(Madison) – Melanie Hampton, a member of the Dane County Board of Supervisors, was one of 12 Wisconsin delegates attending the 2012 Public Issues Leadership Development Conference in Washington D.C. She represented the Wisconsin Associated County Extension Committees, Inc. (WACEC) at the conference.
WACEC serves as the liaison between county government and the University of Wisconsin-Extension. It is made up of members of Extension Education Committees from each of Wisconsin's 72 county boards. WACEC provides a forum for consideration of county extension education issues.
The Public Issues Leadership Development Conference was held April 16-18 at the Westin in Alexandria, Virginia. More than 200 representatives from across the nation attended the conference, which featured presentations on topics such as alternative energies, community and food security, and youth and civic engagement.
Wisconsin delegates met with their congressperson and senators. Hampton met with Representative Baldwin and Senator Kohl. "We told our elected officials how important federal, state and local partnerships are when resources are so tight at all levels of government. We need funding from all three partners to continue offering important local programs through Cooperative Extension," Hampton said.
Supervisor Hampton went on to say, "UW-Extension's food and nutrition education program is successful in changing behavior right here in Dane County. In 2011, 89% of the low-income family participants improved their nutrition practices. I will work to provide the support for this and other Extension programs that support Dane county families and communities.
Cooperative Extension Dean and Director Rick Klemme also attended the conference. "I am always impressed with the commitment our county partners demonstrate when they take time to inform our congressional delegation about the value of their local extension program. I find that members of congress and their staff are very attentive to their constituents as they talk about their experiences with Cooperative Extension."

Ajax Performance
A blog by Ryan Breen of CloudFloor
Circumventing browser connection limits for fun and profit
December 18, 2006 on 11:14 pm | In ajax | 62 CommentsA few days ago, this video hosted by metacafe popped up on digg, explaining how to increase site download times by tweaking your browser settings to increase connection parallelism. To explain why this works, let's step back a bit to discuss how browsers manage server connections.
In building any application, developers are often required to make 'utilitarian' choices. Pretentiously paraphrasing Jeremy Bentham, 'utilitarian' describes an approach that 'does the greatest good for the greatest number.' Many times, sacrifices in performance are made for a subset of users so that the average expected performance of all users will be better.
Since all browsers were originally developed for a time when the vast majority of users were on bandwidth-constrained dial-up links, it made sense to restrict users to a small number of connections. The overhead of juggling many connections over dial-up makes it difficult for progress to be made servicing any of the individual requests. Also, web servers and proxy servers in that era were less robust, so keeping the per-browser connection pool small reduced the risk of overwhelming the network infrastructure.
To find a decent balance, IE and Firefox by default restrict users to 6 connections total and 2 connections per host for HTTP 1.1 connections. HTTP 1.0 is a slightly different story, but the benefits of persistent connections means that you should be (and probably are) using HTTP 1.1 anyway.
Of course, in the real world, these utilitarian decisions have a tendency to rot, outliving the time when they are relevant. Today, the majority of users have broadband connections, so client side bandwidth is not the gating factor. Typically, latency in retrieving individual objects is dominated by the time required to setup a connection and send a request. By increasing the number of concurrent connections, we can parallelize that cost and churn through the list of pending objects more quickly, leading to an increase in user perceived download time. "Lightning fast," to echo the hyperbole of the metacafe clip.
Unfortunately, relying on your users to modify their browsers is not a reasonable optimization strategy, so what can the concerned developer do to tap into these gains?
Most sites only use one host, so requests are forced to share the 2 connections to that host. One effective strategy to improve parallelism is to spread your content out across multiple hosts. This is not hard to do as browsers look at the hostname, not the ip. That is, images1.yoursite.com and images2.yoursite.com would each be allowed 2 connections.
As a practical example, check out this sample application Buddy and I built for our workshop at Web Builder 2.0. The album thumbnails are by default all loaded from the parent host, so they all share from two connections. Below is a sample 'waterfall' chart of the objects loaded for this page, collected by Gomez' external performance testing service.
The full version of the chart is available behind the link.
You can see from the graphic that only two connections (C0 and C2) are opened for musicstore.ajaxperformance.com. We are using HTTP 1.1, so we do not need to open a separate connection for each image, but we are still spending the majority of our time servicing object requests. The object times are dominated by the cost of requesting the images (the blue first byte time) and very little time is spent downloading the content (the red content time).
To improve performance, we created CNAMEs for images1.ajaxperformance.com, images2.ajaxperformance.com, and images3.ajaxperformance.com, all of which point back to our main host. This small snippet in our Rails album layout code spread each album image across a different host:
img_url = "/images/album_art/#{album.id}.jpg" if @perf_multiplex_images idx = (album.id % 3) + 1 img_url = "http://images#{idx}.ajaxperformance.com/images/album_art/#{album.id}.jpg" end
You can see the results by hitting the updated version. First load performance should be much better. As you can see from the below waterfall (again, the full chart is available behind the link), we are now using 6 connections to grab our images.
So what did that buy us? A lot, given the relatively simple change. Below is a head-to-head comparison of total page load time, collected over 24 hours from 8 locations around the country.
The average load time when using 2 connections is 7.919 seconds. The average load time when using 6 connections is 4.629 seconds. That's a greater than 40% drop in page load time. This technique will work anywhere that you have a large block of object requests currently served by one host.
There is plenty of precedent for this approach in real world Ajax apps. To exploit connection parallelism, the image tiles at Google Maps are served from mt0.google.com through mt3.google.com. Virtual Earth also uses this technique.
You can also use this connection management approach to sandbox the performance of different parts of your application. If you have page elements that require database access and may be more latent than static objects, keep them from clogging up the 2 connections for image content by putting them on a subdomain. This trick won't cause a huge improvement in the total load time of your page, but it can significantly improve the perceived performance by allowing static content to load unfettered.

Yeah, I should have been more explicit on that. Wildcard dns entries are a much more elegant way to solve this. We just modified the CNAME because we were too lazy to figure out how to enable wildcards with our hosting provider
Comment by Ryan Breen — December 19, 2006 #
For serving images i've found that it helps to use a function that will take a filename and output the same number every time, since with random numbers you risk eliminating caching.
Thus background.gif always gets served from images2.mywebsite.com, as opposed to from images0 on one page and then images1 on another. -

Tim, that's a great point. Using a consistent hostname is a definite win for caching.
Comment by Ryan Breen — December 19, 2006 #
To elaborate on what Tim was saying: it's probably better to hash the whole path to the file, not just the file name, in case you have many files with the same name in different directories.
Also, the original post didn't mention hostname resolution times. Shouldn't that be factored in?
Comment by Ned Baldessin — December 19, 2006 #
Ned, good question, but I don't think DNS times are important. In my experience, DNS resolution is typically an order of magnitude faster than connection setup and object retrieval time.
Also, the DNS queries will only occur once for each host, and they will occur in parallel since all of the connections are created at the same time, so there shouldn't be any effective difference between making 1 additional DNS query and making 3.
The graphs linked from this page include DNS time as a yellow bar, but it's so small that I can't see any DNS time for any of the initial connections to a host.

First we talk about most sites using a single server. Then we show some "simple" code from multiple servers and call it a small change. Adding multiple servers could hardly be considered a small change.
Now we have several posts talking about how to name your hosts to make those 4 lines of code more efficient. Trees vs Forest and the Trees are winning.
Comment by David — December 20, 2006 #
David, not sure what you're saying here. We are only using one server throughout this exercise, the simple code is just tricking the browser into thinking we are spanning multiple hosts.
Comment by Ryan Breen — December 20, 2006 #
I love this idea. I'd like to implement it on the site I run, but my only problem is that it's a secure site, and every hostname needs a security certificate (which must be purchased) or else warning prompts will rear their ugly heads. Anyone know of costless workaround? Thanks.
Comment by Georges — December 20, 2006 #
David, I think you're missing the point entirely…
The idea is that you make the browser believe the images are coming from multiple hosts… even though images1.host.com and images2.host.com and images3.host.com are all pointing to the same folder on the same host.
Get it? It seems redundant but the browser doesn't realize you aren't using multiple servers.. and thats the whole point.
Comment by Brendan — December 20, 2006 #
Georges, that's a great question. I didn't mention SSL at all, and that's largely because there are other costs to multiplying your connections in this way for SSL. The connection initialization step with HTTPS is much higher than HTTP, typically handshaking takes at least as long as creating the underlying connection, so using 3 times as many connections increases that cost enough to offset some of your gains from this technique. Also, the certificate cost you mention is another issue.
If you are downloading large objects over HTTPS, and content download time is a much higher percentage of transfer time than SSL handshaking time, one possible solution is to use HTTP 1.0 for your SSL connections. IE will open 4 HTTP 1.0 connections at a time to a given host, and Firefox will open 8.
This is a costly approach. From a server overhead perspective, handshaking is compute intensive, and you would be doing a lot more handshaking since every request for every object would now require its own connection. This would only really make sense if you have a relatively small number of objects that take the server a long time to generate or transfer.
I am working on a post about HTTP 1.0 to cover this in more detail, but it's the only thing I can think of in answer to Georges' question. I don't think it's likely to be a palatable answer. Anyone else have better ideas?
Comment by Ryan Breen — December 20, 2006 #
Brendan: Thanks — you said that much more succinctly than I managed.
Comment by Ryan Breen — December 20, 2006 #
Just curious, what happens with DNS load balancers? I don't know very much about them, since I only work on bitsy sites, but I've seen SIGNIFICANT performance degradations introduced by DNS load balancers (which seems to defeat the purpose, but some ISPs have load balancers, even for single hosts).
By the way, I've always considered Hot Rats to be Jazz *
Chris, that's a great question. My belief is that any sort of DNS resolution pain, whether it's caused by lame load balancers, etc, will be felt more with this solution because we are ratcheting up the number of queries we need to make. As I said in another response above, though, these requests are likely to fall in parallel, so the latency hit will only be felt once though it will cause a stall in all object requests.
But another outcome of this approach is that it will put you more at risk to expose intermittent name resolution issues. Since each user is potentially making 3 extra queries, an issue that crops up N% of the time is that much more likely to be felt by any given user. I still don't think it's a huge concern, but if you've had DNS pain it's something to keep in mind.
And I passed on your Zappa pointer to Buddy. I think Outkast and the Beatles are the token entries he gave me — the rest are his.
Comment by Ryan Breen — December 21, 2006 #
Chris, DNS Load Balancing is one of those things that you have to be careful of dissing. Most of the major CDNs use advanced algorithms when a client makes a DNS request to determine which server location to send the TCP request too.
In the case of CDNs, the performance "price" they pay at DNS is more than compensated for by the improved performance achieved by sending client requests to a server location closer to the endpoint.
Round-robin DNS load-balancing is ok for smaller sites, but once there are more than 3-4 servers in the mix, other options should be examined.
DNS load-balancing is a great solution to ensure data-redundancy, but there are other solutions available that will serve the same purpose.
Comment by Stephen Pierzchala — December 21, 2006 #
Chris, DNS Load Balancing is one of those things that you have to be careful of dissing.
Oh, I wasn't dissing it. As I stated, I write dinky NPO sites that seldom have a GPR greater than 3.
However, I did used to use an ISP that boasted load balancers as one of the reasons you should use them, then kept on telling me that the reason our site was a dog was because of their load balancer.
"increase site download times" ?
You mean . . . decrease, ya?
I don't really want to increase my site download time.

Ryan, you might be interested my findings on the topic of multiple hostnames from a few months ago:
http://www.die.net/musings/page_load_time/My simulations suggest that there will be much greater benefit for users further away in terms of round-trip time. You mention your tests were done from "8 locations around the country". Did the improvement vary with the ping times for these locations?

Danny, I'm an idiot, but in my defense no one else pointed that out in the last few days, so at least it was sorta subtle
Aaron, I'll take a look at the data and post a by-location breakdown, but it's certainly true that there should be a strong location correlation. We can add some international testing to further explore that angle.

Pingback by Using CNAMES to get around browser connection limits — January 9, 2007 #
This is an interesting analysis.
Concerning the HTTPS behaviour, I confirm that disabling keepalive gives good results. On a big site (4000 hits/s), we had to do this simply because the servers could not cope with the amount of connections (apache, you know…). We've been running without keepalive for about 3 years now and people never complained about page loading time. Concerning the CPU, it's not a problem. CPU is far cheaper than sockets these days. Maintaining a connection for 2 seconds instead of 1 is far more expensive than upgrading to a 20% more powerful CPU, because when you reach software limits (eg: 2000 apache processes fighting for the accept() lock) or protocol limits (eg: source ports on reverse proxies), you have virtually no solution except adding more servers. Today, you can count on about 125 req/s per GHz per opteron with 128 bit SSLv3 without keepalive. This means 2000 req/s on a quad opteron dual-core 2GHz. Depending on the application, this means anything between 5000 and 10000 users. This is really cheap. In contrast, with 16 GB of RAM, such a machine supports between about 10000 processes, which limits you to 5000 users if keepalive is enabled. It means that you can saturate your machine with 50% CPU free. Let's use it for SSL!
Comment by Willy Tarreau — January 10, 2007 #
Thanks for the feedback. That's very interesting. I'm curious how many objects you are serving per page. There is still overhead from the roundtrips for handshaking, but it sounds like that is not as significant an issue for your application as juggling all of those connections.
Cool stuff.

This is one of the best maintained site I have ever visited. Many thanks to Ryan Breen for nice and informative discussions.

I love this idea. I am an intermediate level hacker and would like to implement this idea. I was thinking JS on one cname, images on another, css on yet another. Problem is I am not good enough at understanding your code snippet to know how to customize this for our site(s). Is there a good resource on this, or do offer assistance?
I appreciate your help.

The Plumas County jail can now legally house more inmates, but it may be fiscally impossible.
For more than two decades the Plumas County jail could house no more than 37 inmates due to a consent decree ordered by a federal judge in 1992.
The judge took action following a 1989 lawsuit filed by a group of attorneys who charged that the jail was substandard in almost all categories ranging from staffing levels to the heating system to an inmate's access to mental health services.
"There have been significant improvements since then," Sheriff Greg Hagwood said. "This is an instance when a lawsuit actually precipitated improvements and the jail became a better facility."
So much so that the surviving attorneys withdrew their complaint and the federal judge lifted the decree after Hagwood, Assistant Sheriff Dean Canalia and Jail Commander Chad Hermann pursued the action.
The officials knew that AB109 and the release of state prisoners to local jurisdictions would strain local jail capacity. Hagwood said the average population of the jail has hovered in the mid-30s, just under the consent decree's 37 maximum.
The jail is now authorized to house up to 67 inmates, but can it?
"No," said Hagwood. "More inmates mean increased costs for medical services, food and staff."
More inmates don't come with more money. The Plumas County Board of Supervisors sets the jail budget and Hagwood said there is no indication that the supervisors will have more money to allocate to the jail for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1.
If staffing and money weren't issues, what would be the optimal number of inmates for the jail to hold?
"The mid-50s," Hagwood responded. "If we go beyond that and get to full capacity, there are increasing difficulties."
One of those is the ability to segregate inmates by gender, mental health issues, protective custody requirements and discipline concerns.
Hagwood cited small town relationships as an added issue for the county, since jail personnel need to consider what pre-existing relationships may exist that could prove volatile if inmates were housed in the same cell.
Hagwood said that the jail would have to increase staffing if more inmates are sentenced to jail. "If we're going to add inmates, we're going to have to add a proportional increase in staff," he said.
The alternative is early releases and electronic monitoring, both of which have already been used by the department.
While the consent decree has been lifted, problems still remain at the jail and the sheriff remains hopeful that a new facility is still a possibility. The county has been negotiating with Plumas Bank to purchase a building it owns on Mill Creek Road in East Quincy that would be transformed into a new sheriff's headquarters and probation department, with space for an adjacent jail. The state would fund construction of the new facility, but the county would remain responsible for its operation.

Crosslake Edina Realtor RuthAnn Lindstrom recently completed additional training to optimize her service to clients facing a short sale situation.
Short sales occur when a homeowner has a home value that is less than the mortgage amount on the home.
Lindstrom said a major bank sponsored the training in recognition of the expertise the real estate agent must have to successfully guide clients through the difficult short sale process. She added that banks must work closely with the Realtor and the client.

Unless you're standing in front of it you can't access it and with work diaries left in the office and immediate decisions to be made, there has to be a better way to keep the family ticking over smoothly.
There are a range of different calendars available so some careful planning is a good start – do you want one where reminders can be delivered by text and email and other people can be notified of events that might be of interest to them? The beauty of this system is that you can sync and access online and through iPhone, Android and Blackberry apps and, once started, it's surprising simple. Each family member can be assigned a colour so it's easy to see who's busy and who's free at a glance and everyone can make appointments for anyone in their family.
You can also create different calendars, such as work and family ones, and connect these so appointments added to the work calendar will automatically be transferred to the family one. A daily alert email is also an option, listing all the planned events for that day in advance and notifying everyone involved.

Let's talk about how to take great pictures at your kids' soccer games. That nice camera in your hands (or the one you really have your eye on!) is a fabulous tool, but you know you can create better photographs than the ones you've been getting recently. You're not giving up your day job to pursue a career as the next great Sports Illustrated or ESPN Magazine photographer — you just want to capture great shots of your kids and their teammates.
Your frustration is about to end, my friend! I've shot for ESPN, I make a living at professional photography, and I'm here to help. Prepare yourself to be a hero to your fellow soccer moms and dads!
You need a digital "SLR" camera.
A "point and shoot" camera will not get the job done.
SLR cameras, like the one on the left, do not have the infuriating shutter delay that comes with a "point and shoot" camera, plus the SLR optics and quality just can't be duplicated in a "point and shoot."
The top SLR manufacturers are Canon, Nikon, and Sony (there are others, but those are the big three). You can't go wrong with any of them. Most professional sports photographers use Canon, and so do I, but you can get great images from a Nikon or a Sony as well. SEE MANY CHOICES HERE. You can spend as little as $500 or you can drop thousands of dollars. Spend as much as you can afford and still have money left over for TIP #2: …keep reading…

Au contraire, my Detective, I read it.
You are very interesting, and that's a lot to go through when you're as young as we are. Same to Cupcake.
Also, I love to write and my best friend is gay.
Actually, my present novel is about a gay kid growing up in the seventies. I think it's pretty good so far. I mean, I hope. Haha.
Posted on Jan 7 2008, 02:38 PM
I care, detective!
A very honest profile. I respect that. I'm sorry for everything you've been through. I really am. Whenever you're feeling blue, just save this sucker to your computer and open it up:
Seriously though. It's true. Consider it a gift.
Ah, another runescaper. My brother is absolutely obsessed with that game. I never really got into it though. But I agree with you about the websites thing. The internet is great, ain't it? I can't imagine how I'd spend my free time if I'd never met you guys
Posted on Jan 6 2008, 08:40 PM
Thanks, I guess.
I'll live to argue with you another day..
Posted on Jan 6 2008, 08:33 PM
It pains me to hear about people who struggle with self-abuse and depression, because my bff struggles with those very things.
I assure you,
I care.
I know that you are a precious creation of God, made in His image and likeness. I know that you are a young lady with loves and hates, bravery and fear, strength and weakness. You are a person, and I care for you already.
I have always had an insecurity that people didn't care about me. I've always been able to socialize well, and people have almost always liked me, but I knew deep down that a year or two after moving away, I'd simply be a memory of "that boy... what's his name?" I felt I was never an impact on their lives, and that if I died, it would not phase them all that much. More recently, I have had this insecurity both realized and damned. I went through a bad relationship with a girl who, I feel, doesn't give a s*** about me, no matter how much a cared for her. But throughout that, countless others showed that I meant alot to them. That they CARED. Caring is what matters the most to me. Most of all that God CARED about me so much as to sacrifice Himself for my spiritual salvation. Also that my friends and family were there for me through that very hard time. Being cared about is what hits the deepest chords in people, and I assure you...
I care.
Posted on Jan 6 2008, 08:06 PM
you're welcome.
i'm glad that doesn't matter, it bugs me when people don't like me because of it.
well not so much that everyone's perfect, it's just that they don't care about rumors at school and crap like that.
Posted on Jan 6 2008, 08:03 PM
aw thanks.
i have no problem with that at all.
it's actually probably easier to like someone online than in real life. you only see what you want to see. it's so easy to pretend everyone is beautiful and everyone is happy and everyone's lives are perfect.
Posted on Jan 6 2008, 08:00 PM
i like you, you seem pretty damn awesome.
and i'm the same online, it's the only place i can admit that i'm anorexic, bisexual (i hope you don't have a problem with that), sexually abused, basically everything about me that i won't say in real life.
and you may think it's hard to care about someone you don't know, but i don't think it's that hard, i met my best friend on iconator, and i care about her more than anything in the world.
Posted on Jan 6 2008, 07:54 PM
Hey. I'm Eileen. If you're interested in learning a bunch of random facts about me, you can go to my profile on iconator and read it there. my user id is 267885.
Before you can understand me, you have to know where I came from.
I was born and raised in Southern New Hampshire. I have two brothers, one is one year older, the other is three years younger. I had one dog that passed away when I was in 7th grade, I got another one the next year, and still have him currently. He's a Westie named Mac and he is my pride and joy. My family has always had fish, but that's another story.
I attended preschool, kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school, always at the top of my grade. I was always a good kid. Never been grounded. Never gotten in trouble. Never gotten a B on a report card.
Sometime in 7th and 8th grade, I woke up.
My closest uncle succumbed to lymphoma and passed away at the age of 52. It has changed me forever. Instead of playing sports outside with the boys like the tomboy I was, I started staying inside, and thought. That's what I did. I just thought.
About a year later, I became atheist. I also developed my beliefs, engaged in debates, became best friends with a girl who had been through more in her fifteen years of life than your typical 80 year old. She changed me as well.
I really developed my personality and metamorphosized.
I had a boyfriend once, in 8th grade. We talked online every day for hours and hours, but were embarrassed to be seen together in real life. I haven't had a relationship since.
Life has been so hard for me. It's difficult to describe. I've been a loner for most of my life, having a very small group of friends, and being really quiet. I'm likely social phobic among many other things. I've been a self-injurer all my life, even before I knew what it meant. I've dealt with periods of insomnia, addiction to NyQuil, probably depression though I'm too scared to ever diagnose with something. When you have secrets, it's hard to talk.
Websites have been my refuge. You can say ANYTHING and don't have to fear what people will say in return. I have no problem admitting to everyone on here that I'm a cutter, and my guilty pleasures include cough drops, hand lotion, and runescape. No one judges me. Iconator is usually great. Something I'm actually good at can reap me some benefits. That Itunes gift card I won, I gave to my friend, for christmas, who had been falling away and I think I might have claimed her back. It makes me feel good to hear praise when I don't hear it anywhere else.
I love writing. Besides music, it's my only other refuge. I like to think I'm good at it. I wrote a book. I have to polish it, but I've had people read it and they've told me it's good enough to sell. My query letter is complete, and I can't wait to finish it and start sending the queries out so I can find my agent. My dream agent is Rachel Vater, but that's just a dream.
I care more about this book than I do college, or my future. The way I see it, the future is so unreliable I don't want to waste a moment on it. I could die in a car crash tomorrow. I live completely for today.
I'm neurotic, easily excitable, sensitive, self-conscious, selfish, pathetic, introverted, you name it, I am it. I like this site because I can argue my opinion without alot of personal detail going in to it.
Right now, in my life, I'm barely hanging on. I try not to let self injury and mental suicide threats overcome my life, so I resort to distraction measures like obsessing over Frank Iero and Chris Daughtry and Milo Ventimiglia, shows like Heroes, Lost, Supernatural and Jericho, and listening to music CONSTANTLY. Literally, constantly. Even if my Zune 80gig (which I named Milo after Milo Ventimiglia who is Peter Petrelli on Heroes) isn't with me, I'm listening to music in my mind.
I don't really believe anyone is going to read this, and if they did, I believe even less that they'd care. It's hard to care about someone you don't know and never will. I just want everyone to have a basis for who I am, that every opinion I have is not irrational and sprouted from my parents' beliefs. I am completely my own person. It's not a person that I like very much, but I'm unique.

Step Two: Matching Theme to Content
Once you've identified the heartbeat word or words, you'll need to consider the content notes you developed in Chapter 2. Using the first example, ask, "In what topics (literature, science and technology, history, arts and music, historical biography) does the theme of choice appear?" Think through your content carefully to find examples. Don't worry about matching them exactly to the assignment (whether postponing a choice is dangerous)—right now, you're only looking for a link to the essential idea of the assignment.
From the sample content in Chapter 2, here's what could work:
- The Scarlet Letter: Most characters have to make choices within the novel, including Dimmesdale's choice to refuse to acknowledge Pearl as his child until the end of the book.
- Guernica: Picasso's difficulty choosing a subject for his painting created a situation in which he became inspired by a massacre in the Spanish city of Guernica.
- The Great Depression: The U.S. government's decision to enforce the Smoot-Hawley Act is believed by many to have worsened the Depression because it reduced trade and led to retaliatory measures by other countries.
- Climate change: With the Kyoto Protocol, many countries are choosing to work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop alternative sources of energy.
- Thomas Edison: Although Edison had many setbacks and failures, including losing a fortune in a failed attempt to invent a practical way to mine iron ore, he chose to persevere, experimenting and inventing many useful things.
Notice that there is a link between every topic and the idea of choice. You might not be able to find as many links for every assignment, but two or three are enough to plan your essay. Once you've got a list of potential topics, you'll need to get more specific. Ask, "Is the idea of the danger of postponing a choice in any of these topics?" It's this question that will help you give a direct answer to the assignment. If there are three good examples in which postponing a choice is dangerous, these are the topics you should use in your essay.
Let's look at each example to find evidence of the postponement of a choice.
The Scarlet Letter: Dimmesdale chooses to keep secret the fact that he is Pearl's father, but he reveals it at the end of the novel. You could say, then, that he postpones the choice of revealing the truth. What are the consequences of that postponement? It means that he withheld his love from his child. Pearl calls him a "strange, sad man," and the weight of his secret takes an enormous toll on him both spiritually and physically. Once he reveals it, he dies.
Guernica: Picasso postponed making a choice, but what were the consequences? While he was waiting to decide on a subject for his mural, one presented itself to him. In response, he created Guernica, which is considered one of the most powerful antiwar statements in the history of art. This example won't work with the thesis statement.
The Great Depression: The Smoot-Hawley Act was a choice, but it wasn't postponed. But is there another theme within the topic of the Great Depression about postponement? Was the Depression worsened or lengthened because of some delay? In 1931, Britain and Japan left the gold standard, meaning they would no longer exchange their currency for gold. Both countries recovered from the Depression much more quickly than those that postponed suspending gold convertibility. The United States waited until 1933, and France and Italy did not drop the gold standard until 1936. Most economists agree that the delay in leaving the standard had a direct link to the length of a country's economic depression.
Climate change: The choice of countries to work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions may be seen as a positive step toward protecting the earth from the potential disasters of climate change. But what about the countries that did not sign on and ratify the Kyoto Protocol? It could be said that the delay in taking action against global warming may contribute to more rapid negative consequences of climate change.
Thomas Edison: Edison is famous for saying that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. But the inventor's postponement of calling off some of his experiments caused serious consequences for him. In 1890, he began seeking a more practical way to mine iron ore, which was needed by the steel mills in Pennsylvania. There was great demand, and Edison knew that if he could find a way to better supply the iron ore, it would bring financial success. He invested all of his stock in General Electric (the profit he made on his invention of the lightbulb). But after building a plant to process the ore and investing years of his life as well as part of his fortune, the venture was deemed a failure. Who knows what Edison could have done with the time and money he spent on this failed venture, in which he invested about 20 years of his life.
You may get a question about an aspect of modern society: whether people have become more materialistic or whether today's youth are less willing to conform, for example. You don't necessarily need to abandon your developed content to address these assignments. An effective approach is to use examples from the past (whether biography, literature, or history) and disagree with the prompt.
Let's use the second example: are youth less willing to conform today? To answer no would involve a thesis statement such as: throughout history, youth have been unwilling to conform easily to society's expectations. (Note the heartbeat words youth and conform.) By taking this position, you don't have to say much about today's youth—you can simply show through detailed example evidence that youth have always resisted conformity. Hester Prynne was a young woman when she had an affair with Arthur Dimmesdale. She did so knowing the risk of such an act in her Puritanical Boston society. Likewise, Edison did not conform to the behaviors expected of him in school. His mother wisely removed him from the environment (encouraging his nonconformity in the 1800s!) and homeschooled him.
This approach can work for almost any modern society—themed assignment. Remember, it doesn't matter whether you actually agree or disagree. You simply need to choose a side and support it with appropriate examples.

The Australian sharemarket drifted to a marginally weaker close amid lower trading volumes because of a public holiday in Victoria.
Investors sat on their hands ahead of a raft of US economic data later in the week, while figures showing a big widening of China's trade deficit weighed on the local bourse.
At 1615 AEDT, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was down 15.3 points, or 0.36 per cent, at 4,196.7 points, while the broader All Ordinaries index had declined 12.3 points, or 0.29 per cent, to 4,288.2 points.
On the ASX 24, the March share price index futures contract was 21 points lower at 4,195 points, with 52,051 contracts traded.
China's February trade data revealed a $US31.5 billion ($A29.9 billion) deficit, compared to expectations of a $US4.9 billion ($A4.6 billion) deficit.
Ord Minnett investment adviser Francesco De Stradis said the market should not have been surprised by the widening.
"The pare-back in their growth was telegraphed last year when they put out their five-year plan ... so it shouldn't be any surprise.
"But the market's obviously seen that as somewhat of a negative ... so that is probably an over-reaction."
The impact of Friday's solid US jobs growth numbers on the market had been lessened by the weekend, while Greece's potential for default was "just a sideline event", Mr De Stradis said.
All eyes will turn to the Federal Open Markets Committee decision-making arm of the US Federal Reserve when it meets in the United States on Tuesday.
Locally, market heavyweight BHP Billiton was steady at $34.71, while iron ore player Fortescue Metals Group surged 22 cents, or 3.9 per cent, to $5.86.
Rio Tinto fell 39 cents, or 0.61 per cent, to $63.74, and oil and gas producer Oil Search slipped 11 cents, or 1.54 per cent, to $7.04.
Major banks lost ground, with National Australia Bank leading the sector lower after finishing down 22 cents, or 0.93 per cent, to $23.34.
Macquarie Group gained 45 cents, or 1.74 per cent, to $26.25.
Other bright spots included David Jones, which firmed four cents to $2.73, and News Corporation which rose 21 cents, or 1.13 per cent, to $18.86
News Corporation non-voting shares were up 33 cents at $18.57.
Grains marketer Graincorp surged 34 cents, or 4.2 per cent, to $8.44 on market speculation of a takeover bid.
The followed news that commodities giant Glencore International made a $5.2 billion tilt for Graincorp rival Viterra, which has extensive Australian operations.
Qantas lost 2.5 cents to $1.655 after maintenance workers employed by one of the airline's contractors started picketing Brisbane airport over a wages dispute.
Stockland securities eased three cents to $3.05. The property group on Monday acquired control of the Centro Townsville shopping centre for $36.5 million.
National turnover was 1.62 billion securities worth $3.67 billion, with 450 stocks up, 499 down and 367 unchanged.
The price of gold in Sydney closed at $US1703.35 per fine, up 40 US cents from $US1702.95 on Friday.

Clear your head, forget whatever you ever thought a person knew about cardboard packing containers.
Clear your head, forget whatever you ever thought a person knew about cardboard packing containers.
Are they a somewhat modern technology? No, really it has been around for a long time, given that 1890 while Robert Gair initial mass produced card board boxes, even though "Paperboard" (Folded bits of paper to produce a box) containers have been around since 1817.
Corrugated card board was first created in 1856, and it was then some years until 1895 if the first corrugated field was mass produced. Then within a few quick years with the early 1900's nearly all wooden circumstances were becoming replaced with cardboard boxes.
However for many years almost all they were employed for was shipping goods as well as parcels. Indeed the innovators of corrugated cardboard boxes would probably miracle at what has become of the humble brownish box nowadays.
In recent years there was huge stress on companies to "Go green" and reduce the amount of plastic-type material packaging that they are using. The majority of plastic isn't biodegradable, and may sit in a landfill internet site for several countless numbers years just before it dips.
This has triggered many presentation companies looking at alternative materials.
One response to this since the late Seventies and earlier 80's, may be the development of pressboard packaging. It has meant that several packaging businesses have been investigating how they can utilize innovative cardboard box solutions to replace plastic-type packaging, while cardboard is biodegradable.
The people of the cardboard boxes box would certainly now be amazed to know that it may now be produced waterproof, which it currently replaces most of the drinks pots such as dairy, that would have been made of cup in their period.
Indeed they might be amazed to view modern containers being used to transport hot foods such as pizza.
The uses of the contemporary box are generally virtually endless, with fresh variations and ideas being got out every year. Pressboard is being employed wherever possible to switch plastic presentation.
Yet the concepts used in the production of die cut card board boxes could be traced back to one of the very first uses of cardboard bins, which was cereal boxes, 1st produced in The us and still in use today, in virtually the same format.
They are now in use with regard to shipping merchandise in just about any industry on this planet, from shipping and delivery books for you to multi-million pound electronic assemblies. This area still provides one of the most effective forms of security, despite becoming low cost.
