In the 2000s, the question of how strong agreement is
among climate scientists that climate change is happening and that
it's human-caused began to gain prominence.
A few papers
sought to
answer the question using various different
approaches, ultimately pinning the level of consensus at around
97 or 98 per cent.
Last year, a study by
University of Queensland climate scientist and founder of the
Skeptical Science website, John Cook, revisited consensus on
climate change within the scientific literature.
The researchers examined 12,000 studies. Similar to
other studies, Cook et al.
concluded that 97 per cent of the papers that expressed a
position on the causes of climate change pointed to human activity
as the main driver.
The study received a lot of media coverage at the
time, ranking
11th among new science papers receiving the most attention
online in 2012, and even earning a mention from the US president.
But it's alsoprompted some heated discussion.
Most recently, economics professor Richard Tol
published a
critique of the paper in the journal Energy Policy. Tol
takes no issue with the paper's conclusion about an overwhelming
scientific consensus in the literature. Instead, the crux of his
argument is with specifics of the methodology.
Consensus is complicated. And reducing a complex
question to a simple number is going to be fraught. So why do it?
We asked climate scientists what consensus means to them, if it can
be measured and how they use consensus in their own work.
Why measure consensus?
Climate scientists overwhelmingly agree that recent
warming is being driven by human activity rather than by naturally
occurring processes. That's typically what people mean when they
talk about a 'scientific consensus' on climate change.

Does the weather affect people's views on climate
change? A
new paper looks at how people link the two, and finds the
British public focus on wet weather rather than rising temperatures
when worrying about climate change.
But working out whether people revise their concern about
climate change based on the weather is a more complicated task.
Existing attitudes
The researchers from Leeds University asked people whether they
thought the weather had become more changeable and, if so, in what
way. They then asked the same people about the seriousness of
climate change in order to compare their responses.
They found that people who were already concerned about climate
change tended to think the weather had become more changeable. This
was true regardless of the respondents age, gender, or educational
background. Co-author Dr Andrea Taylor tells Carbon Brief:
"We observed an association between
perceptions of changes in weather and beliefs about climate change,
which may indicate that experience of recent weather does impact on
people's concerns about climate change."
That finding led the BBC to report that the research
shows extreme
weather changes people's perception of climate change.
But that conclusion is slightly premature. The people who
thought the weather had become more changeable already had strong
views on climate change.

There could be a wealth of shale oil resources in the
south of England, according to a report released last month. But
despite the increased greenhouse gas emissions associated with
ramping up oil production, the report barely featured in print
newspapers' climate change coverage.
That's in stark contrast to a similar report on shale
gas released almost 12 months ago.
In late May, the British Geological Survey (BGS) released a
report suggesting there could be as much as
4.4 billion barrels of oil locked in the UK's shale
Shale gas has been a big story, and you might expect news of the
report to filter into climate change coverage, particularly since
the climate implications of a BGS
report on shale gas last June had a significant
But that hasn't been the case. This just wasn't a climate change
story - and the lack of shale gas made it a much smaller media
moment that earlier in the year. Our analysis of all articles
printed in the UK's major papers shows there were 349 mentioning
climate change in April, significantly down on last year.
That's not to say climate change wasn't mentioned at all in
relation to the report.
Guardian notes that a key objection to fracking - the
method for extracting fuel from shale rock - is that it can
"accelerate climate change" as potent greenhouse gases leak from
the wells. Likewise, the
Daily Mail carries a quote from a Greenpeace activist
objecting to the practice as it adds to "carbon pollution" - an
alternative term for increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
None of the other major daily newspapers reported the climate
implications of the report's findings, however. Instead, they
focused on a set of
policies to compensate homeowners near fracking sites.
Oil is principally used for heating or as a transport, not for
power generation. As such, there isn't any debate about it
displacing more carbon intensive fossil fuels in the power sector,
as there is with
shale gas. The community payoffs announced alongside BGS's
estimate may simply have been a more obvious angle.
Does giving a problem a different name increase public
support for solving it? It depends which poll you look at.
Yesterday, the
Guardian reported a new survey showing people care more
about climate change when it's called "global warming". But two
weeks ago,
Mother Jones said polling shows "it doesn't matter" which
label is used.
The Guardian story is based on a
Yale Project on Climate Change Communication survey. Mother
Jones looked at Gallup
polling data.
So why the difference? And does it actually matter which terms
are used?
It doesn't matter
With polling, you get out what you put in - the questions asked
in polls affect the answers people give. In this case, differences
in the polling questions, and the focus of the polls themselves,
have meant the two polls come to different, but complementary
Gallup asked two different questions. The first asked how people
how worried they were about a list of eight issues, of which
"climate change" and "global warming" were two. The polling found
no significantly significant difference between the two terms in
how worried people said they were.
To probe further, in a separate poll Gallup asked different
people how serious they thought both "climate change" and "global
warming" were. Again, the differences were slight.
These findings led Mother Jones - via Gallup's own
analyst - to conclude that "The public responds to [the
terms] global warming and climate change in a similar
The pages of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC)'s new reports tells a range of
compelling stories about the huge changes humans and our
environment face as the planet warms.
Trouble is, these narratives are couched in fairly
inaccessible language.
We look at two new pieces of research aimed at
analysing the way the IPCC communicates and improving the panel's
rapport with the public.
Bringing the IPCC to life
For its new
report, 'Science & stories: Bringing the IPCC to life',
communications group Climate Outreach & Information Network
(COIN) interviewed 16 communications experts from UK media
organisations and NGOs.
Do controversies about the trustworthiness of climate
science lead to greater levels of climate skepticism? A new study
turns to people's internet searches to try and find out.
In 2009, a hacker attained emails between scientists at the
University of East Anglia. Subsequent reports claimed the email's
contents undermined the trustworthiness of climate science, and the
episode became high profile enough to warrant its own
moniker: climategate. A
few months later, the discovery a data error regarding Himalayan glacier melt in a
major UN report catalysed similar headlines.
A study published Environmental
Research Letters this week shows such controversies can
cause a brief spike in public interest, but the attention quickly
fizzles out. So does that mean climategate's impact on skepticism
was only fleeting, as
suggest? A closer look at the data suggests it's not so clear
Search trends
The researchers looked at Google searches around the time of the
controversies.They found searches for "global warming" (the black
line on the graph below) and "global warming hoax" (the blue line)
both increased when the stories broke.
The impact of climategate was notably stronger than the effect
of the Himalayan glaciers story, the researchers say - though the
latter also caused a small spike.
It's not just negative stories that got people Googling. The
UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change releases a series of
reports on the state of climate science every six or seven years.
Searches for "global warming" spiked around the reports' releases,
the researchers found. The release of Al Gore's film on the
scientific basis of climate change, An Inconvenient
Truth, also had an impact.

Using pipes to suck carbon dioxide out of the
atmosphere, and storing it underground: doesn't sound very natural.
But what if you were encouraged to think of the process as similar
to the role trees perform in nature? A new study finds likening
geoengineering to bits of the natural world is more likely to make
people feel supportive of technologies that change the climate.
Most people are very attached to nature, and
strongly opposed to processes that appear to tamper with
it - like so-called geoengineering, which aims to artificially cool
the climate. Working from this starting point, a new
study from Cardiff University tests whether likening
geoengineering to natural processes might reverse some of that
negative feeling.
Because geoengineering is a relatively new idea,
researchers talking about it have to find ways to explain what it
is. Using analogies is one easy way, as Dr Adam Corner, a co-author
of the research, says:
"Scientists and researchers
talking about geoengineering are looking for analogies to describe
their research. They may describe sucking carbon dioxide out of the
air as similar to the workings of an artificial tree, or pumping
particles into the air to reflect heat away in terms of how
volcanoes work."
These analogies can be suggested by the way some
geoengineering processes are supposed to work, he says:
"Lots of this language makes
sense in some ways - for example, the idea of pumping sulphate
particles into the air comes from the study of volcanoes, which
naturally cool the climate. Our question was that given people care
so much about nature - and they see natural things as less of a
threat than artificial things - how do these analogies affect our
perception of geoengineering?"
BBC television coverage of the UN's latest climate science
reports was the most likely to portray climate science as not
'settled', according to emerging research. Meanwhile, UK tweeters
are the most likely in the world to have debates about climate
We're reporting new communication research findings previewed at
last week's Transformational
Climate Science Conference, hosted by Exeter University. The
event was sunny, packed, and buzzing with different ideas about how
climate communication is produced and received - including work
reflecting on the Intergovernmenta Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s
latest report.
A Times front
page today claims a leading scientific journal has
"deliberately suppressed" dissenting views on the severity of
global warming.
But the scientific journal in question has dismissed
the claims and taken the unusual step of publishing reviewer
comments on the paper, which show reviewers had raised concerns
about the quality of the research.
The Times front page claims the rejection of work by
Lennart Bengtsson, a scientist at Reading University, by the
journal Environmental Research Letters (ERL) was an attempt to
"reject" evidence that "heaped doubt on the rate of global
But ERL promptly issued a
statement strongly dismissing the claims, saying:
"The draft journal paper by
Lennart Bengtsson that Environmental Research Letters declined to
publish ... contained errors, in our view did not provide a
significant advancement in the field, and therefore could not be
published in the journal."
A measure of sensitivity
The research is trying to calculate something called
'climate sensitivity' - a measure of how much warming we're likely
to see if the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
The IPCC
estimates climate sensitivity is likely to be in the range
of 1.5 to 4.4 degrees for a doubling of carbon dioxide, but
scientists can't narrow the uncertainty any further at the
The Times suggests the journal's reviewers rejected
Bengtsson's paper on the grounds that it disagreed with the IPCC's
The newspaper repeats a reviewer's comments that the
research was "unhelpful":
"The unnamed scientist
concluded: "Actually [Bengtsson's paper] is harmful as it opens the
door for oversimplified claims of 'errors' and worse from the
climate sceptics media side."
From rising flood risk in the UK to record-breaking heatwaves
across Australia, elevated greenhouse gases mean we're seeing
warmer and wetter extremes in our weather than a century ago, says
Dr Markus Donat.
Markus Donat researches extreme
weather at the Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science and
the Climate Change Research Centre at the University of New South
Wales, Australia.
1. What type of weather events do you look at, and how
do you define "extreme"?
My work focuses on temperature and precipitation extremes. In
both cases, "extreme" means particularly high and particularly low
values, compared to the expected range in a given region.
That means we look at peak temperatures and heat waves, as well
as cold spells. For precipitation, "extreme" can mean unusually
heavy rainfall over a single day or over several consecutive days.
Unusually long periods without any rain are also a type of extreme
2. How do scientists measure extreme heat and rainfall
events? How good is the data?
We've been working on creating a global database of
observations, which means overcoming several big challenges. One
issue is data gaps. We have very good observational coverage in the
northern hemisphere and in Australia, for example, but large gaps
in Africa and South America. Sometimes data exists in written
archives, but has never been digitised.

BOYERTOWN ¢ Long before everyone began piling all of their somewhat idealistic expectations on Jordan Wood, well, Jordan Wood was already embracing a handful of noble expectations of his own.
They may have been so similar to the often heard about and even more talked about unrealistic objectives of every young and na've 14-year-old wrestler, too. And while Jordan Wood was indeed young, he was anything but na've.
ōAfter eighth-grade wrestling was over, I set my goals for ninth grade,ö the Boyertown freshman explained. ōI wanted to win the (Pioneer Athletic Conference) championships, win districts, regionals and states, and finish with 40-plus wins. I felt I could do all of that.ö
He almost did.
A mere four minutes, or the second and third periods of his PIAA-Class AAA final with SolancoÆs Thomas Haines, were all that denied the 220-pound Wood of pinning down each and every one of those goals ģ of enjoying that very, very rare perfect season.
Wood lost only once through the first three months of the BearsÆ grinding schedule, that to nationally ranked and eventual national prep runner-up Garrett Ryan of Wyoming Seminary during the Hurricane Classic four days after Christmas. He later defeated defending state champion Nazar Mironenko of Mifflinburg ¢ at 285 pounds, as a matter of fact ¢ and rolled through the postseason as he was so determined to do. Before stepping onto the mats at the Giant Center in Hershey for the state championships, Wood had already collected wins over a combined 16 section, district and regional champions from a year ago, and had won his last 26 bouts.
He ran that streak to 29 in a row before the nationally ranked HainesÆ experience and brute strength was enough for him to win his third straight state title and, of course, deny Wood his first.
ōI came pretty close (to reaching all my goals),ö Wood said after learning he was named The MercuryÆs Wrestler of the Year. ōIt was definitely an awesome run.ö
But except for some teammates, his coaches and a few close friends, nary a soul knows that WoodÆs ōawesome runö actually began a few years earlier ģ when no one, including his own mother and father, knew if he would even be able to wrestle.
During an eighth-grade football game, Wood had what was believed to be an asthma attack. But a specialistÆs prescription to deal with it didnÆt work, then he had another bout with bronchitis. So months later, when he had what was thought to be another asthma attack during the 2010 Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling Championships, his parents ¢ Jen and John Wood ¢ insisted on a chest x-ray.
ōTwo hours after getting the results our pediatrician called and said we all needed to talk,ö his mother explained. ōThey noticed something in his lung and needed to do more tests. All we could think about was cancer.ö
ōI remember everything,ö Jordan Wood said. ōIt was definitely scary. I was sitting on the couch at home when my mom got the call from the doctors, and right away she got all weird. I didnÆt see her the rest of the day because she went into her room. I could hear her crying.
ōAll I know is the first thing I thought of was that this wasnÆt going to be fun, no fun at all if I had to beat cancer.ö
The following day, a team of doctors were waiting for Wood in the emergency room at the ChildrenÆs Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Their preliminary diagnosis was a tumor in his lung, significant enough to press on his trachea and cause strained breathing.
ōWe were at the hospital for 12 hours or so before the doctors told us they saw something in JordanÆs lung,ö Jen Wood recalled. ōThey werenÆt worried about that, though. What they found was that Jordan had a birth defect known as Double Arch Aortic Vascular Ring.ö
Hearing the doctors rule out lung cancer was indeed a relief. But there was still the concern of heart surgery, which Wood underwent on May 5, 2010 at CHOP.
ō(The doctors) had to release the band that grew off his ascending aorta and essentially choked him every time his blood pressure rose,ö Jen Wood noted. ōThe band actually held blood flow but didnÆt supply it anywhere. It just filled with more blood the more he exerted himself, effectively choking him and appearing as an asthma attack.
ōAll along it was the ring. It wrapped around his trachea and esophagus and didnÆt allow food to go all the way down. It would build up until it had to come up. Everything made sense.ö
Wood recovered in CHOPÆs cardiac intensive care unit. He recovered so quickly he was released five days after the surgery. He would end up back at CHOP less than a week later to deal with an infection (MRSA) he contracted in his incision, but as far as the then 12-year-old was concerned, he was fine.
ōI just felt extremely out of shape,ö Wood said.
Funny, soon after doctors cleared Wood to resume wrestling, he went out and won a summer tournament up in Kutztown.
He has won a few more since, of course, including a gold medal in the junior high division of the prestigious Super 32 Challenge. And heÆs made sure not to rest on his laurels, as they say. Last summer, for instance, he took advantage of the open mats program at the Boyertown YMCA to work out with a number of Boyertown alumni and college wrestlers.
And he was the wrestling workaholic in the BearsÆ practice room this past wrestling season, too.
For the record, Wood still experiences an occasional shortness of breath. But itÆs nothing compared to his conviction and execution ¢ to all those wins ¢ that leaves opponents and fans alike breathless at times as well.
ōThis (past) year there was a lot of talk about me, a lot of expectations,ö Wood said. ōI feel I more than met them. But I can improve on them, too. I feel I can improve (in all aspects) of my wrestling. ThatÆs my new goal for next season.ö

The number of young people getting their drivers licenses in the Lower Mainland is on the decline.
Statistics from Metro Vancouver show that the number of people between 16 and 34 with their licenses is at its lowest point in a decade.
Researchers say that the decline in the number of young people getting licensing coincides with the launch of the U-Pass program in 2003, which offers heavily discounted transit passes for university and college students.
Expansion of transit, including the Millennium Line, Canada Line and improved bus service is also credited for the decrease in the number of younger people getting their licenses.
The biggest drops of all communities in the Lower Mainland were recorded in Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond and New Westminster.
The number of drivers in their mid-30s to mid-50s has remained relatively stable and more older people are getting their licenses.

From MMAmania.com:
The official weigh-in event for Strikeforce: "Shamrock vs. Diaz" took place today (April 10) from the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California.
Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos once again failed to hit her mark, coming in seven pounds over the contracted 145-pound weight limit for her showdown against Hitomi Akano. She has several hours to lose at least 2.5 pounds, which would get her within six pounds of her opponent, otherwise the bout will be scrapped.
179 lbs.: Frank Shamrock (180) vs. Nick Diaz (180)
155 lbs.: Gilbert Melendez (154) vs. Rodrigo Damm (154.5)
185 lbs.: Benji Radach (184) vs. Scott Smith (184)
145 lbs.: Hitomi Akano (143.5) vs. Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos (152)*
265 lbs.: Ron Humphrey (239.5) vs. Brett Rogers (262.5)
185 lbs.: Buck Meredith (185) vs. Luke Rockhold (186)
185 lbs.: Waylon Kennell (185.5) vs. Eric Lawson (186)
185 lbs.: Raul Castillo (183) vs. Brandon Michaels (187.5)**
170 lbs.: Zak Bucia (170) vs. James Terry (170)
135 lbs.: Shingo Kohara (136) vs. Jeremy Tavares (134.5)
Note: Fighters are allowed to weigh one pound more than the division limit in non-title fights.
* Cyborg has until 8 p.m. PT to shed at least 2.5 pounds
** Michaels also missed the mark on his first attempt
Certifiably ungood stuff here. I don't know how rough cutting said pounds in that amount of time is for her, but it can't be the optimal situation. That said, MMAWeekly.com reports:
"She shouldn't have a problem cutting that by tonight," a representative of Santos' camp told MMAWeekly.com shortly afterwards.
We'll see.
Update: Baudelaire posted this quote from Sherdog.com in the comments:
If Santos makes weight and the fight, she will be fined 20% of her fight purse, with half of the deduction going to the CSAC, and the remaining 10% to Akano.
Update II: This time from Fiveouncesofpain.com:
Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos has just re-weighed in at 150 pounds to face Hitomi Akano, which is a half pound above the maximum limit set previously this evening by the CSAC. However, the commission has decided to let the bout continue as planned with Cyborg at 150 pounds.
FiveOuncesOfPain.com is on the scene in San Jose where we have learned from Akano's representatives that she is declining on the fight.
Prima facie, all I can say is this: tip of the hat to Akano for declining the fight and a wag of the finger to the CSAC for fudging it for convenience again.

A precision instrument for cutting, personal care, and the unexpected, the CrossCut multi-tool from SOG Specialty Knives & Tools (model CC51-CP) features gear-driven compound leverage that provides big-sized cutting power in such a compact multi-tool. It includes 10 tools: spring-loaded scissors, a knife blade, small and medium flat screwdrivers, a set of tweezers, a nail file/cleaner, bottle opener, pick, and rulers. It also features a lanyard loop.
Compound Leverage has become a SOG patented trademark for folding tools. With the same hand pressure you will generate twice the wire cutting and gripping power than all other conventional designs.
Regularly clean and fully dry your multi-tool, especially after use. When necessary, oil the pivot points with a light oil. Be sure to clean the blade and handle set after each use. A mild solution of soap and water should remove any dirt and debris that have accumulated during use (avoid harsh detergents such as laundry or dish soap, and chlorine products). It is best not to immerse your folding tool in water.
To remove any debris from inside the handle you can use a toothpick for any visible lint or dirt, or a Q-Tip for smaller amounts of dirt and debris. Also, a can of compressed air is useful for completely clearing out any embedded dirt or lint. Apply a light coat of water-displacing oil (such as WD-40 or 3-In-1) or other desiccant (a drying agent), and then wipe down and lightly lubricate the tool's surface and pivot points. This will not only remove any dirt and debris which might inhibit the tool's functioning, but will also help prevent oxidation and rusting on the surface steel.

While the Kick-Ass footage at Comic-Con played well enough for Lionsgate to pick up the movie for release, I've heard the Matthew Vaughn movie is only sporadically brilliant. (I will check it out for myself; I missed an early Arclight screening.) After pirate trailers were posted on the web, the distrib has released the real thing (on the jump).
Based on the Mark Millar comic, Kick-Ass is a super-hero spoof starring Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Aaron Johnson (the precocious Brit who plays young Lennon in Nowhere Boy), and Nic Cage and Chloe Moretz as an unstoppable father-daughter act. Here's my Comic-Con report.

The movie is really a "Kick-Ass" Movie. I do really like this new person to superhero wannabe :D

Maybe I'm not giving exhibitors and TV stations enough credit, but will they use advertisements that read "Kick-Ass?"

Other new solutions include "z" height charging at 30mm and a charging bowl prototype for wearables and AA battery-powered devices
TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- COMPUTEX -- PowerbyProxi, developer of the world's most advanced and safest wireless power solutions, will demonstrate the next evolution of resonant wireless charging at Computex 2014 this week. A first for the industry is a 7.5W, highly resonant charging solution for thin-form devices, such as smartphones and phablets. The solution, which offers multi-device charging and full spatial freedom, is also expandable to power tablets up to 15W.
PowerbyProxi's integrated approach provides significant improvements over the 3.5 to 5W systems being offered today, by enabling high-speed wireless charging of multiple mobile devices. The system is designed to deliver up to 15W of power to a single tablet, or multiple smartphones and phablets. Ultimately this will be backwards compatible with the Wireless Power Consortium's (WPC) Qi standard and forward compatible to resonant v1.2.
"We continue to drive advances in wireless charging technology," said Greg Cross, CEO of PowerbyProxi. "Our contributions to the future specification of the Qi 1.2 standard, will enable better performance and more convenient solutions for consumers."
Z Height Charging at 30mm
For the first time, PowerbyProxi will also demo a wireless charging pad for mobile devices that enables vertical height charging of up to 30mm. This functioning z height distance will enable charging capabilities to be integrated into public locations like restaurants and hotels, as well as furniture and countertops. Charging can occur through materials including wood, plastic and composites along with the ability to charge multiple devices with full spatial freedom.
New Charging Bowl Expands 3D Charging Options
PowerbyProxi's new bowl transmitter with 3D charging technology has been designed to charge smaller, personal devices including wearables and devices using AA batteries. Devices can be placed in any position or orientation, even on top of each other. The bowl, which measures 100mm in diameter, offers a sleek design for office or bedside and complements PowerbyProxi's larger "family" charging box, which can accommodate multiple larger devices such as gaming controllers, cameras or toys.
PowerbyProxi will be offering the preview of its new resonant charging technologies at booth A1013a, in Exhibition Hall 1 at the Taipei World Trade Center starting on June 3, 2014. You can see a demo video from co-founder and CTO, Fady Mishriki, here.

Hard to believe, but 43% of the U.S. population will be 50 or older in 2015. In other words, almost half of the U.S. will be 50 or older in just two years.
With that said, skin care for seniors has never become more important. As the skin ages, it becomes thinner and drier, with reduced collagen production, more disorganized elastin fiber organization, and fewer naturally-produced oils.
Luckily, there are a few things you can do to shape up your skin, but start them slowly and be patient:
1.) Mix potent anti-aging ingredients with bland creams for "step-up" therapy.
Yes, alpha hydroxy acids and retinoids have many notable benefits, ranging from skin-clearing to collagen-stimulating. However, these ingredients can be harsh for thinner and more sensitive older skin.
People with sensitive skin can start treatment with these potent ingredients slowly by diluting them with a bland cream. For example, with 10% or higher AHA and 0.5% or higher retinoids, a dallop of AHA cream and the same size dallop of bland cream will cut the dose in half. Over time, as your skin adjusts to the potent ingredients, you can dial down the use of the bland creams and scale up the amount of AHA or retinoid that you use.
2.) Avoid using alpha hydroxy acids and retinoids together.
Despite internet rumors, you don't want to apply AHAs and retinoids to your skin at the same time. There are two main reasons: First, both AHAs and retinoids increase skin exfoliation,which makes your skin more prone to irritation from either of these potent ingredients. Second is the fact that retinoids have to undergo hydrolysis to retinal and retinoic acid within the skin to be effective, a process which has been shown to be optimized at a pH of 4.5 to 5.5 . This means using a more acidic AHA will not allow the conversion process within your skin to be optimized.
3.) Apply less pressure when you scrub – especially on décolleté, skin folds, neck, and face.
You may have gotten to ripe ol' age with some mix of grace and grit, but when it comes to exfoliation, be careful with the grit and keep grace prevalent. Older skin is more delicate; it's thin and fragile and tends to abrade easily. Start gently, especially in the more delicate areas such as the décolleté, skin folds, neck, etc. The skin of backs and tummies is usually stronger.
4.) Start slowly
Patience is a virtue! Use products with alpha hydroxy acids, retinoids, or niacin once or twice perweek to start. Gradually work up to three times weekly. Eventually, you can get to daily use, but this is a marathon, not a sprint.
When in doubt, see your dermatologist because proper skin care starts with the correct diagnosis. And, remember, don't treat sores or rashes with this skin care routine.

3.85/5 rDev +2.4%
listed at 7% abv on the menu there, not 6, but nevermind that. the pour is bright red, really put my in the holiday mood. its mostly clear and has a nice faint fireside glow to it and a snowy white lacey head of more than an inch. the nose shows allspice and red malt, both heavily dosed. also quite a bit of booze, which makes me think 7% rather than 6 again. the flavor is spiced to death as i thought it might be after a whiff. there is a dried red fruits flavor to this that provides a little sweetness and a cool burst of holiday cheer. could be cranberries or cherries, either way it is outstanding. feel is a little heavy, even for a winter beer, i thought a little more carbonation could have really made this a world class beer. it just needed a little more kick in the mouth. something different for the holidays, i always appreciate that.

On tap at L'amerie a boire, Montreal.
Poured a medium amber hue with a one finger frothy white head. There was good retention and lacing.
The smell featured sweet malts, some honey and a utilitarian hop.
The taste consisted of a combination of sweet malts and a modest flowery hop.
The mouthfeel was toward the fuller side of the style and chewy.
Overall an average malty red ale. Easy enough to drink.

Election Newsfeeds
Yorba Linda Sample Ballots
August 28, 2014 - Today we mailed a little over 40,000 sample ballots to Yorba Linda voters. On October 7th voters in Yorba Linda will cast a ballot in the City of Yorba Linda Special Recall Election. Anyone who is a permanent vote-by-mail voter will begin to receive them beginning the week of September 8th (those who do not receive them automatically every election can request a one-time ballot using the application on the back of their sample ballot or by visiting our website at ocvote.com/votebymail).
Anyone can view the Yorba Linda sample ballot on our website by clicking this link.
Random Draw Tomorrow
August 13, 2014 - Tomorrow (August 14th) we will be conducting a drawing of letters of the alphabet to determine the ballot order for candidates for State legislative offices for districts that we share with other counties. At the same time the Secretary of State will conduct a random drawing (in Sacramento) of letters that will determine the order in which candidates will appear on the General Election ballot.
The random drawing at the Registrar of Voters will take place at 11:00 a.m. (1300 South Grand Avenue, Building C, Santa Ana) on Thursday, August 14, 2014.
Voter Outreach Concert at the Beach!
August 12, 2014 - In our second partnership with the national organization, Rock the Vote, we will be hosting a special concert on the beach tommorrow at noon. The concert features Orange County band Bristol to Memory, which has donated their time to get the message out about the upcoming November general election. The concert is free and will take place at Aliso Creek Beach, 31131 S. Pacific Coast Hwy., Laguna Beach (details on parking can be found on the OC Parks website).
We will be registering voters and signing up volunteers for the November election. Stop by from noon to 2 p.m.!
Election Cross Over
August 11, 2014 - Multiple elections at one time? Almost. We will be conducting the Yorba Linda Special Recall election on October 7, 2014. Just a few weeks later, on November 4, 2014, we will be conducting the Statewide General election. So what happens when two elections nearly cross each other? Multiple ballots can cause confusion - but we have a plan in place to help with that. Voters in Yorba Linda will see yellow return envelopes for their vote-by-mail ballots, while countywide we will be using white return envelopes for vote-by-mail ballots in the November 4th election. Full details on the Yorba Linda election can be found on our website.
From E to JJ - Measure Letters
August 9, 2014 - Yesterday was the deadline for cities, school districts, special districts, and other jurisdictions to decide if they wanted to place a measure or item on the November 4th ballot. We have a record number of measures for a general election (30 in fact). Registrar of Voters Neal Kelley assigns the letters (starting with the last letter used in the previous election) - in this case "D" was the last letter used in June, so we begin with "E". With so many measures we end up at "JJ". We have a complete list of the assigned letters and measures on our website.
Candiate Filing Over: Next Stop Elections
August 8, 2014 – Candidate filing has come to an end (although some contests will be extended). We processed 269 candidates (7 started but did not return). Of the total 119 used our online candidate filing system, which has grown in popularity (and is the only one of its kind statewide). 21 contests have been extended because the incumbent did not file for re-election. These totals do not include city contests (information on city contests can be found with the city clerk in your community).
A complete list of extended contests (which are extended until August 13th) can be found on our press release.
Public Notice of Random Draw
May 29, 2014 - Pursuant to California Election Code section 15360 (d) this serves as public notice that we will be conducting a random draw of 1% of our precincts (in the Statewide Primary Election) to be used in a manual tally of votes cast. This manual tally is used to verify the electronic tally of our voting system and the vote-by-mail tally system. The random draw will occur on Thursday, June 5, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. The manual tallies will follow the random draw and will take place until complete. Both processes are open to the public. Our office is located at 1300 South Grand Avenue, Building C, Santa Ana, California.
It is the Little Things
April 9, 2014 - Tomorrow we begin the lengthy process of addressing over 1.5 million sample ballot booklets - in preparation for mailing to voters on April 24th. The booklets, some as long as 58 pages contain voter instructions, important information on the upcoming election, samples of the actual ballots, candidate statements and measure details.
For weeks we have been prepping our equipment, testing and re-testing. Small jams along the way kept us looking for solutions - and it came in the form of a small bracket. In order to keep feeders from moving in small amounts we installed these brackets, securing important components during the critical feeding process. Sometimes it's the little things that matter.
The Ballot Matrix
April 1, 2014 - As we make final ballot preparations we are using a very important tool - our ballot matrix. This matrix is designed to identify which contests are on each specific ballot, in every city, down to every precinct. Why is this important? We must know, for example, what ballots should include a local measure - and where the line is to delete it from a ballot. In many cases it may run down the middle of a street - so your neighbor across from your house may see a different ballot than what you are voting on. All of this is done in thousands of voting precincts and translated into eight languages.
The Challenges of Electricity
March 30, 2014 - We have been testing our sample ballot printing process for the past several weeks. This is important because we must work through any issues before we begin addressing 1.4 million sample ballots. Case in point - as we have been testing our equipment has continually "popped" electrical breakers - causing severe delays in our testing and rattling nerves in the process. Fortunately we have been able to work through the schematics of the equipment and have isolated the electrical short - allowing us to resume testing and prepare for "live" addressing. This will become even more important as voters expect to receive their sample ballot on time - and because of testing we'll be ready.

9/11/2012 (1 year ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
An investigation has found that some of the Muslim clerics residing in the United Kingdom are willing to perform arranged marriages involving girls as young as 12 years of age. Two imams have reportedly confessed that they would be prepared to officiate at the wedding of an underage girl to a man in his twenties - in spite of concerns that the two would later have sexual intercourse.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
9/11/2012 (1 year ago)
Published in Europe
Keywords: United Kingdom, forced marriage, child brides, Muslim
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - These shocking revelations have led the Home Office to confirm that such ceremonies will be examined in the Government's forthcoming Bill to outlaw forced marriages.
It has been estimated that more than 1,000 of the 8,000 forced marriages of Britons each year are believed to involve girls of 15 or younger. One case last year allegedly involved a girl of five.
The clerics were approached by man, who posed as the father of a 12-year-old, who wanted her to marry to prevent her being tempted into a "decadent Western lifestyle."
Imam Mohammed Kassamali, of the Husaini Islamic Center in Peterborough, stressed the need for secrecy with such a ceremony.
"If it (the marriage) was not possible, I would have told you straight away... I would love the girl to go to her husband's houses (sic) as soon as possible, the younger the better," he allegedly said.
"Under sharia (Islamic law) there is no problem. It is said she should see her first sign of puberty at the house of her husband.
"The problem is that we cannot explain such things (the marriage) if the girl went tomorrow (to the authorities).
"The other thing is the underage thing and if tomorrow the girl is, let's say coerced or forced into this, and she goes and reports it to the police then she will put all of us into the problems."
He told the couple to "delay the togetherness," meaning postpone having sexual intercourse.
"Tell people it is an engagement but it will be a marriage," Abdul Haque, a retired imam who still officiates at weddings at Shoreditch mosque, East London. He reportedly agreed to carry out the ceremony after evening prayers.
"In Islam, once the girl reaches puberty the father has the right, the parents have the right, but under the laws of this country if the girl complains and says her marriage has been arranged and she wasn't of marriageable age, then the person who performed the marriage will be jailed as well as the mother and father."
Haque explained how the Prophet Muhammad had married a seven-year-old girl before adding: "We are his followers, and that is what you have to explain (to your daughter)."
It is not illegal for clerics to perform Islamic marriages, even when one or both of those marrying are under 16 - but such marriages are not recognized in British law, so civil formalities can take place only if both are over 16.
Islamic law allows a couple to have sex after marriage but, as the legal age of consent is 16, a husband can be prosecuted for rape if he has sex with an underage girl.

After 14 years of waiting finally a true turn-base succesor to Jagged Alliance 2!
Check the Kickstarter and their website for more info.
The Godfather of turn-based action is making its comeback! Experience first hand the events that lead to the founding of A.I.M.
Jagged Alliance: Flashback is our vision of returning a once critically acclaimed franchise back to its roots, it's not a reboot, it's a reset!
Our main goal is to bring back the tactical turn-based action that the original Jagged Alliance games are known for - the game was a thinking man's game, a thinking man with lots of guns!
The games were unique in their blend of tactical turn-based action, controlling and maintaining squads of mercenaries, off and on the battlefield. As a player the decisions you made had a direct impact on how you played the game.
Additionally, over-the-top personalities, memorable characters and role-playing elements made the games difficult to put away once you were hooked.

Q: When will the game be released?
A: With our current budget we plan to release the game late 2014, but if we get more funding we would like to implement more features, which could potentially delay the release.
Q: What does it mean that you have a Jagged Alliance License?
A: Getting a license is purely a legal agreement of "Yes - you are allowed to use Jagged Alliance to make a game". It does NOT include money to make the game. It also means we are in Full Control of the development (pun intended).
Q: Will there be a MULTIPLAYER section of the game?
A: Jagged Alliance: Flashback is designed to be the best single player story driven experience possible. While we will not rule out a potential multiplayer mode in the far future, it is not on the roadmap or feature lists.
Q: Do I have to be online to play?
A: No, we don't roll like that. We want you to be able to enjoy a game of Jagged Alliance: Flashback anywhere at anytime.
Q: Will there be mod support?
A: Support for modding is important for a Jagged Alliance title. Depending on the final budget we will work on opening up for things like a map editor and dialog editor.
Q: What's your primary target platform?
A: Our primary platform will be PC. The game will be available on Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.
Q: Will the game support multiple languages?
A: Yes, the game will support English, French, German,Italian, Russian and Spanish, but only for text and menus.
Threats of violence. We take these seriously and will alert the proper authorities.
Posts containing personal information about other players. This includes physical addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and inappropriate photos and/or videos.
Harassing or discriminatory language. This will not be tolerated.
