U.S. warns about Canadian spy coins
Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Quigley_Sharps, Jan 11, 2007.
WASHINGTON - Money talks, but can it also follow your movements?
In a U.S. government warning high on the creepiness scale, the Defense Department cautioned its American contractors over what it described as a new espionage threat: Canadian coins with tiny radio frequency transmitters hidden inside.
The government said the mysterious coins were found planted on U.S. contractors with classified security clearances on at least three separate occasions between October 2005 and January 2006 as the contractors traveled through Canada.
Intelligence and technology experts said such transmitters, if they exist, could be used to surreptitiously track the movements of people carrying the spy coins.
The U.S. report doesn't suggest who might be tracking American defense contractors or why. It also doesn't describe how the Pentagon discovered the ruse, how the transmitters might function or even which Canadian currency contained them.
Further details were secret, according to the U.S. Defense Security Service, which issued the warning to the Pentagon's classified contractors. The government insists the incidents happened, and the risk was genuine.
"What's in the report is true," said Martha Deutscher, a spokeswoman for the security service. "This is indeed a sanitized version, which leaves a lot of questions."
Top suspects, according to outside experts: China, Russia or even France — all said to actively run espionage operations inside Canada with enough sophistication to produce such technology.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service said it knew nothing about the coins.
"This issue has just come to our attention," CSIS spokeswoman Barbara Campion said. "At this point, we don't know of any basis for these claims." She said Canada's intelligence service works closely with its U.S. counterparts and will seek more information if necessary.
Experts were astonished about the disclosure and the novel tracking technique, but they rejected suggestions Canada's government might be spying on American contractors. The intelligence services of the two countries are extraordinarily close and routinely share sensitive secrets.
"It would seem unthinkable," said David Harris, former chief of strategic planning for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. "I wouldn't expect to see any offensive operation against the Americans."
Harris said likely candidates include foreign spies who targeted Americans abroad or businesses engaged in corporate espionage. "There are certainly a lot of mysterious aspects to this," Harris said.
Experts said such tiny transmitters would almost certainly have limited range to communicate with sensors no more than a few feet away, such as ones hidden inside a doorway. The metal in the coins also could interfere with any signals emitted.
"I'm not aware of any (transmitter) that would fit inside a coin and broadcast for kilometers," said Katherine Albrecht, an activist who believes such technology carries serious privacy risks. "Whoever did this obviously has access to some pretty advanced technology."
Experts said hiding tracking technology inside coins is fraught with risks because the spy's target might inadvertently give away the coin or spend it buying coffee or a newspaper. They agreed, however, that a coin with a hidden tracking device might not arouse suspicion if it were discovered in a pocket or briefcase.
"It wouldn't seem to be the best place to put something like that; you'd want to put it in something that wouldn't be left behind or spent," said Jeff Richelson, a researcher and author of books about the CIA and its gadgets. "It doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense."
Canada's largest coins include its $2 "Toonie," which is more than 1-inch across and thick enough to hide a tiny transmitter. The CIA has acknowledged its own spies have used hollow, U.S. silver-dollar coins to hide messages and film.
The government's 29-page report was filled with other espionage warnings. It described unrelated hacker attacks, eavesdropping with miniature pen recorders and the case of a female foreign spy who seduced her American boyfriend to steal his computer passwords.
In another case, a film processing company called the FBI after it developed pictures for a contractor that contained classified images of U.S. satellites and their blueprints. The photo was taken from an adjoining office window.

Rfid fun , Welcome to the new world of technology, with rfid you are not carrying a tranmitter merely a microchip attached to an antenna coil. The transmitter can be as big as it needs to be ..I think its safe to say this kinda thing wil become commonplace. If you suspect someone of meeting with a foriegn agent you might slip them a coin after they purchase a cup of starbucks or drop it into their pocket,after a bump all kind ofcounter inteligence reasons to track someones movements...

Q: How Messenger.com & Facebook.com share login / user data? I recently had a use-case of sharing login / user data between two different domains without doing SSO or extra-login-step.
I want user to login on app-a.com, when he goes to app-b.com, it will auto-login without any action or at least show him his data to login in one click.
When you are logged-in on facebook.com and go to messenger.com for the first time, that is actually what happens.

How do facebook.com and messenger.com share login / user data?
I first thought it was an Iframe, but there's no iframe in the page when I check with the Chrome Cosole.
I also checked the AJAX requests but nothing readable there.
How do they do this?

Oh, joy! San Marzano has once again transformed into D's Cafe, workplace/hangout of Billy Eichner in Difficult People. Our fave Hulu original is shooting on the corner of East 7th Street and First Avenue, and returns to the small screen later this year. According to Eichner's Facebook feed, Debbie Harry, Amy Sedaris, and Julianne Moore (an alum of Billy on the Street, which got picked up for a fifth season last month) are all lined up for season deux.
show Difficult People filmed on East 11th Street in January and at San Marzano in February. Now the first two episodes are up on Hulu, and they're just the sort of acerbic brilliance you'd expect from the guy behind Billy On the Street. Turns out, San Marzano (or D's Cafe, as it's called on the show) is where Billy works as a waiter while trying to hack it as an actor/comedian, with Gabourey Sidibe (aka Precious) playing his boss. Appropriately, East Village denizen Rachel Dratch of SNL makes a cameo as a customer.

Q: True or False? And Why? Should I decide based on how low the p-value is? Please help. If in a Chi-square test the degree of freedom is 2, Test statistic is 5.49, critical value is 3.49. The p-value is computed as 0.032 and confidence level is 95%. The conclusion is that we should reject H0.

A: No matter the test, the process is always the same - choose the right test, compute a test statistic, get a p-value, make a decision.
You're testing at the $95\%$ level, so we set $\alpha = 0.05$. The rule is if $p < \alpha$ then we reject the null hypothesis. Otherwise, we fail to reject.
For this experiment we have $p = 0.032$. Now this is certainly smaller than $\alpha$. Hence we reject the null hypothesis.
This goes on no matter what test you do, be it $\chi^2$, ANOVA, $F$-test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson-Darling, anything.

A: I suppose your question is how to use the critical value or the P-value
to know whether to reject the null hypothesis. The usual terminology for testing
is to say that the significance level is 5% (not that the confidence level
is 95%, which is used for confidence intervals).
Chi-squared tests are ordinarily right-tailed. That is, large values of
the chi-squared statistic indicate poor agreement of the data with the
null hypothesis. So if the observed value of the chi-squared statistic
is 5.49 and the critical value is 5.99, then you do not reject the null hypothesis
at the 5% level. The critical value cuts 5% of the probability from the
upper tail of the chi-squared distribution (with the relevant degrees
of freedom).
I think you have the wrong critical value and P-value. The critical value
for a right-tailed test at the 5% level is 5.99.  The P-value corresponding
to the observed value 5.49 is 0.642. (You can verify the critical value
from a printed table of chi-squared distributions. Typically, some sort
of software is required to find P-values.) The computations below are from R
statistical software in which qchisq denote a quantile function and
pchisq denotes a cumulative distribution function.
qchisq(.95, 2)
## 5.991465
1 - pchisq(5.49, 2)
## 0.0642483

The P-value is the probability under the chi-squared density curve to
the right of the observed value 0.064 of the test statistic. If the P-value is smaller than 0.05, one rejects the null hypothesis at the 5% level. So again,
using the P-value criterion, you do not reject the null hypothesis.
The figure below shows the density curve for the distribution
$\mathsf{Chisq}(df = 2).$ The vertical black line shows the observed
value of the test statistic. The vertical broken red line shows the
critical value. The area under the curve to the right of the black line is the P-value 0.064; the area to the right of the critical value 5.99 is 0.05.

People with anxiety show fundamental differences in perception
by Cell Press
People with anxiety fundamentally perceive the world differently, according to a study reported in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on March 3. They aren't simply making the choice to "play it safe."
The new study shows that people diagnosed with anxiety are less able to distinguish between a neutral, "safe" stimulus (in this case, the sound of a tone) and one that was earlier associated with the threat of money loss or gain. In other words, when it comes to emotional experiences, they show a behavioral phenomenon known as over-generalization, the researchers say.
"We show that in patients with anxiety, emotional experience induces plasticity in brain circuits that lasts after the experience is over," says Rony Paz of Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. "Such plastic changes occur in primary circuits that later mediate the response to new stimuli, resulting in an inability to discriminate between the originally experienced stimulus and a new similar stimulus. Therefore, anxiety patients respond emotionally to such new stimuli as well, resulting in anxiety even in apparently irrelevant new situations. Importantly, they cannot control this, as it is a perceptual inability to discriminate."
In the study, Paz and his colleagues trained people with anxiety to associate three distinct tones with one of three outcomes: money loss, money gain, or no consequence. In the next phase, study participants were presented with one of 15 tones and were asked whether they'd heard the tone before in training or not. If they were right, they were rewarded with money.
The best strategy was not to mistake (or over-generalize) a new tone for one they'd heard in the training phase. But the researchers found that people with anxiety were more likely than healthy controls to think that a new tone was actually one of the tones they'd heard earlier. That is, they were more likely to mistakenly associate a new tone with money loss or gain. Those differences weren't explained by differences in participants' hearing or learning abilities. They simply perceived the sounds that were earlier linked to an emotional experience differently.
Functional magnetic resonance images (fMRIs) of the brains of people with anxiety versus healthy controls showed differences in brain responses, too. Those differences were mainly found in the amygdala, a brain region related to fear and anxiety, and also in primary sensory regions of the brain. These results strengthen the idea that emotional experiences induce changes in sensory representations in anxiety patients' brains.
The findings might help to explain why some people are more prone to anxiety than others, although the underlying brain plasticity that leads to anxiety isn't in itself "bad," Paz says.
"Anxiety traits can be completely normal, and even beneficial evolutionarily. Yet an emotional event, even minor sometimes, can induce brain changes that might lead to full-blown anxiety," he says.

Researchers using genetic engineering developed a mouse model that resisted weight gain and arterial disease, even when fed a high-fat diet. The study demonstrated that deficiency in a specific transcription factor, USF1, appears to protect against obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease.
USF1, or upstream stimulatory factor 1, is a transcription factor known to affect triglycerides and cholesterol levels, having previously been linked to familial combined hyperlipidemia, a disease that increases blood fats and can cause early heart attacks and coronary artery disease in humans. The factor's influence on cardiovascular and metabolic health, however, has not been studied.
Researchers investigated whether the gene and its deletion had a beneficial or detrimental effect on cardiometabolic health. Using mice as animal models, the researchers eliminated the USF1 gene and observed that these mice showed a blood lipid profile favorable to their overall heart health, with low levels of triglycerides, and high levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ("good cholesterol").
The study, "USF1 deficiency activates brown adipose tissue and improves cardiometabolic health," was published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
Importantly, the scientists observed that, even on a high-fat diet, mice with USF1 gene deletion remained lean, while normal mice on the same diet nearly doubled their weight. After ruling out possible explanations, such as decreased food consumption, differences in nutrient absorption or increased physical activity, the researchers discovered that the mice had increased metabolic rates due to brown fat, whose activity was higher in mice lacking the gene.
Brown adipose tissue burns fat to generate heat and maintain the body's normal temperature. In the study, even at normal temperatures, the brown fat of mice lacking USF1 was active, burning fat and sugar, and causing the mice to not gain weight even at high caloric intake. It also cleared fat and sugar from circulation, protecting arteries from vascular disease. Moreover, researchers observed that these mice had one-fourth fewer artery plaques compared to normal mice.
Interestingly, the researchers also analyzed population samples in Finland and found that individuals carrying gene variants that reduced the expression of USF1 demonstrated better cardiac and metabolic profiles, improved insulin sensitivity, and reduced atherosclerosis. Researchers believe that USF1 is a promising potential therapeutic target for metabolic and cardiovascular disease.

Good IT professionals know technology. Great IT professionals also know communications. I'm not referring to TCP/IP protocols, but rather to the person's ability to discuss IT concepts with both technologists and with non-techies. Strong communication skills are critical for IT professionals, yet they are rarely emphasized in IT training or education programs.
Empathy is key. What is important to your listener? Frame the conversation from his or her perspective.
Watch out for tech jargon. Terms and acronyms that are second-nature to you, might be foreign to the other person.
Be careful not to sound superior when discussing topics in which you think you're better informed.
If one or two email messages don't explain your perspective, switch to phone or in-person communications.
Use email to prepare the person for a meeting or a phone conversation.
Don't respond in the heat of the moment. Let your emotions cool off before hitting the Send button or picking up the phone.
Find the best timing for the conversation: some people are grumpy in the mornings, sleepy after lunch and in a hurry at 5pm.
If the person doesn't respond to your first email or voice message, don't take it personally. Follow up.
Conclude the conversation by agreeing on the next steps, who will do what and what the due dates are.

We have had since new and have had no problems at all..
I have cleaned the carby and it still runs the same.
Any feedback/help to point me in right direction will be appreciated as im stuck.
Check for an vacuum leak between carb and head. Oil level correct? Rag in airbox?
When did this occure? Was it being ridden at the time? Was it on first start up (after storage or maintenance)?
What colour is the smoke and does it have an odour?
Does it run ok with throttle?
i have not thought of vacuum leaks.
It had sat for 1 month and did it on start up so did not ride.
White smoke?? Does it smell? Could be steam from water in the exhaust. Was it washed just before being stored?
Runs with choke but dies without sounds like a vacuum leak. Spray around the inlet manifold and carb with crc / wd40 while the engines running. Any change in running indicated a leak. If you can't find one it wouldn't hurt to try fresh fuel, check that the fuel cap breather hose and vent is clear and check carb vent hoses are clear.


We All make Choices – But What Are The Consequences?
Life is about a lot of things, depending on each individual, but it breaks down to choices at its most basic level. Each day we are faced with choices. Sometimes we face the same choices each day. Making some choices are not like a one size fits all thing. Let's say you've made the choice to lose weight.Every day you will be faced with choices that will either keep you on track with that choice or lead you away from that choice. Will you choose to have fruit instead of a decadent dessert? Will you choose vegetables instead of pasta laden with sauces? Will you choose to exercise or skip it?
Let's say you make the better choices today. That's great, but you need to realize that you will be faced with the same kinds of choices each day. Some days you may not make the better choice. But being aware that you will have to continue making daily choices can help your resolve and help you get throught the moment of decision.
Be aware that things will pop up each day and often throughout the day. Be prepared ahead of time to make the better choice.
It doesn't matter what you want to change in your life, you will be facing many choices on the road to your goals.
If you sleep late, put off working on a project, grab a donut or flop in front of the TV instead of doing something productive, remember you made those choices. Habits can be hard to break, but it's ultimately you who decides in each situation which choice you're going to make. It's you who decides whether or not you will make a choice that leads you closer to your goals or farther away from your goals.
Peer pressure can also lead you to making bad choices. We tend to think of peer pressure being exclusive to teenagers, but the truth is we are all subject to peer pressure. How many times have you gone on a diet and as soon as you get together with friends they try to coax you into having dessert? They tell you to live it up a little, you can get back on your diet tomorrow. It's in those moments when we usually cave in and have the dessert. Even though it was your friends who lead you to the wrong choice in that moment, it's still your responsibility to own up to the fact that you made the choice.
Start thinking more about the choices you make. Make the decision to make better choices each day. Also realize that sometimes things will pop up that you aren't prepared for. But if you make a conscious effort to always be aware of the choices you make, you can stick to making better choices, despite peer pressure or what's going on in your life.

When most people decide to sell diamond engagement rings, they often go to either a jeweler or a pawnshop. While these places can certainly pay you money for your diamond ring, it's not the best choice if you're looking to get the most profit out of the sale. Most pawnshops buy jewelry at a much lower price than they're actually worth so it's not a practical place to sell a piece of jewelry as special as a diamond engagement ring.
If you're planning to sell your diamond engagement ring, we highly suggest you try selling it online to a diamond buyer. It's not only the most convenient option these days but since you'll have access to a variety of sellers from top diamond capitals like New York, you can get a much better price for your precious jewelry. Plus, it's also very discreet and you won't even have to meet the buyer face to face. You can get instant appraisals and instant payment processing right after you have approved the final price.
If you have experience buying diamond jewelry, then you're probably familiar with the 4 Cs of a diamond: Cut Grade (based on proportions, brightness, and the amount of sparkle), Color (how colorless it is), Clarity (how flawless it is), and Carat (weight).
These factors, among other things, play an important role in determining the value of a diamond.
These four Cs however are only used for determining the value of the stone not the metal used for the setting. Aside from knowing how valuable a diamond is, you should also take note of the metal used for your diamond engagement ring. Platinum engagement rings are more expensive than gold engagement rings. If you have a gold ring, you should also know its value in karats or its purity. Most gold diamond engagement rings are set in 14k or 18k gold.
If your diamond engagement ring comes with a certificate like a GIA Certificate, you'd be able to get a much more approximate amount when asking for a quick quote from a diamond buyer online.
Most online diamond buyers offer quick appraisals or instant quotations. A good way to go about selling your ring is to ask for a quote from several online buyers. You can also go to a pawnshop or a jeweler just to get a price estimate for your ring. Getting several quotations will give you a general idea of how much you can actually sell your ring.
Online diamond buyers have more expertise when it comes to diamond valuation so they are able to offer more competitive prices than pawnshops. Since they operate primarily online, they are able to offer more money, as they don't have to pay for overhead costs of owning a physical location.
Make sure to choose an online diamond buyer that has shipping insurance especially since you are exporting a valuable piece of jewelry. Aside from the ensuring that there is insurance coverage, you should also make sure that their maximum coverage can cover the value of your engagement ring. Different online diamond buyers offer varying maximum insurance coverage for shipment of goods.
Once you've decided on an online buyer, request for a pack so you can send in your diamond engagement ring. Most online diamond buyers offer a prepaid package so you can send in your goods at no charge. While they can offer you an initial valuation based on the details you provide about your ring, they will need to physically appraise your diamond engagement ring to be able to provide an exact price amount.
After receiving your diamond ring, the online diamond buyer of your choice will give you a final valuation and their offer price for your diamond ring. If you choose to accept, then they will send your payment right away. However, if you are not satisfied with the price they offer, you can reject the offer and wait for your diamond engagement ring to be sent back to you.


Christine Butcher is a perfect secretary. When she is offered a position to work for Mina Appleton, a high powered executive of a supermarket chain and a television celebrity, she knows she has found the perfect job. Christine knows that discretion, accuracy and a bit of mind reading are essential in her job and she performs her job very well. Her job is her life. There comes a time when the job is the only thing in her life because her job it seems has taken over her every waking minute. Christine is completely loyal to Mina, but is it a two way street?
I thought this would be a very different book. The blurbs I read talked about obsession and yes, Christine is obsessed with being the perfect secretary. She lives and breathes her work but there is nothing sinister in it. I only saw her life as sad giving her life up for a woman I felt was unworthy of her admiration and devotion.

NANCY REDMAN AT HER WIT'S END
Nancy Redman
Saturday October 19 at 2 PM
Theatre Row, 410 West 42nd Street, Solo Theater Festival 2019
Directed by Bill Cosgriff
Reviewed by Jane Goldberg
This is the first time I've seen Nancy Redman, a stand-up comic and actress, although she did a great deal of her show sitting down. The actress is as gifted as the comic. Within minutes, it was clear that she was in charge. Her delivery, full of digressions and neurotic hesitations reminiscent of Jackie Mason (for whom she used to regularly open), was oddly commanding at the same time. Her premise? We were all patients on the 4th floor of a nursing home for retired comics and she was one of us, not just a performer. She'd been asked to headline a roast, but then the comic died. So instead she was going to do a memorial/roast. This was the McGuffin that launched dozens of jokes in a show that lasted just over an hour. She never delivered the roast or the memorial. Instead, she kept us waiting for it as she treated us to a treasure-chest of original, timeless humor. All the while, she let us in on the failings, losses and assorted ailments of her persona, so convincingly, that I left the theater wondering whether she really suffered from tinnitus and had trouble walking.
How did she do this? She called on invisible figures in the room, people she seemed to know very well— a social worker, a nurse, fellow retired comedians, her dead mother and ex-lovers— subtly swelling the audience for her strikingly original jokes. We, the visible, filled the small venue with laughter that erupted throughout the performance.
I grew up with a father who told jokes incessantly, so I've long had a squeamishness about oral joke tellers, afraid of repetition like my father's, but Nancy Redman never repeated herself. She kept surpassing herself. Starting with a narrative premise, she fleshed out her back story as she let us into this world she was creating, and then did something most unusual: She gave us the punchlines first, and then asked us to imagine the stories that set them up. Her clever mind works in such mysterious, original ways, that this proved near impossible.
Her vehicle was to summon the imaginary, retired stand ups in the audience, calling on them by name, cajoling them with indulgent, encouraging familiarity, until she got them to deliver, from memory, the set-up of each timeless joke. Of course, it was Nancy herself who delivered, in a variety of voices and accents, male and female. Afterwards, she would deconstruct the joke, explaining why it worked. This was a joke in itself because the explanation was always the same, no matter what the joke. The protagonist of the joke was "right," the ridiculous punch line uttered in all sincerity.
My favorite story was about a baby polar bear who felt like a misfit. He kept asking his mother and father if he were "100% polar bear" because he didn't believe it. Finally, in exasperation, his father asked him why he couldn't stop badgering them about this. "Because I'm f— ing freezing!" And the baby polar bear, of course, is right. We all feel illegitimate, in some sense. There is truth in humor.
There was another good joke about St. Peter taking a two-week vacation from Heaven, but I won't give that one away. Her punchline to each punchline was always the same: "What can we learn from this?" This question was always received with raucous laughter from the audience, especially after her raunchiest jokes. I liked the way Ms. Redman shared her process, teaching us what makes comedy work.
She was hilarious recounting her comic "history" with impeccable timing, the old days when her stage name was said to be Helen Hall (bearing no resemblance to her long, Jewish birth name, full of consonants) and she performed with Nichols and May. Hall was the first to see, early on, that Nichols and May and Hall wouldn't cut it. She was the luminary who realized that they'd be better off as a duo, reluctant as they were to see it for themselves. Likewise, she took credit for Burns and Allen and some solo acts. Redman's stories and jokes, preposterous and hilarious, ended with the same question, "What can we learn from this?" Then she would proceed to tell us. Redman was right: Nichols and May, Burns and Allen, became legendary.
These riffs were buttressed with projections of photos and footage of Ms. Redman as a younger comic. One of her funniest bits was an audience favorite on "OPRAH's Funniest Viewers" where, as the survivor of a heart transplant from a pig, she struggles to get her words out while incessantly oinking.
Nancy is such a consummate actress that it was hard to know whether she really needed the cane she used. Probably not. When she led us in a sitting dance class, she had some impressive moves, which she could do standing up and leaning on a cane as well. Her sit-down stand-up was always clever and engaging. We were encouraged to participate from our chairs, gyrating and waving our arms.
What did we learn from this stellar piece of comedy/theater? Old comedians don't fade away. They tell great jokes and make people laugh, no matter where— on Theatre Row, OPRAH, or in a nursing home.

Four PIO teens win top US prize for young heroes
NEW YORK: Four Indian-American teenagers have received the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes for making a positive difference in people's lives, communities, and the environment.
The winners include Karina Samuel, 17, from Florida; Karun Kaushik, 17, from California; Laalitya Acharya, 18, from Ohio; and Sri Nihal Tammana, 13, from New Jersey.
Established in 2001 by author T.A.Barron, the Barron Prize is a non-profit organisation annually honouring 25 outstanding young leaders from ages 8 to 18. The award celebrates inspiring, public-spirited young people from diverse backgrounds all across North America.
Every year, 15 top winners are each awarded $10,000 to support their service work or higher education.
Karina Samuel was honoured for founding the Florida chapter of Bye Bye Plastic Bags (BBPB), a student-led non-profit committed to reducing the amount of plastic on the planet. In the past three years, she has mobilised more than 1,000 volunteers to join over 175 coastal cleanups across the state.
Karun Kaushik has created X-Check-MD, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) software that can diagnose Covid-19 and pneumonia with 99 per cent accuracy in under one minute.
Laalitya Acharya has invented Nereid – a low-cost, globally applicable device that can detect water contamination within seconds. Her system uses Artificial Intelligence and can be placed directly into water pipes to detect microbial water contamination at low concentrations before it spreads.
Nihal Tammana's non-profit, Recycle My Battery, installs free battery recycling bins and educates young people and adults about battery recycling. In just three years he has built a team of 220 student volunteers across the globe who have recycled nearly 200,000 batteries and educated millions of people.
Since its inception, the Barron Prize has awarded more than half a million dollars to hundreds of young leaders and has won the support of the National Geographic Education Foundation, Girl Scouts of the USA, and the National Youth Leadership Council, among other organisations.

Hidden Figures, Visible Baiting: The game of imitation in Hollywood biopics.
by mav • January 14, 2017 • 8 Comments
(Some minor spoilers in this review. But not much really. After all, it is a historic biopic… and just so you know… John Glenn did make it into space.)
So Steph and I went and saw Hidden Figures yesterday. I had really been looking forward to it. In fact, I maybe made the mistake that I always try to avoid when going to see a movie. Usually I try to go in with no expectations. I don't want to be disappointed by something not living up to the hype and I don't want to be tricked into thinking I liked something just because it wasn't as awful as initial reviews or trailers led me to believe it was. That was pretty hard with Hidden Figures. When I first saw the trailer my initial thought was "well, that's Oscarbait" (this isn't a problem. I actually frequently like Oscarbait movies). Then, over the last week with the critical and popular acclaim that has been impossible to ignore I started thinking "wow… I guess the Oscar baiting is working." It was impossible to ignore.
But I tried my best.
I'm glad I did. As I was sitting down to watch the movie I thought to myself "this is going to be amazing!!!" And then I caught myself and said "no, wait… don't do that. Watch this and enjoy it for what it is. And it's a good thing I did that, because otherwise I probably would have been really disappointed.
Instead, what I saw a pretty good movie.
It was by no means a perfect movie. I'm not even sure that it as a *great* movie per se. But it was pretty good. Above average. Enjoyable all the way through.
One really good way to bait the Oscars is to make a socially relevant biopic. There's two aspects that go into this. First of all, the Academy loves a biopic. And there's good reasons for this. There's something of a challenge to presenting the life of a real person. Real people are complex. And when a writer, and actor, a director and everyone else on set can combine to present the audience with a view into a character that is very tangible and very real, that is an accomplishment and it should be celebrated. I love a good superhero movie, and Robert Downey Jr. should certainly be celebrated for bringing as much complexity and depth to the character of Ironman as he has — far more than needs to be there for those films to make money. However, Ironman will never be as complex and nuanced as Katherine Johnson was in this movie because Katherine Johnson is a real life, complex and interesting human being and Taraji P. Henson did an amazing job of de-Cookyfying herself to make the character of Johnson real, relatable and engaging.
The other half of that equation is the social relevance. And that's where the movie really shined. Diversity, multiculturalism, people of color, feminism. Basically the entire "social justice warrior" culture. These are big buzz words and that means big business. Hollywood, especially the Academy, likes to feel good about itself when it feels like it's doing something positive and making a difference, an nothing does that like telling the story of heretofore undiscovered minority women who were the secret backbone of one of America's proudest and most inspiring moments. Yay us for being progressive. Something like that. And this is an important thing. Being able to spoonfeed history dressed up as entertainment is good.
But beyond the need for simply presenting a lesson on the historical significance of the civil rights movement of the sixties. The film seems to be a direct attempt to address the controversy of Hollywood not offering meaty enough roles for minorities, and particularly women of color in order to warrant recognition at the Academy Awards. Or, as it is often summed up, #OscarsSoWhite! This is a clear attempt to address that. By shining a light on the accomplishments of black women in a time in the past where they were essential to the success of the country but invisible, the film attempts to make a statement about their similar invisibility in the media today. You can almost feel the movie saying "look, black women! Black women right here! You looking for black women? We got your black women!"
And that's not exactly a complaint. They did a good job with it. Henson is really good and does an amazing job of presenting a the character of a black woman in 1961 who must walk the line between showcasing her own brilliance while not overstepping her bounds as an impoversihed member of the society of which she is a part of. There were even some parts while watching where Steph leaned over to me and mentioned that she was surprised that this or that aspect of racism existed at a place like NASA in that time period. So yay! Learning is good! Octavia Spencer, who plays Dorothy Vaughan, similarly shines. Though in her case, this is maybe less surprising, given that she's already received an Oscar for playing a similar character in The Help. If anything, I'd worry that she's going to start getting typecast. And perhaps she already is. I feel like producers are starting to say "we want to make a socially conscious movie about the civil rights movement. We need to feature a sassy but respectable black woman. Someone get Octavia Spencer on the line!" Even better, at least for me, was the third lead, Janelle Monáe as Mary Jackson. She did an amazing job. Despite being the C-storyline and having the least to do o the three principle actresses, she was amazingly believable and worked to earn the audience's respect for every second she was on the screen. She was phenomenal. The main cast is rounded out by three white actors. Kevin Costner as a gruff boss who really doesn't understand the inherent racism in the system, but when it is brought to his attention will serve as an ally of sorts because "lets move past this petty shit so that everyone can get to work, goddammit!!!" and Jim Parsons and Kirsten Dunst whose jobs are to be living embodiment of white privilege leading to casual systemic racism, a function that Spencer's Vaughan has the pleasure of directly pointing out, just in case the audience doesn't realize it… "Yes, I get that you're not trying to be racist. But just so you know… by adhering to the racist status quo, you totally are. HTH!" They really don't have much to do. Dunst plays "generic white lady from the sixties." Parson's pretty much plays exactly his Sheldon Cooper character minus the comedy. They're good at it. But they're as much stereotypes in this film as the token black characters would be in any other Hollywood biopic.
But the things that make it good are also part of the failings of it. First of all, it's just very clean and neat. Hollywood loves a happy ending. It's easier to send an audience home happy than sad. Costner's character in particular has a moment where he becomes so offended up Henson's Johnson having to go across campus to use the negro bathroom that he he takes a crowbar to the bathroom sign and singlehandedly ends bathroom segregation at NASA with a few swoops of the mighty white hand of God. So, at the end of the film, it just kind of feels like "yay! NASA solved racism!" and by extension Hollywood is saying "and we made this movie about black women so we're totally not racist anymore either! Yay!" It's all very neat and tidy and clean and wrapped up in a pretty little bow. Look, these three great women went on to have great careers and are important and honored and everything is awesome!!! And while that's nice and all, its obviously not really true on either account, which is kind of why this movie needed to exist in the first place. It feels a tad to celebratory.
Secondly, the film has the failing of many biopics. Namely, real life just isn't very interesting a lot of the time. Certainly not as interesting as the movies. And since movies are about tension and drama, that needed to be fixed. At the end of the day, for all of her cultural significance, Katherine Johnson's actual job was "doing math." She was really good at this job, by all accounts better digital computers of the time (in real life as well as in the film). But her job was still to sit down and do math, and that's just not visually compelling to watch on screen. In fact, its boring enough that there really wasn't enough to make a whole film out of just her doing math, which is what necessitates adding Vaughan and Jackson's stories into the mix. Vaughan's B-story at least kind of dovetails into the main storyline, as her struggle to gain recognition for the West Area Computing Unit (the segregated group of African American female mathematicians at NASA that the women were members of) does seem to affect the Friendship 7 mission launch and Vaughan's promotion to supervisorship of the unit does ultimately allow the Project Mercury missions to take place. The problem with this is that it is historically inaccurate. The West Area Computers never existed at NASA. They were actually part of the NACA (NASA's predecessor) and were disbanded and integrated into the rest of the NASA workforce when the organization restructured in 1958, three years before the film. The struggle and drama that Vaughan goes through in the movie therefore actually predates Johnson's struggle by several years.
Similarly, Jackson's struggle to become NASA's first official black female engineer also occurred years earlier and was completed by the time she was actually working in the wind tunnel for the Friendship 7 module. This leads to one of the most problematic aspects of the film for me. While Jackson's C-story of trying to gain an education so that she can be an engineer was, for me, the most compelling part of the film, the pacing of the ilm makes it ultimately meaningless. Since she achieves her goals at the end of the movie, coincident with Johnson and Vaughan achieving theirs, it is ultimately meaningless to the overall plot line. Friendship-7 had launched and the film was over. So whereas in real life, Jackson being an engineer probably was essential to the survival of John Glenn and the mission, in the movie universe, it doesn't actually matter whether she's an engineer or not since she didn't become one until after the climax of the film had been resolved. This was something that I noticed while I was watching the film, even though I didn't yet know the actual timeline of the real life Jackson (I researched it later). It felt like "Wow, this most interesting person in the movie is actually completely inconsequential. Well that sucks." However, at the very least, it got me to do some research on Mary Jackson, and that's a good thing.
Merging Jackson and Vaughan with Johnson's plot line appears to have been a step to both add more diversity to Hollywood ("you wanted roles for black actresses? Well, hey we could have just given you one. But we gave you three! Please love us! Wait, what do you mean you'd rather they be spread out into multiple movies? Stop being greedy!") and also to distract from the fact that Johnson in and of herself doesn't actually do anything that gives much tension for the viewer to cling to. As I said before, she's basically just doing math. Math is boring. It is super important — the film reminds us on several occasions that the math is essential to the survival of the mission — but it is boring to watch. In order to add drama and a sense of stakes as the film reaches the third act, it is necessary to create a situation where we seen Henson as Johnson basically trying to "math faster" and then running the calculations she's just completed across the NASA campus as John Glenn is entering the rocket because Glenn refuses to launch without them. Of course if you stop to think about it, you realize that this isn't actual drama because Glenn simply would have said no. That's exactly what he said he would do. The actual drama of the Friendship-7 mission were the difficulties that it achieve in flight which caused it to abort its mission after the third orbit (it was scheduled for seven) but once that occurred it was too late for new math to be done. They just had to trust what they had. So the climax of the film sort of necessarily involves all the principle characters just kind of watching to see if all of their hard work actually paid off or if it was a complete failure. Having worked in the tech industry… well, that's pretty much exactly what it's like. You watch the product launch and you sit there and you say "please don't blow up! Please don't blow up!" over and over again. And it either does or it doesn't. But the camera watches the guy actually demoing the product. Not all of the engineers and designers who worked on it standing around biting their fingernails, because… well, that shit is boring.
The movie does similar tricks to try and flesh it out by delving into Johnson's personal life and showing the development of her relationship and eventual marriage to her second husband (which in real life also occurred two years before the movie actually begins) and to a lesser extent familial and marital relationships of Vaughan and Jackson. While this does humanize the characters a bit, it does prove inconsequential to the plot. Unlike The Imitation Game, which is in effect the same basic story (mathematician secretly helps to save the world), the personal life of Johnson never really directly plays into the events of the film (not surprising because in real life it happened earlier), so it seems ind of artificially added on. As a viewer, I am left wondering if the film had about white men trying to save the space program would the domestic life of the characters been downplayed altogether? (Hint: The answer is yes, and that movie is called Apollo 13.) As is, even though the domestic life of the characters is somewhat interesting it never really goes anywhere. The lesson appears to be "oh, and just so you know… women who worked at NASA in the 1960s were married." Much like the five minute scene of characters watching while John Glenn (the single character in the film with the most to actually gain or lose, and therefore the focal point of the tension despite being a minor part of the narrative) this ultimately becomes filler so that there's enough minutes to fill screen time.
So in the end, it's a good movie. I enjoyed watching it, and I think other people should see it. But in reality, it is very much an aspect of this time. It is a response to the complaint of the last two years that the opportunities for the roles that Hollywood is currently celebrating (biopics for intellectual historic figures like The Imitation Game) weren't available to black actresses. And so the response was to give the viewers EXACTLY that. A biopic of historical intellectual figures like The Imitation Game but this time with black actresses. It's watchable. It's engaging and it makes for an interesting bit of introspection as to the way the current cultural moment that the film was produced in compares to the context of the era it is portraying. But ultimately it won't have the rewatchability that it is going for. It won't go down as a Hollywood classic. It should get a couple nominations, and yay, there might be some black people in the crowd at the Academy Awards this year, but as good as Henson, Spencer and Monáe are, the Oscars will probably remain SoWhite. Hopefully, it's at least a step in the right direction and not an excuse to just not try to do another film like this for another decade.
★★★½☆ (3.5 out of 5 stars).

Some random thoughts: (Spoiler alert!)
(a) I found it amusing that everyone referred to the new computer as "the IBM." I wondered if they actually did.
(b) I think there's some merit to showing the personal lives of the women in this film vis-a-vis the personal lives of the male stars of Apollo 13. Because of the greater obstacles the women encountered, I thought it was important to show us that they were supported by their spouses (which is pretty much assumed to be true of male achievers in cinema). I think what they did would not have been possible if their spouses were not supportive.
(c) (biggest spoiler alert!) so, at the end, in re-entry, the capsule starts to burn up, and Glenn complains that it's getting hot in here….then he disappears from the radar and communications. A minute or so later, everything is ok. the capsule isn't on fire anymore (despite being in a denser atmosphere) and, of course, Glenn is ok. How realistic is this??
Chris Maverick on Facebook
a) probably very realistic. Though I don't know for sure. Brand names are often substituted for items (Kleenex instead of tissue, Coke instead of soda pop) and at that historic moment, IBM would have been the only "digital computer" that any of those people had ever seen.
b) And that's certainly fair. And I don't think it was "bad" per se. I think you are right. There's certainly a different cultural expectation to being a woman (in 2017 or 1961) and attention to domesticity is a part of that. But I'd be bad at reviewing if I didn't point it out. And in this particular case, I wish that the integration of the domestic life with occupational life had gone somewhere instead of jus being used to say "ok, so these are human women!"
c) very realistic. In fact, it happens pretty much exactly like that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_entry
more c) here's some video of what it looks like from the inside: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6c3gTq6Zb4

Dear lord I hated The Imitation Game. Why did you have to remind me of it? I am astounded it got nominations, but as you say, the Academy loves biopics, especially gay ones, as well as WWII. (And I love all the actors, and kind of worship Turing; I hated the… directing I guess? The writing?)
I liked Imitation Game just fine. Didn't love it. But i did like it. And given where the academy is right now, I was not at all surprised at it's reception.
People get upset at how the Oscars work out because they don't really understand them. The Oscars aren't about public perception of a film, that's the people's choice awards. They're a peer recognition award. So they typically stand to show what art epitomizes the cultural direction of the industry at that particular moment.
Which is why movies-about-movie-making are the true Oscarbait (I'm looking at you, The Artists and Birdman!)
I actually like Birdman a whole lot

Behnaz Sarafpour set out to capture an "artificial beauty" with her latest collection, which focused on technique and technology. One of her goals this season was "to make Fall as lightweight as possible." Sarafpour experimented with high-performance athletic materials, including an unlined neoprene, which was cut into structured pieces like a boxy jacket and a flared skirt with transparent plastic trim peeking out at the hemline. Instead of doing a standard shearling coat, the designer worked with an ultra-soft, piled velvet that gave the impression of fur without all the bulk. The chunky sweaters interwoven with grosgrain ribbons and lovely frocks featuring wavy strips of raw-edged chiffon added a three-dimensionality to the lineup that kept the overall look intelligent but still natural.
