What Rift? Aregbesola Describes Oyetola As Worthy Successor
Rauf Ogbeni Aregbesola, former Governor of Osun State and Minister of Interior, has described Governor Gboyega Oyetola as a worthy successor.
In a congratulatory statement in Osogbo on Friday to mark Oyetola's second anniversary, the Minister said the Osun governor has weathered the storm of governance effectively.
Aregbesola wrote: "I write to congratulate you on the second anniversary of your administration.
"I look back with pride and nostalgia the hard-fought battle of your election and the continuation of progressive administration in the State of Osun.
"There have been challenges along the line – the inclement national financial weather, the COVID-19 pandemic and others not so significant. But you have weathered the storm admirably and steadied the ship of state.
"The challenges will no doubt present a new format as you step into the third year. These are heightened political participation, pressure to deliver more dividends of democracy and increased demands from the political system. I have no doubt that you will cope nicely.
"Please continue to make the welfare of the people your biggest concern. They are the reason of the state. Without them there will be no government or any political office to occupy.
"Once again, congratulations, as I wish you a resounding success in office and every aspect of life.
"My kind regards to the good wife, Alhaja Kafayat Oyetola and the entire cabinet of the State of Osun".
Naija News reports that the media space has been awash of a rift between Aregbesola and his successor.
Indigenes of Osun State fear that the alleged bad blood between the duo may lead to a clash in the state among their supports.
This led to the cancellation of a public lecture by the Osun All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus in the National Assembly.

2023: Why Tinubu Shouldn't Contest For Presidency – Bamgbose
Lagos Lawmaker Asks Nigerians To Reward Tinubu With Presidency


Financial stability is more important for economic growth than low interest rates – past experience proves that argument, writes Turkish columnist İbrahim Kahveci.
The government should also ensure stability along with progress on democracy and long-overdue legislative reforms in areas such as the labour market and taxation, Kahveci said in an article for pro-government Karar. The state of emergency, in place since last year's failed coup, should also be lifted to encourage investment, he said.
Kahveci pointed to the years 2004, 2005 and 2006, when the economy was growing at more than 7 percent but interest rates were as high as 27 percent. In 2006, the central bank reacted to market developments and raised its key lending rate from 16.25 percent to 22.5 percent in two months. Yet the economy grew 7.1 percent that year, he said.

About FROEBEL
FROEBEL Australia is proudly a not-for-profit organisation, established in Sydney in 2009 as a subsidiary of the charitable FRÖBEL Group, based and founded in Berlin in 1990. We operate Bilingual Early Learning Centres in Sydney and Melbourne for children from 6 months to 6 years of age, and initiated the Little Scientists project, a professional development program for early childhood educators and teachers that builds STEM confidence and empowers everyone working with young children aged 3 to 6 years to actively include playful and inquiry-based scientific exploration in their educational practice.
FRÖBEL is Germany's largest non-profit provider of early childhood education and care, with centres across Germany and in Poland and Australia. FRÖBEL operates around 185 nurseries, kindergartens and after-school clubs, as well as other facilities in ten federal states. More than 3,700 employees work together to achieve the best education, upbringing and care of more than 16,500 children.
A unique mix of different cultural and professional backgrounds has ignited a vivid and fascinating educational and philosophical exchange which enriches our organisation & early childhood practice and improves the quality of our work with children every day.
Board of Directors and Advisory Board
Olde Lorenzen has been Managing Director of FROEBEL Australia since 2009, after having worked as solicitor and barrister as well as chief executive in various roles in Germany. Martine Joly, chartered accountant and tax agent, and Stefan Spieker, CEO of FROEBEL's parent organisation, are Non-Executive Directors and members of the board.
FROEBEL is grateful to have a committed and supportive Advisory Board: Dr Wolfgang Babeck works as solicitor both in Australia and in Germany, is Vice-Chairman of the German-Australian Chamber of Industry and Commerce, and has been chairing FROEBEL's Advisory Board since its foundation in 2011. Florian Dehne is Strategy Director at Seek Employment and founder/chairman of Deutsche Schule Melbourne. Peter Tesch accepted our invitation to join the Advisory Board in early 2015. He is Australia's former Ambassador to Germany and currently Ambassador to Russia (since 2016).
Guided by Friedrich Fröbel's philosophy
We are guided by the ideas of Friedrich Fröbel, renowned as the founder of the kindergarten concept in 1837, a pioneer of progressive education, a victim of political persecution, a life-long fighter for children's right to access education and to a protected family life. He was a visionary whose name and work are largely unknown or underestimated - despite the fact that many of Fröbel's ideas are ground-breaking even today. His educational goal was to raise responsible people through a holistic approach to fostering children's learning and development in partnership with their parents.

Dr. David Denkenberger received his B.S. from Penn State in Engineering Science, his M.S.E. from Princeton in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado at Boulder in the Building Systems Program. His dissertation was on his patented expanded microchannel heat exchanger. He is an assistant professor at University of Alaska Fairbanks in mechanical engineering. He co-founded and directs the ALLiance to Feed the Earth in Disasters (ALLFED.info) and donates half his income to it. He received the National Merit Scholarship, the Barry Goldwater Scholarship, the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, is a Penn State distinguished alumnus, and is a registered professional engineer. He has authored or co-authored 94 publications (over 1300 citations, h-index = 17), including the book Feeding Everyone no Matter What: Managing Food Security after Global Catastrophe. His food work has been featured in over 25 countries, over 200 articles, including Science, Wikipedia, Discovery Channel Online News, Gizmodo, Phys.org, and Science Daily. He has given interviews on 80,000 Hours podcast and Estonian Public Radio, WGBH Radio, Boston, and WCAI Radio on Cape Cod, USA. He has given over 90 technical presentations, including ones on food at Princeton University, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Sandia National Lab, Los Alamos National Lab, Cornell University, Imperial College, University College London, University of Cambridge, and University of Oxford.
I think the UK government study I referred to was saying that even the ~1% chance per year of a 10% global food production shortfall now is increased by the climate change we have had so far. So the delta due to slow climate change could be larger. In general, I think it is a good idea for EA to have something to say to people who are interested in climate change. But the conventional emissions reductions that will cost ~$10 trillion present value is generally not very effective. However, I think there could be neglected opportunities that are effective. I talked about one of targeting neglected energy efficiency policy opportunities that reduce CO2 emissions and save money in that same 80,000 Hours interview (near the end). Carl Shulman notes that OPP has found some leveraged opportunities for climate change. Also, FLI and CSER do some work on climate change. The food system resilience work ALLFED does can also be valuable for abrupt regional climate change, where a region can lose 10°C in a decade, which has happened several times in the ice core record.
Thomas Denkenberger (disclosure: my brother) is a financial advisor and an EA. He has been working with me over the last 10 years to use rationality to exploit irrationalities in the market and enable greater donations. As many EAs have pointed out, one should be risk neutral and maximize returns when it comes to investing to give (though of course he can customize if you are risk averse).
Nice post! I don't think we should assume that AI Moore's law would be capped by the regular Moore's law of total compute. If there is a new application of processors that is willing to pay a lot of money for a huge number of processors, I think we would build more chip fabs to keep up with demand. This does not necessarily accelerate the original Moore's law (transistors per chip), but it would accelerate total compute. This would be consistent with Robin Hanson's vision of doubling of value (and I believe ~compute) roughly every month. It's not even clear to me that the chips would be more expensive in such a scenario assuming we actually planned well for it, because generally we have learning where the cost per unit decreases with the cumulative production.
Wow - that is a lot of risk. One would need at least an 11% increase in compensation for negotiation to make sense, even if one were risk neutral. And most people are risk averse, meaning they would need an even bigger payoff, which might not be realistic.
Edit: this is not correct - thanks for people pointing that out!
And why so much focus on math rather than science/engineering?
Right - I'm saying the 2% rescission rate for professor positions is high because of competition (employer has more power), so the rescission rate outside of academia would likely be lower (employee has more power, at least now).
For professor negotiations, this says about 2% of the time you try to bargain, the offer is rescinded. But because university positions are so competitive, I would not be surprised if the general rescinding rate were significantly less than this.
If you would like to talk with more EAs, there is (was?) a program where you would get the contact info of a new EA every month and then you could set up phone/VOIP call with them. I didn't find the program easily online when I just searched, but I'm pretty sure someone else on the forum would have the info.
Wow – then you will have 3 PhDs? Did you consider trying to get into academia with one of your existing PhDs and pivoting towards high impact research? My impression is that a lot of EAs are switching careers, but typically at a much earlier stage. When I tried to find data on how often people switched careers, I found that the US government doesn't have a definition of a career switch and therefore has no data. I think it would be very interesting to compose a spectrum of career changes. Some people consider it a career change to stay in the same field, but e.g. switch from academia to industry. Some people see it as a career change to go from mechanical engineering to civil engineering. Most people do not end up in the same field as their college major (or even close to their college major), so then you could say most college-educated people switch careers.
Interesting analysis. You mean a Benefit to Cost Ratio (BCR) of 0.84. Then the Return On Investment (ROI) would be negative.
Perhaps another way of saying this is that EA should have BHAGs (Big Hairy Audacious Goals). I think Feeding Everyone No Matter What qualifies, though I might be biased.
"digital minds as such are not mere extensions or associations of entities already bearing rights"
I would think the protein substitutes would be a lot cheaper than farmed mice - is that correct? Then it seems like that could substitute for a lot of the non "spectacle of eating live animals" market.
Thanks very much to CEA for doing the recording, editing, and transcription! Also thanks to CEA for the EA grant that has supported some of this work. Mitigating the impact of catastrophes that would disrupt electricity/industry such as solar storm, high altitude electromagnetic pulse, or narrow AI virus, is a parallel effort within The Alliance to Feed the Earth in Disasters (ALLFED) that I did not get a chance to talk about in my 80,000 Hours interview. The Guesstimate model I referred to in the workshop can be found here (blank to avoid anchoring). Also, the three papers involving losing electricity/industry are feeding everyone with the loss of industry, providing nonfood needs with the loss of industry, and feeding everyone losing industry and half of sun. We are still working on the paper for the cost-effectiveness from the long-term future perspective of preparing for these catastrophes, so input is welcome.
There is also the EA MOOC. There does not appear to be a counter - does anyone know how many completions of this course there has been?
I should have said develop safe AI or colonize the galaxy, because I think either one would dramatically reduce the base rate of existential risk. The way I think about the value of nuclear war mitigation being affected by AI timelines is that if AI comes soon, there are fewer years that we are actually threatened by nuclear war. This is one reason I only looked out about 20 years for my cost-effectiveness analysis for alternate foods versus AI. I think these risks could be correlated, because one mechanism of far future impact of nuclear war is worse values ending up in AI (if nuclear war does not collapse civilization).
I think the argument was written up formally on the forum, but I'm not finding it. I think it goes like if the chance of X risk is 0.1%/year, the expected duration of humans is 1000 years. If you decrease the risk to 0.05%/year, the duration is 2000 years, so you have only added a millennium. However, if you get safe AI and colonize the galaxy, you might get billions of years. But I would argue if you reduce the chance that nuclear war destroys civilization (from which we might not recover), then you increase the chances of getting safe AI and colonization, and therefore you can attribute overwhelming value of mitigating nuclear war.
Can it help enable Giving Tuesday matching despite many small donations throughout the year?
I generally agree. The question is whether we should call something an X-risk by the impact if it happens alone or by the impact*probability. If the latter, and if comets are an X-risk, then we should call extreme climate change (and definitely nuclear war) an X-risk.
I think it is useful to discuss qualifies as an X-risk. Asteroid/comet impact is widely regarded as an X-risk, but a big one that could cause human extinction might only have a one in a million probability in the next 100 years. This is a 0.0001% reduction in humanity's long term value. However, if you believe 80,000 Hours that nuclear war might have a ~3% chance in the next 100 years and this could reduce the long term future potential of humanity ~30%, that is a ~1% reduction in the future of humanity this century. So practically speaking, it is much more of an X-risk than asteroids are. Similarly, if you believe 80k that extreme climate change has a ~3% chance in the next 100 years and it reduces the long run potential by ~20%, that is a 0.6% reduction in the long term future of humanity. This again is much larger than asteroids. I personally think the nuclear risk is higher and the climate risk is lower than these numbers. It is true that some of the long-term impact could be classified as trajectory changes rather than traditional X risk. But I think most people are interested in trajectory changes as well.
I'm not sure if this is answering the intent of the question, but one could refer undergrad/grad biologists to the biology part of effective thesis.
But remember, X-risk is not just extinction - there are many routes to long term future impacts from nuclear war - some are mentioned here.
I think EAs should look more into reducing trade barriers, both because of the global poverty benefits, but also because I think countries are less likely to go to (nuclear) war if they are economically dependent on each other.
Cattle's feed climate impact could be reduced if they ate agricultural residues (like they used to and still often do in less developed countries). I don't think that grass fed beef is really better because conventional cattle are grass fed part of their lives, so having some cattle completely grass fed means that the remainder would become a smaller percent grass fed. It looks like a little bit of seaweed reduces the methane from cattle.
Thanks! However, neurons in smaller organisms tend to be smaller. So I think the actual brain mass of humans would be similar to the land arthropods and the nematodes. Fish are larger organisms, so it does look like the brain mass of fish would be significantly larger than humans. There is the question of whether a larger neuron could provide more value or dis-value than a smaller neuron. If it is the same, then neuron count would be the relevant number.
Another way of guarding against being demoralized is comparing one's absolute impact to people outside of EA. For instance, you could take your metric of impact, be it saving lives, improving unit human welfare, reducing animal suffering, or improving the long-term future, and compare the effectiveness of your donation to the average donation. For instance, with the median EA donation of $740, if you thought it were 100 times more effective than the average donation, this would correspond roughly to the 99.9th percentile of income typical donation in the US. And if you thought it were 10,000 times more effective, you could compete with billionaires!
Perhaps for some, but I think most people working on X-risk are primarily altruistically motivated. And for them, it is more important to stay alive in a catastrophe so they can help more. A less extreme version of this is living outside of metros to reduce the chance of being killed in a nuclear war.
Nice work! One more way of teasing out the origin of relatively low donations is asking about net worth. A person may be a full-time nonstudent and have a good salary, but still have college debt and therefore be hesitant to donate a lot.
Very nice piece! So how many plants are there in the world? And why did you choose that rather than motile bacteria? I would guess they would be a better candidate, given they are more numerous and the questionable assertion that the sea squirt eats its brain when it stops swimming around.
I think if EA can expand more with conservatives, it could dramatically increase its giving capability and influence. I'm curious about your assertion that no EA religious person is prioritizing converting people. When I talked to a former evangelical, he said that if you truly believe that people are going to hell if they do not believe in Christianity, then you have this burning desire to convert people-it is your top priority. Please note that there are multiple repeat posts.
I'm not a biologist, but the point is that you can start with a tiny amount of material and still scale up to large quantities extremely quickly with short doubling times. As for competition, there are many ways in which human design technology can exceed (and has exceeded) natural biological organisms' capabilities. These include better materials, not being constrained by evolution, not being constrained by having the organism function as it is built, etc. As for the large end, good point about availability of uranium. But the super intelligence could design many highly transmissible and lethal viruses and hold the world hostage that way. Or think of much more effective ways than we can think of. The point is that we cannot dismiss that the super intelligence could take over the world very quickly.
There are charities that specialize in sponsoring projects to give them tax deductability, one being the Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs.
I would love to see a paper actually breaking out how all the reasons why college has gotten so much more expensive actually contribute quantitatively, but I have not seen it yet. In general, we expect something that is labor dominated to increase faster than inflation, because salaries increase faster than inflation (this is roughly per capita economic growth). But college has increased faster than per capita income. You mention more administrators. Also, there are more services, like career services. You point out that tuition has increased faster than the amount actually paid, because there is more price discrimination. There is also reduced state funding for state colleges (I believe absolute and definitely as a percentage). There may be reduction in mean class sizes-there has been for primary and secondary. There is more technology use inside and outside the classroom - overall I think this has increased efficiency, but it would still probably show up as an increase in tuition. On the side for controlling costs, a much greater proportion of classes are taught by low-paid adjuncts. Also, terms have gotten shorter. Another factor that can control costs is endowments. Princeton has actually reduced its tuition recently because its endowment is so big.
My prior here is brain size weighting for suffering, which means insects are similar importance to humans currently. But I would guess they would be less tractable than humans (though obviously far more neglected). So I think if there could be compelling evidence that we should be weighting insects 5% as much as humans, that would be an enormous update and make invertebrates the dominant consideration in the near future.
Let's say they only mail you as much protein as one full human genome. Then the self-replicating nanotech it builds could consume biomass around it and concentrates uranium (there is a lot in the ocean, e.g.). Then since I believe the ideal doubling time is around 100 seconds, it would take about 2 hours to get 1 million intercontinental ballistic missiles. That is probably optimistic, but I think days is reasonable - no lawyers required.
I think it would be very helpful to do an explicit cost effectiveness model for approval voting. Of course there would be a lot of uncertainty, but not necessarily more than AI or alternate foods. It could be for the present generation (like this or this for alternate foods) or for the long term future, like this for alternate foods and AI. Then we would have at least some quantitative way of comparing.
Nice writeup. One big advantage of fungus-based meat substitutes is that they can grow on waste products (lowering cost and environmental impact). This is typically done for mushrooms, but not Quorn. Does anyone know why?
Some possibilities for rapid gain in thinking speed/intelligence are here.
"So let's say you have an Artificial Intelligence that thinks enormously faster than a human. How does that affect our world? Well, hypothetically, the AI solves the protein folding problem. And then emails a DNA string to an online service that sequences the DNA, synthesizes the protein, and fedexes the protein back. The proteins self-assemble into a biological machine that builds a machine that builds a machine and then a few days later the AI has full-blown molecular nanotechnology."
I haven't read much deep ecology either. Seth Baum has written that some people think there is intrinsic value in functioning ecosystems - presumably these people would want the ecosystems to continue as a garden world. Other people value biodiversity (number of species). But you're right that some just want whatever would have happened naturally.
Reflecting on the mirror test - nice pun!
Should we be spending no less on alternate foods than AI now?
Futures of altruism special issue?
Saving expected lives at $10 apiece?

UWO Community Gardens looking to grow
by Contributor | Oct 7, 2008 | Sustainability
The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Community Gardens project started in 2006 when a group of students decided to create an organic garden on campus as a way to build community and connect us to the earth. While the garden would be on campus, the goal was for it to eventually become a place where people in Oshkosh could also have garden space, which is difficult to find in the city.
The basic purpose of the community gardens was to have a space where community members could get to know one another while taking care of one of our basic needs — nutritious food. Since no two people garden exactly the same way, you can always learn new things and teach things to other people. You can share seeds at the beginning and crops at the end of the season.
You can share recipes, tools and local news; find out where a good local band is playing; or where that new store that a friend just opened up is. The point is that when community comes together, it becomes one entity helping itself become stronger instead of small fragments worried about property lines or that their neighbor's grass is too long or full of weeds.
The nutritive value of food is seriously lacking in grocery-chain stores partly because of questionable growing and processing methods and partly because of the distance food has to travel from origin to shelf. If food is grown in the community, you know where your food comes from and how it's grown, and you can contribute that much less to pollution and fuel consumption.
Try to imagine a scenario where the food trucks stop delivering the food that we are dependent on. What then? What if we have lost the ability to live as a self-sustaining community and our infrastructure lets us down? In addition, there have been studies that show how nutrition is linked positively to behavior; schools with healthy lunch programs generally have better behaved students.
The UW Oshkosh Community Gardens site is located at 663 w. 3rd Avenue, a half-block west of Ohio Street. We broke ground in June, and a few students planted the first crops. In early September, we planted some fall/winter crops, using cold-frames in the hopes to extend the season as long as possible. There are more students in the area during the "off-season" for gardening, so by turning the "off-season" into more of an "on-season," we are able to include a potentially greater number of interested students in the project.
For the moment, the gardens are open only to UW Oshkosh students because of liability issues. We are hoping, with the aid of University administration, that we can resolve those issues by next spring so that we can invite the community of Oshkosh to join us and truly make it a community garden. Then we can use it to bridge the gap between campus and community.
The UW Oshkosh Community Gardens is managed by a student organization on campus simply named "Community Gardens." The purpose of the organization is to maintain and promote the campus garden while engaging students in activities that encourage self-sufficiency, sustainability and community connection.
For example, we are experimenting with the practice of permaculture in the garden; that is, we are creating natural habitat in the garden wherever we can in attempt to mimic as close as possible the natural ecosystems. It probably goes without saying that we are 100 percent organic (though not certified yet), and by using these ecosystems, we support natural predators to prey on garden pests, and encourage soil microbes and invertebrates to help enrich the soil, negating the need for synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. We will have workshops for building eco-friendly signage for the garden, bird and bat house building, canning and preserving, and gardening anywhere — even in a dorm room. We show films about sustainability and have guest speakers as well as field trips to local farms and community gardens.
The students are an integral part of this group, as they are the ones who run the gardens. The students in this group come from diverse majors, including education, business, science, environmental studies and communications. Each student has their own unique background, interests and skill set, and we contribute what we know to help the garden evolve into something that reflects the people gardening in it.
For example, those interested in education can use the garden as a teaching tool to keep children engaged in one of the oldest traditions on the planet, to teach them self-sufficiency and the importance of cultivating relationships with neighbors. If someone is interested in honing their skills in promotions or business planning, they can certainly gain some experience while helping the group to better manage and promote the gardens, especially when the larger community gets involved.
The organization would like to expand its scope to take on challenges like the Campus Kitchens Project, recycling food from the campus cafeterias that would otherwise be thrown out, to help to feed the hungry. We would like to donate food to kitchens like the Salvation Army as well as volunteer to work in those kitchens. Gardening doesn't have to take place in the dirt; the mission and vision of this group can be expressed through actions in the community to make it stronger in every conceivable aspect.
The campus garden is one part of fulfilling the Campus Sustainability Plan announced in April 2008, and it is important to the University as a model of sustainable practices. It's a place where education can be extended and mixed with social life. It's a place to learn transferrable skills from peers in areas that are perhaps not otherwise accessible. Overall, the garden is a model of social community cultivated by the students to grow an appreciation for nature while learning to live in harmony with it.
If you are interested in joining the Community Gardens organization, contact Damion Drover gardens@uwosh.edu.
This essay was submitted by the Community Gardens student organization. Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to contribute calendar items, campus announcements and other good news to UW Oshkosh Today. Click here to submit.

Terry Glavin: The scale of the disaster unfolding in B.C. is unprecedented
Opinion: The sheer damage to basic infrastructure caused by the flooding is catching everyone unprepared

VICTORIA — At some point in the coming days the penny will drop, and we'll all be seized of the implications attending to the ongoing disaster on Canada's west coast. First the rain, then the wind, and soon, everything will be freezing. For starters, if you think the Canadian economy is beset by global "supply chain" bottlenecks now, you just wait.
The Port of Vancouver, North Fraser, Fraser-Surrey Docks and Deltaport are now cut off from the rest of Canada, by road and by rail. Both CN Rail and CP Rail are assessing the extent of the damage to their rail lines in the Fraser Valley and Fraser Canyon districts. Neither company knows when the trains will be moving again.
Terry Glavin: The scale of the disaster unfolding in B.C. is unprecedented Back to video
The worst rail disruptions may last only a few days, but the Coquihalla Highway — the main road route connecting Metro Vancouver with British Columbia's southern interior and points east, with roughly three-quarters of a million commercial truck transits every year — is gone. Deputy British Columbia Premier Mike Farnsworth says it may take "several weeks or months" to re-open the highway.
The Coquihalla highway is completely snapped in two. Surreal to see from the air. #bcstorm #bcfloods @GlobalBC pic.twitter.com/IRNUmlsoLl
— Kamil Karamali (@KamilKaramali) November 16, 2021
Owing to several washouts and mudslides, the old southerly route — Highway 3, snaking through the Cascades, Monashees and Selkirk mountains to the Crowsnest Pass in the Rockies — is impassable. The Fraser Canyon route, northward from Hope, about 130 kilometres east of Vancouver, has been smashed by rockslides and waterfalls that burst out of nowhere from the Coast mountains over the weekend.
CP Rail is looking to divert shipping traffic via Portland, Oregon, but restoring east-west overland connections by American routes won't be easy. Washington State is a mess, too. Floodwaters from the Nooksack River have poured across the Canada-U.S. border into the Fraser Valley. Sumas Lake, an ancient waterbody drained to create farmland back in the 1920s, is a lake again today. Thousands of people have been evacuated.
About 280 kilometres east of Vancouver by a now non-functioning road, the Tulameen and Similkameen Rivers broke their dykes and burst their banks on Monday, and the rivers are now flowing through much of the town of Princeton. The temperature is dropping below freezing, the natural gas line that heats local homes is broken, the town's water systems are wrecked, and nobody knows when things will be "normal" again.
While Princeton was drowning, the Coldwater River was venting its rage on the town of Merritt, 90 kilometres north of Princeton, and the entire community has been shut down because of the "immediate danger to public health and safety." Roughly 7,000 people have been ordered to make their way to emergency centres in Kamloops and Kelowna.
And that's just a snapshot of the misery British Columbians are enduring.
The devastation from last summer's heat wave and its wildfires disrupted rail and road transport too, and while the immediate human cost was far greater, it was nothing like this, in terms of damage to basic infrastructure and transportation capacity. Five months ago the province was on fire and everybody prayed for the healing rain, but B.C.'s provincial authorities appear to have been as unprepared for the shock of the "atmospheric river" that has deluged British Columbia as they were for the "heat dome" that hovered over the province for those six brutal days in June.
The heat broke dozens of temperature records. The town of Lytton was quickly incinerated following several days of killing heat. At one point Lytton was 49.6 C, hotter than anywhere on any day in Canadian history, hotter than Death Valley that day, hotter than anything ever recorded above the 45th parallel anywhere on the planet. And yes, of course what happened last summer, and what is happening now, are catastrophes consistent with models developed by the International Panel on Climate Change, going back decades, that predicted extreme weather events set in motion by global warming.
And yes, the just-concluded COP26 extravaganza in Glasgow was seized of all this, despite the chasm that persists between what the world's presidents, prime ministers, strongmen and supreme leaders say they're prepared to do, and what the loudest activist voices say we all need to do. But we could do with a lot less of the punditry making the rounds to the effect that the crisis on Canada's west coast is a teachable moment, or some sort of consciousness-raising opportunity, to the effect that Canadians need to wake up about the reality of climate change. We're awake, already. Only one in ten Canadians subscribe to the notion that human activities have no meaningful impact on global climate. British Columbians, perhaps particularly, have been awake for years.
The fact remains that Canada's contribution to the loading of greenhouse gases in the upper atmosphere is less than two per cent, and while we owe it to the planet, to humanity and to ourselves to scale back the damage we're doing, what is needed more than anything is preparedness, armouring, hunkering down a bit. And Canada is doing a lousy job of that. British Columbia is clearly doing a lousy job of that. Canada is warming at twice the global rate, and in the interior and the north, it's more like three times the global rate. Bicycle lanes and electric cars aren't going to do much about that.
Last summer, B.C.'s Emergency Health Services didn't get the province's emergency operations centre up and running to coordinate the response to the killing heat dome until things started to cool down. And now we have Mike Farnworth, who is supposed to be B.C.'s public safety minister, shrugging off the province's latest excesses of unpreparedness by pointing his finger at local municipalities.
The B.C. Alert system that's supposed to send text messages to British Columbians in harm's way wasn't activated, and it should come as cold comfort to the hundreds of British Columbians trapped overnight between highway mudslides that Farnsworth says the problem was with local communities and their local emergency plans.
At least Environment Canada issued a warning last Friday that the atmospheric river was headed towards the coast. That's something, you could say. But it took hours on Sunday for Emergency Info B.C. to start issuing notices, and they sounded a lot like the sort of thing everybody on the B.C. coast is accustomed to in any November.
This isn't any November. The world has changed. The climate has changed. There are things we can do, and there are things beyond our control. One thing we can do is hold off on the hectoring "we told you so" global-warming taunts, and spend more time focusing on how to take care of one another. We should be getting ready for the worse that's bound to come.
Let's start there.

How to Build and Grow a Thriving Community for Your Nonprofit with Itse Hesse
What started with an Instagram post in early 2020 has grown to a collective of hundreds.
Since immigrating to Canada from Nigeria, Itse Hesse struggled with the lack of safe spaces for Black women to connect with and support each other. She officially founded the Black Girl Collective (BGC) in July 2020. What began on a whim as an Instagram account grew into a vibrant and inclusive community of Black women and non-binary people.
In this episode, I talk to Itse about why and how she founded BGC and what she has learned along the way about building a thriving community, online and off.

After Yet Another Equifax Hack, IRS Suspends Contract Worth $7.5M
Posted by ctonetworks On November 2, 2017
Equifax just can't seem to get out of its own way.
Not long ago, the company suffered a massive data breach which saw the sensitive information of more than 145 million consumers exposed.
As a result, congressional hearings were convened, and the CEO resigned in disgrace. Amazingly, though, despite these events, the IRS opted to award the company a contract worth $7.5 million for its help and expertise in verifying taxpayer identification to prevent identity theft.
The irony did not escape the notice of security professionals around the world, who wrote literally hundreds of Op-ed and protest pieces.
Then, Equifax got hacked again. The company's website was found to have been hacked, redirecting users to a malicious site that sent them to download adware.
Almost as soon as the issue was discovered, Equifax took the page down, insisting that this latest hack was due to a third-party contractor and did not constitute another breach of their network. However, that explanation was insufficient to the IRS, which suspended the recently awarded contract in response.
The decision has real and immediate impact on the nation's tax payers because it will prevent them from creating new accounts through the IRS's "Secure Access" program, which provides taxpayer access to transcripts and other records. If you already have an account set up, you will not be impacted.
The decision to pull the contract was seen as a positive development by the congressional committee convened to hold hearings on the matter, which concluded that, given the company's recent track record, there was no real way to argue that this somehow increased user security.
On the other hand, as was pointed out by IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, the move would prevent literally thousands of recent hurricane victims from accessing their tax information.
Both points are true, but it's hard to see how it could be argued that pulling the contract was the wrong move, even if it temporarily inconveniences a small percentage of taxpayers.

About Maiden Castle
Maiden Castle is vast, well preserved Iron Age hill fort in Dorchester. Its name is believed to be derived from two Celtic words, 'Mai' and 'Dun', meaning "Great Hill". Imposing and incredibly complex, Maiden Castle would certainly have posed a great challenge to anyone wishing to invade it!
Maiden Castle history
Whilst the site was initially occupied during the Neolithic period, the structure of Maiden Castle was built in the early Iron Age, circa 600 BC.
It would have started as a small settlement, but as its society grew so did Maiden Castle. At its peak, the site would have been heavily populated, filled with houses and workshops and would have been the size of fifty football pitches! Its immense scale was both intimidating to any enemies and a symbol of the power of its inhabitants.
In 43 AD, the Romans invaded Britain and within a few generations the inhabitants of Maiden Hill moved to nearby Durnovaria (modern day Dorchester).
Several fascinating finds have been made at Maiden Castle. For example, the archaeologist Mortimer Wheeler found an Iron Age cemetery there. Wheeler originally thought that this was a war graveyard and that those interred there were casualties from when the Romans invaded the site, yet with little evidence that the Romans ever invaded Maiden Castle, it is now considered more likely that this was a cemetery for the area's inhabitants.
Nevertheless, the Romans did make a mark on the site of Maiden Castle. In the 4th century they built a temple there, the foundation stone of which is still in place, which was possibly used by the cult of Minerva.
Maiden Castle today
Today, Maiden Castle is an English Heritage site and is open to the public. Visitors can traverse its massive earthworks stretching over the hilltop, where it is easy to see their use both for defence and as an impressive display of power.
The hill fort had an eastern and a western entrance each with two portals that can still be viewed today, while outside the eastern entrance was a blacksmith's workshop. The Romano-British temple is the only remaining structure within the fort, which consisted of a central room surrounded by a passage and a portico leading outside.
Getting to Maiden Castle
Maiden Castle is located Dorset, 2 miles southwest of Dorchester just off the A354 with parking available at the site. The nearest train station is Dorchester South/West, while the Damory 1 bus service to Maiden Castle Lane stops half a mile from the site.

Trial & Error boss on season 3 renewal status, shopping for new outlets: 'I'm trying to maintain optimism'

Like its scrappy cast of characters, Trial & Error isn't giving up hope.
Showrunner Jeff Astrof tells EW he's staying "optimistic" about the critically-acclaimed but low-rated series, despite the fact that NBC's option to renew the mockumentary, currently airing its Kristin Chenoweth-fronted second season, lapsed this week. Warner Bros. TV, the series' producing studio, is now shopping the comedy elsewhere, as the series regulars' contracts have not yet expired.
"I'm trying to maintain optimism," Astrof says. "It's very easy to be sad and depressed, and if I find out every network and every streamer passed on season 3 of the show, I'm still not going to give up hope until the last second… I let NBC know in advance that this would happen. It's not playing hardball — it's that I owe it to myself, I owe it to the fans, I owe it to the cast, and I owe it to this little world that we created to keep it going."
Trial & Error, which is told in the style of true-crime documentaries and follows young New York lawyer Josh (Nicholas D'Agosto) attempting to handle big cases in the small, strange town of East Peck, had already been fighting an uphill battle to make season 2 happen. Production moved from Burbank to the more cost-effective Vancouver, cuts were made to the writing staff, and the schedule was kept as tight as possible; according to Astrof, the 10-episode season 2 was shot in just 45 days. The biggest obstacle, though, was the show's time slot: NBC had slated the second season for the summer, leaving it relatively unmoored, as the series is airing without comedy lead-ins and has been relegated to airing two episodes per week.
Then again, the ratings "have not been strong," Astrof admits, adding that he understands NBC's call to leave the series in limbo. "I don't want to crap on NBC, because they did air us and they picked us up for two seasons… In fact, I spoke to my contact at NBC today who gave me notes on the final episode, and my reaction was, 'Are you kidding me?' but also, I still work there, and we talked candidly about it. I said, 'I feel like you and I are in a burning building with Dixie cups full of water,' and he said, 'You know what, we're going to keep putting water on the flames until the end.'
"NBC is candid with me," he adds. "They were like, 'Look, we want to be clear that it's not canceled, but on the other hand, we have a very full schedule.' So I'm not saying NBC is out of [the running to renew the series] by any means, but they were pretty clear that at this point they knew I'd be shopping it around… I would love it for NBC to call us today, but I don't anticipate that necessarily."

Even so, the network has had a recent track record of granting resurrections — even if they're in TV movie form — and picked up Brooklyn Nine-Nine after the comedy was axed by Fox. That move had given Astrof hope: "When Brooklyn Nine-Nine got picked up, I know people thought, 'Oh no, there goes the Trial & Error slot,' but I thought, 'No, that's amazing news. That's a companion show. From the beginning, they told us, 'We don't really have any comedies to pair you with.'"
After all, Trial & Error, with its serialized storytelling (each season follows a new case), requires viewers to tune in to every episode from the beginning — which is why Astrof thinks the comedy could do well on a streaming platform. "The show was meant to be binge-watched," he says. "It was based on The Staircase. I don't want to eliminate any [potential streamers interested in the series] but initially, when I came up with the idea for the show, I was binge-watching shows on Netflix, and I thought, 'Wow, what about this for Netflix?'… That's what I'm looking for in a home now."
Whatever happens, Astrof says he at least has a story in mind for season 3, to tackle an older case from East Peck's history. "In my mind, it's going to be based on a case that we mentioned already in the first two seasons, and it's going to be loosely based on [Netflix docuseries] Wild Wild Country, [the 1996 documentary] Paradise Lost, and a podcast called The Long Dance," he explains. "It's a podcast about the only unsolved murder in North Carolina history, and it's a 1970s case, and I thought…if I had to do an unsolved case from 1994, East Peck in 1994 equals the 1970s in the rest of America," he laughs.
But for now, Astrof's just hoping to find that third season a platform. "I want to keep our show alive, that's my goal," he says. "I'm looking for any place that will take us. Trial & Error is my firstborn baby, and I'm going to do everything I can to get it to season 3."
Trial & Error airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.
