I think that was partly why my grandfather died as young as he did," says Gabriel Prokofiev, grandson of the composer. "He discovered he was no longer the revered national figure who could do no wrong and that killed something in his spirit."
As a composer himself, the younger Prokofiev understands what it must mean for a creative artist to see his work denigrated and curtailed by an oppressive political regime, as happened to his grandfather in Stalin's Russia.
The big question is why Sergei Prokofiev was living in Russia at all. In 1918, aged 27, already with some major works to his credit, he had emigrated to the west. Although his heart might have remained in his native Russia, he carved out a successful career, first in the US, then in Europe, and by the mid-1930s was living in Paris with his young family. The city had become a hub for the cultural elite who had emigrated from Russia, starting with Diaghilev and Stravinsky, and there were certainly not many people going in the opposite direction.
Why did Prokofiev choose to go back? It was 1936 by the time he settled down permanently in Moscow with his wife, Lina Llubera, and their two sons, Sviatoslav and Oleg, and the political situation in Russia was already grim. Millions of Russians were dying through repression or starvation and Stalin's cultural policy of "Socialist Realism" had marked the cards of many creative artists. How could Prokofiev have failed to realise that the path he was taking was going to lead to adversity and, for one family member, real suffering?
Over the space of two and a half weeks in January the London Philharmonic Orchestra will be investigating this theme in a concentrated festival of Prokofiev's music. Entitled "Prokofiev: Man of the People?", it will feature a wide range of the composer's output but with a special focus on this crucial period of the 1930s and 1940s, when the composer's music, like his life, reached a critical crossroads.
Vladimir Jurowski, the orchestra's principal conductor, explains why he wanted to present a Prokofiev festival now. "There are certain figures in our culture we tend to come back to regularly over certain intervals of time," he says. "By trying to understand them, we understand things about ourselves. Prokofiev is an emblematic figure of the 20th century, a figure full of controversy, of ambivalence, of contradictions, like the century itself."
The subtitle of the festival – "Man of the People?" (note the question mark) – picks up the central point of controversy, which is that radical change of direction in Prokofiev's life and music in the mid-1930s. Like the many Jewish composers forced to leave Nazi Germany in this period, he had found himself an émigré and his music, like theirs, tended to mirror the different stops on his travels – from enfant terrible in his student days at St Petersburg to coruscating fantasy in the US, and then what he called his "new simplicity" as the 1930s progressed. It is this last development that has exercised historians ever since.
Simon Morrison of Princeton University, who has written an essay for the festival programme, explains how the music changed. "Prokofiev didn't want to follow the tra-la-la musicals of Broadway and didn't like the expat style of some of his Russian colleagues in Europe. He had an innate gift for melody and wanted that to come to the fore. Just because he called this style 'new simplicity' doesn't mean he wanted his music to be facile."
The crucial debate, though, is whether Prokofiev went in this direction willingly or felt in some way under pressure. For a composer who was on the point of moving back to Stalin's Russia, choosing whether to adopt a popular style in tune with Socialist Realism might be a choice between life or death. "Was he sincere," asks Jurowski, "or was he trying to conceal the truth? Was he really ambivalent about his art? I don't have the answers. But I do think it is significant that he said during his time in the Soviet Union that he always tried to be a 'man of the people'. [The irony is that] the public condemnations of him branded him exactly the opposite – an enemy of the people."
It was only a couple of years after his return to Russia that things turned sour. Once this lauded émigré composer was back within their grasp, the Russian authorities soon stopped giving him special treatment. Prokofiev might have expected that he would be seen as the biggest star in the small galaxy of composers left in Russia but he soon learnt otherwise. He hated seeing his music – such as the operas Semyon Kotko and War and Peace – altered by political dictat and had to accept that his successes were generally the works written in consultation with the authorities. It was, says Morrison, "a terrible story, one of the greatest examples of censorship in the major musical canon".
Once Stalin had made his pact with Nazi Germany in 1939, Prokofiev was banned from travel outside the Soviet Union. For Lina, who was Spanish by birth, life took a disastrous turn. "The move to Russia had opened up cracks in my grandparents' relationship and they separated," says Gabriel Prokofiev. "Then my grandmother was sent to a gulag, an internment camp in Siberia, and was imprisoned there for eight years." She lived until 1989, latterly in London, and Gabriel knew her well. "She was a very strong woman," he observes.
Even so, through all these political twists and turns, Prokofiev continued to compose. Many of his great works date from this period – the cantata Alexander Nevsky, the Symphony No 5, the ballet Cinderella – as well as rarities that the festival will bring back into the spotlight: a staging of all the music for Egyptian Nights, with its mixture of texts by Shaw, Shakespeare and Pushkin; the rarely heard Symphonic Song, in which Prokofiev first started to explore his "new simplicity"; and the world premiere of an oratorio version of Ivan the Terrible by the composer's assistant, Levon Atovmyan, which promises to be an exciting discovery. There will also be a classical club night, featuring the early ballet Trapeze, curated by Gabriel Prokofiev.
Jurowski hopes that, as well as encouraging audiences to explore the music of one of the 20th century's greatest composers, the festival will provoke them to go one step further and ponder the whole question of art and politics. Prokofiev will speak not only through his music but also through his diaries, which have a whole day's programme devoted to them.
Thinking back over the family history, Gabriel Prokofiev has his own take on "Prokofiev – Man of the People?"
"From my perspective," he says, "I wouldn't have the question mark at all. Some composers may be self-absorbed or introverted but my grandfather wasn't like that. He loved his audiences, the excitement created by his music, and the way it could bring people together. It was in this period that he found his true voice and his instinct for writing melodious and exciting music was at its height – so, in that respect, I would say his early years back in Russia were a golden period."

On July 16th, 2014, FAB Universal (NYSEMKT:FU) will make an oral appeal to the NYSE's April 28th, 2014, delisting decision. Presumably, FAB will try to explain how its secret $16.3 million Chinese bond offering was not a sufficiently bad corporate governance-lapse to merit a delisting. FAB will also have to explain how its decision to downgrade its auditor somehow made sense given its admitted lack of internal control over its Chinese subsidiaries. On top of all this, FAB will have to convince the NYSE that its contradictory disclosures in its belatedly filed 2013 10-K finally paint a true picture of FAB's Chinese business. In today's report, I analyze and expose contradictions in FAB's new description of its media kiosk business and question why FAB's former auditor was unable to perform cash balance confirmations
Is FAB a Provider and Operator of Media Kiosks or a Seller of Technology Licenses?
In Note 1 to FAB's 2012 audited financials in its 2012 10-K FAB described its core Chinese business as follows:
"[FAB]'s products and services are primarily distributed through its flagship stores, wholesale services, proprietary 'FAB' kiosks, and online virtual stores. FAB kiosks, located in high-traffic areas of office buildings, shopping malls, retail stores and airports, are self-service terminals that provide a range of entertainment and consumer applications."
"FAB Media was incorporated as a private enterprise in the PRC in April 2008 with a registered capital of RMB 1 million. FAB Media is primarily engaged in operating and providing proprietary multimedia kiosks for music downloads, information exchange and advertising." (Page 49)
FAB claimed to be responsible for the placement and location of the media kiosks, which FAB refers to as "our Kiosks" in the following risk factor related to FAB's business disclosed in the 2012 10-K:
"Our failure to maintain existing relationships or obtain new relationships that allow us to place our Kiosks in desirable locations would harm our business and prospects."
"Our ability to generate revenues from Kiosks depends largely upon our ability to provide licensees networks of Kiosks in desirable locations throughout major urban areas in China. This, in turn, requires that we develop and maintain business relationships with real estate developers, landlords, property managers, hypermarkets, retailers, and other businesses and locations in which we are provided space for our facilities. If we fail to maintain our relationships with landlords and property managers, or if a significant number of our existing Kiosks placement agreements are terminated or not renewed or if we fail to maintain our relationship with our location provider, licensees may find our networks unattractive and may not renew agreement after the termination of five years agreement, which would cause our revenues to decline and our business and prospects to deteriorate." (Page 13)
Recall that in my December 9th, 2013 report, I announced that I was only able to locate 20 of the 3,954 media kiosks FAB claimed to have installed in Beijing alone. All FAB had to do was publish a detailed list of its Beijing media kiosk locations. FAB did not do this and I believe FAB could not do this because the kiosks simply do not exist.
So rather than simply publishing the locations of the media kiosks, FAB revised its entire business model in its delinquently filed 2013 10-K (filed June 27th, 2014). FAB removed all the previous references to the number of media kiosks installed or deployed in China. Instead, FAB now states that the kiosk business merely involves the sale of "FAB brand licenses:"
"FAB has grown its business through its licensing and regional agent programs and has sold 17,944 brand licenses, which allows the licensees to use FAB's brand on the kiosks."
"FAB generates revenues from the sale of FAB Brand licenses, as well as advertising, and FAB membership card sales." (Page 32)
This seems to be a bold act of recanting the previously disclosed business model (in every single public announcement related to Wizzard's acquisition of FAB up until now) and recasting it in a new, albeit equally dubious direction. The first hint of this change in business description appeared in FAB's December 10th, 2013 announcement that its Board of Directors had taken the time to review thousands of "licenses to operate kiosks." In this same press release, FAB also reiterated that 3,954 media kiosks had been deployed in Beijing. With the absence of any mention of deployments in the new 10-K, FAB has taken an unconvincing but decisive step toward being able to disavow any knowledge of the location of the kiosks. The bottom line is that "FAB brand licenses" for kiosks that FAB cannot prove exist are simply meaningless. Where are the kiosks?
Turning back to FAB's historical filings, let's not forget that FAB in fact described its media kiosk licensing program in great detail in the June 1st, 2012 Proxy, which again showed that FAB was in complete control of the location and operation of all the media kiosks:
"FAB licensing program is a merchant program that binds the FAB and each small investor or vendor. Under this program and associated contract, both licensor and licensee take their joint-business obligations as follows:
- The licensee pays for FAB Kiosk and other equipment and fixtures while the licensor (FAB Media) is responsible for the complete set-up of each FAB outlet from the location selection to construction or conversion, remodeling and equipment installation.
- All FAB outlets will be owned by the licensee, but supervised by a designated management company - Beijing Huzhong Culture Co., Ltd ("Huzhong Culture") in accordance with FAB's distinctive business formats.
- FAB kiosks are linked to the server station through the internet to remain updated. Such maintenances are operated by Huzhong Culture." (Page 35)
The 2012 10-K also confirmed that the media kiosks are networked:
"The content is contained on internal hard drives within each terminal thereby eliminating bandwidth download problems associated with the internet and providing content owners with a secure closed system for digital file protection and accurate transparent accounting. The terminals are updated and monitored via web-linked electronic communications." (Page 29)
Based on these and other 2012 disclosures in its SEC filings, FAB explicitly portrayed as fact that it owns and/or operates a vast network of thousands of media kiosks. FAB's licensees invested in thousands of the media kiosks, which were located in places FAB selected, built out, and maintained. FAB (via a related party known as Huzhong) supervised the media kiosks in operation, and the media kiosks were networked to a central server.
However, in its delinquently filed 2013 10-K, FAB makes no mention of the kiosks being "networked" to a central server and even removes all mention of FAB's provision of "desirable locations" for kiosk placements "throughout major urban areas of China," as it repeatedly stated in the past filings and public announcements.
Further, FAB makes a deceitful attempt to "backdate" the 2013 10-K business description changes to 2010:
"Prior to 2010, the Company's business model consisted of brand licensing and agreements that allowed for the purchase and operation of kiosks under the FAB brand. After 2010, the Company only sold license agreements which were outside of Beijing." (Page 3)
FAB's purported 2010 change to its business model is contradicted by my research that found that as recently as late 2013, FAB's Beijing kiosk franchising sales office was still offering media kiosks to Chinese investors on a turnkey basis - whereby FAB was responsible for placing and operating the kiosks and guaranteed franchisees a positive return on their investments.
FAB also suspiciously discloses in the 2013 10-K that only "some kiosks" have media download capabilities:
"The Kiosks provide a variety of functions, and some provide multiple functions. The great majority of the kiosks generate revenue from the sale of advertising. Some kiosks are ATM style terminals where consumers can download content directly to their cell phones, memory sticks or other mobile storage devices. Others provide directions or other services or offer coupons or other goods for sale." (Page 3)
Contrast the 2013 10-K statement with FAB's June 1st, 2012 proxy that described the standard kiosk as having media download capabilities:
"The standard FAB kiosks have the following features:
· The user can review and select a variety of licensed music, movies, mobile phone ringtones and games from a touch screen.
· The user can stream the selected content or titles to different kinds of portable devices, such as, MP3, MP4, memory cards, hard disks, flash disks, mobile phones." (Page 35)
FAB's new claim that only "some kiosks" are media kiosks indicates to me that the true number of media kiosks in Beijing is not much more than the 20 I found in my investigation. This further explains FAB's reluctance to disclose the media kiosk locations.
The Auditor Downgrade - Why Did Management Not Let Friedman Verify $100 Million Purported Cash Balance?
Through April 30th, 2014, the date of FAB's dismissal of its auditor (Friedman):
"(A) due to the time requirements placed on management because of an internal investigation (the "Internal Investigation") being conducted by an outside independent consulting firm at the same time as the audit, Company personnel were not readily available to assist Friedman in completion of certain audit procedures, (B) certain requests for additional documentation and procedures were not complied with, and (C) Friedman was unwilling to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements prior to the completion of the Internal Investigation and prior to the confirmation of bank balances at certain depository institutions in China,…"
From this disclosure, it is apparent that as of April 30th, 2014, Friedman had not verified FAB's December 31st, 2013 bank balances of $99,077,811. The excuse that FAB's management personnel were unavailable to assist Friedman to verify bank balances is simply absurd and insulting to U.S. investors and regulators.
FAB has been given a full 8 months to disclose the locations of the media kiosks. Instead, FAB tossed aside the facts in its previous disclosures and overhauled its entire business description to focus on "FAB Brand licenses" that make the existence of the actual kiosks completely unverifiable. FAB further called its financials into question by downgrading its auditor, during a period of intense scrutiny of FAB's failed internal controls, and would not assist its former auditor to verify nearly $100 million of purported bank balances.
I continue to fully expect that FAB will be delisted immediately following the appeal hearing after which I will cover my short on the OTC exchange. Delisted Chinese companies typically have market capitalizations of well under $20 million, implying an OTC trading price target of less than $1 per share. If FAB's stock is somehow allowed to continue its NYSE listing, I will short more shares and of course continue my investigation to further expose the truth about FAB.

All of these kids are awesome and have overcome enormous hardships. They easily could have used that as an excuse to give up, but instead they have persevered to become productive members of society and represent EPA well. I know one of these young men personally and could not be more proud of him. I wish they all could have won.

Modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal (High Frequency Signal), with a modulating signal which typically contains information to be transmitted. The aim of digital modulation is to transfer a digital bit stream over an analog bandpass channel, for example over the public switched telephone network (where a bandpass filter limits the frequency range to between 300 and 3400 Hz), or over a limited radio frequency band. The aim of analog modulation is to transfer an analog baseband (or lowpass) signal, for example an audio signal or TV signal, over an analog bandpass channel at a different frequency, for example over a limited radio frequency band or a cable TV network channel.

Subject: Trigger Warnings
In order to anticipate potential liability issues rising from the teaching of humanities and social science courses, we have reviewed the syllabuses across your college's departments, with particular attention given to the impacting of racial and ethnic themes on our clientele's (aka students') emotional well-being. We have provisionally concluded that the English department can continue to teach The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Merchant of Venice, while taking into careful consideration the sensibilities of African-American, Jewish and related niche audiences.
But in the course of our investigation, we found other reasons to anticipate future legal and public relations challenges for the university. With the support of the offices of student services and marketing and communications, which coordinated several focus groups, we found several books that could become the subject of class action suits. Please find below five examples from our full list that, if present campus trends continue, will raise red flags.
Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey
Students were disturbed by Homer's "relentless" depiction of mayhem and gore: "Like the X-Men franchise, but Wolverine is definitely a more likable mutant than Achilles," concluded one respondent. Several students objected to the treatment of women -- mostly relegated to domestic activities or war booty -- and demanded to know if there were other epic poems by blind Archaic Greek bards that offered examples of female empowerment.
Also, a small but vocal number of students wearing PETA t-shirts protested the "inhumane" treatment of the dog Argo, left to die on a dung heap. Given the youthful impressionability of our customer base, we find potential problems with the Lotus-eater episode, as well as the character Helen's liberal use of pharmacological agents.
Anonymous' "The Book of Job"
"Are you sure this is part of the Bible?" asked many respondents, who also exhibited intense unease with God's actions, as they did with Job's questions. The mounting suspense in waiting for God to reply adversely impacted many students (as did the irritation factor supplied by Job's friends).
While the groups' expectations were raised when a voice came from the whirlwind, they were deflated by the voice's answers -- which, according to one respondent, weren't answers at all. ("Like my parents, only worse.") At the end of the session, a palpable sense of dread, along with isolated cases of fear and trembling, were in evidence -- all matters of concern for our office.
Virgil's Aeneid
Though we were informed this work combines the two "Homeric" poems in one, the focus groups concluded it was somehow longer. Respondents were disturbed by the negative depiction of the character Dido -- "If she, like, died 'before her time,' how fair is that?" -- while the character Juno also elicited negative comments: "Clearly the product of a harsh patriarchal society determined to depict independent women as hysterical and dangerous."
More generally, respondents were disoriented by Virgil's habit, in the words of one participant, "to undermine the Roman values he pretends to uphold." We find sufficient grounds for concern that students might argue they cannot be expected to give clear answers on their final exam if Virgil could not give any in his final poem. Our staff also suggests that more litigious individuals will claim that if Virgil could leave his poem unfinished, they could do the same with their exam.
Machiavelli's The Prince
Several students spoke of their emotional distress after reading the author's claim that if a ruler obeys "something resembling good it will lead to his ruin, while something resembling vice will lead to power." Other students, however, announced their decision to run for president of their fraternity and sorority chapters.
Significant liability potential resides in the author's use of Cesare Borgia as a role model: his praise of Borgia's public "dicing and slicing" (in one participant's phrase) of a subordinate does not reflect the "brand" values of our university.
Beckett's Endgame
Our office for students with special needs signaled its concern over the presence of two characters with disabilities -- they lost "their shanks in the Ardennes" -- who are confined to garbage pails. The office also worries that two other characters -- one who cannot sit down, the other who cannot stand up -- appear indifferent to this situation.
We cannot decide which is more problematic for the university: those respondents left despondent by the play's existential desolation, epistemological doubts and ethical despair, and those respondents who kept giggling. In general, it remains to be seen whether, when it comes to the trigger warning controversy, we can't go on or must go on.
Rob Zaretsky is a professor of French history at the University of Houston's Honors College and author, most recently, of A Life Worth Living: Albert Camus and the Quest for Meaning.
"What would the United States look like if we really gave up on liberal education and opted only for specialized or vocational schools? Would that really be such a bad thing?"
The interviewer was trying to be provocative, since I've just written a book entitled Beyond The University: Why Liberal Education Matters. What exactly would be the problem, he went on, if we suddenly had a job market filled with people who were really good at finance, or engineering, or real estate development?
Apart from being relieved that he hadn't included expertise in derivatives training in his list of specializations, I did find his thought experiment interesting. Would there be real advantages to getting students to hunker down early into more specific tracks of learning? In that way they would be "job ready" sooner, contributing more quickly to the enterprises of which they are a part, and acquiring financial independence at the same time. Would that really be such a bad thing?
The debate between those who want students to specialize quickly and those who advocate for a broad, contextual education is as old as America itself. The health of a republic, Thomas Jefferson argued, depends on the education of its citizens. Against those arguing for more technical training, he founded the University of Virginia, emphasizing the freedom that students and faculty would exercise there. Unlike Harvard University and its many imitators, devoted to predetermined itineraries through traditional fields, he said, Virginia would not prescribe a course of study to direct graduates to "the particular vocations to which they are destined."
At Mr. Jefferson's university, "every branch of science, useful at this day, may be taught in its highest degree." But who would determine which pursuits of knowledge would prove useful?
Jefferson, a man of the Enlightenment, had faith that the diverse forms of learning would improve public and private life. Of course, his personal prejudices limited his interest in the improvement of life for so many. However, his conception of "useful knowledge" was capacious and open-ended – and this was reflected in his design for the campus in Charlottesville. He believed that the habits of mind and methods of inquiry characteristic of the modern sciences lent themselves to lifelong learning that would serve one well whether one went on to manage a farm or pursue a professional career. It is here we see the dynamic and open-ended nature of Jefferson's understanding of educational "usefulness."
His approach to knowledge and experimentation kept open the possibility that any form of inquiry might prove useful. The sciences and mathematics made up about half of the curriculum at Virginia, but Jefferson was convinced that the broad study of all fields that promoted inquiry, such as history, zoology, anatomy and even ideology would help prepare young minds. The utility was generally not something that could be determined in advance, but would be realized through what individuals made of their learning once outside the confines of the campus. The free inquiry cultivated at the university would help build a citizenry of independent thinkers who took responsibility for their actions in the contexts of their communities and the new Republic.
Jefferson would have well-understood what many business leaders, educators and researchers recognize today: that given the intense interconnection of problems and opportunities in a globalized culture and economy, we require thinkers who are comfortable with ambiguity and can manage complexity. Joshua Boger, founder of Vertex Pharmaceuticals (and chair of the board at Wesleyan University), has pointed out how much creative and constructive work gets done before clarity arrives, and that people who seek clarity too quickly might actually wind up missing a good deal that really matters. Boger preaches a high tolerance for ambiguity because the contemporary world is so messy, so complex.
Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO, one of the most innovative design firms in the world, has lamented that many designers "are stuck with an approach that seems to be incapable of facing the complexity of the challenges being posed today." He calls for a flexible framework that leaves behind static blueprint preparation for "open-ended, emergent, evolutionary approaches to the design of complex systems can result in more robust and useful outcomes." Like many CEOs across the country, Brown recognizes that more robust and useful outcomes will come from learning that is capacious and open-ended -- from liberal education.
At the Drucker Forum last year, Helga Nowotny, president of the European Research Council, described what she called the "embarrassment of complexity" – efforts based in data analysis to dissolve ambiguity that lead to more conformity and less creativity. She called for an ethos among business and government leaders that would instead "be based on the acknowledgement that complexity requires integrative thinking, the ability to see the world, a problem or a challenge from different perspectives." That's a call for integrative thinking based in liberal learning.
In America, liberal education has long been animated by the tension between broad, open-ended learning and the desire to be useful in a changing world. Calls for dissolving this tension in favor of narrow utilitarian training would likely produce just the opposite: specialists unprepared for change who will be skilled in areas that may quickly become obsolete.
So, what would America look like if we abandoned this grand tradition of liberal education? Without an education that cultivates an ability to learn from the past while stimulating a resistance to authority, without an education that empowers students for lifelong learning and inquiry, we would become a cultural and economic backwater, competing with various regions for the privilege of operationalizing somebody else's new ideas. In an effort at manic monetization without critical thinking, we would become adept at producing conformity rather than innovation.
The free inquiry and experimentation of a pragmatic liberal education open to ambiguity and complexity help us to think for ourselves, take responsibility for our beliefs and actions, seize opportunities and solve problems. Liberal education matters far beyond the university because it increases our capacity to shape a complex world.

Lizzy Yarnold provided timely impetus to Britain's burgeoning hopes of a best-ever Winter Olympics next month in Sochi by claiming a fourth skeleton World Cup win of the season in Igls, Austria.
Yarnold underlined her status as one of Britain's leading medal prospects by making it seven podium places from seven World Cup races - she is firmly established as the world No 1 this season ahead of the American Noelle Pikus-Pace, who has won the other three races. With her lead now extended to 225 points, Yarnold only needs to complete the final race of the World Cup series in Konigsse, Germany next month to confirm her world No 1 ranking.
Yarnold's team-mate Shelley Rudman, the reigning world champion, finished fifth. The Winter Olympics begin on 7 February with the women's skeleton a week later. Britain have been set a medal target of three to seven medals - they last won three at a Games in 1936 and have never won more than four.

Fans and critics alike are getting at Jaheim's perm-tastic hair and the R&B singer is having none of it.
For days now, Jaheim has been going back and forth with "bullies" on Twitter, calling out anyone that throws him and his seemingly new texture shade.
He even wrote in one clap back: "Half you fake ass chics can hardly keep a man y'all got babies daddies instead then all ya hair is fake or permed burn aw man I can keep on."
… And it didn't end there.
Head over to his Twitter for more from Jaheim. What do you think of his hair?

Torn between the charm of his home town and the allure of the big city, Noel must now decide where his future lies.

nsIncrementalDownload::GetDestination should return a clone of nsIFile
This is needed to workaround the fact that nsIFile implementations may cache
their stat caches. It is also similar to the way nsStandardURL::GetFile is
implemented, which allows consumers to modify the nsIFile that they get back.
Because internal string buffers are shared, the main cost incurred is that of
allocating a new nsLocalFile structure.

should the IDL document that the caller can freely modify the file?
My thinking is that we may want to change this code in the future if we ever get
a nsIFile implementation that sucks less ;-) Like, it would be really cool if I
could hand out a reference to my nsIFile that was 1) immutable and 2) smart
enough to return the actual file size when requested.
ah ok, if we could ensure immuability that'd be great :)
Yeah, I've always wanted a way to mark a nsLocalFile instance as immutable.
Something similar to the way nsStandardURL works would be nice. But, heck...
it'd be nice if we even used nsStandardURL's support for immutability ;-)
this looks low risk so approving for the branch but we should let it bake on the
trunk for a couple days just to be safe.

Katherine Butler is spot on to identify ageism as mirroring the sexism and racism of previous eras (3 October ). It is so pervasive that older people themselves have become negative about growing old.
Working in mental health services, one finds that older people referred for help often say things such as "Of course I'm depressed, I'm old"; "I'm too old to change"; "Someone younger deserves help more than I do"; or "Getting older is a terrible thing". It is leading to unnecessary ill health, poor wellbeing, compounding existing health problems, leading to hospital and care home admissions, poor quality of life and early death.
These beliefs are being developed due to a society that is inherently ageist, and social change would have a much bigger impact than individual therapeutic change. We do need to think about our language and how older people are represented, and emphasise the positives that are possible when growing older, rather than focusing always on the negatives.
We need to be proud to be grey and the opportunities it can bring rather than ashamed about what is an inevitable part of our life cycle.
Dr Chris Allen,Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Maidenhead, Berkshire
One reason why the elderly are so hated by the youth of today is that the young are constantly told that the state pension is a benefit and not something that has been earned. State benefits are not taxed, but HMRC treats the pension as earned income. So who is correct – the Revenue who continue to tax it or the politicians being their usual duplicitous selves?
Time to take the old age pension out of the welfare budget? All it needs is a rebranding exercise. It won't cost anything extra to call it what it really is.
Roger Chapman, Keighley, West Yorkshire
May blames judges for doing their job
I was dismayed to read Nigel Morris's article headed "May condemns judges over human rights law" (1 October). The Home Secretary is once again blaming the judges for doing their job, as she did at the time of the Abu Qatada saga. Has she never heard of the basic principle of the separation of powers as between the legislature, executive and judiciary?
May I quote for her information what in 1985 the United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders adopted as Principle 1 of the Basic Principles on the Independence of the Judiciary (unanimously endorsed by the General Assembly): "The independence of the judiciary shall be guaranteed by the State and enshrined in the Constitution or the law of the country. It is the duty of all governmental and other institutions to respect and observe the independence of the judiciary."
If Theresa May doesn't like the law, she can change it. If she doesn't like the Human Rights Act, abolish it. But don't blame the judges, or put unlawful pressure on them to misinterpret the law as it is. She apparently told the Conservative conference that she was "sending a very clear message to those judges...". If that isn't usurping power, I don't know what is. She adds: "Conservatives will put the law on the people's side". As a member of the legislature she can and should do that, but it sounds to me as if she wants to be the legislature, the executive and judiciary all at once.
Clearly, unless judges, prosecutors and lawyers are able to exercise their professional duties freely, independently and impartially, and unless the executive and the legislature are likewise always prepared to ensure this independence, the rule of law will slowly but steadily be eroded, and with it effective protection of the rights of the individual.
Robin Grey QC, London, EC4
Pointless risks run for charity
Fiona Sturges (Voices, 1 October) could have added a further category to her list of self-indulgent charity acts: the expedition.
These charity jaunts can take several forms. One involves doing something already done many times before, such as climbing a chronically congested mountain, or trekking through snow to an arbitrary point, and then trekking back again. Another is the entirely pointless activity, such as rowing single-handed across an ocean – sails and engines have been attached to boats out of the eminently sensible desire to avoid such dangerous and onerous work.
Expedition participants are vocal in informing us of the dangers and privations they "selflessly" submit themselves to in the name of raising money (or awareness); if it's so dangerous or awful, how about simply not doing it? You don't have to, after all.
However, the truth is that they are doing things that they want to do anyway. Charity is simply a cover for running unnecessary and pointless risks, which they would otherwise be castigated for. It also provides a source of funding to pay for the self-indulgence. Not to be forgotten as well is the ego-boost supplied by ostentatiously suffering for charity, thus broadcasting what a thoroughly good person you are.
Giving your time or money to charity is a noble act. If you feel so inclined, then just do it. Don't use it as an excuse to pay for your adventures. And, most of all, don't tell us about it.
Barry Richards, Cardiff
McCarthyism at the 'Mail'
The Daily Mail article accusing Ralph Miliband of hating Britain has sparked a debate about patriotism.
I have friends who grew up in South Africa in the 1950s and 1960s. They hated the apartheid regime but loved their country. They had no wish to leave.
To be patriotic does not mean you have to support the prevailing consensus, if there is one, let alone subscribe to Daily Mail or Tory values. You do not have to support the institution of monarchy to love this country. You do not have to support more privatisation to love this country. This article smacked of McCarthyism which, thank goodness, we in Britain have never subscribed to.
John Boaler, Calne, Wiltshire
Many of those, such as on BBC Question Time, who excuse the late Ralph Miliband's insulting comments, aged 17, about the English, because "we all say and do stupid things at 17", also propose giving the vote to 16-year-olds. And of course, Michael Foot's description of Norman Tebbit as a "semi house-trained polecat" is deemed acceptable!
John Birkett, St Andrews, Fife
Who pays for workfare?
The as yet sketchy plan to introduce a wider US-Style "workfare" programme, partially unveiled by David Cameron in his Conservative conference keynote speech ("Earn or learn: Cameron gets tough on the under-25s over welfare," 3 October), could run into difficulties due to the way several political responsibilities are devolved to the Scottish Government, Welsh Assembly government and Northern Ireland Assembly administration.
If the Westminster-based Coalition Government wants to force young people off welfare benefits, a UK-wide responsibility of the Department for Work and Pensions in London, and into a training or further education, this will transfer financial responsibility to Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast to administer for the devolved nations of the UK.
But with such new responsibility, will the Treasury provide the appropriate resources to support this? Have the devolved administrations been consulted over this initiative? And if so, what is their response?
Dr David Lowry, Stoneleigh, Surrey
NHS pay freeze the final straw
Can someone explain in this time of us "all having to share the pain" why pay freezes for public service workers are acceptable, but temporary profit freezes for multinational energy companies are a threat to life as we know it?
Tom Simpson, Bristol
The announcement by Jeremy Hunt that most NHS staff will not receive a pay rise next year is the final straw. NHS unions must respond with ballots for industrial action involving co-ordinated strikes.
Andrew Travers, Gillingham, Kent
The Seventies, age of equality
I was born in the 40s, and like Andy McSmith (Voices, 5 October) I remember the 1970s with more fondness than I do the 1980s. A statistic that he did not mention is the ratio of the relative incomes of the most and least well off. Back in the 70s it was about 50 to 1. Now it's about 400 to 1.
In 1960 I was taught that the previous 100 years had been a period of gradual but constant narrowing of the gap between the rich and the poor. Thatcher certainly changed all that. Why do we put up with it?
Mike Coggles, Retford, Nottinghamshire
Send MPs to the front line
We will not solve the problem of irrational defence cuts ("How defence cuts helped Taliban devastate Camp Bastion", 5 October) until every MP, as part of their contract, has to do an annual two-week attachment to any theatre of war, where they can ride in soft-skinned vehicles, equipped with a gun that jams and sharing the flak jacket.
David Newman, Harrogate, North Yorkshire
True comedy
Those somewhat older than David Cameron would not have been able to listen to his trite reference at the Conservative conference to Magna Carta without thinking fondly of the great Tony Hancock and his Twelve Angry Men speech: "Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you? Did she die in vain?" It would be better to leave such speeches to those who actually intend to make us laugh.
Stan Hughes, East Hagbourne, Oxfordshire
Big lies
In order to help Mike Wright escape the horns of a dilemma (letter, 4 October), whether "All in it together", or "Greenest government ever" is the biggest lie, might I suggest "The NHS is safe..." or, cutting to the chase, "Compassionate Conservatism"?
Paul Abbott, Nottingham
Loose talk
I feel sorry for the man convicted for self-scanning all his shopping as loose onions. What happened to "The customer is always right?" What if he really didn't know his onions?
Ian McKenzie, LincolnReuse content

1977 Nova 358ci Mutha Thumper Cam
This is my 1977 Nova RS.. This was my first car at the age of 15. After college and when I got a big boy job I pulled the original 305 and had Rocket Racing build me a 358ci Chevy to put infront of the 4speed. I have added a new rearend with cal tracs, 6inch hood, 3inch Exhaust with electric cut outs, and new front seats. Future plans are paint (once i figure out how), perfect fit TKO 5speed and maybe a mini tub/335 rear rubber for more of a pro-touring feel....

Oh, that's nothing. Just wait 'til you've had the chance to play with a big, long, stiff Thrustmaster stick, especially one with a force-sensing mod so it barely moves under all your yanking and banking. Your flight sim pleasure will be taken to new heights!
Dear god, what the hell were they thinking with that name? Sure, thrust is the force that pushes an airplane forward, but they're just setting themselves up for things like this.
Anyway, on the topic of Enermax PSUs, there's a REVOLUTION85+ 950W in my current build (way more power than I need for the time being, but I'm expecting later generations of graphics cards to have ridiculous TDP like NVIDIA's infamous Fermi architecture) and a PRO87+ 600W in my friend's build that I recently put together. Performance-PCs just had to tempt me with their half-price PSU clearance sale like that.
I hope they hold up as well as my Seasonic M12-based PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 has over the last six years.

tank environment with sponges
Hi, first time poster.
I decorated my tank to look like a reef using rocks, sand, dead coral and dead, dry sponges of all kinds that I found on the beach. I soaked the coral and sponges in water with bleach for several days, rinsed it, added de-chlorinator, rinsed it, let it dry, and built a natural looking environment by gluing everything together with silicone. I tried it out with one fish for a month, then added 3 more. It seems to working out great... no deterioration whatsoever. Its been 3 months. Do you forsee any potential problems with my setup? I have no herbavores that would nibble on the sponge husks. Thanks.
What types of fish are you stocking this tank with??
I have a knight goby, figure-eight puffer, columbian black tip shark, and a mono.
How big is the tank? Figure 8's are generally pretty peaceful, but you should still keep an eye out to make sure it doesn't bug your other fish, especially the slower-moving goby. The Columbian shark will get over a foot long and will eat the knight goby and probably the figure 8 after a while. Monos also get fairly big and can be nippy, but should also be kept in a school.

I kinda like the idea of BF4 sized halo games, but it may feel like a rip off. Halo 5 needs its own identity, dont copy H2 or 4, bring a unique mix. I like being able to pick my starting weapon(hate the AR) but also love halo 2.
Suppa Ugly 3 years ago#32
I never understand these topics that day Halo is dead. New, I'll admit that I am a halo fan boy and that halo 5 is the primary reason I bought an xb1. But man, I just don't understand the hate for these games. They seem to be getting better and better to me. People hated on ODST and that just blew my mind. The visual style of that game is just so damn sexy to me. And the sound track had this great jazz feel to it.
Halo Reach had a great story and Halo 4 was beautiful. The only thing I think they need to do is hit 60fps.
They'll make PSN even free-er.DeadCell222 on possible PS3 price drop
ThatLaoGuy 3 years ago#33
Let me rephrase. The halo universe and story is dead. Long drawn out uninteresting nonsense.
As I said, gameplay is alright, but the same gameplay and multiplayer can be better spent on a new ip.
Nobody is arguing halos popularity, but if you dont think halo, as a franchise has been going downhill, youre delusional.
Gg no rematch.
Xbone fanboys are weird little irrational creatures. It's fun making them contradict themselves.
does anyone even make fun custom maps on halo 4 ? its been a while since I played it(got bored easily) but I have never seen cool new custom games, not even the classics like Jenga, fat kid, crash derby etc on halo 4.

I think personally, I am less in love with Halo itself and more in awe of what it accomplished.
It paved the way for a lot of integrated idioms in the shooter design, and for that, it has to be praised. However, that said, it can't rest on it's laurels.
For example, the "dual weapon" mechanic - it's a limitation, but one that wholly changes the outcome of every battle. By limiting yourself to two unique offensive options you actually psychologically convince yourself that the scenario that plays out may be due to poor or exquisite judgement, and that in itself gives you positive reinforcement of your tactical decision-making. It's very latent, but it happens. How often have you sat there, hovering over the needler, wondering if that quick-sap clip might be a liability, or think about trading your DMR for that Rocket Launcher? Walking through a glade only to encounter a Ghost, and be infuriated you opted out of the Spartan Laser?
Secondly, the art design, no matter what anyone says, is exceptional. The banal, almost boring beige and khaki of the human side is SUPPOSED to be that way - it juxtaposes the uniqueness of each of the Covenant classes. You are SUPPOSED to think the Master Chief is "just a guy in armour". The serpent-like heads of the Elites, the gorilla-framed brutes, the dwarf-like toddling of the grunts - each of the Covenant is totally unique, and even devoid of colour, the silhouettes of your enemies are instantly recognisable (I attended many an enemy design conference during my Masters Degree about the importance if instant enemy recognition with Halo as one of the good examples). As soon as you see a silhouette, you switch tactics, you alter your frame of mind. This is why, say, Gears of War is not regarded in a similar light in design terms. The Locust are totally humanoid. Down to their silouettes and visual cues. They display human mannerisms and attack like humans. Halo gave exotic movements, behaviours and designs to their enemies. I personally think the first of the bad decisions started by making the enemies speak English in Halo 2, and though that is explained (armour upgrade) it removes some of this xenophobic immersion.
Adding further, Halo shot itself in the foot by wanting to be Call of Duty, and the loadouts/mobility alteration changed the entire game. The floaty, jumpy, second-judgement multiplayer was the core of the appeal. By changing it to include sprinting and special starting loadouts, the game was forever altered, and though more mainstream, it lost identity.
Halo garners a lot of hate but in design terms, it deserves tremendous respect.

I just hope one of the upcoming games is set on Harvest, where humanity's first encounter and subsequent battle with aliens happened. It would let them feature the shouty black sergeant from Aliens..... woops ..... I mean Sergeant Johnson as a main character.

They can change whatever they want, as long as they don't take the sprint out of it, I just can't jog my way around corners anymore. Also I only ask for once change..when you scope in where you can see the gun not just the scope, I think people know what I mean.
Xbox One and PlayStation 4
Because I can buy both.
Halo 4 was my favorite of the series. I don't give a damn about MP for the most part.
SnowFox7 ~I heard him use the term 'tarantula downpour', which would actually have been significantly worse than the rain we had that day.
I hope they do a HALO 2 anniversary to augment the HALO 5 multi-player, just like they did with HALO CE anniversary and HALO Reach. That way you get the best of both worlds and two great game titles.

This book not only explains how to use Illustrators tools it ends up being a valuable reference manual. I have been using Illustrator for several years so most of the tools are not new to me. I say most because the people at Adobe are always adding new tools and features while enhancing existing ones. Some of the new features are a new Perspective Grid tool, enhanced brush strokes, a new Bristle Brush and a Shape Builder tool. Like the others in the Classroom in a Book series this one has lessons instead of chapters. On the CD, that comes with the book, each lesson has at least one starting illustration and an image of what the illustration should look like after you complete the lesson. Each lesson is explained step-by-step. Then at the end of the lesson they add their "Exploring on your own" section. Here they challenge you to complete a task by guiding you without the step-by-step instruction. Each lesson ends with review questions along with their answers. The thing that makes this book appealing to everybody is that there is something for everybody. From step-by-step instructions for the novice to the "Exploring on your own" section for the more advanced users. The thing that I really like about this book is that if you go through all of the lessons you will have had a good introduction to many of the tools that Illustrator has.

Re: Highway to Hana Rental cars
Unless this is a new "rule" in their contracts, I'd say that this is incorrect. However, on our last trip, the stretch of highway 31 along the south side of the island from just east of Ulupalakua then heading eastward to about Kaupo was off limits in our contract. This stretch of road is mostly paved. A small section is unpaved and there are a few sharp, blind turns along the narrow roadway. We drove it anyway. However, you are not missing much if you don't. Also note: the section of highway 340 on the far north side (near Kahakuloa) of the island was also off limits. But this area offers some of the most breath-taking views and would be a real disappointment to miss.
