Join the Brooklyn Young Republican Club for our clubs Presidential election on Sunday June 24th from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the backyard of 616 East 4th Street Brooklyn New York 11218.
Only eligible dues paying club members who are below the age of 40 could vote in this election. The deadline to become a club member for 2018 to become eligible to vote in our elections have already ended no new memberships will be eligible vote on Election Day.
Elections will be held in the backyard of 616 East 4th Street. A tent will be provided if there is any inclement weather.
The Constitution & Bylaws (the "Bylaws") of the Brooklyn Young Republican Club (the "Club") govern the Club in all respects in all of its affairs, subject only to any applicable local, state and Federal laws.
As authorized by the Bylaws, resolutions duly adopted by the Club's Board of Directors (the "Board") and/or the Club's membership may establish rules, policies and procedures wherein they do not conflict with any provision of the Bylaws. Resolutions may also amend the Bylaws from time to time in the manner that the Bylaws prescribe.
On any given matter where the Bylaws and resolutions of the Club are unclear or remain silent, Article III, Section 8 of the Bylaws empowers the latest edition of Robert's Rules of Order ("RROR"), the most widely used manual of parliamentary procedure in the United States since 1876, to provide clarity on rules, policies and procedures to the extent that it may provide.
Club elections are held at the Club's Annual Meeting. The Elections Committee solely administers all Club elections, serves as tellers during elections, prepares and collects ballots, tallies the vote, and announces the results (Art. VIII, Sec. 5 & 6, Bylaws).
At a meeting held on May 19, 2018, the Board scheduled the 2018 Annual Meeting by resolution, pursuant to Bylaws Art. IV, Sec. 2, to be held on Sunday, June 24, 2018 at 4:30 PM.
The Elections Committee consists of one Chair, nominated by the President and elected by the Board on or before January 31st of each year, and between one to six other persons serving as members of the committee, who are selected and appointed at the discretion of the Elections Committee Chair (Bylaws, Art. VIII, Sec. 2).
The Chair of the Elections Committee must have been a member for at least one year at the time of their election by the Board of Directors (Bylaws, Art. VIII, Sec. 2).
The Bylaws do require the Chair to be a Club member, but they do not require the Chair to be a member of any particular class–Regular, Associate or Honorary (Bylaws, Art. VIII, Sec. 2).
Any member of the Elections Committee, including the Chair (a) may not run for Club office during their term and (b) may not vote in any election over which they preside (Art. VIII, Sec. 2, Bylaws).
Since the Bylaws say the Elections Committee Chair may appoint between one and six "persons" to serve on the committee to administer the elections, the other members of the committee do not need to be members of the Club (see RROR 11th Ed., §13, p. 174 L35-p. 175 L1-4).
Only a Regular member of the Club in good standing is eligible to cast a ballot (Bylaws Art. VIII, Sec. 3). To clarify, Associate, Honorary, non-members and Regular members who have failed to pay their dues for the current year are NOT eligible to vote at the election.
The Club's Treasurer is responsible for maintaining the list of Regular members in good standing who are eligible to vote in elections and provide that list to the Elections Committee for the election (Bylaws Art. V, Sec. 4(c)).
New member applicants who have not had their membership applications approved by the Board of Directors prior to the meeting at which nominations were held, which was May 20, 2018, will not be eligible to vote, as no new membership applications can be approved for any reason between nominations and elections (Bylaws Art. III, Sec. 4).
All voting is done by secret ballot, which are prepared by the Elections Committee (Bylaws Art.
VIII, Sec. 3). Ballots will contain a write-in field for contested races (RROR 11th Ed., §45, p. 414 L3-5).
No ballot may be used that was not prepared by the Elections Committee (Bylaws Art.
A majority of all completed ballots cast shall be necessary for the election of candidates (Bylaws Art. VIII, Sec. 3). If no candidate receives a majority of ballots cast, the Elections Committee Chair shall announce to the membership "no election" and immediately direct the Committee to begin an additional round of voting (RROR 11th Ed., §46, p. 439 L31-35 – p. 440 L1-2).
While Bylaws Art. VIII, Sec. 3 allow for the possibility of voting by proxy, which allows Voters to assign other Voters the right to cast ballots on their behalf during an election because they will otherwise not be able to attend in person, Bylaws Art. VIII, Sec. 4 requires the Board to adopt rules and regulations to enable proxy voting, which the Board, at this point in time, has never done.
Furthermore, RROR prescribes against proxy voting in deliberative assemblies and organizations that are nonstock corporations, and therefore does not provide any default rules or regulations governing it (RROR 11th Ed., §45, p. 428 L28 – p. 429 L1-14).
Consequently, in the absence of any rules or regulations under any recognized authority, unless and until the Board of Directors adopts rules and regulations to prescribe the manner in which proxy voting may occur, proxy voting is, ipso facto, prohibited.
With a quorum of Club members being present, which requires ten percent (10%) of the Regular membership in good standing (4 Regular members in good standing as of the 2018 Elections), the President shall call the meeting to order (Bylaws Art. IV, Sec. 5).
When the meeting's agenda reaches the Elections, the Elections Committee Chair shall take the floor and begin the process of reviewing the rules and procedures for the members present. After reviewing the ground rules, the Elections Committee shall begin to accept one Voter at a time to sign in, receive their ballot, complete it, and leave the voting area. The Elections Committee Chair shall verify no other Voter intends to vote before closing the round of voting. Then, the Elections Committee will proceed to count the ballots. If a candidate receives a majority of the vote, the Elections Committee Chair will declare that candidate elected and that candidate will take office immediately upon announcement, so long as they do not decline election. If no candidate receives a majority, the Elections Committee Chair shall announce "no election" and then immediately commence subsequent rounds of voting until a candidate receives a majority.
1. The voting area for receiving and casting ballots shall be restricted to all persons except Election Committee members and one Regular member in good standing (the "Voter") at a time for the sole purpose of casting their ballot. A sufficient amount of space shall be set aside to avoid interference from non-Election Committee members during the vote.
2. The Elections Committee shall provide a lockable ballot box for depositing ballots during each round of voting. The ballot box shall be opened at the beginning of each round of voting and publicly demonstrated to the members present as being empty and without any kind of tampering or other modification. The ballot box will be locked to allow commencement of a round of voting. The ballot box will be supervised at all times by at least two members of the Elections Committee. The ballot box must be placed in a conspicuous area visible to all members and candidates during voting, but not to the extent that tampering may be made possible or a Voter's vote may be discernible as they cast it into the ballot box.
3. For each round of voting, the Voter must find their name printed on the list of eligible Voters and sign next to it first before receiving one (1) ballot. The Elections Committee will have multiple copies of such list and of such ballots in the event of more than one round of voting.
4. The Voter shall be provided a secluded, private space, free of any kind of interference or electioneering, to complete their ballot. The Voter may only choose one (1) candidate per race for Club office, or up to the maximum number of Members of the Board of Directors.
Voting for more than one (1) candidate for Club office or in excess of the total number of Members of the Board of Directors shall make the ballot null and void and it will not be counted. Failure to vote for any candidate on a ballot shall render the ballot blank and therefore it shall not be counted.
The Voter shall deposit their ballot into the locked ballot box after completing it. A Voter must deposit the ballot they received into the ballot box, even if it is left incomplete, before leaving the voting area, to ensure proper accounting of ballots issued with ballots cast.
5. After each Voter present has been given a reasonable opportunity to vote, the Elections Committee Chair shall ask if any other Voters who have not voted wish to do so. After a brief pause, if there are no other Voters wishing to vote, the Elections Committee Chair shall announce the current round of voting closed. By either unanimous consent or by a two-thirds vote of the Voters present and voting, a round of voting may be closed (RROR 11th Ed., §30, p. 286 L15-33).
After closing the round, the Elections Committee shall proceed to unlock the ballot box and publicly count each ballot, tallying on paper for each candidate the number of votes received, until there are no more ballots left to be counted. The empty ballot box shall once again be presented publicly to the members present to demonstrate no uncounted ballots remain.
Upon completing the tally of all votes cast, if a candidate has received a majority of ballots cast and completed, the Elections Committee Chair shall announce their election, which shall take effect immediately upon announcement. In the event no candidate receives a majority of votes, a new round of voting shall immediately commence.
No candidate's name shall be removed from the ballot unless they publicly declare their intention to withdraw from the election and sign a written statement attesting to this fact. At such point, the Elections Committee shall cross off the name of the withdrawn candidate from any subsequent ballots before the next round of voting.
6. In the event of a dispute as to the legality of a ballot, eligibility of a Voter, the legality of a round of voting, or any other concern not provided for in the Club Bylaws or by resolution of the Board of Directors or the Club, the Elections Committee will refer to Robert's Rules of Order.

If you didn't write CRS in your waec can it be usee in jamb for a course Like economics..giving the fact that u were a science student but wanna change to study economics but u only have economics as the only social science subject in ur waec?
Below is the JAMB SUBJECT COMBINATION for Economics in faculty of Social and Management Sciences.
English Language(*), Economics, Mathematics and any of Government, History, Geography, Literature-in-English, French and Christian Religious Studies/Islamic Studies.
Yes you can write crs in jamb to complete the four subjects but in O level DELSU requires Five SSCE credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Economics, one subject from Commerce, Principles of Book Keeping and Accounts, Geography, Government and Secretarial Studies and any other Arts or Social Science subjects.
So if economics is the only social science subject you have then you are not qualified.
it is not possible, because you require social science/Art subject in your O'level result other than Economic.
Peter: But where I bought my jamb form from told me it doesn't mata so I filled it like that last year was that why I didn't get the admission last year??

Live Updates: Zimbabwe 2018 National Budget Highlights and Talking Points
Finance and Economy Planning Minister Patrick Chinamasa will be presenting the 2018 National Budget before Parliament today. This is the first budget without former President Robert Mugabe as the Head of State.
We will be updating you with the major talking points as the budget is presented:
President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Finance and Economic Planning Minister Patrick Chinamasa now in the house for the 2018 Budget Presentation.
The theme for the budget is "Towards a New Economic Order"
The economy remains on track to grow by 3.7 percent despite the challenges we are facing says Chinamasa.
Chinamasa says the economy is expected to grow by 4.5 percent in 2018.
Chinamasa says that inflation is expected to average 3 percent in 2017/2018.
The budget deficit for 2017, $1,7 billion. This is much higher than the original amount of $400 000.
The government must urgently repay $1,2 billion Treasury Bills, and the total borrowings for 2018 will be $2,9 billion.
The government wants to review charges for mobile money and electronic transactions in order to increase plastic and mobile money transactions and to enforce acceptance of those forms of money by traders.
Chinamasa says that Zimbabwe is facing a mismatch between bank balances and actual cash in the Zimbabwean economy
The Minister says there is need to solve the cash crisis, and to deal with corruption.
He adds that Zimbabwe must pursue international engagement, and ensure that the 2018 elections are credible for investor confidence.
86% of the exports in Zimbabwe are from mining and tobacco.
The government will retire all employees above 65 in order to rationalize the civil service.
Chinamasa stresses the need for political will and for the avoidance of reversal of measures that he has announced in the budget, perhaps mindful, of the time when former President Robert Mugabe overruled him when he had announced that he was cancelling the bonuses for civil servants.
The government will abolish 3 479 youth officers posts and freeze the recruitment of non-essential posts.
The fuel benefits for government officers are to be reviewed and only one personal vehicle will be allocated to permanent secretaries of ministries.
Delegations for foreign assignments will be reduced and there will be no first class travel for government officials except for the Presidium.
The government has resolved to downsize the number of diplomatic missions from the current 46 embassies. The embassies require $65 million per year resulting and resulted in a $17,3 million deficit.
ECD is going to be scrapped.
Technically insolvent parastatals which are not strategic will be closed down. Others will be commercialised while others will become part of joint ventures.
The government will set up toll-free lines to the Office of the President to allow citizens to report corruption.
The local authorities will be required to allocate 70% of revenue to service delivery and 30% to wages.
The government will engage the USA, UK and EU at the highest level of debt clearance and support, as well as international financial institutions like the IMF, World Bank.
Indigenisation law will be amended to limit 51:49 local ownership requirement to diamond and platinum mining only. All the other sectors are open to investment from all nationalities
The expected revenue collections for 2018 stand at $5,1 billion and government expenditure is targeted at $5,8 billion.
Government employment costs stand at $3,2 billion.
Expected budget deficit of $672 million, will be 3.5% of GDP
The government will set up vocational training schools in every district to cater for 180 000 "O" level graduates thrown in the streets each year.
The government will honour its commitment to pay civil servants bonuses in 2018. However, these will be staggered like what happened in 2017.
A target of 200 ha of land should be put under irrigation per district annually for the next 10 years.
US$ 132 million has been set aside for the 2018 elections
Budget Allocations
US$905 million – Primary & Secondary Education
US$497 million – Lands and Agriculture
US$420 million – Defence and war veterans
US$433 million – Home Affairs
US$408 million – Health
US$316 million – Higher Education
US$ 57 million – Parliament
Government to adopt zero tolerance on land barons.
Power generation projects to be exempt from corporate income tax for first five years of operation
Goat and sheep products now VAT exempted, joining pork, am proposing the extension of Operation Restore Order by Zimbabwe Defence Forces to Beitbridge border post beef and poultry product.
Chinamasa proposes extending "Operation Restore Legacy" by the ZDF to Beitbridge Border Post to remove touts and other unwanted persons operating from the customs controlled area.

Christmas is the most popular holiday in our United States and the celebration of Christmas has been part of the very fabric of our nation as long as anyone can remember. Of late the spectre of political correctness has made everyone wary of expressing themselves in any way that might possibly offend even one non-Christian. The attorneys at Rutherford Institute have made available the following guidelines for Americans who want to be both Christian and constitutional.
It all means I can still wish you MERRY CHRISTMAS!

How To Read OverDrive Library Books On An E-Reader
Lily RugoFormer Contributor
OverDrive is a great resource for e-reader users.
OverDrive is one of the best resources out there in the e-reader world. The free online database is a library of e-books, including recent releases and best-sellers, connected to most public libraries in the United States. With minimal research and set up, a card from the local library can open a whole world of e-books, audio books and magazines.
The first step is to head to OverDrive.com (which is owned by Rakuten, which makes their own line of e-readers, the Kobo). From there choose the "Find Your Library" option in the top corner of the page, where it takes you to the page to enter a city and state or ZIP code to locate the nearest public library. Once the nearest or favorite branch is selected, head over to that library's website to log in using a library card and PIN number. If a PIN number is unknown, then a call or visit to the nearest branch might be in order.
After an account gets all set up, checking out books can be done either wirelessly or involves downloading software, depending on the e-reader. For the Amazon Kindles and the new Kobo e-readers (Forma, Aura ONE, Aura H2O Edition 2, Aura Edition 2 and Clara HD) it'll be a breeze; "Borrow" the book from the OverDrive library screen and then it'll appear on the device's home screen the next time it gets synced via wifi. Once the loan ends, the borrowed e-book disappears on its own after its synced. For every other e-reader, including Barnes and Noble's Nook series, e-readers made by Sony and older Kobo readers, borrowing books from OverDrive entails a few more steps.
The other e-readers have to use a special software, Adobe Digital Editions (ADE), which can be downloaded on any computer. OverDrive's help website provides a full rundown on instructions for downloading the software, setting it up on a computer and answers frequently asked questions. From the main article, OverDrive also has instructions for specific devices like the Nook GlowLight Plus, Nook Samsung Galaxy Tab tablets, the Kindle Fire and Kobo's older line. After that, checking out books from OverDrive is a mater of connecting the e-reader to the computer each time. It's a bit more cumbersome, so if convenience is a priority, buying one of the Kobo or Amazon e-readers is a better bet.
E-book loans can be either one or two weeks, and the system will end the loan itself to avoid overdue fees. OverDrive libraries have waitlists for really popular titles, recommendation options for the library to buy not owned books and a wishlist. There's also a companion smartphone app, Libby, that can manage multiple library cards, check out and return both e-books and audio books. Once it gets all set up, OverDrive is one of the most handy resources out there for book lovers.

EBay to sell StubHub to Viagogo for about $4 billion in cash
Published Mon, Nov 25 20198:38 AM EST Updated Mon, Nov 25 20191:44 PM EST
Elly Cosgrove@EllyCosgrove
EBay plans to sell StubHub to Swiss ticket vendor Viagogo for about $4 billion.
The sale is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2020, subject to regulatory approval and customary conditions.
Viagogo CEO Eric Baker co-founded StubHub while in business school and left before the company was sold to eBay for $310 million in 2007.
Squawk on the Street
EBay announced plans Monday to sell StubHub to Swiss ticket vendor Viagogo for $4.05 billion in cash.
The sale is expected to close by the end of the first quarter, subject to regulatory approval and customary conditions.
Ebay shares rose 1% on the news.
Viagogo CEO Eric Baker co-founded StubHub while in business school. He left before the ticket-selling company was sold to eBay for $310 million in 2007 because of "differences" with his partner, Baker said on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street."
After leaving StubHub, Baker remained a shareholder but was not able to dictate the sale of the company to eBay.
"If it was up to me I wouldn't have to buy it back because I never would have sold it, but everything worked out in the end," Baker said.
Baker said he had been thinking about this for some time. "The opportunity to combine the two and have true global coverage just made too much sense," he said.
"Eric clearly sees strong opportunity for the two businesses. He founded StubHub 19 years ago and feels so passionately about the business that he organized his people and the financial resources to buy it back. He is all in, which is fantastic for the company going forward," a spokesperson for StubHub said in a statement.
When combined, StubHub and Viagogo will sell tickets across more than 70 countries, "giving fans seamless access to a wider selection of inventory around the world, while sellers, teams and artists will have the ability to more effectively reach a broader global audience," the announcement said.
The companies are likely to operate independently for some time while executives examine the best way to integrate the businesses, representatives for eBay and Viagogo told CNBC.
"The combined company will allow StubHub and Viagogo to realize efficiencies to reinvest in innovation," the eBay spokesperson said.
No leadership changes are planned, according to the companies.
Baker did not clearly outline how the company will pay the $4.05 billion cash price tag. Viagogo currently has committed debt financing from J.P. Morgan, CNBC's David Faber reported.
EBay's proceeds from the deal will be put toward stock buybacks, dividends and M&A investing, interim CEO Scott Schenkel told Faber.
Faber reported in July that eBay was moving forward with a potential sale of StubHub. The news followed eBay's announcement on March 1 that it was conducting a strategic portfolio review.
"Over the past several months, eBay's leadership team and Board of Directors have been engaged in a thorough review of our current strategies and portfolio, and we concluded that this was the best path forward for both eBay and StubHub," Schenkel said in Monday's release.
The Wall Street Journal was the first to report the deal on Monday.

Robotics in education is a great trend.
With technology integration and advancement in every sphere it is important to keep our students updated and familiar with new technology and its efficient use.
Essentially, a robot is a mechanical device that can be programmed to follow a set of instructions. The robot has a processing unit, sensors to perceive its environment, and motors and actuators to move its limbs or wheels. It may speak, make other sounds, or flash with lights and colors in response to the environment as per instructions. Robots need the ability to follow programmed instructions and not just be controlled remotely. Educators around the globe are still exploring the benefits of integrating robotics in education whereas in many parts the pedagogy has taken a fair share of usability.
There are a lot of ways to introduce robotics to your classroom. It can be in the form of joining some online community or introducing robotics kits to the class for real time learning. For instance, an exercise in which students program a robot to measure and display distance is a great first instructional lesson—it's something teachers instinctually understand and is relatively easy to design the curriculum for.
In this post, I want to introduce one such learning package that can help you take student engagement to another level.

20/12/2021 at 2:58pm Stuart Stone Distributed energy,	Energy networks,	Flex,	Innovation,	Smart grids,	Technology,	Interviews,	Climate Change,	electric vehicles,	Energy Efficiency,	Internet of Things,	net zero,	renewable energy,	Innovate networks,	Innovate energy,	Assets,	Energy flexibility,	Green transport
Icebreaker One CEO Gavin Starks explains how lessons in standardisation and data sharing from open banking can drive the energy sector towards net zero – and empower it to harness an explosion of green innovation.
Launched "to make data work harder to help deliver net zero" in the words of CEO Gavin Starks, open data venture Icebreaker One set out to facilitate financial, engineering and environmental data sharing between firms and therefore steer the next raft of net zero decisions in the energy sector – and eventually beyond.
Starks founded Icebreaker One having co-chaired the development of the transformative open banking standard, set up the Open Data Institute with Sir Tim Berners-Lee, and run a company – backed to the tune of £12 million in venture capital – aggregating different methods of carbon footprinting.
And in just over 18 months, the vessel for energy data change has made unexpected progress – "we're two years ahead of where I thought we'd be," Starks tells Utility Week Innovate.
Hot off the Green Zone at COP26 – where Lord Maude of Horsham compared the importance Icebreaker One's national data infrastructure to that of roads, rail, water and broadband networks – and steered by the likes of BEIS and Innovate UK, the project continues to plot a course towards energy data standardization.
"If you don't end up with market cohesion that probably leads us into a path where we don't deliver our net zero targets," Starks says.
What's more, Starks explains that there has been an unforeseen international context for Icebreaker One, largely through its role in Mission Innovation – a global initiative to "catalyze action and investment in research, development and demonstration to make clean energy affordable, attractive and accessible".
The group, co-led by Italy, China and the UK and comprising 22 countries and the European Commission, formed to help deliver the Paris agreement and published a report at COP26. It counts Icebreaker One among its core mission members, alongside Saudi Arabia's ministry of energy, the National Grid and India's Department of Science and Technology.
"China's doing the renewables, Italy's looking at flex markets, the UK's role is systems integration, data, and digitalization," Starks explains. "We've taken open energy and dropped it right into the bucket. There's a real alignment. This didn't exist a year ago and we've been at the right place at the right time.
"The goal of this is to demonstrate that by 2030, power systems in different geographies and climates are able to effectively integrate 100% of their renewable energies in the generation mix. Data and interoperability is one of the pillars of work, the UK is leading it, and open energy is in the mix."
'Not a technology company'
However, Starks admits to being "a bit surprised" at the lack of search engine capability and data standardization in UK energy at present. "Our view is there's some really baseline plumbing that we're doing where data discovery is a problem," he says.
"If you were to say 'what's an inventory of all the energy data in the UK? We don't know – nobody has been able to answer that question. Does a company even know how much data it's got at the moment? Probably not – and that's not specific to energy.
"Every company has data that it probably shouldn't have or doesn't have data people think they should – and that's where we've established this access control layer," Starks explains. "Icebreaker One doesn't store any data. We store the metadata that describes the data and the permissions."
At the heart of Icebreaker One's approach is to gradually increase the size of the UK's open energy data ecosystem to incorporate firms that may want common access and agreeing a standard method of expansion within policies and guardrails that ensure each firm's data is consistent and comparable.
"We've mapped out over 9,000 companies in the energy system in the UK – are you going to do bilateral contracts with each one of them? Is each company going to have its own software as a service solution? While that can be automated, you've still got to sign up to dozens of different terms and conditions, and that's just a lengthy process and is going to introduce friction."
On this point, Starks draws comparison with the rollout of open banking. "The banks said, 'well, we've got application programming interfaces, we're doing data sharing already, why do we need this thing?' But it's not about you, it's about us – all of us creating cohesion and interoperability across the whole market.
"So rather than having dozens, hundreds, or even thousands, of integration points all doing things differently, you've got standardized ways of achieving that. We're not a technology company from that point of view, we're taking existing bits of technology and plugging them together."
'Proven blueprint' from open banking
Established as a nonprofit – "to occupy a space that nobody else really wanted to," Starks claims – Icebreaker One functions independently of industry and government, much like it's CEO's work at the Open Data Institute and in open banking. "With Treasury backing, open banking opened up secure access to shared financial data," he explains. "It has since transformed the fintech sector, creating tens of billions of pounds in value."
This "proven blueprint" for market-wide data sharing within a common framework can subsequently be applied to the most relevant sectors to climate change, Starks adds, explaining that working with to develop open standards will unlock access to shared data – essential in the delivery of a "green industrial revolution".
"Energy's at the top of that list – obviously – but as are water, transport, agriculture and the built world. And so we're looking at all of those areas and have been trying to work through the primary use cases here for market-wide data sharing.
"When you look at the emergent landscape of millions of assets being generators, or stores of energy – whether that's a wind turbine, or an electric vehicle – and millions of assets acting on the demand side and also as an energy store, you end up with a very complex problem.
"Our purpose is to act as a catalyst, bring industry together and say if we're going to pick data standards, let's act as a way of gathering people around particular use cases whether that's flex markets, smart meters, electric vehicles – and let's make it happen."
Cultural challenge
For Starks, creating an open web of energy data necessitates a seismic shift in business behaviors – especially when handling "harder" commercial data and deciding whether to collect or connect.
"I think the major thing here – and it's not specific to energy – is just the way that we do business," he explains. "Businesses are programmed to keep everything close and thinking if we let things leak out the sides we're going to lose value or somehow our competitors will get an edge.
"Every company wants to build a data lake – it's the classic, if we've got all the data, we can get a market edge," Starks continues. "But having the data is not where the value is, connecting the data is where the value is. And so the most valuable companies here are going to be the ones that connect the most data – we're helping those connections exist."
Starks summarises that the challenge afoot is therefore a cultural one. "It's getting businesses and governments generally to think that we're going to create more value by connecting our data than by hoarding it – it's unlocking the sense of we're going to create more value if we join forces."
Beginning of a 'Cambrian explosion'
A winner of the Modernising Energy Data Access (MEDA) Competition and BEIS' Energy Data Visibility Project, Icebreaker One's final destination is, ultimately, a data ecosystem capable of supporting "millions of assets from thousands of vendors".
However in the context of a race to decarbonise, said assets must be also shaped by better and more broadly shared data insights between companies to pull towards a common goal.
Starks cites a Bloomberg report claiming that global energy-related emissions need to drop 30% below 2019 levels by 2030 – a point by which Icebreaker One hopes to influence investment decisions of $3.6 trillion per year – in order to deliver net-zero by 2050.
"Everything we build in the next 10 years basically determines the 2050 outcome – we're not going to be rebuilding our energy infrastructure every five years," he says.
"My very broad understanding is if we were to switch everything to net zero electric tomorrow, we need to triple or quadruple our renewable energy supply. And so if you look at that through the lens of 'we need to very rapidly increase renewable energy supply' there's going to be huge amount of investment there – but it's going to be a distributed network and you're going to have more and more micro generation – heat pumps, and so on."
Starks adds that open energy data can have positive knock-on effects in other sectors striving for net zero – for example, given the huge number of interactions between sectors such as water or transport and energy, opportunities exist to empower companies in EVs and heat pumps with shared data insight.
"Glasgow is expecting 100,000 electric vehicles on the roads within a year or two – they don't have the infrastructure to do that yet, as far as I know. I think EVs have been outstripping fossil fuel cars now in some areas of Europe and sales, so we've got to get a move on, and how are we going to do that in an efficient way?
"It feels like we're just at the beginning of this Cambrian explosion of innovation," he adds, "and all the promises of the internet of things, we've got to turn them into reality now."

Pennsylvania hasn't voted Republican in a presidential election since 1988.
Wilkes University political science professor Thomas Baldino said that pattern has a lot to do with the state's shifting demographics — its Republican population has declined in the last decade or so.
Polls are showing a tight race — and Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump are both in the limelight this week. Although he's skeptical of predictions that the Keystone State will swing right, Baldino said this year there's a better chance it could really happen.
He said the election is redrawing the usual party lines; in Pennsylvania, that makes it harder to predict where the race will go.
That anger, he noted, is largely directed at the perceived political establishment, and boils down to a few key issues.
Baldino, who's based in Wilkes-Barre, also said the candidates themselves have some power in determining which states are important in the election.
And right now, he noted, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton both seem to think Pennsylvania's the place to be.

After Years of War, Iraq and Syria Struggle to Bury All Dead
by Jonathan Fenton-Harvey
in Featured, Middle East

Syrians and Iraqis are forced to pick up the pieces after years of conflict, as they try to recover and bury endless amounts of dead bodies.
Workers dig deep in the rubble, pushing past the suffocating stench of rotting flesh – which lingers in recent battlefields like in Iraqi Mosul, to find every corpse and actually create space to bury them. Both of which prove a challenge.
Syria fell into civil war in 2011, while Iraq has suffered from infighting for over a decade. Both lost territory to Islamic State when it emerged in 2014. Yet the extremist faction is virtually eliminated on the battlefield.
In July last year, the Iraqi Army, backed by U.S.-led coalition airstrikes, finally reclaimed the key city of Mosul from ISIS.
Mosul's Civil Defense, a crew of just twelve men, made brave efforts during and after the liberation to find and recover dead bodies buried in the rubble. Even now, the team still works six days a week, fishing out bodies from destroyed areas of the city.
Within the Civil Defence Force's headquarters, families come to them to request they recover their dead relatives.
"We are ready to do our duty," Mohammad Shabaan, one of the workers, said, as quoted by GQ. "Collecting bodies, fighting fires, or cleaning streets. Whatever Mosul needs, we are here."
Media reported that up until September, local medical facilities recovered nearly 3,000 dead bodies from under the rubble in Mosul. The number of bodies still scattered across the city is unclear.
"Dead body management in Iraq is a still serious issue, as bodies are said to be buried under the rubble, on the streets, in addition to the bodies received by the local health facilities. Dead body management is now a priority in Mosul, since more and more bodies were recovered from under the rubble and brought to the hospital and morgue, either by the military or by the families themselves," Iolanda Jacquemet at the International Committee for the Red Cross told The Globe Post.
"There are also reports of an increasing number of mass graves being discovered in other areas recaptured from the Islamic State group," she added.
At the end of 2017, Syrian forces discovered mass graves of dozens of ISIS victims. Other mass graves in former ISIS territories have been discovered across Iraq and Syria.
"Hospitals and morgues lack the capacity to accommodate all the bodies. Temporary and suitable burial places need to be identified, documentation needs to be provided to the families, and there is a need to ensure that unidentified bodies can be traced [and] identified at a later stage," Ms. Jacquemet said.
Elsewhere in Syria, where nearly half a million estimated deaths occurred since 2011, civilians for years have struggled to bury corpses which litter their hometowns after the war.
Graveyard workers in the city Douma, near Damascus, have struggled to find room to bury the deceased since the summer of 2015. Cremation is not possible since Islamic traditions permit burial only. Therefore, bodies are crammed into multi-layered graves and labyrinth tombs made from mud bricks. One three-layered grave could hold around one thousand bodies.
Eastern Aleppo faces similar issues after bloody clashes between the regime and opposition forces in 2016. Many public parks have turned into crude graveyards for Aleppo's deceased, as the city's original graveyard quickly became overflowing with dead bodies.
Firas al-Khateeb, a Damascus-based spokesperson for the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), told The Globe Post "it is a tradition for multiple bodies to be buried together in Syria, especially for families," with two or three-layered graves being common, due to burials being expensive even before the war.
Yet he feels that due to the amount of corpses from the war, the issue could "intensify and create overwhelming practicality problems across Syria, and this could also occur in current conflict zones like Idlib and Eastern Ghouta."
While an epidemic disease breakout is unlikely, WHO Spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic told The Globe Post that workers routinely handling corpses risk contracting a number of bloodborne and airborne viruses – such as tuberculosis, hepatitis and HIV, which could be a health risk in both Iraq and Syria.
Mr. Jasarevic also warned that overcrowding in mass graves would drain already scarce resources in Iraq and Syria. He noted that other burial facilities should be provided if graveyards become insufficient and full.
Even if Syrians manage to flee the country, they still face the degrading burial they could face at home.
In March, The Guardian reported that in Lebanon, Syrians are forced to bury their loved ones in crammed, overcrowded, graves, while they often lack financial means to pay for a burial.
"It is a real crisis," said Mohammad al-Ahmad, mayor of Omariyah, where half of the local cemetery is occupied by Syrians. "Imagine someone coming to you who can't find a place to bury his dead loved one. When he asks you: 'So where do I go with my dead relative? In Syria I'm homeless, and here I can't even bury my relative.'"

Note that if you're using Java, you're likely to want to use the [`curl` and the baseline service](Cougar_Baseline_Service_RESCRIPT_curls.html)
rather than writing your own, which will be much faster.

If you're dead set on writing your own Cougar client that uses the RESCRIPT protocol (and remember, this is not recommended),
read this document to generally familiarize yourself with RESCRIPT, then do some hands-on experimentation with
[`curl` and the baseline service](Cougar_Baseline_Service_RESCRIPT_curls.html).

## Introduction

The simplest protocol supported by Cougar is RESCRIPT - a combination of REST and RPC. This document will the process by
which an IDD is transformed into RESCRIPT.

Snippets of IDD will be used throughout this document, but all will be based on the following interface:

    <interface name="DemoIDD" owner="Angus McSporran" version="1.1" date="now()" ... >
        ...
        <dataType name="MyDataType">
            <parameter name="myInt" type="i32">
                ...
            </parameter>
            <parameter name="myString" type="string">
                ...
            </parameter>
            <parameter name="myEnum" type="MyEnum">
                ...
            </parameter>
            <parameter name="myNestedDataType" type="MyInnerDataType">
                ...
            </parameter>
        </dataType>
       ...
       <dataType name="MyInnerDataType">
            <parameter name="foo" type="string">
                ...
            </parameter>
            <parameter name="bar" type="string">
                ...
            </parameter>
        </dataType>
        ...
        <simpleType name="MyEnum" type="string">
            <validValues>
                <value name="FOO">
                    ...
                </value>
                <value name="BAR">
                    ...
                </value>
            </validValues>
        </simpleType>
        ...
        <extensions>
            <consumes>"application/xml","application/json"</consumes>
            <produces>"application/xml","application/json"</produces>
            <path>/demo</path>
        </extensions>
    </interface>

## Controlling the response format

RESCRIPT can currently return any data in XML or JSON. There are 2 ways of indicating to the framework what the desired
format is:

* the *alt* parameter: If there is an 'alt' query parameter available, it is used to defined the return type. Valid
values of this parameter are *xml* and *json*. For example, to define an XML return type on the
baseline service simple get, call [http://localhost:8080/baseline/v1.0/simple/foo?alt=xml.html](http://localhost:8080/baseline/v1.0/simple/foo?alt=xml.html)
* The *Accept* header: If the *alt* parameter is not defined, the HTTP standard 'Accept' header is used.

## XML Namespace

At build time, the IDD is transformed into a set of java classes and interfaces reflecting the IDD. At this stage the
XML namespace is also defined. It is set to `http://www.betfair.com/servicetypes/<MajorVersionNumber>/<ServiceName>/` - so
for the sample interface it would be:

    http://www.betfair.com/servicetypes/v1/DemoIDD

This namespace is common to all request and response XML data.

## Operation Invocations

All operations must have a uniquely defined endpoint from which data may be requested or to which it may be sent. This
endpoint is provided by the extensions tag. The extensions tags also define where else the data may be retrieved from
(these descriptions are based on HTTP, other transports may differ):

* *query* The data is passed as an HTTP query parameter. Parameter must be stringable.
* *header* The data is passed as an HTTP header. Parameter must be stringable.
* *body* The data will be POSTed as part of the HTTP body. If one or more body parameters is defined, the operation
extension method must be POST, not GET.

Stringable parameters are defined as data types that can be rendered as strings with no ambiguity:

* String
* integers (byte, i32, i64)
* floating point numbers (float, double)
* booleans
* enums (or, in the parlance of IDL - SimpleTypes with Valid Values defined)

If an operation is defined as a POST and has one or more body elements, then the POSTed data has to be provided in either
XML or JSON format.

## Requests

All parameters to an operation that are to be passed in the body are encapsulated within a request tag, whose name will
correspond to the name of the operation. Taking the following IDD:

    <operation name="bodyOperation" since="1.0.0">
        ...
        <parameters>
            <request>
                <parameter name="pathParam" type="string" mandatory="true">
                    ...
                    <extensions></extensions>
                </parameter>
                <parameter name="firstBodyParam" type="string" mandatory="true">
                    ...
                    <extensions></extensions>
                </parameter>
                <parameter name="secondBodyParam" type="MyDataType" mandatory="true">
                    ...
                    <extensions></extensions>
                </parameter>
                ...
        </parameters>
        ...
        <extensions>
            <path>/bodyop/{pathParam}</path>
            <method>POST</method>
        </extensions>
    </operation>

It can be seen that the the body must contain both the firstBodyParam and the secondBodyParam.

#### XML Request

The form of the XML request is:

    <BodyOperationRequest xmlns="http://www.betfair.com/servicetypes/v1/DemoIDD/">
        <firstBodyParam>value one</firstBodyParam>
        <secondBodyParam>
            <myInt>12345</myInt>
            <myString>string value</myString>
            <myEnum>FOO</myEnum>
            <myNestedDataType>
                <foo>foo string</foo>
                <bar>bar string</bar>
            </myNestedDataType>
        </secondBodyParam>
    </BodyOperationRequest>

#### JSON request

The form of the JSON request is:

    {
        "firstBodyParam":"value one"
        "secondBodyParam":{
            "myNestedDataType":{
                "foo":"foo string",
                "bar":"bar string"
            },
            "myInt":12345,
            "myString":"string value",
            "myEnum":"FOO"
        },
    }

## Responses

The response of an operation may be any single data type, which will always be wrapped in a response tag whose name will
correspond to the name of the operation. Taking the following IDD:

    <operation name="responseOperation" since="1.0.0">
        ...
        <parameters>
            ...
            <simpleResponse type="MyDataType">
                ...
            </simpleResponse>
            ...
        </parameters>
        ...
        <extensions>
            <path>/responseop</path>
            <method>GET</method>
        </extensions>
    </operation>

#### XML Response

The form of the XML response is:

    <ResponseOperationResponse xmlns="http://www.betfair.com/servicetypes/v1/DemoIDD/">
        <MyDataType>
            <myInt>12345</myInt>
            <myString>string value</myString>
            <myEnum>FOO</myEnum>
            <myNestedDataType>
                <foo>foo string</foo>
                <bar>bar string</bar>
            </myNestedDataType>
        </MyDataType>
    </ResponseOperationResponse>

#### JSON Response

The form of the JSON response is:

    {
        "myNestedDataType":{
            "foo":"foo string",
            "bar":"bar string"
        },
        "myInt":12345,
        "myString":"string value",
        "myEnum":"FOO"
    }

## Primitive Types

There are some issues with the display of primitive types in RESCRIPT, particularly with regard to maps and sets in XML.

#### dateTime objects

DateTimes are rendered as full ISO 8601 protocol. This format is simply defined as:

    [YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]T[hh]:[mm]:[ss].[mmm][Timezone]

A more detailed explanation can be found at [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601). It should be noted
that shortened forms of ISO-8601 are not supported.

#### XML primitive list, set and map rendering

Since XML has no set way of rendering repeating data types, the data type name is used as a repeating value. For primitives
the data type name is not shown as the IDL primitive name, as this is an internal nomenclature, so names are shown as follows:

IDL Primitive Type	RESCRIPT tag

 bool
 Boolean

 byte
 Byte

 i32
 Integer

 i64
 Long

 float
 Float

 double
 Double

 string
 String

 dateTime
 Date

The fact that these RESCRIPT names are exactly the same as the Java primitive wrappers is entirely coincidental...

## Lists and Sets

The IDL has the capability to return sets and lists of both primitives and defined dataTypes. These requests are sent
over the wire in identical formats (as arrays) - the only difference is that at the Cougar end, sets are de-duped while
lists are left as-is. Taking the following IDL :

    <dataType name="ListsAndSets">
        ...
        <parameter name="dates" type="list(dateTime)">
            ...
        </parameter>
        <parameter name="dataTypes" type="set(MyInnerDataType)">
            ...
        </parameter>
        <parameter name="integers" type="set(i32)">
            ...
        </parameter>
    </dataType>

#### XML Representation

There is no native XML form for representing arrays, so RESCRIPT uses repeating tags to render the information. It can
 also be seen that each inner tag has no explicit name as defined in the IDL, so it maps to the class name.

    <ListsAndSets xmlns="http://www.betfair.com/servicetypes/v1/DemoIDD/">
      <dates>
        <Date>2009-07-05T18:54:55.876Z</Date>
        <Date>1971-01-27T00:42:51.888Z</Date>
      </dates>
      <dataTypes>
        <MyInnerDataType>
            <foo>foo string</foo>
            <bar>bar string</bar>
        </MyInnerDataType>
        <MyInnerDataType>
            <foo>foo 2 string</foo>
            <bar>bar 2 string</bar>
        </MyInnerDataType>
      </dataTypes>
      <i32s>
        <Integer>-138</Integer>
        <Integer>2627</Integer>
      </i32s>
    </ListsAndSets>

#### JSON Representation

JSON has the concept of an array, so all lists and sets are rendered using this construct:

    {
        "dates":[
            "2009-07-05T18:54:55.876Z",
            "1971-01-27T00:42:51.888Z"
        ],
         "dataTypes": [
              {
                  "foo":"foo string",
                  "bar":"bar string"
              },
              {
                  "foo":"foo 2 string",
                  "bar":"bar 2 string"
              }
         ],
         "i32s":[
             -138,
             262.9
         ]
    }

## Maps

The IDL has the capability to return maps of both primitives and defined dataTypes, although RESCRIPT imposes a restriction
that the key of the map must be Stringable, and therefore natively comparable. Taking the following IDL :

    <dataType name="MapDataType">
        ...
        <parameter name="cache" type="map(i32,ComplexObject)" mandatory="true">
            ...
        </parameter>
        <parameter name="someMap" type="map(string,dateTime)" mandatory="true">
            ...
        </parameter>
    </dataType>

#### XML Representation

As for lists and sets, there is no native XML form for representing arrays, so RESCRIPT uses a repeating listof name-value
pairs. Again, similarly to the list implementation, it can also be seen that each inner tag has no explicit name as defined
in the IDL, so it maps to the class name.

    <MapDataType xmlns="http://www.betfair.com/servicetypes/v1/DemoIDD/">
      <cache>
        <entry key="0">
           <MyInnerDataType>
              <foo>foo string</foo>
              <bar>bar string</bar>
          </MyInnerDataType>
        </entry>
        <entry key="1">
          <MyInnerDataType>
            <foo>foo 2 string</foo>
            <bar>bar 2 string</bar>
          </MyInnerDataType>
        </entry>
      </cache>
      <someMap>
        <entry key="String-1">
          <Date>1957-08-25T17:08:50.199+01:00</Date>
        </entry>
        <entry key="String-0">
          <Date>1954-03-07T17:23:06.360Z</Date>
        </entry>
      </someMap>
    </MapDataType>

#### JSON Representation

JSON is all about maps, so rendering a map is easy as pie:

    {
        "cache": {
            "0": {
                 "foo":"foo string",
                 "bar":"bar string"
            },
            "1": {
                 "foo":"foo 2 string",
                 "bar":"bar 2 string"
            }
        },
        "someMap": {
            "String-1":"1957-08-25T17:08:50.199+01:00",
            "String-0":"1954-03-07T17:23:06.360Z"
        }
    }

## Direct returning of Abstract Data Types

There is a special case that should be mentioned explicitly. If an operation is specified to return an abstract data type
(map, list or set), it may not be obvious exactly the form of the response. This section explicitly defines these responses.

### Direct response for Lists and Sets

As described above, Lists and Sets are handled the same way by RESCRIPT. Responses are defined for the following IDD:

    <operation name="responseOperation" since="1.0.0">
        ...
        <parameters>
            ...
            <simpleResponse type="list(MyDataType)">
                ...
            </simpleResponse>
            ...
        </parameters>
        ...
    </operation>

#### XML Array Response

The form of the XML response is:

    <ResponseOperationResponse xmlns="http://www.betfair.com/servicetypes/v1/DemoIDD/">
        <MyDataType>
            <myInt>12345</myInt>
            <myString>string value</myString>
            <myEnum>FOO</myEnum>
            <myNestedDataType>
                <foo>foo string</foo>
                <bar>bar string</bar>
            </myNestedDataType>
        </MyDataType >
        <MyDataType>
            <myInt>23456</myInt>
            <myString>string value 2</myString>
            <myEnum>BAR</myEnum>
            <myNestedDataType>
                <foo>foo 2 string</foo>
                <bar>bar 2 string</bar>
            </myNestedDataType>
        </MyDataType >
    </ResponseOperationResponse>

#### JSON Array Response

The form of the JSON response is:

    [
       {
          "myInt":12345,
          "myString":"string value",
          "myEnum":"FOO",
          "myNestedDataType":{
             "foo":"foo string",
             "bar":"bar string"
          }
       },
       {
          "myInt":23456,
          "myString":"string value 2",
          "myEnum":"BAR",
          "myNestedDataType":{
             "foo":"foo 2 string",
             "bar":"bar 2 string"
          }
       }
    ]

### Direct response for Maps

Responses are defined for the following IDD:

    <operation name="responseOperation" since="1.0.0">
        ...
        <parameters>
            ...
            <simpleResponse type="map(string, MyDataType)">
                ...
            </simpleResponse>
            ...
        </parameters>
        ...
    </operation>

#### XML Map Response

The form of the XML response is:

    <ResponseOperationResponse xmlns="http://www.betfair.com/servicetypes/v1/DemoIDD/">
        <entry key="0">
            <MyDataType>
                <myInt>12345</myInt>
                <myString>string value</myString>
                <myEnum>FOO</myEnum>
                <myNestedDataType>
                    <foo>foo string</foo>
                    <bar>bar string</bar>
                </myNestedDataType>
            </MyDataType >
        </entry>
        <entry key="1">
            <MyDataType>
                <myInt>23456</myInt>
                <myString>string value 2</myString>
                <myEnum>BAR</myEnum>
                <myNestedDataType>
                    <foo>foo 2 string</foo>
                    <bar>bar 2 string</bar>
                </myNestedDataType>
            </MyDataType >
        </entry>
    </ResponseOperationResponse>

#### JSON Map Response

The form of the JSON response is:

    {
       "0":{
          "myInt":12345,
          "myString":"string value",
          "myEnum":"FOO",
          "myNestedDataType":{
             "foo":"foo string",
             "bar":"bar string"

## Faults

Faults may occur in one of the following scenarios:
* The request is badly formed in some way (invalid encoding, mandatory data missing, etc)
* The Cougar framework had an unexpected problem (a java runtime exception).
* The application code returned a defined exception (One of the exceptions listed in the `<exceptions>` tag of the operation).
* The application code had an unexpected problem (a java runtime exception).

When this happens, a fault response is returned. Fault responses are explained the [Cougar Fault Reporting](Cougar_Fault_Reporting.html) document.

## Manipulating the URIs your interface methods are available on

By default Cougar will generate code that is annotated such that your service will be exposed on `/<interfaceName>/<version>/<operationName>`.

### Changing the interface name

You can change the `<interfaceName`> part of the URI by changing the value of the `/interface/extensions/path` element in the RESCRIPT document.  For example:

    <interface name="Example" version="1.0.0">
        ...
        <extensions>
            <path>/eg</path>
        </extensions>
    </interface>

In this case the path to some operation 'echo' would be `/eg/<version>/echo` instead of `/Example/<version>/echo`.

It's legal to leave the `path` empty, so the URI would end up as simply `/<version>/<operationName>`.

### Omitting the interface version

You can choose to omit the `<version>` part of the URL by defining the attribute `/interface/extensions/path` in the RESCRIPT document.  For example:

    <interface name="Example" version="1.0.0">
        ...
        <extensions>
            <path unversioned="true">/eg</path>
        </extensions>
    </interface>

In this case the path to some operation 'doSomething' would be `/eg/echo` instead of `/eg/<version>/echo`.

### Changing the operation name

You can change the `<operationName>` part of the URI by changing the value of the `/interface/operation/extensions/path` element in the RESCRIPT document.  For example:

    <interface name="Example" version="1.0.0">
        ...
        <operation name="echo">
            ...
           <extensions>
               <path>/ekko</path>
           </extensions>
           ...

In this case the path to some operation 'doSomething' would be `/Example/1.0/ekko` instead of `/Example/1.0/echo`


This blog is dedicated to my great- great- grandfather Manuel (4th generation farmer) pictured here with my great-great-grandmother. Many many years ago now he bought his first farm in Ontario, Canada and soon after helped to frame his first barn–his pride and joy. Shortly afterward he contracted pneumonia and refusing to rest properly died at the young age of 40.
Apple, cabbage and squash season around these parts. And lots and lots of Roma tomatoes. This next week's prep list will include canning tomato sauce, freezing spaghetti sauce and at least a dozen frozen bags of homemade applesauce. I will definitely post pictures and share my recipes. Until then have a lovely Labor Day weekend.
From the earliest age that I can remember-farms and farm animals have been in my world. When I was four, maybe five, I remember visiting my grandparents on their farm. My grandpa had draft horses, milk cows, and chickens. Oh, and kittens and a puppy too. To encourage me to make the long trip to the U.S. from Canada by bus all my Mom had to remind me of was the kittens. Once there I would run around outside for hours, visiting the chickens, watching my grandpa milk and playing with the kittens. Within a couple of years my Mom met a farmer and again I was encouraged to leave the place of my birth, my school, and friends to move to the U.S. and live on a farm. And so I did. Though I was unhappy a lot in my younger years, I enjoyed growing up on a farm.
Perhaps my biggest regret of my wasted youth was not getting to know the farmer behind the great farm I grew up on– my step-father. As his young daughter, I simply worshiped this great man who rose every day at 5 a.m and worked tirelessly until after dark at night. Even sick he worked. Even when he could hardly move his body from arthritis or take a breath because of respiratory problems he'd had for what seems forever he worked every day. He took care of his farm, his animals, and his family well. Even though I know there are many men and women farming who love the land as much as he did. In my honest and humble opinion he was and is the best farmer I will ever know. Because of my own personal issues I never got close to my step-father and that will always be a profound regret of mine. I have talked to him many times since he's been gone, and I know he is in a better place albeit I always thought that to be the home farm. If not for his farm; the farm I grew up on, my younger years would have been nearly unbearable. In me, I see the things I picked up from him. His memory lives in me each day, in who I've become, and in how hard I work. A part of him is in the reason I feel the way I do about animals, about feeding my family well and my desire to help feed others.
I recently learned that all of my grandfathers back four generations on my biological dad's side were farmers (this was a major revelation for me) and this has caused me great pride. I now know that farming is in my blood. My last grandfather to farm was Manuel. He struggled to work the family farm even though he wasn't really happy farming. He did so out of obligation. He died at forty after a long illness. His family was young and none of his children were old enough to work the farm while he recovered from illness. Soon after his death his family lost the farm, and that was the last farmer in the family on my Dad's side.
When I am around farmer's, reading about farmer's I feel a sense of peace. They are my people. We as a people owe a great debt to those people that have from maybe the very beginning of time worked diligently to feed all of us. And I'm not in any way speaking about factory farms. I am speaking about family farms, families living and farming together. The family farm being passed down to son or daughter and the tradition of living and working the same land generation after generation to feed all of us.
Lately, I've spent many hours reading about homesteading, organic and urban agriculture. Some of the books I've read are: Farm City by Novella Carpenter, Growing a Farmer by Kurt Timmermeister and The Resilient Gardener by Carol Deppe. I've also purchased several films on Amazon that I think are good depictions of what farming is really like if you're not familiar with it or want a refresher course in farming 101 like I did. They are: Farming Forward, Betting the Farm, Eating Alabama, The Organic Life, The First Season and To Make a Farm.
My heart says it is never too late to live your dream, to accept your calling or to go after what you want and just do it. That said, physically and monetarily there are limits. I do not have aspirations to milk cows, although I love farms, barns and dairy cows. So I know I will not become a dairy farmer. I am also certain I will not become a large crop farmer growing corn, hay or soybeans. I'm looking into learning how to become – a food farmer( growing food for human consumption). Thankfully my husband is entirely on board with this so it is something that in the next two years we will begin doing together. The first step of this conceived plan is for me to graduate, which happens in just two weeks. The second step will be for us to get our affairs in order with our current home, jobs, and priorities and start visiting some of the places we've thought about relocating to which will help us decide where we want to make our forever home, and then once that is decided the next step will be to buy a home with land. I will still work away from our farm at a job in town because that is how we will finance our dream. Though I wish I would have heeded my true calling some twenty years ago, I'm glad I went to college and will now be able to finance our plans (hopefully) in a much more sustainable way. Me as a farmer will never be the same kind of farmer my step-father was, but the farming I will do be it ever so humble and small will surely honor that life that I once lived as a farmer's daughter.
