Nov. 19: E. M. Forster (1879-1970)；舒伯特Franz Schubert


Schubert 的忌日。今天補：
"在1977年的BBC Radio 3 每天結束之際，總是放一首美妙的舒伯特Franz Schubert之歌。雖然多不知所云，不過肯定是 beautiful song。"
補寄些相關字眼：
Franz Schubert, Schubertiad/Schubertiade, Schubertian, Schubertiana

今天是Peter Drucker的生日，我在昨天的紀念會上忘記說這段，補上：
Peter Drucker 認為Howards End 一書是 E. M. Forster (1879-1970)的小說中最偉大的，也是20世紀最細緻的英國散文作品。它可以作為英國階級系統的寓言；書中可見維繫社會的禮儀已開始瓦解了。小說中提到的德國表兄妹雖從未露面，但他們的醜陋、驕慢和目中無人的優越感卻是籠罩全書的陰影。 ({旁觀者的時代}，頁253)

The White House has declared a state of emergency after a cyber attack forced the shutdown of a vital U.S. pipeline.

  F.B.I. Identifies Group Behind Pipeline Hack The attack by DarkSide, a relatively new criminal group believed to have roots in Eastern Europe, exposed the vulnerability of key U.S. infrastructure. This is how the Colonial Pipeline became a vital artery for fuel. The White House has declared a state of emergency after a cyber attack forced the shutdown of a vital U.S. pipeline.  Experts said that  gasoline prices are unlikely to be affected  if the pipeline is back to normal in the next few days. But the incident — the worst cyberattack to date on critical U.S. infrastructure — should serve as a wakeup call to companies about the vulnerabilities they face,  says The Associated Press .  【網絡安全】美國最大汽油管道被黑客攻擊 美國最大汽油和柴油管道系統的Colonial Pipeline在受到網絡攻擊後將其系統下線，令美國東部沿海主要城市加油站的成品油供應面臨威脅。Colonial Pipeline已聘請協力廠商網絡安全公司來調查並聯繫執法部門和其他聯邦機構。黑客對關鍵基礎設施的威脅一直在增長，促使白宮制訂計劃來提高公用事業及其供應商的安全性。
