So I've had a Cintiq 13HD for about 5 years, I've always connected to my Mac via HDMI to DisplayPort adapter, and it's worked fine the whole time.
The tablet itself still works like an Intuos, but it won't work as a second monitor.
I plugged it back into my old Mac with the old setup that has always worked...to find it just says 'no input signal' again.
I assumed it could be a faulty tablet or 3-in-1 cable, but when I plug it into a games console (without an adapter) the cintiq acts as a monitor just fine.
I then thought that maybe my adapters were faulty, but both work perfectly when plugging a different monitor into both computers.
So it seems like it is specifically the interaction between this tablet and a Mac (I have tried 3 different machines) that's problematic.
I'm on macOS High Sierra, all updates installed. I have tried updating to the latest wacom driver, uninstalling all wacom drivers and doing a clean install, installing an older driver, unplugging all cables and re-securing....but NOTHING works!
If anyone could help me I'd massively appreciate it, this has been going on for a week now and support don't seem able to help!
The Wacom driver handles only the pen input and is not involved in the display. You should see a picture without any Wacom driver. - 'No Signal' means that the unit is not seeing any video signal from the computer - This can be a problem of the cable, the adapter or the input connector and electronics on the Cintiq. (On Windows machine it can be that the second display is set to be inactive.) - So check the Macs display preferences: Does it see an external monitor ? And if so use proper resolution ? Same resolution setting as on the games console ? (If one of the connector pins or wires is faulty, only lower resolution might get through).
When plugged into a Mac (I have tried 3 different machines) it doesn't recognise it as an available display at all. Even when clicking the 'detect displays' button in display settings.
Plugged into a PC without any adapter it isn't recognised either. The second display was set to mirror (also tried extended) and set to the correct resolution for the cintiq.
The 3-in-1 cable was brand new, as I was advised to buy a new one, and both adapters (usb-c to hdmi and DisplayPort to hdmi) work perfectly when used to connect other monitors to my machines.
I have the exact same problem with my 22HD Touch- it worked for years then quit suddenly. I didn't change or adjust anything.
It still works as an Intuos Tablet, but no display.
I've tried it with 2 different computers, 3 different adapters, 3 different video inputs (HDMI, Mini-DVI, USB-C) and three different OSes (El Capitan, Windows 10, High Sierra).
Apparently Wacom wants almost $1000 to repair this. I've been using Wacom products for almost 2 decades now, I think it might be time for me to move on to something else more stable for my daily work.
It can be expensive if the LCD panel needs to be replaced - as its bonded with the digitizer and electronics, you can only exchange the complete unit. The service center will check, if that is necessary or if the problem is somewhere else (connector, cable, etc).
My issue is almost word-for-word the same as Geeblet's, except that I'm using a MiniDisplay (2011 Cinema Display).
The part that is eerie is that everything worked just fine for about a week after I got my new 2017 Macbook Pro (previously, it was a 2010 Macbook Pro). Then, I noticed that the Cintiq's resolution looked bad. It was definitely not as clear as it should have been. The next day....no input signal.
It didn't work on my old Macbook Pro anymore, either. And I even took it to school to try on both an Alienware and a Lenovo, and I got the same thing.
It works as an Intuos, but I think there's an issue with the Cintiq HD13 and newer Macs.
As the screen very clearly shows "no input signal detected", I can see that the screen works. It's not black. It just isn't getting any information from either Macs or PCs.
Geeblet, you said it DOES work with a video game console?
I have exactly the same issue here!
I've been using my Cintiq Companion Hybrid as 2nd monitor on PC for about 4 years without any problem.
I bought a Macbook Pro last week and started using Cintiq hybrid on Macbook pro via a USB-C to HDMI adapter.
Cintiq has been working OK for about a week then gone "no signal" after then. Then I tested my Cintiq with other Macs and PCs, the display wouldn't work anymore. I also checked to connect with different 3-in-1 Wacom cable and got the same result as "no signal".
The weird thing is that when I reboot my Macbook pro to Win10. The Cintiq can display with the minimum resolution which is 640X480 but no any other resolution option. The pen and touch functions work as usual in any scenario.
I doubt that there might be something wrong on new Macbook pro to maybe cause some damages on Cintiq since we all got similar experiences.
I am still suffering from the malfunction display with Cintiq.
Has anyone solved the "no signal" problem?
If you did solve it one way or another, please, please, please! generously share your way of solving this issue with us.
Really want to get my Cintiq working.
I found a way to get my Cintiq back to work on the resolution of 1080P on Win10.
There an app named Radeon Setting app on Win10. I used the app the "Overclock" Cintiq to 1080P and it works.
Becuase of this, I assume the issue might be caused by the graphic card. It's obvious that Radeon doesn't recognize Cintiq and it's capability.
I already contacted AMD for tech support. Hopefully, they will update the driver for Radeon to cooperate with Cintiq again both on Win10 and MacOS.
I wanted to give an update.
On my 2017 Macbook Pro, running Mojave, my Cintiq 13HD still is nothing more than an expensive Intuos, but it works when I boot into Windows 10.
The resolution was very poor, and the image was stretched. I couldn't even read the time and date, though I may give the Radeon driver a try, or otherwise fiddle with it. Then again, I haven't installed any programs, and doing so would be a hassle, so it'd be rather pointless. Not to mention, since it works on Windows 10 (on the same Macbook), it's not like Bootcamp gave me an nVidia card, so I don't know why that would have anything to do with it. I may still give it a shot, just to see the results, and if I do, I'll post about it.
I took my MBP and Cintiq to a local Wacom reseller (Hollywood Mac) and he tried a different adapter (mine is a Startech branded one, which is what Wacom told me to use over the phone), a new 3-in-1 cable, and one of his store's Macs. Nothing worked.
I downloaded an old Wacom driver from 2017. Worked even worse than now! Got the new one from December 2018, and again, it works like an Intuos.
The Wacom Desktop Center sees the Cintiq, but when I go to Display Settings, it says there's no compatible display device connected.
It seems like it's not an AMD issue. It doesn't appear to be a Wacom driver issue. It's not a hardware issue. It seems like it's an Apple + Wacom problem, and since I'm not going to use Windows, I may have to look into other tablet options, which would be unfortunate.

Support for the UNESCO mediation process
An international organisation supporting the return to Greece of the British Museum's collection of Parthenon Sculptures has urged Britain to agree to have the dispute mediated by UNESCO.
The Chairman of the International Association for the Reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures, David Hill, has written to British Prime Minister David Cameron urging Britain to accept the recent offer of UNESCO to mediate the issue.
The International Association for the Reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures has volunteer organisations in sixteen countries that support the claim for the return of the Parthenon Sculptures to Greece: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Britain, Canada, Cyprus, Finland, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA. (see www.parthenoninternational.org)
In 2010 UNESCO introduced new mediation procedures to handle claims for the return of illicitly acquired cultural property and Greece this year asked UNESCO to initiate the mediation process for the Parthenon sculptures. The Director General of UNESCO Irini Bokova has since written to the British Government seeking their agreement to participate in the proposed mediation.
The Parthenon Sculptures are the wonderful marble sculptures that decorated the Parthenon Temple of fifth century BC Athens. In the early 1800s, about 100 marble sculptured pieces and major fragments were stripped from the Parthenon on the Athenian Acropolis and taken to England by the then British Ambassador, Lord Elgin. Greece has consistently asked for the sculptures to be returned and the new Acropolis Museum in Athens has been especially built to accommodate them, alongside the other, matching sculptures that remained in Athens. Britain has rejected Greece's claim for the collection to be returned and has refused to participate in any meaningful discussions of negotiations.

Q: pagination not displayed in woocommerce plugin in wordpress Navigation arrow keys for pagination are not displayed in products page. I have used woocommerce plugin in wordpress 3.4.2 version.

A: They will not be visible till you have enough products to have 2 or more pages.

A: Can't remember why this happens. I think its because wordpress posts per page is set to 'n' in your settings so woocommerce follows that setup (only showing 'n' number of products)
Anyway to fix it open your functions.php file and insert:
 add_filter('loop_shop_per_page', create_function('$cols', 'return 4;'));

Q: Syntax and RNDC bind errors on conf What I'm trying to do:
Trying to create a bind DNS service that will resolve local addresses as well as public addresses. I need to be able to resolve internal local addresses for remote locations. These remotes hit our network through a proxy, and I'm trying to install the bind server on that proxy server.
I'm using bind9 which (according to what I've read) will let me use views to direct DNS requests through an acl.
What's happening:
I have the following config which is reporting a number of syntax errors and a rndc connect failed error that stops the DNS.
file: named.conf.local
acl internals {
    x.x.x.x/8; (local)
    192.168.1.0/24;
);

// Custom Zones for SERVER
view "internal" {
    match-clients { internals; };
    zone "SERVER" {
        type master;
            file "/etc/bind/internal/db.SERVER";
    };
};

view "external" {
    match-clients { any: };
    zone "SERVER" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/external/db.SERVER";
    };
};

errors: from syslog

Oct 28 10:29:22 SERVER named[15228]: loading configuration: unexpected token
Oct 28 10:29:22 SERVER named[15228]: exiting (due to fatal error)

What I need to know:
Obviously I have something wrong, and I just need to know where I messed up. I need to know if there is something wrong syntactically or if I am not using the right tools to create a bind server.
TL;DR:
Given the config file and errors above what is causing the problem?

A: It looks as if the closing parenthesis sign ')' is a syntax error on line #4, it should be a closing brace '}'.
When someone finds it difficult to realize the exact reason of some inexplicable syntax error messages like these, it is a good practice to start cutting off parts of the input file (config file in this case). That way you can find the point where the first errors get introduced, and usually it is easier to spot the problem that way.

Q: Spotfire idle screen deactivation in regard to spotfire inactivity screen,
can i disable that feature somehow? I need to set a screen always displaying a dashboard but with no interaction and i cannot do that because of the server logging out after some inactivity time.
Will a simple mouse jiggler do the trick?

A: besides changing the global inactivity timeout (probably not an ideal solution, but I will happily edit to include instructions), you (or your Spotfire admin) can put the analysis on a Scheduled Update. I am going to assume that your Spotfire instance is already configured to allow Scheduled Updates as per the admin manual.
I've done this before and I'm 95% sure this will sidestep the inactivity timeout, but it's been a while, so please try this and reply if it doesn't work for some reason.
to create a scheduled update for an analysis...

*

*log in to the Spotfire server as an administrator or a user with permissions to create Scheduled Updates

*click Schedules and Routing

*click the Create Rule button

*leave the selector on FILE and click Next

*give a name for the schedule and browse to the file in the library

*leaving other settings at their defaults, click Create new schedule

*tick the days you'd like this analysis to remain loaded, set the time range it should be loaded on those days. set the Check for updates every ... to your update range (I suggest something like five minutes but it's up to you), then click Save

*you're done! click Save again

now while you have the analysis open, it will reload itself every five minutes with the current data.
I would avoid setting it to something like ~1 minute as this could, depending on the amount of data being loaded; how many users you have; the complexity of the analysis; etc., consume too many server resources. keep in mind Spotfire is not for "real time" analysis but for "data at rest." we (Tibco) do offer products for real time data visualization like LiveView and Streambase, but they are separate from Spotfire (from a licensing perspective. I believe they can be integrated in fun ways).

US Patriot Act Information Request
The U.S.A. PATRIOT Act was enacted on October 26, 2001, in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The Patriot Act is designed to broaden the surveillance capabilities of law enforcement agencies in an effort to achieve early detection of potential terrorist plots. Pursuant to the provisions of The Patriot Act and acting under the authority of a valid court order, law enforcement agencies may request various forms of information, records, documents or data from institutions of higher education. Such data includes, but is limited to, records of borrowed print materials, records of internet access, email communication records and telephone usage records. The Patriot Act authorizes law enforcement agencies to install devices to monitor computer access and telephone usage, at the enforcement agency's expense, in libraries and/or information systems departments if necessary to implement the purposes of the Act.
The provisions of The Patriot Act supercede Tennessee law regarding the confidentiality of library records. Under Tennessee law, a public patron's library records are not public records. Such records are classified as confidential, and library personnel may only disclose the content of those records in certain circumstances permitted by law. Tennessee law permits disclosure of a public patron's library records if: (1) the patron consents; (2) the library must disclose the information to obtain reimbursement for the return of lost or stolen materials; and/or (3) the records requested are pursuant to a court order. In addition to the aforementioned circumstances delineated by state law, The Patriot Act specifies that confidential library records of a patron must be disclosed if a legitimate request for such records from a law enforcement agency is provided as required by the Act.
Institutional Policy
A. Record Maintenance and Retention
Records of personal computer identification accounts that require individuals to log onto the campus system may be subject to review by a law enforcement agency under The Patriot Act. NSCC will maintain accurate computer usage logs, and retain the records in accordance with state mandated record retention guidelines for the college. Records shall not be destroyed prior to the date authorized by the retention guidelines, or as a method to avoid compliance with an official request for records.
NSCC issues each student and employee an individual computer identification account (log in name and password) for access to the institution's computer network. The maintenance of accurate computer usage logs occurs electronically through the individual user's log in/log out process. In the event that law enforcement officials request information regarding general computer access or a specific individual, NSCC shall comply with the request by searching its electronic database of authorized users' log in access to the network.
NSCC informs network users, in its computer use policy, of their responsibility to consistently utilize the log in/log out procedures when accessing the institution's computer network. Users are also informed that they are responsible for any computer files, databases, and/or internet sites that are accessed through their computer identification account, notwithstanding their failure to adhere to the log in/log out process, or their voluntary publication of their account information to others.
B. Voluntary Reporting of Suspicious Activity
The Patriot Act authorizes voluntary disclosure of the contents of electronic communication to law enforcement officials if the provider reasonably and objectively believes that the institution's computer system has been compromised such that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury may occur without disclosure to a law enforcement agency. Personnel suspecting a breach of the institution's computer network should discuss the concern with the department's director/dean, providing appropriate documentation or evidence if available. The director/dean shall investigate the situation. The director/dean shall then consult with the appropriate vice president prior to disclosure to law enforcement.
C. Users Notice
NSCC will post notices to users in its computer laboratories informing them that The Patriot Act authorizes law enforcement agencies, acting pursuant to a valid court order, to compel personnel to disclose confidential information about their electronic communication via email; their computer access of the internet and other network databases; and/or records of their telephone usage.
D. Employee Training
Training of all staff (including student employees and volunteers) is necessary for the implementation of this policy. Departments shall provide all employees a written copy of the policy and adequate training regarding the policy to understand their roles in its implementation.
Response to Requests from Law Enforcement
In any situation in which a law enforcement agency requests previously documented information pursuant to a court order, search warrant, or subpoena; and/or any type of assistance in monitoring information in the future, administrators should contact the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Upon his/her arrival at the institution, the law enforcement officer shall be directed to the Vice President of Academic Affairs who is responsible for directly communicating with officials. In the absence of the Vice President of Academic Affairs, the Vice President of Community/Economic Development shall be responsible for acting on her behalf.
If a law enforcement officer presents a court order (i.e., warrant or subpoena), the Vice President of Academic Affairs shall do the following: (1) cooperate with the officer (after verifying that he/she is properly affiliated with a legitimate law enforcement agency and requesting the information for action within the scope of his/her employment with that agency; (2) implement the appropriate steps of the institution's policy.
The Vice President of Academic Affairs will maintain accurate, comprehensive, and confidential written documentation of each request for information from law enforcement personnel.
The Patriot Act amended certain provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Specifically, the amendments grant educational institutions the authority to disclose, without consent or knowledge of the student or parent, personally identifiable information from the student's education records to the Attorney General of the United States or his designee in response to a court order (ex parte order from the Attorney General, grand jury subpoena, or law enforcement subpoena) in connection with the investigation or prosecution of terrorism crimes. Under The Patriot Act, an institution of higher education will not be held liable to any person for the production of educational records to law enforcement personnel in accordance with an order issued under The Patriot Act if the institution acts in good faith. Moreover, the amendment to FERPA does not require the institution to record the disclosure of information from a student's education record when making a disclosure to a law enforcement agency under The Patriot Act.

New Zealand will go to the polls on September 23, Prime Minister Bill English announced this afternoon. Speaking at a press conference in the Beehive, English said the date was chosen because it was almost exactly three years since the 2014 election.

Prime Minister Bill English announces the election date.

New Zealand's economy will be at the heart of the 2017 general election, Prime Minister Bill English said after revealing the country will go to the polls on September 23.
English has also left the door open to working with New Zealand First after the election, while saying it was unlikely prospect because of the party's "inward-looking" views.
Announcing the date at a press conference in the Beehive this afternoon, English said the economy "will always be the central issue" in an election.
If the election could be summed up in a word, it would be "growth", he said.

New Zealand was doing well compared to comparable countries, and the challenge would be to sustain that growth and make sure all New Zealanders benefitted from it.
He downplayed the prospect of immigration taking centre-stage in the election campaign, despite new data showing another record net gain in migrants in the past year. Forecasted slowdowns in migrants would mean immigration would not be a major issue, he said.
Labour leader Andrew Little, on the other hand, said the election would be fought on housing affordability, access to healthcare and quality education, safer communities and a stronger economy.
"Only by changing the Government can we do that," he said.
"We're well prepared, our teams are in place, our plans are well advanced and we'll be working hard to convince New Zealanders we can help give them a fair shot at the Kiwi Dream."

English said National would be "taking nothing for granted" because MMP elections were always close.
His party would continue to work with Act, United Future and the Maori Party in any post-election deals.
New Zealand First was "unlikely partner" because of its protectionist views, English said, but he was open to negotiations "depending on the makeup of Parliament".
He ruled out working with Labour or the Greens, saying they were "increasingly far-left and inward looking".
During his press conference, he repeatedly attacked the two parties, accusing them of campaigning on a "vibe" and of having no policy or belief in New Zealanders.
Green Party co-leader James Shaw said his party was more prepared than any previous election.
His party's platform would be ending child poverty, affordable housing, clean rivers and lakes, and a fairer economy.
The Greens "offered a credible, compassionate, progressive alternative" to National, Shaw said.
The election date was chosen because it was almost exactly three years after the 2014 election, on September 20.
It also allowed the Prime Minister to attend two global forums - the East-Asia summit and Asia-Pacific Economic Coordination (APEC).
Another unmentioned factor is that it falls between All Black tests on September 16 and September 30.
English will expand on the Government's agenda in a State of the Nation speech in Auckland today.
The speech will include new policy, and will also cover English's personal background and what drives his political beliefs.

Health warning amid '30% chance' Sunday could be hottest day ever recorded in UK
Forecasters say there is a 30 per cent chance that Sunday will be the hottest day ever recorded in the UK.
On Monday, the Met Office issued an amber weather warning for extreme heat across parts of the UK ahead of further soaring temperatures this week.
The rare warning states there could be a danger to life or potential serious illness as a result of the scorching temperatures.

Other issues could include road closures and delays or cancellations to rail and air travel.
The Met Office said the warning is in place from 12.01am on Sunday to 11.59pm, when temperatures are predicted to soar into the 30s.
It is being enforced across the East Midlands, east of England, London, South East, North East, North West, South West, Wales, West Midlands and Yorkshire and Humber.
The warmest day on record in the UK was the 38.7C scorcher recorded at Cambridge Botanic Garden in July 2019.
On Monday, Wales recorded its hottest day of the year so far as the mercury reached 28.7C in Cardiff's Bute Park.

In England, the temperature peaked at 32C in Northolt, west London.
England's hottest day so far this year remains the 32.7C recorded at Santon Downham, in Suffolk, on June 17.
Network Rail has warned speed restrictions are likely to be in place this week on some parts of the network most affected by the hot weather.
Fire services have urged people to have picnics instead of barbecues during the warm weather after a spate of grass fires.
The AA Driving School and RAC meanwhile said motorists should carry water with them, start their journeys earlier in the day, plan their routes and check their vehicles before setting off.

Hampshire County Council also said it was preparing to deploy gritters to protect cars against melting roads.
The Met Office says the mercury is predicted to rise to 30C in London, Chelmsford, in Essex, and Sudbury, in Suffolk, on Tuesday while the rest of England is expected to see temperatures soar to the late 20s.
The whole of England is largely expected to experience sunny days with some cloud over the next week to match the temperatures of mid to high 20s.
It will cool off a little on Friday, with the north-west and north-east of England predicted to have some rain with temperatures reaching highs of 19C.
Temperatures are expected to spike to 32C in Reading and London on Sunday and in excess of 35C in the southeast.

Scotland and Northern Ireland meanwhile are predicted to have a cloudier week, with rain forecast for Tuesday and Friday.
Weather forecasting models suggest it is possible – though not likely – temperatures could reach 40C in the UK next weekend.
A Level Three Heat Health Alert has also been issued by the Met Office and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) from 9am on Monday to 9am on Friday in the east and south-east of England, with the rest of the nation having a level 2 alert in place.
The four-level system highlights the potential health impacts of these high temperatures.
On Monday, Met Office forecaster Simon Partridge told the PA news agency: "Parts of south-east England could exceed 35C on Sunday.
"At the moment, we are looking at a 30% chance of seeing the hottest temperature recorded in the UK."


NHS management teams understand the importance and the value of social media, they just needed to be shown how to utilise it correctly. They needed a series of digital marketing workshops to show them how to make the best use of the web and social media without it sapping too much of their time away.
We presented to the senior management teams at the NHS, creating bespoke presentations to suit their needs. In this case, it was all about developing a time-efficient social media strategy.
The presentations went down a storm, so much so that we're regularly invited back to deliver again and again. The management teams feel much better equipped when it comes to social media and are now equipped to get results in the most efficient way possible.

SALT LAKE CITY — For Mikhail Kotlov and Branden Jenkins, it was heroin.
For Cedric Willis, it was cocaine.
All three men were arrested within the first two weeks of Operation Rio Grande, the multiagency effort to clean up the troubled neighborhood surrounding the downtown homeless shelter. The men were among hundreds swept off the street and prosecuted on drug charges.
"I definitely hit rock bottom," Kotlov said of the day he was arrested, adding that he was even more upset to find out he wouldn't be released from jail immediately like he had been in the past. Instead, he went through withdrawal behind bars.
While none of the men were happy about being placed into handcuffs and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail, they say their lives are starkly different now from when they were living on the streets about six months ago.
Kotlov, Jenkins and Willis wore fresh haircuts, suits and ties Thursday as they visited the state Capitol with Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams to thank the Utah Legislature and other Operation Rio Grande supporters for helping them on a path toward sobriety.
"Nobody likes to get arrested," Willis said. But when he was given the opportunity to enter Operation Rio Grande's specialty drug court, receive treatment at Odyssey House and now have a chance to join the county's new sober living program, Willis said that arrest gave him "a new lease on life."
Jenkins said he, too, would still be on the streets had he not been picked up during the sweep and given the opportunity for drug treatment.
"The officers who arrested me that day were like, 'You're going to thank me for this later," Jenkins said. "I didn't believe it, but I do now."
Kotlov said he's now rekindled his relationship with his three kids, ages 7, 10 and 11, thanks to the operation's specialty court and his treatment at First Step House. He said he's now five months and 23 days sober.
The ties the men wore Thursday were donated by members of the Utah Legislature months ago near the beginning of Operation Rio Grande.
In the House, House Majority Whip Francis Gibson, R-Mapleton, asked the men and McAdams to stand so lawmakers could recognize them as "three success stories" from Operation Rio Grande, the $67 million, two-year effort to maintain control of the Rio Grande neighborhood until the 2019 closure of the Road Home's downtown shelter.
"We commend you," Gibson said. "Know that all of us are proud of you."
The House then gave Kotlov, Willis and Jenkins a standing ovation.
McAdams, however, said lawmakers also deserve praise, noting that the Legislature has made important decisions and millions in appropriations to make the county's efforts to reform the homeless system and expand treatment possible.
"Over the last several years, they've made decisions that weren't easy," McAdams said. "It's admirable that they not only enacted policies and made the appropriations necessary to make all this possible, but they've also given personally — and we wanted to put a face to that."
In a special session last fall, the Legislature set aside about $5 million for Operation Rio Grande's law enforcement effort. The rest of the budget is expected to be discussed in this year's appropriation process.

A farewell from managing director Lorie Russell


The program write ups as they appear in the meeting bulletins.
Sarah Schroth, today's speaker, has headed the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke since 2013. She has presided over perhaps the most lively period of the Nasher's brief existence, since it was founded in 2005 as a successor to the smaller East Campus Art Museum. She specializes in 18th century Spanish art and early in her career discovered unknown works from the period of El Greco and Velasquez. Today she spoke on two topics: a new grand sculpture park for Duke and the current exhibition of a much neglected Italian Baroque artist, Carlo Dolci (1616-1686).
The sculpture park arose from a discussion about how to integrate the Nasher and the Rubinstein Center for the Arts, now nearing completion, across the street. Sarah feels that the Nasher itself need not be extended "It is an optimal size for a university like Duke" she said. The release to Duke (after the decease of its very elderly occupant) of a house adjacent to the Nasher was an added stimulus to the new project.
The Arts Center is just the most recent example of David Rubinstein's 'Giving Pledge' philanthropy, adding to the Rubinstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library and a substantial contribution to the Sanford School of Public Policy. After much discussion involving Sarah, Executive V-P and Duke Master Builder Tallman Trask, the plan is to take the Olmsted-designed Campus Drive and 144 acres of unused adjacent areas and create a sculpture park.
The Rotary Foundation was in the spotlight at today's meeting. Nancy Marks honored two brothers and their wives with Paul Harris Fellow Awards. Thanks to a generous contribution by David and Carmen Durack and other District Rotarians a $1.5 million Rotary Peace Fellows Fund has been founded. Peace Scholars at the Duke-UNC Center benefitting from this endowment will be named District 7710 Peace Scholars.
Giving a personal insight into the influence of the Rotary Peace Scholars program, Cristel Greiner Butchart, a Rotary Peace Scholar sponsored by our club, spoke about her experiences as a scholar and how that experience weaves its way into her current professional work.
Prior to beginning the application process a few years ago, she had already formulated a personal philosophy that emphasized conflict resolution in personal as well as international relations. As a school teacher she had worked on curriculum development to promote safer schools. She also worked in Myanmar on children's rights and preventing child trafficking. Even with all that experience behind her, she conceded that the grilling she got from the club's Peace Fellow interview committee—B.C. Dash, Vandana Dake, Newman Aguiar and Arthur Rogers—was really rigorous!
When I saw the program was to be delivered by a holocaust survivor I wondered how one of those skeletal figures pictured when the death camps were liberated in 1945 could have survived 70 plus years now and still be giving presentations to students and civic clubs.
So, I was a little surprised when I met Ms. Fink who was clearly younger than that by at least a decade or two. Minutes into her presentation, however, it was apparent why she and possibly a generation or two after her are also genuine holocaust survivors.
My daughter Steph and granddaughter Maddy came to live with me three years ago now. Maddy is now five and has started kindergarten. I cannot imagine the agony we would feel if it ever got so dangerous here that our best option for her safety was to hand her over to an underground railway to deliver her to an unknown family in another country.
For those that were at the meeting, you know that Ms. Fink's story was told in four videos that were entitled On the Back of a Stranger's Bicycle: Renee Fink's Story. Our time constraints being what they are, she stopped at three videos, but there is a fourth and I urge you to watch it too on-line. If you are reading this on the Club's website, I'm going to embed the first video on the site so that those who couldn't attend the meeting can see all four of them in sequence. If you just want to watch the fourth you will see links to all four of them by clicking through and watching them on YouTube. Or you can go to the website http://holocaustspeakersbureau.org where you will find a biography of Ms. Fink and a link to the videos.
To the 100 or so die-hard Rotarians who chose to attend Monday's meeting rather than gaze upon the eclipse, Capitol Sports Vice President George Habel expressed his thanks for the support our club has given. First, for "Take a Kid to a Ballgame," which – spearheaded by a generous donation from fellow Rotarian Michael Goodmon and Capitol Broadcasting, and complemented by club donations – allowed us to treat 66 youth to a Durham Bulls home game, complete with hotdogs and Bulls baseball caps.
Second, George conveyed his gratitude to the club for choosing to move our weekly meetings to the DBAP. "It was a first-time job-related task when I had to hire a chef for the Bulls," George said. "And now, with Rotary's commitment to Monday luncheons, I've had to hire a sous chef!" While the Convention Center (and the Marriott before that) have certainly worked hard to be accommodating, our move to the ballpark emphasizes our growing, progressive club's efforts to represent and support the Durham community even more strongly. Reminder – our Monday, September 11 meeting will be held at the DBAP!
David Graham looked more the part of guest student until he took the podium as our featured speaker Monday representing one of the nation's most venerable and respected magazine titles, The Atlantic.
Given this reality, serious readers, in Graham's view, could do themselves and society muchgood by training themselves to separate the wheat and the chaff.
Among reminders he suggested in a broad, quick look at the state of today's journalism are to keep any eye on the reporters and writers, their track records on the subject matter at hand, and the number of sources driving a given story, plus how the sources are identified. Keep an eye on the reporter's attitude about the subject matter at hand – is the writer generally hostile or friendly?
These maxims are both true and a fine standard of conduct and values that should be a refresher course for many participants in a once-proud profession trying to regain its footing. Our thanks to David Graham for his entertaining presentation.
Graham was introduced by Judge Nancy Gordon.
A full house of Durham Rotarians sat down to listen to Ward Nye (no relation as far as I know to the science guy).
President Seth Jernigan introduced him in a speech "that could have been written by my Mother!", said Mr. Nye, leading all to infer that Mr. Nye was well-loved indeed. Ward Nye is Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Martin Marietta Materials, a large company. He also serves on numerous other company boards and lives in Raleigh.
Yes, "materials". Some older Rotarians may remember M-M as an aerospace company, a part of Lockheed Martin. They built many major engineering projects like nuclear power plants, the Walt Disney monorail and modified Titan II rockets. Martin Marietta Materials specializes in heavy construction materials – such as aggregates, concrete and asphalt.
Mr. Nye gave a polished talk describing the aims of the company and its 400 current operations throughout the country. He emphasized the values of the company and its emphasis on safety – not a trivial matter in this kind of business. They aim to go beyond the legal requirements of OSHA. Working for M-M is apparently statistically safer than working for Wal-Mart.
MMM is very concerned that their projects have a "social license", the concurrence and support of the local community. Some twenty percent of its business is in fact in housing. Mr. Nye was optimistic about Durham and how we are doing.
There was time for a couple of questions. One was "Are we running out of sand?" Mr. Nye seemed a little surprised by the question. His response was basically that there is sand and there is sand implying that there were shortages of certain types of sand but that we shouldn't worry about the beaches.

.text(function(d) {
        return d.data.label;

    })
    .style("font-size", 12)
    .attr("y", 10)

Bunches of boosters —
SpaceX details its plans for landing three Falcon Heavy boosters at once
Environmental assessment says SpaceX could launch 6 Falcon Heavy rockets a year.
Eric Berger - Jan 11, 2017 8:49 pm UTC
Enlarge / A recent satellite view of SpaceX's Landing Zone 1 shows the single, large landing pad.
As part of the process to gain federal approval for the simultaneous landing of its Falcon Heavy rocket boosters in Florida, SpaceX has prepared an environmental assessment of the construction of two additional landing pads alongside its existing site. The report considers noise and other effects from landing up to three first stages at the same time. After undergoing a preliminary review by the US Air Force, the document has been released for public comment.
First reported by NASASpaceFlight.com, the document offers some interesting details about the proposed launch and landing of SpaceX's heavy lift rocket, which the company hopes to fly for the first time in the spring or early summer of 2017. After previously demonstrating the ability to land a single Falcon 9 booster, SpaceX also hopes to land the three first-stage boosters that will power the Falcon Heavy for potential re-use.
SpaceX just teased a photo of its highly anticipated Falcon Heavy rocket
The company states this reusability as its rationale for the new construction—reducing the cost of access to space. "This purpose continues to support SpaceX's overall missions for NASA and the USAF," the document states. "The action continues to fulfill the U.S. expectation that space transportation costs are reduced in order to make continued exploration, development, and use of space more affordable."
As part of the document, SpaceX also says it would like to build a Dragon capsule processing facility on the landing zone to support refurbishment of the Dragon 2 spacecraft, designed to carry crew into orbit. The 130-foot-long facility would provide a "temporary" facility for vehicle propellant load and propulsion system servicing.

GEAR Inc./SpaceX
When it originally designed its Landing Zone 1 facility at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, for the single Falcon 9 first stage booster, the company envisioned the need for one main pad approximately 200 feet across, and four smaller contingency pads, each approximately 150 feet in diameter. The chosen site had enough acreage to accommodate all five pads.
Improvements in the rocket's landing navigation guidance system obviated the need for the contingency pads with the Falcon 9, however. So now the company wants to use the additional space to construct two concrete landing pads, each with an approximate diameter of 282 feet surrounded by an approximate 50-foot-wide hard-packed soil "apron." This would give SpaceX three landing pads and the ability to bring back all three Falcon Heavy boosters to land while also retaining the option to land one or two on drone ships in the Atlantic Ocean.
SpaceX is free to fly—will attempt a launch Saturday from California [Updated]
In addition to the potential for a dozen Falcon 9 launches and landings each year, the document says SpaceX may eventually make six Falcon Heavy launches a year, potentially returning an additional 18 boosters to the Florida-based site. The new pads and crane sites would be configured to allow parallel processing of landed boosters. With US Air Force Approval, construction could begin as early as this spring.
If approval for the expansion of the landing zone is not granted after public comments, SpaceX indicated that it would still launch the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets from Florida, but only a single booster would return to Landing Zone 1. "The remaining Falcon Heavy boosters would either fall into the Atlantic Ocean downrange or land on the droneship," the document says. "SpaceX's ability to fully meet the National Space Transportation Policy goals of providing low-cost reliable access to and from space would be negatively affected. Therefore, this alternative is not preferred."

Imran Awan's Expanding Axis of Intrigue
Iran-backed Hezbollah laundered money through Awan family used-car lot.
December 22, 2017 by Lloyd Billingsley Leave a Comment
IT man Imran Awan has a problem with women but Democrats have failed to place the Pakistani-born Muslim on their honor roll of abusers with Al Franken and John Conyers. When Awan attempted to flee the country in July, the feds busted him on bank fraud charges. Andrew McCarthy warned it was more likely a serious national security case, and it turns out he was right.
As the intrepid Luke Rosiak notes in the Daily Caller, Imran's brother Abid ran a used-car lot in Falls Church, Virginia, called Cars International A. Trouble was, the "CIA" dealership had no inventory and the sales people were fakes. As Rosiak learned, the Awan dealership "took money from a Hezbollah-linked fugitive" whose financial books were "indecipherable." And as the DEA was aware, "the Iranian-linked terrorist group frequently deployed used car dealerships in the US to launder money and fund terrorism." On the other hand, the DEA had trouble going after the terrorists.
As Josh Meyer reported in Politico, "In its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States."
The operation was called Project Cassandra and "as it reached higher into the hierarchy of the conspiracy, Obama administration officials threw an increasingly insurmountable series of roadblocks in its way." And when project leaders sought approval for prosecutions, arrests and financial sanctions, "officials at the Justice and Treasury departments delayed, hindered or rejected their requests."
A key player in the obstruction was John Brennan, the presidential advisor who touted "moderate elements" in Hezbollah and became POTUS 44's CIA director despite having voted for the Stalinist Gus Hall, Communist Party USA presidential candidate, in 1976. Another official of more than passing interest is Bruce Ohr, the associate deputy attorney general who directed the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF), reportedly the keystone of the AG's drug strategy.
Ohr has been making news for meeting with British spy Christopher Steele, author of the "dossier" on Donald Trump. That was during the 2016 campaign and after the election Ohr met with Glenn Simpson, founder of Fusion GPS, which hired Steele and brought aboard Ohr's Russophile wife Nellie. Even before the fall of the USSR, Nellie enjoyed considerable access, from Moscow to Smolensk, and also showed expertise in cyber-security matters.
Congress may investigate what role Bruce Ohr may have played in quashing the operation against Hezbollah drug dealing. With the connection to the fake Virginia car lot, Hezbollah becomes part of Imran Awan's ever-expanding axis of intrigue.
A number of prominent Democrats, including Debbie Wasserman Schultz, hired Imran Awan and members of his family to perform IT work, but there's no public proof that any of the Awans were vetted by Capitol Police. Awan and his family of grifters could not possibly have qualified for a security clearance but Imran Awan enjoyed access to the computers of 45 members of Congress, including members the House Intelligence and Foreign Affairs committees. Awan made thousands of unauthorized accesses to government networks and for several months every year conducted his work from Pakistan.
Awan also accessed a server controlled by Rep. Xavier Becerra, once on Hillary Clinton's short list as a running mate and now attorney general of California. When the Capitol police sought to obtain the data, Awan served up a fake image of the server. Awan was then banned from the congressional computer system but Debbie Wasserman Schultz duly kept the IT man on her payroll for more than six months. Awan was working for DWS while she headed the DNC, and when she lost the post after DNC emails were leaked or hacked.
Awan doubtless has the goods on Wasserman Schultz, which may be why she remains uncritical of the IT man. She blames his troubles on Islamophobia, what Awan's attorney Chris Gown, a former Clinton aide, calls "working while Muslim." After it emerged that "multiple women" had called police to report abuse by Imran Awan, including the threat of kidnapping, only two of 17 Democrat women who employed him opted to speak out.
Kyrsten Sinema reported firing Awan for incompetence. Frederica Wilson's office told the Daily Caller she does not condone violence against anyone but declined comment on "an ongoing investigation."
At this writing, Awan has only been indicted for bank fraud, though by the day it becomes more apparent that the case involves national security. Observers might wonder why Congress and Jeff Sessions' DOJ have been slow to take action, especially with so much at stake.
With all the IT men in all the IT firms in all the world, there was no reason to hire Imran Awan or any member of his family. Like terrorists Sayfullo Saipov and Akayed Ullah, Imran Awan came to the United States through a lottery system, so there's no good reason he should have been in the country in the first place. As investigators might discover, lottery immigration and chain migration have serious consequences.

The Dutchman should take his chance to join FC Barcelona. The best place for him right now.
The reports of Dutch center back Matthijs de Ligt leaving Ajax have been emerging ever since he put on the string of brilliant performances, winning the Golden Boy award in the process. The 19-year-old has been linked with teams like PSG, Manchester United, and FC Barcelona in the near past.
The Dutchman is already a starter in the national side alongside Virgil Van Dijk in the defense. With the huge set of skills that de Ligt brings to the table, it will be good for his career if he moves to a big club, ASAP. Any top club would be willing to splash the cash on the youngster and also pay him well enough. What de Ligt should keep in mind is to play in a good league such as EPL or La Liga rather than playing in Ligue 1 for PSG.
Here are three reasons why de Ligt should sign for FC Barcelona and possibly reunite with Frenkie de Jong at the club.
The 19-year-old smothered Karim Benzema in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League. The same style of play is employed at Barcelona. Pocket him again, huh?
The 19-year-old defender won the Golden Boy award in 2018 playing for Ajax. The Dutchman has been a revelation at Ajax and his playing style under Erik Ten Hag and under Ronald Koeman at the Netherlands National Team has been almost the same. Both the coaches follow the philosophies of Johan Cruyff in their tactics and style.
Barcelona has got Cruyff's style instilled in the club although under Valverde there has been more defensive rather than an attacking style of game. Even under Valverde, one thing that has been constant is the high defensive lines and playing from the back.
de Ligt is used to these tactics. Erik Ten Hag's Ajax and Koeman's Netherlands both depend on defenders who can handle the ball well. Ajax's play also depends on high defensive lines to a certain extent although Barcelona pushes it up even higher. de Ligt would have no problems adjusting to the style of play and philosophies of Barcelona unlike at Liverpool or Manchester United.
This is one of the main reasons that the Dutchman should choose Barcelona over others.

Jon Watts' 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' — A Review
Marvel have done a good job with Tom Holland. I guess given the age of most of the actors they work with (and the fact that many have been in the stable for approaching ten years) their characters tend to feel like uncles, even when they're not sharing scenes with kids.

Captain Marvel Review — Another one
The moment that Captain Marvel starts working is when Brie Larson's hero crashes in through the roof of a Blockbuster Video. If you thought that nerd culture's recent spate of eighties nostalgia was overbearing, just you wait. The nineties are back baby. Her first reaction to it is to blow the head off a True Lies standee. The disappearance of the video store was a great blow to the growing democratisation of culture; our local one was family owned, lived in a tiny place between the One-Stop and a chippy. They had as complete a collection of the studio Ghibli films as I think it was possible to have, the proprietor was the guy who introduced us to them.

Glass Review — First name Good, last name Movie
I'll admit, the first shot of Glass didn't fill me with much confidence. A masculine bodied person, wearing a dress, stalks into a room to intimidate a new batch of abducted young girls. It spoke to everything that I hated about Split: its stigmatisation of non-normative bodies, the casual nature of its depictions of abuse. Our first glimpse into the lives of our self-identifying heroes and villains disappointingly confirms that not much has changed.

Incredibles 2 Review: The definite article
I am in awe of Brad Bird. I mean he's made mistakes: Tomorrowland, his support of Colin Trevorrow – but anybody who can make a film like this is on some sort of next level shit. The film picks up where the pervious one left off. The Parr family, under their guise as The Incredibles, defeated the robot terrorising the city. Pro superhero sentiment is on the rise again, but their vocation is still illegal and when they choose to go after the Underminer the law forces them back underground.

The Hitman's Bodyguard Review – A comic drama
One of the best bits in The Hitman's Bodyguard comes when the script tries to pull off one of the worst plot reveals of all time. Like, someone admits to being the reason behind someone else's downfall and I'm not sure why I'm trying to keep it secret. It's the most obvious twist of all time. I'm talking around it here; but when a film be about a bodyguard who loses his business in the opening minutes when a client is assassinated; and an assassin. It ain't hard to put two and two together.

In 1991, Canada became the second country to adopt an inflation target as a central pillar of its monetary policy framework. The regime has proven much more successful than initially expected, both in achieving price stability and in stabilizing the real economy against a wide range of shocks.

A Structural Interpretation of the Recent Weakness in Business Investment
Staff Analytical Note 2017-7 Russell Barnett, Rhys R. Mendes
Since 2012, business investment growth has slowed considerably in advanced economies, averaging a little less than 2 per cent versus the 4 per cent growth rates experienced in the period leading up to crisis. Several recent studies have attributed a large part of the weakness in business investment to cyclical factors, including soft aggregate demand, and, to a lesser degree, heightened uncertainty and tighter financial conditions.

Conventional models imply that central banks aiming to raise inflation should lower nominal rates and thus stimulate aggregate demand.
