WiFi Whisperer at Moogfest 2016
In his art installation, Kyle McDonald shows how easy it is to digitally eavesdrop on festival-goers all weekend
Our first run-in with Kyle McDonald was his talk at INS-INT 2014 in Minneapolis. (The Eyeo team really loves him and he's spoken at quite of a few of their conferences). But really, we should be checking in on him at least twice a year to see what he's up to. The Brooklyn-based media artist and adjunct assistant professor at NYU's ITP always seems to be working on a million projects at once, from an interactive collab with The xx involving 50 robotic speakers, to faking bungee jumps in VR, an eyebrow-raising app to track-and-quantify social relationships, and confronting awkward talk in the website Who Pays Artists?. Regardless of how small or big or entertaining, each of McDonald's projects are always asking the questions the rest of us are too distracted to consider. His most recent, titled "WiFi Whisperer" (made in collaboration with Surya Mattu and sponsored by local ad agency McKinney) is up and running at Durham, NC's Carolina Theatre Alcove where it will be eavesdropping on Moogfest 2016 attendees all weekend and politely letting them know via data visualizations and the like. We hopped on the phone with McDonald earlier this week to learn the installation's secrets.
How did the idea for "WiFi Whisperer" come about?
I think about early 2014, I started to see that there was this data leaking from everyone's phones that was super-interesting. It was one of the most revealing things I had seen that was sort of publicly accessible—I didn't have to hack into anyone's device. I just had to listen for what was already in the air. That got me inspired and I started talking with friends. We knew we needed to make some kind of installation with this and how we could reveal all of this leaky data to people, and share it with them in a way that's kind of fun and playful but also a little scary. [laughs]
Can you walk us through how you're able to eavesdrop?
This is something that anyone can do with their laptop. If you open up your Terminal, if you're on OSX, and type in a few keys that I gave to you, you would get the same data that we're getting. But we're doing it with some small computers called Raspberry Pi. Each Raspberry Pi is listening to one wireless channel. We're just seeing what data is floating over the air, and the data which we're most interested in is something called "probe request frames"—which are kind of a dying breed of leaky data. It tells you where people have been connected to a network before, like "Nara@Home" or "Starbucks" or "Dropcam." If you look at these network names, you'll have an idea of what devices people own, where they've been, maybe where they go regularly like schools or airports. And that was the starting point for thinking about this.
We're also getting information about what people are actually doing in real time. So when they're on the network at Moogfest, we're collecting which websites that they're going to and using that as well.
Oh God, nothing is safe.
Yeah. [laughs] This is something you can do just by listening. Again, this isn't any kind of hardcore hacking where you're like breaking into someone's computer or convincing them to click on something that they shouldn't. This is just what's happening, normally. And really, the only things that protect us from this are buying hardware or software that doesn't do this; and using encryption. That's about it.
How are you translating all of this collected data on site?
When you go onto an unsecured network that doesn't ask you for a password, all of that traffic is available to people who are sitting nearby you. When you go on to Facebook, and it says HTTPS in your browser, you're OK. People can't see what you're doing but they'll still know you're on Facebook. Whereas if you're on a network that you had to put a password, they won't even know you're on Facebook. At festivals like Moogfest, they're still using open WiFi networks where you don't have to put a password in. And that means we can sit nearby and see if people are looking on Instagram, Facebook, what they're up to right now.
We've got two or three different things we're doing. The initial idea for this piece was having a text-to-speech robot voice hidden behind a wall that's just whispering all the time. "There are 10 people on the network." "Someone just opened up Skype." "It looks like someone's downloading an image from Instagram." Next to that voice, we've got a few screens that are sort of "internet stalking" people. Any of the data that we get about people, we're feeding it into Google and Twitter and trying to find out more information about them. This is happening behind the scenes but we're also doing it on the screens while people stand and watch. The other big component is a website that goes along the piece. When people sign onto the wireless network, they will get redirected to this website and it will tell them, "Hey, we tapped into your device! Here's all the stuff that we know about you." And we'll have a list of all the stuff that we've been able to find.
Do you hope that this installation will be educational, in the long run?
Yeah, ideally. A lot of this is already slated for becoming more secure. Things like probe request frames, and secure wireless networks are becoming more common. But I will still really like to see people become aware of why it's worth it to upgrade. [laughs] I was just reading an article yesterday where someone was complaining in the comment section. They're like "Why doesn't Microsoft understand that as a small business owner, we need to not upgrade sometimes because it's making us take a hit on our productivity?" And I think there's a lot of people who have that feeling, that upgrading is unnecessary or something that's being forced onto us by people who want to make us accept their new GUIs. But a lot of the time, it's a way to keep us more secure. And when you don't upgrade, you're inviting people like me to just look at your data more. [laughs]
That's creepy. I'm notorious in my office for refusing to auto-update my apps. Sometimes my editor will see my phone screen and ask me why I'm still on that iOS or older version of Instagram.
Instagram's an interesting example! I was just in Penn Station earlier today and I pulled out my laptop. It turns out Instagram, the app, is still using "HTTP" or unencrypted traffic to send all of the photos. So even if it's a private Instagram, it's still unencrypted. Sitting in Penn Station, I could just watch people... it's the same as looking over someone's shoulder, basically, except you're doing it from your computer in a corner of the room.
You can see the actual photos?
It's crazy, right? Instagram's been a little slow on this game; Facebook and Twitter have had encryption on that kind of data for much longer, but Instagram is a little behind. Ideally in the next version of Instagram—because this one they just released hasn't changed this—but in the next version, hopefully they'll have encrypted photo API end points. And then you won't be able to see it. But up until that happens, all of your traffic is in the clear.
Moogfest takes place this weekend through Sunday, 22 May 2016 in Durham, NC, and in between sets from the likes of Gary Numan, Oneohtrix Point Never, Laurie Anderson and Explosions in the Sky, there's lots of diverse, free programming open to the public.

China's Population in the past 8 years
How has China's population decreased in 8 years?
China's population since 2006 has increased a lot since 2006. China's population in 2006 was 1307.56 millions of people. In 2014, it was 1360.72 millions of people. But how do we find out by what percent did it increase? Well, first we subtract 1307.56 from 1360.72. Then, divide that by 1307.56. If you do the math, that means China's population has increased about 4.07% Why? Even though China's government made a law that Chinese parents can't have more than one child, a new citizen is born every day, and there were a lot of parents to start with. Here a graph that show's China's population changes compared to the US:
Still, China has the largest population in the world. The picture at the top shows a very populated city in China.

We stayed here for MotorCity ComicCon and stayed here over two nights and our friend in an adjoining room the first night. Opon entering We noticed that they mixed up our rooms, friend got our king and my wife and I got the two tiny double beds. The double bed room smelled like fresh cigarette smoke, you can see peek inside the room easily from the huge gap at the base of the door. The king was fairly clean but the bathroom smelled of severe body odor due the use of regular fabric as a shower curtain. Then my wife and I woke up with bite marks all over our bodies from bed bugs. We went to the office and discretely complained(my wife works at a hotel and knows bed bugs can happenat even a 5 star hotel) so they can take care of it. Our roommate had no problems so we just moved to her room for the second night. My wife knows the signs of bed bugs and noted them to the lady at the desk. The lady completely interrupted my wife just to say "our maintenance men have a test for that" I know it was just a shrug off and we were not offered any type of compensation. And sure enough the next night the sold the room to someone else so it wasn't treated as a room cannot be used for at least 24 hours after treatment. I wouldn't stay here again even if I was paid.

A Vineland teacher caught running naked through an apartment complex on a dare is the first tenure case resolved under a new law designed to reduce the time it takes for such cases.
In the past, tenure cases had dragged on for a year or more.
Mark C. Bringhurst did lose his job, but representatives of both the state teacher's union and the school boards association said the new procedure did protect his right of due process while resolving the case in a timely manner. It took less than four months from the time charges were filed with the state.
Bringhurst was a fifth-grade teacher at the Winslow School in Vineland for about eight years, and was its Teacher of the Year for 2011-12.
He was arrested on March 21 by Berlin Township police in Camden County and charged with lewdness after running naked through the Greenway Apartments parking lot. According to the police report cited in the case, Bringhurst said it was the second time he had done so, both times on a dare, but he did not expect anyone to see him.
The case was heard in municipal court, and in July the charges were amended to "acting in an improper manner" to which Bringhurst pleaded guilty.
The Vineland school district on June 27 notified Bringhurst that tenure charges would be brought before the local board of education. The board approved the charges in Aug. 8 and on Aug. 21 the district filed them with the state education commissioner.
The matter was referred to arbitrator Robert C. Gifford Sept. 13, and a hearing was held in Vineland on Oct. 18, with written briefs filed by Oct. 31.
In his decision, which was posted on the Department of Education web site Dec. 5, Gifford said Bringhurst exercised very poor judgment on more than one occasion, and his lack of judgement is not diminished by the fact that the conduct occurred outside of school.
"The respondent's actions are simply not consistent with the conduct that a fifth-grade elementary teacher must display, whether in or out of the classroom," Gifford wrote. He concluded that the penalty of dismissal was justifiable and reasonable.
The arbitrator's decision does not affect Bringhurst's teaching license or his ability to teach in another district. The decision to revoke his license would be made separately by the state Board of Examiners.
Bringhurst's attorney, Robert Bowman, said Wednesday he could not comment on the decision itself since he had not yet reviewed it with his client. But he said he thought the arbitration process was "fair and expeditious."
"It brought resolution in a timely manner," he said.
Vineland school district solicitor Robert DeSanto could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
State Department of Education officials said the case was the first to be handled under the new arbitration system, and there are currently 31 additional active tenure cases statewide.
The binding arbitration system is part of the new state TEACHNJ tenure reform law and was included to make it easier for school districts to terminate tenured teachers.
Prior contested tenure cases had gone through the administrative court system and had often taken a year to resolve. The New Jersey Education Association proposed an arbitration system to make sure tenured teachers could not be arbitrarily fired and would still have the right of due process. Under the new law, signed by Gov. Chris Christie on Aug. 6, a hearing must be held within 45 days of a contested tenure case being assigned.
Frank Belluscio, spokesman for the New Jersey School Boards Association said Wednesday they supported the arbitration process as a way to save time and money.
NJEA spokesman Steve Baker said they are watching the new law's implementation as cases go through the arbitration system.
"So far it seems that it is working as it is supposed to," he said. "But it is too early to make a final judgment."

|Tomcat status page
|Fri, 14 Jul 2000 15:15:05 GMT
Hi, I'm currently trying out a tiny "localhost" Tomcat installation on a Win98 (2nd ed.) machine with the following environment: JDK 1.2.2 Apache 1.3.9 for Win32 Tomcat 3.1 and now 3.2beta-2 I've added the JServ engine status page to the Apache configuration as described (http://localhost/jserv/). The status page appears as expected ("Tomcat 1.0 status"), but when I click on the entry under "Mapped servlet engines" (an URL that's leads to the request of "localhost/jserv/engine/0) I always get an 404 error. - Does this depend from any misconfiguration made by myself or is it a bug of tomcat? - Why is there a 1.0 revision reported (Seems to me that this is made by code inside ApacheJServ.dll)? (ok, not so important by now) - Is the 404 error caused by the mod_jserv connector module or from any of the .jar files inside the %tomcat_home%\lib directory? As long I've been using the generic ApacheJServ engine (up to 1.2.2) this problem didn't came up. Hope someone can give a little hint.

Bernardsville, and indeed the entire Somerset Hills area, lost one of its most charismatic public figures Saturday with the passing of Hugh Fenwick.
Mr. Fenwick , who served as mayor for nearly eight years before stepping down in January to battle lung cancer, was a colorful, gifted and principled man who brought much to the office.
In a time when many politicians are reluctant to engage in public disputes, Mr. Fenwick was always willing to tackle controversial issues head on. In some instances this landed him in hot water, but he never backed down from his beliefs and was always willing to fight for his convictions.
Much like his late mother, the beloved former Rep. Millicent Fenwick, Mr. Fenwick had a keen sense of right and wrong. Regardless of whether we agreed with him, we always trusted he had the public's best interests in heart. He was a man of honesty and integrity.
To the media, he was a wonderfully articulate spokesperson who never ducked a tough issue. Whether it was a local dispute or an issue of international consequence, Mr. Fenwick was always available to lend his thoughts on a subject. In fact, as mayor he would frequently phone this newspaper from his Florida home to make himself available for press inquiries.
During interviews with the press he would seldom go off the record and never pass the buck. He was a strong believer in the public's right to know and strived to do his part to keep residents fully informed.
He was also willing to accept criticism for his actions and never took it personally, another rare characteristic that we admired tremendously.
In addition to his thoughtful insights, he also had a wonderful sense of humor that he frequently displayed to lighten serious moments.
Mr. Fenwick was not a man without faults, something he would candidly point out.
A brief stint on the Borough Council 20 years ago ended when he sought help for alcoholism. Following his rehabilitation he turned his life around and in recent years served on the Governor's Council on Alcoholism, helping others to overcome their own demons. In his typical, self-deprecating manner, he would openly talk of his experiences in the hope that others would learn from his mistakes.
He had expressed the intent to do likewise with his addiction to tobacco, especially to youths. Regrettably, his time was too short and he was unable to do so.
As we mourn his loss, we should also be grateful for his contributions to the community Mr. Fenwick was a big advocate of retaining the small town charm of his hometown. He also worked diligently to hold down taxes so that longtime residents, particularly senior citizens, could remain here without being overburdened financially.
We fondly recall one meeting when the mayor stepped down from the dais to join the audience to protest the actions of the council regarding a budgetary issue. It was vintage Fenwick, making a point with a dramatic public gesture.
The Fenwick family name has been revered in this area ever since Millicent Fenwick's distinguished public service in Congress. Her son did well to carry on that proud tradition.
We will miss him greatly.

Twitter Steve Jobs
October 7, 2011 by staff
Twitter Steve Jobs, Traffic was near record levels on Twitter Wednesday after the news of the death of Apple founder Steve Jobs.
The leaders of the high tech industry, and Apple fans and ordinary people, led to social networking sites Wednesday night and Thursday to spread the word about the use and sharing of memories and tributes to the man behind iMac, iPod, iPhone and iPad.
Around 8 pm EDT Wednesday, shortly after the news of the death of Jobs became public, was driving 6049 Twitter tweets per second, according to spokeswoman Rachael Horwitz Twitter.
"I am amazed at the amount of tweets I have, but I guess that should not be," said Zeus Kerravala, senior researchanlyst ZK. "Social networks are becoming de facto place for people to go to when you want to share information. Twitter is perfect for this sort of thing."
While Wednesday night did not set a traffic record for Twitter, which was one of the highest numbers of tweets per second site is registered.
Horwitz said that early last May, the death of al-Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden set a record at that time with a 5106 peak of tweets per second.
When Brazil was eliminated from the International Football Tournament Copa America in July 7166 saw Twitter tweets per second. The current record is 8868 tweets per second, which was established during the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards in August, said Horwitz.
Shawn White, vice president of operations for Keynote Systems, an Internet monitoring company, mobile, told Computerworld that the increase in traffic on Twitter after the death of Job was amazing.
"We saw the death of Michael Jackson and the inauguration of President Obama. Sometimes sites just get overwhelmed," said White. "The pattern we saw [on Twitter] was that things long hummed a pretty normal and then right after the announcement of the approval of Steve Jobs, the most slowly."
He noted that the time to access the home page of Twitter for many users was 3 seconds to 20 or 30 seconds. The increasingly difficult place in the load, with the first error to hit at 8:10 pm ET.
Then, the availability of the home page of Twitter dropped by 40% 8:50 to 9:05, according to Keynote.
"During that period of 15 minutes, approximately 60% of Twitter users who have achieved some sort of error when trying to reach the home page. And if we got there, it was probably very slow," White said. "But Twitter recovered fairly quickly."
Facebook declined to report their traffic figures on Wednesday night. Main site did not detect any slowdown or interruption of the social network.

Aqueous phase processing of lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel production
Mu, Wei
MetadataShow full item record
This thesis studied the catalytic upgrading of pyrolysis oil derived from both ethanol organosolv (EOL) lignin and whole biomass. There are four major components of this thesis. In the first part, several lignin model compounds and the commonly used noble metal catalysts were evaluated. During the reaction, coke formation deactivated several catalysts. The reaction pathway of the coke formation was proposed. Ruthenium/activated carbon can hydrogenate the aromatic ring and remove the methoxyl group as well due to its unique catalytic behavior. The reaction mechanism was deduced based on the products distribution of the model compounds. The second part of this study focuses on the catalytic HDO reaction with real EOL pyrolysis oil. The results indicate the reaction mechanism with EOL pyrolysis oil is similar to the results of the model compound study. Due to the deactivation of the Ru/C catalyst by tar produced during the upgrading, two-step hydrodeoxygenation at different temperature was adopted in this study. The second part mainly discussed the first-step HDO reaction. The upgraded pyrolysis oil was analyzed using GC-MS, ¹H, ¹³C, and HSQC ²D NMR. The chemical structure change after the first-step upgrading and the cleavage of the inter-linkages were included. The third part focuses on the product analysis after the second-step HDO. All the products were completely hydrogenated. The molecular weight of the upgraded oil is in the monomer range and the GC-MS study provided detailed compound structures. However, some of them still contain oxygen atoms. To produce completely deoxygenated products, alkali treated ZSM-5 was used as a supporting material and it was effective in catalyzing the dehydration reaction and producing deoxygenated compounds. In the fourth part, light oil derived from whole biomass also underwent treatment under the same HDO reaction conditions as those used in upgrading EOL pyrolysis oil. In this reaction, the biomass were separated into three components: stem, residue and bark. The compound structures of the three different types of light oil were analyzed by GC, ¹H and ¹H-¹³C HSQC-NMR. Then the light oil was processed under the same condition as the heavy oil upgrading. The reaction mechanisms with cellulose and hemicellulose were also studied. These results will be of value in developing of complete hydrogenation of whole biomass pyrolysis oils.

Publication Abstract
Authors: Onitilo AA, Stankowski RV, Engel JM, Doi SA
Title: Adequate lymph node recovery improves survival in colorectal cancer patients.
Journal: J Surg Oncol 107(8):828-34
Date: 2013 Jun
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Current recommendations suggest recovery of 12 lymph nodes during surgical resection for colorectal cancer (CRC) for proper staging and prognostication. Adequate lymph node recovery has been associated with improved patient survival, with results inconsistent. METHODS: We examined factors for association with adequate lymph node recovery and used findings to adjust survival analyses to clarify whether adequate lymph node examination is associated with CRC survival or associated with a subset of characteristics that biases lymph node recovery. RESULTS: In 74% of subjects (1,036/1,397) an adequate number of lymph nodes was examined. A stepwise multivariate regression analysis showed procedure year, cancer stage, tumor size, and age at diagnosis were significantly associated with lymph node recovery. These and other factors associated with survival status were adjusted for in further analyses, revealing no difference in unadjusted overall survival by adequacy of lymph node recovery (HR = 0.90, 95% CI: 0.75-1.08, P = 0.239). However, in adjusted Cox proportional hazards analysis, adequate lymph node recovery was associated with reduced risk for death (HR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.57-0.89, P = 0.002). CONCLUSION: The current recommendation for retrieval and examination of at least 12 lymph nodes is appropriate for proper treatment and prognostication in patients undergoing surgical resection for CRC.

elfrc is a program which can turn arbitrary files into ELF object files which can then be linked into your program directly and accessed via simple, user-defined symbol names. Since this is much more effective than turning a binary file into a C array and then compiling that, it's possible to embed even huge (a few hundred megabytes) files directly into the executable and then access the data in constant time without making the compiler or linker eat loads of memory.
The CRT X-Y Library (libcrtxy) allows you to write vector-based video games (like Asteroids, Lunar Lander, and Battlezone from the 1970s and 80s). The end-user (and/or packager of your software) determines how lines are rendered, depending on the capabilities of their system. This choice includes anti-aliasing, alpha blending, blurring, and even the display size and depth. Fixed-point math is used, and sine and cosine trigonometric functions (using look-up tables) are provided. The library is based on libSDL and uses SDL as the video backend.
libpwstor is a library implementing a password storage format for C programmers. This format provides a reasonable level of security by utilizing SHA-256 in addition to a random salt to mitigate dictionary and rainbow table attacks. In addition to the core functionality, libpwstor also offers some additional functions such as Base64 encoding and decoding. All functionality is implemented and designed in such a way as to be easy to use for C programmers of varying skill levels, while preserving reasonable security in the underlying storage format.
BSDftpd-ssl is a secure and easy-to-use FTP server that supports industry standard TLS/SSL encryption and authentication for whole FTP sessions and data transfers. This implementation supports both the original FTP protocol and the RFC2228-compliant TLS/SSL enhancement. The package contains the secure FTP server (named "ftpd") and a command line TLS/SSL-aware FTP client (named "ftps"). The server's features include logging of transfers, changing of a session root (known as "chroot"), and virtual host support.

text: Project Description Set in a forest in Stony Point, north of Charlottesville, the house is a modern interpretation of a "dogtrot". The "dogtrot" is believed to have originated in the southern Appalachian Mountains. All the public areas, including the living, dining area and kitchen are housed together in the eastern wing of the house. On the ground level of the western wing are the studio and master bedroom. On the lower level are three bedrooms that are partially embedded in the sloping hillside. The covered breezeway, with its connection to nature is where the clients are drawn on a daily basis and where they eat most of their meals there from spring to late fall. When approaching the house from the drive, you first see the north façade, a battered wall with dark stained poplar and minimal openings except for the broad breezeway. On the side, you can see the sloping north wall morphs into the roof, which slopes down to the south with a generous overhang to protect from the summer sun. On the south side, the whole house opens up to the views of the grassy terrace and surrounding forest. The project is successful on many fronts, optimizing envelope design, passive solar strategies and integrating the surrounding landscape. It is the dogtrot concept that allows the clients to spend much of their day connected to the outdoors, which also has a fundamental impact on energy use. The connection to nature combined with the thermal comfort of the concrete slab floor (diurnal shift in temperature keeps the space cool during the day and warm at night) creates a space so desirable as to change the clients' daily habits. The design of the house has led to a symbiotic relationship between the clients and their surroundings - sustainable living without sacrificing comfort.


text: The Pre'lek are bipedal reptiloids with prehensile head-tentacles. There are two Pre'lek "sexes": neuter and fertile. Fertile Pre'leks, or Pyo'wuu'ka, are divided into three classes according to which fertility cycle they are in. In the nurturing phase, Pyo'wuu'ka suckle and tend to newborn young. The next two cycles are alternating male and female phases (Pyo'wuu'ka are born hermaphroditic). If pregnancy occurs while a Pyo'wuu'ka is female, "she" is "locked" into the female cycle for the entire gestation period. Following birth, the Pyo'wuu'ka enters a brief period of inactivity and ritual seclusion -- the young being taken care of by nurturing phase Pyo'wuu'ka.

Noa Weber is a successful Israeli author of crime thrillers that feature a female-lawyer version of James Bond, Nira Woolf. Now, however, she is sitting down to write a confession of her all-consuming unrequited love for Alek, which has ruled her life.
This is the first book translated into English by Israeli author Gail Hareven. Hareven certainly has a way with words, although credit should also go to her translator, Dalya Bilu. The writing in this book pulled me in from the first page, and it was a pleasure to read. The writing should be savored, and a couple of times I had to put the book down because it was late at night and I knew I was too tired to really appreciate the prose. There are far too many passages I'd love to quote from this novel, so I'll just put in the first paragraph to give you a feel for her writing style:
The city of J lies at the top of the hills of J. That's how I'd like to begin my story; at a calm distance, with a deep breath, in a panoramic shot focusing very slowly on a single street, and very slowly on a single house, "this is the house where I was born." But you'd be making a fool of yourself if your J were Jerusalem, since every idiot knows about Jerusalem. And altogether it's impossible to talk about Jerusalem any more. Impossible, that is to say, without "winding alleys" and "stone courtyards," "caper bushes" and "Arab women in the market place." And I have nothing to say about caper bushes and stone courtyards, nor do I have the faintest desire to flavor my story with the colorful patios of colorful Jerusalem characters, twirling their mustaches as they spin Oriental tales. (p8)This book was written in an almost stream-of-consciousness style, with Noa moving back and forth between different times of her life, defeating her efforts to tell her story in a linear fashion. I thought this format worked well for the novel, and was intrigued to read about Noa's relationship with Alek and her growth into an independent feminist woman who is still debilitated by this love. I enjoyed reading about Nira Woolf, the protagonist of Weber's crime novels, who serves as a foil to the love-stricken Noa. For example:
Nira Woolf, for example, would not make that mistake, because my Nira is first of all a moral being, and it's quite clear to her what's important and what's not. Fighting for the rights of dispossessed Arabs, defrauded patients, oppressed women, abused children, and so on, exposing the "system," saving the innocent and stamping out evil - that's important. But pining and whining about luuuve when your heart's broken, all that's just self-indulgence and nonsense as far as she's concerned. (p37)However, the novel started to drag towards the middle - after the story moved past the first phase of her relationship with Alek I felt like there was less to tell and lost some of my interest. I also had to re-read the final chapter several times, and I'm still not completely sure I understand it. Although Noa claims that "there isn't going to be any historical panorama here, only me, me and my life," I think having some knowledge of Israeli politics/history is definitely helpful in understanding the conversations and events that take place over the course of the book.
I loved the writing in this book, and for the most part the plot as well. It's a book that I think I need to reread to fully appreciate, and is definitely a book to take your time with. It's hard for me to recommend this book, because while the writing is excellent and the story is interesting, it does drag in parts and it may be a tad confusing if you don't know much about the political history of Israel. Overall, I enjoyed it, and hope that I'll have time to reread it someday. In the meantime, here's one last quote - I couldn't resist!
Let's say Noa Weber is suddenly sixty-eight. A bony body full of the opinions of a militant old lady, climbing tip-tap up those same old stairs. An old body full of opinions entering its old house, and lying down on the same old bed to give its feet a rest. And when this Noa Weber finally lies down, what exactly runs through her brain's worn-out connections? Does she polish up one of her correct opinions? Reflect compassionately about one of the victims in her books? Does she think about reforming society and justice for all? Definitely not. Just like now, Noa Weber thinks about him. (p11-12)

Rupee gains 49 paise to close at 4-1/2-mth high of 53.02
Forex dealers said dollar selling was so strong that some weakness in local equities and also in the US currency overseas did not have impact on rupee
Mumbai: The rupee gained 49 paise Thursday to end at over 4-1/2-month high of 53.02 against the US dollar on heavy selling of the American currency by exporters and some banks.
Forex dealers said dollar selling was so strong that some weakness in local equities and also in the US currency overseas did not have impact on rupee
The local unit logged a low of 53.55 in early trade. However, heavy dollar selloff by exporters and some banks amid continuing signs of dollar inflows by foreign funds helped the rupee to bounce back to a high of 53.00 before settling at 53.02, showing a rise of 49 paise, or 0.92 percent from its last close.
The rupee had concluded at 52.91 on May 7 this year.
Meanwhile, the BSE benchmark Sensex Thursday ended lower by 52.67 points, or 0.28 percent, at 18,579.50.
"The positive domestic sentiments ruled the day, aiding sharp gains in rupee on active policy reforms agenda and government supportive supreme court verdict on auctions," Alpari Financial Services (India) CEO Pramit Brahmbhatt said.
Lack of major dollar buying by importers, mainly oil refiners, on hopes of further fall in oil prices overseas also aided the rupee sentiment, dealers said.
New York crude oil was trading just above USD 91 a barrel and Brent North Sea crude for November delivery was quoting below USD 111 a barrel.
The dollar index was slightly weak by 0.06 pct against a basket of six major global rivals ahead of the Spanish government's budget later in the day with a little bit of optimism.
The premium for the forward dollar fell back on fresh receipts by exporters.

"Great book didn't like narration style"
Five star content. My only criticism was on the narration. Narrator's voice was pleasant, but she read words like quote and end quote and open parentheses. It was very distracting from topic and, ironically, added waste to the book.
"parentheses end parentheses, quotation mark, end q"
oK I have the same experiences and qualifications as the author. Its a good executive read but the constant use of parentheses, end parentheses, drove me nuts.
"Annoying narrator"
Book had great content and I ordered a paperback but the narrator was completely annoying. Ma'am, please don't READ the punctuation but instead allow it to guide your inflection.
"open quotes Distracting Narration close quotes"
I could not listen to the narration of this book because of the Siri like format. The narrator has a great voice and reads well but includes the words "begin quote, end quote, open parenthesis and close parenthesis" - it might have been ok on occasion but the author uses a lot of quotes and parenthesis.
"One of the first lean books read"
I have been in organizations of which I embraced lean, however always wondered why I still hear from those within who do not embrace. Is this a reflection of poor trickle down from half-vested management, or is there just always going to be acceptable resistance?

The Hotel Luna Azul was as good as all the reviews indicted it would be. Rolf and Andreas are terrific hosts and were very patient with our many questions - they helped with everything from car rental advice to beach recommendations. The rooms were immaculate and spacious, and the view from ours (an "ocean view room") was great. We loved seeing and hearing the howler monkeys from the balcony. The grounds/gardens were lush and well taken care of, and the restaurant and pool area was relaxing and beautiful. And the food - well let's just say that in most Costa Rican hotels, we've felt a sense of dread at what we might find at mealtime. But the Luna Azul menu was a delight - fresh daily specials from delicious local ingredients - every meal was really, really good. When we are back to the Nosara/Ostinal area, this is where we'll be staying!

I suspect it to be a bug and just replicated your issue on a standalone machine and came up with the same result.
But I do not see any impact being caused with the case sensitiveness. Let me look out for any supportive documents.
2. Re: Two entries for snapshot controlfileNeo-b Jan 14, 2013 12:48 PM (in response to Shivananda Rao)Hello,
Yes I did the same configuration on three RAC databases and it is the same result, duplication of entries.
I am trying to search Oracle Supports note, with no luck to find anything about this issue.
3. Re: Two entries for snapshot controlfileNeo-b Jan 26, 2013 3:04 PM (in response to Neo-b)The only solution was to set the snapshot control file name to lower case as below:
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '+FRA/dbname/snapcf_dbname.f'
