Packages that contain residues of hazardous materials are regulated for transportation in substantially the same way as if they are full. When you receive a delivery of a hazardous material transported in a cargo tank—defined at 49 CFR 171.8 as a bulk packaging intended to carry liquids or gases that is permanently attached to or forms a part of a motor vehicle—you must determine if you are required to provide a shipping paper for the cargo tank when it leaves your facility.
If a cargo tank of hazardous materials is unloaded at your facility—and the carrier remains present and leaves immediately after unloading—the cargo tank remains in transportation. In this scenario, you are a receiving facility that has not performed any pre-transportation functions—and you are not the offeror of the residue shipment. In this scenario, the original shipping paper is sufficient for the return cargo tank shipment because the carrier remained present, the cargo tank remained attached to the vehicle, and the cargo tank is considered to be in transportation and is covered by the active shipping paper throughout the process. In this scenario, it would be prudent for you to ensure that the carrier retains a copy of the original shipping paper when they leave your site.
If a cargo tank is delivered to your facility, it is unloaded without the driver present, and it is then offered at a later time as a residue shipment—it has left transportation. In this scenario, you are the offeror of the hazardous material residue in the cargo tank and you must provide a shipping paper with the return shipment.
There is an exception, however, for the Shipper’s Certification statement on the shipping paper. 49 CFR 172.204(b) states that there is no certification statement required (except for hazardous wastes) for a cargo tank that was supplied by the carrier. | Packages that contain residues of hazardous materials are regulated for transportation in substantially the same way as if they are full .

LEGO Landmarks! Did you know that there are a lot of worldwide landmarks have been recreated in LEGO? Well, they have and it is a wonderful way for LEGO fans to learn all about them.
Take a bit of LEGO, add some incredible architecture, throw in a touch of history and boys will enjoy learning about landmarks and making some of their own.
Using a homeschool unit study to learn about landmarks by using LEGO is easy for you and a lot of fun learning for your boy.
There are so many wonderful landmarks to study and I think a super way to start is to take a look at these resources. Many boys are really into LEGO and enjoy seeing pretty much anything built out of them.
Mix LEGO and learning and you usually have a winning combination.
Let’s get started with Brick City. If you want the best overall source for LEGO Landmarks, Brick City is the book for you.
This book is great and is simply filled with LEGO landmarks from all over the world!
Check out our review of the book and the interview with author Warren Elsmore for additional information.
HomeGrown Learners has a great post on LEGO landmarks. It is always fun for boys to see what other boys are up to with their LEGO. Her son made some really neat creations.
BrickWorm has a Pinterest board with a bunch of awesome LEGO landmark creations.
LEGOParadise has a Mini Buildings of the World series on his YouTube Channel. My son has watched a lot of LEGOParadise videos. Liam does a great job of making some mini creations and giving detailed step-by-step directions for how to make some neat builds.
The video below shows you how to make a mini LEGO Taj Mahal.
LEGO has put out a whole series of building sets based on landmarks called LEGO Architecture. You can find sets such as The Leaning Tower of Pisa, Big Ben, The Eiffel Tower and more. FYI, these are selling out and becoming somewhat collectible so if they put out a set that you like you might want to get it right away.
Web Urbanist is an online site about architecture, art and design. They have a nice article with pictures of historic moments, landmarks and even a few LEGO creations of architecture from Frank Lloyd Wright.
There is also a collection of landmarks on FlickrHiveMind. Hover over the pictures for the name of the landmark. There are some really complex and detailed builds on this site.
MocPages is a place to share your LEGO creations. (MOC stands for “My Own Creation”) You and your boy might want to check this out together. I am linking directly to the LEGO Landmark section.
The site has a huge amount of very cool brick sculptures and creations. MocPages is a fan created site and not sponsored by LEGO. I have not seen anything inappropriate on it but you should check it out yourself.
Somewhere in that section (it keeps moving around) is an old picture of Sean Kenney. He is the one who started MOCPages. You can find our interview with Sean and review of his books by clicking through the links.
If you have more LEGO Landmarks to add please leave me a comment and I will take a look at them. Know a mom with boys who would enjoy this post? Feel free to use the sharing buttons–thanks!
This is awesome! But my heart aches to read the word “boy” so many times, I am using LEGO’s to help home school my girls, and they LOVE them! Couldn’t you have just said “kids” or “children”? My 6 year old daughter has a very logical mind, and I know she would notice that is says “this is for boys”.
I just realized that the site is named BrainPowerBoy (I got here through a pinterest link), feel free to ignore my last comment, I just hate seeing so many things that seem to forget that girls play with LEGO’s too, and they don’t have to be pink to interest girls. So sorry for my comment, I’d remove it if i could figure out how.
No worries. Glad you found out I wrote about boys 🙂 I always love to hear from my readers. No need to feel sorry at all. I happen to agree with you that LEGO could do more than simply adding some LEGO in “girl” colors. I did hear they are coming out with a Female Scientist set, you can see the pin here: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/308989224407216453/ I hope I have answered your concerns. Have a lovely day.
Thanks for mentioning my LEGO Landmarks post! I love all of your resources here!
I think this is a wonderful resource and I’m glad someone is saying what I’ve thought for years!
Can you suggest a science fair project for 6th grade using Legos? | LEGO Landmarks ! Did you know that there are a lot of worldwide landmarks have been recreated in LEGO ? Well , they have and it is a wonderful way for LEGO fans to learn all about them .
Take a bit of LEGO , add some incredible architecture , throw in a touch of history and boys will enjoy learning about landmarks and making some of their own .
Using a homeschool unit study to learn about landmarks by using LEGO is easy for you and a lot of fun learning for your boy .
There are so many wonderful landmarks to study and I think a super way to start is to take a look at these resources . Many boys are really into LEGO and enjoy seeing pretty much anything built out of them .
Mix LEGO and learning and you usually have a winning combination .
Let ’s get started with Brick City . If you want the best overall source for LEGO Landmarks , Brick City is the book for you .
This book is great and is simply filled with LEGO landmarks from all over the world !
Check out our review of the book and the interview with author Warren Elsmore for additional information .
HomeGrown Learners has a great post on LEGO landmarks . It is always fun for boys to see what other boys are up to with their LEGO . Her son made some really neat creations .
BrickWorm has a Pinterest board with a bunch of awesome LEGO landmark creations .
LEGOParadise has a Mini Buildings of the World series on his YouTube Channel . My son has watched a lot of LEGOParadise videos . Liam does a great job of making some mini creations and giving detailed step - by - step directions for how to make some neat builds .
The video below shows you how to make a mini LEGO Taj Mahal .
LEGO has put out a whole series of building sets based on landmarks called LEGO Architecture . You can find sets such as The Leaning Tower of Pisa , Big Ben , The Eiffel Tower and more . FYI , these are selling out and becoming somewhat collectible so if they put out a set that you like you might want to get it right away .
Web Urbanist is an online site about architecture , art and design . They have a nice article with pictures of historic moments , landmarks and even a few LEGO creations of architecture from Frank Lloyd Wright .
There is also a collection of landmarks on FlickrHiveMind . Hover over the pictures for the name of the landmark . There are some really complex and detailed builds on this site .
MocPages is a place to share your LEGO creations . ( MOC stands for “ My Own Creation ” ) You and your boy might want to check this out together . I am linking directly to the LEGO Landmark section .
The site has a huge amount of very cool brick sculptures and creations . MocPages is a fan created site and not sponsored by LEGO . I have not seen anything inappropriate on it but you should check it out yourself .
Somewhere in that section ( it keeps moving around ) is an old picture of Sean Kenney . He is the one who started MOCPages . You can find our interview with Sean and review of his books by clicking through the links .
If you have more LEGO Landmarks to add please leave me a comment and I will take a look at them . Know a mom with boys who would enjoy this post ? Feel free to use the sharing buttons – thanks !
This is awesome ! But my heart aches to read the word “ boy ” so many times , I am using LEGO ’s to help home school my girls , and they LOVE them ! Could n’t you have just said “ kids ” or “ children ” ? My 6 year old daughter has a very logical mind , and I know she would notice that is says “ this is for boys ” .
I just realized that the site is named BrainPowerBoy ( I got here through a pinterest link ) , feel free to ignore my last comment , I just hate seeing so many things that seem to forget that girls play with LEGO ’s too , and they do n’t have to be pink to interest girls . So sorry for my comment , I ’d remove it if i could figure out how .
No worries . Glad you found out I wrote about boys 🙂 I always love to hear from my readers . No need to feel sorry at all . I happen to agree with you that LEGO could do more than simply adding some LEGO in “ girl ” colors . I did hear they are coming out with a Female Scientist set , you can see the pin here : http://www.pinterest.com/pin/308989224407216453/ I hope I have answered your concerns . Have a lovely day .
Thanks for mentioning my LEGO Landmarks post ! I love all of your resources here !
I think this is a wonderful resource and I ’m glad someone is saying what I ’ve thought for years !

Bute’s first team kept their South Division One title bid on course on Saturday with an efficient, if unspectacular, win over Kyles Athletic’s second string in Tighnabruaich.
Robert Walker led the way for the island team with a hat-trick, though it was James Craig who opened the scoring on 16 minutes from Adam Stirling’s corner, his shot taking a slight deflection which deceived Tommy Whyte in the Kyles’ goal.
Robert Walker scored a hat-trick for Bute's first team in their 4-0 win away to Kyles Athletic's second string on October 17.
Walker doubled the visitors’ advantage when he swept home a Duncan Davidson cross five minutes before the break, but Kyles refused to buckle and caused the Bute defence more than a few problems in the second half, with Paddy Mulholland always a danger.
But Walker finally made the points safe 15 minutes from time when he capped Bute’s best passing move of the game with a simple finish, and then proceeded to add the icing to the cake with the day’s final goal less than a minute after the restart.
Bute remain two points adrift of leaders Lochside Rovers, with one game in hand, after the Oban side beat Strachur 2-0 on Saturday.
The promotion battle reaches a climax over the next three weeks: Bute host Strachur on October 24, with Lochside taking on Glenorchy in their final fixture the following week, before Bute have the final say when they take on Oban Celtic away from home on November 7. | Bute ’s first team kept their South Division One title bid on course on Saturday with an efficient , if unspectacular , win over Kyles Athletic ’s second string in Tighnabruaich .

The most exciting development of recent years on ‘The Island’ (as caulkheads call it to all of you overners) is the opening of part of Route 23 of the National Cycling Network which covers the 16 miles from Cowes to Sandown. Built for the most part on disused railway track bed it is flat and traffic free apart from when it traverses Newport, the county town. The views give you a terrific feel for the wide range of landscapes which exist here as well the quiet and tranquillity, though do be warned that apart from the aforementioned Newport there is nowhere along the way to stop for a cuppa. At the time of writing the signing at both ends of the route needs improving but once on the track just relax. And of course once you arrive at Sandown or Cowes you can always go for a swim and an ice cream. There are other flat traffic free cycle routes as well, the best for many, being from Yarmouth to Freshwater. This provides lovely views across the Yarmouth estuary and gives bird watchers great opportunities. Along the route are benches to sit down and enjoy the views. At both ends of the track there are things to do; Freshwater Bay has a beach for a swim or a leisurely climb up on to the Downs and Yarmouth is a picture post card type of a place where you can do a holiday type mooch about and look at the comings and goings in the harbour.
For the more ambitious a round the island route exists. This is 100 km long and is sign posted by a unique set of signs which are different patterns depending on whether your are travelling clock wise or anti clock wise. The route is on a variety of roads but as far as possible takes you away from the more busy roads. This, if done in a day, which many do, is a challenging ride as there are several steep climbs. There is much accommodation along the route as well as things to see so it is quite possible to plan your journey with over night stops. Alternatively distances are relatively short so you could just return to where you are staying. Some of the places which are on the route are Osborne House home of Queen Victoria, Blackgang Chine a theme park and Cowes where there is always some kind of action on the sea as well as a wealth of places to eat though do not expect to be able to pop into the Royal Yacht Squadron for a cup of tea and a piece of cake. The highlight for many is the view from the top of Blackgang looking along the south coast of the Island while one eats a well deserved ice cream.
Off road routes are plenty. The local council is rightly proud of the high level of Rights of Ways and so there are many bridle paths which cyclists can take advantage of as they pass through woodland, over downs or spin gently along in picturesque country side. Parkhurst Forest, near Newport, provides a gentle ride and allows you to look for red squirrels which are present in most woods on the Island. For the more hardy there are the old sheep droves, such as the Tennyson Trail, which criss cross the landscape, many being on the ridges of the downs. The views from the top are spectacular, on a clear day from the downs at Brading or Brighstone it is possible to see both sides of the Island to the coast and the other island just across the narrow strip of the Solent. Some of the climbs can be hard and technical but if you do not possess the stamina or bike you can always push your bike and just enjoy the vistas. And there is always the coming down. Many of these areas are AONB’s once described as Britain’s equivalent of a tropical rain forest. If you literally do move off the beaten track you can understand this as there a myriad of wild flowers and plants, many very small, but worth the effort of just stopping to have a look. The tops of the downs are also great places to have a rest for a picnic and spend time looking at the wildlife and the places down below; so a pair of binoculars are always useful as well as a spare inner tube! For city dwellers there is only one Halfords and it is not on top of the downs.
As well as the advice above it is easy to make up your own route and itinerary. There is a wide range of material available on the web or books, written by locals which are available in various shops.
In such a short space it is difficult to convey all the information about this unique location. Do come and sample its many delights. See if you can find the thatched church, the place where Britain’s rocket test site was and of course the burial place of the last man killed in a duel. | The most exciting development of recent years on ‘ The Island ’ ( as caulkheads call it to all of you overners ) is the opening of part of Route 23 of the National Cycling Network which covers the 16 miles from Cowes to Sandown .

Cries of “no racism, no fear, refugees are welcome here” rang through Belmore Park and Parramatta Road on Sunday afternoon, as the annual Palm Sunday ‘Say Yes to Refugees’ Rally commenced. The crowd gathered to protest the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers in offshore detention centres by the Australian Government.
The main rally began at Belmore Park and made its way to Victoria Park. The USyd Student Contingent gathered at Railway Square at 1 pm, accompanied by students from universities across Sydney.
Speakers at the main rally included Wiradjuri elder Bronwyn Penrith, refugee Shukufa Tahiri, and Reverend John Barr. Many prominent unions, such as the Teachers Union, were also present in the crowd.
The rally has historically been held on Palm Sunday, a day that traditionally marks the beginning of the Holy Week preceding Easter. This year, twenty other rallies have also been being held across Australia this Sunday.
Many speakers urged the crowd, to additionally consider the policies of political parties in the lead up to the upcoming federal election on May 18. | Cries of “ no racism , no fear , refugees are welcome here ” rang through Belmore Park and Parramatta Road on Sunday afternoon , as the annual Palm Sunday ‘ Say Yes to Refugees ’ Rally commenced .

Most people travel to Egypt to see the awe-inspiring pyramids of Giza. Now, I am not one to play this fascinating world heritage site down, for the pyramids truly are out of this world amazing! However as I spent 6 months in Egypt I could give you over a hundred reasons why you should travel to Egypt that you would never even of known about.
But, first of all Egypt needs us, and I want to tell you why.
They are in a bad way and yes, that is due to their own political problems, which (granted) is half their own fault. However, what is actually hurting Egypt even more, is us.
Yep, that’s right, us. We have stopped travelling to Egypt and it’s nobody’s fault but the media. They have scared us into cancelling our flights, choosing other holiday destinations and putting this beautiful country on the back burner. And, we all know what happens when we put things off. They never happen, and do you really never want to see the ancient pyramids of Giza . . .
Because Egypt is not unsafe! I am telling you this because I know, I lived there and even at that time, I was there during the thick of it. When the riots we heard about were at their worst. I can now, as I write this, remember people saying “Oh you’re moving to Egypt, your crazy! That’s a silly idea isn’t it?” And you know what; it was actually quite the opposite. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made, I absolutely loved the place.
I loved it not only because the people are actually nice, but also because for how many great things there are to see in this country. Sure I think everybody should travel to Egypt for the Pyramids of Giza, which are utterly mind blowing. But not only for that, but also for the additional history that goes with how and why those pyramids are even there.
You also have Luxor, which is just south of Egypt’s capital city Cairo. Luxor is also incredibly rich with Egyptian history where you can visit the famous Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, Hatshepsut and Colossus of Menon among many other important and fascinating icons.
However, what I loved most about Egypt and why I even thought to travel to Egypt in the first place was for one state in particular, the South Sinai. The South Sinai is a large state that borders the Red Sea where you can participate in world class scuba diving, which is very, and I mean very cheap! (I worked as a Divemaster there). Or you could even just relax by the beach and snorkel at their marvelous snorkeling sites. The South Sinai also has Mushroom Rock, the White Canyon and Coloured Canyon along with the famous Mt. Sinai.
The monumental Mt Sinai is the mountain Moses climbed up and received the 10 commandments from God. I can also tell you it’s views are nothing short of spectacular and the climb is quite a mission, but that is a different story for a different time.
With all that though, I have barely scrapped the top off of why you should travel to Egypt. However don’t be discouraged by visiting Egypt just because you perceive it to be unsafe, filthy, hot and sandy everywhere. It can be these things in some parts and that too is an important part of witnessing the culture. Although there also are impressive 5 star resorts all the way down to more cost effective budget accommodations that can be found on such travel sites as First Choice.
So quit making excuses just because you believe Egypt is unsafe. Now is the best time to travel to Egypt, there are less tourists, prices on basically everything from flights, accommodation and tours are cheaper now than ever and the country will not disappoint.
My parents, who are quite conservative, even visited me in Dahab (A must visit) for a couple of weeks in March 2013, participating in the touristy things such as Luxor, Mt. Sinai, Pyramids and etc. and even with what protest being on in Tahrir Square they absolutely loved it!
So grab out that bucket list of yours and finally tick off ‘Travel to Egypt to see the pyramids’.
Mate, your picture look amazing I love reading your blog.
Egypt has been high on my list for a while. Things need to calm down more though before we’ll be able to visit.
It’s amazing, and that’s what I am saying Jen. The media has hyped it all up, it is safer than we are lead to believe. You know better than how the media project such instances.
Stunning pictures! I’m glad you had such a great time in Egypt and want to share it! Thanks for posting this!
I’ve been thinking about going there to snorkel, since I’m learning to free dive without bottles. The only problem with Egypt are the scams, the taxi drivers, the sexual harassment (verbal at least) and the fact I’m a solo female traveler … bad combination. Still, I’d love to go there just to enjoy the sea.
Yea you could manage, I mean you are well traveled so you know whats up. Covering up as a foreigner isn’t a major concern and you will get the odd scam, but nothing you can’t look past (India is a million times worse for that).
Hahaha, I always say: If I survived India, I can survive anything! | Most people travel to Egypt to see the awe - inspiring pyramids of Giza .

You also have Luxor , which is just south of Egypt ’s capital city Cairo . Luxor is also incredibly rich with Egyptian history where you can visit the famous Valley of the Kings , Valley of the Queens , Hatshepsut and Colossus of Menon among many other important and fascinating icons .
However , what I loved most about Egypt and why I even thought to travel to Egypt in the first place was for one state in particular , the South Sinai . The South Sinai is a large state that borders the Red Sea where you can participate in world class scuba diving , which is very , and I mean very cheap ! ( I worked as a Divemaster there ) . Or you could even just relax by the beach and snorkel at their marvelous snorkeling sites . The South Sinai also has Mushroom Rock , the White Canyon and Coloured Canyon along with the famous Mt. Sinai .
The monumental Mt Sinai is the mountain Moses climbed up and received the 10 commandments from God . I can also tell you it ’s views are nothing short of spectacular and the climb is quite a mission , but that is a different story for a different time .
With all that though , I have barely scrapped the top off of why you should travel to Egypt . However do n’t be discouraged by visiting Egypt just because you perceive it to be unsafe , filthy , hot and sandy everywhere . It can be these things in some parts and that too is an important part of witnessing the culture . Although there also are impressive 5 star resorts all the way down to more cost effective budget accommodations that can be found on such travel sites as First Choice .
So quit making excuses just because you believe Egypt is unsafe . Now is the best time to travel to Egypt , there are less tourists , prices on basically everything from flights , accommodation and tours are cheaper now than ever and the country will not disappoint .
My parents , who are quite conservative , even visited me in Dahab ( A must visit ) for a couple of weeks in March 2013 , participating in the touristy things such as Luxor , Mt. Sinai , Pyramids and etc . and even with what protest being on in Tahrir Square they absolutely loved it !
So grab out that bucket list of yours and finally tick off ‘ Travel to Egypt to see the pyramids ’ .
Mate , your picture look amazing I love reading your blog .
Egypt has been high on my list for a while . Things need to calm down more though before we ’ll be able to visit .
It ’s amazing , and that ’s what I am saying Jen . The media has hyped it all up , it is safer than we are lead to believe . You know better than how the media project such instances .
Stunning pictures ! I ’m glad you had such a great time in Egypt and want to share it ! Thanks for posting this !
I ’ve been thinking about going there to snorkel , since I ’m learning to free dive without bottles . The only problem with Egypt are the scams , the taxi drivers , the sexual harassment ( verbal at least ) and the fact I ’m a solo female traveler … bad combination . Still , I ’d love to go there just to enjoy the sea .
Yea you could manage , I mean you are well traveled so you know what s up . Covering up as a foreigner is n’t a major concern and you will get the odd scam , but nothing you ca n’t look past ( India is a million times worse for that ) .
Hahaha , I always say : If I survived India , I can survive anything ! | 1,088 | 127 |

I sat down to write this post aware that, this year, so much has already been written and shared about Philippine, with so much more to come. Since the summer we have been building up to celebrating what our Superior General, in her letter for this feast, called the bicentennial of the Society of the Sacred Heart’s courageous decision to live its mission and charism beyond known frontiers. This courageous decision was inspired by today's saint, Philippine Duchesne, who led the little group of five RSCJ who arrived in America in 1818, and whose generosity, openness, tenacity, courage, faith-filled prayer and so much more are becoming the focus and inspiration not only for our personal prayer, but also for our communal reflections about mission and engagement.
The Gospel of grace calls out: nothing can ever separate you from the love of God.
You must be convinced of this, trust it, and never forget to remember. Everything else will pass away, but the love of Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Faith will become vision, hope will become possession, but the love of Jesus Christ that is stronger than death endures forever. In the end it is the one thing you can hang on to.
In the face of difficulties and challenges Philippine held on to her God, held on to the certainty of God's love, and starkly, faithfully, doggedly lived her own Gospel of grace; her own daily infusion of all-conquering grace. Her example reminds and inspires us to do the same, in the midst of our own setbacks and struggles; reminds us, too, that the way of grace isn't only for saints - but it is the material from which saints are made. May we all hear the Gospel of grace calling out, and let its truth permeate our lives. | I sat down to write this post aware that , this year , so much has already been written and shared about Philippine , with so much more to come .

Before Christmas, Supernatural wound up the first half of the season with three solid, if not particularly inspiring, episodes.
In “Plush,” the writers tapped into a childhood fear many of us–including Sam–suffer from, turning a play-object, a dress-up mask, into something terrifying. The boys receive a call from Sheriff Donna Hanscum asking for their help with a case. A man in a large and quite disturbing bunny mask has attacked a man and though they’ve apprehended him, they’ve found it impossible to remove the mask. The Sheriff rightly senses that this is something up the hunters’ alley, and the boys, without any idea on how to deal with their current problem of the Darkness, agree to come take a look.
Sheriff Donna’s instincts are good, it turns out because the violence quickly multiplies as other masked individuals are involved in attacks on two men, and Sam and Dean quickly determine that this is a case of ghost possession. Determining the spirit’s geas is a bit more complicated and leads down a very dark path that has the boys scrambling to save the sister and nephew of the ghost from his vengeance: one involving accusations of sexual abuse of children.
Supernatural is not the first text to make a connection between a disturbing bunny and child molestation. 1985’s Dreamchild gave us an Alice whose memory of her experiences with Lewis Carroll morphed her image of the March Hare into one of the most terrifying spectacles possible in a child’s story. And I wonder if the choice to use a rabbit mask in the first attack might not have been intentionally a link to that film, consciously or unconsciously. Lewis Carroll, like Chester in the episode, was accused (though posthumously in the former case) of inappropriate relations with children, but upon closer examination, most experts have concluded that it is unlikely that the author was guilty of anything sexual with the children with whom he had contact.
Not that the episode isn’t enjoyable. With Briana Buckmaster back as Sheriff Donna, “Plush” was guaranteed to have great moments and they all involve her. It’s a tough character to play. Too much in one direction and her Minnesota-isms and desire to please become annoying; too much in the other and she loses folksy charm that makes her character work as a contrast (the Prairie Home Hunter). Buckmaster always plays it close to the edge but manages to hold it in check by letting the woman underneath—vulnerable but serious about her work and her choices—shine through at just the right moments. She’s now become a barometer, in seasons that are hit and miss, of an episode worth watching.
“Just My Imagination” also deals with childhood, ostensibly from a more positive angle, though this is Supernatural, so that doesn’t last long. In this episode, another old friend turns up asking for help with a case, but he’s a very different kind of friend: Sam’s childhood imaginary friend Sully.
Turns out that imaginary friends are real—they are a race of good beings who guide children (called Zanna)—and someone is bumping them off.
The episode gives us a bit of insight into part of the Winchester brothers’ youth that we’ve never seen: a period when Dean was on the road with his dad and Sam was left behind to fend for himself. Alone, not attending school or given anything else to do but prepare himself to be a hunter, Sam was in need not only of companionship but the kind of guidance a Zanna could offer. And for a while, it seemed that Sully was going to be able to divert him into a more normal life.
Fate unfortunately intervened, taking not only Sam down a certain path, but also starting a tragic cascade in Sully’s life culminating in the murder of his closest friends among the Zanna. Sam and a very sarcastic and reluctant Dean investigate the killings to reveal that sometimes, running away from the pain of one event can lead to even more catastrophic ones further down the road—an idea that will lead nicely into the next episode.
This episode, though was filled with a variety of good elements. The idea of the Zanna themselves are largely a grab from Drop Dead Fred (1991), but as always, the writers on Supernatural are smart enough to source their content (this time through Dean). And like the out-of-control Fred played by Rik Mayall, the Zanna are friends that only a child could truly appreciate (like Weems, the mulleted, laundress and air-guitarist supreme). Their ability to relate sincerely with the kids and yet still interact with each other as adults who know the seriousness of their work felt right and added to their very human quality, Dean’s protestations notwithstanding.
We also got treated to one of the most disturbingly funny scenes ever when Sam, Dean, and Sully investigation the murder scene of Sparkles, the “Manicorn.” The inability of adults to see the Zanna initially hid the carnage, but once revealed, it seemed even the deceased’s blood lived up to his name. When the child’s mother entered and began to tidy up, inadvertently coating herself in the glittery gore of the dead Zanna as the squicked and mostly speechless Winchester’s and Sully watched in horror (the latter’s “She’s got Sparkle on her face” is delivered perfectly by Nate Torrence), the audience squirmed along with them.
Of course, the moral message of “Just My Imagination,” that Sully could not escape his responsibility for the death of one sister or the emotional well-being of the other, that he could not simply run away, was supposed to be a lead-in to “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” And while it was well and sensitively delivered in that episode, it largely fell flat in the latter episode which disappointed.
One of the problems that we have seen in seasons ten and eleven is a fairly substantial one with pacing. One of the strengths of the show is the ability to keep the myth arc moving at an almost frighteningly fast clip even during freak-of-the-week episodes. During this last season and a half, the myth arc has instead slowed to a frustrating crawl with all of season ten eaten up by a storyline that would have taken earlier seasons three to four episodes to accomplish. This season, we have spent 8 episodes building to the conflict here, framed by Sully’s act of heroism in “Just My Imagination”: Will Sam have the courage to re-enter the cage with Lucifer?
Instead, what we get is an episode that reworks what we have already seen a dozen of times in the series, and at least once before with pretty much the same players: a devil’s bargain (almost literally and then absolutely literally) to keep one of the boys from actually sacrificing himself to save humanity between the Winchesters, Crowley, Rowena, and eventually, Lucifer. The surprise, that Sam has not been receiving messages from God but from the “Morning Star,” shouldn’t be anything of the kind to anyone who has been watching the series with even half an eye. Nor should Lucifer’s play for freedom nor Sam‘s refusal to play along.
In fact, the entire exchange is so predictable that it’s hard not to read the body language of Crowley and Rowena, watching from a distance, slumped forward in boredom, as that of the audience.
There is, of course, some tension in what will happen next, in that Sam is now trapped in the cage with Lucifer, and Lucifer clearly has plans for him, but I’d bet even money that he’s merely banking on the predictability of Dean risking Heaven, Hell and everything in between to break his brother out of the cage, thinking he can leverage Sam’s jailbreak to get out himself.
Somewhat more interesting is the still nebulous intentions of Amara. She promises utter bliss for not only Dean but all of humanity while still insisting that everything will be hers and hers alone and that light will be stamped out. Lucifer may be the Prince of Lies, but there’s usually a hint of truth in what he says, and he makes it clear that Amara just isn’t one to deliver like she says she will.
I am sure these will resolve themselves, but given the series track record of late, I don’t expect it to be anytime soon. | Before Christmas , Supernatural wound up the first half of the season with three solid , if not particularly inspiring , episodes .

Especially with rare access to actual source (for reference only) and trees with like 10 sub-folders... I need this!
My company has many branches for the same project... so it gets difficult to move between different version of project and also that is difficult to locate the project folder in SCE to checkin the changes.
Even the "Start Page" shows duplicate name of the project from different branches since those solution names are same... so we need to hover over the name to find the source of that solution.
Please introduce the BOOKMARK BAR for TFS Source Locations.
Thats super necessary. My company have a huge TFS with a lot of branches... takes forever to navigate around.
It would be great o have bookmarks. The tree view gets collapsed all the time and the folders I need to browse are 6 or more levels down. Very frustrating to continuously keep expanding nodes.
The Source Code Explorer view has a drop down list under the toolbar. The list shows the currently selected folder in tree like format. I don't find this very useful since the full tree is right there easily accessible. Could this drop down show the list of recently visited folders the same way as Windows File Explorer does?
This is a great idea! I am getting blisters on my fingers due to all the clicking in Source Control Explorer.
I love this idea! I was just thinking the same thing. We have some projects that are a mismatch of a few different things, and they have to be that way. It would be great to have a bookmark to link to directly what I'm working on. | Especially with rare access to actual source ( for reference only ) and trees with like 10 sub - folders ...

JACKSON — Records show conservative Republican U.S. Senate candidate Chris McDaniel voted as a Democrat in the 2003 state primary.
McDaniel and others question the accuracy of the records and accuse Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, a potential opponent, of using state resources for “opposition research” on McDaniel.
Hosemann denies this and said McDaniel is trying to deflect attention from his voting record.
McDaniel has said he was inspired as a teenager by Ronald Reagan to become a lifelong Republican. Republican Hosemann is thought by many to be waiting in the wings to run for the U.S. Senate seat, should incumbent Thad Cochran not seek re-election.
Computerized voting records kept by the secretary of state’s office show McDaniel voted in the statewide Democratic primary in 2003, and he appears to have not voted in some big Republican elections, including the 2008 GOP presidential/congressional primary.
McDaniel, a Republican state senator from Ellisville in Jones County, says he does not recall voting in such a primary.
On Tuesday, McDaniel’s campaign spokesman Keith Plunkett said it is possible McDaniel voted in the 2003 Democratic primary but only because, back then, most Jones County officials and candidates were Democrats and McDaniel would have wanted to vote for local offices. Plunkett said McDaniel has worked for years to help convince local Jones County officials to switch parties, and now most are Republican.
Jones County Circuit Clerk Bart Gavin said it is possible that clerk’s office workers — before his taking office — keyed wrong information into the statewide computer system listing McDaniel as voting Democratic in the 2003 primary. But the records that would show for sure, poll books from back then, have been destroyed. Clerks are required to keep them for only two years.
Gavin said an employee of the secretary of state showed up at the courthouse in Jones County on Tuesday wanting to view poll books and McDaniel’s voting records. He said the McDaniel campaign had asked him the day before to look up the records, but Monday was a holiday.
Gavin said he hadn’t yet arrived to help the man, and before he did, Hosemann called an election commissioner.
Plunkett said it appears Hosemann was using an employee to do political work at taxpayer expense, which would be a violation of state law.
Hosemann said his employee, Nathan Upchurch, was taking a leave day, and “I don’t keep up with what my employees do on their time off.” He said he did get word at some point that Upchurch was being told the clerk wasn’t there and no one could help him, so he called an election commissioner he knows to see if she could help.
“The real question here is why doesn’t Chris (McDaniel) want people looking at his voting record?” Hosemann said. “When (The Clarion-Ledger) requested the records, I looked at them, and they show he voted Democrat when Haley Barbour, Amy Tuck, Tate Reeves and Stacey Pickering were running in the Republican Primary. They also show he didn’t vote in the presidential election in 2004 — when Bush was running — and didn’t vote in the Republican Primary in 2008.
“His real issue is his voting record, not whether someone was looking at records that are open and available to the public,” Hosemann said. | JACKSON — Records show conservative Republican U.S. Senate candidate Chris McDaniel voted as a Democrat in the 2003 state primary .

interface and internal back office processes. CPT chairman N Ramachandran said the system implemented by TCS at a cost of Rs 13 crore will provide single window facility to the trade for filing applications, receiving bills, payments and enquiries. The project also covers integration with the port community system, which is being implemented by the Indian Port Association. Though CPT will go live from Saturday, the manual functions will continue till March 31. CPT will be a total e-Port from the next financial year. TCS and CPT have almost completed the training of 3300 staff. Once fully functional, it will provide a real time interface with customs, port users, banks and the port community system Mr Ramachandran reckons that by becoming an e-Port, the overall efficiency of the port will go up. At a time when the export-import volumes are down by 7 % due to recession, e-facility will help port to save cost. He expects a 10 % drop in cargo by the end of this fiscal. | interface and internal back office processes .

MCTS Driver Tiffani Lee was driving on Oklahoma Avenue near 110th Street on Friday, April 21, 2017 when she saw a young girl walking alone. As a mother, Tiffani knew something was not right. She pulled over and had the girl get on her bus while she called for help. The entire incident was caught on the on-bus video system.
Tiffani's actions ensured that the lost 5-year old got home safely. Her story spread quickly on social media and number of local news stations talked to Tiffani about the incident.
"That tore me up that week so bad," Cheryl Wentland, the girl's aunt told WISN 12 News.
According to the WISN 12 News story, Wentland said she told her goddaughter that they were going to the mall that day. She said the girl got up early and left her home without telling anyone.
"I promised to get her some shoes that weekend, and I think she had it on her mind, and she always says 'Wait for you by the bus stop,'" Wentland said.
Milwaukee County Transit System bus driver Tiffani Lee drove by the girl and instantly knew something was wrong.
"I'm a parent, so I knew no parent would let their children be outside in that kind of weather with a flip flop and a tennis shoe, no way," Wentland said.
Lee invited the child to warm up on the bus as she called police for help.
A West Allis police officer then walked onto the bus and knelt down to speak with the child.
The little girl told him she was lost and he gently held her hand and walked her home.
Family members said they are forever grateful to both the officer and the bus driver's compassion.
"Thank you (to) that bus driver. Thank you so much. I got my baby back," Wentland said.
The family said the child somehow unlocked the front door and left while her mother and siblings were asleep. | MCTS Driver Tiffani Lee was driving on Oklahoma Avenue near 110th Street on Friday , April 21 , 2017 when she saw a young girl walking alone .

The United States Department of Justice—as expected—has announced it plans to seek extradition of arrested Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou, currently held in Vancouver. The U.S. said during its press conference it was “deeply grateful to the government of Canada” for following the rule of law.
Meng was arrested at Vancouver International Airport in December, during a layover ahead of her final destination in Mexico. The CFO made $10 million bail and currently is staying at one of her Vancouver area mansions.
The arrest of the Huawei CFO has deteriorated Canada-Chinese relations. China retaliated to the arrest by detaining two Canadian men, while sentencing a third Canadian to death, a harsher penalty than originally charged for drug smuggling.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fired Canada’s ambassador to China for speaking publicly to media about the Huawei case, with the latter’s comments favouring Meng’s possible defence against extradition.
Canada’s allies such as the U.S., Australia and New Zealand have banned Huawei equipment for next-generation 5G networks. Canada is under pressure to do the same, despite carriers Telus and Bell working with Huawei for 5G.
A security review of Canada’s 5G network plans are underway from the federal government but the results aren’t expected until later this year. | The United States Department of Justice — as expected — has announced it plans to seek extradition of arrested Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou , currently held in Vancouver .

Dogs of all shapes and sizes love a comfortable place to lie down, and having a great dog pad or mat can make Fido's day. Not only are they great for use as beds, but they can also help dogs who may be experiencing problems with arthritis or other joint conditions. They are also often used in kennels and crates due to their simplicity and soft, cushion-type filling. For pet parents who do lots of traveling with their canines, they are also very useful as travel beds. Being very portable and lightweight, dog pads and mats are also used for eating spots or with puppies as playtime areas.
There are almost as many different types of dog pads and mats as there are dogs themselves. For example, there are water-resistant dog pads that are good for dogs that are outdoors much of the time. Heating and cooling dog pads are very good for wintertime and summertime, respectively. These pads are great at keeping dogs comfortable during most weather conditions, making them an invaluable addition to most homes. For dogs who spend much of their time in kennels or crates, these pads and mats are essential. Dogs that are older and thin or bony will appreciate having a quality pad or mat, so they will have something comfortable to lie down on rather than just the floor.
Another benefit of these dog pads and mats is their ability to let dogs sprawl out and relax, since they are completely flat and have no walls, extra plushness or bolsters to be in the way of dogs who want to kick back and take it easy. A major benefit of these dog pads and mats is their energy efficiency. Constructed in a way to make sure pets are never overheated, they actually help save on energy bills by being made to use the dog's own body heat to keep them warm. By using these pads and mats, owners don't have to worry about using beds that require electricity or batteries to work. Using inner-core insulation and polyester fiber, these dog pads and mats are the perfect spot for man's best friend to take a long nap.

Dog owners know their dogs deserve the best in everything, including what they sleep on. Dog pads and mats offer not only a comfortable place to relax, but also a spot that can be taken along on vacations or trips to the vet. | Dogs of all shapes and sizes love a comfortable place to lie down , and having a great dog pad or mat can make Fido 's day . Not only are they great for use as beds , but they can also help dogs who may be experiencing problems with arthritis or other joint conditions .

For pet parents who do lots of traveling with their canines , they are also very useful as travel beds . Being very portable and lightweight , dog pads and mats are also used for eating spots or with puppies as playtime areas .

Did Shawn Spot a Ghost in Ocean County? Check Out The Photo!
Here are photos for March. Most of the photos I took right here at the Shore. One intriguing thing is in the photo above from West Creek.
If you look in the upper left-hand window of this old home, in the lower left corner, do you see a face? Hmm... just sayin'! The old building is in West Creek and was Cox's General Store and dates back to the mid 1800's. Also, check out the cool bird I captured in the gallery below. After consulting my wildlife expert German Georgieff from the Ocean County Parks Department, it turns out to be a "Black Vulture" which are less common to our area than the "Turkey Vultures" you see so often around Ocean and Monmouth Counties.
Enjoy the photos and left me know your favorite! | Did Shawn Spot a Ghost in Ocean County ? Check Out The Photo !

"Thanks to TFT and London Irish for a fantastic experience, which was enjoyed by the whole family. London Irish are exceptional hosts making the whole day a joy; we had great pitch side seats, lovely food & drink and a reasonably priced parking slot outside the stadium. Absolutely superb day."
"I recently attended the London IrishVs Newcastle game and was as astounded at the quality seat I was given right on the halfway line with great views of all the action. Very many thanks to all at London Irish and I wish them well for the remainder of the season!"
"The day was amazing with stress free travel to the ideally situated Madejski stadium. The atmosphere was magical and exciting for my little men and was amplified by the professional, friendly and helpful attitudes and assistance of all staff at the stadium. Digger, the amazing mascot, came down to our seats and the lads just lit up and had some great photo memories. So all in all the whole day; the stadium, staff, supporters, team and atmosphere proved for an absolutely amazing day out so thank you so much Tickets for Troops and please pass on my heartfelt thanks to your extremely kind donors." | " Thanks to TFT and London Irish for a fantastic experience , which was enjoyed by the whole family .

I have been working very hard to increase my water intake throughout the day and to stop drinking so much Diet Coke. A few drops of Pure, currently I’m drinking the Pomegranate flavor, makes my water very appetizing and before I know it I have drank a full 8- 12 ounces. You can control the amount of flavor by the number of the drops of Pure you put into your water.
I enjoy many of the other flavors of Pure, including the vanilla and the tropical flavor. This is a great gift for anyone needing or wanting to drink more water and very easy to use, whether at home, on the go, or at the assisted living facility. | I have been working very hard to increase my water intake throughout the day and to stop drinking so much Diet Coke .

This is the same state agency that picked up the white former DeKalb Parks director (under Lianne Levitan) when she was replaced and demoted by the Vernon Jones admininstration.
There is a pending lawsuit regarding racial hiring and firing (pending for 5 years) brought by the former white director and three other demoted employees, one black who refused to do Jones’ dirty work.
As reported on this website, the black Parks Director hired by Jones was fired three weeks ago by new CEO Burrell Ellis.
Sure is lots of state Parks Dept personnel news these days, even if only indirectly related.
Or is it indirectly related? Hmmmm..
and now the state appeals court has ruled in favor of the “former white director and 3 other demoted employees”. Imagine that….. reverse discrimination coming from Vernon Jones. Maybe someone at the state agency saw a grave injustice being done to someone because of their color and used their means to right this terrible wrong. Nothing new about that move causeits been happening for 25 years here in Atlanta.
You can bet if the colors were reversed lots of people would be screaming.
And that fact of life doesn’t resort to the color of ones skin to play out.

Just a quick post to show this fun new nail polish I came across. It glows in the dark and has little black bats in it! :D I layered it over an orange polish.
Wow, that's looks fun nail. I can't stand nail vanish or do it as I'm a terrible bitter.
Nice. I need more practice with painting my nails without getting any polish all over my tips and cuticles.
I use a cuticle stick to clean any stray polish off my cuticles as I go along.
That is so adorable. :) What a great find!
That looks amazing. I would love tiny bats on my nails. | Just a quick post to show this fun new nail polish I came across . It glows in the dark and has little black bats in it ! :D I layered it over an orange polish .

Philadelphia Eagles third-string quarterback Nate Sudfeld has seen plenty of action during the first two weeks of the NFL preseason.
In the teams second preseason game, Sudfeld was sharp, completing 22 of his 39 pass attempts for 312 yards and three touchdowns.
The 2016 sixth round pick of the Washington Redskins, now leads all NFL passers this preseason with 452 yards and five touchdowns.
Sudfeld’s has shown the ability to make some big plays and some big throws, and that was on display Thursday night against the Patriots, leading the Eagles to three scoring drives.
"He's really taken some big strides forward," Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said.
"This has been great for him. This off-season, this training camp, he's got a ton of reps obviously with the offense and he's got a lot of playing time with this offense, and especially this last week. He's done some really good things.
On 3rd-and-goal from the Patriots’ four-yard line, Sudfeld found wide-out Shelton Gibson for his first touchdown of the night.
"I thought last week he really settled into the football game against their ones on defense for about a series or so and did some nice things," Pederson said.
On his next scoring drive, Sudfeld led the Eagles on an impressive nine-play, 78-yard drive. He started the drive, completing a 15-yard pass to wide receiver Bryce Treggs and a 22-yard pass to wide-out DeAndre Carter to move Philadelphia up the field.
Completions to wide receiver Shelton Gibson and running back Matt Jones continued the drive, and his 17-yard strike to tight end Richard Rodgers on third-and-10 got the Eagles in the end-zone for the second time.
"You have to understand, and I have to realize too, that this is really his first time, so he's almost like a rookie playing," explained Pederson. "So we're still working through progressions and reads and decision making and all the things that come with young quarterbacks."
His most impressive drive might have been his third touchdown drive, where he engineered a three-play, 85-yard drive, going 3-for-3 with touchdown. He found Greg Ward for 11 yards, rookie tight end Dallas Goedert for 28-yards, and then Rashard Davis for a 31-yard score.
The performance from the former sixth-round pick Sudefeld followed up a promising, yet unproductive debut when he finished 10-of-14 for 104 yards and two touchdowns against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the preseason opener.
"He's very mature," Pederson stated. " He understands exactly our offense and what we're trying to get done. Each week there are some nice gains in his performance."
The way he has preformed so far, should make you feel much better in the event that Carson Wentz isn't ready for the season, or decide to trade Nick Foles. | Philadelphia Eagles third - string quarterback Nate Sudfeld has seen plenty of action during the first two weeks of the NFL preseason .

Much has been written about Oregon’s wine pioneers — who arrived first, when they founded their wineries, when they planted their first vines and when they made their first wine.
Chapter 1, "The Pioneers," documents development of the Oregon wine industry with a special focus on the Yamhill Valley. The aim is not to establish bragging rights, but to provide an at-a-glance chronology of the origins of one of Oregon’s most dynamic and exciting industries.

Tanakh, an Owner's Manual offers both a modern and Orthodox approach to the historical and literary frameworks within which the Hebrew Bible should be learned and appreciated. It covers the authorship of its 24 constituent books, their designation as sacred literature (canonization), the development of the Masoretic text, a survey of classic medieval and modern commentaries, the interaction of traditional exegesis and modern biblical scholarship, and a gradual curriculum for developing biblical literacy and comprehension. It reflects the author's insights as they developed over 40 years of studying and teaching, and will be of interest to teachers, students, and anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the Hebrew Bible.
Moshe Sokolow is the Fanya Gottesfeld-Heller Professor and associate dean of the Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education at Yeshiva University. He has also served as professor of bible at Yeshiva College, Stern College, and the Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies. He is the author of Studies in the Weekly Parashah based on the Lessons of Nehama Leibowitz, and coeditor of The Azrieli Papers, a series of books on contemporary Jewish educational research.
Hayyim Angel is a former Rabbi of Congregation Shearith Israel for 17 years. He teaches Tanakh at Yeshiva University and has published scholarly articles in several collections of essays and in journals such as the Jewish Bible Quarterly, Jewish Thought, Nahalah, and Tradition. He is the author or editor of 11 books.
"Moshe Sokolow is a master educator who has brought his vast knowledge of the traditions of Jewish Bible scholarship, interpretation, and translation into play in this important book. Covering a vast range of critical material from ancient biblical times to the present, it is written in a clear style, reflecting the considerable pedagogic skill of its author."
"Combining quality and clarity, this book could have been written only by a major Bible scholar and a master pedagogue. Dr. Sokolow's engaging work sheds light on how the Tanakh as we know it came to be, how it has been interpreted, and how it may best be taught to contemporary audiences. It is a jewel to be treasured by scholars, teachers, students, and the general reader." | Tanakh , an Owner 's Manual offers both a modern and Orthodox approach to the historical and literary frameworks within which the Hebrew Bible should be learned and appreciated .

From the series 'Once Upon a Time in Delaware/In Search of the Perfect Book' from the 'Sorted Books' project.
This artwork comes framed in a black frame as per the artist's specifications.
Editions 1 - 5 $2,000; Editions 6 - 10 $2,500.
Nina Katchadourian’s Sorted Books project has been ongoing since 1993. The works are presented either as photographs of the book clusters that she deliberately selects from a specific collection, or as the actual stacks themselves shown on the shelves of the library they were drawn from. This work was developed as a result of an invitation that Katchadourian received in 2010 from the Delaware Art Museum to work with the books in their M. G. Sawyer Collection of Decorative Bindings—a collection comprising over 2,000 books that were acquired on the basis of their cover design. It provided her with the chance to examine the culture and history of the United States from approximately 1870 to 1920 through literary genres and book design. This selection of books demonstrates the opportunity for humor and comedy to be found in the otherwise administrative act of ordering and categorizing based on the clever knowingness of Katchadourian’s juxtapositions. | From the series ' Once Upon a Time in Delaware / In Search of the Perfect Book ' from the ' Sorted Books ' project .

Rodrigo scored a hat-trick on his debut as the holders began their qualifying Group 5 campaign with a thumping away victory.
Winners in Denmark during the summer, Spain got the defence of their UEFA European Under-21 Championship title off to an emphatic start in Georgia thanks in part to a hat-trick from debutant Rodrigo.
The SL Benfica striker, a scorer of three goals at the recent FIFA U-20 World Cup, continued his rich vein of form with a 19-minute hat-trick before the break. Isco had set Luis Milla's men on their way inside two minutes and struck his second, La Roja's third, midway through the first half.
A free-kick from Sergio Canales made it 6-0 by half-time, after which the holders eased up somewhat, an own goal from Iñigo Martínez reducing Georgia's arrears on 52 minutes.

What is it with the changing of the calendar that makes people suddenly promise to lose weight or save more money?
They say the reason could be the perceived “unlimited potential of the new year” or the feeling of “starting off with a clean slate.” New year, new you, right? So we keep making “New Year’s resolutions,” a list of things we should be doing and should be changing to become that one perfect specimen worthy of the all the good things life has to offer – or maybe not perfect, but at least a better version of ourselves. But sadly for most people, the items on their list only get carried over to next year, because the novelty fizzles fast by February or March.
A 2015 study by the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania reveals only eight percent of Americans who make New Year’s resolutions successfully achieve their goals. Meanwhile, in 2014, finder.com.au found out that two in every three people don’t succeed with their New Year’s promises, with 80 percent failing in the first three months. These people failed because they set impossible goals (35 percent), didn’t keep track of their progress (33 percent), forgot about it (23 percent) and made too many resolutions (10 percent).
Despite these telling figures, many of us keep making a list before the clock strikes 12; optimistic that the new year brings with it innumerable possibilities. Then we fail, because a list is not like a guaranteed magical transformation; it’s hard work. We try again, and by determination we succeed. Then next year we aim higher.
Against other generations, Gen Y (aged 18-34) or the millennials are said to be the most resolute, with 39 percent achieving success (according to University of Scranton). And 72 percent of them claim that sharing their goals on social media help them achieve and stick to their list (finder.com.au).
So we asked a few Filipino millennials to share their resolutions for 2016 and perhaps to hold them accountable for their list. According to several studies, millennials are more focused on career, relationships and saving money than younger and older generations. Find out if this holds true for these students and young professionals.
“Being a highly-driven millennial, my New Year’s resolutions would be to build more projects and campaigns that will allow me to travel and meet different people, to take more long travels – in places where most people wouldn’t even dare go to – as opposed to short ones to create experiences that are worth remembering, to have bigger savings, to spend more things that really matter: new adventures, health and social life, and to buy more shoes and clothes that would allow me to be more comfortable and will definitely boost my confidence. | What is it with the changing of the calendar that makes people suddenly promise to lose weight or save more money ?

German Chancellor Angela Merkel went to St. Petersburg last week for meetings with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev. The central question on the table was Germany’s position on NATO expansion, particularly with regard to Ukraine and Georgia. Merkel made it clear at a joint press conference that Germany would oppose NATO membership for both of these countries, and that it would even oppose placing the countries on the path to membership. Since NATO operates on the basis of consensus, any member nation can effectively block any candidate from NATO membership.
The fact that Merkel and Germany have chosen this path is of great significance. Merkel acted in full knowledge of the U.S. view on the matter and is prepared to resist any American pressure that might follow. It should be remembered that Merkel might be the most pro-American politician in Germany, and perhaps its most pro-American chancellor in years. Moreover, as an East German, she has a deep unease about the Russians. Reality, however, overrode her personal inclinations. More than other countries, Germany does not want to alienate the United States. But it is in a position to face American pressure should any come.
In one sense, Merkel’s reasons for her stance are simple. Germany is heavily dependent on Russian natural gas. If the supply were cut off, Germany’s situation would be desperate — or at least close enough that the distinction would be academic. Russia might decide it could not afford to cut off natural gas exports, but Merkel is dealing with a fundamental German interest, and risking that for Ukrainian or Georgian membership in NATO is not something she is prepared to do.
She can’t bank on Russian caution in a matter such as this, particularly when the Russians seem to be in an incautious mood. Germany is, of course, looking to alternative sources of energy for the future, and in five years its dependence on Russia might not be nearly as significant. But five years is a long time to hold your breath, and Germany can’t do it.
The German move is not just about natural gas, however. Germany views the U.S. obsession with NATO expansion as simply not in Germany’s interests.
First, expanding NATO guarantees to Ukraine and Georgia is meaningless. NATO and the United States don’t have the military means to protect Ukraine or Georgia, and incorporating them into the alliance would not increase European security. From a military standpoint, NATO membership for the two former Soviet republics is an empty gesture, while from a political standpoint, Berlin sees it as designed to irritate the Russians for no clear purpose.
Next, were NATO prepared to protect Ukraine and Georgia, all NATO countries including Germany would be forced to increase defense expenditures substantially. This is not something that Germany and the rest of NATO want to do.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Germany spent 1945-1992 being the potential prime battleground of the Cold War. It spent 1992-2008 not being the potential prime battleground. Germany prefers the latter, and it does not intend to be drawn into a new Cold War under any circumstances. This has profound implications for the future of both NATO and U.S.-German relations.
Germany is thus in the midst of a strategic crisis in which it must make some fundamental decisions. To understand the decisions Germany has to make, we need to understand the country’s geopolitical problem and the decisions it has made in the past.
Until 1871, Germany was fragmented into dozens of small states — kingdoms, duchies, principalities, etc. — comprising the remnants of the Holy Roman Empire. The German-speaking world was torn apart by internal tensions and the constant manipulation of foreign powers.
The southeastern part of the German-speaking world, Austria, was the center of the multinational Hapsburg Empire. It was Roman Catholic and was continually intruding into the predominantly Catholic regions of the rest of Germany, particularly Bavaria. The French were constantly poaching in the Rhineland and manipulating the balance of power among the German states. Russia was always looming to the east, where it bordered the major Protestant German power, Prussia. (Poland at the time was divided among Prussia, Russia and Austria-Hungary.) Germany was perpetually the victim of great powers, a condition which Prussia spent the roughly half-century between Waterloo and German unification trying to correct.
To unify Germany, Prussia had to do more than dominate the Germans. It had to fight two wars. The first was in 1866 with the Hapsburg Empire, which Prussia defeated in seven weeks, ending Hapsburg influence in Germany and ultimately reducing Austria-Hungary to Germany’s junior partner. The second war was in 1870-1871, when Prussia led a German coalition that defeated France. That defeat ended French influence in the Rhineland and gave Prussia the space in which to create a modern, unified Germany. Russia, which was pleased to see both Austria-Hungary and France defeated and viewed a united Germany as a buffer against another French invasion, did not try to block unification.
German unification changed the dynamic of Europe. First, it created a large nation in the heart of Europe between France and Russia. United, Germany was economically dynamic, and its growth outstripped that of France and the United Kingdom. Moreover, it became a naval power, developing a substantial force that at some point could challenge British naval hegemony. It became a major exporting power, taking markets from Britain and France. And in looking around for room to maneuver, Germany began looking east toward Russia. In short, Germany was more than a nation — it was a geopolitical problem.
Germany’s strategic problem was that if the French and Russians attacked Germany simultaneously, with Britain blockading its ports, Germany would lose and revert to its pre-1871 chaos. Given French, Russian and British interest in shattering Germany, Germany had to assume that such an attack would come. Therefore, since the Germans could not fight on two fronts simultaneously, they needed to fight a war pre-emptively, attacking France or Russia first, defeating it and then turning their full strength on the other — all before Britain’s naval blockade could begin to hurt. Germany’s only defense was a two-stage offense that was as complex as a ballet, and would be catastrophic if it failed.
In World War I, executing the Schlieffen Plan, the Germans attacked France first while trying to simply block the Russians. The plan was to first occupy the channel coast and Paris before the United Kingdom could get into the game and before Russia could fully mobilize, and then to knock out Russia. The plan failed in 1914 at the First Battle of the Marnes, and rather than lightning victory, Germany got bogged down in a multifront war costing millions of lives and lasting years. Even so, Germany almost won the war of attrition, causing the United States to intervene and deprive Berlin of victory.
In World War II, the Germans had learned their lesson, so instead of trying to pin down Russia, they entered into a treaty with the Soviets. This secured Germany’s rear by dividing Poland with the Soviet Union. The Soviets agreed to the treaty, expecting Adolf Hitler’s forces to attack France and bog down as Germany had in World War I. The Soviets would then roll West after the bloodletting had drained the rest of Europe. The Germans stunned the Russians by defeating France in six weeks and then turning on the Russians. The Russian front turned into an endless bloodletting, and once again the Americans helped deliver the final blow.
The consequence of the war was the division of Germany into three parts — an independent Austria, a Western-occupied West Germany and a Soviet-occupied East Germany. West Germany again faced the Russian problem. Its eastern part was occupied, and West Germany could not possibly defend itself on its own. It found itself integrated into an American-dominated alliance system, NATO, which was designed to block the Soviets. West and East Germany would serve as the primary battleground of any Soviet attack, with Soviet armor facing U.S. armor, airpower and tactical nuclear weapons. For the Germans, the Cold War was probably more dangerous than either of the previous wars. Whatever the war’s outcome, Germany stood a pretty good chance of being annihilated if it took place.
On the upside, the Cold War did settle Franco-German tensions, which were half of Germany’s strategic problem. Indeed, one of the by-products of the Cold War was the emergence of the European Community, which ultimately became the European Union. This saw German economic union and integration with France, which along with NATO’s military integration guaranteed economic growth and the end of any military threat to Germany from the west. For the first time in centuries, the Rhine was not at risk. Germany’s south was secure, and once the Soviet Union collapsed, there was no threat from the east, either.
United and Secure at Last?
For the first time in centuries, Germany was both united and militarily secure. But underneath it all, the Germans retained their primordial fear of being caught between France and Russia. Berlin understood that this was far from a mature reality; it was no more than a theoretical problem at the moment. But the Germans also understand how quickly things can change. On one level, the problem was nothing more than the economic emphasis of the European Union compared to the geopolitical focus of Russia. But on a deeper level, Germany was, as always, caught between the potentially competing demands of Russia and the West. Even if the problem were small now, there were no guarantees that it wouldn’t grow.
This was the context in which Germany viewed the Russo-Georgian war in August. Berlin saw not only the United States moving toward a hostile relationship with Russia, but also the United Kingdom and France going down the same path.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who happened to hold the rotating EU presidency at the time, went to Moscow to negotiate a cease-fire on behalf of the European Union. When the Russians seemed unwilling to comply with the terms negotiated, France became highly critical of Russia and inclined to back some sort of sanctions at the EU summit on Georgia. With the United Kingdom being even more adamant, Germany saw a worst-case scenario looming on the distant horizon: It understood that the pleasant security of the post-Cold War world was at an end, and that it had to craft a new national strategy.
From Germany’s point of view, the re-emergence of Russian influence in the former Soviet Union might be something that could have been blocked in the 1990s, but by 2008, it had become inevitable. The Germans saw that economic relations in the former Soviet Union — and not only energy issues — created a complementary relationship between Russia and its former empire. Between natural affinities and Russian power, a Russian sphere of influence, if not a formal structure, was inevitable. It was an emerging reality that could not be reversed.
France has Poland and Germany between itself and Russia. Britain has that plus the English Channel, and the United States has all that plus the Atlantic Ocean. The farther away from Russia one is, the more comfortable one can be challenging Moscow. But Germany has only Poland as a buffer. For any nation serious about resisting Russian power, the first question is how to assure the security of the Baltic countries, a long-vulnerable salient running north from Poland. The answer would be to station NATO forces in the Baltics and in Poland, and Berlin understood that Germany would be both the logistical base for these forces as well as the likely source of troops. But Germany’s appetite for sending troops to Poland and the Baltics has been satiated. This was not a course Germany wanted to take.
We suspect that Merkel knew something else; namely, that all the comfortable assumptions about what was possible and impossible — that the Russians wouldn’t dare attack the Baltics — are dubious in the extreme. Nothing in German history would convince any reasonable German that military action to achieve national ends is unthinkable. Nor are the Germans prepared to dismiss the re-emergence of Russian military power. The Germans had been economically and militarily shattered in 1932. By 1938, they were the major power in Europe. As long as their officer corps and technological knowledge base were intact, regeneration could move swiftly.
The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 and its military power crumbled. But as was the case in Weimar Germany, the Russian officer corps remained relatively intact and the KGB, the heart of the Soviet state, remained intact if renamed. So did the technological base that made the Soviets a global power. As with Germany after both world wars, Russia was in chaos, but its fragments remained, awaiting reconstruction. The Germans were not about to dismiss Russia’s ability to regenerate — they know their own history too well to do that.
If Germany were to join those who call for NATO expansion, the first step toward a confrontation with Russia would have been taken. The second step would be guaranteeing the security of the Baltics and Poland. America would make the speeches, and Germans would man the line. After spending most of the last century fighting or preparing to fight the Russians, the Germans looked around at the condition of their allies and opted out.
The Germans see their economic commitment as being to the European Union. That binds them to the French, and this is not a bond they can or want to break. But the European Union carries no political or military force in relation to the Russians. Beyond economics, it is a debating society. NATO, as an institution built to resist the Russians, is in an advanced state of decay. To resurrect it, the Germans would have to pay a steep economic price. And if they paid that price, they would be carrying much of the strategic risk.
Therefore, Merkel went to St. Petersburg and told the Russians that Germany does not favor NATO expansion. More than that, the Germans at least implicitly told the Russians that they have a free hand in the former Soviet Union as far as Germany is concerned — an assertion that cost Berlin nothing, since the Russians do enjoy a free hand there. But even more critically, Merkel signaled to the Russians and the West that Germany does not intend to be trapped between Western ambitions and Russian power this time. It does not want to recreate the situation of the two world wars or the Cold War, so Berlin will stay close to France economically and also will accommodate the Russians.
The Germans will thus block NATO’s ambitions, something that represents a dramatic shift in the Western alliance. This shift in fact has been unfolding for quite a while, but it took the Russo-Georgian war to reveal the change.
The United States has the option of placing a nuclear umbrella over the Baltics and Eastern Europe, which would guarantee a nuclear strike on Russia in the event of an attack in either place. While this was the guarantee made to Western Europe in the Cold War, it is unlikely that the United States is prepared for global thermonuclear war over Estonia’s fate. Such a U.S. guarantee to the Baltics and Eastern Europe simply would not represent a credible threat.
The other U.S. option is a major insertion of American forces either by sea through Danish waters or via French and German ports and railways, assuming France or Germany would permit their facilities to be used for such a deployment. But this option is academic at the moment. The United States could not deploy more than symbolic forces even if it wanted to. For the moment, NATO is therefore an entity that issues proclamations, not a functioning military alliance, in spite of (or perhaps because of) deployments in Afghanistan.
Everything in German history has led to this moment. The country is united and wants to be secure. It will not play the role it was forced into during the Cold War, nor will it play geopolitical poker as it did in the first and second world wars. And that means NATO is permanently and profoundly broken. The German question now turns into the Russian question: If Germany is out of the game, what is to be done about Russia? | German Chancellor Angela Merkel went to St. Petersburg last week for meetings with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev .

The Germans see their economic commitment as being to the European Union . That binds them to the French , and this is not a bond they can or want to break . But the European Union carries no political or military force in relation to the Russians . Beyond economics , it is a debating society . NATO , as an institution built to resist the Russians , is in an advanced state of decay . To resurrect it , the Germans would have to pay a steep economic price . And if they paid that price , they would be carrying much of the strategic risk .
Therefore , Merkel went to St. Petersburg and told the Russians that Germany does not favor NATO expansion . More than that , the Germans at least implicitly told the Russians that they have a free hand in the former Soviet Union as far as Germany is concerned — an assertion that cost Berlin nothing , since the Russians do enjoy a free hand there . But even more critically , Merkel signaled to the Russians and the West that Germany does not intend to be trapped between Western ambitions and Russian power this time . It does not want to recreate the situation of the two world wars or the Cold War , so Berlin will stay close to France economically and also will accommodate the Russians .
The Germans will thus block NATO ’s ambitions , something that represents a dramatic shift in the Western alliance . This shift in fact has been unfolding for quite a while , but it took the Russo - Georgian war to reveal the change .
The United States has the option of placing a nuclear umbrella over the Baltics and Eastern Europe , which would guarantee a nuclear strike on Russia in the event of an attack in either place . While this was the guarantee made to Western Europe in the Cold War , it is unlikely that the United States is prepared for global thermonuclear war over Estonia ’s fate . Such a U.S. guarantee to the Baltics and Eastern Europe simply would not represent a credible threat .
The other U.S. option is a major insertion of American forces either by sea through Danish waters or via French and German ports and railways , assuming France or Germany would permit their facilities to be used for such a deployment . But this option is academic at the moment . The United States could not deploy more than symbolic forces even if it wanted to . For the moment , NATO is therefore an entity that issues proclamations , not a functioning military alliance , in spite of ( or perhaps because of ) deployments in Afghanistan .
Everything in German history has led to this moment . The country is united and wants to be secure . It will not play the role it was forced into during the Cold War , nor will it play geopolitical poker as it did in the first and second world wars . And that means NATO is permanently and profoundly broken . The German question now turns into the Russian question : If Germany is out of the game , what is to be done about Russia ? | 3,142 | 340 |

The construction industry is booming in Sydney, and employers need to be certain that their workers are the best of the best. If you want your business to stand out amongst the crowd and delight your clients, you’ll need to keep an eye out for a few key qualities amongst your employees.
Don’t risk making the wrong decision and having to replace and re-hire. Advanced Group have put together a list of the top 7 qualities to look for so that your business can succeed. Whether you’re an employer or a skilled construction worker currently searching for a job, you are sure to find this blog post useful.
With deadlines to be met, you need to be confident that your staff have excellent time management skills. Construction sites will invariably experience delays due to changing deadlines, budget issues and availability of resources – but workers who arrive late will only exacerbate the issue.
A great worker maintains awareness of deadlines and arrives on time, every time. The last thing you want is to experience a significant delay with your project due to poor time management from your employees, as this results in unhappy clients and the need to waste time and money finding replacement employees.
Many hands make light work, and it’s important that your employees can work as part of a team. Employees who work effectively within a team will achieve great results and increase morale for everyone working on the project.
Teamwork results in more efficient practices as well as better safety outcomes, as everyone will be keeping an eye out for one another. If you experience a set-back on site, your team will be standing by ready to roll up their sleeves and render assistance.
An effective team will also allow your company to take on extra work with the confidence that you will be able to deliver a great result. It will reduce the need for additional hires, allowing your business to generate extra revenue and remain fully focussed on the task at hand.
Construction workers will need to work with a wide variety of different trades and people at different levels ranging from labourers through to senior managers. You should also make sure that your workers can be trusted to work remotely if required.
Communication is key if you wish to meet deadlines, ensure quality work and improve site safety. Every member of your team should have a strong understanding of English and how to competently and respectfully interact with others.
Site workers should feel free to voice their opinion at any time. An open line of communication will allow any issues to be fixed before they get out of hand, and it will also increase workplace satisfaction and trust.
A good construction worker has demonstrated experience in a variety of projects and keeps abreast of industry news and developments. They need not be experts, but a good general/all-round knowledge should be evident. They should also have in depth knowledge of their chosen trade.
Construction work requires the use of power tools and machinery, so a good working knowledge and experience with these tools is essential.
Construction projects require different materials including cement, glass, electrical wires and much more. Your workers should have experience with a wide range of materials.
Remember, safety is of critical importance and corners should never be cut. Make sure that every team member knows how to use power tools in accordance with best practice. Good construction workers look out for the safety of not only themselves but also other workers on the site.
Issues can arise at any moment, and a good construction worker will deal with them calmly and rationally. Strong problem-solving skills are a must on any work site, and those with this skill will be able to perform tasks more efficiently and require minimal supervision.
Construction projects require attention to detail if they are to stand the test of time. A good construction worker takes pride in their work, always aiming to deliver great results and operating with precision and accuracy always.
Everyone has a skill to offer, from specialist knowledge and experience with certain materials through to a strong understanding of engineer’s drawings and much more. Workers with a keen eye for detail are an asset as they will minimise the risk of mistakes and ensure the job is done to a high standard.
The ability to interpret blueprints is an important skill for any construction site, and this requires excellent analytical, reading and mathematical skills.
Care should also be taken to ensure that hazards are removed as soon as they are noticed. Instead of turning a blind eye, workers should take a proactive approach that will protect the safety of the team.
Now you know the 7 key qualities for success, it’s time to assemble your team. If you’ve been considering Labour Hire to recruit, you might like to check out our recent blog which explains in more detail the benefits of using labour hire rather than hiring yourself. If you’re ready to move ahead, please give our friendly team a call or submit an online enquiry through our website. Rest assured that our team have the skills you need for a job done well.

When should I apply for ESTA?
You can apply for ESTA any time you like but the U.S. government generally recommends people to apply for ESTA 72 hours before their trip. Even though an ESTA can take just minutes or even seconds to be approved, there are some applications that can take the full 72 hours to process. These tend to be applications where the information is unclear or contains mistakes, so make sure to be clear and accurate when filling out your application to avoid delays or paying for a second application.
As your ESTA is valid for 2 years, it is usually a good idea to apply for your ESTA permit when purchasing your tickets. It is always better to complete the application early, in case there are any mistakes or issues that result in you having to reapply, or in case your denied and need to reapply. Click here for more information on why your application could be denied.
If you think that any of the criteria for inadmissibility contained within the Immigration and Nationality Act apply to you, then you should apply for a B1 or B2 visa instead. However, it must be noted that obtaining a visa is generally a much lengthier process than the ESTA. If you want to know more about the differences between an ESTA and a visa then have a look at the relevant page here.
If you’re coming to the U.S. by land either via Canada or Mexico, then you do not need an ESTA permit. The permit is only needed for air or sea travel. However, if you are coming to the U.S. using a personal yacht or personal boat, then you will need a B1 or B2 Visa. On the other hand, if you’re going to the U.S. on a cruise, then you can enter the U.S. using your ESTA.
Bear in mind that an ESTA does not guarantee entry to the U.S., as that decision is dependent on Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The CBP can deny or cancel an ESTA at any point during or before travel. | When should I apply for ESTA ?

A paper, " The Economics of Network Neutrality", by Economics Professor Benjamin Hermalin of the University of California, Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, and co-authored by Nicholas Economides of New York University’s Stern School of Business, examines the proposition that a tiered Internet (i.e. where service providers pay to have their data transported across the network faster) finds that it would actually slow down the overall delivery speed!
Essentially, the authors conclude that paid-for acceleration of the delivery speed of selected content leads to additional congestion because consumers will purchase more of the content that is preferentially delivered and the increased consumption will increase network congestion.
Here's the paper's abstract: "Pricing of Internet access has been characterized by two properties: Parties are directly billed only by the Internet service provider (isp) through which they connect to the Internet and the isp charges them on the basis of the amount of information transmitted rather than its content. These properties define a regime known as “network neutrality.” In 2005, some large isps proposed that application and content providers directly pay them additional fees for accessing the isps’ residential clients, as well as differential fees for prioritizing certain content. We analyze the private and social incentives to introduce such fees when the network is congested and more traffic implies delays. We find that network neutrality is welfare superior to bandwidth subdivision (granting or selling priority service). We also consider the welfare properties of the various regimes that have been proposed as alternatives to network neutrality. In particular, we show that the benefit of a zero-price “slow lane” is a function of the bandwidth the regulator mandates be allocated it. Extending the analysis to consider isps’ incentives to invest in more bandwidth, we show that, under general conditions, their incentives are greatest when they can price discriminate; this investment incentive offsets to some degree the allocative distortion created by the introduction of price discrimination. A priori , it is ambiguous whether the offset is sufficient to justify departing from network neutrality." -- " The Economics of Network Neutrality", by Nicholas Economides and Benjamin E.

I am on record as saying I doubted that humanity as a global population could be saved from certain destruction. I have also stated that the species, Homo sapiens is probably not salvageable in its current form. However, I have also suggested that the salvation of the genus, Homo is both feasible and desirable. Let me briefly recount.
There is at this point, in my opinion, nothing that can be done to save the vast majority of humans alive today from a catastrophic demise. I am sorry. And below I will summarize my findings. The simple truth, as I see it, is that humanity has set itself on an irreversible course of destruction that is equivalent to the impact on the Ecos that the meteor or comet that crashed into the Yucatan peninsula had on the dinosaurian Ecos 65 million years ago. That is, by our activities we have brought about a geologically recognizable age called the Anthropocene in which we are the agents of the extinction of vast numbers of species, including, possibly, our own. Whenever such die-off events have happened in the past the Ecos shifted its characteristics and dynamics such that the extant species either went extinct or gave rise to new species of the same genus that were better adapted to the new Ecos. I fully expect the same kind of thing to happen in the future.
In any case the populations of critters and plants were decimated or severely reduced in number and that is what I suspect will happen to our populations. Homo sapiens must, of necessity, go extinct simply because the future environment will be extraordinarily hostile to human life. The real question is whether the genus might give rise to a new species that is better fit for the new Ecos before the very last member of the tribe extinguishes.
We are in the process of killing ourselves by engaging in an economic model based on ideas that just about everybody accepts as valid and good. What irony. The model that has been held responsible for producing abundant wealth for humankind is also responsible for destroying the life support systems upon which we depend. The problem is one of scale. When there were relatively few humans on the planet their economic activities were not as damaging. They could harvest slowly renewing resources like trees without threatening the forests. They could dump their sewage into rivers that would quickly dilute the toxins to low enough levels that they would not threaten other living things. It was a good model to establish a level of comfort in living that would not do more harm as long as the population numbers did not get out of hand. The problem is that those numbers did get out of hand. The improvements in living standards due to technological innovation made it seem feasible that more and more people could live on the land, but in truth, the extraction rates and pollution rates were accelerating beyond the capacity of the land to sustain us. So now, what was once the source of human success has become the cause of human demise. And very many people do not want to believe that because they have enjoyed benefits from BAU and want to continue to do so. See what I mean by irony?
What I want to do here is summarize the systemic relations that I see as causal factors relevant to the near future dynamics of human existence. I present a series of arguments, somewhat in the form of mathematical or logical propositions that provide “proofs” of the veracity of the arguments, that provide a chain of reasoning leading to this conclusion. These are presented in a way that suggests what might actually be done to maximize the salvation of our kind. But I have no illusions at this point that any of the actions suggested here will be undertaken. As I have written repeatedly (and will be presenting more definitively in an upcoming book) my firm belief is that humanity is not sufficiently sapient (that is the average of sapience is not sufficient) to change its behavior and set of beliefs such that it would actually adopt any of these prescriptions. Yet in the spirit of undaunted hope it can't hurt to at least state the possibilities even if they are unlikely to be regarded. One never knows. I certainly would not claim to know. Maybe something like a miracle will happen!
1. The vast majority of people will have to stop having children. The population cannot grow when the wealth production rate goes to zero and must decline when the rate goes negative, as it must.
The operative variable is a measure of wealth per capita. There exists some lower bound value of wealth per capita that can be defined as necessary for every human being to live at some level of comfort above subsistence (let's call that the “adequate” level). I base this level on the needs for food, shelter, clothing, companionship, and other factors that allow individuals to achieve a modest level of ‘self-actualization’, a condition I believe was part of the Paleolithic condition of humans when sapiens became a dominant species. Assuming a fair distribution such that each person possesses exactly their per capita share of wealth, then the number of people on the planet is limited to the amount of wealth that can be produced.
Claim: Wealth is produced by physical work and requires energy flow (free energy) to accomplish. The amount of wealth produced is proportional to the amount of energy available to do useful work and the amount of raw resources available for extraction.
The total wealth of the world is based on the accumulated wealth produced over the history of the work done less the drain on wealth due to consumption (active degradation of physical objects) and entropic decay (passive degradation) over the same time frame. Growth in wealth is defined as the positive increase in wealth or net wealth of production less degradation per unit of time. In order to maintain a steady state condition the amount of wealth growth must be exactly what is needed to accommodate the population growth over the same time frame.
Wealth derives from work done on natural resources, converting them to usable objects, including food. Among the mix of natural resources used there are those that are finite in availability. Among those most are extracted with greater effort as the supply is depleted (extraction is always per the "best first" principle). Fossil fuels are special cases of energy resources. They are finite in quantity and obey the same diminishing return laws such that the net energy available for work declines as the resource is depleted. That is, it takes more energy per unit of energy extracted and the net energy return declines over time.
Thus the growth of wealth is limited by the marginal cost of extracting resources and the marginal net energy available for extraction and conversion to human use. For example the extraction of iron ore and its conversion to steel is limited by both the depletion of ore and of fossil fuels (usually coal).
There is an upper bound on the total wealth that can ever be produced but no bound on the degradation of wealth. Since the production of wealth will ultimately decline (growth will go to zero) due to the depletion limits a point will be reached when no new wealth can be produced and only degradation will take place.
If the population continues to grow then it is clear that the wealth per capita must decline and do so precipitously when wealth production rates fall below degradation rates.
The current evidence strongly supports the claim that wealth production is now in decline, yet population growth continues. The global economic situation today is a symptom of this decline. It is true that the decline is unevenly distributed throughout the world, giving rise to the illusion that, for example, isolated pockets such as the US economy, are on the mend from the longest and deepest global recession in history. Aside from the fact that most of this illusion is produced by erroneous economic models and government statistics that are biased, the US economy is temporarily seeming to be regaining strength (that is starting to grow!) but the ground truth for millions of households is quite different from the reports trumpeted by the media.
ERGO: The wealth per capita is also in decline and that needed to sustain the adequate level of life support for every individual is already below its lower bound.
This dynamic explains the vast numbers of poor people in the world. There simply isn't enough wealth to go around. Even if we were to redistribute the existing wealth of the world (a Robin Hood action) there would not be enough to support the adequate level of living (or we could redefine adequate to be closer to and approaching subsistence rather than providing some level of comfort and joy). If the population were to continue to grow as projected, say, by the UN demographers, leading to some nine billion individuals by the end of this century, and no energy miracle emerged to compensate for the reduction in fossil fuel availability, then the per capita wealth would likely fall below subsistence. Since distribution is unequal this translates into billions of people starving to death or dying of rampant diseases (not even considering natural disasters).
2. Neoliberal, free-market, profit-driven capitalism (NL-FM-PD-C) can no longer be the operating model of economic life.
Claim: This model requires continual growth of wealth production over time. Even if it were to support the objective of providing a fair distribution of wealth (which it doesn't) it is physically impossible by proposition 1 to sustain this model. The attempt to try to maintain the model under current conditions of depleted resources will cause a cataclysmic collapse of global civilization. Moreover, however, it can be shown that each of the main components of the NL-FM-PD-C model is fundamentally flawed. It is possible that if only one or two were so flawed that the others might contribute to a new economic model that would work. But all of them are flawed and demonstration of this supports proposition 2.
Neoliberal ideology. Humans are supposed to conquer nature and convert the "abundance" of the planet to their uses. Only human satisfaction counts on this planet and that should be maximized. However, not all humans are created equal. Only the worthy elite are entitled to aggregate larger proportions of wealth as long as the working masses have adequate wealth to sustain their lesser lives. Worthiness is based on attributes such as cleverness, ambition, and drive, which are ingredients in producing wealth. Those that are responsible for wealth production are entitled to a larger share of the rewards.
These sentiments favor individualism and ignore contributions from groups or collectivism (the sentiment that the group is the unit of interest). Science, particularly evolutionary psychology and sociology now tell us this is not correct at all. Group selection played a major role in making humans what we are and group efforts and collective decisions are known to be superior to individual efforts and judgments. We humans evolved to be eusocial creatures who are able through interpersonal communications and visibility into one another's minds (our ability to model other's intentions known as ‘Theory of Mind’) is the very thing that make our species fit and produced our superior (biologically speaking) capacity to adapt. We do so in groups not as individuals.
The objectives of neoliberalism based on these sentiments are just plain wrong. However, we should note that humans are not yet evolved to perfect eusociality. Each individual, remaining a biological agent, retains remnants of individualism when pressed and under stress. Capacities for selfishness and even narcissistic tendencies are still part of the human psyche. Amplified by the culture of greed that neoliberal objectives entail, it is possible for observers of human behavior (in economic matters) to wrongly conclude that these qualities are dominant. Indeed some have argued from a misreading of evolution theory that these qualities are what made us successful (e.g. Social Darwinism's reliance on competition and survival of the fittest). Since greed and selfishness play into the neoliberal agenda and became a self-fulfilling prophesy of success in wealth production the narrative of NL-FM-PD-C has become generally accepted and is all too believable for naive minds. Yet it is counter to what science shows us is true for human evolution and the success of human enterprise. It is a myth that is self-reinforcing because it suggests to those who believe it that they have the right (and by implication the prospects) to become rich by virtue of their cleverness and efforts.
Free-market assumptions. Core to the idea of market-based economies is the dictum of laissez faire economic activities, or non-intervention by a higher authority (governments) in economic affairs. It is related to Adam Smith's ‘invisible hand’ metaphor in that individuals guided by self-interests will, nevertheless, cooperate in trade so that everyone is better off. Thus there is no need for governments to regulate those activities. The neoliberal extension holds that if governments do intervene it will distort market information and create biases that will interfere with maximizing wealth.
It should be granted that in historical and contemporary cases where governments have interfered with market mechanisms they have a mixed record of success at best, and too often abject failures. The failures of the communist planned economies are cited by nearly everyone as examples of government ineptitude in meddling in economic activities. And the criticisms are valid up to a point. Those particular experiments in collectivism were based on ignorance and bad judgement. What you cannot conclude from their failures, however, is that markets are totally capable of self-regulation. It simply does not follow from the failures that the NL-FM-PD-C model is therefore the best (and as some claim the only) one for the economy.
In fact I have already delved into the question of whether free markets are really that efficacious in solving all economic problems as is touted by neoclassical economics and neoliberal fundamentalists. Taking the systems perspective and analyzing market mechanisms I concluded in Could Free Markets Solve All Economic Problems that they really can't. There are too many flaws in the conception of free markets to cover here (please read the above post), but basically it comes down to a few basic principles. First exchange markets depend on veridical information in order to balance true costs with prices. Nothing like that exists in the neoliberal version of markets. Their version depends on competition and, therefore, proprietary knowledge that obfuscates true costs. Prices do not necessarily reflect costs (see my comments below re: profits) and therefore the equations of wealth are never balanced realistically.
In neoclassical economics trading decisions are made by rational self-interested agents. Once again science has demonstrated that this assumption is simply not met in the real world. The models of markets foisted by neoclassical economists (and that includes the so-called liberal economists like Paul Krugman) are invalid even before other assumptions are included.
Finally, and as I covered in my blog post linked to above, markets deteriorate with scales of distance and time. They degrade with complexity. Simple network models of market message flows through unreliable (human decision making) nodes clearly demonstrate that the supposed information needed for markets to “clear” declines non-linearly as the number of ‘hops’ through the network increase linearly. Information is supposedly conveyed through prices established by the decisions of buyers and sellers. When these agents are non-rational, non-privileged regarding true cost information, and are at great distances from nodes that are relevant to the value of the good being bought or sold, there is no way that the market can perform magic and get everything right.
These theoretical considerations should be sufficient to put neoliberal, neoclassical thoughts about free markets to rest once and for all. Of course we now know that science will never trump religious beliefs among low sapient individuals, which is what these ideologies are. But what about the actual experience, the evidence from daily life? Shouldn't that count for something? Consider all of the various “bubbles” and scams that have been experienced in virtually every market framework. How could such things happen if markets were truly capable of solving economic problems? Think of Alan Greespan's infamous admission that what he believed about the market place turned out to be wrong. Even with these humble pie crumbs still on his lips, he still persists in asserting that the free market is the solution to all problems. Religious beliefs are very hard to nullify even with clear evidence of contrary reality.
Possibly the single biggest fallacy perpetrated by all economic theories (neoclassical or heterodoxical) is that of “profit”. Not that profits don't actually exist, of course, but that profits need to be made continually over the long run. Profits, in natural systems, are the episodic accumulation of product in excess of production costs that occur because of unusually favorable conditions that do not represent the norm. For example when a wheat farmer has a bumper crop he can readily store the excess (over his use) against a time when crop production is sub-par. Profits can be used in this manner to smooth out the rough spots in the long run in what is otherwise a steady-state dynamic. Up until recently the primary drive for continual profit increases came from business expansion due to the growth of populations and increasing market sizes. More recently that growth has been replaced by the so-called globalization phenomenon that replaces expansion within a region with expansion to other continents; made possible by the use of transportation and fossil fuels. But the real source of profit has always been the increase in energy availability.
Human cultural evolution included the discovery of various energy flow enhancing means, either new sources of more powerful fuels or new tool technologies that increased the efficiency of both energy extraction (e.g. the water wheel) and production (e.g. the belt-driven loom). With these advantages the production of profits seemed to be perpetual. We humans seemed to have transcended the laws of nature and could generally count of making more wealth than we used up or fell apart. Thus we came to believe that profits are always feasible and became a normal part of economic theory. Unfortunately this was a misconception about how nature works. It depended entirely on the growth of energy flow, most recently from fossil fuel sources, to sustain. And energy flows, up until now, were generally always increasing. We humans came to believe deeply that profit making was the normal mode of living and something to be pursued. After all, this is how one gets rich!
But now those pesky laws of nature, in particular the first and second laws of thermodynamics, are demonstrating to us that in the very long run, it all balances out. Profit making is always temporary even if the time scale runs over many generations. We have plenty of historical evidence that is now being more correctly interpreted regarding the collapse of past societies. Namely civilizations, particularly empires, collapsed because they ran out of energy. They could no longer make profits but the momentum of continued expansion (and population growth) required that they did so. All such societies eventually turned to debt-based financing, that is borrowing against future profits when none were going to be made. Essentially they consumed their previously accumulated wealth and the people in the working classes in a desperate attempt to keep the society going. It was always a futile attempt.
Capitalism started out innocently enough. Suppose an enterprising individual (say in the Bronze age) saw a way to possibly make a profit from some new endeavor. He (historically they were generally he's) had to gather together enough resource wealth (capital) to pay for the construction of whatever production facility was needed, and to initially pay the labor. There are any number of ways to get others who have saved some of their prior profits to invest (or loan) the resources needed with the promise that there will be a profit return. They will make more wealth from such a venture than they could have done with any other use of that wealth. In other words, in order to attract capital the entrepreneur had to promise superior profits. Sometimes this didn't work out and people lost their investments. But during the rise of increasing energy flow (which meant the energy input was really cheap and almost not worth considering) and opportunities to freely dump waste products into nature's lap, more often than not, they succeeded.
But as our energy resources now begin to shrink and the pollution of our dumping is overwhelming us it should be clear that the idea of capitalism based on making superior profits was just plain ignorant. It was literally too good to be true.
There is one more assumption that is often closely associated with the whole model and that is that technology will always come to our rescue. Fundamentally this seems true on the face of it. We have always managed to invent our way out of binds in the past, so naturally we assume that we shall be able to do so in the future. Nowhere is this more the case than with energy supply, and in particular, replacing dirty carbon-based fuels with “clean” alternative energy sources such as solar PV and wind power.
The impetus to believe that these technologies are ramping up and are capable of providing sufficient power to society such that it might get along as before (as promulgated in the popular media) is generated by several factors. One is that, as I stated, throughout history we have witnessed inventions transforming our world so have come to expect that will continue to be the case. In particular we witnessed the incredible phenomenon of microelectronics revolutionizing the field of computing and communications, with costs plummeting down as the scales of components shrank (Moore's Law). There is a natural tendency to transfer the ideas of what we've seen in computing to the production of energy. That is, we imagine a technology that will allow us to generate abundant low-cost energy (high power) that will lead to a brighter future. Right now the focus is on solar and wind. Another factor driving our belief is that most of us simply cannot imagine the contrapositive. We cannot believe that all of this magic is going to come to an end. Many of us (actually most of us) are polyannish optimists and absolutely NEED to believe a solution will be found.
But the ability to hold onto such beliefs stems from a basic lack of knowledge regarding, mostly, thermodynamics (the physics of energy) and a deeper understanding of the history of technology and invention. Space doesn't permit a full explanation of why these alternative energy sources are not likely to provide what we are looking for. They may provide a small fraction of power to buy us a bit of time. But eventually when the carbon-sources are no longer viable these technologies will have to be self-sustaining, that is they will have to provide all of the power to rebuild and repair themselves. Not all the data is in, but to date that likelihood is slim. Even if they could, they would still have to produce an excess of power that would be used by the economy for other work. The current belief that efficiencies (for example) will be improving to a point where one day these technologies will provide the power fail to notice the trends in technological innovations, particularly with respect to energy. Most of our past successes have been with increasing efficiencies because the starting points for our machines were so low. Over the past few decades many technologies have been experiencing decreasing rates of improvement. We are approaching the limits of efficiency increases and even where such increases are happening it is with the inclusion of materials that are rare or expensive to make. And that is because it takes significant energy to make or extract them.
Profit desires drove us to increase efficiencies or productivity (the human equivalent) and now profit desire persists even when the possibility of increasing these is declining. Part of the economic system's shift to debt financing is because we still believe that efficiencies must increase and therefore we need to continue to invest in pursuing that agenda. But the reality is that they will not. There will be no great increase in the flow of high-power energy in the future due to technological innovation. There will be no magical increases in efficiencies that defy the laws of physics. Wishes do not make reality. Only nature does that.
ERGO: Profit making will have to go, and with it the notion of free-market capitalism. This is especially the case for rentier profits and investment profits, i.e. making money on money. But all enterprise must convert to non-profit operations. Companies that make useful things or provide necessary services will need to be taken over by employee collectives. The revenues obtained should be just enough to cover costs, including, of course, employees' salaries. Management of such companies would be in the hands of employees and no manager would make a salary much greater than the average worker's.
Such an economy is inconceivable to most people but in truth that is because they have never known any other way and the myth of profit-motivated self-interest has been the societal norm for so long it is hard for anyone to imagine that it could be different. But a non-profit based society is the evolutionary norm for Homo sapiens and under declining energy flows it will be absolutely essential. There is no profit possible other than under conditions of short-term energy surpluses. With those a thing of the past, only non-profit activities can be sustained. And then only if the activity produces something that contributes to productive lives.
3. Replace Globalized NL-FM-PD-C with Localized Collectivist Economies based on Sharing.
Claim: There is a more viable alternative to the current model of socio-economics based on selfishness and self-interest-based decisions. The new model is actually the old model for humans. It is based on cooperation, empathy, and sharing resources and wealth. It is the kind of economy that existed for many millennia before the advent of agriculture. We might call it the “Tribal” model. The model depends on tribes that are fairly local and limited in spatial scope, and therefore manageable. That is they are localized and essentially self-sufficient within their locales. This will be a necessary model.
Scale Considerations. Transportation will be limited in both rate and distance due to the declining availability of long-range fossil fuel vehicles. Machinery power will also be limited. Local production of power (most likely from hydroelectric or alternative energies if they can be shown to be self-sustaining) and limited storage capacities will necessarily limit transportation of goods. Therefore economies localized to regions, defined by the limits of transportation, will need to be crafted. The basics of life, food, shelter, water, etc. will be the main focus of the economy. Clothing, furniture, and other such personal belongings will need to be constructed from locally grown plants and trees. In most respects the only kind of lifestyle that can be supported in a low energy world will resemble small village/town assemblies of the late 1700's and into the 1800's.
Manufacturing and service providing companies will have to be employee-owned and run collectives (as above). All markets will be local. With more people having greater insight into what it takes to build something or provide a service, the value/price setting will be based on costs, including personal labor, rather than merely a market-set one based on whatever that market will bear.
Value Assessment Considerations. A new kind of accounting (or actually a very old kind) that measures value added based on energy used plus a factor for skill would be the basis for setting prices. Markets for goods and services in a localized economy would resemble the old farmer's markets and their scale would be manageable. In such a market buyers and sellers will have adequate knowledge and be able to agree prices more readily.
Cooperativity Considerations. Human beings, when not stressed by over population (density stresses) are more open and empathetic than when they feel they must compete to make ends meet. Cooperation and agreements are much more viable under a localized economic system. However, that economy must be capable of meeting all of the needs of the members. This means settlements, villages, or other living arrangements will need to be situated in habitable locations. Food production must be possible and climate cannot be too severe. It is very likely that there will be very limited choices of locations in the near future. In keeping with the idea that population size will start to shrink, and rapidly, it may be possible to find enough of these locations to satisfy supporting a breeding population in a steady-state condition. That will take permaculture engineering to work out the requirements and design the systems.
Ecos Damage Considerations. The NL-FM-PD-C model is destroying our Ecos. Coupled with the drive to consume, desire for convenience, and power/speed pursuits, we dump CO2 into the atmosphere and oceans causing global warming and ocean acidification that is disrupting the very basis of our ecosystems. The quest for profits drive all manner of chemical pollution and soil deterioration. This alone should condemn the model. Unfortunately there are stubborn minds who's livelihood depends on the extractive and polluting industries for their wealth and who, buying into the model's justification, that it produces wealth, refuse to believe the evidence. Those same minds have gained influence over the governance system so as to prevent any rational response to this situation. But the degree and rate of degradation of our Ecos is directly due to the expansion of the NL-FM-PD-C model over the globe. Moreover, the evidence that we have reached and possibly already exceeded the limits beyond which permanent damage is done has mounted. By some reckoning we have at best a few years to completely reverse our course or drive our planet into another regime, one completely hostile to our existence.
Ergo: There is a better way to live than the global NL-FM-PD-C model. That better way restores the more ancient human traits that emerged when we became sapiens and allows us to live in a cooperative, small scale community. Living in small local communities does not necessarily mean we have to live like cave dwellers with only stone axes and animal skins. It does mean that we will abandon much of the current high-tech material wealth that many consider essential, like iPhonesTM. Our societies may be able to retain some forms of technology that are essential to supporting life, such as water-driven generators for limited electricity. But I suspect when the choice between TV and food is to be made most of us will choose correctly. Wise choices about what technology to maintain and what to give up will need to be made.
4. Reduce Consumption and Production of Non-Essential Goods and Services.
Claim: The only way a new (old) socio-economic system can work is to walk away from the current NL-FM-PD-C one that depends on constant and increasing consumption. What is produced and used should contribute to sustaining the steady-state tribal economy.
By all the arguments given above it should be clear that there is no physical way to sustain a NL-FM-PD-C system. And if you can't you can't. The alternative is to radically reduce our consumption (for those who are consuming) as well as stop growing our population. We will have to give up producing worthless goods or providing worthless services. My guess is that something like 80% of the population will need to be engaged in food growing, processing, and transportation since food is the number one stuff that will be needed. With a declining population there will be no need for new building construction. More work will be put to repairing existing housing or converting some formerly commercial properties into housing for workers.
Bear in mind, however, we are talking not about some monolithic state or government. The only practical way that humans will live in the future is in those localized and limited scale tribes. My speculation is that resources will become so scarce and energy to extract any that might still exist so unavailable that no one group will be able to gain any particular advantage over others. They simply would not be able to manage in the old fashion of expanding empires, and it wouldn't matter how ruthless their leaders might be. No basic (seed) resources, no capacity to wage war and take over others who are, themselves, living in subsistence conditions. This leads to a further speculation that there will be a few of these tribes that are fortunate enough to be led by truly wise individuals. Those few may enjoy higher than average cooperativity internally and thus be more fit as a group to survive the changes that will be in store.
Perhaps for the next several hundred thousand years these tribal humans will be tested by a whole new Ecos. They will live low tech, though not necessarily stone-age, lives. We have learned a lot of science and with the right combination of cleverness and wisdom should be able to live comfortably within nature's limits. As long as we pay careful attention to how the Ecos is changing.
5. Focus on Adaptation to Climate Variations.
Claim: Dramatic, possibly catastrophic, climate change is now baked into the cake and will impact every region to one degree or another. Some areas, like the higher latitudes, will be affected more than others in terms of extreme conditions. But all will suffer climate shifts that lead to more severe storms and changes in rainfall patterns. Humans are going to need every bit of adaptive capability to live under these conditions.
Above all else future humans will need to continually adapt to changing and possibly violent climates. Not unlike the impact of the glaciation periods followed by receding glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere, climate changes are going to significantly stress the biosphere. More so than the Ice Ages, the climate changes our progeny will experience will come more rapidly and be more extreme than our ancestors experienced. Surviving and thriving under these conditions will take every ounce of wisdom that tribes can muster. They are likely to have to be semi-nomadic as growing conditions in an area change. They will have to be super observant of plant characteristics that enable them to grow under otherwise stressful conditions and select those that can be relied upon for food for planting.
Most paleoanthropologists now believe that climate changes due to the Ice Ages were responsible for driving the evolution of hominins in Africa, by changing the local conditions over thousands of years. What now appears to be a large speciation of a number of hominins, especially those events that led to the emergence of our genus, Homo was, to a large degree, driven by these climate impacts. It is conceivable that future climate changes will once again drive the evolution of the genus.
No one can predict evolution's results. However, I think it is possible to observe the major transition patterns that have occurred in prior evolutionary trajectories and make reasonable suppositions about what might come about in the future. Those transitions demonstrate that biology has always found ways for cooperation to emerge and trump mere competition. Our very bodies, as multicellular organisms, are the result of such a transition. Group selection is now favored as an explanation for the evolution of human sociality and I also add to that the evolution of sapience (the two phenomenon are tightly linked, in my view). Tribes were evolving toward stronger eusociality (hyper-sociality) prior to the advent of agriculture and the requisite need for more top-down command and control style management systems with emphasis on logistical and tactical management (and less on strategic management which is the basis of sapient cooperativity). We traded off selection for greater wisdom capacity for food security. It was a reasonable trade off given the state of scientific ignorance we lived in. But it did dampen our potential increase in sapience over the last ten millennia or so.
If it was climate adaptation that drove hominin evolution to the point of producing this emergent new psyche based on sapience, then it might be reasonable to expect that selection based on climate change could once again drive that in the direction of a new transition — human societies based on hyper-social individuals cooperating in an economic system that is not based on profit, competition, etc.
Of course none of us will ever know what will play out. We will all be dead by the time the trends are more evident. My reason for considering these issues is that part of wisdom is using our knowledge, both tacit and explicit, to shape our world as best we can given the circumstances. That is what we have always done with our quest for more energy and our inventiveness. But what we did before we did in ignorance of the consequences. Now we see what those consequences of unfettered growth and profit-taking are. If a few surviving tribes are wise enough they might use that knowledge to reshape our social structures so as to avoid the mistakes we have made along the pathway to our current condition. It is still possible that the changes in climate will be so severe that no humans will survive and our species and genus, the whole Hominini experiment will fail. We will suffer extinction as a whole tribe. Indeed the likelihood of survival of any of the still extant hominin, the great apes, is negligible, so that the planet may end up with no very smart primates at all. But I hope that is not going to be the case.
The solution to Fermi's Paradox may be very simple. The reason that no sentient beings are flitting about Earth in flying saucers is that all such beings reach a point in technological development where their wisdom is insufficient to squelch the advent of the NL-FM-PD-C economic paradigm! The latter takes hold of the minds (like memes) and dooms the species to extinction. They can then never get outside their own star systems to explore their galaxies. If we had to extrapolate from our own experience that certainly looks to be a likely scenario.
A more likely scenario is that all such beings simply exploit their energy reserves before they achieve interstellar propulsion capabilities (assuming such is even possible). It might be because of the NL-FM-PD-C meme taking over or it could be that it simply takes almost all energy just to get to the technological point of getting off the planet and further technological advancement becomes too expensive.
Regardless, I think it is extremely likely that our genus, if it manages to survive the next ten thousand years, will be a long time getting back to a technological level close to what we have today. We won't be exploring the galaxy any time soon. We will be taking a giant leap backwards, resetting our evolutionary progression. And it will be quite a while before a wiser, perhaps smarter, species derived from Homo sapiens will be looking into leaving Earth again.
Actually the relevant measure is not body counts but biomass increase per unit time. The resource consumption rate is dependent on this factor which takes into account things like demographic distribution of ages.
The term is being used here in its ideological sense. The new “liberals” believe in the supremacy of the free-market and capitalism as the very best economic model insofar as it produces enormous wealth. See the Wikipedia article for more details and read Naomi Kline's The Shock Doctrine.
Interestingly luck is never mentioned in this narrative. Yet if you read the biographies of so-called self-made people (mostly white males) you cannot help but note the significance of being in the right place at the right time and meeting the right people had on so many stories. Granted being prepared to take advantage of luck was important, but the luck itself was far more significant than the neoliberal narrative lets on.
The work of psychologists Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman (see: Heuristics and biases) and many experimental economists have decidedly demonstrated that humans, even corporate captains, are far from rational decision makers when it comes to economics.
In Congressional testimony on October 23, 2008, Greenspan finally conceded error on regulation. The New York Times wrote, "a humbled Mr. Greenspan admitted that he had put too much faith in the self-correcting power of free markets and had failed to anticipate the self-destructive power of wanton mortgage lending. ... Mr. Greenspan refused to accept blame for the crisis but acknowledged that his belief in deregulation had been shaken."
By steady-state I mean a system that is in the very long run receiving an average influx of energy that is used to produce exactly the amount of wealth that is needed to balance that degraded by consumption and entropy. This would have been the case for the earliest human tribes whether hunter-gatherers or early farmers.
My favorite analyses of civilization collapses include Joseph Tainter's The Collapse of Complex Societies and Thomas Homer-Dixon's The Upside of Down.
An unskilled worker will tend to use more energy for the same output delivered so the final price has to be adjusted accordingly. The energy being used for measurement purposes is net ‘free’, in the thermodynamic sense, which takes this into account.
I recently became aware of another “flavor” of systems based agriculture called agro-ecology. Though I have only just started investigating this concept it appears to be mostly about food production whereas permaculture addresses more holistic community living.
If you only read one book on any of the issues related to Ecos damage and its relation to the NL-FM-PD-C model I strongly recommend This Changes Everything by Naomi Klein. She has done her homework. I disagree with some of her characterizations of alternative energy being ready to take over from fossil fuels; she has cited a few engineers who produced a grand scheme several years back, reported in Scientific American, that I have already critiqued and has been criticised by a number of other energy researchers. Nevertheless, her ability to connect the dots of finance, ideologies, politics, governance failures, and geophysical realities is in the best tradition of systems thinking.
See: Maynard Smith, John & Szathmáry, Eörs (1995). The Major Transitions in Evolution, Oxford, England: Oxford University Press. Several other books on this topic have been written in the past few years. The field of group-based evolutionary selection is now fairly well established even if there remain some significant questions about the implications.
My own preferred explanation is that they simply don't want to be detected. If they had at all monitored activity on Earth they would more or less likely not want to get involved with such primitive beings as ourselves. | I am on record as saying I doubted that humanity as a global population could be saved from certain destruction . I have also stated that the species , Homo sapiens is probably not salvageable in its current form . However , I have also suggested that the salvation of the genus , Homo is both feasible and desirable . Let me briefly recount .
There is at this point , in my opinion , nothing that can be done to save the vast majority of humans alive today from a catastrophic demise . I am sorry . And below I will summarize my findings . The simple truth , as I see it , is that humanity has set itself on an irreversible course of destruction that is equivalent to the impact on the Ecos that the meteor or comet that crashed into the Yucatan peninsula had on the dinosaurian Ecos 65 million years ago . That is , by our activities we have brought about a geologically recognizable age called the Anthropocene in which we are the agents of the extinction of vast numbers of species , including , possibly , our own . Whenever such die - off events have happened in the past the Ecos shifted its characteristics and dynamics such that the extant species either went extinct or gave rise to new species of the same genus that were better adapted to the new Ecos . I fully expect the same kind of thing to happen in the future .
In any case the populations of critters and plants were decimated or severely reduced in number and that is what I suspect will happen to our populations . Homo sapiens must , of necessity , go extinct simply because the future environment will be extraordinarily hostile to human life . The real question is whether the genus might give rise to a new species that is better fit for the new Ecos before the very last member of the tribe extinguishes .
We are in the process of killing ourselves by engaging in an economic model based on ideas that just about everybody accepts as valid and good . What irony . The model that has been held responsible for producing abundant wealth for humankind is also responsible for destroying the life support systems upon which we depend . The problem is one of scale . When there were relatively few humans on the planet their economic activities were not as damaging . They could harvest slowly renewing resources like trees without threatening the forests . They could dump their sewage into rivers that would quickly dilute the toxins to low enough levels that they would not threaten other living things . It was a good model to establish a level of comfort in living that would not do more harm as long as the population numbers did not get out of hand . The problem is that those numbers did get out of hand . The improvements in living standards due to technological innovation made it seem feasible that more and more people could live on the land , but in truth , the extraction rates and pollution rates were accelerating beyond the capacity of the land to sustain us . So now , what was once the source of human success has become the cause of human demise . And very many people do not want to believe that because they have enjoyed benefits from BAU and want to continue to do so . See what I mean by irony ?
What I want to do here is summarize the systemic relations that I see as causal factors relevant to the near future dynamics of human existence . I present a series of arguments , somewhat in the form of mathematical or logical propositions that provide “ proofs ” of the veracity of the arguments , that provide a chain of reasoning leading to this conclusion . These are presented in a way that suggests what might actually be done to maximize the salvation of our kind . But I have no illusions at this point that any of the actions suggested here will be undertaken . As I have written repeatedly ( and will be presenting more definitively in an upcoming book ) my firm belief is that humanity is not sufficiently sapient ( that is the average of sapience is not sufficient ) to change its behavior and set of beliefs such that it would actually adopt any of these prescriptions . Yet in the spirit of undaunted hope it ca n't hurt to at least state the possibilities even if they are unlikely to be regarded . One never knows . I certainly would not claim to know . Maybe something like a miracle will happen !
1 . The vast majority of people will have to stop having children . The population can not grow when the wealth production rate goes to zero and must decline when the rate goes negative , as it must .
The operative variable is a measure of wealth per capita . There exists some lower bound value of wealth per capita that can be defined as necessary for every human being to live at some level of comfort above subsistence ( let 's call that the “ adequate ” level ) . I base this level on the needs for food , shelter , clothing , companionship , and other factors that allow individuals to achieve a modest level of ‘ self - actualization ’ , a condition I believe was part of the Paleolithic condition of humans when sapiens became a dominant species . Assuming a fair distribution such that each person possesses exactly their per capita share of wealth , then the number of people on the planet is limited to the amount of wealth that can be produced .
Claim : Wealth is produced by physical work and requires energy flow ( free energy ) to accomplish . The amount of wealth produced is proportional to the amount of energy available to do useful work and the amount of raw resources available for extraction .
The total wealth of the world is based on the accumulated wealth produced over the history of the work done less the drain on wealth due to consumption ( active degradation of physical objects ) and entropic decay ( passive degradation ) over the same time frame . Growth in wealth is defined as the positive increase in wealth or net wealth of production less degradation per unit of time . In order to maintain a steady state condition the amount of wealth growth must be exactly what is needed to accommodate the population growth over the same time frame .
Wealth derives from work done on natural resources , converting them to usable objects , including food . Among the mix of natural resources used there are those that are finite in availability . Among those most are extracted with greater effort as the supply is depleted ( extraction is always per the " best first " principle ) . Fossil fuels are special cases of energy resources . They are finite in quantity and obey the same diminishing return laws such that the net energy available for work declines as the resource is depleted . That is , it takes more energy per unit of energy extracted and the net energy return declines over time .
Thus the growth of wealth is limited by the marginal cost of extracting resources and the marginal net energy available for extraction and conversion to human use . For example the extraction of iron ore and its conversion to steel is limited by both the depletion of ore and of fossil fuels ( usually coal ) .
There is an upper bound on the total wealth that can ever be produced but no bound on the degradation of wealth . Since the production of wealth will ultimately decline ( growth will go to zero ) due to the depletion limits a point will be reached when no new wealth can be produced and only degradation will take place .
If the population continues to grow then it is clear that the wealth per capita must decline and do so precipitously when wealth production rates fall below degradation rates .
The current evidence strongly supports the claim that wealth production is now in decline , yet population growth continues . The global economic situation today is a symptom of this decline . It is true that the decline is unevenly distributed throughout the world , giving rise to the illusion that , for example , isolated pockets such as the US economy , are on the mend from the longest and deepest global recession in history . Aside from the fact that most of this illusion is produced by erroneous economic models and government statistics that are biased , the US economy is temporarily seeming to be regaining strength ( that is starting to grow ! ) but the ground truth for millions of households is quite different from the reports trumpeted by the media .
ERGO : The wealth per capita is also in decline and that needed to sustain the adequate level of life support for every individual is already below its lower bound .
This dynamic explains the vast numbers of poor people in the world . There simply is n't enough wealth to go around . Even if we were to redistribute the existing wealth of the world ( a Robin Hood action ) there would not be enough to support the adequate level of living ( or we could redefine adequate to be closer to and approaching subsistence rather than providing some level of comfort and joy ) . If the population were to continue to grow as projected , say , by the UN demographers , leading to some nine billion individuals by the end of this century , and no energy miracle emerged to compensate for the reduction in fossil fuel availability , then the per capita wealth would likely fall below subsistence . Since distribution is unequal this translates into billions of people starving to death or dying of rampant diseases ( not even considering natural disasters ) .
2 . Neoliberal , free - market , profit - driven capitalism ( NL - FM - PD - C ) can no longer be the operating model of economic life .
Claim : This model requires continual growth of wealth production over time . Even if it were to support the objective of providing a fair distribution of wealth ( which it does n't ) it is physically impossible by proposition 1 to sustain this model . The attempt to try to maintain the model under current conditions of depleted resources will cause a cataclysmic collapse of global civilization . Moreover , however , it can be shown that each of the main components of the NL - FM - PD - C model is fundamentally flawed . It is possible that if only one or two were so flawed that the others might contribute to a new economic model that would work . But all of them are flawed and demonstration of this supports proposition 2 .
Neoliberal ideology . Humans are supposed to conquer nature and convert the " abundance " of the planet to their uses . Only human satisfaction counts on this planet and that should be maximized . However , not all humans are created equal . Only the worthy elite are entitled to aggregate larger proportions of wealth as long as the working masses have adequate wealth to sustain their lesser lives . Worthiness is based on attributes such as cleverness , ambition , and drive , which are ingredients in producing wealth . Those that are responsible for wealth production are entitled to a larger share of the rewards .
These sentiments favor individualism and ignore contributions from groups or collectivism ( the sentiment that the group is the unit of interest ) . Science , particularly evolutionary psychology and sociology now tell us this is not correct at all . Group selection played a major role in making humans what we are and group efforts and collective decisions are known to be superior to individual efforts and judgments . We humans evolved to be eusocial creatures who are able through interpersonal communications and visibility into one another 's minds ( our ability to model other 's intentions known as ‘ Theory of Mind ’ ) is the very thing that make our species fit and produced our superior ( biologically speaking ) capacity to adapt . We do so in groups not as individuals .
The objectives of neoliberalism based on these sentiments are just plain wrong . However , we should note that humans are not yet evolved to perfect eusociality . Each individual , remaining a biological agent , retains remnants of individualism when pressed and under stress . Capacities for selfishness and even narcissistic tendencies are still part of the human psyche . Amplified by the culture of greed that neoliberal objectives entail , it is possible for observers of human behavior ( in economic matters ) to wrongly conclude that these qualities are dominant . Indeed some have argued from a misreading of evolution theory that these qualities are what made us successful ( e.g. Social Darwinism 's reliance on competition and survival of the fittest ) . Since greed and selfishness play into the neoliberal agenda and became a self - fulfilling prophesy of success in wealth production the narrative of NL - FM - PD - C has become generally accepted and is all too believable for naive minds . Yet it is counter to what science shows us is true for human evolution and the success of human enterprise . It is a myth that is self - reinforcing because it suggests to those who believe it that they have the right ( and by implication the prospects ) to become rich by virtue of their cleverness and efforts .
Free - market assumptions . Core to the idea of market - based economies is the dictum of laissez faire economic activities , or non - intervention by a higher authority ( governments ) in economic affairs . It is related to Adam Smith 's ‘ invisible hand ’ metaphor in that individuals guided by self - interests will , nevertheless , cooperate in trade so that everyone is better off . Thus there is no need for governments to regulate those activities . The neoliberal extension holds that if governments do intervene it will distort market information and create biases that will interfere with maximizing wealth .
It should be granted that in historical and contemporary cases where governments have interfered with market mechanisms they have a mixed record of success at best , and too often abject failures . The failures of the communist planned economies are cited by nearly everyone as examples of government ineptitude in meddling in economic activities . And the criticisms are valid up to a point . Those particular experiments in collectivism were based on ignorance and bad judgement . What you can not conclude from their failures , however , is that markets are totally capable of self - regulation . It simply does not follow from the failures that the NL - FM - PD - C model is therefore the best ( and as some claim the only ) one for the economy .
In fact I have already delved into the question of whether free markets are really that efficacious in solving all economic problems as is touted by neoclassical economics and neoliberal fundamentalists . Taking the systems perspective and analyzing market mechanisms I concluded in Could Free Markets Solve All Economic Problems that they really ca n't . There are too many flaws in the conception of free markets to cover here ( please read the above post ) , but basically it comes down to a few basic principles . First exchange markets depend on veridical information in order to balance true costs with prices . Nothing like that exists in the neoliberal version of markets . Their version depends on competition and , therefore , proprietary knowledge that obfuscates true costs . Prices do not necessarily reflect costs ( see my comments below re : profits ) and therefore the equations of wealth are never balanced realistically .
In neoclassical economics trading decisions are made by rational self - interested agents . Once again science has demonstrated that this assumption is simply not met in the real world . The models of markets foisted by neoclassical economists ( and that includes the so - called liberal economists like Paul Krugman ) are invalid even before other assumptions are included .
Finally , and as I covered in my blog post linked to above , markets deteriorate with scales of distance and time . They degrade with complexity . Simple network models of market message flows through unreliable ( human decision making ) nodes clearly demonstrate that the supposed information needed for markets to “ clear ” declines non - linearly as the number of ‘ hops ’ through the network increase linearly . Information is supposedly conveyed through prices established by the decisions of buyers and sellers . When these agents are non - rational , non - privileged regarding true cost information , and are at great distances from nodes that are relevant to the value of the good being bought or sold , there is no way that the market can perform magic and get everything right .
These theoretical considerations should be sufficient to put neoliberal , neoclassical thoughts about free markets to rest once and for all . Of course we now know that science will never trump religious beliefs among low sapient individuals , which is what these ideologies are . But what about the actual experience , the evidence from daily life ? Should n't that count for something ? Consider all of the various “ bubbles ” and scams that have been experienced in virtually every market framework . How could such things happen if markets were truly capable of solving economic problems ? Think of Alan Greespan 's infamous admission that what he believed about the market place turned out to be wrong . Even with these humble pie crumbs still on his lips , he still persists in asserting that the free market is the solution to all problems . Religious beliefs are very hard to nullify even with clear evidence of contrary reality .
Possibly the single biggest fallacy perpetrated by all economic theories ( neoclassical or heterodoxical ) is that of “ profit ” . Not that profits do n't actually exist , of course , but that profits need to be made continually over the long run . Profits , in natural systems , are the episodic accumulation of product in excess of production costs that occur because of unusually favorable conditions that do not represent the norm . For example when a wheat farmer has a bumper crop he can readily store the excess ( over his use ) against a time when crop production is sub - par . Profits can be used in this manner to smooth out the rough spots in the long run in what is otherwise a steady - state dynamic . Up until recently the primary drive for continual profit increases came from business expansion due to the growth of populations and increasing market sizes . More recently that growth has been replaced by the so - called globalization phenomenon that replaces expansion within a region with expansion to other continents ; made possible by the use of transportation and fossil fuels . But the real source of profit has always been the increase in energy availability .
Human cultural evolution included the discovery of various energy flow enhancing means , either new sources of more powerful fuels or new tool technologies that increased the efficiency of both energy extraction ( e.g. the water wheel ) and production ( e.g. the belt - driven loom ) . With these advantages the production of profits seemed to be perpetual . We humans seemed to have transcended the laws of nature and could generally count of making more wealth than we used up or fell apart . Thus we came to believe that profits are always feasible and became a normal part of economic theory . Unfortunately this was a misconception about how nature works . It depended entirely on the growth of energy flow , most recently from fossil fuel sources , to sustain . And energy flows , up until now , were generally always increasing . We humans came to believe deeply that profit making was the normal mode of living and something to be pursued . After all , this is how one gets rich !
But now those pesky laws of nature , in particular the first and second laws of thermodynamics , are demonstrating to us that in the very long run , it all balances out . Profit making is always temporary even if the time scale runs over many generations . We have plenty of historical evidence that is now being more correctly interpreted regarding the collapse of past societies . Namely civilizations , particularly empires , collapsed because they ran out of energy . They could no longer make profits but the momentum of continued expansion ( and population growth ) required that they did so . All such societies eventually turned to debt - based financing , that is borrowing against future profits when none were going to be made . Essentially they consumed their previously accumulated wealth and the people in the working classes in a desperate attempt to keep the society going . It was always a futile attempt .
Capitalism started out innocently enough . Suppose an enterprising individual ( say in the Bronze age ) saw a way to possibly make a profit from some new endeavor . He ( historically they were generally he 's ) had to gather together enough resource wealth ( capital ) to pay for the construction of whatever production facility was needed , and to initially pay the labor . There are any number of ways to get others who have saved some of their prior profits to invest ( or loan ) the resources needed with the promise that there will be a profit return . They will make more wealth from such a venture than they could have done with any other use of that wealth . In other words , in order to attract capital the entrepreneur had to promise superior profits . Sometimes this did n't work out and people lost their investments . But during the rise of increasing energy flow ( which meant the energy input was really cheap and almost not worth considering ) and opportunities to freely dump waste products into nature 's lap , more often than not , they succeeded .
But as our energy resources now begin to shrink and the pollution of our dumping is overwhelming us it should be clear that the idea of capitalism based on making superior profits was just plain ignorant . It was literally too good to be true .
There is one more assumption that is often closely associated with the whole model and that is that technology will always come to our rescue . Fundamentally this seems true on the face of it . We have always managed to invent our way out of binds in the past , so naturally we assume that we shall be able to do so in the future . Nowhere is this more the case than with energy supply , and in particular , replacing dirty carbon - based fuels with “ clean ” alternative energy sources such as solar PV and wind power .
The impetus to believe that these technologies are ramping up and are capable of providing sufficient power to society such that it might get along as before ( as promulgated in the popular media ) is generated by several factors . One is that , as I stated , throughout history we have witnessed inventions transforming our world so have come to expect that will continue to be the case . In particular we witnessed the incredible phenomenon of microelectronics revolutionizing the field of computing and communications , with costs plummeting down as the scales of components shrank ( Moore 's Law ) . There is a natural tendency to transfer the ideas of what we 've seen in computing to the production of energy . That is , we imagine a technology that will allow us to generate abundant low - cost energy ( high power ) that will lead to a brighter future . Right now the focus is on solar and wind . Another factor driving our belief is that most of us simply can not imagine the contrapositive . We can not believe that all of this magic is going to come to an end . Many of us ( actually most of us ) are polyannish optimists and absolutely NEED to believe a solution will be found .
But the ability to hold onto such beliefs stems from a basic lack of knowledge regarding , mostly , thermodynamics ( the physics of energy ) and a deeper understanding of the history of technology and invention . Space does n't permit a full explanation of why these alternative energy sources are not likely to provide what we are looking for . They may provide a small fraction of power to buy us a bit of time . But eventually when the carbon - sources are no longer viable these technologies will have to be self - sustaining , that is they will have to provide all of the power to rebuild and repair themselves . Not all the data is in , but to date that likelihood is slim . Even if they could , they would still have to produce an excess of power that would be used by the economy for other work . The current belief that efficiencies ( for example ) will be improving to a point where one day these technologies will provide the power fail to notice the trends in technological innovations , particularly with respect to energy . Most of our past successes have been with increasing efficiencies because the starting points for our machines were so low . Over the past few decades many technologies have been experiencing decreasing rates of improvement . We are approaching the limits of efficiency increases and even where such increases are happening it is with the inclusion of materials that are rare or expensive to make . And that is because it takes significant energy to make or extract them .
Profit desires drove us to increase efficiencies or productivity ( the human equivalent ) and now profit desire persists even when the possibility of increasing these is declining . Part of the economic system 's shift to debt financing is because we still believe that efficiencies must increase and therefore we need to continue to invest in pursuing that agenda . But the reality is that they will not . There will be no great increase in the flow of high - power energy in the future due to technological innovation . There will be no magical increases in efficiencies that defy the laws of physics . Wishes do not make reality . Only nature does that .
ERGO : Profit making will have to go , and with it the notion of free - market capitalism . This is especially the case for rentier profits and investment profits , i.e. making money on money . But all enterprise must convert to non - profit operations . Companies that make useful things or provide necessary services will need to be taken over by employee collectives . The revenues obtained should be just enough to cover costs , including , of course , employees ' salaries . Management of such companies would be in the hands of employees and no manager would make a salary much greater than the average worker 's .
Such an economy is inconceivable to most people but in truth that is because they have never known any other way and the myth of profit - motivated self - interest has been the societal norm for so long it is hard for anyone to imagine that it could be different . But a non - profit based society is the evolutionary norm for Homo sapiens and under declining energy flows it will be absolutely essential . There is no profit possible other than under conditions of short - term energy surpluses . With those a thing of the past , only non - profit activities can be sustained . And then only if the activity produces something that contributes to productive lives .
3 . Replace Globalized NL - FM - PD - C with Localized Collectivist Economies based on Sharing .
Claim : There is a more viable alternative to the current model of socio - economics based on selfishness and self - interest - based decisions . The new model is actually the old model for humans . It is based on cooperation , empathy , and sharing resources and wealth . It is the kind of economy that existed for many millennia before the advent of agriculture . We might call it the “ Tribal ” model . The model depends on tribes that are fairly local and limited in spatial scope , and therefore manageable . That is they are localized and essentially self - sufficient within their locales . This will be a necessary model .
Scale Considerations . Transportation will be limited in both rate and distance due to the declining availability of long - range fossil fuel vehicles . Machinery power will also be limited . Local production of power ( most likely from hydroelectric or alternative energies if they can be shown to be self - sustaining ) and limited storage capacities will necessarily limit transportation of goods . Therefore economies localized to regions , defined by the limits of transportation , will need to be crafted . The basics of life , food , shelter , water , etc . will be the main focus of the economy . Clothing , furniture , and other such personal belongings will need to be constructed from locally grown plants and trees . In most respects the only kind of lifestyle that can be supported in a low energy world will resemble small village / town assemblies of the late 1700 's and into the 1800 's .
Manufacturing and service providing companies will have to be employee - owned and run collectives ( as above ) . All markets will be local . With more people having greater insight into what it takes to build something or provide a service , the value / price setting will be based on costs , including personal labor , rather than merely a market - set one based on whatever that market will bear .
Value Assessment Considerations . A new kind of accounting ( or actually a very old kind ) that measures value added based on energy used plus a factor for skill would be the basis for setting prices . Markets for goods and services in a localized economy would resemble the old farmer 's markets and their scale would be manageable . In such a market buyers and sellers will have adequate knowledge and be able to agree prices more readily .
Cooperativity Considerations . Human beings , when not stressed by over population ( density stresses ) are more open and empathetic than when they feel they must compete to make ends meet . Cooperation and agreements are much more viable under a localized economic system . However , that economy must be capable of meeting all of the needs of the members . This means settlements , villages , or other living arrangements will need to be situated in habitable locations . Food production must be possible and climate can not be too severe . It is very likely that there will be very limited choices of locations in the near future . In keeping with the idea that population size will start to shrink , and rapidly , it may be possible to find enough of these locations to satisfy supporting a breeding population in a steady - state condition . That will take permaculture engineering to work out the requirements and design the systems .
Ecos Damage Considerations . The NL - FM - PD - C model is destroying our Ecos . Coupled with the drive to consume , desire for convenience , and power / speed pursuits , we dump CO2 into the atmosphere and oceans causing global warming and ocean acidification that is disrupting the very basis of our ecosystems . The quest for profits drive all manner of chemical pollution and soil deterioration . This alone should condemn the model . Unfortunately there are stubborn minds who 's livelihood depends on the extractive and polluting industries for their wealth and who , buying into the model 's justification , that it produces wealth , refuse to believe the evidence . Those same minds have gained influence over the governance system so as to prevent any rational response to this situation . But the degree and rate of degradation of our Ecos is directly due to the expansion of the NL - FM - PD - C model over the globe . Moreover , the evidence that we have reached and possibly already exceeded the limits beyond which permanent damage is done has mounted . By some reckoning we have at best a few years to completely reverse our course or drive our planet into another regime , one completely hostile to our existence .
Ergo : There is a better way to live than the global NL - FM - PD - C model . That better way restores the more ancient human traits that emerged when we became sapiens and allows us to live in a cooperative , small scale community . Living in small local communities does not necessarily mean we have to live like cave dwellers with only stone axes and animal skins . It does mean that we will abandon much of the current high - tech material wealth that many consider essential , like iPhonesTM . Our societies may be able to retain some forms of technology that are essential to supporting life , such as water - driven generators for limited electricity . But I suspect when the choice between TV and food is to be made most of us will choose correctly . Wise choices about what technology to maintain and what to give up will need to be made .
4 . Reduce Consumption and Production of Non - Essential Goods and Services .
Claim : The only way a new ( old ) socio - economic system can work is to walk away from the current NL - FM - PD - C one that depends on constant and increasing consumption . What is produced and used should contribute to sustaining the steady - state tribal economy .
By all the arguments given above it should be clear that there is no physical way to sustain a NL - FM - PD - C system . And if you ca n't you ca n't . The alternative is to radically reduce our consumption ( for those who are consuming ) as well as stop growing our population . We will have to give up producing worthless goods or providing worthless services . My guess is that something like 80 % of the population will need to be engaged in food growing , processing , and transportation since food is the number one stuff that will be needed . With a declining population there will be no need for new building construction . More work will be put to repairing existing housing or converting some formerly commercial properties into housing for workers .
Bear in mind , however , we are talking not about some monolithic state or government . The only practical way that humans will live in the future is in those localized and limited scale tribes . My speculation is that resources will become so scarce and energy to extract any that might still exist so unavailable that no one group will be able to gain any particular advantage over others . They simply would not be able to manage in the old fashion of expanding empires , and it would n't matter how ruthless their leaders might be . No basic ( seed ) resources , no capacity to wage war and take over others who are , themselves , living in subsistence conditions . This leads to a further speculation that there will be a few of these tribes that are fortunate enough to be led by truly wise individuals . Those few may enjoy higher than average cooperativity internally and thus be more fit as a group to survive the changes that will be in store .
Perhaps for the next several hundred thousand years these tribal humans will be tested by a whole new Ecos . They will live low tech , though not necessarily stone - age , lives . We have learned a lot of science and with the right combination of cleverness and wisdom should be able to live comfortably within nature 's limits . As long as we pay careful attention to how the Ecos is changing .
5 . Focus on Adaptation to Climate Variations .
Claim : Dramatic , possibly catastrophic , climate change is now baked into the cake and will impact every region to one degree or another . Some areas , like the higher latitudes , will be affected more than others in terms of extreme conditions . But all will suffer climate shifts that lead to more severe storms and changes in rainfall patterns . Humans are going to need every bit of adaptive capability to live under these conditions .
Above all else future humans will need to continually adapt to changing and possibly violent climates . Not unlike the impact of the glaciation periods followed by receding glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere , climate changes are going to significantly stress the biosphere . More so than the Ice Ages , the climate changes our progeny will experience will come more rapidly and be more extreme than our ancestors experienced . Surviving and thriving under these conditions will take every ounce of wisdom that tribes can muster . They are likely to have to be semi - nomadic as growing conditions in an area change . They will have to be super observant of plant characteristics that enable them to grow under otherwise stressful conditions and select those that can be relied upon for food for planting .
Most paleoanthropologists now believe that climate changes due to the Ice Ages were responsible for driving the evolution of hominins in Africa , by changing the local conditions over thousands of years . What now appears to be a large speciation of a number of hominins , especially those events that led to the emergence of our genus , Homo was , to a large degree , driven by these climate impacts . It is conceivable that future climate changes will once again drive the evolution of the genus .
No one can predict evolution 's results . However , I think it is possible to observe the major transition patterns that have occurred in prior evolutionary trajectories and make reasonable suppositions about what might come about in the future . Those transitions demonstrate that biology has always found ways for cooperation to emerge and trump mere competition . Our very bodies , as multicellular organisms , are the result of such a transition . Group selection is now favored as an explanation for the evolution of human sociality and I also add to that the evolution of sapience ( the two phenomenon are tightly linked , in my view ) . Tribes were evolving toward stronger eusociality ( hyper - sociality ) prior to the advent of agriculture and the requisite need for more top - down command and control style management systems with emphasis on logistical and tactical management ( and less on strategic management which is the basis of sapient cooperativity ) . We traded off selection for greater wisdom capacity for food security . It was a reasonable trade off given the state of scientific ignorance we lived in . But it did dampen our potential increase in sapience over the last ten millennia or so .
If it was climate adaptation that drove hominin evolution to the point of producing this emergent new psyche based on sapience , then it might be reasonable to expect that selection based on climate change could once again drive that in the direction of a new transition — human societies based on hyper - social individuals cooperating in an economic system that is not based on profit , competition , etc .
Of course none of us will ever know what will play out . We will all be dead by the time the trends are more evident . My reason for considering these issues is that part of wisdom is using our knowledge , both tacit and explicit , to shape our world as best we can given the circumstances . That is what we have always done with our quest for more energy and our inventiveness . But what we did before we did in ignorance of the consequences . Now we see what those consequences of unfettered growth and profit - taking are . If a few surviving tribes are wise enough they might use that knowledge to reshape our social structures so as to avoid the mistakes we have made along the pathway to our current condition . It is still possible that the changes in climate will be so severe that no humans will survive and our species and genus , the whole Hominini experiment will fail . We will suffer extinction as a whole tribe . Indeed the likelihood of survival of any of the still extant hominin , the great apes , is negligible , so that the planet may end up with no very smart primates at all . But I hope that is not going to be the case .
The solution to Fermi 's Paradox may be very simple . The reason that no sentient beings are flitting about Earth in flying saucers is that all such beings reach a point in technological development where their wisdom is insufficient to squelch the advent of the NL - FM - PD - C economic paradigm ! The latter takes hold of the minds ( like memes ) and dooms the species to extinction . They can then never get outside their own star systems to explore their galaxies . If we had to extrapolate from our own experience that certainly looks to be a likely scenario .
A more likely scenario is that all such beings simply exploit their energy reserves before they achieve interstellar propulsion capabilities ( assuming such is even possible ) . It might be because of the NL - FM - PD - C meme taking over or it could be that it simply takes almost all energy just to get to the technological point of getting off the planet and further technological advancement becomes too expensive .
Regardless , I think it is extremely likely that our genus , if it manages to survive the next ten thousand years , will be a long time getting back to a technological level close to what we have today . We wo n't be exploring the galaxy any time soon . We will be taking a giant leap backwards , resetting our evolutionary progression . And it will be quite a while before a wiser , perhaps smarter , species derived from Homo sapiens will be looking into leaving Earth again .
Actually the relevant measure is not body counts but biomass increase per unit time . The resource consumption rate is dependent on this factor which takes into account things like demographic distribution of ages .
The term is being used here in its ideological sense . The new “ liberals ” believe in the supremacy of the free - market and capitalism as the very best economic model insofar as it produces enormous wealth . See the Wikipedia article for more details and read Naomi Kline 's The Shock Doctrine .
Interestingly luck is never mentioned in this narrative . Yet if you read the biographies of so - called self - made people ( mostly white males ) you can not help but note the significance of being in the right place at the right time and meeting the right people had on so many stories . Granted being prepared to take advantage of luck was important , but the luck itself was far more significant than the neoliberal narrative lets on .
The work of psychologists Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman ( see : Heuristics and biases ) and many experimental economists have decidedly demonstrated that humans , even corporate captains , are far from rational decision makers when it comes to economics .
In Congressional testimony on October 23 , 2008 , Greenspan finally conceded error on regulation . The New York Times wrote , " a humbled Mr. Greenspan admitted that he had put too much faith in the self - correcting power of free markets and had failed to anticipate the self - destructive power of wanton mortgage lending . ... Mr. Greenspan refused to accept blame for the crisis but acknowledged that his belief in deregulation had been shaken . "
By steady - state I mean a system that is in the very long run receiving an average influx of energy that is used to produce exactly the amount of wealth that is needed to balance that degraded by consumption and entropy . This would have been the case for the earliest human tribes whether hunter - gatherers or early farmers .
My favorite analyses of civilization collapses include Joseph Tainter 's The Collapse of Complex Societies and Thomas Homer - Dixon 's The Upside of Down .
An unskilled worker will tend to use more energy for the same output delivered so the final price has to be adjusted accordingly . The energy being used for measurement purposes is net ‘ free ’ , in the thermodynamic sense , which takes this into account .
I recently became aware of another “ flavor ” of systems based agriculture called agro - ecology . Though I have only just started investigating this concept it appears to be mostly about food production whereas permaculture addresses more holistic community living .
If you only read one book on any of the issues related to Ecos damage and its relation to the NL - FM - PD - C model I strongly recommend This Changes Everything by Naomi Klein . She has done her homework . I disagree with some of her characterizations of alternative energy being ready to take over from fossil fuels ; she has cited a few engineers who produced a grand scheme several years back , reported in Scientific American , that I have already critiqued and has been criticised by a number of other energy researchers . Nevertheless , her ability to connect the dots of finance , ideologies , politics , governance failures , and geophysical realities is in the best tradition of systems thinking .
See : Maynard Smith , John & Szathmáry , Eörs ( 1995 ) . The Major Transitions in Evolution , Oxford , England : Oxford University Press . Several other books on this topic have been written in the past few years . The field of group - based evolutionary selection is now fairly well established even if there remain some significant questions about the implications .
My own preferred explanation is that they simply do n't want to be detected . If they had at all monitored activity on Earth they would more or less likely not want to get involved with such primitive beings as ourselves . | 8,270 | 836 |

Before the audience at the Wagon Wheel Theater, Waddy-Thibodeaux transformed herself from a 20th century CEO into the legendary Harriet Tubman and relayed the story of the Underground Railroad, while delivering a message on the importance of literacy. She told the audience the Underground Railroad was "Just people, people helping other people. And don't let nobody tell you no never mind that the Underground Railroad was all colored folks. No, there were Dutch, Portuguese, French, Chinese, Indian, white folks, colored, all of them working together," Waddy-Thibodeaux told the audience through her Harriet Tubman character.
A powerful recital of Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech was also presented by 2nd Lt. Zayana Dennis and there was a musical performance by Pfc. Tamika Torain.
The Baumholder American Middle and High School allowed several students to attend the performance, which was held during school hours. After the performance, Lt. Col. Paul Pfahler, U.S. Army Garrison Baumholder commander, told the students, "This is a better observance today because you're here, and I'd love to see the whole place next time filled with as many of you as we can get out of class, because this right here was education. And, if you didn't learn something today then I'll be surprised.
"Our observance was simple, it was informative, it was effective and it was necessary. It was necessary because America has made huge strides since this time (the era portrayed by Waddy-Thibodeaux in her performance) but we still have a way to go.
"By you being here and by this ceremony taking place, a very small ceremony, it helped make Baumholder a better place to live. It helped make all of us better individuals, and I challenge you each day to remember what you saw here and take that with you for the rest of your days, to not only help make your life better, your community better, but our nation. We're based in diversity. This is what makes us strong and you're all a part of that," said Pfahler. | Before the audience at the Wagon Wheel Theater , Waddy - Thibodeaux transformed herself from a 20th century CEO into the legendary Harriet Tubman and relayed the story of the Underground Railroad , while delivering a message on the importance of literacy .

Work in a holy temple — a sacred hall where patrons can gain a witness of the Atonement of Jesus Christ — is the crown jewel of all the work in the Church, Latter-day Saint leaders said during the 2017 Seminar for New Temple Presidents and Matrons on Oct. 9-12.
“In these sacred houses, you presidents and matrons will be leading the sons and daughters of God, along with their kindred dead, in their preparation to come into the presence of the Lord and dwell with Him in glory forever,” said President Henry B. Eyring, first counselor in the First Presidency.
During the seminar, 36 new temple presidents and matrons gathered in the Salt Lake Temple and other locations and Church headquarters to receive training, counsel and direction before beginning their service.
The Church currently has 157 temples, with 12 under construction and another 13 that have been announced. Temple presidents serve for three years, with new groups starting their service each fall.
President Eyring promised the temple presidents and matrons that the patrons who attend their temple will grow in confidence each time they enter the House of the Lord.
All of our efforts to proclaim the gospel, perfect the Saints, and redeem the dead, lead to the holy temple, President Russell M. Nelson told the temple presidents and matrons. | New temple presidents and matrons participate in family history training during the 2017 Seminar for New Temple Presidents and Matrons , held Oct. 9 - 12 .

Click here to view a mental health video created by North Fayette High School students. Published on May 4, 2015.
"Our High School composed a team of individuals to help bring awareness to the ever growing problem of mental health. We want you to know that you are not alone."
If you are interested in joining this event please contact me via email at borderlineinwaterloo@gmail.com or send me a direct message on Twitter-@bpdinwaterloo. There are interviews with Russ here, here, here, and here.
Stigma refers to negative attitudes (prejudice) and negative behavior (discrimination) toward people with substance use and mental health problems.
Part 1: “Los Angeles’ homelessness crisis is a national disgrace".
We all have attitudes and judgments that affect how we think about and behave toward others. When we talk about negative attitudes and behavior toward others based on their gender, sexual orientation, culture, race or religion, we use the words prejudice and discrimination. So let's call stigma what it really is.
"In Our Own Voice" is a recognized as an effective NAMI program to decrease stigma. Two speakers (persons with mental illness) talk about the following topics: Dark Days, Acceptance, Treatment, Coping skills and Successes, Hopes and Dreams. Contact director@namigdm.org if you would like to schedule a presentation.
Resources and tools which display an effort toward reducing the discrimination against persons with mental illness.
Public service announcements from the "Hope Starts with You" campaign - "Every time a person gives time, energy or support or shares a personal story about a mental condition, there is a ripple effect that we like to call The NAMI Effect,"
How You Can Be Stigma Free?
Everyone knows a little about mental health issues but knowing the facts about mental illness can help you educate others and reject stigmatizing stereotypes. They are not the result of personal weakness, lack of character or poor upbringing. Understanding mental health isn't only about being able to identify symptoms and having a name for these conditions but dispelling many false ideas about mental health conditions as well.
1 in 5 Americans live with a mental health condition and each of them has their own story, path and journey that says more about them than their diagnoses. Whether you live with mental illness or are a friend, family member, care giver or medical professional getting to know a person and treating them with kindness and empathy means far more than just knowing what they are going through.
Promote acceptance and actively challenge social stereotypes. Through powerful words and actions, we will shift the social and systemic barriers for those living with mental health conditions and encourage acceptance and understanding. | Click here to view a mental health video created by North Fayette High School students .

With Momentum Don Diablo gives fans another House hit. This light tune has sampled vocals from Fatboy Slims’ song Right Here, Right Now but features a more updated futuristic sound. It’s the kind of song you want to jam to without necessarily wanting to get too rowdy.
This delightful and airy remix of Illenium’s song Fractures features a slightly slower and calmer version of the original song. The vocals have been slightly lowered and isolated in some areas, and the drop has been lengthened to create a more upbeat song. While both songs are wonderful, each version has a different mood.
It’s been almost one year since Big Gigantic graced us with new music, but The Little things from their album Brighter Future is still a great song. Angela McDluskey’s soulful voice goes perfectly with the drums and saxophone that Big Gigantic is known for. This song makes me long for new Big Gigantic music everytime it plays.
G-Eazy and Dillon Francis create a comical and upbeat song with Say Less. The music videos for the song were hysterical and the song itself is amazing. G-Eazy has a way of rapping so that it’s not hard to follow along with what he’s saying and Dillon Francis creates headbanging drop that keeps you dancing through the songs entirety. The two make an amazing duo. | With Momentum Don Diablo gives fans another House hit .

Tomorrow we will begin pre-selling tickets for TRASH HUMPERS, the new film from HARMONY KORINE. It will be shown on 17.6 and 18.6. He is well known for writing the screenplay KIDS and for his films JULIEN DONKEY-BOY and GUMMO. This is the first time this movie will be show in Germany, and for whatever strange reasons, will not be in any theaters in Germany, so it's a MONSTER RONSON exclusive! Tickets are 10 euros, we will start promply at 9pm. The price includes the afterparty with (on 17.6) STEFAN DREHER (from the band BLUE IN THE FACE) and (18.6) DOLBY ANOL. See it now, or wait to see it on video, if it even comes out on video in Europe!
This weekend is a big singing weekend in Ronson's. On Friday it is karaoke with MARILYN MONGOL and on Saturday MONSTER RONSON will be your kj. All weekend we have ROCKBAND II in the smoking lounge. Imagine the year is 2010 and you step onto the Star Trek holodeck and say you wanna be a rockstar. At this point in time, this is the game you would get! Nothing closer to that rockstar feeling than playing rockband.
By the way, I saw a guy walking down the street with a t-shirt that said, "karaoke war gestern". Does that mean he had a great time in the karaoke bar last night and now has a headache? Or does it mean he thinks karaoke is over? Well, here is the good news.... karaoke is not a fashion, it is here to stay! Just think about it.... karaoke was invented in (opinions differ on the exact year) 1982 and since then it has only grown in popularity. Everyone who tries it gets addicted. So, the password for free entry on friday and saturday is, "1982 forever!" This password is does not apply to bachellor or bachelorettes!!!!! also, nochmal auf deutsch, passwort nicht gultig für junggesellen/in parties!!!! Volle preis für euch.

Every season I like to put a post together featuring all the makeup products I've been getting the most use out of. Here's what has been in my makeup bag as of late.
I won't go into too much detail on this one as I just did a full review on it, you can see that here. It's a great, versatile palette that can be used to create lots of different looks. I've been using shade 6 (top row, right) and 7 (bottom row, left) the most.
This has been my everyday base for the last couple of months, I don't really need a full on foundation everyday and this feels so much more comfortable on the skin. It's really lightweight and contains SPF 50!
I tap this onto my dark circles with my finger as it covers them without feeling too heavy, it also really brightens up my face and makes me look more awake.
This one is quite a recent purchase but I've not stopped using it since I got it, it's a very flattering peachy pink shade in a cream formula that works well on both lips and cheeks. I do love a good multitasker!
I've been mentioning this lipbalm/lipstick hybrid a lot recently, you can see what it looks like on here. It's been living in my handbag for when I need to add a bit of colour to my look.
I love the taste/smell of mangoes so this lip balm was bound to go down well with me. The formula is super moisturising and it doesn't leave a pale cast on the lips.
I do love a good highlighter and lately I've been going for liquid formulas over powder. This one sits somewhere in between champagne and gold and manages to bring a bit of life back into the face while still looking subtle.
What's been in you makeup bag lately?
I love Cha Cha tint too, I almost included it in this post!
You definitely should. It leaves a lovely finish!
It's such a great shade! Definitely my most worn lip butter!
I love the Revlon Lip Butters! My Tutti Frutti has gotten some good use this summer.
Thanks! So has mine, I might even need a new one soon! | Every season I like to put a post together featuring all the makeup products I 've been getting the most use out of . Here 's what has been in my makeup bag as of late .

Cross-posted from the Online Community Report blog .
How are you measuring the performance and health of your community?
This may seem like a strange or even whimsical question. Communities are organic and ever-evolving entities, right? Trying to benchmark and measure something as inherently chaotic and dynamic as online community performance, health, or the shiny new metric “engagement” can be challenging. But the reality is that this type of data is now expected from community managers by stakeholders and executives.
So where is one to start? I have outlined a few first steps below, based on my experience. You mileage, of course, may vary.
Your “basic” web metrics, from sources like Hitbox or even your server logs will reveal quite a bit of data including # of page views, # of unique visitors, browser type, screen resolution, country, language and referring URLs. While this data in isolation won’t paint the “big picture” for you, it will give you some information to make decisions about design (target screen size), what browsers to design to, and potentially what languages to localize your community site in. This information also becomes more meaningful when you look at trends in the data over time.
These numbers are a bit more tricky to get, but you should definitely pay attention to registrations numbers. The ratio of registrations to casual visitors is also a great number to look at if one of your primary goals is conversion from visitor to member. Sign up form abandonment could indicate a usability issue with your signup flow, or could indicate that the value trade off of registering vs. the percieved benefit of the community isn’t clearly being communicated.
Depending on how you collect metrics and what you used to instrument your site, data on visitor and member activity may be difficult to get as well. Being able to drill down on member participation in your community helps you understand if there is a good balance of the following functions in your community: contributors (those that produce content), connectors (those that form relationships) and consumers (those that consume content). Member activity data also gives you a good view (depending on the quality of the data) of how engaged (or not engaged) your members are in various content and features.
Are you constantly editing comments or discussion group posts? Banning members? Removing spam from your forums? Spending all you time approving comments or reviewing video clips before allowing them to be posted? Is hosting an online community inherently painful?
Basically, any activity that detracts from the intended mission and purpose of the community should be tracked, and the root cause should be identified and addressed. This could be as simple as making your Discussion Group guidelines more clear and telling your moderators to lighten up (I had to do this). If you find yourself struggling against parts or all of your community rather than engaging in activity with them, something is wrong. Track the “overhead” for 2-3 months, and then take a time out with your team (and ideally members from your community) to discuss ways to optimize or solve the problem. You’ll be glad you did.
This should arguably be at the top of the list. The best source of data about how your community is doing? Your community. Creating an open dialog about community health and activity can be as simple as turning on blog comments or creating a new discussion forum for the sole purpose of discussing open issues and ways to improve the community.

How are you measuring the performance and health of your community ?
This may seem like a strange or even whimsical question . Communities are organic and ever - evolving entities , right ? Trying to benchmark and measure something as inherently chaotic and dynamic as online community performance , health , or the shiny new metric “ engagement ” can be challenging . But the reality is that this type of data is now expected from community managers by stakeholders and executives .

Very nice portable gadget. You’re right. Given the functionality, this has way more value for money than the XPERIA. You’ll still want to get one when it comes out though. Hehe.
OMG don’t say the magic word swt Oh friggin no you know me well enough to have said that!!!! Daaaaang!
This is more personal than writing a review performance about your purchase on MSI. Is that 8″ or 12″?
As for your C700 – it’s actually can’t do much. If not mistaken it’s a dual core. Just good enough to do simple stuff like business stuffs. So what is your model? C773EA / C773EM / C772EM / C765EM?
Hmm.. but this MSI Wind is kinda lookin nice but the hdd is small – capacity of 80 gb? I guess that’s not so sufficient. i say minimum of 160gb. Does it comes along with XP or vista? If it’s vista, 512mb and 1gb is way bottom. It’s going to be lag. You need at least 2gb or 4gb. Best Windows vista to be installed would be 32 bit. As for 64bit it’s still unstable and lag.
Well my laptop is the HP Pavilion Tx1316 – was last year’s model. Now that this year has 2032 and 2029, sigh….i want them all.. lol..
I’m sorry to say this but the MSI Wind PC isn’t really a high performance notebook. But the verdict is it’s just something small and simple.
It’s just something the MSI wanted to challenge with Asus Eee PC. Since both MSI and Asus are fame for motherboard chipsets.
Actually notebooks with screen sizes 7″ to 9″ is actually quite difficult to see. It’s actually kinda reminded me of a baby organizer. Now that you got that HP mini coming up with great specs.
When Sony first released it’s model: Sony Vaio TZ series – it was 11.1 inch with bad specs but still there are some idiots buying them. Probably for collection?
Haha Jorwee so nice of you to have dropped by. Yep yep it isn’t everything! And it isn’t definitely a substitute for our desktops and high performance laptops. But this small machine, in my opinion, is the best among mini PCs so far! and the 80 gigs is extra big enough as compared to the Asus eee series and even ACER Aspire. | Very nice portable gadget .

Rania was diagnosed with MS at 19 while in her first year of University. In the first years of being diagnosed and navigating her new way of life she did not speak much about her struggles. 2 years ago she decided to blog about her experience and since hasn’t been able to stop spreading awareness for this invisible disease. She started her blog as miss anonyMS, became and MS Ambassador for MS Limited in Australia and runs her own charity events with all proceeds going to finding a cure for MS as well as support services to help people living with MS.
I was diagnosed with relapsing MS in 2008, aged 28. I also live with polycystic ovarian syndrome and chronic urticaria/angiodema. I have experience in a broad caregiver’s capacity for my younger sister who has ulcerative colitis and who has also experienced mental health issues including PTSD, anxiety and depression. I work full time as a Spanish-English translator/analyst for a business intelligence company. In my spare time I work with multiple stakeholders (including pharma, patient associations/charities, clinicians, patients and the healthcare industry) to bring the patient voice into the healthcare journey, addressing issues that affect specific patient communities and cross-patient communities, as well as the healthcare industry. | In 2015 she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis .

any technique of adding material to a cloud to alter its natural development, usually to increase or obtain precipitation.
A method of making a cloud give up its moisture as rain, especially by releasing particles of dry ice or silver iodide into cold clouds. Dry ice freezes water droplets in the cloud, turning them into nuclei for the formation of raindrops. Silver iodide particles are used because they have a crystal structure similar to ice and can also serve as nuclei for raindrop formation.
