Spineless in Bali: WTO Still Squeezing Small Farmers
Walden Bello December 24, 2013 Walden Bello Asia
Source: Foreign Policy in Focus
Developed countries are still using the WTO to squeeze small farmers in the developing world–and developing world governments are going along with the charade.
During the national debate on whether the Philippines should join the World Trade Organization in 1994-95, proponents promised that joining the organization would help create some 500,000 new agriculture jobs a year. The Philippines, they said, would become a powerhouse exporter of high-value-added crops like broccoli, snow peas, and cut flowers.
In fact, over the next decade, the country was turned from a net agricultural exporter into a net agricultural importer, and employment in agriculture dropped drastically in absolute numbers, from 11.2 million in 1994 to 10.8 million in 2001. In one commodity after another, Filipino producers were driven out of business by cheap subsidized imports of grain, poultry, vegetables, and livestock.
The situation was pretty much the same for many developing countries after 1995, as they were turned from dynamic net agricultural exporters to troubled net agricultural importers. Becoming a party to the Agreement on Agriculture in order to join the WTO, in short, was a bad, bad move.
Carrot and Stick
I was reminded of the historic WTO debate by the negotiations over the so-called "Bali Package" at the recent World Trade Organization Ministerial meeting in Bali, Indonesia, which took place December 3-7.
The developed countries, led by the United States and the European Union, came to Bali with two proposals. The carrot was a "trade facilitation" initiative that would allegedly simplify customs procedures and thus increase global trade, they said, by a "trillion dollars." The stick was a demand that developing countries get rid of significant support programs for farmers and consumers, like food stockpiling, in the next four years, or else be charged in a WTO court for exceeding their allowable subsidy levels of 10 percent of gross domestic product. This was the so-called "peace clause extension proposal."
Many developing countries were upset by the peace clause proposal and skeptical about the benefits for them of the trade facilitation deal. India was especially threatened since it had just passed an expanded program of food stockpiling to help ensure the food security of poor farmers and consumers. But others joined India's protest because the motion placed the burden of rectifying imbalances in the global food trade on developing countries while avoiding any commitment by developed countries to cut their more than $200 billion worth of yearly subsidies to their own agricultural sectors. This massive subsidization has led to systematic dumping, or selling goods below cost, in developing country markets that is driving farmers to bankruptcy.
An Unbalanced Deal
After nearly 20 years of pulling off one shenanigan after another at the WTO, the developed country governments were at it again. Thus, I felt compelled to have a lengthy telephone exchange with the Philippines' lead negotiator in Bali, Secretary of Trade and Industry Gregory Domingo. Secretary Domingo agreed that both proposals were unbalanced in favor of the developed countries. Those countries, he informed me, were not even willing to entertain cuts in their export subsidies—a small portion of their massive subsidy programs—in return for cuts in the already relatively minute subsidies of developing countries.
As for the proposed trade facilitation deal, Domingo admitted that it favored mainly big corporate players, not the small and medium enterprises of developing countries that were engaged in global agricultural commerce. In other words, the Philippine negotiating team was going to Bali with eyes wide open.
The same debate, between food-security advocates and government negotiators pressured by the United States and European Union, took place in other delegations, with Indian, Latin American, and African civil society groups warning their governments not to capitulate.
The President's Orders
Gravely worried about the pressure that would be brought against the Philippines if it chose to support India's stand against an agricultural trade deal, I texted the Philippine President, Benigno Aquino. "Let me just restate my strong opposition to the Philippines' signing on the unbalanced Bali package," I said. "I really hope we will not sacrifice the strategic interests of the Philippines and other developing countries just to achieve a Bali deal."
I was pleasantly surprised when the president replied: "Prof, they are still negotiating and they have been instructed along the lines you have stated." That gave me hope.
Over the next 24 hours, momentous developments took place. India backed down from its opposition when the developed countries agreed to drop their push to invoke sanctions on developing countries maintaining significant food support programs after an extension of four years. However, the burden of living up to the Agreement on Agriculture was still placed on developing countries. Moreover, only their existing food support programs would be covered by the deal, meaning new programs to support their farmers or consumers would open them up to lawsuits in the WTO court.
Most importantly, the developed countries, led again by the United States and European Union, refused to entertain any notion of reducing their massive subsidies, which are the main factor wreaking havoc in global agricultural trade.
As the negotiations drew to a close in the early morning of December 7, I got the following message from Secretary Domingo: "Congressman Bello, the Bali Package is a balanced package, and while parts of it, like some parts in the Trade Facilitation deal, will benefit others more, we benefit also big time in the more transparent processes that we will have, particularly in customs. The peace clause is also of significant benefit to the Philippines as revised without a fixed term limit."
Déjà vu All Over Again
This was déjà vu all over again, to borrow Yogi Berra's immortal phrase. We agreed to a deal on agriculture without the promise of any subsidy cuts on the part of the rich agricultural superpowers, who simply promised that the parties would work towards a "permanent peace clause," whatever that is.
And as far as the gains from trade facilitation were concerned, the Philippine legislature was not provided with any figures on how we would gain "big time" from the deal. Again, the likely source of our trade secretary's optimistic statement was an act of faith in the estimates of the WTO secretariat and neoliberal think tanks like the Washington-based Peterson Institute that there would be a global gain of $1 trillion in trade. Completely abandoned was his concern that it would be mainly big corporations, and not small and medium enterprises in the developing world, that would reap the greatest benefits from the deal.
As in 1995, Philippine negotiators allowed themselves to succumb to the pressures of developed country negotiators whose marching orders from their capitals are to make no substantive concessions. This hardline attitude has forced the developing countries to form an effective defensive bloc since the Seattle Ministerial of the WTO in 1999. In Bali, that bloc collapsed under the pressure exerted by developed countries as well as from Brazil, one of whose representatives fills the post of director general, and host country Indonesia, which wanted a deal at any cost for prestige reasons.
As in the Philippines, food-security advocates in other countries felt betrayed by their governments' capitulation. "The Ministerial Decision seriously compromise[s] India's food security and farmers' livelihoods," said the All India Kisan Sabha farmers' coalition in a statement. "The agreement will threaten expansion of present programs of food security and price support to farmers as well as future programs with such objectives. The USA, EU and other developed countries have brokered a deal with the Commerce Minister Anand Sharma to protect the interests of the rich nations and their agribusinesses. "
For its part, the Africa Trade Network saw the trade facilitation deal as "the very opposite of what African countries need to address the fundamental and peculiar challenges that they face in moving goods and services across national borders. The text imposes obligations on all countries to adopt customs procedures which are standard in the advanced industrial countries, and which most of the big emerging economies have already voluntarily adopted, and which are commensurate with the stage of economic development. African countries on the other hand, have to undertake massive legislative, policy and infrastructural changes to live up to these standards."
Fooled Again
There is now a consensus that the Philippines—and most other developing countries—lost out by joining the WTO nearly 20 years ago. Our agriculture and industry are now on their last legs after becoming part of a global organization whose main "principle" is trade liberalization for developing countries and continued protectionism for the developed countries. I thought we had learned from the debacle of 1995. Our negotiators have not, being steeped in the art of swallowing the rosy calculations of the WTO spinmasters and caving in at the slightest pressure from the powerful.
As in 1995, developing countries will live to regret joining the frightened herd and signing the Bali deal.

If you have failing, damaged or broken teeth, we will have to gently extract them before placing the dental implants. Depending on your implant treatment plan we may extract one tooth to a full arch of teeth.
In order to successfully place dental implants, you must have sufficient jaw bone volume to hold the post in place. We offer effective bone grafting care to ensure you qualify for dental implant placement.
The more extensive your treatment plan, the higher the cost of dental implants will be. Certain procedures like full arch dental implants or sinus lifts are more complicated than single tooth replacement, requiring more advanced care.
In order to successfully place dental implants you must have a healthy oral structure that is free of disease. We can provide you with gum disease therapy to remove disease from your gum tissue and bone to allow for successful implant placement.
Many of our patients can't put a price on the improved quality of life dental implants have given them. With a restored mouth, you will be able to feel more confident smiling and interacting with others, eat a wider range of foods and have the peace of mind knowing that your oral health is preserved. By scheduling a dental implant consultation, our periodontist and staff will examine your mouth and discuss your smile goals with you. This will help us give you an overall estimation on the cost of dental implants for your unique case.
Get your COST estimate for dental implants by scheduling a consultation today.

(1882-1945). 32nd President of the United States (1933-45), Governor of New York (1929-32).
Typed Letter SIGNED deciding a legal issue , on White House stationery bearing watermark of Presidential seal, from aboard the "U.S.S. Houston," 2 separate 4to pp, Oct. 14, 1935.
Franklin D. Roosevelt decides a legal question allowing fish to be distributed in refrigerated meat trucks. "there appears to be nothing which would hinder the fishing industry from utilizing the refrigerator cars belonging to others" Roosevelt writes to U. S. Marshall John J. Murphy (Boston, MA) agreeing to allow the fish companies to transport fish in refrigerated cars belonging to meat packing companies. Murphy sent a 5 1/2 page typed memorandum, included, explaining in great detail the transportation problem faced by the fish industry. Roosevelt agrees to intervene to facilitate this practical solution. Roosevelt begins with a review of the problem Murphy described. "You state that that industry [fish industry] has a limited market because refrigerator cars used for transporting meat to the East are returned empty. You attribute the existence of this situation to the so-called 'Consent Decree' and propose that steps be taken to remove the restrictions in order that the facilities which are now employed for the distribution of meats may be made available to the fishing, fruit and vegetable industries...." Roosevelt reviews the "Consent Decree" explaining that is "was the climax of a suit brought by the Government under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act...against five of the leading packers in 1920," preventing them from using their "facilities in the handling of a large variety of non-meat food products, including fish...." The Government believed that the packers planned to extend their monopolistic practices to other food products. "It was on this account that packers were required to discontinue any dealing in many non-meat lines...." Roosevelt reviews Supreme Court decisions which twice upheld the restriction noting the Court, "refused to permit a modification of the decree...." FDR then reasons that the Decree affects the designated large companies, "there appears to be nothing which would hinder the fishing industry from utilizing the refrigerator cars belonging to others who ship perishable commodities to the East. It is my understanding that there is a heavy movement of empty refrigerator cars westward and these include both those which are owned by carriers and whose which are privately owned. If the 'Consent Decree' were modified...." to allow packers to transport fish, a question would then arise about cost. He advised Murphy to "look into these particular phases of the problem...." Roosevelt concludes with a statement about the importance of transporting food across the country offering to arrange a conference among the various governmental entities involved. He notes the divergent roles played by the Department of Justice and the Interstate Commerce Commission in light of the Supreme Court restrictions against the meat packing industry. Signed in full, "Franklin D. Roosevelt." Very slight chipping at margin folds, some soiling at margins.
The USS Houston, from which FDR wrote our detailed letter, was a Northampton-class cruiser of the U.S. Navy, first launched in 1929, but sunk in the Battle of Sunda Strait on March 1, 1942. President Roosevelt cruised aboard the USS Houston a number of times during his tenure as President . At least four journeys are recorded, including this one corresponding with our Oct. 14 letter, from October 2-23, 1935 [see fdr library at Marist College, Day by Day events]. ." On October 14, FDR's "Day by Day" listing notes, "anchored to the eastward of Pedro Gonzales Island" and also notes that he was going fishing with Governor Schley of the Panama Canal. He later traveled with Schley to and through the Gatum locks. The Wikipedia entry for the USS Houston shows a photo of the ship off San Diego in October 1935 "with President Franklin D. Roosevelt on board. She is flying an admiral four-star flag at her foremast peak, and the Presidential flag at her mainmast peak. Roosevelt appointed his correspondent, John J. Murphy, to the position of the U.S. Marshal for the District of Massachusetts in 1935. He served until 1939. Previous to that posting, Murphy was the first Democratic Mayor of Somerville, Mass. (1930-1934) and President of the Boston-based Franklin D. Roosevelt League. Murphy, being from the Boston area, would no doubt have been involved in or certainly aware of the fishing industry in Gloucester during the early 1930s. An article on July 15, 2010 citing pieces in the New York Times from April through June of 1933 about the fishing industry indicated there had been a series of interactions between the President and the depressed fishing community in Gloucester during 1933. There was a shortage of cod and a surplus of mackerel. Fisherman were known to be dumping their catch to protest the low prices being paid for the fish. They wanted subsidies similar to the aid FDR had given farmer. The President met with the fishermen, seemed to be in support of them, but on his next visit to Gloucester, was asked where that aid he promised was. Nothing had been done to alleviate the problems of the fishing industry. FDR's decision to facilitate transportation of fish, as reflected in our letter, was made against this problematic background.

The list included detainees accused or convicted of terrorist offenses in Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Russia.
These figures are certain to intensify debate in Washington over the prison, which has been strongly criticized by many, including allies of the United States. Rights groups have voiced skepticism about previous Defense Department statements on former Guantanamo detainees taking part in terrorism. Some have suggested they are intended to stoke fear among Americans about its closing.

An incredible day for making money. Something is definitely wrong with they way I am seeing things. Seems I am always on the wrong side of the market lately. Fighting the tape. I missed a fantastic short early on by being a bit greedy in terms of where I wanted the entry. I even marked the entry level before the market reached that level but at the last minute, I thought I saw a better location a bit higher up and so I moved my limit order there only to see it collapse to my target area.
I was short just prior to the number, it took me out BE and as you know, collapsed hard to the lows of the day. After that, I lost all perspective and got hit for a 1% loss. This is the worst loss I've had in a long time in terms of absolute dollars.
I think I might be thinking to much AFTER I find my levels. Over thinking leads to over trading and that is what happened today.
Not sure about trading tomorrow, I might need to take a day or so to clear my head. It isn't the loss, it's how it occurred that disturbs me.

Sentō
A sentō at the Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum.
Sentō are Japanese public bathhouses. People take baths together there. Many Japanese people think of sentō as an important part of Japanese culture, with its manners and ideas about communities.[1][2][3]
Sentō are not the same as onsen. Onsen are baths built on natural hot springs. Onsen water has dissolved rock in it. Sentō water is either tap water or well water.[4] Some sentō may add good-smelling plants or bath salts to the water. Sentō cost less than onsen to visit.[5]
Today, sentō are not as popular as they once were. This is because people have bathtubs and showers in their homes.[6] They do not need to go to a sentō to clean. Many people still go to sentō, but they go to enjoy the water and relax.[1] The Tokyo Sentō Association makes sure going to a sentō does not become expensive because they want people to be able to go to sentō.[7] Local organizations decide the price. For example, in Tokyo, the Tokyo Sentō Association decides the price.[7][3] In 2020, the price to go to a sentō in Tokyo was ¥480,[6] or a little over US$4.10.
Architecture[change | change source]
General layout of Sentō
On the outside, some sentō look like temples. The entrance has a Japanese curtain called a noren.[7] Noren at sentō are usually blue. Most sentō have concrete or steel chimneys for the boilers that heat the water. Sometimes, a person can find a neighborhood's sentō by looking for a building with this kind of special chimney.[8]
The dressing area is usually made in the traditional Japanese style, with wood and dark colors. The bathing area are usually made with tiles and is full of light. Japanese people think of this style as Western.[8]
Sentō have separate places for men and women, but young children can go to either side. Babies often go with the women. Fathers take boys and very young girls to the men's side.[1] Sometimes there is a door between the men's and women's sides. Children are allowed to go through the door.[8]
Many sentō have a large mural, or wall painting, near the tubs. Many are landscapes or pictures of Mount Fuji.[6] The water in the air is bad for the paint, so the murals wear out. Repainting a mural in the one day a week that a sentō is closed is hard to do, so some sentō use tiled mosaics or a window that looks out on a garden for decoration instead.[8]
Some sentō owners and their families live in rooms at the back of the building.[8]
History[change | change source]
Women at a bathhouse before 1815.
People built the first sentō during the Nara period, in the 700s.[9] The first people to use sentō were monks.[9] They used the sentō for ritual purification. Later, more sentō were built for ordinary people to go and get clean. By 1700, most of the neighborhoods in Tokyo, then called Edo, had their own bathhouse. Many of the sentō of that time were steam baths, not soaking baths. They did not have windows, so the bathers could not see very well. Sometimes the water was dark and dirty.[1]
In 1868, the Meiji Restoration took away some of the class system of Japan. After that, many former nobles or samurai took baths with the regular people in sentō.[1]
Tsurusawa Monzaemon had the idea for modern sentō in 1878. Instead of a steam bath, he built a big tub that the bather could sit down in. He put windows in his sentō so there would be light to see by. This made it easier to see whether the water was clean. People liked these new sentō and soon built many more of them. In 1885, the government said no one could build the old, dark sentō any more. All new sentō had to be light so they could be kept clean. They also passed a law against men and women bathing together, but no one cared about it until after many foreigners began to visit Japan later in the Meiji period (late 1800s).[1]
A sentō in 1901.
In the 20th century, sentō became less popular. To keep customers, sentō owners put in bubblers, exercise equipment, saunas, electric shocks and other things bathers could not get at home. In 1972, there were about 21,200 sentō in Japan. This went down to 13,250 in 1985.[1] There were 499 sentō in Tokyo as of 2021.[6]
Super sentō[change | change source]
People began building super sentō in the second half of the 20th century. Super sentō have more things to do than regular sentō. Some have water slides, swimming pools, or restaurants. Super sentō are meant to be fun instead of relaxing. [10]
Manners[change | change source]
A bath in a sentō at a youth hostel.
Before entering, visitors take off their shoes and put them in shoe lockers. At sentō in Japan today, it is not good manners to clean one's body in the bathtub. Bathers must shower before getting in the water. This keeps dirt, sweat and other things from making the water dirty. Many sentō provide soap and towels.[source?] Bathers sit on a stool in the shower. The bathers must not wear any clothes or swimsuits in the sentō. Bathers may use towels at the sentō or bring their own, but the towel must not go in the water.[7] Bathers put the towels on their heads instead. People with long hair tie it up so it does not get in the water.

NYE AND RILEY'S
Wit and Humor
(Poems and Yarns)
JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY & BILL NYE
BY BARON DE GRIMM, E. ZIMMERMAN, WALT McDOUGALL, AND OTHERS
THOMPSON & THOMAS, CHICAGO.
COPYRIGHT 1900, BY THOMPSON & THOMAS.
Edgar Wilson Nye was whole souled, big hearted and genial. Those who knew him lost sight of the humorist in the wholesome friend.
He was born August 25, 1850, in Shirley, Piscataquis County, Maine. Poverty of resources drove the family to St. Croix Valley, Wisconsin, where they hoped to be able to live under conditions less severe. After receiving a meager schooling, he entered a lawyer's office, where most of his work consisted in sweeping the office and running errands. In his idle moments the lawyer's library was at his service. Of this crude and desultory reading he afterward wrote:
"I could read the same passage to day that I did yesterday and it would seem as fresh at the second reading as it did at the first. On the following day I could read it again and it would seem as new and mysterious as it did on the preceding day."
At the age of twenty five, he was teaching a district school in Polk County, Wisconsin, at thirty dollars a month. In 1877 he was justice of the peace in Laramie. Of that experience he wrote:
"It was really pathetic to see the poor little miserable booth where I sat and waited with numb fingers for business. But I did not see the pathos which clung to every cobweb and darkened the rattling casement. Possibly I did not know enough. I forgot to say the office was not a salaried one, but solely dependent upon fees. So while I was called Judge Nye and frequently mentioned in the papers with consideration, I was out of coal half the time, and once could not mail my letters for three weeks because I did not have the necessary postage."
He wrote some letters to the Cheyenne Sun , and soon made such a reputation for himself that he was able to obtain a position on the Laramie Sentinel . Of this experience he wrote:
"The salary was small, but the latitude was great, and I was permitted to write anything that I thought would please the people, whether it was news or not. By and by I had won every heart by my patient poverty and my delightful parsimony with regard to facts. With a hectic imagination and an order on a restaurant which advertised in the paper I scarcely cared through the livelong day whether school kept or not."
Of the proprietor of the Sentinel he wrote:
"I don't know whether he got into the penitentiary or the Greenback party. At any rate, he was the wickedest man in Wyoming. Still, he was warmhearted and generous to a fault. He was more generous to a fault than to anything else more especially his own faults. He gave me twelve dollars a week to edit the paper local, telegraph, selections, religious, sporting, political, fashions, and obituary. He said twelve dollars was too much, but if I would jerk the press occasionally and take care of his children he would try to stand it. You can't mix politics and measles. I saw that I would have to draw the line at measles. So one day I drew my princely salary and quit, having acquired a style of fearless and independent journalism which I still retain. I can write up things that never occurred with a masterly and graphic hand. Then, if they occur, I am grateful; if not, I bow to the inevitable and smother my chagrin."
In the midst of a wrangle in politics he was appointed Postmaster of his town and his letter of acceptance, addressed to the Postmaster General at Washington, was the first of his writings to attract national attention.
He said that in his opinion, his being selected for the office was a triumph of eternal right over error and wrong. "It is one of the epochs, I may say, in the nation's onward march toward political purity and perfection," he wrote. "I don't know when I have noticed any stride in the affairs of State which has so thoroughly impressed me with its wisdom... Continue reading book >>

Operation Lockstep
Was the COVID-19 Pandemic Planned in Rockefeller's 'Operation Lockstep'?
Diabolical plans for world domination aren't normally posted as readily available PDFs.
DAN EVON
The COVID-19 pandemic was planned by the Rockefeller Foundation in "Operation Lockstep."
In July 2020, several social media users started posting about "Operation Lockstep," a document allegedly released by The Rockefeller Foundation that showed how global elites had planned to manufacture the COVID-19 pandemic for the last 10 years in order to implement a police state:
Like most conspiracy theories, "Operation Lockstep" is based on a small grain of truth: In 2010, the Rockefeller Foundation funded a scenario-planning exercise that envisioned how hypothetical future events could impact the development of technology. This document, however, does not provide any sort of "operation manual" for how to manufacture a global pandemic. Rather, it envisions how the world would be impacted in four different scenarios (including a global pandemic).
When we look at this rumor a little closer, it becomes clear that what is being called "Operation Lockstep" has very few similarities to the COVID-19 pandemic, and that much of the fear about this document was manufactured by purveyors of misinformation.
What Is "Operation Lockstep: From the Rockefeller Playbook"? It Doesn't Exist.
For starters, the above-displayed image entitled "Operation Lockstep: From the Rockefeller Playbook" is presented as if it shows a screenshot from a document published by The Rockefeller Foundation. However, there is no document called "Operation Lockstep," and this image did not come from a "Rockefeller Playbook." Those spreading this rumor have linked "Operation Lockstep" to a report entitled "Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development" that was published by The Rockefeller Foundation in 2010.
The "Scenarios for the Future of Technology" document envisions four scenario narratives, only one of which, dubbed "Lock Step," deals with a global pandemic. The text in the above-displayed image, "1st Phase: Common cold/flu. Mild symptoms at most. Media endorsement of mass paranoia and fear. Flawed testing system utilized, which picks up any genetic material in the body and triggers a positive result. Inflation of Covid case numbers, through changing of death certificates, double-counting, and classifying all deaths including other disease and natural causes as COVID19. Lockdown will condition us to life under Draconian laws, prevent protests and identify public resistance," etc., does not appear anywhere in this document. In fact, nowhere in the "Lock Step" section of "Scenarios for the Future of Technology" is the word "COVID" even mentioned.
Does the Quote "Under the Guise of a Pandemic, We Will Create a Prison State" Come from the Rockefeller Foundation? No.
Rumors about "Operation Lockstep" are often shared on social media along with the quote: "Under the guise of a pandemic, we will create a prison state." Again, this quote does not appear anywhere in the actual document from the Rockefeller Foundation. This quote appears to come from the Wordpress blog envirowatchrangitikei's faulty interpretation of the "Scenarios for the Future of Technology" document. While the Rockefeller Foundation did envision a world where governments implemented stricter rules to combat the pandemic (including the mandatory requirement to wear face masks), they did not warn about a "prison state."
More importantly, however, the genuine report from The Rockefeller Foundation did not envision a future in which world leaders manufactured a pandemic to implement a prison state. A section of this document envisions how global leaders would react to a real pandemic, not how they would create a fake one.
What Are the Similarities Between "Operation Lockstep" and COVID-19? Few and Far Between.
While the "Lock Step" section of the actual document does deal with a global pandemic, the similarities between The Rockefeller Foundation's envisioned scenario and the current COVID-19 crisis are few and far between. For instance, the hypothetical pandemic envisioned by foundation started in 2012, originated in wild geese, and killed 8 million people in the first 7 months. Comparatively speaking, the COVID-19 pandemic began at the end of 2019, is widely believed to have originated with bats, and, according to John Hopkins University, has killed just over 600,000 people within an approximate 7 month time-span.
The "Lock Step" scenario also envisioned that the majority of deaths during this hypothetical global pandemic would take places like Africa, Southeast Asia, and Central America. As of this writing, the most deaths from COVID-19 — about 140,000 — have taken place in the United States.
A video report from news outlet WUSA9 on the differences and similarities between this rumor and the actual document from The Rockefeller Foundation can be viewed here.
Why Did the Rockefeller Foundation Produce "The Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development" Report? To Better Prepare for the Future.
This rumor is based on a 2010 report published by The Rockefeller Foundation entitled "Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development." This document does not detail an "operation" in a "playbook" detailing how global elites can manufacture a pandemic and implement a prison state. Rather, this document explores the possible outcomes of four different scenarios.
Judith Rodin, the President of the Rockefeller Foundation, explained the purpose of this document in an introductory letter:
One important – and novel – component of our strategy toolkit is scenario planning, a process of creating narratives about the future based on factors likely to affect a particular set of challengers and opportunities. We believe that scenario planning has great potential for use in philanthropy to identify unique interventions, simulate and rehearse important decisions that could have profound implications, and highlight previously undiscovered areas of connection and intersection. Most important, by providing a methodological structure that helps us focus on what we don't know – instead of what we already know – scenario planning allows us to achieve impact more effectively.
The result of our first scenario planning exercise demonstrate a provocative and engaging exploration of the role of technology and the future of globalization, as you will see in the following pages. This report is crucial reading for anyone interested in creatively considering the multiple, divergent ways in which our world could evolve.
Our conclusion
In 2010, The Rockefeller Foundation produced a report entitled "Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development" that envisioned how the world would be impacted in four different scenario narratives — one of which dealt with a global pandemic. This document gives a hypothetical look at future events in order to envision possible problems that might arise. While this document does explore how the global population couldreact during a pandemic, it is in no way an "operation manual" for how to manufacture a virus in order to implement a police state.

Easy to install and configure. Android, iOS, and Web browser support. Remote sensors. Sleek design.
Temperature slider can be tricky. Cannot monitor remote room temperature.
The Ecobee3 is a stylish Wi-Fi thermostat that you can control from anywhere, and it uses remote sensors to control the temperature of multiple rooms in your house.
When you think of digital home thermostats, the Nest Learning Thermostat is probably the first product that comes to mind. But before Nest burst onto the scene in 2011, Canadian-based Ecobee had already introduced a smart thermostat two years earlier. The company has been at it ever since, and recently released the $249 Ecobee3, an attractive Wi-Fi thermostat that you can control from your iOS or Android phone and from your PC via the Web. The thermostat is easy to install and even easier to program, and it's loaded with features including a remote sensor for heating and cooling rooms outside of the thermostat zone, numerous reminders and alerts, a capacitive touch display, and a Home IQ system monitor that tracks heating and cooling usage. It's our new Editors' Choice for smart thermostats.
Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd Generation)
The Ecobee3 eschews the puck-shaped design of the Nest and the Honeywell Lyric. Instead, the thermostat has a stylish 3.9-inch square housing with rounded corners that is under an inch (0.90-inch) thick. Behind the Ecobee3's black faceplate is a 3.5-inch full color capacitive touch display, and behind that is a white wall plate with 11 terminal connections for heating, cooling, heat pumps, air handlers, and accessories. The Ecobee3 is compatible with most 1- and 2-stage HVAC systems and can control compatible dehumidifier, humidifier, and ventilation devices.
In the middle of the display is the current temperature, and to the right is a vertical slider for manually setting the temperature. I found the slider to be a bit too sensitive, forcing me to slow down my finger swiping to land on the desired degree mark. Other than that, the screen is very responsive and easy to navigate. A snowflake icon appears above the temperature readout when the system is in cooling mode, and a flame icon appears when it's in heating mode. Below the temperature readout are icons for the Main Menu, Live Weather, and Quick Changes. Quick Changes lets you override your current heating, cooling, and ventilator settings without changing your programmed schedule. Live Weather shows the current local weather conditions with temperatures and icons for snow, rain, clouds, or sun. It also displays the extended weekly forecast.
The Main Menu is where you go to enable and disable your HVAC system and set fan runtimes. Here you can also set Comfort settings for when you're home, away, or asleep, and create daily and weekly schedules using these settings. You can also set a vacation schedule based on your departure and arrival dates and times, and set a temperature for that timeframe. The Ecobee3 offers a nice selection of alerts and reminders for things like maintenance, filter replacement, UV lamp replacement, low and high temperature, and low and high humidity. You can have notifications pushed to your smartphone and sent to an email address.
The iOS and Android apps offer the same basic functionality as the thermostat menus, but you can't configure the remote sensors from the app; that must be done directly on the thermostat. The Web app looks similar to a Windows 8 desktop, and is populated with tiles for Weather, Quick Changes, Vacation, Settings, Reminders and Alerts, Schedule, and Home IQ. The Home IQ feature, which is only available on the Web app, offers colorful graphs that show you a historical track of HVAC usage for the entire system. You can also see what the outside temperature was during a specific time to see how it impacted your HVAC system.
Included in the box is a single remote temperature and motion sensor that can be placed in any room. The sensor measures the temperature in the room and sends a call to the thermostat to ensure that the room is heated or cooled to the house temperature setting. It also works with Ecobee's Smart Home/Away feature, which uses the sensor's motion detector to bring the room up to temperature (Home mode) when it is occupied, and suspend heating and cooling (Away mode) when it is empty. Additional sensors go for $79 for a two-pack, and the Ecobee3 supports up to 32 sensors.
Installation and Performance
Installing and configuring the Ecobee3 is fairly easy. If you're not familiar with thermostat wiring, you can refer to the comprehensive and easy to follow printed installation guide. It does require a C (common) wire, which supplies power to the thermostat, but if your system doesn't have one, don't despair: The Ecobee3 comes with a Power Extender Kit that supplies power to the thermostat. The power kit is not difficult to install, and Ecobee provides explicit instructions. It does require tinkering with your furnace wiring, so if you're not comfortable with that, you might want to bring in a professional.
After powering down my HVAC system I removed my old thermostat, labeled the wires, hooked up the Ecobee3, and attached it to the wall (I have a C wire and did not have to install the power kit). Upon powering up the system, the Ecobee3's display showed a wiring diagram and asked me to verify if it was correct. It then asked if I had any dehumidifier, humidifier, or ventilator devices installed, and asked me to choose Fahrenheit or Celsius and to verify my heating system type. Next, I was prompted to enter my ideal home temperature (for when the home is occupied), and I enabled the Smart Home/Away feature. Now it was time to connect to my Wi-Fi; I chose my SSID, entered my password, and was connected within 15 seconds. At this point a registration code (required to create a user account) was generated. I went to the Ecobee site to register the thermostat, and was asked to enter my 4-digit registration code, my name, email address, and password. I was then asked if I wanted to set up my weather, which involves accessing my location and supplying an address, and if I wanted to enable the Home IQ feature. I answered yes to both and that was it. The entire installation process took less than 30 minutes.
Enabling the sensor was simply a matter of standing in front of the thermostat and pulling out the battery tab. The sensor was identified and paired with the Ecobee3 in just a few seconds. I named it and placed it in my office, which is on the other side of the house from the thermostat and is usually a few degrees cooler than the rest of the house.
The Ecobee3 worked like a charm. It responded immediately to manual changes made directly on the screen, and showed only a very slight lag (around five seconds) when responding to changes made via Wi-Fi on my iPad. The thermostat followed my Home, Away, and Sleep schedules perfectly, and reacted to Quick Changes instantly. It also sent push notifications and email alerts when the temperature and humidity reached my specified thresholds, and the sensor kept my office nice and toasty.
My only gripes are sensor-related. As mentioned above, you have use the thermostat to enable or disable the Smart Home/Away and Follow Me options for each sensor, and there's no way to tell what the current temperature is in a room with a sensor.
Like our previous Editors' Choice, the Nest Learning thermostat, the Ecobee3 is a well-designed Wi-Fi thermostat that lets you control your heating and air conditioning system from your smartphone and provides graphical usage reports. Both thermostats use motion sensing to determine if the house is occupied, and both will adjust the heating and cooling accordingly. However, the Nest can't sense temperature or motion in other rooms, and may leave you shivering if you're in another part of the house, whereas the Ecobee3's remote sensors have you covered. I also prefer the Ecobee3's touch-based method of data entry, as opposed to the Nest's method of turning and pushing the dial to enter characters.
If your schedule is constantly changing and your family is always on the go, check out the Honeywell Lyric. It too can be controlled from a smartphone, but it uses geofencing technology to raise and lower your heat depending on your location, and it's easy to install and configure. That said, the Ecobee3 is better suited to users who require flexible scheduling options and want to track energy usage, and it's also easy to install. As such, it earns our Editors' Choice for smart thermostats.
Bottom Line: The Ecobee3 is a stylish Wi-Fi thermostat that you can control from anywhere, and it uses remote sensors to control the temperature of multiple rooms in your house.

Are Mining Interests behind Aboriginal community closures?

Here is the way to go.
The people in these communities are trained up to build the facilities these communities need and also to maintain these facilities. Other members of these communities are trained up to be the teachers, doctors and nurses so as to at least make an effort in improving the quality of life in these communities. That's the Australian way.
I really don't want to come across as being racist but your idea is pure fantasy.
The gap between what you propose and what is currently realistic is massive.
(and just to be clear, I am against the closure of these communities)

Probably true, but, if the education system is allowed to be more open and accessible to all, that would certainly help achieve it.

If anyone wants to do more than just jaw about this sort of thing, feel free to at least sign the petition below for a start, & if you can, dip into your pocket to help fight the [email protected]s.
As a collective, the people have much more power than big anything, &/or Governments, & the new platforms social media & the interwebs now provide means that power is available to be used & enforced, easier than ever before, just have to get enough people off thier collective apathetic, all talk, no action arrses to reach a critical mass.
I've been engaged in Get Up & others (WWF, ACF & the like) & reckon there has been a 60 -70% success rate on the petitions over the past few years, you really can make a difference without leaving your armchairs.
Get involved & push the idea & links out to as many as you can, these things really are the answer if enough people get on board…
https://getup.org.au/campaigns/mining/help-us-fight-adani/help-us-fight-adani?t=nVeNYHjo4&utm_content=8041&utm_campaign=Urgent%20legal%20help%20required&utm_source=blast&utm_medium=email
Hi xxx,
It's Adrian Burragubba here. Adani is playing dirty, and we need your help.
When we rejected Indian mining company Adani's offer to exploit our land, they took aggressive legal action to overrule our rights just six days later. Now we have to fight to protect our land in court.
They have betrayed our trust and are getting set to destroy our land and our culture. You've pledged your support, but now I'm going to have to ask you, if you can, to help me again.
We face losing everything that is our inheritance. But to mount this fight to protect our heritage, we need more than our conviction and courage. We urgently need funds to mount a legal challenge and appeal against Adani's action. Can you please make a donation so we can fight Adani in court?
Adani is trying everything, and from the beginning have shown their arrogant, disrespectful treatment of our law and customs. They have misrepresented us, and they have betrayed us. They took action to remove our rights through a legal system designed to favour big mining over the rights of Indigenous peoples. It seems they'll stop at nothing to get their mine, which will destroy our ancestral land and the underpinnings of our lore and culture.
If we can raise enough money, we will appeal the National Native Title Tribunal's decision to allow the Queensland Government to issue mining leases to Adani, despite our refusal to enter an agreement with the company. The Tribunal even recognised that we have not given our consent or agreement to the mine, but still overruled our internationally recognised rights in favour of Adani.
The Tribunal has sanctioned the destruction of our ancestral lands and cultural heritage on the grounds that it's in the 'public interest'. We will contest the idea that building one of the world's largest coal mines is good for the people and the country.
Our right to self-determination and free, prior, and informed consent is being trampled.
We have to fight back, but we can only do it with the help of our supporters. Can you please get behind us to fight for our rights and our land in court by donating to our fighting fund? http://www.getup.org.au/stand-with-us
The truth is we're up against a multi-billion dollar company and a legal system that makes it very tough for traditional owners. We know we've got a strong, righteous case to run, but we're not going to leave it at that.
We'll continue to fight for our rights through the courts, and look to international law if need be. We will visit investment banks around the world to stop the project getting funding. And if it comes to it, we will take our fight all the way to the United Nations.
This fight will define our people and be a landmark moment for Indigenous rights and climate change in Australia. Can you help us defeat Adani by donating to our fighting fund?
Adani think they can walk all over us but they've never seen anything like this. Our lands and our way of life, and the legacy of our ancestors, mean too much to our people to rollover. We are here to fight and we won't stop until our land is protected.
Adrian Burragubba,
on behalf of the Wangan and Jagalingou Traditional Owners Council
for the Wangan and Jagalingou people
PS - After I first wrote to you and others, Wangan and Jagalingou people were overwhelmed by the response. To know that more than 90,000 people have chosen to stand with us as we fight to protect our land and our culture from Adani has given us real strength and confidence. On behalf of Wangan and Jagalingou people who are opposed to this mine, we sincerely thank you.
Heres another example… (wont post any more unless directly subject relevant)
Hi xxx
Five bad ideas and five good ideas – what's your pick?
Every year, our government hands out billions of dollars to big polluting companies through tax breaks and subsidies.
While the rest of the world takes steps to cut pollution, our government lets these giants pollute with abandon. Even worse, it actually pays them to pollute.
Right now, Joe Hockey is busy looking for ways to save the government money. Next week he'll hand over the Federal Budget.
Five really bad ways to spend public money in the Federal Budget:
1.Pay Glencore Xstrata $109 million to pollute.
2.Pay BHP Billiton $93 million to pollute.
3.Pay Peabody $58 million to pollute.
4.Pay Rio Tinto $57 million to pollute.
5.Pay Anglo American $49 million to pollute.
Cutting handouts to Big Coal and other polluters will save the Budget $15 billion over four years.
Fifteen billion goes a long way. Just think of all the ways that money could make Australia a better place:
Five really good ways to spend public money in the Federal Budget:
1.Cut pollution with smart rules that make polluters pay and invest in clean energy.
2.Fund Indigenous rangers to look after country.
3.Protect the water catchments that provide our drinking water.
4.Create a threatened species recovery fund.
5.Formally require governments to consider the environment in decision making.
Fifty thousand reasons to speak out and not stay silent at budget time
Our government has a duty of care to protect life. 42,859 people have already signed our petition with one simple message to Treasurer Joe Hockey: Put an end to big polluter handouts. Let's make it 50,000. Will you add your name ?
Sign the petition:
TO: Treasurer Joe Hockey
"Put an end to big polluter handouts."
https://action.org.au/end-big-polluter-handouts?&utm_medium=email&utm_source=acflive&utm_content=1&utm_campaign=2015-04-30-Big-polluter-budget-petition&source=2015-04-30-Big-polluter-budget-petition
Kelly O'Shanassy
P.S. Want all the details? Read ACF's research: Subsidising Big Coal: Handouts to Australia's biggest coal mining companies through the Fuel Tax Credits Scheme and our budget submission Budget '15 gives the government a stark choice: back big polluters or the people.

They are being closed because to keep them open is basically inhumane. I'm not sure why people are so obsessed with keeping them living in substandard conditions.
The mining argument is a nonsense argument.
Sorry mate, what's your first hand experience here? I work in indigenous youth work, and I can tell you we are having a lot of success having kids who have left country, got into trouble being sent back to community to straighten out.
They are not all inhumane squallers, infact I'd go as far as to say most are not. They are not the ritz, but people are happy living there.
I'm telling you the answer is sustainability. They can be powered from renewables.
You can't look at this issue without recognising that many of these remote communities are unmitigated social disasters. All quality of life markers are incredibly low in these communities despite an average of $80k spent per person annually. Alcoholism, sexual abuse of minors, literacy and life expectancy are all big issues that successive governments have been unable to address.
I'm not sure that closing these communities is the best way of tackling these problems, but something has to be done. In particular, allowing children to be raised in such conditions is inhumane. I can understand why some would think moving residents to locations closer to government resources (eg. health and education) would in some way improve the lot of people living in remote communities, but equally I can understand that many residents would be rightfully upset at having their homes taken away.
Honestly I don't know what the best course of action is. But I do know that allowing the cycle of poverty to continue without some change in strategy is unacceptable. That we have people living in third world conditions in this country is a national disgrace.
I'm not sure where you are getting your info from but a lot of that is way off the mark. For starters these issues are not nearly as wide spread as they are made out to be in the media, alcoholism is a problem, and the vast majority of problems in those communities stem from that. There are hotspots for that though, Northern WA is really bad, but is improving some great programs being run out there.
From a cost perspective, sustainability is key. Renewable infrastructure for energy would be amazing. Southern NT health are working very hard to get that up and running.
Closing them would result in 2 outcomes,
Half the population as said before would become refugee in their own country, the other would stay and probably die.
I'm telling you the answer is sustainability. They can be powered from renewables.
So, basically land locked boat people. Now I understand .... they are just turning back the boats.
Windy_Dill May 5, 2015, 9:53am #30
It's a really difficult one, weighing up the importance of the people's
What part of that is way off the mark? All of those issues have been widely recognised as key problems, and are statistically verifiable.
I'm not saying that closing down remote communities is the answer. I honestly don't know what the solution is for those living in poverty in remote communities.
tinhillterror May 5, 2015, 9:58am #31
For starters, the child abuse claims that partly led to the Nt intervention (under Howard?) were proven to be false, according to the article.
benfti May 5, 2015, 10:06am #32
It's a really difficult one, weighing up the importance of the people's
That you inferred this was the issue with all of them. It's not
Windy_Dill May 5, 2015, 10:16am #33
I said "many" of these communities have these issues.
There have been quite a few reports that show that sexual abuse of minors is chronically under-reported (due to many reasons), and is endemic is some communities. Pretending it isn't a problem does no one any favours.
And again, I'm not saying that closing down remote communities is the answer to this issue and others, or that I have any answers myself. But these issues need to be addressed even if they are uncomfortable topics to deal with.
JBOMBER May 5, 2015, 2:05pm #35
Going off that, I think we need to shut down Dandenong.
Now there's a good idea!
Ben, can I just clarify, are you saying that the people living in these communities couldn't survive without Gvt intervention so any idea of an actual traditional lifestyle isn't possible? I thought that was what was being sought, some form of autonomy. Is this related to the actual land not being able to provide, loss of traditional skills or is it an adoption & therefore reliance on assistance that would be very difficult to break? I guess what I'm asking is, do the people in these communities want a traditional life with its pro & cons or do they want to adopt at least some "modern" (for want of a better term) concepts?
benfti May 5, 2015, 2:16pm #36
Some modern concepts but to be able to maintain their culture. By that I mean power, waste management, medical services and education.
Autonomy is key, so is sustainability.
free_spirit May 5, 2015, 3:43pm #37
basically seeking a version of their culture that might have existed if anglo types had not tried to erradicate them for 150 years or so?
What might have happened if europeans rocked up in the late 1700's and treated them with respect and like human beings right from the start?
"grr that's ridiculous they either have to go back to no pants and sharp sticks or all get law degrees and want to drive porches! How can they acknowledge the reality of european contact 200 years ago and yet not want to assimilate into the culture that killed 90% of them and then tried social experiments get rid of the remainder? And now they want govt. assistance to stay on land that mining companies will pay the government to use? Why won't they just stop being problematic and start being profitable?!?!"
Henry_s_Angry_Pills May 6, 2015, 12:03am #38
Is that relevant?
I mean you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
The indigenous peoples have copped probably the worse the West has to offer (awful diet, leading to diabetes and other lifestyle diseases, actual introduced diseases, destruction of social structures and continuity through stolen generation / being moved off the land / our destruction of habitat & introduction of pests which impact native food sources & climate change / organised warfare, and of course alcohol and other drugs).
You can't just take that back, now, and cut the power lines.
If you could, sure, turn back the clock to 1765 & some might go back to full traditional living off the land might be a viable thing, but we can't do that.
free_spirit May 6, 2015, 12:11am #39
you forgot the original near genocide of 90 percent of the population and special dispensation to keep opium legal in australia long after it was banned in the rest of the empire so that the indigenous workers could be kept manageable.
IceTemple May 6, 2015, 12:18am #40
We do have a very dark* history in our treatment of Indigenous Australians.

Q: How to go to N-th file as described in the man file for less I love using less to browse files. I often like to move through multiple files.
In the man file it says that one can move N files forward:
:n     Examine the next file (from the list of files given in the command line).  If a number N
       is specified, the N-th next file is examined.

How do I specify this number N to move to the N-th next file? I've tried everything but couldn't figure it out.

A: As described in these answers on the StackExchange network:

The number must be entered before the command; to skip two files, press 3:n followed by Enter.
https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/676818/377222

Another useful answer https://superuser.com/a/1254274/1056672

Note: you actually have to type the : for these commands (even though there is a colon visible already).
:n jump to next file
:p jump to previous file
:x jump to first file

3:n jump 3 files ahead
3:p jump 3 files back
3:x jump to 3rd file

:f print current file name/info (helpful if you forget where you are)

Eyeing sleepy office workers, China's 'sharing economy' opens nap capsules
A woman's shoes are placed outside a capsule bed unit at Xiangshui Space during lunch break in Beijing's Zhongguancun area, China July 11, 2017. REUTERS/Jason Lee
BEIJING (Reuters) - For China's sleep-deprived white-collar workers needing a place for a nap, a booming "sharing economy" offering a growing range of services has come up with a cheap, mobile-friendly solution: capsule hotels.
With an easy phone scan, customers can book a nap in a sleek white capsule - designed to look like a space pod - for just 10 yuan ($1.50) for half an hour during the mid-day rush.
The rate drops to only 6 yuan at other times.
"It's really meeting a rigid demand as many professionals have a difficult time finding a nice private place to nap," said Han Yue, operations manager at Xiangshui Space, a Beijing-based start-up which launched the services in Beijing in May and has since opened up in Shanghai and Chengdu.
Han said her capsules were different to Japan's capsule hotels, because she was targeting a different type of customer, those looking for a quick nap, not a full night of sleep.
The company plans to extend to cities such as Qingdao, Nanjing and Shenzhen by the end of July or early August, she said.
China's rapidly expanding "sharing economy", exemplified by the success of bike-sharing companies such as Mobike and Ofo, has inspired a wave of "sharing" enterprises backed by a funding frenzy powered by so-called angel investors and venture capital firms.
China's "sharing economy" is expected to grow about 40 percent this year to 4.83 trillion yuan ($705 billion). By 2020, it could account for a tenth of gross domestic product.

Mission Yangtze / Ash Dykes
Dykes Races to "More Tropical" Yunnan Province
Dykes has now crossed Sichuan's southern border into Yunnan Province and emphasizes how much the climate, feeling, aesthetic and food has changed to match a "more tropical environment". He rejoices that he has finally left the 13,000ft-plus, below-freezing regions in which he could not feel his gloved hands when packing his tent. He says that the high altitude portion of the journey has caused him to lose 9lbs.
He claims that where he is now, below about 10,000 feet, temperatures have warmed to around 59-68°F. He is relieved he has made it out of 'bear country' so that bears are no longer a threat. He says he sees a lot fewer yak, and instead more cows, spiders, snakes and monkeys.
And he is also happy that he has moved on from a region where the foods were mostly starchy, fatty, plain and stodgy to where foods consist of lots of fruits and vegetables.
The scenery around the Yangtze in Yunnan province is also gorgeous with vistas no longer blocked by mountains, and houses with stylized, ornate roofing.
One of the reasons Dykes has been making such good progress is that, particularly in Sichuan, he pushed himself to achieve 40-mile/12-hour walking days. The most recent guide, Alex, claimed that he was in too much pain to continue on. Dykes is now walking alone.

From the high mountain enclaves to the megalopolises of China's eastern seaboard, Dykes plans to engage with the local culture, including participating in rituals and eating exotic food. He also plans to impart his knowledge about clean water and the dangers of plastic pollution to local communities.
