What should I ask Samantha Power?
I will be having a Conversations with Tyler with her, no associated public event. She has a new book coming out The Education of an Idealist: A Memoir. So what should I ask her?
*Me the People: How Populism Transforms Democracy*
By Nadia Urbinati, I think of this book as the next step after Martin Gurri. Here is one bit:
…the massive usage of the internet — which is an affordable and revolutionary means of interaction and information sharing by ordinary citizens — has supercharged the horizontal transformation of the audience and made the public into the only existing political actor outside institutions born from civil society.
But more significantly, populism is so diverse and the word is so often misused, how should we best understand it? First, by breaking down parties, the new internet populism raises the status of personalized individual leaders, such as Trump and also AOC. Thus:
…populism in power is actually a new form of mixed government in which one part of the population achieves a preeminent power over the other(s). As such, populism competes with (and, if possible, modifies) constitutional democracy in putting forth a specific and distinctive representation of the people and the sovereignty of the people.
Populism also has a hard time giving up power, because the rhetoric is purifying, and the pretense is that the current government does in fact represent a more or less unitary "will of the people," enemies of the people aside of course. Elections are about revealing a majority opinion that (supposedly) already exists, and thus populism does not fit entirely easy into standard democratic practice.
Here is more:
As such, populism is more than merely a movement of contestation or mobilization, and it should not be confused with social movements in civil society. Populism is a movement of contestation against the existing political establishment, but one that seeks a majority that would rule with unchecked ambitions and plan to remain power for as long as possible, though without revoking political liberty or eliminating adversaries. The "benign" aspects of populism in power include its dwarfing of the opposition and minorities by humiliating them and creating an overwhelming propaganda campaign that endlessly reinforces the power of majority opinion.
Populism is not just a style of politics, so you can't expect a successful and truly left-wing populism, nor will populists end up as a successful vehicle for "right-wing" ideas either. Beware!
There is too much political science jargon in this book, and many of the paragraphs are too long or too circuitous, and furthermore much of the best content is difficult to summarize. Nonetheless this book makes more sense to me than the treatments of populism I read in the mainstream press or in "intelligent" magazines, and I found it genuinely insightful throughout. Recommended, at least if you are up for a particular kind of read. You can pre-order the book here.
What I've been reading
1. Christopher Tyerman, The World of the Crusades: An Illustrated History. The best and most engrossing history of the crusades I have read. By the way, the "children's crusade" probably didn't have that much to do with children. The periodic topic-specific two-page interludes are especially good.
2. Tobias Straumann, 1931: Debt, Crisis, and the Rise of Hitler covers a critical episode in European history, and one which has not entirely faded into irrelevance. The author is a financial historian rather than an economist, so think of this book as scratching your history itch, in any case recommended.
3. Jim Auchmutey, Smokelore: A Short History of Barbecue in America is the most current of the best histories of barbecue and it is more bullish on the barbecue future than most treatments.
4. Chris Miller, The Struggle to Save the Soviet Economy: Mikhail Gorbachev and the Collapse of the Soviet Economy. One of the best books on the beginnings of the reform era, with a special focus on whether the Soviets could have chosen a Chinese path (no, too many embedded interest groups, so does that mean Mao is underrated?).
5. Katherine Eban, Bottle of Lies: The Inside Story of the Generic Drug Boom. A "worth reading" look at what the title promises, but all the best parts are about how the FDA tries to regulate generic drug production in India.
6. Roger L. Geiger, American Higher Education Since World War II. Not as sprightly as I might have wished for, nor does it cover the controversial issues in the conceptual fashion I was hoping to find, but nonetheless an extremely useful resources for teaching you the basic facts of how the sector has evolved.
New out from Princeton University Press is Robert J. Shiller, Narrative Economics: How Stories Go Viral & Drive Major Economic Events.
There is Heather Boushey's new How Inequality Constricts Our Economy and What We Can Do About It.
Yale has published a new translation of Book of Job, translated by Edward L. Greenstein, very likely worth a read.
My favorite things New Hampshire
1. Musician. I don't love Steve Tyler/Aerosmith, so what am I left with?
2. Author: I find John Irving unreadable, so does it come down to Russell Banks? Who else is there? Salinger lived in New Hampshire for a long time, so I'll pick him, though it is also pretty far from my favorite. Here is my Catcher in the Rye review.
3. Sculptor: August Saint-Gaudens.
"Law Supported by Power and Love"
4. Adam Sandler movie: The Waterboy, Happy Gilmore.
5. Poet: Robert Frost, who seems to be clear winner for the whole state. There is a scholastic version of Frost which is quite dull, don't be put off if that is all you know of him.
6. Movie director: Brian DePalma, Dressed to Kill and Mission to Mars being my favorites.
7. Painter: Maxfield Parrish. I feel I'm being forced into many of these choices — I simply can't think of anyone else.
8. Secretary of the Treasury: Salmon P. Chase. Chase is one of the few people to have had a major position in the executive branch, served in Congress, and sat on the Supreme Court.
9. Free trade economist: Douglas Irwin.
The bottom line: For all of my grumbling, for such a small state it does pretty well.
*Escape from Rome*
The author is Walter Scheidel and the subtitle is The Failure of Empire and the Road to Prosperity. Imagine a whole book on what he calls "the second Great Divergence," namely that China developed a large, relatively unified hegemonic state early on, while Europe remained (mostly) politically fragmented.
Have you ever wondered why the Roman empire did not, in some manner, re-form in the Western part of Europe? And how did it matter that China had a tradition of having to defend against the steppe while Europe did not? Here is one brief excerpt:
…East Asia was characterized by a unipolar or hegemonic political system for 68 percent of the years between 220 BCE and 1875. This pattern presents a stark contrast to the prevalence of a balanced system in Europe for 98 percent of the years from 1500 to 2000, or indeed at any time after the demise of the mature Roman empire.
Remoteness from the bulk of the Eurasian steppe was a constant, invariant across Europen history. Just as it did not matter if Latin Europe's states were weak, it also did not matter if a large empire was in place. Unlike Chinese dynasties, the Roman empire did not bring forth a nomadic "shadow empire": there was no ecological potential for it. The Pontic steppe, where Sarmatian tribes might have coalesced in response to the inducements of Roman wealth, was too detached from the Roman heartlands that lay behind the Carpathians, the Alps, and the Adriatic. To the west of the plains of Eastern Europe, both components of the "steppe effect" were conspicuous by their absence: and so — at least after Rome — was empire-building on a large scale.
If you wish to read a book to ponder the second Great Divergence, this is the one. You can pre-order it here.
*The Body: A Guide for Occupants*
That is the title of the new Bill Bryson book, and it delivers in all the ways you would expect a Bryson book to do. Here is one sample paragraph:
Before penicillin, the closest thing to a wonder drug that existed was Salvarsan, developed by the German immunologist Paul Ehrlich in 1910, but Salvarsan was effective against only a few things, principally syphilis, and had a lot of drawbacks. For a start, it was made from arsenic, so was toxic, and treatment consisted in injecting roughly a pint of solution into the patient's arm once a week for fifty weeks or more. If it wasn't administered exactly right, fluid could seep into muscle, causing painful and sometimes serious side effects, including the need for amputation. Doctors who could administer it safely became celebrated. Ironically, one of the most highly regarded was Alexander Fleming.
By the way:
…the average grave is visited for only about fifteen years…
You can pre-order the book here, I would be interested to read more about Bryson's work, writing, and research habits.
My Conversation with Neal Stephenson
Here is the transcript and audio, and here is the CWT summary:
If you want to speculate on the development of tech, no one has a better brain to pick than Neal Stephenson. Across more than a dozen books, he's created vast story worlds driven by futuristic technologies that have both prophesied and even provoked real-world progress in crypto, social networks, and the creation of the web itself. Though Stephenson insists he's more often wrong than right, his technical sharpness has even led to a half-joking suggestion that he might be Satoshi Nakamoto, the shadowy creator of bitcoin. His latest novel, Fall; or, Dodge in Hell, involves a more literal sort of brain-picking, exploring what might happen when digitized brains can find a second existence in a virtual afterlife.
So what's the implicit theology of a simulated world? Might we be living in one, and does it even matter? Stephenson joins Tyler to discuss the book and more, including the future of physical surveillance, how clothing will evolve, the kind of freedom you could expect on a Mars colony, whether today's media fragmentation is trending us towards dystopia, why the Apollo moon landings were communism's greatest triumph, whether we're in a permanent secular innovation starvation, Leibniz as a philosopher, Dickens and Heinlein as writers, and what storytelling has to do with giving good driving directions.
Here is one excerpt:
COWEN: If we had a Mars colony, how politically free do you think it would be? Or would it just be like perpetual martial law? Like living on a nuclear submarine?
STEPHENSON: I think it would be a lot like living on a nuclear submarine because you can't — being in space is almost like being in an intensive care unit in a hospital, in the sense that you're completely dependent on a whole bunch of machines working in order to keep you alive. A lot of what we associate with freedom, with personal freedom, becomes too dangerous to contemplate in that kind of environment.
COWEN: Is there any Heinlein-esque-like scenario — Moon is a Harsh Mistress, where there's a rebellion? People break free from the constraints of planet Earth. They chart their own institutions. It becomes like the settlements in the New World were.
STEPHENSON: Well, the settlements in the New World, I don't think are a very good analogy because there it was possible — if you're a white person in the New World and you have some basic skills, you can go anywhere you want.
An unheralded part of what happened there is that, when those people got into trouble, a lot of times, they were helped out by the indigenous peoples who were already there and who knew how to do stuff. None of those things are true in a space colony kind of environment. You don't have indigenous people who know how to get food and how to get shelter. You don't have that ability to just freely pick up stakes and move about.
COWEN: What will people wear in the future? Say a hundred years from now, will clothing evolve at all?
STEPHENSON: I think clothing is pretty highly evolved, right? If you look at, yeah, at any garment, say, a shirt — I was ironing a shirt today in my hotel room, and it is a frickin' complicated object. We take it for granted, but you think about the fabric, the way the seams are laid out.
That's just one example, of course, but you take any — shirts, shoes, any kind of specific item of clothing you want to talk about — once you take it apart and look at all the little decisions and innovations that have gone into it, it's obvious that people have been optimizing this thing for hundreds or thousands of years.
New materials come along that enable people to do new kinds of things with clothing, but overall, I don't think that a lot is going to change.
COWEN: Is there anything you would want smart clothing to do for you that, say, a better iPad could not?
STEPHENSON: The thing about clothing is that you change your clothes all the time. So if you become dependent on a particular technology that's built into your shirt, that's great as long as you're wearing that shirt, but then as soon as you change to a different shirt, you don't have it.
So what are you going to do? Are you going to make sure that every single one of your shirts has that same technology built into it? It seems easier to have it separate from the clothing that you wear, so that you don't have to think about all those complications.
There is much more at the link, including discussions of some of his best-known novels…
Pessoa, *Philosophical Essays*
The half-sceptic speaks like Socrates, I know only that I know nothing. The whole sceptic speaks like Francisco Sanches: Haud scio me nihil scire, I do not even know if I know nothing.
The end of reason is a weariness of thinking. Yet reason is so strong that even its weariness is a part of its strength and we dream rationally if we have learnt reason.
Those bits are from this (uneven) volume.
*Fentanyl, Inc.*, by Ben Westhoff
The slightly misleading subtitle is How Rogue Chemists are Creating the Deadliest Wave of the Opioid Epidemic. Why misleading? So many substance abuse books are a mix of hysterical in tone and a disappointing "paint by numbers" in their execution, but this one really stands out for its research, journalism, and overall analysis. To give just one example, it is also a great book on China, and how China and the Chinese chemicals industry works, backed up by extensive original investigation.
Start with this:
Americans take more opioids per capita — legitimate and illegitimate uses combined — than any other country in the world. Canada is second, and both far outstrip Europe. Americans take four times as many opioids as people do in the United Kingdom.
And this:
For many years, Chinese organized-crime groups known as triads have been involved in the international meth trade. But experts familiar with triads say their influence appears to be waning in the fentanyl era. "They're a shadow of their former selves," said Justin Hastings, an associate professor in international relations and comparative politics at the University of Sydney…Though ad hoc criminal organizations continue to move drugs in China, major trafficking organizations are rare there, and cartels basically nonexistent. This leaves the market wide open for Chinese chemical companies, who benefit from an air of legitimacy.
As for marijuana and cocaine, they are used by only about one in every forty thousand individuals in China. But the book covers the entire U.S. history as well.
Definitely recommended, this will be making my year-end "best of" list for non-fiction. And yes I did go and buy his earlier book on West Coast rap music.
*The Narrow Corridor: States, Societies, and the Fate of Liberty*, the new Acemoglu and Robinson book
Due out in September, by Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson, here is an excerpt from the Amazon summary:
State institutions have to evolve continuously as the nature of conflicts and needs of society change, and thus society's ability to keep state and rulers accountable must intensify in tandem with the capabilities of the state. This struggle between state and society becomes self-reinforcing, inducing both to develop a richer array of capacities just to keep moving forward along the corridor. Yet this struggle also underscores the fragile nature of liberty. It is built on a fragile balance between state and society, between economic, political, and social elites and citizens, between institutions and norms. One side of the balance gets too strong, and as has often happened in history, liberty begins to wane. Liberty depends on the vigilant mobilization of society. But it also needs state institutions to continuously reinvent themselves in order to meet new economic and social challenges that can close off the corridor to liberty.

A simple American tale of travel and books
At Colorado Springs airport, on my way to Denver:
TSA official at security [pre-check, for that matter]: "We have to search your carry-on, it is suspicious that you have so many books."
They searched every book.
TC: "Thank you, sir!"
I had fewer books in my carry-on than usual.
The heaviest book I had was Vasily Grossman's Stalingrad, which is why I had fewer books than usual.
My Conversation with Eric Kaufmann
Interesting and excellent throughout, here is the audio and transcript. Eric is political scientist at Birkbeck College in London and the author of the recent Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration, and the Future of White Majorities. Here is part of the opening summary:
Kauffman's latest book Whiteshift, which examines how declining white ethnic majorities will respond to these changes, is on Tyler's list as one of the best books of the year. The two discuss the book and more, including Orangeism in Northern Ireland, Switzerland's secret for stability, what Tocqueville got most wrong about America, predictions on Brexit's final form, why Portugal seems immune from populism, how Notre Dame should be rebuilt, whether the Amish — or Mormons — will take over the world, and much more.
Here is one excerpt:
COWEN: Do conservative Muslims also have a much higher fertility rate?
KAUFMANN: The gradient between very conservative and sort of secular and liberal is not as strong in Islam as it is in Judaism or Christianity, but it's about a twice higher fertility for women who are most in favor of Sharia compared to those who are most opposed to Sharia, in the cities. So I do think there is also this dynamic within Islam, yes.
COWEN: If we look at a country such as Iran, which now has a very low total fertility rate, is that a sign they're not actually very religious? Or there's something unusual about religion in Iran? What accounts for that?
COWEN: Which group of French Muslims has assimilated most successfully and why?
KAUFMANN: Well, the outmarriage rate is almost 50 percent for French Algerian men, but even across the Franco-Algerian community, I think it's in the 40 to 50 percent outmarriage —
COWEN: And they're marrying ethnically white French women?
KAUFMANN: Right, or men. I think part of this stems from Algeria in its history. You have a large Berber population in Algeria, many of whom are anti the regime. They're anti the Arab-Islamist regime. So they're actually quite secular in many ways.
That's part of it, but even amongst the Moroccans in France, there's quite a high outmarriage rate of like 40 percent. So yeah, the French Muslims do seem to be melting in better than Muslims even of the same ethnicity. Compared to Moroccans in the Netherlands, for example, there's a much higher outmarriage in France.
COWEN: And that's the Berber factor, in your view?
KAUFMANN: I think it is the Berber factor. I don't think there's anything magical that the French are doing that the Dutch are not in terms of integration policy. I think too much is made of that.
COWEN: What's the most plausible scenario for Irish reunification?
KAUFMANN: I think the most plausible scenario is that Northern Ireland Protestants don't have the same hostility to the Republic that they have traditionally had, so maybe a kind of charm offensive.
In a way, the unionist population is the one they have to win over. They are kind of foursquare against reunification. Somehow, the Irish Republic has to find a way to reassure them. That's going to be the ticket to reunification, but it'll never really happen just through economic integration. I think there's got to be something symbolic that will win over the unionists.
COWEN: So there'll be more of a turn against immigration?
KAUFMANN: Yeah.
COWEN: In Canada.
KAUFMANN: Yes, and immigration attitudes are now very different, depending if you're a Conservative or a Liberal voter. That didn't use to be the case even five years ago, so there is more of a politicization of that issue now.
Recommended, and I found all of Eric's books very interesting as well.
*The Impeachers*
This fun book, by Brenda Wineapple, has the subtitle The Trial of Andrew Johnson and the Dream of a Just Nation. Excerpt:
"The long haired men and cadaverous females of New England think you are horrid," Johnson's secretary reported to him. "I had a conversation with an antique female last night, in the course of which she declared that she hoped you would be impeached. Said I 'Why should he be impeached — what has he done that he should be impeached?' ' Well,' replied she, 'he hasn't done anything yet, but I hope to God he will.'"

*Amazing Decisions: The Illustrated Guide to Improving Business Deals and Family Meals*
That is the new and forthcoming graphic novel by Dan Ariely, illustrated by Matt R. Trower.
I am never quite sure how to evaluate graphic novels with non-fiction content, but the creators of this one do indeed deliver what you might be expecting from it. You can pre-order here.
*The Food of Sichuan*, by Fuchsia Dunlop
A new and considerably updated edition of the classic Land of Plenty. For my money, one of the best and most valuable books ever produced. Pre-order here. And here is my Conversation with Fuchsia Dunlop.


text:
In renal failure, there are no consistent major alterations in coagulation factors or tests, no impairment of fibrinolysis, and no reduction in platelet production. However, prolongation of the bleeding time correlates with clinical bleeding, and impaired aggregation, adhesion, and interaction of platelets with the vessel wall underlie the primary hemostatic defect in uremia (Zach.ee.eLa.1 1994). The pathogenesis of this platelet dysfunction is multifactorial, and defects in calcium homeostasis, purine nucleotide metabolism, prostaglandin production, and secondary hyperparathyroidism have been implicated. The prolonged bleeding time can be shortened by elevation of the hematocrit above 0.35, infusion of cryoprecipitate (enriched in factor VIII), or the administration of deamino-D-arginine vasopressin (0.3 pg/kg intravenously over 30 min or subcutaneously) which increases levels of circulating von Willebrand factor but may be relatively contraindicated in patients with critical coronary or cerebrovascular disease. Conjugated estrogens, which produce a longer-lasting reduction in bleeding time, are also used.

Guest post by Catherine McCrum - Part 3
Recently I was out on a hack with a friend. She was asking about Feldenkrais and how it applied to riding. She had observed me having lessons with my trainer and was struck by my ability to easily move my body in a particular direction or with a certain quality.
I explained that Feldenkrais lessons improve the quality of our action and that we can apply the experience of moving better to our riding. She looked puzzled.
'Take the other day when you were jumping,' I said, 'and you complained you had no idea what your lower leg was doing until you saw a video of yourself afterwards. Feldenkrais lessons give you the opportunity to develop awareness of how each part of your body is co-ordinating in relationship to other parts. When you lost awareness of how your lower leg was moving, it was as a consequence of not understanding how to balance yourself optimally in your whole body. It's not enough just to correct your leg - you need to improve your sensory understanding of how all the parts of you - your hip joints, pelvis and spine, even your head and eyes - relate, connect and influence each other.
'Shouldn't I just stretch my legs? My calves are so tight.' she replied.
'Flexibility is important, but being flexible doesn't necessarily improve your riding. If you want to do anything well, you need to improve your sensory understanding of how to balance yourself in motion, to know instantly how to co-ordinate your body at the right time, and to feel accurately where you are in space at any given moment. When we get back, let's do a lesson and maybe I can show you what I mean,' I suggested.
I asked my friend to sit on the edge of a firm chair and requested that she pay close attention to the contact of her feet on the floor, to which parts of each foot were bearing her weight and to compare how they differed from each other.
'That's weird!' she exclaimed. 'I never realised I had more weight on the outside of my left foot than on the inside. And my right foot feels completely different. It's as though that foot is just one clump of bone, whereas on the left I can feel more parts.' She laughed. 'Maybe I have more bones in my left foot.'
I explained it was her ability to feel these small differences that might give her the opportunity to learn how to move in a different way so she could ride in the way she wanted to.
Then I asked her to lift the inside of her left foot away from the floor and return it several times, at all times observing how this movement of her foot 'traveled' through her ankle, the way her tibia turned, and how this turning affected her left leg and hip joint. I suggested she do this slowly and mindfully so she could give herself time to sense, as accurately as possible, the quality of this movement through her whole leg.
'Wow! When I do that, my left knee falls out a little bit and I can feel my leg turns out in the hip joint.' She paused and did the movement a few more times. 'Now I come to think of it, the left side of my pelvis feels farther behind my right. No wonder my horse struggles to stay straight.'
I suggested she continue to play with this simple movement of her foot while scanning internally how her torso - her spine, chest and shoulders - responded.
'Ok,' she said. 'Now I can feel that when I lift my left foot just a tiny amount, my left shoulder goes backward.'
'And your right shoulder?'
'That goes forward.' She paused and looked thoughtful. 'So, are you saying that when instructors have told me to straighten my shoulders, it would be impossible for me to maintain the correction unless I change something in my left foot?'
'Yes' I replied. 'Your shoulders are the symptom, not the problem. And each symptom is situated in a whole pattern of movement. When you bring the whole of this pattern into your awareness, you give yourself the opportunity to change it.'
I went on to explain that if she learned how to move and her feet, ankles and lower legs in all the directions that the bones and joints allowed, this would impact her ability to co-ordinate her hip joints, pelvis and spine. This, in turn, would help her make the subtle adjustments necessary to aid her horse to move in any direction with ease. She would develop a dynamic seat.
'So, Feldenkrais is about learning? Not about exercising, strengthening or stretching your muscles?' she asked.
'Yes. Really, it's a method in which you learn about yourself, a process of developing self-awareness. Put simply, you learn to sense the unconscious movement patterns which limit your ability to move how you would like to, so that you can understand how to inhibit them and therefore have a repertoire of better options available to you.'
' Hmm…So it's nothing like traditional knowledge-based learning in which you analyse your mistakes?'
'No. For example, we Feldenkrais practitioners like to say: "More will, less skill". Which implies that the more you try to change, to force improvements and to correct yourself, the more you end up reinforcing your faulty patterns.'
'And correcting myself like that has always felt like such hard work,' she said. 'And it never sticks.'
'Yes,' I replied. 'And if you're working that hard, it's very difficult to develop the "feel" you see in great riders and performers. "Feel" is really a word for having the amazing awareness which enables those riders to know exactly how to move with precisely the right amount of effort and quality for the situation in hand.'
'So, what you're saying is Feldenkrais is about learning to do less, so that you can feel what you're doing that isn't helping you? Then you can develop better ways of moving that allow you to do what you want with ease?'
I laughed. 'You've hit the nail on the head! I think I should get you to explain the method in future.'
Stay tuned for the next part in this series to read about what Catherine did next…
About Catherine: Catherine McCrum now participates as an Assistant Teacher in our Artistic Dressage Online Courses Program. She is an accredited Feldenkrais practitioner and has been teaching sport, fitness and movement since 1986 as first a ski instructor/coach and then as a Personal Trainer. In 2002 she finished her Feldenkrais training. She is also a rider and is joining us in this course to help you learn how to recognize how the way you use your body can be interfering with your ability to progress in your riding. She is also a Gestalt psychotherapist with a particular interest in working with developing awareness of how her clients embody their emotional and psychological patterns.

Unemployment benefit schemes formed a major part of Congress' poll promises in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh
Moneycontrol News
The Congress governments in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan are preparing to roll out unemployment welfare scheme in their respective states, The Economic Times has reported.
The move comes amidst a raging debate on unemployment after an NSSO report revealed the unemployment rate at a four-decade high.
According to the report by Economic Times, the new scheme, a poll promise, will start from March 1. The newly-formed governments have already started registering unemployed youngsters to register for the sop.
Christened as Yuva Swabhiman Yojana in Madhya Pradesh, the programme has been linked to services in the state, according to the report. This means that while the government would provide those eligible with a minimum income of Rs 4,000, it would also provide 100-day guaranteed employment.
According to the report, the government would train those who have registered and been found eligible for the scheme for jobs like water bill collection and electricity meter reading. This, according to the report, is to ensure beneficiaries get skill training on the job along with minimum pay.
The MP government plans to start a missed call service this week to allow those seeking employment benefits to register with the government, after which the beneficiary would be called for document verification on an appointed date. If found eligible, apart from employment benefits, the beneficiary would also be entitled to a technical education module.
On the other hand, the report states that the scheme formulated by the government in Rajasthan does not offer an opportunity with the state services. It instead plans to dole out an unemployment allowance of Rs 3,000 for men and Rs 3,500 for women from families whose income is less than Rs 2 lakh per annum.
The allowance would be directly transferred to beneficiaries in their bank accounts from March 1, according to the report.Unemployment benefit schemes formed a major part of Congress' poll promises in both the states. While Chhattisgarh government had also promised unemployment allowance, according to a government spokesperson quoted by the newspaper, the "modalities" of the programme are still being worked out.The Great Diwali Discount!

Getting rid of arm fat quickly may seem daunting, but it is doable! While you can't get rid of just arm fat, you can eliminate fat overall which will make your arms smaller. Aim to do muscle-building exercises 3 times a week for a total of 90 minutes to tone your arms. Burn fat by adding at least 75-150 minutes of moderate to strenuous aerobic exercise to your week as well. Address any health problems that might be contributing to the buildup of arm fat, and make an effort to sleep more and eat a healthy diet.
Now for the real solution: a 20-minute workout you can do at home. No commute to the health club, no traffic, no packing the gym bag, no waiting for the power rack to open up. Below is a great, quick workout you can do at home (or in a hotel room if you're on the road) that focuses on the legs, chest and abs. It requires no equipment and, if done with purpose, is intense enough to give you a great pump and shock your system something fierce. Give it a try next time you're trapped at home and have the training itch.
Endorphins are hormones in the brain associated with a happy, positive feeling. A low level of endorphins is associated with depression. During exercise, plasma levels of this substance increase. This may help to ease symptoms of depression. A recent National Health and Nutrition survey found that physically active people were half as likely to be depressed.
Protein and fat loss go hand in hand. This nutrient supports muscle growth and raises your metabolism, making it easier to slim down. It also promotes satiety and reduces hunger, so you'll eat less without even realizing it. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition states that high-protein diets can positively impact appetite, cardiometabolic risk factors, body weight and other factors.
Lie on your back with the knees bent and feet hip-width apart. Place arms at your side and lift up the spine and hips. Only the head, feet, arms, and shoulders should be on the ground. Then lift one leg upwards, keeping the core tight. Slowly bring the leg back down, then lift back up. Try to do 10 reps per leg, then bring the knee in place and spine back on the floor.
This may be the most worthwhile reason for exercising there is. Studies have shown how people who exercise are at a significantly reduced risk of developing dementia like Alzheimer's disease. And even for people who start exercising relatively late in life, brain volume can actually increase over time, as can scores on memory tests, compared to people who don't exercise (their brains shrunk over time, which is normal part of aging).
Countless studies show that many types of exercise, from walking to cycling, make people feel better and can even relieve symptoms of depression. Exercise triggers the release of chemicals in the brain—serotonin, norepinephrine, endorphins, dopamine—that dull pain, lighten mood and relieve stress. "For years we focused almost exclusively on the physical benefits of exercise and really have ignored the psychological and emotional benefits of being regularly active," says Cedric Bryant, chief science officer of the American Council on Exercise.
Commit to a 7-day meal plan. Create a 7-day meal plan that covers 3 main meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), scheduled at the same time of day, and 2 small snacks (between breakfast and lunch, and lunch and dinner), scheduled at the same time of day. A set meal plan will ensure you eat at a consistent time every day and do not skip or miss a meal. Consuming about 1,400 calories a day, combined with exercise, can help you to achieve healthy weight loss.[11]
Currently doing the 30 day abs, thighs, and arms workout (I tend to the arms and thighs in the morning, and then abs at night) and I'm loving it so far. I've just finished the beginners 2.0 calender and I've been watching what I eat, and I can feel the change. Maybe not completely visibly – although I am noticing some stretch marks on my stomach fading a lot more – but mentally I feel more happy, more energetic, and more determined to loose weight.
When it comes to these pushups, make sure your left and right hands are shoulder-width apart to keep proper form. Keep your left elbow and right elbow in as well so you can activate not only your triceps but also your chest. This exercise is great because it helps you protect your rotator cuff, which is upon your shoulders. Shoot for 15 to 20 reps in this 30-second set. Don't go for high speed, go for perfect form.
"Being active as we age can play a role in cognitive function, and reduce the risk of disease such as dementia and Alzheimer's," says Amanda Paluch, a postdoctoral researcher at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. "Research has explored several mechanisms, finding that exercise can increase synaptic plasticity and strength of nerve impulses in the brain, and have a positive effect on the hippocampus."
Exercise with a rowing machine. Using a rowing machine will help you burn calories and tone your arms. To use the machine, strap in your feet and reach forward to grab the handlebar. Keep your back straight and your knees bent. Push off with your legs and pull the handlebar toward your chest. Then, extend your arms and bend your knees again as the handlebar goes back to the starting position.[8]
"Body fat is structurally important," explains Stefanie Mendez, R.D., co-founder of Matriarch, a women's fitness and nutrition service. "It cushions our organs and insulates our body for temperature control and also is our body's source of energy reserves. Beyond that, fat is needed for the production of hormones and reproduction functions." And that fat can show up in your thighs, your belly, and, yes, your upper arms. Where it goes is partly due to genetics; if your mom has arm fat, science says you have a 62 percent chance of inheriting that trait.
"Losing weight, stopping smoking and doing more exercise are associated with better sexual health," says Dr Andrew McCullough, director of Male Sexual Health, Fertility and Microsurgery at New York University Medical Center in New York City. "We talk so much about treating, treating, treating. Here we're beginning to see an increasing body of evidence that we can modify the appearance of this by changing lifestyle."
You're adding lean muscle. If you did a strength-training routine, your muscles are now starting to rebuild themselves and repair the microscopic tears that come with lifting weights, says Paul Gordon, PhD, director of the Laboratory for Physical Activity at the University of Michigan School of Medicine in Ann Arbor. Preliminary research shows that women respond to and recover from resistance training faster than men.

I need help to create a multi-row and multi-column table in a same table. The required table is given in the image below.
\caption{Criteria used for selecting the time delay}
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{|X|L{7cm}|L{5cm}|C{2cm}|} \hline
\multirow{3}{*}{Zone 1} & \multicolumn{3}{L{14cm}|}{This zone operates without ...} \\ \cline{2-4}
& \multicolumn{2}{L{12cm}|}{Medium Votage (MV) and High Voltage (HV)} & 20-30 ms \\ \cline{2-4}
& \multicolumn{2}{L{12cm}|}{Extra-High Voltage (EHV)} & 15-25 ms \\ \hline
\multirow{2}{*}{Zone 2} & \multicolumn{3}{L{14cm}|}{Must allow zone 1 of neighboring ... Must allow zone 1 of neighboring ... Must allow zone 1 of neighboring ...} \\ \cline{2-4}
& {Zone 1 operating time of protected line ... Zone 1 operating time of protected line ...} & \multicolumn{2}{L{7cm}|}{(Referred above) from 2 cycles ... (Referred above) from 2 cycles ...} \\ \hline
Zone 3 & \multicolumn{3}{L{14cm}|}{Same procedure as for Zone 2, wherein the operating time of Zone 1 of the protected line is replaced by ...} \\ \hline
tabularx comes in handy for such big tables since it enables the table to occupy the total
\linewidth. You will need the
multirow package for these multi-line cells and the
array package for defining new column types (
C and
L). The last three columns should be defined by specified width columns
C or
L because they interfere with each other. At least one column should be specified
X to fill the remaining horizontal space.
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.3} is used to give the table some vertical extension for readability. Finally, you may consider using
booktabs for more beauty.

There get two associations: Air Conditioning Contractors in America (ACCA) and Sheet Metal but also Air Fitness Contractors national Association (SAMCNA) to which experts claim many among the reputable and giant contractors fit in.

Global markets started to freak out yesterday after the Peoples' Bank of China devalued its currency but Nomura says the move is "trivial."
Today, Asian markets took a tumble as the country cut its official exchange rate again.
In a note sent out to clients this morning, entitled "Let it RMB: A case against yuan exceptionalism," analyst Michael Kurtz and his team explained that when China initially devalued its currency by 1.9% against the dollar yesterday, it isn't as big a deal as everyone thinks it is (emphasis ours):
Much remains to be seen, assessed, and understood before the full investment implications of Tuesday's Chinese currency adjustment can be solidly inferred. For now, however, we are inclined to counsel steady nerves, and see the RMB move as potentially less than meets the eye.
In the big picture, a 1.86% currency depreciation — even for China — is comparatively trivial, taking on seeming impact largely because of how static the RMB has been vs the USD in recent months. But the sudden absence of stasis does not equate to the sudden presence of assumption-overturning paradigm change.
The note was sent this morning after the PBOC shifted its official exchange rate for the second day running, effectively allowing the yuan to tumble by another 1.9% against the dollar, after a 1.9% cut on Tuesday. However, the Nomura just mentions the first round of devaluation yesterday.
But Nomura's explanation of why the currency's devaluation should be seen as trivial still holds even after the second move today:
Indeed, calling the PBoC's latest move a 'devaluation' (for lack of more subtle vocabulary options) may already misleadingly play up the drama by inadvertently equating it with China's more legitimately seismic one- off devals of, say, 1986 (14%), 1989-90 (29% in two steps) and 1994 (33%).
The EUR, for example, has fallen by thirteen times Tuesday's 1.86% RMB move in just the past five quarters (averaging that same -1.86% decline every 18 days, for over a year), and JPY has fallen twenty times that much in the past three years — both to the widely-acknowledged benefit of European and Japanese domestic economic vibrancy.
Yet China so much as budges its FX rate and old bogeymen such as "currency warfare" and the "exporting of deflation" are rushed back out of retirement, and worst-case scenarios are given top billing. [We are reminded of abundant commentary after January's 20% Swiss franc re-valuation insisting that that move, too, portended some sort of danger-fraught global realignment. Yet that episode, in the end, passed with little lasting widespread impact.]
The currency devaluation is designed to give the flagging Chinese economy a boost. There's a lot of disagreement about how fast China is growing, but there's almost total consensus that the rate of growth is definitely slowing.
When a country devalues its currency, it makes exports cheaper but imports more expensive. However, Nomura seems pretty sure that the long term impact to foreign exporters isn't going to be as big of an issue as they may think:
As for global impact, investors may take comfort from the fact that we are actually still on quite familiar ground: The RMB itself depreciated by a larger -3.2% against the USD as recently as February-April last year (around the March 2014 RMB trading band-widening) without sending global markets careening off their established glide path.
… we also note that after China (the largest source of US imports at 21% of total ) with its 1.86% depreciation, the next four largest sources of US imports – collectively accounting for nearly twice China's US import footprint at 38% — have experienced average currency declines of 19% just since mid-2014:
