Future Shock: An Israel Without Scientists or Engineers
A damning new report highlights the extent to which the Haredim pose a threat to the country's economy in decades to come.

With the exception of a few sourpusses like George Orwell, we usually envision the future as a time of technological and material progress. Sometimes even intellectual or spiritual advancement too. We'll all have a Google Glass perched on our nose, travel in clean and quiet electric cars, live longer and healthier lives, and have robots to do the grunt work.
Drafting Haredim is good, finding them jobs is better

Is that a tech bubble I see?

Israel's U.S. aid addiction: Time for rehab
Even in our skeptical age, with its concerns about the weapons of mass destruction, alienation and global warming that technology has wrought, most people still believe that geeks, engineers and scientists will change the world – and for the better. Even Orwell didn't imagine his dystopian future to be a step back to the century before. In 1984, Big Brother and his minions make good use of technology, albeit employed chiefly for repression and war.
But that, of course, assumes there are enough geeks, engineers and scientists to conceive, design and construct all this wonderful technology.
What will Israel look like in half a century? The knee-jerk response is to imagine we'll be Startup Nation on steroids. We'll just keep turning out innovative new technology using the same yiddishe kop, entrepreneurial drive and creative problem-solving as we have over the past 20 years.
But, unless we can change it, the reality is that the Israel of 2064 won't look like the high-tech centers of Kiryat Atidim or Herzliya Pituah, with their startup companies and young entrepreneurs. It will look more like Geula, with its yeshivot and kollels. De rigueur dress won't be a wearable computer but a shtreimel and black stockings.
The rapid growth of Israel's Haredi population has been well-documented for years. But in its State of the Nation report issued last week, the Taub Center for Social Policy Studies in Israel illustrates the extent of the problem in stark terms, with page after page of graphs and terse commentary. Worryingly, it shows that the progress supposedly being made to integrate Israel's ultra-Orthodox into the labor market is not going nearly as well as we may have assumed.
Gemara doesn't teach driving
Let's start with the situation as it is now, which is bad enough. The rest of Israel is working more, with the percentage of the adult population either holding a job or actively seeking one rising from 58% in1999 to nearly 64% in 2012, the Taub Center report shows (it has, in fact risen even further since then, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics).
Among Haredi men, the so-called labor force participation rate is not only much lower for the general population, it is especially low for people in the prime work years, and has declined since 1999.
Among Haredi men age 35-54 – the prime working ages – the percentage not working at all has grown more than threefold since 1979, to more than 52% in 2011. Among those working, huge numbers are working in education (21.5%, a 50% increase from 1979) and far fewer in other sectors of the economy – just 26.2% in 2011, compared with 70.3% in 1979.
For Haredi males age 25 to 34, the labor force participation rate now is not much higher than for Haredi men age 65 to 74, i.e., pensioners.
Teaching is productive work, too. Indeed, at its best, it is an investment in the country's future. But, of course, these Haredi men are not equipping their young students with skills in the math, science or English they will need to become economically productive members of society in the future.
Whatever value there might be to the Gemara study they specialize in, it does not make you a better engineer, bus driver or accountant.
Fewer Haredi men than ever are getting anything approaching a secular education. Among men ages 35 to 54, the percentage with a primary education or less rose to 47% in 2012, from 31.3% 10 years earlier.
Those with a secondary education who've completed the bagrut (matriculation exam) fell to 16.2%, from 25.6% a decade before, and those with a degree from an institution of higher education dropped to 16%, from 24%.
Instead, more and more of them are getting their education at a yeshiva gedolah or kollel: Among the oldest men, just 56% studied at one, with the rate rising among younger and younger men, reaching 90.2% among the youngest cohort of 25-34.
Less are getting economically appropriate education
The popular notion that, under economic pressure, the grip of the yeshiva-centered world is gradually loosening is not borne out by the numbers. The Haredi population is growing so quickly that more of them are filling up college lecture halls, but even more are filling up the batei midrash.
The failure to get an economically appropriate education is only one facet of the problem. Poverty also serves to isolate and hold back the integration of the ultra-Orthodox into mainstream Israel.
The rate of poverty is high enough in Israel as it is, but among Haredi households it is much higher still and has grown sharply in the two decades to 2011 from 44% to 57%, even after taking into account government help.
Haredi families are forgoing basic needs such as telephone or electricity, medical care and even food, which hardly lays the groundwork for a promising future for their young, according to a CBS survey.
The problems of the Haredim are no longer just their own. They are not a small, isolated community we can let freely pursue their own lifestyle, as David Ben-Gurion related to them when he exempted their young men from the draft 60 years ago. Today they account for maybe 10% of Israel's total population, but if school enrolments are any guide to the future, they will be close to twice that in another generation.
The Taub Center notes that among elementary school-age children, those in Haredi schools account for 18.6% of the total. That is up five percentage points in just 13 years.
"A large share of these children are not even studying basic subjects," the Taub report notes, referring not just to the ultra-Orthodox young but to Israeli Arabs, who are also (albeit for every different reasons) receiving an inferior education that similarly puts the economy at risk. "Children receiving an education below developing world levels will have major problems contending with the needs of a First World economy," the report warns.
This is not meant to be an anti-Haredi screed – a warning that we are doomed to be overrun by people who don't share our values and lifestyle. But it is a very clear warning that Israel can't exist if too few of us are producing the skilled labor required for a thriving and advanced economy.
It poses not only a risk to Startup Nation, but also to the ability of the country to produce goods and services at the level of a developed economy, and even risks our national security.

, conocido en español como Yona, princesa del amanecer, es un manga japonés escrito e ilustrado por Mizuho Kusanagi, serializado en la revista Hana to Yume de Hakusensha desde agosto de 2009 hasta la actualidad. Una serie de anime basada en el manga, producida por Studio Pierrot inició el 7 de octubre de 2014, y finalizó el 24 de marzo de 2015. Dicha adaptación incluyó las voces del reparto del CD Drama, así como nuevos miembros de elenco.

Argumento

La historia se desarrolla en torno a Yona, la única princesa del Reino de Kouka, y como tal lleva una vida lujosa y sin preocupaciones dentro del castillo Hiryuu. Lo tiene todo: las mejores ropas y joyas, la más deliciosa comida, su padre el Emperador Il quien la adora, y a su guapo primo Soo-won, del que está enamorada. Ella cree que su vida sería perfecta si tan solo su cabello no fuera tan rojo y rebelde, y si su guardaespaldas Hak dejara de molestarla tanto. Sin embargo, este tranquilo estilo de vida llega a su fin el día en que Yona es traicionada por una de las personas que más confiaba. Una traición que hará añicos todos sus sueños y que la obligará a huir de su propio hogar. Con sólo una leyenda antigua para guiarla, se embarca en un viaje junto a Hak para encontrar a los legendarios dragones reencarnados para sobrevivir y salvar el Reino de Kouka. Esta aventura le enseñara valiosas lecciones a Yona pues conocerá frente a frente la dura realidad de su reino.

Personajes

Ella es la protagonista principal de la serie. Yona es la única princesa del Reino de Kouka. Su madre murió a manos de unos traidores cuando era joven, dejándole solamente a su padre el rey Il, y a sus amigos Hak y Soo-won. Al ser una princesa, era inicialmente dependiente, mimada e ingenua. Sin embargo, después de la muerte de su padre y la traición de uno de sus seres más queridos, decidió ser más independiente y convertirse en lo suficientemente fuerte como para luchar y protegerse. Como tal, le pidió a Hak que le enseñara a pelear. Utiliza principalmente el arco y la flecha en combate, y más tarde aprende a manejar una espada. Aunque en un principio era reacia a matar, finalmente superó esta vacilación durante la batalla contra Kum-ji.

Ella es la reencarnación de Hiryuu, el primer rey del Reino de Kouka, que también tenía el pelo rojo. Debido a esto, la sangre de los cuatro dragones legendarios reaccionaría al momento en que estuvieran ante ella. Yona viaja por todo el reino para encontrarlos, así como para conocer su pueblo y protegerlos en secreto.  Aunque Yona no puede perdonar a su traidor, una parte de ella todavía lo ama y todavía mantiene la horquilla que él le regaló. Con el tiempo, sin embargo, parece haber desarrollado sentimientos por Hak.

,  (joven)
Él es el amigo de la infancia de Yona y su guardaespaldas, así como el exgeneral de la tribu del viento. Se le conoce como "la Bestia del Trueno" (Raiju) debido a sus habilidades de lucha asombrosas, lo que le valió el título del soldado más fuerte en el Reino de Kouka. Su talento ya había sido reconocido desde que tenía trece años y fue la primera persona a convertirse en un general a una edad tan joven. Era huérfano, por lo que fue adoptado por Son Mundok (anterior general de la tribu del viento) como su nieto.

Hak generalmente es tranquilo y despreocupado, y suele burlarse de Yona, pero se preocupa profundamente por ella y se comprometió a protegerla a toda costa. Era un buen amigo de Soo-Won, y quería que viviera muy feliz junto a Yona. Esta completamente enamorado de Yona. Pero cuando Soo-Won traicionó a la familia real sólo se abstuvo de matarlo porque Yona se lo pidió. En combate, Hak utiliza un Hsu Quandao como su arma principal.

,  (niño)
Él es el primo de Yona, así como su primer amor; hijo del fallecido general Yu-Hon. En su primera aparición se muestra como alguien amable, alegre y algo torpe. Frente a las personas, Soo-Won mantiene esta personalidad, ocultando su gran inteligencia y astucia con una mirada torpeDespués la muerte de la madre de Yona, Soo-won fue quien la animó y prometió estar a su lado en lugar de su madre. También era el mejor amigo de Hak. El padre de Soo-won fue asesinado por el Rey Il (aunque públicamente se dijo que murió debido a un accidente). Esto lleva Soo-Won conspirar con la Tribu Fuego, matar al rey, y apoderarse del trono. Con Rey Il muerto, y Yona desaparecida, Soo-won se corona como nuevo rey.

Era el guardián del sumo sacerdote, Ik-Soo. Él ayuda a Yona y Hak luego de caer por un acantilado, posteriormente los acompaña en su búsqueda de los cuatro dragones guerreros, siendo la primera persona que se une a ellos en su viaje. Es muy inteligente y trabajador. Tiene una gran cantidad de conocimientos en medicina, es un gran cocinero, es capaz de memorizar libros enteros e incluso puede crear explosivos. Su sueño es viajar por el mundo y leer todos los libros que existan. Suele autoproclamarse como "chico guapo".

,  (niño)
Es el actual Hakuryuu (dragón blanco) y uno de los guerreros dragones. Fue el primero de los guerreros en aliarse a Yona y Hak y acompañarlos en su viaje. Debido al poder del dragón su mano derecha es mucho más grande que una normal, blanca y escamada, con el poder de 10 hombres. Como fue criado siendo venerado y mimado en el pueblo Hakuryuu, Kija puede ser bastante ingenuo acerca de asuntos del mundo real. Aprecia estar limpio, bien alimentado y bien descansado. Odia a los insectos. En uno de los capítulos del manga al probar una poción de amor "procedente de una de sus escamas" el revela sus verdaderos sentimientos por Yona diciendo que siente celos por Haku.

,  (niño)
Es el actual Seiryuu, (dragón azul)y uno de los cuatro dragones guerreros. Es el segundo de los dragones en aliarse a Yona. El poder del dragón se encuentra en sus ojos, los cuales son de un intenso color dorado. Estos tienen la capacidad de observar a largas distancias y paralizar a la gente al mirarlos directamente, lo que puede llegar a ser fatal. Debido a que creció completamente aislado de las personas, Shin-Ah no posee habilidades sociales, convirtiéndolo en alguien callado y poco comunicativo. Teme usar sus poderes por miedo a perjudicar a las personas, por lo que lo considera "maldito". Debido a esto casi nunca se saca su máscara, por miedo a que si lo miran a los ojos sean heridos por sus poderes.  Antes de conocer a Yona no tenía nombre. Shin-Ah significa "Luz de luna" (según la mangaka en el idioma de Kouka). Tiene una ardilla de mascota, a la que llamó Ao por su tutor, el Seiryuu anterior.

Es el actual Ryokuryuu (dragón verde). Anteriormente fue un miembro de la tripulación de piratas de Gi-Gan. El poder del dragón se encuentra en su pierna derecha, con la cual puede dar fuertes patadas y grandes saltos (lo que hace que parezca que puede volar).

Jae-Ha es un hombre observador, confiado, persistente y ama la belleza. Valora la libertad más que nada, particularidad que se debe al trato que recibió cuando aún vivía en su aldea. Su opinión de su condición como dragón es el de una privación a su libertad. Pensaba ignorar su relación con Hiryuu y los dragones, por lo que se esconde de ellos cuando siente su presencia, pero al conocer a Yona cambia sus pensamientos. Al notar los sentimientos de Hak, actúa como un "puente" en su relación con Yona, llegando él mismo a tener sentimientos por ella.
Es la cuarta persona en unirse al grupo.

Es el Ouryuu (dragón amarillo) original y uno de los dragones guerreros. Fue el último del grupo en aliarse a Yona, además de no considerarla como a su "maestra" como los demás dragones. Anteriormente sirvió al rey Hiryuu junto a los Dragones Originales. Es inmortal. El poder del dragón hizo su cuerpo indestructible. No importa cuantas veces intenten matarlo, cortarlo o descuartizarlo, no funcionará, y cuanto mayor sea el número de cortes o heridas que recibe en su cuerpo, este se vuelve más duro, hasta el punto de no poder ser atravesado o cortado. Dicha resistencia en su cuerpo es comparado con el acero. Tiene una increíble capacidad de regeneración. Zeno habla de sí mismo en tercera persona para no olvidar su nombre. A pesar de su edad biológica, es alegre y despreocupado. Pero es muy perceptivo y sabe más de lo que está dispuesto a contar.

'Baby, It's Cold Outside' composer's daughter speaks out, argues it's not 'a date rape song'
Hannah Yasharoff
The "Baby, It's Cold Outside" controversy continues.
The daughter of the song's original composer is speaking out against critics of the song, arguing that her father, Frank Loesser, had no ill intentions when writing it.
"Bill Cosby ruined it for everybody," Susan Loesser, 74, told NBC News on Thursday. "Way before #MeToo, I would hear from time to time people call it a date rape song. I would get annoyed because it's a song my father wrote for him and my mother to sing at parties. But ever since Cosby was accused of drugging women, I hear the date rape thing all the time."
The 1944 holiday song has become increasingly controversial in the past few years. Debate sparked again last week, after a radio station in Cleveland announced they would no longer play it and several other stations around the country followed suit.
Some argue the lyrics have not aged well in the aftermath of #MeToo, like the woman telling the man "no, no, no" and asking "what's in this drink?"
Loesser said her father would have been "furious" at the radio stations' decision.
"I think it would be good if people looked at the song in the context of the time," she said. "People used to say 'what's in this drink' as a joke. You know, 'this drink is going straight to my head so what's in this drink?' Back then it didn't mean you drugged me."

More:Here are the lyrics to 'Baby, It's Cold Outside,' the Christmas song facing a radio ban
"Saturday Night Live" previously linked the song to Cosby in a December 2015 episode that aired just days before the comedian, accused by 60 women of drugging and assaulting them, was charged with criminal sexual assault. The sketch depicts Cosby (Kenan Thompson) in one of his signature sweaters singing "Baby It's Cold Outside" while sitting with a woman on a couch.
"Say, what's in this drink?" asks the woman, played by Tina Fey.
"Oh, well there's vitamins for when you're, like, bummed out about your career," Thompson's character explains. "Or just to make you smile and help you reach your goals."
"Yeah, something's up with that," she counters, before handing him her drink and walking out.

Description These recordings are of an interview with James C. McCoy which took place in 1978. McCoy was born in 1901 and grew up in Indiana. After working for General Electric Company in Fort Wayne, McCoy was stationed in Hawaii where he later met his wife. They moved to the Los Angeles area in 1925. McCoy later got a job at the Upland Lemon Growers and in 1935 became a Zanjero for the San Antonio Water Company. McCoy defines the term Zanjero as "water-master." McCoy recounted a time when a customer stole water while he was Zanjero. McCoy also discussed the flood of 1938 and recounted the damage it did to the community and how he dealt with the flooding as Zanjero. McCoy also reflected on the urbanization of the area and particularly the effect this had on Native Americans in the area. He also recounted his connection to the Navajo reservation, how often he visited, the work he did there, and the trips he made there. He then went on to discuss how his Zanjero work was structured throughout the seasons. He also described how he worked with other people to maintain steady supply of water. In addition, he discussed how the Great Depression affected the area, his family, and his friends. Then McCoy went on to discuss life in Upland, the grading of lemons, the packing and shipping houses, and fertilizer. McCoy sold his citrus grove in 1938 and shared some of the tools he used at the grove with the Chaffey Library.

At a press conference on April 5th, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) confirmed that the head of the National Guard command will be an active military officer whose name will be announced in the near future, as well as that of the people who will form the General Staff of the new security corps, which will also be composed of representatives of the Federal Police, the Navy and the Army.
With this, the request of the head of the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH in its Spanish acronym), Luis Raul Gonzalez Perez, that the command be civil, a request which echoes the demands of broad sectors of society, who consider the strategies of security focused on militarization have not worked.
For her part, the Secretary of the Interior, Olga Sanchez Cordero said that, "we have a problem of violence and security in our country that we are committed, at least, to try to solve efficiently." She emphasized that the new strategy will focus on guaranteeing security to the population and no longer on specific operations against a cartel.
They asked President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) to fulfill his campaign promises and "no longer insist on militarizing the country" by stressing that the indications sent by the Federal Government point towards the construction of a military body. They recalled in particular that as recently as March 27th, AMLO declared that it was not ruled out that the National Guard should have as a commander an active member of the military.
"It would be a militarization that does not dare to speak its name, a simulation and a betrayal of the meaning of the reform approved by Congress … it should already be clear that military structures have not served or will serve to address situations of public insecurity, especially when More than 90% of crimes committed in the country are not federal, but common law", they said.
"It would also be an attack against the project of a democratic country that strengthens the rule of law and that places the defense of human rights as the highest priority", they said.
"Mr. President, fulfill what you promised. No longer insist on militarizing the country, build a truly civil Guard, do not destroy the Federal Police and promote the development of our local police", they concluded.
On the other hand, on April 3rd, Luis Raul Gonzalez Perez, president of the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH in its Spanish acronym), met with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and also urged that the command of the National Guard be civil.
After the modifications of the Senate, it was established that the National Guard would be a body with civilian control, with a term of five years to finalize its formation, during which the participation of the Armed Forces in public security tasks will be maintained. This new security force will have military discipline and training, and should have 150 thousand elements at the end of the current six-year term of office.
The discussion was passed on to local congresses given that the approval of at least 17 of them will be required before it can be enacted.

Carter Wilkie on "Keeping the Farm in 'Farm Coast'"
Little Compton Historical Society > Exhibits > Everyone Was a Farmer > Carter Wilkie on "Keeping the Farm in 'Farm Coast'"
On Wednesday, August 11, the Little Compton Historical Society asked five people to speak at their annual meeting about farming in Little Compton from their perspectives as farmers or part-time farmers. As the newest of the bunch, Carter Wilkie focused his five-minute talk on whether farming has a future in Little Compton. Here is what he shared:
Will today's generation of farmers in Little Compton go into the history books as our last? Consider the implications of that and let that sink in for a moment.
Travel New England's coastline – all 556 miles of it – and you will see many coastal communities. Some even rival Little Compton for unspoiled beauty. But what makes Little Compton unique among them is the fact that we are one of the last coastal farming communities left in Southern New England. One of the last places in New England outside of the state of Maine where farming and sailing can be seen in the same view.
Farming is core to this town's identity. Little Compton would not be Little Compton without farming in Little Compton. Last year, during the election for Town Council, just about every candidate from every political persuasion pledged allegiance to the importance of preserving Little Compton's rural character. In our polarized political era, it was one thing that everyone here could agree on.
Over the last 35 years, the Little Compton Agricultural Conservancy Trust has spent $26 million of taxpayers' money (most of it paid by people who were new to town) to protect more than 2,000 acres of farmland. That's a remarkable, unique achievement for which we should all be thankful. But by itself, it doesn't guarantee a future of farming in Little Compton.
In the 1970s and 80s, I went to school in one of the most beautiful rural locales in the East: the rolling hills of the Brandywine Valley at the northern tip of Delaware. Over the past 50 years, a lot of land in that part of the country has been protected by conservationists and land trusts, but nobody thought to preserve the farming. Now it's gone. And the region's rural character is gone with it.
When the number of farms in a location falls below a minimum threshold, the ecosystem of mutual support for farming dies. Soon, there aren't enough farms to keep the feed store in operation. Then next to go is the one the guy in town who can repair any type of farm machinery. Eventually, there is no one left around with the equipment or the skills to cut and bale hay for the last remaining holdouts who still raise horses as lawn ornaments.
The Little Compton Historical Society's new exhibit, "Everyone Was a Farmer" reminds everyone who is not a farmer just how critical farmers and farming are to the rural character of this coastal community. You can't preserve rural character without rural characters.
Take the farmer off the land and farmland ceases to be farmland. If neglected, it quickly gets obscured by a tangle of invasive vines as fields revert to woodland. Then watch as Little Compton slowly loses its traditional landscape pattern of open farm fields bounded by stonewalls.
Do we have a critical mass of farming for Little Compton's identity as a coastal farming community to survive well into the 21st century? I'd say we are at a tipping point that can go in either direction. From my perspective, farming in Little Compton today is like a slowly burning fire that looks quaint and generates a little comfort but is at risk of burning itself out — unless we find a way to throw some new logs on the fire.
What will it take to do that here? I'd like to suggest four things:
First, there needs to be a shared vision of the role of farming in Little Compton's future and agreement in the town's next comprehensive plan on what it will take to preserve farming in this community.
We can learn from the Aquidneck Land Trust, which has surveyed their entire island for where clusters of farming should be concentrated in the years ahead, to make sure farming maintains critical mass and density to survive. Their plan prioritizes which privately owned farm parcels deserve funding for preservation, according to explicit criteria agreed upon in advance and published for all to see. Another benefit of putting a plan in writing is how it can minimize future land use disputes between abutters when everyone knows what to expect.
Second, we need to recruit some of the next generation of farmers. Across Rhode Island, nearly half of new farmers entering farming today did not inherit farmland from their family. Like my youngest daughter who is about to enter college to major in sustainable agriculture, they are eager young people searching for good land to farm, in a good climate with a long growing season, near dense urban markets like Providence and Boston. Little Compton has all that in abundance. There is no shortage of budding farmers who would jump at the chance to farm here, following in the tradition of first-generation Portuguese farmers who arrived in the 19th century to start a new life and put down roots and contribute to the life of this community.
Over the last eight years, the Westport Land Conservancy Trust has worked with the Town if Westport to establish four new farm enterprises on conserved farmland. One of them produces farmstead cheese from a herd of dairy goats. Another plans to grow blueberries in the South Coast's highly acidic soil . All four of these farm properties will be back on the tax rolls, cared for by private owners and no longer maintained at town expense. Because each of these land conservation deals were funded with public tax dollars, the farmers were selected through an open and transparent Request for Proposals process that anyone could enter. Pre-announced selection criteria allowed WLCT to choose the best proposal and who would be the best steward of the land with the best farming model that would be welcomed by the town. If Little Compton did that at the same rate of one new farm enterprise every two years, we could see five new farms here by end of the decade.
Third, this town has to address where a young farm couple is going to live in a community with few starter homes. To preserve farmland as farmland, we need to make allowance for where a farmer can live on it in the future.
In the Hudson Valley of New York – another beautiful locale much desired by summer people, where real estate is every bit as expensive as here – towns will allow a farm family to build a live/work space that looks like a traditional, two-story barn, with work space on the first floor (for farm equipment, or produce washing stations, or meat lockers) and living space upstairs. A mixed-use structure isn't permitted under Little Compton's zoning code, even though one could design it to look like a barn that has always been here. At the same time, ironically, Little Compton's zoning code will permit someone to build a one-story suburban style ranch house out of brick on a two-acre suburban lot. Maybe it's time to reexamine Little Compton's zoning to see how friendly it really is to "rural character."
Fourth, we can encourage greater consumer demand for locally produced farm products. Where you spend your household's food budget shapes what the landscape around you is going to look like. The more produce, eggs, honey, jam, cheese, meat, flowers and landscape plants and trees that you can buy from your neighbors influences how many nearby farms can remain farms.
With the onset of climate change and the increased frequency of catastrophic weather events (droughts, wildfires, etc.) we may have to start asking ourselves how long can we rely on California's Central Valley to grow all our food? To survive in a time when extreme weather events become routine, New Englanders may one day require farming skills on a scale that we can't even imagine today. No farms, no food.
I don't know what the future holds , but I do know this: the future of farming in Little Compton will be different from what we all grew up with. As this history exhibit shows, that's been true here for generations, with farming always adapting to changing market conditions from one generation to the next. With the size of land holdings small in Rhode Island, that suggests a future of fewer commodities produced in monocultures and sold through middlemen who take the bulk of profits. It means more profitable farm sales direct to consumer. And more farm to table, championed by chefs in Providence and Boston who want to educate their customers about the merits of locally produced food.
Will today's generation of farmers in Little Compton be our last? Communities have choices. They can accept the future they get handed to them by somebody else. Or they can work together to create the future they want. What story this exhibit on farming tells to future generations is really up to you and what you decide to do today.

Super simple.
Our State-wide Staff Energy
Conservation Campaign
The Office of Public Works (OPW) has one of the largest and most diverse property portfolios in Ireland, including Government offices, Garda stations and historic buildings such as Dublin Castle and the Customs House.
The OPW has been running a state-wide staff energy conservation campaign, entitled Optimising Power @ Work, in Central Government buildings since 2008. The core principle of Optimising Power @ Work is to intensively work with staff to encourage behavioural change with regard to energy usage, with the overall aim of identifying and eliminating energy wastage.
The programme in the Central Government buildings has achieved average annual savings of 21% across 275 participating buildings, making it the largest and most successful campaign of its kind in Ireland.
In 2014 Optimising Power @ Work was launched in the wider Public Sector. The campaign is available to all public sector organisations and is currently successfully operating in Hospitals, Universities, Institutes of Technology, Prisons and Local Authorities. If you are a Public Sector organisation and are interested in joining the campaign, please contact us.
The National Energy Efficiency Action Plan
"The Greenest Power is the Power you don't have to Produce."
Ireland's third National Energy Efficiency Action Plan reaffirmed Ireland's commitment to delivering a 20% reduction in energy demand across the whole of the economy by 2020, along with a 33% reduction in public sector energy use.
Hospitals switch off to tackle climate emergency
Eight hospitals nationwide took part in 'The BIG Switch Off' and demonstrated the positive impact individual actions can have in reducing healthcare's carbon footprint.
Over a period of just three days, the hospitals saved enough electricity to run 97 standard Irish homes for a month.
Unlocking the Potential of Behavioural Energy Efficiency
When tasked with improving the energy efficiency of a building, most engineers instinctively turn their thoughts towards refurbishment projects. However, there are clear benefits from starting with encouraging behavioural change of the building occupants, optimising the existing control systems and eliminating energy wastage.

Q: Intel icc breaks gcc with math.h on linux I installed Intel's compilers and applications bundled with their Parallel Studio the other day and I cannot compile without using icc. When using gcc, clang or mpicc, I get the following error:
In file included from z.main.c:13:0:
/opt/intel/include/math.h:29:3: error: #error "This Intel <math.h> is for
use with only the Intel compilers!"
# error "This Intel <math.h> is for use with only the Intel compilers!"
   ^
  main

Normally I have to link to the math.h library with -lm, and this works with other files. The other cases I've tested do not include mpi.h, if it matters.
I don't care to uninstall the intel compilers; I was hoping to fix whatever problems I have locally before moving to working remotely via ssh.
Update
I ran gcc fvm.c -c --trace -lm to see where it was looking for the math library. Here is the result:
gcc z.fvm.c -c --trace -lm

How can I tell gcc, mpicc where to look and ignore the Intel math library?
Thanks in advance.

A: Intel header are compatible, but a small modification is required.
First, you need to turn off the source of the error.
//#if !defined(__INTEL_COMPILER)
//# error "This Intel <math.h> is for use with only the Intel compilers!"
//#endif

Then you should include missing headers.
#include <features.h>

One among essentially the most widespread electrical wiring issues is regarding how to wire a change. Though working with switches at home is quite easy, wiring one particular may well not be that easy for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is definitely quite simple to wire. There are actually several types of switches, but for this example, let us say that you are setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an exceedingly popular change (plus the most basic).
You will find three colours of wires in the common single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and join them around the terminal screws - a single on top as well as other over the bottom screw on the switch. The white wire serves to be a supply of uninterrupted ability which is usually linked to a gentle coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the inexperienced wire for the ground screw of your change.
These ways would normally be sufficient to produce an average switch work without having a challenge. Nevertheless, in case you usually are not self-assured that you can accomplish the undertaking thoroughly and securely you much better allow the professionals get it done as a substitute. Just after all, there is a explanation why this activity is among the most frequent electrical wiring concerns requested by many people.
For many cause, the best way to wire a ceiling fan is likewise one of the most popular electrical wiring concerns. To simplify this activity, you can utilize a single switch for the single ceiling fan. To wire the fan, it really is simply a issue of connecting the black wire of your ceiling fan towards the black wire of the switch. If there is a lightweight, the blue wire ought to be connected into the black wire with the swap too.
You will find motives why these are generally essentially the most generally requested electrical wiring questions. 1, several assume it can be simple to accomplish, and two, they are the popular electrical responsibilities in your house. But then you certainly shouldn't set your basic safety at risk inside your objective to save cash. The stakes could even be a lot increased in the event you seek to lower your expenses and do an electrical wiring job devoid of sufficient expertise or working experience.


Let's face it: VoIP isn't exactly new, but IP telephony's readiness for enterprise consumption is a fairly recent development. When it first appeared on the Internet scene, VoIP offered the ability for people to make free long-distance calls over the Internet. In fact, products like Internet Phone came with substantial buzz about how they let in-laws with Microsoft Windows have half-duplex speakerphone conversations through their PCs over the Net.
Lack of interoperability, poor quality of service, and a drop in traditional long-distance calling rates ultimately killed the first generation of consumer VoIP software. The short-lived voice-over-Internet craze of the late 1990s died. VoIP is still what historians might call a disruptive technologyit is changing the status quobut as it becomes more standardized, quality-driven, and accepted, it also becomes a more sustaining technology, just as the PSTN has been for decades. In this regard, VoIP has proven much more valuable in the enterprise than in the home.
This chapter helps you define the business case for VoIP. It guides you through readying your network, and your business, for next -generation telephony. This chapter is aimed at people who are justifying VoIP adoption with the promise of lowering operating costs and making system users more productive. It helps project managers decide between VoIP standards and vendors at the outset of the project. If you're a technical type, one who doesn't care necessarily about the financial impact of the technology, you'll learn what IP telephony's implications are for your network infrastructure.
Network convergence can mean more than just voice applications: many are using packet-based solutions for video conferencing, instant messaging, and security/surveillance. For the balance of this chapter, as we talk about preparing for the converged network, we'll zoom in specifically on voice.

Divers Find Mysterious Safe of Ancient Ship "Re d'Italia"
By Vedran Pavlic 28 August 2018
The safe could be hiding millions in gold.
A diving team from Komiža, led by Lorenzo Marović and his son Andy, found a mysterious safe in the wreckage of the ship "Re d'Italia", which was sunk during the Battle of Vis in 1866, reports morski.hr on August 28, 2018.
According to historians, it is quite possible that the safe contains the gold which was allegedly meant to help put Dalmatia under the Italian authority. "We had to wait for 13 years to confirm this finding. We will surely have to wait now a certain time to find out what is in the safe. For now, we have received oral approval for further dives," said Andy.
Lorenzo discovered the exact position of the ship while searching for corals in 2005. The wreckage is located at the depth of 115 metres, 7 nautical miles north of Vis in the direction of Rogoznica. However, the discovery was accompanied by problems, primarily with future Culture Minister Jasen Mesić, who was at the time head of the Ministry of Culture's Conservation Department. He led a French-Croatian team which investigated the wreckage just days after Marović found the remains of the ship.
They launched a court dispute which Marović lost at the Split court, in a procedure which he still considers controversial. "The court has grossly violated my rights by not taking into account all the evidence I had about the discovery. That is precisely one of the reasons why we immediately publicly announced this discovery," said Marović.
A historical legend claims that the safe is filled with a certain amount of funds in the form of golden ducats, which were supposed to represent a basis for the opening of a banking system in Dalmatia that would serve to turn Dalmatians into Italians. Some people call it "silent colonization."
If the content of the safe is confirmed, Marović could receive a reward of 10 percent of the estimated value, which is potentially assessed in the tens of millions of euro.
"Nowadays, we, fortunately, have a full cooperation with the Conservation Office in Split. With regard to the value of the safe, it is difficult to estimate it. It is suspected to be around 250,000 Italian lira of the time. But the most important thing for me is to keep this discovery for our children. There are 391 souls which were lost on the ship and they want peace and quiet, but now we have a lot of commotion there from people diving.
Our sea is so rich. That can best be seen by a recent discovery of a ship full of amphorae near Pag! And what else does the sea hide?" concluded Marović.

Q: Replying "I'm sorry to hear that" when you're the one affected by bad news When searching for the phrase "I'm sorry to hear that" I can only find examples of it being used as a way to express condolences to someone:

Person A: "My goldfish died yesterday…"
  Person B: "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! How are you holding up?"

But is it also correct to use the phrase when both parties are equally affected by the bad news?:

Person A: "It's going to rain tomorrow, so we have to cancel our trip to the beach."
  Person B: "I'm sorry to hear that! Do you want to go visit the museum instead?"

And is it still correct when the person receiving the news has more reason to feel upset?:

Person A: "Unfortunately all of our flights are fully booked."
  Person B: "I'm sorry to hear that. I guess I'll just have to take the train instead."

A: Yes, it can be used in that context. It's more formal in that sort of situation, and usually conveys a sense of disapproval. Also wouldn't be used for very very bad news.


Shawn and Drew's 21 Steps to STOP Gambling System and Workbooks provide the step-by-step guidance you need to defeat your gambling addiction and restore a healthier, happier lifestyle.
The 21 Steps to stop gambling were originally created in 2002 by Shawn Jordan while building a foundation for his own recovery from his once serious gambling problem. Using insights, an introspective approach to writing, the help of an addictions counsellor, and the encouragement of his family's psychologist, the original manuscript for the 21 steps to recovery system was created.
From 2002 to 2007, the manuscript was converted into a comprehensive set of 21 workbooks and support system tailored to suit the 21 steps. The entire system now shares a collection of recovery-oriented wisdom offered by the writing, design, and editing team, which included a responsible gambler, several non-gamblers, and a diverse group of healthy and balanced thinkers, including many of Shawn's friends, family, and co-workers.
Shawn and Drew's 21 Steps to STOP Gambling Workbooks and System includes directions, recovery-oriented insights, and a comprehensive and detailed set of exercises to help guide people who are affected by gambling to lose their gambling related distractions and realize how to focus on living a full and enriching life, without the need to gamble.
With the helpful guidance of this "how to recover" system, it becomes possible to understand how to convert destructive thinking patterns and behaviours into productive activities and a healthy form of energy that can change how gambling is perceived and acted upon, by those who are adversely affected by the outcomes of gambling.
The workbooks offer information about problem gambling and its symptoms, so they also serve as an early warning system for responsible gamblers who might encounter trouble down the road.
As well, family, friends, and employers will benefit greatly when a problem gambler successfully navigates the road to recovery.
To understand how an individual step works, you can read the system's first step, entitled Admitting You Have a Problem.
When you realize the 21-Step System can help you and your household, you can obtain your edition through your Employee Family Assistance Program, 21 Steps Authorized distributor, or via online purchase through our GLOBAL distributor and support provider, Recovery & Beyond.
Why is the gambling age 21 and not younger?
A person under the age of 21 years shall not gamble.


My Facebook news feed was in overdrive yesterday with the passing of film critic Roger Ebert. An Urbana native, he maintained close ties to the community and sponsored an annual film festival that became the biggest event* in our twin cities.
I had the opportunity to meet Roger in person a couple of times, most recently in 2000 when we trekked up to Chicago to record an interview with him for the movie review show that I used to produce.
By that time Ebert had spent many hours in front of television cameras, and was, of course, entirely professional. As someone who grew up watching the original Sneak Previews on WTTW-TV, I found it impossible not to be awed.
A year or two after this interview, I began to be puzzled and annoyed by Ebert's reviews. He would fixate on picayunish flaws.** He would serve as an outlier on films as widely-praised as the 2009 Star Trek reboot and as thoroughly panned as Nicolas Cage's Knowing. And then there was his stubbornly ignorant stance on the question of whether video games could be considered art.
Of course, the reason that his opinions perturbed me far more than those of, say, Richard Roeper was the recognition that he was our preeminent film critic–arguably our preeminent critic, period. What he said mattered, even if I thought it was dead wrong.
And few people loved movies more, or did more to promote the appreciation of film, than did Roger Ebert. He might have hated, hated, hated certain films, but that burning rage was borne out of his beliefs that movies could and should be more. He will be missed.
Another great who passed on yesterday was a legend of the Golden and Silver Ages of comic books, penciller Carmine Infantino. His first story for DC Comics in 1947 introduced the Black Canary, a villainess who eventually became one of the industry's best-known superheroines.
But it was his work on the Silver Age version of The Flash that made his reputation. Infantino was superb at selling the incredible velocity of the crimebuster, depicting him as a series of red-and-yellow after-images.
Later he was the regular artist of Marvel's Star Wars comics, drawing most every issue during the years between the original film and the release of The Empire Strikes Back.
Infantino's death is the severing of one of the few remaining ties to comics' early days.
*The next Ebertfest is less than two weeks from now. No one has said whether they will continue beyond 2013, but I suspect that, given Roger's failing health, contingency plans must have been considered.
**Really, there were plenty of good reasons to dislike The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but Ebert's criticism was mostly about its inaccurate depiction of Venice. In a movie in which Mr. Hyde and Captain Nemo fight Professor Moriarty.


If you're in the market for a standard black tea, this is a fine choice.
I found the intensity of the tea to be fairly weak, though the tannins appear to be quite low which makes it easy to drink. From the reviews that I read prior to ordering, I expected at least a little more intensity. I'll try it as an iced tea to see if it is more appealing.
Java Blend makes the most wonderful iced tea. It is especially good when I brew it cold. Put about 1/2c-2/3 c of tea in a mason jar filled with cold water in the fridge over-night and in the morning pour through a filter of course and you will I have a great tasting iced tea concentrate.
I tried this tea as a sample and did a taste test with a Ceylon tea and two others. This one won because it's a robust yet balanced flavor, beautiful rich color, and has hints of warm spice before it finishes with a complex slight toasty taste. The flavor lingers on after the sip. It's very satisfying!
Better than Teavana at Starbucks!
I've been looking for some loose tea to use now that my Teavana store closed. I tried this and it is better than Teavana and the tea I get at Starbucks. I make a gallon at a time and I use 5 family sized bags of Lipton tea with one large tea ball (2.75 inch diameter) of loose tea. Steep for 5 min. I always use filtered water… Very important!!!
And I don't anything bad by utilitarian. It is an all around dependable black tea good for drinking black or with milk or iced.
Summer in a glass over ice!
I love this tea! I've been buying it for several years. It's hearty, GREAT iced, and more delicious with a slice of lemon. It makes my summer. It's a decent BOP and good hot with milk.
