Climate Change Skepticism
This article, written by Charles W. Schmidt*, appeared first in Environmental Health Perspectives—the peer-reviewed, open access journal of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

A Closer Look at Climate Change Skepticism
Debate over climate change is nothing new. Scientists have been arguing about whether greenhouse gases released by human activity might change the climate since the late nineteenth century, when Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius first proposed that industrial emissions might cause global warming.1
Fueled by partisan bickering, this dispute now is more bellicose than ever.
Skeptics in the media (typically conservatives) deride global warming as a monumental hoax, while those who believe in the evidence for human-induced climate change (typically liberals) accuse the skeptics of being industry-funded hacks. Meanwhile, efforts to impose cuts on greenhouse gas emissions are failing to get off the ground. Global leaders attending the United Nations Copenhagen Climate Conference in December 2009 were unable to negotiate a binding agreement on how to reduce these emissions.2 And despite President Obama's campaign pledge to make climate change a priority for his administration, bills aimed at transforming U.S. energy policy are stuck in Congress.
But a closer look reveals that what conservative bloggers, pundits, and politicians say about climate change isn't reflected by what even the more skeptical scientists actually believe. Indeed, scientist-skeptics no longer deny that global warming is actually happening, according to Stefan Rahmstorf, a professor at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. Instead, they have shifted their attention to attribution—meaning what's causing the warming to occur—and whether mandated cuts in greenhouse gases can ever reverse it or should even try.
Popular Polarity
Claire Parkinson, a climatologist at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goddard Space Flight Center, claims many scientists who don't buy into the "mainstream" position on climate change—crystallized by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and its view that greenhouse gases are chiefly responsible for what it predicts could be a catastrophic warming of the planet3—are reluctant to voice their opinions. "It's gotten so polarized that scientists who go against the mainstream worry they'll be treated poorly in the press," she says. "People will just say, 'Oh, they've been bought off by the oil industry,' but that's not always true."
Ideally, one would like to compare skeptical and mainstream views purely on the basis of science, divorced from political ideology or industry interference. But that's not always easy, given that scientist-skeptics who do take a public stand often have ties to industry and conservative ideology. For instance, Patrick Michaels, a climatologist who writes skeptical books about global warming, is a visiting scientist at the George C. Marshall Institute, a nonprofit organization sustained in part by oil and gas companies. He also is a fellow at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank in Washington, DC. S. Fred Singer, an atmospheric physicist whom many consider to be the godfather of climate change denial, also is linked to numerous conservative and industry organizations.
In 2009 the U.S. Senate Environment & Public Works Committee published a report4 listing more than 7005 scientist-skeptics expressing a spectrum of dissenting views, many questioning the role of anthropogenic emissions in climate change, although a few are quoted denying climate change altogether. James Inhofe (R–OK), ranking minority member of the committee that produced the report, represents the extreme right wing of his party and has received nearly a million dollars in donations from oil and coal companies since 2000.6
The list was compiled by Inhofe's staff without prior consent by the scientists themselves; Parkinson says some have requested to be taken off the list. Moreover, only 15% of the scientists listed had published in the refereed literature on subjects related to climate science.7 Precisely how these individuals line up with respect to their own political views and funding isn't disclosed in the report and therefore can't be easily discerned.
In her new book Coming Climate Crisis?,8 Parkinson argues that industry funding and climate skepticism aren't necessarily related, however. Those critical of industry funding, she writes, "seem to be claiming that the oil industry wants only one line of results and that the funded scientists are no longer objective." That's not always a fair charge, Parkinson points out, especially since some mainstream scientists also take industry funding without comparable criticism. Still, Parkinson warns that all scientists "run a risk when they accept private or corporate funding, especially if the funder is perceived—rightly or wrongly—as seeking results in only one direction."
Degrees of Dissent
Parkinson, who says she has never taken money from the fossil fuel industry, says she respects skeptical viewpoints but leans more toward the mainstream view. Given her analysis of the data, she concludes the Earth has, in general, warmed since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution and that greenhouse gas emissions are at least partly to blame. Virtually all scientists agree with at least the first of those conclusions, she says—even the skeptics.
Roger Pielke Sr., a meteorologist and senior research scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder—who is often associated with the skeptical side of the climate debate but prefers to be called a "climate realist"—agrees. Like Parkinson, Pielke identifies himself as a political independent who doesn't take funding from the fossil fuel industry. In his view, those who frame the climate change debate as one that pits the IPCC against those who don't believe global warming is real or that humans have anything to do with it are wrong on both counts. Global warming is happening, he says, and it can't be explained entirely by natural forces.
Even Michaels concurs. "Of course there's a warming trend," he says. "All you have to do is connect the dots. And I can point you to five truly independent papers in world-class journals—not the crackpot stuff you see in unreferenced websites—that must lead you to conclude that slightly less than half of global warming is due to carbon dioxide."
Mainstream scientists put the blame for climate change almost entirely on greenhouse gases, but scientist-skeptics differ widely in terms of their alternative explanations. Some, such as Tim Patterson, a paleoclimatologist at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, emphasize natural "forcings" on the climate, especially solar cycles that affect how much radiation strikes the earth. Others cite man-made influences including industrial emissions of black soot, which warms the air by absorbing sunlight. Still others propose that multiple factors—black soot, land use changes, and more—compound the effects of greenhouse gases on global and regional climate.
Yet acknowledging so many possible causes of climate change leaves policymakers without any obvious solutions. And whereas mainstream scientists believe reducing greenhouse emissions is the key, skeptics aren't unified around any alternate strategy. However, at least one—Pielke—supports a modest, politically acceptable carbon tax to fund alternative energy research.9
Economic Implications
The scientific debates on climate change have massive economic implications, which explains why a disagreement that would ordinarily be worked out in the peer-reviewed literature has created such a polarized social divide. Attempts to reverse climate change could inflict enormous costs on industries that will fight to the death for their survival.10
Bjørn Lomborg, a Danish writer and author of The Skeptical Environmentalist,11 argues that if imposed today, efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050 (one goal of the Obama administration) would cost trillions of dollars and inflict more pain than climate change itself. Not surprisingly, governments won't agree to those costs, he says, which is why international meetings like the Copenhagen conference fail every time they're held.
"One of the definitions of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different outcome," Lomborg says. "At some point, you have to ask yourself if you need a different approach."
Lomborg agrees with the IPCC's view that greenhouse gases account for most of the temperature increases of the last 100 years,3 but he rejects mandating emissions cuts now. Those cuts, he says, would have to be made using green technologies that aren't yet cost-effective. Moreover, $1 invested now would save only 2¢ in future climate change damage.12 Instead, Lomborg advocates for massive investments in green technology—citing research by McGill University's Chris Green,13 he says this could produce more cost-effective emission reductions later, with $1 invested saving around $11 in future climate change damage.
Snowball Effect
Unfortunately, these nuances get lost in the extreme rhetoric on climate change playing out in the mass media. Instead of engaging in cool-headed discussions, some mainstream sympathizers attack anyone who disagrees with the IPCC, while conservatives cherry-pick isolated events and statements to undermine the evidence for global warming.
That was plainly evident late last year, when scientists discovered the IPCC had erroneously stated that all 15,000 Himalayan glaciers could melt by 2035, which is implausible under even the worst climate scenarios, according to Jeffrey Kargel, the glaciologist at the University of Arizona who first noticed the error. That error was ultimately found to be a clerical mistake (the correct year was supposed to be 2350, Kargel says) appearing first in New Scientist magazine,14 then in a World Wildlife Fund brochure,15 and finally in the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report,3 released in 2007.
The media response was nothing short of extraordinary. Every major newspaper in the world reported the error, which dealt a blow to the IPCC's reputation. Kargel says that's unfortunate. "This was a very embarrassing, grossly erroneous paragraph in an encyclopedic document," he wrote in a 22 January 2010 response to an article in The Economist.16 "The IPCC Fourth Assessment is 99.9% correct, as far as science knows . . . and almost all media reporting in the last week is not about that 99.9%; it's about the 0.1%." Yet the incident also highlighted the fact that the Fourth Assessment had based this particular conclusion at least in part on "gray literature"—non-peer-reviewed or nonpublished sources.
The IPCC suffered yet another embarrassment when nearly 1,000 hacked e-mails originating from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) in Norwich, UK, went viral on the Internet. The CRU is one of the IPCC's main suppliers of trend data on global temperatures. Several exchanges between CRU director Phil Jones and other scientists suggested they were trying to block dissenting evidence from the peer-reviewed literature. During the resulting furor, dubbed "Climategate," Jones stepped down temporarily from his position as CRU director but was reinstated in July 2010. Skeptical media have since voiced the view that just a few influential scientists control the IPCC and squelch dissenting views.
The Viewing Public: Caught in the Crossfire
These events may be exacerbating declines in public confidence about the evidence for climate change. A 2010 poll by the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies found that 57% of respondents answered yes to "Do you think that global warming is happening?" compared with 71% in 2008.17 Similar results were obtained in Great Britain by Nicholas Pidgeon, a professor at Cardiff University. Pidgeon found the number of British respondents who answered yes to the question "As far as you know, do you personally think the world's climate is changing, or not?" dropped from 91% in 2005 to 78% in 2010.18
Pidgeon blames the decline on a number of factors, including "issue fatigue" and a financial crisis that for many has become a bigger worry. "But climate-skeptic agendas [within politics] are also becoming more prominent," he says. "You have a lot of groups and individuals engaging in long-standing attempts to highlight uncertainties in the science."
Because scientists are faced with the unenviable task of informing policy decisions on climate change, Parkinson advises caution in how they communicate with the media. "Scientists might get flustered and say things they could have said better with a little more forethought," she says. "You hear exaggerations like 'once sea ice retreats, it can't come back,' which is absurd. Of course ice can come back. Or you might hear a scientist say 'all glaciers are retreating,' which is, of course, false—many are retreating, but some aren't. As soon as you make an 'all-or-none' statement like that, you open yourself up to an attack from someone on the other side, and then you're trying to defend your credibility."

This article shines a new light on climate change skeptics, who are often publicly deemed fools. To me, though, the evidence for anthropogenic climate change is overwhelming, even if it doesn't account for 100%. There are plenty of ways people can change their ways on an individual level that will not cost trillions of dollars, like Lomborg claims: using public transportation, biking, reusing, recycling, etc. And @James, I didn't read the word "tax" once in the article...

We're really obsessed with boots. But fall fashion calls for a bit more than just shoes.
1. A varied jacket collection is so necessary. The same outerwear Monday through Friday? No, thanks.
2. It's only logical that you would sport a sweater under your coat. This weather just begs for layers.
3. Knit, flannel, fleece. You can't really go wrong with a scarf.
4. You don't need windblown hair (and rosy cheeks) to look fall-ready, but it certainly helps.
5. Lastly, don't forget your hat. It's your look's secret weapon.

- "By the end, she had so much silver that the coins were slipping from her fingers and rolling onto the floor."
- ―Tyrion explains what his father Tywin did to his first wife.
Tysha is an unseen character in Game of Thrones. She has been mentioned by Tyrion Lannister as his former wife.
Her name is pronounced "Tie-shuh", not "Tish-uh".
When Tyrion Lannister was sixteen years old, he met an orphaned wheelwright's daughter on the road, apparently the victim of an attempted rape. While his brother Jaime rode off after the attackers, Tyrion helped Tysha recover from the ordeal, and they became lovers. They found a drunk septon willing to marry them in exchange for a bribe and briefly, they lived as husband and wife for two weeks, until Tyrions father Lord Tywin learned what had happened when the septon told him after he had sobered up. Jaime confessed that he organized the incident to do something nice for his little brother, and Tysha was actually a prostitute. Jaime thought it was time that Tyrion had sex with a girl, and paid Tysha and the would-be rapers to pretend it was real so Tyrion would think a girl genuinely wanted to have sex with him without having to pay for it. However, Jaime did not anticipate that Tyrion would marry the girl, nor what their father's reaction would be to that. In a fury that his son would dare to marry a commoner, Tywin had his guards gang-rape Tysha whilst Tyrion was forced to watch. Tywin sarcastically had the guards pay Tysha by dropping a silver coin in her hand for each man who took her. By the end, there were so many silver coins that the pile was slipping out of her hand and coins were rolling along the floor. She was then sent on her way, and Tyrion never heard of her again.[1]
Since this incident, Tyrion has disdained love and romance in favor of liaisons with prostitutes for money.
Season 1
At the Lannister battle camp, Tyrion Lannister is playing a drinking game with Bronn and Shae, when Bronn mentions that he overheard while playing dice with some Lannister guardsmen that Tyrion was married once. Tyrion then explains the story of his marriage to Tysha.[2]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Tyrion recounts the story in a very similar manner to the series. He does not tell the story to Bronn and Shae together, but to each of them separately on two different occasions. However, in the series he omits the detail that he was forced to join in the rape on pain of his father's wrath to complete his own humiliation.
A slight difference is that, due to some characters being aged-up in the TV series, Tyrion was 13 years old when he encountered Tysha in the books, but in the TV series he states that he was 16 years old.
In the books, Tysha is orphaned daughter of crofter, not wheelwright's daughter, and Tyrion was thirteen when he met her. A "crofter" is a kind of poor tenant farmer: the TV series may have changed his profession to wheelwright because a general audience might not know what a crofter is. In both the books and TV series, Tyrion states that she was an orphan, as her father had died of an illness.

Go get some facial reference. your piece could have been much stronger if you had studied human facial structure. learn how fat bulges, skin sags and stretches over bone. How hornes look on animals, what the interface between skin and horn looks like. Learn your subject then use your imagination to warp it into new things.
Also Rafael's work is excellent becuase he has studied anatomy, perhaps he can work without reference now. but thats because he has taken the time to learn his subject matter intimately.

Hi Roger_K!
I didn't say not to have references to work but sometimes let imagination take over remains...
it's evident that the spirit is nourished by that we see around us and more work is his vision, volume, space, the more you gain experience that is reinjected into creativity.
You know nothing about me, I can just tell you that I graduated from art school for tens of years now. I studied academic drawing, with nude art ...and I have more than tens of years of experience in graphic design, I hate unpacking the past but this is for you to understand also that I'm not new to what I do.
so I understand what you say and explained but the model that I made in three hours or more, is a quick sculpt and my wish was to work study in a final render in a 3D app. I just wanted to let my mind and my pen without reference to side,...for proof I'm working with references to my project T2126!

From that statement it seems to me you were saying if you kept at it you would become great without reference. I think perhaps this is a language thing though.
yeah Perhaps you are right but with experience and work of the eye, there is no need references with time ... I think
Good luck with your terminator. its looks nice so far

Mad Men has been a massively popular show since it came on the air in 2007, which is why it is a perfect theme to choose for a holiday party. Everyone will love the opportunity to dress in the finest vintage threads, and female guests are sure to love the opportunity to try the makeup styles from the 1960s.
Whether you want to look sassy like Joan Holloway or classic like Betty Draper, the key is in the eye makeup, the show's makeup department head, Lana Horochowski, told People Magazine.
Horochowski says that Joan Holloway is "always put-together, very sassy and sexy," so she uses heavy eye liner and strip lashes to play up the actress Christina Hendricks' smoldering traits. Betty Draper's home look is natural, so Horochowski covers actress January Jones's face with a sheer foundation, black eye liner and mascara, with minimal eye shadow. Draper's night look is a bit more advanced - Horochowski told the news source that she will thicken the eyeliner and give Jones a brighter pink or red lipstick that coordinates with her outfit.
Lipstick, of course, is one of the defining characteristics of 1960s makeup. Horochowski recommends replacing more modern lip gloss and shimmery lipsticks with matte reds, bright pinks and corals to get a retro look.

Cooking with the sun at 58° north latitude. I never knew such a thing was possible!
Garden plants were and still are a great hobby of mine. I searched the net for garden plants, and came across a site called Plants for a Future. There was, among others, a link to an ecovillage site, very interesting, and there was some mention of solar cooking and a link to http://solarcooking.org. I found the plans for solar cookers very interesting, and since I had some time at my hands, I started fooling around with cardboard and aluminum foil at once. Of course none of the plans were designed to solar cook in the far north, but it would be fun trying. I never really imagined that it would be possible to cook a full meal at 58° north, but at least it would be possible to show my science pupils something about solar energy.
Surprise, surprise! They work here too!
First I made a CooKit and a Reflective Open Box cooker (ROB). This was at the end of February, the sun was low in the sky here at 58° north. There was snow on the ground, but the ambient temperature was on the just above freezing. I realized that I must tilt the cookers to catch the low sun rays. I used half liter fruit cans for cooking pots, and put them in clear plastic jugs for insulation (greenhouse). The ROB brought the water to an active boil, the CooKit got to 91 °C (196 °F).
Now I really got interested. I searched for more information and plans, and decided to try to make a Heaven's Flame cooker and a Twelve-Sided Parvati cooker. Then I made a bigger Parvati too, 80 cm diameter.
The problem of stands
Now the real challenge was to create stands for these cookers and the cooking pots. Here in the southern part of Norway ( in northern Europe) the sun gets to a little less than 55° above the horizon at noon in midsummer, and to a little more than fifteen degrees in midwinter. It would be really useful to be able to catch low sun rays. With help from the local blacksmith, the stand for the 80cm diameter Parvati was made. The 60 cm diameter Parvati got a stand made mostly from wood. I used an old baby carriage for the Heavens Flame.
Now for the cooking of real food!
The suggestion from Prof. Roger Bernard to use a salad bowl to keep the heat in around the pot proved really helpful. I made soup in the Heaven's Flame, and cooked rice in the Parvati cookers. Delightful! After a while I used the Parvati most, because it needed no turning for two hours. I made casseroles, cooked potatoes, vegetables and fish, and even made bread which tasted really good.
But what if the sun shines for only a short while, and the temperature is below freezing point?
Obviously some sort of parabolic dish would get the food boiling much faster. I looked at the SK cookers from Germany, but was surprised that they needed so long to get one liter of water to boil. I thought that some sort of greenhouse would shorten the heating time and make it possible to cook in winter when it was cold. There is one picture at the http://solarcooking.org site of a parabolic dish with a black pot placed inside some sort of glass bowl. This idea stuck in my mind, so I decided to try as soon as I could find a way to make or get such a dish.
Then our local TV salesman generously provided me with a discarded dish. It is 120 cm wide and 130 cm high. It is not a symmetric dish, so when I had covered it with kitchen foil and directed it towards the sun, the focal point was very low, and the pot got all the heat from above, which I did not find practical. Then my husband helped me to make a stand from old bicycle parts. We turned the dish and made a hanging arrangement for the greenhouse and pot. Now the heat comes from below, like it does on an electric stove.
Trying to be scientific
First trial: October 23 2005 at 3:00 p.m., ambient temperature 7 °C (45 °F). One liter of water boiled in 14 minutes.
Second trial: December 17 2005 at 12:05 p.m., ambient temperature -6.8 °C (20 °F). One liter of water boiled in 25 minutes.
This proves that solar cooking is not only for hot climates. Even people at high latitudes, e.g., Canada, northern Europe, northern Asia and southern South America can use the energy from the sun in more ways than we previously thought possible.

Maybe they're starting to realize that driving customers further down the economic ladder is not good for business. Who will buy their products if no one can afford them? IMO, the growing realization comes a day late and a dollar short. A bad storm is coming.
From Robert Reich on Facebook: (www.facebook.com/RBReich)
Robert Reich: Are the privileged and powerful finally starting to get it? Former Fed chief Alan Greenspan said yesterday to the National Association of Business Economists: I consider income inequality the most dangerous part of whats going on in the United States. You can see the deteriorating impact of that on our current political system, and you cannot talk about politics without talking about its impact on the economy.
Bill Gross, co-founder and co-chief investment officer of Pacific Investment Management Company, the biggest bond-trading firm in America, wrote in one of his recent investment letters that the share of total pretax income going to Americas top 1% more than doubled from 10% in the 1970s to 20% today, and that his wealthy clients did not create that wave. You rode it. And now its time to kick out and share some of your good fortune by paying higher taxes or reforming them to favor economic growth and labor, as opposed to corporate profits and individual gazillions.
Is the business class beginning to understand that as long as 95% of the economys gains go to the top 1%, the rest of America doesnt have the purchasing power to get the economy out of first gear? Or are they afraid that if prosperity isnt more widely shared they'll face a political backlash against concentrated wealth, corporate power, free trade, and global capitalism?

Can we always find order in systems that are disordered? If so, just how large does a system have to be to contain a certain amount of order? In this video Imre Leader of the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge gives an equation free introduction to a fascinating area of maths called Ramsey theory.
This talk was originally given to an audience of Year 12 A-level maths students (aged 16-17) in June this year and formed part of a mathematics enrichment day organised by the Millennium Mathematics Project with a special focus on encouraging the development of mathematical thinking.
Intrigued? You can read a brief description of Ramsey theory or find out more in our more detailed article. And you can also find out how Ramsey theory gives us one of our favourite numbers.

"This talk will mostly be stories ... I want to tell you about Albert Einstein, and about his theory of relativity — what it is, why he was thinking about it and also about some of the very latest developments that have happened just this year."
This video contains a talk by one of our favourite physicists, David Tong at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge. It was originally given to an audience of Year 12 A-level maths students (aged 16-17) in June this year and formed part of a mathematics enrichment day organised by the Millennium Mathematics Project with a special focus on encouraging the development of mathematical thinking.

Mr and Mrs Huntrodd were both born on the same day — 19 September 1600. That's quite a coincidence isn't it? (See here just how much of a coincidence this is.) What's even more of a coincidence is that they both died, within 5 hours of each other, on the same day too, which was… drum roll please… 19 September 1680! This seems very surprising. So surprising that even the very hard to surprise Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter OBE, Winton Professor of the Public Understanding of Risk and friend of Plus, was surprised. So surprised that he took this photo and is now throwing a party to celebrate this unlikely event with party, this Friday 19 September.

You can join Spiegelhalter and his risky colleagues Timandra Harkness and Michael Blastland at their Huntrodd's party or you can throw your own. Visit the website to find out more! Happy Huntrodd's day!

We have several images of the week this week! And they all come from the beautiful design for the new maths gallery that will open at the Science Museum in London in 2016. The first is the inspiration that Zaha Hadid Architects used for the layout of the gallery. It's the turbulence field of an aircraft which captures how the air moves around it. This is mathematically described by the Navier Stokes equations, which apply in many different situations, from modelling the weather to understanding how blood flows. (You can read more about the Navier Stokes equations in Universal pictures and turbulence in Understanding turbulence.)
A top view of the turbulence field around the Handley Page aircraft, one of the main exhibits in the new maths gallery (Image courtesy of Zaha Hadid Architects)
The Handley Page Gugnunc in flight
The plane that will hang in the centre of the gallery is a Handley Page Gugnuncs. This experimental plane was designed for the Guggenheim Safe Aircraft competition in 1929 which aimed to find planes that could fly safely at slow speeds and with short takeoffs. The research beind the plane profoundly advanced aviation technology and understanding at the very beginnings of civilian air travel. (You can read two brilliant articles from the 1930s about the competition and the aircraft itself.)Behind the plane are three minimal surfaces (surfaces with the smallest possible area that satisfy some constraints) that are based on the shapes of the vortices in the turbulence created behind the plane in flight. The equation defining these
The design or the Handley Page exhibit in the new maths gallery
is a complicated looking combination of familiar sine functions that is governed by six different parameters. By varying the values of these parameters, the , the surface bends and twists producing a whole family of different shapes. Some of these will be created will be created in physical form to provide the support display cases used throughout the galleries. You can play with these surfaces yourself or just watch their creation in the video below.
It is thrilling to see such a striking, beautiful and mathematical design for the gallery. But of course the real strength will be the exhibits themselves. These will span 400 years of science and mathematics with objects ranging from hand-held mathematical instruments from the renaissance to modern technology. We all know that maths is the language of the universe and we can't wait to see what stories we'll find in the new maths gallery when it opens in 2016.

Cambridge solar physicist Helen Mason with South African students during her 2005 trip to AIMSSEC.
Later this month you get a chance to enjoy beautiful music twice as much as normal: not only will you hear the wonderful voices of the Adventist Vocal Ensemble, you will also also be helping to empower disadvantaged children in Africa through the power of maths education.
The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences Schools Enrichment Centre (AIMSSEC) founded in 2003, is a not-for-profit organisation empowering teachers to make an important difference to the educational opportunities of many thousands of South African children, and also to train other teachers. Experts from universities across the world, work as unpaid volunteers, with the African staff, to give professional development courses for mathematics teachers, subject advisers and field trainers working in disadvantaged rural and township communities, improving their subject knowledge and teaching skills and providing resources. AIMSSEC's work extends to other African countries and continues to grow and expand in the interest of sustainable improvement of education in Africa.
The concert, Rise Up for Africa, will raise funds for bursaries for some of the many hundreds of teachers in disadvantaged communities who are keen to attend the courses, yet have no funding to do so. AIMSSEC have raised enough funds for 7 teachers to attend the courses so far and their objective is that the Rise Up for Africa Benefit Concert will enable another 20 teachers to attend by raising £10,000.
Rise Up for Africa is at 7pm Saturday 27 September at All Saints Haggerston Church Hackney, London E8 4EP. You can find out more information and book your tickets here.

Ossie Davis (1917-2005) remembered a Southern sheriff pouring syrup on his head as a child. Davis regarded this incident as pivotal, instilling what he called the "ni***r" effect in his mind: a form, function and reaction of cowardice as a self-protective device. "In the presence of [threat]," he wrote, "you do what you have to do in order to survive."
In Davis' judgment, this egregious lack of self-esteem instilled in Black men is the remnant of slavery and racism, damaging to the Black man's image of himself. "The [African American community] shares the burden of racism," John Edgar Wideman wrote, and "understands how it hurts, scars, and deforms."
A young Black American man recently spoke of similarly systemic racism when he lived in an African country dominated by European imperialism. Only European history was in the books. Continue Reading →

Host Variables
Host variables with negative indicator variables are assigned NULL. In previous versions of Mimer SQL, the indicator variable could be given any negative value. The accepted standards however define the value of -1 as an indicator for NULL and reserve other negative values for future use. Use of values other than -1 is therefore not recommended.

Toasters & Ovens Information
Even though they do share one toasting function, traditional toasters are different appliances from toaster ovens. Often, consumers prefer to use the larger toaster oven appliance because it is more functional for other things than simply toasting bread.
Toaster TypesTypical small toasters come in 2 or 4 slice models that can have additional features such as wide slots for thick breads, like bagels. This smaller economical appliance may be preferred by individuals who are not looking for something as complex as a toaster oven, or are purchasing within a certain budget. Also, toasters are much smaller than toaster ovens, which may be a key purchasing factor for kitchens with minimal counter space.
Of course, toasters can be very basic and do not come with certain features worth noting that are included with a toaster oven. Toaster ovens could even meet your bread browning needs while providing more cooking function. Toaster ovens are also capable of preparing foods that need to be baked or broiled.
FeaturesDepending on the type of toaster or toaster oven a consumer purchases, there are numerous functions that may be considered when purchasing either appliance, some common features are:
• Bagel setting: provides the best setting when toasting bagels in order to toaster the inner section of the bread without burning the outside
• Removable slide out crumb tray: makes it very easy to routinely clean your toaster safely
• Variable temperature settings: can be convenient when wanting to received desired toasting in one cycle, and the defrost function helps save time
• Safety anti-jam: automatically shuts off toaster when there is a bread jam in order to avoiding burning
• Toast shade settings: allows user to decide toast browning shade between several levels to accommodate users preference to toasting style
Other ConsiderationsAs far as performance goes, with toasters it's not a matter of speed, but how well and even they brown bread products. Of course price rangers usually determine performance levels. For best performance, choose a toaster with a higher wattage. You may also want to consider the warranty period and whether the purchase cost makes it worth considering.
Control panel:Stick to three dials -- cook function, temperature setting.
Automatic shut-off feature:If the oven shuts off after 30 to 60 minutes, there's less risk of food being left to burn or the unit to catch fire.
Consider toasting needs: Regular toaster slots are wide enough for regular size bread slice. Other models with long, wide slots can accommodate slices of thicker breads or bagels.
Removable crumb tray:These are much easier to clean than hinged trays. The best crumb trays are dishwasher-safe.
Size of oven's interior:Consider your cooking needs. Some toaster ovens may only handle only two slices of bread; while other models may fit entire 12" frozen pizza. If you are planning to cook entire pizza, make sure to choose one that is deep and wide enough.
Oven Size:Look for oven that fits in your counter space.
Make sure to check out the large selection of toasters and ovens at Sonic Electronix to find the one that best suits you.

Department of Magical Games and Sports
this wiki
The Department of Magical Games and Sports is a department of the Ministry of Magic. It is charged with the regulation of all sport-related events in the Wizarding world.
This department was formed in response to the signing of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy in 1692, when each individual Ministry became responsible for the consequences of all magical sports played within their countries. The current affairs of the department have to do with such sport-related pastimes as organising the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament.
The department has a casual atmosphere at the Ministry, with Quidditch posters all over its walls.
The department is located on the seventh level of the Ministry of Magic, and includes the following divisions:
Department heads
- Hamish MacFarlan - Became Head in 1968.
- Ludovic "Ludo" Bagman - Left his position in 1995
- The current head of the department is unknown.
Known employees
Behind the scenes
- Safety Warning signs for rides in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter are posted by this department.
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Mentioned only)
- The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Mentioned on sign)

I actually got bored before i finished my post as i was just repeating the fact that there are more requirements to counters than simply taking damage.
As for the guardian excerpt, i like you earlier in the thread was using that as an example.
Do you really need an official response to this, pretty clearly never going to happen.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"I swear the gas is only this expensive when I am here! No fucking way is it this high. Just... damn!"
A car is a form of transportation where one sits down in a seat and strolls until they reach their destination. There are multiple types of cars. Some famous ones include Chevies, Hondas, Toyotas, Fords, Benz, Mercedes, and Op Timus Pri Mes. Even though a car (AKA automobile) is rather convenient, one might become angry when they realize they are out of gas and there is no gas station within an hour or two. One might also become angry with a car when the gas prices increase, some kid chucks something at it (most of the time they're mad at the kid, though), its engines fail, a traffic jam occurs, they hit someone, or maybe even when it turns out the car is part of an alien race from the planet Cybertron and is working to destroy the Decepticons, or worse... a Decepticon working to destroy the Autobots!
Cars are extremely common in society today, as opposed to the 17th century, when people were forced to ride to outings like proms and movies in carriages. Places you can spot a car include cities, towns, villages, suburbs, deserts, talent shows, Need For Speed games, Fast and Furious movies, and possibly even the planet Cybertron.
The first alleged first car
The first car wasn't really even a "car" at all. Ferdinand Verbiest, a Flemish member of the Let's Go See What is Being Made in China Society, was first associated with a working automobile in around 1672. It was a 69 cm-long scale model play toy for the Emperor. However, it was unable to carry or transport anything besides small matter like ants. Consequently, most credit Verbiest with inventing the first Hot Wheels. However, the ants took over the production and was one of the reasons to the fall of the Chinese Empire. The ants were also the first creature to invent and to use the assembly line. Later, Henry Ford used it in a bigger scale so people could actually see it.
The second alleged first car
The second car was not even close to being a "car". In fact, it was a tricycle. It was invented in 1769 by Nick Joseph Cognuts, and was full scale and working. It even transported people places. But it wasn't a car, so Cognuts is not given credit either for the first car.
A part that could have been used in the first car
In 1807, Nicéphore Niépce and his brother Claude invented the first internal combustion engine. But the fools put it in a boat instead!
The first car
In 1879, Karl Benz patented his engine, allowing him to make the first car. Though he didn't patented his car, only the engine, so it was copied by Kia, and the Kia Sofia and all her friends were built.
Problems with cars
Car crashes
Every once in a while, an automobile may find itself in an accident (also called a car crash) where there might be a few lives lost. When a car accident occurs, the victim could sue the perpetrator, thus gaining large amounts of cash and possibly even the knowledge that they have "slightly" blemished the perpetrator's life. On the other hand, if both parties sue, there is a possibility that one will argue that "You ran into my Chevy Viper" and the other will argue that "Your Chevy Viper ran into me".
Drunk driving
Every once in a while, it is possible that either a drunk adult, drunk teen, or sometimes even a drunk child could end up driving under the influence (DUI), usually resulting in a Michael Bay type explosion. Drunk driving is against the law, but many people still do it anyway. An outstanding 100% of drunk driving accidents are the product of alcohol, poor driving on the sober driver's part, or a morphing alien robot attacking another morphing alien robot and getting in the drunk driver's way.
Texting while driving
Another leading cause of car crashes is texting while driving, or "TWI". This type of accident commonly involves the driving of teenagers, specifically the teenage female. According to numerous sources, the text responsible for causing the greatest number of deaths in car accidents is the simple "lol", meaning "laugh out loud". This is an example of a strange language that teens use to communicate with their peers. Another example is "ROFL" or "ROFLMFAO". "ROFL" is an acronym for "rolling on the floor laughing" and "ROFLMFAO" is an acronym for "rolling on the floor laughing my fucking ass off". Both seem unusual because one simply cannot roll on the floor laughing and send a text at the same time. Also, one cannot simply defy the laws of life and laugh one's "fucking ass off".
Sexting while driving
Another form of texting while driving that can lead to car accidents is the sexual activity of "sexting". "Sexting" is derived from the Greek phrase "Θα σας γαμήσω ενώ εγώ το κείμενο" and the Latin phrase "Ego pol te pedicabo dum ego mitto verbum nuntius ex mea cellularum fabrica". The Greek phrase translates to "I'll fuck you while I text" and the Latin phrase translates similarly to "I'll fuck you while I send a word message from my cellular device", both inspiring the term's usage. An example of a typical "sexting" conversation can be seen below: (Note the lewd flaws within the sext message)
Gas prices
Another problem with automobiles is the price of the gas required to fuel them. Without gas, the car will not move until you push it, it gets moved by the police, or more gasoline is inserted into the hole on the side. Putting the gasoline in the hole will allow the driver to drive once again, unless the car has different problems.
Ends up being a Transformer
Another car problem encountered in recent years is the phenomena of cars that turn out to be of an alien species, fighting a war against the "enemy" (visitors from the planet Cybertron). The first of these alien warriors are depicted in the 2007 action documentary film, Transformers. The documentary is directed by the realist Michael Bay, who
always never goes overboard with his bullshit films historically accurate documentaries.

"In the beginning it was about finding a new sense of style outside our usual way of dressing, playing around with subversion," says 25-year-old Shayne Oliver, the entrepreneurial young designer of New York's now-ubiquitous luxury streetwear brand Hood By Air. "The first official HBA garment we did was a dolman-sleeve Champion crewneck with Greek columns across the body." Nearly seven years, a handful of personnel changes, thousands of T-shirts, and a couple heartbreaking production nightmares later, Hood By Air's Oliver has managed to emerge as the young New York designer to watch: his Fall/Winter 2013 show was the most buzzed about event on the New York Fashion Week calendar, with several prominent editors, hip-hop superstars, and artists in the front row. In an act of creative solidarity, A$AP Rocky closed the show in one of his custom HBA tour ensembles. The fashion press heralded the runway presentation—a dark, raving procession with lasers, fog, and theatrical appearances by the performance artist Boychild—as a breakout moment for the brand.
For a twentysomething designer it's undeniable serendipity, but it wasn't always so easy. Oliver had to wing it with no money: kinks with his production team even resulted in a canceled show. "They didn't get the design aesthetic," Oliver says. "I decided to take a hiatus to regroup and grow as a businessperson, and grow in life. I began working with Venus X, as a resident of GHE20G0TH1K, which loosened me up and made me comfortable with the performance aspect of design. It helped with finance and kept the heritage of the brand alive as well." When a critical mass of New York-based musicians began to adopt the style codes of Oliver and company, retailers like Opening Ceremony and VFiles reached out and revived the line's commercial appeal. Today HBA logos stream across the bodies of everyone from Rocky to Rihanna to Drake, not to mention young creatives everywhere, from Tokyo to London.
"One of the initial concepts of the brand was to create a breakdown of design genres," Oliver says. "I think the challenge for me every time is to get more tuned-in with this aesthetic, to make it even more well-polished and well-oiled." Though the clothes are technically labeled as menswear, their urban flamboyance appeals across the board. "To me this is the new dress, the new luxury," he says. "It embodies the sense of relaxed, established extravagance and appreciation for wealth. It's guarded from the intimidation of social boundaries. People consider this to be swag, but it's really something else that hasn't been fully realized yet. The hood is always current, and a balance of modernity and luxury is something I think is needed on the high-end market."
For Spring, Oliver plans to cement Hood by Air's status as a new aesthetic to be reckoned with. "I think some social media has diluted some of the core themes and moments for the label," Oliver says. "This season will be a full-circle moment—very upfront and direct, design-wise. It will establish the HBA cut and shape." Fans of the brand got a preview this summer in the form of a successful pop-up shop with Scion A/V in L.A., a capsule collection of knitwear for Selfridges in London, and a concept showroom in Paris during the menswear shows. Next up? A VFiles retail project in New York and an event in Asia, called "Yohood." So how does it feel to be told by the The New York Times that he's entered "the fashion big leagues?" "It means that I have a platform," he says, "which is what I've been wanting. Now it's time to perform."
