Rio Ferdinand opened the conversation about modern captains and playing with Roy Keane at Manchester United.
Having played with West Ham and Leeds prior to joining United in 2002, the legendary England centre-half had worked with the likes of Steve Potts, Julian Dicks, Steve Lomas, Paolo Di Canio and Lucas Radebe.
Ferdinand, speaking on BT Sport revealed the impact former United captain Keane had on proceedings.
"I look at Roy Keane, and his powers were on the decline probably as a player, an individual, but it was more about his influence, and what he demanded of people.
Although Ferdinand admitted that he could handle Keane and it drove him on to be a better player, others were less receptive to such methods.
Working with Keane – no matter the capacity – is about to throw up mixed views. His methods as a coach are outdated, it would seem, but he will forever go down as a great United captain – even if Ferdinand refused to suggest that he was any better or worse than the other captains Ferdinand experienced first-hand.


The small island of Kuchinoshima has been hit by a terrible storm, leaving the village with only a single fishing boat. Each hoping to prove themselves the village's best fisherman, 2-4 players take turns moving the boat marker around the island, collecting any fish tiles they land upon. At the end of the day, the player with the best haul wins, but there's a twist – each player's score is added to their left neighbor's score before determining the winner!

DFB-Pokal Quarter-Finals: Schalke to host Werder Bremen
The Royal Blues will host Werder Bremen in the VELTINS-Arena for a place in the DFB-Pokal semi-finals. The quarter-final draw was held in the German football museum on Sunday evening.
German handball international Fabian Böhm conducted the draw, which was overseen by DFB-Frauen head coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg. The tie will take place on 2nd or 3rd April and the exact timings for the match will be announced in due course. The semi-finals will take place on 24th and 25th April before the showpiece event in Berlin on 25th May.
The Royal Blues have reached the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals for the third consecutive season. Last year, Schalke defeated VfL Wolfsburg 1-0 while losing 3-0 to FC Bayern München at this stage the season before. Schalke lost to eventual winners Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 at home in last season's semi-finals.
Werder Bremen have won the DFB-Pokal on six occasions and history between the two sides in this competition favours the Green-Whites. Werder have won five of the previous six meetings between the two sides. However, they haven't faced each other in the DFB-Pokal since 2005 when the Royal-Blues won on penalties to reach the final in Berlin.

Bernués es una localidad española , en la Jacetania, provincia de Huesca, Aragón. Pertenece  al municipio de Jaca del que dista 22 kilómetros por la A 1205.

Está situada a 917 metros de altitud, al sur de la Peña Oroel y de la sierra de San Juan de la Peña, declarada Paisaje Protegido. Pertenece a  la subcomarca de Suoduruel, en la que predomina el bosque mixto originado por la influencia del clima mediterráneo y atlántico. Abundan las carrascas, boj, tomillo y aliaga.

Término
En su territorio se integran los términos del Molino de Joaquín la Costa, las pardinas (granjas extensas, apartadas del casco urbano, con viviendas y construcciones agrícolas y ganaderas) de La Carrosa, Lorés y Osán, además de dos colmenares.

Población y economía
En 1495 tenía ocho fuegos (hogares), en los siglos sucesivos su población no superó los sesenta habitantes. En el siglo XIX se produjo un incremento demográfico: el Diccionario de Pascual Madoz precisa que, a mediados de aquel siglo, la localidad tenía 19 casas, casa consistorial "en la que está la cárcel" y "escuela de primeras letras; poco después, en 1857, contaba con 313 habitantes. En el siglo XX, como tantos otros pueblos de su entorno, se despobló: en 1970 tenía 62 habitantes, En 2003 tan solo 25. En época de vacaciones la población aumenta con la estancia temporal de los propietarios de segundas viviendas.

Fue municipio hasta su incorporación al de Jaca en 1964. De las seis unidades territoriales en el que divide el municipio de Jaca, Bernués, junto con Atarés, Botaya y Osia, pertenece a la del Entorno de San Juan de la Peña.

Según detalla del Diccionario de Pascual Madoz, a mediados del siglo XIX, producía: "trigo, avena, centeno, cebada, judías, patatas y maíz y otras legumbres", criaba "algún ganado lanar" y, por otra parte, contaba con un "tejedor de lienzos y otro de telas de lana".

Toponimia
Bernúes aparece citado en la documentación histórica a partir de 992 como Berne, Bernuasse, Bernuassi, Bernos, Bernuas, Bernoscha, Vernuesse y Verne.

Historia

Las primera referencia documental referida a Bernués se remonta a comienzos del siglo XI, cuando el rey de Pamplona, Sancho el Mayor, lo donó al monasterio de San Juan de la Peña, al que perteneció durante siglos; aunque se tiene noticia de que en 1610 había pasado a ser propiedad del convento de benedictinas de Jaca. Las donaciones al monasterio de San Juan de la Peña, eran frecuentes y procedían de todos los sectores privilegiados de la sociedad; en 1046, Jimeno, abad de Bernués y Baraguás, hizo una donación a este cenobio. En el término municipal de Bernués, San Juan de la Peña era titular del monasterio de Santo Tomás, al que confirió el rango de priorato. En 1079 lo cedió al monasterio femenino de Santa Cruz de la Serós a cambio del de San Juan de Veia. Actualmente se encuentra en ruinas.

Arquitectura

Popular

La población se articula a ambos lados de la calle dedicada a José Fatás (1837-1912), catedrático de Derecho, nacido en Bernués. Son abundantes los testimonio de la arquitectura popular de la zona, con cubiertas de losa, chimeneas troncocónicas, patios con suelo de cantos rodados y amplias cocinas con hogar ("fogaril") y, en torno al fuego, un espacioso banco para toda la familia ("cadiera"). En la casa señorial de Bisús (siglo XVII) el dueño, desde la ventana de su dormitorio, podía vigilar a sus criados sentados en la cocina'. Entre las viviendas destacadas, cabe citar casa Gairín, construida en el siglo XVIII.

Parroquia de san Martín de Tours
Es barroca, tiene planta rectangular, cuenta con una sola nave y dos capillas laterales a cada lado. La cabecera está separada del resto de la nave por un arco de medio punto y su cubierta es de bóveda de cañón; el testero es recto. A mediados del siglo XIX, el Diccionario de Pascual Madoz la describía de esta manera: "Edificio regular, fabricado de piedra, con cinco altares".
En la clave del arco de la puerta, orientada al sur, se figura un crismón románico, se estima que procedería de la iglesia románica anterior o de la ermita de san Alejandro, actualmente en ruinas, que se encuentra en la falda del monte Larraín. El grabado del cáliz con la sagrada forma es posterior. Los retablos son barrocos (siglos XVII y XVIII), tanto el principal, dedicado a la Asunción de la Virgen, como los laterales. La torre, de sillarejo, está adosada al muro oeste, es de planta cuadrada, tiene tres cuerpos desiguales, en el último se abren dos vanos para las campanas.

Fiestas locales
 15 de agosto, Asunción de la Virgen. Fiestas mayores.
 11 de junio, san Alejandro, antiguamente se celebraba una romería a la ermita de este santo.

Stephen Selbst, Chair of Herrick's Bankruptcy Practice Group, is quoted in an article citing the recent trend of companies (Eastman Kodak Co., Hawker Beechcraft Inc. and Residential Capital LLC) paying bonuses to the same executives who led their companies into Chapter 11 protection. Stephen notes that debtors keep trying to set plans that at least notionally look like incentive plans but which are capable of being achieved. Mr. Selbst said it has led U.S. trustees to be especially vigilant in reviewing incentive plans, leading to a "cat-and-mouse game" between them and the companies they're monitoring. So while incentive plans are no longer new, they still remain a heavily contested subject in large corporate restructurings.

Addvalue and Capella Move a Step Closer to Launching the First Satellite Equipped with Addvalue's "Always-Available" Communications Solution for Enhanced LEO Constellation Management
A REVOLUTION IN LEO SATELLITE CONNECTIVITY
Addvalue Innovation Ltd.
SINGAPORE, Oct. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Addvalue Innovation Pte Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SGX Mainboard-listed Addvalue Technologies Ltd ("Addvalue") (SGX: A31), today announced the delivery of the first flight model of the company's groundbreaking Inter-satellite Data Relay System ("IDRS") terminal to Capella Space ("Capella"). Addvalue's IDRS™ system, developed in tandem with Inmarsat, features Addvalue's proprietary technology, which provides the world's first commercial on-demand, real-time connection for LEO satellites. This is a significant milestone on the road to next-generation LEO satellite constellation operations.
Addvalue's Inter-satellite Data Relay System (IDRS) Enables World's First Commercial On-Demand Real Time Connection for LEO Satellites
The partnership between Addvalue, Capella and Inmarsat is powered by Inmarsat's award-winning global L-band network. The three companies are working towards outfitting Capella's constellation of 36 small LEO SAR satellites with Addvalue's IDRS terminals, thereby enabling two-way, secure and always-on IP-based connectivity. "Inmarsat has a 40 year heritage in providing real-time global communications to customers using land, air and maritime assets," noted Nick Shave, VP of Strategic Programmes at Inmarsat, "and we are excited to see Capella Space become the first smallsat customer to augment and enhance their operational capability by leveraging Inmarsat's L-band service in a new market." Within the commercial LEO satellite market, traditional communications technology allows operators to communicate with their satellites during approximately 4% of the orbit, whereas the addition of the Addvalue IDRS terminal will enable communications for virtually 99% of the orbit. This is not an incremental difference, as commercial operators will now have the option to leverage nearly constant communication with their LEO satellites.
When Capella completes the launch of their first commercial LEO satellite fitted with this terminal in early 2020, it will not only be a communication advancement, it will also be a revolutionary step for the commercial imagery market. The IDRS terminal will drastically reduce the time required for Capella's customers to order and receive delivery of high-resolution imagery from anywhere in the world. Payam Banazadeh, CEO and Founder of Capella commented, "With Addvalue terminals, Capella will be the first satellite imagery provider with real-time tasking. Capella's mission is centered upon transformative delivery of earth imagery, fueling real-time global insights. The satellite communication expertise that Addvalue and Inmarsat offer perfectly complement this mission; and we are excited about today's milestone and our upcoming launch." Payam continued, "Subsequent to the successful delivery of this first flight model, Capella has given the go ahead to Addvalue for the fabrication and supply of the next 6 flight units to be delivered in early 2020."
For Addvalue, today's announcement marks the culmination of more than 5 years of development, technology demonstration, and product qualification. Dr Colin Chan Kum Lok, Addvalue's Chairman and CEO, remarked, "The successful delivery of the first flight IDRS terminal to Capella Space is a major accomplishment in Addvalue's history. Over the last twenty-five years, Addvalue has been at the forefront of communication technologies. It is with great pride that we announce this very significant milestone, which marks the commencement of our IDRS system commercialization." The company offers both IDRS hardware as well as airtime service to its customers, as an airtime distribution partner for Inmarsat's L-band network within the LEO satellite market. "What we are offering is truly unique, and we look forward to exploring the many ways in which this technology can transform the market."

At least one member of the Corbin Tourism Commission is questioning the wisdom of spending up to $1 million on the proposed Corbin Railroad Museum, but have asked Tourism Director Maggy Kriebel to move forward with the request for proposal.
At a special called tourism meeting last week, Kriebel said the board agreed to move forward in an effort to determine what the cost of the project may be.
Kriebel explained that in addition to $500,000 of money from tourism, she would be seeking sponsorships to provide the additional funding.
Commissioner Mark Shepherd raised concerns that have been floating throughout the community since the museum was first announced – would it draw enough visitors to be viable, and how would it draw repeat visitors?
Kriebel explained that with the number of artifacts donated to the museum, and the advent of digital technology, the exhibits could be updated and changed out more readily.
In addition, Kriebel said other railroad museums in Bowling Green and New Haven, which is near Bardstown, would permit a relatively easy exchange of exhibits.
"We are also starting to develop a relationship with the Steam Heritage Corporation out of Irvin (Estill County)," Kriebel said.
While there are similar museums in the state, Kriebel said that Corbin's would be the only one directly off of Interstate 75.
Kriebel said the tourism office is receiving phone calls and questions about the museum frequently.
"I'm hoping people, who are proponents of the museum, will speak up about why it is important from a tourism perspective," Kriebel said. "It is all about bringing people from the outside into Corbin.
Kriebel said the goal is to compliment other tourist attractions, such as Cumberland Falls, the original KFC, and Laurel Lake.
"It is about creating a destination," she said.
The tourism commission is scheduled to meet again at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday at The Corbin Center. The meeting is open to the public.


Welcome, and thanks for stopping by the "hangar." I am making shares in this beautiful airplane available for the first time in seven years, and the first time ever since its conversion to a turboprop. Whether you are a pilot, a business owner, or a frequent flyer and tired of the inefficiencies of the airlines, we have a way to lift your travels to another level.
I have flown this Jetprop for business and pleasure and continue to be amazed by its speed, versatility and efficiency. If you're a pilot we have transition training, if you're a frequent flyer we have pilots who can fly for you. Whatever your reasons for considering this, take a look at the airplane, where you fly, the places we've been, and give me a call.
Hangar Flying can happen in the hangar, at a local café, at our place over dinner—lots of places. It's one of the best things a pilot can do for their own skills - hearing other pilots stories of how the plane handled a certain situation, talking about night flying, or how we configure the Garmin GPS units.
It can also be the richest form of learning about flying for passengers and family, or discovering the myriad places this plane can take you.


Rangers are sturdy, physically tough, rural folk. They make their home often outside the large cities and live off the land. Rangers are skilled in the arts of herbalism and poisons - they know the forests and the wilderness well. They are trained in Forestry and Stealth, able to spring unnoticed from the forest to surprise and vanquish unruly intruders. They can eventually carve totems with powerful symbols and even take on the legendary form of the Bear. Rangers and Brigands also gain a smattering of Trapping to further extend influence outside of their typical environments (forests, wildlands, etc). They are excellent hunters - harkening back to the leadership of Maedhros Allendil, first Ranger and legendary Huntsman. Rangers are also fine fighters, they are competent archers and cunning adversaries.
The modern Rangers Guild was founded in the early seventh century at the centre of the Greenwood forest by Maedhros Allendil, then Lord Maedhros of the Grove. During their hey-day the guild was the vibrant hub of active resistance against the evil wildlands. Eventually Maedhros enjoyed accession to the ranks of the divine, and the guild fell back into a less busy, but nevertheless potent and active force. Traditionally Rangers have concerned themselves with the defence of the city of Mercinae and the civilised villages of the eastern Greenwood. They are the first line of defence against the goblins, the foul beasts of the Cult and from invasion by the cities of the north. Rangers are therefore grizzled, hardy folk. They offer protection to those travelling through the forests and have the skill to fight away even the most mighty of enemies.

Associate Professor of History John Turner is seldom at a loss for words, certainly not when he's discussing the history of Islam or the Middle East, or commenting for the media on the Taliban or ISIS.
But when Jumana Hashim and Joseph Whitfield, co-presidents of the Class of 2015, knocked on his office door to inform him he'd received the Charles Bassett Teaching Award, Turner was stunned.
Watch a video of John Turner's Last Lecture.
Since 1993 the award, named for Professor of English Charles "Charlie" Bassett, has been given by seniors to honor a member of the faculty. The recipient, who is selected by secret ballot, delivers the Last Lecture after spring semester exams—an assignment for which Turner promises to have recovered his voice.
"It's an exceptional honor," he said.
Associate Professor of History John Turner teaching a class outside the Lovejoy Building. Turner asks that students question interpretations of history, including his own.
Faculty focus daily on teaching, bringing ideas to the table, and piquing students' intellectual curiosity.
Those moments, Turner said, aren't only experienced by the students. His students, he said, bring fresh perspectives to the subject and new insights from their other classes that he, even as a scholar and expert in his field, may miss.
President David A. Greene congratulates Associate Professor of History John Turner as Turner receives the Charles Bassett Teaching Award for 2015.
The inquiry could inform discussions about contemporary religion, the modern phenomena of the Taliban and ISIS, and race in the United States, he said.
The tools required for that sort of study are eminently transferable, he said.

Название: Discontent and Its Civilizations: Dispatches from Lahore, New York, and London
Описание: From the bestselling author of How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia, and Exit West, coming in March 2017, "a near-perfect essay collection, filled with insight, compassion, and intellect." (NPR)
In both his internationally bestselling fiction and his wide-ranging journalism, Mohsin Hamid has earned a reputation as a "master critic of the modern global condition" (Foreign Policy). A "water lily" who has called three countries on three continents his home (Pakistan, the birthplace to which he returned as a young father; the United States, where he spent his childhood and young adulthood; and Britain, where he married and became a citizen), he has achieved a truly
panoramic perspective on the clash of forces - political, economic, religious, cultural - that have transfigured the face of contemporary life and shaken the old certainties about how to navigate it.
In Discontent and Its Civilizations, Hamid traces the fracture lines generated by a decade and a half of seismic change, from the "war on terror" to the struggles of individuals to maintain humanity in the rigid face of ideology, or the indifferent face of globalization. Whether he is discussing courtship rituals or pop culture, drones or the rhythms of daily life in an extended family compound, he transports us beyond the alarmist headlines of an anxious West and a volatile East and helps to bring a dazzling diverse world within emotional and intellectual reach.

Purchasing power: agreement between deputies and senators on the second block of measures
The discussion will have lasted a little longer than on the first set of measures on purchasing power on Monday, but after two hours of meeting, deputies and senators agreed on Wednesday evening in a joint joint committee on the bill of amending finances that the Senate had voted at first reading a few hours before.
The text will be submitted to the final vote of Parliament this Thursday. He will pass in front of the Assembly at 3 p.m. then in front of the Senate, dominated by the right, at 5 p.m. This rectified budget for 2022 was brought back into the financial outline set by the government which had announced that, as the National Assembly had done, the Senate could increase the purchasing power package by 350 million euros.
The purchase of RTTs possible until 2025
A compromise was eventually found on the exceptional back-to-school bonus that the elected officials of the Luxembourg Palace had wanted to replace with a flat-rate aid only to beneficiaries of the activity bonus, halving the number of households benefiting from it. The CMP returned to the initial project but widened its scope to all persons receiving the activity bonus. This will represent a total cost of 1.1 billion euros, or 100 million more than in the initial bill.
Measures on working time have also been reworked. The senators had wanted to make permanent the increase in the ceiling for exemption from income tax on overtime as well as the possibility of buying back RTT. A deadline has been reintroduced, but delayed to December 31, 2025.
The flat-rate exemption from employer contributions on overtime for companies with 20 to 250 employees, added by the Upper House, has been retained. The representatives of the two assemblies also agreed on an increase in the amount of the reimbursement of the public transport package exempt from contributions to 75% of its price.
Support for municipalities
All the measures to increase aid to local communities, voted by the Senate, have also not survived. In particular those concerning the compensation fund for the value added tax and the domestic consumption tax on energy products.
The strengthening of support for municipalities to cope with the revaluation of the value of the index point has, on the contrary, been confirmed in the project which will now be submitted to the two assemblies for final validation.

How should references in non-Latin script language be treated in English paper?
reference it as is, in the original Cyrillic alphabet, although the readers won't be able even to pronounce it?
transliterate the authors' names, while keeping the rest as is?
transliterate the names and translate the title of the work, journal name, etc. into English?
Chinese and Japanese characters, immediately following the romanized version of the item they represent, are sometimes necessary to help readers identify references cited or terms used. They are largely confined to bibliographies and glossaries. Where needed in running text, they may be enclosed in parentheses. Computer technology has made it much easier than it used to be to typeset words in non-Latin alphabets.

I will just add to good Alexander Serebrenik's answer. The main point of references is to provide traceable sources to information. This means the translation of the title and journal are key. The title provides insights into the content of the paper and the journal makes it traceable. All journals have different "standards" for how to do this in detail. It is also common that articles in French, German, and/or Spanish are not translated (again local "rules"). It is not common to see, for example, cyrillic in references, instead translitteration seems to be the most common. Again, there should be "rules" about this in each journal and so the best appraoch is to contact the journal editor and ask if no explicit information is available.

Home News&Briefs The strategy to mass-product nanomaterials
The strategy to mass-product nanomaterials
Nanoparticles are tiny particles 100,000 times smaller than the width of a strand of hair. They can be found in everything from drug delivery formulations to pollution controls on cars to HD TV sets. With special properties derived from their tiny size and subsequently increased surface area, they're critical to industry and scientific research. They're also expensive and tricky to make.
Now, researchers at USC have created a new way to manufacture nanoparticles that will transform the process from a painstaking, batch-by-batch drudgery into a large-scale, automated assembly line. The method, developed by a team led by Noah Malmstadt of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and Richard Brutchey of the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, was published in Nature Communications on Feb. 23. Consider, for example, gold nanoparticles. They have been shown to be able to easily penetrate cell membranes without causing any damage – an unusual feat, given that most penetrations of cell membranes by foreign objects can damage or kill the cell. Their ability to slip through the cell's membrane makes gold nanoparticles ideal delivery devices for medications to healthy cells, or fatal doses of radiation to cancer cells.
However, a single milligram of gold nanoparticles currently costs about $80 (depending on the size of the nanoparticles). That places the price of gold nanoparticles at $80,000 per gram – while a gram of pure, raw gold goes for about $50.
It's not the gold that's making it expensive," Malmstadt said. "We can make them, but it's not like we can cheaply make a 50 gallon drum full of them." Right now, the process of manufacturing a nanoparticle typically involves a technician in a chemistry lab mixing up a batch of chemicals by hand in traditional lab flasks and beakers. Brutchey and Malmstadt's new technique instead relies on microfluidics – technology that manipulates tiny droplets of fluid in narrow channels.
"In order to go large scale, we have to go small," Brutchey said. Really small.
The team 3D printed tubes about 250 micrometers in diameter – which they believe to be the smallest, fully enclosed 3D printed tubes anywhere. For reference, your average-sized speck of dust is 50 micrometers wide. They then built a parallel network of four of these tubes, side-by-side, and ran a combination of two non-mixing fluids (like oil and water) through them. As the two fluids fought to get out through the openings, they squeezed off tiny droplets. Each of these droplets acted as a micro-scale chemical reactor in which materials were mixed and nanoparticles were generated. Each microfluidic tube can create millions of identical droplets that perform the same reaction.
This sort of system has been envisioned in the past, but its hasn't been able to be scaled up because the parallel structure meant that if one tube got jammed, it would cause a ripple effect of changing pressures along its neighbors, knocking out the entire system. Think of it like losing a single Christmas light in one of the old-style strands – lose one, and you lose them all.
Brutchey and Malmstadt bypassed this problem by altering the geometry of the tubes themselves, shaping the junction between the tubes such that the particles come out a uniform size and the system is immune to pressure changes. Malmstadt and Brutchy collaborated with Malancha Gupta of USC Viterbi and USC graduate students Carson Riche and Emily Roberts

TSI has developed a unique system specifically engineered for measuring flows in MEMS devices, microchannels, vessels, and other small-scale flow devices.
TSI's MicroPIV System makes use of the same core principles and components of a traditional 2D-PIV system (laser illumination source, camera, synchronizer, and Insight4G data acquisition and processing software), but with specific modifications ideal for high-magnification applications. A typical MicroPIV system makes use of an inverted microscope (an upright arrangement is also possible), fluorescent seed particles, a pulsed laser source for seed particle excitation, and a epifluorescent filter cube to isolate the emission wavelength for imaging. Due to the reflected light arrangement, a MicroPIV System typically relies on narrow depth-of-field imaging typical of microscope optics to obtain results on the plane of interest.
Image processing for MicroPIV is carried out using Insight4G's 2D-PIV module, which has multiple features ideal for MicroPIV including advanced image pre-processing capability, ensemble PIV, and image (and velocity field) masking, among others.
MicroPIV systems are highly customizable. A variety of options and accessories exist for the microscope, objective lenses, light source, seed particles, filter cubes, cameras, and more. TSI has provided MicroPIV systems utilizing unique wavelengths, multi-deck microscopes, confocal imaging, image splitting, and more.
In developing this system, TSI has collaborated closely with pioneers in microflow measurements, optical system development, epifluorescence illumination, processing-algorithm development and analysis techniques. TSI has licensed this technology and implemented the patented concepts into the design of its MicroPIV System, making it an advanced and accurate tool for microflow measurements.
MicroPIV systems can be used for flows with characteristic dimensions ranging from tens to hundreds of microns. In some cases, a more traditional PIV system, using long-distance telescope optics adapted for camera lenses may be more suitable. Contact TSI to discuss your velocity field measurement needs for your small-scale flow today.

Waste bubbles
When you get past the brand X, brand Y type of decision making to the business of setting systems and process policies the questions get harder and the accusations louder but the answers, or at least the diagnostics, get simpler.
Written by Paul Murphy, Contributor on March 26, 2010
I'm very disappointed in the lack of answers to last Saturday's question - so, please, look past your own political biases to consider the actual question, ok?
Now, since answers are the order of the day, let me tell you about the number one thing that comes up in discussions as we work toward figuring out how to change a whole bunch of different business systems. It's the claim that because the existing systems and processes contain lots of terrible inefficiencies and waste, they can be fixed by eliminating those.
I have a theory about this: that when the best available people do the best they can to implement policy, the waste and inefficiencies in the system they produce reflects the degree to which the policy fits the problem it's intended to address - not the skills or commitment of the people involved.
If, for example, your intent is to provide a few thousand users with secure, reliable, desktop computing, then a Windows policy produces tremendous waste and inefficiency in everything from networking and help desk services to user time and executive access to information - but those inefficiencies are not a result of incompetence or malfeasance on the part of the implementers or users, they're a result of the decision to prefer PCs over Sun Rays and thus ultimately a result of executive hiring preferences and the organizational role set for IT.
Ever hang wall paper? Once you've got a couple of bubbles trapped under a sheet squishing them out in one place generally just causes them to pop up somewhere else - often fatally creasing the paper in the process. Business process repair is just like that: if you see a process that has obvious waste bubbles and good people have been trying to squeeze those out for years, then you need to decide if those bubbles are significant within the scope of whatever you're trying to achieve. If they are, the answer is always to change the policy first, never the people - and only after you define the new policy do you ask whether the people you've got are the right people to implement it.
The bottom line on this is that it's generally the policy makers, not the implementors, who're to blame when systems and the business processes within them don't work out as expected. The question, therefore, that I keep asking people who grab the podium to denounce so and so as an idiot and this or that as retarded, is first whether they understand where the particular bubble came from, and second whether given the constraints the various idiots pointed at work under, it really is possible to do better - and, so far, not a single accusation has survived the question.

Home Archives The Problem With Little Teeny Farms
The Problem With Little Teeny Farms
If you look at the history of little teeny farms, it isn't good. This is usually found in countries where inheritance laws/customs decree that a family farm be split equally between children. This tends to cause farm sizes to get smaller and smaller over time. Per-person productivity declines (even as per-acre productivity rises), because people don't have enough land to work. The result is grinding poverty — not just a "third world" nonindustrialized existence, but the edge of starvation.
This happened in many countries (see Malthus), which is why the American colonies were so exciting to Europeans. They weren't restricted to some inefficient little three-acre landholding. They could grab all the land they could handle, thus maximizing their per-person productivity, and also maximizing their personal well-being.
That's why many cultures have had the custom of passing on the family farm whole and intact to only one child, most likely the eldest son. Women are married off to other families. Younger sons typically have to make a go of it somewhere else. In return for this gift of an estate (or family business), the eldest son typically has to care for the parents in old age. Ideally, each farming family should have the most land that they could possibly handle alone, or maybe a little more.
What happens to the younger sons? They could, conceivably, work as agricultural workers on someone else's land. By definition, this would be someone with more land than they could handle themselves, or they wouldn't be hiring anyone. In this way, ideally, the people/land ratio would equalize to the level that maximized per-person productivity with the traditional techniques of the day.
The result was a great surplus of people — all those younger sons and their wives — who needed to find a livelihood that wasn't in farming. They ended up in the cities, of course, which is where everyone who isn't an agriculturist ends up. There, they would provide some other sort of good or service. In this way, the economy thrived. If 100% of the people are farmers, there isn't anyone to make all the things that can't be made on a farm. If, say, 20% of the people are farmers, that means that 80% of the people aren't farmers, and can produce all the goods and services of a complex and thriving civilization.
We've taken this to an extreme today, where about 2% of the people are farmers, and 98% of the people are engaged in something else. Arguably, we would be better off with a different method of food production, because this system produces horrifically bad food. This different method of food production — more local, higher quality — could well be accomplished by a much larger number of family-owned farms.
Let's say the total population engaged in food production were to rise to 10%. That is five times more than today. However, in terms of the economy as a whole, it is not that much different. The portion of people that are not farmers goes from 98% to 90%, a 10% reduction. Actually, since about 10% of people today are unemployed anyway, we could move to a 10%-farming situation with no reduction in non-farming output.
Some people have suggested that as many as 30% of the U.S. population could be engaged in agriculture. I'm not sure this is such a good idea. This would mean that the not-farming population would decline from 90% to 70%, a 23% reduction. Having five times as many farmers (2% to 10%) could be a good thing, but do we really need fifteen times as many? They wouldn't create any more food than people today, although it might be better quality.
You could think about it in money terms, if it helps. Let's say that the farming population increased from 2% to 10%, a multiple of five. However, the amount of food produced would be about the same, because you can only eat so much, and the land can only produce so much. It follows that the cost of food (at least in relation to the other goods and services) must rise by about five times also. If we assume that we want to pay all those new farmers at least as much as farmers today for their labor (arguably too low as it is), then the total amount of dollars spent must also increase by five times. This doesn't necessarily mean that supermarket prices would rise by five times, because much of the cost of supermarket food is the processing, not the raw materials. But, you can see the basic idea.
Now how do you feel about having the farming population rise not just five times, but ten?
What is fairly clear is that we can't — and shouldn't want to — become a "nation of farmers." That might have been OK in 1860, because the population in 1860 was 31 million people. There was enough land in the U.S. that all of those people could have as much land as they wanted. Today, the population is about ten times that, or 309 million people. If we had the same ratio of farming population (call it 70%) today as then, that would mean 10x as many farmers, and thus each farm would be about 10% the size. This is a recipe for grinding poverty. I mean Bangladesh-type poverty.
Let's see what the math looks like. There are about 641,680 square miles under cultivation today in the U.S.. This does not include rather large areas of excellent farmland that have fallen out of cultivation, especially east of the Appalachians. However, it includes areas that may not be cultivable (or shouldn't be cultivated) in the future, such as areas that demand heavy irrigation, and are causing salinization and depleted groundwater. So, let's call it a wash and say that the land under cultivation in our ideal "nation of farmers" future is the same as today.
There are 640 acres in a square mile, so that's 411 million acres.
We will assume a farming family has four people, and that 70% of the population has a "family farm." That works out to 55 million farming families. Each family would have 7.5 acres.
That is not a lot. Indeed, it is rather too small. Remember, the 411 million acres would produce about the same amount of food as it does today. The main difference is that there would be 220 million people farming, instead of about 6 million today, making the same amount of food (or less) from the same amount of land. Remember that in 1860, all the farmland in the United States was farmed by 31m*70% or 22 million people. Can you imagine the economic contraction this would mean? I don't mean "the simple life." I mean "I live in a shack made of twigs on the edge of starvation."
That would still leave about 90 million people to live in cities, which is three times the entire population of the United States in 1860.
Let's put it this way: what if five million people — from places like Las Vegas perhaps — wanted to move to Vermont and have a "little teeny farm"? The population of Vermont today is about 600,000. And they already own all the farmland. The math just doesn't work.
Some people today are going even farther, and suggesting that we have some sort of future by converting today's Suburbia into micro-farms. The Suburban ideal was always the "little teeny farm," even back in the 1830s. Instead of adopting the Traditional City design, even in small villages as was common in Europe, Small Town America was built on the "farmhouse on a quarter-acre" model that is identical to suburbs today (except that many suburban plots today are smaller than a quarter acre). The fact of the matter is, this sort of hobby gardening is a grossly inefficient way of making food. Just talk to a real farmer about what he thinks about a quarter-acre farm (actually more like an eighth-acre since some of the land is occupied by the house itself and some other bushes, trees and porches).
Look, I have nothing against growing some tomatoes in your backyard, but it is a hobby, or perhaps a survival technique as urban Russians or Cubans discovered. I can tell you one thing it is NOT: it is not sustainable. You aren't going to have a civilization that lasts for a thousand years that is based on eighth-acre hobby gardens. There is no example of this in all of human history, anywhere in the world. For good reason too.
This is just a continuation of the Suburban Fantasy! The same old idiot fantasy that has been going on for over two hundred years!
Stop fantasizing!
I'll tell you what can work: you could have 10% of the population on family farms, growing food in a healthy, natural way, and 90% of the population living in cities. The 90% of the population living in cities should be living in a proper city, which is to say a beautiful Traditional City, rather than a Suburban Fantasy of little quarter-acre ersatz-micro farms. 10% of today's population is 31 million people, which is more than the total number of farmers in 1860.
If 10% of today's population were on family farms, the average farm size would be about 52.5 acres, which is the kind of nice big farm that a family could operate and make a whole lot of food. The kind of nice big farm that people had in 1860, which is why the U.S. drew immigrants from around the world.
Do you see what I mean when I say there is no alternative to the Traditional City?
Can we stop wasting our time with this "little teeny farm" fantasy?
For the most part, the progressive farmer types — the permaculturists and so forth — have done a pretty good job of outlining how that 5%-10% of the population that might conceivably be involved in food production could go about their efforts in the best way possible. Actually, I think that the progressive farmer types still have a lot to do. Few people seem to have completely assimilated the concepts of Masanobu Fukuoka, who is the most sophisticated farmer type that I know of (and he was a full-time farmer, not a part-timer). The real advantages, as I see it, are from abandoning the European grain/meat/dairy pattern altogether. We should have a lot less meat, a lot less dairy, somewhat less grains, and more vegetables. This would tend to solve the farming issue the easy way: just don't do it. About 70% of U.S. grain production goes to feed livestock for meat. If you have fewer livestock (much fewer, like 70% less), and that livestock is grass-fed (in the case of beef) instead of grain-fed, then your grain farming needs basically go away.
Thus, I think that food production and cooking/cuisine should be considered as a whole. Just substituting grass-fed beef for corn-fed beef, or organic corn from chemical corn, doesn't really get us where we need to go.
The problem emerges when this progressive farmer pattern, which might be perfectly good for that 5%-10%, is assumed to be a template for the entire civilization. It's not a matter of population, either. The world population at the birth of Christ, 1AD (acutally 4 BC but close enough), was 200 million people. For the whole world. And the world population in Babylonian times, 1500BC, was about 40 million, or about the same as the population of California today. But even then, there was a pattern of cities and farms. Two separate and distinct formats. Athens. Babylon. Rome. Beijing. Alexandria. Tenochtitlan. And the farmlands that supported them. What we didn't have was some sort of homogenous even goo of little teeny farms, or some mixed-up blend that is not properly either a farm or a city.
The normal pattern of human development, over the past 5000 years. By "city" I mean an urban place, which follows the traditional pattern of urbanization, which I call the Traditional City. It could be a very small village or a giant metropolis. Here we can see a village which is definitely a village, not a farm, and farmlands which are definitely farmlands, not a village. Two separate and distinct patterns, both serving the needs of the other.
Another example of the same principle, from Germany. A metropolis follows the same pattern, just on a much larger scale.
Sometimes I wonder why these simple and obvious things, which humans around the world have done for thousands of years, have today become esoteric knowledge.
OK, farmer fantasists. I'll offer this: let's say 20% of the population was farmers, but that consisted of 5% full-time farmers and 15% part-time farmers, who collectively did the work of another 5% of full-time farmers, so the result is equivalent to 10% of full-time time farmers as described earlier. This is about 62 million people, doing what 21 million people did in 1860.
What about those 15% of the population that are part-time farmers? There are two basic options. One is that they don't have any other income-producing activity. Thus, they don't have much in the way of wealth — they live like Buddhist monks — but they have a lot of free time. No 2500sf farmhouse. No fancy horse and buggy. No iPhone. Maybe they have a 450sf strawbale cottage they made themselves, and a bike. But, unlike the family farmer of 1860, they don't work 12 hours a day six days a week, with a break on the Sabbath. That could work. But it still means 80% of the population is living in Traditional Cities.
The other possibility is that these 15% of part-time farmers also have some other source of income. This would either mean a part-time job, or, for a family, perhaps one full-time worker and another (wife probably) that maybe splits part-time extreme gardening with child-raising and housekeeping.
Let's look at this arrangement. First, the wife doesn't have a job — which is actually rare these days. Obviously, you can't have two parents with full-time jobs plus farming plus kids and housekeeping. Not enough daylight hours.
So, let's assume that the husband has a job that doesn't involve farming (because then they would be in the 5% of full-time farmers). Where is this job? Unless they have some sort of Internet business, it probably means the kind of job you'd have in a city, in an office or factory, hospital, retail store or something of that sort.
In short, the person is working in a city, whether a metropolis or perhaps a small town or village.
This family's primary business is thus the husband's full time job, not the wife's part-time extreme gardening hobby. The viability of this arrangement depends on the husband being able to find adequate and satisfying employment, while still being able to live on a piece of land suitable for extreme gardening, which we could put at a minimum of three acres and could be ten or more. This can be quite difficult in rural areas.
So now we have a problem. The house is on three or more acres, but the job is in a "city" of some sort. How does the husband get to work? Today, the typical answer is "in a car." So, we have automobile dependence built into the equation.
It doesn't quite have to be that way. You could have a small village that is perhaps a mile or three away, and the husband could commute to the village on foot or bike. Still, you'd have to have some sort of adequate job in the village, which is not that common. (The main purpose of villages in farming areas is to provide services to the local farmers.)
The second option is that the family could live in the village, but the farmland is outside the village. Then, the wife would commute the mile or three from the village to the farmland/extreme garden.
Where are the customers for the part-time farmer? Obviously, if everyone is a part-time farmer, then nobody has any local customers, because everyone is making more food than they eat. The big customers for the part-time farmers would, of course, be people in the cities. So, the food would have to be collected and shipped to metropolitan areas. Although the food may be of very good quality, you still aren't going to get the "meet the farmer in person at the farmer's market" experience, unless perhaps the farmer travels to the city to go to the market.
What the farmer fantasists are really fantasizing about, it seems, is the idea of producing food in the backyard of a suburban house in a large city.
There is nothing particularly wrong with this as a hobby, but of course it is hardly even a part-time business at this stage. The typical suburban plot is maybe 1/4 acre on the large size, and it can easily be smaller than that. The house itself and some other niceties occupy some of the area, so the acual area available for food production is perhaps 1/8th of an acre. (In the suburban Los Angeles house I grew up in, the available land would have been more like 1/20th of an acre, and that is only if you used every possible bit.) This might be barely enough to provide fresh vegetables for the family itself, but wouldn't leave much for the neighbors.

The number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to rise, but in what appears to be the worst time of the pandemic, a Koreatown family claims to have received a miracle on Thanksgiving Day.
© Provided by NBC Los Angeles
The Santos family says that despite taking all possible precautions to not get coronavirus, such as social distancing and the use of a mask, the entire family contracted COVID-19 in June and the disease almost took away one of its dearest members, Geoffrey, a 28-year-old man with Down syndrome.
On June 26, Geoffrey was the first to contract the virus and unfortunately became seriously ill. The young man had to be admitted to the Cedars-Sinai Hospital, where his mother, Martha Santos, who was also beginning to show symptoms of the virus, begged doctors to allow her to accompany her son, whom she still considers her little boy.
The mother says that she begged the doctors to let her stay close to her son, as "he has Down syndrome, and he can't take care of himself."
"I cried, so that I could be allowed to stay," Santos assured.
Doctors allowed Santos to accompany his son in isolation for six days, but Geoffrey got worse and had to be taken to intensive care where his mother could not accompany him anymore.
"I cried so much, I went out through those corridors screaming, but they took me out and told me they had to put him on a ventilator," Santos recalls.
Geoffrey who had never been away from his family was left alone.
Meanwhile, Santos, her husband and the rest of the family began to recover from the disease and about a month and a half later Santos claims to have had an extraordinary experience.
"Someone came into my room and told me 'I haven't forgotten you,' I understood that it was God," she said.
A day later the doctor's told her that her son was on the brink of death and that there was only a 5% chance that Geoffrey would survive. They believed that he wouldn't last more than 48 hours.
Saddened, the Santos family clung to prayer and asked God to grant their miracle, that Geoffrey would recover.
The 48 hours passed and Geoffrey was still alive, but the doctors continued to think that the young man would not hold out for much longer. However, three months later, Geoffrey kept fighting and was still here, and although his kidneys were very deteriorated, he began to improve.
After almost five months, the young man was transferred to Kendrick Hospital for rehabilitation.
On Thanksgiving, Geoffrey was finally released from the hospital. His family and members of his church, in which he has participated fervently for many years, gathered outside the hospital to celebrate his journey home.
"God bless the doctors and nurses who fought for my son, I know that God guided them so that they could save my son," says Santos. "They said, your son is a miracle of God! Nobody, nobody survives the coronavirus in Geoffrey's condition."
The Santos share their story because they know that there are many other families who are going through difficult situations due to COVID-19. "Hold on to your faith in God because only God could do this great miracle."
The rest of the family has already tested negative for the virus and no one else has had complications.

The electrochemistry research group, hosted by the Department of Inorganic Chemistry of the FHI, is composed of a multidisciplinary team of scientists performing experimental and fundamental research on a vast portfolio of solid state materials. The principal aim of the electrochemistry group is to study the fundamental physicochemical processes that are involved in energy storage systems for storing intermittent renewable energy. More specifically, we are systematically varying the structural (topography, allotropes) and electronic properties (doping, surface chemical functionalization) of solid state materials, followed by a comprehensive characterization of their consequent functional properties using a variety of complementary in situ or in operando analytical techniques. This robust methodology aims to derive fundamental relationships between the material's structural and electronic peculiarities and several performance metrics (e.g. selectivity and stability) to ultimately establish a basis for further and more rational material optimization.
The electrochemistry research group, performs fundamental and applied experimental research framed within three research areas, namely energy storage, water electrolysis, and charge transport characterization across interfaces.
The development of electrochemical devices with high energy density accompanied by long cycling life is essential to store energy produced by intermittent and renewable energy sources. Contemporary efforts aim at substituting the remarkably stable graphite anode in lithium ion batteries by other solid state materials, such as silicon. This substitution has a significant impact on the electrochemical dynamics and stability of the electrode, and consequently on the energy accumulator. It is our principal aim to better understand the fundamental relationship between structural and electronic factors at the electrode-electrolyte interface and their influence on the mechanically and electrochemically irreversible mechanisms, i.e. the electrode stability and dynamics.
Accompanying the development of energy storage devices, electrocatalysis will play definitive role in energy storage technologies and energy conversion systems of the near future, such as water electrolysis. While the desired product of water splitting is hydrogen, which can be used as combustion gas or as a reactant to produce synthetic fuels, the limiting catalytic process is related to the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The objective of this research is to develop complementary in situ methods to improve our mechanistic understanding of the OER and of the electrode stability and dynamics under working conditions. As example, we are devoting efforts to develop in situ near-ambient-pressure XPS and grazing angle XRD as analytical tools for the in situ studies of novel iridium based electrocatalysts for the OER.
At its most fundamental level, the transformation and storage of chemical energy, as well as the product formation in heterogeneous catalysis, is accompanied by a local displacement of charge carriers, often across an interface. Our group has developed a set of tools, based on the Microwave Cavity Perturbation Technique (MCPT) and Microwave Hall Effect (MHE) to characterize in situ and contactless the dielectric properties of materials including thermally activated catalysts, for example VPP or MoVTeNbOx. More specifically, these powerful instrumental techniques enable us to characterize a catalyst's conductivity, its charge carrier concentration and mobility. We have recently demonstrate the applicability of semiconductor physics and gas sensor theory to gain valuable mechanistic understanding of vanadium based catalysts using the MCPT technique complemented by near-ambient-pressure XPS and NEXAFS.
