Is Capitalism Failing the Middle Class? Nobel Laureate's Working Paper Seems to Indicate So
Posted by Mark at 2:00 PM TweetThis
While dabbling in the dark arts of economics myself, I am certainly no Nobel Laureate; indeed I have a tough time even spelling "Laureate". That said, in the earliest days of this website (2007) I wrote one of the most popular entries - Do The Bottom 80% of Americans Stand a Chance? [see here]. While that was still early in the housing crisis and part of the piece focused on the damage that was to come due to the reliance on the home equity ATM, much of the piece was devoted to structural changes happening in terms of globalization, inflation, wage stagnation, and the growing income inequality. A few years later (2009) I found a research report by Citigroup describing America as a "Modern Day Plutonomy" [see here]
In a "plutonomy", according to Citigroup global strategist Ajay Kapur, economic growth is powered by and largely consumed by the wealthy few.
There have been quite a few other stories along the way, but the reality is in return for cheaper prices, many Americans - especially in the lower 2/3rds - have lost a grip on what used to be a middle class lifestyle. We still seem to be in denial about this, and frankly even if we were not still in the denial stage, finding solutions would be extremely difficult. As investors we need to focus on the reality of what is... and in the U.S. that means a barbell approach - focus on companies serving the top end, and the low end - as the middle is being hollowed out. And as I often write, this is not bad for "humankind" as many in relatively poor countries now move up the food chain - but not without a cost for those in relatively rich countries.
The most excellent journalist Cynthia Freeland highlighted a paper - The Evolving Structure of the American Economy and the Employment Challenge - by Nobel Laureate Michael Spence, which essentially comes to the same conclusions I've been writing about for nearly 4 years. She declares (or her headline writers declares!) 'Capitalism is Failing the Middle Class'. It is definitely an interesting read for those interested on the topic, so I thought I'd highlight it. The variance between the tradable sector (i.e. areas that jobs that can be outsourced) versus nontradable is striking, but we've discussed that in length before as all the net job growth in the country of late has been in government, healthcare, and education - the latter two heavily supported by taxpayer, and impossible to outsource en masse.
PDF file for the original paper.
This Working Paper by Nobel Laureate Michael Spence and Sandile Hlatshwayo is a detailed examination of the changing shape of the American economy and the effect of these changes on the labor market and the cost of goods. Spence and Hlatshwayo focus on trends in value added per employee in the tradable and nontradable sectors over the past twenty years.
They note that the American economy has seen the lower and middle components of the value-added chain moving to the rapidly growing markets abroad and warn that soon higher-paying jobs may follow low-paying jobs in leaving the United States.
The actions of the free market have made goods less expensive for Americans, but the free flow of labor and capital has also diminished the employment opportunities available in the United States and will, the authors warn, continue to do so at all levels of society. Spence and Hlatshwayo suggest that policymakers acknowledge the trade-off between the cost of goods and the availability of jobs, and they explore policies that may improve it. While the authors acknowledge that there is no simple policy fix to improve the trade-off between inexpensive goods and diminished domestic job opportunities, they argue that given the political salience of the issues at stake, policymakers must work to tackle this enormous question of inequality and economic distribution.
Here is Cynthia's take on the subject:
Global capitalism isn't working for the American middle class. That isn't a headline from the left-leaning Huffington Post, or a comment on Glenn Beck's right-wing populist blackboard. It is, instead, the conclusion of a rigorous analysis bearing the imprimatur of the U.S. establishment: the paper's lead author is Michael Spence, recipient of the Nobel Prize in economic sciences, and it was published by the Council on Foreign Relations.
Spence and his co-author, Sandile Hlatshwayo, examined the changes in the structure of the U.S. economy, particularly employment trends, over the past 20 years. They found that value added per U.S. worker increased sharply during that period – 21 per cent for the economy as a whole, and 44 per cent in the "tradable" sector, which is geek-speak for those businesses integrated into the global economy. But even as productivity soared, wages and job opportunities stagnated.
The take-away is this: Globalization is making U.S. companies more productive, but the benefits are mostly being enjoyed by the C-suite. The middle class, meanwhile, is struggling to find work, and many of the jobs available are poorly paid.
Spence is neither a protectionist nor a Luddite. He prominently notes the benefit to consumers of globalization: "Many goods and services are less expensive than they would be if the economy were walled off from the global economy, and the benefits of lower prices are widespread." He also points to the positive impact of globalization on much of what we used to call the Third World, particularly in China and India: "Poverty reduction has been tremendous, and more is yet to come."
Spence's paper should be read alongside the work that David Autor, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has been doing on the impact of the technology revolution on U.S. jobs. In an echo of Spence, Autor finds that technology has had a "polarizing" impact on the U.S. work force – it has made people at the top more productive and better paid and hasn't had much effect on the "hands-on" jobs at the bottom of the labor force. But opportunities and salaries in the middle have been hollowed out.
Taken together, here's the big story Spence and Autor tell about the U.S. and world economies: Globalization and the technology revolution are increasing productivity and prosperity. But those rewards are unevenly shared – they are going to the people at the top in the United States, and enriching emerging economies over all. But the American middle class is losing out.
To Americans in the middle, it may seem surprising that it takes a Nobel laureate and sheaves of economic data to reach this unremarkable conclusion. But the analysis and its impeccable provenance matter, because this basic truth about how the world economy is working today is being ignored by most of the politicians in the United States and denied by many of its leading business people.
Spence says that as he was doing his research, he was often asked what "market failure" was responsible for these outcomes: Where were the skewed incentives, flawed regulations or missing information that led to this poor result? That question, Spence says, misses the point. "Multinational companies," he said, "are doing exactly what one would expect them to do. The resulting efficiency of the global system is high and rising. So there is no market failure."
This conclusion is a very big deal – Spence is telling us that global capitalism is working the way it should, but that the American middle class is losing out anyway. Since global capitalism is the best way we've come up with so far to run our economy, that creates quite a dilemma.
Spence is honest enough to admit that he has no easy answers. But he has posed the right question. American politicians in both parties are focused on a budget debate that is superficial, premature and ultimately about something pretty easy to figure out. Instead, we should all be working on the much bigger problem of how to make capitalism work for the American middle class.

Being licked to death by kittens
(idea) by RimRod Thu Mar 29 2001 at 3:55:23
Probably the happiest way to die you can possibly think of, not counting death by orgasm.
I try to use this phrase in conversation at least once a week. For example:
You: Man, that's a horrible way to die...with all the scarring and fire and explosions and whatnot.
Me: Yeah, I'd much rather be licked to death by kittens.
Me: So, how do you feel about world peace?
You: Well, it's better than a kick in the teeth.
Me: Ah, but is it better than being licked to death by kittens?
With some help and guidance, you too can be licked to death by kittens.

Getting a little piece of the ocean is the San Diego dream, but for these next clients a view of the sea was a surprise! After searching for the perfect piece of land, they found a little plot that ran right along the edge of a beautiful state preserve where the natural beauty of neighboring trees and boulders would be their backyard. Little did they know, by building up, they'd find a view of the big blue. Of course, this was more than a chance for an ocean view. This was their chance to build their dream home—a two-story mid-century modern vision—and it was our team who came in to see that the design fit that vision.
From the beginning, these clients wanted comfort while still being modern. Our goal was to help them achieve that welcoming feel and contemporary style while keeping it timeless. They trusted us and were willing to try out ideas which made the process an amazing experience. From paint and flooring to knobs and accessories—the design required that every detail be planned and executed with intention. While we worked on keeping the design on track, the architect and contractor moved step-by-step through the red tape that surrounds building a home next to a nature preserve. After three-and-a-half years, we finally moved in their furniture and placed every carefully planned accessory to bring them the home of their dreams!
When it comes to Mid-Century Modern design, accessories are minimal but crucial. Because the design needs to be kept simple, the details need to be chosen with a purpose. Throughout all of the bedrooms, we made sure to use art and minimal accessories to create a strong style without overcrowding.
A staircase is of course functional, but it can also be a statement. With the rich colored wood and metal details, this staircase provides access to both floors and contributes to that modern look.
Extremely cozy and a little retro, the media room provides a comfortable place to hang out. Complete with a small kitchenette for drinks and snacks, this is the room where "Netflix and Chill" is meant to happen!
Hello, windows! This home was meant to invite the outdoors in through the use of floor to ceiling windows. We love how the dining room is framed by the nature preserve and features natural textures and colors to compliment the beautiful surroundings.
We love a bright and airy kitchen. This one is not only lovely but it connects to the living room and upstairs patio making it just right for entertaining.
We absolutely loved working on this project and poured our hearts into every detail from the ground up. We have to say, there's no better feeling than seeing what you've worked on for so long come to fruition. Plus, it's even better to see your dear and beloved clients finally get their dream home. They were amazing to work with and we were honored to be their design team. May they enjoy their beautiful home for years to come! Thanks for reading!

Louisiana nonprofit wins $1 million humanitarian award
Friday, Nov. 11, 2022
WASHINGTON — Community Renewal International, a nonprofit in Shreveport, La. is this year's winner of the Opus Prize, a $1 million award for advancing humanitarian work.
The Opus Prize is given to an unsung hero of any faith tradition from anywhere in the world "who is solving today's most persistent social problems," said a news release on the award.
The award was announced Nov. 3 at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. Catholic University assisted this year with the award by identifying nominees, helping narrow the list of potential winners, sending delegations of students, faculty and staff on site visits to learn about the nominees' efforts, and hosting the finalists.
The Opus Prize is awarded on Catholic university campuses each year. Catholic University last participated with the Opus Prize in 2007.
Community Renewal works in both the United States and Africa to renew cities through restoring relationships. It focuses on three primary strategies – Renewal Team, Haven House and Friendship House – to turn neighborhoods into safe havens of friendship and support. It boasts on its website that major crime has dropped an average of 55 percent in its Friendship House areas.
Community Renewal has worked in Minneapolis; Washington, D.C.; Fort Worth and Palestine, Texas; Lawton and Shawnee, Oklahoma; and Ringgold, La. It also has two projects in Cameroon.
Among those who have endorsed Community Renewal's work are retired television newscaster Tom Jarriel, Habitat for Humanity founder Millard Fuller, pro golfers David Toms and Hal Sutton, and former Navy Secretary John Dalton.
Mack McCarter, the founder and coordinator of Community Renewal, is an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). In 1991, after pastoring churches for 18 years, he moved with his family to his native Shreveport to realize his vision of renewing communities by restoring relationships.
McCarter's many honors include the Catholic Church Extension Society's 2019-2020 Lumen Christi Award; the Sister Margaret McCaffrey Award for outstanding service to the community in 2012; the Sacred Heart Humanitarian of the Year Award in 2008; and the Red Mass Society of Shreveport's Red Mass honoree of the year in 2001.
Two other finalists for the Opus Prize were awarded $100,000: Sister Annie Credidio, a Sister of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who founded Damien House, a residential hospital in Guayaquil, Ecuador, for people living with Hansen's disease; and Imam Muhammad Nurayn Ashafa and Pastor James Movel Wuye, honored jointly as co-founders of the Interfaith Mediation Center in Kaduna, Nigeria, an organization dedicated to promoting peace through dialogue amid Christian-Muslim strife.

Q: Mono: Change 'unpack' directory with the Mac Installer I created an application in MonoDevelop, the application runs correctly (as far as I know) as I have ran it through MoMA and it is basically a direct port from Windows.
I downgraded MonoDevelop to 2.8 so I can use the 'Create Mac Installer' as mkbundle was failing a lot and nearly no information exists on the internet about the errors it has (mkbundle was being ran on OS X 10.7 to build a OS X application)
So, basically, after the downgrade, I finally got it packaging correctly and creating an installer.  The installer works.  I ran 'installer' in Terminal to test that it works correctly, and it does.
Except for where it is installing.  It is 'unpacking' the .app file to the bin folder of the project.  That has to be a setting somewhere, as I am running the installer from my Dropbox folder which doesn't even contain the project.
My question is: How do I change the directory that the .app file will be deployed to?  (It is going to be a daemon if that matters where I put it, please tell me, as I have never developed for OS X before this.)
Thanks!

A: Unnecessary.
The packager will look for a pre-existing .app and overwrite it, rather than putting it in /Applications.
The problem is that there will always be a .app file on the developer's machine.  Everything will work, it just won't work correctly on the dev machine.

The charity's projections show kidney cancer cases climbing by a further 26% by 2035, which would make it one of the fastest growing types of cancer.
Although this is an observational study, confidence in the link is improved by its consistency with existing knowledge and research on the benefits of physical activity and the graded response in the results.
STRIVE is a longitudinal, prospective, observational study that will enroll up to 120,000 women at the time of their screening mammogram to train and validate a blood test to detect breast cancer. Additionally, the study will be used to develop a pan-cancer test to detect multiple cancers at early stages.
To mimic the interactions between metastatic breast cancer cells and bone cells in a living system in the lab, Zhang and his colleagues developed a bone metastasis model, called bone-in culture array, by fragmenting mouse bones that already contain breast cancer cells.
Some of the research that's taken place since CRISPR burst onto the scene has also raised more questions than answers. The immune system is a powerful and complicated machine, and we don't yet understand how to control it.
XBiotech's efforts to shade Xilonix's clinical failings amounted to little more than hand waving when it mattered most. European regulators at the oral explanation meeting on Thursday were not fooled.
The EMA's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use — the CHMP — put together an informal trend vote on the biotech's application for Xilonix as a new drug for colorectal cancer, providing a hard signal the formal vote will go against XBiotech after concluding the biotech has no data to prove that the drug works.
"Were a rapid resolution on the future location of the EMA not to materialize, or if the future seat of the European Medicines Agency were to fail in terms of establishing its minimum prerequisites, the quality of its work and the future of the European Medicines Regulatory Network would be placed in jeopardy."

Q: Javascript promises: UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning I'm new to Javascript Promises. I'm trying to perform a MySQL query in Promises based style I've been scratching my head for over half an hour but I still can't find the problem in this code. I'm using this article as a reference.
mysql file
const mysql = require('mysql')
const Config = require('./Config.js');

let connection = mysql.createPool({
    connectionLimit: Config.mysql.connectionLimit,
    host:   Config.mysql.host,
    user: Config.mysql.user,
    password: Config.mysql.password,
    database: Config.mysql.database,
    multipleStatements: true,
});

module.exports = {
    query: function(query, binds) {
        return new Promise((resolve, reject)=>{
            connection.query(query, binds, (error, ret)=>{
                if(error)
                    return reject(error);
                else
                    resolve(ret);
            })
        })
    },

    close: function() {
        return new Promise((resolve, reject)=>{
            connection.end((error)=>{
                if(error)
                    return reject(error);
                else
                    resolve();
            });
        });
    }
}

actual script
const Mysql = require('mysql file');

try {

Mysql.query("SELECT `password` \
            FROM `m_users` \
            WHERE `email` = ?",
            ['user@domain.tld'])
    .then(ret=>{
        if(ret.email)
            return res.send({
                params: req.body,
                message: 'Email address has already been taken.',
            })
    })
    .catch(error=>{
        throw error;

    })

catch( e )
{
    console.log(e); // is never reached
}

throw error is never fired. Instead in my node console I receive the following error:

(node:8684) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE: Table 'forge.m_users' doesn't exist
........backtrace here .......
(node:8684) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). (rejection id: 1)

I know the table does not exist. I'm interested in finding out why .catch does not handle the error. What am I doing wrong? :/

A: This is an anti-pattern (but you're not by far the first person to do it!):
.catch(error=>{
    throw error;

})

What that says is "Create a new promise" (because catch creates a promise) "and if the original promise rejects, reject it with the exact same rejection reason (error)." So it's basically a no-op, it doesn't do anything. It's the promise equivalent of:
try {
    // something
} catch (error) {
    throw error;
}

Since it doesn't do anything, consider what the code looks like without it — the code is breaking one of the fundamental rules of promises, which is "handle rejections or pass the chain to something else that will." :-)
If you want to handle the rejection, don't throw from catch:
Mysql.query("SELECT `password` \
        FROM `m_users` \
        WHERE `email` = ?",
        ['user@domain.tld'])
.then(ret=>{
    if(ret.email) {
        return res.send({
            params: req.body,
            message: 'Email address has already been taken.',
        });
    }
})
.catch(error=>{
    // Use `error` here without `throw`ing -- report it, put it in a log, etc.
});

In an update to the question you show that you have all of your code using the promises in a try/catch:
try {
    Mysql.query(/*...*/)
    .then(/*...*/)
    .catch(error=>{
        throw error;
    });
}
catch( e )
{
    console.log(e); // is never reached
}

In a non-async function, try/catch can't catch promise rejections, because by the time the promise is rejected, execution has already left the try block. When using promises directly, you use the catch method instead. Or you use async functions (more below).

Side note: Node.js has had support for async functions for a while now, which tend to be a bit simpler to write. Within an async function, your code could be:
// Within an `async` function
try {
    const ret = await Mysql.query("SELECT `password` \
            FROM `m_users` \
            WHERE `email` = ?",
            ['user@domain.tld']);
    if(ret.email) {
        return res.send({
            params: req.body,
            message: 'Email address has already been taken.',
        });
    }
} catch (error) {
    // Use `error` here without `throw`ing -- report it, put it in a log, etc.
}

Using async at the top level of a module is coming soon, too...

In a comment you've asked:

I'm building an MVC API and I run more promise-based procedures in the same controller method. I'd like to return a message once an exception has been encountered and stop continuing the execution of the next other promised-based procedures. I'm bound to using async/await method or is there another way?

You don't have to use async/await if you don't want to, no; they just make things simpler (in my view).
If you don't want to use async/await, in the fulfillment callback you're passing then, return the promise from the next operation. That makes the promise then fulfill or reject based on what the promise frm the next operation does — in promise jargon, it resolves the promise from then to the one from the next operation.
Code is worth 1024 words, so:
doSomethingAsync()
.then(value => {
    // ...use `value`, then
    return doSomethingElseAsync();
})
.then(() => {
    // ...
    return doYetAnotherAsyncThing();
})
.catch(error => {
    // Handle/report error here
});

If any of the promises is rejected, any subsequent fulfillment handlers are skipped, and the rejection handler at the end (added via catch) is triggered.
That's roughly the promise version of this synchronous code:
try {
    const value = doSomethingSync();
    // ...use `value`, then
    doSomethingElseSync();
    // ...
    doYetAnotherSyncThing();
} catch (error) {
    // Handle/report error here
}

A: basically, the reason you're getting an unhandled rejection is mixing async and sync code - promises are asynchronous and try{ ... } catch() { ... } only work in the synchronous mode. calling an asynchronous function in a synchronous try-catch block does not wait for it to settle. try to wrap your promise with async/await or handle the rejection in .catch() of the promise itself.

The street below David and Leah Camenzuli's St Julian's apartment is bustling, but once you've gone through the main door and made your way up to the fifth floor, what you're met with can come as a surprise – a peaceful oasis that David and Leah have lovingly crafted for themselves and their new-born baby daughter, Sophia.
Through the front door, you're met with a fantastic double height space with skylights and large windows, and what immediately strikes you is the light – it's so bright! "When I walked in here, I wanted to do something different. I wanted to create a bit of a 'wow' factor, so we decided to drop the ceiling and sacrifice a bit of space from the bedrooms upstairs, and it created such a cool vibe. The living area is where we spend most of our day," David explains.
Towards the left, the kitchen overlooks a cosy living room and balcony beyond. The dining area, accentuated by an architectural light fitting, is positioned alongside an eye-catching steel staircase, which breaks up the space between the dining and multi-functional office area, where David works and Leah occasionally gives fitness classes. Upstairs, the couple's main bedroom leads on to a spacious ensuite bathroom, with another bedroom and bathroom making up the rest of the interior space. A terrace finishes things off on the upper level, complete with Jacuzzi and chill-out area.
The elegant décor runs through every inch of the space, with neutral colours and natural materials including steel, wood, marble and glass contributing to the high-end aesthetic. "Simplicity is the utmost sophistication," David says. "I wanted to achieve a minimal, elegant aesthetic without it feeling cold. I like the Scandinavian feel and love open plan-spaces, but the main thing for me is definitely the light and the feeling of space."
Looking back, David recalls that it was about 10 years ago when he and his brother purchased the airspace on which this block of apartments is located, back when David was based in Dubai. "We worked on it slowly," he says, admitting that it was initially intended as an investment, before they came up with the idea of building an apartment for each of them to live in within the block. "I started working on the initial drawings in Dubai, although it changed quite a bit over time! The actual design process took about six months, and we've now been living here since January."
And while this was David's first foray into interior design, the couple agree that he took to it like a fish to water. "I designed everything myself, and I really enjoyed it," he says, explaining, "I drew everything on an app on my phone and planned everything out, including lighting and furniture – all to scale." He also came up with a coherent mood board which was applied throughout, and which he describes as comprising "neutral tones of wood, white, anthracite, soft grey tones, brass and lots of plants." Asked whether he found inspiration in other houses and design aesthetics elsewhere, particularly during his travels, David beams, "definitely! I think we all get inspired by other places – and I hope this can inspire someone else."
For furniture and finishings, David and Leah sourced a lot of their furniture from Sweden and Australia, but also worked with a host of local suppliers who helped them achieve their vision. "We couldn't have done it without them," says David as he lists some of the companies and individuals that contributed to their beautiful home. "I'd love to thank Carlos, who created the steel staircase and custom steel tables, as well as Clint from CAG finishings, my electrician and plumber, who was fantastic! We used Oxford House for the kitchen appliances and Star Fires for the fireplace. Meanwhile, most of the tiles are from Satariano, our curtains are from B4 Textiles and we absolutely love our modular sofa by Bonaldo from Form."
And while Leah was happy to take a back seat when it came to designing their home, David would consult her before making decisions throughout the process. "He involved me in everything, even when I tried to fight it," she laughs, "and whenever I wasn't sure of something, I left it in his hands and it always worked out." Admitting to being the practical one of the pair, Leah explains that she'd generally get involved when it came to making decisions based on practicality versus aesthetic. "When one person is passionate about something, you always need that other person to help balance things out, and David is so passionate about it!"
As putting this project together has sparked an undeniable fire in David, he has since purchased a plot in Lija, for which he's developing plans to turn into a larger home for the growing family. "We actually moved in with the idea that this was going to be our forever-home," Leah reveals, "but when you get pregnant, your priorities and world view change! This place is perfect for us as a couple, but especially looking back on my own childhood and time spent playing outside, we started thinking it would be nice to have more of an outdoor area."

Serena Williams: "Tiger Woods one of the reasons I'm playing"
by LORENZO CIOTTI | VIEW 7913
"Tiger Woods is one of the reasons I came back to play," said Serena Williams. The US golfer was a constant presence in Serena Williams' box at the US Open 2022. Both have made millions of people passionate about golf and tennis and have given birth to two of the most beautiful stories that have ever existed in the world of sport.
With these words, spoken in 2018, Tiger Woods had expressed all his admiration for Serena Williams: "She gave birth to a daughter, with all the duties a mother is entitled to, and she was still able to return to playing at a level of excellence.
She has played two consecutive Grand Slam finals, it's really impressive. Serena and I are good friends. She is extraordinary."
Serena Williams thanks Tiger Woods
The American legend wanted to thank Woods for the love and help he has provided her in recent years: "He is one of the reasons I'm here and I'm still playing.
We talked a lot and she tried to keep me motivated. I didn't know what to do, I was confused and had so many doubts, then I realized that I can trust him, my God, he's Tiger Woods, and he helped me to clarify. In one of the most difficult moments of our careers, we said to ourselves: Okay, we can do it together.
And so things went," said the American during the press conference. Woods, like Serena Williams, had to deal with several injuries and only after a long rehabilitation process did he return to compete. Before returning to the court, in an interview with Vogue magazine, Serena Williams explained: "This spring I had the desire to return to the court for the first time in seven months.
I talked to Tiger Woods, who is a friend, about it, and I told him I needed his advice. He is Tiger, and he was adamant that I was strong like him. He said to me: Serena, what if you try to train for two weeks? You don't have to commit. Go on the court every day for two weeks and give it your all and see what happens."

Q: How does git handle multiple pull requests that rely on eachother? G'day,
Should be an easy question to answer.
So I have been working on my own branch of some code, and i'm ready to send a pull request to merge it to master.
Problem is, I merged another branch while I was working on the code, and that branch hasn't been merged into 'master' yet.
There's a pull request in the works though - So my question is:
If I were to send a pull request, how would git handle this? Will it recognize that my pull request is 3rd in the list and therefore 'prefer' the changes from the first 2 requests before adding my code or is this something that the project owner needs to be aware of, in which case i could just add a note in my pull request that pull requests 1 and 2 should be merged before mine?

A: The owner of the repo can select and apply the pull requests in the order they want, so its up to them. Once they do, the resulting merge will happen and include the code that you merged into your branch from another, so unless you still have some other dependency on that other branch, you should be OK. If you do have some dependency, then when you submit your pull request, you can add a comment to say such.

British PM raises oil with Saudis as Biden shuns crown prince
The new British prime minister met separately with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the oil-rich kingdom's effective ruler, as they gathered for the Group of 20 summit in Bali.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called Tuesday for efforts to stabilise oil markets in talks with Saudi Arabia's crown prince, who was shunned by US President Joe Biden over an output cut.
The new British prime minister met separately with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the oil-rich kingdom's effective ruler, as they gathered for the Group of 20 summit on the Indonesian resort island of Bali.
"In light of the global increase in energy prices sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the prime minister said he hoped the UK and Saudi Arabia could continue to work together to stabilise energy markets," a Downing Street spokesman said.
The engagement contrasts with the cold shoulder by Biden, with US officials saying they were not planning any meeting with the prince, known by his initials MBS, even on a lower level.
Biden was outraged after the Saudi-led Opec+ oil cartel decided to cut production by two million barrels a day from November, adding pressure to global prices and potentially boosting revenue for energy exporter Russia, counteracting the US-led campaign to isolate Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.
Biden warned Saudi Arabia of consequences over the move, which some of his aides saw as an effort to boost the rival Republican party days ahead of US congressional elections in which inflation was a top issue.
Saudi Arabia insisted it was only considering economic factors but the move infuriated Biden as he had taken political risks in June by visiting the kingdom on a mission to ensure the flow of oil.
Biden as a candidate had vowed to make Prince Mohammed, a close ally of former US president Donald Trump, a pariah over human rights.
Declassified US intelligence said that the prince ordered the killing and dismemberment of US-based Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The Downing Street spokesman said Sunak raised with Prince Mohammed "the importance of further progress on social reforms, including on women's rights and freedoms" in the ultra-conservative kingdom.
They also discussed the "destabilising activity" of Iran, Saudi Arabia's regional rival, the spokesman said.

Aprilaire Space-Gard Model 5000 Air Cleaner has a MERV 10 rating, is an original OEM Part, expandable "accordion" style replacement filters 501 for Furnace air filter. Aprilaire 501 filters are perfect for allergy suffers.
The Aprilaire 501 filter is a collapsed accordion and are expanded into a plastic frame inside the air cleaner cabinet. The filter snaps in the plastic frame and is held in place with existing pleat spacers. Assembly instructions are on the product packaging.
The Aprilaire Space-Gard Model 5000 air cleaner can last from 6 months up to 2 years depending on use. If installed on a 5-ton system, in the presence of high concentration of particulate, or if the furnace fan is on continuously, it may be necessary to change the media more frequently. In any application, the life of the media depends on the total volume of air being moved through it as well as the amount of particulate it is filtering.
Transaction was quick and easy. Product was delivered on time and in good condition. Reasonable price. Would purchase again.
Great product at a great cost.
I bought your filters at what I consider to be a very good cost, and I have placed one in my furnace. Your instructions on how to do replace the filter was very good and everything is working great. Thanks.


The foundation of the AOS 2013 was community input. To capture and integrate input from a broad range of participants, the AOS included the preparation of community-based white papers (see below) and short statements in advance of the Summit. These white papers were intended to capture consensus on Arctic observing needs, arcticulate critical issues facing the design, implementation, and evoloution of an international observing system, and define future directions for it's development, including support, infrastructure, and longevity. The white papers also provided a mechansims through which stakeholders, beyond the 2013 Summit participants could shape the Summit and its outcomes, and guide future Summits. In combination with a Summit questionaire and shorter statements on relevant topics, the white papers focused the work during the Summit, and provided the foundation to develop recommendations, identify gaps and opportunities for the development of the Arctic Observign System of systems (see recommendations and synthesis papers). The Arctic Community, including research groups, funding agencies, Arctic residents, non-governmental organizations, and interested private sector groups were invited to submit papers on the AOS 2013 themes, as well as topics relevant to Arcitc Observing Systems that might not have been captured under the larger thematic areas.
What can be done to improve the design, implementation, coordination and sustained long-term operation of Arctic observing systems in the focus area of a given white paper?
Are Arctic observations shared optimally today among communities (e.g., among scientists, governments, and stakeholders)?
Are there specific hindrances to the collection or sharing of Arctic observations in the focus area of a given paper (e.g., restrictions due to military strategic reasons, protection of natural resources)?
The community white papers from AOS 2013 can be downloaded below (alphabetical order, first author).

Whether you're looking for a kid-friendly party punch or a citrusy brunch drink, there's a mocktail for every occasion. Read through our spectacular mocktails that aren't overly sweet, including everything from a cucumber cooler to an emerald palmer.
"Verjus is an incredible ingredient and is sadly underutilized behind the bar," says Lacy Hawkins, bartender at The NoMad in New York City. Verjus, the juice of unripened grapes, gives this julep-style mocktail a nuanced tanginess.
Chicha morada, a refreshing sweet-tart Peruvian drink, gets its gorgeous hue from dried purple corn. Garnished with chunks of pineapple and apple and spiced with cinnamon and cloves, this sangria-like mocktail is the perfect summer drink.
At Mission Chinese Food in New York City, Sam Anderson mixes coconut milk with gin and serves the drink in small soup bowls because the flavors are reminiscent of Thai tom kha gai soup. This mocktail variation is rich, creamy and incredibly aromatic.
This virgin riff on a classic mojito from F&W's Justin Chapple takes just five minutes to make.
To complement their alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks, Jack Falstaff restaurant specializes in fancy bar snacks such as fried sage leaves and pickled turnips.
Unsweetened coconut milk tranforms this smoothie into a sophisticated nonalcoholic drink.
Susan Feniger's refreshing green tea-based mocktails would also be great spiked with gin. While the ingredients can be prepped in advance, it's best to blend everything together just before serving for the most vividly green drinks.
All of Nacional 27's cocktails are collaborations with the kitchen. This one took shape after mixologist Adam Seger tasted an amazing mango-habanero salad dressing.
At the Belle Epoque—style Absinthe Brasserie, general manager and cocktail book author Jeff Hollinger serves up modern adaptations of 19th-century classic drinks. His Strawberry & Ginger Cooler is one of the few nonalcoholic refreshers on the menu.
This drink was originally part of a "Think Pink" menu that raised money for a local Chicago breast cancer charity.
The Spanish Kitchen owner Greg Morris wanted his Mexican restaurant to feel authentic, so he imported its massive wood-and-wrought-iron doors—among other furnishings—from Mexico.
Smoothies that Julie Reiner made when she lived on Oahu inspired this tangy mocktail, which would be a terrific mimosa stand-in at brunch.
"For a while, I was addicted to raspberry sorbet," says Sebastian Reaburn. "This mocktail is the liquid version of it."

Youth Voice Award Winner's Play on Race and Policing Debuts in Park Slope
How are you spending your summer vacation?
17-year-old Shaqur Williams is occupying his school break ushering in the premiere of a new play about police brutality, which will be performed July 25-30 at Park Slope's M.S. 51 campus and adjacent Washington Park. Shaqur received a Youth Voice Award to help fund the project, a grant recommended by our Brooklyn Youth Fellows through the Foundation's first-ever youth-led grantmaking initiative.
Together with local arts nonprofit Off the Page (Shaqur and Off the Page's co-directors Jody Drezner Alperin and Vicky Finney Crouch are pictured above), Shaqur is helping to produce "All American Boys," adapted from the book of the same name, which addresses different points of view between a black teenager and a white teenager living in the same community and the way police officers approach them. The project brings black and white actors together to work on this production and to talk about the problem facing the black community and how to work together to address it. You can reserve your free tickets here.
Shaqur Williams, seated center-left, with his fellow Youth Voice Award winners
DNAinfo interviewed Shaqur and the play's writers, directors, and cast to get a behind-the-scenes view into how the production is sparking critical conversations on race, privilege, and policing:
The teens in the cast have been talking about what's happening, and they're talking about race — openly, honestly and often.
Drezner Alperin [of Off the Page] wants the students to engage with each other on the difficult topic of racism, she said, but the group sets certain rules, like you can only speak your "truth" and not someone else's.
After a conversation, she added, "You have to accept there might not be closure."
Harry Seabrook, a senior at LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, who plays Quinn, said talking about race — especially with kids from other races — was rare, but it has become increasingly normal among this group of budding actors.
On the first day, in particular, there was a "heavy racial discussion" where black students talked about their run-ins with police while he shared a story about a fairly innocuous time he was stopped over a MetroCard.
After sharing, he thought he made a gaffe what would divide the cast.
"I thought that would be it," he recounted. "It's going to be black kids sitting with black kids and white kids sitting with white kids, but that didn't happen."
That, however, didn't happen. Instead the conversations continued.
"I didn't realize you could have these discussions [about racism]," Harry said. "It's like people, who can see, trying to describe colors to people who are blind: White people just don't see this stuff. They can't."
He already feels like his horizons have broadened.
"I feel sort of like Quinn," he said of his character. "If society wants to tell us that white people have all the power, still, in this country, like they say in Spider-Man, with great power comes great responsibility. We're the ones who have power. We've got to change it too."
Tahj Smith, who plays Rashad, recently graduated high school from NEST+M, a gifted and talented program on the Lower East Side, which had a lot of "different types of people," he said, but they usually only mixed during artistic endeavors, like his comedy troupe or in plays.
"Anything that has to do with art was always diverse because art has no boundaries and art doesn't discriminate," said Smith, who signed onto the project after reading by the "powerful" book.
He especially liked how the directors told him they didn't want this to be a play that would simply allow white people to say, "Oh, I saw a play about race," but offered something deeper.
"It's an intense subject," acknowledged co-director Finney Crouch.
"It's kind of refreshing to do political theater, especially with young people," she added. "They don't get to do this because I think people feel that it's too hard and the subject matter is too difficult and they can't handle it and we should protect children from the outside world.
"But we shouldn't because they have this world," she continued. "It's their world."

Back to the fateful country club. The first half of this one is just following directions, slowly moving through the club, dosing bottles, serving drinks, whatever the objective marker tells you. Things don't really become actionable until you've dosed the party with LSD, and Olivia retreats upstairs.
You follow in the guise of a waiter. Things are about to get messy, so when you set down the bottle, pick up the pistol behind the bar. You don't have armor, healing, or any other weapons, so make your shots count. Also, be aware that Olivia is an armed combatant.
Clear the guards, and subdue Olivia. When the cutscene ends, grab some much needed gear from the next room, and open the door, then out to the balcony and down the stairs. Cutscene, then back. Carefully kill your way across the gardens. Remember that you don't have a silencer anymore- every shot will announce your position.
Still, there aren't that many guards, and they aren't that bright. You can also use their dropped weapons to pad out your arsenal as you make your way to Stephen. Kick open the door, kill his captor, and set him free. When the next cutscene ends, it's time to make a break for it. Drive out of the club, weaving between oncoming police vehicles.
There's a barricade, and more incoming police to the left, so go right. Only not too far, because the road ends in a cliff. Instead, take the first left- a dirt road up the hill.
You'll lose your pursuers in no time, then it's just a matter of driving to Donovan safely. Your ride can't take much of beating, and it's crucial to avoid police attention, so just play it safe and you'll be able to finally close the book on this one.
...After a couple of protracted cutscenes, and the territory assignment. As before, Frisco goes to Cassandra.


Are you looking for a way to show future clients what your construction company can do?
Today we want to introduce Proteus theme, the makers of BuildPress and other beautifully crafted niche themes for WordPress such as GymPress for fitness sites, MedicPress for doctors and many more. Proteus Themes is run by a small but talented team of web professionals based in Slovenia.

Generally, many of these features would usually take a considerable amount of time to set up but by downloading Toolset and BuildPress you can save a huge amount of time in your construction website development.
Thanks Marine for highlighting this theme. I am a Divi user but it is always good to see what some of the other themes/page builders are doing. The big question now is how all these themes with builders will handle Gutenberg.
– The Views part of the integration is in Beta and is already out but won't be included in the next stable release.
– Toolset Forms/CRED is ready for testing.
Of course, we'll write a nice blog post when we have more to show.
This is only an assumption but, because Gutenberg in its current form is very rudimentary in terms of structure and what it can do for more complex structures comprising sections, rows and columns, there is little point in page builders jumping on board with Gutenberg. If and when Gutenberg provides a basic structure for this with an API for builders to work with I expect that Divi and other vendors will start to move on it. It would mean the end to the dreaded shortcode detritus that we get if we change away from Divi and Visual composer.
I see one page builder is using a Gutenberg block for its contents but it put the whole builder into it. Not sure that is the best approach.
Despite the fact that the team working on Gutenberg claim that it won't be a page builder, just a content management tool, I would like if it was, albeit a rudimentary one for new users to get used to the concepts of building layouts with a tool that correctly renders exactly what they should see on the front end. Later for the more adventurous they can use more sophisticated page builders.
In cas you haven't heard Elegant Themes are working on some update that should hopefully improve the integration between it and Views.
Thank you Stephen for sharing your thoughts regarding Gutenberg and the future of page builders. I think there's always going to be another level of customization that Page Builders like Divi are able to provide. I see Gutenberg as a good content management for users but quite limited for "instant design" like Elementor does. Competition vs complementarity that's the big question.
Thanks also for sharing Divi project with the CPT's, I've shared with my team, very interesting read.
Let's keep discussions fresh. We close comments on posts that are 45 days old, but we still want to hear you. See the new posts on our blog and leave comments on the recent posts.
