Natural History of the Islands of California / Edition 1
by Allan A. Schoenherr, C. Robert Feldmeth, Michael J. Emerson, David MooneyAllan A. Schoenherr
Current price is , Original price is $36.95. You
The authors explore the formation of the islands; discuss the history of human habitation, beginning with the Native Americans who first visited the islands 12,000 years ago; and provide a thorough introduction to the marine and terrestrial biotas of the islands. The authors also discuss past damage and ongoing threats to island ecosystems, including devastation caused by the introduction of non-native animals and plants. Large herbivorous animals in particular have caused considerable damage, since island plants evolved in the absence of herbivores and therefore have no defenses against them.
At present all of California's islands are managed by conservancies and public agencies such as the National Park Service and State Park system, and various environmental organizations are working with them to return the islands to their original condition.

'Your lie in April Season 2' Everything You Need to Know
Anime, Entertainment
We have not heard anything about one of our favorite shows, "Your Lie In April," in recent times. Are you also curious about the most recent developments in the series? Then keep reading this article.
As it is a romantic drama, "Your Lie in April" has become a fan favorite, and after the first season, many fans were eager to see the program return for a second season. The series, however, has yet to be renewed, contrary to fan hopes. Your Lie in April is a film version of Naoshi Arakawa's tragic comedy manga, which he wrote and drew. A-1 Pictures produced this adaptation of the series, aired in 2014 and followed by an OVA in 2015. The program's plot revolves around a teenage pianist called Kosei Arima, who loses his capacity to listen to the piano when his mother passes away. Although the manga garnered a mixed response, the series as a whole was well received. Both followers and critics praised the struggle of the pianists and for the show's innovative ideas and music.
However, fans' wait is not quite over, as the producers have yet to give an official announcement for the forthcoming season, let us see what the chances are of it being renewed.
Is Your Lie In April Season 2 Confirmed?
While the creator has not confirmed anything about the season 2 release, some sources claim that the series could be released in the summer of 2021 or very early in January of 2022.
However, these are merely rumors. Another manga by the anime's creator, Naoshi Arakava, titled "Farewell my dear Cramer," has been adapted into a film and animation. This film is centered on a female football player and Naoshi was working on the same at that time. Now, the author is working on several additional mangas. However, according to certain sources, "the next task he is most likely to work on resembles Your lie in April."
Cast Information Of Your Lie In April Season2?
Season 1's characters were excellent, and we may expect to see them again if the narrative continues. However, several cast members are occupied with other projects, so the whole cast is unlikely to return, but we may see some of the protagonists with new faces. It is impossible to make an accurate prediction at this point in time, but you can expect the below-mentioned voice artists in the ensemble if the season is renewed.
Erica Lindbeck in the voice of Kaori Miyazono
Erica Mendez in the voice of Tsubaki Sawabe
Kyle McCarley in the voice of Ryouta Watari
Max Mittelman in the voice of Arima Kousei
Amanda C. Miller is the voice of Toshiya Miike
Carrie Keranen in the voice of Hiroko Seto
ristina Valenzuela in the voice of Koharu Seto
Ann Taylor in the voice of Nao Kashiwagi
Keith Silverstein in the voice of Kazama
Dorothy Elias-Fahn in the voice of Yoshiko Ochiai
Erik Scott Kimerer in the voice of Takeshi Aiza
Erika Harlacher in the voice of Emi Agawa Julie

The storyline of the Your Lie In April Season 2
Kosei Arima, a piano student who is well-known among all kid musicians, is the central character of Your Lie In April. He defeats all of his fellow pianists to become the greatest pianist the world has ever seen. As a consequence of this, he is a divisive character in tournaments. However, tragedy comes when his mother Saki passes away while performing at a music performance. As a result, he can no longer tolerate the sound of a piano.
Since childhood, Kosei has grown alone and become a cautious nature guy though he has had several friends. He has not played the piano in two years, and he has not even listened to anyone until a free-spirited violinist named Kaori enters his life. With the support of Kaori, Kosei reappears to the music community and falls in love with her. He, on the other hand, feels that his love is unappreciated.
Soon later, Kaori's health begins to deteriorate, and Kosei loses a beloved one during a music concert for the second time. Kosei gets a letter from Kaori after she passes away, provided by her parents. She says that she knew she was going to die and that before she died, she wished to spread joy and bring Kosei back to the realm of music. She also admits that she has strongly adored Kosei and wants to collaborate with him on music.
The second season of Your Lie In April is likely to start from where it left the plot in season one. Fans anticipate that Kosei will continue his career in the music industry and will produce some world-class tracks later on. However, it is merely anticipation and we will get the actual essence of the storyline after the creator announces the same.

Is There Any Trailer For Season 2 of Your Lie In April?
There is no trailer for season 2 since there has been no indication that the program will be renewed. If the season is renewed, we will only see the trailer two months before its official release. However, several fan-made teasers are flying around the internet; if you want, you may also experience the first season's memories from those bizarre clips.
It is no surprise that Your Lie In April is a popular and well-liked program since it has a wonderful plot filled with music, romance, pleasure, and emotions. We are equally delighted, although there have not been any clues of an official renewal yet.
Release Schedule Of Your Lie In April Season 2
Your Lie in April began in 2014, but there has been no sign of a second season since then. The series came to a close with Kaori's death, and the narrative was subsequently dramatized in film and musical versions. On the other hand, fans are looking forward to season 2 to watch the remainder of Kosei's career.
According to the author, the majority of the narrative has already been settled; thus, there will be no further seasons of Your Lie In April in the near future. As a result, the program has come to an end, and it is unlikely that the creator would return for a second season unless a compelling narrative arises.
Final Thoughts Regarding Your Lie In April Season 2
Despite the lack of a second season, the first season itself is a fantastic slice-of-life anime series. To witness a romantic tragedy for the ages, watch Your Lie In April. Enjoy the lovely music, and let us pray season 2 of Your Lie In April comes out soon.

Tomeu Salva recalls his, Rafael Nadal's ATP debut on 20th anniversary
Rafael Nadal clinched his first ATP win on 30 April, 2002, and 20 years later he is still winning matches on the ATP Tour. In the April of 2022, a 15-year-old Nadal made his ATP debut alongside his childhood friend Tomeu Salva.
In his first-ever ATP match, Nadal defeated Ramon Delgado 6-2 3-6 7-5 in the Mallorca first round. Salva was given a qualifying wildcard for Mallorca but failed to reach the main draw after losing in the qualifying first round.
However, Salva still made his ATP main draw debut in Mallorca as he and Nadal were given a doubles wildcard. Salva and Nadal didn't make it far in their doubles opener as they suffered a 6-2 6-2 loss in their opener. 20 years later, Salva recalls how evident it was that Nadal was a special player.
Salva admitted he and Nadal at first were excited, but as the tournament was approaching, they started to feel pressure.
Salva: Nadal is a genius
"At the end of the day, Nadal is a genius, and geniuses always surprise.
The difference that Rafa made with the others at the time was already noticeable," Salva said, per We Love Tennis.. "In terms of tennis, he was already above the rest of the players. And then the most striking difference was the mental difference.
He already had such a competitive mentality, so conquering, so mature on the court. The physical side was also a difference. But the biggest difference was mental," Salva told the ATP Tour en Espanol website. Meanwhile, Nadal is set to kick off his clay season next week in Madrid.
Nadal missed the beginning of the clay season as a rib stress fracture forced him to skip Monte Carlo and Barcelona. "Despite only just arriving with preparation and it being difficult, I really want to play and play at home since the opportunities are few," Nadal tweeted this week. "I will try to do it in the best possible way. See you in Madrid".

Q: SQL update based on column in other table Using SQLite, I am trying to update three columns based on another table (two columns)
The three columns are (Table1):
'AgentCreatedID'
'AgentOwnedID'
'AgentSentID'
The other table (Table2) consists of 'AgentID' and 'Designation'.
If the ID in one of the three columns matches the 'AgentID' in the second table, I want the 'Designation' value to populate. This table is a list of ALL unique IDs and the corresponding designation. Each row of data has a Creator, Owner, and Sender. I need to see what designation that person is from.
In Access, this would look something like this for the first value. I would also need to add the other two values.
    UPDATE Table1
    LEFT JOIN Table2 ON Table1.AgentCreatedID = Table2.AgentID
    SET raw.AgentCreatedID = [ Table2 ]![ Designation];
I am not sure what that ! command is or how it could be used in SQLite.

A: SQLite does not suport joins in an UPDATE statement.
You have to look up the new value with correlated subqueries:
UPDATE Table1
SET AgentCreatedID = (SELECT Designation
                      FROM Table2
                      WHERE AgentID = AgentCreatedID),
    AgentOwnedID   = (SELECT Designation
                      FROM Table2
                      WHERE AgentID = AgentOwnedID),
    AgentSentID    = (SELECT Designation
                      FROM Table2
                      WHERE AgentID = AgentSentID)

A: The exclamation mark is used to separate the worksheet name from the reference in that worksheet.  Here is Microsoft's explanation of cell references.
Now that you know what [ Table2 ]![Designatio] means, you can simplify it to use only the column name.

Miami Heat's DJ IRIE Describes The Moment That Made IRIE Weekend 2018 Historic
Adrian Ferg
DJ Premier doesn't have to do much to prepare himself for another battle on the ones & twos. Last weekend, we found the legendary mixer and producer inside Sidebar in Downtown Miami — hours before his scheduled duel with fellow DJ and producer Pete Rock — doing what he does best before any gig. As the sound engineers prepare the massive speakers for the epic showdown, Preemo was completely unbothered as he scarfed down a burrito from a local Mexican restaurant.
"What was the name of the place we just ate the burrito at?" Premier asks his manager. "Taco Loco. That, and a tortilla soup."
The meal was necessary for him to take on his favorite opponent Pete Rock. Hype surrounding his own battle was through the roof for his fans, however, Preemo says he doesn't need to do much else to prepare for his gigs anymore — outside of the customary soundcheck. The founding DJ of Gang Starr isn't a stranger to the 305, but it was his first time battling Pete Rock in Miami. These rap veterans have been making headlines with their unforgettable match-ups since they first squared off in overseas in Tokyo, Japan in 2010. Over the last seven years, Preemo and Pete have brought their battle to major cities in the U.S. including Boston, San Francisco, and now Miami.

"Me and Pete have been doing this off and on for five years. We never rehearse or anything. We just freestyle the whole set," says the DJ. "The only thing we pretty much put together is just an intro to start the show. After that, I pretty much let him set it off."
https://youtube.com/watch?v=yJihJ5OyWEk
READ: Torii Wolf & DJ Premier's "1st" Collabo Comes Full Circle With Dilated Peoples
His live battle would come nowhere close to the world broadcast of Swizz Beats and Just Blaze's duel in New York City at the beginning of the month. Premier says he was busy with his own show on Sirius XM called "Live From The Headquarters," when his comrades battled but he was tuned in to Instagram Live on his phone to hear it all. Afterwards, Preemo spoke to VIBE about his most recent work with R&B singers like Miguel and Torii Wolf. He also confirmed that he's "one song away" from completing work on PRhyme 2 with Royce Da 5'9.
"PRhyme 2 is almost done," Premier said towards the end of our interview. "I'm one song away from finishing but we still have to mix and we have features. We still got to get all the features locked down."
That's when Pete Rock walked into the venue. Before every battle his old friend greets him with an "L" on his forehead as he points the " his way and shouts "Loser," and that's exactly what he did. As soon as both DJs finished their "Drink Champs" episode with N.O.R.E and DJ EFN, the event was jam packed with hip-hop fans from wall to wall who were all itching to watch the epic battle unfold live in front of their eyes.
After openers like DJ Heron warmed up the crowd, Preemo and Pete Rock made their way to the stage and immediately began hurling classic rap records from J Dilla, Mobb Deep, Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, and plenty more at each other. Midway into their set, Talib Kweli came out of nowhere and shocked everyone with a live performance of "Get By." Needless to say, the battle was too lit.

I did say I was going to post up some pictures during our short trip to Kuantan, didn't I ?
So, Bukit Gambang Resort City is still quite new, if I'm not wrong just a few years old, like 2-3? It's like an all in one place, you pay for a family package, you get a 2 room apartment, with a small kitchenette with a water boiler and sink, 2 bathrooms, a living area equipped with TV (and nothing but a TV) and a balcony overlooking the forestry, or the inner part of the resort itself; breakfast and dinner are provided and entrance tickets to the water park.
#3 Day time activities. lol There is a wave pool, some water slides and a huge kid's pool with lotsa slides n stuff. Well, think water park. minimized.
#4 Make sure you're well "protected" from the sun, otherwise you'll end up having a big X on your back which is 3 tones lighter than the rest; ahem, me.
#5 Not too keen on water parks? try their target shooting. They have paint ball, ATV rides and jungle trekking too.
#6 Running into the jungle? You may have to if you wanna do the flying fox!
#7 Don't forget to scream!
#8 Well, how about horse riding walking?
#11 If the lion doesn't dance, you can ask the elephant to fly!
#13 Hey actually my camera takes pretty nice pictures of fireworks.
Heard about this resort but not really sure where it is. Good for family trips!
Nice resort. You had fun!

Development of New International Civil Air Terminal At Chandigarh:-
A Memorandum of Undertaking was signed on 4.1.2008 between the Air Ports Authority of India, Government of Punjab, and Government of Haryana for the development of New
International Civil Air Terminal, Chandigarh. The equity shareholder will be 51% by the Airports Authority of India and 24.5% each by the Government of Punjab and Haryana. This airport has become functional in the month of November for flying operations. The project was inaugurated by the Hon'ble PM on 11.09.2015. At present there are two issues are pending with the Airports Authority of India/Ministry of Civil Aviation, Govt. of India of this project:-
Direct approach road for connectivity:
29th meeting of the Northern Zonal Council was held on 20.09.2019 under the Chairmanship of Hon'ble Home Minister, Govt. of India at Chandigarh.
Special Secretary, ISCS stated that the distance of new Airport Terminal Building of Chandigarh has increased from Panchkula and for this Haryana Government has prepared a Technical Feasibility Report through DMRC for a new route for which estimated cost is Rs.1357 Crores. With this new route if we come from Panchkula the distance will be far less. Distances will get reduced as follows:
Punjab Town
Existing Distance to Airport
Proposed Distance to Airport
1. Zirakpur 13.7 Km 9.6 Km
2. Mohali 16 Km 13.1 Km
3. Mohali (Kisan Bhawan IT Park) 20 Km 17 Km
4. Kalka-Shimla Highway 11.7 Km 9.6 Km
The Hon'ble Chief Minister, Punjab, however, refused to share the cost stating that they do not want it as inhabitants of Punjab come to airport from Mohali side.CM, Haryana stated that it will save several kms of distance in going from Mohali to Chandigarh and Panchkula also. CM, Punjab stated that we are going through great economic stress and, therefore, are not able to participate in any project.
The Special Secretary, ISCS stated that one top-of-the-head idea is that keeping the population and distance in view, the cost can be shared proportionately as Haryana will be benefitting more but Punjab will also benefit to some extent.
The Hon'ble Chief Minister, Haryana stated that there is one more proposal involving only Rs.60 crores that in Sector 48 an overbridge can be made on the nallah and an underpass below the railway line near the village and STP Plant. This will reduce the distance. Finally, it was decided to examine all these aspects afresh and prepare a fresh proposal accordingly. This item was dropped.
Decision: Item dropped and to be examined ab-initio in the context of above reasons:

Etsy's revenue grows more than expected
By Daniel Contreras / Tuesday, 03 May 2016 10:26PM
Etsy, a New York-based company, posted its revenue of $81.8 million in the first quarter of the year, according to a report released on Tuesday. That is almost $10 million above the estimate made by analysts. Etsy is known for being an unique network of creators and makers of nearly home-made items.
The profit was 1 cent a share, and this result kicked the analysts estimate: Loss of 3 cents a share. The company is making progress on growth metrics and are now in 19 percent in extended trading.
Among the innumerable retail outlets on the Internet, Etsy has long been the go-to marketplace for finding quirky, creative, and beautiful handmade clothes and accessories. Credit: Money Crashers
How did they manage to progress that much?
The focus in the company has been mobile sales and paid services. And all of those are available to sellers in the platform. The sales' growth was a bit affected with the relationship between the U.S. dollar and other world currencies. However, the company managed to stabilize the purchase index in U.S. merchants thanks to the services offered to members of the network.

Pattern is one of those new paid services available to merchants. The service lets the user build their own platform parallel to their Etsy's traditional marketplace. This also included custom domain names and analytics to help the user understand their rhythm of sales and interactions with buyers. The paid service Pattern costs only $15 a month. Pattern is available since April with a 30-days free trial, and it also involves a mobile platform and plenty space to store information and data.
The future for Etsy
The total gross merchandise sales growth was not stable, and actually diminished 3 percent in comparison to 2015. Nonetheless, Etsy's financial team is confident that the sales' growth will stabilize in the next quarters. Meanwhile, the company will continue to use the strategy of offering services to make the platform more attractive. Thus, making Etsy a bigger network and a bigger business able to increase its income every year.

At the University of Lancaster's most recent graduation ceremony, Alex File became the most recipient of the Blueprint Scholarship Award, marking 6 years of the Blueprint Scholarship. The scholarship awards £1200 to the best final year student on the BSc Marketing & Design programme.
Alex will also be coming to Blueprint for 2 weeks of work experience prior to starting his Masters in MSc International Innovation (Design) at Lancaster in September.
Blueprint has strong links with Lancaster University, with our Managing Director Rob Day graduating in Marketing in 1984 and our Marketing Manager Piotr Motyka graduating in the BSc Marketing & Design course in 2014. In the first two years of the scholarship, the award went to the top student of the first year of the course, with Piotr winning it and meeting Rob for the first time in 2012.
"Our involvement with Lancaster University, and in particular the Management School, in providing the Blueprint Scholarship, reflects our desire to implement and encourage closer collaboration between education and industry. We firmly believe that learning is a lifelong and continuous process whose value is multiplied by the wider experience and practical application and testing obtained in commercial practice.

It's been a fantastic 6 years of the scholarship and being able to support the next generation of marketing & design professionals coming out of Lancaster has been incredibly rewarding.
The scholarship marks just the start of our relationship with Lancaster University and its community. Most recently we worked with the Marketing department (with Prof. Maria Piacentini & Dr Ben Kerrane pictured above) on their Deep Dive dissertation module for the Lancaster MSc in Marketing. The module was developed to allow students to take a 'deep dive' into Blueprint as a business with guidance from Piotr & Rob and to then work together on applying marketing theory as practical solutions for the challenges faced by Blueprint.

Vietnamesiskt lackmåleri är en konstform som kombinerar västeuropeiskt tavelmåleri och traditionellt lackkonsthantverk.

Historik
Konstföremål i lack har hittats i gamla gravar i Vietnam så långt tillbaka i tiden som 200- och 300-talen före Kristus. Tekniken har importerats från Kina, där den uppkommit senast under Shang-dynastin. Vietnamesiskt lackmåleri är influerat av traditionell vietnamesisk konst, av kinesisk konst och av fransk konst från kolonialepoken.

Teknik
Traditionellt har de tre färgerna brunt, svart och vermillion använts för lackarbeten. Från 1930-talet började vietnamesiska konstnärer arbeta med en ny teknik för målningar genom att använda spatlar, vilket tillåter ett bredare spektrum av färger och som ger en bättre illusion av storlek och avstånd.

Bearbetning av underlag för målningen
För lackmålningar används en träplatta som bas.  Denna kläs först med en tygbit, som klistras på med saven från ett lackträd - i Vietnams fall Rhus succedanea - och sedan täcks över av  ett lager av jordblandad lackträdssav. Ytan sandpappras därefter och förses med ytterligare ett lager av varm lacksav. Efter polering blir resultatet  en slät svart, skinande yta med stark lyster.

Målning
För själva bilden använder konstnären upphettat lack för att göra en skiss av bilden, varefter färgerna appliceras en efter en, lager efter lager. Varje strykning kräver att föregående lager först torkat, vilket tar lång tid.

Slutbearbetningen består av försiktig polering och tvättning av bilderna. Detta ger en skinande yta.

Genom år av erfarenhet och experimenterande har konstnärerna lärt sig att lägga in olika material i målningarna för att göra dem vackrare och mer varierade, såsom växtmaterial, pärlemor, aska, krossade äggskal, guld och silver.

Modernism
År 1925, under den franska kolonialtiden, inrättades École Superieure des Beaux-Arts d'Indochine i Hanoi. Detta gav en impuls till uppkomsten av en ny konstriktning i Indokina genom högskolans grundare och chef  Victor Tardieu (1870–1937) och hans medhjälpare Joseph Inguimberty (1896–1917). Influensen av europeiskt måleri ledde till radikala förändringar av den vietmesiska målarkonsten, till exempel införandet av tredimensionalitet i ett enda plan och realistiska avbildningar. Genom att kombinera lackarbetstraditionen med den nya konststilen uppkom det vietnamesiska tavelmåleriet i lack.

Pionjärer i denna nya konstart var konstnärer som Nguyen Gia Tri (1908-93), Tran Van Can (1910-94) och Pham Hau (1903-95). I en senare generation av lackmålningskonstnärer märks Nguyen Sang (1903-88), Nguyen Tu Nghiem (född 1922), Le Quoc Loc (1918-87) och Nguyen Sy Ngoc.

Från 1934 har internationella utställningar gjort vietnamesiskt lackmåleri känt utomlands.

Judge rebukes feds over statement slamming Supreme Court's DACA ruling
Originally Published in Politico
Josh Gerstein - August 13, 2020
A Department of Homeland Security official stated in June that the ruling "has no basis in law."
A federal judge reprimanded the Trump administration Thursday over an unusual statement a Department of Homeland Security official issued in June declaring that the Supreme Court's recent decision on the so-called DACA program "has no basis in law."
During a hearing Thursday on lawsuits seeking to preserve the program, U.S. District Court Judge Nicholas Garaufis said he was taken aback by the defiant tone of the response U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Deputy Director for Policy Joseph Edlow released after the high court issued its unexpected, 5-4 decision rejecting the Trump administration's bid to phase out the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Garaufis said the language was uncalled for and disturbing, coming from an executive branch official, and he asked Justice Department attorney Stephen Pezzi to explain.
"I'm just wondering how a decision by the Supreme Court could be deemed by a federal agency to have no basis in law. Can you explain that to me, Mr. Pezzi?" the judge said.
Pezzi, referring to the ruling by the title of the lead case brought by the University of California Regents, emphasized that — Edlow's statement notwithstanding — the government is committed to abiding by the court's decision.
"Obviously, the Regents decision is the law. The government is complying with the Regents decision and will continue to comply with the Regents decision," the DOJ lawyer said.
Garaufis, an appointee of President Bill Clinton, pressed on by urging Attorney General William Barr to rein in the current head of DHS, acting secretary Chad Wolf.
"The attorney general should advise his client Mr. Wolf that it is not [a] benefit to anyone to have a federal agency take issue with a decision of the Supreme Court," the judge declared. "I'm very troubled by anyone who would write such a thing on a document issued by a federal agency regarding a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court or any court, until it is overruled or reversed, any federal court."
A clearly irritated Garaufis indicated he believed the statement could breed contempt for the legal system.
"Anytime something like this happens it undermines the rule of law. We should not be in a position of having to ask the Justice Department to clarify whether this is the opinion of the government or not," the judge said.
It's not the first time the Brooklyn, N.Y.-based jurist has decided not to mince words as he criticized the administration's handling of DACA.
In October 2017, Garaufis called Trump's attempt to end the program "heartless" and "unacceptable." Later that month, then-attorney general Jeff Sessions delivered a speech in Washington where he singled out the New York judge, accusing him of abandoning his role as an arbiter of law.
"A judge's comments on policy like this is offensive, and it's disrespectful of the legislative and executive branches and to the fine attorneys in the Department of Justice," Sessions said. "The Constitution gives judges no right to veto a president's actions because they disagree on policy grounds."
Immigration rights advocates say the administration is indeed defying the high court's decision by refusing to process new applications for DACA as it was before the phase-out was announced in September 2017.
Justice Department lawyers insist that policy is consistent with the Supreme Court's ruling, which did not bar future changes to DACA, but said the wind-down initiated in 2017 did not properly account for the law or the impact of the decision.
Lawyers for DACA applicants are preparing to ask Garaufis and other judges to force the administration to again accept first-time applicants into the program, which allows foreigners who entered the U.S. illegally as children to receive work permits and limited protection from deportation.

I was reading The Economist's featured article on innovation pessimism yesterday. It's very interesting, and definitely worth reading.
Before I read it, I said to my beloved wife that it isn't very surprising if innovation is grinding to a halt, given how scientists are underpaid and ridiculed while footballers, reality TV stars and mediocre musicians are treated like demigods, and youngsters spend their time on their phone and on Facebook rather than reading books and newspapers.
However, after reading the article I'm sitting here wondering why the advent of the computer age hasn't led to an upsurge in productivity. The article in The Economist doesn't really answer this and optimistically hopes that we're just seeing a temporary blip before productivity and GDP start skyrocketing again.
However, I can't help thinking that perhaps it's something else. It used to be the case that manufacturers would produce new and better products all the time, so that you needed to upgrade your old product. The new one would often be more expensive because of the improved functionality, so prices would go up, and because salaries were index-linked, they would rise too, and everybody would get richer and richer. These days, innovation mainly goes into products that don't cost much. If you're using Facebook, you're always using the latest version. It's not like people will laugh at the old Facebook in your living room, and you'll feel obliged to buy a new and better Facebook. So there is no cycle of rising prices and salaries, just a cycle of new and better products at the same price as before.
I'm also wondering about the effect of globalisation. In the old days, developing countries would acquire the old technology of the rich countries just as the latter were creating new products. If this pattern had still been in existence, the outsourcing of manufacturing to India and China would have gone hand-in-hand with the rise of computer programming exclusively in the West. In other words, we'd be exporting computer programs to them while importing manufactured products, and the rich world would remain ahead. However, now programming can be done just as easily in Asia as here, and we don't seem to be developing anything new that we're better at than them. Surely the consequence of this will be that we can't maintain much higher salaries in the West in the longer term, which will be a very painful adjustment.
Finally, I can't help thinking that a larger and larger part of humanity is essentially redundant. Of course some people will need to work in menial jobs that cannot be automated (yet), for instance producing food or collecting rubbish, and other people will have very rewarding jobs on the top, creating entertainment (music, TV and smartphone apps) for the entire planet. However, a lot of people in the middle aren't smart enough to be at top but won't be needed in farming and production. Are we perhaps getting to a situation where we need to create jobs simply to keep people occupied and the economy ticking along? Should we abolish unemployment benefit and similar welfare payments and instead give entrepreneurs a lot of money simply to employ people? Or should we just introduce a citizen's income?
I decided to read Poul Anderson's Tau Zero because I was getting frustrated with the physical implausibility of most science fiction, in particular the ubiquitous use of the warp drive (i.e., faster-than-light space travel), and I had heard that this book explored space travel at slightly less than the speed of light.
Although this did turn out to be the case, I was ultimately frustrated, however. The book's conclusion (which I won't reveal here) strikes me as being just as physically implausible as the warp drive.
Why is there so little science fiction that is physically (and biologically) plausible? Most SF that doesn't involve warp travel instead uses sleeper ships where the crew is kept in some form of stasis, but that is assuming some biological developments that are by no means certain to happen.
According to the principles of relativity, time on a space ship travelling at speeds close to light will slow down so much that putting the crew into stasis isn't necessary at all. Why doesn't this form of space travel get explored more? Is it considered too boring?
I think it would be fascinating to explore the cultural and linguistic diversification of worlds unable to interact in real time.
Everybody knows fractal images (such as the Mandelbrot ones). They are normally two-dimensional, but three-dimensional versions do exist, too.
With the emergence of 3D printers, it has suddenly become relatively easy and cheap to print out such three-dimensional fractal shapes.
I can't help thinking that if you use the largest 3D printers that are designed for printing houses, it would suddenly become feasible to get computers to design and build fractal houses.
I'm not sure anybody would really want completely fractal rooms inside their house — I would certainly prefer a smooth floor and a window in every room — but I'm sure the technology could be used for making houses that at least on the outside looked much more organic. There would be no reason to build smooth concrete surfaces when the house printer could just as easily create beautiful details everywhere.
I imagine it would be slightly similar to Gaudí's Sagrada Família, which is also full of endless details.
Three years ago, I added a metric clock to this blog, but I later redesigned the whole site and the clock got lost.
I think the basic unit should be the day, so that we get some nice units such as deciday (slight less than 2.5 hours), centiday (almost 15 minutes) and milliday (almost a minute and a half). Just a shame there's no SI prefix for 1/100,000, because this fraction of a day is the closest one would get to a second (0.864s, to be precise). I guess people would just say "second" in everyday speech and mean 10µday, just as "minute" would be a sloppy way of saying milliday.
Looking at longer time scales, the decaday could replace the week, the hectoday the month, and the kiloday the year. It would of course have the slight drawback that holidays wouldn't fall on the same point in each kiloday (because it wouldn't be aligned with the solar year), but moslems already have a similar problem with their calendar, so I'm sure we'd get used to that quickly. A ten-day week would lead to different working patterns, I guess – seven days at work and a three-day weekend, perhaps?
To honour the people who introduced the metric system in the first place, I think kilodays should be counted from the start of the French revolution, that is, day 0 would be 22nd September 1792. That would make today (12/06/12) day 80,251 (kday 80, hectoday 2, decaday 5, day 1).
Once Scotland becomes independent, it would be natural to get its own international calling code instead of the British +44.
My guess is that Scotland would get +424 – it's similar to +44, it's available, and it's in the European block.
There's of course nothing that would prevent Scotland from stopping there, resulting in phone numbers such as +424 (0)141 639 9718. However, this would be unnecessarily long.
There are only two three-digit area codes in Scotland, (0)141 (Glasgow) and (0)131 (Edinburgh); these could easily be mapped to one-digit codes instead, such as (0)4 and (0)3.
After shortening the area codes, all Scottish phone numbers would effectively have only eight digits in total, so perhaps the area codes could be permanently fused with the phone numbers, just like it happened in Denmark a few decades ago.
If metric time had been introduced as I suggested, today would be the beginning of kiloday 80.
So Happy New Year (or should that be Happy New Kiloday?)!
It's a very special day, of course. The beginning of kiloday 70 took place on the 19th of May 1984, so quite a lot has happened in the past myriaday (metric decade), and I guess the celebrations last night would have rivalled the millennium parties if only this calendar had been adopted already.
It'll be interesting to find out what will happen in this metric decade, which will end on the 19th of February 2039 (by which time I'll be 67 years, or rather 24 kilodays old).
