NIKON, DON’T YOU SEE I’M BURNING? On Laura Goldstein’s awesome camera
In which I talk about reading Laura Goldstein's awesome camera and Laura talks about making awesome camera
Divya: Reading awesome camera
Tamil Nadu, India. 21 May 1991. I am 8 years old and waking up to my mother whispering in my ear: “I’m going to tell you something. When you wake up everyone will be talking about this. Rajiv Gandhi has been assassinated. You don’t have to wake up.”
While stopping to hug children on his campaign trail, a young girl, Thenmozhi Rajaratnam, had walked up to Gandhi with 700 grams of RDX explosives snug under her dress.
For days after that, the photographic aftermath of the assassination sprawled on miles of inky front-pages, in The Hindu and Dinakaran, damp with splayed bodies vibrating in neon-purple at the edges or blackened by the RGB rush or grainy and scattered, abandoned in black and white. Flip-flops everywhere. Necks ending where they shouldn’t. I held the front-page up to my face, one inch away from my eyes. When no one was looking, I would try to peer into the holes in the bodies. They found the camera with the negatives capturing the blast which killed the photographer. He was survived by his photographs.
Pages and pages of bodies fallen like limp confetti and colored in leaky ribbons of soy inks tinted with prussian blue (iron, carbon, nitrogen), cadmium yellow (cadmium and sulfur), and chrome green (chromium, oxygen). Titanium white. Painted humans. Pain. A headline about a headless nation.
Months later, these newspapers would be used to line kitchen shelves and altars; to package dried-anchovies and sugar; to wrap fried bananas and crisp tapioca fritters. Vegetable oil glossed the bodies and darkened the dead. These images were then placed in picnic baskets, grocery bags, and school bags—with the history books.
This is how the photojournalistic image travels. The camera and its catastrophic trail. The photojournalistic image first makes sure that we are always at some stranger’s funeral, and then, that we are always asleep at the wake.
I’ve been reading Laura Goldstein’s awesome camera, which is coming out from Ara Shirinyan’s incomparable and essential press, Make Now. Make Now has made me, now and before, pay attention to what I did not yet know would be great poetry—and then I did because it was made now. The press, which has published a diverse and challenging library—Kenneth Goldsmith, Yedda Morrison, Steve Zultanski, Christine Wertheim, Matias Viegner, Rob Fitterman, Joseph Mosconi, among some excellent others—always seems to know one fraction of a second before anyone else does. Make Now has had a preternatural shutter speed for this capture, and with Laura’s book, and the soon-to-be EXTRIGUE from Shiv Kotecha, it continues its tradition of editorial WTFing for everyone’s benefit.
Laura’s awesome camera is cored around the question of how "the media" mediates our witnessing of the suffering of strangers. The camera, like a tiny high-tech coffin, seems to trap both the corpse and the viewer into an uncomfortable intimacy that only one can survive.
From awesome camera:
Please don’t escape into the horizon. There’s hidden sediment. We’re watching you in a movie and you seem to have no lines. Others dress up better and crowd the camera. Close-ups show a flawlessness that can’t be replicated under head-to-toe coverings. I want to call out to you what I remember but my species doesn’t have access to those memories. Closed shutters in different colors. If you think it’s hot here, try wearing a mask in the desert! Pause. Please kill a chicken quickly. The blood drains heavily. Do not misconstrue. You may be tempted to keep ice on hand but instead drink at lukewarm. A summary erases the pulse under a map of colors. The rain makes it dark. It’s not quite the right time to rewind right now. It’s gotten dark. I asked around. Elemental motifs create natural barriers. I can hear. The heart dilates and traffic rushes through long puddles bending under the moon, their edges in the sand. We build ourselves into a box, a small opening at one end. The camera is awesome. are you?
The photographic image—that wily emblem of survival—thrives where there is stillness and death, and Laura’s book seems to know this very well. Laura is no stranger to the question of survival’s temporality—her first book, Loaded Arc, from Trembling Pillow, runnels through two narratives of floods—that of Hurricane Katrina and the flood of Genesis. Emily Dickinson claims that there is no Frigate like a book, and in Laura’s case, one might say there is no Arc like this book—both the harbinger of the end and the only vehicle of survival for the chosen.
The camera’s history has marched in tandem with death. In the nineteenth century, post-mortem photography, particularly of infants and children, conspired with the slow exposure time of the daguerreotype and silver-plate photography. This accounts for why children, when photographed alive, were for so long just blurry whirls with silver smudges for eyes, pale chiffon for hands, and gauze for faces. The longer the body remains still, the clearer its image, the more versimilitudinous its capture. The perfect image finds its resting place in the corpse: “We build ourselves into a box, a small opening at one end.”
From awesome camera:
Fingers standing straight up. Picture it. A crowd in bits. Across the calm world, small battles, people playing. The news continues to view the source and burn the details to ash. For a few fraudulent months, the debate followed the election. A year later, an article came out with images. The news neutralized it. Here, life is as young as the next generation coming. On the surface a language replicates itself for a republic, under the ashes the other is whispered, spreading waves through a community. The leaders are stronger than ever. Some say they control the newspapers. Policies of prices and prisons, security services and streets. On Friday they reported receiving a text message on their cellphones, “Dear Citizen”, it said, “you have been tricked by the media.”
As I read Laura’s awesome camera, I have an uncanny feeling that these poems are ekphrastics of distraction. This book offers a productive contrast to T.J Clark’s The Sight of Death, which itself is an anodyne to the implications of distraction and partial witnessing. Clark’s project is an extensive, durational meditation on Nicolas Poussin’s Landscape with a Man Killed by a Snake, which hangs in the Getty Museum (National Gallery, London). Whereas Clark’s deviational, meandering, and utterly unorthodox exegesis of Poussin revels in the variegations of attention and cognition in the morphology of light and affect, Laura’s rapid-fire and rhythmic lines seem to attend thousands of photojournalistic images simultaneously, calling out what they share, where they diverge, and what they cost. The spectacle of the auctioneer’s gallery has finally met its other in Golgotha; the gavel in the guillotine.
Of the thousands of frames shot at any given scene of disaster, one or two become the singular surrogates of the event’s cultural capital. These photographs become indexes of public consciousness, golden effigies to our gasps or shaking heads: too bad, what a shame, oh my god—Nick Ut’s Pulitzer prize winning photograph of Phan Thị Kim Phúc (“napalm girl”); Kevin Carter’s Pulitzer prize winning photograph of the vulture hovering near the Sudanese child; Stanley Forman’s Pulitzer prize winning photograph of Diana Bryant and her goddaughter Tiare Jones falling from the collapsed fire-escape on Marlborough street. These photographs that make sure we can never unsee also insist on the immobility of the event and its developments—Kim Phúc’s body, later saved by Christianity; her hand holding a pencil in an air-conditioned room where she takes the Canadian Citizenship Exam (“perfect score”); Jones’ small child-body falling on Byrant’s, her fall cushioned by borrowed sinew and bone before landing on the concrete below. The awesome camera, indeed.
In the months after the attacks on the WTC, Susan Sontag observed that a large majority of direct witnesses described what they had seen as “unreal,” “surreal,” and “like a movie.” On the 10th anniversary of the attacks, Mayor Michael Bloomberg reminded us that we could “never unsee what happened here.” We had “seen” a reality that remained “unreal” to us. This suggests that witnessing is, at its core, a struggle between (something like) reality and its mediated interpretation. The lens is cloudy, the aperture fickle, the image recurrent and inscrutable, every time. Every pixel of a photograph used as evidence in witnessing acts is structurally fraught with the fantasy of survival: it is, quite literally, the smallest addressable point to which we devote our ocular attention. Laura’s book, awesome camera, has reminded me that witnessing, however, is always caught in the cross-hairs of the ocular and the mnemonic: what you see is not what you get. What you see is what you forget. And thus see over and over. The iconic image of witnessing is a tactical analogue for the forgetfulness of the disaster— retinal post-it notes that blink breakable bodies blink bulleted lists of victims blink.
This is a closed set. Nikon, don’t you see I am burning?
Laura: Making awesome camera
I started working on awesome camera after I got back from the 95 cent skool in Berkeley California this was a seminar that was conducted by Juliana Spahr and Joshua Clover in maybe 2011 the summer of 2011 and the participants applied to be there and then were chosen by lottery to actually attend because of the limited space it was a really amazing experience we met every morning and afternoon to talk about politics and poetry and action and poetry what kind of poetry we should be writing or what should we be thinking about it what kind actions we should be taking as poets in order to make serious change in our culture which we talked about as being increasingly capitalist in a way that really damages culture damages people's rights and freedoms and as poets we discussed you know what our role is in addressing that or possibly changing that and it was a diverse group in terms of ethnic backgrounds and educational backgrounds and age and when I got back from the seminar I was really excited to push those ideas forward in my writing and I wrote the poem awesome camera which is the title piece for the book and the occasion of this poem was an article that was published in the New York Times commemorating one year after the Iranian protests and there was a large picture of a protester with a green bandanna over their face holding up two fingers and I wanted to take this as an opportunity to consider how we receive information about the world that might construct our political consciousnesses and thinking about how manipulated that might be obviously for better or for worse and I wanted my poem to really be a site of consideration of those issues for the reader so I was doing a lot of you know the questioning and considering and I wanted to open up a space for myself and also for a reader and then the rest of the project followed suit I write series of poems as my practice and I wanted to find different occasions or opportunities to really think through how we develop our political views so the rest of the manuscript sifts into that idea and the title of awesome camera is supposed to be a reference to know ourselves in this idea of awesome it has you know positive connotation colloquially but I think that literally it's really about how mind blowing it is you know to be a being with consciousness in the world and looking out at all of it with you know this ability of perception that is constantly shifting and constantly you're being influenced and being manipulated so the awesome camera is both you and the media and also ourselves you know as McLuhan said media is extensions of ourselves and I've been working with that idea for many years now and in and a few different book length projects from different angles

KARMA AND THE ART OF BUTTER CHICKEN by Monica Bhide
This book that is reminiscent of a Bollywood Movie (I could almost imagine the dance sequences!) is a fun light read, in spite of its underlying serious message reminding us of the inordinate number of people in the world who go hungry and how we well-fed ones treat them.
Yes, you’ll have to suspend your disbelief from time to time, but the interesting twist at very beginning with “taste of childhood” and the silliness of reality TV show, as well as the descriptions of the actual kitchen make it well worth reading the book. (continue reading )

The biggest lawsuit to arise over the sinking of the Italian cruise liner, the Costa Concordia, was launched in a New York court this week. The suit seeks $400 million from Carnival Corp. and Costa Crociere for "serious negligence."
Thirty-two people died in the Jan. 13 tragedy when the ship ran aground off the Italian island of Giglio in the Tuscan Bay. The suit is being launched partly on behalf of the family of a Hungarian musician who died in the tragedy, Sandor Feher. Mr. Feher was known to have been helping others onto lifeboats that night and somehow did not manage to get to safety himself. His body is one of 30 that have been recovered.
The Wall Street Journal's European edition noted the suit also represents all other Hungarians on the ship that night; there were 10 others, all of whom survived. Lawyer Peter Ronai of Ronai and Ronai LLP said that they are not buying the official reasons given for the ship's demise.
“The corporation is trying to paint the picture that the captain is the one responsible, to get away with the accident,” Mr. Ronai told the Wall Street Journal. “These people died because the corporation didn’t follow safety procedures.”
Captain Francesco Schettino awaits trial
The ship's captain, Francesco Schettino, awaits his trial on multiple charges, including causing a shipwreck and abandoning his ship before all passengers were evacuated. He has denied being fully at fault and claims that he was not even in control of the bridge when the ship hit the reef. However, he is being accused of ordering the ship close to shore to 'salute' a retired former colleague who lives on the island.
Currently the ship, which did not fully sink but listed to starboard, with most of the starboard side now submerged, is being refloated by Titan Salvage of the U.S. and Micoperi of Italy. They expect to have the Costa Concordia refloated by January and intend to tow her to an as yet undecided Italian port to be salvaged.
Mr. Ronai explained why the sum being sought in the lawsuit was so large. “Why are we going for so much money? This is the only way to punish these big firms, to hit them where it hurts.”

Israel Peace Week 2012
How to effectively counter Israeli Apartheid Week on campus.
Next week, Israel-haters will once again launch the misinformed and misinforming movement known as “Israeli Apartheid Week” (IAW) in universities and communities across the world. The good news is that while IAW claims to be growing, its execution on North American campuses is limited to a handful, and even in these places, the organizers do not reach very many undecided students.
However, another student-led movement about Israel will include participants on 75 campuses across North America, and is poised to impact a far larger and more diverse audience. That movement is “Israel Peace Week,” (IPW) a student-conceived grassroots educational campaign now in its third year. Originally created as a preemptive response to IAW, IPW has developed into a proactive and engaging campaign that is effective regardless of whether there is anti-Israel activity on a specific campus.
IPW revolves around a simple, yet often understated message: Israel wants peace and has demonstrated its willingness to make painful sacrifices for peace. The campaign also outlines options for peace, existential threats to the Jewish state, and the values and accomplishments of a thriving Israeli democracy in an otherwise despotic region. IPW organizers employ methods such as interactive displays in the center of campus, cultivating relationships with non-Jewish groups on campus, writing in the campus newspaper, and innovative social media campaigns in order to educate as many of their peers as possible.
In stark contrast, the main thrust of this year’s IAW is to generate support for the “Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions” movement, a campaign that calls on universities and individuals to divest from companies that do business in Israel, boycott the sale of goods produced in West Bank settlements, and boycott Israeli universities and professors.
By singling Israel out for censure and advocating for a one-state solution, BDS is not a simply a movement to criticize Israeli policy, but an effort to delegitimize the state itself.
A recent study conducted by The Israel Project and the American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise indicates that most university students, while knowing little about the issues, are not sympathetic to the idea of boycotting Israel. Furthermore, when the goals of the BDS movement are explained, opposition to the idea increases significantly.
The arguments that both sides must accept responsibility for creating peace, and that there are more constructive ways to express concern about a government’s policies – say dialog, for instance – than boycotting, resonate strongly with students.
Even before this study, the students who created IPW two years ago intuited that their peers could be engaged with messages about peace and how to achieve it. By propagating a solution-oriented message, IPW lends wider understanding to the efforts Israel has made for peace, and the reality that terror and incitement must be eradicated to bring about a true solution. It is an opportunity for pro-Israel students to discuss difficult topics in a resonant manner.
The contrast between solution-seeking and boycott is sadly mirrored in the Middle East today, of course. While Israel maintains a willingness to dialog with the Palestinian Authority without preconditions, last September the PA sought to circumvent a negotiated settlement through its unilateral statehood bid (UDI). Support for UDI also did not gain traction on campus, while campaigns about Israel’s efforts for a negotiated peace were better received.
As the PA enters a unity government with Hamas, which openly calls for Israel’s destruction, IPW organizers must communicate that this is yet another obstacle to peace.
As an aside, while the BDS movement may not currently have wide-stream appeal on campus, it is gaining academic legitimacy, most alarmingly at Ivy League institutions like Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania, both hosting high-level anti- Israel conferences this spring. While in no way endorsed by the universities themselves, these conferences are championed by prominent academics on each campus. At Pennsylvania political science chair Ian Lustick, a well-known critic of Israel, expressed support for the conference while stopping just shy of directly endorsing BDS. At Harvard, conference organizers are planning appearances by law professor Duncan Kennedy and Kennedy School of Government professor Stephen Walt.
Cloaked as explorations for “alternative peaceful solutions,” these conferences are championed by prominent academics on each campus. The TIP/AICE data also happen to indicate that a whopping 83 percent of students who have taken a Middle Eastern studies course believed their professors to be “unbiased.”
This perception, when considered in light of growing academic delegitimization of Israel, has serious long-term implications.
Taking both the success of IPW and the widening legitimacy of BDS into account, the pro-Israel community must think critically about how to maintain support for Israel among tomorrow’s leaders. It certainly seems that the messages of peace and equality are more persuasive than boycotts and sanctions. But how do we ensure that Israel’s supporters are more influential that its detractors? This is a question that must be considered as new battlegrounds arise.
In the mean time, let’s commend the courageous and innovative young adults making the case for Israel on the front lines.

Is France Going National-Socialist?
Postmodern Nazis, to be sure: no brown shirts. But Nazis nevertheless -- nazis who relish in anti-Jewish paranoia and are eager to spread it everywhere.
Radical politics usually develop when classic politics fail. According to an Ipsos/Steria poll published on January 21 by Le Monde, 8% of the French -- only 8%! -- trust the political parties. Only 23% trust their National Assembly representatives. Trade unions do not fare much better: 31%. Nor does the judiciary, at 46%.
Real confidence starts only with local powers: 63% of the French trust their mayors. The increase culminates with such last-resort players as the police and the army, credited, respectively, with a 73% and a 79% confidence rate.
The Fifth Republic established by Charles de Gaulle in 1958, France’s current government, was long perceived as a stable and efficient democracy. That was largely a fallacy.
To start with, the 1958 constitution has provided for a hypertrophied but bicephalic executive: the popularly elected president is very powerful, but so is the prime minister who answers to the parliamentary majority. There were latent conflicts between them when they belonged to the same political party; open conflicts erupted when they did not.
However, the real failure of the Fifth Republic is that it has been subverted by the noblesse d’etat (“state nobility”), to use a terminology coined by sociologist Pierre Bourdieu.. This group consists of the senior civil service, which supplanted the political class rapidly and merged with the economic elite as well; the European Union Commission in Brussels, a non-elected multinational super-government that, for at least three décades, has carried more weight on many issues than the national government of France; and the ever-growing non-Western immigrant communities who more often than not tend to ignore French traditional culture and values -- including in political matters -- and to superimpose their own.
As long as the economy was booming, the welfare benefits growing, and the legal working hours shrinking (it went down to 35 hours per week with five weeks vacation; and eight legal holidays easily turned into extended weekends), most citizens did not pay attention.
Things changed in the 1990s when the French economy was not able to deliver anymore. Or, to be more accurate, when it split between a declining and deindustrialized domestic economy and an aggressive and highly performing globalized economy.
The working class was largely destroyed. Millions of jobs were lost, and wages -- for those who kept a job -- were almost frozen. But welfare benefits kept growing. At the other end, the upper class and the upper middle class grew much richer from their globalized activities, but invested less in France proper and managed to escape taxation as much as possible, either legally or illegally. As for the middle class, from middle executives to small-scale entrepreneurs to propertied senior citizens, it was mercilessly overtaxed and impoverished. Somebody had to pay for the mess.
From then on, the French gradually lost confidence in the political class and in both the country’s and Europe’s political frameworks. In 2005, an angry France derailed the so-called “European constitutional treaty” in a referendum. It then elected the conservative Nicolas Sarkozy in 2007 on the assumption that he would curb the “state nobility,” tame immigration, lower taxes, and revive the domestic economy. Sarkozy took some steps, but at the end of the day disappointed his constituency on almost all accounts. In 2012, the pendulum switched to the socialist François Hollande, who promised lots of things to his own supporters but eventually had to admit that French statism was bankrupt.
No wonder that radical fringe parties (the right-wing National Front, the left-wing Green party and Left Front) are attempting now to supplant the moderate main parties (the conservative UMP, the socialist PS, and the centrist UDI).
And even they are threatened by grassroots movements of all sorts.

The main event of this Sunday’s NFL schedule has had roster questions surrounding both teams all week, questions that won’t be completely answered until kickoff.
Hopes of another Super Bowl were quickly dashed as the Green Bay Packers dispatched the Cowboys 34-31 in the divisional round, and left Dallas pondering what exactly happened.
The club’s 61-29 mark at the break has been propelled to no one’s surprise by a pitching staff that has lived up to the preseason accolades and predictions. The Dodgers’ 3.15 staff ERA leads all of baseball, while the squad’s nine shutouts and 240 walks allowed pace the National League at the break.
As exciting as the two electric sensations have been so far this year, they are still a couple of young kids making their first trips throughout the league.
Bradley, who averaged 7.1 points and 5.1 rebounds this past year, was going to be the inside focal point for the North Carolina attack this upcoming season. Now Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams will have to make due with a batch of new faces.
Berry’s return to the UNC fold (along with fellow senior Theo Pinson) gives the Tar Heels veteran leadership in an era where such experience is void in college basketball.
The 2017 schedule looks to be a daunting trip through the league for the Cowboys, one that will either galvanize the team for the playoffs, or send them back to the drawing board.
If the Los Angeles Dodgers want to return to the World Series for the first time since 1988, now is
North Carolina basketball has accomplished a lot during the regular season, but their year will start to be defined this week in New York.

Under the age of 25, GenZers are digital natives who can shop, order takeout, and find a romantic partner, all with a few swipes of the finger. On the other hand, Baby Boomers, who are over the age of 57, have a shakier grasp on technology and are more likely to struggle with basic online tasks like product returns, per a Nfinite study. What makes these two generations so different?
For many GenZers, it’s typical to spend about three hours a day using social media platforms. Conversely, 48 percent of Baby Boomers spend between 10 minutes and one hour on social media per day, and 24 percent either spend less than 10 minutes on social media per day or don’t have social media at all, according to a study by McKinsey & Co.
The chasm between Baby Boomers and GenZers lies not only in a drastic difference in social media engagement rates but also in underlying anxieties from the older generation. Almost half — 48 percent — of Boomers say they are concerned about how companies use their personal data or how their government tracks them online. In comparison, only 21 percent of U.S. teens are very or extremely concerned about the amount of personal information social media companies might have about them, per the Pew Research Center.
“In the time where we were brought up, it was a completely different paradigm,” says Diane Pacom, Emerita Professor of Sociology at the University of Ottawa. “We didn’t trust anonymous crowds or anonymous groups. For Baby Boomers [social media] is something you use, but always with this attitude of not being one hundred percent secure about the security of what you’re disseminating to the public and how it’s going to be interpreted. The rapport of trust is not as strong as with the younger generations.”
In addition, privacy-conscious elders also harbor anxiety around the adaptability and accessibility of today’s technology. More than two-thirds — 68 percent — of respondents over 50 do not believe that today’s technology is designed with their age in mind, per an AARP study.
Read More: What Is a Social Media Cleanse?
Of Americans, 88 percent believe social media is the partial or complete culprit behind the uptick in depression among teenagers, according to a YouGov poll. When it comes to the mental health effects of social media, it is unsurprising, given the lower consumption rates, that Baby Boomers are reaping fewer psychological consequences from app usage.
GenZers are over three times as likely to report a negative body image as a result of social media consumption than Baby Boomers (25 percent versus 7 percent), per McKinsey & Co. However, across generations, more and more Americans are taking social media fasts for health reasons, with 72 percent of Baby Boomers and 44 percent of GenZers engaging in extended breaks from social technology via a YouGov poll.
Baby Boomers and Media Consumption
Baby Boomers grew up during a time when television was the primary entertainment medium, and they continue to have a strong attachment to traditional television. As of 2022, Baby Boomers are still more likely to tune into a television show than engage with social media, with 93 percent of respondents tuning into television shows at least once a week, according to Statista.
In fact, 59 percent of Baby Boomers watch over 10 hours of television a week as opposed to only 17 percent of GenZers, per an Ipsos poll. Because color television shows began broadcasting in 1953, it seems logical that Baby Boomers would lean into a nostalgic technology that grounds them in the wonder and familiarity of their childhood days.
“Television is more comfortable to us [Baby Boomers] than other mass media offshoots,” says Pacom. “It was the love affair of my generation. For us, and I’m speaking from my own experience, it became our comfort zone and a way for us to socialize. It was the way we were getting our information. And then our kids and grandchildren chose to follow the evolution of how knowledge and information was transmitted, which is unsurprising.”

The Kernun UTM boot manager is located on the system disk. It is installed during the initialization of the system performed by the standalone installer. Depending on the partitioning scheme, there is either ZFS or LEGACY (UFS) boot manager.
The Kernun GUI or the command line bootmgr(8) utility can be used to change partition labels, enable and disable booting from individual partitions, and set whether the default boot partition is fixed, or is always changed to the last booted partition.
There is a default partition selected for boot, which boots
automatically. It is also possible to select another partition during the
boot sequence. The boot manager displays the menu as shown in Figure 2.1, “ZFS boot manager screen 1”. Press option
7 to select the
boot partition. Another menu is displayed (see Figure 2.2, “ZFS boot manager screen 1”).
In this menu, press the number that corresponds to the system to be booted. For
example, press option
5<Enter> to boot the Kernun 3.10.6.h3.
The boot manager displays labels of up to three system
partitions and allows selection of the partition to boot from by pressing
F1 Kernun 3.0 2008/10/01 07:36 (030000h00.200809241501.i386) F2 Kernun 3.0 2008/10/18 05:21 (030000h00.200810170852.i386) F3 Kernun 3.0.1 2008/11/15 07:22 (030001h00.200811142135.i386) Default: F2
If no option is selected, the default one is chosen automatically after a timeout.
Anybody with physical access to the Kernun UTM console may select a system partition to boot from, boot a different kernel or kernel modules, or boot to the single user mode and access the system without a password. If the system console is not physically secure, the following actions can be done to protect the system against unauthorized access:
Disable boot device selection in the BIOS (for example, by setting a BIOS password).
Enable only the desired system partition in the boot manager (using bootmgr(8)).
Add line “
/boot.config. This prevents interrupting the
boot process in the stages one and two.
printf -- '-n\n' > /boot.config
Protect the loader with a password by adding a password line to
/boot/loader.conf. Make the file readable only
SECRET"' >> /boot/loader.conf
chmod go-rw /boot/loader.conf
Force verification of the root password as a condition for
entering the single user mode. Locate the line beginning with

Rinspeed Snap concept debuting at 2018 Consumer Electronics Show
Swiss automotive think tank Rinspeed is returning to the Consumer Electronics Show next year with a concept that demonstrates a possible future where the chassis and body of a car can go their separate ways. The result is that cars could also offer meaningful immobile use.
Rinspeed’s Snap concept, which will debut at the 2018 CES next January, exists in a world where instead of owning a complete car, an individual could simply own the body. This body could then double as a small office, lounge or even a place to sleep.
A trip across town would require a request to a self-driving chassis which would connect with the body and then transport it to the owner’s destination. We could imagine selecting a sporty or off-road-capable chassis for the weekend and something efficient for the weekly commute.
There are benefits to the environment, too. Instead of having to scrap the whole car once the mechanicals get worn out or become obsolete, in the case of the Snap only the chassis would need to be scrapped. Or better yet, the chassis could be refurbished and enhanced with the latest technologies. Meanwhile, the body could remain in use for decades.
Rinspeed is constantly trying to predict the automotive landscape of the future. In recent years the company has bet big on self-driving technology, and concepts like the Oasis, XchangE, Budii and Etos have been the result. As you may have already surmised, Rinspeed’s concepts aren’t intended for production. Instead, they are developed in partnership with automotive suppliers which use them as promotional tools for future products and technologies.
We look forward to learning more about the Rinspeed Snap concept at the 2018 CES. The show runs from January 7-12.

Last weekend, 55 Metropolitan Life representatives from 24 countries have worked for a day on the site of Habitat for Humanity Romania in the 5th district of Bucharest, to support the rehabilitation and energy efficiency of the Secondary School no.125.
More than 300 children and 50 teachers will start the new school year in a healthier and more welcoming environment. The initiative to renovate and work on the energy efficiency of this school is part of the project called “A new school, a better future”, developed by Habitat for Humanity Romania.
The 55 Metropolitan Life representatives join the 100 volunteers from abroad and from the Romanian companies who have brought their contribution during the summer holiday to the works and to turning the Secondary School no.125 in a healthy and welcoming environment for children and teachers. Being located in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Bucharest, the Secondary School no.125 was seriously damaged, being only one of the Romanian schools that need to be renovated. The rehabilitation of the schools is an important step of the social inclusion of the children from disadvantaged families.
“Most of the children from the School no.125 come from a vulnerable environment, so that Metropolitan Life is excited to join Habitat for Humanity and to offer a better future to the pupils and their families, as well as to their community”, stated Dirk Ostijn, CEO at MetLife Europe.
“School is the second home for our children. It’s the place where they load with hopes, dreams and plans for the future. We are glad to host Metropolitan Life volunteers on our site in Bucharest and we are grateful to them for helping us to offer a proper environment to the educational process for 300 children coming from financially disadvantaged families”, stated Greg Foster, Area Vice President Europe Middle East and Africa.
Metropolitan Life and MetLife Foundation donated USD 500,000 for CSR projects, developed in 2015 and continued in 2016 and 2017. Moreover, in 2016 Metropolitan Life invested USD 200,000 in CSR projects from local funds. Projects supported by Metropolitan Life are focused on social and financial inclusion, including on financial education of children and young people from various social categories.


A Datawarehousing and Data Integration initiative should be seen as a journey and not as an ad-hoc initiative, as it generally involves heterogeneous systems and a large amount of data. The project or program thus requires that the scope and direction are clearly set from the beginning and that a solid foundation is defined in order to guarantee that focus wont be lost along the way.
So even before to start the initial project of that journey it is fundamental to define a roadmap which will drive the project as well as the architecture. This initial investment will pay back during the entire duration of the project by ensuring that deliverables and their benefits are maximized.
The IBM Information Server solution offers a wide range of possibilities and tools to fulfill your requirements. element61, with its in depth knowledge of the IBM Information Server suite, can help you to define a tailor made roadmap for your organization in order to get the most benefits from your investment and to reduce as much as possible the time to value after the start of your initiative.

Poker is an international gambling game, played with a deck of cards. The aim of the game is to build a pot of money and win it by having the highest ranked hand of cards. It can be played with any number of players, and can be played in a casino or at home.
The game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards. Players place chips in a pot and bet until someone calls. If no one else calls, the winner takes the pot.
Each player is dealt five cards. The first card is face up, and the rest are dealt face down. Cards are arranged in order of their rank, starting with the Ace. Occasionally, a wild card is used. This card, if it is placed in a hand, can take the place of another card.
The lowest possible hand is 7-5-4-3-2. In a tie, the winner is the player with the highest unmatched fifth card.
After the initial bet, each player may bet again, or call. If no one raises, the player who last made a bet is said to fold.
When the first betting interval has finished, the dealer shuffles the cards. They are then distributed to the players in turn. During this period, the dealer may offer to shuffle the cards again.
During the third round, each active player is given one card face up. The player with the highest card has the privilege of making the first bet.

The final day of Round of 16 action took us to settle up groups F and G, with Paraguay taking on surprise Japan, and Spain and Portugal trading blows yet again. First, Paraguay's 4-3-3 squad led by Benitez, Barrios and Santa Cruz took on Japan's 4-5-1 attack headed by Keisuke Honda. Japan has miraculously avoided injuries and bookings and have ran the table so far with their starting eleven, while La Albirroja only have one booking suspension to deal with in Carcares out, Bonet was his replacement. Early on the game broke out into near fistfights as both teams expressed an ardent desire for physical play and the referee didn't seem eager to blow the whistle at all. That devolved into midfield detente' as both sides had difficulty issues penetrating the back line with 6 up, 4 back. Both teams led sorties to probe the other's defense and were rewarded with a couple of break chances, but the defending and goalkeeping were what got both these teams into this round, and it held up during the first half. Few shots, a couple corners and no bookings...a boring but safe match heading into the break. In the second half, both teams saw scoring opportunities and went towards more physical play, the Samurai Blue finally picking up a few bookings, and Paraguay's defense upped their game with a couple of solid counter-strikes. Both teams subbed in strikers for backs in order to generate offense and fought valiantly, but nothing could find the strings. We went to overtime for only the second time in this Cup. Paraguay exploded off the blocks to try to do Japan in with a couple of excellent chances, but keeper Kawashima blocked everything thrown at him. Likewise, Honda's free kick was blocked out by Villar and in the second OT period, both sides went for broke but couldn't come up with anything left in the reserves to try to break the keepers. We went to penalty shots to decide it, and Japan's Komano missed the third shot off the bar while Paraguay nailed all 5, giving them the win in what has to be a heartbreaker for the Samurai Blue. Paraguay was the better team for most of that match however, and Japan has nothing to be ashamed of after their run.
But that brought us to Spain and Portugal in the battle for the Iberian Peninsula, and these ancient foes squared off yet again, La Furia Roja rolling out a 4-4-2 attack fronted by the dangerous Fernando Torres and David Villa, while Portugal's Shield Select went on the offensive with a 4-3-3 formation that featured strikers Cristiano Ronaldo, Almeida, and Simao. Portugal's plan was to go on the assault and ding Spain early and they did get a few chances to do just that, meanwhile Spain was winning the set piece battle only to take ill-advised shots. Both teams were playing trebuchet ball rather than driving in, and nothing was going anywhere near box. While the early minutes belonged to Spain, Portugal came on very strong in the end of the first half with some brutal attacking and narrowly missed chances...but missed all the same. In the second half Portugal went on the attack again and made a number of brilliant near misses that looked to drain the fury out of La Furia Roja. Meanwhile Spain looked ragged and blown out, so when both teams subbed in at 58' for fresh strikers, Danny's arrival for Spain (replacing the totally ineffective Almeida) was just the spark they needed to get back on offense. It was David Villa off the Xavi pass at 63' that found the net as La Furia Roja came storming back. Portugal managed to stanch the bleeding but the frustration boiled over as La Ablirroja's Ricardo Costa picked up a red card for a thrown elbow at the end of regulation and in the 3 minutes of stoppage time there was nothing doing. Spain wins 1-0 and will face Paraguay as now only eight teams remain, and they will clash this weekend.

Weary police arrested more than 300 antiwar protesters in a series of isolated face-offs here Friday, one day after authorities arrested more than 1,400 in demonstrations that shut down parts of the financial district and temporarily closed the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
The arrests in San Francisco's second day of protests roughly equaled the number made across the rest of the nation Friday.
In West Los Angeles, 150 demonstrators kicked at cars and blocked traffic on Santa Monica Boulevard.
Baltimore protestors dropped to the ground in a "die-in" and 30 were arrested.
In Columbus, Ohio, demonstrators brought shaving cream, toothpaste and other supplies for the soldiers -- among the hundreds nationwide supporting of the war.
Authorities expected more action today at rallies scheduled from coast to coast.
Police in San Francisco were kept on edge into Friday night by the activists' unpredictable maneuvers and by the earlier discovery of a dozen Molotov cocktails in a downtown alley.
The FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were investigating the devices, a bag of rags and lighter fluid discovered outside the Fairmont Hotel.
"We're taking the findings very seriously," said San Francisco police spokesman Dewayne Tully. "What we don't know is how many more are out there. And how many could be used."
While protesters congratulated themselves for bringing attention to their antiwar cause, many wondered if their helter-skelter forays were driving away potential supporters.
Participants in Thursday's massive "first day" antiwar demonstration said they were pleased at how 10,000 activists were able to shut down dozens of streets and halt work at a major defense contractor.
But Mayor Willie Brown reacted angrily to the demonstrators for turning a protest into a "riot."
"I'm really disappointed that the quality and level of protest that has been the hallmark of this city is being depreciated by anarchists and opportunists," Brown said Friday. "San Francisco is famous for being incredibly tolerant, even for these kinds of nuts and screwballs."
Brown estimated that the city will spend more than $500,000 a day to cope with protesters, most of whom he said don't even live in San Francisco. On Thursday, he criticized the demonstrators for using hammers to break the windows of police cars, and Friday he said the discovery of old liquor bottles, each filled with gasoline and a wick, raised a new level of concern.
"I immediately assumed somebody wanted to do some terrorist stuff," Brown said. "I think even some protesters have become aghast over what they're associated with."
Ed Sarpolus, an independent political pollster in Lansing, Mich., agreed that the activists run the risk of squandering public sympathy. "The problem with the demonstrations, as with the [World Trade Organization] riots a few years back, is the fact they crossed the line. Once you get into violent attacks, then the public turns away from you."
Peverill Squire, a political science professor at the University of Iowa, said the rest of America might write off the actions as the work of California extremists, adding that pictures of protesters he's seen on TV "really looked more like a Deadhead reunion than a mass movement."
Squire added: "It probably doesn't suggest to most people this is a really broad-based movement."
Some organizers worried that moderates might be alienated by violent demonstrations.
"The most obvious negative," said Jason Mark, a spokesman for San Francisco-based Global Exchange, "is that it is written off as, 'That's just San Francisco.' "
Protest organizer Leda Dederich said, despite a commitment to nonviolence, "in every movement in the last 50 years, there have always been folks who come in with violent tendencies."
Dederich suggested that the homemade devices found Friday might be "the work of agents provocateurs implanted by the government as a way to discredit the movement."
Police spokesman Tully said that, athough the streets of the city were "comparatively quiet, eerily quiet," all of the department's 2,250 officers remained on the streets. Police are "tired and they're frustrated," Tully said. "They're working 12-hour shifts playing a cat-and-mouse game with protesters."
Police pledged to continue more aggressive tactics. On Friday, they collared a group of protesters who tried to enter the San Francisco offices of Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Hours earlier, they had arrested 60 people outside the offices of a government contractor.
Instead of racing down the street, activists paraded down sidewalks, even pausing for traffic lights. Many protesters said they did not want to chance arrest and having to spend the weekend in custody.
Times staff writer Mark Z. Barabak contributed to this report.


A Hong Kong representative, Ricky Chan, has won the lamest robot contest – called the Hebocon World Championships – in Japan. Another from Hong Kong, Kit Man, also won the NicoTsuku award for his creativity at the championships.
Chan, of FU productions, built a robot called the “Robot-Controlled Controller Robot,” which consists of two components – a controller that looks like a tiger robot, and a robot that looks like a controller.
When the host asked what the most useless aspect of the robot was, Chan said that he spent more time building the machine which built the case of the controller-like robot – and failing in the process – than building the robot itself.
Robots compete on a board and the winner is the robot that pushes its opponents off the board.
Chan said as he was receiving his prize that “at an earlier Hebocon in Hong Kong, I got second place… this is the first time I’ve gotten first place. But before that I thought that getting second place was like getting first place, because it’s not about winning – it’s about trying to do your best to lose with your low tech robot,” he said.
Hong Kong representative Kit Man won the NicoTsuku award with his table-flipping robot.
He won because his robot flipped itself over when it was trying to flip the desk.
The championships can be viewed here.

Introducing Ghost Grid [RP]
[Japan-Inspired Sci-Fi Martial Arts Role Play.]
Premium Benefit: Brain Network Interface (BNI) fight tool.
The twenty-year-long Imperial Civil War, a great war between two clans; Teiwaku and Koromiru, was soon coming to an end. The Koromiru Clan had gotten their hands on the Ghost Grid, a system that allowed the creation of artificial soldiers known as the Fuzhei Forces.
Their goal was simple; to gain total control over the most powerful weapon in the world, the Honsenzu Network.
After all, whoever controlled the network, controlled the whole world.

How did I develop this addiction for the ModSquadChallenge of using 3 Colors and much less the colors of black, brown and cream plus a tag!!! The only thing I can say is this is my third and final card in the challenge (I’m normally a one card gal) and I’m totally out of cream (Ivory) cardstock so I must stop!!
Cardstock used: GKD’s Black, Ivory and Charcoal Brown. I found some brown and cream patterned paper from GKD and used the Decorative Tag Set Die. The sentiment is from Sugar Pea’s Stamp of Approval set and was stamped in Memento’s Rich Cocoa and the YOU on the tag was stamped in GKD Ivory pigment ink. It was very light so I coated it in some glossy accents. The tag was cut in my ivory and inlaid with a smaller tag die in black. The cattails die is unknown and was cut out in the charcoal brown cardstock and added some wink of stella for a little sparkle. The window is from My Favorite Things Square Peek Window die. I made my own shakers by coating black and ivory cardstock in glossy accents, adding black glitter to the black letting dry and after cleaning up my glitter mess punched them out with a paper punch. I was pleasantly surprised when it worked and can thank Bonnie for inspiring me to use what is on hand.
ModSquadChallenge – 3 Colors –I wasn’t able to upload to the site because it does not accept more than three entries from the same site. I believe it counts my 2 and Lisa’s 1 card. In the future, I’ll only make one entry so others have a chance to join in. Good to know!
Thanks for looking and thanks for a provoking challenge, Gail Scott.

Rain events have put Illinois farmers squarely behind the eight ball.
As University of Illinois weed specialist Aaron Hager notes in a recent issue of The Bulletin, many are running into a time crunch with corn planting and applying soil-residual herbicides. If corn has not yet emerged, Hager recommends spraying the residual herbicide as planned.
But, what if the corn has emerged and the soil-residual herbicide has not been applied? Can the application proceed as planned, or will a different product need to be selected? The answer depends on the respective herbicide.
Hager says most, but not all, soil residual herbicides can be applied after corn has emerged.
"Products such as Balance Pro, Fierce, Prequel, Sharpen and Verdict must be applied before corn begins to emerge; applications of these products to emerged corn can result in significant corn injury," he notes. "Be cautious about applying a soil-residual herbicide in UAN carrier if corn has emerged as this can increase the potential for corn injury."
Several soil-residual herbicides can control small, emerged summer annual weeds. Additional management procedures (such as the addition of an herbicide that has postemergence activity) will be needed for those products that lack the ability to control emerged weeds. In all situations, Hager advises reading the respective product label for tankmix and additive recommendations.
"Labels usually indicate a maximum corn growth stage beyond which applications should not occur," he notes. "These growth stages can range from as early as two leaf collars to as late as 40-inch tall corn, so be sure to consult the respective product labels. Products containing atrazine must be applied before corn exceeds 12-inches tall, although the labels of some atrazine-containing products specify a smaller corn height."

Products: Indicative Seals
Fast Seal SP
Versatile Pull-Tight Seal with Metal Locking
A flexible pull-tight seal, the Fast Seal SP features a metal locking mechanism that provides higher security and sealing capabilities.
The Fast Seal SP is user-friendly and easy to apply and remove for small sealing facilities e.g. cassettes for ATM machines and money boxes on which it is widely utilised. The heat staking technology used in manufacturing the Fast Seal SP ensures the seal is also highly tamper-evident.
1. The Fast Seal SP is etched with permanent laser marking. Laser marking offers the highest level of security as it cannot be removed and replaced.
2. Heat staking technology is used to permanently fix the cap to the Fast Seal SP. Heat staking is too strong to be cut or forced open without leaving clear evidence of tampering.
3. Metal clip locking provides greater pull strength to the thin and flexible strap.
4. Colour coding is made possible by using combinations of white-based seals and different coloured caps.

NEW PORT RICHEY — Home alone with her baby Thursday night, deputies say Molly Mary Flynn started drinking.
She put the 22-month-old girl down for the night and went out.
She walked downstairs to Lonzalo's, a neighborhood pizzeria and bar, a Pasco sheriff's report states, where she panhandled patio patrons for their libations.
She had no luck with the barkeep, either.
Flynn told them all about her daughter asleep upstairs.
Someone called authorities.
A deputy arrived and caught a whiff of alcohol on Flynn, the report states.
The deputy asked about Flynn's baby, who she said was "fine."
The deputy asked to see the baby, and Flynn led the way through the apartment's unlocked door.
They found the baby asleep in a bedroom.
The deputy asked how long Flynn, 38, had been out, the report states. She guessed an hour. According to the deputy's watch, it had been two.
Flynn, of 3014 Town Ave., was charged with neglect and obstruction. She remained in the Land O'Lakes jail Friday in lieu of $5,150 bail.

A non-profit organisation has been formed bringing regulatory technology industry heavyweights together in a bid to support global RegTech.
The International RegTech Association (IRTA) is sponsored and funded by its members and aims to ease and accelerate the evolution of industry through integration and sharing of knowledge.
The newly appointed global chair of the ITRA, Subas Roy, explained the organisation believes in the “globally integrated, hybrid ecosystem, and supports the premise that the whole is very much greater than the sum of the parts”.
The executive board consists of CEOs and founders of RegTech firms, as well as RegTech leaders from PwC and FIS.
It will operate three advisory councils working in areas of research and development, innovation and adoption for regulators and also the wider market.
“For the first time in over 40 years, innovation in RegTech is taking precedence over innovation in new Financial Services markets and products.
“This reflects the fundamental, enabling role of RegTech, and how it is already helping to shape and determine the future of Financial Services, including its competitive advantage,” Roy added.

Available in the region’s wine cellars and in supermarkets
Extending across the whole of the Gironde departement, Bordeaux A.O.C. wines come from a patchwork of lands. These lands give all the wines produced in the area under the Bordeaux appellation different characteristics. Thus, depending on the blend of grape varieties, gravel soils (small stones) will result in an elegant wine rich in tannins, clay-limestone soils will produce a well-rounded, powerful wine, and alluvial soils will result in a full-bodied wine with a strong character. While different as a result of their medleys and the richness of their blends of grape varieties, all these wines have the characteristics that are common to the Bordeaux wines as they are from the same climatic area, are the fruit of similar cultivation methods and are the heirs of age-old traditions.
Once winegrowers have matured the juice from their vines, it is then the turn of skilled traders to buy and concoct various Bordeaux A.O.C. wines, purchased in bulk, to offer consumers a balanced product with all the markers that make Bordeaux one of the most celebrated wines in the world.
Historically, the Bordeaux area produced a lot of white wines that were particularly appreciated by the English and above all the Dutch who used them for distillation. At the turn of the 18th century, there were ten times more white wines, most often sweet whit’s, than red wines. Nowadays, this trend has reversed.
However, given the improvements made to the plant material (grape varieties, rootstocks) and wine maturation techniques, the efforts made by winegrowers and changing consumer tastes, these white wines from the same land as the red wines have been reclaiming their former glory and winning over wine fans once again. These blended wines produced according to the winegrower’s desires, choices and savoir-faire can be dry, sweet or very sweet.
While Bordeaux Clairet dates back to the Middle Ages, the Bordeaux ros‚ was produced more recently. From the same grape varieties as the Bordeaux red wines, they are wines that deserve to be consumed when young and should not be consumed after two to three years.
After a brief maceration period to obtain a light colour, rosé wines are matured just like white wines and rapidly bottled.
The Clairet wines, meanwhile, undergo a longer period of maceration to give them a more pronounced colour and more tannins: some are even put into barrels for a short period of time.
The French decree of 3rd April 1990 awarded the Crémant de Bordeaux an A.O.C. Prepared with duly approved white or rosé Bordeaux wines, sometimes with red must matured in white wines, due to their low volumes produced, the Crémant wines unfairly fail to have the same brand image amongst consumers as other A.O.C. sparkling wines produced in the same manner according to the ‘traditional method’, i.e. with a second fermentation period in bottles after the addition of the tirage liquor. The Crémant de Bordeaux has found favour with consumers who enjoy attractive, fresh fruity wines.

Avionics makers highlighted a number of intriguing technologies for helicopters at last month’s Heli-Expo in Orlando, Fla., none more buzz-worthy than the synthetic-vision system (SVS) concepts unveiled by Thales and Honeywell.
Elliott Aviation of Moline, Ill., has received an FAA STC RVSM group approval for the Beechjet 400 and MU-300 Diamond. The RVSM solution uses the Beechjet/Diamond’s native Honeywell avionics suite. A Honeywell AZ-252 advanced air-data computer, AM-250 barometric altimeter, BA-250 barometric altimeter display and AL-800 altitude preselector/alerter replace the existing non-compliant Honeywell air data/altimetry.
The upcoming second annual edition of the Latin American Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (LABACE) will be an important test of whether the event has long-term growth potential.
Pilatus Aircraft last month announced that the warranty period for all Honeywell avionics installed in new Pilatus PC-12s has been extended from two to three years. The new warranty benefit is applicable starting with PC-12 S/N 482 and covers standard Honeywell equipment, including the EFIS 40 displays; KFC 325 autopilot; KLN 90B GPS; RDR 2000 weather radar; and KC 165A navcom.
Honeywell’s small heavy fuel engine (SHFE), in development since 2003, “will change the game for turboshaft engines in the future,” predicted Ron Rich, the company’s director of advanced aerospace technology.
Honeywell has been exploring synthetic-vision system (SVS) technology for the helicopter cockpit, but the display concept will bear little resemblance to the system the company unveiled last summer for fixed-wing applications.
Following last year’s NTSB recommendation that all turbine-powered helicopters be equipped with terrain awareness and warning systems (TAWS), Air Logistics has decided to upgrade its newer medium and heavy twin-engine helicopters with Honeywell enhanced ground proximity warning systems (EGPWS).
Honeywell released its ninth annual turbine-powered civil helicopter purchase outlook yesterday and, according to the 10-page report, the only direction for the helicopter industry is up.
Eclipse Aviation and Aspen Avionics last month settled a patent dispute over the AT300 hazard awareness display. Under the settlement agreement, Eclipse dropped a competing patent claim in exchange for 1 percent of Aspen common stock. The VLJ maker had contended that Aspen cofounders Peter Lyons and Jeff Bethel developed the AT300 product while they worked at Eclipse and, therefore, the patent for the product should belong to Eclipse.
Landmark Aviation last month joined the ranks of installation centers that are busy turning around upgraded avionics systems for operators of Gulfstream IIIs and Falcon 50s. Landmark workers in Springfield, Mo., installed a Honeywell Primus Epic CDS/R display retrofit in a customer’s GIII, adding terrain and runway awareness while keeping the airplane’s original FMS and Pro Line II radios.
