Younger Dryas Boundary
Microscopic diamonds suggest cosmic impact responsible for major period of climate change
Around 12,800 years ago, a sudden, catastrophic event plunged much of the Earth into a period of cold climatic conditions and drought. This drastic climate change-the Younger Dryas-coincided with the extinction of Pleistocene megafauna, such as the saber-tooth cats and the mastodon, and resulted in major declines in prehistoric human populations, including the termination of the Clovis culture.
With limited evidence, several rival theories have been proposed about the event that sparked this period, such as a collapse of the North American ice sheets, a major volcanic eruption, or a solar flare.
However, in a study published in The Journal of Geology, an international group of scientists analyzing existing and new evidence have determined a cosmic impact event, such as a comet or meteorite, to be the only plausible hypothesis to explain all the unusual occurrences at the onset of the Younger Dryas period.
Researchers from 21 universities in 6 countries believe the key to the mystery of the Big Freeze lies in nanodiamonds scattered across Europe, North America, and portions of South America, in a 50-million-square-kilometer area known as the Younger Dryas Boundary (YDB) field.
Microscopic nanodiamonds, melt-glass, carbon spherules, and other high-temperature materials are found in abundance throughout the YDB field, in a thin layer located only meters from the Earth's surface. Because these materials formed at temperatures in excess of 2200 degrees Celsius, the fact they are present together so near to the surface suggests they were likely created by a major extraterrestrial impact event.
In addition to providing support for the cosmic impact event hypothesis, the study also offers evidence to reject alternate hypotheses for the formation of the YDB nanodiamonds, such as by wildfires, volcanism, or meteoric flux.
The team's findings serve to settle the debate about the presence of nanodiamonds in the YDB field and challenge existing paradigms across multiple disciplines, including impact dynamics, archaeology, paleontology, limnology, and palynology.

Comet theory false; doesn't explain Ice Age cold snap, Clovis changes, animal extinction
Controversy over what sparked the Younger Dryas, a brief return to near glacial conditions at the end of the Ice Age, includes a theory that it was caused by a comet hitting the Earth.
As proof, proponents point to sediments containing deposits they believe could result only from a cosmic impact.
Now a new study disproves that theory, said archaeologist David Meltzer, Southern Methodist University, Dallas. Meltzer is lead author on the study and an expert in the Clovis culture, the peoples who lived in North America at the end of the Ice Age.
Meltzer's research team found that nearly all sediment layers purported to be from the Ice Age at 29 sites in North America and on three other continents are actually either much younger or much older.
Scientists agree that the brief episode at the end of the Ice Age – officially known as the Younger Dryas for a flower that flourished at that time – sparked widespread cooling of the Earth 12,800 years ago and that this cool period lasted for 1,000 years. But theories about the cause of this abrupt climate change are numerous. They range from changes in ocean circulation patterns caused by glacial meltwater entering the ocean to the cosmic-impact theory.
The cosmic-impact theory is said to be supported by the presence of geological indicators that are extraterrestrial in origin. However a review of the dating of the sediments at the 29 sites reported to have such indicators proves the cosmic-impact theory false, said Meltzer.
Meltzer and his co-authors found that only three of 29 sites commonly referenced to support the cosmic-impact theory actually date to the window of time for the Ice Age.
The findings, "Chronological evidence fails to support claim of an isochronous widespread layer of cosmic impact indicators dated to 12,800 years ago," were reported May 12, 2014, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Co-authors were Vance T. Holliday and D. Shane Miller, both from the University of Arizona; and Michael D. Cannon, SWCA Environmental Consultants Inc., Salt Lake City, Utah.
"The supposed impact markers are undated or significantly older or younger than 12,800 years ago," report the authors. "Either there were many more impacts than supposed, including one as recently as 5 centuries ago, or, far more likely, these are not extraterrestrial impact markers."
Dating of purported Younger Dryas sites proves unreliable
The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis rests heavily on the claim that there is a Younger Dryas boundary layer at 29 sites in the Americas and elsewhere that contains deposits of supposed extraterrestrial origin that date to a 300-year span centered on 12,800 years ago.
The deposits include magnetic grains with iridium, magnetic microspherules, charcoal, soot, carbon spherules, glass-like carbon containing nanodiamonds, and fullerenes with extraterrestrial helium, all said to result from a comet or other cosmic event hitting the Earth.
Meltzer and his colleagues tested that hypothesis by investigating the existing stratigraphic and chronological data sets reported in the published scientific literature and accepted as proof by cosmic-impact proponents, to determine if these markers dated to the onset of the Younger Dryas.
They sorted the 29 sites by the availability of radiometric or numeric ages and then the type of age control, if available, and whether the age control is secure.
The researchers found that three sites lack absolute age control: at Chobot, Alberta, the three Clovis points found lack stratigraphic context, and the majority of other diagnostic artifacts are younger than Clovis by thousands of years; at Morley, Alberta, ridges are assumed without evidence to be chronologically correlated with Ice Age hills 2,600 kilometers away; and at Paw Paw Cove, Maryland, horizontal integrity of the Clovis artifacts found is compromised, according to that site's principal archaeologist.
The remaining 26 sites have radiometric or other potential numeric ages, but only three date to the Younger Dryas boundary layer.
At eight of those sites, the ages are unrelated to the supposed Younger Dryas boundary layer, as for example at Gainey, Michigan, where extensive stratigraphic mixing of artifacts found at the site makes it impossible to know their position to the supposed Younger Dryas boundary layer. Where direct dating did occur, it's sometime after the 16th century A.D.
At Wally's Beach, Alberta, a radiocarbon age of 10,980 purportedly dates extraterrestrial impact markers from sediment in the skull of an extinct horse. In actuality, the date is from an extinct musk ox, and the fossil yielding the supposed impact markers was not dated, nor is there evidence to suggest that the fossils from Wally's Beach are all of the same age or date to the Younger Dryas onset.
At nearly a dozen other sites, the authors report, the chronological results are neither reliable nor valid as a result of significant statistical flaws in the analysis, the omission of ages from the models, and the disregard of statistical uncertainty that accompanies all radiometric dates.
For example, at Lake Cuitzeo, Mexico, Meltzer and his team used the data of previous researchers and applied a fifth-order polynomial regression, but it returned a different equation that put the cosmic-impact markers at a depth well above that which would mark the Younger Dryas onset.
The authors go on to point out that inferences about the ages of supposed Younger Dryas boundary layers are unsupported by replication in more cases than not.
In North America, the Ice Age was marked by the mass extinction of several dozen genera of large mammals, including mammoths, mastodons, American horses, Western camels, two types of deer, ancient bison, giant beaver, giant bears, sabre-toothed cats, giant bears, American cheetahs, and many other animals, as well as plants.

For the first time, a dramatic global climate shift has been linked to the impact in Quebec of an asteroid or comet, Dartmouth researchers and their colleagues report in a new study. The cataclysmic event wiped out many of the planet's large mammals and may have prompted humans to start gathering and growing some of their food rather than solely hunting big game.
The findings appear next week in the online Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. A preprint of the article is available to journalists starting Wednesday, Aug. 28, at http://www.eurekalert.org/account.php.
The impact occurred about 12,900 years ago, at the beginning of the Younger Dryas period, and marks an abrupt global change to a colder, dryer climate with far-reaching effects on both animals and humans. In North America, the big animals all vanished, including mastodons, camels, giant ground sloths and saber-toothed cats. Their human hunters, known to archaeologists as the Clovis people, set aside their heavy-duty spears and turned to a hunter-gatherer subsistence diet of roots, berries and smaller game.
"The Younger Dryas cooling impacted human history in a profound manner," says Dartmouth Professor Mukul Sharma, a co-author of the study. "Environmental stresses may also have caused Natufians in the Near East to settle down for the first time and pursue agriculture."
It is not disputed that these powerful environmental changes occurred, but there has long been controversy over their cause. The classic view of the Younger Dryas cooling interlude has been that an ice dam in the North American ice sheet ruptured, releasing a massive quantity of freshwater into the Atlantic Ocean. The sudden influx is thought to have shut down the ocean currents that move tropical water northward, resulting in the cold, dry climate of the Younger Dryas.
But Sharma and his co-authors have discovered conclusive evidence linking an extraterrestrial impact with this environmental transformation. The report focuses on spherules, or droplets of solidified molten rock expelled by the impact of a comet or meteor. The spherules in question were recovered from Younger Dryas boundary layers at sites in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the layers having been deposited at the beginning of the period. The geochemistry and mineralogy profiles of the spherules are identical to rock found in southern Quebec, where Sharma and his colleagues argue the impact took place.
"We have for the first time narrowed down the region where a Younger Dryas impact did take place," says Sharma, "even though we have not yet found its crater." There is a known impact crater in Quebec – the 4-kilometer wide Corossal crater — but based on the team's mineralogical and geochemical studies, it is not the impact source for the material found in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
People have written about many impacts in different parts of the world based on the presence of spherules. "It may well have taken multiple concurrent impacts to bring about the extensive environmental changes of the Younger Dryas," says Sharma. "However, to date no impact craters have been found and our research will help track one of them down."

Comprehensive analysis of impact spherules supports theory of cosmic impact 12,800 years ago

About 12,800 years ago when the Earth was warming and emerging from the last ice age, a dramatic and anomalous event occurred that abruptly reversed climatic conditions back to near-glacial state. According to James Kennett, UC Santa Barbara emeritus professor in earth sciences, this climate switch fundamentally — and remarkably — occurred in only one year, heralding the onset of the Younger Dryas cool episode.
The cause of this cooling has been much debated, especially because it closely coincided with the abrupt extinction of the majority of the large animals then inhabiting the Americas, as well as the disappearance of the prehistoric Clovis culture, known for its big game hunting.
"What then did cause the extinction of most of these big animals, including mammoths, mastodons, giant ground sloths, American camel and horse, and saber- toothed cats?" asked Kennett, pointing to Charles Darwin's 1845 assessment of the significance of climate change. "Did these extinctions result from human overkill, climatic change or some catastrophic event?" The long debate that has followed, Kennett noted, has recently been stimulated by a growing body of evidence in support of a theory that a major cosmic impact event was involved, a theory proposed by the scientific team that includes Kennett himself.
Now, in one of the most comprehensive related investigations ever, the group has documented a wide distribution of microspherules widely distributed in a layer over 50 million square kilometers on four continents, including North America, including Arlington Canyon on Santa Rosa Island in the Channel Islands. This layer — the Younger Dryas Boundary (YDB) layer — also contains peak abundances of other exotic materials, including nanodiamonds and other unusual forms of carbon such as fullerenes, as well as melt-glass and iridium. This new evidence in support of the cosmic impact theory appeared recently in a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences.
This cosmic impact, said Kennett, caused major environmental degradation over wide areas through numerous processes that include continent-wide wildfires and a major increase in atmospheric dust load that blocked the sun long enough to cause starvation of larger animals.
Investigating 18 sites across North America, Europe and the Middle East, Kennett and 28 colleagues from 24 institutions analyzed the spherules, tiny spheres formed by the high temperature melting of rocks and soils that then cooled or quenched rapidly in the atmosphere. The process results from enormous heat and pressures in blasts generated by the cosmic impact, somewhat similar to those produced during atomic explosions, Kennett explained.
But spherules do not form from cosmic collisions alone. Volcanic activity, lightning strikes, and coal seam fires all can create the tiny spheres. So to differentiate between impact spherules and those formed by other processes, the research team utilized scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometry on nearly 700 spherule samples collected from the YDB layer. The YDB layer also corresponds with the end of the Clovis age, and is commonly associated with other features such as an overlying "black mat" — a thin, dark carbon-rich sedimentary layer — as well as the youngest known Clovis archeological material and megafaunal remains, and abundant charcoal that indicates massive biomass burning resulting from impact.
The results, according to Kennett, are compelling. Examinations of the YDB spherules revealed that while they are consistent with the type of sediment found on the surface of the earth in their areas at the time of impact, they are geochemically dissimilar from volcanic materials. Tests on their remanent magnetism — the remaining magnetism after the removal of an electric or magnetic influence — also demonstrated that the spherules could not have formed naturally during lightning strikes.
"Because requisite formation temperatures for the impact spherules are greater than 2,200 degrees Celsius, this finding precludes all but a high temperature cosmic impact event as a natural formation mechanism for melted silica and other minerals," Kennett explained. Experiments by the group have for the first time demonstrated that silica-rich spherules can also form through high temperature incineration of plants, such as oaks, pines, and reeds, because these are known to contain biologically formed silica.
Additionally, according to the study, the surface textures of these spherules are consistent with high temperatures and high-velocity impacts, and they are often fused to other spherules. An estimated 10 million metric tons of impact spherules were deposited across nine countries in the four continents studied. However, the true breadth of the YDB strewnfield is unknown, indicating an impact of major proportions.
"Based on geochemical measurements and morphological observations, this paper offers compelling evidence to reject alternate hypotheses that YDB spherules formed by volcanic or human activity; from the ongoing natural accumulation of space dust; lightning strikes; or by slow geochemical accumulation in sediments," said Kennett.
"This evidence continues to point to a major cosmic impact as the primary cause for the tragic loss of nearly all of the remarkable American large animals that had survived the stresses of many ice age periods only to be knocked out quite recently by this catastrophic event."

Study finds new evidence supporting theory of extraterrestrial impact
This is James Kennett. - UCSB
This is James Kennett. – UCSB
An 18-member international team of researchers that includes James Kennett, professor of earth science at UC Santa Barbara, has discovered melt-glass material in a thin layer of sedimentary rock in Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Syria. According to the researchers, the material — which dates back nearly 13,000 years — was formed at temperatures of 1,700 to 2,200 degrees Celsius (3,100 to 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit), and is the result of a cosmic body impacting Earth.
These new data are the latest to strongly support the controversial Younger Dryas Boundary (YDB) hypothesis, which proposes that a cosmic impact occurred 12,900 years ago at the onset of an unusual cold climatic period called the Younger Dryas. This episode occurred at or close to the time of major extinction of the North American megafauna, including mammoths and giant ground sloths; and the disappearance of the prehistoric and widely distributed Clovis culture. The researchers' findings appear today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"These scientists have identified three contemporaneous levels more than 12,000 years ago, on two continents yielding siliceous scoria-like objects (SLO's)," said H. Richard Lane, program director of National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences, which funded the research. "SLO's are indicative of high-energy cosmic airbursts/impacts, bolstering the contention that these events induced the beginning of the Younger Dryas. That time was a major departure in biotic, human and climate history."
Morphological and geochemical evidence of the melt-glass confirms that the material is not cosmic, volcanic, or of human-made origin. "The very high temperature melt-glass appears identical to that produced in known cosmic impact events such as Meteor Crater in Arizona, and the Australasian tektite field," said Kennett.
"The melt material also matches melt-glass produced by the Trinity nuclear airburst of 1945 in Socorro, New Mexico," he continued. "The extreme temperatures required are equal to those of an atomic bomb blast, high enough to make sand melt and boil."
The material evidence supporting the YDB cosmic impact hypothesis spans three continents, and covers nearly one-third of the planet, from California to Western Europe, and into the Middle East. The discovery extends the range of evidence into Germany and Syria, the easternmost site yet identified in the northern hemisphere. The researchers have yet to identify a limit to the debris field of the impact.
"Because these three sites in North America and the Middle East are separated by 1,000 to 10,000 kilometers, there were most likely three or more major impact/airburst epicenters for the YDB impact event, likely caused by a swarm of cosmic objects that were fragments of either a meteorite or comet," said Kennett.
The PNAS paper also presents examples of recent independent research that supports the YDB cosmic impact hypothesis, and supports two independent groups that found melt-glass in the YDB layers in Arizona and Venezuela. "The results strongly refute the assertion of some critics that 'no one can replicate' the YDB evidence, or that the materials simply fell from space non-catastrophically," Kennett noted.
He added that the archaeological site in Syria where the melt-glass material was found — Abu Hureyra, in the Euphrates Valley — is one of the few sites of its kind that record the transition from nomadic hunter-gatherers to farmer-hunters who live in permanent villages. "Archeologists and anthropologists consider this area the 'birthplace of agriculture,' which occurred close to 12,900 years ago," Kennett said.
"The presence of a thick charcoal layer in the ancient village in Syria indicates a major fire associated with the melt-glass and impact spherules 12,900 years ago," he continued. "Evidence suggests that the effects on that settlement and its inhabitants would have been severe."

JUST IN: Exploded Planet Hypothesis
Source of Earth's Moon
by Mitch Battros January 10th 2016
Mitch Hurricane Ridge small
First, I am compelled to set the record straight as to who was the first to publish their scientific papers as to the source of how Earth's moon came to be. It was Dr. Tom Van Flandern who past away on the very same date (January 9th) this article was published yet 8 years prior. (see orbit)
I mention this because he was ridiculed, essentially blackballed, from the astronomical community simply because he stood firm to his convictions. No, not based on some hunch, but hard scientific research filled with countless hours of checking and re-checking his data. The only mention he received in this article was the following:
Raluca Rufu, a researcher at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and lead author of the study are not the first to propose a multiple-impact scenario. Another paper published in 1989 raised that possibility, but "no further work was done on the subject," Rufu said. "This paper is first to provide extensive calculations that we hope will stimulate others to reexamine the issue."
In 1989, Dr. Van Flandern published is paper titled "Exploded Planet Hypothesis" identifying the early nature of our solar system. I would call that more than just "another paper published in 1989". Does this latest article seem to strike a note of a personal nature? Yes it does. It is known Tom was more than just a scientist I had on my show several times, we became friends - he was more of a mentor, perhaps knowing of what I would go through as I was presenting new data supporting my Sun-Earth-Extreme Weather hypothesis.
Dr. Van Flandern's pedigree far exceeds my own, yet when he could no longer tow-the-line of his colleagues simply because he could not deny the outcome of his research. It was sometime after 1989 he became the target from the very agencies he worked with. From 1963 to 1983, Tom was the top shelf astronomer at the U.S. Naval Observatory becoming Chief of the Research Branch and later becoming Chief of the Celestial Mechanics Branch of the Nautical Almanac Office.Tom Van Flandern held memberships in the International Astronomical Union, the American Astronomical Society (and in its Divisions on Dynamical Astronomy and Planetary Sciences), and several other scientific organizations. He received second prize from the Gravity Research Foundation in 1974 and the Astronomy Award from the Washington Academy of Sciences in 2000.
And now, in an article published on Jan. 9th 2017, he is addressed as "just some another paper published in 1989 blah blah blah". They appear to have taken his research mostly known as "Exploded Planet Hypothesis" and renamed it "Multiple Impact Hypothesis". Yes, this really happened..."

Disguised as an old lady, the evil queen tricks Snow White into biting the poisoned apple. Then the Prince comes and asks the dwarfs for Snow White's dead body and her glass coffin... so he can cherish her in the Palace. While toting the coffin, the dwarfs drop her by accident - she wakes up, and lives happily ever after with the Prince. But what about the queen? See the conclusion and find out yourself!
The Evil Queen with her mirror!

I grew up playing Monopoly with my brothers. Truth be told my involvement in any given round was pretty brief. They were both older, I would trade away all the good properties…and I would be out of the game in what always seemed like minutes. To make matters worse, they had a rule that the loser always had to put the game away–so when they were done, I was left to put the pieces away. When I got older and could play with my friends, my math anxiety would usually kick in and I would never want to be the banker…but still there was some math to be done. I was a big fan of collection the railroads. When I first met my husband, I tried playing Monopoly with him. I quickly discovered he learned Monopoly from the same school as my brothers!
So when I had my kids, I determined to create a kinder and gentler Monopoly environment. We would be thoughtful and supportive….ok, so that lasted for about ten minutes. I quickly found that my kids loved the wheeling and dealing that their father and uncles enjoyed. The games were always loud…often ending in some tears (and a family meeting about feelings and good sportsmanship). I always wonder if other people play Monopoly quietly–or if that's just our family. We're pretty noisy in general.
If I look back on my Monopoly experiences, it's a wonder really why I feel fondly about the game – but I do.
So when they roll out new versions, I'm always game. Unfortunately, I haven't really loved many of the "improvements". The last few years have brought an electronic scorer–taking away the wonderful math experience of paying for properties. Whether you could always do the calculations in your head (like my friend Lisa)…or needed a little paper…this was part of the game.
This year we got Championship Edition Monopoly…it comes with a trophy –and a nameplate that can be changed as the names change. Now I don't know about you–but in any of the houses I grew up in, this is just asking for a dispute. Even if your kids can share the title, I also really don't like the score pad where you tally up the value of your properties. I much prefer looking at what you have and adding it up…the score pad complicates the whole experience.
For 2010, Hasbro is rolling out two new versions. One is Monopoly Revolution Edition ($34.99, available for fall 2010) – You'll see that the game board is now round and looks ever so Apple-like. The round electronic game unit keeps track of where you are on the board and promises to have song clips including "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang and "Drive My Car" by The Beatles. Ok, this may be fun–but it's not really Monopoly. Keeping an open mind though.
Then there's Monopoly U-Build ($19.99, available for fall 2010)…here you'll notice you are building your own board. This version inspired by the original looked like it could be fun. The big selling point to parents is that the size of the board that you build will determine the length of your game play – so if you only have 30 minutes to play, you can customize the board accordingly…that's a fun concept.

It is widely held that social and economic marginalization drive the HIV epidemic around the world. Jonathan Mann, the founding director of World Health Organization Global Programme on AIDS, introduced this point in 1996 when he argued that those people who were marginalized before HIV arrived became those at the highest risk of HIV infection after the epidemic began.
Studies consistently show that low income, unemployment, food insecurity and lack of access to education and health care, among other factors, increase vulnerability to HIV. As an HIV professional, I often wonder: How can we take seriously the challenge of effecting the social and economic change necessary to alter the course of the HIV epidemic?
This question was at the center of my mind when I planned my schedule for the XIX International AIDS Conference in Washington, D.C., in July 2012. I was pleased to see that a number of sessions would directly address the "social and structural determinants of HIV" and that the profile of this issue had finally gained mainstream attention.
In "Poverty Reduction and Risk Among Key Populations," interesting new evidence was presented tying low income to high HIV prevalence, and food insecurity to initiation of sex work and infection with HIV. During the discussion that followed the research presentations, I asked the panel how their research had informed policy and practice. James Hargreaves, Ph.D., senior lecturer at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said that it can be difficult to translate social epidemiology into practice.
In "Eliminating HIV Infections by Targeting Inequalities: Addressing Social Determinants of HIV Disparities," panelists discussed a range of key issues, including gender inequality and the impact of poverty, lack of education and income inequality on women's vulnerability to HIV; the spread of the HIV epidemic in contexts shaped by legacies of disenfranchisement and social upheaval; and the roles of stigma, discrimination and criminalization in increasing vulnerability to HIV. But solutions offered were vague, suggesting only that actions be focused on the structural level (what actions?) and that multi-sector, multidisciplinary approaches to prevention are needed (what approaches?).
In every case, I was disappointed to find that discussion focused more on describing the problem than identifying solutions.
The question of how we effect system-level change follows me as I consider how I want to move my career forward. In the past, I have worked on socioeconomic approaches to HIV programming, but in every case, these approaches are aimed at lessening the impact of socioeconomic disparity on people living with HIV rather than addressing those disparities at their root as a prevention strategy.
Whether I devote my time to expanding social protection frameworks, livelihood opportunities or social support programs for people living with HIV, the conditions that drive the HIV epidemic -- unequal access to income, education, health care, food and sanitation -- will continue to be reproduced within our societies. Now that we agree on the problem, let's move forward and develop concrete strategies for creating real social and economic change.

"We never talk anymore" is no longer just the refrain of nagging mothers: People are dropping the traditional voice call in favor of texting and messaging. But experts say there are still some phone calls that can't — or shouldn't — be avoided.
Voice minutes are in such decline that wireless carriers are considering switching to unlimited plans to keep revenue up, The Wall Street Journal reports. And data shows they have reason to worry: the average length of a local call has fallen more than 50% over the last decade to around 1.8 minutes, according CTIA-The Wireless Association. The only time certain people bring the phone to their ear may be to avoid talking to those around them, studies show. Some 13% of people in a Pew Research Center survey said they actually pretend to be on their phones in order to avoid "unwanted personal interactions." "Nobody calls me anymore," says Vicky Oliver, social commentator and author of The Millionaire's Handbook. "Honestly, these days I'm sometimes happy to get calls from telemarketers."
- Audio: Quentin Fottrell discusses (over the phone) the phone calls you still need to make — with The Wall Street Journal This Morning's Gordon Deal
Instead, adults have joined the ranks of teenagers and now let their thumbs do the talking. One-in-three Americans said they'd rather text than call, according to a 2011 study by Pew Research Center. In fact, the survey found that Americans send an average of 41 texts a day – with those aged 19-25 sending an average of 110 texts a day. Wolfgang Luckmann, a Yulee, Fla.-based acupuncturist, treats patients with "thenar tendinitis," an inflammation of tissues in the thumb mainly due to incessant texting: "In the old days, people had neck spasms from talking on the phone. Now, they're getting this."
Some experts say it's often in our psychological, social or financial interest to make an old fashioned call. Social networks have taken the small talk out of conversations, says Todd Day, industry analyst for Frost & Sullivan. But sometimes the mouth is mightier than the thumb. People used to deliver good news by phone, Day says. These days, they're just as likely to brag about their kids in a Facebook status update. Why? It reaches people and it's less time-consuming, he says. That said, regular phone calls sometimes save time. "In a four-minute conversation you can resolve a problem, save your time and your thumbs," says Susan RoAne, author of "Face to Face: How to Reclaim the Personal Touch in a Digital World."
Emergency calls to 911 aside, here are five scenarios when it's still better to pick up the phone.

The homes in this region are particularly special. Born from an effort to protect the endangered snow leopard amongst other conservation aims, the Homestay experience here brings home convincingly the interdependence of man and nature.
Most homes in the Hemis National Park, Sham or Zanskar valley region can be reached by a few hours road journey from Leh. A short trek is required before you reach some of these remote Homestay. The mud and wood Homestays nestled in gorgeous valleys overlook small terraced fields.
The homeownersâ daily duties include herding and farming. From milking the demo (the female yak) to washing and roasting freshly harvested barley, guests are encouraged to take part in various activities. Cut off from the continuous rumblings of modern life - houses here are powered by solar energy - time here keeps a different pace. The brilliantly clear night skies reveal the milky way sprawled in all its glory.
Midas can be harsh, so good sunscreen is just as essential as a hardy wind-cheater before you head out to the high pastures above the Ulle village or to ancient Buddhist caves.
For wildlife lovers, there is a great variety of birds and animals to spot. Bharals or "blue sheep", the ibex and the Tibetans wild ass are easy to find but to spot the Snow Leopard, will however take prior planning and need patience and the expertise of local guides.
Amenities are basic. The homes also use the traditional, eco -friendly, extremely hygienic dry compost toilets. Community solar heated showers are available in the Homestays. Blankets and traditional butter tea will keep you warm. Mild on spices, Ladakhi cuisine consists of soft barley breads, rice, steamed dough balls and soups often filled with noodles and vegetables.
Most hosts speak Hindi and the local dialect, but your guide can help you communicate with your hosts. But going for most guest communication is easily achieved with a smile and a few sign languages.

Placerville woman dies after snow bridge collapses in Cottonwood Lakes area
A 65-year-old Placerville woman died June 23 after trying to lead her horse across a snow bridge in the Cottonwood Lakes Wilderness area southwest of Lone Pine.
Deborah Behrendt died after a snow bridge gave way as she was trying to lead her horse across it, according to the Inyo County Sheriff's Department. A snow bridge forms across streams or small rivulets durign spring runoff conditions and is hollow underneath a covering of snow. Behrendt's horse reacted when the bridge gave way, causing the horse behind her horse to rear up and come down on Behrendt's chest.
Although CPR was initiated on scene and Behrendt was taken to Southern Inyo Hospital, she was pronounced deceased after an hour of life-saving attempts at the hospital.

Anyway, I did not understand it. So I was just confused. I was just like, "Yeah, we get it, you love Jurassic park." Guys do you know how many times he has referred to it? Guess. According to the robots at Oh No Robot, it is at least four! That's a whole crapload. Not to mention the continual raptor stuff we get to put up with that grew out of it. Anyway I guess I'm just wondering how much more he is going to reference that specific book and movie.
Would that plan even work? As long as the child is dependent on you for insulin, won't they also be dependent on you for, you know, food and a home and stuff? Dinosaurs don't need that because they're freaking dinosaurs but it is my understanding that a human child would need that.
For some reason I would have expected this comic to generate more wrath from me, and yet now that I am sitting here writing, I have little more to say. So- what do you people think of this comic

Those days, those weeks...
I'm looking at my blog calendar and amidst the giveaways and the book reviews are blank empty spots to be filled in.
Some weeks are like that. This blog is a big, wide-open, blank canvas and there are days, I simply have no idea what to fill it with.
The momentum has changed. I love cooking and I love writing... photography not so much. But that's no secret.
It seems like every season brings change.
Change to the leaves, to the scents in the air as I leave work in the afternoons. Change to diets, change to the list of books on my reading list.
What's next? I really don't know.
Some days I want to write stories. Some days I want to cook. Some days I'd rather just observe and watch. Lately I've picked up my crochet needles again. It's that time of year. Many afternoons I'm contemplative and I want to simply write out those thoughts and feelings. And more often than not these days, I'd rather stay away from any electronic device for weeks at a time. Who needs Facebook? Facebook can make you feel like others lives are more fulfilling than your own. And that simply isn't true. It's one of those tools of this day and age which needs to be used in great moderation or it can steal your joy.
My neighbor stopped me in the driveway yesterday. Came to return a dish. Apologized for not filling it with something in return. I smiled. And she sighed and simply said she was tired. She went on to talk about the things in her life that were extremely challenging for her right now. The frustrations that come from owning an old house. And just life in general. I listened, not really knowing what to say. But I wanted to help.
I wanted to invite her over for my grandmother's tea. To come into my messy kitchen. We'd push stuff out of the way on my overcrowded kitchen table and just enjoy the moment. Different families, same frustrations.
Life has just been like that... messy, overcrowded, days of frustration, days of absolute joy.
How do you sort it all out? Are you a contemplative type? Do you ever feel overwhelmed, even when things are good? Do you question what direction you need to be headed? If you're doing things right on your blog, in your journal, in your life? What are you working through right now? Do blank empty spots face you as well? How do you work through those moments?
I'd love for you to share your thoughts in the comments below... and there's an anonymous option to leave comments, so you can be completely honest and totally anonymous if you'd like too.

I often feel like I'm drowning. Shed a tear on the way to work today, actually. Time goes so fast. My babies are getting so big. And I'm just peddling as fast as I can in this rat race!ReplyDelete
Church helps. It fills me, helps me get perspective. And on the weekends I try to stop, look around me, and recognize my blessings. Hug my boys.
I need to make more time for the things I love. I keep telling myself - when things slow down, I'll cook, bake, take photos, blog. But I never do. Glad to hear I'm not the only one!
Glad to hear you're stepping back and seeing where you want to go next. I think it's a winter thing...a time for contemplation.ReplyDelete

Thanks for this post- you helped me feel less alone today. I also overheard someone at the grocery store say how he's "just so tired of everything." I think there's a lot of people out there who are struggling right now, and it's good to remind ourselves that we're all in this together and we're never alone. Thank you! -AmandaReplyDelete
Agree so completely - especially now, starting back to a full-time job, I feel like I blink and another week has passed and I didn't get anything really worthwhile done, life's details keep getting in the way. What works for me is taking a mental break - step away from what I have to do, pour a glass of wine, cuddle with my cat and watch a tv show that sucks me in so completely that I forget about the rest of the world for a bit :)ReplyDelete
Thank you for your honesty, I understand where you are coming from. Yesterday was a day like that for me. I couldn't help feeling overwhelmed by life, swamped by it all. I had a post to publish, I had a recipe with photo I just had to write an opening but nothing would come to the surface, so it was a short one. Some days are like that. I also find photography is my biggest challenge of blogging so far. I have utmost respect for professional photographers, because its not as easy as it looks.ReplyDelete
Sometimes during the rough spots, I just keep putting one foot in front of the other for awhile. So far, it seems to have worked and eventually I find some clarity and inspiration.ReplyDelete

2012 Processor of the Year: Chobani
Turkish immigrant Hamdi Ulukaya wanted yogurt like that back home, so he made some like a billion dollars' worth of it.
Chobani CEO Hamdi Ulukaya grew up on a dairy farm in Erzinkan in eastern Turkey, his family made cheese primarily, and a little yogurt, both mostly using sheep's milk.
It's difficult deciding which Chobani story to tell first. The Horatio Alger story of a Turkish immigrant who bought a shuttered yogurt plant and became a successful businessman. The creation of a new and intensely hot food category. How a startup based on a single product grew into a billion-dollar company.
After a year in which Greek yogurt became the hottest-growth food category, we name Chobani Inc. our eighth Processor of the Year. In just five years, Chobani became the biggest-selling single brand in the overall yogurt category (admittedly, Dannon and Yoplait segment their brands much more).
While we'll recount the road to this phenomenal success story, it's essential to note up front 2013 will be a make-or-break year for this company. Can it operate a second U.S. plant, a greenfield that will be the world's biggest yogurt factory? Can it extend its success to other parts of the globe? Should Horatio Alger hire a professional manager? How far can you run on a single product category?
Those are issues Chobani is considering, and we all will witness the decisions and their outcomes. But for now, the party is for Chobani 2012, and all we're serving is Greek yogurt.
Horatio Alger of yogurt
Hamdi Ulukaya wanted to come to the U.S. to learn English since he was a child. Growing up on a dairy farm in Erzinkan in eastern Turkey, his family made cheese primarily, and a little yogurt, both mostly using sheep's milk.
He worked in the family business and studied political science at Turkey's Ankara University. But in 1994, he enrolled in Adelphi University, on New York's Long Island, to learn the English language. Within a year he moved to central New York, enrolling in the State University of New York's Albany campus intending to study business. But his family pressured him to get into business, rather than study it, and soon he was importing his family's feta cheese and selling it in central New York.
"Sales were pretty good. I took it as a good sign," he says. "So I got a loan from the local economic development organization and bought a small plant in Johnstown, N.Y., to make feta."
That was 2002, and the company, Euphrates Inc., he still manages. He was struggling, making a living, but this was not to be a billion-dollar company.
In 2005, he saw an advertisement for a Kraft plant in nearby South Edmeston that was in the process of shutting down. As a dairy plant, the site dated back to 1885, and parts of the current buildings dated back to 1901. There was just a skeleton crew still hand-packing Breyers yogurt and starting to wind down the plant.
"It was like a cemetery. The environment was sad. The paint was peeling, water was dripping," Ulukaya recalls. "But the shell of the plant was OK. A lot of equipment remained – not in perfect shape, but a few weeks earlier it had been operating. It had tanks, pasteurizers, fillers. But it was clear Kraft had not invested much in the plant in the past 10-15 years."
Despite the category finally catching on in this country, Kraft was exiting the yogurt business, having just sold the Breyers business. Ulukaya was not fond of American-style yogurt. "It's like candy, full of sweeteners and texturizers and stabilizers," he said. "In Turkey, we eat strained yogurt – we don't call it Greek yogurt. It's a little bit sour, like sour cream or almost cheese, and has much more protein."
Ulukaya's family may not have called it Greek yogurt, but Fage did. The Greek company started importing strained yogurt from its homeland factory in the late 1990s, and in 2005 built its first U.S. plant – ironically, in Johnstown, N.Y.
Yogurt plays a large role in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern diets. It's not only a breakfast, it's a drink, a side dish to some meals and an ingredient in many more. "Yogurt is everywhere [in Turkey]," he recalls. "I can't think of a day when we did not eat some yogurt."

Mayor Don Wesely today unveiled a new sculpture called "American Eagle," which has been permanently installed outside the Mayor's Office on the second floor of the County-City Building. The sculpture is the work of Nebraska artist Fred Hoppe and was donated to the County-City Public Art Project by Russell and Louise Brehm of Lincoln.
"The donation of this majestic sculpture of our nation's symbol comes at the perfect time, as the people of our country come together to deal with the recent terrorist attacks," said Mayor Wesely. "This very generous donation by the Brehm family will remind many future generations of the pride we have in our country and the need to protect our freedom."
"Louise and I share the Mayor's commitment to the arts in Lincoln," said Russell Brehm. "We are aware of his efforts to beautify the County-City Building and are pleased to present this eagle to the City of Lincoln. We hope it provides a lasting impression on the many visitors to this fine building."
The life-sized sculpture of a bald eagle stands six feet tall and weighs about 500 pounds. It is valued at about $50,000. Hoppe, who lives near Malcolm, has also completed other eagle sculptures which are in the homes of former President George Bush and General Norman Schwarzkopf.
Hoppe's sculpture was approved for display by the Art Advisory Committee of the County-City Public Building Commission. The advisory committee, chaired by County Attorney Gary Lacey, was established in October 1998 to explore the funding and placement of art in the County-City Government Complex, which includes the County-City Building, the Justice and Law Enforcement Center and the corrections facility.
The first piece approved by the committee, "Jehanne," continues to be on display on the second floor of the County City Building. The sculpture of the head of Joan of Arc is by San Francisco artist Charles Strong and is on loan from Karen and Robert Duncan of Lincoln.
Mayor Wesely also supported the first two Pennies for Lincoln campaigns, coordinated by the Lincoln Arts Council (LAC). The first resulted in the installation of "The Rail Joiner," a sculpture of a young Abraham Lincoln, outside the Justice and Law Enforcement Center. The second campaign, now nearing completion, will fund the installation of "Daydreams," a sculpture of a young girl and her dog, in Cooper Park. The Mayor also works with the LAC to present the Mayor's Arts Awards every year.
"I am very pleased to see our city continuing to increase its public art, which adds to our quality of life," said Mayor Wesely. "With generous donations such as the Brehm's, we are able to bring great art to our citizens at no taxpayer expense."

Obsoinc needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 84 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
You Compare Medicare
You Compare Medicare is a new professional services company focused on building new technology to support health care decisions. Our primary focus is on the Medicare space, but we will also be doing some work for the under 65 market.
We are not your standard government entity or a traditional insurance company. We are a consumer focused, technology driven company. Think Web2.0, social media, and etail while respecting our target audience and the traditional peers/partners we will have to work with.
Two primary targets: Consumers age 65+ and Business Partners (Both non-profit and corporate entities)
Consumers: The end user of our products will be age 65+, but are willing to adopt newer technologies like mobile, web and social media. Thus, our user base is most likely the more sophisticated of this age group. We will also be reaching these consumers caregivers which could range in age from 20-50...but they are all turning to technology to help them solve their problems. Typically the 65+ market likes larger fonts and easy to read fonts. They also tend not to be driven by shocking colors, but prefer softer, warmer colors. But not pastels.
Partners: These are the non-profits, government agencies and corporate partners that we will be teaming with. So our presence can't be too whimsical. Need to provide a sense of trust and confidence in our abilities.
Prefer a logo that incorporates text and a visual element. Ideally the visual element can be used on it's own as an icon. So the visual element needs to be able to be visible/identifiable when reduced to a small scale.
We want the logo to display that we are a technology/innovative organization and that we have vision for the future of healthcare.
Primarily will be used on the web and some printed materials, so would like a full color version and one in black and white for printed materials.
Colors need to be calm colors. Willing to push the envelope a little to make sure we are current, but stay away from anything too trendy that won't last.
Please provide full Illustrator files at the end of the process.
Thank you for your consideration!

- 2006 Honorable-Mention All-Big 12 (Coaches)
2008 (Senior)
Offensive lineman Matt Slauson completed an outstanding Nebraska career in the 2008 season by anchoring a strong Nebraska offensive line. Slauson started all 13 games at right guard during his senior season, helping Nebraska rank among the nation's top 20 in scoring, passing and total offense.
The 6-5, 320-pound Slauson reaped the rewards of his off-season commitment to improve his overall level of conditioning. After dropping more than 20 pounds during the off-season, Slauson was Nebraska's most complete offensive lineman, helping the Huskers amass more than 400 yards of total offense nine times, and top 30 points 10 times in 13 games
The unit also displayed the physical nature Nebraska coaches wanted, helping the Huskers control the football and rank second nationally in time of possession. He and his offensive line mates played a key role in the success of quarterback Joe Ganz who established Nebraska season records for passing yards, total offense and completion percentage. The Huskers also developed a strong running game averaging 211.7 yards per game and 5.1 yards per carry in the final six games of the regular season.
Slauson's play did not go unnoticed, as he received first-team All-Big 12 honors from the San Antonio Express-News, while being a second-team all-conference selection by several other sources.
2007 (Junior)
Slauson spent the majority of his practice time during the spring and fall camp at guard and went on to play in all 12 games. He made eight starts at three different positions, including right guard and both tackle spots. Slauson and fellow junior Mike Huff rotated as the starter at right guard for the first 10 games, before Slauson opened at left tackle against Kansas State, and started at right tackle in the season finale at Colorado.
Behind the offensive line, Nebraska averaged 468.2 yards per game, its best offensive total in 10 seasons, while averaging a school-record 323.8 passing yards per contest. The line allowed quarterbacks Joe Ganz and Sam Keller to post four of the top five passing days in school history. I-back Marlon Lucky also flourished on the ground, rushing for 1,019 yards, while posting the best all-purpose season by a Husker in 10 years. Slauson also played a key role in protecting the quarterback, and Nebraska finished the year by allowing just 18 sacks in 296 pass attempts.
Slauson earned honorable-mention All-Big 12 honors from the Associated Press and second-team all-league mention by Rivals.com.
2006 (Sophomore)
Slauson was entrenched as the Huskers' starting right tackle during the first 11 games of the season. He suffered a leg injury that forced him to miss the final two regular-season games other than extra-point team duty. He returned to action on the line in the Cotton Bowl, but was limited. When healthy, Slauson was one of the driving forces behind an improved and balanced Nebraska offense that ranked among the nation's leaders in both rushing and passing and finished 14th in total offense.
Slauson helped clear the way for NU's four-man I-back committee to combine for more than 2,400 yards rushing and 26 touchdowns. From his right tackle spot, Slauson also helped provide sufficient protection for quarterback Zac Taylor to break most of the Huskers' single-season and career passing records and earn Big 12 Offensive Player-of-the-Year honors.
Slauson was honored for his performance, as he was a second-team All-Big 12 performer according to several media outlets, including the Associated Press. He was also an honorable-mention all-conference pick by the Big 12 coaches.
2005 (Freshman)
A late addition to Nebraska's 2005 signing class, Slauson joined the program just before fall camp in 2005. One of a Nebraska record 13 true freshmen to see action, Slauson played in nine games overall and was a regular on Nebraska's extra-point and field goal units throughout the year, before entering the offensive line rotation late in the season.
Slauson started at right tackle against Kansas State, Colorado and Michigan. His performance was a major factor in Nebraska's 3-0 finish to the season, including what was at the time the second-best passing game in school history with 392 yards at Colorado.
Before Nebraska (Air Force Prep)
Slauson played one season at Air Force Prep School in Colorado Springs, lining up at offensive tackle. Slauson spent the 2003 season at Air Academy High in Colorado Springs, after moving from Oregon before his senior season.
Slauson began his high school career at Sweet Home High School in Oregon, where he starred on the offensive line for Coach Rob Younger. Overall, Slauson lettered three times in football, twice in basketball and four times in track during his prep career.
The son of Rob and Nancy Slauson, Matt was born on Feb. 18, 1986. Slauson is a sociology major, and is on track to graduate in May of 2009. He has volunteered his time as a YMCA Youth Sports Volunteer and also as part of Nebraska's team hospital visits.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The New York State Racing and Wagering Board says four industry experts will review the deaths of 20 horses at Aqueduct's thoroughbred race track over the past four months.
They will examine the condition of Aqueduct's inner track and polices on necropsies, pre-race horse examination, veterinary procedures, drug use, public disclosures and claiming procedures.
Board Chairman John Sabini says the task force will "shine a light on the causes behind these tragic breakdowns" and improve the safety of race horses.
They are retired jockey Jerry Bailey, Thoroughbred Horsemen's Associations Chairman Alan Foreman and equine veterinarians Scott Palmer and Mary Scollay.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo called last week for the New York Racing Association, which has the state franchise for thoroughbred racing, to name investigators subject to board approval.

Welcome Back
In today's post I will be reviewing; Zig Art & Graphic Pens
Product Details
- Manufacturer/Brand; Kuretake/ Zig Art & Graphic
- Item number TUT-80/12V Muted
- RRP at time of writing: £23
Reason For Buying
I had tried the Brushables and really enjoyed using them, however there is a much larger colour pallet available in the Art & Graphic range and wanting to paint flora and fauna these looked a good idea.
- Twin tipped.
- Water based dye ink
- Xylene free & no smell
- Rubber brush tip, HIGHLY flexible
- Fine nib fiber tip at the other end.
- Really juicy
- You can scribble on to acrylic block and pick up the colour with damp brush to water-colour larger areas
- Colour direct to rubber stamps for multi coloured images
- Even though it is a large brush you can still get to fine point for fine detail
I haven't got any, I love them. Perhaps a finer version of the rubber brush nib at the other end would have been good but the bullet nib is great for fine detail.
Build Quality
Superb, the lids are well-fitting but not too hard to remove. The pen colour number is printed on the pen barrel so if you need to replace a colour later on you will still have its details. The rubber nib is amazing, really flexible and the ink flow is perfect.
Value for Money
Fair for the quality. They may not be the cheapest pens around but they sure do earn their keep.
Would I buy it Again?
Yes, after ten minutes with this set, I ordered the brights and I'm looking out for the pastels set too. (All in sets of 12). For the rest, well I've a big birthday this year so guess whats going on my wish list.
Summing up
You just have to try them, they are amazing. The rubber nib is unlike anything else, it makes for a true brush like experience, even to the fact that the ink colour varies depending on the amount of pressure you put on the nib. As you lift off the pressure the colour lightens.
- Kuretake
- Zig Art & Graphic pens
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon
Billie 🙂

TK Series Tool Changers
IPR Robotics, LLCUpdated 05/06/2015
IPR Robotics offers a wide range of Tool Changer sizes for use with industrial robots and linear gantries. These Tool Changers provide safe, fast, reliable and repeatable tool changes for tools weighing from 2 lbs. up to 2,200 lbs. A variety of pneumatic and hydraulic line configurations are available to meet the tool requirements of each application. Stainless steel versions are available for food, pharmaceutical and medical applications.
Also available for our Tool Changer family are IP-65 sealed electrical connection options including SUB-D and Military style connectors. All of these can be quickly coupled and uncoupled with tight repeatability and high reliability over long durations and high duty cycles.
The Robot Side has an ISO mounting pattern to fit the robot flange directly, without an additional adapter plate. The locking mechanism, with cone and several hardened balls, generates a high holding force and is failsafe even with loss of air pressure because of the spring behind the Locking Cylinder. The Tool Changer compensates for misalignment at pick-up by as much as 1/8": once the Robot Side is about 1/8" distance to the Tool Side firing the Locking Mechanism will pull up the Tool and lock it, thus allowing for faster cycle times.

Hello everyone.
I'm trying to make a small demo of VSM technique to learn it. I'm using OpenGL 2.0 + framebuffer extension, also using SDL and GLEW for utility. I've got some visual problems, looking like that:
(clickable image link to imgbox.com, image host)
After searching information on this forum, i've found a trick of clamping minimum value of (M2 - M1*M1) by 0.00002. It makes shadow look much better, except certain angles, which still look like that:
(clickable image link to imgbox.com, image host)
If I increase this minimum value, artifacts become less visible, at the same time shadow becomes fainter (probably that's why artifacts less visible too).
I have done blurring after second test. While it helped, some artifacts are still visible:
(clickable image link to imgbox.com, image host)
Full source code (tested on Gentoo Linux 64bit) is here: http://pastebin.com/iAkeW85V
I know it's not optimized in any way, and many textures/fbos could be reused and some textures combined, i'll do it later, for now I want to get rid of artifacts. Please help me to get rid of them.
