Climate Denier Lord Monckton's IPCC 'Appointment' That Wasn't
by Graham Readfearn, via DeSmogBlog
It's difficult to really know where to start in describing Lord Christopher Monckton, one of the planet's most outspoken deniers of the risks of human-caused climate change.
You could say he's the leader of the Scotland branch of a fringe UK political party, for example.
Or describe him as the chief policy adviser to the Science and Public Policy Institute, a climate science-mangling organisation in the US which doesn't disclose its funders.
But earlier this week, Lord Monckton gave himself another title.
In an opinion column about how climate change had nothing to do with the deadly superstorm Sandy, Lord Monckton wrote how he was "an appointed expert reviewer for the forthcoming "Fifth Assessment Report" to be published by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change."
Now that's pretty impressive stuff. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change gathers and summarises the world's research on climate change.
I wondered how one might be "appointed" as an "expert reviewer," so I asked the secretariat at the IPCC about the process.
Here's what they told me (my bolding):
Anyone can register as an expert reviewer on the open online registration systems set up by the working groups. All registrants that provide the information requested and confirm their scientific expertise via a self-declaration of expertise are accepted for participation in the review. They are invited to list publications, but that is not a requirement and the section can be left blank when registering. There is no appointment.
Hang on. No appointment? But Lord Monckton just … but he says that he … right there, he just said he was appointed, all official like.
Now there are some appointed spots within the IPCC report-writing process. Lead Authors and Contributing Lead Authors are approved by the IPCC bureau, as are Review Editors. Contibuting Authors are generally invited by the Lead Authors.
But reading the response from the IPCC, it sounds as though even I could get a gig as an "expert reviewer." It would make a cracking addition to most people's CV.
Anyone out there who might be thinking about applying for a job that you just know in your heart of hearts you're not qualified to do, might want to think about asking Lord Christopher Monckton for a bit of guidance.
Because when it comes to puffing out your CV, the non-Member of the House of Lords is highly skilled.
His modus operandi (aside from speaking Latin in interviews) appears to be that the more spectacular the claim, the less likely people are to disbelieve you. Like climate change science being a plot to "shut down the west," for example.
So here, just a small handful of some of Monckton's greatest hits:
- Claimed to be a member of the House of Lords, even after House of Lords officials told him that he's not a member of the House of Lords.
- Claimed to be a Nobel Peace Laureate, when he's not.
- Claimed to have penned an article during the Falkland's War which was read out by the BBC's World Service Argentinian broadcasts, when the BBC World Service didn't have an Argentinian service or do any Argentinian broadcasts.
- Claimed he was forced to sell his home in order to pay $1 million prize money tied to a board game he had designed. He later admitted he made up the story to boost sales.
- Claimed not to have known who had contributed funds to his speaking tour around Australia, despite the Association of Mining and Exploration Companies admitting they had covered some of his expenses and organisers saying the visit was initiated by mining magnate Gina Rinehart.
For lists of this stuff as long as one of Robert Wadlow's arms, visit Monckton Myths, Barry Bickmore's Monckton Rap Sheet or look at Peter Hadfield's Monckton Bunkum video series (watch the first one below).
Perhaps there will be more to add to these lists next year when Lord Monckton returns to Australia in February 2013 for another speaking tour. His 2011 visit was marred in controversy after he branded a prominent Australian government climate policy advisor a Nazi, prompting venues across Australia to cancel.
There's some confusion about who is organising the tour. There are reports that the fringe political group the Democratic Labor Party, who's single Federal Senator is the anti-abortion climate sceptic John Madigan, are paying for his visit.
But the "Lord Monckton Foundation" has claimed it is organising the visit. Regardless, I really can't wait.

…which links to this…
We've all had fun with His Lordship over the years. With his mood swings and strange features, he is a classic example of the dangers of Royal inbreeding.
Somebody needs to investigate why he has such a large audience. Last year, he delivered a speech at La Jolla that drew an overflow crowd, with fans watching him on video in an adjacent auditorium. Climate scientists, meanwhile, attract much smaller audiences.
This the genius of Colbert, who realizes that people love fantasy, the more outrageous, the better. Somebody (not a professor, please!) should investigate why this is the case. It could help in public communication. We need the urgent case for change to be fun and entertaining, since most people are bored with dry presentations.
I think it's the "Alice Cooper Syndrome". A fascination of macob, deviant behavior exhibited in a theatrical manner. What most people fail to realize here is that they are an audience to a slow motion train wreck while having a good time in the club car.
The IPCC is shooting itself in the foot by not establishing proper evaluation of expert reviewers, as if someone can appoint itself an expert!!! At leat Moncton is not short in imagination and this story is going to be repeated at nauseam as a way to ridicule the IPCC. Please wake up guys at IPCC!!!
To become an expert reviewer on the IPCC5 report, all you had to do was follow the link here:
If Monckton does his job properly then all of AR5 will have been "peer" reviewed.
Potholer54has an entire series on YouTube debunking Monkton.
Start naming storms after climate deniers. Next one should be named Monckton.
February eh? Given current conditions we should be able to arrange a nice demo of carbon fuelled disasters, Aussie style – if there's anything left to burn by then, ME

Flavell's Law is alive and well.
Sometimes I think Monckton should maybe have his own BritCom, like "Mr. Bean". ;-)
Great idea!
So if lordy lordly signed up with his name on a:
Nasa probe to Mars, Moon, or extremist US House – he is an astronaut?,
registration for a signed Iranian Barbie doll collection – he is robotic expert?,
EssoKochs' bathroom wall – he is a toxic industry executive?
snowdrift – he is a glaciologist?, and
guest registration in Mexico- he and Roid should actually work hard at building this country and have tended to vote for something? ("Dr. Roy Spencer & Lord Christopher Monckton to Challenge Climate Orthodoxy at Cancun UN Conference Available for Radio and All Media"; SOURCE Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow with slavery, rape, and pillage today; prnewswire.com, 11/24/10).
And I thought that they only avoided spellcheck like it was a real scientific prediction.
I rather like the guy, just for being as strange as he is. No doubt in my mind that he has some sort of personality and/or psychological disorder. He's 100% entertaining, 0% credible. Like having our very own global village idiot. Keep up the Monckton Watch. Good stuff.
He should have become a comedian…
Oh wait…
Lord Borat? or Sacha Baron Monckton? http://climatecrocks.com/2011/10/19/lord-borat-or-sacha-baron-monckton/
Baron Monckhausen, a fantasist promoted by much more sinister elements, and hero-worshipped by the Dunning-Krugerites in whose eyes he is an 'intellectual'. Then again, these things are relative, after all.

'Text Neck' and Other Tech Troubles »

For starters, we take"...
The major hazards of meperidine, as with other narcotic analgesics, are respiratory depression and, to a lesser degree, circulatory depression; respiratory arrest, shock, and cardiac arrest have occurred.
The most frequently observed adverse reactions include lightheadedness, dizziness, sedation, nausea, vomiting, and sweating. These effects seem to be more prominent in ambulatory patients and in those who are not experiencing severe pain. In such individuals, lower doses are advisable. Some adverse reactions in ambulatory patients may be alleviated if the patient lies down.
Other adverse reactions include
Nervous System. Mood changes (e.g. euphoria, dysphoria), weakness, headache, agitation, tremor, involuntary muscle movements (e.g. muscle twitches, myoclonus), severe convulsions, transient hallucinations and disorientation, confusion, delirium, visual disturbances. Inadvertent injection about a nerve trunk may result in sensory-motor paralysis which is usually, though not always, transitory.
Gastrointestinal. Dry mouth, constipation, biliary tract spasm.
Cardiovascular. Flushing of the face, tachycardia, bradycardia, palpitation, hypotension (see WARNINGS), syncope, phlebitis following intravenous injection.
Genitourinary. Urinary retention.
Allergic. Pruritus, urticaria, other skin rashes, wheal and flare over the vein with intravenous injection.
Hypersensitivity reactions, anaphylaxis.
Histamine release leading to hypotension and/or tachycardia, flushing, sweating, and pruritus.
Other. Pain at injection site; local tissue irritation and induration following subcutaneous injection, particularly when repeated; antidiuretic effect.
Read the Demerol (meperidine) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
Also see WARNINGS
Acyclovir: Plasma concentrations of meperidine and its metabolite, normeperidine, may be increased by acyclovir, thus caution should be used with concomitant administration.
Cimetidine: Cimetidine reduced the clearance and volume of distribution of meperidine and also the formation of the metabolite, normeperidine, in healthy subjects and thus, caution should be used with concomitant administration.
CNS Depressants: Concomitant use of CNS depressants with usual doses of Demerol™ may result in respiratory depression, hypotension, profound sedation, coma or death (see PRECAUTIONS, Interactions with other CNS Depressants ).
Phenytoin: The hepatic metabolism of meperidine may be enhanced by phenytoin. Concomitant administration resulted in reduced half-life and bioavailability with increased clearance of meperidine in healthy subjects, however, blood concentrations of normeperidine were increased, thus exercise caution when phenytoin is used concomitantly with meperidine.
Ritonavir: Plasma concentrations of the active metabolite normeperidine may be increased by ritonavir, thus concomitant administration should be avoided.
Opioid analgesics, including Demerol™, may enhance the neuromuscular blocking action of skeletal muscle relaxants and produce an increased degree of respiratory depression.
Special Risk Patients
Meperidine should be given with caution and the initial dose should be reduced in certain patients such as the elderly or debilitated, and those with severe impairment of hepatic or renal function, sickle cell anemia, hypothyroidism, Addison's disease, pheochromocytoma and prostatic hypertrophy or urethral stricture. In patients with pheochromocytoma, meperidine has been reported to provoke hypertension.
Usage In Hepatically Impaired Patients
Accumulation of meperidine and/or its active metabolite, normeperidine, can occur in patients with hepatic impairment. Meperidine should therefore be used with caution in patients with hepatic impairment.
Usage In Renally Impaired Patients
Accumulation of meperidine and/or its active metabolite, normeperidine, can also occur in patients with renal impairment. Meperidine should therefore be used with caution in patients with renal impairment.

The deadly terrorist attacks in Paris on Nov 13 have persuaded the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) to step up its work in suppressing transnational crimes. The police are trying to better understand how such gangs operate in Thailand, to make crime-busting efforts more effective. Information on the 18 most common types of criminalACTIVITIES perpetrated by gangs in Thailand is in the CIB's new database and it will be used to launch a massive crackdown by the end of the year, said a police source. CIB chief Thitirach Nonghanpithak has assigned his deputy, Pol Maj Gen Chan Wimolsri, to oversee the formation of the CIB's centre for suppression of transnational criminals. At a meeting of 11 divisions under the CIB on Nov 16, Pol Lt Gen Thitirach pointed to the necessity of improving management of the police's database, which provides the fundamental basis for combating transnational crimes. It is not uncommon for foreign groups to commit crimes in Thailand, but there was no central criminal database to record theACTIVITIES and behaviour of suspects. Other agencies also had no information to offer the police, according to Pol Lt Gen Thitirach. However, now the database is in place, it looks certain to benefit […]

I'm due to have a newborn in the next few days and I also have a 2 yr old. My husband and I are kind of germaphobes and I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this. Are you supposed to allow your toddler to touch or play with the newborn in the first couple of weeks or do you keep them separated? Our toddler isn't in preschool so he's not around a lot of other kids that would have colds.

When a nurse came to our house the day after baby came home - we put our dog in the bedroom to keep him from bothering her. She heard him barking and asked about him. She said we didn't have to lock him up since she liked dogs. But , she said don't yell or keep him from kissing the baby, the germs are good for her. And the healthiest kids are ones with animals in the house because they are exposed to the germs. So I'm sure your toddler is much better than a dog!
Posted 09/22/2012
I wouldn't keep your toddler away, and to be honest, if your toddler has a cold, there's a good chance it will be passed to your newborn. Many illnesses are airborne and therefore cannot be prevented. Also, your toddler will be very curious with a new one in the house. Give them an opportunity to bond.
Luv'n Motherhood
Posted 09/23/2012
yep, germs are good. you may not know that there is good bacteria (like in dogs' saliva), which helps fight against illness and helps heal wounds, etc. exposure to bacteria boosts immunity. Of cource, newborn should not have contact with someone who is sick and/or very dirty. But don't go crazy about it.

Cheltenham defender Harry Hooman, Burnley midfielder Adam Evans and striker Curtis Allan from Northern Irish outfit Coleraine have all agreed deals with Caley Thistle.
It takes the number of new additions to Butcher's squad to seven following the capture of James Vincent, Danny Williams, Ben Greenhalgh and Marley Watkins last week.
The former England captain said: "We have been tracking these lads for some time now, and we are delighted to have landed them in the face of stiff competition from elsewhere.
"It is testament to how far we have moved forward as a club when lads of this quality are willing to make the journey north to join us.
"Our squad for next season is almost complete and we can now look forward to few days off as we will all be back, raring to go, on June 27 and that's not too far away now."

First, I was surprised at the size, which is great for water capacity. I set the speed on A2 to start the first few days. Now it is on A1 and runs 24hrs before filling again. There is no 'white' mist like some others leave. I live in the desert and plan on using this through the summer months as well, as humidity runs about 8-10%. The humidifier definitely has helped with my breathing. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a decent humidifier.
I have been looking for a humidifier that holds enough water that I don't need to fill it everyday - this one fits the bill. I run it on the lowest setting and it is fairly quiet. I live in the high desert of New Mexico, so a humidifier is a necessity in the winter.
I have found it is very difficult to determine how much water any humidifier holds as the companies that make them no longer put this information on the box or any other descriptions. This is the 3rd one I bought before finding one that is big enough for my purposes.
I've had this product for a couple months now and it's been running almost the whole time. It has not broken yet but I have noticed that the humidity reading is off a bit. Says it's 40 but doesn't feel that way, I usually just bump it up until it feels better in the house. Lately it feels like it isn't spitting out as much humidity but I can't be sure of the machine not working or if the air just got that much drier which is a possibility. It's quiet on the "1" or "A1" settings but gets louder the higher you turn the fan. It's very easy to maintain and overall I am happy with it.
Reasonable up front cost, easy to run and large capacity tank. Per the instructions, you are to thoroughly cleanse the item daily (vinegar) and then weekly (with bleach). The filter indicator seems to work well, and the color indicator on the filter corresponds, with the filter needing replacement after 2 months. New filters are $10 each or less if you buy in quantity, down to $5/filter if you buy 20. So there you have it, cheap up front but costly in time and money to maintain, great for Sunbeam.
We have tried many different humidifiers and this one beats all the competition. It is a perfect size, easily doing 2 rooms in our home. It is easy to refill and the digital control is easy to program. We love it.
On any of the automatic speeds (A1,A2, or A3) the fan will start up for 1/2 second, then stop. Then fan will immediately start up again and runs for 5-10 seconds and stops. If I leave it off for a few hours, and the room humidity drops, then it will turn on and run until desired level is reached, then this on/off/on cycle starts all over again. This occurred right out of the box. Different humidity levels have been tried with the same results. Not sure if humidifier is defective or not.
During these winter months, my house was so dry, after seeing a line of current running between my finger and the ceiling light switch, I had enough. I researched the various cool mist humidifiers (as I do not want to deal with daily cleaning from warm mist humidifiers) on the market from units ranging well over $200 to the cost of this unit. I bought two of these units and they run continuously. Happily, I am no longer shocking the cat or myself with the flip of a switch and the air is much more comfortable. I found if you use the automatic settings and the unit's humidity reading is at the specified setting, it will turn on and off again repeatedly. Either raise the level of humidity or take it off of automatic and keep it manually set. I keep my units at 2, rather than A2. At night, it runs fairly quiet when you have the unit set at 1 or A1. I believe you would need to buy the most expensive unit on the market to have a humidifier run quieter. There is no white dust from this unit. Whenever I change the water, I flip the filter which gives the filter a much longer life. I always add two capfuls of Holmes Bacteriostat and one capful of Holmes Water Treatment Solution (for hard water) when filling. Add the treatment solution after filling your reservior, or you will create bubbles. The water lasts me 24 hours or less according to whether I am using 1 or a higher setting. I am sure it is not accurate in its humidity readings, regardless, my house is much more comfortable after using the two units and I would recommend this unit.
After researching humidifiers and reading all the reviews, I decided to purchase this one. I felt it fit our needs, and people seemed to be satisfied with it. Sat it up and plugged it in, and turned it to the high position. I adjusted the humidity setting, to where I wanted it to be. Our humidity was at about 30% before starting it up (we have a humidity gauge other than the one on the unit, which was relatively spot on). I let it run wide open for 24 hours, and our humidity in the small dining room/living room actually dropped to 28%. Unacceptable. A pot of water boiling on the stove quickly ups our humidity to 50-60%, so there's no way this thing was working properly. It goes back to the store today for a refund.
So, I open the package and fill it up and turn it on. I could immediately feel the difference in the air. As I looked closer at the needle which tells you if the filter is still good or not, the needle was to the left of the knob (that tells you it is time to change the filter). Meaning the needle would not move to the right (or where it says filter is good). I had to pop off the plastic piece and move it to the other side.
The humidity indicator doesn't seem to work too well. I doubt it is close to what it is actually saying. I have seen it jump up and down in seconds. Other than that, the humidifier actually works well and I can feel a difference in the air.
It leaks very bad.
I really love this one. I had a smaller one from another company that I just didn't like. This one has plenty of levels that you will find the perfect one. I actually have mine under where the heat vent is. It takes a lot of the dryness out. If your room gets hot, you can turn this up and it levels it all out lol. I love it. And the fan is low. It isn't loud at all. I really like it. Plus it is more stylish that the others onthe market.
I bought two previous humidifiers that only lasted about 2-3 months each. This one has been hanging in there for at least 6 months so far. The water capacity is huge and easy to refill. The read-out makes it easy to see what the humidity level is and set it to a constant level. I also have very hard water so I really like the gauge that tells when it is time to change the filter.
First thing, read and follow the directions! If the ones who've rated low on this would have read the directions they may not have rated it so low. I do have one thing to point out. When this product is set on auto and it reaches the set point, it does keep turning on and off. But putting it on A3 it works fine. You'll get use to it.
I really like the large capacity of this unit. I also like the two handles on the reservoir which make it easier to handle a full tank. My only complaint is in Auto mode because it uses the built in hydrometer it cycles on and off frequently. I have found myself using it in the timed and manual mode.
I bought this for our bedroom. It works really well,
but even on low, it is noisy. I have a large floor
humidifer that is not this noisy. I am a light sleeper,
and I kept waking up when the fan turned on. If you are a heavy sleeper, this is a really good deal.
Sadly, I am returning it today.
This unit replaces a comparable item made by Bionaire that wore out. The new Sunbeam unit is very quiet and seems to do the job. Haven't had it long enough to make any more observations. I hope Wal-Mart will carry the replacement wick filters.
Instructions a little hard to understand, but works great. Easy to fill compared to others.
Oh, well. It bought it to replace an over the register humidifier that was leaving me at 16% RH. After a day, this unit left me at the same RH--in a 12x15 room--which is half the rated capacity. Hmmm.
So I put it on the table. Not preferred and it's taking up space. It finally got up to 26% RH after two days and about 15 gal. of water. Where'd they get the 48 hr. rating? It must be for slow automatic and very low humidity settings.
The carry handle on the fill side feels cheap and I keep waiting for it to crack, but it has held up when full--four days now. This machine uses a LOT of water!!
The meter is accurate--within 1%--as verified by external humidistats in the same room.
Although the manual says it will show from 21% to 90% as its limits, mine flickers between 20 and 21 when it gets in that low area.
The filter shows good for about a day then goes to replace, but that meter is misleading. I take it out, rinse it off and replace upside down from the last time and it is fine. The meter goes back up. Adding a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice to the water is mnimizing lime build-up.
The automatic settings will not let you go to the acceptable humidity range bottom edge. Although 25% to 40% RH are considered acceptable (above 45 you start getting into a dust mite/mold spore problem) the automatic settings do NOT go below 30% RH!!
I'd love to get to 40% and saveon heatng bills, but this thing, after three days, has only reached 26%--one time. It was doing pretty well to hold 24% yesterday, but after an all night run on A3 (fast) it was back down to 20% this morning.
It's still better than the floor, over-vent was able to do--maybe. This will not get over 16% either when on the floor; and, consumes more electricity and water to do so.
It is normal for humidifiers to handle rooms half their rated size. This one does not. Perhaps if it was totally sealed, but what good would that do? This is the dining room.

* AccidentalInnuendo: "Billy Lick a Lolly", especially after Molly gives a lollipop to Lilly and the song says that "Molly gave to Lilly just what Billy gave to Molly."
* EarWorm: Maybe too many to list here.
** Each time the theme song was re-vamped, it seemed to add a new ear-wormy line to the tune.
*** From the very start, there was "We're gonna turn it on! We're gonna bring you the power!"
*** In Seasons 3 and 4, they added "We're gonna open the book, and read every word we can see!"
*** And for Seasons 5 and 6, there was the new introduction, "Movin' out in a new way! Movin' out in a new way!"
** "Spider-Man, where are you comin' from? Spider-Man, nobody knows who you are!"
** "Unbutton your heart, unzip your lip, and tell me that you lo-ove me!"
** "They are the little marks that use their influence to help a sentence make more sense!"
* FunnyAneurysmMoment:
** The Short Circus have a song called "We Love Chow", in which they put on fat suits and sing about how much fun they have overeating.
** J. Arthur Crank refers to ''Spider-Man'' as a "funny book" a number of times in the show, evidently unaware how more mature the comic would become as time progressed.
** The skit "Spidey Meets the Yeti" where a woman's demand on Spider-Man that she will stop reading his comics if he failed to stop the title Yeti became less hilarious after the negative reception of ''Spider-Man'' comics, such as ''ComicBook/TheCloneSaga'' and ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay''.
* HarsherInHindsight: ''The Adventures of Letterman'' short had a villain, the Spellbinder, whose primary mission was to wreak havoc by changing letters of words into new words, causing humorous situations ... for the most part. However, there were several episodes that, while when aired in 1974-1976 might have been seen as funny, would have such situations classed as terrorism today. These include Spellbinder changing "plane" into "plant" (by changing the "e") and causing it to fall toward the earth, and removing the "b" in bridge to create a "ridge" and a way for a high-speed passenger train to fall into the crevice; both incidents put the lives of dozens of people, including children, in jeopardy. These segments would be banned from television after Sept. 11, 2001.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** Nowadays, knowing that at least once it was Creator/MorganFreeman in the Spider-Man suit is even funnier since in the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe there really is a black Spider-Man.
** J. Arthur Crank, especially in the first season as an offscreen character, sounds a lot like [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]].
* JustHereForGodzilla: Some people watch it only for Franchise/SpiderMan
* NightmareFuel: The song "Poison" averts NeverSayDie to get its point across, then shows the Short Circus dropping to the ground and disappearing.
** One segment showed the text "thin" and "fat". "Thin" squeezes, well, thin, while "fat"...nearly overtakes the entire screen. It can be really frightening if you're not expecting it.
** The monolith cartoons scared this troper as a little kid [[https://youtu.be/zY0GhNBMkM8 scary monolith]]
* RetroactiveRecognition:
** Yes, Morgan Freeman was one of the original cast members (and yes, it ''is'' weird to see him this young).
** Skip Hinnant, though it [[FunnyAneurysmMoment hurts realizing that a voice actor for an X-rated animated movie was on a kids' show]]...or [[HilariousInHindsight maybe not]].
* ValuesDissonance: The Punctuation Brothers sketch begins with three grown men entering a little girl's bedroom through her window. After they give the girl a lesson in using different punctuation marks, the girl's mother finds the men in the bedroom. Instead of calling the police, she expresses thanks to the brothers for helping the girl with her homework. It's implied that the Punctuation Brothers ''often'' break into children's houses.
[[folder: The 2009 Re Tool ]]
* CanonSue: Lisa from seasons 1 and 2. There is an entire song about how perfect she is.
* EarWorm: Some of the songs can become this.
* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop:
** Three episodes in a row (the last three of Season 1) seem to give off a shared aesop of "''Never'' trust or befriend anyone who has been bad but seems to have [[HeelFaceTurn changed his ways]], since they'll always turn out to still be douches in the end."
** The episode about Lisa's colonial ancestor, who was believed to be a traitor. It looks like it's shaping up to deliver the reasonable aesop that if an ancestor or family member does wrong, it doesn't mean that ''you'' are a bad person. But nope, Lisa's ancestor is revealed to have been a hero all along, which leaves one with the impression that having an ancestor or family member who did something wrong is a ''horrible'' fate and shouldn't ever happen to a good person.
* RootingForTheEmpire: The members of the Pranksters (except for maybe Francine) are arguably much more entertaining to watch than the members of the Electric Company.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Fans of the original thought a revival sounded promising, as the 1970s version used both short and long segments to deliver both knowledge and entertainment at no cost to either...but then they heard about all the changes, especially the part about using full-on stories and actually ''requiring'' the viewer to pay attention throughout. (Although to be fair to the new show, the fact they want viewers to increase their attention spans is actually a pretty noble cause.)
* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The TitleSequence got an Emmy for this in 2011.
* WhatAnIdiot: The Pranksters. They're ''supposed'' to be evil, but their only ambition is (as stated in the pilot) to "take over the neighborhood". The town/city, fine, as at least then you've got at least one position of actual power from which you can try to bring other places under your control...but the '''neighborhood'''?!
** Francine alone has these moments a ''lot''.

Health Benefits of Chocolate
How to Live Longer: Eat Chocolate
Yes, I thought I should start with the best overall benefit of eating chocolate – you will live longer!
A study of 7,800 men by researchers Dr. I-Min Lee, and Dr. Ralph S. Paffenbarger Jr., of the Harvard School of Public Health, in Boston, Massachusetts found eating a few pieces of chocolate every month may make your life both sweeter and longer.
The study was published in the British Medical Journal December 19, 1998
The specifics found that eating chocolate improved life expectancy overall, with the best amount being a few time a month. Eating it daily was not as good, but better than not eating it at all!
Chocolate is Good For the Brain and Heart
There are a number of reasons why chocolate is good for the brain.
First of it boosts the neurotransmitters called serotonin and dopamine. Neurotransmitters are specific molecules that allow our rains and nervous systems to work. Dopamine and serotonin for instance are needed for feelings of happiness and well-being, as well as motivation and concentration, and for dopamine – strong physical reflexes.
Other chemicals in chocolate that may prove healthy for the brain are flavanols.
Several studies have indicated that flavanols could improve blood vessel function.
For example, research has shown that the indigenous population living on islands near Panama, who consume a type of cocoa rich in flavanols on a daily basis, also experience unusually low rates of hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
The relative risk of death from heart disease on the Panama mainland is 1,280 percent higher than on the islands.
These benefits might also extend to the brain, and could have effects on learning and memory. British researchers studied the results on the brains of young women by studying their brains via magnetic resonance imaging while completing a complex task.
Consumption of the special cocoa resulted in regional changes in brain blood flow for as long as three hours, meaning that cocoa flavanols may have potential as a treatment of vascular damage within the brain.
Excerpt from DrMercola.com
The specific flavanol that is responsible for the vascular benefits the Kuna Indians mentioned above experience is epicatechin. Epicatechin works by improving nitric oxide levels in the blood – something already linked with better cardiovascular health.
Chocolate is Great for Your Muscles
Further studies into the flavanol epicatechin reveal that not only does it boost nitric oxide, it also increases the number of mitochondria. Mitochondria are our power stations, tiny components of each of our cells that turn chemicals into energy!
The research was carried out by scientists from Wayne State University who discovered that epicatechin seems to trigger the same muscle response as vigorous activity such as jogging.
Additionally, when small doses of chocolate are consumed in combination with regular exercise, performance is increased by 50 percent, the study found.
"Mitochondria produce energy which is used by the cells in the body. More mitochondria mean more energy is produced the more work can be performed," study leader Dr. Moh Malek at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, told the UK Telegraph.
"Aerobic exercise, such as running or cycling, is known to increase the number of mitochondria in muscle cells. Our study has found that epicatechin seems to bring about the same response – particularly in the heart and skeletal muscles," he added.
The study is published September 14 in the Journal of Physiology, and you can read more about it here – http://www.sott.net/article/235003-Dark-Chocolate-As-Good-As-Exercise-
More on the Heart Health Benefits of Chocolate
Chocolate can also help prevent a heart attack by lowering levels of inflammation in the body (measured by C reactive protein). 15g of dark chocolate a day also helps chronic fatigue syndrome, lower blood pressure, and even seems to be good for insulin too!
1. According to a study conducted at Cornell University, the antioxidant concentration in hot cocoa is almost twice as strong as red wine. Cocoa's concentration was two to three times stronger than that of green tea and four to five times stronger than that of black tea.
2. Professor Chang Yong Lee, the leader of the Cornell study, added that the "hot" in "hot chocolate" is important as well. More antioxidants are released when it's heated up.
3. A cup of hot cocoa contains 611 milligrams of the phenolic compound gallic acid equivalents (GAE) and 564 milligrams of the flavonoid epicatechin equivalents (ECE). The antioxidant gallic acid is used to treat internal hemorrhages, albuminuria (the presence of albumin in the urine, which can indicate kidney disease) and diabetes.
4. Although a regular bar of chocolate has strong antioxidant activity, the health benefits may be outweighed because of the saturated fats present — cocoa generally has much less fat per serving compared to the 8 grams of fat in a standard chocolate bar.
5. The flavonoids help your body process nitric oxide, which is why hot cocoa can improve blood flow, help lower your blood pressure and improve heart health.
6. The flavonoids in hot chocolate also help prevent platelets in your blood from mingling together and forming clots.
7. According to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, drinking hot chocolate can help you think better too. The flavonoids increase the blood flow and oxygen to the brain. Since dementia is caused by a reduced flow of blood to the brain, researchers think it could be treated with cocoa.
Epicatechin Health Benefits Rival Penicillin
Not as an antibiotic, but in it's overall use to prevent death and disease.
Norman Hollenberg, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, states that epicatechin is so important that it should be considered a vitamin.
Hollenberg spent years studying the benefits of cocoa drinking on the Kuna people in Panama. He found that the risk of 4 of the 5 most common killer diseases: stroke, heart failure, cancer and diabetes, is reduced to less then 10% in the Kuna. They can drink up to 40 cups of cocoa a week. Natural cocoa has high levels of epicatechin.
'If these observations predict the future, then we can say without blushing that they are among the most important observations in the history of medicine,' Hollenberg says. 'We all agree that penicillin and anaesthesia are enormously important. But epicatechin could potentially get rid of 4 of the 5 most common diseases in the western world, how important does that make epicatechin?… I would say very important'
Now the Bad News
Flavanols like epicatechin are often removed from commercial cocoas because they tend to have a bitter taste. So there is huge scope for nutritional companies to develop epicatechin supplements or capsules
Epicatechin is also found in teas, wine, and some fruit and vegetables.
One chocolate bar that definitely has the wonder ingredient is the Dove Dark Chocolate bar, sold in other countries such as the UK, under the name Galaxy! (You have to get the dark chocolate version of Galaxy)

Bucks should keep Hammond, but what about Skiles?
Let recent history reflect the profound influence management teams have had on the Bucks.
Ernie Grunfeld and George Karl were one of the highest-paid, highest-profile general manager/coach tandems in the NBA. They proved their value when they got the Bucks within a game of the 2001 Finals.
It ended badly after Karl forced a couple of moves - Anthony Mason and then Gary Payton for Ray Allen - from which the franchise has yet to recover.
Then the Bucks cheaped-out and got what they paid for. Larry Harris and his string of coaches were so far over their heads that it has taken four years to mitigate the damage.
So do not underestimate the importance of the decision Herb Kohl must make shortly after the season ends Thursday.
John Hammond and Scott Skiles each have one year remaining on the contract extensions they signed after the Bucks became one of the best stories in the league two years ago.
But after two years out of the playoffs for a franchise that really needs things to go right, Kohl must make a very important call.
He cannot have a lame-duck coach because it would give the players liberty to walk all over Skiles. Moreover, the coach's status matters when trying to sign free agents or extend the contracts of players the Bucks wish to keep.
Hammond, though, is a no-brainer. Within the limits he inherited in trying to clean up Harris' mess, he has been aggressive and proactive in gathering value talent and making bad paper go away. He finally has gotten the payroll under control to the point that the Bucks will have a good deal of salary cap room this summer to make at least one substantial roster upgrade.
When Hammond erred - John Salmons, Corey Maggette and Stephen Jackson - he quickly made those mistakes disappear and saved money in the process. He whiffed badly in his first draft and hit a home run in his second. His last two picks have a chance to be decent players.
Hammond is a keeper.
Skiles, meanwhile, is not one of the Bucks' problems. The man can coach. I'm not sure a lot of coaches could have squeezed a near-.500 record from that work-in-progress roster, especially after Andrew Bogut was lost for good. I liked the fact a hard-nosed defensive specialist was flexible enough to admit that the Bucks had no shot at the playoffs unless he turned them loose offensively.
It didn't work, but it was worth a shot . . . or three.
I'd extend him, too, but it is easy to see why the Bucks just might fire Skiles.
Here's the problem they face:
If they are willing to pay Skiles $4 million to go away, they'd better make sure they have someone better in mind. Unless they already have determined there is another Tom Thibodeau out there, they've got to know, for example, if 70-year-old Illinois resident Jerry Sloan is interested in coming out of retirement.
Since that's not likely, firing Skiles would be risky.
Then again, there is a certain amount of risk in keeping him.
We all know that Skiles - blunt, demanding and intolerant of silly mistakes - wears on players in a players' league. But so far, management has backed him by getting rid of the players he gave up on.
But Salmons, Maggette and Jackson were expendable.
The Bucks have a chance if they hang on to Brandon Jennings, Monta Ellis, Ersan Ilyasova and identify a big guy who can block shots and defend the rim. If that core group is not on board with the coach, the Bucks have their answer.
Either way, they've got to make a decision fast. This is a critical off-season for a franchise that must prove to a shrinking fan base that it is heading in the proper direction.

ITV Insight
We all love sitting down in front of a great show, but have you ever thought about how our favourite programmes get on the box (or ITV Player) for that matter? There's more to it than what goes on in the studio – our entire business comes together to deliver everything you see on screen. And with ITV's Insight Programme, you can experience it for yourself.
Aimed at over-18s and EEA residents who have the right to work or train in the UK, the Insight programme is a great way for people looking to learn more about a career in TV. You might be a student looking to boost your studies with TV experience. Or a Media professional looking to develop your industry know-how. You could even be in the market for a career change or in the process of returning to work. As long as you can show us a genuine interest in the areas you're applying for (and in ITV of course), we'd love to hear from you.
What can you expect?
For starters, you'll have membership of the ITV Insight Pool. That means priority access to any Insight placements that become available across the business. These can be up to two weeks and pop up at any time.
You shouldn't automatically expect to be offered a placement though. Insight placements will become available according to business availability and that depends on a number of factors (things like shooting schedules, how busy we are and the area of the business you want to experience).
You'll be invited to join the ITV Insight LinkedIn group, a members-only community where you can hear about ITV opportunities and read about other members' experiences with us. Once you're on a placement you'll enjoy the chance to get involved as well as shadowing, so you'll really get to grips with what a role here entails. And not only this, ITV Insight is about more than voluntary placements, you'll get to apply for paid roles, offered exclusively to our Insight members.
You'll meet and learn from people who really know their stuff, build up a network of contacts and experience the inner workings of the TV industry. So you'll be on a firm footing when it comes to making informed decisions about your career.
Important bits
Remember, acceptance into the Insight Pool doesn't guarantee a placement at ITV. Once you're a member of the Pool, you'll have access to the great opportunities offered through the LinkedIn group – but so will everyone else. That's why it's important that you make your CV relevant to the opportunities you're expressing interest in. We want you to have the best chance possible of gaining a placement.
The ITV Insight Programme is a volunteering scheme, which allows you to get involved and gain hands-on experience wherever possible, for up to two weeks. Because of this all placements are unpaid and travel costs won't be reimbursed. But of course if you're offered a paid opportunity through our programme, you'll be paid at least the Living Wage salary rate.
We're proud to be a 'two-tick' disability symbol holder, meaning we're recognised for our support and retention of talented individuals with disabilities. This support, naturally, extends to anyone on a placement and we'll do everything we can to make sure you have the support and adjustments you need to get the most out of your time with us.
How to apply
You have four windows of opportunity to apply each year, with the Insight Programme open in January, April, July and October. The range of placement areas on offer may change each time, so if your area of interest isn't included, check the next Insight window.
Simply create a profile, upload your CV and complete an application form. We'll be keen to hear what makes you tick. And of course, what makes you an ideal candidate for the ITV Insight Pool.
What next?
Once you've submitted your application, please be prepared to bear with us. Our Insight Programme is very popular and it takes time to read through and consider all your applications.
If you're successful, you'll hear from us within three months. If you don't hear from us it means that you've been unsuccessful this time. We'd like to get in touch personally, but the high number of applications we get makes that impossible. For the same reason, we'll be unable to provide feedback if you're unsuccessful in your application.
Once you've joined the Insight Pool, you'll be invited to the members' only LinkedIn group. This is where Insight placements and paid opportunities are posted for you to express your interest in.
Insight steps - at a glance:
1. Apply online – make your application the best it can be
2. If successful, join the ITV Insight LinkedIn group – keep an eye out for placements and opportunities posted for just for members
3. When there's one that catches your eye, send a relevant CV and short cover note to the specified email address – convince the team you're the one
4. If you've been chosen for a placement opportunity, the team will be in touch to discuss placement arrangementsApplications now open - until 1st August!

AbstractABSTRACT: The current polyurethane based coatings on the landing skis/skids of US Air Force aircraft require frequent maintenance due to exposure to extreme conditions. A long-lasting, low-friction, hydrophobic, impact and abrasion resistant coating on the landing ski/skids is highly desired to ensure the ski/skid equipped aircraft can continue to meet their unique mission requirement. Resodyn Corporation proposes a material solution in the form a nanocomposite thermoplastic polymer coating that, in addition to addressing issues with the current coatings, will impart novel features, such as easy and fast in-field repair, hydrophobicity and self-healing properties to the coating. Resodyn Corporation"s Polymer Thermal Spray technology and Resonant Acoustic Mixing technology will enable delivery of a successful solution. BENEFIT: The proposed hydrophobic material solution will lead to a long lasting thermoplastic coating on aircraft landing skis/skids. Maintenance can be performed in-field, simply by heat sealing the damaged areas. The novel morphology of the proposed coating will impart superior impact and abrasion resistance not shown by typical thermoplastic materials.
