text: DOWNLOADS Article (PDF-832KB) Short-term doldrums aside, the world's corporations would seem to be in a strong position to grow as the global economy recovers. They enjoy healthy cash balances, with $3.8 trillion in cash holdings at the end of 2009, and they have access to cheap capital, with real long-term interest rates languishing near 1.5 percent. Indeed, as developing economies continue to pick up the pace of urbanization, the prognosis for companies that can tap into that growth over the next decade looks promising. Yet all those new roads, ports, water and power systems, and other kinds of public infrastructure—and the many companies building new plants and buying machinery—may put unexpected strains on the global financial system. The McKinsey Global Institute's (MGI) recent analysis finds that by 2030, the world's supply of capital—that is, its willingness to save—will fall short of its demand for capital, or the desired level of investment needed to finance all those projects.1 1. See the McKinsey Global Institute report Farewell to cheap capital? The implications of long-term shifts in global investment and saving, available as a PDF download and as an eBook (both ePub and Amazon Kindle formats offered). Indeed, household saving rates have generally declined in mature economies for nearly three decades, and an aging population seems unlikely to reverse that trend. China's efforts to rebalance its economy toward increased consumption will reduce global saving as well. 00:00 Podcast What's next for interest rates The gap between the world's supply of, and demand for, capital to invest could put upward pressure on real interest rates, crowd out some investment, and potentially act as a drag on growth. Moreover, as patterns of global saving and investment shift, capital flows between countries will likely change course, requiring new channels of financial intermediation and policy intervention. These findings have important implications for business executives, investors, government policy makers, and financial institutions alike.Surging demand for capital Several economic periods in history have required massive investment in physical assets such as infrastructure, factories, and housing.2 2. Throughout this article, "investment" refers to investment in physical assets but not to investment in stocks, bonds, or other financial assets. "Savings" refers to after-tax income minus consumption, so any type of borrowing that increases consumption also reduces savings. These eras include the industrial revolution and the post–World War II reconstruction of Europe and Japan. We are now at the beginning of another investment boom, this time fueled by rapid growth in emerging markets. Across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, the demand for new homes, transport systems, water systems, factories, offices, hospitals, schools, and shopping centers has already caused investment to jump. The global investment rate increased from a recent low of 20.8 percent of GDP in 2002 to 23.7 percent in 2008 but then dipped again during the global recession of 2009. The increase from 2002 through 2008 resulted primarily from the very high investment rates in China and India but reflected higher rates in other emerging markets as well. Considering the very low levels of physical-capital stock these economies have accumulated, our analysis suggests that high investment rates could continue for decades. In several scenarios of economic growth, we project that global investment demand could exceed 25 percent of GDP by 2030. To support growth in line with the forecasters' consensus, global investment will amount to $24 trillion in 2030, compared with about $11 trillion in 20083 3. At constant 2005 prices and exchange rates. The consensus GDP forecast is an average of forecasts by the Economist Intelligence Unit, Global Insight, and Oxford Economics. (Exhibit 1). When we examine alternative growth scenarios, we find that investment will still increase from current levels, though less so in the event of slower global GDP growth. Exhibit 1 In 2030, global demand for investment is expected to reach $24 trillion. We strive to provide individuals with disabilities equal access to our website. If you would like information about this content we will be happy to work with you. Please email us at: email@example.com The mix of global investment will shift as emerging-market economies grow. When mature economies invest, they are largely upgrading their capital stock: factories replace old machinery with more efficient equipment, and people make home improvements. But the coming investment boom will involve relatively more investment in infrastructure and residential real estate. Consider the fact that emerging economies already invest in infrastructure at a rate more than two times higher than that of mature economies (5.7 percent of GDP versus 2.8 percent, respectively, in 2008). The gap exists in all categories of infrastructure but is particularly large in transportation (for instance, roads, airports, and railways), followed by power and water systems. We project global investment demand of about $4 trillion in infrastructure and $5 trillion in residential real estate in 2030, if the global economy grows in line with the consensus of forecasters.A decline in savings The capital needed to finance this investment comes from the world's savings. Over the three decades or so ending in 2002, the global saving rate (saving as a share of GDP) fell, driven mainly by a sharp decline in household saving in mature countries. The global rate has increased since then, from 20.5 percent of GDP in 2002 to 24 percent in 2008, as household saving rebounded in mature economies and many of the developing countries with the highest rates—particularly China—have come to account for a growing share of world GDP. Our analysis suggests, however, that the global saving rate is not likely to rise in the decades ahead, as a result of several structural shifts in the world economy. First, China's saving rate will probably decline as it rebalances its economy so that domestic consumption plays a greater role. In 2008, China surpassed the United States as the world's largest saver, with the national saving rate reaching over 50 percent of GDP. But if China follows the historical experience of other countries, its saving rate will decline over time as the country grows richer, as happened in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and other economies (Exhibit 2). It is unclear when this process will begin, but already the country's leaders have started to adopt policies that will increase consumption and reduce saving.4 4. Officials of China's government have said publicly that increasing consumption, and hence reducing the current-account surplus, will be a goal in the 12th five-year plan. See also the McKinsey Global Institute report If you've got it, spend it: Unleashing the Chinese consumer, August 2009. If China succeeds at increasing consumption, it would reduce the 2030 global saving rate by around two percentage points compared with 2007 levels—or about $2 trillion less than China would have accumulated by 2030 at current rates. Exhibit 2 Historically, as countries grow wealthier their household saving rates decline. We strive to provide individuals with disabilities equal access to our website. If you would like information about this content we will be happy to work with you. Please email us at: firstname.lastname@example.com Moreover, expenditures related to aging populations will increasingly reduce global saving. By 2030, the proportion of the population over the age of 60 will reach record levels around the world. The cost of providing health care, pensions, and other services will rise along with the ranks of the elderly. Recent research suggests that spending for the retired could increase by about 3.5 percentage points of global GDP by 2030.5 5. See Fiscal Monitor: Navigating the Fiscal Challenges Ahead, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Fiscal Affairs Department, 2010; and Global Aging 2010: An Irreversible Truth, Standard & Poor's, 2010. All of this additional consumption will lower global saving, either through larger government deficits or lower household and corporate saving. Skeptics may point out that households in the United States and the United Kingdom have been saving at higher rates since the 2008 financial crisis, especially through paying down debt. In the United States, household saving rose to 6.6 percent of GDP in the second quarter of 2010, from 2.8 percent in the third quarter of 2005. In the United Kingdom, saving rose from 1.4 percent of GDP in 2007 to 4.5 percent in the first half of 2010. But even if these rates persist for two decades, they would increase the global saving rate by just one percentage point in 2030—not enough to offset the impact of increased consumption in China and of aging. Together, these trends mean that if the consensus forecasts of GDP growth are borne out, the global supply of savings will be around 23 percent of GDP by 2030, falling short of global investment demand by $2.4 trillion. This gap could slow global GDP growth by around one percentage point a year. What's more, sensitivity analysis of several scenarios suggests that a similar gap occurs even if China's and India's GDP growth slows, the world economy recovers more slowly than expected from the global financial crisis, or other plausible possibilities transpire, such as exchange-rate appreciation in emerging markets or significant global investment to combat and adapt to climate change (Exhibit 3). Exhibit 3 Even if investment demand slows, the supply of savings still falls short. We strive to provide individuals with disabilities equal access to our website. If you would like information about this content we will be happy to work with you. Please email us at: firstname.lastname@example.com Implications Our analysis has important implications for both business leaders and policy makers. Businesses and investors will have to adapt to a new era in which capital costs are higher and emerging markets account for most of the world's saving and investment. Governments will play a vital role in setting the rules and creating the conditions that could facilitate this transition.Higher capital costs Nominal and real interest rates are currently at 30-year lows, but both are likely to rise in coming years. If real long-term interest rates returned to their 40-year average, they would rise by about 150 basis points from the level seen in the autumn of 2010. The growing imbalance between the supply of savings and the demand for investment capital will be significant by 2020. However, real long-term rates—such as the real yield on a ten-year bond—could start rising even within the next five years as investors anticipate this structural shift. Furthermore, the move upward isn't likely to be a one-time adjustment, since the projected gap between the demand for and the supply of capital widens continuously from 2020 through 2030. Capital costs could easily go even higher. Real interest rates can also include a risk premium to compensate investors for the possibility that inflation might increase more than expected. History shows that real interest rates rise when investors worry about the possibility of unexpected spikes in inflation. Today, investors are beginning to anticipate higher inflation resulting from expansive monetary policies that major governments have pursued. Finally, as the recent crisis demonstrated, short-term capital isn't always available in a capital-constrained world. Companies should seek more stable (though also more expensive) sources of funding, reversing the trend toward the increasing use of short-term debt over the past two decades. The portion of all debt issued for maturities of less than one year rose from 23 percent in the first half of the 1990s to 47 percent in the second half of the 2000s. Financing long-term corporate investments through short-term funding will be riskier in the new world, compared with financing through equity and longer-term funding. To better align incentives, boards should revisit some of their inadvertent debt-oriented biases, such as using earnings per share (EPS) as a performance metric. Sidebar LinkedIn Twitter Facebook Email How industrial companies should prepare for the end of cheap capital Imagine you are running an aircraft manufacturer, a utility, or any other capital-intensive industrial company. Currently, you receive financial benefits from the interest-rate float on your customers' down payments, relatively low interest rates on your borrowing, and your ability to finance operations with short-term obligations in the capital market. In a more capital-constrained environment, however, our analysis suggests that you and many other industrial companies could see returns on equity decline up to two percentage points through the combined effects of increasing market debt rates, pressure from customers to limit advances, and lengthening debt maturities.1 1. To understand how returns on equity could decline by 2 percentage points, imagine a company with €10 billion of revenue and €7 billion on each side of its balance sheet, including €3 billion of equity and €2 billion of debt. Around 1.5 percentage points of the 2-percentage-point decline in returns on equity could result from down payments dropping from 30 percent to 15 percent of revenue. The other 0.5 percentage points could result from increasing debt costs: say, 85 basis points because of longer maturities and a 150-basis-point increase in long-term interest rates. How can you prepare? Some likely moves are similar to those suggested by our colleagues at the McKinsey Global Institute. For example, you might want to seek strategic partnerships with institutions that have easy access to capital and liquidity, such as sovereign-wealth funds. Certainly, you'll want to boost your capital productivity, perhaps by redesigning your supply chain to require less working capital and by becoming ruthless about the efficiency of major capital expenditures. And you're likely to be the kind of company that seriously examines the viability of your business model, based on its need for cash and the resulting risks. Here are some specific steps you should consider that executives in less capital-intensive industries won't. Be prepared to finance demand. Customers might not have the cash or access to financing to buy your equipment. One response: develop and offer sophisticated credit solutions for your customers, as GE does in aircraft leasing. In extreme cases, you might even consider taking a stake in a proprietary bank, which would give you better access to market liquidity (including that provided by central banks) and enable you to build a more robust sales finance arm.Identify suppliers who can also provide funding. Don't forget the potential of your suppliers—some of whom have access to domestic savings pools in certain countries—to be a source of capital. A Chinese steel manufacturer, for example, could provide access to China's export bank. To prepare for a capital-constrained world, corporations should immediately start identifying suppliers with funding capacity. Monitor liquidity risks at critical suppliers. Since many suppliers will suffer in the new capital environment, you should think hard now about the "industrial ecosystem" whose survival is necessary to serve your customers. For the most critical suppliers, build a joint plan to help them cope with liquidity crises that might otherwise endanger their operations.Prepare for a liquidity crunch. In a capital-constrained world, the odds of a severe liquidity shortage rise. Now is the time for corporations to think through which assets they will divest to raise cash in a time of need, to create innovative financial vehicles, to diversify the geographies of the banks with which they work, and to renegotiate contracts with suppliers and customers. Changing business models If capital costs increase, companies with higher capital productivity—greater output per dollar invested—will enjoy more strategic flexibility because they require less capital to finance their growth. Companies with direct and privileged sources of financing will also have a clear competitive advantage. Traditionally, this approach meant nurturing relationships with major financial institutions in financial hubs such as London, New York, and Tokyo. In the future, it might also mean building ties with additional sources of capital, such as sovereign-wealth funds, pension funds, and other financial institutions from countries with high saving rates. Moreover, for companies whose business models rely on cheap capital, an increase in real long-term interest rates would significantly reduce their profitability, if not undermine their operations. The financing and leasing arms of consumer-durables companies, for example, would find it increasingly difficult to achieve the high returns of the recent past as the cost of funding increases. Companies whose sales depend on easily available consumer credit would find growth harder to achieve. Shifting investor strategies Investors will want to rethink some of their strategies as real long-term interest rates rise. In the short term, any increase in interest rates will mean losses for current bondholders. But over the longer term, higher real rates will enable investors to earn better returns from fixed-income investments than they have in the years of cheap capital. This change could shift some investment portfolios back to traditional fixed-income instruments and deposits and away from equities and alternative investments. For pension funds, insurers, endowments, and other institutional investors with multidecade liabilities, the world's growing infrastructure investment could be an attractive opportunity. Many of these institutions, however, will need to improve their governance and incentive structures, reducing pressure to meet quarterly or annual performance benchmarks based on mark-to-market accounting and allowing managers to focus on longer-term returns. This change would be required as institutions come to manage portfolios with a growing proportion of less liquid, long-term investments, since volatility in market prices may reflect market liquidity conditions rather than an investment's intrinsic, long-term value.6 6. See the comments of Blackstone cofounder Stephen Schwarzman on mark-to-market accounting during the Seoul G20 Business Summit: Sewell Chan, "Schwarzman takes on an old foe: Accounting rules," New York Times, November 11, 2010. Emerging markets, though they may present attractive opportunities, also pose many risks and complexities, and returns could vary significantly across countries. As incomes in emerging markets rise and capital markets develop, nonfinancial businesses can expect healthy growth from investing in both physical and financial assets. Returns to financial investors are less certain, however, particularly in countries with low returns on capital or savings trapped in domestic markets by capital controls or a "home bias" among domestic savers and investors.7 7. The home bias is the tendency of individuals to hold too little of their wealth in foreign assets to achieve the full benefits of portfolio diversification. See, for instance, Karen Lewis, "Trying to explain home bias in equities and consumption," Journal of Economic Literature, 1999, Volume 37, Number 2, pp. 571–608; Harald Hau and Helene Rey, "Home bias at the fund level," American Economic Review, 2008, Volume 98, Number 2, pp. 333–38; and Kiichi Tokuoka, "The outlook for financing Japan's public debt," International Monetary Fund (IMF) working paper, 10/19, January 2010. These countries will remain susceptible to bubbles in equity, real-estate, and other asset markets, with valuations exceeding intrinsic levels. Foreign investors will need to assess valuations carefully before committing their capital. They will also have to take a long-term perspective, since volatility in these bubble-prone markets may remain higher than it is in the developed world.A call for government action Governments will need to encourage the flow of capital from the world's savers to places where it can be invested in productive ways while minimizing the risks inherent in closely intertwined global capital markets. Governments in countries with mature markets should encourage more saving and domestic investment, rebalancing their economies so they depend less on consumption to fuel growth. Policy makers in these countries, particularly the United Kingdom and the United States, should start by putting in place mechanisms to sustain recent increases in household saving. They could, for instance, implement policies that encourage workers to increase their contributions to saving plans, enroll in pension plans, and work longer than the current retirement age. Further, governments can themselves contribute to gross national savings by cutting expenditures. To replace consumption as an engine of economic growth, governments in these countries also should adopt measures aimed at boosting domestic investment. They could, for example, provide accelerated tax depreciation for corporations, as well as greater clarity on carbon pricing—the current uncertainty is holding back clean-tech investment. They should also address their own infrastructure-investment backlog, although this could require them to revise government accounting methods that treat investment and consumption in the same way. In emerging economies, governments should promote the continued development of deep and stable financial markets that can effectively gather national savings and channel funds to the most productive investments. Today, the financial systems in emerging markets generally have a limited capacity to allocate savings to users of capital. We see this in these countries' low level of financial depth—or the value of domestic equities, bonds, and bank deposits as a percentage of GDP.8 8. See the McKinsey Global Institute report Global capital markets: Entering a new era, September 2009. Policy makers should also create incentives to extend banking and other financial services to the entire population. At the same time, policy makers around the world should create the conditions to promote long-term funding and avoid financial-protectionist measures that obstruct the flow of capital. This will require removing constraints on cross-border investing, whether through restrictions on pension funds and other investors or on capital accounts. Policy makers must also create the governance and incentives that enable managers of investment funds with long-term liabilities, such as pension funds, insurance companies, and sovereign-wealth funds, to focus on long-term returns and not on quarterly results that reflect market movements and can deviate from long-term valuations.At this writing, global investment already appears to be rebounding from the 2009 recession. The outlook for global saving is less certain. A climate of costlier credit will test the entire global economy and could dampen future growth. The challenge for leaders will be to address the current economic malaise and simultaneously create the conditions for robust long-term growth for years to come.

Verizon and Redbox are developing a new video service to compete against Netflix, which will combine Redbox's kiosk DVD and Blu-Ray rental service with streaming and downloadable video content made possible by Verizon's network.
Verizon and Coinstar (Redbox's parent company) announced the partnership today with a press release and press conference, saying a subscription service "and more" will become available in the second half of 2012. Details were limited due to "competitive reasons."
The joint venture will apparently not include DVDs through the US Postal Service, as Netflix offers. Redbox has kiosks at 29,000 locations nationwide, including grocery stores, convenience stores, drug stores, and at some Wal-Mart stores. "By offering instantly available online and mobile content with immediate access to physical media through rental kiosks, Verizon and Redbox will be uniquely positioned to deliver the best of both worlds—digital and physical—to consumers across the country," the companies said.
Verizon owns 65 percent of the new joint venture, which is also described in an SEC filing, with Redbox owning the other 35 percent. While Netflix is struggling after a shaky 2011, Verizon and Redbox will still have their work cut out for them. No mention of specific content was made, but Verizon said it will use its "industry-wide relationships with entertainment content providers" to ensure a good selection of movies online.

From Sam Flaks's article in the Harvard Law Record.
* * *
Dr. Jeffrey Sachs spoke to a packed hall in an address entitled "Representing the Voiceless: The Poor, The Excluded, and the Future," on the morning of Thursday, September 11, 2008. The passionate but precise economist called for the recognition of the intermeshed dilemmas posed by an overcrowded planet and an increasingly interconnected globe. Sachs' appearance was organized by Professor Jon Hanson, Carol Igoe, Jon Taylor '10, and an inter-year committee of students from Section VI.
Sachs, who is one of the leading international economists of his generation, is Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, Special Advisor to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and President and Co-Founder of Millennium Promise Alliance, a non-profit organization attempting to end global poverty. He is the author of numerous books, including, most recently, "The End of Poverty" and "Common Wealth". Given that "Time" listed Sachs as one of the world's 100 most influential people in 2004 and 2005, it was unsurprising that a standing-room only crowd packed Austin North to hear him at 8:15 A.M.
In his address, Sachs emphasized that the world faces many grave problems. He bewailed that the general public, politicians, and the media are ignorant of the desperate straits of marginalized communities living in the world's poorest places. Sachs confessed that he himself would have never understood the straits of deathly parched countries like Somalia without seeing them with his own eyes. The direct connection between the hurricanes and tsunamis that have killed hundred of thousands in recent years and the economic and environmental policies of Western democracies is being generally ignored. However, Sachs has made it his mission to educate others about these connections and to fight for change.
Sachs call for engagement was also starkly political. Though he criticized both John McCain and Barack Obama for not engaging the long-term geopolitical problems facing America, Sachs reserved his harshest criticism for the Republican. Sachs predicted that if McCain is elected, the probability of global crisis will rise a few percentage points. He described McCain's worldview as epitomizing the mindset that defines America and Islam in self-fulfilling and self-defeating "us and them" terms. In response to a question from the audience, Sachs observed that extremely impoverished places can not be politically stable. America would be safer if it devoted more resources to providing renewable energy rather than military spending, he said.
Sachs urged his audience of law students to use the technical skills that they were gaining in the service of ethical goals and to combat environmental and economic disparities that are spurring ethnic conflict across the globe. Specifically, he called for lawyers to support the legal foundations of international treaties that will be necessary to deal with worldwide environmental problems. More broadly, Sachs shared his belief that that the world's social problems could only be solved if people become more scientifically literate. He pointed out that many crucial threats facing the planet are recognized by the scientific community many years before the general public. Sachs recommended that everyone read Science to keep abreast with new developments that may have important bearing on social problems.
Student reaction to Sachs's address was generally positive, though many students left with heavy hearts. One student confessed that the Sachs had made him feel bad about his incipient career as a corporate lawyer. Indeed, another student who had come to Harvard to with the intention of helping solve international poverty admitted to this reporter that he avoided the speech because he was too guilt stricken to attend. Nonetheless, the electric humming at the close of the event indicated that many students had been inspired by Sachs' words and example.

In the upcoming weeks, The Situationist will post rough transcripts of portions of Sachs's remarkable talk.

This lovely heart shaped Orgonite® pendant contains brass, aluminium, copper and bronze shavings. It consists of clear quartz and Selenite all within an organic resin setting.
It is based on 50/50 ratio (50% metal/50% resin) which is required for the orgonite® to properly clean stagnant energy according to Wilhelm Reichs research.
It has a cute Sparrow in the front.
✨ Selenite ✨
Selenite constantly recharges itself, so you never have to worry about cleansing it or recharging it--ever! Selenite can cleanse, recharge, and program your crystals and gemstones as well.
Selenite crystals are remarkably peaceful. They carry a very high vibration, and instill clarity of mind and a deep sense of inner peace. Selenite will assist you in opening your crown chakra and it can even assist you in contacting your Spiritual
✨ Quartz ✨
Quartz is a power stone. It has been called the "Universal Crystal" because of its many uses. It enhances energy by absorbing, storing, amplifying, balancing, focusing and transmitting. It channels universal energy.
Quartz also enhances thoughts, as they are a form of energy. Because it directs and amplifies energy, it is extremely beneficial for manifesting, healing, meditation, protection, and channeling. It is also beneficial for storing and retrieving information of all types, as information is a form of energy pattern also.
This makes them particularly good for programming to use for a particular purpose. Due to its ability to balance, quartz is excellent for harmonizing and balancing one's environment. Quartz is also good for energizing other crystals.
What is Orgonite® ?
Orgonite® is a substance made of resin, metals and quartz that strengthens your body's energy field, helping to protect you from man-made EMF radiation and negative energy. These amazing metaphysical tools can help improve your life physically, emotionally and spiritually.
The main function of Orgonite® is to clean stagnant and negative energy. The best ratio is 50/50 resin to metal shavings. The more metal shavings, the better.
Orgonite® is a word that was invented by Karl Hans Welz for a material he made as a variation on the technology of Wilhelm Reich. He owns the trade mark for the word Orgonite® and Orgone Generator®.
I have been permitted to use the term Orgonite® and Orgone Generator®.
About Orgone Energy:
Orgone is simply another word for what is also known as "Qi", "Prana", "Ether" and "Akasha". It is a universal life-force energy which permeates all matter on earth. Orgone can exist in a positive, healthy form, as well as a stagnant, harmful form, often caused by modern technologies that emit EMF radiation. The side-effects of being surrounded by stagnant orgone energy include depression, anxiety, sleep problems, allergies, and other physical and mental health issues.
Dr Wilhelm Reich, an Austrian psychiatrist, researched orgone energy in the earlier half of the 20th century. He found that organic materials attracted and held orgone energy, while non-organic metal materials attracted and rapidly repelled orgone energy.
Today's orgone devices are built on these two principles. As a mix of organic resin and inorganic metal shavings, they simultaneously attract and repel stagnant orgone energy, producing a "scrubbing" effect which re-charges the stagnant energy. The more metals, the better.
Orgone also includes an encased quartz crystal which has a piezoelectric effect (it produces a small electric charge when put under pressure). This adds to the energy-cleansing effect.
This pendant has been hand sanded through 7 sets of fine polishing paper so it is shiney and silky smooth. It is created with loving intent to transform people's lives for the better.
Because it is a one of a kind hand-crafted one, it may have slight artistic imperfections.
It comes on an adjustable faux suede cord.

Martin Fowler says Mocks Aren't Stubs and talks about Classical and Mockist Teting. Dave shows slightly amusing set of photos about "ists" – Rubyists etc. Ist bin ein red herring. The big issue here is when to use a mock.
Overview of Stubs and Mocks
Terminology: test double – an object standing in for a real object (like a stunt double).
customer = Object.new
logger = Object.new
customer.stub(:name).and_return('Joe Customer')
customer.should_receive(:name).and_return('Joe customer')
# bad - very tightly bound to implementation
customer.stub(:name).and_return('Joe customer')
# also tighly bound to implementation
- Stubs are often used like mocks, mocks used like stubs.
- We verify stubs by checking state after an interaction.
- We tell mocks to verify interactions.
- Sometimes stubs just make the system run.
When are method stubs helpful?
Isolation from non-determinism: Simulate random value geneators or Time.now.
Isolation from external depedencies: e.g. external database or network. Have gave anexample or an ActiveMerchant test that takes 1.5s to run, and stubbed out gateway.stubs(:authorize).returns(AM:Billing:Response.new(true, 'ignore')
Polymorphic collaborators: e.g. employee that knows how to pay itself, uses a strategy. paymet_strategy = mock() employee = E.new(p_s)
When are messsage expectations helpful?
side effects: background processing
caching: only call a network zipcode lookup once
validator = mock()
zipcode = Zipcode.new("01234", validator)
interface discovery: tool to discover the parts of the system that you haven't really worked out yet. Mock something out that doesn't exist yet, while designing its interface.
Isolation Testing
All of these concepts are Isolation Testing – testing an object in isolation from others. This is a good fit when you have lots of little objects (ravioli code, as opposed to spaghetti code).
Isolation Testing in Rails
Rails is calzone code. Three layers: View Controller Model. These 3 layers are not the whole picture: browser, router, database. Standard rails testing:
- Unit tests: Testing in isolation. Test model classes (repositories), model objects, database.
- Functional tests: 2 or more non-trivial components work together. Test model classes, model objcets, database, views, controllers.
- Integration tests: Test model classes, model objects, database views controllers, routing/sessions.
This is !DRY
Mocking and stubbing you can do in Rails
Partials in view specs:
before :each do
template.stub(:render).with(:partial => anything)
template.should_receive(:render).with(:partial => 'nav')
Conditional branches in controllers: Stub new and save! methods of models.
Dave has a new project stubble on github: You will need to build RSpec locally to use this for now.
stubbing(Registration) do
# Stubs ActiveRecord finder and save methods on model
Chains are a new RSpec feature: user.stub_chain – some people say this is a test no-no, use with caution.
Guidelines, concerns & Common Pitfalls
- Keep things simple
- Try to avoid tight coupling
- Complex setup is a red flag for design issues
- Don't stub and mock the object that you are testing
- Concern: impedes refactoring (but some say refactoring is improving design without changing behavior, so tests should not change. This really depends what level you are refactoring at).
- Concern: false positives

How Does Troutdale Hypnotism Work?
For thousands of years the power of suggestion has played a major role in healing in cultures as varied as ancient Greece, Persia, and India. Hypnotherapy uses both the power of suggestion and trance-like states to access the deepest levels of the mind to effect positive changes in a person's behavior, and to treat a range of heath conditions; including migraines, ulcers, respiratory conditions, tension headaches, and even warts.
In 1995 the British Medical Association approved the use if hypnotherapy was a valid medical treatment. The American Medical Association (AMA) followed suite in 1958, and its Council on Scientific Affairs continues to encourage more research on the subject of hypnotherapy. At the same time, the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, a professional association of physicians, psychologists, and dentists, has grown from twenty members in 1957 to over 4,300, and attendance at hypnotism courses by physicians and other medical specialists is steadily increasing.
Approximately fifteen thousand doctors now combine hypnotherapy with traditional treatments, and recent studies show that 94 percent of patients benefit from hypnotherapy, even if the only benefit is relaxation.

Therapeutic Applications of Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy has healing applications for both mental and physical disorders. A knowledgeable hypnotherapist can facilitate profound changes in respiration and relaxation on the part of the customer to produce positive shifts in habits and an improved wellness.
A physiological shift can be observed in a hypnotic state, as can higher control of free anxious system functions generally considered to be beyond one's ability to manage. Tension reduction is a typical occurrence, as is the lowering of blood pressure rate.
Just recently, hypnotherapy has actually ended up being more widely used is a method of dealing with a variety of medical conditions. "Because hypnotherapy induces a deep, multilevel relaxation, increases tolerance to unfavorable stimuli, alleviates anxiety, and improves affirmative imagery, it can be adapted to make the most of the mind's contribution to recovery, both in and out of the healthcare facility," says Gerard V. Sunnen, M.D., Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the New York University – Bellevue Hospital Medical Center.
Examples of Hypnosis Being Used in A Variety of Medical Scenarios
Maurice Tinterow, M.D., Ph. D., and anesthesiologist at the Center for the Improvement of Human Functioning in Wichita, Kansas, has actually utilized hypnotherapy to manage pain for conditions that consist of headaches, facial neuralgia, sciatica, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, whiplash, menstrual pain, and tennis elbow. Dr. Tinterow has actually likewise utilized hypnotherapy is location of anesthesia in a range of surgical operations, including hysterectomies, caesarian areas, and for treatment of second and third degree burns.
Among Dr. Tinterow's earliest and most significant cases involved a fifteen-year-old woman who needed open-heart surgery. Since the lady showed adverse all anesthetic agents, Dr. Tinterow utilized hypnosis over a duration of eight weeks, and by the final session before surgery the girl was able to relax rather quickly. She was hypnotized before the operation and stayed mindful throughout the four-hour treatment.
The operation was a success, and today, thirty years later on the woman is healthy and living a full life.
Gary Lalonde, C. Ht., of Wales, Michigan, also utilizes hypnotherapy to deal with a range of health conditions. Among his customers suffered from reflex understanding dystrophy, a chronic condition where pain does not decrease and muscle function starts to weaken.
"This man pierced one of his feet with a 3 and a half inch nail after stepping on a piece of wood at a building website," Lalonde relates. He was treated for the injury, but his pain persisted and grew so bad that he might not return to work. For two years his condition grew even worse.
Lastly, a thermograph revealed that the foot's temperature level was eleven degrees cooler than the rest of his body. When his medical professionals told him it may have to be amputated he came to see me."Lalonde dealt with this client for 7 months using hypnotherapy not only for the discomfort relief, however likewise to explore any link between the male's condition and his unconscious beliefs.
It was discovered that within his unconscious mind he doubted his capability to offer his family which his condition took care of that require to attend to his household which his condition took care of that need by allowing him to gather employee's payment pay. Lalonde dealt with the guy to alter his belief. As he got self-confidence in himself, his discomfort began to diminish. At the end of twelve sessions, that man was without all pain and the temperature level of his foot went back to typical, something the doctors had informed him would not be possible.
Dentistry is another field where hypnotherapy has actually been utilized with exceptional outcomes. Kay Thompson D.D.S. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, routinely utilizes hypnosis in her practice. She describes how hypnotherapy was utilized to extract a molar in a client who was allergic to all Novocain-type drugs.
To prepare the client for extraction, Dr. Thompson taught her how to go into a hypnotic trance using hypnotic induction techniques. After one session with the client, Dr. Thompson had the ability to perform the extraction utilizing just hypnosis. Because the molar was so severely rotted, the operation lasted forty-five minutes, ye the client had no swelling or discomfort later, and even consumed supper that night. Meanwhile, a colleague who underwent a similar procedure, without hypnosis needed 2 days off from work since of an inflamed jaw, according to Dr. Thompson.
Hypnosis Does it Work?
The majority of people can find out how to do self hypnosis. "Most individuals are not aware that they can control their own healing and even affect their circulation." Says Dr. Thompson, who thinks that her patient's ability to manage her circulatory system through hypnosis boosted the recovery process.
Dr. Thompson and her coworkers have actually likewise utilized hypnotherapy to help treat hemophiliacs, and have been able to carry out surgery on these patients without them having any postoperative bleeding.
The long term advantages of hypnotherapy are starting to be substantiated. One extensive study of 178 clients struggling with chronic pain in between 1981 and 1983 reported that 78 percent remained pain free after six months; 47 percent after one year; 44 percent after 2 years; and 36.5 percent after three years. Another research study revealed the efficacy of hypnotherapy as compared to psychoanalysis and habits therapy.
After 600 sessions of psychoanalysis, 38 percent of the clients reported recovery from their conditions; those getting behavior modification improved in 72 percent of all cases after twenty-two sessions; while hypnotherapy produced 93 percent success rate after just six sessions.
How Hypnotherapy Works
"All hypnosis is self-hypnosis," states A.M. Krasner, Ph. D., founder and director of the American Institute of Hypnotherapy in Santa Ana, California. "The hypnotherapist is a facilitator" the truth that there can be no hypnosis unless the client is willing to take part in the procedure.
The client always enters hypnosis in a natural way, of his/her own accord, merely by following tips of the hypnotherapist or by following particular self hypnosis strategies. Typically speaking, hypnosis is an artificially induced state defined by a heightened receptivity to tip. The state is attained by very first relaxing the body, then moving attention away from the external environment towards a narrow variety of items or ideas as recommends by the hypnotherapist or by oneself (self-hypnosis).
In the superficial hypnotic state, the client accepts suggestions however does not necessarily bring them out. Clients who reach the deep, or somnambulistic, state benefit most from hypnotherapy. It is in this state that posthypnotic ideas (tips that take effect after the patient awakens from the trance) to ease pain are most successful. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 90 percent of the basic population can be hypnotized, with 20 to 30 percent having a high sufficient vulnerability to enter the somnambulistic state, making them highly responsive to treatment.
Research has actually shown that a person's body chemistry actually changes throughout a hypnotic trance. In one experiment, a young woman was unable to hold her hand in a container of ice water for more than thirty seconds. Testing revealed that the blood levels of Cortisol in her body were high indicating she was going through serious stress. With hypnosis, she had the ability to keep the same hand in ice water for thirty minutes while there was no raise in blood Cortisol levels. There are lots of ways of inducing hypnosis.
Regardless of what procedure is utilized, the main issue throughout hypnosis is to peaceful the client's conscious mind and to make the unconscious mind more available. Since the unconscious mind is basically non-critical, suggestions have a much better possibility of working that they would if provided throughout a normal waking state.
3 conditions are important to a successful hypnotherapy session:
Connection between therapist and subject
A comfortable environment, devoid of interruption
A desire and desire by the subject to be hypnotized.
Individuals who benefit most from hypnotherapy are those who understand that hypnosis is not a surrender of control; it is only a sophisticated type of relaxation. Dr. Tinterow had the fifteen-year-old girl on whom he carried out open-heart surgical treatment had her concentrate on her favorite sport of water skiing. "It was just a matter of having her take deep breaths, close her eyes, and feel herself unwinding from the top of her head to the tips of her toes," he recalls. "You start with the feet and legs and after that just have it go all the method to the top of the head."
Eventually Dr. Tinterow distracted the girl from the surgical procedure by moving her attention to what she liked to do best. "I informed her to image herself going to the lake and getting on the skis and water skiing. She was listening to music with her head set on, and we simply kept talking with her."
Dr. Tinterow even had the woman perform basic math issues throughout the surgery to ensure her mind was working effectively. Dr. Tinterow includes that after the operation the lady didn't even take an aspirin.
What To Expect During A Hypnotherapy Session
Hypnosis how it works: During an initial check out to a hypnotherapist it prevails for the therapist to deal with concerns that you may have and after that maybe show how idea operates in everyday life, in addition to explain what you can anticipate while in a hypnotic trance state.
Possible results according to Dr. Krasner include physical relaxation, distraction of the mindful mind, increased sensory awareness, decreased awareness of physical surrounding, and increased awareness of internal feelings. You may be evaluated for suggestibility based upon a range of methods at the hypnotherapist's disposal.
According to Diane Ulicsni C. Ht., of the Hypnosis Center for Heath, a great hypnotherapist will put in the time to get to understand you and do an in-depth analysis of your particular condition, which offers the hypnotherapist with insights into any pattern, belief, or behavior related to the condition, in addition to an idea of what the client's goals remain in terms of wellness.
A session will usually last from one hour to 2 hours. The number of sessions required to produce outcomes varies according to each person.
Is Hypnotherapy Safe For Everyone?
Although hypnosis is an extremely safe practice and an extremely powerful tool, it must be only be done with a qualified specialist. The National Guild of Hypnotists and the American Board of Hypnotherapy are 2 of the biggest schools in the United States.
Hypnotherapy is not a cure-all and couple of medical professionals are willing to invest the time and cash to master its methods. Depending on the severity of the condition, some patients do not make great subjects and are not able to reach proper state of hypnosis to be effective.
The Future Of Hypnotherapy
Because its official sanction by the AMA in 1958, more and more doctors have actually pertained to accept hypnotherapy's value and are making use of its methods. While hypnosis is still far from being completely comprehended, it is clinically respected and had actually attained practically unanimous professional approval.
Developments on how hypnotherapy may be applied to medical and mental issues are continuously being reported. In reality, it is now being reported that hypnotherapy is a treatment for post traumatic tension syndrome (PTSD) and stress and anxiety.
George A. Pratt, Ph.D., a scientific psychologist and hypnotherapist notes, "With its concentrate on the entire individual, hypnosis holds the great promise of ending up being a humanizing force for the field of medicine as a whole … REALIZING that even unconscious clients hear and keep in mind information that relates to them, doctors, cosmetic surgeons, nurses will communicate better with comatose, seriously ill, and anesthetized patients.

Founded in 1222 by Raymond VII in the first year of his reign as count of Toulouse, Cordes is now included among the bastides although Raymond's charter did not use this word nor was it so referred to in any other documents of the period. Nor does Cordes have the regular grid plan that is so commonplace among the bastides. Its spectacular site atop and along the slopes of an elongated mountain made such a plan impossible. More

Firebirds begin East Region tournament against Davies
The real season gets under way for the Devils Lake Firebirds tonight.
The Firebirds will tip off action in the East Region Hockey Tournament at 7 p.m. when they take to the ice at the Scheels Arena in Fargo against the Fargo Davies Eagles.
Make no mistake about it, the Firebirds will have their work cut out for them. As the No. 8 seed in the tournament, Devils Lake will have to work its way through a Murderer's Row schedule in order to reach the finals on Saturday.
The Firebirds will open their run this evening when they square off against Fargo Davies, the tournament's No. 1 seed.
Despite the odds, Devils Lake senior wing Damond Brokke said he things the team a chance to pull off a first-round upset.
"I think we can compete with them," said Brokke, who has played four years on the DLHS varsity. "We just have to play our game. It won't be easy, but they (Davies) are probably going to come in with their heads full. I guarantee they are looking past us, which is what we want."
Davies comes into the tournament with a 12-2 record against conference teams. The Eagles are 17-4 overall.
Davies heads into the action as one of the hottest teams in the state. The Eagles have won eight of their 10 games. During that span, the team has outscored its opponents by a 36-23 margin.
The Firebirds suffered tough losses in their two games with Davies, falling 5-1 on Nov. 29 and 6-2 on Jan. 17.
Devils Lake, 6-15 overall enters the tournament at 1-13 in conference action. The team's lone win on Jan. 26 in a 3-2 decision against Minot.
The loser of the DL-Davies game will play either Grafton/Park River at noon on Feb. 15 at Purpur Arena in Grand Forks. The winner will advance to the semifinals at 6 p.m. on Feb. 15.
Other first round games include matchups of No. 4 seed Grafton/Park River and fifth-seed Fargo South/Shanley at 7 p.m. in Grafton, No. 2 seed Red River and West Fargo, at 7 p.m. at Purpur Arena in Grand Forks, and No. 3 Fargo North and No. 6 Grand Forks Central at 7 p.m. in the Fargo Coliseum.

MTV's 'Teen Wolf' cast delights fans at Comic-Con
SAN DIEGO — Fans squealed and screamed, and some shed tears at Thursday's Comic-Con panel for MTV's hit series "Teen Wolf."
Before cast members like Tyler Posey, Dylan O'Brien, Tyler Hoechlin and Holland Roden took questions from fans, executive producer Jeff Davis announced the show had been picked up for a 20-episode, fifth season.
He also confirmed actor Dylan Sprayberry has been upped to a series regular.
"Teen Wolf" is a fresh take on the 1985 Michael J. Fox film of the same name. In the first episode, Posey's character is bitten by a werewolf, which turns him into one as well. He soon learns his town is filled with various packs of werewolves.
Davis says season five looks to filmmaker Steven Spielberg by focusing on "human problems instead of creating another mythology or creature."
One young girl who tried to ask a question of O'Brien broke into tears and dropped to the floor before he could answer.
"You can have my nametag if you want," O'Brien offered.
She then fell to the floor again.
Nielsen's Twitter tracking division consistently ranks "Teen Wolf" among the top-tweeted shows when new episodes are airing Mondays at 10 p.m. EDT.
Comic-Con is a four-day festival celebrating film, TV, video games, comic books, costumes and other popular arts continues through Sunday at the San Diego Convention Center.

The department of Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University has revamped the senior design capstone project. With the increased power and efficiency of computational tools and the direct integration of CAD, we have developed a capstone project with a simulation-based design focus that enables our students to design a full size aircraft to fulfil a specific mission profile. In addition to the simulation, the students are also required to build, test and fly a demonstration model.
The revised process utilizes a top down design paradigm which means that the students are developing and optimizing a complete aircraft, instead of optimized systems. STAR-CCM+ analysis was performed on all design variations and results were used to optimize aerodynamic performance.
STAR-CCM+ is an integral component of our course design. The tight coupling with the CAD systems and the strict governance of mesh and physics models allow our undergraduate students to perform complex analyses in a timely manner.

• DISPATCH is effective against killing Influenza A
• Cleans, Disinfects and Deodorizes in one step
• One minute efficacy on Bacteria, Viruses and Fungi
• Kills TB in 30 seconds at room temperature on hard, non-porous surfaces.
Ready-to-use spray cleaner disinfectant.
Cleans and disinfects environmental surfaces and medical equipment as well as hospital, veterinary and food contact, and hard non-porous surfaces in one step. Unique detergent and bleach dilution strength (6500 ppm NaOCl) is equivalent to the 1:10 bleach solutions recommended by the CDC for disinfecting. Meets both Universal and Standard Precautions set forth by OSHA and CDC.
Unique, stabilized bleach and detergent solution: DISPATCH® is a more convenient than 1:10 bleach solutions such as those recommended by the CDC for infection control protocols on many dimensions. It is more stable than bleach solutions and more pleasant to use. DISPATCH® remains stable through expiration date (two years from manufacture), unlike bleach solutions, which begin to deteriorate immediately. It is an excellent cleaner because it contains detergent and also contains an anti-corrosive ingredient that minimizes damage to surfaces and equipment. DISPATCH® is economical too – its ready-to-use format is easier to use. Concentrated bleach solutions are time consuming to dilute, must be diluted daily, and the diluted solutions must be discarded after 24 hours.
*Based on Federal EPA registrations as of September 2010. C. difficile spore claim has been registered by the Federal EPA and may not yet be available in all 50 states. Check with your sales representative for updates in your State. Use as directed on pre-cleaned hard nonporous surfaces.
