This is a short tutorial that aims at providing COSMOS participants and external interested parties with the necessary basic set-up information in order to open and manipulate the controlled vocabularies (CVs) developed in support of the COSMOS nmrML exchange standard. As COSMOS agreed to develop the CV in OWL syntax, this guideline focuses on the set-up of the open source ontology editor Protégé 4.x (P4). As Protégé is quite a complex tool, we recommend people just wanting to have a quick glance at the CV (without need to manipulate it) to open its HTML serialization in a normal web browser. The HTML version of the CV can be found under nmrML\docs\CVDocumentation .
The decision to represent the nmrML CV in OWL rather than OBO format was made for the following reasons:
· OWL is the W3C recommended standard for ontologies. It uis used widely in life sciences and beyond.
· A plethora of open source tools and libraries is available for OWL.
· OWL allows easy extension of formal semantics up to full description logics (DL).
· Major Top level ontologies (BFO, DOLCE) and bio-upper level ontologies (Biotop) are available in OWL format.
· OWL is based on XML and RDF, hence we foresee an easy migration towards future Open Linked Data approaches.
· W3C supported query languages like SPARQL and rule set-ups like SWRL exist that also integrate well with P4, e.g. are available as Protégé plugins.
· The Protégé editor is pretty robust compared to OBO Edit. Many free plugins are available covering most needs: http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/Protege-OWL_4.0
This document will be amended as-we-go according to the development stage of the CV and the skill level of the CV editors.
This document does not describe the CVs design principles. Documentations for these will be derived from http://www.psidev.info/sites/default/files/CommunityPractice-revised.doc where applicable.
This document does not describe the CVs term request pipeline. Documentations for these will be derived from the PSI 10 Minute guide to new CV terms currently found https://github.com/nmrML/nmrML/blob/master/docs/CVDocumentation/PSI-Ten_minutes_guide_for_requesting_new_CV_terms.docx We will only need such term request guideline once the first version has been released. We can look how the OBI ontology does it, but keep it simple and pragmatic.
Setting up & configurating Protege 4.x for COSMOS nmr-CV editing
Download & Install Protégé 4.x
Set-up Github reposiotory to get access to CV.owl file
A few words on how P4 stores its set-up Preferences

Download & Install the latest Java-based Protégé 4 form http://protege.stanford.edu/download/download.html , as described at http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/Protege-OWL_4_FAQ#How_do_I_install_Protege-OWL.3F
Start Protégé via its .exe or .bat file. A new default ontology will be created & displayed. Ignore it and open the latest nmrMLv.x.owl file in the Github at: nmrML\ontologies via File/Open.
Basic Instructions for using P4 is given here: http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/Protege4GettingStarted
Install a github client, e.g. tortoise git for Windows. Check out the master repository from https://github.com/nmrML/nmrML
Before running the Protege 4, please check that there is a file catelog-v0001.xml in the ontologies directory. The file is needed for Protege 4 to find where the imported ontologies are. Start P4. Choose open owl ontology. Select and open the latest version of the nmrMLCV.owl from your local git directory, e.g. nmrML\ontologies\nmrMLv1.0.owl
We should have something less complicated but related as the OBO community uses, e.g. https://docs.google.com/document/d/14gVHOOZZaiUpCPUUXyG72WYaTN861-WsARGj2kuljjE/edit . We discussed coupling git milestones to release versions. We also need to agree on unit tests to be done prior to a release.
When an ontology is opened, P4 will open the first pane, the Active Ontology tab (to the left) per default, which will display the general metadata, import structure (http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/Importing_Ontologies_in_P41) and ontology metrics, pertaining to the whole representational artefact/CV rather than to singular representational units. For class editing you will use the Classes tab. Within a tab you can freely configure the GUI’s appearance by selected ‘views’ (http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/Protege4Views).
A general overview of how P4 can be configured to your general needs (Set preferences) can be found at http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/Protege4Preferences . All preferences specific to our nmrML CV set-up are explained in this document.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me (DS) via email or the nmrML list at https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/nmrml/join
Protege 4 uses the Java Preferences API to store user preferences and activity. This allows for persistence of preference data across installations of Protege 4.x, e.g., recently opened ontologies, rendering preferences, location of Graphviz (used by the OWLViz plug-in), etc. The storage location of these preferences varies according to your operating system:
· Linux - stored in ~/.java/.userPrefs
· Mac OS X - stored in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.java.util.prefs.plist
· Windows - stored in the Windows Registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/JavaSoft/Prefs
Occasionally, users may need to clear the Java Preferences to fix errors displayed by Protege. Preferences can either be deleted manually, or via a tool called the Java Preferences User Interface.
For example under Windows you can access and edit these preferences by typing “regedit” in the command line (Start/Run) and traverse the file path to the Prefs//P/R/O/T/E/G/E/_/P/R/E/F/E/R/E/N/C/E/S folder. In the application_preferences you will find a subfolder called HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\/P/R/O/T/E/G/E_/P/R/E/F/E/R/E/N/C/E/S\application_preferences\org.protege.editor.owl.entity.creation
In here, e.g. the ID setup for newly generated CV terms is stored (entity.creation).
For all further preferences you proceed in the same way[1]. For more information look at http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/ClearingP4Preferences
As this is rather complicated, we recommend to just do the preference settings manually on your computer from within P4s preferences Tab (see below).
Set the renderer to use labels rather than the unintuitive IDs when displaying the class hierarchy (to the left of the GUI): Under File/preferences/Renderer tick the render by annotation property and hit “configure”. Then set it to display rdfs:label rather than rdf:about or rdf:id[2]. Set View/render by label. This will display the classes in the Class Tab/hierarchy pane by the classes rdfs:label, given one is provided. If no label is provided, the renderer will still display the class by its ID.
If classes are still displaying as IDs, go the the 'Renderer tab', click on the 'Annotations ...' button, select 'label', leave the language column blank and hit ok.
In the Active Ontology pane/Ontology header/Ontology IRI[d1] field we put http://nmrML.org/nmrML [3] to set the active ontology’s namespace in accordance to the one of the XSD (xmlns:nmrML=http://nmrML.org/nmrML ).
The active ontologies namespace (also called ontology IRI or base Fragment, e.g. http://nmrML.org ) plus an entity IRI (base Fragment (Term ID), e.g. nmrML_1000559) will comprise the entities Full IRI, e.g. http://nmrML.org/nmrML_1000559 , which should be dereferencable.
Before editing the CV you need to make P4 aware of how you want a newly generated class/terms’ ID (also called the Entities IRI, to be stored as rdfs:about or rdf:id value) to look like, i.e. you need to specify that we want semantics-free numeric IDs [d2] rather than human readable meaningful ones (to be captured by the rdfs:label field). For our nmrML CV, we should align the ID scheme to generate IDs like NMR:1000442, i.e. Short NS prefix ended by colon followed by 7 digits ranging from 1000000 to 1100000. This means we need to specify the CVs ID Prefix (“NMR:[4]”), the amount of digits the number should have and its numeric range. This is done in the File/Preferences/New Entities Tab:
This will generate the following registry entry in Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\/P/R/O/T/E/G/E_/P/R/E/F/E/R/E/N/C/E/S\application_preferences\org.protege.editor.owl.entity.creation]

A corresponding P4EntityCreation.reg file can be found in the CVDocumentation github folder. On Windows you can just double-click and run it and it will update your Registry accordingly with the new preference settings for the nmrML CV term ID generation.
To provide some guidance on how a meaningful and unambiguous term /class label should look like, the OBO Foundry has provided a set of naming conventions (http://obofoundry.org/wiki/index.php/Naming ). Within P4 we can define labelling Checks via the P4 plugin OntoCheck: http://www.imbi.uni-freiburg.de/ontology/OntoCheck
To open larger and complex ontologies you should increase the RAM heap size to be >3GB. This is explained at http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/Setting_Heap_Size
There is a configuration file, catalog-v001.xml, which sets Protege to load imported ontologies from local files.
There are multiple ways to do this. The easiest would be using owl: Deprecated Class, owl: Deprecated Property. Alternatively we can re-use the policy specified for OBI at http://obi-ontology.org/page/OBIDeprecationPolicy.
Deprecated terms should be advertised at the nmrML mailing list prior to deprecation. The terms can be deprecated if no objections are raised within a week.
Step by step (taken for OBI, so ignore annotation property usage for the moment):
1. remove any child of term-to-be-deprecated to sensible parent, drag and drop one by one
2. remove all logical axioms of term-to-be-deprecated, you can copy axioms to the editor notes as record
3. make sure no any other terms use term-to-be-deprecated, check usage tab
4. add reason for deprecation property to the term-to-be-deprecated by adding annotation 'has obsolescence reason', choose predefined terms (e.g. 'failed exploratory term' , 'placeholder removed' , 'terms merged' , 'term imported' , 'term split') from 'Entity IRI' tab's 'Individuals' tab and add replacement term property if there is one
5. add prefix to rdfs label obsolete_
6. remove from existing parent class
7. add annotation 'deprecated' with value "true" and type "boolean"
8. save
9. reason over in P4, check consistency - if you leave the old parent and the obsolete one will generate an inconsistency
10. if OK check in as a new file with an git log
[1] I am hesitant to recommend to export the whole HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\/P/R/O/T/E/G/E_/P/R/E/F/E/R/E/N/C/E/S folder, as it may contain country and language specific setting not applicable to your local environment.
[2] On the difference, look at http://answers.semanticweb.com/questions/2189/should-i-use-rdfabout-or-rdfid
[3] Or should we (rather than having the same NS for both CV and XSD) have an own NS for the CV, e.g. http://nmrML.org/nmrCV ?
[4] Should we use the full URL path here ? E.g. http://nmrML.org/nmrCV, or http://nmrML.org/nmrML ? Read more on http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/Protege4NamingAndRendering
[d1]OWL, being a semantic web language identifies all named things (entities) uniquely with URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers).
Examples of URIs include URLs (web addresses), URNs and others.
eg The Pizza class in the pizza ontology is identified by its URI (http://www.co-ode.org/ontologies/pizza/pizza.owl#Pizza)
As URLs with fragments are often used, it is worth quickly explaining the terminology used later on:
It is common for a base URI to be used across many entities with each having its own unique fragment.
Resources are identified using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). In the context of Linked Data, we restrict ourselves to using HTTP URIs only and avoid other URI schemes such as URNs and DOIs. HTTP URIs make good names for two reasons: They provide a simple way to create globally unique names without centralized management; and URIs work not just as a name but also as a means of accessing information about a resource over the Web. The preference for HTTP over other URI schemes is discussed at length in the W3C TAG draft finding URNs, Namespaces and Registries.
Resources are named with URI references. When publishing Linked Data, you should devote some effort to choosing good URIs for your resources.
On the one hand, they should be good names that other publishers can use confidently to link to your resources in their own data. On the other hand, you will have to put technical infrastructure in place to make them dereferenceable, and this may put some constraints on what you can do.
This section lists, in loose order, some things to keep in mind.
Here are several ideas for choosing these related URIs:
4. http://dbpedia.org/resource/Berlin
Or:
7. http://id.dbpedia.org/Berlin
Or:
10. http://dbpedia.org/Berlin
Examples of cool URIs:
See also:
Before transforming data into RDF (Figure 1, step 1) or creating an RDF view of the source data (Figure 1, step 6) one must decide on the URIs and namespaces to be used. Tim Berners-Lee has clearly outlined good practices for Linked Data (Berners-Lee 2006) and more information can be found in the Linked Data Tutorial (C. Bizer et al. 2007). Here are some of the general guidelines:
· A number of projects can potentially supply URIs for the biomedical domain. The intention of the Shared Names project (SharedNames 2011) is to supply a common set of names or URIs for entities described in bioinformatics data records. SharedNames is based on a federation of PURL servers that create a vendor neutral and stable namespace for common URIs. The http://identifiers.org/ consortium is developing URIs for the HCLS domains in cooperation with prominent members of the Semantic Web community, including Bio2RDF (Belleau et al. 2008). Identifiers.org includes support for an identifier system called MIRIAM from the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), which has recently announced adoption of URIs.
We do not attempt here to describe all the technicalities of creating proper data URIs. Further information can be found in existing best practice documents (C. Bizer et al. 2007; Sauermann & R. Cyganiak 2011).
[d2]Make term URIs dereferenceable so that clients can look up the definition of a term, i.e. follow the W3C Best Practice Recipes for Publishing RDF Vocabularies.
A good Linked Data style term definition for "Lover".The example uses the Turtle syntax. Namespace declarations are omitted.

Tips to Overcome
- Avoid overeating as this can lead to diabetes and high blood pressure which may in turn damage your kidneys.
- If you know you have high blood pressure, avoid salt intake as much as possible and moderate alcohol consumption.
- It is extremely important to be compliant with all your medications to treat diabetes and high blood pressure as this may slow the decline in your kidney function.
- Avoid excessive use of non-steroidal pain medication.
- Stay well hydrated. The best gauge of adequate hydration is that your urine should appear pale yellow and not too dark.
- If you are a smoker, you should work with your primary care physician on a strategy to discontinue this harmful habit.

SHUT DOWN
Rangers vs Celtic: Hartson dismisses Gers complaints over offside Jullien goal with ‘sour grapes’ throwback pic
by Aidan ScottJOHN HARTSON has dismissed Rangers' complaints over Celtic's offside goal with a throwback to his own disallowed strike.
The Hoops legend wrongly had a goal chopped off for offside in the 2-1 defeat to the Light Blues in the 2003 League Cup Final.
And he has now blasted the Ibrox club and their fans' criticism of Christopher Jullien's winner as "sour grapes".
The Frenchman appeared to be in an offside position when he fired the ball past Gers keeper Allan McGregor at Hampden yesterday.
Now, Hartson has posted a picture of the moment Henrik Larsson passed the ball to him before his goal in the 2003 final, showing him to be onside.
He tweeted: "Sour grapes!"
Many Celtic fans agreed with Hartson.
@AllezMadone said: "Sent this to my Rangers supporting mates earlier JH. The silence was deafening!"
@Lukesagooner added: "Never forget."
While @Stlucia04 simply replied: "Exactly John."
Meanwhile, talkSPORT host Alan Brazil has branded Rangers star Alfredo Morelos a 'cheat'.
The breakfast show presenter claimed the Colombian striker falls over too easily during games.
He said: "He's a cheat. Simple as that. He just falls over too easily.
"He's a good player but he's got to stop cheating. Simple as that."

Classes | |
| class | DefaultNodeSetMappingFunction |
| Defines a mapping between two node sets based on mapping all source nodes to all target nodes, but with an option to omit mappings where the distance between source and target node is over some threshold. More... | |
| class | HyperNeatDecoder |
| Decodes CPPN NeatGenome's into concrete network instances. This decoder uses a HyperNEAT substrate and queries a CPPN NEAT network to generate/grow a network from the substrate. More... | |
| interface | INodeSetMappingFunction |
| Implementations of INodeSetMappingFunction define a mapping between source and target node sets. Each mapping is interpreted/used as a connection between the source and target node. E.g. the simplest such function is to map every source node to every target node (N*M connections). More... | |
| class | NodeSetMapping |
| Describes a mapping between nodesets. Packages an INodeSetMappingFunction with indexes into a list of node sets that identify the source and target nodesets for the mapping. More... | |
| class | Substrate |
| HyperNEAT substrate. Encapsulates substrate nodes in sets and connections. Connections can be defined explicitly or by providing mapping functions that map (connect) between nodes in sets. Node sets can be arranged as layers, however there is no limitation on node positions within the substrate - nodes in a set can be distributed throughout the substrate with no restrictions based on e.g. where nodes in other sets are located. More... | |
| class | SubstrateConnection |
| Represents a connection between two nodes in a HyperNEAT substrate. The node positions are represented as arrays of numbers so as not to limit the number of dimensions that positions (and therefore substrates) can be defined within. More... | |
| struct | SubstrateNode |
| Represents a node within a HyperNEAT substrate. More... | |
| class | SubstrateNodeSet |
| Represents a set of nodes on a substrate. Nodesets are used to represent sets such as the input and output nodes. Hidden nodes can be represented as layers with each layer being represented by a set. This allows connection mapping to be defined between sets. More... | |

This object has the following attributes and methods :
bind( evt,function)
attaches the function to the event evt. evt is a string that matches the different request states :
The function takes a single argument, the
open( method, url, async)
method is the HTTP method used for the request (usually GET or POST), url is the url to call, async is a boolean that indicates whether the call is asynchronous (the script that started the request goes on running without waiting for the response) or not (the script hangs until the response is received). readyState
an integer representing the request state (cf table below).
set_header( name, value)
sets the value of the header name. set_timeout( duration, function)
if the query did not return response within duration in seconds, it will cancel the query and execute the function. This function cannot have arguments. send( [data])
sends (starts) the request. The optional argument data is ignored if the method is not POST ; it must be a dictionary, or a string representing the url encoding of key-value pairs. status
an integer representing the HTTP status of the request. The most usual are 200 (ok) and 404 (file not found). text
the server response as a string of characters. xml

Besides the member functions which constitute the C++ language bindings for MPI, the C++ language interface has additional functions (as required by the C++ language). In particular, the C++ language interface must provide a constructor and destructor, an assignment operator, and comparison operators.
The complete set of C++ language bindings for MPI is presented in Annex C++ Bindings (deprecated) . The bindings take advantage of some important C++ features, such as references and const. Declarations (which apply to all MPI member classes) for construction, destruction, copying, assignment, comparison, and mixed-language operability are also provided.
Except where indicated, all non-static member functions (except for constructors and the assignment operator) of MPI member classes are virtual functions.
Rationale.
Providing virtual member functions is an important part of design
for inheritance. Virtual functions can be bound at run-time, which
allows users of libraries to re-define the behavior of objects
already contained in a library. There is a small performance
penalty that must be paid (the virtual function must be looked up
before it can be called). However, users concerned about this
performance penalty can force compile-time function binding.
( End of rationale.)
Example
Example showing a derived MPI class.
class foo_comm : public MPI::Intracomm { public: void Send(const void* buf, int count, const MPI::Datatype& type, int dest, int tag) const { // Class library functionality MPI::Intracomm::Send(buf, count, type, dest, tag); // More class library functionality } };
Advice
to implementors.
Implementors must be careful to avoid unintended side effects from class
libraries that use inheritance, especially in layered
implementations. For example, if MPI_BCAST is
implemented by repeated calls to MPI_SEND or
MPI_RECV, the behavior of MPI_BCAST cannot be
changed by derived communicator classes that might redefine
MPI_SEND or MPI_RECV. The implementation of
MPI_BCAST must explicitly use the MPI_SEND (or
MPI_RECV) of the base MPI::Comm class.
( End of advice to implementors.)

I’m a student at the University of California, Davis majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I have held various positions during my college years in the field of semiconductors, educational services, and finance. My goal is to connect user needs and business objectives through meaningful design. I utilize my time after classes to gain technical experience through personal projects and self-education. In my free time, I enjoy photographing, driving, playing tennis, and traveling.
As a process engineer intern, I assited the R&D team in developing new SOI wafer polishing processes that decrease the TTV (Total Thickness Variations) to 1+/-0.2 (μm). Our team successfully implemented new quality improvement processes and procedures that increase yield and capacity while reducing cost and downtime.
College students spend hours after class trying to understand math. My job was to help those students reinforce and make sense of what they learned in class. I break down complex math concepts into easily understood steps that help the student solve the problems.
As an office assistant, my duty was to record financial transactions of businesses for bookkeeping functions. I also worked with clients to prepare payroll information by collecting, calculating, and entering data on monthly and quarterly basis.
This scholarship was established by the Regents of the University of California in 1962 and represents the highest honor awarded to a student at the UCs. Recipients are selected on the basis of demonstrated academic excellence, leadership, and exceptional promise.
The Chevron Scholarship is a corporate sponsored scholarship awarded to students who possess a demonstrated potential for leadership to positively impact the barriers that prevent full participation of women and underrepresented minorities in Engineering and Computer Science.
Students qualified for this list in recognition of their dedication to academic pursuits, resulting in a GPA placing them among the top 16% in their class level in the College of Engineering.

You find yourself standing beside some shelves of books. A lady rushes up to you.
"Do you work here?"
Before you can answer she starts asking you questions. "Which chapter books are for readers 6+ who read at an N16 level?"
You manage to get out, I, hu, what? Then the lady takes a deep disappointed breath.
"Oh, my, goodness! I just don’t understand why you aren’t helping me. This would have never happened at Cooper!"
With that she rushes off. Well, I guess these are chapter books you think.

12th International Workshop on Software Clones (IWSC 2018)
Co-located with the 25th IEEE International Conference on Software Analysis, Evolution, and Reengineering (SANER 2018)
March 20, 2018, Campobasso, Italy
Software clones are often a result of copying and pasting as an act of ad-hoc reuse by programmers, and can occur at many levels, from simple statement sequences to blocks, methods, classes, source files, subsystems, models, architectures and entire designs, and in all software artifacts (code, models, requirements or architecture documentation, etc.). Software clone research is of high relevance for software engineering research and practice today.
IWSC series of events has provided a common forum for this important research area as it continues to grow in application breadth and technical depth. IWSC aims to bring researchers and practitioners to evaluate the current state of research, discuss common problems and emerging directions. In particular, we expect the in-depth analysis of use cases and experiences of clone management in practice to further shape our research. Further details about IWSC 2018 are here on this website (https://iwsc2018.github.io/).
TOPICS OF INTEREST:
Topics of interest include but not restricted to the following aspects of software clone research:
- Use cases for clones and clone management in the software lifecycle
- Experiences with clones and clone management in practice
- Types and nature of clones in software systems
- Causes and effects of clones
- Techniques and algorithms for clone detection, search, analysis, and management
- Clone and clone pattern visualization
- Tools and systems for detecting software clones
- Applications of clone detection and analysis
- System architecture and clones
- Effect of clones to system complexity and quality
- Clone analysis in families of similar systems
- Measures of code similarity
- Economic and trade-off models for clone removal
- Evaluation and benchmarking of detection methods
- Licensing and plagiarism issues
- Clone-aware software design and development
- Refactoring through clone analysis
- Higher-level clones in models and designs
- Clone evolution and variation
- Role of clones in software system evolution

In the backyard, Simon Moreke, in whose name tenancy of Number 1907 Block C is registered
by the authorities, has put up poles and chicken wire and planted Catawba grapevines that
make a pleasant green arbour in summer. Underneath are three metal chairs and matching
table, bearing traces of white paint, which – like the green brocade curtains, the picture
of the horse with orange mane, the poles, chicken wire and vines – have been discarded by
the various employers for whom Moreke works in the city as an itinerant1 gardener. The
arbour is between the garage and the lavatory, which is shared by everyone on the property,
both tenants and lodgers.

Teksten er et uddrag af et essay.
By far the greatest obstacle we are up against is hopelessness, a feeling that it’s all
too late, we’ve left it too long, and we’ll never get the job done on such a short timeline.
And all of that would be true if the process of transformation were starting from scratch.
But the truth is that there are tens of thousands of people, and a great many organizations,
that have been preparing for a Green New Deal-style breakthrough for decades (centuries
in the case of indigenous communities that have been protecting their ways of life). These
forces have been quietly building local models and testing policies for how to put justice
at the center of our climate response – in how we protect forests, generate renewable
energy, design public transit, and much more.
“Who is society?” demanded then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 1987 to
justify her relentless attacks on social services. “There is no such thing! There are individual
men and women and there are families.” That bleak view of humanity – that we are nothing
more than a collection of atomized individuals and nuclear families, unable to do anything
of value together except wage war – has had a stranglehold over the public imagination
for a long time. No wonder so many of us believed we could never rise to the climate challenge.
But more than thirty years later, as surely as the glaciers are melting and the ice sheets are
breaking apart, that free-market ideology is dissolving, too. In its place, a new vision of what
humanity can be is emerging. It is coming from the streets, from the schools, from workplaces,
and even from inside houses of government. It’s a vision that says that all of us, combined,
make up the fabric of society. And when the future of life is at stake, there is nothing we
cannot achieve.

Under a steady drizzle Rand’s small army formed columns across the low folded hills facing the Nemarellin peaks, dark and sharp against the western sky. There was no real need to face the direction you intended to Travel, but it always felt askew to Rand otherwise. Despite the rain, rapidly thinning gray clouds let through startlingly bright sunshine. Or maybe the day only seemed bright, after all the recent gloom.
Four of the columns were headed by Bashere’s Saldaeans, bandy-legged unarmored men in short coats standing patiently beside their mounts beneath a small forest of shining lance heads, the other five by blue-coated men with the Dragon on their chests, commanded by a short stocky fellow named Jak Masond. When Masond moved, it was always with surprising quickness, but he was utterly still now, feet planted astride and hands folded behind his back. His men were in place, and so were the Defenders and Companions, grumpy about being behind infantry. It was the nobles and their folk, mainly, who milled about as if unsure where to go. Thick mud sucked at hooves and boots, and mired cart wheels; shouted curses rose. It took time to line up nearly six thousand soaked men, getting wetter by the minute. And that was not counting the supply carts, and the remounts.
Rand had donned his finest, so he would stand out at a glance. A lick with the Power had polished the Dragon Scepter’s spearhead to mirror brightness, and another had burnished the Crown of Swords so the gold gleamed. The gilded Dragon buckle of his sword belt caught the light, and so did the thread-of-gold embroidery that covered his blue silk coat. For a moment, he regretted giving away the gems that once had decked his sword’s hilt and scabbard. The dark boarhide was serviceable, but any armsman could have worn that. Let men know who he was. Let the Seanchan know who had come to destroy them.
Sitting Tai’daishar on a broad flat, he impatiently watched the nobles roil about on the hills.  They looked ready to parade. As many had gray hair or nearly none as were young—several were as young as Hopwil or Morr—but every one was strong enough to make a gateway. That had been a requirement. Flinn and Dashiva waited behind Rand in a casual cluster with Adley and Morr, Hopwil and Narishma. And a rigid pair of mounted bannermen, one Tairen and one Cairhienin, their breastplates and helmets and even their steel-backed gauntlets buffed and polished till they shone. The crimson Banner of Light and the long white Dragon Banner hung limp and dripping. Rand had assumed the Power in his tent, where his momentary stagger would not be seen, and the sparse rain failed by an inch to touch him or his horse.
 Stained his soul. He had thought himself accustomed to the vileness, after a fashion, yet today it was nauseating, stronger than the frozen fire and molten cold of saidin itself. He held on to the Source as often as possible now, accepting the vileness to avoid the new sickness of seizing it. It could be deadly, if he let sickness distract him from that struggle. Maybe it was connected to the dizzy spells, somehow. Light, he could not go mad yet, and he could not die. Not yet. There was too much still to be done.
He pressed his left leg against Tai’daishar’s flank just to feel the long bundle strapped between stirrup leather and scarlet saddle cloth. Every time he did that, something wriggled across the outside of the Void. Anticipation, and maybe a touch of fear. Well trained, the gelding started to turn left, and Rand had to rein him back. When would the nobles sort themselves out? He ground his teeth in impatience.
He could remember as a boy hearing men laugh that when rain fell in sunshine the Dark One was beating Semirhage. Some of that laughter had been uneasy, though, and scrawny old Cenn Buie would always snarl that Semirhage would be smarting and angry after that, and come for small boys who did not keep out of their elders’ way. That had been enough to send Rand running, when he was little. He wished Semirhage would come for him now, right that instant. He would make her weep.
Nothing makes Semirhage weep, Lews Therin muttered. She gives tears to others, but she has none herself.
Rand laughed softly. If she came today, he would make her weep. Her and the rest of the Forsaken together, if they came today. Most assuredly he would make the Seanchan weep.
Not everyone was pleased with the orders he had given. Sunamon’s oily smile vanished when he thought Rand did not see. Torean had a flask in his saddlebags, no doubt brandy, or maybe several flasks, because he drank steadily and never appeared to run dry. Semaradrid and Marcolin and Tihera each appeared in front of Rand to protest the numbers with somber faces. A few years before, close on six thousand men would have been army enough for any war, but they had seen armies in the tens of thousands, now, hundreds of thousands, as in Artur Hawkwing’s day, and to go against the Seanchan, they wanted far more. He sent them away disgruntled. They did not understand that fifty-odd Asha’man were as big a hammer as anyone could wish for. Rand wondered what they would have said had he told them he was hammer enough by himself. He had considered doing this by himself. It might come to that yet.
Weiramon came; he did not like having to take orders from Bashere, or the fact that they were going into mountains—very hard to mount a decent charge in mountains—or several other things—Rand was certain there were at least several more—that Rand did not let him utter.
“The Saldaean seems to believe I should ride on the right flank,” Weiramon muttered disparagingly. He twisted his shoulders as though the right flank were a great insult, for some reason. “And the foot, my Lord Dragon. Really, I think—”
“I think you should get your men ready,” Rand said coldly. Part of the chill was the effect of floating in emotionless emptiness. “Or you won’t be on any flank.” He meant that he would leave the man behind if he was not ready in time. Surely such a fool could not make much trouble left in this remote spot with only a few armsmen. Rand would be back before he could ride to anything larger than a village.
Blood drained from Weiramon’s face, though. “As my Lord Dragon commands,” he said, briskly for him, and was whirling his horse away before the words were well out of his mouth. His mount was a tall deep-chested bay, today.
The pale Lady Ailil reined to a stop in front of Rand, accompanied by the High Lady Anaiyella, a strange pair to be in company, and not just because their nations hated one another. Ailil was tall for a Cairhienin woman, if only for a Cairhienin, and everything about her was dignity and precision, from the arch of her eyebrow to the turn of her red-gloved wrist to the way her pearl-collared rain cape lay spread across the rump of her smoke-gray mare. Unlike Semaradrid or Marcolin, Weiramon or Tihera, she did not so much as blink at the sight of raindrops sliding down nothing around him. Anaiyella did blink. And gasp. And titter behind her hand. Anaiyella was willowy and darkly beautiful, her rain cape collared with rubies and embroidered with gold besides, but there any resemblance to Ailil ended. Anaiyella was all mincing elegance and simpers. When she bowed, her white gelding did, too, bending its forelegs. The prancing animal was showy, but Rand suspected it had no bottom. Like its mistress.
“My Lord Dragon,” Ailil said, “I must make one more protest against my inclusion in this . . . expedition.” Her voice was coolly neutral, if not exactly unfriendly. “I will send my retainers where you command and when, but I have no desire at all to be in the thick of a battle.”
“Oh, no,” Anaiyella added, with a delicate shudder. Even her tone simpered! “Nasty things, battles. So my Master of the Horse says. Surely you won’t really make us go, my Lord Dragon? We’ve heard you have a particular care for women. Haven’t we, Ailil?”
Rand was so astonished that the Void collapsed, and saidin vanished. Raindrops began to trickle through his hair and seep through his coat, but for a moment, clutching his saddle’s high pommel to hold himself upright, seeing four women instead of two, he was too stunned to notice. How much did they know? They had heard? How many people knew? How did anyone know? Light, rumor had him killing Morgase, Elayne, Colavaere, a hundred women probably, and each in a worse way than the last!  That was only partly saidin’s fault. Burn me, how many spies are there watching me? The thought was a growl.
The dead watch, Lews Therin whispered. The dead never close their eyes. Rand shivered.
“I do try to be careful of women,” he told them when he could speak. Faster than a man, and for half the reason. “That’s why I want keep you close the next few days. But if you really dislike the idea so much, I could tell off one of the Asha’man. You’d be safe at the Black Tower.” Anaiyella squeaked prettily, but her face went gray.
“Thank you, no,” Ailil said after a moment, absolutely calm. “I suppose I had best confer with my lance-captain about what to expect.” But she paused in turning her mare away, and regarded Rand with a sidelong look. “My brother Toram is . . . impetuous, my Lord Dragon. Even rash. I am not.”
Anaiyella smiled much too sweetly at Rand, and actually wriggled slightly before following, but once she faced away from him, she dug in her heels and worked her jewel-handled quirt, quickly passing the other woman. That white gelding showed a surprising turn of speed.
At last all was ready, the columns formed, snaking back over the low hills.
“Begin,” Rand told Gedwyn, who wheeled his horse and began barking orders to his men. The eight Dedicated rode forward and dismounted on the ground they had memorized, facing the mountains. One of them looked familiar, a grizzled fellow whose pointed Tairen beard appeared odd on his wrinkled countryman’s face. Eight vertical lines of sharp blue light turned and became openings that showed slightly different views of a long, sparsely wooded mountain valley rising to a steep pass. In Altara. In the Venir Mountains.
Kill them, Lews Therin wept pleadingly. They’re too dangerous to live! Without thought, Rand suppressed the voice. Another man channeling often brought that reaction from Lews Therin, or even a man who could. He no longer wondered why.
Rand muttered a command, and Flinn blinked in surprise before hurrying to join the line and weave a ninth gateway. None was as large as Rand could make, but any would pass a cart, if closely. He had intended to do that himself, but he did not want to chance seizing saidin again in front of everyone. He noticed Gedwyn and Rochaid watching him, wearing identical knowing smiles. And Dashiva as well, frowning, lips moving as he talked to himself. Was it his imagination, or was Narishma eyeing him askance too? And Adley? Morr?
Rand shivered before he could stop himself. Mistrust of Gedwyn and Rochaid was simple sense, but was he coming down with what Nynaeve had called the dreads? A kind of madness, a crippling dark suspicion of everyone and everything? There had been a Coplin, Benly, who thought everybody was scheming against him. He had starved to death when Rand was a boy, refusing to eat for fear of poison.
Ducking low on Tai’daishar’s neck, Rand heeled the gelding through the largest gateway. Flinn’s, as it happened, but he would have ridden through one made by Gedwyn right then. He was the first onto Altaran soil.
The others followed quickly, the Asha’man first of all. Dashiva stared in Rand’s direction, frowning, and Narishma, too, but Gedwyn immediately began directing his Soldiers. One by one, they rushed forward, opened a gateway and darted through, dragging their mounts behind them. Ahead up the valley, bright flashes of light told of gateways opening and closing. The Asha’man could Travel short distances without first memorizing the ground they left from, and cover ground far faster than riding. In short order, only Gedwyn and Rochaid remained, aside from the Dedicated holding the gateways. The others would be fanning out westward, searching for Seanchan. The Saldaeans were through from Illian, and mounting. Legionmen spread into the trees at a trot, crossbows held ready. In this country, they could move as fast afoot as men on horseback.
As the rest of the army began emerging, Rand rode up the valley in the direction the Asha’man had gone. Mountains rose high behind him, a wall fronting the Deep, but west the peaks ran almost to Ebou Dar. He quickened the gelding’s pace to a canter.
Bashere caught him before he reached the pass. The man’s bay was small—most of the Saldaeans rode small horses—but quick. “No Seanchan here, it seems,” he said almost idly, stroking his mustaches with a knuckle. “But there could have been. Tenobia’s likely to have my head on a pike soon enough for following a live Dragon Reborn, much more a dead one.”
Rand scowled. Maybe he could take Flinn, to watch his back, and Narishma, and . . . Flinn had saved his life; the man had to be true. Men could change, though. And Narishma? Even after . . . ? He felt cold at the risk he had taken. Not the dreads. Narishma had proved true, but it still had been a mad risk. As mad as running from stares he was not even sure were real, running to where he had no notion what was waiting. Bashere was right, but Rand did not want to talk about it further.
The slopes leading up into the pass were bare stone and boulders of all sizes, but among the natural stone lay weathered pieces of what must have once been a huge statue. Some were just recognizable as worked stone, others more so. A beringed hand nearly big as his chest, gripping a sword hilt with a broken stub of blade wider than his hand.
“Who do you think she was?” he asked. A queen, of course. Even if merchants or scholars had worn crowns in some distant time, only rulers and generals earned statues.
Bashere twisted in his saddle to study the head before speaking. “A Queen of Shiota, I’ll wager,” he said finally. “Not older. I saw a statue made in Eharon once, and it was so worn you couldn’t say whether it was man or woman. A conqueror, or they wouldn’t have shown her with a sword. And I seem to recall Shiota gave a crown like that to rulers who expanded the borders. Maybe they called it the Crown of Swords, eh? A Brown sister might be able to tell you more.”
“It isn’t important,” Rand told him irritably. They did look like swords.
Bashere went on anyway, graying eyebrows lowered, gravely serious. “I expect thousands cheered her, called her the hope of Shiota, maybe even believed she was. In her time, she might have been as feared and respected as Artur Hawkwing was later, but now even the Brown sisters may not know her name. When you die, people begin to forget, who you were and what you did, or tried to do.  He knew where he was meant to die, if not when. He thought he did.
The corner of his eye caught motion, back down where bare stone gave way to brush and a few small trees. Fifty paces away, a man stepped into the open and raised a bow, smoothly drawing fletchings to cheek. Everything seemed to happen at once.
Snarling, Rand hauled Tai’daishar around, watching the archer adjust to follow. He seized saidin and sweet life and filth poured into him together. His head spun. There were two archers. Bile rose in his throat as he fought wild, uncontrolled surges of the Power that tried to sear him to the bone and freeze his flesh solid. He could not control them; it was all he could do to stay alive. Desperately, he fought to clear his sight, to be able to see well enough to weave the flows he could barely form, with nausea flooding him as strongly as the Power. He thought he heard Bashere shout. Two archers loosed.
Rand should have died. At that range, a boy could have hit his target. Maybe being ta’veren saved him. As the archer let fly, a covey of gray-winged quail burst up almost at his feet uttering piercing whistles. Not enough to throw off an experienced man, and indeed, the fellow only flinched a hair. Rand felt the wind of the arrow’s passage against his cheek.
Fireballs the size of fists suddenly struck the archer. He screamed as his arm spun away, hand still gripping the bow. Another took his left leg at the knee, and he fell shrieking.
Leaning out of his saddle, Rand vomited onto the ground. His stomach tried to heave up every meal he had ever eaten. The Void and saidin left with a sickening wrench. It was nearly more than he could manage not to fall.
When he could sit upright again, he took the white linen handkerchief Bashere silently offered, and wiped his mouth. The Saldaean frowned with concern, as well he might. Rand’s stomach wanted to find more to spew out. He thought his face must be pale. He drew a deep breath.  But he could still sense the Source; at least saidin had not burned him out. At least he could see properly; there was only one Davram Bashere. But the illness seemed a little worse each time he seized saidin.
“Let’s see if there’s enough left of this fellow to talk,” he told Bashere. There was not.
Rochaid was on his knees, calmly searching through the corpse’s torn, bloodstained coat.  It was Eagan Padros; his sightless eyes stared at the sky in surprise. Gedwyn ignored the body at his feet, studying Rand instead, as cold as Rochaid. Both men held saidin. Surprisingly, Lews Therin only moaned.
In a clatter of hooves on stone, Flinn and Narishma came galloping up the rise, followed by nearly a hundred Saldaeans. As they came close, Rand could feel the Power in the grizzled old man and the younger, maybe as much as they could hold. They had both leaped up in strength since Dumai’s Wells. That was the way of it with men; women seemed to gain smoothly, but men suddenly jumped. Flinn was stronger than Gedwyn or Rochaid either one, and Narishma not far behind. For the time being; there was no way to know how it would end. None came close to matching Rand, though. Not yet, anyway. There was no way to tell what time would bring. Not the dreads.
“It seems it’s well we decided to follow you, my Lord Dragon.” Gedwyn’s voice assumed concern, just shy of mocking. “Are you suffering from a tender stomach this morning?”
Rand just shook his head. He could not take his eyes from Padros’ face. Why? Because he had conquered Illian? Because the man had been loyal to “Lord Brend”?
With a loud exclamation, Rochaid ripped a washleather pouch from Padros’ coat pocket and upended it. Bright golden coins spilled onto the stony ground, bouncing and clinking. “Thirty crowns,” he growled. “Tar Valon crowns. No doubt who paid him.” He snatched a coin and tossed it up for Rand, but Rand made no effort to catch it, and it glanced off his arm.
“There’s plenty of Tar Valon coin to be found,” Bashere said calmly. “Half the men in this valley have a few in their pockets. I do, myself.” Gedwyn and Rochaid swiveled to look at him. Bashere smiled behind his thick mustaches, or at least showed teeth, but some of the Saldaeans shifted uneasily in their saddles and fingered belt pouches.
Up where the pass leveled off for a bit between steep mountain slopes, a slash of light rotated into a gateway, and a top-knotted Shienaran in a plain black coat trotted through, pulling his horse behind him. It appeared the first Seanchan had been found, and not too far away if the man was back so quickly.
“Time to move,” Rand told Bashere. The man nodded, but he did not stir. Instead, he studied the two Asha’man standing near Padros. They ignored him.
“What do we do with him?” Gedwyn demanded, gesturing to the corpse. “We ought to send him back to the witches, at least.”
“Leave him,” Rand replied.
 Lews Therin asked. He did not sound insane at all.
Not yet, Rand thought. Soon.
Digging his heels into Tai’daishar’s flanks, he galloped back down toward his army. Dashiva and Flinn followed closely, and Bashere and the hundred Saldaeans. They were all looking around as if they expected another attempt on his life. To the east, black clouds were building among the peaks, another cemaros storm. Soon.
The hilltop camp was well laid out, with a meandering stream close by for water and good lines of sight to the likeliest ways into the long mountain meadow. Assid Bakuun did not feel pride in the camp. During thirty years in the Ever Victorious Army, he had made hundreds of camps; he would as soon have felt pride in walking across a room without falling down. Nor did he feel pride in where he was. Thirty years serving the Empress, might she live forever, and while there had been the occasional rebellion by some mad upstart with eyes on the Crystal Throne, the bulk of those years had been spent preparing for this. For two generations, while the great ships were built to carry the Return, the Ever Victorious Army had trained and prepared. Bakuun certainly had been proud when he learned he was to be one of the Forerunners. Surely he could be forgiven dreams of retaking the lands stolen from Artur Hawkwing’s rightful heirs, even wild dreams to completing this new Consolidation before the Corenne came. Not such a wild dream after all, as it turned out, but not at all the way he had imagined.
A returning patrol of fifty Taraboner lancers rode up the hillside, red and green stripes painted across their solid breastplates, veils of mail hiding their thick mustaches. They rode well, and even fought well, when they had decent leaders. More than ten times as many were already among the cook fires, or down at the picket lines tending their mounts, and three patrols were still out. Bakuun had never expected to find himself with well over half his command descendants of thieves. And unashamed of it; they would look you straight in the eyes. The patrol’s commander bowed low to him as their muddy-legged horses passed, but many of the others went on talking in their peculiar accents, speaking too fast for Bakuun to understand without listening hard. They had peculiar notions of discipline, too.
Shaking his head, Bakuun strode across to the sul’dam’s large tent. Larger than his, of necessity. Four of them were sitting on stools outside in their dark blue dresses with the forked lightning on the skirts, enjoying the sun during this break in the storms. Those were rare enough, now. The gray-clad damane sat at their feet, with Nerith braiding her pale hair. Talking to her, as well, all of them joining in and laughing softly. The bracelet on the end of the silvery a’dam’s leash lay on the ground. Bakuun grunted sourly. He had a favorite wolfhound, back home, and even talked to him sometimes, but he never expected Nip to carry on a conversation!
“Is she well?” he asked Nerith, not for the first time. Or the tenth. “Is everything well with her?” The damane dropped her eyes and went silent.
“She is quite well, Captain Bakuun.” A square-faced woman, Nerith put the proper degree of respect into her voice and not a whisker beyond. But she stroked the damane’s head soothingly while she talked. “Whatever the indisposition, it is gone, now. A small thing, in any case. Nothing to worry about.” The damane was trembling.
Bakuun grunted again. Not far from the answer he had received before. Something had been wrong, though, back in Ebou Dar, and not just with this damane. The sul’dam had all been as tight-lipped as clams—and the Blood would not say anything, of course, not to the likes of him!—but he had heard too many whispers. They said the damane were all sick, or insane. Light, he had not seen a single one used around Ebou Dar once the city was secured, not even for a victory display of Sky Lights, and who had ever heard the like of that!
“Well, I hope she . . . ” he began, and cut off as a raken appeared, sweeping through the eastern pass. Its great leathery wings beat powerfully for height, and right above the hill it suddenly tilted and cut a tight circle, one wingtip pointed almost straight down. A thin red streamer fell away under the weight of a lead ball.
Bakuun swallowed a curse. Fliers were always showing off, but if this pair injured one of his men delivering their scouting report, he would have their hides no matter who he had to face to get them. He would not have wanted to fight without fliers to scout, but they were coddled like some Blood’s favorite pet.
Arrow-straight the streamer plummeted. The lead weight struck the ground and bounced on the crest, almost beside the tall thin message pole, which was too long to lower unless there was a message to send. Besides, when it was left down somebody was always stepping a horse on the thing and breaking the joins.
Bakuun strode straight to his tent, but his First Lieutenant was already waiting with the mud-stained streamer and the message tube.
The report rolled up in the thin metal tube, on a slip of paper Bakuun could almost see through, was written simply. He had never been forced to ride on raken or to’raken—the Light be thanked, and the Empress, might she live forever, be praised!—but he doubted it was easy to handle a pen in a saddle strapped to the back of a flying lizard. What it said made him flip open the lid of his small camp desk and write hurriedly.
“There’s a force not ten miles east of here,” he told Tiras. “Five or six times our number.” Fliers exaggerated sometimes, but not often by much. How had that many penetrated these mountains so far without being spotted before? He had seen the coast to the east, and he wanted his burial prayers paid for before he tried a landing there. Burn his eyes, the fliers boasted they would see a flea move anywhere in the range. “No reason to think they know we’re here, but I’d not mind a few reinforcements.”
Tiras laughed. “We’ll give them a brush of the damane, and that will be that if they outnumber us by twenty times.” His only real fault was a touch of overconfidence. A good soldier, though.
“And if they have a few . . . Aes Sedai?” Bakuun said quietly, hardly stumbling over the name, as he stuffed the flier’s report back into the tube with his own brief message. He had not really believed anyone could let those . . . women run free.
Tiras’ face showed that he remembered the tales about an Aes Sedai weapon. The red streamer floated behind him as he ran with the message tube.
Soon enough tube and streamer were attached to the tip of the message pole, a tiny breeze stirring the long red strip fifteen paces above the hill crest. The raken soared toward it along the valley, outstretched wings still as death. Abruptly one of the fliers swung down from the saddle and hung—upside down!—below the raken’s trailing claws. It made Bakuun’s stomach hurt to watch. But her hand closed on the streamer, the pole flexed, then vibrated back upright as the message tube pulled free of the clip, and she scrambled back up as the creature climbed in slow circles.
Bakuun thankfully put raken and fliers out of his mind as he surveyed the valley. Broad and long, nearly flat except for this hill, and surrounded by steep wooded slopes; only a goat could enter, except by the passes in his sight. With the damane, he could cut anybody to pieces before they managed to try attacking across that muddy meadow. He had passed word along, though; if the enemy came straight on, they would arrive before any possible reinforcements by three days at best. How had they come this far unseen?
He had missed the last battles of the Consolidation by two hundred years, but some of those rebellions had not been small. Two years fighting on Marendalar, thirty thousand dead, and fifty times that shipped back to the mainland as property. Taking notice of the strange kept a soldier alive. Ordering the camp struck and all signs of it cleared, he began moving his command to the forested slopes. Dark clouds were massing in the east, another of those cursed storms coming.

A call to MPI_INIT or MPI_INIT_THREAD, from any language, initializes MPI for execution in all languages.
Advice to users.
Certain implementations use the (inout) argc, argv arguments of the
C version
of MPI_INIT in order to propagate values for argc and
argv to all
executing processes.
Use of the Fortran
version of MPI_INIT to initialize MPI may result in a loss
of this ability.
( End of advice to users.)
The function MPI_INITIALIZED returns the same answer in all
languages.
The function MPI_FINALIZE finalizes the MPI environments for all languages.
The function MPI_FINALIZED returns the same answer in all languages.
The function MPI_ABORT kills processes, irrespective of the language used by the caller or by the processes killed.
The MPI environment is initialized in the same manner for all languages by MPI_INIT. E.g., MPI_COMM_WORLD carries the same information regardless of language: same processes, same environmental attributes, same error handlers.
Information can be added to info objects in one language and retrieved in another.
Advice to users.
The use of several languages in one MPI program may require the use
of special options at compile and/or link time.
( End of advice to users.)
Advice
to implementors.
Implementations may selectively link language specific MPI libraries
only to codes that need them, so as not to increase the size of
binaries for codes that use only one language.
The MPI initialization code need perform initialization for a language
only if that language library is loaded.
( End of advice to implementors.)

CITIES AND LIVABILITY
Cities and Livability
Apart from the economic arguments suggesting that agglomeration economies can be significant, “smart cities” have become a dominant theme in the recent economic development literature. Fuller and Romer (2014) argue that “Nothing else [other than the urbanization project] will create as many opportunities for social and economic progress.” The New Climate Economy Report 2014 argues that cities are crucial for sustainable development and that “the stakes for growth, quality of life and carbon emissions could not be higher.”
Glaeser (2010) shows a strong link between area density and per capita gross metropolitan product at all income levels. Density is strongly correlated with wages and productivity, as well as with future housing price growth. This seems to reflect the benefits accruing from labor market pooling and the exchange of ideas, rather than from the benefit of reduced transport costs of goods between, for example, suppliers, manufacturers and customers. Skilled labor pooling seems to be particularly important. Unfortunately, East Asian countries have paid scant attention to cities. Among developing East Asia, Bangkok is ranked at 117, Beijing at 118, Manila at 136, Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi at 152 and 153 in the Mercer 2015 City Rankings. Only Kuala Lumpur, at 84, among all cities in developing Asia, breaks into the top 100 global cities.
