Clara Landsberg (1873 – April 10, 1966) was an American educator. She was the leader of the adult education programme at Hull House, and was a close collaborator of Nobel laureate Jane Addams. She later taught at Bryn Mawr School with her lifelong friend Margaret Hamilton.
Clara Landsberg was born in 1873, the daughter of Max Landsberg, a German-American Reform rabbi from Rochester, New York, and Miriam Isengarten, a good friend of Susan B. Anthony.[1][2][3]
She was one of the first graduates of Bryn Mawr College,[4] where she was a classmate and friend of Margaret Hamilton.[1] She attended the Sorbonne as a student of German in the winter 1898-1899, while Margaret Hamilton studied Biology and Norah Hamilton Art).[5] Landsberg was to become Margaret Hamilton's lifetime companion.[1][6]
After the Sorbonne, while Hamilton was a student at Johns Hopkins University, Landsberg became the Reference Librarian at the Reynolds' Library, Rochester, New York.[5]
In 1899 Clara Landsberg became a resident at Hull House, where she was in charge of the adult education (evening school) programs from 1900 to 1920,[7] and shared a room with Alice Hamilton.[2][8] Landsberg and Ethel Dewey interviewed each new student, and each was carefully placed according to his attainments and later was graded upon reports made by the teachers.[9] For the most part of her time at Hull House, Landsberg taught German at the University School for Girls.[1] Hilda S. Polacheck, a Polish immigrant, was later to said about Landsberg: "She opened new vistas in reading for me. In her class we would be assigned a book, which we were to read during the week and then discuss the following session of the class. The class met once a week. I not only read the assigned books but every book I could borrow. Dickens, Scott, Thackeray, Louisa May Alcott, Victor Hugo, Alexander Dumas, and many others now become my friends. The daily monotony of making cuffs was eased by thinking of these books and looking forward to evenings at Hull House."[10]

In her 1912 Twenty Years at Hull-House with Autobiographical Notes, Jane Addams said she was grateful to Landsberg "for the making of the index and for many other services".[11]
In May 1914, Landsberg, together with Louise DeKoven Bowen, joined Addams and Mary Rozet Smith in Naples, and the four women travelled together to Sicily and Rome. Landsberg and Smith sailed back to the United States in June.[8] In 1933, together with Alice Hamilton, went on a trip to Germany to protest the discharge of Jewish doctors.[2][8][1]
Landsberg eventually left Hull House to teach Latin at Bryn Mawr School, where Edith Hamilton was headmistress. Margaret Hamilton also became a teacher at Bryn Mawr School, science, and took over as headmistress in 1933 before retiring in 1935.[1]
Alice Hamilton considered Clara Landsberg part of the Hamilton family, one remarked, "I could not think of a life in which Clara did not have a great part, she has become part of my life almost as if she were one of us."[1]
The Hamilton sisters, their mother, Edith's companion, Doris Fielding Reid, and Landsberg, spent their retirement years in Hadlyme, Connecticut, at the house they purchased in 1916.[12][1]
Landsberg died on April 10, 1966, and is buried with Margaret Hamilton at Cove Cemetery in Hadlyme, Connecticut, in the same cemetery as Hamilton's mother (Gertrude) and her sisters (Alice, Norah, and Edith), and Edith's life partner, Doris Fielding Reid.[13][4]
The Clara Landsberg papers consisting of correspondence addressed to Clara Landsberg are preserved at the Special Collections and University Archives, University of Illinois at Chicago.[2]

Rigid plastic boxes are an excellent way to store, protect, and display your product, but taking the time to find the right fit for your packaging needs will give you the best result. Determining the accurate size beforehand, for example, will prevent wasted time and poor fit of your product within.
What needs to be stored? In order to determine the right type of storage container, knowing the nature of the items to be stored is key. Are you trying to store perishable items that could get contaminated if they come in contact with air? Or are you looking to store items that require leak-proof packaging? Keeping the properties of your items in mind before ordering your packaging will help you make the right packaging choice.
Does the box need to be colored or transparent? Colorful boxes can help reinforce a brand theme or logo, making the package part of the allure. Clear plastic boxes, on the other hand, give the actual product the spotlight. Think about how your potential customer will interact with your packaging of choice. Is it simply to protect the item while it's being sold, or will the buyer potentially use it for storage or display after the purchase?
How much does your item weigh? This number could factor into the strength and durability you'll need from your rigid plastic box, as well as potential shipping weight for eCommerce stores.
Where will the box be stored? If it's made to be unpacked quickly, for example, small and shelf-ready plastic box designs are a good option. If it's destined to spend some time on warehouse shelves en route to distributors, you'll want a package that can offer structural integrity and stack neatly to avoid damage.
What kind of lid do you need? Plastic boxes are typically available in two varieties – hinged, which opens like a treasure chest, and friction fit, where the edges of the lid are smoothly seated inside the edges of the base. Depending on your use, display options, and storage arrangements, you can choose either.
Some additional considerations to keep in mind are how theft deterrent or tamper-resistant your overall packaging solution is, and how easy it is for your retail partners to display your box in the configuration you'd like them to. Your box selection says a great deal about your product at a glance, so use these questions to find the perfect "home" for your customer-facing product.
Need some help deciding what packaging is best for your product? Contact us for recommendations, orders, and assistance finding the perfect look and fit for your products.

Explaining Oscar's enigmatic ballot
Timothy Gray // Published January 8, 2008 in Variety Magazine
For those who have finally figured out how the Iowa Caucuses work, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences on Tuesday presented a new challenge: understanding Oscar ballots.
At a session for the media at the Acad's BevHills HQ, PricewaterhouseCoopers honchos Brad Oltmanns and Rick Rosas went through a step-by-step explanation of the complicated process, which is designed to make every voice heard (and ensure there are no ties in nominations).
The Acad is the only showbiz org that uses the preferential voting system, in which voters cast a nomination ballot with their top five choices.
The process is easy to follow for anyone with an advanced degree in accounting and a few hours to spare. For those who can't afford either, here's a simplified version.
The order in which you list your preferences is important. In the first round of ballot-counting, the PWC honchos go through all the first choices. If your first choice winds up with a nomination, your ballot is set aside -- thus ensuring that your voice was heard; now it's time to give the other voters a chance.
With ballots due Saturday at PricewaterhouseCoopers HQ, here are some other facts voters need to know:
A film or individual needs at least one first-place vote. If every single voter puts a film as his second choice, but nobody puts it first, it will not get a nomination.
This is not a "weighted ballot." Some systems give different points for different slots -- 10 points for first place, eight for second place, etc. -- but this isn't that system.
You may make five terrific choices in those five slots, but only one of them will be counted.
It doesn't help your candidate if you fill out only one line, or fill the same name/title in all five slots.
PWC accountants do not penalize you for spelling mistakes or bad penmanship. But if you offer confusing information -- voting for Meryl Streep in "The Queen," for example -- that vote is thrown out.
It takes about a dozen PWC accountants to tally up the nominations. Acad exec director Bruce Davis admitted with a laugh, "We use a system more complicated than anybody else's."
For more details on preferential voting, or "single transferable voting" as it's sometimes called, go to Variety.com/ballots and check out the Jan. 14, 2004 Daily Variety article "Oscar ballots made (sorta) easy."
After that, you may fully understand this. But probably not.

A space-saving wall, lectern, tabletop, or rack mount touch screen featuring a clean, contemporary appearance with edge-to-edge glass and advanced high-definition Smart Graphics® technology. Features onboard voice recognition, web browsing, H.264 streaming video, built-in camera, Rava® SIP Intercom, and PoE+ network power. Includes native applications for Crestron Fusion®, Microsoft®, Google®, Robin®, Teem®, Appspace® , Zoom™, and EMS Software™ room scheduling services, Zoom Rooms™ conferencing control, and Sonos® Home Sound System control.
With its clean, contemporary design highlighted by edge-to-edge glass and stunning color graphics, the Crestron TSW-760 series touch screen makes an elegant statement on any wall, tabletop, lectern, or equipment rack. Perfectly at home in the most contemporary residence or modern office building, its high-tech good looks underline its power for simplifying everyday tasks and functions throughout any facility.
The TSW-760 includes five backlit, soft-touch capacitive buttons for quick access to commonly used functions. These buttons are prelabeled with icons for "Power", "Home", "Lights", "Up", and "Down" functions. Each button is programmable via the control system for custom functionality, and any unused button can be hidden by simply turning off its backlight.
To ensure optimal visibility under varying lighting conditions, the TSW-760 includes a built-in light sensor, which regulates the brightness of the display and button backlighting according to the ambient light level in the room. Separate autobrightness settings are provided for the display and buttons to allow each to be adjusted or defeated as needed.
High-performance streaming video capability makes it possible to view security cameras and other video sources right on the touch screen. Native support for H.264 and MJPEG formats allows the TSW-760 to display live streaming video from an IP camera, a streaming encoder (Crestron CEN-NVS200, DM-TXRX-100-STR, or similar ), or a DigitalMedia™ switcher. Video is delivered to the touch screen over Ethernet, eliminating the need for any extra video wiring.
The TSW-760 comes with apps for all the most popular enterprise scheduling services.
The TSW-760 may be configured to run the Zoom Rooms app exclusively, or to allow toggling between the Zoom Rooms app and regular Smart Graphics touch screen control mode. The latter allows for integrating Zoom Rooms conferencing into a larger AV system while providing control for both through one touch screen device.
NOTE: Zoom Ultrasonic is supported up to an average of 3 feet (1 m) from the TSW-760 touch screen to an end user device. The range will vary based on environmental noise, the sensitivity of the end user device, and the orientation to the touch screen.
The TSW-760's capacitive touch screen affords enhanced capabilities for browsing web pages using multitouch gestures.
A simple Ethernet LAN connection is all that is required to wire the TSW-760, containing all control, video, intercom, and power signals within a single wire.
Using PoE technology, the TSW-760 gets its operating power right through the network cable. PoE (Power over Ethernet) eliminates the need for a local power supply or any dedicated power wiring. Crestron PoE switches (CEN-SW-POE-5 or CEN-SWPOE-16 ) offer a total networking solution with built-in PoE for multiple touch screens. A PoE Injector (PWE-4803RU ) is also available to support a single touch screen.
The TSW‑760 is compatible with the Crestron XiO Cloud™ service. Crestron XiO Cloud is Crestron's unifying IoT (Internet of Things) based platform for remotely provisioning, monitoring, and managing Crestron devices across an enterprise or an entire client base. Crestron XiO Cloud enables installers and IT managers to deploy and manage thousands of devices in the amount of time it would ordinarily take to manage just one. For more information about Crestron XiO Cloud, please visit www.crestron.com/xiocloud .
The TSW-760 may be used to control a Crestron Pyng® OS whole home solution. After a TSW-760 is added to a room in Crestron Pyng, a home control project is loaded directly to the touch screen. From there, the TSW-760 allows for control over lighting, shades, climate, media, security, and cameras, including the ability to create and recall scenes that create a desired ambiance within certain rooms or for the entire home. A TSW-760 may be installed in each room in the home to provide easy access to the room's environmental and media subsystems.
The TSW-760 may be integrated with a 2N® door station  via the touch screen's built-in Rava® SIP intercom to provide a door station solution for Crestron Pyng. When a call is initiated on the 2N door station, the video and audio feed is displayed on the TSW-760. Controls are provided on the touch screen to answer or decline the call, and Crestron Pyng quick actions (such as "Open Gate") may be performed while the call is in progress. A "do not disturb" option is also provided in Crestron Pyng to prevent calls from appearing on the TSW-760.
Using the bracket provided, the TSW-760 is easily installed over a 2-gang or 3-gang US electrical box, or a 2-gang European or UK electrical box. The same bracket allows for installation in a wooden lectern or podium over a rectangular cutout. When installed, the touch screen protrudes just 1/2 inch from the mounting surface and latches firmly into its mounting bracket leaving no visible screws for an ultra clean appearance. A security latch option is included to deter unauthorized removal of the touch screen.
The TS‑7‑MSMK  allows a TSW‑760 touch screen to be mounted directly to glass, granite, marble, wood paneling, plaster, smooth masonry, or virtually any other flat surface, which is ideal for mounting at the entrance to a meeting space for room scheduling applications. The TSW‑760/1060‑MSMK  provides a similar surface mounting solution that can also be mounted over a conventional electrical box. When installed using the TSW‑760/1060‑MSMK, the touch screen is angled upwards at a 20° tilt.
When installing the TSW-760 in place of an older Crestron touch screen (APAD, CT-1000, LC-1000, TPS-4L, or TPS-2000L), Crestron offers Retrofit Mounting Brackets (TSW-60-RMB series ), which facilitate replacement without having to tear out the old mounting hardware or patch the wall.
Using the optional Tabletop Kit (TSW-760-TTK ), the TSW-760 becomes a stylish, freestanding touch screen that fits perfectly on a table, desk, or countertop. It can even be permanently attached to the surface using the optional swivel mount kit (TSW-560/760/1060-SMK ).The TSW-760 can also be mounted in a 19 in. EIA equipment rack using the optional rack mount kit (TSW-560/760-RMK-1 ). When rack mounted, the touch screen occupies three rack spaces.
The camera, microphone, and Bluetooth transceiver may each be defeated programmatically at any time. For applications demanding an extra measure of privacy, Crestron offers models TSW-760-NC-B-S and TSW-760-NC-W-S, which have no physical camera, microphone, or Bluetooth transceiver installed.
Room Scheduling mode requires the TSW-760 to be designated exclusively for room scheduling use, which precludes use of certain features and functions described in this spec sheet. For design assistance, contact the Crestron True Blue support team at www.crestron.com/support.
Additional subscriptions and/or licenses may be required. Refer to each provider's website for details about the capabilities and requirements of its scheduling application and services. Third-party apps typically run on the TSW-760 as they do on a tablet device. The TSW-760 runs only one app, which is selected at setup. Only the apps approved and delivered by Crestron can run on the TSW-760.
The light bar and hallway sign accessories are sold separately. Only one light bar or hallway sign may be connected to the TSW-760. Use of either accessory precludes use of the other without the addition of a custom-programmed control system and Cresnet wiring for the hallway sign. Refer to the Accessories section for a list of all available options. Refer to each accessory's spec sheet for further information.
Onboard PinPoint beacon functionality is not currently supported and will be enabled through a future update. When enabled, the TSW-760 will provide an integrated, equivalent alternative to the standalone PP-100-W beacon. For more details, refer to the PP-100-W spec sheet. Bluetooth technology is used solely for proximity detection and does not transmit or receive any control, multimedia, or personal data. PinPoint beacons are only visible to Bluetooth enabled devices that are specifically programmed and configured to work with them.
The TSW-UMB-60, TSW-UMB-60-PMK, and TSW-UMB-60-BBI are all sold separately. The TSW-UMB-60 is also compatible with older TSW-UMB-PMK preconstruction mounting kits and TSW-550-BBI back boxes, allowing the TSW-760 touch screen to be installed in place of a previous generation TSW-5xx series touch screen, or any other device that was originally installed using a TSW-UMB-PMK or TSW-550-BBI, without modification to the wall. If replacing another older Crestron device, use the appropriate TSW-60-RMB series retrofit mounting bracket (sold separately).

bizhub C750i
Konica Minolta launches a new family member of its bizhub i-Series, the bizhub C750i. The A3 high-volume colour multi-functional peripherals (MFP) device C750i is designed to provide the functionality of a small-scale print shop, all combined into a single unit suitable for an office space. It fulfils the needs of customers who process high-volume print jobs such as small CRDs or small- and mid-size copy shops. It can also be used in office environments that require a high volume of printing such as a printing and copying device placed in a room or corridor, or as a printing device in a warehouse. This makes it ideal for a wide range of offices in government, legal, education and membership organisations or healthcare environments. The new device's absolute highlight is the intelligent media sensor.
The bizhub C750i is the successor of the bizhub C759/C659 devices and has a greater capability. The bizhub C750i offers a print speed of up to 75ppm in mono and 70ppm in colour. The high-capacity and high-speed dual-scan document feeder with double feed detection runs with a speed of up to 140/280ipm. This makes it ideal for handling larger scan volumes or digital archiving, for example at schools or legal offices. Furthermore, the bizhub C750i features large finishers with an integrated manual stapler and offers a quick copy mode to guarantee faster copying with fewer clicks and pop-ups, since all main settings are available at a glance. Additionally, the home screen customisation makes it quicker to add, rearrange or remove the icons.
Intelligent media sensor reduces paper jams and improves output quality
Office communication requires different print media. Good print quality can't be achieved unless the paper thickness is set correctly. Taking care of the paper settings entails additional work every time users want to print. The bizhub C750i offers an intelligent media sensor which instantly measures the paper type and thickness, for instance thin or thick paper, recycled paper or envelopes, and automatically adjusts the settings as needed. This feature ensures fewer paper jams, fewer service calls and a better output quality.
Embedded cybersecurity
As office documents become more digitised and the volumes of data increase, companies and institutions need centralised management and better access to documents for reference. They require more sophisticated integration with the cloud and advanced remote access, meaning more complex workflows and a need for better security. The bizhub C750i is equipped with the latest security technology to provide a reliably safe user environment. The optional Bitdefender's leading edge anti-virus solution can be added to the MFP's firmware and thus monitors all scanned files and documents transferred to and from it in real time. It also enables automatic virus scanning on hard drives as well as manual scans. With bizhub SECURE, different security levels and access licences can be set to ensure the security of office devices and protect device memory and network settings.
Remote usage and support
Like all other systems of the bizhub i-Series, the bizhub C750i can be operated remotely. It is therefore possible to operate these devices, which have been designed to be used by multiple employees, without the user ever having to even touch the control panel. This can be done, for example, by using computers, mobile telephones or tablets. Moreover, Konica Minolta offers fast and professional full support via a remote services tool.
Approaching the digital workplace with intelligent features
Businesses seek to become digital connected workplaces that bring together people, spaces and devices with data. The bizhub i-Series MFPs are smart IoT-enabled devices which are designed to pave the way to the "Intelligent Connected Workplace", and so the bizhub C750i also offers a fully digital workplace. The bizhub C750i combines printing with process efficiency to empower customers to organise, streamline and customise their printing landscape while providing the tools to digitise workflows. With an innovative and intuitive user experience and powerful built-in processing capabilities, the bizhub C750i is able to provide secure access to a suite of cloud-based services and applications via Konica Minolta's MarketPlace.

"Embers of War"
By McLaughlin, Kevin
Series Title: Starship Satori
It's been a few months since I was reading this series. It ended with the Earth in pretty big trouble from an alien species called the Naga. These creatures were an advanced war-fighting civilization that we first encountered in the starship Satori's initial ventures into space. We've seen some crew members of the Satori captured by the Naga, although in one instance, it turned out pretty well. Dan was the original pilot of the Satori while being confined to a wheelchair. During his capture by the Naga, he was subjected to some pretty intense torture as well as incredible pleasures. The device they used on him was also healing his broken spine to the point that he has now gained the complete use of his legs.
Dan is now the Captain of the Independence, the Earth's second starship after the Satori. It is a captured Naga battle-cruiser that has been heavily modified by humans. His ship is just now finishing readiness tests and appears to be ready for the mission. He soon gets one resulting from a surprising quantum call from Naga Command telling Gaurl, the former Naga vessel, Captain, to report on and head back to the home planet. Before replying, Dan contacts General Hereford and asks him what he should say in return. After consulting with the President, they tell Dan he should try and negotiate a peaceful approach to friendly relations with the Naga. They want him to offer to return the Naga battle-cruiser and the Naga prisoners they are holding. Dan doesn't think the "peaceful" approach is going to work because he knows the Naga only act from a position of strength. So he fashions his response in that manner. This results in his mission to the Naga homeworld to return the Naga prisoners, but not the warship.
In the meantime, the Satori, commanded by Beth, has been assigned their own mission. Now that Earth has been to deep space via the Satori, they've found that it's not a friendly environment. So, they feel that they must setup a colony somewhere to preserve humanity. With Earth not having much of a defense right now, one serious attack by the Naga, could wipeout all humanity. The Satori has been ordered to take a colony group plus all their equipment and land them on Dust! That is the original planet the Satori visited and found to be extremely hostile. It is a desert planet made that way by the Naga. The Naga had engineered a creature called the "ratzards" whose blood was just a viral as their bite. Once their blood came in contact with water, it turned the water into some kind of oily sludge. That sludge now had contaminated all the water on Dust which therefore resulted in a desert and desolate planet.
Yet, Earth Command wanted to build a colony there of all places. They believed a colony situated deep in one of the tunnels could survive and keep humanity alive while they developed the planet. The crew of the Satori had already placed an anti-agent in the sludge oceans that appears to be working. Upon arriving back over Dust, the Satori finds that about 30% of the planets oceans are now water instead of the sludge. The anti-agent is eating and destroying the viral containment allowing clouds to be formed and some actual green vegetation to grow. Still, the tunnel that has been identified for the colony was the same tunnel that was infested with giant centipede-like creatures, both young and old. These creatures are very tough, strong and very hard to kill. So, it's going to be a big problem to clean out this tunnel if they have moved back into their old nesting grounds.
So, both ships are off on their respective mission seemingly in different parts of the galaxy. But, nothing seems to be surprising in this book. There is another alien species roaming the same space as both the humans and Naga. These creatures are unknown to either group, but they are known to be enemies of the Naga. It is believed that the Satori was built by this species a long time ago. {This seems kind of far fetched since the Satori was easily converted to a human occupied starship given what these mysterious aliens turn out to be.} It is also soon found out that these new aliens don't like anyone and after wiping out the Naga, are going to do the same to Earth and humanity.
Very exciting book with lots of fighting. It gets kind of depressing since every time Earth sends a starship on a mission, it's found almost never up to the task. We're always lacking in advanced technology and have no clue as to what is going on in the galaxy as a whole. This story isn't over so you need to keep reading this book to understand what comes next.

Lawmakers take aim at DTC ads
by Tracy Staton |
Jul 28, 2009 10:31am
While pharma tunes up its advertising in support of healthcare reform, lawmakers are considering a little ad reform of their own. Yep, it's DTC regulation time, with Congressional reps eyeing everything from bans on certain ads to the tax deduction on pharma advertising.
According to the New York Times, a House bill would bar ads for sex-related meds such as Viagra and Levitra from prime-time TV. Rep. Henry Waxman, the powerful House Energy and Commerce chair, says he'd like the FDA to keep consumer ads for new drugs off the air until those meds have been on the market long enough for docs and patients to see how they work in the real world.
But the biggest change would come from the "Say No to Drug Ads Act," a bill backed by Rep. Jerrold Nadler. It would yank the tax deduction on direct-to-consumer drug ads. Nadler told the Times that the ads encourage viewers to self-diagnose and that, in his view, patients should not go to the doctor asking for particular meds. "On First Amendment grounds I am not going to say we will ban" drug ads," Nadler told the newspaper. "But they should not be able to get taxpayers to subsidize it."
Of course, the tax deduction has faced the knife before, most recently when Rep. Charles Rangel, chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, suggested that axing it could help finance healthcare reform. Both pharma and the media lobbied against that change, and it was dropped. It looks like the fight isn't over yet, however.

Fall is a busy time for processing your garden and now hunting season is upon us! Both passions involve having the correct tools to get the job done quickly and safely. Normally you would not use a hunting knife in the garden or a chef knife in the field! It is reasonable then to think that sharpening tools would use the same guidelines. Make sure that you are using the correct knife sharpening tool to sharpen your dull knife. These guidelines are for culinary knives like chef, butcher, boning, santoku or paring knives. All knives should be clean and dry before you start sharpening. Most manufacturer's recommend handwashing all of your knives and avoiding the dishwasher's abrasive chemicals. To keep your investment of knives in tip top shape, some recommendations follow regarding Sharpening Stones and Steels.
There are different grades of Sharpening Stones out in the market and it is best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for each brand. Sharpening stones may be sold in a single grit (coarse, medium or fine) or a combination of coarse and fine. The coarser grit quickly restores worn edges while the fine stone hones or polishes the edge. Make sure to check first if the stone requires water or oil for lubrication.
Holding wrists rigid, draw the blade diagonally against the surface for the length of the stone – like you were trying to take a thin slice of the stone – beginning at the heel of the knife and ending on the top.
Flip the blade over and repeat from the opposite end. Continue this action until a wire edge appears.
Start with the coarse stone and then finish with the fine or polishing stone.
As with stones, there is a multitude of sharpening steels to choose from. They range from a regular steel that will maintain your edge, a smooth polished steel for constant use for meat processors and diamond or ceramic steels that are a bit more aggressive of a sharpener. Regardless of the type of steel used, the way to use them is similar.
Ensure the tip of the steel is secure – it is suggested to point the tip of the steel down and rest it on a solid surface.
Place the heel of the blade (cutting edge near knife handle) towards the tip of the sharpening steel. Angle between the blade and steel should be approximately 20°.
place the edge of the knife against the steel with the blade perpendicular to the steel and you have a 90 degree angle.
Rotate your wrist so that you reduce the angle by half to form a 45 degree angle and reduce the angle again by half to create a 22.5 degree angle. Most factory edges are between 20 and 25 degrees.
Pull knife down and across the sharpening steel, in a slight arc. Lock your wrist and elbow and stroke the knife from heel to tip by unhinging at the shoulder. Keep a consistent angle all the way through the stroke.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 five to ten times, always alternating the right and left side of the cutting edge.
Note: Speed is not important. It is important to maintain the angle and sharpen the full length of the cutting edge.
Without regular honing, all knives will become dull requiring sharpening.
If you like ease and convenience, the next and easiest step would be to use an electric knife sharpener.
Again, there is a multitude of brands available and you can choose serious details like ceramic or diamond abrasives! Who thought buying a knife sharpener could be so fun?

Q: Can react-loadable be used in create-react-app server-side? I am attempting to do some code-splitting in my create-react-app application that utilizes server side rendering.
I am utilizing 'react-loadable` to do the code-splitting: https://github.com/thejameskyle/react-loadable
As of now I simply have split my Home.js component away from the rest of my app, just to see if it works.  In development mode (read: not SSR), it's chunked off and works fine.
However, I can't get things to work on the server.  I'm following the guide on their Github page and am stuck because of the webpack changes needed.  In create-react-app applications, you don't have access to webpack as it's hidden away.
The error I receive when starting the server is:
return (0, _importInspector.report)(import('../components/home/Home'), {
                                                ^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token import
at createScript (vm.js:80:10) ...

I'm pretty sure it's because I don't have webpack configured correctly as stated in the guide.
In the guide, it clearly states for SSR:

First we need Webpack to tell us which bundles each module lives inside. For this there is the React Loadable Webpack plugin.
Import the ReactLoadablePlugin from react-loadable/webpack and include it in your webpack config. Pass it a filename for where to store the JSON data about our bundles.

// webpack.config.js
import { ReactLoadablePlugin } from 'react-loadable/webpack';

export default {
    plugins: [
        new ReactLoadablePlugin({
            filename: './dist/react-loadable.json',
        }),
    ],
};

I don't think this is possible without ejecting.
Anyone have any idea if react-loadable can be used in a create-react-app server-side-rendered application?

A: import these modules at the top of your server file
require('ignore-styles');
require('babel-polyfill')
require('babel-register')({
    ignore: [ /(node_modules)/ ],
    presets: ['es2015', 'react-app'],
    plugins: [
        'syntax-dynamic-import',
        'dynamic-import-node',
        'react-loadable/babel'
    ]
});

Mobile repeaters or signal boosters are wireless devices used to enhance coverage by amplifying and re-transmitting the mobile signals in areas of poor signal quality. At a subscriber level, with access to the repeater, quality of experience is greatly improved. However, other users sharing the same channel may not be so fortunate, as these devices are transmitting at a much higher power on the same channel as the service provider. Without any network coordination or control, they can cause significant interference, impacting network performance. The biggest challenge is to locate these repeaters and to take necessary action to eliminate the source of interference. Finding and eliminating RF interference is very important to ensure best ROI for the service provider and QoE for the user.
for nearby users. This problem is exacerbated in a dense residential neighborhood, where a lot of users are close to each other.
Locating these devices in a dense urban environment, where the interfering signal can bounce off objects (reflection) and take multiple paths, is exponentially difficult. RF engineers have to spend days,if not weeks, locating the source of interference by walking around the neighborhood with a spectrum analyzer and a Yagi antenna. The tools used today are not efficient, easy to use, or cost effective. RF engineers need a better interference hunting solution that can quickly and efficiently locate and isolate the source of interference.
In this application note, we will discuss a similar scenario encountered by a service provider in the SEA region, and how they partnered with Viavi Solutions to quickly and efficiently locate an interference source in a highly dense residential area.
InterferenceAdvisorTM, Viavi's new, fully automated interference hunting solution, is the most user friendly solution available today. Easy to set up and completely intuitive, InterferenceAdvisor allows one RF engineer to easily identify and locate an interference source in hours with minimal effort: voice prompts simply direct the engineer to the source of interference.
Using the InterferenceAdvisor EagleEyeTM software running on an Android tablet, with a CellAdvisorTM Base Station Analyzer connected to a broadband Omni-antenna, a drive was conducted of the affected area.
In this case, the affected area consisted of several high rise residential buildings. All of the streets between those buildings had to be driven to identify the highest probability path for the location of the interference source.
Once the EagleEye Location Estimation Engine (LEE) identified the most probable area , the RF engineer was able to pinpoint the interfering source by using the AntennaAdvisor handle with a directional antenna, and optimizing the noise and sweep speed of the spectrum analyzer. The engineer quickly located an unauthorized repeater installed on the second floor of one of the residences.
Service providers need a solution that can help them quickly and efficiently locate and eliminate interference issues. Viavi InterferenceAdvisor offers a comprehensive, cost effective solution to identify interference sources.

Home » Review of The Bronze Age Mindset by BAP
As I've said before, there are few books that make a deep impact on me. Atlas Shrugged was one. The Gulag Archipelago was another, as was A Father's Voice. But, other than those few, there are few books I've read that remain constantly on my mind. Now, after reading The Bronze Age Mindset, I have another that will constantly remain with me.
The Bronze Age Mindset isn't for everyone, to be clear. BAP is irreverent, writes in meme speak about half the time, advocates for a way of life that seems dramatically out of place in the modern world, and has what some might regard as a dark outlook on life and humanity. Plus, he's supposedly a friend of Steve Bannon's that worked in the Trump White House, so that shows there are at least some real men in politics still, and that BAP thinks correctly about politics.
But, at the same time, BAP offers the antidote for the feminization of society that is the plague of the modern world. His way of life is the way Beowulf, Alcibiades, and the conquistadors lived. A diet of real food (meat and vegetables), a life spent in the sun, muscles sculpted by lifting steel, and riches won with iron rather than bought by gold.
The ideal life for BAP is one spent as a Viking, living a manly life and punishing weakness at the point of a sword.
It's a book that will attract some, intrigue some, and repel most. But, regardless of what category you fall into after reading it, The Bronze Age Mindset is a book you need to read. The rest of this review will explain why.
Summary of The Bronze Age Mindset
BAP begins his book with a short introduction that ends with this passage:
"In the Bronze Age men had life and force, and I already see, far on the horizon of our world, but the glimmer is surely there—may it not be a mirage!—I see this spirit returning surely in our time. Piratical bands and brotherhoods will take to the seas, and not just to the seas. The enemies of Western man and the enemies of beauty are to learn just what was meant by a piratical race, a nest of pirates like the Chinese thought of the Dutch on first meeting them. I want to prepare you to receive this old spirit—old spirits are moving, from behind the reeds… the silhouette shimmers against a river in late summer, and I see already men who know how to honor such uncanny old friends."
That passage is the essence of The Bronze Age Mindset. It's a book about preserving Western Civilization by returning to its roots- Ancient Greece, Imperial Rome, and the conquistadors and explorers that sparked centuries of Western domination.
Later, he develops it further, explaining the title thusly:
"Many times I'm asked, why the Bronze Age? Because it's the heroic age you see in Iliad and Odyssey, yes, but don't forget what hero really means. Thucydides says the men of that time enjoyed piracy, and saw nothing wrong with it, and this is true. And what is the pirate but the original form of the free man and of all ascending life!"
After the introduction, BAP begins his ruminations, most of which center around two ideas- owned space and making one's mark on the world.
The first, owned space, dominates the early portions of the book. BAP explains how healthy animals, including men, desire space of their own. Space to own, dominate, and in which they can prosper. In other words, we must maintain the property rights so integral to Western Civilization. A few passages help show that point:
"The most noble animals refuse to breed in captivity. Many animal, not just man, choose death when trapped. But I thought all life strove for mere survival and reproduction; but this not enough? But if not enough then must understand animal in some other way. Very much when thinkers talk about "evolutionary psychology" they abstract from way of yeast to way of animals and man, but this is backward."
"For this reason Nietzsche say, noble peoples do not endure slavery, they're either free or they die out."
"A healthy animal not under distress, not maimed, not trapped by man, seeks first when young: space."
"You must learn to see the secret language of nature and what it drives at: there is one path that drives for the production of a supreme specimen. It is the path that governs higher life; survival and reproduction are only side effects of this path. Life is at most basic, struggle for ownership of space."
His point is that noble animals, and thus noble men, are the ones that seek out and dominate owned space. If a situation arises where they might be turned into slaves and stripped of their property, like the Jews at Masada or the Spartans at Thermopylae, then they'd rather go down fighting, or even by committing suicide, than live yet remain enslaved. Great men do not surrender, they die fighting for what is theirs.
Later in The Bronze Age Mindset, BAP develops this point further, explaining how the steaming cities of the Orient (cities that we have now, sadly, replicated in the West), packed as they are with masses of humanity, are detestable because of the very lack of owned space. There are renters and denizens, but not owners. As a result, the men in them take no pride in life; rather than dominating and defending what is theirs, they are instead dominated by despots in far away, decadent capitals and by their wives at home. For example, he describes them as "the faceless clerk or merchant who claws his path in the antheap of this society is beholden to his hectoring wife like slave."
When compared with the city-states of Ancient Greece or Renaissance Italy, small affairs focused above all on individuality and citizenship, it's obvious why BAP prefers the West to the Orient in the matter of cities; owned space is a reality rather than an impossibility.
After discussing owned space, BAP proceeds to spend the rest of The Bronze Age Mindset discussing the type of man and the type of lifestyle he sees as best.
First, to do so, he discusses the degeneracy and weakness of the modern world, pointing out, as I have, that the modern world is a place of weak, servile men (warning: there is some graphic language and BAP is speaking in meme speak):
"Modern adult Western male seeks permission to watch other men playing sports, quaff vegetable oil relish, beg for "coochie" in simulated intercourse, masturbation with plastic on dick. Precisely a character born for conquest, for expansion, a precocious type of boy who seeks real development and the real domination of the space around him, who understands in his blood that play and manliness are to this end, precisely such a boy will have his expectations about life crushed and thwarted as soon as his eyes open."
"Physically, spiritually and in intellect they exceed us in every way. I give example: our elite athletes, our special forces operators, are nothing compared to them. We find Paleolithic bones, the femur, so robust that nothing from our runners or power-lifters equals. These men were capable of sustained speeds unimaginable today. You know about Marathon, but not the whole story. The real physical feat wasn't just the soldier who ran the twenty miles or so back to Athens to warn the people. The entire army ranged on the beach in heavy bronze armor, facing the enemy. After the Persians landed, the Greeks charged them from more than a mile away. The Persians were amazed at the line of gleaming bronze running toward them and their war cry. These men ran a mile in very heavy armor and also carried six-foot-plus ashen spear-spike. They drove the invaders into the sea. And right after this great effort they marched, still in armor, all the way back to Athens without pause, to prevent the Persians from making an opportune landing there. I don't think any special military units would be able to equal this feat today, and these were the average citizens of Athens."
"these were men of conquest, exploration and adventure first. Aeschylus had on his tombstone engraved that he fought at Marathon, not that he wrote his plays. The free man is a warrior, and only a man of war is a real man."
Using examples such as the ones above, BAP demolishes most of modern society, showing it for what it is: a cult of weakness and degeneracy. Our warriors are weak when compared to the ancients, men are servile and dominated, and the glorious feats of old are so different than the middling "accomplishments" of today so as to feel alien.
However, BAP is not completely despondent about modernity. Some figures fit his mold, as exemplified by these passages:
"Some time ago I spoke with another frog about Generalissimo Alfredo Stroessner. He was dictator of Paraguay for forty years. He went to sleep at one in the morning and got up at 4 AM; aside from this he took a two hour siesta in the afternoon (this is before air conditioning, and siesta is a necessity in tropical places). The entire day he worked relentlessly for his country and to keep down the vicious and Satanic communist sect that would have massacred his people—but he also did this for his own glory!"
"Even as versatile and flashy a man as Trump is very far from this possibility in our time, though he at least makes such a type somehow believable."
"The coming age of barbarism will not be owned, as so many of you urban cucks fear, by the gangbangers and the unwashed hordes of the teeming cesspools of the world, but by clean-cut middle-class and working-class vets, men of military experience, who know something about how to shoot and how to organize. The fools who think oligarchs will be able to control these men for very long should look to the fortunes of the Sforzas and many others, and remember that money is no match for force of arms combined with charm."
But, while he knows such men can exist, he is worried that the sad state of modern affairs will make it near-impossible for them to do so, as shown by these passages:
"We take the wolves and lions and leopards from among us when pups and break them with false ideas, vicious conditioning, and lately, drugs that would have lobotomized a da Vinci, an Alexander, a Frederick the Great out of existence in his youth."
"The condition of other modern nations is worse. In our time friendship is made illegal between boys in school, real fraternities are for all purposes banned, and the scouting movements are forced to accept women—and women are destructive entirely of any great friendship."
"He said, "Hippocleides you have just danced yourself out of a marriage" …but the answer was "Hippocleides doesn't care." In this one phrase you have the whole attitude of this beautiful, reckless piratical aristocracy that colonized and conquered their known world. It's an attitude that upsets all the moralfags of our time"
"The military is already so full of homofaggotry that it will be very unpleasant for any man who is a man to join its ranks at the moment. He might have a hard time advancing in its hierarchy, even affecting the views of a traditional religious conservative or a mainstream Trumpist which is, I suppose, as far as you could go right now. I would hate also to see any free man killed or maimed in the service of this military that's been turned into a Hessian merc force for Gulf nabobs, for various ethnic groups, for the idiotic schemes of international financiers and the benefit of machine politicians looking to advance their families' fortunes abroad."
We can't live up to the standards of the past because we're weak and dominated. Men such as Hippocleides didn't care what others thought; they did what they wanted and lived out their personalities in a positive way. Modern men are broken by the wheel of "political correctness" and not being offensive or impolite. Men other than the ones BAP celebrates, such as Trump or Viktor Orban, that is.
Furthermore, we've been dominated by betas and puritanical leftists. Such men are not fit to rule, much less set societal standards. BAP emphasizes that in these passages:
"No…great civilizations and cultures were never founded nor kept alive by "betas." The nerdoids who have taken over much of the right have brainwashed you to this view, but it's wrong."
"The problem of the modern world, as also of the degradation of the environment, isn't technology or a way of life or an ideology, but the ubiquity and rule of a certain kind of human…. and until this problem is solved………"
"the many find solace and meaning only in submission."
"When they say they are atheists, I never believe them: atheists act like Stalin or Brezhnev, not like a Presbyterian schoolmarm. The truth is that these who make the core of the modern left are moral fanatics. There's not a drop of atheism or relativism in them."
"Do you imagine that men of genius or, let's say, men of science in history walked around clear-headed, "disenchanted," reasonable, with the tight-assed attitude of the science cultist and materialist? No great discovery has ever been made by the power of reason. Reason is a means of communicating, imperfectly, some discoveries to others, and in the case of the sciences, a method of trying to render this communication certain and precise. But no one ever made a discovery through syllogisms, through reason, through this makeshift form of transmission. Great mathematicians saw spatial relations, as great physicists saw and to some extent felt physical relations."
Finally, BAP uses the last pages of The Bronze Age Mindset to explain how modern man can recover the mindset he cherishes, breaking the slave-like bonds of modernity and becoming a great man. He first suggests electing such men as Trump, Viktor Orban, and others that care not for the "bug men" or "yeast" of the left (so described because of their hive mind and the cancerous way in which they clump together and grow, overpowering their betters) and, rather than behave in a conciliatory manner, instead fight with everything they've got to champion manly virtue and Western Civilization. Then, focusing on the personal rather than the political, BAP gives this advice:
"But a regime of sun and steel is absolutely required, for your mood, your aesthetics, for getting the attention of women and the respect of men, and above all for preparation for struggle and war. In ancient Greek cities, only the citizens were allowed to lift weights and work in the gym: slaves were forbidden. It's no wonder that the robots of Babylon seek to ban gyms for men in our time."
Get outside. Lift weights and exercise. Learn how to fight. And, after you've taken those steps, focus on greatness and owned space. Be a man like Alcibiades and make your mark on history with fighting spirit, charisma, and confidence. That's BAP's advice for modern man.
My Take on The Bronze Age Mindset
As you probably guessed from the summary and introduction, I was a huge fan of The Bronze Age Mindset.
For one, the irreverent manner in which BAP writes is hilarious and highly entertaining. Words are occasionally spelled like they are in memes, his depiction of leftists as bugmen, and the way he skewers the beta males that aren't charismatic or masculine is terrific.
More importantly, however, The Bronze Age Mindset gets to the root of what is wrong with modern civilization. Men have become weak. Most Americans are too fat to fight. They don't exercise, don't go outside, eat processed grains rather than meat, and won't fight for what's theirs. Their wives cheat on them, they work under the crushing yoke of a soul-erasing job, and they're disconnected from the powerful forces in nature.
How many modern men know the feeling that comes from stalking a deer, knowing you're about to extinguish the flame of a life? Who among us would have the internal fortitude and utter ruthlessness necessary to be a conquistador, landing in a foreign continent with a few dozen men and utterly dominating it? How many are left that embody the principles of greatness found in The Lives of the Noble Greeks, Beowulf, or The Song of the Cid? I'd say very few.
Furthermore, BAP is right in both what he criticizes about modernity and what the likely solutions are.
The main problem we have is weakness. The left is the side, as he says, of bugmen. They don't think for themselves, behave as a hive rather than as individuals, and are generally weak betas. The conservative right, as Kurt Schlichter once said, is dominated by "bowtied virgins" that are of little use in a no-holds-barred brawl over the future of Western Civilization. Men on both sides have allowed themselves to be dominated by the feminine. Gone are the days of brawling on the playground, ruthless geopolitics, and cultivating masculinity. In are the days of talking about feelings and mindlessly declaring that violence is never the answer.
It's only an exceptional modern man that has escaped those traps of modernity and embraced the virile masculine life of the sort BAP champions. Trump is one, Bob Denard is another, the former Rhodesian and South African soldiers that created Executive Outcomes is an entire group of such men, and the Rhodesian farmers that defended what was theirs from Mugabe and his Marxist thugs were an entire society of such people. Like me, BAP is very complimentary of Rhodesia. I'd also add the brave men of Azov Battalion and Right Sector to the list, along with Wagner Group, Blackwater, and Cliven Bundy.
He, therefore, calls for us to follow in the footsteps of such greats. Fight for what's yours, taking and dominating owned space. A life of sun and steel. Connect to the land that's yours and feel the ancient strength that comes with embracing a heritage of honor.
But, above all else, be an individual and make your mark on the world. BAP rightly denigrates the idiotic, evil Nazis that march in the streets or the weirdos that champion edgy ideologies online; they're obvious lunatics and, in the case of the Nazis, not individuals but rather a different type of bugmen that have an even more reprehensible ideology.

First steps towards programming a quantum computer over the cloud
March 6, 2017 | Written by: IBM Research Editorial Staff
Categorized: Quantum Computing
Since last year, scientists, students, and the quantum computing curious have been able to explore the world's first and only cloud-enabled quantum computing platform, the IBM Quantum Experience. They're running well-known canonical quantum algorithms, such as two-qubit Grover's Search, and even trying their own experiments on our IBM Cloud-hosted five-qubit quantum processor.
We designed the Quantum Experience with an approachable visual interface, called the Quantum Composer, around a commonly used quantum gate library often taught in various quantum computing textbooks and courses.
And the community, some 40,000 of whom have run in excess of 275,000 experiments on the Quantum Experience, have been asking for more. More access to the qubits. More possibilities with the experiments.
So, we're excited to share our newest upgrade to the Quantum Experience: an application programming interface (API) to directly interact with the experiment and simulators. What's more is that it uses a beefed-up quantum intermediate representation we call OPENQASM which supports a more complete toolset of quantum circuits, opening up more capabilities of the underlying quantum hardware for future releases.

IBM released a new API (Application Program Interface) for the IBM Quantum Experience for the developer community. In the first half of 2017, IBM plans to release a full SDK (Software Development Kit) on the IBM Quantum Experience. (Connie Zhou for IBM)
Users will now be able to run batches of operations, using scripting languages like Python, and hence string together higher-level calculations of their returned results from the cloud-hosted IBM quantum processor. This enables the bridge towards building complex experiments and gives a framework for higher-level programming as our quantum computers expand from five qubits, towards the realm of medium-sized quantum computers of ~50-100 qubits.
By accessing an open source github repository with our API and a simple software development kit (SDK), users will have access to examples and documentation for how to program over the cloud and example scripts to learn how to develop new interfaces, compilers, and programs which might help shape the next evolution of quantum computer science. In order to enable those medium-sized quantum computers in a few years, it is imperative to begin shaping the software framework today, and we are excited to offer this community development through our Quantum Experience.
Algorithms for quantum computers need to be carefully designed to exploit the features of quantum mechanics to deliver speedups over classical algorithms. The subtlety involved in quantum algorithm design makes it challenging to apply quantum computing to real-world problems in enterprises. QC Ware is exploring how some of the quantum algorithms developed over the past 30 years (a comprehensive list is maintained by NIST) can be adapted to run on early QC prototypes, such as those being made by IBM, well before large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers are deployed.
—Matt Johnson, CEO of QCWare Corp., an application software company
Priming quantum computers for quantum computer science
If we had a medium-sized quantum computer today, programming such a system to explore simple applications, demonstrating a quantum advantage over classical computers for certain computational tasks, and even validating the quantum functionality of such a system are challenging tasks. This complexity necessitates a layered architecture and a hierarchy of tools.
Quantum computing needs a foundational representation of quantum circuits which we can use to communicate with the current and future versions of our hardware. To keep up with the expansion, we will soon also include an SDK that will offer several operations, like a suite of tools that compress users' programs into something that can use a quantum computer – as well as optimize and define the interface between classical and quantum computers.
Think of this as a software upgrade before the hardware is ready. But when it is, scientists will have built on top of our foundation the tools needed to take advantage of a 50 qubit machine.
If you have explored our Quantum Experience tool, come experiment with our new interface and simple API. For those new to quantum, we offer extensive user guides and a thriving community forum to help get you started.
Academic and industry institutions can also reach out to us about our new commercialization program through our Frontiers Institute. As our quantum computing capabilities expand, so has our lab. Help us define the quantum future.

What does programming for the not-so-distant quantum future look like? From November 9 to 30, more than 3,300 people from 85 countries applied for the 2,000 seats of the IBM Quantum Challenge to find out. As our cloud-accessible quantum systems continue to advance in scale and capability with better processors of larger number of qubits, […]
Rethinking quantum systems for faster, more efficient computation
As we looked closer at the kinds of jobs our systems execute, we noticed a richer structure of quantum-classical interactions including multiple domains of latency. These domains include real-time computation, where calculations must complete within the coherence time of the qubits, and near-time computation, which tolerates larger latency but which should be more generic. The constraints of these two domains are sufficiently different that they demand distinct solutions.

It was written to influence the 1936 presidential election. The enormously popular ex-governor of Louisiana, Senator Huey Long, "the Kingfish," who campaigned to "Share the Wealth" with the people, was widely thought a threat to the reelection to a second term of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
The Lewis novel foresaw someone like Huey Long winning the presidency and installing an American counterpart to the fascist dictatorships already in power in Italy and Germany. Lewis was much influenced by his second wife, Dorothy Thompson, who was one of the most important syndicated political columnists of the 1930s, greatly concerned about the possibility of populist dictatorship crossing the Atlantic.
Long was not a fascist, although he could have become a dictator. His support was from the poor. Rightist and white-supremicist forces actually formed an armed militia to oppose him, but he was killed by an assassin, presumably with a family grievance against him, in 1935.
The man who actually opposed Roosevelt in 1936 was the Republican Alf Landon of Kansas, a moderate politician, who was defeated by Roosevelt in the greatest presidential landslide in American history. F.D.R. in 1936 carried all but eight electoral votes. Sinclair Lewis's fears had been misplaced; "it" didn't happen here.
In 2004, Philip Roth wrote another novel, this one about the supposed arrival of an anti-semitic and fascist president in the United States. This would have been in 1940, in the supposed person of the aviator, American anti-war nationalist and isolationist, Charles A. Lindbergh. Roosevelt's actual opponent in 1940 was the businessman Wendell Wilkie, whom he comfortably defeated with 54.7% of the popular vote.
Lindbergh never retracted his opposition to U.S. entry into the European war, and following Pearl Harbor Roosevelt refused ex-Colonel Lindbergh's effort to rejoin the military. Lindbergh therefore found experimental and consultant work in the aviation industry, helped develop the Vought Corsair, the only American fighter in the Pacific war superior to the Japanese Zero, and despite remaining a civilian, flew 36 combat missions in the Pacific. Once again, "It" had not happened in the United States.
When "It" did happen was in 2001-2008, in the Bush administration.
There was a takeover of the government by a self-willed executive power, unprecedented in American history. The president and vice president acted on a novel and legally unsupported claim to unlimited "wartime" presidential and executive-branch power. The justification was an illegal, undeclared war.
International law and American treaty obligations were defied, as were established American law on the conduct of war and the treatment of prisoners, constitutional protections, and the surveillance of citizens.
All of this occurred without meeting serious, or at least successful, Congressional or judicial challenge, with little or no objection from the national press, and all but unanimous support from the national audiovisual media. One needn't go through all that again.
There were unsuccessful efforts by individuals inside and outside the government to overturn this state of affairs, but in two congressional elections, and in the presidential election of 2004, the electorate endorsed all that had been done. "It," which Sinclair Lewis and Philip Roth had both warned against, proved in fact to be very popular. At least this was so until 2008, when the practical and political consequences of this abandonment of law and history finally alienated the electorate.
That is all familiar. What concerns me in this article is something else. It is the fact that the mass of agents and officials of the government, and the vast majority of the population, passively accepted what was done, and even today disputes whether anyone should be held accountable.
President Obama's unwillingness to see his first term dominated by the crimes of the Bush administration is comprehensible.
Yet there is a limit. The latest case of the human moral vacuum created and encouraged during the Bush years is so outrageous, perverse, sadistic and nihilistic that it demands attention, for all that it tells us about the rest that has happened. I speak of the ordered, authorized, and conscientiously supervised water-boarding of two prisoners 266 times.
The men who authorized, ordered, and performed such acts should be hanged. It is as simple as that.
It then would be possible to face the future with a response to Can It Happen Here.
This, from my friend Richard. Very late, but still worth reading and, well, laughing, since the alternative is crying.
1) I create a structure of malfeasance and place all my buddies' rotten assets in it.
2) It's the U.S. taxpayers (not my buddies) who will pay the approx. trillion dollars in the years to come.
3) If Obama squeaks by*, he'll inherit the problem and the Republikans will win the next election.
No indictments, no jail, no impeachment.
Encore un billet de haute tenue de polecat hunter.
On peut aussi travailler plus pour gagner moins… Notre génération est, je pense, moins bien lotie que les précédentes. Et les retraités sont la matrice de la révolution néo-conservatrice qui est à l'œuvre.
Militant communiste à 20 ans, socialiste à 35, il est au centre à 50 avant de passer l'arme à droite à 60. Fonctionnaire à la retraite, il milite pour la libre entreprise, la mondialisation et la concurrence en fréquentant Le Figaro. Il évoque le manque de prise de risque et la tendance des français à trop compter sur l'État, lui qui est assis sur une pension confortable.
Au fond, vive le réchauffement climatique, le Docteur Pelloux a été viré et une bonne canicule pourrait faire le ménage.
Eh non, malgré le titre, ne croyez pas que j'exhume une fable perdue de La Fontaine, il s'agit d'un billet d'humeur d'un contributeur.
Je ne publie malheureusement qu'avec retard cette correspondance reçue de polecat hunter, car par manque de temps, il n'a pas pu me donner son accord de publication avant. Du coup, le billet perd de son à propos chronologique, mais n'en reste pas moins pertinent sur le fond.
Je vais te répondre plus amplement plus tard. Je voulais simplement te faire part de mon désarroi devant l'échec de mon mentor à la présidence du Sénat, le phoenix du Haut Poitou en personne, dit Le Blaireau, laminé par Gérard Larcher dit Le Pélican en raison d'un goitre qui pourrait tenir au chaud un bon kilo de sardines et autres bêtes à nageoires.
J'espère que cet échec ne s'explique par le simple fait qu'il a été probablement le premier ministre le plus minable de la Vème république. Car celui qui a tenté de recentrer les exportations françaises sur les produits qui ont fait notre gloire, je parle évidemment de la baguette, sera peut-être vu un jour comme un visionnaire incompris.

Video: Del. Mark Levine Explains Why He Believes Current Redistricting Amendment "Is Worse Than Current Law"
Levine prefers a law that requires "fair maps" and "proportional representation" for 2021, then work on constitutional amendment for 2031.
lowkell
See below for video, as Del. Mark Levine (D-Alexandria/Arlington) methodically walks through his reasoning as to why the proposed Virginia redistricting amendment – the one passed for the first time in the 2019 General Assembly session and will be up for a vote again in 2020 – isn't just "imperfect," but that it's "worse than current law, because it allows people [on the Virginia Supreme Court] appointed by the illegally gerrymandered Republican majority to choose the districts." Del. Levine also explains, very well, the "reason why gerrymandering is wrong."
"Never forget, and they really got this wrong at 1VA2021, the reason why gerrymandering is wrong is NOT because districts are squiggly…[because] they look funky…no. What…we only want paintings to be square? That's not why they're wrong. Gerrymandering is wrong because it's unrepresentative, because a minority can control a majority, because the lines don't represent the people. That's what makes it wrong, not that the lines are squiggly…I want fair maps, I want proportional representation. That's fair. I want maps that reflect Virginia, the people of Virginia. That's not what they want…They don't define fair maps as representative, democratic maps. No no. They define maps as communities of interest…They basically want random districts…well, random as I pointed out favors Republicans, because Democrats live close to each other in cities, that's just the facts…"
Del. Levine continues to explain why the current amendment has "totems of democracy" – it "looks fair but it really isn't." And Del. Levine makes a key point, that this is NOT a choice between the redistricting amendment and nothing, but that the legislature can pass a "regular bill in 2020" that determines how redistricting is done in 2021, then work on a "really good constitutional amendment in time for 2031."

Q: Making web requests to any url in a browser extension I'm currently working on a browser extension but I'm having problems with web requests.
The extension needs to make requests to a self-hosted instance. That means that the url is different for everyone.
I'm having two problems with making the web requests (in javascript):

*

*Just making any web request fails. See:

fetch(`${base_url}/api/auth/status`)
.then(response => {
    // catch errors
    if (!response.ok) {
        return Promise.reject(response.status);
    };

    return;
});
.catch(e => {
    console.log(e);
})

Results in the following two errors:
Refused to run the JavaScript URL because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'self'". Either the 'unsafe-inline' keyword, a hash ('sha256-...'), or a nonce ('nonce-...') is required to enable inline execution. Note that hashes do not apply to event handlers, style attributes and javascript: navigations unless the 'unsafe-hashes' keyword is present.
Refused to run the JavaScript URL because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'self' 'wasm-unsafe-eval'". Either the 'unsafe-inline' keyword, a hash ('sha256-...'), or a nonce ('nonce-...') is required to enable inline execution. Note that hashes do not apply to event handlers, style attributes and javascript: navigations unless the 'unsafe-hashes' keyword is present.

*Reading articles, it looks like I need to add the exact url's to the manifest.json file that requests will be made to. However, requests are made to any url, because the server is self-hosted. So how am I going to fix that?

I've looked at these articles and SO posts, but none seem to help: Dev, Medium, SO 1, CSPlite, Csper, SO 2
Thanks in advance for any help :)

A: I've figured both problems out.
The first problem, where JavaScript wouldn't run, was caused by the action attribute of a form. I had a form in my html, and using JavaScript, I set the action attribute to javascript:login();. This runs the login function inline, which is not allowed. I fixed it by changing the form to a div and adding an event listener to the submit button to run login.
The second problem was fixed by adding the following to the manifest.json file:
"host_permissions": [
    "http://*/",
    "http://*/*",
    "https://*/",
    "https://*/*"

Event Recap – "The Chosen" Movie Premiere!
As I've discussed on the blog before, I have somewhat recently graduated from Chapman University with my Bachelor's in Communication Studies & am currently working as an Event Planning Intern. My ultimate career goals are to end up working in the Entertainment Industry in Public Relations/Publicity, Event Planning, Social Media Management, Production, Casting, etc. With that being said, I've started to try to apply for Casting Assistant positions or Production Assistant gigs.
On July 24th, I was selected to work as a Production Assistant/Event Staff with SuperGravity Pictures at the World Premiere of "The Chosen" starring YouTube star Kian Lawley. The Black Carpet Event took place at the Gardenwalk in Anaheim. I was responsible for Check In which included not only Fans, but VIP, Industry, and Press. The short story is- it was SO. MUCH. FUN! I met wonderful people, saw some celebrities (I MET KANDEE JOHNSON!), did some networking, and had an amazing time. I can't wait to see what my next adventure is. If you want to be part of the journey make sure you click on that FOLLOW button at the top right of this page!

Also, I wanted to give a shoutout to one of my new friends, the amazing Miss Carmen Sharafeldeen! In a crazy twist, we both used to work at the Starbucks in Disney California Adventure, just not at the same time. She's lovely and talented & I can't wait to hang out again!

The Small and Mid-size Firm Apprenticeship Program (SMAP) of Boston University Law School recently held a Speed Networking Event to give their students the opportunity to further their networking skills. Peter Barlow serves on the Board of SMAP and was one of the attorneys participating in the event held February 5th. Every five minutes he met with a different student one-on-one to tell them about his law practice and allow them to pitch themselves. This portion of the event was followed by a group networking session, to allow for further development.
