From Phillip Rucker writing at The Washington Post:
For Democrats, Donald Trump amounts to a kind of divine intervention.
With the Republican Party on an urgent mission to woo Latino voters, one of its leading presidential candidates has been enmeshed for two weeks in a nasty feud over his inflammatory comments about Mexican immigrants.
"They're bringing drugs," Trump said in his campaign announcement speech. "They're bringing crime. They're rapists."
The comments — and many more since — have prompted an uproar among Latino groups and a series of acrimonious break-ups between Trump and various corporate partners. His outlandish rhetoric and skill at occupying the national spotlight is also proving to be dangerously toxic for the GOP brand, which remains in the rehabilitation stage after losing the 2012 presidential race.
Univision said it would not air his Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants; Trump sued the Spanish-language television network for $500 million. NBC Universal severed all ties to him this week, including his "Apprentice" reality series; he called the network "so weak and so foolish."
And on Wednesday, the Macy's department store chain dumped him, saying it would no longer sell his menswear line. Trump said the retail chain had "totally caved."
Despite — or perhaps because of — such antics, the flashy real estate mogul with a big bank account and an even bigger ego has rocketed into second place in recent national polls and in the early nominating states of Iowa and New Hampshire.

Rhos-y-gwaliau 2017
Year 6 will be off on their latest adventure to North Wales on Sunday, 29th January.
We will let you know about our exciting activities through our group blogs and include some photos. We endeavour to take photos of all of the children throughout the week, completing a range of activities. However, only a small selection will appear on our blog.
We had an excellent journey and arrived with plenty of time to unpack, make our beds and collect our kit for the week. After a delicious meal of fish and chips, we found our torches and headed up the hill behind the centre. Fortunately the clouds cleared to give us a starry sky and a clear view of Bala below. After a hot chocolate, the children are all tucked up in bed ready for our adventures to begin tomorrow.
Miss Burgess
The children are busy searching for missing socks and packing their bags so it is a whole group entry for today.
All of the teams have completed the same activities - a hill trail and the zip wire. The hill trail involved working as a team to read a map and navigate their way back to Rhos. The instructors set them off in the right direction and watched from a distance to ensure that they were following the correct route. Unfortunately the weather was wet and windy which spoilt the lovely views and meant that they all appeared back at the centre resembling drowned rats!
The other activity took place close to the centre and saw them bravely jumping over the edge and zipping over a river.
After yet another delicious meal of homemade soup, pizza, smoothies and birthday cake, the children are planning their final activity - the disco.
They have had a fantastic week and have been a pleasure to spend time with. See you back at school tomorrow afternoon.
The tired teachers!
Group A Blog
Day 1 - Monday
Today group A went to the beach for rock scrambling. To get used to the climbing we had a challenge to see how well we could move along the rock without falling off – we were pretty good at it. After that we had to try and squeeze through a small hole in the rock which required lots of teamwork. After lunch, we had to follow the leader to make our way along the rock and across the sinking sand. Lots of us got stuck in the sand as we tried to move. We also had a go on the matrix where we had to run up the rocks and high five each other as we passed each other. We showed some really good friendship and teamwork today.
Day 2 - Tuesday
Group A were the first group to explore a slate mine. To get in we had to climb up a steep and narrow path up a mountainside. Walking into the mine was cold, wet and dark. We used our head torches to lead us along the old railway tracks. Some of us felt excited because it was a new experience. We stopped in a chamber which had been made by dynamite many years ago, to eat our lunch by candlelight. Later, we travelled across a flooded chamber on a dinghy. We enjoyed being part of a large group underground.
Day 3 - Wednesday
We started today with a short drive to Bala Lake where we crossed a lake in canoes. Our canoes were tied together to make them more stable and we paddled hard to get to the other side. When we got there, we ate part of our lunch and started a fire to toast marshmallows. After that we went back in the canoes and paddled back to the beginning. This wasn't our only activity of the day - we had to go on a gorge walk.
When we reached the gorge, we scrambled across some slippery rocks to get to the shallow water. We kept going until we got to a fast flowing piece of water. To get across, we stood in a line and created a dam across the river. Unfortunately, we slipped and all of us fell in. It was cold but we managed to keep going. This was one of our favourite activities.
Day 4 - Thursday
Today was the most challenging that we have had - we climbed a MOUNTAIN! Before leaving we had to make sure that we had everything we needed including our walking boots. When we got there, we had a talk about climbing and Paul said that we've got to keep going and that if we sit down then acids build up in your muscles and you get stiff and achey. We started climbing up bits of slate which were like stairs and there were ruined houses made out of slate. When we got to a certain point, we had a little bit of lunch to give us energy before we continued climbing. We worked well as a team to reach the summit - where we could see how far up we had come. Our whole team are really proud of what we have achieved today.
Group B Blog
Day 1 - Monday
Today we went canoeing and for a walk in the gorge. Carrying the canoe down to the lake was hard but we all worked together and were then ready to head on to the water. It took a while to get the hang of steering but we improved our teamwork and by the end were quite good at it.
When we did the gorge walk, the rocks were really slippery. We had to help each other make our way across the river lots of times, trying not to slip on the rocks. At the end, we got the chance to slide in. It was really cold and especially cold if you lost your wellies – which we did!
Day 2 - Tuesday
Today was an extremely challenging but rewarding day. We set off in the cloud and drizzle to climb our first mountain - Moel Y Hydd. This mountain is 648m high and we did not just walk up a footpath. Instead, we climbed up rocks, scrambled over streams and headed into dense cloud. It wasn't easy and we really had to encourage each other to keep going. Reaching the summit, we were proud and exhausted but we didn't stay there long because of the wind and the rain. The quickest route down included sliding on our bottoms. We have mixed emotions about climbing a mountain again but we all feel that we have achieved something special.
Day 3 - Wednesday
What a beautiful day we have had! The sun shone brightly above the mountains and the sea. Our visit to the beach was unlike any beach trip we have ever had. We had to climb rocks, scramble along rocks and even go through rocks. For each of these we were set challenges which included blind-folded, 3-legged and one-armed climbing. To achieve some of these we really had to work as a team. The best part was the Matrix - lots of climbing, sliding and running across a large slab of rock. We tried to stay dry but some of us managed to get damp and sandy when we had a backwards running race through the sinking sand. This has been a really great and we can't wait for tomorrow.
Day 4 - Thursday
Today we visited a slate mine. Wearing head torches, belts and helmets, we made our way deep inside a mountain. Some of us were quite scared before we went in but it wasn't as scary as we had thought. Inside, we could stand up straight and the path was quite good. We followed the cart track along (which was covered in water) until we reached a flooded chamber. To get across we had to paddle an inflatable boat. We ate our lunch by candle light before turning off all lights and experiencing what pitch darkness is really like. Getting out was another challenge because we had to walk up another incline which had water flowing down it. When we reached the top we discovered that we were on top of the mountain, For some of us, this was our favourite activity.
GRoup C blog
Day 1 - Monday
Group C went canoeing this morning. We were not naturals straight away at canoeing as we kept going round in circles! Once we had mastered going in a straight line we had a race across the lake. On the other side we had lunch and then made a fire to toast marshmallows on. After our success on the lake we went for a gorge walk. The water was deep and cold. Our boots got very full of water as we slipped over quite a few times. Lots of us got stuck at points in the deep water but overall it was a great day.
Day 2 - Tuesday
Group C also went up the mountain but we went a different way. Our route started by walking along a road – easy. But then, our instructor told us to head up an old slate track. Obviously, a few of us fell over and were frightened that we might slip and fall further. The path then got harder as we climbed higher and higher. Gradually, the clouds began to get thicker and the visibility got poorer. At the top, it was really windy and we decided to have a quick photo and then head back down. Today was a challenging and tiring but brilliant day.
Day 3 - Wednesday
Today we explored a slate mine. As we entered the dark, mysterious mine, we were lined up along a stream. We had head torches and could see clearly. Inside the mine, we saw an old mine cart with some old pieces of equipment. We walked along a mine cart track which was flooded until we got to a flooded chamber. We couldn't walk across this so we climbed into a boat and paddled into the darkness. Lunch was exciting – we had a candle lit lunch deep underground. After lunch, we turned off our head torches and the candles. Even after our eyes had adjusted to the darkness, we couldn't see our hands in front of us. Getting out of the mine was slightly more challenging because we had to climb up a waterfall. Seeing daylight at the top was a relief.
Day 4 - Thursday
Today we ventured to the sea side to do rock scrambling but the tide was too high to start with. Instead, we began our day at the beach with a sand castle building competition. Once we got to the rocks we did some wall running (running across a rock at an angle), traversing (walking along a near vertical wall of rock) and team work activities, One of the best activities was using ropes to scramble up the rocks.
GRoup D Blog
Day 1 - Monday
Today group D had to climb a mountain. We went up Moel-Y-Hydd which is 658m high. On the way up, we had to climb up the rocks and through a tunnel that had been dug through part of the mountain. It was really steep in places but the views were fantastic and we made it to the top as a team. To celebrate reaching the top we had a snowball fight. Some of us have really good shots! On the way down we got to slide down some of the slippery areas - it was great fun and we also had some boggy areas to walk through. Some of us lost our boots and ended up knee high in thick sticky mud. Today was tiring but great and we can't wait for our next adventure.
Day 2 - Tuesday
Group D went rock scrambling today on the Welsh coast. First we had to use our mountain skills to clamber over rocks to get to the start. Once there we worked with partners to climb along the rocks and avoid stepping on the sand. The whole day was made up of lots of little challenges such as climbing sideways, running up the vortex and racing across the sand. We enjoyed our day and our new experiences.
Day 3 - Wednesday
Today was a cold day. The weather was milder but we were exposed because we went canoeing across Lake Bala, which is the longest lake in Wales. It was very tiring because we had to use lots of strength to paddle across. On the other side we lit a fire and toasted marshamallows - some of us managed to do seven layers.
This was followed by..... the coldest activity. The gorge walk. We started by getting in a shallow part of the river but as we got further upstream, the water flowed faster and we had to cling on tighter to the rocks. Sometimes we had to walk along the stream, other times we had to climb nad scramble over slippery rocks and fallen branches. This wasn't easy and some of us fell in and even managed to lose our wellies. None of us stayed dry because we all jumped in at the end.
Today has been the coldest but the best!
Day 4 - Thursday
Today we went into a slate mine which was really really dark. Fortunately, we had head torches and helmets on. We climbed through a hole and walked towards the middle of the mountain following a cart track which was covered with water. Above us were stalactites hanging from the ceiling. We had an exciting lunch because it was candlelit! Then we blew out the candles and it was pitch black and you couldn't see a single thing, After lunch we got in a raft to cross over a flooded chamber which was very very deep. On the other side we explored the paths and clambered up some rocks to get to the next level. We used a map to figure out a route that led us to the exit. The best route took us up an incline which had water flowing down it. Today has been the darkest but one of the most exciting we have had.

Twitter from the Command Line
I'm trying to incorporate Twitter into my workflow for Jekyll by allowing any new posts to the site to subsequently update Twitter. The script I've hacked together so far is very basic, and doesn't yet do the job, but I thought I'd share what I have thus far.
Pretty easy to get this working. The script requires a couple of simple includes:
- oauth
Then register your app to authenticate your new Ruby command line Twitter script to use OAuth. Write down the consumer and access public and private keys; you'll need them to get things working. Once you're ready, simply plug in your keys into this script:
You can run this by calling up Ruby or make the script executable and edit your bash PATH in your .bashrc file (don't forget to refresh .bashrc after you modify it).

The possibility of a free trade deal with Donald Trump is focusing attention on a future US corporate takeover of the UK National Health Service. While there are fears and criticism surrounding the corrupting influence of such private interests, we don't have to look to the future to be concerned. The current arrangements within the NHS, such as the internal market, have fallen short in delivering promised 'innovation' and in some cases, have proved to be dangerous for patients.
In February 2016, NHS whistleblower Sarah Hayes revealed the chaotic state of the NHS 111 service in the South West of England. NHS 111 is a free-to-call medical helpline intended for 'urgent but not life-threatening' health issues.
It is often overlooked that we have lived with an internal market for 25 years
Hayes told of exhausted staff sleeping on the job and calls being handled by teenagers who had recently completed their GCSEs with minimal or no medical training. The story was associated particularly with a scandal involving the death of baby William Mead in Cornwall.
Defenders of the NHS had criticized the 111 facility for some time, claiming the unacceptable level of service was a direct consequence of privatization. But the situation in Cornwall was complicated by the fact that the NHS 111 service in the area was at that time contracted by the local Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to a public organization, the South West Ambulance Foundation Trust (SWAFT).
Rather than being a straightforward case of the dangers of external privatization, the story tells us something more general about the market model in large organizations, private as well as public. With serious concerns over external privatization, it is often overlooked that we have lived with an internal NHS market in some form or another for 25 years.
Rather than driving innovation, business units started fighting each other
The narrative that the way to promote service innovation and drive down costs is via competition is so dominant that many people accept it uncritically. But does it work? It is interesting to start by looking at the private sector itself where surprisingly internal markets are not popular.
A 2013 article by Steve Denning outlined the problems. While Denning focused on innovation rather than service provision the principles are almost identical since the goal of delivering more medical services for less cost relies on creating or adopting 'innovative' ideas. Denning mentions the case of American retailer Sears whose chairman Eddy Lampert is an enthusiastic proponent of internal business units for driving innovation. As Denning says:
"An outspoken advocate of free-market economics and fan of the novelist Ayn Rand, [Lampert] created the [business unit] model because he expected the invisible hand of the market to drive better results. If the company's leaders were told to act selfishly, he argued, they would run their divisions in a rational manner, boosting overall performance."
Even sympathetic private sector advocates admit the internal market model is far from universally applicable
The consequence however was that business units started fighting each other, efficiency plummeted and financial results were disappointing. Sears had to hire and promote dozens of financial and marketing officers, greatly increasing overheads. A holistic strategy for the entire organization became impossible and customer focus was compromised. These consequences bear similarities to the experience of the NHS' own internal market.
In How to Dismantle the NHS in 10 Easy Steps, Youssef El-Gingihy notes:
"Administrative costs rose from 5% in the mid 1970s to 14% in 2003 mainly due to internal market operations. Around 10% of the NHS budget or £10 billion a year is therefore spent on running an internal market. The Health and Social Care Act could push these administrative costs to 30%, which is similar to the US."
Together with the already mentioned turf wars, duplication of effort and poor financial performance, it is also indicative of an inability to define a clear strategic direction. Even sympathetic private sector advocates admit that the model is far from universally applicable.
Speaking of his experience in a very different organization, the World Bank, Denning says:
"A huge amount of time [was] spent on [the internal market] for very little gain. The negotiations were all about a few percent of activities at the margin but one hundred percent of people were involved in a massive negotiation, all aimed at protecting their own activities and work programs."
Contract termination adds extra costs and puts extra strain on services such as GPs and A&E
Returning to the South West NHS 111 scandal, the SWAFT pulled out of the Devon and Cornwall contracts in 2016 citing an inappropriate business model. This created exactly the inefficiency highlighted by Denning where Clinical Commissioning Groups had to spend time and effort putting in place a new contract.
The destabilizing effect of contract termination is significant, with extra strain being felt on other services such as GPs and A&E departments. Not widely reported was the fact that this was actually the second time the NHS 111 service contract was disrupted – neighboring Devon having been the victim of a contractor withdrawal in 2013.
The additional costs resulting from these kinds of disruptions adds to those incurred from duplication of work and unnecessary activity, which already makes internal markets undesirable. Following the withdrawal of SWAFT the 111 service in Devon was restructured and amalgamated with the out-of-hours service run by Devon Doctors, a social enterprise organization owned by Devon's GP practices.
The stiffer the competition in an area, the lower the quality of care
The new Devon 111 contract at least had the advantage of re-integrating services, running against the current of fragmentation and consequent damage to a holistic approach, which is felt most keenly at the individual patient level. Service fragmentation is of great concern as the population ages with an increase in overlapping chronic illnesses. A Kings Fund overview of market reforms emphasized:
"Recent NHS initiatives have increased the range of providers in both primary care (eg, walk-in centers) and secondary care (eg, independent-sector treatment centers). This has the potential to worsen co-ordination of care – an area in which UK performance is already poor compared with other countries."
The adverse effect of such reforms on providing a coordinated service becomes dangerous within healthcare as a 2003 study by Bristol University found. Focusing on just one feature, the death rate following heart attacks, they discovered that the death rates in hospitals in areas of greatest competition were higher. The overall conclusion of the report was that the stiffer the competition in an area the lower the quality of care.
With compelling evidence that the market does not work and is in fact harmful, what possible reason can there be for continuing with it? As Calum Paton, Professor of Health Policy at Keele University argued in a February 2014 paper, it is ideology:
"Not only has evidence to justify 'market reforms' to the English NHS from 1990 to the present-day [2014] been absent, but the recent Health and Social Care Act of 2012 actually ignores, or even inverts, evidence which suggests that 'commissioning' by GPs in local markets characterized by separate 'purchasers' and 'providers' is costly and of dubious effectiveness. The only reasonable conclusion is that market policy is based upon ideological dogma, pressure from commercial interests or both."
Government policy often resembles rummaging around in the eponymous garbage can
For Paton, the NHS internal market is an example of the Garbage-Can theory of decision making. The theory originated in a 1972 publication by Cohen, March and Olsen and holds that problems, solutions and decision makers are disconnected from each other.
In their view, an organization is more a collection of choices looking for problems, solutions looking for issues to which they might be the answer, and decision makers looking for work. This certainly describes the appearance of a Government policy which often resembles rummaging around in the eponymous garbage can.
Such administrative reforms and the resulting disruption of a very efficient system is viewed as puzzling by overseas observers too. For example, a Brazilian report concluded:
"The British system is an international historical reference for health entitlement, prioritizing universality, and organizing a system with primary care as the portal of entry with case-resolution capacity, acting in cooperation with other sectors of care to ensure comprehensive healthcare. Such administrative reforms, part of an adverse political and economic context, interpose market logic in clinical and epidemiological reasoning in management decisions, thereby jeopardizing the reason for being of the public health system itself: the population's universal right to care and prevention."
Solutions will not be delivered by current ideological commitments
The story surrounding the NHS 111 scandal has revealed something fundamental. Not only is the external market inappropriate for public health provision, but we should be looking closely at the whole issue of internal markets as well. Internal markets foster a consumerist rather than a citizen-centered approach. If you provide few resources to one part of the system, then they will try to squeeze as much as possible from another sector.
There are two basic facts about the NHS which cannot be disputed. Firstly, it is extremely popular with the public, being a matter of pride and source of identity for many people. Secondly, with more technologically advanced care, sophisticated drugs and an aging population costs are escalating rapidly. Evidently, solutions must be found, but will not be delivered by current ideological commitments to models such as the internal market.
We must stop the commodification of healthcare. Various organizations are campaigning to spread awareness of the policy and campaign to prevent its extension. 999 Call for the NHS organizes local campaigns with a national agenda while both the Green Party and National Health Action Party field candidates dedicated to reversing competition and privatization.

Technology historian E&T examines the causes of ten of history's worst engineering disasters and the lessons that could be learnt from them.
The following ten engineering disasters - stretching from the sinking of the Swedish ship Vasa in the 17th century to the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor at the end of the 20th century - illustrate what lessons are learnt when things go wrong.
There will always be failures or disasters as engineers and designers push the boundaries by building taller buildings, longer bridges, or by reaching further into space.
Each time there is a failure or disaster, changes are made and regulations introduced only to be outstripped by further developments.
The Space Shuttle Challenger
On 28 January 1986, space shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds after launch, killing its seven crew members. The subsequent Rogers Commission found that the immediate cause of the accident was the failure of both primary and secondary O-rings on the right solid rocket booster, allowing hot gas and flame to escape, which then came into contact with the booster attachment and external tank, resulting in structural failure.
The problems with the O-rings had been known about for nine years but had been ignored, partly because safety was deemed ensured with the presence of the second ring. However, as was later made clear, the second ring was there for unforeseen failure, not a failure that had been considered. Engineers' warnings that low temperatures would exacerbate the problem were also ignored by NASA managers because of pressure to keep to the launch timetable.
Now widely used as a case study for trainee engineers, this disaster taught us many lessons: that the advice of engineers should be considered carefully by management; that the ethics of whistle-blowing and group decision-making should be introduced. Afterwards, there was a total redesign of the solid rocket boosters, in which three O-rings were incorporated, watched over by an independent oversight group as stipulated by the commission.
In summing up the disaster, Richard Feynman, a member of the Rogers Commission, made a telling point to the effect that "for a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled".
Tacoma Narrows Bridge
The Tacoma Narrows road bridge over Puget Sound in the USA was opened on 1 July 1940. From the start, its twisting and swaying motion in high winds quickly earned it the nickname 'Galloping Gertie'. However, in November 1940 a 40mph wind broke Gertie up, and she collapsed, though with no fatalities.
This has grown to be considered an instance of aesthetics winning out over stability and durability. The bridge was a culmination of a trend in design that had been developing from the start of the 20th century, shaped like an aircraft wing and with similar properties. This gave it an unfortunate predisposition to lift in the wind.
The disaster led to a realisation that aerodynamic forces in bridge construction were not fully understood. New studies were undertaken that addressed these problems, and wind tunnels started to be used to test designs.
The Vasa
Astonishingly, the instability of the Vasa, built for King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, was known even before her maiden voyage in 1628. At 1,200t, she was one of the largest and most ostentatious warships of her time, powerfully armed and decorated with hundreds of painted sculptures. But the king's constant interference during construction compromised the design from the start.
A test involving 30 men running back and forth across the deck was stopped after three tries, it being obvious the ship would capsize. The king was not told and no one resisted his repeated entreaties to put the ship to sea. However, if it is still difficult today to be a whistleblower, one can infer that the pressures to keep quiet in the age of absolute monarchs were even greater. The foundering of the Vasa, after it encountered a moderate breeze and water entered the lower gun ports, was inevitable.
Given that the ship's demise took place in full sight of a clutch of foreign ambassadors, the lessons from this disaster will have been taken and implemented widely. Later ships, including those of the British Royal Navy, carried their heavy guns on the lower decks with lighter ones on the top deck, the topside of the ship being curved inwards to bring the weight of the cannon nearer to the centre line of the vessel.
The Herald of Free Enterprise
While open gun ports may well have contributed to the sinking of the Vasa, there is absolutely no doubt that, nearly 350 years later, failure to shut the bow doors caused the sinking of the channel ferry The Herald of Free Enterprise, when it left the Belgian port of Zeebrugge bound for the English port of Dover on an evening in March 1987.
The 'roll-on roll-off' ferry, owned by Townsend Thoresen, was designed for rapid throughput of vehicles, with access via doors at the bow or stern. To enable loading at Zeebrugge, it was necessary to lower the bow by filling the forward ballast tanks. On 6 March 1987, with loading completed, the last crew member departed the car deck with the bow doors still open, assuming that the man whose job it was to close them would arrive. He did not; he was asleep. The captain on the bridge had no means of knowing the status of the doors and so sailed with the bow still down as the ballast tanks had not completely emptied. As the ship gathered speed, water entered the car deck and - with no subdividing bulkheads - flowed freely, destroying stability. The ship listed 30° to port, righted itself, listed to port again and capsized in shallow water after a fortuitous turn to starboard at the last moment. A total of 193 passengers and crew died.
The subsequent enquiry found that, "From top to bottom, the body corporate was infected with the disease of sloppiness". Repeated requests for door indicator lights had been ignored. These were installed on the other boats immediately. Many other lessons were learnt concerning draught gauges, freight weights, emergency lighting, life jackets and means of escape. The accident also caused naval architects to look at the 'free water' effect, considering freeing flaps to allow the escape of water from the car deck in the event of flooding and the use of dividing bulkheads.
The de Havilland Comets
The first of its type, the de Havilland Comet, which first flew in July 1949, came into service with BOAC (British Overseas Air Corporation) in May 1952 after the most exhaustive testing. It was the world's first pressurised commercial jet airliner. Being quieter, smoother and faster than propeller-driven aircraft, in some cases cutting journey times by half, it became very popular.
Two early accidents were attributed to pilot error, while one of May 1953 in India was due to structural failure. By 1954, the aircraft had flown 25,000 hours representing about 10 million miles.
When a Comet broke up soon after leaving Rome Airport in January 1954, with the death of all 35 on board, the fleet was grounded and a committee under the chairmanship of a Mr C Abell was convened. Though structural problems were considered, it was decided fire was the probable cause. With another crash a month later, also after leaving Rome, the Comet fleet was again grounded and a full-scale investigation was started by the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE). An identical air frame was subjected to repeated re-pressurisation and over-pressurisation until it failed, the failure starting near the corner of one of the windows. With the subsequent discovery of some wreckage containing two windows confirming this, the RAE report attributed the accident to "the structural failure of the pressure cabin due to fatigue".
Many lessons were learnt with regard to the design, safe life and testing of pressure cabins. It was realised that greater use should be made of the facilities at the RAE and that there should be some changes in the system of inspection. All Comets were subsequently withdrawn from commercial service.
A Comet 4 was designed and built but did not enter service until 1958 by which time Boeing and Douglas, learning from the Comet disasters, had built safer and cheaper aircraft. It was understood that, had these companies been first in the field, they would inevitably have had the same problems as de Havilland.
The Titanic
If sculptures on the deck were not considered on the Titanic, as they had been on the Vasa (see [3]), safety took second place to aesthetics in at least one area. The design had originally included two rows of lifeboats on the deck but one row was removed, allowing more space and a better view for passengers with first-class berths. This was not against the Board of Trade regulations which covered only ships up to 13,000t and not the 46,000t Titanic.
The sinking of the Titanic is history's best known sea disaster, written and speculated about endlessly in books, feature films and documentaries. The upshot of this research means that it now seems likely the iceberg buckled the plates and popped out substandard rivets along a length of the hull, allowing water into at least five of the watertight compartments. As the boat went down by the head, water flowed over the transverse bulkheads, which were barely above the waterline, into other compartments. It has been said that the height of the bulkheads was reduced to avoid spoiling the first-class public rooms.
In the aftermath of the disaster, the height of transverse bulkheads was increased and double hulls reaching further up the sides of ships became common. There were new regulations regarding safety, increasing the number of lifeboats and allowing easy access to them for all passengers. There were also changes regarding the use of radio at sea.
The Tay Bridge
By the time Thomas Bouch came to construct the Tay Railway Bridge in Scotland, he had a record for finishing projects on time using economical designs; one of his contractors described his bigger bridges as "muscle without flesh". The Tay Bridge was completed in February 1878 to become the longest in the world at 3,264m, with 85 spans, 13 of which formed the central navigation spans. As a train crossed the bridge during a violent storm on 28 December 1897, these central spans failed and the bridge collapsed into the Tay. Along with the lives of 75 passengers and crew, Bouch's reputation was lost, and the disaster is believed to have led to his death the following year.
The bridge itself was a mishmash of designs with changes made during construction. The subsequent enquiry found it was "badly designed, badly built, and badly maintained". But the immediate causes of the collapse were written about as recently as 1995. It now seems certain that a strong gust of wind caught the bridge and the train causing the bolts in the base plates, which anchored the bridge to the piers, to fail, allowing the column bases to lift off. This put pressure on the diagonal bracing members which then collapsed. Bouche had, without doubt, made an inadequate allowance for wind loading using 10lbsf/sq ft (1 lbsf/sq ft = 0.048 kN sq m). The advice that this wind loading was adequate had been given by, among others, Sir George Airy, the Astronomer Royal. True, the science of wind effects was still in its infancy, yet engineers in France and America had been using 50 lbsf/ sq ft. Strangely, this fact was not known or applied in Britain.
In summary, the importance of research into the effects of wind on structures was recognised, as was the need for quality control during construction and for engineers to resist undue pressure to keep costs down.
St Francis Dam
William Mulholland, like the Tay Bridge's Thomas Bouch, had a reputation for economical design and for finishing his projects on time and within budget. The similarities with the Tay Bridge go even further. Mulholland changed the design of the dam during construction increasing its height by some six metres, without any corresponding increase in the width of the base. But, like Bouch, he was an innovator, and in 1913 completed what was the longest aqueduct in the world, 380km, from Owens Valley to Los Angeles, California.
Again, as with the Tay Bridge, the faults were apparent soon after construction was completed in 1926 but were ignored. On 12 March 1928, the dam failed with the resulting flood wave causing around 600 deaths. Mulholland accepted sole responsibility for the disaster though he was not blamed at the time and, like Bouche, worked no more.
It seems that the real cause was the reactivation of a paleomegalandslide, probably undetectable at the time, on which the western side of the dam was built, together with the increase in height. Another reason was the fact that one man was responsible for the construction (again as with Bouch), with no oversight or advice sought or given. As a result, it was felt that never again should similar projects be left to the sole judgement of one man and control by the state engineers was introduced. In 1929, California enacted professional registration for engineers (Mulholland was self-taught), and the importance of the study of the geology in site selection was emphasized.
Ronan Point
Early in the morning of 16 May 1968, Ivy Hodge in her flat in the Ronan Point tower block in east London lit a match for her gas stove. The resulting explosion due to a gas leak blew out the supporting walls and led to the collapse of the four floors above. The weight on the floors below led to the progressive collapse of the whole corner of the building. Four people died.
The 22-storey block of flats was built using the Larsen-Nielsen large panel system, which involved the assembly of factory-built pre-cast components. This method was fast and cheap at a time when there was a great need for new housing. It required less labour and skill which was scarce at a time of full employment but was not recommended for buildings higher than six storeys.
The gas leak was caused by a faulty joint, while the collapse was the consequence of shoddy building work and the absence of structural redundancy, meaning there were no alternative methods of support once the corner walls fell away.
This disaster brought about wide changes to the out-of-date building codes. It was decided there was a need to allow for the possibility of internal explosions and progressive collapse. The requirement for structural redundancy was acknowledged. Subsequently, these changes were introduced in the US, Canada and western Europe. The importance of quality control in building construction was also re-emphasised.
There is good reason to describe the explosion at Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Ukraine on 26 April 1986 as the most catastrophic engineering disaster in history, as the consequent release of radioactivity led to the enforced and lasting evacuation of the surrounding area. A highly radioactive plume drifted over large areas of Europe as well as eastern north America, affecting millions of people.
The causes of the disaster have been analysed extensively. The reactor at Chenobyl, the RBMK (High Power Channel Type Reactor) was - and is - flawed in a number of ways, some of which cannot be rectified. As Hans Meyer of the International Atomic Energy Agency said in 1996, "the great danger of the RBMK reactors is that they can catch fire in a way other reactors cannot". On top of this, there were administrative failings at the plant. The immediate cause was the conducting of a test, which had been postponed and then restarted with the result that many operatives were exhausted. Also, with a change of shift, some of those who arrived for work either did not know what was happening or were inexperienced.
Greenpeace concludes that there has been a failure to learn lessons with regard to the continued operation of dangerous reactors. However, in other areas lessons have been learnt. Countries reorganised their emergency responses to such accidents, a stimulus was provided to get international agreements on food contamination. The awareness of radiation effects and their treatment was increased dramatically.
Ten reasons for ten disasters
- Conflict between designers, engineers and management: Vasa, Titanic, and Challenger;
- Flawed geological research: Tay Bridge and St Francis Dam;
- Flawed design or use of flawed materials or components: Tay Bridge, Titanic, Challenger and Chernobyl;
- Modification of design during construction: Tay Bridge and St Francis Dam;
- Ignoring known problems: Vasa, Tay Bridge, St Francis Dam, Challenger and Herald of Free Enterprise;
- Poor construction: Tay Bridge, St Francis Dam and Ronan Point;
- Lack of quality control and oversight or use of poorly skilled labour: Tay Bridge, St Francis Dam and Ronan Point;
- Impatience to get the project finished or launched: Tay Bridge, Vasa and Challenger;
- Being first in the field or the biggest at the time: Tay Bridge, Titanic, Comet & Challenger;
- Aesthetics more important than strength, durability or safety: Vasa, Titanic and Tacoma Bridge.
What causes disasters?
Dr Scott Steedman of the Royal Academy of Engineering sees one of the main causes of engineering disasters in what could be called the overdevelopment of original designs. "The boundaries are pushed too far. Concepts or designs are stretched making those that have been successful lighter, slimmer, longer or taller, so that sooner or later a mechanism comes into play which had not been anticipated originally. This was true in the case of the Tay Bridge and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge disasters.
"With very sophisticated computer programs you have something that looks exactly like the structure you are trying to build. It looks very whizz-bang, multi-coloured and fantastic but deep inside that computer model is an algorithm which will say how material is going to behave under certain conditions of stress and strain." However, without understanding how the algorithm has been constructed, "you may use the software and believe it, stretching your computer model into an area it should not go."
Steedman also sees a potential problem with teamwork - as with Challenger where information was not being passed on "through the chain of command to someone who realises the significance of the problem and can deal with it". He sees a further difficulty with teams where members are "all tackling the problem in their own way [so] it is not a coherent thing."

|A small selection of the many attractions to be found on Tenerife
This is just a small selection of the many attractions to be found on Tenerife, it's a good idea to buy your entrance tickets in Los Cristianos, this saves you having to queue to get in and don't forget there are free buses from Los Cristianos going to some of the closer attractions.
Tickets for Loro Parque are sold either with or without the coach travel. Be sure you have the correct ticket.
The world famous Loro Parque situated at Peuto de la Cruze should be at the top of any holiday must do list. This world class zoo houses some of the most exotic species of wild life in the world. Loro Parque is arguably one of the best kept wild life parks in Europe. Loro Parque also boasts the largest penguin populated iceberg outside of Antarctica as well as one of the best dolphinariums in Europe. All of these wonderful animals, birds and fish are really well looked after, with their natural habitat having been created down to the last detail with specialist vets and experts on hand twenty four hours a day.
Learn more about Loro Parque
|Tenerife's latest attraction Siam Park, is
situated on the outskirts of Costa Adeje about a 10 minute bus ride from
Los Cristianos and offers a wealth of attractions, with sea lions,
crocodiles and a massive children's jungle park and water rides of all types
including a kamikaze chute said to be the second largest in the world. There
is also a white sandy beach with waves for surfers,
tornado rides as well as the slow river rides for those of us that just want
to sit back and enjoy things at a slower pace.
There are free open top busses from Los Cristianos to Siam Park or it only takes 5 minuets by Taxi from our Tenerife holiday apartment.
|Another great day out in Tenerife is Aqualand at Costa Adeje about a 15 minute bus ride from Los Cristianos. A fun day out for kids of all ages. Don't forget to check out the dolphin show.
|Las Aguilas Park also known as Jungle Park is located just outside Los Cristianos with impressive birds of prey and exotic birds shows along with Europe's only jungle the weather in Tenerife allows this natural habitat where you can watch eagles and falcons flying free, the shows are conducted by an expert training team, you will be able to see the most exotic animals in their natural environment: tigers, alligators, monkeys and, of course, the white lions estimated to be only around 27 left in the world.
|Mount Teide maybe the most well known land mark on the island of Tenerife, whether you go on an organised trip or hire a car this is a great day out. Mount Teide dominates the landscape of Tenerife and is the highest mountain peak in the whole of Spain rising to 3718 metres above sea level. After getting as far as you can by road a cable car takes visitors the rest of the way to within 100 metres of the top weather permitting.
Another must see place for stunning scenery is Masca in the north west of the Island, said to be the place that time has forgot, the drive to Masca has some of the most beautiful scenery on the island of Tenerife but the drive is not for the faint hearted.
|From Los Cristianos harbour you can catch the Fred Olsen express catamaran to La Gomera, journey time around 40 minutes the catamaran leaves Los Cristianos to La Gomera and returns regularly every day. La Gomera has breathtaking scenery, the central mountain measures 1487 metres at its highest peak with magnificent gorges that run through the whole island reaching down to the sea with evergreen laurel forests, valleys of banana plantations, citrus fruits, rocks and cacti, all this adds up to form a unique landscape.
|Fred Olsen express Los Cristianos to La Gomera (San Sebastion) approximately 40 minutes crossing time.

The building at 3 St Mary's Passage that was the showrooms of F R Leach & Sons still stands, although now it is a clothes shop. The frontage has an 'Arts and Crafts' feel and the metal sign hanging proud of the building harks back to a time when shops would often advertise their presence via a 'pub like' sign at right angles to the facade.
There were plenty of iron works in Cambridge during the 19th century where such signs could have been made, including one on Market Hill, named Headly, that was destroyed by a fire in 1846, and subsequently moved to the Eagle Foundry off Mill Road. But the original F R Leach & Sons sign (sadly no longer there, although the replacement is thoughtfully done) would most probably have been fashioned in the firm's own metal workshop in City Road.

Merchants scrambled to meet Visa's deadline to reach Payment Card Industry
The nearly 330 retailers who qualify as Level One merchants, meaning they process more than six million credit card transactions each year, attempted to meet a 12-step standard by Sept. 30.
Forty percent of Level One merchants were compliant by July, according to Visa.
Two congressmen asked the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to investigate cyberattacks against government systems managed by Unisys.
Reps. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and James Langevin, D-R.I., sent a letter to Richard Skinner, DHS inspector general, indicating that DHS systems are being attacked by hackers.
In a statement, Unisys defended its record of protecting government systems.
A video created by the Idaho National Laboratory to simulate a cyberattack on an electrical grid was released to the press.
The video showed a hacker-controlled turbine shaking wildly until pieces broke off and plumes
of smoke filled a test lab.
Amit Yoran, chief executive officer, NetWitness, said, "The techniques, the methodologies, the insight and the belief that this is possible have existed."
The Canadian government, after an eight month study, determined that TJX collected and stored unnecessary amounts of data and relied on outdated encryption technology to protect personal information prior to its massive data breach.
The report also indicated that hackers initially gained access into the company's central database through two Marshalls locations in Miami, contrary to the widely believed theory that hackers gained the personal information from Minnesota locations.
TJX settled a lawsuit with customers by offering, in part, vouchers valued at $30 to $80, and a three-day sale.
Customers can also take advantage of a 72-hour sale.
"You've got to hand it to TJX," said Mary Monahan, partner and analyst with Javelin Strategy and Research. "They took the largest data breach in history and turned the conversation into offering $30 vouchers right before Christmas."

Promising Palms.
I realize that the rest of the blogosphere has already posted their Easter pictures and tales, but here I am, representing harried moms everywhere, just getting around to . . . Palm Sunday. Yes, I realize that most people aren't eagerly commemorating Palm Sunday, but ours contained such a sweet moment that I want to relive over and over. As a matter of fact, I am filing this moment in my "happy moment" bank. It's a new strategy I'm employing. My kids are screaming at each other, screaming at me, etc. and I pause, take a breath, relive a happy kid moment . . . and then I yell at them. It's a developing strategy – I'll keep you posted.
So Avery has been eagerly anticipating Palm Sunday for weeks. Yes, she's not your typical child, but for whatever reason, Palm Sunday is on her radar in a big way. She started in one week out, reminding us that Palm Sunday was rapidly approaching and gently reiterating that she does not like it when we miss Sunday School. In case you were judging my piousness by my frequent church attendance, it actually is a direct reflection of the amount of pressure applied by the AJS.
The big PS rolled around, and I dutifully made sure the kids were groomed slightly better than average since the entire congregation would watch them traipse down the aisle avec palms. This year marked Claire's first appearance at Palm Sunday, before always falling short of the age cutoff. Jerrod and I sat a little closer than usual and directly next to the aisle in order to watch our delicate flowers process. The doors opened, and the children started walking from the back of the church to the front. AJS appeared somewhat in the middle of the pack, palm waving, eyes scanning the congregation to find us. I whispered her name as she walked by, and she stopped the entire procession to give me an enthusiastic hug, which I interpreted as a "thanks Mom for not crushing my dreams by skipping church because I was born to wave this palm." Claire's class came last, and Claire came walking down the aisle hesitantly – but on her own. I didn't know if she would do it. For all her bravado, the CCS is very suspicious of new situations. When Claire walked past us, I ducked down in the aisle and avoided eye contact. Totally normal behavior. But I was convinced that if she saw me, she would make a hard right into my lap.
Once they all made it to the front of the church, the kids sat on the steps. Claire immediately found Avery and sat next to her. And here comes the sweet stuff – brace yourselves. The kids sat and listened to a short children's sermon, and as I strained to see my nuggets, I saw Claire, still looking bewildered, and Avery sitting next to her, holding Claire's hand and reassuringly patting her on the stomach. And it was working. Claire looked comforted. I'm not sure why exactly the AJS selected stomach-patting as her method of comforting. I have even tried patting my own stomach to see if it's soothing (not soothing). But that tiny, tender moment between my daughters got me. My children have been such opposites from day one, which causes a fair amount of head-butting. So witnessing that honest moment of love expressed and love received hit me right in the heart. But don't worry, the sweetness was short-lived. Directly following the children's message, the kids stood up and sang a song. I don't think Claire's class was supposed to sing, but when the CCS saw Avery stand up and sing, Claire immediately popped up next to her and started fervently mouthing words in an exaggerated manner. Cue shattering of touching moment, which was quickly replaced with "yes, that's my child" head-shaking. But even the lip-synching made me hopeful. Maybe Avery will be part of Claire's roadmap for life?
Hope your Palm Sunday was similarly sweet. Up next, Easter pics. I promise.

Love this story. Thanks for sharing with us! I became a "Palm" on the eve of Palm Sunday so it has a special place for me as well. I think AJS and I are kindred spirits 🙂

Michelle Weiss and Jeff Wolf are among a handful of Michiganders who were happy to see freezing temperatures return to the state this week.
That's because both are involved in the Mount Clemens Ice Carving Show taking place Friday through Sunday in the city's downtown.
'We are so happy about the weather,' said Wolf, an executive chef and culinary arts instructor at Macomb Community College. 'I tell people I'm praying for cold and cloudy weather and they look at me with disdain.'
Temperatures are expected to be in the mid 20-degree range Friday and close to freezing on Saturday, with a chance of snow and warming up to about 34 degrees on Sunday.
In January, unusually warm weather for Michigan forced some communities to cancel or alter winter festival activities.
Organizers of the ice carving show in Mount Clemens were ready to make changes as a precaution, until Mother Nature stepped in.
'I hate to say it, but I've been praying for temperatures to drop,' said Weiss, of the Downtown Development Authority. 'We have 50 blocks of ice for the ice carvers, so this will be our biggest show yet.'
Wolf and his team of professional ice carvers will present demonstrations at the Fountain Stage on Macomb Place from noon to 6 p.m. Friday, noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and noon to 2 p.m. Sunday.
From there, sculptures will be placed around town at Cherry Street Mall and Macomb Place for the weekend. The works are sponsored by various businesses, organizations or individuals.
Many businesses will host warming stations and sipping stations throughout the festival to offer visitors a place to warm up and relax.
Also, the Indoor Kids Wonderland Warming Center will be in full swing with appearances featuring Cinderella and friends, a life-size Candyland game, puppet show and puppet making, face painting, carnival games and refreshments.
The Indoor Kids Wonderland Warming Center will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. A kids continental breakfast with Cinderella and Iron Man will be available for $5 from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday and Sunday.
The Indoor Kids Wonderland is at 70 Macomb Place, with building owner Guy Rizzo providing the room at no charge.
The event is sponsored by Theut Products of Chesterfield Township, Mount Clemens Downtown Development Authority, the City of Mount Clemens, and The Macomb Daily.

Imagine Dragons unloaded their new single "Believer" on Tuesday (January 31st) after teasing fans about the new track late last week on Twitter. "First things first, Imma say all the words inside my head/ I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been," vocalist Dan Reynolds sings in the opening verse, his words sounding closer to a rap or spoken word with the way he's structured them. ~Graham

But the amazing vehicle could also cater to any multi-millionaire or global superstar on the road. It's also available in white (shown here).

This is where the driver sits on the top floor
The eleMMent can expand at the touch of a button to give riders more interior space
And there's a drop down staircase and pop up sky lounge at the top
Complete with couches and a table for guests

There are many millions of people that are experiencing low back pain, also known as witch stab, Hexen schuss, and Lumbago.
Most of the blood vessels, ligaments, muscles and nerves in the body are connected with all of the 33 vertebrae ( 4 coccyx, 5 lumbar, 5 sacrum, 7 cervical and 12 thoracic) of the spine.
The correct posture of the body is maintained with the help of the spinal cord which goes through the spine together with the nerve roots of the arms and legs.
The spine has high risk of damaging due to its constant mechanical action of the load such as twisting, shear, pressure, bending and strain, and it is performing a lot of functions.
Separate movements are performed with different parts of the spine, and it enables low mobility of the breast are and also high mobility of the neck. Pain can also be caused as a result of degenerative changes which are caused with the transition of one to another part of the spine.
People who are more likely to suffer from low back pain are those with congenital spine anomalies or spine injuries, older men who are undergoing degenerative process, patients suffering from osteoporosis, and individuals that have sitting jobs and hard physical jobs.
There are many studies that prove the benefits of the herb comfrey in cases of low back pain problems. The herb comfrey grows in ditches near the water, meadows and wet fields, and it is big beet like root and it has hairy leaves.
The herb comfrey has been commonly used even since the ancient times. It can also be found as a gel, and it treats the pain caused from dislocation of the joint in the knee and osteoarthritis.
These claims have also been confirmed from the results of a study which was conducted by the German Sports University, and it included 120 participants who suffered from upper and lower back pain.
These participants got a comfrey root ointment for 5 days, and they all stated that their pain had significantly been reduced.
It is not recommended to use it as supplements and capsules, because it can cause damage to the liver.
If you are experiencing any kind of back pain, you must be physically active. You can do stretching exercises like the one that is explained below, and it will soothe your pain very fast:
Supine Hamstring Stretch
The starting position is to lie on your back, and place a rolled up towel or a strap around the ball of the foot, and then bend the right knee towards the chest. Stretch the leg upwards, toward the ceiling and then use both heels to press out through them.
If your lower back is strained, place your foot on the ground and bend the left knee.
Remain in this position for about 3-5 minutes and do the same with the left leg. Do this exercise every day and you will soon feel all the benefits from it.

Oct. 30, 1915: Sir Charles Tupper died at Bexleyheath (London) England at the age of 94. Born in Amherst in 1821, Tupper was educated at Horton Academy and later pursued medical studies at the Edinburgh Medical School. He began his medical practice in Amherst and would become the first president of the Canadian Medical Association. He later served as the Conservative party premier of the Colony of Nova Scotia from 1864-67, and successfully led Nova Scotia into Confederation against the Anti-Confederation Party that had been organized by Joseph Howe. While premier of Nova Scotia, he notably established public education across the province and also encouraged the expansion of the Nova Scotia railway system. However, he would later resign and join the federal Conservative government of John A. Macdonald, serving in a number of federal cabinet positions. At the age of 74, Tupper became prime minister of Canada on May 1, 1896. However, he never sat in Parliament while in office as Parliament was dissolved a month later for a federal election. Tupper's Conservative government lost to Wilfrid Laurier and the Liberals, but he would remain as the leader of the opposition till 1900. After taking up residence in England he published his memoirs, Recollections of Sixty Years, in 1914. Following a state funeral, Tupper was interred at the St. John's Cemetery in Halifax where today many vehicles unknowingly pass his resting place every day near the Windsor Street exchange. Sir Charles Tupper was the last remaining Father of Confederation.

Oct. 31, 1930: The Capitol Theatre opened in Halifax at the corner of Barrington and Spring Garden Road (later the location of the Maritime Centre). Before the Capitol Theatre, this location was home to the Academy of Music, was renamed the Majestic in 1918, and was home to countless musical and theatre productions for more than 50 years.
Nov. 1, 1956: An underground explosion occurred at Springhill's No. 4 colliery, 1,900 metres down. Thirty-nine miners were killed, leaving 88 miners trapped, who were later rescued. This was one of the first disasters with on-site radio broadcast reporting. Two years later, on Oct. 23, 1958, a "bump" occurred in the No. 2 colliery mine, where 174 men were working 1,200 metres underground, killing 75 men.
Nov. 1, 2001: St. John's Anglican Church in Lunenburg was destroyed by fire. The historic church (completed in 1763) was later rebuilt from donations from across the country and around the world. In 1998, the church had been designated a National Historic Site. Canada's oldest Presbyterian (St. Andrew's, 1754) and Lutheran (Zion's, 1772) churches are also in Lunenburg.
Nov. 2, 1836: Simon d'Entremont (Argyle) and Frederick Armand Robicheau (Annapolis) became the first French Acadians to be elected to the Nova Scotia General Assembly (the 15th Assembly, 1836-40). D'Entremont married twice, had nine children from each marriage, and left more than 136 descendents.
Nov. 3, 1937: Coal miner, labour leader, farmer and journalist James B. McLachlan died in Glace Bay, age 68. He had arrived in Canada in 1902 and began work at the Princess Colliery in Sydney Mines. He later became a local leader of the Provincial Workmen's Association, which had been established in 1879. On the 149th anniversary of the death of Robert Burns, he wrote in the Halifax Herald in January 1908, "The greatest political question of this century is how to distribute the enormous wealth that the ingenuity of the last century enables the world now to produce."
