Q: okHttp client gives timeout after adding callTimeout() config to it and has moments where the request doesn't reach the host after adding callTimeout() config to the okhttp client I started to get timeouts
Caused by: java.io.InterruptedIOException: timeout
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Canceled

OkHttpClient httpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
                .callTimeout(5_000L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                .connectTimeout(500L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                .readTimeout(5_000L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                .writeTimeout(5_000L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                .build();

I'm not completely sure if having callTimeout configured with the same value as write and read is correct.Is it possible if read and write takes longer to trigger callTimeout()?
Also another weird thing is that there are moments in which the request doesn't even reach the host

A: As after adding the configurations, you are getting this exception, I am suspecting, the requested endpoint needs more time than your configured 5 seconds.
If your requested endpoint is taking more than 5 seconds (5_000 milliseconds) to get a response, you will get a timeout here with this config.
You can use postman to get the response time of your requested endpoint. If it is more than 5 seconds, you can simply configure these values accordingly. Maybe, you can use 30 seconds, instead of 5 Seconds.
I Hope, it helps.

A: callTimeOut()

Sets the default timeout for complete calls. A value of 0 means no
timeout, otherwise values must be between 1 and [Integer.MAX_VALUE]
when converted to milliseconds. The call timeout spans the entire
call: resolving DNS, connecting, writing the request body, server
processing, and reading the response body. If the call requires
redirects or retries all must complete within one timeout period. The
default value is 0 which imposes no timeout.

Correct me if I'm wrong. from what I understand callTimeOut() set call timeout spans for the entire call. Eg: you set callTimeOut = 5s. if resolving DNS takes 1s, connecting 1s, write 2s, read 2s then you will get TimeOut exception. by default, callTimeOut() is set to no timeout while another default Timeouts is 10s. why do you have to set callTimeOut() to 5s? for me, I have never set callTimeOut before.


Travel buyers identified reducing programme costs, increasing policy compliance and traveller satisfaction as their top goals for 2019. They said they typically negotiate with a variety of suppliers to provide their travellers with the best rates.
While 78 per cent of travellers said they are satisfied with their hotel rate allowances, 66 per cent also admitted they would like a higher rate to stay at preferred properties that may be better suited to their needs.
Furthermore, travellers said they want to use amenities that are not always included in their travel policy; more than three-quarters would prefer to book bundled rates including multiple amenities such as premium wifi, gym passes and food delivery services, even if the price is slightly higher. Some even believe this is more cost-effective, though that might not always be the case. However, only 11 per cent of programmes always allow booking bundled rates.
Loyalty also proved to be a sticking point, with nearly 71 per cent of travellers believing they should be able to earn loyalty points in exchange for giving up their personal time to travel. More than half (51 per cent) said they would even risk being reprimanded for booking out of policy if it meant they could book at a hotel where they could earn loyalty points.
This is especially true in the US, where 25 per cent of travellers said the ability to earn points was a factor in deciding where to book. Fifty-two per cent went so far as to say they would never consider booking a hotel where they couldn't earn points; this compares to 37 per cent in France and 31 per cent in the UK.

BunkerMat is used in golf bunkers to retain sand on steep slopes. It works by trapping sand within the open structure of the Bunkermat fibres which allows the sand to be held on steeper bunker slopes. It has been used around the World on many golf courses including a number of championship courses.
Bunker construction in golf courses can be hampered by the movement of bunker sand on steep inclines, creating washouts. BunkerMat is designed to address this movement of sand for golf course designers and architects, when creating golf course bunkers. It works by trapping sand on steep bunker slopes to keep the playing surface intact. It also acts as a filtration barrier limiting the migration of subsoil that could contaminate the bunker sand and make it unplayable.
BunkerMat is strong and durable and will not tear when the bunker sand is raked. It is manufactured in Australia using high quality polypropylene fibres. The system is UV resistant and colourfast. It is designed for long-term durability and performance.
BunkerMat is a three-dimensional matting that is laid on the steep and complex shaped sides of bunkers. The open structure of the fibres in BunkerMat traps the sand to keep bunkers in a good playable condition. BunkerMat is also a filtration barrier which limits the migration of fines from the subsoil rising to the base of the bunker and contaminating the bunker sand, making them unplayable. The synthetic mesh backing on BunkerMat creates strength and durability in the product, thus preventing BunkerMat to tear when the bunker sand is being raked.
BunkerMat is widely used in golf course facilities around the world. Our technical staff can provide guidance on installation based on your course conditions. Get in touch to find out more.

Water Canada | Continental Access, Key to Canadian Water Cleantech Success
The renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement is underway. Canadian corporate executives are, with good reason, concerned that a new wave of protectionism could wash across the continent. Donald Trump, who campaigned on promises to force U.S. governments to Buy American threatened to cancel the agreement just as negotiations began.
September 11, 2017 – Read original article
Let's hope cooler heads prevail, and that level-headed negotiators recognize the benefits of the free trade system that is allowing organizations across the continent to work together to solve the biggest, most pressing problems afflicting this economy.
The benefits that flow from the integrated continental economy that have emerged in the two decades since NAFTA are many. A particularly good example is that of Vancouver, B.C.-based Ostara Nutrient Recovery Technologies, which just opened the world's largest phosphorus reclamation plant in the United States. The project is a reminder of how an integrated North American economy can facilitate important projects like this, which is countering the conditions that now lead to the emergence of dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico each summer.
The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, Ill. (MWRD) is a massive organization that manages the watershed around Chicago and 128 surrounding suburban communities. It does this through half-a-dozen treatment plants and 22 pumping stations. The major concern at the agency these days is what to do about the city's wastewater that contributes to hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico. The MWRD was created in 1889 with a goal to manage the increasing volumes of Chicago wastewater being dumped into Lake Huron.
To save the city's waterfront, the agency reversed the flow of the Chicago and Calumet River Systems and diverted the waste water into the Des Plaines River. Today that wastewater feeds into the Illinois River, then it's on to the Mississippi, and eventually into the Gulf where phosphorus-rich agricultural run-off from the mid-west creates huge algal blooms that deprive fish of oxygen leading to wide-spread hypoxia and dead zones. Obviously, reducing phosphorus at the source has become an important goal at the MWRD.
The organization voluntarily reduced the allowable levels of phosphorus in wastewater, even before regulations had to be enacted. "We want to be able to send water to the Gulf of Mexico without contributing to the dead zone. It's the biggest issue in the midwest now. It's an issue here, in Lake Erie, and across the continent," said David St. Pierre, executive director of the MRWD.
To manage phosphorus levels the agency hit on Ostara's so-called Pearl technology. Wastewater flows through three reactors filled with catalysts that pull the phosphorus from the water. The extracted mineral collects into tiny, nutrient-rich pearls. The by-product is an eco-friendly, slow-release fertilizer branded under the name Crystal Green. All in, the process creates a virtuous cycle: The water is cleaned, the plant recovers a mineral that is finite on earth, and a new revenue source is generated in a product that sends phosphorous back to the land. It's just the kind of forward-thinking, sustainable economic activity that's needed.
Decades of intensive economic activity have created huge pollution issues. Managing the effects of this industrial activity in an attempt to create resilient, stable economic systems is vital to future prosperity—it's more than just an economic trend. That these Canadian and U.S. organizations could easily come together and finish the project while remaining free of border hassles or regulations on procurement is one of the important outcomes of the two decades of NAFTA-based trade. "We cannot accomplish [the goal of reducing phosphorus] without embracing innovation and establishing partnerships that extend beyond borders," said a MWRD staffer. "We are extremely appreciative of the support and working relationships we have with Canadian companies."
"We cannot accomplish [the goal of reducing phosphorus] without embracing innovation and establishing partnerships that extend beyond borders," said a MWRD staffer. "We are extremely appreciative of the support and working relationships we have with Canadian companies."
St. Pierre said he searches high and low across the continent for new technologies. "We are always open to new innovations in the wastewater industry that provide efficiency and practical solutions to wastewater treatment and resource recovery. I'm always looking for solutions," said St. Pierre. On occasion, he will tour the Toronto water conference scene in search of new solution. He added that he is currently considering a Canadian supplier for a de-watering press that the agency is soon to acquire. "I am absolutely looking at the Canadian product. I have to. I run a utility. There are a lot of challenges in the water sector. I have to know what's out there," he said.
As for the Chicago phosphorus reclamation plant, it's been up and running since late May. "The new Ostara project has just been completed and it's functioning well," said St. Pierre. Earlier estimates had been that there would be a 30 per cent reduction in phosphorus levels. But according to St. Pierre some early tweaks to the installation are paying off. "Now that it's running a little more smoothly we're possibly looking at a 45 per cent reduction in phosphorus," he said.
Over time the process is expected to yield 10,000 tonnes per year of reclaimed material, allowing sales of Crystal Green that should provide a net operating benefit of about $1 million per year. Even better, the low original capital outlay of $35 million is a fraction of the $750 million the organization would have spent on a conventional system to reduce phosphorus levels to below 0.3 miligrams per litre. "There was a huge saving with this system," said St. Pierre, "an important consideration at a taxpayer funded organization."
No wonder then Ostara is enjoying a bit of a boom in brand recognition around the continent. The company has just completed a pilot project of the Ostara process in Atlanta that seems likely to lead to a permanent plant there. "They are considered the leader in this area," said Kishia Powell, Commissioner of the Department of Watershed Management at the City of Atlanta. "We built the pilot project, and that has provided the proof. [But] this is how we approach our work: We make sure we are sourcing the best technology at the best price, whether it's from Canada or the U.S. We owe it to customers."
Let's hope the deep benefits of a highly integrated North American economy that allows the seamless and free flow of goods and services across the continent doesn't get sent down the river in the chaos of the Trump White House.

Operations and technology management (OTM) is a hybrid major involving information technology and operations management. OTM is an innovative, quantitative major designed to equip students with the tools necessary to guide them as they face the growing challenges and constant changes in managing global operations. The OTM major prepares students for careers as supply chain analysts, management consultants, quality engineers, data/information analysts, business systems analysts, etc.
The student is required to complete four OTM electives, out of which a minimum of three must be OTM courses. Any non-required 300 and 400 level OTM course qualifies.
One OTM elective may be from the following non-OTM courses.


The long days of dusty summer baseball scrimmages and pavement football games are winding to a close as the later weeks of August draw closer. In the U.S., the back-to-school shopping season is becoming quite the shopping holiday, second in total retail spending only to the winter holidays, such as Cyber Monday and Black Friday. In 2015, digital shoppers spent over $56 billion online in preparation for the school year, a figure expected to increase to $65 billion this year.
Back-to-school versus back-to-college shopping presents an interesting difference in retail sales. Those shopping online for back-to-school spent over $13 billion on apparel & accessories, or significantly more than half of their budget. Digital shoppers purchasing for back-to-college spent considerably less on apparel (roughly $10 billion) and more on electronics and college-specific categories, such as dorm supplies. Back-to-college purchases are also more likely to take place online, as more retailers experiment with convenient fulfillment options geared towards the traveling college student, such as holding items at a local store or future-date shipping.
Mobile has become a more significant means of purchasing than years previous. In 2015, approximately 13% of U.S. retail eCommerce sales and 37% of online shopping traffic came from smartphone shoppers. The shift towards mobile traffic and sales is expected to continue this season, with a projected mobile commerce growth of nearly 47% (eMarketer). A 2016 Bizrate Insights survey found that 48% of digital buyers planned to purchase back-to-school items using a mobile device while 69% of respondents planned to research products via a mobile device.
Students turn to social media to inform their shopping decisions. Though parents and their pocketbooks remain essential to picking and purchasing items, students of all ranges (including college kids) have increasingly become key decision makers when shopping, and rely heavily on image- and video-driven social platforms to stay current with the latest trends. According to a Deloitte survey, teens (defined as age 14 to 18) have the highest rate of visual based app selection, with 41% of app downloaders choosing predominantly photo and video apps (think Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube, to name a few). For shoppers between the age of 14 and 25, over 68% reported that their purchases were influenced by social media buzz (recommendations or mentions), and 52% claimed to be influenced by social media advertisements. Pinterest reported that 7 million people saved 23 million back-to-school pins in 2015, a trend expected to continue growth this year.
As teachers and school districts distribute back-to-school lists and shoppers bustle through stores, the ease of online shopping can alleviate stressful crammed-shelf in-store shopping ventures. Product categories such as apparel, books, and electronics will garner the most purchases, with an interesting buyer delineation forming between back-to-school shoppers and back-to-college shoppers. Mobile commerce continues to rise, with more customers researching and purchasing with their smartphones. Students' purchases are greatly influenced by visual social platforms and peruse blogs or image-heavy look books for school-ready fashion advice. The back-to-school season continues to drive sales, and retailers should keep a close watch on developing trends to take advantage of this budding eCommerce holiday.


I know very little about the inner workings of the OS, so I have been wondering: How would an attacker or a virus use a vulnerabilty in a program on a Linux computer that has not been fixed by an update yet?
A few days ago, I followed a discussion among people who were trying out Manjaro. Some reported that after a few days an update broke their system. To me, it seemed unnecessary to update a desktop pc every day.
Given the following scenario: A pc at home with Peppermint OS behind a router and with a firewall that blocks incoming connections. If no updates were made, how long would it take until the system would be damaged? What would be the most probable threats?
Most likely scenario would be: a rogue website or attack code in ads exploiting weaknesses by means of your web browser. Time until this happens: unknown.
You don't get security updates for nothing. Always install them rightaway. As Peppermint uses an LTS version of Ubuntu as codebase, the risk of regressions caused by updates is small.
Sidenote: that regression risk could even be made smaller if Peppermint would support the update policy feature of Update Manager, but that's currently not the case (yet?).
@Pjotr: Thank you for the answer! It would be a funny experiment, testing how long it takes until some bad things happen.

Heinz Guderian
German general
In all countries and at all times men have succumbed to the suggestive powers of unusual personalities, even if the wielders of those powers were not always good men in the Christian sense.
Heinz Guderian (17 June 1888 – 14 May 1954) was a German WWII general and tank commander, theorist of tank combat and one of the developers of blitzkrieg strategy. He was not charged with any war crimes during the Nuremberg Trials since his actions and behavior were ruled to be consistent with those of a professional soldier. Heinz Guderian died at the age of 65, in Schwangau near Füssen (Southern Bavaria) and is buried at the Friedhof Hildesheimerstrasse in Goslar.
We have severely underestimated the Russians, the extent of the country and the treachery of the climate. This is the revenge of reality.
You hit somebody with your fist and not with your fingers spread.
The engine of the Panzer is a weapon just as the main-gun.
Actions speak louder than words. In the days to come the Goddess of Victory will bestow her laurels only on those who prepared to act with daring.
Achtung-Panzer! : The Development of Armoured Forces, Their Tactics and Operational Potential (1937)
The moral and intellectual condition of a nation may certainly prove of decisive importance on its own account, but all due attention must also be paid to material considerations. When a nation has to reckon with a struggle against superior forces on several fronts, it must neglect nothing that may conduce to the betterment of its situation.

To imitate the ostrich in political matters has never been a satisfactory method of avoiding danger; yet this is what Hitler, as well as his more important political, economic and even military advisers, chose to do over and over again. The consequences of this deliberate blindness in the face of hard facts were devastating; and it was we who now had to bear them.

It has been deduced from Hitler's great power over the masses that the Germans are an unusually suggestible race. But in all countries and at all times men have succumbed to the suggestive powers of unusual personalities, even if the wielders of those powers were not always good men in the Christian sense.
Panzer Leader (1952), Ch. 13 : Leading Personalities of the Third Reich, p. 432
Es gibt keine verzweifelten Lagen, es gibt nur verzweifelte Menschen.
There are no desperate situations, there are only desperate people.
As quoted in Die Deutschen gepanzerten Truppen bis 1945 (1965) by Oskar Munzel
Man schlägt jemanden mit der Faust und nicht mit gespreizten Fingern.
As quoted in Die Deutschen gepanzerten Truppen bis 1945 (1965) by Oskar Munzel, p. 209; this indicated the need to concentrate tank forces for one strong push in one direction and not distribute them over a large area.
Der Motor des Panzers ist ebenso seine Waffe wie die Kanone.
As quoted in Die Deutschen gepanzerten Truppen bis 1945 (1965) by Oskar Munzel, p. 159
It's simply our duty to save these people, and we still have time to remove them! But it's useless to sacrifice men in this senseless way. It's high time! We must evacuate those soldiers at once!
Arguing with Adolf Hitler about the German army being cut off in the Courland Pocket; as quoted in Inside the Third Reich : Memoirs (1971) by Albert Speer, p. 534
Logistics is the ball and chain of armored warfare.
As quoted in Sword Point (1988) by Harold Coyle, p. 141
When the situation is obscure, attack.
As quoted in Waging Business Warfare (1988) David J. Rogers, p. 236
Nicht Kleckern sondern Klotzen!
Boot 'em, don't spatter 'em!
As quoted in How Great Generals Win (1993) by Bevin Alexander, p. 227; this statement became a stock phrase which Hitler often repeated. It is comparable to the adage "Don't do things by half."
If the tanks succeed, then victory follows.
As quoted in Panzerkrieg : The Rise and Fall of Hitler's Tank Divisions (2002) by Peter McCarthy and Mike Syron, p. 33

The item in his right hand is a pattern (likely made from wood) for the locomotive boiler. Note the round extensions sticking out either end. These are "core prints" that locate a inner piece of the mold that makes a hollow part when cast. More than likely the locomotive boiler was cast in brass or bronze in a sand mold.

To judge from the spatters on his shirt, it looks like it was raining when the picture was taken. If so, Mr. Swartzell is probably looking a little uncomfortable because he wants to get his engines back indoors where it is dry.

Private human services in Europe is lively. Throughout the years, numerous private wellbeing elements have shaped coalitions with general human services frameworks to a great extent for good advantages; for all gatherings. In the US, private medicinal services isn't extremely well known attributable to the frameworks that are transcendently seen to profit private medical coverage establishments. There are the two benefits and faults that ride with private frameworks of wellbeing.
• The main favorable position that you can take advantage of with private human services is quality administrations and effectiveness. Not at all like general wellbeing organizations, private players are good to go to make benefits by conveying phenomenal administrations. This will keep customers glad. The relentless rivalry among private players is another factor that keeps them on toes for stunningly better quality administrations. Realizing that your wellbeing is taken into account proficiently is everything you can request and private frameworks normally convey.
• It is through private human services that you have different choices. Assortment is a certain flavor that can prompt better outcome because of another assessment with respect to wellbeing.
• Private medicinal services keeps on facilitating the weight for governments. The individuals who go private enable the state to augment supports and also spend less for open care. In general, a nation or society can advance in this segment.
• Public wellbeing focuses normally have long holding up records and on account of the private alternative, you can get to help inside the briefest time conceivable. Many lives are spared thusly and conditions kept from exacerbating.
• Private offices are by and large better and in spite of the fact that the assets than part with are considerable, you can purchase comfort as you look for medicinal offer assistance.
• There is a ton of accommodating data on the most proficient method to get the correct medical coverage. Along these lines, private social insurance cost weight can be facilitated. Medical coverage organizations with numerous approach alternatives likewise speck the business.
• Private players perceive the customers as vital in basic leadership. Along these lines, patients can have a say in regards to where and when they should be dealt with.
• When it comes to therapeutic specialists, patients can really pick a particular authority or specialist to go up against their case for inevitable treatment.
• The way toward counseling is simple and quick in private organizations of wellbeing. You can really pick the correct time to your benefit.
• Payment should be possible straightforwardly by you or done by your insurance agency.


the majority's opinion raises the concerning possibility that the Court's new reading of section 96 in conjunction with the rule of law principle may be used to undermine existing provincial authority over access to alternative dispute resolution, and private international law more generally.
[c]ontractual clauses sending parties to binding arbitration, or designating other provincial or state courts to resolve the dispute, clearly have the effect of denying a party the right to bring a case before the Quebec Superior Court. They arguably lead to the same result with which the Court is so concerned in Trial Lawyers Association, namely hampering the creation, maintenance, and interpretation of positive laws within the province [by its superior courts].
[w]e must hope that, in light of the problems presented by such an expansive view of superior courts' inherent jurisdiction, in future cases the Supreme Court will be very careful in broadening its interpretation of what constitutes an infringement of section 96.
I obviously agree with this conclusion. However, I am perhaps more confident than Ms. Redko that the potential problems which she and I have flagged will be avoided. The idea of state action, I believe, will actually play a constructive role in distinguishing those barriers to access to superior courts that contravene s. 96 and those that do not.
If I understand her correctly, Ms. Redko assumes that in future s. 96 cases, courts apply the rule from the Charter jurisprudence, which distinguishes common law rules from from legislated ones, the Charter only (directly) applying to the latter, and not the former. For my part, I see no reason for this belief. The rule that the Charter does not apply to private common law rules is grounded in the text of s. 32 of the Charter itself, and has nothing to do with s. 96. Although that case did not involve s. 96, in Canada (Attorney General) v. TeleZone Inc., 2010 SCC 62,  3 S.C.R. 585, the Supreme Court showed that it is aware of the possibility that judicially-created rules will undermine access to justice. I trust that it would treat them in the same way as legislated rules in the context of future s. 96 litigation.
The way the idea of state action will impact such litigation is, I expect ― though perhaps I just hope ― will be to justify a distinction between barriers to access to superior courts created by the government itself ― whether by its legislative, its executive, or its judicial branch ― and those agreed to by the parties themselves. In light of the Supreme Court's recent jurisprudence which, as Ms. Redko notes, "underscored the importance of respecting parties' autonomy to select a mutually agreeable forum," I cannot believe that courts will treat choice of forum or arbitration clauses as equivalent to hearing fees. Courts will, I trust, recognize that rules of law that give effect to the parties' intentions are different from those that hinder them.
In the context of legislation which effectively denies people the right to take their cases to court, concerns about the maintenance of the rule of law are not abstract or theoretical. If people cannot challenge government actions in court, individuals cannot hold the state to account ― the government will be, or be seen to be, above the law. If people cannot bring legitimate issues to court, the creation and maintenance of positive laws will be hampered, as laws will not be given effect.
In the context of this paragraph, and of the opinion more generally, I think that "cannot" must be understood as "are prevented by the state from." The worry is not about the litigants who choose to take their cases elsewhere, but about those who are left with no choice.
But there is also an intermediate class of situations, where parties are given a choice to go to a superior court, but are "nudged" or pressured not to exercise it. I am thinking, in particular of rules designed to encourage parties to settle their disputes, for example by making a party that refuses a reasonable offer to settle responsible for costs even if it wins the case on the merits. This issue was raised at oral argument in Trial Lawyers, and it is true that an expansive reading of that decision might be used to argue for the invalidity of such rules, since both their purpose and, surely, their effect, is to make some litigants forgo trials. But somehow I rather doubt that the Supreme Court would accept such an application of Trial Lawyers.
That said, these are just my guesses. I could be wrong. And even if I am right, Ms. Redko's important post certainly shows that the constitutional theory adopted by the majority in Trial Lawyers is poorly thought through. It is susceptible of interpretations that are both undesirable from a policy perspective and inconsistent with the Supreme Court's own recent jurisprudence. The Court's poor choice of theory may yet turn out to be inconsequential, but it is unfortunate all the same.

Where are the most tolerant metro areas?
The top 20 is a mix of big diverse metros like San Diego and Miami and smaller ones. Many of these smaller metros are college towns that are home to large concentrations of professional, technical and knowledge workers from diverse backgrounds, which lead to higher levels of ethnic and racial integration than larger metros, where economic differences are often greater.
San Diego is the top-ranked metro on the updated Tolerance Index, followed by Napa, Santa Rosa, and Santa Cruz, California, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Ithaca, New York; Oxnard-Thousand Oaks, California; Cape Coral, Florida; Boulder, and Ann Arbor round out the top 10. Miami, Las Vegas, Portland, San Francisco, and Boston all rank in the top 20. Seattle, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Orlando, and greater Washington, D.C. all make the top 30.
Even more than its natural resources and native ingenuity, what has stood at the heart and soul of U.S. prosperity historically has been its openness to hard working, ambitious, and talented immigrants of all stripes—doctors, engineers, and uneducated laborers alike. Roughly half of Silicon Valley start-ups have a foreign-born person among their founding team, according to several recent studies. Careful studies by the economist Giovanni Peri of the University of California at Davis have found that immigrants add rather than detract from American prosperity, for the simple reason that "the skill composition of immigrants is complementary to that of natives." At the low-skill end of the spectrum, immigrants specialize in "manual intensive tasks such as cooking, driving, and building" that their American counterparts tend not to do. At the high-skill end of the spectrum, immigrants bring scientific, technical, and entrepreneurial skills that are in short supply and vital for America's innovative and entrepreneurial engine. A "more multicultural urban environment," Peri concludes, "makes U.S.-born citizens more productive."
Tolerance - and openness to diversity and inclusiveness - is not an afterthought or something that happens when communities get rich. It is a key element of the new economic development equation.

The recently restored Cemaes Bay Lifeboat was officially dedicated at a well attended ceremony in Cemaes Harbour on Sunday.
Large crowds from all over Anglesey witnessed the Reverend Geraint Edwards bless Charles Henry Ashley, the lifeboat first launched in Cemaes over 102 years ago and which saw service up until the 1930's.
The restored 38 foot Classic Watson lifeboat looked mightily impressive as it glided along in the bay outside Cemaes Harbour wall, the enthused crew pulling in unison as the boat ploughed its furrow through the flat calm waters.
While at the end of the pier, a small crew dressed in traditional naval uniforms manned small cannon, and periodically a salvo crackled through the air momentarily reducing the crowds to a stunned silence.
Nearby on a hotel balcony and facing the harbour, a local country music band and a choir of school children entertained the crowds. Along the pier, various charities such as the Anglesey branch of MacMillan's Hospice and the RNLI ran stalls.
Local MP Albert Owen met with crew members of the lifeboats as well as MCA personnel and David Williams, a local boat owner and one of the driving forces to rescue the Charles Henry Ashley from oblivion.
teamwork that is crucial when the emergency services have to respond.
We should remember that while the Charles Henry Ashley (CHA) is now fully restored, it is not commissioned for active service and should an incident arise off the north west Anglesey coast, it would be either or both the RNLI Moelfre and Holyhead lifeboats that would be called out.
Following its decommissioning in 1932, the CHA lifeboat was put into storage where it remained for over 30 years until it was sold at auction for about £600.
Thereafter a local group of maritime enthusiasts carried out renovation work on the vessel. The lifeboat was damaged in the 1990's and moved to a caravan park near Lligwy on the east coast of the island.
By 2000 the lifeboat was rescued from scrap by the sterling efforts of the Amlwch Heritage Trust, and following numerous negotiations between the Trust and boating enthusiasts led by David Williams from Cemaes.
Much work has been done recently to restore the boat, boosted by support from the Wales Co-op, Medrwn Mon and a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
A particularly difficult challenge was to dry out the timbers but under controlled to ensure the shape of the lifeboat was not adversely affected.
Numerous businesses have made contributions including paints, varnish, lifejackets and parts for the engine.

The outside doesn't always match the inside.
There's a certain image of a depressed person that we probably all have in our heads. It might be someone who can't get out of bed in the morning, who goes days without showering, who cuts herself off from friends and family, neglects her children, and fails to show up for work. Depressed people, we think, could be on the verge of suicide at any given time. They just can't function normally; just living normal life is a challenge.
But there's a different kind of depressed person who looks much different than that. Someone who has a great job, supportive family, beautiful apartment, stable relationship, lots of friends, and tons of success. From the outside, she looks like she's winning at life.
But on the inside, she's unrelentingly critical of herself, feels either irritable or numb most of the time, and is filled with a pervasive sense of sadness that she just can't shake. She has trouble sleeping and constantly doubts herself. Everyone thinks she has it all together. But that couldn't be further from the truth. To try and cope, she knocks back a few glasses of wine every night, compulsively overspends on shoes and makeup, or secretly binges and purges.
The type of depression that people tend to picture, in which sufferers can't cope with everyday life, is known as 'major depressive disorder,' or MDD, and is quite different from dysthymia. Wright says MDD is "easier and more obvious to spot" because it entails "more severe levels of impaired biological and mental functioning.
People diagnosed with dysthymia will exhibit two or more of the following symptoms: poor appetite, overeating, insomnia, sleeping too much, low energy or fatigue, low self-esteem, poor concentration, difficulty making decisions, and feelings of hopelessness. Basically, someone with dysthymia can still appear to have a very successful life, great relationships, and post plenty of smiling selfies on Instagram – and still be depressed.
It can be hard to know whether you, or someone you know, has dysthymia, because from the outside, it doesn't look like stereotypical depression. And, like all mental illness, it doesn't necessarily have a cause. There doesn't have to be a reason for someone to be depressed. It's like having a cold – you just have it. You didn't catch it for a reason, and you can't think it away. But, how does it feel?
People with high-functioning depression often struggle with self-doubt and perfectionism. They may feel tired and sad much of the time; their lives seem devoid of joy. They may be irritable and angry, feel guilty over every little thing, and make a big deal out of small incidents. It's hard to slow down, and they often rely on coping strategies, whether it's excessive exercise, working all the time, drinking too much, or cycling through relationships at a rapid clip.
Another is that these people are used to being able to handle everything, and they think they can fix their depression, too. But high-functioning depression isn't something people can just overcome on their own. In fact, says Wright, "the more you push and 'will yourself out of it' instead of seeking proper support, the worse your symptoms may get." Eating disorders, substance abuse, and major depression are all outgrowths of untreated dysthymia.
So if you think you or someone you care about might have dysthymia, what should you do? One thing about people who have high-functioning depression is that they often don't want to think of themselves as depressed. They may feel they're just stressed out, stretched thin, having a bad day, or even that they're perfectly fine and there's nothing wrong at all. They may bristle if you ask whether they're okay.
Of course, you can't force anyone to get help if they don't want to. But you can share this information with them, tell them you love them, and reassure them that there's no shame in asking for help, and that you still they they're amazing and capable and all the wonderful things they are. And if you see yourself in any of this, find a good therapist, speak to your doctor, or reach out to a friend. Yes, you're a badass. But life can be better – and you deserve to feel joy. Every. Single. Day.
