Research on what "global warming" and "climate change" mean, and when to use the terms
The growing threat of rising levels of greenhouse gases has been in the news for a good 30 years now, and a range of terms have been used to describe the consequences of inaction: "climate change," "global warming," "climate disruption," and more. The scientific community tends to use "climate change" in peer-reviewed literature, and many large international organizations, first and foremost the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, tie their identity to that term. Journalists often use the two terms interchangeably, the implicit assumption being that readers understand them to mean the same thing and that they have the same connotations.
A May 2014 study reveals that people can react to them differently, however, with significant implications for science journalism and communications. The study, "What's in a Name? Global Warming Versus Climate Change," is based on two nationally representative surveys, one conducted by the Yale Project on Climate Change and the other by the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication. (The research team consisted of Anthony Leiserowitz, Geoff Feinberg and Seth Rosenthal of Yale; Nicholas Smith of University College London; Ashley Anderson of Colorado State University; and Connie Roser-Renouf and Edward Maibach of George Mason University.)
In their introduction, the authors note that despite being used widely to describe the same set of phenomena, "climate change" and "global warming" are different:
Global warming refers to the increase in the Earth's average surface temperature since the Industrial Revolution, primarily due to the emission of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels and land use change, whereas climate change refers to the long-term change of the Earth's climate including changes in temperature, precipitation and wind patterns over a period of several decades or longer.
Use of the terms has gone back and forth, the researchers indicate, sometimes for ideological reasons: In 2001 President George W. Bush used "global warming" in several environmental addresses, but his administration was advised by Republican strategist Frank Luntz to employ "climate change" instead: "While 'global warming' has catastrophic connotations attached to it, 'climate change' suggests a more controllable and less emotional challenge," Luntz wrote. The White House followed his advice, and began to use "climate change" consistently. Internet data indicate that the public searches for the term "global warming" far more frequently, but that searches decreased significantly with the onset of the economic crisis.
To better understand how people react to the two terms and to explore their use, the researchers conducted two surveys in late 2013 and early 2014. The first asked 1,027 respondents about their familiarity with the terms, how often they heard them and which of the two they used more often. The second survey asked a nationally representative sample of 1,657 people a series of questions about the phenomena. For half of those surveyed, the questions used the term "global warming" and the other half, "climate change." Respondents were classified by age (Generation Y, 18-30; Generation X, 31-48, Baby Boom, 49-67; and Greatest Generation, 68 or older) as well as gender, race, political views, and religious convictions.
The surveys' results included:
- Based on the survey data, Americans are equally familiar with the two terms, but are four times more likely to report that they heard "global warming" in the public discourse. They are also twice as likely to say that they use the term "global warming" rather than "climate change" in conversations.
- For Republicans, the terms "global warming" and "climate change" are regarded as synonyms — neither is more engaging than the other, though "global warming" did result in stronger perceptions of personal or familial threats.
- Use of "climate change" appears to reduce engagement on the issue for a range of subgroups across age, political and gender lines. These included Democrats, independents, liberals and moderates; men, women and minorities; and different generations.
- In some cases, the difference in peoples' reactions could be significant: "African-Americans (+20 percentage points) and Hispanics (+22) are much more likely to rate global warming as a 'very bad thing' than climate change. Generation X (+21) and liberals (+19) are much more likely to be certain global warming is happening. African-Americans (+22) and Hispanics (+30) are much more likely to perceive global warming as a personal threat, or that it will harm their own family (+19 and +31, respectively). Hispanics (+28) are much more likely to say global warming is already harming people in the United States right now. And Generation X (+19) is more likely to be willing to join a campaign to convince elected officials to take action to reduce global warming than climate change."
- Use of "global warming" caused more intense worry about the issue, particularly among men, Generation Y, Generation X, Democrats, liberals and moderates. For men, Generation X, and liberals, use of "global warming" produced greater certainty that it was happening; for independents, greater understanding that human activities are the primary cause; and for independents and liberals, a greater understanding of the scientific consensus.
- "Global warming" was also associated with events such as melting glaciers, world catastrophe and other extreme phenomena. "Climate change" was associated more with general weather patterns.
"These diverse results strongly suggest that global warming and climate change are used differently and mean different things in the minds of many Americans," the researchers conclude. "Scientists often prefer the term 'climate change' for technical reasons, but should be aware that the two terms generate different interpretations among the general public and specific subgroups."
Related research: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration offers a number of reports related to climate change, including one titled "What's the Difference Between Global Warming and Climate Change?" that includes several data graphics. The Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri offers a guide to covering and defining what it calls "climate adaptation."

Media/analysis tips
Analysis assignments
Read the study-related Guardian article titled "Americans Care Deeply about 'Global Warming' -- but Not 'Climate Change'."
- Reporter's use of the study: Evaluate what the reporter chose to include and exclude from the study. Would the audience have acquired a clear understanding of the study's findings and limits from this article?
- Reporter's use of other material: Assess the material in the article that is not derived from the study. For example: Does the reporter place the study in the context of other research and to what effect? Does the reporter include reactions to the study from other researchers or interested parties (e.g., political groups, business leaders, or community members) and are their credentials or possible biases made clear?
Read the full study titled "What's in a Name? Global Warming Versus Climate Change."
- What are the study's key technical terms? Which ones need to be put into language a lay audience can understand?
- Do the study's authors put the research into context and show how they are advancing the state of knowledge about the subject? If so, what did the previous research indicate?
- What is the study's research method? If there are statistical results, how did the scholars arrive at them?
- Evaluate the study's limitations. (For example, are there weaknesses in the study's data or research design?)
- How could the findings be misreported or misinterpreted by a reporter? In other words, what are the difficulties in conveying the data accurately? Give an example of a faulty headline or story lead.
Newswriting and digital reporting assignments
- Write a lead, headline or nut graph based on the study.
- Spend 60 minutes exploring the issue by accessing sources of information other than the study. Write a lead (or headline or nut graph) based on the study but informed by the new information. Does the new information significantly change what one would write based on the study alone?
- Compose two Twitter messages of 140 characters or fewer accurately conveying the study's findings to a general audience. Make sure to use appropriate hashtags.
- Choose several key quotations from the study and show how they would be set up and used in a brief blog post.
- Map out the structure for a 60-second video segment about the study. What combination of study findings and visual aids could be used?
- Find pictures and graphics that might run with a story about the study. If appropriate, also find two related videos to embed in an online posting. Be sure to evaluate the credibility and appropriateness of any materials you would aggregate and repurpose.
Class discussion questions
- What is the study's most important finding?
- Would members of the public intuitively understand the study's findings? If not, what would be the most effective way to relate them?
- What kinds of knowledgeable sources you would interview to report the study in context?
- How could the study be "localized" and shown to have community implications?
- How might the study be explained through the stories of representative individuals? What kinds of people might a reporter feature to make such a story about the study come alive?

A map for the Chivalry & Sorcery RPG.
Quite a lot of sea.
Fairly well detailed.
Pretty good also, since it's free.
My first exposure to Chivalry & Sorcery. Amazing what you get for FREE. I am a fantasy 3.5 DM, got this to explore another type of game. All you need in 3 volumes to start and run a campaign.
What a fantastic game, it that good i got rid of my old D&D books. once you have played C&S, there is no going back
Book 1 + 2 are OCRed and reformatted. They messed up one Illustration on page 48 in Book 1 but everything else is perfect. Sadly Book 3 is only a scanned image with lot's of handwritten comments but everything is readable. Highly recommended for all who are interested in role playing in a strong medieval milieu and do not fear complex rules. And also good for all people who still play this game and want to save their precious originals from wear and tear.
This is an interesting adventure set in Marakush for Chivalry & Sorcery. It has also stats for HarnMaster. Also the two missing maps were added recently.
The product is a good edition to the Marakush/Anderia campaign for Chivalry & Sorcery, or for any fantasy RPG. The scan is pretty good, but the pdf is missing two maps from the print book (the map of Ynys Heddwch and the map of Caer Drometh, which were printed on the inside front and rear covers of the book respectively). This really limits the utility of the pdf.
I enjoyed reading it Steve, thanks. The dragon was fun, perhaps a worshiper of the ancient ones with a name like that. Methinks he could be delving into the works of the mad Arab and scrawling circles to protect from his own summoning's.
Character sheets help very much. Both formats look functional. Some downloadable full game versions would help too. Or those brief skillscape and combat explanations. Thanks again.
I like all the additions to the first set of rules and think they add much more of the original C&S combat system feel to the essence paradigm. The idea of an on-going journal is something that the game can use also.
Great. Now can you post a character sheet for the full game too? How about all the free downloads from the britannia site they were useful. Good one. Thanks.
It's a map. Production values are high, as always, but it's basically just a map. You can use it as the basis for your campaign, or you can mine it for ideas to include in your own campaign world maps. The price was good, though (free), so I chose to pull it down hunting for ideas for my own fantasy world. You can't really go wrong with free, though, so I encourage you to give it a whirl.
Where Heroes Fear To Tread is not a new release, but it is new to RPGNow. Its a short (and free) scenario for Chivalry & Sorcery Light, but as the game stats are all relegated to the back of the module, it can be treated as systemless and therefore usable with just about any system.
Were the GM to use this adventure in his own setting, he might have to make a few changes in the background of the adventure, as the default is (of course) flavored by Chivalry & Sorcery. Peasants aren't D&D peasants - they are dirt poor.
It's a basic delivery mission / ransoming of some NPCs, but the tweaks and surprises keep it fresh. My main issue is that a main scene has very little for the PCs to do, but that might be more a C&S issue then anything else. It's easy enough to change.
Did I mention its free?
Though I am not familiar with Chivalry & SorceryTM products, this is a good story line for any gamemaster to adapt to his or her game system. Written well and a twist that was not expected upon reading the first part was great. Goes to show Lawful Good or Knightly orders can show human faults.
I saw reference to Dark Elves but saw no dark elves in the adventure. Like I said not familiar with this game system, perhaps Dark elves are too powerful for this particular level of setting. Though a good gamemaster of say D20 system could add a 2nd level Dark Elf Sorcerer as an antagonist
I would suggest to all D20 gamemaster the adventures should not be above level 2, perhaps 3 for the scale of the adventure does not seem fit for a party of characters who could easly throw a few 3rd level spells.
A group of pure casters would have trouble as there is much more melee action involved as say trap detection, or riddle solving.
The adventure is very streight forward and can be accomplished quickly, very good. On a scale I would give it a 7 of 10.

Puntos Fuertes: it's good
Puntos Débiles: my ear piece broke
my ear piece broke and i've only had the phone for three mouths and the same thing happend to my brothers friends l6 whitch is not a very good thing and i see a lot of people have got the l6 now i know 3 people that have it
Puntos Fuertes: - Ease Of Use - Ergonomics - Battery Life - Size - Speaker Phone Works Great - Features
Puntos Débiles: - Dust accumulating between the lens and the LCD screen. I keep it in my pants pocket all the time so it's a lint prone environment. It's not an issue. Just something to note.
It's my first non-flip cell phone, ever. I wondered how I'd like it. It took a couple weeks to get used to. I've loved it since. I'm a 47 year old guy. It's thin size makes for easy front pants pocket storage. I wear blue jeans most often and I have to check to see if it's there. I quickly got used to it's shape. I wondered if it would be too thin to handle properly, but it's just fine. The dual...
Puntos Fuertes: Style. Ease of operation. Cost.
Puntos Débiles: External memory incompatibility Applications downloading not provided. More features could have been provided.
Hello The L6 is a sleek phone, elegant and easy to carry. The length of the phone could be reduced or if it is to be maintained like this, the display could have been bigger. TFT would have been cool. The battery backup is not as good as the other Moto phones. Downloadable applications could have been provided and adding memory card could have been added as the feature as competitors in other...
Puntos Fuertes: Small sleek. Battery seems very good on standby (it lasted 5 days). Can charge your phone using a 'standard' usb cable (one that fits a digitial camera).
Puntos Débiles: No software with the phone for syncing with your computer. No headset! Keys are a little small.
My version of this L6 phone came straight from Motorola so no service provider bells and whistles were installed. There is nothing in the box except the phone and charger, not even a headset. In fact, I am not even sure if you can connect a headset to this phone-it has no seperate socket! The L6 has only one socket - a small usb socket. This is fantastic because if you have a usb lead from...

Journey through Lent with the best devotional writing of pastor and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Click to sign up.
3:15 The Lord. The Hebrew is Yahweh, probably derived from the Hebrew verb for "to be" (thus meaning "he is" or "he will be"). The corresponding first person is 'ehyeh, "I am." Note the parallels: "I am has sent me" (v. 14) and "The Lord [Yahweh] . . . has sent me" (v. 15). See theological note " 'This Is My Name': God's Self-disclosure" on the next page.
remembered throughout all generations. Yahweh, the divine name particularly associated with God's covenant relationship with Israel, was henceforth to be used in worship. English versions of the Old Testament usually render this Hebrew name as "the Lord," following the practice of the New Testament, and of the Jews in the intertestamental period. The Jews thought the name too holy to pronounce, and when reading the text substituted 'adonay ("my Lord"). The vowel signs for 'adonay were later added to the Hebrew consonants of Yahweh as a pronunciation reminder, and this hybrid form was rendered "Jehovah" by William Tyndale's English translation (a.d. 1530). In the New Testament, Lord (Yahweh) is applied to Jesus (Rom. 10:13, citing Joel 2:32).

A Guide to Men's Dress Shirt Collars
Collars like you wouldn't believe
We believe in having a mix of collar styles. From deep cutaways to classic points and everything in between, we've got a style that works for any occasion you can imagine.
Other sites and menswear bloggers might suggest that you should get a collar that counter-balances your face - e.g., if you have a longer face, you should wear spread collars, or if you have a rounder face, you should wear a point collar. We think this is bogus. You should enjoy a collar that matches your own personal style, and not worry about following someone else's rules for what they feel might look good on you. The most important thing is to have a shirt that fits, everything else is personal preference.
A Guide to Men's Dress Shirt Collars
Tall Spread Collar
Our most formal collar. The formality comes in the form of a high collar band, and why we call this collar "tall." The higher collar band gives this collar an upright, formal stand, which is best worn under a blazer or suit jacket. Incredibly versatile collar that works great professionally or casually and with a variety of tie knots and sizes.
Cutaway Collar
Our most popular collar, for good reason. It works with everything. The Cutaway Collar has a subtle Euro feel to it, and looks good with patterned or solid shirts. It can be dressed up or down - with a suit and tie, or with denim. We love it because it gives a subtle rakishness to any look that no other collar style has.
Button Down Collar
Our Button-Down Collar evolved after a tremendous amount of trial and error trying to find the right proportions. It's an incredibly common place collar, but it was important for us to get the height, roll and look and feel of the collar right. We landed on a medium sized collar that walks the line between modern and classic perfectly. It has just the right amount of interlining to have a perfect roll when worn casually or with a tie for a more prep inspired look.
Club Collar
Inspired by the early 20th century, when rounded Eton or "club" collars were considered a classic mainstay of a man's wardrobe. Ours is simple and classic and has just enough interlining so that it sits perfectly under a jacket with a tie. We think it's a great twist on a traditional shirt.
The Banded Collar
Often called a "Mandarin Collar" or "Nehru Collar" is one of our new collars. It is essentially a slimmer collar band, without a collar blade or fold to the collar. It's a pretty versatile collar, with the ability to be worn more formally, or incorporated into more everyday designs.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/enterta...end/4309231.htm
Welcome to Ballet Alert! Online, and thank you for posting these! I wish I had seen these performances.
I thought Elizabeth Zimmer's piece was lovely, especially for someone who recently wrote she was one who truly believes ballet is dead. I think her review shows a sound appreciation of the art
It was especially interesting to me that both writers noted that the company is a true ensemble, with good performances from dancers at all ranks. That's one of the best signs of a ballet company's health, I think.
Come on, Philadelphians. I know you're out there. Did you go? What did you think? Which did you like best, Apollo, Bugaku or Scotch Symphony??
Ok, I'll bite. I thought the best performances were given in Bugaku, though that's my least favorite ballet of the three. Valerie Amiss was surprisingly good as the bride- she's typically a soft, lyrical dancer, so this role was a stretch for her, but I thought she carried it off well. I liked Scotch Symphony, too, but Jennifer Smith, who I normally love, seemed a bit overwhelmed by her costume (kilt, etc.). Is that role normally given to a short dancer?
As for Apollo, I thought the muses- Arantxa Ochoa and Riolama Lorenzo (who I think is a new transplant from NYCB), in particular- were wonderful, but I felt indifferent to the performance of corps member James Ihde in the title role. He has the appropriate physique, but not the stage presence for that part, I think. Elizabeth Zimmer once praised him in a role where he looked like "a regular guy at ease on the dance floor" (can't remember the ballet- a Trey McIntyre piece, maybe?) and I think it's in those type of parts where he truly shines.
I'm glad to see Lorenzo back dancing! PA Ballet has quite a few NYCB alums, I'll have to try and catch them on tour.
Posted January 10, 2003
As I said in another area,I've been away for awhile. ANYWAY... I too thought Valerie was wonderful in Bugaku, don't look for her too much more during this season though. I understand that she and her husband, fellow PA Ballet soloist Edward Cieslak, are anticipating an addition to their family toward the end of this season.

It wasn't all that long ago that manufacturing machines, such as 3D printers and CNC mills were relegated to the factory floor because of their size and tendency to need or produce undesirable compounds, such as coolants, smoke, chips, solvents, etc. Today, however, there are a number of desktop 3D printers and milling machines available. Until relatively recently, though, one of the major manufacturing processes that hadn't appeared on the desktop was injection molding. That's about to change with the advent of the APSX-PIM desktop plastic molding machine from Advanced Production Systems (APSX).
Injection molding machines are known for being large and expensive machines that require significant infrastructure, steep learning curve, and high maintenance. For these and other reasons most individual makers and small businesses don't have access to an injection molding machine, so APSX decided to make one that could be used by organizations with budget and space constraints.
Controlled from a 10″ touch screen tablet control panel, the APSX-PIM works by compressing a spring to create the injection pressure, and injecting the melted plastic material into an aluminum mold. This small plastic injection molding machine is easy to setup and operates as fully automatic (fedd/inject/eject) with sensors and electronic temperature control with no need for a water supply for cooling.
According to the company, the APSX-PIM can cost less than typical conventional molds. That brings up the issue of cost. The company is nearing the end of a Kickstarter campaign for scaling up production capacity. If the campaign is successful, the cost of the APSX-PIM could be under $10,000. If the campaign is not successful, price for the machine will be $12,500.
The APSX-PIM Plastic Injection Molding Machine
The PIM was entirely designed by APSX using Autodesk's Fusion 360 and Geomagic Design and is being manufactured in Cincinnati, OH.
Specs on the APSX-PIM include:
- Piston Dia [in]: 1
- Injection Volume [cu-in]: 1.83
- Injection Pressure [PSI]: 5000
- Clamping Force [lbs]: 15000
- Opening Stroke [in]: 6
- Ejector Stroke [in]: 3
- Weight [lbs]: 250
- Max Mold Size [in]: 4.8 (W) X 6.0 (H)
- Min Mold Height [in]: 4
- Machine Dimensions [in]: 43 (L) X 12 (W) X 15 (H)
- Max Processing temp [F]: 600
- Power Supply [V]: 115
- Heating Power [W]: 1200
- Warranty: 1 year
- Plastic Materials for Injection: HDPE, PP, TPO, PS, ABS, or any other plastic material with a melt flow rate greater than 15 g/10 minutes.
APSX-PIM Machine Layout (All Dimensions In Inches)
As with any injection molding machine, the APSX-PIM must be vented to dissipate hot plastic fumes and prevent them from accumulating.
Orders for the patent-pending machine are being taken today from the company's website and delivery is approximately four weeks, as the company is in the process of building several machines.
Who could benefit from this machine? APSX claims that CNC machinists, product design studios, high-tech medical equipment manufacturers, mold manufacturers, injection molders, engineering and technical schools, and DIY hobbyists could benefit.

Technology is ready for MBD, and so is SOLIDWORKS. Model-Based Definition (MBD) is the ASME Y14 series method for defining a product using its 3D model geometry as the basic dimensions in conjunction with the digitally associated 3D annotations as the geometric tolerance definition. Additional related Model-Based "X" exist (representing functional areas such as: Systems Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality), but MBD births the product as it moves into downstream lifecycle processes.

St. James' Anglicans bid farewell to church
NEWPORT BEACH – About 80 people Sunday attended the last Mass that will be celebrated at St. James Anglican Church. It was a bittersweet service that brought some parishioners to tears.
The Anglican parish, which has been feuding with its parent affiliation for nearly a decade, was ordered by an Orange County Superior Court judge in May to surrender the property to the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles.
"We're obviously disappointed," the Rev. Richard Crocker said. "We thought the agreement in 1991 that the church property belongs to the parish would have settled this, but the court saw it differently. We have a good heart and believe God has other plans for us."
St. James Anglican Church, sitting just a few blocks from the ocean, was built in 1945 with a vaulted ceiling, thick wooden beams and stained glass windows. The 500-member congregation will relocate to the Mariners Christian School auditorium in Costa Mesa, Crocker said.
Sunday's service followed a nine-year dispute between the St. James Anglican congregation and the national Episcopal Church and Los Angeles diocese.
Before aligning with the Anglican Church, a majority of the members of the St. James congregation voted in 2004 to disaffiliate with the Episcopal Church for theological and ideological reasons; chief among them was their disapproval of the ordination of an openly gay bishop in 2003. The parishioners at St. James joined two congregations, in Long Beach and North Hollywood, to secede from their parent Episcopal affiliation. In 2006, a parish in La Crescenta also broke away from the Episcopal Church.
"The ordaining of a gay bishop was only part of it," Crocker said. "In truth, there were other underlying concerns that had been bottled up for a long time."
That contentious split simmered over the next several years in court where the two sides battled for control of the church property on Via Lido.
The Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles filed a lawsuit to take back its properties in 2004. An Orange County court initially ruled the property belonged to the parish, but a series of appeals and higher court rulings sided with the diocese.
In May, an Orange County Superior Court judge struck the final blow, ruling that the Newport Beach church belongs to the Los Angeles diocese and imposing a $1 million bond if St. James Anglican Church elected to remain on the property during an appeal.
Crocker said St. James Anglican will appeal.
Tustin residents Jim Dale, the former senior warden at St. James Anglican Church, and his wife, Cheri Dale, one of the leaders of the Women's Ministry at the church, were married there on Oct. 30, 2004. They said Sunday was "a very sad day for the congregation."
Robert Williams, canon for community relations at the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, said the diocese has made plans to resume Episcopal Church services on the property.
The name will revert to St. James Episcopal Church with weekly services starting Oct. 6.
"The court has consistently affirmed that local property is held in trust for the current and future ministry of the Diocese and the wider Episcopal Church," Williams said, adding the court also has returned church properties in Long Beach, North Hollywood and La Crescenta to the diocese.
Bishop Joseph Jon Bruno of the Los Angeles diocese said: "The most important thing is to set up a structure to resume Episcopal Church services in the Newport Beach and Balboa area."
Bruno said he has reached out to the St. James Anglican congregation.
"Our arms are open, if they'd like to come back to the Episcopal Church," Bruno said.
Bishop Bruno has appointed a vicar, the Rev. Canon Cindy Evans Voorhees, as senior pastor at St. James Episcopal Church.
Crocker told his St. James Anglican parishioners they have an opportunity to start fresh at a new church.
"The walls will be different, the ceiling and the floors, but the message of Jesus will be the same," Crocker said.

Networking issue with Chromecast and Mobile devices
I have a small issue. I can't seem to get my Nexus 5 to connect to my CC when I am downstairs and the CC is upstairs. When I am downstairs I'm connected to the main router and the CC is upstairs connected to the Access Point.
The access point is networked properly as I can do everything from my laptop downstairs with no issue. If the laptop is connected to the main router (downstairs) I can share my chrome tabs with the CC upstairs. I can also view shared files of people connected to the AP (besides the point)
It seems that I cannot connect my N5 or S5 to the CC from downstairs. Mobile devices don't seem to want to view anything connected to the AP. When I try to ping the AP with my N5 I get "Destination Host unreachable" and when pining anything connected to the AP I get nothing.
Any idea on what setting is missing on the routers to allow mobile devices to see the network properly?
Edit: It seems that even being downstairs, I can't ping a computer that's hardwired to the router. But my laptop downstairs can...
Basically, from my phone I can ping anything wireless connected to the router downstairs. Even the wired desktop can't ping my phone but wireless laptop can.

Re: Networking issue with Chromecast and Mobile devices
Sorry but I am having a really hard time following what you are saying.
My first suggestion would be to simply check and make sure you don't have WiFi Isolation turned on anywhere, and make sure the IP's of all of the devices are on the same subnet.

Hardware virtualization and cloud computing allowed us to increase resource utilization and increase our flexibility to respond to business demand. Docker Containers are the next quantum leap - Are they?! Databases always represented an additional set of challenges unique to running workloads requiring a maximum of I/O, network, CPU resources combined with data locality.

As software becomes more and more complex, we, as software developers, have been splitting up our code into smaller and smaller components. This is also true for the environment in which we run our code: going from bare metal, to VMs to the modern-day Cloud Native world of containers, schedulers and micro services. While we have figured out how to run containerized applications in the cloud using schedulers, we've yet to come up with a good solution to bridge the gap between getting your contain...

This review is from: EAGLE TECH Arion Black ET-ARHP100-BK 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Stereo Headphones for Computers / Smartphones / Tablets /MP3 Players
Pros: Headband.. i guess they're light..
Cons: These by far the worst sounding headphones I have ever put on my head to try to enjoy music with. Just terrible.
20Hz-20kHz?? yea right, neither the highs are what they are supposed to be nor the lows.
"But for the price they are great" - who ever says this, seriously, garbage is garbage. Don't buy this, even if you can get it for 10 bucks from newegg flash.
Other Thoughts: The headband doesn't have that angle to accommodate your ears facing slightly forward, and it can get a bit uncomfortable after a while, but if they served their purpose (made good sound) they wouldn't have been so bad, because the headband is nice and light and very elastic.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Logitech M310 Big Top Stripe 1 x Wheel USB RF Wireless Mouse
Pros: Bought this for my mom's laptop and she loves it especially the mini receiver that doesnt get in the way.
Cons: This is me really picking at it but not a con for me just noting it.
The clicking is a little louder. I had another logitech mouse, the smaller grey one and the clicking on that is noticeably quieter.
Again I don't think this really matters, just pointing it out
This review is from: PQI POWER Series 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory Model MD441GUOE
Pros: Worked right out of the box, great memory
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: I was very worried about buying extra memory for my dad's computer but I took a chance.
The computer had 1 gb of ram at 2.5 v with timings 3-4-4-8 and I couldn't find any memory like this and this PQI memory didnt have those specs. I got it anyway and put it in the computer separately and look at the timings with everest and they were also 3-4-4-8 and voltages matched and everything matched so now its all good.
Make sure your timings are the same if you are upgrading
Oh and thank you newegg!

Christina Milian was served divorce papers from her husband The-Dream nine days before she gave birth.
The 32-year-old producer - real name Terius Nash - claimed his marriage was "irretrievably broken" in the papers, which were filed on February 17.
The 'Dip It Low' singer gave birth to daughter Violet just over a week later on February 26.
Earlier this month, The-Dream claimed he felt suicidal in the wake of his split from the singer after just five months of marriage.
He blogged: "I've cried about this for months, after interviews, after prayer and I've tried to take my own life at a point because of the failure that was looming.
"This is not to justify anything, it's true emotion! It's a real thing that involves real people!"
Christina and The-Dream married in the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas, just a week before announcing she was pregnant with their first child together.
He recently confessed to having spent little time with Violet since her birth - because Christina was protective of their daughter.
He said: "Christina's very attached. She doesn't let anybody near that baby. Not even me sometimes!"
Christina Milian divorced before birth
The-Dream filed for divorce from Christina Milian just nine days before she gave birth to their first daughter Violet.

This proposal focuses on the role of receptor tyrosine kinases in rendering motor neurons susceptible to neurodegenerative insults. TrkB is activated by its ligand, brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Several independent laboratories show that blocking TrkB activation in vitro can protect neurons from specific insults. Despite the heresy of these observations, we have seen the same phenomenon in vitro and in a specific in vivo circumstance.
In specific aim #1 we will investigate the temporal aspect of this process by putting the mutant SOD mouse on a TrkBF616A background. TrkBF616A can be specifically antagonized by the orally active, blood brain barrier permeable agent, 1NMPP1. A second receptor tyrosine kinase of interest is the Insulin/Insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-R). In model organisms (and recently in mice) a conserved stress resistance pathway is evoked when the activity of the IGF-R is reduced. The FOXO3a transcription factor plays a key role in this process in worms and flies, but its function in vertebrates is unknown.
In specific aim #2, we will determine if loss of FOXO3a ameliorates or exacerbates the mutant SOD mouse motor neuron disease. In the course of our investigations of FOXO3a, we found a marine sponge compound (Psammaplysene A, PA) that promotes nuclear localization of the transcription factor and is broadly neuroprotective in in vitro and in vivo models of neurodegeneration. While the evidence is strong that the compound works through FOXO3a, the precise molecular target is not known.
In specific aim #3, several approaches will be employed to find the target and pathway through which PA acts. Overall this work attempts to find new disease modifiers that slow the progression of motor neuron disease. If successful, new therapeutic targets will emerge.
It is not known why specific neuronal populations are vulnerable to the toxic effects of neurodegenerative stimuli. In this proposal we will examine the role played by two signaling pathways in rendering motor neurons susceptible to insults relevant to Lou Gehrig's disease. In addition, we have identified a small molecule with remarkable neuroprotective activity. In this proposal we will determine the molecular target of this molecule and the signaling pathway through which it operates.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Condo has been listed for short sale since May. Had a buyer and Chase/Freddie Mac rejected the offer. They wanted $10k more. Property was placed back on the market for the price they wanted. 4 wks later, had a buyer. Realtor submitted all info at the end of Aug., had the trustee sale pushed back until end of Oct. and Chase/Freddie AGAIN rejected it. Now they want $20k more and together with a ridiculous contribution amount, everything exceeds what I owe. Is it even possible for them to do this? If I tried to reinstate the loan, is it worth hiring an attorney to help negotiate the fees incurred during the time Chase/Freddie have been giving me the run-around? Naturally, I'm worried about hiring an attorney only to find out that I'd have to pay them more than the fees that I'd like waived.
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Attorney
"reasonable" is a relative term here. If they can show 15 hours of attorney time, then $4k to $5k is reasonable.
Unfortunately, there is nothing rare about the bank increasing it's payoff demand as housing values increase.
Chapter 13 is a possible way to forcibly cure the loan; you would pay the arrears over five years and wrap most of your attorney fees into the plan. We can usually get people into the office in a day or so for these.
Short sales are optional. Lenders are only willing to consider short sales if they feel the offer is at fair market value, and they believe you have a hardship to justify requesting forgiveness on the loan balance. Once a bank receives a short sale offer, they will do their own "BPO" or broker price opinion of the property. If you lose a buyer, and present a new offer 4 weeks later, the bank may do a new BPO, and in an appreciating market, the bank may counter that they want a higher offer. If they ask for a cash contribution, it is based upon what they believe you can bring to the table, but this is often negotiable. You should be working with an experienced short sale realtor on your behalf, and certainly a NV real estate attorney as well. Ask upfront what the legal fees and make sure you have a written fee agreement. If you want to stop the short sale process and reinstate the loan, you need to obtain a written reinstatement quote and make sure you reinstate prior to the foreclosure date. The first thing to do is to have a consultation with a NV real estate attorney as soon as possible.

SeaWorld survives "Blackfish," but wave of backlash threatens
Ever since the movie "Blackfish" hit U.S. theaters this summer, executives at SeaWorld have insisted that the critical documentary, which condemns the company for keeping killer whales in captivity, has had a negligible impact on its business.
But in recent weeks, four musical acts – Barenaked Ladies, Willie Nelson, Heart and Cheap Trick – have canceled concerts that had been scheduled for early next year at SeaWorld Orlando.
The cancellations are helping sustain "Blackfish" in the public consciousness, raising the risk that the film and its criticisms could do lasting damage to SeaWorld's brand.
"It keeps the candle burning on 'Blackfish,' " said Dennis Speigel, president of International Theme Park Services Inc., a consulting firm in Cincinnati. "It's kind of like a snowball: It starts to roll, and then it gets bigger."
SeaWorld spokesman Fred Jacobs last week characterized the impact of the film as minimal. He said attendance at the company's three SeaWorld parks – in Orlando, San Diego and San Antonio – was "very strong" during the busy summer months and has remained strong since.
"I think most people who are aware of 'Blackfish' can see that the film makes no attempt at a fair and complete telling of the SeaWorld story and that it really is something close to animal-rights propaganda," Jacobs said.
The movie has also not dented SeaWorld's financial performance. The company says it is on pace to post core earnings of almost $440 million on revenue of nearly $1.5 billion in 2013, both of which would be company records.
The withdrawals threaten to sabotage SeaWorld's "Bands, Brew and BBQ" program, an annual series that SeaWorld Orlando SeaWorld Entertainment's biggest and most profitable park – depends on to drive traffic during the typically slow midwinter months.
Some of the acts have been careful not to take sides in the emotionally charged captivity debate.
But others have publicly condemned SeaWorld.
"I don't agree with the way they treat their animals. What they do at SeaWorld is not OK," Willie Nelson said in an interview with CNN. (SeaWorld initially said that Nelson canceled because of "scheduling conflicts.")
"Blackfish" revisits the darkest chapter in SeaWorld's 50-year history: the February 2010 death of SeaWorld Orlando trainer Dawn Brancheau, killed by the 6-ton killer whale Tilikum, the largest orca in captivity and an animal involved in two previous human deaths.
The death spawned a continuing legal war between SeaWorld and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which has recommended that SeaWorld trainers never again be allowed to perform in close contact with killer whales, a standard that would prevent SeaWorld trainers from swimming with the animals during shows.
Among other arguments, "Blackfish" suggests that the stress of life in captivity may have caused the animal to lash out.
SeaWorld is seeing smaller crowds this year, as chain-wide attendance fell by nearly 1 million visitors through the first nine months of the year, to 18.9 million. But the company's attendance trends have actually improved since "Blackfish" entered the marketplace.
For instance, SeaWorld's attendance sank 9 percent during the April-through-June quarter, before many people had ever even heard of "Blackfish." That narrowed to a 5.7 percent drop in July, when the movie arrived in theaters – and when SeaWorld drew attention to the film by attacking it in an unsolicited letter sent to film critics.
The decline shrank to 1.8 percent in August and September. And SeaWorld executives told analysts that year-over-year attendance was flat in October and early November, when "Blackfish" was repeatedly aired on CNN.
"I suspect that SeaWorld has lost more attendance from not having their trainers in the water than they have from people being upset about animal captivity," said Robert Niles, publisher of ThemeParkInsider.com, a popular industry-news website.
SeaWorld, for its part, blames the smaller crowds on unusually heavy rains in Florida and Virginia and a strategic decision to sacrifice some attendance to charge higher prices and steer ticket sales through more profitable channels.
"Blackfish" supporters hope the film's impact will be magnified as more celebrities distance themselves from the company.
Criticism from such high-profile figures could ultimately prove very damaging for SeaWorld, said David Kirby, author of the book "Death at SeaWorld," which, like "Blackfish," focuses on Dawn Brancheau's death and Tilikum.
"I think the ripple effect is even greater. Only so many people are going to see a documentary or read a book. But everybody knows who Willie Nelson is," Kirby said.

ROME -- Fresh off a title in Madrid and back at No. 2 in the rankings, Roger Federer defeated Carlos Berlocq 6-3, 6-4 in his opening match at the Italian Open on Wednesday.
Seeking to win one of only three Masters 1000 events he's never claimed, Federer dealt with the swirling wind inside the 10,500-seat stadium at the Foro Italico, coming to the net often to finish points.
Rafael Nadal, who was replaced by Federer at No. 2 with his Madrid Open victory Sunday, beat Florian Mayer 6-1, 7-5 to avenge a defeat in his only previous meeting with the 28th-ranked German.
Federer, though, said his ranking isn't that important.
"I look at the big picture and what is important to me is just to be in the top 10 and if I am No. 2 or not at the French Open doesn't change anything, and it doesn't change anything for Rafa," Federer said. "That I was able to win Madrid was amazing, and that is what I look at right now -- not the rankings."
Federer next plays former No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero, the 2001 Rome champion.
Federer won 18 of 23 points at the net and held a 24-13 edge in winners against the 38th-ranked Berlocq in their first meeting.
Federer has reached the final twice in Rome, losing to Felix Mantilla in 2003 and to Nadal in a fifth-set tiebreaker in 2006.
While his ranking improved to No. 2, Federer is seeded No. 3 this week.
Federer considered skipping this tournament to stay fresh after playing a full week in Madrid, but said he decided to play "this morning after practice."
With the top eight seeds getting first-round byes, it gave him an extra day off.
"At least here we have two days off, which can be a lifesaver," he said. "I don't think I would have played this tournament if I would have had one day off."
In other matches, 14th-seeded Juan Monaco cruised past Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic 6-4, 6-2; and Marcel Granollers of Spain eliminated Italian wild card Fabio Fognini 6-3, 6-4.

It seems as though olives have been around since the beginning of time. Grown throughout most of the world, the Mediterranean area is home to almost 90 percent of the world's olive trees.
From the beginning, the calming and healing properties of olive oil has been recognized, which may account for the olive branch having long been used as a symbol of peace.

The Summer Reading Club program has come to an end at Rourk Branch Library. The theme this year was "Make A Splash: Read!" It made a "splash" with reading and special guests.
The Lelepali family returned again this year, getting the program off to a start with their musical talents, celebrating the diversity of the tropical islands. Readers were treated to songs and dances spanning cultures from Tahiti to Hawaii.
