(Associated Press) Rachel Spray is still grieving the loss of her fellow nurse who died after being exposed to the novel coronavirus at Kaiser Permanente Fresno Medical Center. Now, as she stands in front of the gleaming glass and concrete hospital, she says she "dreads going in there" and fears she'll be next.
That's because like those in many U.S. hospitals, management is rationing supplies, she says, keeping medical-grade masks under lock and key.
White House officials say U.S. hospitals have all the medical supplies needed to battle the deadly virus, but frontline health care workers, hospital officials and even the Food and Drug Administration say shortages persist. Critical shortfalls of medical N95 respirators — commonly referred to as N95 masks — and other protective gear started in March, when the pandemic hit New York. Pressure on the medical supply chain continues today, and in "many ways things have only gotten worse," the American Medical Association's president, Dr. Susan Bailey, said in a recent statement.
"N95s are still in a shortage," said Mike Schiller, the American Hospital Association's senior director for supply chains. "It's certainly not anywhere near pre-COVID levels."
Early in the pandemic the White House failed to heed stark warnings — specifically about N95s — from high-level administration officials. The Associated Press has found the administration took months to sign contracts with companies that make the crucial component inside these masks: meltblown textile. Meltblowing is the manufacturing process that turns plastic into the dense mesh that makes N95 masks effective at blocking vanishingly small particles, including viruses.
Even today, manufacturers say the Trump administration hasn't made the long-term investments they need in order to ramp up to full capacity. Meanwhile, the administration allowed meltblown exports to slip out of the country as the pandemic, and the demand for masks, soared.
Manufacturers say they risk significant losses if they invest millions in machinery, raw materials, new employees and factory space to churn out a product projected to have a short-lived demand, without assurances that the government will continue to buy their meltblown textile after the need for N95s recedes post-pandemic.
"I'm not going to sit here and tell you that we're going to guarantee purchases in 2021 or whatever date you pick," said Rear Adm. John Polowczyk, who heads the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Supply Chain Stabilization Task Force. He denies there are shortages.
Meltblown textiles are used in everything from diapers to air conditioners. Electrostatically charging meltblown gives it the ability to capture particles too tiny to be filtered by regular masks.
A study published this summer in the medical journal The Lancet found that frontline workers without N95 masks who cared for COVID-19 patients have the highest risk of infection.
"The initial lack of personal protective equipment in nursing homes, and lack of infection control practices in general, contributed to a general community spread across the country," said Harvard Medical School's Dr. Andrew T. Chan, one of the authors.
But that personal protective equipment just wasn't available early in the pandemic when demand for the disposable masks and gowns exploded. And it still isn't.
Before COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, the government estimated that the U.S. would need more than 5 billion N95 respirators per year in a pandemic. In March, the Department of Health and Human Services said the demand would be about 3.5 billion.
Those estimates were based on N95 manufacturer recommendations and hospital best practices that dictated health care workers use one mask per patient visit, so a single nurse could go through perhaps a dozen a day. But due to shortages, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention instructed health care providers to reuse them.
Because of this shift in usage, it's hard to accurately estimate the severity of the shortages of medical-grade masks and gowns.
But today, hospital administrators — some of whom are facing new state orders to stockpile supplies — say they can't get as many masks as they want, and the FDA included N95s on its most recent medical supply shortage list.
In Fresno, nurse Rachel Spray typically gets one N95 per shift.
Kaiser spokesman Marc Brown didn't dispute this claim, but said the change in the way masks are used still allows the clinical staff to safely care for patients. The hospital is just carefully managing supplies, he said.
"We continue to prudently manage PPE supplies to ensure they are readily available to protect our health care workforce for the duration of this pandemic," he said.
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro disputes reports of shortages. In an August interview, he said his office responds daily to news stories of ill-equipped medical providers, sending supplies as needed.
"We have what we need to get to people what they need," he said.
In 2019, the U.S. produced 15% of meltblown in the world while China accounted for 45%. Navarro has long advocated moving manufacturing back to the United States, and during the Republican National Convention President Donald Trump pledged to do just that with crucial medical supplies.
"We are taking our business out of China. We are bringing it home," he said.
But the meltblown example illustrates the failure of this administration to take necessary steps to fulfill this promise.
Meltblown is spun out of plastic pellets made from oil, typically polypropylene or polyethylene. The pellets are fed into a heated metal extruder, and jets of hot air force the liquefied plastic through an array of extremely small holes, producing fine plastic fibers. As the fibers cool, they overlap and stick together, forming a dense mesh.
This year, American meltblown makers have been ramping up supply. But some say they need more government support to meet the demand.
Mike Clark, a division president at Hollingsworth and Vose, a meltblown maker based in East Walpole, Massachusetts, said his company has tripled production of meltblown for masks by ramping up and exiting other markets. But he and other makers have reservations about investing significant amounts of their own money .
After the H1N1 epidemic in 2009, Hollingsworth and Vose purchased a new meltblown machine, but the demand for N95s plummeted when the virus dissipated, Clark said.
"We're now confronted with the same thing," he said. "No one will guarantee volumes past 2021. And the issue is, the lead time for one of these machines is a year, so just as we get that machine set up and installed, that demand might go away."
The company received a government contract for $1.9 million to produce an additional 27.5 million N95 masks, but it doesn't include long-term purchase guarantees.
"It's half the problem solved," Clark said. "If the government bought you a machine that's 100% paid for, it still wouldn't make sense to waste space in your plant, just collecting dust."
Lydall Inc., headquartered in Manchester, Connecticut, began the pandemic with one manufacturing line pumping out rolls of meltblown. A second should be online by the end of this year, and a third by May.
"We have one of the most highly sought-after products the world over," Lydall CEO Sara Greenstein said.
To increase production, Greenstein said the company invested more than $25 million, which she hopes will be offset by a $13.5 million government contract for meltblown materials.
Dan Reese, president of Prestige Ameritech, the largest domestic maker of medical N95 respirators, said he emptied his own savings during the H1N1 flu outbreak to expand operations and boost his output, only to end up near-bankrupt and laying off workers when demand dried up.
He currently buys meltblown fabric from wherever he can get it, and estimates it would cost $15 million and take a year to start producing his own. A machine alone costs $5 million.
"I don't have the cash," he said. "If we continue to ramp up our production like we plan, we're going to run out of meltblown." Reese said. Meltblown shortages are "restricting our ability to do what we need to do for the country."
Under the Defense Production Act, a mechanism that allows the U.S. government to compel companies to prioritize federal orders and help manufacturers increase production capacity, some mask and meltblown makers have gotten a boost.
Between mid-April and early May, four N95 manufacturers — O&M Halyard, Honeywell, 3M and Hollingsworth and Vose — received a total of $134.5 million to increase production, including expanding existing operations and setting up new production lines. The federal government also approved smaller contracts this summer with NPS Corp. and Lydall to bolster meltblown production.
But the Trump administration has not specifically restricted exports of meltblown material, a power it can use under the act. And in the face of shortages, U.S. meltblown makers have continued exporting their goods overseas.
They've sent more than 40 shipping containers of meltblown material and related supplies offshore, with about 40% of it going to Pakistan, according to an Associated Press analysis of data from Panjiva, the supply-chain research unit at S&P Global Market Intelligence.
That compares with only six shipping containers during the same period in 2019.
The DPA gives the U.S. government the authority to block exports of crucial products and materials.
Shifting manufacturing overseas made the U.S. medical supply chains vulnerable.
Greenstein of Lydall says if the U.S. wants a stable supply of medical equipment, it will have to produce all of its own meltblown.
"You can't rely on this long-distance supply chain to provide the mission-critical elements that are a matter of life or death," Greenstein said. "When it's affecting everybody, the countries that have the domestic supply will prioritize their use over others."
Moving production back to the U.S. has been a central goal of Navarro, who has warned for years about U.S. dependence on China for manufacturing. This year's pandemic shortages, he said, "is the type of scenario I was worried about on steroids."

We have a full line of products tailored to meet your needs coupled with programs specifically designed for teachers.
Find out why Horace Mann is right for you.
Four appliances are most often the culprits when household water leaks spring up: your washing machine, refrigerator dishwasher and sump pump. Inspecting these appliances several times a year could save you the time and money you could lose repairing and cleaning up a bigger water problem down the line.
Routinely check the supply line connected to your washing machine.
All materials have a life expectancy, which can be lengthened or shortened by many factors: water type, water pressure, installation techniques and use frequency. Look for signs of leaking like corrosion or water deposits. If needed, replace the rubber or rigid metal with braided metal supply lines, many of which have built-in leak detectors and shutoff valves.
Refrigerators with icemakers can spring a leak if the water line gets damaged, clogged or crimped. Check the water supply line to make sure it is securely attached. If at some point, you do have to replace the line, the good news is it only costs around $25.
Your dishwasher can leak under the sink or around its base. Check for:
If you find any of these signs, call a plumber to see if your dishwasher can be repaired, or if it's time to replace it.
If your home has a sump pump, you should have a back-up to your primary power source installed, like a battery backup or generator. Test it annually, preferably before your wettest season.

The Power of Words – A Poem
As a general rule, I love words. I love arranging them to express a thought or idea. But strung together in the wrong way, words can hurt another person far worse than any physical harm.
Words are powerful. Let's use their power for good, and not for evil.
The Power of Words
Sticks and stones
will only break bones
but words cut hard and deep
crushing heart and soul
when cruelly we speak
leaving scars no one can see
Sticks and stones
can make buildings and homes
but words sink soft and deep
lifting heart and soul
when lovingly we speak
healing scars only God can see
Take care with your words
use encouraging ones
let the cruel ones remain unspoken
shower kindness and love
offer mercy from above
in a world already too broken
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. James 3:9-10 (NIV).

Can my employer lay me off without any warning?
Maybe. The WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) Act requires businesses who employ over 100 workers to either give their employees 60 days' notice in writing of a mass layoff or plant closing, or to pay the employees if they fail to give the notice.
The WARN Act requires advance notice of loss of employment so workers have time to look for another job or receive training in another occupation.
What if my employer doesn't give me notice of the layoff?
If you are entitled to this notice and your employer fails to provide it, you may be due back pay and benefits that you would have earned during that 60 days as if the layoff had not occurred.
How do I know if I was part of a "mass layoff?"
A mass layoff occurs under the WARN Act when:
- at least 50 employees are laid off during a 30-day period, if the laid-off employees made up at least one third of the workforce;
- 500 employees are laid off during a 30-day period, no matter how large the workforce; or
- an entire work site is closed down and at least 50 employees are laid off during a 30-day period.
Is my employer covered by the WARN Act?
A business is covered if it employs at least 100 full-time employees or a combination of at least 100 part-time and full-time employees who work a total of 4000 hours per week. (Note: A part-time employee is someone who works fewer than 20 hours each week, or who has been employed fewer than six months before the date the notice should have been issued.)
I worked for my employer for only one month. Am I still entitled to benefits under the WARN Act?
A covered employee is normally entitled to 60 days' notice (or pay in lieu of notice). But if you were employed less than 120 days, then you get the lesser of 60 days' notice or half the number of days you were employed. In your case, you would be entitled to 15 days' notice or pay (half of one month of employment).
I was laid off without notice right before a holiday that I was scheduled to work. Am I entitled to the extra money I would have made?
A covered worker is entitled to any pay she would have earned in the covered period. For instance, if you earn tips or overtime pay on a regular basis, your employer may have to compensate you for those earnings, too.
Holiday pay is also covered, though you would also need to prove that you would have worked that holiday if you had not been laid off.
An employer also is required to pay for retirement benefits during the covered period, and for any medical expenses that would have been covered under the medical insurance plan.
My employer cut my wages and then laid me off without notice. Can he pay the WARN Act compensation at the lower rate?
Payment is calculated at either the average wage you received over the last three years of employment, or the last rate you received, whichever is greater. So in your case, the pay might be the average you received over the last three years.
I was working as a temp and then laid off. Am I covered?
The WARN Act does not protect employees who were hired with the understanding that the position was temporary, so temp workers generally would not be covered.
My employer laid me off when she moved the business to another city. Am I entitled to notice or pay?
If the layoff is due to the business relocating, the workers are not covered if the new worksite is within reasonable commuting distance, and the employer offers the employees the chance to transfer to the new site. If the site is not within reasonable commuting distance and the employee decides to transfer there anyway, the employee also is not entitled to notice or payment.
I was laid off because the business unexpectedly lost a huge customer. Am I still entitled to notice or payment?
Under certain conditions, the notification period can be reduced:
- if the layoff is due to a natural disaster;
- if the business closes due to circumstances that the employer could not reasonably have foreseen 60 days ahead of time;
- if the employer was trying to avoid or postpone the layoff by obtaining capital, and he believed that giving notice would have jeopardized the funding.
However, the employer is still required to give as much notice as possible under all of the above circumstances.
How do I file a claim against my employer for not giving me enough notice?
The WARN Act is enforced by lawsuits to collect back pay and penalties when an employer does not give notice. You will therefore have to file your claim against your employer in federal court.


text:
the widely used approach to nonlinear optics is a Taylor expansion of the dielectric displacement field $\mathbf{D} = \epsilon_0\cdot\mathbf{E} + \mathbf{P}$ in a Fourier representation of the polarization $\mathbf{P}$ in terms of the dielectric susceptibility $\mathcal{X}$:
$\mathbf{P} = \epsilon_0\cdot(\mathcal{X}^{(1)}(\mathbf{E}) + \mathcal{X}^{(2)}(\mathbf{E},\mathbf{E}) + \dots)$ .
This expansion does not work anymore if the excitation field has components close to the resonance of the medium. Then, one has to take the whole quantum mechanical situation into account by e.g. describing light/matter interaction by a two-level Hamiltonian.
But this approach is certainly not the most general one.
Intrinsically nonlinear formulations of electrodynamics
So, what kind of nonlinear formulations of electrodynamics given in a Lagrangian formulation are there?
One known ansatz is the Born-Infeld model as pointed out by Raskolnikov. There, the Lagrangian density is given by
$\mathcal{L} = b^2\cdot \left[ \sqrt{-\det (g_{\mu \nu})} - \sqrt{-\det(g_{\mu \nu} + F_{\mu \nu}/b)} \right]$
and the theory has some nice features as for example a maximum energy density and its relation to gauge fields in string theory. But as I see it, this model is an intrinsically nonlinear model for the free-space field itself and not usefull for describing nonlinear matter interaction.
The same holds for an ansatz of the form
$\mathcal{L} = -\frac{1}{4}F^{\mu\nu}F_{\mu\nu} + \lambda\cdot\left( F^{\mu\nu}F_{\mu\nu} \right)^2$
proposed by Mahzoon and Riazi. Of course, describing the system in Quantum Electrodynamics is intrinsically nonlinear and ... to my mind way to complicated for a macroscopical description for nonlinear optics. The question is: Can we still get a nice formulation of the theory, say, as a mean field theory via an effective Lagrangian?
I think a suitable ansatz could be
$\mathcal{L} = -\frac{1}{4}M^{\mu\nu}F_{\mu\nu}$
where $M$ now accounts for the matter reaction and depends in a nonlinear way on $\mathbf{E}$ and $\mathbf{B}$, say
$M^{\mu\nu} = T^{\mu\nu\alpha\beta}F_{\alpha\beta}$
where now $T$ is a nonlinear function of the field strength and might obey certain symmetries. The equation $T = T\left( F \right)$ remains unknown and depends on the material.
Metric vs. $T$ approach
As pointed out by space_cadet, one might ask the question why the nonlinearity is not better suited in the metric itself. I think this is a matter of taste. My point is that explicitly changing the metric might imply a non-stationary spacetime in which a Fourier transformation might not be well defined. It might be totally sufficient to treat spacetime as Lorentzian manifold.
Also, we might need a simple spacetime structure later on to explain the material interaction since the polarization $\mathbf{P}$ depends on the matter response generally in terms of an integration over the past, say
$\mathbf{P}(t) = \int_{-\infty}^{t}R\left[\mathbf{E}\right](\tau )d\tau$
with $R$ beeing some nonlinear response function(al) related to $T^{\mu\nu\alpha\beta}$.
Examples for $T$
To illustrate the idea of $T$, here are some examples.
For free space, $T$ it is given by $T^{\mu\nu\alpha\beta} = g^{\mu\alpha}g^{\nu\beta}$ resulting in the free-space Lagrangian $\mathcal{L} = -\frac{1}{4}T^{\mu\nu\alpha\beta}F_{\alpha\beta}F_{\mu\nu} = -\frac{1}{4}F^{\mu\nu}F_{\mu\nu}$ The Lagrangian of Mahzoon and Riazi can be reconstructed by
$T^{\mu\nu\alpha\beta} = \left( 1 + \lambda F^{\gamma\delta}F_{\gamma\delta} \right)\cdot g^{\mu\alpha}g^{\nu\beta}$.
One might be able to derive a Kerr nonlinearity using this Lagrangian.
So, is anyone familiar in a description of nonlinear optics/electrodynamics in terms of a gauge field theory or something similar to the thoughts outlined here?
Thank you in advance.
Comments on the first Bounty
I want to thank everyone actively participating in the discussion, especially Greg Graviton, Marek, Raskolnikov, space_cadet and Willie Wong. I am enjoying the discussion relating to this question and thankfull for all the nice leads you gave. I decided to give the bounty to Willie since he gave the thread a new direction introducing the material manifold to us.
For now, I have to reconsider all the ideas and I hope I can come up with a new revision of the question that should be formulated in a clearer way as it is at the moment.
So, thank you again for your contributions and feel welcome to share new insights.

Community Connections
Reaching out into the local, regional, national, and international community provides students with hands-on training while allowing APU's nursing school to serve those in need of medical care. Important community connections such as the Neighborhood Wellness Center, federal traineeships, mission trips, care for the homeless, the Spiritual Care Research Network, and the Pediatric Neurodevelopment Institute afford opportunities for educational growth on many levels.
Neighborhood Wellness Center
The Neighborhood Wellness Center (NWC) opened its doors in September 1998, and emerged as a joint effort between the city of Azusa and Azusa Pacific University's School of Nursing to provide health education and care to Azusa residents. The center promotes healthy living among the local community through free seminars, referrals, screenings, and assessments. With a "drop-in-ask-a-nurse" philosophy, the center allows community health nursing students to assume a professional role in health promotion and disease prevention.
Neighbor to Neighbor Program
The Neighbor to Neighbor Program began through a collaboration between the NWC and Citrus Valley Health Partner Promotoras, and targets diabetes and obesity prevention for Azusa residents. The Neighbor to Neighbor Program facilitates:
- Health Education Leadership Program (HELP), an initiative that identifies and trains community volunteers to provide diabetes and obesity prevention education through promotion of healthy lifestyle behaviors. Through partnerships with community agencies, organizations, schools, and churches, faculty and students provide health education sessions throughout the city of Azusa.
- Azusa Walks Program aims to increase the physical activity, possible weight loss, and nutrition knowledge of local residents. More than 300 pedometers have been distributed throughout the community as well as approximately 70 step-counting pedometers to children and non-Azusa citizens. All participants receive instruction regarding body weight and measurements, physical activity, BMI, and goal setting. Nutritional education and counseling sessions focus on food groups, calorie needs versus calorie intake, calorie burning, food portions and serving sizes, label reading, and sugar and fat content of foods.
The center is open on a walk-in basis on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8 a.m.-2 p.m. For further information, contact Elizabeth Lopez at firstname.lastname@example.com or Catherine Heinlein at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Mission Opportunities
The university and School of Nursing frequently sponsor or host missions trips for students both locally and internationally. Health missions to Mexico, Uganda, and Haiti have provided direct patient care. The School of Nursing faculty have also conducted educational health missions to Korea and Russia.
For more information, visit the International Opportunities page.
Health Care for the Homeless
Director: Connie Brehm, PhD, MSN, C. FNP, RN
The faculty and students of the School of Nursing provide health services in partnership with the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless (ESGVCH). Under faculty supervision, nursing students (both undergraduate and graduate) care for homeless individuals and families through the ESGVCH Winter Shelter Program housed in local churches (December to March annually, since 1997) and the ESGVCH Emergency Assistance Center on a year-round basis.

The path to 360° value starts here—featuring our most provocative thinking, extensive research and compelling stories of shared success.
Current Country: United States
Accenture research indicates nearly three-quarters of companies are in a state of or on the brink of disruption.1 And no industry is immune—from manufacturers such as consumer goods companies to banks in financial services. The stark difference between those who thrive amid disruption and those who don't can be summed up in three words: Purpose. Agility. Culture.
The companies that thrive are those that go further in driving transformation by investing with purpose, adopting agile operating principles, and empowering people at all levels of the organization. And those moves are paying off: The long-term EBITDA growth for truly agile organizations is 16 percent compared with only 6 percent on average for non-agile organizations.2
Through a zero-based mindset, nearly 50 percent of the G2000 has adopted strategies that show potential to significantly increase execution speed and create investment capacity.
Through a zero-based mindset, nearly 50 percent of the G2000 has adopted strategies that show potential to significantly increase execution speed and create investment capacity.
Businesses have been battling disruption by capturing savings to reinvest in growth. Many management teams have applied a zero-based mindset to unlock up to—and in some cases even greater than—1,000 basis points of their P&L to create a critical source of investment capacity into operational agility.3
But that's only half the battle. While these funds may boost the bottom line, is the money flowing to the right places to fuel growth? Leaders must consider why, how, where and by whom work gets done to execute against strategic imperatives else they may fail competitively, and earnings will suffer.
Consumers and employees are increasingly seeking out brands that stand for something bigger than themselves. As a result, companies investing with purpose are not only attracting customers and talent, but they are also building sustainable trust and connections that lead to increased profitability and competitiveness.
Agile structures that rally around a purpose inspire employees and enable teams to work more effectively, collaborate more intensely, and engage more broadly across their ecosystem to drive better outcomes for the business. This creates the speed and flexibility necessary to sense and respond to volatile industry economics, shifting customer expectations and emerging business models.
Breaking down internal silos is critical as a starting point. Creating cross-functional teams that operate in flexible pod-like structures focused on specific imperatives can discover and solve problems in ways they simply couldn't within traditional, more restrictive structures. These moves can unleash innovation, enable them to execute in sprints and collaborate for better outcomes.
An operating model is only as good as the people who put it into practice. Yet today's C-suite is saturated with leaders who bring to the table "left-brain" (scientific) skills that draw on data analysis and critical reasoning. In fact, a whopping 89 percent of the C-suite hold left-directed degrees.4 This leaves a gap when it comes to empathy, embracing change and having a clear vision—attributes that provide the courage, empowerment and resilience to create differentiated positioning in the market.
Unlocking the frozen middle—typically two to three levels below the C-suite—is critical. This group often has what the most senior leadership often does not—"whole-brain thinking" that unleashes innovation capability and frees creativity needed to solve the most complex business problems, explore possibilities and realize outcomes.
While only 8% of companies globally employ whole-brain leadership today, 82% of companies state they intend to embrace the whole-brain approach in the next three years.
While only 8% of companies globally employ whole-brain leadership today, 82% of companies state they intend to embrace the whole-brain approach in the next three years.
Overcoming disruption is not about survival—it's about coming out as the strongest in the pack. Applying zero-based strategies to cost transformation puts companies on the right path, but it takes a clear purpose, the right investments, an agile operating model and an empowered workforce to thrive and not just survive.
Prioritize the removal of rooted systems and structures that prevent the ability to scale and innovate at speed.
Provide a mechanism to become a disruptor with the help of a galvanizing purpose, expanded innovation breadth and ecosystem partnerships to access technologies and talent.
Reset cultural norms across the organization to embrace creative thinking and relentless innovation. Balance legacy left-brain thinkers with bold right-brain minds willing to push new boundaries.
Implement new or adjust existing incentive structures for behaviors and results related to the new or evolved business models. Relentlessly measure and recognize the right behaviors.

text: Hi, I have a 2004 Grand Cherokee Special Edition bought new. It has had very good care. It started having a very long cranking problem. A new crank sensor was put on but it didn't help. Chrysler paid for a full diagnostics at a Jeep dealership. They cannot find the problem. Sometimes, if you give it just a little bit of gas when it's doing this it will start right up.However, as you know you should not have to touch the gas pedal in a fuel injected vehicle to start it. We also have 2 other jeeps (1993 and a2001) with the same problem. The fuel pump tested out fine. The 04 has a 4.7 V8. Has anyone else had a problem like this ?

With every passing day Portugal has less and less economy left, while fewer and fewer people remain to try to pay down the debt.
As Portuguese President Aníbal Cavaco Silva once put it, "A country without children is a nation without a future." He was, of course, referring to his country's ultra-low birth rate, which is just over 1.3 (Tfr) and has been below replacement level (2.1Tfr) since the early 1980s. In 2012 only just over 90,000 children were born in the country, the lowest number in more than a century – you need to go back to the nineteenth century to find numbers like the ones we have been seeing since the crisis really took hold.
But added to this longstanding, yet unaddressed, problem there is now another, just as dangerous, one. High unemployment levels and the lack of job opportunities are leading an ever increasing number of young Portuguese to emigrate. The numbers are large, possibly a million over the last decade, victims of the country's ridiculously low growth rate – under 1% a year. And the departures are accelerating. Jose Cesario, secretary of state for emigrant communities, estimated recently that up to 240,000 people may have left since the start of 2011.
Naturally this is one of the reasons why Portuguese unemployment numbers haven't hit the Spanish or Greek heights. According to data from the Portuguese Institute of Employment and Professional Training, during the first nine months of last year 24,689 people cancelled their unemployment registration due to a decision to emigrate. This compares with 16,977 in the first nine months of 2011. In September alone, 2,766 people signed off for the same reason, a 49% increase on September of 2011. Yet between January and September Portugal's EU harmonized unemployment rate rose from 14.7% to 16.3%, suggesting that without so many people packing their bags and leaving the figure would have been significantly higher, and offering some explanation as to why government officials don't do more to try and stop the flow.
Nobel economist Paul Krugman recently suggested that among the ailments Japan was suffering from was a shortage of Japanese. Or put another way Japan's slow growth is partly a by-product of the country's ageing and shrinking workforce. Looking at the country's population dynamics Portugal certainly looks a likely candidate to catch this most modern of modern diseases. Not only does Portugal have the key ingredient behind the Japanese workforce shrinkage – long term ultra-low fertility – it has some added issues to boot. Japan may be immigration averse, but its inhabitants aren't fleeing in droves.
Of course, a shortage is always relative to something. Many hold that the planet is overpopulated, and that energy constraints mean fewer people would be better. So shouldn't we be celebrating all these children who aren't getting born?
Well, no, at least not if you want sustainable pension and health system, and that is what the developed world sovereign debt crisis is all about, how to meet implicit liabilities for an ever older population. One thing Portugal won't have a shortage of is old people, since the over 65 age group is projected to grow and grow, even as the working population shrinks and shrinks. No wonder the young are leaving, even if the youth unemployment rate wasn't 38.3%, just think of all the taxes and social security contributions the remaining young people are going to have to pay just to keep the welfare ship afloat. Patriotism at the end of the day has its limits.
Far from the recession getting milder as last year progressed it actually accelerated, and there was a 3.8% output drop in the three months to December in comparison with a year earlier.
Naturally, it isn't all bad news. Exports are doing extremely well. They were up by 5.8% during the course of 2012, and the really good news was an increase of almost 20% in shipments outside Europe - exports to countries outside the EU jumped 19.8% to13.1 billion euros. These now constitute nearly 30% of total exports, up from just over 25% in 2011. In contrast exports to other EU countries – where domestic demand is contracting rather than expanding - were up a mere 1%.
In contrast retail sales were down nearly 10% on the year, construction output 15%, and industrial output 5%.
This is a familiar picture across Europe's southern periphery, where positive export performance does not compensate for shrinking domestic demand due to the smallish size of the export sector, generating a negative environment which ongoing reductions in government spending do nothing to assuage.
And next year it looks set to get worse. The Bank of Portugal is now forecasting a GDP drop of 1.9% in 2013, compared with earlier expectations for a much softer fall. As recently as last October the IMF was expecting only a 1% drop. In any event it will be the third consecutive year of decline, making for five out of the last six years where the Portuguese economy has gone backwards following the best part of a decade where it scarcely moved forwards.
But if there is a shortage of both growth and young people, there is no shortage of debt. Gross government debt as a percentage of GDP hit the 120% of GDP level last year. And it isn't only public sector debt, the Portuguese private sector owed some 250% of GDP at the end of last year, according to Eurostat records, one of the highest levels in the EU.
Worse still the country's net international investment position had a negative balance of nearly 110% of GDP, the worst in the EU.
This last detail is important, since according to conventional economic theory it is by drawing down on overseas assets (which have been acquired by pensions and other saving) that elderly societies can help meet their pension and health liabilities (the Japan case). But in Portugal far from reaping returns on this account, paying down these debts, or interest on them, will be a drain on public resources for many years to come.
So with less people working and paying into the welfare system, less GDP, and huge debts the numbers simply don't add up. This year we will see GDP levels last seen in 2000. Yet in their latest Article IV consultation report the IMF Executive Directors actually "welcomed the [Portuguese] authorities' impressive policy effort to gradually reverse the accumulated imbalances and prevent future crises". How they can say this and keep a straight face when talking about a country which is actually travelling backwards in time is hard to understand. It looks increasingly like the Fund is suffering from "integrity flight" and relegating itself to the role of a public relations body for a group of fumbling European politicians.
The depth of ignorance which exists on the challenges the country faces was revealed last year when Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho actually said that the best solution to youth unemployment problem was for young people to emigrate. We are increasingly handling the new and complex problems presented by the 21st century with the aid of simplistic formulas derived from 20thcentury textbook economics. It's time for someone somewhere to wake up to the fact that the old models don't work, because there are growing number of key factors they simply don't capture. The poor performance of economists using these models is increasingly getting the profession a bad name among the public at large. Mr Draghi's outright monetary transactions programme may well be doing a marvelous job of addressing the issue of financial capital flight but it offers few solutions to the human capital one. In the absence of policies which acknowledge these issues exist and then address them none of the sustainability analyses – debt, financial sector, whatever – are worth the paper they have been written on.
I have established a dedicated Facebook page to campaign for the EU to take this issue more seriously, in particular by insisting member states measure the problem more adequately and having Eurostat incorporate population migrations as an indicator in the Macroeconomic Imbalance Procedure Scoreboard in just the same way current account balances are. If you agree with me that this is a significant problem that needs to be given more importance then please take the time to click "like" on the page. I realize it is a tiny initiative in the face of what could become a huge problem, but sometime great things from little seeds to grow.

Are you finding deals with US Probate Leads?
Beating the competition is the key to success. A "motivated seller" is a property owner willing to sell the home below market value. The term could also refer to someone who would considerably sell their property with terms that favor you. Sometimes, you'll find a seller that meets many of these criteria. Often, a motivated seller has a strict timeline that they are trying to meet. For instance, their goal is to move the property quickly, with up-to-date, fresh data. When something seems too good to be true in life, it often is. However, certain real estate investments buck the trend and are the exception with off-market leads.

Marketing, are you getting fresh data with US Probate Leads?
Moreover, "The early bird gets the worm" and "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" are crucial to success. Finding the owner or person who can execute a deed is essential. Marketing to Foreclosure listings and Probate estates takes a different approach in marketing campaigns. Your Probate lead source, for example, starts with a unique 4-6 week mailing campaign. We recommend handwritten letters with colored envelopes and distinctive markings. Technology has arrived, and an effective way to communicate your intentions is postcards with pictures of the real estate imprinted. Postcards are fast and exceptionally effective.
Marketing must include working the returned mail and people changing addresses over time. Databases, including government databases, courthouses, and property appraisers, to name a few, need to be updated or corrected information. In addition, skip tracing is a tool to sort out address issues and phone numbers, broaden your search and give you more information. For example, if John Doe has three addresses, could you mail all three? Each lead source is marketed differently based on life events. We do not recommend calling heirs at first. A high percentage of family members are in the grieving process. Other lead types require knocking on doors and, for this reason, employing all means necessary to beat your competitor to the deal. What works for you depends on location demographics and other factors, including personal preferences. US Probate Leads Customer Reviews. Are you getting fresh data?
Why do executors often sell properties under market value?
Often, executors have a personal or close professional relationship with the decedent. That means they are likely going through a grieving process themselves or under pressure to help grieving heirs quickly settle the estate. Probate real estate leads are heirs, or the executor most likely paid the mortgage for the home every month, so any cash received from the sale is a windfall. Finally, the odds of an executor being a real estate professional are remote. The executor may not be willing to go through the time, effort, and money it takes to get top dollar for the decedent's property. Heirs are keen to sell due to various reasons. Equally important, leaving plenty of room to negotiate a fair price and give you the potential for a significant profit margin. Furthermore, heirs are motivated sellers of real estate.
The probable reasons,
Unnecessary burden and have no interest in spending money on maintenance
Living and working in another state or country
Selling for instant cash

basic instincts
This week's Illustration Friday was "instinct". For awhile I was trying to do something involving human instincts, but then I decided that I do enough illustrations of people. Hopefully Rabbit goes with his instincts and avoids that trap!
