Our decorative custom light covers are an excellent way to diffuse the harsh glare of fluorescent lighting and to increase the appeal of any room in your home or office. The nature of our business means we deal with indoor lighting requirements most of the time, but we have accumulated an amazing amount of knowledge and useful information regarding outdoor lighting as well. Well-chosen outdoor lighting fixtures are not only aesthetically appealing; they are also very effective in improving the security and safety of your property.\nDownlighting is a fairly common outdoor lighting technique. Fixtures are usually installed under house eaves to provide adequate ambient lighting for nighttime backyard activities. They are also sometimes used to highlight interesting architectural details of a structure.\nBy installing a light fixture in a tree, you can produce the effect of moonlight gently being filtered through the branches of the tree. Make it look as realistic as possible by keeping the light fixture hidden and positioning it as high as possible.\nIf an outdoor wall of your house has detailed masonry work or any other interesting architectural detail that you want to highlight, grazing is the ideal lighting technique to do this. Position a lighting fixture close to the base of the facade, within six to eight inches if possible, then simply aim the light vertically at 90 degrees to draw attention to your wall of interest.\nThis is another way to use the trees on your property as a conveyance of dramatic lighting. Place a lighting fixture directly in front of the tree so when the lights are on, the tree will cast its shadow on a vertical surface behind it. The closer you position the lighting fixture to the tree, the bigger the shadow it will cast.\nEnsure the safety of your visitors by installing adequate lighting on your deck, especially where changes in elevation occur. You can install lighting fixtures on vertical posts or under railings or benches. Choose the placement well and opt for discreet lighting to turn this safety lighting feature into an attractive design element.\nWe have a wide range of decorative light panel designs for you to choose from, and each one of them is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. If you need assistance with choosing the right kind of decorative lighting fixtures for your home or business or with kitchen or living room lighting ideas, call us. Our expertise and experience in the field can help you transform your space dramatically. |
Greetings to all. Peace and Joy is within you. In my last article, I ended by saying that the price of land in the village has shot up 500% because of recent developments. The fact is that it is all about “fengshui” and has nothing to do with market forces that drive up the price of land in normal economic development process. Fengshui, in transliteration which means “wind and water” is actually about geomancy. Anyway, what happened was that a farmer who obtained permission to build his house on a piece of farmland three years ago finally saved enough money to start building. When the foundation stones were laid, it was obvious that his main door was perfectly aligned to the main door of the richest man in the village and faced exactly the same direction. Words went around the village that his intention was to “steal” the fengshui. Immediately, the rich man made an offer the farmer could not resist and that was to buy up his land at 5 times the market value not for himself but to be donated to the village to use as a garden and car park. He then offered to buy the adjacent piece of land at normal price to enlarge the garden and car park but the owner refused to sell as he too wanted premium price. He refused to buy. So, it’s best that I do not to buy any land in the village for the time being.\nMeanwhile, besides managing the repairs to my ancestral house, teaching English and preparing materials for this summer’s English Reading Programme, I have the happiness of receiving visitors to La Salle Study Centre, Changjiao.\nLet me begins with the last item. Easter Monday, 17th April 2006, will always be remembered by all in Changjiao as the day Liao Laoshi’s mysterious La Salle Hui Guan Tong Shi (roughly translated as Lasallian Family members) finally turned up. I always remind them that I can do what I do for the children of the village because of support from La Salle Hui Guan. I want to thank Dr. Bernard Kong and Mr. Charles Chan, President and Deputy President of La Salle College Old Boys Association for organizing the visit. Brother Visitor Peter Foo also joined the group of 16 students, teachers and old boys for this historic visit. Of course, LSCOBA came bearing gifts of computers, projector, photocopying machine, books and a whole variety of very useful materials for LSSC but the impact was not what they bring. That they would make a day’s journey all the way from Hongkong, visit the centre for 2 hours, have dinner and then return to Meixian for the night before returning to Hongkong the next day, was and still is incomprehensible to the villagers. My position in the village and even among government officials in the district capital of Dabu-Huliao is greatly enhanced. I want to record my heartfelt thanks to everyone who made the visit possible, all who contributed support and services and those who provided materials and money. I look forward to your continued support. Who knows where the Good Lord will lead us in main land China through LSSC Changjiao.\nWhile still on the subject of visits, I must mention that there were other visitors too. From 31st May to 16th June, I was honoured with the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Wang Chee Seng. Mr. Wang was formerly headmaster at Balik Pulau. He had just retired and immediately volunteered to come over to help me. On 6th June, Dato' Yong Seng Yeow of SFI Melaka, who was with an official Malaysian Delegation visiting Meizhou, made a detour from his official schedule to visit me at LSSC. It was raining when he arrived and I was at the village barber shop having my haircut. When I was informed of his visit, I returned to LSSC wrapped up in my raincoat and riding my little doggy motorbike. Mr. Wang pointed me out to Dato’ Yong as I rode into the hamlet of Baijiang. Dato’ Yong exclaimed, “What? Where is Brother’s car?” To be honest, Dato’ Yong informed me that he would visit me a week before. When I told him not to go out of his way to come to see me since he was with an official Malaysian Delegation, he replied that he would come to see me so that he could fulfill a promised he made to me last year. Syabas to you Dato’. Your generous donation comes in very handy just as I am working on a very tight budget this year because of the unexpected development of repairing my ancestral home and refitting it as the new and considerably enlarged premise for LSSC.\nWork at repairing my grandfather’s house was delayed for a total of 27 days because of continuous rain. This, I was told, is the wettest end of Spring weather for more than 18 years. Some of you may have heard in the CCTV News that Meichou was declared a flood disaster state. The town north of us, Charyang, which was the former capital of Dabu, was flooded three time, the worst with water up to 3.5 meters right in the middle of town. Changjiao was hit by a sudden flash flood on 25th May. It overflowed the banks at the lower half of the village. Some houses were flooded and crops destroyed. Pigs had to be driven up to higher grounds. LSSC was not spared either. At about 7.45 p.m. on 1st June a loud rumbling sound was heard followed by a loud thud. The children studying at LSSC screamed and ran out of the house. I was working in my room at that time. I rushed out and after making sure that the children were safe, went out to investigate. There was a minor landslide. The old retaining wall collapsed and crushed against the back of the house smashing the water pipe. Water gushed out. I immediately went to the surrounding houses to inform them and asked them to start storing water. Within 2 hours, the small reservoir on the hill was empty. As it was dark, we decided to leave things alone till daybreak. At first light, a work team was assembled to clear the debris and repair the water pipe. Water supply was immediately re-connected to all the houses except to my house. By evening the slope was temporary secured and water supply to my house re-connected.\nChildren’s Day 1st June 2006 was celebrated in a very special way this year. I started the ball rolling by donating RMB1000/– . The village administration followed with RMB500/- and an overseas visitor joined in with RMB200/-. Mr and Mrs Wang Chee Seng and I were guests of honour for the event. It was so wonderful to see the children all dolled and dressed up. After the formalities of the speeches and performances by the children, it was fun time. The teachers organized games and gave away many small prizes to the children. The finale was a high tea of milk drinks, fruits, cakes and sweets for everyone. It was a memorable Children’s Day for the students.\nI cannot end this report without saying that Mr. and Mrs. Wang worked tirelessly to help me prepare for this summer’s English Reading programme. Mrs. Wang scanned in pages of teaching materials and Mr. Wang organized my teaching materials into powerful Power Point Presentations. I am indeed very lucky to have them help me. On top of that they also helped me paint the new desks and chairs for the expanded LSSC. They left us on 19th June to return to Malaysia but will return on 15th July to help run this summer’s programme.\nI wish to record my thanks to all whose support have contributed to the fast expansion of LSSC. My next report will be about this summer’s English Reading Programme. |
Even as Hanoi charges into the future with flashy new skyscrapers and brand-new metro lines, the capital manages to hang on to its traditions. Particularly in busy downtown neighborhoods like the Old Quarter, locals have taken a leap into the 21st century and yet old-school storefronts, ancient monuments and bamboo-toting street vendors still remain.\nOur favorite Flickr user, manhhai, has uncovered a series of images from 1896 Hanoi which document the daily comings and goings in this same downtown neighborhood, providing a glimpse into a 19th-century capital with decidedly fewer tourists and less chaos than the downtown Hanoi of today.\nOutside the gate of Quan Thanh Temple near West Lake.\nTwo people use a traditional Vietnamese wheelbarrow, made entirely of wood, to transport heavy goods.\nA man drives a rickshaw on a downtown Hanoi street.\nHanoians cross a downtown intersection.\nA woman lifts a bamboo pole as she prepares to cross a downtown street.\nAn outdoor barber and ear-cleaning station.\nA local barber cleans his client's ears.\nNear Dong Xuan Market on the eve of Tet 1896.\nCho Gao Street near Dong Xuan Market on the eve of Tet 1896.\nA sandal shop on Hang Giay Street.\nHang Ngang Street, formerly a Cantonese neighborhood.\nA porcelain shop on Hang Chen Street.\nA hat and pillow shop on Hang Non Street.\nA copper vendor on Hang Chen Street.\nA shop selling children's toys on Hang Ma Street. |

The Makeup Geek Duochrome Highlighter is housed in pretty mirrored compact, with a gunmetal lid and soft touch bottom and the product itself has the same pressed pattern as the Makeup Geek Kathleen Lights Palette. Now, not only is the packaging gorgeous, the formulation is near enough faultless. 'Lit' is super soft, smooth, blendable, has no fallout, doesn't emphasize uneven skin tone and isn't chalky, patchy or sparkly. The shade is icy-looking in the pan - a far stride away from the champagne highlighters I love! But 'Lit' is actually translucent when applied to the skin and has a subtle pink shift that is surprisingly forgiving on the skin (no white frosting in sight!). I was left in ore on first application, tilting my head left to right to catch the shift in the light. The shade lifts, brightens, and doesn't leave you beaming like a lighthouse, it just imparts a luminous multi-tonal sheen. Unlike other duochrome highlights I've tried, Makeup Geek's Duochrome Highlighter in 'Lit' is the most wearable, as it's not a strong duochrome, which frankly I'm thankful for as I wouldn't want it to look unnatural against my skin tone. The pigmentation is good, but it's not opaque. You can use a light hand for a natural glow, or pack it on for an intense, high shine.\nI would have expected these to sell out, but they're surprisingly still in stock! But having said that, the price point is a little steep (£19.25) considering Makeup Geek currently retails, however, I'd happily pay the price again to add another to my collection. And I must admit, the swatch doesn't do this highlight justice! It's bloomin' lovely - trust me.\nHave you tried any of the Makeup Geek Duochrome Highlighters? |
At 13-years-old, Henry Patterson is one of the UK’s youngest entrepreneurs. He has already published a children’s book and co-founded a business, and will soon see his characters come to life in animation. Hear from Henry about how it all began and how Entrepreneurial Spark, powered by NatWest, helped him.\nWhen I first wrote the ‘Adventures of Sherb and Pip’, I thought it would really work as an animated series, but it was a dream that I thought was too far away. Three years on, I’ve sold the rights to animate the characters to a British production company, and I’m so excited!\nThe Adventures of Sherb and Pip is about an owl and a mouse that live in a sweetshop. There’s also a group of other animal characters, including Mr Fox and Martha the Mole. When the book was published and I saw that it was quite popular, I sat down with my mum and we spoke about creating something with the characters, and that’s how ‘Not Before Tea’ began.\nNot Before Tea is a British children’s lifestyle brand, based on the characters from my book. I always like to collect everything I can when I get into something, and that’s the idea behind the brand. We sell little things like washbags and bigger things like the magical doors that you can put on your wall above the skirting board, which are our best seller. None of the products are electric; they're all powered by imagination.\n18 months after starting Not Before Tea, my mum and I had taken the business quite far but needed help to give it more direction and to develop a plan for the future. We found Entrepreneurial Spark, which works with NatWest to help new businesses grow, and applied for a place on their programme.\nWe were successful in getting a place at Entrepreneurial Spark’s Milton Keynes hub, and have received a lot of support since then. We have a mentor who we spoke to about everything we've done and still want to do including our figures, where we wanted the business to go and any obstacles in our way. We were then able to get to work on one, three and five year plans for the business.\nNot Before Tea has continued to do well and work on the animated story of Pip the Mouse getting a job in bow-tying has started which is amazing. There's a whole team of people behind it which is crazy but what's good is that I'll be consulted as they create the pilot, advising on how the characters should walk and sound and what their personalities are like.\nI’m really excited about what’s to come. My mum and I are still part of the Milton Keynes hub - we get advice and mentoring, and it's a place where I can focus. At home I'm really bad at concentrating, there's always something that grabs my attention. The other people in the hub are lovely too, they don't treat me like a child; I'm just an entrepreneur and one of them.\nFind out more about Not Before Tea.\nEntrepreneurial Spark, powered by NatWest, is the world’s largest free business accelerator for start-up, early stage and growing businesses from all sectors. NatWest provides entrepreneurs who are selected as part of the Entrepreneurial Spark programme with free facilities and Wi-Fi, access to the bank's networks and suppliers, and free business advice. Find out more at the Entrepreneurial Spark website.\nNow in its fifth year, the Great British Entrepreneur Awards have celebrated some outstanding entrepreneurs who have gone on to become household names.\nKaleidoscope Investments supports, invests in and empowers disabled people to become successful entrepreneurs. Founder and Managing Director Hardeep Rai reflects on why he started the organisation and how NatWest has supported. |

On 24 September 2015 The Associated Press reported: A horrific stampede killed at least 717 pilgrims and injured hundreds more Thursday on the outskirts of the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, the deadliest tragedy to strike the annual hajj pilgrimage in more than two decades. At least 863 pilgrims were injured in the crush, said the Saudi civil defense directorate, which provided the death toll. The tragedy struck as Muslims around the world marked the start of the Eid al-Adha holiday. It was the second major disaster during this year's hajj season. Two survivors interviewed by The Associated Press said the disaster began when one wave of pilgrims found themselves heading into a mass of people going in another direction. Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern culture and health systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems. |

In the age of social media and digital communication, most people are constantly writing and communicating. While texting, tweeting, and posting on instagram are all ways of expressing yourself, they have one thing in common: an audience. There are many things that are better expressed without an audience, but bridging the gap between the familiar screen and a traditional form of journalling or writing with a pen and paper.\nWWW is meant to be a cathartic experience to help people express and understand their own thoughts. Angry rants, sad stories, or mundane conversations can all be recorded and thus expelled from your mind, clearing space. Once you're done writing, your thoughts can be saved, sent, posted anonymously, translated into dingbats, or symbolically deleted and sent into a void.\nLulu Johnson is a designer from Chicago, currently working towards a BFA in Communications Design/Graphic Design from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. |
The Attack class patrol boats were ordered following Australia’s involvement in the Indonesian Confrontation when it became evident that the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) lacked suitable patrol-type vessels. Consequently, an order was placed to have 20 Attack class patrol boats constructed in Australia, including five for Papua-New Guinea.\nThe order was placed for the vessels in 1965, for delivery by August 1966, but construction proved slow and the first keel was not laid until September 1966. However, once construction got underway the build time was greatly reduced.\nThe contracts were awarded to two Queensland shipbuilders, Evans Deakin Ltd, in Brisbane and Walkers Ltd, in Maryborough. Both yards had built vessels for the RAN during World War II although no substantial work for the Navy had taken place, in either, since that time.\nThe hulls were of steel construction and pre-fabricated in seven sections while the upper-works were made of aluminium.\nThe Attack class patrol boats proved to be capable vessels and were used chiefly in maritime security and surveillance, boarder protection and fishery patrol duties.\nHMAS Adroit was laid down and built by Evans Deakin Co. Pty. Ltd. She was launched by Mrs R.I. Peek, wife of the then Flag Officer Commanding the Australian Fleet, Rear Admiral Peek, on 3 March 1968 and commissioned in Brisbane at 11:30 am on 17 August 1968. Appointed in command was Lieutenant Commander G.L. Boyd, RAN and following a brief work up the ship sailed for Sydney in company with HMAS Barbette.\nAfter ammunitioning ship, a compass swing and minor defect rectification the ship sailed for the Jervis Bay exercise area in company with HMAS Barbette for work-up trials. Upon completion of these trials, and following participation in an inshore infiltration exercise, Adroit departed for Brisbane, exercising gun drills and small arms during the passage north.\nOn 10 September Adroit attended her first official function, the opening of the container terminal at Port Alma. The guest of honour was the Premier of Queensland. Sir Joh Bjelke-Peterson and on completion the ship returned to Brisbane and from there transited to Sydney.\nHMAS Adroit as she appeared when part of Australian Patrol Boat Squadron 3 (AUSPABRON3). Note the distinctive funnel insignia.\nAfter ammunitioning ship and a compass swing Adroit, in company with HMAS Archer, returned to the exercise area of Jervis Bay where midshipmen from HMAS Creswell joined for training. The ship remained in the Jervis Bay area and on 24 November whilst on SAR duties in company with HMAS Aware she assisted in an attempt to salvage a ditched helicopter from HMAS Albatross.\nThe ship then returned to Sydney before heading northwards to Brisbane, sheltering en-route for one night behind Mutton Bird Island due to severe weather. Adroit remained alongside HMAS Moreton, an RAN shore establishment on the Brisbane River, until May 1971 before undertaking Fishery Patrols around the Percy Islands. For the duration of that patrol the vessel was manned by members of the Royal Australian Naval Reserve (RANR) taking part in annual continuous training. The patrol saw Adroit visit Heron Islet, Great Keppel Island, Makay, Scawfell Island, Brampton Island, the Percy Islands, Bowen and Lindeman Islands before returning to Brisbane.\nAdroit remained alongside HMAS Moreton until February 1972 when she sailed for Gladstone with a mixture of RANR and permanent naval forces (PNF) crew. On 29 February, whilst in company with HMA Ships Archer and Bombard, Adroit incurred damage to the port propeller after striking a submerged tree limb. The ship put into Cairns for repairs before proceeding on to Samurai in company with Bombard. En-route, just south of Bougainville Reef, Adroit encountered very heavy seas, losing one of her life-rafts overboard.\nOn 12 March 1972 Adroit, in company with Archer and Bayonet participated in a ceremonial sail-past at the Port of Alotau. Adroit then returned to Cairns resuming fishery patrols and survey work before shaping course for Brisbane.\nFrom June 1973 until 5 May 1974 Adroit remained at HMAS Moreton before undertaking fishery patrols around the Gladstone, Fraser Island, Bundaberg, Percy Islands and Mackay areas. Early June saw Adroit manned with a mixture of RANR and PNF crew conducting night encounter exercises with HMA Ships Archer, Bombard and Buccaneer. The ships later took part in Exercise KANGAROO 1 before returning to Brisbane where Adroit remained alongside until mid-August at which time she departed for Sydney. There she was placed under the command of LCDR P. Ballestry RANR, for a period of annual continuous training for members of the RANR in the Sydney, Broken Bay area. In September Adroit went into a prolonged refit from which she emerged in February 1975, recommissioning at HMAS Waterhen. On completion Adroit participated in sea acceptance and gunnery trials overseen by members of the the RAN Trials and Assessment Unit (RANTAU).\nHMAS Adroit was commissioned at a ceremony in Sydney on 17 Feb 1975. Chaplain's W.J. Bates (left) and H.M. McDonald take part in the commissioning ceremony at HMAS Waterhen. Naval officers from left - Flag Officer Commanding the Australian Fleet, Rear Admiral D.C. Wells, Commander J. More, LCDR P. Wright, and the Flag Lieutenant, Lieutenant T.J. Scott.\nThe early months of 1975 saw Adroit conducting exercises in the Eastern Australian Exercise Area before shaping a course for Darwin via Gladstone, Cairns and Thursday Island, arriving in mid-March 1975.\nOn 10 April fishery patrols began in the Port Essington to Gove area of operations. In May, Adroit joined HMA Ships Moresby, Barricade and Buccaneer, for a survey of the Bonaparte Gulf and in the vicinity of Con Bay, Razor Island, Kodan Island, Lesueur Island and Rocky Island. Survey work was often routine in nature and on 10 May a beach banyan and sports day was held on Hidden Island to break the monotony. June saw the continuation of survey work with Moresby in the Bonaparte Gulf before Adroit detached for Darwin for mid-winter leave and to undertake maintenance period. During that time the vessel was manned by a spare crew under the command of Lieutenant C.P. Barr, RAN which responded to a search and rescue call from the trawler Captain A.E. Trivett.\nFishery Patrols resumed and on 6 August and two Taiwanese fishing vessels, the Sheh Wei Number 6 and 7 were intercepted inside the Declared Fishing Zone. Both vessels were arrested and escorted to Darwin for prosecution.\nAdroit then took passage, in company with Assail and Advance, to take part in the annual Broome festival. While there, the ships were placed on immediate notice for sea in response to growing civil unrest in East Timor. Following the festival, fishery patrols were conducted around Ashmore Reef and Baudin Island before returning to Darwin for routine maintenance.\nFishery patrols in the north-west fishing zone resumed in October resulting in numerous interceptions of Taiwanese fishing vessels. Regular calls were also made at Broome to embark fuel and stores. On 16 October Adroit was involved in a minor grounding necessitation her return to Darwin for slipping and repairs.\nBy November the ship was back in the water and engaged in fishery patrols in the north-west area until the end of the month. The patrol was punctuated with fuelling and stores stops at Port Hedland and Dampier.\nDecember saw Adroit conducting its first Gulf Patrols where the Taiwanese fishing vessel Fu Yuan was arrested for fishing inside the Declared Fishing Zone. She was subsequently towed back to Darwin for prosecution.\nThe Attack class patrol boats provided valuable service to the RAN around Australia in varying sea states and conditions.\nIn 1976 Adroit resumed the normal pattern of fishery patrols seeking shelter on the 9th and 10th of January in Thursday Island from Tropical Cyclone Kim. Once the danger had passed further patrols were conducted during the return passage to Darwin.\nIn May a film crew joined Adroit to document the patrol work being undertaken by the Attack class focussing on the interception of illegal overseas fishing vessels within the declared fishing zones of Australia. This proved a novel experience for both the crew and the media team.\nJune 1976 saw the arrest of more illegal fishing vessels which were escorted into Exmouth. Fishery patrol-work continued in the North West area with welcome respite coming when Adroit’s crew joined US servicemen based at Exmouth for 4th of July Celebrations. Following this welcome interlude several of the crew appeared as witnesses in the trial of the Taiwanese Fishing Vessels Yih Tai numbers 1 and 2.\nAs the pattern of patrol-work continued in the north-west sector calls were made at Port Hedland, Carnarvon, Exmouth, Onslow and Broome before returning to Darwin for a welcome break.\nOn 9 August Adroit returned to the Gulf Area with stops made at Thursday Island, Weipa and Kurumba before heading back to Darwin for rest and recreation. During that time just one day was spent at sea when Adroit performed the role of ‘start boat’ for the Darwin to Ambon Yacht Race. She again performed this duty in September 1976, having been selected as the official start boat for the Cairns Centenary Yacht Race.\nParticipation in Exercise KANGAROO 1 followed where Adroit joined other Attack class boats successfully attacking an amphibious force. A return to Cairns was necessary following an engineering defect that resulted in the port engine being replaced. Upon successful completion of engineering trials the ship returned to Darwin via Gove, Weipa and Thursday Island arresting two Taiwanese Fishing vessels in the Gulf en-route and escorting them to Weipa.\nHMAS Adroit during one of her many regional port visits.\nFollowing Christmas leave fishery patrols resumed in the Gulf area where two Taiwanese vessels, the Huey Maw and Fong Kuo 2 were arrested and escorted to Weipa for prosecution. Patrols continued in the area before the ship returned to Darwin in early February for a self-maintenance period.\nFebruary saw Adroit back on patrol in the North West Sector calling at Broome and Exmouth before heading south to Fremantle for a three day visit. During the return voyage shelter was sought in Geraldton from Tropical Cyclone Karen before returning to Darwin.\nFishery patrols in the Gulf area, Elcho Island and Millingimbi followed during which time the vessel briefly grounded necessitating a return to Darwin where the ship was slipped in April and both propellers and shafts replaced.\nWith repairs complete May Adroit was soon back at sea operating in the North West area where she rendezvoused with two refugee vessels originating from Vietnam. Food and water was supplied to the occupants before escorting both vessels into Broome. May also saw Adroit operating in company with HMAS Moresby, Advance and Bayonet conducting surveys of the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf. Following this activity the ship assisted with a medical evacuation from a Vietnamese refugee vessel taking the casualty to Broome. Later, in June, Adroit was also called upon to assist a Darwin pilot boat which was disabled due to a fire in her engine room. The vessel was taken in tow and recovered to Darwin.\nFishery Patrols resumed in July along the Arnhem Coast and the Gulf area resulting in the arrest of the Taiwanese vessel Tai Yin Shang which was apprehended fishing inside the Declared Fishing Zone before being towed back to Darwin. Mid July provided a welcome change of pace for Adroit’s small crew when 20 Australian Army commandos joined her for an infiltration exercise conducted along the coast near the East Aligator River.\nFollowing a brief self-maintenance period in Darwin the patrol boat returned to the north-west sector in August calling at Port Hedland, Broome and Point Murat en route.\nSeptember saw routine patrol work conducted around Ashmore Reef and in the north-west area before proceeding at high speed to Carnarvon on 13 September after a cook on board badly lacerating his leg in an accident in the galley. The vessel then continued on to Fremantle for two days R and R.\nIn the late 1970s Vietnamese refugee boats were frequently arriving in Australian waters and the Attack class patrol boat crews were routinely being called upon to locate and provide assistance to them. Adroit assisted a number of these vessels and during her return voyage to Darwin in September she assisted yet another in trouble near Vansittart Reef. The vessel was quickly taken in tow to Darwin, where after a brief stop Adroit returned to sea to patrol the northern sector.\nHaving spent many months on patrol Adroit was in need of urgent maintenance and in October 1977 she shaped course for Cairns via Thursday Island to undertake an intermediate refit. On 12 December 1977 Lieutenant J.D. Napier, RAN, was appointed in command and the vessel remained in Cairns until January 1978.\nHMAS Adroit proceeds alongside on completion of a routine patrol.\nThe new-year saw the crew of Adroit assisting the Cairns Fire Brigade in extinguishing a fire in the cold storage area of Cairns number 1 wharf on 11 January drawing praise for preventing the fire from spreading prior to the arrival of professional firefighters.\nThe refit completed later in the month and on completion Adroit carried out sea trials between Townsville and Hayman Island before returning to the Gulf area and resuming the normal pattern of patrol work. On completion of that patrol she returned to Darwin.\nAdroit remained in Darwin until mid-February before conducting further post refit trials and patrol work in the Beagle Gulf area. There she rendezvoused with HMAS Ardent for drills and manoeuvres as part of an at-sea inspection by the Naval Officer Commanding Northern Australia (NOCNA). After a brief stop at Darwin she resumed fishery patrols in the Beagle Gulf where 4 Taiwanese vessels were intercepted. Late in the month Adroit, in communication with RAAF maritime surveillance aircraft intercepted an Indo Chinese Origin Vessel (ICOV) with refugees aboard. This vessel was apprehended and escorted to Darwin where it was handed over to the relevant authorities.\nAn Operational Readiness Evaluation (ORE) was conducted in March and later in the month Adroit went to the assistance of HMAS Aware which had developed engine trouble. March also saw a visit by the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral A.M. Synnot RAN, who addressed the crew concerning the importance of patrolling Australia’s northern approaches. This affirmation of the importance of their often long and monotonous patrol work was welcome recognition from the Navy’s senior leader.\nAdroit continued patrolling the Beagle Gulf area becoming the first vessel to use the 81 mm mortar to illuminate a contact at night. More contacts were made with ICOV’s 140 nautical miles NW of Darwin and these were subsequently apprehended and escorted before being handed over to local authorities.\nMay 1978 saw the continuation of fishery patrols in the Beagle Gulf area based from Darwin. The patrol cycle routinely saw Attack class boats coming and going from Darwin as they balanced routine maintenance schedules with the demands of patrol work in northern Australian waters. In late May Adroit was again at sea in the Gulf area calling at Gove for fuel and supplies mid-way through the patrol. During that visit a member of the ship’s company was admitted to Gove Hospital with a burn necessitating the boat to remain alongside until a replacement crew member could join from Darwin. During May Adroit achieved an impressive tally of 130,500 nautical miles since her commissioning ten years prior.\nJune saw the resumption of fishery patrols with frequent stops at Weipa and Gove. During this patrol Adroit transited through the ‘hole in the wall’, between the islands of Raragala and Guluwuru before returning to Darwin.\nIn July Adroit operated to the west of Darwin fuelling at Broome, Port Hedland and Exmouth before heading south of Rockingham. During this period Adroit enjoyed a break from patrol duties conducting pilotage training with junior officers from HMAS Stuart. During this evolution Adroit touched bottom requiring her to berth at HMAS Stirling where she was slipped for inspection of her propellers and shafts. Upon completion of the docking the ship underwent a compass swing before heading back to Darwin via Exmouth.\nSeptember saw the ship alongside in Darwin undergoing maintenance and her crew on parade as part of an annual inspection of the vessel. This was followed by Adroit sailing in company with HMA Ships Ardent, Assail and Aware to take part in Squadron Exercises (SQUADEX) where all facets of patrol boat force duties were successfully exercised.\nThe grind of fishery patrols resumed later in the month in the NW area with calls made at Broome for fuel and supplies. During this patrol Adroit was ordered to intercept a Philippine vessel ‘Carlito Flores’ operating in the vicinity of Cuffarelli Island. Following the successful interception the vessel was escorted into Broome and handed over to the local authorities. Fishery patrols were then resumed with a further five Indonesian vessels boarded before the end of the month.\nDuring October Adroit operated chiefly in north-west area boarding a further two Indonesian vessels before having to land a sick sailor in Broome and another in Darwin.\nThe high tempo of patrol work continued on into November and it was during this patrol that the boarding of a Taiwanese fishing vessel, Fu Yuan, on 8 November proved to be the catalyst for an inquiry concerning the conduct of a number of boarding operations undertaken by Adroit between April and November 1978. The inquiry resulted in a Court Martial handing down a guilty verdict and dismissing Adroit’s then commanding officer from the service.\nTaiwanese fishing vessel, Fu Yuan.\nOn 14 November 1978 temporary command of Adroit passed to Lieutenant G. Lloyd, RAN during which time the vessel remained alongside in Darwin. Command then passed to Lieutenant S.H. Hooke, RAN on 21 November who was soon back at sea continuing patrol work.\nOn 28 November Adroit provided urgent medical assistance to the Taiwanese fishing vessel Kao Cheng 21 which was intercepted making best speed towards Darwin and flying the distinctive yellow quarantine flag. The vessel was subsequently boarded and a seriously ill crewman transferred to Adroit and ferried to Darwin where he was transferred by ambulance to hospital. Adroit then resumed her patrol in the Gulf area with a notable rise in morale.\nDecember 1978 was consumed with routine patrol work in the Gulf area with calls being made at Gove, Alyangula and Port Essington before returning to Darwin where a family day was held on the harbour. Adroit then remained in Darwin as ‘stand by vessel’ for the Christmas New Year period.\nJanuary 1979 saw Adroit at sea in company with HMAS Ardent conducting trials and fishery patrols in the Beagle Gulf. An early return to Darwin proved necessary to evade Cyclone Greta and to attend to lingering engine problems. With repairs completed the normal pattern of patrol work resumed culminating with three interceptions of Taiwanese fishing vessels before anchoring off Fenelon Island.\nFebruary saw a continuation of patrol work in the north-western area of Beagle Gulf and the conduct of a short exercise with HMAS Ardent before anchoring off Mandorah Jetty and then proceeding to Darwin for scheduled maintenance.\nCyclonic conditions again hindered patrol work in March 1979 causing Adroit to seek shelter from Tropical Cyclone Hazel in Broome. By the end of March Adroit had boarded and inspected a further 4 Taiwanese vessels and carried out a successful gunnery exercise with HMA ships Assail and Aware before berthing at Darwin.\nIn April Adroit shaped course for HMAS Stirling carrying out a fishery patrol en route during which two Taiwanese fishing vessels were inspected and a fuel stop was made at Geraldton. The ship remained at Stirling until 19 April before making the return passage to Darwin. On 28April Adroit sailed with 12 members of the 7th Independent Rifle Company of the Army Reserve embark for an exercise on Bathurst Island. The soldiers were recovered the following day and transported back to Darwin where the ship remained for the rest of the month.\nMay saw Adroit operate briefly with HMA Ships Perth, Vendetta, Derwent and Barbette before an engineering defect forced her premature return to Darwin. With repairs completed by early June the ship resumed fishery patrols in the Beagle Gulf and Gulf of Carpentaria calling at Gove for fuel and stores. During that time the ship located a large number of Taiwanese Drift netters, boarding and temporarily detaining one of them.\nA change of scenery followed in July 1979 when Adroit sailed for the West Coast to participate in Exercise CRABBES FALL with the Special Air Service Regiment. On completion the necessary but mundane fishery patrol work resumed with calls made at Dampier and Port Hedland. The eighteen day patrol resulted in two Taiwanese fishing vessels being boarded before returning to Darwin.\nAugust of 1979 saw the ship alongside in Darwin and being visited by Commodore M Hudson and a Parliamentary Committee in regards to the siting of the proposed new Patrol Boat Base in Darwin. Following this the ship patrolled the Beagle Gulf area until the end of the month.\nThe following month saw the ship alongside in Darwin where Divisions were held followed by an annual inspection of the ship. On completion Adroit was soon back at sea in company with HMA Ships Ardent, Assail and Aware participating in Exercise DARWEX 79. On completion of the exercise Adroit returned to Darwin undertaking routine maintenance on the slipway.\nFor the remainder of the year Adroit was an active participant in fishery patrol work around Bathurst Island, the Beagle Gulf and Gove. November saw the apprehension of a Taiwanese vessel which was escorted to Darwin to face prosecution. Assistance was then given to a grounded Taiwanese vessel, the FONG KUO, at Cape Van Dreman. The vessel was successfully re-floated and subsequently repaired in Darwin. Later in the month Adroit returned to Darwin for the trial of a previously apprehended vessel before resuming patrol work in King Sound. There an Indonesian fishing vessel was discovered hiding in the mangroves at High Island, boarded and issued a warning. The ship then shaped course to Broome for fuel and supplies.\nDeparting Broome in early December, patrols of the Rowley Shoals and the North West Cape followed before taking on fuel at Exmouth. The year came to an end with the investigation of a report of a fishing vessel hiding in mangroves. The vessel, the USAHA HIDUP was located and the crew issued a formal warning. Adroit then returned to Darwin for Christmas leave. |
Bitcoin – The Bulls Are Not Giving Up on $5500, Will It Break?\nIn the past weeks, ADAUSD and ADABTC have been following same direction. Both markets are likely to witness a reverse any time from now if the bulls failed to defensively hold price above the trend line. As of the time of writing, Cardano holds a market cap valuation of $1.297 billion with -0.3% gain in the last 24- hours.\nAfter late February decline, Cardano had resumed back an uptrend early this month on a higher high, higher low pattern; respecting the green trend line. Today, a retracement move has reached the base of the trend line; as revealed on the 4-hours MACD. A possible bounce up is expected to fly the token to $0.054 resistance. However, ADA is currently trading around at $0.05 price level.\nA look at the 4-hours RSI suggests price lying at the 50 line – a reverse level for ADA since the recent rise-up. Breaking down MACD zero level and the RSI 50 line could drop price to support at $0.048 and beyond, below the green trend line. In case such a scenario occurs, a bearish play out is confirmed. But as of now, the bulls are still holding up positions.\nAgainst Bitcoin, Cardano had gained 25% in the past weeks after a medium-term bullish momentum; respecting the green trend line. Having recorded a monthly high at 1290 SAT, a swing low is now sitting on the trend line. In fact, the price action attempts to break-low. The hourly RSI lies at 50 line as the hourly MACD faces zero level.\nCrossing down the green trend line could slump price to 120 SAT support and beyond; positioning the market in a bearish. If a drop failed, however, an upward rally is likely to retest 1300 SAT resistance area. A further surge at this area would confirm another bull-run. Nevertheless, ADA is still maintaining a bullish trend as traders wait for the next signal.\nPlease note: FXtimes.com is not a financial advisor.

Last week, I purchased and received a copy of Jim Collin’s latest book “The Simple Path the Wealth”. I had no expectation from the book except everyone in the personal finance community had great reviews about it. Are they all biased?\nNo, I have to agree with all of them. It is indeed a great book.\nBut before I talk more about it, let me show you what I received in the mail earlier today.\nAnother 7 asset classes!! Gosh, finance is so complex. I must be dumb to not know anything about managed futures! Or private senior secured notes and debt. I probably need to listen to these guys, they sure seem to know their stuff!\nThat is definitely exciting. No one know how the elections will turn out, but they have a plan either way! Can’t wait to learn about the latest crystal ball reading techniques.\nWe live in one of the richest countries in the world but no one tells us how the financial system really works. Many people believe they can ask any degreed or licensed professional for investment advice. The fact is it takes more than a degree or license to obtain the kind of financial education that will help you navigate today’s financial system effectively.\nMan, you can’t trust anyone these days, but this Mr Orr (whom I have never heard off before) does sound like a financial guru.\nHow do I get access to all this knowledge?\nSimple. Mr Orr tells me to register for his next training session right here in Houston. I suspect that demand is going to be strong, because they require advance registration. They make it easy however, I can just mail him an $89 check to reserve my seat. And my spouse can attend at no extra charge!\nCan’t wait to learn about all this and brag in the office on Monday. My boss will be so jealous when I tell him how I invested in the other 7 asset classes that he didn’t know about.\nThis is exactly why Jim Collin’s book is such a great book and why I couldn’t stop reading it over the week-end.\nIt shows that finance is NOT complex. It’s rather simple and Jim explains this very well, but too many people make money of off making it sound complex.\nIt’s easy to read. The book doesn’t talk about managed futures or non-tradable real-estate deals. It’s down to very basic index investing.\nHe loves Vanguard. Me too.\nJim’s simple path to wealth is EASY to understand and EASY to implement. Which means anyone can set this up over a week-end, move on with their lives and know that they have a solid plan in place.\nJim’s website is so much cooler that Mr Orr’s own theOrracle.com (seriously). It’s also worth reading the stocks series, from which the book is inspired.\nThe best about this book however, is that it summarizes so well the whole passive index investing approach that many of us relate to.\nI have told my wife that if something had to happen to me and she needed help managing our finances, she should refer to Jim’s book. All the logic is there, no need to re-invent the wheel or go pay high fees for random money managers.\nand read Jim Collin’s book The Simple Path to Wealth.\nIf you’ve read Jim’s book, what did you think about it? Have you ever experienced or been tempted by one of these financial independence guru seminars?\nYep, he was a complete and utter fool.\nThat was probably a very good move Mr PIE!\nOne thing I’m not sure I understand though, what incentive do they have to explore non-traditional approaches when they work just fine?\nWow. Mr. Orr, what a legend! he definitely sounds like a man who has all the answers… The sad thing is that people still fall for these scams. If only they had been reading some of our PF blogs!\nI’ll give the book a read, it sounds interesting and a potential addition to the “must-read investing books”.\nThe best part of Jim’s book is that it’s so simply written that it’s a good education tool for your spouse, friends or family and it’s actionable.\nIf someone is interested getting started or doesn’t think it’s possible to retire early, this would be the best investment of time and money.\nWow the letter’s preachings are so BS. “The fact is it takes more than a degree or license to obtain the kind of financial education that will help you navigate today’s financial system effectively.” I don’t think it takes a degree to learn how to apply to a broker, type up a vanguard s&p 500 ETF and press a few buttons.\nThanks for recommending this book, I haven’t read a significant amount of personal finance books but I always love reading and learning new things!\nYes, this guy would like us to believe you need a PhD to buy ETFs. If you already like the Vanguard S&P500 ETF, you’ll like Jim’s book!\nThat’s how they charge money…by trying to make it some more complicated than it really is. And I have a feeling that once you pay $89, the course will be more of a marketing tactic to get you to sign up for an even more expensive course. Well at least that’s what the real estate flipping courses like to do. Sign up for a more expensive course with a personal mentor, etc, etc and you too can get filthy rich with our strategy!\nI completely agree with you, these are many spruikers out there who just want to make money off us, and they don’t care what our actual results are in the future.\nIt’s so easy for anyone to invest in Vanguard funds and I’d advocate that for most people (unless you want to put in a lot more research into companies or specifically DGI stocks).\nHi Tristan, thanks for reading! You’re right that most people would be fine with Vanguard funds. Or even just VTSAX to start with and then explore other techniques likes DGI.\nThese money advisors might be rich not because of what they preach, but because of how much they charge for it!\nI read Jim Collins’ blog a lot when I first got into personal finance. What he talked about seemed so simple and easy that it can’t really be the way things work?! |

Our malting process is based on the controlled germination of our premium barley to produce the finest quality Irish malt. To achieve this there are a series of key stages all continuously monitored by our-state-of-the-art SCADA system. All this takes place under the watchful eyes of our dedicated experienced staff members.\nIn steeping, the moisture of the barley is raised from 13% moisture to typically 45% to encourage a rapid, even germination of the barley. The first phase of steeping in our plant is barley washing which results in marked improvement in the quality of the finished malt produced, but which is not used by all maltsers. Steeping consists of several wet periods, where the barley is soaked in water from our own deep-bore wells, interspersed with air rests.\nMalt is then germinated at a specific temperature and is continually aerated and regularly turned. This is to ensure even, closely controlled and monitored growth. During this time the grain’s own enzymes naturally unlock the nutrients stored in the grain which will later be released in the mash-tun.\nKilning the malt preserves it by drying it in warm, dry air. The combination of heat and moisture during the process develops its characteristic colour, flavour and odour. The Kiln is heated indirectly which eliminates any risk of contamination from combustion gases. |
Many people around the world don’t quite understand the joys of winter. Now, that’s not altogether surprising considering what percentage of the world doesn’t experience winter. Furthermore, I’d also be downright lying if I didn’t mention that San Diego doesn’t actually sound all that bad on certain bitterly cold winter eves. Yet, when I went winter camping in Ontario it was clear to me that I'd been missing out on experience well worth pursuing.\nIt's still quite peculiar - whenever I mention that I’m from Canada, it seems that, more often than not, the first thing people do is mention the cold temperatures, and just how tough that must be. Let’s get two things straights. Firstly, winter is only one of our four respective seasons. Secondly, some of the best times in my life have been had in winter. When I look back on my childhood memories of winter, whether that be playing hockey, tobogganing or anything in between, I almost never recall the cold, and that's powerful when you stop to think about it.\nThat love of winter is something I’m trying to rediscover in my adulthood, as living in Turkey over the past three years has me sorely out of practice. To be honest, since the snow has hit, I've been diving in headfirst. I've brought out the old North Face jacket, and wiped the dust off my favourite toque. I'm ready.\nIf you’ve been following along with my blog, then it’s no secret that I’ve spent much of the last half a decade (or even decade if you think about it) exploring nations that aren’t my homeland. Since I moved back in August, I’ve made a conscious effort to explore what it is that I love about this country (of which, thankfully, there’s a fair bit to work with.) I’ve been diving into the cuisine and local produce, and taking part in lesser known festivals. I’ve been heading up north, and spending more time up at my cottage. Taking a trip up to northern ontario and doing a bit of winter camping seemed to be the most logical next step in my geographical and and personal exploration.\nAnd that’s where Ontario Parks comes in. If there was a more perfect partner to aid me in my aforementioned rediscovery, then I haven’t met them. I had always thought about my beloved provincial parks as places to visit in the dog days of summer, to go camping and all that comes with it. Last summer, I did just that in Algonquin Park. However, shortly after I arrived back in the country this August, I started to talk to Ontario Parks, and they let me know that they had their eyes firmly set on showing Ontarians, Canadians, and, well, anyone, that Ontario Parks are well worth keeping in the forefront of your mind when it comes to winter as well.\nLet's get to the nitty gritty though to help you get out there and explore on your own!\nThe truth is Ontario camping reservations are easy as pie to make. You can make Ontario camping reservations by phone 363 days a year, and online 365 days a year, so you've really got no excuse. You can check out the in-depth rules here, but it's all pretty straightforward.\nIn sum, you can make reservations up to 5 months before your arrival date. You'll pay 11 bucks to reserve on online and 13 bucks via the phone. You'll be using these services to book campsites, backcountry sites, cabins, yurts and cottages, so the whole gambit. Reservations can't be changed more than 4 months before your arrival date. As I said, I've noted the rules page above if you want to check it out, but it's relatively straightforward. Not to mention every person I was in contact with at Ontario Parks was a treat to be in contact with. The love they have for the parks is clearly evident, and they want to show you what they're all about as much as you want to get out there and explore.\nYou can search for days and years for the best Ontario provincial parks, but I think you'll find that, for the most part, they all accomplish the same goal - getting you out in nature. It's also a relatively inexpensive experience, so don't stress so much about it. You can do it 5 times in 5 different places, then decide for yourself what your preferences are. You can do the northern ontario campgrounds, then check out the southern ontario campgrounds after. There's no limit, my friends, especially considering how easy Ontario provincial park reservations are to make. I'd start with destinations closer to you, then go from there. Windy Lakes Provincial Park was near Sudbury, which, personally, I didn't feel like was too bad of a ride.\nIn general, there are plenty of provincial parks worth your time in Ontario, though, such as MacGregor Point Provincial Park.\nIf you’re looking to spend a day in another province, you can also take a peak at what one winter day in Quebec city is like.\nYou'll note from the picture above that we opted for the cabin. In summer I'm all about the thin tent to get that summer breeze, but that doesn't quite work as well with winter camping in Ontario, now does it? First, let me talk about the "we" in this particular experience.\nWhen I decided to pursue some Ontario winter camping I tapped my best buddy Neville on the shoulder. We packed up the car, and headed north towards Windy Lake Provincial Park. I know what you’re thinking – “Chris, you went to a place called Windy Lake Provincial Park in winter? That sounds freezing.” The answer is your question is that it was indeed cold, but I also revert back to a saying that quickly became my favourite when I lived in Norway.\nOur lodging was perfection, honestly. We had a winter cabin right on the edge of the lake. It was the sort of cabin that I imagine you’d draw in elementary school when asked to draw “A perfect Canadian winter cabin.” The picture at the top of this article is actually the view from our cabin. As you can imagine, we never got tired of it.\nLet's get some facts out there as it relates to the winter cabin. You’ve got a double bed, and two sizeable double bunk beds, which would be comfortable for a family, or really even three couples. The fireplace offers a reprieve from the wintry climes, and the barbecue (with a stovetop) offers a reprieve from the grumble of your belly. You’ve got a fire pit out front, a little porch, and my personal favourite – the lovely (and surprisingly stylish) indoor picnic table.\nBy the way, if you’re into the outdoors, you may want to be a part of the Outdoorsy People Club!\nThe cabin (and winter yurts for that matter) are the perfect place to be able to observe and appreciate Ontario's winter without suffering from it. You can go out during the day, and appreciate all the activities that winter camping in Ontario affords, but at night you can hang up your coat, and perhaps open a bottle of your favourite beverage.\nCross-country skiing is something I didn’t know that I loved until I did. In my youth, I craved the intensity of the downhill slopes, and yearned to weave in and out of people with less bravado than I. Now, it’s hard for me to think of anything more pleasant than moseying through the serenity and calm of the Canadian forest.\nIn some ways, I know that’s personal to me. Being a travel blogger has a way of making you feel like you always need to be “on” or are behind on the million things you need to do online. I mean, that’s an inherent truth, I am behind on a million things I need to do online, but that didn’t even come close to occurring to me when I was on the trails.\nOnaping Falls Nordics Ski Club has over 15km of groomed trails that suit skiers of all ages and experience levels. It was about a five minute drive from our trusty cabin, which couldn't be more convenient. If you like cross-country skiing, then having this fantastic nordic ski club so close to your winter cabin or yurt is going to be a huge bonus. The yurts, in some cases, are built into the sides of the ski trails. A day pass is also less than $15 a day, and it's just over $100 for the year, so you don't have to break the bank.\nIt’s headed up by a warm, kind lady by the name of Lise. We were inadvertently a few minutes late in meeting her, and I can tell you that I felt awful the moment I realized she’s in the running for the sweetest lady in Ontario. She’s the president of the club, and she took time from her day to make sure Neville and I got a proper feel for the trail, and understood the significance of the trail to the community. Devon Kershaw, a Canadian olympian cross-country skier, actually learned the ropes at this very ski club, and he's got a trail named after him. It's a beloved staple of the area, and it should be.\nThe trails were beautiful, well maintained and a joy to experience. Lise was patient as Neville and I tried our best to not embarrass ourselves, and I wouldn't hesitate to head up there again to go for another spin.\nI spent time chatting with Lise after and she brought up some things that really resonated with me, especially considering how I was framing this whole experience.\n"It's being able to go out there and just get lost in thought, and meditating in a way...just feeling so good about being out in nature. It's a really great community. We're all in this because we want to be. If people want to come and cross-country ski, we're here to help them learn. If you can walk, you can start cross-country skiing!"\nI'm not sure we looked all that cool doing it, but that's besides the point.\nWe loved it, just loved it.\nHow could we sit in our cabin the whole day and not want to get out there and get on the ice? Well, that’s a question we asked ourselves, and the obvious answer was that we needed to get out there and do some ice fishing.\nI’m not sure Nev nor I are particularly proficient when it comes to ice fishing (in fact I'm sure we're not), but Rob from Ontario Parks went through painstaking efforts to help us out. We had a hut with the penultimate view, and two rods going, both inside and out. Did we catch anything? Nope, unfortunately not - just a newfound love for the sport of ice fishing, I suppose.\nThere’s something about being out there and having nothing but nature as far as the eye can see.\nThe ice offers a vantage point that you can’t get in the summer without the aid of a boat, when all you need in the winter is a decent pair of boots, or snowshoes if you’ve got them. For me, this was the highlight. The sun was setting on our hut, and we had some tunes playing while the conversation flowed, and the fish did their best to entirely ignore us. I would definitely consider going ice fishing again, and I’d recommend it If you haven’t ever given it a shot.\nI've been thinking about it since, and I can't recall that many excuses we have to just be alone in nature by ourselves and with our friends. Something like ice fishing buys you a few hours to be off the grid, and to not worry about the trivial things. You focus on good conversation, and you focus on where you are, and why that might matter to you.\nAs we exited our little ice fishing tent, the sunset was astonishing, and it was a reminder that winter camping in Ontario is an experience to rival some of my favourite adventures from the past.\nI think in many ways that’s what renting out a cabin like that for a few days offers. It’s an escape from the realities of your daily life (for me blogging, emails, and social media), and an opportunity to discover another side of yourself (for me the ice fishing, hunting, the expert cross country skier I am most certainly not).\n6. Cook some food, start a fire, and get out the bourbon.\n7. Have a fruitful conversation with your best friend.\n8. Sleep like a newborn babe beside the fire.\nWinter, in my opinion, offers a different level of quiet. In the summer, you might hear the birds chirping or the lapping of the waves, but in the winter, you can appreciate the absence of sound itself, which is something that everyone needs to experience…regardless of their feelings about the oft-misunderstood season of winter.\nI was received as media by Ontario Parks, whom I humbly thanks. Are you a fan of camping and hiking? Have you ever been in the winter? Have you ever thought about winter camping before in Ontario or Canada? Did this article change your mind? I'd love to hear any and all of your thoughts below!\nDon't forge to pin it as well if you enjoyed it! |

For more than 600 years, people flocked to arenas across the Roman empire to watch the highly trained gladiators. Historians have said that women also fought as gladiators. These mighty competitors made a mark in history and have also made a mark in fashion. This year is no exception. We can see this influence through bold metallic dresses, wide grommeted belts, gladiator sandals, heavy metal necklaces and leather stripped skirts and collars. Among the celebrities rocking the look are Taylor Swift, Emma Stone, Rosie Huntington-Whitely and Alicia Vikander, who all nodded to fierce gladiator style at this year's Met Gala. The good news is you can add just one accessory to any outfit to reflect this ancient Roman look.\nOn the left, the outfit I wore to Free Press Summer Fest: a gold and black swimsuit, skirt with flaps and grommets and gladiator sandals. I also added a brushed gold headband and choker. On the right, I added two gold accented belts and booties to this simple black crop top and skirt for a dinner out.\nOn the left I added gladiator flats and a gold arm band to this shorts and T-shirt outfit. On the right, I added close-toed gladiator heels to a leather skirt and white blouse. The shoes completely changed up both of these outfits. |
HUMBLE, Texas: Roger Penske said Wednesday that Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin have exchanged text messages since their final-lap crash at Fontana last weekend that left Hamlin hospitalized with a fractured vertebra.\nPenske said he�s also sent text messages to Hamlin, who is expected to miss at least six weeks. Penske and Logano, one of his drivers, were playing in the pro-am leading up to this week�s PGA Houston Open. Logano twice turned down interview requests.\nHamlin was examined Tuesday by Dr. Jerry Petty of Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Associates, who determined he won�t need back surgery.\nHe didn�t know what Logano and Hamlin said to one another in their text messages. The former Gibbs Racing teammates had a prickly relationship long before Sunday�s wreck. Logano replaced Tony Stewart at JGR in 2009, and signs of a rift between he and Hamlin surfaced after the Daytona 500, when the two exchanged barbs on Twitter.\nBefore Fontana, the two nearly came to blows at Bristol after Hamlin spun Logano while Logano chased Jeff Gordon for a late lead. Logano yelled into Hamlin�s car after the race, sparking a brief confrontation between their teams.\nThen came the wreck in California, and the presumption that Logano had contact with Hamlin as payback. Penske doesn�t buy it.\nPenske said he�s never seen NASCAR more competitive, and the increased media scrutiny is making every incident and altercation between drivers more serious than it usually is.\nPenske said he didn�t know much about the personal history between Logano and Hamlin. He�s confident that the latest dustup and the public backlash won�t throw off Logano, who�s currently ninth in the Sprint Cup standings � one spot ahead of Hamlin.\n�The fuel in the fire after Bristol created a lot of public noise,� Penske said. �But as I said, that�s the environment we�re in right now. He�s still the same guy we hired six months ago, and I�m 100 percent confident that he�s going to be able to execute when he needs to be at the highest level. |

The wiretaps on Sami Al-Arian's telephones in Tampa picked up not just his terrorist chatter but everyone he spoke with, including reporters. For years, the local press divided on him, with the Tampa Tribune critical of him and the St. Petersburg Times very gentle on him.\nJIM HARPER: You probably read … in the Tribune that a former state senator thinks you ought to be fired and so on and so forth.\nSAMI AL-ARIAN: Is that what she said?\nHARPER: She's just—she doesn't hold any office now but she's I think considered a leader in the local Jewish community.\nAL-ARIAN: Oh, she's Jewish, huh?\nHARPER: Yes, Helen Gordon Davis.\nHARPER: I think you should confront the Tribune directly.\nHARPER: And ah, ah I think that every error that they make I think that you should at the least, ah, write them a letter.\nHARPER: And point it out.\nHARPER: Ah, just so, just on general principles … but also to preserve your legal rights, in case you do decide you want to file, you know. Suppose they do something else?\nHARPER: And you'll have a record of how they responded.\nHARPER: You know, I mean, actually … I'm giving you advice as a journalist. … That's how you build a record against somebody that's treating you unfairly.\nHARPER: I'll give you that advice 'cause I don't [laughs] plan to treat you unfairly.\nThe conversation ends on a touching note.\nHARPER: Well, I feel like you and I are getting to know each other pretty well.\nAL-ARIAN: Yes. Well, ah … I don't regret that.\nAL-ARIAN: Very well, thank you.\nHARPER: I don't either. Thank you for calling me.\nO'Reilly reports that Harper no longer works at the St. Petersburg Times and no one there will say what has become of him – "He just kind of vanished." Steven Emerson, discussing this topic with O'Reilly, points out that Harper "not only bought into Al-Arian's denials that he was a terrorist, but he actually started coaching him. … This was a wholesale bias that was deliberately perpetrated by the St. Petersburg Times for years."\nThis reference to the obscurity of Jim Harper's present whereabouts is rather curious in light of an article in the St. Petersburgh Times on August 12, 2005, "Al-Arian's talks with reporter examined." It quotes him: "that night [Oct. 30, 1995] when I called Sami, I had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that there really was something to what the stories said." The same article goes on to say that Harper is "now a writer in Tampa."\nJan. 21, 2011 update: I suspected above that other MSM reporters to likewise but lacked proof. Here's one small instance, an exchange between a Washington Examiner staff writer and the outreach director at Dar al-Hijrah mosque near Washington, D.C.\nJohari Abdul-Malik, outreach director at Dar al-Hijrah mosque near Washington, D.C.\nNot sure you remember me — I featured you last year in a page I do at the Examiner, called Credo.

I'd love to meet with you and get your take on recent concerns in the Dar al-Hijrah community, and/or community happenings.\nLet's get schedule a meeting. Maybe in two weeks.\nComment: "I'm interested in looking into Muslim concerns in the community" is code for "Tell me what bothers you." The reporter, in other words, is looking for a Muslims-as-victims angle to write up. |
Abstract: Many proposed quantum mechanical models of black holes include highly nonlocal interactions. The time required for thermalization to occur in such models should reflect the relaxation times associated with classical black holes in general relativity. Moreover, the time required for a particularly strong form of thermalization to occur, sometimes known as scrambling, determines the time scale on which black holes should start to release information. It has been conjectured that black holes scramble in a time logarithmic in their entropy, and that no system in nature can scramble faster. In this article, we address the conjecture from two directions. First, we exhibit two examples of systems that do indeed scramble in logarithmic time: Brownian quantum circuits and the antiferromagnetic Ising model on a sparse random graph. Unfortunately, both fail to be truly ideal fast scramblers for reasons we discuss. Second, we use Lieb-Robinson techniques to prove a logarithmic lower bound on the scrambling time of systems with finite norm terms in their Hamiltonian. The bound holds in spite of any nonlocal structure in the Hamiltonian, which might permit every degree of freedom to interact directly with every other one. |

Investors in Dubai’s real estate stricken with short-termism.\nIn light of market turbulence and increased anxiety, the question most often put forth has been: is there any reason to be increasingly bullish in light of the uncertainty that permeates the economic environment? From real estate to stocks to retail, indicators point to continued sluggishness, and there appears to be a palpable sense of alarm in the everyday commentary.\nGiven the increased risk, why then would there be any need to invest?\nThe real risk any investor must assess is whether the aggregate income from an investment (including resale value) will, over his prospective holding period, return at least the purchasing value in current value terms, plus a modest rate of return on that initial investment. Though this cannot be done with any sense of engineering precision, there are a few guidelines that can be looked at.\nThese include the purchase price, the evaluation of long-term business prospects of the company and/or investment, the certainty with which management and/or the economy has a bearing in looking to reward its principals. And finally the level of inflation expected in the economic environment that tends to reduce the present value of the returns.\nThese factors are always somewhat fuzzy, but it is not difficult to evaluate these conditions. In a sense, the volatility that is experienced in the marketplace (that actually benefits the investor) is seen to be the exact opposite, eliciting dread, when all that is happening is that the future expected return on the investment is increasing.\nIn Dubai, the phenomenon of falling rents and stock prices has led to increased concerns about the investment climate, for real estate as well as equities. In both cases, when the above criteria is used, it is clear that any decline in the value of assets is exactly the reason for increasing investment allocation to them.\nTime is of the essence, and in modern day vernacular, the term institutional investment has become somewhat synonymous with short term-investing, when it should be diametrically opposed to that. If you cannot hold an investment for 10 years, do not even consider holding it for 10 minutes.\nIn this regard, time becomes the friend of the patient investor, an enemy of the trigger-happy. However, market commentary continues to feed the illusion of sophisticated investors either selling and/or buying in droves, capitalising on superior information, rendering the small investor helpless in the face of such whipsaw moves.\nIn the recent market cycle, indices have moved up and down by more than 20 per cent in a manner of months, regardless of whichever major market that you have looked at. With markets being on a major rampage, followed by a sudden, massive seizure.\nWith such volatile movements, the landscape is all the more friendly for any investor (big or small) as long as he sticks to the fundamentals. Contrary to public opinion, there is no explanation for such massive short-term moves, but with such large sums of money being allotted to institutional investors, is there any doubt that markets would behave in an aberrant way, given the Alice in Wonderland thinking?\nIn equities as well as real estate, the advantages that certain companies have over others in Dubai is manifestly obvious. Yet no data capturing indicator will be able to encapsulate this. The competitive strengths of Emaar and Nakheel are obvious to even a casual observer of business, yet the professional investor looks to seize on short-term moves as trigger points for entry/exit in an increasingly hyper active manner.\nDoes this mean that the investor can foresee the rapidly changing economic landscape that is being brought upon by technology? Of course not. Successful investing has always been about surviving wave upon wave of change, and yet being able to thrive in an environment where such change is actually beneficial for society.\nThe same is as true for cities as it is for companies. It’s always considered fashionable to invest in the next big trend, whether it is AI or 3D printing. For the successful investor however, it’s about sticking to easy targets, and leave the space exploration stuff to the investor.\nAny dissociation in these prices, caused by the irrational investor serves as a gift to the patient one, amid a backdrop where Dubai has continually provided opportunities throughout its existence. Such opportunities are commonplace more than before. |

Home nutrition supplements taurine training workout routine Does taurine improve physical performance and post-workout recovery?\nTaking pills, capsules, powders, or drinks containing taurine may help you improve your athletic performance, performance during your high intensity workout with or without weights, or moderate intensity and prolonged exercise.\nHere I will mention some studies whichconclude that supplementation with taurine can help reduce oxidative stress, improve the increase in VO2max and optimize post-workout recovery, among other advantages. However, other studies conclude that taking taurine does not significantly affect performance during training or muscle recovery.\nTaurine itself is an amino acid, although some scientists do not consider it as such. Its main function has to do with the metabolism of fats primarily because it intervenes in the formation of bile, so that way fats can be emulsified and well digested. It also helps eliminate free radicals and participates in the body's anti-inflammatory processes.\nTaurine deficiency Not only can reduce physical performance during your training session, it can also lead to the risk of suffering from some form of heart disease.\nOf course, when digestion is affected by the deficiency of this amino acid (which compromises the production of bile), the nutritional part (malnutrition) would negatively influence energy metabolic processes.\nFirst, I will mention a study that concludes that taurine consumption does not positively affect sports performance since it does not help improve VO2max levels, nor does it influence energy metabolism, either aerobic or anaerobic.\nStudy 1: the objective was to determine the effects of taurine supplementation on speed runners. For this the performance of men with an average age of 26 years was evaluated.\nFrom the total of subjects, they chose to divide them into two groups: one group who received a pre-training dosage of 6 grams of taurine during the study's duration, and the other group was simply given a placebo supplement ... Of course they were never told which group they belonged to.\nMethod: The method consisted in that each participant had to run / jog in a treadmill until arriving at the failure or until they could not run more. Unfortunately the speed at which they ran was not possible to look at since the full article of the study has a cost. However, for the times achieved we assume that it can be speeds between 15 km / h and 17 km / h.\nRESULTS: The results obtained show that although the time to reach fatigue was higher for the group that consumed the 6 grams of taurine daily, this time was not very significant compared to the time achieved by the runners of the group to which they were supplied a simple placebo.\nThe group supplemented with taurine achieved an average time of 277.30 ± 40.64 seconds while the placebo group achieved an average time of 237.70 ± 66.00 seconds. That is, although the group that consumed taurine lasted longer before reaching total fatigue, the placebo group was not far behind ... or seen from statistical terms: the placebo group was not significantly behind the other group.\nFor this reason it is concluded that taurine does not significantly affect the physical performance, or at least not in this type of physical exercise or running at sub-maximum intensity until complete muscle fatigue. However, this does not mean that in cyclically structured exercises with short intervals of execution and relatively long periods of rest (such as "traditional" weight training sessions), the results have to be the same with not have noticeable effects on performance.\n"I will now mention two studies that mention positive points regarding the daily consumption of taurine:"\nStudy 2: In this second study they wanted to show if the daily intake of 7 grams of taurine would increase levels of it (taurine) in the plasma and skeletal muscles of the participants, and if in addition this factor of high consumption of taurine could have effects on the oxidation of fats (fat burning).\nThe results showed that taurine levels did not increase significantly because of the intake of 7 grams daily of this amino acid and of course it is also not demonstrated that the consumption of taurine influences the fat burning (in the oxidation of fats of reservation).\nHowever, although the taurine concentration did not increase significantly, the levels of other amino acids such as isoleucine, valine, leucine, arginine, cystine, alanine and glutamate did increase significantly.\nDue to the above, although it is not mentioned directly, it is probable that the consumption of taurine influences in a positive way in training with or without weights executed at high intensity and for short intervals (and with intervals of rest), if we consider that although taurine itself did not increase significantly, it did the levels of the amino acids mentioned in the previous paragraph.\nThese include the well-known BCAA´s, which have a positive effect on both physical performance and recovery, mainly because they delay or lessen fatigue mainly of the nervous system, and also because they influence the production of nitric oxide, glutamine, etc.\nIntroduction to study number 3: exhaustive exercise is known to increase the production of free radicals that can induce a chain of events called lipid peroxidation. The highly reactive free radicals modify several components that give rise to tissue damage. It has also been shown that DNA damage can occur because of oxidative stress after exercise of high intensity. The potential of dietary antioxidants to detoxify peroxides produced during exercise has received increasing attention in recent years.\nTaurine, 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is one of the most abundant amino acids in mammalian cells. Taurine has cytoprotective and enantiostatic properties through its actions on antioxidation, detoxification, osmoregulation, membrane stabilization and regulation of intracellular calcium flux due to its molecular structure. This indicates that taurine can protect against damage due to oxidation in many stress conditions, and also helps to attenuate cell necrosis and apoptosis (programmed cell death).\nTherefore, it is reasonable to hypothesize that taurine may exert a beneficial effect on the prevention of DNA damage in white blood cells (WBC) due to exhaustive exercise induced oxidative damage.\nObjective and method: eleven 18- to 20-year-old men (all of whom were sedentary) were selected to assess the protective effects of exercise-induced oxidative stress on taurine supplementation and the effect of taurine supplementation on exercise performance... to participate in two identical exercise cycle ergometer (at 60 rpm) until exhaustion (fatigue).\nParticipants received all 6 grams of taurine daily. They were evaluated before starting the study and also at the end of the study (after 7 days) to compare possible changes.\nResults and conclusions: After supplementation, the change in taurine concentration showed positive correlations with changes in exercise time to exhaustion and maximal workload (the level of VO2max and time to fatigue). The results suggest that taurine can attenuate exercise-induced damage and improve exercise capacity due to its cellular protective properties.\nFor some types of exercise and some types of people, it is likely that the consumption of taurine does not have significant positive effects on physical / sports performance and much less on fat burning. For example, in high-performance athletes, the changes will not be significant for obvious reasons.\nAt the same time, in other types of people such as sedentary people (as shown in study 3), the results can be observed significantly for obvious reasons ... that is, because there is much to improve, while the high-performance athletes or more trained people already have higher peaks in physiological adaptations achieved, so there is very little that they have to improve compared to starting point.\nStudy 2: Stuart D. Galloway, Jason L. Talanian, Anna K. Shoveller, George J. F. Heigenhauser, Lawrence L. Spriet (2008). Seven days of oral taurine supplementation does not increase muscle taurine content or alter substrate metabolism during prolonged exercise in humans.\nStudy 3: M. Zhang et al. (2004).

It's taken more than a decade, but a critical oversight board tasked with advising the president on the privacy and civil liberties implications of the NSA's surveillance programs is finally getting a technology adviser who understands how the government's surveillance tools actually work.\nThe government announced last week that respected Columbia University computer scientist Steve Bellovin has been appointed the first technology scholar for the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board—the board that gained notoriety in 2014 after it condemned the NSA's bulk phone records collection program (.pdf) but found little wrong with its court-ordered bulk collection of data from ISPs like Google and Yahoo.\nUntil now, the five-member PCLOB has consisted primarily of lawyers, three of whom are former attorneys with the US Department of Justice and only one of whom has a civil liberties background—James X. Dempsey, former vice president for public policy at the Center for Democracy and Technology who is now with the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology.\nBellovin is co-director of Columbia's Cybersecurity and Privacy Center, a part of the university's Data Science Institute, and he has authored or co-authored a number of papers on government surveillance, including Keys Under Doormats about the security risks of installing government-friendly backdoors in encryption software. He was previously a chief technologist with the Federal Trade Commission as well as a member of the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Advisory Committee.\nAlthough the PCLOB has had staff members available to answer technology questions for them in the past, none of those staff members had the level of expertise Bellovin has. Bellovin told WIRED that he hopes to contribute a crucial missing ingredient to the PCLOB.\n"As we have learned from some of the Snowden stuff, a lot of this is very technical," he told WIRED. "I don’t think they can make policy decisions without understanding what the technology actually enables, or for that matter, prevents. I understand enough about the law and policy to be able to translate, if you will, things into their terms."\nThe most important thing about the NSA's spy programs, Bellovin says, is not what gets stated openly about them, but what their implications are—implications that are often obscured to anyone who doesn't grasp the full technical capabilities of the spy tools the government uses.\nBellovin says his role will be not only to understand the implications of the tools, but also to determine if there is a better way to accomplish the government's intelligence goals while still preserving privacy and civil liberties.\nAlthough he doesn't know yet the specific programs he'll be focusing on, the board has already told him he'll be looking at surveillance programs that have been authorized by Executive Order 12333, one of the least-understood and most wide-sweeping authorities the government uses for spying. Documents leaked by Edward Snowden in 2013 have so far exposed the government's so-called 215 and 702 bulk collection programs, but have said little about the EO12333 authority and how it's being used.\nThe 215 program refers to the NSA's collection of phone records from US telecoms, which it claimed was authorized under Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act. The 702 bulk collection program refers to data collected from ISPs and other service providers through a court order. This collection was authorized under section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.\nThe government established these two authorizations—215 and 702—after the 9/11 attacks. But EO12333 pre-dates both of these authorities by more than a decade.\n"It’s a very broad order that gives a lot of authority to the intelligence community, and a lot is going to be covered under this," Bellovin says.\nPresident Ronald Reagan issued EO12333 in 1981; it authorizes US intelligence agencies to collect foreign intelligence. But unlike the 215 and 702 programs, which require court oversight and orders, EO12333 has no court oversight. And unlike the 215 program, which focuses on collecting only metadata, EO12333 allows for the collection of content, even content belonging to US persons if this collection is "incidental."\nBut "incidental" can be broadly interpreted, and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-California), chairwoman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, has long said that her committee has lacked the ability to "sufficiently" oversee intelligence activities conducted under 12333.\nThe PCLOB was established in 2004 by Congress as part of the Executive Office of the President, upon recommendation of the 9/11 Commission. It was intended to serve as an advisory body to administration officials about the privacy and civil liberties implications of proposed laws and policies implemented in the fight against terror.\nBut the board remained ineffectual for years after having an inauspicious and controversial start. One of the first board members resigned in 2007 amidst claims that the White House under President George W. Bush tried to control what it published in its reports. After that, the Senate Judiciary Committee failed to hold hearings to confirm nominated members a number of times, leaving the board with empty seats. It wasn't until August 2012 that the Senate finally confirmed four of Obama's nominations for the board. Finally, on May 7, 2013, weeks before the first of the revelations from Edward Snowden were published, the Senate confirmed David Medine, a former associated director of the Federal Trade Commission, as chair.\nToday, the five members of the board serve staggered terms lasting six years. The current board consists of Medine, Patricia M. Wald, a former federal appellate court judge; Rachel L. Brand, chief counsel for regulatory litigation at the US Chamber of Commerce and a former assistant attorney general for the Justice Department; Elisebeth Collins Cook, a former assistant attorney general at DoJ; and Dempsey.\nIn 2013, after the PCLOB was revived, Bellovin sent a note to Jim Dempsey, whom he knew, saying, "Five very nice experienced lawyers; but where is your technologist?"\nThe note made an impression, and Bellovin was invited to provide testimony to the board at one of its first public hearings that year; then last year the board asked him about becoming a full-time adviser. Bellovin, who already had a security clearance from his days working on the Homeland Security Science and Technology Advisory Committee, jumped at the chance because he considers it important work.\nBellovin's appointment will last only six months to a year—at which point both he and the board will re-evaluate. He also plans to work for the board only a couple of days a week, traveling from New York to DC, since he wasn't ready to commit full time. Because the programs he will examine are classified, he'll have to work in a SCIF.\nBut Bellovin is optimistic he can still be useful, though he acknowledges it will take time to figure out how the government's spy programs fit together.\n"It will take me a while just to understand what is going on, let alone look at specific things. One person is not going to understand the technologies of the entire intelligence community," he says.\nAll of this assumes that the government is providing the PCLOB with the information it needs to fully understand intelligence programs.\nBellovin acknowledges that the lack of technical expertise in Washington is a big problem. "We desperately need more people who are comfortable in both realms. We need policy makers who understand technology—most of them are lawyers. They’re very good lawyers, but they’re lawyers, not technologists."\nAlthough the PCLOB is mandated by statute, this doesn't mean that a sitting president or administration will listen to it. With that in mind, what exactly does Bellovin hope to accomplish?\n"It’s no secret that I’m a privacy advocate. I’m going to look very hard at some of these programs to see [if they are] unnecessarily violative of privacy and civil liberties. ... [T]here have been reports that some of the metadata programs that Snowden revealed weren’t in fact actually working very well.... But that’s really the question, isn’t it? If you’re going to violate privacy it should at least be because it’s actually accomplishing something." |

Don't you just love the way your hair feels when you leave the salon?!? That perfect amount of volume and bounce from a flawless blow dry. I can never get that same feeling when I dry out my own hair at home. Sometimes I just want my hair to have that refreshing feeling in between cut and color appointments and that is where Parlor: A Beauty Bar comes in! You may have seen this gorgeous salon at their first location on the Country Club Plaza and now they have just opened a second location at Town Center! Parlor is Kansas City's first blow dry and beauty bar. There is no color or cutting, just shampoo, blow dry, and styling. If you are headed out for a night out with your girlfriends get your makeup touched up too at the beauty bar!\nI stopped into the new location to have some fun with Kenya, one of the fabulous Parlor Stylists! We wanted to create some looks that would be perfect for sweater weather. I know it isn't quite cold enough yet to pull on our knits and cowl necks but I thought I would get you thinking about some fun things you can do and some ideas to start practicing now. One thing I absolutely can't stand is when my hair gets stuck in the neck of my sweater or even worse gets that awful static cling! NO THANKS! I'm always looking for cute ways to keep my hair up and out of the way.\nWe started out by giving my hair an all over wavy curl for texture and hold with a 1" curling iron. I have pretty thin hair, so I like to put a little bit of wave in it to give it some body.\nThe products Kenya used on my hair were amazing! Have you tried the Living Proof line yet? If you haven't, pick up the root boosting Amp Instant Texture Volumizer! It was amazing and made my hair have an instant lift without feeling sticky and weighed down. I loved it!\nFor the first look Kenya pulled my hair back into a messy bun using a clear elastic band and left the top section of my hair out. She then teased the roots of the top section of my hair creating some volume on top of my head. Next, she pulled back pieces from the top and bobby pinned them into my messy bun. This created a soft pulled back look without too much effort.\nShe left a section on the side of my part to braid along the side of my head that would be tucked into the messy bun. She created a french braid by starting the braid as usual and then gradually pulled in more pieces as she went along. This kept the braid thick and close to my head.\nAnd there you go!! An effortless but polished looking up-do that will keep your hair out of your neckline.\nFall 2014 is all about soft hair and dewy skin. For a next day look, pull your hair out of your messy bun and you will have wavy body and curls left for a half up, half down look.\nFor the next style, we pulled my hair into a low side pony tail with those pretty waves flowing over my shoulder.\nFor a more pulled up look, take pieces from your pony tail and pin them up into the center of your ponytail criss-crossing and weaving the pieces across one another to create a weaved and pretty pinned up look.\nAnother look that is always classic and glam is pulling back one whole side of your hair and leaving the other side very full and wavy.\nAfter we had some fun with my hair, I checked out the fabulous makeup bar! The lipstick shades were endless and all so gorgeous! I am a lipstick girl for sure! I love to change up my lip colors with the seasons and always love experimenting with new colors!\nI wish I owned every shade!\nI ended up going with a color called "Adele" to match my glam hair style. I had an amazing time with the ladies at Parlor and can't wait to go back! They took amazing care of me and I had a blast!\nThis post was sponsored by Parlor: A Beauty Bar. All opinions are my own.\nI have been dying to try Parlor and now you've made want to reach for the phone to make an appointment! I love all the looks! Can't wait to try out some for myself!\nHow awesome! I love all of the hairstyles you showcased, too! :-) Beautiful!\nThank you Kelly! It was a lot of fun!\nJessie you would love it! It's so much fun! Next time you are in town we should go! |
Q. What are some of the main differences between MailGate and O365.\nUsers are no longer required to register. A passcode is sent to the user in a separate email or the user signs into the their Microsoft account.\nEncrypted Messages are no longer stored in a mailbox online. The message is stored as an email attachment sent to the recipient.\nSince the encrypted message is an attachment. To open the message, the user opens the attachment instead of clicking on a link to login to their online mailbox.\nRetention is no longer required.\nQ. My users send encrypted email messages to recipients outside our organization. Is there anything that external recipients have to do in order to read and reply to email messages that are encrypted with Office 365 Message Encryption?\nBy signing in with a Microsoft account or a work or school account associated with Office 365. For details, see Send, view, and reply to encrypted messages.\nBy using a one-time passcode. To learn more, see Use a one-time passcode to view an encrypted message.\nQ. Are Office 365 encrypted messages stored in the cloud or on Microsoft servers?\nNo, the encrypted messages are kept on the recipient’s email system, and when the recipient opens the message, it is temporarily posted for viewing on Office 365 servers. The messages are not stored there.\nQ. Can I customize encrypted email messages with my brand?\nQ. Does the service require a license for every user in my organization?\nA license is required for every user in the organization who sends encrypted email.\nQ. Do external recipients require subscriptions?\nNo, external recipients do not require a subscription to read or reply to encrypted messages.\nQ. How is Office 365 Message Encryption different from S/MIME?\nS/MIME is essentially a client-side encryption technology, and requires complicated certificate management and publishing infrastructure. Office 365 Message Encryption uses transport rules and does not depend on certificate publishing.\nQ. How does Office 365 Message Encryption work?\nVisit Encryption in Office 365.\nQ. Can I read the encrypted messages over mobile devices?\nYes, you can view messages on Android and iOS by downloading the OME Viewer apps from the Google Play store and the Apple App store. Open the HTML attachment in the OME Viewer app and then follow the instructions to open your encrypted message. For other mobile devices, you can open the HTML attachment as long as your mail client supports Form Post.\nQ. Are replies and forwarded messages encrypted?\nYes. Responses continue to be encrypted throughout the duration of the thread.\nQ. Does Office 365 Message Encryption provide localization?\nIncoming email and HTML content is localized based on sender email settings. The viewing portal is localized based on recipient's browser settings. However, the actual body (content) of encrypted message isn't localized.\nQ. What encryption method is used for Office 365 Message Encryption?\nOffice 365 Message Encryption uses Rights Management Services (RMS) as its encryption infrastructure. The encryption method used depends on where you obtain the RMS keys used to encrypt and decrypt messages.\nCryptographic Mode 2 is used. Cryptographic Mode 2 is an updated and enhanced AD RMS cryptographic implementation. It supports RSA 2048 for signature and encryption, and supports SHA-256 for signature.\nQ. Why do some encrypted messages say they come from [email protected]?\nWhen an encrypted reply is sent from the encryption portal or through the OME Viewer app, the sending email address is set to [email protected] because the encrypted message is sent through a Microsoft endpoint. This helps to prevent encrypted messages from being marked as spam. The displayed name on the email and the address within the encryption portal aren't changed because of this labeling. Also, this labeling only applies to messages sent through the portal, not through any other email client.\nQ. How many recipients can I send an Office 365 encrypted message to?\nThe recipient limit for an encrypted message is based on the number of characters in the message’s To field. When combined (after distribution list expansion), recipient addresses in the To field should not exceed 11,980 characters. Because email addresses can vary in character length, there isn’t a standard recipient limit for a single encrypted message.\nQ. Is it possible to revoke a message sent to a particular recipient?\nNo. You can’t revoke a message to a particular person after it’s sent. |

It’s about to become easier for restaurants in Uptown Whittier to stay open past midnight — well at least three days a week and the nights before federal holidays.\nAnd the rules for live entertainment will be better defined and extend to most restaurants in the Uptown area. Now, only restaurants on Greenleaf Avenue from Bailey to Penn streets and a couple blocks on Comstock Avenue are allowed live entertainment.\nThe city has been grappling with these issues for years. On Tuesday, the City Council said OK to the changes in concept. The new rules still have to be penned, considered at the the Planning Commission before returning to the council for approval.\n“I hope it encourages businesses in the Uptown,” Mayor Joe Vinatieri said.\nOf the 52 restaurants in the Uptown area that sell alcoholic beverages, only about a dozen can remain open past midnight. Of those, only five can stay open to 2 a.m. seven days a week, according to city documents. The others can stay open past midnight — but typically only on Fridays and Saturdays.\nThe new rules would give the time-limited restaurants a one-shot opportunity to apply to remain open until 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday and the nights before a federal holiday.\nConal McNamara, director of community development, said the city would require a permit for every restaurant that wants to be open past midnight. There would be no cost, he added.\nOlivia Rios, operations director for the Whittier Uptown Association representing businesses in the area, said the proposed changes will be good for the restaurants.\nThe new rules on live entertainment would mandate that any business with amplified sound, whether it be music or disc jockey, and any type of stand-up performance, such as a comedian or magician, request a conditional use permit that would need to be approved by the Planning Commission.\nPreviously, city staffers decided whether they could approve or send the request along to the commission, McNamara said.\nHowever, restaurateurs who want to feature acoustic instruments without the use of amplification systems need staff approval only and ambient music, such as prerecorded, low volume or background music, would be permitted by right. |

Filing record expungments in Georgia allows individuals, in certain situations, to have their criminal charges wiped clean. Not everyone will qualify for record expungement, which is now called record restriction after the 2013 changes to the law passed.\nIn addition to filing for record restriction, the 2013 laws were expanded to allow for certain court and even jail records to be restricted and sealed if properly applied for and granted. This can be a time consuming process and you must know exactly who to contact and what to file for your case.\nAt Zeliff | Watson, we help eligible people seal and restrict their records in all Metro Atlanta and North Georgia courts. If you think your charges maybe eligible for expungement, give us a call today, or email us directly at: [email protected] and we will discuss whether our services could help expunge your record. |
A Cape Coral man crashed his vehicle into a home on the 100 block of Eldorado Parkway West Sunday morning, the Cape Coral Police Department said.\nThe driver Jeffrey Simpson, 39, had a blood-alcohol level of .15 when the crash took place around 6:45 a.m., deputies said.\nSimpson was speeding on Eldorado Parkway and was forced to drive into a driveway when the road ended. The collision damaged a parked car outside of the structure and the garage, deputies said. The impact from the crash also caused a large tool chest to fall onto and damage an antique Corvette being stored inside.\nSimpson then attempted to leave the crash scene before getting his car stuck.\nSimpson was arrested for three counts of DUI with property damage, hit and run and DUI with BAC over .15. |
I've always wanted to see what it was like. Eyesore or delightful cheery addition to the street?\nYou can only tell by visiting. Yesterday I was deep West so I popped over to take a look.\nThat sort of ruins the effect. It looks like the dispute continues.\nA rare thing, a design book I actually read. A good book but so many questions. I will write more one day but for now this is pretty close to how I felt.\nIt was closed when I went. But I don't think that mattered much. Very good.\nI enjoyed the RCA WIP show. As messy and as ‘in progress’ as you’d want it to be. There was an honesty that university final shows have lost, I think.\nUnfortunately I don't have many pictures from this.\n1x Maybe Boris Bikes and Oyster cards have finally broken everyones mental model of transport for the better. In London at least. Greater adoption of electric cars seems to have given everyone the freedom to think differently. Why has the source of power caused that shift? What can you do with an electric motor that you can’t with a petrol engine?\n10x Here’s a funny thing. Some sketches of cars, or of the common shapes and lines of cars, but grouped by brand. This felt really odd to me. The brand feels entirely superfluous. Especially in an environment where you are starting from a blank canvas. What’s the role of the brand here - could you really say a particular brand of car has a distinctive style of design any more? Lamborghini maybe, but Renault? Any of the other mainstream car brands?\nEspecially when they are all owned by just three or four holding companies.\n100x As “mobility” means service more than vehicle, what’s the role of the brand? The product is the service… How many other brands + products can you say that about? The service provider will become more important the product provider which has huge implications for brands (companies) that sell physical products. Barclays Boris Bikes vs Santander Cycles? Does anyone care?\nWho's the Battista Farina of service design?\nI don't think I'm making much sense.\nI enjoyed this exhibition a lot. It closes next Sunday 28th January. You should make an effort to go, but it's probably sold out. Sorry about that.\nYou can't take pictures, like all good exhibitions.\n36. No idea what rabbit hole I went down to find this, but y'know - internet. Last year Mike Ashley gave an update at the Sports Direct shareholders meeting which was held at the London Stock Exchange. Profits had dropped 59% that year. He urged investors to note down every word he was about to say. He stood up, spoke 17 words and then sat down.\n“It’s clear we have smashed the ball out of the park with our Selfridges of sport concept”.\nFor our international listeners who haven't heard of Sports Direct here's a picture.\n37. Strange goings on at British Vogue summed up well by Jeremy Leslie the king of magazine blogging. Two covers using exactly the same picture, styled by new Vogue editor Enninful. No obvious tie-up. Odd.\nI’m actually excited by this. The whole sector needs a shake up design-wise and you’d think the combination of 2018 + Vogue + Enninful would be potent. Here’s hoping that’s what this is and not just circumstances.\n38. Muji have launched a hotel in Shenzhen. It is as beautiful and as graceful as you’d hope. Makes me wonder what took them so long. But I always think that about Muji and maybe that’s the key to their success. Not following trends or being driven by the same short term goals as everyone else. Imagine Muji as a pace layer.\n39. Frustratingly light article by the Guardian on the cover design of 2018’s must talked about book - Fire and Fury. The boring cover design does seem odd given the magazine covers Trump has inspired. Political books are supposed to look kinda boring… but this is not a business-as-usual presidency. Deserves a longer article.\nWhy is the cover of Fire and Fury so ugly?\n40. Digital banking consultancy 11FS gave out their awards for 2017. 11FS are smart and have worked in proper digital banking so it makes interesting reading. Lots of good stuff and not a surprise to see BBVA “win” Best incumbent bank. Derek White and Rob Brown have built an impressive design team just like they did at Barclays (where they worked with some of 11FS.) BBVA we’ve talked about before in para 21 "BBVA has 150 designers in 11 countries, all with different specialties, not that unusual but they are also training 1000 design ambassadors."\nBut, the most interesting bit? Google Tez a Google payment layer for banking in India.\n41. Fast Company wrote an “update” of Dieter Rams 10 Principles of Good Design. Some good stuff in there and it’s nearly worth a read except - beware, it's one of those annoying web pages where everything moves around for five minutes before you can start reading.\n42. Here are the Top 10 Asymmetric planes.\nIf that doesn’t scare ad world, nothing will. |

To provide an optional fast-track procedure the President may use when submitting rescission requests, and for other purposes.\nReduce Unnecessary Spending Act of 2010 - Amends the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (ICA) to require the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to transmit, within 45 days of a congressional session after the enactment of the funding in question, a message to Congress with specified information requesting any rescission the President proposes under the procedures in this Act. Prescribes requirements for timing and packaging of rescission requests. Authorizes OMB, subject to a specified time limit, to withhold funding from obligation temporarily if the President proposes a rescission. Prohibits the President from invoking such expedited procedures or such authority to withhold funding on more than one occasion for any Act providing funding. Sets forth procedures for expedited congressional consideration of proposed rescissions. States that, if budget authority or funding is rescinded under the ICA, the amount so rescinded shall revert to the fund whence it came (general fund, trust fund, special fund, revolving fund, and so on as applicable), except to the extent legislation specifies otherwise. |
Epidural: Medication is delivered into the lower back, causing some loss of feeling, but allows the mother to continue to bear down and push her baby through the birth canal.\nSpinal Block: Spinal blocks are administered as a shot into the fluid around the spinal cord. They work quickly to relieve pain, but last only an hour or two. Spinal blocks are often used for Caesarean sections.\nSystemic Opioids: Systemic opioids (a type of narcotic) are given as a shot or intravenously (IV), and bring about a calming effect.\nLocal or Regional Anesthesia: Local anesthesia provides pain relief to a small area of the body, like the perineum. Regional anesthesia provides pain relief to a larger area, such as everything below the waist.\nOne pain relief method that is not common in the United States, but is popular in Europe and other countries with high standards for safe childbirth, is nitrous oxide (N2O). It is usually delivered as 50% nitrous oxide (N2O) mixed with 50% oxygen (O2). In the U.S., nitrous oxide, commonly called laughing gas, typically is associated with dental procedures. Nitrous oxide has become more readily available as a safe and effective method of pain management during labor and delivery.\nIt is less potent than other analgesics like epidural blocks, but more effective than many systemic opioids.\nIt is simple to self-administer and works quickly to provide pain relief. After a brief explanation, the mother can administer N2O to herself through a facemask, which allows her to time the amount and frequency she receives with her contractions.\nN2O can be used during all stages of labor, as well as in some postpartum procedures like perineal repair.\nN2O is safe and effective for the mother and her baby. A long track record of safe outcomes for mothers and babies in the United Kingdom and other countries where the use of N2O is prevalent.\nN2O does not require increased monitoring of the mother or child, and is not associated with an increased risk of complications for either.\nN2O has no impact on the ability to breastfeed immediately after birth.\nN2O can be discontinued quickly and easily if another pain relief method is desired. The effects of N2O dissipate within about five minutes after discontinuing its use.\nN2O is significantly less expensive than other pain relief methods.\nAn occupational health risk to female healthcare providers, including nurses and midwives, who may have some adverse effect to their reproductive system, including increased difficulty becoming pregnant and increased risk of spontaneous miscarriage.\nThose with certain medical disorders are at increased risk of adverse effects from exposure to nitrous oxide, including those with vitamin B12 deficiency disorder, pernicious anemia, Crohn's disease, Ileal disease, chronic malnutrition due to alcoholism or pregnant women who are strict vegans, chronic N2O drug abusers, and surgical patients who receive high doses of N20 anesthesia (not analgesia) for more than six hours.\nHigh-risk groups with these medical conditions can be treated with vitamins to lower the risk of adverse effects from N2O exposure.\nProper ventilation is key to preventing adverse outcomes and most modern facilities have precautions in place to help monitor and protect their healthcare workers from excess exposure to N2O.\nTeaching mothers to exhale into the facemask also helps prevent off-gases from entering the surrounding environment.\nCommonly used in Australia, Canada, Finland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, nitrous oxide is a safe, viable option for pain relief during childbirth. Long-term research supports its effectiveness, safety for the mother and her baby, and unique benefits as an analgesic. Just as important, nitrous oxide empowers mothers by giving them an option to take the edge off of the pain while allowing them to control when and how much of the gas they receive.\nIn addition, N2O is a lower cost alternative to many pain management options, which may be especially significant to those without insurance or in lower income areas of the country. The American College of Nurse-Midwives takes the position that, “The experience of labor pain differs among women, and the response to pain is highly individual. Women should have access to a variety of approaches to promote comfort and reduce pain throughout labor...” The use of N2O in labor and delivery departments throughout the United States should be evaluated, and certified nurse-midwives and certified midwives should be trained to administer and oversee the safe use of N2O during labor. While no method is foolproof, nitrous oxide should be made readily available to American women as one option for pain relief during childbirth.\nIf you have any questions about the use of Nitrous Oxide, pain management during childbirth, or are looking for a new women's health provider, contact Dr. Thomas Zarka of Women's Health Associates of Derry at (603) 421-2526, or click the link below to schedule an appointment. |

Art connoisseurs and Hollywood A-listers came out in force for the Art Los Angeles Contemporary on Thursday. View our gallery of the Calvin Klein after-party, including Kate Bosworth, Penelope Cruz, and Jared Leto.\nThe Academy Awards may be around the corner, but on Thursday night, Hollywood paused to focus on something else: art. At the Art Los Angeles Contemporary—L.A.'s answer to Miami's Art Basel—art lovers and A-listers strolled around the Pacific Design Center to peruse art from local dealers and international galleries.\nThe crowd then hopped across Melrose Avenue to a three-storey party hosted by Calvin Klein, where the designer's diaphanous clothes hung next to flickering video installations by Jennifer West. But not all in attendance were thinking about art. Actress Kate Bosworth, who traversed the building's packed roof to squeeze into the bar, admitted she hadn't been to the fair. "I'm learning about art," she told The Daily Beast. "I'm kind of an impulsive person, so it's good to learn about it from people." And when it comes to the Oscars, Bosworth sighed. "I don't know if I'll go," she said, explaining that she's busy at work on Lost Girls and Love Hotels, for which she'll soon have to travel to Tokyo to film. "I'm just working on this new project. It's really close to my heart."\nAnd she's not the only one who'll be jetting to film on location: Greg Kinnear says he's off to Minneapolis, where he's filming The Convincer, a dark comedy with Alan Arkin and Billy Crudup. "It's going to be cold," he said. "Wish me luck!" And when asked about the Oscar race for Best Picture, Kinnear took a minute to think: "It's really up in the air," he said. "Up in the air… and Up in the Air." |

It's fading, in my eyes.\nI'm losing sometimes in my life.\nand it's growing in my soul. |
Podcasting has crossed into the mainstream. Local radio is still king of the car. More than one-quarter of Americans now own a smart speaker. These are just some of the headlines from the anticipated 2019 Infinite Dial report from Edison Research and Triton Digital, which has become one of the audio industry’s biggest research events of the year.\nWe’ve been saying podcasting is booming and now we know just how big it is.\nAbout half of all Americans have ever listened to a podcast, one-third have listened at least once a month and nearly one-quarter stream a show weekly. “Make no mistake, this is podcasting crossing into the majority,” noted Tom Webster, senior VP for Edison Research. On average, Americans are listening to seven podcasts per week. Year-over-year, podcasting is showing impressive gains, adding 17 million more monthly listeners and 14 million weekly listeners over 2018.\nDespite more in-car media choices than ever, drivers are still devoted to AM/FM radio.\nAmong all audio options, about half of drivers (51%) say they use AM/FM radio the most while driving, followed by owned music (15%); SiriusXM (15%); online audio (12%); and podcasts (4%). In the last two years, local radio’s share has dropped slightly, while online audio and podcasting make gains. Since change in the car happens slowly (people don’t buy new cars that often), radio is in position to maintain its lead for the foreseeable future. And broadcasters are likely growing their in-car digital listening as well. In the report, AM/FM station live streams are included in the online audio category, so gains in that category should benefit radio, as will increases in podcast listening.\nSmart speakers are quickly becoming the new digital radio and users are buying multiple devices.\nIn 2019, about one-quarter of Americans, or 65 million people, now own a smart speaker, and half of those households have two or more devices, including 24% who have three or more. Amazon’s Alexa is still the market leader, followed by Google Home. Other studies have shown that many smart speaker owners use them to listen to music and access local radio, indicating these devices are becoming the new in-home radio.\nSocial media usage is stagnating and Facebook is fading, particularly with younger demos.\nWhile 223 million Americans use social media, their ranks haven’t grown much in the last few years. Part of the reason for that stagnation is that fewer Americans are using Facebook, the largest social media network, and that’s particularly true for younger adults. While Facebook remains the number one social channel with 61% of Americans 12+ using the network, it’s down from its peak of 67% in 2017, which equals 15 million fewer users. Among 12 to 34-year-olds, Facebook usage dropped from 72% in 2017 to 62% this year, which translates to 17 million fewer users in the demo. At the same time, Instagram has made gains with younger users and is their no. 2 social channel, while Snapchat has been a strong third-place finisher.\nOnline audio listening continues to grow and that creates opportunities for radio stations as well.\nA record 189 million Americans are listening to online audio monthly, which includes AM/FM stations online streams and pure play services like Pandora or Spotify, and 169 million listens weekly. These users are listening for an average of 16 hours and 43 minutes per week. As more users turn to digital streaming and increase their time spent with audio, radio stations have new opportunities to connect through websites, mobile apps and podcasts, and grow their listening and ad revenue.\nWith so much positive momentum behind the audio industry, radio broadcasters are in a prime position to grow their digital assets, as well as over-the-air listening. When you put the two together, as we do here at Federated Media, the possibilities for our listeners, our stations and our clients look better than ever.\nFor more information on the 2019 Infinite Dial study, you can watch the replay of the presentation or download the slides. |
Celtic star Leigh Griffiths has penned a new deal which will keep him with the Ladbrokes champions until 2022.\nThe Scotland international recently reached 100 goals for the club with a strike against Lithuanian side FK Suduva and signed the four-year contract after extensive talks with the club.\n“I’m over the moon,” he told Celtic TV. “It’s been a long time coming, talks have been ongoing for a while and I’m glad to get it over the line.\n“The main aim is to be here for as long as I can, and for Celtic to have shown that faith in me to sign me for another four years makes me ecstatic.\n“From the moment I walked in the door here, this is where I wanted to be for the rest of my life. I’ve been here for three-and-a-half years already and to sign another four-year deal is great. I can’t wait for the future.\nThe 28-year-old has now set his sights on further cementing his place in Celtic folklore by helping the team to win ten successive league titles.\nHe said: “I’m here for the 10-in-a-row bid, but my main focus now is trying to get in the team and stay as fit as possible. I’ve hit the 100 now and I want to try and continue that and aim for greater heights.\n“There’s been a lot of high and some lows, but more highs than lows. Hopefully there’s more highs to come. |

Of all the rooms in the house, the bathroom is the one that most rewards your attention. You can add value to your home with a thoughtful – and far from bank busting – restoration, you can decorate it to perfectly fit your personality, and with the right appliances, accessories and products, turn it into a haven of relaxation for you and your whole family.\nToday we’re putting our focus on the bathroom, so you can start to build a room that’s the heart of your home, not merely a functional closet.\nIf you’re decorating your bathroom, you need to think: is this for you? Is this to put a few thousand pounds on the bottom line for your house if need to sell? Or is it to make it suitable for tenants, when you rent your house out.\nIf it’s for when you sell or rent your house, you have a relatively clear cut job: focus on making it function, tackling damp, and ensuring adequate ventilation. It’s more important to have a plain looking shower that works properly than something ornate that’s not reliable.\nOn the other hand, if you’re redecorating for yourself, you can really pull the stops out, and stamp your particular style on the room. Think hard about it: this is a room you’ll really need to relax in, whether you’re bathing, shaving or merely brushing your teeth.\nWhatever your needs, whether you want Edwardian bath taps to immerse yourself in classic luxury as you immerse yourself in hot water or a more modern look, emphasising natural light.\nCreating the full bathroom experience of your dreams is only helped along by getting hold of the perfect array of bathroom accessories. Once you’ve got your main decorations and fittings in place you can acquire the accessories to round out the look, from soap dishes and toothbrush holders to shaving mirrors.\nOne thing it’s really worth investing is a luxurious set of towels: a design that matches the décor means your bath isn’t going to be interrupted by a disharmonious clash, and there’s no experience like going from a hot bath to a warm, fluffy towel to relax you and help you unwind.\nThere are so many different bathing products it can be difficult to make a choice: from simple bubble baths, to bath bombs, and scented oils.\nThere’s no single right answer, just the one that’s right for you, so do a bit of experimentation and build a library of bath products for every occasion. Lavender scented oil is good for relaxation at the end of the day while peppermint and eucalyptus scents are better for an energising wash when you need a boost! |

By December I'd typed out an adaptation of "Macbeth" and felt relief at ending my procrastination. The satisfaction was great because it appeared that by using a combination of Shakespeare's text and Lois Burdett's version of the play from her series, Shakespeare Can Be Fun!, I'd come up with a doable twenty-one page play.\nMy equilibrium unraveled when we started to read the play aloud and I realized the magnitude of the undertaking. This was as ambitious as Lord and Lady Macbeth's own dream of royalty. I gulped as the kids struggled to read the unfamiliar.\n"Okay, let's stop for just a second. Here's a funny word: Thane. We have just learned that Macbeth is Thane of Glamis and that King Duncan is going to make him Thane of Cawdor. I wonder what a Thane is?"\n"Mmmm. Good guess but not exactly....Let's say you were the king, Oliver, and you wanted to make Chloe a Thane. If we were in England a Thane would be a Duke. In Scotland they used the word Thane. So, let's say Chloe is Thane of our school and you decided to give her all the land in Venice. That would make Chloe Thane of Venice."\nIt would take many, many meetings to remember what a Thane is. Have I asked too much this time around? Are my expectations too high? I have to remind myself that these are little kids. Can we do a play like this? What makes theatre anyway?\nWay back in my New York City days I experienced theatre as a gift to an audience. Previous to my moving to the city and for years after leaving, I had great theatre experiences in well-equipped venues where the actors were beautifully costumed but there was this one freebie that sticks out as a special event.\nI was friends with a young, Yale-educated director who wanted to stage a one-act, two-hander play, "The Great Nebula in Orion", by Lanford Wilson. The director, another actress and I rehearsed for weeks. The play took place in a New York City apartment and involved the reacquaintance of two former college roommates. We staged our production in the director's Upper West Side apartment. We invited guests and offered pre-show cocktails. The audience sat at one end of the living room and we entered through a real door, into a real home, in need of a real bathroom and using a real kitchen to make our drinks. At the end of the performance we served our audience a dinner of chili, salad, wine and dessert. It was free. It was a gift. It was wondrous.\nDown the line in May, these kids will also give a gift and, I hope, have as gratifying an experience as I did in New York City, if I have not raised the bar too high. Because it can happen anytime, anywhere, with the right intentions and a load of effort. A ****load of effort. Oh my.\nIf I was an Elizabethan girl my life would of been very educated. I would of been a princess. I would study as hard as I can. I'd wear beautiful silk dresses. In the palace I'd eat a salad with many mini "love apples." I'd enjoy being a princess getting an educated very wealthy and healthy. Having many beautiful silk dresses. Of courses I'd go to William Shakespeare's plays hundreds and hundreds of times. My favorite play would be "Romeo and Juliet." Then I'd be Queen . I'd also have my own lovely horse. |

There was a minor kerfuffle in recent days over claims by Tim Flannery (author of “The Weather Makers”) that new information from the upcoming IPCC synthesis report will show that we have reached 455 ppmv CO2_equivalent 10 years ahead of schedule, with predictable implications. This is confused and incorrect, but the definitions of CO2_e, why one would use it and what the relevant level is, are all highly uncertain in many peoples’ minds. So here is a quick rundown.\nwhere CO2_orig is the 1750 concentration (278 ppmv).\nUsage: There are two main ways it is used. Firstly, it is often used to group together all the forcings from the Kyoto greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O and CFCs), and secondly to group together all forcings (including ozone, sulphate aerosols, black carbon etc.). The first is simply a convenience, but the second is what matters to the planet. Many stabilisation scenarios, such as are being discussed in UNFCCC negotiations are based on stabilising total CO2_e at 450, 550 or 750 ppmv.\nMagnitude The values of CO2_e (Kyoto) and CO2_e (Total) can be calculated from Figure 2.21 and Table 2.12 in the IPCC WG1 Chapter 2. The forcing for CO2, CH4 (including indirect effects), N2O and CFCs is 1.66+0.48+0.07+0.16+0.34=2.71 W/m2 (with around 0.3 W/m2 uncertainty). Using the formula above, that gives CO2_e (Kyoto) = 460 ppmv. However, including all the forcings (some of which are negative), you get a net forcing of around 1.6 W/m2, and a CO2_e (Total) of 375 ppmv with quite a wide error bar. This is, coincidently, close to the actual CO2 level.\nImplications The important number is CO2_e (Total) which is around 375 ppmv. Stabilisation scenarios of 450 ppmv or 550 ppmv are therefore still within reach. Claims that we have passed the first target are simply incorrect, however, that is not to say they are easily achievable. It is even more of a stretch to state that we have all of a sudden gone past the ‘dangerous’ level. It is still not clear what that level is, but if you take a conventional 450 ppmv CO2_e value (which will lead to a net equilibrium warming of ~ 2 deg C above pre-industrial levels), we are still a number of years from that, and we have (probably) not yet committed ourselves to reaching it.\nFinally, the IPCC synthesis report is simply a concise summary of the three separate reports that have already come out. It therefore can’t be significantly different from what is already available. But this is another example where people are quoting from draft reports that they have neither properly read nor understood and for which better informed opinion is not immediately available. I wish journalists and editors would resist the temptation to jump on leaks like this (though I know it’s hard). The situation is confusing enough without adding to it unintentionally.\nThanks for clarifying this term Gavin. Your explanation covers usage of CO2-e for atmospheric concentrations, which is what Tim Flannery was talking about, but it would probably be useful to explain its usage for emissions as well.\nAs I understand it, when referring to greenhouse gas emissions, “carbon dioxide equivalent” refers to the amount of carbon dioxide that would give the same warming effect as the effect of the greenhouse gas or greenhouse gases being emitted. It is normally used when attributing aggregate emissions from a particular source over a specified timeframe. It is used in this way at national and international levels to account for greenhouse emissions and reductions over time. Importantly, Article 3 of the Kyoto Protocol states targets for emissions reductions in terms of “aggregate anthropogenic carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of the greenhouse gases listed in Annex A.” [Annex A lists six gases: carbon dioxide (CO2); methane (CH4); nitrous oxide (N2O); hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs); perfluorocarbons (PFCs); and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)].\nUsing this approach, for example, Australia’s net greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors in 2004 totalled 564.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (see http://www.greenhouse.gov.au/inventory/2004/pubs/inventory2004.pdf).The expected carbon dioxide equivalent emissions from burning different fuels can also be calculated using a standard methodology (see e.g. http://www.greenhouse.gov.au/workbook/pubs/workbook2006.pdf).\nAlso, it may be a useful point of clarification to note that some authors and inventories refer to “carbon equivalents” when discussing quantities or atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. Figures for “carbon equivalents” can be converted to “carbon dioxide equivalents” by multiplying by 44/12 to take account of the different molecular weights. The IPCC guidelines use “carbon dioxide equivalents” for GHG but “carbon equivalents” is more meaningful than “carbon dioxide equivalents” when discussing the amount of carbon stored in fossil fuels and sinks such as the deep ocean where the carbon is not in gaseous form.\nI am not a climate scientist so could you please clarify whether my understanding is correct?\nI don’t yet comprehend how the ‘dangerous’ level can be set so high.\nMy reasons are solely based on the Eemian intergalcial (Termination II), about 134 kya. At that time it seems that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere peaked at about 292 ppmv (Vostok Ice Core analysis only, average of the three studies on the NOAA Paleoclimatology site). During the Eemian the sea high stand was about 4 meters higher than today’s sea stand.\nI conclude that, roughly, any concentration greater than about 280 ppmv eventually leads to sea stand rise, hence we are currently in peril of eventually seeing quite a substantial sea stand rise. If so, that will be quite a calamity, even if it takes centuries to reach the highest stand.\nGavin, for the total forcing how do they get the 5.35 number? I’ve seen various number up to 6.2 (ie http://www.ace.mmu.ac.uk/Resources/gcc/6-5-3.html) or is it just observation?\nNot so sure we haven’t commited ourselves to 450 ppmv- anything lower seems entirely unreasonable from a common sense point on how things are moving along. Also would be hard to define “dangerous” levels- to some we already hit that point, but I think ~2 C warming is the beginning of where “alarming ” is. Of concern now seems to be how feedbacks will react and give us more CO2 or more warming- we’ve gotten more humid from the water vapor feedback from the latest Willett et al (Nature) paper, the decline of CO2 sinks (Le Quere et al 2007). Looks like aerosols will mitigate some warming, but I suspect that even those would decline as we get “cleaner” which ironically could give us more warming.\nThanks for covering this. I’ve seen the statement by Flannery used in several places so far.\nJust to clarify – does mean that the ‘danger level’ is 455ppmv CO2_e (total) rather than 455ppmv CO2_e (Kyoto)?\nSorry, I can’t follow the technical explanation too well. Are you saying that Tim Flannery has made incorrect claims that we are ahead of the predicted schedule based on his misreading of the draft report, or are you saying that the media did not accurately report what Flannery meant to say?\nThanks for giving the background to the recent statements on CO2-eq concentration, this has been raising many questions.\nIf I may add to your explanation though: The figure of 455 ppm CO2-eq comes from converting the value of 2.63 W/m^2 given in WG I Chapter 2, Table 2.12, for the total radiative forcing of “long lived greenhouse gases” to a CO2-eq concentration using the formula that you cite. In your calculation you added the indirect effects of CH4 on stratospheric water vapor but those were classed separately in the WG I report.\nWhat to include, and what not, is, as you have implied, somewhat subjective, but the fact that different radiative forcing agents have very different degrees of persistence into the future, and that the shortest lived components are negative (i.e. cause cooling) is very policy relevant. If all anthropogenic emissions stopped completely tomorrow, total radiative forcing (and warming) would increase – not decrease – due to the rapid removal of aerosols from the atmosphere and the disappearance of their cooling effect. This fact underlies the difficulty that those constructing mitigation scenarios for the 21st century have in coming up with plausible ways of avoiding a warming of 2C.\nOf course I agree fully with your final comments on those who leak material from draft IPCC reports. This is usually done inaccurately and out of context. In this case reference to the radiative forcing projections given in the Third Assessment Report shows that there is no basis for saying that long lived greenhouse gases are now 10 years ahead of the projections of a few years ago.\nI’m not sure we’re all referring to the same quantity.\nThe same report shows a 50% chance of a 2 C increase if with a 450 ppm stabilization.\nIf you’re referring to total forcings, then what is the 50% chance of a 2 C atmospheric level?\nCould you comment on how the lifetime of aerosols effects all this.\nIn particular, as I understand it a reduction in fossil fuel use will lead to a reduction in emissions of aerosols (the majority of which have a cooling affect). Aren’t the atmospheric lifetimes of these aerosols far shorter than that of the warming gases. Won’t this result in a situation where as we reduce CO2 emissions, some of the current cooling effect will be reduced, while most of the current warming effect remains?\nDoes your analysis above assume that the total cooling effects of aerosols do not decline?\nAlso, thanks for all your great work.\nThe low value of CO2eTotal is less comforting if the negative forcings arise from the same activities as the positive forcings (e.g. dirty coal combustion). Then measures that reduce CO2 emissions or clean up local air pollution reduce the masking effects on a short time scale, while long-lived gases remain in the atmosphere, so that CO2e would rise rapidly. This effect would seem to make the headroom between 375 and 450 somewhat illusory.\nData quality analysis as reported in IPCC WG1 Chapter 2 is not adequate for risk assement data used for decisions affecting large populations. In risk analysis, we are not talking about the fate of clouds, we are talking about the fate of people. We need data of known quality! Data with “wide error bars” does not qualify. At the very least, we need a numerical estimate of how wide those error bars are. That number is not in the text, I do not see a protocol for calculating such a number, or the raw data that could be used in such a calculation. I was on the ASTM Technical Committee for Data Quality for Human Health Risk Assessment. I know that numerical estimates of data quality are not easy. Worse, I know what a blow to the ego such an analysis can be, But, this site is not about “easy”. This site is about honest and correct.\nIf we do not have good estimates of the error bars, then we need to apply safety factors; as we did when we started doing human health risk assessments of National Priority List hazardous waste sites. Put in a safety factor, and 375 might well become the new 450. Certainly, Gavin might not like that when it is first presented to him. But, if we are considering something that affects 6 billion people, then being only 99.9999% certain says that we do not care about an event that kills three times more people than 911. If we are only 99% certain then, we can expect 70,000,000 to die as a result of our ignorance. How many people’s lives are we willing to lose because we did not do our homework on data quality?\nI guess this has to be clarified. Was Flannery talking about forcing or greenhouse gas concentration? I think it was the latter. If that’s the case, as people at the Hadley Center have shown, we are already at a concentration of over 450ppm of carbon dioxide equivalents, which is dangerous. Yes, you have aerosols and other factors, but we have no clue how much of a cooling effect they’re actually having. We also know that they will probably be gone in the next 10-20 years. After that happens, the full forcing of greenhouse gases currently in the atmosphere will show, pushing us beyond 2C. It’s also important to mention that we have a 50% chance of avoiding 2C if we keep concentrations (of greenhouse gases minus the cooling) at current levels. Because of keeping these things out of discussion, people are setting absolutely wrong targets (i.e. halving world emissions by 2050).\nGold standard work as ever Gavin. I think the fact that this level is within reach is disturbing enough under any scenario, but the damage occurs when AGW realists like Flannery who is already pilloried by the usual suspects, reach too far beyond the data.\nI think the IPCC estimates are biased conservatively, as usually is the case in science, but journalistic hyperbole does the issue a great disservice and makes weakens the effort to turn this thing around. We don’t need that.\nHolly, I think the problem is the journalists have no one to verify any claims that their source is quoting from a discussion draft. The people who do know what’s in the drafts and comments have promised not to leak them.\nThe last round there was a lot of stuff in the press that didn’t turn out to be right.\nI’d really appreciate a comment of Gavin in the light of contributions #9, 10, 11 and 12. As Gavin himself stated in his response to contribution #1: GWP calculation for specific time horizonts is good for long lived GHGs but breaks down for short-lived species (e.g. aerosols).\n– how easily you can achieve a (not even intentional) distortion of research results into facts without proper context, with all the possibly disastrous impact on the broader public.\n2.) I’d really appreciate a similar assessment of ‘thawing permafrost’ or ‘melting’ in general.\nSeveral times I stumbled over the assertion, that there are no surprises to expect from thawing permafrost or, recently, accelerated melting in Greenland as well as in Antartica.\nAt least, those Dansgaard-Oeschger events did happen. And the record minimum arctic sea ice this year definitely shows what is meant by ‘highly nonlinear behaviour’. So I am curious why permafrost thawing should not involve some nasty surprises.\nWhat is the forcing for C02 without any knock on effects such as increased water vapour?\nGood article, but one fact that I think is missing is the choice of time horizon for the Global Warming Potentials (GWP) and the consequences for the calculation of CO2 equivalent emissions.\nIPCC reporting obligations still require the use of the older IPCC Second Assessment Report (SAR) 100-year horizon GWP for national inventories, defining a quasi “standard” for comparable CO2 equivalent emissions / total greenhouse gas emissions.\nBut IPCC papers such as WG1 Chapter 2 (link in the original article, table 2.14, page 212) give different GWP for 20, 100(!) and 500 year horizons alongside the 100 year SAR values, making it hard for laymen (and even experts, sometimes) to find out which GWP to use for calculations.\nCongrats Al Gore and IPCC!\n… another bloody yank is walking away with the Nobel Peace Prize.\nCongratulations to the IPCC and to Al Gore!\nBut a lot of the “negative” radiative forcing components have atmospheric residence lifetimes of ~week, so are irrelevant to a discussion of CO2_e levels in terms of reaching a stabilisation target.\nCongrats on winning the Nobel peace prize to Al Gore, the IPCC, and all of you folks that have contributed towards the research and the reports. AGW-naysayers will sooner or later run out of their excuses.\nMixing sulphates and CO2 in CO2_e(total)?\nDon’t they have vastly different time constants of how long they stay present in the atmosphere?\nResponse to #24 – I accept that. On a narrow point of what the instantaneous forcing is equivalent to, then, yes, you obviously have to include the short-lived aerosols.\nHowever, if we ever get to a stable level of CO2, we won’t be emitting sulphate aerosols any longer, or burning vast areas of rainforest (emitting black carbon). In the context of how close we are to various stabilisation targets, then, I think it makes sense to discount short-lived agents whose release is associated with anthropogenic sources of GHGs.\nOf course, this also means that you can have an overshoot scenario. In CO2_e terms you could go over the stabilisation target, but move back down to it by reducing levels of the shorter-lived GHGs such as CH4 and NOx. In that sense the non-CO2/CFC part of the CO2_e is not committed to the same extent. (And the fact that CO2_e(Kyoto) ~455ppmv is not quite as alarming).\nIf it helps, I’m thinking of a timescale for stabilising GHG levels by 2050.\n1. Even the food we produce and eat is not carbon-neutral, considering the huge amounts of fossil fuel used for producing fertilizers,irrigation,transportation,refrigeration,cooking, etc that go into the food production-consumption chain.\n2. Where is the carbon sink that can absorb the CO2 of other man-made consumption processes like automobiles, electricity, aeroplanes,trains, airconditioning, heating,manufacturing, mining etc. which are colossal and their effects cumulative?\n3. It appears to me that we are doomed like the mythical ICARUS whose wax-fixed wings melted as he showed off his flying before the sun. In short, no amount of fossil-fuel burning – no matter how less – is ultimately sustainable from the point of view of preventing accumulation of CO2 and waste-heat in the environment, and an eventual over-heating and melt down of the planet.\n4. Possibly, human knowledge, wisdom, compassion etc. – and a big dose of humility – may show us the path for a sustainable future, based on essential human needs and not human greeds, as Gandhi pointed out long time ago. Has anyone modelled such a future for some 10 billion humans/animals living on this earth – the life-style they can live without destroying the planet ?\nI look forward to learning on the above issues.\nFair is fair. Shouldn’t Al Gore send a thank you note to all the right-wing nutjobs who have abandoned the scientific high ground and left him standing there alone. I mean after all, without climate change (which to be fair, he was among the first to embrace), he would just be another washed up politician. Now he has an Academy Award, a Nobel Peace Prize and bookies have cut the odds on his becoming President from 10:1 to 8:1. He couldn’t have done it without the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal, Senator James Inhoff, Rush Limbaugh, The Cato Institute, Exx-Mob etc. Come on guys step up and take a bow!\nRe different time constants, I believe that is considered when calculating CO2_e.\nThanks, Gavin, for this clarification — I hadn’t checked the numbers for the Stern Review to see if they were internally consistent. Much steeper reductions would be needed to stabilize at 450 ppm if we’re already at 430 ppm, except that we’re already at 460 ppm.\nYou can see why some of us are confused.\nRE: 12 Aerosols from combustion sources will probably not be reduced to climatologically insignificant levels before 2050. That said, any forecasts need to take into account that their influence will be reduced a few percent every year. Thus, we will get to the 450ppm threshold sooner (say 2030 and not 2050) rather than later as the well mixed GHGs continue to increase in concentration. Tropospheric ozone will also decrease, helping a little bit. Due to the long lead times in developing and installing new energy sources, it is doubtful in my mind that we still have time to avoid the 450ppm level. Taking that into consideration, a prediction today that we are committed to passing a dangerous threshhold is not unreasonable.\nI pointed out the error concerning RC in Pat Michaels’ American Spectator article to him and he told me that he contacted the Spectator about it to have it corrected. So, presumably (hopefully) that will happen.\nHow good are the negative and positive forcing predictions in the emission scenarios climate modelors use? Hansen’s paper on where we are is good, but how predictable is the future? Specifically, how good are predictions about the timing of the clean up and then phase out (or beginning of CO2 sequestration) of coal fired power plants? Do the scientists involved think they have a good handle on how this will play out or is it a huge source of unpredictability in terms of future temperatures? What if this story’s actions play out in China and Russia? Do these governments have a plan they haven’t shared? Do the industries that seem to run (at times) our governments have a plan they haven’t shared? Should climate modelers be pouring over the minutes of board meetings?\n810,000 tons of pollutant reductions, 79% reduction in sulfur emissions, 69% reduction in nitrous oxides. Two opposing forcings being reduced simultaneously. Sorry, shouldn’t have had that extra cup.\nNow the mean radiative forcing since 1850 is 1.6W/m2.\nWe can say that the correspondant temp increasing is 0.8°C.\nWe can say also that there is some 0.4-05°C “in the pipe”.\nThus about 1.25°C in some decades.\nThe consecutive sensitivity is something as 0.78°C.m2/W.\nWith this sensitivity, for 450 ppm of CO2, we get a temperature increase of 2.63W/m2 * 0.78°C.m2/W = 2.06°C.\nMy problem is the “0.4-0.5°C in the pipe” which depends on oceanic thermal inertia.\nIn this perspective what do you think about the SH ocean cooling since 2003?\nIMHO, another ongoing problem with the media is the lack of verification due to budget cut-backs. No more double and triple checking. Worse, in a very competitive “what have you got now?” market designed around sound bites and 30-second info-clips, the need to be the first to run with a story is subsuming accuracy in favor of profit.\nThis is one of the reasons the climate “skeptics” are able to keep their game running.\nyou can see the difference between NH land and SH ocean.\nIn this context what do you think about this study of Russel and the influence of southern hemisphere westerly winds on the ocean mixing?\nSO, I don’t contest GHG effects, but if there is a greater oceans mixing the warming should be weaker.\nAhhh, so what is being said here is that all things considered via +ve and -ve forcings currently add up to Co2_e of 375 ppmv of net forcing. Does this mean that we need to continue polluting to soem degree or does coal do both for us anyway regardless?\nCongratulations to Al Gore and the IPCC. Well done!\nAmerican right wing talk radio is spinning up the lies and usual misinformation about Global Warming and Climate Change. Neil Boortz carried on for an hour this morning about how it’s all a lie forged by the anti-Corporatists. Meanwhile, in North Georgia there only remains about 3 months of water in most of the reservoirs. These people can’t believe their own eyes, much less scientists.\nI doubt it is entirely that innocent. If you know any journalists at all, then you are fully aware that advocacy reporting is the purposeful objective of many.\nVery strange bedfellows. If Richard Lindzen, Pat Michaels and John Christy served on the IPCC at one time or another, then aren’t they also being recognized along with Al Gore?\nCapitalists tend to be rational creatures. They will continue to ignore reality as long as it is profitable. As long as those royalty checks from Exx-Mob. keep roling in, they can save up to buy the house on the hill and they don’t need to worry if the rest of the town floods. I think it is important for them to realize that they have handed a very powerful issue to their political enemies. It’s gotten their nemesis Al Gore an Oscar and now a Nobel Prize. Bookies have reduced his odds of becoming president from 10:1 to 8:1. The Truth is a powerful weapon even when it is inconvenient.\nCan someone read through this article regarding CO2 future emissions and what cuts are required to see if it is of merit.\nI am not scientific and I am one of those you are trying to convince. But when you (and others) use language like that (or find it necessary to whitewash or deny tenure to disagreeing colleagues) I tend to wonder whether you fear your view is indefensible.\nThe anti’s include reports from the many scientists, including from Canada and Europe, (your colleagues) that point out logical discrepancies that the “for’s” never seem to address other than by denigrating name calling. So who am I supposed to believe, the anti’s, or the name-callers?\nThe “other” viewpoint should have equal prominence in the news, and I mean equal. But it doesn’t. That fact alone raises red flags.\nThe “we must prevent the earth from warming” viewpoint predominates in the news, yet no one has ever explained to me why. I remember from elementary school how the earth once had no ice at the poles and the fossil record in northernmost land shows it was tropical, yet the earth wasn’t flooded. Why?\nNo one has explained why the current warming trend isn’t just another harmless 200-yr cycle. Do we deny cyclical warming and cooling trends?\nNo one has explained to me why the news a generation ago was constantly lamenting a cooling earth with the same fervency they now lament its warming. Were they wrong then and right now? Or wrong now and right then? Or neither?\nOn the other hand, that some slight warming has been detected I can accept, but given that, why does it follow that “man” has to do something about it? Why can’t we just live with it?\nThat is why the subject is debatable, it has nothing to do with “right-wing” which I thought was a political term (and I don’t like politics).\nGavin — Thank you for the response to my comment #2.\nVinod Gupta (28) — These topics, while interesting, are rather off-topic for Real Climate. There are many alternative sites listed in the sidebar under the heading Other Opinions. Some of those may be of more assistance to you.\nfor new developments regarding bioenergy and the relationships to clean potable water, food and animal feeds.\n“The inland ice on Greenland is vanishing much faster than scientists previously believed. This can be seen from new research results from the Danish National Space Center.\n“Each year, in the south eastern part of Greenland alone, the glaciers produce a mass of icebergs which is equivalent to a gigantic ice cube measuring 6-1/2 km on all sides. And the reduction of the inland ice is accelerating. At the moment, four times as much inland ice is disappearing compared to the beginning of the decade.\n“‘If this development continues, the melt water from the inland ice will make the world’s seas rise by more than 60 cm this century’, says senior researcher Abbas Khan of the Danish National Research Center, who was responsible for the research project. The results were obtained in co-operation with the University of Colorado and have just been published in the international research magazine Geophysical Research Letters.\nA question – Why do GWPs vary with the time scale used time constant used? Wouldn’t the radiative forcing of the molecule, multiplied by it’s average lifetime in the atmosphere, give a GWP that is independent of time (as long as the time scale is long enough)? Or is it that we’re only looking at a time frame that is much longer than average lifetime of the gases?\nVinod Gupta: #28 There are answers. 1. We all eat vegan diets, with the plant foods grown organically. 2. We get all our power from solar, wind, geothermal, waves, etc. No fossil fuels at all. This can be done. All we need to do is do it. |
