Demography won't be beat!.......2002-07-05

When I moved into France from my native Colombia, I was astounded at the number of old ladies with dogs and the paucity of mothers with babies and teenagers. Agequake confirms that this perception is just another aspect of the huge changes that new demographics will bring on within the next 20 years. The good news is that people are living longer. The bad news is that they are retiring at a younger age. And that, the longer they live, the more medical care they will require.

Wallace shows that the dependency ratios (the ratio of non-working "dependents" to working folk) will lead to a point where each worker will need to support not only himself, but a pensioner as well, and his own children, if any (and there will be very few). As the number of young working people, usually the more creative of all age-groups, continue to shrink, innovation will also came to a halt, and ultimately economic growth will vanish and then reverse the secular growing trend. While some environmentalists may feel overjoyed by this implosion of capitalism, most of us who rather liked material comforts and hoped that they would continue to grow endlessly will be less satisfied. The impact of the "agequake" will be felt in every sphere. Corporate hierarchies will make less sense when there are more middle-aged managers than young newcomers. The relationship between youthful and aggressive Third World Countries and rich older OECD countries (where elderly women will be the most influential constituency) will be fraught with dangers. Share prices will tend to collapse as the "Baby Boomers" start to retire and prefer to liquidate some of their assets. The housing market will be altered beyond recognition.

What can be done to avoid this future? Unsurprisingly, not much. Government policies cannot permanently improve fertility in rich countries, immigration in the scale required to make up for the shortfall of young workers will be politically indefensible, and the growing importance of older voters makes it virtually impossible for politicians to effect changes in fields such as retirement ages, pensioners' rights
or public health.

All in all, a sobering read. When these things happen, those of us who read it will have at least a headstart on everyone else. Not bad for a few bucks, eh?

Age doesn't just concern the old........2000-07-28

Paul Wallace offers an engaging and insightful examination of the prospects of an aging society. The title that wallace has chosen hints at the magnitude of the anticipated changes of a 'greying society'. Wallace makes extensive use of UN and OECD studies to wake up anyone who doubts that an aging society is not an issue that ought to concern them, their finances and business. For the more serious minded, there are plenty of specialist texts to consult. For a broad overview of the likely impact of an ageing society, wallace's contribution is timely and accessible since he spares us of a lot of technical jargon that may intrude (economists usually have plenty to say on this topic!).

Wallace constructs his analysis by building on the theme of his choosen title. Part one, explores the 'faultlines' that major studies identify, and awaits explanation in the next section, the 'tremors'. If you understand the logic of the opening chapters, then the 'shockwaves' should not be a big surprise. I suspect we'll have to live through it before anyone truly understands it. This is partly a get-out clause for political leaders who ought to urgently set out plans for, for example pensions reform, but since people and politicans don't tend to think and act for the long term, you can imagine wallace urging disapproval.

Each facet of life merits a mention; from ageism in the workplace, to the effect on property prices, spiralling healthcare costs and the impending 'pensions crunch'. While many of the current baby boomer generation are looking forward to early retirement, wallace leaves us to wonder if we, the younger generation, will have to work so much harder to share their (modest) ambition of enjoying their leisure after 40 years of labour?

A good read.

From the supplier: The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) has been touted as the replacement soil loss prediction technology for the older Universal Soil Loss Equation. It is shown that both temporal and spatial scales have to be taken into account if RUSLE is to be applied in geomorphic research. Environmental conditions should remain virtually unchanged from those used in computations if soil-loss estimates ar to be extended into the past.

From the supplier: Several different techniques for analyzing the risk associated with small scale water harvesting systems are evaluated. The results show that simulation modelling is better suited for this task as compared to decision making since it allows different hypothetical scenarios to be studied. Moreover, simulation modelling is capable of effectively quantifying physical and financial risks.

From the supplier: The Australian water balance model (AWBM) for semiarid watersheds is described. The AWBM is based on the shift from infiltration excess to storage excess during the generation of surface runoff in watersheds and the allowance for partial area runoff. It is shown that the AWBM is simple and may be used either as a stand-alone or in conjunction with a flood hydrograph model for calculating flood hydrographs at hourly time steps.

From the supplier: Trickle experiments were conducted on small runoff plots on grassland and shrubland at Walnut Gulch, AZ, to study the factors which control and determine resistance to overland flow. It is shown that the trickle approach resulted in smaller friction factor values as compared to the simulated rainfall technique. As such, trickle experiments cannot be used for modeling runoff and soil erosion.

Both KINEROS2 and EUROSEM utilize numerical solutions of the mass balance equation and time distributed rainfall rates as input. The two models are illustrated using examples to show their value in developing improved slope length factors in lumped models.

From the supplier: A new technique for the estimation of erodibility factor for the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation is presented. The technique described provides a better estimate of erodibility factors for aggregated clay soils as compared to previous methods, such as Wischmeier's nomograph. However, it is shown that the technique may not be appropriate for soils which exhibit strong disaggregation on wetting.

From the author: Modified Gelarch-type sediment and runoff traps were installed in an open arrangement on 16 grazed areas to assess soil loss as related to erosion susceptibility. Erosion susceptibility was defined as a function of soil erodibility, slope characteristics, and average vegetative cover during the rainy season. To account for variations in rainfall between the different study sites, soil loss measured was expressed in terms of unit soil loss per unit rainfall (g of soil * [m.sup.-2] x mm [rain.sup.-1]. Results show that the apparent erosion susceptibility is significantly linked to average degree of grass cover as a result of grazing intensity of the areas. In the upper range of average grass cover (i.e. between 40 percent and 100 percent) the effect of cover reduction because of overgrazing had little effect on soil loss. In the lower range of average grass cover, however, (i.e. below 40 percent) slight reductions in cover had serious effects on soil loss. The study showed that under the conditions of the area, average degrees of grass cover as low as 40 percent do not influence soil loss dynamics significantly. The 40 percent cover level seems to be the critical cover level below which soil loss becomes serious.

From the supplier: The results of a study conducted to assess soil loss and erosion susceptibility on 16 grazed areas revealed that soil erosion in those areas is strongly dependent on their erosion susceptibility. The study also indicated that soil loss was high when the grazed area had less than 40% of foliage, and there was little or no soil loss when the area had more than 40%.

Book Description

The oil boom prompted a massive flow of capital into the Arab countries of the world. While the investment this facilitated had clear benefits for the region, the developmental achievements of the boom decade are unable to match the magnitude of the resources directed to the development and the reasonable expectations invested in it. Yusif Sayigh draws a powerful and painful lesson from this experience which is applicable to other areas: Development cannot be bought. It must instead be soundly oriented and sought with resolve by society's leadership and by a people enjoying a large measure of freedom and political participation.

In Elusive Development, the author examines the historical factors which still affect Third World countries: colonial legacies and heavy dependence on the developed world for assets, technology, and thought. Sayigh rejects some aspects of dependency theory, and goes on to outline a powerful alternative collective self-reliance. In conclusion, he discussesthe conditions necessary for self-reliance to be feasible, and the dynamics and machinery required for its success.

Sensationalist, trivial and re-hashed from better books ...........2000-12-09

I've seen "Mr. Shaw" speak at s conference; I cannot describe adequately how much I held this presentation in disdain. Maybe this talk was valuable to someone who had just awaken from a 20 year coma, or in all seriousness, to the executive who doesn't have a computer on his desk and depends on a secretary to print out e-mail, because it was sensationalistic and contrived. To me, much of his material seemed completely repurposed from Evan Schwartz' work and full of lots examples why we should all "look out, or you'll be disintermediated". I'm sure this guy is off somewhere toiling on his latest book, which no doubt will get "5 star reviews" from his friends and associates, but save your money and consider Amor, Swartz, Robert Plant for insight.

Some of the negative reviews of this book seem to be from people who don't understand it's intent. This book is not for technical developers or architects - I do not even know why such a person would buy it/read it. It is for less technical management or for those who are looking to transition their skills - and want to start with some basic understanding. It's a good first step and very well written.
