Apparently today 40 environmental groups are going to protest at a power plant near the Capitol - protesting the inability of the plant to be made carbon neutral. It is an old plant whose efficiency has been worked over and its emissions decreased as much as technology allows., but Congress has quit trying to do more. And they have even given up buying carbon offsets to pretend in making it carbon neutral.

Congress needs to realize that CO2 is good for us and not a pollutant. We lack the technology to trap and store all of this gas anyhow. It is tilting at windmills to try to expensively trap a gas which is not a problem.

It is time to bite the bullet and learn the real science which clearly shows that CO2 is not a problem and that a lack of CO2 is a much more serious threat. Below 200 ppm many plants cannot grow.

Dr Hansen of NASA is in the protest. He is the leader of the idiotic push to cripple the world for no reason. He is so deep into this scam that he cannot afford to extricate himself.

Apparently mass civil disobedience is also said to be acceptable to these protestors" and:
"The action is timed to coincide with the final day of PowerShift09, a four-day "National Youth Summit" that is bringing some 12,000 students to Washington to lobby for action on climate change. Organizers have said the young people from over a dozen countries "will acquire the tools to build the movement larger," "

Be afraid, very afraid. This is the beginning of the March of the Deluded. The scam is on and growing!Charles Higleyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946311521764584004.post-89941936273266035322009-02-23T17:30:00.000-08:002009-02-23T21:16:04.423-08:00Antarctica NOT WarmingThe unbelievable news of the day is:

"Ministers get close look at Antarctic ice threat

  By CHARLES J. HANLEY, AP Special Correspondent Charles J. Hanley, Ap Special Correspondent  – Mon Feb 23, 11:45 am ET

     AP – A Nov. 9, 2007 file photo shows melting icebergs in Antarctica. Environment ministers and other representatives …

TROLL RESEARCH STATION, Antarctica – A parka-clad band of environment ministers landed in this remote corner of the icy continent on Monday, in the final days of an intense season of climate research, to learn more about how a melting Antarctica may endanger the planet."

When the Antarctic has been breaking records for winter ice extent, these idiots want to pretend that it is melting. Only the Western peninsula which extends out into the Southern Ocean shows any melting.

A recent, very flawed paper, which erroneously extrapolated a warming Eastern Antarctica from adulterated data, has been soundly debunked and the satellite data which has consistently and clearly shown the main mass of the continent to be cooling is still considered accurate. With the ice extent breaking records, it correlates well with the satellite data.

These politicians would deny the Sun lit the day if their goal was to put in 24 hour street lights for their own reasons. Their agenda is to use manmade global warming to control human activities and their means is blatant propaganda in the form of lies and denial of the real facts of our climate. They like to call us denialists, but what are they when they claim warming, sea level rise, melting, and ecological changes which are not happening?

This news article is a true joke. They pretend that we know little about the Antractic and that what we do not know has to be bad.

We know that the Antarctic has been breaking records for winter ice. And, guess what? When you have lots of sea ice, there is lots to melt the next summer!

We know that the major ice mass is gaining, as is that of Greenland. Melting around the edges there is more than offset by the mass it gains in the interior, as in the Antarctic.

"The answers are so elusive that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a Nobel Prize- winning U.N. scientific network, excluded the potential threat from the polar ice sheets from calculations in its authoritative 2007 assessment of global warming."

They had to leave it out, what? Because it is so unknowable? Or, if it was included, it would have to be a negative in terms of sea level change? Hmm.

The IPCC scientific network is a political joke network of scientists who have an agenda to form a one-world government while maintaining their revenue stream for their research. Their research funding depends on finding ways to show global warming and to implicate human activities. They have no other reason to be.

"The IPCC forecast that oceans may rise up to 23 inches (0.59 meters) this century, from heat expansion and melting land ice, if the world does little to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases blamed for atmospheric warming. "

Sea level really has not changed in 30 years except in anecdotal spurious sites or those bad sites chosen by the IPCC to support their opinions - yes, bad sites that are known to be inaccurate for sea level measurement. The oceans are currently cooling and ice masses growing - the IPCC produces all of the desired sea level rise by chosing bad data or claiming predictions from faulty models.

"And yet the West Antarctic ice sheet, some of whose outlet glaciers are pouring ice at a faster
rate into the sea, "could be the most dangerous tipping point this century," says a leading U.S. climatologist, NASA's James Hansen.sponsored links "

Wow, flowing glaciers are healthy glaciers. Sick, melting glaciers are receding, not flowing. Regardless, it is not a problem when the main mass is actually growing. Dr. Hansen, once again, is misleading the public, as is his habit and his political agenda. He claims rampant warming while the real world is actively cooling. He has to do so or he will have to admit in being wrong for the last 10 years.

""We are out of out cotton-pickin' minds if we let that process get started," Hansen said of an Antarctic meltdown. "Because there will be no stopping it."

What incredible arrogance by Dr. Hansen. He really thinks that we can control the climate? He is not in contact with the real world.

The concept of "tipping points" is fascinating as they are completely hypothetical and based on pure speculation. They are the "boogeyman" of global warming. Since our climate has been much warmer in the past, even the recent past, and CO2 has been much higher several times in the last 200 years, where are these tipping points? They are indeed imaginary and invoked to alarm the public.

It is so much fun to see what foolishness they will come up with tomorrow. Pretending to go to the Antarctic with the supposed goal to assess its future dangers, when it is the hallmark of the cooling of the planet and is behaving exactly the opposite of what they claim, is to implicate the Antarctic by feigned concern. This can only be interpreted as a sham for the benefit of the general public.

It is hard to believe sometimes how opposite sources can be. Here I have two articles which are exact opposites. But, which one appears to have more substance?

The Cool:
 I found an article by Don Easterborrk called "Global Cooling is Here: Evidence for Predicting Global Cooling for the Next Three Decades."

This article is packed with science and data and references. It describes the role of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and its correlation with the Glacial Decadal Oscillation (GDO), Dr Easterbrook's area of extertise. There is strong evidence here for 30 years of cooling up to the middle to late 2030's.

He does miss something crucial here:
He refers several times to past temperature fluctuations that have occurred before CO2 began to rise. He misses the fact that CO2 has been going up and down over time as often as the temperature, as the oceans warm and outgas CO2 and cool and take up CO2. CO2 was high (aboove 440 ppm and hitting 550 ppm occasionally) several times in the last 200 years. It was over 440 ppm as recently as the 1940's. It is nowhere close to that even now. C0rrections regarding interpretation of ice core data also indicate that CO2 was as high or higher than now during most of the ice ages. It is easy to assume it was low, but that does not appear to be the case. (See Beck's 180 Years of CO2 Data and work by Jaworowski, it's fascinating.)

I believe that Dr Easterbrook should stop saying that climate changes happened before CO2 began to rise. Instead, he should be emphasizing that CO2 and temperature are not a cause and effect pair, respectively, and that, if there is a relationship, it is that temperature changes and CO2 follows, just as CO2 peaked (in the mid-1940's) about 7 years after temperature peaked in the late 1930's and CO2 plunged after the temperature dropped in the 1950's. This is just a real application of Henry's Law for dissolved gases.

The Hot:
In contrast, I found a recent declaration by Dr Chris Field, a co-chair of the IPCC ("AAAS_ Tropical forests are drying out because of global warming."

Instead of mentioning anything about current global cooling, Fields apparently has been hiding indoors and playing with the computer models. He is claiming that the predicted warming could be as much as 6.4 deg C by 2100 and that the rainforests are going to dry up and catch fire. He blames China and India for greenhouse emissions and says something should be done now.

Actually, the way this news article was written, it sounds as if these forests are drying out now. This appears to be entirely unsubstantiated and is just more alarmist journalism, designed to make people submit to taxes and restrictions that they would normally reject or oppose.

The Ugly:
How far apart are these two articles?

One addresses the real world and the related science and is rather conservative in its conclusions, while the other relies solely on computer models which cannot even predict or simulate the recent past and makes wild claims that cannot be confirmed.

None of the models can predict the last 10 years of global cooling, let alone the climate years into the future. One model has been given a small temporary adjustment to create a temporary cooling, but it was done to create the semblance of accuracy rather than an honest functional output by the model.

As long as the models are a Swiss cheese of missing pieces and misvalued input (overblown CO2 emissions, altered thermodynamic constants, low resolution, cloud cover inadequacies, and complete misuse of water vapor), they cannot be trusted to provide any useful output.

These computer models are designed to tip, as they do not include the factors that make our climate as stable as it is. With usch a bias and their many imperfections (major flaws), they certainly should not be used to form or decide on any public or governmental policy.

I must give Dr Field credit for imagining a new and novel fantasy for something which is not happening. His alarmist blinders keep him from thinking spurious thoughts, such as warming causing more evaporation and more rainfall, or that forests with much less rainfall all over the world simply do not burst into flame oor burn uncontrollably. He seems to make the unfounded assumption that warming would radically change rainfall patterns - he would have to assume so to support this scenario/fantasy. Maybe he can make the equatorial zone go away all together . . . hmmm.

Next, I need to address the temperature of the planet, its past performance, and major real factors which make it what it is.

Charles Higleyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946311521764584004.post-71733230905018808022009-02-07T19:14:00.000-08:002009-03-11T10:16:35.353-07:00CO2 and the IPCC - What's the evidence?CO2 and the IPCC - What's the evidence?

There are two ways to address the issue of Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW): describing the IPCC's rationale or proof of its case, or describing the real conditions, principles, and science of the Earth and its climate and how it disagrees with AGW.

 So, initially I will address the IPCC's basis for the idea that man-made CO2 is warming the planet. There is no empirical order in which they need to be presented as they add up to their argument of AGW, but I will try to put it in a logical order regarding their needs to support AGW.

 First, the IPCC makes the unsupported and unfounded assumption that CO2 in the atmosphere determines our climate. They say that, until man-made CO2 began to accumulate, the climate was ruled by natural factors and even solar influences. But, they also assume that the introduction of man made CO2 with the industrial revolution has swamped all natural factors and CO2 now drives the climate.

 The concept, or more accurately musing, that CO2 in the atmosphere could warm the planet goes back almost 180 years. Gerlich & Tscheuschner summarize the situation nicely:

"The atmospheric greenhouse effect, an idea that authors trace back to the traditional works of Fourier 1824, Tyndall 1861, and Arrhenius 1896, and which is still supported in global climatology, essentially describes a fictitious mechanism, in which a planetary atmosphere acts as a heat pump driven by an environment that is radiatively interacting with but radiatively equilibrated to the atmospheric system. According to the second law of thermodynamics such a planetary machine can never exist. Nevertheless, in almost all texts of global climatology and in a widespread secondary literature it is taken for granted that such mechanism is real and stands on a firm scientific foundation."

. . . and . . .

"Although the arguments of Arrhenius were falsified by his contemporaries they were picked up by Callendar (1938) and Keeling (1960), the founders of the modern greenhouse hypothesis.(. .) Interestingly, this hypothesis has been vague ever since it has been used."
 - G Gerlich and RD Tscheuschner, Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics, Ver. 3.0, 11 Sept 2007. (In the latter quote, the reference numbers of Callendar and Keeling were replaced with the year of the first publication by each.)

 This concept has never been confirmed as it is fundamentally flawed. It is true that atmospheric water vapor (at 2.7%, 27,000 ppm) and CO2 (currently at 0.000380%, 380 ppm) keep our planet warmer than it would be without them. However, the first 20 ppm of CO2 had the lion's share of its effect long ago and higher levels yield diminishing returns, such that roughly 90-95% of its ability to warm has already been realized. Furthermore, water vapor has a much broader absorption spectrum than CO2 and overlaps a significant portion of CO2's absorption spectrum, such that CO2's effect is compromised. Water vapor, averaging 70 times the concentration of CO2 and with a broader absorption spectrum, definitely dominates the atmosphere.

 Despite the unfounded nature of this concept, it is an important part of the IPCC's case as, if it is simply assumed to be true, then they can focus on CO2 and its origins to explain global warming. As you hopefully will understand below, none of their stipulations or assumptions have any real scientific merit.

 Second, the IPCC needed to show that CO2 was historically low and is now high and increasing in an abnormal way. There are two types of data regarding historical CO2 levels: direct chemical measurements and indirect measurements.

 There are thousands of direct chemical measurements of atmospheric CO2 from publications going back to 1810 (180 Years of atmospheric CO2 Gas Analysis by Chemical Methods by Ernst-Georg Beck), long before the start of CO2 monitoring at Mauna Loa in 1950. Most of these used valid and reproducible methods. Only a couple of studies used a recognizably inferior sulfuric acid extraction technique which typically yields under-measurements of CO2 concentrations.

 Now, it must be mentioned here that the IPCC case needs to show that CO2 has been historically low and steady until the Industrial Revolution. However, direct chemical measurements showed that atmospheric CO2 levels had varied quite widely over time (from 252 to over 550 ppm), going back to 1810, long before man made CO2 could be an influence.

 This obviously did not suit the IPCC's needs. So, with the unfounded assumption based on their opinion or feeling that CO2 was around 280 ppm in the 1800's, they discounted as too variable almost all of the direct measurement publications, some done by Nobel laureates, and lauded as wonderfully accurate two French papers, which used the deficient sulfuric acid method mentioned above, for their valid (low) results.

 But, how did the IPCC arrive at or support their low CO2 in the past? They found support in a graph by Callendar (shown below) in which CO2 values from 1810-1955 were shown and a selection of low values were taken from 1865-1938 and averaged to create a value of 292 ppm for historical CO2 levels. This is cherry-picking of the data and yields a patently invalid result. The real average for this time period is 335 ppm, 43 ppm or 15% higher.

 But, the IPCC needed to support Callendar's spurious, artificial average or it would be instantly shot down. So, they turned to ice core data with the stipulation or excuse that they had to since direct chemical data was too variable (it did not fit their opinion of what CO2 levels should be; they could not have it going up and down over time at the reported levels). Thus, the basically ordained that indirect data was much more reliable.

 They adopted Antarctic ice core data which is composed of fairly low CO2 results (185-300 ppm) and goes back 400 thousand years. It fit their need nicely for there to have been consistently low CO2 in the past. In passing, it should be noted that these CO2 data were often below 200 ppm during actual ice ages. Plants are in serious distress at such concentrations. They thrive in higher concentrations - it is plant food. (Greenhouse growers often use 1000 ppm to enhance plant growth. Humans become uncomfortable at levels above 2000 ppm.)

 Unfortunately, ice core data is useless for recent times as it takes nearly a hundred years for ice to consolidate and trap air bubbles in its structure. Thus, ice core data ends about 1890, leaving a 60 year gap between the ice core data and the beginning of the Mauna Loa data in 1950 (graph shown below). In addition, the 1890 ice core data showed CO2 levels at about 330 ppm, equal to Mauna Loa data in 1960, part of the "frightening" rise in CO2 that is ongoing today.

 The IPCC had a problem. How do you join these two data sets and how do you disappear the 1880 high CO2 levels? Their cure was to adjust the ice core data by moving it 83 years into the future until it overlapped the Mauna Loa data (graph shown below). Viola, problem solved. They simply did some creative editing and it was gone!

 Not only is this mixing of data sets from entirely different origins, indeed opposite ends of the world, and methods completely invalid, but moving the timeline of the ice core data is fraudulent and scientifically dishonest. But it served the purposes of the IPCC to a "T".
I have already indicated that direct chemical CO2 data shows that CO2 has fluctuated quite a lot over the last 180 years. Beck has put this huge body of data together (180 Years of atmospheric CO2 Gas Analysis by Chemical Methods by Ernst-Georg Beck) (graph shown below).

 This shows very nicely why the IPCC just had to make this direct chemical data go away by discounting it as too variable. Obviously man did not cause these variations.

 In contradiction to the IPCC's adoption of raw ice core data as blindingly accurate measurements of past CO2 levels, Jaworowski, an expert in ice core analysis, published detailed descriptions of problems with ice core data. He has described the factors that dictate that, at depth and high pressure, the original bubbles have collapsed to form solid ice containing water complexed gas molecules ("clathrates"). During the drilling for retrieving ice cores, the pressure change allows the ice to expand and undergo dense cracking and "sheeting", generate new bubbles, and suffer significant gas loss to the driller tube and the atmosphere. In addition, even at -78 deg C ice contains uncrystallized water which allows CO2 to dissolve out of the newly formed bubbles, further increasing CO2 losses. He concluded that ice core concentration measurements of CO2 are 30-50% low and that ice core data may be good for observing trends but should not be used for determining absolute CO2 values.

 If one takes the values observed in the ice core data and Jaworowski's estimates of error, the adjusted values are as high or higher than the CO2 values we have today, even during the actual ice age periods. These adjusted values also match the range of CO2 levels reported by Beck from the direct chemical measurements. This completely negates the utility of ice core data for the IPCC's claim that CO2 has been low for many thousands of years and is unusually high today. (Climate Change: Incorrect information on pre-industrial CO2 by Zbigniew Jaworowski)

 Very telling from Jaworowski's work is his observation that the Siple ice core data, used in the graphs shown above to show pre-industrial CO2 levels, do not show previous atmospheric CO2 levels at all, but more precisely "show a clear inverse correlation between the decreasing CO2 concentrations, and the load-pressure increasing with depth." That is to say, that the deeper you go, the greater the CO2 losses.

 Recently, a treatment of ice core data by JJ Drake presented a simple correction process which takes into account that the above problems described by Jaworowski would be directly related to the age (or depth and pressure) of an ice core sample. The greater the age, the greater the losses due to the decompression damage. His correction produces corrected CO2 values completely in accordance with Jaworowski's conclusion - values no different from today or higher. The resulting graph still shows the ice ages and interglacial periods, but shows higher values also in line with Beck's range. (A Simple Method to Correct Carbon Dioxide Concentrations in Ice Core Data for Ice / Gas Age Difference Perturbations, 17 May 2008)

 These corrected values are also in line with the great probability that the biosphere in the warmer latitudes was probably thriving during the ice ages, as well as the interglacial periods (see graph below; remember that plants do not do well at CO2 levels less than 200 ppm). Our tropical biodiversity contradicts the CO2 stressed values indicated by the raw ice core data.

 To return to more modern times, Beck's data show that CO2 was above 440 ppm in the 1940's, significantly higher than today's 380 ppm. At the current CO2 rate of increase, we would not reach this level until about 2060, or later as recently the rate has been slowing. I completely fail to see that there is anything unusual about the atmospheric CO2 levels we have today or might have in the next 50 years.

 Another problem the IPCC had was to establish manmade CO2 is responsible for the recent rise in CO2. In other words, they contend that CO2 from the warming of the oceans is not the problem. They want to maintain that manmade CO2 comprises most of the CO2 which has been added to the atmosphere in the last half century. I will pretend to believe the Siple/Mauna Loa Curve and explain their position.

 They discount that the oceans can absorb much CO2 despite the huge solubility of CO2 in such a relatively alkaline solution. This means that, as CO2 dissolves, it the forms carbonic acid (H2CO2) which goes to bicarbonate (HCO3-) and then even to carbonate (CO3-2), further enhancing absorption of more CO2. Anyhow, their major ploy, without going into their complicated model of CO2 flow through the various natural systems, is that CO2 has a 200 year half-life in the atmosphere. With this unfounded assumption - entirely unproven - they could now claim that manmade CO2 from even as far back as the 1800's has been accumulating in the atmosphere. Otherwise - are you ready? - we have not emitted enough CO2 to explain the actual rise in the atmosphere. They effectively discount the oceans as having a role in outgassing or absorbing CO2 as they change in temperature. Talk about spreading the blame. Remember the goal here: it has to be all our fault.

 Unfortunately, making up numbers out of thin air rarely yields valid results. Actual analyses using isotopic distributions have shown the half-life to be 5-6 years (5.4 years, T. V. Segalstad), a much shorter time indicating a rather dynamic turnover rate and a very active exchange rate with the oceans and plants.

 The oceans are a major CO2 sink; they contain much more CO2 than the atmosphere (35,000 versus 700 gigatons). When the oceans warm, they outgas CO2 according to Henry's Law, the way a soda pop gives off CO2 as it warms. When the oceans cool, they soak up CO2, and with such a short half-life, that means it is a rather rapid process, on the order of years to decades. This huge sink and its rapid exchange does not materially bother the IPCC's position; they give it a minor role, as they do all natural factors.

 In fact, that is another of their unfounded assumptions. They assume that CO2 in the atmosphere and, more specifically, manmade CO2 added in the last 50-200 years has now overwhelmed all natural climate processes and drives the climate.

 So, that's the CO2 picture of the IPCC and CO2. I find no credible evidence that the CO2 levels we have now or might have in the future to be at all unusual. Furthermore, with the oceans' ability to absorb CO2, a good argument could be made that there is not enough fossil fuel on Earth to double the CO2 in the atmosphere. As the oceans appear to be cooling, CO2 stands a good chance to decrease in the not too distant future.

 It should not go unsaid that it is ingenuous to pretend that we will keep emitting CO2 at current rates for many decades to come, let alone until 2100. We do not do things like that; we are forever changing our technology and it uses. Conserving our carbon resources in the future will be important for making pharmaceuticals and plastics and, more immediately, for not sending a large proportion of our money overseas to foreign oil producers. The recent spike in the price of crude oil created the largest mass transfer of wealth in the history of the world. We do not want that to happen again.

 The remainder of the IPCC's world view is filled out by their climate model fixation, their almost religious belief in the ability of these inadequate programs to predict the future, and insisting that the predictions are coming true regardless of the real facts. Their predictions have to come true or they have to admit either a colossal waste of time and money, a monumental scam, or unbelievable stupidity and gullibility.

The issue of global warming and, in particular, anthropogenic (manmade) global warming (AGW), the link between temperature and CO2 levels, and the issue of solar influence on climate will be discussed in later postings.Charles Higleyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946311521764584004.post-30682296074823209862008-11-09T21:02:00.000-08:002008-11-10T13:27:52.763-08:00Are We Warming?

The first good question to ask and answer regarding Global Warming/Climate Change would be:

"Is the Earth warming? What are the long and short term trends?"

First, no, we are currently cooling.

We hit a peak of warming in 1998, dropped a little, went level or slightly cooling for about 7 years until last year when we started cooling more quickly. For recent temperatures, there are several sources:

GISS (Goddard Institute for Space Studies) Click on the top graph and then go down to the bottom right graph of the set of four at the bottom of the page. It gives a month by month mean surface temperature of 2005, 2007, and 2008 compared to the peak temperatures of each month. They update this graph about the 10th of each month.

HadCRUT (Hadley Climate Research Unit)

UAH (University of Alabama, Huntsville) Their Oct. 2008 graph is below.

Watts UP with That? Check out the graph, then read the text.

Atmoz (a good discussion of the 4 main temperature data sources).
Note the bottom graph describing the trends: If you average over 20 years, we are on a warming trend, but that could be considered a biased view. Whenever a pattern takes a turn and it is analyzed by averaging, the peak will be moved forward as the peak temperatures are still in the average long after the real temperature peak was passed.

A telling point: if you are looking at a variable parameter, why be insisting on trying to fit a straight line to it? The answer: they use the unfounded assumption that temperature will go up regardless of . . . any evidence to the contrary.

The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) are ocean circulation patterns which are much larger, longer term, and influential than the La Nina and El Nino effects. The PDO, in particular, has a huge influence and flips between warming and cooling about every 30-35 years - and it flipped to cooling last year according to NASA. The NAO can also join the fun, which it appears to have done this time.

By the way, lobstermen have known of this warm-cold pattern for many decades. Back in the 1960's, a wonderful old, grizzled captain told me that the "lobsta don't like the cold or the hot" every 17 years, but liked the temperatures in between. 'Makes sense to me to favor the most common temeperatures.

Here's one source for the PDO and a good discussion, "Shifting of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation from its warm mode to cool mode assures global cooling for the next three decades." Scan down to the bottom graph which shows the warm and cold phases.

Hmmmmm, no wonder they talk about "climate change" now and not "global warming". But, never fear, the intrepid supporters of global warming say any cooling is only temporary and warming WILL continue. The evidence for this is lacking completely except for their computer models which only predict different degrees of warming. THe IPCC has claimed that CO2 has swamped all natural variation, but now they are admitting that variation may be "temporarily" canceling the CO2 warming effects. We shall see.

There are also much longer term temperature records which I will not include aat this time. Suffice it to say that there was indeed a Little Ice Age (to address at another time) which we have been climbing out of for the last 200 years, so a mild warming over the centuries would not be unusual or unexpected. There was an unpleasant relapse to cold in the late 1700's-early 1800's called the Dalton Minimum, which among other things was one of the stressors that tipped France into its revolution.

Now, here's a controversial point. The IPCC discounts solar activity from having any detectable influence on climate change. They say the graph below shows the effect of CO2. I will not go into the faulty science of the CO2 curve below, that's another post, but they are willing to present this as true.
 From the Woods Hole Research Center.

The only factor I have seen anywhere which is in lock step with the global temperatures is solar activity. CO2's curve over the last 50 years may go up as does the temperature, sort of, but it is a poor fit.

The solar activity, however, is a good fit and hard to ignore, particularly when a group in Denmark found that it is the length of the solar cycle which really correlates.

See the graph below of the length of the solar cycle period versus the global temperature anomaly (how far it is from average). Cycle length on the left axis and temperature anomaly on the right axis.

 From the Danish Meteorological Institute.
The most startling paper I have read in the last 3 years came out this year. "Predicting Solar Cycle 24 and beyond". Solar researchers took six identified, low-frequency, solar oscillations, with cycles of 22 to 420 years, that modulate, or alter, the intensity and periods of the 11-year solar sunspot cycle and ran them at the same time to view how they interfered with each other, by constructive and destructive interference.

What they found was a pattern which is incredibly similar to the known 200 year record of sunspot activity, including the Dalton Minimum, which was not only a time of cold temperatures, but also a known time of low solar activity.

This is so cool, what a match! Their graph is below - the solid line is the sunspot record and the dotted line is their model of the oscillations/solar activity.

Remember, this is not a computer model which attempts to recreate all of the variable of the globe's climate by programming and twiddling factors. It includes solar characteristics and lets them interact. A much simpler approach and devoid of programmers writing code for what they want to happen.

But, wait, the pattern also shows that the next two cycles should be very similar to the Dalton Minimum activity! To make matters more amazing, the most recent cycle, Cycle 24, has been very slow in starting and the predictions are that it will be a low activity cycle.

So, are we warming? We were.

What are we doing? Currently cooling. Possibly for the next 25-30 years.

Are these changes abnormal? No, not at all. They are perfectly normal and, apparently, even predictable.

Between the perdictable PDO warm/cold/warm flip-cycle and solar acitivty correlations over the long term, there are some big influences out there that cannot be just written off for political epediency, particularly when politicians are going to make huge policy decisions based on their idea of the climate. It had sure be the best and most realisitic idea or we will be suffering the consequences of bad decisions and at great costs.

The head of the UN IPCC just recently declared that warming is faster than ever, right now! How can we let him spout such obviously wrong stuff? "Truly inconvenient truths about climate change being ignored" It's disheartening to hear of such blithering, but then he does have to defend his huge multibillion dollar budget, eh? Lies will do it.

Another time I will go into more detail regarding the cyclic nature of the warm peaks at 1938 and 1998 and the cool interims, which describe the Gleissberg cycle. It is nothing new and perfectly normal.Charles Higleyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946311521764584004.post-16915578133413617612008-11-07T09:13:00.000-08:002009-02-10T06:47:29.889-08:00So much for my original planI am starting this blog with the intention of presenting a fairly organized blow by blow, one item at a time, description and discussion of the many aspects of the global climate change controversy.

The goal is to avoid including opinions and unsubstantiated statements and to document with references as much as possible. Too much of what is being published in the news, and even in some journals, is written in terms which are designed to create an emotional response in the reader, opinions are mixed wantonly with selected facts, and avoid stating the whole picture or all of the conditions of the story.

The bottom line: there is no credible basis for the global warming "crisis". It is called "climate change" now as even the alarmists have to admit that we are currently in cooling phase - and we are supposed to fight "climate change", even when it goes down? But, they say, have faith, it will go up.

So, for each post, I plan to pick a topic and try to clearly state the situation from both sides and let the reader decide which is more believable. One warning here is that the global alarmist side does not have much in the way of hard science behind it, in which case I will have to present their opinions, anecdotal material, and projections.

Is my point of view biased? No, it is realistic. If there is no real science involved, it is impossible to present some. I am a scientist, I cherish scientific integrity, and I believe that one cannot make crucial, real world decisions without knowing the real facts and science involved. It is a crime to take advantage of the public trust by misrepresenting science and facts to create a non-existent crisis for which all have to pay.

Keep in mind that you need to identify in yourself two ways of thinking: faith and confidence. Faith is an irrational and unfounded belief in something, while confidence is a firm trust based on fact or experience. I do not have faith in gravity, I have confidence in it. There is a big difference; faith can allow one to believe in something regardless of the facts. Confidence only derives from the consistency and validity of the facts or experiences.

Imagine trying to convince someone that they can warm themselves by standing in front of an open refrigerator. They'd quickly lose confidence in you. But, recently one of the global climate computer models was reprogrammed to deal with the fact that it had (miserably) failed to predict the last 9 years of climate cooling. They effectively reprogrammed it to include a temporary cooling cycle and then published the "fact" that their model predicts cooling and that "in fact" warming can cause cooling!!! Yet, because much of the public has faith in the news, they believe this complete nonsense.

Imagine reading a headline that says that the Earth has failed to warm as predicted according to computer models. Whoa! The Earth cannot fail. It is the models which have failed to model the Earth's climate. Since when are computer models to be believed over reality? There are so many variables in the climate that it is impossible to include the all of the starting parameters, and the interactions are so complex that we cannot predict the weather very well beyond a week from now, let alone years down the line.

So, now I must trash my original plan and point at the concern of my day.

I read a report in the news of "the 10-state Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, which sells state allowances required by electric power plants to emit carbon dioxide."
And then I read about the President-elect's plan to push through legislation for a cap-and-trade system for carbon emissions.

This is really scary stuff. I hope to relate in later blogs the details of the following statements, with references, but I have to say at this point that cap-and-trade will cost every person in the country dearly as a hidden tax. The money generated by this new trading economy will benefit a small number of people (Al Gore's carbon trading business GIM was banked with Lehman Bros. In the last few years, he's reportedly gained $150 million; not bad for having <1 million not long ago) and the government, garnering funds supposedly for developing alternative energy sources. We will develop those anyhow. And you can guess that the money will be put to many other uses as good plain old gov't income.

Here's the problem: CO2 is incapable of warming the planet. It was well above 440 ppm (at 380 ppm today) back in the 1940's (180 years of chemical CO2 data, number 1, "the paper"; for a short version, AIG News) and the temperature dropped while CO2 was high. There is just too little CO2 to do what they say. It is a trace gas. (More of the science of this in a later blog.)

In quick summary, the IPCC:
- refuses to recognize any possible effects from solar activity (the real science says the opposite),

- assumes all natural climate cycles and influences are swamped out by manmade CO2 (an unfounded, draconian assumption),

- artificially and fraudulently attributes water vapor with contributing to warming (it does not, but does quite the opposite),

- inflates the half-life of CO2 in the atmosphere from 5-10 years to 200 years to make their projections work by claiming that our emissions are accumulating, and

- lets the public assume that all CO2 increases are manmade (it is far from the truth).

They also let the public assume that, if we stop emitting CO2, the CO2 will eventually go down, but that we have to start now to allow it to go down decades from now. They are building in the idea not to expect results while they rake in their (our) carbon trading dollars. Talk about something for nothing - this is the perfect nonperformance scam. Nothing will happen and you pay for it!

In fact, the experiment of decreasing CO2 emissions has already been done. During the Great Depression, our emissions dropped about 30% (graph on page 13) and the temperature rise and CO2 rise at the time did not falter, at all! Other records of longer time frames also show that temperature increases preceded CO2 increases, and NOT the other way around. It's called outgassing by the oceans.

The bottom line to this is that they want to alter the economy of the US and the world, creating a carbon economy which will cost us all money for something which is not a real problem. In fact we need the CO2 to increase food production. Greenhouse growers habitually add CO2 up to 1000 ppm to make their plants grow faster.

And, of course, with the planet cooling, we will need every advantage in growing more food as the world population increases this century.

By the way, the Arctic ice cap is easily a month ahead in freezing up this Fall. It has made a miraculous recovery for something predicted to disappear altogether, but that's another topic.

Here's another aspect of the problem. This is coming to the US, just wait:
"Every adult in Britain should be forced to carry 'carbon ration cards'"
Key concept is "Control by Carbon", but really it's control by the government and radical environmentalists (Gore (wealthy Mr Howell), Pachauri (Gilligan), and Hansen (the "Professor") as the figureheads) and lots of money changing hands.

text: Hi I've got myself booked on an uptiding trip with Sea Otter 2 later this month and hope to get some advice on this as I have never fished this method before. I got myself an uptide rod and penn 535 loaded up with 25lb mono. I'm hoping to tie up some rigs in advance and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on the type of hooks and best size (single or pennel) type of rig, snood length, line rig weight, lead weight size etc. Also how much and what baits should I take to get me through a days session. I guess everyone will have a slightly different take on this but basically any advice at all will be appreciated. Cheers BP

Tyre Industry – Update
Natural rubber prices are expected to remain firm in the near future which would adversely impact its user industries like tyre manufacturing. The tyre industry is facing a sharp surge in raw material costs as it consumes 60% of the rubber output in India.
The widening global demand-supply mismatch is resulting in natural rubber prices soaring to record-highs. A disruption in tapping activities in Kerala as heavy rains lashed the largest NR producing state, together with a surge in demand resulted in a rise in domestic prices.
Tyre production registered a y-o-y growth of 16% to 792 lakh units during April 2009 to January 2010. The Indian auto industry recorded its highest ever sales in FY 2010. To meet the strong demand in the auto sector, almost all the tyre companies are operating at full capacity.
|Segment-wise tyre production (units: '000 nos)
|Apr-Jan 09-10
|YoY % growth
|Total Tyre Production
|Truck & Bus Tyre
|Passenger Car Tyre
|Two-wheeler Tyre
|Source: ATMA
To partially offset the recent surge in natural rubber prices, tyre producers are likely to raise tyre prices for the second time in 2010. While companies such as Ceat and Birla Tyres are to hike prices by 2-5%, others like Apollo Tyres and JK Tyre have not mentioned the quantum of increase, state media reports.
Apart from a rise in natural rubber prices, the budget has proposed to increase the excise duty on tyres from 8% to 10%. Excise duty on some raw materials like Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR), Nylon Tyre Cord Fabric (NTCF) and carbon black, have also been proposed to be hiked by 2 percentage points to 10%.
The tyre industry has urged the government to allow duty-free imports of additional 2lakh tonnes natural rubber. This year tyre companies have imported around 1.6 lakh tonne of natural rubber, of which 30,000 tonne attracted 20% duty, while rest was duty-free.
Hence, the consumers of automotive vehicles should get ready to shell out more as excise duty increase, re-engineering for new (Bharat Stage IV) emission norms and higher input cost (metal and tyre prices) will push up price of vehicles by 1-3% from 1 April onwards.

CGAL, which stands for the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library, is an important tool set to use and build geometric algorithms. It contains a tons of packages with various functionalities, so this time I'm only gonna explore a little part of this beast and figure out the basics to do mesh processing with CGAL.
(Mesh smoothing algorithm, picture taken from the CGAL document).
First of all, I assume you already know the basics of mesh processing, especially the halfedge data structure, because all the related packages and algorithms in CGAL are implemented upon this data structure. If you don't, here is a concise introduction or you can resort to the PMP book for a more comprehensive treatment.
And I also assume you have installed CGAL properly and run through the hello world tutorial if you haven't used this library before.
Note that the stable release version of CGAL at the time of writing is 4.10.
The Polyhedron_3 Package
The 3D Polyhedral Surface package, or Polyhedron_3 as its name in the program, is a pointer-based implementation of the halfedge data structure released since the 1.0 version of CGAL.
There are convinient functions to create a tetrahedron though they are not very useful.
template<typename Traits >
You can also read from a file, which is what we usually need in practice. Although it only support very few common file formats like off and obj. You can also write out Polyhedron_3 to a file.
When you need to read some other file formats not supported by this package, or to build the mesh procedurally, then you should use the incremental builder. The following example shows how to build up a Polyhedron_3 mesh from a list of veritices and indices.
The key feature of a halfedge data structure is its flexibility to navigate on the mesh.
There are iterators you can use to iterate through vertices, halfedges, edges and facets. Keep in mind that when you dereference a iterator you'll get the corresponding handle type. Their documentation is a bit of frustrating.
Vertex_iterator vertices_begin();
There is also a special type of iterator called the circulator, who can iterate around a target primitive. Note that the below functions are accessed from a handle, and return a halfedge handle from which the desired primitive can be resolved.
// Iterate around all the vertices of a facet,
Let's see a concrete example to compute the valence of a mesh, I'm only showing the key part.
int main()
Polyhedron_3 P;
for (Vertex_iterator vit = P.vertices_begin(); vit != P.vertices_end(); ++vit) {
auto valence = 0;
Halfedge_around_vertex_circulator vcir = vit->vertex_begin();
do {
} while(++vcir != vit->vertex_begin());
The Surface_mesh Package
Since version 4.6, CGAL introduces a new Surface Mesh package to replace the old Polyhedron_3 package. So why do we need another halfedge data structure? This benchmark shows that the Surface_mesh package achieves better runtime speed with less memory footprints. The reason behind this achievement is because this new package uses an index-based approach to store the mesh, rather than the pointer-based approach taken by Polyhedron_3. So it is recommended to use this package as your first choice. Although at the time of writing there are a few packages in CGAL who still don't support Surface_mesh, so you may want to resort to Polyhedron_3 in such a situation.
The official examples and documentations for this package are much more well-organized. With the experience you already gained from Polyhedron_3, I'm sure you could head directly to the manual and learn how to use this package by yourself.
Let's Be More Generic
From this point on, you already have enough ground to use the mesh data structures. So you could head towards to the specific mesh processing algorithm you need to use. There are quite a few packages out there, including Polygon_mesh_processing, Subdivision, Segmentation, just to name a few. But if you need to use the halfedge data structures provided by CGAL and implement your own mesh processing algorithms on top of that, then you might want to learn more on how to do this effectively.
If you go to check those algorithmic packages and you'll find out that most of them support both Polyhedron_3 and Surface_mesh using the same interface. How to achieve that? Do we have to manually convert one data structure to another? Or do we have to specialize every algorithm for these two data structures? The way CGAL deals with different halfedge implementations is through concepts and traits.
Manifold surface meshes are in essence graphs, so CGAL defines several graph concepts to abstract away the behaviour a halfedge data structure should abide. By parameterizing the mesh data type using template and programming against the graph concepts, any implementation that meets the definition of those concepts can be used by the algorithm.
In order to transform the interfaces of both data structures to conform to the interface required by the graph concepts, CGAL defines a lot of trait classes, which all reside in the "CGAL/boost/graph" directory. Except for Polyhedron_3 and Surface_mesh, a lot of other data structures in CGAL could also use traits to conform to the graph concepts so as to be used by the algorithms. There is even a trait class for OpenMesh, which is also a popular choice of halfedge implementation, defined in the file "graph_traits_TriMesh_ArrayKernelT.h". In other words, all the algorithms written against the graph concepts could also operate on OpenMesh.
That's how generic programming saves the world. In fact, the graph concepts defined by CGAL actually conform to the API defined by BGL, a general graph library, so some basic graph algorithms like shortest path or minimum spanning tree could also operate on Polyhedron_3 and Surface_mesh. As a result, as long as you write your own algorithm using the interface defined by the graph concepts, a lot of data structures could be used with only one implementation. Awesome.
Let's Be More Concrete
Now I'll show you one concrete example on how this thing works. Why don't we just checkout the mesh fairing function from the Polygon Mesh Processing package.
template<typename TriangleMesh, typename VertexRange, typename NamedParameters>
This function takes in a mesh and range of vertices you want to fair, and smoothes out the mesh as much as possible. The np parameter is not important here. So how does CGAL make this function work on all the data structure? We should look into the source code in file "CGAL\Polygon_mesh_processing\internal\fair_impl.h" to see what happens.
We could see that the algorithm is implemented with the graph concept api rather than any class-specific interface.
And the real implementations for these apis are actually template specializations for each known data structure defined in the trait classes I mentioned earlier. You could check the implementation of Polyhedron_3 for example in "CGAL/boost/graph/graph_traits_Polyhedron_3.h".
In this way, the compiler will automatically use the right specialization for a data structure to use. This is often called static dispatch.
I hope that I have sorted out some of the mess about using this library. You may also be interested in reading the BGL package and Boost PropertyMap package for further information.

Jewish Week's Newest Article on Rabbi Mordecai Tendler
Staff Report
Jewish Week (NY)
March 1, 2006
Rabbi Mordechai Tendler was suspended Sunday by the boards of his Rockland County synagogue as a result of longstanding allegations about his sexual behavior, but the rabbi has refused to leave.
According to several congregants, the board of directors and the board of trustees of Kehillat New Hempstead acted to cut off the rabbi's salary and prevent him from serving as their spiritual leader, apparently shaken by a lawsuit filed recently by a woman against the rabbi and the synagogue charging him with giving her "sexual therapy" to increase her chances of finding a husband. Some say that board members were shown physical evidence to bolster charges against the rabbi.
Rabbi Tendler has denied all wrongdoing and insisted that he is the victim of an effort to undermine his reputation, though he has refused to speak to the press.
One of the synagogue's six members of the board of trustees told The Jewish Week that Rabbi Tendler was "suspended indefinitely, until his innocence is proven in a court of law." The board member, who asked not to be named, said the rabbi has a life contract with the synagogue and that terminating it would be complicated.
Rabbi Tendler is seeking to take the synagogue to a bet din of his choosing, but the board member said the synagogue would not agree, believing the bet din would be biased in favor of the rabbi.
The synagogue has been divided over the rabbi for some time. Allegations about his personal activities led to his membership in the Rabbinical Council of America being terminated last year for "improper behavior."
The board of trustees member said synagogue membership has declined from about 200 families to about 35, and Shabbat attendance has fallen dramatically.
Rabbi Tendler continued to attend services this week, and members said they do not know what will happen on Shabbat when he usually offers a sermon.
Rabbi Tendler's brother, Ahron Tendler, recently announced that he would soon step down as spiritual leader of his large Orthodox congregation in Los Angeles. That community has been shaken by allegations that Rabbi Ahron Tendler acted improperly with young women in his charge as a teacher in a local yeshiva in years past.

Okonomiyaki Fries: Yaki Sauce, Kewpie Mayo, Furikake, Bonito Flakes
Decarboxylize the kief. Preheat your oven to 220 degrees F. Take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper that will not burn in the oven. Very carefully sprinkle the kief onto the sheet making sure that it is evenly disbursed. Place the baking sheet into the oven uncovered and heat for 25 minutes. Pull the baking sheet from the oven, and let it cool completely. Be very careful when removing it from the pan. You now have decarboxylized or "activated" kief.
Once the kief has cooled, add it to the salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix the salt with your hands or a coated whisk until the kief is evenly distributed.
Measure out the amount you want to season your fries to get an accurate dose per serving of Okonomiyaki Fries or just add a fresh pinch to lightly medicate the dish.
Most grams of kief will at least test at 50% THC, so do the math accordingly. If one gram of Cheese kief tests at 50% THC, fifty percent of 1,000mg would be 500mg. So if you added 1 gram worth of White Widow into your recipe at 50% THC, you need to divide 500mg by the amount your recipe yields. For example, if you used the salt by the teaspoon, 48 teaspoons are in a cup and would yield 10.42mg. If you want a smaller dose adjust accordingly by lowering the amount of kief used by ½, ¼, 1/8, and 1/16 increments.

"For Peete's Sake"
Saturday, March 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network
Saturday, March 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network
The new comedic, dramatic and intimate OWN docu-series "For Peete's Sake" following the lives of husband and wife duo Holly Robinson Peete and Rodney Peete will join the network's popular Saturday night line up on Saturday, March 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Holly Robinson Peete and Rodney Peete were two of the brightest stars in their fields in the 80's and 90's. Holly lit up the small screen from an early age with starring roles in "21 Jump Street" and "Hangin' With Mr. Cooper," and her husband and NFL quarterback Rodney Peete dominated the league for 16 years. Now the duo are giving viewers an intimate look at their hectic and often-times comical lives as they attempt to balance raising their four kids, running a charity (the HollyRod Foundation) and spending time with Holly's über-manager mother Dolores who is still wheeling and dealing even as she approaches 80 years young. In a household where constant activity and change are the norm, the series celebrates the chaotic, yet loving dynamic of life in this magnetic American family.
In its premiere season, the Peetes fully display their knack for getting the most out of life no matter what curveballs might be thrown their way. Holly and Rodney are loving parents to their 17-year-old son RJ who has autism and was told he would never speak. Today, not only can't he stop talking, but he enjoys advocating for special needs children. Meanwhile his twin sister Ryan is trying to decide whether to go to college or jumpstart a career in music. Thirteen-year-old son Robinson caught the athletic gene from his father and would love to follow in his footsteps, but all the latest concussion studies have Holly wishing for a less dangerous choice. Rodney is beginning to feel the aches and pains in retirement, prompting Holly to have him visit a doctor to get tested after so many years playing football. And as a self-proclaimed "black-tress" of a certain age, Holly has struggled in recent years to find acting roles suitable for her and is ready to branch out and develop a lifestyle brand of her own.
Whether they're setting up for their next big fundraiser, coaching their kids into lives of their own, or just trying to keep that special spark alive in their marriage, there's never a dull moment with the Peetes.

Picture of Bob Siegel with unidentified masked woman claiming to be Myra Biblowit
"How has Susan's day gone?" You might ask. Well, let me tell you.
- Susan's PIC line checked out OK so she has started what will be her daily chemotherapy protocol through Sunday. Think of it as a liquid sandwich -- fludarabine on busulfan bread in a 3-stage infusion that is spread out over 24 hours, with breaks in between the stages
- Late this afternoon she was descended upon by a flock of dentists (5 to be exact, and we think it's bad when we have to see even one). The reason for the oral scrutiny is that the mouth is usually the first place to exhibit signs of Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD description under the "Risks" heading towards the bottom of the blog page)
- She has had a second line added (you've always known she's well-connected), a heplock line for IV fluids, primarily saline solution and nutrients, so she can multi-task her intake
- She has her first visitor, a masked woman claiming to be Myra Biblowit
- Her spirits are good (Susan's; don't know about the masked woman); she has been able to log on to the blog and deeply appreciates the supportive and caring sentiments you've all been offering

Haley turns 9 tomorrow! Crazy!! She's in 4th grade and seems so old! She's loving reading, animals, reading about animals, horses, crafts, mermaids, and the color purple.
We decided to do a carnival party this year.
Here's the popcorn cupcakes. :) pretty cool, huh? It's just marshmallows. you pinch them in half, and put a bunch on an iced cupcake. The butter look is yellow food coloring in some water.
Our games were Balloon Darts
A photo booth
Ring Toss
Pin the Nose on the Clown
Photo booth fun!!
Snacks and prizes

Producer Licensing Coalition Urges Delay on Fingerprinting Model
A coalition of industry trade associations including PIA, along with insurance carriers, met Tuesday, April 22, 2003 in Alexandria, Virginia to review the status of implementation of the NAIC's Producer Licensing Model Act and discuss options for achieving greater uniformity across state lines. Of particular concern is the NAIC draft model fingerprinting act that the Uniform Producer Licensing Working Group unveiled at its March 2003 meeting. This model would give states authority to require fingerprints from producers as part of the licensing and renewal process and to access the FBI criminal background databases using the fingerprints.
Coalition members had many of the same concerns as PIA, including the lack of specificity on issues such as confidentiality, scope of information accessible to the state authority, and procedural safeguards. (See PIA National Newsline, April 14, 2003) The Coalition is urging the NAIC to defer any action on the model until the Working Group and interested parties have had the opportunity to meet and discuss the several deficiencies in the bill.
What It Means to Agents: The industry coalition recognizes that the NAIC, as the presumed functional insurance regulator under GLBA, is being pressured by other functional regulators to conduct more thorough background checks, utilizing the FBI criminal background check databases. NAIC and most of the states currently lack authority to access those databases. Congress could grant such authority. The House Financial Services Committee will take up such a bill only if the Senate promises that it, too, will attempt to pass such a bill. As yet, the Senate has been uninterested.
In the absence of federal action, any state-by-state action to obtain such authority must be done after careful review of the needs of the state and the rights of the affected individual agency and carrier officials.

Doctor Who (1963)
6 plot holes in season 22
Starring: Colin Baker, Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton, Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy, Tom Baker, William Hartnell
Plot hole: The energy weapons in this story fire a series of small red bullets, which cause numerous problems. For a start, the guns appear to have seven chambers, yet the bullets start from the same point; as they are separate bullets, surely the most minor of movements would mean they wouldn't emerge in a straight line. Later, when the Doctor steals a cart, the bullets are coming quite a distance towards the screen but the bullets don't get any bigger. Also, in the same scene, the Doctor passes through the area they seem to be travelling, yet the bullets just continue to pass in front of him.
Add time
Plot hole: The Bandrils not only know of the Time Lords but are capable of connecting to them, yet the Bandril are barely capable of space travel and can't produce their own food. So, the Bandrils are not very technologically advanced it seems, so why do they have ties with the High Council of the Time Lords? And how does either party benefit from such an association?
Add time
Plot hole: Peri goes to a fair bit of trouble to bolt the door on the bath house when rescuing the Doctor. When the Rani and the Master arrive, they simply open the door. Now this, in itself, isn't a mistake, as the Master has a special gadget for opening locked/bolted doors, but both the Master and the Rani seem surprised that someone is in the bath house.
Add time
Attack of the Cybermen - S22-E1
Plot hole: The junkyard at 76 Totters Lane seen in "Attack of the Cybermen" was also in "An Unearthly Child", the very first episode of the show. If you consider London's high land value, it is highly unlikely that an ownerless junkyard would still survive twenty-two years... the local authority would have long since issued a "compulsory purchase order".

I received this book for free from the author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.The Sound of Light by Claire Wallis
Publisher: self-published
Publication Date: July 17, 2017
Genres: Mental Health, New Adult, Paranormal
Format: e-ARC
Source: the author
My littlest girl has always been a bit peculiar. It was nothing I could ever put a finger on, but I always knew there was something inside her that made her a different kind of special. A deeper kind.
K'acy's got a light around her, one that'll just about knock you over, especially if you don't see her coming. She's got music in her soul, too. Deep, resonating music that echoes and hums, just like the notes that come from the bass guitar she's had attached to her hip since the day she turned thirteen years old.
She's got a hell of a secret, yes, but she does what she's got to do to make it one worth having. She takes care of people. She changes their stories. I spent my life telling both of my girls that you always gotta do what's right, even when it hurts, and it makes me proud to know she was listening.
I saw the way she looked at that boy on the day they met, and I knew right then that things were going to change. Two different people from two different worlds is nothing but a recipe for heartbreak, and when the lies pile higher and higher, it can change a person into something they're not.
It took me dying all those years ago to finally figure out just exactly how special my K'acy really is, and even though I'm not with her anymore, I don't want that boy and his family to change her. I want her to keep doing what's right, even when it hurts.
Because that's who she is inside. That's her deeper kind of special.
I'm a Claire Wallis fan. I loved Push, it was absolutely epic. So I had very high hopes for The Sound of Light. However, it's been a while and my reading preferences have shifted and I'm reading only 100% contemporaries right now. And maybe this was paranormal, but I'm also not sure if K'acy had some psychiatric issues. I honestly couldn't tell. While the writing was smooth and effortless, the story itself felt like it was in limbo. There was nothing I was itching to get to. I don't mind a simple story that catches me emotionally, but the love here was quite flat. I didn't connect to the romance at all. I didn't know where this was going, or any conflict. Yes, maybe there could be a source (the black car) but I knew it wouldn't turn out to be scary. Ultimately this one just wasn't my cup of tea. *cry*
The characters were all great on their own, but none of them meshed AT ALL for me. I like K'acy and her confidence. I liked Jarrod and how he just let it all seemingly hang out, when really we don't know him. And yes, I liked Adam, the "nice" boy who is probably a bit bad. The only two I felt any connection with was the bromance between Jarrod and Adam, and it was barely there.
The romance was all told, nothing felt. I know K'acy said she felt a song when she saw Adam…but I didn't feel this song. I wanted to know what he smelled like, how she felt the heat from his body when he stood close, all that romantic goodness. Instead they texted like best friends. wah. I needed my romance!
This story wasn't what I expected, and while the writing was good, the content wasn't there for me and I was desperate for something to grab me. I also got hints of paranormal, and if you gave this book to me 3 years ago I would have loved it, but I am not into that at all and read contemporary only, so when I read it now it just made K'acy look like she has mental problems. Timing is a thing.
Rec it? Hmmmm. I can't. t see if any other friends read it and what they though. It's definitley a hit with some readers, but not me.
Good luck!

Protein purification often requires iterations of individual column purifications, sample fractionation and visualization, and fraction pooling for the next column. Significant time is spent developing the purification strategy and using that information for subsequent protein purification cycles. A well-designed Multi-D method utilizes optimized individual column methods to create an automated and highly reproducible multistep procedure.

The ankle and foot are comprised of a complex network of bones, ligaments, tendons and soft tissue that give us the ability to both stand and move about in an upright position. Injuries to the these lower extremities can be quite painful making it difficult to walk, run or perform daily tasks. Schedule a consultation with a Coastal Orthopedic Associates' doctor today to determine the extent of your injuries. Ankle surgery is indicated when the conservative approach (i.e. - rest, ice, compression, elevation and medications) fails to restore normal function or provide a satisfactory outcome. Ankle surgeries are classified as either anatomical reconstructions using a direct repair or non-anatomical reconstructions by tenodesis.
Joint instability, accident impact injuries and arthritic pain are the most common reasons for considering ankle surgery to include:
NOTE: The Brostrom-Evans-Gould technique is a hybrid of both anatomic and non-anatomic techniques. It involves shortening and overlapping the damaged elongated lateral ankle ligaments to improve stability while retaining full range of motion.
If you have recurring ankle pain, swelling or joint instability, use our website's Request an Appointment form or call us at (904) 269-1930 to learn about any ankle surgery.

Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump are friends. And they have been for quite some time. This is a fact, people. But for some reason (perhaps because their parents are in a knock-down drag-out fight for the White House) that social bullet point is constantly and consistently being called into question. Both potential first daughters have been asked repeatedly to define or defend their relationship. It's the interview note card that will never die. And it needs to.
Last week, Clinton was once again called upon to quash rumors that she and Trump had "put their friendship on ice" in the wake of their parents' campaigns.
"We were friends long before this election," said Clinton during a sit-down with the ladies of "The View." "We will be friends long after this election. Our friendship didn't start in politics, and it certainly is not going to end because of politics."
Clinton added that she loved Trump's family, a point that co-host Joy Behar asked her to clarify. By family, Clinton meant Trump's husband, Jared Kushner, and her three children. Both broods (Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, have two children) live in Manhattan and run in the same small circles.
Besides being working moms in high stakes New York City, Clinton and Trump also know exactly what it's like to have parents in the spotlight (and how to weather the grownups' multiple scandals). Remove the flurry of the past 18 months, and no one would give their friendship a backwards glance.
It's a point that both women have been forced to underscore several times. In July, Clinton told Extra that the campaign had not corroded their friendship. That same month, Trump told People: "We're both incredibly supportive of our parents, as we should be. But we also continue to have great respect for one another." Clinton has called Trump a "great woman" and Trump has said they have "great respect for one another." Time and time again the twosome have reaffirmed their supposedly "unlikely" friendship.
More recently, Trump expounded on just how she and Clinton manage to stay above the fray.
"Obviously the intensity and the scrutiny of this moment in our lives is pretty extreme, so we've stayed close to one another — maybe a little less publicly," said Trump in an interview with Greta Van Susteren for Fox News. "We support each other. We're not the candidates. We're the children of the candidates," continued Trump, who added that the pair did not delve into politics before and do not now.
Even Donald Trump has weighed in on the daughters' closeness. "You know, Chelsea likes Ivanka, and Ivanka likes Chelsea," the GOP presidential nominee said at a rally in August. "I wish they didn't like each other, but they do. It's easier if they don't like each other."
Perhaps that's why the friendship question persists? Because the "they hate each other!" headlines would be so much easier to write and read, feeding into the established narrative of fixed bipartisan animosity. Yet that is not the case at all, and both women have been reiterating that point since their parents first squared off against one another.
