Kirill Karabits
The 32-year-old Ukrainian tells us why Shostakovich's Eleventh Symphony inspired him to become a conductor
This symphony holds a special place for you, I believe…
This is the symphony that made me become a conductor. When I was 11 or 12 I was really fascinated by orchestral sound and colour. I had an old LP at home with Kirill Kondrashin conducting, and I remember I listened a thousand times to that fugato in the middle of the symphony. This is something that seriously made me like the orchestra, so it was a very special piece for me.
It has been dubbed a 'film-score without the film' – do you agree?
In general I don't like to describe music like this – here the soldiers are coming, and at this rehearsal number they start to shoot, and here they finish. There are of course moments when you imagine certain things, especially in this symphony where every movement has a name. But I don't think music should be described like that. That's actually the difference between a symphony and a film. In a symphony you can imagine for yourself and it might be different – music gives you the space for imagination and that has more value than describing in which bar who is doing what. Because I'm sure Shostakovich didn't think like that.
Soviet propaganda about the events of 1905, or a secret anti-Soviet work sparked by the 1956 Hungarian uprising – what's your take on the piece's political theme?
For me the statement that Shostakovich is making is not propaganda. I'm convinced that if you read the story about the symphony and the things that are described then you might think it's a political symphony, but if you listen to the music then you know that he was suffering, that a lot of people were killed but he believed in humanity and that war is not necessarily the best thing. You feel it. For me that's the real reason for the symphony, not the political theme.
What are the challenges of conducting this piece?
The challenge is that you have to create an atmosphere from the very beginning. Shostakovich is famous for his long, slow introductions, and in this symphony that's the case. The very long, slow first movement puts a stamp on the whole piece; atmosphere is most important for me. It's how you create the energy in the hall that you will be judged by, not by the orchestral playing. Technically, it's not the most difficult symphony to perform but its climaxes, explosions and silences, these create a special atmosphere.

Park benches offered in many styles and materials
Highland Products Group offers a full selection of outdoor benches in a variety of materials, including high-quality Teak Wood, ecologically friendly Recycled Plastic, Concrete, Thermoplastic-Coated Metal, Aluminum, and Decorative Cast Iron Frame Benches.
Highland's extensive line of park benches includes many benches that are part of our broader line of commercial site furnishings, making them ideal for country clubs, beach clubs, schools, universities, municipal parks, office parks, retail lifestyle centers, multi-family apartment complex, stadiums, arenas, office parks, churches, convention centers, restaurant waiting areas, and anywhere else a high-quality coordinated product mix of benches, picnic tables, trash receptacles, planters, and ash urns is desired.
Whether you are purchasing a single bench for your home or you are purchasing 100 commercial benches for your factory outlet, lifestyle center, casino complex, university campus, golf resort, or state park, Highland Products Group is committed to your satisfaction.
Did you know?
New York City's Central Park has approximately 9,000 park benches, which would stretch seven miles if placed end to end?
How many people are you looking to accommodate?
Industry standard states every 18" equals one seat. All outdoor park benches are available in a variety of sizes starting as short as 4 feet and measuring as large as 15 feet. If your trying to accommodate 20 people and want to know how many 6 foot benches they should purchase, simply utilize the below calculation.
Convert 6 feet into inches = 72 inches per park bench. Divide the result by 18 to determine how many people can fit on one bench. 72/18=4 people per bench. The customer in this example will need five 6 foot benches to accommodate 20 patrons.
How do I know what mounting option I need?
There are three common mounting options industry wide. Portable, surface mount and In-ground mount. Each mounting option satisfies a specific requirement.
Portable - A portable mount is required if you would like to move the park bench from one location to another. This is a non-permanent mount that will just allow the product to rest on a flat level surface independently without anchoring.
Surface Mount -The surface mount option is meant for the customer that wants to anchor the park benches down so they are semi-permanent. This mounting option requires a concrete or asphalt surface in order to anchor bolts into the mounting surface. The surface mount option is one that can be flexible. If your customer wants to relocate the bench, they just need to remove the anchor bolts and relocate the bench to the location of choice.
In-Ground - This mounting option is the most permanent of the three mounting options. The most common placement for an in-ground mount is in a grassy area or in an area that will have a future concrete pad. This mounting option requires more labor than the other two mounting options as a predetermined number of holes must be drilled a minimum of 16" below grade, concrete must be poured in each hole, and the frame must be set in the concrete overnight for curing. Once the concrete has cured overnight then the balance of the components can be attached to the already installed frame. This is a permanent mounting option and cannot be relocated once installed. There is a word of caution when utilizing in-ground mount. If the outdoor park benches are not at the proper depth below grade, the thaw and freezing conditions can boost the benches out of the ground.
How do I know what material type I need?
Where are you installing the product? If your venue is a Hotel and you want to place commercial benches along the beach behind the hotel, then you will need to recommend a non-corrosive material that will not rust in a salt environment. Our best recommendation would be either Recycled Plastic or Concrete. You will want to stay away from any type of material that has metal as a salt environment will just corrode any type of metal.
If your venue is a park and recreation and you're looking to purchase park benches to place throughout your property, almost anything goes. A key thing to consider is how much use these park benches will get. The use will determine how durable of a material you will need. Another factor to consider will be the maintenance schedule. In the industry we know that a park bench manufactured with wood requires the highest amount of maintenance. A great recommendation for low maintenance options would be recycled plastic or thermoplastic coated park benches.
In a hurry with your project? The Park Catalog now has a ParkExpress program where a selection of our park benches for sale can be shipped in just 3 days. We stock up on our more popular commercial park benches so we can ship them to you quickly without sacrificing quality, craftsmanship or materials.

In this country, citizens across a broad spectrum of diverse backgrounds don't often come together over a cause. We just don't organize much anymore. Our rights and liberties were bought and fought for some time ago. Or so we think –
We expect our water and electricity to just work. We expect to easily cross neighborhood boundaries for markets, brunches, or parks without incident. We hope our voting mechanisms work, and when they don't, we are outraged – and tell everyone on Facebook things should be different.
Generally speaking, most citizens have very little insight to what government actually does. And government probably feels that citizens are entitled, complacent, and whiney. Both perspectives are accurate.
This didn't just happen, it's been in the works for a very long time. The systems in which we operate (society, neighborhoods and government) are not really designed for openness and responsiveness. They are designed to run as efficiently as possible for the most people possible. When was the last time your water didn't work, or your electricity? When is the last time you really went without, in terms of basic government provisions? Though we usually fail to notice it, government programs and policies improve our daily lives in innumerable ways.
The problem is, the people in government are stuck in processes that close them off to the daily lives of its citizens. Government is designed for top-down messages, most of which people struggle to make relevant to their lives (if they consider what government has to say at all). The system is breaking down and everyone knows it. The failure here is lack of real leadership.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in neighborhood meetings, where government tries to put its best foot forward and in the first sentence, pretty much loses its audience. After about 14 years of living in the Central District and Pioneer Square, Seattle, I've seen first-hand the inequality of neighborhood safety/protection and general funding priorities. Nowhere has this been more apparent than the latest incident in Pioneer Square.
In response to neighborhood unrest, the Mayor had two events: Stand For Compassion, and a Neighborhood Summit. Both could not have been more disappointing. The introduction of this article pretty much sums it up.
Seattle's soul might be said to reside in its neighborhoods, but often immersion in neighborhood politics feels more a ride in the back of a Metro bus.…
Still, the recent Neighborhood Summit was important. Seattle's disaffected hinterlands — almost any place outside of downtown — carry a lot of anger and distrust about city government's intentions and responsiveness. The neighborhoods were asked to plan for growth; most did, then saw their plans shelved, overrun by events, or ignored. Some neighborhoods have had to absorb more than their fair share of growth, others have seen affordable housing shunted aside for high-priced high-rises, most have seen potholes proliferate.
"It's harder to make eye contact here than it is in New York. You need to come check out #uptown #parks we have a great grant writer."
Aside from the out-of-touch presentations of the meeting, there were a number of lost opportunities at this event. Two stand out:
- 1. Uninterested & Understaffed Police
A first miss was a lack of actively attentive, and interested police presence. It may sound like I'm being hard on the police department…and to some degree I am. While the Mayor doesn't staff the neighborhood, the police that are here aren't stepping in on bad behavior. Our neighborhood has numerous examples of de-policing and slow response from 911:
- "I've watched a sailor try to sexually assault a veeeery drunk girl at Seafair last year in the outside doorway by Seattle Fitness. The best was watching her throw up all over his little Popeye suit. I then turned on my bullhorn and informed him I could see everything, and he'd better let her go."
- "I've watched a drunk dude get in his car and drive right into the back of the car parked in front of him. At least that one brought the cops around. "
- "I've watched a car rear end a cab in the intersection of 1st Ave South and King. Then the two guys got out of the car, and started beating the cab driver, while I watched 3 different SPD cars drive by, slow down, then speed up and drive away. When I called 911 about it, the dispatcher said they were coming, and when I told her 3 other cars had just driven by, she told me to watch MY tone."
- "SPD has almost zero presence. I know Cowgirls is supposed to have their front door shut after 9, but I can hear those servers barking on the mike in there from MY BEDROOM while I'm watching Saturday Night Live. I actually know the playlist Thursday-Saturday, because I hear it in MY BEDROOM."
- "It's Trinity and Fuel I can't stand. Especially Fuel. The amount of ridiculous illegal activity that goes on in the parking lot across from it drives me mad. Watching a drunk guy stumble out of there and start smashing car windows as he walks to his own car is just one of the more time things I've seen happen there."
2. No One too Man The "Hoods"
The Neighborhood Summit had No Neighborhood Reps
A second miss was a lack of city council presence at the event, as well as neighborhood organizations. The tables were "claimed" by neighborhood residents, whom politely asked that other neighborhoods not sit at their table. There was also not enough seating for everyone. The wrong kind of seating, audience style, did not facilitate conversation. And not enough table seating created territories.
Recommendation: Lay a foundation for Meaningful Participation.
- Ask for Meaningful Contributions.
Too often, we invite people to participate in ways that are trivial or just plain useless. People don't want to be talked-at. Society today is about two-way communication. So few large institutions really understand what this means. They need to take a page from Gavin Newsom. "In a world where people can do anything at the touch of a button—shop, communicate, do research, publish a blog, transfer money—government cannot keep functioning in a twentieth-century mind-set." It is about openness over control. As a rule, ask important questions, the answers to which should benefit the organization, or your own life. If the question being asked of more than 10 people provides boring responses, you're asking the wrong question.
What would have come of having easels throughout the room with questions such as:
- When crime happens in my neighborhood I wish, that….
- When I see homeless in my parks, I wish that…
- When I see litter around my streets, I wonder…
- Scaffold The Experience.
A blank page can be a scary thing, but give people a list to start from, and suddenly everyone is an executive – leverage that. Scaffolding provides a framework for participation. It works best when the framework matches the task at hand. If you want people to write a letter, give them one to start from and let them modify it. If you want people to vote on top issues, put ten of the top issues around the room and let them vote with stickers on which ones need to be focused on for that conversation. Have City Council members host a round-robin conversation with groups of 8-10 people on that particular issue…share feedback and outcomes. When tools fit the experience, it's simultaneously immersive and focuses people on the task at hand. The experience adds valuable content to the process government is trying to guide.
- Honor The Participant.
Don't "shush" them. Not everyone came for four hours of listening to data from a year ago. They came to collaborate on something common to all of them. And, not everyone wants to actively participate. The majority would often prefer to stand back and watch. If you are inviting participation that is highly involved, make sure to build in secondary ways to participate. This might mean voting on favorite entries, commenting, or snapping pictures. The more public the participatory experience, the more likely people are to move from spectating to participating. When you can watch other people do it first, it builds confidence and trust that this is a worthwhile activity.
On April 5, the room was filled with willing minds and hands. So much energy and enthusiasm just lost as presentations droned on with dated information. The neighborhood summits could have been and still could be a great local hub event with hackathons dedicated to solving community problems. Here is an example.

You will find Around the World in Eighty Wines and the other wine books by Mike Veseth at all the usual online and brick-and-mortar locations (click on the Amazon, Books-a-Million, IndieBound, Powell's or Barnes & Noble button to order your copy today).

16. The Best of Wines or the Worst of Wines?
Writing with wit and verve, Mike Veseth (a.k.a. the Wine Economist) tells the compelling story of the war between the market trends that are redrawing the world wine map and the terroirists who resist them. Wine and the wine business are at a critical crossroad today, transformed by three powerful forces.
Veseth begins with the first force, globalization, which is shifting the center of the wine world as global wine markets provide enthusiasts with a rich but overwhelming array of choices. Two Buck Chuck, the second force, symbolizes the rise of branded products like the famous Charles Shaw wines sold in Trader Joe's stores. Branded corporate wines simplify the worldwide wine market and give buyers the confidence they need to make choices, but they also threaten to dumb down wine, sacrificing terroir to achieve marketable McWine reliability.
Will globalization and Two Buck Chuck destroy the essence of wine? Perhaps, but not without a fight, Veseth argues. He counts on "the revenge of the terroirists" to save wine's soul. But it won't be easy as wine expands to exotic new markets such as China and the very idea of terroir is attacked by both critics and global climate change.
Veseth has "grape expectations" that globalization, Two Buck Chuck, and the revenge of the terroirists will uncork a favorable future for wine in an engaging tour-de-force that will appeal to all lovers of wine, whether it be boxed, bagged, or bottled.
"In the fine tradition of insightful and accessible bestsellers like Freakonomics and The World Is Flat, Wine Warsprovides a valuable service to wine enthusiasts everywhere. By combining a clear-eyed economist's point of view with globalization expertise, Veseth offers an insightful and accessible survey that will give readers an understanding not only of what's in the glass, but also how it got there, and what the future may hold as the borders of the global wine village draw closer. This is an important work and a fun read, too." –Jeff Lefevere, writer, Goodgrape.com
"If we are what we drink, Mike Veseth knows the reasons have as much to do with market forces as mouthfeel. He is as at home with a winery's annual report as a vintner's tasting notes, and this delightfully unstuffy tour of the modern wine industry will fascinate anyone who wants to understand how business works today." –Sasha Issenberg, author of The Sushi Economy: Globalization and the Making of a Modern Delicacy
"Wine is, first and foremost, a business, though the nuts and bolts of economic survival rarely make for good reading. Enter Mike Veseth, who brings the mind of a trained academic and the writing talent of a veteran blogger to this fascinating exploration of the macroeconomic forces shaping the global wine industry. He knows his subject inside and out, and after reading Wine Wars you will have a deeper understanding of the major trends that are shaping not only the business of wine but the actual flavors of the wines you drink." –Paul Gregutt, columnist, blogger, and author of Washington Wines & Wineries: The Essential Guide
Three major "flights," or selection of wines for tasting, the first being the effects of globalization. Looking at expansionist politics and economics, he examines retailing policies in domestic markets such as England, Germany, and the U.S. Veseth turns to the wine drinking market and its evolution, and the ever-expanding influence of wine criticism on both in the face of the rapid changes in bulk production. The last part of his analysis looks at terroir and the potential effect of climate change….Veseth's analysis is provocative. (Publishers Weekly )
Seeking to view the global wine trade through an economist's lens, Veseth (international political economy, Univ. of Puget Sound; Globaloney: Unraveling the Myths of Globalization) takes readers through an engaging examination of international wine markets and the impact of consumers. Veseth carefully explains the construction of stores' wine walls, including the psychological, physiological, and economic impact of the placement of wines on them (think of reaching up for the "top shelf"). Also included is an analysis and breakdown of the wine consumer market into distinctive groups, such as "Satisfied Sippers," "Image Seekers," and "Wine Enthusiasts." Veseth's basic premise is that the modern, globalized market now pits mass-made bargain wines against stuffy, epicurean standbys, creating limitless choices for certain types of consumers and turning the traditional model for what drives industry sales on its head. VERDICT This book will interest not only oenophiles but also general readers following the global economy or market analysis. (Library Journal)
Mike Veseth's Wine Wars is broader than simply a book on the economics of wine, but it definitely looks at the trends that shaped the global wine industry as it has become today from an economist's perspective….These stories are fascinating and informative….Anyone with an intellectual curiosity as to how all the factors came together to produce the wines available to us today will find much in Wine Wars to satisfy that curiosity. (New York Journal Of Books )
Written by a wine economics expert who lives in Washington, this book provides fascinating history on the globalization of the wine industry – and why that is not necessarily a bad thing. Veseth convincingly makes arguments for why inexpensive wine is not a problem and why the wine world is unlikely to collapse on itself. All in all, it is a comprehensive, well-written and glass-half-full book. Frankly, I learned a great deal about wine, how it is made and the history of many wine regions. I learned a great deal about the Chinese market, as well as the problems going on in France and Australia. This was a hugely entertaining and valuable read. (Good Reads )
Of all the wine blogs in the wide, wide blogosphere, one that I look forward to reading the most is Mike Veseth's Wine Economist. There's nothing else quite like it….As of this month, Professor Veseth's thoughts are available in long form. He's just published a book entitled Wine Wars in which he tackles economic forces as diverse as Two Buck Chuck (he's a fan), the oft-debated descent of 'real' wine into 'McWine,' and much else. It's more business book than guide to wine — but students of wine as well as the economy will find much to enlighten and even entertain, thanks to Professor Veseth's readable style. (Lettie Teague, Wall Street Journal )
It's said that wine is bottled poetry, but Mike Veseth knows it is also big business. Veseth, a professor of international political economy at the University of Puget Sound in Washington, has pulled together his love of wine and economic sensibilities to write a book that is an interesting, accessible read. Veseth is clearly enthusiastic about both wine and economics, and as a self-proclaimed "wine economist" he explains the intersection of these interests with verve. It's a quick tour of the field, and for the purposes of his discussion, he sticks to big names and describes the successes of Yellow Tail, Charles Shaw, Blue Nun, Costco, Tesco and even Olive Garden with admiration. As an economist he sees the benefits of globalization, including more choices for consumers and a stabilizing effect for an industry that reacts slowly to changes in supply and demand. (Wine Spectator )
Veseth expertly presents the economic forces that are shaping wine consumption, and he frets about the beverage's future, particularly with the pushback seen by "terroirists"-people who are obsessive about a wine's "terroir," that its identity reflect its unique growing conditions and place. The battle for wine's future isn't only about money, he posits, but also about power struggles between vintners, retailers, and governments….In his artful and sometimes amusing analysis of the "wars" taking place within the wine world as a result of all these skirmishes. Veseth untangles a complicated issue and provides a cogent summary of an industry's challenges. For anyone who appreciates a good glass of wine-or who's been disappointed by a bad one, despite a high sticker price-Veseth's insights will prove tantalizing. (Foreword Reviews )
From the get-go you just don't want to put this book down, slaloming as it does informatively through economic and social history, the wine industry, the future, and observations setting the scene for the great battle between the market forces redrawing the world wine map and, as Veseth puts it, 'the terroirists who are trying to stop them'. (JancisRobinson.com)
A clear-eyed and expansive take on globalism and big business in wine. It's a welcome addition to the wine book shelf…. For many writers, the wine business is handled as a dry, academic subject, but in the hands of Veseth (like Perdue before him) it's interesting and zippy reading (bordering on a fun vacation read) and an incredibly helpful primer for not only the newly wine interested to help them understand the wine wall at their grocery store, but also savvy veterans who have, perhaps, focused their learning in specific regions, not looking at the wine world in totality and from a business perspective. (Good Grape )

Exercise-based rehabilitation programs for heart patients are tied to health benefits even among the most elderly, according to a new study.
"Unfortunately, there are some people even now who believe (some patients are) too old to go into such programs. We don't believe so. It's quite the reverse. You do get a benefit from this," said Dr. Killian Robinson, one of the study authors from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
So-called cardiac rehabilitation is often prescribed for patients who have had heart surgery or a major cardiac problem, such as a heart attack.
It usually involves returning to the hospital several times a week for a few months for monitored exercise, taking medication to control heart-related risk factors and making lifestyle improvements.
Numerous studies have found that cardiac rehabilitation can improve patients' health and reduce their chances of dying early (see Reuters Health report of June 10, 2011 here: reut.rs/kbcoAn).
"Cardiac rehabilitation is probably the best kept secret in cardiovascular medicine today. It's underutilized for those who are eligible for the program, and especially underutilized for older adults," said Dr. Randal Thomas, director of the Cardiovascular Health Clinic at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, who was not part of the study.
It's estimated that only about 30 percent of eligible patients attend a cardiac rehab program.
Doctors are expected to refer patients to cardiac rehab, but very few people take advantage of it for a number of reasons, including difficulty traveling to the hospital regularly, a lack of insurance coverage or not understanding its benefits, Thomas said.
To see whether cardiac rehab can help older patients as much as younger people, Robinson and his colleagues collected information on patients' weight, quality of life, exercise abilities, blood pressure and cholesterol before and after a rehab program.
Out of 1,112 heart patients in the study, 79 were over 80 years old.
Both younger and older patients improved on nearly all measures by the end of 36 rehab sessions, the researchers report in The American Journal of Cardiology.
For example, systolic blood pressure - the top number in a blood pressure reading - dropped by 3.8 mm Hg in the younger group from a starting point of 122 mm Hg and by 5.5 mm Hg among older patients, from 129 mm Hg.
Healthy levels are considered below 120 mm Hg.
Patients' exercise capacity, measured by the highest level of exertion they could achieve, also improved in both groups.
A metabolic equivalent (MET) score of three represents low or moderate intensity exercise, such as walking, while a score of five requires more exertion, such as with dancing.
The younger patients increased their exercise capacity to 5.1 points, on average, up from 2.7 at the beginning of the study.
The elderly patients went from a peak exertion of 2.2 points up to 3.2.
Dr. Carl Lavie, medical director of cardiac rehabilitation and prevention at the John Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute at the University of Queensland School of Medicine in New Orleans, said fitness is a crucial component of health and longevity.
Although the improvements in exercise capacity among the very old were not as large as the gains seen among younger patients, they are still meaningful, said Lavie, who wasn't involved in the research.
"The elderly are more debilitated, so this very small improvement could make a real significant improvement in their quality of life and allow them to do things they wouldn't ordinarily be able to do from a functional standpoint," he said.
Robinson said the study shows that cardiac rehabilitation works for the oldest patients, and that doctors should be more assertive in getting their patients on board.
He said cardiac rehab is considered safe for the vast majority of patients well enough to undergo heart surgery.
It would not be recommended for patients with crippling arthritis, orthopedic issues or debilitating cancers or those having other surgeries or facing the end of life.
The new study did not randomly assign patients to receive cardiac rehab or not, so the researchers can't say how patients would have fared without the program.
It's also possible that patients in the study were a healthier bunch than the average person who might be referred for cardiac rehabilitation.
Lavie said there are plenty of other studies, however, showing that patients in cardiac rehab have better outcomes than those who don't attend.
"It's a therapy that's been absolutely proven to decrease mortality and to improve quality of life and improve functional capacity," he said.

increase-streaming-speeds-with-a-vpnTODO ?>
When you're online you want to browse, stream and download at maximum speed and without interruption. Yet all too often you find your Internet connection is slow. It's not the speed you want, nor what you've signed up and paid for. A look at streaming speeds around the world reveals that speeds for video services, and Netflix in particular, are bad. Streaming speeds in Asia Pacific are inconsistent, for example, with some countries experiencing speeds well below the global average.
There are two ways your ISP can slow you down: throttling and peering agreements.
Throttling is when your ISP chooses to slow down (throttle) your Internet connection, based on your Internet activity.
How do they do it? ISPs often use deep packet inspection (DPI) servers to inspect your Internet traffic so they can identify what traffic they want to slow down or restrict. If you're watching "too much" content or using a service that competes with something the ISP also offers (i.e., Netflix or HBO GO, which are often substitutes for video directly offered by the ISP), your ISP may decide it's time to slow down your Internet connection. DPI has obvious privacy implications, as your ISP is inspecting your online activity (the sites you visit, shows you watch). Despite these risks, ISPs frequently use DPI to monitor Internet traffic and throttle user connections.
Why do they do it? ISPs throttle intentionally, because they don't want to make the investments in their network to deliver the speeds they promise customers or to handicap competing "over the top" products. Even if you have "unlimited" or high bandwidth, if you're using "too much" or the "wrong kind" of data the ISP may decide to throttle your connection and limit your usage. Throttling is particularly popular in regions of the world where ISP is in a monopoly or duopoly situation and doesn't have much competition in the marketplace. Because users don't have a viable option to switch ISPs, the ISP can reduce speeds without meaningful repercussion.
Peering Agreements – Intentionally Ignoring Congestion
Peering occurs when two ISPs connect and exchange traffic over their networks, and intentionally ignore network congestion.
How do they do it? The ISPs utilize each others' networks to deliver content to users in the fastest manner possible, and a peering agreement generally dictates that traffic sent between the two networks maintains a ratio that both parties agree on. Since networks have large capacity, congestion rarely occurs and does so in a small number of locations – usually when the ISPs "interconnect with some last mile ISPs like Verizon."
However, ISPs choose to intentionally ignore the congestion issues on their networks. As explained by Techdirt, it's easy to clear up the congestion but ISPs choose not to:
"Verizon, Comcast and AT&T have deliberately made the decision not to make rather basic and inexpensive upgrades to their interconnection points that would solve the congestion problems with Netflix."
Source: Level3 Proves That Verizon Is Absolutely To Blame For Netflix Congestion… Using Verizon's Own Blog Post
To learn more about Peering agreements, please check out our infographic "Netflix vs. Comcast – The Peering Problem"
Why do they do it? When the ISP sells broadband and other services like their own sponsored video or streaming music, "over the top" alternatives become competitors. They intentionally ignore (and sometimes purposefully cause) congestion to degrade performance of the competing service. They can also require the service (i.e. Netflix) to pay them for facilitating the bandwidth needed to avoid congestion even though the user has already paid them for uncongested service.
Level 3 (a telecommunications company) illustrates that congestion occurs when the ISP's content business is threatened by content providers, such as Netflix:
"The bit that is congested is the place where the Level 3 and Verizon networks interconnect. Level 3's network interconnects with Verizon's in ten cities; three in Europe and seven in the United States. The aggregate utilization of those interconnections in Europe on July 8, 2014 was 18% (a region where Verizon does NOT sell broadband to its customers). The utilization of those interconnections in the United States (where Verizon sells broadband to its customers and sees Level 3 and online video providers such as Netflix as competitors to its own CDN and pay TV businesses) was about 100%."
Source: Verizon's Accidental Mea Culpa
How to Improve Streaming Speeds
Using a VPN, like VyprVPN, increases your streaming speeds. When you encrypt your connection your ISP cannot see your traffic or what you're doing online, so it's much harder for them to throttle your connection based on your activity. With VyprVPN you can achieve significantly faster speeds when streaming content. With VyprVPN you can stream at maximum speed, with less risk of buffering and slow, pixelated connections.
Golden Frog is the only VPN provider that runs its own network, which means we own and operate the network hardware. We are continually upgrading our network, working on new peering agreements that favor the user and buying additional bandwidth across the world. Unlike the duopoly or monopoly ISP business, the VPN industry is highly competitive and we work hard to deliver the fastest speeds possible, including streaming speeds. Replace your ISP with VyprVPN and never worry about throttling or peering agreements again.

Learning to Share: Measuring Use of a Digitized Collection on Flickr and in the IR
There is very little public data on usage of digitized library collections. New methods for promoting and sharing digitized collections are created all the time, but very little investigation has been done on the effect of those efforts on usage of the collections on library websites. This study attempts to measure the effects of reposting a collection on Flickr on use of the collection in a library-run institutional repository. The results are inconclusive, but the paper provides background on the topic and guidance for future efforts.

SEC Charges Accountant for Madoff Clients for Role in Creating False Books and Records
Washington D.C., Sept. 26, 2013 —
The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged the longtime accountant for many of Bernard Madoff's oldest and wealthiest clients for his role in the creation of false books and records used in the massive Ponzi scheme.
The SEC alleges that Paul Konigsberg's assistance resulted in the formation of inaccurate trade confirmations each month as well as the development of phony data and records documenting the fabricated trades that were, in turn, falsely reflected in the ledgers and related books and records at Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BMIS).
"Konigsberg played a vital role in Madoff's deception of his oldest and wealthiest clients over many years," said Andrew M. Calamari, Director of the SEC's New York Regional Office. "Konigsberg's acquiescence, cooperation, and collaboration were essential to the Madoff fraud."
In a parallel action, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York today announced criminal charges against Konigsberg.
According to the SEC's complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Konigsberg aided and abetted the falsification of books and records at BMIS from at least the mid-1990s to late 2008. Konigsberg provided tax or accounting services for more than 200 BMIS client accounts, including five of Madoff's wealthiest and oldest clients who invested more than a billion dollars combined in BMIS. Konigsberg received fees directly from BMIS clients for the accounting services that he provided them, and BMIS and Madoff paid him a monthly fee of $15,000 or $20,000 as a "retainer" for providing accounting services to a wealthy and longtime Madoff client and his adult children.
The SEC alleges that Konigsberg coordinated with BMIS staff to:
- Decide upon desired investment or tax gains and losses to be manufactured and reflected on BMIS account statements and in BMIS computer systems to ensure his clients enjoyed favorable tax treatment for their purported investment activity.
- Confer about backdated trades and fictitious account activity entered into the computer systems to create the desired trading results.
- Return or destroy his clients' true BMIS account statements and design alternative fictitious account activity to be entered into the firm's books and records and reflected on new phony account statements.
The SEC's complaint alleges that Konigsberg, who lives in Greenwich, Conn., aided and abetted the BMIS violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 17a-3, and Section 204 of the Investment Advisers Act and Rule 204-2. The SEC's complaint seeks disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, financial penalties, and permanent injunctions against Konigsberg.
The SEC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The SEC's investigation is continuing.

I've moved!
Hey guys,
I've moved! You can find me at
About the new site:
- I was finding that most of the things I used to blog about ("news," "around blogosphere," "check out this article" type posts) I now tweet, which doesn't take up as much time. This new site will be premium content only, which means true articles written by me.
- A comments section for articles is a feature they're still developing and should be available in a couple of months. Until then, talk to me on Twitter.
- Those who were receiving e-mail notifications for the old blog will continue to get e-mails about new articles. If you'd like to sign up, just send me an e-mail, and I'll add you to my distribution list (email@example.com)
- I will also post new articles on Script Mag's blog if you or someone you know is not be able to view the site.
- One of the old books is an "easter egg" you can click. Eventually, you'll be able to click all of the old books.
- There are many valid reasons to complain about the new site - no RSS feed, no search function, no archives, and no url's for individual articles. So sorry but I need to do something a whole lot more creative and fun than what I had before. I hope you'll have fun with me.

Asian Labour Migrants and Humanitarian Crises: Lessons from Libya
Brian Kelly, Regional Emergency & Post Crisis Adviser, IOM
Andrew Bruce, Regional Director, IOM
Media coverage of the suffering of innocent civilians during times of armed civil conflict rarely highlights that many are temporary workers from other countries. Migrant workers play an integral part in sustaining the economies and societies of many countries today, particularly in the Middle East. However, they are rarely the focus of the international community or the media.
International labour migrants in conflict zones are generally more vulnerable than the native population. Migrants may not speak the local language or share the same culture and are often at the bottom of the economic pyramid. Their employers may be a party to the conflict, leaving the workers vulnerable to targeted attacks from opposing parties. In reality, however, most migrant workers are just like any other civilians caught in a war zone: innocent and scared. Their immediate proximity to danger and conflict is balanced against the negative impact that losing their jobs could have on their families back home.
The Libyan civil war that began in February 2011 resulted in the displacement and evacuation of migrants on size and scale not seen in recent years, with hundreds of thousands fleeing to neighbouring countries. The migration crisis highlighted the inadequacy of the response of the international community and raised questions regarding the efficacy of existing coordination mechanisms and frameworks and the different roles for state actors and international organizations such as the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and Migration Policy Institute (MPI) held an event to discuss these critical issues and launch Asian Labour Migrants and Humanitarian Crises: Lessons from Libya, the 3rd issue in an eight paper monthly joint-publication series offering succinct insights on migration issues affecting the Asia-Pacific region today.

1. Social Stigma: Sex work is often associated with societal taboos and moral judgments, leading to discrimination and exclusion. Sex workers in Malabar Hill encounter social stigma that hinders their access to basic rights, services, and opportunities.
2. Legal Ambiguities: The legal status of sex work in India is ambiguous. While exchanging sex for money is not explicitly criminalized, related activities such as soliciting, running brothels, and pimping are illegal. This legal ambiguity creates an environment of vulnerability for sex workers, making them susceptible to exploitation and harassment.
3. Health Risks: The lack of access to healthcare and safe working conditions puts sex workers at a higher risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV/AIDS. Outreach programs and initiatives that provide health services and education are vital to protect the health of sex workers and prevent the spread of infections.
4. Economic Vulnerability: Many individuals turn to sex work due to economic hardships and limited job opportunities. The absence of alternative livelihood options forces them into a trade that often lacks financial security and prospects for advancement.
5. Human Trafficking: Some individuals are forced into sex work through human trafficking networks, exacerbating their vulnerabilities and diminishing their agency. Addressing human trafficking is a crucial aspect of any comprehensive strategy to support sex workers in Malabar Hill.
Efforts to improve the lives of sex workers in Malabar Hill should focus on:
• Decriminalization: Advocating for the decriminalization of sex work, coupled with legal reforms, can provide sex workers with better legal protection and reduce their vulnerability to exploitation.
• Access to Services: Ensuring access to healthcare, education, legal aid, and social support services can empower sex workers to lead healthier and more dignified lives.
• Community Engagement: Engaging with sex worker communities to understand their needs and preferences is essential for designing effective interventions and policies that address their unique challenges.
• Awareness and Education: Raising public awareness and education about sex work can help reduce stigma and promote understanding, fostering an environment that respects the rights and dignity of sex workers.
• Prevention and Rehabilitation: Targeted programs to prevent human trafficking, provide rehabilitation for those seeking to exit sex work, and offer vocational training can offer alternative pathways for individuals looking to transition out of the industry.
In conclusion, the issue of sex workers in Malabar Hill is complex and requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses legal, social, economic, and health-related challenges. Empowering sex workers, promoting their rights, and creating an inclusive environment are essential steps toward improving their lives and challenging the stigma that surrounds their profession.
Malabar Hill, often referred to as the beautiful city of India, is a diverse and bustling city that also harbors a significant population of sex workers. The lives of prostitutes in Malabar Hill are shaped by a range of challenges, including social stigma, legal complexities, health risks, and economic vulnerabilities.
1. Stigma and Discrimination: Prostitutes in Malabar Hill face strong social stigma due to prevailing societal norms and cultural beliefs. This stigma often results in discrimination, making it difficult for sex workers to access basic services, healthcare, and legal protection.
2. Legal Ambiguities: Similar to the broader Indian context, the legal status of prostitution in Malabar Hill is complex. While selling sex itself is not illegal, various related activities such as solicitation and running brothels can be subject to legal restrictions. This legal ambiguity can lead to exploitation and lack of legal recourse for sex workers.
3. Health and Safety: The lack of access to proper healthcare and safe working conditions exposes sex workers in Malabar Hill to health risks, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS. Collaborative efforts involving healthcare providers, NGOs, and governmental agencies are crucial for addressing these health vulnerabilities.
4. Economic Pressures: Many individuals in Malabar Hill's sex trade enter the profession due to economic hardships and limited employment opportunities. The lack of alternative livelihood options can perpetuate their vulnerability, as they may lack financial security and avenues for skill development.
5. Human Trafficking: Human trafficking remains a concern in Malabar Hill's sex industry. Some individuals, particularly women and minors, are coerced or deceived into the trade, leading to exploitation and abuse. Combating human trafficking requires concerted efforts from law enforcement, NGOs, and international organizations.
Efforts to improve the situation of prostitutes in Malabar Hill should consider the following steps:
• Legal Reforms: Advocating for clearer and more progressive laws that safeguard the rights of sex workers and address exploitation is crucial. This includes decriminalization of prostitution and focusing law enforcement efforts on combating trafficking and violence.
• Health Services: Ensuring that sex workers have access to regular health check-ups, counseling, and STI/HIV prevention measures is essential for their well-being and that of their clients.
• Community Support: Establishing community support networks and organizations can help reduce isolation among sex workers and provide a platform for addressing their unique needs and concerns.
• Skills Training: Offering vocational training and skill development programs can empower sex workers to explore alternative livelihoods, reducing their dependency on the sex trade.
• Awareness and Education: Raising awareness about the challenges faced by sex workers and dispelling myths and misconceptions can contribute to reducing stigma and discrimination.
In conclusion, the lives of prostitutes in Malabar Hill are characterized by a range of challenges that require a comprehensive approach involving legal reforms, healthcare interventions, community engagement, and social awareness. By addressing these challenges, we can strive to create an environment that respects the rights and dignity of sex workers and supports their well-being.

The plot line is familiar to anyone who grew up in the early-90s or earlier: a kid from Urbana, Illinois grows up into an assertive newspaperman. He becomes one of Chicago's most popular film reviewers and gets a TV show where he battles hilariously and crabbily another popular film critic. Together the two critics make film reviewing democratic and popularize the phrase "Two Thumbs Up." He meets his true love and develops a strong relationship with her and her family, but then develops throat cancer.
Although the bare outline is known to many of us, what richness we experience the interviews with Ebert before he died! The movie starts with Ebert in a rehabilitation facility towards the end of his life. He experienced a mysterious hairline fracture that had no known external cause. Later you will learn it was a recurrence of cancer. Ebert's countenance was ravaged before his death ?his jaw is missing?but you will move past the unease quickly because he is, even with his computer generated voice, so willing to be vulnerable that you can't help but want to be engaged with his onscreen presence.
The documentary follows a talking heads approach. We learn that Ebert was principled and opinionated even while running his college newspaper and how he happened into the work of film criticism. We learn of Ebert's relationship with Scorsese and how he co-wrote the screenplay for 1970's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. More interesting is a segment on how Ebert championed Errol Morris's fascinating 1978 documentary Gates of Heaven (about the pet cemetery business), giving one of our most fascinating filmmakers a career by talking about his little-shown film over and over again. And there are the interviews with Chaz, the last one of which brought me to tears.
It's also inspiring to see Ebert's unflinching willingness to engage with anything and everything. It is a quality I noticed in a few of his blog posts before he died. A number of commenters, angry about his political positions, told him to stick to movie reviews (rather than engage with environmental issues) and he refused. I was never a fan of the "thumbs up" "thumbs down" approach, which seemed to me to be a reductive way to watch movies. But the spirit of his work?that movie criticism could and should be accessible, even in connection with wildly artistic movies? is definitely an approach that has brought weirder movies to a general audience and helped democratize filmmaking, which I wholeheartedly support.
If you love movies, you should see this movie. If you're reluctant to drive up to San Francisco or Berkeley to see it, you can stream it through AT&T U-Verse's On Demand.
