Two fragments of piano concertos, K. a and K. b, in D major and D minor respectively, were also probably begun in this month, although perhaps earlier. Finally, the last concerto, No. 27 (K. ) was the first work from the last year of Mozart's life: it represents a return to form for Mozart in the genre.

Grumiaux plays superbly on the two discs (out of 5 here) devoted to Mozart. They were recorded, incidentally as part of the bicentennial celebration of Mozart's birth in In the Romantic works, the age of the recording might be more of a drawback for some listeners, but the playing of Grumiaux is impeccable and well-caught by the microphones.5/5(7).

Clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) are advanced practice nurses that provide direct patient care and expert consultations in a chosen specialty, such as public health or neonatal nursing. To become a CNS, a licensed RN must earn a master?s and pass a certification exam in the chosen specialization, such as the exams offered by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) that are accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies and the Accreditation Board for Specialty Nursing Certification. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects excellent, overall job growth for registered nurses?especially for CNSs, who increasingly replace physicians as more affordable primary care providers.

Wally's sets its store in Royal Arcade
Ryan Pratt
Wally's, Cardiff's best-known deli, has confirmed that it has renewed the lease on its long-established delicatessen and kaffeehaus in Royal Arcade, Cardiff. The lease had come to the end of its agreed term and Cooke & Arkwright negotiated the renewal with the landlord on Wally's behalf.
Ryan Pratt of Cooke & Arkwright's Retail & Leisure team said, "We are very pleased to have been able to assist such a respected establishment as Wally's in securing the premises for a further term, particularly in the current difficult circumstances for retail and leisure operators.
"The preference was to stay in their current location, which is well known to regular customers and is one of Cardiff's premium Victorian shopping arcades, so this is an excellent outcome. It's also good news that such a long-standing Cardiff retailer has signalled its confidence in the locality for the future."
Steven Salamon, the owner of Wally's and son of its founder, Wally Salamon, said, "We are pleased to be able to commit once again to our premises in Royal Arcade. During lockdown we had to close at first due to the difficulty in securing supplies and to ensure the safety of our staff. Since reopening at the beginning of June we have steadily increased our business week by week and at the same time dealt with a surge in online orders. We are confident that our business will gradually return to pre-covid levels within the next 12 months."
Wally's doubled its floor space in Royal Arcade in 2009 when Cooke & Arkwright acquired the lease on adjoining premises of 2,170 sq ft, and Wally's Kaffeehaus, a Viennese style coffee house opened on the first floor in 2011.
The deli now offers a range of over 3,000 product lines from around the world, including a three metre olive bar, a wide selection of speciality cheeses, charcuterie, artisan breads, chocolates, teas, coffees, oils and beverages, and Italian Gelato, a healthy ice cream alternative made with milk rather than cream. Wally's also has a Liquor Store in nearby Castle Arcade.
The disposal of 120,000 square feet on the Heads of the Valleys Industrial Estate was a particularly satisfying task. The building had been rebuilt following fire damage, and Jeremy Symons and his team were successful in identifying a nearby purchaser looking to expand. The sale price, at £4,000,000, represented a record sale price for a property of this nature in the area, and with great tenacity and endeavour was completed in a timely fashion. An excellent result.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/CBSNews/AP) — A Southwest Airlines jet blew an engine at 32,000 feet and was hit by shrapnel that smashed a window, setting off a desperate scramble by passengers to save a woman from getting sucked out. She later died, and seven others were injured.
The pilot, identified as Tammie Jo Shults, took the twin-engine Boeing 737 bound from New York to Dallas with 149 people aboard into a rapid descent and made an emergency landing in Philadelphia as passengers using oxygen masks that dropped from the ceiling said their prayers and braced for impact.
Martinez said it was difficult to breathe as smoke poured into the plane.
The National Transportation Safety Board sent a team to Philadelphia. Pictures show investigators on scene examining damage to the engine. Shrapnel busted the fuselage and blew out a window.
One passenger, Jennifer Riordan from Albuquerque, New Mexico, was killed. She was married with two children and a longtime employee of Wells Fargo visiting New York City.
Passenger Kathy Farnan says she could hear the commotion going on behind her.
"She was way in back, cut in the face, flying glas from part of the engine hit glass and she got hit in the face and then I was told she was half out of the plane and people grabbed her back, ya know, from the pull," she told CBS2's Meg Baker.
Over air traffic control, the pilot asked for medical help to board the plane.
Riordan was the first passenger killed in an accident involving a U.S. airline since 2009. The seven other victims suffered minor injuries.
Shults is being hailed as a hero for landing safely. Passengers commended her for her cool-headed handling of the emergency. She walked through the aisle and talked with passengers to make sure they were OK after the plane touched down.
Thank God for the brave crew who managed to land @SouthwestAir #Flight1380 (bound for Dallas) and prevent further casualties. Pilot Tammie Jo Shults and her crew are heroes.
The last time a passenger died in an accident on a U.S. airliner was 2009 when 49 people on board and one on the ground were killed when a Continental Express plane crashed on a house near Buffalo, New York.
In 2016, a Southwest Boeing 737-700 blew an engine as it flew from New Orleans to Orlando, Florida, and shrapnel tore a 5-by-16-inch hole just above the wing. The plane landed safely. The NTSB said a fan blade had broken off, apparently because of metal fatigue. Investigators say they've also found evidence of metal fatigue on the plane where the engine malfunctioned on Tuesday.
Part of the engine from flight 1380 was found on the ground in Berks County, Pennsylvania — roughly 65 miles from the airport. Officials are helping passengers make connected flights so they can hopefully get back to their loved ones. Meanwhile, officials will be looking into when the plane and its engines were last inspected.

Bonnin brandishes stout arsenal, beats Stetson
By Don WilliamsA-J Media
Mar 25, 2019 at 8:05 PM Mar 25, 2019 at 8:05 PM
Bryce Bonnin's Texas Tech debut, a start in which he faced seven batters, retired one and couldn't throw strikes, elicited perhaps the most unexpected coach's reaction of the season.
Tim Tadlock called himself "ecstatic," not based on Bonnin's results, but the eye-popping stuff.
Five weeks later, the Tech coach is no less enthusiastic and the results are trending up.
Bonnin took a shutout into the seventh inning Monday against Stetson in a game the Red Raiders wound up winning 5-4. It was the finale of a five-game home stand.
The sophomore righthander went a season-high 6 1/3 innings, giving up one hit and one run to a team that won 48 games and made a super regional last year. That made the transfer from Arkansas 2-0 with a 3.24 earned-run average.
Bonnin's plus fastball-slider combo gives him as much potential to dominate as any starter on the Tech staff, though he's been out of the weekend rotation since that disastrous first start in mid-February.
"The stuff's really good," Tadlock said. "The angle's tough. Everything about him's tough. It's just a matter of him getting in rhythm and (throwing) strike one. The more he does that, the better he's going to be.
"There's a lot of these guys, guys like him, if they commanded the ball and threw strike one, it's hard to get them to school sometimes [not signing professionally out of high school]. ... Guys with power arms sometimes take a little longer."
Bonnin's fastball sits at 94-96 miles per hour, touching 98-99. He has the slider for a put-away pitch when he gets ahead in the count and is working on a change-up.
The getting ahead in the count is the elusive part.
Bonnin walked the Stetson leadoff batter and another batter in the second and the leadoff batter in the third. The sophomore righthander from Mont Belvieu Barbers Hill now has 16 walks in 16 2/3 innings this season.
"I'm tired of walking guys," he said. "Tired of putting myself in situations where I put the first two guys on or just the leadoff guy on and am having to pitch out of the stretch and always having to worry about having a runner on base. I need to learn to fill up the zone early, not throw as many pitches and let guys put the ball in play. We have an amazing defense."
If Bonnin's raw, there's a good explanation. This is his third year to pitch. Like many baseball players who are the top talent on the team at a young age, he played shortstop growing up.
"I didn't ever step on a mound until my senior year of high school," he said. "When I started my career at Arkansas, I went there as a two-way (player), just because they heard I could pitch my senior year. But I committed there as a shortstop or an outfielder. I was never a pitcher until my senior year of high school, and I think the only reason I threw then was just because we had nobody else."
Bonnin admitted, albeit in a lighthearted manner, that not being in the middle of the action every day takes some getting used to.
"Pitching is boring," he said, smiling. "Not pitching in games, but being a pitcher is so boring, because you don't play most of the time and then if you have a bad outing, you have to wait so long to get back in the game. You have to wait a week or three games or whatever, and it's really frustrating."
With his arm, however, there's a good chance he'll grow into a role that's far from boring. Tadlock said he and his staff talk all the time about how best to pick three starters while keeping the bullpen at its strongest.
Roles for Bonnin and John McMillon, another hard thrower, are part of those discussions.
"If those guys come on," Tadlock said, "those guys could pitch at the front end of anybody's rotation. We just want to get them out there as much as we can."
Tech scored four of its runs in the third with an RBI double from Dylan Neuse, a two-run triple from Josh Jung and a sacrifice fly from Brian Klein. In the fourth, Cameron Warren hit an RBI double that made it 5-0.

Caroline Hunt (VA) gave a series of demonstrations on the vast grounds of the estate, before a crowd of 3,000 visitors. This successful promotion of our sport at a landmark site was the culmination of two years of work between Robert Ferrer, MFH, and staff at Mount Vernon.
Emily Daignault-Salvaggio, Coatesville, PA, and her horse Gin Joint clinched the Field Hunter division of the 2015 Thoroughbred Charities of America Thoroughbred Makeover. Daignault-Salvaggio is no stranger to buying horses off the track. With professional experience in the racing industry, foxhunting and eventing, she knows the ins and outs of ex-racehorses and transitioning them into new careers, and when she decided to start shopping for a new horse, she had the Retired Racehorse Project Makeover specifically in mind.
Genesee Valley Hunt looks forward to foxhunters of all ages participating in the pack's Sporting Weekend, October 9th-11th, 2015. The valley is a beautiful spot during the first part of October and the fall colors will arrive along with crisp mornings!
The weekend will kick off with a formal late afternoon hunt on Friday, October 9th, followed by a pre-race party welcoming all of our visitors and the participants in the races. The races begin Saturday morning, October 10th, with sanctioned races over jumps, flat races, and other fun races, including a pace race for fox hunters and heavy horses.

County's spring beauty highlighted on International Biodiversity day event
Administrator | May 24, 2016 | Comments 0
By Cheryl Anderson
The sun was shining. The Rose-breasted Grosbeak was singing in the woods. What a glorious day to celebrate International Biodiversity Day!
Forty-two members of the county and Belleville gathered at Point Petre Rd and Army Reserve Rd and came away with a new appreciation of the South Shore. Among them were Neil Ellis, Liberal MP, Mayor Robert Quaiff and Councillor Steve Ferguson.
Mayor Quaiff and some of his family were among participants of this year's Riverwalk to explore the Mill Falls property in all its spring finery. The event was a fundraiser for South Shore Appeal Fund, and part of this year's Spring Birding Festival which was still under way as Biodiversity Day participants enjoyed a picnic at the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory.
For some it was their first visit, for others like seeing it for the first time in a brand new light. Each of the four stops needed a half day visit instead of only 20-30 minutes, but everyone came away with the intention of returning again to enjoy the impressive scenery and intriguing plants and animals that abound there.
A map of the route and a two page hand-out highlighting each site with photos of some species that we might encounter was distributed.
Within minutes we'd found two of the species in the photos – Carolinian Twinleaf, a spring ephemeral already in fruit and the American Redstart flitting in the trees at the Point Petre Woods.
Walking to view the cliffs at the shore where flowering Columbine harbours the now rare Columbine Duskywing butterfly, was a magnificent beginning to the tour.
At the Miller Nature Reserve, Dick Bird of the Hastings-Prince Edward Land Trust presented Neil Ellis with an IBA (Important Bird Area) sign, similar to those found in the National Wildlife Area, to adorn his office and remind him of this tour and how impressive the south shore is.
Participants were given permission to visit the Nature Reserve any time and invited to take two Bluebird boxes he provided to put up on their own property.
There was only time for a quick stop at Ostrander Point Crown Land Block to learn about the rare bur oak savannah along Ostrander Point Rd and in the swamp beyond, the caterpillars of the Harvester butterflies that eat woolly aphids instead of leaves as well as hearing about the Whip-poor-wills that flew over and around us during our BioBlitz there in Aug. 2014.
There just wasn't enough time to go looking for the threatened Least Bitterns in the marshes of the Provincial Wildlife Area or Blanding's Turtles there and at Ostrander Point but in the dust of the convoy along Army Reserve Rd we did see the tiny Bluets just beginning to flower in the harsh conditions of the alvar between Lighthall and Charwell Point Roads.
In another week or two the ground will be blue, covered by the flowers of this tiny unusual plant that can survive in extremes of wet and dry conditions, and is so rare outside the South Shore.
At Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory Terry Sprague capped off the morning sharing his vast knowledge of all things historical and natural in the County, describing how the Bird Observatory came to be when members of the Kingston Field Naturalists found warblers "dripping from the trees" after having made the long flight across Lake Ontario.
We shared a picnic at the Bird Observatory where the Spring Birding Festival was still in progress.
Finally Marc Seguin told us about the Traverse Point Lighthouse and its recent designation as a Heritage Lighthouse including some of its history and how we need to help support it.
The South Shore of Prince Edward County is a globally significant Important Bird and Biodiversity Area, includes one of only three Monarch Butterfly Reserves in Canada, supports a vast number of birds migrating through every spring and fall (almost 7 million since 2001), is the habitat of nearly 20 Species at Risk, includes three Provincially Significant Wetlands, and rare and endangered habitats such as alvar oak savannah.
For all these reasons Prince Edward County Field Naturalists, Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory and Point to Point Foundation suggest that the South Shore be considered for protection under the UN Convention of Biological Diversity 2000 signed by both Canada and Ontario to ensure that it's high biological diversity will be preserved for future generations.

Where to begin with late filmmaker and video essayist Harun Farocki
by Ben Sachs August 29, 2014 August 18, 2021
I've failed to write about the influential filmmaker, theorist, and video essayist Harun Farocki since he died three weeks ago, in large part because I knew very little about him before this past January, when Kevin B. Lee presented a program of his work at the Nightingale. The numerous memorials written about Farocki in the past four weeks have made it clear that he was a great teacher both in and out of the academy. Given the breadth of his output—IMDB lists 79 directorial credits—I suspect I'm not the only person still catching up with his teachings. (This piece by Michael Sicinski provides a useful map for navigating his body of work.)
Facets has released several Farocki titles on DVD, and these are fairly easy to locate. Last week I caught up with The Interview, a 1996 documentary about a career-coaching seminar that's prescient in its analysis of video imagery. Interview focuses on how the counselors use video to record their mock job interviews, then scrutinize their clients' every gesture while watching the playback. Often they advise their clients to alter their body language, their speech, even their conversational manner—in effect, to pretend to be other people. Farocki's filmmaking fights fire with fire, scrutinizing the scrutinizers and exposing their servo-mechanistic view of human interaction. This pedagogical documentary asks us to consider the relationship between video recording (with its instant playback and the flat-looking way it captures light) and the dehumanizing worldview espoused by the career coaches. In the smartphone era, video imagery is so pervasive that Interview practically seems quaint. This would suggest that Farocki's work will remain relevant for quite some time.
Below you can find the first five minutes of The Interview and the entirety of Farocki's 1969 short Inextinguishable Fire.

The downtown skyline of Miami features a contemporary look, with a large collection of gleaming glass-walled skyscrapers accented with neon lighting at night. The Brickell neighbourhood, just south of the city's historic central business district, became one of Miami's fastest-growing neighbourhoods and is the city's major financial district. More than 70 percent of the population is Hispanic/Latino. Indeed, the city's close relationship to Latin America is especially well represented in its ethnic neighbourhoods. The Little Havana district, just west of downtown, developed as a largely Cuban enclave within the city. Its annual Calle Ocho festival (March; part of the Carnaval Miami celebration) draws large crowds of visitors. Little Haiti, to the north of downtown, developed as a primarily Haitian neighbourhood after refugees began arriving in the city in the 1990s.

There are museums of history, art, and science, as well as several theatre, music, and dance organizations. Scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, windsurfing, and sportfishing are among the many popular outdoor activities, as are sailing regattas and fishing tournaments. Horse and greyhound racetracks and jai alai frontons offer pari-mutuel betting. The city is home to several professional sports teams, including the Miami Marlins (baseball), Miami Dolphins (gridiron football), and Miami Heat (basketball), and the annual Orange Bowl Festival (January) features a parade and college football game. Biscayne National Park is south of the city, and Everglades National Park is southwest.
Culture and history info
Spaniards in the 16th century found a village (perhaps 2,000 years old) of Tequesta Indians on the site. The name Mayaimi, probably meaning "big water" or "sweet water," may have referred to Lake Okeechobee or to local Native Americans who took their name from the lake. In 1567 the Spanish established a mission there as part of a futile attempt to subdue the Tequesta. They ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763 but regained it in 1783. After the United States acquired Florida from Spain in 1821, Fort Dallas was built (1836) as a base during the Seminole Wars. A few settlers—among them Julia D. Tuttle, known as the "mother of Miami," and William B. Brickell—gradually moved into the area.
In 1896 Henry M. Flagler extended his Florida East Coast Railway to the site after Tuttle and Brickell each gave him half of their landholdings for the project. Flagler had been convinced to extend the railroad after a freeze during the winter of 1894–95 killed most of Florida's citrus crop; Tuttle reportedly sent him a fresh orange blossom to prove that the freeze had not reached Miami. Flagler dredged the harbour, started constructing the Royal Palm Hotel, and promoted tourism. Miami was incorporated the same year.
Unfortunately no tours were found.

I'm going to visit my grandparents today. I used to go visit them all the time - I'd just talk and hang out, but in the last two years, as I've tried to sort out my own life and feelings, I've avoided much of my extended family. I miss them, and so made the plans to go. Now I'm feeling anxious and afraid and part of me wants to run away.
My grandma will ask me about my callings in church. If she does, I plan on being honest and telling her I haven't been to church in two years. And I suppose the real fear is that she'll be really hurt or sad.
They'll talk about my cousins and their kids, and I'll feel like I'm "less-than" because I'm divorced twice and I don't plan on having kids.
My grandma will make comments about my weight, and it will do funny things to my head.
They'll ask questions about my life, and my life isn't what I used to want or used to think it should be... I'll feel the old shame.
It IS ironic, as I write this, I realize I already DO feel the old shame. Here I go. I hope to just spend time with my grandparents. Enjoy their company. I don't want people I care about to be triggers of old shame. I think the only way to disconnect them as triggers is to face the fear, the shame, and see that really... there is nothing there.
You seemed ok when you came back, but I am very curious about how it REALLY went, you know, inside your head. Love you!
It went better than I expected - partially because I spent most of the time talking to Julee, and partially because all of my fears were not based much on present-day-reality.
Grandma did push a little by asking, "But how are you REALLY?"
My reply to her felt empowering to me and compassionate to her. I told her I could understand why she felt like she had to keep asking. Still, things are GOOD now, and I'm honest when they're not good.
how did the time with your Grandparents go?
Yeti - It was good. I didn't spend much time with them - I spent it mostly with my aunt, but the time I did spend was good. I had a great time, and I'm not scared to go back and visit again.
My passion: Connecting to the world.

Two beads that are vertically "adjacent" are 2 rows apart and separated by an interval of 2N + 1 beads in an N-around bracelet. In this case, N = 5, so 2N + 1 = 11. an N-around bracelet alternate between N and N + 1 beads. Two consecutive rows, which we call a double row, will therefore always contain exactly 2N + 1 beads. The offset between beads in consecutive rows means that the bead directly above a given bead will be two rows up—or equivalently, one double row up. 21, which also shows that two vertically "adjacent" beads (because of the row in between, they do not actually touch) are exactly 2N + 1 beads apart.
If you prefer a little more flexibility, you can simply choose a circumference and construct a design in several adjacent vertical layout strips, allowing the repeat length to be determined by the pattern (or even making a nonrepeating pattern). In fact, there are ways of designing bracelets without deciding on a repeat length or a circumference in advance! But for those techniques, you will have to wait until Part Two of this book. 16╇ ●╇chapter 1 Although a design in the bead plane gives a complete view of how the shapes and motifs in a pattern relate to one another, it can give a misleading impression of how the design will look on a finished bracelet.
11(a) shows a sheet of bead crochet graph paper tiled with an uncolored vertical layout for a 7-around, 57-bead repeat design (the parameters of the hexagonal pattern). Starting at any tile, we can place �adjacent tiles with either the hockey-stick translation of length 7 or a repeat translation of size 57, as marked by the blue and red arrows. 11(d) show it painted on two other layouts. The white arrows illustrate that the same two independent translations are used regardless of the choice of layout.

Revealed: US Military Bought Mass Monitoring Tool That Includes Internet Browsing, Email Data
The "Augury" platform includes highly sensitive network data that Team Cymru, a private company, is selling to the military. "It's everything. There's nothing else to capture except the smell of electricity," one cybersecurity expert said.

This Series explores surveillance and its intersection with race and civil rights. made possible with support from Columbia University's Ira A. Lipman Center.
Multiple branches of the U.S. military have bought access to a powerful internet monitoring tool that claims to cover over 90 percent of the world's internet traffic, and which in some cases provides access to people's email data, browsing history, and other information such as their sensitive internet cookies, according to contracting data and other documents reviewed by Motherboard.
Additionally, Sen. Ron Wyden says that a whistleblower has contacted his office concerning the alleged warrantless use and purchase of this data by NCIS, a civilian law enforcement agency that's part of the Navy, after filing a complaint through the official reporting process with the Department of Defense, according to a copy of the letter shared by Wyden's office with Motherboard.
The material reveals the sale and use of a previously little-known monitoring capability that is powered by data purchases from the private sector. The tool, called Augury, is developed by cybersecurity firm Team Cymru and bundles a massive amount of data and makes it available to government and corporate customers as a paid service. In the private industry, cybersecurity analysts use it for following hackers' activity or attributing cyberattacks. In the government world, analysts can do the same, but agencies that deal with criminal investigations have also purchased the capability. The military agencies did not describe their use cases for the tool. However, the sale of the tool still highlights how Team Cymru obtains this controversial data and then sells it as a business, something that has alarmed multiple sources in the cybersecurity industry.
"The network data includes data from over 550 collection points worldwide, to include collection points in Europe, the Middle East, North/South America, Africa and Asia, and is updated with at least 100 billion new records each day," a description of the Augury platform in a U.S. government procurement record reviewed by Motherboard reads. It adds that Augury provides access to "petabytes" of current and historical data.
Motherboard has found that the U.S. Navy, Army, Cyber Command, and the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency have collectively paid at least $3.5 million to access Augury. This allows the military to track internet usage using an incredible amount of sensitive information. Motherboard has extensively covered how U.S. agencies gain access to data that in some cases would require a warrant or other legal mechanism by simply purchasing data that is available commercially from private companies. Most often, the sales center around location data harvested from smartphones. The Augury purchases show that this approach of buying access to data also extends to information more directly related to internet usage.
Team Cymru says on its website that its solution provides "access to a super majority of all activity on the internet."
Do you work at a company that handles netflow data? Do you work at an ISP distributing that data? Or do you know anything else about the trade or use of netflow data? We'd love to hear from you. Using a non-work phone or computer, you can contact Joseph Cox securely on Signal on +44 20 8133 5190, Wickr on josephcox, or email joseph.cox@vice.com.
"Augury is the visibility into 93% of internet traffic," another website describing the tool reads. Some clients have access to the platform under the different brand name Pure Signal RECON, according to Team Cymru's website.
The Augury platform makes a wide array of different types of internet data available to its users, according to online procurement records. These types of data include packet capture data (PCAP) related to email, remote desktop, and file sharing protocols. PCAP generally refers to a full capture of data and encompasses very detailed information about network activity. PCAP data includes the request sent from one server to another, and the response from that server too.
PCAP data is "everything," Zach Edwards, a cybersecurity researcher who has closely followed the data trade, told Motherboard in an online chat. "It's everything. There's nothing else to capture except the smell of electricity." (Team Cymru told Motherboard it does limit what data is returned to users but did not specify what data actually is provided to a user of the platform.)
A source in the cybersecurity industry said "that's insane" when shown that sensitive information like PCAP data was available in Augury. Some private industry users appear to have less access to certain data types in Augury than those listed in the government procurement records. Motherboard granted multiple sources in this piece anonymity because they weren't authorized by their employers to speak on this issue.
Augury's data can also include web browser activity, like URLs visited and cookie usage, according to the procurement records. Cookies are sensitive files that websites plant onto computers when people visit them. Given their uniqueness, cookies can be effective for tracking. Facebook and Google, for example, use cookies to follow a particular user from website to website and track their activity. The NSA has then piggybacked off of these cookies to identify targets for hacking. Screenshots of an apparent Augury panel obtained by Motherboard show results containing cookies, URLs visited, and email data. Motherboard showed a section of one of the screenshots to multiple sources familiar with the tool who said it does appear to be the Augury panel.

Augury also contains so-called netflow data, which creates a picture of traffic flow and volume across a network. That can include which server communicated with another, which is information that may ordinarily only be available to the server owner themselves or to the internet service provider carrying the traffic. That netflow data can be used for following traffic through virtual private networks, and show the server they are ultimately connecting from. Multiple sources in the cybersecurity industry told Motherboard that netflow data can be useful for identifying infrastructure that hackers are using.
Team Cymru obtains this netflow data from ISPs; in return, Team Cymru provides the ISPs with threat intelligence. That transfer of data is likely happening without the informed consent of the ISPs' users. A source familiar with the netflow data previously told Motherboard that "the users almost certainly don't [know]" their data is being provided to Team Cymru, who then sells access to it.
It is not clear where exactly Team Cymru obtains the PCAP and other more sensitive information, whether that's from ISPs or another method.

Motherboard asked Team Cymru multiple times if Augury contains cookies, URLs visited, and PCAP data, as the procurement records show. Team Cymru did not answer the question directly, and instead wrote in an email that "The Augury platform is not designed to target specific users or user activity. The platform specifically does not possess subscriber information necessary to tie records back to any users."
"Our platform does not provide user or subscriber information, and it doesn't provide results that show any pattern of life, preventing its ability to be used to target individuals. Our platform only captures a limited sampling of the available data, and is further restricted by only allowing queries against restricted sampled and limited data, which all originates from malware, malicious activity, honeypots, scans, and third parties who provide feeds of the same. Results are then further limited in the scope and volume of what's returned," Team Cymru said in another email.
Some have used Team Cymru's data as part of investigations that aimed to identify specific computers and then contact the person using it, though. In July 2021 researchers at Citizen Lab published a report about Israeli spyware vendor Candiru. As part of that, the researchers wrote that they used Team Cymru's data to identify a computer they believed had been infected with Candiru's malware, and in turn, contacted the owner of that computer. Citizen Lab did not respond to a request for comment.
The procurement record that says Augury has access to PCAP data, URLs visited, and cookies relates to the maintenance of a Department of the Navy purchase of the tool. Other procurement data viewed by Motherboard shows the Department of the Navy paid for a "Platinum" Augury license. Beyond that, it is not clear which of Team Cymru's U.S. government clients have access to the more sensitive data such as cookies. Records for the Army, Cyber Command, and the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency do not explicitly include the "platinum" marker, but in some cases the amount paid by the agencies is the same amount the Navy paid for a platinum license.
These sales to the U.S. government were made through a company called Argonne Ridge Group, which Motherboard found shares an address with Team Cymru. Team Cymru told Motherboard in an email that Argonne Ridge Group is an affiliate of Team Cymru which has historically handled contracts with public agencies.
Although they don't explicitly mention Augury, Motherboard found multiple contracts between Argonne Ridge Group and the FBI and Secret Service. One of the FBI contracts says "it will secure funding approval to buy net flow from one commercial vendor and integrating it into existing sources of net flow available to cyber intelligence analysts to analyze as a proof of concept." The Secret Service did not respond to multiple requests for comment. The FBI did not provide a response in time for publication.
The Army was unable to provide a statement on the Augury platform purchases in time for publication. After initially acknowledging Motherboard's request for comment, the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency later deferred to the Department of Defense.
Charles E. Spirtos from the Navy Office of Information told Motherboard in an email that NCIS specifically "conducts investigations and operations in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. The use of net flow data by NCIS does not require a warrant." Spirtos added that NCIS has not used netflow during any criminal investigation, but that "NCIS uses net flow data for various counterintelligence purposes."
Regarding the whistleblower that Senator Wyden says approached his office, their complaint relates specifically to use by NCIS, which Motherboard found does have a contract with Argonne Ridge Group.
"NCIS will defeat threats from across the foreign intelligence, terrorist and criminal spectrum by conducting operations and investigations ashore, afloat, and in cyberspace, in order to protect and preserve the superiority of the Navy and Marine Corps warfighters," NCIS' website reads.
How Data Brokers Sell Access to the Backbone of the Internet
Joseph Cox
In his letter addressed to the oversight departments of the DHS, DOJ, and DOD, Senator Wyden writes that "my office was recently contacted by a whistleblower who described a series of formal complaints they filed up and down their chain of command, as well as to the DOD Inspector General and the Defense Intelligence Agency, regarding the warrantless purchase and use of netflow data by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS)."
The whistleblower alleges that NCIS is purchasing data from Team Cymru that includes both "netflow records and some communications content," the letter continues. "The whistleblower has informed my office that their complaint was forwarded by the DOD Inspector General to the Navy Inspector General." Pointing to the various U.S. government contracts for access to Augury, which his office also reviewed, in his letter Senator Wyden asks the oversight branches of the DHS, DOJ, and DOD to "investigate the warrantless purchase and use of Americans' internet browsing records by the agencies under your jurisdictions. Your independent oversight must ensure that the government's surveillance activities are consistent with the Supreme Court's Carpenter decision and safeguard Americans' Fourth Amendment rights."
The Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General, which the whistleblower alleges referred their complaint to the Navy, told Motherboard it had received Wyden's letter and was reviewing it. The Office of the Naval Inspector General declined to comment and directed Motherboard back to its Department of Defense counterpart.
Beyond his day job as CEO of Team Cymru, Rabbi Rob Thomas also sits on the board of the Tor Project, a privacy focused non-profit that maintains the Tor software. That software is what underpins the Tor anonymity network, a collection of thousands of volunteer-run servers that allow anyone to anonymously browse the internet.
"Just like Tor users, the developers, researchers, and founders who've made Tor possible are a diverse group of people. But all of the people who have been involved in Tor are united by a common belief: internet users should have private access to an uncensored web," the Tor Project's website reads.
When asked by Motherboard in April about Thomas' position on the Tor Project board while also being the CEO of a company that sells a capability for attributing activity on the internet, Isabela Bagueros, executive director for the Tor Project, said in an email that "Rabbi Rob's potential conflicts of interest have been vetted according to the standard conflicts disclosure process required of all board members. Based on the board's understanding of Rabbi Rob's work with Team Cymru, the board has not identified any conflicts of interest."
Motherboard has previously revealed other data purchases by the U.S. military. In 2020, Motherboard found that a Muslim prayer app downloaded more than 98 million times sold its location data to a broker called X-Mode. X-Mode, in turn, included U.S. military contractors among its clients. As part of that investigation, Motherboard also found that U.S. Special Operations Command had purchased Locate X, a surveillance tool based on location data harvested from ordinary apps. Last March, Motherboard reported that a military unit that conducts drone strikes bought Locate X too.
After Motherboard published some of those findings, Sen. Wyden asked the Department of Defense for more information about its data purchases. Some of the agency's subsequent responses were given in a form that meant Wyden's office could not legally publish specifics on the surveillance; one answer in particular was classified. Instead, Wyden wrote in a second letter in May 2021 to the agency: "I write to urge you to release to the public information about the Department of Defense's (DoD) warrantless surveillance of Americans," suggesting that the Pentagon is engaged in such surveillance. At the time, Wyden's office declined to provide Motherboard with specifics about the classified answer. But a Wyden aide said that the question related to the Department of Defense buying internet metadata.
In August, the House of Representatives approved changes to next year's military budget that would require the Department of Defense to start to disclose any purchases of web browsing or smartphone data that would ordinarily require a warrant, Gizmodo reported at the time. It has yet to be approved by the Senate.
Other cybersecurity companies also package controversial datasets. In 2020 Motherboard reported that HYAS, a threat intelligence firm, sourced location data in order to track people to their "doorstep."

Teen Lit: Carry On by Rainbow Rowell (There's Still a Fangirl Deep Inside…)
October 26, 2015 October 26, 2015 Angela Sylvia1 Comment
Last week I finished reading Rainbow Rowell's newest book, Carry On. I've talked about it before, but to recap, this novel is the fanfiction that her character Cath is writing in the wonderful wonderful book Fangirl, about her favorite series, Simon Snow. So it's a fanfiction of a fictional story inside of a fictional story.
Following still?
The book itself was pretty good. This is supposed to be Cath's imagining of the final novel in a series, and in a lot of ways it reads like that, as if I've picked up the last Harry Potter book without having ever touched the other six. Rowell does a great job of feeding enough background information that as a reader I never felt lost, and I really enjoy the unique magic system she came up with just for this book. Still, it didn't really grab me by the ears…until about halfway through, when the really slashy/fanfiction bits come all the way to the front of the story. Then I truly stopped feeling like I was reading the last book in a series I never read — instead I'm reading a fanfiction of a series I never read. And that made it wonderful.
I used to read a lot of fanfiction, mostly from upper high school through right past college. Most of the fic was slash, which is when the fanfic writer imagines characters who don't get together in the series pairing up, particularly male characters (at least in my reading). Fanfiction, both reading and writing it, is this way of delving way, way deep into the fandom, where you love the thing so much that when you run out of stuff to read, or characters won't do what you desperately want them to do (like kiss), you either scour the earth for more, or you invent your own stories.
I fell out of reading fanfic, part because I felt I had enough to read on my own, and part because unless you can find an author, or at least an aggregated list, it can be exhausting to dig around for something decent (most fanfiction is written so badly, oh, so, so bad). And I also haven't had a lot of things that I've been that particularly obsessed with. Some of my favorite stories, like Fullmetal Alchemist and Harry Potter, I've never been particularly motivated to find fanfic for, and it's been a long time since I've read something new where I felt a fanfiction was absolutely necessary.
This has fed a little into my worry that there isn't anything I'm enough of a fan of anymore (which is ridiculous, I'm a giant nerd bomb, but anxiety's gunna do what it's gunna do). There's not a lot that has given me that little twinge in my gut that let's me know my inner fangirl is shaking and flailing. Some things have given me that right level of obsession (Steven Universe, Steven Universe, Steven Universe) that makes it feel like my fangirl's waking up from a deep slumber…and then reading Carry On basically ripped off the sheets and kicked her out of bed.
Carry On is a fun book on its own, though I probably won't ever go back to reread it like I will with Fangirl. But I love what it is: a book written for nerds of a certain type, my type, who finally saw themselves so purely on the page with Cath's character, who know the thrill and nerdy importance of fanfiction. And I appreciate what it did, reminding me that there is a little fangirl vibrating inside of me, just waiting to break into the highest pitched squeal you ever heard.
Thanks, Rainbow Rowell. I needed that.
My Books in 2013
January 9, 2014 January 9, 2014 Angela Sylvia3 Comments
Looking back on my Good Reads list, this year was pretty big for new authors that I love
First and foremost is John Green, all of whose books I've now read, most notably of which is The Fault in Our Stars. I didn't fall in love with all of this books, but TFiOS is now and forever more one of the best pieces of writing I've ever come across. I can't stop recommending it to (or buying it for) people, and I only wish I had figured out how great it was when it first came out so I could have jumped on the bandwagon sooner. As a direct result of that, too, I've become a fan of his brother Hank and their YouTube pages, which help me while away all sorts of time I should be spending writing.
Speaking of books I missed the first ship on: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I mean, Jesus. The Fault in Our Stars is one of the most well-written books I've ever read, but man I think this is THE best book I've ever come across.
Then there's Rainbow Rowell. Eleanor and Park simultaneously broke and swelled my heart about as much as TFiOS, and Fangirl gave that wonderful, well, fangirl flutter in my gut that I don't feel as often as I once did. I still haven't read her adult book, but it's certainly on my list.
Also of note: this year, Sara Farizan, another Lesley graduate, published her first book, If You Could Be Mine, a wonderful love story. It makes me so proud to have been in the same program as her.
Not in the YA grouping: David Sedaris. How have I not read this man before? His nonfiction essays reveal a life that in most ways is very different from mine, but he still manages to write things that click and mesh with the way I see the world, that echo thoughts I've never said out loud because who else would possibly think that way? I've read almost everything he's written, which is really depressing in its own way, since I could read his books forever. But luckily Sedaris is one of those magical readers that stand up to rereadings (or re-listenings, since I switch between his audio books and print books) so I can just go back to him again and again and again.
2013 was also a year where I started getting into different forms of reading. audiobooks became my go-to way to pass the time doing chores or driving, though I do find myself being very picky with what I listen to: it has to be something I can spend only about 80% of my brain on, and I can't make myself listen to anything that equals more than 10 or so CDs. I've also discovered a new love of short stories, with Aimee Bender and George Saunders, and also J.D. Salinger and another new favorite book, Franny and Zooey.
Always there are new comics. This year I found a new favorite webcomic, Boumeries, which I've talked about before. I've also loved Gene Luen Yang's new duet (duology? twosome?), Boxers & Saints about the Boxer Rebellion in China. Other good ones were Message to Adolf by Osamu Tezuka, Same Difference by Derek Kirk Kim, and Marbles, a memoir on bipolar disorder, by Ellen Forney.
Really, I could go on and on about the books I loved this year. There are plenty I didn't name. But those are some of the things that stuck out for me. How about you?
Teen Lit: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
October 21, 2013 Angela Sylvia2 Comments
So I finished Fangirl a few weeks ago, but for some reason am only just now getting around to talking about it. After reading and loving Eleanor & Park, I was suddenly inspired to look Rainbow Rowell up on Amazon, to see if she had anything else coming out. And did she.
So, Fangirl is about Cath, a girl entering college. She's stressed about leaving her dad, and that her twin sister suddenly wants to be separate and have a different roommate and live in a different dorm. Her own roommate is older, and a little grumpy, and she may have bitten off more than she can chew with an advanced fiction-writing course.
Now, here's the part of the plot description that hooked me in. Cath is a fangirl, a hardcore fangirl over the Simon Snow series, which is obviously and hilariously a version of Harry Potter (I'm not going to say spoof, it's taken far too seriously to be a spoof). Not only does she read it, and buy merchandise for it, she also write fanfiction. Slash fanfiction. In which she has the two main male characters fall in love with each other, over and over again. I had never heard of an author actually having a character that took part in this segment of fandom, that for a moment I couldn't believe this was what the book was actually about. I was so stoked to read this book for that bit alone. What really thrilled me once I started reading it, though, is how seriously Rowell takes fanfiction as she's telling the story. Cath has a few problems with writing fic, one being that she spends so much of her time doing it, another that she fails a Fiction assignment because she decides to hand in a new piece of fanfiction. And there are characters that point out the downside of writing fanfiction, like her professor, pointing out that Cath is using it as a way to avoid living her own life, or writing her own stories. But Rowell also does a very excellent job of having Cath explain why writing fanfiction is so important to her, why she continues to do it, how it makes her feel just better about things. And even when Cath does finally realize that she has to write her own stories, it's not because she decided that fanfiction is something she has to push to the wayside. It's still important, it's just that now it's not the only important thing.
Also, being a nerd obsessed with a book series and writing gay fanfiction isn't the only thing about Cath. She's got a past that's a bit messed up, and issues with her parents and herself that make it more and more apparent why she is the way she is. These elements are just as important as the fact that she is a nerd, and it makes the story so multi-dimensional and whole that you don't have to be a fanfic-writing geek to understand Cath and relate to her on a very basic level. Basically, it's a real story about a real girl, who happens to write fanfiction.
There are so many things about this book I could talk about — the great characters, the truly funny dialogue ("But I like that we're not friends!" "I do, too. I'm sorry you had to ruin that by being pathetic."), and a plot that just pans out in a very real and satisfying way. This was great, great, great, and I love Rowell for bringing this into the world.
Book Thoughts: A Return to Harry Potter
September 16, 2013 Angela Sylvia3 Comments
As always, I have too many books on my list to read, from a new Francesca Lia Block novel to a nonfiction book on being an introvert. But surely I also have enough time to reread the entire Harry Potter series. I've read the first 4 books several times, but for some reason never got around to rereading 5-7. I became inspired to get on that when we were watching the movie marathon on ABC Family and my husband asked a question I could not remember the answer to. Unacceptable! But really, all I needed was one good excuse to read these guys again.
Speaking of J.K. Rowling, I've also gotten her new book, which she wrote secretly as a dude, from the library. Now, I'm in the minority of people who really, really liked The Casual Vacancy, so I went into The Cuckoo's Calling with I think far less trepidation than some other people I know. Unfortunately, I'm also not a real fan of crime novels, which this new one is, but I still adore her, so I'll get this beast read. Which I really need to get on top of to beat the hold list…
Other reason I have to rocket through this book: Rainbow Rowell's new book is out! I read Eleanor & Park a few months ago, and it's only my recent discoveries of The Fault in Our Stars and The Book Thief that beat out my love for that book. Her new on, Fangirl, sounds a tad less serious, but still delightful, especially since her main character is obsessed with a series that sounds a lot like Harry Potter…
Back to J.K. Rowling — have you heard about her movie? While I always thought that she would go back to books if she reentered the Harry Potter world, it's still really exciting to hear about the movie she'll be making. Even more exciting that it won't be something potentially series-ruining like, "Let's see what Harry's doing now!" I don't know if people are skeptical about this or not, but if they are, I say, leave her alone! After Harry Potter, Rowling's got something most writers don't: enough money and time to do whatever she wants. Let her try different genres and modes of storytelling; even if we don't like it, we just have to remember what her first project was, and realize that no matter what, we can forgive what comes next.

New Delhi: Developing economies across Asia are among the most vulnerable to natural disasters and have suffered damages estimated at 644 billion dollars since 2000, according to the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
"However, they are also among the most vulnerable to natural hazards such as storms, floods, droughts, tsunamis and earthquakes, and to the impacts of climate change such as sea-level rise, coastal erosion, and extreme temperatures," it said.
Household surveys following severe flooding in Indian cities show that in the absence of social protection, disaster-hit families used up savings or borrowed at high interest rates from informal lenders, pushing them further into indebtedness and poverty.
Compounding these vulnerabilities, poorer households had difficulty accessing the mechanisms that were typically used to cope with income shocks — notably financial services like insurance and credit.
To avert such situations, the report says, early warning is best done through a collective approach. Regional neighbors can establish and maintain an integrated warning system as a regional public good that reduces cost while boosting efficacy.
To build disaster-resilient infrastructure, investment needs in developing Asia are estimated at 26 trillion dollars from 2016 to 2030, or 1.7 trillion dollars per year, including necessary investments in climate-change mitigation and adaptation, the report says.

The team at Brando's believes great food made from quality ingredients, excellent service, and a warm atmosphere are the three elements of any enjoyable dining experience. In fact, Brando's is an "Osteria" in the truest meaning of the word. "Osteria" means a place where the owner hosts his guests.
The Story of Brando's Citi Cucina
The chef/owner, Steven Botta, grew up in Brooklyn and learned many of the recipes used at Brando's from his mother. Raised in this welcoming tradition, he believes when you enter Brando's, whether it's your first time or your one hundredth time, the customer should always feel as if they are dining with family.
"In creating Brando's, we believe we have achieved the perfect balance with a menu that is influenced, not only by a particular region of Italy, but by a combination of all its regions with subtle influences of French cuisine.
From simple and rustic to the elaborate, all of our dishes start with the freshest ingredients and are cooked "alla minute," which translates to "cooked to order." Soulful Italian is the best way to describe our menu. Our culinary team has been trained at the finest culinary schools and has over fifty years of combined experience. From our fresh pasta to our line caught fish to our thirty-five-day dry-aged steaks, the difference is discernible. In addition to the food and service, Brando's has created a unique atmosphere with music and movies.
At Brando's, customers dine while listening to music — from classic disco and R&B to Frank Sinatra and Andrea Bocelli — as classic gangster movies play over the bar. We offer a fun environment while maintaining a warm and welcoming vibe."

BILOXI, MS (WLOX) - Biloxi representation at the state capitol will soon be changing. Tommy Gollott just put the rumors to rest. The Biloxi senator exclusively told WLOX he is retiring.
Gollott, the longest serving state lawmaker in Mississippi history, says he will not run for re-election.
"I'm retiring. Fifty-two years is long enough to be anywhere," he said.
Gollott said he decided to go out on a high note and make the 2019 legislative session his last term at the state capitol. He spent his first 12 years in the House of Representatives. In 1980, he switched to the Senate and spent the last 40 years on that side of the capitol complex.
But the senator is still thinking of Biloxi's future. A couple of hours ago, Gollott took his son-in-law Burton Swoope to the state GOP headquarters and helped him qualify for Gollott's senate seat.
"I went down with him a little while ago and helped him run for my seat," he explained.
At the moment, Swoope is the only republican to enter the Senate District 50 race. Candidates have two more weeks to qualify.

Q: Swift modify Int array for InsertionSort algorithm I'm very new to Swift and I wanted to know how I'm supposed to modify an Int contained in my Int[]? I made it like I'd do it in Java but it, obviously, doesn't work: I get a Cannot assign to immutable value of type 'Int' compilation error.
Here is my code:
import Foundation

func createRandomArray(length: Int) -> [Int]{
     var random = [Int]()
     for index in 0...length{
         random.append(Int(arc4random_uniform(100)))
     }
     return random
}

func insertionSort(toSort: [Int]) -> [Int]{
    var length = toSort.count
    for index in 1...length-1{
        var key = toSort[index]
        var previous = index-1
        while(previous>0 && toSort[previous]>key){
            // ERROR IS THERE
            toSort[previous+1] = toSort[previous]
            previous--
        }
    }
    return toSort
}

var array = createRandomArray(10)

print(array)

print(insertionSort(array))

I thought that using a var instead of let will give a mutable object so that's why I'm a bit lost.
Thanks for help
EDIT:
I got this working answer yet, thanks to @vacawama:
import Foundation

func createRandomArray(length: Int) -> [Int]{
     var random = [Int]()
     for index in 0...length{
         random.append(Int(arc4random_uniform(100)))
     }
     return random
}

func insertionSort(var toSort: [Int]) -> [Int]{
    for firstIterator in 1...toSort.count-1{
        var currentValue = toSort[firstIterator]
        var previousPosition = firstIterator-1
        while(previousPosition>=0 && toSort[previousPosition]>currentValue){
            swap(&toSort[previousPosition+1], &toSort[previousPosition])
            previousPosition--
        }
    }
    return toSort
}

var array = createRandomArray(10)

print(array)

print(insertionSort(array))

A: Updated Answer for Swift 5.x and Beyond
Swift has had many changes in the 7 years since I answered this question.  It is no longer valid to insert var into the function header to make an array modifiable.  The modern way to do that is to make var toSort = toSort the first line of the function body.
Here is a modification of the OP's code with modern Swift updates:
func createRandomArray(_ length: Int) -> [Int] {
    var random = [Int]()
    for _ in 0..<length {
        random.append(Int.random(in: 0..<100))
    }
    return random
}

func insertionSort(_ toSort: [Int]) -> [Int] {
    var toSort = toSort
    for firstIterator in 1..<toSort.count {
        let currentValue = toSort[firstIterator]
        var previousPosition = firstIterator - 1
        while (previousPosition >= 0 && toSort[previousPosition] > currentValue) {
            toSort.swapAt(previousPosition + 1, previousPosition)
            previousPosition -= 1
        }
    }
    return toSort
}

var array = createRandomArray(10)

print(array)

print(insertionSort(array))

A shorter version of createRandomArray:
func createRandomArray(_ length: Int) -> [Int] {
    (0..<length).map { _ in .random(in: 0..<100) }
}

Note:  Your insertionSort() will crash if it is passed an empty array.  Add this guard statement to the start of the function body to prevent that:
guard !toSort.isEmpty else { return toSort }

Original Answer (now obsolete) for Swift 1.0
By default, array parameters are immutable within the called function. If you want to modify the copy of the array that is passed to insertionSort, add var before toSort in the function header.
func insertionSort(var toSort: [Int]) -> [Int]{

A: I played with the following using swift 3. Hope it'll help some people who come here.
import Cocoa

func ints(cnt: Int, ceiling: Int) -> [Int] {
    var arr = [Int]()
    for _ in 0 ..< cnt {
        arr.append(Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(ceiling))))
    }
    return arr
}

func insertion(arr: inout [Int]) {
    for i in 1..<arr.count {
        var j = i
        let x = arr[i]
        while j > 0 && arr[j - 1] > x {
            arr[j] = arr[j - 1]
            j -= 1
        }
        arr[j] = x
    }
}

let a = ints(cnt: 10, ceiling: 100)
print(a)

var b = a
insertion(arr: &b)
print(b)

output:
[13, 30, 68, 19, 1, 4, 28, 65, 96, 13]
[1, 4, 13, 13, 19, 28, 30, 65, 68, 96]

For comparison, here is an implementaion in java:
void insertionSort(int[] arr) {
    for(int i = 1; i < arr.length; i++) {
        int x = arr[i];
        int j = i;
        while(j > 0 && arr[j - 1] > x) {
            arr[j] = arr[j - 1];
            j--;
        }
        arr[j] = x;
    }
}

A: struct InsertionSort {

    static func sort(data: Array<Int> = [5,9,1,8,2,4,3,1]) {
        var data = data
        for (i, e) in data.enumerated() where i > 0 && e < data[i - 1]  {
            traverseBackwardAndSwap(i, &data)
        }

        printData(data)
    }

    private static func traverseBackwardAndSwap(_ i: Int, _ data: inout [Int]) {
        for i in (0...i).reversed() where i > 0 && data[i] < data[i-1] {
            let temp = data[i]
            data[i] = data[i-1]
            data[i-1] = temp
        }
    }

    private static func printData(_ data: [Int]) {
        for e in data {
            print("\(e)")
        }
    }
}

A: Swift 5: Generic Insertion sort
func insertionSort<U: Comparable>(with array: inout [U]) -> [U] {
    for i in 1..<array.count {
        let temp = array[i]
        var insertionIndex = i
        for j in (0...i).reversed() where j>0 && temp < array[j-1] {

Presidents and the Books They've Read
It practically goes without saying, but throughout history our nation's presidents have been avid readers. This Washington Post article highlights some of the books that have helped shape presidential viewpoints over the years.
From the article, written by Tevi Troy: "In a historical sense, Obama follows a long line of ardent presidential readers, paging all the way back to the founders. John Adams's library had more than 3,000 volumes — including Cicero, Plutarch and Thucydides — heavily inscribed with the president's marginalia. Thomas Jefferson's massive book collection launched him into debt and later became the backbone for the Library of Congress. "I cannot live without books," he confessed to Adams. And it's likely that no president will ever match the Rough Rider himself, who charged through multiple books in a single day and wrote more than a dozen well-regarded works, on topics ranging from the War of 1812 to the American West."
