DCG suspends dividends until further notice amid Genesis woes
Digital Currency Group, one of the largest companies in the crypto industry, has suspended dividends until further notice. The company has said that the current market conditions necessitated the decision.
DCG suspends dividends
DCG sent out a letter to shareholders saying that the company was focused on strengthening its balance sheet by lowering expenses to sustain liquidity. One of the ways that the company planned to achieve this is by suspending dividends.
"DCG has been focused on strengthening our balance sheet by reducing operating expenses and preserving liquidity. As such, we have made the decision to suspend DCG's quarterly dividend distribution until further notice," the company said. DCG is also considering selling some assets in its portfolio.
DCG affected by Genesis woes
DCG owns several crypto companies, including the troubled crypto lending platform Genesis Global Trading. Genesis halted withdrawals for its lending unit shortly after FTX's bankruptcy. It is reported that the platform owes customers over $3 billion.
On November 10, 2022, Genesis revealed its exposure to FTX, with around $175 million stuck on the exchange. This resulted in DCG injecting $140 million into Genesis to solve the company's liquidity issues. However, the equity infusion failed to help Genesis sustain its operations.
Genesis's financial woes prompted Cameron Winklevoss, a co-founder of the Gemini cryptocurrency exchange, to urge the DCG board to remove Barry Silbert as the CEO of the company. In an open letter to the board of the company, Winklevoss said that Silbert and other key personnel at the company made misleading statements to the users of Gemini Earn.
Genesis owes Gemini Earn users around $900 million. Gemini lent funds deposited to Gemini Earn to Genesis as part of this program, allowing users to receive annual returns of up to 7.4%. After Genesis halted withdrawals, the over 340,000 Gemini Earn users that had invested in the product could not access their funds.
Winklevoss also said that DCG owes $1.675 billion to Genesis, but Silbert has denied these claims. The Gemini co-founder added that the woes facing Genesis started after the collapse of Three Arrows Capital, a bankrupt crypto hedge fund to which Genesis lent money despite low-quality collateral.
The woes facing Genesis seem far from over, as the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Genesis and Gemini over the Earn program. According to the regulatory body, Gemini Earn was an unregistered security. Tyler Winklevoss, Gemini's other co-founder, slammed the SEC, saying it had been in talks with the commission for months regarding the product.
DCG also owns Grayscale, which is the largest digital asset manager. Grayscale is suing the SEC over the commission's failure to approve the company's spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). Grayscale plans to convert the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into a spot Bitcoin ETF, but the SEC failed to approve the application. The SEC has turned down all applications for a spot Bitcoin ETF amid price manipulation concerns.

Q: Python ctypes writing data to be read by C executable I'm trying to learn how to use the Python ctypes library to write data to a file that can easily be read by C executables. In the little test case that I've put together, I'm running into some problems with reading/writing character arrays.
At the moment, I have three source files. write_struct.py creates a simple struct with two
entries, an integer value called git and a character array called command, then writes the struct to a file using ctypes.fwrite. read_struct.c and read_struct.h compile into an executable that internally defines an identical struct to the one in write_struct.py, then reads in the data written by the python script and prints it out.
At the moment, the following values are assigned in the python file (not literally in the manner shown below, scroll down to see the actual code):
git = 1
command = 'cp file1 file2'

And when run, the C executable prints the following:
git: 1
command:

I realize that the problem is almost certainly in how the command variable is being assigned in the python script. I have read that c_char_p() (the function I'm currently using to initialize the data in that variable) does not create a pointer to mutable memory, and create_string_buffer() should be used instead, however I'm not sure about how this works with either adding that data to a struct, or writing it to a file. I guess I'm also confused about how writing pointers/their data to a file works in the first place. What is the best way to go about doing this?
Thanks in advance to anyone that is able to help!!
The code of my three files is below for reference:
write_struct.py:
"""
write_struct.py
"""

from ctypes import *

libc = cdll.LoadLibrary("libc.so.6")

class DataStruct(Structure):
    _fields_ = [("git", c_int),
                ("command", c_char_p)
                ]

def main():
    pydata = DataStruct(1, c_char_p("cp file1 file2"))

    libc.fopen.argtypes = c_char_p, c_char_p
    libc.fopen.restype = c_void_p

    libc.fwrite = libc.fwrite

    f = libc.fopen("stored_data", "wb")
    libc.fwrite(byref(pydata), sizeof(pydata), 1, f)
    libc.fclose(f)

    printf("git: %i\n", cdata->git);
    printf("command:");
    printf("%s\n", cdata->command);
    fclose(fp);
  } else {
    printf("Could not open file\n");
    exit(1);
  }
  return 0;
}

};

A: You can write binary data directly with Python. ctypes can be used to create the structure and supports bit fields and unions, or for simple structures the struct module can be used.
from ctypes import *

class DataStruct(Structure):
    _fields_ = [("git", c_int),
                ("command", c_char * 40)] # You want array here, not pointer

pydata = DataStruct(1,b'cp file1 file2')  # byte string for initialization.
with open('stored_data','wb') as f:       # write file in binary mode
    f.write(pydata)                       # ctypes support conversion to bytes

import struct

# See struct docs for formatting codes
# i = int (native-endian.  Use <i to force little-endian, >i for big-endian)
# 40s = char[40] (zero-padded if initializer is shorter)
pydata = struct.pack('i40s',1,b'cp file1 file2')
with open('stored_data2','wb') as f:
    f.write(pydata)

The Janapar Trail leads hikers through Armenia and the Mountainous Republic of Artsakh (formerly known as Nagorno-Karabakh).
Welcome to the Janapar Trail project. The Janapar Trail is a 500km (311 mile) hiking trail taking you past high mountains, over hills and through valleys and canyons, discovering many ancient monasteries and experiencing unbelievable hospitality. Much of the trail is green and forested, and much of it is pristine. Few travelers make it to many of the remote areas the trail takes you to, and you'll likely have the trail to yourself much of the time, or share it with a shepherd, as you are one of the first hikers to discover this area rich in history, culture and nature.
2017 marks the 10th anniversary of the marking of the Janapar Trail. The original trail traversed most of the Mountainous Republic of Artsakh, and over time extended into Armenia. As of 2017 the Janapar Trail is a 311 mile (500km) trail that stretches from Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, past Stepanakert, the capital of Artsakh (formerly Karabakh), to the town of Hadrut in southern Artsakh. About 200 miles of the trail are in Armenia, with the remainder in Artsakh. Please note that only some of the trail has trail markings, the rest is hiked by following the GPS tracks on smartphones and using maps, while efforts to mark the remainder are ongoing.
The Janapar Trail has been mentioned in the New York Times, Huffington Post, Lonely Planet, Atlas Obscura, Yerevan Magazine, Nouvelle d'Arménie, and many other publications.

All Black Will Jordan has been named World Rugby's Breakthrough Player of the Year.
The 23-year-old outside back has pipped Australia's Andrew Kellaway, Wales' Louis Rees-Zammit and England's Marcus Smith for the prestigious award, which has been previously picked up by the likes of Romain Ntamack, Rieko Ioane and Maro Itoje.
While Jordan made his test debut in 2020, no awards were dished out last year due to the significantly affected international calendar which saw a huge disparity in the number of games played by each nation.

While the likes of England and Wales managed to get through almost a full roster of games, New Zealand and Australia notched up just six apiece and South Africa didn't play a single match.
Jordan burst onto the scene for the All Blacks last season when he made his first significant appearance off the bench in the side's 38-0 win over Argentina, with the reserve winger scoring two opportunistic tries late in the match to help his side to a comfortable victory.

This year, Jordan has maintained his hot run of scoring, grabbing five tries in the All Blacks' opening fixture against Tonga, and touching down a further 10 times throughout the year.
While Jordan typically plays his rugby at fullback for the Crusaders, it's on the right wing where's weaved his magic for the All Blacks, eventually taking over as the first-choice in the No 14 jersey during the season.
The All Blacks released a video on their social media accounts of Jordan being awarded the Breakthrough Player of the Year by teammates Beauden Barrett and Ioane – although the young outside back didn't know at the time what was happening.
"Sorry, can I just get a brief of what we're actually doing here?" Jordan asked when Barrett questioned the youngster how he found his first full season of test rugby.

"It means a lot to win this, it's been an exciting year for me and the team as well," Jordan said, when Ioane handed over the award. "I was involved with the team a little last year but it's nice to be on the field a little more this year. Thanks to the coach for the opportunity."

David de Gea and Louis van Gaal not on speaking terms – report
David de Gea and Louis van Gaal have suffered a complete breakdown in their relationship and haven't spoke to each other in months, if reports from Spain are to be believed.
AS report De Gea is unhappy with van Gaal after the Manchester United manager decided against giving him individual praise for his performances earlier this month.
Instead, van Gaal brushed away discussion about the Spaniard's performances and insisted that it was a goalkeeper's job to "hold balls".
"I think he doesn't save many points because he's my goalkeeper – his obligation is to hold balls," van Gaal said.
"You are thinking that is an exception.
"For other goalkeepers it's not like that."
The Dutchman typically does not give individual praise to his players as it is not part of his management style but De Gea has without doubt been Man United's most important player so far this season.
AS' story contradicts comments earlier this month from De Gea's agent, Jorge Mendes, who said he was negotiating a new deal with United amid strong interest from Real Madrid.
Recent reports from the Daily Mail, which also suggest De Gea is in fact closing in on a new contract, have added to the confusion.
According to the story, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed he is happy with Iker Casillas and Keylor Navas as his current goalkeeping options and that a move for De Gea is now not a priority.
Contrasting reports are two a penny when it comes to Man United and transfer rumours so it should come as no surprise to see the same happening in the press when covering De Gea's future.
However, with De Gea's current contract expiring in 2016, United fans are becoming increasingly concerned about where his future lies.

So, you have your film, and now it's time to post. Can't get the sound done? Costs to much you say? Well, there are some ways around that, if you know how to ask nicely. Some tips on getting the sound quality you need. Remember, sound can make the difference in a movie. BW looked like crap, and what did Artisan put the money into? You got it.
Indie Financing: Is that Sucking Sound the Internet?
When you are out trying to drum up financing, are you running into stumbling blocks you wouldn't imagine in a bull market like today? Guess what: those great tech stocks are being funded at your expense. We show you how the boom stock market is making funding harder than ever...and what you can do about it.

Is there such a thing as an ultra-low budget feature film? You bet! And they are getting more frequent, particularly with the recent success of Blair Witch and others of recent years. There are some fine points, though...let us give you our two cents on how to make it happen.
Really, It's A Great Script!
So, we all have a story to tell. But as producers, where do we begin? Along with the How The Biz Works above, we bring you another of Alex Epstein's works, a Q&A on screenwriting.

Then again, maybe it is, but maybe we'd pay to see it. Either way, learn how to do it right.
No matter what the subject matter of a film, there is always room for some well-deserved comedy. In the bleakest of moments, a little break can be just what the doctor ordered. A great example is the infamous "Heeeeeere's Johnny" joke by Jack Nicholson in The Shining. You may not consider yourself funny, but it can be a learned talent. Unless of course, you write sitcoms, in which case you are genetically incapable. But that's for another article.

Are Indie Films a Business?
Los Angeles Magazine ran an article about the "death of independent filmmaking" in the September issue. It discusses some comments by various members of the indie community.

Columbia University to spend $5.7 million in taxpayer funds on climate change games
The website features fake voicemails of people dying because of climate change.
'If the tsunami doesn't get us, the heat might,' a man says in a voicemail to his mother.
'I'm just calling to say I love you and I miss you and it might be the last time you hear my voice. Bye.'
Kat Timpf | Analyst, Fox News
Monday, May 26, 2014 9:31 AM
Columbia University has received millions in taxpayer funds to create games depicting horrible scenarios that could come about as a result of climate change, including a series of mock voicemails of people screaming, gasping for air and being swept away by waves.
"If the tsunami doesn't get us, the heat might," a man says in a voicemail to his mother set in 2065. "I'm just calling to say I love you and I miss you and it might be the last time you hear my voice. Bye."
Other callers include a man screaming as he is suddenly swallowed up by a giant tsunami and a woman desperately gasping for air because she is "Out of CO2 credits."
The National Science Foundation (NSF) issued Columbia a $5.7 million grant for its PoLAR Climate Change Education project to use games to "engage adult learners and inform public understanding and response to climate change."
"Games and game-like approaches motivate exploration and learning of complex material," the grant description states.
The website featuring the fake voicemails, called Future Coast, was created in response to these guidelines.
Other predictions foretold in the voicemails include that all of the glaciers in the Sierra Nevada will be gone by 2038, and that most of the coasts and beaches will "have disappeared" by 2059.
In a voicemails set in 2020, a frustrated man tells his mother he can't afford to attend Thanksgiving dinner because a family member spent all of his money on hurricane simulation booths which are now useless because "everyone has been in a gosh darn hurricane now."
Columbia received the grant in September of 2012, and it expires in August 2017.
Neither Future Coast nor NSF responded to requests for comment from Campus Reform in time for publication.

Home for the Holidays (review)
Wed Nov 24 1999, 12:56am | comments off
It's All Relative
Family. If you're like most people, that small word resonates with a slew of conflicting sentiments: devotion and frustration, comfort and aggita — all those love/hate emotions. You can't wait to get home when you're on your way, sometimes, and you can't wait to leave once you get there.
Beautifully written by W.D. Richter and directed with a sure hand by Jodie Foster (who appears as an actor in Contact, The Silence of the Lambs), Home for the Holidays wraps all those contradictory feelings up and serves them for Thanksgiving dinner. Perhaps the most realistic holiday movie I've ever seen, this oddly charming, poignant, and blackly funny film is a treasure not to be missed.
Claudia Larson (Holly Hunter: A Life Less Ordinary) is not having a great day. On the same day she is fired without warning from her job as a restorer of paintings, she has to face a pre-Thanksgiving plane trip to her childhood home — and she's afraid of flying. Her teenage daughter, Kitt (Claire Danes: Les Misérables, The Rainmaker), staying behind to spend the holiday with a girlfriend, drops a bomb as she leaves Mom at the airport: She's gonna have sex with her boyfriend, okay?
One perilous journey later, Claudia is faced with her parents: Adele (Anne Bancroft: G.I. Jane) and Henry (Charles Durning). Mom's a bit manic and still tends to treat Claudia like a three-year-old (like barging in on Claudia in the bathroom) and Dad, newly retired, is driving his wife even crazier. Thankfully, her brother and confidante Tommy (Robert Downey Jr.: Bowfinger, U.S. Marshals) turns up unexpectedly, so Claudia is saved her from dealing with the 'rents on her own. That would have been too much, considering that she also has to spend the holiday with her uptight sister Joanne (Cynthia Stevenson), Joanne's uptight husband Walter (Steve Guttenberg), their bratty kids, and dotty Aunt Gladys (Geraldine Chaplin).
The high drama of merely being a member of a family is what carries Home for the Holidays, not any sitcomish plot shenanigans. Thanksgiving day is about "torture," Claudia and Tommy agree — each says, at one point, "I'm not gonna make it." This is a story about family secrets revealed over the dinner table, about feeling like an alien within your own family, about adult kids suddenly realizing that their parents are getting old, and about the ordinary things that lifelong memories are made of. But it's the tiny, almost painfully real details in Home for the Holidays that make this an unforgettable little film. The almost loving bickering of Claudia's parents — grating on Claudia but obviously comfortable to Adele and Henry; how Claudia can't stand being at home yet is upset to be out of the loop, as when she learns that Dad is on some new medication she hasn't heard about; the awkward reunions between old school friends Claudia runs into at home — these are the things that make me feel like someone's been peeking in on my own family, my own life.
The thoroughly winning cast makes Home for the Holidays feel comfortable and familiar, too. Holly Hunter (not usually a favorite of mine) and Robert Downey Jr. (whom I always find fascinating to watch) have a chemistry you don't see often onscreen — that of close and loving siblings — that makes you wish they were your own relatives. Dylan McDermott as Tommy's friend Leo proves that he has comic chops that haven't been put to good use often enough. And David Strathairn (Simon Birch, L.A. Confidential) has a touching cameo as an old friend of Claudia's, whom Tommy calls "the saddest sack in the universe."
Stuck in airport traffic in her parents' car, Claudia exchanges a sympathetic glance with a man in the car next to them, also obviously beginning a trying weekend with his parents. Both these adult kids share the same emotion — love tinged with resignation — that fills all of Home for the Holidays. It's maybe one of the most genuine emotions of all: loving the people we love in spite of ourselves. And this is a wonderful tribute to it.

Q: Does breezy fully replace bzr, in msys2 The title tells it all:
Does breezy fully replace bzr, at least in msys2?
E.g., by aliasing.
I found little info on this:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/80740

A: Yes, Breezy is a full replacement for Bazaar. It's derived from the Bazaar codebase, and compatible with the Bazaar command-line interface.
There are a large number of changes to the internal API, but unless you use third-party plugins or use scripts that use the bzrlib API, that should not be relevant to you.
We've also dropped support for a number of older platforms (e.g. Windows '95 and '98). I don't think msys2 was ever explicitly supported as a platform, but we're happy to help fix any issues you may run into. See https://www.breezy-vcs.org/pages/support.html for ways to reach out to us.

These historic primates lived within the Arctic Circle
The Arctic Circle hasn't at all times been so, effectively, arctic. About 52 million years in the past, throughout the early Eocene Epoch, it was nonetheless principally darkish for half the yr like it's in the present day, but it surely was fairly a bit hotter, extra humid. The Arctic of years previous had a boreal forest ecosystem related to what's seen in Canada and components of Russia in the present day. It was even dwelling to many early Cenozoic period vertebrates, together with historic crocodiles and camels.
It was additionally dwelling to at the very least two near-primate sister species, ignacius mckennai and I. dawsonae. Scientists have discovered new specimens which are the oldest near-primate stays which were discovered north of the Arctic Circle so far. The specimens and what we may study from them are described in a examine printed January 25 within the journal PLOS ONE.
[Related: Adolescent chimpanzees might be less impulsive than human teens.]
"No primate relative has ever been discovered at such excessive latitudes," examine co-author Kristen Miller, a doctoral pupil with the College of Kansas' Biodiversity Institute and Pure Historical past Museum, stated in an announcement. "They're extra normally discovered across the equator in tropical areas."
A course of known as phylogenetic evaluation, which makes use of branching diagrams to point out the evolutionary historical past and relationships of a species, helped the staff to determine how the fossils from these newly discovered species had been associated to these present in modern-day mid-latitude areas in North America.
The specimens had been discovered on Ellesmere Island in Nunavut, Canada, close to the northwest coast of Greenland. They had been present in sediment that dates again to the hotter Eocene, and finding out this time interval may foretell how Earth's ecosystems will fare in coming years attributable to local weather change.
In accordance with Miller, each species are descended from a standard northbound ancestor who possessed a spirit "to boldly go the place no primate has gone earlier than."
The extreme durations of darkness of the Arctic Circle might have triggered each of those species to evolve a stunning trait in comparison with their different primate kin: extra strong enamel and jaws. The staff believes that it was far more tough to seek out meals throughout the dim winter months. The Arctic primate kin possible needed to eat more durable more durable materials like nuts and seeds, versus softer snacks like fruit, which may have impacted their distinctive dentistry.
"Lots of what we do in paleontology is take a look at enamel—they protect one of the best," stated Miller. "Their enamel are simply tremendous bizarre in comparison with their closest kin. So, what I have been doing the previous couple of years is making an attempt to grasp what they had been consuming, and in the event that they had been consuming totally different supplies than their middle-latitude counterparts."

The closest kin of those species had been possible a gaggle of primates known as plesiadapiforms, which had been discovered additional to the south throughout this time interval. The northern primates had been greater than the southern ones, however all of them seem like round rodent measurement.
"Some plesiadapiforms from the midlatitudes of North America are actually, actually tiny," stated Miller. "After all, none of those species are associated to squirrels, however I feel that is the closest critter that we now have that helps us visualize what they could have been like. They had been almost certainly very arboreal—so, residing within the bushes more often than not."
The staff believes that among the variations that Arctic near-primate species took throughout one other interval of world warming demonstrates how some animals may evolve new traits–classes that animals could possibly be present process attributable to local weather change in the present day.
"I feel in all probability what it says is [that] Primates' vary may broaden with local weather change or transfer at the very least towards the poles moderately than the equator," stated Miller. "Life begins to get too sizzling there, maybe we'll have a whole lot of taxa transferring north and south, moderately than the extraordinary biodiversity we see on the equator in the present day."

Cavaliers vs. Warriors Game Recap: Smith's 27 Not Enough
By Andrew Salmi
(Oakland, CA) – Although they kept up with the Golden State Warriors for most of the game, the Cleveland Cavaliers simply ran out of gas late in the fourth quarter as the Warriors defeated the Cavs 112-94 on Friday night at Oracle Arena.
Warriors guard tandem Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, also known as the "Splash Brothers", were a menace to the Cavs the entire game. Thompson led the Warriors in scoring with 24 points (20 points in the first half) while Curry had a double-double with 23 points and 10 assists. Despite an inadvertent elbow to the forehead from J.R. Smith in the third quarter, Thompson was able to return to the game midway through the fourth quarter.
"I knew I was going to get stitched up pretty quick, but I had faith in our guys to do their thing and hold the lead," said Klay Thompson in his post-game interview with ESPN. "It was a great team effort. We just gotta give credit to the Bay Area fans. They're great and they come out every night."
Under Golden State head coach Steve Kerr's fast-paced offense, the Cavs were embarrassingly outscored by 36-3 on fast break points by the Warriors.
For the NBA-best 29-5 Warriors, small forward Draymond Green came very close to a second triple-double in only a span of a week as he tallied 10 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists to go along with three blocks and one steal. In the four games the Warriors have played so far in 2015, Green has put up a very impressive stat line across the board, as he's averaged 11.3 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, 2.3 blocks and two assists per game.
"He's a smart basketball player, understands the game, wants to win and knows how to win," said Green's teammate Andre Iguodala. "That's really something you can't measure. He's just playing great basketball."
Cleveland got off to a hot start in the first quarter, as they led by as many as six points on separate occasions to take a 32-30 lead into the second quarter.
After they trailed the Warriors 60-54 at halftime, the short-handed Cavs were able to keep the Warriors from pulling away as they took a 66-64 lead on a Kyrie Irving 18-foot jumper with 6:39 remaining in the third quarter. Irving finished the game with 23 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals.
However, things went quickly went very sour for the Cavs late in the fourth quarter. When Tristan Thompson scored a basket to cut the Warriors' lead to 93-88 with 5:52 remaining in the game, the Cavs went ice-cold from the field and only made one shot the rest of the game.
In only his second game for the Cavs, Smith led all scorers with 27 points on 11 of 23 shooting from the field. For the 20th time this season, Kevin Love produced a double-double with 17 points and 14 rebounds. However, Love has struggled in his last three games from behind the arc, as he has managed to drain just two three pointers out of 11 attempts in that span.
"There's no reason to fall into a rut or a hole," said Love on the Cavs' recent play. "I mean, we're going to be better."
Timofey Mozgov, who made his Cavs debut Friday night, came off the bench for Cleveland and in 27 minutes he scored nine points, grabbed eight rebounds and had the Cavs' only blocked shot of the night.
With the loss, the Cavs are now 2-8 in their last 10 games as they played the first game of their five-game West Coast road trip. Inactive for his seventh straight game with left knee and back strains, LeBron James was surely missed as the Cavs fell to 1-7 on the season when he is not in the lineup.
On Sunday night, the Cavaliers (19-18) will look to end their four-game losing streak as they will travel to play the Sacramento Kings (15-21) at Sleep Train Arena. The game is scheduled to tip off shortly after 9:00 pm ET and will be shown nationally on NBATV.

In order to improve vehicle safety and reduce carbon emission, press hardening is increasingly being used to produce light sheet metal parts with high strength. In the press hardening process, a sheet metal is heated up in a furnace and kept at 930 ∘C until a fully homogenous austenite phase content is reached. The blank is then transferred to the die position and sequentially formed and quenched in the closed tool until a martensitic state is obtained . The commonly used sheet metal material in the press hardening is 22MnB5 steel, which produces a fully martensitic microstructure after press hardening when quenched in cooled tools. The press hardening process takes advantage of excellent formability of steels at elevated temperature and causes small springback and a remarkable high strength-to-weight ratio to the finished parts. However, the hot forming process requires stamping tools that can endure cyclic loadings and dramatic temperature changes. The relative motion between the austenitised metal sheet and the press hardening tools leads to wear during the forming process. van der Heide and Schipper  stated that sliding wear is the dominant wear process in the forming process, in which abrasive wear, adhesive wear, thermal fatigue, and corrosive wear play a role during the entire service life of the tools. Furthermore, oxidation and reactions between the oxide layers as well as the coatings on the blanks and tools increase the complexity of the wear mechanisms. Wear strongly influences not only the performance and quality of the produced parts but also the overall productivity of press hardening in particular and thermomechanical forming in general.
A variety of papers have contributed to the fundamental investigation of the wear in press hardening conditions. The fundamental studies focus on tribological behaviour using laboratory tests mimicking the conditions of the press hardening process. Hardell and Prakash  studied the friction and wear behaviours between boron steels and tool steels from 40 ∘C to 800 ∘C through a reciprocating test. In this study, the tribological tests were conducted with plasma nitrided and untreated tool steel pins sliding repeatedly on Al-Si coated boron steel discs at elevated temperatures. The results have shown that friction decreased with increasing temperature whereas wear of the tool steel increased with temperature. Al-Si coated steel shows a significantly low wear rate at 800 ∘C due to morphological changes. Mozgovoy et al.  have studied the tribological behaviour of an uncoated contact pair through reciprocating tests with more test temperatures in the range from 40 ∘C to 800 ∘C. The results have shown that the formation of compacted wear debris layers on the surfaces was a main reason when the friction and the wear rate decreased at high temperatures. Hernandez et al.  has studied the wear mechanisms at elevated temperatures with a High Temperature Continuous Abrasion Tester. Microploughing and microfatigue were the main wear mechanisms of the used tool steel and the wear rate kept relatively stable from room temperature to 400 ∘C. At 500 ∘C and 600 ∘C, as the tool steel became softer, the embedded wear particles increased and penetrated deeper on the tool surface. Furthermore, some of the wear particles were fractured due to the shearing force at the outermost surface and then further cut the tool surface, which increased the wear rate. At temperatures above 600 ∘C, the tribolayer consisting of iron oxide and small wear particles was found but it did not reduce the wear rate because the thickness of this layer was negligible compared to the thickness of the plastically deformed layer caused by abrasive particles. Engineers need approaches for predicting tool wear that provides the possibility of extending the tool service life through adjustment of the operating conditions. A contact-mechanics-based wear equation, also called Archard's wear model, was described by Archard and Hirst , and it is widely used for metal forming processes. This model postulates that the real contact area is determined by the plastic deformation of contacting asperities and that wear particles are generated owing to the removal of surface asperities under conditions such as load and sliding distance. To implement wear prediction in certain manufacturing processes, researchers modified Archard's wear model because the wear coefficient in this model represents the probability of wear particle generation. Enblom and Berg  defined a specific value of the wear coefficient when working in a narrow range of pressure and sliding velocity. Shen et al.  employed a combined approach with the finite element (FE) method and Archard's wear model to simulate the progressive wear of contacting surfaces. The authors measured the wear rates by performing pin-on-disc experiments and implemented the removal of material by moving boundary nodes to predict the wear developing in a spherical plain bearing. In a study of wear under high temperature, Stupkiewicz and Mróz  found that the interactions occurring in the contact between the tool and the workpiece in a hot forging process caused oxide scaling owing to the hard particles adhering to the workpiece surface. The initial oxide particle concentration had a large influence on the resulting distribution of abrasive wear in the tools. A third body abrasive wear model was developed by generalising Archard's wear model by substituting the normal pressure with the friction stress. To optimize the process parameters, Lee and Jou  combined FE simulations with a modified version of Archard's wear model to predict tool wear in a warm forging process, in which the wear coefficient and hardness were determined as functions of temperature. It was found that the tool material exhibited thermal softening and that its wear coefficient increased significantly with temperature. Furthermore, Ersoy-Nürnberg et al.  developed a wear coefficient that was correlated with the cumulative wear work (frictional dissipation energy) applied in the modified Archard's wear model. This method made it possible to predict the progression of wear damage at any stage of the tool life cycle by determining the wear coefficients as well as their gradients in deep-drawing experiments. These studies indicate that the application of wear prediction generally defines the wear coefficient as the probability of wear particle generation under significant contact conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and friction.
The present study aims to study the contact conditions occurring on the stamping tool and to explore the possibility of using the FE method in conjunction with Archard's wear model to predict the tool wear in press hardening. To accomplish these objectives, a specific press hardening experiment was established in an industrial environment and evaluated through FE simulations. The present press hardening experiment setup is designed to accelerate the wear process, which decreases the required number of strokes to obtain the measurable wear results. The wear results were used to validate the wear simulation. A user subroutine integrated in a commercial FE code (LS-DYNA) provides the contact conditions used in the tool wear calculation. In addition to deterministic simulations, the present study considers the sensitivity of the contact conditions due to friction coefficients and numerical factors, such as the penalty value and mesh size. A modified Archard's wear model based on the input from a standardised tribological test was implemented for tool wear simulation. The comparison between the tool wear prediction and the measurement was presented based on the tool shape change in the press hardening experiment as measured by a coordinate measurement machine (CMM).
Figure 1 shows the setup of the designed press hardening experiment in one half due to symmetry, which was a part of a production line tool section. The constant gap between the punch and the holder provided frictional sliding of the blank rubbing the tool and increased the contact pressure, which results in an accelerated wear process. Uncoated blanks are used in this investigation and they are frequently used in the industrial process. The aim of this initial study is to model and evaluate basic wear conditions and the more complex behaviour of the Al-Si coating is not included. The process parameters applied in the press hardening experiment are within the ranges of process parameters used in the industrial process. A boron-alloyed steel blank was homogeneously heated to 930 ∘C in furnace for 5 minutes. The transfer process for the blank to move from the exit of the furnace to the entrance of the die took 9 s. According to a temperature simulation using an effective heat transfer coefficient of 120 Wm−2K−1, the temperature in the blank after transfer decreased to 764 ∘C. The movable punch (upper tool) formed the blank into a target shape with a maximum force of 95 kN while the die (lower tool) kept stationary. With a constant velocity of 100 mms−1, the upper tool was stroked down for 80 mm. To intensify the wear process, the holders accompanied the moving-down punch. When the gap distance between the holders and the punch was set as 2.6 mm, 3.6 mm and 4.6 mm in the FE-simulation of the press hardening experiment, decreasing trends of the contact conditions were obtained in terms of the contact pressure and sliding distance. Since the tool wear is related to the contact conditions assumed by Archard wear model, a small gap distance can accelerate the wear process. Furthermore, the blank thinning was reversely proportional to the gap distances, a smaller gap distance would result in a high risk of cracks of the blank during the forming process. The gap distance of 2.6 mm was chosen to accelerate the wear without the risk of blank cracking. In the forming process, the gap distance of 2.6 mm was maintained, followed by cooling for 11 s. These processes were continuously run 200 times. The number of the strokes was determined by two considerations. Firstly, the number of strokes results in the measurable wear result obtained by the current measuring method mentioned in Section "Wear simulation and validation". Secondly, the quality of the production parts has been degraded. A deep groove of the worn blank produced after 192 strokes is presented in Section "Wear simulation and validation". The material used for the blank was uncoated manganese–boron steel (22MnB5) with a thickness of 1.6 mm, and the stamping tools were made of hot working tool steel (Toolox 44), see Table 1.
In the present study, a numerical model was used to investigate the contact conditions occurring on the stamping tools and to implement the modified Archard's wear model. The established FE simulation based on real manufacturing conditions can be considered as a typical part of a production line. Owing to the symmetry, only half of the press hardening tools were modelled, as shown in Fig. 1. This numerical model includes a blank with dimension of 14 × 132 × 1.6 mm (width × length × thickness) in 3D; however, the blank motion in the width direction was restricted. For the tools, solid elements of 1-mm size were used near the contact surface and larger elements, in the bulk. The blank was modelled using four-node Belyschko–Tsay shell elements with five integration points through the thickness. The initial temperature of the blank was above the austenitisation temperature, following which it was decreased to 764 ∘C before the forming simulation started. An austenite decomposition model predicting austenite decomposition into ferrite, perlite, bainite, and martensite for thin-sheet boron steels has been developed by Åkerström . Consequently, the influence of phase changes on both the mechanical and the thermal properties of the continuously formed and cooled blank was considered in the constitutive model developed by Åkerström et al. , which described the phase transformation behaviour of manganese–boron steel. This constitutive model and set of material data applied in a similar crash forming process have been validated by Åkerström and Oldenburg . The forming force measured in the upper tool was in agreement with the calculated force. The tool temperature history measured by thermocouple fixed under the tool surface was consistent to the calculated result. Furthermore, the differences between the calculated and the measured hardness and thickness along each cross section of the formed blank were less than 10 % and 5 % respectively. The positions of the maximum and minimum thicknesses of the formed blank were precisely predicted by the FE simulation. In the present model holder and the upper and lower tools were considered rigid parts, and their initial temperature was set at 40 ∘C. A constant heat transfer coefficient of 6000 Wm−2K−1 was used for the uncoated tool–blank interface. The specific heat capacity C p and thermal conductivity k of the tool steel were assumed to be the same as those for X40CrMoV5-1 tool material (see Table 2). The static and dynamic friction coefficients for the forming of the uncoated blank were both assumed to be 0.56. This friction value was obtained by a high-temperature tribometer test using uncoated contact pairs, where the boron steel strip was pre-heated until a complete austenite phase and the tool steel pins were kept separated before the sliding process. The test pressures and velocities were within the reasonable ranges in agreement with the present press hardening experiment. A stable friction coefficient of 0.56 was obtained independently of the test velocities and this friction coefficient was regarded as a constant friction coefficient applied in the present press hardening simulation. The detailed setup of the high-temperature tribometer test can be found in work done by Mozgovoy .
Because the present contact calculation is based on the penalty method, the inevitable penetration scaling the normal interface force f n affects the stability of the contact conditions, as seen in the simplified Eq. 1 deduced from Hallquist .
where α is the scaling factor, K is the stiffness modulus, E is Young's modulus, A is the element area, and d is the penetration depth. Normally, the element sizes used for the tool and the blank are not same because the geometric character of the tool, e.g. the radius needs small elements for a good geometric representation but big elements are used for the rest part of the tool to save computational cost. According to Eq. 2, a large stiffness modulus owing to the big element size causes a large interface force or even a fake bounce. Small elements result in small stiffness modulus. The understanding of the interaction between the mesh size and the stiffness modulus is important for the FE-simulation and a proper scaling factor for the contact calculation determines the accuracy of the present contact-mechanics-based wear simulation.
A 2D spherical contact model was established as shown in Fig. 2, a hemispherical part defined as an elastic body was loaded by a rigid flat part. In order to be consistent to the FE-simulation of press hardening, the spherical contact model was simulated with the explicit solver. The load applied on the bottom of the elastic part was gradually increased. The element size of the flat part was consistent with the element size of the stamping tool. The elastic body mimicking the blank in press hardening was tested with element sizes of 0.2–2 mm; however, the mesh alignment in the contact area was carefully kept. The Hertz contact theory was used for calculating the maximum contact pressure in the elastic body as an analytical solution to compare with the maximum pressure obtained with different numerical factors. Table 3 shows the test parameters and the analytical maximum pressure, where Young's modulus of the flat part was infinitely large because it was defined as a rigid part in the spherical contact model.
Table 4 shows the calibrated penalty scaling values with different element sizes in the hemispherical part. As a simplification, the calibrated penalty scaling factor of the case with 1-mm element size was scaled to 1 as a reference for others. Because the present FE code used the stiffness modulus of the minimum element between the contact parts, bigger element sizes defined in the hemispherical part compared to the element size used in the flat part did not increase the stiffness modulus but resulted in bigger time steps. A big time step led to deeper penetration due to the relation between element size and the stiffness modulus, e.g Eq. 2. In Fig. 4a the cases using the element size of 2 mm and 1.4 mm had very high penetration depths. It was noted that the calibrated penalty factors decreased in the cases using 1 mm to 0.2 mm. In the case with small elements, the contact force is distributed over several nodes, thus the penetration will be smaller, see Fig. 3. On the other hand, smaller elements did not provide the most stable results in terms of less penetration depth and less spurious oscillation. In Fig. 4, the smallest elements of 0.2-mm size led to the apparent waves of penetration depth compared to the other element sizes. Figure 4b shows the gradients of the maximum pressure when the penalty scaling factor was increased slightly from the calibrated values. A higher gradient of the increasing pressure indicated a more unstable contact state in which a small numerical variation can drastically affect the pressure. The bigger element sizes used in the hemispherical part caused higher gradients compared to the case using 1-mm element size for the both parts. The case using the 0.5-mm element size resulted in a very high pressure gradient.
The mesh size of 1 mm with the calibrated penalty factor was the most stable choice, and therefore, it was employed for the blank in the FE simulation of the press hardening experiment.
In the present press hardening experiment, the tool experienced different blank deformation in different zones as shown in Fig. 5. In the zone 1 and 3, the blank was stretched and bent around the tool radii. In the zone 2, the blank underwent a tensile straining process because the gap between the holder and the punch provided the friction force sticking the blank. Since the upper tool formed the flat blank into the target shape, the upper tool radius (zone 3) experienced the most plastic deformation of the blank and the slight contact occurring on the tool lateral surfaces.
In order to validate the FE-simulation, the blank thickness was measured after the second stroke of the press hardening experiment. A micrometer screw gauge was used to measure specific positions along the center section in the formed blank, as seen in Fig. 6. Each position spacing by 10 mm was measured by 20 times and the average value was compare to the calculated thickness of the forming simulation. Figure 6b presents a thickness comparison, where the predicted thickness variations along the specific positions were consistent to the tendency of the measured thickness. The difference in most positions may attribute to the tolerance of the initial blank thickness. The thickness difference between the measured and calculated values in position 7 can be explained in terms of the thinning of the blank caused by actually higher friction between the holder and the punch compared to the friction coefficient used in the FE-simulation.
A user subroutine integrated with LS-DYNA was used to extract the contact conditions in terms of the sliding distance, sliding velocity, contact temperature, and contact pressure from the contacting nodes during the drawing process. In each explicit time step, the FE code calculated the relative motion between the blank and the tool, the summation of which gave the sliding distance; dividing this distance by the time step gave the relative velocity. The contact information was output at 0.01-s intervals. The nodal pressure was the quotient of the normal force and the fraction area of the elements connecting to the node. Table 5 shows a statistical overview of the contact conditions evaluated on the upper tool from the press hardening simulation, where the element size of the blank was 1 mm. It should be noted that the mean values of the transient values such as contact pressure and sliding velocities were the averages of the contact conditions occurring on all contacting nodes in the entire drawing process, whereas the statistical data of sliding distance was calculated by the final and accumulated values. The high standard deviations of the surface temperature, contact pressure, sliding distance and sliding velocity represent the contact conditions that were unevenly distributed in the contact area and the harsh conditions concentrated on the upper tool radius when the blank was bent around the tool radius.
According to the radius direction shown in Fig. 7, the contact pressures and tool temperatures measured from different sub-sections in the upper tool radius and averaged over the blank width are shown in Fig. 8. The small pressure peaks in sub-sections 3 and 4 at around 0.2 s were due to the impact effect when the upper radius initially touched the blank. The frequency oscillation was attributed to the different stiffness modulus between segments, which was amplified when the blank slid along the radius. Sub-sections 3, 4 and 5 from 26∘– 51∘ of the radius were critical areas and experienced high pressures. The front part, sub-section 1, only experienced short-duration contact at the beginning of the drawing process; the contact between the end part of the punch radius and the blank occurred when the tools closed, as indicated by the pressure curve measured in sub-section 7. A similar observation was made for the tool temperature; the temperature evaluated in sub-section 3 increased drastically at the beginning of drawing while the end part of the radius was heated later, as indicated by the temperature curve of sub–section 7. The rising tool temperature observed implied that stagnation between the tool and the pass-by blank caused increased heat transfer.
An extended range of constant friction coefficients was applied in the present model in order to study the influence of the friction on the contact conditions. The selected range of friction coefficient has been reported in literature from different tests with uncoated and Al-Si coated blanks, see Karbasian and Tekkaya  and Naganathan and Penter . The resulting contact conditions are presented in Table 6. The variation percent in the contact condition referring to the ratio between difference and average illustrates the influence of the extended friction coefficients on the contact conditions as seen in Fig. 9. The higher friction coefficient defined in the numerical model provided a stronger sticking effect between the blank and the tool, and higher pressure and sliding distance were observed. The variation in friction coefficients dramatically affected the maximum pressure in the tool, which variation percent reached 48.2 %. Furthermore, more friction energy due to the higher friction coefficient led to higher tool temperature and the variation reached 24.3 %. The variation in friction range did not significantly influence the maximum sliding distance.

where F is the load applied in standardised tribological experiments and V, the loss volume measured by the weight change of the sample. The parameters of the applied Archard's wear model is summarized in Table 7.
A topological measurement of the worn blank produced after 192 strokes was carried out by a WYKO 3D optical profilometer, as seen in Fig. 10. This measurement was performed with a 2.5 × optical objective and a 1 × image zoom lens. The measurement scope was 1.9 × 2.5 mm and located in position 6 as shown in Fig. 6a The deep of the groove on the worn blank surface in relation to the reference plane (defined by the surrounding flat surface) was 70 um. Regrinding operation for the tool would be needed in a production line due to such a produced part with the degraded quality. The wear profile of the worn blank surface was in agreement with the groove profile formed in the abrasive wear process. Kato and Adachi  stated that in the abrasive wear process the grooves are formed as the result of the generated wear particles scratching on the surface and plastic flow of material forms ridges on both sides of a groove. In the present study, the tips of the ridges were compressed and formed into flat shapes when the blank was bent around the tool radius. Two relatively small ridges formed in one side of the grooves was attributed to the abrasive wear of the entrapment of the wear particles in the interface between the ridge and the tool.
Additionally, the scratching track formed on the worn blank surface implied a hard adhesion built up in the counter surface.
A ZESIS Contura G2 coordinate measuring machine (CMM) was used to measure the shape changes of the upper tool radius after 200 continuous strokes because the measurable wear concentrated to the upper tool radius and this observation was consistent to the wear simulation. The probe measured seven positions distributed evenly along the radius for 90 ∘. The first measurement was performed on the original tool and the second one, at the same positions after 200 strokes of press hardening. The different distances from the measured coordinates to the radius centre were considered shape changes due to wear. The nominal machine accuracy is 1 μm; however, the real maximum error can reach 6 μm. Because the original measurement was performed before the press hardening experiment, the severest wear scar may not be present at the measured positions. This deviation between the severest wear scar and the measured positions affects the validation of tool wear prediction. To ensure accuracy, the CMM measurements were performed by four times at different width positions on the upper tool radius.
Based on the tool wear simulation using LS-DYNA, the statistical analysis of the wear depths of the upper tool in which the wear depth was linearly extrapolated by 200 times after one drawing simulation is shown in Table 8. The mean value and standard deviation indicate that wear was distributed unevenly. The extended range of the friction coefficient, cf. Table 6, resulted in the maximum wear depth range of 7.3 %. Figure 11 (a) shows the predicted concentration of wear on the upper tool radius, which was the part that experienced the most contact behaviour. Additionally, the blank with 2-mm mesh size with a calibrated penalty factor led to smaller maximum wear depth of 0.0103 mm owing to the smaller sliding distance predicted. The wear depths at the sub-sections were averaged from the nodes distributed along the blank width, the variation of which was attributed to the thickness changing of the blank during the drawing process. Figure 11b shows the wear profiles of the prediction and the measurement on the punch radius and the reference line referring to zero shape deviation indicates the initial tool shape.
The negative shape deviation can be regarded as wear depth and the positive shape deviation was the built-up material adhered on the tool surface exceeding the tool shape (indicated by the reference line in Fig. 11b). The position of the highest wear depth at 30 degrees related to the harsh contact conditions, e.g the contact conditions in sub-section 3 shown in Fig. 8, was predicted by the present wear simulation. However, since the valleys formed on the tool surface due to wear act as reservoirs for wear debris , the area indicated by 1 and 2 were the accumulation of the wear debris caused by repeated compressions of the increasing pressures in sub-section 4 and 5 (see Fig. 8a) during 200 strokes. The severe contact conditions in sub-section 7 in the end of forming process (see Fig. 8) may cause three-body abrasive wear in the end part of the radius (area 3) due to the break-off of the significant adhesion indicated by area 1. This wear result was consistent to the statement that when the initial adhesion takes place at asperities due to the formation of bonding junctions and increase in size as sliding motion continues, the built-up adhered fragment may break away due to plastic shearing and cause three-body abrasive wear . The discrepancy between the measurement and the prediction implied the limitation that the employed Archard's wear model based on the standardised tribological test used a positive wear coefficient. The present wear coefficient represented the probability of the generation of the wear particles under the experimented condition, and the development of wear particles in the interface in terms of the adhesion and the consequent three-body abrasion due to the break-away of the adhesion was not captured.
This study aimed to investigate the contact conditions causing tool wear in press hardening through FE-simulations and to explore the possibility of the application of tool wear simulation. To calibrate numerical factors such as the mesh size and penalty factor, a spherical contact model was studied. By using the calibrated mesh size and penalty scaling factor, the FE simulation of the press hardening experiment predicted the contact profiles, such as the pressure and tool temperature, occurring on the upper tool radius. The statistical analysis of the contact conditions provided a base to design an experiment that reproduces the tribological behaviour of press hardening. It was noted that increased friction coefficient caused increased pressure and sliding distance in the present FE simulation of the press hardening experiment. A modified Archard's wear model with a temperature-dependent wear coefficient was implemented in the tool wear simulation. The relatively good agreement between the FE simulation using the modified Archard's wear model and the experimental results demonstrated the practical significance of the tool wear simulation. However, the present tool wear simulation is dependent of the choice of numerical factors, the variation in friction and the input data for the employed wear model. Furthermore, the employed wear model predicting the wear particle generation resulted in negative wear depths but the wear measurement of the upper tool radius indicated that the adhesion of wear particles existed. With the contact conditions calculated by the FE simulation of the press hardening experiment, the mechanism behind the adhesion can be explained. The difference in the wear prediction based on the present method and the measurement motivated the researchers to develop a more elaborated laboratory test. Further studies will focus on a redesigned tribological experiment with interrupted sliding processes to obtain a deep understanding of the mechanism behind the adhesion. In order to capture both abrasive and adhesive wear, relevant physical factors need to be introduced into the modelling of wear in press hardening processes.

Our Time Press visits Bali through the adventures of our outreach specialist Nadia Fattah, and her daughter Taaeba. The Fattah women traveled to the beautiful Indonesia locale just days after Sony Pictures wrapped location filming for Eat, Pray, Love starring Julia Roberts opening nationwide, this Friday.
Brooklyn's Taaeba Fattah met Bali medicine man Ketut Liyer earlier this year. Ketut is the transitional center of the film based on the best-selling book "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert.
Elizabeth Gilbert's autobiographical bestseller on which the film is based reveals how the author finds herself through a soul-searching journey to three different places in the world, unique in what they offer her. In Our Time Press, the Brooklyn-based Fattah women, inveterate world travelers, offers a universal message for our readers and the world.
Images of the home of the "medicine man" around which the Bali section of the film centers, will be featured, and later in the month, through the photographs of Barry L. Mason and Hiroki Kobayashi the stunning and stylish Taaeba will show readers where to go — within blocks and a few miles of home — to get the Bali-look.

Of all the elements of a good content marketing strategy, audio -- or podcasts ---is the one least embraced by marketers. There's a lot of good reasons for this: podcasts are not as widely consumed as video, blog posts, photos or games; and, producing a podcast isn't as easy as many of the other content types. So why bother?
Coming off the heels of the Search Insider Summit on the beautiful Captiva Island, Fla., I find myself in Barcelona discussing the evolution of marketing. While at SIS, I spoke about how search is strategically critical for an agency, railing on about the lack of focus on search at the search conference. While data, analytics, mobile, and social are all important elements to address -- search is a key thread across all of them.
The recent Search Insider Summit provided me with a real-world example of how our world is connecting in new ways.
In my first column this year, I set my sights on reinventing B2B search best practices. In that piece, I alluded to a "holy grail" for program analytics where B2B marketers could drill into search query patterns by organizational size and individual roles in the company -- essentially, uncovering and optimizing for the "who" in search. While this type of intelligence isn't commonly used today, it should be if B2B marketers are serious about installing a legitimate competitive advantage.
One of the least understood but most effective forms of marketing content these days is the mighty video. More and more, there is evidence that people engage with brands more completely thanks to video, which can lead to better sharing metrics, improved conversion rates and increased demand generation.
"May you live in interesting times...." Those six words pretty much sum up the theme of the three-day Search Insider Summit, kicking off on Captiva Island, Fla. But that well-known quote is both a blessing and a curse. On the surface, it appears to be a benevolent wish of good will, but lurking just under the surface lays a malevolent storm that can rip organizations and institutions apart.
With the recent Jewish holiday of Passover (as told via social media in this genius video) in mind, I'd like to share the 10 plagues of Facebook status updates. If someone you know has been afflicted, please post this column to their wall and (in the spirit of #3 below) let them figure out which one they, or rather, YOU are suffering from.

When will tennis be able to unite itself ?

Marion Bartoli
Simon Cambers
Daniil Medvedev had plenty to say about the change to the Roland-Garros schedule – and the Match Points panel had plenty to say about him airing his views.
The Russian called the week postponement "a bit ridiculous", suggesting it was superfluous in the middle of a pandemic.
Journalist Simon Cambers said that pushing the timing back by a week wasn't ideal for anyone, least of all the players – but added that they ought to count their blessings.
"Players like to moan, we know that," he said. "They should be thankful they're out there playing and able to play a lot of tournaments."
Cambers was quick to say, however, that the Russian was perfectly entitled to give his views – and he was just answering a question that a journalist asked.
"He said what he felt and probably what a lot of players felt," he said.
Bartoli: "The government has a lot of say"
Former Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli explained that the government of France and the French Tennis Federation had been in discussions about planning for Roland-Garros for many months.
"Roland-Garros is part of French history the same as the Tour de France," she said. "The government has a lot of say in terms of dates and how many people they're allowing into the stadium."
However, she thought the communication about the change of date could have been better, with players getting a heads-up rather than learning about it on social media.
And though she felt that Medvedev's comments were "harsh", made without the necessary background information, she added: "A player has the right to say whatever they want."
Give additional privileges to vaccinated players – Ben Rothenberg
Bartoli will be at Roland-Garros, and confirmed that she will be vaccinated beforehand. She is not looking forward to returning to the closed bubble environment.
"I've been in those bubbles with Jelena Ostapenko – I've experienced how difficult it is for the players to go on like this, week in week out. It's exhausting."
She explained that players are fearful and stressed about the possibility of returning a positive test for coronavirus, and she hoped that the week's delay to the tournament would mean that more of their entourage might be able to join them and offer them additional support.
Journalist Ben Rothenberg said he would like to see Roland-Garros give additional privileges to vaccinated players, encouraging them to take up the opportunity of a vaccine. He pointed out that some players had already said they didn't see the point of getting a jab if they still had to be in a strict bubble – which he described as "selfish and stupid".
And so he thought that if vaccinated players did get more liberty than non-vaccinated ones, more would opt for a vaccine rather than have to obey all the bubble rules.
