He has invented a world of characters who are far more fun to be with than most real people. ![]() O'Brian's skills as a writer are almost too numerous to mention. Another friend realized she'd missed her bus stop because she was reading so deeply, and then decided it didn't matter and rode the bus to the end of the line, arriving two hours late to work. One friend, sick with pneumonia, left his bed and staggered five blocks to Booksmith when he heard a new volume was out. Everyone has their story of O'Brian addiction. Most of the action takes place on shore, where the personalities of Jack and Stephen really shine in all their quirky splendor, but we get a thumping good battle at the end, right when we're ready for it.Īfter this point, I dare you to stop. Here O'Brian mates his extensive knowledge of 19th century English life with a Jane Austen-like suite of characters and dilemmas. Volume 2, Post Captain, is my favorite in the series. It is an enjoyable book (and much fun to re-read) but its over-emphasis on naval vocabulary and warfare has stopped many readers from moving on to subsequent volumes. While all the books are about the 19th century British Royal Navy and its various battles, Master and Commander puts them at the center of the story, rather than Jack and Stephen, the main (and incredibly compelling) characters. They are not real, however much I want them to be."Īctually volume 1, Master and Commander, is the least compelling. Then I realized the reason why I hadn't heard from them: they are characters in a book. The big loud sailor and his naturalist friend. But once I got started on these books I couldn't stop."Īnd I will quote myself, speaking to a friend: "I was just thinking, hey, I haven't heard from those two guys in a while. I will quote my wife here: "I don't care about England, I don't want to know anything about their navy, and I certainly don't give a shit about English naval battles in the 19th century. He translated many works from French into English, among them the novels and memoirs of Simone de Beauvoir, the first volume of Jean Lacouture's biography of Charles de Gaulle, and famed fugitive Henri Cherriere's memoir Papillon. In addition to the Aubrey-Maturin novels, Patrick O'Brian wrote several books including the novels Testimonies, The Golden Ocean, and The Unknown Shore, as well as biographies of Joseph Banks and Picasso. ![]() ![]() The books are now available in hardcover, paperback, and e-book format. ![]() The film was nominated for ten Oscars, including Best Picture. The Far Side of the World, the tenth book in the series, was adapted into a 2003 film directed by Peter Weir and starring Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany. Set in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars, O'Brian's twenty-volume series centers on the enduring friendship between naval officer Jack Aubrey and physician (and spy) Stephen Maturin. Reardon, Chicago Tribune), and "the best historical novels ever written" (Richard Snow, New York Times Book Review), which "should have been on those lists of the greatest novels of the 20th century" (George Will). Patrick O'Brian's acclaimed Aubrey-Maturin series of historical novels has been described as "a masterpiece" (David Mamet, New York Times), "addictively readable" (Patrick T.

You’ve talked in the past about fiddling with the tax code to nudge people toward longer-term thinking. ![]() We are trying to maximize returns for our clients over a long cycle. But we have the same fiduciary responsibilities everybody else does. We’re also, I hope, changing the dialogue and changing behavior. We’re looking to offer a different opinion. But over the long cycle, that’s devastating for the company and, if it’s American, probably for the United States as well.ĭo you think you have clout in this debate, given the assets that BlackRock controls? A company can stop R&D and show fabulous short-term results. Often we see companies greatly reduce their capital expenditures and R&D as a result of this short-term focus. But sometimes the end result is a crippled company that has been divested of its best components or has stopped innovating. Well, activists can create benefits in the short run. Is it investing the way it said it would? Is it repaying capital to shareholders? What we’re seeing now is that companies often pivot because of the needs of their short-term investors. If a company gives us a five-year or a 10-year business plan, we can measure throughout the period to see if it’s living up to the plan. At BlackRock we want companies to be more transparent about their long-term strategies so that we can measure them over a long cycle. I wanted to tell them and their boards that there is another voice. So what was the purpose of your letter to the CEOs? And there, if we don’t like the companies’ short-term or long-term strategies, we sell the stock. Unfortunately, that’s built in to an index-you own great companies and lousy companies. That means we have to focus on long-term strategy.īut if you’re index-based, you’re investing in a lot of companies that don’t share these values. With those holdings, we own companies for as long as they’re on the index. Of the $4.8 trillion we manage, $2.7 trillion is in the form of index-based assets. Isn’t BlackRock itself contributing to the short-term investment environment? Society is faced with the immediacy of information, and we’re having a hard time dealing with it. Think about how frequently we look at our phones now for e-mail. But the phenomenon is deeply embedded in society. I assume that the primary driver of short-termism is the metrics we use to measure performance. And it’s hard for CEOs to focus on the long-term needs of their companies, given the short-term demands of many shareholders. In this environment, it’s hard to talk about long-term concepts, such as retirement. Very few people are talking about the long term. The media’s whole business model is predicated on short-termism: What’s happening in Moscow today, or Beijing, or Brooklyn? Why did the market move 0.2%? Banks are the same way: Their business is all about the velocity of money. In this edited interview with HBR’s editor in chief, Adi Ignatius, Fink talks about what motivates his crusade against short-term thinking and what it might take to change the system.įink: I’m trying to change the narrative. A lifelong Democrat, he created waves in April 2015 when he sent a letter to the world’s leading CEOs urging them to ignore their activist shareholders and focus instead on the long-term health of their companies. But what truly sets Fink apart is his desire to change the very financial system that made him who he is.įink speaks out forcefully and often about the perils of short-term thinking, especially on Wall Street-a topic that has already found traction in the early days of the 2016 U.S. And he’s on HBR’s 2015 list of the world’s top-performing CEOs. The 63-year-old former securities trader cofounded and still runs the world’s biggest money-management firm, BlackRock, which controls assets approaching $5 trillion. ![]() Larry Fink is one of the most powerful players in global finance. ![]() Prox圜ommand in ~/.ssh/configĪs with ProxyJump, Prox圜ommand can be set in the ~/.ssh/config file for hosts that always use this configuration: Host remote-host The %h:%p arguments to the -W flag above specify to forward standard in and out to the remote host ( %h) and the remote host’s port ( %p). The Prox圜ommand itself is a specific command used to connect to a remote server-in the case of the earlier example, that would be the manual ssh command used to first connect to the bastion: $ ssh -o Prox圜ommand="ssh -W %h:%p bastion-host" remote-host Prox圜ommand works by forwarding standard in (stdin) and standard out (stdout) from the remote machine through the proxy or bastion hosts. ![]() ProxyJump is the simplified way to use a feature that ssh has had for a long time: Prox圜ommand. An alternative: Forwarding stdin and stdout The ssh command first creates a connection to the bastion host bastion-hostname (the host referenced, by nickname, in the remote host’s ProxyJump settings) before connecting to the remote host. Using the example configuration above, when an ssh connection is made like so: $ ssh remote-host-nickname The -J flag provides flexibiltiy for easily specifying proxy and remote hosts as needed, but if a specific bastion host is regularly used to connect to a specific remote host, the ProxyJump configuration can be set in ~/.ssh/config to automatically make the connection to the bastion en-route to the remote host: # The Bastion Host For example, a public bastion host giving access to a "web tier" set of hosts, within which is a further protected "database tier" group might be accessed. This feature is useful if there are multiple levels of separation between a bastion and the final remote host. The ssh man (or manual) page ( man ssh) notes that multiple, comma-separated hostnames can be specified to jump through a series of hosts: $ ssh -J, ![]() You can also set specific usernames and ports if they differ between the hosts: $ ssh -J To use it, specify the bastion host to connect through after the -J flag, plus the remote host: $ ssh -J The ProxyJump, or the -J flag, was introduced in ssh version 7.3. Instead of first SSHing to the bastion host and then using ssh on the bastion to connect to the remote host, ssh can create the initial and second connections itself by using ProxyJump. The ssh command has an easy way to make use of bastion hosts to connect to a remote host with a single command.
![]() Caleb is revealed to be the driver of the Hummer that wrecked the player's car in Olympic City. Nikki warns them of the consequences of Caleb's plan if he takes over the city's street racing scene.

Six months later, the player boards a plane to Bayview with a good luck note from Samantha that also refers to her friend, Rachel Teller, as well as car key with the name 'Rachel'. A man with a scythe tattoo on his hand calls to confirm that he "took care of a problem". Whilst talking to Samantha on the phone, he is ambushed by a Hummer H2 in a dark alley that blinds him with the headlights, then rams and wrecks his Skyline. Angered, the player immediately hangs up the call and drives to a celebratory party. After winning a race, the player receives a call by an unidentified man with a "invitation" to join his team which is followed with a threat by saying he "is not taking no for an answer". The story begins after the player has beaten Eddie and his street racing gang, "The Eastsiders", along with Melissa in Olympic City and is now revered as the best street racer in Olympic City, now driving a blue Nissan Skyline GT-R. The Nintendo DS port introduces a new feature in which the player can design custom decals to adorn any vehicle in the game. The game's storyline is presented in a comic book strip.

The strong lyrics of guitarist and singer Lou Reed made the music stifling. The album was recorded in New York in one eight-hour session. Andy Warhol spent more time on the cover than on the production of the record. Poor recording techniques did not help sales either. Because of said references to drugs and sex, the album was banned from the radio as well as in many record stores. Critics hated the album and saw it as an elaborate joke from Warhol. The Velvet Underground & Nico addressed highly controversial topics: sexual masochism, prostitution, drug abuse and the enjoyment of heroin. It is one of the most celebrated and ambitious albums of all time. ![]() Under Warhol's watchful eye, The Velvet Underground created a 20th-century classic. Warhol's banana – sexually provocative and at the same time rotten, judging by the brown spots – perfectly sums up the decadent beauty of this album. It was soon replaced by a standard cover, without peelable banana peel. That is why there are only a limited number of copies of this cover in circulation. Someone must have sat there with stacks of albums and hand-glued the yellow banana peel stickers over the pink fruit. A special machine was needed to make the covers, which is one of the reasons for the delayed release of the album. Nowadays, a reasonably good copy is worth at least EUR 1,000.įor Verve Records, however, the banana was a production nightmare. A pink, flesh-colored fruit appeared under the sticker. In case the genital-like shape wasn't provocative enough, Warhol added the invitation: ‘Peel slowly and see’. ![]() The first pressing, with peelable banana peel, is the holy grail among record collectors. The cover was designed by pop artist Andy Warhol. It’s difficult to imagine the world without the cover of The Velvet Underground & Nico, especially for a record collector. |
