The progress of supercomputer technologies initiated the development of methods of computational chemistry and their applications, particularly molecular dynamic simulations with ab initio potentials. These new methods allow to solve important problems of chemistry and technology. Particularly, solvent extraction and separation techniques are widely used to decrease the amount of radioactive wastes, especially radioactive caesium isotopes present in liquid phases. We demonstrated that the calculated binding constants between the alkali cation and calix[4]arene differ 103 times for Cs+ and Na+ ions, that is in good agreement with the experimental value. We report the results of benchmark calculations of our model system composed of 929 atoms described in the density functional theory approximation with the GGA-type functional PBE with the empirical dispersion correction D3 and combined basis of Gaussian functions and plane waves DZVP with Goedecker-Teter-Hutter pseudopotentials. We demonstrate that efficiency of calculations decrease to about half if the amount of nodes is 16 on the Lomonosov-2 supercomputer.

Youth leaders across the country are rallying students to impact new voter turnout in the midterms
Washington DC – After launching a historic wave of youth activism across the country, leaders of the youth-led gun reform and climate justice movements are joining together with other youth activist groups to form the Future Coalition. Founded by young activists, for young activists, today the Future Coalition kicks off their inaugural initiative #WalkoutToVote, a GOTV campaign with the goal of getting every eligible young person to vote in this year's midterm elections. Following a surge in youth voter registration this fall, high school and college students of all ages will walk out of their classrooms on election day and march to the polls to cast their ballots. Prior to launch, over 500 individual student-led walkouts have already been registered in schools across the country.
The Future Coalition member organizations include: Activism on the Road, B.R.A.V.E., Bridge the Divide, Bulletproof Ballot Project, Chicago Fuerte, Orange Generation, Indivisible Students, March on the NRA, Moco4Change, National Die In, National School Walkout, Parents Promise to Kids, Peace Warriors, Shattering the Silence, S.T.O.R.M., Student Voice, Team Enough, Zero Hour, and 50 Miles More.
"The young people of this country recognize that we have real power as activists and as voters, and we are ready for change to be made," said Ke'shon Newman, member of the B.R.A.V.E. Youth Leaders of St. Sabina. "The wave of activism that we've been seeing over the last few months is not just a blip. We are in the midst of a youth movement, a revolution, and we are ready to put in the work, as individual organizations and as part of a coalition of youth, to create the change we want to see."
"Last spring, youth across the country discovered their voices by walking out of class," said Lane Murdock, founder of National School Walkout. "But this time we're not just walking away from something, we are walking to something. All our voices together at the polls will make an impact like we've never seen."
"On November 6th, the voice of young people in this country will be heard loud and clear when we cast our ballots together," said March For Our Lives organizer, David Hogg. "You will hear us marching to the polls, and you will see the impact we have when we cast our ballots. And we'll make this impact because we're not afraid to work together to make it happen. The youth movement isn't about one issue or one group. It's about working together for a better future."
From Zero Hour Executive Director Jamie Margolin: "We did not create the systems of oppression we are fighting, but we are inheriting a dying planet and a chaotic dangerous future because of them. Our lives are being jeopardized by industries and special interests, like fossil fuel and the gun lobby, that put profits over the wellbeing of people, especially the youth who will have to clean up this mess. We're fed up, and we're a force to be reckoned with."
The Future Coalition is a national network and community for youth-led organizations to share resources, ideas, and a common goal of making the future a better, safer, and more just place for everyone. Young people are not just our future—they are the present, and the Future Coalition empowers them with the skills and support they need to make a difference in their communities and our country.
The Future Coalition is sponsored by March On, a political organization comprised of women-led political activist groups that grew out of the women's marches of January 21, 2017. They have come together as a united force to take concrete, coordinated actions at the federal, state, and local levels to impact elections and take our country in a better direction.

Trump's campaign chief linked to Kyiv cash scandal
By Christopher Cummins with New York Times, Agencies • last updated: 15/08/2016
Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau say secret documents link Paul Manafort, Donald Trump's campaign manager, to $12.7m in 'off the books payments' from the party of ousted president Viktor Yanukovych.
Manafort worked as a political consultant for Yanukovych's Party of Regions with an office in Kyiv.

The head of Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau, Artem Sytnyk made the following statement:" "Regarding Mr. Manafort, his last name is mentioned in the so-called "black ledger" of the Party of Regions. And according to this list, more than $12m were spent to cover expenses, which were related to this person starting from November 20, 2007."
There is no proof that he accepted payments between 2007 and 2012.
Manafort issued a stern denial: "I have never received a single 'off-the-books cash payment' as falsely 'reported' by the New York Times, nor have I ever done work for the governments of Ukraine or Russia,' he responded," he added "The suggestion that I accepted cash payments is unfounded, silly and nonsensical."

Rendezvous mit Joe Black (Originaltitel: Meet Joe Black) ist ein US-amerikanischer Spielfilm des Regisseurs Martin Brest aus dem Jahr 1998, in dem der Tod in menschlicher Gestalt (Brad Pitt) einen sterbenden Milliardär (Anthony Hopkins) bittet ihm zu helfen, das Leben kennenzulernen. Der Film startete am 14. Januar 1999 in den deutschen Kinos. Der Film ist ein Remake des Films Die schwarze Majestät von Mitchell Leisen aus dem Jahr 1934.

Handlung
Der Großunternehmer William "Bill" Parrish hört wenige Tage vor seinem 65. Geburtstag nach einem Herzinfarkt eine seltsame Stimme, die ihn an den nahenden Tod erinnert. Seine Tochter Susan lernt in einem Café einen jungen Mann kennen, der kurz darauf als Fußgänger bei einem Verkehrsunfall stirbt. Davon bekommt Susan jedoch nichts mit.

Es stellt sich heraus, dass die Stimme dem Tod gehört, der den Körper des jungen Mannes nutzen will, um eine unbestimmte Zeit unter den Menschen zu weilen. Parrish soll ihm als Führer dienen und darf so lange weiterleben, wie der Aufenthalt des Todes auf der Erde interessant bleibt.

Der Tod soll im Kreis der Familie wohnen, den Angehörigen wird er als Joe Black vorgestellt. Er verliebt sich in Parrishs Tochter Susan, die als Ärztin arbeitet. Susan ist mit Drew zusammen, der rechten Hand Bills bei Parrish Communications. Drew ist zudem ebenso wie Quince, der Ehemann der älteren Tochter Parrishs, im Aufsichtsrat. Es steht eine Fusion zwischen der Firma und einem anderen Großunternehmen bevor. Drew findet das Verhalten von Parrish zunehmend merkwürdig und schöpft Verdacht, dass Joe ihn veranlasst habe, die Fusion platzen zu lassen. Er veranlasst ein geheimes Treffen des Aufsichtsrats ohne Bill. Nachdem Bill erneut die Fusion abgelehnt hat, beruft sich der Aufsichtsrat auf einen Artikel im Gesellschaftsvertrag, nach dem Parrish zu seinem 65. Geburtstag als Vorsitzender zurücktritt und nur noch repräsentiert. Die Mehrheit des Aufsichtsrates stimmt für die Absetzung Bills.

Es kommt zum Streit zwischen Joe und Parrish, der seinen eigenen Tod akzeptiert, aber um das Leben seiner Tochter fürchtet. Parrish macht sich Sorgen, dass Joe nach dem Ende seines Besuchs auch Susan mitnehmen könnte. Eine alte, krebskranke Afroamerikanerin aus der Niederländischen Karibik, die Patientin von Susan ist, erkennt im Krankenhaus den Tod in Menschengestalt. Kurz bevor sie vom Tod geholt wird, bittet sie Joe darum, Susan nicht mitzunehmen.

Joe Black hilft Parrish auf dessen Geburtstagsparty, sein Unternehmen – sein Lebenswerk – vor der Zerschlagung zu bewahren. Er gibt sich als ein Mitarbeiter der Steuerbehörden aus und stellt Drew, der durch eine Intrige den Verkauf des Unternehmens eingefädelt hat, um sich selbst zu bereichern, zur Rede. Drew gesteht seine Taten, woraufhin der Aufsichtsrat, der über eine Telefonleitung alles mitgehört hat, den geplanten Verkauf platzen lässt, Drew entlässt und Bill rehabilitiert.

Schließlich nimmt Joe Bill mit ins Jenseits, lässt aber den Körper des jungen Mannes im Diesseits zurück. Dieser weiß nichts von seiner kurzzeitigen Identität als Joe Black und kann sich auch nicht an die Ereignisse vom Verkehrsunfall bis zur Rückkehr erinnern. Susan hat bereits während der Feier erkannt, dass Joe nicht derselbe Mann aus dem Café ist. So können sich die beiden noch einmal ganz neu kennenlernen.

Trivia
 Die Dreharbeiten fanden in New York und in Warwick Neck im US-Bundesstaat Rhode Island statt. Die luxuriösen Räumlichkeiten von William Parrish wurden in einem Lagerhaus im Stadtteil Brooklyn nachgebaut.
 Die Dialogzeile "Thank you for loving me" inspirierte Jon Bon Jovi zum gleichnamigen Song, der auf dem Bon-Jovi-Album Crush zu finden ist.
 Der Film war einer der wenigen Filme, bei dem der erste Trailer zu Star Wars: Episode I – Die dunkle Bedrohung gezeigt wurde. Tatsächlich kauften viele Zuschauer nur Tickets für den Film, um ihn dann zu verlassen, nachdem sie den Trailer gesehen hatten.
 Der mit dem Tod konfrontierte Unternehmer trägt den (in den USA durchaus gängigen) Namen William Parrish. Der Nachname Parrish hört sich ausgesprochen wie das englische Verb "perish" an, was übersetzt so viel wie "umkommen", "sterben" bedeutet. In Verbindung mit dem im Film auch verkürzt genutztem Vornamen "Will", wird daraus "will perish" also "wird sterben/umkommen".

Synchronisation
Die deutsche Synchronisation entstand nach einem Dialogbuch von Alexander Löwe unter der Dialogregie von Joachim Kerzel im Auftrag der Berliner Synchron.

Rezeption

Kritiken
Der film-dienst meinte: "Das Thema aus der alten Hollywood-Komödie Death Takes a Holiday (1934) von Mitchell Leisen verwandelt sich zu einer bedächtigen und behutsamen Meditation über das langsame Sich-Öffnen der Menschen im Angesicht des Todes. Dabei scheut der Film nicht davor zurück, Gefühlen und Gemütsbewegungen breiten Raum zu lassen. Das Ergebnis ist ein Werk, das heutzutage üblich gewordener Sensationalisierung mit leisen, oft geradezu konventionellen Mitteln entgegenzusteuern versucht. Abgesehen von dem oft überforderten Brad Pitt sind die hervorragenden Darsteller eine verläßliche Stütze, die den Film davor bewahren, einer gelegentlich spürbaren Überbelastung des Stoffes zu erliegen."

James Berardinelli schrieb auf ReelViews, der Film sei der bis dahin längste Film des Jahres 1998. Er sei besonders "langatmig" ("tedious") und "bombastisch". Die Chemie zwischen Brad Pitt und Claire Forlani stimme nicht.

Auszeichnungen
Anthony Hopkins und Claire Forlani wurden für den Filmpreis Saturn Award nominiert; für den gleichen Preis wurde Thomas Newman für die Filmmusik nominiert.

Die Deutsche Film- und Medienbewertung FBW in Wiesbaden verlieh dem Film das Prädikat wertvoll.

Der Film wurde als Schlechteste Neuverfilmung oder Fortsetzung für die Goldene Himbeere nominiert.

Q: How to get around network mapping issue "Bind for 0.0.0.0:8080 failed: port is already allocated" I'm trying to build a Jenkins docker container by following this page so I can test locally. Problem is with this is that once I've ran docker run -it -p 8080:8080 jenkins/jenkins:lts it seems I cannot use the same port for my docker-compose.yml:
version: '3.8'
services:
  jenkins:
    image: jenkins/jenkins:lts
    container_name: jenkins
    user: root
    privileged: true
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
      - 50000:50000
    volumes:
        - .jenkins/jenkins_configuration:/var/jenkins_home
        - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

The error shown in PowerShell (I'm on windows 10 if that's relevant) is:
Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint jenkins (xxxx): Bind for 0.0.0.0:8080 failed: port is already allocated

I've made sure it's not affected from another container, image or volume and have deleted everything apart from this.
I wish to use Jenkins locally but how can I get around this? I'm not familiar with networking and what I've googled so far has not seemed to work for me. I would like this to be able to use Jenkins ui on localhost:8080

A: If port 8080 is already allocated on your host machine, you can just map a different one to 8080 of the container instead. Two things can't be mapped to the same port on the host machine. In order to map 8081 for example, change your compose to the following:
version: '3.8'
services:
  jenkins:
    image: jenkins/jenkins:lts
    container_name: jenkins
    user: root
    privileged: true
    ports:
      - 8081:8080 # a different port is mapped here
      - 50000:50000
    volumes:
        - .jenkins/jenkins_configuration:/var/jenkins_home
        - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

Then, you just need to access the container started by docker-compose with port localhost:8081 rather than localhost:8080.

Flintshire-based house builder Redrow said on Thursday its revenue rose 10% to a record £2.1 billion in the year to June 30 and pre-tax profit climbed 7% to a record £406 million, all driven by a 13% increase in legal completions as it built 6,443 homes.
The house builder did concede however it is worried about the UK's post-Brexit future and also worried about the eventual impact of impending changes to the Help to Buy scheme.
Redrow is proposing a final dividend of 20.5p per share giving a full year dividend of 30.5p per share, 9% up on last year.
Redrow Executive Chairman John Tutte said: "I am delighted to report that Redrow for the sixth consecutive year has delivered record results.
"The group completed 6,443 homes, 13% up on the previous year and passing the 6,000 milestone for the first time.
"Revenue reached £2.1bn and pre-tax profit increased by 7% to £406m.
"This excellent trading performance led to strong cash generation and we ended the year with net cash of £124m after making the 'B share' payout in April.
"As a result we are proposing a final dividend of 20.5p per share giving a full year dividend of 30.5p per share, 9% up on last year.
"We are understandably cautious about the post-Brexit future and also the eventual impact of the impending changes to the Help to Buy scheme.
"We do however, have a clear strategy to continue to grow centred on our award winning Heritage Collection that is so popular across a broad range of buyers.
"Since the start of the new financial year, trading has been encouraging and the demand for our homes is strong with reservations running ahead of last year.
"Notwithstanding the political and economic uncertainty we face, we have every reason to be confident that 2020 will be another successful year for the group."

Should America tolerate Wikileaks or destroy it like any other national security threat?
Our own Jason Perlow sent me a link to a Washington Post editorial entitled WikiLeaks must be stopped.It's written by Marc A.
By David Gewirtz for ZDNet Government | August 3, 2010 -- 07:27 GMT (00:27 PDT) | Topic: CXO
Our own Jason Perlow sent me a link to a Washington Post editorial entitled WikiLeaks must be stopped.
It's written by Marc A. Thiessen, a Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative policy institute. Whether or not you normally agree with AEI's rather right-wing views, Thiessen has a point.
He basically argues what I've talked about before: that Wikileaks is distributing classified information and putting America, American troops, and world diplomacy at risk.
I did an interview on Miami's WFTL last week where I discussed many of these issues and, to a degree, say pretty much what Thiessen is saying. You can listen to the interview here (you'll need to scroll down until you find a slightly misspelled version of my name on July 29).
So, should Wikileaks be stopped?
Wikileaks is a particularly modern phenomenon. It takes advantage of a Web site's ability to operate below the radar and yet have a global reach.
On one hand, Wikileaks is just a modern version of age-old media. After all, mainstream media publications have been reporting on juicy, if secret stories for as long as they could get their hands on them. Watergate and the Washington Post itself make for a prime example.
On the other hand, Wikileaks may be engaging in a form of public espionage. In the old days, if someone wanted to pass secrets from one nation to another, they often used a form of spycraft called a dead drop, where information would be left by one spy for another to pick up.
In those days, the stolen information was only viewed by the opposing nation. In Wikileaks' case, that information is (generally) available publicly. There is a curious exception. Wikileaks is currently hosting a large, highly encrypted file entitled simply "insurance". Since we can clearly see the file is there, we must assume that Julian Assange is making some sort of implied threat -- to someone.
Governments often do bad things and they often like to hide those bad things from public view. One of the very best ways to make sure our leaders stay on the straight and narrow is bringing those bad behaviors into the full light of public view.
This is what Assange, Wikileaks' curious leader, claims Wikileaks is trying to do. Personally, I don't think that's the case. I think Assange is in it for the publicity and is turning Wikileaks into his own notoriety engine. I think Wikileaks isn't on the side of the angels.
I think Wikileaks is trying to generate chaos for the sake of generating chaos.
Here's why.
If Wikileaks really wanted to expose wrong-doing, like Woodward and Bernstein did in 1972, they would have boiled down those 90,000 documents into a few pages that constituted some sort of smoking gun.
It would have been possible to expose wrongdoing without putting our troops, national security, confidential informers, and diplomatic efforts at risk. That's how real investigative journalism is done.
Instead, Assange did deals with major newspapers, shopped his story, dumped documents stolen by a love-starved intelligence analyst into the public pool, sat back, and waited to see how it would all turn out.
That's not exposing wrong-doing. That's fomenting chaos.
It's a shame, really, because the concept of what a Wikileaks could be is both fascinating and important. But there is a line between leaking anything, and leaking confidential national security information that can get people killed.
In that, I have to agree with Thiessen. If Wikileaks can't manage itself and can't control whether it's releasing dangerous information, then it needs to be controlled. In any instance where our national security is at risk, America needs to take action.
Practically, that's easier said than done. At the speed with which it's possible to mirror data (Can you say rsync? Sure, I knew you could!), it might be hard to chase down all the various mirrors and recover stolen information.
For that's what it is. Information was stolen and needs to be recovered. America's national interests need to be protected. If that means capturing Assange and effectively destroying Wikileaks, so be it.
Honestly, though, I wish this weren't the case. I wish Wikileaks had taken a slightly higher road and worked within the bounds of journalistic ethics. But since they're apparently willing to sacrifice the lives of American troops and the people who protect them, I agree with Thiessen.
I believe Wikileaks has gone too far. It's time to take the site down. If that requires the full might and power of the United States, so be it.

When I post articles like this, where I take America's side, we have some readers living outside the U.S. who tend to disagree. To them, I say this: you're willing to disagree, but if you do, please post your nation of origin. It'd be nice to know where you're coming from. Thanks.

I don't think it's illegal. The Strata Committee is usually empowered to act on behalf of the owners corporation (with specific exclusions). Application for a statutory appointment can be made by individual owners – even the Tribunal Member can just do it off their own bat if they think an owners corp is dysfunctional enough.
Individual owners can also challenge the appointment, but it would have to be on the grounds that it was unnecessary or that the original applicants were seeking some kind of material gain. Arguing that it was invalid because of an arcane point of law will get you nowhere.
Also, the Tribunal Member must have had good reason for allowing the appointment – they don't just hand them out like lollies.
This reply was modified 2 months, 2 weeks ago by Jimmy-T.
Thanks Jimmy, The interesting twist in our case is that the Secretary, Treasurer and Strata Manager went to the Directions Hearing on behalf of the SP however the secretary told the Member that they were happy with a compulsory SM – they just didn't want the Strata Manager who was standing beside them. They stuck the knife in and twisted it! The owners were never told there was an application against their SP so they had no voice in the matter. The SC did not have a meeting to discuss what their approach would be and I know some members did not agree to this approach.
Then weeks after the due date for the submission from these people to NCAT they lodged more paperwork. A bunch of notes with the owners names and unit numbers redacted. I do not believe for one minute there was any truth in these redacted papers however here we are in the 'house of rules' – NCAT – the member listened! How can this happen! Rules are not rules?
Hi, If I've read this 'right,' Mr JT's advice is right. Way I see it is, like, nothing is going to happen unless you get more involved? When you say the owners were never told, how many owners are you referring to. Plus, if you are an owner, that carries a natural entitlement, as it does with any owner. Could you perhaps ask a strata lawyer to be of assistance and help to clarify the issues, then you can call for a change in committee members, with yourself in charge of the accountability you are calling for?
My understanding is that a compulsory strata manager replaces the OC and SC – that is, takes on all functions. So yes, they can determine levies. But only for the period appointed. At the end of that period a general meeting is called and functions return to OC/SC.
Although I will add, that at the time of appointment the 'functions' appointed to the compulsory strata manager may be limited to a degree. You should find it all in the original NCAT ruling.
Hi g-g – what is SC ?
The law is clear that while the SM appointed by NCAT takes on the role of the OC, it says nothing about the OC (and, by extension, any SM compulsory appointed) having any ability to set levies. Only the owners can agree to that.
If your understanding is different, can you say what that understanding is based on?
Hi Newlsie is this the "secret" SM appointment which you discuss in another post?
Oh dear this has been labelled a coup, or as one owner always calls it, a coo.
The OP forgot to mention that they were the one who made the application to NCAT and included 2 deceased persons as supporting the application. The OP also forgot to mention they provided one version of the application to NCAT and another version to the owners. Unlike what the OP writes, the secretary never said the owners were neutral, it was NCAT which stated the Owners Corporation would be neutral. NCAT actually encouraged individual owners to participate in the matter if they wanted to.
The OP should really get their ducts in a row.
SC stands for Strata committee.
My information came from discussions with 3 strata managers and a laywer when I was enquiring about compulsory strata managers.
It was made clear that the ALL functions of the owners corporation MAY (and usually are) transferred to the compulsory SM.
My recollection is that the SSMA 2015 has a reference as well – which I do not have access to at the moment.
This is very irritating, arguing the same case across two topics.
And it's ducks, not ducts.
"This is very irritating, arguing the same case across two topics." Sorry.
"And it's ducks, not ducts." Actually in this case it really is "ducts". The owner is refusing access to a row of ducts adjacent to their apartment despite the need for urgent inspection and repairs to common property plumbing.
'Shackleton' you are wrong on a number of points. The topic is about a compulsory SM not ducks and ducts which you are also wrong about. You are wrong about NCAT stating the owners are 'neutral'. On behalf of all the owners and without consultation with anyone the secretary told the Senior Member the owners were neutral – whatever that means. I will drop her letter into your letterbox. This is my beef – how can any member of the SC make such a sweeping claim without asking the owners? This SC NEVER told the owners that an application had been lodged against them. I know that they don't have to but it is my opinion that they should have. Strata Committees should be more accountable and there should be consequences for bad / illegal decisions made by vexatious SC's. The very reason we lodged an application was because the SC of the last 18 months were terrible, in our opinion. NCAT obviously agreed because they granted our application.
OK, I'm shutting this down. You folks (Shackelton and Newlsie) need to accept whatever has been decided at NCAT, switch off your inner bush lawyer and maybe sit down and agree to disagree. Public bickering doesn't do this Forum any good and I'm guessing it's not helpful for your community, either.
I agree that the function of the owners corporation (or strata committee) were transferred to the compulsory SM, however, based on my reading, the OC doesn't have the power to set levies (they can call a meeting for owners to set them, which didn't happen), and therefore by extension, neither does the compulsory SM.
Would you be willing to give me the lawyer details you discussed this with, would be great to get advice and get this sorted (paid if I'm wrong, application to fair trading if I'm right).

Gas powered hot water pressure washers are primarily for use when electricity is unavailable. Gas powered hot water pressure washers are usually more powerful than electric models. They are more capable of delivering higher pressures up to and exceeding 5000 PSI, which is ideal for the toughest cleaning needs. Typically portable, gas power washers are available in skid mounted versions or with a variety of wheel kits. Some models available with diesel engines.
Gas powered hot water pressure washers are commonly found in industrial applications. They are preferred by trucking companies and contract cleaners and are almost exclusively found on trailer mounted applications. They should only be used in outdoor settings due to the carbon monoxide emissions.
The gas powered series are available in the more compact direct drive series, or a larger belt drive series; both are big on power and versatility. All models use Kerosene or Diesel to run the 12 V DC burner. The belt-drive models offer versatility, available in a skid unit, portable or truck mount. Up to 4.6 GPM @ 3500 PSI.
The 1200 Series is a beefy commercial unit that delivers serious on-site cleaning performance. All models have electric start, and use diesel or kerosene to fire the burner. Ideal for truck or trailer mounting, with 4.3 to 6.0 GPM @ 3000 to 4000 PSI.


Evan Dando headlines the Casbah on Saturday, June 17.
Some music loves last a lifetime, and so it is for me with Evan Dando and the Lemonheads. From the time I was a pre-teen, I was hooked to the moody, punky "Lick," then a fan through every iteration from major label releases to the jangly guitars and the indie-folk stuff -- even the covers Mr. Dando so often dismisses. I've had my chances to hang out with him several times over the years and to be concerned about various levels of inebriation through his well-documented drug use. Tonight, Evan Dando plays the Casbah in celebration of 14 years since his first solo release, "Baby I'm Bored." This is a deep love of a musician's life's work that I'm not alone in admiring, and there are still tickets available to catch him. Meanwhile, around town, Bad Suns play the Observatory, Pine Mountain Logs return to the Belly Up and Buckfast Superbee headline a show at Soda Bar. For a special one-time show, the Neighborhood is having a block party (celebrating 10 years as it turns out) with a performance by Talib Kweli in downtown.

If you're scouring the Internet looking for a hotel to stay in that's convenient to Kirtland Air Force Base, you've landed in the right place. Kirtland Air Force Base is located in the southeast end of Albuquerque, and covers 51, 558 acres of land—it's not easy to miss this one! It employs over 23,000 people, including more than 4,300 active duty and 1,000 Guard, plus 3,200 part-time Reserve personnel.
That being said, it's not surprising to think that many people come to Albuquerque to visit friends, family, and loved ones, so when you're heading Southwest, be sure to put these local attractions on your itinerary.
The Sandia Peak Aerial Tram takes you soaring above the city, through the Sandia Peaks. This is the world's longest aerial tram ride, and it takes passengers 2.7 miles to the peak of the Sandia Mountains, 10,000 feet in the air.

A new play will soon be arriving on the Great White Way. Following a sell-out off-Broadway run at Lincoln Center Theater last year, Oslo by J.T. Rogers will open at LCT's Broadway space, the Vivian Beaumont Theater, later this month.
Directed by Bartlett Sher (Fiddler on the Roof, South Pacific, Joe Turner's Come and Gone), Oslo focuses on the events of the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords between the Israelis and Palestinians. The play focuses on the personal stories and back-channel talks behind the historical event, which marked the first time the two nations formally recognized each other and committed themselves to negotiate a solution to their ongoing conflict. The accord, which was signed by leaders Yassar Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin, ultimately broke down, however, and the process laid out in the agreement was never completed.
'Oslo' opens on April 13 at the Lincoln Center Theater.
The play's off-Broadway debut was highly praised by critics. Ben Brantley of the New York Times described the "vivid and thoughtful" show as "crackling theater," while Marilyn Stasio of Variety noted it was "compulsively watchable."
"This is what we call drama, and it's what we live for," Stasio exclaimed in her review. "So, go, already - live!"
David Rooney of the Hollywood Reporter also offered praise for the new play. "This is a play alive with tension, intrigue, humor, bristling intelligence and emotional peaks that are subdued yet intensely moving," Rooney wrote, "which concludes unexpectedly on a poignant note of hope."
The Broadway production will retain its off-Broadway cast, which is led by such theatre veterans as Jefferson Mays (A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, I Am My Own Wife) and Jennifer Ehle (The Coast of Utopia). Rounding out the cast are Michael Aronov, Anthony Azizi, Adam Dannheisser, Daniel Jenkins, Dariush Kashani, Jeb Kreager, Christopher McHale, Daniel Oreskes, Angela Pierce, Henny Russell, Joseph Siravo, and T. Ryder Smith.
Oslo also features set design by Michael Yeargan, costumes by Catherine Zuber, lights by Donald Holder, and sound by Peter John Still.
Playwright Rogers' previous work includes Blood and Gifts at Lincoln Center, The Overwhelming (National Theatre, UK), and Madagascar (Melbourne Theatre Company). He received an Olivier Award nomination as one of the playwrights of The Great Game: Afghanistan at the Tricycle Theatre in London.
Oslo will begin previews at the Vivian Beaumont Theater on March 23, prior to an official opening on April 13. Oslo tickets can be purchased directly through the box office.

Book Reviews: India and Pakistan
Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/acmpix/12414927173/in/photolist
February 26, 2018: This year's crop includes three masterful books about India. Shivshankar Menon, known to many of our readers as one of the leading lights of Indian foreign policy, has written a slim volume, Choices, about key points where India was forced, however reluctantly, to choose between two incompatible policy paths. This is a problem it will confront more frequently as its power expands. Vinay Sitapati's Half Lion sketches the life of Narasimha Rao, whom the author regards as one of the unsung heroes of recent Indian history. Milan Vaishnav has brought political science to life with When Crime Pays, about the relationship between money and muscle in Indian politics. On the Pakistan side, Owen Sirrs has tried to demystify the ISI – Inter Services Intelligence Directorate. And Daniel Haines' Rivers Divided looks at the Indus Waters Treaty – the most durable accord between India and Pakistan – from the perspective of the negotiating constraints on both sides.

Review of "India at the Global High Table"
Kishan Rana's review of our India at the Global High Table appeared in the October 2016 issue of The Book Review, New Delhi. The book was published in India by HarperCollins in July 2016, and in Washington by Brookings Institution Press in April 2016. Read the review here. A short review from the September issue of Foreign Affairs appears here.
Book Reviews: South Asia
from flickr, www.flickr.com/photos/rishibando/7666817406/in/photolist
September 21, 2016: Five interesting additions to the South Asia literature this year. Robert Crews' Afghan Modern depicts Afghanistan as a nation formed by intense interaction with global powers – an arresting thesis, though he left out some important counterweights. A.S. Dulat, Indian intelligence chief with deep experience in Kashmir, gave us Kashmir: The Vajpayee Years, an irreverent and surprisingly sensible account whose punch line was that talking to everyone is the only way out of today's impasse. Mark Salter's To End a Civil War goes deeply into Norway's effort to resolve Sri Lanka's two-decade ethnic conflict. Somini Sengupta, a New York Times reporter who spent years in India, provides an extraordinary picture of the "New India." And Alex Vatanka's Iran and Pakistan is, surprisingly, the first serious book I have seen on that important relationship.
Read my reviews of all five books here.
India at the Global High Table: Remarks at Richmond
Photo: www.brookings.edu/research/books/2016/india-at-the-global-high-table
May 10, 2016: Introducing India at the Global High Table at the Richmond World Affairs Council, we discussed emerging India's international role, focusing on the main themes of its foreign policy, the competing visions of India's role in the world, and some examples of India's negotiating Style. Books are available at Brookings (http://www.brookings.edu/research/books/2016/india-at-the-global-high-table), at Amazon, and in book stores. The text of our remarks follows:
Good evening. It's a great pleasure for my wife and me to come here to Richmond to talk with you about India and the book we've written about the drivers of its foreign policy and diplomatic practices. The two of us have spent a good deal of time as State Department officials working in India and dealing in Washington with Indian Read more
India at the Global High Table
December 21, 2015: The book that we have been working on for three years is going to be published by
Brookings Institution Press in the spring of 2016! We've looked at India's emerging role, global vision, and negotiating style. Read the longer description in the Brookings Press's preview of "coming attractions." For those who read our earlier book, How Pakistan Negotiates with the United States, the subject matter is similar, but the story it tells is quite different.
We wish all our friends and colleagues a joyful holiday season, and South Asia Hand looks forward to a new year of news – hopefully more of the good kind.
Book Reviews – India, Pakistan, China, Sri Lanka
from https://www.flickr.com/photos/rishibando/7682708246/in/photolist
This year's publications include five noteworthy books on South Asia. Sanjaya Baru's The Accidental Prime Minister paints a close-up portrait of Manmohan Singh and Diego Maiorano's Autumn of the Matriarch dissects the decline of Nehru's congress and the rise of a more de-institutionalized party in the last years of Indira Gandhi – interesting contrasts to today's Modi government. Bidisha Biswas takes a close look at how India has tackled internal conflicts in Managing Conflicts in India. Andrew Small's The China-Pakistan Axis is the first serious study of this fascinating relationship. And Samanth Subramanian's This Divided Island is an intimate look at Sri Lanka's war and its aftermath, told in unforgettable vignettes.

Book Reviews: Lashkar-e-Taiba; Indian Military History
Photo by Todd Huffman, http://www.flickr.com/photos/oddwick/3449534019/sizes/m/in/photostream/.
Two very different, but quite compelling, books on the military problems of the region: Stephen Tankel's Storming the World Stage traces the history of Lashkar-e-Taiba and its complex relationship with the Pakistan army, concluding that this is unlikely to change; and Srinath Raghavan's War and Peace in Modern India recounts in elegant detail the diplomatic and military history of the conflicts that peppered the first fifteen years of India's independence.
Read both – but to get more of the flavor of them, read the review by Teresita Schaffer.

Microsoft Launches Windows 365 New Cloud PC Service
6 months ago Yasir Zeb
Microsoft launched Windows 365 at the start of the Inspire conference. It is now clear what the group has been working on in terms of "cloud PC" and online desktop service. However, the new Windows is not intended for end-users.
Just a few weeks ago we reported that Microsoft was making headway in terms of Windows Cloud PCs. At that time it was said that the group had its new hybrid operating system, which was developed under the name "Project Deschutes", now ready. Windows 365 has now been officially presented, and the offer itself will be available from August 2nd. Microsoft showed how hybrid work should work from now on – with Windows 365, streamed to every possible device.
SaaS, OS in the cloud
"With Windows 365 we are creating a new category: the cloud PC," says Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO of Microsoft, at the launch of the Inspire. "Just as the applications came to the cloud through Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), we are now bringing the operating system to the cloud. This gives companies more flexibility and a secure way to empower their workforce, regardless of their location to be more productive and better connected."
Behind Windows 365?
The new service called Windows 365 is basically nothing more than a thoroughly optimized remote desktop access to a virtual machine with Windows 10. The Microsoft solution should be particularly fast and can be adapted to individual needs. Companies of all sizes have the option of getting Windows 10 or later Windows 11 directly from the cloud, including apps, data, and settings.
Obtaining from the cloud means that all data remains in the cloud and is not synchronized. You need constant internet access. You also have access via the Windows 365 web portal. According to Microsoft, users can then choose via the portal whether they want to access their cloud PC via the browser, macOS, Android or the remote desktop client (MSRDC). This also makes it clear that Windows 365 is not limited to the classic "Windows PC".
You are platform-independent. In the first information on the cloud PC, however, there are no details of the minimum requirements that must be met for the executing hardware.
Change device and continue from where you left
The Windows experience is always consistent, writes Microsoft in the announcement – regardless of the device. You can continue exactly where you left off, because the state of the cloud PC remains the same, even if you change the device. The advantage is that the new Windows 365 runs completely without any self-hosted infrastructure in the company. It is offered as Windows 365 Business and Windows 365 Enterprise and, like other Microsoft license services, is billed by user and month.
The prices for the licenses are based on the area of application and the required performance. With Windows 365, the performance of the VM makes the biggest price difference. It starts with a virtual machine with 1 vCPU core, 2 GB RAM, and 64 GB storage space. In several steps, it then goes up to 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, and 512 GB memory. The performance is therefore independent of the end device that is used. Some of it had already leaked in advance and has now been confirmed. The group has already published a good overview in the tech community. The cloud PC is immediately switched on and ready for use.
Licenses Required for using Cloud PC/Windows 365:
Windows Pro Endpoint users: Windows 10 E3 + EMS1 E3 or Microsoft 365 F3 / E3 / E5 / BP
Non-Windows Pro Endpoint users: Windows VDA E3 + EMS1 E3 or Microsoft 365 F3 / E3 / F5 / BP
The individual license prices have not yet been named. If you want to use the cloud PC with Windows 365 in your company, you can start using it from August 2nd. Azure with Virtual Network is mentioned as a prerequisite. Microsoft recommends administration via Azure Virtual Desktop.

Q: Accessing intel graphics card registers through I/O space and MMIO in UEFI I am trying to write a code sequence, that will switch my intel graphics card into the legacy VGA mode after a call to Exitbootservices() in my uefi nasm bootloader. In order to do that I am to change some values in my graphics card's registers. My graphics card supports two ways of accessing its registers - through MMIO and through I/O space via a pair of I/O registers called MMIO_ADDRESS and MMIO_DATA. Base address for the MMIO and base port for the I/O access are obtained through the PCI configuration space registers. I successfully got both of the values from the PCI configuration space. Weirdly, trying to read any register value through the MMIO(MMIO_BAR + reg_offset) or through the pair of I/O registers always returns zero. Trying to write to any of the device's registers with bot ways, listed above, also results in nothing. I would like to know, what I miss, because clearly I am missing something. My guess is that, the graphics card register access may be locked by some graphics card feature. By the way, my intel graphics card is operated by the linux i915 driver. I validated MMIO BAR and I/O port base multiple times by: using lspci -vvv in Linux, by calling the pci util in the UEFI shell and by simply reading the values from the pci configuration space with my bootloader.
This is the code I have so far. I call get_mmap(), then I call exitbootservices(). After that I change the caching policy for the VGA framebuffer by changing values in the fixed-range MTRRs. After that I put some pixels on the screen(I chechked the buffer address via GOP in another bootloader) to see that PC is not stalled after a call to exitbootservices(). After that I call a function, that should disable all current display modes of my intel graphics card. Then I put more pixels on the screen to see that computer is not stalled, though, pixels should not be visible and the first sequence of pixels, I printed earlier, is expected to disappear after I alter the graphics card's register values. After that I call a sequence of functions, that put a VGA compatible graphics card into the VGA 13h mode(256 colors, 320x200)(confirmed to work on real hardware in 16-bit real-mode bootloader).
My code(jd9999_hdr_macro is an implementation of the UEFI PE header):
