NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS
FUNDRAISING REQUEST FOR BOUGAINVILLE
This is a request for help for the organisation with which I was a VSA volunteer for 2 years up to June 2010. Leitana Nehan Women's Development Agency (LNWDA) was started by four Bougainville women at the height of the Bougainville "crisis" (civil war). Initially it was an informal, unfunded organisation which focused on providing practical help such as food, clothing and shelter to women and children affected by the conflict. The founders spoke out against the atrocities which were perpetrated including the sexual violence against women. They took leading roles in working towards peace, often at personal risks to themselves. Over time the agency formalised its structure as an NGO; was able to access funding from a variety of international aid organisations and adapted its functions to meet the changing needs in Bougainville
LNWDA currently provides counselling and support to women and families and awareness raising workshops on Gender, Human Rights and Violence against women. A weekly radio programme is also produced on these and related topics. Specific workshops are held with men to address violence against women. As one of the largest and longest established NGOs in Bougainville, LNWDA provides capacity building support to other, newer, organisations and takes a leading role in networking and co-ordinating with others. There are 11 staff based in the Buka office and 36 volunteer counsellors spread throughout the 13 districts of Bougainville. On November 2nd 2010 the LNWDA office building in Buka, Bougainville, burned down. In a situation with no fire services and no insurance this is a devastating event. They have lost all records, documentation, training materials, computers etc. – everything which is needed to operate their services apart from the commitment and skills of staff and volunteers.
I wish to assist them by raising funds in New Zealand. The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) will accept donations on their behalf. Please be sure to note the payment is for Bougainville. Cheques, made to WILPF Auckland, can be sent to 3A Highwic Ave, Epsom 1051, Auckland Or Payments to WILPF bank account: BNZ 02-0240-0156143-000 Or Donations can be handed directly to me. Feel free to contact me if you would like any further information. Please forward this email to anyone else who may be willing to assist.
Many thanks for your support Lesley Young
GAGARIN WAY – THEATRICAL DYNAMITE – ON IN AUCKLAND DECEMBER 1-11
Described as a ton of theatrical dynamite disguised as a mere Molotov cocktail, Gregory Burke's award-winning play Gagarin Way has its Auckland debut this December.
Frisky Productions presents Gagarin Way at The Gagarin Way Garage, 181 Hobson Street, Auckland from 1-11 December.
Multi-award winning actor Gareth Reeves (I'm Not Harry Jenson, The Cult, Go Girls) makes his directorial debut delivering this explosive tale of two disillusioned factory workers, Gary and Eddie, who, awash with anti-globalist anger, kidnap a Japanese business executive in a plot to demonstrate their anti-corporate sentiments to the world.
However, the duo's cunning plan goes awry when Frank – the business man they have abducted – turns out not to be a Japanese executive, Eddie forgets the balaclavas, the manifesto they wish to release to the waiting world is hazy and Tom – a young security guard with a degree in political science – accidentally gate-crashes the scene of the crime.
The four men find themselves confined in a claustrophobic factory store room and tension crackles. The audience is confronted by a visceral and fiercely comic explosion of ideologies and hopes as each man's story emerges throughout the course of the play.
"I didn't expect it to be a comedy," Scottish playwright Gregory Burke explains, " but when you consider the themes…Marxist and Hegelian theories of history, anarchism, psychopathology, existentialism, mental illness, political terrorism, nihilism, globalisation and the crisis in masculinity – then it couldn't really be anything else."
"To make a comedy of contradictions is the ultimate prank. To set it in the confines of a factory whereby the most cack-handed of empty gestures is exposed in all its farcical colours as playwright Gregory Burke has done is pretty close to genius" – The Herald (Scotland)
Gagarin Way premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2001, where it won a Fringe First, the Best of the Fringe First Awards and The Scotsman Readers' Favourite Award. Following sell-out runs after its transfer to London's National Theatre, it was named one of the best plays of 2001 by The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Observer and Mail on Sunday. Gagarin Way received a nomination for 'Best New Play' at the 2002 Olivier Awards and Gregory Burke was awarded the 2001 Critic's Circle Award for 'Most Promising Playwright'.
Gagarin Way stars a talented all-male cast featuring Will Wallace (The Cult, Jinx Sisters), Edward Newborn (Krapp's Last Tape, National Theatre), Kevin Keys (August: Osage County) and Emmet Skilton (Home by Christmas).
Gagarin Way plays at The Gagarin Way Garage, 181 Hobson Street, Auckland from 1-11 December at 8pm (No show Sunday 5 December). Tickets are $25 (adult) or $20 (concession or group of 8+) and can be booked from www.eventfinder.co.nz For more information visit www.friskyproductionsnz.com/
Interviews with the cast and director are available. Please contact SWPR, Safia van der Zwan, safia@swpr.co.nz 021410318

Rebel Press warmly invites you to a: BOOK LAUNCH of The day the raids came: Stories of survival and resistance to the state terror raids. Music, food and readings. On October 15th, 2007 an estimated 300 police raided houses all over Aotearoa New Zealand and arrested people based on warrants issued under the Terrorism Suppression Act. Lives were turned upside down as the police searched for evidence of 'terrorism.' This book is a collection of oral history interviews of people affected by those raids and the aftermath: defendants, friends, family, supporters and other people subject to the state's coercive powers on that day. The case is the first ever attempted use of the Terrorism Suppression Act, a piece of legislation enacted in response to the 9/11 events in New York and Washington DC. The terrorism charges were not brought, but the people arrested continue to face a long journey to freedom as the state seeks to punish political activists and to reinforce the status quo.

JOIN THE MAY DAY 2011 SOLIDARITY BRIGADE TO VENEZUELA! APRIL 25TH – MAY 4TH, 2011
The Australia-Venezuela Solidarity Network invites you to observe first-hand the inspiring Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela. The sweeping social changes being carried out by Venezuela's "people's power" movements are radically transforming life for the majority in that country – workers, women, Indigenous people, young people and all those who have suffered the injustices of poverty, exploitation and exclusion that accompany corporate globalisation. Along the way, this remarkable revolution is showing the rest of the world that a more rational, socially just and sustainable future is possible.
A special feature of the 2011 May Day brigade will be the opportunity it offers to observe the developing workers' participation and workers' control that is a vital part of the Venezuelan revolution, with visits to worker-run factories and cooperatives, and meetings with trade union and community management representatives in a variety of sectors and regions. The brigadistas will also observe Venezuela's grassroots democracy in action, with visits to the social missions, communal councils and communes. They will meet and speak with grassroots activists in the free, high-quality public health and education services; sustainable development projects; community controlled media; and women's and Indigenous organisations. Joining the huge May Day rally in Caracas on May 1st will be a another highlight.
This brigade is the 12th solidarity and study tour organised by the AVSN. Participants' reports and photos from previous brigades are available at http://www.venezuelasolidarity.org
Registration and costs: The deadline for registering for the 2011 May Day solidarity brigade is February 28, 2011. Participants will need to book their own international airfares, but the AVSN can help with advice (please do not book without contacting us to confirm the dates). The AVSN will organise all accommodation, transport and English-Spanish translation for the brigade. People joining from Australia will need to budget for a total cost of $3500-4000, which will cover international return airfares (between $2200-2600 from Australia); all food, transport and accommodation (on a shared basis) during the brigade; and the brigade registration fee ($500 for workers or $300 for full-time students, unemployed and pensioners).
For more information about this or future brigades, please email brigades@venezuelasolidarity.org or phone Lisa Macdonald +61 413 031 108, Roberto Jorquera +61 425 182 994 or John Cleary +61 407 500 839.

Package mmap provides an interface to memory mapped files.

Memory maps can be opened as read-only with Read or read-write with Write.
To specify additional flags and a file mode use Open.

There are two different ways to work with memory maps.
They cannot be used simultaneously.
Creating a Direct accessor will fail if any Readers or Writers are open.
Creating Reader or Writer will fail if any Direct accessors are open.

The first is through direct access via a Direct, which is a pointer to a byte slice.
This lets you write directly to the mapped memory, but you will need to manage access
between go routines.

The second is through Readers and Writers.
These implement the standard interfaces from the io package and can be treated like files
while still benefitting from the improved performance of memory mapping.

You can have multiple Readers and Writers.
The map will ensure that writes don't conflict with reads. That is, the underlying map
won't change during the middle of a read.

When the map is resized via Truncate, all open Direct, Reader, and Writer objects are closed.

Q: My mysql container in Docker, via the feature I gave it from the dockerfile to restart itself, keeps turning itself on and off My mysql container in docker, via the feature I gave it from the dockerfile to restart itself, keeps turning itself on and off after I attempted the docker-compose up --build command.
My Dockerfile contains several containers, including an apache, a mysql with a volume to save the data of a database and a php.
I ran into this problem as I was carrying out various tests since I had just created the volume and I wanted to see if the database was not losing the data inside it.
After various commands of docker-compose down and docker-compose up it happened that the mysql container did not work anymore, not even after other commands docker-compose down and docker-compose build --no-cache.

below i added my docker.compose.yml

all versions of the images and data for the database are taken from the various dockerfiles

version: "3.2"
services:
  php:
   build:
    context: './php/'
    args:
     PHP_VERSION: ${PHP_VERSION}
   networks:
    - backend
   volumes:
    - ${PROJECT_ROOT}/:/var/www/html/
   container_name: php
apache:
  build:
    context: './apache/'
    args:
     APACHE_VERSION: ${APACHE_VERSION}
  depends_on:
    - php

    - backend
  ports:
    - "80:80"
  volumes:

  container_name: apache
mysql:
  image: mysql:${MYSQL_VERSION:-latest}
  restart: always
  ports:
    - "3306:3306"

    MYSQL_USER: "${DB_USERNAME}"
    MYSQL_PASSWORD: "${DB_PASSWORD}"
  container_name: mysql   networks:
  frontend:
   backend:
  volumes:
   data:

Anyone can describe me what I can do in this case in order not to lose the progress made so far within the database since doing a little research they tell me that the volume and the image of mysql may have been corrupted?

[ Listening and Doing ] Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.
Can we all agree that life is not all about smooth sailing? There are storms which arise and sometimes we lose our direction. We lose sight of where we were going and get lost in the destruction of the storm. We feel like the purpose of our voyage has changed a bit and we are unclear of how to get back on track or change directions. I have been feeling lately like things are just being tossed about in my life. I am happy and secure in my life at the moment yet there is this constant storm off in the distance. I feel at times that in any given moment of time my boat might just tip over and I will be left on my own to swim.
Now, I, not being a swimmer am fearful of this word "swim". This thought process puts me in a place of unease at times. Where am I at this point if I know God is in control? How is there any shred of doubt within me? I really don't have an answer at this point. God has moved so swiftly lately in my life it is almost like when the disciples were in the midst of their storm at sea and God just calmed everything down and they were at their destination in the blink of an eye.
So here I am, swimming in uncharted waters. I am leaving my boat right now and diving into the waters that I know are safe because He has me right were I need to be. No matter what others around me are thinking, I am secure in my relationship with God and nothing is going to shake that foundation. God loves each of us individually and He knows our every struggle. He will give us daily the strength we need to refocus and push forward. Within all of this, we still have to follow after Jesus and adhere to the principles He has set forth in the Bible…sometimes that is really hard to do.
It feels good to know God is in control even when my flesh is concerned with so many different struggles. I don't want to go through the changes sometimes that it takes to make me into the woman of God He has destined for me, yet I know I need to lose the ugly before the beauty of God can break through.
As snow storm after snow storm hits Michigan this winter, I am paused for a moment to reflect on personal storms in my life. Sometimes they are predictable and we know in advance what to expect while other times the storms just invade without notice of their arrival until we are sucked in and tossed about. So many times I do not even realize there is a storm until I am drenched is some ugly situation that has gotten out of my control, well that's the way it used to be before I decided to let God direct my path.
I could get myself in so much trouble before I let God have control of my life that I could make my own head spin. Now that I allow God to protect me from the storms that He can already see, life seems so much more easier to withstand. Why had I not let Him be in control before? Simple, I thought I could handle everything on my own. I wanted to fight my own battles since usually I was the one who had gotten myself into trouble in the first place.
How many times do we fight unnecessary battles How many times do we scream at God because the storm in too big when if we would have let go right at the first sign of any clouds we would not have had to endure so much pain. How do we get to the place where the storms seem to be nothing but a cloud or two passing by in the night? Surrender. Total, complete surrender. Being secure in the knowledge that God follows through on His promises. He wants us to be at peace. He wants us to prosper. Because of the death of His Only Son, we are covered by grace and God can't even see our sin because of the continual flow of blood.
I think that perhaps I have gotten to this place of peace in my life because I am secure in my God. I trust Him. I follow His lead. I surrender with my eyes focused on Jesus so that I will not be drawn to the storm. I am at rest in my soul. I look to Jesus for provision, acceptance, love and peace. Without Him I would be tossed like a boat in a stormy sea with no direction, wondering why on earth God was even keeping me here..
Are you in a storm right now? Having trouble finding your way? Then look up, give up and let God show you the peace He has for you even in the middle of the storm. Be willing to surrender any issues going on in your life right now. Be confident in His love for you, after all He did give up His Son so that you could have life and life more abundant!
Okay Lord, what now? Got out of the boat. Rocked the boat. Tipped it over. Yet I still feel like nothing has happened. I know I am suppose to be still and know that You are God, however, I still feel in my spirit as though You are waiting on me somehow. I have placed all the faith I have into Your will for my life. I have prayed. I have surrendered. I have not quit but I have given up. I have given up my will to control the things in my life. So now……..
Ever have one of those conversations with God? I did today. Matter of fact I got kind of frustrated. I didn't feel unworthy but unused. I wasn't angry just ready for something to change. Ever notice how right before a storm is broken all hell breaks loose? Things get heated and frustrating. Tempers may flare and surely insecurities are flashing about like lightening. Things just seem to be getting stressful and you start mumbling to God when all of a sudden you reach a point where the only answer for the situation is…..breakthrough.
Perhaps this is where I am with my ministry at this point. I know provision for the books is right around the corner. I know God has already got this all planned out and all I have to do is follow the plan set before me. How do we do this? Conversations with God. Reading the Word. Seeking Him in all of the circumstances surrounding the storm. Whether it be work related, relationship issues, personal battles or just stuck in a rut, the storm always gets worse before it gets better. The intensity of the issues gets hotter and hotter until you reach a breaking point and you either deal with it or push it away.
If you choose to push it away, it will come back at some point, however if you choose to deal with it, a victory will arise. Then you will be better prepared for the next storm. When we just close our eyes to the issues at hand we enter the next battle unprepared and possibly in a worse situation. God brings things to us so that we may become stronger and more dependent on Him. As we go through the storms we learn how to put God right in front of us instead of looking back to see what He is going to do.
Are you in a storm right now? How are you handling it? Are your eyes closed hoping it will go away or are you facing the storm like your God is big enough to cover it? Choose right now to go head on into your storm with your eyes fixed on Jesus.
"Yes, come," Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
First, I must apologize for the length of days between my blogs lately, it has been difficult adjusting to my new position at work and I have been very busy. I am hoping as I get a handle on things I will be able to focus once again on my blogging. As for today, this will be short and sweet as I am headed to revival meetings and I am seeking God for some answers. As many of you know, I am in the process of publishing a book. The process is slower than I want to go, yet I know it is all according to God's perfect plan for my life. Today I want to share some joy and I hope you will rejoice as well for if you too choose to surrender, God is waiting to work a masterpiece in your life as well.
I am an ordinary person. I live an ordinary life for the most part. I am different than everyone else as we all are. I have hopes and dreams. I have tragedies and triumphs. The only difference between me and the unbeliever is God. It is this God Factor which orchestrates my life and gives me the desires of heart. It is this peace and understanding which gets me through my days. The key to all of this was surrender. I am in the process of putting together a little book about surrender and soon it will be available. Surrender was the key to writing my first book, if I had not given it all to God, I would still be in my rut and not growing with the Lord.
This morning, I spoke with a possible book representative. She gave me insights and pointers, sharing a part of her ministry with me. We talked about an hour and I hung up the phone happier than I have been in days. She spoke things into my life and confirmed many things. This book my friends is truly only the beginning. There will be more. God is calling me to a ministry position and I am looking for my yacht. I must get up and get out of my comfortable boat and seek greatness. I have to step out on to the water and trust God to take me to the next big thing. No longer will I dwell in the simple fishing boat, I will live in the yacht where ministering to the broken can begin.
I am so excited to see where God is taking me. I am ready for training and I am seeking those whom God will send into my life to grow me up in the ministry aspect of my life. I am searching for those who will invest time into my book. I am ready to be amazed by God and I want to take you on the journey with me. Ahead of me lay great possibilities and uncharted waters. Just beyond the next harbor there are people who need to hear God loves them and that He desires to heal their brokenness. Lots to do and pray about. Are you ready to go sailing with me? I will not leave you behind, Jesus did not leave me.

Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show to feature Superyacht Village
By Mike Stones August 27, 2019 13:37
This year's show features a Superyacht Village, capable of handling luxury yachts up to 122 metres in length.
The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the world's largest in-water boat show, which opens in October, is to feature a new Superyacht Village, as part of its 60th anniversary celebrations.
Billed as "the crown jewel" of the event, the Superyacht Village will feature an exclusive marina and on-land destination area that will display the most spectacular yachts in the show. The marina is equipped to accommodate vessels of up to 122 metres.
Open to all general admission ticket holders, the village will display "some of the world's most spectacular vessels and exhibits by renowned shipyards", according to the organisers. Also on display will be yacht "toys" – including helicopters and personal submarines – in addition to collectable cars and other luxury items designed to "showcase the superyacht lifestyle" said the organisers.
The 3.5-acre village will be located at Pier Sixty-Six Hotel & Marina's new "Pier South" property. "The growing number of large yachts exhibiting at the show continues to attract affluent buyers and superyacht charter clients," said Andrew Doole, president of Informa U.S. Boat Shows, one of the organisers.
'Unique destination for the superyacht community'
"Thanks to a large investment by Informa and Tavistock community within this extraordinary boat show directly across from Port Everglades. We are excited to expand our partnership with Pier Sixty-Six as they embark on an exciting future to revitalise the iconic waterfront venue that has been part of the boat show history since its inception."
Among the superyachts attending the event will be the 80-metre Excellence and the 26-metre Mansion Yacht. Excellence is the newest superyacht in the show and was launched by Abeking & Rasmussen and designed by Winch Design.
The 80-metre Excellence is the newest superyacht to appear at the show.
The mega-yacht features a swimming pool, a Jacuzzi, a beach club, and impressive custom limousine tenders. After its debut in May, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show will be the vessel's second appearance.
Made entirely of stainless steel
Mansion Yacht is said to be the first yacht made entirely of stainless steel with spectacular indoor and outdoor decks that will "soar high above the entire show". The novel design features four 5.5-metre hydraulic legs each with a lifting capacity of a million pounds, which allows the yacht to stand up to 4.5 metres in the air in 1 metre of water.
Encompassing 9,000 square feet overall, the mansion yacht features a 6-metre elevated 214 sq metre furnished deck for panoramic water views.

What Does Dalcroze™ Eurhythmics™ Provide to Dancers?
Emile Jacques-Dalcroze™ created and implemented his ideas, the first modern method of music education, for pre-professional conservatory students around 1900. His work was modified later for children. It remains an essential part of the curriculum at leading institutions, elementary to collegiate, around the world. Stravinsky, Bloch, Diaghilev, Nijinski, Honegger, Du Pré, and William Westney are among the artists who worked with Dalcroze™ or were directly affected by his philosophy.
Feeling and sensing become primary vehicles for understanding aesthetic concepts.
Affect and meaning are often points of departure for the learning experience thereby impacting performance practice. This actualizes their importance in vivid and authentic ways.
Improvisation in all forms (rhythmic, melodic, corporal) promotes ownership of one's aesthetic self.
For the choreographer, aesthetics is of prime importance, both in the study of minute gesture and large forms and spatial awareness. The Dalcrozian celebrates the study of gesture and visual forms along with their relative impact on the aesthetic experience.
As non-verbal communication often permeates any dance performance, these elements are often championed in the Dalcroze™ classroom. Discovering innovative ways to articulate one's self, especially those expressions that are not part of one's everyday emotive vocabulary. These expressions might be through the limbs, the face, the body.
Through diverse exercises which engage a multi-leveled approach to the body, the legs, trunk, arms, voice, and head achieve greater independence and increased control of energy, nuance, and expression.
As weight and the study of its impact also predominates a Dalcroze™ curriculum, dancers can expect to learn new and varied approaches to improve their sense of balance.
Eurhythmics™ provides training for structural elements (beat, duration, rhythm, meter, texture, phrase, and form) and aesthetic elements (nuance, dynamics, articulation, tempo, and affect). Students gain control of their bodies, becoming freer to express creatively-both physically and musically.
Solfège trains the eyes, ears, and voice. It enables a student to listen to music and transcribe it onto paper, and to look at sheet music and hear it internally without the use of an instrument.
Improvisation enables students to create music instrumentally or vocally. It usually begins with movement or the voice to facilitate the creative process. Bodily gestures relate to gestures used on the instrument; the connections between movement and music are clarified.

Existential mysteries to read over the long winter to come
Vox's book critic recommends books to fit your very specific mood.
By Constance Grady@constancegrady Oct 1, 2020, 1:40pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Existential mysteries to read over the long winter to come
Amanda Northrop/Vox
Welcome to the latest installment of Vox's Ask a Book Critic, in which I, Vox book critic Constance Grady, provide book recommendations to suit your very specific mood: either how you're feeling right now or how you'd like to be feeling instead.
I always like a good murder mystery when the weather starts to get chilly, so right now I'm reading Tana French's forthcoming book The Searcher. I had a bad moment with it earlier when the male protagonist began describing a woman in a way that made my hackles rise — but then I remembered that by the Tana French formula, that moment just means that the protagonist is exposing his own blind spots with regard to women, and in the end she'll turn out to be the key to everything in the way he least expects. What makes French great, though, is I have absolutely no idea how this lady could possibly be connected to the mystery, so I am still on tenterhooks waiting.
But perhaps you are not in the mood for slightly bleak Irish mysteries with feminist cred! That is perfectly reasonable! And that's why this column exists: so I can help you find the books that you do want to read. So let's get to it.
Since Covid depression, the only books I'm enjoying are Martin Walker's Bruno, Chief of Police series. Any other series that are sort of gentle (despite all the murders), and sort of smart?
Probably the best author for smart-but-gentle mysteries is my girl Josephine Tey, who was a Golden Age detective novelist. She does a lot of British pastoral stuff (The Franchise Affair opens with a detailed description of a tea tray), but she's not writing a full-blown cozy mystery, which I get the sense is not what you want. Her books aren't thrillers, but they do always get a little bit violent.
Other options: Donna Leon's Guido Brunetti series features a detective in Venice who deeply appreciates his wife's cooking and might scratch some of the same food-plus-travel itch that Bruno does. And Alexander McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series doesn't have very many murders, but it's very sweet and very funny.
I'm looking for fiction that reads like an Edward Hopper painting.
It appears that there is actually a full anthology of short stories inspired by Hopper paintings called In Sunlight or In Shadow, so you are not alone in this request! Otherwise, I think Raymond Chandler will hit right on the mark for that sense of claustrophobic glamour-gone-to-seed. And for a sense of melancholia that's been overexposed to sunlight, you can't beat Joan Didion. Go with Play It As It Lays.
I was hoping you could recommend some modern fantasy or YA fantasy similar to Howl's Moving Castle and Stardust. Looking for something to escape into.
I think you should try Pamela Dean. Her Secret Country trilogy is explicitly designed to follow in the tradition of a Narnia portal-world fantasy, but with a level of character depth and complex mythology that would still hold up to an adult reader, and there are tons of really interesting ideas in those books about why we read and what we get from stories. They're about a group of cousins who meet up every summer to play-act the story of a king's betrayal and murder in a fantasy land of their own imagining. And then one day they walk through a portal and end up living in that fantasy land themselves, where everything is just as they described it, only different.
Dean's Tam Lin might also be up your alley. It's a retelling of the Child ballad of Tam Lin, set in a Midwestern liberal arts college where the classics department is all made up of immortal fair folk in disguise. It's very good at making you want to be sitting in a university library in the middle of winter, drinking tea and making notes on Hamlet while you worry about whether your boyfriend is secretly an Elizabethan actor who sold his soul to the fairies in exchange for immortal youth.
I'd like to find some witty social satires that skewer the upper class. Can you think of some that aren't set in NYC, for a change — maybe somewhere like DC or Southern California, for example?
Curtis Sittenfeld's Eligible might be what you're looking for. It's a contemporary retelling of Pride and Prejudice set in Cincinnati, and it looks very specifically at what it means to be rich in a Midwestern city. I'd also recommend Such a Fun Age, which is an enormously breezy and fast-paced satire of class and race that takes place in Philadelphia.
I'm looking for long, hefty, cerebral puzzle box mystery-ish books that are not afraid to push me into deep and bleak existential and philosophical waters, in which I can drown myself while waiting out snowstorms, pandemics, and joblessness.
This sounds like a very difficult winter! The obvious first call here is Ducks, Newburyport, which is made up of a single sentence that spans a thousand pages and deals with, essentially, all of life. I would also suggest Susanna Clarke's excellent new novel Piranesi, which is fairly compact but absolutely ready to push you into deep philosophical waters (sometimes literally).
Your full email mentioned David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas, so on the off chance you haven't read it, I think you should pick up Italo Calvino's If on a winter's night a traveler, which Mitchell has cited as one of his influences. After that: Maybe some Neil Stephenson? Cryptonomicon might be what you're looking for.
If you'd like me to recommend a book for you, email me at constance.grady@vox.com with the subject line "Ask a Book Critic." The more specific your mood, the better!

Revisiting Schmitt's National Space Exploration Administration
(National Space Exploration Administration logo, as imagined by Ben McGee)
Nearly a year ago, famed geologist, former United States Senator, and former Apollo Astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt recommended what to many was the utterly unthinkable:
Dissolve NASA.
To be frank, I agree with him.
While to those who have paid even a passing visit to this blog, such an admission may seem completely counter-intuitive. But the reality is not that Dr. Schmitt has suddenly turned his back on his own legacy, nor have I on our nation's triumphant space program.
Honoring the NASA Legacy
In an essay he released last year, Dr. Schmitt made a direct call to whoever becomes President in 2013. In it, he made clear that only by wiping away the bloated, competitive, politically-crippled bureaucracy that NASA has become and by forging in its place a leaner, more focused, dedicated Space Exploration agency may we honor the NASA legacy.
The claim made waves when it was released, ruffling the feathers of many of his own contemporaries, but (like most other calls for action) quickly flared out and faded away. Well, I want to re-open the discussion, as this was (in my humble opinion) a damn good idea and one that deserves further promotion and consideration.
With this in mind, let's revisit his logic.
Leadership has Failed Our "Window to the Future"
To quote Dr. Schmitt:
"Immense difficulties now have been imposed on the Nation and NASA by the budgetary actions and inactions of the Bush and Obama Administrations between 2004 and 2012."
"The bi-partisan, patriotic foundations of NASA … gradually disappeared during the 1970s as geopolitical perspectives withered and NASA aged."
"For Presidents and the media, NASA's activities became an occasional tragedy or budgetary distraction rather than the window to the future envisioned by Eisenhower, Kennedy and the Apollo generation."
"For Congress, rather than being viewed as a national necessity, NASA became a source of politically acceptable pork barrel spending in states and districts with NASA Centers, large contractors, or concentrations of sub-contractors."
"Neither taxpayers nor the Nation benefit significantly from this current, self-centered rationale for a space program."
It's actually fairly difficult to argue any of these points, particularly considering the reality that Schmitt comes from a rare position of authority on all points. He's a scientist who has bodily walked on the moon and seen the inner machinations of our congressional system as an elected representative.
But, how could we possibly create a new agency from NASA? Schmitt points out that there is already a precedent for this sort of evolutionary change…
The Precedent for Creating NSEA Has Already Been Set … by NASA
When NASA was formed in 1958, is was forged by combining/abolishing two other agencies. The first was the famed National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA), with its many familiar research centers, (e.g., Glenn, Ames, Langley,) which had been around since 1915. It did not survive the transition.
The second was the Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA), the innovative military space missile (and manned space mission) effort spearheaded by the legendary Wernher Von Braun. All manned spaceflight and space exploration activities were stripped from ABMA and rolled into NASA.
In truth, Schmitt's recommendations for what to do moving forward aren't so drastic as they seem.
Indeed, based on a surprising amount of overlap between NASA activities and those of other scientific national agencies and organizations, they make the utmost sense.
Decommissioning NASA According to Schmitt: A How-To Guide in 6 Easy Steps
Move NASA's space science activities into/under the National Science Foundation, (including Goddard Space Flight Center and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.)
Move NASA's climate and related earth science research into/under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. (My extrapolation: physical space science activities should be wrapped into the United States Geological Survey – with emphasis on the Astrogeology Science Center.)
Place NASA's aeronautical research under the purview of a reconstituted NACA, composed of Langley Research Center, Glenn Research Center, and Dryden Research Center. (California's Ames Research Center, Schmitt proposes, is now redundant and should be auctioned off to commercial spaceflight developers.)
Procure spacecraft launch services exclusively from commercial providers, (SpaceX, ULA, etc.)
Retire NASA as an official agency as the International Space Station is de-orbited by 2025.
Have the 2012-President and Congress recognize that a new Cold War exists with China and "surrogates," and in response create a new National Space Exploration Administration, "charged solely with the human exploration of deep space and the re-establishment and maintenance of American dominance as a space-faring nation."
A Breakdown of NSEA: Young, Lean, Imaginative
What would NSEA look like specifically? Schmitt lays out the proposed agency in compelling detail.
NSEA would gain responsibility for Johnson Space Center (for astronaut training, communications, and flight operations), Marshall Space Flight Center (for launch vehicle development), Stennis Space Center (for rocket engine testing), and Kennedy Space Center (for launch operations).
NSEA's programmatic responsibilities would include robotic precursor exploration as well as lunar and planetary resource identification research, as with the Apollo Program.
Instead of grandfathering the NASA workforce as-is, the new agency according to Schmitt would be almost entirely recomposed and given authority to maintain a youthful workforce – "an average employee age of less than 30." Why? Schmitt claims that, like with Apollo, "Only with the imagination, motivation, stamina, and courage of young engineers, scientists, and managers can NSEA be successful in meeting its Cold War II national security goals."
(Of note is the fact that during the Apollo program, the average age of mission control personnel was 28. The average age of NASA employees is now 47.)
Clearing the Legislative Hurtles Before Beginning the Race
With an eye toward the chronic challenges NASA faces due to regularly shifting budget priorities and directives, Schmitt regards that the legislation that creates NSEA would also be required to include a provision that "no new space exploration project can be re-authorized unless its annual appropriations have included a minimum 30% funding reserve for the years up to the project's critical design review and through the time necessary to complete engineering and operational responses to that review."
This is a much-needed safety net for the inevitable unknowns that are encountered when designing new spaceflight hardware.
The National Space Exploration Agency Charter
Finally, Schmitt penned a charter for this new space agency, which simply reads:
"Provide the People of the United States of America, as national security and economic interests demand, with the necessary infrastructure, entrepreneurial partnerships, and human and robotic operational capability to settle the Moon, utilize lunar resources, explore and settle Mars and other deep space destinations, and, if necessary, divert significant Earth-impacting objects."
Simple. To me, this breaks down as four primary directives: Develop the tech to sustain a human presence off-world. Utilize extraterrestrial resources. Stimulate the American economy and imagination while affording us the opportunity to assert space activities as peaceful endeavors. Develop the ability to protect Earth from NEOs.
I think this is a bold new direction, one which honors the NASA legacy, enables direct, decisive space exploration activities, and streamlines the country's scientific bureaucracy.
Let's talk seriously about this.
Semper Exploro.

Remembering VentureStar
Lockheed Martin's VentureStar spaceplane lifting off from a hypothetical commercial spaceport. (Credit: Lockheed Martin)
With the recent developments in new commercial suborbital spaceplanes, (e.g., XCor's Lynx, Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo, Sierra Nevada/SpaceDev's DreamChaser,) my mind is often turned back toward the premier commercial spaceplane of the late-1990s, which inspired many in my generation toward a career in space science in the first place: the venerable VentureStar.
Test of twin Linear Aerospike XRS-2200 engines performed on August 6, 2001 at NASA's Stennis Space Center. (Credit: NASA-MSFC)
With the VentureStar came the promise of a new era in spaceflight. -A reduction in launch costs by an order of magnitude, a lifting body-wing design with no expendable parts, (called single-stage-to-orbit, or SSTO,) a bevy of composite materials to reduce weight, automated (pilot-less) flight control, and dual linear aerospike engines.
The project, which began at Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works as the X-33 in 1996, was truly next-generation. For those of us keeping watch in high school and early college, so too was the program's use of technology for public outreach and engagement – a webcam streamed live images of X-33's construction.
Due to cost overruns and technical difficulties, NASA scrapped their support of the program in 2001, and Lockheed Martin decided that without assistance their continuing the program alone didn't make business sense. Thus, with a dedicated launch facility constructed at Edward Air Force Base and a prototype 90% complete, was an entire new generation of space enthusiasts turned to cynics.
For me personally as well as for many that I know, having cancelled the program so many of us were rooting for instilled a sense of skepticism that human exploration could ever really take off while its funding was tied to Congress. This meant that the future of space transportation and exploration would be have to be corporate, (which is ironically what Lockheed Martin was attempting to achieve with VentureStar.)
This is why so many of us see NASA support for Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) as a step not only in the right direction but also in the only direction with the possibility of not having the rug swept out from under its feet when a new administration comes in. Hence, as NewSpace entrepreneurs forge their way into the field, I say their battle-cry should quite aptly be, "Remember VentureStar!"
…and with suborbital commercial success, perhaps we'll see our SSTO spaceplane yet.

In this modern scenario, many people use different kinds of applications in order to give the boost to their talent. As like as, a unique application called SoundCloud which is used by many musicians and people in this world. Users have an opportunity to record and upload their music on this unique and their fans will watch or listen the music. Consequently, musicians can easily boost up their career and be famous for spreading their talent. When you upload a video and someone click on the play then that one play automatically counted in the track's stats. In order increase, the Plays into the Track's stats you can buy Soundcloud plays from different online sources. After investing money in it you can easily check out the stats again.
Well, I know about this amazing source of getting the huge number of SoundCloud plays for tracks. One of my friends is a very good singer and always used to give auditions in different studios and got rejected. One day, I have suggested him to join the platform of SoundCloud. After that, he has followed my instructions and start recording & uploading its talent. As a beginner, he did not get too much popularity so we have decided to purchase SoundCloud plays for our music uploads. We spent some dollars on the package in we get 40,000 Soundcloud plays and that we really prove a dramatic support for us. In addition to this, we started uploading new and new music videos on this unique platform. Now my friend becomes a big star on the Soundcloud and he has its fan following.
Moving further, there is no any issue of secularity if you are going to buy the SoundCloud plays. Like some sources ask the account password, which is a wrong thing. Therefore, a realizable service provider never asks you the password.
