Experts typically classify nuclear and radiological terrorism into four threat categories. First, a non-state actor such as a terrorist or criminal or a group of terrorists or criminals could acquire a nuclear weapon from an arsenal of a nuclear-armed state. The acquisition could occur through theft because the weapon was unsecured or through a gift because a custodian wants the non-state actor to have the weapon, or one or more officials of that state wants to transfer one or more weapons to the non-state actor. Conceivably, the non-state actor could blackmail nuclear custodians by making credible threats to the custodians themselves or their loved ones.
Making an Improvised Nuclear Device
The second nuclear threat is that a non-state actor could acquire sufficient fissile material such as highly enriched uranium (HEU) or plutonium to build an improvised nuclear device (IND). An IND could have as much explosive yield as the bombs that destroyed the cores of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Nuclear security experts agree that HEU poses the greatest danger because of the relative ease of using it to make a “gun-type” IND, similar to the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. In contrast, plutonium could only be used in the more technically challenging “implosion-type” bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki.

To investigate the effect of modafinil 200 mg on the performance of a cohort of healthy male doctors after 1 night of supervised sleep deprivation.
Sleep-deprived and fatigued doctors pose a safety risk to themselves and their patients. Yet, because of the around-the-clock nature of medical practice, doctors frequently care for patients after periods of extended wakefulness or during circadian troughs. Studies suggest that a group of substances may be capable of safely and effectively reversing the effects of fatigue. However, little work has been done to investigate their role within our profession.
We conducted a parallel, double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled study to investigate the effect of pharmacological enhancement on performance doctors. Thirty-nine healthy male resident doctors received either lactose placebo (n = 19) or modafinil 200 mg (n = 20) after 1 night of sleep deprivation. A selection of CANTAB neuropsychological tests was used to assess higher cognitive function. Clinical psychomotor performance was assessed using the Minimally Invasive Surgical Trainer Virtual Reality. Assessments were carried out between 6.00 AM and approximately 8.00 AM.
Modafinil improved performance on tests of higher cognitive function; participants in the modafinil group worked more efficiently when solving working memory (F 1,38 = 5.24, P = 0.028) and planning (F 1,38 = 4.34, P = 0.04) problems, were less-impulsive decision makers (F 1,37 = 6.76, P = 0.01), and were more able to flexibly redirect their attention (F 1,38 = 4.64, P = 0.038). In contrast, no improvement was seen in tests of clinical psychomotor performance.
Our results suggest that fatigued doctors might benefit from pharmacological enhancement in situations that require efficient information processing, flexible thinking, and decision making under time pressure. However, no improvement is likely to be seen in the performance of basic procedural tasks.
Sleep deprivation impairs human performance in a dose-response fashion and is linked with poor clinical decision-making and medical error. In this randomized controlled study, we show that pharmacological enhancement is effective in improving the cognitive function of fatigued doctors, but basic procedural skills remain unchanged.

Two demonstrations at SPS/IPC/Drives Fair in Germany late November showed how Hilscher Edge Gateways are supporting Industrie 4.0 asset management strategies from major IT service providers:
• Automated smart quality management system, developed by IBM Business Partner X-INTEGRATE: This is an extended form of predictive maintenance that identifies potential quality problems in order to plan maintenance, spot assembly errors or even halt production processes automatically. Sensors record data from machines and systems and the key data are evaluated locally within the Hilscher netIOT Edge Gateway. The system uploads results to the IBM Cloud where they are processed further by IBM's SPSS statistics solution. By continuous comparison of the calculated wear and tear data and the actual situation, a mathematical model is constantly refined, so quality predictions are improved with increasing operations. A demonstration model was shown on the Hilscher booth.
• A native interface linking the Hilscher netIOT Edge Gateway to the asset structures of the SAP Asset Intelligence Network was shown on the SAP Booth. A device description interpreter in the Edge Gateway ensures the identification of all devices found by the topology recognition feature developed by Hilscher. The objective of the joint SAP and Hilscher development was to enable the digitalization of an authorized OT assets infrastructure and the recognition of deviations between the actual and the digitalized infrastructure in the SAP AIN. Faulty or unauthorized electronic components can be identified and exchanged at any time. Additional trend analysis enables proactive maintenance management instead of the usual reactive maintenance measures.

Pope Leo XII, born Annibale Francesco Clemente Melchiorre Girolamo Nicola Sermattei della Genga) was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 28 September 1823 to his death in 1829.
Leo XII was in ill health from the time of his election to the papacy to his death less than 6 years later, although he was noted for enduring pain well. He was a deeply conservative ruler, who enforced many controversial laws, including one forbidding Jews to own property. Papal finances were also poor, even though he reduced taxes. As a result, Leo XII's reign was unpopular and provoked widespread discontent within the Papal States.

LIVE FEED: State Capture Inquiry - May 6, 2021
Share this article:
Johannesburg - The Commission of Inquiry into State Capture will continue to hear Bosasa-related evidence from businessman Kevin Wakeford.
On Wednesday, the commission adjourned for the day after evidence leader advocate Viwe Notshe told it there had been delays in the finalisation of the affidavits related to chief executive of Armaments Corporation of South Africa (Armscor), Wakeford's evidence.
Wakeford was due to give evidence at the Zondo commission related to Bosasa on Wednesday.
Advocate Notshe requested that Wakeford's evidence to be postponed to today. He said Wakeford received two more affidavits related to his evidence only on Wednesday morning.
WATCH THE FEED
Wakeford has slammed allegations by former Bosasa chief operating officer Angelo Agrizzi at the commission as "malicious, a gross fabrication and the fabric of lies".
Wakeford has allegedly been implicated in an affidavit submitted to the commission of inquiry by Agrizzi.
Agrizzi told the commission that former Gqeberha businessman Wakeford, allegedly received R100 000 a month for helping Bosasa “resolve its Sars issues”.
Agrizzi said Wakeford allegedly made an arrangement with former Bosasa chief executive officer Gavin Watson to provide both wet and dry cement to a property in Meyersdal owned by consultant to Sars George Papadakis.
Agrizzi also accused Wakeford of involvement in underhanded dealings when it came to renegotiating the contract to manage the Lindela Repatriation Centre in Krugersdorp West.
He said this happened at a time when the Lindela contract was under review by the Department of Home Affairs.
The commission will also later in the evening hear evidence from Free State related evidence from the former director general in the Office of the Free State Premier Kopung Ralikontsan.


IE Out & Allies Club hosts the 13th LGBT @ Work Conference
IE Out & Allies Club celebrated the 13th annual edition of the LGBT @ Work Conference, gathering 11 renowned speakers from 10 nationalities to discuss LGBT rights for professionals.
IE Out & Allies Club held the 13th LGBT@Work conference Thursday, with a line-up of 11 speakers from 10 nationalities, sharing their stories of inclusiveness and diversity in the workplace.
The student-led conference, which is now one of the university’s signature events and the third largest of its kind in the world, took place at the Casa de America in Madrid and featured speakers like Sodexo Global Projects Director Miren Garay, Trevor Project Head of Corporate Development Muneer Panjwani, DTCC’s Head of Diverse Talent Management Keisha Bell , Vice President Public Affairs at Gilead Sciences Alex Kalomparis, SAP’s Latin American Customer Experience chief Gian Venturini Reis and other role models in the LGBT community.
LGBT@Work boasted some 330 attendees—up from last year’s 250—and combined the resources of 16 different organizations, including IE Campus Life, Gilead, SAP, Uber, IE Foundation,Google, IBM, Salesforce and Amazon.
Organizers said they will seek a larger venue for next year given its growing popularity.
IE University President Santiago Iñiguez applauded the transformative power of the student-led initiative as an agent of change.
“This shows not only the values present in our community but around the world. Despite the threats that we see time to time–populism, communism– most of our conquests are irreversible, and this is because of you and because of your commitment to human rights and equal rights,” Iñiguez said.
The emotional highlight of the evening came when IE Business School Dean Martin Boehm presented to Kike Sarasola Founder and President of the Room Mate Group the first ever LGBT@Work Lifetime Achievement Award.
“I recommend we should begin to be straight forward: I’m gay, I’m lesbian. We have to make ourselves known and visible to the community. We have to go over the barriers and be very proud of who we are,” Sarasola said, before choking up as he added, “Receiving this prize is an honor, and I want to dedicate it to my family here that are in the front row. To my husband Carlos and my two kids, Enrique and Aitana. You are my life.”
We have to go over the barriers and be very proud of who we are.
The speakers urged the enthusiastic audience—which often erupted in applause—to be agents of change in the workplace. They discussed the lag in lesbian employees that come out in the workplace 25%, compared to the LGBT community’s overall 39%. They pushed for compassionate leadership to build inclusive teams. They placed LGBT rights within a context of social movements for greater respect and recognition, like MeToo and BlackLivesMatter.
But ultimately, they talked about how crucial it is for employees to feel safe at work.
“We are living in an untrustworthy society, but we encounter that the trust of the employees towards their organisation has gone up, so they expect the organisation to take a stand on social issues. And they definitely should,” said Alex Kalomparis. “We need to create a culture inside of our walls that celebrates success and change and diversity.”
Every year companies create fresh job titles focused on the growing trend toward diversity and inclusion in the work place. New businesses sprout up dedicated to capitalizing on the LGBT community. And many companies choose to use Gay Pride Week as an important branding opportunity.
For many, it is only natural that IE Business School’s students, with its core values of diversity and entrepreneurship, pioneered a forum to address the competitive advantage incorporating LGBT talent can give an organization.
“The current emphasis in the business community on diversity and inclusion initiatives aligns with IE’s core value of diversity,” said Ellis Lanaux, President of IE Out and Allies Club and chair of the sponsorship committee, which raised a record €24,000 for this year’s event.
For the first time ever, IE set up a U.S. version of LGBT@Work in New York to mark the 50th anniversary of the day patrons of New York’s Stonewall Inn Gay Bar fought back against a police raid, launching what is today known as gay rights.
“I think the mission of LGBT@Work, to increase the ability of LGBT+ individuals to be out in the workplace, fits with IE’s mission and culture and gives the business school a way to differentiate itself as a destination school for LGBT+ talent,” Lanaux said.
I think the mission of LGBT@Work, to increase the ability of LGBT+ individuals to be out in the workplace, fits with IE’s mission and culture.
Meanwhile, Madrid is ramping up to celebrate Europe’s largest Pride Week extravaganza this week. Rainbow flags will flutter along the city’s main thoroughfares, promising festivities for all and social acceptance for the LGBT+ community. The IE Foundation is a founding member of Madrid’s largest LGBT business network REDI, which marches in the parade.
“IE Foundation joined top corporations and institutions in creating the REDI Network, being IE at the forefront of academic institutions and connecting with the best companies engaged in equal rights for all,” said IE Foundation Managing Director Geoffroy Gerard. “Breaking barriers that talent suffer of any type of discrimination has been at the core of IE and IE Foundation’s support, enabling our student to impact and lead.”
On Sunday, some 25 IE professors, staff and students are expected to join the more than 400 other representatives of REDI to march in Madrid’s parade.

Reflections from 5 generations of LGBT@Work Leaders
Every year for the last 13 years IE Business School has played host to the LGBT@Work conference. This piece has gathered the thoughts of some of the organizers who span 5 generations to weave together their reflections on how the conference, and consequently the LGBT+ community within IE University has grown over the last 5 years.
One of the most important achievements of the IE Out and Allies Club has been its ability to create a safe space and a strong sense of community and belonging – not only for its direct members but also for members of the wider LGBT+ business community too.
The tagline for World Pride Madrid in 2017 read: ‘No matter who you love, Madrid loves you.’ IE University and its unwavering support (especially during the years when it was neither easy nor popular to do so) has helped build LGBT@Work grow into the 3rd largest LGBT business school conference in the world. If IE Out and Allies had a tagline it would probably have earned: ‘No matter who you love, IE loves you’.
Its seems to have been this guiding principle to have a significant positive and overwhelmingly inclusive impact in our community which has led one generation of club leaders to the next to build on each other’s work (whether we knew it or not) to create the LGBT@Work the global juggernaut it is today.
For some of us we were the ones who first convinced the Madrid LGBT+ Business Community to be an important stakeholder in the project. For some it was our decision to move the conference to align with the Madrid Pride schedule, which geared the conference for growth. And for others we concentrated on growing the conference with the help of sponsors both here in Madrid and even globally, so much so we even out-grew the capacity of the venues available at the university.
The truth is that it seems to be a series of both big and small decisions from one generation to the next that has created a stronger and stronger foundation for all the impact LGBT@Work continues to have. Not only here in Madrid, but all over the world.
Story after story of both our reflections of the conferences and attendees reflections of the conference bring to light something very special about the power we have to positively impact someone else life by including them in a community. As much as LGBT@Work is a story of a group of students who banded together to try to make a positive change for the LGBT+ community, LGBT@Work is the also the story of the brave person who came to the conference and chose to tell their close colleague at work about their girlfriend for the first time.
LGBT@Work is the story of the young undergraduate student who found the confidence in the experience of others to tell his family he is a part of the LGBT community. And LGBT@Work is the story of the conservative organization who was inspired to create an employee resource group for their LGBT+ employees of their organization for the very first time. Truly, LGBT@Work is a collection of stories of far-reaching stories from a community of people who often find some inspiration in what used to be a little annual university conference.
Working on this conference has been one of the biggest undertaking of each of our years at IE, and we can all say beyond a shadow or a doubt that it has left a lasting imprint on us that each of us still feel today.
To all future LGBT@Work organizers, you’re in for the ride of your life – if your experience is anything like ours you’re in for one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of your life.

The Art of Stalking Parallel Perception is a new kind of autobiography - an interdimensional odyssey that weaves its magical threads through one's own existence in a way that has to be experienced to be believed. In this revised edition, Lujan clarifies and expands upon key elements of his teachings. Listeners familiar with the original will be surprised at the awakenings that unfold via powerful additions woven throughout the text. Some chapters have been removed, others expanded upon, and exciting new material has come to light.
Throughout this book, we accompany Lujan Matus during pivotal journeys on his path to becoming a shaman. With in-depth explanations, he and his benefactors impart an empowering sequence of transmissions that offer unprecedented insight into the intricacies of human existence. In sharing his experiences, Lujan opens the door to a universe of mythical proportions and bestows vital keys to access these dimensional possibilities in one's own life.
The Art of Stalking Parallel Perception magnifies the essence of the ancient wisdom traditions in a functional, non-dogmatic format that speaks directly to the heart. One may recognize strands of Tibetan Dzogchen and Taoism, and aficionados of Toltec wisdom will discern the unmistakably potent voice of Don Juan Matus and discover the mysterious guiding influence of the ancient seer, Xoxonapo.
With direct language, Lujan conveys an otherworldly grasp of human nature, not to mention coherent accounts of interdimensional travel, a precise description of the enigmatic manifestation of the energy double, insights into the nonlinear nature of time, and the elucidation of hieroglyphs that are maps to completely open one's perception, this is a bridge to new thresholds unlike any other.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.
©2015 Lujan Matus (P)2016 Lujan Matus
I can't even begin to describe Lujan's influence in my life, and in particular this book. I rarely leave reviews, but when this book found me it literally reached into my life and rearranged my energy and the way I see the world. At times I felt fearful for no apparent reason. I know now that this was the fear of the ego beginning to witness its grip die and fall away. This book is highly cerebral. I needed a dictionary nearby and many times went back and reviewed chapters more than once if my attention had not been totally engaged while listening, it would slip right past me. It really needs to be listened to in a meditative state in order to assimilate the vast wealth of knowledge that comes through this man. I have a library of probably 600 audiobooks, and this teacher is without a doubt the absolute artist when it comes to jamming incredible depth into such a limited medium of communication such as language. I could and can feel his presence in my life. I can't say enough. The single most fascinating book from the single most amazing teacher I have ever encountered. Blown away
It is synchronicity that led me to this book. I believe those who are looking at this book and thinking of downloading it are being guided by their higher selfs. You Will not be disappointed. There is so much reflective information that I will probably have to stop and listen multiple times to absorb it's intensity. It is a must read and I feel words cannot describe its power on the soul.
the books starts out slow, but midway I encountered a shift of mindset and the journey began. I look forward to more of the same while on this new path of consciousness.
Truly a perception altering book. as I listened to it for the first time I felt a sudden and heavy pressure in the back of my head and neck. for a short time after this, I had experienced an incredibly high vibratory state. since then I have listened to all of Lujan's books and have purchased 3 of his physical books. I have been immersed within in the self help & spirituality for some time now but there is no equivalent to the masterful accounts of Lujan Matus.
i loved it and cannot wait to read his other books! the narrator was very good.

GLEN ALLEN, Va. -- Learning about weather is a treat for kids on the exciting web sites they can visit for disaster and weather related information. And it's no trick for them to enjoy resources that make them weather savvy. They may be the ones to remind mom and dad how the family can be safer when storms, floods and other serious weather events pay a visit.
On its web site, FEMA for Kids, www.fema.gov/kids/, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) explains terms like "winter storm watch," or "frost/freeze warning" and others. It is a colorful and welcoming site that lets kid sign up for games, coloring books, certificates and other fun activities. The web site is also good for educators, parents and caregivers as a way of explaining weather terms in a kid-friendly way.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a web site with loads of information for kids at www.ready.gov/kids/. Youngsters from kindergarten through fifth grade can get lots of tips on various things. For example, on what to do if they are caught in a flood while camping, playing outside or riding in a car. The site also teaches how to put together a disaster safety kit.
"The FEMA and DHS web sites are great ways to get kids prepared in advance for weather news that might otherwise be threatening," said Gracia Szczech, FEMA's federal coordinating officer for recovery operations.

City?s first lady gets first card
DOES THE lady wear the pants in the mayoral household? The Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) food and civil supplies department appears to think so.india Updated: Jan 23, 2007 11:23 IST
DOES THE lady wear the pants in the mayoral household? The Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) food and civil supplies department appears to think so.
The department began the disbursement of fresh general category ration cards on Monday by issuing a document made out in the name of Mayor Uma Shashi Sharma instead of spouse Dr Santosh Sharma. Ration cards normally bear the name of head of the family.
“Mahapaur main hoon lekin ghar ke mukhiya to yeh hi hain,” (I may be the Mayor but my husband is the head of the family) the Mayor smilingly remarked to departmental in charge Anil Bindal when the ration card was handed over. Municipal Commissioner Vinod Sharma and Bindal were also issued ration cards during the ceremony at the Mayor’s office.
An estimated three lakh general category and 1.86 lakh below poverty line (BPL) ration cards are to be issued to those residing within municipal limits. The issuance of fresh ration cards comes after a survey commissioned by the Centre revealed large-scale irregularities in card disbursement.
“A total of 1.20 lakh applications were received for general category ration cards. Of these 70,000 have been verified and we have forwarded 5,000 forms to each of the zone offices for disbursing the documents,” revealed Bindal.

NEW YORK — As the Occupy Wall Street protest enters its third week, with demonstrations popping up in more than 10 cities, the protesters are aggressively pushing a comparison to the Arab Spring. Some say the movement has channeled the zeal (or perhaps the naivete, others would argue) of the 1960s anti-war demonstrations. But it’s not Tahrir Square or Chicago in 1968 that Occupy Wall Street most resembles. It’s the protests for economic justice that swept Israel this summer.
Start with location. Like the J14 — the catchy name for the Israel protests, taken from the date, July 14, when they began — the Occupy Wall Street activists have staked out their turf in the heart of the American banking industry.
In Tel Aviv, hundreds of protesters railed against the high cost of housing by setting up tents in the area of the city that houses Israel’s largest banks, specifically on Rothschild Boulevard, an exclusive street named after Baron Edmond James de Rothschild, a member of the famous Jewish banking family and a patron of Zionist causes.
In Lower Manhattan, the Occupy Wall Street protesters have made their base 2 1/2 blocks from the New York Stock Exchange in Zuccotti Park. While there are no tents allowed, hundreds of protesters have made the park their temporary home, camping out in sleeping bags despite rain and the early autumn chill.
Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv houses Independence Hall, the site where Israel’s Declaration of Independence was signed in 1948. Zuccotti Park has been rechristened “Liberty Park” by the protesters and is just a few yards away from Ground Zero.
Demonstrators are quick to explain that the movement, Occupy Wall Street, is leaderless. This same lack of leadership characterized the August protests in Tel Aviv. (Yes, Daphne Leef, a 25-year-old film editor, was credited with sparking the protests when she pitched a tent in a Tel Aviv square to draw attention to the price of rent in Israel. But she remained a symbol more than a leader.) This lack of real leadership has, at least so far, resulted in a fuzzy ideology and a dearth of concrete demands from the Occupy Wall Street crowd.
In the small hours of a Tuesday morning, to take one example, I watched as a 24-year-old protester named Chris from Brooklyn tried to explain the movement’s goal to six of New York’s finest:
“The reason is bigger than you can possibly understand,” Chris said.
“So, explain to it to us,” one of the cops responded. “I work this job because I have a pile of bills to pay. What’s your side?”
“It’s not about the small scale,” Chris said, unable to articulate a better reply. “You don’t understand.”
“That’s where the difference is — between reality and your side,” the cop said. “It’s time to move along.”
This inarticulateness has provided lots of fodder for blistering satire. (“Because if there’s one thing New Yorkers never ignore,” Stephen Colbert quipped on his show, “it’s people sleeping in a park.”) At the same time, this big tent has served Occupy Wall Street, which has drawn a broad-yet-disparate coalition much in the way that the Tel Aviv protests did. Taking a lap through Zuccotti Park, you’ll hear snippets of conversations about the environment, gay rights, police brutality, the Iraq War, Afghanistan, the drone program, tax cuts, foreign aid and more.
But the single overarching theme of the protests has been corporate greed. It is this one-note song of economic inequality that has allowed a collection of students, the unemployed, activists, anarchists, immigrants and union members to form a coalition. They say they represent the 99 percent; the wealthiest 1 percent, they point out, controls 40 percent of the country’s wealth.
Similarly, by avoiding divisive political issues such as settlements, the status of Jerusalem, the future of the West Bank, policy toward Iran and financial subsidies for the haredi Orthodox, and focusing on one issue — the untenable cost of living — J14 was able to unite Jews, Muslims, Arabs, Christians, Druze, gays, the religious, the secular, the left wing and the right wing in common cause. In its final rally on Sept. 3, some 400,000 people participated — approximately 6 percent of the country’s population.
“We work for the richest retailer in the world,” a man from upstate New York who works at Wal-Mart said in Zuccotti Park. “And yet their employees make jack s—.”
He wore a hoodie, which partially covered a neck tattoo of the Hebrew letters aleph bet gimel, which he claimed was an acronym for “everybody’s equal.” On the other side of his neck were four Hebrew words that meant “God’s earth, God’s planet,” bisected by a tree in the shape of a cross.
“There’s a lot of love,” an unemployed Occupy Wall Street protester named Donna told me.
On a Monday evening and in the early morning hours the next day, I saw what she was talking about. The sound of drums and guitars gave the space the feeling of a carnival. A quick tour of the plaza revealed a surprising abundance of provisions: anarchists with logistical acumen! There was more food than could be eaten, and no one knew from where it had come: deli sandwiches, Pop Tarts, apples, bananas, coffee, and bottles and bottles of Poland Spring. There was talk of donating the excess food to homeless shelters.
Countless supplies had arrived via UPS and from strangers dropping off supplies throughout the day. There were tarps to sleep under and aluminum and cloth blankets for campers. A compost station had been set up for leftover food. Two protesters sat rolling cigarettes from mounds of tobacco, offering regular or mint. I was offered a free umbrella. A similar camaraderie had pervaded the Tel Aviv protests this summer.
In Zuccotti Park, a medical team roved the plaza giving out vitamins. A sanitation crew kept the square clean. Protesters used the bathroom in a nearby McDonald’s.
“They’ve been very nice to us,” Anya, who came from Iowa for the protest, told me. “The workers are part of the 99 percent.” At 1 a.m., a bounty of McDonald’s cookies and coffee arrived.
I met a guy named Max sipping McDonald’s corporate coffee.
“I work for the U.N. now, doing geospatial analysis,” Max said. He was more than a little drunk, skeptical of the movement, and may or may not have been telling the truth. “I was watching the Russians today on the Internet. And they are following the protests closely.”
Max said he lived nearby and had just dropped by to check out the scene.
“The protesters have … no mission,” he told me. “It’s like they are fighting a ghost.”
The same could be said of the Tel Aviv protests, which nevertheless galvanized an apathetic Israeli generation into political engagement.

I woke up wearing only this shirt, if that’s disturbing enough for you
Dear Jim and Matt,
Dudes, I’m totally sorry I slept through the morning when we were scheduled to mix the new record, Still Awesome at my place the other day. I’m also sorry that I kept you guys waiting outside for approximately seventy minutes while I got my beauty sleep.
When I did get up, we did do a really smashing job of mixing the new record, Still Awesome, and it sounds better than anything I’ve ever done, and you guys are the best around.
If a picture can tell a story, allow me to provide these screenshots from my phone showing the texts and missed calls, etc. There’s a choice one from Bradley R. Weissenberger in there that also made my day:
Lastly, if I may draw attention to the excellent photo Jim took of our illustrious engineer, Mr. Matt Engstrom shown here on the right, let it be noted that the brand of monitors we used was “T’Annoy”.
You dudes are the best dudes.
Here is the new Small Awesome demo, entitled “Breech Born”, which was composed and scored for Faiz’ “Sound Theory and Practice” class at Columbia. To quote Jim: “If I understand this correctly, you have to zippity-do-dah a song to gain favor with your educational overlords, and wish this “piece” to be considered canonically Small Awesome?”
the 2014 PRF BBQ was tremendous. Here’s how we played:
Special love to our musical guests, Messrs. Ike Turner on hi-hat
and Brent Mix on baritone saxophone. Salut!

Our amazing friends / Caffeinated Recordings (we recorded Still Awesome there,
and they’ve done pretty much all of our live footage)
got royally screwed by a busted pipe and flooding:
They’re covered by insurance, but they lost a lot of hard-to-replace odds and ends.
There’s folks wanting to kick in a little something, sooner-than-later, to help out.
It occurred to super-fan/super-hero Carlin Reed, there is one possible quick & easy way:
If you get the free download of Caffeinated IV on ye olde bandcamp:
Buy Now name your price
I just overpaid! I suggest y’all do, too.
…it’s got our song “Black Sea of Trees”, and 22 other tunes by 22 brilliant bands.
everything was recorded either at or by Caffeinated. Salut.
Schuba’s was a blast! Our most fluid set yet.
Thanks to Mike Armstrong out of Bric-A-Brac for the show and the photo below.
Greetings! We’re having our annual Dec 12th rehearsal etc. and are sitting on
21 new songs, a dozen of which will be recorded soon in a couple months.
Edit: Neat! Our song, “I Don’t Think Any of Them Do”

By Staff Reporter WINDHOEK Well-known resident of Donkerhoek in Windhoek's Katutura suburb, and a former ardent Tigers Football Club supporter, Christof Hanghuwo, died over the weekend at the Katutura hospital after a short illness. According to family members, Hanghuwo died of kidney failure. Hanghuwo was also a longstanding member of the SWAPO Party and was actively involved in political activism during the days of occupation. SWAPO Party Elders Council, Emmanuel Muatara described the late Hanghuwo as a fearless gentleman and a true patriot who never succumbed to pressure from the authorities during the party's early years. "Hanghuwo was a devoted SWAPO elder. From the onset, he never missed a single meeting, that I can tell you," Muatara said. According the Muatara, the SWAPO Party has lost a man of integrity and good character. "We at SWAPO are mourning the loss of this fine man and we wish all the strength and courage to the bereaved family," said Muatara. His wife Alma and 10 children survive Hanghuwo. He is to be buried this coming Saturday at the Oponganda Cemetery in Katutura. A memorial service is also planned for him at the Macedonia Lutheran church in Katutura on Friday evening. Hanghuwo was 72 years old.

Redistribute neighbor provides a way for IP subnets to span racks without forcing the end hosts to run a routing protocol.
The fundamental premise behind redistribute neighbor is to announce individual host /32 routes in the routed fabric. Other hosts on the fabric can then use this new path to access the hosts in the fabric. If multiple equal-cost paths (ECMP) are available, traffic can load balance across the available paths natively.
The challenge is to accurately compile and update this list of reachable hosts or neighbors. Luckily, existing commonly-deployed protocols are available to solve this problem. Hosts use ARP to resolve MAC addresses when sending to an IPv4 address. A host then builds an ARP cache table of known MAC addresses: IPv4 tuples as they receive or respond to ARP requests.
For a leaf switch, where the default gateway is used for hosts within the rack, the ARP cache table contains a list of all hosts that have ARP’d for their default gateway. In many scenarios, this table contains all the layer 3 information that is needed. Redistribute neighbor formats and synchronizes this table into the routing protocol.
Redistribute neighbor is distributed as
The current implementation of redistribute neighbor:
- Supports IPv4 only.
- Does not support VRFs.
- Supports a maximum of 1024 interfaces. Using more than 1024 interfaces might crash the
- Is not supported with EVPN. Enabling both redistribute neighbor and EVPN leads to unreachable IPv4 ARP and IPv6 neighbor entries.
Target Use Cases and Best Practices
Redistribute neighbor is typically used in these configurations:
- Virtualized clusters
- Hosts with service IP addresses that migrate between racks
- Hosts that are dual connected to two leaf nodes without using proprietary protocols such as MLAG
- Anycast services that need dynamic advertisement from multiple hosts
Follow these guidelines:
- You can connect a host to one or more leafs. Each leaf advertises the /32 it sees in its neighbor table.
- Make sure that a host-bound bridge/VLAN is local to each switch.
- Connect leaf switches with redistribute neighbor enabled directly to the hosts.
- Make sure that IP addressing is non-overlapping, as the host IP addresses are directly advertised into the routed fabric.
- Run redistribute neighbor on Linux-based hosts. NVIDIA has not actively tested other host operating systems.
How Redistribute Neighbor Works
Redistribute neighbor works as follows:
- The leaf/ToR switches learn about connected hosts when the host sends an ARP request or ARP reply.
- An entry for the host is added to the kernel neighbor table of each leaf switch.
- The redistribute neighbor daemon,
rdnbrd, monitors the kernel neighbor table and creates a /32 route for each neighbor entry. This /32 route is created in kernel table 10.
- FRRouting is configured to import routes from kernel table 10.
- A route-map controls which routes from table 10 are imported.
- In FRRouting these routes are imported as table routes.
- BGP, OSPF and so on, are then configured to redistribute the table 10 routes.
The following example configuration is based on the following topology.
Configure the Leafs
The following steps demonstrate how to configure leaf01, but you can follow the same steps on any leaf.
NVUE Commands are currently unsupported.
/etc/network/interfacesfile to configure the host facing ports, using the same IP address on both host-facing interfaces as well as a /32 prefix. In this case, swp1 and swp2 are configured as they are the ports facing server01 and server02:
cumulus@leaf01:~$ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback address 10.0.0.1/32 auto swp1 iface swp1 address 10.0.0.1/32 auto swp2 iface swp2 address 10.0.0.1/32 ...
Enable the daemon so it starts at bootup, then start the daemon:
cumulus@leaf01:~$ sudo systemctl enable rdnbrd.service cumulus@leaf01:~$ sudo systemctl restart rdnbrd.service
Add the table as routes into the local routing table:
cumulus@leaf01:~$ sudo vtysh leaf01# configure terminal leaf01(config)# ip import-table 10
Define a route-map that matches on the host-facing interface:
leaf01(config)# route-map REDIST_NEIGHBOR permit 10 leaf01(config-route-map)# match interface swp1 leaf01(config-route-map)# route-map REDIST_NEIGHBOR permit 20 leaf01(config-route-map)# match interface swp2
Apply that route-map to routes imported into table:
leaf01(config)# ip protocol table route-map REDIST_NEIGHBOR
Redistribute the imported table routes in into the appropriate routing protocol.
leaf01(config)# router bgp 65001 leaf01(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast leaf01(config-router-af)# redistribute table 10 leaf01(config-router-af)# exit leaf01(config-router)# exit leaf01(config)# exit leaf01# write memory leaf01# exit cumulus@leaf01:~$
leaf01(config)# router ospf leaf01(config-router)# redistribute table 10 leaf01(config-router)# exit leaf01(config)# exit leaf01# write memory leaf01# exit cumulus@leaf01:~$
The vtysh commands save the configuration in the
/etc/frr/frr.conf file. The following example uses OSPF as the routing protocol:
frr defaults datacenter ip import-table 10 route-map REDIST_NEIGHBOR username cumulus nopassword ! service integrated-vtysh-config ! log syslog informational ! router bgp 65001 ! address-family ipv4 unicast redistribute table 10 exit-address-family ! route-map REDIST_NEIGHBOR permit 10 match interface swp1 ! route-map REDIST_NEIGHBOR permit 20 match interface swp2 ! router ospf redistribute table 10 ! line vty !
Configure the Hosts
There are a few possible host configurations that range in complexity. This document only covers the basic use case: dual-connected Linux hosts with static IP addresses assigned.
Configure a host with the same /32 IP address on its loopback (lo) and uplinks (in this example, eth1 and eth2). This is done so both leaf switches advertise the same /32 regardless of the interface. Cumulus Linux relies on ECMP to load balance across the interfaces southbound, and an equal cost static route (see the configuration below) for load balancing northbound.
The loopback hosts the primary service IP address(es) and to which you can bind services.
Configure the loopback and physical interfaces. Referring back to the topology diagram, server01 is connected to leaf01 via eth1 and to leaf02 via eth2. You should note:
The loopback IP is assigned to lo, eth1 and eth2.
The post-up ARPing is used to force the host to ARP as soon as its interface comes up. This allows the leaf to learn about the host as soon as possible.
ip route replaceis used to install a default route via one or both leaf nodes if both swp1 and swp2 are up.▼ Click to expand
Install and use
ifplugd, which modifies the behavior of the Linux routing table when an interface undergoes a link transition (carrier up/down). The Linux kernel by default leaves routes up even when the physical interface is unavailable (NO-CARRIER).
After you install
/etc/default/ifplugd as follows, where eth1 and eth2 are the interface names that your host uses to connect to the leafs.
user@server01:$ sudo nano /etc/default/ifplugd INTERFACES="eth1 eth2" HOTPLUG_INTERFACES="" ARGS="-q -f -u10 -d10 -w -I" SUSPEND_ACTION="stop"
For full instructions on installing
ifplugd on Ubuntu, follow this guide.
Check if rdnbrd is Running
rdnbrd is the redistribute neighbor daemon. To check if the daemon is running, run the
systemctl status rdnbrd.service command:
cumulus@leaf01:~$ systemctl status rdnbrd.service * rdnbrd.service - Cumulus Linux Redistribute Neighbor Service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rdnbrd.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2016-05-04 18:29:03 UTC; 1h 13min ago Main PID: 1501 (python) CGroup: /system.slice/rdnbrd.service `-1501 /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/rdnbrd -d
Change rdnbrd Configuration
To change the default configuration of
rdnbrd, edit the
/etc/rdnbrd.conf file, then run
systemctl restart rdnbrd.service:
cumulus@leaf01:~$ sudo nano /etc/rdnbrd.conf # syslog logging level CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, or DEBUG loglevel = INFO # TX an ARP request to known hosts every keepalive seconds keepalive = 1 # If a host does not send an ARP reply for holdtime consider the host down holdtime = 3 # Install /32 routes for each host into this table route_table = 10 # Uncomment to enable ARP debugs on specific interfaces. # Note that ARP debugs can be very chatty. # debug_arp = swp1 swp2 swp3 br1 # If we already know the MAC for a host, unicast the ARP request. This is # unusual for ARP (why ARP if you know the destination MAC) but we will be # using ARP as a keepalive mechanism and do not want to broadcast so many ARPs # if we do not have to. If a host cannot handle a unicasted ARP request, set # # Unicasting ARP requests is common practice (in some scenarios) for other # networking operating systems so it is unlikely that you will need to set # this to False. unicast_arp_requests = True cumulus@leaf01:~$ sudo systemctl restart rdnbrd.service
Set the Routing Table ID
The Linux kernel supports multiple routing tables and can utilize 0 through 255 as table IDs; however tables 0, 253, 254 and 255 are reserved, and 1 is usually the first one utilized. Therefore,
rdnbrd only allows you to specify 2-252. Cumulus Linux uses table ID 10, however you can set the ID to any value between 2-252. You can see all the tables specified here:
cumulus@leaf01:~$ cat /etc/iproute2/rt_tables # # reserved values # 255 local 254 main 253 default 0 unspec # # local # #1 inr.ruhep
Check /32 Redistribute Neighbor Advertised Routes
For BGP, run the vtysh
show ip bgp neighbor <interface> advertised-routes command. For example:
cumulus@leaf01:~$ show ip bgp neighbor swp51 advertise-routes BGP table version is 5, local router ID is 10.0.0.11 Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, = multipath, i internal, r RIB-failure, S Stale, R Removed Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path *> 10.0.0.11/32 0.0.0.0 0 32768 i *> 10.0.0.12/32 :: 0 65020 65012 i *> 10.0.0.21/32 :: 0 65020 i *> 10.0.0.22/32 :: 0 65020 i Total number of prefixes 4
Verify the Kernel Routing Table
Use the following workflow to verify that the kernel routing table isbeing populated correctly and that routes are being correctly imported and advertised:
Verify that ARP neighbor entries are being populated into the Kernel routing table 10.
cumulus@leaf01:~$ ip route show table 10 10.0.1.101 dev swp1 scope link
If these routes are not being generated, verify the following that the
rdnbrddaemon is running and check the
/etc/rdnbrd.conffile to verify the correct table number is used.
Verify that routes are being imported into FRRouting from the kernel routing table 10.
cumulus@leaf01:~$ sudo vtysh leaf01# show ip route table Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, A - Babel, T - Table, > - selected route, * - FIB route T>* 10.0.1.101/32 [19/0] is directly connected, swp1, 01:25:29
Both the > and * should be present so that table 10 routes are installed as preferred into the routing table. If the routes are not being installed, verify the imported distance of the locally imported kernel routes with the
ip import 10 distance Xcommand (where X is not less than the administrative distance of the routing protocol). If the distance is too low, routes learned from the protocol might overwrite the locally imported routes. Also, verify that the routes are in the kernel routing table.
Confirm that routes are in the BGP/OSPF database and are being advertised.
leaf01# show ip bgp
TCAM Route Scale
This feature adds each ARP entry as a /32 host route into the routing table of all switches within a summarization domain. Make sure the number of hosts minus fabric routes is under the TCAM size of the switch. Review the Cumulus Networks datasheets for up to date scalability limits of your hardware platform. If in doubt, contact your support representative.
Uneven Traffic Distribution
Linux uses source layer 3 addresses only to do load balancing on most older distributions.
Silent Hosts Never Receive Traffic
Freshly provisioned hosts that have never sent traffic may not ARP for their default gateways. The post-up ARPing in
/etc/network/interfaces on the host should take care of this. If the host does not ARP, then
rdnbrd on the leaf cannot learn about the host.

While Kagiso Rabada awaits the ruling on the Level 2 charge against him – for having brushed Australian captain Steven Smith in the shoulder – he has been hit by another charge: a Level 1 offence for the send-off he gave David Warner in the second innings in Port Elizabeth. Rabada is currently on five demerit points and could earn three more if found guilty of the Level 2 charge, which would see him banned for the next two Tests. He has yet to respond to the Level 1 charge.
Australia allrounder Mitchell Marsh, meanwhile, added to the growing list of this series’ unsavoury moments when television cameras captured his verbal riposte to Rabada after he was bowled on the fourth morning in Port Elizabeth. In the first over of the day, Marsh was comprehensively bowled by a ball that sliced between his bat and pad, and, as Rabada ran past in celebration, the Australian was seen mouthing the words “f*** you c***” while turning his head towards the bowler.

Huntsman to use Silpure by Thomson Research
March 30, 2007,
Toronto--Thomson Research Associates (TRA) said chemical manufacturer Huntsman Textile Effects will help develop new applications for TRA’s antimicrobial Silpure technology to be used in a range of its products.
Silpure utilizes the natural ability of silver to limit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, and is ideal for surface application to textiles, the companies said.
TRA president Dr. Laval Yau said, “We believe that Silpure’s huge potential as a ground-breaking new product will be fully realized by this alliance with Huntsman, with its unmatched resources and proven track record in sales to global industries.”

The Congress of SA Trade Unions will push for a complete overhaul of the content and alignment of the national planning commission (NPC), its 10th national congress resolved in Midrand on Wednesday.
The issue of Minister in the Presidency Trevor Manuel’s Green Paper arose again at the union federation’s policy-making gathering and culminated in a robust and at times, heated debate.
The congress resolved to “vigorously engage the [tripartite] alliance on the Green Paper”.
It would call for the “complete overhaul” of its content and for its alignment with the perspective on the NPC developed at the ANC’s 52nd national conference in Polokwane last year and the alliance’s economic cummit in October 2008.
Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi said the Green Paper represented “a massive turf battle in Cabinet”.
He said this had sidelined certain ministers and, referring to Manuel, had positioned others at the centre of processes.
Cosatu felt the Green Paper usurped the powers of former trade unionist, now Economic Development Minister, Ebrahim Patel.
The NPC was the result of engagement between the ANC, Cosatu, the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the South African National Civic Organisation (Sanco), Cosatu said.
However, it complained that these bodies were not consulted on the Green Paper before it was released for public scrutiny.
The Green Paper, published by Manuel on September 6, proposed the creation of an NPC consisting of members of the South African public.
It also proposed that the minister for planning “be the link between government and the commission”.
Cosatu would participate in the consultative forums on the Green Paper, including the National Economic Development and Labour Council and public hearings in Parliament.
Amid criticism of Manuel, some delegates cautioned against personalising reservations about the NPC.
South African Democratic Teachers’ Union president Thobile Ntola urged against attacking an individual.
“We want to de-personalise the resolution,” he said.
ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe warned against focusing criticism on Manuel. “To resolve on an individual is always a dangerous act for an organisation,” he said.
Cosatu was firmly against public representatives with business interests.
“We continue to insist that public representatives must choose between being public representatives and live within their salaries, or must choose business.
You can’t be both,” Vavi said.
“A public representative cannot be a business person at the same time,” he said.
In the ensuing debate, the Cosatu-affiliated South African Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) called for corruption to be “declared a crime against humanity”.
Citing as an example the North West, where many public servants have recently been suspended, Samwu said corruption perpetuated poverty, irrespective if whether it took place in the public or private sector.
It was therefore necessary to deal harshly with those found guilty of corruption.
The third day of the conference began with a presentation by Sanco deputy president Lemias Mashile.
“It is disturbing to find the phrase ‘tripartite alliance’ ...
“We as Sanco do not accept a junior partner status,” he said.
“We have been too tolerant of government not engaging or engaging very little.”
As the debates continued on Wednesday, groups of delegates were pulled out of the congress to vote for Cosatu’s office bearers.
The election was largely uncontested, with the top tier likely to remain the same with Sidumo Dlamini as president and Vavi as general secretary.
South African Clothing and Textile Workers’ Union national treasurer Freda Oosthuysen was nominated unopposed for the position of treasurer.
The position of second deputy president would be filled by either Zingiswa Losi, of the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) or Boitumelo Louise Thipe, of the South African Commercial Catering and Allied Workers’ Union.
This position was left open after the death of Violet Seboni in a car accident in April. - Sapa

As the government continues to come up fire for failure to ramp up testing fast enough, it has emerged preparedness plans were never put in place.
⚠ Read ourcoronavirus live blog for the latest news & updates
Public health officials failed to consider the need for mass community testing in the UK, despite warnings from the World Health Organisation (WHO), according to The Telegraph.
A senior government adviser revealed planners "did not discuss" testing because they thought the next outbreak would be an influenza not a virus.
Ministers and officials from Public Health England, the Cabinet Office and the Department of Health decided against drawing up plans for mass testing, after WHO warned in 2005 it would drastically slow the spread of disease.
Chairman of the official committee advising the government on infectious disease and coronavirus Professor Graham Medley said: "that may have been a mistake".
Health Secretary Matt Hancock last night promised that by the end of the month the UK would be testing 100,000 people a day in a five-pillar plan to stop the spread of COVID-19.
But the government has come under attack from all sides over its failure to organise mass-testing as soon as coronavirus started to spread rapidly through Britain.
The WHO warned countries in 2005 that testing was critical to fighting a pandemic in a document called Responding To The Avian Influenza Pandemic Threat.
The document warned: "Because the initial symptoms of H5N1 (bird flu) infection mimic those of many diseases common in these countries, accurate case detection requires the testing of large numbers of samples."
"Improved local capacity is therefore a more rational solution."
Senior Whitehall officials confirmed that the need for mass testing "did not figure in our thinking" when drawing up pandemic plans, ignoring the WHO advice.
One senior Whitehall official said: "We didn't plan for mass community testing at all, no. You could argue that was the wrong thing to do."
"We focused on influenza because we believed it was the next one coming down the track. It's fair to say that next time we would take a vastly different approach."
He added: "There is no reason why Public Health England and ministers couldn’t have reached out and got this thing going earlier."

Many people still believe that virtual reality is something frightening and dangerous. The parents are worried because of their kids’ mental and physical health. But the technologies improve all the time. You can find VR arenas in almost every city. So, should you be afraid of virtual reality’s harmfulness? Let’s find it out.
1. Is VR dangerous?
VR games don’t interfere with kids’ or adults’ health. Arenas’ or clubs’ instructors explain everything in detail and always stay there, watching the process and the players’ condition. But don’t forget that VR is about plunging into a different world, one different from the real one in terms of graphics and plot. Some people can’t deal with changes like that.
2. Is VR headset harmful?
Sometimes the players complain of eye strain or eye dryness after plunging into VR. These problems may be caused by wearing a headset for a long time. We use Oculus Quest 2 headsets. They have a system of adjustable binocular lenses and a high-resolution matrix screen. The device is safe for your eyesight, you won’t face any issues after playing, and, of course, you won’t lose your eyesight.The influence of VR on eye health has been researched for many years. As the popularity of virtual reality grew, scientists from all over the world began to explore this technology. According to most research studies, VR headsets influence the eye retina in the same way as the screens of phones, laptops and computers. At the same time, note that virtual reality is developing all the time and adapts to the users’ needs.In addition, VR is actively used in medicine for advanced training, non-drug treatment, and sharing information about diseases or clinical processes.

Gavin and Stacey's Mathew Horne sparks marriage rumours
10 questions for comedian and actor Matthew Horne - Sunday Post
His smile is quick, his laughs sudden. Horne first heard about The Miser — which Foley is directing, after adapting it with regular collaborator Phil Porter — when the director excitedly told him about it over lunch during The Catherine Tate Show Live rehearsals. It sounded like a really interesting, funny and exciting project. At first, Horne feared he was in trouble. The tradition of the comic double act has been an actively important part of his career, from Mackinnon through to Corden. I see them as positive and constructive. He can laugh at himself, but he holds himself to a high standard.
Mathew Horne: I didn’t have the personality to deal with the flak
Graeme Robertson People often think I'm gay, and I quite like the ambiguity of that. I think we should be in a society where everybody is free and not suppressed by restrictive ideas about sexuality. So I would say I'm a gay straight man or a straight gay, whichever one is semantically correct.

Bil’s rating (out of 5): BBBB.
Original title: Doubles vies
France, 2018. CG Cinéma, Vortex Sutra, Arte France Cinema, Playtime, Arte France, Canal+, Cine@, Cinécapital, Cinéventure 3, Cofinova 14, Indéfilms 6, La Banque Postale Image 11, Sofica Manon 8, SofiTVciné 5, Lynk Investments Trading Service Construction. Screenplay by Olivier Assayas. Cinematography by Yorick Le Saux. Produced by Charles Gillibert. Production Design by François-Renaud Labarthe. Costume Design by Jürgen Doering. Film Editing by Simon Jacquet.
Olivier Assayas expresses his concern over the changes in technology that are influencing the ability of art to inspire humanity, centering this film primarily, though not exclusively, in the publishing world. Guillaume Canet is excellent as a publisher who takes a meeting with writer Vincent Macaigne about his latest book, and their conversation about the efficacy of printing on paper in the era of digital saturation leads to a dialogue-driven journey into the way their personal lives run alongside their professional ones. Canet is having to weigh the reality of people reading great works of literature on their smartphones, his company even flirting with the idea of getting into bed with a telecom corporation, while Macaigne is wrestling with issues of creativity and the meaning of “auto-fiction”, fielding criticism from his public about the amount of personal biographical detail he puts into his work; ironically, the former is married to actress Juliette Binoche (as usual, mesmerizing) while having an affair with work colleague Christa Theret, and the latter is having an affair with Binoche that she is dismayed to find he has put into his latest manuscript. Assayas is the modern master of the kind of Intellectuals In Cafes movies that the French do so well, he hearkens back to the likes of Eric Rohmer’s My Night At Maud’s, films in which endless debate is somehow flashy enough for cinema despite how physically static it all is. The whole cast is outstanding, none better than Nora Hamzawi as Macaigne’s frustrated wife, who is herself having to deal with the social media age while working on a politician’s election campaign. Assayas uses these characters to wonder about these topics but he hasn’t made up his mind about them, and what plays as a bewitching series of conversations and conflicts eventually paints itself into a corner; the conclusion reveals that he doesn’t know how to end this film, but it’s still a journey worth taking.

IGAD Council of Ministers holds a consultative meeting
IGAD Council of Ministers made a consultative meeting to review the progress of the Revitalization Process of South Sudan peace process with Ministers and representative Ambassadors of member countries on Tuesday on the margins of AU-EU Summit 2017.
The meeting discussed two important issues and sought to endorse the Consultation report and the Date and Venue of the Consultation Forum which was proposed to be made after the 59th Extra-Ordinary Session of the IGAD Council of Ministers.
Reiterating the fact that without the participation of the Foreign Ministers of IGAD member countries the consultations could not have been possible, Dr. Workneh said, “I must thank you all, for supporting our collective undertakings in this regard, especially for the good spirit exhibited during the pre-forum consultations with the parties”.
He added, “We should continue with the same spirit of cooperation, speak with one voice and keep everyone updated to succeed”.
Dr. Workneh in his remarks also commended EU Ambassadors of IGAD countries for their fruitful engagement to create another multilateral platform, where cooperation in peace and security and European Development Fund (EDF) could be beneficial.
On the occasion, Special Envoy of IGAD to South Sudan Ambassador Dr. Ismail Wais briefed the gathering on the consultation results.
The meeting underscored the need for speeding up the revitalization process, so as to lift out millions who are suffering because of the crisis in South Sudan.
A meeting of IGAD plus TCC countries is being held on Wednesday, it was learned.

Underutilization paired with project delays are driving Mexico’s demand for U.S. LNG and without north-to-south buildout, analysts don’t expect this dynamic to change soon. (Source: Hart Energy/Shutterstock)
The U.S.-to-Mexico LNG export story doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon as analysts expect U.S. exports to grow to nearly 9.3 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) by 2023. From that, 2.7 Bcf/d is expected to go directly to Mexico.
During S&P Global Platts’ webinar “Demand Beyond the Border-Mexico and LNG Exports” on Aug. 15 analysts warned that the lack of capacity utilization from U.S. export corridors like West Texas and the southwest region has become critical to this story.

Cycling intimately acquaints you with every bump, slice, crease, divot, ledge, ripple and of course pothole in a street, because not noticing means you might get thrown off your steed into bone-breaking and life ending car traffic.
While riding along Lafayette Street in Manhattan, or Bergen Street in Brooklyn, or essentially anywhere in New York City, what I notice is surfaces that can only be described as poor and frankly dangerous for someone on a bike.
New York City is not the exception in this. It’s been true in every city I have ever lived in in the United States, which includes some geographic and cultural diversity. Abroad, that’s not so much the case, particularly in the prosperous countries of Western Europe. They notice the difference when the travel here, let me assure you. A few years ago when I was living in Boston a friend from Germany surveyed the pot-holed streets in Cambridge around the prestigious university of Harvard with some amazement.
"It reminds me of a Third-world country," he said with a grin. "Apparently no one cares!"
I don’t think that’s the case, but streets here do seem unusually bad. Why is that so?
When I swerved to avoid a pothole, I would tend to curse City Hall, and particularly the Department of Transportation. It’s responsible for the streets. Why doesn’t it do a better job maintaining them?
Then it hit me that my logic really wasn’t inclusive enough. Most of the bumps and bruises on city streets relate to what is underneath the streets, because most of the bumps and bruises are caused by repairs after the streets have been opened up for some kind of work on electrical, gas, steam, water, phone or subway lines. And DOT doesn’t own these utilities; other institutions do, including private companies. When Verizon puts in a new phone cable, or Con Edison repairs a gas line, its crews tear up the street, and its crews repair them. And not surprisingly, their crews may not put as high a priority on repairing streets as they do on installing phone cables or gas lines.
Then there are the other public agencies with interest below the street, like the water lines managed by the city’s water department, and the subway and train lines managed by big public agencies that answer to the state.
What it adds up to is many institutions, all working beneath the streets, and then repairing them afterward, often with private subcontractors, which then adds an additional variable to the task of keeping streets neat.
If you look at the relatively smooth streets of places like Germany, France or Scandinavia, what you generally find is fewer private companies laying public infrastructure like water, gas and electric lines, and more public ones.
New York City and American cities follow the Anglo-Saxon model, derived from Great Britain, of letting private companies do much of the primary work in installing infrastructure. This saves taxes in the short run, but can create inefficiencies and bumpy streets in the long run. As I said in my latest book that just came out in paperback, Beneath the Metropolis, London didn’t even have a public water system until early in the 20th century. Before that it had a half dozen competing private water companies, all tearing up streets to lay their own lines, (and sometimes sabotaging their competitors). New York had a similar condition with its gas and electric lines before a company with the name Edison "consolidated" them into one corporation.
Having multiple private companies and public agencies responsible for the care of the street creates many opportunities for miscommunications and poor or faulty work. Folks I know at DOT tell me quite a few horror stories.
Is there a way we can make our streets better, without completely reorganizing our economy? There is, and that is better public oversight. As I have talked about regarding other issues in the city, an important but relatively neglected part of government is diligent and conscientious oversight of private companies doing public work. This can be making sure a developer puts in the right kind of escalator in a subway station, to making sure there are good paving standards for private companies to follow, and having enough resources to make sure those paving standards are met.
While Mayor Bloomberg’s recent plan to send out squads of folks on foot and bike to methodically inspect the quality of the streets is a good one, what is needed even more is rigorous enforcement of standards that already exist for the care and maintenance of streets, regardless of who is doing the work.
