Reviews of : Thinking in Systems by Donella H. Meadows PDF Book
Inside this Book – A system isn't just any old collection of things. A system* is an interconnected set of elements that is coherently organized in a way that achieves something. If you look at that definition closely for a minute, you can see that a system must consist of three kinds of things: elements, interconnections, and a function or purpose. For example, the elements of your digestive system include teeth, enzymes, stomach, and intestines. They are interrelated through the physical flow of food, and through an elegant set of regulating chemical signals. The function of this system is to break down food into its basic nutrients and to transfer those nutrients into the bloodstream (another system), while discarding unusable wastes. A football team is a system with elements such as players, coach, field, and ball. Its interconnections are the rules of the game, the coach's strategy, the players' communications, and the laws of physics that govern the motions of ball and players. The purpose of the team is to win games, or have fun, or get exercise, or make millions of dollars, or all of the above. A school is a system. So is a city, and a factory, and a corporation, and a national economy. An animal is a system. A tree is a system, and a forest is a larger system that encompasses subsystems of trees and animals. The earth is a system. So is the solar system; so is a galaxy. Systems can be embedded in systems, which are embedded in yet other systems.
Inside this book –Thinking in Systems PDF Book by Donella H. Meadows – One good way to learn something new is through specific examples rather than abstractions and generalities, so here are several common, simple but important examples of systems that are useful to understand in their own right and that will illustrate many general principles of complex systems. This collection has some of the same strengths and weaknesses as a zoo. 2 It gives you an idea of the large variety of systems that exist in the world, but it is far from a complete representation of that variety. It groups the animals by family—monkeys here, bears there (single-stock systems here, two-stock systems there)—so you can observe the characteristic behaviors of monkeys, as opposed to bears. But, like a zoo, this collection is too neat. To make the animals visible and understandable, it separates them from each other and from their normal concealing environment. Just as zoo animals more naturally occur mixed together in ecosystems, so the systems animals described here normally connect and interact with each other and with others not illustrated here—all making up the buzzing, hooting, chirping, changing complexity in which we live. Ecosystems come later. For the moment, let's look at one system animal at a time.

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians was back at work on Tuesday morning and is expected to coach on Sunday in Atlanta, according to the team.
Arians, 64, spent most of Monday at a Valley hospital after feeling "discomfort" upon returning from Minnesota on Sunday night. After undergoing several tests, he was released Monday evening.
BOIVIN: Are we all culpable for Bruce Arians' health complications?
It was Arians' second hospital visit of the season. In August, he was taken to a San Diego hospital after experiencing pain associated with diverticulitis, an inflammation of the colon.
Thank you for all the well wishes, thoughts and prayers. I'm doing good. Everything checked out ok. Happy to be back with the guys!— Bruce Arians (@BruceArians) November 22, 2016

One Tree Hill, Season 4 - Episode 1
This episode of One Tree Hill opens with a dramatic car crash on the way home from Nathan and Hayley's wedding, in which Nathan plays the hero by rescuing Cooper and Rachael from the water. In this scene Nathan holds the power; lives are in his hands, and so is Hayley's sanity (as she waits for him on the road, hoping that he will make it out ok). The crash occured because Rachael was afraid that Cooper did not want to be with her, so she told him she was pregnant. When she didn't receive the response she wanted to hear, Rachael grabbed the wheel from Cooper. The producer had Rachael play the 'pregnancy card' because the show is aimed at young adults, and other shows targeting the same genre often generalize that pregnant women get the desired man to stay with them.
While Hayley and Lucas are waiting in the hospital, Karen (Lucas' mom) expresses her concern that Lucas and Brook may be expecting a child at 17. Lucas directly approaches Brook about this, and she tells him not to worry, that the pregnancy test he found was not hers. Brook holds the power here; only she knows if she is pregnant or not, and she has the option of whether to tell Lucas the truth.
Once Rachael wakes up, she tells Hayley to thank Nathan for saving her. Hayley blames Rachael for the accident and tells her to never go near Nathan again. Meanwhile, the cops are waiting for Cooper to wake up and see what made him lose control. When he does awaken, he covers for Rachael, still under the impression that she is pregnant with his child. After, she reveals to him that she lied.
During this episode, Brook moves into Rachael's house. I feel like this is very unrealistic; not many teenagers have entire houses to themselves. She also breaks up with Lucas, once again displaying power in this episode. At the end of the show, Brook and Hayley go to the doctor's office and the audience finds out that one of them is pregnant.
The teen pregnancy issue is very popular in the media today, and so it is appropriate the a show directed towards young adults would involve this topic. Other topics prominent in this episode and series, such as teenage married couples and teenagers living on their own, are less common and may be the result of having an older producer making a teenage-oriented show.

ASUS Maximus XI Apex - M.2 / DIMM.2 Questions
Hi there,
so two days ago I received my M11A Board. Before I was using the M11H so it was just a swap.
I am using one M.2 NVME SSD (Samsung 970 Pro) and the only way to use one on the M11A seems to be through the DIMM.2 Module.
My question is - is the DIMM.2 Module on the M11A wired to the CPU or to the PCH? Because if it is wired to the CPU wouldn't it decrease the available PCI-E Lanes to the GPU as there are only 16 available - making the GPU just run @ PCI-E 8x?
The manual does explicitly say so, though hwinfo and gpu-z report my GPU using PCI-E 16x.
I am thoroughly confused.
Is there a wire diagram for the M11A like there was for other ROG Boards in the past?
Thanks in advance.

Pollock (Life Inside My Mind: 31 Authors Share Their Personal Struggles, 2018, etc.) takes the unreliable narrator to the extreme as an anxiety-ridden teen tries to elude deadly spies in this British import.
While Pete's panic attacks are unpredictable, he finds the predictable patterns of mathematics soothing. And while he's often the object of bullying in their London school, his adventurous, rebellious twin sister, Bel, serves as his protector. The white teen's also found camaraderie with Ingrid, an obsessive-compulsive classmate who is a fellow math genius. After a difficult panic attack, Pete reluctantly agrees to attend an award ceremony for his single mother, a notable scientist. Instead of accolades, however, his mother receives a potentially fatal stab wound. As they are whisked away by a dubious team of rescuers, Pete learns that this team really consists of spies known as 57 (even more covert than MI6) and that his mother's scientific research is part of their operation. He also learns that Bel has gone missing. These shocking revelations are just the start of unrelenting twists and turns that continue as Pete relies on various math theories and Ingrid's help to escape and hunt for Bel before 57 takes all of their lives. Chapters that alternate between past and present eventually merge together to provide more clues. Or do they?
Even the last page will keep readers wondering if there's truth to the title. (Thriller. 14-18)

Three aircraft platforms, a Grob Egrett, a NASA ER-2, and a Twin Otter, were used during ARESE in conjunction with the Atmospheric Radiation Measurements (ARM) central and extended facilities in north central Oklahoma. The aircraft were coordinated to simultaneously measure solar irradiances in the total spectral broadband (0.224-3.91 mu m), near infrared broadband (0.678-3.3 mu m), and in seven narrow band-pass (similar to 10 nm width) channels centered at 0.500, 0.862, 1.064, 1.249, 1.501, 1.651, and 1.750 mu m. Instrumental calibration issues are discussed in some detail, in particular radiometric power, angular, and spectral responses.

In 1958, Alfred Hitchcock did something audacious.
Working in the Hollywood studio system, he made a movie as intensely personal as anything contemporary audiences would expect from the Sundance Film Festival. He used two of the biggest stars of the day and put them into a story where what mattered to him was front and center.
The film was "Vertigo," starring James Stewart and Kim Novak. It was not well received, and a long time passed before it was taken seriously.
But in 2012, when the respected British film journal Sight & Sound released its once-a-decade poll of critics worldwide selecting the best movies ever made, "Vertigo" was No.1. You can look it up.
I thought of "Vertigo" when I started thinking about "Black Panther" - about what the superhero blockbuster accomplished, why it has been underappreciated and why it would be my choice for the best picture Oscar this year.
Of course, parallels between "Black Panther" and "Vertigo" are far from exact. For one, "underappreciated" is not a term most people would choose for a film that has accumulated a worldwide gross of $1.35 billion, seven Oscar nominations and the coveted SAG ensemble cast award, all while spending an almost unheard-of six months in theaters.
But despite "Black Panther's" undeniable success, there is no shortage of those who devalue its accomplishments, who either dismiss it as just another superhero movie or refuse to watch it at all for the same reason. The motion picture academy, which denied the film writing, directing and acting nominations, likely has voters who fit that description.
Those doubters may not grasp the extent of what director-cowriter Ryan Coogler and his team have accomplished. Very much like Hitchcock, they've gone into the belly of the beast, expropriated the deep-pockets resources of the Marvel-Disney juggernaut and used them for their own purposes.
This is not easy to do. Those Hollywood machines exist not to serve individuals but to bend them to their will. Indie and foreign language directors without number have been lured to studios by the promise of being able to make films their own way, only to find the reality very different.
And yet here is "Black Panther," a film so intensely personal that when the classic Marvel elements appear - like a cameo by the late Stan Lee - they almost feel out of place.
"Black Panther," however, deserves a best picture Oscar not because it managed to go its own way but because of what going its own way meant.
Before examining that, it's important to underline that "Black Panther" fulfilled its part of the bargain with Marvel by delivering a superhero saga that pleased the entertainment behemoth's massive core audience. This is by no means a given, and although it's not a reason to give a film an Oscar, neither should it be - as has often been the case - a reason for disqualification.
Nowhere is it written, though voters sometimes act as if it is, that the Oscars are an elitist award for which mass-appeal movies need not apply. In a sane world, intelligently satisfying an enormous audience should be one of the things the Oscars are all about.
The key word there is "intelligently," and if you've watched more than your share of superhero movies, you know that quality is often in short supply in a genre dominated by business-as-usual boilerplate.
Coogler (who co-wrote with Joe Robert Cole) ensured that "Black Panther" would be an exception, in part by retaining his core creative team of collaborators, including composer Ludwig Goransson and production designer Hannah Beachler (both nominated) as well as editor Michael P. Shawver and cinematographer Rachel Morrison.
Adding costume designer Ruth E. Carter (also nominated, for the third time in a distinguished career) was icing on the cake.
The result is a singular superhero movie where the characters have integrity, intelligence and dramatic heft, and the crises and action are grounded in a convincing reality.
To call "Black Panther" a comic book movie is to mischaracterize a film that has more in common with grand adventure epics of the past, including "Lord of the Rings" and "The Man Who Would Be King" than with "The Incredible Hulk."
And there is something else - something that is both the most obvious and the most significant factor.
The filmmakers behind "Black Panther" were intent on creating a vibrant Afrocentric world and to bringing a culture Hollywood has habitually ignored or denigrated to glorious notice.
Not only are characters such as Michael B. Jordan's Erik Killmonger nuanced and complex, with perspectives never before articulated in a Hollywood blockbuster, but also the film's dazzling design references everything from Ghanaian textiles to a 5th century Nigerian script to the dress of tribes including the Maasai, Tuareg, Dogon and Zulu.
"Never before in Hollywood have we had the chance to show the continent intellectually - it had all been 'Africa, dirt floors,'" Carter said at the time of the film's release. "We were trying to understand ancient African culture in a way that didn't look 'savage' but looked glorious, kingly, warrior-like."
That approach embodies the truth that as filmgoers, we want all cultures and colors represented on-screen, because it makes for a richness of cinematic experience that everyone enjoys being exposed to.
"Black Panther" not only enriched America's movie culture but it also opened eyes all over the world. It was hands down the cinematic event of the year for the way its artistic and box office success led to opportunities for filmmakers to make their voices heard and audiences to experience settings and stories that previously would not have been seen.
If all of that, plus high-octane entertainment, isn't worthy of a best picture Oscar, I don't know what is.

Lin "the Beast" Chih-jeh regained his sharpest form in a three-point burst with nine long-range bombs on a 28-point night to lead Taiwan Beer past the Taiwan Mobile Leopards in a 81-74 win at the Taipei County Sports Complex on Friday evening.
The SBL's Most Valuable Player last season shook off a midseason slump that saw him average only 10 points per contest over a three-game stretch by converting nine-of-13 from behind the three-point line to help his team defeat the Leopards.
"It was a big win for us and me personally since I haven't been on my `A' game for nearly two weeks," the Beast said after the game.
It was his three long three-pointer's during the game-deciding fourth quarter, including a rare four-point play in which he was fouled on a made three-pointer, that broke a 58-58 tie and put the Beer ahead until the climax.
Four three-pointers by the Beast in the opening quarter quickly gained the Beer crew a 20-16 lead, before they made it 43-34 with a slew of perimeter jumpers to close out the half.
The Leopards would cut into the Taiwan Beer lead in a high-scoring third, behind the stellar shooting of guards Wu Yong-ren and Hsu Tseh-shin and eventually forced a 58-58 tie by the end of the quarter.
That was the extent to which the Leopards could run with the Beer, as the Beast came out firing in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.
Also starring for the Beer crew along with the Beast was fellow Amis tribesman Yang Jing-min, who poured in 20 on the night to give the dynamic tandem 48 combined points and account for nearly 60 percent of the Taiwan Beer total.
As for the Leopards, the flash of brilliance during the third quarter was not enough to eke out a win as they dropped six in a row, the longest losing streak of the season.
Pure Youth 113, Bank of Taiwan 73
Red-hot Pure Youth Construction continued their winning ways by trouncing Bank of Taiwan in a 113-73 blowout earlier on Friday. It was their fourth straight victory and their sixth in the last seven games.
The Builders took a huge 31-11 lead after one quarter of play on the strength of a 12-point outburst by guard Tso Tsong-kai and never looked back en route to the easy 40-point win.
However, the victory did come at a price, as they lost Tso for the rest of the season when he suffered a broken right arm after landing on it awkwardly following a midair collision on a drive to the basket.
"He [Tso] will be sorely missed," Pure Youth skipper Hsu Jin-tseh said after learning of his sharp shooter's misfortune.
Six different Pure Youth players scored in double-digits on the night, with reserve forward Hsu Shih-ching leading the attack with 16 points. None of the starters played more than 20 minutes in this game since it was out of the Bankers reach long before the final buzzer.

ing the already large number of Malay pirates, the Dutch ministry, in 1886, decided, besides making advances to planters on their crops, to purchase from their colonial planters five eighths of their production at a price that would entail a sacrifice on the Dutch treasury of about 40,000,000 francs, or 68,000,000.[1] And since then it seems to have been well established, that German beet-root sugar has been and is now exported half round the globe, and largely sold in Singapore, the center of the great sugar-producing countries of Asia, at a price which makes its use to the manufactories of preserved fruits more advantageous than the sugars of Java and the other islands of the Indian Archipelago. A like exportation of Continental sugars, artificially reduced in price, to Australia, also threatens with ruin the developing cane-sugar industry of these countries.
Finally, the states of Continental Europe, in which the burden of taxation is already most grievous, and in most of which there is a regular and increasing annual deficit, are beginning to feel that they can no longer endure the strain upon their finances which the bounty paying system to their sugar-industries entails, and which has not brought prosperity to them or the state. In this reaction, Russia has taken the lead, and is stopping her bounties as rapidly as possible; and all the other states exhibit unmistakable evidences of a desire to follow her example. The difficulty, however, is that so much of their respective sugar-industries as has been called into existence artificially would be immediately ruined, with great loss and suffering to a large number of people, if the bounties were at once discontinued; and the same result would follow by the putting an end to any possibility of exporting, if one, or all but one, of the states should cease paying bounties, and one, like France, should continue to do so. Earnest efforts are accordingly being made for the holding of an international congress, with the object of agreeing upon a mutual abandonment of the bounty system; and the official announcement has been made by the British Government that Austria-Hungary, Germany, Holland, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and Denmark have agreed to participate; Russia and France having not as yet declared themselves on the subject of attendance.
In face of this experience, the Government of the Argentine Republic has determined to appropriate an annual sum of $550,000 for three years, in order to stimulate the export trade of that country in beef and mutton for the European market.
The recent experience of France in attempting to stimulate shipbuilding and ship-using, through a carefully-devised system of subsidies and bounties, furnishes another illustration of the effect of gov-

A further idea of the depression of the sugar-trade in Java may be gained from the fact, that the imports of raw sugar from the island by Holland have declined—comparing the results of the year 1870 with those of 1885—about 90 per cent.

The U.S. Supreme Court will not consider Louisiana's gay marriage case in this term, the justices decided Monday. The decision means the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans can continue to consider an appeal from seven gay couples challenging the state's 2004 ban on gay marriage. A panel of three appeals court judges heard arguments from both sides in the case Friday. The Supreme Court has not decided yet, however, whether to take any of four other gay marriage cases from Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee, which have already gone through initial appeals. The justices could decide later this week to accept one or more of those cases for argument.

Any of the pedal nerds out there playing with this?
I've been using my Line 6 HX Stomp to great success for the past few months, but haven't had the headspace to dive into making IRs for my uke. Last night I figured out what I needed and this morning I cracked open my DAW.
Impressive results on the first try. Definitely makes the pickup pop in the highs like it's being recorded with a mic. Can be a little bright, but mixing it with the original signal seems to do the trick.
Some sound samples and info: https://liveukulele.com/gear/impulse-response-tutorial/.
If anybody is interested, I'm happy to share the IR file from my Moore Bettah into a Neumann KM184. Not convinced they're "there" yet, but good enough to be a deal better than what I had.
