Maxeler Technologies, the market leader in Maximum Performance Computing technology, today announced that it has gone live with a supercomputer solution for fixed income trading operations at J.P. Morgan. As a result, the analysis and profiling of certain intra-day trading risk within the investment bank will run on a Maxeler dataflow supercomputer.
Maxeler’s approach to supercomputing will enable J.P. Morgan to assess tens of thousands of possible market scenarios, constantly examining the time path and structure of the associated risk. This means that complex scenarios can now be calculated in a few minutes rather than hours.
In recognition of its innovative deployment of Maxeler’s technology, J.P. Morgan has just been awarded the “Most Cutting Edge IT Initiative” at the prestigious American Financial Technology Awards (AFTA) (5 December 2011).
Peter Cherasia, Head of Markets Strategies at J.P. Morgan, commented: “With the new Maxeler technology, J.P. Morgan’s trading businesses can now compute orders of magnitude more quickly, making it possible to improve our understanding and control of the profile of our complex trading risk.”
As part of the deal, J.P. Morgan has ordered a second powerful supercomputer for use within other parts of the fixed income business at the bank. This new dataflow supercomputer will be equivalent to over 12,000 conventional x86 cores, providing 128 Teraflops of performance.
“This new level of performance comes at a fraction of the cost, power and space compared to using conventional computers”, said Gerald Aigner, a senior advisor at Maxeler Technologies who previously had responsibility for datacenters at Google. “Maxeler dataflow computers bring a novel data-centric computing technology to the forefront of high performance computing. Where computation really matters, the Maxeler approach has the potential to make a significant difference.”
In addition to compute performance, total cost of ownership is becoming a key efficiency indicator for data-center operations. As the new Maxeler machine at J.P. Morgan is 25 times smaller than equivalent x86 machines, this translates to 25 times less power consumption and 25 times less space requirement in the data-center per computation.
“We are delighted to see our early research efforts at Stanford in the 90′s reach a commercial deployment on an industrial scale,” said Michael J Flynn, Maxeler’s Chairman and Professor at Stanford University, and recipient in 1992 of the highest award in Computer Architecture, the IEEE/ACM Eckert-Mauchley Award.
“Following our strategic investment in Maxeler Technologies earlier this year, we are excited to see further direct impact on our compute capabilities in less than six months,” added Cherasia.
Maxeler Technologies, Inc. pioneers Maximum Performance Computing. Maxeler combines high performance computing (HPC) consulting with custom acceleration technology to deliver competitive advantage. Its complete and scalable solutions include hardware platforms, software programming tools and application consulting. Maxeler’s technology enables organisations to speed up processing times by 20-50x, with over 90% reduction in energy usage and over 95% reduction in data center space.

Sometimes it's a challenge just to get a child to pick up a book.
But once they do and the pages start turning, they often can't put it down.
And while reading a good book is second nature to many children, there are some who rarely, if ever, have let words in a book take them on an adventure.
The First Book organization not only wants children to read one book, but continue reading to help them develop imagination and possibly cope with challenging situations in real life.
And that's what has happened at least in some cases at the Delaware County Juvenile Detention Center, which has been a recipient of the First Book program since 2005, and is staffed with teachers from the Delaware County Intermediate Unit.
"We have students here who have never read books before," said Chuck Heitzer, a reading specialist at the detention center, which is for youths ages 10 to 18. "If they read a book or two, hopefully they will carry that forward when they are out of here."
The Philadelphia Chapter of First Book began in 1998 with the sole purpose of supplying books to schools in need. According to Carolyn Ashburn, the chairwoman of the Philadelphia Chapter of First Books, they can't give enough of them away.
"The kids are so excited when they get new books," Ashburn said. "For some, they don't own many things and many of them don't own books. To be able to keep it is really a new experience for them. Children develop a personal relationship with the books."
Heitzer and Joan Lockwood, the lead DCIU teacher at the Juvenile Detention Center for the past 16 years, have seen firsthand what it means for a child to keep a book.
"One particular student, she had read a book when she was in here," Lockwood said. "She said that one book really helped. She had been in a situation on the outside, and because she had read that book, she knew how to deal with that situation in a positive way."
What First Book needs to keep its positive momentum going is a positive financial situation. Anyone can donate online at firstbookphilly.org and there are also various fundraisers throughout the year. A major fundraiser for the Philadelphia area is a speed-reading contest from 6-8 p.m., Oct. 11 at the Union League in Philadelphia. Tickets are $30 for those 30 and under and $65 for those over 30. The contest features local celebrities reading Dr. Seuss books as fast as they can. Among those scheduled to read this year are Temple basketball coach Fran Dunphy and actors Terrence Howard and David Morse. Judges decide who the best speed reader is.
"It's a light-hearted and fun way to have some laughs and draw attention to the needs in the community," Ashburn said. "It's pretty funny."
While it's good to have fun, Ashburn says the organization takes its mission seriously. A donation of $2.50 is enough for one book, with 100 percent of donations going toward books. And once a group applies and receives grants for books, there is a follow-up program to make sure it is using the program correctly.
"Every board member is assigned to a group to help with any concerns," said Ashburn. "If it's a new group, we send a board member out to do a visit. We feel pretty good about telling donors we are careful to see that the money is used for books and that the books go home with the kids."
And that's one part of the program that Lockwood and Heitzer have made sure happens. They have instituted a reward program at the detention center, where if a child reads two books, they get to pick out a book from the First Book program and keep it as their own. But there are also times when they can take books home without having to earn them.
"During the main holidays, they can choose any book and it's not necessarily earned," Lockwood said. "Around Christmas or the end of the year, they can choose a special book for themselves."
But what is also special about taking books home is that there is potential for a ripple effect that can influence an entire family.
"Some use them as presents to give to their mother or siblings," Heitzer said. "And sometimes we have residents who have their own children that they can read to when they get home."
Last year, the Philadelphia Chapter of First Book donated more than 28,000 books to different schools and organizations. Since First Book is a national organization, it allows books to be ordered through a national organization to help keep costs down. Also, the books can be targeted for the appropriate reading levels and specific topics.
But the amount First Book can donate essentially depends on funding.
"Each year, we have been able to give out more and more books," Ashburn said. "We haven't funded every group as much as they all would like, but we've never had to say no to a group. Right now, we can really use the donations. We may be able to fund the next group that comes in, but we're just keeping up."

Laser weapon plus military grade ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) equals blasting enemy drones out of the sky.
This is an ingenious way to provide easily movable defense against the growing threat of attacks from enemy drones. Terrorist drone destroying Raytheon laser weapons mounted on military Polaris Defense ATVs could soon be destroying enemy drones before they can harm U.S. forces with explosives.
Rapidly driving an MRZR to support an area under attack by a swarm of small drones, it will look like the warrior has something resembling “R2D2” popping his head out of the backseat. But terrorists will quickly learn it is not a cute robot, it is a powerful drone slaying laser weapon. This isn’t the stuff of science fiction anymore. Last autumn the Raytheon and Polaris team proved that destroying drones with the MRZR HEL armed weapon works. As long as there is power, U.S. forces will never run out ammunition with a laser weapon.
This is an outstanding solution to immediately provide U.S. forces with more options to protect the force from these proliferating flying threats. The Polaris Defense MRZR will be able to reach teams in remote areas with difficult terrain and provide them a laser weapon for their arsenal. Raytheon’s Multi-Spectral Targeting System is a high energy laser (HEL) combined with electro-optical and infrared sensors.
Delivering 20 to 30 blasts on about the same electricity as a fridge, recent reports suggest the system can already detect an enemy drone at more than 16,400 feet to blast it out of the sky. U.S. forces could soon drive these to forward operating bases to protect teams there, to landing strips to protect arriving aircraft or position the MRZRs with HEL to protect MEDEVAC to make sure wounded are not prevented from reaching care by drones.

How do you escape the gravity of fear? When singer, songwriter, and best-selling author Stowe D. Shockey meets entrepreneur and "pilot of unique concepts" Calvin LeHew, she is fascinated with his rags-to-riches story, his positive outlook, and his ability to manifest dreams by the power of thought. Spending time with Calvin, transcribing his seminars, and writing his story brings to light the dreams Stowe has buried, along with fears she has carried. As cancer threatens not only the completion of the book but her very life, Stowe is forced to make some heart-wrenching decisions—with Calvin's help. The true story of Flying High was originally intended to chronicle the amazing life of one writer; remarkably, the process of its creation helped rescue the life of his co-author. The result of their experience is an uplifting story for the world—a story of personal growth, a tribute to divine guidance, and a reminder to be who you were born to be.
"If you are ready to fly high in health, happiness, wealth and a deep joy of living, read my friend Calvin's book..." --MARK VICTOR HANSEN—Bestselling Author: Chicken Soup For The Soul
"I loved reading Flying High. The authors share many beautiful truths, an abundance of inspiration, and numerous powerful lessons you will use immediately to improve the quality of your life. Give a copy to those you love." --BOB PROCTOR—Bestselling Author: You Were Born Rich
"Flying High is a true story of undeniable inspiration... is enriching and enlightening, a definite must read. Flying High gives us all hope through the true life stories of two extraordinary individuals who have overcome so much, and generously share the lessons they have learned along the way..." --RAYMOND MOODY, MD, PhD—Bestselling Author: Life After Life
"If you are struggling with adversity of any kind, whether sickness, financial, or just trying to figure out your purpose in this world, there's something precious in this story for you—a powerful dose of inspiration that will encourage you along your own journey. And if you simply want to experience a real-life ride from earthbound living, to the limitless potentials of God's open skies, then Flying High will put a song in your heart and take you soaring." --NAOMI JUDD—Five time Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter
"Calvin, your story is powerful and most inviting... anything I say about it is the equivalent of attempting to gild an already beautiful lily." --ASTRONAUT EDGAR MITCHELL—President: Institute of Noetic Sciences
"I really loved the book. I couldn't put it down. I started reading it before my surgery; I read it all the way to the time they rolled me into the surgery room! And then I picked it right back up as soon as I was conscious again. What a beautiful story, woven with so many life-altering lessons, and the ending gave me goose bumps. Thank You for sharing this beautiful book with us." --SANDY GALLAGHER—President/CEO LifeSuccess Group of Companies

Stop Lying, We All Know There Is Voter Fraud [OPINION]
When I write about voter fraud it upsets the termites that devour civil rights with their denials. President Obama's Justice Department prosecuted voter fraud.
The news magazine show 60 Minutes ran a typical anti-Trump hit piece this past Sunday night. They mocked the idea that there is voter fraud in the United States and they used their platform to cast all such claims into disrepute. Only a fool would worry about voter fraud and those who aren't fools are working to suppress legitimate votes by Americans who tend to vote Democrat.
Reality is much different from what some in the media would lead you to believe.
This past Friday, the Democrat Attorney General of New Jersey indicted a number of elected officials for their roles in a wide-ranging voter fraud conspiracy in the city of Paterson, NJ. Given the demographics of that city, the conspiracy stole the civil rights of minority voters who vote nearly always for Democrats.
We in Massachusetts know about voter fraud thanks to the work of President Obama's Justice Department investigation and conviction of a local elected official. Democrat State Representative Stephen "Stat" Smith of Everett pled guilty to stealing the civil rights of his neighbors through a multi-year voter fraud conspiracy.
Then-Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz, appointed by President Obama, said this about State Rep. Smith: “Fair and free elections are the foundation that this great nation was built upon. Our electoral system is unrivaled, and it is egregious that an elected member of our Commonwealth would rob his constituents of a fair and honest election”.
When Rep. Smith was in the Massachusetts legislature he served on the House committee that writes elections laws. Let that sink in. He was sentenced to four months in federal prison, a $20,000 fine, and barred from running for elected office for five years.
Voter fraud is a crime against our Republic and each citizen who honestly cast a ballot. President Trump is correct to defend our voting laws as was President Obama before him.

Back in May, I shared with you my fledgling garden along with some gardening tips. We’ve come a long way since then, so I thought it was high time for an update. We had an incredibly wet summer with record amounts of rain, which played a huge role in my gardening adventures this year. Spoiler: we had way too much rain.
In the Garden
This was the first year I was able to have a large garden plot, so I tested the soil a bit by planting plants sporadically to see what grew best where. Here’s how it all worked out:
- Potatoes: I had a terrific crop of potatoes. I dug out 15 pounds! Despite all of the rain we had this year, I only had two rotten potatoes in the ground. I’ll definitely plant potatoes again.
- Cherry Tomatoes: I planted three cherry tomato plants, and they have been major producers. We’ve loved having fresh bruschetta often straight from the garden. However, the plants became too large for my cages, so I’m going to have to rethink that for next year.
- Tomatoes: My tomatoes have not done well at all. We ordered them from a catalog that had big promises of large, wonderful tomatoes. So far, my plants haven’t even been big enough to cage. I haven’t been able to can a single tomato this year. It’s been highly disappointing. The rain was a huge factor in my disappointing tomato crop, but I think they would have done better if I hadn’t done the catalog order. I know it works great for some people, but I’m not willing to try again.
- Three Types of Lettuce: My lettuce grew very well during the spring, since it’s a cooler weather crop. While it was nice to be able to cut fresh lettuce whenever I wanted, I didn’t enjoy cleaning the leaves. Aphids were a huge problem for me, and I felt like I spent all of my time washing rather than enjoying my crop. I’m not sure if I’ll plant lettuce again.
- Three types of Onions: Once again, the rain mainly dominated this category of food for me. What did come up though, was good, albeit small, but good.
- Eggplant: Of my two eggplant plants, one drowned immediately and the other produced one eggplant before drowning.
- White Half Runner Beans: I’ve shared two methods of preserving fresh beans (canning and freezing) this week, but what I didn’t share with you is that I’ve had a pitiful crop of beans this year. We just had too much rain. I’ve picked beans twice, but I wasn’t able to get a “mess” either time. I’ll be pulling up the vines soon and harvesting what’s left on the vines. I usually only like to grow beans every other year, but it looks like I’ll be trying again next year.
- Squash: I had squash for about two weeks before every single plant drowned. I should have had squash for at least two or three months.
- Zucchini: My zucchini plants all drowned before they could even think about producing.
- Lots of Peppers: Some of my peppers have done well, but some drowned and Travis accidentally mowed some down. I bought several varieties of bell peppers, but, so far, they’ve all been green.
- Cucumbers: Cucumbers are my absolute, most-favorite food, so it was disappointing when they drowned. They lasted about three weeks.
- Watermelon: I actually have three baby watermelons! I’m very much looking forward to enjoying my watermelons in a few weeks.
- Cantaloupe: The rain sadly claimed my cantaloupe.
- Strawberries: The strawberries were another win for the rain. I’m going to try planing strawberries early in the season next year in hanging baskets.
- Peaches and Cream Corn: I managed to get about 15 ears of corn. Not great, but at least the rain didn’t completely ruin my crop.
- Broccoli: My broccoli was beautiful. It was perfect. And then it rained for a week straight and I couldn’t get out to harvest in time. In hindsight, I should have put on rain boots and trudged through the mud. I’m actually considering growing a fall crop.
- Cauliflower: My cauliflower didn’t do well at all due to the rain.
- Herbs: My herbs are beautiful. The raised bed has allowed for better drainage. Normally, raised beds have to be watered daily, but I’ve only had to water twice.
- Grapes: I haven’t done anything with the grapes this year. I’ve heard that all of the rain made the grapes incredibly sour, which is definitely ringing true for my grapes. Plus, they’re shriveling very quickly. I need to do some research on raising grapes.
So, if you noticed, too much rain was a reoccurring theme for my garden this year. Luckily, there’s always next year!
2014 Garden Plans
Obviously, I have no control over the amount of rain we receive, but I do have control over some parts of my garden. Here’s what I hope to do differently:
- The bottom half of my garden mostly washed away during early spring/summer rains. I might shorten my garden next year, or I might plant early crops on one end to account for spring rains and plant later crops below. I’m not sure.
- I plan to focus on planting only what I know I’ll use. For instance, more cucumbers, less lettuce.
- I’ve got to find a better solution for tomato cages. I have some ideas, but I’m definitely open to suggestions.
- I really need to learn how to use the tiller. This year, it’s been too wet to till, but I’m hoping to get out there next year. I think Travis tilled once this year.
This wraps up Garden Week. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Gardening is a lot of work, but I always find it to be fulfilling and rewarding. In this season of our lives, it’s exactly how I want to spend my time.
How did your gardens fare this year?

Molly Soda [EP]
In a 2002 interview with Olga Sladeckova for Pennyblackmusic about the formation of The Jesus and Mary Chain, William Reid stated, “It was perfect timing because there weren’t any guitar bands. Everybody was making this electronic pop music.” Decades later, we seem to be facing the same conundrum. But, whoever told you all of this dreamy, gazey, electro-pop had to be all light and soft and airy has never listened to San Francisco’s DSTVV. Loud and distorted without sacrificing any of the sheen, DSTVV’s Molly Soda EP is a real rude awakening for all of this dream-pop nonsense. Wake up! Your cotton-cloud, powder-blue sky is falling.
Stream the entire Molly Soda EP below and buy the tape from Teen Witch. Give me the psycho. You can keep the candy.
DREAM INSIDE YOUR CANYONS
Mmm, that “found” sound intro to sampled orchestra revealing oblivion deserted savage folk. Raw and bare knuckles pleasantly brush metal strings and post-blues moaning tales of what self and comfort mean.
Robert Magill is at it again with DREAM INSIDE YOUR CANYONS on Deep Tapes, y’all. So fresh and to the point. Coming down off his earlier 2012 album DEDICATED TO THOSE WHO RECENTLY LIVED, Robert is now tossing out his newest works From The Year 1842 to the luckiest label to snag it. And if his little licks on guitar don’t persuade your ear, his sax is something to breathe to, aside from a little tapping and spastic dancing.
But, when it comes down to it, Robert Magill got the voice of a man. Of humanity. Of a brother who has coated his throat in honey whiskey since he was 7 or 8 or 9 and grew into the most noon-o’clock-shadowed cherub singer this side of the West Coast. Err, I’m on the East Coast. I meant his coast. And the coast is all clear! Right? So, check out his freshest three tracks on DREAM INSIDE YOUR CANYONS, and keep your eyes peeled for his newest material in the months to come.
“Don’t Deny Your Heart”
You know those Sims music videos that are all over YouTube? The new Hot Chip video for “Don’t Deny Your Heart” is like that, except a lot weirder. Watch as the band gathers on the tour bus to play a FIFA-style soccer — I’m sorry, FOOTBALL — video game. At first, things seem normal enough, or at least as normal as any game with smooshed-faced characters could possibly be. But then things erupt into a giant ball of, ahem, “brotherly” love. The results are hilarious and very uncanny valley-ish — although the best part of the clip has got to be the cheeky commentary, as well as the band’s reactions to the absurd spectacle.
Pick Your Own Poison
Everybody’s getting younger and it’s incredibly annoying. This guy’s 20, this guy’s 18, and this guy’s 15, which is just insulting. Nevertheless, Soulection have found more precocious talent for the pile with their 21st release. Waldo is 20 and proves his versatility over an eclectic buncha beats courtesy of Sango. From the man himself:
Honestly, Pick Your Own Poison is about finding your lane in life. Whether if the lane you choose to pursue is right or wrong it’s still the poison you chose. It’s also about my life and the poison I chose.

“CHROME_DREAMS” [post-vapor demo]
Walking away, shelling well gambled wampum in your wallet, you switch out cassettes and nod to the disintegrating tape-recorded version of Usher’s “OMG.” The parking lot is dark, and the reel continues rotting as you pass newer cars, so ticks and tings flicker in and out of the music and magnet. Looking at that honey photo taken earlier, your sweatpants get a little tighter, and a speckled row of cell phone screen lights linger past the corner you just came from behind. Turning down Usher’s stretched voice enhances your hearing: shuffling feet surrounding you and echoing, distant smooth jazz matching electronic dings from the flea-market casino. A silhouette of a man approaches and snags the photo out your hand. “It’s her. It’s her I was righ— fuuhahahuuck,” he says, spits, and points at your brow, “Ya done.” Running across cars becomes the best escape route, and the sound of flattening metal and alarms drives gamblers from their games. One of the cell phones chasing you nabs your ankle, and hitting your head on a car’s hood has you seeing pockets of dark matter. Out of spite for their stepped-on cars, gamblers are cheering on the gang taking shots at your gut while holding you down, and a few cheerers approach and slug a few too. The police arrive. You see this in a bright migraine light, and there’s a lot of handcuff clicking. They stand you up dripping, but you still thick, oh-me.

Greetings gals and guys!
With book 13 I am revisiting The Gateway Through Which They Came author Heather Marie.
The battle of good vs. evil wages on for Aiden Ortiz in this final installment of the Gateway Series: The Gateway of Light and Darkness. With the Dark Priest defeated, and the Brethren of Shadows refusing to forfeit calling upon the Darkness, the Brethren are determined more than ever to discover a way to banish the Men of Light for good. And as the Dark Priest’s curse invading Aiden’s veins continues to take on a life of its own, he finds himself in a standoff between his own kind, and the Brethren that want to recruit him for all the wrong reasons. Accompanied by fellow Gateway, Julie Martin, and his best friends Trevor and Evan, seventeen-year-old Aiden prepares himself for the battle of his life.
Protecting those he loves, and learning to put aside his differences for his father in order to learn the ways of the Light, Aiden begins to realize that the thing endangering their lives might not be the threat of the Brethren alone, but the thing taking shape inside of him —readying to unleash itself upon them all.
About Heather Marie:
Heather Marie lives in Northern California with her incredibly hard working husband, whom she loves ridiculous amounts. When she isn’t writing, she spends majority of her time reading or planning her next Harry Potter marathon. Heather has always been a fan of the darker side of things most people shy away from. With her love for the classic Universal Monsters, and the slasher films she watched throughout her childhood, she found herself fascinated by the macabre.
Though she hopes to expand her work to YA dark contemporary in the future, Heather considers herself a writer of stories that showcase the unknown, and at times, the harshness that is reality. She adores her troubled characters and her ghostly fiends, creating worlds that are both strange and beautiful. All of this with a healthy dose of romance, of course.

Remember those magic moments in class when the teacher pulled down the blinds, lowered the lights and fired up the VCR or movie projector? For a certain percentage of students, K through grad school, movie days are more likely to turn into naptime.
But kids who find themselves dozing off in class might be surprised to learn their teachers are often just as sleep-deprived, according to a recent survey.
The online poll done by HarrisInteractive found that 51 percent of 1,350 kindergarten-through-12th grade teachers from around the country reported being drowsy or falling asleep while at work, and 43 percent said they’ve been so tired that they changed their lesson plan to show a movie or had the class do “busy work” because they didn’t feel they could handle the day’s instruction.
Eighty-eight percent of the teachers in the survey, sponsored by the drug firm Sepracor, said they have trouble falling or staying asleep at least some of the time, but just one in 10 think they have insomnia.
“Those numbers for symptoms of insomnia are all pretty high for any adult population,” said Dr. Thomas Roth, director of the sleep disorders program at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. Studies suggest that about a third of the population suffers from sleep disruption and about 10 percent have some degree of insomnia.
On the other hand, teachers in the survey appreciate the value of a good night’s rest, with 97 percent saying it’s important to their ability to focus and concentrate and do their best at work. A similar proportion said they encourage their students to get a good night’s sleep before a test or competition.
Roth said he hasn’t studied teachers specifically, “but one of the biggest factors that predisposes people to sleep problems is stress, and I think a lot of teachers do work under a lot of stress and bring that stress home with them at night.”
That’s been the case for Brigid Adams, a first-grade teacher at the Golden Door Charter School in Jersey City, N.J. “Last year was just crazy for me. There was not a night for months that I got a full night’s sleep, three to five hours a night was typical,” she said.
Last year, Adams classroom was used for an after-school daycare program, “so I had to take everything home with me, and then I’d forget things that I needed and be worrying all night that I wasn’t completely prepared and just felt overwhelmed. This year, I can stay late at school and work, so the stress level is down a little bit.”
Like many people with trouble sleeping, Adams, 28, hasn’t discussed the problem with her doctor (72 percent of those in the survey hadn’t either), and rarely takes anything to help her sleep because she’s concerned about side effects and feeling groggy the next day.
“You just need to be on top of your game so much as a teacher, it’s so physically demanding to be alert and patient at all times, particularly with the younger ages,” said the five-year veteran.
Although he’s a sleep specialist, Roth says he believes primary care doctors ought to be able to handle most patients’ sleep difficulties, if they’d just ask people about it during routine visits. “There’s a lot of different things people can try, different therapies and medicines, and it doesn’t take any more time to talk with a patient about sleep than it does to discuss their diet,” he said.
Of course, that’s true for kids, too.
“If we don’t ask about sleep and try to optimize sleep patterns in kids struggling academically, then we aren’t doing our jobs,” said Dr. Gahan Fallone, lead author of a recent study that had teachers rate a group of 74 elementary and middle school students. after they’d gotten as little as six and a half hour s sleep a night and again after they’d gotten at least 10 hours sleep.
Although the teachers didn’t know who had been kept up late, they had no trouble seeing the difference in recall, learning and attention to tasks, according to Fallone, who did the work at Brown University and is now at the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in Springfield, Mo.
“Even in the first grade, I’ve had kids that I had to call their parents about because they’re falling asleep every day in class,” Adams said.
Fallone said, “There’s a pretty steady decline in the amount of sleep kids get once they start school, and it’s scary to look at how little sleep kids actually get once they become teenagers.”
Roth said while developing good sleep habits should come from parents first, he also thinks schools need to reinforce the importance of sleep in health classes. “How are kids supposed to find out about good sleep habits? In my daughter’s high school hygiene book, there’s like 400 pages on nutrition and about two on sleep. They need to balance that a bit more.”

An unholy alliance of truthists, sectarians, and voting system fanatics, led by an unwilling reject of the Church of Scientology, have used the new governance structure to take control of the commanding heights of Pacifica’s management.
From Farce to Tragedy
The New Crisis at Pacifica
By IAIN BOAL
On September 17 the Governance Committee of the Pacifica National Board passed a resolution expressly designed to find out whether Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now! program is getting CIA funding through covert channels like the Ford Foundation for suppressing the “truth” about the 9/11 “over-up” The author of the resolution, Chris Condon, made it clear that he wrote a motion on funding disclosure specifically to find out "where the hell Amy Goodman's money is coming from".
Condon’s campaign for reelection to the KPFK Local Station Board in Los Angeles is endorsed by the current interim Executive Director of Pacifica and chair of the Pacifica National Board, Grace Aaron. Despite being thrown out of the Church of Scientology, Aaron still publicly identifies herself as “a follower of the teachings of L Ron Hubbard”.
What on earth is going on here? Listeners to the largest independent radio network in the US, whose broadcast signals are powerful enough to reach a fifth of the entire population, are no strangers to faction fights among staff and local boards, especially at the largest stations, WBAI (New York), KPFA (Berkeley), and KPFK (Los Angeles). But veterans of the now legendary 1999 crisis could be forgiven for thinking that Pacifica had safely resumed its mission of promoting understanding between peoples and individuals through peaceable dialogue. Many will be dismayed to learn that Pacifica is once again on the edge of the abyss.
In some ways it’s 1999 redux, when a faction under the leadership of Mary Frances Berry, then chair of the Pacifica National Board and former chair of the US Civil Rights Commission, staged a power grab that involved intimidation, lockouts, secret surveillance, armed guards, firings at the local stations, and a barrowload of lawsuits. The takeover triggered a grassroots campaign to save Pacifica, with its epicenter in Berkeley (a “rat’s nest”, declared Berry) but vitally dependent on the strategic sense and tactical savvy of a trio of campaigners on the East coast, Juan Gonzalez, Dan Coughlin and Denis Moynihan. The obstreperous street-level resistance came as a shock to the chair of the Board, who knew little about radio and even less about the original vision that impelled the founders of Pacifica.
Their idea of exploring the springs of human conflict through radical dialogics was born in the camps and prisons that housed conscientious objectors to World War 2. The invention of “listener sponsorship”, the Cold War rhetoric of “free speech” and the identitarian fetish of “community” all came later. Pacifica’s deeper, intertwined taproots were anarcho-syndicalism and Kierkegaardian poetic witness. NPR…not.
A history of the airwaves reveals their special attraction to junior military officers, state propagandists, authoritarians of various stripes, and people with something to sell. Many of the footsoldiers in the 1999 putsch at Pacifica did indeed have their eyes on the microphones, but there was another far larger prize now in sight, although publicly denied – the broadcasting licenses themselves. The network’s five licenses were immensely valuable in the newly deregulated media market, the result of Clinton’s Telecommunications Act of 1996. The New York license alone, with its powerful transmitter on the Empire State Building and massive earprint across a vast metropolitan area, was reckoned to be worth up to 0 million in the hot new radio market. Seize the Pacifica airwaves in order to sell them: a very neoliberal coup!
The 1999 takeover ultimately failed, after more than a year of fierce struggle, thanks to the efforts and energies of thousands of listeners and supporters across the country, and an outpouring of support from around the globe. The coalition was ad hoc and fragile but at the end of it, everybody agreed that such a thing should never happen again. The banner under which many fought to defend the network was “democratize Pacifica”, whatever that was taken to mean.
Ironically the “new democracy” installed at Pacifica, following the debacle of 1999, has resulted in the very outcome it was intended to prevent. Under the revised governance structure and byelaw changes, a small number of listener-subscribers and staff elect biannually a 25 member Local Station Board. The logic of such “democracy” entails a tiny fraction of listeners electing a board with a great deal of power. In the name of proportional representation, through the liberal mechanism of the single transferable vote, a disproportionate weighting is given to the esperantists, propeller heads, world government paranoiacs, and stranded Maoists who are regularly elected with as few as two hundred votes out of the many tens of thousands of listeners at each station. A case of crackpot electoralism beyond parody, the last election cost upward of 0,000, including the inevitable attendant lawsuits - a grotesque misuse of listeners’ money, who expect their subscriptions to go to programming.
If the Save Pacifica movement of 1999 included some exotic creatures from the wilder shores of American political culture, this time around an unholy alliance of truthists, sectarians, and voting system fanatics, led by an unwilling reject of the Church of Scientology, have used the new governance structure to take control of the commanding heights of Pacifica’s management.
The results are dismal. The current regime at Pacifica champions fiscal responsibility, but the reality is quite different. Since Aaron’s cabal has come to power, the financial situation has markedly deteriorated. Spending on salaries and consultants at the Pacifica National Office has jumped by 40 per cent; these positions have mostly gone to board cronies without even a pro forma gesture towards open hiring. Pacifica is behind in payments to Free Speech Radio News and Democracy Now. In just the month of July, WBAI (where the General Manager doubles as Pacifica’s Chief Financial Officer) was almost K over budget.
Under Aaron’s tenure, the stations have been under serious pressure to increase listenership and fundraising by offering miracle cures and 9/11 conspiracist DVDs as donor “thank you gifts”. Pacifica station WBAI in New York made tens of thousands of dollars on gifts promising protection from fungus-causing aerosols that the government is supposedly spraying on its population. It is also symptomatic that at the same time that Aaron favors depoliticized self-help shows, she is reported to fulminate against “pro-Palestinian, pro-immigrant” public affairs programming on the network.
Notwithstanding elements of farce and a descent into snake oil peddling, there is an enormous amount at stake in the struggle for the soul of Pacifica. Despite the ascendancy of the internet, radio is still the most accessible mass medium, and the Pacifica network is the only mass medium in the US that belongs to antagonists of the present order. For this reason alone, if we care about the fate of “the left”, then we should care about Pacifica as a space of opposition to capital and empire. In a commercial desert, it has over the years been a beacon of the radio arts, and it continues to be home to such oases of passionate analysis and lucid exchange as C.S.Soong and Eddie Yuen’s Against the Grain and Doug Henwood’s Behind the News. Nowhere else could Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan, veterans’ eye witness accounts of the occupations, have been aired. Even in its weakened state and in the face of further plunder and enclosure of the spectrum and the fading of the high hopes for indymedia, Pacifica is worth fighting for.
To be sure, the battle for Pacifica is being fought on ground not of our own choosing. The entire landscape of communications needs to be contested. The major historic defeat, resulting in wholesale privatization of the spectrum, happened back in 1934. I stand by remarks I made in front of the Federal Communications Commission [reported in CounterPunch, May Day 2003] at a hearing on media ownership in the wake of the fresh round of looting of the public airwaves that followed the 1996 Telecommunications Act: “The FCC is not the cause of this disaster; in its current condition it is just another symptom…Regulation at this stage is disreputable; it is like demanding regulation of the slave-quarters, instead of abolition. The 1934 Act was bad enough; the1996 Telecommunications Act is a scandal. The whole thing stinks; the corpse is rotten. Let us take it out for burial, and start over.”
My conclusion before the commissioners that day seems no less true now: “The flourishing of life in this country and around the planet now depends on the reappropriation of the commons, and that includes - because the means of communication without limits is the very condition of possibility of all else - the seizing back of the electromagnetic spectrum, the de-commodification of the airwaves.”

It has been 14 years since Bitcoin’s whitepaper was published. The crypto community is celebrating the occasion and noting how far the asset has come.
Bitcoin inspired the crypto market present today, with its ethos of decentralization seen in everything from DeFi to Web3.
Bitcoin first hit $1 in 2011, crossing $67,000 only a decade later. Despite many dismissals as a fad and a bubble from those in traditional finance, it has endured.
The asset continues to grow stronger as more institutions invest and countries adopt it as legal tender.
The crypto community is celebrating the 14th anniversary of the publishing of the Bitcoin whitepaper, which happened on October 31, 2008. The market’s original cryptocurrency has had an eventful life, despite being a remarkably young asset. It has gone from being the lovechild of a few cypherpunks to an investment vehicle that even the biggest institutions want — and even some countries.
Bitcoin’s journey has been the shared experience of many. First of the ardent few who had strong convictions in the asset, and with every passing year, a growing throng of investors. As a fundamentally decentralized system, which today’s market can trace itself back to, the network is only worth as much as the individual peers who make up its network.
The first of those individuals was Satoshi Nakamoto. Perhaps it was a group of individuals, but regardless, the enigmatic entity has sparked a new wave of exchanging value, visible in everything from decentralized finance to Web3.
Satoshi’s presence still hangs over the Bitcoin market, from the cryptic newspaper headline in the genesis block to the limited number of forum posts made. The newspaper headline, which comes from The Times, refers to banks being bailed out by the British government, suggesting a displeasure in contemporary finance. It also hints that Satoshi may be British.
The whitepaper itself seems innocuous enough, perhaps even a tad too academic, to think that it would one day reach a market value of $1 trillion. Bitcoin has fallen from that peak, but the idea of a peer-to-peer currency remains strong. The whitepaper solved the difficult double-spending problem, with the rest being history.
Becoming Digital Gold
The early days of Bitcoin only had a small community of crypto enthusiasts backing it. It was not seen as a store of value or digital gold, as it is now commonly known. Hal Finney, a cypherpunk that worked closely with Satoshi on Bitcoin, was the first to receive Bitcoin from the creator. He was next after Satoshi to run a node, saying in a now-famous tweet that he was “running bitcoin.”
Not long after the Bitcoin network was launched, Laszlo Hanyecz made the first commercial transaction using Bitcoin. This was a more amusing circumstance that even gets its own celebration: Bitcoin Pizza Day.
Hanyecz purchased two pizzas from Papa John’s with 10,000 BTC — a sum now worth over $207 million as on October 31.
His Bitcoin forum post is also rather charming. There have been very few updates about him since the incident, but he does have a place in Bitcoin’s history.
An Experiment Turns Into a Revolution
Bitcoin’s history has consistently been marked by major milestones as it continues its inevitable march toward adoption. The asset first hit $1 in 2011 — and ten years later, cross $67,000. There have been many ups and downs in between, but Bitcoin always comes out on top.
The milestones that Bitcoin has reached include attracting the likes of Square, Tesla, and MicroStrategy, all of which have invested in it. The last of those three is among the most invested in Bitcoin, though Square CEO Jack Dorsey is famously a supporter of the cryptocurrency. With such big firms entering the crypto market, it feels inevitable that the asset will only grow further.
Then there are entire countries adopting Bitcoin: most famously El Salvador making the cryptocurrency legal tender, but the Central African Republic as well. These add to the conviction that Bitcoin will be seen as an asset that stands alongside stocks and real estate.
It’s been simultaneously a long and short 14 years for Bitcoin. It shows no signs of slowing down, and as the younger, tech-savvy population takes over, there is much to look forward to.

Trump is also due to meet Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during a busy schedule. The meeting with Erdoğan is likely to be particularly fiery, given US concerns that Turkey is buying an anti-aircraft system from Russia.
The climate emergency will also be on the agenda. May has told us that she’ll be raising the issue with other world leaders, having recognised the impact of climate change.

Investors around the globe are trying to square the White House’s ‘good-cop’/’bad-cop’ commentary on the trade war with China, says analyst Ken Odeluga of City Index.
Trump’s “Plan B” is to “take in billions and billions of dollars a month” more from China while doing “less and less business” with the second-largest economy. His Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin remained “hopeful” on Wednesday.
Other Washington hawks bat away Beijing’s insistence on a ‘balanced’ deal. Little wonder that ample dissonance accompanies the wide expectation that a tariff ceasefire will be agreed this weekend.
European stock markets have closed after a day of subdued trading.
The Stoxx 600 index, which covers Europe’s biggest companies, ended the day basically unchanged. Investors are hunkering down ahead of the formal start of the G20 summit on Friday.
Healthcare and some consumer goods makers rallied, matching gains in America. That’s because only two Democratic challengers to become the next US president backed the idea of replacing private health insurance with “Medicare for All”.
Ellesmere Port wins Astra deal...IF Brexit goes smoothly
Big news in the UK car sector -- Vauxhall’s Ellesmere Port plant in the North West of England has won the chance to manufacture its new Astra vehicle.
That’s a big win for the plant, which employs 1,100 people, and has beaten off competition from a rival plant in Gliwice, Poland.
BUT there’s a catch... the plan is conditional on the terms of Britain’s exit from the European Union. That suggests that a no-deal Brexit would scupper the plan.
Vauxhall’s owner, PSA, says:
The decision on the allocation to the Ellesmere Port plant will be conditional on the final terms of the UK’s exit from the European Union and the acceptance of the New Vehicle Agreement, which has been negotiated with the Unite Trade Union.
PSA has also decided to manufacture the new Astra at its factory in Russelsheim, Germany.
Motoring journalist Richard Aucock says it’s a real boost for the UK auto industry.
Donald Trump is due to hold meetings with a series of world leaders at the G20 summit -- including several fellow ‘strong men’.
Top of the list is president Xi Jinping. If the WSJ is right, Xi will urge Trump to accept China’s proposals to pause the trade war and resume talks. The success, or otherwise, of those talks will swiftly move the financial markets.
Trump will also speak with Vladimir Putin - the first face-to-face meeting since the Mueller investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election concluded.
He’s also due to have a “working breakfast” Saturday with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman - where rising tensions with Iran will surely be discussed.
It’s just been confirmed that America’s economy grew at a steady pace in the first quarter of 2019.
US GDP expanded at an annualised rate of 3.1% in January-March, says the commerce department in its latest assessment, matching earlier readings.
The figures show that trade made a positive contribution to growth, with exports up 5.4% and imports down 1.9%. That should please the White House, and may show that president Trump’s trade war is having an impact - forcing US consumers and businesses to buy less from abroad.
However, the report also shows that consumer spending slowed, rising by just 0.9% in the quarter. Spending on durable items, such as cars and computers, declined by 2.4%.
Businesses expanded their inventories, boosting growth, while investment by companies also rose.
Donald Trump is also due to meet Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the G20.
That could be a challenging meeting, as the US is preparing sanctions on Turkey if it goes ahead with the purchase of a Russian anti-aircraft missile system.
Kim Catechis, portfolio manager at Legg Mason affiliate Martin Currie, predicts fireworks:
“Whilst Turkey is facing some serious fundamental challenges, geopolitical events are complicating matters further. Ankara and Washington are on a collision course over the imminent deployment of Russian missiles and its support for Iran, Russia and Qatar versus the US- supported Saudi Arabia and Israel.
“Trump and Erdogan are meeting at the G20 in Japan this weekend. We expect this meeting to be fiery and believe it will result in sanctions, knocking investor confidence even further.”
Donald Trump has been whisked from the airport to dinner, with Australia’s prime minister Scott Morrison (fresh from his re-election).
On the US side of the table is US treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin, national security advisor John Bolton and trade representative Robert Lighthizer, along with White House advisors Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
Morrison is accompanied by finance minister Mathias Cormann, trade minister Simon Birmingham and Australia’s Washington ambassador Joe Hockey.
Morrison is expected to urge Trump to end the trade war with China. Yesterday he vowed that Australia wouldn’t be a “passive bystander”, saying:
“The impact of any further deterioration of the relationship will not be limited to these two major powers.
The balance between strategic engagement and strategic competition in the US-China relationship has shifted. This was inevitable.”


To cut a 45 degree angle with a table saw, set the blade to 45 degrees and make your cut.
- Place your workpiece against the fence at a 45 degree angle
- Line up the blade with the mark you want to cut at
- Turn on the saw and slowly lower the blade into the workpiece until it reaches full depth
- Apply steady pressure as you guide the piece through the blade, keeping it flush against the fence
- 5) As you near the end of the cut, stop applying pressure to avoid kickback and let the momentum of the blade finish cutting through your material
How to Cut 45 Degree Angle With Circular Saw
Table of Contents
If you’re looking to cut a 45 degree angle with a circular saw, there are a few things you’ll need to keep in mind. First, you’ll need to make sure that your saw is properly positioned – the blade should be lined up with the cutting line on your material. Next, you’ll need to apply pressure to the saw as you start the cut, and then continue applying pressure evenly as you move along the line.
Finally, be sure to follow through with the cut until it’s complete. With these tips in mind, cutting a 45 degree angle with a circular saw should be a breeze!
What is the Easiest Way to Cut a 45 Degree Angle?
There are a few different ways that you can cut a 45 degree angle, but some may be easier than others depending on what tools you have available. If you have a miter saw, this is probably the easiest way to go about it. You can just adjust the blade to 45 degrees and make your cut.
If you don’t have a miter saw, you can use a regular circular saw, but you’ll need to make sure your cuts are precise. Another option is to use a handsaw, but this will take more time and effort than the other methods.
How Do You Cut a 45 Degree Bevel on a Table Saw?
There are a few different ways that you can cut a 45 degree bevel on a table saw. The most common way is to use a special jig, which is essentially a guide that helps you keep the workpiece at the correct angle as you feed it through the blade. Another option is to use a sled, which is similar to a jig but allows for more precision and stability when cutting bevels.
Finally, if your table saw has an adjustable fence, you can simply tilt the blade to 45 degrees and make cuts as normal. Whichever method you choose, just be sure to take your time and make accurate measurements so that your cuts are precise.
How to Cut 45 Degree Angles on a Table Saw
If you’re looking to cut a 45 degree angle with your table saw, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, make sure your blade is at the correct angle. Next, use a miter gauge or fence to guide your material as you make the cut.
And finally, take your time and be careful not to force the material through the blade. With these tips in mind, cutting a 45 degree angle with your table saw should be a breeze!

In anticipation of the poet’s arrest, his creations were concealed by inventive means – sewn into the insides of cushions and shoes, or hidden in mattresses and saucepans. The police confiscated most of his papers, but others were smuggled out, or hidden surreptitiously in obscure locations. The most important poems were inscribed where even the wiliest investigator could not find them – in the memory of a devoted reader, who would pass them on.
In her memoir Hope Against Hope, Nadezhda Mandelstam, the wife of poet Osip Mandelstam, recounts the efforts she made to protect the work of her husband. The replication and dissemination of prohibited poetry became part of a culture of samizdat – an underground method of publishing that sought to evade strict censorship in the Soviet Union. We can read Mandelstam’s poetry today because individuals took great risks to reproduce and share his work, often using ingenious methods.
Gramophone records made of X-ray film were self-published
The term samizdat (‘self-published’) was coined in opposition to gosizdat (‘state-published’), a word stamped on every official publication. Samizdat encompassed a wide range of informally circulated material, and took various forms: political tracts, religious texts, novels, poetry, speeches and music. A related term is tamizdat (‘published over there’) – material smuggled into the USSR, such as ‘x-ray’ phonograph records of prohibited music, including rock’n’roll and compositions by banned émigrés. These soon appeared on the black market.

The practice of bootleg tape recording (magnitizdat) was less risky, as Soviet citizens were permitted to own a reel-to-reel recorder, and the majority of content was not overtly political, largely comprising of songs by solo Russian singers known as bards. Whereas the readership of written samizdat rarely exceeded the thousands, up to a million citizens listened to reel recordings. One of the most popular and subversive bards, Aleksandr Galich, used his songs to criticise “the fairy godmothers of censorship” and laud the role of underground media:
Untruth roams from field to field,
sharing notes with neighbouring Untruths,
But that which is sung softly, booms,
What’s read in whispers, thunders.
Although the term samizdat refers specifically to the Soviet period, most notably after the death of Stalin in 1953, unauthorised publishing has a long tradition in Russia. In the late 19th Century, students circulated radical pamphlets denouncing the Tsar, and after the failed revolution of 1905 and the subsequent crackdown on civil liberties, texts deemed subversive were shared widely. From the time of World War One, interrupted in Russia by the revolution of 1917 and a civil war that ran until 1922, considerable restrictions were placed on printed material.
Samizdat reflected the changing political, cultural and geographical landscape of the Soviet state. Some of the material protested the suppression of Christian denominations (Orthodox, Catholic, Baptist) or made the case for ethnic groups seeking self-determination (Jews, Crimean Tartars, Volga Germans). Slavophile samizdat opposed the ethnic heterogeneity of the Soviet Union, in favour of autocratic Russian orthodoxy and Slavic supremacy – invariably tinged with racism and anti-Semitism – and against Western political concepts such as democracy and socialism.
Haphazard self-publishing techniques resulted in an inelegant look – but authenticity
The complete process was summarised pithily by dissident Vladimir Bukovsky: “Samizdat: I write it myself, edit it myself, censor it myself, publish it myself, distribute it myself, and spend jail time for it myself”. This popular definition makes samizdat sound like a solitary act, but the danger arose when each individual created a copy for others. If intercepted, these documents could often be traced by the authorities, as most personal typewriters had to be registered with the state. Back-up copies were occasionally made on microfilm, which was smuggled out for publication before being smuggled back in.

Books and pamphlets were copied on carbon paper, with up to nine sheets interleaved with blank pages, making 10 in all – the legal maximum. To maximise space, the type was stretched to the margins in both width and length. Paper shortages were frequent and those who purchased more than modest quantities were liable to be reported. Each recipient in the chain was expected to make at least four copies, but was warned against trying to trace the author, lest they be taken for a police informer.
The haphazard and hurried technique made for an inelegant end product: blurry type, wrinkled pages and nondescript covers. Over time, this clandestine work of production attained a cultural cachet, as a work of verisimilitude against state-sanctioned publications, which were pristine but anodyne, and whose allure was limited by the censor’s stamp of approval.
Soviet authorities said self-published works were unfair because the writer was unpaid
The act of replication enabled copiers to immerse more deeply than during a casual perusal. Some even took it upon themselves to make alternations or omissions in the text. Such slippery authorship was reinforced by the fact that many writers, fearful for their safety, used pseudonyms and did not take credit for their work. This situation was exploited by the Communist Party itself, which argued that the lack of intellectual copyright made it unfair to disseminate the material. This imaginatively cynical tactic suggested that the state was protecting writers from exploitation – only a ‘bourgeois’ author could afford to give away their labour for free.

Perhaps the first major political document to appear in samizdat was Khruschev’s ‘secret speech’ of 1956 – a denunciation of Stalin that marked the beginning of a political and cultural thaw. This process took time but became evident in 1962 with the approved publication of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s novel One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (1962). Published in the literary journal Novy Mir (New World), the book offered a portrait of daily life in a prison camp (gulag) under Stalin – a subject previously beyond the bounds of public discussion.
Two steps back
The gulag system was largely dismantled by Khruschev, who weakened the secret police and initiated cross-border cultural exchanges. It was under Khrushchev’s rule that samizdat gained prominence in the Soviet Union, as the production of material not in accordance with official ideology no longer carried a death sentence.
But Khrushchev’s liberalising reforms met fierce resistance from hardliners, and in 1964 he was ousted by his former protégé Leonid Brezhnev. Almost immediately, under the direction of Yuri Andropov (head of the KGB, and Brezhnev’s eventual successor), censorship increased and dissidents were imprisoned or exiled. In 1965, two writers – Yuli Daniel and Andrei Sinyavsky – were arrested for tamizdat, publishing fiction abroad under a pseudonym. A transcript of the closed-door court proceedings was obtained by poets Alexander Ginzburg and Yuri Galanskov, who compiled a White Book documenting the trial.

The crackdown was met with protests – the first spontaneous political demonstration in 30 years, along with two open letters, circulated in samizdat form, one of which pleaded with Brezhnev to resist a return to Stalinism, signed by prominent figures such as composer Dmitri Shostakovich. It was only a matter of time before Ginzburg and Glanskov were themselves put on trial for the publication and distribution of samizdat material.
The return to stricter censorship gave impetus to samizdat, as works permitted under Khrushchev were forced back underground. In 1968, a group of intellectuals in Moscow started the longest-running and best-known samizdat periodical, the Chronicle of Current Events. In 65 issues over 15 years, the Chronicle meticulously detailed violations of civil rights and judicial procedure, including 424 trials, in which 753 people were convicted; not one of the accused was acquitted.
The Chronicle’s editors did not advocate the overthrow of the regime and maintained that under the 1936 Soviet Constitution, their publication was legal. The authorities did not agree: editors and contributors were sent to labour camps, psychiatric hospitals, or into exile. The Chronicle’s first editor, Natalya Gorbanevskaya, was arrested after taking part in the 1968 Red Square protest against the crushing of the Prague Spring. Gorbanevskaya became an international cause célèbre: US singer Joan Baez praised her during concerts.
The dry, concise style of the Chronicle intentionally contrasted with the denunciations of official state newspaper Pravda. Despite reporting harrowing testimonies, the Chronicle promised to make “every effort to achieve a calm, restrained tone” and a “strictly factual style” – as demonstrated by its legalistic headings (‘Arrests, Searches, Interrogations’, ‘In Prisons and Camps’) and its correction of even the smallest error.
Samizdat usually looked innocuous – or even like inept personal correspondence – to avoid censors looking for more professional-appearing work (Credit: Alamy)
By 1985, there were more than one million items of prohibited material in the Lenin State Library – the largest spetskhran (restricted access collection). But the status quo could not last: the state bureaucracy was sclerotic, the economy was stagnating, and the old guard was dying – three leaders in quick succession. This led to the elevation of 54-year-old Mikhail Gorbachev, who acknowledged that the Communist Party could not sustain internal suppression. Gorbachev instituted the policies of perestroika (‘restructuring’) and glasnost (‘openness’) – the latter became the name of one of the most popular samizdat publications of the period.
It is very difficult to measure the impact of samizdat, although many believe it was a significant factor in undermining Soviet authority. For Ukrainian journalist Vitaly Korotich “The Soviet Union was destroyed by information – and this wave started from Solzhenitsyn’s One Day”. While the circulation of samizdat publications reached a relatively small audience, many of its readers were culturally influential. Some were powerful: indeed, government officials became regular readers, as they could only censor what they could understand. Samizdat informed their thinking – and their proscriptions helped dictate the boundaries of politically acceptable speech.
A century after the Russian Revolution, the democratising platform of the internet seems to have negated the need for underground media. But samizdat has received renewed attention since 2014, when in response to the Maiden protests in Ukraine, the Russian government stepped up its attempts to monitor web content. Sites that track state abuses are routinely blocked, and the emails and social media accounts of opposition leader Alexei Navalny have been hacked.
In 2015, an online New Chronicle of Current Events was launched, on the premise that citizens are misinformed by the manipulations of the mass media. The New Chronicle has published a list of 217 imprisoned dissidents in Russia, including opposition politicians and environmental activists.
Owners of websites critical of the Russian government are moving to foreign jurisdictions – but the challenge is not confined to a single nation. Popular blogger Anton Nosic sees a global parallel, arguing that “Wikileaks is a direct continuation of the samizdat tradition”. The US and British security services seek the “seizure of computer equipment, pressure on editors, demands not to publish certain materials… the mechanism and motivation are the same as 45 years ago”. Wherever the state seeks to silence dissent, the spirit of samizdat will thrive.

text: The name Roman Polanski conjures up different responses. To many film buffs he is the Polish wunderkind who rocketed out of the Lodz film school in Poland to direct the dark and mysterious Knife in the Water (1962), a tale of fear and betrayal on the high seas heralded for its thematic complexity and perfect camera placement. Others may identify him with his British films of the mid-1960s, including the terrifying Repulsion (1965), about a shy young woman (Catherine Deneuve), who slowly loses her mind as we witness her decline. Many will remember Polanski for his two great American films, the hugely influential Rosemary’s Baby (1968) or the near-perfect Chinatown (1974). A few may even recall that he won the Academy Award for best director in 2002 for The Pianist.

An information systems administrator, also known as a systems administrator or sysadmin, is a person who oversees a company’s, institution’s, or department’s computer systems. An information systems administrator can work in almost any industry, including business, education, health care, and non-profit organizations. Some companies have entire teams of system administrators, while others only have one. Some systems administrators are in charge of large teams of information technology (IT) professionals, while others work primarily on their own.
Systems administrators are typically responsible for a wide range of computer maintenance and repair tasks. An information systems administrator might be tasked with setting up a network, recovering data from a crashed hard drive, configuring a web server, or speculating and ordering dozens of desktop computers. He or she might train IT staff to handle service calls, troubleshoot a slow mail server, reopen a computer lab following a power outage, or clean up a flooded server room all in the same week.
Configure hardware, install and update software, set up and manage user accounts, troubleshoot problems for users, schedule backups, maintain system security, and optimize system performance are all common tasks for these professionals. Some of these functions are usually performed network systems administrators and other staff in larger organizations. Most multi-person information technology departments will divide up system administration tasks among several people who specialize in various aspects of system administration.
Information systems administrators receive a variety of training. Many systems administrators are self-taught or have learned on the job; it is common for them to advance from lower-level technical support positions. A bachelor’s degree in computer science, management information systems (MIS), or a related field is usually required of an information systems administrator. Although a few academic institutions offer associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees in systems administration, job requirements are often more flexible and based on ability and experience rather than a specific educational program.
Many systems administrators also obtain industry certifications for the systems with which they are most familiar. A Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) might be a Sun Certified System Administrator, while a Sun/Solaris sysadmin might be a Sun Certified System Administrator (SCSA). Someone who works primarily with Linux may be certified in Red Hat Linux System Administration or a more general Linux/UNIX certification.
It is not for everyone to pursue a career in information systems administration. However, it can be very appealing to someone who enjoys solving problems, working on a variety of tasks, and taking on a good challenge.
