When stranded on a desert island, if you could only have a single command in your operating system, what would it be and how would you use it?
Yes, it's a dilemma that has no doubt puzzled philosophers for ages. I'd like to weigh in on it, and see Hal's thoughts on the matter as well.
For my Windows usage, I'd have to go with WMIC, the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-Line tool. While it's just a command, it opens up whole worlds to us for interacting with our Windows boxen. Built-into Windows XP Pro and later, WMIC can be used to query information from machines and update it using a syntax known as the WMIC Query Language (WQL), which I described in an article a while back.
Those are the things I most often use WMIC for: interacting with services, processes, and user accounts based on variations of those commands. I've written a lot about WMIC in the past, but I've come up with some new uses for it that I'd like to talk about here. And, getting back to our little desert island fantasy... I mean... scenario, let's talk about some additional WMIC use cases.
C:\> wmic bios list full | find /i "vmware"
VMware detection, in a single command! I'm sure the babes will like that one. Here, I'm querying the bios of my Windows machine, looking for the string "VMware" in a case-insensitive fashion (/i). If you see output, you are running inside a VMware guest machine. Also, you'll get the serial number of that VMware install, which might be useful to you.
Note that the path to the directory in this one must use \\ in place of each backslash. The first backslash is an escape, and the second is the real backslash. You have to do this for any where clauses of wmic that have a backslash in them. Also, note that fsdir works only for directories, not files. Still, that should help you crack the case of the missing coconut cream pie!
There are thousands of other uses for WMIC, which can be explored by simply running "wmic /?". As you can see, it is an ideal tool for an intrepid geek in a tropic island nest.
No phone! No lights! No motor cars!
When Ed proposed this question I thought it was kind of unfair for me to get to choose a command plus have all the functionality of the Unix shell. And that got me thinking, just how much could I accomplish using the shell itself with no other external commands? This is not as idle a question as it might first appear: there have been times when I've had to recover hosed systems without much more than the built-in functionality in my shell.
First let's inventory our resources. Built into the bash shell we have cd for navigating the directory tree, echo and printf for outputting data, read for reading in data, and a few miscellaneous commands like kill, umask, and ulimit. We also have several different kinds of loops and conditional statements, plus the test operator for doing different kinds of comparisons. This actually turns out to be a lot of functionality.
I'm using printf to output the data in columns (though you'll note that my columns sort left to right rather than up and down like the normal ls command), and a counter variable $i to output a newline after the fourth column.
We can also use this idiom as a simple version of the cp command by just redirecting the output into a new file. Unfortunately, there's no unlink operator built into the shell, so I can't do either rm or mv (though you can use ">file" to zero-out a file). There's also no way to do the ln command in the shell, nor to emulate commands like chown, chmod, and touch that update the meta-data associated with a file.
After every 23 lines, I use the read command to display the "More: " prompt and wait for the user to hit newline. Since I'm going to be reading the user's input on the standard input, I have to read the file the user wants to view on a different file descriptor. At the end of the loop I'm associating the /etc/passwd file with file descriptor 3, and at the top of the loop I use "read -u 3" to read my input from this file descriptor. Thank you bash, and your amazingly flexible output redirection routines.
In the first loop I'm using an array as a circular buffer to hold the last 10 lines read. After the first loop exhausts the file, I use a second loop to output the lines stored in the array.
Yep, the middle, nested loops are actually a selection sort implemented in the shell. You'll notice that the sort here is an alphabetic sort. We could produce a numeric sort using "-lt" instead of "<" inside the "[[ ... ]]" clause in the innermost loop.
This is obviously skirting pretty close to our "no scripting" rule, but I actually was able to type this in on the command line. I suspect that there may be information available under /proc that would also enable me to emulate some functionality of other commands like netstat and ifconfig, and possibly even df, but this episode is already getting too long.
Specify a directory and the traverse function will walk the entire directory tree, calling the filetest function you define on each object it finds. If the filetest function resolves to true, then traverse will echo the pathname of the object it called filetest on. In the example above, filetest is true if the object is a directory, so our example is similar to "find /etc -type d".

This error usually appears because the signature verification checking for the Anti-Malware driver failed. The Anti-Malware component uses WINAPI for checking the digital signature and this process failed due to a certificate chain that could not be built to a trusted root authority.
The reason for this is the outdated root and intermediate certificates in the server.
Normally, this can be resolved by doing a Windows Update. However, since Microsoft has already discontinued Windows 2003, Windows Update for this version is no longer available.
On the affected agent machine, download the rootsupd.exe file.
Unzip the file using the password "novirus".
Create a folder c:\temp and extract the files using the command "rootsupd.exe /c /t:C:\temp\extroot". If it prompts that folder doesn't exist, manually create c:\temp\extroot.
Manually import the Trend Micro certificates again to build the certification chain for the OS to recognize the signature of our drivers. Follow this article for the complete procedure: Updating the Comodo certificate on Deep Security.

Very interesting, Ron Nasty. I'm sure the court was impressed by Dylan's presentable penmanship...
All seriousness aside (as Steve Allen used to say), the sentiments therein seem to me to be rather surprisingly trite and high school.

I suppose it's the bit that such letters were written as much to appear in Village Voice as they were in the FBI Copy of the Court Record.

Thanks. No Direction Home is brilliant so I'm looking forward to this one.
I mentioned in another thread that I've just read the memoir of Bob's road manager, Victor Maymudes, Another Side of Bob Dylan. I also mentioned there that it offers an account of the infamous Delmonico Hotel meeting on 28 August 1964 that differs in respects to the established version which has been, largely, based on the memories of the Beatles side of the event.
Victor was working on the memoir at the time of his death in 2001, having recently secured a publishing deal based on his chapter - this chapter - recalling Bob, the Beatles, and August/September 1964. He'd recorded around 24 hours of tape preparing for the writing of the book, and his son, Jacob, returned to the tapes after over a decade since his father's death to pull the book together, seeing it published in 2014.
The chapter begins with Bob and Victor setting out from Bearsville, upstate New York, for the prearranged meeting (Bob's manager, Albert Grossman, lived in Bearsville and without a home of his own at the time, Bob spent a lot of his free time staying at Albert's). It then steps back to look at their thoughts, impressions and knowledge of the Beatles at that time, before picking up on their journey to the Delmonico Hotel.
The Beatles were playing the Forest Hills Stadium that night, and didn't get on stage until around 9:50pm, which makes it unlikely - given the Beatles were back in their suite to receive Dylan and his entourage - that the meet-up began much before 11pm at the earliest. But, before they reached the Beatles suite, they had to get through the security surrounding them:
Reveal Spoiler
That night of August 28 was the big night. The Beatles were in town staying at the Delmonico Hotel. On our way to Manhattan, we stopped by Al Aronowitz's house in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. He was hosting Allen Ginsberg and his boyfriend, Peter Orlovsky, for dinner when we arrived. Al wrapped up his dinner party and jumped in the car with us, and we all headed for the Delmonico. On the way, Al told us of his plan to turn the Beatles on to pot. Al was a great believer in the enlightening power of marijuana. He considered pot a wonder drug, nourishment for the brain, the consummate head food. He had the zeal of a convert and wanted to share what had transformed his own psychic experience. The Beatles had been wary of it in Europe, but Al had convinced them to open up their minds. He believed that our influence would make it happen.
We parked three blocks away on this quiet street and Al jumped out and left us all sitting in the car. He walked off to the hotel and we waited close to an hour. He returned with the Beatles' public relations guy, Derek Taylor, who turned out to be a fabulous guy – a truly great guy who was with the Beatles from the beginning. We all got out and started walking.
New York City seemed serene and beautiful that night; we were surrounded by huge, towering buildings all around. You could see shadows from the streetlights dancing off the windows in an endless, dizzying display of reflections. It was also very quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. As we got closer, we started to hear what sounded like an ocean. Continuous noise. Like white noise from a television. We turned a corner onto Park Avenue and there was this huge crowd. We couldn't believe it. It was like a crisis had happened. There were people behind barricades on both sides of the street and cops on horses walking up and down Park Avenue. People were everywhere; I had never witnessed such madness.
Nobody recognized Bob Dylan either, which is an interesting thing to note considering he was surrounded by a sea of people, most of whom knew who he was. I can explain it like this: Bob can walk and look unlike Bob. He hunches over, he softens his body, curls his shoulders and walks so innocuously that you don't pay attention to him. I walk in front of him, so I block a lot of what people can see of his face and his body. He gets in step with me so we're real close, like synchronized military walking. Later on, in the venues around the world where you have to exit out the front of the venue, we would use this same technique. And it worked! Even when we walking through a crowd of people that had just watched him onstage. Nobody would ever recognize him.
Derek Taylor led the way to the Delmonico Hotel; he had all the credentials and papers. We made it through the first barricade and approached the second one, where cops and security guards were stationed ten feet apart. There must have been a hundred cops there. We got to the second barricade and Derek showed the credentials again. I didn't have any documents; neither did Bob or Al Aronowitz. Derek yells at the top of his lungs, "These guys are with me!" He repeats this over and over. "These guys are with me!" I don't think the cops heard him over the noise of the crowd but they seemed to understand and let us pass.
We walked up to the hotel, which we had to enter one at a time through a revolving door. Derek went through, Al went through, Bob went through and then I went through. We had just gotten inside the lobby, when suddenly I felt a hand on the back of my jacket, on my shoulder like someone was going to ask me a question. I went through the regular door over the first barricade head-first on my back and was thrown into the crowd! Before I could blink an eye, I was back outside in the middle of the braying masses. It happened in an instant. I was thinking, Oh, fuck! I'm going to get arrested; I'm holding all the pot! People were staring down at me and the scene was a mess. I heard someone yelling over me, I looked up and it was Derek Taylor, screaming, "He's with me! He's with me!" They helped me up and dragged me back inside. I was extremely shaken up, my heart pounding at the walls of my chest. I was hurting a little bit, but luckily I still had all the pot in my pocket.
We proceeded to the elevator and headed up to the top floor. There was a cop in front of every door going down the hallway, all sitting in chairs in front of the doors. It was like the president was staying on the floor – totally locked down. We got to the suite where the Beatles were; everyone else was at the other end of the hallway, in another suite. Every celebrity you could imagine was down the hallway, including friends of mine – Peter, Paul and Mary and their road manager, Tom Law.
It offers a great glimpse of, even if you're with one of the Beatles' inner circle and Bob Dylan, how the levels of security around the Beatles were not easy to get through.
We then enter the Beatles' suite:
Derek, Al, Bob and I entered the amber-painted suite. Pitched against one wall was an overstuffed couch upholstered in navy blue. Against the opposite wall was a dining room table covered with stemware and ice and every kind of liquor. In the center of the room stood a glass coffee table and a few more plain wooden chairs. Brian Epstein and the four of them were waiting for us. They looked just like the pictures. Their hair was not long but neatly trimmed, combed down in their mop-top cuts. They were extremely clean and youthful looking, without a trace of facial hair. They dressed in gray collarless suits and skinny black ties, white shirts and black leather boots with a seam that ran down the middle to the pointy toes. They looked sharp, like perfect mod gentlemen. We were in jeans, T-shirts and leather jackets, looking scraggly and relaxed, the image of laid-back American youth in every James Dean movie. Bob was still wearing his motorcycle boots. Of course, they were on tour but we weren't, but the different styles went beyond that. At that time, Bob wouldn't have worn a suit like theirs, even if he played for the Queen of England. An ocean yawned between us, but it didn't take us long to cross it.
Al Aronowitz introduced me. They didn't need to be introduced to Bob, nor he to them. Bob extended his traditional limp handshake and each shook it in turn. Then they shook mine. John lit a cigarette and as they always did afterwards, offered another to everyone in the room. They were smoking American cigarettes; Bob and I accepted one to be polite even though we had our own. Al told them what had happened to me in front of the hotel, and they could see I was still a little rattled from it. They were very kind to me, asking if I was feeling all right. I checked again to make sure the pot was still in my pocket and told them I was fine.
At first Bob said very little. He cannot talk to a group of people except from the stage, and that's hardly a conversation. It's a monologue. John Lennon was the same way, both wordsmiths who got tongue-tied speaking to small groups. But Bob turned his smile on them, and the Beatles answered with their own happy charisma, the five of them eyeing each other like bashful kids at a dance. Bob made an effort to talk to them, answering their questions. We talked about guitars and about music, but only superficially. Their banter was very funny as they talked about people at the party down the hall and exchanged cryptic lines about New York.
Aronowitz saw his chance to spread the psychedlic gospel and asked the Beatles, "You wanna get high?"
They did. Bob took the marijuana from me and pulled up a wooden chair next to the glass coffee table in the middle of the room. He wanted to show them he knew his stuff – he tried to roll a joint and it fell to pieces in his hands, scattering pot over a bowl of fruit sitting on the table. I sat down next to him and took the pot away from him so that I could roll joints, as I usually did. The four Beatles were walking around the room, very animated, and excited about what was about to happen. They were wired, running on coffee and adrenaline from touring.
Bob grabbed a drink while I rolled a joint. When he came back to the coffee table, I lit it with a match and passed it to him. Bob took a hit and passed it to John, who then handed it to Ringo without putting it to his lips. "You try it," John told Ringo. Ringo hesitated. John called him his "royal pot taster" and then Ringo did as John commanded. He held it like a cigarette between his fingers, taking one deep drag after another. He didn't know the proper etiquette of pot: to pass it on to John, who was sitting next to him, patiently waiting his turn.
I wasn't going to tell him to pass it because we just met, so I just rolled one for John. He lit up the joint and didn't pass it either! So I rolled another one for Paul and then again for George. I kept rolling joints till everyone had their own except Bob. He just had alcohol and took a few hits here and there but not a whole joint like the rest of us. Bob had a couple of drinks and within an hour, he passed out on the floor! By this time, Paul was laughing so hard that tears were streaming out of his eyes. This was their very first encounter and Bob passed out! This wasn't entirely because of the booze either. We were up all the time; he was exhausted. He might have been up nonstop the three days beforehand. But the booze didn't help; it shoots you up and then crashes you down.
With Bob sleeping on the floor, one by one John, Paul, George and Ringo talked to me. We discussed life and politics. They wanted to know about everyone and everything: who was in our scene, what it was like in New York. I couldn't believe how sensitive and aware of everybody they were. How concerned they were, whether I was okay. I was never made to feel inferior to them.
A little side note about the Beatles smoking pot: That first night wasn't actually their first time trying it, like eveyone believes. They had tried it before but they didn't get high. The stuff they had was cheap and low quality. They knew about hash, that kind of stuff was more popular in Europe. But until that night, they never had the rush. They'd never laughed till tears rolled down their faces.
The following morning, Paul came up to me and hugged me for ten minutes and said, "It was so great, and it's all your fault! It's all your fault because I love this pot!" He went into his thoughts on music while on it and how it made him feel. Ringo also came to me and said, "Is this the thing I have to be smoking now for the rest of my life, to enjoy a feeling like that?" I responded with, "Yeah, unfortunately it doesn't stay with you. You have to keep doing it."
Later that morning John talked to me about the other Americans he had met so far. Before Bob and I met him, he was in Texas, where he met a rancher who owned two million acres of land. He said to me, "What does a guy want with two million acres? The gentleman was so proud too!" We talked about the stupidity of excess, how accumulating wealth can be an addiction of its own. You see, John's social-political awareness was in its infancy. I was very in tune with progressive politics at the time, due to my upbringing and my parents' political activity. This was the beginning of many conversations with John about U.S. and world politics. We also touched on the relationship between politics and music.
We discussed black singers and black music; he was very interested in the blues. The blues were really coming into the scene. Even Bob played the blues. That was no secret. Bob basically played simple twelve-bar blues, and some people thought at this time that he only knew one song mechanically. He insisted, however, that he only knew the structure and chords of five songs and all else was a spin-off or continuation. Our conversation continued in this vein: we talked about everything, flitting from subject to subject.
John explained how the doctors had already got to him. How they had given him and the other guys open access to pills and various pharmaceuticals. Every type, you name it. They had handfuls of pills in their room – uppers and downers. I mean, handfuls that the doctors had downloaded on them. I instantly put the doctors down and proceed to explain my philosophy on the medical industry. To me they were the enemy, overmedicating and pushing pills as the only course of remedy. And in these situations they can be overzealous from the celebrity interaction, going beyond what's necessary to impress or befriend. Just like drug dealers would hand out drugs to artists backstage, doctors played the same role for the same reasons. I watched it happen and on a few occasions, I took advantage of it too. But I believed they were the enemy then, and I do to this day. Not all doctors, but that mentality – always enabling patients to take pills, especially celebrities, giving them unbridled access to shit they don't need. John said this was the first time he had ever heard someone talk like that about doctors. It opened him up to the idea that what they were prescribing could be excessive.
Around midday I was walking around the suite and I went to the window to check out the scene, to see the madness below. The room was six floors up and I looked over the window's edge down at Park Avenue. I saw the crowd below, and all of a sudden, the roar knocked me back. The noise was so great, it forced me away from the window. It felt like the crowd could come right in! And we were six floors up! It was a surreal experience because they all thought I was one of the Beatles. I looked at Bob and told him to try it out. He walked up to the window and, sure enough, the same thing happened: huge screams, a tidal wave of noise. We were laughing and carrying on with it, one by one we all did it. All the guys, each one of us, kept going back. We could control the level of noise; it was like we were making a song. Roaring cheers then subtle cheers, then roaring cheers, then subtle cheers. At the end we all went up together and the people went bananas! I thought the glass was going to shatter, it was so loud.
At one point after our window gag, George came to me and mentioned that none of his roadies knew what to do when things got a little out of hand, when things started to fall apart. He started this conversation because he saw me check it all out. I'm a restless guy and my nature was to check it all out – the whole scene, wherever we were, whatever we were doing. I was good at being aware of my environment, avoiding problems and solving them should they arise. George saw this in me and mentioned that his guys were not professional, that they were new guys, and that level of fame and touring was new to them. The thing is, I'd already had years of experience with this, years of experience promoting concerts. This was my world. George noticed that and appreciated it. This was the foundation of our friendship, this sort of respect for how we each operated. Over the years George and I would grow closer and remain good friends.
It's interesting that Victor doesn't have them all retreating to a bedroom/bathroom (depending on the account); that he doesn't have Brian partaking that night, let alone have him reacting badly (despite Beatle accounts); that Bob was passed out on the floor within little more than an hour of them entering the suite (contrary to Beatle accounts); and that they were there into the afternoon of the 29th (I've always just assumed they stumbled out of the Beatles' suite in the early hours, giggling their way past the policemen all in a row).
He then talks about going with Bob to see them at the Paramount Theatre in New York on 20 September, their last stop of the tour, before suggesting a meeting later in the week which involved them smoking again. This is impossible as they flew home on the 21st, so I would suggest this probably happened after their show at the Paramount on the 20th:
Bob and I were at a hotel with the Beatles by the airport in Brooklyn. Brian Epstein was hanging out with us now, mainly because the schmoozing was over and it was just the guys, Bob and me. All the other celebrities and industry people had left. John and Paul talked Brian into getting stoned, so he had a couple of hits and then went bananas! He was instantly in the corner freaking out and telling people to leave him alone. He went nuts; he was an extremely insecure guy and the pot exposed that.
Pot is a curious thing like that; it can either help you or expose your inner demons. I couldn't imagine the pressure he had at the time, being gay in the sixties. At that point being gay in England and Wales was a criminal offense! It was things like that that drove him to coping mechanisms like prescription drugs, which he had open access to. Ultimately he died from an overdose of sleeping pills. It was an incredibly sad moment for everyone in our circle.
After Brian calmed down that night, we gathered our things and headed out to the limousines to drive to dinner. After we ate we were packing into the two limousines we had: Albert, Brian and Al were in one; Bob, John, Paul, George, Ringo and I were in the other. I opened the car door and they all jumped in, then I got in and closed the door. Well … somebody farted … I instantly thought it was Bob. But John looked right at me, like I did it, and said in that brilliant British accent, "The secret is to jump up and down before getting in the car to shake the farts out." I thought that was hilarious – words of wisdom from one of the world's greatest songwriters. I still laugh about that to this day.
I know it's a lengthy post but...
It's interesting to have a view from outside the Beatles' circle, and to see some of the basics of the story we knew/know disagreed with.

Love those excerpts RN, thanks for that.
Currently reading "Too Much of Nothing", which traces Bob's post-motorcyle spiritual journey. I didn't know that the Beatles (minus Paul, presumably at home with Linda and newly-born Mary) were present at the Isle of Wight festival, nor that they supposedly jammed with Dylan, Clapton, etc.
SgtPeppersBulldog
There's a good chance that you did know 75% of the Beatles saw Dylan play the Isle of Wight Festival in 1969 from somewhere at some time, @vonbontee @Von Bontee, what with all the good sources out there, and it just slipped both your minds...

You know us too well...anytime I post a "wow I never knew that", there's a non-non-zero chance that I've already posted the same revelation on the same thread, three years previous.
Bob's sessions for New Morning began with a session at Columbia Studio B in New York City on 1 May 1970. His lead guitarist for the session was George. While there were a few serious attempts at nailing a new Bob song, much of the session was the two jamming.

is what's reported to have been recorded. A very few tracks have appeared on Dylan archive releases, more has been bootlegged, but the whole session has never appeared.
The question is whether we could see it appear next year?
Here's what throws up the question: A couple of months ago Bob released the 15th in his Bootleg Series, Traveling Thru, exploring 1968-1969 in the main, and the albums John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline (which included the fruits of two sessions with Johnny Cash), along with early sessions for Self Portrait.
It was said that the JWH outtakes included on 15 were all that could be found, and on 6 December a very limited 2CD appeared in some European countries to meet copyright laws. It included an additional 44 recordings from the 1969 sessions, meaning we probably have all that exists of the 1969 sessions between various official releases.
Since Bob has put out everything that exists in some form, whether by general release or limited edition 50th anniversary/copyright releases, Bob has released everything known to exist up to the end of 1969.
If he follows the same pattern for 1970, we're getting the 1 May session with George in some form or another.

The objective of the Southington Girls Softball League shall be to implant firmly in the children of the community, the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and respect so that they may be well adjusted, stronger, and happier children and will grow to be good, decent, healthy and trustworthy citizens.
The operation of SGSL is comprised of many activities that take place that most very seldom see and may not be aware of. These include but but are in no way limited to: Field Maintenance Committee to keep our 10 playing fields in a good and safe condition; Various pre-season Organization Committees; Concession Stand Committee to help in the operation of our main source of income; Raffle Committee, Banquet Committee. All of this activity is done for the benefit of your daughters by volunteers. SGSL is one of the finest, if not the finest, facility within the state of Connecticut, that is dedicated to girls' softball. Comments validating this have been made year after year by coaches and officials both within and outside of the Town of Southington. However, none of this happens without your help. So please, ask any of our Executive Board members how you can get involved. Everyone has a very busy schedule but just a few hours of help is invaluable to both the league and your daughters.


People know me as an activist, if they know me at all. I fight for the rights of farmers. I help them escape the claws of capitalism and poverty, and the thievery of people in the government. I'm not a fan of irony. I don't find it funny that the people who sweat blood to produce the food we put on our tables don't have food to put on their own tables.
But as much as I'd love to tell you about my advocacy with the passion of a thousand burning suns, I can't. I'm here to show you that I'm not one-dimensional; that I'm a person with many sides and facets; that I'm real and just… gone.
I'm a son to my mother and father. I was never really the behaved type. I used to run around a lot as a kid. I had crazy experiences, like eating a dragonfly in the middle of the field when my parents said I shouldn't. The more they said I shouldn't, the more I did it.
But don't get me wrong: I'm not a rebel. I'm a loving child, just slightly hyper. I love my parents a lot even though I had to leave to do what I have to do: to fight. I think I got this spirit from Dads (that's what my siblings and I call our parents: Moms and Dads). Dads was always a fighter: He fought the dictatorship; he fought for press freedom. But my soft heart is from Moms. She has always been a great mother, kind and caring. If I stop everything I'm doing now, I can hear them: Dads protesting, Moms shouting my name with so much longing. They're looking for me.
I'm also a brother to four—two sisters and two brothers. I'm the middle child, but our parents all treated us fairly, I believe. As I have said, I'm a can't-stop-moving-and-doing-fun-stuff-that-scares-my-parents kind of kid. I remember when we were young, my Kuya and I went to Ate's room. We took all her dolls and "modified" them. We beheaded some and drew on the others' faces. And then, we turned her room into a horror house/room. She screamed, of course. It stressed our parents out. But we had fun doing it.
I'm also the kind of brother that eats his chocolate bar fast so I can ask for more from my Ate. It always worked. I can hear them at the mall now, laughing at a memory of us, when we were still together. But now they're stopping. Everyone's wondering where I am. They're looking for me.
As I grew older with my four siblings, I became an uncle. I'm a cool uncle, I tell you. I used to take care of Ate's kids when she was at work. As time passed, I had more nieces and nephews. Every time I went to the farm where they stayed, I would bring them something. Sometimes, I'd bring them bangus from far away and we'd cook it ourselves. One time, it was one of my nieces' birthday. I brought home a puppy. She asked me what we should name the pup and I said "Foofoo." She scrunched her face but the name stuck. I'm a cool uncle, as I told you. From the distance, I can hear them running toward me now, the way they did whenever I arrived, excited and yearning. They're looking for me.
After a while, I also decided to settle down like my siblings. I became a husband. My wife, she's all the stars in the night sky combined, and I wish I could see her glow in the darkness I'm in now.
She fought side by side with me, like a warrior brilliant and unwavering. We had a child after some time, and I became a father. My daughter, as I remember her, was exactly like me. She's hyper. She laughs and smiles a lot. She holds spiders in her hands without fear.
She really was a carbon copy of me. I wonder if she still is. I wonder if she still remembers me because as painful as this sounds, I don't know much about her now and the memories I have are little ones compared to what she is now. I have not seen her in 10 years. I've been gone for 10 years and I know that they have been looking for me for 10 years.
Ten years ago, I was separated from everything I love because I am an activist. Ten years ago, I had everything I love taken away from me. Ten years ago, I was abducted. They've been looking for me ever since then. I'm sure of this because my family members are filled with so much love, and I wish, I wish I am wrapped in their arms right now. I might look fearless but I am scared. I'm scared of this darkness I'm stuck in, and I'm afraid I'll never see light again. As much as I want to look for them, I can't, with my hands tied, my eyes covered, and my mouth filled with cloth. I know how to fight but my abductors don't fight fair.

She says she wrote this piece as she remembers her uncle, the son of Edita Burgos and the late press freedom icon Joe Burgos, and from the stories told by her family about him. April 28 marked the 10th year of Jonas Burgos' disappearance.

The United States isn't playing in the 2018 World Cup, but there are still plenty of reasons to watch. Even without the Stars and Stripes playing, the tournament has several exciting teams American fans should root for, plus a ton of talented and exciting players that are worth watching. These are the top 2018 World Cup players you'll want to see on the pitch this year.
We'll quickly discuss the obvious superstars you need to see, then talk about the under-the-radar players to keep an eye on (be sure to check out the star for a tiny European country on page 8).
This one is so obvious, we have to start here. Lionel Messi is one of the best players of all time, so he's definitely one of the 2018 World Cup stars you need to watch. With Argentina now out of the tournament, you'll have to be satisfied with watching him play as a forward for Spanish club Barcelona. It remains to be seen if Messi will return for yet another World Cup in 2022. Messi will be 35 when the 2022 World Cup starts, which is usually about the age when international superstars are considering retirement.
Next: Another superstar we probably don't need to mention, but will anyway.
He's one of the wealthiest soccer superstars, and also one of the best. Cristiano Ronaldo has an incredible scoring ability, and it didn't take long to show it as he opened the tournament with three goals against Spain. He's one of the games biggest stars, and one of the 2018 World Cup players to watch.
Next: The star of the team destined for a deep run.
If you want to watch the World Cup beyond the group stage, then Brazil is the team for you. The last time the country didn't get past the group stage was 1966. It's almost guaranteed Brazil will be in the tournament for a while, and Neymar is its best player. He's every bit the soccer superstar that Messi and Ronaldo are, and he's one of the most exciting players in the game.
Next: Love him or hate him, he's still one of the players to watch.
His controversial antics on the field make him one of the athletes we love to hate, but there's no denying Luis Suarez is one of the 2018 World Cup players to watch. He's the man who makes Uruguay's offense hum, and the squad has an excellent chance of advancing deep in the tournament.
Next: The undoubted superstar for this squad.
Mohamed Salah is undoubtedly Egypt's biggest superstar, and he's definitely one of the players to watch in the 2018 World Cup. He was the Player of the Year in England for 2018, and his offensive ability is electric.
Next: Even if you don't know his name, he's one of the best players out there.
If you're waiting for David Beckham or Wayne Rooney to show up for England then you're out of luck, but the squad still has one of the best players to watch in Harry Kane. The forward leads the team's attack, and even if you don't know his name he's one of the best players in the world. In fact, he's on the short list of players who might win FIFA's prestigious Ballon d'Or award.
Next: A player who does a little bit of everything.
Belgian teammate Eden Hazard might be more of a household name, but we believe Kevin De Bruyne is one of the top 2018 World Cup players to watch. He does a little bit of everything. He passes well, he strikes the ball with either foot, and his shot is one of the most powerful since David Beckham played the game.
Next: It's not a one-man team, but it's close.
Some people believe Denmark will only go as far as Christian Eriksen takes it. Sure enough, Eriksen assisted on the Danes' goal in a 1-0 win against Peru to start the 2018 World Cup. Unfortunately for fans of Denmark, he wasn't able to take his team past the Round of 16 this year.
Next: Watch him while you can.
As one of the worst-ranked teams playing in the tournament, it was no big surprise when South Korea failed to advance past the group stage. But try to catch a glimpse of Son Heung-min if you can because he's one of the best 2018 World Cup players to watch. When he's not playing for South Korea's national team, you can catch Son Heung-min playing in the English Premier League, as a forward for Tottenham.
Next: His third time on the big stage.
There is a lot of turnover from Germany's 2014 World Cup championship team, but Thomas Muller is back for his third time on the big stage. Germany's World Cup dreams may be dashed, but Thomas Muller is still a player to watch in any tournament. With Germany making an embarrassingly early exit from the 2018 World Cup, it's worth remembering that Muller scored five goals in the 2014 World Cup and was unquestionably one of the best players in the tournament.
When Spain won the 2010 World Cup, Andres Iniesta scored the tournament-winning goal. At 34 years old, the 2018 World Cup is likely the last time we'll see him on the world stage as a player. He's one of the best midfielders we've seen in a while, and this is the last time we can watch one of the top players work his magic.
Next: Finding the net is this man's job.
When it comes to putting the ball in the net, Antoine Griezmann is the man for France. He netted the squad's first goal of the tournament and is one of the 2018 World Cup players to watch. The only thing hindering his goal-scoring potential is France's suspect midfield.
Next: The captain of the ship.
If Croatia has any chance of a deep tournament run, then team captain Luka Modric is going to have to be one of the 2018 World Cup players to watch. He saved the day with a penalty kick goal in a tournament-opening win against Nigeria, but Modric and his teammates will have to play even better against Russia if they want to make it to the final.
Next: We hope the team's opening result doesn't shorten this player's tournament.
Japan is the first Asian team to beat a South American team in the World Cup thanks to a 2-1 win against Colombia. And while Colombia failed to make it out of the Round of 16, fortunately, that didn't rob us of a chance to see James Rodriguez in action.
Next: This player already had a big moment.
With a little help from the stellar goalkeeping of Guillermo Ochoa and his nine saves, Hirving Lozano had a 2018 World Cup to remember. The midfielder's first-half goal against Germany was the game-winner in Mexico's 1-0 victory, and Mexico was able to advance past the group stage because of it. We'll be watching Lozano for the rest of his career to see what he does next.

New York City Schools To Open In Fall With Some In-Person Instruction
By Austin Horn • Jul 8, 2020
New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio said on Wednesday that the city's schools will open in the fall, but with a mix of in-person and remote learning options.
The plan will likely put students in school twice a week, according to a statement released by the mayor and city Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza on Wednesday. De Blasio also noted that 75% of NYC families wanted their kids back in school.
We are planning to reopen @NYCSchools this fall while putting health and safety FIRST.
75% of families want to send their kids back to school in the fall. Our job is to make it safe and make it work for every family.
We won't let you down.
— Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) July 8, 2020
"Getting our kids back to school successfully and safely is the single biggest part of restarting our city," de Blasio said in the statement. "Parents have spoken clearly – they want their children back in school buildings to the greatest extent possible. Our approach for the fall maximizes in person instruction while protecting health and safety of our students and educators."
Calling the strategy "blended learning," the officials said the city will distribute over 300,000 iPads. It will also provide three different scheduling models for schools to potentially use in opening, separating students into groups.
The statement also noted that schools will require social distancing, masks and extra access to hand sanitizer. It also noted that spaces will be reconfigured for social distancing, lunch will be held in classrooms, and buildings will be disinfected nightly.
Yesterday, the state of Florida announced that it would open schools fully in the fall. The move stirred some controversy, as case numbers continue to balloon.
New York City was once the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in America. However, in recent weeks the total number of cases reported has slowed significantly and deaths per day have dipped into the single digits. New York State has also seen a big dip in coronavirus numbers.

The Watchtower's dirty little secrets
The leadership of the Jehovah's Witnesses has boldly defied court orders to turn over the names and whereabouts of alleged child sexual abusers across the United States.
Since 2014, courts have slapped the Jehovah's Witnesses' parent corporation – the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York – with multimillion-dollar judgments and sanctions for violating orders to hand over secret documents.
The documents could serve as a road map to what are likely thousands of alleged child abusers living freely in communities across the country, who still could be abusing kids. The files include the names of known and suspected perpetrators, the locations of their congregations and descriptions of their alleged crimes.
"I've been practicing law for 37 years, and I've never seen anything like it," said attorney Irwin Zalkin, who represents victims of sexual abuse by Jehovah's Witnesses. "They do everything to protect the reputation of the organization over the safety of children."
"It's a public safety issue," he said. "At this point, this needs to be investigated."Zalkin said he believes that state and federal law enforcement agencies have a moral obligation to investigate the Watchtower's child abuse policies and seize its files.
Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting made repeated attempts to interview officials from law enforcement agencies who could potentially obtain search warrants for the documents – the New York and California attorneys general and U.S. Department of Justice. None of the agencies agreed to talk.
For more than 25 years, Jehovah's Witnesses officials have instructed local leaders – known as elders – in all of the religion's 14,000 U.S. congregations to hide sexual abuse from law enforcement. Instead, abusers were to be handled internally.
That secrecy is a tenet of the religion. Jehovah's Witnesses are taught to avoid the outside world. They don't vote or serve in the military and usually don't go to college.
Predators purposefully exploit that isolation, said Kathleen Hallisey, a London attorney spearheading similar civil lawsuits in England.
"I think they choose those types of environments very carefully, where they know they can operate with impunity, and unfortunately, the policies of the Watchtower allow them to continue to do that again and again and again," Hallisey said.
In 1997, the Watchtower issued a directive calling for elders to reportalleged child sexual abusers to the religion's headquarters in Brooklyn, New York. The form was to be mailed in a special blue envelope.
That directive is the foundation of a database the Watchtower has collected and maintained for almost two decades, according to Watchtower documents.
"Written, demanded, commanded policy. Very different. The Catholic Church, it was unwritten. They called it 'viva voce' – by voice only. They didn't have it written down anywhere, it was just understood," Zalkin said. "Here, it's in writing. I mean there's no question."
Zalkin is quite familiar with the details of the Catholic Church's sexual abuse scandal. In 2007, he negotiated a $200 million settlement for more than 100 victims of clergy abuse. After that case made news, he began receiving calls from victims of abuse in all sorts of institutions, including universities and the Boy Scouts of America.
About a dozen of those calls came from ex-Jehovah's Witnesses. Several of them named the same abuser: Gonzalo Campos. Those cases led Zalkin to the Watchtower's secret documents.
Campos was a Jehovah's Witness who sexually abused at least seven children in San Diego congregations in the '80s and '90s. During that time, Watchtower leaders knew Campos was abusing children but did not report him to law enforcement, according to testimony by congregation elders. Instead, they promoted him to the position of elder.
Campos would groom his victims for abuse during Bible study sessions, according to court records. One of those victims was Jose Lopez, who was 7 when Campos abused him.
"The Watchtower or the organization, I think they should have contacted the authorities and, you know, had this guy behind bars," Lopez said.
In 2012, Zalkin filed a lawsuit against the Watchtower on behalf of Lopez.Campos has admitted to abusing Jehovah's Witness children in a sworn deposition.
During the case, Zalkin formally requested all the letters the Watchtower had received in response to the 1997 directive. He wanted to prove a pattern, and the documents would show what the Watchtower knew about the scope of child abuse in the organization.
In 2014, San Diego Superior Court Judge Joan Lewis ordered the Watchtower to hand over the documents. The California Supreme Court upheld the order. The Watchtower refused.
Lewis kicked the Watchtower out of court and awarded Lopez $13.5 million in damages. She expressed her own frustration with the Watchtower's tactics in her decision.
"Watchtower's actions or omissions were 'reprehensible.' I think 'disgraceful' may be synonymous with 'reprehensible,' but I think 'disgraceful' doesn't say enough about it," she wrote.
"The award of punitive damages against them will hopefully send a message to Watchtower and its managing agents, the governing body of the Jehovah's Witnesses, that their handling of sex abuse cases within their congregation was absolutely reckless."
The Watchtower didn't get that message. In Zalkin's next case, he again requested the Watchtower's child abuse files. Again, the Watchtower refused. This time, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Raquel Marquez threw the defense out of court. The cost of withholding the documents: $4 million.
Finally, in Zalkin's next case, it looked like the Jehovah's Witnesses had acquiesced. They agreed to hand over the documents. But with a caveat: Zalkin could not share them with anyone.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Richard Strauss agreed, and the Watchtower began sending the documents to Zalkin.
But as they arrived, he noticed something was wrong. The Watchtower hadonly sent four years' worth of files, instead of the 19 years the court had ordered. And the Watchtower had redacted some of the most crucial information in the documents: the names of the perpetrators and the congregations.
In June, Strauss ordered the Watchtower to pay $4,000 a day until it complied with the court's order. The Watchtower is appealing.
"They've made a business decision not to produce these documents," Zalkin said.
Jehovah's Witnesses leaders have refused to discuss the cases. Last year, they issued a statement saying they abhor child abuse and comply with all child abuse reporting laws.
The Watchtower appealed the $13.5 million ruling in the Lopez case. The appeals court ruled earlier this year that the judge should not have thrown the Watchtower out of court before trying less extreme measures, such as daily fines until it produces the documents.
But the court also upheld the order for the Watchtower to hand over all its child abuse files, unredacted except for the names of the victims. The case is back in the lower court.
Meanwhile, Zalkin currently has 18 lawsuits pending against the Watchtower.
He also has four years of redacted documents locked in a filing cabinet in his office. The judge's protective order prevents him from saying how many documents he received or describing what they reveal about child abuse in Jehovah's Witnesses congregations.
"It's very frustrating to have seen what I've seen and to know what is going on in this institution and this organization," he said. "It's very frustrating when I've got a gag in my mouth. It's pretty hard. We're trying our best to expose this truth, and they're doing everything they can to interfere with that effort, to block that effort."
Does the Watchtower really "abhor child abuse"?

I graduated from University of Maryland many, many years ago. Heck, my son graduated from there years ago! Sadly, there were never great restaurant options when I was a student. If we wanted a nice meal, we went to the nearby Ledo's Pizza. By the time my son attended UMD, the dining situation hadn't progressed all that much.
So on a rainy Saturday evening, when my husband announces he wants to go to Northwest Chinese Food in College Park, my first response is to raise my eyebrows. My skepticism evaporates as soon as he directs my attention to an article by Tim Carman in his $20 Diner column for The Washington Post. I grab my coat and we're off to the town of my alma mater to explore the cuisine of the Northwest province of Shaanxi.
We are handed a plastic coated menu, and instructed to fill in our order with an erasable marker. A server comes to retrieve it, gazing at me blankly when I ask her opinion on whether we've selected enough food. I'm used to going with my gut in these matters, so its not a big deal.
We hurriedly fill in the boxes with our selections: liang pi cold skin noodles, black vinegar peanuts, spicy cumin lamb burger, and hot oil-seared noodles with bean curd, tomato and eggs. Our order includes many of the dishes highlighted in the Washington Post. The flavors are strong with an emphasis on salt, garlic, onion, and vinegar.
Many of the dishes at Northwest Chinese Food include the word spicy in their descriptor. We're happy to follow the heat. The spice-averse will probably want to focus on noodle dishes. This isn't an issue- there is a broad selection of both knife-cut noodles and rice noodles topped with beef, pork, potatoes, or eggplant.
Liang pi cold skin noodles, made in-house, are clear and slippery, doused with chili oil and black vinegar. The noodles are appropriately chewy, and the flavor is a wake-up call. After just a few bites, it's clear that this is not your average neighborhood Chinese restaurant.
Spicy Cumin lamb burger isn't a burger at all. Instead, it's slivers of lamb tucked inside a well-toasted bun. Both the chili and the cumin are accents to the meat rather than a predominant presence. The chili oil slithers out of the bun, but if you're careful about where it lands, this only adds to the enjoyment.
Hot-oil seared noodles can be enhanced with tomato and eggs and bean curd. The additions are must-haves for vegetarians. As a carnivore, I'm happy to take a break from meat with this powerhouse dish.
Black vinegar peanuts do not really speak to me, but this is highlighted in the $20 Diner review, so I agree to give it the old college try. More oil, more chili, more intense heat and flavor. I like it, but find that a few peanuts go a long way.
While the food is first-rate, the restaurant also makes the grade for its bargain prices. We spend $30 on dinner for two. Northwest Chinese Food is a bright light in College Park, a town that once upon a time was woefully academic when it comes to dining.


The Exchange Café is open from 9am-5pm, Monday – Saturday.
A selection of fresh sandwiches and light lunches made to order until 4pm. Gluten-free cakes, ground coffee and a selection of herbal tea infusions available all day. Vegetarian and vegan options available – please ask!
We have Wi-Fi and laptop outlets, and a splendid Secret Garden.
We now offer a lunch-time pick-up service. Place your order by calling 020 8318 9105 and ask for the Café.
