Ideals of the Body
Architecture, Urbanism, and Hygiene in Postrevolutionary Paris
By Sun-Young Park
Sun-Young Park
Ideals of the Body: Architecture, Urbanism, & Hygiene in Postrevolutionary Paris
Thursday, March 7th
Modern hygienic urbanism originated in the airy boulevards, public parks, and sewer system that transformed the Parisian cityscape in the mid-nineteenth century. Yet these well-known developments in public health built on a previous moment of anxiety about the hygiene of modern city dwellers. Amid fears of national decline that accompanied the collapse of the Napoleonic Empire, efforts to modernize Paris between 1800 and 1850 focused not on grand and comprehensive structural reforms, but rather on improving the bodily and mental fitness of the individual citizen. These forgotten efforts to renew and reform the physical and moral health of the urban subject found expression in the built environment of the city—in the gymnasiums, swimming pools, and green spaces of private and public institutions, from the pedagogical to the recreational.
In Ideals of the Body, Sun-Young Park, assistant professor of history and art history, reveals how these anxieties about health and social order, which manifested in emerging ideals of the body, created a uniquely spatial and urban experience of modernity in the postrevolutionary capital, one profoundly impacted by hygiene, mobility, productivity, leisure, spectacle, and technology.

Mason Author Series: The Case Against Education with Bryan Caplan
March 29, 2018 August 6, 2018 by Mason Publishing Group
The University Libraries, Mason Publishing,
and the University Bookstore present
Discussing his new book: The Case Against Education: Why the Education System is a Waste of Time and Money
Despite being immensely popular—and immensely lucrative—education is grossly overrated. In The Case Against Education, Bryan Caplan argues that the primary function of education is not to enhance students' skill but to certify their intelligence, work ethic, and conformity—in other words, to signal the qualities of a good employee. Learn why students hunt for easy As and casually forget most of what they learn after the final exam, why decades of growing access to education have not resulted in better jobs for the average worker but instead in runaway credential inflation, how employers reward workers for costly schooling they rarely if ever use, and why cutting education spending is the best remedy.
Caplan draws on the latest social science to show how the labor market values grades over knowledge, and why the more education your rivals have, the more you need to impress employers. He explains why graduation is our society's top conformity signal, and why even the most useless degrees can certify employability. He advocates two major policy responses. The first is educational austerity. Government needs to sharply cut education funding to curb this wasteful rat race. The second is more vocational education, because practical skills are more socially valuable than teaching students how to outshine their peers.
Bryan Caplan is professor of economics at George Mason University and a blogger at EconLog. He is the author of Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids: Why Being a Great Parent Is Less Work and More Fun than You Think and The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose Bad Policies (Princeton). He lives in Oakton, Virginia.
"Would-be students and their parents are rethinking the assumption that a good life is impossible without an expensive degree–not to mention the chase for college admission that begins at kindergarten if not before. [This new book] may help to let out a little more air."–Naomi Schaefer Riley, Wall Street Journal

Virginia Wine: Four Centuries of Change
Featuring author Andrew Painter
"[An] impressive work celebrating the collective and individual achievements of the commonwealth's wine industry "
— Gerald L. Baliles, Governor of Virginia 1986-1990
No state can claim a longer history of experimenting with and promoting viticulture than Virginia—nor does any state's history demonstrate a more astounding record of initial failure and ultimate success. Virginia Wine: Four Centuries of Change presents a comprehensive record of the Virginia wine industry, from the earliest Spanish accounts describing Native American vineyards in 1570 through its astonishing rebirth in the modern era. The author chronicles the dynamic personalities, diverse places, and engrossing personal and political struggles that have established the Old Dominion as one of the nation's preeminent wine regions, an industry that now accounts for nearly $1 billion in annual sales, with more than 275 wineries growing more than 30 varieties of grapes.
Andrew A. Painter is an attorney specializing in land use and zoning. A Virginia native, Andrew has spent more than eight years researching the growth of its wine industry. He is a graduate of the University of Mary Washington, the University of Virginia, and the University of Richmond.
"A detailed, yet readable history that addresses an unmet need for a written record similar to those already available for the world's more established wine regions. Virginia viticulture and winemaking have come of age, and deserve no less."
— Felicia Warburg Rogan, Founder, Oakencroft Vineyard & Winery

Playfair: The True Story of the British Secret Agent Who Changed How We See the World
Featuring author Bruce Berkowitz
William Playfair may be the most famous person you have never heard of. Best known today as the inventor of "statistical graphics"—the line, bar, and pie charts we all use today—Playfair was also a pioneer in strategic analysis, and a secret agent who carried out espionage and subversion against France on behalf of Great Britain.
This is the first book to uncover the full, true account of this remarkable, colorful man—undeniably brilliant, hopelessly flawed, and fundamentally important. Its pages reveal the astounding inventions and adventures of this larger-than-life swashbuckler, rogue, genius, and patriot.
"In addition to being a draftsman, inventor, company promoter, land speculator, economist, patriotic pamphleteer and bank-note counterfeiter, Playfair was a secret agent and international conspirator… He was adept at ducking and weaving from the truth, covering his tracks, mystifying his motives, and protecting his sources. Mr. Berkowitz's Playfair is above all a work of ingenious detection and reconstruction."
Bruce Berkowitz is the author of several books and articles about national security, history, and international relations.

Lincoln Mullen
Discussing his new book: The Chance of Salvation: A History of Conversion in America
While United States has a long history of religious pluralism, Americans have often believed their faith determines their eternal destiny. The result is that Americans switch religions more often than any other nation. The Chance of Salvation traces the history of the distinctively American idea that religion is a matter of individual choice.
Lincoln Mullen shows how Americans' willingness to change faiths has created a shared assumption that religious identity is a decision. As Americans confronted a growing array of religious options in the 19th century, pressures to convert altered the basis of American religion. Evangelical protestants, enslaved and freed African Americans, Mormons, American Jews, and Catholics each developed different views on conversion, divine justice, and redemption.
Lincoln A. Mullen is Assistant Professor in the Department of History and Art History at George Mason University. An historian of American religion, Mullen's digital historical work has also taken him into U.S. legal history and the history of early American elections.
Wall Street Journal Reviews "Playfair"
January 16, 2018 January 24, 2018 by Mason Publishing Group
William Playfair is best known today as a Scottish adventurer of questionable repute who happened to invent "statistical graphics"—the line, bar, and pie charts familiar today. Some may be aware of his theories explaining trade and investment, or his contributions to concepts like price indexes and measures of national power. Even those familiar with his work, however, will be surprised to learn that Playfair was, in fact, a secret agent. Working for top British officials, Playfair planned and executed clandestine operations against the radicalized French Republic. He may have changed the course of the French Revolution; he most certainly transformed statistics, economics, and strategic analysis.
In PLAYFAIR: The True Story of the British Secret Agent Who Changed How We See the World (January 2018), author Bruce Berkowitz uncovers the exploits of this remarkable, colorful man and his most audacious project—an operation to wreck the French economy with counterfeit money. Combining Internet Age methodologies with old-fashioned detective work, Berkowitz proves Playfair's role in this long-rumored operation.
The Wall Street Journal published a review of Playfair in the paper's Saturday-Sunday, January 13-14, 2018 edition. Reviewer Richard Davenport-Hines calls the book "a work of ingenious detection and reconstruction."
Other excerpts from the review include:
"In addition to being a draftsman, inventor, company promoter, land speculator, economist, patriotic pamphleteer and bank-note counterfeiter, Playfair was a secret agent and international conspirator. He used his network of contacts to become a pioneer provider of "all-source" intelligence. He was adept at ducking and weaving from the truth, covering his tracks, mystifying his motives, and protecting his sources."

"Mr. Berkowitz's fascinating visuals show how pie charts, bar graphs, trend lines and suchlike were developed and popularized by Playfair."
"Mr. Berkowitz's precision extends to his punctuation, which will delight old-style grammarians who like to see commas and colons used plentifully, and also correctly."
"Mr. Berkowitz compares Playfair to Forrest Gump, but this frenetic optimist, both crafty and unlucky, who although constantly ambushed and battered by events, irrepressibly sprang back from his bad breaks, is more likely a cartoon character. He was the Wile E. Coyote of his age."

Playfair and the search for elusive truth
November 6, 2017 January 15, 2018 by Mason Publishing Group
In our current political and social environment, it's no secret that truth, and the value of truth, is taking a beating. When truth is under attack, fallacious theories get repeated and "alternative facts" promoted, and when a preference for the spurious is favored, the search for truth becomes ever more critical.
Of course, it can be argued, and frequently has been stated, that truth itself is elusive if not unattainable. "There is no such thing as absolute truth and absolute falsehood," wrote Henry A. Rowland. "The scientific mind should never recognise the perfect truth or the perfect falsehood of any supposed theory or observation. It should carefully weigh the chances of truth and error and grade each in its proper position along the line joining absolute truth and absolute error." (Rowland, Henry A. "The Highest Aim of the Physicist," Science, New Series, Vol. 10, No. 258, Dec. 8, 1899, 825-833, as of November 6, 2017: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1627046 )
Nevertheless, the job of historians, biographers, journalists, and others is to seek out the truth to the best of their ability, relying on facts. Facts can be discovered and brought to light, or manipulated and distorted; the difference is consequential.
This is why university presses exist: to reveal and elucidate facts and bring us ever closer to truth, or at least the threshold of truth.
In our new, forthcoming title, Playfair: The True Story of the British Secret Agent Who Changed How We See the World, author Bruce Berkowitz reveals a journey to uncover a truth that is often hidden, opaque, distorted, refracted by lenses of luck, fate, and personal conflicts of interest.
William Playfair, Commercial and Political Atlas, 1786. Source: Wikimedia Commons
William Playfair, when he is known today, is remembered as the inventor of "statistical graphics," including the line, bar, and pie charts that we still use regularly today (and built into Microsoft Excel). He's a sometime-hero of the Infogeek community. Edward Tufte cited him extensively in The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, and called Playfair one of the great inventors of modern graphical design, who created the "first time series using economic data." (Tufte, Edward, The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, Graphics Press, 1983, 9, 32-34, 64-65, 91-92)
William Playfair also pioneered strategic analysis, essential to our understanding of today's world, and developed theories explaining international trade and investment while making contributions to important concepts like price indexes and measures of national power.
Yet Playfair is generally not well known, some of his contributions remain largely forgotten or ignored, and his reputation has suffered with characterizations by historians that he was a lightweight, flimflam artist, or worse.
As Berkowitz writes: "One might say Playfair is the most famous man you have never heard of. He appears everywhere; he knows everyone. Time and again, he's at the hinge point of history: the Industrial Revolution, the French Revolution, the founding of the United States, the birth of modern economics, the Age of Napoleon. Documents and artifacts link him to influential ideas and famous men. He's the Forrest Gump of his era—except, unlike Gump, he's brilliant, and, unlike Gump, he's not just an accidental witness stumbling on the scene—he's shaping and driving events." (Playfair: The True Story of the British Secret Agent Who Changed How We See the World, page 334)
Berkowitz's marvelous book is as much detective story as biography, a history of Playfair, his exploits and inventions, as well as a history of how the facts and truth about Playfair have been obscured over time.
The booby trap pinning Playfair as a blunderer provides an illustrative example. Playfair apprenticed to James Watt, inventor of the steam engine, who is frequently quoted in articles about Playfair as claiming: "I must warn you, Playfair is a blunderer."
The often-repeated quote makes an early appearance in James Watt and the Steam Engine, by Henry William Dickinson and Rhys Jenkins, first published in 1927. Statisticians Patricia Costigan-Eaves and Michael Macdonald-Ross wrote an influential article about Playfair in Statistical Sciences that repeated the quote. But an examination of the original source, Watt's letters, finds that the quote is a misleading snippet of what is, in fact, Watt's recommendation that Playfair receive a promotion: "I would recall Playfair who can do part of the business, & I think now you are at home you can contrive to gett him proper assistance—I must warn you that Playfair is a blunderer but I dare say he will be assiduous and obedient and plain direction must be given him." While the word "blunderer" sounds a bit damning, it was a frequent epithet employed by Watt, even to himself. (Playfair, 344)
Historian Randolph G. Adams said, "Each generation has to rewrite history for itself-and sometimes from the same sources used by previous generations." (Romney, Rebecca and J.P. Romney, Printer's Error: Irreverent Stories from Book History, Harper Collins, 2017, 284, quoting from Lawrence C. Wroth, Notes for Bibliophiles in the New-York Herald Tribune, 1937-1947, ed. Richard J. Ring, Ascencius Press, 2016, 128) Indeed, in Playfair's case, the various misquotations, passages taken out of context, and even complete fabrications began to accumulate over time, taking on a life of their own, seeping into scholarship as well as popular media.
Another example uncovered by Berkowitz regards Playfair's involvement in the first major political scandal in the newly formed United States. The so-called Scioto Affair was a land speculation gone bad involving Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and George Washington. One historian, Ephraim C. Dawes, largely pinned part of the scandal on Playfair. Berkowitz describes the historical puzzle as a bit like Akira Kurosawa's famous samurai classic, Rashômon, where the witnesses all believe and describe different versions of the same event. Berkowitz shows how Dawes, however, was the great-grandson of Manasseh Cutler, and used his version of the affair to clear his relative's name. A later historian, Theodore Thomas Belote, made Playfair the heavy, as a confidence man, embezzler, and schemer, without relying on historical evidence. Berkowitz uncovers the real story, however, by carefully analyzing original source documents, digging up existing transcriptions of letters that have disappeared, and discovering an unlikely source, a bilingual French schoolteacher who wrote her thesis and, later, a book published in French, about the tangled Scioto affair.
L.S. Stavrianos wrote, "Each generation must write its own history, not because past histories are untrue but because in a rapidly changing world new questions arise and new answers are needed." (Stavrianos, L.S., Lifelines from Our Past: A New World History, M.E. Sharp, 2004, 13).
The most remarkable discovery in Playfair is how the author uncovers evidence that William Playfair diligently proposed, planned, and executed the first covert operation in history to collapse a nation's economy. By printing vast amounts of counterfeit assignats, the paper currency France had adopted to pay for their government and wars, Playfair hoped to dismantle the French economy, in 1793, hindering the French revolution on behalf of the British.
Uncovering the true story was a challenge: Playfair never bragged about it, he never even mentioned it in his unpublished memoirs, and Playfair pioneered and employed elements of espionage "tradecraft" often used today to hide his tracks. Berkowitz uncovered substantial evidence for the op during his journey of writing the book, including various documents and letters. Among them was Playfair's original plan for the counterfeiting operation, written in his hand and dated March 1793, but lost until now, found among Playfair's other correspondence to British Secretary of State for War Henry Dundas. Also among the evidence for the operation were physical specimens: three paper molds found at the Haughton Castle mill. Two of the molds were used for counterfeiting assignats, and a third used for making notes for Playfair's Original Security Bank (a story in and of itself). Berkowitz's book offers an amazing story of finding the molds, mislabeled and misplaced, in Newcastle's Discovery Museum, as he describes, "…Like the last scene of Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark: warehouse workers box the Ark of the Covenant, slot it into a vast sea of crates, and the credits roll as the artifact vanishes into the maw of a bureaucracy" (Playfair, 240).
Berkowitz writes about the importance of examining original source documents when uncovering facts and revealing the elusive truth to a story: "Transcripts [and citations] usually don't include marginal notes, scribbles on the backs of documents, addresses, and postal markings, all of which can sometimes provide clues to piecing together a story. Besides, there's nothing like handling an actual artifact. It's a physical connection between you and the man you're trying to figure out" (Playfair, 239). For this reason, Playfair's endnotes include references not only to the citation used but also, wherever possible, to the original source document.
Berkowitz writes: "Analysis should also be cumulative. Everyone builds on others' work, adding information and insight along the way. (And, when necessary, making corrections.) It's all part of the process of creating knowledge. By making the source material easier to obtain, we hope to encourage others to follow up with their own research" (Playfair, 372).
The book has been an incredible journey, for the author and for our new, fledgling university press. We look forward to your comments and reaction.
Playfair: The True Story of the British Secret Agent Who Changed How We See the World, by Bruce Berkowitz, will be published by the George Mason University Press in November 2017.

Patricia Ferrell Donahue
Discussing her new book: Participation, Community, and Public Policy in a Virginia Suburb
Fenwick Library
Fairfax Campus
Participation, Community, and Public Policy in a Virginia Suburb challenges conventional wisdom about the nature of modern American communities. Through the story of Northern Virginia's Pimmit Hills, she finds many more types of activities shape a community, than just those few typically tracked by social scientists, such as volunteering. Communities are the sum of a wide variety of participation—positive, negative, formal, informal, direct, and indirect. Pimmit Hills's rich history will be familiar to those who grew up in middle-class suburbs, while its proximity to Washington, D.C. makes its story unique.
Patricia Farrell Donahue received her M.A. in public policy from Georgetown University and Ph.D. in public policy from George Mason University. She is the 2014 Recipient of Mason's Robert L. Fisher Award for Best Dissertation and Academic Achievement. She works as a senior policy analyst in the federal government, studying community and economic development, health, banking, defense, housing and other topics. She also serves as a Policy Fellow at Mason's Schar School of Policy and Government.
Open Educational Resources Workshop—October 18, 2017
October 6, 2017 March 6, 2018 by Mason Publishing Group
Discovering and Developing Open Educational Resources for Your Courses
2:00 pm – 3:30 pm, Fenwick Library, Room 1009.
Open Educational Resources (OERs) include materials for teaching, learning, and research that may be freely used and repurposed by others, because they reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license (such as Creative Commons) that permits their use and reuse. The high costs of textbooks have led universities including Mason to advance OER adoption to reduce the cost of instruction for students, improve teaching and learning outcomes, and enable better opportunities for students through open access to quality educational resources.
Mason 4-VA, in collaboration with Mason Publishing in the University Libraries and the Office of Digital Learning in the Stearns Center for Teaching and Learning, has announced a call for proposals to encourage the use of OERs in innovative course redesign.
Competitive grants will be awarded ranging from $1000-$5000, depending on the nature of the work and the level of team collaboration. Larger amounts will be considered for projects that develop original materials. Courses targeted for the pilot include those with high enrollment numbers, are required courses for majors, count in the Mason Core, or carry high textbook costs. As part of this pilot project, Mason Publishing is assisting instructors in developing open textbooks and other open access materials.
RFP Open Educational Resources 2017
Attendees will learn from teams who have successfully incorporated OERs in online and face-to-face classrooms. Participants will also learn about opportunities to develop textbooks and other materials with Mason Publishing, and how to identify and quality open textbooks as a replacement to higher cost textbooks.

Schmidt-Rubin M1889 (Шмидт-Рубин обр. 1889 г.) — швейцарская винтовка времён Первой и Второй мировых войн. Состояла на вооружении армии Швейцарии.

История
Швейцарский физик Фридрих-Вильгельм Хеблер в 1880-е годы проводил опыты над винтовками уменьшенных калибров и разнообразными пулями, пытаясь создать эффективный вариант магазинной винтовки. На тот момент швейцарская пехота была вооружена винтовкой Веттерли 1869/1881, которая стала первой магазинной винтовкой, принятой на вооружение. Винтовка калибром 10,4 мм имела подствольный магазин на 11 патронов. На основании опытов Хеблера в 1889 году швейцарский оружейник Рудольф Шмидт при помощи Эдуарда Рубина (изобретателя пули в твёрдой оболочке) запатентовал новую, эффективную винтовку калибра 7,5 мм под патрон, имеющий бутылочную гильзу без закраины. Модифицировалась несколько раз, в 1959 году была заменена самозарядной винтовкой SG 510. Всего винтовок данной модификации выпущено более 212 тысяч. В целом отличается скорострельностью, плотностью и точностью выстрелов, лёгким и безотказным действием затвора и хорошим ударно-спусковым механизмом.

Описание

Параметры
Масса винтовки 4200 г, со штыком — 4630 г. Длина винтовки 1300 мм. Ствол длиной 780 мм, располагает каналом с тремя нарезами, ход правый, шаг 270 мм. Пуля массой 13,75 г в свинцовой оболочке, расположенной на передней части в бумажной обёртке. Развивает начальную скорость 620 м/с. Заряд пороха массой 2 г.

Форма деталей
Прицел секторный, мушка треугольная. Ствол покрыт сверху деревянной накладкой на длину ствола до мушки. Затвор прямого движения, без поворота рукоятки — представляет собой два параллельных цилиндра. Для запирания служит поворотная трубка с двумя упорами, входящими в кольцевой паз ствольной коробки. Само запирание расположено сзади магазина. Вместо шомпола используется верёвочная протирка. На наконечнике цевья имеется костылек, служащий для составления винтовок в козлы.
Штык с тесачным клинком носится отдельно от винтовки. Ложа из целого куска орехового дерева, шейка простая (не пистолетная).

Стрельба
Курок снабжён кольцом для удобного захвата пальцем при постановке на предохранитель и взведении на боевое состояние. Взведение курка происходит при поворачивании затвора, когда открывают его, оттягивая назад. Ударник имеет отдельный боек. Для постановки курка на предохранительный взвод нужно оттянуть кольцо назад и повернуть вправо. Спуск лёгкий, с предупредителем. Используется серединный двухрядный магазин на 12 патронов, расположенных в шахматном порядке. Подающий механизм состоит из зигзагообразной пластинчатой пружины и подавателя. Для однозарядной стрельбы, когда желают сохранить в магазине патроны, магазин отводят немного вниз. На боковой стенке магазинной коробки просверлен ряд отверстий, чтобы стрелок мог видеть, сколько патронов имеется в магазине. Заряжают винтовку посредством обоймы в два приема по 6 патронов.

People's World to pick up labor journalism prize
November 8, 2010	4:50 PM CST By Barbara Russum
The Peoples World will be in Washington D.C. Nov. 19 where one of its editors will be among those honored by the nation's labor journalists for excellence in their craft.
During the International Labor Communications Association's Media Awards ceremony at the national headquarters of the American Federation of Teachers the Peoples World labor editor, John Wojcik, will receive a feature-writing prize for his Sept. 19, 2009 story, "Steeler Nation Fights Its Way Back."
ILCA judges said about his story: "John Wojcik uses sports fandom as a poignant window into the long-term costs of blue-collar layoffs in the country's heartland…an eloquent argument for an industrial policy in America."
The country's labor press comes together every year to celebrate excellence in labor journalism and to exchange ideas on how to better deliver labor's message in the mass media.

Why Should I Choose VoIP Over Analog?
So, it's time for you to purchase a new business phone system. Which do you choose: the traditional phone system you've used for years or the VoIP phone system you've recently heard about?
While you may have more experience with a traditional analog phone system, a VoIP system can save you money, offer more flexibility and provide you with many essential features. In this article, we'll explain the disadvantages associated with an analog phone system, the advantages of using a VoIP phone system and why a VoIP phone system is the right choice for your business. Then, you'll be able to answer definatively the question, "Why should I choose VoIP over analog?"
Analog phone systems are built on copper wire and run on the POTS (plain old telephone service). This type of phone system has been around for decades.
Even though analog phones are widely recognized, as technology evolves, they're becoming increasingly unpopular for modern businesses.
For starters, their features are extremely limited. Hold, Mute and Redial may have sufficed in the past, but for businesses with thousands of customers all over the world, these features alone won't cut it.
Also, analog systems don't offer much flexibility. For example, if you decide to move your business location, the new office will have to be completely rewired. Flexibility, in terms of working remotely, also isn't available with an analog system. You have to be 100% connect to a wire.
While the startup costs for an analog system may be cheaper, the long term costs are a factor to keep in mind. The configuration, installation, upgrade and management of an analog system can come with quite the price tag.
VoIP phone systems work over the Internet. The system works by sending and receiving voice signals that are packaged as data. VoIP phone systems are offered digitally by many providers around the world.
The features within a VoIP phone system are almost limitless. On top of standard calling features, you'll also have access to IVR/Auto Attendant, Call Recording, Time of Day Routing, Voicemail to Email and many more. These features make working in the modern business world a breeze.
When it comes to flexibility, VoIP phone systems are a real winner. Because they run completely over the Internet, you and your employees can answer phone calls anywhere. This revolutionizes the way businesses operate all around the world because it truly allows your employees to work remotely.
VoIP phone systems are also extremely cost-effective. For starters, since this is an Internet-based phone system, there aren't expensive setup or installation fees. Because the VoIP phone system will be managed by your provider, you also won't be required to purchase hardware, equipment or be worried about any maintenance costs. You simply pay a monthly "per seat" fee for access to your provider's service.
The current trend in phone systems is the movement away from hardware and the switch to software. It's easy to see why. VoIP phone systems are flexible, cost effective and provide a number of essential calling features. If you think your business could benefit from a VoIP phone system, talk to your service provider about making the switch.


S15 draw: Bulls have it toughest in SA?
Sydney - Coach Michael Cheika says he is working on the mental obstacles as the Wallabies chase a rare win over the Springboks on the Highveld in the Rugby Championship.
The Wallabies left for South Africa on Saturday with Cheika aiming to break Australia's struggles against the Springboks in Tests at high altitude.
The Wallabies tackle the Springboks at Bloemfontein on September 30 at the venue where they last won at high altitude seven years ago.
Australia have won just three Tests overall on the Highveld in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Bloemfontein and only once in the last 54 years.
Cheika said Australia's woeful record is not purely down to the physical demands of playing at 1500 metres (around 5,000 feet) above sea level.
"I don't know, I just think it might be in our head," Cheika told reporters before the team's departure.
"You've just got to go there and do your best.
"For us it's just about this group of players getting a bit smarter, playing a bit more consistently, then we'll see where we land."
Cheika said the Wallabies needed to up their game if they wanted to improve their poor record against the Springboks.
"It's been a while since we've won there and to be honest, we haven't accumulated a whole lot of wins over there (in South Africa) full stop.
"And if we want to take stepping stones to be a better team, we've got to be able to be mentally strong enough."
The Wallabies are preparing for a backlash in Bloemfontein after the South Africans were routed 57-0 in a record loss to the All Blacks in Auckland last week.
The Springboks are vowing to take it out on Australia after going down by a record margin, eclipsing their 53-3 defeat to England in 2002.
South Africa had previously held the Wallabies to a 23-23 draw the week before in Perth on their way to New Zealand, and lie second on the Rugby Championship standings three points ahead of Australia.
Lock Adam Coleman (ribs) is the Wallabies' only fitness concern.
There are three uncapped players in the 32-man Wallabies squad - Queensland Reds lock Lukhan Tui, Western Force centre Billy Meakes and Reds centre Izaia Perese.
The Wallabies will travel to Argentina after their South Africa Test match to face the Pumas in Mendoza on October 7 to complete their Rugby Championship campaign.

In an email sent to its users, ride hailing app Uber says the app will no longer be available in the Philippines.
This leaves Grab as the only ride hailing application currently operating in the country. Other similar apps or services are still securing approval from the Land Transportation Regulatory Board (LTFRB).
In March 2018, Grab acquired Uber's Southeast Asia assets. In exchange, Uber got a 27.5% stake at the company.
This includes countries such as Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Grab is already worth billions of dollars and holds majority of the SEA market. On the other hand, Uber can now focus in areas where it is flourishing including the US and India.
Uber's email to its users.
Now that it has officially ceased operation in the country, Uber encouraged its users to use Grab for their transportation needs.
The company assured that no user data was transferred to Grab. Users will have to download the app, register and start from scratch in their ride points and other promotions.
Meanwhile, Uber drivers are now in the process of transferring to Grab. This means more Grab cars and taxis as well as more passengers in one platform.

Cramer Remix: Patience is key in today's market
Published Mon, Sep 24 2018 6:59 PM EDT Updated Mon, Sep 24 2018 7:06 PM EDT
Lizzy Gurdus@lizzygurdus
CNBC's Jim Cramer makes a case for maintaining a long-term outlook in this market.
The "Mad Money" host also sits down with J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon.
Cramer also hears from Adam Schefter, a renowned sports reporter who just released a sobering book on 9/11.
may be to buy European cable operator Sky PLC, but the market is reacting far too harshly to what could be a very lucrative deal for Comcast, CNBC's said Monday.
"The textbook example of Wall Street's aversion to long-term thinking is really the stock of Comcast, the parent company of this network, down 6 percent today," the "Mad Money" host said. "Because many investors despise long-term investments, the stock had its . "
While he thought the narrative around Comcast's interest in buying Sky had been muddied by unfounded worries around cord-cutting, Cramer could understand why investors were concerned.
In Comcast's last two major acquisitions — buying AT&T Broadband in 2001 and buying NBCUniversal, parent to CNBC, in 2009 — investors were equally shaky, Cramer said. After each deal, shares of Comcast tanked roughly 7 percent because "the deals were viewed as too expensive and too risky," he said.
But since the AT&T deal, Comcast's stock has not only recovered, but built on its gains, giving investors a total return of 392 percent versus the 349 percent gain. Since the NBCUniversal deal, Comcast is up 425 percent versus the S&P index's 220 percent.
"On Wall Street, the two most dreaded words in the English language are 'long' and 'term,'" Cramer joked. "When you start talking about long-term earnings, the hedge fund guys will smile, they'll nod and then they'll rush to sell your stock."
In the case of Comcast, however, short-term-focused investors have long been proven wrong, the "Mad Money" host said.
"I think these bears have got it backwards: long-term thinking is essential; short-term thinking is dead-end," Cramer said.

J.P. Morgan CEO talks policy, running for office
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase
Mark Urban | CNBC
In a time when and seem to be exploring presidential bids, Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon told CNBC that he's content with staying on the sidelines.
Referencing his that he could beat President in an election, Dimon the comment in a Monday interview with Cramer.
"It was on my mind because people mentioned it, but it's not what I want to do," he said in the interview. "I don't think I would be good at it. I'm not a political person, per se."
And besides, "I think it's probably too soon for a banker" to run for president, the CEO said.
Instead, Dimon, who has run J.P. Morgan for over a decade, said he wanted to turn his focus to "policy that matters," pointing to "seriously policy issues" around infrastructure, taxation, regulation, education, neighborhood development, affordable housing, opioids and income inequality.

Cramer has long backed the "humanization of pets" theory — the notion that how much people spend on their pets is continually rising — but the latest animal-focused entrant to the public market did not fit Cramer's bill.
Last week, pharmaceutical giant spun off via an . A drug and vaccine developer, Elanco is a leader in medicinal feed additives, with 63 percent of its sales coming from food animals like chicken.
And while investors sent shares of Elanco up 50 percent in their first trading day, Cramer wasn't as thrilled about the company's prospects.
"As much as I like corporate breakups and the humanization of pets and the rising popularity of chicken and other proteins, I can't recommend Elanco [Animal] Health right here, versus, say, for value or for growth, " Cramer said, noting two of his favorite competitors.

ESPN's Adam Schefter on new book about 9/11
Scott Mlyn | CNBC
Many know Adam Schefter as one of the nation's leading sports reporters, but the ESPN journalist's recent book "The Man I Never Met" sheds light on a more sobering part of his family's past.
The book, an extension of an article Schefter wrote for ESPN commemorating the 15th anniversary of 9/11, takes an inside look at the life of Joe Maio, Schefter's wife's ex-husband who perished during the attack.
"I can't imagine that there are very many people who have ever written a book about their spouse's first spouse, certainly not in a flattering way," Schefter told Cramer in an exclusive interview. "This book is a way to honor Joe's memory, to give his son a chance to better know his father, his biological father, and for everybody to get to know the great Joe Maio. And this was a great man, Jim."
Schefter added that the book is not only a tribute to his wife and to Joe, but a message "that life does go on, that there is hope after grief [and] that there are heartwarming stories that come out of heartbreak."
"It goes to show you that life is not some Instagram post that we see every day where everything is great and joyous and happy all the time. We have a lot of happiness in our life. We all do. But there's some sadness and there's some reality as well," Schefter said.

The big misunderstanding with buybacks
Few things get Cramer more riled up than when journalistic reports assume that individual investors "are too dumb to understand the workings of the stock market," the "Mad Money" host said Monday.
"That's my take every time I read another story bemoaning the fact that buybacks artificially inflate a company's earnings per share, making them inherently phony," he told viewers.
Cramer referenced reports that suggested corporate share buybacks were "manufactured" by companies to boost earnings per share. The key thing they were missing was the fundamental idea that buybacks help taper market demand by "sopping up supply," he argued.
"There's only so much supply of stock to go around, and this voracious demand keeps pushing us higher. Layer in the mergers and acquisitions in the S&P 500 and the lack of new equity issuance by companies in that index and the misunderstood buybacks, and you've got the makings of a genuine stock shortage," he said.
So, while buybacks can artificially boost a company's earnings-per-share growth, they have the power to boost share prices in a market where index fund buying is drastically reducing the amount of stock available, Cramer argued.
Here's how legendary investor Warren Buffett views the long-term power of buybacks.
Lightning round: International Paper and the straw debate
In Cramer's lightning round, he shared his take on callers' favorite stocks:
: "[The ] makes tons of sense, but I've got to tell you, it has not translated to earnings. Why? Because people feel there's too much capacity coming on. A lot of times when you can't see the capacity coming on, like with Micron – that's what happened to Micron's stock, which you know I think has bottomed – you end up being in a situation where you say, 'Wow, what is the hidden problem here?' It's capacity. "
: "I don't have a catalyst. I don't know why I should recommend it other than a 4 percent yield and, frankly, that's not enough to pull the trigger for."

Cycling is the sport in which the bike is used and it is controlled by the International Cycling Union (UCI).
As regards the classic sport cycling, historically exist three main specialties: the track cycling, road cycling and cyclocross. From the eighties it has had much diffusion even off-road cycling, mountain biking. Then there are also the BMX competitions, those of trials, those of indoor cycling (divided into artistic cycling and cycle ball) and those of para-cycling. These eight disciplines are those recognized by the UCI.
Road cycling is probably the most widespread, practiced and followed cycling discipline. The races, which usually take place from February to October, are divided into two types: one-day races and stage races.
Among the most famous races of one-day, called "classical", are the Milan-San Remo, Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, Liege-Bastogne-Liege and the Tour of Lombardy. Even the world championships are added in the calendar, which are held annually, and the Summer Olympic Games, every four years.
In recent years the discipline of mountain biking has spread, played with special bicycles, mountain bikes on off-road paths.
There are several specialties, characterized by different organization of the competitions, a different path, transport and equipment. The main ones are the cross country, the marathon (or granfondo), downhill, dual slalom, the four-cross and cross country eliminator.
The most important races are also in this case the world championships of all the specialties above, the trials of the World Cup, continental championships and solely for cross country, proof of the Olympic Games specialties.

Game of the Round
— 25 May, 2012
By Guest Writer Stephen Gallagher
GAME OF THE ROUND: ROUND 12 – Melbourne Storm V Brisbane Broncos – Friday, AAMI Park 19.30 local time.
LAST WEEK: Both sides got the two points, the bye was no opposition for Melbourne or Brisbane.
THIS WEEK: The Storm will be hurting, after the Cronulla Sharks put a dent on their perfect start to the season. Not accustom to losing, the Storm have another tough opponent in the Broncos. Melbourne will benefit heavily if all their Origin stars back up. No doubt they will be fatigued after what will be an encounter of epic proportions for them on Wednesday. Melbourne will be slick, and hard to handle.
Broncos fans will be nervous and excited for this one. A true tough opposition and a slight purple patch in their form has seen them drop their last two games. A win here would see those two games overlooked as they would have toppled the giants. Both sides contribute well to Origin, and for Brisbane they will be hoping their stars have not been battered too badly. This is such a crucial match for both teams, and I do not see anyone missing this unless it's through injury.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Ruthlessness. Melbourne would have been analysing what went wrong against Cronulla. Their Big Three were shut down well by the Sharks and they will be looking for ways to avoid that. The Storm are such a clinical side, and when the pressure is on they know how to come up trumps. Don't let a loss fool you, as they will be even bigger and better this week.
Brisbane have been somewhat out of sorts, if you can call it that. As rare as it is to lose for this club, two in a row was unseen. They thrive on success, and that comes from starting off well. The forwards are the biggest factor for this team. They have all the experience in the world and that's exactly what they need in this tough encounter.
THE BATTLE OF: The fullbacks. Billy Slater went head to head against his Brisbane counterpart Josh Hoffman at international level, and got one up on him with a Kangaroos win. Hoffman would love to get an upset and square the ledger. Both fearless and aggressive under the high ball. Both known try scorers too. Billy Slater is the worlds best fullback currently, and quite possibly of all time. The new kid on the block would love to show him what he's made of. Such talents at the back and will be lighting up the offence with their brilliance.
KEEP YOUR EYE ON: Ryan Hinchcliffe – Unluckily missing out on New South Wales selection as the utility, he would love to prove Ricky Stuart wrong with a stand out performance.
Ben Hunt – Filling in for the injured Peter Wallace, he has a lot of talent and will be so keen to prove he is first grade material.
Will the Origin starts back up? And if so, will all of them? This is the thought on everyone's mind, fans and coaches alike. I can't see the Storm losing two in a row, and not at home either. Melbourne will be too strong for the Broncos. 20-10.

EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENT: Read Farrah Fawcett's Will; Ryan O'Neal Not Mentioned
Nov. 16 2009, Published 5:30 a.m. ET
Farrah Fawcett left $4.5 million to her son Redmond, $100,000 to an ex-lover and nothing to long-time love Ryan O'Neal and the other cast of characters who fought over her cancer documentary during the star's final days.
EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENT: Read Farrah's Will
RadarOnline.com has exclusively obtained a copy of Farrah's will and it reveals that she did not get her final wish - to die at home.
The will was updated for the final time on August 9th, 2007. Farrah died from anal cancer on June 25, 2009 at age 62.
In the will Farrah made clear that she wanted to die at home.
In paragraph 5.2 a the will states: ""Settlor (Farrah) declares that she wishes to remain at home for as long as possible during any period of illness or incapacity and to die at home."
The former Charlie's Angel star passed away at St. John's hospital in Santa Monica, California.
In addition to leaving the bulk of her fortune to son Redmond, the official documents reveal Farrah left $500,000 to her nephew Greg Walls, $500,000 to her father James and $100,000 to ex-lover Greg Lott.
Ryan O'Neal, Craig Nevius and Alana Hamilton Stewart all were not named in the will. Alana filmed much of Farrah's final documentary and wants to release a part two. Ryan claimed he asked Farrah to marry him in her final days and made several tearful TV appearances.
Ryan O'Neal Copes At Beach Home
Nevius claimed that O'Neal and Hamilton pushed him out of Farrah's cancer documentary in her final days.
Lott spent the past few months claiming to various media outlets that he was Farrah's secret boyfriend. He told a British newspaper he last spoke to her April 9 and says that Ryan banned him from seeing her.


The Niau swimsuit is designed to be worn as surfwear for all surf conditions as well as a body. The Niau is everything you need in a one piece: stylish and easy-to-wear, a low-cut scooped back with crossed straps for a perfect fit and a flattering shape. Koa babes wear it in the ocean and combined with high waist jeans as a body.
The under-breast length is 76cm for XS, 79cm for S, 81cm for M, 85cm for L and hip length is 88cm for XS, 90cm for S, 94cm for M, 98cm for L.
Gives you a nice decollete hahaha but also stays on in the surf. I purchased it with a different bottom as the other ones are the best for surfing.
Comfortable, perfect for surfing and long lasting. Designs are beautiful. Everything a surfer girl needs.
Absolutely Love my Nahoea bikinis! They are so beautiful and at the same time great for surfing that I have couple of them in different colours. It keeps everything in place when out there playing with the waves, big waves, small waves, wipeouts, good for all.
I use the Nahoea top with the Uhane bottom for surfing and for lazy beach days the Nahoea top and bottom. Either if you are surfing or just enjoying the beach, I can definitely recommend the Koa bikinis, beautiful and practical at the same time, and an extra plus is the tops that are 2 colour reversible.

Xenoabe UX
Experience & Product Designer
Cartoon Network Video App
To go beyond the typical on-demand experience of most television networks and create a Pandora-esque experience for video.
We knew we needed both an on demand and a Pandora like experience so we had to figure out how to meld the two together. We settled on the bold idea to make the decision for the user and land them on the Pandora like experience and allow access to the on demand area. We called the Pandora like experience The Mix and started designing from there.
We took a room that was not used very often and filled it with post-it notes of features, personas, and early sketches/wireframes of ideas. We then had daily and weekly meetings with various stakeholders to discuss specific features and areas of the app.
UX and Design worked very closely on this project. We spent time wireframing and doing design exploration of the various areas and features of the app. We would review those various stakeholders to get sign off.
Once we got a good portion of the design in we brought in the outside vendor who was going to develop the app. Ideally, I like to work with a developer from the very beginning of a project but we had to wait until we could bring the outside vendor in as early as they could manage and still maintain our budget.
Development Stage
We had discussions with our developers about how feasible our ideas were. Sometimes we had to make compromises with our designs and sometimes we had to push the developer to try some new and unorthodox techniques to accomplish a design.
Our internal design, UX, and production teams worked very closely with the developer to accomplish what we set out to create.
Evangelism Stage
Other areas of the network had been brought in at various stages to provide insight into how this app would affect their worlds. Once we got close to completion of development we really began to evangelize the app and what we created across the network. Buy in was fantastic and other departments began to rethink how they would work in the future to support the success of the app.
The app launched on July 3rd and was a huge success. We increased video plays and time spent in the app by significant margins. The success has continued to be much larger than it was with the previous iteration of our flagship app. We continue to work on updates and improvements to roll out to enhance our users' experiences with the app.
Post Launch
We've continued to make improvements to the app. These improvements are mostly based around enhancing the user experience and increasing the ability to personalize and tailor the app to each user's individual needs and desires. There have been some revenue enhancing improvements as well. Those are always balanced out with the experience so as not to push users away. We've even reduced the amount of ads shown to users based on early feedback.
We have many improvements currently in the pipeline and we're very excited about some much larger user-facing improvements that are set to launch in the next year or two.

Where Passion Meets Retail
As consumers, it's hard to discount the convenience of Amazon. Without leaving the comfort of your home, you can have almost any product delivered to your doorstep in just a couple of days. But, when you think about the best retail experiences that you have had, chances are good that Amazon doesn't hold a candle to what brick and mortar stores offer.
As retailers, you have the power to drive tremendous loyalty through store visits. When stores run smoothly and consumers have top notch experiences, online alternatives can't compete. Here are three reasons why the best retail experiences occur in stores and not online:
Matt Farah, host of The Smoking Tire, recently shared an experience he had at O'Reilly Auto Parts store that highlights the role of retail stores when you need something right away. He says, "I was filming All Cars Go to Heaven 2, a movie about purchasing an old car on Craigslist and driving it 800 miles, offroad, in Utah. While filming, I needed something "right now," in the way that you do when you're stuck on the side of the road, with no cell service, in the middle of nowhere with a Toyota Previa that just released all its oil onto the pavement below."
Matt hitched a ride into a small town and found the local O'Reilly Auto Parts store. He says, "The part I needed, a drain plug, was in-stock, along with the oil for the car I was driving. I was in and out of there in minutes. I felt pure joy. With that part in hand, I was saved right then, not in two or three days. Filming could begin again."
Associate Engagement
Consumers love visiting retail businesses that hire associates who are passionate about the products they sell. Stores like Home Depot and Sephora are famous for their associates' product knowledge and ability to help you kick off a home project or find that perfect lipstick. YouTube videos are great, but there's nothing like holding a product in your hands while an experienced and passionate associate shares advice and tips and tricks. It's why many customers choose to shop in-store and seek out passionate associates and why there will always be a place for brick and mortar stores.
Have you ever walked into a store to pick up one thing but walked out with three? That's the power of retail merchandising and great store execution. When HQ is able to effectively communicate promotions and campaigns with store teams, stores run better. Why? Store leaders are able to spend more time with their associates, who can engage more effectively with customers to share new products.
Zipline customer, BevMo! found that when they solved their communications problems between HQ and stores, customers bought more. Jessica Siwy, Sr. Manager of Store Operations & Customer Service explains, "The efficiencies we have achieved in our communications program mean that our promotions are more successful. Our store teams, our heroes, are spending more time with customers and they're buying more."
As Jessica from BevMo! describes, a lot rides on how HQ empowers its associates to be well-trained, responsive to customer needs and happy to represent the brand. Retailers that do this well will drive loyalty and build customers for life.
If you are looking for ways to drive customer loyalty, start by looking at how comms flow from HQ to your store leaders and associates. Want to learn more? Check out our Introduction to Store Communications for retailers, then reach out. We would love to chat.

Syzkaller can be instructed to execute programs under
[strace](https://strace.io/) and capture the output.

If the `strace_bin` is set to an `strace` binary, syzkaller will automatically
run each reproducer it managed to find under the `strace` binary.
* If a syz-manager is attached to a `dashboard`, syzkaller will upload the
  resulting output as a normal log file if the generated reproducer still
  managed to produce the same crash.
* Otherwise, the output of strace will be saved to a separate file and will be
  accessible through the syz-manager's web interface.

## How to compile the strace binary

It is safer to compile `strace` as a statically linked binary in order to
prevent problems with mismatching libc versions on the kernel image used for
fuzzing.

```
git clone https://github.com/strace/strace.git
cd strace
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-mpers=no LDFLAGS='-static -pthread'
make -j`nproc`
```

The resulting binary can be found at `src/strace`.

## syz-crush

It's possible to instruct `syz-crush` to run the attached repro under strace. In
order to do so, make sure `strace_bin` is specified in the syz-manager config
file and pass an extra `-strace` arugment to the command arguments.

## syz-repro

If `-strace file-name.log` is appended to the `syz-repro`'s arguments, the tool
will run the resulting repro (if it managed to generate one) under strace and
save its output.

Kevin Steele Returns to Alabama; Vigor Coach Stevenson Also Brought On Board
Nick Saban moves to fill two openings on his staff with some familiar names.
By CB969@CB969onRBR Updated Feb 15, 2013, 3:50pm CST
Share All sharing options for: Kevin Steele Returns to Alabama; Vigor Coach Stevenson Also Brought On Board
Kevin Steele and Dabo Swinney do not look happy.
Rob Carr
Former coach Kevin Steele has agreed to return to the Capstone as Nick Saban's Director of Player Personnel. His duties will include assisting with camps and clinics as well as handling other administrative and operational duties.
Steele headed up the Crimson Tide's defense 2007 and was Associate Head Coach in 2008 before moving on to be Defensive Coordinator for Dabo Swinney's Clemson Tigers in 2009. You may recall that Steele was fired after an embarrassing 70-33 loss to West Virginia in the 2012 Orange Bowl.
He has made many stops on his career including a disastrous four years as Baylor's Head Coach (9-36, 1-31 from 1999 to 2002) and has been an assistant at Florida State, Nebraska, Carolina Panthers, Oklahoma State, New Mexico State and two stops at his alma mater Tennessee.
This seems like an odd move for Steele. The position he is taking is practically an entry level one in the coaching world. But I guess the rent is due and the phone was not ringing...
Also added to the Alabama staff is former Vigor High School coach Kerry Stevenson as Director of Player Development. Stevenson spent the last ten seasons in Prichard, Alabama coaching the Wolves football team.
The highlight of his tenure came in 2008 when his team went 15-0 and claimed a State Championship. His 2011 team was the state runner-up. Two of his former players, Jalston Fowler and Marvin Shinn, are on the Tide's current roster.
This is a good move for Stevenson. I am sure he probably realized the time was right.
UPDATE: Reports are in that former Florida International Head Coach Mario Cristobal will be announced as the new offensive line coach. Christobal, a former offensive lineman for the Miami Hurricanes, was fired after going 27-47 in 6 seasons at FIU. He led the Panthers to the school's only two winning seasons and only two bowl games in their short 11 season history in 2010 and 2011 before finishing 3-9 this past season.
