We need full employment and fair incomes, not unemployment and basic incomes
Even more, the claim of 47 per cent of jobs being at risk was over 'some unspecified number of years, perhaps a decade or two'.

The automation debate – whether robots will take your job – has led to a dangerous theory: we face mass unemployment, so we need a basic income. A host of billionaires support this theory: Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, Elon Musk of Tesla, Pierre Omidyar of eBay, and maybe Jeff Bezos of Amazon. There is academic support. Two researchers did a paper titled 'The future of employment' in 2013, claiming in the abstract that 47 per cent of American jobs were at risk from automation. A basic income has both admirable supporters and Milton Friedman. But the narrative is deeply misguided, as I explore here and in a forthcoming article, because (1) credible evidence for future technological unemployment does not exist, (2) full employment will exist when we stop asset owners restricting investment, and (3) we need universal fair incomes, not just a basic income that subsidises poverty-paying employers.
The evidence for technological unemployment does not exist
When Frey and Osborne released their 2013 paper on 'The future of employment', few people read past the abstract headline: 47 per cent of jobs were (supposedly) 'at risk' from automation. Somewhere in the paper's middle, the real method was explained: that "with a group of [machine learning] researchers, we subjectively hand-labelled 70 occupations, assigning 1 if automatable, and 0 if not' by 'eyeballing' different tasks." In other words, the method was like getting some mates to guess goals for the World Cup. This method is unfalsifiable: like picking race horses, betting on stocks and shares, or staring into a crystal ball.
Even more, the claim of 47 per cent of jobs being at risk was over 'some unspecified number of years, perhaps a decade or two'. What does that mean? 5 years, 20 years, 200 years? I didn't know, so I decided to do my own study. I 'subjectively hand-labelled' 25 occupations from Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales (1387) by 'eyeballing' different tasks: 1 for employed, 0 for not, and the innovation of 0.5 for part-employed.
Table 1. Occupations from The Canterbury Tales
I reached the result that merely 46 per cent of jobs have actually been lost in 631 years, or 1 per cent under Frey and Osborne's study. Now you might say my Canterbury Tales study uses a questionable categorisation of jobs, lazy statistics and an unscientific method. But it has one thing which Frey and Osborne did not: evidence.
Of course I'm joking, and the trouble is not Frey and Osborne, but the tomes of conflicted 'research' that followed from Citigroup, Deloitte, McKinsey, or PwC. Like the billionaires, these firms want to suggest automation will create mass unemployment, because they sell consultancy services where people are made redundant. They profit from stoking social anxiety, and a climate of inevitability. Frey and Osborne recently distanced themselves from claims of unemployment 'apocalypse'. Osborne, himself, has been exceptionally generous in correspondence with me and is genuinely concerned about social solutions to modern problems. But evidence-free claims are now widespread, and must be stopped: the false claim that unemployment (not just redundancies) or even inequality, results from technology, not changes in labour rights and law.
Full employment is possible by ensuring asset owners cannot restrict investment
The cause of unemployment is the artificial restriction of investment when asset owners hoard capital. Full employment means getting all the hours you want 'at fair wages' – not under-employment and zero hour contracts. It means an unemployment rate of 1.2 to 2.7 per cent, like the UK had from 1945 to 1971:

All items: percentage change over 12 months (2017).
When the UK committed to full employment, inequality also decreased because unions gave people a real voice at work. Even more, at universities, steel or the post, votes at work were spreading. Inflation was low, and equal prosperity was cross-party political consensus: Conservative, Labour and Liberal.
In the US, there was no post-WW2 consensus. Democrats always left the White House with unemployment lower: down 12 per cent overall. Republicans always left the White House worse: up 14 per cent overall. Why do Republicans have an abysmal job-killing record? They are captured by big business, and higher unemployment reduces worker power. Mass incarceration, from Reagan on, would raise the real US unemployment rate even more, by around 1.3 per cent. This is America: not full employment in a free society.

Republican politicians were propped up by evidence-free theories of Friedrich von Hayek and Milton Friedman, who argued unemployment was 'natural'. Their enemy was the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, which says: 'Everyone has the right to work' for 'just and favourable remuneration' and more 'holidays with pay'. In 1950, Hayek said government could never use fiscal or monetary policy to get full employment because to pay for 'the kind of services… the unemployed offer' there would be 'major inflationary effects'. This claim was evidence-free.
But in 1967 Friedman, now American Economic Association President, argued a 'natural' unemployment rate came from the 'legal minimum wage rates', pro-labour public procurement and 'the strength of labor unions'. If government tried to go below 'they will trigger inflation.' In 1977 there was still no evidence for 'natural' unemployment, but Friedman argued the natural rate had 'clearly been rising' because 'women, teenagers and part-time workers' were entering the labour force, and welfare was 'more generous'. Friedman was wrong: if production expands when there is full employment, there will be no inflation. Everyone will be better off. Unemployment and inflation have no relationship.

We get full employment with full investment. The UK's Employment Policy did just this after WW2 (like Germany, Australia, Japan, France…) even though 42 per cent of workers were actually redundant immediately upon armistice (not over 'some unspecified number of years') from the front and munitions factories. Government promised to balance private sector and international volatility. It required quotas of disabled veterans be hired to big companies. It spread development so regions were not depressed, brewing fascist discontent. But in fact, full employment also cost almost nothing to sustain. There was no mass Keynesian counter-cyclical spending. Once government committed to do 'whatever it takes', business confidence was sound. After OPEC shocked our oil-dependent economies, full employment was possible again.
Although full employment costs little, corporations who hoard cash and restrain investment must pay their fair share of tax. In 2016, US non-financial firms hoarded $1.68 trillion in cash. Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Cisco and Oracle alone held $504 billion: enough to give every unemployed American a full-time job on $10 an hour for a four-year term. This is why a US job guarantee on fair wages, which would stop workfare, and stop people being forced to work through poverty, has been rapidly gaining popularity.
People want universal fair incomes, not basic incomes subsidising bad employers
People want universal fair incomes, not just a basic income. This said, there are very different models of the basic income. The billionaires may fantasise about it as a subsidy for their poverty-pay, while taking all the gains of economic growth, and 'converting' it 'into space travel'. Most advocates see basic income as a way of completing the promise of universal social security. They oppose the stigma of benefits, and being forced to work at Poundland, because income insurance is a right we pay for, not a charity we should beg for, or a subsidy for poverty-pay employers. In fact, social security helps people who never collect it the most. It raises all workers' bargaining power, because people are no longer dying for a job. With careful tax reform, social security can become universal again. But this is just a start: modern law has always aimed for a minimum floor of rights, and ways to achieve fairness beyond the minimum.
We achieve a 'fair day's wage for a fair day's work' – and stop soaring inequality – by restoring full employment, voice and votes at work. That means (1) sectoral collective bargaining, which guarantees everyone fair pay, (2) the right to vote for your boss, and hold executives accountable in corporate governance, and (3) taking back the votes in company shares bought with your retirement savings: pension, insurance or mutual funds, that are monopolised by asset managers and banks.

Without voice at work, a basic income will subsidise poverty-paying employers, just like housing benefit without rent regulation goes straight into landlords' pockets. This is why democracy in the economy must be defended, as much as it is in politics. Once people can see and understand the institutions that shape their lives, and vote in shaping them too, robots will not automate your job away. There will be full employment, fair incomes, and a thriving economy democracy.

SAN FRANCISCO - Google paid $3.2 billion for Nest Labs to bring Tony Fadell and a cadre of former Apple developers to the company and get a foothold in the potentially hot connected home market.
But Google may also have been interested in Nest's portfolio of patents focused on home automation and related technology, which may come in handy as the company expands beyond Internet search and mobile.
"While Nest has already built a strong reputation for design and user experience, we believe Google would not have purchased the company if it did not have substantial and valuable intellectual property associated with the design of embedded systems," Carlos Kirjner, an analyst at Bernstein Research wrote in a note to investors Tuesday.
Google has been hammered by the smartphone patent litigation war stemming from its entrance into the mobile market through its Android operating system. The company was once considered weak on patents, given its market value and reach. The acquisition of Motorola for $12.5 billion partly solved this by bringing a mountain of phone related patents to the company.
Google has also been pushing for reforms to the patent system, but the company is still likely interested in a juicy portfolio of intellectual property focused on a new and potentially large new market.
Nest has been granted 40 patents, has acquired 60 and has filed for more than 200 more, according to spokeswoman Kate Brinks.
In September, Nest cut a deal with Intellectual Ventures, one of the largest aggregators of patents, that gives it access to more than 40,000 patents for defensive purposes.
"In just a few short years since its founding in 2010, Nest has done an excellent job in obtaining patents related to its self-learning thermostat, smoke alarm, and home automation technology," said Maulin Shah of patent research firm Envision IP.
Some of this patent expertise came from Apple. Chip Lutton, the former chief patent counsel of Apple, joined Nest in 2012.
Nest patents may complement Google's technology well, Maulin added in a blog Tuesday.
A recently issued Nest patent spotted by Maulin, US 8620841, describes integrating home automation and social networking.
"A user's status as reported to their trusted contacts on the social network could be updated to indicate when they are home based on light detection, security system inactivation or device usage detectors," the patent reads.

One of the things farmers learn very early is that you can't control every variable involved in growing your crop, so you should focus on what you can control. When planting winter wheat, there's no telling what the season will bring, so you focus on making the best choices available to you from the start. That process starts with choosing where to seed to give your crop the advantage in over-wintering.
In this episode of the Wheat School, we talk winter wheat with MAFRI Cereal Specialist Pam de Rocquigny. Pam speaks about the importance of stubble selection, seeding depth and weed control in winter wheat.

The latest news about tinnitus treatment comes from a UK study showing that Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) significantly helps reduce the severity of the disorder. The researchers reported that, among the 75 patients being studied, both relaxation therapy and MBCT worked to alleviate symptoms as well as reducing psychological distress, anxiety and depression related to the disorder. MBCT led to greater reductions in tinnitus severity and the improvements lasted longer.
Think about your breathing. Notice that it has a natural rhythm. Try to breathe in a steady, even rhythm. It helps to breathe in through your nose, hold your breath for a moment and then breathe out through your mouth. Wait a moment before breathing in again. Every time you breathe out, try to release a little bit of your tension. Do this for a few minutes, until you feel ready to move on to the next step.
But it's still a significant improvement. And Kilgard says he and others are working to make the treatment even more effective. He suspects this type of therapy is not too far off from being available to patients outside of research studies. "It's in the late stages of development," he says. "It could be available to the public in as little as a year or two."
What does he mean by "ends up in the brain"? Essentially, something that causes even temporary hearing damage — such as exposure to very loud noise or a blow to the head — can change activity patterns in the brain in ways that cause the ringing. Even though some damage or problem in the ear triggered tinnitus to begin with, you continue to hear the sound you do because of a signal from the brain.
Tinnitus can be extremely frustrating and can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unsure about your next steps. Remember that you are not alone - tinnitus, while not well-understood, is common. Make an appointment with a hearing care professional near you, preferably one who specializes in tinnitus treatment. Be prepared to discuss your symptoms in detail so you can get relief and regain your quality of life.
One group of 247 patients received standard (usual) care for tinnitus. This included audiological checks, counselling, prescription of a hearing aid if indicated, prescription of a "masker" if requested by the patient (a device that generates neutral sounds to distract from the noise of the tinnitus), and counselling from social workers when required.
Tinnitus can arise anywhere along the auditory pathway, from the outer ear through the middle and inner ear to the brain's auditory cortex, where it's thought to be encoded (in a sense, imprinted). One of the most common causes of tinnitus is damage to the hair cells in the cochlea (see "Auditory pathways and tinnitus"). These cells help transform sound waves into nerve signals. If the auditory pathways or circuits in the brain don't receive the signals they're expecting from the cochlea, the brain in effect "turns up the gain" on those pathways in an effort to detect the signal — in much the same way that you turn up the volume on a car radio when you're trying to find a station's signal. The resulting electrical noise takes the form of tinnitus — a sound that is high-pitched if hearing loss is in the high-frequency range and low-pitched if it's in the low-frequency range. This kind of tinnitus resembles phantom limb pain in an amputee — the brain is producing abnormal nerve signals to compensate for missing input.
Dr. Jastreboff, Ph.D., Sc.D., developed the renowned Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). Julie had the privilege of studying under him in 2002 and today is a proud member of the TRT Association. With this neurophysiological background, Julie is continually seeking and analyzing the latest tinnitus technologies, to best help you find the long-term solution that's right for you.
When there does not seem to be a connection with a disorder of the inner ear or auditory nerve, the tinnitus is called nonotic (i.e. not otic). In some 30% of tinnitus cases, the tinnitus is influenced by the somatosensory system, for instance people can increase or decrease their tinnitus by moving their face, head, or neck.[27] This type is called somatic or craniocervical tinnitus, since it is only head or neck movements that have an effect.[25]
Dr. Julie Prutsman's team of audiologists offer a higher standard of expertise. She has been deeply involved with tinnitus for more than 15 years, long before effective treatments had been developed beyond hearing aids and maskers. Dr. Julie also studied under one of the industry's most respected and leading medical experts, Dr. Pawel Jastreboff, and she has personally trained each and every one of her doctors.
Exposure to loud noise. Loud noises, such as those from heavy equipment, chain saws and firearms, are common sources of noise-related hearing loss. Portable music devices, such as MP3 players or iPods, also can cause noise-related hearing loss if played loudly for long periods. Tinnitus caused by short-term exposure, such as attending a loud concert, usually goes away; both short- and long-term exposure to loud sound can cause permanent damage.

Home/Land Forces/Leonardo-Finmeccanica GVA mission system selected for Danish Army vehicle fleet
Leonardo-Finmeccanica GVA mission system selected for Danish Army vehicle fleet
September 9, 2016	Land Forces Leave a comment
Rome, 7 September 2016 – Leonardo-Finmeccanica has signed a contract with the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) to provide Vehicle Mission Systems for the DanishArmy's land vehicles. Based on the Leonardo solution, developed to be fully compliant to the very latest Generic Vehicle Architecture (GVA) technology, systems will be fitted on several platformsincluding the newly procured Piranha V APC, new Armoured Patrol Vehicles, Wisent engineering vehicles, Leopard II MBTs and CV90 IFVs. The first production order under the framework contract isexpected imminently.
Leonardo was selected as the chosen supplier after two competitive user field trials and comprehensive through-life cost and supportability analyses. Modular mission systems will be tailored to each ehicletype and role, with DALO able to select the mix of rugged imaging sensors best suited to the job (up to full 360° colour and thermal imaging coverage), while benefitting from the lower maintenance costs and ease of training inherent to modular systems with common elements.
The mission system provided by Leonardo is based on the UK-led Generic Vehicle Architecture (GVA) standard which is increasingly being adopted by other allied nations. GVA is an approach to vehiclemission system design that uses standard infrastructure and system control interfaces making it easy to train users, more straightforward to upgrade a vehicle's systems and reduces the cost of ownership by allowing mission-specific configurations and through-life upgrades. The images from the mission system's sensors are hosted on GVA multi-functional digital displays, providing low-latency digital video. Images from all sensors can be shared around the vehicle and multiple images can be displayed on screen at the user's discretion to provide maximum information to suit functional requirements.
Because of the GVA design, other mission systems such as high powered mast mounted sensors for reconnaissance and remote weapon stations for local protection can be readily integrated into the system and controlled through the existing displays, saving vital space and reducing costs for procurement, training and logistics. Most mission systems will include Leonardo's Drivers Night Vision System (DNVS4), which offers both daylight colour and thermal images to enable the driver and crew of the vehicle to operate safely and in confidence both day and night and in all weather conditions. In addition to DNVS4 and the display screens Leonardo is also providing the Citadel Panoramic and Compact cameras from its partner,Copenhagen Sensor Technologies.
DNVS4 builds upon Leonardo's extensive experience in providing situational awareness systems to the UK MOD on vehicles such as Mastiff, Ridgback, Wolfhound, Challenger and Warrior over many years. The company is also the partner of choice of the Italian Ministry of Defence for battlefield digitization programmes. A prime example is Forza NEC which develops solutions to fully integrate the different elements that make up the Armed Forces – soldiers, vehicles, platforms and systems – through the most advanced information and communication technologies.

All Revved Up for the Fate of the Furious
The ride is not over for the gang in The Fate of the Furious (F8). This franchise is still going strong since its beginnings in 2001 and even though it hit bumps along the way, I was thrown off and did not want to necessarily continue following until word of mouth coaxed me back.
Director F. Gary Gray keeps the visual action moving at a steady pace. There was never a dull moment and I had to whoop at the introduction fondly recalling how this film franchise started — all about racing — before dealing with heist scenarios and counter-espionage. While some knowledge of all the films is helpful before going to see this latest entry, at least I still remembered the basics:
Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) is an excellent racer and mechanic. Just how he winds up in subterfuge in every corner is because his skills are in demand. He values family over everything else and this key theme is emphasized in F8. When villains start messing with his amigos, he will fight back. When there are innocents being held, that's another story, and this latest film nicely slides this fact in like a motorcycle through busy traffic.
This movie quickly sets up Dom "betraying" his team. Although there's a reason behind it, he has no ability to tell his friends or even let them in on the reasons why he's gone rogue. They have to figure out what's going on in classic fashion, trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together, and it makes for a decent film of who is after whom. The puppet master is simply evil, and no huge spoilers will be revealed here.
As expected for this set of films, the highlight is in how high octane the chases get and lend value (or nostalgia) at how great those muscle cars from decades past can stand the test of time. Thankfully some of the magic is done with the aid of digital effects. If some of those actual vehicles are trashed or torn apart, I wonder how many of them were sacrificed to make this film feel realistic. This movie easily puts the chases and police car pile-ups from The Blues Brothers and its sequel to shame. Those were the benchmarks I grew up with. For recent material, thoughts of Michael Bay's Transformers came to mind because we get a broad spectrum of vehicles put on the spotlight, akin to the Autobots in vehicle mode, poised to defend against tyranny. The tight camera closeups on Vin Diesel show even the head honcho has to act for himself than for a greater good.
F8 is a beginning of a new chapter for the saga. The team has a new threat to deal with and I'm in love with her; Cipher (Charlize Theron) has it in for Dom and his team. She is a cyber-criminal with tons of mad hacking skills and I can only imagine how this series could look if it went full-on punk. While the series will always be about vehicles (cars) accomplishing the impossible, the fun with these films is in seeing how they can outdo other forms of transportation. Am I a returning fan? Hard to say. The movie makes me want to revisit Gunsmith Cats / Riding Bean manga artist Kenichi Sonoda wrote. Animated or live-action, these products are just fun filled crazy action-adventure romps about car culture and it shows.

Christmas Just Got A Little Longer Thanks To Trump's Executive Order
Evie FordhamDecember 19, 2018
Christmas just got a little longer for federal employees thanks to an executive order issued by President Donald Trump Tuesday night that excuses them from working Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve falls on a Monday in 2018, so federal workers will get a four-day weekend to celebrate the holiday as the possibility of a government shutdown looms, reported WTOP. Giving federal workers a reprieve when Christmas Day falls on a Tuesday is the norm, according to WTOP.
Trump's executive order also ensures that agency and department heads still have authority to determine if any employees need to work on Christmas Eve "for reasons of national security, defense, or other public need."
The federal government employs more than 2 million people full time excluding U.S. Postal Service employees, according to Governing.com. Roughly 80 percent of them work outside of the Washington, D.C., region.
Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush granted federal employees four-day weekends in 2012, 2007 and 2001, according to WTOP.
Meanwhile, Congress has days to avoid a partial government shutdown after a short-term continuing resolution to fund the government expires Friday. At the center of the funding battle is the border wall Trump wants to build.
The White House previously demanded $5 billion in border wall funding, an amount Democratic lawmakers said they would not give. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders seemed to indicate the Trump administration would be more willing to budge on the $5 billion figure than previously thought, during a Fox News interview Tuesday.
"I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck," Trump said on Dec. 11 during a meeting with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

I've scratchbuilt some more buildings for Farthing.
First up is this small goods shed, adapted from a prototype built by Eassie & Co. at Speech House Road station on the Severn & Wye. The contractors Eassie & Co. had an interesting history, nicely described in this PDF file by the GSIA.
The prototype had a brick base, but I decided on a timber base and a few other detail changes to suit my tastes. The roof is detachable so I can detail the interior.
The doors are modelled open so you can see what's going on inside. I like the effect but it does add to the time and cost as you have to model the interior walls and framing too.
One reason I chose this prototype was the potential for a nice view through the open doors across the tracks, in line with my preference for "see through" structures at the front of layouts.
There's also a view through the side door. The prototype had the door right up against one corner, probably to save space inside. It looked odd in model form though, so I moved it. If only the real world was so easy to change!
Here's another little building I'm working on. This is a lock-up/storage room based on a prototype at Long Marston. There was a very similar structure at Lustleigh.
My version is some 25% larger than the prototype, in order to add a bit of mass.
I normally use the Wills sheets for slate roofs, but on this lock-up I thought I'd try out the slate sheets from York Modelmaking. I have seen them used with very convincing results, not least on Iain Robinson's wonderful creations.
Unfortunately I had forgotten how sensitive paper can be to glue stains and bending/fraying at the edges. Experienced card modellers would no doubt have made a better job of it!
Here's a direct comparison between the Wills sheets (left) and the York Modelmaking strips (right) before painting.
I'm really not very happy with the roof, and may give it another try. Incidentally the prototype photo doesn't seem to show any gutters or drainpipes, which puzzles me a bit.
The buildings in place in the Old Yard at Farthing.
The shed painted and showing the see-through effect.
The lock-up on the workbench, ready to embed on the layout.


When I'm on the go and moving lightly this is definitely my go to midi controller. Simple and to the point. Two octaves no fuss. Enough said.
Measuring in at just 13 inches, LPK25 is a full-featured plug-and-play 25-key USB MIDI keyboard controller designed to escape the boundaries of your studio. Weighing in at 40g, LPK25 easily fits into a laptop case, backpack, or messenger bag, providing core keyboard-production functionality courtesy of 25 synth-action velocity-sensitive keys perfect for playing chords, pads, bass-lines and lead parts.

Answer:1)The testing should be carried out on a variety of test cases in which the patient's vitals and the specific functionalities specified regarding the robot in the above case should be closely supervised by human physicians, and the readings obtained should be checked.Until deploying the robots, the variations between the readings and the standard deviation should be taken into consideration.The robots may be launched if the margin is nil or very little.2)The concern may be that the robots are generating misleading medical records.At first, the patient would find it imp ...

Barfield Corporation prepares business plans and marketing analyses for start-up companies in the Cleveland area. Barfield has been very successful in recent years in providing effective service to a growing number of clients. The company provides its service from a single office building in Cleveland and is organized into two main client-service groups: one for market research and the other for financial analysis. The two groups have budgeted annual costs of $590,000 and $880,000, respectively. In addition, Barfield has a support staff that is organized into two main functions: one for clerical, facilities, and logistical support (called the CFL group) and another for computer-related support. The CFL group has budgeted annual costs of $162,000, while the annual costs of the computer group are $684,000. Tom Brady, CFO of Barfield, plans to prepare a departmental cost allocation for his four groups, and he assembles the following information: Percentage of estimated dollars of work and time by CFL group: 10%-service to the computer group 20%-service to market research 70%-service to financial analysis Percentage of estimated dollars of work and time by the computer group: 20%-service to the CFL group 40%-service to market research 40%-service to financial analysis Required: Determine the total cost in the financial analysis and market research groups, after departmental allocation, using (a) the direct method, (b) the step method when the sourcing department that provides the greatest percentage of services to other service departments goes first, and (c) the reciprocal method. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answers to the nearest dollar.) Market Research Financial Analysis Total Cost $ 0 a. The direct method b. The step method C.

It is known that a rectangular cross section of a reinforced concrete beam with beam width b = 300 mm and beam height h = 550 mm, concrete quality 42 Mpa and steel quality 420 Mpa, modulus of elasticity of steel 200,000 Mpa. Assume the effective height of the beam is d = 500 mm. If the beam section is analyzed as a section with single reinforcement (M+/reinforcement below): 1. Determine the amount of reinforcement area required to achieve the balanced condition and the nominal moment at the balanced condition, then the nominal moment if the ratio of reinforcement under under-reinforced condition is 0.75 times of the reinforcement value in balanced condition. 2. Determine the nominal moment if the ratio of the reinforcement in the over-reinforded condition is 1.25 times the area of the reinforcement in the balanced condition, then draw a strain diagram depicting the three conditions with each of the reinforcement areas. Write down the magnitude of the strain value and the distance c from the neutral line on the diagram, respectively. What is the stress on the steel reinforcement for each of the above conditions. Determine the approximate amount of reinforcement for the section in problem no. 1 and 2. The diameter of reinforcement that can be used is D-10, D-13, D-16, D-19, and D-22. Draw the cross section and the amount of reinforcement.

Home Health Federal Medical Center, Abeokuta Warns Against Assaults On Staff
The management of the Federal Medical Centre, Idi-aba, Abeokuta Ogun State has warned that it would no longer tolerate assault and unprovoked attacks on its staff by clients to the hospital.
Prof Adewale Musa-Olomu,
the Institution's Medical Director, handed down the warning while reacting to the latest physical attack on a Medical staff of the center by parents of a toddler.
The hospital in a statement signed by Head of Public Relations and Information, Segun Orisajo said, "A 15 months old toddler was rushed to the Children Emergency Room (CHER) by her parents on Friday 12th March 2021 at about 8.00 pm.
"On presentation, the baby had a history of severe fever of one month, weight loss of one month, irritability, and loss of head control.
The statement added that " On evaluation at the Centre, the baby was immediately taken in and necessary medical attention commenced.
He said on complaints by the parents that they were financially challenged, the management waived all the laboratory investigation bills as well as emergency medications.
"However, at about midnight the baby passed on barely four hours after arriving at the Centre.
"On hearing about the death of his daughter, her father threw caution to the wind and beat to a pulp the Medical staff who attended to her daughter, citing delay in treatment.
"The enraged man hit the doctor on the head several times with a chair before help could come his way."
Speaking on this unfortunate incident, the Medical Director sympathized with the bereaved family and attributed the loss of the toddler to late presentation.
"Something should have told the parents that keeping a baby that was losing weight with a sustained high temperature at home for a whole month was a dangerous thing to do by any parent.
" No doubt, we tried our best to save the toddler's life although the situation would have been a different one if she had presented early," the Medical Director said.
Prof.Musa-Olomu disclosed that the latest attack and assault will be the fourth on his staff in recent times.
He, therefore, warned in strong terms that henceforth, the law would be allowed to take its full course on anyone caught assaulting or assaulting any of his staff.

When global architects 3DReid were looking for a UK ceiling tile manufacturer, which was "critical" for the costing and timescale of their project, there was really only one option - Armstrong Ceilings.
But specifying Armstrong Ceilings, which has production facilities in Tyne n Wear, Stafford and Sittingbourne also came with a bonus, it being part of the global Armstrong World Industries group based in the US where 3DReid's client, United Airlines, is also based.
This enabled Armstrong's global Architectural Specialties team to deliver samples to the airline and advise them directly when it came to the complex ceiling design for the 2,000m2 United Global First Lounge the new Queen's Terminal (Terminal 2) at Heathrow airport.
This is one of two new United Airlines facilities at Heathrow's new Star Alliance terminal and gives testament to the airline's commitment to Heathrow as its hub for Europe. It reinforces their new design concept recently launched at Chicago O'Hare airport which aims to signpost passengers with distinct design elements which reflect the lounge's location.
The first carrier to operate out of the new terminal when it opened in June, United Airlines' brand is key to future lounges and 3DReid worked closely with Chicago-based practice Solomon Cordwell Buenz on designs for the interiors of the United Global First Lounge aimed at first and business class passengers.
Features include a long, sweeping bar, floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the airfield, and high-quality finishes throughout including a large Big Ben replica clock in the tea lounge section. The United Global First section had a bronze colour theme and the United Club section had a silver/chrome theme, both reflected in the ceiling choices.
Some 800m2 of Armstrong's Axiom Knife Edge 9290mm x 1200mm canopies with a mixture of perforated metal MicroLook 8 tiles in a pearl beige finish with fleece, the bespoke RH-225 hook-on ceiling system, also in pearl beige as well as brushed aluminium satin and signal white, and the Microperforated 600mm x 600mm S-Clip F swing-down tiles with fleece installed on the System 3000 concealed grid in signal white - were specified to complement this design.
3DReid's Felicity Hurling said there were a number of metallic finishes within the project and it had been critical that the ceiling tiles complemented the skirting, flooring, trims and sockets but Armstrong provided a number of iterations through design development and worked hard to achieve a finish that matched the client's design aspirations.
3DReid originally approached Armstrong due to their previous work with the practice. It was critical that they worked with a UK supplier to achieve the cost and programme requirements of the project as the construction programme was particularly tight, from July 2013 to May 2014, with the terminal opening in June 2014.
The added benefit of Armstrong being able to deliver samples and advise their clients directly had provided reassurance and a cohesive working environment.
The Armstrong systems were installed by HLS Installations for main contractor ISG Group.

Iberian Ports Brief, April 2019
Iberian Ports Brief 2019
Iberian ports moved a record 656 million tons of cargo in 2018
The Iberian port system in 2018 moved a combined total of 656 million tons of cargo, a new record. As far as containers are concerned, Iberian ports last year for the first time in history handled more than 20 million TEUs together.
Spanish ports accounted for the majority of this throughput, with a total of 563,4 million tons of cargo in 2018: 18,2 million tons or 3,35% more than in 2017. Portuguese ports on the other hand lost some market share in 2018, with all major ports posting negative growth rates. Portugal still shipped 92,6 million tons of cargo last year, but that was 3,3 million tons or 3,5% less than the previous year.
Segments that did well in Spain were both general cargo (+5,5%) as well as containers. The latter reached a grand total of 17,21 million TEU in 2018, up 7,92% compared to 2017.
Portugal 's slight downward trend can be explained by a variety of reasons. The country in 2018 imported less petroleum and related products (- 1,6 million tons) and coal (- 1,3 million tons) due to favourable climatic circumstances. The container sector hardly grew in Portugal (+ 0,5%, to 2,9 million TEU), which was caused by several strikes that especially hit the ports of Lisbon (- 13,5% TEU) and Setúbal (-19,1% TEU). The ports of Sines and Leixões however continued their upward trend in handling containers last year, scoring TEU growth rates of 4,9% and 5,5% respectively.
The ro-ro sector did well in Iberian ports. In Spain, ro-ro shipping grew towards 61,94 million tons handled last year, a plus of 6,67%. In Portugal ro-ro cargo grew by 11,1%, reaching 1,6 million tons.
Last year's results also lead to several changes in our yearly ranking of the Iberian ports top 20. A table showing the new figures and ranking can be found below.
Algeciras is still firmly the leader of the pack and continues to grow. The port last years handled more than 107 million tons, which means Algeciras is Europe's fourth port in cargo throughput. Valencia is still in second place in Iberia, but with moderate growth. Faster growth is taking place in neighbouring Castellón (+18,02%). Castellón went up two spots in our Iberian ranking for last year and now occupies the number 10 position among Iberian ports.
The port of Barcelona is growing fastest in absolute terms and added some 6,4 million tons of cargo last year (a 10,6% growth rate). The Catalan port is rapidly closing in on Valencia. Sines remained in fourth place, though it lost more than 4%, mainly liquid and other bulk cargo last year. Bilbao did well and moved up to fifth position. Cartagena, Gijón, Leixões, Tenerife and Setúbal all dropped a spot on last year's ranking, while Huelva, Ferrol and Almeria all managed to move up one spot.
Not showing up in the ranking below - but still worth mentioning - are the smaller ports of Motril (up 20,78% last year) and Aveiro. The latter barely missed making it into the Iberian Top 20 after an excellent year of growth.
