So, if you are like me, you scratched your head going, "Where?"
Transnistria, officially known as the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR) and locally as Pridnestrovie,[d] is a landlocked breakaway state internationally recognised as part of Moldova.
Erik Satie wrote seven Gnossiennes. The first is in F minor, and Satie probably composed it in 1890. It was published with two other Gnossiennes in a Paris magazine in 1893. Like his three Gymnopedies of 1888, Satie seems to have created a new genre of piano piece with a title alluding to antiquity. According to the 1865 Larousse dictionary, a Gnossienne was a ritual labyrinth dance created by Theseus when he defeated the Minotaur. But Satie’s involvement in a gnostic religious group (led by Joséphin Péladan who is pictured in the thumbnail), during the time of composition, probably influenced his use of the mysterious title.
Satie’s Gnossiennes are composed without barlines, and have a gently rocking accompaniment in the left hand, with an 'exotic' melody floating above it in the right hand. All the Gnossiennes use modes to create intriguing and mysterious melodic lines. The extraordinary simplicity of the musical texture and syntax belies the prodigious originality of the resulting music. Written before Brahms had composed his late intermezzi, these are fabulously experimental pieces in which the form consists of haunting melodic fragments which circle around without any specific direction or goal. In their circularity and stasis they seem to lay down a challenge to German 19th century dominance: music does not have to be developmental; neither does it have to be goal-directed or hierarchical. It can simply float along and be an evocative mystery. Needless to say, Satie’s music had a huge influence on leading composers of the twentieth century including Debussy, Ravel, Stravinsky, Poulenc and, later on, the American pioneer John Cage.

Lee Iacocca once said, "No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished?"
Chewie gets to spend time with a family that's never seen on screen in any of the other movies. He's done a lot for humanity, but what about his family?
And as Michael J. Fox once said, "Family is not an important thing. It's everything."
Forget that Mojo Nixon said, "Michael J. Fox has no Elvis in him."
There aren't many technical details, but the vulnerability is simple in practice: run a command as a standard user and gain root (administrator) access to the machine. Macs are rarely servers, so the practical impact is limited. However, the exploit remains concerning, as it's relatively easy to trick a user into running it and, with full system control, also hard to find and remove.
"the practical impact is limited." but if it's your Mac...
The site was formerly occupied by several Phelps family residences, one of which was sold to J. P. Morgan in 1880.
1906 - Completed as the private library of the banker J. P. Morgan.
1924 - The library was made a public institution by J. P. Morgan's son John Pierpont Morgan Jr., in accordance with his father's will. Since this time it has seen numerous expansions and renovations.
With European governments bucking Windows, sure, it's likely to have some growth.

I like that the site gives a lot of detail.
Dimensions: Overall: 7/8 x 11/16 x 3/8 in. (2.3 x 1.8 x 0.9 cm) bezel: 1/4 x 1/8 in. (0.6 x 0.3 cm)
So if width is 11/16, that's 0.68 inches, which this calculator puts as a US size 7.
"Roots" was among the first widely read works of fiction to offer a detailed account of the Middle Passage, the horrific transatlantic journey to America endured by enslaved Africans between the 16th and 19th centuries.
"Prior to its release, the impact of slavery was easy to diminish or deny by those that benefited the most from that system," said Annastasia Williams, bookshop director at The Bottom bookstore and cultural organization.

Abstract
When a photon traverses a cloud of atoms without scattering, how much time does it spend as an atomic excitation? To address this question, we used the cross-Kerr effect to weakly probe the degree of atomic excitation caused by a transmitted resonant “signal” photon by measuring the phase shift induced on a (separate, off-resonant) “probe” beam, postselected on cases when the signal photon is transmitted. The time integral of this observed phase shift, properly normalized and averaged over many runs in which the photon is detected after transmission, is the excitation time of interest, in a weak-valued sense. We measured mean atomic excitation times ranging from (−0.82±0.31)𝜏0 for the most narrow band pulse to (0.54±0.28)𝜏0 for the most broadband signal pulse, where 𝜏0 is the non-post-selected excitation time, given by the scattering probability multiplied by the atomic lifetime 𝜏sp . Across a range of pulse durations and optical depths, our results are consistent with the recent theoretical prediction that the weak value of the atomic excitation time caused by a transmitted photon equals the group delay experienced by the light. Our experimental results show that negative times are not limited to describing the shift in the peak of a reshaped wave packet (as resulting from group delay), but they also provide the appropriate description of the weak-valued time the photon spends as an atomic excitation.
Atomic excitation refers to the process where an electron in an atom absorbs energy and moves to a higher energy level or orbit.
