Is it possible to find infinite countable set that is subset of
infinite uncountable set
What is Z
for example infinite countable set of set (0,1) . I need to find infinite countable set of that is subset of (0,1) and also uncountable set that is proper subset of (0,1)
every text book have example of proving set (0,1) is infinite uncountable. But I am lost how to find these 2 things. I think it trows me of because (0,1) is uncountable
It is the case that the set $\displaystyle (0,1)$ in indeed uncountable.
The set of rational numbers, $\displaystyle \mathbb{Q}$, is countable.
Any subset of a countable set is countable.
So $\displaystyle \mathbb{Q} \cap (0,1)$ is a countable subset of $\displaystyle (0,1)$.
And the set of irrational numbers in (0, 1) is an uncountable proper subset.

subset: commoncrawl

My hunny and I have been together going on 5 years. We have bought a house, everything is in both our names. We act like a married couple but whenever I bring up maybe a ring if anything he acts like he does not hear me. He used to call me his Fiance and I noticed he now stumbles over girlfriend. When I said something to him he got flustered and now I am his Fiance again. I realize we have issues if we get married, he is Jewish but does not practice, and I am Methodist. Outside wedding is fine with me, a justice of the peace is fine also. I am lost here. He shows me honeymoon spots, and wedding dresses he likes or a style of bridesmaids dresses and if I get excited and look around for more he gets cross. Am I wasting my time with the want to get married? I won't leave him unless he tells me to get out, he is my soul-mate. I have relatives who have been married more than once, and they give us a lot of bs about not being married. should I just stop dreaming and wait for him to say we are doing it? Or should I push slightly?Answer Question

Strongsville schools will tighten security at building entrances, increase police presence
STRONGSVILLE, Ohio -- This summer, the Strongsville City School District will tighten security at the main entrances to its five elementary schools, the Early Learning Preschool and Strongsville High School's athletic wing. When improvements are completed, visitors to the schools will face a double-screening process. District workers will identify visitors before buzzing them into the main office.
Once visitors are inside, workers will determine why they are there and where in the building they need to go. To finish the work before the 2018-2019 school year starts, the school board last month waived a requirement to seek formal bids for construction jobs. Ohio law allows exceptions to the bidding process "for the security and protection of school property."
"To be clear, if we did the process the way we normally would, those bids would have to come back to board meetings, we'd have to vote on them, and time is of the essence," board member Richard Micko said at the April 5 board meeting. "We want to get this this work done this summer." Meanwhile, the district is working with the City of Strongsville to beef up police presence at the elementary schools and preschool. The increased coverage started April 30, although the district wants to keep the details secret for the sake of security.
"The safety of our students, teachers, staff and administration throughout the district is our top priority," Superintendent Cameron Ryba said in a press release. Strongsville and other local districts started examining their security after 17 people were shot dead Feb.
14 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. In March, Ryba and Strongsville police officials reviewed the schools' existing security, and talked about future improvements, during a public forum at Strongsville Middle School.
Strongsville schools lay out security plans, will not arm teachers During the forum, Ryba said the district, among other measures, planned to enhance security at the elementary schools and was considering adding security personnel. The district has already added a second resource officer, this one assigned to the middle school.
Another resource officer continues to serve the high school. Ryba, in an email to cleveland.com, said the district would be unable to finish the improved school entrances by the start of next school year if it had to advertise for bids, choose winning bidders for various aspects of the job and get board approval for each bid. Nevertheless, Ryba said the district will informally seek competitive bids with help from its general contractor, RFC Contracting Inc. in Strongsville.
For any contract exceeding £50,000, the administration will ask for board approval, as required by district policy, but after the fact.
Ryba said the district had no cost estimate for the project.
He said an estimate will become available once designs are finalized.

So you've come across sensors who do not understand the concept of outer space? Well, I'm sure you'll be able to find intuitives who can't understand it either, you'll just have to look a little harder since they are only about a quarter of the population. How does not knowing the alphabet relate to this young adult being SF? I'd first suspect some unusual living circumstances, or a learning disability.... why relate it to type of all things?Now for you Sensors. I'm not engaging in Sensor hatred here. But one thing I have noticed is how grounded you people are. I'm not talking about those who use a high amount of Intuition. I'm talking about those high-use Sensors who don't understand the concept of "outer space," or "galaxy," or "satellite," where this is not due to having a low IQ. These are extremes, of course. But extremes are helpful in understanding a mindset. And I'm not talking from theory, as I said, but from personal experiences I've had with people throughout the years. And my personal experience is utterly astonished by the variety of perspectives, for example, the SF young adult who doesn't know her alphabet yet.
If being an extreme intuitive means no interest in surroundings, why would an extreme intuitive bother to color their hair and pierce their ears? If possibilities are not realities, then an extreme intuitive would be more likely to just think about coloring their hair and never bother to actually do it because the reality of their hair color is irrelevant, right?But then, at the same extreme of the Intuitive, there is on the contrary no interest in the immediate present surroundings, and that's also a problem. This person is very disorganized and disoriented in the real world. Possibilities are not realities, and for this person, never will be. This person's style of dress will be totally off-key, for example, a heterosexual male with long, straight, green hair, and wearing earrings. This is just a sign to the external world that something is not right. I'm not, however, saying that it's wrong. But extremes are rarely if ever healthy. This person likely thinks there is something wrong; however, the problem is with you and not with him. An Intuitive who is more socially functional will dress with an individual flair, and only go the "crazy" route during times of extreme stress.
Also, how is this style extreme?

I was just thinking of this thread when I was watching a documentary about a guy who is doing stem cell research. He appears very much a feeler- perhaps of the Fe-Ni variety. A doctor and scientist, his daughter got a spinal cord injury. In the video, he's making great strides towards finding a cure for these things. He's very smart and does a lot of mythbusting regarding the ethics on the issue. Anyway, I'm guessing he (and his hired lab people) are fine at solving math and making deductions. But that's not where the cognitive function relates here... It relates to the motivation- which is very people oriented and very personal.06/13 10:51:03 five sounds: you!!!

Rasta business :In Rastafari, your body is considered your temple, so you need to really take good care of yourself. Part of this can be seen in the philosophy of the Ital diet. However, it goes much further than just eating good food to take care of your health. Rastafari believe that they should let their hair grow long and not taint it with anything unnatural. This all comes down to respecting your body and what it is.

Water vapour is the most important greenhouse gas and plays a fundamental role in the climate system and for the chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere. This thesis presents observations of water vapour in the middle atmosphere with a particular focus on the mesosphere. The majority of these observations presented in this thesis have been performed by the Swedish satellite Odin, providing global observations since 2001. Further observations come from the Hygrosonde-2 campaign in December 2001 based on balloon and rocket-borne measurements. A general overview of Odin's water vapour measurements in the middle atmosphere is given. The optimisation of the mesospheric water vapour retrieval is presented in detail.
The analysis of the observations has focused mainly on different dynamical aspects utilising the characteristic of water vapour as a dynamical tracer in the middle atmosphere. One application is the mesospheric part of the semi-annual oscillation (SAO). The observations reveal that this oscillation is the dominant pattern of variability between 30°S and 10°N in the mesosphere up to an altitude of 80 km. Above 90 km the SAO is dominating at all latitudes in the tropics and subtropics. It is shown that the SAO exhibits a distinct phase change between 75 km and 80 km in the tropical region.
This thesis also presents the first satellite observations of water vapour in the altitude range between 90 km and 110 km, extending the observational database up into the lower thermosphere. In the polar regions water vapour exhibits the annual maximum during winter time above 95 km, mainly caused by upwelling during this season. This behaviour is different from that observed in the subjacent part of the mesosphere where the annual maximum occurs during summer time.
The Hygrosonde-2 campaign provided a high resolution measurement of water vapour in the vicinity of the polar vortex edge. This edge prevents horizontal transport causing different water vapour characteristics inside and outside the polar vortex. The observations show that this separating behaviour extends high up into the mesosphere. Small scale transitions in the Hygrosonde-2 profile between conditions inside and outside the vortex coincided with wind shears caused by gravity waves.

Are you a climate change believer or denier?
Trick question.
The climate change debate has become so politicized from both sides that most people have a very rudimentary understanding of it, regardless of which "side" they fall on. Such a lack of public knowledge about the actual scientific aspects involved isn't all that surprising, given how complex the subject appears on its face. But without an understanding of the details we become susceptible to accepting caricatured descriptions of the scientific debate as patent truth, and that prevents us from pursuing the course of action that's best for our society and our world. If we care about being engaged national and global citizens, we have a responsibility to understand what's involved here, because the repercussions of the decisions made either way will impact us all, for our whole lives and beyond.
To set the stage properly, we first need to dispel the central myth implied by the question I posed at the beginning: To "believe" or "deny" is not scientific – it's scientific only to say what is more likely and what is less likely. When we're asking questions about the future, unknowns, and "unknown unknowns," we're dealing with inherent uncertainty, so we can speak only in probabilities. Contrast to belief or denial, skepticism is always a defensible position because it has to do with examining and interpreting evidence. With that in mind, we can properly analyze the climate debate, and each draw our own conclusions based on what the available evidence tells us (or doesn't tell us). It's best to break the debate down into more specific questions so we can get the fullest possible picture of what we're facing. Those questions are:
Observations: Is Earth's climate changing? Is global warming real?
Attribution: To what degree are humans responsible?
Risks: What could the consequences of climate change be for life on Earth?
Decisions: What should we do about it? What are the trade-offs?
1. Observations
The first thing to do is get our terms right. Strictly speaking, Earth doesn't have a "climate" unless we're comparing broad eras against each other, or broadly comparing our planet to another planet. We talk about "climate change" because of how the properties of certain regional climates around the world are changing. Next, it's important to know that Earth's temperature is always changing, and always has been. Over a timescale contextual to Earth's age – in other words, beyond that of our human perception – flux is the rule, not the exception. By measuring proxy indicators like fossilized tree rings and dissolved gasses in ice cores, scientists are able to get an approximation of the conditions that existed long ago. That data is used to chart the temperature from a given region over a long period of time, resulting in the figures below that show that temperature has varied enormously over the last hundred thousand years, let alone the last million.
Earth's temperature is determined by its "energy balance" – the amount of the Sun's energy that stays in our atmosphere to keep the planet warm, compared to how much of that energy is reflected and lost back into space. The energy balance is in turn determined by net "radiative forcing," which is a technical term that describes the impact of the different gases and other climate-affecting factors. I'll elaborate more about the factors that affect radiative forcing under the Risks section. But first, let's focus on the actual temperature trends.
As we can see from the third figure, around 12 000 years ago a dramatic warming took place as the planet emerged from the last Ice Age, due to predictable shifts in Earth's axial tilt and orbit around the Sun, known as the Milankovitch cycles. This moment marked the beginning of the Holocene Climatic Optimum that we are still in currently. It's no accident that the Holocene coincided with the agricultural revolution, which enabled human societies to gain complexity and flourish on the back of farming techniques that weren't possible in a colder climate. We can also see that the Holocene has featured its own temperature fluctuations, though they are much smaller than those witnessed over a longer timescale. However, it's important to note that the period two to three hundred years ago, known as the Little Ice Age, was significantly cooler than today.
Finally, the figure above shows that our planet's global average temperature has indeed warmed about 0.8ºC since we began actively measuring it using thermometers toward the end of the 19th century. That fact is not in dispute, even by scientists like Richard Lindzen who are skeptical of the notion that we're headed for imminent catastrophe. Those who refer to climate change as a hoax, on the other hand, are flatly wrong: Earth's climates are changing, and global warming is definitely "real" because the global average temperature is rising. We often hear that Earth is warmer now than it has been in at least two millenia, and that sounds pretty staggering. But we should take that statement with a grain of salt, and pause to consider that 2000 years is literally a blink of an eye relative to our planet's history. The graphs tell us that 0.8ºC of warming over 120 years or so isn't incredibly rare. However, if the century-long warming trend continues at its current pace over the coming decades, it would give much more weight to suspicions that we've entered a unique era that life on Earth hasn't experienced before.
Carbon Dioxide
Another key observation, seen in the first two graphs above, is that Earth's atmosphere now contains 400 parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide (CO2), a level not seen for the last 3.6 million years. Again, we need to look at this in context: the third graph above shows that our atmosphere's CO2 content has varied greatly over Earth's history, and has been much, much higher in the (deep) past. Contrary to what you've probably heard, carbon dioxide isn't a pollutant – a higher CO2 concentration encourages plant growth, leading to lush forests. In turn, the presence of all that extra O2-emitting vegetation raises the air's oxygen content. Our atmosphere is currently 21% oxygen, but 300 million years ago it was 35%, which enabled insects to become….larger.
In other words, carbon dioxide by itself isn't necessarily bad. The first problem, as we can see from the second graph, is that by burning fossil fuels we have greatly increased the atmosphere's CO2 content virtually overnight, as far as the planet is concerned. Earth may have experienced much higher CO2 levels before, but those increases always occurred so gradually that plant life had time to adapt and accommodate it into the carbon cycle. Since the first industrial revolution began roughly a century ago, combustion of fossil fuels has artificially added more than 100 ppm of CO2 to the atmosphere – at least 1 ppm per year. Our current pace is more like 2-3 ppm per year, and other things being equal, that rate is only going to increase from here as our economic activity continues to expand. It's impossible to know for sure, but it's doubtful that the carbon cycle will be able to accommodate this new CO2 fast enough to prevent it from having knock-on effects that will increase Earth's energy balance (ie. warm the planet). It's estimated that, at minimum, we're locked into another 0.6ºC of global warming thanks to the CO2 that's already been emitted.
2. Attribution
As was mentioned earlier, there's little to no dispute over whether Earth's average temperature has been rising over the last century. The question that skeptics raise, however, is how much human activity has contributed to that rise. The technical name for human culpability is Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). In fact, some believe that human impact on the planet is having such profound consequences that in the last two centuries we've moved beyond the Holocene era, and entered the Anthropocene era (the prefix anthro- meaning "human").
By comparing the graphs showing our CO2 emissions since 1880 with the temperature rise over the same period, and noting that the curves look suspiciously similar, it seems obvious that human activity plays a large role in warming the planet artificially. Not only do we artificially release CO2 by burning fossil fuels, but we also cut down forests that would otherwise remove CO2 from the air (known as "carbon sinks"), and we raise livestock that emit large amounts of methane – a greenhouse gas whose lifetime in the atmosphere is short, but that traps 30 times more heat than CO2.
But while the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) attributes most of the warming to human action, skeptics like Richard Lindzen (Professor of Meteorology at MIT until his retirement in 2013) are much more reluctant to conclude the same, arguing that according to his interpretation of the evidence, AGW accounts for maybe half of the observed warming at most (the other half being caused by natural factors). For those so inclined, you can watch Lindzen explain his views in depth here.
Skeptics have two main criticisms of the AGW hypothesis. First, they point out that there has been very little rise in the average global temperature since 1998, even though CO2 emissions have been steadily increasing the whole time. If human emissions are responsible for warming, why hasn't the warming trend also continued in a predictable fashion?
An apparent reply to this point is that Earth's thermal inertia delays the full amount of warming, and that in any case much of the "missing" warming can in fact be accounted for in the ocean. Also, it's the much longer trends spanning a century or more that we should pay the most attention to, because short term variability is inevitable. Still, only more time and study will allow us to answer these sorts of questions with greater confidence.
Skeptics' second criticism has to do with the IPCC's computer models, which are responsible for having produced the predictions of warming ranging from 2ºC to 6ºC (above the 20th century's average temperature) by the 21st century's end given various possible emission scenarios. As the figure below demonstrates, the models used to predict global warming have diverged considerably from the observed temperature so far. Skeptics ask how we can put so much faith in the models' future predictions, given that their predictions so far have been disproven by reality.
Climate Modelling
The economist William Nordhaus explains that the modelling process involves
An experiment in which (case 1) modelers put the changes in CO2 concentrations and other climate influences in a climate model and estimate the resulting temperature path, and then (case 2) modelers calculate what would happen in the counterfactual situation where the only changes were due to natural sources, for example, the sun and volcanoes, with no human-induced changes….This experiment showed that the projections of climate models are consistent with recorded temperature trends over recent decades only if human impacts are included.i
But climate modelling isn't perfect, and it relies on the assumption that if we can understand the factors that caused past climate trends, and use that data in the models, then in theory our models should be able to predict future trends fairly accurately. The IPCC acknowledges that the power offered by models is limited, and wrote in its Third Assessment Report that
In climate research and modeling, we should recognize that....the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible. The most we can expect to achieve is the prediction of the probability distribution of the system's future possible states by the generation of ensembles of model solutions.ii
Rather than being able to predict the future precisely, the models offer a range of possible outcomes. However, as the above graph shows, most of the models have so far estimated that warming was going to be greater than it's actually been over the last 22 years. Many of the models have given high warming estimates because they assume that CO2 emissions will trigger "positive feedback loops" that will magnify warming, though it's tough to say by how much. Skeptics like Lindzen argue that the models fail because they overestimate the effects of those positive feedback loops. In fact, in his opinion the models don't account enough for negative feedback loops. I'll explain more about feedback loops in the next section.
3. Risks
So we know that Earth is warming, and we know that we're rapidly adding CO2 to the atmosphere. What we don't know is the precise effects it will have on the biosphere, much less individual ecosystems. But we have some idea of the possibilities.
Cascade of Uncertainty
The picture above is known as the Cascade of Uncertainty. As the name suggests, it represents the range of possible (and not entirely known) effects that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions could have on the globe's temperature, and the further effects that that rise in temperature could have on individual geographic areas. The greatest uncertainty revolves around what's known as "climate sensitivity": we simply can't be sure how easily regional climates or local ecosystems will be altered by shifts in air and ocean temperature, or by the changing balance of gasses in the air and water. Perhaps, as climate skeptics contend, various climates will prove resilient to change: maybe human action is in fact relatively impotent, and we can't control nearly as much as we thought we could. That would mean that we haven't really got much to worry about, or at least that reducing our GHG emissions is futile, and that we should focus instead on adapting to our impending new situation.
But maybe regional climates are more delicate than we had anticipated, and human action is in the process of setting off chain reactions called "positive feedback loops" and "tipping points" – some that we might not even be aware of – that could cause enormous upheaval in the coming decades. It's the possibility of this second scenario that demands our prudence.
Feedback Loops
Probably the most well understood positive feedback loop has to do with albedo, which refers to how much light reflects off of a given surface. Dark-coloured surfaces have less albedo and absorb more energy, which is why they are darkly coloured (because less light reflects off of them back to our eye). For the same reason, light-coloured surfaces, like ice and snow, have a high albedo. This has important implications for Earth's net radiative forcing, because as ice and snow melt due to warmer temperatures, less of the Sun's energy is reflected back into space, which warms the planet further, melts even more ice, and further reduces Earth's albedo.
There are several other confirmed and suspected feedback loops, most of which are "positive" (which is bad). These include an increase in water vapour, changes to the land and ocean carbon cycle, ocean acidification, and cloud formation, all of which you can read more about here.
Another big reason that Richard Lindzen is skeptical about climate "alarmism," as he calls it, is that in his opinion most estimates of future warming don't account enough for the role played by aerosols, which are very fine particles like dust, smoke, and other pollutant byproducts of human activity (there are also natural aerosols, though). Clouds can't form without aerosols, because water vapour needs a focal point to condense upon in order to form water droplets. Clouds reflect some of the Sun's rays back into space, but also reflect back to Earth some of the light that's reflected off of Earth's surface. Because the exact net effects are still not well understood, and tougher still to model, there's debate over whether aerosols and clouds add to Earth's energy balance, or reduce it as part of a negative feedback loop.
Tipping Points and Irreversibility
There are some suspected positive feedback loops that could represent dangerous "tipping points" because of the sudden and disruptive change they could potentially cause. One of these, mentioned in the link on feedback loops, is the possibility that as arctic permafrost melts, it could release into the atmosphere an enormous amount of dissolved carbon dioxide and methane that's trapped as bubbles in the ice. Such a large dose of GHGs into the air would theoretically accelerate other feedback loops.
Another major risk is posed by disruption to thermohaline circulation. This effect, which has to do with the ocean's heat and salt content, drives ocean currents like the North Atlantic Current, which dictates weather and climate for Europe and North America's east coast. As the video in the link illustrates, it's possible that if global warming caused enough of the Greenland ice sheet to melt, it would dilute the northern Atlantic Ocean, reduce its salt concentration, and could potentially slow or stop the North Atlantic Current. Without that, the European and North American climates would be much colder.
These possible scenarios are both examples of irreversible events. Climatologists also talk about how, as mentioned earlier, even if hypothetically we stopped releasing CO2 into the atmosphere tomorrow, cold-turkey, the GHGs that have already been emitted combined with those that will be released due to feedback loops have locked us into at least another 0.6ºC of further warming. The graph below shows how once released, GHGs linger in the biosphere for hundreds of years, making their presence effectively irreversible on human timescales. If you're interested in learning more about the science involved, this lecture explains it well.
4. Decisions
The most important thing to understand when it comes to the question of "What should we do?" is that the way many people answer that question is determined at least as much by their personal ideological bent as it is by their understanding (or lack thereof) of the relevant science.
It's no surprise that in Canada, people who identify as politically conservative are more likely to oppose state action that legislates measures like carbon taxes or cap-and-trade regimes, purportedly because the measures mentioned would reduce fossil fuel production, and could limit job-creation in the private sector. While they surely care about the future of humanity's place in the natural environment, they place a higher priority on economic benefits in the here and now. People who consider themselves politically progressive, on the other hand, tend to support government action that would discourage or limit GHG emissions, because they view the possible risks posed by AGW as outweighing the immediate economic sacrifices that will have to be made.
But there's a deeper dimension to this debate as well. Progressives tend to approve of government intervention in the economy because they see such action as necessary for preserving a just society, and the possible negative externalities posed by climate change qualify as an injustice that needs to be avoided. Conservatives would generally prefer that government play a smaller role in their lives, so tend to oppose high taxation and what they see as government interference in the economy. This article isn't about ideological divides, but those divides shouldn't be overlooked because many people have political biases one way or another that can cloud their judgment, and can prevent us from pursuing the best policies based on what the balance of the scientific evidence indicates.
The Precautionary Principle
The Precautionary Principle has long been invoked regarding climate change, and operates on the logic of "better safe than sorry," especially when the stakes are high.
First, a word of caution is necessary, because the Principle has limitations. If it's misapplied, we could end up forsaking potential benefits offered by economic expansion just to avoid frightening climate scenarios that might have a very small chance of coming true. Some climate skeptics argue that abandoning the use of fossil fuels immediately would prevent people in places like China and India from reaching the same standard of living that we in the West enjoy, and that would be profoundly unfair. In his famous TED Talk, the Danish political scientist Bjorn Lomborg argues that in a world of scarcity, we should devote our money and attention to solving more pressing problems first, like hunger, poverty, and disease. Arguments like these shouldn't be dismissed.
But William Nordhaus compares the climate change predicament to a roulette wheel in a casino. Each time we spin the wheel, we resolve one of the uncertainties we face – let's use the steps shown in the Cascade of Uncertainty as a guide. Our first spin determines our accumulated level of GHG emissions a decade from now; a second spin, two decades, etc. Subsequent spins reveal the effects those emissions have on the carbon cycle, global climate sensitivity, and regional ecosystems. If the roulette ball lands on black, the outcomes across these dimensions are better than expected: we all breath a collective sigh of relief, the skeptics tell us that they told us so, and the world continues on with business as usual. If the ball lands on red, the results match or slightly exceed the IPCC's worrying predictions, and the world scrambles to mitigate or adapt to shifting climates and damaged ecosystems.
But if the ball lands on zero or double-zero, our worst fears are confirmed, and humanity is faced with a scenario that it's simply not prepared for. Tipping points are reached, ecosystems are destroyed, certain animal species go extinct, sea levels rise dramatically as the ice sheets in Greenland and West Antarctica melt, and flooding makes low-lying coastal areas like Venice and the Maldives uninhabitable. Furthermore, Nordhaus points out that costly outcomes are more likely: we remain uncertain about how climate works in several ways, and those uncertainties could interact with one another to magnify the changes that might otherwise have been smaller on their own. We also need to try and account for the possibility of "unknown unknowns," – the questions that we haven't thought to ask yet. Those are the factors that we don't know that we don't know.
Nordhaus says that climate skeptics are in effect suggesting that "the ball will always land in the black pocket," whereas "a sensible policy would pay a premium to avoid the roulette wheel in a Climate Casino."iii Most climate skeptics would probably agree that we're playing on a roulette wheel, but they would say that there are more black pockets than red ones, and that "climate alarmism" is more of a political construct than a scientific fact. Still, Richard Lindzen himself has acknowledged that if he turns out to be wrong, and humans really are the main cause of climate change, we can take action in fifty years.
As a single scientist giving an opinion, that's fine. But as a society, we need to make decisions now based both on what the balance of evidence is telling us, and on our level of uncertainty compared to the risks we face. That inherent uncertainty means that there are some things science can't help us with, and those decisions will be informed by how we answer questions of what we value: What level of risk is acceptable?
What potential benefits are we willing to forsake? Are we capable of overcoming the worst-case scenario, should it come to that? None can deal authoritatively on climate policy until they grapple with these fundamental questions.
That, of course, includes President Trump, whose decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement was not only out of step with the global consensus, but also badly offside with American public opinion.
Figure #13 Source: washingtonpost.com
Even if we in the developed Northern Hemisphere benefit from, say, a longer growing season and the economic perks of emitting GHGs with impunity, human beings elsewhere will bear the costs of our comfort. The president of the United States may not be accountable politically to those outside his jurisdiction, but he is so in a moral sense because his decisions on this matter will affect their lives.
The same can be said of President Xi Jinping, because by burning more coal than the rest of the world combined, China is the lead GHG emitter (though America and Canada each emit more than double that of China per capita). The difference is that he aims to bring the remaining 43 million Chinese who live below the country's official poverty line of 95 cents USD per day above that threshold by 2020. Half a billion — 40 percent of China's population — live on less than $5.50 per day, and it would be worse if not for China's rapid, but dirty, economic growth over the last 30 years.
These leaders have a long way to go if the world is going to meet its climate goals. Encouragingly, China recently unveiled plans for a national carbon cap-and-trade market to get emissions under control, and Europe is already light-years ahead in its renewable energy policies. Meanwhile, the Trump administration shilled for coal at the Bonn climate conference.
As a candidate for a Great Filter event in the human saga, climate change could be our existential test. I'm still trying to remain optimistic.

It was a beautiful, warm day last Saturday, September 10th when 40 Ipswitch employees headed to the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston's Seaport District to spend the day with almost 200 area children and families.
As a part of the 9/11 national day of service, we donned our Ipswitch iCare t-shirts to take part in a luncheon and day of fun organized by the Foundation To Be Named Later (FTBNL), a Red Sox affiliate, to support Room To Grow, a charity which helps infants in poverty. Other beneficiaries and invitees to the luncheon included the West End House Boys and Girls Club and Horizons for Homeless Children. Parents raising babies in poverty face many challenges including isolation and lack of resources, say organizers of the event. A special social gathering over lunch can provide meaningful social connections and much-needed respite.
The day began with setting up the arts and crafts tables, decorating the dining tables with fun baseball-inspired centerpieces, and assisting the six Boston-area restaurants who generously catered the event.
When the children and their families arrived, the fun really began! Ipswitchers mingled with the wonderful families, Theo and Paul Epstein (brothers and co-founders of FTBNL), and supporters of the charities. Balloon animals and temporary tattoos were the biggest hits, while the children also enjoyed face painting, coloring, bubbles, and decorating picture frames.
When lunch was served, it became clear that it would be a special treat for volunteers and invitees alike. Six Boston-area restaurants created some seriously delicious gourmet treats, including chicken tacos, macaroni & cheese, mini pastrami sandwiches, and sophisticated "PB&J" sandwiches with fig and blue cheese!
This was truly a special event in which Ipswitch was fortunate to participate. We each enjoyed meeting the inspirational families and children from Room to Grow, Horizons for Homeless Children, and the West End House Boys and Girls Club. A big thank you goes out to the Foundation to Be Named Later for organizing this luncheon!

From TIME Magazine. Friday, Apr. 22, 1966
World War I Ace Max Immelmann earned two, as did Corporal Adolf Hitler, and now U.S. teen-agers are buying them by the gross. Dug out of attics and curio shops and freshly minted by the thousands, the German Iron Cross has become the newest surfer's emblem and high school fad. Nobody, except parents, seems upset by the Iron Cross's connotations. "When kids ask me about the 1939 inscription," says one distributor, "I just tell them it was a big year for surfing." Those who do know don't mind. "We just don't have the feeling about this Nazi thing that our parents do," explains Los Angeles Teen-Ager Rick Higgins. In fact, what parental disapproval there is seems only to fuel the fad. Admits Palmdale's Paul O'Hara, 15: "It really upsets your parents. That's why everyone buys them." The vogue started with California's Hell's Angels, whose motorcycle brigades also like to sport Nazi swastikas (TIME, Jan. 21). Then it spread to surfers, who began exchanging their St. Christopher medals for Iron Cross pendants (now sold as his-and-her pairs, charm bracelets and even earrings). Soon landlocked emulators across the U.S. took up the fad. Explains Chicago's Walter Wagner, 17: "I'd like to be a surfer, but you can't do much on Lake Michigan. If you can't surf and you can't have a board, at least you can have something." Spread across the country by chain and variety stores, the crosses are now being made of copper, wood, enamel and silver plate, and are being sold by such quality stores as Manhattan's Bergdorf Goodman and B. Altman. Largest manufacturer is Rhode Island's Ronnie Jewelry, Inc., which is now turning out some 24,000 crosses a day, calls them "the hottest single novelty item in years." But no one takes greater pleasure, and profit, from the new craze than Los Angeles' Ed ("Big Daddy") Roth, the 275-lb. supply sergeant for Hell's Angels, who was first on the bandwagon, has sold 51,800 to date. Roth, who specializes in morbid-art decals for the hip trade (latest sample: a baby with sign reading "Born Dead"), sees the Iron Crosses as setting a whole new trend, and he has already followed up with an even newer vogue: plastic copies of the Wehrmacht iron helmet. Says he: "They really reach into a kid's deepest emotions." Beyond that he sees a big potential market for SS emblems and Nazi swastikas. "You know," he says expansively, "that Hitler did a helluva public relations job for me."

I had to do it. How often do you get to insert a Spaceballs reference? This is Yogurt the Great if anyone hasn't seen the movie.
The montage that follows is the outcome of the spoon test:
Rian thought it was about time the Critters eat their yogurt themselves. They obviously had use of their paws and could easily hold a yogurt container. The Critters have also been developing an affinity for utensils. They have come to love the fork, notice I didn't say they have become skilled at using said fork. They are competent when it comes to using a fork but I will not get carried away and say that they have mastered it.
So before they have mastered one utensil we (Rian) thought it would be fun to throw another one in the mix. Before you think that I am throwing Rian under the bus, I think that they are old enough to use multiple utensils. Hey they need to start exercising that intelligence if they want to go to college.

Clovis, 2-1 on the season, helping community heal
J.P. Murrieta
September 11, 2017 06:32 PM
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- The Clovis football program continues to be a welcome diversion to the people of that town healing following the tragic shooting in a public library earlier this month.
The Wildcats are 2-1 on the season. First-year head coach Cal Fullerton said their season is a way for everyone to remain Clovis strong.
"Our kids are in a place where they can put the community on their backs," Clovis coach Cal Fullerton said. "We've talked about that all last week and all this week. This has to be special, and you don't want to look ahead season wise, but week to week this needs to be special for our community and something our community can come out and take pride in."

New Jersey Day Trips
Frequent readers of the PillsPress know we enjoy taking day trips, and writing about our experiences. This book: "New Jersey Day Trips," by Patrick Sarver will help me discover more hidden treasures in my home state.
I first saw this book at Aunt Barbara's house. She used it to find places for Ashley and I to visit with her last August. As I leafed through the book I found places we have visited, places that have been recommended to us, and new places to find and explore.
I like that the book also includes destinations just over the borders of New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
In 2012 I look forward to using this book to find new destinations.

Thread the needle with a strand of wool attached to the ball being used; pass the needle through canvas from the under side drawing up a workable length of wool. Now pass the hook downwards through the next hole and draw up loop of wool; carry loop on hook and proceed in the same manner to the following holes until there are 8 to 10 loops on the hook. Draw the needle through the loops, and the thread which is carried in the eye will lock them on the top side of the canvas. Proceed as before, and when the first strand of locking wool is used up, cut a length from another ball of the same colour and stitch to the end of the used locking wool, thus avoiding knots in the work.

Opinions - Mine and Yours (please)
Soooooo there are these new square needles that are supposed to be better for your hands & wrists to knit with. Cool. My wrist(s) were bugging me from an improper workstation setup which had it's effect even if I have fixed it now. So I thought I should try at least one pair of these. I'd heard from some of you about the circs and the bad joins so I stayed away from those but it just so happened that my LYS (Shuttles, Spindles & Skeins) had one (and ONLY one) set in Palm. Sold.
I decided to cast on something new in part because of the size of the needles and there was that nagging pain thing. (Still is, in fact, but it is improving) I still want to try these in a smaller, metal version but so far I've actually been enjoying these and able to use them for short periods even when others have not been an option. I'm cautiously in favor but want to sharpen the points and see how it goes for a bit longer.
What did I cast on? A project that's been on my mind to do in large part because I have wanted to see if the yarn will work for it. I probably won't be in any hurry to finish this but right off I have to decide if it DOES work. Your opinions? Is the yarn too varigated? Can you see the pattern?
The shawl is Nancy Bush's Lily of the Valley pattern. I'm using the Palm (wood) size 6 (4mm) 11" Kollage straight needles. Since it's the size called for, that automatically means my gauge (as a relaxed knitter) is larger (fine by me, I wanted that) and I am modifying the pattern for the edging at a minimum although precisely how is not entirely decided.....and not really relevant if the yarn won't work, right?
So......a couple of less than stellar and unblocked photos. Because if you love it, even in these shots, it's a pretty sure winner, right? Errrm .....well......something like that :-)
What do you think?

Well heck. Given those criteria, I'd rather the store didn't send me the yarn at all. Just deposit $1 million into my Swiss Account and I will write a fantastic review for you! Just kidding!

I love the way it is looking, by the way. About those squares...I have a set of small sock needles on the way to me and I suspect I will be very happy with them. I also might have more to add on the square circular front soon:)

Got my Goldings. Hate them. Bottom heavy, weighty, and wobbly. And I told him black wood only, so I got cherry and walnut. Go figure. I can sell them or use them for plying I guess. Back to Bosworth.

Public Enemy #1
The woman who built financial 'weapon of mass destruction'
* David Teather
* The Guardian, Saturday 20 September 2008
This article was amended on Monday September 29 2008
In the article below we said that Blythe Masters of JP Morgan developed the credit derivatives which were at the heart of the current financial crisis. We apologise for unfairly failing to give her an adequate opportunity to respond and for making inaccurate personal references about her. The guide to which we referred was a general guide to credit derivatives and not just about those she created; she was 34, rather than 35, when she became chief financial officer of JP Morgan; and she was not working in hospital before having her baby, but viewing financial data to pass the time.
If Warren Buffett is to be believed in his verdict that derivatives are "financial weapons of mass destruction" then Blythe Masters is one of the destroyers of worlds.
British-born Masters is one of the most powerful women on Wall Street and is widely recognised as one of an elite group dubbed the "JP Morgan mafia" that fostered the creation of the complex credit derivatives at the heart of the current crisis ripping through Wall Street. Many of the highly qualified mathematicians and academics who worked on the credit derivatives market in the early days have gone on to run hedge funds and into high-powered jobs at other investment banks, but most of them started out at JP Morgan.
Masters sees things slightly differently. In a brief email exchange with the Guardian, she said: "I do believe CDSs [credit default swaps] have been miscast, much as poor workmen tend to blame their tools."
In 1997, she and a team developed many of the credit derivatives that were intended to remove risk from companies' balance sheets. The idea was to separate the default risk on loans from the loans themselves.
The risk would be moved into an off-balance sheet vehicle. The product was called Bistro, otherwise known as broad index secured trust offering.
In a guide to understanding the instruments she had created, Masters sung their praises: "In bypassing barriers between different classes, maturities, rating categories, debt seniority levels and so on, credit derivatives are creating enormous opportunities to exploit and profit from associated discontinuities in the pricing of credit risk."
Masters was raised in south-east England, where she attended the exclusive King's public school in Canterbury on a scholarship. She got a economics degree from Cambridge, and from the beginning had been attracted to the esoteric world of derivatives. In her spare time, she is a keen horsewoman.
She joined the JP Morgan commodities desk and worked her way up the organisation. At the age of 35 she was appointed chief financial officer of the investment bank, but for the past two years has been head of currencies and commodities. Her focus on the job reached almost comic levels when she famously took her wireless device into the hospital to get quotes on commodity derivatives as she was having a baby.
The banks argued that by trading credit derivatives of the kind pioneered by Masters, they had spread their risk elsewhere and therefore needed lower reserves to protect against loan defaults. Regulators rolled over and the banks loaned ever more. It was a huge success and the market for credit derivatives grew rapidly.
But the instruments might not have much longer. One of the fall-outs from the current crisis is the call that banks should carry their own risk.

Under The Jasmin Influence
Then Helen, Zeus' daughter, thought of something else.
She quickly dropped into the wine they were enjoying
"NEPENTHES" which eased men's pains and irritations,
making them forget their troubles. A drink of this (NEPENTHES),
once mixed in with wine, would guarantee no man
would let a tear fall on his cheek for one whole day,
not even if his mother and his father died,
or if, in his own presence, men armed with swords
hacked down his brother or his son, as he looked on.

text: Hi BHW, I've been doing shopify dropship + fb ads after stumbling upon this site and falling hard. I've got a fb campaign up (one of a few), and this one is getting me good clicks and traffic to my store. However, zero sales, zero checkouts, and a handful of add to carts. Here are some details for those interested: Check out ad #3, with an avg.CPC of 0.00 The vast majority of my site traffic is being driven from that 3rd ad. Here's a gist of my audience size and locale: lots of Vietnam, Egypt, Brazil, and some US. Vietnam and Egypt have the highest affinity for the niche. Ad is set to conversions, pixel is set to 'view content', so its optimizing for that (since i have no substantial data for 'add to cart') Any ideas why they won't buy? Ad is driving traffic.The price is under $30. My website looks clean and professional. The only thing I can think of is the ad mentions free shipping, but doesn't say the item is free or even hint at it. My store is in CDN dollars, maybe that throws people? So if I make the item free, and make shipping expensive, that should test whether or not its the price. Because then I should see more 'add to carts' and checkouts, regardless of purchases or not. Right? Thanks Lounge.

And they say that nobody ever hires criminals!
The city of Detroit is known for being rough, and the current leadership position is only confirming it. Half of the people currently running for mayor (4 out of 8) have criminal records. Some of the offenses date back to the 70s, but the most recent happened in 2008.
The Detroit News reports: Political consultant Greg Bowens said there are candidates with past hardships in every election cycle. It's not something unique to Detroit or the political arena in general, he said.
"Black marks on your record show you have lived a little and have overcome some challenges," said Bowens, a former press secretary to Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer and NAACP activist. "They (candidates) deserve the opportunity to be heard, but they also deserve to have the kind of scrutiny that comes along with trying to get an important elected position."
Tuesday's Detroit mayoral primary election is the first since the city exited bankruptcy in 2014. The field of eight will be narrowed to two who will face off in the fall.
The candidates with criminal records are:
Donna Marie Pitts, convicted in 1977 of receiving and concealing a stolen 1977 Oldsmobile, and in 1987 for two counts of assault with a deadly weapon;
Danetta L. Simpson, convicted in 1996 for assault with intent to murder;
Articia Bomer, convicted in 2008 for carrying a concealed weapon; and
Curtis Christopher Greene, convicted in 2004 for fleeing and eluding police during an attempted traffic stop, as well as growing and delivering marijuana.
If you ask me, almost anybody with political aspirations should have their character thoroughly scrutinized. Also, if you ask me, maybe it's time we let some people with less-than-clean records into office! At least all their skeletons (figurative and literal) are already out of the closet! They're guaranteed to be immune to blackmail.

Everything about Invest In Oil
Buying Oil
Person stocks can be obtained for traders, but You may additionally acquire Electrical power ETFs that have a broader number of stocks from
the business enterprise. By picking businesses which will financial gain via decisions and from climbing oil expenditures, it is possible to raise your option of
investing successfully. Purchasing oil ETFsExchange-traded money enable it to be much simpler for traders to speculate in sure spots,
and there are crude oil ETFs which offer exposure to the cost of this commodity. It is important to understand how these ETFs
operate, mainly because in certain conditions, how you could hope won't be executed by them and might As a result be unsatisfactory
over the long term.
The most effective way for the majority of traders to take a position in crude oil is thru the companies that check out for, create,
transport, refine, and offer crude. A number of All those providers, including exploration and generation businesses, usually increase in benefit
when primitive climbs when primitive drops, and fall in value. Other regions of the market have correlations with crude rates. As
an case in point, the refinery field relies on crude oil being an enter sign for developing fuel, diesel fuel, together with other merchandise. Then
buyers can count on refinery shares to fall, because their income go down, if oil expenditures increase without having a corresponding get while in the
cost of energy products.
Paying for crude oil has lots of gain potential, however you should focus on the ways of investing
that function best. Most buyers are snug acquiring stocks which will take advantage of petroleum moves as opposed to shopping for crude
right by them selves. What it will likely not do is track alterations in crude, Even though the finance does a superb position of carrying out that
purpose. When one expires For the reason that ETF doesn't wish to get Bodily possession of crude oil, it rolls ahead futures. The difficulty
with this system is the fact that futures contracts for that thirty day period are typically more economical than contracts for months. The end result is always that
smaller losses are often taken with the fund because of the rollover process, and after some time, these losses incorporate up to become big
declines if oil costs are better or flat. Owning stocks of organizations from the crude oil marketplace
Don't Monopolize the Dialogue. We take pleasure in passion and conviction, but we also consider strongly in providing Anyone a chance to air their ideas. Consequently, In combination with civil conversation, we expect commenters to offer their viewpoints succinctly and thoughtfully, although not so repeatedly that Some others are irritated or offended.
The issue about contrarian investing is you occasionally should Wait and see. The group generally isn't confirmed Mistaken the week When you purchase a inventory.
Risky. All futures are unstable investments and oil isn't any exception. No you can forecast with any degree of certainty what the cost of oil is going to be tomorrow, next 7 days, or upcoming month. Also, modifications in the value of a future have a tendency to change Alpha Seven Energy substantially a lot more than shares.
United States twelve Thirty day period Oil Fund (USL): This fund tracks WTI which has a twist; it aims to mirror the alterations in percentage phrases of the price of gentle, sweet crude oil, as measured by the adjustments in the normal of the costs of twelve-thirty day period futures contracts on crude oil. The for a longer time-dated publicity might enable distribute out hazards even though alleviating some contango troubles.
Expiration day. All derivatives expire on a specific day. Should you are unsuccessful to exercising them previous to that day, they turn into worthless. They also shed lots of their benefit when you tactic the settlement date, so in the event you don't plan to work out the long run it truly is a smart idea to trade them in the earliest chance. Some investors want to carry on to their futures and offer them at an increased value down the road, just like they would with shares.
Sensitivity to many difficulties. The price of oil is intensely influenced by many variables apart from provide and desire. For instance, it is frequently influenced here via the agendas of present and aspiring politicians, wars, all-natural disasters, and major information tales.
The Upstream part is accountable for the exploration, growth, and creation of crude, together with transportation via pipelines, when the Downstream part is liable for refining crude and marketing and advertising crude oil.
Royal Dutch Shell Plc. (RDS-A): RDS is a totally integrated oil and gasoline company and is without doubt one of the 6 massive oil and gasoline players. The vertically built-in organization operates in all facets of crude oil.
Oil rates are still approximately fifty% off their peak, and It is sparking the curiosity of benefit investors. Right here's the way to invest income in oil, not just for the rebound, but for the long term.
Sudden supplies. Although the entire world's supply of oil is limited, new sources are still uncovered. More recent strategies like offshore drilling have also greater the availability of oil.
Recall, we're only talking about one million to 2 million barrel per day surplus more than demand from customers. After that happens, selling prices will do A fast U-change. I do think it's going to occur in the next six months or a lot less."
So you may have publicity to the cost of oil, however more on this website you don't have an real oil rig gushing inside your again garden.
Crises occur - In 1978 there was an oil glut. Then a revolution occurred in Iran and the price of oil doubled. Given that the Middle East isn't specifically a model of steadiness and Vladimir Putin is probably going to roll more tanks across the borders of previous Soviet republics, You will find there's respectable possibility some disaster will come about that pushes oil increased.
Wall Street analysts task our first stock could see income skyrocket 35% this yr. They are also expecting its share price to jump double digits as oil selling prices rebound.
