Thinking about and addressing the issue of death as a natural consequence of life is often a situation that is difficult to handle and that involves a level of difficulty. This difficulty is amplified substantially when the specific topic one addresses with respect to death is suicide. It is difficult to understand and explain why some people decide to commit suicide, while others in a similar or worse situation do not. This behavior undoubtedly results from a complex interaction of biological, psychological, social, cultural and environmental factors.
Therefore, studies about this issue are clearly important and relevant as Werlang et al.1 emphasize, suicidal behavior includes a central aspect related to suffering, regardless of the point of view according to which it is analyzed. One can think about the suffering that leads an individual to a suicidal act, of the suffering endured by the family who have seen one of their members commit suicide, as well as the social consequences of that act.
In that direction, it is believed that the basic predominant idea among healthcare professionals is that one should do whatever possible or even what is impossible to help people who are suffering, with an objective to preserve the well being of every human. It is my understanding that certainly this is what motivates Fátima Cavalcante and Maria Cecília Minayo to get involved with the issue of suicide and to coordinate a multi-center study aiming to identify and understand the variables that interact and feed the association between the suicide event and elderly.
The article Psychological and Psychosocial Autopsies of Individuals who Died by Suicide in Brazil describes a study that is scientifically, clinically and socially relevant. The text provides very important information related to risk and protection factors that may enable implementing actions to prevent suicide among the elderly. Several aspects of the article are worth commenting; however, I will address only some of them.
It is my understanding that the article's main point is the strategy used to collect data. I have been studying problems related with suicide for over a decade and I use psychological autopsies because I believe that this retrospective examination resource enables us to obtain important elements to comprehend suicide. This type of evaluation has been making it possible to identify direct or indirect clues related to this deadly behavior, shedding some light on the deceased's intention and their role in relation to their own death. Through the method that is conventionally called "psychological autopsy", an expression coined by Shneidman in the late 1950's2, we can understand the psychological aspects involved in a specific death. Psychological autopsy appears as a procedure that will support forensic pathologists classify suicides (the act of intentionally killing oneself) more precisely in death certificates. It quickly becomes an accepted and widely used procedure. However, because it entailed a complex evaluation strategy that lacked a structured procedure model, and in the absence of the object being studied, namely the victim, a few scholars believed that both the informant (family members, friends, physicians, etc.) and the interviewer could be potentially vulnerable to bias3,4. While aware of this problem and exploring an aspect of my professional education I developed a Semi-Structured Interview for Psychological Autopsies (ESAP) as part of my doctoral thesis 5. My proposal was to allow conducting a study6,7 to decrease bias produced by subjectivity when using this evaluation tool, by investigating the tool's applicability in psychological autopsies, whose data demonstrated allowing a reasonable level of agreement between assessors. Other production8-10 has been generated by this Thesis and the ESAP has already been adapted into Spanish11 in a study conducted in Spain.
Therefore, psychological autopsy is a strategy that is used to outline the psychological features of victims who died a violent death; it is used during a death investigation to help determine how an individual died, especially in suspect cases. With time this resource provided substantial help to forensic pathologists and professionals within the field of criminal and civil law3,4 and also started contributing to confirm and/or identify new risk and sociodemographic correlated factors linked to suicide. Fátima Cavalcante and Maria Cecília Minayo developed and used the "Semi-Structured Interview Guide for Psychological and Psychosocial Autopsies" with this intent. Based on scientific literature they organized an interview guide with 43 questions that evaluate social aspects, lifestyle, mental state, description of the suicide and family-related aspects. I am very happy to see that qualified professionals who can relate with the concern and need to help promote health are committed to qualifying the strategy of psychological autopsy. Scientific work such as this will contribute to qualify the strategy of psychological autopsy so that it may cease to be regarded as a subjective tool that is unreliable and unlikely to achieve the status of an appropriately validated tool.
I believe that one of the issues faced by healthcare professionals is knowing how to predict that potentially suicidal individuals will transform their fantasies and/or ideations into concrete actions5. However, studies such as the one conducted by Fátima Cavalcante and Maria Cecília Minayo make a significant contribution to flag the signs that professionals should look for in life stories and behavior of people as indicative of risk of fatal self-inflicted acts.
Another important aspect of the text is the issue of understanding death by suicide at a certain stage of the life cycle. We know that death can befall us at any moment; however most people wish and expect to achieve and enjoy longevity. Science has made progress and this progress in all areas of knowledge has been contributing to increasing the average duration of life. Therefore, in today's society the number of elderly people has been increasing significantly. There is no more room for the idea that an elderly individual has no future. People are living longer and healthcare has been making it possible to minimize limitations and disabilities typical of that moment in life. Old age is no longer regarded only as an unfavorable process of physiological, psychological and social losses that quickly leads to death.
Although scientific progress is evident and it has contributed to adding more years to people's lives, both worldwide and in national terms, risk of suicide has been increasing with age. Suicide in any age group is a tragic and painful phenomenon that leaves a mark, shocks and places an individual at a point of no return. In fact, it emotionally affects everyone connected12, whether directly or indirectly. When self-destructive behavior occurs in old age, its repercussions and the questions it raises are very unsettling and reinforce the ancient view of old age as one where only predominant context is that of decline and loss. Why would an elderly individual who achieves the possibility of longevity decide to take their own life? Has all experience gathered throughout the years not been enough help face difficulties?
The issue that requires careful consideration is related to the fact that in addition to significant scientific progress that facilitates greater life expectancy, it is increasingly necessary to provide support that will contribute to ensuring that people's life quality will improve. In that sense, it is my understanding that one cannot comprehend the special features of old age without analyzing its interactions with the social, political and cultural contexts where the elderly individual lives. In Brazil the ageing process is not accompanied by improvements to the healthcare system, housing, labor and food conditions. The context is one of social inequality and lack of structures to respond properly to demands of elderly individuals.
Data gathered by Fátima Cavalcante and Maria Cecília Minayo are clear and expose the vulnerability of 51 elderly individuals across ten Brazilian municipalities. They committed suicide while tormented by financial overburden/personal or family debt, abuse and discredit, death and illness of relatives, physical illnesses/limitations to their functional capacity, mental symptoms/disorders, social isolation/loneliness/lack of support, ideations, suicidal attempts and suicide in the family.
It is necessary to think about health actions and public policies that will enable bringing the benefits of science to elderly individuals of all socioeconomic contexts in our country. We should understand elderly individuals within their life process; we should become familiar with their potentials and weaknesses and help them maintain their position within their family group and society.
A highlight of Fátima Cavalcante and Maria Cecília Minayo's text is the detailed description of six cases, of the 51 studied using the Semi-Structured Interview Guide for Psychological and Psychosocial Autopsies. The psychological autopsy strategy enables rebuilding the biography of the deceased, focusing on their intentions with respect to their own death5. The cases presented by the authors clearly reveal unbearable psychological pain. One may state that suicide is not a random, pointless act; it is quite the contrary, it is experienced as the best available escape from a situation of conflict for an individual and it aims to provide a solution for extremely intense suffering. The goal is to suspend the painful flow of consciousness, terminating the invading feeling of hopelessness that makes someone feel defeated and as if there is no way out in life3,4.
However, we cannot lose sight of the fact that suicide at any age group can be prevented. The factors identified by Fátima Cavalcante and Maria Cecília Minayo are related to: illnesses and disabilities, depression and depressive states, family conflicts and conjugal crises. We agree that efforts to prevent suicidal behavior should be guided by knowledge about those and other risk factors. We must look at the fundamental actions12 that can be changed in order to avoid and prevent any possibility, and to provide intervention. As highlighted by Botega et al.12, thinking about preventive aspects of suicide means believing that individuals may be offered other possibilities of addressing difficulties or conditions that lead them to seek in that final act some kind of solution for their suffering. Likewise, it is my understanding that addressing the issue of suicide prevention entreats all healthcare professionals to study and acknowledge the singularity of factors involved in this complex situation. This is another relevant aspect of the study conducted by the authors: it produced scientific knowledge to be shared with other professionals.
Finally, I would like to thank the opportunity of taking part in this debate and to emphasize that studies as the one being debated are crucial and will contribute to organize prevention and care measures based on scientific evidence.

I may have run up against the one parameter of business life that will cause me to ultimately throw in the towel. The password.
I long ago ran out of sufficient biological RAM to keep track of my passwords even though I kept attempting to make the job doable for a mere earthling. For the longest time, I tried to use the same password for many different functions against the strong advice of every security consultant that has ever consulted on the topic. But in the last year, I have been increasingly presented with password rules that must be a coordinated effort by computer geeks everywhere to confound my strategy.
My old passwords are forever requiring to be "updated." I sidestepped this evil for a while by simply adding the year I was in at the end of my passwords. Now I am staring at a password page that is demanding I use a "strong" password. None of my standbys register as strong. I am being prompted to use a password with at least three of each — upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers and symbols. Good grief.
I may be getting too old for this.

Sparks Fly for These Small-Caps
There's no better way to dig up small-cap ideas than by going to a conference, and few of these are better than the Roth Conference for great small-cap growth stories. I made the quick drive down to Orange County for three days of nonstop presentations, 1x1s and informal discussion sessions. Since I have already christened LD Micro as the "Woodstock" of small-cap conferences, I will have to christen the Roth Conference as the "Coachella" in honor of its SoCal roots. The best description of the conference is that line from the Macklemore & Ryan Lewis song Thrift Shop, since they were the entertainment last night at the conference: "This is [redacted] awesome!"
The names catching my attention are a mix of some new names and others for which the story keeps getting better.

Extreme Creativity has challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone, to explore my artistic capacity, and to engage with others in a collaborative setting. Most importantly, it has taught me that creativity (as well as art) comes from within and has no limitations.
~~ Susan Venema
"What is Identity? This was one of the foremost topics we discussed as a class. Indeed identity can be defined as a recognizable appearance. It is also our personality and what sets us apart from others. Primarily, I think I learned that identity is falsified through portraiture because it creates a mask. As Myra Greene stated, 'pictures do not speak the truth.' Therefore, I found the relationship between portraiture and identity to be interestingly intertwined. Portraiture represents a person, but does it provide a realistic portrayal? I think discussing this question as a class helped me determine what I consider identity to be: a culmination of many different things. Identities are too multi-faceted too ever be fully represented in portraits. As a creative piece, a portrait tries to capture the essence of an individual. I remember the first day I walked into the Samek Gallery for lecture and saw Timothy Green-Field Sanders portraits. Taken back by their 'larger than life' presence, all of them made quite a big impression.
I began to wonder if the self-portraits I submitted at the very beginning of the course had a similar impact on my audience. I found the portrait submission process to be a difficult task because I felt none of my photos fully defined my essence. Together they provided a more cohesive understanding of who I was, however they still did not fully define me. Therefore, I agree with Myra in the sense that no one can ever be completely defined by portraiture. And while photos give a great glimpse into people's identities, only our physical 'self' provides the best representation of who we are. Therefore, our class experimented with masks to gain further knowledge on how identities can be construed and concealed. Thus, for our final project, we used our own unique identities as well as our masking costumes to create an interpretational experience for our audience members."

New and old urbanism
|By Joe Torok
Home Tour highlights shades of city dwellingIn downtown Lansing, a pulse beats to the rhythms of urban life, warming up before sunrise, pumping vigorously throughout the workday, relaxing in the evening, then skipping a few beats with the bar crowd before drowsing off into the wee hours of the night.
Lee Hladki, president of the Greater Lansing Convention and Visitors Bureau and a downtown resident living in the new Stadium District complex, describes city living in a similar fashion, noting the daily rise and fall of bustle around his Michigan Avenue home.
"Its kind of like a symphony," Hladki said. "Theres also a smell to urban living, the combination of restaurants and coffee roasting, particularly Paramount [Coffee Co.] roasting coffee here in Lansing."
Hladki, along with his wife, Barbara, moved into Lansing over two years ago, downsizing their large family home in Grand Ledge for a downtown condo. Their two-bedroom, two-bath home is one of many urban domiciles to be featured on the Greater Lansing Housing Coalitions (GLHC) downtown-themed Home Tour fundraiser this year. The Hladkis laud Lansing's walkability, and they appreciate a life less dependent on automobiles. "Theres also a sense of calmness living downtown, because you don't have to get in the car and fight the traffic and find a place to park," Barbara Hldaki said. "Theres an ease about it."
The Hladkis contemporary home is adorned with an antique piano and various pieces of art, including the work of Old Town artists Honora Bird and Richard Galosy, who now lives in California. One highlight of the Hladkis condo is a spacious corner patio, nested three stories high and decked with chairs and a table. It's a fabulous place to sip a glass of wine and watch the sun settle into the surprisingly rugged cityscape of downtown Lansing.
Slightly removed from the throb of Michigan Avenue, Susan and Michael Wey reside in a much more spacious home at the corner of Sycamore and Ionia streets. Their prominent Victorian home, built in the 1870s and also on this year's tour, was originally built for a single family and later converted into apartments before it was transformed back into a single family home six years ago.
Retired machinist Michael Wey, 63, has continually improved the house since he and his wife moved in shortly after the restoration. Wey, who is also an experienced finish carpenter, reintroduced oak trim throughout the home. The house boasts many unique architectural details, including translucent portals — some round, others starburst — in various locations just beneath the roofline. Inside, a Wey-built coffered ceiling adds depth and texture to a bright, window lined parlor in the front of the house.
"Living downtown, we can walk to church, we can walk to restaurants and many state facilities," Michael said. "There are a lot of functions happening on the State Capitol lawn. Ive done many of those, which I never would have before."
Proceeds from the Home Tour benefit the GLHC, a charitable organization devoted to providing moderate and lowincome people with affordable housing and improving area neighborhoods in a variety of ways, including a new Tuesday Toolman initiative to be launched later this year. The emergency repair program will use volunteer labor and donated materials to assist seniors and the disabled with various additions and remodels, ranging from wheelchair ramps to shower railings.

All I want for Xmas is a bamboo computer
- By Christine Y. ChenChristine Y. Chen is a senior editor at Foreign Policy.
Just about every newspaper, magazine, and website has published a holiday gift guide. And inevitably, their lists include lots of eco-friendly products, such as bamboo bowls or bamboo clothes. But how about a bamboo computer? Cashing in on the green trend, Taiwan's Asustek Computer has developed a laptop encased in bamboo. Most laptops are encased in plastic that contain toxins like polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, whereas bamboo is a fast-growing, durable natural grass. Sadly, though, you can't buy it. Asustek has only unveiled a prototype. Maybe it'll hit the market by next year's holiday season.

six Guidelines for Excellent Prom Night Makeup
Make-up can be a very important part of your prom evening appear. Promenade is a specific night and for that reason your make-up need to reflect that. Using a tiny understand how, make-up can take you from normal to remarkable. Appear enchanting and radiant in your prom evening using these make-up ideas.
Las Vegas makeup and hair services
Keep it Straightforward: In the mere point out of Promenade, numerous ladies presume they need to have to layer on the makeup to obtain that trendy, special event look. In fact it's fairly the opposite. Keeping your makeup basic could be the top approach to achieve elegant elegance which will appear wonderful in promenade pictures. The top way to hold it basic is to strike a stability. If you wish to wear vivid and elaborate eye makeup, pick a simple lip adhere and vice versa. Simplicity will leave you looking radiant and refreshed with out seeking more than carried out.
Moisturize: Moisturizing would be the crucial to successfully making use of make-up for any event. Make it a level to moisturize in the months before prom so your skin will probably be primed for application. Moisturized pores and skin will serve as well as a foundation for the make-up and can prevent factors like caked or flakey foundation enabling for any far more even look.
Look for the Red Carpet: Nobody does glamor better compared to the superstars on the pink carpet. Not merely do they generally gown within the latest fashions, they also know (or a minimum of have makeup artists that know) the methods from the makeup trade. Check out movie star primarily based publications and look for make-up purposes that you consider would compliment your costume and your type. Use these as a guidebook when applying your make-up or consider them along with you if you a re obtaining it skillfully applied.
Follow: Don't hold out until the day of one's promenade to use your make-up for the firs time. Within the months top up to the promenade follow putting your makeup on experimenting with diverse color combos and techniques until you discover what works ideal for you.
Stick along with your Design: The prom is really a 1 night occasion but that does not imply you must uncover a 1 time fashion. If you have a tendency to look much better or feel more comfy in brown eyeliner don't really feel you should switch to black for the prom. Exactly the same is true for the eye shadow and lip colour. This doesn't mean you have to put on precisely the same makeup you employ everyday. Rather, use your day-to-day makeup as inspiration for the prom night makeup. Choose colours which are related but include somewhat further to your appearance. As an example, if you adore a tawny eyeshadow, look for some thing within a similar colour but with a shimmer to it. Perform up what functions best for you personally and you will be greater than satisfied using the finish benefits.
Bring the Necessities With you: Even the very best of make-up could get smudged on an motion packed promenade evening. Take a number of necessities with you to be sure you don't have a make-up or hair disaster. Be sure you put these items within your purse prior to you established foot out in the property:
lip gloss/ stick
additional bobby pins
little bottle of hair spray
blotting papers

Positive Space
Positive Space Program
The McMaster Positive Space Program is a university-wide initiative offered through the Office of Human Rights & Equity Services and is available to members of the campus community who are interested in creating welcoming spaces that are free of all oppressive behaviours including harassment and discrimination based on gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
- To raise awareness about the diversity in gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation that exists at McMaster and within the broader LGBTTTIQQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, two-spirit, intersex, queer and questioning) and MOGAI (marginalized orientations, gender identities, and intersex) communities.
- To challenge the invisibility and silence that marginalizes and excludes members of the LGBTTTIQQ and MOGAI communities.
- To provide opportunities for those who are committed to becoming allies to:
- proclaim their support for LGBTTTIQQ and MOGAI persons; and,
- to demonstrate their commitment to equity and inclusion.
- To make the McMaster University campus a more respectful, welcoming and safe space for all members of the LGBTTTIQQ and MOGAI communities, specifically, and for all students, staff and faculty members and visitors to campus, generally.

Ludhiana, Feb 27 (UNI) Biofortification-breeding varieties for increased mineral and vitamin content can provide a cost-effective and sustainable solution to combat malnutrition.
This observation was made by Dr Parminder Singh Virk, Senior Scientist from the Philippines based International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), during his talk to the faculty, students and researchers of Department of Plant Breeding, Genetics and School of Agricultural Biotechnology of Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) here today.
Dr Virk said that due to high per capita consumption of rice a small increase in its nutritive value would be highly useful.
Micronutrient-fortified varieties are likely to have much more impact on rural farmers who grow and consume them as staple food, he added.
Sharing information about the research programmes focused at this novel approach, Dr Virk said that IRRI is developing rice varieties with enhanced levels of iron and zinc and with pro-vitamin A. He informed that currently four PAU scientists are receiving training in this area at IRRI.
Iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency in the world and nearly two billion people are anaemic, he said.
Likewise abut a billion people are at risk for zinc deficiency while nearly 127 million pre-school children are suffering from vitamin A deficiency.
About 10 million pregnant women in India alone are vitamin A deficient, he said emphasising the importance of bio fortified and nutritious food grain varieties.
"It is well known that deficiencies of these micro nutrients result into impaired physical growth, vision, reproductive development, mental development and learning capacity of the subjects" he said while emphasising that India should step up research of micro nutrient fortified varieties particularly of rice which is the dominant cereal crop in most Asian countries and is the staple food for more than half of the world's population.
PAU Vice-Chancellor, Dr Manjit Singh Kang in his lecturer said that there was a need to reduce micronutrient malnutrition by developing nutrient-dense staple foods through breeding techniques.
He said that the proportion of under-nourished population is confined to less developed countries.
Dean, College of Agriculture, Dr M S Aulakh on this occasion said that students should be made aware of the novel areas of agricultural research such as biofortification through developing course curriculum. He added that student research projects should consider this area for their degree programmes.

Bush Plan Cuts Social Security, Without Much "Ownership"
Proposed Cuts in Benefits Dwarf Potential Gains From Private Accounts
Statement by Dean Baker and Mark Weisbrot
For Immediate Release: November 9, 2004
Contact: Debi Kar, 202-387-5080
Dean Baker: 202-332-5218
Mark Weisbrot: 202-746-7264
The day after George W. Bush was declared the winner of the 2004 Presidential election, he announced plans to move forward with a proposal to partially privatize Social Security.
"To the President, "ownership" means losing 40 percent of your Social Security benefits, and getting a few thousand dollars in a private account in exchange. Most people would prefer a secure retirement to that sort of ownership," says Dean Baker, economist and co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
"If the public realized the truth about Social Security – that the program is fundamentally sound, and that there are no big gains to be had by investing Social Security money in the stock market – there would be little public support for privatization," added Baker.
Bush's proposal will phase in benefit cuts so that younger workers will see larger cuts. As an example, a worker who is 50 today would see a cut of about 7 percent in the benefits they are scheduled to receive, whereas a worker who is 30 today would see a cut of approximately 25 percent in their benefit. A worker who is currently 20, and can expect to retire at age 65 in 2050, would lose approximately $200,000 in benefits under the most widely cited proposal from President Bush's Social Security Commission.
These benefit cuts are supposed to be offset by investing Social Security taxes in the stock market. But the 6.5 percent rate of return on stocks projected by the President's Commission is mathematically impossible given current price to earnings ratios and projected profit growth. The stock return consistent with the price to earnings ratio and the Social Security trustees' profit growth projections is just 4.5 percent, not far above the 3.0 percent return projected for the government bonds held by Social Security. Simple arithmetic shows there is no bonanza from investing Social Security money in the stock market. Increased costs from administering these new individual accounts will further diminish this slightly higher return.
Furthermore, Bush's proposal rests on the premise that the current Social Security system is broken and needs to be fixed. This is false.
According to the Social Security Trustees' Report, the standard source for economists and the Bush Administration, the program can pay all promised benefits without any changes for the next 38 years. Beyond that, it could still pay a benefit larger (in real, inflation-adjusted dollars) than beneficiaries enjoy today – indefinitely.
Dean Baker and Mark Weisbrot are co-authors of Social Security: The Phony Crisis (2000, University of Chicago Press). See www.cepr.net for more information.

This page is part of a series on insolation-factors.
An overview is provided at insolation.
The pages are:
sun angle,
air mass,
day length, and clouds and pollution.
Both clouds and pollution scatter and absorb solar radiation and reduce the amount of insolation the falls on the ground below.
This page looks at how different amounts of clouds and pollution impact sunlight's strength.
One of the biggest determinants of the amount of solar radiation that reaches an area is cloud coverage.
If the sun is shining directly overhead in a cloudless sky, we receive around 1000 W/m2 of sunlight on the earth's surface. With light cloud cover, some of the light is absorbed and scattered by the clouds and more of the light that comes through is diffuse (scattered, not direct) and the earth's surface might have to make due with something like 830 W/m2.
Medium cloud coverage could reduce total irradiance down
to 300 W/m2 and low-hanging clouds could bring it down
230 W/m2. If it is really really overcast, you might end up with less than 150 W/m2 in the middle of the day.1
Many of the factors that impact insolation can be precisely forecast on a day-to-day basis. Cloud coverage cannot be. Though general trends in cloudiness can be known, Clouds are capricious and on any given day will come and go as they please.
In the first part of this section, we look at air pollution in the developed world and conclude that it isn't having a huge impact on insolation levels. After that we discuss the atmospheric brown clouds that are greatly reducing the amount of solar radiation falling in many cities in more recently industrialized nations.
The kind of smog that is most prevalent in the US and other industrialized nations is photochemical smog. It is composed almost entirely of ozone (O3 - three oxygen atoms bonded together) which is made when pollutants from cars and factories mix with sunlight and high temperatures (above 70F/21C).
Tighter emissions standards have greatly reduced this sort of smog in richer countries.
For example, in Southern California, the number of first-stage ozone alerts (declared when the ozone concentration is greater than .20 ppm; "ppm" stands for "parts per million") called per year in the late 1970's was about 120; by the end of the 1990's, they were having around 6 first-stage ozone alerts a year.
They didn't have any first-stage ozone alerts from 1998 to 2003 (they had one in 2003). There hasn't been a second-stage ozone alert (ozone concentration at least .35 ppm) in the area since 1988.2
In 1981 researchers measured solar radiation levels during a second-stage ozone alert (ozone at least .35 ppm) in Alhambra, California. At noon the direct insolation was reduced by 40% and the total global insolation was reduced by 15%.3
On a clear day when the sun is high in the sky, the direct insolation is generally close to 85 or 90% of the total insolation and the diffuse insolation is close to 10 or 15%. [The final part of insolation - reflected insolation - only makes up a significant part of the total insolation in special conditions like when there is snow on the ground (see types of radiation for more).]
Putting all this information together, we can see that when the ozone concentration is around .35 ppm, not only does the total radiation level drop by 15%, the ratio of direct to diffuse light also changes:
Instead of being about 85% direct and 15% diffuse like it is when the sun is high in the sky on a clear day, on a very smoggy day the insolation is more like 60% direct and 40% diffuse.
Or, you could look at it this way: of the 40% of direct radiation lost due to heavy smog, over 55% of it is replaced with diffuse radiation. [To see the math: 4.]
Photovoltaic and solar hot water systems can make some use of diffuse radiation but concentrated solar power plants can't. CSP is usually not in urban areas anyway but it is of course true that sometimes urban spreads and effects rural areas.
Since current ozone levels in developed nations tends to be considerably less than the levels experienced in this 1981 study of a second stage photochemical smog alert, it seems likely that pollution doesn't have too huge of an impact on insolation in these countries.
Indeed, according to a book on pollution written in 2006, air pollution generally reduces direct radiation in urban areas by 10 to 20%.5
Assuming (note: as of yet I have not been able to verify this assumption) that the pollution also replaces the lost direct radiation with new diffuse radiation in a manner similar to the one discovered in the 1981 study, the total insolation in a polluted area would be more than 90 to 95% of the total insolation in an unpolluted one. [To see the math: 6.]
Currently, pollution does not appear to be too dramatically altering insolation levels over urban areas in the most developed nations.
However, there is a phenomena known as atmospheric brown clouds that is currently very pronounced in parts of China, India, Southeast Asia and South Africa.
These brown clouds are described in a United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report as "...regional scale plumes of air pollution that consist of copious amounts of tiny particles of soot, sulphates, nitrates, fly ash and many other pollutants."7
The clouds can greatly reduce the amount of solar radiation that falls on the lands beneath them.
The surfaces of India and China are now at least 6% dimmer than they were before the beginning of industrialization. Some of the cities most affected by brown clouds are receiving between 10 and 25% less solar energy than they used to.
A loss of 25% of your total solar radiation is very significant. Air mass only reduces the radiation by 25% when the sun is less than 25° degrees above the horizon.8
[Some of the most effected brown clouded cities are: : Bangkok (Thailand), Beijing (China), Cairo (Egypt), Dhaka (Bangladesh), Karachi (Pakistan), Kolkata (formerly Calcutta; in India), Lagos (Nigeria), Mumbai (formerly Bombay; in India), New Delhi (India), Seoul (South Korea), Shanghai (China), Shenzhen (China) and Tehran (Iran).] 9
If this page has been a help to you
please recommend it with Google+ below:
1. The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System has an article on
Clouds and Sunlight that I used for most of the facts in this section. In particular:
"For overcast conditions, median transmittance percentages with respect to the clearsky
situation of 81%, 44% and 36% at high, medium and low clouds respectively for erythemal irradiance,
and 83%, 30% and 23% for total irradiance were determined, similar to results at mid-latitudes of
the Northern Hemisphere." I then multiplied the percent of total irradiance in the cloud conditions
as compared to clear-sky conditions by 1000 W/m
2. All of the information about Southern California's ozone levels is from "Southern California Environmental Report Cards" done by UCLA's Institute of Environment and Sustainability. The reports are housed here: SoCal Environment Report Cards. All the facts except the one about the 2003 stage-1 ozone alert were from page 7 of the 1998 report card. The 2003 fact was from page 22 of the 2003 report card.
3. This data was from a paper entitlted "Urban air pollution and solar energy." It was published in International Journal of Ambient Energy, vol. 2, Oct. 1981, p. 183-195. The authors were Gammon, R. B.; Huning, J. R.; Reid, M. S.; Smith, J. H. It is housed here: Urban air pollution and solar energy.
4. First we demonstrate this statement: "on a very smoggy day the insolation is more like 60% direct and 40% diffuse." Normally, direct radiation is about 85% of the total typical solar radiation (when the sun is high in the sky on a clear day). If pollution lowers direct radiation by 40%, the amount of direct radiation in the sky is as much as (85% * .6) = 51% of the total radiation under typical conditions. However, this pollution has reduced the total radiation in the sky not by 40% but by 15% so it is now (100% * .85) = 85% of the total typical radiation. Therefore, direct radiation makes up (51/85) = .6 or 60% of the total current radiation in the sky. Since diffuse radiation makes up most of the non-direct radiation in the sky, diffuse radiation makes up about 100% - 60% = 40% of the radiation in the sky.
Now we will demonstrate this statement: "of the 40% of direct radiation lost due to heavy smog, over 55% of it is replaced with diffuse radiation." As developed more carefully above, if pollution lowers direct radiation by 40%, the amount of direct radiation in the sky is as much as (85% * .6) = 51% of the total radiation under typical (high-sun, clear-sky) conditions. Diffuse radiation usually makes up about 15% of the radiation in the sky and so if the pollution did not change the amount of diffuse radiation in the sky, the total radiation would be 51% + 15% = 66% of the total typical radiation. However, pollution only reduces the total typical radiation by 15%. The extra diffuse radiation added to the polluted skies is then 85% - 66% = 19% of the total typical radiation. The direct radiation lost due to pollution is given by the amount of direct radiation under typical conditions minus the amount under polluted conditions: 85% - 51% = 34% of the amount of radiation in the sky under typical conditions. To find what percentage of the lost direct radiation has been replaced with new diffuse radiation, we divide the extra diffuse radiation by the lost direct radiation: 19/34 = .56 or 56%. Therefore, of the lost direct radiation, 56% of it was replaced with new diffuse radiation.
5. p. 29 of Environmental pollution: health and toxicology; Author: S. V. S. Rana; Published by Alpha Science International Ltd. in 2006.
6. As demonstrated in the second part of footnote 4, in the 1981 study, 56% of the direct radiation lost due to photochemical smog was replaced with diffuse radiation. If that continues to be the case when pollution reduces direct insolation by 20%, the amount of total radiation in the sky will be (85% * .8) + 15% + ((85% * .2) * .56) = 92.52% of the total typical radiation. [In that last equation, I added (the total amount of direct radiation) to (the total amount of diffuse radiation if the amount of diffuse radiation had not changed) to (the amount of extra diffuse radiation)].
7. That quote is on page 10 of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)'s summary of their report on Atmospheric Brown Clouds. It can be found here: ABC Summary.
8. On air mass formula we present a formula that allows us to use the angle of the sun above the horizon to calculate the air mass and another formula that allows us to calculate how much a given air mass reduces insolation.
9. All of this information is from the report linked to in footnote #7. The "6%" fact is on page 4 and the rest is on page 11.

Nothing much to report this week, but I suppose I'd better write something.
Chelsea, 2012 Champions of Europe. How good does that sound? Even the sun's come out.
What makes it more remarkable is the way it happened.
When Andre Villas-Boas was sacked in early March, the Blues were facing another season of European heartache.
They were 3-1 down to Napoli after the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, and the bookies were offering 37-1 on 'Chelsea' being engraved on Old Big Ears. The interim gaffer, with Milton Keynes and West Brom on his managerial CV, didn't have a prayer.
Yet Chelsea not only knocked out Naples, then Benfica, but incredibly came from behind at the Nou Camp with 10 men to defeat favourites Barcelona.
Bayern had home advantage in the final, while four of Chelsea's best players were suspended. The stand-in centre backs had just limped back from injury, while the kid on the left wing had never played a European game in his puff.
Bayern scored with seven minutes remaining. Game over. Then Didier Drogba levelled with two minutes to go. As they had done against Barcelona, Chelsea generously gave away a penalty. Once again, the best player on the opposition team stepped forward, and failed to score.
In the penalty shoot-out against Germans, on German soil, the English team inevitably fell behind… then, improbably, triumphed when a drama queen trickled the last spot-kick over the line.
To cap it all, Spurs must cut short their summer hols to play week after week on Channel 5 against teams no one can pronounce, let alone has heard of.
Will Roberto Di Matteo get the manager's job? Who knows.
That's the lovely thing about Chelsea – the utter unpredictability of it all.
It would drive most other football fans mad, but – do you know – it somehow suits the remarkable men in royal Blue in SW6, and their bewildered, tear-stained, overjoyed followers.

Pinnacle Airlines has agreed to fly–at least temporarily–the seven Bombardier CRJ900s Delta Air Lines had told Mesa Air Group it would pull from their service contract starting October 6. All told, Pinnacle now flies 12 CRJ900s as Delta Connection–three of which it took from Mesa last month–and by the end of this month it expects to have deployed 18 airplanes, nine on a short-term lease. Meanwhile, Pinnacle plans to deploy two of its own, now idle CRJ900s "from time to time during the fourth quarter as needed to support the transition of the seven temporary aircraft into scheduled service."
Pinnacle has agreed to fly the seven ex-Mesa CRJ900s until the five remaining CRJ900s Pinnacle has on order from Bombardier begin to arrive in January. As Pinnacle's aircraft arrive, the airline will return the seven temporary aircraft to Delta, which in turn will reallocate them to another Delta Connection carrier. All told, Pinnacle expects to receive its 16th CRJ900 from Bombardier by May.


text: Utah's basketball team took advantage of its long break in between games to rest up and get back to fundamentals. Now, with Tuesday's game against SMU looming, coach Larry Krystkowiak said his team has a fresh outlook to go with some fresh legs. Krystkowiak said the team has had some strong practices in which they worked on rebounding, the transition game and other segments. "We got some guys healthy who had some bumps and bruises," he said. The Utes haven't played since losing at BYU 61-58 on Dec. 8. Since the Utes played SMU on Nov. 28, a 62-55 loss, they've spent most of their time working on adjustments and not as much in talking about personnel, Krystkowiak said. In addition to the usual points of emphasis like rebounding and getting loose balls, Krystkowiak said his team has to take better care of the ball. The Utes had 17 turnovers against SMU the last time the teams played and had 14 against Texas State, 17 against Boise State and 15 against BYU. "We can't have the number of turnovers we've been dealing with lately," he said. "We hope to take care of those elements." At 6-3, the Utes have equaled the number of wins they had a year ago, however, the Utes aren't into comparing last year's season to this, said senior Jason Washburn. "Like coach said, we squeezed everything we could out of last year," Washburn said. "He is an incredible motivator and he took guys and made them believe we could win last year. Somehow we won six games last year and overachieved in a lot of ways, but talent-wise it's pretty clear this team is superior skill-wise and overall better in almost every category."

Why did the United States enter World War I, and what effect did its entry have on the war?
The American people were overwhelmingly against joining World War I, but ultimately entered the conflict based on two events- the sinking of the Lusitania, and the interception of the Zimmerman Telegram.
German U-boats attacked and sunk the British ocean liner Lusitania in 1915, resulting in the death of 120 American citizens. While this event didn't lead to a direct declaration of war, it did escalate tensions between the US and Germany and helped sway popular opinion against the Germans. Later the British intercepted a telegram from the Germans (The Zimmerman Telegram) that would ultimately push the United States into a declaration of war. The telegram from Germany urged Mexico and Japan to declare war on the United States to divert her attention from Europe. Once Germany was victorious in Europe it would aide its two new allies in defeating the Americans. Mexico was also promised that it would regain much of the territory it lost to the Americans in the Mexican-American war.
As a result of these events President Truman successfully petitioned Congress for a declaration of war, and officially entered the First World War on April 6, 1917.

Nuremberg (Nov. 22)
Documentary evidence of the Nazi Government's plans for systematic annihilation of the Jews of Europe was presented at today's session of the war crimes trial here by Major Frank Wallis, on behalf of U.S. prosecutor Justice Robert H. Jackson.
Major Wallis submitted a memorandum issued by Julius Streicher, and also other documents, as proof that the pogroms which swept Germany on Nov. 10, 1938, were not spontaneous as the Nazis claimed, but were carefully planned, down to minute details on how shops and synagogues were to be destroyed, and what clothes the rioters should wear.
He also presented evidence of a meeting, under Goering's chairmanship, held later in November, 1938, at which plans were discussed for carrying out Hitler's order that the Jewish question must be "solved."
Major Wallis' presentation followed the line taken by Justice Jackson yesterday in his opening address in which he charged that "the most savage and numerous crimes planned and committed by the Nazis were those against the Jews."
"It is my purpose to show a plan and design, to which all Nazis were fanatically committed, to annihilate all Jewish people," Justice Jackson said. "The persecution of the Jews was a continuous and deliberate policy. It was a policy directed against other nations as well as against the Jews themselves. Anti-Semitism was promoted to divide and embitter the democratic peoples and to soften their resistance to the Nazi aggression."
"The conspiracy or common plan to exterminate the Jew was so methodically and thoroughly pursued that, despite the German defeat and Nazi prostration, this Nazi aim largely has succeeded," he stressed. "Only the remnants of the European Jewish population remain in Germany, in the countries which Germany occupied, and in those which were her satellites or collaborators. Of the 9,600,000 Jews who lived in Nazi dominated Europe, 60 per cent are authoritatively estimated to have perished; 5,700,000 Jews are missing from the countries in which they formerly lived, and over 4,500,000 cannot be accounted for by the normal death rate nor by emigration; nor are they included among displaced persons. History does not record a crime ever perpetrated against so many victims or one ever carried out with such calculated cruelty."
The determination to destroy the Jews "was a binding force which at all times cemented the elements of this conspiracy," Justice Jackson pointed out. "On many internal policies there were differences among the defendants. But there is not one of them who has not echoed the rallying cry of Nezism–'Deutschland erwache, Juda verreckel' (Germany awake, Jewry perish!)

Now, that's all changing thanks to Hunter Fan, the company known for adding style and innovation to the home. Once a product whose claim to fame was blending in, new attention to detail and design are making the bath fan a fixture that consumers will want to stand out. Hunter used its legendary experience in high performance and quiet air movement to develop a full line of upscale bath fans. The fans feature on-trend metal finishes, glass treatments and styles combining beautiful light fixtures with high performance ventilation fans. "People are often surprised when they see our product on display that they are, in fact, bath fans rather than decorative light fixtures," says Jim Barrett, Hunter Fan senior vice president of marketing and new product development. "They are delighted that they can have the best of both worlds, a stylized light with a high performance fan." Bath ventilation is becoming increasingly important as homeowners grow more concerned about mold, mildew and general indoor air quality. Providing a stylized high performance alternative to the plastic models gives builders and remodelers a great chance to upgrade the homeowner. And with the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) estimating bath remodel projects to be between 10.4 and 11.1 million jobs in 2008 - and spending to reach as much as 68 billion dollars - there's a tremendous potential market for these unique, innovative products. "Even with the faltering housing market, the remodeling industry is expected to stay strong," says Barrett. "Homeowners look to kitchen and bath remodeling as an affordable and easy solution to upgrade their home and increase its value." But the remodeling industry isn't the only sector that Hunter bath fans will appeal to; according to the NKBA, there were 1.3 million master baths, 2.3 million other full baths and 581,000 powder rooms in new construction last year. All Hunter bath fans are certified by the Home Ventilation Institute (HVI) for both air movement cubic feet per minute (CFM) and sound level (sones). Among the many models in Hunter's expanding product range are: Victorian (81021) – The clean, fresh look of this model is achieved with traditional chrome and porcelain design over cased white glass. It is UL® listed for use over shower/tub and provides 90 CFM with 2.5 sones. The suggested retail price is $119.00. Halcyon (81030) – For a contemporary look, this model features a cast chrome deign over swirled marble glass. It is UL® listed for use over shower/tub and provides 90 CFM with 2.5 sones. The suggested retail price is $119.00. La Strada (82022) – This elegant model achieves a classic European look with a hand-painted finish with amber glass and gold accents. It is UL® listed for use over shower/tub and provides 80 CFM with 2.0 sones. The suggested retail price is $109.00. Saturn (90053) – Three beautiful metal finishes are available in this stylish model – Brushed Nickel, Imperial Bronze and Satin White. It features patented EasyLock™ glass for easy cleaning. It is UL® listed for use over shower/tub and provides 80 CFM with 2.5 sones. The suggested retail price is $99.00. All of the models listed above are currently available. Founded in 1886 and headquartered in Memphis, Tenn., Hunter Fan Co. is the world's original ceiling fan manufacturer. Today, the company also manufactures high-performance air purifiers, low-maintenance humidifiers, vaporizers, portable fans and energy-saving thermostats. Hunter fans and other product lines are available in retail showrooms, home centers, and discount stores nationwide. For more information about Hunter bath fans or other Hunter products, contact 1-888-918-4326.

Julia's Brilliant Journey to Belfast & her new German Customer Service Job
Why Work Abroad?
''I became more open and more self confident''
After my training as a foreign language correspondent, I started looking for Jobs on all of the German speaking Job Boards I could find. However, ''In Germany, for me the future didn't look too bright because I couldn't find a job.'' It was because of that that I started looking for a job abroad, ''after I gained perspective I found some interesting jobs''. I found Careertrotter and they found me a German customer service job in Belfast.
How did Careertrotter Help you?
Thanks to Careertrotter, I now have the chance to work abroad and work with people from around the globe, its prettty exciting. In my job you needa lot of patience and sensitivity and I like that because in the end you get to be in contact with thers. My colleagues are really nice and friendly, even the teamleader is very open. ''I really like working here in Belfast''.
I was at ease and comfortable when it came to the interview because the guys in Careertrotter prepared me really well with some amazing tips and where there for me whenever I needed. It went so fast, I applied on the website and after just 1 day of the recrutiers rang me. ''The whole process only took a week. Then I had my new job. Everything went perfectly''
Careertrotter you get 5 out of 5 stars: I love it here.
What do you think about Belfast?
I really like the people most of all, when they go to get off the bus everyone always says thank you to the bus driver and I love that. Everyone is so friendly and open and the city is so diverse, beutiful and full of friendly people.
Any Advice for future candidates?
I would strongly recommend that you trying go to work abroad at least once. I did and now I have friends from various countries, speaking different languages with their own culture and traditions and that great.
I havn't met one unfriendly face and I am more open minded and confident thanks to this experience. I am not sure how long I will stay in Belfast all I can say is that I love it now and there is no end in sight!

"Sydney Allard was that rare and outstanding personality"
Only a few men have designed, built and then put into production, cars bearing their own name. Even fewer, if any, have gone on to build their own racing cars and compete in them, with such great achievements in such a wide range of motor sport competitions. From mud-plugging trials, to hill climb champion, Monte Carlo winner and Le Mans 24 hours third overall, to building and driving the first dragster outside the USA. Sydney Allard was that rare and outstanding personality…
Allard at Le Mans 1953
Allard JR – Back on Road and Track
We have chosen to build the first Allard JR as an exact copy of the car with which Sydney led the 1953 Le Mans 24 hours race. The intention is to obtain FIA HTP documentation, which would make the car eligible to compete in the International Classics such as the Le Mans race. Only seven JR sports cars were manufactured between 1953 and 1955. All seven are believed to be in existence. The last JR manufactured in 1955 carried chassis number 3408.
The first JR's we are building are authentic Allards, as the cars are being built by members of the Allard family, with support from engineers who worked in the original Allard company. This first JR will have continuation chassis number 3409. This could therefore be seen as the restarting of Allard car manufacture after a gap nearly sixty years since the last JR was produced.
For more information on the revival process, please download the Allard Revival brochure here or by clicking on the thumbnail (right).
In the press – our freshly restored Allard Palm Beach Mk2
Octane Magazine recently drove our Palm Beach Mk2. Alan and Lloyd Allard have recently restored this historic car back to its former glory. This car (which has now been sold) was the actual car featured on the Allard stand at the Earl's Court Motor Show in 1956.
Download the Octane article here. Find out more about this major restoration project here. This iconic car has received a lot of interest from collectors and investors alike.

Seriously and with no sarcasm at all, I want to let this go with out comment. Most of my best friends and some of my family are desperate die hard Cubs fans. One of my very best friends pours hot coals on my head by generously following the Reds as well, causing me to ask myself why my heart is so malevolently cold as to refuse to do him the same courtesy. But, the fact remains that I am a deeply flawed individual, wholly incapable of taking the high road in this case.
I know there were real tears shed by real fans as the Cubs kicked the ball around the infield last night. I know many a true fan wondered if the basepaths and not just the walls were coated with ivy after watching that futile display of fielding ability. But the simple fact remains, that for the majority of Northside fans, it simply doesn't matter if the Cubs win or lose. They show up, drink, and act obnoxious (home or away!) if the Cubs are in first or last. Their happiness is only slightly connected to actual performance on the field, and even then only to the extent that they get to sing if they win. Most of them still haven't figured out that Fukudome isn't actually a good player and are all primed to punch him into next years All Star Game (along with their yearly write-in vote last generation's most overrated player: Shawn Dunston). Their reasoning skills aren't heightened by rooting for the Cubs…they don't follow the Cubs for wins and losses; they follow them becuase they like to drink (thus expressing their masculinity) and because bear cubs are cute (thus providing an outlet for their more latent tendencies).
There is (almost) always hope!
Oh, and if anyone knows where I can score a nice Manny jersey…let me know.

Top Tips to Stop Tax-time Identity Theft – Part 1
Tax Time Identity Theft: Part 1 – Tax Preparers | Part 2 – Protecting Computers | Part 3 – IRS & Tax Scams
Tax season can be a stressful time of year for individuals and business owners alike, especially those who fail to plan in advance and then sacrifice focus and performance as they race to meet the filing deadline. But that stress is nothing compared to the potential destruction of your financial reputation brought on by tax-time identity theft. And tax-related identity theft is on a precipitous rise.
An audit published on July 19, 2012 by the U.S. Treasury Department, found that the IRS paid fraudulent tax returns to identity thieves worth a total of $5 Billion in 2011. The study also predicted that the IRS (and therefore, you as a taxpayer) will lose an estimated $21 Billion in fraudulent claims over the next five years. Tax-related information is the Holy Grail of identity theft because it contains virtually every piece of information, including a Social Security number (SSN), which a fraudster needs to defraud you.

Discussion in 'Specialized Terminology' started by nalfonso, Jun 12, 2008.
Se trata de las veedurías ciudadanas que supervisan las obras publicas.
Una posibilidad puede ser "citizen oversight."
Citizen review (group) (panel) (board) (team)
Thank you both, jacoquito and Wobbly.
In the past, New York City has had discussions about a "civilian review board" to oversee police activity. Perhaps that would be a possible translation.
Is it the same as 'observatorio ciudadano'? I would translate it as 'citizen watchdog'.
Thank you, duraznito!

I'm almost 6 weeks post op from a breast reduction. I wanted to know how long before I can start sleeping on my stomach again
How Long Before I Can Sleep on my Stomach
Doctor Answers 4
Sleeping on Stomach after Breast Reduction?
Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction procedure; this operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to returning to specific activities; you may be surprised as to how recommendations may vary depending on specific plastic surgeon preference. In my practice, assuming the use of a supportive bra, I asked my patience to wait approximately 3 months before lying on their chests after any type of breast surgery.
Best wishes.

Sleeping on stomach 6 weeks after a breast reduction
This is certainly a question that you should ask your surgeon. If you are healing well and there are no other issues 6 weeks should be fine.
Sleeping post breast reduction
After 6 weeks I would suggest it is safe to sleep on your stomach.Give it a try and it will be uncomfortable, but unlikely to be harmful. Remember trying to touch your toes can be uncomfortable , but not harmful, just be sensible

Sleep on your stomach after breast reduction only when your plastic surgeon says it's okay.
It's really not proper for plastic surgeons in this forum to issue postoperative instructions. This needs to be defined by your plastic surgeon.

The apostle Paul promised that all Scripture is useful for teaching, but there are some bizarre stories in the Bible that challenge us on this promise. In this series, we will tell some of those stories and apply them to our daily walk with Jesus.
So, grab your Bible to follow along and make sure the stories are real! And may these stories prompt you to mine the Scriptures more closely to see what other amazing things God has done in the lives of His people.
