Adaptation to climate change will be difficult for Madagascar
(07/29/2008) Madagascar's high levels of endemism coupled with its extensive loss and degradation of ecosystems leave its species particularly vulnerable to climate change. A new paper evaluates these risks and sets forth conservation priorities to best maintain the ecological resilience of the island nation.
Climate change will increase the erosion of coral reefs
(07/28/2008) Coral reefs are particularly susceptible to climate change. Warming waters have been shown to bleach coral, killing off symbiotic algae that provide them with sustenance, and often leading to the death of the coral itself. Much attention has been placed on bleaching coral, but now scientists have discovered an additional danger to coral reefs in a warming world: erosion.
Coral susceptibility to bleaching due to small differences in symbiotic relationship
(07/22/2008) Coral reefs are now considered the second most threatened group of animals in the world, with nearly one-third of corals listed as endangered (amphibians retain the dubious honor of being number one). Although corals face many threats, the greatest is bleaching caused by warming oceans due to climate change. However, some coral populations are more susceptible to bleaching than others, even including corals of the same species. New research has uncovered that the reason lies in small differences in the symbiotic relationship between corals and their symbionts, small marine animals and protozoa. Such differences, however minuscule, have a huge impact on the likelihood of a coral's ability to survive warming oceans.
Moving species may be only way to save them from climate change
(07/17/2008) Desperate times call for desperate measures, according to a new paper in Science. conservation scientists from the US, the UK, and Australia are calling for the consideration of a highly controversial conservation technique: assisted migration. According to the policy piece, species would be relocated to sites "where they do not currently occur or have not been known to occur in recent history".
Forests cover 1/3 of U.S. but are responsible for 2/3 of its water supply
(07/16/2008) The single most important function of U.S. forests is their role in securing the country's freshwater supply at a time when water demand is surging but climate risks to forests are also increasing, say the authors of a new federal report released by the National Research Council.
Birds face higher risk of extinction than conventionally thought
(07/14/2008) Birds may face higher risk of extinction than conventionally thought, says a bird ecology and conservation expert from Stanford University. Dr. Cagan H. Sekercioglu, a senior research scientist at Stanford and head of the world's largest tropical bird radio tracking project, estimates that 15 percent of world's 10,000 bird species will go extinct or be committed to extinction by 2100 if necessary conservation measures are not taken. While birds are one of the least threatened of any major group of organisms, Sekercioglu believes that worst-case climate change, habitat loss, and other factors could conspire to double this proportion by the end of the century. As dire as this sounds, Sekercioglu says that many threatened birds are rarer than we think and nearly 80 percent of land birds predicted to go extinct from climate change are not currently considered threatened with extinction, suggesting that species loss may be far worse than previously imagined. At particular risk are marine species and specialists in mountain habitats.
Warming will trigger cycle of increased energy use, heat waves in California
(07/11/2008) As the 21st century progresses, major cities in heavily air-conditioned California can expect more frequent extreme-heat events caused by climate change.
Pine beetles attack Canada, boosting GHG emissions
(07/10/2008) The mountain pine beetle, a small tree-devouring insect, has deforested an area of British Columbia the size of Louisiana — over 130,000 square kilometers. The 5 millimeter insect is a perfect tree-destroying machine. The beetles bore through the tree's bark to reach the phloem of the tree, which contains the tree's organic nutrients. The beetles then feed on these nutrients and lay their eggs. The trees defend themselves by secreting extra resin, but the beetles are often able to combat this by releasing a blue fungi. In about two weeks time, the tree turns a tell-tale red and essentially starves to death. The mountain pine beetles move on.
1/3 of corals face extinction
(07/10/2008) Nearly one-third of reef-building corals are vulnerable to extinction, according to an assessment of 845 species of coral. Rising temperatures, increased incidence of disease, and human disturbance are driving the trend.
Good news for reefs: giant coral structure found off Brazil
(07/07/2008) Amid a series of dire reports on the status of coral reefs, scientists announced the discovery of a reef off the southern coast of Brazil's Bahia state that doubles the size of the Southern Atlantic Ocean's largest and richest reef system, the Abrolhos Bank.
U.S. coral reefs in trouble
(07/07/2008) Nearly half of U.S. coral reefs are in "poor" or "fair" condition according to a new study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Some grasslands resilient against climate change, according to 13 year study
(07/07/2008) In Buxton, England--a spa town lying in the county of Derbyshire--scientists have spent 13 years subjecting grasslands to temperature increases and precipitation shifts consistent with climate change predictions. Considered one of the longest studies of climate change on natural ecosystems, the grasslands of Buxton proved surprisingly resilient to most of the effects of climate change.
CO2 emissions could doom fishing industry
(07/03/2008) Aside from warming climate, rising carbon dioxide emissions are contributing to ocean acidification, threatening sea live, warn researchers writing in the journal Science. This trend makes it all the more important to reduce emissions, argue the authors.
Global warming causes plants to move to higher elevations
(06/26/2008) Global warming has caused many plant species to move to higher elevations, report researchers writing in the journal Science.
Lion die-offs in Africa linked to global warming
(06/26/2008) Scientists have linked climate shifts in East Africa to die-offs in lion populations in 1994 and 2001. The research is published in the open-access journal PLoS ONE.
Global warming threatens California's native plants
(06/24/2008) Two-thirds of California's native plants could suffer an 80 percent or more reduction in geographic range by the end of the century due to changing climate warns a study appearing tomorrow in the open-access journal PLoS ONE.
Rainforests face array of emerging threats
(06/15/2008) Tropical forests face a number of emerging threats said a leading biologist speaking at a scientific conference in Paramaribo, Suriname.
Unlocking the potential of forests to limit climate change
(06/12/2008) Understanding the complex interactions between forests and climate may "unlock the potential of forests to limit global climate change," argues a researcher writing in the journal Science.
New discoveries about past forest changes may help predict future ones in a changing climate
(06/12/2008) There is no better method to understand the future than to look to the past. Several new studies of the earth's glacial history are transforming the way scientists look at tree behvaior during extreme changes in climate. Scientists Remj Petit, Feng Sheng Hu, and Christopher Dick described such changes in relation to current global warming in the new issue of the journal Science. They report that already "in some parts of the world, tree species have started to shift their distributions in response to anthropogenic climatic warming", thus raising the stakes for understanding how tree species will adapt to coming changes.
Forests face governance challenges
(06/12/2008) Governments "own" about 86 percent of the word's forests, but recent changes in forest management structure means they effectively control far less than they did just a generation ago. As such, the fate of forests is increasingly determined by concesssionary agreements with extractive industries and the whims of market demand for commodities produced on forest lands. Climate change and rapid economic growth are poised to further complicate effective management of forest areas.
Sea ice loss may triple warming over northern Alaska, Canada, and Russia
(06/11/2008) Fast-declining Arctic sea-ice could spur rapid warming in northern Alaska, Canada, and Russia triggering thawing of permafrost and a release greenhouse gases from the frozen soils, reports a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters.
Rainforest species particularly vulnerable to global warming
(06/08/2008) Tropical species may be particularly vulnerable to global warming due to their limited ability to adjust to high temperatures, warn scientists writing in the journal Science.
Diversity in streams may brace Chinook salmon for climate change
(06/03/2008) Chinook salmon face a one-two punch. They have disappeared from several rivers in the western U.S. largely because of human interventions and some populations are threatened or endangered. Numbers of Chinook in California's Central Valley have dwindled by 88 percent in the past five years, a loss that closed fisheries for 2008 and may cost California's economy $167 million, according to the state Department of Fish and Game. On top of all this looms a second impact: These salmon will be in hotter water still because of climate change.
Bush Administration: global warming is real and a threat to the U.S. economy
(05/28/2008) The Bush Administration today released a court-ordered assessment on climate. The report — titled "Scientific Assessment of the Effects of Global Change on the United States" — says human-driven climate change will damage ecosystems and pose challenges to key sectors of the U.S. economy including agriculture and energy.
Environmental damage costs $4.8 trillion annually
(05/28/2008) Environmental damage and biodiversity loss in forest ecosystems costs 2.1 to 4.8 trillion dollars per year, according to a report released Thursday at the UN Convention on Biological Diversity meeting in Bonn, Germany.
Climate change will cause significant disruptions to U.S. agriculture says Fed study
(05/28/2008) Human-induced climate change will cause significant disruptions to water supplies, agriculture, and forestry in the United States in coming decades, says a federal report released Tuesday.
Ocean acidification worse than expected, threatens sea life
(05/22/2008) Increasing ocean acidification along the continental shelf of North America will likely have negative impacts on marine ecosystems, including the corrosion of calcium carbonate exoskeletons in many organisms, warn researchers writing in the journal Science.
Global warming harming plant-eating animals in the Arctic
(05/21/2008) Climate change is making it more difficult for plant-eating animals in highly seasonal environments like as the Arctic to locate food, according to a new study published in the online edition of the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Global warming will produce fewer hurricanes
(05/18/2008) Global warming will produce fewer Atlantic hurricanes, according to a study published today in the journal Nature Geoscience by a U.S. government meteorologist.
NASA study links changes in Earth's systems to global warming
(05/14/2008) Human-induced climate change has impacted a wide range of Earth's natural systems, including permafrost, lakes, and oceans, reports a new study led by scientists from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Science (GISS).
U.S. lists the polar bear as threatened, but decision won't affect emissions rules
(05/14/2008) The U.S. Interior Department has decided to list the polar bear as a threatened species due to declining sea ice cover in the Arctic, according to the The Associated Press. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne has scheduled a news conference Wednesday to announce the action.
Global warming to worsen ocean dead zones, hurt fisheries
(05/01/2008) Warming oceans will worsen oxygen-deficient or hypoxic dead zones, affecting ecosystems and fisheries, warn researchers writing in the journal Science.
No longer a fan of Earth Day
(05/01/2008) After April 22nd of this year, I am no longer a fan of Earth Day. It has become a strange pseudo-holiday that allows individuals, governments, corporations, and the media to focus a miniscule spotlight on our environmental crises, and then breathe a sigh of relief over the following days and weeks as they to go back to their old ineffectual ways. It is a day to stem the guilt of the sorry state of our natural—and 'civilized'—world. It is not a day where environmental education actually reaches the masses, or when people wake to the need—not the luxury—to change our ways. It is the opposite: a chance to feel good about our time's greatest crisis.
Global warming could worsen HIV/AIDS epidemic
(04/30/2008) A number of studies have suggested that climate change could expand the range of tropical diseases like Dengue fever and Encephalitis. Now a researcher from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia says that global warming could lead to an increase in HIV infection rates worldwide.
Endangered species status of the polar bear to be decided May 15
(04/29/2008) A federal judge has ordered the Bush administration to stop delaying its decision on whether to list the polar bear as an endangered species. Environmentalists say the bear is threatened by melting sea ice in its Arctic habitat.
The Arctic's most threatened marine mammals due to climate change
(04/25/2008) A recent study has measured the sensitivity to Arctic marine mammals to climate change. The study found that the three species most vulnerable to climate change are the hooded seal, the polar bear, and the narwhal: the common thread between these species being the loss of sea ice.
Sunshine worsens Arctic sea ice melt
(04/21/2008) Arctic sea ice is increasingly vulnerable to sunny days, concludes new research published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Invasive species cost China $14B per year
(04/01/2008) Rapid economic growth and giant infrastructure projects have allowed invasive species to spread throughout China and inflict more than $14.5 billion of damage to the nation's economy annually, according to a study published in Bioscience. The research warns that the Beijing Olympics may worsen the toll.
Humans, and global warming, responsible for extinction of mammoths
(03/31/2008) The combination of human hunting pressure and climate change was responsible for the extinction in woolly mammoths, claims new research published in the open-access journal PLoS Biology. Scientists have long debated whether climate change or human hunting were the more important driver in the demise of North America's megafauna towards the end of the last Ice Age. Now new modeling by David Nogues-Bravo, a biologist at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid, Spain, and colleagues supports the theory that synergistic effects of warming climate and new human predators drove mammoths to extinction.
No global warming link to dying frogs?
(03/25/2008) Scientists have fired another salvo in the heated debate over the role of climate change in the global decline of amphibians. Writing in the March 25 issue of PLoS Biology, a team of researchers led by Karen Lips of Southern Illinois University-Carbondale report finding "no evidence to support the hypothesis that climate change has been driving outbreaks of amphibian chytridiomycosis" -- a disease blamed for large-scale die-offs of amphibians. Other researchers have argued that climate shifts are worsening the outbreak of the fungal disease.
Swan finds love with paddleboat
(03/25/2008) In a bizarre story out of Muenster, Germany, a black swam will be reunited with its companion — a paddleboat shaped like an outsized white swan, reports the Associated Press.
Photos: Warming triggers massive Antarctic ice shelf collapse
(03/25/2008) Satellites have captured the collapse of a massive ice shelf in Antarctica. At 160 square miles the area of collapsed ice was seven times the size of Manhattan. Scientists say the collapse is the beginning of a "runaway" disintegration of the 13,680 square kilometer (5,282 square mile) Wilkins Ice Shelf on the southwest Antarctic Peninsula. The region has experienced the largest temperature increase on the planet, rising by 0.5 degree Celsius (0.9 degree Fahrenheit) per decade over the past 50 years.
Black carbon pollution has big impact on climate
(03/24/2008) Black carbon, a form of particulate air pollution most often produced from biomass burning, cooking with solid fuels and diesel exhaust, has a warming effect in the atmosphere three to four times greater than prevailing estimates, according to scientists in an upcoming review article in the journal Nature Geoscience.
Global warming could trigger dramatic Lake Tahoe changes within 10 years
(03/24/2008) Warming temperatures may cloud Lake Tahoe's legendary clear waters and put the lake's native species at risk, reports a new study from the University of California, Davis.
Markets could save forests: An interview with Dr. Tom Lovejoy
(03/20/2008) Market mechanisms are increasingly seen as a way to address environmental problems, including tropical deforestation. In particular, compensation for ecosystem services like carbon sequestration — a concept known by the acronym REDD for "reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation" — may someday make conservation a profitable enterprise in which carbon traders are effectively saving rainforests simply by their pursuit of profit. Protecting rainforests and their resident biodiversity would be an unintentional, but happy byproduct of profit-seeking endeavors.
Perennial ice disappearing in the Arctic receives little attention from the media
(03/19/2008) A big story came out on the loss of perennial ice in Arctic from NASA on Wednesday — and was mostly ignored by the media. Despite a colder winter than usual, the Arctic is losing its perennial ice (ice that lasts longer than a season) making the region even more susceptible to global warming. Perennial ice used to cover 50-60 percent of the Arctic. Results from this year's satellites show that perennial ice has decreased to less than 30 percent. In addition ice older than six years has declined from 20 percent in the eighties to six percent today.
Fast-growing coral may help reefs survive global warming
(03/13/2008) Two fast-growing coral species may hold the key to Caribbean reefs surviving global warming, report researchers writing in the journal Science.
Dams mask sea level rise - oceans swell faster than previously thought
(03/13/2008) Water held in man-made reservoirs is masking the true extent of sea level rise from melting ice and thermal expansion, report scientists writing in the journal Science. The researchers, from the National Central University in Taiwan, calculate that sea levels would be 30 mm (1.2 inches) higher without water stored behind dams.
Half of Madagascar's amphibians may still await discovery
(03/11/2008) Madagascar is one of the most unique places on Earth for wildlife. When the public thinks of Madagascar's fauna most likely they think of one of the fifty species of lemur. Yet, Madagascar possesses a wealth of endemic wildlife outside of these unique prosimians. For example, to frog-lovers Madagascar is a paradise. The only amphibians living on Madagascar are frogs; the island is devoid of toads, salamanders, or newts. But what it lacks in other amphibians it makes up for in the number and beauty of its frogs. Currently, 240 frogs have been catalogued in Madagascar, 99 percent of which are endemic. Yet, amphibian expert Dr. Franco Andreone believes that, according to recent field studies, this may only be half of the frogs that actually live in Madagascar. Dr. Andreone believes the final tally could reach 500 species!
Cellulosic energy may trigger dramatic collapse in the Amazon
(03/11/2008) Next generation biofuels may trigger the ecological collapse of the Amazon frontier and could have profoundly unexpected economic consequences for the region, warns a paper published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. Dr. Donald Sawyer writes that "interacting with climate change and land use, the upcoming stage of cellulosic energy could result in a collapse of the new frontier into vast degraded pasture." The shift could increase the incidence and severity of fires, reduce rainfall in key agricultural zones, exacerbate forest die-back and climate change, and worsen social instability. Sawyer says that while difficult to anticipate, the worst outcomes could likely be avoided be promoting "intensified and more sustainable use" of already cleared areas, minimizing new deforestation, and encouraging "sustainable use of natural resources by local communities."

What is the definition of gelatinisation?
Gelatinisation is when starch grains (rice,flour,pasta) are mixed with a liquid and heated, the starch then heats and explodes and eats the moisture, this results in the jumping of the liquid.
Be care ful when things are 'gelatinising' , as touching it can easily burn your hand!!!
(When the starch granules are heated to about 60degrees they start to swell. But gelatinisation is not complete until boiling point is reached. If heating is continued, the granules will swell to 5 times their normal size. This thickens the liquid.)
Examples of gelatinisation; pancakes,rice smilies,steaks, lemon meruinge pie.
Gelatinisation sauces ; white sauce, custard, strawberry sauce, egg custard.

In lemon meringue pie where does gelatinisation occur?
The gelatinisation of the lemon meringue pie filling is dependent on two main ingredients: The sugar, and the corn starch. Adding heat to both these elements, along with liqui…d (in the case of lemon meringue pie, water and lemon juice) creates a rapidly thickening substance. A word of warning: the heated coagulated filling is extremely hot and sticks to everything...be careful to not get this on you skin, as it will leave a nice burn. Additional info: Gelatinization actually does not require the presence of sugar. Any starch and water mixture will cause gelatinization when heated to the proper temperature. Sugar and acid will affect the thickness of the gelatinized starch mixture and the rate at which is gelatinizes when heat is applied. In a lemon meringue pie there will also be some gelatinization occurring in the crust when moisture from the filling mixes with the flour in the crust. (MORE)

Using a Definite Article in French
A definite article is an element of grammar that is the same in both French and English. In English, there are fewer definite articles because our objects are not gender-based…, as in French and other Romance languages. The most basic French definite articles are "le," "la," "les," and "las." The following list of examples shows you how these articles are used in both French and the equivalent English sentences. The key to using definite articles correctly in French is understanding the gender assignments of each noun and group of nouns.In some French sentences, definite articles are used although in the English translation, they are not. This is because in the French language, nouns are usually expressed with a definite article such as the equivalent of "the," even in the form of a contraction. For example: "Il faut cultiver l'amour." This translates to "He must cultivate (the) love."The French definite article "le" is the masculine version of the English article "the." An example of its correct use is found in the sentence: "Le basket est mon sport prefere." In this sentence, "le" is used before the term for "basketball," where it would not be used in English. The literal translation of this sentence in English is: "(The) basketball is my favorite sport."When a French object is both masculine and plural, the correct definite article to use with it is "les." For example: "Les blattes vivent dans les murs." This translates to the English sentence: "(The) cockroaches live in the walls." Again, the French sentence uses the definite article in a place where English speakers would not.When a French object is both feminine and plural, the correct definite article to use with it is "las." An example of the correct usage of "las" can be seen in this sentence: "Las maisons sont tres belles." The sentence translates literally to the English sentence: "The houses are very pretty."French feminine nouns are preceded by the definite article "la." An example of the correct usage of "la" can be found in the following sentence: "La jeune fille aime jouer avec les chats." This translates literally to the English sentence: "The young girl likes to play with (the) cats."Using a definite article is an important part of every Romantic language, whether it is French, English, or Portuguese. Although the usage of these words differs from language to language, they are a vital element in all Romantic grammar. If you are learning French, you need to remember that every noun or group of nouns is expressed either with an article or a possessive word such as "his." Practice your comprehension of the French definite articles with the above examples.Always remember that. in French, every object or group of objects is assigned a gender. The definite articles used to modify these nouns need to match them in terms of gender. They also must match according to whether the noun is singular or plural. (MORE)
Verbal: Definition and Usage
The word "verbal" can be confusing in its definitions, mostly because of its use in multiple areas of the English language. In most cases, it simply refers to spoken words. In… other instances, however, it can refer to a special class of words within a sentence. Finding the right verbal definition depends mostly on context. Read on to learn the differences between the definitions and how you can avoid confusing them in the future.The most common definition of "verbal" is its use relating to words. In this case, the word is used as an adjective to describe a noun. For example, "His verbal skills were highly advanced." In this sentence, the word "verbal" is referring to this person's ability to successfully use words. In other cases, "verbal" refers not only to words, but specifically to spoken words; for example, "The little girl was very verbal about her wishes." In this sentence, the word verbal refers not only to the little girl's use of the words, but her ability to speak them aloud.Take a look at this example: "Jerry's verbal imagery was vivid and engaging." In this sentence, "verbal" is used to describe Jerry's ability to use words to draw in his audience. Here is another: "If you want to go to the bathroom, please make a verbal request." In this example, "verbal" still refers to the use of words, but specifically, it is referring to spoken words. Deciding between the two of these definitions relies mostly on context you're hearing or seeing them in, as its rare to confuse one definition for the other in most situations.In rarer situations, you'll find "verbal" used as a noun to refer to a specific class of words in English grammar. The three "verbals" refer to specific forms of verbs that function as other parts of a sentence. The three verbals are: gerunds, which change verbs to function as nouns; participles, which change verbs to function as adjectives; and infinitives, which change verbs to function as nouns, adjectives, and adverbs."The singing girl was heard everywhere." This is an example of a participle, in that the verb ("sing") is being used as an adjective to describe the girl."Writing makes David happy." This is an example of a gerund. In this sentence, the verb ("writing") is being used as a noun in the subject of a sentence. It performs an action ("makes") on the direct object ("David")."To swim in college would be Sara's dream." This is an example of an infinitive. This sentence adds the preposition "to" to the verb "swim" to create a noun. All infinitives are formed this way. The infinitive is then used as the subject of the sentence.Figuring out how someone is using "verbal" is largely dependent on context. If you've heard the word "verbal" in casual conversation, it's most likely referring to the first definition. Hearing the second definition usually requires a more specific set of circumstances that are most likely related to an English class. The definitions are usually so varied that by learning them you can translate that knowledge into correct usage quickly and easily.The most common definition of "verbal" is its use relating to words.

Logos: Definition and Meaning
The word logos is a curious one in the English language. The same word has two very different definitions depending on the context where it is used. Each of these definitions …is used in such different circumstances, however, that it is highly unlikely that you will confuse one with the other. Nevertheless, this article will explain both definitions to defuse any potential for confusion.The first definition of the word logos is very simply the plural form of the singular "logo." A logo is an image that is used to represent an organization, such as a sports team or company. The word logos refers to more than one of these logos. An example of the correct use of the word logos in this context would be, "The company asked the graphic designer to develop a few logos that they could choose from."Rather confusingly, the word logos has a second meaning that is completely different from the first. Its meaning is quite complicated and technical to be explained in a simple sentence, but the word logos refers to a philosophical principle of knowledge. An example of the correct use of the word logos in this context can be seen in this quote from the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, "For this reason it is necessary to follow what is common. But although the logos is common, most people live as if they had their own private understanding."The word logos has existed in Classical Greek for a millennia, and the term was taken into the English language by scholars who were familiar with Greek philosophy. On the other hand, the word logo, as singular for the plural logos, was created as an abbreviation of the word "logogram." These longer words are actually constructed out of the Greek word "logos" and "gram," which mean "a symbol representing a product or idea."The two definitions of the word logos are difficult to confuse, since their meanings and context of use are so different from each other. Furthermore, the pronunciation of logos differs according to its meaning. The word logos as a plural for the singular "logo" is pronounced LOW-goes. On the other hand, the word logos in the context of philosophical discourse is pronounced as LOR-goss.Logos is an interesting word in the English language because it can represent one of two very different concepts. Intriguingly, the original Greek word logos played a part in the formation of its later meaning in English, as a plural for the singular "logo." However, the etymology of the word "logo" has resulted in this original definition being forgotten. As a result, "logos" now has two disparate definitions in the English language.The Greek word "logos" is the origin of the suffix "-logy" in the English language. Examples of how this suffix is used can be found in words like "geology" and "etymology." (MORE)

Technology Terminology: the Definition of Antivirus Software
If you're tying to understand the Internet a little better, knowing how antivirus software works is necessary knowledge. But to understand what it is and what it does, a dicti…onary definition for antivirus doesn't cut it. Instead, a functional overview is needed.Antivirus software is a computer program that detects malicious programs like viruses, prevents them from downloading to your computer and removes or disables the ones that get through. Antivirus software monitors computer systems for suspicious activity and uses an array of methods to recognize and destroy detrimental computer programs it detects.If you use the Internet, antivirus software is a must. Viruses and other damaging computer programs attach themselves to emails, downloads and websites. Opening the wrong link might infect your computer, and once infected, viruses either disrupt your computer's functioning or collect and steal personal information.Technology develops fast. Unfortunately, technology includes the viruses and malware your antivirus software keeps out of your computer. To combat this, antivirus software updates itself regularly, keeping it ahead of the bad guys. Even better, the updates are free and quick.The kind of software to use depends on your computer and your operating system. Windows, for example, supplies users with Microsoft Security Essentials. Many people opt to use their provided antivirus and other programs though. If you want to do the latter, there are hundreds of programs to choose from. Just remember that most antivirus software charges you a monthly or yearly subscription and that there are many malware programs that disguise themselves as antivirus software. Do research before downloading anything onto you computer.Understanding antivirus software allows you to make more informed decisions about Internet security. While a simple definition of antivirus is helpful in gaining that understanding, you need a full overview to really grasp it. Just remember to investigate any program you consider downloading to avoid being tricked.Antivirus software works using a combination of a large library of definitions (code patterns commonly found in viruses), as well as an intelligent system known as heuristics. The heuristic detection is able to detect many new viruses before definitions for them exist because those viruses exhibited suspicious behavior patterns. (MORE)

The Definition of a Great Dating Idea
Coming up with a single dating definition is difficult. Dates involve dinner, drinks, walks in the park, movies or even activities like bowling or golf. The most important par…t in creating a great date is coming up with a good date idea.A dinner date is often a good idea for people who do not know each other well. However, if you want to impress someone with a special time, it helps to pick a meaningful activity. The very definition of a great dating idea is one that is personally meaningful to both people on the date. Look for your date's preferred hobbies and interests to design a meaningful date activity.It seems tempting to take your date to a place you have never been; however, this approach could backfire. While new places are exciting, they are often unpredictable. It is better to take your date to a place you know well. That way, you ensure that nothing unexpected goes wrong. You also seem like an expert when you enter the location.It may be tempting to choose the most expensive restaurant in town, but a great date by definition does not leave you broke or in debt at the end. Choose places and activities that are budget-friendly to ensure that you go on more dates in the future. You are more likely to impress someone with a well-planned date than a simply expensive one.Treating your date well is the most important part of having a good date. No matter what dating ideas you come up with, the date's success hinges on how much fun your date had over the course of the activity. Come up with great location and activity ideas, but do not forget that it is the treatment of your date that makes or breaks the evening.The definition of dating involves ensuring that the person you take out has a good time with you. In order to make this happen, it is essential to come up with some great dating ideas before you ask the special person out on a date. Come up with a dating definition that defines your dating style. That way, you know that you take your object of affection on a satisfying date.Remember that the purpose of a date is to get to know the other person. Always keep that in the back of your head, and go on your date with an open mind. (MORE)
The Definition of "Profile"
There are two common definitions for the word "profile" in the English language, and it is also used in other ways that have more recently been added to everyday speech. The w…ord profile and its meanings are used more often than people realize. Celebrity profiles have been published and viewed by the public since printing was invented. Today, more people use the word without realizing it, when they create a profile on a webpage, for example. This article emphasizes the common definitions and uses of the word profile.A profile is defined as a sketch or representation taken from the side view. This is often used with the human head or face. However, it can also be used to represent a view of the horizon, an object, or an animal. Typically, it refers to shadow or sharp-line imaging. This form is sometimes used in business and for creative purposes. Another commonly used definition of the word profile is a biographical sketch. This is very often used for celebrities, politicians, and other notable individuals. With the influx of technology and social networking, profiles are becoming more popular for everyday people, who are asked to build a "profile" when joining a network. Building a profile in this context simply means to give the public information or a short sketch of yourself and your life, so that people will better understand who you are.There are synonyms, or other words with similar meanings, that can also be used in place of the word profile. You can use words like sketch, shadow, silhouette, or drawing, for example. Words for the other common meaning of profile would include biography, memoir, journal, or diary. The reason for the term "mini-profile" when referring to social network profiles is clear from these synonyms. A profile is typically intended to be lengthy and in-depth.The word profile is also used by PC users, working within the Windows operating system. The "user profile" is a record of data that defines a user's working limitations. The network administrator determines which files, directories, and applications the user can have access to. Users are unable to access any data that is outside of their profile. This is a limited use of the word, and it is typically attached to the word "user."Most often, the word profile is used as a noun, which refers to a person, place, or thing. However, the word profile can also be used in reference to "profiling." In this case, the root word is actually changed, creating a verb. To profile someone is to draw a sketch of their behavior, not based on physical appearance or recorded files, but on traits and characteristics demonstrated through their behavior. This is a fairly new rendition of the word and is used most often in criminal cases.There is more than one definition of the word profile to consider. Understanding the various definitions of a word can make your speech and writing more effective. You can also change or expand upon a definition using other words that have a similar meaning. Profile is coming most commonly to refer to a form of biographical sketch. Social networking sites are filled with mini-profiles, as everyday citizens around the world give a short account of their lives to anyone who crosses their specific homepage.To best understand the "side view" definition of the word profile, consider the most common example of it in use today. The coins and paper bills used in daily commerce in the U.S. display a profile of the President's head. There is a profile of a buffalo on every nickel. Nearly every coin minted has the profile of a respected or notable individual, object, or place in the U.S., and all over the world. (MORE)

Does gelatinisation occur in pancakes?
Yes gelatinisation does occur in pancakes. Gelatinisation is when granules absorb water and swell. It is when starch grain mix in with a liquid and heat the starch. Pancakes h…ave starch in them and therefore gelatinisation does occur. (MORE)
What is the definition of on?
along: with a forward motion; "we drove along admiring the view"; "the horse trotted along at a steady pace"; "the circus traveled on to the next ... * indicates continuity …or persistence or concentration; "his spirit lives on"; "shall I read on?" * in operation or operational; "left the oven on"; "the switch is in the on position" * in a state required for something to function or be effective; "turn the lights on"; "get a load on" * (of events) planned or scheduled; "the picnic is on, rain or shine"; "we have nothing on for Friday night" (MORE)
What dishes display the application of gelatinisation?
Gelatinisation: Gelatinisation is a term given to the method used in cooking to thicken soups and sauces and in the making of pastry and popcorn. The following dishes dis…play the application of Gelatinisation under two headings: # Sweet: Lemon Merigue Pie, Bnoffi Pie, Apple and Rice Pudding # savoury: Fisherman's Pie, Vegetable Soup, Quiche, Suasage Rolls, Curry, Lasagne, Cheese Souffle, Maccaroni Cheese, Chicken and Ham Pie. Another thought if it starts as a liquid then becomes a soft solid that jiggles.... then you have found Jello... a product of gelatinisation. Gelatinization (I'm in the US, hence the "z") is actually a term that applies to something that happens to any type of starch when it is cooked. The above example of "jello" is actually not gelatinization. Jello gels due to gelatin which is a protein not a starch. It does seem strange the the word gelatinization applies to starch and not gelatin but that's the way it is. Some other examples of food products that undergo gelatinization are gravy, roux, and anything that contains flour or starch and gets cooked with water. (MORE)

Ambitious elementary and secondary education majors from Union College, Nebraska Wesleyan University, Concordia University, Southeast Community College Beatrice and members of the University of Nebraska Lincoln PDK Chapter flooded Union's campus, ready to learn. "It was exciting to see so many different cultures come together with the common purpose of education," said Jessica Reeder, freshman elementary education major from Colorado. A total of 26 teachers from ten Asian, European and South American countries lead roundtable discussions that focused on administrative organization, curricular and instructional approaches to multicultural education. "I felt a strange, common bond with each person there. In a way we all shared the same life goal – to educate children," said Tabitha Schumacher, freshman elementary education major from North Dakota. "I felt a calling, through the PDK meeting, to become a student missionary sometime in my college education. I want to experience the things I heard first-hand." Teachers shared information about their culture and how education systems in their countries differ from the United States. Many teachers donned their national costumes, showed video clips, pictures and displayed artifacts unique to their country.

It is important for all of us to realize that the H1N1 situation may change rapidly and changes may be needed to these recommendations as the scenario unfolds. These recommendations reflect our current understanding of procedures that will help to prevent the spread of H1N1. We will be closely monitoring this situation and will communicate with the campus when that becomes necessary. These recommendations follow guidelines set out by the CDC.

Not usually viewed as art, doodles are ways to pass time and help concentrate. Perhaps they are on napkins or on the back of a handout; they are carefree, fluid creations that can contain as much personality and emotion as any canvas in a museum. Read more about Union College presents 'Margins' doodle art exhibit Giving voice to others June 30, 2009 Sean Dale wore many hats during his time at Union College—literally. On and off stage, the recent communications/public relations graduate has been a leader in Union College's theater program, UC Drama, for about five years. During that time, he's been involved in seven shows, including directing a production of his own, I Never Saw Another Butterfly, in the fall of 2008. At the beginning of the project, Dale didn't really know where to start. "I was freaking out," he said, "but Mark Robison gave me advice and I was able to tackle it." Robison, professor of English and the head of UC Drama, has guided many student directors through their first shows, and Dale learned a lot about how to stage a show from Robison, including how to organize a group of actors. "Getting everyone to show up for rehearsals was the most difficult part, but in the end, it was very rewarding," Dale said. "I almost cried at the standing ovation we got on opening night."

Quag: A stateless society would of course not be absent of violence. If you really thought that the vegetables that I was spending hours planting and growing on the plot of land next to the home I spent my time living in (for example) was yours and not mine, you could choose to come after me with whatever weapons you wanted to commit whatever violence you wanted to against me. I doubt you're so mean of a person to want to attack me like that and put your own life at risk by doing so, but if you wanted to you could. I and others would certainly take action against you to make sure that you weren't such a nuisance in the future. As I said, I could go to my non-violent dispute resolution organization rather than the government's violent courts whose rulings are violently enforced by the U.S.'s monopoly on violence. If you can't think of ways to resolve disputes (e.g. is that my vegetable or yours?) without violence for some reason then I suggest you Google dispute resolution organizations and read up on how problems may be solved without violence or simply ask yourself if you really think you would attack me with violence simply because I thought that your vegetable was mine. Are you really that violent of a person that "eventually these kind of problems will lead to violence" -Quag.

Ok first with the money there is NO WAY aside from a govt to create a monetary system. Before govt there was barter then the ancient govts came up with money that represented something of equivalent value to avoid having to take 20 chickens to the next farm 10 miles away and get 2 pigs. If there is no govt creating the money you WILL end up with runaway inflation as someone WILL figure out to print their own and make themselves rich. Sorry HUMAN NATURE has showm 100% of the time that utopias WILL NEVER WORK!
As the the land thing again why is it your land?? because you live there?? possesion may be 9/10 of the law but ther eis now law without govt. So who says it yours you?? well me and the guy on the other side disagree, 2-1 we take your land. You either go peacefully or 2-1 chances are you will have a shallow grave. I'm not trying say I would do that but it only takes a very small percentage of the people to act in such a way for your anarchist society to become a true state of CHAOS.
Now if you first come up with a way to remove greed/violence/dishonesty etc.. from the human psyche there is a chance it could possibly work but then what would you do if any of these traits re-emerge???
I suggest you read The Dispossesed by Ursula K Leguin. She sets up a perfect utopian anarchistic society (I sense you will strongly agree with this society). Honestly it seems wonderfull for the first half of the book. Mind you she had to set it up on a different planet to make it work, then she shows all the flaws in this perfect system.
Note all these arguements are for societies larger than a small village. In a small village almost any type of govt or lack thereof will work as everyone knows each other and peer pressure to conform is increadily strong. Once you get to the size where everyone does not know each other it breaks down. Even in a village, if you get a psycopath or sociopath, well all bets are off.

For the most part, ours is tempered by apathy. People could make a concerted effort to write in crazy candidates' names, but there is never a large enough population with a vested interest to bother with most write-ins. However, the two-party system we have currently does a pretty effective job of keeping most people outside of the major parties (and a few better known third parties) off the ballot. Though after Senator Murkowski (think I spelled that right) from Alaska lost the Republican primary to Joe Miller in 2010, she still managed to win the election as a write-in, since Miller proved to be a bit of a secessionist nutcase.
no such thing as a write in here in canada

I can't find a link, but I did hear about a woman in Washington DC (I think), who saw that there was no candidate running for a position for her district's Advisory Neighborhood Commission. So she wrote in her own name just for fun. She was informed that evening that she won the election 1-0. So write-ins can affect the election results.
Also, as a media stunt, Steven Colbert (who plays a conservative on his TV show) ran for President in the Democratic primary in his home state of South Carolina (though I don't know how long it's been since he actually lived there) because the Republicans prevented him from running in their primary. Some of our election laws are pretty screwy () since they are a weird amalgam of Federal and State laws (that differ from state to state).

we just had an election here and i would have loved a write in. As it was i ended up spoiling my ballot by voting for everyone. Our silly system gives 2$/year per vote. This made it impossible for me to vote for the guy who came 2nd place (in hopes of knocking off the guy whose party has won my riding for all but i think 8 of the last 150 years) because i didnt want to give the party 8$ as i dont agree with most of their platform. Usually there is a silly candidate (we used to have rhinocerous party that promised ot quit if elected) but this time there was only the established parties.
On a bright note the new govt is a majority and they will almost certainly get rid of the forced subsidy to political parties as they have been trying to kill it since it first came to be. Though, they have other policies i disagree with.

UtF: You are right that violence is not needed for a society to work. If a society didn't need violence, it would be much better than what we have today. However, though not you nor I nor the vast majority of people in the world would use violence without reason, it is the minority that make violence necessary. If an institution didn't enforce its laws, its laws would be overrun. Without laws, the society would collapse and those few violent people--those with morals that oppose ours--would rule.
Again, violence can only be avoided when everyone is unified in their morals and wants to do what's right. Different morals will eventually lead to dispute and then to violence. I think it would be helpful to note that our government's violence is defensive. You said yourself that you would defend yourself if you were threatened. While it may not be directly, governments protect us from the chaos and violence that would eventually emerge without it. And violence is needed to defend oneself against violence. And again, while all governments inevitably have corruption and thus violently take from their citizens, it is our duty to make it the least corrupt as possible and thus remove such violence.

Lisa Randall
Professor of Physics,
"Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the
Free and open to the public
Monday, March 19th at 7:30 p.m.
Do we inhabit a three-dimensional universe floating in a four dimensional space? What if the extra dimensions required by string theory were not curled up and unobservably small, but unfurled and vast, extending forever? Could an invisible universe only a tiny fraction of an inch apart in another dimension explain phenomena that we see today in our world?
These are among the questions that we will consider in this lecture about extra dimensions of space.
Lisa Randall studies particle physics and cosmology at Harvard University , where she is professor of theoretical physics. Her research concerns elementary particles and fundamental forces, and has involved the study a wide variety of models, the most recent involving extra dimensions of space. She is currently working out the implications of extra-dimensional models for experiments, particularly those that will take place at the L arge H adron C ollider ( LHC ). She has also worked on supersymmetry, Standard Model observables, cosmological inflation, baryogenesis, grand unified theories, general relativity, and string theory. Professor Randall recently completed a book entitled Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions , which was included in the New York Times' of 100 notable books of 2005.
Professor Randall earned a BA in 1983, and obtained her Ph.D. in particle physics in 1987 from Harvard University . She held professorships at MIT and Princeton University before returning to Harvard in 2001. Professor Randall is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a fellow of the American Physical Society, and is a past winner of an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship, a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award, a DOE Outstanding Junior Investigator Award, and the Westinghouse Science Talent Search. In 2003, she received the Premio Caterina Tomassoni e Felice Pietro Chisesi Award, from the University of Rome , La Sapienza. In autumn, 2004, she was the most cited theoretical physicist of the previous five years. In 2006, she received the Klopsted Award from the American Society of Physics Teachers (AAPT). Prof Randall was featured in Seed Magazine's "2005 Year in Science Icons" and in Newsweek's Who's Next in 2006 as "one of the most promising theoretical physicists of her generation." She has helped organize numerous conferences and has been on the editorial board of several major theoretical physics journals.

Most people into anal sex are straight, ugly. And it's really not an issue when it comes to marriage rights. Straight couples have it.<quoted text>
We KNOW that you will argue the point til the cows come home, no matter how rational the argument. To you, there is no adequate explanation. Even though you know the behavior to be wrong, you will defend it, as does any drug addict, defending their drug of choice. It's a hallmark of your side. Denial. Your side spends an awfully large amount of time singing the virtues of playing in a garbage chute. Unhealthy, against natural design, you will accept no rational fact.
We KNOW you are just a butt ugly bigot with no real argument.<
You will deny the existence of religion, tradition, social opinion (even going so far as to claim that most of America accepts this unnatural union) claiming the existence of "fair and balanced" polls, none of which have ever come to my house, or to my E-mail account. That is what we KNOW. Like children pointing at the cookie jar, crying for the cookie that you know is in there, even though it is not appropriate to have said cookie. Your side thinks that marriage is an easy way to get free benefits from the government, even though those were created for legitimate families and not pseudo-marriages or sham marriages. We were not interfering with the government, you are. We left the government alone, your side lobbied it for change, and you label us as the interferers. Your side lies and cheats to have your way. Lobbyists. Fake polls. Infiltration into key positions for the sake of controlling national policy. That is what we KNOW. We KNOW that homosexuality is going to occur. We KNOW that calling it "marriage" is a tragedy and a travesty. We KNOW that any old coupling off of a pair is enough for your side to hold out greedy hands, and demand "recognition". And national acceptance, even though it has to be forced by legislation. This we KNOW.
So, frankly, your post is a bunch of bullshit, and you merely wave a limp hand at the whole issue and call yourselves the persecuted, but winning, side.

How should I make a move on a girl I am dating, if at all? Read below for context.
I met her online many months ago. Two months ago, we met for coffee in person. I was really shy around her because she is so beautiful and has an... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
You've had a few dates, I think its safe to say she likes you and wouldn't mind if you made a move. When you drop her off, try walking her to her door and see if you get an opportunity. Try not to over think too much. If she got you something, I would definitely get her something.
I agree with dsc. I think the fact that she's responding - the fact that she said yes to your dates - is a good sign. Just go with the flow and see how she responds if you buy her a nice gift for Christmas.
What Girls Said 4
Just make a move. What's the worst that could happen? Based one hat you said I think she's into you like really and would probably like you making a move.
When we went skating she wasn't that good so I told her to take my hand so she won't have to lean on the railing, and she said that it's okay. Then when I dropped her off she left and didn't even give me a chance to make my move again. WTF?
Hmmmm. Maybe trying asking her how she feels. Maybe she is oblivious or she could be friend zoning you...

Dear God, what have I done? (I've started a sketchbook)
Well, here goes
I've started this sketchbook because I'm (finally) getting serious about studying and improving my art. I've realized that I just haven't been working all that hard at getting where I really want to go.
Well, the hell with that. With resources like this site (and the great people who contribute to it) available to anyone who has the good fortune to run across them there is really no excuse for me to go on the way I have been. To hell with procrastination!
I have a long way to go as an artist, but one thing I can give myself some credit for is being decent at life drawing, so I'll start with that. Here are some recent examples, these are all ~20 minute drawings using conte.
I've finally gotten serious about studying how to draw the figure without references, and I find it actually improves my ability to draw from life was well. Who'd a thunk it?
My goal for this sketchbook is to concentrate on the fundamentals, mainly perspective (where I need a lot of work) and anatomy (which needs almost as much work), but I think it's also important to maintain a sense of fun. Frankly, if you've bothered to read through my grim ramblings up to this point you deserve some reward:

... and flying grandmas, oh my!
here's my recent DSG stuff. The first few are not great, but kind of fun:
This one I actually spent some time on, even going so far as to use a reference for the rabbit. I like it, but I think it's a little too much in my comfort zone. Fake perspective and fisheye + a funny but basically shapeless alien = I didn't learn much.
This one has somewhat the same problem, though at least I'm working with a human form in space as well as messing around with the water (which I really don't know how to do). Besides fixing the retarded elbow, I think I need to add in the other hand so it's clear that the hand is abnormally large, not just badly foreshortened.

Exploring the farm and winery at Long Meadow Ranch, St. Helena
Long Meadow Ranch Winery does it all in Wine Country: grass-fed beef, heirloom fruits and vegetables, eggs from their chickens, lush olive oils, and, of course, wines. Seeking to grow everything used in their restaurant and winery, they continue to push boundaries, currently exploring a dairy and cheese-making.
I've written a few times about Farmstead, Long Meadow's restaurant, helmed by delightful, hilarious Chef Sheamus Feeley, including it in my top new openings of 2010. A return press visit included a jeep ride over dirt lanes on Mayacamas Mountains through vineyards and olive tree groves to tour the Long Meadow winery, caves, and olive oil press.
We finished with a three-course lunch at Logan-Ives House, a restored Gothic revival farmhouse built in 1874 that houses their wine and olive oil tasting room. Feeley's heartwarming-yet-gourmet cooking showcases his Southern roots. We tried many LMR wines, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon ($42) being their most popular, though I preferred a crisp 2009 Sauvignon Blanc ($18) and lush E.J. Church Cabernet ($85).
Though a pricey $150, the experience I had is available to any visitor, along with more affordable tastings and tours. And you can always visit Farmstead for top-notch grass-fed burgers on your next jaunt up to Napa.
