The question above has been proposed at various times in Russian history. Lenin raised it and believed the obvious answer was Marxist revolution; Tolstoy asked it and found in his efforts to help Moscow's poor that there was no easy answer, perhaps no answer at all. It's strange to be in and around the Vatican these days – as a major war is raging – something that hasn't happened in recent decades and, therefore, puts the same question to inexperienced leaders, Catholic and not. Like poor Tolstoy, they don't have many answers.
Pope Francis has been doing all he can. And the new ambassador from Ukraine to the Holy See, Orthodox by the way, just praised him in precisely those words. He's passionately expressed his opposition to the war. And he's made it clear that, whatever else eventually happens, the mayhem and the destruction must stop. Now.
The problem for the pope, who had little experience of geopolitical realities prior to being elected, is how to get from here to there. Indeed, he tends to reject geopolitics as they have been practiced, and always will, given our fallen nature both as individuals and a species. At his general audience a few days ago, he remarked: "Today we often hear about 'geopolitics.' But unfortunately, the dominant logic is the strategies of the most powerful countries to affirm their own interests, extending their area of economic influence, or ideological influence, and/or military influence."
Francis has chosen not to name Putin and Russia as the primary malefactors in this conflict in order to keep open channels of potential dialogue. He's allowed Cardinal Parolin, the Vatican's Secretary of State, to be more open about who's to blame. But this denunciation of geopolitics as such gives the impression that all the players in the conflict are playing the same game. They're not.
In fact, he said as much at the same General Audience:
After World War II, the attempt was made to lay the foundations of a new era of peace. But, unfortunately – we never learn, right? – the old story of competition between the greater powers went on. And, in the current war in Ukraine, we are witnessing the impotence of the Organizations of the United Nations.
This may be a common Argentinean perspective, but the Cold War – and its peaceful resolution with the fall of Communism in 1989 – the year St. John Paul II called the annus mirabilis – was not just a matter of the usual great powers and differing ideologies in competition. It was the triumph of an admittedly imperfect and ailing West over a radically atheistic and evil view of human beings and society.
And one of the reasons the United Nations is "impotent" is that it never was constructed in a way that could resolve major conflicts. The General Assembly, like the world at large, consists mostly of nations that are authoritarian, dictatorships, kleptocracies, and worse. It's useless for serious conflicts. The Security Council, which includes Russia (and China) among its five permanent members, is only a talking post when great powers clash.
Pope Francis is right to lament that this is the world in which we live. But until Christ's Second Coming, we should recognize – even as we do as much as we can – that ours is a world in which "wars and rumors of wars" are a permanent feature.
It's important amidst all these complications to remain clear about who started the current war and why it's continuing. Putin has been trying to make it appear – as the pope's words could be made to suggest – that, in fact, the great powers are at war in Ukraine. And specifically that America is engaging in an act of war against Russia by providing arms to Ukraine and is even encouraging the Ukrainians to fight.
Over the weekend, Federico Rampini, an editorial writer for Italy's Corriere della Sera (the Italian equivalent of the New York Times) argued in a TV interview that despite what many people – perhaps even the pope – may think, in fact, the opposite is true. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelynskyy has repeatedly asked for more arms than America and Europe are willing to give. And he's right to do so, Rampini added, because it's one of the principles of international affairs that nations undergoing assault should receive aid from other nations.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson just showed concrete solidarity and personal bravery this weekend, in his quite open visit to Zelenskyy in Kyiv (almost too open in how they walked the city exposed to potential sniper fire). Pope Francis is also contemplating a personal visit, which he should make, if at all possible. Even if he continues to refrain from blaming Russia, a visit by him, like Johnson's, would convey more than mere words about peace, dialogue, or negotiation to a horribly terrorized Ukrainian nation.
The pope's continuing efforts to meet with Kirill, the Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow, are fully in keeping with his office as pontifex maximus– the great bridge-builder. (Just yesterday he called for an Easter Truce – a brilliant idea that may run afoul of another historical reality: next Sunday is Easter for the West, April 24 for the Orthodox.) But given Kirill's total submission to Putin, it would take a major miracle for Pope Francis to change Kirill's mind. Kirill was a KGB asset if not an outright agent, in the days of Soviet Communism. He's remained compromised with the current Russian regime.
Some recent commenters have argued that the pope should declare a break-off of contacts with the Orthodox until things change. But ecumenism is a Western aspiration, not one to which the Orthodox are much committed – even among themselves. Indeed, when the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople tried to organize a Pan-Orthodox "Holy and Great Council" on the island of Crete in 2016, the Russians boycotted the effort.
Kirill and Putin will not cry themselves to sleep at night if "dialogue" is discontinued with Francis or other Western religious leaders. Indeed, they've been working the propaganda machinery hard to make Russian slaughters appear to be Christian resistance to "the anti-Christ" (i.e., the West). Many in Russia believe their lies. Sadly, some Christians among us do as well.

Britain really is broken or at least, breaking.
Daily Mail:
- Stuart Pettman, 43, frogmarched the youth to a station after his son Oliver was shot in Bexley, South London
- But police arrested him on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, after the youth complained and his car keys were mistaken for a knife
- Businessman has decided to move his family to Singapore, saying he has had enough of 'broken Britain'
- UKIP leader Nigel Farage, a friend of Mr Pettman, has written to police demanding an explanation for his arrest
By Rob Preece
PUBLISHED: 04:26 EST, 24 August 2012 | UPDATED: 07:55 EST, 24 August 2012
A businessman was arrested and held in a cell for seven hours after he frogmarched a yob to a police station for shooting his son with an airgun.
Stuart Pettman, 43, was furious after his 12-year-old son Oliver was surrounded by older youths and shot in the head, back and leg.
But after he spotted the boy responsible and insisted he accompany him to the police station, Mr Pettman was stunned to find he was being arrested himself a day later.
Police told him they were holding him on suspicion of assault and possessing a deadly weapon.
The boy he apprehended had made a complaint about him, and his car keys had been mistaken for a knife.
Mr Pettman, who runs an internet service for financial traders, said that officers had treated him 'like a dangerous criminal' by photographing him, taking his fingerprints and making him give a DNA sample.
Police have told him he will not be charged, but he has decided to move his family from their £800,000 detached home in Bexley, South London, to Singapore, where he is opening a new office.
Notice how there is no description of the shooter but there is this lower down:
Mr Pettman's son Oliver said he was attacked after he was approached in Bexley's Golden Acre Park by a group of youths, who accused him of being racist and demanded he kiss a teenager's feet.
When he denied he was racist and refused to kiss the youth's feet, he was shot three times.

Best answer
People also ask
Is infertility acceptable in the Catholic Church?
Absolutely not! The Catholic Church celebrates human life and the family more than perhaps any other institution in today鈥檚 world. The Church recognizes that infertility can be a great cross for couples to carry. The Church is a compassionate and loving mother, and thus she encourages infertile couples to nonetheless try to form a family.
What is the church鈥檚 view on in vitro fertilization?
Church teaching on in vitro fertilization. The sperm used is usually obtained by masturbation, which the Church teaches is immoral. The sperm or eggs used may not come from the couple desiring the child; because one of the spouses may be infertile, it may be necessary to use the sperm or eggs from an outsider.
What does the Catholic Church teach about children conceived through IVF?
Children conceived through IVF also have a greater incidence of birth defects. The bottom line is that the Church views the child as a gift from God, not a right (although the child has rights). For more information on Catholic teaching on the issue, read the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraphs 2373-2379.
Is in-vitro fertilization immoral?
One reproductive technology which the Church has clearly and unequivocally judged to be immoral is in vitro fertilization or IVF. Unfortunately, most Catholics are not aware of the Church's teaching, do not know that IVF is immoral, and some have used it in attempting to have children.

Author; Ward Rutherford
In this lively account of the world of Celtic myth, the author shows how deeply the myths have become embedded in Western consciousness -- from the Celtic vision of the Other World, with its dim forests and howling bare-fanged creatures, to the paradise of Tir nan'Og, the Land of Youth, where birds sing, and streams flow peacefully by in endless summer afternoons. Finally, the author traces the Celtic influence in the Arthurian cycle and assesses its impact on the English literary tradition.

While 40% of consumers more than 65 years old are unwilling to exchange personal information, the corresponding number for those in the 18 to 24 years and 25 to 34 years age brackets is just 9%.
A study by the UK Data & Marketing Association, Global Data & Marketing Alliance and Acxiom found that UK consumers are becoming less concerned about their data privacy. People who show little or no concern about their data privacy has doubled over the past ten years, from 16% in 2012 to 31% in 2022.
Data fundamentalists – those who are unwilling to provide personal information – are declining in number, from 31% in 2012 to 23% in 2022. About 40% of consumers above 65 years of age and 9% of those between 25 and 34 years old belong to this group.
Around 69% of UK consumers stated high levels of online privacy concerns this year, down from 84% in 2012. 77% of those above 65 years of age are concerned about online privacy. In contrast, 54% of those between the age of 18 and 25 are concerned about online privacy.

Throughout development and adult life, the growth and remodelling of living tissues is determined by a complex interplay between chemical and physical cues. Among such physical cues, mechanical tension is emerging as central regulator of cellular fate and function. To explain tension regulation, current research emphasizes molecular mechanisms at an ever increasing level of detail. How these local mechanisms are integrated to give rise to global patterns of tissue tension is unknown, however. The goal of this project is to provide a multiscale understanding of tension regulation within epithelial cell monolayers. We propose two pairs of competing mechanisms for tension regulation: fluidization vs. reinforcement and cell division vs. apoptosis. These competing mechanisms are inherently multiscale in the sense that they span and couple multiple levels of tissue organization, from the local actomyosin contraction to the multicellular rearrangement. For each of these competing mechanisms we plan to study how local processes and interactions give rise to global tensional patterns. To do this, we propose to develop an integrated experimental setup to map and perturb monolayer tension at different length scales. We expect this project to unveil the repertoire of mechanisms that epithelial tissues use to regulate their tension and dynamics.

For years, fans have clamored for a Dreamville x TDE joint project (namely: a J. Cole x Kendrick Lamar project), and they were treated to it — well, kinda-sorta-not-reallyish — with Revenge Of The Dreamers III, which featured TDE's Reason on a few tracks throughout both versions.
Now it looks like that Dreamville x TDE joint project may actually be on the horizon with Reason and Dreamville's Cozz taking the first steps.
Taking to Twitter, Cozz revealed that he and his fellow SoCal native have been working on a collaborative project. "Man this project between me and Reason gon' be something special," he said. "Just wait on it."
Funnily enough, one of the first replies to that tweet was from a TDE fan account which literally said what we've all been thinking: "don't drag it like the Kendrick and Cole project we were promised."
Truer words…
Either way, let's hope that the "LamboTruck" co-conspirators drop something sooner than later. I mean, it ain't like anybody's been allowed to go out an do anything for the past three months, so this writer knows that they have a bunch of free time.

This Leading Actor Avoided Acting In Muttiah Muralitharan's Biopic !! WATCH
After so many negative reactions that surfaced in the Internet, Muttiah Muralitharan released a press note requesting Vijay Sethupathi to remove himself from the project "800". The actor accepted the request of the former Sri lankan spinner and announced that "everything has finished" about the project. Now, a report has emerged saying that Dhanush was the first actor who got approached by the producers prior Vijay Sethupathi. The "Asuran" actor, firmly denied to act as Muttiah Muralitharan due to the politics involved in his life, reports suggested.
Followed by the enormous number of fans, Tamil cinema celebrities started raising voice against the project of Vijay Sethupathi as "Muttiah Muralitharan". A hashtag saying "Shame on Vijaysethupathi" trended in the micro blogging social media site after the motion poster of project "800" released in youtube. The only motto of the people those who opposed the project was to make Vijay Sethupathi leave the project. They didn't want him to represent the flag of Sri lanka and Muralidharan who is highly believed to be an individual who supported Sri lanka during war.
Days after releasing a press note justifying his earlier statement (Read : Muttiah Muralitharan's Emotional Statement On The Hatred He Is Receiving !!) Muralitharan issued another note, requesting Vijay Sethupathi to leave the project. "I don't like an artist like Vijay Sethupathi getting affected for choosing to act in my life story. Not that alone, I don't want him to face hurdles in future for acting in my life story. So I ask him to remove himself from this project" Murali said in his statement.
நன்றி.. வணக்கம் 🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/PMCPBDEgAC— VijaySethupathi (@VijaySethuOffl) October 19, 2020
Responding to his request, Vijay posted a tweet writing "Nandri, Vanakkam" (Thanks and Greetings) to put a full stop to the controversy. Now, the reporters of Valapiechu youtube channel has said that Dhanush was initially approached to do the film. "The makers of the film followed him for six long months. Dhanush denied to do it, realizing the controversial subject of the film. However, they continued following him but Dhanush firmly denied to do the role" they said in their video.
Watch the video below :

They also said that Ken Karunas was also approached to do the role of childhood Muttiah Muralitharan. "As soon as getting the opportunity, Ken contacted director Vettri Maaran and asked his suggestion. The filmmaker advised him not to act in the film, considering the past of Murali" the reporters said.
It is notable that Teejay who debuted in "Asuran" as Dhanush's elder son was also approached to do the younger version of Muttiah Muralitharan. "It did not sound right to me. My mother is an Eelam Tamil. There was a lot of cruelty involved in the war and I did not want to get involved in the politics of the film's narrative." Teejay said while talking about why he rejected the role. Yes, the promising actor said "no" to the makers of "800".
He also posted a tweet in his official twitter account, writing "I stand by my decision & I'm thankful for all the support Folded hands My mother tongue is where I come from. #Tamil I love anna @VijaySethuOffl He was one of the people who advised me to be careful and pick the right scripts. Hope he takes the right decision on this"

Exciting family holiday in Peru
Description of Exciting family holiday in Peru
Peru is without doubt our favourite location in South America with an inordinate amount of exciting activities and incredible landscapes ensuring family holidays will never be the same, ever again.
From mesmerising market places and interesting archaeological sites to one off eco-systems thriving deep within the Amazon rainforest in places like Puerto Maldonado, Peru is absolutely jam packed with a huge variety of things to see and do to keep the whole family happy and active all day long.
This 15 day tailor made tour invites families into the realm of the Incas where Machu Picchu can be reached on a day excursion or, perhaps, via a three day hike on the legendary Inca Trail. A great idea for kids who don't insist on needing a carry.
After trekking or visiting the lost city of the Incas you'll have time to explore around Arequipa, Cusco and Lake Titicaca with opportunities to cycle through the Sacred Valley allowing further insight into Peru's ancient heritage as well as the rural village lifestyles that you'll find today.
There's loads to keep adventurous kids engaged for hours with rainforest romps, ancient ruins, hiking, horse riding and river rafting expeditions all adding to a varied and exciting itinerary, perfect for intrepid explorers.
Staying with a local family on Lake Titicaca is certainly one way to find out more about the food and the lifestyles of local Peruvians and the contrast of shopping at Pisac market is beyond compare to what you'll be used to back home.
Get involved, help out with daily chores, haggle at the market or try your hand at cooking, watch condors wheeling overhead in Colca Canyon, feed the llamas or fish for piranhas; this is your chance to pick and choose your own South American adventure.

Travel guides
Responsible Travel
PlanetWe operate all of our tours in Peru in conjunction with a local partner that shares our environmental values and support these within Peru. They admire nature and cultural heritage, contributing actively and voluntarily towards economic, social and environmental improvement, with the utmost respect for different cultures and traditions. It is important to us to operate in a responsible manner and we are committed to preserving the areas into which we travel.
In general in Peru we use small locally owned and family run accommodation which has been built (and furnished) using local materials, and we try to minimise unnessary extra flights when we could take a bus.
By visiting places such as Coporaque village, travellers will witness the more traditional rural way of life and learn about the importance of working on the land.
Our UK office is run as environmentally as possible. The majority of our staff either walk or cycle to work and we operate a primarily paper free environment. We do not produce brochures (which often leads to a lot of waste) but market our tours exclusively on the internet.
PeopleOur tours in Peru are always escorted by an English speaking driver or guide who are central to the experience provided to travellers. Local guides offer a great way to find out more about local ways, speak the language, understand the day-to-day life going on and are often the gateway to a better experience of Peru. We ask the drivers to ensure that they stop frequently in local villages and markets so that our guests are able to stop off and explore.
As our trips are tailor made for families, we travel in small groups which minimises the impact we make travelling through lesser visited places. The drivers and guides will assist with the purchasing of (delicious) local fruits and will often take travellers to small establishments. This all helps to provide much needed income for small rural communities, making sure our money reaches as many people as possible, whilst at the same time providing a wonderful experience for travellers.
Most programmes will also involve a visit to a school or village which provides our guests (and particularly the children) with a fascinating insight in to the local way of life and culture.
Our drivers are also able to provide advice on how to behave appropriately when travelling in Peru, for example how to behave when going into someone's house and if it is really okay to take that photo (sometimes a local person will give reluctant permission just to be polite).
We value the team of people who work with us, encourage them in ideas for new initiatives and we encourage all positive feedback.

I've often read that Git uses the directed acyclic graph (DAG) data structure, with each commit as a node, and things like branches and tags as pointers to nodes.
But when I try to visualize my commit history using tools like gitk, it looks more like a tree than a graph since every parent-child relationship is directed one way.
So, what's the difference between a DAG and a tree, specifically with regards to Git?

In Europe, synthetic cannabinoids were first identified in 2008 in different vegetable mixtures, called "herbal mixture" or "herbal blend", and sold as incense or air fresheners. There are products called "Spice" and sold as "not for human consumption" but despite what is stated on the labels, these "Spice" products contain synthetic cannabinoids and can produce similar effects in the consumer, when not superior, to those of cannabis. The first synthetic cannabinoids identified in this type of products are JWH-018 and JWH-073. Synthetic cannabinoids were detected in Italy from 2010 (first notification collected by the National Early Warning System).
The analyses of "herbal mixture" products, carried out by several international laboratories, showed the existence of several other synthetic cannabinoids, including, for example, JWH-122, JWH-200, JWH-250, JWH-251, JWH-081, JWH-398, JWH-019, HU-210 and CP-47,497 including its analogues with the alkylic chain C6, C8 and C9. These molecules act on CB1 receptors responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis, mimicking the effects.
Chemical structures of the main synthetic cannabibnoids

CP-47,497 C8 (R2=R3=R4=H, R1=ethyl
CP-47,497 C9 (R2=R3=R4=H, R1=propyl

JWH-122 (R1=metile, R3=H, R2=butyl)
JWH-081 (R1=OMe, R3=H, R2=butyl)
RCS-4 (R1=OMe, R2=R4=H, R3=butyl)
WIN 48,098 (R1=OMe, R2=H, R3=4-morpholinmethyl, R4=methyl)
The in vitro activity of JWH-018 and JWH-073 and its analogs JWH-019 is higher than that of δ9-THC. The CP 47,497 exhibits agonist activity on CB1 receptors from 3 to 28 times higher than that of δ9-THC. For this reason, consumers often use them considering as a natural alternative to cannabis, but with similar psychotropic activity. Furthermore, because of the ability of the synthetic cannabinoids identified to act as agonists on the CB1 receptors, it is possible to easily develop tolerance to these molecules.
Assumption and effects
Synthetic cannabinoids are usually assumed by smoking through the consumption of cigarettes containing herbal substance containing these synthetic molecules. The effects of synthetic cannabinoids are similar, if not higher than, that caused by the consumption of cannabis. Their assumption, in fact, generates, after ten minutes, conjunctivitis, tachycardia, xerostomia and alteration of perception and mood, with effects that last for about six hours. In Germany, since 2009, there have been cases of people arriving in the emergency room after the consumption of "herbal mixture" with disorders of the cardiovascular system and the nervous system, such as tachycardia and a temporary loss of consciousness. In some cases, effects have been reported such as psychomotor agitation, panic attacks, confusional states, convulsions. Similar cases have been reported in Sweden, Austria, Romania and Italy. Cases of serious cardiovascular effects (eg, acute coronary syndrome, severe and prolonged bradycardia) and neuro-behavioral (eg, acute psychosis) are now already reported in the scientific literature and also found in the Italian series.
Acute intoxications in Italy
Since 2010, in Italy, the National Early Warning System, through notifications of its collaborating centers, has recorded 41 cases of acute intoxications related to the consumption of products found to contain synthetic cannabinoids, for which it was necessary the access to the emergency unit. The majority of cases were recorded in Northern Italy and included patients between 14 and 55 years old.
Intoxication cases by synthetic cannabinoids that needed the access to the emergency unit, registered by the National Early Warning System starting from 2010, name of products consumed by the patients and synthetic cannabinoids identified in samples analyzed.

Legal status
In Italy, following numerous cases of acute intoxication related to the consumption of herbal mixtures containing synthetic cannabinoids JWH-018 and JWH-073, these two molecules have been placed under regulatory control in June 2010 (Table I of the laws concerning the regulation of narcotics and psychotropic substances, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of drug addiction of Presidential Decree 309/90 as amended).
Subsequently entered into force new decrees that have placed under control other synthetic cannabinoids listed below: JWH-250; JWH-122; AM-694; CP 47,497; CP 47,497 C8 homologue and structure analogues derived from 3-phenylacetylindole; from the 3-(1-naphtoyl)indole and from the 3-benzoylindole.
These molecules are not easily detectable to the normal screening tests on urine but are subsequently detected through blood tests and urine tests conducted in specialized laboratories. In case of positivity to synthetic cannabinoids driving a car, motorcycle or scooter, the law enforcement may withdraw the license, impound the vehicle, impose fines, make report to the Prefecture, pick up your passport.

"Pokemon Go" Announces Alola Region Forms Are Coming Soon
Pokemon GO took the world by storm when it was released two years ago. Droves gamers could be seen taking over street corners and destinations that were labeled gyms. In recent months, it appears that the hype has died down. While there are still millions Pokemon trainers wandering the streets, it feels like their numbers have dwindled. That is all about to change.
Pokemon Go developer Niantic announced that the game will be receiving an update that will add even more Pokemon to the catalog catchable characters. Pokemon that were originally discovered in Kanto, but exist in the Alola region, will be making their way onto the mobile game. The ficial press release from Niantic reads:

Electrifying everything means New York families will spend more for less comfort.
If we follow the path outlined in the CLCPA, New York families will experience severe financial pain. Undoubtedly, those who can least afford it will suffer the most. Most NY families don't have the disposable income to pull out a perfectly functioning gas boiler or furnace, even if there are incentives. They can't afford the sudden expense of an electric car. That's one reason it's so important to explore improvements that can be made with existing fuels.
There are three main areas where implementation of the CLCPA will likely result in big, new expenses for NY families and businesses: taxes, heat pump conversion, and increased energy rates.
The CLCPA Scoping Plan calls for a program called "cap-and-invest." It sounds simple enough, but when you peel the covers back, you find a carbon tax on fossil fuels — even cleaner burning ones — to artificially make them more expensive. This would affect anyone who buys gasoline, natural gas, propane gas, heating oil or electricity (since any electric utility that uses fossil fuels would have to pay this tax and pass it on to the consumer). A similar plan introduced in 2021 called for the tax to increase yearly to make it harder and harder for people to use their existing heating systems.
Under "cap-and-invest," you would have to pay more to drive your kids to school, get to work, take a shower, cook dinner or simply stay warm in your own house. The first version of this plan called for households to pay about $750 annually to start, with the pain increasing every year. Over 10 years, it is estimated to cost NY homeowners more than $20,000* for heating fuel and gasoline. It can be expected to show up in increased rent as well.
For more, check out "Cost of Cleaner Air Could Be Another 55 Cents Per Gallon," which appeared in the Times Union, in April 2021.
*Calculations of carbon tax based on the following language in A77 and S3336: Tax would be set at "thirty-five dollars per ton of carbon dioxide equivalency and shall increase by fifteen dollars per ton of carbon dioxide equivalency annually to a maximum of one hundred eighty-five dollars per ton of carbon dioxide equivalency."
Although the specifics of its financial penalties remain hazy, the CLCPA implementation will almost certainly involve some form of a surcharge. Initially, fossil fuels will be banned from new construction. By 2030, existing homes will likely face penalties for heating with natural gas, propane gas or heating oil furnace.
Proponents of heat pumps like to say that it only costs $7,000 to install a new heat pump. But that's incredibly misleading. A single head heat pump might heat/cool a room or two. But an entire house? Get ready to shell out upwards of $20,000+ for a complete conversion. It is no simple thing.
Results reported from three different heat pump conversion programs run by the New York State Energy Research Development Agency (NYSERDA) and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MCEC) confirm that typical homeowners would need to pay $20,000-$25,000 for a whole house conversion to heat pumps. A high efficiency gas furnace might cost ⅓ to ½ of this. Now consider that NY already has the 9th highest electric rates in the country.
And cost doesn't even address how uncomfortable many people feel using a heat pump in cold temperatures. It simply cannot provide the strength, consistency or quality of heat that a furnace or boiler does. Perhaps that's why the Boston Globe reported that despite significant incentives, less than 500 homes had been converted to Heat Pump in MA in 2020, despite a goal of 100,000 per year.
Most advocates of electrify everything don't even try to argue that costs won't rise. In fact, they're counting on it.
NYISO is the independent system operator that manages New York state's bulk power system and wholesale energy market. Speaking about the massive infrastructure investments that will be needed to "maintain reliability of the system as the grid radically changes," Dewey has submitted to regulators a carbon-pricing plan to add a "yet-to-be-determined price into every energy market transaction."
So expect the cost of natural gas, electricity, oil and gasoline to rise, along, no doubt, with electricity. NY already has the 9th highest cost of electricity in the entire US. The Indian Point nuclear power plant went off line in April 2021, just as electricity demand is scheduled to surge. Other sources of nuclear power are in danger of closure as well. How do you think that will affect electric rates?
Who will this hurt the most?
We need to ensure that the path to zero emissions doesn't leave those least able to pay behind. The CLCPA purports to be focused on the interests of everyday families, but the reality is less reassuring. Wealthy residents have the means to pay new taxes and cover pricy system conversions. Some lower-income households may receive subsidies for updates. But a considerable number of working and middle-class families will have to shoulder the cost of this law.
In "California's Natural Gas Bans Are Drawing Fire from Black and Latino Leaders," which appeared in Forbes last December, energy reporter Robert Bryce describes problems that CA's version of electrify everything is creating among traditionally disadvantaged groups.
Everyday NY families have less disposable income to cover the huge costs of converting to heat pumps, even with expected incentives. They can't afford the sudden expense of an electric car to avoid additional taxes. Many families can expect to drain their savings to comply with this law.
The truth is that when families have access to a reasonable number of choices among low- and zero-carbon fuels, including natural gas, propane gas and biofuel heating oil, they can choose those that work for their income.

Bengt-Olaf Schneider and Andreas Schilling VIRIM, a real-time direct volume rendering system is evaluated for medical applications. Experiences concerning the hardware architecture are discussed. The issues are the flexibility of VIRIM, the restriction to two gradient components only, the duplication of the volume data sets on different modules, the size of the volume data set, the gray-value segmentation tool, and the support of algorithmic improvements like space- leaping, early ray-termination and others.It turned out that flexibility is the main benefit and absolutely necessary for VIRIM. Given this flexibility the application areas of real-time rendering systems increase dramatically: Most of the user requirements focus now not on visualization but on general volume data processing. The most serious bot tleneck of VIRIM is the limited volume memory that is inte grated on the first prototype. 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z Latency- and Hazard-Free Volume Memory Ar chitecture for Direct Volume Rendering Boer, M. de Gropl, A.

Bengt-Olaf Schneider and Andreas Schilling The computational power required for direct volume rendering like ray-casting or volume ray-tracing can be provided by high speed rendering architectures. However the increasing proces sor speed makes a performance bottleneck obvious - the vol ume memory. This paper describes a volume memory architec ture that achieves at least a tenfold speed-up in read-out rate with moderate additional hardware. It has been simulated suc cessfully. A multi-level cache system is used with software prefetching and latency hiding. Pre- and postcaches addi tionally speed up the read-out rate so that a 5123 data set stored in a single memory module can be rendered at 3.125 Hz. 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z Cube-4 Implementations on the Teramac Custom Computing Machine Kanus, Urs Meißner, Michael Straßer, Wolfgang Pfister, Hanspeter Kaufman, Arie Amerson, Rick Carter, Richard J.

Cube-4 uses a slice parallel ray-casting algorithm that allows for a paral lel and pipelined implementation of ray-casting with tri-linear interpolation and surface normal estimation from interpolated samples. Shading, classification and compositing are part of rendering pipeline. With the partitioning schemes introduced in this paper, Cube-4 is capable of rendering large datasets with a limited number of pipelines. The Teramac hardware simulator at the Hewlett-Packard research laboratories, Palo Alto, CA, on which Cube-4 was implemented, belongs to the new class of custom computing machines. Teramac combines the speed of special-purpose hardware with the flexibility of general-purpose computel's. With Teramac as a development tool we were able to implement in just five weeks working Cube-4 prototypes, capable of rendering for example datasets of 1283 voxels in 0.65 seconds at 0,96 MHz processing frequency. The performance results from these implementations indicate real-time performance for high-resolution data-sets. 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z Graphics Algorithms on Field Programmable Function Arrays Smit, Jaap Bosma, Marco https://diglib.eg.org:443/handle/10.2312/EGGH.EGGH96.103-108 2022-03-28T07:55:34Z 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z Graphics Algorithms on Field Programmable Function Arrays Smit, Jaap; Bosma, Marco Bengt-Olaf Schneider and Andreas Schilling The amount of energy consumed in basic CMOS building blocks, like external RAM, external bus-structures, multipliers, local (cache) memory and on chip bus-structures, is analyzed thoroughly to find ways for substantial improvement of the power consumption of high speed graphics algorithms: A Field Programmable Function Array capable of low-power execution of a wide range of algorithms is introduced.
