Reader Renee sent this lovely pattern image to me — she's actually made it, and the pattern was her grandmother's.
"Make it in a jiffy — then simply slip it over your head, wrap the back to the front and button — you're set for a dozen chores in and out of doors. Carryall pockets are a handy addition. (A) Short cobbler's apron. (B) Coverall."
The only other one I found online is at … and it's $35.00. I would love to go find Renee's grandmother and tell her that this Saturday knock-around dress pattern now goes for $35. Worth every penny, really, but still!
The nice thing about this version (compared with the ) is that this one shouldn't have the skirt-riding-up problem that was reported. Oh, and it has POCKETS! Triangular ones!
Peggy very nicely sent me the link to , which is for the June-July 1955 issue of Vogue Pattern Book.
I used to collect these old pattern magazines until I realized that all they did was make me covet the patterns, which were then impossible to find. It's not like I could hie myself down to JoAnn's at the $3 Vogue Pattern sale and pick up a couple copies.
Sadly, the one on this page that I really like (4544, lower right hand corner) did not reveal itself to the Questing Robots of Google, nor was it available in the Hanging Gardens of eBay. And the couple others I looked at from the listing images were AWOL from those places, too.
Do you know what my favorite organizing principle is? (No, not "the pile", although if you've seen my office, that's an excellent guess.) My favorite organizing principle is "random".
Things are nice and tidy and predictable when they're in categories and folders (and, yes, piles) but I like to choose things arbitrarily. Pick the fourth restaurant on the list and eat there. Opt for the book with the most colors on the cover. Talk to the person carrying the largest bag.
Would someone please throw a party?
Seriously, would someone throw a party? I know at least five people who need an excuse to wear this dress. We may have to wait a while, because flocked gingham (flocked TAFFETA gingham) isn't really a late-July, early-August kind of thing, but still.
That last requirement is for the wearer, not the party … not everyone at the party has to wear red lipstick, although it wouldn't hurt. But seriously, that's it. How hard is that?
This dress is from seller Tori at , and it's a nice larger size … B42,W34!
This falls squarely under the category "What were they thinking?"
I mean, really. I can't imagine any sane woman buying this dress and expecting not to have to constantly, um, *refocus* the conversation. Or feeling comfortable wearing it any place where she might possibly encounter fourteen-year-old boys.
Of course, if you were of the right cup size to wear this dress sans support, you might enjoy a little bit of optical reinforcement. Maybe. Perhaps. It's a thought.
Aw, hell, who are we kidding? This dress is a train wreck. One caused by the engineer taking his eyes from the track, actually.
tipped me off that a bunch of eBay sellers are doing a special promo on the maxi-dress through August 8. The dress above is part of the promotion, and you can find other dresses by searching for the label TVMF ("The Vintage Maxi Factor").
Despite hardly ever wearing them, I *love* maxi-dresses. They're so hippie-glamorous. I feel that they should be worn at home, entertaining, with bare feet. There should be something jazzy playing on the stereo (or coming from your iPod), none of the seating should be more than eighteen inches off the floor, and all the drinks should be at least half ice.
All of which would explain why I hardly ever wear maxi-dresses, because all the above prerequisites are hardly ever met, at least for me. But maybe I should relax a few of those conditions, so I could snap up dresses like this. This one is COTTON (a lot of those maxi-dresses are synthetics, which I really don't like) and it's got such a great print! If only it weren't beige … I can't really wear beige, unless I want to practice looking naked and/or invisible. But if you had darker skin than mine (I will NOT say the dread word TAN) this would be gorgeous on you! And look both elegant and effortless at once.
And maybe your feet wouldn't HAVE to be bare … flat colorful sandals would work. No heels, though. Heels with a maxi-dress is Trying Too Hard.
This gorgeous maxi is from the eBay seller and is B38 … and in great condition! If you are looking for the perfect fancy beach party/casual outdoor wedding-guest dress for this summer, I think this is it.
Make sure you hold one of those froofy parasol-required drinks while wearing it, though. That's one condition I won't waive.
Remember the busy-day dress with the fancy pockets, the one I wrote about here? Well, I knew I'd written about it before, and there's the image up above (actual previous post is ).
The bodice on the busy-day dress is different, as I mashed up one from another pattern … .


Mr & Mrs Blog: I'm so blessed.
My Grandma gave me this beautiful antique planter. I love it a lot. It sits in the middle of my kitchen table and holds my other love.. blow pops ha ha. I thought about putting a fake plant in it but I needed something to store all my suckers and this worked perfectly.

V. Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
Conservation conflicts arise when natural-resource shortages develop in the face of steadily increasing demands from a growing human population. Controversy frequently surrounds how a resource should be used, or allocated, and for whom. For example, a river may supply water for agricultural irrigation, habitat for fish, and water-generated electricity for a factory. Farmers, fishers, and industry leader vie for unrestricted access to this river, but such freedom could destroy the resource, and conservation methods are necessary to protect the river for future use.
Conflicts worsen when a natural resource crosses political boundaries. For example, the headwaters, or source, of a major river may be located in a different country than the country through which the river flows. There is no guarantee that the river source will be protected to accommodate resource needs downstream. In addition, the way in which one natural resource is managed has a direct effect upon other natural resources. Cutting down a forest near a river, for instance, increases erosion, the wearing away of topsoil, and can lead to flooding. Eroded soil and silt cloud the river and adversely affect many organisms such as fish and important aquatic plants that require clean, clear freshwater for survival.
26. What does "supply"in line 3 mean?
A. cover
B. provide
C. make up for
D. compensate for
27.Which word in the reading means "living or growing in, or relating to water" ?
A. agriculture
B. major
C. fresh
D. aquatic
28.When do conflicts get worse ?
A. when natural-resource shortages increase in the features of gradually increasing demands from a rising human population.
B. when a natural resource crosses political borders
C. when freedom could destroy the resource.
D. when eroded soil and silt cloud affect many organisms.
29.Which sentence below is NOT correct?
A. Argument often surrounds how a resource should be used, or allocated, and for whom.
B. A river may provide water for agricultural irrigation, habitat for fish, and water-generated electricity for a factory
C. Conservation methods are incidental to care for the river for future use.
D. Farmers, fishers and industry leaders vie for open access to this river.
30.What is the passage above mainly about?
A. Conservation conflicts
B. Agricultural irrigation
C. The headwaters of a major river
D. Natural-resource shortages

We are all slowly destroying the earth. The seas and rivers are too dirty to swim in. There is so much smoke in the air that it is unhealthy to live in many of the world's cities. In one well-known city, for example, poisonous gases from cars pollute the air so much that traffic policemen have to wear oxygen masks.

For instance, tigers are rare in India now because we have killed too many for them to survive. However, it isn't enough simply to talk about the problem. We must act now before it is too late to do anything about it. Join us now. Save the Earth. This is too important to ignore.

GERMANY 4 -2 COSTA RICA
Host Germany opened the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals with a 4-2 win over Group A rivals Costa Rica in Munich on Friday, 9 June 2006. An exciting Opening Match produced three goals inside the first 17 minutes as Philipp Lahm fired Germany in front on six minutes, Paulo Wanchope drew the Ticos level six minutes later and then Miroslav Klose restored the host's lead.

Klose, celebrating his 28th birthday, made it 3–1 after 61 minutes and although Wanchope narrowed the deficit with his second goal on 73 minutes, Jurgen Klinsmann's men secured the three points through Torsten Frings' spectacular drive three minutes from time. Germany made the best possible start to the finals with three points and a healthy return of four goals, but there will be questions raised about their tactics after being caught out twice at the back.

Questionable calls by officials led the Yulon Luxgens to forfeit their game against the Dacin Tigers when the team walked out with only 19 seconds left on the clock, with Yulon's coach hinting that they might sit out for the remainder of the season.
With the Luxgens trailing by three on Sunday, center Tseng Wen-ding's follow-through on a shot attempt after he had been fouled by the Tigers' Chang Chih-fong was ruled unsportsmanlike conduct by the baseline official.
The normally soft-spoken Luxgens skipper Chang Hsueh-lei stormed onto the court and eventually led his crew in the walk-out.
"If they [the Tigers] wanted it [title] so badly, we'll let them have it," Chang said after the game.
He also hinted at withdrawing his team for the rest of the season unless they receive an acceptable explanation from the league.
The Luxgens were also called for unsportsmanlike conduct earlier in the game when Chen Chih-chung was tagged for swinging his elbows at the Tigers' Lin Yi-hui.
With the regular season title on the line and only a game separating the league-leading Tigers and the second-place Luxgens, the showdown between the squads was a dogfight from the tip-off, with neither team able to hold leads of more than eight points.
After the Luxgens fought back to within three, they had a chance to tie the game when Tseng was fouled while driving to the basket.
Instead, the premature departure by the Luxgens automatically resulted in a 20-0 loss and a fine of NT$600,000 (US$18,000).
At a press conference called by the league yesterday afternoon, officials said the Luxgens would have until noon on Friday to pay the fine or risk forfeiting their eligibility to compete in the SBL for two years.
The league also said it would use a foreign officiating crew assigned by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) for the upcoming playoffs so that the quality of officiating "would not be an issue" for any of the four postseason contenders.

BridesAndLovers.com Makes It Easier for American Daters to Discover Romance Overseas
By: Hayley Matthews | Posted: August 24, 2018
The Scoop: BridesAndLovers.com isn't a typical Russian and Eastern European dating site. It belongs to the RedSquareCupid network, which goes the extra mile to maintain high standards in the international dating industry. Thanks to its top-notch security and customer service, BridesAndLovers stands out as one of the most transparent and trustworthy platforms connecting American men and Eastern European women. The dating site's scam-free environment sets users at ease and encourages them to maintain active profiles and meet eligible dates around the world. BridesAndLovers has recently made strides to protect its 175,000 users from abuse (both online and offline) and make international dating safer for everyone involved.
Some singles haven't had much success dating in their own backyard, so they look elsewhere for a romantic partner. Sometimes they look overseas, where they think the grass is greener and the women are more beautiful. Perhaps they're enamored with a particular culture, or perhaps they long for a return to traditional marriage values that may be more difficult to find in the Western dating scene.
Whatever the reason for their wandering eye, these international daters need the right tools to introduce them to eligible and viable date prospects around the world. That's usually where they run into some problems.
International dating services are plentiful, but separating the legit ones from the scams can be difficult. A lot of sketchy business practices, such as creating fake profiles featuring modelesque women, taint the industry as a whole. Unfortunately, it's all too easy for bad dating sites to make headlines for all the wrong reasons.
BridesAndLovers is trying hard to become recognized as one of the good ones. Since its launch in 2007, it has taken steps to stand out for its authenticity, effectiveness, and trustworthiness. Today, this dating service connects 175,000 Western men and Eastern European women on an easy-to-use platform.
"I never thought it would be possible to meet someone so fast. Thank you so much, BridesAndLovers.com." — Peter
BridesAndLovers Founder Stefan Hendrick promises a scam-free dating environment for anyone interested in finding a new pen pal or love interest. He and his team have devised many security measures to ensure members have a good experience from start to finish. The dating site's success stories show how life-changing these tools can be for marriage-minded singles living around the world.
"With your help, I found my future husband," wrote Anna, a former BridesAndLovers member. "I am grateful to you for your noble mission."
"Bridesandlovers.com has one of the best reputations in the industry for giving members a genuine, scam-free, and safe online dating experience," Stefan said. "You will not find the site full of young 20-something beauty queens — because, in reality, those young beauty queens simply do not exist."
An International Dating Site With High Standards
International dating isn't easy. It takes resources to fly around the world, knowledge to adapt to the customs, and patience to complete all the paperwork and get through the red tape. The BridesAndLovers team endeavors to make this process easier on clients by providing supportive services every step of the way.
The dating site recently added a feature it calls IMBRA certification, which means the company looks out for the best interests of both US men and foreign women seeking international marriage. BridesAndLovers is operating in compliance with the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act, which protects foreign women from potentially abusive spouses in the US.
BridesAndLovers fosters greater transparency and guardianship through its IMBRA-compliance features.
The IMBRA certification feature includes assistance with the visa application process and an informational pamphlet explaining the rights of foreign immigrants and victims of domestic abuse in the US. The dating service also takes responsible steps to conduct background checks and keep users informed about what they can expect and anything they should know about their potential wife or husband.
Stefan told us the new IMBRA-compliance policy has been a great success so far. BridesAndLovers has seen a 20% increase in conversion rates since implementing the regulatory system, and the team hopes to build on this growth by emphasizing their commitment to following the law and protecting singles in the US and abroad.
"Bridesandlovers.com already has impacted the niche Eastern European dating industry by offering scam-free dating," he said. "We hope these further improvements will make Bridesandlovers.com the number one Eastern European dating site."
Custom-Built Security Software Keeps Scammers Out
Safety is a big concern for international daters. They don't want to invest their time and energy on a romantic connection that turns out to be a lie. Some international dating sites have a reputation for housing scammers and fake profiles, which can leave honest, relationship-minded singles feeling both frustrated and deceived.
BridesAndLovers.com doesn't want that to be the experience users get on this platform, so it has implemented stringent security measures to protect men and women on the site. The international dating company created and launched CupidGuard, a custom-built software, to police its site with 24/7 moderation and member verification.
These security tools will help the dating site cultivate a friendlier and safer atmosphere where singles don't have to worry about wasting time on fake profiles.
"Many web sites claim to have scammer control, but in fact have very little or even zero," Stefan said. "We set ourselves out from the crowd when it comes to security and member satisfaction."
CupidGuard proactively scans for fake profiles and responds to reports of abuse.
Stefan told us this software will tighten security so that scammers will be discovered and kicked off the site within 24 hours. Highly trained fraud specialists will comb the site for unsavory behavior and screen profiles for false information or suspicious pictures. The CupidGuard technology will ensure users have a positive and safe environment to meet one another. This gives singles peace of mind and encourages them to stay on BridesAndLovers for the long haul.
"As with any dating site, member retention is one of the most important factors," he pointed out. "CupidGuard will only further help with member retention."
BridesAndLovers Prioritizes Online Safety & User Satisfaction
The international dating industry doesn't exactly have a great reputation among mainstream daters, but some upstanding dating companies are striving to combat that stigma and earn the trust of singles around the world. BridesAndLovers has set high standards for international dating services by implementing ironclad security measures and user protection policies.
The dating site has attracted a growing network in the US and abroad since its launch in 2009, and Stefan said he plans on seeing the platform expand to help many more singles form authentic and lasting connections, no matter where they live.
"Our plans for the future are just to give our valued members the best possible online dating experience, and become one of the leading niche dating platforms on the internet," he said.

At the heart of Loire Atlantique, the Guérande salt marshes cover 1,400 hectares where geometric shapes meld with pastel shades to create astonishing landscapes. Take a walk, a bike ride or a horse-drawn coach ride through the marshes, and discover the techniques used for gathering salt. These go back to the 9th century and are mainly based around regulating water levels in a sequence of basins so that the water evaporates and the salt crystallizes.
In this way, without using any machines or chemicals, the paludiers gather the "white gold", a delicacy for gourmet diners: fleur de sel. To brush up on your knowledge of salt and the lifestyle of the paludiers throughout history, you can visit the Marais Salants museum in Batz-sur-Mer, with its fun and fascinating exhibition.

Q: Does fgetc return EOF on every call after end-of-file reached? Given the following C code:
int eofCount = 0;
while (true) {
    int c = fgetc(stdin);
    if (c == EOF) eofCount++;
}

Will eofCount ever become greater than 1?
I can't find anything in C docs describing what happens with fgetc after EOF has been reached once. I know I can do this book-keeping myself, but if the stdlib does it for me that'd be great.
I'm not looking for code snippets because I've already try this with glibc and in fact eofCount is incremented past EOF. I would like stdlib source code reference or spec that confirms this is the defined behavior. Relying on undefined behavior could lead to problems down the road.

A: As long as you're not reading from an interactive Linux terminal (i.e. you do not open a file or pipe stdin from some other file/process), once you read EOF all future reads will also read EOF.
If you are reading from a Linux terminal, pressing the key sequence for EOF (CTRL-D on Linux) will read as EOF but you can still enter in more characters and read them.
From section 7.21.7.1 of the C standard:

3 If the end-of-file indicator for the stream is set, or if the stream is at end-of-file, the end-of-file indicator for the stream is
  set and the fgetc function returns EOF. Otherwise, the fgetc
  function returns the next character from the input stream pointed to
  by stream.  If  a  read  error  occurs,  the  error  indicator  for
  the  stream  is  set  and  the fgetc function returns EOF.

A:
Does fgetc return EOF on every call after end-of-file reached?

It depends of 2 indicators and I/O function calls.

Although not mentioned by OP, there are 2 reasons why fgetc(stdin); returns EOF and how they affect following fgetc() calls is not symmetric.  Further, use of various I/O functions affect 2 indicators that in turn affect following fgetc() calls
End-of-file.
Input error.

The C spec is explicit on the end-of-file indicator causing subsequent EOF.

If the end-of-file indicator for the input stream pointed to by stream is not set and a next character is present, the fgetc function obtains that character ... C11 §7.21.7.1 2

When end-of-file occurs or had occurred, a persistent flag is set: end-of-file indicator, so subsequent calls to fgetc() will return EOF.

If the end-of-file indicator for the stream is set, or if the stream is at end-of-file, the end-of-file indicator for the stream is set and the fgetc function returnsEOF ... §7.21.7.1 3

When a rare input error occurs, fgetc() returns EOF, but that event does not set the end-of-file indicator, but an error indicator is set.  Subsequent calls do not necessarily return EOF, even though a error indicator is set.  IMO, the C spec is insufficiency clear on this point.

If a read error occurs, the error indicator for the stream is set and the fgetc function returns EOF §7.21.7.1 3

A call to feof(), and ferror() can be used to distinguish what caused the EOF, yet also may reflect prior I/O activity.  Thus good code promptly checks these functions after an EOF is returned and clears them if following I/O is to occur.

The end-of-file indicator and error indicator can be cleared with void clearerr(FILE *stream);
The rewind() function clears the  error indicator.
ungetc() will clear the end-of-file indicator.
Other I/O functions also affect these indicators.

Subsequent calls to fgetc() might not return EOF if the condition the caused the first EOF is removed and corresponding indicator is cleared.

A: Yes the count will become greater than one because you have an infinite while loop. You would find http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf and http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/ useful.
Try this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

int main() {
    int eofCount = 0;
    /*while (true) {*/

    int c = fgetc(stdin);
    if (c == EOF) eofCount++;
        c = fgetc(stdin);
    if (c == EOF) eofCount++;
        c = fgetc(stdin);
    if (c == EOF) eofCount++;

    /*}*/

printf("%d\n", eofCount);
return 0;

}
Compile and run. Hit ctrl+D twice on Linux and then enter. You will get 2.
This was compiled with gcc -ansi -Wall -Werror -pedantic test.c so it satisfied ANSI i.e. C89 standard.

After being promoted to the big league club last Thursday from the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox, former Sea Dogs Deven Marrero and Jonathan Aro both saw action on Sunday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. The appearance marked the major league debut for Marrero, while Aro pitched 1/3 innings of relief in his second appearance for the big league club.
Marrero pinch-hit for first baseman Mike Napoli, who was ejected for dropping his bat after a called third strike by home plate umpire Tripp Gibson III in the top of the second inning. Brock Holt slid over from second base to first, with Marrero coming in and taking over second base duties.
The 24-year old Miami, Florida native went 0-3 with two strikeouts in his major league debut, but came up big in the eighth inning with a spectacular defensive play to save a run and preserve Boston's two-run lead.
Marrero was drafted by the Red Sox in the first round of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft out of Arizona State University and had spent the beginning of this season in Pawtucket where he hit .241/.300/.345 with four home runs and 21 RBIs in 66 games. He spent parts of the 2013-2014 seasons with the Portland Sea Dogs and owned a .279/.361/.391 line with five home runs and 44 RBIs over 87 games.
Jonathan Aro made his major league debut against the Baltimore Orioles after being called up last Thursday, pitching 1 1/3 innings while allowing four hits and a run on two strikeouts and no walks. After Justin Masterson and Alexi Ogando pitched the first six innings on Sunday against the Rays, Aro was summoned to pitch the seventh, but struggled to get through 1/3 of an inning allowing two runs on two hits.
24-year old Aro is a native of the Dominican Republic, and was signed by the Red Sox as a non-drafted free agent in June of 2011. He began the year with the Sea Dogs and went 3-2 with a 2.82 ERA and 19 strikeouts over 8 games before being promoted to Triple-A last month.

Q: Listen for client side router (react router) to finish loading a new route in a chrome extension? I am building a chrome extension that adds features to an existing website that uses react router. I am able to handle the initial load but every subsequent load is difficult since there doesn't appear to be an event I can listen to for when the new route has finished loading. Currently, I am using a service worker to message the content script when the URL of the tab changes but that doesn't account for the time it takes to load the new page. The crucial part about this is that I am not the owner of the site I am modifying so I can't add anything to the code to make this easier, I'm just working with what's given to me.
I am currently using a MutationObserver on the react router root component to check for the page load following the URL change but it is clunky and inconsistent since it doesn't work for all routes. Is there a better way to go about this? Is there an event I can listen for or a specific quirk of the router that I can use to make this snappier? I am basically just looking to create my own callback function for when the router finishes loading the new page.

Seeking an Answer to Overconcentration in Tokyo
As COVID-19 ravaged the world, Japan's economy shrank more than at any time since data tracking began in 1980. New Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga will undoubtedly make the recovery his top priority.
But Suga should also properly address overconcentration in Tokyo, a serious problem that prolonged the pandemic. Immediately after Japan declared a state of emergency in April, the Greater Tokyo Area accounted for roughly half of new cases. After a period of improvement, Tokyo continues to observe the highest number of COVID-19 cases in the country, almost twice the rate of the next most populous prefecture.
Though former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made redressing Tokyo's overconcentration a pillar of his regional revitalization plan in 2014, there has been little progress. To produce tangible results, Suga should prioritize regional revitalization and take drastic measures that his conservative party typically resists.
Worrying Trends
In 2018, net inflow to the Greater Tokyo Area (Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa, Saitama prefectures) reached 136,000 people, boosting the already massive population. Despite implementing policy initiatives to curb this influx, Tokyo still saw a net growth of 150,000 people in 2019.
Japan's population trends do not align with Tokyo's; estimates suggest that the national population will decrease by 23 percent between 2010 and 2050. It's already proving true, as the population has fallen every year since 2010. As of 2019, people above sixty-five years old make up 28 percent of the population, and births hit a record low.
This overall decline hits regions outside Tokyo harder; a 2014 report warned that almost half of the country's municipalities could disappear due to population decline and administrative failures. The fewer people there are, the less revenue municipalities make, deteriorating public services and quality of life. This drives citizens toward the most developed place: Tokyo.
Experts estimate that there is a 70 percent chance the next great magnitude-seven earthquake will hit Tokyo before 2050. About a third of Tokyo's residents could be directly affected by liquefaction—when loosely packed, water-logged sediment at or near the surface weakens because of strong ground shaking. The amount of damage from this earthquake could reach up to ¥95 trillion (approximately $900 billion).
A 2019 government risk assessment found that an earthquake would kill between 16,000 and 23,000 people, cause an additional 8,900 to 16,000 fire deaths, and leave about eight million people without water. If the government addresses overconcentration before this catastrophe, it would save countless lives.
The Cause of Overconcentration: Spatial Planning
With a population of one million people by the eighteenth century, Edo (Tokyo) was already one of the largest cities in the world. In 1888, the city's first planning legislation laid the foundations for its development.
After the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake and fire razed almost half the city, Tokyo rapidly redeveloped into a modern hub, furnished with streets and a metro system. These redevelopment projects were briefly halted during World War II; as such, the city broke through in 1956 with the National Capital Region Development Act.
This national vision replaced the failed Capital Construction Act of 1950, a prefecture-specific law that couldn't address expansion into other urban areas. The 1956 Act divided the capital region into three areas based on current and potential development. It aimed to connect the capital with neighboring prefectures to develop a large regional complex. Roads, railways, and subway services were connected to the outlying suburbs, with Tokyo set as the center for this progress.
Because of economic growth, 72 percent of people lived in cities during the mid-1950s, with Tokyo's population swelling from about four million in 1947 to seven million in 1955. It was against this backdrop that the government introduced the first Comprehensive National Development Plan (CNDP) in 1962.
The plan established the Pacific Belt Zone as a manufacturing center to control overpopulation in cities and correct regional disparities. It created fifteen industrial cities outside this zone to limit the concentration of industry in the largest industrial areas like Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. The government planned to use infrastructure investment to connect cities with bullet trains and expressways.
Japan's economic growth helped spur mass investment into regional public works like infrastructure, ensuring people stayed in their local regions. The unprecedented City Planning Act of 1969 devolved power to local authorities, allowing them to control the process that grants public development projects to private entities. Per capita income inequality among Japanese prefectures narrowed during the 1970s. The economy stagnated as the decade ended, causing people to stay in newly developed regions.
"One natural disaster could decimate the capital, and the nation along with it. Now that COVID-19 has shown the risks involved with overconcentration and made people more receptive to new technologies, the country must make some bold proposals to avert a national crisis."
Planning took a rather sharp turn in the 1980s, when the fourth CNDP accepted Tokyo as the hub of Japan's economy. It aimed to form multipolar zones—larger metro areas, each with several centers of equal importance—with business hubs around the twenty-three wards of Tokyo. This was expected to dilute the business presence in Tokyo, which housed half of major corporations' headquarters.
However, the new business hubs missed their development targets because the national government deregulated the financial sector. As a result, financial institutions took more loans to invest in stocks and real estate, and businesses flocked to Tokyo. Although the plan provided substantial subsidies to connect the city with suburban areas, it failed to reduce overconcentration because Tokyo had a better environment for businesses.
Once the government realized its policy was not reducing overconcentration, its objectives shifted from dispersing people to creating co-dependent entities. This is summarized in the fifth CNDP, introduced in 1998. The plan did not seek to disperse people throughout the archipelago, since studies estimated that 20 percent of inhabited areas would be abandoned in the future. Instead, it allowed concentration in a few places that could muster the tax revenue to provide adequate public services. The plan also stressed a need to flatten the hierarchy between Tokyo and other prefectures.
As a result of multiple CNDPs, national spatial planning shifted from development to improving quality of life. It increasingly became locally driven, with municipalities soliciting citizens' feedback and sending proposals to the national government.
Consequently, Japan has seen high concentration in certain areas, but low economic disparities among territories since the 1980s. Quality of life—health, safety, and jobs—consistently ranked high globally. In addition, high taxes (45 percent) on the wealthy and inheritance taxes (maximum 55 percent) addressed inequality.
In that sense, Japan successfully developed through targeted investments and careful planning. However, there is still a need to redress the unipolar structure concentrated in the capital due to inadequate disaster preparedness and population decline.
Merits and Demerits of Overconcentration
Tokyo is home to most political, financial, and cultural functions. This is unusual in developed countries. The US, for instance, separates functions; Washington, DC, for government, New York City for finance, and San Francisco for technological innovation. As of 2017, Greater Tokyo houses a whopping 62 percent of all large corporations (over a billion yen or about $9.6 million in financial capital) and accounts for around 30 percent of the country's GDP and population.
The concentration of capital draws people into the city and boosts the productivity of firms. Despite higher land and leasing costs, corporations prefer the city center where face-to-face interactions occur. People also favor the city because of its highly developed transit system, proximity to major media outlets, and the concentration of political functions.
Perhaps the most indirect yet significant merit is Tokyo's brand; it has long thrived as a tourist destination, financial center, educational hub, and political capital. For businesses, it's a status symbol to have an office in Tokyo, while for citizens, it's more convenient living in a city with exceptional social welfare. In addition, Tokyo has high levels of safety and little air pollution, maintaining the city's high quality of life.
Concentration in the capital, where fertility rates are lower than the countryside, exacerbates the declining population. As people leave the countryside, these regions lose women between the ages of twenty and thirty-nine, who make up 95 percent of those who give birth. The drop in regional fertility rate drags down the national rate and slows population growth.
Overconcentration also makes it harder for the city to prepare for accidents. If a major disaster were to hit Tokyo, all political and financial functions would freeze, GDP would plummet, the economy would be thrown into disarray, and a third of the country's population would be at risk of injury or death. Tokyo's aging infrastructure would also cause accidents and worsen congestion, devastating residents' livelihoods. While not as bad, COVID-19 proved that overpopulation makes it difficult to effectively roll out mitigation policies.
Abe's Response: Regional Revitalization
Through his regional revitalization guidelines, former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe set a goal to overcome population decline and vitalize regional economies. It aimed to make localities more attractive so people would settle down and raise families there, ideally raising child fertility and decreasing overconcentration.
"As good as they sound, Abe's policies were relatively consistent with past plans and did little to address Tokyo's administrative advantages. As a result, sharp turn in policy is necessary."
In 2019, the cabinet set forth measures to facilitate the migration of young people out of Tokyo. They called for the expansion of "related populations"—people who are loosely connected to regions and may settle there in the future. The plan provides support to pioneering municipalities that tackle issues through artificial intelligence and the internet of things (extending the power of the internet beyond computers). It also aims to make education more applicable to tangible careers.
So far, things haven't panned out. Tokyo remains the most attractive destination for many. Close to half of all migrants to the capital in 2018 were between fifteen and twenty-nine years old. Further, a majority of those between eleven and nineteen cited university or jobs as the primary reason to move there. Surprisingly, only half who chose to work or study there wanted to live in the Tokyo area, while over 60 percent responded that their preferred jobs and high salaries could not be found elsewhere.
More women are migrating to Tokyo than men. Those in their twenties and thirties say they don't return home because of insufficient job opportunities and prejudicial attitudes toward unmarried and working women.
To address these concerns, the 2020 Plan for Regional Revitalization proposes increasing enrollment at national universities and creating enticing online courses. It would also promote satellite campuses and internships at local businesses to retain local youth. The heightened demand for remote work in response to COVID-19 has created an urgent need to relocate large corporations, create satellite offices, and provide financial aid for infrastructure installations.
The plan also includes Society 5.0, an initiative that calls for the use of future technologies to improve public services and create super cities. These cities—defined by the ability to use AI and big data for urban design—aim to solve local issues and promote regions at the same time.
Drastic Changes to Policy
In order to stem inflow, Tokyo's image must be redefined. No amount of corporate tax subsidies or university enrollment caps will change it—the key would be creating attractive jobs and improving quality of life in localities.
COVID-19 presents an opportunity to introduce bold policies and take advantage of technology-driven connectedness. Employees no longer have to be physically present in offices, so the long-running tradition of workplace togetherness can and should adapt to the circumstances.
One idea would be to return to one of the goals of the National Spatial Planning Act of 2005, under which Japan would be divided into regional blocks that specialize in different industries.
Bio-related industries could be located in Hokkaido, a prefecture more than six hundred miles from Tokyo. Any national grants or subsidies related to this industry would be allocated to the prefectural block, building local industry and attracting businesses in that field. Academic institutions and research facilities could also be housed there, attracting students and scholars. Local municipalities could focus on infrastructure and quality of life, which attract families and hopefully contribute to improved fertility rates.
Telecommunications—at the forefront of attention during COVID-19—could be used to conduct virtual interactions, reducing travel to the capital. Corporations can have a lobbying branch in Tokyo that deals with any necessary direct meetings with government agencies.
A region with several prefectures could emulate the Greater Tokyo Area, but with greater emphasis on specific industries. Local schools could differentiate themselves from those in Tokyo by preparing students for local careers. A division of labor—one city could be filled with quality housing while another houses businesses—would cut cost redundancies and improve everything from infrastructure to public services.
In tandem with this, Japan can make better use of the National Strategic Special Zones (NSSZs) initiative. These ten zones offer foreign people and businesses favorable conditions to enhance the international competitiveness of Japanese businesses.
Like the regional block proposal, reforms in each zone are meant to ease development of specific areas such as agriculture, tourism, and health care. The government relaxes regulations in such zones and financially supports participating businesses. For example, medically focused Osaka used the NSSZ to expedite qualification of much-needed childcare staff by improving the exam system. This, among other measures, helped to halve the waiting list for childcare in two years.
However, even the NSSZ disproportionately focuses on Greater Tokyo. Currently, Tokyo has 124 approved projects, exactly double that of Fukuoka, which has the second-most approved projects. If the government truly desires to end overconcentration, new projects must be minimized or else Tokyo will continue to attract foreign capital and labor.
The NSSZ also fails to fully capture foreign labor that could help address the labor shortage hindering regional revitalization. While Abe talked about the need to "actively accept these highly motivated young people," policies have failed to make the transition easy. The government should contemplate ways to ease visa regulations and restrictions.
In effect, Japan should create regional blocks similar to NSSZs for domestic businesses, while enhancing regional zones for foreign companies and workers. Combining varying strategies would help alleviate overconcentration, grow domestic businesses, and attract investments and labor from abroad.
Another idea involves reducing new factories, universities, and offices in Tokyo. The Factory Limitation Act of 1959 limited the construction of new factories and universities. As a result, the share of factory workers and university students in central Tokyo plummeted; Hachioji, located on the western edge of Tokyo, now houses twenty universities.
Reviving the act and applying it to reduce factories, universities, and offices could temporarily minimize inflow. The government can help establish satellite facilities in other regions. Beginning in a new academic year, universities could transfer 20 to 30 percent of students to satellite campuses. Once those regions begin to attract people, these measures could be lifted.
The plan faces fierce resistance from the Tokyo government and business interests, but something as radical as this may be necessary to stave off overconcentration and revitalize other regions.
"Experts estimate that there is a 70 percent chance the next great magnitude-seven earthquake will hit Tokyo before 2050."
Regions could also promote and develop new and critical industries that have growth potential, such as telecommunications and high-technology. Both sectors would be essential for revitalizing regions and new workstyles. Proactively supporting startups and businesses in these sectors will help build a community around growing industries, while creating jobs and attracting new investors and businesses in the process. In turn, these could help tourism (which will continue to be a key sector) grow by making production of certain local products more efficient.
The government can supplement this by investing more in high-tech firms and providing benefits to firms and municipalities that use these technologies. For regional revitalization, there are tax breaks and credits for companies relocating to other regions, but no subsidies for local firms or regional municipalities that implement technology to improve efficiency. These incentives would help promote regional firms while improving quality of life at the same time.
Not all large companies have the resources and reasons to relocate from Tokyo. Some, like retailers, may need Tokyo's market to conduct face-to-face business. However, the increased use of online services and a recent interest to relocate could incentivize companies to leave Tokyo. Companies could shorten work hours (and overwork for that matter) before businesses in the capital do, thereby increasing the number of hours employees spend outside of work. Low fertility in Tokyo has been attributed to a choice between work and family, so alleviating work stress could help resolve the declining population issue.
For instance, Komatsu Ltd., a multinational manufacturer, relocated its head office to Ishikawa prefecture and found that female managers had an average of three children—Tokyo's average is 0.9—and shorter commute times. Attracting workers through better working conditions could help prevent outflow from regions, but it would be contingent on a high quality of life. People will only stop migrating to Tokyo if everything they need can be accessed elsewhere; technology and new workstyles could achieve just that.
Tokyo's current governor finds no need to redress overconcentration in the capital, arguing that it would not help Japan's economic growth. This makes sense, given the importance of Tokyo and the plentiful tax revenue its people and businesses contribute. But one natural disaster could decimate the capital, and the nation along with it.
Now that COVID-19 has shown the risks involved with overconcentration and made people more receptive to new technologies, the country must make some bold proposals to avert a national crisis. The new Suga cabinet has announced a program to offer up to $9,500 for workers to move to the countryside while keeping jobs in Tokyo. Major companies have started to encourage remote work by suspending subsidies for monthly commuter train expenses. These are good steps forward.
Reluctance to change will only cost the country dearly. Traditions have to change; COVID-19 may be the catalyst necessary to do just that.

Story Text: Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday (March 11) praised the military's operation on a third day of violence against militants in the Gaza Strip.
"I would like to praise its action as well as that of the security and intelligence bodies. We have exacted a heavy price from them and still are, and we will continue to act as needed. I have to mention that the Iron Dome system has proven itself," Netanyahu told his cabinet ministers at their weekly meeting in Jerusalem.
Earlier on Sunday, Israeli aircraft killed two Palestinians, including a 12-year-old boy according to medical sources in Gaza.
An Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed the strikes and said the army was checking on the reports that a boy was killed.
Sunday's attacks brought to 17 the number of Palestinians killed since Friday (March 9), when Israeli missiles killed two militant leaders.
Sixteen of those killed were Palestinian militants, according to Palestinian officials. Medics have identified some of the wounded as civilians.
Militant groups in Hamas-ruled Gaza have fired more than 100 rockets into southern Israel since Friday (March 9), injuring six people, one of them seriously. Six more projectiles were fired from Gaza on Sunday, an Israeli police spokesman said.
Schools in the area were closed but a child who was playing in a school's playground was forced to run for shelter when the sound of rockets boomed above him. Residents voiced concern for their safety.
"I have children, the sirens are very scary. It is limiting us and it is very difficult," said Tirtza, a resident of of the frequently-targeted town of Ashkelon.
Islamic Jihad and the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), an armed faction largely independent of Gaza's Islamist Hamas rulers, said it had fired most of the rockets and mortars.
The escalating violence drew appeals for a ceasefire from the United Nations, the European Union, the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority and neighbouring Egypt.

Detroit Pistons select Stanley Johnson, despite pre-draft projections
By David Shelmon
Photo by Elsa/Getty Images
It's official. Former Arizona freshman forward Stanley Johnson is a member of the Detroit Pistons. The 2014-15 Pac-12 Freshman of the Year was taken with the eighth-overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft on Thursday, June 25. He was the Pistons' only first-round draft selection since the franchise drafted Kentavious Caldwell-Pope back in 2013.
Detroit Free Press sports writer Vince Ellis released his official NBA draft lottery projections just five days before the draft. In his article, he attempted to predict which players were going to be chosen by the teams with the first 14 picks.
Although Ellis might not be too surprised by the Pistons' first-round pick, he didn't predict Johnson's landing spot. He had the former Arizona Wildcat being taken by the Miami Heat with the 10th-overall pick. At No. 8, Ellis had the Pistons selecting Croatian small forward Mario Hezonja.
As everybody now knows, Hezonja was taken at No. 5 by the Orlando Magic. This left the Pistons with no choice but to take Johnson, their back-up option, at No. 8.
The Heat, of course, selected former Duke forward Justise Winslow at No. 10.
Stanley Johnson is a 6-foot-7, 245-pound forward from Fullerton, Calif. He attended Mater Dei High School before playing just one season at Arizona. During his tenure at Arizona, he racked up numerous accolades, including being named to the All-Pac-12 team and All-Freshman team for the Pac-12 Conference. He is 19 years old.
