The Drivers of Inflation During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The drivers of inflation during the COVID-19 pandemic period resulted from demand-pull inflation, cost-push inflation and money supply.
Irene Irungu
Jane Muthoni can still put together a tasty 'ugali-madondo' dish, a local specialty of Makongeni composed of maize flour and beans in a savory stew.
Trouble is, the dish and other tasty delicacies cost a lot more to make now than they did back in 2015 when she started the business, thanks to the hidden economic forces.
To operate her popular cafe, known by locals as a "kibanda", Muthoni says she has to pay three times as much for charcoal, and 30 percent more for kerosene, her primary cooking fuels. On top of that, the price of food ingredients is also up – maize flour is up more than 12 percent.
While not all items in the Kenyan economy are experiencing this price inflation, the rising costs are putting extra pressure on businesses that are already struggling with losses related to the health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Inflation generally refers to the upward price movement of goods and services in an economy. It represents the overall loss of purchase power of money. The more prices soar upwards, the less each Kenya shilling is worth.
The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) measures inflation using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). CPI is measured by a weighted average cost of a basket of selected goods and services such as food, housing, health, transport and so on. The inflation rate is typically the average change in the CPI over time, say year to year.
Muthoni, like many other Kenyans, does not necessarily understand why the prices of the items change over time.
This article assesses three drivers of inflation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
1. Demand-Pull Inflation
When the market demand for goods and services, such as flour, beans, charcoal, transport and others that Muthoni needs to run her çafe, outgrows the market supply, it causes demand-pull inflation.
It starts with an increase in demand by consumers, and sellers will react to that demand by increasing their supply. This leads to pressure on the scarce supplies making sellers raise their prices. This is one of the scenarios that result in inflation.
A marginal increase in inflation is observed between March and April in the graph above. This can be attributed to the demand-pull inflation as Kenyans were driven to panic buying and stocking of essential supplies such as food in anticipation of what would happen following the confirmation of the first COVID-19 patient in the country. The growth in aggregate demand resulted in a reduced availability of these goods causing higher prices hence the slight increase in the inflation rate.
Muthoni grappled with this increased cost on food supplies for her cafe which raised her expenses – cutting into her profit margins.
Another reason for demand-pull inflation could have been the depreciation of the Kenya shilling which in turn would increase import prices and reduce prices of exports. This meant fewer people had capacity to import while exporters would earn more. Since Kenya relies heavily on imports, this resulted in a growth of the total demand of goods and services in the economy
To mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to the Kenyan economy, the Government approved tax reduction and relief measures that were effected from the 25th April 2020.
This meant that taxpayers had more disposable income. It would be expected that the tax reduction would have raised demand, which would drive the price of goods and services upwards.
However, the reverse is observed on the chart above as the inflation rate steadily decreased from May onwards. This can be explained by the fact that some Kenyans lost jobs (estimated at 1.7 million by the KNBS), some received pay-cuts whereas others, in informal employment, were not eligible.
2. Cost-Push Inflation
When supply costs of goods and services rise due to increasing cost of production or raw materials, and demand remains the same, prices will rise. This will cause cost-push inflation.
Cost-push inflation can be attributed to the expectation of inflation where people foresee prices for goods or services rising. The marginal increase in inflation observed between March and April can be attributed to the uncertainty of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This could have affected Muthoni's business as the increased cost of food supplies was transferred from the farmers to producers, from wholesalers to retailers and finally borne by customers like her.
The depreciation of a currency rate can also cause cost-push inflation as it leads to an increase in the prices of imported goods such as raw materials for production. In return, producers transfer this growth in prices to consumers, which results in inflation.
3. Money Supply
All the currency and other liquid assets in an economy is referred to as money supply. It includes both cash and deposits that can be used almost as easily as cash. When there is more money supply in circulation, it will increase market demand. This in turn can lead to more domestic (local) production or an increase in prices. If domestic production is fixed, then any increase in market demand of goods and services will cause a rise in prices leading to inflation.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) reduced the Central Bank Rate (CBR) to 7.25 percent from 8.25 percent and Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) to 4.25 percent from 5.25 percent to avert a severe economic and financial crisis. This resulted in more money supply, of Kshs 35.2 billion. This offered banks additional liquidity and funds to lend.
While this offered Muthoni a chance to secure a bank loan, she was not confident that her cash flows would sustain its repayment as her customers kept reducing by the day.
The chart above reveals that the increase in money supply did not cause an increase in inflation. This could be attributed to growth of domestic production at the same rate as money supply, implying that the money is absorbed in production.
It could also be attributed to low circulation of the money in the economy. When the average number of times that money is spent on goods and services is low despite an increase in money supply, the prices are likely to remain low as observed at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic period.
Was the inflation rate uniform for all the basket items though?
The change in Basket Consumer Price Index was different across various categories.
The main driver for the decline in the inflation rate is consistent decrease in food and non-alcoholic beverages prices from May onwards. This can be linked to the reduction of VAT from 16 percent to 14 percent.
In contrast, the cost of transport increased sharply between June and July. This is attributed to an increase in demand for people travelling following the lifting of the cessation of movement into and out of the Nairobi Metropolitan area, Mombasa county and Mandera county on the 7th of July, 2020.
The cost of alcoholic beverages, tobacco and narcotics remained relatively stable until June when prices started to decline owing to reduced demand as a result of the suspension on the operation of bars.
Muthoni and colleagues dealing in restaurants and food businesses were allowed to remain open only for take away services. However, the demand for restaurants and hotels is seen to dip during the peak period of the COVID-19 pandemic, but things seem to be looking up from the month of August as prices for their services have gone up by close to 3 percent.
Since schools and learning institutions have been closed since March, the prices for education services have barely changed.
The drivers of inflation during the COVID-19 pandemic period resulted from demand-pull inflation, cost-push inflation and money supply. Despite the almost consistent decline in the inflation rates, the change in the Consumer Price Index did not depict a similar trend for all the goods and services.

Kenya Transactions in FinCEN Files Raise Suspicions Around Coffee and Ivory Trade
Twenty-four Kenyan financial institutions were named in the reports as either beneficiaries' banks or banks through which companies and individuals made suspicious payments from countries that include the United Arab Emirates, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, British Virgin Islands and China.

At least 53 Kenyan companies and individuals appear in a leak of banking records submitted to the US Department of Treasury as suspicious financial activity, according to an analysis of leaked bank documents by Africa Uncensored.
The documents, submitted by some of the world's largest banks to the US Department of Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, also known as FinCEN, were obtained by BuzzFeed News. BuzzFeed News shared the documents with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) which coordinated 110 media partners around the world.
The size of the leak, 2,100 suspicious activity reports filed by U.S. banks, or SARs, is unprecedented. While the documents are not evidence of wrongdoing, they provide a unique, bird's-eye view of global illicit money flows often obtained through corruption and other crimes.
"Banks are at the heart of the finance industry. Both legitimate and illegitimate finance moves through financial institutions. Big money is not carried in suitcases but through very respectable banks and other international financial institutions", says Alvin Musioma, executive director of Tax Justice Network Africa.
Additional reporting by Africa Uncensored also linked shareholders of Commercial Bank of Africa — now named NCBA Group — which is co-owned by Kenya's first family, to a company that received millions of US dollars in potentially suspicious payments for coffee and DVD players.
The Coffee Case
The New York branch of Standard Chartered, which acted as an intermediary bank, flagged payments sent to a company called SMS Ltd which the bank identified as having addresses in Kenya, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Russia and Bulgaria.
In the reports, the bank described SMS Ltd as being "in [the] pharmaceutical and medical products" industry. However, the bank noted, the companies sending the payments were in completely different lines of businesses, including commodities trading, vegetable oil production, and coffee exports.
Of the $14 million that SMS Ltd received between 2005 and 2013, $3.3 million was paid by Kenyan entities. More than $2 million of that was from two coffee Kenyan dealers, East African Gourmet Coffees Ltd and Servicoff Ltd. In fact, the companies are connected to each other and share company officers with companies linked to the Kenyatta family.
According to company registration documents, East African Gourmet Coffees' directors include an obscure company with no online presence, New Start Nominee Limited, and two individuals, Kibet Torut and Peter Kimathi Kinyua, who also owns Servicoff Ltd.
One of the shareholders of Servicoff Ltd is Ropat Nominees Ltd, the second-largest shareholder of NCBA Group, co-owned by President Kenyatta's family via their company Enke Investments Limited.
The two Ropat Nominees' directors co-own other companies, including one with John Stuart Armitage, who appears in numerous companies owned by Kenya's first family. The company, Southbrook Holdings, was recently at the centre of a contentious land sale deal involving the president's mother.
Contacted by journalists, Peter Kimathi Kinyua said that Servicoff Ltd's payments to SMS Ltd (registered in Kenya as Sustainable Management Services Limited) have been for the purchase of coffee. He declined to comment on the involvement of Ropat Nominees Ltd except to confirm that the company is part of the nominee shareholders.
"We normally deal with SMS – Sustainable Management Services, a coffee marketing agent at Nairobi Coffee Exchange," said Kibet Torut while denying knowledge of SMS Ltd and the transactions quoted from the suspicious activity report, in an email response.
Kinyua was appointed by President Uhuru Kenyatta as board chairman for Kenya Forest Service in 2018.
Both Kinyua and Kibet Torut denied having any business ties to the president.
According to their website, Servicoff Ltd, has been growing, processing roasting and blending coffee since 1969. The company shares an email domain name with East African Gourmet Coffees Ltd, the other coffee dealer named in the bank's report.
Import records confirm that Servicoff has been shipping Washed Kenya Arabica AA coffee since 2007, mainly to the U.S.
The bank report also noted that SMS Ltd had received $1.3 million from Louis Dreyfus Commodities Kenya, listed as a commodity broker in the SAR, the local branch of a global trade firm headquartered in Switzerland that deals in the coffee business too. Africa Uncensored has identified that one of the directors behind the Nairobi branch of Louis Dreyfus is Alexander Mareka Dietz, who is also a director in a company with Udi Mareka Gecaga, a one-time brother-in-law to President Kenyatta.
Reporters were unable to reach Dietz, and automated replies to emails sent to the company address indicate that only approved senders are able to email the company.
Company records obtained by Africa Uncensored reveal that Sustainable Management Services (SMS) Limited is wholly owned by East Africa MM Co. LLC, which is registered in the US state of Delaware, a recognised haven for shell companies due to its reputation for corporate secrecy and tax breaks.
On a US coffee seller's website, SMS Ltd markets Kenya AA coffee that is handpicked by many small-holding farmers in central Kenya.
According to the Kenya Biogas program website, the company is "one of the partners working with coffee farmers through targeted capacity building on climate change through projects."
A snapshot of their website in 2016 reveals that SMS Ltd is a group company of Ecom Agro-Industrial Corporation Limited, which is registered in Switzerland with the Esteve family its ultimate beneficial owner. Ecom's website lists an office at Tatu City coffee park in Ruiru, Kenya where SMS Ltd is located, according to its Facebook page. [3] The Esteve family also runs ECOM Coffee, a leading global coffee miller and coffee trader.

However, according to the FinCEN files, of the 201 transactions SMS Ltd received totalling over $14 million, more than half came from a Dubai-based vegetable oils production company for the purchase of television and DVD player.
When asked by journalists to comment on why a Kenyan company with a Delaware-registered shareholder markets coffee from Kenyan farmers to Kenyan companies exporting to the US, Musioma, the Tax Justice Network Africa executive director, had this to say:
"The fact that we are talking of companies being registered in tax havens and coming in, speaks of the lax laws we have when it comes to beneficial ownership. You might find that there is a conflict of interest here emanating from the directors of these companies being the ones that are involved in those transactions".
Reporters were unable to reach SMS Ltd. Emails to the parent company in Switzerland went unanswered.
Victoria Commercial Bank and Middle East Bank (MEB) Kenya Ltd did not respond to questions concerning these transactions, some of which were processed by the banks.
Standard Chartered Bank, whose New York branch filed the suspicious activity report, did not respond in time for publication.
"No More Bullshit"
In another set of transactions in a separate suspicious activity report reviewed by Africa Uncensored, a would-be fashionista named Joyce Oweya Anyumba — a 33-year-old with addresses in Buruburu, Nairobi, and Mombasa — held an account with the Barclays Bank of Kenya from 2015.
Her industry included interior design, curio and African wear, according to Barclays' report.
However, between July 2015 and October 2016, the account sent and received about 63 wire transfers totalling to $197,094.51. Anyumba received funds from banks in Qatar, the US, Australia, China, Germany and Sweden; she also wired a total of $1234.45 in small payments to individuals in the US, Australia, Canada, Sweden, China and Singapore that the bank could not verify.
The transactions were flagged by the bank because of unidentified sources of funds, unclear economic purposes of the transactions, and potentially being third-party payments.
The justifications for the payments included descriptions such as "bill settlement", "construction of house" and "consultation fees", according to the bank's report.
Other payment details included "government first payment", "gift finalization of matters discussed", and "supplier invoice payment to be forwarded".
One sender from Australia made 13 transfers worth almost $12,000 to Anyumba within a year. The payment details included the mysterious notes: "supplier invoice the money better come back" and "supplier invoice make good on your promise no ivor no more bullshit." The bank noted in its report: "ivor probably meaning ivory."
Anyumba denied knowledge of these transactions in an email.
"Am sorry sir, I don't know what you're talking about," said Anyumba when we asked her to confirm the above transactions. She did not reply to our follow up emails on her age, address and whether she is in the business of selling clothes and interior design materials.
There is no legal trade in ivory in Kenya, according to Dr Richard Thomas, the head of communications for TRAFFIC, a UK-based wildlife trade monitoring organisation. "It doesn't come as any surprise to hear you say there's essentially no record of [the parties]", Thomas told reporters.
"Wildlife is like any other commodity that's traded: there's buyers and sellers and money changes hands. International commercial ivory trade is banned under CITES, but the trafficking of it takes place, run by largely Asia-based organised criminal syndicates. One effective strategy to targeting such networks is through following the money", said Thomas.
Other senders of money to Anyumba include an American man with a history of shoplifting and bankruptcy, according to the bank's suspicious activity report.
The account was expected to have an annual turnover of about 16 million Kenya shillings ($160,000), according to Barclays, but the customer received significant transactions whose real economic purposes could not be identified.
"Barclays Kenya has filed a SAR on Anyumba with their local regulator and is in the process of exiting the relationship," the report noted.
The Kenya branch of Barclays Bank — now known as ABSA Bank Kenya PLC — had not answered our questions regarding the specifics of the transactions by the time of publication.
Musioma listed some general concerns of suspicious trade through Kenya because the country serves as a hub for drug smuggling and illicit trade in all kinds of goods, including ivory and smuggled minerals.
"All these monies are not carried in suitcases or wheelbarrows. The banking sector is at the centre of it. And I don't think that both the Central Bank and regulators are doing enough to stretch banks in terms of punitive measures," said Musioma.
Many of the transactions flagged as suspicious by banks in the FinCEN Files involve recipients and originators from Kenya and other high-risk jurisdictions, including Cyprus, Mauritius, Moldova, Latvia, Afghanistan, Russia and Turkey.
Musioma likened banks to providers of "getaway cars" in crime and corruption in the country — the so-called intermediaries in terms of them providing the oil to enable corruption. "So, the fight against corruption, illicit financial flows and money laundering and all these other crimes can never be won without bringing in the central role banks play".
Much more could be done to address the role of Kenyan banks in money laundering and other financial crimes, according to Musioma. For example, increasing the punishment for banks who break regulations designed to prevent illicit flows, improve due diligence in the banks' compliance procedures, and address the issue of the revolving door." We have seen people moving in from the banking sector to become regulators and that will create a conflict of interest in the banking industry," he said.
With Kenya working on being a regional financial centre, through the Nairobi International Finance Centre (NIFC) the regulation and enforcement of the financial sector must be tightened, the tax expert concluded.

Q: vimrc not accepting mouse-=a command I have strange problem with my /etc/vim/vimrc file.
I was trying to get rid of VISUAL mode in VIM, so I have tried to add the set mouse-=a command in my vimrc file.
However my vim does not take those changes into account.
When I do :set mouse-=a in openend vim, it does what I want (selecting text with mouse without entering VISUAL mode), but the command does not work in the vimrc file.
I have also enabled the "jump to the last position when reopening a file" in vimrc and it is working, that makes me even more confused.
I have been trying every possible command:

*

*set mouse=a

*set mouse=r

*set mouse-=a

*:set mouse-=a
None of them is working when added to /etc/vim/vimrc.
My system is:
rRr-kali:~# uname -a
Linux rRr-kali 4.8.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.8.15-1kali1 (2016-12-23) x86_64 GNU/Linux
rRr-kali:~#

A: I know, that this question is a bit old, but I just want to clarify, why both answers above are correct and why it's working that way.
On Debian systems the way the config files for vim are loaded is like this:

*

*Load settings in /etc/vim/vimrc

*If exists, load settings from /etc/vim/vimrc.local

*If ~/.vimrc does not exist and there is no "let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1" in /etc/vim/vimrc or /etc/vim/vimrc.local, load settings from /usr/share/vim/vim80/defaults.vim otherwise load settings from ~/.vimrc (if it exists).

Details for that can be found in the config files itself, as well as in a discussion on bugs.debian.org
So to solve your issue you have two ways to go:

*

*Insert "let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1" at the beginning of /etc/vim/vimrc.local.

*Create an empty ~/.vimrc by issuing touch ~/.vimrc.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=864074

A: If you are using Debian 9 (Strecth), edit the file /usr/share/vim/vim80/defaults.vim and change the line 70 to put
set mouse-=a

Best Regards
Thibault

A: Moving mouse-=a to the end of ~/.vimrc resolved the issue for me.

A: At least at RaspberryOS (Debian) the "problem" is that /usr/share/vim/vim80/defaults.vim will be executed after /etc/vim/vimrc (including vimrc.local) or ~/.vimrc
Thus I changed line defaults.vim alike this:
 69  if has('mouse')
 70          if empty("+mouse")
 71                  set mouse=a
 72          endif
 73  endif

now I'm able to set mouse-=a in system wide or personal vimrc

Ruth worked for Dickerson Insurance, Jack Nash Insurance, Bill Chapin, and Thornhill Davis Insurance Agencies. She then became a partner with Steve Chapin and then became owner of Chapin-Hayworth Insurance in 1977. In 2009, Chapin-Hayworth merged with Thalls-Ameriana Insurance, where Ruth retired in June, 2010.
A passionate community activist, Ruth was the first female to serve on the Henry County Council, where she served as Chairperson, and also served as president of the Indiana County Council Association.

Joseph Speed Conrad
CONRAD, Joseph Speed, soldier, born in Ithaca, New York, 23 August, 1833. He was graduated at the United States military academy in 1857, and assigned to the 2d infantry, stationed at Fort Columbus. He was sent to the western frontier in 1858, and during the three years succeeding served in Minnesota and Nebraska. When the civil war began he was a first lieutenant, and was detailed as commissary of subsistence to General Lyon in the Missouri campaign in the summer of" 1861. He was wounded at the battle of Wilson's Creek, 10 August, and was on sick-leave until October. He was promoted captain, 1 November, 1861, and placed at the head of the discharge department in Washington from that time until 21 January, 1864. Early in the summer of that year he joined the regular brigade of the Army of the Potomac, and was engaged in the campaigns that followed, including the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Petersburg, and Reams's Station. During this period he served at different times as judge-advocate, provost-marshal, and commissary of musters. He received three brevets, as major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel of volunteers. From 1865 till 1871 he was occupied with garrison duty, after which he served as instructor of infantry tactics at the United States military academy, and then on special duty in Washington in connection with the Centennial exhibition at Philadelphia. In 1877 he was assigned to duty on the frontier. He was promoted to major of the 17th infantry on 27 April, 1879. and to lieutenant colonel of the 22d infantry on 27 June, 1884. In 1886 he was in command of Fort Lyon, Colorado.


Determined to share his Original Pinoy Music to the Filipino, Rence Lee Rapanot was happy to have a chance in the Blind Audition. Tending to their rice field and breaking his back to work without a carabao because they had resently sold it, Rapanot felt poverty at its deepest meaning. He was surprised to finally reach his dream to be an artist as Luis Manzano broke the news that he can have the chance to impress the four judges of The Voice.
'Mateo Singko' is a song that he sung to reach for the coaches. It was Apl De Ap who first turned his chair as the song about poverty reached into him. It is known that Apl grew in a life of poverty before he had a chance to be in US and study.
Bamboo and the rest of the coaches turned as the audience cheered for him. He shared to Sarah that he wanted to bring the Filipino song back on track again. Bamboo liked how the story of the song reached to the people. He wanted the people to know about the message and promised to support the artist.
Apl called his bestfriend will'I'am and asked him to sing their OPM song which impressed the other judges. He said that he wanted Rapanot to join his team and share the Filipino music to people around the world .Lea loved the way he was able to tell the story in his heart through his song. The song touched the hearts of the listener and Lea was looking for an artist with such an ability.
In the end Rapanot picked Bamboo believing that they have the same dreams for the OPM. Bamboo asked him to continue singing the story of the Filipino from his heart just as he had sung with the words 'mahirap maging mahirap'.


Brief: Create a public project about the future of design.
Background: When I joined the inaugural class of the Institute without Boundaries, a post-graduate design program in Toronto's Bruce Mau Design studio, we were asked to develop a traveling exhibition, publication, website, and other products that present a new view of design. After the second year of the program, the school was moved to George Brown College.
Based on Arnold Toynbee's notion that we can think of 'the welfare of the human race as a practical objective,' Massive Change set up an optimistic vision for the design discipline, one that is not about the world of design, but the design of the world. We explored this idea from the perspective of twelve topics, such as Urbanization, Materials, Energy, Living Systems, Information, Manufacturing, among others.
Result: Although this project was developed by a team of around a dozen people, my role in this project was to contribute with research, writing, and design of the first drafts of the book, parts of the exhibition, the first website for the project, a movie, and poster series. I also co-organized a number of seminar series that informed the project's thesis.
An earlier book cover proposal. At this point, the typographic choice was finalized: Bell gothic and Helvetica Condensed.
My topic of research was Energy, Health and Living systems. One of the highlights of this experience was interviewing Avigdor Cahaner, the designer of a featherless chicken in Israel. Overall, getting immersed in learning about ways in which various inventors, scientists, and entrepreneurs were designing new technologies, platforms, and services, was very rewarding. All these interviews and research, greatly influenced my view of design, not just as a tool for producing well-crafted goods, but also as an overall strategic skill that can add value to the table when working with other disciplines.
For the Energy section in the exhibition, a pitch-black room had some of the highlights of the research. Visitors used a flash light to read the texts. The other section of the room was fully-lit and had some inventions related to renewable energy, and the challenges in providing energy sources in remote regions in Africa and Eastern Asia.
Some of the more visually-intriguing rooms were the Information room, showing earth simulators. The orange-colored Wealth and Politics room contrasted global data (for instance, the budgetary amount spent on military globally, versus a much smaller amount of money that would be needed to educate every child on the planet).
The Image room showed various photographs, ranging from nano-sized photography, to photography taken with different light spectrums, and telescopic imagery.
The exhibition was the Vancouver Art Gallery's highest attended exhibition, and was also shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and the Art Gallery of Ontario. The book became one of the publisher's most popular books on contemporary design.

If you're interested in the history of science and technology, you may consider becoming either a history professor or curator. While both of these careers require graduate education, they are also expected to see job growth in the coming years. Keep reading to explore your options in this field.
The history of science and technology is a specialization within the scholarly discipline of history that chronicles the development of modern science and major technological advancements. It is also concerned with the relationship between scientific progress and society. While there are several career options, many of them may require an individual to teach other aspects of history.
Individuals who wish to have careers that are concentrated in the history of science and technology may consider becoming history professors. While they often have to teach general history, most professors have a concentration area. Individuals interested in the history of science and technology may also consider becoming museum curators. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), museum curators oversee collections and direct the museum's activities (www.bls.gov).
The history of science and technology may become more popular as the impact that these fields have on day-to-day life grows. If you'd like to make a career out of applying a scholarly lens to scientific progress, these links from Study.com can help you learn how to succeed.
A number of colleges across the U.S. offer degrees in the history of science and technology. These degrees are usually offered at the master's degree level, but undergraduate programs and courses can be found as well. Some programs are offered by universities' schools of medicine, integrating science and technology into an academic medicine curriculum.
A career as a museum curator or history professor will require a graduate degree. Typically, interested students start with bachelor's degrees in history. These degrees often include coursework in major historical areas, such as American, European, and African history. Additionally, many programs offer concentration areas where students may take courses related to the history of science and technology. While the BLS indicates that most museum curators need master's degrees, history professors will need doctorates, usually in the form of Ph.D.s. The capstone requirement for a Ph.D. program is the completion and defense of a doctoral thesis in a student's area of interest.
Explore some of the undergraduate and graduate degree options by reviewing these articles.
It is possible to obtain a history degree through online or distance learning courses. Below are a few links to help you with your search.
Historians of science and technology may put their knowledge to use by designing and maintaining museum exhibits or teaching. Here is a selection of links describing a few potential careers in this field. These articles have information on job descriptions, requirements and employment outlooks.
In May 2013, the BLS reported that historians earned a mean annual wage of $60,010, while curators earned $55,620. History educators at the postsecondary level made $74,100 on average. The BLS projects that employment opportunities for historians and postsecondary history teachers will increase six percent and 14%, respectively, in 2012-2022. Jobs for curators are expected to increase 13% in the same time frame.


Gday community, Patch here. We've had a few issues this week around recording, so a podcast will be coming out tomorrow. In the meantime, it's time to dish out some praise and a few bakes of some blokes who may have won us or cost us finals in this tense part of the year.
We're at the business end now, and blokes in the habit of burning us – I'm looking at you, Shaun Higgins – have come back to bit with a vengeance.
We'll start with the positives, the blokes we're cheering on to do well and bring us home. And we'll start at the top – Patrick Dangerfield. After years of me being on his back about not pumping out 140+ scores consistently: he's back, baby. Most would argue he never left but his 160 on the weekend was a mammoth display, which anyone who VC'd him will be leaping at. His mate, the Little Master Gary Ablett, also had 158.
Jack Macrae celebrated his return to plenty of teams with a 153, while Lachie Neale (134) and The Bont (134) were both excellent PODs for those who had them. Meanwhile, Brodie Grundy, Zach Merrett and Clayton Oliver all scored 121, which is an exceedingly excellent score. Isaac Heeney also celebrated a return to form in Sydney's win over the Dees.
Bloody Dustin Martin. If you'd told us one player was due to score 200 points against the Suns (which we'll get to in a minute), most people would have picked Dusty as the man to do it. Instead, he returned a paltry – by his standards – 91 against the fledgling Gold Coast. Dayne Zorko had a rubbish 66 after I talked him up as a captaincy option, which is 100 less than I was expecting from him.
And then there were the burn-men. While Michael Walters hasn't burnt many in seasons past, he's gone on many 'never-again' lists after an inconsistent year riddled with injury. While he scored an admirable 96 before doing his hamstring, the injury is the final straw for Walters.
And then we've got Shannon Hurn and Shaun Higgins. Both of these gentlemen are well-known burn-men. We know their history. We know their past. And they'd been playing really well this season. Really, genuinely well. But it was a con. IT WAS A GODDAM CON. They were playing the long game, waiting for when we were at our most vulnerable, waiting to kick us in the teeth. And they have.
There were a bunch of really disappointing scores from some players, which weren't in and of themselves villain-making scores, but Rory Laird (84), Josh Kelly (injury-affected 82), Stephen Coniglio (82), Mitch Duncan (78) and Max Gawn (84) were all deflating to our side's scores.
Jumping Jack Riewoldt can have my children after pulling out a 219 on the weekend. I didn't know he had the double ton in him. I just didn't pick it. A mammoth 10 goals and a lot of … well, everything… gave him a metric ton of points.
Josh P Kennedy pulled out a 107 after a few disappointing weeks, Alex Witherden racked up a 110 and Jack Billings still managed to score 107 despite the Saints being pummelled. He's back in that high half-foward/wing role and I'm heavily considering a discounted Billings for 2019. Maybe.
Josh Dunkely. Can someone from the Dogs tell me if he's someone we need to watch in 2019? Is he the Next Big Thing from the Doggies? Will he be a Thing? Aliir Aliir looks really good at footy, and I'm fascintated to see if he can turn that into 2019 Supercoach relevance. I'd suspect not, but maybe. One to watch.
Adelaide defender and burn-man Brodie Smith made his return to the Crows' outfit this weekend, and tonned up. Price dependant, we may all be starting him in defence next season, assuming we don't get rogered by the price calculation.
Also – Brayden Sier. I get annoyed at seeing all these rookies making their debuts late in the season, and Sier is a perfect example of why. A Wines-like machine whon cranked out 119 on the weekend – he'll be 300k next year. No rookie prices for us, and we lose him as a starting option. Gosh hecking darn it.
RIGHTEO, that's it for me, community – who stood out to you this weekend? How are you travelling in finals?
Remember as well, Damo is looking to source his final cheat-sheet of the season from YOU, the community – who were your best (and worst) starting picks for season 2018?
Injured rd 21. Useless plick. Cant loop.
Walters has been the strangest burn man of all time. I started him knowing he had a massive ceiling and a pretty mediocre floor, with an injury history, and he has showcased all of those things this year. At times he's looked incredible and at other times he has either been non-present, played in the pocket, or out due to suspension/injury. He was one of four mid pricers I started this year along with Smith, McLean and Sicily and he is definitely the one that failed. Ahern will be covering Walters (I'm nervous) after I was greedy enough to go Martin to Grundy just before the bounce on Saturday night (could still be worth it) as I attempt to squeeze into the top 3k from 3786 at this current moment. Made all 3 prelims and have a guy who is carrying a lot of injuries in a public DRSC league so I'm likely to be in a GF there. No longer regretting trading in Neale over Kelly for Fyfe right now at least.
So a tough choice this week. Finished second in my league, my opponent had an unbelievable score first game so have had to do it the hard way. Won easily last week thanks to J Riewoldt. I'm now up against the celebrity in our league in Daniel Begala, who finished top and hasn't been beaten in our league since about round 5 (when I got lucky to beat him).
Last option is to sit tight, hope I win and use it for the GF.
Fwds: Heeney, Gray, D Smith, Billings, Riewoldt, Westhoff.
Only coz of their opponents over the next 2 weeks.
Don't take the trade to the GF that you ain't in.
Might want to hang five on Tuohy has a broken bone in his hand .. might miss a week .. Webster cover for Prelim might cost you..
Like Menegola over most forwards except Heeney, can't imagine D6 is close. But all are solid upgrades. Which ever give you the best loop now and next week. I've love owning Lloyd. Very solid second half and playing for a contract.
Love having Brayshaw in my team. Plays full time midfield.
He is scoring huge as of late!
Just when I finally got Sicily in he got injured, so brought in Gus. He has been a star.
which one of these guys?
I like Lobb. Lone ruckman.
Caleb Daniel.. cracked 2 tons playing permanent half back for the past 2 weeks and Beveridge says he will stay there..
I like the Lobb option too..
I like Daniel as well. Has been a revelation off halfback and has great D.E.
Who has been recently injured?
Hogan, Ryder, Walters, Shaw all going down….. who fills the void?
Shaw to TMac for me this week with news of Hogan to miss.
Agree with Lazza and Finn, Daniel's in good form of late.
Who to trade out for macrae?
Parker, pendles, sloane or dusty?
R u trading in macrae as your opponent has him or to bring in a pod for finals?
Bringing in Hawkins for Walters a good idea?
Playing 2 at home .. should be good this week.. .. then up against May.. could be huge..
Need a Shaw replacement, money not an issue. Have the obvious choices already (Laird, Yeo, Simpson, Brayshaw, Lloyd). Thinking Hurn, Crisp or Witherden?
I really like JJ. Have had him all year and is back playing the high defensive role that I picked him for. The 30odd score was a hard tag. I don't see that happening every week.
He can get shut down really easily though – especially after the coverage in the media last couple of weeks about him running free. I wouldn't feel super confident having him in a final.
I have 3 trades left with 80 k. Team is full premo with e.curnow, and hogan. Should i trade thrm out?
And Hogan is OUT!!! for the season…. get Hawk or Menagola, home draw against lowly sides and playing to stay in touch for finals.
Grab Menegola, option to swing Fwd/Mid or replace Hogan. Has 2 home games left and his for is strong.
Hawkins has a great run home.
Hawkins or Menegola. Averaged 116 over his last 4 games last season and is playing Freo and GC. Could go huge.
Should I trade in Ablett as he has two home games and they are fighting for a finals spot. Or just go macrae, knowing he could cop a tag by curnow this weekend.
If I trade in Gazza then I will have 9 mid premos which means I can loophole Parker and pendles….
Nice work still having a trade left Sam, I'd go Gazza if it were up to me, in some great form and who knows, could be his last season if it ends well for the Cats.
Villain of the week is Tex Walker for taking out Josh Kelly. Hogan out as well following on from Gaff last week. My season is officially forked.
My conundrum is I have savage and gaff who are currently being covered by mihocek and Sier. My projected score is higher than my 2 opponents this weekend. I have 2 trades remaining and enough cash to upgrade to anyone if required.
Pies play early this weekend so I'm tempted to wait it out to see how mihocek and Sier score (on the bench as emergencies) and if they spud it up I will still have time to trade gaff and or savage to a premo..
My issue is ideally I want Ablett or menegola to come in for gaff but if I wait to see how Sier scores it will be too late to trade them in.
Any other mid premos I could consider?
I can still bring in a Brayshaw or Hurn for savage if mihocek scores poorly but am I better to save a trade? Or go for the premo given it's do or die this weekend?
Yeah leagues only – byes stuffed me this year and had a bit of bad luck with captain options (Fyfe and macrae when they got injured) which didn't help.
With only one round left I'd definitely use one trade. Both are good loop options, and as the pies play early, you only miss on 6/18 teams. I'd need to see your team, but if you don't have Macrae then Gaff to him is a must I think. Fyfe could also be back this week.
Mids are: Macrae Danger Mitchell Cripps Zorko Dusty Oliver and gaff/Sier – I like the idea of Fyfe too but same issue as with gaz and menegola.
Def are: Lloyd Laird Yeo Simpson T-Mac and Savage/Mihocek.
Read on AFL.com that walters is a chance to play this weekend! Huge if true.
exact same. Both will probably miss but as part of the no trades (and minimal cover) club I have my fingers crossed.
Really hoping Walters, Ryan and Kelly all manage to play this week somehow but I doubt it.
Looks like Luke Ryan has a hammy… TBC on the available list… not 'Test' but 'TBC' .. doesn't seem to be a good omen.
Kinda hoping all of Ryan, Kelly and Walters are out. This is why I kept trades just incase!
Only used my trades on injuries and upgrades so not much I could do. Think I made 1 sideways actually by trading out Billings a few rounds in.
Hope it works out for you DM, you're having a strong finish to the season and that's when it matters.
Left field trade….. Gawn to Grundy.
have been in a decent position in my leagues and am now through to semis of all 3. Took a risk by having fyfe on the bench since he was injured, in hope that most people would trade him and he could become a POD in the finals. It looks like it may have paid off and even better, bringing shuey in for a rookie has served its purpose nicely.
Sitting 5K overall so nothing special, but what do we think Fyfe could score in his comeback if he returns?
Should i use 2 trades as i have 3 left to trade hogan out for Hawkins or Menengola?
I'd use em both Noah, then you won't die wondering, if you lose, at least you did everything you could this week.
Yeah I'd like to play Sanctuary Lakes one day, Port Kennedy over here in WA is a really good links golf test, google it and check it out mate.

Biodiversity in the North West: The Mildews of Cheshire, Lancashire and Cumbria
Bruce Ing, Biodiversity in the North West: The Mildews of Cheshire, Lancashire and Cumbria
The historical counties of Cheshire, Lancashire, Westmorland and Cumberland have a rich diversity of geology, landscape, vegetation and wildlife. This is an account of a group of fascinating fungi, the downy and powdery mildews. They belong to quite different groups of fungi, in the broadest sense, and are important parasites on flowering plants.
After a short introduction to the biology and ecology of mildews, the physical and ecological environment of old Cheshire, Lancashire and Cumbria is described. The main part of the book is a detailed catalogue of all the species ever recorded in the region. The records date back to the nineteenth century but are mostly concentrated in the last sixty years, up to the present. Of particular interest is the evolutionary relationship between the fungi and their hosts – an excellent example of co-evolution in action.
The author taught at Chester College, now the University of Chester from 1971 to 2013 and is Visiting Professor of Environmental Biology and Emeritus Professor of Applied Science at the University.

Cori Hatley and Eric Fallon have learned a lot about the many entrepreneurship and innovation opportunities available through Missouri S&T. But they weren't always so knowledgeable.
So she and Fallon took an entrepreneurial approach to solving this quandary: They put together a plan and pitched it to investors.
Their investors were the members of Missouri S&T's Innovation Team, a group of students, faculty and staff that reviews proposals from students, faculty and staff and awards seed funding based on the innovative nature of the proposals. The group operates much like the angel investors on the TV show "Shark Tank," which weighs pitches from would-be inventors and entrepreneurs.
Through this process, Hatley and Fallon were also applying lessons learned as members of the 2015-16 class of University Innovation Fellows at Missouri S&T. The UIF program is a National Science Foundation initiative designed to help college students learn more about entrepreneurship and to bring that innovative spirit to their campuses. "It's designed to train us to be change agents," says Hatley.
This fall, Hatley and Fallon's project, called Ignite Innovation, will introduce incoming freshmen to the entrepreneurship resources available on campus, from design team and undergraduate research opportunities to clubs and coursework focused on innovation.
Two other UIF members – S&T students Connor Wolk and Tyler Jenkins – will take Fallon and Hatley's idea and make it a reality this fall. The UIF students will offer the workshop during Opening Week at Missouri S&T. Incoming first-year students are already signing up for the project, Hatley says.
Fallon and Hatley credit Dr. Bonnie Bachman, a professor of economics and the UIF faculty advisor at S&T, for igniting their interest in entrepreneurship and innovation. Through the efforts of Bachman and John Lovitt, entrepreneur-in-residence at Missouri S&T, the campus received funding last fall to develop new courses designed to stimulate innovation. The grant comes from VentureWell, an organization that funds entrepreneurs as well as universities.
Awesome work, and congrats to all! Way to go!

Q: Dropping OID column when executing "Table to Table" tool in ArcMap ModelBuilder? I am creating a ModelBuilder model, and from a feature class I am exporting the final output as .txt with "table to table" tool. (I just want a list of two fields (PID and DIST ). On the tool's field mapping list, the OID field is not there, but it shows up in the text file I create.
I tried to run "Make Table View" tool without the ObjectID field, but it still shows up in the output.
So, in the final output I have 3 fields: OID, PID, DIST (instead of PID and DIST only).
How can I get rid of the OID field?

A: I don't think it's possible for ArcGIS to produce a table without an OID column.  Therefore, a solution/work-around would be to remove the OID column after it is created.
You can do this within the model itself by using a 'Calculate Value' item to run some Python code to remove the OID field after the export.  (You can just ignore the output of the 'Calculate Value'.  Or you could use it as a precondition if the model needs to do anything else afterwards.)
The Python could use a CSV or data management module such as 'Pandas' and would be a fairly simple script, something like the following (untested)...
Expression:
removeOIDFromCSV("%Output Table%", "%NEW Output Table%")

Code Block:
import pandas

def removeOIDFromCSV(inCSV, outCSV):
    dataframe = pandas.read_csv(inCSV)
    del dataframe['OID']
    dataframe.to_csv(outCSV, index=False)

Note that the percent symbols in the Expression are used to delimit the names of other objects in the model.  When the model is executed, these items will be replaced with the values of those objects.  In the example above, you would use the names of your original output CSV object in the model, and the name of the intended (no-OID) output CSV object in the model (or if there is no such object elsewhere in the model, just use the actual full path to the intended CSV location).
Note also that in this case, these parameters must be in quotes, because they will be string literals.


And now for something completely different – well, for now. As if the Deep State Fake News Media both in the USA and the BEEB nation (for the uninitiated that's the Britanistan fake news network BBC) President Donald J. Trump can't do anything right for doing wrong in the company of Queen Elizabeth II; or so they infer.
It remains interesting that much of the ridicule aimed at Trump involves things that liberals do as well.
"The royal family adheres to a strict code of etiquette and behavior. So when the ever-boisterous President Donald Trump met with Queen Elizabeth II for tea at Windsor Castle on Friday, many expected him to serve up some awkward interactions.
My goodness — Trump was rude to the Queen? Our leaders should respect the customs and protocols of other nations just as we expect them to respect ours. What on earth did Trump do?
"The president's critics on Twitter were quick to call him out for briefly walking in front of the queen, which is reportedly a social faux pas, during a ceremonial inspection of the Guard of Honor.
As the sportscasters say: let's go to the tape. Trump and Queen initially walked appropriately, but they weren't walking in a carpeted ballroom. As they made a turn, for a brief moment Trump was ahead of Her Majesty. It is not clear that Trump caused the problem. The Queen is remarkably spry for her age, but she is 92.
Trump stopped, which allowed the Queen to retake the lead. To say he forced the Queen to walk around him is a remarkably biased way of putting it.
This is not earthshattering stuff, but the article then produces an endless stream of Twitter comments describing Trump's boorishness.
As to the goofball fake president with his narcissistic, insouciant, nose in the air 'know it all' demeanor, bear in mind that he and his cabal would have received an official invitation along the lines of the one above sent to yours truly. My take is (only my supposition, now) that leaning back in his chair with his feet slovenly and rudely resting on the Resolute desk, the punk from the back end of Chicongo (as 'Schmutzli' so rightly describes it) tossed the invite into his waste basket and decided that he'd run the show the way he already had it in mind.
Don'tchya know he knows everything better than anybody? Well, take a look at this embarrassingly funny hopscotch of a toast with the entire world watching (to say nothing of a complete failure of diplomacy towards a United States ally) right in the middle of 'God Save the Queen' … Doesn't get any more red-faced than that. The look from Her Majesty had 'go to your room, you bad, bad, boy' all over it! Turns out 'his people' around him were definitely as dumb if not dumber than him.
One other point, Elizabeth is not our Queen. Being polite and courteous to her is certainly in order, but the odd particulars of English tradition that dictate towards their royalty apply to 'subjects.' Reminder to everyone – We the People are not her subjects. We don't have a queen. Matter of fact, since BabyGotBack left, we don't even have an imaginary queen.
Thank God for President Donald J. Trump and his willingness to take on the elite establishment globalists, and bring sanity back into diplomatic self-governance for every nation on the planet. More importantly – MAGA!

U.S. WW II HOWITZER MOTOR CARRIAGES M7 & M7B1 PRIEST
by: Richard Howden [ MAGACH_EIGHT ]
Armorama
Many of you may already be familiar with this series of paperback books but this title is the first in this series that I have had the chance to have a really good look at. The text (which only takes up four of the 48 pages) is split down the middle into English on the left and German on the right. All the myriad of picture captions and notations are also bilingual, as are the Glossary and Reference sections in the back of the book. Apart from a few well chosen "in service" photographs, the bulk of the illustrations are the same as you will find in any technical manual, in that they have been retouched to get rid of distracting backgrounds and to better show the detail present in the picture. There are also scale drawings included with appropriate measurements and artists renderings of internal layouts. A good smattering of overhead views have been included and there are plenty of internal photographs as well. All the pictures are of an adequate size to be of immense value to the modeller and the captions highlight important details that may be overlooked.
Once you have read the History, Description, Main Differences Between Models and the Production Figures 1942-1945 sections you are left with a page of Technical Data before you move on to the main reason for this book, the pictures.
The first chapter, 105mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M7, covers the prototypes in field trials and moves on to multiple views of the initial production M7. The intermediate production M7 is highlighted next and then the late production version is shown. Several in service shots follow on and then we have a page of scale drawings with appropriate measurements showing a late production variant with spaced out running gear and wide tracks.
The second chapter, 105mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M7B1, covers the later variant and an internal ghost drawing is included in this chapter.
The Driver's Controls and Instruments are covered by the next chapter, quickly followed by the M7 and Engine Compartment chapter. The radial Continental R975 C1 engine is shown in detail, both inside the vehicle and externally. Great Diorama potential there!
The M7B1 Engine and Engine Compartment come next with views of the Ford GAA engine and the differences in the engine compartment for this variant.
The Power Train and Suspension come next and we are shown the front transmission separated from the vehicle and details of the suspension and tracks.
Moving on to the Hull and Fighting Compartment, we are shown various useful internal and external details over the next seven pages.
Armament comes next and there are enough views of the main 105mm gun to please nearly everyone. The Sighting Equipment and Ammunition are covered next and then we move on to a brief chapter on the Kangaroo Conversion (Canadian Army).
A variant that I was not aware of, the 9.75-in. Mortar Motor Carriage is covered next before moving on to a chapter covering the Deep Water Fording Equipment (U.S. Army). The Long Immersion Instructions (British Army) are also covered and the book rounds off with a chapter on the 105mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M7B2 with it's raised main armament and pulpit.
Finally we have a Glossary and Reference section along with an Editorial information section.
This book is ideal for the modeller wishing to detail his model of an M7 Priest . There is such a wealth of knowledge held within it's pages that it cannot fail to inspire the modeller to higher levels of accuracy and detail. The only disappointment is that there is not a chapter covering the Israeli modified variant of the M7 Priest. This would have made the book absolutely complete in my humble opinion
Highs: A good all round technical publications of the M7 Variants, clear pictures and text
Lows: would be nice if it covered other variants
Verdict: Recommended for any one wanting to build an accurate M7
Scale: Other
Our Thanks to Tankograd Publishing!

I specialise in this area because most of the modifications that the Israelis have done to their full size vehicles the modeller has to mimmick, in scale, on their models ...
