Stories About Urbanism, Adaptation, and Resilience
Betwixt and Between
A recent podcast discussion between architect/urban planner Douglas Farr and professional cranky old guy James Howard Kunstler presented two opposing schools of thought within the same general New Urbanist camp. Farr expects business as usual to persist for a very long time even as external circumstances force incremental adjustments. Kunstler just sees collapse. I'd like to focus on one particular example they bounced around.
If the climate is changing and sea level is rising (for the record, I have no particular opinion on the topic) there's a good chance that places like Miami will have to adapt to increasing floods. Kunstler stated that once sea water infiltrates southern Florida's porous limestone ground water it's "game over." Farr suggested that high value locations will respond with engineered fortifications and infrastructure projects to preserve existing real estate. If Florida's drinking water supply goes brackish people could return to the ancient practice of collecting rain water off roofs.
Here's a short YouTube video demonstrating how a family lives comfortably in the Arizona desert using rain water catchment to supply their needs year round in a harsh dry environment. The homes of Florida would have a much easier time adapting in this manner given the generous rainfall in the Caribbean. High rise towers? Not so much since the roof of a skyscraper is too small relative to the concentrated demand from the many floors below.
This Israeli company manufactures water generators that pull potable water out of the atmosphere using standard refrigeration equipment similar to an air conditioner or dehumidifier. When air is chilled water vapor condenses into a liquid and can be collected for household use. Put a large enough condenser on the roof of a tall building and drinking water can be supplied to each unit below. 95% of the water we all use isn't actually for drinking so lower quality water from another source could be used for flushing toilets, washing clothes, and so on. The trade off is that this equipment costs money to install and maintain and requires a substantial amount of energy (electricity, natural gas, diesel…) But compare that cost to having a building become uninhabitable due to a lack of potable water. It's also something that individual properties can do semi-independently of government infrastructure.
Here's a cheesy South African promotional video for a similar water generator designed for household use. Cape Town's recent water crisis as well as ongoing concerns (real or imagined) about municipal water quality are prompting middle class households to consider personal drinking water supply systems. These machines are available at a price point that affluent families can afford, but not people lower down the income ladder. As wealthier people adapt to stress on an individual level the urgency to fix the larger societal systems is reduced. This is nothing new in a place like South Africa or the United States.
Personally, I prefer simple, small scale, low cost, distributed, low energy solutions to whatever problem I'm trying to solve. I'm reminded of the mail order catalogues from a century ago that supplied rural homesteads with low tech equipment. Whatever might go wrong with a sheet metal windmill can be repaired with ordinary hand tools by a farmer with common sense. These systems tend to be slow, intermittent, and deliver less of what we have become used to with modern infrastructure. But they're also still operational after a hundred years of benign neglect.
Compare that to a large scale computer controlled desalination plant powered by a nuclear reactor. There are entirely too many delicate interdependent parts to such a system and they all have to work perfectly all the time in order to function properly. These systems do produce large amounts of fresh water. But it's a precarious and expensive arrangement for something so vital to life. I suspect we're going to see more of these technological responses to future challenges, but each will come with its own set of trade offs and unintended consequences.
Douglas Farr is most likely correct that society will adapt in fits and starts to the stresses of the new century wherever money and organizational talent are available. And Kunstler is also probably correct that for the wrong people in the wrong places collapse is already essentially upon them. It's an all-of-the-above situation, not an either/or.
I'm an amateur architecture buff with a passionate interest in where and how we all live and occupy the landscape, from small rural towns to skyscrapers and everything in between. I travel often, conduct interviews with people of interest, and gather photos and video of places worth talking about. The good, the bad, and the ugly - it's all fascinating to me.

Having read Mark Reisner, Cadillac Desert, and Kuntsler I can see the migration away from the west coast of the USA increasing. People are moving now due to the high cost of living within 100 miles of the Pacific. With rise in sea level and more storms there will be more movement and conflict with the Central/Willamette Valley agriculture areas. So people will look further east into hotter and drier areas.
I can see a time when the Bureau of Reclamation plan, from about 1950, to build a pipeline/canal from the Columbia river to Lake Mead might be revived. With all the conflict predicted more than 30 years ago.
Shawn Harper says:
Also, Hong Kong does a cool thing with parallel water conduits — they use untreated water to run the toilets, treated water for washing. They've been doing this since at least the 1960s.
Hong Kong has separate water lines for fresh and sea water. Sea water flushed all the toilets in the city. The fresh water is recycled for other uses. It's a great system for a tiny city-state with no hinterland. See also: Singapore. But there are problems. Hong Kong and Singapore (also Dubai et al) are value added centers that are highly dependent on import/export economies. If international trade ever breaks down (as it did during WWII) these hyper efficient centers fail immediately. Failure in that context meant starvation and rapid depopulation.
Yes, and don't forget that Florida has a LOT more H2O per cc. of air than Israel does — all year round.
No matter. Haven't any of these people every heard of PIPELINES? — California has them Florida has them to bring them Natural Gas from Oklahoma and the Louisianna.
I now see Kunstler as one of Nassim Taleb's "Intellectual-As-Idiot"s — the guy is like the Population Bomb guy who is serially wrong but never reflects — perhaps because people with the same brain imbalance keep on enjoying his thoughts.
Kunstler, when am I going to no longer be able to drive a car? October?
Curt Adams says:
Desalinated water is affordable for personal use in first-world urban areas. Miami might have to give up watering its lawns, but it could continue to exist with seawater infiltration. Armoring OTOH is not realistic on that limestone and when the floods come it will have to be abandoned. Agriculture will have to go with seawater infiltration; I don't know how much that will damage Miami's economy. My impression is that it's much more tourist driven and would survive.
So I'd say the reality in this case is in between Kunstler and Farr. That Kunstler is too alarmist is no shocker – here's an interview where he's predicting the breakdown of suburbia to start by 2015. He gets the direction of unsustainability right but he tends to be well off on the magnitude.

Having grown up in a family with fickle cars, I can't understand why anyone would want to live in a place where the only means of getting around is the automobile. The bus might not be your first choice, but it's useful to have for those times when your car is being fixed.
Just last night I was at a boardgame group with a woman who has had several falling spells recently. The urgent care doctor said she shouldn't drive but she can't realistically comply (because we are in such a place), so she's still driving around. For medical insurance reasons she hasn't gotten a thorough workup to try to determine what is the underlying cause. Hopefully whatever is wrong with her won't cause a crash, but that's a grim situation to be in.
My quite elderly stepfather was also driving around until quite recently and again, really should not have been but, again, had no choice if he wanted to have any life outside of his house. Interestingly, both these people made excuses for continuing to drive. I don't think people want to acknowledge what a trap living in a car-dependent area can easily become.
Millicently Lurking says:
So very, very true.
Armoring doesn't have to involve building sea walls (which in Miami would be useless since the water would percolate up through the limestone.) But it could include reorganizing the first couple of floors of towers as indoor/outdoor lobbies that get a bit wet during special conditions. Venice, Italy manages during acqua alta. But Venice is an extraordinary place and worth the inconvenience. Hialeah? Meh.
But if a building is close to being fully amortized and if insurance companies start to get picky with their policies, and the municipal infrastructure for sewers, electricity, and such become funky… it's more cost effective to cut and run.
Yeah — I don't fault Kunstler so much for his timing though — I fault him for his CERTAINTY.
Not only has the "End of Cheap Oil" been shown to be Just Not True (now, it's "we have to stop burning oil") — but the USA is closer to energy independence than ever — we are producing so much oil and natural gas now that we are exporting loads of both — meanwhile, the price of solar and wind are competitive with energy from just about everything as long as the price of Natural gas doesn't get too low.
I personally feel that Kunstlerism is a largely a product of the time he wrote GONW and wishful thinking.
Suburbs WERE pretty soulless in those days and had been for a while. I grew up in Kunstler's area around Albany and I knew PLENTY of older usually left-of-center type people who LOATHED bedroom suburbs (though many of them lived in 18th century farmhouses in the country and had equally long commute-times.) — they would call places like Clifton Park "Velveetaville" — and I understood, somewhat —- what I Didn't understand was the need to define these people's choices as "stupid" — if they borrowed too much money, sure, but you could do that to buy a townhouse in downtown Albany if you wanted to live in the desirable parts…
My sentiments too Johnny. Walking the walk rather than driving the Prius.
Love your posts! Very informative. Thank you.
Lathechuck says:
There are "quasi-religious" arguments, and then there are explicitly religious arguments.
Scott Pruit, several years ago, said something like "God gave us energy resources, and so we should use them to relieve the miseries of the world." As far as I can tell, it is just as likely that "Satan put coal, oil, and gas on the earth, and God buried them deep underground to protect us from them." From a religious perspective, I'll call it a draw.
Crap. I accidentally deleted a comment that was left (Errrg) as I was attempting to respond. FYI, Apple's iPad doesn't play well with WordPress.
Okay… I think the climate is changing. And I understand the science that proves humans are contributing to the changes. So why don't I have an opinion about it? Because we (as a species) aren't going to do anything about it. We're going to dig up every last sour crumb of oil, coal, and natural gas and burn it in the pursuit of economic growth. We don't have to. But we most likely will since the political cost of curtailing energy use is a recipe for revolution. That's true in the U.S. and it's true in China and India and Nigeria and Brazil… So talking about climate change is pointless.
Taking personal responsibility for your own actions is actually really hard and almost no one does it – not even the people who argue the loudest about anthropogenic climate change. "I drive a Prius" or, "I recycle" isn't going to cut it. "I just flew to five rallies to protest air travel!" We all need to change our way of life dramatically. And I just don't see people taking enough action to make a difference. So why have an opinion on the topic?
I'm more interested in organizing my life in such a way as to ride out the consequences of ongoing climate change. A big part of that includes seriously insulating my home to use radically less energy – not to "save the planet" but to protect myself from future price spikes. I live in a walkable bikable town – not to reduce my carbon footprint, but to ride out international supply chain disruptions. I tend a large productive food garden and orchard – not to be organic, but to help stock a deep pantry for economic hard times. And I've loaded up on insurance… In a very real way I'm walking the walk more than most of the people who criticize me for not "fighting climate change."
errg says:
Thanks for the reply to my (now) phantom post… I appreciate that you're doing more than the vast majority of people to give yourself and your neighbors a more resilient life, which is why I'm a huge fan of your blog (even though I don't think I've ever felt the need to respond before).
I also think that you are probably right that the most likely scenario is that we dig up and burn every molecule of fossil fuel that we can get our hands on. But, I'm actually a lot less pessimistic than I was five years ago or so, because the economic case for fossil fuels is much less compelling than it seemed at the time. Advances in solar, wind, and battery technology means that fossil fuels no longer have a huge advantage over renewable energy.
But the problem can't be solved through individual virtue. If I burn a little less carbon, then at the margin the cost is a little bit cheaper, and someone else will just burn it instead of me. The only thing that will enable a switch away from fossil fuels is regulation of some kind, which is a political question. My preference would be a carbon tax, but other methods would work as well. I think that the costs of switching are small enough that this political goal is achievable, similarly to the way the world banned CFC's in the 1980's.
So in that case, I think that no matter how virtuous someone is at an individual level, it is still important to be clear that this is a human caused problem, and can be solved with human actions. Because if we really do burn all the fossil fuel that we can get our hands on, the world is going to be a hellish place in a few centuries.
Key words: "in a few centuries."
See also, discount rate.
The fundamental problem here is that neither the "drill baby drill" folks nor the "green techno alternatives" will permit business as usual to continue forever – although everyone will try everything in the short term. And the short term will extend well beyond the rest of my life.
More extraction and burning of fossil fuels creates all sorts of funky side effects, not least the kinds of prolonged droughts, devastating floods, forest fires, famines, et cetera that disrupt entire populations, cause mass migrations, political upheavals, and war. And since it's all indirect with no immediate cause and effect there's no motivation for anyone to take action other than defend their own specific prerogatives.
Solar panels, windmills, hydro, and organic farms can run a respectable civilization – just not the one we currently have. New York, London, Shanghai, Dubai, and Melbourne can only function in their present form on a steady diet of oil, natural gas, and coal with a supplement of nuclear power. Ain't no one gonna run Houston on solar panels.
So we're going to keep on keepin' on and absorb the consequences year after year. I've made my peace with that reality. Big fun.
tonyedgecombe says:
I'm not so glum as you, a lot of the behaviours that are causing climate problems came about in a short period, I wouldn't be surprised to see them disappear quickly as well. I know there isn't much will in America right now but these things go in cycles, it will change.
Cities aren't particularly bad on a per capita basis, it's normal to live without a car, housing is smaller so needs less energy to heat/cool, the opportunities for sharing are better. It's the suburbs that will struggle.
Also it's becoming clearer that not doing anything has a huge cost, multi-nationals and the military have already figured this out. Politicians just need to catch up.
As Johnny and others have mentioned, so long as the government doesn't interfere, insurance companies will inflict sufficient pain to change behavior too.
Actually, I think Houston is far more likely to be able to be run on renewable power than those other places — less heating, abundant wind power (like Iowa), abundant solar energy.
You ain't ever gonna run NYC on solar panels!!
There's what "could" be done and then there's what is more likely to unfold. Houston "could" get all or most of it's electricity from wind, solar, etc. And the majority of the buildings could be retrofitted in all kinds of ways to reduce energy intensity. But transportation? That's currently 99% oil based. Converting to anything else for the cars, trucks, buses, trains, planes… That's just not going to happen. Could Houston change absolutely everything about how it does everything? Sure. Kinda like how Detroit "could" have changed everything before it crashed and burned. But it was easier for people to move away instead. Things can change, but they tend not to in the ways people expect.
But, first of all, Texas leads the USA (with Iowa) in wind power: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_in_Texas
Couple that with solar and a lack relative lack of need for BTUs, and you can start charging electric vehicles.
Other good places for EVs — Kansas City, Iowa, Seattle area (hydro-power)
I really don't think the car is going anywhere — it will change, yes — Ford is planning on making most everything (including pick-em-up trucks!) hybrid — and both they and GM are rolling out EVs with something resembling enthusiasm….
It all comes down to storage. If we get batteries that are (a) cheap to use and (b) made out of abundant elements such as iron (lithium won't cunt it, or lead – there's just not enough available), then it's game over for everything except solar, at least as major players. Perhaps nuclear and biofuels for shipping and air travel, respectively.
If we don't? Well, we can still maintain a technological civilisation, but it's going to be a lot more austere than we're used to, and involve more manual labour.
"The only thing that will enable a switch away from fossil fuels is regulation of some kind, which is a political question."
If it comes down to politics, it won't be solved.
Luckily, it can come down to economics, too. Coal is already dying, even without regulation, in favor of natural gas, which releases much less CO2 when burned (although methane itself is a particularly potent greenhouse gas). Unfortunately, carbon-free nuclear is also being replaced with cheaper natural gas. My hope is for a carbon tax, not individual regulations, and then let the various energy sources duke it out fairly.
I don't think we'll drill and mine until every last drop of oil and piece of coal has been extracted and burned. Even without any regulation, we'd only extract until it becomes prohibitively expensive compared to other options. Like any resource, we choose the easiest and cheapest option first. For instance, we had already been past 'peak oil' in the US until someone invented directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing, which lowered the price of shale oil enough to start pumping it. If renewables (or my personal preference, nuclear) become cheap enough, or if regulation drives up its price (perhaps through a carbon tax), we'll leave the rest of it in the ground.
You and I are on the same page. The two concepts aren't mutually exclusive. The "last sour crumbs" can be defined as the last remaining physical deposits or the last economically extractable resources. Same same.
Thanks for blogging with such clarity and objectivity. You always provide lots to ponder.
About water harvesting: From what I have seen in dry-dry-dry Far West Texas, one can indeed harvest a surprising amount of water from a roof. But to live out there requires a lot of long distance driving.
My sense about Florida is that much will depend on what insurance companies are willing to cover. And fiscal considerations, of course.
MILLICENTLY LURKING
"If the climate is changing and sea level is rising (for the record, I have no particular opinion on the topic)"
I might add if the Earth is round and people are mortal (for the record I have no particular opinion on these)…….
People on all sides of the climate change debate get fired up on the topic. Personally, I think the climate has always changed and always will. It just happens so slowly that humans don't live long enough to notice.
If you get in to the weeds about anthropogenic climate change you're inviting a quasi religious debate where folks cherry pick their facts (or the lack therof) to support their predetermined conclusions. So why bother arguing? Change will come and people will adapt. The floods and droughts will do all the heavy lifting when it comes to persuading people to act.
Amen. It will be interesting.

Het district Quedlinburg is een voormalig district in het westen van de Duitse deelstaat Saksen-Anhalt. Het district grensde aan de districten Halberstadt en de Bördekreis in het noorden. In het oosten aan Aschersleben-Staßfurt, in het zuidoosten aan het district Mansfelder Land, in het zuiden aan Sangerhausen en in het westen aan de districten Wernigerode en Nordhausen. Dit laatste district ligt in de deelstaat Thüringen.

Geografie
In het zuidelijk deel van het district Quedlinburg ligt een deel van het Harzgebergte. In het noordwesten stroomt de Bode door het district.

Geschiedenis
Het district werd in 1950 samengevoegd met het district Ballenstedt. In 1994 gebeurde dit nogmaals, nu door toevoeging van gedeelten van het district Aschersleben.

Bij de districtsherindeling van 2007 is het district Quedlinburg samengevoegd met de districten Halberstadt en Wernigerode, alsook de stad Falkenstein/Harz van het district Aschersleben-Staßfurt. Sinds 1 juli van dat jaar gaat dit nieuwe district onder de naam Landkreis Harz door het leven. Over deze vernoeming naar het gebied de Harz ontstond enige beroering onder districten in het Nedersaksische deel van de Harz omdat het nieuwe district slechts een klein deel van de gehele Harz omvat en bovendien voor een groot deel ook buiten dit gebied ligt.

Enfants de la Patrie
In La Cérémonie, Claude Chabrol revamps The Maids.
By Dave Kehr
Dec 18, 19963:30 AM
Directed by Claude Chabrol
MK2 Productions/Prokino Filmproduktion
Distributed by New Yorker Films
Movies are such a powerfully manipulative medium that even the lowliest of hack directors has no trouble simulating warmth–all you need is a close-up of imploring eyes, a yellow-gold filter capped over the lens, and a string score soaring in the background. Detachment, on the other hand, is infinitely more difficult to pull off, and only a handful of directors have really managed to do so. Douglas Sirk did it, with his chilly subversion of Hollywood melodramas in the 1950s; so did Stanley Kubrick, with his lofty, lunar satires; and then there's the French master Claude Chabrol, with the domestic thrillers poised delicately between comedy and horror he's been turning out steadily since 1958.
Chabrol's filmography now includes some 50 titles, a high number for a filmmaker in the post-studio era. His output has been earned at a cost; it is reportedly a point of pride for him never to turn down a script he's offered, an ethic he inherited from the Hollywood directors he admired when he wrote for Cahiers du Cinéma. As a result of this catholicism, his work in recent years has wobbled between the high of 1992's Betty, a perverse study in female friendship based on a Georges Simenon story, and the campy low of 1990's Jours Tranquils a Clichy (Quiet Days in Clichy), featuring a hilariously miscast Andrew McCarthy as Henry Miller. Not since his extraordinary films of the late 1960s and early 1970s–La Femme Infidèle (Unfaithful Wife, 1969), Le Boucher (The Butcher, 1970), Les Noces rouges (Wedding in Blood, 1973)–has Chabrol created anything as blackly comic, mercurial, and meticulously wrought as La Cérémonie, which opened in Paris last year and has finally arrived in the United States by way of New Yorker Films.
The title of the film refers to the affectionate French nickname for the ritual surrounding the guillotine, a reference that takes on a double edge in the course of the film. The movie itself combines a buttoned-down British suspense novel by Ruth Rendell, A Judgement in Stone, with elements borrowed from Jean Genet's notoriously anarchic The Maids. The story vibrates between repression and release, devoting as much affectionate attention to the principles of social order–which Chabrol designates, in sequence, as television, the family, and the French postal service–as to the two marginal, possibly murderous young women who embody the inevitability of social revolt.
One of those women, Sophie, is played with a saintly gravity by Sandrine Bonnaire; she's a housekeeper who arrives at the handsome country house of the Lelièvre family with a letter of recommendation and no apparent past. Madame Lelièvre (Jacqueline Bisset, speaking an American-inflected French), a former model turned trophy wife, quickly comes to dote on her new find, though her prim husband (Jean-Pierre Cassel), the owner of a family fish-packing concern, is put off by Sophie's standoffishness, as are the younger members of the household. Twenty-year-old Mélinda (Virginie Ledoyen, in a role filmed just before her breakthrough in ASingle Girl) tries to befriend Sophie but is rebuffed, as is the teen-age Gilles (Valentin Merlet).
Sophie fulfills her chores with dedication if not joy, returning as often as possible to the comfort of the large-screen television the Lelièvres (the name means "hare" in French, a joke Chabrol develops later on) have thoughtfully installed in her room. At the heart of her shyness lie secrets, the most threatening of which is her inability to read. Sophie lives in horror that her employers will discover that she is illiterate–a note of instruction is a major crisis, a shopping list an apocalypse. All Sophie can do is struggle to sound out every letter, matching the marks on the page to an ancient phonetics textbook.
W hen Sophie comes across Jeanne (Isabelle Huppert) at the local supermarket, they bond instantaneously. Jeanne advises her on which kind of cheap chocolate to buy, one vice (though not the only) that they have in common. Sophie's discomfort with words is balanced by Jeanne's burbling verbosity–she can neither keep quiet nor stop herself from steaming open the more interesting pieces of mail that pass through her hands in her capacity as the village postmistress. Among these are letters destined for the Lelièvre household; Jeanne has discovered that the first Madame Lelièvre committed suicide, and that the present one is fleeing a notorious past in Paris.
Chabrol gave Huppert one of her great early roles in his 1978 Violette Nozière, in which she played a dutiful daughter of the middle class who poisons her father and mother. She was an opportunistic wartime abortionist in Chabrol's 1988 Une Affairde femmes (Story ofWomen) and (less effectively) the title character in an academic adaptation of Madame Bovary in 1991. In La Cérémonie, Chabrol once again casts her as a conscienceless, almost feral creature, hotblooded this time rather than cold, with an impulsiveness that is the opposite of her usual actressy style. Allowed the one touch of color in the barren, rocky landscape (a red hat she'll occasionally match with a turtleneck sweater), Huppert is the source of the film's energy and suspense.
In storytelling terms, Chabrol doesn't do much in this film beyond setting his characters out and observing them, comparing, for example, their tastes in television (Jeanne and Sophie like variety shows; the Lelièvres like cultural programming, including, at one point, Chabrol's own Les Nocesrouges, which they seem to find irritating) and cuisine (dinner at the big house is an affair of silverware and porcelain; Jeanne gathers wild mushrooms in her skirt and fries them in a pan). But, while little happens on the surface, a deep division is being established–hard though it is to see where it leads. This much we know: Something awful happened to Jeanne's little daughter, something just as bad occurred to Sophie's father, and in neither case could the police prove anything.
Chabrol has amused himself in interviews by describing La Cérémonie as "the last Marxist film," and so it would be if it actually took a stand. But Chabrol is too clever for that; instead, he carefully maps out the power relationships on both sides of the class division. A quietly brilliant opening sequence describes the standoff between Madame Lelièvre, with her social and economic clout, and Sophie, with the sheer force of her eccentricity: First, there's a shot of Sophie darting around through a village square, looking for someone or something; then, a passing truck bounces back a reflection that reveals we are sharing Madame Lelièvre's sinister point of view, as she watches Sophie through the window of a café in which they are about to meet.
T he scene belongs to the bourgeois matron until Sophie enters and her anxious energy takes over the camera. The women's negotiation proceeds through a series of alternating shots that grow ever tighter and more intense; for a moment, the two seem equally matched. But then Chabrol hands the scene to Sophie, granting her mastery over the situation (she knows she has the job, but wants her terms) by way of mastery over the table and the objects on it (tea service, ashtray, letter of recommendation). Where Madame Lelièvre's power belongs to the wider world, Sophie's resides here, on the table top, in the mess and clutter of domesticity.
For Chabrol, the possibility of passion makes middle class life bearable, but the repression of passion makes it possible. Chabrol's great films of the 1960s work through this paradox by way of extreme contrasts between bourgeois security and primal violence. In La FemmeInfidèle, a man impulsively murders his wife's lover and saves his snug marriage, which suggests that violence is essential to the defense of domestic life; in Le Boucher, a refined village schoolteacher allows the thuggish local butcher to carry on with his secret life as a serial killer, which suggests that violence offers the only real escape from a claustrophobic domesticity. In LaCérémonie, it's difficult to say where the violence of domesticity leaves off and the violence done to it begins.
The Lelièvre household turns out to be a tangle of incestuous desires and destructive impulses held barely–if effectively–in check (Monsieur Lelièvre keeps a rack of carefully oiled shotguns in the spare room). Meanwhile, Jeanne and Sophie cement their alliance while collecting used clothing for the needy of the parish, an act of charity they turn into class warfare. Sorting the clothes donated by one pious lady of the parish, the two throw most of them back in the woman's face–rags like these aren't good enough for the poor. In the France of the 1990s, the only images of social stability, the only instruction on how to live, come from television, the church and the state having long since lost their authority. This is a society no longer capable of sweeping revolution, but only of localized twitches and spasms; moments of anarchic self-destruction open up and are quickly closed over. The film's final, appalling act of violence is immediately neutralized by a network of banal coincidences, in which Chabrol pretends to see the hand of God working through the clownish local priest. This is not a majestic divine order asserting itself, but merely an ordinary tidiness, as if God, too, had the instincts of a good housekeeper.
Chabrol's irony has nothing to do with the sarcasm that too often passes under that name in the movies (as in, for example, films by the Coen brothers, with their cardboard characters held up for easy ridicule). Instead of passing judgment, Chabrol suspends it by making tiny calibrations in the point of view, by introducing contrasts and parallels that invite the viewer to stand back and reconsider. For this master player, irony is a game of inches, and seldom has his game been as sharp and true as in this amazing late-career comeback.

Q: How to calculate day light saving time using R I want to calculate the daylight saving time beginning date for each year from 2003
through 2021 and keep only the days that are 60 days before and after the daylight saving time begin date each
year.
I.e date will change each year (falls on a Sunday) and moved from happening in April 2003-2006 to happening in March during the years 2007-2021.
I need to create a running variable days that measures the distance from the daylight saving time begin date for each year with
days=0 on the first day of daylight saving time.
Here's dataset
year    month   day propertycrimes  violentcrimes
2003      1      1     94                  34
2004      1      1     60                  46
2005      1      1     106                 41
2006      1      1     87                  40
2007      1      1     72                  36
2008      1      1     43                  50
2009      1      1     35                  32
2010      1      1     32                  50
2011      1      1     29                  45
2012      1      1     32                  45

Here's my code so far
library(readr)
dailycrimedataRD <- read_csv("dailycrimedataRD.csv")
View(dailycrimedataRD)
days <- .POSIXct(month, tz="GMT")

A: I would use this answer following @jlhoward kindly suggestion and making some arrangements for further convenience:
library(lubridate)

get_dst2 <- function(y = 2019, tz = "CET"){
 start <- paste0(y, '-01-01')
 end <- paste0(y, '-12-31')
 d1 <- seq(
      as.POSIXct(start, tz = tz),
      as.POSIXct(end, tz =tz),
      by = "hour")
 data.frame(
       year = y,
       spring_shift = range(d1[lubridate::dst(d1)])[1],
       autumn_shift = range(d1[lubridate::dst(d1)])[2],
       stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
}

Note that the get_dst2() generates a date sequence for each requested year with hourly resolution which may take quite a while. That is why a solution with merge() is beneficial.
Let's generate a data frame for the whole years range
dls_shifts_df <- do.call(rbind, lapply(X = 2003:2021, get_dst2))

And just merge this data frame with the original data:
data <- read.table(text =
"year    month   day propertycrimes  violentcrimes
2003      1      1     94                  34
2004      1      1     60                  46
2005      1      1     106                 41
2006      1      1     87                  40
2007      1      1     72                  36
2008      1      1     43                  50
2009      1      1     35                  32
2010      1      1     32                  50
2011      1      1     29                  45
2012      1      1     32                  45",
     header = TRUE, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

res_ds <- merge(data, dls_shifts_df)

Finally, we have to parse the original data into a proper data-time format, calculate distance to spring and autumn time shifts and make a proper subsetting (an 85-days threshold is used instead of 60 days according to data availability in the data sample):
res_ds[, "date"] <- parse_date_time(
    paste(res_ds$year, res_ds$month, res_ds$day, sep = "-"),
    "ymd",
    tz = "CET")
res_ds$dist_to_spr_shift <- res_ds$date - res_ds$spring_shift
res_ds$dist_to_aut_shift <- res_ds$date - res_ds$autumn_shift
# we are interested in a shift closest to the current date
res_ds$days_to_shift <- apply(cbind(abs(res_ds$dist_to_spr_shift), abs(res_ds$dist_to_aut_shift)), 1, FUN = min)
res_ds[res_ds$days_to_shift <= 85, ]

NB A small performance test shows why the merge approach seems to be preferable as compared with a direct column addition with results of the get_dst() function call:
ds_tau_compar <- microbenchmark::microbenchmark(
 merge = merge(data, dls_shifts_df),
 add_column = lapply(FUN = function(Z) get_dst(Z)[1], X = data$year),
 times = 1000L
)
ggplot2::autoplot(ds_tau_compar)

Our view: Erie police tapping data against crime
The issue: Specialized police patrols
Our view: New methods paying off
One impediment to Erie's progress on a variety of fronts over the years was a tendency to keep doing things in much the same way because that's the way they'd always been done.
The path of least resistance might be the easiest way to get things done. But it rarely produces optimal results.
Specialized Erie police patrols undertaken this spring and continuing this summer offer another example of how Erie's breaking out of that mold. In this case, it stems not just from a change of focus in how the Erie Bureau of Police fights crime, particularly gun violence, but also the follow-through in sustaining and adapting the new strategies.
As reporter Tim Hahn detailed this week, Erie police are deploying specialized patrols, armed with crime data and paid for with grant money, to target places and times in the city that violent crime, particularly gun-related, has occurred previously. The goals are to deter crime in hot spots, identify and charge perpetrators, and get guns off the streets.
The patrols are carried out by uniformed and plainclothes officers working overtime to supplement regular police patrols. Their overtime pay is being covered by a grant from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.
If data is driving Erie police's work to curb gun violence, it also reflects that progress is being made. Sgt. Pete Mitchell, the police bureau's criminal intelligence and analysis officer, reports that shootings and incidences of shots fired are declining from 2018 levels and gun seizures are up.
When they assumed their current posts, Mayor Joe Schember and Police Chief Dan Spizarny pledged to make the city a full partner in the countywide Unified Erie anti-crime initiative. The specialty patrols are among the evidence that they're delivering on that promise.
The patrols are also part of the flip side to another Unified Erie strategy. Police prosecutors, pastors and social service providers, among others, since 2017 have periodically conducted "call-ins," in which people known to be connected to violence are offered immediate assistance in turning away from crime.
That's the carrot. The stick comes when attendees are warned that if they persist in criminal conduct, they will get the full attention of law enforcement. Spizarny said hot-spot patrols are part of backing up that warning.
"We've been putting the money where our mouth is," Spizarny said.
The grant providing that money was set to expire at the end of June, but the city has applied for an extension. The city is also seeking a federal grant that, if approved, could help fund the patrols through 2020.
The grant makers should like what they see — proven, data-driven strategies that are getting results. That's the real bottom line here.

The people interviewed for the study said that increased public support is important for lung cancer survivors. It is also important for doctors and other medical and public health professionals to better understand the needs of people who have lived with lung cancer.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death and the second most common non-skin cancer among both men and women in the United States. A big challenge for many lung cancer survivors is feeling that other people blame them for getting the disease. Some people assume that lung cancer is always caused by smoking, even though lung cancer has other possible causes.
People with lung cancer who used to or still smoke often feel that others see their smoking as a weakness, and that the smoker should have stopped sooner or never started. Some lung cancer survivors may also blame themselves and feel guilty about smoking.
For this study, the authors asked 21 people who had survived with the disease for at least six months questions about their feelings about having lung cancer.
Because so many people die of lung cancer, some people who have the disease are surprised if they live a long time after being told they have it. Sometimes their friends and family expected them to die, too, so it seems strange to still see them alive. The person who survives lung cancer may feel cut off from others, like they no longer fit in.

Q: Find and install man file manually I seem to be missing some man pages, notably gcc and g++. It doesn't help that I specify the section. whereis doesn't list man pages for those two, so I think they are simply not there.
With Google I get a lot, for example: http://linux.die.net/man/1/g++ (seems to be ordinary HTML though... or is it man page markup?)
I thought this would be a good opportunity to learn how to replace them manually. I guess I'm looking for a gcc.1.gz file?
Do I get it from GNU, from Debian, or could it be automated somehow? How much work is put into those files - if I get one, is it likely to be 99% correct or do they really differ a lot with time/architecture?

A: Many GNU projects, including GCC, license their documentation under the GNU Free Documentation License. There is a long-standing dispute between the Free Software Foundation and the Debian project, which considers the GFDL to be non-free, mostly because it can forbid some sections of the documentation from being modified.
For this reason, the GCC documentation is not included in the Debian distribution itself. It is, however, distributed by the Debian project as part of the "non-free" repository. That the non-free repository is officially supported by Debian but not officially part of Debian is the result of much debate and compromise inside the Debian project.
You can search on the Debian website for a package containing the file g++.1 (select "packages that contain files whose names contain the keyword", because the man page is actually compressed so the file name is g++.1.gz). You'll find it in the gcc-VERSION-doc package, which is a meta-package in the contrib repository that depends on the gcc-VERSION-doc package in the non-free repository.
On your machine, make sure that you have the contrib and non-free repositories enabled. Your /etc/apt/sources.list should contain a line like
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze main non-free contrib

or multiple lines like
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze main
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze contrib
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze non-free

If you modify /etc/apt/sources.list, run apt-get update as root afterwards. Once you have these repositories in your sources, you can use apt-file to search for the package containing a file by name. You need to run apt-file update as root after installing the program or modifying the sources list.
apt-file search g++.1

Once you find what package the file you want is in (as indicated above, you want the g++-doc package), use apt-get install g++-doc or whatever your favorite package manager is.

A: You should add the non-free and contrib  repositories to your sources list and run apt-get update afterwards.
Now you can install the gcc-doc package which contains the man-pages with:
apt-get install gcc-doc

The problem is that the gcc documentation is released under the GNU Free Documentation License which is considered non-free by Debian.

A: You might want to install manpages for development, as:
$ apt-get install manpages-dev


NEW ORLEANS, July 1, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC)-built amphibious transport dock ship Green Bay (LPD 20) successfully completed builder's trials last week, a collaborative effort between the company's Shipbuilding sector and the U.S. Navy.
"This ship performed well and our shipbuilders deserve credit for a job well done," said Irwin F. Edenzon, vice president and general manager of Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding, Gulf Coast. "The Navy and Marine Corps will soon be getting another great asset when this ship enters the fleet."
Rigorous testing was performed on the ship's main propulsion, communications, steering, navigational, radar and other systems. Other exercises included anchor handling, flight operations, compartment air balancing and ballasting/de-ballasting of the well deck, where amphibious landing craft will be launched.
"This was a very successful trial," said U.S. Navy Capt. Beth Dexter, supervisor of shipbuilding, Gulf Coast. "The LPD 20 team can be rightfully proud of this ship. Thank you for all your hard work. The many hours away from home and family show your devotion to making this trial a success."
"I am extremely proud of the entire Navy and industry team who put forth such a significant effort in the construction and testing of Green Bay," said Bob Merchent, vice president of Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding, New Orleans operations. "Our team produced and put to sea the most complete and tested LPD-class ship for builders trials of any of her class. Well done to all who had a hand in building Green Bay."
"This has been a great week for Northrop Grumman, the Navy and the city of Green Bay," said U.S. Navy Cmdr. Joseph Olsen, LPD 20's prospective commanding officer. "The crew is excited, and they are equally proud of the great ship built by Northrop Grumman and the city she is named after. In the near future, we will continue to bring this great warship to life, and prepare to sail her into harm's way. The cornerstone of our success in combat will be the quality of the ship built by Northrop Grumman."
Later this month, the U.S. Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey team will conduct acceptance trials aboard LPD 20, which will involve more rounds of extensive testing of the ship's major systems. Green Bay's mission is to embark, transport and land elements of a landing force in a variety of expeditionary and special operations missions.
Green Bay is an LPD 17-class ship. The ship is 208.4 meters (684 feet) long, 31.9 meters (105 feet) wide, and will replace the functions of the LPD 4, LSD 36, LKA 113, and LST 1179 classes of amphibious ships. This new ship class affords the Navy's Expeditionary Strike Group with the technology and flexibility to launch and recover amphibious landing craft such as the Landing Craft Air Cushion, operate an array of rotary-wing aircraft, as well as carry and launch the U.S. Marine Corps' Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle.

If You Want Blood You've Got it is the first live album by AC/DC, published between October and November 1978. The album was released six months after Powerage. It was recorded during the 1978 Powerage tour and contains songs from T.N.T., Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Let There Be Rock, and Powerage. It is the last Bon Scott-era AC/DC album produced by Harry Vanda and George Young. AC/DC'S gig at the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow, Scotland on 30 April 1978 was used for the live tracks that appeared on the album.
A song with the same title of "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)" appeared on the next Highway to Hell. The song "Dog Eat Dog" performed on the night was (sadly) removed from the album release, and the encore "Fling Thing/Rocker", was edited for the album, removing Fling Thing and cutting out the extended Angus guitar solo. This part of the entire Glasgow concert was filmed but the complete footage has never been released. Eventually, "Riff Raff" and "Fling Thing/Rocker" segments were made available on the AC/DC Family Jewels DVD.

Dreaming of a Book Deal? Make it a Reality!
What if an attorney could write a marketable non-fiction book in 60 days, get a book deal, become a media darling, and be on the lucrative speaking circuit in less than a year while their new client inflow team manages the heavy increase in prospective clients?
Gerry Spence, Gloria Allred, and a handful of lesser-known but as-successful lawyers are thriving as lawyer-authors because they understand how to painlessly win author status and leverage the results for big returns. Almost any attorney with a bit of experience can join this elite group if they know the rules and realities of authorship and publishing.
Why write a book? Americans have a love affair with authors; we elevate them to a higher social level and grant them instant expert status. In a crowded profession where it's hard to stand out, a book is the ultimate differentiator and qualifier.
If there's any doubt, the next time you are competing for a corporate client against a Harvard JD, Yale LLM, Princeton JD MBA team just drop a copy of your new book on the prospect's desk as you leave the meeting. The client is yours and will be telling their significant other about the cool author they met and a country club invitation will follow with your retainer check.
Everyone wants the lawyer "Who wrote the book" but there are other benefits beyond simply winning the best clients. There are some 50,000-plus paid speaking engagements in the U.S. each year and many people competing for the $5,000 to $20,000 checks that go to keynote presenters. Who wins these income-generating and practice-building opportunities? Authors, every time.
Want to be an expert on CNN? Comment on legal or business issues for MSNBC? A hot book qualifies you as a media expert too and can geneerate a bounty of morning show invitations, which in turn generate more clients, speaking opportunities ... and the upward career cycle continues. Authors, with a strategically planned book, attract the media spotlight.
MAGGIE JESSUP heads Platform Strategy, a publicity and branding boutique that works with attorneys and other professionals to expand their visibility, recognition, and income. Her Web site is www.platformstrategy.com.
No time? The number one reason lawyers don't write their book is they are too busy, or at least that is what they believe. And who wouldn't be hesitant to face a blank screen requiring months and months of effort to turn out a 60,000 word manuscript? So, how do America's busiest and best known attorneys whip out book after book? There are two secrets to writing a book quickly.
First, the would-be author must recognize that popular non-fiction is not written in the same style or format as their law review article. Non-fiction best sellers are readable and understandable, and the author must accept that informative can also be entertaining. A book isn't a dissertation and doesn't require the same detail or obsessiveness.
Second, best-selling authors use a technique to turn out manuscripts almost overnight. Once you pick a general topic for your book, make a list of 10 or 12 subjects related to the topic that you could talk about for seven to 10 minutes. Sit down with a digital recorder and talk about one topic for that amount of time. Have someone transcribe the session and you have a draft chapter. Do this 11 more times and you have a rough draft for a book. It's fast, it's easy and reviewers will say your writing style is conversational rather than lawspeak.
What's your topic? If you want to get published and maximize the practice building benefits of your new author status, you must select your topic strategically, but lawyers as a breed are simply unable to do this well. It's understandable, but not helpful, that they are still in the law review mindset and want an in depth and complete volume summarizing the specialty area they spend 80-hour weeks perfecting.
You may be an expert on valuing privately held companies or a master of discovery in complex litigation but a book about either subject will sell less than 1,000 copies. It may impress a few colleagues or possibly your mother but you won't be on "Good Morning America" or even a local radio show.
How do I get a book deal? The methods of getting your book into print run the gamut from self-publishing to large publishers like Random House and about six other mega f rms. While both extremes have some merits, neither is best for building your professional brand. Here's why: Self published books, either because of design or production quality, rarely have the professional look that will label you as a legitimate author. Self-published books rarely get reviewed and book stores or libraries only buy from the biggest distributors, Ingram or Baker & Taylor, and these wholesalers do not deal with self-published authors or small presses. So, when people who hear you on the radio go to a bookstore to buy or order, your book isn't there and credibility fails.
At the other end of the spectrum the big publishing houses take eons to get a book from manuscript to the bookstores; typically about 18 months unless the subject is some hot celebrity scandal. Their marketing philosophy is to put out a couple of hundred titles, support only the five or six proven authors with publicity and tours, then wait to see if any of the others happen to make it.
Your best bet is a publisher that is big enough to have the distributor/wholesaler relationships but small enough to care about your work. The tough reality at this point is how to get their attention because they receive thousands of unsolicited manuscripts and queries. The way it really works is your agent, your in-the-business cousin, or your publicist or branding person calls an insider they know and you get a book deal while the unread manuscripts are literally trucked away.
Lawyers will invest three years and substantial monies earning the right to have JD after their name but only a few will continue on to win an equally valuable differentiator for their business card: "Author of..." No matter the specialty, family law, antitrust, corporate, environmental, criminal, trusts, personal injury, or immigration there is a broad interest story waiting to be told.
Who will be the storyteller and reap the practice-building benefits? Any lawyer can join America's author elite; it might as well be you.

Bernard Lorentz (1774-1865) est un forestier français, premier directeur de l'école des Eaux et Forêts de Nancy. Puisant ses sources au sein de l'école forestière allemande de la fin du , il est considéré comme l'un des père de la sylviculture moderne française .

Biographie

Jeunesse en Alsace (1774-1797)
Marie Jean Georges Bernard Lorentz, né le 25 juin 1774 à Colmar (Haut-Rhin) est le fils de François Meinrad Rémy Lorentz (1744-1813), avocat, et de  Marie Anne Reichstetter (1746-1826).

La famille du jeune Bernard Lorentz œuvrait principalement dans la médecine, sauf son père qui fit une carrière dans la justice. En effet son grand-père Adam Lorentz (1708-1766) était médecin auprès de Frédéric de Deux-Ponts-Birkenfeld, seigneur de Ribeauvillé, ses oncles Joseph-Adam Lorentz (1734-1801) et  Bernard Lorentz (1740-1820) furent médecins en chef dans l'armée en Allemagne et en Italie. Son père commença comme bailli en Haute-Alsace, en 1766 il fut avocat au conseil souverain d'Alsace puis après la Révolution, employé à l'hôpital militaire ambulant installé à Ribeauvillé et termina sa carrière comme juge de paix du canton de Ribeauvillé. Sa mère était la fille d'un avocat de Colmar. Bernard appartenait à une fratrie de 2 garçons et 4 filles dont il devint l'aîné.

Il fit de bonnes études dans le collège de sa ville natale, et en sortit à 16 ans en 1790. Fils unique par la mort prématuré de son frère Ignace, il passa quatre années sans occupation déterminée, et fit son service militaire de 1795 à 1797 dans les bureaux de l'hôpital militaire de Strasbourg.

Heureuse découverte fortuite du métier de forestier en Allemagne (1798-1806)
Curieusement ce sont les guerres napoléoniennes qui vont conduire Lorentz vers l'Allemagne et le métier de forestier. En effet alors qu'il était libre et sans travail à Strasbourg en 1798, le jeune Lorentz obtint un emploi inattendu par l'intermédiaire d'un habitant de cette ville. Ce dernier faisait partie de la suite de Joseph Lakanal, député conventionnel, envoyé comme commissaire à Mayence pour organiser les nouveaux départements germaniques réunis à la France. Le jeune Lorentz épris d'une demoiselle convoitée également par ce Strasbourgeois, fut éloigné par l'attribution d'un poste de secrétaire de M. Bernier, inspecteur général des forêts du nouveau département de Mont-Tonnerre en poste à Mayence.

Très intéressé par la foresterie, d'autant que l'inspecteur Bernier peu travailleur s'en remettait volontiers à son secrétaire dans ce domaine, Lorentz souhaita approfondir ses connaissances par un poste sur le terrain. Ainsi il obtint d'être nommé en mai 1799, sous-inspecteur des forêts de l'arrondissement de Mayence et s'établit à Kircheimpoland, petit bourg situé au pied du mont Tonnerre. Grâce à un certain Drœsler, chef de cantonnement de Kircheimpoland, placé sous ses ordres, il apprit le métier et fut associé au mouvement scientifique forestier en pleine effervescence à ce moment-là en Allemagne : Georg Ludwig  Hartig (1764-1837) venait, en 1795, de faire paraître son traité d'aménagement et Heinrich Cotta (1763-1844) préparait le sien pour une publication en 1804.

À la suite suppression de la sous-inspection de Mayence effective en 1801, il fut envoyé en juin 1803, en tant qu'administrateur des forêts dans l'électorat de Hanovre, récemment passé sous domination française, pour organiser le service forestier. Là, il se lia avec des forestiers de valeur tels le forestier français Jacques-Joseph Baudrillart, les inspecteurs français des forêts Zœpffel et Kolb, futurs conservateurs à Colmar et Strasbourg ainsi que le forestier allemand Schulz, futur administrateur des forêts en Allemagne. Il explora tout le Hanovre et poussa au nord hors de sa circonscription jusqu'à Lübeck. Malgré les conflits entre puissances française et allemande, les forestiers des deux pays, se montrèrent confraternels, guidés par l'intérêt supérieur de la conservation des forêts.

À son retour à Mayence,  un poste de sous-inspecteur l'attendait depuis février 1804 à Bonn dans le département du Rhin-et-Moselle. Cependant, le conservateur des forêts de Mayence, Brunel, qui appréciait beaucoup les qualités forestières du jeune Lorentz fit en sorte qu'il soit nommé auprès de lui, sous-inspecteur en résidence à Spire.

Cependant désireux de se rapprocher de sa famille et de son pays natal,  il obtint en août 1806 l'autorisation de permuter avec le titulaire de la sous-inspection de Sainte-Marie aux-Mines dans le Haut-Rhin et prit résidence dans une commune voisine à Ribeauvillé où habitait sa famille.

Ainsi, le jeune Lorentz aura passé huit ans et demi en Allemagne (de début 1798 à août 1806 soit de l'âge de 23 à 31 ans) et ces années lui ont donné un fonds d'expérience et des principes qui lui assurèrent durant plusieurs décennies une certaine supériorité parmi les forestiers de son pays.

Retour en France (1806-1824)
Il se marie en 1809 à Strasbourg avec Caroline Kleinmann (1786-1836), fille d'un conseiller à la préfecture de Strasbourg. Le couple aura huit enfants (4 garçons et 4 filles) dont Adolphe (1817-1893) qui fera une carrière dans les Eaux et forêts comme son père. Une de ses filles, Augusta Camille (1813-1893) se mariera en 1831 à Paris avec Adolphe Parade (1802-1864), l'ami et le fils spirituel de Bernard Lorentz, qui prendra la direction de l'école des Eaux et Forêts de Nancy en 1838.

Son vaste cantonnement de Sainte-Marie aux-Mines s'étendait de la vallée de Sainte-Marie-aux Mines jusqu'à celle de Guebwiller, et comprenait des sapinières-hêtraies mal entretenues sur lesquelles il mit en application les pratiques allemandes notamment celle du réensemencement naturel.

En 1814, après 16 années de service, il obtient de l'avancement comme inspecteur adjoint auprès de M. du Theil, inspecteur de Wissembourg. Quelques mois plus tard avec les combats de la fin des Cent-Jours, sa région subit l'invasion des alliés opposés à Napoléon . Ses actes de bravoure, à la tête d'un détachement de gardes forestiers et de douaniers, lui valurent l'éloge du général Rapp.

À Wissenbourg où cette fois ses forêts étaient composées de futaie de chênes, hêtres et pins, il effectue avec succès des coupes d'ensemencement et des semis de pin sylvestre sur des parcelles ruinées par des exploitations « à tire et aire ».

En mai 1817, l'administration des forêts fusionna avec celle des finances, ce qui provoqua la disparition de nombreuses conservations. Le directeur général des deux services réunis, M. Barrairon, supprima la fonction d'inspecteur adjoint, ce qui eut pour conséquence pour Lorentz de se voir rétrogradé à la fonction de sous-inspecteur, et d'être muté à Pontarlier. Dans ces riches sapinière du Doubs, sous-exploitées par de timides coupes de jardinage, Lorentz avec l'appui de Zœpffel, conservateur à Besançon, augmenta considérablement les prélèvements.

En octobre 1820, avec le rétablissement d'une administration forestière, il est nommé inspecteur à Caudebec en Normandie. Il n'y resta que deux mois mais œuvra à la conversion en futaie de la forêt de Brotonne sous les bons auspices du M. de Cézille, conservateur de Rouen, ainsi que de la forêt de Lyons hors de sa circonscription.

En décembre 1820, il rejoignit  sa dernière affectation à l'inspection de Saint-Dié avant d'être appelé en octobre 1824 à la tête de la nouvelle école forestière de Nancy.

Premier directeur de la nouvelle école royale forestière (1824-1830)

Son ami et protecteur, l'administrateur général des forêts, Charles Marcotte, suggère au ministre des finances le comte de Villèle, le nom de Lorentz pour fonder et diriger la nouvelle école royale forestière. Marcotte connaissait Lorentz pour l'avoir rencontré en Allemagne et dans ses différents postes en France. Lorentz se montre effrayé et hésitant. En effet il écrit cette lettre à Marcotte avant d'accepter la tâche qui lui était proposée :En décembre 1924, 24 élèves sont sélectionnés et les premiers cours commencent en février 1925. Les ouvrages français de foresterie n'existant plus depuis 1790, Lorentz mit entre les mains de ses étudiants ceux qu'il connaissait en provenance d'Allemagne : le Manuel forestier de von Burgdorff et Instruction sur la culture du bois à l'usage des forestiers d'Hartig, tous deux traduits par Baudrillart. Cependant Lorentz entreprit de rédiger son cours de sylviculture très largement repris de l'œuvre de Hartig, mais adapté aux conditions françaises et comportant progressivement de nouveaux chapitres entièrement originaux. Ce cours intitulé Cours élémentaire de culture des bois fut complété et publié par Adolphe Parade. Il fut édité à six reprises de 1837 à 1883. Ces cours marquent la rupture entre la sylviculture traditionnelle française et de nouvelles pratiques en partie inspirées par les forestiers allemands. Plus qu'en amphithéâtre, l'enseignement de Lorentz prend toute son ampleur au cours d'excursion en forêts faites avec ses élèves.

Bernard Lorenz reçoit le titre de Conservateur des forêts le 6 juillet 1825.

Lorentz, fait venir auprès de lui le jeune Parade en février 1825, alors âgé de 23 ans, comme répétiteur des cours d'économie forestière. Il intervient également lors des tournées de terrain.

Lorsque Charles Marcotte devint directeur des forêts en 1830, il appelle Lorentz auprès de lui comme administrateur. Pour son remplacement à la direction de l'école, il proposa au ministre Louis, un compatriote, né lui aussi à Colmar, Dagobert de Salomon (1783-1854). Il connaissait bien ses opinions forestières en faveur de la foresterie allemande et de Salomon avait été son successeur au poste d'inspecteur des forêts à Wissembourg. En 1837, de Salomon, se trouvant débordé par les difficultés de la tâche de directeur, demanda et obtint de rentrer dans le service ordinaire comme conservateur des forêts à Colmar. Il fut donc remplacé en 1838 par Adolphe Parade, sous-directeur de l'école au départ de Lorentz.

Administrateur général des Forêts (1830-1841)
Lorsque Charles Marcotte devint directeur des forêts en 1830, il appelle Lorentz auprès de lui comme administrateur. Il exerce les fonctions de sous-directeur, à la tête de la  division ayant notamment la charge des aménagements et de l'examen des états d'assiette des coupes de bois de l'État.

À ce poste supérieur et national, il contribue fortement aux conversions des taillis-sous-futaie et taillis en futaie ce qui lui valut de fortes hostilités des maîtres des forges, des industriels des hauts-fourneaux,  des verreries, etc. qui utilisaient encore largement le bois de chauffage comme source d'énergie.

Cela lui vaut d'être mis à la retraite d'office par le directeur général des forêts Legrand, le 15 septembre 1839 à l'âge de 65 ans. Pour justifier cette mise à l'écart, le ministre des finances Hippolyte Passy lui écrit « vos idées trop exclusives en matière d'aménagement ont paru à l'administration contraires aux intérêts bien compris du pays ». En marge de cette lettre, Lorentz écrit : « Si le principe de la futaie n'est pas encore adopté par les gens de finance, il le sera plus tard par des hommes capables d'apprécier les vrais intérêts de l'État, et ce qui m'a valu des reproches en 1839 deviendra pour moi un titre d'honneur. » Lorentz vécut assez longtemps pour avoir eu la satisfaction de voir se vérifier cette dernière prévision.

Peu de temps après avoir été mis à la retraite, Hector Bresson devient directeur général des forêts à la place de Legrand. Ce nouveau directeur, regrettant le départ de Lorentz mais ne pouvant pas le réintégrer comme administrateur, lui confie une mission extraordinaire dans les départements du sud de la France. Au programme de cette mission figurait des questions au sujet de l'ensemencement des dunes de Gascogne,  de la culture du chêne-liège, du pâturage en forêt et enfin du déboisement préoccupant dans les Pyrénées et les Alpes. Ses recommandations sur ce dernier sujet furent adoptées dans la loi de 1860 sur le reboisement en montagne. Lorentz consacra à cette mission sept mois durant l'hiver 1840-1941.

Les dernières années (1841-1865)

Il vit assez longtemps, et durant ces 45 ans dernières années, il put voir peu à peu ses idées, en faveur de la conduite des forêts en futaie, prendre force et triompher.

Lorsqu'il quitte la vie professionnelle en 1841, il demeure trois ans à Paris jusqu'à  la fin 1844.

Lorentz avait eu pour élève et disciple Théophile de Buffévent (1787-1860) qui devint un excellent forestier avec qui il se lia d'amitié. Alors que ce dernier était Conservateur à Alençon, Lorentz parcourut en 1843, en sa compagnie, les massifs de l'Orne et de la Sarthe.

Il s'installe à Strasbourg jusqu'en 1850 puis rejoint sa ville natale de Colmar. Sauf un voyage à Paris en 1851, sa vie s'écoule doucement auprès de ses nombreux enfants, l'été à la campagne, en Suisse, en Allemagne, le plus souvent à Ribeauvillé, se promenant dans les forêts qu'il avait géré.

Durant sa retraite, il a le malheur de voir disparaître, en 1856 son fil aîné, Edmond, ingénieur civil de l'école centrale des arts et manufacture et surtout, en novembre 1864, son gendre, Adolphe Parade, le continuateur de son œuvre à l'école forestière de Nancy.

Il meurt quelques mois après Parade, à Colmar, le 5 mars 1865 d'un rhume accompagné de fièvres.

For Virtual Machines I create, as well as on old computers I use, I'd like to turn off gdm/lightdm in order to get better performance. I don't like to boot into single user mode ("linux single") because using root is a bad practice, and I also prefer to keep an easy way to boot back into graphic mode, so when graphic mode is required, no extra commands would be needed.
The way I see as the most useful is to configure Grub to show a menu item for "Ubuntu Text mode" in addition to the regular boot and the recovery mode, and set the text mode as default. I tried to do it myself, but Grub2 configuration files on /etc/grub.d/ looks too cryptic to me, and /etc/defaults/grub can set booting into text but it doesn't seems to allow keeping a menu item for graphical booting as well as setting text or graphics as default, and I prefer to keep the booting process simple to novice users so they won't need to mess with starting services manually or editing the kernel boot command line in Grub2.
Similar threads: https://askubuntu.com/a/196613/19967, https://askubuntu.com/a/79682/19967 - completely remove GUI and start it from the command line instead of Grub2 menuitems.
of course, you need to replace sda1 and msdos1 with the correct partition (or UUID if you prefer).
After that run sudo update-grub and the new entry should be added at the end of the list.
This only creates a manual entry. If you want a automatic entry for each kernel then you must edit /etc/grub.d/10_linux.
