The Sweet and Savory Sugar Substitute
Taking charge of your dietary choices and your health does not have to come about at the expense of your favorite, sweet foods. It is possible to enjoy your favorite treats such as smoothies, baked goods and more without worrying about your sugar and calorie intake. How is this possible? Stevia!
What is stevia?
Stevia is a sugar alternative that derives from a plant originating from South America that can be consumed in liquid, powder, or tablet form. Its leaves provide a compound called Rebiana A or Reb-A, which is the source of the sweetness of our Stevia. Unlike sugar, our Stevia is natural, safe, calorie-free, and up to 400 times sweeter than sugar.
Benefits of Stevia:
- An All-Natural Source of Sweetness
Our Stevia formula consists of Reb-A 97%, extracted directly from the Stevia leaf making it the safest sweetener available in the American market today. Contrary to other sweeteners such as artificial sugars, Stevia is the most natural alternative for those who which to avoid sugar and reach all kinds of health goals.
- Zero Calories, Zero Carbs
Since Stevia is plant-based, our sugar substitute has zero calories or carbs. Although the market provides plenty of calorie-free sweetener options, they are typically synthetically produced and do not have the health benefits that Stevia can offer.
- Stevia Does Not Affect Glucose Levels
Using our Stevia as recommended will not have a negative effect on your glucose levels. This is due to our Stevia being a natural, calorie-free product that does not function in a negative manner like regular sugar. On the contrary, evidence has indicated that consuming Stevia can actually reduce glucose levels.
- Does not affect dental health
Among the various drawbacks of consuming regular sugar are the harmful, long-term effects that the sweetener can have on your teeth such as tooth decay, cavities, and more. Since Stevia is not like sugar and does not contain fermentable carbohydrates, it is considered non-acidogenic. This means that Stevia does not have the negative components that lead to tooth decay, erosion, and caries.
- Can Be Used for Baking and Cooking
Apart from having the option to add Stevia to your favorite beverages, you can bake and cook with it too. Add liquid or powder Stevia to your baking recipes and favorite dishes and experiment with our wide variety of flavors from creamy vanilla, strawberry, peach, hazelnut and many more.
Conditions Stevia Can Help Treat:
- Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium that is transmitted to humans through the bite of a tick. Research has shown that the regular use of Stevia has been effective in preventing and fighting the bacteria that causes the disease. As a result, Stevia is a promising alternative since the vector-borne disease is growing at a concerning pace in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
- Diabetes
The sweetness of sugar is often deemed as a no-go, non-negotiable ingredient when it comes to food but it does not have to be! Our Stevia is a delicious and nutritious alternative that does not increase the levels of glucose in your body and helps eradicate the calories, carbs, and other negative side effects from your diet that traditional sugar commonly causes.
- High Blood Pressure
Recent research has provided evidence that has further developed the potential of Stevia with regard to helping maintain or lowering blood pressure. Depending on your health goals or if you experience low blood pressure, please consult with your physician or healthcare provider to determine the best dosage for you.
- Weight Loss
Stevia is also effective in promoting healthy weight loss. Typically, weight loss journeys entitle a change in food choices and lifestyle; hence, eliminating unhealthy foods that have very low nutritional value. Stevia can help replace those foods with nutritious treats that are just as enjoyable to your taste buds. As a result, the combination of an active lifestyle plus a nutritious diet supported by Stevia can encourage weight loss.

Suggested Use for Stevia:
Lightly sprinkle and stir Stevia to your water, coffee, tea, or any food or beverage of your choice. The amount added can be adjusted based on personal preference. However, please consider that our Stevia is typically up to 400 times sweeter than sugar. A little goes a long way!
If you are allergic to ragweed or plants within the Asteraceae family, you may be sensitive to stevia. Please consult with your healthcare provider before using this product.
If you have low blood pressure, please consult with your healthcare provider before using this product.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – An aging population poses challenges for governments around the globe as nations grapple with how to satisfy the physical, social and economic needs of older adults. About 126 million adults 65 years and older live in China – the country with the largest population of senior citizens, while 40 million adults 65 years and older live in the United States.
In an article published today in Journal of Transcultural Nursing, University of Louisville School of Nursing assistant professor Valerie Lander McCarthy, PhD, RN; Ji Hong, MSN, a visiting scholar from Shandong University, China; and Jiying Ling, PhD, MS, RN, post-graduate fellow, Michigan State University College of Nursing, explore whether a broader definition of successful aging could positively influence research, clinical practice and health policy in the United States and China.
McCarthy argues it is unrealistic to measure positive aging solely on good physical and cognitive function and active social engagement, as traditionally defined by J. W. Rowe, M.D., and Robert L. Kahn.
"In reality the definition applies to only about 10-percent of the older adult population, then older adults feel guilty when they get sick because they think they are not succeeding – and in the U.S. succeeding is important. In China, individual success is not as important, but the negative effect of the cost to care for the older population is a major problem," McCarthy said.
Even in the presence of chronic illness and functional limitations, older adults still report aging successfully, McCarthy said. She concludes nurse scientist Meredith Flood's definition is most accurate. Flood describes successful aging as a person's ability to cope and adapt while maintaining a sense of connectedness and meaning in life.
Building on Flood's ideas, McCarthy's own studies have found transcendence – a sense of meaning, well-being and life satisfaction, to be the best predictor of positive aging. The concept involves relationships, creativity, contemplation, introspection and spirituality. Thanks to a grant from the nursing honor society Sigma Theta Tau International and the National Gerontological Nurses Association, she is working to develop a program of activities to increase transcendence.
An example of one intervention involves a time for quiet solitude in natural beauty followed by a discussion about a person's outlook, helping to develop a broadened perspective on life or a feeling of being an integral part of the cycle of life. A second example may provide an opportunity for storytelling, increasing a sense of belonging to a group.
"Successful aging is important for the rapidly growing population of older adults and their families and caregivers," McCarthy said. "It also is significant for society as a whole, which will bear the burden of unprecedented demands on health and social services. This is one reason we are developing interventions to increase positive aging."

Experts have called for large-scale studies into altering the make-up of bacteria in the gut, after a review showed that this might reduce the symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Experts have called for large-scale studies into altering the make-up of bacteria in the gut, after a review showed that this might reduce the symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Until now, caregivers have relied on rehabilitation, educational interventions and drugs to reduce ASD symptoms, but now researchers suggest that treating this condition could be as simple as changing their diet.
A review of more than 150 papers on ASD and gut bacteria found that since the 1960s, scientists have been reporting links between the composition of bacteria in the gut and autistic behaviour. The review highlights many studies showing that restoring a healthy balance in gut bacteria can treat ASD symptoms.
"To date there are no effective therapies to treat this range of brain developmental disorders", explains Dr Qinrui Li of Peking University, China. "The number of people being diagnosed with ASD is on the rise. As well as being an expensive condition to manage, ASD has a huge emotional and social cost on families of sufferers".
The link between the gut and ASD is well-known among sufferers: problems like diarrhoea, constipation and flatulence are commonly reported. The root of gastro-intestinal problems like these is an imbalance of "good" and "bad" bacteria in the gut.
A cheap and effective treatment?
Many of the papers reviewed support the idea of a gut-brain axis - a way in which factors in the gut can affect processes in the brain. So these gastro-intestinal problems may have a more sinister side. The overgrowth of bad bacteria in the gut inevitably leads to an overproduction of by-products - including toxins. These can make the gut lining more permeable. Then toxins, by-products and even undigested food can get into the bloodstream and travel to the brain.
In a child under three years old, whose brain is at the height of development, the presence of these chemicals can impair neuro-development, leading to ASD.
What causes infants to develop an imbalance in the gut microbiota?
"ASD is likely to be a result of both genetic and environmental factors" explains Dr Li. "The environmental factors include the overuse of antibiotics in babies, maternal obesity and diabetes during pregnancy, how a baby is delivered and how long it is breastfed. All of these can affect the balance of bacteria in an infant's gut, so are risk factors for ASD".
However, the researchers found a significant body of evidence that reverting the gut microbiota to a healthy state can reduce ASD symptoms.
"Efforts to restore the gut microbiota to that of a healthy person has been shown to be really effective" continues Dr Li. "Our review looked at taking probiotics, prebiotics, changing the diet - for example, to gluten- and casein-free diets, and faecal matter transplants. All had a positive impact on symptoms ".
These include such things as increased sociability, a reduction in repetitive behaviour, and improved social communication: all hugely beneficial to the life of an ASD sufferer.
The message of this review is one of positivity. This could well be a breakthrough in the treatment of this disorder. However, the researchers believe that the studies are too few and too small, and that new clinical trials are needed to take this research to the next level.
"We are encouraged by our findings, but there is no doubt that further work needs to be carried out in this field" says Dr Li. "We need more well-designed and larger-scale studies to support our theory. For now, behavioural therapies remain the best way to treat ASD. We would hope that our review leads to research on the link between the gut microbiota and ASD, and eventually a cheap and effective treatment".

Published: Jan 7, 2015
Have you ever talked to someone that was very passionate about something? It is easy to see that their passion drives a lot of their actions and decisions. The ability to satisfy this desire can play a large role in a person's overall well being. Unfortunately, most of us are faced with finding time among everything else in their life to pursue this labor of love.
My passion is learning. I love to learn things. I love to learn about lots of different things. To combat the finite time we have have I decided to try to engineer a better learning strategy.
A good portion of what I am seeking to learn is based on the demands of my career. It seems that with each day, the software industry doubles the speed at which it moves. A quick glance on twitter or hacker news can leave even seasoned developers with a feeling of imposter syndrome.
Though much of this post will focus on the quest for technical knowledge, I must state that it is important to expose yourself to a wider variety of subjects. By broadening your horizons, you allow yourself the room to gain different perspectives than you initially may have. This is how new ideas are conceived.
Here is how I go about learning:

Библиотека сайта rus-linux.net
6.2. Usage
- >
The greater than symbol is used to send information somewhere (for example a text file)
cat file1 file2 > file1_and_2.txt
This will concatenate the files together into one big file named "file1_and_2.txt". Note that this will overwrite any existing file.
- <
The less than symbol will insert information from somewhere (a text file) as if you typed it yourself. Often used with commands that are designed to get information from standard input only.
For example (using tr):
tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' < fileName.txt > fileNameNew.txt
The example above would insert the contents of "fileName.txt" into the input of tr and output the results to "fileNameNew.txt".
- >>
The >> symbol appends (adds) information to the end of a file or creates one if the file doesn't exist.
- <<
The << symbol is sometimes used with commands that use standard input to take information. You simply type << word (where word can be any string) at the end of the command. However its main use is in shell scripting.
The command takes your input until you type "word", which causes the command to terminate and process the input.
Using << is similar to using CTRL-D (EOF key), except it uses a string to perform the end-of-file function. This design allows it to be used in shell scripts.
For example type "cat" (with no options...) and it will work on standard input.
To stop entering standard input you would normally hit CTRL-D .
As an alternative you can type "cat << FINISHED", then type what you want.
When you are finished, instead of hitting CTRL-D you could type "FINISHED" and it will end (the word FINISHED will not be recorded).
- 2>
Redirects error output. For example, to redirect the error output to /dev/null, so you do not see it, simply append this to the end of another command...
For example:
make some_file 2> /dev/null
This will run make on a file and send all error output to /dev/null
- |
The "pipe" command allows the output of one command to be sent to the input of another.
For example:
cat file1.txt file2.txt | less
Concatenates the files together, then runs less on them. If you are only going to look at a single file, you would simply use less on the file...
- tee
Sends output of a program to a file and to standard output. Think of it as a T intersection...it goes two ways.
For example:
ls /home/user | tee my_directories.txt
Lists the files (displays the output on the screen) and sends the output to a file: "my_directories.txt".
- &>
Redirects standard output and error output to a specific location.
For example:
make &> /dev/null
Sends both error output and standard output to /dev/null so you won't see anything...

"What's slower than a speeding bullet, and able to hit a tall building at a single bound?" Airplane was a satirical, slap-stick comedy released in 1980. In other parts of the world, the movie was titled Flying High. The movie borrowed some things from past movies, including a movie called Zero Hour (1957) and another called Airport 1975. The movie was a great financial success and is still considered one of the funniest movies ever released. The movie starred Robert Hays as Ted Striker, Julie Hagerty as Elaine Dickinson, Leslie Nielsen as Dr. Rumack, Lloyd Bridges as Steve McCroskey, Robert Stack as Captain Rex Kramer, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as Roger Murdock. A sequel was released in 1982 with cast additions like William Shatner.
In the original movie, Ted Striker is a shell-shocked, retired fighter pilot who is afraid to fly. His girlfriend, Elaine, is a flight attendant, and his shenanigans force her to leave him. In an attempt to win her back, Striker boards a plane. When everyone on board, including the pilots, become incapacitated from a sickness they get from eating tainted fish, Elaine is forced to set the plane on auto-pilot, which is essentially a blow-doll named Otto. Without somebody to land it, the plane is destined to crash.
After tower supervisor calls Striker's old commanding officer, Rex Kramer, the ground crew goes about the business of convincing Striker to grow a pair and to land the plane. And, he does! The movie ends with the emptied plane taking back off with Otto once again at the helm, and a female blow-up companion in the co-pilot seat.

Oxytocin: It's a mom and pop thing
The hormone oxytocin has come under intensive study in light of emerging evidence that its release contributes to the social bonding that occurs between lovers, friends, and colleagues. Oxytocin also plays an important role in birth and maternal behavior, but until now, research had never addressed the involvement of oxytocin in the transition to fatherhood.
A fascinating new paper by Gordon and colleagues reports the first longitudinal data on oxytocin levels during the initiation of parenting in humans. They evaluated 160 first-time parents (80 couples) twice after the birth of their first child, at 6 weeks and 6 months, by measuring each parents' oxytocin levels and monitoring and coding their parenting behavior.
Three important findings emerged. At both time-points, fathers' oxytocin levels were not different from levels observed in mothers. Thus, although oxytocin release is stimulated by birth and lactation in mothers, it appears that other aspects of parenthood serve to stimulate oxytocin release in fathers.
Corresponding author Dr. Ruth Feldman noted that this finding "emphasizes the importance of providing opportunities for father-infant interactions immediately after childbirth in order to trigger the neuro-hormonal system that underlies bond formation in humans."
The neuroscientists also found a relationship between oxytocin levels in husbands and wives. Since oxytocin levels are highly stable within individuals, this finding suggests that some mechanisms, perhaps social or hormonal factors, regulate oxytocin levels in an interactive way within couples.
Finally, the findings revealed that oxytocin levels were associated with parent-specific styles of interaction. Oxytocin was higher in mothers who provided more affectionate parenting, such as more gazing at the infant, expression of positive affect, and affectionate touch. In fathers, oxytocin was increased with more stimulatory contact, encouragement of exploration, and direction of infant attention to objects.
"It is very interesting that elevations in the same hormone were associated with different types of parenting behaviors in mothers and fathers even though the levels of oxytocin within couples were somewhat correlated. These differences may reflect the impact of culture-specific role expectations, but they also may be indicative of distinct circuit effects of oxytocin in the male and female brain," commented Dr. John Krystal, Editor of Biological Psychiatry.
These important findings may now provide a foundation for studies of disturbances in oxytocin function in high risk parenting.

The Clover Amour Soft Grip Crochet Hooks are a favourite of many crocheters. The hooks are easy to hold for both pencil and knife grips. They are ergonomically shaped and have a flattened thumb rest. This allows you to relax your grip on the hook which in turn improves your stitch tension and of course the stress on your muscles. This is especially noticeable for the smaller hook sizes, compared to standard metal hooks.
The head of the hook is slightly pointed, making it easier to insert your hook into (tight) stitches. The handle of the hook measures 10cm (4in), and the shaft and head measure 4cm (2.5in). Together this makes for a crochet hook that's 14cm (5.5in). Each hook comes in its own colour, making it easier to recognize which size is which and to remember the size you used for a project. This set contains a 2.0mm, 2.50mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm, 5.5mm and a 6.0mm hook. The hooks all fit in a base pad that's included with the set.
The major difference between Etimo Tulip Soft Grip Crochet Hooks and these hooks is that the groove below the head of the hook is rounded. This means that your stitches 'hook' behind your hook better and are less likely to slip off of your needle. However, depending on your method of crocheting this can also mean that your stitches might get 'hooked' behind your hook. It all depends on your method of crocheting and if you are in doubt between the two brands, we recommend you try one of each before ordering a set.
Could you use some help with the different ways of indicating hook sizes for a project? We've put together a crochet hook conversion chart for you!

Before college, the only time I'd ever shared a room with someone was at sleep-away camp. Living in a bunk with a dozen other girls was certainly an experience but I was still nervous about moving in with my freshman roommate. We'd talked on Facebook but never met in person and all of a sudden we were supposed to live together harmoniously.
Not only did we survive that first year without killing each other but we successfully lived together sophomore year and will be moving back in together in August for year number three. Pretty good for a first roommate experience! While I lucked out in finding someone I'm totally compatible with, I think our trick was abiding by several unwritten rules.
First and foremost is respect. We never touch each other's things (including food) unless we get permission to. At the same time, there are certain things we share: Her printer is mine to use as I need it (as long as I help pay for ink), she has full privileges with my television and then there was the time we bought a jar of Nutella together. Respect also involves being quiet when you come in at 3 a.m. and keeping sexiling to a bare minimum (no pun intended).
Compromising is important as well. You'll have to learn to go to sleep with the lights on now and then (I did) or plug in your headphones if your roommate wants to turn in early. If you both go in knowing that you'll have to give a little, you'll make each other's transition much easier.
In my opinion, the most important aspect of living together is liking each other! You don't have to be BFFs but spend some time together and find something to bond over. Do you both hate the Yankees? Are you both huge OneRepublic fans? Heck, do you both like Nutella? It can be the littlest things that form a great relationship and make living together a pleasure.

The proliferation of dynamic cloud solutions can be a major benefit for your business.
Many organizations are considering cloud computing a solution for the problems that their mounting IT costs cause. Since cloud solutions are generally billed monthly, the cost becomes a solid operating expense. To avoid overwhelming capital outlays, companies have begun utilizing cloud-based systems for hosting their communications (phone, email) and even their entire computing infrastructure.

July 24, 1776, Congressional President John Hancock scolds Major General Philip Schuyler. In a letter, Hancock accuses the officer of tolerating discord among soldiers from different states under his command. Disappointed, Hancock told Schuyler that Congress was "concerned to find there should be a necessity of recommending harmony to the officers and troops of different States under your command" can show greater weakness or wickedness than to throw provincial reflections on one another, which must have direct tendency to impede public service, and weaken the union of the American States.
Schuyler was likely ill-prepared to deal with the diversity of enlisted men under his command, coming mainly from the lower ranks of society. They were brought together only by their common desire to defeat the British. He himself had a much different background as the product of the moneyed, inbred society of the New York elite. His mother, Cornelia Van Cortlandt, and his wife, Catherine Van Rensselaer, were both from high-society New York Dutch families. Schuyler served briefly in the Continental Congress before receiving his commission as a major general in the Continental Army and taking command of the Northern Department. In this capacity, he orchestrated the disastrous, pre-emptive invasion of Canada in 1775, although another brigadier general and fellow New Yorker, Richard Montgomery, had to take command when Schuyler's health began to fail. Montgomery went on to lose his life in the failed attack on Quebec City on December 31, 1775.
Schuyler was relieved of his post and replaced by General Horatio Gates after the loss of Fort Ticonderoga in April 1777. Schuyler demanded a court martial in order to defend his reputation. Vindicated by the proceedings, he resigned from the army and returned to service in the Continental Congress. Following the War for Independence, he supported the federal Constitution and served two stints in the United States Senate before his health forced him into retirement. His family, however, retained power and influence. His daughter, Elizabeth, married Alexander Hamilton in 1780.

Octomom House Officially Foreclosed
Octomom House Officially Foreclosed
Octomom Nadya Suleman has just hosed the owner of the house she's living in, because the house officially went back to the bank after a disastrous foreclosure auction.
Amer Haddadin, the man who owned the La Habra home, tells TMZ ... the auction took place this morning, but no one bid on the property, so it went back to the bank. FYI the opening bid was $355,643 ... but no takers.
So, you ask, how did Octo hose Amer? Well she wasn't paying the money that was supposed to go toward the monthly mortgage payment, Amer couldn't cover it himself, so he lost the property.
As for Octo, the bank will have to initiate eviction proceedings to kick her and her brood out.

Planning for a 2nd property
Are you considering buying a San Juan County property as a second home or investment? Perhaps you are looking for a small cottage or apartment where you can escape for vacation, or maybe you want to have another home closer to family. Maybe you want to rent out your second property and make a steady income from your investment. Whatever the reason, a second piece of real estate can be a fantastic investment. However, sometimes getting a mortgage on your second home can be a challenge.
Generally, a mortgage lender will have tougher standards for second home loans than primary home loans. This is because usually when you are buying a second home your finances will be stretched thinner and you will have less money to spare because you are already paying a mortgage on your primary home. This will mean that your second home mortgage can be harder to get and might have a higher interest rate.
Here are some tips to keep in mind that will help you to get the best mortgage on your second property: Build up a decent amount of savings. Your mortgage lender will want to be able to see that you have a large amount of savings so that you will have enough to pay for the mortgage even if you were to lose your job.
Pay off any credit card debt. Many lenders will be hesitant to approve your second home mortgage if they see that you have a lot of debt on your credit card. They will want to see that you have a low debt to income ratio so that you will be able to pay back the loan.
Use the first mortgage as a good reference. If you have always made your payments on time and you are most of the way through paying off your first house, you could ask someone from your current mortgage company to vouch for you. The lender for your second mortgage will be reassured that you are a reliable person to loan money to.
These are just a few tips to keep in mind in order to make getting a mortgage for your second property as easy as possible. To find out more about investing in San Juan County property, contact me at alyssa@BluehorseRealtyNM or give me a call at (505) 657-4215. Keyword: San Juan County Property.

Arctic ice continues to thin, and thin, European satellite reveals
The thickness of the Arctic's ice was whittled to a new winter low, according to data from the European Space Agency's CryoSat mission. The ice's volume, less than 15,000 cubic km between March and April, is a new data point in the long chronicle of Arctic ice decline, a process that scientists expect could be catastrophic for the planet.
The news from the ESA comes days after scientists reported that the ice's decline this summer was less dramatic than the shrinkage during last year's summer minimum. Rather than marking the resurgence of the Arctic ice, as some British newspapers have erroneously reported, the smaller-than-expected decline in breadth is understood by scientists as a small blip in what is otherwise a long-term ebbing of the ice.
And just as the ice is becoming less extensive, it is also becoming thinner – a trend that scientists point to as the most indicative sign that climate change is taking a toll on the Arctic.
CryoSat is the second iteration of the ESA's CryoSat mission, after the first satellite was destroyed during launch in 2005 and was replaced with CryoSat-2. The satellite has been in low Earth orbit since 2010, where it has over three consecutive years taken measurements of the Arctic ice using an interferometric radar altimeter, a highly sophisticated instrument that assesses the thickness of the ice based on radar data about the altitude of the spacecraft.
The data, gathered between October 2010 to April 2013, has shown that the Arctic's ice is becoming leaner and leaner, and has also underpinned exacting research on just where, when, and how the ice is shedding mass.
"From the satellite's measurements we can see that some parts of the ice pack ice have thinned more rapidly than others, but there has been a decrease in the volume of winter and summer ice over the past three years," Andrew Shepherd, a professor of the University of Leeds, told the audience at the Living Planet Symposium in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Wednesday.
The overall decline in the thickness of span of the Arctic ice has at times been heralded as a boon for certain economic sectors and the countries tied to them. Lloyd's of London, an insurance market, has projected that investment in the region could reach US $100 billion within ten years, as investors rush to a region rich in what is believed to be 30 percent of the world's undiscovered gas, as well as about 13 percent of its untapped oil. Meanwhile, the ice's more extreme declines during the summer months have also turned the region into a viable – and profitable – route for shipping vessels.
All those possible profits have spurred heated debates in the Arctic Council about just who owns this region flush with oil and gas, and ribbed with new trade routes. And those debates have in turn furnished other debates about how even more fossil fuel burning might accelerate the pace of climate change and Arctic ice melt.
That's bad news for harp seals and polar bears, whose lifecycles and ecosystems have been thrown out of balance as the ice ebbs underfoot. As early as 2005, the New York Times noted that the melt has also upended the lives of the Nordic peoples that call the ice home, as water laps away at the coasts that once supported their communities.
And the unabated melt is also bad news for the entire planet. Melting Arctic ice is not just a byproduct of climate change – scientists point out that is also helping to accelerate it. That's because as ice cover wanes in the Arctic, less sunlight is reflected off the ice. Instead, it is absorbed into the ocean, which warms and then alters weather patterns, the effects of which resonate all over the globe.
Last week, a National Climactic Data Center report investigating 12 extreme weather events in 2012 for their anthropogenic origins found that rising sea levels were in part to blame for the calamitous damage that Hurricane Sandy did to the US coast last fall. And rising sea levels, scientists have said, are a by-product of Arctic ice melt, since warming oceans erode the Greenland ice sheet that is primarily responsible for subtly ballooning the oceans.
Arctic melt does not itself contribute to sea level rise, since the weight of the floating ice ice displaces the ocean, and, as the ice melts, the melt water replaces that displacement.
