Hamish McRae: Europe's debt problems won't stop until it gets its head around growth
Economic View
Sunday 30 October 2011
Yes, but where will the growth come from? Eurozone leaders managed to cobble together the long-awaited deal to cope with Greek indebtedness and, in the short-term, this is encouraging.
It means that Europe can go into the G20 summit this coming weekend in Cannes with something that is sort-of credible; only, I am afraid, "sort of" partly because of the element of fudge and partly because of the huge longer-term problems of Europe.
Of the fudge, I am not sure there is a lot to be said at this stage. The reason is simply that we won't know how serious the softer parts of the agreement are until they are tested. That will take some weeks.
Why so long? Well, think about the implications for the markets that the cut in the value of Greek bonds to half their value is deemed "voluntary" and therefore will not trigger the insurance against default. It is a bit like so much general insurance: you think you are covered for your wallet being stolen but when you try to claim you find there is some fine print that limits the insurer's liability. So now we all know that sovereign bond insurance is pretty much worthless; that will temper investors' willingness to buy the bonds of any country they think a bit dodgy.
It will be several months before the full consequences become clear but the very first auction of Italian debt on Friday saw three-year debt being sold at just under 5 per cent interest, the highest rate of interest on such debt since 2000. Not a good omen. It is all very well going cap in hand to the Chinese for a loan and they may well chip in a bit. But they will want to buy centralised European debt, carrying a guarantee from the eurozone as a whole; they won't want the risk of buying the bonds of individual countries.
Still, the plan will buy time – three months or three years. There will be more eurozone crises, with ministers meeting far into the night and emerging with further muddled plans that patch things for a bit longer. We just don't know how long it will be.
Meanwhile the fundamental issue remains: where will the growth come from? Europe's longer-term problem is not just that it has become a slow-growth zone, though that is bad enough given the debt burden it is carrying. It is also that some parts are managing quite well – in shorthand, northern Europe – while other parts are increasingly uncompetitive. Instead of pulling things together, the euro has pushed them apart.
You can catch some feeling for this divergence from the graphs. They come from a paper by Andrew Bosomworth, the head of portfolio management at Pimco in Munich, the world's largest bond fund. His first point is that divergence is a fact, as the main graph shows. This groups eurozone countries into three: those that have been in broad current account balance; those that have been, in general, in surplus; and those in deficit. As you can see, those in surplus have become more so, while those in deficit have tended to run up larger deficits.
One unsurprising effect of that, shown in the small graph, is that the surplus countries have not had to rely on the European Central Bank to balance their books while the banks in the deficit countries have come to rely more and more on the ECB.
This does not tally absolutely with the list of countries that have received bailouts, or might need them. For example, both Ireland and Italy have been in broad current account balance but the former has needed a bailout and the latter may need one. But it supports the wider point that the eurozone has led to economic divergence.
The central point of the paper is that the piecemeal approach from the eurozone authorities is encouraging capital flight from the fringe.
"What before was unthinkable," he writes, "has now become possible. To reach equilibrium, we believe markets are signalling the economic and monetary union's leaders to choose one of two corner solutions: downsize to a smaller, stronger, homogenous group of countries or adopt a federation with political and fiscal union. Both choices are fraught with enormous financial and political challenges."
Which will it be? Well, of course, no one can know, but I find the comments by Kenneth Rogoff, the former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, now a professor at Harvard University, have an uncomfortably true ring to them. He believes that Greece will leave the euro within the next decade. Commenting on the package at a Bloomberg conference in New York, he said: "It feels, at its root, to me, like more of the same: where they've figured how to buy a couple of months. It's pretty darn clear the euro does not work, that it's not a stable equilibrium."
Only a couple of months? That's not good. So what could make all this seem too pessimistic?
It has to be growth. That growth has to be generated by structural reforms and those will have to take place against a background of fiscal restraint, not just in the troubled fringe but in the core: thus, France is tightening is fiscal policy in an effort to keep its AAA credit rating. But – and I think this is not said often enough – there is a huge skills base in Europe. The best European companies are excellent; world demand for the top-end goods and services they produce is soaring; productivity is, on some measures, even higher than that of the US. It is a frustration that a mixture of ill-designed regulation and high tax levels should hold the best companies back.
The point was put squarely by Simon Henry, Shell's chief financial officer, speaking after the bailout was announced. Shell is cutting back its investment in Europe to just 15 per cent of the total.
"Europe's macro-economic position can only recover, and the sovereign debt crisis can only be addressed, through underlying economic growth and we do not see the EU creating the conditions for that – in fact, quite the opposite. Most moves by the [European] Commission ... tend to ... reduce competitiveness of European industry. That's more of a concern to us ... than the sovereign debt crisis."
As world population hits seven billion, it's wrong to think you don't count
Seven billion people. A bit scary, isn't it – certainly for those of us who have been around a while. If you haven't already tried the cute app on the BBC website that enables you to work out the world's population on the day you were born, I suggest you do so. I found that the population was just over 2.35 billion. Ignore the spurious precision because, of course, we don't know exactly how many people there are in Britain, let alone the world.
But demography is hugely important to economics so it might just be helpful to pick out some key themes. One is that virtually all the growth is in the emerging world. Of the developed countries, only the US is expected to show a significant rise in numbers over the next 30 years (mostly from migration), though the UK may surpass 70 million. Another theme is that, within the emerging world, growth is tailing off in China and, while it is slowing in India, the fact remains that it will become the world's most populous country within a generation. Still another is that, for the time being at least, the fall in birth rates in Africa has been slow. The result of that is that the population of Africa is set to grow faster than in any other continent over the next two generations.
Put this together and it seems likely that the world will hit eight billion in another 20 years. The obvious question this raises is whether we can feed those numbers, but I think the more relevant one is: what kind of lifestyle can the world offer this enlarged population without putting too great a burden on its resources?
The trouble with this question is that it leads into debate where there is too much heat and not enough light. So, as our species reaches that seven billion point, may we greet the news with a certain caution, recognising that what we think does not matter but what we do does matter a tiny bit.

recommended plants for tall deep pots
I may be coming from the wrong angle, but as we moved into a new house we inhereted some wonderful ceramic pots. I have three urn shaped clay pots (two that are about 1.5' tall and one that is 2+' tall, and maybe 6" diameter) that look lovely on the front porch. The pot are reddish clay and the walls of the house and porch are blue/grey and concrete. So...I am taking recommendations for plants to put there, welcoming visitors to my home. (Kid friendly too, as I have 2 young kids). Oh yes, west facing with lots of afternoon sun (and especially warm on the concrete.)
The only thing I can think of right off hand that needs the depth but not the width would be something with a long taproot, like parsely. If you could get a small Italian Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens ÂStricta ) the tall-skinny would look good, but the plant couldn't be very big to fit that diameter. You'll need frequent water with that small diameter too.
I like to use trailing plants in tall pots. Examples would include low growing sedums, million bells, summer annuals like Petunias or Moss Rose (Portulaca).
With only 6" diameter, I would fill the pots most of the way with gravel, then pop a plastic pot of an aromatic herb such as rosemary in the top. I agree with Al that you will have to occasionally rotate plants, things won't last a very long time in those conditions.

A Database Modeler for Node; designed to help you produce easy-to-read, maintainable code.
A Database Modeler for Node; designed to help you produce easy-to-read, maintainable code.
The goal of this project is not to be everything to everyone. It is not meant to solve every possible edge case. Instead, it is focused on the most common use cases for data-driven applications. That being said, take a gander at the Documentation to see if sequel will fit your application's needs.
Sequel currently works with the following databases:
Add to your application via
npm install sequel --save
This will install
sequel and add it to your application's
package.json file.
Sequel does not have a database driver as a dependency, so you must install one separately from sequel.
If you are using MySQL, and have not already installed the
mysql package, you can install it with the following:
npm install mysql --save
If you are using SQLite, and have not already installed the
sqlite3 package, you can install it with the following:
npm install sqlite3 --save
There are a number of ways you can contribute:
- Improve or correct the documentation - All the documentation is in this
readme.mdfile. If you see a mistake, or think something should be clarified or expanded upon, please submit a pull request
- Report a bug - Please review existing issues before submitting a new one; to avoid duplicates. If you can't find an issue that relates to the bug you've found, please create a new one.
- Request a feature - Again, please review the existing issues before posting a feature request. If you can't find an existing one that covers your feature idea, please create a new one.
- Fix a bug - Have a look at the existing issues for the project. If there's a bug in there that you'd like to tackle, please feel free to do so. I would ask that when fixing a bug, that you first create a failing test that proves the bug. Then to fix the bug, make the test pass. This should hopefully ensure that the bug never creeps into the project again. After you've done all that, you can submit a pull request with your changes.
Before you contribute code, please read through at least some of the source code for the project. I would appreciate it if any pull requests for source code changes follow the coding style of the rest of the project.
Now if you're still interested, you'll need to get your local environment configured.
Configure Local Environment
Step 1: Get the Code
First, you'll need to pull down the code from GitHub:
git clone firstname.lastname@example.com:chill117/sequel.git
Step 2: Install Dependencies
Second, you'll need to install the project dependencies as well as the dev dependencies. To do this, simply run the following from the directory you created in step 1:
npm install
Step 3: Set Up Databases
Now, you'll need to set up local test databases for each database driver:
mysql: host: 'localhost' port: 3306 user: 'sequel_test' password: 'password' database: 'sequel_test' driver: 'mysql' sqlite: filename: ':memory:' driver: 'sqlite'
These database credentials are located at
Running Tests
To run all tests:
npm test
To run all MySQL tests:
grunt test:mysql
To run all SQLite tests:
grunt test:sqlite
If you don't have
grunt-cli installed globally, you can run tests with
grunt like this instead:
./node_modules/.bin/grunt test:mysql
The above should be run from within the
sequel project directory.

Miami Hurricanes future has a familiar feel to it
Several UM freshmen have family ties to Hurricanes that go back many years.
Ray Lewis III has his father.
Kevin Olsen has his brother.
Greg Golden has Uncle Al.
Al-Quadin Muhammad? He's got himself — and that old-school, Canes swagger that appears headed for legendary status.
"Some of the moves I have and some of the things I do is just God-given talent," Muhammad, a defensive end, said Friday at the University of Miami's media day. "Some things I do and moves I make, you have probably never seen a guy make before. You probably don't even see some of them in the NFL.
"Any move I see I put some swag on it."
The Miami football freshmen spoke to reporters Friday for what will be the only time this season — unless they play. They gathered outside the new Schwartz Center for Athletic Excellence, where media were given a tour, and feasted with teammates while being interviewed.
Muhammad, nicknamed Quan, is a 6-3, 230-pound newcomer from Irvington, N.J. In February, UM coach Al Golden called him "one of the premier pass-rushers in the country," and has been equally effusive this week, saying he was "twitchy" and as "high energy" as advertised.
"I guess that means a lot of juke," Muhammad said. "I basically do a pass-rush move on a dime. I'm a little twitchy off the edge. I give you a little head fake, stutter-steps, basically like a running back without the ball. I'm only a freshman so I'm taking it step by step [but] it would be great to break a sack record."
Also drawing attention was Lewis, a newly converted cornerback and the son of former Canes linebacker and two-time Super Bowl champion Ray Lewis; UM quarterback-of-the-future Kevin Olsen, the brother of former Canes tight end and Carolina Panther Greg Olsen; and Greg Golden, a 6-3, 192-pound receiver and nephew of the head coach.
All three seemed equally thrilled to be on campus and upholding the legacy, as their coach loves to say.
"It's definitely a little bit different than some of the other guys," said the 6-3, 200-pound Olsen, from Wayne, N.J. "It's awesome having somebody like my brother and trying to carry the legacy on. He was a big-time player here and I'm just looking to keep the name going."
Olsen, No. 19, said the college game was a major adjustment, and that it was tough, despite calling himself a fast learner. "The guys I thought were fast in high school are slow compared to the guys I'm throwing to out here."
The defense, too.
"You think something is open and if you're not right on time, if your footwork is off and you're a little slow, that window is going to close."
Lewis, all of 5-9 and 185 pounds, is another Cane who knows about fame. His father is a sure future Pro Football Hall of Famer.
"The best thing about being a Cane is the brotherhood we have and how we're going to shock people this year," said Lewis, who wears No. 20 and played running back at Lake Mary Prep in Longwood.
He said his father will "definitely" give him space, but will occasionally visit and, naturally, offer "pointers," such as a couple weeks ago when the elder Lewis came to Greentree Field to observe seven-on-seven drills.
"For him, I know it was a very incredible moment to come back to the same exact field that he played on, the same exact place he grew up and transitioned into manhood," Lewis said. "To watch his son growing up there, he always talks about that."
The elder Ray Lewis' words are inscribed in giant green letters on top of the lockers in the new facility: "EFFORT IS BETWEEN YOU AND YOU!"
"It's a bit weird at times," Ray-Ray said. "But then again it's also motivation."
As for No. 84 Greg Golden, from Red Bank, N.J., he said UM has been his "dream school" since he "was little growing up and watching [the Canes] win the 2001 national title. My dad was a walk-on here back in the day.
"I'm kind of a normal kid," Golden said. "I fit into the team. You just have to do the right thing on and off the field."
Golden, whose dad Greg Sr., is a bond broker in New York City, said the first time he called his uncle "Coach" was when the elder Golden was visiting New Jersey this summer.
"It was a little weird at first," he said. "But now it's cool."

Had no CLUE how many steps I took each day until I got a FItBit for Christmas. He's like a personal trainer I take with me each day - encouraging me to move more and collect 10,000 steps/day. I love how I can score lots of steps just doing a couple of laps up/down my street with the dog. And the scale has FINALLY started to move downward!
I'm a Personal Trainer that can"t get herself in the right mind set to Exercise198
I subscribed to the Fitbit Trainer, and it allows me to see the impact of the intensity of my exercise. My long dog walks don't burn many calories, but take a lot of time. When I have a specific CICO goal, Fitbit reads SP's Nutrition information and shows the gap. That prompted me to incorporate some intense exercise each day to make sure my exercise was paying off.
I got a fitbit and this little device tracks my steps calories and miles. I am so motivated to stay active because of this electronic pedometer. I'm taking the dog for longer walks, parking farther away, cleaning my house....

Market roundup: July 2014
South America
News and information from DW Portuguese for Brazil is now being featured on UOL (Universo Online SA), Brazil's largest online portal and the world's largest Portuguese-language news and information platform. After a recent cooperation agreement, UOL will now include a full-text DW feed on the website.

DW news content in six languages for Africa will soon be able to reach a potential 900,000 users via BiNu– an application that allows low-tech or "feature phones" to have quick and easy access to the Internet. Target regions include Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, and especially, Ethiopia and Zimbabwe.
CTH, the Thai television provider and DW broadcasting partner, has increased its range of service and is now broadcasting via the Vinasat 2 satellite. The expansion will deliver CTH's international programming package, which includes the English-language channel, DW, to 10,000 additional subscribers along with the millions of current cable subscribers.

Journalisitc expertise has helped define the Global Media Forum
An important part of DW's mission is sharing its 60 years of journalistic and media experience with the world. DW has organized a number of events at the 2014 Global Media Forum in cooperation with organizations and partners which represent the high level of expertise at Germany's international broadcaster.
Complementing the focus of this year's conference is a panel organized by the DW Akademie that explores the state of participatory and community-based media in developing countries. The session titled, The power of the neighborhood: How local media organize participation and how DW Akademie supports this, showcases three projects that foster grassroots journalism from partner organizations that span the globe – Welad Elbalad Media Services from Egypt, Open Development Cambodia and Plataforma de Periodismo from Colombia.
With a focus on the watchdog role of journalism is a session titled Whistleblowers, activists, journalists: Is advocacy journalism the journalism of the digital age? The panel includes an editor from Zeit Online and a professor of entrepreneurship and media literacy from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University. The emphasis is on how digital media allows journalists to shed their neutrality and take an active stance on social issues.
Those interested in the EU and public participation should look at a session titled, Turning disinterest into engagement through innovative media formats. Hosted by DW in cooperation with the Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations (ifa), the discussion explores innovations in social media and journalism that are combining to increase citizen engagement in social issues, particularly with the context of EU policy and elections.
At the intersection of social media and human rights is a talk hosted by DW titled, Revolution postponed. The Arab Spring and Africa The discussion brings together African social media experts and journalists to analyze the state of social movements all over Africa, whether it is the Arab Spring in the north to political protests everywhere from Angola to Zimbabwe. The panel will explore if the movements have lost momentum and what the future may look like.

How to create democracy and promote development with digital media
Digital media is changing the world and giving more people everywhere the chance to have their voices heard and participate in social processes. This year's Global Media Forum will explore the complex diversity of these issues along with experts, policy makers and interested guests from all over the world. With so much to choose from, we wanted to highlight some events and partners that you should look for at this year's conference.
A session hosted by the German Development Institute titled, Transcultural understandings of legitimacy: A pre-condition for global governance?, will explore the effectiveness of international institutions in achieving legitimacy on the ground in the different countries and cultures where they operate. The focus will be on increasing trans-cultural dialogue in order to create common values and common solutions.
The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom is hosting a panel discussion that will explore how social media is helping foster democracy around the world. The session titled, The role of (social) media in promoting and sustaining democratic governance, features guest experts from Lebanon, Egypt, India and Myanmar who will discuss how social media initiates and even stabilizes processes of social change.
A plenary discussion hosted by ASHOKA titled, Room for all? How social entrepreneurs in media are forging a new infrastructure for participation, explores the changing structure of global media. The discussion focuses on the role of the media and audience in light of digital media and where the traditional information power structure is changing to allow for the creation of a new public sphere. Challenges will be introduced like finding new audiences and financing, how to bring in new participants and ways to create new "information communities."
A talk hosted by Voices of Africa Media Foundation will feature a case study from Nairobi, Kenya that provided young people living in the cities slums the chance to become reporters. The talk titled, A case study in enabling residents from informal settlements to participate in decision-making, will showcase some results from the project which provides an example from Africa for how disadvantaged people can make their voices heard.
A workshop hosted by Wartburg College titled, A blueprint for building communities: Applying community-building practices to a news media company," will explore how the traditional business a model has changed for big news organizations and how they can adopt practices from social media to increase their relevance and attract new audiences.
And that is not all! There is much more to see and learn at the 2014 Global Media Forum. The conference starts Monday June 30 and you can follow the events with live updates on Twitter and Facebook or on the press website.

Using mobile technology in creative ways
Digital and mobile technology is changing the world but some effects may be less obvious than what you see every day. A selection of talks and presentations from niche companies to big telecoms will cover some innovative trends and techniques at the 2014 Global Media Forum.
A presentation hosted by big-data experts, Flowminder, and the United Nations University – Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS), focuses on how collecting and analyzing mobile data can be used in determining the extent and real effects of mass displacement following major environmental catastrophes. The presentation titled Big data, big insights: Mapping climate-induced displacement with mobile data, takes a unique look at how mobile data can be used to get accurate assessments of where people go, if they return and if proper aid is being provided to affected areas. The group will present the results of data analysis from five million anonymous cell phone users in the wake of Cyclone Mahasen that struck Bangladesh in May 2013.
Also exploring the effects of mobile technology on society and social development is a discussion hosted by the Vodafone Institute for Society and Communication titled, M-powering society: How mobile technology is changing society. The panel will discuss how mobile technology is being applied to create mobile health, mobile education and mobile government, emphasizing what makes mobile solutions more effective and the positive impact of mobile technology in developing areas of the world.
A talk hosted by the Grimme Institut will cover how digital technology is changing the way people express themselves and share narratives. The session titled See YOU in the future – new ways of digital storytelling, looks at how digital technology has given everyone a voice and has broken down social and cultural barriers. The discussion will explore future tools and platforms and introduce how digital stories are used in different areas of society.
In the final installment next week before the Global Media Forum begins, we will highlight some events covering the main issue at the conference – how digital technology is enabling increased participation in media and governance.

Protecting the fundamental rights of information and expression
The values of liberal democracy are firmly rooted in freedom of expression and information. These vital pillars of society however need to be protected as technology shifts the channels of information and new methods of control are applied. The current state of these fundamental rights in the digital world is on the agenda at the 2014 Global Media Forum.
The international human rights organization, Amnesty International, in cooperation with the German Institute for Human Rights, will cover these issues in a talk titled An ice age for privacy? The rights to free speech, information and privacy versus mass surveillance. The discussion will emphasize how privacy of information is essential to preserving freedom of expression by looking at examples such as Edward Snowden blowing the whistle on the NSA's digital surveillance and exposing institutional violations of privacy. The talk also explores how to protect the media and whistleblowers and how much privacy must be exchanged in the name of security.
Reporters Without Borders will host a discussion on how digital technology enables journalists to reach sources and gather news more effectively while at the same time endangering their ability to keep that information secure. The talk titled strengthening freedom of information and source protection worldwide, will highlight methods used by journalists to protect their information while analyzing the motivations of so-called "enemies of the Internet", who use digital technology for censorship rather than the diffusion of information.
Blogs have grown from being an informal method of online expression into a real force in sharing information, especially outside traditional channels which in certain cases are censored and controlled. In a talk hosted by IREX Europe titled The rise of citizen journalism and its impact on traditional journalism in Russia, the state of the blogosphere will be analyzed with a focus on Russian bloggers. Special emphasis will be placed on the Internet as a "digital battlefield" with new laws being used to restrict online freedom of information as online activists fight to be heard.
Next week we will look at selected examples of specific techniques and technologies that are being used in digital media and journalism.

A few moments with Andy (Rooney) that is
... 60 minutes. This Andy had the dream job. He wrote down his thoughts and got paid for them. He was a success because he connected with the thoughts of a great many other people who were too busy to think about stuff that matters. I think the essay that resonated with me the most was about what it's like to be broke, how easy it is to forget about those times, but how much more one appreciates a few dollars in the bank at the present time if ...

The next day was sunny, and we toured St. Augustine. Did you know this town was continuously occupied for over 200 years before the Declaration of Independence was signed? We toured the Castillo de San Marcos, the Spanish fort built to protect the town in the 17th century. We learned about coquila, ...

* Cellar Selection * A solidly structured wine, it is both elegant and intensely powerful. It is disclosing its fruitiness slowly, at the moment dense and concentrated. A restrained edge provides complexity and balance. It will need aging, so dont drink before 2022.
(5/ 2014)
Fabulous aromas of flowers with hints of strawberries and currants. Extremely aromatic. This is full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a racy finish. It is very finely structured but chewy and austere. I like the tension to this. Try in 2018.
(1/ 2014)
This has a restrained core of steeped plum, blackberry and anise, studded with tobacco and roasted cedar notes. The structure is silky but persistent, with an almost-succulent feel through the finish, while warm bergamot, singed cedar, vanilla and sanguine hints define the finish. Discreet today, but shows the balance and precision to unfold slowly with cellaring.
(3/ 2014)
The renowned Chateau Margauxs 2011 boasts a dark ruby/plum color as well as a fragrant perfume of spring flowers, sweet, supple, well-integrated tannins, medium body, and the elegance and nobility expected from a great first-growth. Although it is not as powerful or concentrated as the 2009 or 2010 (no 2011s are), it possesses finesse, elegance, purity and suppleness. The wine is surprisingly approachable already yet should keep for 15-20 years. (RP)
(4/ 2014)
Deep ruby. Aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, herbs and licorice. Spicy and taut, with dark fruit and herb flavors offering decent flesh and grip; seems to be shutting down. Finishes long and smooth: this really is a considerable step up from the Pavillon Rouge. I like this wine's tension but hope that it develops more sweetness of fruit and length with another five or six years in the cellar. 91+

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Gifted storyteller wraps biblical novel in beautiful lies and enchanting prose
Take careful note of the location of the apostrophe in the title. This novel is not about a single liar: it is about liars, plural.
There are, in fact, four principal liars here. And, no, they do not lie about Jesus, as you might guess. They lie about other things. They lie in similar ways but for different reasons. And they lie a lot.
This is British writer Naomi Alderman's third novel, released to coincide with the Easter holiday, but it is much unlike her previous two. Disobedience (2006), winner of the Orange Award for New Writers, was about contemporary orthodox Judaism, secularism and lesbianism in her native London. The Lessons (2010) was set firmly in the world of privileged British academia and explored the intrusion of a naif onto that turf.
The Liars' Gospel is very different. It is a kind of non-musical Jesus Christ Superstar.
The book is framed by and rife with ancient violence. The short prologue describes in wrenching detail the slaughter of a lamb in the Temple of Jerusalem, something that occurred so persistently that the draining of life-blood had become routine. Ritual, habitual death sets the novel's agenda.
Next is a thick description of Roman general Pompey's devastatingly effective but oddly clement invasion of Jerusalem in 63 BC.
The epilogue echoes and inflates this loudly, describing future-Emperor Titus's brutal siege, capture and decimation of Jerusalem in AD 70, an assault that knew no clemency.
In between, we listen to imaginative stories of Jesus (here called Yehoshuah to seize his Jewish heritage and forestall his Roman transformation). In four sections, tales about and from those in the orbit of Yehoshuah are told. The man himself is barely here. We only glimpse him, hear rumours about him, find out news of him after the fact.
The first of the four is Miryam (Mary), his mother. Her son is lost to her and is curiously replaced by a wandering teenager, found near-frozen in the hills.
She cares for him as her own and when his life comes into Roman peril because of his pre-existent commitment to her now-dead Yehoshuah, she lies to save him. She jeopardizes her whole village to save her phantom son.
The second of the four is Iehuda of Qeriot (Judas Iscariot). He is in Yehoshuah's inner circle but, of these, he is the only one with the nerve to contest him. He finds himself in a spot where he must do what he must do and he lies to sacrifice the life of Yehoshuah but preserve its message. And he lies ever after to preserve himself.
The third is Caiaphas, the high priest of the Temple in Yehoshuah's last days. Roman-appointed, he tends the Temple and its people. To keep them safe, he lies. Every day. It is, he thinks, for the greater good.
The fourth is Bar-Avo (Barabbas), a religio-political rebel since his mid-teens. He is prone to scheming and zealous violence. Brilliant, he is constantly initiating and even controlling riots but always eludes Rome's sword.
For Bar-Avo, Rome is an unjust occupier that simply must be overthrown, whatever the cost. Keen to die violently for his belief, he becomes a leader of thousands of covert rebels and his movement becomes more than a thorn in the Roman Prefect's side.
Pilate eventually is able to capture him and ought to kill him brutally and publicly but there is a wrinkle: Pilate has captured Yehoshuah, too.
He interviews both criminals as he deliberates their fate. Bar-Avo lies. Yehoshuah does not. Bar-Avo lives. Yehoshuah does not.
Alderman, who is in her late 30s, has a small Canadian connection. She was selected in 2012 by Toronto Margaret Atwood as her mentee as part of the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative. One assumes then that Atwood had some input into this novel.
Alderman is unquestionably a gifted storyteller and she knows why: it is because she, too, is skilled at lying. "Every story," she concludes, "has an author, some teller of lies."
She feels this so deeply that she finds herself forced to include an appendix, a "note on sources." Here she defensively asserts that much of this "novel" is actually true.
To document this, she quickly rounds up her sources: the works of the prolific Jewish historian Josephus, the Talmud and the Gospels of the New Testament.
Alderman is correct. Her structuring facts are well-grounded. Scholars of religious, political or social history would feel hard-pressed to dispute them.
On the contrary, they will envy her enchanting -- if unadorned -- prose, her canny evocation of sights, sounds, tastes and smells. They will marvel at the way this still-beginning novelist is able to evoke the past so vividly.
She's cherry-picked her data, of course, but she's wrapped it in beautiful lies and offered it as a sacrifice for thought.

Here's a quick look at what's out and what's in for IT in 2014.
What's out: Mobile, especially Mobile First. What's in? Experience First. Mobility has become a means to an end now. People now demand compelling, engaging, context-aware experiences that catch them in the moment, that deliver services when they most need or want them. People want an emotional connection to the companies they do business with, and mobility is definitely one tool that can be used to deliver that. Certainly, mobility is going to continue to grow, people are still catching up in certain areas. and it will be a critical delivery channel, but it's not only about mobility any longer. It's really about the experience. And it's a multi-channel experience, that will grow to include wearables.
What's out: general-purpose wearables -- Segway for your face? No, thank you. What's in, use-specific wearables like the new hearing device using mobile tech and Bluetooth. It's a tiny computer that uses advanced audio algorithms. It's got a wireless radio built in, and there's a smart phone app you can use to adjust frequencies and preferences. It comes from an entrepreneur who is coming from the Bluetooth headset space rather than from the medical device space. The goal was to be attractive from a cosmetic point -- it's not hidden. It looks good, instead.
What's out: Introverted IT and what's in, IT sharing more. There was a great article on this by Pete Waterhouse recently in Information Week. It's the end of the IT as a gatekeeper and the beginning of IT as an orchestrator. It's related to cloud and consumer-driven IT, but all of this is just a start. It is critical that IT act as an advisor and an enabler. Or, to put it another way, "IT as a service." IT must open up and become more of a collaborator with customers and business partners. It's all about "embracing your inner rogue."
Another IT gatekeeper that's out: Security as a fence. What's in? Security as an enabler. Applied correctly and creatively, security can enable teams to take advantage of mobile and cloud. The bottom line for security is to help the business deliver compelling, engaging experiences that customers are demanding. This is no longer a leading-edge approach to security. It's becoming a sort of table stake. Teams that adopt a "how can we make this possible" approach to security will be the ones that succeed.
What's out? Cloud. Cloud is gone. So what could possible replace cloud you might ask? Cloud. What's in is cloud. Cloud is still a key enabling technology especially in key growth areas, like mobile, multi-channel app development and Big Data or analytics, if you will. And make no mistake, many are still very early in their adoption of cloud services. Cloud adoption is going to continue to rise, of course, because cloud is now much better understood and it's definitely proven its worth. Even though its role is more critical than ever, and even though it will deliver more value than ever, we'll probably hear a lot less about it. Cloud is no longer the new shiny thing. We don't talk about server virtualization as anything special anymore. It's just what we do. Maybe cloud goes the same way.

The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...
