As you've probably heard, Harriet Tubman is slated to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. This has led to a sort-of debate. I say sort-of, since the issue was decided by the Washington bureaucrats and not the people, whom no one thought to ask. Liberals have hailed the inclusion of a black woman, while some conservatives have praised her as a "gun-totin' Republican woman." While I certainly respect Tubman's achievements, I do have some objections to her place on the currency, which I suppose come from the old-fashioned idea that the bills ought to honor historically important people.
While it's certainly true that Tubman, as a conductor on the Underground Railway, did free a number of slaves (she claimed "thousands," the actual number has been put at about 70), functioned effectively as a Union spy, and even led a raid to free slaves, she was at best a minor figure in the Civil War, American history, and even in the history of abolition. She certainly put her life and freedom on the line numerous times – but so did a lot of other people. Thus it's hard to escape the idea that this is simply an exercise in identity politics. There were many others who did the same thing, and more effectively. For example, the most effective African-American spy was probably Mary Bowser, a former slave of Richmond socialite and Union spy Elizabeth van Lew. Bowser, who has been almost forgotten, operated in the heart of the Confederacy as the housekeeper for Jefferson Davis. As part of van Lew's extensive spy ring, she and her spymaster furnished invaluable information to the Union.
Andrew Jackson, however, was (and is) a giant of American history. He was a successful general who defeated the world's best army at New Orleans with a greatly inferior rag-tag force, and someone who as president changed the body politic forever by wresting power from the Eastern elite and giving it to the people. Not only that, he forced South Carolina to back down in the 1832 Nullification crisis. He is the only president who has an "age" named after him, and the United States was a different place after him.
Alas, Old Hickory has come under a cloud lately, for in the age of identity he has a number of things going against him. For starters, he is white, male, and a Southerner. As if that weren't enough, he was a slaveowner. What seems to be the biggest strike against him, though, is the Indian removals. He has been reviled as an Indian hater and even a practitioner of genocide. If he did hate Indians, however, he had a rather strange way of showing it. Jackson adopted an orphaned Creek Indian boy, Lyncoya, and treated him as his own son. He removed the Indians not because he hated them, because he honestly thought it was the best solution to a difficult problem.
All this is of a piece with the ideas of the radical historians of the 60s and 70s, which have entered the mainstream. It is one thing to recognize people in American history who have been forgotten and overlooked, especially women and persons of color, who often got written out of it. However the new historians went much further and instead placed these marginal figures at center stage to the virtual exclusion of traditional figures. This has resulted in a very skewed history where people like Tubman have in effect displaced genuine epoch makers like Jackson.
Probably the best example is Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, which treats our history entirely as one of the poor, dispossessed, and marginalized. Naturally the US does not come out very well when looked at this way, but nevertheless it's often used as a textbook and reference. Thus do we have students who think that Crispus Attucks was one of the central figures of the American Revolution, but can't name any of the Founding Fathers; and who know all about Harriet Tubman and Soujourner Truth but have no idea who Lee and Grant were, although they might have a vague idea that some guy named Lincoln had something to do with it, but didn't he own slaves?
You get the idea. Unfortunately you can expect to see more of it.
Good points all, but this sort of thing was inevitable in the current climate. Could have been worse.
Fred: I agree with almost all of what you wrote in your insightful post, with a few exceptions.
I graduated public high school many decades ago, but I have gleaned some knowledge of today's high school curriculums from my grandchildren. You're correct that history is not taught as intensely as it once was. That's shameful and harmful to our democracy. Also, the tendency by some to lambaste past presidents and other historical figures because they weren't saints is ridiculous.
But there have been a few significant improvements. The evils of slavery and the contributions of African Americans now are taught to all school children. In my years in public school in suburban Washington, D.C., slavery and the contributions of African Americans were hardly mentioned.
Also, wars, generals and the outcomes of battles today seem to be de-emphasized today, in favor of teaching about grass-roots political, labor, social and cultural movements. That also is a step forward, I believe..
Finally, maybe Frederick Douglass would have been a better choice for the $20 bill. Also, I found Howard Zinn's work useful, if for no other reason than it gives an alternate perspective to American history.
The mainstreaming of social and cultural movements goes back to the 1960s. Frankly, the idea that LGBT studies, women's studies, Hispanic studies, civil rights studies etc., have taken the place of Constitutional studies, Revolutionary War studies, Civil War studies [yes, strategy, tactics & leadership] WWI and WWII studies is a travesty. The latter studies are all linchpins in the fabric of this country and are what makes the United States of America a shining light in this world. However, the current focus on the former studies is a major reason that too many high school and college students are clueless about why this country, warts and all, is a unique and fantastic place to live. I will agree that Frederick Douglass would have been a better selection than Tubman on the $20 bill.
I agree with much of what you wrote.
However, I think too many of we history buffs take its importance for granted. Lots of our fellow Americans could care less. That is true today, and it was true when I was in public school in the 1950s and '60s. We must find ways to make history interesting and relevant for everyone.
I don't claim to be anywhere near an expert on today's public education. But I get the impression that one of the newer trends is to emphasize that many positive changes in our nation came from the bottom up, rather than from the top down. Examples: Abolition, workers' rights, conservation and the environment, women's suffrage, consumer protection, civil rights for African-Americans, women and gays, etc.
By including a bottom-up approach to American history, educators also reenforce students' faith in our democracy, i.e. it's important for grass-roots folks to get involved in the political process, whether they're liberal, conservative or somewhere in between.
Jackson's place on any piece of currency is problematic if only because he disapproved of paper money. Tubman is a good choice (IMO) because of her value as a symbol of black resistance to slavery. The original plan was to replace Hamilton on the $10 bill, but that became A Bad Idea after the play, "Hamilton," won a Pulitzer Prize.
I enjoy your posts here and in Emerging Civil War.
I have one serious issue with you, however.
Is that a Wolverine jersey you're wearing? i live in Ohio and, of course, am a dyed-in-the-wool Buckeye fan. How dare you mar Brett's otherwise fine blog with such a lewd photo.
At least you (and Brett) will agree with me on one issue, I think: The Big Ten is the best conference in college football.
The wife and I vacation during the winter in South Carolina. I have even more debates there about the Big Ten vs. the SEC than I do about the Civil War.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) today introduced DeepRacer, a fully autonomous 1/18th scale race car that is a fun and fast way to get started with reinforcement learning. The race car costs USD399 but can be pre-ordered for USD249. The leading cloud computing company also announced AWS DeepRacer League, the world's first global autonomous racing league.
At AWS re:Invent, CEO Andy Jassy said DeepRacer is the best way to go "hands-on" to learn about Reinforcement Learning (RL).
RL is an advanced machine learning (ML) technique that takes a different approach to training models than other machine learning methods.
The amazing thing about RL is that it learns complex behaviours without requiring any labelled training data, and can make short term decisions while optimising for a longer term goal.
AWS DeepRacer was designed to give everyone to get a hands-on with RL, experiment, and learn through autonomous driving.
The race car boasts a dual-core Intel Atom processor, a 4MP FHD video camera, fast Wi-Fi (802.11ac), multiple USB ports, accelerometer, gyroscrope, and two batteries (2-hour battery life) housed in an all-wheel drive, monster truck chassis.
It runs Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Robot Operating System, and the Intel OpenVino computer vision toolkit.
The racer includes a fully-configured cloud environment that lets you train your Reinforcement Learning models.
It takes advantage of the new RL feature in Amazon Sagemaker. It also includes a 3D simulation environment powered by AWS RoboMaker.
You can train an autonomous driving model against a collection of predefined race tracks included with the simulator. You can then evaluate them virtually, or download them to a AWS DeepRacer car and verify performance in the real world.
You can pre-order a unit today and sign up to be part of the preview at aws.amazon.com/deepracer.
AWS also announced the first AWS DeepRacer League, to kick off at re:Invent over the next 24 hours at AWS DeepRacer workshops and at the MGM Speedway in Las Vegas.
There will be six main tracks (and a pit area for each), a hacker garage, two extra tracks that you can use for training and experimentation.
From 11.30AM to 10PM, 28 November, every lap time will be entered into the Speedway Leaderboard.
The top 3 developers with the fastest times of the day will advance to the 2018 grand finale where they will compete to become AWS DeepRacer 2018 Champion.
The final race will take place at the AWS re:Invent International Speedway at 8A on Thursday, 29 November 2018.
In 2019, there will be a series of live racing events at AWS Global Summits around the world. There will also be virtual events and tournaments throughout the year.
Winners and top scores will advance to the AWS DeepRacer 2019 Championship Cup at re:Invent 2019.

FINAL DAY for Special Alan Lee John Howe Charity eBay Auction
March 12th, 2013 by Cliff Quickbeam Broadway
John Howe, legendary Tolkien artist and conceptual designer for THE HOBBIT and LOTR Trilogies, dropped us a note to remind us that today is the *final day* to bid on a very special piece of art that he and Alan Lee created in support of Robin's Relief Fairy Tale Art Auction, a charity fundraiser where world-renowned fantasy artists have donated remarkable exclusive artworks to help raise hopes and raise funds for Robin Sullins' new hands, new legs, and new life.
This artwork was created in New Zealand while the two artists were busy working on THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG, but they took time out of their work schedules to craft something special for this fundraiser.
The story takes us back to the recent holidays, where Robin's family had gathered for a long, pleasant Christmas meal that brought everyone together — but afterward, a small bite from an over-excited family dog would have strange and tragic consequences. Robin became infected with the Capnocytophaga bacteria, commonly found in cats and dogs but very rarely ever transmitted as an infection to a human, yet the devastation through her body ultimately caused the loss of both her legs and hands. More details on her courageous battle can be found here on the Robin's Relief Fairy Tale Art Auction page.
Now, in an effort to bring light and hope to her medical struggle, world-famous fantasy artists such as Wendy Froud, Michael Parkes, Alan Lee & John Howe, Kinuko Craft and many others have donated EXCLUSIVE new artworks that will be offered on eBay through the month of March. All proceeds go directly to a Chase Bank account setup for Robin's Relief Fund.
Unfortunately, eBay has been pursuing a policy of NOT ALLOWING the mention of a charity fundraiser anywhere on these auctions, and recently this amazing Lee/Howe original drawing of one of Tolkien's elves discovering the most unlikely creature imaginable (at least in terms of Middle-earth) was taken down off the auction site and all the bids were lost! None to be restored… so now they have replaced the live auction and the artist greatly desires to bring some Ringers' attention to it before it concludes later today. TODAY IS THE LAST DAY — the current bids are not as significant as they were before being taken down — SO PLEASE BID NOW — They are in the final hours of bidding on this item and every little bit helps.
Be sure to check out and bid on the auction here and find out more details on Robin's brave struggle on their charity info site here. You can also follow updates on her surgeries and recovery on her Facebook page here. Thank you so much.

"Five hops and four malts make Hoptober Golden Ale a veritable cornucopia of the earth. Pale and wheat malt are mashed with rye and oats to create a medium-bodied ale with a creamy mouthfeel.
Pours a faint straw color with a pillowy white head with good retention that thick but non-persistant rings of lacing behind. Body clarity is high and carbonation levels are fairly low. Initially, an earthy hop presence overpowered our nose. Quickly following was a light fruity presence peaking through, with hints of citrus (oranges and lemons). As expected, the malt body was very light and crisp. The aroma was very balanced. Initial taste is citrusy with some sour grapefruit notes and the finish has some dense earthy flavors. With a light to medium body, the Hoptoberfest was a bit watery with a soft bitter presence. The hops are quite drying on our plates, creating a unique light beer experience. There was a very active carbonation mouthfeel. The 6% alcohol presence was masked by the hops and malts. Astonishingly aromatic and overachieving in taste, this brew caught us off guard and continued to surprise. Great nose, great taste, pleasant finish...this one was knocked out of the park.

President-elect Trump on Disabilities, what now?
November 10, 2016 / Ian Franks
What does the election of Donald Trump mean for people with disabilities such as multiple sclerosis?
Yes, two days ago the people of the U.S.A. decided who they wanted as their next President. They were faced with a difficult choice between a candidate with no experience of holding an elected public office and one who had served as a senator and Secretary of State. Ok, they could have ignored the two main candidates and voted for another candidate but, realistically, it was a choice between Trump and Clinton.
Now, before I go any further, it is essential to point out that I am not American and so am commenting from the position of an observer.
So, let's take a look at what President-elect Donald Trump said about disabilities and social security payments.
Back in 2013, speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference, in Washington, Trump said: "As Republicans, if you think you are going to change very substantially for the worse Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security in any substantial way, and at the same time you think you are going to win elections, it just really is not going to happen."
President-elect Donald Trump.
In Time to Get Tough he said; "Social Security faces a problem: 77 million baby boomers set to retire. Now I know there are some Republicans who would be just fine with allowing these programs to wither and die on the vine. The way they see it, Social Security and Medicare are wasteful 'entitlement programs'.
"But people who think this way need to rethink their position. It's not unreasonable for people who paid into a system for decades to expect to get their money's worth – that's not an 'entitlement', that's honoring a deal. We, as a society, must also make an ironclad commitment to providing a safety net for those who can't make one for themselves.
"Social Security is here to stay. To be sure, we must reform it, root out the fraud, make it more efficient, and ensure that the program is solvent.
"Same goes for Medicare. Again, people have lived up to their end of the bargain and paid into the program in good faith. Of course, they believe they're 'entitled' to receive the benefits they paid for – they are!"
Tackling the issue of fraud itself, in Time to Get Tough, he said: "The top estimates are $2,340,000,000 in Medicare fraud over a decade – or 16% of America's entire national debt!
"Then there's the disability racket. Did you know that one out of every 20 people in America now claims disability? That adds up to $170 billion a year in disability checks. Between 2005 and 2009, it is estimated that $25 billion were eaten up in fraudulent Social Security Disability Insurance filings. On and on, scam after scam it goes; as always, taxpayers are the ones getting stiffed."
What next, I wonder?

Two candidates, both flawed and both economical with the truth. Trump, now 'the chosen one,' has to both keep faith with his base and try and embrace those he has insulted. Good luck with that!
Livings on two small islands at the bottom of the South Pacific, look really good right now!

Advocates are keeping tight-lipped in the wake of Donald Trump s surprise victory with little known about how the president-elect may shape policies vital to people with disabilities.


Some of the essential aspects that influence an individual analysis and history of understanding is the cultural background as well as individual's own paradigm. There are many clams which are made in science for instance; for a concept to be accepted in science it must be reproduced or replicable. These are some of the constraints to knowledge acquisition because some of the historical events are not replicable or their damages are very inhumane beyond this test. Falsification is a common concept in natural science though it's a main concept in limiting knowledge acquisition. Literature is a good example of language usage in acquisition of knowledge. All literal materials employ language in explaining all concepts be it history or not.

Houston City Council on Wednesday passed new rules on precious metals dealers despite a lengthy attempt to water down the ordinance by Councilwoman Helena Brown, who called it "safety theater" that would burden businesses and invade jewelry sellers' privacy.
Officers in the Houston Police Department's precious metals unit said reputable dealers already implement many of the new rules but said the ordinance - which requires a photograph and thumbprint of each seller and mandates dealers enter transactions into an online database - will help them catch crooks and recover stolen goods.
Brown sought to remove criminal penalties for violating the ordinance, to allow dealers more flexibility in when and how to report transactions and to scrap the rule requiring sellers to have a photo and thumbprint taken. Each amendment was easily defeated.
"Why even ask the legal, law-abiding people to submit to this? It's not going to prevent crime and it's not going to solve any crimes," Brown said. "It's ludicrous. We've gone way beyond what our Founding Fathers envisioned for this nation."
She paraphrased a quotation, which she attributed to Thomas Jefferson, saying those who would give up liberty for safety deserve neither.
Officers Rick Barajas and Todd Harris, of HPD's precious metals unit, said they have spent a year on the ordinance, visiting 250 gold dealers and holding several stakeholder meetings. HPD formed the unit after noticing 4,800 burglaries of jewelry valued at more than $10,000 between July 2010 and June 2011; monetary losses in jewelry-related crimes doubled from 2007 to 2011 as prices rose, along with thieves' interest.
One exchange between Brown and the officers got testy, and Brown later buttonholed Harris outside the chamber, but other council members were on board. Councilman Al Hoang said he had planned to vote against the new rules but was swayed by the officers' explanations.
Mayor Annise Parker did not weigh in at length during Brown's efforts, but did make an offhand comment.
"And for the record," she said, "it was a Benjamin Franklin quote."

10 must-read Linux success stories from 2020 | Opensource.com
10 must-read Linux success stories from 2020
From working with the terminal to switching from Mac to Linux and much more, Opensource.com authors offer a wealth of Linux information.
21 Dec 2020 Joshua Allen Holm (Correspondent) Feed

Linux probably needs no introduction. The Linux kernel is at the heart of numerous Linux distributions that run on desktops, laptops, and servers. The Android operating system for mobile phones also uses the Linux kernel. In short, Linux is almost everywhere.
While the "year of the Linux desktop" is often regarded as a pipedream, many people happily use a Linux distribution as their desktop computer operating system of choice. Some of the articles published on Opensource.com in 2020 reflect that fact. Over the past year, many writers shared their Linux experience, and several of them focused on desktop Linux.
Below, I take a look at Opensource.com's top 10 Linux articles from 2020. From working with the terminal to switching from Mac to Linux and much more, these articles provide a wealth of information about Linux.
Why I switched from Mac to Linux
Lee Tusman shares the reasons why he switched from Mac to Linux. A Mac user for 25 years, Tusman made the switch after using Raspberry Pis, very old laptops rescued from the trash, and a work-issued Dell laptop that dual-boots Windows and Linux. Tusman shares his thoughts about the difference between macOS and Linux, explores specific Linux software packages, and concludes that a switch back to Mac is not in his future.
20 productivity tools for the Linux terminal
Alan Smithee covers 20 ways to improve your productivity in the Linux terminal. This is a compilation of articles from a series Kevin Sonney wrote about a variety of Linux utilities. This summary article breaks down the utilities Kevin wrote about into categories: file sync, email management, calendar and contacts, to-do lists, keep in touch, keep informed, and keep that terminal open. Each of Sonney's source articles is linked to provide more information.
5 ways to split your Linux terminal
Learn how to divide your Linux terminal in this article by Opensource.com editor Seth Kenlon. There are various ways to split a terminal into different subsections for working on various tasks, and this article compares how tmux, GNU Screen, KDE's Konsole, Emacs, and various window managers do it. Kenlon also provides definitions pointing out the distinction between shells, terminals, and consoles.
What's your favorite Linux distribution?
The 7th annual Opensource.com Linux distribution poll asked readers about their favorite Linux distribution. The poll options ranged from old favorites to some of the newest distributions, like System76's Pop!_OS. Like most Opensource.com polls, this one generated a healthy discussion in the comments, with many, many people sharing the reasons why they prefer their favorite distribution.
Give an old MacBook new life with Linux
Don Watkins teaches how to bring an old MacBook back to life with Linux. By installing Elementary OS Hera on his old MacBook Air, Watkins made a machine that was too old to run macOS Mojave into a perfectly usable system for his needs. The features of Elementary OS are explored throughout this article, as Watkins shares his thoughts about the distribution's various features. Watkins' tour of Elementary OS is very positive; he was clearly pleased with his experience.
4 Linux distributions for gaming
Gaming on Linux has made some incredible improvements in recent years, and Seth Kenlon's 4 Linux distributions for gaming outlines some of your options. The four distributions—SteamOS, Lakka, Pop!_OS, and Drauger OS—covered in this article have been part of those improvements. Kenlon provides overviews of each option as well as the benefits each distribution offers for gaming. He also provides a fifth option—the Linux of your choice—which really underlines just how far gaming on Linux has come. Gaming on very conservative distributions like CentOS and RHEL is possible thanks to a Flatpak installer for Steam.
Unboxing the latest Linux laptop from System76
Matthew Broberg shares his thoughts about his first moments with a new System76 Linux laptop. Making the transition from Mac user to Linux user after joining the Opensource.com team, Broberg purchased a Lemur Pro from System76. His unboxing tour covers everything from the box itself to the specifics of his new laptop. This is a solid overview of the thought and care System76 puts into its Linux laptops.
Bypass your Linux firewall with SSH over HTTP
Domarys shows how to use ShellHub to bypass your Linux firewall. ShellHub is "a cloud server that allows universal access to […] devices, from any external network." It allows the use of SSH over the HTTP protocol, which makes it easier to securely access remote devices in a time where remote work has become extremely common. Domarys demonstrates the steps required to set up ShellHub, add a device, and access a device.
5 productivity apps for Linux
Scott Nesbitt covers 5 productivity apps for Linux. They are Envelope, a simple utility for managing a budget; Notes-Up, a note-taking application; Yishu, a to-do list application; Reminduck, a utility to provide reminder notification; and Quilter, a Markdown editor. All five of these applications are available in Elementary OS's Elementary AppCenter. Three of them, Envelope, Notes-Up, and Quilter, are pay-what-you-want applications; if you want to support the developer, you can pay for the app right in AppCenter.
How to create a personal file server with SSH on Linux
Jim Hall explains the process for setting up a personal file server with SSH on Linux. He shows how to enable the SSH daemon on a Fedora Linux system and connect to the remote system to share files. Instructions are provided for using GNOME's file manager to connect to the remote system, but they are generic enough to be easily transferable to other file managers that support SSH connections.

Q: Writing the most recently added element to the filtered to-do list In my to-do list project, I have a function where I filter the things that have been done and the things that will be done. However, when I want to add a new element to the list, new ones also come with pre-filtered list elements. What should I do to make only the newly added code work when an addition occurs during filtering?

form.addEventListener("submit", function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();

  const value = document.getElementById("add-input").value;
  const newItem = {
    title: value,
    id: Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 10),
    isDone: false,
  };

  todos.push(newItem);
  localStorage.setItem("todos", JSON.stringify(todos));
  section.innerHTML = todos.map((item) => todoItem(item)).join("");
  document.getElementById("add-input").value = "";
});

filtered.addEventListener("change", function(e) {
  let filteredTodos = todos;

  if (e.target.value === "done") {
    filteredTodos = todos.filter((item) => item.isDone === true);
  }
  if (e.target.value === "todo") {
    filteredTodos = todos.filter((item) => item.isDone === false);
  }

  section.innerHTML = filteredTodos.map((item) => todoItem(item)).join("");
});
<form id="todo-form">
  <input required id="add-input" type="text" placeholder="Bir yapılacak nesnesi ekleyin.." />
  <button id="add-btn" type="submit">Ekle</button>
</form>

Filtrele:

  <select id="dropdown">
    <option value="all">Tümü</option>
    <option value="todo">Yapılacak</option>
    <option value="done">Yapıldı</option>
  </select>

A: A good start would be to isolate all logic for creating your todo list in a render function. Whenever you change something in the internal state of your app, you call the render function and you can be sure the outcomes are consistent.
Here's a minimal change to make that work:

// Setup
const form = document.querySelector("form");
const filter = document.getElementById("dropdown");
const newTodoInput = document.getElementById("add-input");
const section = document.querySelector("ul");
const todoItem = ({ title, isDone, id }) => `<li> ${isDone ? `<s>${title}</s>` : title}</li>`;

// State
const todos = [ { title: "Fix code snippet", isDone: true, id: "1" }, { title: "Write own front-end framework", isDone: false, id: "2" } ];

// Render logic
const renderTodos = () => {
  let filteredTodos = todos;

  // Apply current filter
  const filterValue = filter.value;
  if (filterValue === "done") {
    filteredTodos = todos.filter((item) => item.isDone === true);
  }
  if (filterValue === "todo") {
    filteredTodos = todos.filter((item) => item.isDone === false);
  }

  // Render to page
  section.innerHTML = filteredTodos.map((item) => todoItem(item)).join("");
}

form.addEventListener("submit", function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();

  const value = document.getElementById("add-input").value;
  const newItem = {
    title: value,
    id: Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 10),
    isDone: false,
  };

  todos.push(newItem);
  document.getElementById("add-input").value = "";

  renderTodos();

});

filter.addEventListener("change", renderTodos);

// Initial render
renderTodos();
<form id="todo-form">
  <input required id="add-input" type="text" placeholder="What do you need to do?" />
  <button id="add-btn" type="submit">Create</button>
</form>

Filter:

  <select id="dropdown">
    <option value="all">All</option>
    <option value="todo">To do</option>
    <option value="done">Done</option>
  </select>

If your app keeps on growing, it might be worth it to strictly separate state from UI. For example, you could store the value of your filter in javascript, and in your render function ensure the dropdown is in sync. That'd allow you to easily reset a filter in JS and just call render to have it show up in UI.

Chevaline: The Bomb, the Chancellor and Britain's Nuclear Secrets
Posted on November 18, 2013 by navalmatters
An interesting radio documentary from the BBC regarding Britain's development of the Chevaline programme and the decision to keep Denis Healey out of the loop.
The Bomb, the Chancellor and Britain's Nuclear Secrets
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00zdj01
30-minutes
Polaris A3TK Chevaline PAC and re-entry vehicle.
In the first edition of a new series, Mike investigates documents which suggest that Labour Chancellor Denis Healey was kept in the dark over plans to modernise Polaris, Britain's nuclear weapons system in the mid-1970s.
Dubbed Chevaline, the upgrade programme was top secret and highly controversial, that would eventually cost hundreds of millions of pounds more than originally estimated. And all this at a time of economic hardship. Striving to keep his split party together on the highly sensitive issue of nuclear weapons, Prime Minister Harold Wilson restricted decision-making to a small circle of ministers.
But Thomson discovers papers which suggest that officials may have gone to extreme lengths to ensure that Chevaline was kept on track, proposing to withold key information from a sceptical Chancellor on the "need to know" basis. Was national security the real reason or were other motives at play?
Mike puts the claims to former Cabinet Ministers Tony Benn and Lord Owen, formerly David Owen, Foreign Secretary in the late 70s.
Producer: Laurence Grissell
Good grief. Healey, Benn and Owen. Those are names from the 1970s/80s for any Brit to conjure with.
Denis Healey interviewed for the programme.
Tony Benn interviewed for the programme.
David Owen interviewed for the programme.

America's "No.2 Nuke Commander" Suspended From Duty
Not arrested or charged, but suspension from such a high-profile job seems a reasonable precaution. The chap sitting in that seat can do without any distractions.
No. 2 nuke commander suspended amid casino probe
WASHINGTON — The No. 2 officer at the military command in charge of all U.S. nuclear war-fighting forces is suspected in a case involving counterfeit gambling chips at a western Iowa casino and has been suspended from his duties, officials said.
Vice Adm. Timothy Giardina
Navy Vice Adm. Tim Giardina has not been arrested or charged, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation special agent David Dales said Saturday. The state investigation is ongoing.
Giardina, deputy commander at U.S. Strategic Command, was suspended on Sept. 3 and is under investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, a Strategic Command spokeswoman said.
The highly unusual action against a high-ranking officer at Strategic Command was made more than three weeks ago but not publicly announced at that time. The command is located at Offutt Air Force Base near Omaha, Neb.
Air Force Gen. Robert Kehler, who heads Strategic Command, suspended Giardina, according to the command's top spokeswoman, Navy Capt. Pamela Kunze. Giardina is still assigned to the command but is prohibited from performing duties related to nuclear weapons and other issues requiring a security clearance, she said.
Kehler has recommended to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel that Giardina be reassigned, Kunze said. Giardina has been the deputy commander of Strategic Command since December 2011. He is a career submarine officer and prior to starting his assignment there was the deputy commander and chief of staff at U.S. Pacific Fleet.
DCI agents stationed at the Horseshoe Casino in Council Bluffs, Iowa, discovered the counterfeit chips, Dales said. He would not say when the discovery was made or how much in counterfeit chips was found, only that "it was a significant monetary amount."
Council Bluffs is located across the Missouri River from Omaha.
"We were able to detect this one pretty quickly and jump on it," Dales said. He declined to give specifics on how authorities determined that casino chips had been counterfeited or how Giardina might have been involved.
Strategic Command oversees the military's nuclear fighter units, including the Navy's nuclear-armed submarines and the Air Force's nuclear bombers and nuclear land-based missiles.
Kunze said Strategic Command did not announce the suspension because Giardina remains under investigation and action on Kehler's recommendation that Giardina be reassigned is pending. The suspension was first reported by the Omaha World-Herald.
Kunze said a law enforcement investigation of Giardina began June 16. Kehler became aware of this on July 16, and the following day he asked the Naval Criminal Investigative Service to begin a probe.
The suspension is yet another blow to the military's nuclear establishment. Last spring the nuclear missile unit at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., pulled 17 launch control officers off duty after a problematic inspection and later relieved of duty the officer in charge of training and proficiency.
In August a nuclear missile unit at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont., failed a nuclear safety and security inspection; nine days later an officer in charge of the unit's security forces was relieved of duty.

Benton County commissioners Monday adopted a resolution supporting efforts to preserve Mid-Columbia open spaces from development, particularly along the ridges of Badger Mountain. The resolution stops short of the county creating a Conservation Futures program, allowed under state law, but does endorse the program's concept.
A group of hiking enthusiasts now plans to use the county's support in its efforts to raise money to purchase about 575 acres atop the visual landmark. "Our objective is to preserve Badger Mountain as open space to that the citizens of the Tri-Cities can enjoy the features of the mountain in the years to come," said Mark Hoza, a member of the hikers group.
Commissioner Max Benitz Jr. opposed the resolution, saying the county already had enough open land for the public. "There isn't anyone who enjoys the outdoors more than I," he said. "But I can't ask the citizens of Benton County to have more and more government controlling private land." Former Benton County Commissioner Bob Drake also voiced dissent on the resolution, saying, "It appears the commissioners are falling into a trap of the taxpayers money." If someone wants to protect open spaces, Drake said, he should do it on his own.
However, Hoza said the hikers group doesn't intend that the county spend taxpayers' money. He said the group would maintain the property if it's bought and donated to the county. Before adopting the resolution, commissioners Claude Oliver and Leo Bowman made sure the county's risk to liability and maintenance on future purchases was minimal.
The state created the Conservation Futures program in 1971. It gives counties a tool to acquire lands important to the preservation of wildlife, natural character or other significant recreational, social, scenic or aesthetic values. Thirteen counties use the program, most in Western Washington. Ferry and Spokane counties are the only ones in Eastern Washington that use the program.
The hikers group is focusing its initial efforts on Badger Mountain, but it also wants to preserve areas on Red Mountain and other Mid-Columbia ridges. The Badger Mountain property is being sold as a single unit for $675,000. Hoza said the group would work with the nonprofit Trust For Public Lands on purchasing the property. Hoza said the group would seek private donations as well as state and federal grants to buy the land.
Commissioner Claude Oliver suggested money from the county's park development fund could also be contributed to the effort.

R Kelly Victim Alleges Singer Groomed Boys, Too
August 25, 2021 by Mickey Keating
Image via YouTube | R. Kelly prosecutor: 'This case is about a predator' | ABC News
R Kelly's Sexual Abuse Trial Is Exploding With Horrific Allegations Deeper Than We Knew
With a week full of bizarre and tragic stories globally, it's easy to miss some key updates regarding disgraced iconic singer, R Kelly's ongoing sex trafficking trial. Kelly's private behavior has almost been an open secret in Hollywood for years. After the damning and heinous accusations in the widely viewed documentary, Surviving R Kelly, finally public interest has been gained on the alleged crimes and Kelly is now in court for it. The trial began about a week ago, starting with Jerhonda Pace's testimony that she was physically, emotionally, and sexually abused by Kelly for six months when she was a starstruck sixteen-year-old. Another unnamed witness proclaimed she was forced to write letters to her parents, falsely accusing them of trying to use her being a girlfriend of Kelly for financial gain, essentially labeling her parents pimps and Kelly as innocent and being "set up". Yesterday, another unnamed victim is made a statement that all of Kelly's victims weren't young girls, but boys, too.
According to Huffington Post, Kelly (born Robert Sylvester Kelly) had been grooming a young boy to eventually become his successor in the circle of abuse. The unnamed then seventeen-year-old victim who met Kelly at one of his concerts in 2015 went on record stating that as a form of punishment, she would be forced into sex with a young boy that Kelly only referred to as "Nephew." She proclaimed Nephew had been groomed by Kelly when he was young and was gaslit by Kelly into taking on an enforcing role in the crimes. Kelly would be naked in the room with Nephew and the female victim, video taping them and directing them to make underage porn. This continued multiple times over the course of five years.
As any avid Law & Order: Special Victims Unit watcher will attest, the cycle of abuse can have lasting side effects on even victims, leading them to become predators themselves later on in adulthood. To this contributor's knowledge, this is the first time we've heard so far of young boys involved in Kelly's sex abuse crimes. It's clear from these terrifying allegations and accusations that no one was safe in Kelly's circle of destruction. The trial is ongoing, but it is shaping up to land him behind bars and likely for life.

Q: Mounting a USB device in Linux I have a problem when trying to work with USB devices mounted with user 'root'. I explain, I mount a USB device as root under command line (console mode only), and I can work with that device with no problem, but when changing to one limited account, that device mounted is in read-only mode. I've tried to apply chmod and chown but not to work. Also, I've tried this:
$ sudo mount -t vfat -o rw,users /dev/sdb1 /mnt/pen/

and same result. How can I resolve this without using fstab file? I think there must be a solution, 'cause under X-Windows with a limited account, this USB device is recognized, mounted and worked with no problem.

A: Try using the uid and gid bits to specify you as the userID which owns the file. You may also want to use umask:
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/pen -o umask=022,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000

A: Under GNOME, there's an automounter (part of Gnome-VFS) that provides automounting when HAL/Dbus notifies it that a new device has become available (USB stick plugged in, CD inserted, etc).
To run a 1-off on the commandline, use the mount options uid and/or gid (and/or umask) as John T's answer shows.
To run a system-wide automounter, use HALevt.  See my answer to this question for getting HALevt to work on a headless system.  In your case, you might tweak things to run the HALevt daemon as your user.
