How do tectonic plates 'drift' on the Earth's surface?
The heat in the rock below the crust sets up convection movements.
1 of 57
Name the layers of the Earth starting from the outside.
The crust, mantle, outer core and inner core.
2 of 57
State the names of the four different types of plate boundaries.
Constructive, destructive, collision and conservative/transform.
3 of 57
What happens at a constructive plate boundary?
The plates are moving apart allowing molten rocks from the mantle to come up, spread out and harden which forms a ridge of new rock.
4 of 57
What tectonic hazards can occur at a constructive plate boundary and how?
Earthquakes, the movement of the plates and tension causes faults to appear. Volcanoes, molten material wells up sometimes creating volcanic islands.
5 of 57
What happens at a destructive plate margin?
One plate slides beneath another as they collide. The bottom plate crumples, creating new mountains.
6 of 57
What tectonic hazards can occur at a destructive plate margin and how?
Earthquakes, pressure builds between the two plates when friction stops them from moving which often ends with them suddenly jerking causing an earthquake. Volcanoes, molten rock is released as the lower plate gets pushed down which forms a volcano.
7 of 57
What happens at a collision plate margin?
Two plates collide and are crushed against each other which pushes them upwards forming new mountains.
8 of 57
What tectonic hazard can occur at a collision plate margin and how?
Earthquakes, as pressure builds up between the two plates.
9 of 57
What happens at a conservative/transform plate margin?
Plates slide past each other (A fault line can normally be seen on the Earth's surface)
10 of 57
What tectonic hazard can occur at a conservative/transform plate margin and how?
Earthquakes, the plates may become stuck and pressure builds up until the plates move with a jerk causing earthquakes.
11 of 57
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
On the plate boundaries (most of the time)
12 of 57
What can happen if an earthquake occurs under the sea?
They can cause massive tidal waves called a tsunami which can devastate coastal areas.
13 of 57
What is the point where the earthquake starts below the Earth's surface called?
The focus or hypocentre.
14 of 57
What is the point directly above the focus on the Earth's surface called?
The epicentre.
15 of 57
What are the primary effects of an earthquake?
The ground shaking, buildings collapsing, cracks appearing in the ground, pipes getting broken, power supplies getting disrupted and water pipes getting broken.
16 of 57
What are the secondary effects of an earthquake?
Aftershocks, landslides, tsunamis and outbreaks of disease due to disrution of water and medical supplies.
17 of 57
What is the magnitude of an earthquake recorded by?
A seismometer.
18 of 57
How does the Richter scale measure the power of earthquakes?
It measures the height of the shock waves and then giving it a number on a scale of 1-10 depending on power. Each point on the Richter scale is ten times more powerful than the one bellow.
19 of 57
How does the Mercalli scale measure the strength of an earthquake?
It measures the earthquakes strength by it's observed effects on the buildings (1-12)
20 of 57
What can effect the impact of an earthquake?
The magnitude of the quake, the density of the population, where the earthquake happens and how prepared the country is to deal with an earthquake.
21 of 57
Why are the impacts of earthquakes often worse in LEDCs than MEDCs?
LEDCs may require aid to deal with the effects which takes time to arrive, lack of medical supplies and services, roads are poorly maintained, communications are poor, housing is not earthquake proof, people are not prepared and spread of disease.
22 of 57
What precautions can people take against earthquakes?
Prepare an emergency pack, know where is suitable to take cover in the event of an earthquake, turn off gas water and electricity and after the earthquake move to a safe place.
23 of 57
What precautions can authorities take against earthquakes?
Monitor the hazard so people can be warned, have emergency supplies ready, make plans for shelter, food and water supplies, plan to broadcast information for people effected.
24 of 57
What long-term planning can be done to try and minimise the effect of earthquakes?
Ensure road and rail communications are built, ensure all new buildings are earthquake proof and educate people on what to do in the event of an earthquake.
25 of 57
Why do people live in earthquake zones?
The climatic conditions may be suitable, family ties with the area, economic conditions and there may be more space available.
26 of 57
Where are most volcanoes found?
On plate boundaries.
27 of 57
What are the three types of volcanoes?
Composite volcano, shield volcano and dome volcano.
28 of 57
What are the two types of volcanoes where they erupt explosively and violently?
Composite volcanoes and dome volcanoes.
29 of 57
What type of volcano erupts gently but is still dangerous?
Shield volcanoes.
30 of 57
What is the definition of an active volcano?
A volcano that has erupted recently and is likely to erupt again.
31 of 57
What is the definition of a dormant volcano?
A volcano which has not erupted in a long time but it may erupt again.
32 of 57
What are volcanic bombs?
Pieces of rock that are thrown into the air by a violent volcano.
33 of 57
What is a pyroclastic flow?
A pyroclastic flow is a fast moving current of hot gas and rock.
34 of 57
How do mud flows (lahars) form?
They form when hot ash melts snow and ice or falls into rivers often due to rainfall.
35 of 57
What are the primary effects of a volcanic eruption?
Volcanic blasts, lava flows, ashfalls, pyroclastic flows and earthquakes.
36 of 57
What are the secondary effects of a volcanic eruption?
Lahars, landslides, sulfur dioxide being emitted and acid rain.
37 of 57
What is the impact of a volcanic eruption dependent on?
The violence of the eruption, the density of the population near the volcano, how well the eruption has been predicted and how well prepared the people that near the volcano are.
38 of 57
What can scientist use to help predict when a volcano is going to erupt?
the frequency of earth tremors, the movement of the magma can be measured using gravity measurements, ground temperature and the emissions of gas (sulfur dioxide).
39 of 57
How can mapping help save people's lives?
They can look where old lava and lahars were and decide which areas are most and least at risk.
40 of 57
Why do people live near volcanoes?
There is often rich fertile soil perfect for farming around volcanoes, there are lots of jobs in the tourism industry, geothermal energy can be harnessed and rocks from the volcanoes are rich in minerals and can be mined.
41 of 57
Where are tropical storms formed?
Tropical storms often form between the tropics of Cancer and tropics of Capricorn. They form above sea warmer than 27 degrees.
42 of 57
How are tropical storms formed?
Warm, damp air spirals upwards towards the top of the hurricane, as the air rises it cools forming clouds and producing torrential rain.
43 of 57
What is the calmest part of a tropical storm?
The eye of the storm.
44 of 57
Why do people live in known tropical storm areas?
Because it was where they were born and have lived all their lives, good farm land, coastal ports for trade and fishing and attractive beach areas which attract tourists and creates jobs.
45 of 57
What are the primary effects of a tropical storm?
The wind causes high spread damage to buildings and crops, rain causes widespread flooding and storm surges occur which also causes flooding.
46 of 57
What are the secondary effects of a tropical storm?
Damage to property, widespread dislocation of roads, railways and power lines, landslides, mudslides and disruption of medical and water supplies causing disease.
47 of 57
How is the intensity of tropical storms measured?
They are measured on a scale of 1-5 known as the saffir-simpson hurricane scale.
48 of 57
When does a storm become a hurricane?
When their average wind speed reaches 119 kilometres per hour.
49 of 57
How can people be protected from tropical storms?
Prediction, close monitoring and predicting where it's path will be, planning, plan warning systems and evacuation routes, education, teaching children how to stay safe during a tropical storm and building regulations.
50 of 57
What is a drought?
A prolonged period without enough precipitation to support people or crops.
51 of 57
What causes a drought?
A drought can happen due to a shift in the expected weather patterns on a global scale which causes seasonal rainfall to fail.
52 of 57
What is desertification?
Desertification is when fertile land becomes more like a desert meaning that vegetation can no longer grow there.
53 of 57
What are the primary effects of a drought?
There is insufficient water for people animals and crops.
54 of 57
What are the secondary effects of a drought?
Livestock begin to die due to no water, grater pressure is put on available grazing and woodland, farmers crops begin to fail, rivers dry up and increased risk of wildfires.
55 of 57
Why do droughts usually have less of an impact in MEDCs than LEDCs?
Because MEDCs have the resources to build water transport systems, peoples livelihoods and food supply doesn't depend on a certain amount of rainfall and MEDCs can provide sustainable responses to a drought.
56 of 57
What do desalination plants do?
They turn sea water into drinking water.

The European Defence Agency (EDA) and the European Commission today launched the second phase of the Consultation Forum for Sustainable Energy in the Defence and Security Sector. The Consultation Forum aims to examine how energy efficiency measures, renewable energy sources and technologies, and protection of critical energy infrastructure considerations apply to the European defence sector.
This second phase will see the initiative move towards the identification of bottlenecks preventing the sector from fully benefiting from sustainable energy. This will help the work move towards more concrete implementation, in view of seizing the economic benefits presented by the transition to clean energy.
"The second phase of the Consultation Forum presents the defence sector with a fresh opportunity to collaborate with the European Commission on energy efficiency, renewable energy, and the protection of critical energy infrastructure. Energy security is a key priority for European armed forces, and by acting together, we can improve the resilience of military activities at home and on missions, as well as reduce cost and operational risks, while contributing to the broader objectives of the Energy Union. We must now capitalize on this initiative and deliver real benefits through the initiation of defence energy projects", said EDA Chief Executive Jorge Domecq.
"All strands of our energy policy, whether it is energy efficiency or renewables, security of supply or interconnections, have an impact on European defence. While energy efficiency and renewable energy policies were almost not known in the defence and security sector, the Consultation Forum has been key in changing the approach and revealing the significant potential. I am therefore very pleased that the Consultation Forum is entering its second phase which will enable us to explore further how this initiative could be both turned into concrete improvements in the ways which the defence and security sector uses energy and transformed into a real economic opportunity", Dominique Ristori, Director-General Energy, said.
The first phase of the work brought together a majority of Member States' Ministries of Defence alongside NATO, the NATO Energy Security Centre of Excellence, industry and academia, and led to the creation of a European Defence Energy Network (EDEN) with over 100 members. Plenary meetings of the Consultation Forum were held in Brussels (January 2016), Dublin (June 2016), Rome (November 2016), Lisbon (May 2017), and Thessaloniki (September 2017), looking at the challenges and opportunities of moving to a sustainable energy future in the defence sector, including the implications of relevant EU energy legislation for defence.
The second phase of the Consultation Forum will focus on the identification of bottlenecks preventing the sector from fully reaping the benefits of sustainable energy. The aim is to work towards more concrete implementation, and to identify the tools and opportunities that will transform the knowledge developed to date into tangible defence sector energy projects. Work will be conducted by three parallel working groups covering: (1) Energy Efficiency including Energy Management (2), Renewable Energy Sources, and (3) Protection of Critical Energy Infrastructure (PCEI), with finance as a cross-cutting theme. This initiative is a Coordination and Support Action which received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant Agreement No 789231.
Further information can be found on EDA's European Defence Energy Network (EDEN) webpage.
The Consultation Forum for Sustainable Energy in the Defence and Security Sector is a European Commission initiative managed by the EDA, the first initiative of its kind for these institutions. It brings together experts from the defence and energy sectors to share information and best practices on improving energy management, energy efficiency, and the use of renewable energy.
The first phase of the Consultation Forum was announced on 20 October 2015 for a period of 24 months. The work was carried out in three parallel working groups: (1) Energy Management, (2) Energy Efficiency, and (3) Renewable Energy Sources. An Experts Group on Protection of Critical Energy Infrastructure (PCEI) developed a PCEI Conceptual Paper.

*Synced from Seattle and Real Estate Blog
People who own property between Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park in Renton and Newcastle Beach Park near Bellevue have filed suit against Puget Sound Energy over the placement of a stretch of the proposed 18-mile long high-capacity power lines between Renton and Redmond that are part of PSE's Energize Eastside project, according to an article in The Seattle Times.
Their lawsuit stems from PSE's suggested plan of installing power lines on parcels of land on Lake Washington that were originally intended for BNSF Railway use, and later sold to the Port of Seattle after the railroad plan was abandoned. The 74 property owners filing suit contend that the Port only had rights to the corridor's ground surface, but sold the aerial and subsurface rights to PSE as well. The land owners, along with many other Eastside residents, are hoping to preserve the land as a pedestrian and bike trail, and say installing the power lines would require clearing vegetation and would obstruct shoreline views from the trail.
PSE is considering several alternative routes for the power lines, which are being installed to service the Eastside's growing population, and the property owner group is encouraging the utility to choose one that doesn't disrupt plans for the lakeside pedestrian park. PSE will not be applying for permits for the power lines until early 2015, and have said they are dedicating 2014 to gathering public input on the project.

In order to qualify, students must meet the following criteria:
Application requirements for the Illinois Veteran Grant (IVG) Program are:
Award Amount:
This program pays eligible tuition and mandatory fees. Mandatory fees are those assessed by a college to every full-time student for each term. Examples include fees for activities, facility operations, grants, health, registration, technology, transportation and others. The college determines fees that are considered mandatory.
Qualified applicants may use this grant at the undergraduate or graduate level for the equivalent of four academic years of full-time enrollment, which is measured in eligibility units. With the exception of veterans who are eligible for Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits at less than 100 percent (based on length of service) and choose to use those benefits during the same term that IVG benefits are used, IVG Program eligibility units are based on the enrolled hours for a particular term, not the dollar amount of the benefits paid. Charges for non-credit courses that meet the definition of tuition and mandatory fees may be covered by IVG benefits. Eligibility units used for a no-ncredit course are the same as those assessed for a credit course having the same number of faculty contact hours.
The student should contact the financial aid office at his/her college to determine the amount of the eligible tuition and mandatory fees that will be covered by this grant.

Now that it's the summer break, I sometimes feel like I'm busier than when the kids were in school. Between driving and accompanying them to their different activities/workshops/playdates, I also have to think of ways to keep them entertained at home.
Well, here's one project that my 6 year old actually thought of. We were in National Bookstore one day buying art supplies when she pointed to these rainbow colored popsicle sticks on the shelf.
She then proceeded to look for googly eyes and when I asked her what she was going to make, she said stick characters!
Then just gather any markers, paints, or coloring materials for decorating.
I actually just left them in their room and they were busy for more than an hour. Usually, they'd call me and ask for help, but for this project, it was all them! :)
After I came in to check on them, they showed me their works of art. This is their self-portraits:
And my daughter also made these Disney Princesses characters. If you can't tell, that's Snow White, Jasmine, Aurora, and Rapunzel. :)
Meanwhile, my 5 year old son made these Marvel Superheroes. I had trouble identifying some of them (he knows his characters more than me lol), but I applaud his creativity! From the left is Spider-Man, Hulk, Black Widow, Ant-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Red Hulk (the Hulk's brother daw), and Nick Fury haha!
I just love this project since it's so easy and fun for the kids. They get to exercise their imagination with the simplest of materials. Plus after they made their characters, they spent another hour playing with them. Now that's a win in my book!

Makeover needed: Pro sports doping scandals
There was a time when sports stars were content to lean on the three traditional performance-enhancing substances; alcohol, tobacco and caffeine. With the advent of anabolic steroids, human growth hormone, and other high-tech monster-makers, though, the sanctity of our sports has been crippled. In some sports, bicycle racing in particular, the damage could be fatal.
The sport most threatened by the scandal in the U.S. is baseball, a team game that treasures measurement of individual performances. The records of Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb, were for many years considered sacred, and when Aaron, Rose and Ripkin broke them, their accomplishments were greeted with great acclaim.
Then came steroids. As players such as Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire crushed Ruth's 60-home-run mark, fans greeted their records with suspicion, and after the truth came out, resentment.
Don't miss the rest of our series on Makeovers Needed!
Internationally, the Tour De France bicycle race has suffered even worse. Even in its early years at the beginning of the 20th century riders were accused of using ether to dull pain. Since 1998, the "Tour De Shame" the controversy has worsened, and, after the recent Balco scandal revealed the depth of the problem, leader after leader has been banished during the tour, most famously (in the U.S.) by the stripping of the yellow jersey from Floyd Landis.
What can these and other sports do to combat performance-enhancing drugs and regain the public's confidence?
First, relentlessly test participants. Athletes must understand that the price of public acclaim is transparency.
Second, clean up the records. No way Mark McGwire's record should stand, when Roger Maris gets an asterisk. Several years of Bond's dingers should be deleted from the record. If Lance Armstrong is proven to have used banned substances, his jerseys should be taken away.
Third, enforce the same standards on a local level. Stories abound of high-school athletes bulking up to attract college recruiters, and I've seen all too many skinny college freshmen turn into The Hulk in 12 months. Test early, test often, and teach our youth that the same rules that apply to Terrell Owens applies to them.
Fourth, hammer on the long-term consequences of steroid abuse.
Lastly, I'd keep holding transgressors up for public humiliation. The shame of Marion Jones, Ben Johnson and Roger Clemons may be an example sufficient to dissuade many.

What keeps us interested in the animal world! By George me thinks I got it …we are animals Homo Sapiens to be scientifically correct. Enclosed is a transript of an unknown zen creature who may be smarter than you think!
A Singular Animal with or without fur… you be the judge!
A woodcutter was hard at work in the remote mountains when a strange animal appeared. He had never seen an animal like it before.
— Ah, said the animal, you have never seen anything like me before.
The woodcutter was very surprised to hear the animal speak.
— And you are astonished that I can speak…..
The woodcutter was also surprised that the beast knew his thoughts.
— And that I know what you are thinking, continued the animal.
Looking at the animal, the woodcutter wanted to catch it and take it back home.
— So, you want to catch me alive, do you?
If not that, maybe he could give it one blow with his axe and then carry it home.
— And now you want to kill me, said the animal.
The woodcutter realised that he could do nothing at all, since the beast always knew what he was thinking of doing. So, he went back to work, determined to ignore the animal.
— And now, it said, you abandon me.
Work as he might, the woodcutter found himself thinking of the animal standing there. The beast would then make an appropriate comment. He wished it would go away and was then told that he was wishing it would go away.
The animal apparently did not wish to go away. It stood there, near him, and read all of his thoughts. Nor did it seem well intentioned.
Finally, not knowing what else to do, the woodcutter resignedly took up his axe again, determined to pay no more attention to this singular animal, and began single-mindedly cutting the trees.
While he was so doing, with no thought in his head except the axe and the tree, the head of the axe flew off the handle and struck the animal dead.
From Zen Inkinlgs, by Donald Richie, an excellent book.
QUOTE: "We could say that meditation doesn't have a reason or doesn't have a purpose. In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing.
When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment."
….Alan Watts
THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW: Shedding! Your pet isn't the only one in the house with a shedding problem. Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour. That works out to about 1.5 pounds each year, so the average person will lose around 105 pounds of skin by age 70.
THINGS YOU MAY WANT TO SAVE:Animals. They have millions of years of history and are smarter than you think!
ZENTRAVELER SAYS: So you think you are an animal…maybe you are!!!!
From here to Infinity is a relatively short ride! The next leg takes eons and eons as you fly through the Barycentric Dynamical Time Zone! …and on and on and on.

Electric Forest is coming back for another year at the Double JJ Resort in Rothbury, Michigan with a lineup that puts many festivals to shame.
The Insomniac Events-produced event which will be taking place between June 27th-30th, features headliners Odesza, Kygo, Bassnectar and Zeds Dead. Supporting acts include Alison Wonderland, NGHTMRE, Tokimonsta and Ookay, along with dubstep heavyweights 12th Planet, Caspa and Ganja White Night. The most surprising appearance comes from the addition of classic R&B singer T-Pain.
Last week it came to light that Electric Forest would take place over a single weekend, whereas the previous two editions of the festival spanned out across two. The gathering's organizers cited environmental concerns as key factors that influenced the decision. "With conservation and longevity in mind, Electric Forest will be one magical weekend in 2019," read the final passage of their statement.
Loyalty On Sale tickets are available today, with General On Sale tickets following on December 7th. Find the full lineup below, and for more information visit the official festival website.

Ed Morrissey: [1]
I guess this means it's on. O'Reilly gets the worst of this exchange for not comprehending that the Geneva Conventions bind nations to standards of conduct regardless of reciprocation and for many different kinds of detainees and refugees; doesn't the man research the topic before an interview? He also lets McCain off the hook on the allegation that it makes American soldiers less safe in future wars, given the fact that we don't plan on fighting France or the Brits any time soon:
And Ed has vid of the exchange.
McCain is dead wrong on this.
What McCain is trying to do here is to reduce morality to a lawbook, and that simply cannot be done. At what point has morality ever been non-contextual? At what point has morality ever been so simple as rulebook?
What were the methods involved? Getting wet, placing panties on their heads and sleep deprivation. Well, excuse me, but in the annals of man's inhumanity to man, being beheaded, burned alive, etc, would seem to trump these. We need information to save lives. Are you suggesting these animals… and that's what they are… are going to tell us what we need t know to save lives because we're very nice to them? Perhaps you think cookies and warm milk will work better?
As an example… Let's say I come to you and say that there is a couple that hates you so much that they will kill their six month old baby so as to kill you, I am describing a level of ferocity, and a level of savagery that is beyond any possibility of recognition that they're being treated nicely, wouldn't you say?
And spare me the nonsense about questionable intelligence coming from it. In the handful of cases where the mild procedures we have used have been brought to bear, the intelligence has been solid gold. KSM, for example. Funny how McCain never brings this up.
Spare me the nonsense about how our Allies will be reluctant to join us. Our Allies in this war on terror, have been conducting more stringent and trying investigations then are we. Nobody's accused them of being 'immoral', except for the anti-war crowd who wouldn't be happy unless the US lost anyway. On that basis it seems to me that our Allies are going to be reluctant to join us not because we "torture" , but because we make the mistake of not doing so.
I've said this before, and will continue to say it until I get an answer or an admission: Spare me the delusional fear that they will torture our people, because we very occasionally torture theirs. Please explain to me in what war this country has ever fought, the Geneva conventions have been actually followed at all points. You cannot, because they have not been.
Spare me the pretenses of morality. In this situation, they mean little, because war is, in fact the absenceof morality. Morality only gets re-established once the war has been settled… and that morality gets defined exclusively by the winners. If you're going to argue from a morality standpoint and 'civilized warfare", allow me to remind you that the Brits thought we did not fight according to the laws if civilized warfare, during the Revolutionary war. They considered the American army a band of guerrillas. Should we give them their Colonies back?
Finally, allow me to remind Mr. McCain that if we'd stuck by the letters of the Geneva convention, we'd have been summarily executing terrorists, not interrogating them, and then housing and feeding them three Halal squares a day at great expense.
Survival …as a people, as well as survival as individuals… is the focus, here.
If we give that up, and we give up control of the situation, what good is any of the rest of it? If we don't win, if we don't maintain utter control of the situation, what possibility do any of those "high ideals", this morality we hold, have, to survive in the world? If we are unwilling to do what's necessary defend ourselves by whatever means, then what it comes down to is we don't deserve to survive.
Which seems rather handy, since we probably won't.
I say again: It is the winners who are the ones who get to decide what constitutes morality… and they won't pay what YOU or I consider moral, any mind whatever… as they have repeatedly demonstrated.
This argument about torture keeps falling back on the Geneva conventions, and so perhaps this aspect needs addressing:
* There are no rules in war, other than the rules dictated by the winner, afterward.
* The Geneva Convention which purports to be civilized warfare, is in fact nothing of the sort, and is not worth the paper it was written on, having repeatedly been broken in every war ever waged since it's signing. There's a reason, here; Warfare is not civil under any conditions. War is, instead, the utter lack of civility. It is therefore unrealistic to assume or demand any degree of civility in wartime.
* Those, such as McCain, who seek closer adherence to the Geneva Convention during wartime, even on moralistic ground, particularly when the enemy is overtly not adhering to said convention, are themselves immoral, given they end up costing their own side lives, by causing their own military to, in effect, fight with one hand tied behind their back. I say yet again, I include John McCain in this. That he doesn't understand this disqualifies him from holding the office of POTUS, in my opinion.
* When a people go to war, it is by definition a last resort against an immoral enemy. It's understood that war of itself is an immoral act. In going to war the line of immorality has already been crossed… but it is also understood that the greater immorality is to allow the enemy to continue it's immoral activity. It is assumed, thereby, that whatever actions are taken in pursuit of winning said war against said immoral enemy, are in the immediate sense, of lesser moral consequence than the defeat of the enemy, and the actions of the enemy, both before and during said war.
* Hindsight, which is what is being engaged in here by John McCain , is a luxury a nation at war cannot afford. For example, consider the post 9/11 world, and the discussions about 'How far would you go to stop another 9/11?" We succeeded in stopping any more such attacks on us, and we continue to hold them back. Being concerned now with the 'rights' of those attacking us is at least counter-productive, and self-defeating.
The choice before us, as I see it comes down to one enemy combatants comfort, or a handful, over thousands of American lives. McCain has stuck up here not for the Americans and for the west but for the enemy.
John McCain is wrong…dead wrong… on this issue.

The federal bankruptcy judge who was considering legal issues Wednesday surrounding whether Pennsylvania's debt-choked capital deserves continued protection from creditors in her court focused on the intent of the state constitution and laws.
After hearing more than two hours of arguments from lawyers in the case, Judge Mary D. France said she would decide the matter later Wednesday. The legal issues are a first test as to whether a petition for bankruptcy protection filed by Harrisburg City Council can go forward over the objections of the mayor, Gov. Tom Corbett, Dauphin County, bond insurers and others.
In the meantime, the Corbett administration is moving forward with a takeover of the city's finances, creating a legal gray area over how much authority the state holds while the city has bankruptcy protection.
While admitting that she typically doesn't consider matters of state and constitutional law, France questioned whether a four-month-old state law designed to temporarily prohibit a bankruptcy filing by Harrisburg had met state constitutional standards that demand transparency in the passage of legislation.
She also questioned whether a divided Harrisburg City Council indeed had the authority to go over the mayor's head and file for bankruptcy. Still, she dismissed other arguments made by a lawyer for City Council over why the bankruptcy petition should be considered proper.
The Susquehanna River city of 50,000 is saddled with about $300 million in debt tied to its nearly 40-year-old trash incinerator. Beset by environmental problems and fines for years, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency shut it down in 2003 with about $100 million in debt already piled on it, some of which had gone to finance other city projects.
Faced with the decision to abandon it and clean up the site, or finance an overhaul, City Council voted for the latter in hopes that it would one day emerge as a profitable investment. But the renovation went awry, and ended up being far more expensive. Meanwhile, Harrisburg city residents now pay among the highest trash-disposal rates in the nation, while the facility can't generate nearly enough money to pay the debt.
The divided City Council voted last month to file the Chapter 9 petition in a bid to thwart a state takeover and force concessions from creditors. Mayor Linda Thompson and City Council had been unable to come up with a debt repayment plan, as the city fell tens of millions of dollars behind on debt payments and lawsuits piled up.

There are so many hot nail designs coming off the New York Fashion Week runways this week, that I could not help myself in dabbling in a little DIY.
My first attempt at a DIY runway mani was this cool, two-toned look that nail expert Jin Soon Choi chose for models at the Prabal Gurung show. It's not a half-moon or Ruffian, and it's not a French or American. It's a new, fresh look! She was working with Sally Hansen.
She took a base of Lacey Lilac (SH Extreme Wear) and then topped it with a color coming in Spring that Prabal collaborated on – Loves-Me-Not, a deep plum.
To note, Prabal Gurung collaborated with Sally Hansen on a three-color Complete Salon Manicure collection that "features eye-catching brights and creamy pale hues with an edge that reflects the designer's spring collection inspired by Nobuyashi Araki's photographic series, "Sensual Flower," according to a SH press release.
My first attempt was to do this mani design a little different, so I chose Revlon Girly as my base (one coat), with two coats of Orly Lucky Duck on top.
The design looked good, but I wasn't crazy about the color combo:
I tweeted a pic of my nails on Twitter, tagging Jin Soon. She actually replied! She said the technique was good, but I might want to consider a darker green for a more mature nail. Thanks, Jin Soon! That's what I did!
I ended up trying it again the next day, but this time, I wanted to imitate that purple and lilac look. So I chose Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Delphinium for the light base (one coat) and two coats of Summer Plum on top.
I was MUCH happier with how this turned out! It looks great!
I found the SH CSM brush a bit harder to work with to get an even rounded look near the base of the nail, with Summer Plum, but things pretty much evened out when I went over it with a second coat.
This is a great, quick, sophisticated design! I believe this is something anyone can imitate – you may need a bit of a steady hand – but you never know how it will go until you try it out yourself!
A little bit more information on the spring SH CSM collection: Not only did Prabal Gurung contribute three polishes to the collection, but Tracy Reese and Alexander Wang also created exclusive nail colors to complement each of their runway collections! The polishes will retail for $7.99, and won't be available until April 2012. But we can still drool early, right?! I've seen pics, but I don't have any to share right now.
What do you think of this nail design? Do you think this will trend? Do you try to do runway nails at home, too? Share your comments below! And stay tuned – I hope to have another runway look posted soon!
Disclaimer: SH CSM Delphinium and Summer Plum were previously sent to me for review by the PR Firm/Manufacturer. Please visit my Disclosure tab for more information on how BeautyJudy.com keeps it real!

Doctors, investigators appointed for reviews at hospital
TWO independent doctors and two investigators have been appointed to undertake a Clinical Review and Health Service Investigation into Rockhampton Hospital, following concerns raised about patient safety in recent weeks.
Queensland Health Director-General Ian Maynard announced Dr Howard Lau, Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons would undertake a clinical review into the cases of four patients treated by the same surgeon at Rockhampton Hospital, located in the Central Queensland Hospital and Health Service.
The search for another appropriate clinical reviewer is underway, and may extend to the United Kingdom.
Mr Maynard said the scope of the Clinical Review was broad in order to identify any issues with the safety and quality system and processes at Rockhampton Hospital.
The review will cover:
- Sequence of events and significant decision-making points relevant to the patients
- Qualifications, training, experience and scope of practice of the surgeon concerned
- How the surgery was performed including the informed consent process and surgical
- safety procedures
- Capability and staffing of the Rockhampton Hospital at the time of the surgery
- Post-operative monitoring and patient reviews planned and undertaken, including
- whether there were any signs or indications that should have led to further
- investigations, and;
- The overall management of the patients' presentations, including the
- appropriateness and timeliness of assessments, investigations and notifications.
The Clinical Review is expected to commence within weeks.
"This entire process has to be thorough to be of any real use, so if the team needs more time I will give it to them," he said.
Mr Maynard said in addition to the Clinical Review, Dr Philip Hoyle, a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Medical Administrators, had been appointed as a Health Service Investigator.
"Dr Hoyle will work with a senior lawyer from Minter Ellison Lawyers and the clinical reviewers to prepare a report for the Department regarding Rockhampton Hospital's clinical governance policies," he said.
"The investigators will consider whether relevant clinical governance policies, procedures and practices for the hospital, the Division of Surgery and the broader HHS were in place.
"They will also examine whether the policies were complied with and had any impact on the standard and quality of care provided to the patients."
Specifically the investigators will cover:
- Clinical service capability framework definition, review and compliance
- Credentialing and defining the scope of practice for clinical staff
- Clinical audit
- Clinical incident and complaint management
- Performance review for clinical staff
- Collecting, reporting and monitoring of safety and quality data.
"The investigators will put forward any recommendations as to how the health service's clinical governance and patient safety could be improved, and any other matters identified throughout the process."
The Health Service Investigation, which will incorporate the findings of the clinical review, will also commence within weeks.
The cost of the investigation will be funded by the Department of Health.
Natural justice is to be extended to all involved until the reviews are complete and any recommendations fully considered.

Display Nativity Statues on a Flat Surface Where Possible
Your nativity scene will look the best if your display area is fairly level. If your surface is not flat, the statue may be propped up one side bringing it to level, or you may have a platform constructed to accommodate any slope in your landscape.
Keep Statues as Clean as Possible
This mainly applies to making sure the statues are stored as clean as possible. While they are made for outdoors and are able to withstand harsh climates, protect them as you would any valuable product. Protect them from the sun when not in use, keep leaves, grasses and dirt from accumulating on the surface.
Do Not Move Statues Alone
Some of the statues can be easy to move, and some rather difficult. While the statues are cast hollow, the larger statues such as the Holy Family, and Kings are over a couple hundred pounds, and are moved best with 2-3 people. Where possible, use a lift or dollies.
Display Creche Using Stable when Possible
Big Nativity offers a stable designed for the statues which can be purchased. The stable helps to form a backdrop for the statues which helps to tie the entire nativity scene together. Many customers have built their own stable, or they have something in place already which is decorated as a stable. The stable can also help protect some of the statues.
Use Straw around Base of Statues
Straw looks very natural and is much better than grass for display. Straw will also conceal the pallet if you choose to have the statues mounted on pallets. Usually one straw bail is enough for the Starter Set, while two to three can be used for the Premium 9 Piece Set.

This year's academy has a double focus: The North German Chorale Fantasias and the organ works of Georg Böhm.
The North German Baroque Organ in Örgryte New Church with its four manuals and pedal, subsemi-keys and meantone temperament is the ideal instrument to explore the world of the North German chorale fantasias. The academy offers you a long weekend, where you can experience a substantial number of the choral fantasias: either in concerts, lecture/demonstrations or in Hans Davidsson's master class.
A keynote lecture by Pieter Dirksen, who is preparing a book about the genre, will provide you with an overview of this important compositional form and update you on the latest research. Bine Katrine Bryndorf will present a lecture/demonstration with some case studies from the perspective of composing music at the keyboard, and Karin Nelson will lecture about Scheidemann's Magnificat fantasias and compositional techniques. Aspects of performance practice regarding Scheidemann's choral fantasias will be discussed in Pieter Dirksen's lecture/demonstration and Joel Speerstra will look at performance practice of chorale fantasias from the rhetorical perspective of acting at the keyboard.
Georg Böhm's organ music has often remained in the shadow of other North German composers, even though it is very original in its style, of high quality and shows a very rich and diverse palette of forms. An extra opportunity that we can offer is the exploration of Böhm's compositions in meantone temperament, provided by the Brombaugh organ at Haga Church and the North German Baroque Organ in Örgryte.
Hans Davidsson, who is presently working on a large project focusing on the organ works of Böhm, will teach a master class and in his keynote lecture present an overview of Böhm's organ compositions (sources, editions, analytical survey). Koos van de Linde will give a lecture about the latest research on Böhm's organ in Lüneburg, and Ibo Ortgies will talk about the organ as continuo instrument c. 1700 in Northern Germany.
A vespers following the Lüneburg model and with repertoire from Böhm's time will be performed and Fred Gable will lecture about his findings on the topic. "Georg Böhm at home" will be explored in a concert by Joel Speerstra on clavichord, harpsichord and the 1650-Manderscheidt positive at Artisten: The academy will be concluded with a concert by Hans Davidsson, with (mostly) music by Böhm, as well as poetry and dance, joined by classical dancers Stayce Camparo and Jonathan Davidsson.

Essential Nutrients
What are essential nutrients?
Essential nutrients are those nutrients that are vital for your health, but they cannot be produced in your body, so you have to get them from foods or dietary supplements in order to be healthy.
Five, Not Six Groups of Essential Nutrients
Five groups of essential nutrients include 1. water, 2. all vitamins, 3. some minerals, 4. some amino acids (from proteins) and 5. some fatty acids (from fats).
Carbohydrates, frequently listed as an essential group of nutrients, are NOT essential. Your body can synthesize all carbohydrates it needs, including glucose, from proteins and fats. Essential nutrients along with carbohydrates are often named basic or key nutrients, though. Several research groups currently recommend getting 55-65% of calories from carbohydrates. This means, even if carbohydrates are not essential, they may be a healthy nutrient choice.
A Nearly Complete List of Essential Nutrients
The number of nutrients that are considered essential is not fixed; every now and then some nutrient gets on or off of the list. We here present 39 nutrients for which we believe are currently considered essential:
Chart 1. Essential Nutrients
|Amino acids
|Fatty acids
Conditionally Essential Nutrients
Conditionally essential nutrients can be produced in your body, but in certain circumstances, like a severe disease or infancy, you may need to obtain additional amounts from foods. The following nutrients are considered conditionally essential by some, but not all, researchers:
- Vitamin D (vitamin D2 or ergocalciferol, and vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol)
- Amino acids: arginine, cysteine, glutamine, glycine, ornithine, proline, serine , taurine [7,8] and tyrosine [4]
- Lutein and zeaxanthin [5]
- Betaine [6]
More Research Needed
It is currently not clear if the following nutrients are also essential for humans: aluminum, boron, lead, nickel, silicon, sulfur, vanadium.
Non-Essential Nutrients
All other nutrients that can be synthesized by the human body in sufficient amounts are called non-essential nutrients, for example, starch, fructose, saturated fatty acids and cholesterol.
21 Responses to "Essential Nutrients"
There are 91 Essential nutrients, not just 41. Many essential trace minerals are omitted by nutritionists because there are no RDA's for them, but science shows us that without them our bodies will suffer and cease to function properly.
where can i find a list of these 91 minerals that you speak of?
Sorry… i meant nutrients (extending the mineral list)
Here is a list. It states 91 are essential.
hello Andrew, I have been taking these Essential vitamins for three months now, I have noticed a little difference in my way of thinking, but I was hoping that the vitamin would get rid of the ringing I hear constantly in my brain or my ears , not sure where the noise is coming from, sometimes it is loud and sometimes it is not, but very annoying for me, is there anything I can take for my problem,?
I have been to a few doctors, and was told there is nothing that can be done for me,
Can you tell us what Ted Slanker recommends for a supplement if you are diseased and need extra help? Need the brand name that he mIght take?
Is there a list that recommends how much of these nutrients we should be consuming?
Taurine may be a CONDITIONALLY essential nutrient:
Also, I haven't researched choline enough (or any of this enough yet), but just because choline is considered a vitamin, doesn't mean that it is an essential nutrient. For example, Vitamin D, is a conditionally essential nutrient:
and maybe this information source:
Comment on my last comment: The last link, if you can get access to the full article and or go to the references it lists, may provide valid information as to why choline may not be an essential nutrient.
If you read my comments and benefit from them and or you give a useful response or responses to one or both of them, thank you.
I'd like to make two points about my first comment, and I'd like to communicate why I didn't need to comment in the first place.
Two points about my first comment:
1. I didn't need to put that taurine may be a conditionally essential nutrient and that vitamin d is a conditionally essential nutrient, because that information is already available on this website, (more specifically, and in an easily accessible location) below the supposed to be essential nutrients list list.
2. I didn't need to put links for most of the sources I did, as they are already available on this website, and are easily accessible.
Why I didn't need to comment in the first place: I didn't need to comment in the first place, because of two reasons:
"1. I didn't need to put that taurine may be a conditionally essential nutrient and that vitamin d is a conditionally essential nutrient, because that information is already available on this website, (more specifically, and in an easily accessible location) below the supposed to be essential nutrients list list. ."
"2. I didn't need to put links for most of the sources I did, as they are already available on this website, and are easily accessible."
2. It doesn't matter that at least one nutrient on the above, supposed to be essential nutrients list list, may not be an essential nutrient, because getting into and or having in your body, at least one maybe non-essential or maybe conditionally essential nutrient, isn't harmful, unless you have too much of it or them, and or you are getting it or them into and or are having it or them in your body improperly (if this point is obvious to you, and me communicating that point to you that you find obvious, caused you any bad feelings, I am sorry), and or unless you have at least one relevant health condition.
That is all. Thank you, and if I caused and unnecessary suffering, I am sorry.
Edits for my last comment: "It doesn't matter that at least one nutrient on the above, supposed to be essential nutrients list list, may not be an essential nutrient (edit: (if you getting it or them into your body from food and or a supplement or supplements)), because getting into and or having in your body, at least one maybe non-essential or maybe conditionally essential nutrient, isn't harmful, unless you have too much of it or them, and or you are getting it or them into and or are having it or them in your body improperly (if this point is obvious to you, and me communicating that point to you that you find obvious, caused you any bad feelings, I am sorry), and or unless you have at least one relevant health condition. Edit: Also, it is at least possible (but probably likely) that you will unintentionally be getting into and having in your body, the potentially non-essential or conditionally essential nutrients, from your diet. So, if it turns out that they are essential nutrients, it is at least possible (but probably more than just possible), that you won't have a deficiency or deficiencies.
Again, if ai caused any unnecessary suffering, I am sorry.
I am done now.
I know that my last comment is inconveniently long, but please try your best to fully read and understand it.
Thank you.

I was making a patch by follwoing wiki, but I have a doubt when patching a kernel module, after doint the set in which I move back all the changes to the buildroot by typing
make target/linux/update package/index V=s
I have to go to the toplevel directory in my case
~$ cd openwrt/attitude_adjustment
And there I have to run
make target/linux/{compile,install}
make target/linux/update
After doing that the buildroot is updated, and then do I have to enter in the menuconfig again or just type make V=99 in order to compile the whole suite with my patched applied? Because as far as I could understand, the patched are applied after running make, don't they?
Thanks in advance!

Ever wonder how the slime craze all started? It all happened in the winter of 1975 when Mattel came out with a gooey green substance called slime.
Torture for moms clean carpet, endless fun for the kids, every kid wanted slime! Other brands even came out with more putty, and even board games! But it wasn't until now that slime has really made its way to the top.
With over 4 million posts of the #slime on Instagram and videos spreading over YouTube like a crazy virus and glue vanishing off shelves, slime has become a must have for almost every kid.
That's why you can make homemade slime using this website to guide you. Enjoy your slime!

"Irresponsible and selfish" - police launch summer campaign against drink and drug drivers
Copyright Archant Norfolk 2015
Drink and drug drivers will be targeted by police over the course of the next month as part of a summer campaign in Norfolk and Suffolk.
The campaign, which launched yesterday, will last until June 30 and will see officers from both counties testing drivers who commit various offences and all drivers involved in a collision.
The officers will test for the presence of alcohol and drugs and, if over the specified limits, both offences carry an obligatory driving disqualification and in the most serious cases, imprisonment.
Sergeant Peter Howlett of the roads policing unit said: "This is an offence we target all year round but the summer campaign gives us the opportunity to raise awareness of the dangers driving under the influence can have, that a minority of motorists still chose to ignore.
"Drink or drug driving impairs your judgement, making your reactions slower, therefore increasing the chance of being involved in a collision."
The campaign will involve targeted roadside activities by roads policing officers with support from uniformed colleagues across the county.
During last year's campaign (2017) 62 motorists were caught drink or drug driving in Suffolk while 25 were caught in Norfolk.
Norfolk Police and Crime Commissioner Lorne Green said: "It is clear from last year's statistics that too many motorists chose to drive while under the influence of drink or drugs.
"It is just not worth the risk and is an irresponsible and selfish thing to do.
"We all have a part to play in keeping our roads safe so let's not make this summer one to remember for all the wrong reasons." The launch of the campaign comes after a weekend in which a driver who was stopped by police for using a phone was then found to be driving under the influence and in possession of cannabis.
It happened in Sale Road, Norwich, on Sunday at around 10am.
On the same day, in the west of the county, roads policing officers stopped at Audi travelling at 124mph on the A47 at Terrington St John.
The driver also failed a roadside drug test and was arrested on suspicion of drug driving.

Good Evening Readers,
I trust that we are all well? I am currently working until 1 am and whilst doing so, I am watching Indian Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, what a classic film! Anyway, I have some exciting news to share with you all.
So, normally I start these posts with explaining that I am not really doing much with my graduate summer, whilst that is still true in some respects, I now have exciting news. Over the next couple of weeks, I will be publishing a book! A while back I wrote a book and have it 'published', by this I mean I had it officially printed, however, it was only one copy of it. I never thought much of it after that, well, I've discovered that Amazon allows you to publish and distribute your own personal book, therefore, this is what I will be doing!
I am going to spend the next week or two going over the old PDF of my book and editing it and getting it up to a standard that will be ready for publication, then it will go on Amazon and officially go on sale! Therefore, if anybody would like to read my poetry from the past couple of years, and you'll be able to have a read of it and see what kind of stuff I write! I'll keep you all updated on that!
On another note, I have been painting the student house for the past couple of days and now I am home for a week! It's nice to be back, unlimited food, big TV, comfy bed and my family of course… it's a lovely life! Also, today, I switched rooms back in my student house today… it took a couple of hours but I am now in the attic rooms and I am very cozy up there… even have my own little office! Therefore, working and what not will be a lot easier as I will not have the distraction of my TV/Xbox.
Well, that is all I have to update you on at the moment, until next time!

Scotland's Catholic Bishops will travel to Rome this week on their five-yearly, 'Ad limina' visit. The visit required by church law, obliges the Bishops of each country to travel to Rome, meet the Pope and in acknowledging his universal jurisdiction, make a report to him of the state of each diocese in Scotland. (see explanatory note below) The following members of the Bishops' Conference will travel to Rome and remain there from Monday 3 March until Saturday 8 March:
Archbishop Keith O'Brien, President of the Bishops' Conference of Scotland and Archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh. Archbishop Mario Conti, Vice-President of the Bishops' Conference of Scotland and Archbishop of Glasgow. Bishop John Mone, Bishop of Paisley. Bishops Joseph Devine, Bishop of Motherwell. Bishop Vincent Logan, Bishop of Dunkeld. Bishop Ian Murray, Bishop of Argyll and the Isles. Canon Peter Moran, Diocesan Administrator, Diocese of Aberdeen. Monsignor Henry Docherty, General Secretary, Bishops' Conference of Scotland.
On medical advice, following recent surgery, Bishop Maurice Taylor, Bishop of Galloway will not travel to Rome.
Before leaving, Archbishop O'Brien said:
"We travel to Rome at a time of great international uncertainty and turmoil. Together with those in other denominations and faiths we remain anxious over the prospects for peace in Iraq. We endorse the call of the Scottish Interfaith Council to "members of our different faith traditions to pray earnestly for peace throughout the world." While as a Conference we recently called for prayers in the cause of peace and for greater observance of the great commandment of our Christian faith; "to love our neighbours as ourselves".
He added:
"One of our first tasks as Bishops of Scotland will be to thank the Pope for his twenty five years service to the Church and to congratulate him in advance on his Silver Jubilee which will be celebrated around the world on 16 October 2003. We will explain that our Catholic community play an important part in the life of our country and are encouraged by the Church to do so. We value deeply our links with other denominations and faiths in Scotland and will elaborate in detail on ecumenical and political developments in this country."
As well as an audience with the Pope, and visits to various Vatican departments, the Scottish delegation will also visit the tombs of St.s Peter and Paul and will be guests of honour at a dinner hosted by the British Ambassador to the Holy See (Her Excellency Mrs Colvin). They will also meet the General Secretary of CARITAS, the Church's International aid agency, Mr Duncan McLaren. Mr McLaren is a former Director of SCIAF (Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund).
Arrangements for supply of photographs of Papal Audience will be advised during the week beginning Monday 3, March.
Explanatory Note:
Ad Limina Apostolorum
(to the thresholds of the Apostles)
The visit ad limina means, technically, the obligation incumbent on the world's Catholic Bishops of visiting, at stated times, the "thresholds of the Apostles", Sts. Peter and Paul, and of presenting themselves before the pope to give an account of the state of their dioceses. The object of the visit is not merely to make a pilgrimage to the tombs of the apostles, but, above all, to show the proper reverence for the Successor of St. Peter, to acknowledge practically his universal jurisdiction by giving an account of the condition of particular churches, to receive his admonitions and counsels, and thus bind more closely the members of the Church to its Divinely appointed head.
A Roman council under Pope Zacharias (A.D. 743) decreed that bishops consecrated by the pope, who reside near Rome, should make the visit ad limina yearly in person, and those who are far away should fulfil the same obligation by letter. In 1585 Sixtus V issued the Constitution "Romanus Pontifex", which for over three hundred years formed the main rule and norm for visits ad limina. The present discipline concerning visits ad limina is found in the Decree of the Consistorial Congregation, issued by order of Pius X (31 Dec., 1909). This decree states that every bishop must render to the pope an account of the state of his diocese once every five years.
Bishops, when they come to Rome in fulfilment of their obligation of ad limina, must visit the tombs of the apostles and present themselves before the Pope.

AI War 2 is out now! Get it on Steam today!
I'm not committed to "Mercenary Groups", but I think calling them factions will just confuse people.
Imagining I'm a new player, and I read that Mercs are a faction...it would be confusing. They don't work at all like the others. Groups might just have to do it for now though.
I like the term freelancer, too. Is that for replacing "mercenaries" or replacing "factions?" Basically "mercenary freelancers?" I'm a bit confused on that.
