It is no secret that 2017 was a pretty wild year for food trends. From the use of rainbows in unicorn grilled cheese, to crazy incorporation of charcoal in black ice cream, there has been quite a spectrum of weird new flavors and techniques to make some pretty incredible dishes. But as these trends come and go, there are some other trends that I hope stay cycling throughout the next year. One such trend is the very green, environmentally sensitive act of Zero-Waste Cooking.
Zero-Waste Cooking is exactly how it sounds and has become quite popular in 2017. It is the task of creating your own meals every day while wasting as little resources as possible. Waste includes packaging, plastic bottles, unnecessary water usage, tossed out leftovers and other resources that could otherwise be reused or recycled.
On average, Americans waste 40% of the food we produce. Zero-Waste Cooking works to change that statistic. Food thrown in the bin wastes not only money, but also land as leftovers cover our landfills. These excessive amounts of decomposing food creates methane gas which contributes to our current global warming predicament. There are many restaurants around the world that have taken to this initiative and have found that they have increased profits and helped reduce their carbon footprint substantially.
How do they do it? It's easier than you think. Much of this waste is simply in packaging such as plastic bags, ziploc, disposable bottles and plates. By using reusable containers and cups we can easily cut down the amount of trash we produce in enormous amounts. Take fabric tote bags to the grocery store instead of choosing a plastic bag. Try breaking out those snazzy drink tumblers that can be washed and used again everyday. Instead of wrapping up your lunch in ziplocks, try your hand in preparing your meals in a bento box or some other reusable container. Many stores have a section of their grocery department that allows you to fill what ever container you bring in with different bulk foods such as flour, nuts, trail mix and more. Some people who have taken to this trend will bring in their own sealed glass containers and filled them up for the week and save tons of cash by using this technique.
Another way to reduce waste is simply not buying more than you need, by sticking to a shopping list you never have to worry about buying something that will end up rotting in the fridge uneaten. It is not all about food though. Some people who follow this Zero-Waste lifestyle also refrain as much as possible from buying things brand new such as clothing, by instead buying lots of their clothes from thrift shops and secondhand stores.
Not everyone can commit to an arrangement like this but I think this trend still has some wonderful benefits that I think everyone could take up. It is no secret that the earth is getting warmer and this affects everyone. So if everyone could pitch in just a little bit, I think the world would be a much greener place. So, next time you go to a restaurant, skip the straw, a little goes a long way.


Guests coming up the front steps of this hilltop home are met with a Carrera marble sculpture by Richard Erdman, titled Serenade, selected by the clients, whose devotion to the process made this an especially joyful collaboration.
Also part of the team were Robert Wright and Jason York of McCormick and Wright, who did the interior design and were a distinct pleasure to work with. There are a lot of details and non-standard finishes in this house – personal taste, not trendy taste.
The dark-grey rough stacked-slate exterior is capped with crisply contrasting white stucco. A pivot-style all-glass front door and surround welcomes you to the modern West Coast lifestyle, framing a view through the house to the hills beyond. Inside, just left off of the foyer and down a few steps, is the powder room featuring Whipple Russell's signature vertical ribbon windows and Anne Sacks concrete and ceramic-glazed tile in chocolate. And to the right and up a split-level are the two guest bedrooms with baths. All bath countertops are Dekton XGloss.
The central open volume topped by a skylight is Marc Whipple's modern take on the traditional courtyard. He took the courtyard, and sunk it so that all the below-grade rooms open off of it, transforming what normally would be a dark basement into a lower floor with light and views – the anti-basement. The large skylight pulls the dramatic focus upwards as well, so this vertical volume contains both dynamics seen while crossing the glass bridge.
Surrounding this sunny atrium are the kitchen, living, and dining areas. The sleek all-white kitchen island and cabinetry are Glacier White Glossy Lacquer from the Varenna line by Poliform, with countertops of Dekton XGloss, Halo Collection, and bar chairs from Brueton. The living and dining areas are divided by a 3-sided fireplace of the same exterior stacked slate, which extends beyond the glass to the patio. One living room seating area is composed of four swivel chairs by Juin Ho, covered in soft white alpaca around a dark marble coffee table with gold mica flecks from Brueton. Next to the fireplace is a Holly Hunt chair and small Juin Ho drink table. The round dining table is by Hellman-Chang in NY, and chairs are by A. Rudin.
Just off the living room, there are a few steps down to an intimate library seating area with a built-in bar cabinet, all open to the central volume and an adjoining home office.
At the back of the house two walls of glass give the living space panoramic views across the pool and patio to the slopes and greenery of Beverly Hills. These window walls glide open for a stroll to the pool and patio entertaining spaces. The property extends out in a V-shape towards the view; at the far point is a large built-in seating circle around a fire pit for gathering with friends.
Because the backyard space is not large, detail was key. The functional spaces – seating, pool, spa and cooking, all needed to be working and flowing together as you look out from the house. The acrylic wall between the spa and pool, pedestal walkways across the water, and specialty lighting, were additions that brought an extra interest and style to the outdoor living space. Marc's design theory here is that in small spaces, refined detail creates more interest.
Also open to the pool and patio is the owner's suite. The painting above the bed is by James Nares, and headboard is by Holly Hunt. The custom nightstands are from Ironies which is available through Kneedler-Fauchere. Three-inch thick resin slabs were countersunk into the tops of the chests, creating an amber pool effect. The fronts are resin, distressed for a crackled linen look, with a charcoal gray finish. Interiors are Mindi wood.
But wait. Did someone mention golf?
The downstairs courtyard area, lit by the skylight, includes seating and wine storage. The surrounding rooms include a full gym and weight room, a salon with massage table and full bath with steam shower, a golf simulator, and an 8-seat home theater, with carpeting from Decorative Carpets. This is a high-tech house. Not only does the home theater have state-of-the-art projection and sound, the car park features a turntable that identifies each car, rotating to a preset angle, enabling it to exit with ease.

FFXIV Beta Codes In Japanese Copies Of FFXIII
November 6, 2009 Ben-Dutka — 16 Comments
When we heard about Final Fantasy XIV earlier this year, we idly wondered if the game would actually be on store shelves in the US about the same time as Final Fantasy XIII .
After all, FFXIII had a June 21, 2010 release according to GameStop (although we still believe it'll launch sooner ), and FFXIV was simply said to have a "TBA 2010" estimated release. Well, a lot of that is still up in the air, especially as far as North America is concerned, but we do know one thing: according to leaked scans from the latest edition of Jump magazine, we learn that beta codes for FFXIV will be included in Japanese versions of FFXIII. The latter releases in mid-December in Japan, which makes us believe the beta will kick off not much later and further makes us wonder if multiple regions will participate in the test. Being the MMO that it is, Square-Enix would be wise to allow as many people as possible into this upcoming beta; we won't have the benefit of FFXIII's availability, but maybe there are other ways we could get into the testing…?
Oh, and those scans also show Hope's summon, Alexander. Fans of the franchise will certainly remember him; he has been a fixture in the series for quite a while.

Even if it's outside of Japan, count me out, I'm not a fan of FF MMORPG, I'm a fan of FF RPG.
I love FF mainly because of the story/

This has probably been answered a number of times over but I am at work and have to step away from my desk soon so no time to check (i.e. I'm too lazy to check but not too lazy to write a damn paragraph to ask a simple question)
Will the Japanese release have any English in it at all, perhaps lending to the ease of an importation or do I have to suck it up and wait?
NeoHumpty
My understanding of it is that the delay of it coming to the states is mostly because they are still recording the voice work. I would assume that means there is little to no English in the Japanese version.
Fane1024
I think S-E said that they had finished the English voice recording months ago, which doesn't mean they're done, since they have to edit and lip-synch, etc.
Giggidy. I'm officially overwhelmed by the next year's wealth of games.
convergecrew
Agreed. And then think of all the games that havent even been announced yet (and the holiday rush also).
frylock25
Ben and Arnold, do you guys plan to review ff14 at all? i was lookin and didnt see anything for 11. i know its a mmo but just wondering if you guys planned on checkin it out. or if either of you guys are excited for that kind of game.
WorldEndsWithMe
Gimme a monthly subscription price on 14. I suppose they will wait until the last second on that one.
i am sure it will be close to ff11 or WoW. probably around $15 a month. i cant see it being more than that. $10 a month would be better though
$10 would be best, but we have to take into account this is the all new MS-inspired money grubbing SE.
BigBoss4ever
i have never played a MMORPG, and because of this reason, i picked up the 360 FFXI Vana' Diel Collection just a few months ago, and try to get myself into this so called MMORPG, after two hours of upgrading the software, signing up an account, I played about an hour and it is boring to the death. I never went back and touched it till this day and I doubt I will ever touch it again.
Hence, as much as I want to see FF14 in graphics category, I dont know if there is anything else can attract me for this game or for the entire MMRPG genre. I will keep my eyes on it

same here dude. i bought xi when it came out on ps2 years ago played it for a little bit and gave up. waste of money wont do it again. im just not the online type i guess.
i am not alone then. lets just keep the focus on the FF13 and v13 then. 😀
I'm not one for MMOs either. I find them fun for a bit but rather tiring with the senseless grinding. Plus a real lack of purpose due to the games not really having a storyline to follow. However, I'm getting excited by FFXIV as they are doing away with all that.
The word is it is designed less with leveling in mind than in following a story progression and most the exp is through questing.
It seems like they are really breaking their backs to marry the best parts of online gaming (the ability to play with others) with the best parts of single player titles (story driven play).
Also with an eye to facilitating solo play (although they have made a lot of changes in the last year to make soloing viable, FFXI, especially when it started, was murder without a party)
Zemus101
Oh how I wish the beta was for PS3 🙁
If the beta codes are for the Japanese PS3 release of FFXIII then they have to be for the PS3.

Man shot by police ID'd, timeline released
Police on Aug. 2, 2019, were investigating a police-involved shooting near 42nd Street and Richelieu Road. (WISH Photo/Andy Garrison)
Posted: Aug 3, 2019 / 07:27 PM EST / Updated: Aug 3, 2019 / 08:32 PM EST
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Authorities have identified the man fatally shot Friday night by officers on the city's northeast side.
Police on Saturday said Deshon Downing, 45, of Indianapolis, was a passenger in a van that was pulled over for a traffic stop around 8:15 p.m. Friday by East District Flex Team officers who were in the area of 42nd Street and Brentwood Drive conducting surveillance on criminal activity.
During the course of the traffic stop, the witnessing officers said the passenger, Downing, produced a gun and officers shot him, killing him.
Police on Saturday identified the officers involved as two white males and one Hispanic male.
The driver of the van, who was not harmed, was taken into custody and was cooperating with police, IMPD said.
Investigators found two guns at the crime scene, police said, and the van involved had not been fully processed by a forensic lab on Saturday, according to IMPD.
RELATED: Police say suspect pulled gun, officer shot him
Investigators with the Critical Incident Response Team are leading the criminal investigation. The department's Internal Affairs Unit is conducting a parallel but separate investigation to ensure compliance with departmental policy, IMPD said Saturday.
An executive review of the shooting will happen after the officers involved provide a "compelled departmental statement," which IMPD said is "an added part of the administrative process to ensure questions are being asked and addressed, immediate policy or training concerns identified and addressed, and to determine the officers' immediate work status before the completion of both the investigative and administrative investigations."
The three officers have been placed on administrative leave and will have access to IMPD's wellness program for coping assistance, IMPD said.
All known witnesses will be interviewed. Anyone who witnessed the incident and has not talked to investigators is asked to call the IMPD Homicide Office at 317-327-3475.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers of central Indiana at 317-262-TIPS.
On Saturday, IMPD provided a timeline of the incident, which is customary in police-involved shootings:
8:15 p.m.-Officers conduct a traffic stop
8:22-Officers advise they one suspect down and incident command is established
8:24-Control holds all but emergency radio traffic
8:25-Officers on scene advise no officers are injured one suspect down and is lying on top of a gun

Moreno, A.; Poggi, N.; Berral, J.; Gavaldà, R.; Torres, J.
In eCommerce applications with heterogeneous traffic, which typically run on execution environments where resources are shared with other applications, being able to dynamically adapt to the application workload in real time is crucial for proper self-management and business efficiency. The AUGURES platform has recently introduced a novel approach to deal with server overload situations, based on the prioritization of sessions according to the expected revenue that the session is likely to generate. However, by denying access to exceeding low priority users, the website may be loosing potential customers, while there might be other resources available in the market of the execution environment, be it a server, a server farm, or a grid. This paper presents an extension of the AUGURES architecture with a simple policy-based autonomous bidding agent that generates automated bids for the extra resources needed to execute the transactions that have been refused by the server due to overload.

Life term in disabled Pa. woman's torture death
A judge has imposed a mandatory life sentence for an 18-year-old Pennsylvania woman convicted of instigating the torture killing of her one-time friend, who was mentally disabled.
GREENSBURG, Pa. – A judge has imposed a mandatory life sentence for an 18-year-old Pennsylvania woman convicted of instigating the torture killing of her one-time friend, who was mentally disabled.
Angela Marinucci of Greensburg was only 17 when 30-year-old Jennifer Daugherty was killed in February 2010 at an apartment about 30 miles east of Pittsburgh. Marinucci's age made her ineligible for the death penalty, which three of five other co-defendants will face at trials later this year.
Marinucci was convicted of first-degree murder in May. Prosecutors convinced a jury that Marinucci helped beat and humiliate Daugherty, who was forced to drink human waste mixed with drugs, because they were attracted to the same man, Ricky Smyrnes. The 25-year-old Smyrnes is among those facing the possible death penalty.
At her sentencing Wednesday, Marinucci apologized for not stopping the killing.

Q: Writing javascript applications with Kotlin I recently started to have a look at Kotlin and managed to create my first JVM applications. It's so cool to have a single language that compiles both to Java and JS. So, now I started playing with Kotlin2js and tried to understand the Javascript interoperability, and the possibilities to use JS frameworks like jQuery.
I found a couple of blog posts and examples:
http://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2013/10/writing-kotlin-in-the-browser/
http://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2014/12/javascript-interop/
https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/libraries/tools/kotlin-gradle-plugin/src/test/resources/testProject/kotlin2JsProject/mainProject/src/main/kotlin/example/main.kt
Is there a documentation of the Kotlin JS library?
It's not yet mentioned at http://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/index.html
I first compiled a simple sample app which used import kotlin.browser.* with gradle as build system which (finally and with some help here worked, thanks again!). Than I imported the project into IDEA and suddenly it didn't compile anymore, I had to change the import to import js.dom.html.*. So, I guess it uses a different version of library? (And IDEA added apply plugin: 'kotlin' to my build.gradle in addition to kotlin2js and I guess this doesn't work.)
IDEA copied kotlin-jslib.jar to lib which says it's "Implementation-Version: 0.7.270" in its Manifest. For the compilation with gradle I used kotlin 1.0.1-1 and I'm pretty sure that I also selected this version in IDEA when creating the project.
So, what are the best sources of information to understand Kotlin2js and the Kotlin-js-lib?
Especially the Javascript interoperability, how to use Frameworks like jQuery (it seems that there is jQuery support in the kotlin-js-lib), but also, how I can use other frameworks that don't come with Kotlin support yet. I understood that Kotlin has the dynamic keyword, and http://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2014/12/javascript-interop/ mentioned noImpl which lead to a compile error when I tried to use it.
Maybe the best way for now is to look at the Kotlin sources?
Well, this is a rather long and unstructured question covering several aspects, but that's my current state of learning Kotlin :-) And maybe others experience the same problem.

A: if you're interested to learn about using Kotlin in Node.js app, I've put together a starter project that running a node.js server written in Kotlin.
https://github.com/techprd/kotlin_node_js_seed
The aim of this project is to write a full stack web application written entirely with Kotlin JS
let me know what you guys think about this...

Inside src/main/kotlin you can add Hello.kt containing a fun main(args : Array<String>){println("hello")}
then the following would print hello
mvn clean package
cd target
npm i kotlin
node js/kotlin-js.js

or you can add a non-main method and then use require() from other js code  or add it to the browser using <script> (together with kotlin runtime).

Family caregiving involves providing unpaid care to a physically or cognitively impaired older family member, friend, or partner outside the realm of usual family support. (Curry, L. 2006). Educational needs of employed family caregivers of older adults: evaluation of a workplace project. Geriatric Nursing, 27(3), 166-173.
Caregiving can be rewarding and yet a challenge. The stress and strain of caregiving can be detrimental to the care provider's health. The complexity of transitioning into the role of caregiver to identifying adequate resources for both the care recipient and care provider can be laborious. However, when proper resources have been identified for those involved it can make the process of caregving run smoothly. Furthermore, being an active member of the interprofessional healthcare team has its benefits.
The concept of this module is to give healthcare professionals and students and understanding of the caregiver role while utilizing an interprofessional approach to care.
Provide information regarding transitioning to the caregiver role.
Provide guidelines to assess caregiver parameters.
Identify caregiver concerns and current social supports.
Discuss the role of the interprofessional team in supporting older adults and families experiencing caregiver roles.
Promote understanding of the caregiver role and identification of care recipient resources.

The mad scientist behind America's mind-control quest with LSD

CIA's new recruitment website aims to diversify spy agency
In his mid-20s, future crime kingpin Whitey Bulger spent time in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary for hijacking and armed robbery. While there, he volunteered to be part of a drug experiment that sought to find a cure for schizophrenia.
Or so he was told.
In reality, the experiment sought to determine how much LSD the human mind could take before it snapped. Bulger was fed large doses of the drug nearly every day for 15 months without being told what it was.
He later wrote of the horrors he experienced during this time.
"Hallucinating. Hours of paranoia and feeling violent. We experienced horrible periods of living nightmares and even blood coming out of the walls. Guys turning to skeletons in front of me. I saw a camera change into the head of a dog. I felt like I was going insane."
When Bulger asked to be released from the experiment, he was refused since, he was told, "We are close to finding the cure."
Bulger, who was later convicted of 11 murders, may be an unsympathetic victim, but these same experiments were being conducted on unsuspecting civilians at the behest of one power-mad CIA official.
"Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control" (Henry Holt) by Stephen Kinzer tells the story of Gottlieb, a chemist obsessed with finding a way to control the human brain, no matter how many innocent minds he destroyed in the process.
Born in The Bronx in 1918, Gottlieb received a doctorate in biochemistry and after working several research jobs for the government, was recruited by the CIA in 1951 by Deputy Director Allen Dulles, who would later lead the agency.
Dulles believed that there were undiscovered methods for controlling the human mind, and that these processes could help the US win wars. He hired Gottlieb to lead the effort into mind-control research, which he named "Artichoke," by any means necessary.
Many in the intelligence community were convinced that the Soviet Union and China had made great advancements in brainwashing, and they sought to perfect the technique themselves. Hypnosis and electroshock were among the methods tested, but Gottlieb became obsessed with the potential of LSD.
After sampling the drug himself and feeling "as though I am in a kind of transparent sausage skin that covers my whole body," he began testing it on military volunteers. Soon after, he stopped caring whether people had volunteered and began administering the drug to unwitting subjects, including CIA trainees.
Gottlieb and many around him truly believed that LSD held the secret to controlling minds.
"CIA employees were given LSD and then induced to violate oaths and promises," Kinzer writes. "In one [mock interrogation], a military officer swore never to reveal a secret, revealed it under the influence of LSD, and afterward forgot the entire episode . . . Gottlieb came to believe that [LSD] could be the key to mind control. He was the first acid visionary."
To help further this research, Gottlieb recruited doctors around the country to carry out experiments on unwitting psychiatric patients.
"One of them, Paul Hoch of New York Psychiatric Institute, agreed to inject mescaline into one of his patients so its effects can be observed," Kinzer writes. "He chose a 42-year-old professional tennis player named Harold Blauer, who had come to him seeking treatment for depression following a divorce."
In late 1952, one of Hoch's assistants injected Blauer six times over the course of a month, without identifying the drug. Blauer complained of hallucinations, but "Hoch insisted that he proceed."
"On Jan. 8, 1953, Blauer was given a dose 14 times greater than previous ones. The protocol notes that he protested when he was injected at 9:53 a.m. Six minutes later he was flailing wildly. At 10:01 his body stiffened. He was pronounced dead at 12:15."
Gottlieb, given free rein by the CIA, authorized and funded "experiments" like this across the country, victimizing countless innocent people who simply sought relief for medical and psychological issues.
"Under Gottlieb's direction, with Dulles' encouragement . . . Artichoke had became one of the most violently abusive projects ever sponsored by an agency of the United States government," Kinzer writes.
The eventual breadth of the program, which was rechristened MK-ULTRA and given an even larger budget, was stunning.
The "black site," where prisoners were taken for experiments.
In 1953, Gottlieb rented two adjacent apartments at 81 Bedford St. in Greenwich Village for a CIA contractor named George Hunter White.
White, Kinzer writes, was "a hard-charging narcotics detective who . . . regularly used illegal drugs" and also enjoyed "sadomasochism . . . patronizing prostitutes who bound and whipped him."
Gottlieb offered him a job "running a CIA 'safe house' where he would dose unsuspecting visitors with LSD and record the results."
So White, who had gained notoriety in 1949 when he arrested singer Billie Holiday for opium possession, was paid by the US government to befriend drug users, petty criminals and others who wouldn't complain about being wronged, bring them back to Bedford Street and dose them with LSD without their knowledge.
Gottlieb and White later repeated the technique in San Francisco with one variation. Instead of recruiting victims himself, White served as a pimp, keeping a stable of prostitutes who would dose men with LSD before having sex with them so Gottlieb could study the effects of the drug on sexual activity.
In time, Gottlieb was running similar safe houses around the world, and his experiments became even more audacious and cruel. When he decided to try to learn just how much LSD the human mind could take, he recruited prison doctors around the country. While Bulger was one victim, most were African American.
He also got more doctors and hospitals around the country involved, funneling the money through front groups to hide the CIA's involvement.
At the Boston Psychopathic Hospital, "hundreds of students from Harvard, Emerson and MIT were paid $15 to drink a little vial of a clear, colorless, odorless liquid that might produce an altered state." It was later found that "none of those involved in the experiments had the proper training or understanding to guide participants . . . [and] several [students] had negative reactions. One hanged herself in a clinic bathroom."
In experiments conducted by a New York allergist named Harold Abramson, who received $85,000 from Gottlieb, Kinzer writes that "12 'pre-puberty' boys were fed psilocybin, and 14 children between the ages of 6 and 11, diagnosed as schizophrenic, were given 100 micrograms of LSD each day for six weeks."
Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, left, a former CIA scientific chief, talks with his attorney Terry Lepsing before testifying to a Senate health subcommittee.AP
In time, though, reality set in, and Gottlieb realized that LSD had no effect as a mind-control agent. As we now know, it has very much the opposite effect, and became a favored drug of the counterculture. LSD pioneer Ken Kesey, Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter and Beat legend Allen Ginsberg all came to know the drug as volunteers in Gottlieb's experiments.
MK-ULTRA was slowly wound down in the early '60s, ending completely by the end of 1963.
Gottlieb continued on at the CIA, working on more conventional spy-craft devices like rocket launchers and bomb sensors to help the Vietnam War effort.
He retired in 1973 after 22 years with the agency, destroying all the MK-ULTRA files (or so he thought) before he left.
When another secret CIA program was exposed by reporter Seymour Hersh in 1974, it ignited a slew of investigations into the CIA, and Gottlieb's name was made public in regard to the LSD experiments in 1975. He eventually testified before Congress several times, but only after being granted immunity from prosecution.
By the end of his life, he was working as a speech pathologist for children. He died in 1999, and never paid for his cruelty.
John Marks, whose book, "The Search for the Manchurian Candidate," exposed MK-ULTRA after he found files that Gottlieb missed, said the following after his death:
"He was unquestionably a patriot, a man of great ingenuity. He thought he was doing exactly what was needed. But with his experiments on unwitting subjects, he clearly violated the Nuremberg standards — the standards under which, after World War II, we executed Nazi doctors for crimes against humanity."

Eczema seems like it comes out of nowhere at times, but that is where knowing some secrets about eczema and how it gets started can help you learn how to identify and deal with your particular problems.
The type of eczema that essentially comes from inside your body and causes outbreaks on the skin is labeled atopic eczema. That means you have a pre-existing tendency for your skin to become inflamed. All sorts of triggers may generate atopic eczema, and consultation with your dermatologist and testing may be necessary to determine the root causes of atopic eczema.
The other type of eczema that is produced as reactions to outside substances or materials is known as contact dermatitis, which manifests itself as reactions on the skin such as redness, itching, dryness and even sores.
Combatting contact dermatitis is a question of surveying the conditions in which you live and work to identify possible irritants in your environment.
For starters, you should consider whether the sheets, mattresses and pillows in your house may be touchpoints for allergies and even eczema on your body. Bed sheets and covers can be collection points for skin irritants left behind by dust mites. Dust mites exist in virtually every home, and eliminating dust mites can be a time-consuming, expensive, even impossible process.
There is a simple, effective step you can take to guard against letting dust mites rule your life. In some respects, dust mites perform a very natural function. Basically they are garbage recyclers that eat the dead skin you slough off. However dust mites also poop after they eat, generating additional microscopic bits of material that when allowed to float in the air you breathe, collect in your vents and carpets, and settle in your bedding can lead to sometimes severe reactions including allergies and possibly even eczema.
Using dust mite and bed bug covers in place of standard sheets can help you eliminate a large percentage of the irritants produced by dust mites. The finer weave of these bedding products can greatly reduce dust mites and bed bug infestations in your mattress, box spring and pillow covers. When combined with allergy free bedding you reduce risks of both eczema-producing irritants and allergens that can lead to sneezing, wheezing and misery from watery eyes. While the connection between eczema and dust mites remains somewhat conjectural, it remains wise to reduce the cycle of skin irritants in general if you are susceptible to conditions such as contact dermatitis.
Solving your personal eczema puzzle, whether it derives from atopic or contact dermatitis, requires study of your lifestyle and products used in daily hygiene.
Researching your use of soaps and detergents to determine whether they remove the natural oils from the skin, leaving you susceptible to irritation is one of the first and most important steps in curing your eczema. It is best to replace scrubbing soaps with an emollient in the bath and shower. Then consider using an Eczema Cream that is ideal for daily use to get eczema under control.
TriDerma Eczema Cream for face and body contains no cortisone, making it gentle enough for regular use, even with children. Its natural ingredients moisturize skin without a greasy feel and can be applied directly by hand. You'll feel relief and renewed comfort with your own skin.
While these products and processes will not completely eliminate your risk of developing eczema, they are important steps to incorporate in managing your condition and to make it less serious. No one likes to scratch and itch their way through life. Better to scratch the itch of curiosity about what you can do about eczema.


With Michael Jackson's O2 residency now just weeks away, promoters AEG have been building up the hype with details of the show, and assurances that Jackson's fit as a fiddle.
"Originally we tried to keep the show down to 90 minutes, but Michael has so many must-do songs in his repertoire that the shows now will be two-plus hours," AEG Live head honcho Randy Phillips said.
He promised Billboard that the gigs would feature "the most cutting edge ever employed on a tour. We're using technology that's never been used before in live entertainment."
And no, these won't be hologram Jacksons with a Greatest Hits CD plugged in the back. "Michael's in incredible physical shape, he's got tremendous stamina, he's been working out aerobically preparing for this, and he is totally engaged," Phillips assured doubters. "He sounds like Michael Jackson. He is laser-focussed on making this the greatest entertainment event that fans have ever seen."


As you might guess, when thinking of the Crater at Petersburg, a subject which crosses my mind is the use of artillery in the operation. Not to diminish the other aspects of the battle, but the artillery of the Army of the Potomac played an important role there… and is somewhat overlooked in my opinion. I'm not an expert in the battle. So I would direct you to one of many folks who have written book length treatments of the battle.
For those who are squinting, the roll call is eighteen 4-½-inch rifles, two 20-pdr Parrotts, fifty-two 3-inch rifles (3-inch Ordnance or 10-pdr Parrotts), thirty-eight 12-pdr Napoleons, ten 10-inch mortars, sixteen 8-inch mortars, and twenty-eight Coehorn mortars. Grand total is 164 guns and mortars brought to bear on the Confederate lines in support of the assault.
Some of that number were in the 18th Corps sector and not firing directly in support of the assault. Others were, likewise, firing on the 5th Corps front well to the south of the crater. But all were firing at some time that morning to suppress or pin down the Confederates in conjunction with the assault. For comparison, the "great bombardment" by the Confederates on July 3, 1863 during that "contest" at Gettysburg involved about 140 guns.
Hunt's map indicates not only the battery positions, but also what the targets were. This adds to the "clutter" on the map. But this is an incredible resource for determining his intent with respect to the fires placed upon the Confederate lines.
The snip above looks at the area of the mine, and just south. Notice there are more dashed blue lines leading to the Confederate redoubt south of the mine than there are the redoubt above the mine. Suppression of the Confederate line was the intent there.
Another Federal position worth noting is that of Company C, 1st Connecticut Heavy Artillery. Battery number 8 on Hunt's map contained ten 10-inch mortars. Circled here in blue.
Those mortars fired on approximately 1,000 yards of the Confederate front, to the south of the crater (blue shading in the snip above). Recall, these mortars were firing, for at least part of the day, case shot as constructed under Colonel Henry Abbot's instructions. Battery Number 19, Company B, 1st Connecticut, with six 4-½-inch rifles, located north-east (center-right on the snip above) of the mortars also covered a large section of the Confederate lines.
One problem with these arrangements is that suppressing fire requires a high rate of ammunition expenditure. Suppressing fire cannot be sustained, even by a master artillery chief such as Hunt, for longer than a few hours. At some point, fresh ammunition chests must be rotated in. The assault had to quickly achieve the initial objectives, or lose the suppressing fire support.
Napoleons (and siege howitzers) as mortars: More data and range tables!
Back in May I wrote about a "suggestion" from Brigadier-General Henry Hunt in regard to firing 12-pdr Light Field Guns – Napoleons – as mortars. Hunt inquired with Colonel Henry L. Abbot, 1st Connecticut Heavy Artillery and the presumptive commander of the siege artillery to support the Army of the Potomac, about testing Napoleons dug in to fire at high angle. In that post, I remarked that Abbot "… had not gotten around to trials of the Napoleons as mortars. Nor would he." A few days after the request, Abbot moved to Fort Monroe to join the Army of the James. Well, I have a correction to make!
Commenter John Wells offered "a vague recollection of reading in some period artillery manual or other that the Napoleon could be reversed on its carriage to allow high angle of fire "mortar practice"" At the time, I didn't recall such, but noted there was mention of siege howitzers employed in that manner. But John's comment, coming from someone knowledgeable on Civil War era weapons, had me double checking. Sure enough, a passage from Abbot laid out those experiments with some detail. John was spot on!
The advantages of vertical fire under certain circumstances are so great, that in May, 1864, a few experiments were made, under my direction, by Captain [Wilbur F.] Osborne, 1st Connecticut artillery, to test the light 12-pounder gun as a mortar. They indicated that it might be thus used when mortars could not be procured; but the expedient was never necessary in the siege of Richmond.
The carriage was dismounted and the gun reversed in its trunnion beds so as to point over the trail. Two parallel skids laid in a direction perpendicular to the parapet and separated by the proper interval, supported the axle at such a height as to allow the breech to be depressed between them sufficiently to give an angle of elevation of 45º to the piece. The breech rested on a kind of quoin, and it was found necessary to tie the trail down with the prolonge when the gun was fired. With five ounces of powder, giving a range of about 1600 yards, the strain upon the carriage was inappreciable. Solid shot (weighing 12.12 pounds) were used; and with charges of four ounces and less, the sabot was not detached until striking the ground. With very small charges the sabot passed below the vent, but the friction primer always ignited the powder. These experiments were made in grate haste, at the request of General Hunt, chief of artillery, army of the Potomac, only three days before starting for the field, and no very extended trial was practicable.
For comparison, the standard Napoleon load for a solid shot in horizontal fire was 2.5 pounds, giving 1,680 yards at 5º elevation. So almost the same range, with a lot less powder. But that's mortar powder instead of the standard grade cannon powder, mind you. The ranges cited were for solid shot. Using shell, I would think the ranges would, as they did for horizontal fire, drop off to around 1,300 yards. And shells were more practical for vertical fire.
The practical issue with the arrangement used in the tests was the modification of the weapon mounting. Dismounting a 1,225 pound bronze gun was no trivial matter in the field. And for the field artillerists, who would need to employ the gun in most cases for direct, horizontal, fire, this would mean two periods of time in which the gun was unavailable for use. Not to mention the need to bring along wood for rails, as tested by Osborne.
Similar experiments with an 8-inch howitzer were conducted by Lieutenant Colonel [Joseph A.] Haskin, in charge of the defenses north of the Potomac, in October, 1863. The following are the results obtained by him and communicated in the manner above described.
The variation in range between the two models, of which the bores differ only in the form of the chamber, (elliptical and gomer,) will be noticed with surprise. It accords with my own experiments, soon to be given, with the new and old model mortars. The absolute value of the range shows that a considerable economy in powder wold result from using the howitzer instead of the mortar, but in service this advantage would be more than balanced by the greater inconvenience of loading and pointing. It is, however, a fact worth remembering that vertical fire, in cases of necessity, can be obtained readily and effectively from guns and howitzers.

DreamHost, the Web hosting and cloud computing company, is diving into the cloud-based object storage industry with its new DreamObjects service, which is built upon the open source Ceph file system originally developed by – who else? – DreamHost.
In addition to the Ceph file system, DreamObjects was built on a variety of other open source tools, including the Ubuntu Linux 12.4 OS distribution from Canonical and the open source Chef tool for automated provisioning and configuration. DreamHost will also be contributing code back to these open source communities.
Over 300,000 developers and entrepreneurs, across the world, currently make up DreamHost's customers, and the company has been designing much of DreamObjects's functionality based on that audience's needs thanks to initial feedback.
Among the primary features of the DreamObjects service is API compatibility with other major object storage services (including Amazon S3 and Rackspace Cloud Files). It will also come with easy-to-use interfaces and simple pricing schemes that come standard with the service.
Pricing starts at seven cents per GB per month, and can dip below five cents per GB per month for some monthly prepaid plans. To transfer data from the service it will cost seven cents per GB.
Initially, DreamObjects will be offered as a public beta, and interested users can sign up on DreamHost's website. The company also plans to offer a free two-month trial of DreamObjects with 10GB of storage and 20GB of transfer data, only charging the regular rates for overage beyond the trial-sized resources.

innovator of healthy, tasty and natural food for dogs and cats.
Love for dogs and cats is the starting point for every single OLIVERS product. We always ask ourselves the same question: "How can we help to ensure that dogs and cats can have optimal life quality?" The answer is simple: "We can help by providing the building blocks for a strong and healthy body, so puppies and kittens can grow up to become healthy adult and senior pets."
Healthy eating is important throughout life. Optimal nutrition can decrease several risk factors for the individual pet, which means that the likelihood of having to visit the vet every month with problems affecting mobility, skin and coat, is significantly decreased.
It's not rocket science & you actually just start by carefully choosing your suppliers, always keeping in mind the nature of wild carnivores. It's all about high quality fresh meat and the origin and quality of the meat sources. OLIVERS goes a long way to ensure this quality. Germany has the highest quality local farmer chicken, while Great Britain offers a superior selection of fresh lamb and local salmon. This is the reason for not just choosing 1 supplier. Instead, we decided to work with the best pet food manufacturer from each of these 2 countries. We will never compromise on quality.
The popularity of Grain Free Diets has swept across many pet food markets all over the world. OLIVERS has been at the very forefront of this movement and we introduced our Adult Fish Grain Free almost 10 years ago. This grain free product was from the very beginning extremely well received by our customers, and the same is true for our other grain free products introduced over the years. Removing the grain has, according to feedback from many of our customers, several advantages especially when it comes to dogs suffering from skin and coat problems. Customer feedback is repeatedly making it clear that many skin and coat issues, including clinical signs associated with allergic reactions, can be managed by removing grain and replacing that with more natural meat.
When you call OLIVERS, it's not unusual if you hear a dog barking in the background. Most of our employees bring their dog to the office every day. It may seem funny to others, but we are dead serious when we say that the dogs keep us on track, and make us remember why we come to work every day. We love to serve our dogs and keeping our dogs visible in the office makes OLIVERS DNA very clear to all of us.
We always aim to implement innovation in our product development as well as in the daily business.
This is just some of the things that makes OLIVERS unique.
Please contact Dorte Kjær, CEO, to learn more about opportunities in wholesale of OLIVERS.
OLIVERS has sense 1998 delivered high quality dog and cat food. Today OLIVERS has a wide range of quality products Eg. Organic dog and cat food and accessories from the world's best brands.

Q: How to create a function which calls a function I'm using a jquery file which has a image zoom functionality:
http://www.albanx.com/jslibs/axzoomer.js
Everything is working fine. But now i need a feature which is not included with the plugin.
On the zoom activating event the default zoom level should be changed.
I've tryied something like this:
imageLoaded:function()
{
    return this.each(function()
    {
        var $this = $(this);
        $this.zoomInOut(1.5);

        // zoomInOut(1.5);
    });
},

But no luck... Since i'm not sure how the functions are working in jQuery, and the zoomInOut is the function inside function as i figured out...
Any help is appreciated.
UPDATE
The function displayed before is integrated into this js file:
http://www.ifmi.lt/public/axzoomer/axzoomer-1.5.js ( Line 382 ).
For those who does not know hot the axzoomer works: you need to provide 2 images one in normal size, another the big size for zoom. Then the initial zoom starting by scaling the small image, when the scale of image is more than 1.2 then the big image is loading.
In my code since i'm using the jquery.reel library also i customized a bit the axzoomer approach. When zoom button is clicked then this function is being called:
function zoomImage ()
{
    var value = Number ( $('#image360').attr('src').split ( '_' )[1].split ( '.' )[0] );

    $('#zoom-content').load( initiateZoom );

    $('#zoom-content').attr ( 'src', 'products/1/' + value + '.jpg' );
    $('#zoom-content').attr ( 'src-big', 'product/1/zoom/' + value + '.jpg' );

    $('#zoom-content').axzoomer({

}

After the small image has been loaded, the initiateZoom function is called.
The axzoomer ( 'imageLoaded' ); function is reachable from js, it is called when the small image is loaded:
function initiateZoom()
{
    $('#zoom-content').axzoomer ( 'enable' );
    $('#zoom-content').axzoomer ( 'imageLoaded' );
}

But inside of the imageLoaded ( in the axzoomer.js function starting on line 382 ) i can not reach the zoomInOut function, to zoom the image on initial load.

A: okay, made a different approach to the problem and it was solved in no time.
Here is the sollution.
the file: http://www.ifmi.lt/public/axzoomer/axzoomer-1.5+.js

*

*Added new setting parameter: initialZoom ( line 32 )

*Added the checking for the initialZoom parameter ( line 382 )

The new functionality checks for the initialZoom parameter, and if it exists, zooms the image by that amount from the center of the image when the ax-zoomer initializes.

The Dutch economy is expected to perform relatively well next year. The biggest contribution to this growth will come from domestic expenditures. Economic growth of 1.8% is higher than what is deemed sustainable for the Dutch economy in the long term.
Just like the global economy, the Dutch economy is at a crossroads. There are unmistakeable signs of recovery in the real economy, but private debt is still high and monetary policy is looser than it has ever been.
There are, broadly speaking, three views of future economic developments. The first concerns 'lengthy stagnation', mainly due to problems in the demand side of the economy. In the article 'Recovery at last?' we discuss the questions of whether we are now in a situation of permanent underspending, what is the status of household finances and what are the causes of a demand-driven recovery or the absence of this.
The second view envisages a 'Fourth Industrial Revolution'. This implies that the supply side of the economy will undergo an acceleration, especially with respect to technological progress. Our article 'The unknown potential of the Dutch economy' deals with the factors underlying structural growth in the Netherlands. Both these analyses present a picture of great uncertainty: technological progress and the effects of this on economic growth are extremely difficult to estimate.
The third view is that the economy will continue to muddle through. The international economic challenges and uncertainties on financial markets both play part in this. They will bring about neither huge disasters nor real solutions.
We have taken these elements and constructed three scenarios. If nothing is done to deal with the structural imbalances and there is no policy to raise the potential strength of the economy in the coming years, we will probably see lower growth in the 2018-2023 period than we expect to see this year and in 2017. Under this scenario, which we have called Muddling through, growth will average 1.4% in this period. This is a lower rate of growth than before the crisis, and also means that the purchasing power of employees will not rise.
However, it is quite possible that the structural growth rate will be higher than it currently is. In the Fourth Industrial Revolution scenario, a visionary policy will be adopted in the western world to structurally strengthen the economy. If this scenario occurs, we will have underestimated the contribution of today's technological developments to economic growth. Growth will average 2.3% in 2018-2023, bringing us gradually back to the trend growth rate seen before the crisis.
In today's political climate however, it is very possible that countries will increasingly drift apart due to rising protectionism. In the Deglobalisation scenario world trade will slump, leading to low growth of exports in the Netherlands in the 2018-2023 period. This would bring average economic growth in this period to 0.3%, and mean that we fail to realise our growth potential due to falling demand.
How the economy will actually develop in the coming years remains anyone's guess. But we see these scenarios as setting the bandwidths for the risks and opportunities facing the Dutch economy.
The Western world will not succeed in coming up with a collective answer to the problems that present themselves. New problems will be addressed with half measures whereby the sharp edges will be blunted but nothing will really be solved. Europe will see stronger cooperation or coordination in some areas (external border security), while it will continue to slacken in others (budgetary policy, agricultural policy). There will be no further substantial integration. As a result, huge tensions will remain under the surface. These tensions and half solutions will lead to new hotbeds and turmoil, resulting in high volatility in both the financial markets and confidence. This is not a sustainable situation in the long term, but it could very well continue in the coming years (see Outlook 2017: The Global economy in the Trump era).
The Dutch government will also not take decisive action, and will not take any measures to structurally strengthen the economy. It will invest in innovation and entrepreneurship, but not enough and without any clear vision. Structural economic growth will therefore continue at 1.2 per cent in the 2018-2023 period. There will also not be any additional government policy. A budget deficit of 0.6 per cent in 2017 will thus be converted into an average surplus of 0.5 per cent in the 2018-2023 period. This will lead in particular to higher collective costs as a result of rising costs of health care. This is due to demographic developments and an intensification of health care, and will be reflected in higher premiums. Partly as a result, there will be hardly any increase in household purchasing power in the coming years.
In this scenario, Dutch export volume will rise by an average of 4.0 per cent in the 2018-2023 period. This would mean growth in the export sector of approximately the same rate as we have seen on average since the crisis in 2008, but this is a significantly lower rate than the average before the crisis (figure 1). This has everything to do with the continuing weaknesses in the global economy (ie Outlook 2017: The Global economy in the Trump era). Growth among the Netherlands' major trading partners is moderate, while trade and other treaties that would lead to further international integration are still on the shelf. The climate of uncertainty and volatility also does not help international trade.
The volume growth of household consumption will be modest in this scenario at an average of 0.7 per cent per year in the 2018-2023 period. This is mainly because there will be hardly any increase in household disposable income. One important reason for this is that rising inflation will not be accompanied by a similar increase in wages, so that any real increase in wages will remain limited (figure 2). The rise in employment will also be moderate in the 2018-2023 period, and rising health care premiums will negatively impact household disposable income.
There will be two effects on consumption from the continuing relatively low level of interest rates. Firstly, low interest rates will stabilise housing prices in real terms. This will have a limited positive effect on household assets. Secondly, continuing low interest rates will be a problem for the pension funds, whose coverage ratios will remain below the required level. This will lead to an increase in pension contributions and pensions will be curtailed. This will diminish disposable household income, and the continuing uncertainty will lead to lower consumer confidence, especially among older people. There will be a high level of uncertainty due to the sharp increase in health care costs, and there will be a debate as to who should pick up the bill. The effect of low interest rates in the long term will therefore on balance be negative for domestic consumption, due to the large amounts of pension capital in the Netherlands. The fact that real household disposable income will still rise is because more people will find work and wages will rise slightly in real terms in the coming years.
In the Muddling Through scenario, private investment will grow by an average of only 1.5 per cent per year in the 2018-2023 period. Investment in housing will no longer be encouraged by an increase in transaction volume in the housing market. This means that investment in housing will grow at a significantly lower rate in this period. At the same time, continuing uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets will create an uncertain climate for investment, and businesses will see little reason to invest in expansion.
The labour market will continue to recover in the coming years. There will be an increase in the labour supply in the 2018-2023 period, but this growth will increasingly slow as a result of the further ageing of the population, despite the increase in the age of entitlement to state retirement pension. Employment will increase by more than the labour supply in this period, meaning that unemployment will slowly decline. We expect unemployment to approach its equilibrium level of 4.5 per cent at the end of the period, which in fact means that the output gap will have closed (figure 3).
 The growth of 1.4 per cent we can expect in this period is due to the fact that we are currently below the structural economic level. In this scenario, we expect the output gap to be closed at the end of this period in 2023.
Artificial intelligence, robotics, smart phones, 3D printers, nanotechnology. These disruptive technological developments have followed each other at dizzying speed in recent years. Many economists and writers expect to see a significant increase in productivity growth as a result of the new technological breakthroughs, among whom the economists Brynjolfsson and McAfee (2014) are perhaps the best known. But also the World Economic Forum in 2016 believes that today's technological developments are happening at a historically unprecedented speed. The perception is that after the three major breakthrough technologies - the steam engine, electricity and ICT - we now have to prepare ourselves for a fourth industrial revolution. The blending of various technologies is blurring the divisions between the physical, digital and biological domains (figure 4).
This is affecting every country and every business. Due to the speed and universality of these processes, it is quite possible that the fourth industrial revolution began ten years ago without us noticing it. It has however taken more than ten years for these technologies to be reflected in higher productivity growth, so that we will only be aware of the consequences in 2018.
This process will also be aided by an international political drive to structurally strengthen productivity growth. Governments including the German government and certainly also the Dutch will recognise the potential offered by low interest rates and healthy government finances. They will also see the need for a vigorous approach and a clear economic vision, and therefore will invest from 2018 onwards with conviction and focus in areas such as R&D, innovation and entrepreneurship.
The resulting innovation gain that will initially occur in the more developed economies - the eurozone, the US and the UK - will translate into additional annual growth of Total Factor Productivity (TFP) of around 1 per cent (See: The unknown potential of the Dutch economy). The additional government spending in the Netherlands and Germany will further increase the capital stock of the Netherlands, nearly doubling the growth potential in the Netherlands in comparison to the Muddling Through scenario to 2.3 per cent.
If the Netherlands is the only country able to achieve significant technological progress and increase TFP, this will not lead directly to much higher GDP growth. This has everything to do with the open nature of the Dutch economy. A technological shock that happens only in the Netherlands will bring about higher growth of investment and consumption, but a large part of the effect of this will go abroad as a result of imports. Exports will also not increase much due to such a boost, since there will be no additional demand from abroad.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution scenario will however be a global phenomenon, meaning that we will see higher TFP growth in other countries as well. This will lead to an annual additional increase in Dutch GDP in the 2018-2023 period. The rising activity in foreign economies will create additional demand for Dutch goods and services, so that export growth will be significantly higher (table 2). At the same time, higher government spending will provide an additional boost to demand. The higher effective demand will also work through to other components of consumption, such as private investment, which will grow much faster than in the Muddling Through scenario.
Despite the boost to demand from abroad and the government, the demand side will not be in a position to grow at the same rate as the supply side of the economy in the short term. Technological progress will provide greater production capacity. But if there is no equivalent demand for this, the output gap will on average widen to some extent in the 2018-2023 period, meaning that inflation in this period will remain low. Interest rates will also remain low, which is good for the housing market but not so good for the funding ratios of the pension funds. The output gap will however close over the longer term (after 2023).
The rapid development of new technologies in the Fourth Industrial Revolution will have a dual effect on the labour market. Firstly, a relatively large number of current jobs will disappear as a result of the introduction of new production processes and techniques, especially among the workforce with an average level of qualification (Erken et al., 2016). Secondly, many new jobs will be created, mainly among the low educated and the highly educated workforce. The net effect will be positive for employment, so that unemployment in this scenario will be lower than in the Muddling Through scenario.
Consumption will rise by an average of 1 per cent the 2018-2023 period in this scenario. Disposable household income will rise on average considerably faster than in the Muddling Through scenario. Wages in real terms will increase, because inflation will be low while pressure in the labour market will push nominal wages higher. The increasing level of employment will generate an increase in higher disposable income. At the same time, interest rates will remain low, so that the funding ratios of the pension funds will also remain low. The concerns resulting from this will mean that households remain cautious and will not use all their additional income for spending.
Private investment will increase more strongly in this scenario, after slightly weakening in 2017. Most of the growth will be seen in business investment, since the recovery in the housing market will be somewhat more moderate in the 2018-2023 period than previously. The increased demand for goods and services from abroad and from the government will lead to demand-driven investment, while the new technological advances will also lead to additional investment.
Government finances will develop less favourably in this scenario. Tax revenues will rise as a result of the increased economic activity, the rise in employment and higher wages, but on average there will still be deficits in the 2018-2023 period. Partly due to the technological progress, health care costs will rise in this scenario, so that higher revenues will not all be reflected in a more favourable balance. In addition, the extra boost from the government will cause a further deterioration in the balance. Ultimately however, the government's financial position will remain neatly within the European barrier of 3 per cent.
The result of the Brexit referendum, Donald Trump's victory and the vote in Wallonia on the CETA treaty look as though they may mark the end of a long period of globalisation. After decades of economic and political integration, we are now at the start of a turning point with widespread geopolitical turmoil. Protectionism and nationalism are coming to the fore, since a significant part of society feels like it has lost out as a result of these developments. The economic historian Jan Luiten van Zanden (2016) sees clear parallels between today and the end of globalisation at the beginning of the 20th century. The global economy underwent a period of rapid integration at the end of the 19th century, so much so that by some measures the world was more globalised than it is today. There were significant groups that lost out at that time as well, mainly farmers and large industries in continental Europe. This led to strong resistance against globalisation and further economic and political integration, and provided a fertile breeding ground for protectionism and nationalism, with these forces ultimately coming together in the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 and forming the prelude to the Second World War.
We do not expect such an outcome in this scenario this time. But there are clear economic losers as a result of globalisation today, such as factory workers in manufacturing industries in the US. At the same time, large parts of the population have hardly benefited at all in recent decades in terms of disposable income. The disadvantages of globalisation are now widely cited while the benefits are no longer mentioned and the real dangers of economic and political disintegration have been forgotten. This is providing the conditions for the ever stronger rise of nationalist and protectionist political movements. An increasing number of countries will turn inwards: old trade treaties will be suspended and there will be no readiness to engage in international economic and political cooperation. Trading blocs will fall apart and strict trade barriers will be introduced. Volatility in the financial markets will be much higher, and the outlook for businesses will be highly uncertain.
In the Deglobalisation scenario, world trade will grow by nearly 2 percentage points less in the 2018-2023 period than in the Muddling Through scenario, in which trade growth would already be weaker than before the crisis. As an open economy, the impact for the Netherlands will be severe: the volume of growth in exports in the 2018-2023 period will grow by only 1.5 per cent per year. This will also be reflected in lower growth in other consumption components. There will be a huge drop in demand, which ultimately will lead to the Netherlands experiencing economic growth of close to nil. GDP volume will increase on average by 0.3 per cent in the 2018-2023 period.
The drop in demand will make the difference between actual GDP and potential GDP ever greater, so that in this scenario the output gap will become increasingly negative. This will result in very low inflation of on average 0.8 per cent, well below the ECB's target level of around 2 per cent. All this will mean that interest rates will remain low in the 2018-2023 period.
Private investment will also stagnate. The recovery in the housing market will come to an end (with house prices actually falling in real terms), while businesses will suspend their investment due to the fall in demand from abroad and the high level of uncertainty. Growth of the stock of capital goods will also weaken to some extent, thus reducing the potential for growth as well.
The volume growth of private consumption will be lower than in the Muddling Through scenario. The main reason for this is that disposable income will not rise in this scenario. At the same time, the growth in employment will not be enough to absorb the increase in the labour supply. Unemployment will be higher than in the Muddling Through scenario. The growth in nominal wages will weaken to the extent that wages will decline in real terms despite the moderate level of inflation. The weak development of disposable income will also cause house prices to decline in real terms, despite the low level of interest rates. The pension funds will also increasingly experience difficulties. The continuing low level of interest rates will damage funding ratios, while low global growth will lead to lower returns from instruments such as equities. All this will contribute to a weak development of private consumption.
Contrary to the Muddling Through scenario, the Deglobalisation scenario will involve a budget deficit of 0.3 per cent on average in the 2018-2023 period. The main reason for this is that household income will be much lower than in the Muddling Through scenario, so that income tax revenues will be lower. The growth of nominal GDP will also be lower. The higher deficit and the lower nominal GDP growth will also mean that debt in comparison to GDP will be higher on average than in the Muddling Through scenario.
The future is uncertain. And it certainly cannot be made. Today, we cannot be sure whether we are in a situation of underspending, limited technological progress, or indeed an economy that will grow in the years to come. Three scenarios for the future of the Netherlands present very different outcomes with respect to economic variables such as growth, unemployment, the government deficit and inflation. What do these scenarios tell us about the potential future policy for the Netherlands?
In the Deglobalisation scenario, growth will average 0.3% per year over six years. This is low, but still 0.1 of a percentage point higher than the average in the past seven years. In the Fourth Industrial Revolution scenario, we see growth averaging 2.3% over the coming six years. This may seem high, but the average growth rate in the period before 2008 was 2.5%. The bandwidth of the scenarios is thus more limited than what the Netherlands managed to achieve in the not so distant past.
This bandwidth of uncertainty does not however appear to have penetrated the alternate reality of The Hague. In its medium to long term forecasts the CPB (the Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis) is expecting economic growth of 1.7%. This is accompanied by the comforting message that the government finances will return to safe ground without additional policy measures, with a budget surplus of nearly 1 percentage point in 2021. This calculation is the basis for the calculation of the election programmes that are most likely occupying the Ministry of Economic Affairs' full attention at the moment.
Of course, the CPB's scenario may materialise. But it is certainly more optimistic than the picture we see in our Muddling Through scenario. The difference is mainly in the growth of labour productivity, where we have a rather less positive view. Never mind, these are just details. The big problem with the CPB figures is that the politicians see them as confirming that there are no dilemmas: real austerity is not necessary, there will be no crisis in the Netherlands and we also do not have to prepare ourselves for a world that may be completely different as a result of either innovation or protectionism. And this raises the threat of stagnation, certainly if the upcoming elections to the House of Representatives lead to a situation in which four or five parties are needed to form a government.
There are however dilemmas with respect to the future of the economy. The condition of the economy is highly uncertain. Monetary policy is still looser than it has ever been. Private debt is still high. And with Brexit, the election of Trump and upcoming elections in many European countries, this uncertainty will surely not diminish in the coming period. It would therefore be wise to prepare our country to some extent for this uncertainty.
Of course, it is not policy that will decide what the world will actually look like. But we can prepare ourselves as well as we can for the various possible scenarios. There are therefore a number of things that we can learn from our deliberations.
First of all, we do not have to worry too much about a rapid rise in unemployment. Even in a scenario of lower economic growth, the damage to the Dutch labour market will be acceptable. One important reason for this is of course the ageing of the population. This does not mean that everything is fine in the labour market. The big difference between the self-employed and 'permanent' employees will indeed continue to be a problem without policy. And in The Fourth Industrial Revolution scenario, this also means that people's ability to adapt will be inadequate, so that some groups will likely face long-term unemployment.
Second, the development of disposable income is not a positive factor. Even in the Fourth Industrial Revolution scenario there will be only a limited increase in purchasing power. This has everything to do with how we have collectively arranged our affairs in the Netherlands. Dutch households have limited liquidity, because firstly a significant amount of household assets are locked up in property and pensions, and secondly because much of our spending, for example on health care, is mostly funded collectively. In each scenario, making changes to the Dutch institutions associated with pensions, health care and home ownership would be a 'no regret'option.
The third point is that investing in innovation, knowledge and entrepreneurship pays in all scenarios. This could lead to extra growth relatively quickly. We assume this will happen in the Fourth Industrial Revolution scenario, but it would deliver economic growth, purchasing power and jobs in the other scenarios as well.
The final point concerns finding the right balance between motivation and security. An open and uncertain economy demands that people are given the opportunity to keep their skills up to date. This means that social security must be generous enough to allow people the time to train or retrain. And the policy also has to be sufficiently motivational: people will really have to do this. This is the only way to prepare people against globalisation and an uncertain world.
The scenarios we present do not provide an exhaustive overview of the potential developments in the Dutch economy in the coming years. But they do show that the Netherlands is not prepared in all respects to face various economic situations. And while if we leave things to the politicians the muddling through scenario is the most likely, it would be very advisable to further address the structural flaws in the Dutch economy - pensions, the labour market, health care and the housing market - and to make these areas ready for whatever scenario may actually occur. Because what are just hairline cracks now could become gaping holes if the economy turns down, leading to the collapse of the building. And it is much more efficient to repair the hairline cracks before that happens.
