As incitement against the Israeli Left grows, it is no surprise so many people believed right-wing arsonists were behind the fire at the offices of Israel's oldest human rights organization.
Preliminary investigations by Israeli Police and Israel Fire and Rescue Services indicated that the fire that erupted Sunday night in the Jerusalem offices of Israeli human rights group B'Tselem was not the result of arson. The police and fire department published detailed explanations on their findings, according to which the fire was a result of a short circuit in the office's acoustic ceiling. The fire reportedly burned the entire ceiling before engulfing the rest of office.
Furthermore, there were no signs of a break in, neither from the door or the windows. Additionally, there was no graffiti or other sign that this was a hate crime, and the security cameras did not capture any suspicious activity. Thus, as far as we can tell, there was no arson. B'Tselem's staff believes this to be true as well.
And yet, Sunday's fire raised everyone's suspicions as the possibility of arson. I am not talking about a few human rights activists or members of Knesset. The Fire and Rescue Services were the first to presume it was an arson attack; nearly every single media outlet adopted the suspicion as truth, despite a lack of evidence. Much of the public also bought into the suspicions, which seemed so logical. With everything we know about the political climate in Israel today, it is not so far-fetched that such a thing would happen.
Perhaps one of the hardest things to deal with in the current atmosphere is the notion that it is logical that right wingers would set fire to B'Tselem's office — or worse. The fact is that all of us, not just a few of the paranoid, can imagine this happening. Not only because of the specific details — such as the initial suggestions that the fire began in two separate areas, or the recent, widely-viewed investigative report that allegedly implicated human rights activists in some shady business — but because of everything that has been taking place. If it didn't happen this time, it will happen next time. If not B'Tselem, then another organization. Not only does it seem so realistic, it feels that such actions would have significant public support, or at the very least would be met with understanding and forgiveness.
Palestinians on both sides of the Green Line know this well. They know the feeling of discrimination, oppression, and harassment by the authorities. As Noam Sheizaf wrote recently, in the past year and a half, the Right has officially taken over, delegitimizing and isolating the Left, be it radical or moderate.
Think about what kind of immense changes Israeli society has undergone in the past year and half, and how our attitude toward political violence (by the Right, only by the Right) has changed. This began with the immolation and murder of 16-year-old Muhammad Abu Khdeir, and continued with the rise of extreme-right groups such as Lehava, which along with other right-wing groups, hunt for Arabs on the streets of Jerusalem (leftists aren't spared either). After that came the violent attacks against left-wing activists during Operation Protective Edge, when right-wing thugs followed anti-war demonstrators and attacked them after protests. Then came the arson attack on Jerusalem's bilingual school, the murder in Duma, threats against left-wing activists, preventing members of Breaking the Silence from holding an event at a pub, and a recent stabbing attempt at a left-wing rally.
We also had an anti-Semitic video against leftists by the Samaria Settler Council, and recently we had a video produced by hyper-nationalist group Im Tirzu that incited against individual human rights activists. Add to that a slew of groups that have the blessing of the authorities to harass and threaten anyone who dares strive for Jewish-Arab cooperation, or criticize the occupation.
But most of all, we have seen government incitement reach new levels, often with the tacit support of the opposition. Prime Minister Netanyahu and his ministers have no problem to lying and slinging baseless accusations of murder at human rights organizations.
We have seen the Prime Minister's Office's campaign — joined by "centrist" Yair Lapid — against Breaking the Silence. We have seen attempts to destroy the Left's political representation, first by continually attacking any and all political organizing by Israel's Palestinian citizens — be it by outlawing the Islamic Movement, the attempts to disqualify the nationalist Balad slate from participating in elections, or raising the election threshold, thereby forcing the Arab parties to form a single political party. After all, without cooperation with Arab citizens, the Left has no real way of getting into power.
We saw legislation aimed at ensuring funding to left-wing NGOs is "transparent," though that funding has always been out in the open, while right-wing NGOs are granted permission to keep the source of large donations secret. This is before we get to the lies-turned-truths about the Mufti, a reminder that the prime minister will deliberately distort historical facts and lie, so long as it promotes his agenda of incitement.
Hundreds of Israelis celebrated the fire at the B'Tselem office online, while others expressed sorrow that the offices were empty when it erupted. Avigdor Liberman responded to the fire by calling B'Tselem "traitors." Neighbors who witnessed the fire expressed joy over what they believed was arson, and a few people even came to celebrate with an Israeli flag.
So this time it wasn't arson. Just a short circuit that came at an incredibly tense moment. But those who suspected an arson attack are not crazy. They understand exactly which direction the wind blows.
"On Monday, the U.S. embassy issued a highly irregular statement regarding the Shapiro-Shaked meeting….
A senior U.S, official remarked that one of the goals of the meeting was to respond to claims that Shaked has made in recent weeks that her bill is no different from the American's foreign agent law. Shapiro told Shaked there is absolutely no similarity between the two.
The U.S. embassy issued an additional statement in which it provided information about the differences between the American law and the justice minister's bill. It noted that the U.S. law does not put any limitations or additional demands of transparency on NGOs that receive donations from abroad "other than those generally applicable" to all American citizens.
I've heard the same logic applied to blaming Muslims for anything that might be a terror attack before the facts are known. Face it you and those you claim to oppose are two sides of the same coin.
When Abu Khdeir was brutally murdered the crime was harshly condemned without hesitation by those you label the "right" yet in the recent case of B'Tselem employee and Ezra Nawi being willing accomplices to torture on Palestinians by the PA all I hear is from B'Tselem and their supporters is excuses.

Comedy, the Simpsons and the globalization of entertainment
If you are a fan of animated comedy, chances are you have laughed at a joke written by Mike Reiss. Mike Reiss is the four-time Emmy award-winning producer, a 28 year veteran of 'The Simpsons' and has contributed to more than two dozen animated films — including four 'Ice Age' movies, two 'Despicable Mes', 'The Lorax', 'Rio', 'Kung Fu Panda 3', and 'The Simpsons Movie' – with a worldwide gross of $8 billion. He was the showrunner behind Season 4 of 'The Simpsons', which Entertainment Weekly called 'the greatest season of the greatest show in history.' Mike has also seventeen children's books, including the best-seller 'How Murray Saved Christmas' and the award-winning 'Late for School'. I caught up with Mike at his apartment in New York City to learn about the dark arts of writing comedy, the impact of the digital age on content, and why China and Latin America are such important export markets for entertainment.

1805: Not Bartlett Ambler, possible buggerer
Add comment May 8th, 2017 Headsman
From "Buggery and the British Navy", in History of Homosexuality in Europe and America
Unlike modern military law, which tends to distinguish in some way between homosexual acts between consenting adults and what is often the equivalent of rape of a shipmate, the navy during this period made no such distinctions. A boy who had been seduced or forced to commit buggery, therefore, was under great pressure to turn in his partner or attacker, for if they were caught and it appeared he had consented, the "victim" might well be as severely punished as the aggressor. Needless to say, there were serious problems in determining whether or not the boys called to testify were telling the truth, or simply using the buggery charge as a means of destroying a shipmate or officer they particularly disliked.
The courts were often acutely conscious of that possibility and there was even some objection to allowing young boys to testify in buggery trials. In 1772, the defense protested the testimony of John Ellis, a twelve year old boy who had accused one John Palmer of buggery. Despite the protest, however, it was decided that he could legally testify and Palmer was convicted of attempted buggery.
The problem of boys testifying against men in buggery cases are clearly revealed in the Bartlett Ambler case. Ambler was accused by four boys of sodomitic practices. Each testified that Ambler threatened to have them flogged if they told what had occurred. One of the boys, John Davy, said, "…and I had scarce buttoned up my breeches when he said be sure don't tell no person of it. I'll be very good to you, but if you tell any person of it I'll get you flogged." Ambler based his defense on the alleged wickedness of his accusers. Joseph Dorman, the ship's corporal, was called upon to discuss the character of three of the witnesses.
Q. Do you know if the boys who have been examined in support of the charge against me are notorious liars?
A. Two of them Hopkins and Willcott have been several times punished for lying.
Court. What is the character of the boy Davy?
A. He bears a very bad character by the whole ship's company.
Ambler also called upon Midshipman Robert Baker who told the court:
Davy is a very wicked boy indeed as ever lived everyone in the ship will say that if it was in his power he would hang his own father — I hear Hooper's mother say that her son had denied to her all that had been said against the prisoner.
The court had to weigh the testimony of the four boys who accused Ambler of buggery against the evidence of Ambler's witnesses, who denigrated the character of the boys and testified to his good reputation. The judges sentenced Ambler to be hanged, but as a sign of their unease, sent the following letter to the Admiralty Secretary, along with the minutes of the trial:
By desire of the members of a Court Martial assembled by me this day to try Mr. Bartlett Ambler, I have to request you will call their lordship's consideration to the hardship the Court have labored under in being obliged to condemn a man to death, upon the evidence of four boys, the eldest not more than thirteen years of age, and therefore recommend him to mercy.
The recommendation was endorsed by His Majesty on May 8, 1805, and Ambler was pardoned.
It is clear that boys could be intimidated into testifying against innocent men. In one disturbing case, a boy was caught under the blanket of Edward Martin. Evidently, the boy did not have a bed or blanket of his own, and Martin took him in as an act of kindness. The captain of the ship had the boy flogged and threatened him with another whipping if he refused to testify. Under the threat of further punishment, the boy confessed that Martin had buggered him. The trial record reads:
Prosecutor. Did you inform me that the Prisoner had committed that unnatural crime on you twice?
James. Yes, but I was afraid that the Captain would flog me.
In this case, the prisoner was acquitted, but the case does suggest the many possible abuses in buggery trials: that the testimony of boys was suspect, that fear of punishment or promise of reward might be used to intimidate them into giving false evidence against a shipmate, that the boy could be motivated by dislike or a desire for vengeance.
Trial transcripts of the testimony offered against Bartlett Ambler — and summoned by Ambler in his defense, who averred the "wicked" and "very bad" character of the childish witnesses — are available in Gay Warriors: A Documentary History from the Ancient World to the Present.

You guys. Let's get serious for a minute. This snack mix is the best snack mix on planet earth. I'm serious. If you need a seriously delicious snack that is… brace yourself… crunchy, but also chewy AND sweet, but also salty this is what you need. It's so good that when Nancy makes it at Brave Girl Camp, nobody can stop eating it until it's either gone or put away. Make it… share it with your friends… you'll love it, they'll love it.
Next, get a medium saucepan and stir together the sugar, butter and corn syrup. Told you it was good. Bring it to a boil over medium heat.
This is going to be hard, but WITHOUT STIRRING, let it boil for 5 minutes (we're still on medium heat, here).
Pour it over the cereal mixture, stirring to coat.
Pour that onto a baking sheet and bake it at 300 degrees F for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and add cranberries. Stir, then bake for 5 more minutes.

Readyportal's unique inheritance capability provides organizations with the ability to quickly deploy a network of sites. Once an organization has established a primary portal, they can quickly set up one or many sub‐portals that can share the look and feel of the parent site and content elements, or be personalized to suit the use of the microsite. These sub‐portals are valuable for organizations that serve as an umbrella for sub‐organizations – e.g., a trade organization with state chapters, a franchise organization with regional and local groups, a college alumni association with graduates organized by year – as well as for special interest groups, employee intranets, board members and committees, or a wealth of other organizational structures.
Whether you need to build sub-portals to support special interest groups, remote offices, franchises, board members, or any other special purpose, one of the key strengths Readyportal brings is the granular control of Inheritance. This feature of the Readyportal design means that sub-portal of your main chapter can automatically inherit look and feel and/or content from its parent, and in turn pass along attributes to its children. Using inheritance and/or design templates, it is possible to rapidly deploy sub‐portals that share as much – or as little – of the parent site as desired.
Control access to material based on sub-portal membership.

Good morning everyone. I am home at last after two weeks in Galveston, TX sailing aboard the barque Elissa. Frequent flyers on this blog know this is an annual trip for me. The barque Elissa is a very special ship, a "project" of the Galveston Historical Foundation and the Texas Seaport Museum. When I saw pictures of the devastation left by Hurricane Ike I had very strong doubts about how the volunteers who sustain Elissa could ever put the boat and the docks back together in time for her annual spring sea trials. Well, they did it! Once again determination and will win against all odds.
And that is the story of boats. Late this afternoon a new crew will come together for the first time aboard Mary Day and fit-out will begin in earnest. As I look at the work list ahead of us I am just a little over whelmed. There are always more things to do than there is time to do them. The weather this next week doesn't look as warm and sunny as I would like so working and living aboard will be challenging. But somehow we will pull it off with some combination of will, determination and luck. Come Memorial Day weekend Mary Day will glisten as usual. We will be more than ready to cast off her lines and feel the wind in the sails. The blog for the next few months will keep you updated on progress and introduce you to the crew. I am excited to meet them and watch the mystery of a new season unfold.

Good morning everyone. Tuesday was the full Worm moon, the last full moon of winter. Supposedly named because in some areas of the country worm castings became visible around this time of year. A worm in Maine would have to be tougher than a five pound bag of hammers to get through the frost that is just starting to come out of the ground. This moon seems to have many names according to where you live; the full Sap Moon, the Lenten Moon, the Full Crust Moon (in reference to snow, not Mary's pies), and the full Crow Moon. And why shouldn't a full moon be named according to what is going on in your reality. The full Let's Get Ready to Go Sailing Moon. That works for us. Does that mean that April 9th will have the Full Bore Linear Panic Tax Deadline Moon. Take it easy Cap. What natural seasonal ritual is happening in your world that would name your March full moon?
We could certainly call ours the full Sap Moon. The sap is slowly coming to flow in our taps (see last blog) but there is a decided nip in the air this morning on a strong NW wind. It will be a few days yet before we are emptying buckets twice a day. We could also call this the Admiring Winter Ducks Moon. I was down at the schooner the other day when the ducks pictured here were paddling the harbor. The ice has receded back far enough so that they can dabble for small crustaceans close in to the shoreline. Mergansers (both common and hooded) along with buffelhead are winter residents here. You have heard me say it before and I never tire of it… these ducks are cool. They tickle something in my primordial brain that speaks of wild places in the North where I traveled years ago by land and by sea. Photographing them takes patience and a long lens that I honestly need way more practice with. I hope you enjoy these as much as I relished that moment. The reflections are from the masts of the windjammers. Oddly enough a former passenger who lives nearby came down to photograph these same ducks while I was there and we reminisced about happy memories sailing the bay aboard Mary Day and talked about how lucky we are to live in this amazing world.

Good morning everyone. Well we hope you enjoyed as fabulous a weekend as we had. The weather was just incredible with the thermometer reading near 50 degrees for the first time in many, many months. Surely spring is not far off now.
As the seasons turn another annual ritual is at hand and that is the quest for "liquid gold." Each year we hem and haw about when to tap the maples but this weekend there was absolutely no question about it. Warm days and cold nights are required to get the sap flowing and the forecast for the next week looks perfectly sappy! The energy of sap rising in the maples is the same energy we feel as we get ready for another season of sailing.
Tapping maples is a vernal ritual for our family. Sawyer likes drilling the holes and Courtney enjoys hanging the buckets. Both kids enjoy tasting the first drip of maple sap straight from the tree. On a good day it only takes a few moments before we hear the tink, tink tink, sound of sap dripping into the buckets. Since we do not have many sugar maples we tap red maples, quite abundant in our dooryard. We drill a 7/16 inch hole several inches into the tree and carefully spaced away from previous year's taps. We have found the most productive taps on the south side of the tree placed just below a large limb or just above a large root. Each bucket holds about 2 gallons of crystal clear sap. We have food service plastic trash cans buried deep in the still very large snow banks to hold the sap until we have time to boil it down. It takes about 40 gallons of sap to get one gallon of syrup. While the bulk of the evaporation takes place outdoors we finish the last of the boiling, filtering and canning in our kitchen.
There is nothing fancy about our operation. We made our stove out of an old boiler that we found in the woods. The pan is stainless steel welded together from scraps we bought at the local metal fabrication shop. The entire operation did not cost us more than a hundred dollars, fancy buckets and spiles included. The years of family time and the enjoyment kids get from being a part of such a New England seasonal ritual is more than worth it. The real payback comes when we get to share the fruits of our labor and watch as guests drizzle warm Maine maple syrup over stacks of steaming blueberry pancakes straight from the griddle. How could life get any sweeter?

Good morning everyone. Though morning temperatures have been in the single digits for the last few days we know spring is near. For one Drew, our chief mate, arrived this week and he and I have been building new paint floats in the barn. More on those later. Jen went down to the harbor yesterday to photograph some more of our unique winter ducks and was instead greeted by robins. I don't know what birds are unique to the place you call home but here in Maine robins give us hope that a new season is right around the corner. This particular robin seemed most interested in our anchor chain. I have a theory. As you can see, the part of the chain stack that faces south certainly gets some solar gain and provides about the only open ground one is likely to find here. I am not sure how the worm hunting is on the granite bulkhead but who are we to argue with a robin. That bird must have one tough beak!

It's Spring… What "To Do"?!
Everything comes alive in spring… including people. Projects inside and out that have been on the back burner suddenly call for attention, and get it! There seems to be a bit of frenzy and urgency in the air. It's exciting!
What to do first? It doesn't really matter. Just get out there and get it moving. Wait, that doesn't feel right… if you're like me, you like a little structure to the plan. Although… sometimes just starting something CAN be a step in the right direction, and point you down the project success road.
I'm a list maker, have been as long as I can remember. It helps me stay organized, hahaha! Marking things off a list does give a sense of accomplishment, and that's a great feeling! I'm so into lists that if I do something that wasn't on the list, I'll add it to the list and mark it off! Silly me, but it's done… and that feels good! I like to note the occasion!
List making for spring priorities can be especially useful. It is a very busy time of year. Don't know about you, but my honey-do/me-do list can get quite long. Taking a hard look at that list helps establish priorities and a hierarchy, so that a plan of attack can be devised. Some projects may have multiple steps, and identifying those in itself is a great step. Also consider any target "need to be done" dates for special spring events. A calendar is a great visual aide for scheduling in reverse- that is, from a target date backwards.
So get doing- a "to-do" list It works!
And a grocery list for good measure, haha!
And for making it fun, create a game for yourself or your kids!

Dacomitinib, also known as PF-00299804, is a second-generation irreversible pan-erbB receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It irreversibly blocked erbB1 autophosphorylation in A431 human squamous carcinoma cells with an IC50 of 15.1 nM. It had significant antitumor activity in vivo, including marked tumor regressions in a variety of human tumor xenograft models that express and/or overexpress erbB family members or contain the double mutation (L858R/T790M) in erbB1 (EGFR) associated with resistance to gefitinib and erlotinib. Gonzales A.J., et al. "Antitumor activity and pharmacokinetic properties of PF-00299804, a second-generation irreversible pan-erbB receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor." Mol. Cancer Ther. 7: 1880-1889 (2008).
A phase 2 clinical trial demonstrated that dacomitinib had clinical activity in recurrent/metastatic squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck (RM-SCCHN). Its toxicity was generally manageable with dose adjustments and interruptions. Abdul Razak A.R., et al. "A phase II trial of dacomitinib, an oral pan-human EGF receptor (HER) inhibitor, as first-line treatment in recurrent and/or metastatic squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck." Ann. Oncol. 24: 761-769 (2013).
A phase 2 clinical trial demonstrated that dacomitinib significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) versus erlotinib with acceptable toxicity in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. PFS benefit was shown in most clinical and molecular subsets, notably KRAS wild-type/EGFR any status, KRAS wild-type/EGFR wild-type, and EGFR mutants. Ramalingam S.S., et al.

In my other, other life, I'm an experienced musician. I have an excellent understanding of music theory, musicology and notation and am delighted to work on music-related projects. After many years of playing the viola, I fell in love with brass bands and now play cornet, flugelhorn and occasionally tenor horn. When I'm not trying to master Edwardian cornet solos with their fiendishly difficult triple tonguing (I live in hope!), I manage Royal Spa Brass, the town brass band of Royal Leamington Spa.

Stonehenge: as expected, a sixth yowling moggy has popped up!
19/09/2016 in Myths and legends, Stonehenge | by heritageaction | Leave a comment
Why yowling moggy? Because a series of misrepresentations (6 so far) may suggest a concerted agenda….
It didn't take long did it?!
The Times has said (presumably having been briefed) that "In May the tunnel won the backing of Unesco".
No. The advisory mission for UNESCO expressed misgivings that a short tunnel of 2.9km would be technically possible without irreversible damage to the World Heritage Site's Outstanding Universal Value: "we are concerned that associated portals and dual carriageways could have a highly adverse impact on other parts of the World Heritage landscape that cannot be set aside, however great the benefits of a tunnel."
By what possible interpretation is that "backing the tunnel"?
Watch out for the seventh!
[To see the others put Yowling in the search box.]


With the help of Mason Career Services, Alia Zeitoun secured a job her junior year.
When it came time for Alia Zeitoun to pick a college to attend, it was a no-brainer.
Though Zeitoun just graduated in May with a BS in Accounting and a minor in Economics, she didn't approach Commencement with the worry of many other job-seeking recent grads—she had already found a job, thanks to Mason.
But Mason wasn't all career preparation for Zeitoun, she was also involved in an array of activities: the Muslim Student Association, Arab Student Association, Pakistani Student Association, and yearbook staff.
"I played with the Arab Student Association in my senior year in the International Week soccer tournament where we finished second in the competition," Zeitoun recalls with pride.
But the most lasting impression Zeitoun has of Mason? All of the friends she made here.
Graduating alongside all of my friends and having my family there to support me.
I think people should vote for me because I truly love Mason! It's the place where I had the best four years of my life. The place where I learned so much about who I am as a person and made me who I am today! I couldn't be grateful enough.
Please check the blog on Monday, July 19, to vote for Alia Zeitoun for Mason's Biggest Fan.

100% Pure Gravy ...
... those being Variety's words, not mine, when summing up came for Warners' 1954 boxoffice. They'd had hits ... The High and The Mighty, Dragnet, Them! ... but who figured relics from early talking days to form block-long queues at otherwise first-running houses nationwide? Of reissue success stories, Little Caesar and Public Enemy's was one for the books, not unprecedented though, as there'd been Frankenstein and Dracula for Universal, a matched pair not unlike Cagney and Robinson's defining hits. To my mind, they were always roommates, forever in a three-legged race with Scarface for hottest gangster show of all. 50's patrons who remembered thought so too. Accounts of how Caesar/Enemy shocked were passed down like folklore by moviegoers around before censorship pulled teeth out of crime pics. Adding to mystique was fact WB couldn't get a Code seal to reissue Public Enemy (they tried in 1938) and so kept it and Little Caesar off screens for over two decades. Who'd have figured late 1953 and '54 being ripe occasion to try them again? Cinemascope was just out and color was becoming de rigueur. Would this public sit for stuff so ancient? Emphatically yes said numbers astounding to a jaded trade who figured for having seen everything.
Warners prepared by going scissors-in-hand to PCA monitors in August 1953. Whatever needed cutting, they'd cut. Mischief made to Public Enemy's negative amounted to crime worse than that depicted in the film, a real grapefruit to faces of those expecting fun like old times. But what did newer generations know from footage trimmed? There was still Cagney, Robinson, and reputation both shows brandished like sidearms. Road-testing would come first. Little Caesar and Public Enemy booked into Broadway's Holiday Theatre, a 950-seat also-ran normally shut out of top first-run product, according to manager Mike Rose. He'd try the pair for a week and Warners would measure interest therefrom. What happened next, nobody saw coming. Little Caesar and Public Enemy knocked house records for a loop through five breathtaking weeks, $100,000 racked up in grosses. Warners now had wicket votes enough to proceed with nationwide rollout, confident that expense of fresh campaigning would be more than rewarded. Found money this was, but adding to it meant fresh paper, trailers, and new prints for saturation play. Quick run-off in opening months of 1954 was figured, only question being ... could Little Caesar and Public Enemy abide a tough winter?
These two oldsters rolled up a gross for seven days that would have been gratifying for a brand new super-production, said Motion Picture Herald reports out of Buffalo where the combo filled snowy dates (the first long line at the boxoffice in many, many months, according to management --- it extended two blocks). Bad weather was no deterrent as Little Caesar and Public Enemy spread across the northeast. Unlike the reissues aimed primarily for the small-town and nabe house, these pictures are aggressively pitched at the prime first-run situations before they are sold to the subsequents, said Variety of the gangster duo and other high-profile encores of the season, including The Best Years Of Our Lives, The Egg and I, and Pinocchio. The pictures, in short, are handled exactly as an important new release (note Warner's trade ad here with Caesar/Enemy on equal footing with Hondo, The Command, and other new arrivals). For Little Caesar and Public Enemy, response was topping that accorded fresh fare out of competing majors. Wham biz in Detroit saw Cagney/Robinson ahead of The Eddie Cantor Story, Take The High Ground, and Forbidden, all first-run but second to the vintage pair. Same was happening in Los Angeles, with Little Caesar/Public Enemy in two prime locations downtown, trampling much of what was just out of neighboring gates. Variety's nationwide survey in late January put the combo at # 8 for all features in release at the time, unusually sock for two oldies.
There were bumps, mostly minor, some proving beneficial in a long run. Worcester, Massachusetts police inspected Little Caesar and Public Enemy at the city's Warner Theatre and ordered several deletions before the show went on. Cries of censorship resulted in page-one coverage, Worcester's police chief maintaining his department was empowered to discipline theatres playing pictures complained of. Boxoffice reported the incident, observing that the police always have been sensitive about gangster films, their feeling dating back to the time when hoodlums were in control of much of the nation. Publicity value of all this was obvious, as was open-mindedness among local censors elsewhere. Vancouver's board had condemned Public Enemy back in 1931. Now the show was passed with members saying it makes a good comedy with the takeoff on gangster films(!). "Old-time" aspects of the bill were emphasized at San Diego's Linda Theatre where patrons were invited to ID "stars of yesteryear" posted on lobby displays. Dated aspects of Caesar/Enemy were neatly side-stepped at other sites with new posters using mature art of both Cagney and Robinson to suggest more recent vintage of the pics. Warners claimed both would be compatible with wide screens, to which many houses had converted, but showing these with heads lobbed off couldn't have been pleasing to crowds. Urban play proved more rewarding than small town engagements. It was interesting to see the cornball acting that knocked them dead, said exhibitor Nate Oglesbee of Ramona, California, adding we lost out flat on this pair.
There would be an interesting footnote to the Little Caesar/Public Enemy revival. Mike Rose, whose Holiday Theatre in New York started it all, came back to Warners requesting another gangster combo for his 1954 July 4 program. Once again, the Holiday served as testing ground, said Variety, to learn if lightning strikes the same place twice. Featured was Smart Money, a 1931 pairing of Robinson and Cagney, and The Roaring Twenties, 1939's look back at prohibition gangland, also starring Cagney. The combination started strong with a $22,000 opening week, dropping to $14,000 the following, with $8,000 and $5,200 banked a third and fourth week. Unusually fine for oldies and comparing with great biz done by Little Caesar and Public Enemy, said Variety, but total from the four week engagement at $49,200 was less than half the $100,000 realized on Caesar/Enemy, deep-sixing plans for country-wide release. Two years later, all four features would shuffle off to television, with Public Enemy playing there for a next fifty years in the truncated version generated for its '54 reissue. Warners has more recently put back footage long missing for DVD consumers, and Amazon Streaming now offers both Public Enemy and Little Caesar for on-demand viewing in high-definition.

There are so many wonderful things to learn from this post, but the most interesting one is the fact that Little Ceasar was edited for most of its life.
Christopher said...
saw the Public Enemy/Little Caesar combo on the big screen at The Granada here in the early 70s..on a 16.9 screen more suited to showing classics(which they showed in abundance) in full screen,unlike the Casa Linda where I saw a Dracula/Frankenstein combo the same year on their Widescreen with the heads really chopped!
In a few years everyone(along with the Monsters) would be gangster crazy..with TV shows like The Untouchables The Roaring Twenties and movies like Al Capone,The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond and Machine Gun Kelly..etc.
Ah, the pre-VHS age of reissues. I recall the regular returns of Disney flicks -- not only the animated ones but live action as well. If memory serves, "Treasure Island" and "Dr. Syn, Alias the Scarecrow" (the latter a pasteup of some television episodes) went out as a double feature in the 1970s, with nicely matched posters ("Pirates' Gold!" "Smugglers' Loot!"). According to Maltin, Disney had to clip a pirate taking a bullet to get a G rating.
Also recall reading in the late 70s that Disney stepped up their re-release program to raise quick cash for their Florida "city". Not sure if that was true -- haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere -- or just a reporter's guess.
Bill Luton said...
Speaking of popular reissues, wonder which movie had the most official re-releases? Gone with the Wind? King Kong?
Bill, my guess would be the Disney animated classics ... and GWTW among most revived live action features. "King Kong" had four official reissues that I'm aware of, and "The Ten Commandments," I believe, had three.
My guess would be SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS, which (I think) has been reissued eight times.
The champ in recent years -- and not because of popular demand! -- might be BLAZING STEWARDESSES, the 1975 Yvonne DeCarlo-Ritz Brothers-Don Barry feature. It's been issued four times (as BLAZING STEWARDESSES, TEXAS LAYOVER, CATHOUSE COWGIRLS, and THE GREAT TRUCK ROBBERY).
I suspect the all-time reissue leaders are the Charlie Chaplin shorts of 1914-17; reissues of some titles might be in the double digits!
One of our downtown theatres seemed to have a print on-hand of THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH. I can't tell you how many times that seemed to play at the Auditorium Theatre here.
Also, a summer didn't go by without a drive-in showing of Robert Mitchum's THUNDER ROAD.
Plus, I can remember attending a drive-in showing of THE GRAPES OF WRATH and TOBACCO ROAD aometime in the early '70s as well.
John, your experience sounds very much like ours. "Thunder Road" was a drive-in and hardtop mainstay here right to the mid-seventies, while both "The Grapes Of Wrath" and "Tobacco Road" played heavily through most of the 1960's, often as a combo ...
THUNDER ROAD was never "officially" reissued by UA.
The prints just stayed in the exchanges until they wore out. Several new prints were struck by the mid-60s because drive-ins in the South continued to book the film. I played it in 1973, and it was still booked on percentage. UA never sold THUNDER ROAD at a flat rate.
GONE WITH THE WIND was officially re-issued in 1942, 1947, 1954, 1961, 1967, 1974, 1989 and 1998.
I wonder if Robinson's 50s Warner films like "Illegal" were a response to the success of this double bill.And if I'd known how many old movies were still shown theatrically in the South in the 70s, I'd have gone crazy, wanting to move there.
In some ways, we were like a real-life Hooterville and Pixley down here, although we never got around to hosting Ricahrd Arlen and Buddy Rogers for a latter-day premiere of "Wings" (if only!).
I wonder if any of the audiences for Public Enemy/Little Caesar were consciously aware of the fact that these were "pre-code" (had that term been developed yet?) and made with a little more "freedom" then the "new" product out there.
> The champ in recent years -- and not because of popular demand! -- might be BLAZING STEWARDESSES, the 1975 Yvonne DeCarlo-Ritz Brothers-Don Barry feature.
Less "re-releases" than "perpetual release," movies like Night of the Living Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Last House on the Left and, inexplicably, "don't Look in the Basement" seemed to pass through as part of drive-in triple features at leas onece every summer from the mid-70s to early-mid 80s.
Mr. Mcelwee:Did your town have a Mr. Haney-How'd ya like to buy a gen-u-wine, electrified, fortified, mechanical flicker machine complete with the 5 minute version of "Ben-Hur"?
Brother, it's a town filled with Haneys.

Strange how certain films seem to resonate forever. ....can recall the grapefruit sequence, the end of Rico and cuts from THE DENTIST being used in very early PBS arty films in the 70s...just in time for the nostalgia wave.

Q: How to fetch values from model class to text fields , if only single data in json? this is my JSON response
{
"building_name": "Belsalah",
"location": "Palm",
"unit_number": "101",
"unit_type": "FLAT",
"sub_type": "1BHK",
}

this is how I am calling API
Future<UnitModel> getUnitDetails(String propertyId,String unitId,String tokenKey) async{
final response = await http.get(Constants.BASEURL + propertyId + unitId,
headers:{"Accept": "application/json",
"Authorization": tokenKey});
if (response.statusCode == 200) {
  return UnitModel.fromjson(json.decode(response.body));
} else {
  throw Exception('Failed to load post');
}
}

this is my model class
class UnitModel {
 String building_name;
 String location;
 String unti_no;
 String unit_type;
 String sub_type;
 });
  factory UnitModel.fromjson(Map<String, dynamic> json) {
    return UnitModel(
      building_name: json['building_name'],
      location: json['location'],
      unti_no: json['unit_number'],
      unit_type: json['unit_type'],
     );
    }
   }

How to get the model class values to the textview? in a flutter page?

A: Use a FutureBuilder. Show a progress loader when the data is not loaded. When the data is loaded replace the data with your layout. When the data is loaded, you can access your data using 'className.property'.
FutureBuilder(
  future: getUnitDetails("pass","your","parameters"),
  builder: (context, snapshot) {
    if (snapshot.hasData) {
      // replace Text() with your layout.
      return Text('${snapshot.data.location} ${snapshot.data.building_name}')
    } else if (snapshot.hasError){
      // handle error.
    } else {
      return CircularProgressIndicator();
    }
  },
);

Balanced Bite, Gum Re-Contouring, Veneers Create A Great Look!
A bite analysis made it clear that his bite was not balanced, and that was causing problems with the uncomfortable way his teeth came together, as well as how his smile looked. After correcting his bite, re-contouring gum tissue with a diode laser and placing gorgeous, porcelain veneers, he now enjoys a comfortable chewing surface--and, of course--a great smile. Notice how the youthful, bright veneers enable his smile to follow the graceful line of his lower lip--just the way they should!

we spent a very nice day in a town that isn't so used to host kick off tournament. it will be Papozze 1 for the records but it will be remembered as RetroAcademy 1.0.
the tournament was fun, fun place too, between 2 goals of a 5 a side soccer pitch. 4 amiga stations, 9 players, 3 newbie that said already they will challenge again Fabrizio in Papozze, town mates) and 6 old koa faces.
Thanks to Fabrizio to organize such a great event + the kick off tournament!
I posted some pictures on fb ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/185040304886988/ )with the phone, here will follow a review of the day with some more and detailed pictures, in case some of you would like to join a tournament like this next year.
Last edited by Torchiador on Tue May 06, 2014 10:40 am, edited 2 times in total.
Here is the review of the saturday's retrogame event.
Papozze is a small town in the North Est of Italy, near to Venice, we spent 2 hours and half to reach the venue by Car.
The team you know it already, in the first row Cousin and me, in the second row, my brother and Flavio.
Flavio reached Milan the night before as for him, it was a very long trip (very far North West to very far North Est), so he split the trip and the costs too.
the Venue was a stand used for sports and cultural events. a nice new 3 years old building with much wood for the roof.
RetroAcademy, the retro game and computer event gathered many collectors that have much stuff to show and to sell.
In fact it was possible to see a load of retro stuff, in many case very rare pieces of hardware and software masterpiece, just for those who were able to recognize it!
MAME had a special corner with a couple of Cabinets arcade style.
There was also some room for retro robots Art!
Although our love for retro stuff, we were there also to play kick off! it was GAMETIME!
Koney K wasn't sure to be there although he lives in the neighbourhood due to job issues but we were delighted to see him and, above all, his amazing ultra professional Commodore Drive Joystick!!!!
Of course also Fabrizio, the organizer of the RetroAcademy was attending the tournament. it was said that, perhaps some newbie could join the tournament, and in fact that was: even three young 21 years old boys joined their first tournament. they just know about the legend of the hardest and best soccer game ever, they wonted to join the legend.
The tournament didn't offer many surprises.
Among the newbies Davide scored the first goal winning a pin to remark it! a pity that it was the only one he scored!
Sandro and Alessandro played an amazing, tense and fun match. Sandro caught a very nasty penalty kick, in the end of the match Sandro was leading by one and Alessandro had also a red card on his back, but cousin was able to rob the draw thanks to a last second lob! a gaol that gave Alessandro the second place in the tournament! Sandro was punished with his same weapon!
Koney was drawing 1-1 with me (he marked this many times in front of his arch rival Fabrizio).
Flavio scored much! I see him in a very good form!
Alessandro played well, in particular he had a very good performance with me scoring 7!
Sandro in cleaning the dust on his joystick, he'll be ready for the World Cup, hoping we will have one this year!
Our newbie friends were hammered but whey wanted it! they wanted to see how strong play players that enjoy the game since 1990 when they weren't even born. and it was even said that a world champion (sorry, a THREE times world champion!) was attending the tournament. we couldn't disappoint their expectations!
Well, the good news is that they liked very much the game and, as they live near Fabrizio, who have much hardware and room, it is possible that something might start there.
It was a great Saturday, we had great fun, sure we will attend RetroAcademy 2.0!!

This has, as we all know, been a tough season. It's been tough to watch for stretches, it's been tough to read about, and sometimes, it's been tough to write about. But fortunately, you've all stuck around to, uh, enjoy? Commiserate? Hate-read? Whatever the reason, not only have you stuck around, there's more of you than there were.
Readership is up, page views are up, all the nerdy dork internet stats are up - and at the very end of a season where so much has not gone according to plan, and where a lot of folks have probably and understandably checked out, we want you to know that we appreciate the fact that you stick around and that you make TSF one of your daily habits.
We've started doing some new things around match days - the crowdsourced player ratings, the one-line player ratings, the Parting Shots - and hopefully you find them useful and fun. We've also added some new folks, and we may be doing a bit more of that over the summer, so stay tuned.
We're going to be spending the summer not just covering the incessant bleating of the transfer market, but developing new ideas to post and new features and all that good stuff, so in a sense we're just getting rolling - and hopefully you'll all be along for the ride with your ideas and your comments and your general awesomeness.
We're not done with this season yet, by any means, but with the league being decided, this seemed like a good time to say thank you, so...thank you!

Home Berlin Life & Politics Opinion Jane Silver: Hummus as a peace broker
Jane Silver: Hummus as a peace broker
by Jane Silver
Here's a thing nobody has ever said in the history of the universe: "You know what I really hate? Hummus."
I can't think of a less offensive foodstuff than that humble chickpea-tahini-garlic-olive oil-lemon blend. It's cheap, it doesn't have any weird ingredients, it's not too spicy, it's infinitely customisable, it can be eaten on or with basically anything, it's versatile enough for a light snack or a full meal. It's vegan, for fuck's sake, but not in an obnoxious holier-than-thou way.
So, and speaking of holy: it's pretty damn ironic that the food equivalent of Zack Morris from Saved By the Bell has its roots in the world's most troubled region. Tussles involving hummus seem to arise every few years, neatly coinciding with spikes in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While Lebanon's made the most aggressive claims to the dish, even campaigning to give it a national designation a la Champagne, the Israelis are the ones smearing it on their faces whilst proclaiming "Hummus, not Hamas!" in a less sanitary answer to the Ice Bucket Challenge.
But hummus has also historically acted as a common point of agreement between Middle Eastern nationalities, with soldiers on either side sneaking behind battle lines to enjoy a good wipe. Here in Berlin, the dip is what unites Neukölln's longtime Arab population with the young Israeli expats who've been flooding in recently. When hungry for a taste of home, all flock to Sonnenallee's Schwarma Row, aka Little Beirut: that clump of Arabic establishments between Pannierstraße and Fuldastraße.
The busiest of them all is Azzam, an oft-blogged frequent contender for the "Berlin's Best Hummus" title, though what people really mean when they say "hummus" is actually musabaha, a mixture of chickpeas in blended, mashed and whole form. €3.50 gets you a king-sized portion, mixed with careful consideration in a metal bowl with a wooden pestle and served with a multitude of pitas and a plate of pickles, tomato slices, olives and mint that could almost be a salad.
But Azzam tends to get too packed for its own good, and so if you find yourself in the area before evening-time you'd do well to seek out one of its Sonnenallee competitors: Al Pasha and Akroum Snack, both holes-in-the-wall with early hours and limited, legume-based menus.
I tried the former just yesterday, looking for some brunchy salvation post-Torstraßen Festival. Like most of the restaurants in the area, Akroum's a no-frills joint with the ambiance of a hospital waiting room, set apart by the smell of baking flatbread and the bright yellow menu inexplicably decorated with pictures of fish. The drinks list on said menu is longer than the food one: there's only musabaha (€3.50), foul (hummus' fava-bean-based sibling, €3.50) and fatteh (a chickpea-yoghurt-fried-pita concoction that joins Slushies and Saltines on the list of foods whose names are also adjectives describing them, €4).
You'll see at least one of those on every table along with the aforementioned flatbread ("Arabic Pizza", €1.25), which you get fresh out the oven topped with meat or cheese or za'aatar ("Thymian"). It's that last one, the tangy-crunchy thyme-sumac-sesame spice blend, that you want, both to stay on the vegan trip and because it's great dunked in a bowlful of Akroum's soft, creamy musabaha, which maybe lacks the complexity of Azzam's version but is somehow more comforting, especially after a night of one too many Original Long Drinks (seriously, guys... is it just me, or is Finland trying to kill us?).
Add in the ubiquitous veggie platter and a mini-Tasse of free tea for a brunch that's good enough to please Jews, Muslims and Christians; Israelis and Palestinians; hipsters and haters; Mossy Brackets and her estranged fuckbuddy-turned-flatmate. Berliners, if you've got a sworn enemy, bring him or her down to Sonnenallee one of these days and let this warm, chunky, chickpea-filled salve heal the rift between you.

Prof Emeritus Norman Saul chronicles forgotten educational exchange with Soviets
LAWRENCE — American and Russian leaders have clashed frequently in past years on several issues, including the civil war in Syria and Moscow's 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine.
The developments and chilling of diplomatic ties have brought back media narratives of the Cold War. A University of Kansas researcher said that while Russian and American disagreements at the highest levels often receive the most attention, it's important to chronicle many instances of cooperation between the two sides, such as art, education, music and religion.
Norman Saul, professor emeritus of history, recently co-edited the book "New Perspectives on Russian-American Relations" with William Benton Whisenhunt. The book includes 18 essays that detail how the two nations have interacted in ways beyond the Cold War and other often adversarial means.
"The main idea is to keep the study of Russian-American relations alive during a period of strained relations and to demonstrate what can be done and should be done in the future," Saul said.
The book includes an article Saul wrote, "The Program that Shattered the Iron Curtain: The Lacy-Zarubin (Eisenhower-Khrushchev) Agreement of January 1958," on the cultural exchange program based on research in the Eisenhower Presidential Library and his personal experience.
Even though it was a tense time, just months after the Soviets launched Sputnik, and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev claimed missile superiority over the United States late in 1957, U.S. special ambassador William Lacy and Georgy Zarubin, the outgoing Soviet ambassador to the United States, were able to negotiate an exchange of graduate students.
Pursuing cultural relations came on the heels of a very successful tours of a Harlem company performing the Gershwin-composed opera "Porgy and Bess" in Russia and the Bolshoi Ballet's first visit to America.
"Eisenhower long believed in and pushed for people-to-people exchanges, and Khrushchev was solidifying his program of peaceful coexistence and hoping to pave the way for a visit to the U.S. that took place in 1959," Saul said.
Initially, the Americans wanted 500 students to exchange from each side, while the Soviets preferred only one or two. Both the leaders of the Soviet KBG and J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI, were concerned with security issues, so the negotiators initially settled on each side sending 20 graduate students.
Saul said the Soviet students were generally much older than the American travelers because the U.S. agreed to the Soviet and European definition of anyone who had not yet finished a formal doctorate, or "kandidat," which usually takes up to 20 years to complete after the publication of a major book in the field. Other countries could not be left out, so many others developed similar exchanges.
The exchange allowed for more civilians based in educational institutions to interact with graduate students from the other side in the Cold War instead of only thinking of the Soviets or Americans as enemies, he said.
As a Columbia University graduate student in 1959, Saul attended a reception for the first contingent of Soviet exchanges. He met Alexander Yakovlev, who later became a key adviser to Mikhail Gorbachev and is credited as the intellectual force behind the reform programs of glasnost and perestroika.
In 1960, Saul participated in the third year of the exchange.
"I was impressed by the impact of the American and other Western and Eastern European as well as Asian and Middle Eastern students," he said. "For example, most American men had beards — considered a relic of the past in Russia. Soon, Soviet students began growing beards."
He also bought many Russian books at secondhand bookstores by exchanging American classics by Hemingway and Faulkner.
The exchange expanded over coming decades to include summer language programs, a separate senior exchange and separate invitations by American universities to Soviet scholars. KU had a unique Soviet writer-in-residence program for several years that brought a well-known Soviet to the United State for a month.
In addition to exposing people from both sides to a variety of styles, books, clothes and outlooks, the exchange included popular films, exhibitions and performances such as jazz musician Duke Ellington and the American Ballet Theatre. Saul was able to see the film "Oklahoma" dubbed in Russian except for the musical parts were left in English.
The exchange helped expand the minds of Americans and Soviets toward each other and allowed them to look for commonalities.
"This program is often overlooked in the history of the Cold War," Saul said.
The book examines various other topics of Russian-American relations that don't receive as much attention, including the influence of the Federalist Papers in Russia.
Whisenhunt is a professor of history at the College of DuPage in Illinois, and he will speak at KU in November as part of programming by KU's Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies.


SAN ANTONIO - State and local leaders gathered Wednesday morning at City Hall to announce the kick-off of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, which offers free tax preparation.
VITA volunteers will be available through April 17 for San Antonio and Bexar County individuals and families who earned up to $60,000 last year.
A new app, VITA SA, will be available this year. Billy Cox, a VITA volunteer, is looking forward to using the online tool.
"One of the challenges we had last year was we had some sites that had too many volunteers, while a lot of sites had not enough. So, we said, 'What can we do to let the volunteers know where they can go and be the most effective rather than be frustrated?'" Cox said. "I'm highly optimistic that app will help us push the volunteers to the sites that need help. Therefore, we will help more clients. That is what it really is all about."
Last year, VITA helped prepare more than 31,000 tax returns, which resulted in more than $54 million in refunds to taxpayers, including more than $21 million in Earned Income Tax Credit dollars, officials said. The free service saved taxpayers an estimated $10 million in tax preparation fees.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa to make first NFL start against the Rams
The Rams just saw Alex Smith return from a devastating injury, now they'll get the first start for Tua

The Miami Dolphins selected quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Alabama, and according to multiple sources he will make his first career start in Week 8 against the Los Angeles Rams. The Dolphins are on a bye this week.
And now it is, officially, Tua Time. https://t.co/A6qJbhJthB
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 20, 2020
Tagovailoa suffered a dislocated hip, fractured posterior wall, broken nose and concussion on a sack against Mississippi State last year, causing him to miss the rest of the college season, plus draft preparation time and offseason preparation for his pro career. This is the reason that veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick has held the number one job for all of 2020, but also because Fitzpatrick had been doing quite well.
The Dolphins are 3-3 and ranked 11th in DVOA. They've won three of their last four games, all by blowout. But Tagovailoa entered the game last week against the New York Jets, going two-for-two with nine yards. So long as Tagovailoa is healthy, it seems that head coach Brian Flores is confident he gives Miami the best chance to win. He is hoping that the first win comes against the Rams, but LA head coach Sean McVay obviously would not agree.
It was only two weeks ago that the Rams saw the return of Alex Smith before most expected it. Now they'll get to be the first defense that prepares to stop Tua.

Toyota Australia Rebuilt IT System Following the 2019 Cyberattack
This Is A Reminder that Careful SAM Planning Can Help You Avoid Some Nasty Security and Compliance Issues.
In 2019, Toyota Motor Company Australia was hit by a cyberattack, leaving employees with no access to their email accounts for days. The company apologized to its customers for the inconvenience, saying that it was experiencing technical difficulties and was unreachable via phone or email.
Two years later, the company managed to rebuild its entire IT environment without the help of a central list of its IT assets and how they were interconnected, because the system used to store that data was incomplete.
IT infrastructure manager Michael Mirabito revealed to IT News that the carmaker was in the process of rebuilding its IT helpdesk systems and configuration management database (CMDB) when the attack took place.
When Toyota closed its Australian manufacturing operations in late 2017, it also moved its IT support from more of an insourced type model to an outsourced model.
At the time, a managed services provider who used its own proprietary – but basic – ticketing system was appointed. However, Toyota decided not to renew the contract, and chose another provider in their place.
According to Mirabito,
The old vendor wasn't happy about not renewing the contract and it was a very quick exodus. They refused to stay longer than two to three months, and it was pretty much, 'That's it. We're gone at this point, whether you like it or not.
As a result, the company decided to stand up its own ITSM platform in ServiceNow, but with only three months, which fell over year-end holidays, Toyota had to make some decisions on what was critical and essential functionalities, and what had to be skipped. The CMDB was a casualty of the rush and was still under repair when the attack occurred.
I can tell you now, it made us realise how important the CMDB is. We wished that we had a better CMDB at that point because it would have made that rebuilding process better. Unfortunately, because we didn't, we had unknown infrastructure out there, we had apps and services that we didn't know how they connected together, and knowledge within the business had been lost over time. We had to just scramble at that point and work as well as we could together to rebuild and get the information that we needed.
The recovery led IT to servers they didn't know were still in the picture, and to repair systems that had been long overlooked by the people who originally set them up.

As per Mirabito's statement, since the attack, the company had benefited from service discovery and mapping. It found IT assets it wasn't previously aware of and then mapped how they were connected to other systems and processes.
The company also turned on software asset management (SAM) to keep up to date with paid licenses and to challenge users whose licenses were unused for a long time.

When clinicians used simple written forms to focus attention during clinical breast exams, the rate of breast mass detection from the previous year doubled without retraining clinicians, thus affirming the importance of clinician attentiveness. This finding, researchers say, can be applied to all aspects of medicine and undermines the need for intensive training, complicated techniques, and medical reimbursement codes to improve this simple, yet valuable procedure.

SCOTUS Allows Kentucky Abortion Law To Continue
By Johannah Grenaway
The court refused to hear the case, but didn't explain why.
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a challenge to a controversial Kentucky abortion law, meaning it will remain in effect. The law requires doctors to show and describe ultrasound images to women who are seeking an abortion, while playing audio of the fetus' heartbeat.
Doctors are required to do this even if the woman doesn't want to. Doctors who don't can be fined and referred to the state's medical licensing board.
The law was passed in 2017. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit shortly after, in support of Kentucky's only licensed abortion clinic and its physicians. The ACLU said the law tries to coerce women into changing their mind about an abortion and that it violates the First Amendment by forcing doctors into state-mandated speech, even when a patient could be traumatized.
A lower federal judge ruled the law was unconstitutional when it was enacted. It's been blocked until earlier this year, when a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the law.
The state of Kentucky says the law is part of an "informed-consent process" requiring that "women who are considering an abortion be provided with information that is truthful, non-misleading and relevant to their decision of whether to have an abortion."
The Supreme Court did not give any explanation as to why it refused to hear the case.
In March, the justices are scheduled to hear a major abortion case regarding a Louisiana law that would require abortion doctors to get admitting privileges from nearby hospitals. That ruling could redefine access to abortion when it comes to the power of individual states.

Judge rules in favor of Uber in rider rape lawsuit
By Jessica Campisi - 11/23/19 10:50 AM EST
A judge has ruled in favor of Uber in a lawsuit filed by a woman who said the ride-share company's windshield decal in a suspended driver's car gave her the false impression that she would be safe.
The judge ruled that the driver — who is facing criminal charges and could be sentenced to life in prison — was not acting within the scope of his employment with Uber when he allegedly picked up the woman from a shopping mall in the San Francisco Bay Area, drove her to a secluded place and raped her in 2018, Bloomberg reports.
While U.S. Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Scott ultimately sided with Uber, she rejected its argument that the assault resulted from "a chance encounter with a predator," as the female passenger made a plausible case that the driver was pretending to be an Uber driver.
"Sexual assault is a horrible crime and our thoughts continue to be with the victim," Uber said in an email to Bloomberg.
Corley noted that Uber could be putting itself in harm's way if it lets its drivers who are known to be dangerous keep the company's decals on their vehicles. The driver involved in the lawsuit had previously been suspended for allegedly harassing a female passenger before the 2018 alleged rape took place.
As a result, Corley wrote that if there had been an "intentional failure to retrieve" the decal from the driver on Uber's part, the woman's case "could rise to a level of 'extreme indifference' necessary to support an award of punitive damages," according to Bloomberg.
The woman's attorney said the ruling was "not a total loss," as the judge said the plaintiff can revise her complaint and refile it to pursue a negligence claim.
"We are going to amend the complaint and proceed with the case," attorney Matthew Davis told the outlet.

This page describes work accomplished on the new TMRC layout during the month of December 2010, as taken from the descriptions posted to the club mailing list.
Something new from the Operation Committee. We've made up special slips which can be inserted in car-order pockets, to tell operators to hold cars for repair work.
Alternatively, an empty car owned by our railroad can be held at the Freight Yard waiting for an outgoing load. Here are the documents for two moves of gondola 18103. Having delivered cargo to Eastern Lucubrator, it will be held at F-Yard (the inserted slip overrides the normal instruction calling for the car to go back to staging) and then later, instead of being sent a car to pick up scrap steel at Bill's Metals, the yardmaster will be told to use the empty car that's already in the yard.
A railroad wouldn't delay cars owned by a "foreign road" in this way. Rules are that a delayed car is subject to "demeurrage"--basically a rental fee.
Here's gondola 18103 on the storage track at F-Yard. Yes, the background is a little cluttered.

Listed below are the primary specification for a DGPS feed over NTRIP for the GNSS Surveyor.
The DGPS solution will only include measurements from satellites for which DGPS corrections were provided.
SBAS corrections will not be applied when using RTCM correction data.
Precise Point Positioning will be deactivated when using RTCM correction data.
A number of issues can occur with DGPS data feeds. Refer to the image below of the NTRIP connection manager. There are four check marks that all must be green before the GNSS Surveyor can consume a DGPS feed.
Message 3 is optional but desirable in the feed.
If one of the above configurations does not exist in the data stream from the reference station, a DGPS solution cannot be attained. Please contact your reference station administrator to determine if the mount point can be altered. Clicking on the "i" symbol to the right of the valid messages line will bring up a diagnostic UI shown below. Using this interface, once can easily see what messages are being received. The "used messages" section are those types applicable for use with the GNSS Surveyor.
The GNSS Surveyor must be paired with the iOS device and on for this checkbox to become active. If the Bad Elf is paired and this check mark does not turn green, turn the GNSS Surveyor of and then back on again.
After a period between 5 and 60 seconds, the GNSS Surveyor will send a message back to the app that it is consuming the DGPS data feed and is actively applying the corrections to the location solution. With all four check marks shown in green, one can infer that a DGPS solution is active and operational. If this check mark does not display, it is possible the frequency of the DGPS messages is beyond the DGPS corrections age of 60 seconds.
If you choose to override the location, adjust the settings to your desired latitude and longitude first. Then, slide the switch labeled "Enable Override." As long as this switch remains active, the app will report the fixed location regardless of the location reported by the Bad Elf. This configuration is typically used for scenarios where one is connecting to a VRSVirtual Reference Station network and wants to force a particular connection or location.
