Climate report presented in Ankara
Following the worldwide launch of the 2007/2008 Global Human Development Report in November 2007, the report was also presented in Ankara on 24 January 2008.
New Horizons - Among the participants of the launch were Deputy Undersecretary of the Ministry of Environment Sedat Kadıoğlu, UNDP Resident Representative Mahmood Ayub, General Director of the State Planning Organization General Directorate of Social Sectors and Coordination Kemal Madenoğlu and Marina Olshanskaya UNDP Regional Technical Specialist for Climate Change for Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Initially the 2007/2008 Global Human Development Report was launched on 27 November 2007 in Brazil by the UNDP Administrator Kemal Derviş in parallel with launches all over the world including Istanbul.
The welcoming remarks of the presentation in Ankara were made by UNDP Resident Representative Mahmood Ayub. Ayub gave striking statistical figures from around the world and explained the human development approach. UNDP Technical Specialist on Climate Change Marina Olshanskaya on the other hand gave further detail on countries' carbon emissions. Other issues taken up during the meeting were Turkey and climate change and Turkey's reflection on the report followed by a session of challenging questions and answers.
The report Fighting Climate Change: Human Solidarity in a Divided World warns that the world should focus on the development impact of climate change that could bring unprecedented reversals in poverty reduction, nutrition, health and education. Fighting Climate Change provides a stark account of the threat posed by global warming and warns that inequalities in ability to cope with climate change are emerging as an increasingly powerful driver of wider inequalities which could lock the world's poorest countries in a downward spiral, leaving hundreds of millions facing malnutrition, water scarcity, ecological threats, loss of livelihoods and many health risks.
Some of the ecological threats that the report highlights are:
· The breakdown of agricutural systems as a result of increased exposure to drought, rising temperatures and more erratic rainfall, leaving up to 600 million more people facing malnutrition.
· An additional 1.8 billion people facing water stress by 2080, with large areas of South Asia and northern China facing a grave ecological crisis as a result of glacial retreat and changed waterfall patterns.
· Displacement through flooding and tropical storm activity of up to 332 million people in coastal and low-lying areas.
· Emerging health risks, with an additional population of up to 400 million facing the risk of malaria.
Authors of the report therefore call on developed countries to demonstrate leadership by cutting greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% of 1990 levels by 2050. Among other alternative recommendations are establishing carbon taxation, more stringent cap-and-trade programmes, energy regulation and international cooperation of financing for low-carbon technology transfer.
During the global launch of the Report, UNDP Administrator Kemal Derviş said: "Ultimately climate change is a threat to humanity as a whole. But it is the poor, a constituency with no responsibility for the ecological debt we are running up, who face the immediate and most severe human costs. Of course there are uncertainties, but faced with risks of this order of magnitude uncertainty is not a case for inaction. Ambitious mitigation is in fact the insurance we have to buy against potentially very large risks. Fighting climate change is about our commitment to human development today and about creating a world that will provide ecological security for our children and their grandchildren".

Nominations Open for IPO Inventor of the Year Award
|Written by Gene Quinn
Patent Attorney & Founder of IPWatchdog, Inc.
Principal Lecturer, PLI Patent Bar Review Course Posted: April 4, 2012 @ 4:10 pm
The Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation currently has an open Call for Nominations for the 39th Annual Inventor of the Year Award. Nominations are due by April 16, 2012, and the winner (and the nominators) will be honored on Monday, December 10, 2012, in Washington, D.C. at a gala event. I have already nominated one inventor from a University client of ours, and I encourage everyone to nominate those you represent (or those you know) who have made an outstanding contribution to innovation.
The purpose of the award is to increase public awareness of inventors and how they benefit the nation's economy and our quality of life. To accomplish this goal the IPO Inventor of the Year Award recognizes the most outstanding recent inventor (or inventors in the case of joint invention). While some of the material you may have read indicates that the invention is U.S. centric, inventions originating outside the U.S. are eligible for the award this year. If you do decide to nominate someone keep in mind the invention must be of recent vintage. This is not a lifetime achievement award as would be the case with the Inventors Hall of Fame, for example.
In order to be eligible for the 2012 award the subject invention must: (1) be covered by a U.S. patent; (2) have been recently commercialized; and (3) have significant impact on society. The judging criteria include originality of the concept, ingenuity in bringing the concept to design, societal benefit and commercial success. Anyone is allowed to submit a nomination — self-nominations are also acceptable.
Nominations can be made via Internet submission, via Fax to 2020-507-4501 or via regular mail to the IPO Educational Foundation, 1501 M Street NW, Suite 1150, Washington, DC 20005. For those opting for Fax of regular mail there is a nomination form available in the Call for Nominations PDF on page 4. Whether nominating via Internet or otherwise, the following supporting material is required:
- A one page, non-technical summary of the invention.
- A one-page biography of the inventor.
- A copy of the U.S. patent.
- A statement addressing the following questions:
- What economic impact has the invention had in the United States?
- What effect has the invention had on humanity?
- What effect has the invention had on the environment?
- Is the invention subject to regulatory approval? If so, what is the status?
- Is the patent a subject of pending litigation or other scrutiny?
Additionally, video footage, photographs, newspaper articles and technical reports may be submitted in support of the nomination.
The winners of the 38th Annual National Inventor of the Year Award were announced on December 5, 2011, in a ceremony at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery. The awards ceremony was attended by nearly 300 people last year, including government officials and others interested in innovation. to a team of inventors from Pfizer Inc.
The winners of the 38th Annual National Inventor of the Year Award were a remarkable group of scientists who collectively developed Xalkori® (crizotinib) at Pfizer's La Jolla, California. The team was spearheaded by Dr. J. Jean Cui, along with Lee Andrew Funk, Lei Jia, Pei-Pei Kung, Jerry Meng, Mitchell Nambu, Mason Allen Pairish, Hong Chen, and Michelle Tran-Dube. It became the first new drug approved for lung cancer in the U.S. in more than six years, being approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in late August 2011 under the agency's accelerated approval program.
Xalkori® represents a shift in lung cancer treatment, moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach toward personalized therapy. It is indicated for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a genetic aberration called anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) as detected by FDA-approved test. Xalkori® works by inhibiting the protein produced by the ALK gene.
While I did not attend the festivities last year, I did attend the Award Ceremony in 2010 when the event was hosted at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. The evening was fun, the conversation excellent, the festivities appropriately dignified. If you are available to attend I highly recommend it. The fact that it will be in DC as the holiday season approaches may provide an opportunity to combine business with pleasure in the Nations' Capitol as well.
Stay tuned for more information on the Awards Ceremony itself, but for now Nominate, Nominate, Nominate!

Ethiopia and Kenya Received US$ 5 Million Grant for Geothermal Energy Development
Addis Ababa, 11 March 2014 (WIC) - Ethiopia and Kenya last Monday received US$ five million grant from the Geothermal Risk Mitigation Facility for Eastern Africa to develop geothermal energy, the Ministry of Foreign Affair said.
Ethiopia's State Minister of Mines, Tewodros Gebre-Egziabher and Infrastructure and Energy Commissioner with the African Union Dr. Elham Ibrahim signed the agreement.
The State Minister said Ethiopia has the potential to generate up to 10,000 MW from geothermal energy. The country has identified 22 potential areas, he said.
The Commissioner on his part explained that the AU is now processing the applications of 11 countries for the Facility.
According to the Ethiopian Herald, the Geothermal Risk Mitigation Facility was established in 2009 to encourage public and private investors as well as public private partnerships to develop geothermal prospects for power generation in Eastern Africa by providing grants.

Title: Good item

We are mostly happy with this costume. It is pretty well made and comfortable. My daughter will be able to wear warm clothes under it. My biggest disappointments with it were the high cost and that it needs to be dry cleaned - though I might try washing it on my own after Halloween.

Title: Disappointed at first, but pleased in the end
Date: Sep 11, 2012
I thought the costume was a little high-priced for what it was, but had a coupon code and received the order timely and efficiently, so was pleased well enough until I tried it on my daughter. The elastic in the feet gave out, not sure if it was too old or subjected to heat, etc. Instead of hassling with returning it, I'm having a friend put new elastic in. Meanwhile I was contacted by Celebrate Express and was issued a 50% refund due to the defective elastic. Talk about customer service! This definitely changed my point of view of the company and will for sure keep them in mind in the future!

Adorable costume for your cute little piggy! It was easy to put warm clothes under the costume for cold weather. I didn't expect the back to be somewhat open, so we put a fleece on underneath. Hoof booties are not practical for toddlers. Overall really cute.

Symptoms of Hyperacidity
December 23, 2009 by Hyperacidity
Filed under Uncategorized
Hyperacidity is not something that can't happen to you. The symptoms are prominent and you would get to know if you are suffering from the same. Most of the times it has been noticed that people experience acidity after eating certain types of food, if this is the case with you – you should not worry. Experiencing acidity once on a while as a reaction to acidity causing food is normal. You should be alarmed when the acidity is persisting. This is one of the most prominent symptoms of one being affected by hyperacidity.
There are some people who experience pain in the upper abdomen. This pain is usually followed by food consumption and is there for relatively short time duration. This could be due to eating food that are quite spicy or may be due to over eating. This is an indication of hyperacidity.
Some people feel nauseated and vomit as well. At times, they vomit blood in extreme situations. They would not feel like eating for a relatively greater period of time, which could extend to 2-3 days sometimes. The others might feel full after having a very small meal. This is like a fake repletion after an inadequate intake of meal.
Bloating or abdominal distension and flatulence is experienced by some. Some could have blood present in their stool.
The crux is that hyperacidity is the result of excess secretion of acids in the stomach and stomach being the vital organ in the digestive system would go for a toss. If you notice a problem that could be connected to the excessive secretion of acids in your stomach could be a possible symptom of hyperacidity and would require immediate attention.
Hyperacidity could not be that serious a problem but the disease it could lead to, if is not treated are really harmful.

Filed under Hyperacidity Symptoms
Symptoms of Hyperacidity
Hyperacidity is the problem which when diagnosed in early stages can be treated effectively and the risk of transforming the hyperacidity to the next stage can be prevented. So it is good to know about the symptoms of hyperacidity so that when you or family friends have this symptom they can be treated easily. The main symptom of the hyperacidity is the indigestion problem.
The indigestion problem will be there continuously for a longer duration and this is mainly due to accumulation of lots of acids in the stomach and this will not allow secretion of other digestive juices and this will result in indigestion. The other important symptom of the hyperacidity is the constipation problem.
When a person gets indigestion problem as well as constipation then he has to be immediately checked for the hyperacidity. The vomiting sensation will be present in the persons with the hyperacidity problem. Due to excess acid which is present in the stomach there will be resistant from the stomach to accept new food which will ultimately result in vomiting sensation.
The stomach becomes hard due to the acid secretion which you feel externally. Due to the stomach being hard there will not be much interest for the person affected by hyperacidity to eat. This will make the person unhealthy. The other important symptom is the feeling of restlessness.
This feeling develops strongly since the person with hyperacidity will not eat much and this will make him feel like that. The other important symptom is the lack of interest to eat since the patient may feel full due to presence of excess acid.

I saw in the papers a few days ago that Occupy Wall Street was getting ready to begin a new wave of 'occupations'. I was curious and went to their website. I thought the occupation spirit had fizzled out. But I was wrong.
Occupy Wall Street's website welcomed me with revolutionary slogans that reminded me of my college days and a Valentine's Day campaign to 'Break up with your bank and fall in love with 99%'. It sounded so romantic and passionate! Yes, I was tempted but as a middle aged woman, questions started pouring into my mind -- what kind of a settlement will I get if I break up with my bank, who will take care of my banking needs/investments and most importantly, will the 99 percent really respond to my love? Then again, how do I show my love for the 99 percent? Can my actions, purchasing habits, and investments make my love more genuine for the 99 percent? Can I bring my bank into this communal love? I snapped out of my dizzy state and realised, 'Yes, I can. Yes, I am…'
Last autumn, the world watched in horror and awe as the young and old took on Wall Street -- the bastion of capitalism -- demanding a new type of capitalism that works for all. These pockets of protests across the globe may not have been well directed, but what they lacked in direction they more than made up for in focus. The mere presence of the tents and protest placards pointed in unison to the sad dearth of a moral compass in the financial sector today. Why has capitalism not worked for all? Is it too late to change it? It is worth exploring the system that has made us more into takers than givers, dependent rather than independent, richer in goods but woefully poor in spirituality? Can the system be tweaked and have the 99 percent fall in love with it again?
The world has experienced unprecedented growth since World War II. In parallel, the growth gave rise to inequitable societies where the majority of the population did not always benefit from the country's growth or the rise of millionaires. In Asia, we are very much in the middle of this. While 'Occupy Wall Street' did not happen in a significant way in Asia, we feel the crisis in other ways -- in our polluted cities and waterways, rapidly decreasing forests, lack of jobs for the young and care for the old, lack of food, medicine, habitats and most pressingly, lack of opportunity. It is not that 99 percent of our global population is not willing to partake in the glories of capital markets. They certainly are, but they are not given the opportunity. Perhaps it is not the 99 percent that needs direction in their protests, but rather the practice of capitalism that needs a reassessment -- a nudge and perhaps even a push to shape up and start working on what it meant to do: not only create growth but create social good as well.
More than a century ago, Henry Ford famously asserted that "a business that makes nothing but money is a poor business." The world is now over run by 'poor businesses'. Headless pursuit of financial returns may produce happy management teams and shareholders, but also results in an unhappy planet for the businesses to operate on. The solution is not to give some money on the side to charity, or get your employees to go and play 'builder' or 'teacher' for a day somewhere as a so called CSR initiative. The solution is much more complex than that. It requires a paradigm shift of our business practices.
While traditional businesses will take time to change their mindset in bringing in social and environmental objectives as their core, there are companies all over the globe (a majority of them in Asia) that are creating their organisation around the basic DNA of doing social good. These organisations are from either a for-profit or not-for-profit legal structure. However, they share the common goal of creating positive social and environmental impact. Companies that have these social and/or environmental missions at their core are known as social enterprises.
Social enterprises can be one of two things: they are either mission-driven for-profit or market-driven not-for-profit organisations. Examples of social enterprises include a for-profit sustainable fishery in Indonesia that is alleviating poverty by paying fishers a premium for sustainable fishing practices, sparking more local development, and helping conserve the environment; a for-profit renewable energy organisation in India that is creating sustainable economic growth, conserving the environment, and creating jobs; and a non-profit microfinance organisation in India that creating economic empowerment/poverty alleviation, empowering women, increasing access to education for children, and job creation.
People are now slowly but surely waking up and creating, helping create or investing in social enterprises across the globe. The world has finally seen the need for, not bridges, but highways to connect capitalism with social good in order to acknowledge and act on the economic, social and environmental disparities that are plaguing us today. The infrastructure of this new form of capitalism is taking shape and is called impact investing -- a form of investment that generates a social and environmental impact along with the financial returns. This form of investment has been around in one shape or the other for centuries, but it is only now that the ripples of early efforts are shaping into a tsunami of social change. It is now ready to take on a world desperately seeking 'holistic' and a blended value of the inputs.
Perhaps getting involved with impact investing is a great way to show our love to the 99 percent. If one were to look beyond the heart, The Monitor Institute listed the following reasons as possible motivations to get involved with impact investing -- wanting to diversify portfolios, disenchantment with mainstream investment products and in general, as a response to consumers seeking to incorporate value-driven considerations into their purchasing and investment decisions. Regardless of the motivation, the result is the same: more money to address the world's problems, but with a difference. Unlike philanthropy, which is dependent on the constant generosity of governments and foundations, impact investing is sustainable.
JP Morgan has estimated potential invested capital over the next 10 years in the range of $400 billion - $1 trillion, with profits in between $183 billion and $667 billion even when only considering five sectors -- housing, rural water delivery, maternal health, primary education, and financial services -- for the portion of the global population earning less than $3,000 a year. These numbers illustrate the huge potential for impact investing to become a significant source of sustainable funding for solutions to the world's problems.
One may ask, why can I not just give money to charity to show my love to the 99 percent? That is the whole point: the 99 percent wants your sustainable love and that cannot be shown with a one time charitable giving. You have to give a gift that keeps on giving, and that is impact investing. Furthermore, without a social investment tool, charities that depend on philanthropic giving and government funding are vulnerable to changes in the economic climate. As companies and governments alike tighten their belts during the economic crises, charities are forced to do likewise, somewhat ironically, since economic crises coincide with an increase in social challenges worldwide. Charities Aid Foundation UK, a network of charities and donors, found that nearly half of the charities they surveyed reported dipping into their reserves during the recent recession. With the world facing the looming prospect of a significant recession, the need for a sustainable source of funding for development efforts is greater than ever.
Moreover, philanthropic capital on its own is unable to meet all the needs of the world. There is simply not enough philanthropic money around. To see this we need to look no further than the statistics released by Asian Development Bank (ADB). ADB reports that in 2008, around 63 percent of the world's poor were living in Asia and the Pacific Region. Almost half, 47.4 percent to be precise, of the region's 1.63 billion people live on less than $2 a day. Almost as well-documented as Asia's stellar growth for the last quarter-of-a-century is the uneven distribution of its growth. Ten of ADB's 25 Developing Member Countries saw an increase, not decrease, in poverty between 2008 and 2009.
A recent UBS-INSEAD report concludes that philanthropic capital in Asia is insufficient as poverty alleviation requires large amounts of sustained funding, which is beyond the scope of single family foundations and usually even groups of such foundations. Instead of being engines of change, philanthropists need to recognise their roles as catalysts for change, and incubators for innovative solutions that are self-sustaining.
Philanthropists across Asia are beginning to realise this. The families interviewed in the UBS-INSEAD report highlighted social entrepreneurship as the most important trend for the future. Indeed, interest in and the importance of social entrepreneurship will only continue to grow as the younger, more innovative generation takes over the running of their family offices.
How do I give this gift of impact investing to the 99 percent you may ask? The answer is, in many ways -- you can invest directly in an organisation, you can put money in a fund that will invest in a social enterprise or soon, you can even buy shares in an exchange dedicated to social enterprises. If I may boldly showcase my own love for the 99 percent, it is through an intermediary that I created -- Impact Investment Exchange Asia (IIX).
IIX is creating Asia's first social stock exchange: Impact Exchange. Impact Exchange will facilitate capital flow from impact investors to social enterprises, which seek to raise capital through offerings of shares, bonds, or other financial instruments. While the Impact Exchange will be a public platform, IIX has already launched a private platform called Impact Partners. Impact Partners connects impact investors with relatively small social enterprises (those with less than $10 million capital raise) on an individualised basis. Impact Exchange has over 100 social enterprises in its pipeline and over $68 million in investment opportunities, and it continues to expand its impact across Asia. There are also of course other intermediaries, such as BlueOrchard, which is one of the world's largest microfinance investment managers, and the Asian Venture Philanthropy Network, which promotes investment-minded approaches to creating social good.
With impact investing, perhaps we do not have to break up with our bankers, but rather need to give our bankers another chance to redeem themselves. As for falling in love with the 99 percent, I was always in love with them, and now I am ecstatic that I can demonstrate that love by repurposing capitalism not only for the millionaires but for the millions. I am not only occupying Wall Street, but am also recreating it.

Living display uses millions of glowing bacteria for pixels
Each one of those lovely blue pixels in the picture above is in fact a little chamber containing thousands of bacteria, which turn themselves on and off in unison to create a living fluorescent display. It's not an infectious disease, it's a biopixel! Or, well, I guess maybe it's both.
A biopixel is simply a tiny little bacterial party zone that's stuffed full of about 5,000 individual cells of e. coli, the same friendly organism that both lives in your intestine and causes food poisoning. Some genetic tweaking sets up the bacteria to fluoresce blue on command, which is cool and all, but we've already been able to make all kinds of things glow that shouldn't. The remarkable bit is being able to control some 13,000 biopixel chambers (millions of bacteria) all at once, and fortunately, bacteria already have a built-in synchronization system in the form of a chemically tunable biological clock. When all of the chambers are connected together, the bacterial colonies emit gases that allow them to sync up and glow more or less in unison. Clever little buggers.
Although this display looks totally cool and definitely works, there are some downsides. First, it's rather small, at about the size of a paperclip, and 13,000 biopixels isn't exactly HD resolution. But more importantly, the display has a very, very slow refresh rate: from completely off to completely on takes the display over an hour. Also, since all the biopixels are communicating with each other, you can't turn them on and off individually, which means that any display you create is going to be stuck with whatever image you've initially designed it with.
So, don't expect to see any biopixel TVs coming out in 2012, but the researchers who invented these things say that they could be used to create advance hand-held detectors for chemicals, toxins, and pathogens within the next five years.
Below, watch a video showing a biopixel display in action.

text: 1 PAINfully badLiamSimey | 09/06/2009 | See all LiamSimey's reviews (7)This is a novelty game, and 20 minute gimmick, maybe 40 if you've really not got anything better to do. There are a few challanges and plenty of characters/levels to waste your money on, but no matter the level, challenge or character, you're basically flinging someone from a giant catapult and watching it hit things. I bought this game impusively without looking into what it's all about, so please learn from my mistake and take this review onboard. Trust me, spend your money on a blu-ray movie or put it towards a different PS3 game.

In 1978 George Powell, a mechanical engineer and avid skateboarder, and Stacy Peralta, who was among the first pro skaters in the 1970s, founded Powell-Peralta, one of the most prominent skateboard manufacturing companies of the early 1980s. Powell-Peralta used skaters' input to design its boards, making them highly desirable to the up-and-coming skater. To promote its expanding line of products, Powell-Peralta created the "Bones Brigade," one of the greatest skate teams ever assembled. The best skaters of the day, including Steve Caballero, Lance Mountain, Mike McGill, Rodney Mullen, and a young Tony Hawk traveled the country, displaying their tricks and elevating their sport to new heights.
In 1985, Powell-Peralta became the seventeen-year-old Hawk's primary sponsor, with Quiksilver following soon after. Founded in the early 1970s, Quiksilver was one of the first skate and surf companies to manufacture boards along with an ever-growing line of apparel for both men and women. Another of Hawk's sponsors, Tracker Trucks, a skateboard truck company founded in 1975, is credited with introducing the first widely accepted truck designed specifically for skateboarding. Hawk's 1986 board features Tracker magnesium trucks and a lapper--a now-obsolete small piece of plastic that protects the truck bolt and provides a smooth surface when grinding--to cover the rear truck.
As the popularity of skate tours increased, sponsors found expanding media opportunities to advertise their products within the skate community. One of the most ubiquitous was stickers. For example, the Powell-Peralta flying-skull sticker on the bottom of Hawk's deck is from Powell-Peralta's 1986 Summer Tour across the United States. Vernon Courtlandt Johnson, an influential skate artist credited with introducing the skull into skate culture, designed the sticker for the tour and also designed Hawk's trademark logo, the now-famous Tony Hawk iron cross design that is prominently displayed on the bottom of the deck.
The Carlsbad Pipelines sticker represents Tony's early career and his willingness to support hometown skate shops. After moving with his family to Carlsbad, California, while still in high school, Hawk became a fixture at Carlsbad Pipelines surf shop. Skaters often promoted hometown shops that helped them out at the beginning of their careers. The Transworld Skateboarding magazine sticker highlights Hawk's role in popularizing the sport, especially among younger skaters. Hawk and other well-known boarders made editorial contributions to the magazine, founded in 1983 as an alternative to the adult-oriented crudeness of Thrasher magazine.
Stickers also illustrate the growing influence of skate culture that was felt in the music world. Rock bands influenced by skate, like 10 Foot Boneless in the mid-1980s, distributed stickers through skater magazines (the band's stickers appear on several of Hawk's boards, including the one donated to the Museum).
Tony Hawk's early career and the evolution of skate culture in the 1980s can be read through the technology and the stickers on the skateboard that he donated to the Museum. I'm sure Hawk's other boards tell similar stories of different stages in his career, the technological advancements of the last twenty-five years, and the impact that skating has had on American culture. As Tony Hawk told ESPN reporter Matt Higgins: "Skaters have always been known to be unique and artistic, so the lifestyle encompasses much more than the physical act. It has influenced art, music, and fashion, and helped to redefine sports in our country."

To formally start the proceedings, Benedict XVI, talked about banking.
"We now see in the collapse of the great banks: money disappears, turns to nothing," B16 said in an impromptu meditation at the day's start. "And all these things, which seem like the true reality on which we can count, are realities of a second order.Here is the Pope in Genesis 1:
"One who builds his life on these realities, on objects, success, on everything that's visible, builds on sand," the pontiff added, referring to options of sand or rock cited by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. "Only the Word of God is the foundation of every reality, fixed as the heavens and more than the heavens, is the reality."

The only thing better than a good scandal is even more "Scandal" — ABC has renewedShonda Rhimes' freshman drama series for a second season, which Rhimes announced herself on Twitter.
"Scandal" stars Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope, a high-powered fixer with a resourceful crisis management team behind her (played by Henry Ian Cusick,Darby Stanchfield, Guillermo Diaz, Columbus Short and Katie Lowes), and a complicated relationship with her old boss, the President of the United States (played by Tony Goldwyn).
Season 1 of "Scandal" is just wrapping up its short seven-episode run (season finale airs Thurs., May 17, 10 p.m. ET on ABC), and ratings in the post-"Grey's Anatomy" timeslot have exceeded expectations
shonda rhimes
And star Kerry Washington tweeted her thanks to fans
Cant express in words the utter excitement & gratitude Im experiencing! Thank YOU #Gladiators for watching supporting & spreading the word
The show has a case-of-the-week element, but also a larger mystery of the first season, which Rhimes has promised will wrap up in the finale, leaving fans with some lingering questions to address in Season 2.
"I felt really strongly when we got our episode order that, instead of going, 'We're doing seven [episodes] but are hoping for 13′ — given that I'll be doing 54 episodes of television this year — we could look at these seven like you would a British miniseries. 'Let's 'State of Play' this and have a really great seven episodes that's a complete and total story.' So, yes, it does have a beginning, middle and an end," Rhimes said
Her producing partner, Betsy Beers, agreed, but teased that there are still unresolved issues: "But we do leave just enough out there. Nothing is ever fully resolved."
When asked on Twitter whether Season 2 will be a shortened, British miniseries-style season again (noting that they could accomplish that same movie-every-week feel with, say, 13 episodes), Rhimes responded: "That is always the plan!" No definitive episode order has been announced.
Rhimes' "Grey's Anatomy" has already received a ninth season renewal at ABC, with many of the main stars having signed on as well; "Private Practice," which moved to Tuesdays to make way for "Scandal," remains on the bubble.

One fish is rapidly becoming one of the biggest problems facing the fragile food web of coral reefs in the U.S.: the lionfish. Lionfish are native to the Indo-Pacific region, but are an invasive species in the Caribbean and Atlantic.
In their native waters, lionfish are at the top of the food chain, and are ferocious hunters. They are equipped with dangerous venom-filled spines that run along their dorsal, pectoral, and anal fins. Although they are venomous, they are not poisonous, and are safe to eat once you cut the spines off – and are actually quite tasty!
Twenty years ago lionfish could only be seen in their native habitat in the Pacific, as well as in many aquariums in the United States, but today they can be seen off the eastern seaboard of the U.S. and everywhere in the Caribbean. They are thought to have been accidently released when a hurricane in the late 1990s destroyed a beachfront aquarium in Florida. The fish immediately colonized the Florida Keys, and their eggs floated in the currents around the Caribbean. Scientists were left to watch in horror as the lionfish spread in a predictable pattern around the Caribbean Sea along the current patterns.
Lionfish are voracious feeders, and have no natural predators here, which has resulted in an exponential growth of their population. Plus, they spawn year-round and each brood can have tens of thousands of eggs. They are especially worrisome in the Caribbean since they prey on juvenile fish species, including the endangered Nassau grouper and other recovering fish species.
Unfortunately, there is no simple solution to solving the problem. The population has established itself to the point where eradication appears futile. But every little bit helps, and I myself have hunted the pesky predators all across the Caribbean; from beaches in Florida to the pristine reefs of the Turks and Caicos Islands, and in the world's second longest barrier reef off the coast of Belize.
There are two ways to hunt lionfish. The easiest is with a spear gun, and the other is by trapping the fish in between two nets. The key to hunting lionfish is to move slowly and stalk the fish so as not to spook it. When threatened, they will swim into small crevices that make them nearly impossible to reach. When using nets, they key is to herd the fish into one net by chasing it from behind with the other. This is difficult because you have to anticipate where the fish will swim to. Using a spear gun is much easier, but can attract sharks, who want to check out the fresh piece of meat you just snagged.
There are endless ways to eat lionfish; my personal favorites are lionfish pizza and lionfish-cakes (crab cake style). Lionfish is a flaky white fish and can be used in recipes for halibut, cod, tilapia, and haddock.
Next time you venture into the water in the Caribbean, be on the lookout for this invasive species, just don't get too close! Learn more about the Lionfish invasion at http://www.reef.org/lionfish.
Last summer I had the amazing opportunity to be on board the U.S. Coast Guard Icebreaker Healy, in partnership with N.A.S.A.'s ICESCAPE mission to study the effects of ocean acidification on phytoplankton communities in the Arctic Ocean. We collected thousands of water samples and ice cores in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas.
While in the northern reaches of the Chukchi Sea, we discovered large "blooms" of phytoplankton under the ice. It had previously been assumed that sea ice blocked the sunlight necessary for the growth of marine plants. But the ice acts like a greenhouse roof and magnifies the light under the ice, creating a perfect breeding ground for the microscopic creatures. Phytoplankton play an important role in the ocean, without which our world would be drastically different.
Phytoplankton take CO2 out of the water and release oxygen, almost as much as terrestrial plants do. The ecological consequences of the bloom are not yet fully understood, but because they are the base of the entire food chain in the oceans, this was a monumental discovery that will shape our understanding of the Arctic ecosystem in the coming years.
The Arctic is one of the last truly wild places on our planet, where walruses, polar bears, and seals out-number humans, and raised their heads in wonderment as we walked along the ice and trespassed into their domain. However, their undeveloped home is currently in grave danger. The sea ice that they depend on is rapidly disappearing as the Arctic is dramatically altered by global warming.
Some predictions are as grave as a seasonally ice-free Arctic by 2050. Drilling for oil in the Arctic presents its own host of problems, most dangerous of which is that there is no proven way to clean up spilled oil in icy conditions. An oil spill in the Arctic could be devastating to the phytoplankton and thereby disrupt the entire ecosystem. The full effects of such a catastrophe cannot be fully evaluated without better information about the ocean, and we should not be so hasty to drill until we have that basic understanding.
Unless we take drastic action to curb our emissions of CO2 and prevent drilling in the absence of basic science and preparedness, we may see not only an ice-free Arctic in our lifetimes, but also an Arctic ecosystem that is drastically altered.

Developed by an award-winning team of scientists and engineers whose experience include the design of moving map satellite navigation systems for high speed military jets, the GPS Aquameter is a breakthrough in ergonomic and operating system design. With the GPS Aquameter and its associated range of multiparameter probes, it is now possible for anyone to obtain fast, reliable, accurate and dependable water quality readings. The GPS Aquameter is designed to interface to, and display readings from any one of eight Aquaread multiparameter probes. Taking a reading couldn't be easier. Simply connect the selected Aquaprobe to the GPS Aquameter, switch on and lower the probe into water. The probe's built-in microprocessor immediately goes to work measuring dissolved oxygen, conductivity, turbidity, temperature, pH and ORP from which all the other water related parameters are calculated. Once per second the probe packages all this data and sends it to the meter, where it is processed for display along with atmospheric pressure, position and altitude information. Logging data is simple too. Either set the unit to log at regular intervals, or grab the current readings by hitting the M+ key. To recall logged data on screen, simply hit the MR key then browse using the arrow keys. To copy the logged data to your PC, attach the custom USB cable and run the Aqualink software utility (both supplied as standard). Once the data is transferred, Aqualink can export it to most popular spreadsheets as well as Google™ Maps and Google Earth, where the readings can be overlaid on either maps or satellite photos.

The amount of fragrance in this product is overwhelming! It irritated my lips badly. There's a good amount of tint, so that I like. I don't like the packaging, I wish it had a normal cap. I wish that this didn't sting so bad.
This is great! The smell is nice and yhe color is great. I didnt expect that much colour for a lip balm. Im not sure it was very moisturizing though. Maybe even drying! The packaging is cute though : )
This product glides on like smooth butter and smells SOOOOOO good! The tint is lovely but I don't like it because its a bit too much for me - I like the natrual look BUT this looks completely sheer and natrual on most girls, I must be the oddball! I'd give this product 5 stars but its not as moisturizing as it claims to be (it runs my lips dry after an hour or two...) but then again I have constantly super dry lips... Overall nice product but I'm ambivalent if ill buy it again, maybe only for novelty purposes for the WONDERFUL flavours!
I bought this baby lips after already having the peach kiss one, which I loved, and I love this one even more! It has such a gorgeous pink/redish tint that isn't too dark or too light but it's just perfect for summer. Highly recommend
Cherry Me is my favorite of all the baby lips. It gives my lip a fantastic color, but if I constantly apply it all throughout the day, it starts to become a little too much, and I'll surprise myself in the mirror with bright pink-red lips. My lips are naturally very pigmented around the middle of the day and at night, but when I first wake up in the morning they're still pretty light pink. I never pay much attention to how often I have to reapply lip products, because I don't have a problem doing it without a mirror or anything (I never wear red or dark lipsticks). I don't count on any of the tinted baby lips to fix my chapped lips, but my lips are never chapped because I drink so much water. I don't care much for the scent of cherry, but this smells very strongly like cherry, so if you like that. I mostly use this product for the adorable packaging and the color. However, my cousin has the same product and she hates the color it gives her, she has very fair skin (she's half Irish) and she says it's too dark for her.
I woud say that overall, be careful with baby lips because of the color tints (Pink Punch doesn't look too good on me) and some of them are more moisturizing than others (Twinkle Me is my favorite moisturizing baby lips)
More reviews by liviiflutelouu
Out of all the Baby Lips - this one is my favorite. Cherry Me gives off a beautiful glossy sheen - and looks great with fair skin tones. It moisturizes fairly well, and you don't need to prime your lips before applying. This is one of those products you don't even need a mirror to apply..you can just swipe it on and go knowing it looks great!
Oh - it also smells amazing. Plus the packaging is just adorable!!
A touch too red. When applied, it was really pigmented, which meant I couldn't slather it on, even though I desperately needed it. Not that this helped much with that anyways. This lip balm wasn't very moisturizing. I prefer EOS and Burt'a Bees. They do a better job. However this does smell really nice, if a bit plastic.
Edit: I use it on top of another lip balm as a lipstick/gloss and it's actually pretty nice. It gets a lippie for that
Its great! Much more colour than i would expect. It doesnt feel moisturizing but whatev it has spf. Smells nice
I love the Baby Lips and I own them all! I love Cherry Me too. The color payoff is great and it's super moisturizing. The only flaw is that the smell reminds me of medicine like Tylenol. Definitely not a plus but I love the color and shine!
I love this product - both the colour and the formula. The colour doesn't last very long - you have to reapply, but I find it be moisturizing and not drying. I would repurchase this if I lost it. It also has a cherry scent - kinda like cherry slushy. If you don't like scented products, especially fake cherry, this is not for you. The price was good - I paid $3 at Walmart.
