Bryan House, Only Problem - 164
Bryan House's manager at single-A Peoria wasn't sure what he had in his second baseman in 1985, according to The Chicago Tribune.
As the season wore on, though, House began to show manager Pete Mackanin what he could do, ending the year with 76 RBI and 45 stolen bases.
"He's the catalyst for this team," Mackanin told The Tribune that August of House. "Now the only problem I have with Bryan is should I lead him off because he runs so well or do I hit him third or fifth because he drives in runs? So I compromise. I hit him second."
While House showed what he could do that year at Peoria, and he eventually showed enough to make AAA Iowa, House never could show enough to make the majors.
House's career began in 1984, taken by the Cubs in the ninth round, out of Illinois State.
At Illinois State, House made the All-Missouri Valley Conference Team in 1984. He also led his team that year in stolen bases, with 20, in Doubles, with 15, and runs, with 49.
With the Cubs, House started at rookie Pikeville, hitting .270 in 68 games, stealing 19. He then moved to Peoria in 1985, stealing those 45 bases and hitting .260.
In 1986, he moved to single-A Winston-Salem, then AA Pittsfield in 1987. He made the Eastern League All-Star Team in 1988 after returning to Pittsfield.
In August 1988, House got called up for the exhibition Hall of Fame game in Cooperstown, as the Cubs played the Indians. That winter, the Cubs sent him to play winter ball in the Caribbean.
House made AAA Iowa for the first time in 1989, hitting .250 and stealing 37 without getting a call to Chicago. In January 1990, the Cubs traded House to the Rangers for Rey Sanchez. House played 1990 at AAA Oklahoma City, hitting .277 and stealing 30. But he didn't make Texas and it was also his final year as a pro.

Morgan Stanley Chief Executive Officer James Gorman said there's almost no chance of another financial crisis like the one that endangered his firm five years ago.
"The probability of it happening again in our lifetime is as close to zero as I could imagine," Gorman said in an interview on the "Charlie Rose" show, citing steps by banks and regulators.
Morgan Stanley borrowed more than $100 billion from the Federal Reserve, received $10 billion in rescue funds from the U.S. government and sold a $9 billion stake to Japanese bank Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. to survive the 2008 credit crisis.
Since then, the New York-based firm has increased capital and liquidity and bought retail brokerage Smith Barney from Citigroup Inc. to rely more on a steady-fee business.
Similar steps taken by other large U.S. lenders to change their business offerings and improve their financial ratios have helped secure the health of the banking system, Gorman said. Banks also face increased scrutiny both from regulators and their own management and board of directors, he said.
While Gorman said Wall Street banks should've had stronger clawbacks of bonuses in the 2008 crisis, he doesn't agree with assertions that executives should have gone to prison for their roles in the collapse.
"There's a difference between incompetence or mismanagement or poor judgment or excessive risk taking from actually breaking the law," Gorman said.
Morgan Stanley Chief Executive Officer James Gorman said there's almost no chance of another financial crisis like the one that endangered his firm five years ago.


On April 25 2018, the annual general meeting adopted a convertible debenture program for key staff in ÅF. The subscription has now been completed and amounts to SEK 188 600 000 at a conversion price of SEK 224,60 per share.
Full conversion will increase the share capital by SEK 2 099 142,50 and the number of shares by 839 657. This corresponds to a dilution equivalent to approximately 1,05 percent of the capital and approximately 0,77 percent of the votes.
In accordance with the resolution of the general meeting, the dilution will be offset by a repurchase and cancellation of shares corresponding to the subscribed amount. These measures shall be completed before the annual shareholders meeting 2019.

BC Liberals' rule change protects staffers who destroy records
Posted in: Accountability, John Horgan
VICTORIA – Two days before last week's disclosure about deleted FOI emails on the Highway of Tears, the BC Liberals changed the rules to protect staff who destroy documents.
"It is very disturbing that minister's staff deleted information requested about missing women in British Columbia," said New Democrat leader John Horgan. "It strikes to the core of this government's integrity. Knowing that there are no criminal penalties for these actions is even more troubling."
Two days before the NDP revealed allegations by former executive assistant Tim Duncan that he had been directed to illegally destroy documents, the BC Liberals passed the new Information Management Act. Section 18 changes the law so that staff who improperly destroy documents will not face charges under the Offence Act.
"There are families in British Columbia looking for answers about their missing loved ones, and they want to know what action their government has taken," said local lawyer and Carrier Sekani Tribal Council Women's Advocate Mavis Erickson. "Where is the respect for people? If this was taken seriously, then breaking the rules would come with serious penalties."
"A government that removes penalties for hiding information is not trying to be open," said New Democrat FOI Spokesperson Doug Routley. "I spoke against this section in the legislature and tried to amend it. But the BC Liberals were apparently determined to take the teeth out of this law."
"Government's work should not be secret," said NDP democratic reform spokesperson Gary Holman. "As part of our democratic reform legislation, public servants would have a duty to document their actions and decisions. It would also protect whistleblowers like Tim Duncan from the wrath of an embarrassed government."


Edwin Booth doesn't appear very keen on the word "supermarket" – which seems a bit odd considering his family owns one. Booths, for the benefit of southern readers, is a small chain in the north-west (head office: Preston) that began in 1847 when another Edwin Booth started a small shop in Blackpool, and now has 28 stores ranged from Penrith to Ripon to Knutsford.
This place out-Waitroses Waitrose with its fiercely loyal customers, glorious cheese counter, market-garden-like fruit and vegetable displays and a Slow Food-linked Forgotten Foods initiative to showcase the likes of Grimsby smoked haddock, Cumberland Rum Nicky and Lyth Valley damsons. This helps explain why the current Edwin, who now runs it, or Mr Edwin as they called him when he started work on the warehouse floor straight out of school, says he prefers the old-fashioned term "grocer".
The wine section fits into that good grocer's ethos. It is rooted in the everyday rather than the fancy-schmancy – almost all the 800 or so wines are under a tenner. And alongside the big brands and tick-box names you find wines that are off the beaten track without being weird; that offer an un-boring glass to those on a careful household budget: here a cannonau from Sardinia, there a German pinot gris.
There's also a quite extraordinary selection of bottled ales – 300 in all, with each store's range tailored to the locale. So in Windermere, for example, you'll find Thwaites Wainwright bitter and beers from the Barngates Brewery near Ambleside.
Buying the wine was Edwin Booth's responsibility for 15 years. "I began to show an uncommon interest in wine tasting," as he puts it.
Booth is easy and unassuming, and when on our walk he stops at a gate to chat to two old boys from Barrow-in-Furness who have stopped to admire the view, his vowels flatten gently to fall in line with theirs and there's a friendly chat about blokes they both remember from their days working in the same warehouse. But he also likes cars and fine wine, does a very good Prince Charles impersonation that comes from having met him (several times) and recently popped up on a newspaper rich list in 903rd position, with Booths having an estimated value of £81 million.
What I like is the degree of effort and honesty that goes into the wine, beer and spirits aisle. "Yes, we are commercial," says Booth. "If we're giving a product prominence in the store, we'll ask the producer to pay a small premium, as anyone else would, you pay for the pitch." But Booth's is highly unusual in that a "Buyer's Choice" ticket next to a bottle denotes just that: that the buyer felt like highlighting the wine, not that it's been paid for by the producer as part of a rigid promotional timetable.
The "We Love" section, where store workers choose bottles and write tasting notes for them, works in the same way. I can't promise they're not putting slow-moving stock in there to get rid of it, but those slots are not part of a transaction. How many other supermarkets can say that?
Now that Booth has moved on to running the whole show, the wine and spirits are bought by smiley Andy Green, who's been in the job nearly a year and replaces Sally Holloway, who had built up an impressive range that he'll have to work hard to maintain. Three to try? Domaine Pellehaut Harmonie Blanc 2010 (£5.75), a white blend of ugni blanc, colombard, gros and petit manseng, sauvignon blanc and chardonnay. The floral, but clean and satisfying, Adobe Organic Gewürztraminer 2011 Cachapoal, Chile (£7.60). And Bodegas Sierra Norte Pasion de Bobal 2010 Spain (£9.99), a red made from old vine bobal. All worthy of a good local grocer.
Loire reds carry a gentle sense of damp, leafy woodland vying with the bright berry scents you find in a summer pudding. It's the cabernet franc that does that. This one, new to M & S, is a superb example; good enough to send a frisson of pleasure down your back as you sniff it. Drink it slightly chilled (rather than frozen to death) and thank your lucky stars for the lovely 2010s.
Made for Tesco by Baron de Ley, whose style of rioja I would describe as modern and patrician. It's made entirely from tempranillo and aged in American oak, which gives it a lick of vanilla. Good value when it's on promo and if you're barbecuing under an umbrella this summer, you might want to open some to keep you cosy as you blacken a leg of lamb.
Not exactly a popular choice, either Alsace or pinot blanc, but a mistake to ignore this. Pinot blanc is like the thinking person's pinot grigio. This has a curving texture with immaculately clean edges. In paint-chart terms, you'd be looking at the expensive shades of white. In flavour terms, no oak, subtle apricot kernel, orange, apples and pears, but barely there. Elegant.

Q: Google Cloud Platform Blocking Network Data from Digitalocean I have a DigitalOcean droplet from which I am hosting a number of WordPress sites for clients.
One of my clients is attempting to use a premium plugin which is trying to make a call to their server hosted on GCP to authenticate their plugin license.
I've contacted DigitalOcean support and they found that from DO network - we do see the packets are fully leaving our network but being blocked on the end point (GCP).
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks.

vCloud Director v5.1 is now included in the AutoLab.
You can download from the usual page in all the usual formats and as always I've tried to resolve the top issues I see on the forums.
One other new thing is that the deployment guide is now available as an eBook, already available on Amazon and it should also turn up on other major eBook marketplaces over the next few days, simply search for "vSphere 5 AutoLab 1.1a Deployment Guide". Amazon wouldn't let me publish the guide for free, so it will cost you 99 US cents. The deployment guide is also available as a PDF from the download page at no cost.
In the near future I will be publishing some actual Lab Guides! The first ones will be for people who have attended the vSphere 5 Install Configure Manage courses and want to use the AutoLab to repeat the course labs. I also plan on some guidance on labs to help you prep for VCP5 and VCAP5-DCA exams, although those are a little further away.
It has taken a while to bring together but it's finally out. The fourth release of the AutoLab in 2012 is available for download from the AutoLab page.
Building on the features of AutoLab 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0 this release adds the new vSphere release as well as a lot of improvements driven by issues people have been reporting on the forums.
Better validation of ESXi 5.0 vs ESXi 5.0U1 at build time.
I've had an amazing year with AutoLab and vBrownBag, looking forward to a great 2013.
One of the many cool things that is going on in the community area of VMworld next week is Randy Keener's Unsupported sessions. These are a forum to advance the community's knowledge of how do do things that VMware never thought you'd want to do with their products.
The TechTalks are brief sessions of community generated wisdom and excitement, they will be live streamed and available recorded at http://www.vmworld.com/community/videos It's not too late to get your session in, but you will need to email or tweet to one of the vBrownBag team as the signup form has closed.
I'm taking part in the Tuesday session where we will spend the whole two hours looking at AutoLab and nested ESXi. If you want to get started on AutoLab or if you've gotten started but then got stuck this is your chance. Bring your laptop and do some lab time in the community lounge.
The VMware Workstation and Fusion product teams will be joining us for the sessions and there is a rumour that they will be giving away product!
We will be doing demos and building real labs, it should be a lot of fun. One thing we might try to do is a Microsoft free nested ESXi lab. How much can we do without the Windows vSphere client?
To be clear this is not access to the VMworld Hand on Labs, it is your own lab that you build on your own laptop.
Posted in Uncategorized on August 22, 2012 by Alastair Cooke.
The AutoLab is a small package with big potential. What it contains, is a number of "shell" VMs that can be run up in VMware Workstation, Fusion or ESXi. When fed with the operating systems ISOs from VMware and Microsoft, it automatically provisions a powerful test environment with almost no effort required.
Only needing a modest machine to run, the AutoLab provides a modular approach to testing where only the needed components are installed. The core lab can run on a single PC, a dual core 64bit CPU and a minimum of 8GB RAM, along with around 100GB of free disk space.
Veeam have generously sponsored this release, and we highly recommend using the AutoLab to test and evaluate their Veeam ONE and Veeam Backup & Replication products. LabGuides plan on having some study / training material that can be used alongside the AutoLab for learning purposes also.
If you have been following along with the AutoLab since v0.5 there's a couple of big enhancements with this release, most notably support for VMware vCloud Director and VMware View.
Support for the AutoLab is now handled in our LabGuides.com/forums. Thanks very much to our team of volunteer moderators that will help you get unstuck should you get caught in a bind.
You're still reading? Head on over to grab AutoLab 1.0 now!
Posted in AutoLab on August 6, 2012 by Alastair Cooke.
It's been a busy month in the AutoLab lab. At the start of May we released the first public build, version 0.5 of the vSphere AutoLab. Over the month between we've had around 1,500 downloads of the v0.5 build and some great feedback that the tool is helpful. Now at the end we have released version 0.8. Keep the feedback coming, if you have suggestions or issues email to feedback@labgiudes.com If AutoLab is simply a tool you use and like tweet about it with the hashtag #AutoLab, we love to hear that you are using the AutoLab.
vSphere 5.0 Update 1 is the only "Update" release of vSphere that will be supported. When vSphere 5.x is released it will be supported but vSphere 5.0 Update 2 will not be supported. Building in ESXi 5.0 Update 1 support was painful as the PXE boot files have different names. Since Update releases don't bring new features they don't add value to the AutoLab.
Most of the other changes were about making the automation prettier and more reliable, as well as making lab setup simpler. Adding the Automate.ini file has been great as I rebuild labs about five to ten times a week so shaving off interaction time has been useful.
Finally a note about re-distribution. Everything in the AutoLab is freely redistributable and you are welcome to build on top of the platform to solve other training and enablement problems, provided you attribute the work that has enabled your work. If you are able to freely redistribute the result and it might be useful to others then please do let us know and we can publicise your project, possibly event host it for distribution. If you use the AutoLab to create something that can't be redistributed that's cool too, please let us know what you've done with it so we feel appreciated. In the unlikely event that you find a way to make money by selling something built on top of our work then please contact us to discuss, unauthorised commercial sale of our work isn't cool.
Right, now head to the AutoLab home page and get downloading, have fun.

Last June, that space was reborn as Tea Bar by EvyTea, part retail cafe, part R&D lab. "The brick and mortar has given me a very different stage compared to the bottle form. With health codes and all the regulations, it takes a really long time for R&D before anything can come to market," Chen explains. "But a retail setting is much more flexible, and it allows us to create really funky combinations." Like, say, sparkling white tea mojitos featuring seasonal fruit—strawberry and rhubarb in June, blueberry and watermelon in July—and a just-launched lineup of bubble teas. The tea bar also offers a rainbow of on-tap cold-brew varieties, hot tea, tea flights, and coffee and tea lattes in flavors like matcha turmeric, along with loose-leaf bulk tea and the bottles that started it all. They're served and sold in a funky space with mismatched furniture and an herb garden-lined patio, a photogenic nook that served as the location for a romantic movie scene filmed this fall.
The tea bar is less than a year old, but Chen is already expanding, opening a second brick-and-mortar location in Charlestown in June and debuting a mobile tea bar in a 1976 Airstream Argosy trailer in May. And she's coming for your coffee break: The company just launched EvyTea on Tap, a keg program for offices in New England, New York and New Jersey. It's all part of Chen's mission to change the way people drink—and think about—tea. "We're not a traditional tea company," she says. "And iced tea is a mature market. That particular sugary drink lifestyle isn't what a lot of people are after anymore." She hopes cold-brew tea can achieve the kind of growth cold-brew coffee has seen in recent years—and that Boston can become a hub for more companies like hers. "When people think of Boston, they might think health care or biotech. There weren't a lot of consumer innovations happening," Chen says. "But Mayor Marty Walsh has definitely been pushing for that innovation, and that consumer wave is coming. More and more experts in the consumer goods industry are going to look to Boston when they're looking at what's new and what's hot." Or what's cold, as the case may be.

Q: Bash stdout character limit How can you limit the count of standard output characters that is redirected to file?

A: Other ways (external)
echo $out| head -c 20
echo $out | awk '{print substr($0,1,20) }'
echo $out | ruby -e 'print $_[0,19]'
echo $out | sed -r 's/(^.{20})(.*)/\1/'

A: You could use Command Substitution to wrap the output pre-redirection, then use the offset Parameter Expansion to limit the number of characters like so:
#!/bin/bash

limit=20

out=$(echo "this line has more than twenty characters in it")
echo ${out::limit} > /path/to/file

Proof of Concept
$ limit=20
$ out=$(echo "this line has more than twenty characters in it").
$ echo ${out::limit}
this line has more t

A: You can't do so directly into a file, but you can pipe through sed or head, etc. to pass on only part of the output.  Or as @SiegeX says, capture the output in the shell (but I would be wary of that if the output mis likely to be large).

From the New York Times comes this story about Fruta Feia, or Ugly Fruit, a cooperative in Lisbon that has found opportunity through a combination of economic pressure and reframing conventional norms for food appearance.
There is a market for fruits and vegetables deemed too ugly by government bureaucrats, supermarkets and other retailers to sell to their customers. A third of Portugal's farming produce goes to waste because of the quality standards set by supermarkets and their consumers. Fruta Feia buys the unwanted food at about half the price at which producers sell it to supermarkets. It has quietly subverted fixed notions of what is beautiful, or at least edible.

More news about technology eating its predecessors:
Moviefone is shutting down its phone-in ticketing business to focus on its app, according to Jeff Berman, president of BermanBraun, which runs the declining movie ticket service. "The call-in service has been in pretty steady decline… Our customers are much more interested in our award-winning app, and we need to invest our resources in the future, part of which involves a major reimagining of Moviefone." This weekend, callers were informed that the service would soon go silent. Once a dominant force in the world of movie ticketing and listings, the service is best known for the voice of "Mr. Moviefone," provided by founder Russ Leatherman, that greeted callers.
It's part of the human condition to see things go by the wayside. In many cases what is lost is replaced by something that is better. A dial-in voice-based movie-listing service is hardly the best solution available to us, and the usage numbers for Moviefone show that. So it's disappearance makes sense in terms of utility (and business). But with many of these disappearances, what we might mourn is the cultural loss (yes, Moviefone was an element on Seinfeld), recalling the affection we have for the familiarity, even considering it as tradition. Sometimes this collective sense of loss is enough to produce an outpouring that convinces a company that there's a good-will business case around preservation. While I don't expect that here, these occurrences are common and are interesting to look it through the lenses of function, business and meaning.

You Can't Innovate If You Ignore Your Real Problems [FastCoDesign.com] – I wish more thought leaders in our fields would be as honest as Sohrab is here. It's a nod-your-head-with-pained-recognition piece that acknowledges the limits of the aspirations that drive so many of these programs.
After a week of intense exploration and discussion, the executives thanked us heartily. They then went back to doing business precisely as they had before. This outcome is depressingly common, not just for Ziba but for any organization that seeks to build innovation capacity in businesses. The clients in this example are masters of efficient production, making incremental improvements to their product line every year as they steadily lose market share. But they expected a seminar to give them the sudden capability to innovate, without changing any other part of their business practice. It doesn't work like that. An innovation consultancy cannot turn you into an innovative company.
Heello is Twitter for Pretending [Waxy] – Andy brilliantly reframes fakery as he inventories the startling range of misbehaving accounts flying the flag of established businesses, brands, or web personalities.
It's easy to write off Heello as a Twitter clone. Created by the founder of Twitpic, the shameless knockoff looks and behaves like a stripped-down version of Twitter. But it's shaping up to be more than that. Creative fakesters are using the blank slate to turn Heello into the parallel-universe version of Twitter. Heello is like a blank-slate Twitter with no moderation or verification. I doubt the Heello team wanted or expected this behavior, but they inadvertently created a perfect playground for parody and meta-commentary

[from wstarosta] How to beat Apple [Kottke] – [Apple's fu is strong. But Kottke has some thoughts on how to beat Apple. I would add to his list: Design integrity. Apple didn't invent it, but for some reason their competitors have allowed them to own it.] In the near term, companies making iPhone and iPad competitors are never going to beat Apple at their own game. Apple has supply chain advantages, a massive number of their customers' credit card numbers (why do you think Jobs brings this up at every single Apple event…it's important!), key patents, one-in-lifetime personnel like Steve Jobs and Jony Ive, solid relationships with key media companies, and an integrated ecosystem of stores, apps, applications, and hardware. They are an imposing competitor.

[from steve_portigal] A big admission ahead of bigger mission for Batman [AP] – [While the reporting here is primarily about Bruce Wayne revealing his secret identity as Batman, more interesting is the fictional franchising/crowdsourcing approach. The creators of the Batman product are talking about the brand within the story of Batman, but in fact by incorporating real-life businesses themes, they are refreshing the actual Batman brand within our world. Layered!] The confession..is part of a detailed effort that puts into motion a plan for Batman Incorporated, a global network of Batmen from China to Argentina to fight crime worldwide…In doing so, Wayne is free to take his crime fighting international by building what Morrison calls a "global, international army of Batmen. Batman in China, Batman in Japan, Batman in Russia. Expanding the Batman brand to areas where he really hasn't been before."

[from steve_portigal] Multimedia E-Books, Adorned With Video Extras [NYTimes.com] – [The language we use to describe an emerging technology or form of communication is in flux as its meaning, marketing, and perceived usefulness is in flux] In the spring Hachette Book Group called its version, by David Baldacci, an "enriched" book. Penguin Group released an "amplified" version of a novel by Ken Follett last week. And on Thursday Simon & Schuster will come out with one of its own, an "enhanced" e-book version of "Nixonland" by Rick Perlstein. All of them go beyond the simple black-and-white e-book that digitally mirrors its ink-and-paper predecessor. The new multimedia books use video that is integrated with text, and they are best read — and watched — on an iPad, the tablet device that has created vast possibilities for book publishers.

[from steve_portigal] Does Language Influence Culture? [WSJ.com] – [Stanford psychology prof Lera Boroditsky examines how it does, and why it does] Just because people talk differently doesn't necessarily mean they think differently. In the past decade, cognitive scientists have begun to measure not just how people talk, but also how they think, asking whether our understanding of even such fundamental domains of experience as space, time and causality could be constructed by language…All this new research shows us that the languages we speak not only reflect or express our thoughts, but also shape the very thoughts we wish to express. The structures that exist in our languages profoundly shape how we construct reality, and help make us as smart and sophisticated as we are…As we uncover how languages and their speakers differ from one another, we discover that human natures too can differ dramatically, depending on the languages we speak.

[from steve_portigal] Facebook Is to the Power Company as … [NYTimes.com] – [The gap between being a customer and being a happy customer. Will Facebook be like Microsoft in a few decades, *still* whining about not being beloved – let alone actively disliked?] It was a typically vexing week for Facebook. On the one hand, the social-networking service signed up its 500 millionth active user. On the other hand, it was found to be one of the least popular private-sector companies in the United States by the American Customer Satisfaction Index. Apparently, Americans were more satisfied filing their taxes online than they were posting updates on their Facebook page. It is a continuing contradiction: Facebook is widely criticized for shifting its terms of service and for disclosing private information — and yet millions of people start accounts each month.
[from steve_portigal] Digital Domain – Even With All Its Profits, Microsoft Has a Popularity Problem [NYTimes.com] – [We want your money and your love!] Microsoft's enterprise software business alone is approaching the size of Oracle. But despite that astounding growth, Microsoft must accept that, fair or not, victories on the enterprise side draw about as much attention as being the No. 1 wholesale seller of plumbing supplies. Microsoft won't receive the adoring attention that its chief rival draws with products like the iPad. In a conversation earlier this month, Mr. Shaw explained what prompted him to write his post. "I noticed some pretty critical conversations going on in the technosphere among the technorati," he said. "There's a gap between that conversation  'the company is not doing well, period'  and what the company is actually doing." In the blog, he writes, "With Windows 7, Office 2010, Bing, Xbox 360, Kinect, Windows Phone 7, in our cloud platform, and many other products, services and happy customers, 2010 is shaping up as a huge year for us."

[from steve_portigal] Scion presents Ed Emberley & Friends – [We had these books around the house as kids and they gave me a sense of UI design meets art before I knew anything about either topic. Nice to see the work has resonance so many years later] Ed Emberley's legendary drawing books inspired a generation of kids to become artists. In this show, Ed Emberley displays his original 1970's mockups alongside five grown-up artists who were influenced by him. Curated by Caleb Neelon, the artists include Raul Gonzalez, Seonna Hong, Matt Leines, Christopher Kline and Saelee Oh. For "Ed Emberley & Friends," each artist will create a six-foot-by-six-foot wood panel that is a mash-up of their own style and that of Ed Emberley's instructional drawing books. The tribute paintings will be exhibited alongside examples of each artist's individual work. After the show, each of the large painted panels will be donated for long-term display in children's hospitals around the United States.
[from steve_portigal] wanted: cultural change agencies [Influxinsights] – [Ed Cotton is perceptive as usual. My quibble – there's an opportunity for this type of agency but I don't know there's a market for it. Isn't selling services that don't look like other types of services you've bought before is its own challenge. Meanwhile most consultants I talk to, from insights, to brand, to interactive, to improv training, are all selling "culture change" as a second order effect. IDEO has productized it, of course. So maybe we're already selling this, just not in the way Ed sees it could happen] There's a market for a new type of agency- a cultural change agency. It's a new type of company that helps you work out who you are and doesn't walk away, it stays with you; it helps, it motivates, it inspires and it brings the moving parts of the organization together. Think of this new entity as a entirely new type of agency; one that inspires companies to change and get the best out of themselves by working from the inside out.

Culture eating strategy for breakfast at a recent custom car show…
Every company wants consumer loyalty, but not every organization knows what to do with it. The kind of fandom that expresses itself as a brand militia, while a tremendous asset, is not a force easily controlled from the top.
In a New York Times article on Chevrolet's recent attempt to wrangle their identity back from the people by mandating GM staff to say "Chevrolet" rather than "Chevy," Corvette racer Dick Guldstrand explains:
Once it became an American icon, America took it away from G.M. They made it a Chevy. You're doing a disservice to all the people by telling them not to call it a Chevy.
Whether you're talking about consumers or the members of an organization itself, a strategy based on top-down control leaves little room for passionate engagement. Cisco CEO John Chambers is remaking that organization's entire structure around the perspective that
Leadership is not really about delegating tasks and monitoring results; it is about imbuing the entire workforce with a sense of responsibility for the business.
Ongoing engagement – through shared responsibility and shared identity – builds loyalty. And this process can only happen if an organization or brand leaves room for people's agency, so they can create a sense of ownership and meaning for themselves.

[from steve_portigal] Rent a White Guy [The Atlantic] – And so I became a fake businessman in China, an often lucrative gig for underworked expatriates here. One friend, an American who works in film, was paid to represent a Canadian company and give a speech espousing a low-carbon future. Another was flown to Shanghai to act as a seasonal-gifts buyer. Recruiting fake businessmen is one way to create the image—particularly, the image of connection—that Chinese companies crave. My Chinese-language tutor, at first aghast about how much we were getting paid, put it this way: "Having foreigners in nice suits gives the company face." We were supposedly representing a California-based company that was building a facility in Dongying. Our responsibilities would include making daily trips to the construction site, attending a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and hobnobbing. During the ceremony, one of us would have to give a speech as the company's director. That duty fell to my friend Ernie. His business cards had already been made. (via @Kottke)

[from steve_portigal] For Forgetful, Cash Helps the Medicine Go Down [NYTimes.com] – [The challenge of marketing, design & other forms of corporate persuasion is revealed when you see that people need incentive/motivation to take medication] One-third to one-half of all patients do not take medication as prescribed, and up to one-quarter never fill prescriptions at all, experts say. Such lapses fuel more than $100 billion dollars in health costs annually because those patients often get sicker. Now, a controversial, and seemingly counterintuitive, effort to tackle the problem is gaining ground: paying people money to take medicine or to comply with prescribed treatment. The idea, which is being embraced by doctors, pharmacy companies, insurers and researchers, is that paying modest financial incentives up front can save much larger costs of hospitalization…Although "economically irrational," Dr. Corrigan said, small sums might work better than bigger ones because otherwise patients might think, " 'I'm only doing this for the money,' and it would undermine treatment."
[from steve_portigal] Creativity thrives in Pixar's animated workplace [SF Chronicle] – At another company, the employee in Payne's position might be a feared corporate rules-enforcer – the guy who tells you not to put tack holes in the plaster or forbids you from painting over the white walls next to your cubicle. But the architect and 14-year Pixar veteran embraces the madness. Among the more creative additions on the campus: One animator built a bookcase with a secret panel – which opens up into a speakeasy-style sitting area with a card table, bar and security monitor. Other employees work in modified Tuff Sheds, tricked out to look like little houses with front porches and chandeliers. "Sometimes I just have to let go," Payne says with an amused sigh, as he walks into a newer building with a high ceiling – where someone has interrupted the clean sightlines with a wooden loft. A couch and a mini-refrigerator are balanced 10 feet above the floor. [Did a mini-ethnography of Pixar a few years ago and the cultural factors around creativity and community were outstanding]

IndieReader – For Self-Published Books and the Readers Who Love Them – IndieReader is a venue for you to find and purchase books published and produced by the people who wrote them. Think of these books like handmade goods, produced in small numbers, instead of the mass-marketed stuff you'd find at a super store. And every book on the IndieReader site is reviewed prior to acceptance, guaranteeing that you'll find the "cream-of-the-indie crop". Why is this so important? Because today more than ever, almost everything we produce gets co-opted by corporate culture, turned into a business model, reformulated and churned out like soap with the simple intent to appeal to as many people as possible. In a world where almost everything is packaged by committee, IndieReader offers you books with a single voice: the writer's own.
The Expanding Definition of Craft Beer [NYTimes.com] – In a world where Nabisco sells "artisan" Wheat Thins, the designation of Samuel Adams as a craft beer seems perfectly fair. But the Boston Beer Company, the brewery that was founded in 1984 and makes Sam Adams, is on the verge of outgrowing its coveted craft status — at least according to the Brewers Association, a national trade group that defines craft brewers in part as producing fewer than two million barrels a year. The federal government defines small brewers similarly, imposing a lower excise tax on those that stay under the two-million-barrel threshold. Mr. Koch predicted that Boston Beer would surpass the two-million mark by 2012. But help may be on the way: John Kerry introduced a bill last month that would increase the yearly production limit for small brewers to six million barrels.
Icing, a meme drinking game with Smirnoff Ice [NYTimes.com] – The premise of the game is simple: hand a friend a sugary Smirnoff Ice malt beverage and he has to drink it on one knee, all at once — unless he is carrying a bottle himself, in which case the attacker must drink both bottles. Amid suspicion that the trend is an elaborate viral marketing campaign by Smirnoff, which the company has denied, new icing photos are posted daily on various blogs, Twitter and Facebook — including scenes from graduations and weddings — and sent directly to a Web site, BrosIcingBros.com. The game has exposed the mercurial line between guerrilla advertising and genuine social media trends, raising questions about how young consumers can know when they have co-opted a brand for their own purposes, and when that brand has co-opted them.
Rethink the Book project from Berlin University of the Art – In cooperation with the schoolbook publisher Cornelsen Verlag a student group of the "New Media Studio Class" experimented with the digital possibilities to think anew the book as media. They linked the book by visual codes with methods of "Augmented Reality". They embeded sensor technology for new forms of interaction and used new methods of production engineering like "laser cutting" to model the book as an object or to publish personalized schoolbooks. In the exhibition they show several prototypes like electronic origami paper or an interactive periodic table.

Geek Power: Steven Levy Revisits Tech Titans, Hackers, Idealists [Wired] – The real problem, Greenblatt says, is that business interests have intruded on a culture that was founded on the ideals of openness and creativity. In Greenblatt's heyday, he and his friends shared code freely, devoting themselves purely to the goal of building better products. "There's a dynamic now that says, let's format our Web page so people have to push the button a lot so that they'll see lots of ads," Greenblatt says. "Basically, the people who win are those who manage to make things the most inconvenient for you." [Strongly worded insight about the state of Internet business rings tragically true /SP]
Organizing Armageddon: What We Learned From the Haiti Earthquake [Wired] – One of the biggest ideas to hit the humanitarian community in the past decade is the notion of surveying the recipients of aid to see what they think. That's very commercial  treating them more like clients than victims…After the Asian tsunami, the Fritz Institute conducted one of the first-ever surveys of aid recipients. Only 60 percent of families surveyed in India and Sri Lanka said they had received timely aid and were treated with dignity in the 60 days after the tidal wave hit. Almost everyone reported getting water within the first couple of days, but just 58 percent of Sri Lankans reported receiving shelter in a timely manner. In general, post-disaster studies tend to measure "throughput indicators" like how much food was distributed, or how much shelter got provided, instead of "output or outcome metrics" like lives saved or suffering alleviated.

The iPad, the Kindle, and the future of books [The New Yorker] – Traditionally, publishers have sold books to stores, with the wholesale price for hardcovers set at fifty per cent of the cover price. Authors are paid royalties at a rate of about fifteen per cent of the cover price….E-books called the whole system into question. If there was no physical book, what would determine the price? Most publishers agreed, with some uncertainty, to give authors a royalty of twenty-five per cent, and began a long series of negotiations with Amazon over pricing. For months before Sargent's visit, the publishers had talked about imposing an "agency model" for e-books. Under such a model, the publisher would be considered the seller, and an online vender like Amazon would act as an "agent," in exchange for a thirty-per-cent fee. Yet none of the publishers seemed to think that they could act alone, and if they presented a unified demand to Amazon they risked being charged with price-fixing and collusion.
The End Is Near for BlackBerry's Trackball [BusinessWeek] – The BlackBerry trackball, introduced in 2006, has always had issues. It accumulates grit and gunk. Tony Naftchi started Fixyourberry.com from a small office on New York's 7th Ave. A stream of bankers, fashion models, and other high-end BlackBerry addicts pay $30 for new trackballs. "They need them fixed—'Now!' It should come as no surprise that the little sphere, flawed and strangely beloved, faces obsolescence. Trackball shipments in 2010 will fall short of last year's peak of 25 million. The last trackballs installed in new BlackBerrys will go in its Tour. Later versions have trackpads. By 2013, iSuppli predicts trackball shipments will have ceased altogether. Diehards will cling to trackballs. Nothing worth having ever goes away entirely. You can still buy a new manual typewriter on Amazon.com (AMZN) for $99.95. Betamax has its determined fans. And Westfield Whip Manufacturing in Westfield, Mass., produces more than 50,000 buggy whips annually. It's hard to kill a consumer icon.

Inc. Magazine Staffers Works Remotely To Make April Issue – [NYTimes.com] – Away from the office, some staff members struggled to adjust, as minor technical hiccups arose and parents working at home had to find ways to separate their work from their children. But in the end, most employees discovered that they could and should work out of the office more often — though they did not want to eliminate the office entirely. Mr. Chafkin found himself working more hours than usual in February and pining for the company of his colleagues. "I was way more productive, but way less happy," he said. "I think one of the reasons people get into magazines is that it's collaborative." The collaboration that did happen needed to be arranged in advance, like setting a time for a conference call, rather than relying on an encounter in a hallway or chatting at a desk. Only once during the month did the entire staff gather, at Ms. Berentson's home on the Upper West Side. When everyone got together, she said, it was "exactly like seeing old friends."
OgilvyOne Uses Contest to Promote Salesmanship [NYTimes.com] – A contest from OgilvyOne asks participants to market a brick so their sales techniques can be judged.

Segmenting the Hendrix fan [NYTimes.com] – "We believe that there is a Jimi Hendrix fan out there at 99 cents and at $9 and at $20 — all the way across the spectrum," Mr. Block said. "We want to make each fan an appropriate offering. Is the complete Jimi Hendrix on vinyl something every music fan would want? Absolutely not. Would there be a market for it? Absolutely."
Jerry Seinfeld on ideas [NYTimes.com] – Whatever happens to "The Marriage Ref," Mr. Seinfeld said that he was out of ideas now. "Ideas are a terrible obligation," he said. "Who needs something else to take care of? I have kids. I'd rather nurture them than another idea."
The Disposable Film Festival – In recent years a new kind of film has emerged: The Disposable Film. It has been made possible by new media (webcams, point and shoot digital cameras, cell phones, screen capture software, and one time use digital video cameras) and the rise of online distribution (YouTube, Google, MySpace, etc.). These films are often made quickly, casually, and sometimes even unintentionally. Everyone has become a Disposable Filmmaker: directors of Saturday night cell phone videos, actors under the eyes of security cameras, and narrators before their webcams. Let's face it – we live in an age of disposable film. Now it's time to do something creative with it.
How to Kill Innovation: Keep Asking Questions – Scott Anthony [Harvard Business Review] – Resource-rich companies have the "luxury" of researching and researching problems. That can be a huge benefit in known markets where precision matters. But it can be a huge deficit in unknown markets where precision is impossible and attempts to create it through analysis are quixotic. Entrepreneurs don't have the luxury of asking "What about…" questions, and in disruptive circumstances that works in their favor.
So what's the alternative? Substitute early action for never-ending analysis. Figure out the quickest, cheapest way to do something market-facing to start the iterative process that so frequently typifies innovation. Be prepared to make quick decisions, but have the driver of the decision be in-market data, not conceptual analysis. In other words, go small and learn. Pitch (or even sell) your idea to colleagues. Open up a kiosk in a shopping mall for a week. Create a quick-and-dirty website describing your idea. Be prepared to make quick decisions.

Q: A particular problem with btree insertion I have been playing with the very cool btree applet at slady.net. I'm having trouble understanding a particular behavior. Take a look at this starting state:
alt text http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/db2931c7da.jpg
This particular state was arrived at by inserting the following sequence: 10, 15, 30, 16, 70, 1, 9, 27, 45, 50, 55.
My question is regarding what happens to the [45,  ] node when I insert the next value in the sequence, 65.
alt text http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/3b70c1d302.jpg
The [55,70] node will be split by the 65, and being the middle value, the 65 will travel back up and then split the [30,50] node as well. My question is: Why does the [45,  ] node end up a child of the [30,  ] node? It's parent originally had 3 children, the left most and the right most became new seperate nodes. The 45 was between those values and it seems like it could have ended up under the [65,  ] node just as well... Why?

A: A picture is worth a thousand words; an animation is worth a million:
http://constellationmedia.com/~funsite/static/btree-insert-animation.gif
The key thing to notice here is that when the center node 50 is pulled up, it has to throw away its right child because it's too far down.  However, 65 needs a new left child, so 50 hands 45 over to 65.  50 now needs a new right child, and the node containing 65 needs to be childed, so it takes the newly formed 65 in its place.
Here are illustrated B-tree insertion rules (where maximum node size is 4 items, 5 child nodes):
http://constellationmedia.com/~funsite/static/btree-insertion-rules.png
The xr won't exist and won't matter if you're inserting into a leaf (which you do first).  However, if you have to split a node in half, the new x is the center item you pulled out, and the new xr is the right child of x.

A: It makes no sense for the 45 node to be a child of the 65 node in the second diagram as the rightmost branch is for values > 50 (based on the root node's right-most value) - so 45 has to go into the middle branch somewhere.

A: Each node always has n+1 children, where n is the number of keys in that node.
Before splitting, the [30, 50] node has two keys and three children, as expected. When you split that, you end up with a [30, -] node and a [65, -] node (and push the 50 up a level).
At the next level down, you have the (previously existing) [16, 27] and [45, -], and the newly-split [55, -] and [70, -] nodes.
You have two parent nodes and four children. Each parent must have two children because it has a single key. Therefore, given the ordering rules, [45, -] must be a child of [30, -] because otherwise (1) [30, -] wouldn't have enough children, and (2) [65, -] would have too many children. [EDIT - not illegally too many for a node, but the split is supposed to be balanced].
Will A is also correct. This is a consequence of choosing to push up the 50 key when splitting the middle-layer node, but this wasn't really a choice.

Święty Franciszek Borgiasz nad ciałem cesarzowej Izabeli lub Nawrócenie świętego Franciszka Borgii (hiszp. San Francisco de Borja ante el cadáver de la emperatriz Isabel lub La conversión de San Francisco de Borja) – obraz olejny hiszpańskiego malarza Mariana Salvadora Maelli znajdujący się w Katedrze w Walencji.

Okoliczności powstania
W latach 1787–1788 María Josefa Pimentel y Téllez-Girón, księżna Osuny zainicjowała renowację znajdującej się pod patronatem jej rodziny kaplicy św. Franciszka Borgiasza w Katedrze w Walencji. Święty, który za życia był księciem Gandía i markizem de Lombay, był przodkiem księżnej Osuny. Do kaplicy zamówiono trzy nowe płótna, których tematem były sceny z życia świętego. Mariano Salvador Maella wykonał główny obraz Nawrócenie świętego Franciszka Borgiasza. Francisco Goya otrzymał zlecenie na dwa obrazy do bocznych ścian kaplicy: Święty Franciszek Borgiasz żegnający się z rodziną i Święty Franciszek Borgiasz u łoża konającego grzesznika. Obrazy te gloryfikują świętego jezuitę zaledwie 20 lat po wypędzeniu jego zakonu z Hiszpanii.

Franciszek Borgiasz urodził się w 1510 w Gandii, w Walencji. Pochodził z wpływowego rodu Borgiów, otrzymał arystokratyczne wykształcenie i służył na dworze króla Karola V Habsburga. Ożenił się z Leonor de Castro i miał ośmioro dzieci. Jako zaufany człowiek króla, w 1539 otrzymał zadanie sprowadzenia ciała zmarłej cesarzowej Izabeli Portugalskiej z Toledo do Grenady. Po przybyciu do miasta Franciszek musiał otworzyć trumnę, aby udowodnić, że zawierała ciało cesarzowej. Widok rozkładającego się ciała niegdyś pięknej władczyni wstrząsnął nim tak, że postanowił "nigdy więcej już nie służyć śmiertelnemu władcy". Po śmierci żony w 1546 wstąpił do nowo powstałego zakonu jezuitów, odrzucając dobra doczesne i tytuły.

Proweniencja
Od czasu powstania w 1787 obraz znajduje się w katedrze w Walencji.

Rise of the alien cat.
Happy Monday! How did everything go with the porch?
Yong, thanks for asking!! I think I frightened the poor guy who came to do the estimate. But all is well! 🙂 I had quite the adventure telling my hubby about it tonight!
Irena Chace Miller I'm sure your hubby had a good chuckle at the story.


Yesterday was planned to go for a bike ride with my son however, as usual, that didn't happen so after a long wait I decided to do some Zwift. I'm working towards getting my leg muscles back to what they were before this year started and before I damaged my leg so I went for some climbing. Innsbruck has some excellent hills to climb so that was the plan. I pedaled uphill the entire short ride that I did until the temperature in the room forced me to stop. Overheating quickly when doing indoors due to the air conditioning chillers not being turned on yet.
The hill climbing went well and once it got too hot to ride I went straight for outside to cool off before a cold shower to bring my temperature down. I only puked 3 times today, not bad. Today I am aiming to go back outside for a nice bike ride, I'd like to ride 50 miles however every plan goes south in a hurry so I won't even say it. I've reached out to my friend John to see if he wants to go and hadn't heard anything yet so playing it by ear. Depending on if John goes with or not will determine how early I go for my ride, I prefer to go as early as possible, that cool air in the early hours feels so good.
I'm not planning a direction, just to ride. My current goal is to slowly work towards getting my miles back up to par. If I can get 200 miles this week then next week I aim for 250-300 miles for the week and continue trying to improve until I get to where I need to be.
The Air conditioning should be on within the week, fingers crossed as it is getting very warm indoors. Time to have my coffee with Annika, have an epic adventure day today and thanks for the support.
Here's hoping you get your cool air soon!!!


Multiple owners / Receiving events from multiple ancestors.
For instance, I've got a component that is responsible for laying out and displaying multiple pages on the screen, affecting their visibility etc. Lets call it the PageManager.
Each page also has it's own controller, lets call them PageController.
The PageControllers are *not* children of the PageManager, but they do pass their PageView component into the layout.
I would like the PageView to be able to receive waterfalled events from both it's PageController and the PageManager.
It seems like this would require the PageView to be owned by both the PageController and the PageManager. How do I achieve this?
If you can't make the PageControllers children of the PageManager you'll need to use enyo.Signals to pass messages.

Cinema, Theatre
NTLive's OTHELLO
10 October 2013 Lynne Lancaster
Rory Kinnear as Iago and Adrian Lester as Othello in Nicholas Hytner's bold take on OTHELLO
This most excellent, enthralling, powerful version of Othello by the National Theatre (NT) is superb. Part of the NT Live series celebrating 50 years of the National Theatre in London this production is bleak, brutal and shattering. Under Nicholas Hytner's stunning, sharp direction the play has been updated to the present and the play reset to two main locations, a large city corporate office and an army barracks. In this version the usual idea that this Shakespeare's play is dominated by racism is glossed over, rather Hytner heavily concentrates instead on military details and hidden ironies.
The set design has wonderful, coldly effective sliding platforms/doors to frame various scenes, a violent arena in which even the scene changes have an aggressive feel. The harsh flood lit sets of concrete and barbed wire slide out from the back of the stage, moving towards the audience like tanks. Staccato bursts of music pump them along, pushing one scene into the next with the sliding/revolving. Helicopters whirr overhead. So central did Hytner consider the military context that he hired Jonathan Shaw, who served in the army for more than 30 years, as an adviser.
Hytner is blessed with a tremendous cast especially in the two very strong male leads of Othello and Iago.
Adrian Lester gives a towering, magnificent performance as a splendid Othello. Lester was last seen at the National in the title role of Nicholas Hytner's production of "Henry V." His screen work includes five series of the BBC's "Hustle." His theatre work also includes "Red Velvet" (2012 Critics' Circle Best Actor Award), "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Company" (Olivier Award), the title role in Peter Brook's production of "Hamlet" and Rosalind in Cheek by Jowl's "As You Like It." . At the beginning he is a well loved top general , a great military man. We see how his trust, and being caught in Iago's devilish web of machinations, represents his downfall .Charismatic and dignified his speech, his first entrance is sunny and orotund. Men would follow him with his golden voice anywhere.
As he murders Desdemona and suicides his eloquence is marvellous and almost terrifying .His jealousy is so intense it makes him vomit. When he succumbs to jealousy he seethes with the sort of fury that causes him to flip a table with a single flick of his wrist…punch holes in the wall.
Rory Kinnear as 'honest' Iago is also superb, giving a cold, malevolent performance as Othello's nemesis . Kinnear's film and TV work includes "Southcliffe," "Black Mirror: The National Anthem," and "Skyfall, Quantum of Solace." His work for the National includes "The Last of the Haussmans" with Julie Walters and the title role in "Hamlet" (Evening Standard Best Actor Award), both of which were broadcast by National Theatre Live.
Kinnear's Iago is ambitious and manipulative with a deadly ,cynical intelligence wearing a false, charming social mask until just before the very end. Kinnear surprises by shocking the audience into laughing at his bitter ingenuity, rather like Richard 111 ,with the monologues drawing us in with even great clarity .Iago air-punches and victory dances when he gets one up on the object of his scorn and hate, plants his feet aggressively apart and helps himself to the water he 'offered' Othello when Othello collapses. Iago tries to control his obsessive hate but in the end his hate controls him.
Innocent,wronged Desdemona was enchantingly played by Olivia Vinall. In this version she is shown as young, blonde, pretty and determined to have her way as she is desperately in love with Othello. But their two worlds are quite separate – will their marriage survive? She is frail and tiny, chaste and rather out of place in the harsh world of the barracks.
Emilia, Iago's wife (Lyndsey Marshal), is here shown as more Desdemona's friend rather than her maid. Generally she is rather quiet but, forceful and angry towards the end when protesting Desdemona's innocence. When Emilia discovers the depths of Iago's deception and betrayal she becomes a passionate mouse that roars.
Jonathan Bailey (recently seen in ITV's Broadchurch) plays Cassio as very charming but with a deep hidden flaw that Iago exploits, and Tom Robertson's Roderigo is a believable handsome, elegant dandy.
Also of interest is the short film screened at interval on the pressures of army life and the importance of trust between comrades that sheds light on why Othello so wholly believed Iago's claims against Desdemona.
For once, Othello's credulity is convincing and Iago's hatred whilst not having a justification does have a possible cause. The tension between the two leads is terrifically calibrated. A stirring, chilling and thrilling production that transfers wonderfully from stage to screen.
OTHELLO, part of the NTLive series screened at selected cinemas on the weekend of the 12th and 13th October, 2013. Running time 3 hours and 40 minutes without interval. For more information visit,-www.ntlive.com

Crashed Ukrainian Plane Black Box to Be Decoded in France: Iran
An Iranian official says data on the black box of the Ukrainian plane that was mistakenly shot down by Iranian air defence systems near Tehran last Wednesday will be decoded in France.
The official said the move is aimed at preventing any possible damage to the flight recorder.
"We used all our facilities to assess the black box; however, as the crashed plane is a modern Boeing aircraft, Iran does not have the technology to download data from its black box and decoding data on the black box might harm it," said the director general of the Accidents Office of the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
"We asked five countries, including Ukraine, Sweden, Britain, Canada and the United States, to download data on the black box in a prestigious and neutral laboratory in the world," the official added.
"The final suggestion was that France be selected as the country, and all five countries agreed that the black box be decoded in France," the official added.
This comes as the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces has, in a statement, admitted that the Kiev-bound plane had been unintentionally and mistakenly shot down by Iranian air defence systems.
The plane crashed outside Tehran shortly after takeoff last Wednesday, killing all 176 people on board.
The accidental downing of the airplane occurred hours after the IRGC launched missiles at a US base in Iraq, and was at highest alert following the attacks.

Mannboro is a rural unincorporated community in eastern Amelia County in the U.S. state of Virginia. It is located along SR 612 (Richmond Road) at its split and curve junctions with SR 708 (Namozine Road).

Early spellings of the name included "Mannborough" and "Mannsborough"; in 1829 a post office was established under the name "Mannsboro", one of the first in Amelia County. The post office in present-day Mannboro (ZIP code 23105), however, now serves only the immediate vicinity; surrounding areas are served by the post office at Amelia Court House (ZIP code 23002), approximately 14 miles northwest. Amelia County Volunteer Fire Department Station 2 is also located within community limits.

Mannboro lies along the route followed by Confederate general Robert E. Lee and his army in their westward retreat during the final days of the Civil War. Confederate forces, hoping to reach a promised delivery of badly needed rations at the Court House rail depot, had just fought an inconclusive battle at Namozine Church, 6 miles east, on April 3. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox on April 9, 1865.

Mannboro School, built around 1925 or 1926, was among several Rosenwald Schools in Amelia County. The particular design for Mannboro called for a 2acre site with a schoolhouse to accommodate two teachers. During the early 20th century, the Rosenwald School project was a collaborative effort that built thousands of facilities across the South primarily for the education of African American children. As late as 1967, after desegregation, a campus named Mannboro School, alternatively called Amelia Academy, continued to operate on Route 612.

Biografia

Origini

Nata a Harlem, era figlia di Martha Espy e Arthur Hendricksen Wright, un agente di assicurazioni. Crebbe nel New Jersey, a Maplewood. Frequentò la Columbia High School, dove cominciò a interessarsi alla recitazione. Durante le vacanze estive, partecipò alle produzioni del teatro di Providencetown.
Dopo il diploma, ottenuto nel 1938, tornò a New York, ottenendo la parte di Emily in Our Town di Thornton Wilder quando Martha Scott, l'interprete della messa in scena teatrale, partì per Hollywood per partecipare alla versione cinematografica del dramma.

Carriera
Alla fine del 1939 le venne affidata la parte di Mary Skinner in Life with Father, ruolo che interpretò nei due anni seguenti. Fu allora che un talent scout, che lavorava per Samuel Goldwyn, la scoprì a teatro. La giovane attrice venne scelta per affiancare Bette Davis nell'adattamento cinematografico di Piccole volpi (1941), nella parte della figlia. Già dal suo esordio cinematografico ottenne subito una candidatura all'Oscar. L'anno dopo fu ricandidata, questa volta come miglior attrice protagonista, per L'idolo delle folle (1942), ma il premio andò a Greer Garson per la sua interpretazione in La signora Miniver (1942). Nello stesso film recitava pure la Wright nel ruolo della nuora, e pure questo ruolo le valse una candidatura - la terza - all'Oscar. Questa volta, sbaragliando le avversarie, l'attrice riuscì a conquistare l'ambita statuetta nella categoria attrice non protagonista.
Teresa Wright ottenne una candidatura all'Oscar per ognuno dei suoi primi tre film girati a Hollywood. Nel 1943 venne prestata da Goldwyn all'Universal, dove fu diretta da Alfred Hitchcock in L'ombra del dubbio (1943), accanto a Joseph Cotten. Altri film di notevole impatto furono I migliori anni della nostra vita (1946) e Il mio corpo ti appartiene (1950), due pellicole incentrate sul difficile ritorno a casa dei reduci della seconda guerra mondiale.
Alla fine degli anni 50 lavorò soprattutto in TV e tornò sul palcoscenico ottenendo la candidatura agli Emmy Award nel 1957 e nel 1960. Le sue ultime apparizioni sullo schermo includono Ovunque nel tempo (1980), dove apparve tra i protagonisti. Chiuse la carriera interpretando per Francis Ford Coppola L'uomo della pioggia (1997), nel ruolo di "Miss Birdie".

Vita privata
Dal 1942 al 1952 fu sposata con lo scrittore Niven Busch, dal quale ebbe due figli.
Nel 1959 sposò i commediografo Robert Woodruff Anderson.
Morì a 86 anni per un infarto allo Yale-New Haven Hospital nel Connecticut.

Sysoon is on AboutUs.org
AboutUs.org is a wiki Internet domain directory. It lists websites along with information about their content. As a wiki, AboutUs allows Internet users to add entries or modify information.
Ray King, Jay Westerdal, & Paul Stahura founded AboutUs in 2005. Later in 2006 a small staff of five people in Portland, Oregon developed out the site, United States. The staff has since expanded to more than thirty people and two continents with an office in Lahore, Pakistan. In May 2007, Ward Cunningham, developer of the first wiki, joined AboutUs as its chief technology officer.
AboutUs.org attracted at least 1.4 million U.S. visitors in July 2008
