its been 4 years
and looking back i can remember all the tears
the time i thought i loved you
and the time you said you loved me too
but we were just kids back then
and now what were left with is all those \"remember whens\"?
but look at us today
the broken hearts, tears and sorrows have all faded away
but everything had faded too
i dont even know the real you
it makes me so sure that what we had wasnt real
but from you i learned to express what i feel
we both have others in our lives now
and its not really a question as to how
this happened for a reason and i dont regret it
i learned a lot from all the shit
i lost my best friend from everything that went down
and i feel bad, but the real me was found
im not that girl you made me be
but that was something i could not see
im not writing this so there can bed a you and me
because thats not what i want i hope you can see
you gave me my first glimpse of love that i can not forget
and it would do nothing if i sat here with regret
i've watch my love grow with this amazing man
and nothing makes me happier than him holding my hand
but you, are always there in the back of my mind
the times we shared with the passing of time
and here we are 4 years later, and we dont even know each other
so lets get back to square one and start over together,
as friends only this time and hope things get better.

Put your sweet lips closer to the phone
- 21 January — 25 February 2017 *on now
Ranging from the 'Candlestick' telephones of the 1880's to the 'Brick' mobile phone of the 1980's, each piece is an edition of five and as with much of Morgan's ceramic works, they are sized to be just larger than the real thing.
Following on from the success of Cameron Morgan's ceramic pieces from Project Ability's 'Food To Go' exhibition in 2015, and his enormously popular Glasgow International exhibition of paintings titled, 'TV Classics Part 1', this latest exhibition combines these two ideas into one new concept. Morgan has created a series of slip-cast ceramic phones which will highlight the grand evolution of one of human kind's greatest inventions to date.
The Unlimited commission awarded to Cameron Morgan in 2015 has given him the time and financial support to create 'TV Classic Part 1' for Glasgow International (touring to Wales and London as well, http://www.tvclassicspart1.co.uk/cameron-morgan/) as well as 'Put your sweet lips closer to the phone', which has already been part of the Tramway's Unlimited Festival in 2016.

The Artists of the West Midlands: A New World
- 21 January — 25 February 2017 *on now
This exhibition explores the artwork of six emerging artists from the West Midlands. The artists were mentored and supported in the development of new contexts and avenues for their individual creative practices. Acclaimed award winning artist, and great friend of Project Ability, Tanya Raabe-Webber, has been mentor for the artists and is also the guest curator for this colourful exhibition.
Each artist has their own clear distinct style and subject matter that interests them. These include trains, cars and motorways, landscapes from another world, mood landscapes, figures from American popular culture, Japanese gardens and culture and museum and art gallery collections based in the West Midlands.

Penguins on Screen
- 3 March — 13 April 2017
The creativity that goes into each of these characters knows no bounds - the transformation of the adorable penguin into so many other personalities is one of Ruth's many talents.
As an artist in our ReConnect studio for several years now, Ruth is on the autistic spectrum and raising awareness of autism is very important to her. She engages proactively with many groups related to autism; very often through her art and her penguins. She has made and illustrated several books, won awards for her artworks, and had her drawings used to illustrate an online e-learning course about autism. Ruth has a website, a Facebook page and an Etsy page where she showcases and sells her work.
The body of work in this exhibition has been set against the back drop of the Hollywood screen. Using some of her favourite shows and films, Ruth has recreated the characters through the guise of the penguin. They are cute, loveable and quite recognisable as the actors they portray.
The artist will be exhibiting original drawings alongside prints, each work of art will be for sale. If you love the pictures, television and penguins, you will love Penguins on Screen!!

CATS... the 2nd instalment
- 3 March — 13 April 2017
Project Ability would like to welcome our visitors to the 2nd instalment of CATS, an exhibition inspired by all things feline related; big cats, fluffy cats, kittens, lions, tigers, leopards and more! All of our artists across our Aspire, ReConnect and Create programmes have been asked to submit catworks for this show, and the response has been truly amazing! The variety of interpretation by our artists provided us with enough work for two exhibitions, and this is the 2nd and final instalment.
This open-call exhibition has given each of our artists the chance to work towards a selected theme, and be part of a large scale group exhibition. The result is a playful, adorable, and in some cases, ferocious showcase of artworks in many different mediums.
This theme was so popular among our artists that we had to divide the work up over two exhibitions. The 1st instalment took place in 2016. The work to go on display for the 2nd instalment has been 'cat napping' in our archive room for several months, and they are beginning to get restless!
Please join us for an opening reception on 2 March from 6 – 8pm. Our gallery shop will also have many cat related pieces and other original artworks for sale. We still have the 2017 Cat calendars in the shop, and the Cats publication as well!

Remember how I used to have a Cricut? And it was fine. I really liked it, because I'd never had a craft cutter before, and it seemed to worked how it was supposed to. But then one day I realized that even though it worked fine, it didn't do everything I wanted it to do. I hated being tied down to cartridges, or using a program (scal) that didn't really work flawlessly with the machine. And so I sold it and bought me a Silhouette Cameo. And ever since I've had my Cameo, my life has been so much more complete! (And I promise, they didn't even pay me to say that!)
One of the things I've loved the most about my Silhouette is that I can cut without a mat. Why does this matter? Well, instead of being limited to only cutting as big as my mat is, I can cut as wide as my Silhouette (12 inches on the Silhouette Cameo, and 9 inches on the Silhouette Portrait), by as long as my material is. Which is pretty awesome, right???
And since maybe you're getting yourself a Silhouette with the promo I am running (or, if your name is Allison, and you won my giveaway for a free Silhouette Portrait), I wanted to show you how to cut without a mat too.
This is the PERFECT way to use those long rolls of vinyl.
I am going to show you, using the Silhouette Studio program that came with your Silhouette.
Step 1: Make sure you are cutting something with backing, like vinyl. If you cut something like paper without a mat, the piece you cut out won't have anywhere to go, and it will be sliding around in your machine without any rhyme or reason… which is no bueno.
Step 2: Change the cutting mat option to "none".
Step 3: Change width and height to match your size of vinyl. {I always add an inch or two to the vinyl, just to be sure it has enough material to cut. So if my object is 12 inches long, I'll cut my vinyl 13 or 14 inches long}
Step 4: Set your rollers to the width of your vinyl. The roll of vinyl I'm cutting here is 9 inches, so I moved the right roller over the the 9 inch spot.
Step 5: Feed your vinyl in the machine nice and STRAIGHT. If it's a little crooked to begin with, it will be A LOT crooked after several inches.
And go for it! Play around a little bit, and I guarantee you are going to love this feature too!
And yes, I use Casey's ping pong table as a craft table. Haha!

With an old leather-bound book and some Sugru—that DIY miracle putty—you can make a great-looking cover for your tablet or ebook reader. The book can be something you pick up for cheap at a local second-hand book shop or a yard sale. Take your iPad or Kindle along and align it with the book cover to see if it will fit. Sugru advises to check the thickness too: Advertisement Advertisement As well as getting the right size it is important to get the right thickness so that the book will close.The hooks add around 2cm to the thickness of the tablet so your book needs to be thick enough to contain both.We made this mistake with our ipad book and unfortunately it wouldn't shut properly :(Then, cut off the pages of the book while being careful not to damage the spine—this step is critical and a bit tricky. You will also need to reinforce the spine with some Sugru.Lay out your tablet inside the book and mark the four corners with a pencil. Take the tablet out and wrap it in cellophane wrap or cling film. Stick little cylindrical Sugru bits at the marked corners and place tablet between them. Pull them down slightly to form hooks, leave to cure for 24 hours and you're done. Sponsored After 24 hours, simply lift up the tops and remove your tablet. Remove the clingfilm from the tablet and replace under the hooks. Again to remove the tablet, simply lift up the ends of the hook and remove the corner of the tablet.Sugru's step-by-step details on Instructables are worth checking out, especially for reinforcing the book's spine.

New List: Science Fiction by Women Writers
Hello everyone! We've just added a new "best of" list to Worlds Without End (#33!) that we think you're really gonna like: Science Fiction by Women Writers.
This list comes to us from WWEnder and Uber User, the King of Lists himself, Mr. James Wallace Harris and his compatriot Mike Jorgensen. Jim and Mike created this new list using the time tested method that gave us the much revered Classics of Science Fiction list. Basically they reviewed every damn list they could find (65 in all!) and picked the books by women writers that made it onto at least 4 of those lists. The result is a who's who of women in genre fiction and a great place to find some great reads. Be sure to check out the Classics of Science Fiction website for the source lists and essays.
This new list is an excellent addition to the other women-centric lists we feature on WWEnd including Ian Sales' popular SF Mistressworks, David G. Hartwell's 200 Significant SF Books by Women, and WWEnd's own Award Winning Books by Women Authors. If you're ready to explore more works by women authors these lists will take you far along that road.
And as long as you're at it join us for the 5th annual WWEnd Women of Genre Fiction Reading Challenge! This year's iteration has reading levels from just 6 books, enough to get your feet wet, all the way up to 48 books, for those looking to dive deep.
Our thanks to Jim and Mike for building such a great list and sharing it with us on WWEnd! Let us know what you think about the new list in the comments below. Read on!
When Did You Discover Time Travel?
How old were you when you first encountered the concept of time travel? I used to believe it was when I first saw the George Pal version of The Time Machine which came out in 1960, and I didn't see until 1962 or 1963 when I was ten or eleven. Memory is a highly unreliable resource, especially for dating. I vaguely remember that seeing the movie made me get the book from my school library the next day. What's weird, is I don't remember being blown away by the idea of a time machine at that time. And time travel is certainly a concept that was mind blowing. What I remember, was being blown away at the idea that humans could mutate into new species. Now that was something to think about.
My guess is I already knew about time travel. But when did I first encounter the idea?
In past decades I assumed all the great science fiction concepts like aliens, robots, time travel, interstellar travel, artificial intelligence came from reading science fiction. But in more recent years, as I wrote about my past, struggling to get the facts right, I realized that assumption was wrong. This line of thought started when I tried to remember when I first learned about dinosaurs. I wondered why little kids love dinosaurs, and if they understood dinosaurs existed millions of years ago and are now extinct. Those are heavy concepts too – vast times and extinction. I remember having dreams about dinosaurs when I was four or five, well before I could read, or attend school. And I don't remember my parents telling me about dinosaurs. How did I learn about them?
Finally, I assumed I was introduced to all the far out ideas of science fiction via television, even though I grew up in the 1950s when television was primitive. That's why I've felt I've always known about outer space, robots and traveling through time. Hell, I might have been exposed to time travel before I could tell time.
Evidently, childhood was a phase when my mind was a mass of proto-concepts gathered from television – like Pangaea before splitting into distinguishable continents. Reading science fiction shaped those vague impressions into precise concepts. Although reading Time Travel by James Gleick made me realize that time travel is a tremendously complex subject that we continue to refine.
Now here's the thing I really want to talk about. In this age of alternate facts, should we be raising kids by stuffing them with fantasy and fantastic beliefs before they understand the nature of reality? We believe that make-believe is perfect for young minds, but is that true? Can you imagine a different way, where we taught kids facts first, and then later introduced them to fantasy?
Can you imagine growing up only seeing science shows that carefully explained what we know and how we know it? How would that change society? Would a fact-based early childhood education make us more realistic about reality? Is fiction the driving force that makes us constantly reshape reality with alternative facts? Does fantasy consumption encourage fantasy viewpoints? What an idea for a science fiction/fantasy novel! Imagine our world without science fiction and fantasy.
Let's consider one more thing. What if we raised kids without fiction — at what age would they invent time travel on their own? When would they imagine building robots that could think like people, or traveling to Mars? Do we cheat our kids by telling them about all the far out ideas before they could invent them on their own?
Science fiction is a technology for transmitting speculative ideas, ones that writers have predigested for us, sort of like when Neo in The Matrix is taught martial arts with a program injected into his brain. I'm just wondering if we'd have more grit if we acquired our concepts through working out ideas ourselves.

Science Fiction–Old and New
At The Little Red Reviewer, they are having Vintage Science Fiction Month where readers post reviews of older science fiction books they've recently read. I read The Stars Are Ours! and it's sequel Star Born by Andre Norton, and The Drowned World by J. G. Ballard. I reviewed the process at my blog. But since then I've been thinking about why we read vintage science fiction, and if the why changes because of our age. Does someone who is twelve today, perceive The Stars Are Ours! different than I did when I was twelve in 1963?
I assume the main appeal of vintage science fiction is nostalgia, and most of us who read it are older. In other words, we've lived long enough for some books to age. Do they age like fine wine or a stack of old newspapers? What is the essence of vintage?
That we notice a difference implies books written in the 1950s are different from books written in the 2010s. From my perspective, that's true. Science fiction written in the 1920s has a distinctive style than science fiction written in any of the decades since. For proof of my point, check out The Pulp Magazine Archive. This site has scans of pulp magazines that you can read online, including early issues of Amazing Stories. I'm going to assume you'll agree with me that the stories change. Now the question: Do we change?
If I could send a copy of The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu back to my teenage self to read and write a review, how would it be different from the review I would write today? Even President Obama was impressed with this book. Do all of us experience the same wow or is that impact different if the reader is young or old? Or if readers back in the 1960s could read The Three-Body Problem would they perceive it as something very different? Could they sense that it was written in the future like my younger self could sense reading The Skylark of Space by E. E. Smith was very old, written in the past?
Maybe another way to approach my query is to ask: Does an older reader today feel The Drowned World is vintage science fiction in the same way a young reader would? Our feeling of "vintage" might be a sense of nostalgia, while a young person might define it as feeling old-fashioned and quaint. But what if the young reader hadn't read much science fiction? Would an unsophisticated 12-year-old reader of 2017 be that different from one in 1967? It could be possible they'd react to the story in many of the same ways.
When I first read Foundation by Isaac Asimov in the 1960s, I was reading stories written in the 1940s, and it didn't seem old or vintage. Could a kid today get an ebook copy of Star Flight by Andre Norton that reprints The Stars Are Ours! and Star Born, not noticed the 1954 and 1957 copyright dates, read these books and think they were written today? Or would they sense their vintage quality?

On September 20, 2013, the IRS released Notice 2013-60, which clarified Notice 2013-29. Each Notice addresses the requirement that construction of a qualified facility must begin before January 1, 2014, in order to be eligible for the renewable electricity production tax credit (PTC) or the 30 percent investment tax credit for energy property (ITC).1
A taxpayer can claim the PTC with respect to electricity produced at a "qualified facility" within the meaning of Section 45(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If the taxpayer makes an election under Section 48(a)(5) of the code, the taxpayer may instead claim the ITC with respect to that facility. Pursuant to changes made by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, in order to be a "qualified facility," construction of the facility must begin before January 1, 2014.
Notice 2013-29
The notice provided two methods that a taxpayer may use to establish that construction of a qualified facility has begun: (1) by starting "physical work of a significant nature" before January 1, 2014, and maintaining a continuous program of construction until the facility's completion or (2) by meeting the safe harbor set forth in the notice, which requires that the taxpayer pay, or incur, 5 percent or more of the total costs of the facility before January 1, 2014, and thereafter make continuous efforts to advance towards completion of the facility.2
Physical Work of a Significant Nature
When determining whether construction has begun, both work performed by the taxpayer and work performed for the taxpayer by other persons under a binding written contract that is entered into prior to the work taking place are taken into account. For these purposes, whether a contract is binding is generally a matter of state law. However, under the notice, a contract only is binding if, among other requirements, it does not limit damages to a specified amount (e.g., by use of a liquidated damages provision).3
Both on-site work and off-site work are considered to determine whether physical work of a significant nature has occurred. For example, in the case of a wind turbine, on-site physical work of a significant nature can begin by excavating for the foundation, setting anchor bolts into the ground, or pouring concrete pads of the foundation. If the property is to be assembled on-site from components manufactured off-site, physical work of a significant nature generally begins when the manufacture of the components begins at the off-site location.
Once commencing construction, a taxpayer must engage in "a continuous program of construction" in order to satisfy the physical work requirement. Notice 2013-29 provided that construction delays beyond a taxpayer's control will not cause a taxpayer to fail the requirement that the construction be continuous and lists several examples of matters that will usually not be considered to be within the control of a taxpayer:
5 Percent Safe Harbor
Under the 5 percent safe harbor, construction of a facility will be considered as having begun before January 1, 2014, if a taxpayer pays (in the case of a cash-basis taxpayer), or incurs (in the case of an accrual-basis taxpayer), 5 percent or more of the total cost of the facility before that date. As with the "physical work" test, a taxpayer relying on the 5 percent safe harbor must also make continuous efforts thereafter to advance towards completion of the facility. All costs properly included in the depreciable basis of the facility are taken into account to determine whether the safe harbor has been met.
When property is being manufactured or produced by another person under a binding written contract with a taxpayer, costs incurred with respect to the property by the other person (e.g., the manufacturer) before the property is provided to the taxpayer are treated as incurred by the taxpayer.
Whether a taxpayer has "incurred costs" requires a sometimes-nuanced analysis under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.461 and 1.446 and will depend on whether the taxpayer is on the cash or accrual basis of accounting, when goods are delivered (and services are rendered) to the taxpayer, and how payment is actually made.
Like the "physical work test," Notice 2013-29 also required the taxpayer to engage in a continuous program of construction until such time that the project is placed in to service.
Notice 2013-60
Notice 2013-60 contains a safe harbor for determining whether a program of construction will be treated as continuous. If a project that otherwise meets the 5 percent safe harbor or physical work test is placed into service before January 1, 2016, construction of such project will be deemed to be continuous without regard to the specific facts. Taxpayers who place projects into service after December 31, 2015 will have to demonstrate continuous program of construction based on all of the facts and circumstances, including the factors listed above.
Notice 2013-29 did not contain any guidance on whether a transfer of a project during construction had an impact on eligibility to claim the ITC or PTC. Silence on this point generated a lot of questions from taxpayers, because the guidance issued under the 1603 cash grant program limited the circumstances under which a project could be transferred while under construction and still be eligible for the cash grant. Notice 2013-60 makes clear that a taxpayer may claim the ITC or PTC for a project it places into service even if a different taxpayer owned the project when construction began. That is, the requirement that construction must begin before January 1, 2014 applies to the project rather than the taxpayer who eventually places the project into service.

3 Note that a contractual provision that limits damages to an amount equal to at least five percent of the total contract price will not be treated as limiting damages to a specified amount for this purpose.

A nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with monitoring of resident activities to help to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Retirement homes are also called retirement residences. Independent living is a general name for any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors. Senior Housing - find independent and assisted living facilities, nursing homes, retirement communities, and other elderly care. Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity. Nursing Home residents in a skilled nursing facility may also receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following an accident or illness. Senior Living - info and advice for older adults. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living. Generally, retirement homes are designed for seniors who need minimal to moderate support with their daily living activities. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. Nursing Home residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities. Some facilities provide minor help with medications as well. Retirement homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents.

Information technology -- Topic Maps -- Part 2: Data model
(Not available in French)
This standard was last reviewed and confirmed* in 2012.
ISO/IEC 13250-2:2006 specifies the Topic Maps data model. It defines the abstract structure and interpretation of topic maps, the rules for merging topic maps and a set of fundamental subject identifiers.
The purpose of the data model is to define the interpretation of the Topic Maps interchange syntax, and to serve as a foundation for the definition of supporting standards for canonicalization, querying, constraints, etc.

Obamateurism of the Day
posted at 8:01 am on September 14, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Yesterday, I asserted that Barack Obama was channeling Jimmy Carter on foreign policy. As it turns out, I was being unfair … to Jimmy Carter. How bad does a President have to be to get a correction from one of the worst Presidents of the modern age? This bad:
President Carter spoke to Drake University in Des Moines and was asked if he agrees with what Obama said about Egypt:
Carter: "Egypt is an ally of the US, we know Egypt well."
There have been few foreign policy stumbles as bad as Barack Obama's dismissal of the Egyptian alliance in memory, and few backtracks as blatantly embarrassing, either.
Got an Obamateurism of the Day? If you see a foul-up by Barack Obama, e-mail it to me at [email protected] with the quote and the link to the Obamateurism. I'll post the best Obamateurisms on a daily basis, depending on how many I receive. Include a link to your blog, and I'll give some link love as well. And unlike Slate, I promise to end the feature when Barack Obama leaves office.

Despite intense market volatility in September, the Caribbean country was able to raise $500 million with a debut global bond. The issue is an effort to develop the Dominican Republic's yield curve.
The government's main aim was to pique investor interest in
the country as a whole. "We considered it crucial for the
Dominican Republic to start participating in the international
capital markets, not only as a way to provide funds for the
government, but also to open the international capital market
to the private sector," says Andrés Dauhajre, managing
director of external financing for the Dominican Republic.

I honestly don't think I have ever laughed so much. I went with my partner and we are both in our 30's. Eric our tour guide was amazing. We had a really mixed group of all ages, pairings/ single travellers and backgrounds and I actually think I learnt more about Amsterdam in a couple of hours than I had during my whole stay. The tour is exactly what the title says. Expect culture, expect information, expect coffee shops but I did not expect this to be the highlight of our trip. It really was. I don't want to give too much away as I like the little surprises and the not knowing what to expect but i'd say no matter who you are or what group you are in, take this tour! My cheeks still ache when i think of this (from laughing) and when I got home the stories I could tell from this lasted for ages. I will be sending Eric a thank you once I locate the address. If you think your not sure you can always book it once over there, we booked it a few days before and just showed our mobile code.
We had a fantastic time walking around and learning about the history of Amsterdam. Felt safe with our guide and would highly recommend this to anyone going to Amsterdam
At first it looked casual tour, but after first stop it started. Tour was well organized, flow naturally. We visited really interesting spots and heard insane stories. It is impossible to do similar activities alone.
The tour guide was fun, exciting, and had a lot of knowledge about the city. Not only did we go to the ganja shops, but we also learned about the history behind the decriminalization of marijuana. Very interesting, thank you!
Me and my girlfriend planned this tour prior to coming to Amsterdam, cleverly booking it on the second day so that we would be more knowledgeable about the area. Instantly we were warmly welcomed by Valentino and then later by eric. Both were extremely friendly and open. The tour took us to various different coffee shops near the square and even to various historical buildings and museums the tour was so good and ended in a street of restaurants and a shop which sold Pineapple Express weed (awesome) which was perfect because we were starving. Thank you Eric for a wonderful time - Jake and Elise

Three-time Cy Young Award winner Pedro Martinez, who last played in the majors in 2009 with the Phillies, is planning to officially announce his retirement. In an interview with MLB.com, the 40-year-old right-hander said while he still had an urge to play, he was enjoying his family life too much to make a comeback. "I'm going to [officially announce it], I'm going to do it, but I want to throw a party, too," Martinez said. "I wouldn't say I wouldn't [play again] in any situation, but I find it very difficult for me to come back," he added. "Now I have tasted the normal life, life as a family member, being a family man, being a father. You know what? I like it, honestly. I do miss some of the things in baseball, but not all of it. I think right now my family's my priority." An eight-time All-Star, Martinez had a career record of 219-100 with a 2.93 ERA in 18 seasons. He played for the Dodgers, Expos, Red Sox, Mets and Phillies, winning the National League Cy Young Award with t...

A "kink" in the jet stream – a ribbon of fast-moving air flowing high above North Atlantic Ocean – is pushing a mass of hot air from the Spanish plateau towards Britain, the Met Office said.
The jet stream normally flows in a fairly straight line from west to east but in recent days it has meandered further south into an almost-stationary kink, flowing north from Spain.
While the meandering jet stream has brought unseasonably cool weather to parts of the eastern states of America, it is causing the heatwave to spread across Britain from southern England.
Following widespread Thutrsday night storms, the Met Office predicts that there will be more heavy thunderstorms on Saturday resulting from a "Spanish plume", when warm air from the continent is forced to rise rapidly when it meets the cooler air of the Atlantic – causing heavy downpours.
"There is potential for some intense thunderstorms on Saturday which could see large rainfall totals in a short space of time, which can cause flash flooding, as well as lightning and large hail," said Andy Page, chief meteorologist at the Met Office.
"However, there are a lot of factors that have to come together to set off this situation, so it remains a risk rather than a certainty at the moment. Our meteorologists will be monitoring this around-the-clock as the situation develops," Mr Page said.
Some scientist have linked stationary "kinks" in the jet stream to warmer overall temperatures and melting sea ice in the Arctic, causing by climate change. In summer they can produced prolonged hot, dry weather while in winter they can cause intense cold spells, they claim.Reuse content

Por el momento no tenemos ninguna oportunidad de voluntariado, trabajo o eventos.

Sobre nosotros
Among the New York City Bar's first activities in the 1870's was a campaign to defeat corrupt politicians and judges at the polls and to establish standards of conduct for those in the legal profession.
The City Bar continues to work at political, legal and social reform, and maintaining high ethical standards for the legal profession. We also continue to implement innovative means by which the disadvantaged may be helped. Much of this work is accomplished through the City Bar's more than 160 committees, each charged to consider a specific area of law or the profession.
To serve our 22,000 members, the Association strives to move ahead in many areas. The Library is the largest member-funded law library in the country, and provides members with a "gateway" to on-line services, including free use of LexisNexis and WestLaw, while continuing to provide more traditional library services. Our Small Law Firm center, Career Management program and other benefits are constantly evolving to serve members needs. Over 150 continuing legal education programs are presented annually.
