Q: Spray route with ask pattern expects ToResponseMarshallable I'm trying to my first Spray + Akka project work.
Although this looks like straight forward, I still get a type error with the unmarshaller (which I don't need, I'm returning a String because I'll produce nothing but XML in the end.
package com.example.actors

import akka.actor.{Props, ActorContext, Actor}
import akka.util.Timeout
import spray.http.CacheDirectives.`max-age`
import spray.http.HttpHeaders.`Cache-Control`
import spray.routing._
import spray.http._
import MediaTypes._
import scala.concurrent.duration._

class SprayActor extends Actor with DefaultService {
  def actorRefFactory = context
  def receive = runRoute(defaultRoute)
}

trait DefaultService extends HttpService {
  def actorRefFactory: ActorContext

  lazy val feedActor = actorRefFactory.system.actorOf(Props[MainFeedActor])

  import akka.pattern.ask

  implicit val timeout = Timeout(5 seconds) // needed for `?` below

  val defaultRoute = path("rss") {
    get {
      respondWithMediaType(`text/xml`) {
        respondWithHeaders(`Cache-Control`(`max-age`(0))) {
          complete {
            (feedActor ? "rss").mapTo[String]
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

class MainFeedActor extends Actor {
  val log = Logging(context.system, this)

  override def receive: Receive = {
    case "rss" => "<xml>test</xml>"
  }

Here is the compiler error:
[error] src/main/scala/com/example/actors/SprayActor.scala:31: type mismatch;
[error]  found   : scala.concurrent.Future[String]
[error]  required: spray.httpx.marshalling.ToResponseMarshallable
[error]             (feedActor ? "rss").mapTo[String]
[error]                                      ^
[error] one error found
[error] (compile:compile) Compilation failed

A: The response marshaling in spray is quite complex using the magnet pattern, which makes it very powerful and adjustable (e.g. by just adding an import of SprayJsonSupport automatically all JSON compatible case classes are valid responses).
A lot of the default resolutions do not work because one or the other implicit is missing. In this case, for futures to be working the ExecutionContext is missing. Try adding this to the Service:
private implicit def ec = actorRefFactory.dispatcher

Definitely give the linked article a read, helped me a lot of understanding spray better.

A strong site search is critical to success in eCommerce. The tools and functionality that EasyAsk provides, gives us confidence that our customers will find the gifts they're looking for quickly and easily.
Personalization Mall is one of those sites where the shopper's experience is everything. When shopping for gifts that will be cherished for years to come, the buyer wants to have the same positive experience when making their purchase as their recipient has when they receive the gift.
Personalization Mall's shoppers are on the hunt for that perfect, personalized keepsake gift that will be treasured for years to come. PMall wants to be sure to provide them that gift quickly, regardless of how the shopper asks for it. If the search engine offers intelligent and intuitive natural language search, the shopper will get much more accurate results. How the shopper searches should be up to them. Prior to implementing EasyAsk, PMall was using a homegrown keyword based system that was not providing a satisfying search experience for their shoppers. It was just not smart enough to handle the challenge of customers entering more than just one keyword.
Because EasyAsk has a cutting edge semantic engine, it is able to interpret synonyms as well as provide a greater understanding of word nuances such as pluralities and tenses. PMall saves time on product keyword assignment since they entrust EasyAsk to better understand the relationship between similar keywords. This means that regardless of what word the shopper uses, the engine returns what the shopper wants. This limits the need to explicitly tag each product with every possible keyword variation – an added bonus, since the Merchandisers have less work to do maintaining the system, they can focus their time elsewhere.
Merchandisers are able to use the tool to improve user experiences for non-product queries entered into the search field, too. By defining searches related to common questions like shipping rates and catalogs, they are able to direct customers more efficiently to the answers they need.
Sales on the PersonalizationMall.com website were burgeoning and PMall needed a search solution that better understood their catalogue and provided more accurate results to their shoppers. With over 14,000 active skus in 700 categories and over 200 product types in their catalogue, PMall needed a high performing solution to quickly process data and return accurate search results.
Because of EasyAsk's understanding of such a rich catalogue and its ability to index the data within every field in the catalogue, PMall can create navigational attributes to help their shoppers. Offering multi-selectable options, shoppers can quickly and easily drill down to find that perfect gift. Additionally, because of EasyAsk's ability to streamline the indexing of their catalogue, PMall saw the performance they wanted in the memory cache index. This in turn provides their shoppers with fast, reliable and accurate results, every time.
Shopping trends change from year to year and without strong analytic capabilities, a website can quickly grow static. PMall found their homegrown system was not providing them with the data they needed to make educated decisions regarding shopping trends. This critical need for analytical data was necessary to keep the website fresh by providing insight into the minds of the shopper.
Because of the limited navigation space offered on smartphones and tablets; search, as opposed to navigation, is even more important on a mobile device.
PMall has noted that their mobile conversion rates have been increasing faster than desktop conversion rates, which is reducing the gap between the two. They attribute this both to their internal optimization efforts, improvements in device functionality and increasing comfort and familiarity among customers with their smart devices. Because EasyAsk provides the right results on the first page, mobile users are much more likely to make their purchase. Scrolling past the first page to find what they are looking for is a sure way to send your potential shoppers off to your competition.
Whether using the search bar or using talk-to-text, Personalization Mall and EasyAsk ensure that shoppers find what they want whether they are searching on a big or small screen.
EasyAsk is a well-featured highly scalable search engine, that allows us to integrate a high performance search capability into our system seamlessly. For the past 6 years, EasyAsk has shown complete reliability with minimal maintenance needed.
Since implementing EasyAsk, PMall has seen a site conversion rate that averages around 2-3x the industry average. With its flexible implementation, seamless integration and high performance, EasyAsk's eCommerce search solution has given PMall's shoppers the ability to efficiently find the products they're looking for, which is a critical element in sustaining that success.
PersonalizationMall.com was founded in 1998 with headquarters located in Burr Ridge, Illinois. Their goal is to serve their customers by making personalized gift buying quick and easy. Their revolutionary preview technology takes the guesswork out of personalization, by allowing you to see what your gift will look like, personalized with your details, before you buy it!
EasyAsk is an Enterprise class solution with some of the largest eCommerce properties on the web as their clients. Based in Burlington, Massachusetts, EasyAsk has long been a leader in eCommerce shopping software, The North Face, Timberland, Journey's, Personalization Mall, United Notions Aramark, TrueValue, and Harbor Freight Tools, just to name a few rely on the EasyAsk software products to run eCommerce operations daily.

Affiliated Managers (AMG) to Partner With Inclusive Capital
Zacks Equity Research
June 24, 2020, 5:56 AM ·4 min read
Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. AMG has announced that it will be a minority equity partner to the recently founded San Francisco-based independent investment firm, Inclusive Capital Partners. Notably, Inclusive Capital Partners has been launched, following the completion of ValueAct Capital Management's long-term succession plan, initially established in 2007.
ValueAct Capital Management is a longtime affiliate of Affiliated Managers. Its founder, Jeffrey W. Ubben, will retire from ValueAct Capital and continue to manage the ValueAct Spring Fund after he transitions to Inclusive Capital Partners.
Affiliated Managers' president and CEO, Jay C. Horgen, stated, "The success of this generational transition has enabled ValueAct founder Jeff Ubben to retire and launch Inclusive Capital Partners, which will focus on the important mission of allocating capital to corporate leaders who prioritize long-term responsible decision-making. AMG's investment in ValueAct was the first investment I led upon joining AMG, which has now come full-circle."
He added, "Long-term sustainability has been at the very heart of AMG's business strategy since inception, in working closely with Affiliates to design and implement management succession over time and support Affiliate growth initiatives. We are very pleased with the excellent execution of ValueAct's succession plan over the past decade, which has resulted in the successful transition from the founding generation to a truly outstanding next generation of partners, led by CEO Mason Morfit, and we are highly confident in ValueAct's forward prospects."
In fact, Mr. Ubben said, "Inclusive Capital Partners will seek to demonstrate that high returns should accrue to businesses that responsibly and creatively address environmental and societal problems by using sustainable business models, and we have partnered with stakeholders who we believe are world pioneers in wildlife, conservation, governance, and social equality to help encourage companies to embrace these principles. I am thrilled to announce the formation of Inclusive Capital Partners as the next iteration of my investing career."
Supported by a strong balance sheet and liquidity position, Affiliated Managers has considerable capability to invest in other companies and is expected to continue generating meaningful growth through new investments. The company has been targeting investments in alternatives and global strategies, given the strong preference of investors for the same.
Despite the coronavirus outbreak-induced economic uncertainty, rising demand for equity and alternative strategies among institutional clients are expected to aid the company's profitability, going forward.
Shares of Affiliated Managers have gained 46% over the past three months compared with the industry's rally of 33.3%.
Currently, the company carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Q: Hadoop environment variables I'm trying to debug some issues with a single node Hadoop cluster on my Mac. In all the setup docs it says to add:
export HADOOP_OPTS="-Djava.security.krb5.realm=OX.AC.UK -Djava.security.krb5.kdc=kdc0.ox.ac.uk:kdc1.ox.ac.uk"

to remove this error:
Unable to load realm info from SCDynamicStore

This works, but it only seems to work for STDOUT.  When I check my Hadoop logs directory, under "job_###/atempt_###/stderr" the error is still there:
2013-02-08 09:58:23.662 java[2772:1903] Unable to load realm info from SCDynamicStore

I'm having great difficulty loading RVM Rubies into the Hadoop environment to execute Ruby code with Hadoop streaming.  STDOUT is printing that RVM is loaded and using the right Ruby/gemset but my STDERR logs:
env: ruby_noexec_wrapper: No such file or directory

Is there some way to find out what path Hadoop is actually using to execute the jobs, or if it's invoking some other environment here?
Further background:
I'm using Hadoop 1.1.1 installed via Homebrew. It's setup in a manner very similar to "INSTALLING HADOOP ON MAC OSX LION" and debugging an implementation of wukong 3.0.0 as the wrapper for executing Hadoop jobs.

A: To answer my own question so other's can find it.
I appeared to be loading rvm in my hadoop-env but I must have not restarted the cluster after adding it.  To make sure your rubies and gemsets are loaded, add the standard rvm clause to hadoop-env.sh.  Something like:
[[ -s "/Users/ScotterC/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "/Users/ScotterC/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

And make sure to restart the cluster so it picks it up.  Oddly enough, without restarting, my logs would show that it was loading rvm but it clearly wasn't executing that ruby and it's respective gemfiles.  After restarting it worked.

Study Demonstrates Benefits of Testing 30-65 Year-Old Women for Cervical Cancer with Both Pap and HPV Tests.
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen tracked 57,000 patients over 20 years, taking blood samples from them.

Samples taken by the currently approved method of ultrasound (US) guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) for detection of supraclavicular and cervical lymphadenopathy in patients with lung cancer could also be used for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation analysis, thereby decreasing or eliminating the need to take additional invasive samples.
The post hoc analysis was done on data from 45 of the 49 patients identified with baseline brain metastases that had evaluable data at cut-off. The patients were among participants in a larger phase 1/2 single-arm, multicentre study of brigatinib in patients with advanced malignancies.
The investigators found no significant association between response rates and either the SNPs analysed or levels of VEGF and VEGFR2 in patient blood samples. However, patients having lower VEGF levels in their baseline blood samples experienced improved survival outcomes.
AZD9291 is a once daily, selective, irreversible EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) designed to target both the activating sensitising mutation, EGFRm, and T790M, the genetic mutation responsible for EGFR TKI treatment resistance in up to approximately two-thirds of cases of EGFRm advanced NSCLC.
Although the results confirmed a similar low rate of local recurrence following SABR for early-stage NSCLC, the authors found no statistical association between recurrence and several parameters, including age, gender, TNM-stage, fractionation scheme, PTV-size, histology, or a history of prior malignancy.
Dr Eberhardt expressed criticism that a restriction to common mutations and never smoker and women may be more suitable than to investigate such an approach in a curative setting unselectively. He questioned the best time and schedule of adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy in such setting that is currently unknown and said that chemotherapy is actually proven to be curative in this setting.
Enrollment was carried out in 90 centres and included 3382 patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) of both adenocarcinoma (ADC) and non-ADC histology.

Owensboro Sisters Organize Success in Nashville
by Jacqueline Jordan Russell
With a little inspiration from a Netflix series, two Owensboro-raised sisters have found professional success in Nashville by launching a professional organizing and home styling business.
In early 2019, Ea Fuqua and Meg DeLong were both working for the same company, but they knew their jobs were about to end. Instead of being defeated, they pursued their dream of owning a business together. Ea got inspired after watching "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo" on Netflix and called her sister. The pair took it step by step from there, figuring out how they could launch a business to help de-clutter, tidy and bring peace and order to others' homes.
"We're both moms and we're both OCD Virgos," Ea said. "I was working from home, taking care of my kids, and I realized that if I was organized it made my life so much easier."
Ready to help others in the same situation, the pair asked some of their good friends if they could tidy spaces in their homes and take photos of their work.
"We worked for free and shared it on social," Ea said. Just a couple of months later, they launched The Tidy Home Nashville and haven't looked back.
"I don't think people realize that if you walk into your house and it's cluttered, it can make you anxious," Ea said. "That's what we want to help people with. Our target demographic is stay-at-home or working moms. It doesn't fix everything, but it offers a little slice of peace."
And the service is in demand.
"COVID-19 hit less than a year after we started, and in theory, that's a really scary time to start a new business," Ea said. "But everyone was stuck in their homes, looking at all their stuff. When you're not at home, it's easier to ignore everything. And this really can be a kind of self-care."
Beyond helping others, her favorite part of the business is working with her sister, Meg. "I'm the details, she's the dreamer," Ea said. "We know each other so well that we don't have to spend time bringing the other up to speed. We know what we need to be doing in the business."
Even though the two Daviess County High School grads don't operate in Owensboro, they have tips to help others get started decluttering their own homes.
"Honestly, the biggest tip is just start small," Ea said. "People get really overwhelmed when they decide to organize their kitchen and pull everything out. The middle is so scary when you have to figure out where everything is going to go!"
Instead of getting stuck in the mess, she recommends starting with one drawer. "Start where you keep your spatulas and utensils, and if you're not using something, donate it," she said. "Put everything else back in an organized manner."
If that's a success, move to the next drawer.
For mementos and sentimental items that can create unnecessary clutter, they suggest finding a place to store them outside of your everyday space. "They shouldn't be in your closet and then you don't have space for your shoes," Ea said. She keeps a plastic bin for mementos stored (and labeled) in her attic.
For items that aren't sentimental, get rid of anything that's empty or expired, or toys that have been outgrown. "You don't want to buy bins to store things you don't really want or need," Ea explained.
Their goals when working on a project are not just to make it beautiful, but to make it functional. "It's all about being able to read someone's life and what they have time for," Ea said.

This album uses Traditional Mbira (African Thumb piano) original words & voice, natural sounds while recording in the jungles Hawaii and backed by the Whale Songs album with permission by Dan O'Conner. My intentions in 'Birth Prayers' creation is to honor through music the journey and rite of passage that is birth. Initiated by a Shona traditional shaman for communicating with this music for birth. To use music to pray for gentle flowering open, love surrounding all, star guidance-ancestral guidance and connection, and healing empowering experiences for families.

Whale Songs from an Undersea Volcano
Na Kohola o Lōʻihi
The Whales of Lōʻihi
Lōʻihi is an active volcanic underwater seamount approximately 50 miles south and east of Kīlauea volcano on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. The seamount summit lies at a depth of about 1000 meters (3200 ft.) while the deepest part, at the base of the seamount, reaches depths of over 5000 meters (16,100 ft.). When measured from its seafloor base to the summit, Lōʻihi is 4000 meters tall. This is comparable to Mauna Loa's above sea level height. Lōʻihi is the youngest expression of the Hawaiian hot spot and one day will become the next island in the Hawaiian chain. Estimates on when Lōʻihi will grow enough to reach the ocean surface and emerge from the sea as an island range from 100 years to 100,000 years!
Humpback Whales: Na Kohola in the Hawaiian language; scientific name, Megaptera novaeangliae, Humpbacks migrate thousands of miles from their summer feeding grounds in Alaska and arrive in Hawaiʻi in November to spend the winter. Here they mate and give birth to their young. The whale songs heard here are somewhat mysterious. No one is certain exactly how the sound is produced, as Humpback whales have no vocal cords. Scientists believe that only male Humpbacks sing. On rare occasions when Humpbacks have been observed singing in the wild, they are typically 50 to 75 feet deep, head down, eyes closed and almost motionless. Their songs can last for hours. Additionally the purpose or meaning of the whale songs is unclear. Perhaps these songs serve some purpose in mating, or is this some form of Humpback jazz or chant? (For a more detailed account of Humpback whale song see: Kaufman, Gregory D. and Paul H. Forestell. Hawaiʻi Humpback Whales, a Complete Whalewatchers' Guide. Island Heritage Publishing, 1986.)
How were these sounds recorded?
The Hawaiʻi Undersea Geo-Observatory, HUGO, is an automated submarine volcano observatory on the undersea Lōʻihi seamount and connects to shore via a fiber-optic cable. Scientists at the University of Hawaii's School of Ocean and Earth Science & Technology (SOEST) monitor activity on Lōʻihi by collecting digital data from experiments plugged-in to the HUGO junction box on the seamount. At its initial deployment in October of 1997, these experiments included a seismometer (to measure earthquakes), a hydrophone (an underwater microphone which collected the sounds heard on this CD), and a pressure sensor (to detect tsunamis in the area). Eventually HUGO will monitor earthquakes and eruptions, geology, geophysics, biology, hydrothermal venting and other activities on the underwater seamount.
HUGO came on-line in February of 1997 and gathered data in 1997 and 1998. The HUGO cable to shore then experienced a power failure. The junction box was recovered via submersible in November of 2002 and appears to be in good repair. As of this writing HUGO is NOT operational. The HUGO project was funded by a generous grant from the National Science Foundation. For further information and updates on HUGO status see the webpage: www.soest.hawaii.edu/HUGO
Thoughts on producing this CD by Dan O'Connor
I was fortunate to have had a brief association with the HUGO project back in 1997. When the first acoustic data came in from HUGO there was much excitement among the close-knit group of scientists, engineers and technicians involved in the project. Many of us had a chance to listen to the whale and volcano sounds on a short cassette tape. I have also been fortunate to be acquainted with a number of artists and musicians over the years and almost all of them who listened to the tape felt its spell and unique beauty. Most of us either lack any experience of what the sound environment might be like in the deep ocean and so never consider it, or just have it as a vast blank in our minds for lack of input. Nearly five years passed and little was done with these beautiful sounds. I however just couldn't let go of the idea of making these recordings available to a greater number of people. The magnificent primal power that is evident in this CD surprises, inspires and fascinates people about life in general, and about Hawaiʻi in particular. Over and over again in my life Hawaiʻi has had the ability to juxtapose all sorts of phenomena in ways which are beyond imagination (at least my feeble one). Most of these experiences are ephemeral…gone in an instant, with the setting of the sun, the waft of a breeze, the crashing of a wave. For once this type of experience was preserved in a way that could be made available to a larger audience if only a bit more effort were expended. This experience, this gift of Hawaiʻi I wanted to be made available to all, especially the children, na kamaliʻi.

The Five Books of Moses are divided into weekly portions and each Shabbat one portion is read, meaning that the Five Books of Moses get completed every year in the Synagogue. In the portion named Ki Tisa, the sin of the golden calf is relayed, followed by the breaking of the two tablets of stone, Moses' prayer in which he requests to see G-d's glory and G-d's response that Moses will see His back but not His face. What does this mean? What is the back of G-d and why was Moses privileged to see it? Rashi, a commentator on the Bible, explains that Moses saw the knot of G-d's Tefillin.
Shem MiShmuel, another commentator, explores this intriguing passage and notes that Tefillin refers to thinking- meaning G-d's Tefillin is an allegory for His thoughts. According to Jewish Law, when a male wears Tefillin his thought must be completely pure, entirely focused on the message of the Tefillin. Moses was incredibly close to G-d and he therefore had a connection to Tefillin-a connection to G-d in thought.
The Tefillin that we have contain parchment that speak of love of G-d, His oneness, His Torah and the Exodus from Egypt. They illustrate G-d's greatness and how it affects us directly. G-d's Tefillin are a mirror image of our own- they focus on the uniqueness and holiness of the Jewish people and of G-d's love and loyalty to us. The knot of the Tefillin that G-d showed Moses was the unbreakable bond between Himself and His people.
The knot of the Tefillin represents the Jewish people's eternal relationship with G-d. No matter what situation they find themselves in G-d is with them- G-d is described as dwelling amongst the Jewish people, despite their impurity. In the same way a parent does not abandon his child, G-d does not abandon his people, no matter how far they have strayed from Him. Real love is the perfect balance between the traits of kindness and law. Sometimes G-d rebukes His people, punishing them in a way that a father must punish His son. Despite that, He is still their loving Father. This is the indestructible knot of G-d's Tefillin. The Jewish people accepted the Bible with the words "We will do and we will hear," we showed absolute commitment to G-d and in return we know that He will always be loyal to us.
Moses was the first one to understand this connection- when he descended with the tablets and the sight of the Jewish people sinning met his eyes he broke the tablets because he reasoned that if they were to die as a punishment he wanted to die with them. Due to this incredible loyalty and self-sacrifice for the Jewish people, G-d revealed to him the secret of the knot of the Tefillin.

Пятнистоухий трахифонус () — птица из семейства африканских бородаток, родом из Восточной Африки. Видовое латинское название дано в честь французского инженера, исследователя Африки и охотника Жозефа Понса Д'Арно (Joseph Pons d'Arnaud, 1811—1884).

Встречается как в одиночку, так и небольшими разрозненными группами. Питается насекомыми, сочными плодами, семенами. Гнездится в собственно вырытых норах.

Описание
Плотного сложения птица, чуть мельче обыкновенного скворца: длина варьирует от 16 до 19 см. Описаны четыре расы, изменчивость между которыми проявляется в размерах и варьировании общей окраски, оттенков и рисунков оперения. Масса подвидов T. d. darnaudii и T. d. boehmi 17—39 г, подвидов T. d. usambiro и T. d. emini 32—51 г. Жёлтые или оранжево-жёлтые перья головы имеют тёмные основания и вершины, из-за чего вся поверхность головы выглядит пёстрой. У подвида T. d. boehmi перья на темени и затылке чёрные без отметин, образуют однотонную «шапочку», у T. d. usambiro и T. d. emini перья скорее жёлтые, без оранжевого оттенка. Возбуждённая птица приподнимает перья темени в виде хохолка. Спина, крылья и хвост тёмно-бурые, почти чёрные, с многочисленными пятнами белого цвета. На горле и верхней части груди чёрная «манишка». Брюхо грязно-белое или желтоватое, подхвостье скорее красное. Клюв скорее короткий, рогового цвета, более тёмный у подвидов T. d. boehmi и T. d. usambiro. Половые различия не выражены. Окраска молодых более бледная, с меньшим количеством тёмных пятен на голове. Летает медленно и неуклюже, что делает птицу уязвимой для хищников на открытой местности. Голосиста в течение всего года, часто перекликается дуэтом вместе с партнёром.

Распространение
Распространён на востоке африканского континента: в юго-восточном Судане, Эритрее, Эфиопии, Сомали, северо-восточной Уганде, Кении и Танзании. Населяет травянистые и кустарниковые саванны, редколесья, поляны среди зарослей колючих кустарников, пастбища. Нередко встречается на открытых лужайках в сельских населённых пунктах, в том числе заброшенных. Как правило, не поднимается выше 1900 м над уровнем моря, но на юге ареала встречается на высоте до 2100 м над уровнем моря. Побережья достигает лишь на территории Сомали. Отдаёт предпочтение засушливым ландшафтам с участками оголённой почвы, нередко в стороне от водоёмов.

Питание
Кормится в основном на поверхности земли, реже в нижнем ярусе кустарника. Выбор кормов довольно широкий, включает в себя пищу растительного и животного происхождения. Из насекомых отдаёт предпочтение муравьям, термитам и кузнечикам на всех стадиях развития. Также употребляет в пищу ягоды и семена различных растений. В случае опасности прячется в норах или близлежащих кустах.

Размножение
Гнездится группами из 3—5 особей, состоящими из основной пары и «помощников», которыми, возможно, являются потомки с предыдущего помёта. Для пары характерно пение дуэтом, при этом попытки петь других членов группы агрессивно пресекаются. Как и другие представители рода, пятнистоухий трахифонус устраивает гнездо в самостоятельно вырытой норе. Нора, общая длина которого варьирует от 45 до 90 см, по форме напоминает рукоятку зонта: вначале идёт вертикальный тоннель, после которого следует ответвление наверх с камерой на конце; такая конфигурация позволяет избежать затопления в случае не очень сильного дождя. Нередко вход в тоннель прикрыт пучком травы, но может быть и полностью открытым, кусты и другая древесная растительность в целях маскировки не используются. Гнездовая камера обильно выстилается травой. В кладке 2—4 белых матовых яйца. Сроки высиживания и оперения, равно как и роль помощников, не изучены.

Synopsis: Between focusing and dissipation lies a space in which attendance oscillates between illumination and darkening. Focusing and dissipation, illumination and darkening determine expressionist film and film noir: the director Fritz Lang operates between these trends. In Monocle Blink, sequences from motion pictures with or by Fritz Lang are cut out of pictures and assembled auditively. The resulting verbal narration revolves around the question of the extent to which the medium of film is able to provide clarity on the basis of illusion. The audio montage is complemented by images that reveal Lang's ambivalence toward commercial cinema and seismographic analysis of society. The images flash across the screen like lightning, briefly illuminating the spectators and leaving behind an afterimage before disappearing into darkness.


Communications satellite system architecture trades traditionally consider only the cost per unit of capacity provided. This selection method ignores the other requirements with which the system architectures were designed and which are critical to providing a capability to the warfighter. A survey of communications satellite systems identified five common attributes that are incorporated in the design process: communications capacity; access; interoperability; commandability; and information assurance and protection. A mathematical model was implemented to enable the analysis of communications satellite system architectures based on multiple system attributes. Utilization of the model in a hypothetical case indicates system selection can differ from the traditional solution when additional key performance attributes are considered.

'I think so', 'Things need to change' – Does Monk have to bring back influential midfielder for Boro?
Middlesbrough's disappointing season continued on Saturday with a 2-1 defeat away to Millwall that leaves Garry Monk's men in 10th position.
The pre-season promotion favourites are five points away from the play-offs and the pressure is seriously building on the former Leeds boss.
Monk has failed to find the right formula with the players and has regularly made changes to his side. One man currently out of the picture is midfielder Adam Clayton, who was so influential when Boro won promotion from the Championship under Aitor Karanka two years ago.
The 28-year old has featured in just one game since October and hasn't even made the bench for the past two games.
So, given Boro's struggles, is it time to bring Clayton back?
Clayton was a regular for the club in the Premier League last year, so it seems absurd he can hardly get on the pitch in the second tier.
Clayton is a player who performs with his heart on his sleeve, and that is what struggling Boro need right now. Monk has been reluctant to take gambles this season and it is severely costing him, but must place his faith in the midfielder to add bite and desire to the middle of the park this weekend.
He has left the midfielder out and it hasn't worked so it's time to swallow some pride.
Clayton would give Boro more fight in midfield and that would help halt this slide they are on.
Monk needs to change something at the Riverside Stadium, and personally, I'm surprised to see Clayton not playing more football for Middlesbrough this season.
The midfielder has a wealth of Championship experience, and was part of the Middlesbrough squad that achieved promotion two years ago.
Things need to change quickly, with time running out for Monk, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see Clayton reintroduced this weekend.
'Bringing him in might be a last resort' – Christiansen to use 26-year-old Leeds ace as impact sub v Hull?
'It would be a real surprise' – Should Carvalhal give talented youngster a chance in the first team?

"What are you doing with your goddamn life?" Sam's sister Tricia asks her in the first episode of the new HBO dramedy Somebody Somewhere. In the moment, Sam (Bridget Everett) acts offended by the question, but it's one she privately asks herself all the time. She is in her forties, has never had any real direction, and only returned to her Kansas hometown to care for her other sister Holly as she died from cancer, then stayed for lack of a better plan. She befriends former high-school classmate, Joel (Jeff Hiller), and confesses she never amounted to much "because I didn't think I was any good." When Joel asks what she's referring to, she replies, "Everything."
Somebody Somewhere was created by Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen and produced by Jay and Mark Duplass. The Duplass brothers' previous HBO series, the terrific but short-lived Togetherness, also dealt with middle-aged disappointment, and shares a knock-around, lo-fi charm with its successor. (And, for that matter, with many of the best episodes of High Maintenance, where Bos and Thureen previously wrote.) Very little happens over the course of the seven-episode season, but this is the point.

We see Sam struggle to find common ground with Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison), and wage half-baked stakeouts of Tricia's potentially adulterous husband Rick (Danny McCarthy). She hits it off with Joel, but perhaps at the expense of his relationship with his partner Michael (Jon Hudson Odom), and she resents the academic standardized test company where they both work. Even Sam and Tricia's attempt to get their father Ed (Mike Hagerty) to recognize that their alcoholic mother Mary Jo (Jane Brody) needs to go to rehab again is presented in muted fashion — the siblings know this likely won't accomplish anything, but they want to try something. It makes the show an amusing stylistic counterpoint to the overcaffeinated, beautiful, teen-focused Euphoria, which is one of this series' Sunday night lead-ins. But the smallness of the stories helps capture the aimlessness Sam feels — noting that she and Joel are already in their forties, she suggests of their dreams, "It's not going to happen, and it's definitely not going to happen here" — while making the little victories and minor defeats ring out much more loudly than if Sam's life were a nonstop thrill ride.
Everett, left, with Jeff Hiller
Everett's a comedian who appeared regularly on Inside Amy Schumer, where she got to close each season by belting out raunchy cabaret songs with titles like "Put Your Dick Away." The singing continues here — the first episode climaxes with Sam and Joel's touching duet of Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush's "Don't Give Up" at an underground cabaret he hosts for the local queer community — but Jeff Hiller and his unnervingly varied range of smiles do most of the comic heavy lifting(*) in what's otherwise a dryly amusing series. (Comedian Murray Hill also scores some laughs in a recurring role as Fred Rococo, who by night is the cabaret's emcee, and by day teaches at the local agricultural college.) Everett, by contrast, plays things seriously — and well. She's an intensely watchable presence while we see Sam trudge through this broken, seemingly inconsequential existence she has no clue how to fix.
(*) Hiller is also wonderful in the dramatic parts of the show, finding nuance and deep reserves of sadness and hope in a character who could so easily be a caricature. This isn't his show, but at times it feels like it could be.
Somebody Somewhere is a modest TV series, and one likely to find a modest audience. But that audience will come away feeling like they very much understand these characters, and this place, because the details and performances are so well drawn. Sam may be down on herself, but the show about her turns out to be good at a lot of things.
Somebody Somewhere premieres Jan. 16 on HBO, with episodes releasing weekly. I've seen all seven episodes.

Creating Emerging Markets Project, with Geoffrey Jones
Geoffrey Jones
At a recent event in Kolkata I had the pleasure of sitting down with Professor Geoffrey Jones, Isidor Straus Professor of Business History at Harvard Business School, where we discussed his ongoing efforts to bring a greater focus in Business History to the study of emerging markets. As part of his trip to Kolkata he spent time interviewing leaders in both business and social enterprises. This is part of an extraordinary initiative at the Harvard Business School, to create a resource for researchers and educators to improve understanding of the evolution of business leadership in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. He discussed the aims of the Creating Emerging Markets Project and how it can be used by business historians.
What are the aims of the project?
The Creating Emerging Markets project is based around extensive interviews by Harvard Business School faculty with impactful business leaders active in twenty one countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America over the last four decades. It is now Harvard Business School's largest research project. Beginning in 2008 with a pilot in Argentina and Chile, it has been conceived as a public goods project with the interviews and many supporting materials held on a website and fully accessible to researchers, educators and others. The rationale behind the project is that in many emerging markets archival materials on business over the last four decades are hard to find and even harder to access. The aim is to generate a large amount of accessible primary material which will enable research and teaching on emerging markets to flourish. Ideally it will also serve to encourage businesses in emerging markets to take more interest in preserving their own historical materials, and encourage scholars and others in the regions to undertake their own oral history and other historical projects.
In the big picture, it is hoped that the project can play a part in challenging the existing focus on the developed world in the business history literature. In 2018 the world's twenty largest economies in terms of nominal GDP included eight emerging markets, including China, India, Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, and Turkey. If business history is to remain relevant, it needs to transition from being heavily focussed on North America, Europe and Japan to fully incorporate the historical experiences of Africa, Asia and Latin America. There regions had different contexts – including long eras of foreign domination, extensive state intervention, acute institutional inefficiencies, and extended turbulence – which encouraged different responses from businesses. This demands a different set of research questions than those asked for Western countries.
What kind of sources have been created?
At the core of the project are over 120 oral history interviews, and this increases by twenty or more each year. The database is the largest collection of in-depth, academic interviews with business leaders in emerging markets that currently exists. Interviewees are all either current or former leaders of their respective businesses, and interviews were conducted by Harvard faculty members. The project relies on country and regional specialists to identify the most impactful leaders in each geography. While many have headed large diversified business groups, it increasingly includes leaders of NGOs, social enterprises, and impactful figures in creative arts. Currently only 20 per cent of the interviewees are female, a ratio which reflects the low number of female business leaders in Latin America in particular, but the project is now focussed on achieving a 50/50 gender balance going forward.
The project targets individuals with between three and four decades of experience, meaning that most individuals are at least 60 years of age at the time of their interviews (and frequently older). This selection criteria was chosen because the project wanted to ensure that interviewees would be able to reflect on changes and developments that took place over the long-term. It was assumed that older individuals would also have some distance from present-day company operations, encouraging more open discussion. There is no standard set of questions, as the interviews are designed as frank and in-depth conversations over two to three hours, but most cover a number of common issues, including family dynamics and succession, business-government relations, and the social and ethical responsibility of business to society. The written transcripts of interviews, both in original languages and English translation, are downloadable on the completion of a short online form. The full videos of interviews are currently behind a firewall, but hundreds of short clips are fully accessible and downloadable, organized around themes including corruption, innovation, and women leaders.
How are the resources being used?
There are two primary uses of the materials created by the project. The first is research. The interviews contain rich and nuanced insights on the development of business in emerging markets which can be used, uniquely, as a basis for comparative research between regions. The site currently receives on average 2,000 unique site visits a month from around the world, and some 2,000 transcripts have been downloaded. In April 2018 alone there were 150 transcript downloads. In order to demonstrate that leading scholarly journals in both business and economic history and management studies accept the interview database as a legitimate primary source, Harvard Business School faculty have published using the materials. In 2016 I co-authored an article in Enterprise & Society on the growth of the eco-tourism industry in Costa Rica which is largely based on project interviews. I have also co-authored article forthcoming later in 2018 in the Australian Economic History Review on political risk and business which compares South Asia and Latin America. Turning to management studies, my colleague Tarun Khanna and I (and two co-authors) employed the interviews for an article entitled "Overcoming Institutional Voids: A Reputation-based view of Long-Run Survival," which was published in Strategic Management Journal in 2017. We argue that firm reputation is a key strategic driver in emerging markets, and propose new ideas about the ways through which reputation facilitates long-run survival. The common criticisms and limitations of oral history, and issues such as selection bias are well-understood. In the above articles coding and other methodologies are used: there is no simplistic and uncritical use of the interview materials.
The second major use of the project materials is educational. Since making the video clips searchable and downloadable, the short video clips have been employed in classrooms in India, Latin America and the United States. They offer vivid insights into how businesses are built, challenges such as corruption encountered, how family succession was handled, and much more. Many of the educational materials used in the classrooms of emerging markets are based on American and European experience, so are largely irrelevant to the real world of business in these regions. The material generated by the project is a useful corrective, which among other things enables students in one region to encounter the experience of leaders from other regions. The project is now moving forward by creating Harvard Business School cases composed entirely of video materials from this project, accompanied with formal teaching notes how to use such material in the classroom. Academic pedagogy needs to embrace the digital age, and hopefully Creating Emerging Markets can be part of this story.

Qarin I (Persian: کارن), was the eighth ruler of the Bavand dynasty from 839 to 867.

Biography
His brother, Shapur, was murdered in 825 by a Qarinvand named Mazyar, who then conquered his domains. With the aid of Abbasids and Tahirids, however, Qarin managed to reclaim his domains from Mazyar. During the same period, Mazyar was betrayed by his brother Quhyar, and was sentenced to death in Baghdad. In 842, Qarin converted to Islam, where he was rewarded with the title of Abu'l-Muluk.

In the 860s, western Iran was governed by the Tahirid Muhammad ibn Abdallah ibn Tahir, whose brother Sulayman ibn Abdallah ibn Tahir deputized him in Tabaristan and Gurgan. Popular resentment of the Tahirids' rule increased through the oppression of their officials, especially their fiscal agents in the province. Consequently, in 864 a rebellion broke out in the towns of Ruyan, Kalar and Chalus, led by two "sons of Rostam". The rebels called upon Hasan ibn Zayd, an Alid, to lead them, and allied themselves with the neighbouring Dailamites. Hasan, who assumed the regnal name al-Da'ī ila'l-ḥaqq ("He who summons to the Truth"), was recognized as emir by a part of the local population, and even secured the allegiance of the Justanid king of Daylam, Vahsudan ibn Marzuban. Qarin, however, opposed Zaydid rule in Tabaristan, and allied himself with Sulayman ibn Abdallah ibn Tahir against Hasan, but was defeated by Hasan in a battle, who had Qarin's domains devastated and his brother Ja'far ibn Shahriyar killed. Qarin then had to swear loyalty to the Zaydids and send his two sons Surkhab ibn Qarin and Maziar ibn Qarin as hostages to the Zaydid court, but quickly mutinied against Hasan, and in 868, was forced to flee to Kumis. Qarin I died in 867, and was succeeded by his son or grandson Rustam I.

U.S. Holocaust Museum Director Sara Bloomfield talks power of narrative in memory
by Maggie Prosser	on August 13, 2018 1.79K views
Sara J. Bloomfield, director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, opens Week Eight's theme "The Forgotten: History and Memory in the 21st Century" with a lecture Monday, August 13, 2018 in the Amphitheater. RILEY ROBINSON/ STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
Sara J. Bloomfield spoke to collective and individual memory in relation to history at the 10:45 a.m. morning lecture Monday, Aug. 13, in the Amphitheater, opening Week Eight's theme, "The Forgotten: History and Memory in the 21st Century."
"Memory is important, necessary, complicated," Bloomfield said. "It's a very powerful force that speaks to our deepest notions, and its power is insufficiently understood. The world is complex, messy, mysterious, evolving and often cruel. We all use narratives to create meaning and help us navigate this world. Narratives give order to disorder. … Memory is a form of narrative, a way we package the past in order to ease the present and make it more useful for the future."
As director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., Bloomfield is a curator of such memory; her institution raises awareness, deepens understanding of the Holocaust's lessons, and advances genocide prevention efforts. She joined the museum in 1986, holding a number of positions prior to director.
Bloomfield paraphrased Holocaust survivor Cecilie Klein-Pollack, who documented her story for the museum. Klein-Pollack said ordinary, mundane memories associated with normal, mundane objects became impossible following the genocide of over 6 million European Jews:
"If anybody comes to the museum and will see the mementos we left behind, whether it's a little shoe, whether it's a letter, whether it's a torn prayer book, remember these are our precious valuables. Remember that from these books, children studied; from these prayer books, our families chanted their prayers and remember them when we are gone. And remember the agony of the survivors, who had to live with these memories and could never touch them — could never have them back."
Bloomfield said memory is practiced in a variety of ways: monuments, museums and religion. It is exercised through religion by recounting Biblical or spiritual events like the celebration of Passover, when the Jewish people were liberated from slavery in Egypt, or Easter, when Christians recognize the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Museums serve as vehicles for memory; each institution honors its history in unique ways, she said. The Smithsonian Institution's 1994 exhibition on the Enola Gay, the B-29 bomber airplane known for dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, was met with backlash. Critics said the exhibit was sympathetic to the Japanese and did not distinctly explain the justification for the bombing, nor did it honor fallen American soldiers.
Critics expected a display that reflected their memories of WWII, Bloomfield said; curators wanted to honor those memories while accurately portraying history.
Bloomfield, who was consulted on the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, said she opposed the memorial's construction because it was too recent. The Sept. 11 memorial opened 10 years after the tragedy; the museum followed three years later. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, comparatively, opened five decades after WWII.
"If the Holocaust Museum had opened in 1958 rather than 1993," Bloomfield said, "I suspect it would have been a very different institution, shaped by the freshness of the survivors' memories from the old country, the need of the survivors to rebuild their shattered lives in a new country and America's focus on the Cold War."
A difficult issue for the Sept. 11 memorial was the inclusion of the perpetrators, she said, which the museum has limited to one section. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum is also selective in its commentary, but the museum asks a greater question — "What made the Holocaust possible in an advanced, educated nation with a democratic constitution, a rule of law and freedom of speech?"
The National Museum of African American History and Culture offers a unique perspective on the role of memorials in history; the museum abstained from using the term "memorial" in its description, instead opting for a "contemplative court" experience so visitors can reflect on its documentation of African-Americans' lives throughout centuries, including exhibitions on slavery and the civil rights movement.
Bloomfield reflected on the role of monuments in the Civil War, quoting author and historian Drew Gilpin Faust:
"A war about union, citizenship, freedom and human dignity required that the government attend to the needs of those who had died in its service. … National cemeteries, pensions and records that preserved names and identities involved a dramatically new understanding of the relationship of the citizen and the state. … By the end of the (19th) century, the dead had become the vehicle for a unifying national project of memorialization. Civil War death … belonged to the whole nation. The dead became the focus of an imagined national community for the reunited states."
By the end of the Civil War, Bloomfield said, Confederate General Robert E. Lee denounced the erection of war memorials and monuments, so as "not to keep open the sores of the war," but many in the South never fully embraced his call.
President Ulysses Grant later acknowledged the South's unwillingness to forget the war, Bloomfield said, amid growing nationalism in Europe and mass immigration, which revitalized racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism in the United States; between 1905 and 1915, more Confederate statues were commissioned than any other point in history.
European nationalism eventually led to World War I, Bloomfield said.
"German leaders hid the truth of the war from their citizens, which meant that a population who — in 1914, full of national pride and unity, expected a glorious victory — in 1918 was suddenly presented with a very different reality: defeat, division, humiliation," Bloomfield said. "The trauma of the war and (the Treaty of Versailles) would feed a new narrative that appealed not only to nationalists, but also to the middle classes."
Following WWI, Adolf Hitler built on deeply rooted xenophobia with intense Nazi propaganda.
"All nations use memory and history to articulate and reaffirm their values, identity and compass," Bloomfield said. " … Totalitarian ideology depends on total control of national memory in support of their singular idea that explains and ultimately fixes all human problems. For the Nazis, it was race; for the communists, it was class; and for Islamic fundamentalists, it's religion."
The Soviet Union controlled memories of WWII, Bloomfield said, by denying collaborating with Nazis in the division of Poland; investing in monuments and museums to promote Soviet victory; and denying the murder of thousands of Poles. Instead, the Soviet Union presented the war as a "titanic struggle between fascism and communism," she said.
Lithuania dedicated a museum to the Holocaust and the fall of communism — two events the country perceived as equal. Ninety percent of Lithuania's Jewish population was killed in the Holocaust at the complicity of many Lithuanians. Bloomfield played the testimony of a 20th-century Lithuanian mass executioner.
In the video, the man described leading Lithuanian Jews to mass graves and shooting them one bullet at a time. He described parents' attempts to protect their children, only to be executed themselves; the ex-militant said it was humane to kill the parents so they wouldn't experience the trauma of their child dying in their arms. When asked if he told his children and family about his crimes after the war, the man said "no," that it was "shameful and scary" to tell them.
Bloomfield shared a letter from a 19-year-old Jewish man who buried a letter among treasures in the Warsaw Ghetto amidst impending deportation. It read:
"What we were unable to cry and shriek out to the world, we buried in the ground. … I would love to see the moment in which the great treasure will be dug up and scream the truth at the world, so the world may know all. … We may be the fathers, the teachers, the educators of the future, … but no, we shall certainly not live to see it, and therefore I write my last will: May the treasure fall into good hands, may it last into better times, may it alarm and alert the world to what happened. We may now die in peace. We fulfilled our mission. May history attest for us."
Even threatened by death, the people of Warsaw left remnants of themselves and their cultures for the future; they saw themselves as part of history's continuity, Bloomfield said. To close, she left the audience with a question:
"What are we as individuals and communities doing to ensure that continuity so that future generations can responsibly handle the obligations and challenges, as well as the complexity and power of history and memory?"
After the conclusion of Bloomfield's lecture, Chautauqua Institution President Michael E. Hill opened the Q-and-A by asking how the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum will continue to tell its story without living survivors of the Holocaust.
Bloomfield said the museum is aggressively collecting testimonies from survivors as well as Nazi sympathizers and officers, but "you can't replace survivors."
Hill then turned to Twitter: the question asked how to use museums to teach accountability.
"I believe accountability is just one part of it, but remembering history and education have to be a part of accountability," Bloomfield said.
