World Population: The African Exception
By Gwynne Dyer ⋅ June 24, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment
Filed Under Africa, Tanzania, UN, United States
The news on the population front sounds bad: birth rates are not dropping as fast as expected, and we are likely to end up with an even bigger world population by the end of the century. The last revision of the United Nations' World Population Prospects, two years ago, predicted just over 10 billion people by 2100. The latest revision, just out, predicts almost 11 billion.
That's a truly alarming number, because it's hard to see how the world can sustain another 4 billion people. (The current global population is 7 billion.) But the headline number is deceptive, and conceals another, grimmer reality. Three-quarters of that growth will come in just one continent: Africa.
The African continent currently has 1.1 billion people. By the year 2100, it will have 4.1 billion – more than a third of the world's total population. Or rather, that is what it will have if there has not already been a huge population dieback in the region. At some point, however, systems will break down under the strain of trying to feed such rapidly growing populations, and people will start to die in large numbers.
It has happened before – to Ireland in the 1840s, for example – and it can happen again. In fact, it probably will. When you look more carefully at the numbers, you can even identify which regions will be hardest hit, because even in Africa there are large areas where population growth is low and dropping.
None of the Arabic-speaking countries of northern Africa will increase its population by more than one-third by 2100, and some will even be declining. South Africa, at the other end of the continent, will only add another ten million people by the century's end. It's in the middle belt of Africa that things will get very ugly.
Between now and 2100, six countries are expected to account for half of the world's projected population increase: India, Nigeria, the United States of America, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania and Uganda. Four of the six are in central Africa.
In this area, where fertility is still high, the numbers are quite astonishing. Most countries will at least triple in population; some, like Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia, are predicted to grow fivefold. That is on top of populations that have already tripled, quadrupled or quintupled in the past half-century. Uganda had 5 million people at independence in 1962; it is projected to have 205 million in 2100.
The numbers are simply preposterous. Niger, a desert country whose limited agricultural land might feed 10 million people with good management, a lot of investment, and good luck with the weather, already has twice as many as that. By the end of the century it will have twenty times as many: 204 million people.
All these numbers are based on assumptions about declining birth rates: if we all just carried on with the birth rates of today, there would be 25 billion people on this planet by the end of the century. The key question is: how FAST is fertility declining – and all the numbers in this article so far are from the UN's "medium estimates", i.e. the moderately optimistic ones. The "high estimate" for Niger gives it 270 million people by 2100: an extra 70 million.
It makes no practical difference. Even the "low estimate" of 150 million people in Niger by 2100 is never actually going to happen. That is fifteen times too many people for the available land, and Niger certainly cannot afford to import large amounts of food. Even without reckoning in the huge negative impact of climate change, large numbers of people in Niger (and quite a few other African countries) will begin starving long before that.
So the real picture that emerges from the UN's data is rather different. It is a world where two-thirds of the world's countries will have declining populations by 2100. China and Russia will each be down by a third, and only the United States among the major developed countries will still have a growing population: up from 320 million now to 460 million. (By the way, that means there will only be twice as many Chinese as Americans by then.)
In terms of climate change, the huge but ultimately self-limiting population growth in Africa will have little impact, for these are not industrialised countries with high rates of consumption and show no signs of becoming so. The high economic growth rates of African countries in recent years are driven mostly by high commodity prices, and will probably not be sustained.
It is the developed and rapidly developing countries whose activities put huge pressure on the global environment, not only by their greenhouse gas emissions but also by their destructive styles of farming and fishing. Their populations are relatively stable but their actual numbers are already very large, and each individual consumes five or ten times as much as the average African.
So the frightening numbers in the UN's latest population predictions are mostly of concern to Africa – but the rest of the world is still in deep, deep trouble on many other fronts.
To shorten to 725 words, omit paragraphs 4 and 5. ("It has…very ugly")

Our Impact & Partners
Our process has been tried and tested by Mother Nature for almost 240 million years. Since the Triassic period, nature's 125,000 species of flies have broken down, recycled and cleaned up waste using the worlds most up-to-date antibiotics that they naturally produce. Flies and the larvae from which they emerge are the natural food of many types of animals including fish, birds and mammals.
Our more recent history and business started out in 2008. Whilst visiting a landfill site, we could not help noticing the flies everywhere. As children in the North of England we had always fished with flies on the end of lines or larvae on the end of hooks. So began our love affair with flies. The team developed the notion of nutrient recycling and a vision to make a material impact by closing loops in aquaculture and agriculture thereby reducing the environmental impact of how we make and dispose of our food.

Drier maintenance
Once we had mastered some of the basic farming techniques we moved on to explore and further develop the science. From early proximate analysis, amino acid tests and nutritional studies we were slowly building the beginnings of a business and indeed an industry.
In 2010 we built our first pilot plant at Elsenburg, an experimental farm. We rapidly built an international network of partner institutes – including the Universities of Stellenbosch and Alicante, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Texas (A&M), Rhodes and many more.
Early test and trial partners helped us use our product to evaluate performance and feed conversion ratios in live animal trials on chicken, fish, shellfish (abalone) and pets (dogs).
In November 2014 we started building our first commercial scale factory of over 9,000 M2 in Philippi at the end of Cape Town International Airport's main runway. It is in an area of economic hardship, from which we draw over half of our fantastic staff.
We have recently announced our tie-up with Christof Industries who have become our outsourced engineering department and EPC partner. Together we have developed a standard 250 tonne per day plant and will have the capacity to roll out up to 25 of these factories per year. We are building up our licensing, regional management and biology teams to be able to deal with the rollout of nearly two factories a month.
Given the global need for protein we have huge task as we prepare to get busy saving our seas – one factory at a time.
We have also created a specialist division dealing with manure and other specialist waste streams. The first large test facility of 30 tonnes per day capacity will go live in Q2 2017.

The Bumstead Recording Company
It is said that music (at least good music) has no sense of time or place. It can cross centuries and continents and still sound as fresh and alluring as on the day it was created. This must be true; otherwise there would be no conceivable way (excepting a very successful channelling of John Lennon) that a 21-year-old guy from Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territories in Canada, could make music in his bedroom studio that would sound as if it was crafted on the banks of the Mersey or Thames river in England. Stephen Noel, also known as Boy, manages to do just that.
As opposed to much of the late 90s early 00s bedroom DYI music, Boy's album is not a small LoFi album made on a tape recorder with the noises of the street audible (i.e. any Mountain Goats record) but a lush collection of orchestral Britpop tunes overlaid with electronic whispers. A truly impressive thing is just how much Stephen Noel did in this album. He wrote or helped writing all of the songs except for the one, written by the other contributing member of Boy, David Charles Hamelin, he played various instruments including bass, piano, Hammond, drums, guitar, did the electronic touches on his computer, produced the album, designed the artwork on the CD, designed his website; in general it seems that Noel is on the way of becoming the Robert Rodriguez of the music business.
The music created is easily comparable to many of Boy's contemporaries (Sondre Lerche for example) and spiritual predecessors (as a mix of mid 90s Blur and Oasis and Revolver era Beatles) but in general it stands on its own two feet as a testimony to the originality and creativity of Noel. Sometimes lush and warm, sometimes somewhat distant and distant, the songs flow effortlessly from one another, each written as a little story with clever, insightful though mainly cynical lyrics, and each with its own particular sound that often takes unexpected turns along the way tweaking the old Britpop format.
The centrepiece and masterpiece of the album is without a doubt the third track "French Diplomacy". From its opening notes of horns and strings it sounds much like a previously unreleased Beatles tune, or more like a Sondre Lerche tune that lacks the jazzy mellowness (but in a good way). It's more immediate and catchy than anything else on the album with a spotless production with Noel's soaring vocals singing the lyrics with McCartney nonchalance, and in general Boy created a tune that is both timeless and beautiful.
Although "French Diplomacy" is definitely the highlight of the album there is only one track (sixth track, "Hollywood) that can count as filler. Other notable tracks are "Agent Red and "Joey" (tracks two and five) both portraying odd characters with sarcasm and wit that would compare with the best of Blur's Parklife eccentric personalities (just think "Tracy Jacks"). Another stand out is the track before last, "Punk Ethic"; that has the loud and fast sound expected from its name, though completely unexpected departure after the washed dissonant psychedelic sound of the previous track, "Appletree".
The only complaints that I have concerning the album is that by doing so much himself Noel has sometimes been slightly too self indulgent and unnecessarily string out some songs by a minute or two more than necessary. As well at times during the first listen the sound of the album might get a bit too dissonant to be enjoyable, but eventually after a few more listens it grows on you. But these are very minor flaws in a wonderful debut that showcases the talent of Boy and the internationalism and timelessness of music. Even now, with only his debut under his belt and the hope of many albums to come, it seems that Boy is ready to join the likes of Athlete to be the torchbearers of the new wave of Britpop in the 21st century.

It didn't take long from the birth of the world wide web for the public to start using this new medium to transmit, collect and analyze information in ways never before imagined. The first message boards and clunky "Web 1.0" websites soon gave way to "the blogosphere." The arrival of social media was the next step in this evolution, allowing for the formation of communities of interest to share information in real time about events happening anywhere on the globe.
But as quickly as communities began to form around these new platforms, governments and militaries were even quicker in recognizing the potential to use this new medium to more effectively spread their own propaganda.
Their goal? To shape public discourse around global events in a way favourable to their standing military and geopolitical objectives.
Their method? The Weaponization of Social Media.
Facebook. Twitter. YouTube. Snapchat. Instagram. Reddit. "Social media" as we know it today barely existed fifteen years ago. Although it provides new ways to interact with people and information from all across the planet virtually instantaneously and virtually for free, we are only now beginning to understand the depths of the problems associated with these new platforms. More and more of the original developers of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter admit they no longer use social media themselves and actively keep it away from their children, and now they are finally admitting the reason why: social media was designed specifically to take advantage of your psychological weaknesses and keep you addicted to your screen.
It should be no surprise, then, that in this world of social media addicts and smartphone zombies, the 24/7 newsfeed is taking up a greater and greater share of people's lives. Our thoughts, our opinions, our knowledge of the world, even our mood are increasingly being influenced or even determined by what we see being posted, tweeted or vlogged. And the process by which these media shape our opinions is being carefully monitored and analyzed, not by the social media companies themselves, but by the US military.
MARINA PORTNAYA: When the world's largest social media platform betrays its users, there's going to be outrage.
ABC HOST: The study to see whether Facebook could influence the emotional state of its users on that news feed.
CNN ANCHOR: It allowed researchers to manipulate almost 700,000 users' news feeds. Some saw more positive news about their friends, others saw more negative.
CNN GUEST: Well I'm not surprised. I mean we're all kind of lab rat than the big Facebook experiment.
PORTNAYA: But it wasn't only Facebook's experiment. It turns out the psychological study was connected to the US government's research on social unrest.
MORNING JOE GUEST: This is really kind of creepy.
PORTNAYA: And it gets worse. What you may not know is that the US Department of Defense has reportedly spent roughly $20 million conducting studies aimed at learning how to manipulate online behavior in order to influence opinion. The initiative was launched in 2011 by the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, otherwise known as DARPA. The program is best described as the US media's effort to become better at detecting and conducting propaganda campaigns via social media. Translation: When anti-government messages gain ground virally, Washington wants to find a way to spread counter opinion.
As worrying as this research is, it pales in comparison to the knowledge that governments, militaries and political lobby groups are already employing squadrons of foot soldiers to wage information warfare in the social media battlespace.
AL-JAZEERA ANCHOR: The Pentagon's got a new plan to counter anti-American messages in cyberspace. It involves buying software that will enable the American military to create and control fake online personas—fake people, essentially—who will appear to have originated from all over the world. The plan is being undertaken by CENTCOM (US Central Command), and the objective of the online persona management service is to combat enemy propaganda by influencing foreign social media websites. CENTCOM has hired a software development company called "Ntrepid," and, according to the contract, the California-based company will initially provide 50 user licenses, each of which would be capable of controlling up to 10 fake personas. US law forbids the use of this type of technology, called "sockpuppets," against Americans, so all the personas will reportedly be communicating in languages like Arabic, Persian and Urdu.
CTV ANCHOR: So is it okay to have the government monitor social media conversations and then to wade in and correct some of those conversations? With more on this, let's go to technology expert Carmi Levy. He's on the line from Montreal. Carmi, do you think the government's monitoring what you and I are saying right now? Is this whole thing getting out of line, or what?
CARMI LEVY: It opens up a bit of a question. I'd like to call it a Pandora's box about, you know, what exactly is the government's aim here, and what do they hope to accomplish with what they find out? And as they accumulate this information online—this data on us—where does that data go? And so I think as much as we should applaud the government for getting into this area, the optics of it are potentially very Big Brother-ish. And the government really does need to be a little bit more concrete on what its intentions are and how it intends to achieve them.
4WWL REPORTER: New evidence that government-owned computers at the Army Corps of Engineers office here in New Orleans are being used to verbally attack critics of the Corps comes in an affidavit from the former editor-in-chief of nola.com. Jon Donley, who was laid off this past February, tells us via satellite from Texas, in late 2006 he started noticing people presenting themselves as ordinary citizens defending the Corps very energetically.
JON DONLEY: What stuck out, though, was the wording of the comments was in many ways mirroring news releases from the Corps of Engineers.
SANDY ROSENTHAL: These commenters tried to discredit these people . . .
4WWL REPORTER: And when Rosenthal investigated, she discovered the comments were coming from users at the internet provider address of the Army Corps of Engineers offices here in New Orleans. She blamed the Corps for a strategy of going after critics.
ROSENTHAL: In the process of trying to obscure the facts of the New Orleans floodings, one of their tactics was just verbal abuse.
NAFTALI BENNETT: Mo'etzet Yesha, in conjunction with My Israel, has arranged an instruction day for Wiki editors. The goal of the day is to teach people how to edit in Wikipedia, which is the number one source of information today in the world. As a way of example, if someone searches the Gaza flotilla, we want to be there. We want to be the guys who influence what is written there, how it's written, and to ensure that it's balanced and Zionist in the nature.
These operations are only the visible and publicly-admitted front of a vast array of military and intelligence programs that are attempting to influence online behaviour, spread government propaganda, and disrupt online communities that arise in opposition to their agenda.
That such programs exist is not a matter of conjecture; it is mundane, established, documented fact.
In 2014, an internal document was leaked from GCHQ, the British equivalent of the NSA. The document, never intended for public release, was entitled "The Art of Deception: Training for a New Generation of Online Covert Operations" and bluntly stated that "We want to build Cyber Magicians." It then goes on to outline the "magic" techniques that must be employed in influence and information operations online, including deception and manipulation techniques like "anchoring," "priming" and "branding" propaganda narratives. After presenting a map of social networking technologies that are targeted by these operations, the document then instructs the "magicians" how to deceive the public through "attention management" and behavioural manipulation.
That governments would turn to these strategies is hardly a shocking development. In fact, the use of government shills to propagate government talking points and disrupt online dissent has been openly advocated on the record by high-ranking government officials for the past decade.
In 2008, Cass Sunstein, a law professor who would go on to become Obama's information "czar," co-authored a paper entitled "Conspiracy Theories," in which he wrote that the "best response" to online "conspiracy theories" is what he calls "cognitive infiltration" of groups spreading these ideas.
It is perhaps particularly ironic that the idea that government agents are actually and admittedly spreading propaganda online under false identities is, to the less-informed members of the population, itself a "conspiracy theory" rather than an established conspiracy fact.
Unsurprisingly, when confronted about his proposal, Sunstein pretended to not remember having written it and then pointedly refused to answer any questions about it.
LUKE RUDKOWSKI: My name is Bill de Burgh from Brooklyn College, and I know you've written many articles. But I think the most telling one about you is the 2008 one called "Conspiracy Theories," where you openly advocated government agents infiltrate activist groups of 9/11 Truth and also stifle dissent online. I was wondering why do you think it's the government's job, or why do you think the government should go after family members who have questions and 9/11 responders who are lied to about the air, survivors whose testimony conflicts, and also government whistleblowers that were gagged because they released information that contradicts the official story.
CASS SUNSTEIN: I think it was Ricky who said I'd written hundreds of articles and I remember some and not others. That one I don't remember very well. I hope I didn't say that. But whatever was said in that article, my role in government is to oversee federal rule-making in a way that is wholly disconnected from the vast majority of my academic writing, including that.
RUDKOWSKI: I just want to know is it safe to say that you retract saying that conspiracy theories should be banned or taxed for having an opinion online. Is it safe to say that?
SUNSTEIN: I don't remember the article very well. So I hope I didn't say either those things.
RUDKOWSKI: But you did and it's written. Do you retract them?
SUNSTEIN: I'm focused on my job.
Now, a decade on from Sunstein's proposal, we know that military psyops agents, political lobbyists, corporate shills and government propagandists are spending vast sums of money and employing entire armies of keyboard warriors, leaving comments and shaping conversations to change the public's opinions, influence their behaviour, and even alter their mood. And they are helped along in this quest by the very same technology that allows the public to connect on a scale never before possible.
Technology is always a double-edged sword, and sometimes it can be dangerous to wield that sword at all. There are ways to identify and neutralize the threat of online trolls and shills, but the phenomenon is not likely to go away any time soon.
Each of us must find our own answer to the question of how best to incorporate these technologies into our life. But the next time you find yourself caught up in an argument with an online persona that may or may not be a genuine human being, it might be better to ask yourself if your efforts are better spent engaging in the argument or just turning off the computer.
Am I the only one who has noticed that someone likes to take old conspiracy type videos on MaoTube, and re post them unchanged but with "Flat Earth" in the title. Tricky little bastards.
In my opinion, some decent solutions to the govt's disinfo campaign is to have multiple sources of information, think critically about each, and don't take websites or media figures' words as gospel truth on everything.

Excellent and very much needed video.
Just wanted to add the Eglin Air Force Base reddit-gaming discovery to the pile.
The documentary linked below is a great resource with probably well over five million views at this point, maybe well over 6mil now.
Instead of concluding that it is something users want to access, YouTube has more or less isolated and obscured it.
– so you have to search for it doggedly and very specifically to actually get to this original posting.
Otherwise, now, you get a plethora of newer postings which confuses the issue; many of them chopped-up into various shorts; you'd have to inspect each one to see if it has been edited, presuming you are already familiar with the original.
Some newer postings of it are no doubt genuinely well-intentioned uploads by people wanting to make sure it's still up, even if as chopped-up shorter video sequences – Good Samaritans.
Clearly YouTube's disgraceful handling of this, while pathetically see-through, is designed to confuse – which is the real McCoy?
To me that's malicious censorship – complicity with the criminals that the film exposes?
The original's full length is 3:27:55 – perhaps a bit challenging, but it's a very worthwhile three and a half hours.
I think it works best watched in its presented form, but if you want to get a comprehensive synopsis (is that oxymoronic?) you might watch the last half-hour first, and then go back and watch again from the beginning in however many sittings suit you.
While I originally watched from beginning-to-end in sequential sittings, I've also seen the whole film out-of-sequence many times over (I've never actually watched the whole 3.5 hours in one sitting).
I'd like to suggest that in solidarity with the filmmaker we could all direct people to the original posting easily by emailing this URL as a link, and also actually download the movie and copy it onto DVD's to give away physical copies that could be shared easily – like Good Samaritans ourselves.
By the way, I had nothing to do with the video's production or official distribution – I just think it's a great documentary.
I don't expect everyone will or should agree with every detail presented in such a vast overview (although I find it mostly spot-on), but it's an excellent tool especially for anyone new to the rabbit hole as it brings lots of pieces together in context.
Would you want to review this doc James? I wonder if Connolly is available for an interview. I have heard him speak well of you in interviews.
"The following content has been identified by the YouTube community as inappropriate or offensive to some audiences.
I think the 3.5 hour belabored presentation without footnotes is a bigger issue, though. I am familiar with much of the research, but can't make it through this thing so far.
What exactly is stopping you from making it through the video?
YouTube or something inside you?
I watched this film at various sittings a couple of years ago and found it to be spot on and very powerful.
Thanks for following up and checking!
Not footnotes per se, but more like a bibliography or general source listing.
That's not perfect – I too would prefer a set of comprehensive footnotes – and perhaps we can suggest that the author/publisher develop that as an addendum? – I would support that.
Meanwhile the narrative of this documentary is impressive and generally worthy of note because it integrates a very big picture perspective that isn't often or generally available.
I think it's especially useful for anyone new to the rabbit hole, but also anyone interested in an integrated larger narrative.
Also, I think most Corbettiers (new word for my dictionary!) are already in agreement with most of this subject matter via prior familiarity with many of the original sources.
Where there is disagreement here, that also presents an opportunity to fine-tune various understandings of divergence amongst the open community, in good faith.
I presume you've had at least some interaction with viewing the documentary since you are familiar with some of its format.
The effect of your criticism is to cast doubt on its accuracy, but that in turn should be addressed to particular assertions that you believe absolutely require sourcing information and/or that you specifically do not believe to be accurate.
I actually think that could be helpful.
It would also be especially worthwhile if specific assertions that you might find dubious or objectionable were on an order that significantly swayed the bigger picture, as that is, again, the point here, and pursuing those types of points in that light would help avoid unnecessary quibbling.
Life is short and there's lots of real work to be done.
If you find the 3.5 hours simply onerous (again, I happened to find it worthwhile), you are not obliged to engage a good faith conversation on specific and significant assertions – and honestly, indeed, considering the 3.5 hours, you're probably not alone on that.
But likewise, if you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it.
Basically, I have skipped through segments trying to get into a groove with it over the past tear or so on a few occasions. It has been around for awhile and I have tried. As I said, I recognize the research.
I am not casting doubt on its accuracy and apologize if that is the way it came off. On the contrary, from what I did see it is based on similar understandings of history to my own.
I shouldn't have said its length was a worse problem than censorship either. I simply meant, the censorship hadn't prevented ME so far. Now of course it may prevent people from seeing it.
It really is a matter of time, taste and, perhaps, the point in life at which these things hit one. Right now, I would rather get through Joe Plummer's synopsis of Tragedy and Hope or dip into Quigley himself or study the Rothschild's in 19th century literature or whatever. If I were new to this, it might be just the thing that opened my eyes. As it is, yes to me it moves unnecessarily slow when I am fairly certain I know where it's going. It presumes suspense when I feel impatient. This is not a universal judgment by any means. But I prefer a documentary style like Corbett's, who presents amazing amounts of material crisply and quickly with notes and sources as needed.
You're not shooting the messenger, just his style/delivery.
Well, if I came off as shooting anything, that was my fault. Apparently, because of the loyalty it inspires, the delivery has its place. I will say this, though: the current lockdown of YouTube and the public net in general makes pith more important than ever. If you believe in the helpfulness of this particular presentation, I would encourage you to boil it down, brief the audience like our time is important. If there are things the longer presentation can do that a shorter can't, tell us about that.
This is important, even if it's just to do quick teasers on Youtube to get people over to see it on Steemit.
I have seen the documentary in it's entirety, (yes, all at once), some years ago. I have also re-watched it more than once.
I found it to be very good, although I cannot say that all of his conclusions are in line with my own research, most are, and those that are not, are close.
However you choose to view it, I do recommend it, and have shared it with numerous people over the years since it came out.
As I said, I don't agree 100% with all of it, but I don't think anyone who is truly seeking reality will regret watching it.
I'm not sure of the most appropriate place to put this comment.
A common theme throughout many of James' recent videos is the slow but certain demise of Google/YouTube etc. The censorship they are imposing on so many alt-media sites like James' and others.
Today I learned of a remarkable tale that is 'actually taking place today' (to paraphrase one of James' favourite sayings).
1984 on so many levels.
Some here may or may not be fans of David Icke. I can relate to 80-90% of the stuff he puts out. Regardless, no one on this planet should be subjected to the treatment he received recently by the authorities in England.
From my seat, it's the tip of the iceberg.
Personally, I like Icke, agree with much of his general import, choose to take the "lizard" stuff as allegory and fable, and find much of the rest very accurate and well intentioned.
Same thing as with Bill Cooper, I can't exactly account for everything, but there is undoubtedly truth there.
We must recognize that organized criminal practices and personnel have been folded into the officialdom.
That means in the medical realm (a real problem that may end up costing some of us our lives); in the enforcement realm; in the media realm; in the banking realm (which may end up costing some of us our livelihoods); and in the union realm (as in employee representation, which I support in some ways, but is de facto largely mob controlled, often with earnest players as fronts as well as critical mass).
In this case with Icke the venue was scared shitless Mafia style.
People need to get their heads screwed on straight and support Icke to appear, regardless of whether they agree with his assertions.
It must be understood that censuring in this way is a crime.
Yes I found the video to be deeply disturbing, hence the need to post it here.
Is the day not too far off when James has a speaking engagement in country 'x', has his tickets booked, arrives in said country only to find that his engagement has been cancelled due to anti-terrorism officers making an irrational decision to intimidate the venue's operators?
This is where I log my silly comments and continually return looking for that dopamine hit, which I then get to translate as validation, that somebody likes me. Ha, well fat chance of that!
However, I'm perfectly aware that next to a nice dry burgundy wine the Corbett Report is the closest I've come to being addicted to anything.
makes me shake my head in denial and acute discomfort when I think about how the kids, my children, are being conditioned to seek with such avidity those "likes" and "streaks" and "fire icons" etc.
MBP- WOW. YOU SAID IT. Ive not been the same since discovering 1664 just over the border. Im sure it has something going for it other than the 5.5% alc/vol.
"…When the U.N. released its latest climate report in October, it warned that without "unprecedented" action, catastrophic conditions could arrive by 2040.
She struggled too, because there wasn't much she could do for them.
…The steps encourage participants to confront their climate fears and sadness and acknowledge that they are part of the problem as polluters in a carbon-fueled system, but also find the motivation and strength to be part of the solution.
"Is this the climate change depression session?" asked Kelton Manzanares, 27, from Utah.

Jordan plans to bring the program back to her family and hopes that it will help her kids cope. "They express sadness over the loss of animal species and anxiety over the unknown, like if there will be enough food in the future and where people displaced by rising seas will live," she said.
Almost all of the young people interviewed for this article said they were struggling with the ethical implications of having children.
Jordan said she used to talk with her kids about becoming parents someday. "I'd say, 'You'll be such a good dad.' Now, it feels wrong. They don't talk about it anymore either," she said.
This is so depressing Manbearpig. People genuinely looking for "hope" and "empowerment" only to be taught how to normalise sadness, grief and despair. Good grief makes me want to scream…perhaps I should send them the Angela Davis version of the serenity prayer: " I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change…I'm changing the things I cannot accept".

Wow mbp… that's an interesting question. Love how you got there..I'm thinking on it. Maybe you could flesh out 'bipolar antagonism'?
and perhaps as symbolized by the (di)polarity of water itself, the building block of life as we know it, that is both powerfully cohesive and dis-solvant… ?
sorry… just lazing on a Sunday afternoon… but thanks for the question! At least I feel socially validated!
Repent for your climate sins, you sinner!!
This modern tale comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, also known as NOAA (pronounced NO-ah), which claims that the greedy and sinful ways of humans are causing CO2 to increase and temperature to rise to dangerous, unprecedented levels. NOAA was deemed to be truthful and without flaw, able to accurately forecast the temperature, the sea-level and the alkalinity of the oceans 50 years and more into the future. The people of Earth were warned time and again that they needed to forsake their sins of emission and abandon their greedy use of fossil fuels or face a climate apocalypse.

Kościół Podwyższenia Krzyża Świętego – rzymskokatolicki kościół parafialny należący do dekanatu uniejowskiego diecezji włocławskiej.

Obecna świątynia została wzniesiona w latach 1986 - 1992, dzięki staraniom księdza Wojciecha Krzywańskiego i przy ogromnym zaangażowaniu parafian oraz pochodzącego z tej miejscowości ojca Floriana Pełki SI, według projektu mgra inżyniera Jana Kopydłowskiego z Poznania. Jest to budowla murowana z cegły klinkierowej, pokryta blachą miedzianą. Polichromia została wykonana techniką fresku mokrego i sgraffito według projektu mgr Gizeli Klaryski z Torunia i mgra Jerzego Pasternaka z Krakowa. Freski są związane tematyką z wezwaniem świątyni i tysiącletnią obecnością Kościoła w historii narodu polskiego. W nastawę ołtarza głównego są wkomponowane elementy wystroju dawnej świątyni, m.in. rzeźby: Bóg Ojciec (z początku XVIII wieku), Chrystus Ukrzyżowany (z przełomu XVII i XVIII wieku), figury Maryi, św. Jana Ewangelisty, św. Piotra i Pawła (z XVIII wieku), a także św. Stanisława Biskupa (z połowy XVIII wieku) i św. Floriana  (z przełomu XVII i XVIII wieku).

Kościół został poświęcony przez ówczesnego ordynariusza włocławskiego księdza biskupa Bronisława Dembowskiego w dniu 13 października 1992 roku.  W kościele jest umieszczony dar papieski - popiersie Jana Pawła II, wykonane przez włoskiego artystę Albino Sirsiego

Itching to check out my published novel?
Eighteen-year-old Anna has lived her whole life in shame, losing herself in books to cope with crippling panic attacks triggered by her abusive parents. Forced to commit herself to a psychiatric hospital, she can't imagine a future that's anything but bleak—until she meets Caleb, a gifted, 19-year-old artist who insists he's an angel. He swears that his mission is to help Anna break free from her parents' control and fulfill a destiny that she can only dream about. The hospital psychiatrist, however, is convinced that Caleb is delusional and suffers from catatonic stupors. Anna tries to resist falling for a boy who everyone thinks is crazy, but when she sees his stunning portraits of her and the way he puts himself at risk to keep her safe, she can't help but surrender herself to him in every way.
Consumed by a fantasy of what could be, the two set out to build a perfect life together. But just when it seems they've created heaven on earth, Caleb's past emerges in full force, threatening to destroy their tiny, blissful world. Anna must find the strength to survive what happens next and decide once and for all: is Caleb really an angel?

James Charles' new eye shadow palette features a variety of colors to match many moods and occasions.
With the increase in technology use in society, more and more consumers turn to the internet for advice on the latest fashion trends. In particular, makeup ideas and tutorials have become extremely widespread throughout YouTube. With this easy accessibility to various sources of inspiration and creativity, makeup gurus have surged in popularity, along with the products they promote.
Nineteen-year-old James Charles epitomizes this trend, with around 26 million total Instagram followers and YouTube subscribers. Due to his massive following, Charles' launch of his own makeup collection, the James Charles x Morphe "The James Charles Palette" eyeshadow palette and brushes, was a huge success and has become well sought out after.
"I have consistently watched James Charles on YouTube and as soon as he announced the release of his palette, I knew I had to get one. I love all of the shades and due to its versatile colors I can use it for any occasion," said senior Molly Schiff.
This palette consists of 39 bold and vibrant colors, spanning all color schemes and each having a unique name related to one of Charles' many catch phrases, such as "Love that" or "Sister." It retails for $39, which is on the cheaper side for a palette of such an expansive nature.
The palette actually includes pressed pigments instead of the typical eyeshadow formulas in order to ensure that the colors remain vibrant and are long-lasting. As a result, different techniques should be adopted in order to ensure the best results. For example, Charles recommends using an eyelid primer and then using a flat brush to put on the shadow.
As reflective of the phrase printed on the palette, "unleash your inner artist," the palette was created with the goal of enabling individuals to need only one palette to create any look imaginable. In addition to everyday neutral looks, Charles promotes avant-garde, extravagant makeup looks on his channel, including galaxy or butterfly-inspired designs.
"The release of this palette has dramatically changed my makeup looks. Instead of opting for more neutral tones, I have begun experimenting with bright colors that immediately transform my entire style," said senior Rachel Silberg.
Due to the popularity of Charles and his content, including 9.1 million views on his palette announcement video, the palette sold out internationally in less than one day. It has been extremely difficult to obtain a palette, but there have been restocks lately. Once people get their hands on it, they all seem to immediately fall in love it.
Charles even held a massive Grand Opening and Meet and Greet for a Morphe store at the local Roosevelt Field Mall on Saturday Dec. 1, which attracted hundreds of fans, including freshman Mikayla Gargani.
"I was so happy that I was able to meet James Charles! I have been watching his videos for so many years and he has always inspired me to push boundaries as I express myself through makeup. I love his new palette and use it all of the time," said Gargani.
Charles' palette has proven to be a major success, with countless restocks and great reviews. His ability to connect to his audience through YouTube has definitely helped in launching his career, and it will be interesting to see what other trends are able to transform the makeup industry as a result of this platform.

MANTECA STREETS CRACKING UP
Council not sold on idea of spending $820K to make sure Del Webb streets stay in good shape
Streets in the Springtime Estates neighborhood bounded by Highway 99, Louise Avenue and Main Street are in less than stellar condition.
Manteca Mayor Ben Cantu wants Airport Way and Lathrop Road repaired before the city spends $820,000 on a preservative slurry coating to make sure the streets within the Del Webb at Woodbridge neighborhood streets don't start deteriorating to avoid significantly higher replacement costs down the road.
It is why Cantu thinks the city has its priorities wrong when it comes to its ongoing street maintenance program. On Tuesday he pushed to have money diverted from newer neighborhoods to older neighborhoods such as Shasta Park, Springtime Estates and Mayors Park.
"It looks pretty good right now," Public Works Director Mark Houghton said of the streets in the Del Webb neighborhood. "The intention of this project is to make sure it stays in that condition for the longest time at the lowest cost," Houghton said.
Cantu, for his part, said he understood "covering (Del Webb streets) with oil will give it more life but the other subdivisions are dead already. We need to spend some money to bring them back to life."
The council ultimately decided to hold off on making any decision on the annual pavement maintenance program that this year included the $820,000 for 18 lane miles of streets in the Del Webb neighborhood until staff provides them with an overall review of the city's street maintenance program. None of the council members with the exception of Debby Moorhead were in office the last time the pavement management program was updated.
Cantu is not the first mayor to question the staff's rationale. Former Mayor Steve DeBrum did the same thing when the city several years ago was getting ready to seal coat streets around Woodward Park.
Houghton gave the same explanation to Cantu as he did to DeBrum: Preventative work is significantly less expensive than reconstruction.
Such a strategy was adopted a number of years ago by previous councils — and re-affirmed in 2014 — based on a pavement management update by street pavement experts from Harris & Associates,
The firm surveyed 219 miles of municipal streets in 2014. The survey excluded all streets that had either been put in place or had maintenance done on them within the previous two years.
The 2014 report concluded Manteca needed to spend $37.5 million by the end of 2019 to prevent 180.14 miles of city streets from deteriorating to a point they need evenly costlier reconstruction. Based on spending since the report was presented, the city has spent at least $25 million less than they needed to do in the past five years simply because they didn't have the funds.
The report noted "delays in repairs can result in costs increasing as much as 30-fold. In other words, it is not simply 'pay today or pay tomorrow' but rather a 'pay today or pay more tomorrow' proposition." Overall pavement maintenance cost is reduced by the timely application of crack seals and slurry seals before the subgrade fails and requires pavement reconstruction.
The biggest problem is money. The State Department of Finance estimated in 2017 that the new gas tax that went into effect in 2016 would send an additional $417,208 to Manteca in the 2017-2018 fiscal year and $1,251,552 in the 2018-2019 fiscal year. When it is wedded with existing funding levels prior to the 12 cent a gallon gas tax increase as well as Measure K funds, the city has around $2 million a year to spend on neighborhood street road maintenance.
Some of that money from previous years has been set aside to fund projects already planned for Springtime Estates and Mayors Park where major reconstruction work is required. Both are expected to be multi-million dollar undertakings.
On major roads —commercial arterials such as Yosemite Avenue and Main Street — as well as collector streets such as Powers Avenue and Mission Ridge Drive — the city has been seeking federal and/or state funding that becomes available through grants. That is how the $5 million plus work now underway on the Yosemite Avenue and Main Street corridors is being funded.
Before the council decided to have a staff presentation of the science that went into the pavement management program and the establishment of priorities, Cantu added, "I prefer to use the money (the $820,000) where it is needed and not where it is not needed."
Houghton agreed Lathrop Road and Airport Way "are both in a pretty sad state" and are " in need of significant investment."

Franco, 39, played Wiseau in 2017's The Disaster Artist, which charts the tumultuous production of the latter's 2003 film, The Room.
In the wake of multiple sexual harassment or assault scandals in Hollywood, Franco came on the radar after a short while industry spoke out against sexual misconduct at the 2018 Golden Globes Award ceremony.
"James Franco only prevented Tommy Wiseau from speaking at the Golden Globes out of fear of for how powerful his message would have been", blasted another. "Ok wait. Bye. Christian Slater and James Franco at a table on @goldenglobes #MeToo", Ally tweeted.
If James Franco had let him. "Please never ever ask me why I left the film/tv business", she fumed.
It seems the Francos and Rogan are a part of that following, as they made a decision to create the Disaster Artist (with is an adaption of a tell all novel by one of the actors who was a part of the original film disaster). One of those people was Ally Sheedy, who tweeted from an unverified account. So Wiseau's right. The world is his oyster at the moment, after years of him being a laughingstock-turned-cult-hero.
You can read the full story here at The Los Angeles Times. They're bringing up the incident from several years ago in which he was accused of sliding into a 17-year-old girl's DMs; he was 35.
Instead, Franco referenced something Wiseau said before setting out to make The Room, a movie that's so bad it's incredible.
At the Globes the vast majority those attending - men and women - wore black or Time's Up badges to show their support for the movement.
Pakistan once was a firm US ally, but relations with Washington have suffered a series of setbacks in recent years. Earlier Thursday, Defence Secretary Jim Mattis said the policy on military aid was "still being formulated".
The Raiders have just made another coaching change, and have just one winning record since the last time Jon Gruden coached them. He is now being considered as the front-runner to return to the Oakland Raiders as head coach.
Hosmer, who turned only 28 in October, is a divisive player seen in different lights by baseball people and the stat community. But, for teams like the Royals and Padres who are rebuilding, then this gaudy contract is not worth throwing Hosmer's way.
The source also described her as 'so polite, but also fun and energetic, ' adding, 'She has handsome manners'. Meanwhile, she's following in her mum's footsteps when it comes to a love of tennis .
You can't transfer text messages, call logs, photos (although you can access them in the cloud with Google Photos ), and more. The research has also revealed that the Federal Trade Commission had warned companies about the similar behavior in the past.
While that phrase sounds like typical PR/marketing hyperbole, we are actually inclined to trust Samsung's diagnosis in this case. In other words, aside from its ridiculous size, The Wall is as close to the ideal new TV as we've seen so far from any brand.
The Philadelphia 76ers are averaging 108.3 points on 46.1 percent shooting and allowing 108.8 points on 43.9 percent shooting. It is the most he has done since he was shut down four games into the season because of a shoulder injury.

'/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_icmp -w 1000.0,20% -c 1400.0,60% -H 8.8.4.5 -m 5 | sed 's/pl=100%;20;60;0;100/rta=nan;;;; rtmax=nan;;;; rtmin=nan;;;; pl=100%;20;60;0;100/g'

and it returns
CRITICAL - 8.8.4.5: rta nan, lost 100%|rta=nan;;;; rtmax=nan;;;; rtmin=nan;;;; pl=100%;20;60;0;100

instead of
CRITICAL - 8.8.4.5: rta nan, lost 100%|pl=100%;20;60;0;100

so it works great on the host but if i put this command in nagiosql the current status stay in green "OK" even if the ping failed :
https://ibb.co/LCzvXrV

A: I would guess that the reason that you're getting an OK despite the fact that the result is "CRITICAL" is because the only thing Nagios cares about is the return code of the command you ran (also called an exit code). I would guess that sed has the last word, exits with return code 0 which means "everything went fine", and it did obviously: for sed.
Since you don't explain why you're doing any of this, I can't comment on whether this is a good idea or not, but it seems very odd in my mind to include a pipe to sed in your check command. I understand that you are sanitizing the performance data that is returned by the plugin, but why?
Nagios is built to interpret return codes as the status of your check, that's just the way it is. Whatever issues you are seeing because of this plugins behavior specifically surely can be resolved in another way without running sed magic on your checks that you may or may not get intended results from. It's also worth noting that if you're inserting this into RRD files, messing with the order or amount of values may create headaches, so I really wouldn't recommend it.
As a constructive suggestion in the future, please include what brought you to your current solution when asking these questions, as you can never know whether it's actually the best way to resolve your original issue. This is often called an XY Problem.

Staff of Haddenham-based architectural design and project management team PCMS Design attended the Local Authority Building Control (LABC) Central Region Awards ceremony in Milton Keynes in early May. This awards dinner is held each year to recognise and celebrate the very best construction projects in the public sector in a number of different categories.
This year, PCMS Design was a finalist in two awards categories. The first was Best Public Service Building for its work on a new Community Pavilion for Chinnor Parish Council. This large mixed use building, which opened in early 2016, incorporates changing rooms, a social hub including function room as well as a new Parish Council office. Since opening, the Pavilion has become a very popular and well-frequented facility in Chinnor.
The second finalist nomination was Best Educational Project for the firm's design and project management of a new three classroom block on the site of Biggleswade Academy in Bedfordshire, with some facilities specially designed for pupils with physical and sensory difficulties. The PCMS design included a distinctive barrel-vaulted zinc roof and bright, cheerful interiors.
Staff were honoured to receive these nominations and to attend the ceremony with clients, contractors and building control representatives involved in each construction project.
PCMS Design has its offices on Thame Road, from where it offers architecture and project management services for businesses, public sector and residential clients.

Green Stream Highlights Recent Video Presenting Company's Unique Solar Energy Solution
Pacific Palisades, California--(Newsfile Corp. - May 1, 2020) - Green Stream Holdings Inc. (OTC Pink: GSFI) ("Green Stream Holdings", "GSFI", or the "Company"), an emerging leader in the democratization of solar energy through innovative solar energy generation facilities and designs, is pleased to highlight a recent video produced by Market News First that presents the revolutionary potential of integrated solar energy solutions in our communities and collective infrastructure as well as the unique model offered by Green Stream Holdings.
See "Solar Solutions Follow Electric Car Adoption".
Madeline Cammarata, President of Green Stream Holdings, commented, "Green Stream is dedicated to helping create a world that works better in the future by bringing revolutionary solar energy solutions into the present. Our model delivers value to shareholders by delivering affordable, clean, aesthetically successful solar capacity and solar-based solutions to commercial entities and communities in many markets across the US."
Green Stream Holdings subsidiary Green Rain Solar, LLC, (greenrainsolar.com) is the company's public face and branded business. The video highlights Green Rain Solar's model, as it works to establish functional solar-powered greenhouses in inner city contexts, providing local businesses and residents with a resource for additional food production. These structures are constructed entirely of seamlessly integrated solar panels that soak up solar energy while filtering out the red end of the visible light spectrum, promoting blue/green light, leading to as much as 94% more robust growth for vegetation inside the greenhouse.
The structures are being designed in partnership with legendary architect Anthony Morali of Morali Architects and Renewable Energy Development (R.E.D.), creating a powerful marriage between design and functionality. In addition, as described in the video, these structures are designed to produce an excess of solar energy, which can then be profitably sold back into the local electricity grid.

I had a great lesson Sunday, which I am hoping to post about when I get video from a friend, but until then, I have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to get ready for the invasion guests that will be arriving tomorrow.
Don't get me wrong, I love my family. But no one who has ever met my family would say they were boring. I suppose no one thinks their family actually is boring, but sometimes I feel that the individuals that make up my closest relatives have rather a knack for the unusual. Driving London taxis, hiking the Appalachian Trail, and randomly acquiring new species of animals as pets are just three of the most recent activities I can attribute to them.
The Carolina room is lacking a mattress (coming soon) and the State room is lacking paint (what oh what do I paint it??). Our study will also be acting as a guest room, since where else can you put 7 people (and a dog).
Otherwise, the turkey is ready in the fridge and soon enough the people will be here. Expect a few days away from the computer while we stuff ourselves silly with Thanksgiving goodness. Until then, have a happy Thanksgiving! and God bless!
Happy Thanksgiving and hope you have fun with the fam!
Thank you thank you thank you! Have a happy Thanksgiving too!
you have the cutest house..


The Supreme Court today decided that Congress meant what it said when it enacted the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA requires people in all 50 states to carry health insurance and provided tax credits to help them afford it. To have offered such credits only in the dozen states that set up their own exchanges would have been cruel and unsustainable because premiums for many people would have been unaffordable.
That decision is unsurprising. More surprising is that the Court agreed to hear the case. When it did so, cases on the same issue were making their ways through four federal circuits. In only one of the four circuits was there a standing decision, and it found that tax credits were available everywhere. It is customary for the Supreme Court to wait to take a case until action in lower courts is complete or two circuits have disagreed. In this situation, the justices, eyeing the electoral calendar, may have preferred to hear the case sooner rather than later to avoid confronting it in the middle of a presidential election.

LAWTON, Okla._It's been a little more than a day since the family of a Lawton man heard the news that he had been shot and killed.
Josh Whitehead, 26, was found dead in his car after he crossed the median on Northwest Rogers Lane in Lawton and drove through a Fort Sill border fence. Police say Whitehead was shot through the driver's side of his car and hit in the abdomen. Investigators have not made any arrests or released any details about what led up to the shooting.
Family members are raising money for his 3-year-old daughter and a girlfriend he left behind.
Family and friends say they have heavy hearts, but they have to pull together for the ones still here. Scott Widenhouse, a longtime family friend of the Whitehead's, says he has seen Josh grow up.
"We've known Josh Whitehead for over 10-15 years. We were there when his child was born. He's hung out with the family and he's been around for a while," Widenhouse said.
Widenhouse says he is still can't believe Josh is dead as he describes what he felt the moment he got the call.
"Shock, it was shock. Something like this always hits you hard because it's unexpected," Widenhouse said.
Right now, the focus is on 3-year-old Rylee Whitehead and Josh's 23-year-old girlfriend, Destiny Smith, who Widenhouse says is left with nothing, not even transportation because the vehicle they had was totaled from the accident.
"The blood, I mean, she can't drive the car anymore anyway, and the insurance just expired," Widenhouse said.
The family has set up a GoFundMe account, hoping to raise money to get Destiny and Rylee another car.
"She's got the little baby, and you have to have a car to live and they're stuck," Widenhouse said.
They're hoping the community will put themselves in the family's shoes.
"Anything will help. You're helping someone that really needs it and every little penny will help," Widenhouse said.

Q: How to execute multiple tasks in one child process in fork() how to do multi-threading for this function with dynamic no of threads specified by the user

A: the following proposed code:

*

*incorporates the comments to the OPs question

*cleanly compiles

*demonstrates how perform a counted loop

*demonstrates how to check for errors returned from system functions malloc() and scanf()

*demonstrates how to handle the returned value from fork()

*demonstrates how to avoid 'magic' numbers

*documents why each header file is included

and now the proposed code:
#include <stdio.h>    // printf(), scanf(), perror()
#include <stdlib.h>   // exit(), EXIT_FAILURE
#include <unistd.h>   // fork(), execvp()
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h> // waitpid()

// prototypes
void mandelseries(int);

#define MAX_STR_LEN  15
#define ARRAY_SIZE   16

void mandelseries(int numImages)
{
    pid_t child[ numImages ];

    for( int i = 0; i < numImages; i++ )
    {
        child[i] = fork();
        switch( child[i] )
        {
            case -1:
                perror( "fork failed" );;
                break;

            case 0:   // child
                {
                    char **argarry = malloc( ARRAY_SIZE * sizeof( char* ) );
                    if( !argarry )
                    {
                        perror( "malloc for arg array failed" );
                        exit( EXIT_FAILURE );
                    }

                    // implied else, malloc successful

                    // ... fill in arguments here

                    execvp( argarry[0], argarry);
                    perror( "execvp failed" );
                    exit( EXIT_FAILURE );
                }
                break;

            default:   // parent
                break;
        } // end switch()
    }

    for( int i=0; i < numImages; i++ )
    {
        int status;

        if( -1 != child[i] )
        {
            waitpid(child[i], &status, 0);
        }
    }
}

int main( void )
{
    int numImages;
    printf("Enter number of times:");

    if( 1 != scanf("%d", &numImages) )
    {
        perror( "scanf failed" );
        exit( EXIT_FAILURE );
    }

    // implied else, scanf successful

    mandelseries(numImages);
    exit(0);
}
