One Week After Las Vegas Shooting, Festivalgoer Opens Up About Survivor's Guilt
11:46 AM PDT 10/9/2017 by Christina Schoellkopf
Missy Gross of California tells THR: "I look down every day at the bracelet on my arm from the festival and I think, 'I am so lucky to be here.'"
A week ago Monday, in the early hours of a Las Vegas morning, five women barricaded themselves in a laundry room just off the Strip after the unimaginable happened. Hours earlier they were strangers: A mother and daughter enjoying a girls night out, two school teachers taking a break from the classroom, and a 20-something planning to dance the night away to Jason Aldean.
In the midst of running away from the largest mass shooting in modern U.S. history at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival, their lives crossed paths. They stumbled upon a maintenance room at the Hooters Casino Hotel a mile away from the festival and formed a makeshift army; after locking the door from the inside, they buried themselves underneath piles of maintenance clothing, armed themselves with sticks, the only protection they could find, and waited.
Missy Gross, one of the school teachers from Redondo Beach, California, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about her story of survival and reflected on living with the trauma for seven days now.
Gross, 24, is a frequent festivalgoer. With two Stagecoaches, two Bonnaroos and two Warped Tours under her belt, she and one of her fellow teachers at Rolling Hills Country Day School in Rolling Hills Estates, California, decided to experience Route 91 for the first time. At the last minute, she almost canceled her trip after coming down with a cold. "I can't say I'm glad I went, but I'm glad that I was able to be a positive influence and help people," she explains a week later. "I would have felt helpless if I were here, knowing my friends were there."
Gross says she will never attend a music festival again and has no plans to return to Las Vegas.
"Literally two minutes before the shooting started, my friend and I looked at each other and said, 'We're coming back next year.' It was our first time at Route 91 and I thought, 'I'm going to go every year,'" Gross recalls. "Then everything changed in a matter of seconds."
Below, Gross tells THR her story of escape, seeking refuge with other women and how she is beginning to pick up the pieces after returning to Los Angeles County.
Your experience last week sheds light on how people banded together in the face of the violence. What are some of the more remarkable moments you witnessed of strangers helping each other?
The amount of hate in this world is completely flushed by the love. In the face of imminent danger, it was crazy to look out and see active duty [military], veterans or anyone who had some sort of training, standing up and making themselves targets, trying to protect us. It was so amazing to feel that little bit of safety, knowing that someone had been watching over you. They put their lives on the line so we could have ours. If I could go back and thank every single person, I would.
What were those initial moments like when you realized there was an active shooter?
I don't know why, but in faith — I've never experienced an active shooter before — I was so calm. I told my friend, a mother of three, "We're gonna get you home. It's gonna be OK." I was strategic. I was like, "We need to move. We need to get under cover." Every time [Stephen Paddock would] shoot, we'd hit the floor and then we would run. My first thought when everything happened was a terrorist attack. There were so many people there, it was the perfect place for a terrorist attack. And so I thought, "We have to get off the Strip and go to a smaller area." So I looked up and I saw Tropicana and a Hooters Hotel. And I said, "We gotta go to Hooters." So I grabbed [my friend's] hand and we both called our fiance and husband, told them we loved them, and we just started running.
What were your thoughts as you ran?
In the moment, I didn't have tears. There were people, I will say girls, who just lost it. People were dragging them, not because they had been shot or wounded, but because they could not emotionally handle what was happening around them. I don't know what it is about myself, but I was in motion and I was thinking, "I need to get my friend Tammy home to her three boys. I need to make sure she gets home." That was my mission, I guess, to get us both out of there. In the moment I realized that crying was not going to help the situation. I needed to be safe. But I remember thinking, "If this man walks around the corner, we're all fish in a barrel. He could pick us all off."
So many of the injured were trampled. How did you manage to exit the festival and take refuge?
We tried to run out the gate that leads into the Strip. But this man was there with a gray T-shirt and pants. I'll never forget his face. He looked at me and said, "You cannot go this way. This is where he's shooting." And he's yelling at people to move. I looked at him like, "Well, why not if he's shooting into the festival?" And then I saw people running into the festival with gunshot wounds. People were coming in from the exit, bleeding with bullet wounds. There was a break in the concrete wall and they were coming in to try to hide behind the wall. By the third round, it's physically impossible for them to run from the center of the stage and then run to the Strip and then run in within a matter of minutes. It doesn't make any sense. I think there was definitely another shooter. I thought there was someone on foot and that's why I thought, "We have to run."
We were jumping over people, hot coals that had spilled from grills. There were SWAT teams with their guns pointing towards us yelling, "Run! Run! Run!" So we thought there was someone behind us. We didn't know. We got out of the festival gate and there were puddles of blood everywhere, where you could see that people had been there and dragged to the side. Then he started shooting again, so we hid behind a generator until the next pause.
We ended up behind some portable office buildings where there were a bunch of people. I looked down at one woman's leg and she was profusely bleeding. My friend put pressure on her leg [until a nurse cried out to help]. When he would shoot, we would continue to get down and move on. We were moving to the point where we got under some bleachers. And there was a man there who had been shot in the head. So many people were around him helping him and I remember thinking, "Oh my god. What do I do? Do I run? Do I stay under cover?"
Then what happened?
At this point, we didn't know whether he was up top or down below. We could hear that it was coming from a higher sound but we could also hear that it sounded like someone on the ground and I thought, "Someone's on the ground. We need to get as far away as possible." We went in the maintenance entrance of the Hooters Hotel and barricaded ourselves in the laundry room with three other women. We locked the door and a fence inside the building. We covered ourselves in maintenance clothing and hid there with sticks because we didn't have anything else to defend ourselves. We were all concertgoers and they all ran from the venue. A mother and daughter and another girl named Bryce and we just saw her sitting on the floor and she was crying. She was shaking really badly and she was by herself. My friend and I sat with her and tried to calm her down. We gave her some water and we said, "Deep breaths." And then we all hid together, all five of us, in that room until we got released.
Security came into the room, after clearing the building and told us to go to the lobby. There were so many people gathered there, covered in other people's blood, looking around for their loved ones, seeing if they were there, trying to get ahold of them, frantically calling. There were people on the floor, who looked like they had honestly just passed out because they were so overcome with emotion ... We were on lockdown, so we weren't allowed to leave. We stayed there for what felt like forever, but I think it was about three to four hours. It was around 5 a.m. when we thought, "You know what, we can't stay here anymore." We were losing our minds. Trying to sleep on a casino floor is not working. We were trying to get to our other friends and wanted to make sure everyone was OK. Security told us the streets were still on lockdown and we weren't allowed to leave. But we later snuck out a side door. I don't even know how to explain the feeling of not knowing what to do, but knowing you couldn't do what you were doing.
So we walked through the streets to our hotel [Luxor] which was about a block, a 15-minute walk. It was Armageddon. Cars in the middle of the road with their flashers on. Bloody shoes. Cars that had just driven on the sidewalk and [been] left. It was the eeriest situation I'd ever seen. All streets were blocked off. There were maybe 15 people on the streets of Vegas at that one point, not including cops. It was absolutely chilling. Luckily we got back to our room and all of our friends who we went with were safe.
I called my fiance and said, "I need you to come get me. I can't stay here another day." I had a flight home. I truly didn't want to be on an airplane at that point. I wanted to be in his arms. I wanted to feel safe. And he got in the car and drove to get us.
measures.""]
Now that a week has passed, how do you feel?
I've definitely been breaking down a lot. I'm not saying I'm not crying or upset. I guess my mentality is, I survived. I'm going to move forward. And I'm going to live a life that I'm proud of. I'm not going to let this hold me back, if anything, I'm going to let it push me forward even further.
Do you plan to attend any future festivals?
I definitely know that I will not be attending any festivals in the future. I was supposed to go to Stagecoach this year and I am no longer attending. I had a bachelorette party [planned] in Vegas, which I will be cancelling. I don't know where I feel safe anymore. Any possible thing that I do could be a target to someone. I work at a school, that could be a target. The mall on a Friday night could be a target. There is so much hatred in this world, and it scares me to my core to walk out my front door. This whole event has made me not only scared but also it's turned around into a positive because it's made me damn proud to be an American. I look around and that night and even hearing these stories after, in the face of hatred love overcomes.
In your opinion, do you think there could have been anything done, security-wise or in other ways, to prevent this?
I don't think so when it comes to the festival. It's an open-air festival, a very vulnerable venue. I don't think the security there could have done anything to solve the problem. They checked us when we walked in. It's not like it came from inside the festival. I think when it comes to how he acquired so many guns, that worries me. I don't think anyone who's a citizen needs a fully automatic weapon [or close to it]. I think it's made for mass destruction. I am curious to know how he acquired all of those guns and how he got them up to his room without anyone noticing. Even if he brought them in, it'd be sketchy to have one guest bringing in like a dozen different bags. That's one thing that just sticks out in my mind is how. There's so many questions I still have. I don't know if I'll ever get an answer. My first instinct was terrorist attack. I don't think this was one man getting back at country music lovers. He was trying to have as much destruction as possible, and I think he achieved it.
How do you think this will or should change future festivals?
I get chills at the thought of people feeling safe at future musical festivals. I used to. I used to feel safe there. I used to feel totally free. I don't know if there's a way to do an outdoor festival where everyone feels safe. If someone wants to cause that much damage, they are going to try and most of the time, if that is their goal, they're going to succeed. I don't think there's a way to say it's 100 percent safe, ever.
How are you working through this trauma?
There's multiple ways to recover through a trauma. I do a lot of thinking. I've noticed myself pausing and thinking about it and then I look down at my bracelet and I think, "Yes, this happened I want to move forward."
I have a lot of survivor's guilt. I think, "Why me? Why am I here and they're not?" I don't think that's something I'll ever get over. But I want that to be something that pushes me forward. One one thing I did right when I got back [to Los Angeles County] was I went to Torrance Memorial Hospital. And I donated blood. And I know that when I was in Vegas I had to get out of there. That was my first thought was to get me home. And I now wish I stayed to donate blood there. I know that the blood I donated won't go to victims there, but it will free up blood banks and that was just something for me to feel like I'm helping. So that was one thing that I did that made me feel like I'm at least making a positive influence.
It's very difficult for me to have these memories and these images of people, this woman on the ground with her leg bleeding and this man who had been shot in the head, watching these faces on people who are scarred into my brain and not knowing how to help. I wish I did know how to help. I've taken a CPR class, but I might take a first aid class to better know how to help.
I'm not sleeping through the night. I wake up in sweats, having bad dreams about that night and how it could have gone differently. I have dreams where I confront the shooter or he comes around the corner, and I wake up in a pool of sweat. I'm hoping that as I move forward and as I'm able to talk about it more, that's going to really help me. I'm home. I'm safe. Hopefully I'll get more sleep in the next coming weeks.
I went back to work this week and I will say that was the best part of my week. Kids are therapeutic and all their hugs and innocence is so mind numbing, it makes you forget about everything else in the world. I look down every day at the bracelet on my arm from the festival and I think, "I am so lucky to be here. I'm not going to let this bring down my life."

Quick Link | Resurrecting Teresa Deevy's Lost Irish Voice – NYTimes.com
August 8, 2010 ~ Eoin Purcell
Great piece in the NYT about an unheralded female Irish playwright:
IN the first half of the 1930s Teresa Deevy, a deaf writer from a small city in the southeast of Ireland, was one of the most prolific and acclaimed female playwrights in the world. She was "the most important dramatist writing for the Irish theater," her fellow playwright Lennox Robinson wrote in The Dublin Magazine. Her most famous drama, "Katie Roche" (1936), a complex portrait of a lower-class servant with dreams of grandeur, inspired the critic St. John Ervine to write in the London newspaper The Observer, "Miss Deevy may be a genius."
Then Deevy all but disappeared. The Abbey Theater in Dublin, which had produced six of her plays in seven years, started rejecting her work, and her prolific output slowed down considerably. Today she is rarely mentioned in theater courses; it's difficult to find her plays. "Katie Roche" is occasionally produced, but her other works remain unpublished and ignored.

« Charming voice of violin
Vladimir Makovsky – famous artist »
Banksy – sly prankster
Early in the morning a dreary postman, carrying a fresh issue of The Sun, discovered two kissing cops in the lane. They were drawn, of course, but so touching. Literally within a few hours all the London newspapers' workers came to the god-forgotten district. And the following day the same postman carried The Sun with an editorial: The London police are offended by the new trick of the famous artist Banksy.
The work, most likely, would be destroyed by the officials. However, Banksy's works often die simply because of bad weather, due to municipal repair or from the hands of vandals who either hate Banksy or are just too stupid to understand the meaning of his graffiti. But until the moment when the new creation disappears, it will be replicated 100 times and fulfill its task: it will convey the opinion of the artist to a million of his fans.
This happens every time when the mysterious man wants to speak out. Popular editions – from Vogue to Esquire – have hunted for Banksy for several years, but the cunning prankster has never been caught. He prefers to talk to the world through drawings. Moreover, his creativity is against the law. Nevertheless, with the help of drawings Banksy says a lot. And the drawing is even better than the interview.
Perhaps it is worth noting that everything that is known about Banksy is known from someone's words. It is commonly believed that this guy's name is Robert Banks, but a couple of years ago the British newspaper Daily Mail announced that Banksy is Mr. Robin Gunningham. The photo was also in the article, allegedly recognized by Banksy's countrymen in Bristol. None of the people, somehow connected with Banksy – gallery owners, agents and so on, did not confirm the information. The mystery remained unsolved. According to another version, Banksy is Robert Del Naja, a British musician (Massive Attack group), a singer and a graffiti artist.
It turns out that the more mysterious and at the same time popular the street graffiti artist is, the more the art dealers earn on his works. But there is a question: is he a real man?
His first drawings appeared on the streets in the 1990s. He uses stencil prepared in advance. Banksy draws not only on the walls, but also simply on paper. He paints very well and his works are sold at auctions for a lot of money. In 2006, singer Christina Aguilera bought Banksy's work Queen Victoria as a Lesbian and two of his prints.
Once the artist was able to hang his works in the New York museums. It seems that Banksy commented on his trick: "My works are good enough for the museum, why should I wait?"
Now his graffiti can be seen in the London and Bristol zoos, the Metropolitan Museum, the New York Museum of Modern History, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Tate Gallery in London.
Sometimes Banksy organizes spectacular performances. One of the most famous, called Not Quite Legal, was held in Los Angeles. In the elegantly arranged room there was an elephant painted as the wallpaper. At the entrance guests, among whom there were Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, received cards with the words "There is an elephant in the room. There are problems that we do not talk about." According to observers, Banksy had in mind the problem of poverty.
Astonishing picture
In June 2013, graffiti Slave Labour painted by Banksy in May 2012 was sold at a private auction for more than £ 750,000 (about $ 1.1 million).
By the way, in 2013, Banksy devoted his work P183 R.I.P. to the memory of the deceased Russian street artist Pasha 183.
The record price for his works was established in February 2008: the work Pest Control was sold at an auction for $ 1.9 million.
On October 12, 2013 Banksy arranged a "secret" sale of his works near the Central Park in New York. Passers-by could buy any picture for only $ 60 and they simply did not suspect that those works were original, and the real price of each of them was not less than 30 thousand dollars.

Pete McKee
Pete is a painter and commercial artist from Sheffield, England. He is a cartoonist for the Sheffield Telegraph's sports section. He has exhibited regularly around the north of England. Using bright colors his larger than life, often humorous characters inhabit a world of working men's clubs, bingo halls and family trips to the seaside. Football is also heavily featured in his work although he regularly depicts fans from both halves of the footballing divide in Sheffield: Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday, the team he himself supports. Although his dream was to go to art college he ended up working in a factory. The way he kept his artistic influences was in his band (his current band is a ukulele group under the name of The Everly Pregnant Brothers) and doing logos and stuff of the sort, but at that time his focus was mainly on trying to find a record producer. He started sending drawings to the Fanzine for Sheffield Wednesday and they rang offering him £50. Encouraged by this he started drawing for the Sheffield Telegraph and has continued to do so since. McKee decided to concentrate on his painting in 2004 and began by painting with emulsion on MDF boards. McKee opened his first ever London show, entitled 'Lost Weekends' in 2007 and has also exhibited in Birmingham and New York since then. Subsequently he was commissioned by Acme studios to interpret characters from US TV shows The Simpsons, Family Guy and Futurama. In 2007 McKee was commissioned by Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher to paint him as part of Gibson Guitar's "Guitar Town" show. McKee painted a portrait of the guitarist onto a 10 foot fiberglass guitar which was displayed as part of the open air exhibition on London's South Bank.

Strapped for cash, but want a machine that can still plough through the latest PC games? Here's a happy medium: cheap, powerful laptops. By taking hits to battery life, weight and extra features, it's possible to rack up premium components on a limited budget. Here are our top five cheap yet powerful laptops.
Ultrabook-sized, ultrabook-weight, but not ultrabook-priced, the Toshiba Portege is a very capable and highly portable device. It's got a great battery life (around 6 hours), thanks to the Ivy Bridge Core i5 processor, Solid State Drive and sizable battery. On the other hand, it's pretty small, and Toshiba have cut corners when it comes to the raw materials, leaving the whole device feeling a little flimsy and cheap. User reviews for the product are strong, though. 4/5 stars.
If I read the stats to you: Windows 8, touch-screen, Ivy Bridge i5 processor, integrated graphics, half a terabyte of hard drive space and an HD display, you'd be expecting to pay a fraction over a thousand dollars for the Acer Aspire V5. Handy that the price tag comes in at around two hundred dollars below that, then. It's got a pretty, Apple-inspired keyboard, but that's where the quality stops rather abruptly. You see, in slicing off that extra few hundred dollars Acer were reduced to using lower-grade, plastic-y materials and smaller batteries. As a result, your machine will last for about 4-ish hours, and the whole thing has the unfortunate poise of something from a few good years ago. 3.5/5 stars.
Never a company to run from long, barcode-sounding product titles, Acer do a much nicer, and slightly smaller, version of the V5 for around the same price. The M5 481PT has an all-metal body, which does wonders to surpass the shortcomings of its brother, and a slightly bigger battery. Specs-wise, everything else seems to have remained the same, with the exception of a smaller, 14-inch screen in place of the 15.4-inch display on the V5. Windows 8? Check. Touch-screen? Check. In fact, the only things we're missing here are dedicated graphics – an absolute must if you're planning on playing any of the latest games – and LED backlighting on the display. Frustratingly, downsizing also appears to have affected the display quality quite severely: it's dim, bleed-y and the viewing angles make communal screen-watching impossible. This is a Personal Computer in every sense of the term. 4/5 stars.
The Dell Inspiron 14z is a very difficult machine to rate. For one, it packs a ridiculous amount of high to mid-end hardware into an incredibly small device. A 14-inch frame holds Ivy Bridge processors, 8GB of RAM, a 500GB Hard Disk Drive (HDD, somewhere) and discrete AMD Radeon HD 7570M graphics. It's not chunky, and you can pick it up for under $600 if you hunt around a bit. It really is an amazing piece of kit. Shortfalls? It has them. Battery life is just a tad under what we'd hope at 7 hours, and the plastic shell does not ooze quality in the same way metal-hewn carapaces do. Impressive, but not perfect. 4/5 stars.
A flashy matte orange magnesium-aluminium alloy casing, Bluetooth 4.0, an HD webcam, an 11.6-inch LED-backlit HD display, ultra-low-power Tegra 3 processor and Windows RT pre-installed: the IdeaPad Yoga is teeming with ultra-modern envy-ware making it a cheap yet powerful laptop. It's convertible to a tablet (although the 2.8-pound weight makes that a less appealing prospect), but carries a well-made, well-housed keyboard for physical must-haves. The quality is figuratively seeping from the case, and that's why the IdeaPad Yoga 11 is our favourite. There's a bigger brother – the 11S – on the way, too: so we can only go up from here. 4.5/5 stars.

Q: 'if False' statement in python I saw some of python code from my colleague.
def sample_func():

   # doWork here
   doWork();
   # doWork failed
   if False:
      ...

what does if False mean?

A: As others have said, if False is a way of preventing the code which follows from executing, but is bad practice.
So why is it bad practice?
The condition if False is executed at runtime, so there is a slight overhead compared to a comment.  One reason for using it might be that there are already triple quoted comments inside the block, so commenting might not work easily.
Most editors these days use a colour coding to indicate comments, however they are not smart enough to realise that the code is not executed.  So when reading the code it would not be obvious that the code is bypassed unless you spot the condition.   The very fact that you have had to come to this site to ask what this does illustrates the point!
The practice may have been inherited from a language like C or C++ where a similar pre-processor directive can be given, but this then prevents compilation in those languages (and is still horrible).  The presence of the trailing semi-colon might indicate the author's background in C or C++.

A: if False: means that the code under this condition will not run.
As this condition is always false, the code of this branch is not executed.
I think your colleague just did not want that code to run.
Note that it is quite an ugly way of bypassing this section and there are other ways to do this in a more appropriate way such as commenting (the most obvious one, and it is just a keyboard shortcut away in every editor).

A: That means it will never be executed. Probably this is temporary code to be filled in later or to temporarily not executed.
I would expect at least a TODO / comment why it will not be executed.

Federal authorities have indicted six Chinese nationals for economic espionage, and apprehended the ringleader, a Chinese professor, accusing him of pilfering trade secrets from the computer systems of two American high-tech companies, where he and a co-conspirator once worked. Those trade secrets helped the co-defendants get the Chinese government and a leading university to back their venture, prosecutors say.

Authorities nabbed Hao Zhang on May 16 after his flight landed in Los Angeles from China, and charged him and five other Chinese nationals with economic espionage and theft of trade secrets in a decade-long, insider theft scheme aimed to benefit the Chinese government and a university, the Justice Department disclosed May 19 in a 32-count indictment.
Revelation of the indictments of the six Chinese nationals comes exactly one year after the U.S. charged five Chinese military officers for hacking U.S. companies, incidents federal authorities contend resulted in the shuttering of three American steel plants (see U.S. Charges 5 Chinese with Hacking).
Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Carlin says the Justice Department will continue to "relentlessly identify, pursue and prosecute offenders wherever the evidence leads. ... Economic espionage imposes great costs on American businesses, weakens the global marketplace and ultimately harms U.S. interests worldwide."
Defendants Face Decades in Prison
If convicted, each of the defendants could be sentenced to decades in prison and fined hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, except for Zhang, none of the other defendants in both cases have been arrested.
The U.S. government has complained at the highest levels to the Chinese government about the theft by the Chinese of intellectual property from American companies, an accusation that the Chinese generally dismiss. "No country should be involved in the theft of trade secrets and proprietary information that benefits their commercial sector," Christopher Painter, the U.S. State Department's cyber policy coordinator, said in an interview with Information Security Media Group (see the Rapid Evolution of Cyber Diplomacy). "We're going to continue to press that. That's critically important to us."
Chinese hacking came up at a Senate hearing last week on cyber-diplomacy, in which Painter identified four critical norms of cyber behavior, including nations not conducting or enabling intellectual property theft. In that hearing, James Lewis, a cybersecurity expert at the think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies, said he doubted the Chinese government would agree anytime soon to the norm regarding intellectual property theft. "Having sat in a room for many days with ... Chinese diplomats and military officials, we're not going to get them to agree anytime soon," Lewis said (see Promoting Cyber Norms of Behavior).
Details from Indictment
According to the indictment, Zhang met another defendant, Wei Pang, at the University of Southern California during their doctoral studies in electrical engineering. While at USC, Pang and Zhang conducted research funded by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency on thin-film bulk acoustic resonator technology known as FBAR.
FBAR technology filters incoming and outgoing wireless signals so that users only receives and transmits the specific communications they intended. FBAR technology offers numerous applications for a variety of consumer, military and defense communications technologies.
After earning their doctorates about 10 years ago, both men took jobs as FBAR engineers, Zhang with Skyworks Solutions in Woburn, Mass., and Pang with Avago Technologies in Fort Collins, Colo. The government alleges the stolen trade secrets belong to Skyworks and Avago.
In 2006 and 2007, according to the indictment, Zhang, Pang and other co-conspirators prepared a business plan and began soliciting Chinese universities and others, seeking opportunities to start manufacturing FBAR technology in China. Zhang, Pang and the others established relationships with officials from Tianjin University, one of China's oldest universities that's administered by the Ministry of Education.
Simultaneous Resignations
After Tianjin University agreed to back Pang's and Zhang's venture, the two men continued to work for the American companies. In mid-2009, according to the indictment, Pang and Zhang simultaneously resigned from their American employers and accepted positions as full professors at Tianjin University. Tianjin University later formed a joint venture with Pang, Zhang and the other defendants under the company name ROFS Microsystem, which intended to mass produce FBARs.
According to the indictment, both companies took reasonable measures to keep its intellectual property secret, including the need for users to clear several layers of security to access computers where the trade secrets were stored.
What was stolen? The indictment lists recipes, source code, specifications, presentations, design layouts and other documents marked as confidential and proprietary from the victim companies. Prosecutors contend the stolen trade secrets enabled Tianjin University to construct and equip a state-of-the-art FBAR fabrication facility, to open ROFS Microsystems, a joint venture located in the state-sponsored Tianjin Economic Development Area, and to obtain contracts for providing FBARs to commercial and military entities.
According to the indictment, Avago and its predecessor companies spent some $50 million over two decades researching and developing its FBAR technology. "Complex foreign-government sponsored schemes, such as the activity identified here, inflict irreversible damage to the economy of the United States and undercut our national security," says FBI Special Agent in Charge David Johnson. "The FBI is committed to rooting out industrial espionage that puts U.S. companies at a disadvantage in the global market."
Besides Zhang, 36, and Pang, 35, the other defendants are Jinping Chen, 41, a professor at Tianjin University and a ROFS Microsystems board member; Huisui Zhang, 34, who studied with Pang and Zhang at USC; Chong Zhou, 26, a Tianjin University graduate student and design engineer at ROFS Microsystem who studied under Pang and Zhang; and Zhao Gang, 39, general manager of ROFS Microsystems.

Business|Why Turkey's Crisis Feels Familiar for Emerging Markets: It's the Debt
Why Turkey's Crisis Feels Familiar for Emerging Markets: It's the Debt
The first phase of Istanbul's new airport is scheduled to open in October. Foreign investment has fueled growth in Turkey and other emerging markets for nearly a decade.CreditCreditLefteris Pitarakis/Associated Press
By Landon Thomas Jr.
For nearly 10 years now, the flood of cash from global central banks has financed shopping malls in Istanbul, booming cities in China and 100-year bonds in Argentina. Today, many of the malls are empty, property developers in China are riddled with debt, and Argentina has just submitted to a bailout from the International Monetary Fund.
Now, the borrowing binge that fueled rapid growth in emerging markets and piled up returns for their investors is looking like a problem.
Financial experts worry that the turmoil in Turkey, which for the better part of a year has been contained, will spread, following the path of other emerging market meltdowns like those in Mexico in 1994 and Asia in 1997.
"The risk of contagion is pretty high," said Robert Subbaraman, an emerging market economist at Nomura in Singapore.
The crisis in Turkey has been made worse by a diplomatic dispute with the United States and the mercurial moods and questionable policy positions of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but the combination of heavy international borrowing and a fall in the national currency is the same scenario that could undermine other emerging economies.
"Turkey is a symptom of the growing challenges for emerging markets," said Mr. Subbaraman. "Due to super-low interest rates, investors have been on the hunt for yield — until this year. Now they will be blindsided by the risks."
In a research note that Mr. Subbaraman published on Monday, he pointed to South Africa, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Chile and Mexico as having the most vulnerable economies. South Africa, for example, has significant levels of dollar debt and a sizable current account deficit.
A country runs a current account deficit if it takes in more money — in investments and trade — from foreigners than it sends to other countries. That leaves the country at the mercy of international investors to keep it afloat financially, and those investors could find other markets more enticing — particularly when emerging markets see their currencies lose value. That is precisely what forced Argentina to go to the I.M.F., the first major emerging market to take such a step during this period of uncertainty. Pakistan may soon have to forge its own deal with the fund for similar reasons.
Mr. Subbaraman said the buildup in cheap dollar credit could ultimately threaten South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and even China, whose currency, the renminbi, weakened further against the dollar this week. But analysts have long believed that these economies are strong enough to withstand a traditional contagion attack. By his own account, Mr. Subbaraman has one of the more gloomy views on the future of these markets — earlier this year he published a report titled "Enjoy the Party, but Stay Close to the Door."
On Wednesday, the lira rebounded to 6 against the dollar from its recent low of 7.2, helped by steps the Turkish government took this week to limit sales of lira for dollars, and a promise by the emir of Qatar to invest $15 billion in Turkey.
Regulators also took an unusual step to help troubled banks, suspending the requirement that banks book losses on the value of their plummeting securities.
Global markets were shakier, though. Emerging market currencies, especially the South African rand, the Russian ruble and the Mexican peso, were down sharply against the dollar. European banks with exposure to Turkey, like BBVA in Spain, UniCredit in Italy and BNP Paribas in France sold off as well.
Predicting an emerging market crisis — and the extent to which such a blowup will trigger a wider financial rout — can be hazardous. In 2014, during the so-called Taper Tantrum, investors took out more than a trillion dollars from the likes of Brazil and India, fearing an eventual rise in interest rates in the United States. Stock markets in the United States and Europe shuddered, then resumed their upward march. Those who fled eventually returned to these markets, lured by the promise of rich returns in what continued to be a low-interest-rate world.
And in the 21 years since Thailand's economy went bust — the last genuine case of emerging market contagion — these countries have all dramatically reformed their economies. They have accumulated cash cushions to deploy in case of an assault on their currencies and aggressively fought inflation by raising interest rates. Central bankers, finance ministers and even politicians have become seasoned pros in terms of responding to the effect of capital rushing in and out of their economies. Brazil and Mexico, for example, are two countries that have, through a combination improved policies and proactive steps to fight inflation, drawn investor plaudits.
Jan Dehn, the head of research at Ashmore Investment Management, a large investor in emerging market bonds, contends that the chance the virus in Turkey spreads widely is minimal. He said that in the past decade, most of the large developing markets have established robust local institutions, such as pension funds, that have become the main buyers of corporate and government debt — in their own currencies. That means when fretting foreigners sell their bonds, domestic institutions can step in and buy them, preventing a selling frenzy from becoming something worse.
"This development has broken the link between fickle outflows and economic catastrophe," Mr. Dehn said. "Before, a country could collapse if there were outflows — even if it did nothing wrong. That is not true anymore."
Perhaps the most arresting statistic in support of the view that Turkey is the canary in the coal mine is the vast amount of cheap dollar-based loans that have accumulated worldwide since global central banks began their rescue operations in early 2009. Countries from Nigeria to Tajikistan have aggressively sought — and received — cash from yield-starved mutual funds.
According to the Bank for International Settlements, a forum for global central banks, the total amount of dollar-based loans has jumped from $5.8 trillion in the first quarter of 2009 to $11.4 trillion today. Of that, $3.7 trillion has gone to emerging markets, more than doubling during that period.
Via loans by American, European and Japanese banks or through mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, credit has been easy and very much available for every variety of borrower, not least those erecting malls in Turkey, skyscrapers in China or taking out century loans in now-bust Argentina.
Analysts at the B.I.S., especially its top economist, Hyun Song Shin, have been warning about this phenomenon for years. Their main point is this: When interest rates rise in the United States, increasing the value of the dollar, foreign corporations and governments will have trouble repaying these debts in their depreciating national currencies — precisely what is happening in Turkey right now.
According to research by Sebnem Kalemli-Ozcan, an economist at the University of Maryland, much of this debt has gone to companies that do not have dollar revenues. These companies, many of which are in the construction or real estate sector, are the ones that are in the most danger.
Take Turkey, she said. As long ago as 2011, 70 percent of the debt held by the Turkish construction industry was in foreign currency. That figure, she contends, has surely risen since then, as the country has experienced a real estate boom.
"This corporate debt issue is bad," she said. "It is going to blow up at some point."
Even if the other emerging markets do not succumb to the pressures Turkey is experiencing, there is another route for trouble to spread: European banks, many of which have been enthusiastic lenders to Turkish corporations and financial institutions.
Shweta Singh, an analyst at TS Lombard, a London research house, points out that the European banks with the most significant exposure to Turkey — BBVA, BNP Paribas and UniCredit — are among the weakest in the eurozone in terms of their equity cushions.
During the Greek debt crisis, the panic began over concerns that large European banks holding dodgy Greek bonds would suffer bruising losses. And that's what happened.
Should such banks experience the same problem with Turkish loans, "the ripple effect could be tremendous," Ms. Singh said.

Leopold Herzog von Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Wiesenburg (* 12. Januar 1674 in Brieg, Herzogtum Brieg; † 4. März 1744 in Wien) war kaiserlicher Rat in Wien.

Leben
Leopold war der dritte und letzte Herzog des von seinem Großvater Philipp Ludwig (1620–1689) gestifteten Hauses Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Wiesenburg der oldenburgischen Linie Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg. Seine Eltern waren Friedrich (1651–1724) und Charlotte, geborene Prinzessin von Liegnitz-Brieg-Wohlau (1652–1707).

Seit 1721 gehörte ihm Schloss Wetzdorf, das seine Tante Herzogin Magdalena Sophie Eleonora von Schleswig-Holstein (1664–1720), Äbtissin in Quedlinburg, ihm vererbt hatte. Seit 1723 war er auch Erbherr zu Rohrbach. Am 25. Juni 1723 erwarb er von seinem Vater für 110.000 Taler Schloss Wiesenburg mit den zugehörigen Ländereien. Bereits am 24. Januar 1725 verkaufte er die Herrschaft für 126.400 Taler an Friedrich August I. von Sachsen. Er begab sich daraufhin nach Wien, wo er kaiserlicher Rat am Hof Karls VI. wurde. Ab dem Jahr 1735 war er Herr auf den böhmischen Landgütern Groß Meseritsch, Radostin und Zhorz.

Leopold konvertierte zum katholischen Glauben und vermählte sich am 3. Mai 1715 mit Prinzessin Maria Elisabeth von Liechtenstein (1683–1744), Tochter des Fürsten Hans Adam I. von und zu Liechtenstein und der Prinzessin Edmunda Maria von Dietrichstein-Nikolsburg. Aus der Ehe sind fünf Töchter hervorgegangen:
 Theresa Maria Anna (1713–1745), ⚭ 1735 Johann Aloys I. Fürst zu Oettingen-Oettingen und Oettingen-Spielberg (1707–1780)
 Maria Eleonora Katharna (1715–1760), ⚭ 1731 Giuseppe Gonzaga Herzog von Guastalla (1690–1746).
 Maria Gabriela Felicitas (1716–1798), ⚭ 1735 Karl Friedrich Landgraf zu Fürstenberg (1714–1744)
 Maria Karolina Antonina (1718–1765), ⚭ 1736 Karl Thomas zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort (1714–1789), kaiserlicher Feldmarschall.
 Maria Antonina Hedwig (1721–1735)

Die Linie Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Wiesenburg ist mit ihm im Mannesstamm erloschen. Er war Träger des Ordens vom Goldenen Vlies und wurde im Stephansdom in Wien beigesetzt.

Located in a historic home, this design hotel combines a boutique feel with all the trappings of a five-star property.
In sharp contrast to many other Barcelona hotels, this property is located in a futuristic modern building and has 91 simple, functional guest rooms.
This small luxury hotel in the Gothic Quarter hotel has just 28 rooms and blends ancient and modern seamlessly.
This palatial hotel, open since 1918 on Passeig del Gràcia, is simultaneously luxurious and personal.
Just 300 feet from the beach, the Hotel Arts feels more like a resort than a city hotel, with terraced gardens, a pool, and some of Barcelona's largest guest rooms.
Located in the former headquarters of the Cotton Textile Foundation, the Cotton House Hotel offers a glimpse into the lives of the 19th-century Catalan bourgeoisie.
Located on the edge of the Gothic Quarter, this hotel housed in a historical mid-1800s building by Francesc Daniel Molina feels more like a New York loft than a turn of the century mansion.

Last academic year we had several requests from parents for some information about online and technology safety.
Many parents felt like they were out of touch with technology and what it can do, as well as what was available on the internet.
In order to remedy this, myself and another member of staff set up a parent association evening. I have included some of what we have covered. Several of the slides have been removed as they link directly to files on the school server and would be inaccessibile.

Purpose: To go past your self—perception as weak, frail, and afraid—which comes from the denial of your Identity—and remember that you are the holy Son of God Himself. This will release you and will save the world from suffering.
There are no specific instructions for the longer practice periods, just a strong focus on the use of these lines: "I am the holy Son of God Himself ["Himself," by the way, refers to God]. I cannot suffer, cannot be in pain; I cannot suffer loss, nor fail to do all that salvation asks." By saying and meaning these lines, you reverse your denial of your Identity. You accept the power and glory that is your true nature. You typically see the world as your jailer, filled with enemies massed against you. Yet this role is not inherent in the world. Rather, your denial of your Identity turns the world into this in order to support your false identity. Your denial imprisons the world. Thus, when you reverse that denial (through the words of today's practice), you set the world free. By unveiling your glory as God's Son, you release those in chains, those who see no mercy in the world, those who suffer pain, and even those who die. This is your motivation to practice today—their release and your release.
Beyond devoting some time to repeating these words, with as much certainty and sincerity as possible, the rest of the practice period is up to you—to your inspiration and your guidance from the Holy Spirit. You can't go wrong with meditation, especially since nine of the last eleven lessons have been devoted to it.
How we see ourselves determines how we see the world. It may not be obvious at first, but if we see ourselves as other than the holy Son of God, we are "giving to the world the role of jailer to the Son of God" (1:3). If we see ourselves as separate, isolated beings, we are inevitably cast in the role of victim. We become a mote of dust in a hurricane, whirled about by the universe without any consideration for our wellbeing (3:2).
The world then takes on an appearance that reflects this mistaken identity we have assumed. The whole world witnesses to our frailty; all our experience here seems to testify that death is certain, and loss inevitable (2:5-6). That is what projection does. The world becomes our jailer, our victimizer. If we deny our Identity as the holy Son of God, as God created us, we make the world into a place of chaos, evil, sin, and death. We then resent the world for it, although we have laid this role on the world! As I look at the world today, let me ask myself, "What have I done that this should be my world?" And let me answer myself, "I have denied my Identity as God's Son." Thus, to accept my Identity is to forgive the world for what it did not do to me.
Rectify that single mistake, and we have changed the world we see. The world cannot truly be as we see it, because Identity cannot truly be denied. Our imagined identity as not-the-Son-of-God is no more than a silly game, with no real effects and no real consequences. If we can begin to accept our Identity, all illusions that derive from this error disappear (4:1-6).
Again we are asked to "practice" recognizing our Identity in the holy instant. For a brief time, we "let today's idea find a place among [our] thoughts" (5:1). In that holy instant we rise far above the world (5:1) into a place of safety, where we recognize the impossibility of the world's victimizing us, because we see our own eternal, invulnerable nature. And from that place of safety we return to the world and set it free (5:2). Notice the similarity of this description to the earlier one in Lesson 184 (paragraph 10). In the holy instant we accept Atonement for ourselves, we recognize our true Identity. And then we return to bring the message of this shared Identity to all the world, that it may be free with us.
The realization of our Identity is enough to free us from every problem forever, and to free the world with us. To cling to our little, individual identity is to perpetuate "a devastating image of yourself walking the world in terror, with the world twisting in agony because your fears have laid the mark of death upon its heart" (6:5). Do I really want to go on playing this silly, tragic game? Do I want to continue to hold the world to task because it has not met my needs, but has denied me what is my right? Or will I recognize today that I have done this, I have denied my Self and blamed the world for it?
In the latter part of this lesson it speaks in glowing terms of "the Son of God" Who "has come in glory to redeem the lost" (8:3). Who is this "Son of God"? It is not speaking of Jesus. It is speaking of you and me. It appeals to us to realize that our glory is the light that saves the world, and asks us not to withhold it (10:5-6). It asks us to see the suffering in the world (not to brush over it, saying, "It's only an illusion!"), and to find it in our hearts to respond to it (10:7-8).
How can we release our brothers from suffering? By accepting our own release, by finding our own Identity (11:1-5).

We report on the surface enhanced resonant Raman scattering (SERRS) in hybrid MoSe2@Au plasmonic-excitonic nanostructures, focusing on the situation where the localized surface plasmon resonance of Au nanodisks is finely tuned to the exciton absorption of monolayer MoSe2. Using a resonant excitation, we investigate the SERRS in MoSe2@Au and the resonant Raman scattering (RRS) in a MoSe2@SiO2 reference. Both optical responses are compared to the non-resonant Raman scattering signal, thus providing an estimate of the relative contributions from the localized surface plasmons and the confined excitons to the Raman scattering enhancement. We determine a SERRS/RRS enhancement factor exceeding one order of magnitude. Furthermore, using numerical simulations, we explore the optical near-field properties of the hybrid MoSe2@Au nanostructure and investigate the SERRS efficiency dependence on the nanodisk surface morphology and on the excitation wavelength. We demonstrate that a photothermal effect, due to the resonant plasmonic pumping of electron-hole pairs into the MoSe2 layer, and the surface roughness of the metallic nanostructures are the main limiting factors of the SERRS efficiency.

Fig. 1 (a) Bright-field optical image of MoSe2 monolayer transferred onto Au nanodisks. (b) AFM image recorded from the region marked by the white square in panel (a).
Fig. 2 (a) Bright-field optical image of a MoSe2 monolayer covering the Au nanodisks (region i) and the SiO2 substrate (region ii). (b) Optical absorbance spectra in the regions MoSe2@Au (blue), MoSe2@SiO2 (red), and on bare Au nanodisks (black). The vertical dashed lines indicate the non-resonant (532 nm) and resonant (785 nm) laser wavelengths used to excite the Raman scattering.
Fig. 3 (a) Energy diagram of the SERRS process mediated by the coupled plasmon-exciton states. Elsp and EA refer to the LSP and A-exciton energies, respectively. Einc represents the incident energy, Ed is the Raman diffused energy, and ħωvib stands for the MoSe2 phonon energy. (b) SERRS (black) and RRS (red) spectra of MoSe2@Au and MoSe2@SiO2, respectively, excited at 785 nm wavelength (vertical dashed line). The PL spectrum obtained at 532 nm is also shown (blue). The sharp cut-off around 790 nm is due to the spectral edge of the filter used for rejection of the Rayleigh scattering. (c) Off-resonance Raman spectra of MoSe2@Au (black) and MoSe2@SiO2 (red) excited at 532 nm. (d) SERRS and RRS spectra, shown in panel (b), corrected from the PL background.
Fig. 4 Enhancement factors of the Raman scattering intensities of the A'1 and E' modes mapped in the squared delimited region shown in Fig. 2, for non-resonant 532 nm (a,b) and resonant 785 nm (c,d) excitations.
Fig. 5 Enhancement factor (a,b) and wavelength (c,d) of the photoluminescence emission mapped inside the region shown in Fig. 2. The photoluminescence was excited out of resonance (532 nm; a,c) and in resonance (785 nm; b,d) with the coupled plasmon-exciton absorption peak.
Fig. 6 (a,b) SERRS/PL spectra of MoSe2@Au (a) and RRS/PL spectra of MoSe2@SiO2 (b), excited at 785 nm with laser intensity 2.4 × 104 W/cm2 (black), 2.0 × 105 W/cm2 (red), and 6.6 × 105 W/cm2 (green). (c,d) Spectra after extraction of the PL signal and zoomed in the spectral region of A'1 (c) and E' (d) vibration modes. The dashed lines highlight the shift of the Raman peaks.
Fig. 7 (a,b) Model system used in the DDA simulations. The disks are 140 nm in diameter and separated by 45 nm gap. The dimer is supported by a SiO2 (5 nm)/Ti (2 nm) substrate. (c,d) Cross-section and plane views of the SERRS gain within the MoSe2 layer induced for 785 nm excitation wavelength and at the Raman shift of the A'1 vibration mode for smooth (c) and rough (d) disk surfaces. The excitation field is polarized along the dimer axis.
