Protectionism: A Fairy Tale of the State and War
Writing about web page http://www.pieria.co.uk/articles/in_defence_of_protectionism
On Pieria, John Aziz writes in defence of protectionism, that is, the use of taxes and subsidies to shield a country's economy from foreign competition. He begins from the Ricardian story of the benefits of two countries sharing the benefits of free trade based on comparative advantage.
England was good at producing wool, Portugal wine, so they trade and both are better off. There is the fairy tale about how because market transactions are always voluntary and always beneficial that trade, being simply a market transaction across borders, is always win-win.
But this, he says, is a "fairy tale." In real life, he argues, comparative advantage has little to do with resource endowments and is generally artificial. Comparative advantage may be part of the historical pattern, he concedes. But it misses something essential. What's missing? He goes on.
Let's imagine a model with two different goods, say, guns and butter. England specialises in producing guns and munitions, and Portugal in butter and agricultural produce. For years, they trade and enjoy the benefit of maximising output through specialisation. Then, England starts a trade dispute with Portugal. They cease trading. England loses access to butter and various agricultural products from Portugal's large population of butter-producing cows, having to replace Portuguese butter with lower-quality and higher-priced Welsh butter. Portugal, however, loses access to guns and munitions. Although this is immediately recognised as a risk to national security, and Portugal quickly tries to start up its own domestic firearms industry, the trade dispute escalates into full-blown war and with their geostrategic advantage in guns, England swiftly triumphs and occupies Portugal.
The implication is clear. Portugal should have insured itself against the contingency of conflict with England by limiting trade through protectionism. By means of an interventionist industrial policy, Portugal would have developed its own guns and could then have resisted England.
Several things are noteworthy about this argument.
First, it too is a fairy tale. As John Aziz rightly points out, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with that. All our models are fairy tales. The point is that some are useful and others not. How can we tell? We test them against stuff that has actually happened. If they survive the confrontation, then we can use them to suggest practical implications for the future. So, the fact that it's a fairy tale is of interest, but it's not a problem. Let's move on.
Next noteworthy point: Let's test this model against something that actually happened. Not literally, because England has not been to war with Portugal since long before gunpowder came along. Replace Portugal by Germany, however, and the fairy tale suddenly acquires an ominous ring of truth. Doesn't it have an uncanny fit with what happened in 1914?
No, not exactly. In 1914 Germany and Britain went to war. While Britain was the pioneer of free trade, Germany had practised protectionism since 1879. German tariffs limited trade and promoted self-sufficiency in both industrial and agricultural goods. In Britain, by contrast, free trade accelerated the decline of agriculture and maximized the exposure of the British economy to imports. In 1913 at least 60 percent of the calories used at home for human consumption were imported. Many observers thought that left Britain ridiculously vulnerable to wartime blockade. German naval strategists agreed. It's true that in World War I food became a weapon of war just as much as guns.
Yet in the outcome it was Germany, the protectionist power, that struggled to manage the wartime disruption of trade and saw civilians die of hunger, while the British got by without serious shortages.
What explains this turnaround? As Mançur Olson (1963) argued (and before him Friedrich Aeroboe), the German economy entered the war in 1914 already weakened by protectionism. Food tariffs had encouraged peasant farmers to stay on their farms. This kept a large subsistence agriculture in being and reduced productivity and incomes. Because German farmers were already well into diminishing returns it was then hard to increase output at need, when war broke out.
As for industry, because imports of food into Germany were restricted in peacetime and labour held back in agriculture, German urban employers faced higher wage costs. To compensate for higher wage costs, industrial firms economized on labour and pushed up productivity. But across the economy as a whole, efficiency and average incomes were reduced.
A history of protectionism gave no national advantage in either World War. I've argued (in several places; see Harrison 2012 for example) that the main factors that gave systematic advantage were a country's size and wealth, and the main source of disadvantage was a peasant-based agriculture.
In that case, what's protectionism all about? In understanding protectionism, redistribution is much more important than development. Whether tariffs and subsidies raise or lower long-run growth, in the short run they redistribute income away from consumers and exporters to import-competing firms, often by very large amounts. This should draw attention to their political significance. As Dani Rodrik (1995, p. 1470) once wrote:
Saying that trade policy exists because it serves to transfer income to favored groups is a bit like saying Sir Edmund Hillary climbed Mount Everest because he wanted to get some mountain air.
In history, protectionism has given politicians a powerful instrument to bind those "favored groups" into their projects. To Bismarck, protectionism was political: it brought together the interests of "iron and rye" to share rents and support Germany's "peaceful rise." Similar motivations lie behind most real-life experiments in protectionism that I am familiar with. The only real exception is the Soviet experience of autarkic industrialization; that was different because Stalin was an absolute dictator who ruled by fear and had no need to pay off campaign funders.
Modern promoters of the developmental state (including Dani Rodrik) could reply that they advocate only those selective interventions that are designed to improve social welfare, not corrupt the political process. That's an argument I understand, but it requires a benevolent, far-sighted government with the power to intervene and the self-restraint to do so only for the common good, not for the good of its supporters. That's a bit of a problem. I don't see a political system anywhere, short of totalitarian dictatorship, in which you could advance those policies and see them implemented without vested interests jumping on your bandwagon and hijacking it for their own purposes, which will have nothing to do with social welfare.
(It's ironic, then, that John Aziz lists "graft and corruption" as a problem of trade liberalization, because opportunities for corruption are created only where the government has something to withhold.)
The historical link between protectionism and aggressive nation building is strong. Using data for 1950 to 1992 Erik Gartzke (2007) has shown that restricting a country's trade and capital flows is a good predictor of its propensity to engage in conflict. From data for 1865 and 1914, Patrick McDonald and Kevin Sweeney (2007) have shown that protectionism was a robust precursor of engagement in "revisionist" wars.
John Aziz concludes with a warning:
China's monopoly on rare earth metals which have very many military applications may have national security implications for other nations including Britain and the United States whose ability to manufacture modern military equipment might be impeded by a trade breakdown.
Shouldn't we worry? Yes, but that's because we need to understand China, not because we should be preparing for war. Indeed, one of Mancur Olson's key conclusions was that it's a mistake to think of particular raw materials, and even oil or food, as in some way "strategic" or "essential." Only the final uses of resources are essential. In practice, if some particular material suddenly becomes scarce, the price goes up and and opportunities present themselves to economize at the margin or find alternative sources or substitutes.
The price goes up, it's true. In other words, the alternatives may be costly. But the richer you are, the more easily you can meet the cost. That's why rich countries survive trade disruption and win wars. As for protectionism, to the extent that it diverts resources from their best uses, it makes the country poorer in advance and so less able to afford the measures that might become necessary in a national emergency.
Which brings me to the last noteworthy point about the arguments that John Aziz makes: They have nothing to do with personal well being. As he correctly comments:
The relative value of outcomes is simply a matter of one's criteria.
In truth, the two fairy tales that he tells differ in addressing completely different criteria. The free-trade fairy tale always was and is about the personal welfare of all members of society. Here, society is global: when trade is free, all gain, not just the residents of one country. The protectionist fairy tale, in contrast, is about nation-building and facilitating conflict in a world where elite coalitions build states, states compete for power, and a gain for one country is a loss to others.
The world is a complicated place. In the same spirit as John Aziz when he notes that the free trade story has some merit, I'm going to accept that the unregulated interaction between real world economies sometimes creates losers. There have evidently been historical circumstances when protectionist policies accidentally did no harm, or even did good by accidentally correcting some market failure.
But the design of protectionism has generally been far more driven by vested interests and power building than by concern for social welfare. Those who enter themselves in the reckoning against free trade often rely on an idealized understanding of the record.

The Wild Bison Return...to the United Kingdom
It has been 6000 years since wild bison were found in the United Kingdom.
This is about to change. According to an article by Environment Editor Damian Carrington for The Guardian, a male and three female European bison (Bison bonasus), will be released in a forest in Kent and allowed to breed naturally to slowly repopulate the land. The bison will come from the Netherlands or Poland. It is expected that each female will produce one calf per year.
Bison are viewed as a keystone species and through their activities, it is hoped, these will change or re-make the land which in turn will encourage broader biological abundance. One of the most important changes they will make in the habitat into which they are introduced is by killing some of the trees which will create "a healthy mix of woodland, scrub and glades, boosting inset, bird and plant life."
It is fair to think of the bison as "ecosystem engineers" in this "nature-based" approach to habitat and wildlife management. One thing leads to another. Bison rub against trees, ultimately killing them, the dead wood provides habitat for insects, insects provide food for birds, and the openings created change environmental conditions allowing new plants to grow.
Carrington notes that "Once the bison are settled, the public will be able to visit the area with rangers and watch the animals from viewing platforms. In the Netherlands, where bison projects have been running for 15 years, people walk through the areas without incident. Free-living longhorn cattle, "iron age" pigs, and Exmoor ponies will also live alongside the bison and assist in restoring the woodland."
The article describes some of the details, including important links and includes three photographs: Blean Woods where they will be released and of bison on the land in Poland and Germany.
For a discussion of some of the differences between European and American bison, see here.

Q: First expierences with struct. Why is this output happening? This is my first time using structs, I can`t understand why this output is happening, can someone explain it to me and tell what I am doing wrong?
struct letters {
        const char BIG[26];
        const char SMALL[26];
};
struct letters abc = { .BIG = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", .SMALL = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" };
printf("%s", abc.BIG);

The output is:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Obviously what I want is to have the big letters in BIG and the small ones in SMALL. I tried to print abc.SMALL, it is filled correctly.
why is abc.BIG filled with both small and big letters?

A: BIG and SMALL have space for exactly 26 letters. But printf expects a char * with a '\0' at the end, which would mean the string needs space for 27 characters. As there is no space for the terminating-null the compiler doesn't put one in BIG or SMALL (even though the string constants do have one).
Therefore printf doesn't know where the string BIG ends and ends up printing SMALL as well.
Change BIG and SMALL to have space for [27] characters:
struct letters{
    const char BIG[27];
    const char SMALL[27];
};

A: You do not have a \0 to mark the end of strings because BIG and SMALL can only store 26 characters. Increase the size of BIG and SMALL like this:
const char BIG[27];
const char SMALL[27];

Since, BIG and SMALL are stored contiguously in the memory and there is nothing to tell the end of BIG and the start of SMALL, you are getting the lumped output.

"I Can't Begin to Tell You" is a popular song with music written by James V. Monaco and lyrics by Mack Gordon. The song was published in 1945.

The song was introduced by John Payne and reprised by Betty Grable in the film The Dolly Sisters. "I Can't Begin to Tell You" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1946, but lost out to "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe".

A version by Bing Crosby was the best-known recording, reaching its peak of popularity in 1945.

Hit versions
The recording by Bing Crosby (with Carmen Cavallaro on piano) was recorded on August 7, 1945 and released by Decca Records as catalog number 23457. It first reached the Billboard Best Seller chart on November 15, 1945, and lasted for 17 weeks on the chart, peaking at No. 1.
The recording by Andy Russell was released by Capitol Records as catalog number 221. It first reached the Billboard Best Seller chart on December 27, 1945, and lasted for two weeks on the chart, peaking at No. 8.
A version by Sammy Kaye and His Orchestra (vocal by Nancy Norman) also reached the Billboard charts, peaking at No. 9 in 1946.
The recording by the Harry James orchestra, with his wife Grable (as "Ruth Haag", using Grable's real first name and James' middle name) singing, was released by Columbia Records as catalog number 36867. It first reached the Billboard Best Seller chart on December 27, 1945, and lasted 3 weeks on the chart, peaking at No. 9. The flip side, "Waitin' for the Train to Come In," also charted, reaching No. 10 in its only week on the chart.

Other notable recordings
The song has also been recorded by Perry Como (1946), Steve Conway (1946) Brook Benton (1959), Jane Morgan (1959), Michael Holliday (1960) and Joni James (1960). Willie Nelson recorded a country genre version of the song for his album Without a Song (1983).

In popular culture
It was sung by Marty Robbins on his 1978 Spotlight television show sitting on stools with Eddie Rabbit and singing songs back and forth in "duet".
The song was used in the 1949 film You're My Everything when it was sung by Mack Gordon himself.

Mrs. Name Of Man, Maiden Names and Coverture
Cerys Gruffyydd March 19, 2015
Coverture is the doctrine of English law and social practice, imported to America and many Commonwealth nations, in which a female person had no legal identity. From birth a girl was covered by her father. This held as long as she was a "virgin" or "maiden", hence the surname she was given at birth, her father's name, was her "maiden name". Upon marriage a man and wife became one entity, and that entity was the man. This changeover was symbolized by the change of name. Miss Name of Father became Mrs. Name of Husband and, legally, all rights to her were signed over to her husband. In the words of Sir William Blackstone, whose "Commentaries on the Laws of England" were to form the backbone of English law, and the foundation of American law, from the time of their writing in the 1760s:
"By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in law: that is, the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or … is incorporated and consolidated into that of the husband."
The writers of the "1848 Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments" put it much more succinctly. A wife was "civilly dead."
While lived experience could be more flexible, this was not something that women could count on. If it came to a dispute, it was the letter of the law that prevailed. Since, legally, she did not exist, a married woman could not enter into contracts in her own right, bring suit or be sued, or own a business. A married woman could not own anything. Not just property, all of which, even if it came with her at marriage, belonged completely and totally to her husband, nothing at all. She did not own the clothing she wore. Any children she gave birth to belonged to her husband and were his to do with as he liked. If she were divorced the children were still the property of the husband. It was not just the "fruits of her body" which belonged to her husband, but the body, itself. The legal line was drawn at the point of death. A man was entitled to beat his wife as he saw fit, providing he did not actually kill her. Consent by the wife to sexual intercourse was a given. By definition she could not be raped. Sir Mathew Hale stated in 1736 that:
"the husband cannot be guilty of a rape committed by himself upon his lawful wife, for by their mutual matrimonial consent and contract the wife hath given up herself in this kind unto her husband which she cannot retract."
But surely those dusty 18th century words cannot be relevant today, can they? Let's walk them forward in time:
"A husband also cannot be guilty of a rape upon his wife." (1822, Archbold, A Summary of the Law Relative to Pleading and Evidence in Criminal Cases.)
"A husband cannot be guilty of rape on his wife." (1949, R v Clarke.)
In fact, most state criminal codes in the US were written to include a "marital rape exemption". Let me be crystal clear, this was specific language, written into law, which defined rape as "sexual intercourse with a woman, not your wife, by force and against her will". Legally a wife's body belonged to her husband. This is not ancient history. The first state to remove its marital rape exemption was Nebraska, in 1976. Other states followed suit, to an extent, although many still did not put marital rape on a par with "real" rape, requiring higher levels of proof, and lower levels of penalty. The last states to hold onto full marital rape exemptions were Oklahoma and North Carolina, which only let them go in 1993. Thirteen states still distinguish between marital and non-marital rape.
Allow me to make this more personal. Were it not for marital rape exemptions, I would not exist. This is not a situation which makes for a happy, healthy childhood and family life, and I was by no means alone in my generation. When people extol the value of a "traditional" family, these are the traditions they are upholding.
Marital rape laws are by no means the last vestiges of coverture. It took Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 before women could no longer legally be passed over for promotions because they were married. Women could still be excluded from juries in the US until 1975. When you hear the phrases "gender wage gap" and "rape culture" you can make connections to coverture. The shadow of coverture shows up in tax matters, employment and housing. It is the reason that when a mortgage or loan application is drafted, the husband's name is frequently listed first. It rears its head whenever a woman is confronted with the decision of whether to marry and, if so, which surname she should use. And, of course, it is there when we decide how to name our children.
Before you are tempted to criticize someone for their name choice, whether it is to change or retain a surname, it's important to understand the power and pervasiveness of the historical legacy which is woven into so many aspects of law and society. There is no ideal or consequence-free choice, and we have to work within our own complexities. The issue of names, alone, undertaken by individuals, is not enough to effect real change. And it is important to remember that women are not the only ones affected by the legacy of coverture.The very definition and nature of marriage which is so hotly debated at the moment is intimately linked to it. We need to address whatever aspects we can, from family law, to signing contracts, to gay marriage. The broadening of legal definitions of family membership and privilege can go a long way to helping to erode the inequities that seem so natural and normal a part of life that many people hardly ever see them.
There are many good resources on the topic of coverture, names, and the history of marriage law. If you are willing to go through something book length, try:
Linda K. Kerber, No Constitutional Right to Be Ladies: Women and the Obligations of Citizenship (New York: Hill and Wang, 1999).
Shorter pieces can be found by Jill Elaine Hasday,and Claudia Zaher.
RAINN is a good source on marital rape laws in practice in different states. You can also find some history and state breakdowns by Deborah C. England and Monica Steiner at CriminalDefenseLawyer.
For the complicated networks governing women's names see Elizabeth F. Emens, and Claudia Goldin and Maria Shim.

Samsung NP-Q45
By Sandra Vogel | August 29, 2007 -- 10:23 GMT (03:23 PDT) | Topic: Laptops
Editors' rating
✓Superb keyboard
✓Solid build quality
✓Integrated camera
✓Competitive price
✕No fingerprint sensor
✕No built-in 3G/HSDPA connectivity
✕10/100Mbps rather than Gigabit Ethernet
✕Only two USB 2.0 connectors
The Samsung NP-Q45 is an updated version of the Q35 which we reviewed a year ago. We liked that notebook, but a year is a long time in mobile computing, and notebook specifications have changed dramatically since then. Does the Q45 shape up as well as its predecessor?
This new model has abandoned the Q35's silver tones in favour of black throughout. The lid has the trendy shiny and reflective 'piano' black finish, which looks stunning when you take the Q45 out of its box, but quickly gets greasy from fingermarks. Fortunately Samsung provides a cleaning cloth, presumably for wiping the grease away.
Notebook manufactures often struggle to differentiate themselves on features and Samsung has duly claimed a USP: all of its new notebooks are, apparently, 'bacteria free'. This is down to a coating of silver ion powder on the keyboard and wrist rest, which is designed to prevent these components from harbouring bacteria. We were, unfortunately, unable to test this claim, but the Q45 certainly has clean lines and a pleasing look-and-feel, and didn't pass on any nasty infections during the evaluation period.
The Q45 weighs 1.86kg, which places it at the upper end of the 'ultraportable' spectrum. It has a claimed desktop footprint of 29.9cm by 21.7cm and a thickness of 2.69-3.63cm — we say 'claimed' footprint because the battery protrudes from the back of the casing making that 21.7cm closer to 23.7cm.
Build quality is generally robust and solid. The Q45 should not be too vulnerable when carried, although there's no clasp to keep the upper and lower sections of the notebook firmly together when closed. As a result, they could be prized apart by other objects in your bag if the system is not in a slip case or protected in some other way.
The screen measures 12.1in. from corner to corner and has a native resolution of 1,280 by 800 pixels. The display has Samsung's Super Bright Gloss layer, which makes it very clear and sharp — but, as ever with such systems, it's quite reflective.
Top ZDNET Reviews
Dell Latitude 11 5179
The keyboard is one of the best we've used, rivalling the legendary ThinkPad. Admittedly this somewhat subjective, but we found the keyboard's action and solid base conducive to fast touch-typing. A full-height number row is topped by a row of half-height function keys. All of the keys are black apart from the F7 and F8 keys, which are blue. When used with the Fn key, these fire up the Magic Doctor and SpeedUp Manager utilities respectively. The latter lets you control processor speed and switch to silent mode, while the former diagnoses the system and tries to fix any problems found.
The two-button touchpad includes a scroll bar on its right vertical edge, which is handy for moving through web pages or longer documents. There are two additional buttons on the right side of the keyboard area. One is the on/off switch, while the other launches the AV Station software, which allows you to access movies, music and photos stored on the computer. It may seem odd to see this on a business notebook, but mobile professionals need to relax occasionally too. Pressing its button when the notebook is powered down causes it to boot into Windows and then launch the AV Station software.
The Samsung Q45 comes in several configurations with a range of Intel Core 2 Duo processors. Our review sample had a Core 2 Duo T7100 running at 1.8GHz with 2MB of Level 2 cache. The other available configurations are T7300 (2.0GHz), T7500 (2.2GHz) and T7700 (2.4GHz). Windows Vista Business is the operating system currently available on this notebook. Our review sample had 2GB of RAM, expandable to a maximum of 4GB.
Graphics in our review sample were provided by Intel's X3100 module, which is integrated in the 965GM Express chipset and can dynamically access up to 384MB of system memory. If you need more graphics horsepower, you can specify the discrete Nvidia GeForce 8400M G processor with 128MB of dedicated video memory.
Intel's PRO/Wireless 3945ABG adapter provides the on-board (802.11a,b,g) Wi-Fi, while a Marvell Yukon adapter delivers 10/100Mbps wired Ethernet connectivity. Bluetooth (2.0+EDR) is also present.
Our review sample's hard drive was a 160GB, 5,400rpm Hitachi unit. This was divided into C and D partitions, with 10GB set aside for Samsung's built-in system recovery solution. When we switched the system on we were reminded to back up the C drive and the backup was sent to the D partition. Alternative hard drive capacities include 80GB, 100GB, 120GB and 200GB, the latter being a slower 4,200rpm drive.
On the left side of the casing is a multi-format dual-layer DVD rewriter. This side also houses a Type II PC Card slot and a FireWire (IEEE 1394) port. The Ethernet (RJ-45) connector is at the back of this side.
On the front edge are microphone and headphone connectors, along with a flash card reader for Memory Stick , SD, MMC and xD media.
The right side houses a single USB 2.0 connector, a VGA-out port and the modem (RJ-11) connector. Much of the back edge is occupied by the Li-ion battery, but the mains power connector is here alongside a second USB 2.0 port.
A 1.3 megapixel camera, which sits above the screen, can be used to capture stills or video, or for videoconferencing over Wi-Fi. The camera is fixed rather than on a swivel mount, so in order to achieve the optimum view the whole notebook has to be manoeuvred, and some angles are awkward to achieve. We prefer swivel-mounted cameras.
There's no built-in 3G/HSDPA module on the Q45, but you can always use the PC Card slot for a datacard if you need wide-area wireless connectivity on your travels.
Windows Vista's Windows Experience Index (WEI) rating is 3.4 (out of 5.9). This is determined by the lowest component score — in this case, the Graphics (desktop performance for Windows Aero) score.
Elsewhere, the Q45 performs remarkably well. The Primary hard disk (disk data transfer rate) scores 4.9, the RAM Memory (memory operations per second) scores 4.8 and the Processor (calculations per second) scores 4.8. The Gaming graphics (3D business and gaming graphics performance) score of 3.5 is not wonderful, but this should not bother many business users. Overall we found performance to be solid for mainstream business tasks, although users of graphically demanding applications may want to consider specifying the discrete Nvidia GPU.
Samsung claims 6.5 hours' life from the 6-cell battery. We consistently managed several three-hour computing sessions using W-Fi as part of the mix. We especially like Samsung's battery charge indicator, which is a standard feature on its notebooks. A button on the battery pack, when pressed, causes up to five lights to illuminate, showing how much battery charge remains. This provides a handy check when the notebook is powered down.
The Q45 is neither a top-of-the-range notebook nor the most ultrportable of sub-2kg systems. With only two USB ports, many users may need to invest in a USB hub. The Q45 also lacks a fingerprint sensor and built-in 3G/HSDPA connectivity, both of which are becoming 'must have' features for mobile professionals.
On the plus side, Smasung's excellent build quality makes this a robust notebook for frequent travellers, the keyboard is superb, and the screen is good as long as there's no light source behind you. Finally, the price is very attractive.

How can a computer be such an amazing gadget? To many people they just can't be so amazed on how computers have changed the way we live. Computers can now be found in many sizes and shapes. Almost every home appliance seems to have their own mini computer located somewhere. From cars to buildings to almost every gadget there is, most of the time each one has a computer working to make them run and change the very way we live life.
First and foremost, the most important component of the computer is its processor. It is considered the heart of the computer that does all the calculating and processing. But with all that calculating and processing, the computer won't be such a remarkable gadget if not for its amazing memory. Computer memory makes it possible to retain important information on a computer. Such data can be used again and again and retrieved when a certain stored data is needed. Without the computer memory, the processor will have no facility where to store its important calculations and processes, thereby making them useless.
There are different types of computer memory tasked to store different types of data. They also have different capabilities and specialties when it comes to storing necessary data inside the computer. The best known computer memory is the RAM, otherwise known as Random Access Memory. It is called random access because any stored data can be accessed directly if you know the exact row and column that intersect a certain memory cell. In this type of computer memory, data can be accessed in any order. RAM's exact opposite is called SAM or Serial Access Memory, which stores data in a series of memory cells that can only be accessed in order. It operates much like a cassette tape where you have to go through other memory cells before accessing the data that you are looking for.
Other types of computer memory include the ROM or Read Only Memory. ROM is an integrated circuit already programmed with specific data that cannot be modified or changed, hence the name "Read Only". There is also another type of computer memory called Virtual Memory. This type of memory is a common component in most operating systems and desktops. It helps the computers RAM to be freed up with unused applications to make way for loading current applications being used. It works simply by checking for data stored in RAM not being used recently and have it stored in the computer's hard disk, thereby freeing valuable space in RAM for loading other applications. A virtual memory will make a computer think that it has almost unlimited RAM inside it.
Another type of computer memory that has made computers process tasks faster is what is called cache memory. Cache memory works simply by having current applications, calculations and processes stored in its memory instead of directly to the main storage area. When a certain process is in need of data previously used, it first will try to access the cache memory if such data is stored there before accessing the central memory storage area. This frees up the computer from looking for the data in a larger and bigger memory storage area and makes data extraction faster. Computer memory is in a constant state of development as more and more technologies are being developed. Who knows, maybe in the near future computer memory might also be fit for human consumption.


Ronald D. Brunner is a policy scientist, and (since 1981) professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Previously, he was a tenured member of the faculty at the University of Michigan, and held research positions at Harvard, in Germany, and in the U. S. Congress. A native of Colorado, he was educated at Yale University where he received a BA in 1964 and a PhD in 1971.
His practice of policy sciences includes work with policy makers on specific problems in energy, welfare, education, and space policy, and more recently, natural resources, climate change, and international development policy. Drawing on this practice, his theoretical work in the policy sciences focuses on development of a contextual epistemology, including context-sensitive methods, and on the symbolic instruments of politics and policy. His latest book (co-authored) is Finding Common Ground: Governance and Natural Resources Policy in the American West (Yale University Press. 2002). His next book (also co-authored) is Adaptive Governance: Integrating Science, Policy, and Decision-Making (Columbia University Press, 2005).

Lionel Messi opened the scoring in the Copa Del Rey final between Barcelona and Athletic Bilboa with a typically spectacular solo goal in which he completely baffled four or five defenders along the way. He later help set up Neymar to score Barca's second goal before halftime.
Meanwhile, Dani Alves decided that this was a proper occasion to present his personal tribute to the poop emoji.
As Messi celebrated his goal, he tried his hardest to ignore the fact that Alves' hair abomination was right beside him, ruining his dramatic moment.
The match ended 3–1 after Messi scored a second in the 74th minute.


Rested and ready to go, we set off in morning south from Dongola. Once again, beautiful smooth road, this time with villages and river on our left. It seemed we have shifted from more rocky desert to more sandy desert. I also saw some collections of live camels and also a few dead ones along the road.
We had tailwinds starting out, so again smooth riding. Wee! It was easy way to reach lunch by 11am. Fortunately we also had fewer flies today.
After lunch, the road shifted and we had more mixture of winds including some head winds. It also got warm again. I saw a huge pod of camels and others had seen them cross. I've been able to post updates with mobile phone and was able to refresh at 97km and then came into our named "Dead Camel Camp" grinding out the last 40km. Fortunately, in evening more pleasant temperatures. Also nearby a small mosque that seemed to be mostly unused, though still ready for service. Also a big road grader.


The Alpha Exchange is a podcast series launched by Dean Curnutt to explore topics in financial markets, risk management and capital allocation in the alternatives industry. Our in depth discussions with highly established industry professionals seek to uncover the nuanced and complex interactions between economic, monetary, financial, regulatory and geopolitical sources of risk. We aim to learn from the perspective our guests can bring with respect to the history of financial and business cycles, promoting a better understanding among listeners as to how prior periods provide important context to present day dynamics. The "price of risk" is an important topic. Here we engage experts in their assessment of risk premium levels in the context of uncertainty. Is the level of compensation attractive? Because Central Banks have played so important a role in markets post crisis, our discussions sometimes aim to better understand the evolution of monetary policy and the degree to which the real and financial economy will be impacted. An especially important area of focus is on derivative products and how they interact with risk taking and carry dynamics. Our conversations seek to enlighten listeners, for example, as to the factors that promoted the February melt-down of the VIX complex. We do NOT ask our guests for their political opinions. We seek a better understanding of the market impact of regulatory change, election outcomes and events of geopolitical consequence. Our discussions cover markets from a macro perspective with an assessment of risk and opportunity across asset classes. Within equity markets, we may explore the relative attractiveness of sectors but will NOT discuss single stocks.
Great new contribution to the financial social community. MRA are a quality organization, and this podcast series so far is original and authentic. Many podcasts from business organizations have inherent biases, marketing lean, and skewed commentary. Dean offers the speakers a platform to express themselves without those distractions. I've been in the institutional industry a good while.
I'm a deriv PM and LOVE this pod. Nice work !


This appears on the back cover of the 1955 Young Marvelman Annual. Dunno what the kid's parents would think of a newly purchased (4 Shillings!!) book being attacked with a pair of scissors though. And I'm puzzled by the vague instructions (as there's no further info inside the book). So I can't work out how you play the game at all.
There may be a handful of readers who won't know who wrote this comic as the writer isn't credited (no doubt on his own insistence).
The original writer continued to send the Marvelman story down unexpected paths with the 9th issue and it's explicit depiction of childbirth.
PS: If you read the small print you discover that this (the October issue) shouldn't actually exist. How odd. I don't think the original writer would ever have made mistakes like that.
After more than 10 years you'd think that L. Miller & Co Ltd would know the name of one of their Super Heroes but by 1963 as sales declined there seems to have been some confusion.
The final Young Marvelman hardback Annual was issued for Xmas 1963. The title of the book now calls the character "Marvelman Junior" and yet throughout the book are "Young Marvelman" stories from the 1950s comic of the same name. And he obviously still sports his "YM" logo !!
There has already been much written on the Internet about Marvelman and The Marvelman Family (as opposed to Captain Marvel and The Marvel Family) and their 1980s revival. The adult character "Marvelman" had to cry out "Kimota" to transform himself. This Young/Junior version merely had to cry "Marvelman" to gain his powers. Tragedy would befall him many years later when he fell into the clutches of Dez Skinn and Alan Moore.
From the late 1940s until around 1966 L. Miller and son published a variety of comics in the UK. Many of them were black and white reprints of Fawcett titles from the USA. The most well remembered today are their reprints of Captain Marvel comics. Throughout the 1950s there were many others like Flash Gordon and Robin Hood.
Once National/DC had forced Fawcett to cease publishing the big red cheese, Len Miller and artist Mick Anglo decided to continue with a UK version of the superhero.With a few subtle changes of costume and identity, and a cry of "Kimota!" instead of "Shazam!" Marvelman was born.
Marvelman and the Marvelman family continued in new adventures until 1963. L. Miller and son comics folded in 1966 and their assets were aquired by Alan Class. Here is my copy of Mystic 30. Published in 1963 it seems to contain pre-code horror stories originally found in Fawcett's "This magazine is Haunted" from the early 1950s. Although the cover seems to be a UK sourced, toned-down drawing, the interior contains some gruesome fare. Whilst in the States "Horror" comics in the early 1960s had been reduced to the likes of House of Mystery and Tales to Astonish, comic buyers in the UK were still being exposed to pre comics code material.
But of course in a few years time there would be Warren's Creepy and Eerie on the spinner racks.


However, over the years, I've found how versatile and fun chocolate chip cookie dough can be as a vehicle to make other varieties of cookie.
Lactose free cookies - scoop them onto the pan and wait 15 minutes before you cook them.
Toll House Pie - make the original Tollhouse cookie dough and place in an unbaked pie shell for 55 minutes at 325 degrees.


I hope you are enjoying this blog's devolution into a chronicle of food.
In any case, I have to keep my recipes someplace, and that place turns out to be the internets. When I can't remember how I made something, I search Google for "drmomentum salt potatoes" et voilà!
Here's my recipe for lobster pie. Go heavy on the lobster meat, this recipe makes a lot of sauce. Or, add some chopped scallop pieces in there. It's your pie! And you should really try to make this at least once. It's almost as good as any lobster pie I've had, and that's on my first try. So, treat your lobster right!
I start with my lobster meat already mostly cooked. Steam them for 8-9 minutes and remove the meat. Two 2 lb lobsters probably would have been perfect for this recipe. On my first try I used lobster and scallop.
Heat sherry and lemon together. Toss in shallots and reduce by about half.
Add 4 tablespoons of the butter, cut into 4 parts. Whisk together as butter melts over medium heat.
Add lobster meat and remove from heat.
In a medium saucepan, melt remaining (8 Tbsp) butter.
Add flour and cook, stirring, until mixture bubbles. Remove from heat.
Remove the lobster meat from the sherry/butter/lemon.
Slowly stir the sherry/butter/lemon into your main saucepan of melted butter/flour. Slowly stir in the cream as well. Thoroughly blend.
Return to heat and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is smooth and thick.
Spoon 4 tablespoons of the sauce into a small bowl. Add beaten egg yolks, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring well after each addition.
Once all the egg is mixed with the 4 Tbsp of sauce, whisk egg mixture back into sauce.
Add dill and whisk over low heat about 3 minutes; do not allow to boil.
Remove from heat and add lobster.
Dump the filling into a 1-1/2 to 2 quart casserole. Something with tall sides is nice to prevent spillage.
Bake about 15 minutes to heat through.
Serve with lightly steamed asparagus. The asparagus is yummy in the pie filling.
Hey - there's nothing devolved about a food blog!!
The egg yolks and flour are a great addition that I honestly hadn't considered. They'd make a richer, more satisfying dish.
I generally avoid cheese with seafood, though - I think the taste of the cheese overwhelms the seafood. But I bet a tiny bit of parmesan is a nice enhancement.
I worried about that, too. Although in this case it didn't overwhelm, it would have been fine with less Parmesan. The original recipe had no spices, and I think the Parmesan was there to give saltiness and additional richness.
I actually skipped the butter in the crust, mainly because Ritz already has fat in it.
I was worried about the egg yolks, but the method of adding them specified above makes a successful sauce and you don't get a cooked egg mess if you are careful.
Awesome! That's be great over scallops or lobster, crab or whatever.
I made the richer sauce because I needed it to be much thicker; I wanted more of a filling.

No, that's not true. It was a big event that had Cap in it. But wasn't his story exclusively. The story in the movie was different before they changed it to fit CW. The Russos talked about the changes to it. The fan service ended up being one half of the movie being a minor squabble and the rest was chasing Bucky. It's an ok movie. But it has problems.
You are right confused it with the Winter Soldier.
Agreed. X-Men need time and development all their own.
Yes, I have seen some theories of how they are going to do this and sound very good from Rogue appearing with Cap Marvel to Xavier showing with Reed and Dr Strange as a iluminati, hope some of them are true
"The time for subtlety is passing. Now is the time for change." [New Mutants (Vol. 1) #38]
I'd like to see them reveal the celestials had discovered the mutant gene in Eternals. Then we start to see the characters pop up here and there.
Yes many X-fans are expecting a reference for mutants on the Eternals movie because the celestials are already introduced in the MCU so their intervention on earths story and their creation of the deviants, the eternals and the mutants is easy to tell. I hope they add that little silver age tibit that said there were mutants born across diferent planets, not only on earth.

This whole reverse HOM thing never made sense, from a narrative standpoint. The reason why HOM could be done in the comics was because of years of history between Wanda, Magneto and the mutants. Wanda saying ''no more mutants'' was specifically her lashing out her frustration on mutantkind because she felt Magneto's cause ruined their lives. You can't recreate that in a world where Magneto and mutants don't exist yet. It makes no sense for her to wake up one day and decide she wants to create a whole new species out of thin air. What would even be the point? What would be her motivation? What exactly would that accomplish within the story that's been established for Wanda in the MCU? Her creating a perfect pocket world where she can live with her family actually makes sense in that universe and it moves her story forward somehow. Creating mutants simply doesn't do that.
The one argument I've read that connects Wanda to the introduction of mutants in the MCU that sort of makes sense is that she does something that creates a rift in reality by the end of WandaVision, and then on Multiverse Of Madness this causes realities to merge and/or change, and one universe that might end up connected to the MCU is one where mutants exist. That I could see happening; it would be a more indirect, unintentional consequence of her actions and it wouldn't derail WandaVision, being something that could be explored in later movies/shows. And that's only assuming Eternals wasn't going to do something about mutants first, considering that movie was supposed to come out before WandaVision and Doctor Strange 2.

The second theory might make sense overall, but we know how that wouldn't be great for Wanda. But yeah, it pretty much seems like Eternals is the start of the five year plan there.
By now I have come to appreciate reaction videos for the trailer by people who are not familiar with the comics, as opposed to ones from comic book readers, of whom apparently many feel the need to "enlighten" the "uninformed people" how Wanda is most famous for going insane, bringing or erasing mutants, obviously being the villain for Doctor Strange …

I fear the day a House of M movie is made, and being in the audience. The sight of mutants falling out of the sky or suffocating on dry land is going to make a lot of casuals realize just how horrible the act was. I fear that instead of saying it was character assassination, they'll just join the witch hunt.
My only hope is if they do, that it will change from being a matter of demonic possession instead of lashing out in a fit of daddy issues, and internal racism, while gutting out the ableism and misogyny.
I could never feel that was Wanda's greatest story. Or the most well-known - to mutant fans and Wanda hater, perhaps.
In some of their earliest stories, with Magneto finding them in Europe, they clearly are subject o mutant persecution.
Regardless, her best and most well known stories should be her first defeat of Ultron, her marriage to Vision and the stuff before hand, her story where she discovered what Shield did to the Vision.
These are the stories that resonate strongest to me, and perhaps some later ones.

What I find interesting is this...while I first knew of the Twins being Mutants and like them to be, very early on with the Avengers, twice, to be exact, the Twins powers waned. It was only by going back to their Balkan Homeland that their powers returned the first time.
Although while there, there was a stranger who perfomed Diarthrythmic treatments on them (but we only see Pietro). Could that stranger without a name have been the High Evolutionary in disguise? Maybe they needed another treatment to complete his process? I remember thinking this odd for Mutants to have to go to where they grew up, but also it made the Twins more unique. And I liked that both had increased powers afterward, so I simply thought of it as a type of homesickness.
The second time, the trip to Arkon's world and back to Earth seemed to restore Wanda's powers. We never learn what restored Pietro's powers. This seems odd no matter if Mutant or Mutate.

Do you mean when Pietro began to look aged whenever he used his super speed, in the 90s? If so, it was revealed to be psychological (probably due to the dual shock of losing his twin and his wife in the same day). The same thing happened at the end of his Son of M arc, during Quick and the Dead. All he had to do was be reminded he wanted to help people, and he inexplicably was faster than ever.
One begins to think a lot of Pietro's blocks are all in his head...
But concerning the idea that they need to recharge by visiting Mount Wundagore, it is in itself an interesting idea. Maybe to them, the energies surrounding the mountain is therapeutic and healing (Wanda, mystically; Pietro, psychologically), whereas it would drive just about anyone else (like the High Evolutionary) to insanity or destruction. It adds a little more creepy, Lovecraftian vibes to their origin.
No, I mean back in the late '60's/early '70's--early Avengers--when both twins were part of the team. They both left to recharge.
Agree, some things may be in Pietro's head like the second time because when Wanda was abducted, his powers were suddenly present and he raced around the world to NYC and into Avengers Mansion where a fight broke out (of course) because they did not recognize this super-super swift surprise person. Afterall, this was the firt time we see Pietro in his silvery costume and he was quite a bit faster than when they knew him previously.
I really want the MCU quicksilver to have a cameo in WandaVision...
Reports said he ins't but i wish it is just Marvel keeping it as a secret like when Natali Portman appeared in endgame
I hope this is true! Would be a nice set. But also I still want an action figure of Wanda in her current comics costume. It just does not get enough appreciation.

Military Fire Department of the State of Rio de Janeiro Uses Hexagon Solutions to Ensure Public Safety During Olympic Games
In August and September 2016, the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, hosted the Games of the XXXI Olympiad and the XV Paralympic Games. Gathering more than 10,500 athletes and 1.4 million tourists from all around the world, these Olympic Games were the biggest event ever hosted by a Brazilian city.
Because resources were limited, the city needed to better target its investments to ensure public safety and security for athletes, dignitaries, and tourists during the games. To address these challenges, the Military Fire Department of the State of Rio de Janeiro, known by the acronym CBMERJ, required a suite of solutions for large-scale event management, situational awareness, and reporting to support its activities during the Olympic Games.
Since 2014, CBMERJ has used Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure's Intergraph Computer-Aided Dispatch (I/CAD) system for its daily operations. Throughout 2015 and 2016, CBMERJ implemented other Hexagon technologies to management and support public safety and security activities during the Olympic Games.
CBMERJ leveraged Hexagon's I/CAD system to enable call-taking and dispatch for control and monitoring of incidents. I/CAD's scalability and dynamic resource allocation was key to helping CBMERJ handle an influx of incident calls and events during the games. For overall major event planning and management, Hexagon's Intergraph Planning & Response solution allowed CBMERJ to manage organizational charts, timelines, schedules, and other resources across multiple agencies. Additional 3D mapping and GIS tools from Hexagon helped CBMERJ monitor events in real time via maps and dashboards while performing richer analysis for improved resource management.
