Global Gender Gap Index, 2020(India has ranked 112th among 153)
UPSC Articles
TOPIC: General Studies 1:
Role of women and women's organization, population and associated issues, poverty and developmental issues, urbanization, their problems and their remedies
Daily Current Affairs IAS | UPSC Prelims and Mains Exam – 18th December 2019
SRC: Outlook
India has ranked 112th among 153 countries in the annual Global Gender Gap Index for 2020,
The Report was published by the World Economic Forum (WEF) recently.
Iceland, Norway, and Finland occupy the top three spots in the Report.
The Global Gender Gap Index
The Report benchmarks countries on their progress towards gender parity in four dimensions.
The dimensions are: Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival and Political Empowerment.
The Report aims to serve as a compass to track progress on relative gaps between women and men on health, education, economy and politics.
It measures women's disadvantage compared to men, and is not a measure of equality of the gender gap.
Through this annual yardstick, stakeholders within each country are able to set priorities relevant in each specific economic, political and cultural context.
Global Gender Gap Index for 2020: Key findings
Globally, the average (population-weighted) distance completed to gender parity is at 68.6%, which is an improvement since last edition.
The largest gender disparity is in political empowerment.
Projecting current trends into the future, the overall global gender gap will close in 99.5 years, on average.
There is a sharp deterioration in the economic opportunity gap, especially in women's under-representation in emerging roles, such as cloud computing, engineering and data and artificial intelligence.
India's Status
India has slipped four places in the report to 112, behind neighbours China, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh,
It is due to due to rising disparity in terms of women's health and participation in the economy.
The country ranked 98th in WEF's first report in 2006. Since then, it has fallen due to poor performance in three out of four indicators.
India is also ranked in the bottom-five in terms of women's health and survival and economic participation.
The report showed that economic opportunities for women are extremely limited in India (35.4 per cent).
India also ranked among countries with very low women representation on company boards.
The report highlighted abnormally low sex ratios at birth in India (91 girls for every 100 boys).
On health and survival, four large countries — Pakistan, India, Vietnam and China — fare badly with millions of women not getting the same access to health as men.
India is the only country among the 153 countries studied where the economic gender gap is larger than the political one.
On a positive note, India has closed two-thirds of its overall gender gap.
The Indian government needs to make sure that maternal and women's healthcare is a top priority.
It needs to increase efforts to skill more women in technology-based fields.
Else, the potential of a large chunk of the population will remain unrealised.
Supporting gender parity is critical to ensuring strong, cohesive and resilient societies around the world.
Diversity forms an essential element in the global economy too.
Connecting the dots:
Do you agree that India badly needs to focus on improving women's access to healthcare?
What ways would you suggest to improve gender parity?

Experimenters have built ion lifters for years now from high voltage sources, lightweight frames, and a couple of wires. The devices generate thrust through a principle called electrohydrodynamics, the study of the motions of ionized particles or molecules and their interactions with electric fields and the surrounding fluid. Perhaps due to having no moving parts, many people mistakenly call the lifters anti-gravity machines, but they create a thrust from ionized air directed in a controlled direction.
Recently, researchers at MIT have created a "sideways" lifter to produce thrust for a small aircraft. They designed a 2.5kg aircraft with a 5m wingspan housing the batteries and voltage converters within the body. Without the thrusters engaged, the craft could glide 10m when launched from a catapult. However, when powered, the craft could glide more than 60m with the ion thrusters (each producing 5N of force).
Everyone can appreciate a good listener right?

Jason Cobler, the lead bartender of Harvest in Louisville, Kentucky, shared this recipe with Epicurious. Inspired by the Mint Julep, this is a lighter cocktail that will get you going the day after the Kentucky Derby.
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the mint leaves with the bitters and lemon juice until the mint is slightly darkened but not completely crushed. Add the mint simple syrup and bourbon. Add about a half cup of ice and shake vigorously until well chilled, about 30 seconds.
Strain drink into a Champagne flute, top with sparkling wine, and garnish with a mint leaf.


In this day and age we get a lot of feedback, focus testers, our bosses, our colleagues, quality assurance, even our own inner demons ... and then we have the internet ... the internet never shuts up, and it is rarely all that nice about it. However the internet also gets a bad rap sometimes, there are also lots of intelligent, smart people out there, who every now and again manage to craft some constructive dialog amongst all the You Tube comment style static.
We all screw up. We listen to the wrong feedback, or go with our gut when the data was right, or choose the data when our gut had nailed it. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. Acknowledge when you got it wrong. Don't make excuses, own them, and then file the experience under 'don't do that again'. I have honestly never gotten mad at anyone down the years for a genuine mistake, but I tend to get all kinds of furious when someone repeats a mistake.
Learn to ignore the compulsion to react to every suggestion and comment, even, on occasion, the good ones! The important thing is to put them in context of your game, your goals, and your objectives. Always do this. Remember the core goals of your project. What are the pillars of the experience? Stick to the concepts that you have agreed are vital to the core concept of the game (coincidentally if you didn't decide what those were before you started, now would be a great time to do so ... they are kind of important).
Now, if you are working in games, someone thinks you know something about it, and you are generally where you are for a reason. That means you might even know what you are doing, and being able to trust in your knowledge and experience is a vital part of being a good designer. The key to going from a good designer to a great designer, is often developing the sort of self awareness that allows you to take feedback and know which of it to listen to, and what to ignore. So how do you do that?
Ignoring feedback is hard. It is a fairly fundamental human emotion to want to be liked. Most of us have that nasty little insecurity biting away at our heels throughout our lives, regardless of how successful we may otherwise be. The damn critter never goes away. It is a pesky trait, but one that is well worth conquering (or at the very least learning how to lock it away in a reasonably sturdy closet for a while). Don't take things personally, and try to remain as impartial as possible when assessing feedback.
Seriously, no-one likes a know-it all. Live by this one every day. People will like you, and people work better with people they like and respect. Listen to your team mates, listen to your boss, listen to your players, and hear them out. You don't have to agree just because you listened. Staff, seniors, players, or your customers, will often feel much better if you come across as a nice, approachable, and honest guy / gal.
Yes, this is effectively the inverse of tip number two, mainly because it is worth repeating.
... some people will accept it that is ... because everyone?
No, you can't make everyone happy ... back to rule number one!
Great post, most of it applies to any position, not just game development. Those would be some good tenants to conduct yourself by in any workplace. It never ceases to amaze me how many people need to be reminded about these things. You would think it would be common sense!
I just suggest drinking copious amounts of alcohol.
Your Articles about Feedback, how to take it and and the whys and hows belong to the very best on your Blog!
Forgive me Craig, but as you brought up the feedback theme and i stumbled over a major inconvenience in Funcoms MMOs and almost any other MMO that offers it.
Why is the Cash-Shop such an inconvenience, has such a bad overview, is a hassle to navigate, to sort, to pay, shows so much useless frame, is so underdeveloped compared to the usual online shopping experience when it is for some games a major income source?
A Cash-Shop the worst to navigate is for example in LOTRO.
I ask it here bcs you wont feel offended and its not filtered out the way up to you and its a matter in TSW also but not that bad as in LOTRO.
Keep up posting such interesting blogs!

4 years ago, I planted some hop rhizomes. For a reason unbeknownst to me, it was an epic fail. Ever since then, I've been meaning to give it another try, but never got around to ordering new rhizomes in the spring (the only time of year they are available).
This weekend, I was browsing the garden center at my local Fred Meyer and was surprised to see hop plants. This was the first time I've ever seen hops for sale in plant form. I figured that was a sign that it was time to give my hop garden another try.
For $8, I picked up a Willamette variety (the only type they had) and planted it in the sunniest spot of my backyard next to my kids' play structure. That should give both the hops and my kids something to climb on. With some sun, water, and a little good luck, maybe it'll produce a few cones this fall! We'll see.


My friend Betsy drew my attention to an installation called The Fallen last week and I have not been able to get the images out of my mind. Conceived and engineered (with the help of some 500 stenciling volunteers) by the British artists Andy Moss and Jamie Wardley of Sand In Your Eye in honor of International Peace Day (September 21), the interactive project involved the production of thousands (9000 to be exact) of sand silhouettes designed to represent the enormous loss of life that occurred on D-Day. The landing beach of Arromanches in France appears littered with shadowy "bodies": now washed away by the tide, they remain, at least for me, an unforgettable sight.
All Images from The Fallen website.

Q: OpenGL control in WPF - how to? I need to use OpenGL in my WPF project. I'd prefer it to be as simple in installation as possible, but I'm beginning to lose hope.
I've tried SharpGL: it's pretty good and easy to use, but it has massive memory leaks and the app crashes after few seconds. Not very useful.
So now I am wondering: is there an alternative to this library? Actually I don't have to use OpenGL - I just need to present a 3D scene in any technology .. perhaps D3D or something else will be easier to manage in WPF...
What do you recommend?
Kind regards
Q.

Update: Yes, I'm working under Windows 7. And I'd really prefer smt. OpenGL based because I already know the technology.

A: Within WPF, I can easily say that using XNA will be the easiest way, which many people have done before. There's even an example project here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/nicgrave/archive/2011/03/25/wpf-hosting-for-xna-game-studio-4-0.aspx

A: The Tao framework supports this: taoframework-2.1.0-setup.exe
Once you've installed it, right click on your Toolbar and select "Choose Items.." and add "SimpleOpenGlControl" from the .NET Framework Components list. If you can't find it in the list, hit browse and search for Tao.Platform.Windows.dll in your Tao Framework installation directory.
After that you can just drag the OpenGl control wherever you like, and use its Paint event to do your stuff in. (Not really sure how often that event fires though, last time I checked it fired once every 12 seconds or something so you may need to do some magic stuff to have it fire more often - say a thread to call Draw, or some other nifty stuff)

A: I have used successfuly OpenTK library (http://www.opentk.com/).
Works with WPF/Windows Forms.

A gorgeous cold blue day, a proper sunny start-of-spring morning over the Lincolnshire Wolds. Seen from afar as a modest green bar on the horizon, the Wolds loomed close to as a considerable wall. This long whaleback of limestone and ironstone rises some 300 feet above the Lincolnshire plains, a height lent grandeur by the flatness of the surrounding landscape. Views west and south from the top are quite spectacular in clear weather, and that's exactly what today held in prospect.
Claxby to Normanby-le-Wold, suggested the map, and then on via Otby and Walesby to Risby. So many '-by's in this part of the world – the Norse word for a farmstead, denoting where 9th century Danish invaders settled and beat their swords into ploughshares (to some extent). I strode out up the hill from Claxby, picturing the village's founder, one Klakkr – rather a fierce fighter, I guessed, carrying the smack and clatter of swords in his name. Up in the wind on the wold top at Normanby, I found the Viking Way long distance path and followed its horned helmet symbols down to lonely Otby on its ridge, then on to Walesby tucked into the valley below.
Walesby folk have not always dwelt in the vale. Their 14th century forebears fled the plague-blasted settlement around the church of St Andrew on the hill. Today's low sun picked out the ancient foundations of their houses and fields around St Andrew's – known to generations as the 'Ramblers Church'. It became the focus of local walkers' expeditions in the 1930s, when it stood in romantic ruins. Nowadays there's a most beautiful stained glass window depicting a red-robed Christ beckoning across a cornfield to a trio of clean-limbed young ramblers of the old school, while a brace of 1950s cyclists waits to attract his attention.
Medieval masons carved a jostle of cheeky, coarse-featured faces among the stone foliage of the nave pillars. I took some snaps and had a chuckle, then followed the Viking Way on along the ridge. Near Walesby Top a herd of 40 red deer watched me pass. The flock of pedigree Lincoln long-wool sheep at Risby – hefty beasts with a llama-like hauteur – stared through their floppy fringes as if mesmerised. And I stared back beyond them, way beyond my homeward path and out west to the edge of sight, where an apocalyptic setting sun sent Blakean shafts from blackening clouds to pick out the two towers of Lincoln cathedral on their ridge some twenty miles away.
Walk: (8½ miles, moderate, OS Explorer 282): Follow Normanby-le-Wold road (signed) uphill. Right by reservoir (118948; footpath fingerpost), up side of wood, through 3 gates to road (123949). Right past Normanby church; follow 'Viking Way'/VW. After 3 fields, leave VW (125936); ahead (fingerposts, yellow arrows) to valley bottom. Left (130930; fingerpost) to end of paddock (133933); uphill to Otby House drive (139935). Right to road; right into Walesby. From crossroads by village hall (134924) follow VW for 1¼ miles past Ramblers Church (138924), Risby Manor and Castle Farm. In valley bottom beyond, right (152911; fingerpost) across fields to Catskin Lane (142917). Forward for 1/3 mile; right (136919) on footpath (fingerpost) into Walesby. Follow VW out of village; right (130924; 'Mill House Farm'). Left at fork (129926; 'Byway'); left off VW (127931); follow 'Byway' to Claxby.


Everyone has a daily routine, but not everyone has one as structured as Oli Dillon's.
Oli, 19, from Sevenoaks is one of 10,400 people in the UK living with Cystic fibrosis (CF).
CF is a genetic condition which causes the internal organs to become clogged with thick sticky mucus, making it hard to breathe and digest food.
Currently, half of those with CF will not live past the age of 41.
Due to his condition, Oli's daily routine is filled with treatment and medication, which has to be strictly mapped out.
But the inspiring insight into his life has shown how determined he is to pursue his dream of acting.
Since he was cast in Disney's My Friends Tigger & Pooh, aged just six, Oli has only ever wanted to be an actor.
While still at school, Oli also appeared on the Basil Brush Show, in CBBC's The Sparticle Mystery and has just returned from Bulgaria where he was filming for ITV2's Plebs.
But that does not come before his morning ritual, which can lead to him taking up to 70 tablets per day.
He said: "First thing in the morning I'll wake up and do my physiotherapy and that will last around 30 minutes.
"I do a few puffers then my nebuliser, which is inhaled antibiotics.
For each meal he eats, Oli has to calculate its fat content and take digestive enzyme tablets accordingly.
As he cannot digest the calories normally, he also has to have roughly triple the daily calorie intake of an average adult.
If you were to look at Oli on the street, you might not necessarily realise that he was ill.
Mum, Alison, 53, said: "It's an invisible illness, and unless you've got oxygen on, you tend to look quite well but people can't see the damage to the lungs.
The effects of the common cold or the flu are also heightened in people with CF and can lead to a faster decline in lung function.
Oli has recently come out of hospital after catching the flu, causing his lung function to drop by 40 per cent.
"I was in for two weeks on IV through flu," he said.
"The flu on top of my CF hits way harder and can completely wipe me out."
Last year, Oli, who strives to do as much as he can despite his illness, enrolled in a skydiving course.
But he did just two solo jumps before choosing to stop through fear the air passing too quickly, and the possibility of him passing out mid-jump.
He said: "When you're falling, you can't breath or get a breath of air. So, on top of how much I struggle normally, it's not really very nice.
"The air is going past me so fast - if I'd passed out, I couldn't have pulled my parachute.
"I do as much as I can. I do notice how it takes my freedom away because I have to plan ahead where I'm going to be and what medication I have to take because I have to do them at that set time.
Thanks to an earlier diagnosis and ongoing developments in care and treatments, half of people with cystic fibrosis alive today are expected to live into their 40s.
In order to raise money to fight the disease, Oli's brother Ben and dad Richard are running the London Marathon this year to raise money for The Cystic Fibrosis Trust - the only UK-wide charity dedicated to helping everyone affected by the condition.
Ben, 24, said: "He is my inspiration and me and my dad are running for him.
"As painful as it is running, he puts it all into perspective when your knees start hurting and your feet start aching.
"My mum is a supermum with Oli.
"My main role has been more to try and gee him up to go and do exercise because I'm quite an active person anyway."
"Oli isn't naturally that active so whenever I'm going to the gym I'll take him with me, or, when we were younger, get him outside on the trampoline.
Dad Richard, 52, also hailed Oli as his inspiration.
He said: "It's for him that I'm running 26 miles.
"Oli has always had a bit of a presence in everything in life.
"Whether it be on stage or in the house.

As I was getting my breakfast this morning, I had the most amazing "blast from the past". Oddly enough this blast happened as I was cutting into my grapefruit. The minute the smell of the ruby red grapefruit citrus hit my nose, I was transported back in time to when I was a little girl reading one of my most favorite books, The Sweet Smell of Christmas by Patricia Scarry.
Oh how I LOVED this book! Not only was it centered around my favorite holiday but it also featured 6 scratch and sniff stickers. SCRATCH AND SNIFF!!!! This sweet book shared the tale of Little Bear and Christmas being near. Little Bear could smell it – and so could I! I can remember reading this book even after the scratch and sniff stickers had long been worn down but somehow still being able to smell the delicious flavors of hot chocolate, pine trees, apple pie, candy canes, gingerbread cookies and my most favorite, a fresh orange in Little Bears stocking! Can you smell them too?
It's funny how one little thing…one little trigger like the smell of a fresh cut grapefruit could evoke such sweet memories of a time gone by. With a smile on my face, I started my day remembering fondly a treasured time from my youth and just like that felt like I was 5 years old once again with not a worry in the world and ready to embrace the joy of this holiday season.
Merry Christmas! What a wonderful story.

Home/Retail/OnBuy encourages Britain to support indie retailers this Black Friday and Christmas through its eCommerce platform
OnBuy encourages Britain to support indie retailers this Black Friday and Christmas through its eCommerce platform
Robert Hutchins 25th November 2020	Retail 652 Views
The UK-based online marketplace, OnBuy.com, is 'encouraging the British public to support independent retailers this Black Friday and beyond' through its own eCommerce platform, as the business marks the launch of its first major national TV advertising campaign with ITV.
The campaign has been designed to increase awareness with consumers ahead of its Black Friday sale and the busy Christmas period, and drive shoppers to its platform, through which independent retailers can sell products to online shoppers.
OnBuy has invested £1 million into the campaign that aired for the first time on ITV on Monday, November 23rd, just before 7:30pm.
Cas Paton, founder and CEO of OnBuy, said: "We invested in this wide-scale TV campaign to increase consumer awareness and support the retailers that sell through our marketplace.
"We've seen a record surge in the number of businesses joining us since Covid-19 hit and we know that this year has been difficult, especially for small to medium retailers. We planned to launch our TV campaign in 2021, but we brought it forward to give our retailers an extra boost for the festive season.
"We're encouraging the British public to support independent retailers this Black Friday and beyond through an eCommerce platform that truly has the seller's best interests at heart.
"We don't, and never will, hold our own stock, so we'll never compete with those trusting us to help their business succeed. We're on a mission to revolutionise the eCommerce sector by providing a fair, transparent and ethical marketplace. That means consistently championing the independent businesses that sell with us, resulting in a huge amount of choice for customers.
"Consumers are choosing to shop with fair and moral brands more and more, so now is the time to bring OnBuy to the front of every shopper's mind."
The advertising campaign, which will be seen by more than 44 million people, appeals to the audience to "Shop smart, shop at OnBuy". The ad highlights the site's range of an impressive 30 million products from consumers' favourite brands, along with demonstrating robust levels of consumer trust in the brand via its impressive 4.6/5 review score on Trustpilot.
The advert features a blue fluffy character and a range of popular products from the marketplace's vast catalogue, including headphones, board games, smart watches, toys, hoverboards, furniture and perfume. Viewers will see several different funny endings to the ad.
To celebrate the advert launch, OnBuy is running a competition to name the cute character across its Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages with a prize of £1,000 to spend at OnBuy.
Paton added: "OnBuy has had a phenomenal year of growth and there is no slowing us down. The advert will go out across the ITV network and will put OnBuy firmly on a national stage. It will be fantastic to see our name in lights and we're delighted that the retailers we work with will benefit hugely from this increased awareness of OnBuy ahead of the beginning of our global rollout at the end of this year."
The launch of OnBuy's TV campaign comes as the marketplace saw a record-breaking week in November, increasing sales by over 800 per cent compared to the same period the year before. These figures are hot on the heels of the company's announcement of a major expansion plan, seeing it opening its second UK office in Manchester early next year.
OnBuy's globalisation plans are well underway with new country-specific websites launching in 42 countries by the end of this year. OnBuy plans to be fully operational in over 140 countries by 2023, allowing businesses to sell to a targeted global audience. The company will recruit over 100 people in the UK in the next two years to support this expansion.
The advert will be aired across all main ITV channels, including ITV1, ITV2, ITV3, ITVBe and on demand with ITVHub until 07/12/2020.

You hope they'll say no and do well
Katie Campomizzi-Clews | Jun 19, 2019 | Mommy Mentions
The mournful tone of bells at the start of AC/DC's classic rock song "Hell's Bells" heard today took me back a few years.
OK. More than a few years.
I sat among students at an area middle school. In this particular classroom, two corrections officers, or COs, shared a video about how inmates at a state correctional institution spend Christmas. A reporter at the time, I was assigned to write a story about the presentation.
With the song's beginning instrumentals easing viewers into the message, it went on to feature inmates describing the holidays behind bars. Along with the video, the COs brought a gift that inmates received. Nothing fancy, no ribbon or wrapping paper. It was a cache of toiletries — I remember toothpaste as one of the items — gathered in a red, fishnet-like bag. The COs passed the gift around the room to let the students get a closeup look.
So, in hearing that song, I got to thinking about those students. I wondered how many have gone on to live good lives and make good choices. I wondered if any had, unfortunately, taken wrong turns in their lives.
In that same vein, I also thought about the Drug Abuse Resistance Education, or DARE, program and its effectiveness over the years. Has it helped many a former student stray from the temptations of drug and alcohol abuse, or have these students fallen prey to those evils?
As a parent, I hope that the information available about the dangers of drugs and alcohol, and my own guidance about those dangers, will keep my own children on the straight and narrow. Almost daily, they are reminded to "make good choices" and do good things with their lives. It's something that a parent could certainly hope for when it comes to their children's futures.
Keep in mind to be kind

This facility is provided by a Kazakh bank to Tethys Aral Gas, a wholly owned Kazakh subsidiary of Tethys, and is available to fund capital expenditures in Kazakhstan. It can be drawn down at any time but the company is under no obligation to do so.
This facility has a term of up to four years depending on the company's requirements and bears an interest rate of 14% per annum on sums drawn down. It is to be secured against field facilities in Kazakhstan. An initial USD 3.5 million of this facility has been drawn down.
Bernard Murphy, Chief Financial Officer, stated "This facility provides flexibility to meet the company's possible funding requirements should the company wish to make use of it and I believe it is prudent financial management at this time."
Tethys is focused on oil and gas exploration and production activities in Central Asia with activities currently in the Republics of Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. This highly prolific oil and gas area is rapidly developing and Tethys believes that significant potential exists in both exploration and in discovered deposits.

Virna Lindt is a Swedish singer and record producer. Her debut single "Attention Stockholm" became an indie-chart hit in 1982. She released two studio albums, Shiver in 1983 and Play/Record in 1985, both on the Compact Organization label. Both collaborations with writer/producer/arranger Tot Taylor. Combining pop, soundtrack and experimental influences, they have since been reissued on CD by LTM. Her style has been described as "John Barry-meets-new wave" and, in another review, a diseuse.

After a long hiatus, Lindt returned to music in 2019 with the release "Avant-garde Pts 1 & 2," and in 2021 with the single "Once."

Tank Gauging and Overfill Prevention etc.
The 2550 Magnetic Level Gauge provides local indication for level measurement. This tank gauge's internal components are totally isolated from the product of the tank within a sealed tube.
A donut shaped float rides on the product, held in linear vertical alignment by a 1" guide tube. Inside both the float and the tube are magnets of opposite polarity, which couple the float with the magnet assembly within the tube.
The movement of the float drives the magnet assembly within the tube. The magnet assembly is coupled to a stainless steel wire pulley assembly that in turn drives the counter mechanism in the head of the gauge.
The only limitations to the GSI 2550 Magnetic Tank Gauge are tank heights in excess of 17 feet, product with metallic particles (some applications), or extremely viscous products (consult GSI).

Large animal feeding operations on the rise
Several states see shifts in animal production since 2011
By Christopher Walljasper | June 7, 2018
More on Agribusiness
Subscribe to Agribusiness
The number of new concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) have increased across the U.S. over the past seven years - bringing the total operations just under 20,000, according to data from the Environmental Protection Agency.
From 2011 to 2017, the United States saw more than 1,400 new large-scale concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) established. That's up 7.6 percent.
A CAFO is defined as an "agricultural enterprises where animals are kept and raised in confined situations," and most commonly contain hogs, poultry for meat and eggs, dairy and beef cattle.
Iowa led the growth in animal confinements, adding nearly 2,000 CAFOs in the seven year period, according to an analysis of data from the EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. Delaware and Maryland fell to a distant second and third with just 881 new operations between the two states, with Delaware seeing a 600 percent growth and Maryland seeing a nearly 300 percent growth.
Iowa, Delaware and Maryland added 2,821 confined animal operations since 2011, but a number of states reduced the number of operations. States showing the biggest drop in operation included Arkansas, Oklahoma and Illinois.
Animal production trends
A look at the amount of animal production across these states can be one insight into the changes in the number of confinements.
Delaware saw a 1,000 head drop in the number of beef cattle, but the state added 42 million broilers - chickens raised for meat - since 2011, according to the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service.
Map: Change in CAFOs, by state. Click on the state to see the change in number of CAFOs from 2011 to 2017.
Maryland decreased the number of hogs, dairy cattle, broilers and beef cattle, but produced an additional 265 million eggs in 2017, compared to 2011.
Iowa added animals in nearly every category, with more than 3.5 million hogs, broiler chickens and dairy cattle and an additional 1.1 billion eggs in 2017.
Arkansas' drop in operations since 2011 can be seen in nearly 112,000 fewer hogs, beef and dairy cattle, even as the number of broiler chickens and eggs in the state increased.
Oklahoma saw nearly the opposite since 2011, with 78.5 million fewer eggs and 10 million fewer broilers produced.
While poultry production in Oklahoma declined across the seven year span, the state did produce an additional 1.2 million hogs and 50,000 beef cattle in that time, but still lost CAFOs.
New York produced 107,000 fewer hogs and Illinois dropped more than 5,000 dairy cattle.
Animal Production Trends. Below are the states with the most change in hogs, broiler chickens, eggs, dairy and beef cattle, from 2011 to 2017.
This story was updated on June 29, 2018, to correct the graphic "Change in egg production, 2011-2017" . An earlier version of this graphic had incorrect data.
The story was also updated to correct how much egg production increased in Iowa in 2017 to 1.1 billion more eggs. An earlier version of this story said Iowa saw a 1.1 million egg increase in production in 2017.

Dearborn suspends neighborhood block parties, aims to slow spread of COVID-19
By Slone Terranella
The end-of-summer tradition to throw block parties will no longer happen in Dearborn.
On Tuesday, the city announced a temporary suspension of block party permits.
Block parties approved by the city before Sept. 8 can continue as scheduled, said Mary Laundroche, director of public information in Dearborn.
The announcement comes at a time when Dearborn has logged 115 COVID-19 deaths and 2,328 confirmed cases, according to Wayne County's COVID-19 dashboard.
"We have been told by Wayne County Health Department that Dearborn numbers of COVID cases have been increasing and that we actually represent about 18% of the overall cases in Wayne County, except for the city of Detroit," Laundroche said. "So this was an action that we could take to discourage people from gathering in large numbers."
Dearborn Councilwoman Erin Byrnes said the city took action and stopped issuing permits because of the uptick in COVID-19 cases, and the community has been mostly supportive.
In a statement sent out on Tuesday, city officials said large gatherings — where social distancing isn't guaranteed — help spread the coronavirus.
Dearborn "has no extensive way to monitor the number of people at a block party at any given time, or to ensure attendees are wearing face masks and staying at least 6 feet apart from people not within their own household," the statement said.
Before the suspension, party permits were filed through the city clerk's office and allowed Dearborn residents to use one or two neighborhood blocks for outdoor parties and gatherings. In a typical season, the city would host about 80 block parties a year, Laundroche said.

Dearborn native Iman Albargwi, 21, said she agrees with the city's decision to temporarily halt the outdoor gatherings.
"To maintain the health and safety of the citizens in the city, it is imperative that the city does what is necessary to prevent COVID cases from rising," she said. "Parties will come and go but the lives of people lost will never return."
Dearborn police have been called to several outdoor parties this year, according to the city.
There is no date set for when the city will issue block party permits again, but updates will be made to Dearborn's website and social media accounts.
"We are working to keep residents safe and healthy, and limiting gatherings is an important piece of that process," Byrnes said.

It hasn't been a great year for growing really. A lack of sunshine and warmth meant that my berries and salad vegetables were a little pathetic this year. Two things that did, as ever, grow well were my potato and courgette plants giving me plenty of opportunity to make this lovely dish.
Beware, the below recipe is rough in quantities.
Scrub the potatoes and boil in salted water until almost tender. Drain and cool. Remove skins (they should come away easily) and slice into 1cm thick rounds.
Heat 1/2 cm of olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the courgette rounds in batches and fry for a few minutes on each side until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on kitchen roll to soak up excess oil.
Once all of the courgette has been cooked, add the garlic and thyme to the oil and immediately turn off the heat. Stir until the garlic stops sizzling.
In a shallow oven dish add a row of sliced potatoes. Angle them slightly so they aren't lying flat but aren't completely upright either. Add a row of courgettes then a row of tomatoes. Repeat until all off the veg is in the dish. Season with salt and pepper.
Brush the vegetables generously with the garlicky oil then sprinkle cheese or breadcrumbs over the top.
Bake in a 180 oC oven for 30 mins until the top is golden.
Wonderful potatoes – they are so delicious straight out of the ground.
Just had a sack of locally grown potatoes delivered and I'm definitely going to be cooking this for lunch tomorrow .
It was delicious with mozarella !
Yum, yum!!! Your food and photographs are my find of the year.
Oh my, this does look good Wendy. And how lovely to be able to use your own potatoes and zucchini. It does look like you've had a fine harvest. I'm not a huge thyme fan, but I'm thinking this might also go well with rosemary?
Mmmmm, this looks SO good. May have to go on the menu this week 🙂 I'm a bit of a fail at gardening ( I like the planting and digging – I just give up on all the weeding and maintenance) so I think my veg will be coming from Mr Tescos . . .
Wow, this looks delicious. I love photographs of food.
Hi Wendy, we really enjoyed this dish. I have been looking for a tasty recipe to use up courgettes so was pleased to find this one. Still reading you regularly and loving your beautiful pics.
YUM! This would be great with some sausage as a sort of breakfast for dinner. You always have some of the best ideas. Simple, hearty, and tasty!
I missed this one. Glad I stumbled across it now. Gorgeous! Bookmarking it right away.
Beautiful photo of the muddy potatoes in the blue and purple containers, contrasting with your red wellies! Gratin sounds really tasty.


The most colourful rider wins a prize!
LOROS Hospice is a local charity and every year they care for over 2,500 people across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. They provide free, high-quality, compassionate care and support to terminally ill adult patients, their family and carers.
Maggie and Kirsty would love for you to join them on a fun cycle ride around our beautiful countryside to help them train for the 170 mile, The Way of The Roses coast to coast charity cycle ride.
We'll start with a 5-mile ride which includes a coffee and cake stop. For those who would like to continue riding, we'll head off again for another 20 miles with a stop at Café Ventoux, circling back to Belton, for those who want longer, we'll add on another 15 miles that will bring the total mileage to around 40 miles.

"Sisters" premieres at Muhlenberg

A "Troubling" ruse
"Alternate Center for Ethics," controversial posters prompt reactions from both students and administration
Ali Watson
On Monday Oct. 2, Muhlenberg's Center for Ethics invited co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement in Canada, Janaya Khan, to feature as a guest lecturer in this year's speaker series entitled 'Troubling Truth.' Reactions to the event were not without controversy. However, one of the more troubling incidents occurred the day after Janaya Khan's talk when posters by the so-called 'alternative center for ethics' were found scattered throughout campus.
The controversial posters raised an uproar across campus, including the filing of 13 Bias Incident Reporting Forms.
Whenever one of these forms is submitted, there is a certain protocol that is followed up by the Dean of Students office in order to appropriately address the students.
Dean Gulati met with many of the students who submitted concerns related to the fliers and "discussed their feelings about the incident, their motivation for completing the Bias Incident Report, and some of the outcomes they would like to see as a result of what happened."
Gulati continued by saying "as in all cases, we talked about the conduct process, and all of the ways we may be able to go about repairing harm within our community."
Ultimately the posters were taken down as a result of a posting violation. Posting Violations can occur if flyers are hung on non approved spaces such as windows and doors. Removing the posters as a violation of posting rules is an 'easier' and faster process. Comparatively, removing posters, or any form of posting, because of suspected hate crime or bias grounds, is a much more intricate and time consuming process. Because of the content of the posters, and the due process required with hate and bias related accusations, it was important to remove the posters as quickly as possible.
Other incidents around campus, such as those that occurred during Homecoming Weekend and the events surrounding Janaya Khan's lecture, beg the question: what is the college administration is doing to support and encourage education on social justice action and involvement on campus?
In response to some of these recent events Gulati states "collectively we need to redouble our efforts to support all members of our community and ensure that we are working in every way possible to create a campus climate that is free of hate and bias and in which all students can thrive regardless of their identities."
She continued on "specifically, President Williams and I have spent time with a number of students individually and student groups discussing these incidents and our direct follow up."
In conclusion to the posters from the so called 'Alternative Center for Ethics:' "The flyers that were posted after Janaya Khan's visit were posted anonymously, with false information, and in a way that marks particular identities in our community, particularly African American members of our community in false ways," remarked Gulati.
Lastly, Dean Gulati said she "feel[s] strongly in the free exchange of ideas and thoughts on our campus and believe deeply in freedom of expression, but I also will defend deeply our commitment to people of all identities."
There is contention within the community as to how to approach a dialogue on race and politics… and after the response from students and the administration, it is safe to say that anonymously putting up flyers throughout the school with inflammatory information is not the way to do it.

As a newly ordained minister in the 1820s, William Squire (1795-1852) was sent from London to preach to the slaves in the British West Indies. After he contracted malaria, Squire was sent to Quebec City where he was assigned a circuit riding from there to Shefford Township in the Upper Yamaska Valley. He was appointed to Montreal's St. James Street Methodist Church in 1832 and shortly afterwards Montreal was devastated by a cholera epidemic that killed one person out of eight in the city. He offered emotionally charged religious revival services at the church every night for 30 nights during the epidemic for people needing a base for spiritual support. In 1852, back in Montreal after a wide and varied career, he died caring for a victim in another cholera epidemic and was the first person buried in the Mount Royal Cemetery.

Army-Air Force Talks: A Strategic Dialogue Between Two Obscure Field Grade Officers
Leading Edge / May 20, 2015
This paper, by Dave "Sugar" Lyle (USAF) and Dan Sukman (USA), was originally published on The Strategy Bridge and is shared here by the courtesy of its editors. The views expressed here are the authors' alone and do not reflect those of the US Army, the US Air Force or the Department of Defense.
Prologue: Dan and Dave, no relation to the famous Olympic decathletes, began a dialogue following a workshop on the development of an Air Force Operating Concept. At the conclusion of day 1 of the workshop, Dan and Dave had a discussion on the future of the military; to include the direction our respective services are headed. The idea popped up that these deep discussions should be published, for others to read and debate. The richness and value of discussions on the future of warfare is worthless if left between two people.
Sukman: Hey Dave, it was fun working with the Air Force this past week. It is eye opening to see the different perspectives of a sister service. How the Air Force will operate 20–30 years in the future is significant to how the Army will operate. Ultimately, the Army can generate thoughts on how we will do things, but if the Air Force and Navy are not on board, then we are not writing concepts we are writing fantasy novellas.
To me, the Air Force and the Army face a similar operating environment 20 years from now, albeit our efforts will be focused in different (but not exclusive) domains. For example, as we wrote in our 2014 Army Operating Concepts, enemies and adversaries will look to emulate our capabilities, avoid our strengths, disrupt our communications, space and other high tech advantages, and expand their operations to the homeland. In my view, this outlook applies to all the services, how we overcome them to maintain overmatch in each domain at a time and location of our choosing will be somewhat different.
I am also pleased to discover that when it comes to decisions on what platforms the Air Force will purchase for future war will focus on three missions. Close Air Support, Close air Support, and more Close Air Support. We might need you to actually transport us to the fight, but we can do that with legacy systems right? After all, if we are still using Abrams Tanks in 20 or 30 years, I imagine C-130s, and C-17s will still get us there. And when I say there, probably to Iraq.
Lyle: Thanks for working with us at the Future Operating Concept Workshop, and it was great to finally met you in person after corresponding for so long in the strategists social media forums. As a few recent articles have captured, it's easy to see the huge benefits of those forums when you can show up somewhere, and already know guys in the other service at a personal level, with degrees of trust in both the professional and the person already established. I remember one time I was at a big meeting for Air Force exercise planning, and I said that one of our measures of effectiveness for a joint exercise should be how many Facebook friends from the other services that we leave with. The PhD running the discussion just looked at me as if I had suggested that we start collecting and comparing nose rings …But the proof was in the pudding in my last deployment to Afghanistan as a strategist. When I showed up in Kabul, I already had a foot in the door with five of the Army strategists I would end up spending the next year with, planning RESOLUTE SUPPORT, and vice versa…and nary a nose ring in sight. But then, I never got to see those guys off duty…
You're right that we need to plan for the future together, and there are many benefits in doing so. When change is required, it's often difficult to be the first one out the door, but when we all see the common need for change, the actions of one can encourage those hesitant to take the risk in the other services. For example, the Air Force, the Army, and the Navy all see the need to recruit, train, educate, and develop leaders who can deal with the complex challenges of the future, but that implies that the system that we grew up in, and more importantly, the one that our leaders grew up in and now lead, are not up to the task. And they probably aren't, especially when you consider our common interests in addressing change in our human capital plans. So who changes first, who takes the risk, who's going to jump before the wind drift indicator hits the dropzone? Maybe we all should jump at the same time…
While I'd agree that the basic human problems behind conflict will be the same in twenty years, just as they have been for millennia, I'd have to say that my read of the tea leaves suggest a very different reality than the one we see today — given technologies that are already present or are rapidly emerging, I don't see the future as being like today only more so. Depending on which ones emerge in which order, I'm very concerned that many of the things we take for granted today will no longer be viable — we've built a lot of capability on fragile infrastructures in the last couple of decades, and we're going to have to deal with the fact that the cost of disrupting those systems is getting cheaper and cheaper, and that our legacy systems, and even the ones we think will be our future now, may not be as disruptive innovations seek to exploit vulnerabilities we're barely willing to acknowledge now. We're going to have to adjust, become more resilient, and become faster on the draw when it comes to innovating on the fly.
I'm with you on close air support, and there's been nothing in my personal experience more rewarding than hearing "Good hits" from a JTAC after a pass. But I'm naturally trying to find ways to keep the enemy from even getting close to you in the first place…never fight fair.
Sukman: I will leave CAS where it is, there are three things that officers should never discuss in public, religion, politics, and the future of the A-10.
I have never heard the facebook analogy before, but it makes total sense. I do worry that there is still a significant percentage of senior leaders who do not have facebook, twitter or other types of social media accounts, but in turn talk about how social media will impact the future operating environment. But social media as a tool to enhance professional discourse, yeah, it's the new Officer's Club, only I don't have to call a taxi when I write in my house after downing three whiskeys; and I'm not worried about saying the wrong thing in front of the Base Commander's spouse. Moreover, the ability to form a JTF staff, is certainly enhanced if those showing up have built a level of trust through professional discourse. Our Operating Concept speaks to the "Four Multiples"…internally, the ability to build trust among Multiple Partners outside conventional means of exercises and formal education is a capability we should take advantage of. When we think of our strategic and operational advantages over likely adversaries, the ability to fight jointly, and with a coalition makes the top five. Most nation's envy our ability to synchronize the actions in all domains, and readings of history from Thucydides to Napoleon can teach us the value of operating within a coalition.
Innovating on the fly is certainly necessary, although I would ask if that is more adaptation than innovation. That being said, our innovation must go beyond technology solutions to the wicked problems we may face. Innovation begins with the human, above the neck so to speak. What worries me is not how our Soldiers, or Airmen can adapt and innovate in combat, or more broadly in the operational force, rather, how our institutional organizations can innovate is the broader question. Army commanders and air force pilots will develop new tactics, and the needs of the fighting force will be met in terms of material solutions. For America, war tends to provide us near unlimited means to solve the problems we face, quantity becomes a quality all its own. The real challenge of innovation come in times of relative peace. Institutionally, during times of peace, our means are limited, and our ends can be ill defined. When you have an enemy or adversary, there is purpose to innovation. Say what you want about the cold war, having a Soviet Enemy provided purpose to the space race, instantaneous communications and DARPA's work on the internet. When you don't know who your enemy is, or when and where you will fight in the future, innovation for the sake of innovation becomes a harder sell. Moreover, choosing to innovate for high end or lower end conflict becomes a constraint on innovation. Matching institutional efforts with operational efforts is critical to strategy, but can be as elusive as the white rabbit without conflict.
Paramount to innovation is identifying and overcoming barriers to innovation. As we move forward, leaders in each service need to ensure service parochialisms do not interfere. It's not Army or Air Force innovation we need, rather its joint innovation. The risk of the Air Force innovating for high end conflict, and the Army innovating for low end conflict could create services that are incompatible. The ends of innovation are easy with a defined enemy, less so when facing an uncertain future. Joint Innovation will mitigate this risk, and I will take credit for inventing the term.
Lyle: While I wholeheartedly agree with you about the need to prevent parochialism from determining our respective future force paths, I disagree with your initial statement; I think we should be talking MORE about potentially volatile topics like CAS. It's very unfortunate that the current debate over the retirement of the A-10 is in many ways destroying much of the goodwill that we've built since the last time we had a serious falling out over differing perceptions regarding the Air Force's support to ground forces during Operation Anaconda in 2002. In that case, the accusations and counterfactuals hurled back and forth created conditions in which we almost couldn't talk about what happened there at all for a time. But despite that, we gradually evolved a system of liaison and coordination together that brought close air support to unprecedented levels of anticipation and responsiveness. Now, it's like we're going back to 2002 all over again for some, and you really can't blame soldiers for being suspicious of the Air Force's intentions on CAS, given some of the reports out there about what may have been said within Air Force circles.
I haven't been privy to those conversations myself, but I can tell you this: I've never personally heard another Air Force officer say "Screw those guys on the ground" or "I hate doing CAS". And as the guy who designed the initial B-52 schoolhouse CAS qualification course after performing 19 CAS missions in OEF, I can tell you that for those who have performed the mission, it's usually quite the opposite. Hearing "Good hits!" on the radio from JTACS will always be one of my greatest sources of professional satisfaction, no matter what else I do or don't accomplish in my precious remaining time wearing Air Force blue. And despite some of the accusations that have been made recently, I have a really hard time believing that my current Chief of Staff, who has flown the A-10 and has a son in the US Marines, is not committed to the CAS mission. But it's also clear that while CAS is a mission, and not an aircraft, there are tradeoffs between the various platforms, and there are always difficult decisions to be made that will not yield answers that satisfy everyone equally. As a planner in Afghanistan working the drawdown and enduring presence air support for RESOLUTE SUPPORT, constrained by very tight force management level restrictions, I actually recommended to leadership that we keep F-16s over A-10s, not having enough forces to keep both and still have sufficient US numbers left to do the train, advise, and assist mission. It wasn't because I didn't have the utmost respect for the A-10 community, the teams that have dedicated themselves almost exclusively to the CAS mission, and the tailored skills and culture that allow them to achieve detailed integration in ways that other CAS weapons systems cannot — I'm fiercely proud of what the A-10 community has achieved, and continues to achieve on the battlefield in combat as I type this. It was because earnestly believed that the F-16s, which would need to stay primarily on ground alert to provide widest coverage with the footprint we would have left, would ultimately save more lives with their superior speed and reach, and offer more comprehensive coverage over areas where our ground forces would be performing their train, advise, and assist missions in remote areas. As these difficult and emotional discussions continue, I can only advocate that those in my service will maintain our first core value of "Integrity First" as we discuss the tradeoffs and risks associated with current and potential future force options, remembering that "bad news doesn't get better with age" if the choices we've committed ourselves to aren't panning out like we thought they would. On the flip side, I hope the other services will not judge all of us by the alleged narrow opinions of a few. We need to be discussing various future force options with clarity and honesty, concentrating on tradeoffs and risks in the finest degree of analytical granularity that we can provide, and as "open kimono" as we can possibly make the discussions. We're all Americans on the same team — we can get through this. The more we talk, the less often we'll stereotype each other, or make caricatures of each others' positions. It's about making informed choices between tradeoffs, with the full awareness that "All of the easy decisions have already been made", as I recently heard a senior DoD official describe it.
My compliments on your recent "Asymmetric Offsets" piece on the Strategy Bridge! I thought you'd appreciate this analysis from a friend and fellow Air Force officer, the Constant Strategist in his online forum:
"From The Strategy Bridge, this is a brilliant and necessary addition to the offset discussion ongoing in the Department of Defense, less because of the particular elements covered (though excellent) than because it deliberately and correctly broadens the approach questions of asymmetry beyond the narrow scope of material technologies. Technology more properly refers to the totality of methods and processes used in securing our objectives. These include social technologies such as language, governments, educational processes and paradigms, etc., that may be enabled by (or enable) technical means. But a technology need not be a collection of plastic, metal, glass, and wires, and the most fundamental asymmetries available are not necessarily these narrowly considered technologies. For example, jointness is a social technology with the instrumental purpose of creating synergies (and therefore advantage) in the military realm. And all technologies are by definition instrumental and therefore characteristically human. So education (professional military and otherwise) is a technology for creating asymmetries in human capital that enable maximum impact and adaptive value of other technologies (and the creation of new technologies). It is a frightening mistake to limit our offset thinking to the narrow frame of tubes and wires and metal and glass. We must seek offset in the social technologies as well, and this short article makes that case as well as anyone has."
Maybe we're not so far apart on joint innovation after all, huh?
But I do want to make some points, based on your article and comments above. The "reduced dependence on close-in theater land and sea bases" that CSBA is predicting may not be due to our own choices in the end, but rather due to the degree of reduced access that may be politically available in the future as the influence of competitors rises. So while we should seek to maintain ties to regional allies who may grant us access as you advocate for, I think that we need to plan that still may not get it, especially if countries who we're friends with opt for neutrality as tensions rise. You wrote that "Whatever material an adversary puts on the battlefield, the US can produce more of it, at better quality, for our warfighter on the battlefield." That may not be true in the future in areas where we've traditionally enjoyed advantages; peer competitors are quickly achieving parity or their own offsets against our traditionally unchallenged competencies in the Air Force core mission areas of air and space superiority; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR); rapid global mobility; global strike; and command and control.
Thus, as we look to the future, and the emergence of technologies and competencies that will increasingly challenge our traditional dominance in these areas, we're not as confident in your assertion that "Superiority in the air and maritime domain has been and will remain a given for the US — what is and will be continued to be challenged is the US advantages in the land domain." We think we'll be challenged in all of these areas, by adversaries who have carefully studied our methods, read our doctrine and articles, and are actively working now to expose and exploit our vulnerabilities. This may help to explain the difference in priorities that my leadership is being taken to task for on the Hill, and in some cases, we can't talk about everything that concerns us in such open forums.
I'd also like to disavow an implication that I read in your comments — perhaps incorrectly, reflecting my own biases from personal experience. It's a belief I've encountered in various ground force tactical operations centers across Afghanistan during my first trips there as a planner in '06 and '07. As I worked to help mostly ground centric future ops and plans staffs to harness the best joint effects using airpower in support of the counterinsurgency effort, one of the challenges we had as air planners was the attitude amongst ground planners that felt if the Air Force was not acting together with ground forces in the same battlespace, we were not acting jointly. I disagree with this assertion as a general statement, and as we sought to create complementary effects with air operations in places that ground forces couldn't reach, we had specifically describe what we were doing as "air operations in areas where ground forces aren't present" , avoiding the discussion ending descriptor "independent air operations" at all costs. In many ways, I think people had the same opinion of Air Sea Battle, which has recently been incorporated in the Joint Concept for Access and Maneuver in the Global Commons, or GAM-GC. The effects we seek to create with such operations, both then and now, are designed to enhance or support the overall joint plan. In some ways, we're failing ground forces if we're not actively looking for ways to prevent them from being required in great numbers in the first place — there are potentially more ways to save ground troops lives with strategic attack and interdiction capabilities than we can with CAS in some situations when you apply a systemic approach. That said, in most cases, air operations will usually not be sufficient unto themselves to create all of the effects you need to achieve. For the record, I firmly believe that we all maximize each others' psychological and physical effects the most when we work together to place the enemy on the horns of multiple dilemmas. We saw in Kosovo when we had very little effect on Serbian ground forces with air attacks before the Kosovo Liberation Army forced them to defend themselves from ground attack, making them more vulnerable to airstrikes, and it probably wasn't a coincidence that Milosevic's capitulation coincided with a planned meeting between President Clinton and Gen Shelton to discuss ground options in the late summer. But also for the record, not every effect that we'll need to achieve should necessarily require all of the services working in the same area, and not all may need to be "decisive" to still be valuable options for our leadership in a game of maintaining continuing advantage. Some situations that do not lend themselves to "decisive" resolution, especially when we're talking about sustaining deterrence and assurance. If we can get the effects we need to achieve without risking any boots on the ground, we should consider those options. But admittedly, these kinds of options are probably few and far between — just don't think that we don't care if we try to develop them, because it's quite the opposite. But by all means, keep us honest, as you did during the Future Operating Concept workshop recently. If we're doing this joint thing right, we'll eventually end up being the guardians of each others' core competencies.
Sukman: Your point on adaptation following Operation ANACONDA is an important one nothing builds teamwork and jointness per say as combat. In my humble opinion, this occurs due to necessity, and the availability of resources, specifically money. Over the past decade and a half we had an open fire hydrant (OCO), not so much as Iraq and Afghanistan have drawn down. How we maintain jointness in periods of relative peace becomes a challenge of our generation of leaders. As Constant Strategist deftly noted, even with reduced resources, we can maintain jointness in areas other than warfighting platforms.
Certainly, we should plan for scenarios where close in access is denied by friendly or neutral nations. As some famous guy once said, "nations don't have friends or enemies, they have interests" (according to my Facebook feed it was Abraham Lincoln). We saw that with Turkey in 2003. That being said, the military's support to diplomacy through our foreign area officers at the action officer level, and through COCOM Commander to foreign general officer engagements at the GOFO level are a paramount competency of all services. We often take engagements for granted at our schools, and by means of multi-national exercises. These actions are a significant contribution to national security, but barely mentioned in our institutional strategic documents. Global engagement is a competency of our military I think most nations could only dream of. If you ever read other nation's security strategies, they will mention other nations in their immediate region and specifically call out their relationship with the United States.
Valid points on the use of airpower to strike targets beyond the range of land forces. I always argue that Air Force strike capabilities are the best form of missile defense we have, better than Patriot and THAAD. I would also mention that the Air Force, in support of ground forces does much more than providing lethality at close range and at strategic distances. Air power extends the vision of land forces just the same, both tactically and strategically.
I get the arguments on maintaining the core mission areas of the Air Force, do you think those mission areas remain the same 10, 20, or 30 years into the future? I thought that discussion was missing in the workshop. Would you add anything? Cyberspace operations? Global Engagement?
Lyle: You have to watch out for that Abraham Lincoln guy, he says all kinds of crazy things on the Internet. But the point on interests is valid, as we're seeing now in the Middle East, and we'll see in the future in other areas as various nations try to hedge their relationships until forced to choose between their own competing interests. And we'll need to plan ahead for that. In some ways, we probably need to look to the past as we look to the future, and it's definitely worth revisiting the real source of that quote from Henry Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston's address to the House of Commons in 1848 :
Therefore I say that it is a narrow policy to suppose that this country or that is to be marked out as the eternal ally or the perpetual enemy of England. We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow. When we find other countries marching in the same course, and pursuing the same objects as ourselves, we consider them as our friends, and we think for the moment that we are on the most cordial footing; when we find other countries that take a different view, and thwart us in the object we pursue, it is our duty to make allowance for the different manner in which they may follow out the same objects. It is our duty not to pass too harsh a judgment upon others, because they do not exactly see things in the same light as we see; and it is our duty not lightly to engage this country in the frightful responsibilities of war, because from time to time we may find this or that Power disinclined to concur with us in matters where their opinion and ours may fairly differ. That has been, as far as my faculties have allowed me to act upon it, the guiding principle of my conduct.
In general, as I look across the literature on adaptive decisionmaking in complex and ambiguous situations, it becomes clear to me that the only way to really position yourself to be agile in these confusing, highly connected environments is to create networks of trust — built during whatever opportunities for engagement you can create — to help stakeholders communicate more, not less, as complex situations unfold. Thus, the partnership and engagement activities that you mention are critical as much for building the networks as they are for the specific scenarios or skills we explore with them. In the Air Force, we stay engaged with joint and combined training exercises, rotational deployments, country visits, and by including foreign exchange students in our schools. In almost all of these activities, a joint vs. single service approach is usually the natural and advantageous one — I can't think of many single service activities these days. But we also need to consider our requirements for integration as we look forward to the future of command and control. We'll necessarily act with allies in the future, thus we'll need lots of flexibility in how we manage that cooperation and coordination among various countries who will not be able to match our investments in technology or human capital. We'll also have to build capabilities to share information with others, and protect it at the right levels of classification — in my experience, one of our greatest challenges is just sharing information among our allies.
As to the future of the Air Force core missions, I think we're going to see increased interconnectedness there as well — we'll remain the specialists to focus our efforts on providing capabilities and options to the President and joint force commanders. We don't expect any of these core missions to go away, even if the mixes of capabilities that we need to conduct them change significantly, or if other organizations or initiatives arise to take the interagency lead in areas like cyber. As SECAF has said, we're going to have to look at improving our capabilities to work across our air, space and cyber domains to create effects that we typically did mostly via the air in the past., and also to better keep up with the changes that are happening outside of the Air Force. And we're going to have to find ways to achieve more resilience in areas where we've been previously uncontested. And there's no way we'll be able to do any of these things without robust discussions within the joint force, within the US interagency, and amongst our allies and partners , as we seek to remain connected and coordinated as we push forth.
Of course, it's easy to write all this stuff in a blog post — much harder to apply in practice. But discussions like this are a great way to work out what the "nuts and bolts" work will likely be at our level, and to prepare ourselves for it. Speaking of that, see you at the Defense Innovation Initiative Wargame this week!
