The Positions
There are nine players on each team during a baseball game, however, baseball rosters usually include 25 players so that those nine players may rotate within the game and from game to game throughout the baseball season. Player rotation is very strategic because coaching staff will carefully examine the team's schedule to determine which players should play which games. Within games, players may be substituted, but these are permanent substitutions, meaning that the player who is substituted out of the game may not return for the remainder of the game.
The following descriptions apply to the nine players' positions on defense:
Position Players
BASEBALL POSITIONS. Click to enlarge.
Catcher (C): This player lines up behind home plate and catches the ball that is thrown by the pitcher. He also has the best vantage point of the entire field, so he typically calls the pitches using hand signals. He is also the last line of defense in getting a player out before he reaches home plate. Famous catchers include Buster Posey (San Francisco Giants), Yadier Molina (St. Louis Cardinals), and Jonathan Lucroy (Milwaukee Brewers).
Infielders:
First Baseman (1B), Second Baseman (2B), and Third Baseman (3B): These players line up near their respective bases on the baseball diamond and try to get out base runners. The 1B and 3B in particular must have quick reflexes to try to catch balls that are hit along the foul lines. Third base is often referred to as "the hot corner" and first base is "the other hot corner."
Shortstop (SS): These are players that line up between second and third base. They specialize in defense, so they are usually fairly poor batters and will line up near the end of the batting order.
Famous infielders include Miguel Cabrera (1B, Detroit Tigers), Albert Pujols (1B, Los Angeles Angels), Robinson Cano (2B, Seattle Mariners), Adrian Beltre (3B, Texas Rangers), Troy Tulowitzki (SS, Toronto Blue Jays), and Jose Reyes (SS, Colorado Rockies).
Outfielders:
Left Fielder (LF), Center Fielder (CF), and Right Fielder (RF): These players will line up farthest from the batter, in the grassy outfield to catch fly balls (balls hit high in the air). The CF is generally the fastest and most agile because he has to cover the gaps in the center of the field.
Famous outfielders include Bryce Harper (Washington Nationals), Mike Trout (Los Angeles Angels), and Andrew McCutchen (Pittsburgh Pirates).
Pitcher (P): The player who throws or "pitches" the ball towards the catcher with the goal of striking out the batter. He is often considered the most important defensive player. There are starting pitchers (those that begin and throw for a majority of the game) and relief pitchers (those that enter the game after the first pitch to relieve the starting pitcher). Famous pitchers include Clayton Kershaw (Los Angeles Dodgers), Max Scherzer (Washington Nationals), and David Price (Boston Red Sox).
Starting pitchers: These pitchers throw for a long portion of the game and require rest between games, so there are usually 4-6 starting pitchers so that they can be rotated throughout the season. The best starting pitcher is called the ace.
Relief pitchers: These pitchers enter the game strategically, late in the game, after the starting pitchers start to fatigue. There are a few different types of relief pitchers including:
Closer (CL): Usually the team's best relief pitcher, who specializes in getting batters out in the final innings.
Setup Relief Pitcher: A pitcher who regularly pitches after the starting pitcher and before the closer. This is usually the second best relief pitcher, and may get promoted to closer.
Middle Relief Pitchers: A pitcher who will relieve the starting pitcher to play a few innings, and will likely be relieved by another relief pitcher. He may continue to pitch for some of the later innings if the game is not close.
Left-Handed Specialist: This pitcher throws left-handed and specializes in pitching to left-handed batters. He may also throw to poor right-handed batters.
Long Reliever: A pitcher who enters the game in an early inning of the game, if the starting pitcher must leave the game early.
The team's same nine players must bat when the team is on offense. The players will cycle through a particular batting order, with each player batting once and recycling back through in the same order, whenever the team is on offense.
At times, a team may permanently substitute a pinch hitter for a player in the batting order. The pinch hitter is usually a back-up infielder or outfielder that will be used in the later innings of the game to substitute for a pitcher, because pitchers are usually some of the worst batters. In the American League (one of Major League Baseball's two conferences), designated hitters are allowed to bat in place of the pitcher in the batting line-up throughout the game, for exactly this reason. However, designated hitters are not permitted in the National League (the other MLB conference), so they must carefully substitute in pinch hitters.


Blake Shinn needed just 56.55 seconds to return to the winner's circle in a dream comeback from a life-threatening neck injury.
Shinn charged home on two-year-old first-starter Dawn Passage in the first at Randwick and immediately looked to the heavens after the winning post.
While not a religious man, Shinn told The Sun-Herald he was a big believer in fate and was delighted his five months of hard work to get back in the saddle was immediately rewarded.
The 31-year-old also pointed out that he booted home a winner on his first day back at work when he returned from a betting disqualification.
"You can't ask for a better start, it's the kind of start you can dream of,'' Shinn said.
A lot of things have happened the last five months, and it's all come together. I really believe things happen for a reason.
"A lot of things have happened the last five months, and it's all come together.
"I really believe things happen for a reason.
"When I think about my life and who I've become, there's someone looking down on me.
"We won the Melbourne Cup [on Viewed] by a whisker, missed out on a Golden Slipper winner [Sebring] because of suspension, came back and won the Slipper [on Capitalist], and I could have lost my life in a fall only to walk away with a broken neck.
"I remember I came back from my betting disqualification, and my second ride on my first day back I won on Tellora at Sandown.
"I won a race for Wendy Walter on her last day of training with I've Got The Looks, and that was a tribute to [the late] Guy Walter.
Shinn was speared into the turf during a Randwick trial in August and fractured his C1 and C3 vertabrae. Only two per cent of people who suffered his injury avoided being a quadriplegic.
Shinn went to bed at 10pm on Friday and gave himself a rare Saturday off from trackwork. He weighed in at 55.5kg, a comfortable weight for him he said.
"When I put my head on the pillow I said to myself, 'I can not have done any more to prepare myself for today','' Shinn said.
One member of the crowd yelled out ''welcome back, my boy'', as Shinn smiled upon returning to scale. Shinn kissed the hand of former Australian Turf Club board member Wilf Mula.
Gai Waterhouse has always been a big supporter of Shinn and praised the hard work he had put in to return.
"It just felt like I was coming back to work and I felt very calm and relaxed, not nervous – it felt like another day at the races, which is great,'' he said.
It was a rollercoaster week for one of the country's best jockeys as the family were forced to close down their stables in Victoria because of the cobalt saga. The Hope racing stable tweeted they were ''bursting with pride'' within minutes of Shinn kicking home Dawn Passage.
Dawn Passage and Shinn were camped in the middle of the pack before the gaps opened and the colt showed brilliant speed to put three lengths on his rivals.
Shinn gave Tom Melbourne a dream ride and looked the winner 300m out. He was the first jockey to ride Tom Melbourne when he arrived at Chris Waller's stable and recalled getting pipped on the post, so it was nice for both of them to redeem themselves.


Today is the 145th Birthday of Canada. In my 34 years, I have been fortunate enough to have lived in, or traveled to (or through) 8 of our 10 provinces, & came damn close to making it to one of our 3 territories.
Both of my parents are from Newfoundland, & I was born in Scarborough, Ontario. I spent my first few years there, before my family moved to Edmonton, Alberta. By the time I was 3, I had seen the majestic Rocky Mountains (while wearing a Newfoundland shirt!), & some really short shorts on a guy.
When I was 5, we moved to the US, where we lived in Pennsylvania & Delaware for the next 5 years. The clearest memory I have of my early childhood is loudly proclaiming "I'm Canadian" when my Kindergarten teacher would say something like, "As Americans, we..."
The first time I learned that life isn't fair was when I got kicked out of my Grade 1 Spelling Bee. Not because I spelled something wrong - because I spelled "blaze" with a "zed" & not a "zee". My teacher insisted "zed" wasn't a real letter & I went home in tears. I'm still bitter about it.
We moved back to Canada in 1988. Now, it is well documented that most Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border. We moved closer to a different border...the border of Manitoba & what is now Nunavet, but at the time was part of the Northwest Territories.
My Father, an engineer, had been transferred to Sundance, Manitoba to work on the Limestone Dam on the Nelson River. Sundance was north of Gillam, along the Nelson River; it was built for the workers & their families, next to Bird, Reserve Land for the Fox Lake Cree Nation. It was comprised of trailers, an elementary school (made of trailers), a recreation complex, a small post office, grocer, & not much else.
Snowman building outside of our home. May, 1988.
The view down our street after we moved into our Double-Wide. Hells yeah.
Sundance had extreme weather conditions. It was freezing for 10 months straight, then immediately scorching & overrun with flies for the other 2. I say "was" because Sundance is now not only a ghost town - there are hardly any traces of it left. Sundance was meant to last only for the duration of the Dam project; Once it was completed, the town was dismantled. It's terribly sad, & quite surreal to see that only a footprint of this once lively community still exists.
Two very happy years of my life were spent in Sundance, despite the tragedy of my cancelled 10th Birthday Party due to a blizzard (on June 29th). I had good friends. I sang in my first choir. There were forests to explore, with weekly spottings of Arctic Foxes & Ptarmigans. One day, recess was cancelled because a bear was scratching its back on a tree outside (maybe those forest explorations were ill-advised). Our class never had a field trip to a zoo; We traveled to Churchill to see Polar Bears in the wild. I learned more about Canada`s Native history & community in my 2 years there then I did in all my Canadian History classes. I learned how to make bannock, & tried rabbit stew, & caribou meat. And the stars...you can't even imagine the stars. I walked with traditional snowshoes, tobogganed at The Pits, & participated in the Bike Rodeo & watched River Raft Races (which I now recognize as a dangerous combination of homemade rafts & beer).
And now it stands still. I can see the route where I rode my bike faster than I ever had, to escape the onslaught of black flies. I can see the path I took through waist-high snow to go to school. I can clearly see Park Road & Tamarack Bay, the 2 streets we lived on - I know which lots were ours. I almost wish this Google Earth image had been taken when Sundance was covered in snow so it wouldn't be quite so heartbreaking.
One thing that makes me happy is this post I found a few weeks back: the Sundance Recreation Centre had been purchased by the Southern Manitoba town of Pilot Mound. It has since been refurbished & is now home to a hockey arena, curling rink & daycare...not unlike its days in Sundance, where I learned to figure skate & play arcade games.
A small piece of Sundance lives on.
In 1989, we moved from Sundance to a town outside of Toronto, Ontario. My family has been here ever since. This province has its own majesty. Niagara Falls & the surrounding wine country. Muskoka. The gorgeous cobblestone streets & Parliament buildings in Ottawa. Toronto: the enormous city I'm happy to be only 30 minutes away from. World-class theatre, music, art, sports, food...I am lucky.
View of the downtown core from a rooftop patio in Toronto...just beautiful.
There is but one other place in this beautiful country where I truly feel like I'm home: Newfoundland. My parents both hail from this island, so we would make a trip "home" once every 2 or 3 years. I have many family members living there, in the St. John's area, & in a small bay town, St. Alban's.
Traveling to Newfoundland was always an ordeal - my Mother is no fan of flying, so we would drive through Quebec, New Brunswick, & Nova Scotia, crossing on a ferry. It took several days, depending on where we were coming from, but it was beautiful. Stopping in a francophone New Brunswick town, watching the landscape of Nova Scotia as I listened to early R.E.M. on my Sony Walkman, & somehow it fit. We would inevitably arrive tired, smelly & cranky. Yet, we were greeted with such warmth & hospitality that I just knew this was my family, even if I hadn't seen them in years. I think this is the feeling everyone gets from Newfoundlanders - I'm just lucky enough to actually be related.
The long road trips? They were worth it.
The scenery is stunning, the people & memories, more so.
Happy Birthday, Canada. My home & native land.
What a beautiful post...does it make me a loser that I'm sitting in my living room all by myself, choking up with teary eyes as I read this!? And happy belated birthday!!
Well written. Brings back memories of the rec center. From a freckles heckler.

Is the best waterproof grill covers worth the bucks? This type of grill cover is actually one of the best-sellers, thanks to its excellent water-wicking characteristics. It also prevents moisture buildup inside to ensure that the appliance will not develop rust or mildew.
Usually, water-resistant covers are also weatherproof and rip-resistant. Since these are made from durable material, it tends to last longer than other pieces. So should you get one? The answer is yes.
Be it for heavy snow and rains, a waterproof grill cover should be able to wick the moisture. To do this, the material has to be durable and tolerant of temperature extremes. It should provide warmth during winter while keeping your grill cool during summer.

Architects fret over MDDA choice of 'expensive' software
The old system of online submission of maps at the MDDA is currently in a transition phase as it is being transferred to a new improved online system.

MDDA vice chairperson Ashish Kumar Srivastava, however, refuted the allegations saying that the software in question is being used by all development authorities in the state.(HT FILE/REPRESENTATIVE PIC)
Dehradun: Architects in Dehradun have protested against Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority (MDDA), for asking them to follow a particular software for submitting online maps, alleging that it was "quite expensive" as compared to the other softwares currently being used by them.
The old system of online submission of maps at the MDDA is currently in a transition phase as it is being transferred to a new improved online system. During a training for the new system at the MDDA on December 5, a delegation of architects protested against being asked to "exclusively use the expensive software even when much cheaper options" were available. The new system is likely to be launched in about a week's time.
"This monopoly recommended by the MDDA for software use is unfair. The software is very expensive and other competent softwares are reasonably priced. It will be almost impossible to submit a file for an architect who is a newcomer and can't afford to buy this exclusive software," said Vinay Singh, secretary Uttarakhand Architects' Association, adding that the company in question had also carried out raids in Dehradun of late, to check the use of its pirated software.
MDDA vice chairperson Ashish Kumar Srivastava, however, refuted the allegations saying that the software in question is being used by all development authorities in the state. "First of all, MDDA has not selected the company. We are only following instructions from the Uttarakhand Urban and Housing Development Authority (UHUDA), which has asked us and other agencies in the state to follow this software. The company was chosen under ease of doing business mandate after following all due norms and procedure," said Srivastava.
"If the system is being followed at other development authorities in Uttarakhand, then what is the problem in using it here?" he said, adding that the MDDA did not have anything to do with the private raids, if any, conducted by the company. "Still if there are any other concerns of architects, we are open to discuss and resolve them," said Srivastava.

Stop the spinning with vestibular rehabilitation
Retirement is a time to relax, spend time with friends and family, travel, volunteer, and enjoy your favorite activities.
Wonewoc, Wis., resident Diane Field was savoring retirement—reading and relaxing at home, keeping up with her two sons, Dan and Doug, and her eight grandchildren, and enjoying the thrill of the casino— when a sudden onset of vertigo interrupted her plans in summer 2018.
"It came on really suddenly. I woke up one morning and I was like, 'Whoa…something's not right,' " Diane remembers. Vertigo is a common disorder of the vestibular system—the inner ear and part of the body's balance system.
Vertigo is known to trigger a spinning or moving sensation, often making people feel nauseous, unsteady, uncoordinated and like they're floating or rocking.
"It wasn't constant, but sometimes I would get this dizzy feeling," Diane says. "You almost walk like you're intoxicated…not steady on your feet."
Diane's vertigo came and went that summer, but when she stepped out of her truck to pick berries one day with her husband and suffered a dizzy spell, Diane decided it was time to do something about it.
At her annual physical, Diane mentioned the vertigo and was referred to vestibular rehabilitation with Mark Sullivan, PT, Gundersen St. Joseph's Hospital.
Not knowing what to expect, Diane admits that the fear of the unknown was the hardest part of her rehab experience. Yet, after her first session, Diane's life quickly returned to normal with immediate relief from the dizziness.
"It was like a miracle. I think of Mark as the 'vertigo whisperer.' He got the crystals back in alignment that first day," Diane says. "I went back two more times to make sure all was fine, and he gave me some exercises to work on my balance that was not good at the time."
For vertigo cases like Diane's, Mark checks for mismatches between the ears and canals during vestibular rehab. A procedure that uses gravity gets the crystals back into place.
"If the vertigo is related to the crystals in the ear, patients often see success in one to two treatments," Sullivan says. "If a patient has been suffering with vertigo for a while, it can take longer. Usually though, relief is rapid, which is fun to see."
While the vestibular rehabilitation experience can differ depending on a patient's type of vertigo and other factors, Diane recommends anyone with vertigo or dizziness try vestibular rehab.
"Vertigo is an annoying thing, and most of the time it's not going to go away on its own. If you have a way to get rid of it in one to two treatments, it's worth it," she says.
Contact Gundersen St. Joseph's Hospital at (608) 489-8260 to schedule an appointment for your dizziness and see whether vestibular rehabilitation may be a solution for you.
What is vestibular rehabilitation?
Vestibular rehabilitation is a type of physical therapy that can help relieve dizziness symptoms caused by a vestibular disorder. Common causes include:
Ear infections or inflammation
Fluid buildup in the inner ear
Rapid change in motion or position
Some medications
Result of a stroke
Testing is conducted to see what is causing the dizziness. Treatment often includes repositioning the crystals in the ear or assisting other systems in the body to help compensate for vestibular problems.

Wound-healing Waves
Researchers find a complex interplay among cells, which guides them to where they need to go.

How do cells in our bodies ask for directions? Without any maps to guide them, they still know where to go to heal wounds and renew our bodies. Edouard Hannezo and his group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) together with Tsuyoshi Hirashima and his group at Kyoto University just published a new study in Nature Physics that shows how mechanical and chemical waves coordinate the movement of cells.
Many cells in our bodies are on the move and somehow seem to "know" where to go. But how do they learn the location of their destination? This question is key to understanding phenomena such as the renewal of cells in our body, the migration of cancer cells, and especially how wounds heal. Edouard Hannezo and his group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) in collaboration with Tsuyoshi Hirashima and his student at Kyoto University propose a new model of information transfer in which cells utilize long-distance traveling waves in a self-organized manner to close a wound. This study was recently published in the journal Nature Physics.
The researchers built a mathematical model to describe the interactions within a layer of cells on a substrate, similar to a layer of skin. These cells contain chemical signalers—proteins—that allow them to sense other cells around them, so whether they are pushed or pulled, and to control their own movement. What the scientists found is that the intricate interplay of cell movement, sensing of the environment, and states of protein activation within the cells combine to create coupled mechanical and chemical traveling waves in which directional information is encoded.

Feedback loops
The mechanical wave appears as denser and sparser regions of cells alternating in space and time. The chemical wave appears as protein activity and is triggered by cell movement and mechanical feedback. The cells' chemistry in turn drives cell shape changes and movement closing a feedback loop with cell mechanics. In this coupled system these mechanical and chemical waves arise spontaneously due to feedback and amplification.
In a normal unwounded layer of cells, these waves propagate without a preferred direction, but when an artificial wound is introduced on one side, waves re-orient to propagate exclusively away from the wound. The researchers thus hypothesized that the waves could be a communication tool, allowing cells very far from the wound—and thus not directly "seeing" it—to sense which way to go.
Reading the Waves
A density wave makes the neighbors of a cell push and pull on it along the direction in which the wave is traveling. Since the forces exerted on the cell are equal and opposite between the crests and troughs of each wave, the result is that the cell just moves small distances back and forth without any net motion. In effect, the cell has no way of knowing the direction the wave came from and thus has no information about the location of the wound.
This is where the second wave of protein activity comes in. It hits the cell slightly after the density wave due to the delay that it takes for proteins to activate. And because protein activity controls the speed at which the cells move, a delay between the two waves allows for cells to move quickly when being pulled in the direction of the wound, and slowly when being pushed away. In this way, cells can break symmetry and start to move in the preferred direction towards the wound.
Out-of-equilibrium Experiments
The researchers at Kyoto University observed this out-of-equilibrium behavior of wound healing during in vitro experiments with real cells on a substrate. They used a novel microscopy technique to allow them to measures protein activity within each cell: the protein was modified so that it lit up when activated thus revealing waves of protein activation propagating throughout the cell layer. The researchers were able to quantitatively predict the wave patterns, which they then also observed experimentally. More strikingly, they also found that the delay between the two waves was close to the theoretically predicted optimum for allowing cells to extract maximum information from the waves.
This mechanism of self-organization is remarkable for allowing robust and spontaneous communication of direction over large distances within cell layers. It demonstrates one way in which coordinated behavior can arise in our bodies helping them to heal and grow.

Mario Party Superstars set for release in Q4 2021!!!
19Jun 2021 19 Jun 2021
Apparently, WarioWare: Get It Together is not the only party game that we will be getting for the Switch console later this year. It was recently revealed at Nintendo's E3 2021 event that the world is going to see another Mario Party game sooner than expected. At Nintendo's E3 2021 Presentation it was revealed that Mario Party Superstars will be coming to the Nintendo Switch in October 2021. The game will be developed by NDCube and published by Nintendo and will have a somewhat of a retro based tone it. According to Nintendo Mario Party Superstars will include five remastered maps from some of the earliest installments within the series that appeared on the N64. The question as to why Mario Party Superstars is its own separate game opposed to to DLC for Super Mario Party from '18 is unknown. However, for those who have grown tried of Super Mario Party the upcoming release of Super Mario Superstars is a good thing. Aside from having at least one hundred mini games with a few remastered retro maps there is little that we know about Super Mario SuperStars. There have been a few levels that has been confirmed to appear on Super Mario Superstars.
This upcoming game will feature classic Mario Party levels including "Space Land" along with "Peach's Birthday Cake". It has also been confirmed that Birdo from Super Mario Bros 2 will return as a playable character in Super Mario Superstars; following her absence in Super Mario Party. Since Mario Party Superstars will not be available for the Switch until October 29th; its certain that Nintendo will reveal a ton of details about the upcoming game within the next few months. Its also save assume that main characters like Mario, Peach, Bowser and Luigi will be returning in Mario Party SuperStars later this year. Its also possible that Mario Party SuperStars might have added DLC following its release in October 2021 if Nintendo decides to remaster more retro stages from the N64 era of the Mario Party series.

The Hartford Courant reports that Northland Investment Corp. is the prospective owner of the UFL franchise that would call Hartford home.
"It is not certain whether the franchise will be Hartford based and it is entirely premature to state that the team will be playing at Rentschler Field." -statement from Northland Investment Corp.
Huyghue also said that the New York team would play the Met's new home, CitiField – an assertion denied by the Mets.
The locations of UFL franchises appear to be speculative at this stage. For Hartford fans, a wait and see approach is recommended. Nevertheless, does anyone have any ideas for a team name?
« Manny Being Manny or Boras Being Boras?
How about the Hartford Hallucinations, since the prospect of this team ever playing a down of football is nothing more than a delusion… a mirage… a figment of Larry Gottesdeiner's imagination. Besides, how likely is it that the state government is going to allow a team that will compete against UConn Huskies football for ticket-buying customers and corporate sponsors to use state-owned Rentschler Field as a home?

The capacity for futures work to help address "super wicked" (or just "wicked") problems
May 17, 2013 / 1 Comment
Over the last week or so I've come to realise a lot of my reading and thinking has an implicit focus, which I ought to make much more explicit. That is: the capacity of futures work (or "applied foresight" or "futures research" as many folk call it) to help us to more effectively address complex twenty-first century problems. Sometimes they're called "super wicked" problems, or just "wicked" problems. Others like Otto Scharmer refer to "hyper complex" problems.
Interestingly, the famous 1973 paper that introduced the concept of "wicked problems" made the (then) novel argument that decision tools should be developed based on the type of problem that is faced (e.g. by policy makers) and their key features.
This line of inquiry, then, continues this search and broad approach. First, some definitions:
-According to Scharmer a 'hyper complex problem' is characterised by: dynamic complexity (cause and effect are distant in time and space; it's hard to properly grasp the problem from first-hand experience); social complexity (conflicting worldviews, cultures and interests among the key stakeholders; those involved see things very differently); and emergent complexity (or 'generatively complex' in Adam Kahane's terms), that is they unfold in unpredictable and unfamiliar ways.
-A 'super wicked problem' is said to have four key features that makes it more challenging that an ordinary 'wicked problem' (see this paper): time is running out (i.e. urgency); those who cause the problem also seek to provide a solution; the central authority needed to address it is weak or non-existent; and, partly as a result, policy responses discount the future irrationally. In addressing such problems the authors contend that we need to find new ways of intervening in the tendency to give more weight to immediate interests over long-term interests (echoing many others).
The latter issue is core to Dennis Meadows' distinction between easy and difficult problems
A pessimistic perspective (or, perhaps, realistic?)
Adapt by Tim Harford (Abacus books, 2011) can be read as a 300 page long argument against foresight. The book focusses on the challenge of dealing with complex problems in a complex world, arguing "the more complex and elusive our problems are, the more effective trial and error becomes, relative to the alternatives" (p.35). Its messages are similar to Reframe by Eric Knight. Harford questions assumptions about planning and the "planner's dream" (of the capacity to calculate the best decisions or even the future through ever-more data rich modelling and analysis), which he describes as a seductive vision we should move on from but can't seem to. That point made me think of "big data" evangelists and the emergence of new forms of predictive analytics.
Several headings in the opening chapter tell some of the story: e.g. 'The experts are humbled', 'We are blinder than we think', and so on. He challenges "the story we tell ourselves about how change happens: that the solution to any problem is a new leader with a new strategy" (p.59) – a football club sacking its coach, the buzz when President Obama was elected – arguing in reality, in most cases, such as those highlighted from US military strategy, "it is impossible to know in advance what the correct strategy will be" (p.65). Besides, the constantly changing nature of many problems and their wider landscape (e.g. the market you're competing in, or the battlefield being fought on, and so on) strongly militate against foresight – that's the central argument, anyway.
He adapts the related metaphor of a "fitness landscape" from evolutionary theory. It goes like this: imagine a landscape of possible solutions for a particular problem (each solution taking a 'square' on this landscape), and the better the solution the higher the altitude of the square it contains — creating a jumble of cliffs, summits (good solutions), and valleys (bad solutions). In an economy, or a biological ecosystem, the peaks keep moving and changing in ever-shifting landscapes, and "as one peak subsides, others may not be clearly visible" (p.15). He asserts:
Evolution is effective because, rather than engaging in an exhaustive, time-consuming search for the highest peak – a peak that may not even be there tomorrow – it produces ongoing 'works for now' solutions to a complex and ever-changing set of problems (p.16)
This argument immediately brought to my mind the continual development of energy technologies and the characteristics of modern energy systems and energy usage — which problematises any "blueprint" of a low or zero carbon energy future. When someone creates a detailed vision and proposal it's soon out-of-date as energy trends change, technologies evolve, and new ideas emerge. It is a strong argument against rigid visions; however, advocacy requires closure.
In also reminds me of Nate Silver's response to the question 'are we getting better at forecasting the future?' He said: "as-a-whole not by a lot, maybe a little bit at a time. Technology gradually improves, and scientific knowledge becomes more complete, but it's still very incomplete relative to the scope of questions that we have. And in some things, and in human endeavour, society becomes more complex, so you might have better methods, arguably, and more data, but you're also are running against a moving target when the system itself becomes more complicated."
Harford often adopts and adapts evolutionary perspectives. E.g. "In biological evolution, the evolutionary process has no foresight. It is the result of pure trial and error over hundreds of millions of years. Could that also be true in an economy, despite the best efforts of managers, corporate strategists and management consultants?" (p.17). He draws on research suggesting effective planning and leadership is far rarer than we think in the modern world.
(NOTE: the argument made is a stark contrast with some key perspectives in the 'wicked problems' literature. The latter argues that, when addressing these problems, there is little or no opportunity to learn from trial-and-error, moreover, that there is little opportunity to be 'wrong').
Optimistic perspectives
The group of scholars that first argued climate change should be characterised as a 'super wicked problem' also argue that an 'applied forward reasoning' orientation is needed to address this new class of problem (see paper). Such forward reasoning involves "looking forwards in time to elucidate how generating path dependencies might foster desired policy outcomes in the future" (p.124) – the operative word being 'how'. They further argue that this can help to "nurture "a policy process in which our long-term interests gain sway over our short-term interests (p.129).
Like Tim Harford, the author of Adapt, they are critical of conventional policy analysis tools that "assume a relatively linear and predictable world" and attempts at probabilistic prediction. They assert that 'super wicked problems' "occur in open, non-linear systems, where human beings may also interact in reflective and unpredictable ways to change their environment" (p.139). However, rather than abandon forward-looking analysis, they call for more effort to "reason forward to how the problem and interventions might unfold over time", e.g. via scenario-building. They then proceed to identify different causal processes through which interventions to create "low emissions" pathways could potentially 'work' (e.g. lock-in, self-reinforcing, increasing returns, and positive feedback) and, crucially, specify 'logics' which can be incorporated into scenario building.
The stated purpose of scenario analysis is as follows: to "assess whether there is a plausible logic that an intervention, or set of interventions, is likely to unleash a path-dependent process that can change behaviour before the time runs out to address the super wicked problem in question" (p.132). They stress the need "to consider non-linear and unfolding causal, yet unpredictable, policy trajectories" (p.138) and to pay attention to potential indirect or unintended effects.
In making this argument they also contend that single-shot "big bang" policies are the wrong way to go, due to the likelihood of producing "shocks" that hamper implementation and compliance and the difficulty gaining adequate support for paradigmatic change. Accordingly, they call for "progressive incrementalism" in which policy development occurs in smalls steps which accumulate to produce significant results. In this respect they are in agreement with Harford.
Transformative Scenario Planning by Adam Kahane (Berrett-Koehler, 2012) also sits in the optimistic category. Kahane's book addresses the 'hyper complex' problems characterised by Otto Scharmer, and frames the transformative scenario method as an application of Scharmer's "theory U process" (pp.22-23). Whilst Kahane clearly states that there are no "sure bets" when dealing with such problems in complex social systems, he also states the following:
The transformative scenario planning is one of a family of stories about how to transform social systems collaboratively… Transformative scenario planning is a particularly effective way for a team of actors to generate collaborative forward movement on a complex, stuck, problematic situation (pp.91-92)
In essence, Kahane is calling for a shift from using scenario planning as aid for 'adaptive' planning and strategies (e.g. for risk management) to using scenario planning as a process to influence the future (an 'activist' orientation). How this occurs is not addressed in-detail; the main ideas are that the process of scenario-building helps to relax and evolve our mental models, and that, when done collaboratively, this can help actors to work effectively and creatively with diverse others. A further claim is the scenarios can change deeper myths and metaphors (a possible link to Causal Layered Analysis [CLA]) and even become myths (p.90). See Chapter 8, titled 'New Stories Can Generate New Realities'. The main success stories to support these views are Kahane's work in conflict-filled countries in the process of complex transitions such as South Africa and Columbia.
Kahane's argument is consistent with broader arguments about the 'internal' dimensions of change. For example, Alex Steffen has argued that the process of creating zero carbon cities is "is first and foremost a struggle of vision". Similarly, Sohail Inayatullah has pioneered forms of "narrative foresight" (that's his term), which focusses on the 'exploration and creation of alternative and preferred futures and the worldviews and myths/metaphors that underlie them'. It has a particular focus on the deepest layer of CLA – that is, on deep myths and metaphors.
The book also led me to consider other forms of collaborative planning and what could be called 'anticipatory coordination' (a term coined by Arie Rip). For example, the semiconductor industry is famous for its use of technological roadmapping exercises, a process that is sponsored by the five leading chip manufacturing regions in the world (Europe, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and the United States). STS scholars have argued that 'Moore's Law' should be viewed as a "self-fulfilling prophecy" and not as a "prediction" in-part because of influential planning exercises like these. Additionally, because industry players expect Moore's Law to continue the planning and R&D become framed by these expectations, also contributing to the emergence of such future pathways.
Finally, some futures scholars have suggested that complexity theory might be used to strengthen scenario analysis (rather than to critique it) – albeit with a shift away from probability analysis and, instead, a focus on 'plausibility-based scenario practices'. This new type of scenario might address some of the concerns of skeptics like Tim Harford, but I doubt it. Nonetheless, this work indicates how a richer theoretical grounding could be developed to improve futures practices.
Additional perspectives and thoughts
A few key themes stand out for further reflection and scholarly consideration:
Assumptions about change and 'change management' in complex systems: On the one hand, those harnessing complexity thinking and engaging with the indeterminacy of the future are questioning these. (Also see the great paper 'Coping with chaos in change processes' co-authored by Arie Rip). Indeed Kahane states "the mystery at the heart of transformative scenario planning is that we cannot know the future. We can investigate it and influence it, but we cannot calculate or control it" (p.96). On the other hand, futures scholars and practitioner suggest we can do better than the trial-and-error approaches championed by Harford.
The limits of the dominant "prophetic tradition" of sustainable development (which has a predictive orientation), as epitomised by the likes of Paul Ehrlich and, more recently, Jorgen Randers (in his book 2052: A Global Forecast for the Next Forty Years) and Paul Gilding (in The Great Disruption). The literature on 'super wicked', 'wicked' problems, and complexity theory and thinking – emphasising non-linearity, open systems, uncertainty and chaos – problematises this approach, along with new tools utilising increasing computational power and data gathering to 'calculate' the future. Recently, we've seen the re-emergence of strong prophetic aspects to environmental discourses and science, which some argue represents the re-emergence of 'environmental determinism'. As futures studies emerged as, in part, a critique of determinism and deterministic future projections foresight practitioners are critical of such trends. (Full disclosure: I am critical of these trends; however, I recognise the need to more proactively consider the future to address sustainability risks. It's a tough balancing act).
The emergent ideas of the "optimists camp" perhaps provide an initial outline of the "new domains of praxis" called for by scholars like Mike Hulme
Change processes are a central concern in formulating and enacting responses to 'super wicked problems' and 'wicked problems'. Many current global environmental problems, e.g. climate change, require consideration of the medium-term and longer-term future, raising the second issue.
It is also important to consider the potential utility of different futures techniques for better addressing the challenges raised by the 'pessimists camp' and other scholars. For example, the 'futures wheel' technique could assist with anticipating non-linear and unintended effects from planning interventions. Changes to the ever-evolving "fitness landscape" (the evolutionary theory metaphor) might be better spotted and considered via horizon scanning or trend analysis.
Some of these ideas are discussed in the following paper I published last year: McGrail, S. 2012, "Cracks in the System': Problematisation of the Future and the Growth of Anticipatory and Interventionist Practices', Journal of Futures Studies, vol. 16, no. 3 (March), pp. 21-46.

China Focus: Legislative efforts highlighted in wristband lovepromoting rule of law
80S Retro Garments: Stocking Stuffer Christmas Gift Suggestions For Her Choosing the proper toys for your youngsters at Christmas isn"t often effortless! We all know how fickle they can be, loving something 1 moment and wanting to return it when you actually get it for them! Madonna was one of the most well-liked rock divas in the 80s. You can produce an 80s Madonna Halloween costume with a pair of black pants or a black skirt, a lace bodice best and black leather jacket with gold accents. Get plenty of customized bracelets, extended chains and beaded necklaces with religious pendants and lace gloves. Use a curling iron or sizzling rollers to curl your hair. Add prolonged dangling earrings. Dress in a black belt with a gold buckle. Then tease it upward and use lots of headbands or a bandanna and hair spray to hold it in area. Include a huge hair bow to make your 80s Madonna costume complete. After dropping Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams had no troubles choosing up the ball and carry it for more than a hundred yards and a pair of touchdowns and an acquiring touchdown. Chad Henne is appearing to be successful and the offense is acquiring stronger as the year continues. Buffalo, on the other hand, hasn"t appeared to be doing considerably on both side of the ball. Their defense isn"t acquiring the job accomplished. The offense has a broad receiver, but nobody to throw the ball to him. Soon after posting a 197 yard game, Terrell Owens appears as however he can be the wristband maker this week, but Fitzpatrick wants to get the ball to him 1st. There are a variety of factors that you can do in buy to make your get together visitors bear in mind the occasion they invested with you. Tons of folks like to make up coffee mugs with phrases or images on them and other people like to make customized printed shirts with the date and the kind of event it was. These are the two great tips even so they are quite outdated and not numerous guests discover them remarkable any longer. The 1 factor that every person likes these days and loves to present off and put on is customized wristbands. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the 4th Thursday every November. It is usually a family members & friends day, then sharing the factors you"ve been thankful for the yr. Wristbands can come into perform as effectively on this specific day by giving your loved ones some cheap wristbands that says "Thank you" or "Thank you God, I"m grateful", and you bet to see the smiles on their faces. If you want to raise cash for a lead to this Christmas, you can do it. Just go to an on the internet wristband keep and order wristbands. It is a really basic phase. You have to go to order wristbands web page and fill in particular details. You can publish a message of your decision, decide on a colour, font or artwork. When you have filled up all the details you have to make payment through credit card. When payment is done and other formalities fulfilled you can get delivery of your wristbands at house or area talked about by you. Dont you think it is easy to order wristbands and have fun? Troy must have a bit of a house area benefit here, but their defense is just plain terrible this yr. Ohio"s defense hasn"t faced a lot of great passing video games this season, and I assume them to struggle to end Troy. I think "over" 58 is the best play in this 12 months"s New Orleans Bowl.
BEIJING -- A group of senior legislators Monday shared their insights on the legislation work and promoting rule of law over the past five years.
Xu Anbiao, vice chairman of Commission for Legislative Affairs of the 12th National People"s Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, highlighted the role of legislation in providing a legal basis for reforms.
"The NPC had issued 21 authorization and reform decisions to support reforms on pilot free trade zones, government review system, rural collective land ownership, financial management and the judicial system," said Xu, at a press conference held on the sidelines of the first session of the 13th NPC.
"It was unprecedented to see 95 laws coordinately revised in 15 batches to correct the inconsistency between existing laws and reform requirements," he said.
Over the last five years, the 12th NPC and its Standing Committee have enacted 12 laws, revised 127 laws, passed 46 decisions on legal questions and other major issues and issued nine legal interpretations, according to a work report submitted to the NPC on Sunday.
"Making authorization decisions is a type of legislation, which is to ensure that all reforms have a legal basis," said Uzhitu, vice chairman of the 12th NPC Financial and Economic Affairs Committee.
Monday is also the last day of the 12th NPC Financial and Economic Affairs Committee, as a new committee under the 13th NPC is expected to be set up by a plenary meeting on Tuesday.
Uzhitu explained that NPC special committees helped with researching and drawing up decisions, as well as evaluating their progress and preparing for future revisions of relevant laws.
"We must tailor legislation to meet the needs of reform and development, ensuring reform is advanced under the rule of law and the rule of law is improved through reform," said the work report.
Xu also briefed on the implementation of the recording and review system on normative documents in accordance with the Constitution.
The 12th NPC Standing Committee examined 1,527 review suggestions from citizens and organizations, said Xu, adding that 92.5 percent of the suggestions were on judicial interpretations.
If any reviewed document was found to be in conflict with the law, its formulating body was urged to make corrections as necessary.
"In most cases, the formulating body would swiftly correct the flawed document during the NPC review, thanks to China"s political system, which has a strong central leadership," Xu said.
Wang Chaoying, another vice-chairperson of Commission for Legislative Affairs of the NPC Standing Committee, talked about the legislative efforts to protect courts from administrative interference.
A revision to the Administrative Procedure Law offered courts jurisdiction in cross-regional administrative cases, according to Wang.
The NPC Standing Committee work report highlighted the legislature"s "heavy responsibilities in building China into a socialist country of rule of law."
The most recent move made by the NPC to promote the rule of law was an amendment to the Constitution adopted Sunday.

Capturing the biofuel wellhead and powerhouse: the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of the leguminous feedstock tree Pongamia pinnata

Pongamia pinnata (syn. Millettia pinnata) is a novel, fast-growing arboreal legume that bears prolific quantities of oil-rich seeds suitable for the production of biodiesel and aviation biofuel. Here, we have used Illumina® 'Second Generation DNA Sequencing (2GS)' and a new short-read de novo assembler, SaSSY, to assemble and annotate the Pongamia chloroplast (152,968 bp; cpDNA) and mitochondrial (425,718 bp; mtDNA) genomes. We also show that SaSSY can be used to accurately assemble 2GS data, by re-assembling the Lotus japonicus cpDNA and in the process assemble its mtDNA (380,861 bp). The Pongamia cpDNA contains 77 unique protein-coding genes and is almost 60% gene-dense. It contains a 50 kb inversion common to other legumes, as well as a novel 6.5 kb inversion that is responsible for the non-disruptive, re-orientation of five protein-coding genes. Additionally, two copies of an inverted repeat firmly place the species outside the subclade of the Fabaceae lacking the inverted repeat. The Pongamia and L. japonicus mtDNA contain just 33 and 31 unique protein-coding genes, respectively, and like other angiosperm mtDNA, have expanded intergenic and multiple repeat regions. Through comparative analysis with Vigna radiata we measured the average synonymous and non-synonymous divergence of all three legume mitochondrial (1.59% and 2.40%, respectively) and chloroplast (8.37% and 8.99%, respectively) protein-coding genes. Finally, we explored the relatedness of Pongamia within the Fabaceae and showed the utility of the organellar genome sequences by mapping transcriptomic data to identify up- and down-regulated stress-responsive gene candidates and confirm in silico predicted RNA editing sites.

Aug. 8 (UPI) -- Firefighters in Britain captured rare video of a firenado -- a whirlwind swirling flames high up into the sky.
The Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service Ashby Station posted a video to Facebook showing the firenado witnessed by firefighters battling a blaze in Albert Village, near Swadlincote.
The video shows the firenado creating a column of flame reaching high into the sky.
"Whist we were firefighting at Occupation Lane we witnessed a firenado or a fire whirl it's created as cool air enters the top of the hot air causing a swirl similar to how a tornado is formed," the post said.

HAJJ DOOM! Prince Saud bin Abdulaziz bin Musaed + 18 Bottles Of Johnnie Walker Red Label Whisky + Wad Of Cash + Rifle = Arrest!
Saudi prince arrested after video claimed to show him abusing man
A Saudi prince has been arrested after a video emerged online purporting to show him abusing someone and pointing a rifle at another. King Salman ordered the arrest and interrogation of the prince on Wednesday, a day after short clips were published on YouTube and shared on Twitter showing what appears to be a rifle pointed towards a man bleeding from the head and pleading. One video, viewed more than 760,000 times, shows 18 bottles of Johnnie Walker Red Label whisky on a table and a wad of cash. The sale and consumption of alcohol in Saudi Arabia is forbidden. Another shows a man sitting in a car, bleeding and being cursed at for parking in front of a house, while a further clip shows what appears to be the prince punching and slapping a man sitting on a chair. The clips went viral in Saudi Arabia under an Arabic Twitter hashtag that said "prince transgresses on citizens".Saudi Arabia's state TV reported on Wednesday that the king ordered a full investigation into the incidents and the arrest of Prince Saud bin Abdulaziz bin Musaed bin Saud bin Abdulaziz, as well as any associates who appeared in the clips. He ordered that no individual involved in the case be released until a court had issued a ruling in line with the country's sharia laws. Guardian>>>>>>>>

BREAKING: HE'S DEAD – BLM Is Cheering
(informationliberation) – Bar owner Jake Gardner shot and killed a rioter three months ago in what Douglas County attorney Donald Kleine ruled was self-defense only to be indicted earlier this week on a host of absurd charges by special prosecutor Frederick Franklin to please the Black Lives Matter mob.
The Gateway Pundit reported Sunday evening that Gardner has committed suicide.

From The Gateway Pundit:
A Nebraska bar owner that killed a rioter who was attacking him and his business has committed suicide, a friend of Jake Gardner has confirmed to The Gateway Pundit.
The bar owner, Jake Gardner, was indicted by a grand jury on counts of manslaughter, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, attempted first-degree assault and making terrorist threats after intense political pressure was placed on the city. The district attorney had originally ruled it was self defense.
On May 30, the 38-year-old veteran confronted a group of rioters outside one of the bars he owns in Omaha and was knocked to the ground.
"From there, he fired two warning shots and tried to get to his feet, prosecutors said. As he did, Gardner got into a fight with one man, James Scurlock, 22. The two scuffled before Gardner fired a shot that killed him," Yahoo News reports.
The rioter who was shot had repeatedly broken windows at the bar and other businesses in the area.
The incident prompted a wave of further "protests," particularly after Donald Kleine, the Douglas County attorney, determined that Gardner had acted in self-defense and declined to bring charges.
"A week later, Kleine said in a statement that after hearing from local residents and elected officials he would welcome an outside review 'in this rare instance.' He added, 'I made a decision and I would not change that decision based on everything I know today,'" the Yahoo report explains.
Why would Kleine "welcome" this man being run through the wringer for defending himself?
Is his being forced to take a life, having your businesses destroyed and then being harassed for months by Black Lives Matter mobs not enough?
Douglas County District Court Judge Shelly Stratman then appointed a special council, Fredrick Franklin, an assistant U.S. attorney in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Omaha, to handle the case, though they said they expected the same outcome.
Instead, Franklin bowed to pressure and dug up evidence and came up with charges.
"The manslaughter charge, he said, is related to Scurlock's death; the attempted assault charge resulted from the second warning shot Gardner fired; the charge of making terrorist threats is linked to 'a verbal confrontation' that Gardner had with Scurlock, Franklin continued," Yahoo reports.
On Friday, a judge signed off on an arrest warrant for Gardner.
A GoFundMe fundraiser to raise money for his defense was deleted by the platform.
Gardner was allegedly planning to turn himself in to the police on Monday. His family and friends believed that his bail was expected to be one million dollars.
In a video from Trump's inauguration, Gardner's kindness really shined as he explained that though he supports the president, he also supported the Women's March and their right to be heard.
It's a tearjerker:
In America, leftists can riot, loot, burn down buildings and topple statues and Soros-funded District Attorneys will let them out of jail and drop all charges against them but if an American patriot defends himself from the mob he can be prosecuted even after a county prosecutor exonerates him!
We don't even have the right to defend ourselves in Omaha, Nebraska!
How much longer are the American people going to put up with this charade?
Corrupt officials like Frederick Franklin are the ones who should be put on trial!
