Q: Getting a cherrypy Hello World running on EC2 instance I am trying to do a simple proof of concept on a new EC2 instance in which I run the "Hello World" tutorial code from the CherryPy distribution.
CherryPy launches successfully, and a wget run directly on the EC2 instance successfully retrieves the Hello World page.  However, trying to access the same page from my own machine results in a "could not connect" error.
CherryPy is running on port 8080, and my EC2 instance is set up with a security group that ought to be allowing traffic from anywhere to connect to port 8080.
Here is my CherryPy tutorial.conf:
[global]
server.socket_host = "127.0.0.1"
server.socket_port = 8080
server.thread_pool = 10

I have tried connecting to the web server using both the public DNS listed in the AWS management console, as well as by setting up an elastic IP; neither allows a successful connection.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

A: Set the socket_host to the server ip or '0.0.0.0' for external access.

Making Sense Of Ai
Is Your Brand Ready To Go Virtual?
Download Issue PDF Download Issue PDF
BY Hannah Mirza
Virtual Reality is already on top of many advertisers' agenda as a technology that enables brands to create stunning consumer experiences. Here are four steps to prepare your brand for VR.
While many think of virtual reality (VR) as a new technology relevant only to gamers or the geek elite, our collective desire to transport ourselves into new realities has been around for decades: The Sword of Damocles, in fact – widely considered to be the first VR headmounted display system – was created way back in 1968 by the acclaimed computer scientist Ivan Sutherland.
What's new and exciting is that inventors have only recently figured out how to create a truly life-like experience at a reasonable price point. As a result, VR may help marketers fight advertising fatigue and bring immersive experiences, permitted personalization and contextualized content to existing and new consumers in a truly addictive way. Take Oculus, for example. Entrepreneur Palmer Luckey was determined to solve VR's inadequacies and so, in 2011, he developed prototypes that led to the formation of Oculus, a company he sold to Facebook for $2 billion in 2014. The Oculus Rift, a virtual reality headset that completely immerses users inside virtual worlds, is scheduled to launch in early 2016.
Not to be left behind, Google launched Google Cardboard in June 2014, turning a phone, a few lenses and a folded-up piece of cardboard into an affordable VR solution. At this year's I/O Android showcase, Google went on to consummate a GoPro partnership that makes it possible to capture 3D VR content at a relatively low cost. There are now more than 25 VR devices of varying degrees of sophistication, a growing number of peripherals and a burgeoning number of content capturing and creation solutions. With industry giants such as Microsoft, Apple, Sony, Samsung, HTC, Magic Leap and Baidu entering this market, 2016 will be the year of VR. The time for marketers to prepare, however, is now, and that means understanding and incorporating best practices. Consider these four steps:
1. Start testing now
Several brands are already dabbling in VR, and – assuming the results are positive – they will scale their efforts quickly to stay out in front. Through testing and experimentation, brands like Red Bull, Mountain Dew, BBC, Marriot and Volvo are learning how to fail fast, refine and iterate quickly. These companies have used event-based experiences as a key access point for both press and consumers to trial their VR worlds, generating earned media around the world. MediaCom client Audi loaded its A3 car drive experience on Oculus Rift devices in major dealer locations. Visitors could take a test drive without ever leaving the store. The experience was filmed and promoted across social media and YouTube, and the overall initiative provided Audi with critical information as it plans to introduce similar installations in additional markets. The key is to start your journey now, and keep iterating. To gain confidence and expertise, small builds with Google Cardboard may be the best place to start. The next obvious move is to build for Oculus, because the $2 billion acquisition price tag ensures that Facebook will not let it fall behind.
2. Begin talking to possible partners
The big players in this space need you as much as you need them, and hedging your options (and accessing knowledge) across multiple partners is advisable. Interesting and potentially lucrative partnerships are already forming; Vice has teamed up with director Chris Milk to create a series of VR journalism projects that will eventually provide brand sponsorship opportunities.
3. Treat VR as its own channel
VR offers what no other medium can, by providing users with experiences that would otherwise be impossible. These can include special events, remote locations, production lines, product immersions, educational simulations and exclusive VIP access offers. Your brand could be the first to take consumers to Mars, or to the bottom of the ocean. In addition, the VR native advertising experience will create long-form storytelling opportunities. Real estate and travel brands are already adopting VR to take prospects on virtual tours of properties, destinations and hotels before the buy, rent or vacation. This kind of "try before you buy" concept could be incredibly valuable in situations that have historically required a great deal of time or money, or that previously relied on word-of-mouth.
4. Content is your VR media
An enjoyable, high-quality consumer experience is even more vital to success in VR than in other channels. Once that headset is on, the consumer is exclusively yours, and – as a result – you must entertain, inspire, and, ultimately, offer them something incredibly memorable and unexpected. Fortunately, new peripherals and technologies like haptics (for touch sensations), VR is becoming an
even more exciting multi-sensory environment, and further developments like smell and voice recognition will eventually provide an even richer canvas. For now, check out content creators like Jaunt, Visualise and Framestore for ideas of what world-class VR content and experiences can look and feel like.
MediaCom is mapping the VR and augmented reality marketplace, and has generated a creators' community to invest in and help clients exploit emerging opportunities.

Why ad blocking is reinventing the true craft of advertising
Mad Women or Math Women?


How is IT for you? Online survey of 1st yr undergraduates - Dec 2010 Purpose of survey IT Services again invited all 1st yr undergraduates to complete an online survey at the end of their first term at university to get feedback on their first experiences of using IT. This was the third year we had run the survey, and following the most useful feedback in previous years we repeated the survey this year, with similar, but updated where appropriate, questions. The online survey, using Study Direct, consisted of 41 questions including 2 free text questions for additional negative and positive comments.
Advertising survey An email, containing a direct link for filling in the survey, was sent to all 1st yr undergraduates on Wednesday 1 Dec 2010. As an incentive/thank you we offered 50p printing credit to each student who completed the survey, and we highlighted this in our email and advertising. The survey was advertised on the university student web pages, ITS web pages and Latest News, ITS status screens, and posters in ITS, Library, and PC rooms. Students also saw the survey when they logged in to Study Direct. The survey closed on the last day of term, Friday 10 December and by then 667 out of possible 3949 students had completed survey, so 17% response. As last year we followed the replies as they came in, and noticed that after the first 100 or so the pattern of their responses was similar, with no great change as more replies were received, so we consider 667 replies are representative and give us good feedback. (This compares with 17% in Dec 2009, and 33% in Dec 2008.) As well as answering the questions, most of the students also added constructive comments and suggestions, which we are following up.
Summary The following comments are grouped by topic picking up responses and comments from different parts of the survey, so this does not follow the order of the questions in the survey. Not all % add up to 100% as it was not compulsory for students to enter a response for each question. The main figures for this year are shown in bold, with figures for the previous two years, Dec 2009, Dec 2008, included in italics if a similar question had been asked.
Number of responses There was a good response, 17% of all 1st yr ugs, 667 out of a possible 3949, (17%, 34%), and from all departments except Education. There were slightly more responses from female students than male students 57%, (60%,65%). There were more responses from UK students 73%, (80%,79%), compared with Overseas students.
More students 57%, (53%,47%) were satisfied with the face-to-face assistance and advice they had received at the IT Service Desk in Shawcross, which seemed low considering all the good comments later in the survey about the helpful staff, but then 39%, (41%,44%) students had not yet visited the IT Service Desk. Only a few were dissatisfied 3%, (4%,5%). Following feedback from previous surveys, the opening hours of the IT Service Desk have been extended into the evenings during term time weekdays, and 56% students were pleased with this extension, although 43% had not used yet. As last year, at this stage 82%, (85%, 72%) said they had not used the telephone / online assistance from the ITS. Similarly 67%, (66%) had not used the email or online web forms, but 29% ,(29%) who had used them were satisfied with the advice.
96 students, 14%, (11%,10%) do not have anti-virus software on their own main computer. ITS have purchased the virus protection software, Kaspersky, for PCs which students (and staff) can install for free, and this is advertised at induction and on all ITS information ± leaflets, web pages etc. Of the virus software used, the most common were Norton, AVG, Macafee and then Kaspersky.
Configuring own computer to connect to Internet ITS provided "pink" cables in each bedroom for students to use to connect their laptop to ResNet, so they did not have to bring a cable with them, or find one to buy if they had forgotten. Nearly all students who lived on campus, 71%, (73%) had found this useful. (23%, (19%) of those replying did not live on campus).

Similarly 11%, (5%) with 4%, (2%) needing one-to-one sessions for eduroam. This year there were only 14 comments from 667 replies,(19 from 640 in Dec 09, but 114 from 1088 replies in Dec 08) about the complexity/difficulty of connecting their own computer to the Internet, i.e. setting up own laptop for Resnet or wireless. So the introduction of Xpress Connect last year has continued to make it much simpler for students to set up their computer to connect to the internet. Again there were many, 97, (74) comments about the helpfulness of ITS staff.
Computer clusters Similar to previous years 79%, (79%,80%) students were satisfied with the computer clusters, although 9%, (11%,13%) have not used them yet. The most popular places for using computers were the Library, 66% (79%,71%) and IT Services, 61%, (42%,36%), followed by York House 23%, (22%), Pevensey 21%. JMS, which is also open 24 hr, was still only 5%, (4%, 5%). Other clusters, which are not open 24 hr, were 4-7% ,but Bramber House was slightly higher this year at 9%, (6%, 3%). This year there were a few more students 39 from 667 replies, (Dec 09 - 26 from 640 replies, Dec 08 - 82 from1088) who said that there were not enough PCs, or they had difficulty finding a free PC, or finding the PC clusters, and there were other students who said there were plenty of computers.

Lecture and Seminar Rooms Most students 82%, (77%,80%) thought the teaching environments were well supported with projectors, smartboards and other audio visual equipment. A lecture capture service was introduced in the Autumn 2009. Of the 419 students who have had access to recordings of lectures, 79% thought that these recordings supported their learning. The other 232 students could not tell as their lecturers had not used it.
Sussex Direct and Study Direct As last year over 94%, (93%), students strongly agreed/agreed that Sussex Direct was useful for finding information. 89%, (86%), students thought that Study Direct helped support their learning, and was easy to use, 92%, (88%) and performance, time to load pages, was acceptable, 89%, (88%).
External web sites As last year Facebook 92%, (89%, 86%) was the site that many students said they used regularly, followed by YouTube 66%,(66%,71%). 60%, (44%,27%) students used Skype regularly too. We added Sussex webmail to the list last year, and similarly 66%, (66%) students used Sussex webmail regularly, which matched responses about the email service.
Printing 68%, (66%,62%) students were satisfied with the printing service with a further 18%, (19%, 22%) students who had not used the printing service yet, (so assume they had printers of their own) Last year ITS introduced a double sided printing service which 66%, (73%) said is useful. As in the previous years though there were several, 30, comments that the cost of printing was too expensive, and that they should not have to print out so much course material themselves.
File Storage 58%, (64%) of students are satisfied with the 1GB of backed up file storage they are given, although 39%, (33%,43%) students have not used their N:drive for storing their files yet.
Email Service Last year ITS introduced a new webmail service. 89%, (86%,82%) students were satisfied with the email service, and only 6%, (7%,14%) dissatisfied. Most students do use their Sussex email, with only 3%, (6%, 2%) who do not. We asked if students logged in to their Sussex email directly or set up forwarding to a personal email account. More than last year, over 87%, (78%) students do login to their Sussex email, with only 12% (20%), redirecting their mail.
Internet access x ³I think it's great that IT provides ethernet cables for ResNet.´ x ³Campus Eduroam wifi is excellent.´ x ³Internet connection is very good on campus but would prefer wireless all over.´ x ³PC cluster in York House is very efficient for residents as it doesn't require students to travel across campus to find a computer in the evening.

3DS News Wii U
Nintendo Hardware & Software Sales Units Updated
October 26, 2016 Craig Majaski 0 Comments
Nintendo has updated its data to reflect the sales of the 3DS and Wii U hardware and software up through September 30, 2016. It definitely demonstrates why Nintendo is so eager to drop the Wii U and release the Switch. At 13.36 million units sold, the Wii U is by far the worst selling home system from Nintendo ever, with the GameCube selling 8 million more consoles during its lifetime.
Even the 3DS, which by all accounts is a success, hasn't been able to reach the heights of any previous portable released by Nintendo. Still, given the competition from mobile devices 61.57 million units sold isn't too shabby. It should also be noted that the average retail price for the 3DS is much higher than any prior Nintendo handheld, which could be hampering potential sales. Only this year did the more affordable Nintendo 2DS finally launch in Japan. The 3DS only has to sell about another half a million systems to outsell the NES. It should easily accomplish this over the next few months, but look at the software sales comparison. The 3DS sits at 293 million versus the NES's whopping 500 million. I'm pretty sure the 3DS won't be able to hit that number.

I can't say I'm the least bit surprised at the lack of holiday spirit that has been permeating the United States of America for sometime now. But I'm appalled we have allowed blatant commercialism and greed to push us way over the edge. The line of demarcation for me came when the powers that be at Target stores decided to open their doors for business at 9:00pm on Thanksgiving night. Really?
I am almost certain those who have the cojones to make this ridiculous decision will be at home with their families for the ENTIRE Thanksgiving Day and night. Have retailers become so inconsiderate that they must be the first ones to rake in the cash any way they can? Have the need for commercialism and greed far surpassed caring for our fellow man? When and where do WE draw the line?
I know jobs are scarce and everyone who has one wants to hang on to it for dear life. But is this the price we are willing to pay?
Some of us already work such ridiculous hours that when we do have a minute of free time, we spread ourselves thin. Between all the stuff needing to be taken care of and our families, when do we really have time to take care of ourselves? We need to ask ourselves, when will the price get too high? When will enough be simply enough?
Of course there are some who don't care about family time and would give anything not to have to be in the same room with family members. Yet, there are others who cherish the time spent with loved ones and look forward to this special day to spend with family members we rarely see.
No one and I mean NO ONE, needs to shop on Thanksgiving Day. What is so flipping necessary that you can't wait until midnight to buy? Is shopping really that serious? Gimme a break.

Couldn't agree more with most of this – the sad exception being that I am currently looking for a job. I haven't left my old one yet, but boy, am I tempted! That said, I'd love to get rid of many of my belongings and move into a smaller home. I need a place that doesn't demand so much of me that I have to stay in an abusive work situation because I can't sell my home. I wonder how many are in my situation? I would happily live a much simpler life if I could get away from the abuse.

1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s
I've been reading science fiction for over five decades, and science fiction evolves with the times. Writers don't say to themselves, "Hey, it's a new decade, let's write something different." There are no hard and fast demarcations by decade. On the other hand, we do categorize other aspects of life by decade, so why not science fiction.
When I say "the defining science fiction by decade," I mean the books we remember most, and the books that made the most impact when they came out. For example, Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein will always be associated with the 1960s. We know it looking back, but we also knew it then the 1960s. Stranger in a Strange Land was just different from what was being written and read in the 1950s. There were lots of books that came out in the 1960s that we don't remember, but they defined the times too, like Behold the Man by Michael Moorcock and The Last Starship From Earth by John Boyd. Few people read those books today, but if they did, they'd pick up the 1960s vibes. More important though, when those books came out, they created buzz.
What I work towards is identifying those books we remember now, and discovered then, that defined the decade. I recently revised the 1990s list, deleting many titles. I realized some books I included because of great reviews or winning awards, have just never caught on, and are out of print. Defining books, whether though gaining popularity over time, or making an impact in their time, need to stay in print.
Some books find second lives eventually, as readers study the past. For example, Shadow of the Hearth by Judith Merril, from 1950. Because so many are looking at the works of women science fiction writers, this book is getting new attention. It is an early example of a post-atomic bomb apocalypse, and that's definitely a way we remember the 1950s.
I'm still struggling how I want to select books for these decade lists. In the 1950s, small presses republished a lot content that was first printed in the 1930s and 1940s in the pulps. One example, is The Cosmic Engineers by Clifford Simak in 1950, a story he wrote in the 1930s. Does it define the 1950s? It probably felt dated even when it was first published. To the readers of the 1950s, this kind of super-science pulp fiction was common to read, and for the people who grew up reading it in the 1950s, that's might be how they define 1950s science fiction. But for later readers, the story will feel like a 1930s story.
That's why I'm thinking of refining my lists, but it's going to cause big problems. The most memorable 1950s science fiction story today in current polls is The Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov. However, the original stories were first published in the pulps in the 1940s. The Caves of Steel and The Naked Sun are better examples of 1950s science fiction, and better examples of Asimov's writing for the 1950s.
This means I need to create lists for the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, and shift some of the titles in the current decades to these earlier ones. Thinking and studying the history of science fiction is one of my retirement hobbies. Working on the Classics of Science Fiction list is about identifying old science fiction books we're worth reading. Working on the decades is about understanding the history of science fiction, and what people read way back when.

What's the S&P 500 Without Its FAANGs?
Given the sheer size of "mega cap stocks"—being Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG & GOOGL), Meta Platforms (FB), Tesla (TSLA), NVIDIA (NVDA), and formerly Netflix (NFLX)—most portfolios carry noteworthy exposure to these companies.
And so it's worth asking: how would the S&P 500, and most of our portfolios, have performed without these Mega Cap Stocks?
In our latest white paper, The Impact of Mega Cap Stocks on Portfolios and the Market, we estimated the leading index's performance without its star constituents to answer that question. For a deeper dive into our findings and even more actionable insights, register for our Thursday, May 12th webinar with Michael Batnick, Director of Research at Ritholtz Wealth Management and co-host of the Animal Spirits podcast.
Download the white paper to read our full findings:
The Effects Excluding Mega Caps Would Have Had on the S&P 500's Historical Performance & Risk Profile
When stripping out the entire cohort of Mega Cap Stocks, the S&P 500's annualized performance in the five-year period ending February 28, 2022 would have fallen to 6.98% from 15.17% annually—a reduction of more than half. The index's standard deviation would have seen an improvement of 4 percentage points, but the lost returns seem to sting more than the reduced volatility.
Individually, excluding any of the nine Mega Cap Stocks (but only eight companies due to Google's two share classes) would have reduced both the performance and volatility of the S&P 500. That said, Netflix (NFLX), Meta Platforms (FB), and Alphabet (GOOGL) would have been missed the least in terms of performance contributed to the overall index. (Note that performance and standard deviation for Alphabet's GOOG share class are identical to GOOGL and are not shown in the scatter plot below.)
Download the Full Report to Learn More
The pattern persists in each full calendar year since 2015. When each Mega Cap Stock is hypothetically excluded from the S&P 500's total return, the index suffers. Notably, 2020's 18.4% total return for the S&P 500 would have been a mere 3.3% had the eight Mega Cap Stocks been excluded, by our calculations.
Only in 2022 (year-to-date, through February 28, 2022) would removing the Mega Cap Stocks have actually boosted the S&P's growth.
So what does this all mean for typical portfolios? How much of an investor's wealth would have been erased had any of these Mega Caps crashed? To what degree do Mega Caps play a role in a portfolio's overall performance and risk?

Rock Isn't Dead, It Just Moved to Canada
By Frank Guan
Photo-Illustration: Art Handler/Karl Walter/Getty Images/Dennis Kleiman/Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images
Where else can you go, if not New York? As the early-aughts New York revival faded to static, the center of gravity in indie rock reverted to its default provincial location: somewhere in the countryside, but not too far away. Suburbs and campuses have always been the genre's traditional spawning grounds: Even in the New York scene, schools provided a vital space for potential band members to coalesce. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs formed in Brooklyn after two of its members met at Oberlin; an NYU philosophy course assisted in the creation of Interpol. The Strokes? Put in touch through a set of elite private high schools, plus NYU. Ultimately, though, the heart of indie music has traditionally resided outside New York. After the early-aughts rock boom went bust, that heart moved all the way out of America.
How the Strokes — and the Early-Aughts New York Rock Boom — Went Bust
It wasn't as if Canadian musicians hadn't been making an impact south of their border for some time: Leonard Cohen, Celine Dion, Alanis Morissette, Nickelback, Sum 41, and Avril Lavigne are just some of the Maple Leaf artists who had found adoring fans and reaped enormous profits Stateside. Canadian indie rock, though — that was a new thing for Americans. The New Pornographers, Metric, Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, the Weakerthans, Japandroids — the relative familiarity of their sound to American ears helped conceal the fact that, collectively, their success amounted to a full-on invasion. Though never announced as such, this (peaceful) offensive met little resistance. One early sign of their ascension came with Arcade Fire's Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Album in 2006. Decisive victory would have to wait a few more years — until the same band won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2011.
What was so different about the Canadians? The instrumentation wasn't that distinct from that of their American counterparts. Was it superior polish? Indie though they were, members of the Canadian brigade carried themselves like professionals, but then again, it wasn't as if aughts indie rock below the 49th parallel (the Decemberists, Bright Eyes, Sufjan Stevens, Iron & Wine) was any less tame or subdued.
Really, the difference-maker was the women. Female singers featured prominently in the output of many of these Canadian groups: Neko Case and Kathryn Calder in the New Pornographers; Emily Haines in Metric; Régine Chassagne in Arcade Fire; Haines, Leslie Feist, Amy Millan, and Lisa Lobsinger in Broken Social Scene. In a decade in indie when, in America, male voices (with the Strokes and Jack White leading the way) seemed to be regaining prominence while many leading women indie artists who'd emerged in the '90s (Liz Phair, Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney) were going either silent or bad, the high concentration of female voices coming from Canada was refreshing and necessary. These singers expanded listeners' notions of what was sensible, sometimes quite directly: "Hard to be soft / Tough to be tender," sang Haines on Metric's 2008 hit "Help I'm Alive." But that's not the whole picture: Culturally or creatively, female freedom never happens in a social vacuum. Why, given so many parallels between Canadian and American indie, didn't a similar reorientation around women occur in the States?
The difference, I think, isn't all that transcendent or magical; like many things Canadian, it's practical, even mundane. There's a broad chasm between the social and economic services provided by the Canadian government to its citizens and those provided by the American state to its own. The distinction is most pronounced in health care, but it's sizable in education and infrastructure too. Take the phrase "public assistance": In America, it conjures up specters of dependence and inadequacy. But the phrase means something different up north: that society has a positive obligation to assist in the creation of a public sphere. In Canada, it is neither shameful nor uncommon for indie musicians to receive government funding for their art.
So is that the lesson — better indie rock through better social safety nets? Not quite, or not entirely. Canadian predominance in indie rock could only take place because the genre as a whole had ceased to innovate. Marginal advantages in polish and coordination, combined with stronger women on the mic, counted for a great deal — especially when taste in indie rock was increasingly dictated by Pitchfork, a website that specialized in hairsplitting calculations, right down to a tenth of a point.
The title of the Strokes' first album, Is This It, was a sigh of exasperated interrogation, the first sign that the music was the output of clever private-school Manhattan kids, bored by being born halfway between third base and home. But you can also read the phrase as an intuition that the development of rock as a whole had become doubtful. Fifteen years later, the question remains as relevant as the album it titles: Is this it for indie rock in New York and elsewhere? For worse or for better, the genre's core audience will likely always be white, semi-precious college students and graduates. If indie rock has a future worth hearing, it will be because it's come to sound the way life after college now feels — deflated, underinsured, underemployed, and not a little angry.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A South African Cabinet minister is apologizing for the sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela's memorial who outraged deaf people worldwide by making signs they said amounted to gibberish.
In the highest-ranking apology yet from the government, Arts and Culture Minister Paul Mashatile said Friday reforms must be implemented to ensure such an incident won't happen again.
Mashatile is sticking to the government's refusal to say who was responsible for hiring the sign interpreter for Tuesday's memorial.
Interpreter Thamsanqa Jantjie says he has been violent in the past and hallucinated during the memorial service as he was gesturing incoherently just 3 feet away from U.S. President Barack Obama and other leaders.
A deputy minister, Hendrietta Bogopane-Zulu, first apologized for the incident Thursday.
Mandela died Dec. 5 at age 95.

Frank O'Connor award goes to Ron Rash'Incredibly well-wrought' short-story collection, Burning Bright, takes €35,000 prize
Alison Flood guardian.co.uk, Monday 20 September 2010

Ron Rash's "bleak" collection of short stories set in Appalachia, Burning Bright, has won the American author the world's richest prize for the short story form, the Frank O'Connor award.
Ranging from the American civil war to the present day, and from the story of a pawnshop owner who intervenes when his nephew throws his parents out of their house to fund his meth addiction, to the portrait of the wife of a Lincoln sympathiser in Confederate territory, Rash's collection Burning Bright was named winner of the €35,000 (£29,000) award in Cork last night. He beat a line-up of five other authors – including the acclaimed writer TC Boyle and three debut authors – to take the prize, which honours renowned short story writer Frank O'Connor.
"I guess I know how it feels to win a beauty pageant now," said Rash, whose former books include the bestselling Serena, set in depression-era North Carolina, this morning. "It was a great feeling, a real honour. I write novels and poems as well but the short story is my favourite form."
Judge Nadine O'Regan, arts and books editor for the Sunday Business Post, said that Burning Bright was "technically absolutely beautiful – incredibly well-wrought". "It's a very understated collection of short stories in many respects. He tends to compress an awful lot into his sentences, and says an awful lot in a very distilled way," she said.
"It's a bleak collection, very bleak, but he has such attention to detail and is a real storyteller, a real craftsman."
Although many of the stories in the collection are set in the past, the judging panel "felt the themes still really resonated", she added. "A lot of the characters in the stories are victims of circumstance, stuck trying to navigate a path through life which is virtually impossible. And we thought that in today's world, with the recession, people losing jobs, the stories resonated through the decades and said something to us on the judging panel about the inevitability of the path life can take when you're caught in the grip of something much larger than you are."

Your brain only knows one way to react to stress, regardless of the type of stress or where it comes from. As human beings, we are wired to handle stress in short bursts, even if its very intense, and then recover just as quickly. This was how humans survived predators for thousands of years. In today's modern society, we are all living under constant, low levels of stress (waking up to an alarm, traffic, getting the kids ready for school, work schedules, etc). These low-level stressors accumulate as physical issues over time and lead to the most common diseases plaguing human beings. We cannot avoid stress in our world – family, work, alarms, they will not just "stop". So what can we do to change the relationship we have with these stresses and avoid succumbing to their negative outcomes? The first step is to become more aware of what stressors exist in your life.
There are three main categories of stress: Physical, Chemical, and Emotional.
This is your car accident, sports injury, slip and fall, concussion, birth trauma for the mother and infant. You know when these happen as they occur with inflammation and immediate pain.
These are your lifestyle habits; sitting for work and your commute, walking and standing with poor posture, texting and using a cellphone or a laptop with your head down, being overweight and even sleeping on a soft bed, or in the same position night after night for years. You may not notice the immediate impact of these stressors, but one day, seemingly out of nowhere, your body will tell you it won't maintain it anymore by sending you signals – the one being the most severe is usually pain.
This is what you put into your mouth or on your skin, or what you don't.
Too much of coffee, sugar, gluten, dairy, food dyes, GMO foods, red meat, and/or not enough variety in your diet is a chemical stress to your brain and body. A lack of water (dehydration is the most common chemical stress), prescription and over-the-counter medications, not enough nutrients due to a poor diet, and a lack of vitamins and essential nutrients to help the body heal are also all chemical stressors that impact us negatively. All of our unique programs include individualized nutrition and supplementation advice, or a referral to someone who specializes in assessing and treating your specific chemical stressors. We work closely as a team to uncover your chemical stressors and help you to improve in these areas of your life.
Emotional stress can have a major impact on your brain and body health. You have work, family, children, friends, parents, etc. who rely on you. You also have your relationship with self-stress (are you your own best friend or worst enemy), commuter stress, lack of sleep stress, health stress, financial stress and many more. Negative thoughts can rob you of your health and happiness and we are here to help change that. The article titled Chronic Stress Can Damage Brain Structure and Connectivity (Psychology Today, February 2014) documents the research out of Berkley, California. It states that "chronic stress triggers long-term changes in brain structure and function". The findings from this study explain why young people who are exposed to chronic stress early in life are prone to mental problems such as anxiety and mood disorders later in life, as well as learning difficulties. The researchers established that elevated levels of cortisol (our stress hormone) in adolescence change the expression of numerous genes linked to mental illness in some people. They found that these changes in young adulthood—which is a critical time for brain development—could cause mental illness (depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD). It is never to early to have an evaluation and it is never too late because change, or neuroplasticity – the ability of our brain to create new patterns and connections, can happen at any age.
Why does stress and cortisol cause such havoc?
Once the alarm to release cortisol has sounded, your body becomes mobilized and ready for action—but there has to be a physical release of fight or flight to help balance and recover from this release. Are you racing down the streets screaming after your boss gives you a new deadline? Most likely not; thus, cortisol starts to build up in your blood. Ironically, our own biology—which was designed to ensure our survival as hunters and gatherers—is sabotaging our bodies and minds in our current sedentary and digital age.
Cortisol is believed to create a domino effect that wires pathways between the areas of our brain that control and handle stress in a way that might create a vicious cycle by creating a brain that becomes predisposed to be in a constant state of fight-or-flight.
Our integrative team works together to measure bio-markers of elevated levels of stress and, using the latest technology to measure Heart Rate Variability, we will assess if you are stuck in a chronic fight-flight/survival response that will dictate your individual care plan.


Hi all, I'm new to the forum, and my name is Bert. Though new I have owned a Squeezebox v3 from the time they were originally released... many years now. Well after moving and mothballing my device, I recently recovered it from storage, and realized it no longer connects.
So, my first question.. what can I do to breath life into this device?

Alumnus Andy Stumpf Named 2021 Illinois Middle School Principal of the Year
Andy Stumpf enrolled in college as a defensive end with plans to tackle a career in farming, but instead he called an audible that led to pay dirt.
"As part of our volunteer activities, I did some reading at a local elementary school," he said. "I really enjoyed it and already had a passion for football. I thought coaching and teaching would be a great way to get into it."
Now, Stumpf is the principal at Winchester Elementary/Junior High School in Illinois. He graduated from the Master of Science in Education in Educational Administration at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) in 2013.
"The district where I was working at the time posted a curriculum coordinator position," he said. "You could apply without your master's degree in administration, but you would have to get it in so many months. I started the cohort late, doubled up on classes and got it done in 18 months."
It's a good thing he did. After embarking on a career in administration, Stumpf was named the Two Rivers Region and State Middle School Principal of the Year by the Illinois Principals Association for 2021.
"I was selected to go on to Washington D.C. for the national principal of the year contest," he said. "It was postponed because of COVID-19. I wasn't one of the three finalists they announced, but it's still pretty cool to be one of the top 50 principals in the country.
"One of the big reasons I won the award was because of the school where I work and the building leadership team, which helped me move to the next level."
Stumpf was born in Calhoun County, Illinois, and raised in Carrollton. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in elementary education and teaching at Monmouth College after a successful playing career for the Fighting Scots in 2004.
"I happened to see the master's degree program in administration at SIUE," he said. "We had a cohort that took the classes at a high school. I was taking some leadership roles as a teacher at the time. I was also a coach and a volunteer firefighter."
Taking night classes helped Stumpf fit school into his busy schedule. He has five children — Ella (16), Charlie (14), Maggie (10), Avelyn (7) and Atticus (5) — and a fiancée, Letta.
"There were a lot of great things that I learned in the master's degree program at SIUE," he said. "I especially enjoyed the School Law course. There are so many different aspects to the legal side of education.
"One of our main professors was a retired Alton High principal. She provided a lot of insight and real-life examples of things she had gone through. It was a tremendous help knowing someone had been in the trenches for many years teaching us their ways before we got there."
After a stint as a junior and senior high principal at Brussels Community Unit School District 42 for two years, Stumpf landed his current position prior to the 2016-17 school year.
"I have been here for six years, and I love what I do," he said. "It was a great move. I still enjoy working with kids."
Earning a master's degree was extra special for Stumpf because he is the first person in his immediate family to earn an advanced degree.
"My family and friends were very excited," he said. "They've always been supportive in whatever I decided to do. They are still supportive because I spend a lot of hours and days and weekends away."
Although a career in farming did not come to fruition, Stumpf still enjoys the best of both worlds while living in his home state.
"We have a family farm that I enjoy spending time on," he said. "It's been in the family for many generations. I also enjoy hunting and other outdoor activities."
With several years of experience, a master's degree and a pair of big awards under his belt, Stumpf is eager to take on a new challenge in his career.
"I hope to start superintendent courses in the near future, with the goal of being a superintendent before I retire," he said. "It's exciting."
Stumpf believes that returning to higher education paved the way for his success as an administrator — and is still paying dividends today.
"I absolutely got great value out of the program at SIUE," he said. "I still stay in touch today with a lot of the good people I worked with in the classes. They help me out as much as possible. It was a great program."

Confirmed victory
Murders at Camp 38:Seeking Justice for the Murder of A Mother & Her Cubs
This petition made change with 4,186 supporters!
Aditya Shakalya started this petition to Wildlife Conservationists and 3 others
This is a petition to recognize the high frequency of unnatural Tiger Deaths in India, the apparent indifference of the forest department in dealing with the matter, and a demand for justice and punishment for those under whose watch the beloved Tigress 'Baghin-Nala' and her 2, 7 month old cubs were poisoned in Pench Tiger Reserve on 28th March 2016.
Our Demand
To set up an INDEPENDENT, HIGH-LEVEL INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE to look into the matter with priority. This investigating committee must include individuals who have been working in the interest of conserving wildlife for years and must NOT INCLUDE the forest officials from Pench as they were the office bearers in the region where the incident took place.
We also request that the investigation is completed swiftly in no more than 30 DAYS, the decision is shared openly with the public, the murderers are punished, and the officers under whose watch this ghastly incident took place are suspended so as to set a precedent for similar cases that are occurring throughout the country.
In the first 3 months of 2016 alone 26 Tigers across the country have been reported dead (9 Tigers a month!). The number only includes confirmed deaths and not 'missing tigers'. Shockingly! In Pench Tiger Reserve the numbers spike to a dozen Tiger Deaths in the past 8 months. The reasons range from electrocution to poisoning. In most cases, it is found that the concerned authorities spend more time in trying to wash their hands off the responsibility than in planning and setting measures to create a safer environment for the animals (not just tigers).
Murder by Numbers in Pench TR
Below are some deaths recorded in Pench in the past few months
1. July-Aug 2015- Death of a tigress in Khawasa, Mudia Reeth
2. 15 Aug 2015- Death of a tigress and her cubs in core area adjacent to village Potia
3. 27 Nov 2015- Death of a tiger from electrocution in the Buffer zone near village Dundayer, Ghat Kohka
4. 2 Jan 2016- Death of a tiger by falling in a boundary-less well in a field in village Simaria
5. 3 Jan 2016- Death of a tiger in Deolapaar Range
6. 7 Jan 2016- A tiger electrocuted in a field in Jamtara Range
7. 29 Jan 2016- Death of a tiger in Gumtara Range, Palashpaani Beat
8. 1 Feb 2016- Death of a tiger in the core area of Gumtara Range
9. 28 Mar 2016- Death of a tigress and her 2 7 month old cubs in the Baghin-Nala core area
Besides these recorded deaths there are various incidences of well known and frequently sighted tigers who go missing and are never seen again or credibly accounted for by the forest department.
Story of Mass Murder
On 28th March 2016, various tourists entering through the Touria Gate of the famous Pench Tiger Reserve in MP noticed the darling Tigress and a mother of 4 young cubs lying at a distance from the road. She was in her territory and guests were thrilled to click a sleeping tigress from such a close distance. The excitement turned to shock when during the exit hours few drivers of the tourist vehicles realized that she was lying in the exact position as before and was highly unusual. The kids who always accompanied her were not around and a stranger was captured on a phone-cam on FOOT (it is illegal for outsiders to get off their vehicles once inside the core area, and loitering is prohibited) clicking the tigress from a dangerously close distance.The authorities were immediately informed by the concerned witnesses as they feared (rightly so) that the tigress was dead.
Soon it was confirmed that the dead tigress was indeed T-17 a.k.a The Baghin-Nala Female, daughter of legendary 'Badi Mada' who was the subject of the BBC Documentary titled Spy in the Jungle, and sister of the illustrious T-15 commonly known as 'Collarwali'. It was past tourist hours and the park gates were shut. The authorities refused to answer questions or confirm death. When they could no longer deny death of one of the most loved tigresses of the park, an entertaining but cooked up story was floated that a new male was being seen in the area and it is possible that he killed the tigress in a fight.
The next morning of the 29th when I, along with the other concerned locals went to the gate, the senior officers refused to meet us on the pretext of being caught up in the case while the subordinates continued being rude and inconsiderate. Disheartened with such a response, the gypsy drivers(responsible for taking guests inside the area for a ride) and guides refused to enter the park for the morning rides. Realizing that this could snowball into a crisis, the Field Director agreed to meet us. Once pressurized by the village elders, he complied and took some of us along to show the rapidly rotting body of T-17. The once beautiful tigress was bloated, with flies all over, and there were clear trail of froth coming out of her mouth, a certain sign of foul play; but we waited and hoped that the officials will be forthright in their analysis. As shocked and grief stricken as we were, we insisted on seeing the autopsy so that we could see the signs of what we feared-POISONING. However our demands were turned down on flimsy ground that "the national animal cannot be cut open in front of strangers". It was at this moment that we were sure that the forest authorities had internally confirmed that it was a case of poisoning and were using their position to blindside us.
The second most important question was about the well being of the cubs, which were entertained with platitudes and standard automated replies of investigation being underway.
Dissatisfied and cheated, we left the scene without signing the report that said that we had witnessed the autopsy and informed hundreds of others who were anxiously waiting outside the gates.
In the hours that followed, decaying bodies of 2 of the cubs were also discovered. The crowd was sad and angry and wanted answers, but at that moment the officers had none.
For the entire past month, the locals had noticed movement of heavy machinery and tractors inside the restricted area of the park through a lesser known, and less frequented route. On asking the Field Director about the role of those vehicles inside the core area, he brushed it aside and maintained that it was legal to use such vehicles in the area where tigers resided and that he had given the permission to 'repair' a 4Kilometer stretch of road inside the park while simultaneously deepening a water body that was standard procedure.
It was obvious that these outsiders who were living inside the park had something to do with the deaths and we demanded to see the register in which the names and details of all the workers were listed so that we could help the authorities in catching the culprit. We were in for a rude shock, when first the officials refused to share the details with us; on insistence and sensing the rising anger, the Ranger agreed to share the register in the evening; but when we went to the gate for the same the said officer was missing and the Field Director conveniently obfuscated the demand. Later it was discovered that no such register ever existed and that no logs were ever created to record the entry and exit hours of the workforce.
On the same day, 29th of March 2016 various dead bodies of Spotted Deer, and other birds were discovered thus confirming poisoning of one of the water sources inside the park. This assumption of ours was bolstered when one of the water bodies that existed close to where the tigress had died was immediately filled and an identical water body was dug up at a little distance.
To display their efficiency 3 innocent villagers were detained for over 48 hours (detention over 24 hours is unlawful), beaten (another unlawful act), coaxed (to name anybody if they wanted to be released), and made to sign blank papers before release which only happened when the wives and family members of the detained men threatened to commit suicide.
5 days have passed now, and life in Pench, a primarily rural region where almost everybody relies on wildlife for livelihood, has still not attained normalcy. But before we forget all this, and move on, the following questions need to be answered:
1. Who sanctioned the use of heavy machinery inside the protected area of a Tiger Reserve when the laws clearly state that all the work inside the core areas must be done manually, thus avoiding noise that disturbs the resident species of animals?
2. Why was it necessary to use earth shaking machinery to deepen a dried up water body in an area that shelters a mother with 4 young cubs, and disturbing the movement pattern of a very secretive animal who these officers have been assigned to protect?
3. Why were records of outsiders who had been working inside the protected area for a month not created and maintained?
4. Why were these laborers from far off villages permitted to sleep inside the highly sensitive area of the forest despite knowing that it would be impossible to keep a tab on the movement of all of them (over 50 employees) throughout the day?
5. Why was nobody allowed to witness the postmortem of the tigress?
6. Why has no action been taken against the guards of Camp 38 around which the deaths occurred?
7. Why were local villagers detained while those working inside were held with kid gloves?
8. When will a high-level inquiry committee be created to inquire into this case of gross oversight and deaths due to carelessness?
9. Who would be the members in the committee?
10. When will the action be taken on the senior officers who are responsible for running such a shoddy show?
Tourism & Conservation
There exists a misconception behind the silos of the forest department that tourism is detrimental to conservation and must be discouraged. As somebody from the leisure industry, I can confidently refute this derisive point of view.
With easy availability of high end cameras with excellent specifications, the number of passionate wildlife enthusiasts and photographers has grown manifold. These tourists spend thousands to visit national parks and tiger reserves to observe animals in their natural habitat. The forest department must condition itself to view tourists as their friends and not enemies. As it is impossible to spot every single corner of dense forest, the authorities must learn to view those entering the park as eyes and ears that are quick to spot any kind of irregularity going on inside. In the current case, if not for the driver, and the guide, the news of T-17's death would never have come to light.
These vehicle drivers, guides, and learned guests who enter parks often are best witnesses of the location of tigers in the park and are the first to spot irregularities. The guides must in fact be trained better to keep an eye on things from a patrolling perspective and any proactive report or vigilance must be encouraged and rewarded. This will increase the security of our beloved forests manifold without a considerable rise in the cost for the department.
Why the Petition?
It is painful and frustrating to see that those associated with the forest and tiger conservation are unable to utilize the funds rightly and waste them in unnecessary beautification of buildings and gates and projects that are irrelevant to conservation. Let's not forget that with a modern tourism infrastructure, reach of social media platforms, and a rising interest in wildlife tourism, the Tiger Reserves are generating great revenues and have no dearth of money that might have restricted the authorities from creating systems to protect those very animals that are earning them their salaries.
I hope that this petition will help in meting out justice to the murderers of a beautiful tigers and her cubs who wiped out the entire blood line in one unfathomably barbaric and reckless act.

Oddsmakers and fans alike can parse reams of statistics for Monday's football championship between the University of Georgia Bulldogs and the Alabama Crimson Tide.
But one on-the-field stat that neither team has revealed is the number of concussions sustained by its student athletes.
The AJC sought concussion data from 62 Division I, II and III and found that about 1 in 6 athletic programs do not count student-athlete concussions by sport, even though such data collection could lead to better safety protocols for their athletes.
UGA said they kept concussion numbers for a time as part of a grant proposal, but stopped five years ago. Alabama said they kept the data — but declined to release it.
