Q: running a simple shell script on startup in Yosemite Regarding stackexchange  post how to get shell scripts to run at startup on Yosemite
The offering here is interesting but all I want to do is set the ip address of one of the ethernet interfaces, en0 with ifconfig. I don't want to launch a deamon.
the command to run is just:
ifconfig en0  inet 192.168.1.23 netmask 255.255.255.0

Of course the interface drivers have to be launched and the interfaces available for configuration.
This has to be run by root, other wise it has to be prefaced with sudo, which
has to have the credentials provided.
I have the root account activated on this system and am comfortable with and know most of the hazards.
But I don't want to do this manually every time the machine is booted or restarted.
Perhaps someone from Apple has a reference to a patch or info on why the
network preference operations for manual configuration of interfaces will not set them on mine.
I have been buying and using Macs since the late 1990's. This is one of only two out of nearly a dozen Macs I have owned that is not newly purchased from
a reputable dealer.
Apache server will also not launch with the web sharing option.
Perhaps the machine with the installation is too old? It is

A: You could save your script whatever you want and call it from a .plist file saved on /Library/LaunchAgents/ to be launched at startup.
Let me explain how to do it with an example.

*

*Create you script and save it on /Users/username/setip.sh.

*Create a new file called com.username.setip.plist in /Library/LaunchAgents/. This file must have the following format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>Label</key>
  <string>com.username.setip</string>

  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
  <array>
    <string>/Users/username/setip.sh</string>
  </array>

  <key>Nice</key>
  <integer>1</integer>

  <key>StartInterval</key>
  <integer>60</integer>

  <key>RunAtLoad</key>
  <true/>

  <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
  <string>/tmp/com.username.setip.err</string>

  <key>StandardOutPath</key>
  <string>/tmp/com.username.setip.out</string>
</dict>
</plist>

The file is pretty self-explanatory. It will launch the command /Users/username/setip.sh every 60 seconds, will be launched at load, will save errors on /tmp/com.username.setip.err and logs on /tmp/com.username.setip.out.
Restart, and the script will be executed.

With three CDs coming, Hank3 tours
Monday, July 25, 2011 – Armed three brand new albums out in September, Hank Williams III will kick off the first leg of his 2011 North American tour in Atlanta on Labor Day in Atlanta.
The 22-date tour will play shows through the South into Texas, across to Los Angeles, and up to the Pacific Northwest, ending in Denver on Oct. 6.
"I've been off the road for awhile, and I'm looking' at two years of bein' full-on dedicated to goin' out there and doin' what we do," said Williams. "That's one of the reasons I wanted to release all of these albums at the same time, so I could just focus back on the touring again."
The new music includes the double-country "Ghost to a Ghost/Guttertown," the doom-rock "Attention Deficient Domination" and the speed metal "Cattle Callin" - all to be released on Sept. 6 through his very own, just-launched label Hank3 Records.
The evening will open with a country set, followed by a louder, rowdy Hellbilly set, culminating with a set featuring his new metal/doom band, Attention Deficit Domination. "This is gonna be a little different for the fans who have been used to seein' Assjack for the last 10 years," Williams explained. "Assjack was almost fast hardcore, and ADD is slow, Melvins, sleep-oriented doom rock. So it's gonna be a lot different to see and feel, compared to what most people are used to seein' me do live."
All three of Hank3's new releases were recorded at The Haunted Ranch, Hank3's home and studio just outside of Nashville. He wrote the bulk of the songs that appear on the 41-track "Ghost to a Ghost/Guttertown," a straight-shooting country collection, flavored with Hank3's Hellbilly sound, and heavily weighted with Cajun influence and an ambient, lonesome mood. "Ghost to a Ghost" features guest appearances by Tom Waits, Alan King of Hellstomper, Les Claypool of Primus fame and Hank3's dog, Trooper. "Attention Deficit Domination" has nine songs. The 23-track" Cattle Callin" features Hank3's driving, formidable guitar attack, with instrumentation built around the auctioneering (provided by legendary auctioneers Mitch Jordan and Tim Dowler).
"I've always taken the hard road," he added. "That's what makes us different and what gives the wide audience range of 14 to 80. Cowboys, punks, metalheads, jocks, grandmas, and the average everyday person. We bring them all together under the same roof. That's what makes us proud. That's what makes it worth it at the end of the day."
Tour dates are:
Sept. 5 The Masquerade, Atlanta, GA
Sept. 7 House of Blues, New Orleans, LA
Sept. 8 Scout Bar, Houston, TX
Sept. 9-10 The Rail Club, Ft. Worth, TX

CD reviews for Hank Williams III
Ghost to Ghost/Guttertown
Free at last, free at last, thanks God almighty, he is free at last. After years of self-proclaimed indentured servitude to Mike Curb - a period that saw III hawking F*** Curb T-shirts at his shows and encouraging fans to download his albums for free - Hank III has finally shed his contractual obligations to the man and label that reined in his diversity and vision over the past decade. In other words, III is now legally doing all the things that he's done for years in middle-finger defiance ...
Hillbilly Joker
Call it hellbilly, deathneck or thrashgrass - any way you spin it, but don't think ol' Hank done it this way. His grandson Hank III, however, has developed a fervent following of fans that appreciate those niche genres' unlikely blends of country, shock rock and metal. And while it's certainly not the same old tune, his last six major label releases (and a spattering of bootleg compilations) have added new layers to the Williams family's musical legacy. ...
Rebel Within
The turbulent 14-year relationship between Hank Williams III and Curb Records ends with this release, and while Williams certainly seizes the opportunity to take one last jab at Curb he also delivers some good tunes on his way out the door. He kicks it off with Getting Drunk And Falling Down, a straight ahead honky tonk tune in which Williams begins to take a serious look at the consequences of his lifestyle ("Getting drunk and falling down has taken it's toll on me/ I like living life ...

The Problem With President Grandpa Simpson, Ctd.
Taking a quick look at the Barack Obama national security ad that Jon commented on earlier, it occurs to me that it is probably no coincidence that the first modern challenge the ad cites--before the obvious threats of "loose nukes" and "oil money funding terrorism"--is cyber-attacks. It's not hard to imagine why the Obama camp thought this issue would provide a useful contrast with McCain.
On the other hand, I suppose the McCain campaign could always respond that his would be a presidency uniquely invulnerable to the threat of cyber-attack.

Let's Not Turn #Comicsgate into #Dramagate
DC Green
With coordinated attacks coming from all sides, it's more critical than ever that #Comicsgate members keep their eye on the prize and don't turn into #dramaqueens who favor sniping and infighting over solidarity. Sadly, for those supporting this consumer revolt in the name of good comic books, and for the high profile figures within it, recent history may not be on our side.
On September 3rd, 2018, Alt-Hero publisher Vox Day announced his prospective Comicsgate imprint right here on Bounding Into Comics, and it would be an insult to diarrhea to say that the Comicsgate community understandably lost their crap in response. Whether Vox Day was trying to do something he deemed to be positive for the movement, or he was just trying to co-opt it a la Sad Puppies…or both, is mostly irrelevant; the fallout from his move was quite real, particularly when it came to author and occasional BIC contributor Jon Del Arroz.
Over the course of 24 hours, Del Arroz, whose Sci-Fi and comic book work are both published by Day's imprints, was not only taken to task for his friendship with Day, but he would see some of his sociopolitical positions erroneously conflated with Day's. When the accused makes it crystal clear that they disagree with someone else's specific politics and yet they are still being taken to the woodshed for them, it's a pretty clear case of reactionary outrage. In this case, not only was Del Arroz guilty by association, but it appears his accuser admitted to lying after the fact.
To add to the drama, there's now this apparent parody which, according to Van Sciver, Del Arroz brought to his attention after all of this unfolded. While we may never know the truth, the timing certainly makes it seem as if Psyberfrog might be some form of juvenile retribution.
A Recap of Recent Events…
Guilt by association? Juvenile stunts? Sounds a little SJW, doesn't it? That's because these are the brushes that crowd loves to paint with, and this is the same crowd who is smiling with glee at seeing Comicsgate infighting because they equate it with weakness.
With someone like Vox Day, it's easy to understand this reaction. He has a history of co-opting movements, and he's far more apt just to burn down the house rather than try to treat the infestation, which is what many longtime comic book fans don't want to see. However, in this case Vox didn't do that. He gave up on the Comics Gate imprint and is sticking to publishing popular stories through Arkhaven Comics and Dark Legion Comics. But what about a guy like Jon Del Arroz? What exactly did he do to earn the pile on?
Of course, this is just the most recent example of Comicsgate infighting; there's plenty more where that came from. If these bouts were an ill-conceived DCEU movie, they would have titles like: 'Diversity & Comics v. Capn Cummings: Dawn of the Cuckening, 'Ethan Van Sciver v. Capn Cummings: WTF Just Happened?', 'Ethan Van Sciver v. Douglas Ernst: Deadlines & Hurt Feelings', 'Everyone v. Jon Del Arroz: Dawn of the Faux Racist.
Infighting is always going to happen within a cultural movement like this, and no one is arguing otherwise. The issue here is not the conflict, but the turning of it into public drama for clicks. Rather than trotting this stuff out on the tubes and the comment boards, disputes like these should be kept in-house. If you want to make the resolution public, fine…but maintain a united front. There is no advantage in showing weakness to your opponent, especially when they are increasing the intensity of their attacks.
The line has held up until now, but in the wake of these coordinated attacks from the media, and the Rolodex of virtue signaling from comic book creators denouncing Comicsgate (even those who may not know of what they speak), it's only logical to wonder what will happen when the next bomb drops. Is the pressure going to reduce the movement and its de facto leaders to petty infighting and YouTube drama in lieu of promoting great comics and getting paid, or can we hope that the exact opposite will be true?
Only time will tell…the answer is up to you, #Comicsgate.

Skyler N. Yee
Updated 2:25 p.m. Thursday
For over a year while he was the University of Kansas women's volleyball volunteer assistant coach, Skyler N. Yee also was breaking into homes and stealing underwear and swimsuits, criminal charges allege.
Yee, 23, of Lawrence, was arrested and charged this week with 15 counts of burglary, property damage and theft from mid-December 2017 through last month, according to the complaint filed in Douglas County District Court, obtained Thursday by the Journal-World. The latest alleged crime happened Jan. 1.
Within a few weeks of that, in mid-January, Yee resigned his post with the KU women's volleyball team, KU Athletics officials said.
Yee had been the team's volunteer assistant coach since August 2016. Previously he was team manager during the 2013, 2014 and 2015 seasons.
Yee's charges do not list any victims' names, only initials.
However, when Yee made his first court appearance Wednesday a judge ordered him not to contact any KU volleyball team members — current or former, according to court documents. Yee also was ordered to have no contact with any current or former members of the Lawrence Landsharks, a local youth volleyball club.
Yee's connection to Lawrence Landsharks is unclear. A call to the club Thursday went unanswered, but Yee appears to be present in a team photo published in March 2018 on the club's Facebook page.
Yee's charges comprise four counts of felony burglary, eight counts of misdemeanor theft and three counts of misdemeanor property damage.
He allegedly broke into a home at Rockland West Apartments, 4301 W. 24th Place, once over Christmas break 2017 and once over spring break 2018, according to the complaint. Each time, he allegedly damaged a window and stole underwear, swimsuits, shoes and other clothing from the same three victims.
Charges further allege that Yee broke into a home in the 1500 block of Fountain Drive on Dec. 31, 2018, and on Jan. 1 of this year, again breaking a window and stealing underwear, swimsuits, shoes and other clothing from two victims.
Yee's next court appearance is set for Feb. 26. Casey Meek, a Lawrence attorney representing him, was unavailable for comment Thursday.
Yee was freed on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond, with pretrial monitoring, according to court records.
An Overland Park native, Yee was a KU junior when he took the volunteer assistant coach position at KU. As of Wednesday night, the KU directory still listed him as a student.
Lawrence police declined to share more information about any of the incidents Thursday, saying they had already forwarded cases to the district attorney's office.

A New People's Army (NPA) amazon and a soldier were killed while two other government troops were wounded following two separate encounters in Occidental Mindoro and Quezon provinces on Monday.
The military identified the slain NPA amazon as one "Ka Bikke".
The identity of the killed and wounded soldiers were withheld pending notification of their relatives.
Major General Rhoderick Parayno, the Commander of the Army's 2nd Division, said the NPA amazon was killed following an encounter with government troops at Sitio Tagbungan, Brgy. Barahan, Sta Cruz, Occidental Mindoro, at about 10 a.m. Monday.
It was learned that one section from the 76th Infantry Battalion were scouring the area when it clashed with more or less 30 armed NPA terrorists at around 10 a.m.
The firefight lasted for about 30 minutes when the rebels fled to different directions.
Meanwhile, the soldier who was killed was from the 1st Infantry Battalion and died during an encounter against undetermined number of NPAs at Sitio Little Baguio, Brgy. Magsaysay, Infanta, Quezon. Two others were hurt in the clash.

The United States and the United Nations: Hearings Before the Committee on ...
Аутор: United States. Congress. Senate. Committee on Foreign Relations
STATEMENT OF RICHARD SCAMMON, ELECTIONS RESEARCH
CENTER, WASHINGTON, D.C.
Mr. SCAMMON. Mr. Chairman and Senators.
As you see, I have not prepared a formal statement for this hearing, because I would like to concentrate on just one subject, and I will move, if I may, from the very intriguing, wide-ranging thoughts of Mr. Fuller to a very specific concept within the larger compass which I believe the hearing is seeking to establish this morning when you so kindly invited those of us who are not in an institutional way involved with the United Nations, in the thought that we might be able, and I hope that we might be able, to offer some views to the committee unrelated to those who are professionally involved in international organization affairs.
THE U.N.-NOT A PARLIAMENT OF MAN BUT OF GOVERNMENTS
Briefly, under this heading of vision, what I personally would like to see in these next 5 years with respect to the United Nations would be a reinstallation of the diplomatic purpose of the United Nations as a meeting place, a forum, if you will, of governments. Unhappily, I am afraid that, as we speak in unreal terms, very unreal terms, of the United Nations as a parliament of man, we tend to forget that the majority of the states in the United Nations couldn't be called democratic, that in the majority of these states, less than freedom exists, if I
may make an understatement. That basically, the General Assembly of the United Nations is set up on so undemocratic and unrepresentative a base that no state in this union and no democratic country could treat it except as that the U.N. is not a parliament of men. A parliament of men means freedom, it means democracy, it means voting, it means contest, it means discussion, it means a free press. This does not exist in many parts of the world.
But if I can suggest a word, it would be that the true value of the U.N. could better be seen in a depedestallization of the concept that. we now have. I think a great deal of the withdrawal and dubiety that we find in the United States that I am sure gentlemen both of you
find amongst your constituents, with respect to the U.N., comes from an unreal kind of institution we thought of it as some 30 years ago when it was first founded.
If we can view the U.N. in its most useful function as this parliament of governments without an unreal deification of its purpose, it can be most fruitful for the exercise of diplomacy and the search for world peace and world progress which we are all so concerned.
RETURNING THE U.N. TO ITS DIPLOMATIC PURPOSES
Some weeks ago, Mr. Harlan Cleveland wrote in the New York Times his views on the desirability of abandoning votes in the United Nations. Having been one of the delegates 18 months ago of our country of the General Assembly, in 1973, I know that there is a certain glamour about sitting there in this attractive hall and pushing little buttons, red for no, green for yes, amber for abstain. But button-push
ing is not really the most appropriate function of the U.N. As a matter of fact, I suppose that the button-pushing really gets to be like this new book about Hollywood called "The Day of the Locusts"—it is an unreal fantasy world.
Basically, Mr. Chairman, the whole idea of the U.N., the purpose of the U.N., is, I think, too valuable to be left to the showboaters and to the dogmatics, and I trust we will be able, I hope we will be able in these coming few years, to enhance what this institution really is, a place where diplomacy can play its role in negotiating, in easing, in compromising, in adjusting, so that difficult as we may find life on this world in these next 5 or 10 years, we will find it tolerable through this parliament of governments.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
The CHAIRMAN. Thank you.
Now, Mr. Bitker, we would be very glad to hear from you.
[Mr. Bitker's prepared statement follows:]
PREPARED STATEMENT OF BRUNO V. BITKER OF MILWAUKEE, WIS.
I am delighted to be able to appear before this distinguished body during its consideration of the relationship between the United States and the United Nations. By way of identification, I am a practicing lawyer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Although I appear in my individual capacity, I have long been active in organizations, both governmental and private, relating to the general subject matter. I have also had the honor of testifying before this Committee on previous occasions, particularly concerning ratification of human rights treaties.
Witnesses preceding me at these hearings and at other times have suggested specific steps in the form of amendments to the United Nations Charter as well as procedural changes by which the present structure could be made more effective in attaining the noble objectives of the world organization. I do not intend to discuss at length these suggestions by which the United Nations could be strengthened or the means by which the United States could make its influence felt more positively within the United Nations.
On one front this Committee has already taken a significant step toward improving the image of the United States in the world community. I refer to its action in urging the Senate to ratify the Genocide Convention which, after many years in the deep freeze, is now on the Senate calendar awaiting a vote. I believe ratification of that treaty and others, especially the Convention Against .Racial Discrimination and the two International Covenants on Human Rights, would go far to convince the rest of the world that not only do we proclaim our belief in the rights covered by these treaties but that we are willing to say so by signing on the dotted line.
The matter of strengthening the United Nations through Charter review, through Charter revision, through changed procedures, has been before this Committee for many years. As long ago as 1950, a Subcommittee under Senator Elbert D. Thomas on Revision of the United Nations Charter held extensive hearings, subsequently published, which are still of great value.
One of the series of resolutions relating to strengthening the United Nations then being considered by the Subcommittee was Senate Resolution 133, 81st Congress, 1st Session. Its sponsor was Senator John Sparkman, now the Chairman of this Committee. Much of what was said then could be repeated now with equal force. That resolution contemplated the removal of the veto power under the Charter in defined matters of aggression, the avoidance of the threat of atomic catastrophe, the reduction of the armament race, and establishing "an effective but tyranny proof international police force under a 'workable' Security Council and World Court." (P. 171 of the Hearings.).
Despite excellent statements that have been made by our several Presidents since the formation of the United Nations in 1945, as well as by Secretaries of State and by United States Ambassadors to the United Nations, the official position of the State Department has changed very little since it voiced its opposition to Senator Sparkman's resolution of 1950. The Department then opposed his proposal as "a transformation of the United Nations into some form of world government." (Testimony of John D. Hickerson, Assistant Secretary of State, Hearings, P. 458.)
As recently as December, 1974, a very mild General Assembly Resolution (3349 [XXIX]) on the creation of an ad hoc committee of 42 to consider suggestions regarding the review of the United Nations Charter, was adopted by an overwhelming vote, the United States (and the Soviet Union) voted in opposition. This is regrettable. That vote evidently prompted Congressman William L. Hungate (with the endorsement of numerous other congressmen) to introduce House Concurrent Resolution, 206 (April 8, 1975). This resolution asks the President "to direct the Department of State to formulate constructive and forward-looking United States proposals for the more effective functioning of the United Nations, through (a) changes in the Charter of the United Nations, and/or (b) procedural changes that may not require Charter amendment, in order to promote a just and lasting Peace through the development of the rule of law, including protection of individual rights and liberties as well as the field of war prevention." A report to this Committee and the House Committee is requested before June 30, 1975. It is hoped that this Committee will give its support to House Concurrent Resolution 206.
This brings me to what I deem most important for the consideration of this Committee. There is almost unanimity of opinion that the United Nations must be strengthened. The opposition to any material change, expressed by some of the nations, including our own, can be summarized by such phrases as "it would be a world government", or "it threatens our sovereignty", or "the giant states will devour the small states", or "the haves will have more and the havenots will have less." These are the same objections that were strenuously and sincerely advanced during the Era of the American Revolution by some of the 13 independent, sovereign states (the colonies). Yet out of that conflict evolved a great federation of states which we now know as the United States of America. What is here proposed is that the experience of the 13 colonies during the period from 1776 to 1789 be studied to determine whether the manner whereby the sharp conflicts that then existed between the sovereign states were resolved can serve as a possible pattern for resolving the problems now facing the international community.
It may be fortuitous that these Senate hearings should be conducted on the eve of the Bicentennial Observance. The report which could come out of these hearings and the study which might be prepared by scholars for this Committee could not only serve as a meaningful celebration of what happened 200 years ago, but also be a contribution to the whole world in seeking peace under justice for all mankind during the next 200 years.
Two hundred years ago this country consisted of 13 independent, sovereign states. At the time the notion that they could be unified into one nation, under one law, appeared to many to be pure fantasy. But it was done. The late Catherine Drinker Bowen entitled her dramatic documentary work about the Constitutional Convention of 1787, "Miracle at Philadelphia." And miracle it was! The distinguished American historian, Carl Van Doren, called it "The Great Rehearsal." Can the miracle of that time be repeated? Can the "rehearsal" become a world production?
The 13 colonies were faced with dangers from both within and from without. But no one at that time could have imagined the dangers which face mankind today. The sense of danger which impelled the 13 colonies to join together for common action is not yet deeply felt throughout the world. Yet it was this recognition of danger that enabled the Allies to win World War I and World War II. This sense of danger has produced among the Western Europeans the Common Market, which places unprecedented restrictions on national sovereignty. For the moment we may not be so fearful of World War III being started by the super powers. But we cannot be unaware of what might come out of widespread hostilities between other smaller powers, some of which may already have developed an atomic bomb. Nor can we close our eyes to the danger from famine, industrial collapse, the breakdown of international trade, pollution and other disasters resulting from world imbalances of food, of population, of energy, of money. These dangers are obviously greater than the dangers of the Era of the Revolution. They demand international solutions, as the problems of 1776 required national solutions.
It is easy to view the Revolutionary Era with the hindsight of 200 years and assert that what was accomplished then was merely the adjustment of differences between members of one family. But that simply was not true. The 13
states were not one big happy family, unified by language, by religion, by a community of interests. On the contrary, disunity prevailed throughout the war and for years afterward: harmony rarely existed.
James Madison of Virginia, a chief architect of the Constitution (and later to become the President of the United States), noted that: "Of the affairs of Georgia, I know as little as of Kamchatka." And Pierce Butler, of South Carolina, another delegate to the Constitutional Convention, concluded that "the manner and mood of thinking" of the several states, differed "nearly as much as in the different nations of Europe."
While there was no love lost between the colonies and the colonists, there were, of course, similarities between them. But it is interestering to recall that Dutch was the preferred language in parts of New York, especially in the commercial world. It is intriguing to note that many influential persons thought German should be Pennsylvania's official language. In certain of the colonies, French and Spanish were commonly used.
On the economic front, the rivalry between states was no different than what exists between some nations today. Customs laws were freely used by one state against another. New York took steps that produced a serious drain on Connecticut and New Jersey. Despite the provisions of the Articles of Confederation, New York entered into a separate treaty with the Indians. New Jersey viewed New York as a foreign state against which barriers must be erected to prevent its encroaching upon the Sovereign State of New Jersey.
It is said that because the colonies were physically adjacent to one another, eventual unity was easy to attain. This was a factor, of course. But it is necessary, when comparing now with then, to measure distances not only in miles but in time. The fact is that it took many more hours, in some instances even more days, to travel from one city to another, than the hours required today to move from one side of the world to the other. Indeed it takes far less time today to circle the globe than it took most delegates to reach Philadelphia from various points of departure.
It is a matter of wonder that the colonies won the War of Revolution. Certainly it was not due to any unity between the colonies. Although designated Commander-in-Chief, George Washington was in fact the commander of thirteen allied armies and not of a unified Continental Army. Throughout the war his correspondence consisted of constant pleas for food, for clothing, for arms. During the first part of the war, there was in fact no central government. The Continental Congress conducted the national affairs—if they could so be designated—not by virtue of any charter but under a kind of gentlemen's agreement.
Examples of the insistence upon the separate sovereignty and independence of the colonies appear not only during the post Revolutionary period, but even during the war itself. For instai ce when Washington urged New Jersey troops to swear allegiance to the United States, they refused, proclaiming that "New Jersey is our country." One New Jersey delegate to the Continental Congress found the idea of swearing allegiance to a central government so unacceptable that he publicly criticized Washington for requesting the oath. Even John Adams later referred to Massachusetts as "our country" and to the Massachusetts representatives as "our embassy."
As time went on it became clear that achieving independence was difficult enough, but establishing a strong, central national government was even more difficult. Before the Constitutional Convention convened in 1787, Washington concluded that: "We are either a united people under one head, and for federal purposes; or we are thirteen independent sovereignties, eternally counteracting each other." Washington was deeply disturbed by the constant bickering and confrontations between the states. Various states violated the peace treaty, particularly in respect to the honoring of prewar debts to British merchants, which the British used to justify their own refusal to evacuate frontier forts that had been surrendered to the United States. Washington was, therefore, especially fearful of the military insecurity of the United States against the British on the north, the Indians on the west and the Spanish on the south and west.
Between 1783, the end of the war, and 1789, when the Constitution came into force, citizens of all political beliefs and of no political beliefs, recognized the inadequacy of the Articles of Confederation. The lack of a central national authority caused Washington to comment: "I do not conceive we can exist long as a nation without having lodged somewhere a power which will pervade the whole Union in an energetic manner as the authority of the state governments extends over the several states."
Problems confronting the 13 sovereign states of the Era of the Revolution loomed as large then as those which in 1976 confront sovereign nations of the world. The eminent Henry Steele Commager in his recent historical study, "Jefferson, Nationalism and the Enlightenment", thus summarizes the comparable situations : "The problems which confronted the Revolutionary Generation were quite as complex, as importunate, and as frightening as those which confront us now." There then existed a nation of some three millions, "divided into thirteen independent states, scattered over an immense territory without any system of roads or of communications, with no common organs of government, no common centers of economy, no common church, no common ruling class, and as yet no common loyalties...
After the end of the Revolutionary War, it did not take long for the ardor for independence, which had held the colonies together even though so loosely, to diminish. But the need to bring the states together into a single nation became increasingly obvious. Accordingly, in February, 1787, the Continental Congress, called a convention of the States "for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation ... to render the federal constitution adequate to the exigencies of government and the preservation of the Union."
That convention, meeting in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787, came to be known as the Constitutional Convention. The result of that convention was not the revision of the Articles of Confederation but the adoption of the United States Constitution. This was not the stated purpose of that convention and the objections to so drastic a step were vigorously advanced. A principle objection to any change then was expressed in the same phrase now used against considering United Nations Charter review : "Let well enough alone."
A key and decisive issue before the Convention was on voting. The same problem existed then as now: should the vote of every state be equal? The one state-one vote rule had been followed during the Revolutionary War and continued under the Articles of Confederation. The large states favored representation on the basis of population (and possibly other factors). If voting was proportional, the small states feared being engulfed by the large states. The small states demanded equal voting power regardless of size, of wealth, or of population.
The Great Compromise, one state-one vote in the Senate, proportional representation in the House, now appears so simple a way out, that it is not easy to realize that the Constitutional Convention might have fallen apart over this one state-one vote problem. In a sense, it is the same problem that faces the world organization today. Without attempting to resolve that question here, gested, however, that a system of voting, certainly in the General Assembly, might retain the one nation-one vote formula in certain types of decisions, while following a form of weighted or proportional voting, based on population, wealth or other relevant factors, in other types of decisions.
On September 17, 1787, the 12 states represented at the Constitutional Convention unanimously approved the final draft of the Constitution (Rhode Island, the 13th state, had boycotted the Convention). It was thereafter submitted to separate constitutional conventions in each State for ratification by a minimum of nine states to bring it into force. It is significant that the Constitution begins, "We, the people of the United States," instead of, "We, the States." That phrase, "We, the people" is also the opening phrase of the United Nations Charter.
While the state conventions were debating ratification, there appeared a flood of pamphlets, pro and con. The opponents identified a central government with tyranny, feared that the voting compromise was not sufficient to protect the small states against the large states, urged that the country be divided into geographical regions (the usual proposal was for separate political entities for the Southern Colonies, the Middle Colonies and the New England Colonies).
The final ratification of the Constitution was not speedily nor easily attained. It was not until June 21, 1788, that the ninth state, New Hampshire, ratified. But as of that date, two key states, New York and Virginia, had not acted. Although the Constitution could have been considered in being without these two states, obviously the new nation would only limp into existence without them. It would be like having a world organization without the United States and the Soviet Union.
Fortunately, New York and Virginia ratified shortly after New Hampshire acted. It is interesting to note that ratification carried by only 3 votes in New York, by mere 10 vote margins in Virginia and New Hampshire. Rhode Island, which did not ratify until one year after the new government was established, did so by a slim 2 vote majority. The significance of these votes lies in the fact

Last Wild Macaw is lonely and looking for love.
DAVID BILLER / AP
By DAVID BILLER / AP
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Some have claimed she's indulging a forbidden romance. More likely, loneliness compels her to seek company at Rio de Janeiro's zoo.
Either way, a blue-and-yellow macaw that zookeepers named Juliet is believed to be the only wild bird of its kind left in the Brazilian city where the birds once flew far and wide.
Almost every morning for the last two decades, Juliet has appeared. She swoops onto the zoo enclosure where macaws are kept and, through its fence, engages in grooming behavior that looks like conjugal canoodling. Sometimes she just sits, relishing the presence of others. She is quieter — shier? more coy? — than her squawking chums.
Blue-and-yellow macaws live to be about 35 years old and Juliet — no spring chicken — should have found a lifelong mate years ago, according to Neiva Guedes, president of the Hyacinth Macaw Institute, an environmental group. But Juliet hasn't coupled, built a nest or had chicks, so at most she's "still just dating."
"They're social birds, and that means they don't like to live alone, whether in nature or captivity. They need company," said Guedes, who also coordinates a project that researches macaws in urban settings. Juliet "very probably feels lonely, and for that reason goes to the enclosure to communicate and interact."
Aside from Juliet, the last sighting of a blue-and-yellow macaw flying free in Rio was in 1818 by an Austrian naturalist, according to Marcelo Rheingantz, a biologist at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and there are no other types of macaws in the city. The lovebirds featured in the 2011 film "Rio″ are Spix's macaws, which are native to a different region of Brazil and possibly extinct in the wild.
Being boisterous with brilliant plumage helps macaws find each other in dense forest, but also makes them easier targets for hunters and animal traffickers. They're often seen in other Brazilian states and across the Amazon, and it is suspected Juliet escaped from captivity.
Biologists at BioParque aren't sure if Juliet's nuzzling is limited to one caged Romeo, or a few of them. They're not even certain Juliet is female; macaw gender is near impossible to determine by sight, and requires either genetic testing of feathers or blood, or examination of the gonads.
Either would be interference merely to satisfy human curiosity with no scientific end, biologist Angelita Capobianco said inside the enclosure. Nor would they consider confining Juliet, who often soars overhead and appears well-nourished.
"We don't want to project human feelings. I look at the animal, and see an animal at ease," Capobianco said, noting Juliet has never exhibited behavior to indicate disturbance, such as insistently pecking at the fence.
"Who am I to decide it should only stay here? I won't. It comes and goes, and its feathers are beautiful."
After more than a year of COVID-19 quarantine and travel bans, the appeal of roaming without restriction is evident to humankind. Macaws are used to flying great distances of more than 30 kilometers (20 miles) a day, Guedes said.
Last year, BioParque g ave its macaws more space: a 1,000-square-meter (10,700-square-foot) aviary where they fly beside green parrots and golden parakeets to compose an aerial, technicolor swirl. It's a massive upgrade from prior enclosures that were roughly 100 square feet. BioParque reopened to the public in March, after privatization of Rio's dilapidated zoo and almost 17 months of renovations.
BioParque aims to feature species associated with research programs at universities and institutes. One such initiative is Refauna, which reintroduces species into protected areas with an eye on rebuilding ecosystems, and is participating with BioParque to start breeding blue-and-yellow macaws.
The plan is for parents to raise some 20 chicks that will receive training on forest food sources, the peril of predators and avoidance of power lines. Then the youngsters will be released into Rio's immense Tijuca Forest National Park, where Juliet has been sighted and is thought to sleep each night.
"Their role could be important in terms of ecosystem and reforestation. It's a big animal with big beak that can crack the biggest seeds, and not all birds can," said Rheingantz, the university biologist, who is also Refauna's technical coordinator. "The idea is for it to start dispersing those seeds, complementing forest animals that can't."

The Rebuild...Renovation, Part I
On Easter Sunday, 2003, the Washington Capitals lost Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Despite having committed considerable years and money to Jaromir Jagr and Robert Lang, despite having home grown players such as Peter Bondra (his ninth 30-goal season) and Olaf Kolzig (33 wins, a 2.40 GAA) still very productive players, the Caps once more found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The loss was their fourth in a row in that series after winning the first two games.
And no one was happy at the result, least of all the man in charge, who vented at the fans ("I have to really reconsider the kind of commitment and investment I'm making with this team. I'm not a quitter. ... It was hard to see 14,000 fans."), at building management ("I don't like the treatment that we're getting from the building. The party's over. To play back-to-back games on Passover and Easter Sunday does not help."), at the refs ("They made a cheap call on too many men on the ice that I don't understand. The third game really hurt us. The penalty on Olie [Kolzig] was the wrong call. Every game at home or every pivotal game was in the hands of the refs."). It was an unhappiness that might have been uttered by any of those 14,000 fans in attendance or those watching on television.
And thus, the seeds of the remaking of the Washington Capitals were planted – the "rebuild." By the following spring Jagr, Bondra, and Lang would be gone. The Caps would sink almost to the bottom of the league standings, ship off high-salary players for draft picks and prospects, suffer the growing pains of youth, and eventually rise again to become a playoff team.
We took a look at the rebuild in its "revisited" and "reloaded" versions. The rebuild might be done, but like a homeowner might do after having lived a while in a home, some renovations are in order. And that is what the Caps appear to have been doing this summer. There is already a "core" of players – those to whom the club has committed long term contracts or who might reasonably be receiving that commitment in the near future that has been some years in the making and some years in maturing. And there is also a cohort of players that are the role players, the support players, the character actors that might or might not at some point become "core" players, but more likely are those players who have a window of opportunity with the Caps. It is a window that will close based on diminishing skills or increasing contract demands when their current deals expire, or perhaps as a product of their value as a trading asset to obtain more appropriate skills. Just as in a renovation one doesn't tear up the foundation, one doesn't tear up the core of the organization. The Caps have redone the kitchen, renovated the bath, remodeled the family room in a manner of speaking. Looking back at the "prebuild" and the "revisited" and "reloaded" phases of the rebuild, we have something that might look like this with respect to the roster…
(click for larger version)
We are going to take a look at this in pieces, the first of which is "The core." The obvious difference is that the core has become younger than that which existed in the "prebuild." In the "prebuild," we defined the core as Jaromir Jagr (on a high-value/long-term contract), Robert Lang (same), Peter Bondra (an iconic home grown Capital still on a contract paying him $4,750,000), and Olaf Kolzig (another home-grown Cap still on a contract paying him $6,000,000 a year). Each member of this group had reached or passed the age of 30 (Bondra was the oldest, at 34, while Jagr was the youngest, at 30). And on defense, Sergei Gonchar and Brendan Witt might have been considered "core" players. Both were younger than their forward counterparts (28 and 27, respectively), but well into their respective careers, nevertheless (their ninth and eighth seasons, respectively).
Move forward through the revisited and reloaded phases of the rebuild and to the current version of the Caps. The old core was dissolved, and the new one expanded, as we define it, from the 2007 version that included Alex Ovechkin, Alexander Semin, and Mike Green (we would no longer include a 36-year old Olaf Kolzig in that group) to the 2008 version that would add Nicklas Backstrom, thus completing the "Young Guns" group.
Now, after four playoff appearances, the "core" group might also include Brooks Laich, who was signed to a six-year contract after this past season ended. Of these five players—Ovechkin, Backstrom, Semin, Green, and Laich – big things are now expected. And if one might be inclined to think that these five players are youngsters just entering their prime, the fact of the matter is that only Nicklas Backstrom will be younger than 25 on opening night of the 2011-2012 season. More to the point, this quintet now has more than 2,000 combined games of regular season experience (2,034, to be exact) and 184 games of playoff experience. Green is the only one of the five to have missed any of the 37 playoff games the Caps played over the past four seasons, and he missed but one.
However, each of these five players saw their individual numbers drop in the 2010-2011 season from the previous season (goals, assists, points, plus-minus):
Not that individual numbers are the be-all and end-all of player performance, and there were instances of mitigating factors (Green missing 33 games, the Caps shifting their team emphasis from pressing offense to paying more attention to defensive matters). But combined, this group recorded 65 fewer goals than in the 2009-2010 season, accounting for almost 70 percent of the decrease in goals (94) scored from the 2009-2010 season. And while there are technical reasons (too many defensive zone starts for the top line, for example) that would help explain the drop, they don't do enough to explain the decline in power play production. These five players saw their combined power play goals scored cut more than half, from 54 in 2009-2010 to 26 in 2010-2011. The drop of 28 power play goals explains almost all of the total drop of 33 power play goals from 2009-2010 to 2010-2011. Not surprising, since these five players led the Caps in power play time on ice in each of the past two seasons.
But as we said, individual numbers are not everything. They have to be the players who, either by example or by personality, have to lead this team to where they need to go. George McPhee was rather blunt about it recently in speaking of the "Young Guns":
"They are difference-makers, and if they are really on top of their games and committed and playing well, then this team will have success. The message to them this summer has been, 'It is time for you guys to really take over. You're talented, you can be a difference-maker, but now it is time to lead. We've had guys like (Sergei) Fedorov in and (Jason) Arnott, but it is your turn. You're old enough, you're experienced enough now to really take over and lead.'"
How they perform individually – reflected in their numbers – will be an indicator of how well they might lead by example, but there will be other things to watch for. The degree to which other players – youngsters like John Carlson or Marcus Johansson – take their cues from how hard these core players work on and off the ice, the extent to which they play – and play well – when hurt (as opposed to "injured"), how they deal with adversity both on the ice (by ramping up their performance) and off (the degree to which they are accountable as leaders for the team's performance).
George McPhee and his staff, with the personnel moves they made this summer, sent a strong signal to these players that the club has entered a new phase in its rebuild, a more urgent one. Signing a 35-year old Tomas Vokoun, a 37-year old Roman Hamrlik, and a 35-year old Jeff Halpern fairly shouts, "win now." That is a signal that the core, years in building, is now experienced enough that they need to think of this as their team. They are a group that should no longer need the "training wheels" of leadership that a Fedorov or an Arnott provided. They are far enough along so that the team can add a player such as a Vokoun or a Halpern for a year as that last missing piece. It is a clear signal that all the building of the core is done – their time is now.

'Gulabo Sitabo' brings Ayushmann Khurrana back to UP for the fifth consecutive time
| Updated: Jun 06, 2020, 11:18 PM IST
Ayushmann Khurrana is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film 'Gulabo Sitabo' on Amazon Prime Video on June 12. Directed by Shoojit Sircar, the actor will be sharing the screen with Bollywood's legend Amitabh Bachchan for the first time.
Shot in Lucknow, the film is Ayushmann's fifth in line to have been set in the backdrop of India's heartland. The actor, born and brought up in Chandigarh, has managed to get the UP ka andaaz in each of his films. Here's a look at a list of his films that were shot in UP.
Released in 2019, 'Article 15' was shot in UP's Lucknow - the city of Nawabs. Ayushmann plays a Delhi-based IPS officer Ayan Ranjan who is posted to Lalgaon as the ASP. The film is based on true-life events and deals with the issues of caste discrimination in a manner that has not been done before.
The actor had revealed that for one scene, the team had to shoot in a swamp filled with leeches. ''Anubhav Sinha hum aapke liye khoon bahane ko tayaar hain,'' said Ayushmann.

Ayushmann Khurrana was seen acing the Mathura dialect in 'Dream Girl', in which his character impersonates the female voice that also lands him a job. The actor shot in the patli galis, temples, and the ghats of Mathura. During the shooting, the actor shared many Instagram stories chronicling his Mathura days and anecdotal behind-the-scenes shots. The film gives a beautiful glimpse into the simple and endearing life of a small town.
Ayushmann's satirical comedy 'Bala' was shot not just in one, but two cities of Uttar Pradesh - Lucknow and Kanpur. Ayushmann plays a young Kanpuriya guy Balamukund 'Bala' Shukla who suffers from premature baldness. Shot in the real locations, the film captures the essence of the two cities beautifully.
The versatile actor, too, nailed the Kanpuriya accent with ease when he says dialogues like ''Itni zor se maarenge ki ek baar tippa kha ke seedhe Phoolbagh pahonchoge!''.
Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan
Ayushmann's last release, 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan', tells the story of two people from LGBTQ community who are facing trouble in convincing their families of their relationship. The film was shot in Varanasi. The team shot extensively for a month in the city. 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan' gives small-town parents a much-needed nudge to accept their children for who they are.
Gulabo Sitabo
Coming up next is soon-to-be-released 'Gulabo Sitabo'. The film marks Ayushmann's consecutive fifth film to be shot in UP. For this film, Ayushmann once again landed in the city of Nawabs. Set in Lucknow, the film sees Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann constantly bickering for a haveli. The film, which is soon releasing on Amazon Prime Video, brings out the rustic, old-school charm of the city.


Valyoo, a New Delhi-headquartered e-commerce company, specializes in category-specific online shopping destinations. Valyoo currently maintains four sites: LensKart for optical products; WatchKart for quality time pieces; BagsKart for purses and bags; and JewelsKart for jewelry. All of Valyoo's sites have experienced rapid growth in the past year.
A data-driven company from the beginning, Valyoo wanted to increase its reporting efficiency, help managers make decisions faster, and keep up with increased reporting demands without hiring additional staffers.
Since its inception in 2010, Valyoo management has been focused on the numbers. And they credit that focus with helping to drive the company's amazing success—Valyoo has grown from roughly 100 employees to 500 in little more than a year.
In early 2012, the analytics team was using Access and Excel to meet reporting needs—and Nikhil Doegar, Head of Business Intelligence & Analytics for Valyoo could see that demand would quickly outstrip what his five-person team could produce using these tools.
"In a company growing at 20, 30 percent month over month, if managers were to keep depending on the analytics team to build them data, by the time they got the data it would be very late," Doegar says.
For a typical request, for example, the team would pull data out of the Microsoft SQL Server database and then create pivot tables in Excel. He estimates that his team spent approximately four hours per day building these repeated reports with fresh data.
For example, the company closely watches Google Analytics data to understand its customers' behavior on-site. The faster the analytics team could process the data and report on it, the sooner senior leadership at the company could make strategic decisions. While the team got this information out as soon as possible, Doegar knew the manual process could be improved.
Doegar began his search for a better solution, and he had a very clear idea of his requirements.
In addition to Tableau, Valyoo considered QlikView from QlikTech.
The team is using Tableau Desktop to author its visual reports; Valyoo is using Tableau Server to more easily share interactive data visualizations. The company trialed Tableau 7 but quickly migrated to Tableau 8 when it was released a month after the initial purchase. Most of the company's reporting has been developed in Tableau 8.
All in all, Doegar found the migration straight-forward. "There were some initial settings and things which obviously we did not know, but then the sales partners in India, Corporate Renaissance Group (CRG), helped us set it up. It was a fairly easy process, not very difficult," he says.
As an e-commerce company, the biggest feature which has helped us is Tableau's integration with Google Analytics. I'm sure it's helpful in many other industries as well, but it is our bread and butter. Having Google Analytics information integrated with our BI tool is a big thing for us—it helps us figure out who are the people buying and who are the people not buying, and if they're not buying, what is the reason for that.
Doegar says that his team is using the Google Analytics direct connector "quite a bit." And he notes that while they see opportunities for future improvement, the team is finding Google Analytics with Tableau to be much more efficient than the prior Excel-based method.
Doegar is pleased that any visualizations his team produces through Tableau include the ability to drill-down into the raw data.
In fact, Doegar says that Valyoo has been able to further propagate its existing data-driven culture through Tableau.
This has allowed managers to be more self-sufficient as well.
Tableau has helped the team continue to support the rapidly-growing company while remaining quite small.
"In terms of Tableau helping us to support 500 people—it's about the bandwidth of the team. If the tool wasn't right today, the analytics team might be a 20-people team just to support the business. But today we are able to do that with four or five people," he says.
Another distinct improvement is the automatic refresh capabilities in Tableau Server, which has enabled Valyoo to automate many standard reports that used to take half the day to re-build with new data.
Over a typical month, that means that the analytics team is seeing a savings of more than 90 hours.
Additionally, business users save, on average, an hour a day thanks to Doegar's team's ability to provide access to updated data.
"They are able to focus more on the strategic decisions instead of having to run around to trying to get the data themselves," says Doegar.
The analytics team is able to get daily data to decision makers faster now, too. "We can see data earlier in the day—at least two hours sooner, on average" says Doegar. And the analytics team is not only providing data earlier, but the quantity and quality of the data has improved, all of which helps Valyoo leadership drive towards continued success.
"Once you know what is selling, then you can start focusing the right items and you stop focusing on the others. So it helps a lot," Doegar says.

VICE PRESIDENT, former Executive Committee Member, U.S.M.C.
Retired Marine Veteran Jennifer Jones' kidney journey began while deployed to Afghanistan in 2011. In what felt like a blink of an eye she went from serving as a Combat Camera Videographer to being medically retired in 2013 due to being diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis (MPGN) Type 1, Idiopathic. Jennifer admits that at first she was considered a "challenging patient" because at first, she couldn't accept the situation that she was in. She realized when she began dialysis that she had to accept her current situation and focus on what was within her control, which is becoming her own advocate and taking charge of her health and well-being. Once approved for a kidney transplant Jennifer began an active pursuit for a living altruistic donor. On April 2, 2015, she received a kidney transplant and a new sister, a selfless person who did not know her but felt compelled to save her life after hearing her story. She is passionate about kidney disease advocacy, innovation, and education. Her wish for every kidney patient is to become their own advocate, be able to properly navigate their health care system, co-create a plan with their health care team which included the dialysis modality they are comfortable with, a goal towards transplantation (if possible), and positive coping strategies. Jennifer is also a member of the Quality Insights Renal Network 5 Patient Advisory Committee, Veterans Transplantation Association, The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients Task 5 Steering Committee, and Rare Disease Diversity Coalition.
