The Pixies Play Doolittle, But Do We Care?
NME announced today that the Pixies will embark on a 'Doolittle' tour in conjunction with the 20th year anniversary of that album.
This news makes the Pixies the latest band--following in the footsteps of everyone from Public Enemy to Sonic Youth to Slint--to play one of their classic albums in its entirety.
To resurrect an album and to adhere to a--gasp--sequence in the age of singles and iPod shuffle seems a strange and slightly anachronistic endeavor. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea; it's like a return to AOR (Album Oriented Rock, for those of you too to know this term), except within a live context and with other fans as fellow witnesses.
I wonder, however, if the album format--either recorded or live-is too contradictory to our contemporary listening habits. Might not we prefer a carefully crafted set list; one that would prevent too many slow songs from occurring in a row or ensure a variety of tempos? And what if all of our favorite songs are spread out over a few different records? I mean, who wants to hear those contemplative songs that don't sound as good without the dulcimer and horn section that were added during the recording?
I'm sort of playing devil's advocate here. After all, I'm more than disappointed if an artist turns out to only have one good song on an album. Or, if an album is mostly filler in order to prop up the one hit track. To me, that's not a statement, it's a hiccup.
But getting back to Doolittle, it certainly is my favorite Pixies album, and the one that broke them out of the college-band bubble. Naturally, I'd have to give myself a refresher course on the less obvious tracks, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't love them anew. In fact, one reason I'd like to see the Pixies perform the whole of the album would be to get a glimpse into the process, or into the cohesion of the songs, one that I might have missed the first time around.
Perhaps these resurrected albums, met with new perspective and adoration by both fans and the bands alike, will mark a return to album-making and album appreciation. Either that or we'll feel a momentary nostalgia for the old LPs, cassette tapes, and CDs but then go and make a mix on our iPods that's just a collection of singles and our favorite songs.
For about how long do you listen to an album in it's entirety and in the intended sequence before you get in there and mess with it? Thoughts on the 'Doolittle' tour or bands playing their classic albums? Please chime in.

People as ants
If the Paradiso is an Amsterdam nightclub, then the Paradiso initiative is anything but a good night out. The innocuous blurb of the Paradiso initiative [enough to send shivers down the spine before we even begin], goes on about sustainable development and then states:
The document also investigates the role that ICT can play in the hypothesis of such global societal developments, and derives the strategic research areas that can usefully be explored in the short term in order that suited solutions can be made available in the future.
… and of course, they ran a conference in January on ICT for a global sustainable future.
So just who is/are this Paradiso?
Well, many of them involved have EU connections and here is the way one of the projects on the future of the internet was written up:
Addressing Architecture and Design for the Future Internet. The need for structural changes in the Internet is becoming increasingly evident. 4WARD is combining a set of radical architectural approaches building on a strong mobile and wireless background to design inter-operable and complementary families of network architectures.
Note the assumption that it "is becoming increasingly evident", sort of like in the 1930s': "However are we to resolve this Jewish question?" Significant that a member of the secretariat is Roland Burger, Board member of the Italian chapter of the Club of Rome and of course, partner of the FP7 PARADISO2 FIRE project.
Now let me think for a moment – why would the EU or its parent, the Club of Rome, be remotely interested in people's mobile phones and internet connections? To what use can they put them? Or in discovering even newer technology to facilitate this interest?
Hmmmm. Still, they say they have to decide our future and that they have our best interests at heart – humanity they call us – as we're obviously not the experts on our own futures. Let's proceed.
They claim this of participants:
The PARADISO initiative can count on the involvement of a multidisciplinary high-level expert panel (presented here) composed of around 40 representatives of leading institutions, companies, research institutes, and NGOs from Europe and all over the world.
In plainer English [not all that much plainer], this is what it is all about:
PARADISO is an initiative launched by Sigma Orionis and the Club of Rome (Italian chapter) in 2007. It aims at exploring how might or should our societies evolve in the next decades and at deriving recommendations on how could ICT in general, and the Future Internet in particular, contribute to making this future better. It is supported by the European Commission (DG Information Society and Media) through its FP7 research funding programme.
What was that – "how might or should our societies evolve in the next decades"? Should? Ah, social engineering … by them … on us. Go on.
Now, though many of the participants are non-governmental, approved experts – "high-level" they term it – nevertheless, the whole of the proceedings includes oversight – "observation" they call it – and participation in the workshops, with a view to developing recommendations to the European Commission.
It would be as well to refresh our memories, at this point, on Groupthink, a method employed by the global gang's hideously expensive training camp, Common Purpose:
A Well-formed Outcome is a term originating in neuro-linguistic programming for an outcome one wishes to achieve, that meets certain conditions designed to avoid (1) unintended costs or consequences and (2) resistance to achieving the goal resulting from internal conflicting feelings or thoughts about the outcome.
Once more, we're at the point where the naive or those with an agenda will vigorously assert that it's all above board and will be conducted scrupulously fairly, notwithstanding the vetted invitation list and close presence of EU conferencing professionals.
We're not invited, of course.
In a segment of the 1965 Club of Rome report – and we must return to this body, as Paradiso is their pet project, Helio Jaguaribe said:
"The establishment of world order depends not only on its intrinsic desirability and viability, but also on the support of men and groups who decide to dedicate themselves to the completion of such a goal. As increasing sectors of developed and underdeveloped societies begin to realize the urgent necessity of world order, the viability of its establishment, and the fact that it can be achieved by adopting measures which are reasonable in themselves, none of the governments will be able to escape public pressure for establishing world order …
It is incumbent upon the intellectuals to play the decisive role in the formation of pressure groups in favor of world order … the establishment of world order demands the mobilization of groups dedicated to international pressure for the gradual implantation of that world order … the negotiated establishment of world order is theoretically possible and practically feasible since, in the last analysis, the probable effects of nuclear conflagration have made way an impractical alternative to the peaceful solution of contemporary problems."
And here was I thinking that the internet was just somewhere someone could go to freely express one's opinions. Silly me, when all along, it is facing grave control issues the Club of Rome needs to resolve.

Thanks for that info! Yes, trying to use this stick mostly for WWII sims. Perhaps I need to create a virtual cockpit which might put my arms etc in the right positions. Besides, I haven't bought or built anything yet that the wifey says no to. She's a keeper.

Well, I have it all installed and patched to the latest version of mods. Looks visually pretty good, but now I need to find a good Warthog config...I may be a computer guy, but patience for mapping all these darned buttons is not why I play flight sims! Off to read that guide asap! Thanks.
Found the ATAG mods for this. Is that what everyone seems to run with CoD?
Can't stand adding steam overhead to getting games, but I'll have a look at it also.
Any better sources than steam? I had some flight sims through steam which I enjoyed, and now they no longer work and have no support.
Thanks for all that great information. I do already have A10 for DCS and haven't spent enough time with it to be deadly yet. I just love the WWII aircraft more than any of them. I also though really enjoy the multi-player experience but there doesn't seem to be much multi-player games with real flight dynamics. People flying bombers as if they we F15's going vertical, etc...gets a bit old after a while. I'm going to take your advice on IL2 and grab that copy while I still can. Thanks very much!
Seriously? Sold a nut to buy mine...
What's the best WWII flight sim/combat sim? I think it's my favorite era.
Flying jets is fun, but only when it's guns only mode.
No enthusiasts here?
Hi gang.
Just posting to gauge interest for a softer replacement main spring for the Thrustmaster Warthog controller.
I've found a spring manufacturer that is reasonable that is willing to provide a small run of springs to replace the overly strong, elbow wrecking, near impossible to dogfight smoothly with...main spring. I've seen too many hack jobs that tie the main spring down, and then are never level nor consistent in feedback or centering. Of course if someone wanted to go the route of adding a longer stick, that seems to be the only other real option.
As for the softer main spring to replace the existing nasty one, I will be ordering for myself but depending on how many may be solidly interested, may be able to help provide a group buy. Numbers look like this currently:
"Custom compression spring, 3.700 OD, .120 music wire, 3.150 free length, 5 total coils, right hand wound, ends closed and ground, plain finish
6 – 37.00 each
12 – 22.00 each
25 – 11.80 each
50 – 6.80 each
100 – 3.95 each"
Turnaround time would be about 3 weeks total once the order is finalized by best estimate. Other manufacturers quoted literally nonsensical prices for this spring and it should directly replace the stock one.
I realize this may be my first post, but you call the ball. I love my Warthog and just want it working like it should have been done from the factory.
Thanks and shoot me some feedback. Dave
P.S. this will be likely be cross-posted to gauge interest on other forums

The Grappone Humanities Institute is sponsoring events to celebrate the centenary of congressional passage of the 19th amendment.
Panel on Race and the Women's Suffrage Movement
Thursday, January 31, 2019: Dana 1D, Time TBD
To kick off the spring events, a panel of faculty will discuss the role of race in shaping the women's suffrage movement. With remarks by professors Loretta Brady (Psychology) and Jennifer Thorn (English) on the role of race in shaping the women's suffrage movement, and a dramatic reading by Victoria Adewumi (Board, New African Americans) of African American activist Mary Church Terrell's 1898 speech to the National Woman's Suffrage Association, "The Progress of Colored Women."
History of Women's Suffrage Movement Speaker
Wednesday, March 20, 2019: Jean Student Center Auditorium, 7:30 p.m.
Dr. Lisa Tetrault, Professor of History and author of The Myth of Seneca Falls: Memory and the Women's Suffrage Movement, 1848-1898 will speak on the struggles among suffragists to claim the past and future of the movement and how our forgetting of their internal struggles makes the movement look more "inevitable" and like less the real political work than it was. She will also discuss Reconstruction politics and the conflicts between enfranchising black men and/or women.
Ongoing (Spring semester): Declaration of Sentiments Project
This project will involve posting (physically on campus and via social media) excerpts from the Declaration of Sentiments, signed in 1848 in Seneca Falls by participants in the first women's rights convention to be organized by women. Brief excerpts from this document will appear in venues around campus in formats that encourage viewers' write-in responses, in light of current events/culture. Topics in the Declaration include sexual double standards, divorce, unequal pay, and other matters perhaps not associated with suffrage. View a copy online.
Women's Suffrage Centenary Student Event
Thursday, April 4, 2019: location and time TBD
A wrap-up event will feature student work, discussion of the Declaration of Sentiments project, and presentation of student work broadly related to women's pursuit of civil rights and the vote. Faculty ideas for student participation are welcome, including posters or presentations of relevant research or projects. Student participation is also welcome as planning continues.

Long Island consists of two counties. Nassau county occupies the part of the island adjacent to New York City. Suffolk county occupies the rest of the island. For decades, New Yorkers have chosen to make their homes here. The cool shores of the island provide an escape from the warm center of the city during the summer. Today, millions of people make this their primary home while commuting to other parts of New York state. They live on Long Island in one of the many cities and towns that dot the landscape here. While people have been drawn here from the rest of the country, others come here because they are looking for work or a place to live and do not have the legal right to remain in this community. People who are here illegally may be subject to deportation from Long Island at any point in time.
Immigration Laws
Like other municipalities, Long Island officials do not set their own immigration laws. Rather, they enforce them. Those who are found to be living without permission in Long Island may face a variety of penalties. The type of penalties will depend on many other factors that may be part of their case. For example, someone who is merely found to have overstayed a visa with no other illegal activity on their part will face different penalties from the law than someone who has engaged in other illicit activities such as working off the books and being part of a gang. It is important to keep these details in mind should anyone be facing problems as a result of their unauthorized immigration to this part of the country. Local officials are sympathetic to the needs of those who have broken American immigration laws but they will still enforce such laws.
The Possible Penalties
Once caught in the net of American immigration laws, people typically have multiple choices. For those in Long Island, they can simply agree to leave the community. Many judges are happy to impose no penalties for the decision to leave voluntarily. Other judges may be inclined to view the decision to leave voluntarily fine as long as the person agrees to do so fast. Those who have been caught with a previous immigration violation may face additional penalties. In that case, they may not be granted the right to leave. A judge may require them to serve time for what is considered to be a felony. The amount of time may be as short a month or it may be much longer. Local judges, like judges on this issue everywhere else, must adhere to federal guidelines when it comes to deciding the penalties for illegally entering the United States.
Help From Others
While this process can be surprisingly quick, it can also be one that allows the defendant time to find legal help. Legal help is designed to help people combat this system. A lawyer can offer many kinds of insights that might not otherwise be evident to layperson. For example, the lawyer can point out that there are options that are previously unknown to the person facing such charges. People who are here without permission may not be aware of the kind of specific visas and other kinds of laws that allow people permission to stay under certain circumstances. Some people may be allowed to stay if they have seen a crime and are willing to come forward and speak to law authorities about such activities. Even if such activities are illegal and they were participants, they may still qualify. Good legal help can offer assistance during any Long Island deportation proceedings.
Developing a Plan
The island tends to be relatively fine with new people even if such people do not have official authorization to move here. However, it is imperative to keep in mind that even if local law enforcement officials have a certain amount of leeway, they do not make the laws. They cannot simply refuse to enforce American immigration laws. They must uphold the laws that are made in Washington. Someone here illegally cannot expect to live on Long Island and face no consequences should they be found out by such officials. Therefore, it is best to develop a plan in advance. This plan should include what to do if discovered. A good plan will include knowledge of local and national immigration laws. This is why help from lawyers with a specialty in this area is truly important when crafting a personal defense.

On Social Awareness: Injustice, Corruption, Veteran Advocacy Support, Human Rights Advocate and simply "Telling the Truth", even if it hurts!
Sunday, June 19, 2016
Japan's Okinawa rallies against US military base, tens of thousands of protesters express frustrations with US presence on island after a former soldier allegedly raped and killed a woman.
2 comments:
Unfortunately, the US military is the largest terrorist organizations in the world. They invade countries, after provoking them with their western beliefs, corporate greed and corruption.
During their hostile takeover, military servicemen are allowed to rape the native women and children while murdering their men. This has always been their Art of War, enjoying the spoils of the kill. They are beyond sick!! Yet the American military wants to be the world's police but they are the ones who needs policing.
I don't know why Americans are not protesting like the Japanese on the steps of the White House, to demand that President Obama address these human rights issues. Considering the larger number of military veterans who have testified before his Congress that they were raped by their fellow servicemen, and women.
Female on female rape and sexual assault is one of the military's best kept secrets, a lot of their perpetrators are deployed to S. Korea until the dust settles at home. These are tough women and the military don't want to get rid of them.
There are dozens of archived news reports that covered young female recruits being raped in the barracks at Fort Hood. No different than the serial rapists at the Marines barracks at Quantico, VA.

You points are valid yet I feel that our Congress creates more problems for our country than they get paid to fix.
I witnessed the same corrupt practices in the Navy, when the Pentagon is given too much money and too much power; things have a way of getting out of control.
Instead of looking in the mirror at our own morally corrupted value systems, the US has developed a reputation as being the World Police. Imposes its corrupted Western beliefs on defenseless countries, while pilfering their natural resources and attacking their religious beliefs. I think this is a clear example of Terrorism!! America was first incorporated by appeasing the Evil desires of Greedy-Power Hungry Europeans?!! I digress…
As a Veteran, reflecting on my military experience, I'm embarrassed to have ever been a part of such an organization that not only morally rape our young men and women, in this case and thousands of other cases, they also physically rape them. Due to the lack of Congressional Oversight over the military!!
My prayers go out to Japan!! I pray they recover from this Act of US Terrorism!! I pray they restore Peace and for America to do the same!!

Minecraft: Java Edition licensed account with the ability to change the email address immediately after purchase. Another advantage is that the account is tied to a new mail.ru mail and has been inactive for more than 30 days, and we also guarantee a working Hypixel.net server *
Minecraft is a game full of adventure, research and creativity. Minecraft is completely mercantile, the laws of the game are based on the extraction of resources and the creation of new items. Often for all players there are not enough resources, so they have to resort to competition with each other more often than to cooperation.

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. POPSUGAR has affiliate and advertising partnerships so we get revenue from sharing this content and from your purchase.
This 1 Drugstore Lipstick May Actually Improve Your Love Life
If beauty products could receive lifetime achievement awards, red lipstick would be the ultimate winner. Women have been wearing this classic item for centuries as part of a signature look, to make a makeup statement, or when they're in need of a little pick-me-up.
Even if you've purchased dozens of incredible crimson formulas, you know that there's always room for one more tube in your stash. And Revlon's newest launch, Super Lustrous Lipstick in Love Is On ($8), is definitely worth adding to your rotation.
This singular hue is a unique extension to the brand's Super Lustrous line (which, if you weren't keeping track, already consists of 82 shades). Love Is On was designed to be a universally flattering red. We tested it on three women with differing skin tones, and they all were impressed by not just how good the lipstick looked, but its quality, too.
Our medium-complected reviewer said, "This is drugstore? Nice. It feels so creamy." She added, "It's an easy, wearable shade for medium skin tones." Our deep-toned reviewer agreed. "This is a flattering everyday red — it looks slightly berry-tinged on darker skin — and I'd also wear it on a date."
The tester with the fairest skin noted that the formula felt rich and moisturizing. "The blue undertones in this color make my teeth look really white," she said. She also reported that it lasted through an entire work day, even after eating a piece of cake. It's definitely worth keeping in your purse: if any member of your girl gang experiences a red lip emergency, you'll have this versatile shade on standby.
But what each woman was especially surprised by was the Love Is On lipstick's scent. "It smells like a sweet, fruity sorbet!" gushed our deep-toned reviewer. Revlon actually worked with a perfumer to fragrance the lipstick with an aroma inspired by Cleopatra's ancient Egyptian love potions. Rose petals, peach, soft woods, and white musk add extra appeal to this alluring product. And if someone leans in for a kiss while you're wearing it, trust us, they'll smell it!
Read on to see Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Love Is On swatched on three different skin tones.

Olivia Wilde Gets 'Booksmart' For Her Feature Directorial Debut
Posted on Thursday, February 22nd, 2018 by Ben Pearson
After spending the first portion of her career acting in front of the camera, Olivia Wilde is shifting gears. She was bitten by the producing bug back in 2010, and has since shepherded movies like 2013's Drinking Buddies (which features one of her best performances to date) and 2015's Meadowland into existence. Now Wilde is making her feature directorial debut with Booksmart, which will star Kaitlyn Dever (Short Term 12) and Beanie Feldstein (Lady Bird) as a pair of straight-laced high schoolers who decide to party like crazy before they graduate.
Variety brings word that Wilde will direct Booksmart, an original script written by Emily Halpern and Sarah Haskins, a pair of writing partners who have worked on shows like Black-ish and Trophy Wife. The movie follows Dever and Feldstein's characters, who realize just before high school graduation that "they should have worked less and played more. Determined never to fall short of their peers, the girls set out on a mission to cram four years of fun into one night."
It's always cool to see high school party stories that center on female protagonists, because there have been plenty of those movies with male leads. And for every Superbad, there are four or five lesser films like Project X. And sure, occasionally you'll get a high school movie that actually has something to say about the academic and societal pressures of being a student (Justin Lin's Better Luck Tomorrow is a great example), but even that focused primarily on male characters. Tackling this from a female perspective may actually result in an approach that mixes things up a little and doesn't just recycle the same four or five set pieces we've seen in this subgenre a hundred times already.
Dever and Feldstein are inspired choices to star, too. Dever has been around for a little while, breaking out with her role as a hardened teen in FX's modern western Justified and showcasing intense vulnerability in the indie film Short Term 12 (which also launched Brie Larson's career to another level). Feldstein is newer to the Hollywood scene; she's Jonah Hill's younger sister, but she had a role in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising and brought humanity and humor to her role of Julie, Saoirse Ronan's best friend, in Lady Bird. The pair of them playing straight-A students who let loose sounds like fun to me, especially if Wilde is able to give the movie a personality beyond its stock premise.
For her part, Wilde has directed music videos for Red Hot Chili Peppers and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, which you can see below:
Booksmart is being produced by Megan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures and Gloria Sanchez, the female-focused branch of Adam McKay and Will Ferrell's Gary Sanchez Productions. No release date is set yet, but we'll keep you posted when we hear more.

Effect of Global warming Essay
Global Heating
- Introduction
- Some Facts about Global Warming
Over the century, the mean temperature of the air near Earth 's surface has risen a little less than one grade Celsius. IPCC has estimated sea degrees may lift 18cm – 59cm in the approaching century. Since the 1980s the Western Arctic is warming 3.5 times more than the remainder of the Earth. There are disrupted alterations in conditions conditions across the Earth that has led to increased inundations, storms and forest-fire significantly. Other costs can consist of higher or lower agriculture outputs, glacier backdowns, lesser summer watercourse flows, genus extinctions and hiking in the scopes of sickness vectors. These drastic alterations are consequence of increased degree of Greenhouse gases, of which, C dioxide, is a major component. These gases trap infrared beams and hence heat up the Earth 's atmosphere suddenly. There is a chromaticity and call around the universe to set about steps to cut down the ill-effects of Global Warming and debar it farther. This chapter is an effort to concentrate the attending of readers towards the issue of planetary heating, its causes and wake and assorted enterprises taken by different bureaus, forums and panels worldwide to control the threat of Global Warming ( Mendelsohn, Nordhaus et Al. 1994 ) .
- Average planetary temperatures increased by about 1 degree Fahrenheit over the twentieth century ( Sanera and Shaw 1996 ) .
- The United States contains merely 5 per centum of the universe 's population, but contributes 22 per centum of the universe 's C emanations.
- Between 20 and 25 per centum of C emanations come from deforestation and land usage alteration ( Logan, R & A ; eacute ; gni & A ; egrave ; re et Al. 2003 ) .
- The Golden Toad ( Bufo periglenes ) is thought to be the first species to travel nonextant because of clime alteration.
- Personal autos and trucks in the United States emit 20 per centum of the United States ' C emanations.
- Air conditioning and warming history for about half of electricity usage in the mean American place.
- Climate alteration is linked to stronger hurricanes, more drouths and increased coral deceases from decoloring.
- Climate alteration is linked to an addition in disease-carrying plagues that lead to the increased spread of diseases such as dandy fever febrility, malaria, lyme disease and West Nile virus
There are legion factors that are responsible for the phenomenon of Global Warming. Unfortunately, all the factors are residue of human activities.
A turning population at a fast gait is one of the biggest subscribers to heating up of the Earth 's ambiance. Harmonizing to the survey of World Bank, the population in 2008 was 6,692,030,277 and will make to an estimated figure of 7 billion by 2012. Turning population indicates an pressing demand of more land, nutrient and H2O, which are basic physiological demands. But there are limited resources that have led to over-exploitation of nature and its resources. There are several strings attached to the turning population that has led to the abuse of resources, which are already scarce, at all degrees ( Lenton 2000 ) . As mentioned above, nursery gases viz. C dioxide, methane and azotic oxide are chiefly responsible for Global Warming. But what are the grounds behind the increasing degree of nursery gases?
The power workss designed to bring forth electricity are one of the major beginnings behind increasing C dioxide degree. The fuel used in the power workss is coal that produces about 1.7 times every bit much C dioxide per unit of energy generated compared to combustion of natural gases. With liberalisation of economic systems, more and more chances are created that has lifted the criterion of life, and turning figure of vehicles and commercial and residential constructions all about are a clear cogent evidence to it. Harmonizing to the estimations, 20 % of C dioxide is emitted by the vehicles on the route and seting up the constructions meant for different intents is every bit a major beginning of C dioxide emanation in the ambiance.

Methane, another nursery gas, released from turning rice Paddies, bacteriums in bogs and fossil fuels is around twenty times every bit effectual as C dioxide in planetary heating. The processing of nylon and inordinate usage of fertilisers in the Fieldss is responsible for the higher emanations of azotic oxide, therefore forcing the warming consequence farther. The other noteworthy cause of Global Warming is deforestation, cutting down of trees and using the spots of land for different self-interest intents. Deforestation is accountable for 25 % of emanation of C dioxide in the ambiance. Greater urbanisation is one of the major grounds for deforestation, as urbanisation demands better substructure installations. Harmonizing to the United Nations, by the twelvemonth 2008, over half of the universe 's population – approximately 3.3 billion people – will settle down in metropoliss. With the growing of big metropoliss in Africa and Asia, the figure of urbanites could mount to 5 billion by 2030. As metropoliss grow, so does their impact on the planetary environment and planetary heating.
The developed states are considered to be torch-bearers for the emerging and developing economic systems and are looked up to for restricting the causes responsible for planetary heating. Ironically, the developed states, the US and China are in the front conference of fouling the full Earth, for instance- China contributes 6,018 dozenss of C dioxide in the Earth 's ambiance. Harmonizing to Carbon Dioxide Energy Emissions Index ( CEEI ) , released by UK based, planetary hazard analyst, Maplecroft, Australia has bypassed the US and is categorized as the most risk prone state amongst conference of 185 states. Australians add 20.58 dozenss of C dioxide per individual yearly every bit compared to Americans who emit 19.78 dozenss which is a important difference. Canada meanwhile emits 18.81 dozenss per individual. On the contrary, the emerging markets of China and India, considered two of the universe 's worst overall C dioxide emitters, emit 4.5 and 1.16 dozenss per individual severally, on a annual footing. With promotion in scientific discipline and engineering, there is a large revolution in respects to debut of computing machines, for assorted intents, nomadic phones and other electronic goods. Furthermore, to wrap and pack anything from food market to computing machines, poly bags or sheets are used. The constituents of these electronic goods and polyethylene are non biodegradable and emit harmful radioactive substances and increase planetary warming farther. The Information Technology ( IT ) revolution has added 2 % of planetary C dioxide emanation, about same as compared to air power, estimates Research house Gartner ( Peters 1990 ) .
In add-on to the above-named grounds, industrial and domestic wastages dumped in H2O organic structures, have non merely led to dearth of imbibing H2O and increasing degree of H2O pollution but is besides parlous for the aquatic land. Experts say H2O will go even scarcer in the hereafter. The UN Climate Report 2007 predicts that planetary heating will do precipitation degrees in many developing states to drop farther. Meanwhile, an OECD survey expects demand for H2O to increase by 50 per centum during the following 30 old ages, largely in big developing states such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China ( BRAC ) . Furthermore, it is calculated that bring forthing a Calorie of nutrient requires a litre of H2O. With H2O losingss of merely about 5 per centum, Singapore ranked foremost in the study, while most Western metropoliss and towns had loss rates of 15 to 25 per centum. And in most African metropoliss, over 50 per centum of the H2O supply is wasted or unaccounted for, harmonizing to the OECD 's African Economic Mentality 2007.
We have so far discussed the causes of Global Warming but what are the effects that are raising concerns around the universe. Some ill-effects of Global Warming are:
The planetary heating has led to increase in average Earth surface temperature and therefore thaw of polar ice at a great gait. These frequent melt down of glaciers have resulted in several inundations and other natural catastrophes. The thaw of ice at the poles had led to increase in the sea degree. Heating of the Earth 's ambiance will further take to runing of glaciers fast which can endanger the being of low lying parts across the universe. Due to heating up of Earth 's ambiance, sea degree is continually lifting due to the procedure of thermic enlargement. Melting glaciers have added to the farther harm and are lending to the rise in sea-level. The lifting degree of sea is parlous for low prevarication parts, inhabitants of coastal countries and plantations and floras along the shores. The rise in the sea degree has been calculated between four inches to eight inches over a period of hundred old ages. If the state of affairs is non prevented, the degrees could go on to lift up to 36 inches over the following century. This rise in the sea degree will submerse most of the parts and its dwellers. Around 100 million people live within three pess of sea degree across the universe. The rise in sea degree coupled with disconnected clime alteration will be plenty to displace 100s of 1000s of people in these parts, particularly in developing states ( Kirschbaum 1995 ) .
The consequence of planetary heating can be felt on seasons excessively. There is displacement in season rhythm, as the summers are acquiring longer than the winters. Furthermore, there are utmost conditions conditions. Summer season is turning hotter with every passing twelvemonth and winter season is colder. There are irregular rainfalls in different parts of the universe, destructing non merely the seasonal harvests and its output, but has become a menace to all the life existences, worlds, vegetations and zoologies.
The planetary heating is behind the spread of some new diseases. The bacteriums are more effectual and multiply much faster in warmer temperatures compared to cold temperatures. The addition in temperature has led to increase in the bugs that cause several awful diseases. In add-on to this, several chronic tegument diseases have been discovered that are merely inauspicious effects of heating up of Earth 's ambiance ( Epstein 2000 ) .
The consequence of planetary heating is rather apparent on the carnal land. Some animate beings have become nonextant due to loss of their natural home ground or their inability to germinate to the rapid alterations in the clime. Another major impact of Global Warming has been noticed in the altering behaviour of wildlife. Major alterations are seen in the animate beings as they react to the heater environment, which are caused due to planetary heating. A behavior form of the animate beings studied shows that the animate beings are get downing to switch their population towards north or towards a higher heights. A simple survey that was made in the University of California on a little butterfly is adequate to picture the alterations in the handiness of species in the heater countries. A study at one hundred and fifty one countries showed that the butterflies were acquiring less populated in the southern countries which were warmer as compared to the northern countries. Hence the butterflies have migrated from warm southern zone to cooler northern zone. The marine life is besides really sensitive to the addition in temperatures ( Botkin, Saxe et Al. 2007 ) .
Scientist 's are concerned that continued planetary heating will speed up ozone devastation and increase stratospheric ozone depletion. Ozone depletion gets worse when the stratosphere becomes colder. Because planetary heating traps heat in the troposphere, less heat reaches the stratosphere which will do it colder. Greenhouse gases act like a cover for the troposphere and do the stratosphere colder. In other words, planetary heating can do ozone depletion much worse right when it is supposed to get down its recovery during the following century ( Last 1993 ) .
The consequence of planetary heating will decidedly be seen on some species in the H2O. A study was made in which the Marine life reacted significantly to the alterations in H2O temperatures. It is expected that many species will decease off or go nonextant due to the addition in the temperatures of the H2O, whereas assorted other species, which prefer warmer Waterss, will increase enormously. Possibly the most distressing alterations are expected in the coral reefs that are expected to decease off as an consequence of planetary heating. Even the penguins that live on poles are acquiring affected as a consequence of planetary heating. Due to thaw of polar ice their life rhythm is acquiring disturbed and which leads to decease of many animate beings ( Immerwahr 1999 ) .
There are several other issues that are non being discovered yet, but these disconnected alterations are adequate to wake up planetary leaders, conservationists and reformers. The authoritiess of different states have stepped in and are working on likely set of solutions in coaction with different bureaus and NGOs to contend against Global Warming. Besides, many forums and panels across the Earth have come actively into being ( Stamm, Clark et Al. 2000 ) .
Dolf Gielen, International Energy Agency, co-author of IEA Energy Technology Perspectives believes that " If you have a combination of maximal efficiency and alternate fuels, you can cut down oil demand in 2050 by 27 per centum compared to 2005 degrees. " The alternate beginnings of fuel are air current, hydro power and solar energy. There is a rush in demand for renewable beginnings of energy. Alternate fuel ( alternate fuel ) , besides known as non-conventional fuels, is any stuff or substance that can be used as a fuel, other than fossil fuels, or conventional fuels of crude oil ( oil ) , coal, propane, H, and natural gas. The term " alternate fuels " normally refers to a beginning of which energy is renewable ( Lovins 2005 ) . The chief intent of fuel is to hive away energy in a signifier that is stable and can be easy transported from the topographic point of production to the terminal user. Almost all fuels are chemical fuels that store chemical possible energy. The terminal user is so able to devour the fuel at will, and let go of energy, normally in the signifier of heat for a assortment of applications, such as powering an engine, or heating a edifice. Some good knew alternate fuels include biodiesel, ethyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, chemically stored electricity ( batteries and fuel cells ) , H, methane, natural gas, wood, vegetable oil, biomass, and insignificant oil. Harmonizing to Gielen, some 36 per centum of entire C dioxide emanations decreases could come from energy efficiency. Fuel-efficient autos are an of import option, as are efficient contraptions. There is a batch that can be done with edifice shells and industrial motor systems. The UK authorities has agreed to European Union marks for 2020: cut down GHG emanations 20 per centum below 1990 degrees and 30 per centum if other states commit to decreases ; cut down energy ingestion by 20 per centum ; and increase the portion of renewable energy in the UK 's energy mix to 15 per centum. New atomic power is besides planned.
The construct of C credits has evolved and come into trend. Many C evaluation bureaus have come into being. This is a fresh effort to extenuate the growing in the concentration of nursery gases. It works on C trading mechanism. One C recognition is tantamount to one ton of C dioxide. The developed states buy C credits from developing states in order to control the increasing degree of nursery gases. Besides, there are many organisations that deal in merchandising of C credits to such organisations that are determined to take down their C emanation degree ( Whalley and Zissimos 2000 ) .
Al Gore, an influential name in the sphere of U.S. Politicss sing the risky effects of Global Warming. He has tried to make consciousness sing the warming of Earth 's ambiance through his self-generated documental 'An Inconvenient Truth ' and a popular book. He has repeatedly warned people about the sick effects of Global heating and its redresss ( Kellstedt, Zahran et Al. 2008 ) . Al Gore is actively involved in analyzing and analysing the clime and alterations involved for about three decennaries. Al Gore has urged the Earth to take effectual steps to control the threat of Global Warming. He has suggested that turning of switch grass and saw grass should be promoted. Using the options like ethyl alcohol, cellulosic ethyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, and green Diesel fuels can restrict the degree of pollution responsible for planetary heating. It is discovered that flaring the woods contributes two trillion dozenss of C dioxide every twelvemonth across the universe. It accounts for around 20 % of the entire emanation of C dioxide through assorted beginnings. Al Gore believes that proper organisation of woods and enterprises sing forestation and detering deforestation can turn out to be the most effectual scheme to debar the catastrophe.
Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change is yet another enterprise to measure the clime alteration. It is a prima intergovernmental organic structure that was established with the joint attempts of United Nations Environment Program ( UNEP ) and World Meteorological Organization ( WMO ) . The aim of the panel is to supply the universe with a clear scientific position on the current province of clime alteration and its possible environmental and socio-economic effects. The IPCC is fundamentally a scientific organic structure. It reviews and assesses the most recent scientific, proficient and socio-economic information produced world-wide relevant to the apprehension of clime alteration. It does non carry on any research nor does it supervise clime related informations or parametric quantities. Thousands of scientists from all over the universe contribute to the work of the IPCC on a voluntary footing. Review is an indispensable portion of the IPCC procedure, to guarantee an nonsubjective and complete appraisal of current information. Differing point of views bing within the scientific community are reflected in the IPCC studies. Because of its scientific and intergovernmental nature, the IPCC embodies a alone chance to supply strict and balanced scientific information to determination shapers. By backing the IPCC studies, authoritiess acknowledge the authorization of their scientific content. The work of the organisation is hence policy-relevant and yet policy-neutral, ne'er policy-prescriptive.
The Kyoto Protocol is an international understanding linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The major characteristic of the Kyoto Protocol is that it sets adhering marks for 37 industrialised states and the European community for cut downing nursery gas ( GHG ) emissions.These sum to an norm of five per cent against 1990 degrees over the five-year period 2008-2012. The major differentiation between the Protocol and the Convention is that while the Convention encouraged industrialised states to stabilise GHG emanations, the Protocol commits them to make so. Acknowledging that developed states are chiefly responsible for the current high degrees of GHG emanations in the ambiance as a consequence of more than 150 old ages of industrial activity, the Protocol places a heavier load on developed states under the rule of " common but differentiated duties. "
The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on 11 December 1997 and entered into force on 16 February 2005. 184 Parties of the Convention have ratified its Protocol to day of the month. The elaborate regulations for the execution of the Protocol were adopted at COP 7 in Marrakesh in 2001, and are called the " Marrakesh Accords. "
Harmonizing to experts and environment militants, most of the universe 's energy usage and C emanations come from metropoliss. By bettering efficiency, transit, and urban planning, the universe 's biggest metropoliss could turn from defilers into a critical portion of the solution to climate alteration – and better topographic points to populate ( Myung-bak ) .
Proper usage and direction of H2O is quintessential. John F. Kennedy one time said that whoever solved the universe 's H2O job should have two Nobel Prizes – 1 for scientific discipline, one for peace ( Balk 1990 ) . Kennedy 's words still pealing true today. Harmonizing to figures from the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development ( OECD ) , one billion people lack entree to clean imbibing water.While clime alteration could worsen the current H2O crisis, the basic job is non a deficiency of H2O, but instead its misdirection, the OECD says. At its one-year Forum in 2007, the organisation 's Secretary-General, Angel Gurria, identified two jobs that have to be solved to turn to current degrees of waste and dissipation.
One, the OECD says, is that H2O is frequently excessively inexpensive or free. " This is peculiarly of import in agribusiness, where the usage of H2O for irrigation, which accounts for the greatest usage of H2O in the universe, is by and large underpriced or sometimes given away as a free good, and therefore leads to wasteful usage, " said Gurria. Because H2O is frequently non appreciated as a limited resource, it is ill managed ( Stiles 1996 ) . In a planetary study of urban H2O direction conducted for the Third World Centre for Water Management ( TWCWM ) , Western European metropoliss showed surprisingly bad consequences. Phnom-Penh, the Kampuchean capital, provides an interesting illustration for how much H2O can be saved if functionaries are willing to put, says TWCWM laminitis Asit K. Biswas. After old ages of civil war, the metropolis 's H2O system had wholly degraded. In 1993, a astonishing 80 per centum of all H2O transported was lost through leaks and corroded pipes. Fourteen old ages subsequently, this figure has dropped to 8.5 per centum. What did the fast one in Singapore and Phnom Penh? Both metropoliss turned H2O into a trade good with a existent monetary value. Singapore 's H2O workss now recycle waste H2O at such a high quality that semi-conductor manufacturers that need highly clean H2O are willing to pay higher monetary values than for normal tap H2O. From December 7, 2009, environment curates and functionaries will run into in Copenhagen for the United Nations clime conference to thresh out a replacement to the Kyoto protocol. The conference, held at the modern Bella Center, will run for two hebdomads. One hundred-and-ninety-two states have signed the clime alteration convention. More than 15,000 functionaries, advisors, diplomats, protestors and journalists are expected to go to the meet, joined by caputs of province. Developing states, including India and China, believe it is the duty of affluent industrialized states such as the United Kingdom and the United States to put a clear illustration on cutting C emanations. It may be mentioned that the US had rejected the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, with the so US President George W Bush reasoning that the 5 per cent decreases required by Kyoto would 'wreck the American economic system ' . However, Copenhagen sees a gleam of hope on President Barack Obama 's stated purpose to accomplish an 80 per cent decrease of nursery gas emanations by 2050. Some people have even named the event, the 'Hopenhagen ' Summit. Every twelvemonth, more than 15 million hectares of tropical forest – an country larger than the province of New York – are cut down, let go ofing 1000000s of dozenss of C emanations into the ambiance.
Without action now, many of the universe 's tropical woods will be lost by this century 's terminal. With these woods we will lose of import species, natural resources and local supports, every bit good as the chance to decelerate clime alteration. In fact, recent surveies show that activities to cut down deforestation are a extremely cost-efficient manner of cut downing nursery gas emanations ( McCarl and Schneider 2000 ) . See the followers:
- A 2006 survey commissioned by the U.K. Treasury has concluded that cut downing deforestation offers a major chance to cut down emanations at a comparatively low cost. The survey found that in eight states responsible for 70 per centum of emanations from land usage alterations, merely one hectare of wood land could be deserving every bit much as $ 25,000 in footings of C segregation at a C monetary value of $ 35- $ 50. The returns from this same hectare of land would run from $ 2 a twelvemonth for pastoral usage, to merely over $ 1,000 for soy and palm oil transition and erstwhile returns of $ 236 to $ 1,035 from lumber gross revenues.
- The same survey provinces that, if no action is taken to cut down our emanations, each ton of C dioxide emitted will do $ 85 worth of harm to the universe 's economic system.
- Conversely, clime alteration research workers Brent Sohngen and Robert H. Beach have found that for an mean monetary value of $ 27.25 per ton of C dioxide in the emanations exchange market " deforestation can potentially be virtually eliminated. " These research workers have concluded that there is a big potency for decreased deforestation to assist extenuate the costs of cutting nursery gas emanations ( Haugerud and Harding 2001 ) .
- Harmonizing to Sohngen and Bach, attempts to cut down planetary deforestation could ensue in the segregation of 76 billion dozenss of C and 422 million hectares in extra woods.
- Finally, Stuart E. Eizenstat, main American negotiant of the Kyoto protocol, has noted that the extra income that poorer states would have from expanded usage of forestry beginnings could actuate their engagement in a post-Kyoto government.
- Extra Benefits of Forests
- More than 1 billion people populating in utmost poorness depend on woods for their H2O, fuel or supports ( Sunderlin, Angelsen et Al. 2005 ) .
- Tropical woods cover merely 12 per centum of the planet but are place to more than one-half of the Earth 's known workss and carnal species. At the current rate of deforestation, tropical rain woods will virtually vanish as working ecosystems within 100 old ages. Deforestation besides degrades of import natural resources, like supplies of clean fresh H2O. In add-on, the monolithic combustion of woods can take to terrible air pollution both locally and 1000s of stat mis off ( Nations 2006 ) .
- South American woods are place to the greatest works biodiversity in the universe, and are the beginning of indispensable pharmaceutical ingredients. Up to 50 per centum of pharmaceuticals on the market today have an beginning in natural merchandises, and 42 per centum of the top 25 selling drugs worldwide are derived from natural merchandises.
- Forests contribute significantly to national economic systems through diversion and touristry. For illustration, 3.5 million people visited Brazil 's 150 preservation countries between 1991 and 1999, assisting fuel a quintuple addition in touristry for the state.
- But the indefatigable attempts of leaders across the Earth is non sufficient and will travel in vain unless every planetary citizen articulation custodies and battle for prolonging Earth suited plenty to populate. Every individual individual across the universe can lend his/her spot in this survival conflict. Without enterprises taken from multitudes, it is a romantic dream to control the effects of Global Warming. The best solution is to populate 'green ' . And there are few simple ways in which we can lend our portion and demo our concern that 'we attention for female parent Earth ' .
Recycle – Recycle everything you ca n't cut down or recycle.
Turn it off – Turn off telecastings, pictures, stereos and computing machines when they are non in usage – these contraptions still use 10-60 % of power even when on 'stand by ' . A power strip is a practical manner to exchange off VCR, Television and DVD participant stand-by losingss ; you can cut off all 3 devices at one time. Another tip to salvage energy: Do n't go forth coursers for nomadic phones plugged in when you 're non utilizing them. Try to utilize minimal sum of electricity both at place and workplace.
Switch to renewable energy
Buy non-polluting green electricity – electricity generated from natural beginnings such as solar, hydro and air current power. Buy and utilize energy efficient contraptions that could salvage significant sum of energy
Save paper – Around the universe we use 1 million metric tons of paper every twenty-four hours. Too much of this paper use is uneconomical and unneeded and puts immense force per unit areas on the environment. Try to restrict the usage of paper and seek to recycle it both at place and workplace.
Use H2O expeditiously – Public H2O systems require a batch of energy to sublimate and administer H2O to families. Salvaging H2O, particularly hot H2O, can take down nursery gas emanations. Save H2O and utilize it moderately merely when required. Make non misapply H2O or do non allow it run unnecessarily. Reuse H2O from rinsing veggies to H2O workss in the milieus.
See the light – Use compact fluorescent visible radiation bulbs. These energy-efficient bulbs aid battle clime alteration because they cut down the sum of fossil fuels that public-service corporations burn. You will salvage 100 lbs of C for each incandescent bulb that you replace with a compact fluorescent, over the life of the bulb.
Inflate your tyres – If you own a auto, it will acquire better gas milage when the tyres are to the full inflated, so it will fire less gas and emit less C. Check your car monthly to guarantee that the tyres are to the full inflated. Follow this tip and salvage 300 lbs of C dioxide for every 10,000 stat mis you drive.
Environment Friendly Trips – Whenever you go on a trip, take the environment friendly option to make so. Plant as many trees and workss in your milieus as possible. Trees absorb C dioxide and supply fresh O to take a breath. In this respect, many running groups and voluntary groups have come up with an aim to works trees and put the refuse lying all over in the bins. They non merely make this, but have besides fall in custodies to restrict the usage of vehicles and prefer walking, cycling or even running to workplace. Furthermore, people have come up with the impression of auto pool. A few people who work in the same organisation or nearby move in the same vehicle thereby salvaging fuel and executing their function in cleaning the environment. We, as persons, should take a declaration that we will ne'er slop the refuse and set it merely in the wastepaper basket. Use options to the pesticides and semisynthetic fertilisers for better pollution-free outputs.
So far we have discussed about planetary heating, its causes and effects and what enterprises are being taken across the universe and what, we, as persons can make to restrict it. It is non so simple as it sounds as we have got used to a sort of life style where bulk of us, do non pay any attentiveness to scarce resources but exploit them as if they are non-exhaustible, eco-friendly and extremely utile. Undoubtedly, some of them have made our lives rather easy, but they are merely sweet toxicant pills that are demoing their reaction easy and steadily and the reactions are merely irreversible. But merely scrabbling some facts, our concerns and sentiments are non plenty. It has reached a phase where actions are quintessential instead than heated treatments. The demand of the hr is to do witting attempts and distribute consciousness amongst everyone we know and promote them to fall in custodies to cut down the dire results of planetary heating ( Barnes-Davies 2009 ) . It has to be chain-like expression, from persons to communities to societies and so states at big to do it a immense success. We need to move without blowing much of the clip ; else it will be truly late even to believe.

Maternal smoking during pregnancy can lead to arterial damage detectable in the offspring at 5 years, yet three-quarters of parents of young children continued to smoke after participating in smoking cessation programs, researchers reported.
Children whose mothers smoked while pregnant had carotid artery intima-media thickness 18.8 µm thicker (95% CI 1.1 to 36.5, P=0.04) than those with no prenatal smoke exposure, according to Cuno S.P.M. Uiterwaal, MD, PhD, and colleagues from University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands.
Exposed children also had arterial distensibility that was 15% (95% CI −0.3 to −0.02, P=0.02) lower, the researchers reported in the January issue of Pediatrics.
Passive smoking has been linked to thickening of arterial walls in young adults and abnormalities of endothelial function in children, but it has not been clear whether maternal smoking interferes with vascular development in the fetus.
Action Points
- Note that 54% of children in the U.S. have biochemical evidence of exposure to secondhand smoke, and children account for 28% of the deaths attributable to secondhand smoke.
- Note also that this study indicates that exposure of children to parental tobacco smoke during pregnancy affects both their arterial structure and arterial distensibility in early life.
Uiterwaal and colleagues analyzed data from a prospective population-based study that included 259 children.
The children were evaluated at 1 month and then at 5 years, at which time they underwent carotid ultrasound examinations. At both clinic visits, parents responded to questionnaires about smoking history.
No differences were seen in carotid artery intima-media thickness in children of mothers who had not smoked during pregnancy but reported doing so after pregnancy (−0.05 µm, 95% CI −16.6 to 16.5), whereas children whose mothers smoked both during and after pregnancy had increases of 23.3 µm (95% CI 3.6 to 43).
Arterial distensibility also was lower by 19% (95% CI −0.4 to −0.1) in those whose mothers smoked both during and after pregnancy.
The highest increase in carotid artery intima-media thickness was seen in children with two parents who smoked during the pregnancy, at 27.7 µm (95% CI 0.2 to 55.3).
Those children also had arterial distensibility that was 21% lower (95% CI −0.4 to −0.03).
"Our study shows that tobacco smoke exposure during gestation has structural and functional effects on the vascular wall of young children," the researchers observed.
In an comment accompanying the study, Susanne E. Tanski, MD, of Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, N.H., and Karen M. Wilson, MD, of the University of Rochester, N.Y., said that more work needs to be done to elucidate the relationship between fetal exposure and later life complications.
"We are only beginning to understand the long-term effects of [secondhand smoke] on cardiovascular health and the pediatric antecedents of adult heart disease," they wrote.
Whether the vascular changes found in this study will persist remains to be seen, but the study does suggest that parental smoking can have cardiovascular consequences for their children.
"This study provides one more piece of evidence for the importance of smoking cessation, in particular among families with young children," observed Tanski and Wilson.
The effects of smoking cessation interventions directed specifically to parents of young children were explored in a second study, also published in the January issue of Pediatrics.
This was a meta-analysis that included 18 trials and 7,053 participants. The interventions included provision of educational materials, counseling, and medications, and took place in the home, pediatrician's office, and well-baby clinics.
In only four of the trials was there a statistically significant difference between the intervention and control.
In these trials, parental quit rates following cessation interventions averaged 23.1% compared with 18.4% among controls, according to Laura J. Rosen, PhD, of Tel Aviv University in Ramat Aviv, Israel, and colleagues.
In the individual studies, rates of smoking cessation ranged from 0.9% to 83.6% in the intervention groups and from 0.8% to 72.1% among controls.
The overall risk ratio for efficacy of the intervention was 1.34 (95% CI 1.05 to 1.71, P=0.02), according to Rosen and colleagues.
The risk difference between the intervention and control groups was 0.04 (95% CI 0.01 to 0.07, P=0.005), meaning that 4% more parents in the intervention groups stopped smoking than in control groups.
However, more than 75% of parents in these trials continued to smoke, "leaving the overwhelming majority of children potentially exposed to their parents' smoke," the researchers wrote.
They suggested that a better way of motivating parents to quit smoking might be for clinicians to encourage them to make the effort for the well being and future health of their children.
"More research is needed to build effective interventions for encouraging parental cessation for the benefit of children, to isolate components that best maximize the motivating function of child welfare, and to identify effective interventions for the protection of children from tobacco smoke exposure if parents are not ready or able to quit," Rosen and colleagues concluded.
Limitations of the meta-analysis included the possibility of recruitment bias and heterogeneity among the trials.

(NEW YORK) — Before children explore the world on foot, they explore it with their five senses.Early development often includes children listening, looking, touching, smelling and tasting their way through their surroundings. The mouth is one of the first body parts that babies have control of, and anything that they can see and touch is often something they can sink their teeth — or gums — into. Unfortunately, this newfound eagerness for discovery is often accompanied by the hazard of accidentally swallowing objects and potential choking.A new study in the journal Pediatrics, by researchers at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, found the number of ER visits by children younger than 6 who accidentally swallowed objects nearly doubled between 1995 and 2015. "This means an average of 99 children per day are going to emergency departments for foreign body ingestion," Dr. Danielle Orsagh-Yentis, a pediatric gastroenterologist and primary author of the study, told ABC News.The study found the most common objects ingested were coins, specifically pennies and quarters. The other most likely objects were small toys, jewelry and so-called button batteries.Dr. Orsagh-Yentis attributes this rise in hospital visits to the increased availability of easily swallowed objects in households despite stricter choking hazard regulations."Button batteries," she told ABC News, "are in things like watches, hearing aids, small remotes, and in toys. The relative availability of these and other objects has increased since 1995."While most kids who swallow objects have few or no symptoms, swallowing any object has the ability to cause difficulty breathing or choking. Certain objects such as batteries and magnets pose the greatest risk when swallowed, since they could potentially cause burns or tear the lining of the esophagus, stomach or intestine."What is of paramount importance is practicing safe storage" said Dr. Orsagh-Yentis, who recommends that any small objects be stored and locked at an elevated level. "If children can't see them, they can't be enticed by them." The following are some ways to prevent accidental object ingestion in kids:
Put yourself in their shoes. Get down on all fours so you can see what your child sees in nooks and crannies that you otherwise may not see while standing. You'll also be able to tell which drawers, cabinets or trash containers they are able to open from that level.
Store small objects in closed containers, out of reach and locked away. Even though some containers and most prescription bottles are made to be childproof, never underestimate a curious child. The key is out of sight, out of reach, out of mouth.
Keep your guard up. Kids can be speedy, and it sometimes takes just a few seconds for them to swallow something they shouldn't. While it's virtually impossible to keep them away from every single object they might accidentally swallow, close supervision can help prevent many of these accidents from happening.

Hublot has revealed the official watch of French footballing superpower Paris St-Germain, the club which the Swiss watch brand sponsors.
The new piece is called the Big Bang Unico Bi-Retrograde Paris St-Germain, in celebration of the club's North America pre-season summer tour.
Although the name may be a bit of a tongue-twister, the watch (and indeed the partnership itself with Paris St-Germain) is further proof of Hublot's push in the global football world, where it has also collaborated with Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, Italian football club Juventus, legendary Brazilian striker Pelé, and the Fifa Women's World Cup.

The human mind can be compared to a simple computing machine, a simple computing machine that is a highly complex and paradoxical organic computing machine. Where man-made computers adhere strictly to mathematical logic, the human brain is able to present logical fallacies as absolute logic with the power of emotions. This is simple to prove, we just need to look for a smoker to see this in action. There is no logical reason to poison the body with cigarettes, unless the logic is to destroy the body. Nobody smokes to destroy their bodies, intentionally. We smoke to destroy painful emotions and the unwanted result is destruction of the body. Emotional reasoning at its best and worst, not very logical. If our leg hurts we don't destroy it, we look for the cause of the pain and resolve it. The same goes for painful emotions, mental hurts that need resolution, we can't destroy the emotions, we need to find the root cause and resolve it. The comparison between a simple computer and the brain is really not fair here, so, why are we making it? Because we need to activate the imagination for internal change to take place. Learning is easier when the imagination is engaged and we want to learn to use our imagination to change our perspective on reality. When we realize that some of our thinking is irrational, then we can break out of our old habits of thinking, then we can deconstruct our habits, destroy that habits we don't want and strengthen the ones we want to keep. Brushing our teeth has deeper meaning now and smoking has no real place in our lives. When we take control of our language, we take control of our thoughts. When we take control of our thoughts, we take control of our imagination. When we take control of our imagination, we take control of our subconscious mind. When we take control of our subconscious mind, we take control of our perception of reality. When we take control our perception of reality, only then will we be truly free and have freedom of choice.
The human mind functions as well as its thoughts, as well as the material we feed into it. When we think negative thoughts, the brain becomes a negative thought computer. If we fear spiders and think about spiders, the brain becomes a fear amplifying thought machine and we become hyper vigilant and imagine seeing spiders everywhere. If we get scared enough, even this text starts to look like spiders. When we think positive thoughts, the brain becomes a positive thought computer. When we think of loved ones, we think happy tender thoughts that give us energy to better ourselves for the benefit of our loved ones. It becomes easier to find love and to become love in our daily lives. Roses don't smell as good as when we are in love. When we watch a horror movie, our imagination is filled with scenes of scary situations and we feel fear. When we watch a comedy movie, our imagination is filled with funny incident that happen in the movie. We laugh and we feel good because we are repeatedly exposed to funny scenarios. The scenes are repeated enough many times to affect our state of being, the same goes for our thoughts and the words we think repeatedly.

January 9 – Daily Feast
Sometimes great distances exist between the high points of our lives. Time moves swiftly and we tend to let it slip away without making it count while we wait on another high experience. We discount it as nothing unless we have reached some spectacular height and have passed ten other people on the way. The Indian does not consider himself idle when he stands still watching, listening, seeing the stars, or watching the sunset. His spirit-eyes absorb these signs and wonders to feed him when he cannot see the rolling hills, the flowing streams. A narrow view is one that constantly asks, What shall I eat? What shall I wear? What can make me feel secure? And all the time, the beauty and peace which cost nothing surround us unnoticed. Envy and lack of inner joy rob us of our peace of mind.
~ O, listen! Hear! Sing with me, for I am joy. ~
'A Cherokee Feast of Days', by Joyce Sequichie Hifler
