NOAA Joins NASA in Declaring that July 2010 was Warmest on Record for Northern Hemisphere
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released climate data for July 2010 confirming what NASA data separately found last week: it was the warmest July on record for the Northern Hemisphere.
In Northern Hemisphere Temperature Shatters July Record (11 Aug 2010) we reported on NASA data showing that the average surface temperature in July 2010 in the Northern Hemisphere shattered the previous record set in 2005. Globally, both NOAA and NASA reported that the year to date was the warmest on record (i.e. since the late 19th century).
NOAA lists the following global highlights for July:
- "The combined global land and ocean average surface temperature for July 2010 was the second warmest on record, behind 1998, at 16.5°C (61.6F), which is 0.66°C (1.19°F) above the 20th century average of 15.8°C (60.4°F).
- The July worldwide land surface temperature was 1.03°C (1.85°F) above the 20th century average of 14.3°C (57.8°F)—the warmest July on record.
- The worldwide ocean surface temperature was 0.54°C (0.97°F) above the 20th century average of 16.4°C (61.5°F) and the fifth warmest July on record. The warmth was most pronounced in the Atlantic Ocean.
- La Niña conditions developed during July 2010, as sea surface temperatures (SST) continued to drop across the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. According to NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, La Niña is expected to strengthen and last through the Northern Hemisphere winter 2010-2011.
- For the year-to-date, the global combined land and ocean surface temperature of 14.5°C (58.1°F) was the warmest January-July period on record. This value is 0.68°C (1.22°F) above the 20th century average. "
In the video below, climate change expert Heidi Cullen of Climate Central discusses the latest data.

3rd warmest | 2009 (+0.64°C/1.15°F) |
Land and Ocean | +0.82°C (+1.48°F) |
1st warmest | 2005 (+0.74°C/1.33°F) |
Southern Hemisphere | |||
Land | +0.63°C (+1.13°F) |
6th warmest | 1998 (+0.96°C/1.73°F) |
Ocean | +0.49°C (+0.88°F) |
5th warmest | 1998 (+0.60°C/1.08°F) |
Land and Ocean | +0.51°C (+0.92°F) |
7th warmest | 1998 (+0.66°C/1.19°F) |
As the figure below indicates, surface temperatures for the globe and for the two hemispheres individually are increasing over the long term. The long-term increase is being driven primarily by growing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer proposed emergency drought legislation Tuesday ahead of President Obama's planned visit to Fresno. The legislation, co-sponsored by Oregon Democrats Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, would speed environmental review of water projects, and give state and federal officials "operational flexibility" to move water south from the delta to San Joaquin Valley farms. The bill would also authorize $300 million in emergency aid and drought relief projects such as upgrading city water systems and helping farmers conserve water.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Tuesday moved to exert more control over the deep underground injection of diesel fuel to extract oil and natural gas—its first foray into addressing the potential contamination of water from the controversial technique. Although EPA has been allowed since 2005 to regulate the use of diesel in hydraulic fracturing, until this week, it had not done so. The EPA otherwise has little authority to regulate fluids used in hydraulic fracturing, also known as "fracking," which involves pumping water, sand, and chemicals into shale formations to unlock trapped oil and gas. The EPA's new guidance defines five substances as diesel, for which a permit will now be required for their use in hydraulic fracturing.
California is on track to reach its target for reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, but much tougher choices loom if the state is to meet its goal for the year 2050, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) said in a report released Monday. The changes needed to slash emissions enough to reach the mid-century target will be so great that the state should set an interim goal for about 2030, according to CARB.
The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) on Wednesday filed a petition with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to have tufted puffins listed as endangered or threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act in California, Oregon and Washington, where only about 4,000 remain in scattered colonies. "The tufted puffin populations in these three states are roughly 10% to 15% of what they were just three decades ago," Brad Sewell, a senior attorney with the NRDC, said in an interview. "In California alone, there are just a few hundred of them left, mostly on islands near San Francisco and north to Oregon."
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster sued California Attorney General Kamala Harris in Federal Court, claiming that a California law requiring all eggs sold in the state to come from hens housed in commodious cages violates the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. Missouri claims that the "clear purpose" of the law, AB1437, "to protect California farmers from out-of-state competition." The law, which takes effect in 2015, will require Missouri farmers to either "incur massive capital improvement costs to build larger habitats for some or all of Missouri's 7 million egg-laying hens" or to "walk away from the state whose consumers bought one-third of all eggs produced in Missouri last year," the complaint states.

The Luxury Visionaries 2016
Wrist candy
If you thought you didn't need an evening watch then take a look at these beauties by Dior. They reflect the 1950s cocktail watch traditions: feminine, small and pretty. But, as with the contemporary women they are made for, the appeal is more complex. Hard stone dials are tricky to craft but the natural popping colour of turquoise, jade and opal add a rare and precious beauty to the wrist. The diamonds, too, are non-apologetic, circling the dial like an opulent pie crust. The upshot is a quartz watch that works for a party but will look fabulous worn in the kitchen with a sweatshirt and jeans too. Dior La D de Dior Précieuse, price on request (020-7172 0172).
Flight of fancy
Zenith has softened the traditionally masculine design markers of the classic mechanical pilot's watch – giant dial, huge onion crown, easy-to-read numerals – with rose gold, lashings of diamonds and a beige satin strap. It shouldn't work but it does, when dressing up a chiffon blouse or under a Stella McCartney tux jacket. How else did you think you were you going to accessorise that private jet? Zenith Pilot Montre d'Aéronef Type 20 Lady (20mm), £26,600 (01204-424051).
Simply perfect
The key attributes for the ideal contemporary ladies' evening watch are: a mannish, clean dial, a non-metal strap and tasteful use of precious materials. This Longines Grand Classique with mother-of-pearl dial, diamond studs and alligator strap, from £1,000, is perfect (0845-272 6500).
Stop the clock
A couple of years ago Hermès came up with a complicated watch movement that literally plays with time. The idea is that you push the crown and "suspend" time, allowing you to think that the world is on hold while you take time out. Then, when reality beckons, you push again and real time is resumed. This year, a ladies' version was launched. It's a bewitching concept, perfectly suited to the wee, small hours. Hermès Arceau Temps Suspendu, from £27,000 in steel (020-7499 8856).
Malachite mark
How to make an evening watch look modern? Wear one with a sizeable, coloured dial. What's nice about this is that it reinvents the 1970s trend for opulent men's watches into a slightly mannish but strikingly modern quartz watch for women. The natural markings in the malachite stone dial are a unique touch. Ebel Onde 36mm, £4,950 (0870-781 1911).

XML with wxPerlby SuperCruncher (Pilgrim) |
on Mar 21, 2002 at 17:55 UTC ( #153366=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
SuperCruncher has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
As mentioned in one of my recent nodes, WxPerl woes -- putting a Tree into a ScrolledWindow, I am writing my final year project using wxPerl. I have been struggling, but thanks to help from Jouke and the wxPerl mailing list, I've been making progress. Anyway, the program is an MP3 organiser--it stores information on various "volumes" (parts of a user's collection - a volume can be either a drive on fixed media or removable media, and possibly remote locations). These volumes are stored as XML files, using a DTD that I have created. A sample document is presented below: A few points: directories can contain unlimited directory and file tags. The artist, title etc. tags can exist only inside 'file' tags. The final application is intended to look something like this screenshot, i.e. a tree with an entry for each volume and each of its subdirectories (recursively). Note in the screenshot that 'Test' and 'Test' are 2 different volumes. When the user clicks on a particular directory, the contents of that directory (whether they are files or more directories) should be displayed in the right-hand pane. I have implemented this in a rather 'hacked' and far from perfect fashion. In the constructor for my frame, I call a function in package main which sets global variables (using our) in main to store a reference to the tree object and to the current "ID" (the ID is used to denote where an entry into the tree should be inserted), i.e. I can create the actual tree (with volumes and directories) fine. I used a 'stack' approach, keeping the ID of the next entry to be inserted at the top of the stack, and popping it off whenever an end tag for 'directory' is encountered. (The stack is then cleared before starting another volume.) The problem is storing data on the files and linking this to what volume they are on, and what the 'properties' of the volume are. The hack I have used is as follows:
Also, if you've read this far, thanks--I know this is a long posting, but I felt it was important to explain the situation as clearly as possible and include all relevant information.

Lilian Jackson Braun
Lilian Jackson Braun | |
Born | Willimansett, Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts |
June 20, 1913
Died | June 4, 2011 Landrum, South Carolina |
(aged 97)
Occupation | novelist |
Nationality | United States |
Period | 1966–2008 |
Genre | Mystery |
Lilian Jackson Braun (June 20, 1913 – June 4, 2011[1]) was an American writer well known for her light-hearted series of The Cat Who... mystery novels. The Cat Who books center on the life of former newspaper reporter, James Qwilleran, and his two Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, in the fictitious small town of Pickax located in Moose County "400 miles north of everywhere." Although never formally stated in her books, the towns, counties and lifestyles described in the series are generally accepted to be modeled after Bad Axe, Michigan, where Braun resided with her husband until the mid-1980s.
Life and career[edit]
Born Lilian Jackson in Willimansett, Chicopee, Massachusetts, to Charles Jackson and Clara Ward Jackson,[2] she began her writing career as a teenager, contributing sports poetry for the Detroit News. She went on to write advertising copy for many of Detroit's department stores. For the Detroit Free Press she worked as the "Good Living" editor for 30 years, retiring from that post in 1978.
Between 1966 and 1968, she published three novels to critical acclaim: The Cat Who Could Read Backwards, The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern and The Cat Who Turned On and Off. In 1966, the New York Times labeled Braun "the new detective of the year." The rising mystery writer then disappeared from the publishing scene for 18 years. In 1986, the Berkley Publishing Group reintroduced her work to a new generation of fans with the publication of an original paperback, The Cat Who Saw Red. Within two years, Berkley released four new novels in paperback and reprinted her first three from the sixties. Braun's series again rose to the top of best seller lists. The twenty-ninth novel in her series, The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers was released in hardcover by the Penguin Group in January 2007. Like many writers of her generation, Braun was an admitted technophobe; she wrote all of her books in long hand and then typed them herself.
Little was known about Braun, who was protective of her private life. Publishers long gave an incorrect year for her birth date, which remained unknown until she finally gave her true age during a 2005 interview with the Detroit News. She was preceded in death by her first husband, Louis Paul Braun, a sister, Florence Jackson, and a brother, Lloyd Jackson.[3] She resided in Tryon, North Carolina, with her (second) husband of 32 years, Earl Bettinger, and their two cats.[4] Each of her books is dedicated to "Earl Bettinger, the Husband Who..."
Braun died at the Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills, in Landrum, South Carolina from a lung infection.[5]

Solvation is a key step in doing computer modelling of molecules. It can be done using a continuum model (such as the Born model), which assumes the environment is a continuous dielectric having the same dielectric constant as water. There are discrete approximations, such as the lattice dipole model, which treats a solvent as a fixed array of polarizable dipoles. Finally, it can be done using all atom waters, placed in such a fashion that they mimic properties of bulk water such as density and viscosity.
Any of these methods can be used to molecular dynamics simulations. Continuum models are fast, but make a lot of approximations. All atom explicit models make only the basic assumptions of electrostatics and van der Waals interactions, but are much more computationally intensive to run.

Editors' Review
+It might not offer the mental challenges of some games, but Bubble Shooter is a fun, even addictive game that anyone can play.
The basic objective of Bubble Shooter is simple. At the main menu of the app, you are given two main game options. The first one is the puzzle mode. In this mode, you have to complete the level by using the fewest bubbles possible. Don't worry, there are no specific time or bubble limits, but your score or evaluation can be greatly reduced as you use more bubbles. The arcade mode features larger, more general sets of bubbles for the player to clear. It is comparatively a lot easier, and only this mode instantly allows the use of special power-ups and bubbles.
The main gameplay of Bubble Shooter is quick, simple, and smooth. Level progress is saved by default and you can replay any of the other levels that you have previously cleared. Most importantly, the game features a colorblind mode, so even color-blind people can still clearly differentiate one bubble from another.
With the simple graphics and game mechanics Bubble Shooter is smooth to play even on older Android devices. Even though we used a low-end Android 2.2 smartphone for testing, the game still loaded quite quickly and we were able to play the app without any hitches in its graphics. All in all, we found Bubble Shooter a fun and simple game to play, with constant level progression that could make it a bit addictive.

Vince Cable has been one of the bookmakers' favourites to be the next minister to resign from the Cabinet. But on the basis of the Business Secretary's maiden public speech yesterday, he is not looking for the exit just yet.
At times this felt more like an Apologia Pro Vita Sua than a ministerial address. Mr Cable took the time to outline his philosophy of capitalism. He dismissed the notion that he is a closet socialist. He pledged his support for global trade, pointing out that he was writing critiques of protectionism back in the 1970s. When he said on regulation that "often the most useful thing governments can do is simply to get out of the way" it might have been John Redwood speaking. Mr Cable even mentioned his pride at having worked for Shell.
But he was also unapologetic about his convictions. He stressed his willingness to take on "cosy cartels" and his determination to ignore special pleading. And there was nothing in this speech to comfort the spivvier elements working in the financial services.
Mr Cable is someone who judges capitalism by its results, rather than seeing it as an end in itself: "The market economy has to deliver opportunity rather than constrain it. It has to spread wealth around, not concentrate it at the top or siphon it off to tax havens". And he has a clear vision of his own role in the system: "Being pro-business, pro-trade and competition doesn't mean being the voice of business".
It was all compelling – and intelligent – stuff. Listening to Mr Cable, the vulgar free market ideology of New Labour, whose history had taught it to view the private sector as axiomatically right about everything, began to feel like a distant memory.
There was a very good section in which Mr Cable distilled the proper purpose of modern industrial policy: "While we can't divine the future, we can recognise in a broad sense what Britain is good at and likely to become good at... We can and must allocate scarce public resources on the basis of evidence". Mr Cable's pledge to "redouble efforts" to get the publicly owned banks to re-open lending channels to struggling small businesses was especially welcome. The credit crunch is still a reality for many parts of our economy. And Mr Cable pithily demolished the argument of the banks that there is no demand for loans, pointing out that "if the bar is set too high, of course no one is willing to jump".
But there were hints of tension. Mr Cable spoke of his desire to reform the takeover panel to stop "unfettered short-term speculation" preying on uniquely vulnerable British businesses. He reiterated his trenchant views on the undesirability of mixing retail and commercial banking. There is plenty of scope for big battles within the coalition on such subjects. The strains between Mr Cable and the Chancellor, George Osborne, are already showing on capital gains tax.
On the crucial issue of public borrowing, Mr Cable said "I have been persuaded that early action on the deficit is essential". This hardly amounts to an enthusiastic endorsement of the coalition plans to take £6bn of demand out of the economy in the present financial year. And when he argued that "going forward, policy must be driven always by the same rational calculation of economic risk and benefit", it sounded almost like a warning. The trouble is that Mr Cable's official remit is the micro, rather than the macro economic world. If the Treasury gets the big judgements wrong, his efforts to rebalance the British economy and promote long-term growth risk being in vain. Mr Cable's success or failure will depend, to a large extent, on the influence he can bring to bear outside his department. We know that Mr Cable is a formidable thinker and a terrific writer. But what he now needs to show is that he can be as effective as his predecessor in the Business Department, Lord Mandelson, at getting his own way.

The Philadelphia Eagles have ruled out quarterback Michael Vick (ribs), wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (hamstring and shoulder), cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (ankle), linebacker Moise Fokou (ankle) and tackle King Dunlap (concussion) for Thursday night's game in Seattle against the Seahawks.
Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (knee) and running back LeSean McCoy (toe) are questionable and will be game-time decisions. Both were limited in Wednesday's practice.
The Eagles (4-7) have to rebound quickly from a 38-20 loss to the Patriots for their game at Seattle (4-7).
Vince Young will start again at quarterback for Philadelphia, his third straight start. Young threw for a career-best 400 yards against the Patriots, though his numbers were inflated a bit because of the score.
Young -- and the Eagles -- certainly would benefit if DeSean Jackson stepped up and made some plays.
Jackson dropped three passes Sunday, including two that likely would have been touchdowns, and shied away from contact before being benched in the fourth quarter. He vowed he would bounce back against the Seahawks.
Even if Asomugha can't go, Philadelphia's defense should fare a bit better against Seattle after being carved up by Tom Brady and the Patriots. The Seahawks are 30th in the league in total offense (294.1 yards per game) and are averaging 15.2 points in their past six games.
Information from ESPN.com senior NFL writer John Clayton and The Associated Press was used in this report.

Short China Stocks to Win From Rising Defaults, Maglan Says
David YongInvestors should avoid China's bond market after the first onshore default because state intervention and debt restructuring could prompt losses, according to New York-based hedge fund Maglan Capital LP.
The best way to make money from distressed companies in the world's second-largest economy is by betting against listed stocks, according to David Tawil, co-founder of Maglan Capital, which invests in companies struggling to repay their debt.
"In China, government involvement is much more pervasive, especially in industries like banking and real estate," Tawil said in a March 21 phone interview. "The only way to play the distressed cycle is shorting equities. The problem in fixed income is, I don't know if the bonds are going to drop, and even if they do drop, the government may come in and rescue them."
China had its first onshore default earlier this month when solar-cell maker Shanghai Chaori Solar Science & Technology Co. missed part of a bond-coupon payment due March 7. Closely held Zhejiang Xingrun Real Estate Co. collapsed on March 17 after government officials familiar with the matter said it didn't have enough cash to repay 3.5 billion yuan ($565 million) of debt. While China Credit Trust Co. was bailed out in January, Premier Li Keqiang said this month defaults may be unavoidable in some cases.
Bearish Bets
Maglan Capital was founded by Tawil and Steven Azarbad in 2010. Both Tawil and Azarbad are former leveraged finance bankers with Credit Suisse Group AG and have also worked as debt restructuring lawyers.
The company's $70 million Maglan Distressed Fund gained 10 percent net of fees this year through February, according to figures on its website. That compares with a 0.6 percent advance by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index during the same period. The fund returned 59 percent in 2013.
While Maglan doesn't have any bets against Chinese companies yet, Tawil said he's bearish on investments directly tied to interest rates and real estate, and would also avoid metal producers and some lenders.
Glaucus Research Group California LLC initiated coverage of China Lumena New Materials Corp., which sells polyphenylene sulfide products in China, today with a strong sell rating, saying the company had made "numerous material misrepresentations to investors." The company's stock was suspended in Hong Kong after dropping 7.4 percent in early trade.
Suntech Power
Chaori Solar's bondholders are weighing a lawsuit to recover their money, according to a March 10 filing to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange from China Securities Co., which managed the note offering in 2012. The manufacturer sold 1 billion yuan of five-year securities at par in March 2012. The notes were quoted at 57.44 percent of face value on March 24, according to Chinabond.
Suntech Power Holdings Co., once the world's largest solar-panel maker, is among China's biggest casualties in the U.S. dollar bond market after it defaulted on $541 million of convertible notes last year. It filed for U.S. bankruptcy protection in February as it liquidates in the Cayman Islands.
Its securities, sold to investors at par in 2008, were trading at 9.3 cents on the dollar on March 17 to yield 32.26 percent, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The company's creditor working group includes Clearwater Capital Partners LLC and Spinnaker Capital Ltd.
While China's economy remains sound, rapid urbanization and the emergence of a large middle-income group since 2008 has caused overheating, according to Tawil.
Investors should expect some slow down and that's "acceptable the sooner it occurs," Tawil said. "The real question is whether Beijing will try to mask the downcycle or let it play out publicly."

Alejandro Corner (アレハンドロ・コーナー Arehandoro Kōnā?) is one of the main antagonists of Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Alejandro is introduced as a United Nations Ambassador, and a Celestial Being Observer from the shadows in Season 1. Despite being a Celestial Being supporter, Alejandro has a secret agenda of controlling the world by seizing Veda and interfering with Aeolia Schenberg's Plan. An experienced pilot himself, Alejandro piloted the VMS-15 Union Realdo during his service in the Union military. He later pilots his own custom mobile weapons, the GNMA-XCVII Alvatore and GNMS-XCVII Alvaaron.
Personality & Character
Alejandro duals as a diplomat of the United Nations and a supporter of Celestial Being, a man suspicious of ulterior motives. While acting as an observer, he appears to have committed sabotage against Celestial Being and plans to gain control of Veda for his own personal ambitions. His ultimate motives involve controlling the world and Celestial Being. He's overambitious, arrogant, and an egomaniac with a "god complex." He lusts for power and wants to lead the world in his own vision. He considers Aeolia Schenberg's ideals ludicrous (to end all conflict with force) and was overjoyed when he thought he controlled Veda/Celestial Being. His ambitions lead him to kill Aeolia Schenberg, only to be reminded he's not as smart as Aeolia Schenberg, who had predicted someone might kill him and installed a fail-safe in the form of the Trans-Am system. He dislikes Aeolia Schenberg strongly and ironically accuses him of acting like a god and manipulating people. He's also very fond of the color gold. His suit, gun, jewelry, mobile suit and mobile armor are all golden colored. A large part of his ideals seems to be identified with God, angels, Alpha/Omega, and death/rebirth.
Skills & Abilities
Due to his status as a UN diplomat, it is implied that Alejandro has excellent negotiating and foreign policy skills. Being a former Realdo pilot, Alejandro's performance in combat with the unit is presently unknown. Presumably, he later learned how to pilot a GN Drive powered mobile suit, which gave him insight into Setsuna's handling of Exia as the skills to pilot the Alvatore and Alvaaron.
Personal Agenda
Alejandro Corner was born on May 11, 2271 AD. The Corner Family had been Celestial Being observers for 2 centuries. With this, Alejandro was able to obtain the position beside being a UN Ambassador. However, the family had also been secretly planning to overthrow the organization and take control of Aeolia's Plan. As the inheritor of the Corner Family's will, Alejandro was groomed to realize this; to destroy Celestial Being and defeat the Gundams. Aside from having skills for political science, Alejandro was also trained as a mobile suit pilot. He had served the Union forces before assuming the position of UN Ambassador.
It was never stated how Alejandro met Ribbons Almark. It was shown however that Alejandro had trusted Ribbons with everything due to the latter's skills and complete loyalty to him. Thanks to the Innovade, Alejandro was able to create Team Trinity to further his plans to destroy Celestial Being.[1] Alejandro was often teased by his UN Staff of trying to be a philanthropist for taking in Ribbons under his wing,[2] but in reality he had benefited and gained more than he wished for from taking in the young man. Alejandro often called Ribbons his "angel." Alejandro was also able to get hold of Laguna Harvey, a fellow Celestial Being Observer, and was able to convince him to join his cause.[1]
Civil War in Azadistan
During Azadistan's economic, political and energy crisis, Alejandro Corner decided to choose the country for the United Nations to help build their Solar Energy Receptor Facility. People, including the Azadistan Adviser Shirin Bakhtiar, were surprised by the Alejandro's decision, but Alejandro didn't gave a reason for this move. Alejandro would later comment that he made the move to see the world move forward with his own eyes; he saw the country as one of those who had a chance to change for the better or plunge into destruction.[3]
The Azadistan was put into political unrest because of reformists' support for United Nation's decision to build the solar energy facility. The conservatives were unhappy of the foreigner's presence in the country and accused the reformists of violating the teachings of their ancestors. The country was later plunged into civil war due to the abduction of Conservative Leader Rasa Massoud Rachmadi. Alejandro stayed in the country and watched the chaotic situation at the window of his hotel room.
Celestial Being later intervened into the country to suppress the chaos. Alejandro watched as GN-001 Gundam Exia annihilated the armed MSER-04 Anfs on the streets. As he saw the brute and aggressive fighting method of Gundam Meister Setsuna F. Seiei, Alejandro couldn't help but comment on how the Meister depend too much on his Gundams' unique ability during combat. He continued to wonder if Setsuna can really be an embodiment of Celestial Being's Gundam (machine to end all wars) with his current combat skills.
Rasa Massoud Rachmadi was later rescued by Celestial Being and was brought back to the Azadistan Palace Grounds by Setsuna F. Seiei in his unarmed Gundam Exia. The event was televised worldwide, and Ribbons and Alejandro watched as the Gundam passed by the Azadistan Anfs without going into combat. Alejandro scoffed at the Gundam Meister's ultimate decision to proceed unarmed, citing that such martyrdom cannot eradicate war. Ribbons commented that Setsuna might have mistaken the Gundam's abilities like that of God's, which Alejandro retorted that Gundams were only tools for combat. The civil war in Azadistan was temporarily brought to an end by the return of Massoud Rachmadi to Azadistan.
Intervention in Taklamakan Desert
After Celestial Being's numerous armed interventions, the three Power Blocs (AEU, HRL, and Union) finally decided to work together to defeat and capture the Gundams. Alejandro, with Ribbons, looked at the news and the information about the operation. Celestial Being was to intervene on the attack against the enriched uranium facility in Taklamakan Desert, despite knowing that it was possibly a trap laid before them. Alejandro commended Celestial Being's loyalty to their organizations' ideology till the end, but since it would end with the Gundam's defeat, he felt that it was too early for the Gundams to be defeated just yet. He didn't want the Power Blocs to get their hands on the Gundams and used them for their own gains and purposes. For his plan to succeed, the Power Blocs have to wait a little longer to acquire the GN Technology and the Gundam's defeat would eventually happen later down the road. During the operation in Taklamakan, Alejandro watched the situation until the right time to make his move.[4]
Around the 16th hour of fighting, the Gundams were eventually defeated by the Power Blocs' military. As the Gundams were captured, however, they were rescued by a new team of Gundams. The Gundam Thrones attacked the Power Blocs' capture squads and crippled the communications around the area. The large scale capture operation was considered as a failure and the appearance of 3 new Gundams surprised the three nations.
After the arrival of Team Trinity, Alejandro quickly called a meeting with Celestial Being Observers to acknowledge the newly arrived Gundams as part of Celestial Being. The Observers first doubted the credibility of the new team, but they agreed to let them in to strengthen the operations of Celestial Being. The Trinity would later proceed with their operations, attacking numerous military bases and factories around the world.
Development of GN-X
During the height of Team Trinity's armed intervention, Alejandro Corner sent an invitation to UN Inspector Deborah Galiena to a secret location to inspect some classified goods. Deborah brought her colleague Robert Spacey with her and there Alejandro unveiled the GN Mobile Suit his family had been developing for years, the GNX-509T Throne Varanus. He told them that his family had been members of Celestial Being and decided to break away from the organization for a good cause. The mobile suit before them had been developed by his family to properly fight against the Gundams. With the threat of the Gundams that time, Deborah volunteered to test pilot the mobile suit. Her data and suggestions led to the creation and development of GNX-603T GN-X.[5]
Gundams Vs Gundams
The Trinity's operations were always of complete annihilation and destruction. In addition, the casualties were not only limited to military personnel and equipments, but also included civilians. This rather inhumane and oppressive tactics of the Trinity resulted for the Ptolemy Team to oppose Team Trinity; a fight between Gundams eventually happened. However, Alejandro Corner have other plans for the Gundams and ordered Ribbons to interfere during their battle (i.e. canceling Tieria Erde's Trial System). He wished to offer the Gundams instead to the new world he was planning to build.[6] Not long, Alejandro ordered Laguna Harvey to distribute the 30 complete GN-Xs and their technology to the three Power Blocs.
As the 3 Power Blocs eagerly received the mobile suits and quickly organized the Operation Fallen Angels against the Gundams, Alejandro set his sights on getting his hands on Veda. He had Ribbons traced the exact location of the main terminal and, at the instance that it was located (at the Moon), quickly moved out to see it with his own eyes. He had Ribbons hack the main system and take control over it. With Veda within his grasp, Alejandro was able to disconnect Veda's support on the Gundams, effectively shutting them down during their combat against the United Nations Forces. However, Ptolemy tactician Sumeragi Lee Noriega had foreseen this and came up with a back-up Stand Alone Operation System for their Gundams to fight independent from Veda's support.
While acquiring Veda, Alejandro also proceeded with the elimination of Celestial Being Observers[7] and Team Trinity. One of the observers, Laguna Harvey, was killed in his office by mercenary Ali al-Saachez. While Team Trinity was being hunted down at the Atlantic by HRL Chobu GN-X Team, Ali also intercepted the Gundam Meister group and killed the 2 members of Team Trinity, Johann Trinity and Michael Trinity, effectively disbanding the group.
Killing Aeolia Schenberg
After Ribbons cleared and gained control of Veda's Level 7, the capsule of Aeolia Schenberg, who was in cryogenic sleep, subsequently revealed itself in front of him and Alejandro at the altar-like space on the hall of the Moon Terminal. Alejandro was delighted to see it, noting that Aeolia wouldn't be able to see the reformation of the world as he takes over both the world and Celestial Being. He then pulled out his custom .45 Colt and continuously shot the capsule until he emptied out its clip. The shots hit Aeolia's face, neck and chest, immediately killing Aeolia while in deep sleep. However, unfortunately for Alejandro, Aeolia had foreseen a betrayal and prepared a system trap before them. His death activated the Trans-Am System to the Gundams, and had Veda locked out information regarding the Gundam Meisters and their crew. Shocked that Aeolia had even foreseen his plans, Alejandro was enraged that a dead idealist had outsmarted him and prepared a great obstacle before him one last time.
Battle at Lagrange 1 and Death
After the United Nations Forces' devastating loses at the Lagrange 1 against the Gundams, Alejandro decided to assist the UN Forces by sortieing in his GNMA-XCVII Alvatore. As he was seeing the effects of Aeolia's last gamble, he couldn't help but want to ensure the destruction of Celestial Being with his own hands.
During the next operation, Alvatore preempt an attack against Celestial Being's CBS-70 Ptolemaios, crippling the ship from escaping the area. Alvatore was powered by 7 GN Drives Tau, which made it posses a powerful GN Field and a long range GN giant beam cannon. Ptolemy's Assault Container was sortied to face the golden mobile armor, but failed to compete against it. Aside from critically damaging the Ptolemy, Alejandro's mobile armor also damaged the GN-004 Gundam Nadleeh and GN-003 Gundam Kyrios.
After the destruction of CB's Assault Container, Setsuna F. Seiei and Lasse Aeon sortied with GNR-001E GN Arms Type-E to fight against Alejandro's Alvatore. Despite Alvatore's massive firepower and vast weaponry, the GN Arms Type-E was able to stand against the Alvatore using its superior agility and customized GN-Blades. Not long, Setsuna F. Seiei managed to destroy the Alvatore, though the battle cost him the GN-Arms. Lasse was also unable to resume combat. After the Alvatore was destroyed, Alejandro revealed the GNMS-XCVII Alvaaron as a last resort. It possessed a powerful GN Beam Rifle and a GN Field. However, Exia was able to outmatch the Alvaaron using Trans-Am and its GN Blades, dodging Alvaaron's beam attacks and penetrating its GN Field. Alvaaron was destroyed in battle and Alejandro Corner was ultimately defeated.
Minutes prior to Alvaaron's destruction, Ribbons contacted the injured Alejandro through the com,
" | Alejandro Corner, you played the jester so well... I should tell you, this is no longer Aeolia Schenberg's Plan; you see, it has now became my plan... Know that you'll be leaving the future of the unified world in my hands. | " |
Using Alejandro's authority, Ribbons was able to assassinate the rest of Celestial Being Observers and later replaced them with his own group called the Innovators. Later in AD 2312, Veda would assign Leif Recitativo to formed a group of 6 Innovades to officially replace the emptied positions of Celestial Being Observers.Before his demise, Alejandro was the one who initiated the Memento Mori plan, which would eventually lead to creation of the satellite mobile weapon, the Memento Mori.[1] After Alejandro's demise, the completion of the project was handled by Ribbons Almark and Wang Liu Mei.[8]
Six years after Alejandro's death, a movie titled Celestial Being depicts him as the leader of the A-Laws. In the movie, he is vaporized in a dramatic fashion.
- Ribbons Almark
- During Season 1, Ribbons is Alejandro's assistant who apparently serves Alejandro faithfully. Ribbons always followed Alejandro's orders while crafting his own plans for world domination until the end of Operation Fallen Angels, during which Ribbons betrayed Alejandro and formed the Innovators, his own Innovade group. One scene in the Special Edition hints at a sexual relationship also.

Celebrate the 2016 Diverse Literary Voices Texas Fiction Award Winners
The inaugural 2016 Diverse Literary Voices Texas Fiction Award Winners are:
- Evelyn Palfrey, winner of the Legacy Award
- Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, winner of the Fiction of the Year Award
- Antonio Ruiz-Camacho, winner of the Rising Star Award
- Jacob Grovey, winner of the Rising Star Award
2016 Legacy Award Winner Evelyn Palfrey
As the winner of the Legacy Award, Evelyn Palfrey is being honored for writing inspiring novels for 20 years about black protagonists that are "marvelously mature," set in Texas. Evelyn Palfrey is a native Texan and a lawyer who writes romantic suspense for the 'marvelously mature'—because romance is just as sweet with a little gray at the temple. She is the author of five novels that deal with issues that are common to the middle passage of life, and reflect her 30 years practice of criminal and family law—and her love of RV travel.
Evelyn began writing fiction in 1995, driven by the realization that although many romance readers were like her—at middle age and starting a new phase of life—they weren't represented as romance heroines. Three Perfect Men was the first book of a trilogy about three women who had been college roommates in the '60's. Three women take an RV trip to a placid East Texas lake, and become involved in a murder—and three perfect men. The Price of Passion, a novel about marriage and betrayal set in Austin, followed the next year. Her sister's remark about the absence of full-figured women as romance heroines propelled her to write Dangerous Dilemmas. Her fourth novel, Everything In Its Place, grew out of recognition that many women who thought they had finished raising children, are now raising grandchildren. Going Home is the story of a retired woman who invites a Katrina evacuee to move into her home.
Evelyn's novels have been on the Essence Magazine bestseller list, the BookSense '76 list, and have been Black Expressions selections. The Price of Passion was awarded Best Multicultural Book by Romantic Times Magazine. Evelyn's story, "The Lady at the Bus Stop," was published in Chicken Soup for the African-American Soul, and her story, "Mama's Hands," was published in Chicken Soup for the African-American Woman's Soul. She has also been a contributor to Black Issues Book Review. Evelyn was nominated for a Career Achievement Award by Romantic Times. She has served on the Board of Directors of the Austin Public Library Foundation, Travis County Lawyer Referral Service, Austin Community Radio, Inc., Writers League of Texas, Texas Municipal Courts Education Center, and the State Bar of Texas. In 2012, she was awarded the Emma Author of the Year by Romance Slam Jam. To purchase copies of her books go to: http://evelynpalfrey.com/novels.htm.

2016 Rising Star Award Winner Jacob Grovey
Although he is not even 40 yet, Jacob Grovey has published three books and is founder of Global Genius Society, a global community of artists and art lovers. His 2016 novel, DANCE OF THE BROKEN, tells the inspirational story of a young black girl who dreams of being a ballerina, despite society's opinion that she's cut from the wrong cloth.
Jacob began writing early in life. At the age of eight, he first saw people actually valued his words. He was offered the opportunity to write for a magazine, but as great as the opportunity was, Jacob passed on it because he didn't want any pressure to be associated with his writing. As the years passed, he found himself writing less and less, and before he knew it, he had gone several years without writing anything. As he thought back to the times when he wrote daily, he soon became upset with himself for going so long without putting his thoughts onto paper. In 2003, he vowed to never let that happen again. Now he says, "I promise you, the times that you'll catch me without some sort of notepad and pencil are gonna be few and far between because you never know when the inspiration will hit."

If marketing describes the communications a company makes with consumers in effort to inspire them to buy, social media marketing refers to these conversations as they take place in the blogosphere on sites like Facebook, Twitter, Digg and StumbleUpon.
There's quite a bit of controversy about the "right" and the "wrong" way to do these things and books have been published about marketing and social media to help guide companies through the place where new media and publicity intersects.
These guides have become increasingly relevant and necessary as questions about whether the tricks of the traditional marketing trade apply to social media. In the end, it seems that the question of what is morally correct, while valuable, is not the central question – it's about what is effective, and this varies in each social media property, with every conversation.

Business was brisk for game wardens monitoring a white-tailed deer decoy Nov. 3 in the Black Hills National Forest north of Sundance.
Scott Talbott, the Game and Fish Department's Wildlife Division supervisor in Casper, says the one-day decoy operation was conducted in the Black Hills because of complaints from both landowners and sportsmen of poor hunting behavior. "Reports of violations involving hunters shooting from the road had increased in recent years," he said.
The replica of the buck deer was set up along a public road in deer area 2, which opened on Nov. 1. Over 76 vehicles drove by the decoy during the daylight hours with occupants of 40 of the vehicles observing the decoy. Eighteen vehicles stopped and attempted to take what they thought was a real white-tailed deer buck. Twenty-four people shot at the decoy resulting in 31 citations and 10 warnings.
Seventeen citations were written for shooting from a public road, six for failure to wear hunter orange and four each for shooting from a vehicle and accessory to shooting from a public road. Of the 20 individuals receiving tickets, 17 were residents and three were nonresidents.
"One of the most disturbing results was that four shooters were sixteen years of age or younger that were instructed by a parent to commit a violation," said Casper game warden Rick King.
As urban detectives dress as prostitutes or pretend to be a stumbling, vulnerable drunk to apprehend criminals, many states will put a fake deer, pheasant or other animal under surveillance. Big game decoys have been used in Wyoming since 1992. In 1995, Wyoming statute 23-3-406 was passed making attempting to take a wildlife decoy the same as attempting to take a live animal. If the attempt is illegal, it is a violation.
Some individuals complain using wildlife decoys is entrapment. However, court rulings have upheld the fact that no one is being encouraged to shoot at the decoys, and the mere presence of an opportunity to take a wild animal does not constitute entrapment.
"Decoys are an efficient way to put the violator, officer and sought after game in the same spot at the same time," said Jay Lawson, G&F chief game warden.
Aside from the inherent danger in shooting from a public road, shooting at simulated wildlife brings to question the ethical behavior of some hunters. The anti-hunting public has criticized the hunting community for unethical behavior and for the apparent lack of policing amongst themselves. Even though most law enforcement officials would agree that the vast majority of hunters conduct themselves ethically and abide by the laws, those that do not continue to perpetuate a negative image for hunters and hunting.
"Hunters should be outraged by the frequency with which wildlife laws are violated," Lawson said. He believes that the public perception of hunting and hunters alike must be one of respect for the law, private property and wildlife.
"Hunting is part of our heritage, but it is not a right," Lawson said. "Hunting is a privilege and a very important wildlife management tool. However, if we are to continue to use hunters in the management of our wildlife populations, all hunters must demonstrate to the people of Wyoming that they are responsible."
Anyone with information about a wildlife violation is encouraged to call the toll-free, 24-hour, STOP Poaching hotline at (800) 442-4331. Callers can remain anonymous and are eligible for a cash reward if the information leads to a conviction.

GR8 Water, Inc. Completes Agreement for Delivery of First Atmospheric Water Generators to China as Alternative and Major Solution for Country's Water Shortage

China has the world's largest population of any country. China has a population of 1.6 billion people. The need for clean water is one top priorities of the country. The regions are all in need of clean water not only for drinking but for agricultural and sanitation uses.
Water Technologies Inc.'s CEO, William Scott Tudor, said, "I am excited about having working AWGs on the ground in China.

Longueuil police think they have solved a string of armed robberies, but suspect there are more victims who have yet to come forward.
Jean-Sebastien Beauchemin and William Lemay, of Longueuil and St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, were charged in court last week with committing five armed robberies at bank machines.
Police say that on five occasions between December 14 and January 3, the pair threatened victims with a firearm and forced people to withdraw money from an ATM.
Beauchemin is also charged with five counts of stealing jewels and jewelry from stores.
Longueuil police think the pair may have robbed other people, and are asking possible victims to contact officers by calling 450-463-7211.

Dierks Pre-Show Rituals [VIDEO]
I've always been curious and intrigued by some artist as to why they have a pre-show ritual they do before they go on stage. Meaning if they don't do these certain things before they go on, the show could be a disaster.
Dierks Bentley talks about his pre-show rituals in a new episode of the online web-video series, Jäger TV. Dierks says he duct-tapes his boots up before each show to keep them tight on his feet. He also says the band huddles up for prayer each night. The country star adds that it's common for the band to have a "shot of something special to drink" before heading out on stage too.

Power as practice: A Micro-sociological Analysis of the Dynamics of Emancipatory Entrepreneurship

This paper contributes to a recent movement to reframe entrepreneurship theory into a more critical and reflexive mode. It builds on the processual notion of entrepreneuring-asemancipation to theorise a balanced conception of agency and constraint rooted in the notion of power rituals. We develop a micro-sociological analysis of power rituals that conceives power reproduction and entrenchment as a 'practice-based' activity that focuses on what power holders and subordinates concretely do, think and feel. This makes emotion a key dimension of entrepreneurial agency and redefines constraining barriers to agency in terms of a social process of 'barring'. This novel approach is illustrated using an autobiographical account of a social entrepreneurship project. On the basis of this analysis, a number of insights are provided into the ways in which the power-as-practice approach can inform wider debates in organization studies where the notions of agency and constraint are linked to issues of power and resistance.

The towers on the Inwood Arete of Quandary Peak. Find a way up by going to the left of them. It was around here that the climb turned dangerous for me. I either did not find the easiest way or faced tougher than 5.4 because of the wetness of the rock that morning, but I did get past the towers, and then the difficulties abated dramatically only to be replaced by substantial amounts of steep scree.
