Israel Adaptation to Climate Change Policy Israel Adaptation to Climate Change Policy
Executive Summary
Report by: University of Tel Aviv, Technion, Samual Neeman Institute and the Ministry of Environmental Protection
The Israeli Climate Change Information Center (ICCIC) first report.
In accordance with a decision of the Israeli Government (No. 474 – June 2009), in March 2011, the Ministry of Environmental Protection established a knowledge hub, the Israeli Climate Change Information Center (ICCIC). The mission of ICCIC is to assemble the existing knowledge and scientific research regarding adaptation to climate change, identify research gaps and define the risks and consequences of climate change in various sectors. According to the findings, the ICCIC will suggest a national policy for each of the sectors. Furthermore, the ICCIC will integrate Israel's knowledge and technologies as a basis for implementation and marketing purposes both locally and abroad.
Adaptation policy is becoming a key issue of the post-Kyoto 2012 international climate policy agreement. The difficulties in implementing national and international mitigation policies and the increasing awareness of climate change phenomena eventually gave impetus to science and policy research on adaptation.
The first report of the ICCIC was finalized on September 2011. The report was prepared by professional experts who each had a special steering committee for each subject. The committees include experts from the academic centers as well as relevant government ministries and industry. The goal of these groups was to perform as a multi-disciplinary think tank that will support the working procedures. The report reflects the existing knowledge regarding the implications of climate change on the State of Israel. It is based on global and local scientific research and professional publications. The report includes the identification of the existing research gaps and provides detailed recommendations about prioritized research requirements (short-term and long-term). This will enable the Ministry of Environmental Protection and other Ministries to set priorities for the required research.
The full report (in Hebrew) is constructed as follows: First, in the climate research section, the predicted climate changes in the next 50 years are described by decade. This is followed by the implications of climate change focusing on 4 areas:
• The water sector
• Public health
• Biodiversity
• The urban environment and green building
Finally, the scientific knowledge is reviewed in two multidisciplinary areas, geo-strategy and the Israeli economy.
Highlights from the main report
Climate Change:
The northern part of Israel is characterized by a Mediterranean climate, whereas the southern part of Israel has an arid climate, with a narrow strip in between having a semi-arid climate. In these areas of different climatic zones, frequent weather changes are common since the effects of climate systems have different synoptic characteristics. This fact is reflected by a great variation in temperature and in changes of rainfall.
The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report estimates that the expected climate change in the present century will lead to global warming. As a result, the global temperature is expected to increase by 1.8 to 4 degrees Celsius by the end of the 21st century, depending on the different scenarios of greenhouse gases (GHG) emission. During the 21st century, serious climate changes are expected all over the world and in the Mediterranean basin in particular. The climate forecasts in Israel show an average warming of 0.4 to 0.8 degrees Celsius per decade for the coming century, varying according to the area and the season. Total rainfall is expected to decrease in most areas, although this trend is not statistically significant. Moreover, the frequency of extreme weather events, drought years, floods and heat waves are expected to increase. The main effect of the anticipated changes is the increased uncertainty and diversion from 'business as usual' (BAU) weather. These changes may have major effects on various sectors, primarily on the water sector, public health, biodiversity and the urban environment. In addition, they are expected to influence geostrategic scenarios as well as on the GDP and the social welfare in Israel.
There are two key modes of action in response to climate change. The first one is mitigation of the phenomenon through various prevention tools, especially human intervention to reduce use of energy sources that cause GHG emissions. The second is adaptation of human and natural systems as a response to the phenomenon, in order to minimize the damages to various systems. Due to the understanding that the current mitigation measures will not prevent climate change and that the temperature will, most likely, increase by 2 degrees Celsius on average, a variety of adaptation measures should be prepared.
The water sector is expected to be directly affected by climate change. A significant reduction is evident in the Kineret water basin, as a result of the reduced precipitation in Northern Israel. In addition, in the south of Israel, a clear trend of reduction in the amount of precipitation has been observed. In contrast, at the center of Israel, there is no significant trend in the amount of precipitation. The changes in the nature of the precipitation and a rise in extreme weather events will increase flooding and runoff and will reduce the recharge of ground water resources. The gap between the natural water supply and the demand for water will be filled by sea and brine water desalination as well as increased wastewater treatment in higher standards so that they will suit all kind of crops. Nevertheless, desalination and wastewater treatment require an excessive and expensive use of energy that would increase emissions of conventional pollutants and GHGs. Moreover, considerations of environmental and water sources pollution should also be included.
The current scientific research in the water sector focuses on the effects of climate change on the reduction of water supply and its deterioration in quality. Also, as human actions affect the water supply in Israel in combination with natural physical climate changes, they are included in the survey (for example, water demand, energy consumption and planning).
The health sector is affected in several ways by the climate, both directly through physical influences (heat waves, for example) and indirectly through the effect on chronic and infectious diseases and on mortality and morbidity from external causes. The effect of climate on the mechanism of chronic diseases is not fully understood, but it is known that extreme weather conditions (heat, cold, humidity) increase the frequency of appearance of different diseases, such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Climate change affects the presence and behavior of different vector-borne infectious diseases. These changes are shown by a seasonal pattern that is displayed by many of these diseases. While some of the factors responsible for this seasonality are known, a major part of the phenomenon is not yet explained. Other climate factors, such as ultra-violet radiation (a correlation exists between the climate change and temperature rise, and the reduction of ozone layer in the atmosphere), affects the appearance of other diseases, such as cancer and cataracts. Climate also affects mortality and morbidity rates as a result of other factors such as car accidents, fires, nutritional condition and more.
The health sector in Israel is expected to be severely influenced by the climate change. According to the World Health Organization, there are three possible health outcomes to climate change: First, direct outcomes that occur mostly as a result of extreme weather. Second, outcomes that occur due to environmental and ecological changes, caused by climate change. Third, outcomes due to trauma, infections or psychological and nutritional effects amongst the weak and the immigrating population, as a result of economic migration caused by climate change.
The direct health consequences of climate change will be reflected by an increase in the volume and frequency of hot and cold waves, increasing the burden on the human body and changing the seasonal pattern and geographic distribution of chronic and infectious diseases.
The environmental and ecological changes that will occur as a result of climate change are expected to increase the frequency of natural phenomena such as droughts and floods, which will seriously affect the health of population residing in the area (disease outbreak, water infection, damage to the sanitary infrastructure, etc.). All the expected health outcomes of climate change, as described above, might force migration of the human and animal populations (amongst them animals that can be transmitters of diseases) to other parts of the world. This process might also lead to a change in the geographical distribution of diseases.
In terms of biodiversity, climate change might lead to serious changes in interspecific interactions and in geographical distribution of species, and will affect the biodiversity and ecosystem services. This is relevant both for fresh water ecosystems (including rivers, seasonal water bodies, springs and the Lake Kineret), marine ecosystems (Eilat Bay and the Mediterranean Sea) and to terrestrial ecosystems. It is important to note that even though the biota in our area are already adapted to uncertain climate conditions, further reduction in precipitation and its consistency, can lead to critical changes in the ecosystems and their functionality, mostly in the arid desert area.
When discussing biodiversity, it is important to mention that in the last decade, there has been an increasing number of studies dealing with the future effects of climate change on the flora and fauna, and ecosystem functioning. Nevertheless, only few of the studies dealing with this subject have been conducted in Israel. The review shows the current research regarding the effects of climate change on biodiversity in Mediterranean climate areas around the world, while emphasizing studies held in Israel and on its coastal line. The very few studies that have examined the effects of climate change on the richness and diversity of species in Israel showed unambiguous results that varied between different groups of organisms. The number of studies on the effects of climate change on fresh water systems is particularly low, probably because that the major and immediate threats to these ecosystems are human activities. Climate change will increase the pressure on these ecosystems, therefore increasing the severity of the deterioration.
Models predicting climate change effects on species range distribution, forecast that as a result of a temperature rise, the distribution areas of these species will change, and that they will move to areas where the temperature range will be similar to those where they exist today. One of the consequences of this change in the distribution range of species might be an increase in distribution of tropic arthropods and the spread of diseases by them.
Populations located at transition areas between Mediterranean climates and desert climates, are characterized by high genetic diversity. Therefore, these areas are of great importance in order to maintain biodiversity in the era of climate change. The differences in the genetic composition between populations from different habitats can be used for species conservation under stressed conditions. A minor effect on primary productivity reduction in Mediterranean grasslands might be expected.
In marine systems, the review emphasizes the major effects of invasive species in the Mediterranean Sea, a phenomenon that will probably accelerate with the warming of sea water. Another significant effect will be the destruction of the coastal abrasion platforms. The main threat to the systems in Eilat Bay is the coral bleaching which is the basis of the ecosystem of the reef.
The sector of green building (sustainable building), is mostly perceived as one of possible paths to leverage mitigation of GHG emissions, since the building sector is responsible for about 40% of the global energy consumption and for a third of the GHG emissions. The numerous benefits of green building include reduced operating costs, lower energy output, improved health and productivity of people using the building, and reduced carbon emissions and therefore impact on climate change. However, the anticipated climate changes also require a conceptual change in the way buildings and cities can adapt (shade, wind exposure, thermal comfort, adjustment to extreme events such as floods and sea level rise, etc.). This sector also has the greatest potential for significant and profitable mitigation in consumption and emissions.
The life span of buildings is relatively long, and therefore, actions taken today have a substantial influence on emissions in both the short and long term. There is a clear interrelation between building and urban scales that should be considered in order to achieve successful results in this field. The urban system has a major influence on the single building performance and on the creation of a micro-climate in the city. The city morphology and orientation affect the urban network and the exposure of building facades, streets and open spaces to sun and wind, and may influence on the heat island effect. Moreover, these factors should be considered while combining solar systems for energy production in buildings (heating water, building integrated photo-voltaic (BIPV) and micro wind turbines) since the urban array has a major impact on the efficiency of these systems.
Well-designed cities can reduce the amount of GHG emissions while coping with environmental problems such as air pollution, waste and transportation as well as local economic development. Environmental gain can be achieved by promoting the use of alternative energy sources on one hand, and encouraging well designed cities which reduce urban sprawl and suburbanization, encourage mixed-uses, green buildings and better public transportation, on the other.
In the multidisciplinary field of the geostrategic sector, there are three major phenomena that are caused by climate change: water shortage, rising sea level and rising temperatures (warming, massive dehydration and an increase of extreme events). In addition, there are integrated subjects that will be affected by the cumulative climate change effect. The implications can be divided in accordance with geographical aspect: the inner circle, the circle of neighboring countries (Muslim-Arab countries close to the first circle) and the rest of the world's countries.
Despite the research gaps, it is evident that climate change may have major geo-strategic implications for Israel. Among the most important issues in this area are the changes of the balance of geostrategic forces, the water sector, immigration to Israel (inside, around and through), increased energy consumption, the food sector, defense system, etc.
Economics: climate change may influence the world economy in general and the Israeli economy in particular. There are few studies that have estimated the economic costs of climate change without mitigating actions and/or adaptation (BAU), and they indicate about changes in world GDP (gross domestic product) in accordance with the expected change in average temperature. The changes in the world GDP are estimated to 0.5% per year for the first half of this century, and growing up to 1-5% per year by the end of this century and beyond. The costs of adaptation, mitigation and climate change damage are related one to the other. For example, while the adaptation measures are more extensive, the damage might decrease and also the need for mitigation.
Economic assessment of the various adaptation measures has been extensively researched. However, most studies provide an evaluation at a global level or by regional aggregation, and not by state or sectorial levels. Mostly, these studies show higher adaptation costs for developing countries compared to developed ones. For this reason it is hard to learn from existing scientific literature about the expected costs of adaptation for a small-open-developed country like Israel. Related research focusing on the adaptation costs for Israel was not found in any scientific literature. Most of the existing economic studies for Israel focus on sea level rise or climate change impact on agriculture. For other sectors of the Israeli economy the information is limited. Few recent economic studies employ the "Top- Down" method of CGE (Computable General Equilibrium) or IAM (Integrated Assessment Models). These models are used to evaluate the cost of GHG mitigation programs for, or climate change damage cost in Israel.
In general, climate change related publications can be divided into two main groups: the first, studies that document changes in different climate factors that have been observed at different periods and in different areas. These studies are usually based on statistical analyses. The second group includes studies examining different scenarios based on trends in the variability of climatic parameters in the future, based on the models and assumptions found in studies in the first group. Even though the number of the published studies is rather large, their synthesis is very difficult or even impossible due to the data variability, the analysis methods and the time these studies were held. Accordingly, it may be concluded that there are large and variable scientific gaps in the knowledge of the effects of climate change in all areas.
General research and knowledge gaps
In the water sector, the main issues are precipitation variance (spread, quantity and extreme events) and their effect on recharge, the effects of rising temperature on evaporation and on the quality of water, the frequency and duration of draughts, runoff monitoring, water and food safety and in the urban area, savings and depreciation. In the health sector, the major gaps shown are mostly in the areas of climate change effects on heart diseases, respiratory diseases, cancer and cataracts, and infectious diseases transmitted by food and vectors. Regarding the biodiversity, it is difficult to assess the effects of climate change on ecosystems due to the lack of knowledge based on empirical research. In the multi-disciplinary economic section, the review indicates gaps in research relating to the empirical assessment of adaptation costs in Israel, sectorial studies, quantitative studies based on model offing adaptation strategy. Furthermore, there is a need to expand the research of the uncertainty in the climate change phenomenon and its effects on the cost of adaptation and policy measures, including the insurance sector.
There are other areas that have not yet been studied under the framework of the ICCIC, that have high vulnerability potential caused by climate change on one hand, and major effects on the Israeli economy, on the other hand. These include the energy and electricity sectors, agriculture, tourism, transportation, etc. Therefore, these areas also should be studied in the ICCIC framework.
In summary, this report includes a comprehensive review of research in key areas regarding climate change, and is expected to serve as a primary database for additional research and scientific work on this subject, with the assistance of the dedicated steering committees. It has to be noted that there are several issues and policy measures that are justified regardless of the issue of climate change adaptation. These issues will be further discussed in our future reports. Further research is necessary in order to define Israel's future policy in each sector, and the preparation required to implement it when needed, whilst giving the government the financial means to execute the chosen policy.

The name " InnWhite" is a perfect word to describe this room –As the name implies this room is a crisp clean white with an opened air garden at the front of the room.I have chosen bright white colour for this room due to the room position and the fact that this room has more exposes to wind and sunlight. The room faces south toward Takiab Mountain so it reveals maximum light and breeze from Takiab Mountain. The finishing white room works well together with bright light creating warm inviting atmosphere.
Promanade deck
The classic room is done great vibrant brown and yellow to reflect French and Thai fusion designs. This room has a real " Home " character.
All the wooden elements in the classic room create a homey atmosphere such as the sea pine wooden bed, cane chair, teak wooden floor, wooden picture rails and wooden birdcage bedside table.
This room is particularly special to me as I hand built the bed and install wallpaper and picture rails. I must admit that the classic is my own carpentry lesson.

this looks like another game made in the early 2000's that someone bought for $1000 and are trying to release it as a 2016 game. why do game companies do this?
Aeria really need new management looks like yet another aeria games p.o.s , i wonder how much the founders scam bundles will be $500 ?
excited for this game? just forget it because this game UI, gameplay, graphics, sounds etc will be the same the same things like in aura kingdom, dragomon hunter.
also obviously this game will have a lot of gold sellers or "BOTS!!!" just skip this game. this game is already dead before its releasment . (my apologize for my bad grammar).
im very excited about this new game 😀
its a mixture of eden ,dragomon , and aura kingdom with the graphics skills animations and also the ability to change classes at will in there but the skill animations you can actually use grabs in there( which has not been done in any of those games by aeria). these grabs xD move the mob too its not some hit and their still there sitting animation. Kinda curious about this one because combining all those wouldnt be bad.
Why do they keep announcing new games with same graphics as all their previous games announced? What a joke
Wait…is this Dragomon Hunter with another name or what? hahaha
twin saga ins't new.
great a new mmo oh w8 it's being run by aeria games SKIP!!!!!

Websense is a San Diego, California-based company which produces Web security gateway software, including Web filtering, also known as Internet content-control software of the same name, email security, and data loss prevention technology.
Websense allows system administrators to block access to web sites (and other protocols) based on categories. These categories contain lists of sites that can be blocked. Separate categories can be blocked at all times or only during certain times of the day. Founded in 1994, by Phil Trubey and went public in 2000. Websense, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN) http://www.websense.com/global/en/ is a leader of web filtering and a premier provider of web and desktop security software
At present, Websense monitors more than 42 million individual employees at more than 50,000 organizations such as government agencies which includes the email systems for both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Imagine if this software is in use in government offices such as the House and Senate – the users probably do not realize all their internet usage is being monitored and recorded. Imagine the potential for blackmailing someone like Senator Larry Craig if he has been using office computers to access boy porn sites, or any married politician accessing female escort services.
They also service many public libraries and schools (as mandated hy the Department of Homeland Security), and many American and foreign businesses .On May 25th, 2005, the DHS chose Websense to manage employee web access, The US Department of Homeland Security contracted with Websense to block spywareon its computer networks., as well as to establish a comprehensive program for the obsrvation of the use of any computer its system covers.The vendor is Websense, which will be provides protection spyware, viruses, and malicious mobile code. http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/WBSN/0x0x155645/5478d22e-f9fe-4915-bcf4-021084957241/WBSN_News_2005_5_23_General.pdf
Websense software is designed to prevent any government and private sector employees from wasting time at work, by limiting the time they can spend shopping online and booking their vacations, as well as keeping them off of game and pornography sites. Their systems also allow prevention of viewing of any material deemed to be offensive such as any anti-government internet postings and most especially any material deemed to be blatantly anti-Semitic or hostile to the state of Israel.
In December 2006 the company acquired the Israeli data security company PortAuthority for $90 million. Announcing the take-over, WebSENSE said that it was "committed to maintaining the company's research and development presence in Israel." In addition, Websense's PreciseID uses technology initially developed for the Israeli military to track the whereabouts and distribution of data
In November 2007 web-users began reporting that Webense was blocking within the US and the UK their access to the blog site of Noam Chomsky and to the website of Norman Finkelstein, prominent academics known for their criticism of the state of Israel.
Websense monitoring of American libraries and schools, had brought it to the attention of civil liberties groups on the grounds that it restricts the free flow of speech..
Some anti-censorship groups and human rights organizations claim that Websense is censoring free speech in countries with limited civil liberties. Websense is seen by some as discriminatory for blocking categories such as education, religion, health and non-pornographic homosexual content.
Websense is used by internet service providers in Yemen as part of the government enforced censorship program. It is also used in China forl similar programs.
In a 2005 report, the ACLU calls Websense a deeply flawed technology. It also mentions the 2001 Peacefire's report on the inaccuracy of the software, and notes that the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) was struck down on 2002 by a federal court in a decision that was partly based on similar reports.It further notes that, although the blocking technology has improved over the years since 2002 it still remains a "blunt instrument" and that, on public libraries using Websense, people of all ages "are still denied access to a wide range of legitimate material".
Here we have a large American technical company that works with the Israeli government and the American DHS, that has the unrestricted opportunity of blocking the internet downloading of information deemed by it and its employers as "improper" and to watch any individual who uses a computer connected with their systems and services.
It is very interesting to note that Websense has been blocking information on the Iranian MV Iran Deyanat from reaching the computers used by its subsribers. The reasons for this can be found in an excellent article by Brian Harring." (See here, Ed. This article also reveals how Bush is about to sell Israel out to the Iranians.)

The Fancy Burger Food Marathon
Choosing the best burger in LA is as futile as choosing the best sushi. The argument will rage on longer than the Arab/Israeli conflict. So why not add fuel to the already out of control fire:
The Pug Burger from The Hungry Cat
I didn't get an egg on it, which might render my opinion obsolete but it's a damn good burger. Juicy, rich, almost too big too eat... all wonderful attributes for a burger. The blue cheese is very pungent which could overpower the burger for the faint at taste. With avocado and bacon this burger pulls out all the stops.
The Comme Ça BurgerA more subtle, refined burger bursting with flavor. Pound for pound it might be the best in LA. The way the cheese melts around the patty, it's almost like a cheddar casing. And the bun is worthy of eating on its on.
The Classic at 8oz
This was my second visit to 8oz and I can confidently say it doesn't belong on any "best of" lists. The meat is mealy and dry, the buns don't have that freshly baked quality- it's just outclassed by the other gourmet burgers in LA.
Next time will be the Dirty Burger Food Marathon, for those wonderful greasy under-$5-gut-bombs that LA does so well...

When 50 rock critics and DJs were asked to list the ten greatest albums of all-time in 1978, Blue didn't make it in to the compiled list (although other Joni albums did). The exercise was repeated in 1987, and Blue was no. 67 (still behind Court & Spark).
In 1997, Blue was no. 35 in the Guardian's 100 Best Albums Ever list, as voted for by panel of experts "from around the world" (although it's safe to assume most of them were British as The Stone Roses occupy the no. 5 slot).
Blue was no. 50 in the Ultimate Album List from 1999, and no. 37 in the Ultimate Album List 2 (see further down the same link).

All the details of it's writing are there. Enjoy.
The early morning sunrise cut yellow and orange shards of color across the sky. Stephan shivered as the wind of their momentum carried them through the air, and tried to wrap his leather jacket more tightly about his torso, wishing he had opted for something a little warmer. Temperatures varied wildly sometimes with altitude, and with the clear day Rosa was flying higher than she usually did.
There, to the left. Do you see it?
Stephan looked off to the left after Rosa's telepathic message, bringing glasses to his eyes to help him see better in the distance.
Yes, replied Stephan. Looks bad from here. Bring us closer please?
Of course.
The great dragon extended its wings, its red scales glinting like fire in the light. It turned and dove at the same time, giving Stephan the familiar feeling in his stomach. He kept his glasses on the scene.
I see one. Not bad. Minor?
No, there are two. The other is below in the trench. I sense human death…suffering.
"Shit," exclaimed Stephan aloud. The deaths were always the worst part of the job. They gave him nightmares at night.
How long? asked the dragon.
One minute 'til they contact us. Our timing is perfect on this. It looks like this one is going to cause major problems.
No doubt. I can sense human anger and frustration stretching for at least three miles, and the incident couldn't have happened more than three minutes ago.
Okay. The contact is almost ready. Just one moment…
A green light appeared on his headgear.
"Thank you, Dave. We just came on the scene of an injury-accident on east bound I-94 near Woodward, and traffic is backing up already at least to Livernois, with gawkers causing a slowdown in the west bound lane. I can see police and EMS on their way to the scene. You might want to look for an alternate route on this one. Also, we have the regular construction slowdown on I-75 at I-696. The morning rush is otherwise quiet, with traffic moving at posted speeds elsewhere. And this is Stephan Hudson on the dragon Rosefire with the WWJ traffic report."
Stephan sighed and turned off his comm. Something about his job made him feel dirty. Down below was pain and suffering, and here he was, announcing it over the radio so that Joe and Mary Business-person could get to work 10 minutes earlier.
"Is there anything else we can do here?" asked Stephan, voicing his question rather than thinking it, as he often did right after a broadcast.
No, Stephan. Shall we move on? The automobile fumes smell like dragon flatulence here.
"Yeah, go ahead. Back to the regular routine." Stephan bit back his frustration as the dragon beat her beautiful wings, leaving the traffic far below her.
Two hours later Rosefire glided into the ranch that they called home. Stephan dismounted and removed the saddle, and Rosefire tottered off to her horde beneath the straw roof of her open stable. While the horde was breathtaking from a distance, Stephan knew that it was mostly composed of costume jewelry, polished brass, colored bottles, and other pretty but largely worthless shineys. Even though there might be some decent loot in there, no human would dare to try to steal from it. Very few human laws applied to dragon behavior, and for any human to attempt to steal from a dragon's horde… Suffice it to say that no one in history has ever successfully gotten away with it for long, and human law very much looked the other way at whatever the dragon chose to do with the transgressor. No humans were stupid enough to make the attempt.
Stephan looked at his dragon. Since he was bonded with it when he was ten, Rosefire had grown from a tiny hatchling to a strong, magnificent beast. The dragon was a fiery red color with streaks of white, and its neck stretched to nearly twice the tall man's height. In his eyes, Rosefire was one of the most magnificent dragons he had ever seen. Of course, he was somewhat prejudice because of the bonding, but still…
"This job is beneath your dignity, Rosa," he said, voicing a thought that was simmering in the back of his mind.
The dragon turned to look at him and smiled, in as much as a dragon can smile. You feel so, do you? Dignity is a human thing. I exist and do as I do. Perhaps it is YOUR dignity you speak of?
Stephan shook his head. "No, Rosa. This job is all I'm good for. Look at you though. You should be fighting wars, rescuing damsels…I don't know. Something! Something better than being a traffic dragon."
I find it odd how humans are capable of equating fighting wars with 'dignity'. No dragon will participate in a human war, and we only fight when we must. As for rescuing humans, that is your choice, Stephan. There are always positions for emergency rescue dragons. But I could only get you to the scene. You would have to be the one to do the work. And you are not…fond of the sight of blood.
Stephan cringed. He could not watch Rosefire eat. Dragons liked their food fresh and alive. The ranch had sheep and cattle and pigs for this very purpose. Rosefire ate while Stephan slept out of respect for him. Stephan felt a surge of inadequacy rise up in him. He didn't deserve a dragon.
"I don't know, Rosa. We have to come up with something better than this. You are being wasted."
What did you have in mind, Stephan? I am open to new ideas. I am content with what we do. It earns money and keeps me with plenty of meat. I miss hunting, true, but that is something I can do when we vacation, and that is adequate.
"Then I'm going to have to rise to your potential, Rosa."
Rosefire nodded. Very well, but it is your potential you must find, Stephan. I am who I am, and feel no desire to be more. I will try to help you think of something though, my friend.
"I can't believe we're doing this."
Roger sighed and made a slight adjustment on the instrument he was working on. "And I can't believe how many times you can repeat the same damned statement of disbelief. Just shut up and get the job done, Bill."
"This is ground-breaking fucking work, you know that, Rog?" replied Bill, ignoring Roger's previous statement, angrily shoving a print-out to the floor and consulting another one. "This is work worthy of Nobel prizes. But will we get prizes? No! Why? Because the assignment is fucking moronic!"
"We got our prize already with the monkeys," grumbled Roger. "Any progress with the neural rewiring yet?"
"The monkeys were a cakewalk compared to this. The problem is that the neurons will take so much rewiring that I don't think the god-damned thing will still be classifiable as a frog any more."
"Just do the best you can."
"Look at this fucking thing!" shouted Bill in frustration, shaking a piece of paper in the air in such a way as if he expected Roger to jump from his seat and look at it in interest. Roger did not even glance in his direction. "It's a fucking frog! It's eyes are nearly useless for what we need. They can't see a fucking thing unless it moves!"
Roger groaned.
"Did you know that if you buried a frog up to its ass in dead flies that the damn thing would starve to death? Dead flies don't move. Frogs like to eat things that move and fly. Fly, Roger! That's why frogs like flies Roger!"
"I know Bill."
"But you know what, Roger? Human food is usually dead when they eat it. It doesn't walk. It doesn't run. And it most especially doesn't fly, unless you happen be in a fucking middle school cafeteria."
"Yes, Bill. Please…."
"And you know what else doesn't fly, Roger? Pizza doesn't fly. Therefore, frogs have no interest in pizza. It's why you don't see frog infestations at Italian restaurants."
"I know Bill. But the lady is paying us very well, so we should just do the job and shut up about it. She wants a frog that likes pizza. Forget the eyes. How about smell?"
"Yeah, frogs can smell. They use their sense of smell to find other frogs. Now, if the lady wanted a frog that would MATE with a pizza, that would be a lot easier. But sex is different than food…"
"Truly words of wisdom, Bill. Can you cross wire…"
"…Yes I can try to cross wire, but figuring out what the hell will come out when we engineer the gene is hard to predict. If we're not careful we might get a frog that tries to eat other frogs and wants to mate with flies."
"Look, just make it happen. We promise to genetically engineer any pet that the patron is willing to pay for. We got the flying monkeys, and we won a Nobel prize. We're getting paid to make a frog that likes pizza. It's possible, we're going to do it. This is our job. Now quit bitching and just fucking make it happen!"
Bill grumbled, but said nothing in response. Roger closed his eyes at the sudden blissful silence.
Blissful, but, alas, short-lived.
"And did this lady wonder for even a second about just how the fuck the frog is supposed to eat the fucking pizza? That tongue ain't going to accomplish shit unless we cut the pizza into crumbs. We sure as hell can't get those damned legs to hold a slice. Frogs don't have opposible thumbs…did you know that? And then there's the fact that frogs can neither bite nor chew their fucking food. Their teeth would come in very handy though if the damned pizza tries to get away."
"We'll just explain to the woman that the pizza will have to be pre-cut."
"Also explain to her that pizza would best be petrified, 'cause I don't know how else the damned tongue is going to pull one of those greasy things into his mouth."
Roger slammed his hands on the keyboard. The table rattled, and several petri dishes almost bounced onto the floor.
"Okay Bill. Your call. We can tell the lady it can't be done, and turn down one of the most lucrative contracts we've ever been offered in addition to spoiling our near perfect reputation. Or we can try to give her the best damned pizza loving frog that we can engineer. Either pick one or the other, but either way, stop whining about it! Please."
Bill looked thoughtfully at Roger, a rather blank look on his face. He stared almost a full minute before he responded.
"Okay, we'll make the damned frog."
"Thank you. Good."
Bill grimaced and went quietly back to his work. They worked silently side by side for a long time.
"Those monkeys were something else, weren't they?" said Bill, interrupting the silence.
"Yeah, they sure were. Too bad they're banned almost everywhere because they like to dive bomb people and throw monkey poo on them."
"Yeah, well, what do you expect from a flying monkey?"
"Yeah. You get what you pay for."

Fuel-cell for portable consumer electronics
Toshiba just launched the first Dynario fuel-cell for portable consumer electronics. That's right, the long promised and highly anticipated direct methanol fuel-cell (DMFC) with dedicated fuel cartridge for on-the-go refueling will go on sale October 29th in Japan for ¥29,800 (about $328) plus another ¥3,150 (about $34) for a set of five, 50ml fuel cartridges. Dynario's hybrid structure uses a lithium-ion battery to store enough electricity to charge two typical cellphones. That works out to be about $1 per recharge.

Weird material? Dodgy surface alteration? Crude carvings? Too plain looking? Poor condition? Resembles excavated piece?
As collectors filter through tons of pieces claiming to be Chinese Archaic Jade relics, it is advisable to add one more criterion and avoid what I call difficult collectibles. 很难说, 不太开门.
I would not classify these jade pieces as fakes or modern reproductions immediately, but it is simply too tricky. Essentially, I am trying to reduce the potential controversy in future if I wish to seek a second opinion on acquired jade pieces. In the absence of reliable provenance, exquisite carvings, workmanship and correct nephrite material would certainly help a great deal. If there are too many questions, it might not be worth collecting.

Meet the Nkisi N'kondi nail figures from the lower Zaire River region (Kongo). These 19th century figures, studded with nails, are used by Kongo individuals who are looking for justice, for solutions to particular problems, or for protection against malevolent forces. By promising something to the figure a client ensures the assistance of the supernatural forces controlling the image. After making such an oath the client hammers a nail or blade into the wood to represent the agreement they have made. Magical material lodged behind the mirrors in the abdomens or on the heads of the figures attracts spirits and power to the figures. Special practitioners are responsible for interpreting the decisions of the images or directing their magic to achieve the desired ends.

Drip and ship? Should all patients with thrombolysed STEMIs have early inpatient angiography?27 February 2009
BCS Editorial
By: Paul Williams
Northwest Deanery
The question of how to best manage STEMI patients after thrombolysis has been constantly in debate throughout my cardiology training. When I worked in Australasia several years ago primary PCI was widely available for STEMI patients, but when patients received thrombolysis they usually underwent inpatient angiography, and intervention when necessary, prior to discharge. On my return to the UK in 2003 I found that standard practice was far more conservative. Most ACS patients at that time were discharged after a few days in hospital without angiography, and often without any form of ischaemia testing. Although there was a generally accepted need to improve access to angiography for NSTEMI patients, there seemed to be widespread reluctance to consider referring thrombolysed STEMI patients for inpatient angiography. The usual sequence of investigation for these patients was an outpatient exercise test, followed by diagnostic angiography if positive and then a referral for intervention if deemed necessary. This process often took many months and patients often re-presented with further cardiac events or were limited by significant angina. If inpatient angiography was performed, the decision was often based on a series of nebulous subjective criteria: age, medical co-morbidities, presence or absence of Q waves on the ECG, the size and location (anterior vs. inferior) of the infarct. The main reasons cited for a conservative approach to STEMI patients were a perceived lack of evidence from clinical trials supporting routine invasive therapy, and that guidelines issued by professional bodies did not endorse this approach. However the results of several studies published in the last few years have been in favour of early invasive therapy and suggest that routine angiography should be considered the treatment of choice in thrombolysed STEMI patients. The recently completed CARESS-in-AMI and TRANSFER-AMI trials make the argument even more compelling.
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the "gold-standard" treatment for STEMI patients as long as it can be performed within an acceptable time-frame,[1] and attempts to improve results with facilitated PCI using upfront pharmacological therapy (either thrombolytics, glycoprotein inhibitors or a combination of the two) have been unsuccessful.[2, 3] However, when timely primary PCI is not an option, thrombolysis remains the treatment of choice and is still the most common form of reperfusion therapy in the UK. We know from large clinical trials that thrombolysis is an imperfect treatment for an STEMI as it results in TIMI 3 coronary flow in the culprit artery in only 60% of patients, and there are high rates of both subsequent angina and admissions with recurrent ischaemia and infarction. If thrombolysis is unsuccessful it is generally accepted that immediate rescue PCI is beneficial.[4] However, if thrombolysis is deemed to be successful initially, can clinical outcomes be improved further with early routine angiography with a view to mechanical intervention?
Early trials looking at this question were not promising. The TIMI-2 and SWIFT trials in the early 1990s failed to show a benefit from routine angiography following thrombolysis but did show an excess of bleeding complications.[5, 6] However these trials were performed prior to the widespread use of stents, clopidogrel and glycoprotein receptor antagonists. More recent studies have painted a different picture. Four randomised controlled trials from the stent era of PCI were published between 2003 and 2005: SIAM-III, GRACIA-1, CAPITAL-AMI, and LPLS.[7-10] The first three studies showed significant reductions in their primary endpoints of combined death, MI and recurrent ischaemia and the LPLS study showed a reduction in infarct size at 6 months as assessed by MRI. These trials only had limited use of rescue PCI in the standard-care groups, which has subsequently become routine practice in many centres, and this may have exaggerated the benefit of routine PCI. Nonetheless, on the basis of this evidence the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) issued guidelines in 2005 which recommended routine coronary angiography within 24 hours and PCI, if applicable, in patients after successful thrombolysis.[11]
Two further trials have subsequently been completed. The CARESS-in-AMI trial was published last year in the Lancet.[12] This trial randomised high-risk STEMI patients presenting to a non-interventional centre, and treated with thrombolysis using a half-dose lytic and half-dose glycoprotein receptor antagonist regime, to either transfer for immediate angiography or usual care at their presenting hospital. All patients in the conservative arm who did not reperfuse by ECG criteria were treated by rescue PCI. The primary outcome of combined death, reinfarction or refractory ischaemia at 30 days was significantly lower in the immediate PCI group (4.4%) as compared with the standard care group (10.7%). Hospital stay was also significantly shorter in the immediate PCI arm. Despite the positive results, two criticisms of this trial were the unusual choice of thrombolytic regimen (although a combined regime was shown to be non-inferior to a standard thrombolytic regime in the GUSTO V trial in patients under the age of 75[13]), and that clopidogrel was not routinely given in the conservative arm, as is now considered best practice.
The results of the eagerly awaited TRANSFER-AMI study were presented at the ACC scientific meeting in 2008.[14] 1060 STEMI patients receiving a "gold-standard" thrombolytic regime of tenecteplase, aspirin, clopidogrel and heparin at a non-PCI hospital were randomised to either immediate transfer to a PCI centre for angiography (within 6 hours) or a "wait and see" approach. All patients in the conservative arm received rescue PCI if thrombolysis was deemed unsuccessful. The rate of inpatient PCI in the conservative arm was high at 62%, but was lower than the 84% rate in the immediate PCI arm. At 30 days, the combined primary end-point of death, repeat MI, heart failure, recurrent ischaemia and shock was reduced by 41% from 16.6% in the conservative group to 10.6% in the invasive group (p=0.0013). Six month data was recently presented at the 2008 Canadian Cardiovascular Congress showing a persistent benefit in the invasive group.
The timing of angiography following thrombolysis is a key factor in these trials. The concept of 'facilitated PCI' usually refers to administration of pharmacological agents such as thrombolytics or glycoprotein antagonists followed by immediate transfer for PCI as soon as is feasible ie. facilitated primary PCI. Very early PCI in this setting has been shown to be hazardous in FINESSE and ASSENT-4, two large trials which compared facilitated PCI with primary PCI, as a result of an increased risk of bleeding complications and a prothrombotic milieu immediately following thrombolysis.[2, 3] Neither CARESS or TRANSFER-AMI are trials of facilitated PCI according to this definition, as they investigate the best treatment strategy assuming timely primary PCI is not available and that thrombolysis has been given. As a result the timing between thrombolysis and subsequent PCI was substantially longer in these trials than in ASSENT-4 and FINESSE. The risk:benefit ratio with thrombolysed patients is therefore between waiting long enough for the risks of very early PCI to reduce somewhat, but not long enough that the risk of reocclusion and reinfarction is increased significantly. The ESC has recently issued guidelines on the management of STEMI patients which again recommend angiography for all patients who have undergone successful thrombolysis (and rescue PCI for those patients who fail thrombolysis).[15] In these guidelines, angiography is recommended within 3-24 hours of thrombolysis.
Of course, this whole issue may become less relevant given that the final National Infarct Angioplasty Project (NIAP) report recommends primary PCI as the standard of care in the UK (http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publicationsandstatistics/Publications/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance/DH_089455) and it should be stressed that no approach to STEMI management which involves thrombolytic agents has ever been shown to more effective than primary PCI. However, as it will be logistically impossible to deliver primary PCI to all of the UK population within an acceptable timeframe (the NIAP report estimates that 3% of the population would currently be ineligible), thrombolytics will continue to be administered for many years to come. The NIAP report concurs with the ESC guidelines in recommending routine coronary angiography if thrombolysis is given.
In summary, the evidence base suggests inpatient angiography represents the best management for the majority of thrombolysed STEMI patients. This should be performed as an emergency if thrombolysis is unsuccessful (rescue PCI) and ideally within 24 hours if successful ('drip and ship'). This approach is backed up by recent guidelines issued by the ESC and the final NIAP report and is likely to be cost-effective given the shorter duration of hospital stay and the fact that most patients receiving conservative therapy will end up in the catheter lab at a later date anyway.

Wedding tablecloths are constructed by choosing fabric, cutting it to meet the measurements of the tables, and sewing the end seams for a ripple or flowing effect. Begin by measuring the tables, round or rectangular, to ensure you have enough fabric. Most round tables are 48 inches, so a 108-inch piece of fabric will cover the area.
Choose a color or pattern of fabric that matches your wedding colors to complement the occasion and decor of the reception hall. Mark the fabric to the measurements of the table with a fabric pen, allowing room for the cloth to hang slightly over the table, or longer if desired, and cut along the markings. Once cut, mark the ends of the fabric 1/2 inch to create a hem. Fold the fabric to the 1/2 inch mark on the underside to begin hemming.
Using a sewing machine or needle and thread, secure the hem on the outer edges of the material. It is also possible to use fabric glue to secure the hem. An additional color or pattern of fabric can also be used to fold over the cloth as a hem. Before placing the tablecloth on the table, iron the edges to create a crisp and professional look.

Publisher's Description▼▲
When did we start believing that God wants to send us to safe places to do easy things? Jesus didnt die to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous. The will of God is not an insurance plan; its a daring plan. Its time to quit living as if the purpose of your life is to arrive safely at death.
All In, a four-session video-based Bible study by New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson, challenges participants to resolutely follow God wherever he leads by pointing out that if Jesus is not Lord of all, he is not Lord at all.
Most people think they are following Jesus. They may think they are following Jesus, but the reality is, theyve invited Jesus to follow them. They call him Savior, but theyve never surrendered to him as Lord. Are you following Jesus? Or have you invited Jesus to follow you?
Participants will find Battersons teaching filled with his customary vivid, contemporary stories as well as biblical characters like Shamgar, Elisha, Jonathan, and Judas. Its time to go all in for God.
Sessions include:
- Now or Never: Pack Your Coffin (19:00)
- All In: Charge! (20:00)
- All Out: Rim Huggers (24:00)
- All in All: Burn the Ships (18:00)
This pack contains one study guide and one DVD.

The 5 Best NFL Offenses Through Week 5
With nearly one-third of the NFL regular season in the books, the league's 32 offenses have begun to settle into separate tiers.
While some key playmakers such as Andrew Luck and Peyton Manning have found themselves struggling early this season -- which in turn has caused their respective offenses to suffer in result -- other teams have seen some unexpected names rise to the occasion and drive their teams near the top of the standings.
So which teams have enjoyed the most success over the first five weeks of the year to fall into the elite tier of the NFL according to our Net Expected Points (NEP) metrics?

Quilted paisley jacket / blouson: Miss Selfridge
Sun And Moon top: Truly Madly Deeply (you can get it at Urban Outfitters)
Mesh spike leggings: eBay
Necklace: H&M
You all know I'm a huge fan of Truly Madly Deeply shirts and their designs, they are incredible! This one is definitely one of the best tops, I always love the boho / mystic influence. Moons and suns - it can't get any better, those prints are the perfect essential for bohemian looks. I combined the shirt with my really really cozy (it doesn't look like that, but the quilted material makes it really warm!) quilted paisley jacket I got from the last season's sale on MissSelfridge.com. It was a true bargain, I remember. 75%off! It looks like a vintage piece and it's perfect for wanderlust/hippy minded autumn days.
And what's new? You can follow my blog now on Bloglovin! *click here*

Landlords sitting on £514m of unprotected deposits
According to a new report from the Cebr (Centre for Economics and Business Research) 284,000 landlords have failed to protect deposits, despite it being a legal requirement for landlords to protect deposits in one of the government approved schemes. Landlords who fail to protect their tenants' deposits run the risk of a £2,400 penalty. Deposit protection schemes were introduced to stop landlords unfairly taking money out of deposits for things such as wear and tear or pre-existing damage when tenants move on and to provide dispute resolution should it be required. However, compliance with these rules are not being monitored effectively and the onus to report and take action against the landlord lies with the tenant.

After 30 years, we are still deeply rooted in human values and sustainability.
In 1983, Rob Harris launched PMI with a modest investment of $1,200 and a curiosity about international trade. With degrees in psychology, business, and education under his belt, the entrepreneurial path seemed like an obvious fit. For the first few years, PMI imported a number of different products and designed and styled products for the sports and recreation markets. Eventually, Rob expanded the business into food and beverage containers.
In 1994, PMI joined forces with Eddie Bauer to create one of the first lines of stainless steel insulated mugs. At the same time, Starbucks Coffee Company was responding to the increased pace of their customer's lives, so they partnered with PMI to create beverage containers for patrons on the go.
In 1999, PMI launched Migo, its first private label brand. We now develop product for MiGo from our Shanghai office, specifically for the unique needs of the Chinese market.
In 2001, PMI opens an office in Shanghai to provide sales, engineering and manufacturing support. The business has grown into including product management, marketing and design. The MiGo brand is developed in the Shanghai office for the health-minded Chinese consumer.
In 2002, PMI purchased the Stanley & Aladdin brands. Stanley began on September 2, 1913, and was started by William Stanley. He developed the first all steel vacuum bottle and revolutionized the way people were able to enjoy hot beverages on the go. Aladdin was started in 1908 by Victor Samuel Johnson Sr, making oil lamps, and in 1917 shifted into creating food and beverage carrying products for women and their families.
In 2005, environmental targets such as environmental certifications of our factories and sustainable waste management were added to PMI's already robust work in Code of Conduct. We were also awarded "Best Places to Work" by Seattle Magazine!
Corporate Social Responsibility has an integral part of PMI's business since we opened our doors in 1983 and in 2006, PMI was honored to receive the American Chamber of Commerce Award in Shanghai for our commitment to and advancements in CSR.
In 2008 we launched our proprietary mix of recycled & recyclable plastic. It is 100% recycled food grade polypropylene containing 25% post consumer content and is recyclable where #5 plastic is collected.
In order to provide global retailer and consumer support, we opened up our Manila office in 2009.
In 2009, PMI was awarded two great distinctions - "Best Places to Work" by Outside Magazine and "Best Companies to Work for in Seattle" by Seattle Metropolitan Magazine.
In 2010 PMI partnered with Joshua Green Corporation to support rapid growth of its global consumer products. It was also a banner year, breaking the $100 million mark in sales and opening an office in Amsterdam.
In 2011, we were honored to be awarded the Corporate Champion Award by the Puget Sound Business Journal for our contributions to the environment.
In 2013, Stanley celebrated its 100th anniversary, while PMI turned 30. We were also awarded "Best Places to Work" by Outside Magazine, for the 3rd time! What a Year!
In 2014, PMI acquired the business of Agostini headquartered in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Since 1938 business of Agostini has been to manufacture and distribute Aladdin thermal bottles and related food and beverage items to market in South America. This acquisition expands PMI into the critically important South American market.
In 2016, PMI acquired the business of Formation Brands headquarted in San Francisco, California. Formed in 1994 by Mark Towery and Leslie Miller, Formation develops and markets trend-forward, everyday beverage and specialty gift housewares including tableware, barware and accessories to national and independent retailers. This acquisition further diversifies PMI's product line and customer base.

But, not surprisingly, you have to buy a new system to get it (via Bink.nu):
Apple has quietly launched an offer to give Mac buyers money off Microsoft software.
The 'Office Bonus' offer, which runs until the end of January next year, gives shoppers 50 per cent off Microsoft Office for Mac when they buy a new Apple desktop or laptop.
Apple is seemingly hoping to cash in on the 'iPod halo' effect — where new buyers of Apple's signature music player then go on to buy more Apple kit. Analysts believe that more than one million Windows users may have made the switch to Mac this year, mostly driven by this halo effect.
And a cheaper Windows Office for the Mac might help them make the jump. This article is from the UK, but I checked and the offer is also available at the online USA Apple store on all "new or Apple certified refurbished Apple computers." Presumably it is available worldwide.

The stalker who has been terrorising Kendall Jenner has been told he must stay at least 100 yards away from the model and reality TV star for the next five years.
A judge in Los Angeles has granted her a permanent restraining order against Shavaughn MCKenzie, after he was booked for stalking in August (16).
He was arrested after showing up in the driveway of Kendall's Hollywood Hills home, and allegedly followed her through her gate.
The model was in court to face her stalker on Thursday (13Oct16), when she took the stand and told the judge, "I've never been so scared in my life."
Kendall testified as a key witness in the criminal case against MCKenzie, who faces one count of misdemeanour stalking and trespassing.
Looking a little shaken, Kendall revealed she found the stalker sitting outside her home on 14 August (16) and had to drive around him to get access to her gate. She watched the gate close behind her and then saw Shavaughn had walked onto her property in her mirror, according to TMZ.
She told the court he just stared at her as she screamed "Who are you?" at him, and demanded he leave the premises.
Kendall then exited the property in her car and drove down the street to call a friend, who advised her to contact the police.
