Vizcaya: a Miami gem in peril from sea level rise
Bay/East entrance, July 2011. (photo by Brian McNoldy)
Villa Vizcaya was built in 1914-1922 by James Deering. James was the son of William Deering, of Deering Harvester Company fame in the late 1800s. James joined the company when he was 21, and when he was 43, J.P. Morgan facilitated a merger with McCormick Reaper Company to form International Harvester, which quickly became the largest agricultural equipment manufacturer in the country.
James lived in Chicago, and wanted a winter house in south Florida. The pristine tropical coastline of Biscayne Bay near Miami was his chosen location (area map) for an immense 180-acre estate featuring manicured gardens, statues, and a mansion built in the Mediterranean Revival style.

James died in 1925 at age 66, and just one year later, the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 severely damaged the property. Efforts to restore it were set back again by the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. In the 1950s, James' heirs gifted the estate to Dade County, and it finally re-opened as Vizcaya Museum & Gardens for the public to experience and enjoy. In 1979, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, and remains a beautiful public museum today (Vizcaya Museum & Gardens website) despite subsequent destructive hurricanes such as Andrew in 1992 and Wilma in 2005.
One thing James couldn't have anticipated 100 years ago was that the spectacular bay-front location would be endangered by the bay itself. Archeological work being conducted in downtown Miami by Robert Carr and colleagues recently "provided proof that sea level in the area had risen more than a foot in the last century" (Miami Herald article), and my own work with tide gauge data from nearby Virginia Key suggests that the sea level has risen nearly 4 inches in just the past 20 years, and that the rate of sea level rise is accelerating (RSMAS blog post).
So, I wanted to compare some photographs of the estate taken nearly 100 years ago to some taken during a "king tide" on October 28, 2015 from nearly the same vantage points. With assistance from Remko Jansonius, Nydia Perez, and Emily Gibson at Vizcaya's Collections and Curatorial Division, the following comparisons offer some perspective on the rising seas that will threaten this unique and historic gem in the coming years and decades.

For the next two photo comparisons, we fast-forward by 30-35 years to the early 1950s.

Although the photos from 2015 were taken during a very high "king tide", that water level will soon enough be the new average, and then eventually the new low tide. Sea level rise is happening, and will continue to happen at even greater rates than we've ever measured. The last 4 inches of sea level rise took 20 years to occur, but the next 4 inches may only take another 10 years or less!
Some additional photos from the October 28, 2015 "king tide" are provided here without comparison, but set a benchmark for the next generation of Vizcaya photographers...

State of the Season
Through October 8, the Atlantic has had 10 named storms, 3 hurricanes, and 2 of those became major hurricanes (Category 3+). The strongest by far was Joaquin, the only depression to not become a tropical storm was TD9, and the shortest-lived storm was Bill.
The final advisory was just written on Joaquin last night as it transitioned to an extratropical cyclone, so I'll go over its fairly unique evolution. Joaquin's origins could be traced all the way back to around September 17-18 as an upper-level low pressure system. While tropical development from upper-level "cold core" lows is not unheard of, it is rare for storms of that pedigree to become nearly Category 5 hurricanes. Here is a quick timeline as a recap:
Sept 18: upper-level low identifiable
Sept 25: becomes disturbance of interest, or "Invest"
Sept 28: upgraded to tropical depression
Sept 29: upgraded to tropical storm
Sept 30: upgraded to hurricane
Oct 1: upgraded to major hurricane
Oct 3: strengthens to 135kts, just short of Category 5 status
Oct 7: weakens to tropical storm
Oct 8: final advisory written as extratropical cyclone
Water vapor images at select milestones in Joaquin's lifecycle leading up to its peak intensity.
Joaquin was the strongest hurricane in the Atlantic since Igor in 2010. It was the first major hurricane to impact the Bahamas since Irene 2011. It maintained hurricane intensity up to 40.5°N (same latitude as Long Island, NY). In terms of Accumulated Cyclone Energy, or ACE, Joaquin racked up the same amount as all nine previous named storms combined! That brings 2015 up to approximately 65% of an average season by this date... so still decidedly "quiet" overall.
Average seasonal cumulative ACE (purple) and 2015's accumulation so far (yellow).
Even in distant 'model-land', the Atlantic looks quiet, and with a very strong El Nino in high gear in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, tropical Atlantic activity should remain suppressed for the rest of the season. However, suppressed does not necessarily mean dead. October is historically still a month when extremely powerful hurricanes have formed and some of those made landfall. As Joaquin proved, we can still get very intense storms even though the overall seasonal activity is below average.
Recent October hurricanes that reached Category 4-5 intensity are:
Gonzalo 2014
Omar 2008
Wilma 2005
Michelle 2001
Iris 2001
Mitch 1998

Hurricane Joaquin finally moving northeast away from the Bahamas
Enhanced infrared satellite image of Joaquin and the U.S. east coast on Saturday morning.
Joaquin has devastated parts of the central Bahamas with nearly 2 feet of rain, destructive storm surge, tropical storm force winds for 3 days, and hurricane-force winds for 1.5 days. It will begin to clear up there today, so I'm sure we will start seeing more photos and videos of the aftermath. The anticipated turn to the north happened on Thursday night, and a turn more to the northeast occurred later Friday. The track history, as well as the current NHC forecast, is shown here:
The NHC forecast with the cone of uncertainty included is also shown for reference... note that Bermuda is now under a hurricane watch and a tropical storm warning. Although the cone is exactly the same size it has been for every storm all season, the current model guidance consensus makes this forecast much more confident than it previously was. A fixed-size cone is not capable of illustrating the evolving forecast confidence (see "Why the forecast cone of uncertainty is inadequate for Hurricane Joaquin").
Joaquin is now a Category 3 storm with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph, with a possibility of some strengthening today. It will then weaken gradually over the coming days as it encounters higher shear and cooler water. By the end of the week it is expected to transition to a strong extratropical cyclone.
Of course, the main event which has always been part of the forecast is the enormous rainfall totals along the U.S. east coast. An endless feed of deep tropical moisture from Hurricane Joaquin is streaming into the Carolinas and mid-Atlantic states, and won't be stopping anytime soon.
South Carolina has been the bullseye for incredible rains, which isn't surprising when you see the graphic above showing the moisture plume persistently centered on that state. The forecast through the end of the weekend is not good either... the flooding that is already happening will get much worse. Locations from South Carolina up to Maine are also experiencing coastal flooding due to onshore winds, but that is being caused by a mid-latitude storm system, not Joaquin.
The U.S. "dodged a bullet" with this storm. If a major hurricane had stalled over south Florida for 3 days, it's hard to even imagine the outcome. Or if it followed Sandy's path from three years ago, etc, etc. The prospect of a U.S. landfall was never presented as a certainty by anyone (I hope). There were times when the majority of model guidance as well as NHC indicated that the center could turn back west and hit the coast, but that should not be interpreted to mean that it was a sure thing. Times like this are when scientists and forecasters hope to educate the public more about probability and uncertainty, and that a single forecast is not always enough. Nature is just sometimes inherently less predictable than other times, the hard part is communicating that to everyone.
With Joaquin, this season has now had 10 named storms, 3 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes (Cat3+). The average for this date, using a 1981-2010 climatology, is 9 named storms, 4 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes. However, in terms of Accumulated Cyclone Energy, or ACE, this season is running at just a little over 50% of average for this date because most of the storms that formed were so short-lived.

Hurricane Joaquin hammers Bahamas, likely to track away from East Coast
Why the forecast cone of uncertainty is inadequate for Hurricane Joaquin
Another post today... it was just too much to cram into one. This covers an extremely important and timely topic: uncertainty in forecasts. In particular, the shortcomings of NHC's "cone of uncertainty".

View the Complete Social Profile of the neighbourhood, written by the City of Toronto.
For a complete review of the neighbourhood, shopping and amenities, read TorontoLife.com.
Hogg's Hollow is named after James Hogg, a Scotsman from Lanarkshire, who settled here in 1824. Hogg operated a whisky distillery and a grist mill, and was considered the most successful of all the millers in the valley.
The Jolly Miller Tavern, circa 1857, located at the bottom of Hoggs Hollow Hill, 3885 Yonge Street, was closed for many years, and has just re-opened in 2004 after many battles between developers, the city and groups that wanted to preserve the historical landmark. The George S. Pratt House, circa 1886, located at 17 Mill Street, is another historic landmark in Hogg's Hollow.
The present day Hogg's Hollow neighbourhood began to be subdivided in the 1920's. This neighbourhood grew in stages and was finally completed in the 1960's.
Heading north on Yonge Street, past the prominent Loblaws superstore with the cedar shingled roof motorists begin a descent down a steep valley. As you make your way down into the valley, you will see blue and white Hogg's Hollow street signs that beckon you to discover where they might lead. Follow these signs and you will be in the storybook neighbourhood of Hogg's Hollow.
Hogg's Hollow is an enchanted place set in the rustic beauty of the Don River valley. Here you will find winding crescents and private culs de sac lined with a colour guard of majestic Maple, Birch, Pine, Spruce and Willow Trees. There is even a stone bridge in the middle of this neighbourhood under which the Don River gently flows on its winding course towards Lake Ontario.
Hogg's Hollow's idyllic charm comes with a huge price tag as this is one of Toronto's most expensive neighbourhoods. Hogg's Hollow houses are set in a lush landscape with a hill and dale topography that is left unfettered and in its original state without the intrusion of sidewalks.
Hogg's Hollow houses were built over a long period of time between the 1920's and 1960's, which accounts for the curious mixture of English Cottage, Tudor, Colonial, Georgian and Modernist architecture found here. Freshly painted window shutters adorn many of these houses and picket fences are also popular.
Hogg's Hollow also contains luxury condominium townhouses and apartment buildings on the brow of the Yonge Street hill, overlooking the valley.
Hogg's Hollow residents can walk to the York Mills Centre located at the north-east corner of Yonge Street and York Mills Road. This centre includes retail shops and services, medical offices and a food court.
The Yonge Street shopping district to the south of Hogg's Hollow is anchored by a Loblaws Super Store, which features a garden centre and a take out restaurant. Continuing south on Yonge Street you will find clothing stores, professional and medical offices, restaurants and basic household services.
Hogg's Hollow residents host an annual 'Community Fair' where the families in the neighbourhood get together and enjoy rides, races, food, and good times. This fair is held in Brookfield Park, which is a small neighbourhood park with a playing field that doubles as an outdoor ice rink in the wintertime.
Hogg's Hollow community events are announced on the 'Notices' sign posts at Mill street and at the community bulletin board in the Millstone Parkette on Plymridge Road. York Mills Park, off of Yonge Street, is a large linear park that is traversed by the historic Don River. This park contains a walking path, a children's playground and tennis courts. Golf enthusiasts can walk to the scenic Don Valley Golf Course, just north of York Mills, off Yonge Street.

Hogg's Hollow residents can walk to the York Mills subway station entrances at either Old York Mills Road or inside the York Mills Centre. The York Mills station is also a Go Transit station that includes an express bus service to the Pearson International Airport.
Yonge Street provides motorists with a direct route downtown in only twenty minutes. For commuters the Yonge Street on-ramp to Highway 401 is just a few minutes north of Hogg's Hollow.

Nigeria leader says $1 billion needed to fight Boko Haram
ABUJA Jul 17, 2014 - 12:00 am GMT+3
by Jul 17, 2014 12:00 am
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday sought approval from parliament to borrow up to $1 billion abroad to help the armed forces tackle the security threat posed by Boko Haram group.
Jonathan, facing intense criticism at home and overseas for his government's failure to curb a spreading campaign of violence by the militants, made the request in a letter read to Nigeria's Senate and House of Representatives.
His government is accused by critics of not doing enough to protect civilians in Africa's biggest economy and oil producer from Boko Haram, which has killed thousands and abducted hundreds since launching an uprising in the northeast in 2009.
Nigeria's parliament was expected to debate the borrowing request at a time when international attention on the Boko Haram insurgency has increased since the abduction by its militants in mid-April of more than 200 schoolgirls. They remain missing.
His request was expected to raise some questions, as Nigeria's 2014 budget already provides for nearly $6 billion in security spending. The government has also faced allegations by a former central bank governor, Lamido Sanusi, that billions of dollars of oil revenues failed to reach the national treasury.
Nigeria's military has started receiving training, advice and intelligence support from allies such as the United States, Britain, France and Israel.
But it is still struggling to counter almost daily raids, frequent kidnaps and targeted bomb attacks by Boko Haram. The shadowy group, whose name means "Western education is sinful", says it wants to set up an Islamic state in Nigeria, whose population is split between Christians and Muslims.
Nigeria's military was once seen as a force for stability across West Africa, but it has suffered over the past two decades from a lack of investment in training, falling morale and failure to maintain equipment.
Authorities and military experts fear the insurgency, which has claimed bomb attacks in recent months in the capital Abuja and in the coastal commercial hub Lagos, is seeking to push its campaign into the more prosperous south.

Bowl fish dating
The discovery has some fairly frightening implications because it's crucial to archaeology to have steady fixation points in the dating work.There's probably no need to rewrite the history books, but it's likely that they contain some incorrectly dated excavation sites, Associate Professor Felix Riede told Aarhus University's newsletter This is due to the fact that fish contain less of the radioactive substance Carbon 14 if they have lived in hard water.See here for the meaning and origin of 'a different kettle of fish'.Being English, I have a close association with kettles; essential equipment for a custom in which the English can still claim world dominance, the making of 'a nice cup of tea'.The series chronicles their daily lives as they deal with everything, from eel attacks and field trips, to romance and homework.In 2009, President of entertainment Gary Marsh said of the show, "The Fish Hooks team has created one of the most original, inventive animated series on television – bringing an ingenious twist to the classic archetypes of high school life." The series will be produced using a mix of 2D digital animation and photo collages. An 11-minute preview was shown on September 3, 2010, following the Disney Channel Original Movie, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.
It turns out that the widely-used Carbon-14 dating method may be up to 2,000 years off the mark."We had not expected to see an effect of 2,000 years.Tents or marquees are pitched near the flowery banks of the river...a fire is kindled, and live salmon thrown into boiling kettles." Incidentally, the two meanings of the verb 'poach', which are 'steal game' and 'cook by simmering in water', both derive from the French 'pocher', which means 'put in a bag'.The production of faience lived its own quite life in the shadow of the blooming interest for industrial production of porcelain at Royal Copenhagen.But the period from 1901 - 1928 became a new period of success under the artistic input from Chr.The stars of Fish Hooks are former That's So Raven and Cory in the House star Kyle Massey, Starstruck, Baby Daddy, as well as Jonas The series revolves around outgoing fish Milo, his nervous brother Oscar, as well as their "overly dramatic" friend Bea Goldfishberg.They attend a school known as Fresh Water High, submerged in an aquarium in a pet store.It also premiered on ABC Family on January 15, 2011, at 7/6c.The show premiered in the US on Disney Channel on September 24, 2010 and on Disney XD on January 14, 2011.But this may method may well be fraught with errors.(Photo: Sagnlandet Lejre)Danish Stone Age settlements may turn out to be hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years younger than we thought.

The Iraq War, Research Paper Example
This Research Paper was written by one of our professional writers.
Need a custom Research Paper written for you?
This paper explores the economic costs of the Iraq war on the US Economy. It puts forward an argumentative approach looking at the advantages and disadvantages of the US war in Iraq. This is contrasted to the war in Vietnam and the costs vs. benefits of prosecuting that war. The arguments are put into context by examination of the political viewpoints, international viewpoints and those of the United Nations. The results are essentially informative based upon research conducted over a number of reliable sources.
The prelude to war in Iraq started when the tyrannical regime of Saddam Hussein invaded its neighbour of Kuwait. Hussein claimed that Kuwait belonged to the people of Iraq and was being exploited by the West for its oil. As such the oil belonged to Iraq and he invaded the country in 1990. The Iraqi invasion force occupied the country for 6 months before they were expelled by an international coalition force. When leaving Kuwait the Iraqi troops tried to destroy all of the oil wells in Kuwait and later they spent the next several years abusing no fly zone restrictions that had been placed upon them. The real turning point came after the terrorist attack on New York City (9/11) and President Bush citing evidence that terrorist links could be traced back to Saddam Hussein in Iraq and state sponsored terrorism saw Iraq developing a program of weapons of mass destruction. These including chemical and biological warfare agents. "The U.S. claimed to have intelligence which proved the existence of the WMD and asked the U.N. Security Council to authorize an attack. The council did not. Instead, the U.S. and the United Kingdom enlisted 29 other countries in a "coalition of the willing" to support and carry out the invasion launched in March 2003." (Porter).
The US approached the United Nations Security Council to sanction the attack but they did not approve this. The results of the UN Weapons Inspectorate in Iraq were inconclusive and they found no firm evidence of weapons of mass destruction. Certain countries in Europe like France and Germany were also opposed to the invasion and preferred a diplomatic solution. The coalition ignored this and went ahead regardless.
Objectives of the war
The main objective of the war was that of regime change and deposing the tyrannical reign of Saddam Hussein and his administration that were committing acts of genocide against the people, particularly the Kurds in the North of Iraq. He also suppressed the people of Iraq and posed a continued threat to Kuwait and stability in the Middle East. This combined with him stockpiling weapons of mass destruction and his belligerent attitude to the west, particularly sponsoring acts of terrorism, sealed his fate. The acts that were to follow astounded the world as they witnessed a country torn apart and the brutal acts of revenge that resulted in the public executions of Saddam Hussein and many of his senior followers.
Main issues from us military perspective
The US Military essentially had the following objectives in the prosecution of the war against Iraq:
Regime Change – Depose the Hussein Government and make the protagonists stand trial for war crimes
Re-establish a form of democratic government- in Iraq and liberating the people in order that they may run their own country free from persecution from a brutal dictatorship
Help in the reconstruction of Iraq after the prime objectives had been completed
Neutralise weapons of mass destruction – Eliminate any stockpiles of discovered weapons of mass destruction
Collect Evidence – Collection of evidence of genocide and other killings that may subsequently be used in the trials of those arrested in Saddam Hussein's regime.
Economic factors of the war
There is no doubt that the costs of the Iraq war have held a tremendous burden on the US economy "the full economic costs of the war to the American taxpayers and the overall U.S. economy go well beyond even the immense federal budget costs already reported. These "hidden costs" of the Iraq war" (Schumer and Maloney). Since the start of the war in 2003 the costs of the way have continued to escalate on an annual basis. This has far exceeded the budget of the US Administration. The burden to the American taxpayer has also increased dramatically. Perhaps the most troublesome aspect of this is the amount of monies that get divested in both Afghanistan and Iraq instead of being diverted into the US domestic economy in terms of improving industrial development and the health system. "The President has requested a total of $607 billion for the Iraq war alone since 2003. This is over ten times higher than the $50 to $60 billion cost estimated by the Administration prior to the start of the war" (Schumer and Maloney). The war between 2002-2008showed alarming cost of some $1.3 trillion, rising to $1.6 trillion if you factor in the contribution to the Afghanistan conflict. The Joint Economic Committee has also produced a chart which illustrates the burden of these costs on the American taxpayer and family. In addition, . You also need to factor in the cost of 4,000 US fatalities as a result of the war and the costs dealing with the rehabilitation of the many wounded soldiers.
The Washington post reported in September 2010 that in 2008 the total cost to to the USA for the war in Iraq amounted to $3 trillion. However, in 2010 the $3 trillion estimate is too low and the end resulting figure is likely to be much higher. The original estimate failed to include the cost for dealing with the wounded soldiers, compensation of disabled veterans and all of the opportunity costs associated with the war. The original calculation was pinned on the war for a $5 on the barrel increase of oil, however the conservative estimate is that it was at least $10/barrel which adds a further$250 billion to the original price estimate. This in turn had a decestating detrimental effect on the US economy. This was a war that was almost entirely funded on borrowing which caused the US debt to rise from $6.4 trillion in March 2007 to that of $10 trillion in 2008, with the war being 25% of the increase in costs. In addition, this excludes any estimate for the post war costs which are estimated to add a further $0.5 trillion to the national debt. (Bilmes)
The global financial crisis contributed to the problem as the higher oil prices meant that the money spent on oil abroad was not diverted into domestic projects at home. This in turn failed to provide the economic stimulus on the domestic front. Hence the paying of foreign contractors in Iraq was only a short term stimulus and not the long term injection of capital required in order to stimulate the home economy. "With the unemployment rate remaining stubbornly high, the country needs a second stimulus. But mounting government debt means support for this is low. The result is that the recession will be longer, output lower, unemployment higher and deficits larger than they would have been absent the war." (Bilmes).
Joseph Stiglitz an economist at Columbia University has reported that the health costs alone could exceed $600 billion against the earlier budget of $50-60 billion "Disability and health care payments for veterans alone could amount to $600 billion. "This (war) is an unfunded entitlement (program) we have created in the past five years," Stiglitz this week told a forum at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit. " (Kirchoff). The war is bound to have an impact on GDP but it does include the inability of previous administration to have invested sufficient funds in building up the defence budget in order to deal with such emergencies. "Allen Sinai, president of consulting and analysis firm Decision Economics, says defense spending does add to gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the value of goods and services in the country. But at the same time, he says, the net impact of the Iraq conflict has been to reduce GDP by as much as a full percentage point annually" (Bilmes).
Economist warn against pegging the costs of the war in Iraq purely against the conflict. It is understood that the war contributed to this but there were other major factors in play, for example at the start of the war it coincided with a deep cut in production of oil fromVenezuala, a major world exporter. This caused a deep surge in the global demand for oil. Despite this Iraq is today producing around 2.2 million barrels of oil per day which is almost equivalent to the rate of production at the start of the war.
Stiglitz stated that the Feds have flooded the economy with liquidity and that we are now paying the price for those troubled years" To offset that depressing effect, the Fed has flooded the economy with liquidity and the regulators looked the other way when very imprudent lending was going up," Stiglitz said. "We were living on borrowed money and borrowed time and eventually a day of reckoning had to come, and it has now come" (Trotta).
The Iraq war budget of 2007 was $138 billion or placed into better perspective this amount could have funded 45 million Americans with Medicaid, built 400 new schools and paid for 30,000 teachers, facilitated the construction of 1.6 million new homes. All of the costs for the ongoing Afghanistan war have yet to be factored into this huge equation but as that war rages on so does the bill and debt to the USA. It is the combined legacy of these two wars that might ultimately see the demise of one of the world's great super powers and economies "Add them all up together, factor in the structural mega-deficits and costly financial bailouts engineered by the politicians in Washington, and one cannot escape the conclusion that it will be bankruptcy, not victory, which will be the final outcome and legacy of America's war on Iraq." (Global economic crisis)
Comparative analysis vietnam
In contrast to the Iraq war, the US can do comparisons to that of the Vietnam War "The Vietnam War cost the United States 58,000 lives and 350,000 casualties. It also resulted in between one and two million Vietnamese deaths." (Digital History). Statistics illustrated the cost of the human tragedy:
An estimated total of 2,122,244 were killed and 3,650,946 wounded.
58,169 Americans were killed (11,465 of them were teenagers) and 304,000 wounded.
444,000 North Vietnamese and 220,557 South Vietnamese military personnel and 587,000 civilians were killed.
2,590,000 Americans and 59,520 Australians served in Vietnam
6,727,084 tons of bombs were dropped (compared with 2,700,000 tons dropped on Germany during World War 11.) (Thorogood).
Whilst Governments prosecute Wars it is the public that funds them and pays for it by increased taxation "War funding has been borrowed from the public. Since 2001, Federal government revenues as a share of Gross Domestic Product have decreased by one percent, while outlays have grown significantly and debt held by the public has increased by approximately $1.5 trillion" (Schumer and Maloney). The chart below illustrates the apportionment of the costs in the Iraq war.
The costs measured in billions of $.
Of particular interest is the disruption to the world's oil supplies amounting to some $270 billion and the increase in the cost of oil to the consumer from the start of the war "Since the start of the Iraq war in 2003, the price of oil has increased, from $37 per barrel (in the week prior to the war) to a recent peak of well over $90 per barrel in November 2007" (Schumer and Maloney).
Admiral Mike Mullen stated that the national debt is one of the most significant threats to national security "The national debt is the single biggest threat to national security, according to Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Tax payers will be paying around $600 billion in interest on the national debt by 2012. " (Mullen).
Increase in military spending
Most people believe that wars create wealth and increase the number of jobs. In actual fact the increase in military spending tends to create the reverse trend. The chart below illustrates the steady decline in jobs, particularly in the construction and manufacturing sectors. The impact is not really in the first 5 years but more the consequences over a much longer 20 year period. "The cumulative current account deficit over the twenty year period in the high military spending scenario is approximately $1.8 trillion higher than the baseline scenario" (Baker). Increased military spending is also cited as one of the reasons for lost opportunities in the USA "As far as providing jobs, military spending is a much worse investment than other federally funded programs. For example, $1 billion spent by the Pentagon on weapons, supplies and services generates 25,000 jobs. However, the same $1 billion would also create 30,000 mass transit jobs, 36,000 housing jobs, 41,000 education jobs, or 47,000 health care jobs." (Finley).
The international perspective
There is a considerable argument that you pay for super power status. The chart illustrates how far removed the US is from other countries relative to military spending.
The arguments – Iraq war
The pro arguments The con arguments
§ We have to stop the spread of world terrorism and those countries that support it. § The USA cannot keep footing the bill for intervention in world problems. The international community needs to take a larger shore of cost responsibility
§ The US is the champion of democracy and we need to protect peoples liberty, freedom and human rights § The US incurs far more collateral damage than any other country. I.e. loss of life and wounded soldiers. There needs to be a greater apportionment of responsibility
§ We cannot allow a middle eastern country to hold the west to ransom over the supply of oil § The cost of wars and interventions is wrecking the US economy
§ We cannot permit the invasion of sovereign countries in violation of UN treaties e.g. Kuwait § Monies expended on wars are diverted from domestic programs like health and unemployment
§ We cannot permit rogue states to have weapons of mass destruction § Wars impose a tremendous burden on the taxpayer when the funds should be directed towards job creation and better health care
§ By its dominant world position the US has a responsibility to more vulnerable countries in maintaining world order § The long term implications of the costs of war mean that we increase the indebtedness of the nation
§ The US is the strongest voice of diplomacy in the world today § We may not have the moral right to intervene in other countries domestic problems
"In the current economic purgatory that America finds itself in, it is astonishing that no policymaker has been held accountable for this $3 trillion "mistake" (mistake, that is, for those who believe the invasion was really based on the claim that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction-as opposed to reengineering the Middle East and securing oil resources)." (Global economic crisis).
It is questionable whether this was the right course of action for the US at that point in time. The UN Weapons inspectorate had not discovered any weapons of mass destruction and they had not completed the job. Despite Saddam Hussein being somewhat of a despicable character he had managed to retain relative stability in the area. Creating regime change is always dangerous unless you have a robust plan for recovery after the war. Essentially you are left holding the empty money purse and will be expected to replenish it and help in the rebuild of the country in the aftermath of destruction. The US had already taken a huge responsibility in helping to rebuild Europe after World War 2 ( The Marshall plan). They may have learnt from this and considered the financial burden resulting in the reconstruction of Iraq. To make matters worse there remains the ongoing problems with Afghanistan and the potential for conflict with North and South Korea. "The USA led the rise [in military spending], but it was not alone. Of those countries for which data was available, 65% increased their military spending in real terms in 2009. The increase was particularly pronounced among larger economies, both developing and developed: 16 of the 19 states in the G20 saw real-terms increases in military spending in 2009." (Shah)
"Military spending slows economic growth, increases the budget deficit, increases the trade deficit as can be seen, in fact, in US's negative Current Account Balance, formerly called the 'balance of trade deficit'" (Hart)

Traffic is a horror nowadays, and since we can no longer afford to travel far for our usual dinner dates, we've been frequenting the Banawe area after work for quite sometime now. Just recently, we came across this new restaurant called Hawkers Republic- Singapore's Famous Street Food.
D and I both love laksa. We would normally go to Bugis in Banawe for our laksa cravings, so we decided to order one at Hawkers to see how it compares.
The moment it was served, I thought maybe the restaurant is also being managed by Bugis. That is because it looked very similar to what we just had in Chomp Chomp few months back. Chomp Chomp is another Singaporean restaurant in Banawe under the same management of Bugis.
The noodles looked the same, the toppings almost identical, and the broth also had that spicy, creamy, and peanut buttery taste. It was pretty good actually, but I personally find Bugis' laksa more "malinamnam". Other than that, it was really a close fight.
The Hainanese chicken meal comes with a quarter of Hainanese chicken, rice and soup. The chicken was tender but not too moist and flavorful. I enjoyed dipping mine into the sauces to enhance its flavor. If you are a fan of ginger, then you'll love their Hainanese rice since it has a strong ginger taste.
I enjoyed these sweet and savory chicken wings and found them quite a steal for its price. The sauce tasted more like pinoy barbecue rather than soy garlic but I loved it just the same. I just wish they serve it in a different plate as the sauce keeps dripping on the sides of the small chopping board.
I can't help but compare Hawkers Republic to Bugis. Their menu offerings are almost identical and they have fresh fruit shakes too! Prices on their menu are also the same if not cheaper. Although I still prefer the laksa at Bugis, I wouldn't mind going back to Hawker to try some other dishes that they offer.
They currently have a soft opening promo of less P100 for a minimum of P500 on total bill, and less P200 for a total bill of P1000 and above. This promo is until Feb 28, 2016 only.

"The entire team at Streem will be joining Box to help work on the future of content management and collaboration in the enterprise," wrote Box CEO Aaron Levie in a blog post Monday.
Streem developed a file system, called StreemFS, that makes its service behave as if it were a local drive attached to users' computers. It lets users "natively access files in the cloud right on their desktop," according to Streem's website.
It's not necessary for users to keep local copies of the files on their computers and sync them with the versions stored in the Streem cloud. Streem stores a single copy on its cloud service and streams it down to users' devices on demand.
"Files are opened natively on the device, requiring no special software, configuration, or any change in the consumer's behavior," the company said in April when it launched the service in a closed beta period.
The company also developed what it describes as an "on-the-fly video transcoder" that streams videos regardless of their original format and dynamically adjusts the quality based on users' Internet connection speeds.
"Want to watch a 2GB video on your desktop? Streem will open it in your favorite video player and start playing immediately -- there's no lag or delay," according to Streem's website.
Box plans to incorporate Streem's technologies into its cloud storage and file-sharing service, which is designed primarily for business use. Box isn't saying when Streem's technology will appear in its service, but Levie gave a sneak peek at how he envisions Box customers will benefit.
"For customers across data-intensive industries like Media & Entertainment, Oil & Gas, Healthcare, and Manufacturing, this means instant access to far larger volumes of data than what your local drives can support. For enterprises in regulated industries like Life Sciences and Financial Services, it means better protection and control of information and where it lives," Levie wrote.
Streem will migrate its customers' accounts over to Box. A Box spokesman said the company will provide details later about the logistics of the migration.
Box, which filed for an IPO in March but hasn't yet gone public, is losing money and doesn't foresee turning a profit in the near future. It closed its fiscal year Jan. 31 with revenue of US$124.2 million, up 111 percent year over year, and a net loss of $168.6 million, compared with a net loss of $112.6 million in the previous fiscal year. It has about 34,000 paying corporate customers, 40 percent of them Fortune 500 companies. However, only 7 percent of its 25 million end users pay for the service.
Streem was backed by Y Combinator, an early stage investor. Box didn't disclose financial terms of the deal.
Streem offered the service free to beta testers. It planned to charge $20 per user, per month, with a 15 percent discount for customers who signed up for annual subscriptions. The company was still in its beta testing period when Box acquired it, so it hadn't started charging customers yet, according to the Box spokesman.

Wolfgang Van Halen To Appear On Howard Stern Show, Debut New Single 'Distance' On Monday
November 12, 2020 —by Eric Senich Leave a Comment
Wolfgang Van Halen will be releasing his debut single "Distance" on Monday. That same morning he'll appear on Sirius/XM's The Howard Stern Show.
Below is the statement released by Wolfgang's label Explorer1 Music Group:
"Distance" is a a song that was initially written for the debut album, but was going to be held for a later time.
"As my Pop continued to struggle with various health issues, I was imagining what my life would be like without him and how terribly I'd miss him. While this song is incredibly personal, I think anyone can relate to the idea of having a profound loss in their own life."
With the passing of the song's inspiration, Wolfgang's father – the worldwid icon Eddie Van Halen – it seemed appropriate to release now as the song was one of his father's favorites from the recording sessions.
"I never anticipated 'Distance' would be the first song of mine that people would hear, but I also thought my father would be here to celebrate its release along with me. This is for him."
Wolfgang's debut solo album was recorded at 5150 Studios and produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette. No official album release date has been announced.

Murcia man receives €19,500 telephone bill for accidental SMS messages
A man in Murcia was shocked to receive his monthly telephone bill showing a total of €19,500. The bill was eventually cancelled by the telephone company after a consumer organisation got involved in the dispute.
Due to a glitch in the phone company's system, the client's mobile had automatically sent more than 100,000 SMS messages. This fault generated messages that were sent every second, something which was obviously proved to have not been sent by the user.
The mobile client of this phone company, who did not want his identity to be published, explained that he had been at his place of work when opened the envelope with the invoice, which was for the month of August 2020. At first glance, he thought that the amount was a little more than €19, when his average consumption was usually around was €70.
However, when he saw the diagram on the bill, indicating the consumption bars for the months, he was startled to see that the one corresponding to August was "very high". This is when he saw the total of €19,484.60, which he said actually made him feel dizzy, and that his company colleagues were concerned about his state of health.
This man pointed out that he had been litigating against a bank for ten years in the courts, winning his claim in the Supreme Court, where he filed an appeal after having lost in first and second instance. He also explained that the bill had not been charged to his usual account. It had been sent to another account that had sufficient funds to pay the bill, yet it was not an account he had authorised or provided to Vodafone.
After Vodafone ignored his first two complaints they cut his line, and threatened to place him on a blacklist of defaulters and initiate a lawsuit. As a result, he contacted the association La Defensa del Consumidor, of which his wife is a member.
Finally, the mediation service of this association, after the "indecipherable web of rampages from one department to another" of Vodafone, located a board under the pressure of the judicial complaint. Eventually, the conflict was resolved, when the company admitted the error, as reported by 20minutos.es.

The purpose of this article is to explain an important aspect of how to compare electricity prices: What is a standing offer? And what is a market offer? Energy retailers often seem to make electricity comparisons difficult, but with our help, you'll be spotting the best deal from across the room!
The advice in this article is applicable for both residential and small business (tariff) accounts. Large market customers might like to check out our cheap electricity page, which provides detailed instructions for how to source the best deal for commercial and industrial sites.
Let's get things underway by explaining what the two different types of offers look like.
What does a market offer look like?
You'll notice that the above advertisement includes a headline rate with two big discounts. But it doesn't actually specify the electricity rates themselves. "27% off of what?" you may well ask.
That's better. Now we can see the discount, but also the rates, fees and the length of the contract. Now that we know what we're dealing with, let's take a closer look.
The key feature of market offers are that prices are set by the energy retailer. That's as opposed to being set by the Australian Government. That is, the Australian Energy Regulator (AER).
Because the retailer is setting the price, they have the ability to offer discounts, such as those shown above. Generally speaking, this makes being on a market offer your best bet as a consumer — but there's one big catch — prices can change at any time.
Your retailer can change their prices at any time, even just after you've signed on.
They must tell you no later than your next bill.
The upshot is, you're probably still better off on a market retail offer, but you do need to take any communications you receive from your retailer seriously. Read those letters and emails carefully. Get in the habit of checking the rates and discounts on your bill against your original offer.
The other critical consideration, is that market retail offers are time limited, based on a contract. What happens when your contract expires?
You default to a standard offer, explained in the next section, and you pay what we like to think of as a "lazy tax". Put simply, if you can't be bothered to renew your market offer when it expires, expect to pay a good deal extra.
A standing offer (aka "standard retail offer") is a standard, AER regulated contract to provide electricity to a property.
These offers remain in effect until they are cancelled — either by you, or your retailer. These contracts are "no frills"; they don't include discounts or incentives.
Logically, it makes sense that a market offer should default to a standing offer when it expires. The alternative — disconnection — would be unappealing, but the catch is you'll tend to pay a premium for letting your original offer lapse.
Often set by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER), who impose upper limits on what can be charged for electricity.
By legislation, prices can't change more than once every six months.
In case of non-payment, the retailer must give you certain notices and additional time to pay before being disconnected.
Another theoretical advantage of standard retail offers is that there are no exit fees. I say "theoretical", because in practice, the exit fees of market contracts are generally quite low and are often waived altogether.
Compare electricity prices: Which type of offer are you on?
For Origin customers, under "Your Agreement" it will state what type of offer you're on: In this case it's "Origin Standing". Uh-oh.
The fact is, you're likely to be on a standard retail offer if you have been with the same retailer for more than a year or two, and haven't specifically requested a market offer. It happens.
If you're happy with your existing retailer, but have reverted to a standing offer at some stage, the easiest option is simply to call them and ask to be put back onto a market offer.
Remember to consider both the benefits, and duration of the offer.
The Australian Government have a great website — Energy Made Easy — that makes it simple to compare electricity prices and offers.
There are a multitude of household name businesses, such as iSelect and Compare the Market, who will offer you a new deal. Be sure to read the fine print though and keep in mind that these companies don't necessarily compare all retailers and plans, and are obviously paid a commission for their service.
You're also free to contact Bulk Energy. While we specialise in business energy, and are currently not paid commission on residential energy deals, we know the market and are always happy to help consumers make electricity comparisons.
In the example above, we helped the customer to save around $595 per annum, staying with their existing retailer. A significant win, so, unless you're Jeff Bezos, it's well worth following this one up.

Popis je naziv prvog kompilacijskog albuma beogradskog muzičkog sastava Kanda, Kodža i Nebojša. Album je najavljen 12. marta 2020. godine, a izdat je 19. juna 2020. godine, u izdavačkoj kući Mascom.

Album je izdat na CD-u i na gramofonskoj ploči.

Na albumu se nalaze rearanžirane pesme sa prethodnih albuma grupe.

Produkcija
Kompletan album je snimljen za tri dana. Kao i za prethodni album, Uskoro, i pesme za ovaj album su snimljene jednovremenim snimanjem celog benda.

Frontmen Oliver Nektarijević izjavio je da snimanje ovog albuma nije bilo unapred planirano, već da je nadahnuće za rearanžiranje došlo nakon preslušavanja snimaka koncertnih nastupa benda, i željom da se naprave kvalitetniji snimci izvornih pesama.

Na omotu albuma je fotografija izloga prodavnice bombona u Ulici Gavrila Principa u Beogradu. Gramofonske ploče su izrađene u beloj, odnosno crnoj boji, dok CD-ovi nose motiv sa omota.

U oktobru 2020. godine najavljeno je drugo izdanje albuma na gramofonskoj ploči.

Promocija
Marta 2020. godine objavljen je video-spot za pesmu Tajne letenja, a nešto kasnije i spot za pesmu Šafl.

Gitarista Nenad Pejović je najavio brojne koncertne nastupe, kao i veliki koncert u Beogradu u jesen 2020.

Ocene kritike

Dragan Ambrozić, programski urednik Doma omladine Beograda, ocenio je da je ovo "stilski ujednačen, svež album, koji konačno KKN predstavlja kao sam vrh domaćeg rokenrola, i stvaraoce jedne od najboljih rok pesmarica na srpskom [jeziku]."

Aleksandar Žikić je za Vreme napisao da "Dvostruki album (...) i uvažavanje s kojim je projekat dočekan u javnosti, predstavljaju ohrabrujuće znakove normalizacije prilika u plasmanu istinski vredne popularne muzike."

Spisak pesama

Na CD-izdanju nalaze se ukupno 23 pesme, dok je na LP-izdanju isti redosled pesama, ali izostaju -{Righteous}- i -{Ahead There}-.

Od albuma na kojima su pesme izvorno objavljene, sa pet pesama najzastupljeniji je album Prekidi stvarnosti, a samo sa albuma -{Guarda Toma!}- nema nijedne.

He is the first punjabi actor who has made commitment to the punjabi cinema to help compete with the big budget hindi films. Mel Karade Rabba was his last punjabi film and was an all time blockbuster for a punjabi film as it broke all the records. The film made more than the hindi films that released on the same day even though it had very few screens/shows. Almost all of his punjabi films so far were hits/success and were his only solo hero hits of his career as other than punjabi films, he has had very little successful films as a lead.
He has acted in a number of Punjabi movies such as Mannat, Yaaran Naal Baharan, Tera Mera Ki Rishta, and Munde U.K. De and Mel Karade Rabba. His punjabi films have done really well in Punjab as well as overseas. He started his hindi film career with Maachis, a movie based on terrorism in North India. The film was critically acclaimed and did reasonably well at the box office. Jimmy Shergill has since then worked in many films but only few have been successes. His most recent film is alongside Shahrukh Khan and Kajol in My Name is Khan. Jimmy Shergill played the role of Shahrukh's younger brother.
Of late, Shergill has been performing a variety of roles in various films such as Munna Bhai MBBS, Lage Raho Munnabhai, Delhi Heights and A Wednesday. He has been a critically acclaimed performer ever since his entry into Bollywood. His role in Mohabbatein was really appreciated. He went on to act in Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai and many other films post the success of Mohabbatein. One of his best performances came in the movie Haasil where he plays the role of a college student who gets roped into the infamous student politics of Allahabad University.
On the personal front, Shergill is married to Priyanka Puri from Delhi and they have a son named Vir.

One of the fundamental data privacy rights protected under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the right to be forgotten. This GDPR provision can be quite a burden for organizations because each request to delete a data subject's personal data needs to be evaluated individually and carefully.
In this article, we will explore the right to be forgotten, how it is codified in various laws, and the strongest arguments against it in the United States.
What is the right to be forgotten?
By the most common definition, the right to be forgotten, or the right to erasure, is the right to request that one's personal information to be removed from an organization's records. The purpose of the right to be forgotten is founded in the reality that in the digital age, it's all too easy for outdated personal data to harm the individual's reputation. However, the right to privacy must be balanced against another right, freedom of expression.
The right to be forgotten has been upheld by courts in various parts of the world. In 2006, Argentina supported the legitimate interests of its citizens with legislation requiring the delisting of embarrassing and harmful content from the Internet. In 2014, the French supervisory authority CNIL and the EU Court of Justice (ECJ) ordered Google to remove links to pages containing damaging or false information about Mario Costeja González from its search engine results, after the Spanish man sued Google Spain and Google Inc. for continuing to show information about his debts a decade after he had settled them.
The Google's case was the first time the right to be forgotten was formally recognized in Europe, and it has shaped data privacy protection in the laws there. In 2016, the European Union enacted the GDPR, which requires businesses to limit their processing of personal data, protect individuals' right to privacy, and develop comprehensive privacy policies to avoid steep fines and other legal ramifications.
[Free eBook] GDPR for Dummies: What It Is, What to Expect and How to Prepare
How is "the right to be forgotten" covered by laws?
During the recent years, the nature of the Internet that "never forgets" catalyzed the debates and resulted in arrival of the "Right to be forgotten" terms in the laws protecting individuals' right to privacy.
In particular, the statutory obligations of the GDPR limit personal data processing activities and guarantee every EU resident the right to have all their personal information erased by an organization. Under GDPR Article 17, individuals have the right to send a erasure request and the organization must use suitable measures to delete their personal data without "undue delay" and at no cost to the individual. In addition, the GDPR includes Article 19, which is called "Notification obligation regarding rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing." This provision requires any controller who receives an erasure request to inform everyone with whom it has shared the individual's data about that request, using all available means and appropriate measures.
Why does "the right to be forgotten" exist in the EU but not in the U.S.?
Today, Europeans are protected by top courts and privacy laws. They can send removal requests to any organization that holds data about them — including big tech companies. In fact, in May of 2014, the ECJ ruled that individuals can force the removal of links from search engine results if those links lead to articles about them that are "inaccurate" or true but "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant, or excessive." The exception is if there is an overriding public interest for the search results to remain public, such as scientific or historical research purposes or the defense of legal claims.
Since that ruling, Google has received 867,145 requests to delete 3,388,761 URLs, and it has delisted most of those URLs from its search across sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The company now even has an online form to simplify the process of submitting a delisting request. However, in 2019, the same court added that Google is not required to respond to requests globally; the ruling is applicable in EU countries only. The European Court of Justice ruling explained the reasons as follows: "Currently, there is no obligation under the EU law, for a search engine operator who grants a request for de-referencing made by a data subject … to carry out such a de-referencing on all the versions of its search engine."
The debate around the-right-to-be-forgotten applicability in the U.S. is hot and heavy, in part because of the American right of freedom of speech, which is enshrined in the United States in the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights. Forcing information to be delisted can be seen as narrowing this freedom and bringing the risk of censorship.
How does the "right to be forgotten" stand against "the right to remember"?
Data privacy is a complex issue. Internet users leave their footprints when they shop online, post on social media or simply visit a website, and third parties, including data brokers, avidly collect and analyze the data. How will they use that information? What if the data becomes irrelevant or could damage your reputation? What if you've experienced defamation or learned that your private data is exposed to the public? How can you remove the content? How long will your digital past continue to haunt you?
Taking matters to court can actually complicate your journey to be forgotten. For example, coverage of Mario Costeja González suing Google has made him a public figure — hundreds of articles have been published about the story. Does Google have to remove all links to stories about this case from its search results? Only the ones that contain González's name? These are intriguing questions.
The right to be forgotten has its pros and cons, and data privacy laws are continuing to evolve. For example, in November 2019, a German court ruled that the name of a person who was convicted of murdering two people and got a life sentence had to be removed from online search results. This decision was very controversial in Europe and elsewhere, in light of the argument that criminals should not be allowed to have their crimes erased from public view.
10 Ways You Can Identify Sensitive Data More Accurately with Netwrix
How can you ensure that you can properly process data subject requests?
The GDPR requires organizations to respond quickly to requests from data subjects, including requests from people exercising their right to be forgotten. To ensure compliance, you need to be able to determine exactly what information you have about an individual and where that information is stored.
A data discovery and classification solution will scan your data repositories for the types of data you consider important (based on industry standards like the GDPR or your custom requirements), sort it into categories, and label it with a digital signature denoting its classification. You can use those labels to implement controls that protect data in accordance with its value and applicable regulations, and to quickly find the exact data you need to comply with a data subject request. Some solutions even enable you to set up a workflow that will send all data that meets certain criteria to one place so it can easily be reviewed and appropriate content can be deleted.
