Last year for my birthday, my mom put together a collection of some of the notions and sewing related items that belonged to her mother. I think was probably one of my favorite birthday presents ever. Love the old thimble, the wooden spools and the old needle case.
This was at the same time I was working on my daughter's pink, aqua and red retro quilt. So my mom tied the gift into that color scheme. Until I pulled out these items again, I'd forgotten she'd included this vintage hankie. I need to do something with it to go in my daughter's room! Maybe frame it?
This item was probably my favorite – my grandma's needle book with her name on it. Roma – don't you love that name? It was probably always a little exotic for her era. My grandma would be 101 right now. She was a classy lady – and probably an iconic 50's housewife. I extra love that it's in the aqua and pink color scheme.
My mom also included these items from the slightly-less-vintage-but-still-dated-era of my own childhood: the 1970's. I remember helping my mom make clothes with this pattern for my own My Friend Mandy doll. We made a blue dress and bonnet with the coordinating white eyelet pinafore. That enfamil can was from when I was born and my mom used it for years to hold her own sewing notions. I still remember it sitting next to her sewing machine. Throw in the fact that it's pink and it was a very appropriate addition to this three-generation-sewing nostalgia.
I love this kind of stuff. But I love it even more because of the family sentimentality. (I don't know how many of my grandma's other grandchildren would have got so excited about a bunch of old spools of thread.) I'm so glad she didn't just throw them away. There's something cool about handling and using something one of your fore-mothers used. I like it.

Last Updated: March 15, 2018
Opt Out of the "Sale" of Your Personal Information
Younique, LLC, a company organized under the laws of the State of Utah, and Younique Products B.V., a company organized under the laws of the Netherlands and an indirect subsidiary of Younique, LLC (collectively referred to herein as "Younique," "we," "us," and "our"), understand the importance of privacy of individuals (referred to herein as "users" and "you"). This Privacy and Cookie Policy applies to information collection and use, including while you are visiting and using our website (located at https://www.youniqueproducts.com) (the "Site"), our mobile applications (the "Apps"), or our other services that reference this Privacy and Cookie Policy (the "Services"). Please note that, for the purposes of EU data protection laws, both Younique, LLC and Younique Products B.V. shall be "data controllers" (that is, the companies responsible for, and which control the processing of, your personal information collected in accordance with this Privacy and Cookie Policy).
Younique may collect two different types of information: Personally Identifiable Information ("PII") and Non-Personally Identifiable Information ("Non-PII").
PII is information that identifies you as an individual or from which you are identifiable. This may include:
- information (such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, social media account information, including without limitation Facebook, Google+, and Instagram, birth date, taxpayer identification number and/or social security number, credit card information, billing address, IP address, images, purchase history, and shipping information) that you provide (i) by completing forms on the Site or the Apps, including any information you provide during the registration process to become a Younique Presenter or customer, or any information you provide to purchase products, or (ii) in connection with any Services, including if you register, upload, or submit any material via the Site or the Apps or enter into any competition or promotion we may sponsor;
- in connection with an account sign-in facility, your log-in and password details;
- the content of any communications you send to us, for example, to report a problem or to submit questions, concerns, or comments regarding the Site, the Apps, the Services, our products, or any related content, as well as your preferred method of communication; and
- information from surveys that we may, from time to time, run on the Site, the Apps, or in connection with the Services, for research purposes, if you choose to respond to or participate in such surveys.
If you are a Younique Presenter, we may also collect your commission and bonus information. PII may also be collected from, among other places, information you provide directly to us, information regarding products or services that Younique currently provides or has previously provided to you, or information Younique receives from our affiliated entities, other Younique Presenters, or third parties relating to the establishment of our relationship or the provision of services to you. This information can be received in any manner, including via in-person discussions, telephone conversations, and electronic or other written communications.
If you are a customer or the host of an in-person or online Younique party, your PII may be provided to us by the Younique Presenter who took your order or who attended a Younique party that you hosted or attended.
The provision of PII by you is necessary in order for us to fulfil our legal and contractual obligations with you and for the purposes identified below where in our legitimate interests. You are under no obligation to provide any such information. However, if you should choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with certain services.
Unless we specifically request or invite it, we ask that you not send or otherwise disclose to us any information that is considered a "special category of personal data" under EU data protection laws (such as information related to your health). Where we specifically request such information, we will seek your prior explicit consent to do so. You are under no obligation to provide any such information and do so on a strictly voluntary basis to help Younique resolve any questions or complaints you have about our products. Younique will not use such information for any other purpose and will only retain it as long as necessary to resolve your question or complaint.
Non-PII is aggregate information. This may include demographic information, user behavior data from web interaction metrics tools, and any other information that does not reveal your identity. Non-PII may be connected to other information we collect from you.
Younique may use PII about you for the following purposes: (i) to establish or maintain our relationship with you; (ii) to contact you and respond to your requests and inquiries; (iii) to provide you with services you have requested; (iv) to keep you informed of products and services we think may be of interest to you; (v) to personalize your experience with us; (vi) to assist you while you use the Site, the Apps, or the Services; (vii) for business administration, including statistical analysis; (viii) to improve the Site, the Apps, or the Services by helping us to understand who uses the Site, the Apps, and/or the Services and how they are used; (ix) for fraud prevention and detection; and (x) to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and codes of practice.
Younique may share PII about you with others, such as our affiliates, other Younique Presenters, government entities and regulatory bodies, those with whom you have requested us to share information, third parties in order for them to provide us with services (including, for example, companies that provide us with technical support and assistance with respect to the Site, the Apps, or the Services, financial institutions who process payment for orders placed by you, our suppliers and other third parties who facilitate delivery of the products and services you have ordered, and third parties who assist us with research to help us improve the Site, the Apps, the Services, and our product offerings).
If you inquire about our products, services, or the Younique business opportunity, we may provide your contact details to a Younique Presenter in your local area to respond to your inquiry. Additionally, if you purchase Younique products or set up a customer account with us, we may share your name, location, contact details, and purchase history with Younique Presenters to help them establish and maintain a relationship with you. If you are a Younique Presenter, your name, location, contact details, and performance may be shared with other Younique Presenters. Additionally, PII about you may be shared with customers.
Younique requires third parties who perform services for us to agree to treat PII about you confidentially and securely and only for the purpose of performing services on our behalf. NOTE THAT THIS STATEMENT DOES NOT ADDRESS THE PRIVACY PRACTICES OR POLICIES OF OUR INDEPENDENT YOUNIQUE PRESENTERS. However, Younique Presenters agree, as specified in our Younique Independent Presenter Agreement, to comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Privacy Policy to the contrary, we reserve the right to disclose and use your PII if we believe that we are required or permitted to do so: (a) to our professional advisors, including lawyers, accountants, tax advisors, and auditors; (b) to debt collection agencies and other parties that assist with debt-recovery functions; (c) by law; (d) in response to legal process (for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena); (e) in response to a law enforcement agency's request; (f) to enforce our other terms, conditions, or policies; (g) to protect our operations; (h) to protect the rights, privacy, safety, or property of Younique, you, or others; and/or (i) to permit us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages we may sustain. For example, we may, to the fullest extent the law allows, disclose PII about you to law enforcement agencies to assist them in identifying individuals who have been or may be engaged in unlawful activities. We may also transfer your PII to a third party that acquires all or part of our assets or shares, or that succeeds us in carrying on all or part of our business, whether by merger, acquisition, reorganization, or otherwise.
Because Non-PII does not personally identify you, we reserve the right to use Non-PII, and to disclose Non-PII to third parties, for any purpose.
Unless restricted by law, regulation, contract, or professional standards, Younique may transfer PII about you outside of the United Kingdom to other countries for the purposes described in this Privacy and Cookie Policy.
If you are located in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or Switzerland, we may transfer your PII to countries outside of the EEA and Switzerland that may not provide a similar or adequate level of protection to that provided by the EEA and/or Switzerland (including the United States). To provide adequate protection for PII received in the United States from the EEA and/or Switzerland, Younique has self-certified its compliance with the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks (collectively, the "Privacy Shield Frameworks"), as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce and adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles regarding the collection, use, and retention of PII transferred from the EEA and Switzerland to Younique in the United States. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Privacy Policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Frameworks, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.
Younique shall remain liable under the Privacy Shield Frameworks if a third-party agent uses or discloses PII received from Younique in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield Principles, unless Younique proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage. If Younique has knowledge that a third party is using or disclosing PII in a manner contrary to this Privacy Policy, we will take reasonable steps to stop such use or disclosure.
Under the Privacy Shield Frameworks, Younique will offer an individual the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether PII about them will be disclosed to a third party or used for a purpose incompatible with the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by them, unless such choice is not required by law.
With respect to PII received under the Privacy Shield Frameworks, Younique is subject to the investigatory and enforcement authority of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose PII in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
Where a complaint relates to PII transferred or received pursuant to the Privacy Shield Frameworks, you should first contact Younique using the contact information provided below. We will investigate and attempt to resolve any questions or complaints you may have within 45 days of receipt. If Younique is unable to resolve your complaint through its internal processes or you are unsatisfied with the response, you may file a complaint with JAMS at https://www.jamsadr.com/file-an-eu-us-privacy-shield-or-safe-harbor-claim, at no cost to you.
Under certain circumstances, EEA and Swiss individuals may invoke binding arbitration to resolve a Privacy Shield related dispute. In order to invoke arbitration, you must take the following steps prior to initiating an arbitration claim: (1) raise your complaint directly with Younique and provide us the opportunity to resolve the issue; (2) make use of the independent dispute resolution mechanism, in this case JAMS; and (3) raise the issue through your relevant data protection authority and allow the U.S. Department of Commerce an opportunity to resolve the complaint at no cost to you. For more information on binding arbitration, see the U.S. Department of Commerce's Privacy Shield Framework: Annex I (Binding Arbitration).
Individuals in the EEA and Switzerland have certain data subject rights which may be subject to limitations and/or restrictions. These rights include the right to: (i) request access to and rectification or erasure of their PII; (ii) obtain restriction of processing or to object to processing of their PII; and (iii) ask for a copy of their PII to be provided to them, or a third party, in a digital format. If you wish to exercise one of the above-mentioned rights, please send us your request to the contact details set out below. Individuals also have the right to lodge a complaint about the processing of their PII with their local data protection authority.
Younique maintains reasonable physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to protect PII from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our personnel and the personnel of our affiliates are provided access to PII about you only if they have a need to know the information in connection with a legitimate business purpose, such as (a) the provision of services to you or (b) to help identify other services that Younique and its affiliates offer that may be of interest or use to you.
We retain your PII for as long as you remain a customer or a Younique Presenter and thereafter only for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law or to otherwise fulfil a legal obligation.

The crisis in Ukraine and economic woes bedeviling emerging markets have dealt blows to an airline industry struggling to get on firmer footing.
Last month, the International Air Transport Association's revised its outlook for the global aviation industry to $18.7 billion from its previous forecast of $19.7 billion. In its March financial forecast for the global airline industry, the group said the crisis in Ukraine and the ensuing geopolitical risk are putting upward pressure on oil prices again. In addition, the downturn in emerging markets resulting from a serious fall in capital flows has dampened economic growth. That affected the airline industry because emerging market growth has generated proportionately more air travel than in developed travel markets.
And then there's the continuing news coverage of the missing Malaysian Airlines jetliner. Whether that causes travelers to skip flying is an open question. The stock of the airliner has fallen in recent years, even before the airliner went missing.
Despite the problems, investors like Nick Cowley, portfolio manager for Henderson Global Investors' Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, the global airline sector offers opportunities. "After 9/11, many people dismissed investing in the airline industry, and more recently, they have stayed away because of oil prices," Cowley said. "In the pre-9/11 era, many airlines grew too fast, but today, a number of airlines have changed their business models to cope with higher oil prices and if you look on a case-by-case basis, we still think you can find some well positioned companies that are well managed and have sustainable competitive advantages."
He listed three things investors should consider before putting their money in the airline industry:
1. The airlines that make for the best investments are those that have succeeded in creating a niche for themselves, Cowley said, either because of where their hub is located or because they have built up strong networks that have given them a competitive edge over others. Turkish Airlines is a great example of this. "If you look at where Istanbul is located and then look at Turkish Airlines compared to its competitors, which are generally Middle Eastern carriers that are operating large aircraft like Boeing and Airbus, it's clear that Turkish Airlines has an advantage since its competitors haven't got a market for flights connecting to Russia and elsewhere in Europe," Cowley said, "But from Istanbul, it's a four-hour flight to a vast majority of places in Europe and the Middle East, which means Turkish Airlines can operate smaller, narrow-bodied aircraft that are easier to fill up, and thus run efficient, profitable operations." Cowley also likes Panama's Copa Airlines, which successfully operates small planes from its main hub to a number of U.S. destinations that are not that far from Panama. "Because these airlines are operating with fairly tight capacity, they end up being profitable, and to business travelers from the U.S., you can see why it makes sense to connect via Panama because it opens up the way to a lot of different places in Latin America," he said.
2. One of the biggest themes in the airline industry in recent years has been the boom in budget carriers in the emerging markets. In response to the spike in travel, both domestic as well as international, a number of low-cost airlines have sprung up in many emerging market countries such as India, but Cowley warns that these are often not the best companies to invest in, despite the fact that there's a great deal of domestic air travel in many emerging markets. "The problem for most of these budget airlines is that their competitors are often state owned and ill disciplined and that results in a 'national champion' type industry, with a state carrier trying to defend its market share quite aggressively against budget, and you end up with a tight pricing environment that isn't conducive to business," he said. Malaysia's Air Asia, which operates flights throughout the ASEAN region, is an example of this. The airline, similar to Easyjet in Europe, competes head-on against the national carrier and this results in a tough pricing battle that, Cowley said, is not conducive to good business. So even if a budget carrier may be well managed, having to pit itself against a poorly managed competitor doesn't make for the best fundamentals.
3. Although the overall slowdown in emerging markets will impact the airline industry as well, Asia may face a bigger problem. Among others, there is too much capacity in the Asian airline industry, Cowley said, and that needs to be worked through. He has a more positive outlook on Latin America, where airline travel is still "fairly young in its penetration" and has some good growth potential ahead of it. According to air transport association, Latin American airlines should collectively deliver a profit of $1 billion in 2014.

Some things are simply non-negotiable
Last week, I stood in a small country church and sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic along with about 50 others celebrating the life of my 103-year-old grandmother, whose long life had come to an end.
It was the hymn that she requested be sung at her funeral.
Voices rose thunderously in Brooklyn United Methodist Church as the congregants pounded out the words, "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."
I've always loved that song because of its uncompromising zeal to fight for freedom.
Julia Ward Howe wrote the verses in 1862 while the nation was in the midst of the Civil War.
One of its most stirring lines is: "Let us die to make men free."
One can imagine young men in blue marching into battle singing that hymn. They were willing to give their lives for a cause bigger than themselves.
There was no room for comprise in those words.
But such sentiments are no longer politically correct.
After all, today compromise is the name of the game. We are told there are no absolutes. "Go along to get along" seems to be the mantra of many in Springfield and Washington.
It is no small wonder that in recent decades there has been a movement to reword that line in the great hymn to: "let us live to make men free."
After all, is freedom really worth dying for?
Yes, it is.
The men who charged the beaches of Normandy knew that all too well. So did those who gave their lives at Hue and Iwo Jima.
Imagine where we would be today if George Washington had chosen to compromise rather than fight. British tyranny would have prevailed and the greatest nation on earth would never have been born.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. recognized the temptation to compromise and addressed it in his great "I Have a Dream" speech:
"We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice."
Dr. King knew some things just were non-negotiable.
Nowhere in that speech will one find the soothing balm of compromise.
Those who are regular readers of this column know that I don't often take a middle ground.
As they say in Texas, "The middle of the road is a fine place to be – if you're a dead armadillo."
Some things in life are non-negotiable.
In a recent column, I was blunt in explaining why the recent pension compromise was bad for our state and will do little to resolve the Land of Lincoln's ongoing fiscal ailments.
I wish I was wrong.
But I cannot remain silent on a matter that imperils the future of this great state.
I have not the slightest doubt that the issue of pensions will be visited again and again in coming years because this "compromise" does little but saddle future generations of Illinoisans with our debt and likely will burden the current generation with higher taxes.
Some will say, "Scott, the matter has passed and is now law. It's time to remain quiet."
Some things, such as our children's futures, cannot be compromised.
So I will not be silent.

Jolt Awards: The Best Programming Utilities, July 29, 2013 The top utilities that solve annoying development problems.
Jolt Awards 2013: Utilities
Software development has always been filled with small, annoying tasks that must be performed but chew up valuable time. While the burden of these chores was bearable in the past, today's projects involve so much set up and such extensive preparation that it is almost a project in itself to set up a new project.
Thank goodness for the large number of utilities that can take on some of this work and relieve us from the tedium of manually solving a wide variety of housekeeping tasks. We looked at approximately 30 utilities small standalone programs that address a single pain point and selected the top six, which are presented here.
These products were extensively tested before being chosen and ranked: There are three finalists, two winners of the Jolt Productivity Award, and one winner of the Jolt Award for top utility of the year which covers the last 12 months. We expect that several of these products will find immediate use in your environment.
The Jolt Judges for this category were: Andrew Binstock, Robert del Rossi, Gary Evans, Mike Riley, and Gigi Sayfan.
We thank the sponsors of the Jolt Awards: Rackspace and Safari Books Online. Now on to this year's best utilities…

MONTREAL - It used to be that kids' sports were just plain fun. Now, they're considered a portal to bigger and better things, such as athletic scholarships and bursaries, an Olympic berth or a pro contract.
To be fair, that's not what most parents are thinking when they first enrol their child in a sports program. But if that child shows promise early, it's not long before he or she is practising four to five nights a week during a season that never seems to end.
By early adolescence, that commitment has blossomed into a six-day-a-week schedule of training and competition that spans 11 months a year.
And then there's the so-called off season, where kids are enrolled in sport-specific camps or working out with a personal trainer to build the muscle, speed and agility needed to maximize performance.
"More young athletes are training year-round," said Erika Persson, a pediatric sport medicine physician whose practice is based out of the Glen Sather Sports Medicine Clinic in Edmonton. "They're also specializing in sports at an earlier age."
Children's bodies respond to training differently from adults. Growth plates in the knees, feet and shoulders make these body parts particularly vulnerable to overuse. And then there's the awkwardness and lack of body awareness and control that is prevalent in growing children, all of which increases the risk of injury among young athletes.
This vulnerability to injury runs contrary to the repetition considered necessary to develop skill in young athletes. So, while coaches demand that athletes repeat the same movement patterns over and over again, health-care officials warn of the dangers associated with overuse.
Persson says, despite the call for coaches and sports organizations to put limits on how often kids train, there is very little conclusive research to suggest just how much is too much. Statistics from a variety of sources suggest that about 50 per cent of sports-related injuries in youth are the result of overuse, yet there are few child- and sport-specific guidelines regarding prevention.
One of the few sports where extensive research has been done into youth injuries is Little League Baseball. Researchers monitored the arm health of pitchers with respect to pitch counts, types of pitches and quality of mechanics. What they found was that the number of pitches thrown was the most significant contributor to arm injuries in young baseball players.
In 2007, a pitch-count rule was put into effect for players from age seven to 18 with specific limits for each game, based on age. The amount of rest between pitching assignments was also regulated, based on the number of pitches delivered in the previous game.
When it comes to other sports, however, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of formalized guidelines as to how often and how hard kids should train. The American Academy of Pediatrics Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness recommends limiting single-sport activities to five days a week with at least one scheduled day of rest from all physical activity. It also suggests young athletes have at least two to three months off per year from their particular sport so that their bodies can rest and rebuild.
Persson agrees, but suggests that it's not just the body that needs rest. Psychological burnout is also common among young athletes. Pushed too hard for too long, children start losing enthusiasm for a sport they used to love playing. Combine that with the general physiological fatigue that comes with overtraining, and young athletes are at increased risk of dropping out for good.
And then there's the social drawback of spending hours and hours in the gym, pool or arena. Kids need time to be kids. They need to be free to attend birthday parties, school dances and family gatherings – activities that are slowly whittled away from young athletes on strict training and competition schedules.
Persson points out that there is little evidence to suggest that the earlier the start and the more dedicated the training, the better the athlete in the long run. She suggests that kids who specialize early will end up achieving the same goals as those who play more than one sport or take more than one day off from training a week. Many athletic skills are transferable, which is why several experts suggest that early overall sport development (running, skipping, throwing and catching) makes for better athletes down the road.
The focus of kids' sports shouldn't be on making kids the best they can be. Instead, it should be on long-term skill development that fosters a lifelong love of sport and physical activity, with a long-range plan that will keep kids in the game longer. Too many young athletes burn out before they reach their potential. And many never pull on a bathing suit or pick up a hockey stick again as adults.

Every parent-to-be hopes for a healthy baby, but it can be hard not to worry: What if the baby has a serious or untreatable health problem? What would I do? Is there anything I can do to prevent problems?
Concerns like these are completely natural. Fortunately, a wide array of tests for pregnant women can help reassure them and keep them informed throughout their pregnancies.
Prenatal tests can help identify health problems that could endanger both a woman and her unborn child, some of which are treatable. However, these tests do have limitations. As an expectant parent, it's important to educate yourself about them and to think about what you would do if a health problem was detected in either you or your baby.
Prenatal tests are given in the first, second, and third trimesters. In a mother, they can determine key things about her health that can affect her baby's health, such as:
In a developing child, prenatal tests can identify:
The last two items on this list may seem the same, but there's a key difference. Some prenatal tests are screening tests and only reveal the possibility of a problem. Other prenatal tests are diagnostic, which means that they can determine — with a fair degree of certainty — whether a fetus has a specific problem. In the interest of making the more specific determination, the screening test may be followed by a diagnostic test.
Certain prenatal tests are considered routine — that is, almost all pregnant women receiving prenatal care get them. They include things like checking urine levels for protein, sugar, or signs of infection.
Other non-routine tests are recommended only for certain women, especially those with high-risk pregnancies. These may include women who:
Although your health care provider (who may be your OB-GYN, family doctor, or a certified nurse-midwife) may recommend these tests, it's ultimately up to you to decide whether to have them.
Also, if you or your partner have a family history of genetic problems, you may want to consult with a genetic counselor to help you look at the history of problems in your family and to determine the risk to your children.
To decide which tests are right for you, it's important to carefully discuss with your health care provider:
Some prenatal tests can be stressful, and because many aren't definitive, even a negative result may not completely relieve any anxiety you might be experiencing. Because many women who have abnormal tests end up having healthy babies and because some of the problems that are detected can't be treated, some women decide not to have some of the tests.
One important thing to consider is what you'll do in the event that a birth defect or chromosomal abnormality is discovered. Your health care provider or a genetic counselor can help you establish priorities, give you the facts, and discuss your options.
It's also important to remember that tests are offered to women — they are not mandatory. You should feel free to ask your health care provider why he or she is ordering a certain test, what the risks and benefits are, and, most important, what the results will — and won't — tell you.
If you think that your health care provider isn't answering your questions adequately, you should say so. Things you might want to ask include:
You also can ask your health care provider for literature about each type of test.
The best way for mothers-to-be to avoid birth defects and problems with the pregnancy is to take precautions, such as:

Although life seems to have gotten a quick start on it, the early Earth was a nasty place. Very early on (and perhaps again later), meteors frequently peppered the surface. The atmosphere contained no oxygen, and consequently no ozone, to shield the surface from UV radiation. To top it off, the juvenile Sun burned about 25 percent less brightly than it does today, which should have put the average surface temperature below the freezing point of water.
Except it wasn't. Geological evidence indicates plentiful liquid oceans were present soon after the Earth's formation, and the first one and a half billion years showed no signs of glaciation. This puzzle, dubbed the "faint young Sun paradox," was recognized by Carl Sagan and George Mullen in 1972.
Various factors have been proposed to resolve the paradox. Some have suggested that the Earth was less reflective—due to a paucity of continental land area and decreased cloud cover—allowing it to absorb more incoming sunlight. Other answers have focused on greenhouse gases. A lot of effort has gone into investigating how much CO2 and methane were present, and researchers have proposed other, more exotic greenhouse gasses, like carbonyl sulfide (OCS) might have been present. The atmosphere was likely denser, which would enhance the effectiveness of greenhouse gases.
While combinations of these factors are potentially sufficient to solve the puzzle, plenty of questions remain. In a paper published in Science, Robin Wordsworth and Raymond Pierrehumbert of the University of Chicago have added another possible solution to the list—the interaction of hydrogen and nitrogen in the atmosphere.
Neither hydrogen (H2) nor nitrogen (N2) is technically a greenhouse gas. They can't absorb infrared radiation emitted by the Earth—a fact determined by their molecular structure. However, some odd things happen when they collide with each other. For a moment, the two colliding molecules behave as one larger one, allowing the absorption of infrared energy. This process is known to be an important part of the energy balance on Saturn's moon Titan.
Until recently, it was believed that the early Earth's atmosphere would have contained very little hydrogen, which can escape into space due to its light mass. But it has since been demonstrated that the escape rate would probably have been slower than initially expected, and hydrogen may actually have been plentiful.
When the University of Chicago researchers went about calculating the effect this would have, they found that it could have warmed the Earth by as much as 10 to 15°C. If that was the case, moderate contributions from other factors might have been more than enough to keep the Earth out of the deep freeze. (Then again, another recent study suggests the paradox might be even bigger than previously thought, requiring a larger warming effect to resolve it. In that case, large contributions all around might still be needed.)
Obviously, this collision-induced absorption would only be active as long as the atmosphere had significant amounts of hydrogen in it. When methane-producing bacteria (methanogens) came on the scene, that would have started to change. Methanogens take in CO2 and hydrogen and release methane and water. Of course, methane is also a greenhouse gas, so the story here is complicated.
Because of the specific wavelength of infrared radiation that methane absorbs, its greenhouse impact is easily saturated at the concentrations relevant to the early Earth. Beyond that point, additional methane won't make much difference. When methanogens arose, they could have quickly driven the atmosphere to that point, so the consumption of hydrogen and CO2 would then have made the net result a cooling one. (In addition, high methane concentrations lead to the formation of a reflective haze that causes some more cooling.)
The researchers suggest it's possible that the widespread glaciation that occurred about 2.9 billion years ago could have counter-intuitively been caused by the biological production of methane. There are a lot of important unknowns in that scenario, however, and the authors note it's "an important topic for future study."
Writing in a perspective that accompanied the paper in Science, Penn State Professor James Kasting noted that the implications of the study extended beyond the Earth. "[T]he realization that H2 can warm terrestrial planet climates could be important for the prebiotic Earth, early Mars, and young Earth-like exoplanets. Large amounts of H2 in a planet's atmosphere could allow it to remain habitable out to as far as [ten times the distance from the Earth to the Sun] around a star like the Sun," he wrote. "[W]e will… need to keep this H2 greenhouse warming mechanism in mind as we decipher our own solar system's history and search for other habitable planets like our own."

Yosemite, cont.
Pictures of Yosemite, and I have plenty, will have to wait until I get home next week. They are not loading and I lack the technical expertise to solve the problem. My technical expertise consists of waiting to see if the problem goes away on its own.
What a great refuge here at the Yosemite Bug. It is the perfect place to work. Quiet, calm, no hassle.

It is so easy to navigate with many ways to find what you're looking for. You can search for fabrics not only by manufacturer and collection but also by style and color. It's like going to the color wall at you local quilt shop! The whole site is so well organized and very easy to find what you need.
Some other helpful tidbits:
- JAQS ships anywhere in the world. Orders from within the US are always $5 or less and shipping is free when you spend over $50.
- Bulk discounts are also offered starting at 2 yards (20 cents off each yard) and 4 yards (starting at 40 cents off each yard!)
- For every $20 spent, you get a $1 back in fabric bucks for your next purchase (applied to your account).
Other new arrivals include Bekko for Michael Miller, Glimma in cotton and canvas for Windham, and Hot Chocolate for Camelot Cottons. I really dig that line and I haven't seen it widely available.

About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

As for Latin…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.
