MBTI: 640 Responses
I added the question of gender somewhat late, so it doesn't have as much data, so I won't be looking at that too closely in this analysis. I'll leave it for another time :)
Raw Numbers:
The top chart is the number of personalities that people responded with. Below it is a chart of the world population average.
As you can see, adding another 400 responses to the survey has left the IN crowd--a minority overall in world population--heavily represented within WoW (at least among those who would be following blogs and feel the urge to submit their data :) ). Elnia explained why in his response, MBTI and WoW, at the Pink Pigtail Inn: "That this activity (WoW) takes place in an imagined space is part of what we mean by intuition (N). That this activity takes place in a space of limited extroverted interaction is part of what is meant by introversion (I)." As he predicted, INTJs are now the most-represented personality type in this 640-response study (INTPs were in the 223 response study), in spite of a relatively low population in the world.
Raid Roles and Class: Numerical
Below is the breakdown of responses in terms of preferred raid role and favorite classes. Some players do, of course, enjoy multiple raid roles. I'd like to look more in-depth later at which personalities were more likely to enjoy multiple raid roles, per person, rather than only one role; it will likely match those who have hybrids among the most popular classes, but that's just my guess :)
Raid Roles and Class: Percentage
The same data as above, but averaged out into percentages per personality type. It would seem that ESTPs, though a minority in the study, really like to tank as warriors and druids! ES's overall seemed to shy away from magical dps classes.
Guild Roles and Play Style
For this, I wanted to look at percentages rather than raw numbers.
C/C = Casual Schedule, Casual Play
C/H = Casual Schedule, Hardcore Play
H/C = Hardcore Schedule, Casual Play
H/H = Hardcore Schedule, Hardcore Play
Play Style:
The vast majority of respondents play on a casual schedule, attending raids only 3 nights or less each week. Of course, they may use other nights for pugs, alts, 5-man runs, pvp, and all the other non-raidly things that can be done. The ESFP percentages (heavy H/C) I take with a grain of salt, as they were overall under-represented as a population in WoW, but perhaps that is just their way: valueing time spent with friends in a casual atmosphere of a raid.
Contrary to Elnia's expectations, however, a large number of the ENFJs claim that they are hardcore players: the percentages don't look very different from the INTJs. I'd like to break the schedule and raiding style down further in a future post, and see how time (limiting other activities) and social aspects of each personality may play into raiding style and time commitment.
Guild Roles:
As my direction on the survey asked for those that a person was drawn to, whether voluntarily or not, I am a bit wary of how to proceed with this data. Some people are good at roles, though they'd rather not have to do them; others are pushed into them and do poorly at them, because no one else would step up. Other people *think* they may do a good job at a role, and carry it out, but it may or may not truly be the case. As such, I'd like to eventually look at the correlation between roles, personalities, and raiding style.
For now, suffice to say that each personality type has its own leaders, and has times where their particular personality helped to put out/deal with a drama-fire. We can look into these roles more closely below, however, in the next section...
Further Breakdown on Guild Roles:
Dominated by Intuitive (big-picture/inventive), Thinker (objective, rational decision making), Judger (schedules, rules) types of players. While there are certainly other personalities who have lead a guild, they may have felt far less comfortable with it: Feelers tend to take more diplomatic routes, trying to keep harmony in the guild, which may result in more casual raiding styles; Perceivers would likely rely heavily on their officer core to make decisions for them, and be more spontaneous and flexible with their guild.
Raid Leaders:
Similar situation as with GMs, though they do not necessarily have to enforce guild policy, so the break between Judgers and Perceivers (and their relative adaptability/organization) is mostly even.
Class Leaders:
These seem to come from all types relatively evenly, across the board.
Slightly dominated by Intuitive Judgers (organized yet inventive). Just as there are different kinds of blogs, so too there are different personalities of bloggers!
Web Admins:
More of the Judger variety, perhaps due to their ability to finish projects and organizational skills. Perceivers are more likely to get distracted midway through, or spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to do something new and exciting that isn't necessarily conventional and thus is time-consuming (like building an entire design from scratch and learning css and php along the way... *coughs*).
As I mentioned earlier, all of the personalities seem to have times where their particular personality helped to put out or deal with a drama-fire. The intuitives (looking at the big-picture and relying on instinct rather than past experiences) have a slightly larger showing, but not by any ridiculous amount.
This role tends to be taken on mostly by guild masters and raid leaders, since they should be the ones who know what they want and need and to progress. As such, the same personality types of Thinkers and Judgers tends to dominate, though Sensors (detail-oriented people) are not as left out as they are in the GM/Rl roles. Sensors are a reasonable help for guild recruitment, as they will carefully inspect gear, enchants, specs, and trial-run capabilities.
Further Breakdown on Class:
The class types have fairly evened out in terms of extro/intro, and sense/intuition: INs tend to dominate across the board. The most obvious differences between classes comes down to Judgers (conventional, decisive) vs Perceivers (adaptable) .
The largest split comes down to two casters: Warlocks seem to be preferred more by Judgers and Mages seem to be preferred more by Perceivers. Since I've never had as much interest in playing a magical DPS myself, I'm curious what causes this split. What do you think?
9 comments:
I am a judger, and cannot stand playing a mage, the farthest I have ever gotten was getting one to 40 and then forgetting about him after BC came out. And that was mostly because I played him as fire specialization and felt kind of lock-ish.
Im going to take a purely speculative stab in the dark and suggest it could possibly have to do with the summons/portals they use to provide transportation for others, what kinds of nourishment each can provide (one can make food and water for out of combat snacking, the other can give the soulstone or health stone for instant uses), and the control one allows over the elements vs the control the other has over a variety of demons.

I'm absolutely fascinated by this. I've recently discovered M-B myself, and am amazed at what you're getting. (Of course, since I'm an INTJ as well, obviously data like this is going to be very interesting to me.)

Pallies are also heavily Judgers themselves... heheheee.
So, mages send people all over the globe; warlocks summon them. Mages provide out-of-combat food, locks let them eat in-combat. Mages have mirror images and light blue pets; locks have demons and darkness. Mages eat mana-crystals, warlocks cut themselves. Both rain fire and destruction from the sky.
I never got my lock nor my mage past 30 :)
- September 29, 2009 at 9:46 PM
I think it might be more strongly tied to the old school "perception" ( I use that term loosely) that lock were more survivable and that mages were "glass cannons"- since judgers congregate towards a more traditional, safer route- where percievers may congregate more strongly to more of a gamble of survivability- sure as a mage you could do more damage quicker back in the day but as an affliction or demo lock I NEVER die

Being an INFJ, thus the largest minority, I find it interesting to compare these results with the classes I enjoy playing. Having four 80's and a miriad of 40-50's the two I enjoy playing the most are my Fury warrior and Pally. Warrior doesnt seem to weigh in any particular direction but the pally certainly does! Very interesting study here and I thank you for taking the time to compile this information! Facinating stuff

Kae. I'm trying to read your chart above on play style. But in the chart you have pink and orange but the labels have pink twice. Or maybe it's my monitor. Are the pink the c/c?

Ok. I think the c/c is orange.
In an event, I just wanted to make clear than my comment regarding the ENFJ in my post was that I did not think they would be likely to keep a hardcore *schedule*.
I'm not sure what personality type would have the most hardcore *play*. My initial reaction is that this aspect is not something the MBTI would predict very well; but I need to think about it more.

Very interesting post! Combines two things that fascinate me and has it very nicely organized!
I'm an INTJ and adore my mage above all others - which I guess makes me a little odd. I did find it very interesting that the DK class had so little representation for INTJ's. I loathe trying to play mine, so that made me giggle some.
I hadn't thought much about how my type fed into my roles as a co-GM, blogger or raid leader though (I have a lot of hats). I'll probably be doing so now.
Wish I had found this several months ago when it was a new post. :)

Custom Imprinted Promotional Pencils
Promotional products can help potential clients remember your business and find your contact information. Many writing utensils end up being shared, so additional clients may learn of your business beyond the original person a pencil was given to. Promotional pencils can be useful for those times when a person wants to reach for a pencil rather than a pen. Everyone makes mistakes and pencils make them easier to correct! These custom pencils, when imprinted with a logo, such as a school\'s logo, make a great giveaway to students on their first or last day of classes.
Business names and logos can be printed on wooden pencils or on mechanical pencils. Colorful pencils, especially pencils in company colors, are popular promotional pencils for customization as are pencils in fun shapes. These pencils can be ordered and distributed by the thousands.
Custom pencils can be useful and attention-grabbing. Company colors and business names and logos can adorn number two pencils with white erasers, which are useful for students when taking standardized tests and popular with other users as well. Pencils, or bentcils, also come in with standard number two lead and with white erasers -- but they have a fun twist.
Bentcils are bent into different shapes rather than being shaped as a straight line. Bencils come in various designs, including designs that are bent at the top to form the shapes of different numbers, airplanes, apples and dog bones. Bentcils are eye-catching and interesting; they are especially popular with children — they\'re certainly a unique giveaway. Business owners can use bentcils to promote their businesses by selecting a bentcil shape that is related to what they do and having their business name and logo printed on the pencils themselves.
Custom pencils come in a variety of styles and designs and are personalized to the business being promoted. The best promotional pencils for a business will depend on that business\'s target market, but the selection of pencils available for customization makes it possible to choose a style and design appropriate for any potential client. These small items can capture the attention of potential customers in a big way and come at a very reasonable price that won\'t break the bank!

As you may know I am currently working on RHQ-Metrics, a time series database with some charting extensions that will be embeddable into Angular apps.
One of the goals of the project is also to make the database also available for other consumers that may have other input sources deployed as well as their own graphing.
Over the weekend I looked a bit at Grafana which looks quite nice, so I started to combine RHQ-metrics with Grafana.
I did not (immediately) find a description of the data format between Grafana and Graphite, but saw that InfluxDB is supported, so I fired up WireShark and was able to write an endpoint for RHQ-Metrics that supports listing of metrics and retrieving of data.
The overall setup looks like this:
Setup used
A Ganglia
gmond emits data over IP multicast, which is received with the protocol translator client, ptrans. This translates the data into requests that are pushed into the RHQ-metrics system (shown as the dotted box) and there stored in the Cassandra backend.
Grafana then talks to the RHQ-Metrics server and fetches the data to be displayed.
For this to work, I had to comment out the
graphiteUrl in
conf.js and use the
influx backend like this:
datasources: {
influx: {
default: true,
type: 'influxdb',
username: 'test',
password: 'test',
url: 'http://localhost:8080/rhq-metrics/influx',
As you can see, the URL points to the RHQ-Metrics server.
The code for the new handler is still "very rough" and thus not yet in the normal source repository. To use it, you can clone my version of the RHQ-Metrics repository and then run
start.sh in the root directory to get the RHQ-Metrics server (with the built-in memory backend) running.
I have now added code (still in my repository) to support some of the aggregating functions of Influx like min, max, mean, count and sum. The following shows a chart that uses those functions:

My love of masculine styling on women is growing, there is something about a tuxedo jacket paired with slim trousers and high heels that I love to see, especially on the red carpet. At the weekend Madonna wore a wide-leg Ralph Lauren tux to the Grammys, which was one of my best looks, and over the past few months we have seen everyone from Kim Basinger to Julianna Margulies really show how hot the look can be.
Well this week I added another actress to the long list of women in suits to my growing Pinterest board with the lovely Anne Hathaway rocking a studded silk-lapel Viktor & Rolf blazer with slim-fit pants and a simple black tee to the Hollywood Stands Up To Cancer event.
This look from the Viktor & Rolf spring/summer 2014 collection is styled to perfection, I love the laid-back vibe of the look with the addition of the slouchy tee and the turned-up cuffs with the touch of elegance of the Lady Dior handbag and bow-front heels. Basically just a classy look that works as well as on the red carpet on a celebrity as it would to work or lunch with friends.
There has been a more casual feel to Anne Hathaway lately, maybe that's to do with her new stylist Penny Lovell, who also works with Rose Byrne, but it will be interesting to see what the actress rocks to the Oscars in March.

Already??!! Well, the calendar doesn't lie! The countdown to Christmas is in earnest now. It seems that once Christmas Eve arrives, in the blink of an eye it's January because we all know that time spent celebrating Christmas just blends into celebrating New Years.
For the first time in years I'm not ready for Christmas and since that's the case I figure I may just as well wait until the pre-Boxing Day sales begin :)
"Christmas is a time of little time.
How we get there is a mystery.
Racing madly mall-to-mall, we climb
Into fields of sunlit harmony.
Shopping, cooking, clearing walks and yards,
Trimming house and tree while working, too;
Making phone calls, wrapping, writing cards,
As all worn out we do what we must do
So that this day of joy might joy renew."

Schubert's Songs: A Biographical Study
The Fischer-Dieskau Book of Lieder
Because they are there: that must be one reason why the huge corpus of Schubert songs has proved to be irresistible to a singer like Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. No great performer of today or perhaps any other era has been so fascinated by the sheer extent of the musical repertory available to him. It is claimed that Fischer-Dieskau is the most recorded musician in the classical catalogue, and his most celebrated effort, released in 1970 by DGG, is a monumental collection of more than 450 Schubert songs on twenty-eight discs.1 This represents about 75 percent of the total number and 85 percent of those suitable for male voice. He has also written a book about Schubert's songs, now published in English, the sort of book that works through the entire corpus and finds at least a few words to say about nearly every member of it. This book seems to have been impelled largely by Fischer-Dieskau's enthusiasm for the manche schöne Perle, as Heine might have put it, which rest in the depths of the Schubert complete edition.
But conquest, or salvage, cannot be the only reason. Clearly for Fischer-Dieskau, as for many other musicians, the Schubert songs occupy a unique place in the aesthetic firmament. This composer stands apart decisively from the others who followed him to form the great nineteenth-century Lied tradition, in a way that is hard to explain on the basis of compositional technique, the Zeitgeist, or even individual talent. The fact that there are slack moments in certain Schubert songs—in many Schubert songs, if we assume Fischer-Dieskau's perspective—seems to make no difference to the enthusiasts. Every song and every gesture within the songs have a special resonance which separates them from those of other composers. There is a special mystery about this music, a mystery too about the devotion it inspires.
Fischer-Dieskau, who is a very distinguished singer but not a very distinguished critic, contributes little to its elucidation. What raises Schubert so far above other composers, he writes, is that he is (in italics) "authentic": which is no more helpful than the traditional rhetoric as relayed by, for example, his friend and collaborator Gerald Moore, the great piano accompanist:
This book was written under compulsion, the compulsion of my love for Franz Peter Schubert. I cannot leave him alone and find myself in the evening of my life turning more and more to the master whom Artur Schnabel described as the composer nearest to God. No one ever expressed himself with such utter lack of artificiality; so spontaneous is his song that the process of transplantation from mind to manuscript without loss of freshness or bloom is miraculous. His heart was full of music which in its unerring directness, unsurprising naturalness and sublime eloquence uplifts the soul.2
But one must not throw stones in the glass house of Schubert criticism. Academic critics, such…

John Elmore, in an early lap. John E won the "C" race, his first race win at the crits, though he won the series last year with consistently good finishes. John is a tough guy who works his ass off on the bike and is always a good wheel to follow. Congratulations, my friend!
John E won the race, but there are always primes, small prizes awarded for pack sprints. Chris Randle was living the High Life with this spectacular prime provided by Competitive Cyclist. And I thought real cyclists always drank some groovy craft beer or PBR.
I returned from a loop around the River Trail just as the break developed in the "A" race. The race was fast and none of the attempts at bridging out of the pack to this bunch came close. Last week's winner, Kris French, missed the break but he had a teammate up there in the form of veteran Hunter East. Hunter is a near legend, having had a long and successful racing career before laying off competition a few years ago. I'm not sure what has him fired up, perhaps his son Evan's interest in racing, but Hunter has been showing the power and he is among those riders who really understand bike racing strategy.
The break is gone...
Hunter was the only race winner to bring his own podium girls, perhaps a sign of his confidence in his fitness! That's daughter Hannah with the shadow kiss and wife Dustin planting a little lip on the boy.
Drop on by next Wednesday! I've got other plans, so you folks can fill me in on the action! If you go down to watch and don't understand what's going on, just ask somebody, as there are plenty of experts in the crowd. Or, so I've been told by folks in the crowd.

About Avon & Wildridge
Avon The Town of Avon used to be known for its prime location at the base of Beaver Creek Ski Resort, but Avon has come into its own in recent years thanks to thoughtful redevelopment projects, new restaurants and businesses, top-notch events and endless outdoor recreation. One of Avon's town jewels is Nottingham Lake, where you'll find everything from standup paddleboarding to concerts to family-friendly festivals. Free buses shuttle visitors and residents around town or up to the ski resort, and a transit center also provides quick and easy access to Vail. The Town has made many improvements in recent years to its pedestrian connections, making the town much more walkable overall. Avon has become an extension of the resorts, offering mountain living without any sacrifices. Wal-Mart, City Market and The Home Depot anchor the town's retail business mix, which also offers a variety of unique local retail businesses and some of the valley's top restaurants. The Westin Riverfront also offers gondola access from town to Beaver Creek Resort. The Town's 40,000-square-foot recreation center features an indoor waterslide, a 5-lane lap pool, and a state-of-the-art fitness facility. Just outside its doors, Nottingham Park Pavilion plays host to concerts and events, including the annual Fourth of July festivities which include one of the most impressive fireworks shows in the state. The real estate in Avon features a combination of townhomes, condominiums and single-family homes. Second-home owners have taken a particular liking to the Westin Riverfront, Basecamp, The Ascent and Brookside. Wildridge Perched high above the valley with views of Beaver Creek, Game Creek Bowl and Edwards, Wildridge is a community with a unique identity in the valley. Just a few minutes up the hill from Avon, Wildridge is a mix of condominium complexes, townhomes, duplexes and single-family homes. Lot sizes here are comparatively larger than what's available in most neighborhoods throughout the Vail Valley, and the expansive views add to one of Wildridge's greatest amenities — being surrounded by open space. Hiking and biking trails are fun for all ability levels, and the community's dedicated bike lanes — especially the uphill climbing lanes from Avon — add to the community's bike friendliness. Two playgrounds and a popular dog park make families with children and/or dogs feel especially welcome here. The extensive trail systems in sunny Wildridge also bring together an eclectic mix of local residents looking to get their lungs pumping outside or just to socialize with neighbors. Many residents enjoy an evening stroll around the neighborhood's trails, where friendships are formed and neighbors get to know each other. With no noise from I-70, a quality trail system and expansive views, life in Wildridge is mountaintop living at its finest.

Speaking from experience, actor and activist George Takei strongly objected the idea of a "Muslim registry" after an outspoken supporter of President-elect Donald Trump cited internment camps as legal "precedent" for tracking individuals based on faith, NBC News reported.
"Registration of any group of people, and certainly registration of Muslims, is a prelude to internment," Takei said.
As a child he was was forced to relocate to multiple internment camps
"A registry is this simple categorization of a people of one faith. In our case, it was people of one ancestry.
"We were American citizens, and yet, because we looked like the enemy, we were treated like the enemy and imprisoned. This is what's going to happen with a Muslim registry, and we as Americans will not tolerate that again."
A former Navy SEAL and supporter of President-elect Donald Trump cited World War II internment camps as a precedent for Trump's proposed Muslim registry during an interview Wednesday night on Fox News.

I'll be away and offline until Thursday, folks. Meanwhile, there are 7,976 posts here, hopefully something will be of interest. Commenting is turned off to stop those sly little spam linksters. Also, the "Favorites" bar on the side panel contains links to many great sites, please do check them out.
I leave you with a mystery: my friend Paco Ahlgren has written one of the most challenging and entertaining books I've read in a very long time, called "Discipline," skillfully melding a variety of concepts and philosophies into a top notch thriller that you won't be able to put down. A very, very "good read." (A link to his site ,"The Bottom Violation" is in the "Favorites" side bar.) At the end of the book are written three words, and they're the mystery. Can you figure out what they mean? Paco slyly replies, "No comment." Here they are, and good luck:

Unfinished Business on Earth Day's 40th Anniversaryby -
While Earth Day's founders couldn't have predicted it, acting on climate change has become the country's great unfinished business.
This post originally appeared on The Washington Post Planet Panel.
Earth Day's founders launched the modern environmental movement by harnessing the public's growing frustration with a polluted country and turning that sentiment into constructive action. The groundswell of public support shown on the first Earth Day translated into public pressure on Congress to act and protect our resources.
Congress responded swiftly. Perhaps most importantly, in 1970, President Nixon proposed and Congress later created the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Clean Air Act was enacted in 1963, and revised in 1970 to make it more stringent. The Clean Water Act followed shortly after that. Taken together, these developments made the United States cleaner and healthier and ushered in a new level of national awareness of environmental issues.
While climate change will be a challenge to solve, it also presents opportunities for American innovation. With the right policies in place, the United States could lead the world on clean energy.
Forty years later, some of these environmental challenges remain. We also face a new challenge with an enormous scale: climate change. The period from 2000 through 2009 was the warmest decade on record, and we're already beginning to see some of the effects of this warming.
While climate change will be a challenge to solve, it also presents opportunities for American innovation. With the right policies in place, the United States could lead the world on clean energy. Without new US policies in place, others like Germany and China will continue to lead the clean energy revolution and the risks of climate change will grow to an unacceptable level.
While Earth Day's founders couldn't have predicted it then, acting on climate change has become the country's great unfinished business. Enacting legislation that will spur clean energy innovation and curb global warming pollution would honor the founders' legacy in 2010. The U.S. House of Representatives got started this summer, and now it is the Senate's turn.
In the last 40 years, the people calling for environmental reforms have changed. The best policies are those supported by the public and a range of stakeholders. I can't think of many issues that unite veterans, religious groups, businesses and labor unions, yet climate and energy legislation is one of them.
As we observe Earth Day this week, I hope senators will remember that today, as 40 years ago, people counted on them to make the right choices for America.
WRI has many resources on U.S. Climate Legislation, including fact sheets and bill summaries. Learn more about WRI's work on Federal Climate Policy.

Some recent correspondence from people convinced that there was a great cover-up by the Scottish establishment, legal authorities and police on a child abuse case (I won't give this particular story any more oxygen by naming it) and a discussion with a friend about climate change and man's contribution to it led me to re-visit certain observations I made last July on this blog relevant to the 9/11 conspiracy theory, namely that Bush and the neocons masterminded the twin towers attack. I don't intend to make my case against that particular piece of nonsense again. I am prepared to believe many things about Bush and his ilk, almost all of them bad, but not this one.
The whole Purcell Affair has all the makings of a conspiracy theory, and I am inclined to believe that there has been some suppression of facts and evidence on this one, if not a full-blown conspiracy.
Those who deny the contribution of man to climate change tend to cite the opinion of commentators described as experts. Some are experts, some are experts but not in the field of climate change - and some experts are patently grinding the axe of vested interests in the oil industry, and have sold themselves and their academic reputations for filthy lucre. The fact is, there is a massive near-consensus by internationally reputable scientific organisations on man's contribution to climate change.
I quote below from an online analysis of the weight of this consensus.
Specifically, the "consensus" about anthropogenic climate change entails the following:
- the climate is undergoing a pronounced warming trend beyond the range of natural variability;
- the major cause of most of the observed warming is rising levels of the greenhouse gas CO2;
- the rise in CO2 is the result of burning fossil fuels;
- if CO2 continues to rise over the next century, the warming will continue; and
- a climate change of the projected magnitude over this time frame represents potential danger to human welfare and the environment.
While theories and viewpoints in conflict with the above do exist, their proponents constitute a very small minority. If we require unanimity before being confident, well, we can't be sure the earth isn't hollow either.
This consensus is represented in the IPCC Third Assessment Report, Working Group 1 (TAR WG1), the most comprehensive compilation and summary of current climate research ever attempted, and arguably the most thoroughly peer reviewed scientific document in history. While this review was sponsored by the UN, the research it compiled and reviewed was not, and the scientists involved were independent and came from all over the world.
The conclusions reached in this document have been explicitly endorsed by ...
- Academia Brasiliera de Ciências (Bazil)
- Royal Society of Canada
- Chinese Academy of Sciences
- Academié des Sciences (France)
- Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina (Germany)
- Indian National Science Academy
- Accademia dei Lincei (Italy)
- Science Council of Japan
- Russian Academy of Sciences
- Royal Society (United Kingdom)
- National Academy of Sciences (United States of America)
- Australian Academy of Sciences
- Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Sciences and the Arts
- Caribbean Academy of Sciences
- Indonesian Academy of Sciences
- Royal Irish Academy
- Academy of Sciences Malaysia
- Academy Council of the Royal Society of New Zealand
- Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
In addition to these national academies, the following institutions specializing in climate, atmosphere, ocean, and/or earth sciences have endorsed or published the same conclusions as presented in the TAR report:
- NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS)
- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
- National Academy of Sciences (NAS)
- State of the Canadian Cryosphere (SOCC)
- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
- Royal Society of the United Kingdom (RS)
- American Geophysical Union (AGU)
- American Institute of Physics (AIP)
- National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)
- American Meteorological Society (AMS)
- Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS)
If this is not scientific consensus, what in the world would a consensus look like?
End of quote
(Some of these observations are from the Moridura Blog July 2009)
Private Eye's phrase, used tongue in cheek by the magazine and by many contributors and letter writers - "I think we should be told ..." is the mantra of the conspiracy theorist.
I don't reject the possibility, or indeed the reality of establishment and government conspiracies, nor of the existence of agents provocateur.
However, I am unimpressed by the eminence of experts.
It was once observed that highly intelligent, eminent people become credulous just at the point ordinary people become sceptical. There were and are eminent scientists who believe, with Archbishop Ussher, that the world was created in 4004 BC and that the theory of evolution must therefore be wrong. There are those today who have not moved one iota beyond the Monkey Trial of the 1920s - the Scopes trial.
There was an excuse for Ussher and his chronology, and for his eminent contemporaries in the 17th century,(Kepler and Newton) who believed much the same. They lived in the very early scientific age, and Darwin had not yet been born.
There is no excuse for tiny number of eminent, well-qualified scientists today who believe in the Ussher chronology - they are in denial, locked in Orwell's doublethink, holding contradictory proposals in their mind at the same time. In Britain, in Blair's faith schools, we have science teachers who hold to this belief. We have entire schools endowed and financed by a rich entrepreneur who believes in the 4004 BC fiction.
Anyone can trot out a list of eminent persons to support their ideas, but a closer examination of the eminent persons themselves is usually necessary if they are in support of an idea that goes against the prevailing consensus. Nonetheless, throughout history, there were those who challenged the prevailing orthodoxy, who were bravely in the minority, and who regrettably often suffered from it. Galileo always pops up in such discussions.
But today, we have the Web, and the most outlandish theories flourish and conspiracy theories abound. The Web is now vital to democracy, to a free world, to the exposure of tyranny, oppression, greed and corruption, so we must tolerate this, and try to sort the wheat from the chaff, the considered arguments of the truth tellers from the ravings of the deluded.
I have no doubt that small to medium conspiracies to defeat the ends of justice and democracy happen every day in America - and in Britain. These have a good chance of success. Ask me to believe that the electorate of the great Western democracies are deceived and misled by their governments every day in many ways, and I will believe it.
But I use Occam's Razor, and tend to come down in favour of the fewest number of assumptions and pieces of evidence that fit the facts.
Of course, once in the conspiracy mindset - a closed logical loop - all evidence is examined selectively and all contrary evidence, including commonsense evidence is denied or ignored. Any loopholes are attributed to the conspiracy.
Arthur Conan Doyle, a doctor, a scientist, the inventor of the logical scientific detective, Sherlock Holmes, believed in the Cottingley Fairies, photographs of paper cutouts and a fantastic story concocted for a laugh by two little girls in the 1920s.
Any magician will tell you that the easiest people to fool are highly intelligent people, especially scientists. In my consultancy career, I dealt with some very highly qualified people indeed, including scientists, and had no difficulty baffling and confusing them with little exercises designed to illuminate particular learning points.
I had however great difficulty with classes of ordinary working men and women, notably shop stewards and union officials, who could spot the con a mile off.
I think a useful touchstone of belief is to ask if there are people whose political and social sympathies ought to be with the conspiracy theory, who nonetheless reject it.
For example, there are many in this category on the 9/11 tragedy.
Truth matters more to me than winning an argument. Faced with the baffling complexity of current affairs, politics and global events in this turbulent information age, how is one to sort the wheat from the chaff? Given that it takes formally constituted inquiries, staffed by experts and fully resourced by ancillary staff, to attempt to reach the truth on major issues how can an individual come to his or her own conclusions?
There has to be intelligent assessment of the available facts, but there also has to be a recognition of the limitations, of time, resources and expertise available to the individual. I could spend a large proportion of my time on any single contested issue, and if I engaged with every enthusiastic, and often dogmatic and intolerant proponent of every issue, I would sink beneath the mass of their totally confident assertions, aggressive parade of highly selective 'facts' and 'experts', and strident demands for responses to their view of an issue, or indeed of life in general.
I make no such demands of others, and I don't expect them to make such demands of me. I offer my opinions, supported by such facts and evidence as I can muster. No one is obliged to read them or take account of them, and since they didn't pay to consume them, they have no right to demand anything of me.
I will - and do - engage in civilised discussions of ideas with those who choose to initiate them, especially when it seems that they have an open inquiring mind. One does not have to seek far on the Web, in online debates, in online newspapers and forums, to find the other kind of debate. If that's what floats your boat, go to these sites.
My approach to controversy is to look around for those I trust, not just those I know personally, but those I know by reputation, by their deeds and by their utterances.
They are often people with ideas I am diametrically opposed to, and I number such people among my friends and intimates. I evaluate facts that I am equipped to evaluate, and look for experts or those with experience that I trust to help me in areas where I am not equipped to evaluate. I listen to advocacy and to honest devil's advocacy, and I engage in devil's advocacy with myself.
This process, developed over many decades, has led me to overturn beliefs that I held strongly for many years, often at some personal cost. I am capable of changing my mind in face of the facts. This is the only way I know. But when someone tries to browbeat me, I am instantly suspicious, as I am equally suspicious when someone tries to flatter me.
Ah didnae come up the Clyde oan a bike, Jimmy.

January: gets drier as the month progresses, it's the start of the 'short dry season'.
Weather & climateWe're often asked "When is the best time to go to Zanzibar?", and the answer is often complex. It will depend on many things including your interests, exactly where you want to visit and why you're travelling. One person's best time can be another's worst! For a beach holiday, the weather and climate is generally the most important factor:
The best time to visit ZanzibarHere is a broad guide to the climate of Zanzibar. Please remember that this comes from records and our experience, not from a crystal ball. Weather patterns across Africa are becoming increasingly unpredictable, probably due to global warming; we're seeing downpours in the middle of deserts and damaging droughts when rains should be falling.
Just south of the equator, Zanzibar's weather pattern follows that of Tanzania very closely – although always tends to be a little more humid – and occasional rain in the dry season is less uncommon than in the heart of the mainland Tanzania.
Generally the main rainy season, or the 'long rains', last during March, April and May. Afternoon tropical downpours are the norm – which can be heavy on any of the islands. The humidity is high and daily temperatures reach the low-mid 30°s.
The long dry season, when rainfall is fairly unusual, lasts throughout June, July, August, September and October. Temperatures vary hugely with altitude and location, but it's usually a fine, clear sky and sunny weather – it's a great time to visit Zanzibar. During November and December there's another rainy season: the 'short rains'. These are much lighter than the main rains and less reliable.
If it has rained during the short rains, then it normally dries up for a few months, January and February, which is Tanzania's 'short dry season', before starting to rain again in earnest in March.
Combining the wildebeest migration with a trip to ZanzibarMany travellers will combine time on Zanzibar's beaches with a visit to northern Tanzania, for the Serengeti wildebeest migration. This breathtaking spectacle can be seen at any time of year – provided you know where to look! Between one and two million wildebeest, escorted by zebra and gazelle, criss-cross the Serengeti in search of fresh grasslands and water. Where the animals migrate is predictable to some extent, depending on the rainfall. Ask us for details about the migration, and about when and where to go to get best out of your trip, or click on the following link:
► Serengeti's wildebeest migration
It's very east to combine these two highlights of Tanzania; flight to Zanzibar leave airstrips in the Serengeti every day (usually before noon) – and arrive in Zanzibar well before dusk.
Weather in other African countriesFor comparison, see similar climate charts and information for our other African destinations:
► Botswana climate – Slightly different weather pattern from Zanzibar, with shorter rains.
► Congo climate – Somewhat different weather pattern from Zanzibar.
► Kenya climate – Kenya's coast has got a similar weather pattern.
► Malawi climate – Slightly different weather pattern from Zanzibar with a shorter rainy season.
► Mozambique climate – Slightly different weather pattern from Zanzibar's.
► Namibia climate – Much less rain than Zanzibar, with a slightly similar pattern.
► Rwanda climate – Slightly different weather pattern from Zanzibar.
► Seychelles climate – Different weather pattern from Zanzibar's weather.
► Cape of South Africa climate – Completely different weather pattern from Zanzibar's.
► Tanzania climate – Mainland Tanzania has similar weather patterns to that experienced by Zanzibar.
► Zambia climate –Different weather pattern from Zanzibar.
► Zimbabwe climate – Weather follows a different pattern to Zanzibar, with a shorter rainy season.

The Bachelor's Juan Pablo Galavis offered a very candid answer when he was asked his thoughts about the possibility of a gay bachelor starring on the ABC hit reality series.
"I respect [gay people], but I honestly don't think it is a good example for kids to watch that on TV," the former Venezuelan soccer star told The TV Page on Friday, Jan. 17 at a network party in Pasadena, Calif.
"Obviously people have their husband and wife and kids and that is how we are brought up," Galavis says in an audio recording. "Now there is fathers having kids and all that, and it is hard for me to understand that too in the sense of a household having peoples. Two parents sleeping in the same bed and the kid going into bed. It is confusing in a sense."
U.S. & World
PHOTOS: The Bachelor: Where are they now?
The single dad to daughter Camilla added that he "respects" gay couples and their desires "to have kids," as well as they are "more pervert in a sense."
"They want to be parents," the first Latino bachelor added. "So it is a scale. Where do you put it on the scale? Where is the thin line to cross or not? You have to respect everybody's desires and way of living. But it would be too hard for TV."
A request for comment from reps and ABC were not immediately returned.

They are among the first words we teach our children: Thank you.
When the lady behind the bakery counter at the grocery hands your little one a free cookie, you beam with pride when that small voice says, "T'ank you."
We insist on children writing thank you notes, even if it means they are written under duress. That giant t, crooked h, sloping a, backward n, drooping k and s that runs off the page are a monumental achievement.
One small step for a 6-year-old, one giant leap for mankind.
No matter what your age, it is always nice, not to mention appropriate, to say thank you. Making eye contact when you say it doesn't hurt either.
Saying thank you is a fundamental expression of humanity. It is the way we acknowledge our own indebtedness and another's kindness. In that brief moment when we say thanks, we hit pause, slow the rapid-fire pace and enjoy the moment, the thoughtfulness, the consideration, the goodness.
And yet this delightful morsel called thankfulness, which imbues the spirit, brings satisfaction to the heart and contentment to the soul, seems to be an occasional occurrence rather than a perpetual frame of mind.
What holds us back from being continually thankful? So many things, really. Bad attitudes, lack of perspective, changing circumstances.
It is a far greater challenge to maintain thankfulness when circumstances press against us than when they align in our favor. Am I thankful only when things are going my way and the road is easy? Or do I have a perspective that allows me to count my blessings when uncertainty and hardship are my new best friends?
The Puritans, despite pummeling by untrue stereotypes, were a most remarkable group of people. The fortitude and resilience they displayed were heroic. They knew hardship both in the old world and in the new. The Pilgrim-Puritan legacy is not really that long wooden table loaded with wild game and playing field games with the Indians. Their true legacy is character. They sustained faithfulness and thankfulness under dire circumstances. Despite what should have been crushing deprivation, they persevered and remained clear-headed visionaries. Puritan John Geree wrote that the Puritan motto was "Vincit qui patitur." That is Latin for "He who suffers conquers."
The Puritans embraced all of life as a test of their faithfulness. (Many do the same today, but flip the equation and test God's faithfulness, not man's.) The Puritans were thankful for the material gifts of the harvest and shelter, but they also knew that what was in abundant supply one season could be gone the next. More importantly, they were thankful to, and for, the Giver of the gifts.
Thanksgiving is more than the fourth Thursday in November. It is more than the Macy's Parade and a wonderful meal. Thanksgiving is a habit of the heart. It is an attitude, a benchmark of maturity and a measure of faithfulness.
The Psalmist says, "Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, for His loving kindness is everlasting." The Psalmist is right.
Hopefully, we can give thanks more than once a year.

Interest Grows Among Republicans for Emerson Seat
JEFFERSON CITY - A chance to represent southeastern Missouri in Congress is drawing plenty of interest from officials looking at succeeding Republican U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson.
Emerson announced Monday she is leaving Congress in February after first winning the seat in 1996. Newly elected state Sen. Wayne Wallingford, of Cape Girardeau, is interested, and state House member Todd Richardson, of Poplar Bluff, is exploring the possibility.
State Sen. Dan Brown, of Rolla, and Cape Girardeau County Associate Circuit Judge Scott are considering it.
Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder says he is giving it "careful thought and consideration," and Republican Party Executive Director Lloyd Smith says he will "carefully consider" the opportunity.
Also expressing interest are former State Treasurer Sarah Steelman, state lawmaker Kevin Engler and state House member Jason Smith.

4:00AM Sunday Jul 05, 2009
By Alice Neville
They love our clean, green image but are baffled by our tax laws – a comprehensive survey of migrants has revealed for the first time what new Kiwis like and loathe about Aotearoa.
The survey, carried out by the Department of Labour and Statistics New Zealand, is the biggest of its kind, tracking 7000 people over their first three years here.
About one in four migrants had experienced at least one incident of discrimination.
Those from Asia and in the "other" category were most likely to have experienced it in a public place or work setting.
"I think the employers are giving priority to the people who have New zealand experience.
"The problem is if nobody's willing to give me a job, how can I get New Zealand experience?"

Mushboy and Salty have been best friends for long time. Together they have faced a world that was not always kind and understanding. They formed a bond that was deep and unbreakable.
Salty taught Mushboy the importance of communication, the value of friendship, how to take pride in hard work, and how to love. The biggest lesson of all was to believe in himself and no matter what have faith and courage to never give up.
When he was younger, Mushboy would often joke that they two of them were like superheroes. You would find him on Salty's back just sitting as Salty wandered around the pasture.
Today they both donned their super hero costumes and went on their final adventure. They reminisced about all of the years they have been together. About Trudy the chicken, school, and high school graduation. Mushboy thanked him for everything he had done to make his life better.
With love, gratitude, and tears Salty the Wonderhorse was laid to rest today. He is now performing his super hero duties in God's herd.
Salty thank you for seeing Mushboy through school, for being the co-founder of the He Man Gelding Club, for enriching all of our lives. All of the herd and humans will miss you greatly.
Have a great day and don't forget to hug your DOR!

Sharing a link to a Web page is a common activity on the PC, and it gets better with IE10 on Windows 8. One of the new features on Windows 8 is the Share charm, which allows you to seamlessly send content between apps on your PC. Previously, if you wanted to share an interesting article with your friend, or post a funny picture on your blog, you'd copy the link from the address bar, switch to a different site or app, and then paste it. Now, with the Windows 8 Share charm, you can share directly from the browser without ever leaving your current page.
When you use the Share charm to share a site from the browser, IE10 creates two data formats that contain relevant content – the URI, and some HTML that includes a rich representation of the page. Here are two examples of data that get shared for a YouTube video:
The URI (of the current site)
The HTML (with a link preview)
An example of IE10's rich preview of Web pages
Both of these data formats are created for an "implicit" share, which is the name for what happens when you share the site that you are currently viewing. Since Web pages can be represented as hyperlinks or a rich HTML link preview, IE10 includes both types of data. Of course, if you aren't sharing the whole page, but rather, some content that you've highlighted, IE10 will share the HTML of your selection instead of the URI and the link preview. In this case, sharing a selection would be called an "explicit" share, and does not include the link. This post describes the link sharing case, how IE10 participates in the Windows 8 Share contract using HTML, and how Web developers can create link previews with just a few meta-tags.
The Share Charm and IE10
Here's a video of how a user might share links from the browser to an app that uses HTML.
Sharing from IE10: Link Previews in Action
In this video, "Stash" is a sample link saving app that makes use of the Windows share charm with HTML. The sample app simply supports the HTML data format for sharing, and IE provides the link preview. Link previews are HTML that contains a title, image, and description for every shared link. This makes it easy for you to recognize the site content. If you have Windows 8 Consumer Preview and Visual Studio 11 Beta, you can download and run Stash on your own PC. Stash integrates with the Windows 8 Share contract as a target app, as you can see below. Below, you can see a high-level diagram that shows how links are shared from IE10.
Diagram: Sharing a link from IE10 to target apps, using the Share charm's data package
Windows 8 Share charm handles the coordination between the source and target apps to provide an integrated sharing experience across all apps. This removes the need for target and source apps to be aware and coordinate between each other.
Sharing the Web is Better, Start to Finish
The Web is made up of HTML. That's why HTML is one of the most important data formats in IE10's integration with the Share contract. IE10 creates link previews to both provide a better sharing experience for users, and to help connect Web developers to Windows 8 Share. With a little extra meta-data markup, sites can define what information is included in their link previews. On the other end of the share contract, target apps that support the HTML data format can get the full experience of contextual Web hyperlinks without having to parse a single site. The end result is a rich, modern, and fluid sharing experience, from end to end.

Screenshot of Stash's Share Pane
When you share a Web site, IE10 parses that site to create a link preview. In the example above, it's a short snippet of content that represents a movie page on IMDb. The goal of sharing HTML, in addition to the URI, is to share the best possible representation of what the user intended to share, so IE10 creates link previews for all implicit shares. The benefits of HTML are that it can include more information than a URI, and the content of the HTML is more meaningful than a hyperlink. In the words of Leslie Knope, no one wants to share that "complicated nonsense."
From NBC's Parks and Recreation, Season 4, Episode 16
Depending on the target app, though, sometimes rich content is not the best kind of data, and a URI is more useful. For example, blogging apps can take advantage of rich HTML content, and SMS apps would do best to use the URI. Developers of Metro style apps choose the data format(s) that make most sense for their app to receive, following the Windows 8 Share guidance.
Sites Use Markup to Define What IE10 Shares
Since IE10 uses existing markup meant for sharing on the Web, many sites will already look great when sharing HTML link previews on Windows 8. We support the Open Graph protocol as a simple way to add meta-data about the page. When users share sites on Facebook and through Windows 8 and IE10, you can use OpenGraph to control the way your Web page appears to others.
Here's an example of an IE test drive demo that uses this markup:
<meta name="description" content="Brick Breaker TestDrive Demo Game, Performance and Touch benchmark" />
<title>Brick Breaker</title>
<meta property="og:image" content="Views/Homepage/Icons/BrickBreaker.png" />
IE looks for the following tags in the site's markup to create the page's link preview.
|HTML tag
|Character limit
|Title 1
|<meta name="title" content="Insert Site Title Here" />
|Title 2
|<title>Insert Site Title Here</title>
|<meta name="description" content="Insert Site Description Here" />
|Image 1
|<meta property="og:image" content="insert_image_link_here" />
|2,048 (limit for image URI)
|Image 2
|<link rel="image_src" href="insert_image_link_here" />
|2,048 (limit for image URI)
|Image 3
|<meta name="image" content="insert_image_link_here" />
|2,048 (limit for image URI)
|Image 4
|<meta name="thumbnail" content="insert_image_link_here" />
|2,048 (limit for image URI)
Note that this is the order in which we parse for each attribute. For example, if both Image 1 and Image 2 tags are present, we'll use the Image 1 tag. Additionally, if more than one tag of any type is present, we use the first one you list in your markup.
For character limits, if the description is longer than the maximum length, IE will put a "…" at the end in the preview.
Make sure to include at least one of each property in your site markup to get your pages looking great for sharing in Windows 8. See this demo on the IE Test Drive site for more on how the markup works.
Apps Get the Benefit of a Powerful Web Browser
If your app supports the Share target app contract, you should consider whether it makes sense for it to support HTML as a shared data format. Apps that use HTML can benefit from the link previews shared by IE10 because IE10 does all of the heavy lifting. It parses the site and puts together a short and informative link preview, and all your app needs to do is display and host the HTML. The hyperlink is embedded within the preview, so it functions just like a Uri, but looks much better. This way, apps that don't have the resources to parse the Web to condense pages into small, rich previews, can still display contextual links as HTML.
Many apps, in addition to IE10, will share HTML. Target apps that accept HTML must be agnostic about the source of the shared data. As noted above, IE10 shares HTML for both implicit and explicit sharing scenarios, so sometimes the HTML is a link preview, and sometimes it's a user selection. In either case, the content of the HTML is the best possible representation of what the user intended to share. Here's a snippet of what the link preview HTML generated by IE10 will look like when it's added to the Share charm's Data Package:
/* IE10\uc1\u8217?s metro-style CSS attributes */

Website description goes here
For an example of an app that uses HTML from IE10, download the sample app "Stash" seen in the video above. This app demonstrates how a Metro style app can use HTML data as a share target.
Here's a code snippet from the app, which shows how Stash uses HTML sent from the Share charm.
function activatedHandler(eventArgs) {
// In this sample we only do something if it was activated with the Share contract
if (eventArgs.detail.kind
=== Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation.ActivationKind.shareTarget) {
// We receive the ShareOperation object as part of the eventArgs
var shareOperation = eventArgs.detail.shareOperation;
if (shareOperation.data.contains(
Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer.StandardDataFormats.html)) {
function (htmlFormat) {
// Extract the HTML fragment from the HTML format
var htmlFragment = Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer
// Display the HTML in the Share pane.
id("htmlArea").innerHTML = htmlFragment;
The above code lets Stash accept HTML when the user selects it as their Share target. For more on developing a Share target app on Windows 8, see the MSDN Quickstart page for receiving shared content.
Happy sharing!

Some of the apps discussed in this blog entry were developed with an older adware SDK that did not contain opt-in provisions, particularly regarding the ability to collect information and display ads outside of the original app. The adware SDK has since been updated to this capability to comply with Google's developer policies; apps that use this newer version are no longer considered high-risk.
More details about this change can be found in our December 2012 Monthly Mobile Review: The Hidden Risk Behind Mobile Ad Networks.
Our monitoring of popular Android app stores during the latter weeks of August revealed that the number of apps detected as ANDROIDOS_PLANKTON variants has increased rapidly.
ANDROIDOS_PLANKTON was initially uncovered by North Carolina State University two months ago and was noted for its capability to download payloads and execute commands from a remote user. The discovery was also dubbed "largest Android malware outbreak ever" because of the millions of apps that contained dubious code similar to PLANKTON. During our research, the presence of this malware grew in Google Play between August 19 – 25.
Another notable trend we saw in our monitoring is the fact that the number of adware disguised as normal apps has increased. Adware are known to display multiple ads on an infected device to possibly generate profit for its developers. The most number of adware available on these websites were ANDROIDOS_ADWIZP, ANDROIDOS_AIRPUSH, ANDROIDOS_ADSWO, ANDROIDOS_LEADBOLT.
Trend Micro customers are now protected from these, as the Trend Micro Mobile Security for Android detects these malicious apps. It prevents installation of these malicious apps on mobile devices.
Malware disguised as Android apps are not fading from the threat landscape anytime soon. For their part, users should always be cautious before downloading apps. Being informed about the reputation of the app and its developers can come a long way when it comes to securing your mobile devices.
To know more about how to secure your devices, you may refer to the following Digital Life e-Guides:
