RFA: Air Pollution Monitoring for Communities (2014) RFA Text | Recipients Lists
Research Category: Environmental Justice , Air Quality and Air Toxics , Air
The objectives for this project are to: (1) investigate that community-led research results in improved understanding of the pollution concentrations and the development of sustainable community-specific strategies to effectively monitor pollutants, analyze and communicate results; (2) investigate cross-community coalition building; (3) investigate the ability of the coalition to leverage resources to create future coordinated action plans to reduce exposure and mitigate health risks; and (4) evaluate and document the collaborative community-based research process utilized.
Progress Summary:
The period covered by this report aligned with Phase 1 of the project, which was focused on mobilization (preparing for community training, monitoring and data collection) for Phase 2. This resulted in the following accomplishments:
Refined contaminants of concern and selected air sensor equipment – Community partners identified contaminants of concern as PM2.5 and 10, and NO2 based on their local air quality threats such as diesel and gasoline emissions, metal recyclers, pet coke and manganese storage, and manufacturing sites. The Partner Coalition Board (comprised of community, non-profit and university partners) extensively reviewed the low-cost and very low-cost sensors currently available for these contaminants. The project has purchased Purple Air and Airbeam (very low cost) and MetOne (low cost) for monitoring PM2.5and 10 and Terrier (very low cost) and Aeroqual 500 (low cost) for monitoring NO2 and O3.
Developed community specific air monitoring plans – Community partners engaged in an intensive process to develop air monitoring plans specifically tailored to each community's goals and concerns. The process identified key decision points for community consideration, including pollutants to monitor, local emission sources, locations of sensitive populations, recruit safety, locations for stationary hosts, estimates of variance in local air quality based on National Air Toxics Assessment (NATA) data and Environmental Justice Screening and Mapping Tool (EJScreen) data, meteorological data, monitor type, stationary vs. mobile monitoring, spatial and temporal coverage, ancillary equipment, power source, Wi-Fi source, reading rate, and data download and presentation. Community partners solicited input from their individual communities to inform their tailored plans through a variety of means, such as meetings and less formal interactions.
Conducted pilot – In April 2017, the equipment, training, and air monitoring routes were tested for one week by a community partner. The pilot consisted of mobilization for a monitoring session, including setting up and installing stationary equipment, preparing mobile monitoring equipment, training staff and community members on health and safety and in the use of air sensors, walking air monitoring routes, and downloading/uploading data. During this period, work began on a system for automating the data download for the five monitoring devices being tested. The on-the-ground experience was invaluable for generation of pilot data (needed as test data for data system development) and developing and adapting the protocols to ensure efficient and safe transfer of this data.
Future Activities:
The project is currently implementing Phase 2 activities. Planned activities include summer monitoring in four communities (June-September 2017), co-location study (October/November 2017), winter monitoring in four communities (January-April 2018), and various community engagement activities to communicate data and results to community residents. Individual communities are developing tailored engagement plans that best suit their community needs and norms.

Yesterday I participated in Indy Read's 'Scavenge Mass Ave' with my friend Annie. The scavenger hunt is an annual fundraiser to help support their adult literacy programs and I jumped at the chance to go when Annie mentioned it to me. My mom was a kindergarten teacher for forty plus years, so I grew up surrounded by books.
It was also a great opportunity to explore businesses located on Mass Ave that I was not familiar with. I am embarrassed to admit that I had never been inside Mass Ave Pub, the Art Bank Gallery, or the Sneaker Exchange, which was way too hip for me. All of the sneakers were wrapped in plastic and the first pair I picked up were $175. I will stick with my Converse.
There were three color coded routes to ensure that none of the locations were too crowded with scavengers waiting to have their clue signed by an Indy Reads volunteer. Annie and I did the pink route and were only stumped by two of the fifteen clues. We quickly figured them all out and planned our route. The volunteer at each stop also shared a trivia fact relevant to adult literacy. For instance, more than 70% of prison inmates do not have a high school degree. Reading is fundamental to everything we do, yet we take it for granted. Reading traffic signs, menus at restaurants, a map…..the list is endless.
My favorite stop was at Nine Irish Brothers. The trivia question was to name one of the five books currently listed on the New York Times bestsellers list. After a bonus clue, I guessed Hamilton since the Broadway play is everywhere. He then asked me for Hamilton's first name to which I said, 'Alexander.' Sadly, he said no one had gotten it right all night. As a Political Science and History major, I am slightly mortified that people couldn't think of his first name. Another stop had us spell 'cinnamon.'
On our way back down Mass Ave to return our completed scavenger hunt sheet, Annie and I stopped at Yogalatte for frozen yogurt. It was bittersweet – the last time I went there was a couple of years ago with Denver. We sat for hours on the bench outside, just enjoying our time together. We had a dog with us, but I cannot remember whose dog. I didn't have Winston at the time and she didn't have Moose, but we had a dog because I went inside and mixed her yogurt flavors for her, with a generous amount of sprinkles on top. Annie was a Denver friend and we share that void in our hearts, so she was the perfect person to have a celebratory frozen yogurt with.
I still struggle with not being able to tell Denver the random, little everyday things. Like after a really bad date that she would have laughed with me about. Or my cookie subscription endeavor and accidentally ordering teeny tiny boxes from Amazon. I have learned a lot since January. I have more insight on things that have occurred and on the people in my life. I am more drawn to people that have experienced loss than I was before – my perspective has shifted and I try not to sweat the small stuff.
We may not have won any of the prizes, which were randomly awarded through a raffle ticket drawing, but Annie and I were certainly victorious in our efforts.
I need to find a way to make it sustainable. While nothing makes me happier than mailing cookies to friends and family, I am not sure how realistic it is. I spent $65 on shipping to mail less than 10 boxes during my first round of shipment and donations have ranged from $7-30. I was shocked at the $30 (someone actually did the math and accounted for shipping, ingredients, AND my time). The $7-10 range barely covers the shipping and the materials to ship (the box, gift bags, tags, tissue paper, etc.), which means that this may not be sustainable long term.
I enjoy it, but I also don't want to lose money as a result of taking a hobby that I am passionate about and attempting it on a large scale. Disclaimer: I am cheap, so I understand not wanting to pay a lot, but the shipping is a killer. My BFF Steve at USPS was excited to see the pile of boxes last week – he has always told me that I should have a cookie business and I finally (sort of) do!
Patience will also be a requirement for anyone that requests cookies. Most people have written in their emails to me that they do not expect the cookies tomorrow, but it will take time! I spent five hours baking and only made 8 dozen cookies. I have approximately 104 dozen to go for this month, so patience is appreciated! I am stubborn enough to get this done, but amazing customers (like all of you!) make it worthwhile.
The last lesson (for now) is that I cannot accept custom orders every month. Making seven different kinds of cookies was really time consuming and confusing. I had to write the flavors on the boxes and even then, I would find myself a few cookies short and I would have to start another batch. A flavor of the month, plus chocolate chunks is the way to go. A happy Libby = better cookies.
Thanks for all of the support! XO

National Defence Academy sets up 'Pakistan Info Room' for providing information to its cadets regarding PAK ARMY
If you know your enemies and yourself, you will not be imperilled in a hundred battles -Sun Tzu, the author of The Art of War Taking a cue from the adage, the National Defence Academy has recently set up a "Pakistan Info Room" for providing information to its cadets regarding the neighbour's army. The main objective behind setting it up is to give out information to cadets about the adversary's history, customs and traditions, doctrine, tactics, rank structure, organization and weapons so that they are fully aware and psychologically conditioned to face the not-so-friendly neighbour.
A National Defence Academy (NDA) authority told TOI, "India has long-standing territorial disputes with Pakistan, which has led to wars and border skirmishes. The Line of Control with Pakistan continues to be active and border disputes are yet to be resolved. The Indian Army has to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our motherland at all costs. To achieve this, knowing your adversary is a must, and what better way than to start at NDA — considered as cradle of military leadership."
A senior officer from NDA told TOI, "This room will be continuously updated with the latest information related to Pakistan — right from the latest photograph to new reports. The room has information about Pakistan's regions and their internal disputes among others."
The famous quote of former Prime Minister of Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutto "We will eat grass if we have to but we will make the nuclear bomb" draws one's attention soon after entering the room.
"This move will certainly make their (cadets') basics strong. Initially, the cadets used to get information about Pakistan through various discussions, lectures and from available sources. But now, we continuously update the latest developments related to Pakistan so that the cadets get to know. Even if they come to know about Pakistan's tank potential, war tactics and internal issues, it will not be difficult for them to understand the geopolitics of both the nations before going to the Indian Military Academy at Dehradun," a senior officer from NDA added.
A Brigadier-rank officer said, "It is quite essential to know how Pakistan has changed its conventional war tactics to unconventional. If cadets get to know about it at the academy stage, it will certainly help them understand the intricacies of the Pakistan army's psychology."
Brigadier Hemant Mahajan, who has served extensively in Kashmir, welcomed the NDA's move saying it was a prudent initiative to groom cadets in the right direction. "It is said that knowing the enemy is quite essential to win the war. If we could inculcate this habit right from the academy's period, it will certainly create a positive difference in the near future," Mahajan added.

I made these cupcakes for B's kindergarten Valentine's party. Sadly school has been cancelled the past two days so they never made it. I was half expecting the cancellation so I only topped one cupcake with a strawberry just to picture it for the blog. The rest of the cupcakes are in the freezer waiting to go to school. February vacation is next week so it looks like the kids will exchange their valentine's toward the end of the month. Oh well. They don't care.
This was my first attempt at egg free vanilla cupcakes. They came out perfect, or so my sources tell me. The recipe is a lot like my vegan chocolate cupcake recipe. I couldn't be more pleased. I have been meaning to make an egg free vanilla recipe but thought it would be more intensive than it actually was.
You will need:
1 3/4 c. unbleached flour
1 c. raw organic sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt
2 tsp. vanilla
1/3 c. veg. oil
1 c. cold water
Mix all ingredients and bake at 350 for about 15 minutes.

"No Leisure for Myself ": C.C. Stopes and British Freewomen
Charlotte Carmichael (C.C.) Stopes was born in Scotland in 1840 and died in 1929; she was an author and public intellectual, especially after moving to London. She gained her greatest renown as a scholar of Shakespeare's family and his historical context. Even though associated most prominently with Shakespeare, she devoted time to feminist causes, especially women's suffrage. She offered historical evidence of women's long-term political privilege, arguing against the need for legislation as women had both voted and held offices throughout British history. Her most important work on the topic, British Freewomen, was published in 1894 and traced women's political standing through past generations. Her correspondence, especially with her daughter Marie (a prominent leader of Britain's birth control movement), documented her hectic life, although she received little reward for her written work. It has been broadly forgotten, except for specialists in women's political past or in Shakespeare scholarship around 1900. Stopes' correspondence with her daughter reveals not simply an amazingly full life, but also both admiration for, and competition with, Marie.

President Xi Jinping and other leaders of BRICS countries pose for a group photo before the Ninth BRICS Summit in Xiamen, in Southeast China's Fujian province, on Monday. The five leaders then took up many issues at the start of the event.
China will set aside 500 million yuan ($76.61 million) for economic and technological cooperation and exchanges among BRICS countries, President Xi Jinping said on Monday while calling for joint efforts to open the bloc's second "Golden Decade".
In his speech addressing the plenary session of the BRICS Summit, Xi also announced an injection of $4 million into the project preparation fund of the BRICS-led New Development Bank for the bank's operation and long-term development.
During the session, attended by Brazilian President Michel Temer, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and South African President Jacob Zuma, Xi said the key to the rapid development of BRICS is that the five countries have adopted the right approach for cooperation since the bloc was founded in 2006.

Lingerie today has a bigger role to play than just a functional one. Undergarments that primarily were meant to conceal and provide shape to women's bodies, now are fashion and style statements. Women's' innerwear traverses the same fashion cycle as outerwear does. Every season, new elements and style get introduced into the market, which get replaced by even newer ones in subsequent seasons. The realm of women's lingerie comprises of many different products that cater to different functional and aesthetic needs. Of these, lingerie sets are an important class that has many takers among contemporary women. They comprise of coordinated sets of panties and bras, or other separates like garters, garter belts, bustier, corsets, and so on. These sets lend a gorgeous feel inside out any day.
What makes lingerie sets so popular
One reason that makes lingerie sets so popular is the aesthetics. The separates in such a product pairing are usually made of the same fabric, in the same colour, and with same styling. This makes them more appealing visually. After all, it wouldn't look or feel great to wear a lacy white bra with a black, faux leather thong. Another advantage of a lingerie set is that they pack many benefits into one. Say, you just bought a beautiful sheath dress, and have a bra that perfect complements it from the inside. However, the panties that you own do not work well, and pose problems like visible panty lines, or too little rear coverage. Also, you need a shaper to give your torso a firm, and well-toned look. Imagine having to shop for three different products to wear under your new dress. A lingerie set comes in handy in such situations. A set with a lacy bra, corset, and thong panty could just be what you need under this sheath dress. Even better, you get all of them in the same fabric, and colour, so see-through concerns wouldn't exist either.
Another major reason why women invest in lingerie sets is their sassiness. These coordinated pieces make them feel gorgeous on the inside, and are an amazing way to spice things up in the bedroom too. Be it on a date, your wedding night, a honeymoon, or a usual night at home, these lingerie pieces give you that captivating and sexy charm, that is simply hard to resist.
Lingerie sets also boasts of the multitudes of features that regular bras and panties come with. A well fitted lingerie set not only feels comfortable, but also gives your body a good shape, and accentuates your assets just perfectly, so that you can flaunt your figure without second thoughts. This sure adds to your confidence levels as well.
Some trendy lingerie sets to choose
Different lingerie seasons are in trend during different times, and here are some of the hottest trends this season.
• Laces – fabric in meshes and laces have a very feminine feel to them, and are just perfect for that ladylike charm. From all lace bras to those with lace accents, and lacy fabrics in contrast colours, there are many designs that are high on fashion. Thongs, knickers, women's briefs, plunge bras, halter neck bras, garter sets – almost all kinds of lingerie are available in the lacy style, and you can spot just what you want.
• Cage and straps – the cage and strappy style aren't for the faint hearted. These bare-it-all styles leave very little to the imagination and are a must have when you want to turn up the thermometer real high with your special someone. Garters, G-strings, thongs, panties, bras – almost any kind of lingerie comes in the strappy style these days.
• Bows and ties – Bows lend a cute and pretty appeal to lingerie sets. They bring a retro feel to the undergarments, and take you back in time. Ties on the other hand, bring about a naughty twist. These removable accents perk up the chemistry between partners any day (or night). Both these accents are now a favourite among women who opt for coordinated bras, panties, and garter sets.
• Ruffles – the ruffled style is back in fashion now, so if you are on the lookout for lingerie sets that are girly and pretty, the ruffled one is your best pick.
Lingerie sets are must have products in any woman's wardrobe. Not only do they look good, but they also make you feel gorgeous and confident from inside.

Turmeric is a plant. You probably know turmeric as the main spice in curry. It has a warm, bitter taste and is frequently used to flavor or color curry powders, mustards, butters, and cheeses. But the root of turmeric is also used widely to make medicine.
Turmeric is used for arthritis, heartburn (dyspepsia), stomach pain, diarrhea, intestinal gas, stomachbloating, loss of appetite, jaundice, liver problems and gallbladder disorders.
It is also used for headaches, bronchitis, colds, lung infections, fibromyalgia, leprosy, fever, menstrual problems, and cancer. Other uses include depression, Alzheimer's disease, water retention, worms, and kidney problems.

D.J. Mello arrived in Livermore on May 11 just in time for the last day of shooting at the 63rd Golden West Grand trapshooting competition.
But that was all the 17-year-old Los Banos resident needed to walk away as one of the youngest event winners in the event's history after scattering 96 of 100 targets in the afternoon handicap event. A 12-year-old has won twice at the competition, and then there's Mello.
"I was pretty happy, being the youngest one," Mello said. "It felt good."
In the process Mello bested a number of shooters he's looked up to since he started shooting competitively, including Los Banos' own Dan Bonillas, a member of the Trapshooting Hall of Fame.

The Golden West Grand consisted of 10 events spread over five days. Mello shot in the last two, scoring a 92 in the morning session, which ended in a shoot-off with Tom Minkel. But Mello added four to that score in the afternoon session to win the 133-shooter event, beating second-place Clinton Freeman by one target to win a belt buckle.
Mello has shot with the Los Banos Tigers Youth Trap Team for seven years, and started competing in adult Amateur Trapshooting Association events a year after starting with the Tigers.
After the morning session, Mello analyzed his shooting form.
"A couple of my misses I didn't follow through at the target, so I shot behind it," he said. "And it was pretty windy, so the targets were jumping all over the place. I shot over the top of them because they would just dive down."
In the afternoon session, Mello picked up his Perazzi MX2008 and fell back on his years of repetitive training at the Los Banos Sportsmen's Association.
"You do the same thing every time," the Los Banos High student said. "Just put the gun in the same spot every time, and have a smooth movement to the target."
Tiger teammate Ali Viera was the high lady shooter in the same event with an 89.
The handicap events involved shooters standing at distances of 16 to 27 yards. As a shooter wins handicap events, they are moved back by one-yard increments – known as "punching your card," since handicaps are noted on a shooter's scorecard by a hole punch. Mello's victory moved him from 23 yards to 24.
"His ultimate goal is to shoot from 27 yards, which is the farthest back you can go," said Darrell Mello, D.J.'s dad.
Mello and the Tigers youth trap team will be back in action in the California Youth Shooting Sports Association on May 31 in Martinez.

Monitoramento de Ambientes Virtuais Distribuídos com suporte a clientes sob projeção única e multiprojeção
Penteado, Maurício Giacomini
MetadataMostrar registro completo
Immersive, interactive, and collaborative distributed applications, due to their real time and multi-platform characteristics, require a monitoring structure of their functionalities during the development period, which is not fully available in the current monitoring systems, which are usually specific of the languages and platforms in which they are made available. Monitoring systems that require synchronism of distributed objects during the processing is a complex task. Especially in distributed systems from multi-projection where timing is critical to its operation. It is often difficult to check the correct execution of the system. It might be useful for developers and users of such systems to have the ability of identifying, for example, if the reason for the system delay is due to the abusive use of a resource or due to programming mistakes; the identification of which object has crashed, compromising the system as a whole. Distributed object systems, also known as SOA (Service Oriented Architecture), generally use middleware of the broker type in their infrastructure and can have a dynamic number of connected clients or servers when running. There are, in the literature, several tools for the monitoring of performance, resources, debugging, and support, among others, of such systems. Nevertheless, the tools available in the literature are limited to programming languages or platforms that are able to process the monitoring agents related to them. In this work, a tool for the monitoring of distributed object systems is proposed, based on communication described in XML documents, which allows language and platform independence in the such systems development. A structure for the design of tools for the monitoring of distributed object systems is proposed, based on communication described in XML documents, which allows language and platform independence in the such systems development. In addition to the structure that is theoretically founded, the conception of a tool is structured in the manner described and proven in monitoring data from a case study.

VILNIUS – The Lithuanian national men's basketball team announced the final lineup for EuroBasket 2017 on Tuesday.
With a bit more than a week left until the European basketball championship, the coach staff of the Lithuanian basketball team announced the final list of 12 players to play in the tournament.
Mantas Kalnietis, 30, point guard from EA7 Emporio Armani Milano, Italy, and one of the national team's veterans, will lead the team as the captain. Kalnietis will share his position with Lukas Lekavicius, 23-year guard from Panathinaikos Athens, Greece.
The 25-year-old Jonas Valanciunas from Toronto Raptors, NBA, is to be the main center forward for the national team. Another center forward at the lineup is Arturas Gudaitis, 24, from Lietuvos rytas Vilnius, Lithuania.
Arturas Milaknis, 31, sniper from Zalgiris Kaunas, Lithuania, Martynas Gecevicius, 29, guard, who finished the season at CAI Zaragoza, Spain, and Marius Grigonis, 23, from Alba Berlin, Germany, will play guard or small forward positions.
Mindaugas Kuzminskas, 27, small forward from New York Knicks, will share his position with Edgaras Ulanovas, 25, forward from Zalgiris Kaunas.
The 26-year-old Donatas Motiejunas, who is to play at Chinese basketball club Shandong Golden Stars, will be one of the main power forwards in Lithuania's national basketball team.
During the last training phase, Motiejunas will have to leave the national team temporarily "on personal grounds", head coach Dainius Adomaitis, 43, told local media.

Ready For 2016
Now, I'm getting the hell outta here :)
As I'm about to take off to the sunny beaches of Cuba for a week of running, I'm leaving you with a renovated interface and a new, slicker look I hope you like.
I want FlintLand and 2016 to have one thing in common; to be vectors for change. After a quite bumpy 2015, I'm ready for a fresh start with a light heart and happy feet.
Plan F has already brought some tangible results, and will keep carrying me over the next year. I aim for connection, discovery and elation!
You with me?
I love you all. Have a great Holiday Season.
May you be generous on hugs and smile to your heart's content!

Good morning! and Happy March! He we are at the start of a new month, where does the time fly off to!? Well, with it being the beginning of the month it's time for Scrap It Girl's monthly challenge! This month we are focusing on SELFIES!! That's right, selfies! Now's the time to bust one of them out and print it! If you don't have one what a perfect excuse to take one! We always leave ourselves out of the scrapbooks, it's time to add a picture of you! Here's mine!
I did this layout last year and submitted it to Scrap n' Art Magazine. It was chosen to be published so I didn't get much of an opportunity to share it until now. I love how perfect this layout came out. Taking selfie's is really not my thing but I need to remember that someday my daughters or even grandchildren might want to see who I was. ;)
I started out with some wooden doilies. The more I looked at them the more I decided they could pass for snowflakes and started inking them up. I added foam dots the backs and tied some twine to make them look like they were hanging.
Here's a closer look.
Then on this one I wanted it flush with the picture so I cut it in half using an exact-o knife.
Now it's your turn! You have until March 31st to link up your fun Selfie layout over at Scrap It Girl! You'll also want to go check out the awesome prize and what the rest of the design team has to share!
Thanks for stopping by! :)

An out-of-court settlement has been reached in the case of a North Texas man who woke up from bladder surgery only to find that doctors had amputated his penis without permission, lawyers said on Thursday.
Terms of the out-of-court settlement were not disclosed but Hurshell Ralls, 67, had been seeking over $5 million in a civil suit he filed in Wichita Falls, Texas, against the two doctors who removed his penis. They did not admit to any wrongdoing in the settlement.
The hospital where the surgery was performed was also named in the suit.
Ralls' attorney Steve Briley said that his client was having surgery in 1999 to remove a cancerous bladder, which would likely include the removal of his prostate gland. From ABC.net.au

Moazum Mohammad
Srinagar: As the dusk sets in, Srinagar portrays a ghostly look in Ramadan. The markets close down and traffic thins out of roads. But Bohri Kadal in the heart of downtown springs to life. A heavy rush of visitors swarm the place to taste mouth-watering delicacy Kulfi, a traditional frozen dessert specially prepared after day-long effort.
Eight kulfiwallas set their makeshift kiosks on the edge of Bohri Kadal chowk. Sitting behind huge pots filled with cone-shaped plastic moulds and ice, these kulfiwallas serve cold and yummy kulfi to customers to beat the summer heat.
As the call for iftar comes from a local mosque, the clatter of bowls and spoons sets in as enthusiasts rush to nibble on frozen delights after a daylong fasting. Within no time, the rush steadily progresses as people cover 20-30 kilometers drive to taste this delicacy. Some sit on the chairs laid out on sidewalk while families prefer to order from their vehicles. The rush rarely thins out.
Asking these kulfiwallas to have your attention at this rush-hour is as good as talking to a stone. "We can talk tomorrow about it," retorts one of the kulfiwalla.
In the daytime as one approaches their houses in a narrow alley at Bohri Kadal, these kulfiwallas are busy in preparing sweetened milk and filling cones for the evening. "It's a hectic process. We start our day around dawn and boil milk in deep pans. The sweetened milk is then filtered into cones and kept in ice after mixing all ingredients," says Meraj-ud-Din, who ekes out his living from the trade for last 15 years.
Meraj isn't alone in his family to sell kulfi. He says this trade has turned as a "family business" for them. "We got into this trade by chance. We used to glance silently at the legendary kulfiwalla Ama Badoo (Ghulam Ahmad Badoo), and that's how we learnt it. Honestly, our product is no match to that great God-gifted kulfiwalla. May Allah rest his soul in peace, I can tell you we only learnt a bit of the trade, not entirely," Meraj told Kashmir Reader while filling the cones in the corner of his small courtyard at his home.
On an average, the ice-cream vendors sell around 4,000 kulfis in the evening from 8 pm till 11 pm. The demand can be gauged from the fact that on weekends or holidays, the customers leave dejected as the eight kulfiwallas run out of stock. The tinge of inflation, however, has not spared this delicious dessert as the prices have doubled in the recent years. Currently a single cone is prized at Rs 30. Some years ago, it would cost Rs 15.
Interestingly, Bohri Kadal hogged headlines when Kashmir's first batch of militants brandished AK-47 rifles in 1989 for the first time. And this place is also few meters from historical Jamia Masjid.
"Those were hard days. We used to run our business from 11 am to 4 pm. There was no rush as the place was surrounded by CRPF bunkers. So people preferred to stay away," recalls Meraj.
Yet, Bohri Kadal kulfi remains perennial favourite of Kashmiris.

|A postage stamp featuring Rube Goldberg's art (MoPop).
ATTRACTIONSIronically, Rube Goldberg was one of America's most popular cartoonists, but today, many are unaware of his talent – until now. A brand new traveling exhibit, "The Art of Rube Goldberg" has recently opened at MoPop featuring over 90 pieces of art that spans more than 70 years of this man's life. This is just a small fraction of the estimated 50,000 cartoons that he drew during his lifetime.
Even if they aren't familiar with his name, most people are familiar with Goldberg's style of "inventions" where a path of unrelated objects work together to create a solution to a problem we didn't even knew we had. The most well-known example of this is the Goldberg-inspired Mousetrap Game. It was his humor and creativeness that inspired some well-known sequences in various movies and cartoons including the Wallace and Gromit shorts, Edward Scissorhands, Back to the Future and most recently, OK Go's music video, "This Too Shall Pass." However, this was just part of what Goldberg has been known for.
|Rube Goldberg and his father.
In 1930, Goldberg wrote the screenplay for the film Soup to Nuts which featured the first appearance of the Three Stooges as well as one of his inventions. Goldberg was also the first president of the National Cartoonists Society.
|A Professor Butts cartoon.
"The Art of Rube Goldberg" continues through April 24, 2017. More information about the exhibit can be found here.

Hi there!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog. This is a huge step for me, it makes me feel terribly vulnerable and yet I keep getting drawn to doing it, as though my verbal purge will really help me.
I haven't been fat all my life, just all of my adult life save for a period of about one year when I exercised and dieted and lost all of the extra pounds and was at my ideal weight.
My goal is to lose 75 pounds and then see where I am.
I'm married and live in Ontario, Canada. No kids except for the four footed type in the form of a dog that I adore. I am very fortunate in that my husband is – as always – completely in my corner and is very supportive of my journey. He has his own weight issues and struggles, but he is not a saboteur and understands my struggles.
I'm striving to not give blame, to accept responsibility and I don't wish to engage in any poor me stories as I view that as negative. There is no poor you. You are where you are because of choices.
My goal is to speak my truth, but also to entertain you, engage you in discussion and maybe inspire you in some way.
This is more of a compelling thing for me to do. As I shine my inner light on what keeps me fat, why I've made the choices I've made, why I got here, how to regain balance, etc., I feel that a part of healing, or at least understanding, is for me to write it all out and share it. I can only explain it as I feel compelled.
Some of this is going to be cringe worthy. And that's on purpose because my honesty may assist others – of course it may turn people totally off to. I'll gamble for now.
It's hard for me to go 'public' as this keeps me accountable to readers – and to myself to a degree. I'll be sharing the bad days and the great days, and hopefully I'll have many more good ones than bad ones.
For anyone struggling with weight issues, I promise you that you cannot horrify me or stop me with stories of how much you've eaten, or what you've done to get your drug of choice. We could play a game where each of us could take turns horrifying the other, but there is little point in that. I accept you as you are and what you have or haven't done. Reflection is good, but dwelling is not.
I welcome your feedback – that is I welcome respectful feedback. You can be tough, that's okay, but I don't tolerate disrespect in any form. Thank you for reading. I encourage you to subscribe, however I promise not to be offended if you don't. The Universe will provide the readers who need to be here.
Best wishes,

Purplebricks Takes a Tumble
21st Feb 2019
King's College has unveiled plans to turn fifteen homes and a nursery school into a new development based just off Barton Road in Cambridge.
The plans include student accommodation as well as a new nursery and residential units.
A number of residents have already expressed their concerns over the proposal, particularly in regards to its design, with one resident suggesting that it is very important to ensure that the new building "is entirely in keeping with the character of the surrounding buildings on the Barton Road."
Another suggested that the proposed buildings were more reminiscent of office blocks than local resident property. In addition, its argued that the number of occupants will increase significantly, thereby negatively impacting the traffic density in the area.

Recently I've been thinking about my New Year's resolutions and realized, all of them will take hard work! Things I've wanted to do for a long time have been held back by fear and frustration. Take surfing as an example. The fun and exhilaration of it seems impossible to resist, but the fear of sharks holds me back. When I am in these types of situations, I try to remember a song I love written by a famous Christian artist named Francesca Battistelli. It says, " this is the stuff that drives me crazy, this is the stuff that's been getting to me lately…. but I gotta trust, that you know exactly what you're doing; might not be what I would choose, but this is the stuff you use." so, next time you have a confusing fear, or anything you think happened with no good purpose, remember this song. [ Thanks to my mom, for telling me I should apply this song to life! 🙂 ]
This Is the Stuff

Australia's premier Scottish Gathering – Brigadoon – will again weave its magic on April 17 2010, at Bundanoon in the Southern Highlands of NSW.
Be prepared to have your blood stirred and spine tingled as the mist rolls back to the skirl of bagpipes and the village becomes Brigadoon for the day.
This year, Highlander, one of the finest Scottish Celtic Rock Bands in the world, is bringing its unique sound to the gathering. This five piece group has a unique sound which has been wowing audiences of all ages with their electrifying high-energy music.
The powerful sound of the bagpipes, matched with dynamic sound of the fiddle, and electric and acoustic guitars, compliment the powerhouse bass grooves, pulsating percussion, and vocal harmonies.
Highlander, while keeping traditional music in its repertoire, has also added its own flavour to the reels, jigs, and songs of Scotland. However, they are most outstanding when they perform their original compositions which are rich in melody and message.
Highlander has appeared at events such as Scotland in Concert (Jakarta Indonesia), Tamworth Country Music Festival, The Australian Celtic Festival, Kilmore Celtic Festival, Toukley Gathering of the Clans, Nelson Bay Clans on the Coast, and many clubs, hotels, private and corporate functions. They always provide a show that is dynamic and entertaining.
It is impossible not to be caught up in the energy Highlander brings to every show. They are an act guaranteed to have audiences dancing in the oval aisles!!
The Scottish Gatering at Brigadoon highlights include:
Scottish Country Dancing
Street Parade
25 Pipe Bands performing later in the arena throughout the day
Traditional (and not so traditional) Highlands Games – caber toss, throwing the haggis, shot put, water toss, egg toss, Fergie stones
Display of medieval duelling and combat
'Bonnie Bairns' Highland Dress Competition
and much more

And people said scans would never come.
will there be more translation coming?
I posted in hopes of attracting translators' attention.
>Croutons is an asshole, but a moe domino-building asshole
Men with bowlcuts cannot be trusted. Girls are fine.
Trillram seems like the kind of guy that would beat a girl or stalk her if she denied his affection. It was really Slaine pulling his hand away that pissed him off.
>Hime and Saaz are responsible for all of Slaine's suffering
This is just your delusion and not something the writers actually said, right?
It's a joke about the BD2 manga. Saazbaum is the one who got Cruhteo to take Slaine in, and seems like it's Hime's obvious friendly affection for Slaine (even bowing to him) that got on Cruhteo's nerves.
Saazbaum was the one that picked Cruhteo as Slaine's caretaker. Asseylum bowed to Cruhteo and asked him to take care of Slaine and then when he was leaving she freaked out causing him to run back to her which just instigated all of the bullying.
I fault Saazbaum the most for making such a poor choice.
Is it a two month trip from Mars to Earth, or am I making that up based on the fact that Hime was on the Landing Castle with Slaine for two months?
We don't know how long it takes to get from Mars to Earth, Cruhteo's castle was in Earth orbit. For some reason she stayed at Cruhteo's for 2 months before the start of the show, probably wanted to catch up with Slaine.
They have teleporters. Didn't they use one to get audience with the emperor?
I think they're projectors, not teleporters.
If they're teleporters, why did they take a shuttle from Mars to Cruhteo's castle?
Slaine's father was a clumsy man like Marito or better?
>yfw year of yuri starts in a less than three months
But I thought that this was the Year of Yuri.
Yeah, that's just a a type of hologram video call. Since Asseylum said she'd only been gone from Mars for 2 months that means that the journey is pretty fast. Cruhteo probably went to pick her up like he did with Slaine.
It's obviously a joke, but Saazbaum is the one who put him to live with two child beaters.
It's like the year of linux, every year
Why was Trillam in Cruhteo castle for 2 years? For a guest that's awfully long and Cruhteo didn't know about the conspiracy
Aoki loves them lesbians undertones. I hope Rat is gay. And wins the Himeb owl.
Are you saying he wanted Slaine's dick and he felt he spurned him for the princess?
Will Aldnoah Light turn Slaine into a girl?
Maybe Sauce wanted him around so he could ensure Slaine would survive.
He was a bit of a dumbass who didn't know his own man.
Cruhteo isn't very smart, his castle would be a great place to lead covert operations. Right under the nose of a very loyal knight no one would suspect a thing.
I know why Sauce would send him for so long but it's strange Cruhteo never said anything. He enjoyed watching Trillam abusing Slaine maybe.
>yfw Bowlcut got mad Slaine still chose the princess in the end ;_;
I thought the beating Slaine was less creepy than the way Bowlcut and Crouton touched his head.
That gave me serious rapist vibes.
What took you so rong?
Nah, it will be Nina winning the Inkob owl.
He works for Saazbaum so probably to monitor Slaine.
Well he seemed to be a lot more successful than Marito at his job.
Both can happen
>tfw missed watching this was /a/ and just recently marathoned it
I mean its nice to see Inaho get killed but what the fuck Slaine holy shit
>Inaho get killed
What does Inaho smell like
It's easy to see why he decided to kill Cruhteo so easily, he was the one that put him in his care and it was blatantly evident that Crutheo viewed him as trash at the end. Saazbaum made a very poor choice, should have just risked it and took him in himself. I have to wonder how much of a vetting process he even used.
It's possible he may have intended to be nice to him originally, Trillram was a brat that never grew up. He was the kind of kid that would pull wings of flies and burn ants.
It wasn't very exciting to watch with /a/ as the show was pretty boring. The episodes where Slaine and Inaho shoot each other got mildly fun threads though.
All of the early threads were endless nitpicking.
What was the point of making the show a monster of the week deal? Killing one martian at a time didn't solve anything ultimately because there is a fuck ton more. Vers never even seemed troubled by the losses. I have no idea where this show is going or what kind of message it tried to bring across.
Rightfully so
>Slaine has the same Aldnoah as royal family
>Slaine has higher ranking in new visual
>Slaine got informed on Vers by Saucebro
what do you think it's going to happen
So that the Earth characters could do something, their only real tie to the plot was Asseylum. Even now I don't know what they're going to do with them, the only real way to end this war is to fix Mars's issues. Beat them back and they'll just come right back until the real issue is solved.
"What was the point of making the show?" Period.
Tried typesetting a page using anon's translations.
What the fuck
This is the issue I have. When I think about the show it just seems like a lot of wasted time. Even killing Saazbaum solves nothing because versians hate terrans and will do this whether or not he started this assassination plot and continue without him.
What? What the hell can he do?
Thank you anon.
Slaine will wind up taking over as Emperor and will either reform Vers or crash it with no survivors.
All Saazbaum did was provide the spark, all of the other Clans moved on their own. Taking him out really doesn't change anything.
Slaine for the time being seems like he'll be working with Asseylum, my bet is she'll have to go against her grandfather in order to stop the war. He's not going to pull out just because she tells him she's alive, they're in too deep. If Slaine becomes any kind of ruler it won't be until near the end, as it is he's just a regular Knight working under the Princess.
Very nice, thank you anon.
If they don't want to change he'll have to do something to put an end to everything, he could just pull the plug on Aldnoah if they won't cooperate.
I think that will be Asseylum's role, not Slaine's.
Yeah, ultimately she'll feel responsible for the state of affairs since it was her family's doing. Once she gets infodumped I see her stepping up, it's easy to see with how she reacted to Rayet.
I wonder if crashing is the best option? How do you reform such a large amount of people who have been indoctrinated into such a toxic way of thinking?
Thanks anon! I think it's fine to replace the titles (top right text).
I hope Slaine dies next season and the Martians lose the war, horribly.
They just wanted it there as an homage to old mecha shows. Zeorymer was one of the influences of the anime and it had a similar setup.
Since they view those with Aldnoah powers as blessed by God they may listen to Asseylum and/or Slaine, it's not going to be easy. I see it turning into a big civil war between factions, we saw on Earth that the Clans don't get along with each other already.
The first episode implied they were always going to do it anyway. Even if he didn't do anything this would happen eventually, they were waiting to spill blood.
There's no way they can lose the war. The only hope is for something to dismantle vers from the inside. The whole first season was the earth long a shitton of forces to a handful of martians.
That's an awful lot of time to spend on a homage considering the show isn't set up in a way to allow this kind of approach to give any progress.
Nobody dies in this show.
They needed to somewhat make Inaho relevant by attaching him to the princess. That's why they had to change Slaine's character from rebellious and ambitious to moeblob with a broken spirit that slowly gets his bite back.
The site background is white again.
Newest locked content code:
They didn't even kill Crouton because muh scary female fans, if Slaine gets a permanent scratch, they'll riot.
That's also why the torture scene was changed to look sexy, if I recall Aoki's last shit.
Tharsis = White
>Mariner 9 (Mariner Mars '71 / Mariner-I) was an unmanned NASA space probe that contributed greatly to the exploration of Mars and was part of the Mariner program. Mariner 9 was launched toward Mars on May 30, 1971[1][2] from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and reached the planet on November 14 of the same year,[1][2] becoming the first spacecraft to orbit another planet [3] — only narrowly beating Soviet Mars 2 and Mars 3, which both arrived within a month. After months of dust storms it managed to send back clear pictures of the surface.
>Mariner 9 returned 7329 images over the course of its mission, which concluded in October 1972.[4]
Slaine shouldn't have been able to get out of bed in the last episode, he should have been covered in slashes and had broken ribs. He should have been a walking bruise.
>yfw when Asshime and Unko's VA's are massive slainefags
Jesus christ it sounds like they are getting heartattacks at the end
But his cheek bandaids were cute.
They were cute but him being back on his feet so so soon after that was ridiculous, they should have just had Cruhteo electrocute him if they didn't want him to be that injured. They have Yuki still running around with her mechanical brace but Slaine's fine after a severed beating?
>Cruhteo's backhand with the whip utterly demolishes his chair
>Slaine doesn't even visibly bleed
If Gen were still here that would be the case.
That boy isn't human, explains why bullets avoid him.
Gen wanted Slaine as a strong independent rebel with a strong spirit. He would have probably whip the fuck of Crouton.
Maybe some weeks passed?
I don't know what to make of this.
I really hope he's more like that next cour, seems like he finally snapped in 12/
Do you have a compilation of the old codes? So we can see the random trivia?
Doubt it, just them not paying attention to details. Like Asseylum trying to get to the Deucalion while still wearing her frilly dress and not using her camouflage.
The only other one I have is GTvonHolst1914, it refers to The Planets composed by Gustav Holst.
It's Mars references.
It's not something 2deep, it's just COOL NAMES connected to Mars, because it's a wallpaper for Vlad sama and Bowlcut robots.
Oh okay. They are really exhausting mars articles on wikipedia.
Code isn't working for me.
Someone uploaded it the other day.
Nevermind, I was trying to use it on VS/022.
As for the anon who wants the old codes, they're in the Archives somewhere. They were on /m/ originally.
Why is Inaho such a manlet?

The firm has grown at a phenomenal pace of 40% compounded annual growth since 2011 and is expected to quicken its pace.
The head of Travelers Cos Inc stated the company will stick to its growth plans on the cyber insurance, which protects businesses against liabilities revolving around hacking and cyber attacks.
We feel like we're just in the right spot," said Thomas Kunkel, Travelers Cos' president of bond and specialty insurance during an investor meeting in Connecticut.
The pace of sales at its cyber insurance business has grown at a 40% compound annual rate since 2011. Kunkel said "It would not be hard," to quicken the pace. However, it must be "respectful and prudent" on the potential risks involved, said Kunkel.
According to insurers, with the ever evolving sophistication of hacking attacks and with the cyber insurance industry being in its infancy, makes it challenging for them to quantify potential cyber-related losses.
According to Kunkel, around three-quarters of Travelers' cyber policies cover up to $1 million in damages, while nearly another quarter covers between $1 million and $5 million.
"We manage our limits very closely," said Kunkel.
Widespread hacking attacks have largely driven the demand for cyber insurance, particularly in the financial services sector, said Fitch Ratings in a report.
"As the cyber insurance market develops, competition is likely to erode profit margins," said Fitch.
According to Fitch, new entrants to the cyber market may lack underwriting experience and are likely to take on risks that could exceed their capital.
Events that could trigger cyber insurance claims include, large cyber attacks on the transportation system or on systemic infrastructure, or hacks on large data storage, said Fitch.
On October 26, the American International Group had stated it was reviewing all types of its insurance coverage to gauge its exposure to risks. The firm is slated to provide cyber coverage as part of its commercial insurance during the first quarter of 2018, said Tracie Grella, global head of AIG's cyber risk insurance.

Increase Web Sales: ID'ing Bottlenecks
Posted by Matt | Filed under Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Site Traffic Analysis
To improve your ecommerce sales, it's important to identify the bottleneck in the buying process and attack that first, whether that's the cart, the colors, the design, the consumer trust level, or the quantity or quality of incoming traffic.
Terminology: traffic is people visiting your site via organic search, advertising, or type-ins. Your cart, your site design, and site content, are all components of conversion. To increase your sales, you increase traffic or increase conversion, or both.
But which? The answer is whichever is cheapest.
To be able to make a decision to identify the bottleneck we need something: numbers.
If you're getting 10 visitors a day and not seeing revenue, your bottleneck is traffic. If you're getting a thousand visitors a day and not seeing revenue, your bottleneck is conversion. Of course that's a heavy simplification, and your site falls into a grey area in between those two senarios. And that's the problem: the answer, without further examination, is grey.
Enter Google Analytics. It's a free service that allows you to look at your traffic from every conceivable angle. I've been using it for 4 years and still find it fresh and insanely informative. I use it to track traffic on 17 sites, some mine and some my clients'.
With GA I can spot incoming traffic strengths, organic search weaknesses, purchase path dropoff points, and dozens of other data that tell me what's going on with my site. It even has an behavior overlay that "overlays" little graphs on any page of your site that show which links/buttons your users are clicking on.
GA isn't the only tool, but it's the one I use. Whichever tool you choose, don't make a decision without looking at your traffic to identify your site's bottleneck.

giving thanks in ALL things
"give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." -1 Thes. 5:18
Giving thanks is what this month is all about. Facebook has been cluttered with people posting daily what they are thankful for. Ryan and I have always begun each meal saying something we are each thankful for. This season I even created something for the two of us to share what we are thankful for each day for 30 consecutive days. There are SO MANY things for us to give thanks for; many which sometimes we take for granted.
But what about when things don't go the way we want? What about when something interrupts what we need to be doing or makes it difficult to do what we need to do? This is not the time we think to give thanks. In fact, this is the time we get frustrated. We complain and make excuse to others about why we can't do something or be somewhere because something has inconvenienced us.
At the beginning of this month I read this blog that did a great job explaining this idea. Check out the blog: http://www.incourage.me/2013/11/thankful-in-all.html.
Fast forward about 5 days from reading the blog and I am tutoring. Time to leave one house and go to another and what do you know, my car doesn't start. Not what you want to happen when people are depending on you, it's COLD outside, your husband is at home (45 minutes away), and you're trying to save money. I'm not going to lie and say that I wasn't frustrated (naturally, who wouldn't be), but I didn't let it hold me captive. I looked at all the positive things that came from this that I could give thanks for:
- I was able to walk to the house I had to go to (never before have I tutored and the houses are in the same neighborhood)
- Ryan was getting ready to go on a business trip, but he wasn't leaving until the next day
- The dad of the family where I was tutoring, taking time out of his night to try to jump my car
- Having a warm place to wait for my husband and AAA
- Having upped my AAA coverage about a year ago so my long tow was covered
- Having Ryan's car to use while he was out of town (probably would have had it even if he was in town!)
- Getting reimbursed from one repair shop to help pay for the other for part of what was causing problems with my car
In looking at this list, I had a ton to be thankful for. There are even some that I didn't mention.
What happened this past week, well Ryan's computer files were erased. Bad enough right? Especially since he was speaking and NEEDED his presentations. To make matters worse, then his computer went dead and wouldn't turn on. Yea, I'll go ahead and speak for Ryan and say this was frustrating, inconvenient and nerve-racking. What did we have to be thankful for: my computer that worked, the Apple Genius Bar, Dropbox, and a husband that is a DIGTAL HOARDER. Yes, Apple let Ryan know that he had too many files so it was an easy fix and all is back to normal. He may have added another gray hair or two, but the presentation went off without a hitch!
We challenge you during this holiday season, even when things aren't what you want them to be, thought they would be, something doesn't go the way you want it to, or something happens you weren't planning on, take a moment and think about all the other great things you have or could come from the situation. It is hard sometimes to find those things. They have to be searched for, but they are there.

I'm just going to be honest. This week has not been the best week at our house.
Both of us have been really busy with work and working weird schedules.
Then Jason has had issues with both of us trucks (the joys of car ownership),
and there were some random things to bring us down.
So, I am borrowing a line from a Gary Allan song,
"Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride..."
Life will never be perfect. And every week can't be the best week ever.
If we never had a bad week, we wouldn't appreciate the good weeks as much!
God certainly never promised us perfection.
In fact, he promised exactly the opposite.
In fact, he promised exactly the opposite.
James 1:2 (NLT)
"Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy." (emphasis mine)
It doesn't say "if trouble comes your way"; trouble is surely coming.
But God has promised that He will be with us in every circumstance.
Deutoronomy 31:6 (NLT)
"So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will never fail you nor abandon you."
I love it! God has personally gone before us. He already knows where we are headed because he has been there already! Amazing!!
And He will never fail us or abandon us.
And He will never fail us or abandon us.
He is there in the good weeks and the bad weeks.
God had truly blessed me in this bad week through the Passion White Flag CD.
We were able to get a copy at Passion City Church on Sunday.
I have been listening to it non-stop since.
If you don't have a copy, I highly recommend it!!
This CD has literally brought me to tears every time I listen.
Oh the love God has for me and all He has done.
I cannot even choose a favorite song because they are all awesome!
There are a few lyrics that have really touched me this week that I would like to share.
You Revive Me- Christy Nickels
"My soul, O Lord, is thirsty
Only you can satisfy
You're the well that never will run dry
You revive me, You revive me Lord
And all my deserts are rivers of joy
You are the treasure, I could not afford
So I'll spend myself til I'm empty and poor
All for you, You revive me Lord"
Mystery- Charlie Hall
"Sweet Jesus Christ, my sanity
Sweet Jesus Christ, my clarity
Bread of Heaven, broken for me
Cup of salvation, held up to drink
Jesus, mystery
Christ has died and Christ is risen
Christ will come again"
One Thing Remains- Kristian Stanfill
"Your love never fails, never gives up
Never runs out on me
Higher than the mountains that I face
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant in the trial and the change
One thing remains"
Thank you Jesus for reviving me and being the only thing I need.
Thank you for being my sanity and clarity.
Thank you that your love is unending and unfailing!
Thank you for being my sanity and clarity.
Thank you that your love is unending and unfailing!

Renewable Energy: Yes or No?
Joanna Fain
Eng. 122 English Composition II
April 15th, 2013
Although fossil fuels provide an inexpensive form of energy, they have been shown to pollute ecosystems, endanger animals and humans, are not sustainable, and cannot provide nearly the amount of energy that can be obtained from renewable sources.
Fossil fuels do provide an inexpensive form of energy, but in contrast, they also pollute the atmosphere with greenhouse gases, thus contributing to climate change. Global warming is primarily due to increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and the single most important source of this carbon dioxide is the combustion of fossil fuels" (Bostrom, Read, & Morgan, 2010). Oil is the energy source of our time. We refine the crude, extracted oil into different products like gasoline, jet-fuel, diesel and even plastics. Fossil fuels have promoted global commerce and are behind many of the greatest technological and social innovations of our day.
"Fossil fuel is made up of, oxidized and decayed animal and vegetable materials, specifically coal, peat, lignite, petroleum and natural gas" (Sica, 2011). We retrieve these fuels from under the ground and under water and then use this for electricity. The problem with this method is the over spill into the oceans and above ground. Some of the major oil spills that have occurred that have affected our environment are: Ixtoc 1 Oil Spill, Atlantic Empress oil spill, Arabian Gulf/Kuwait, and the Gulf oil spill, to name a few. There are many more but, with just the ones mentioned in the above oil spills are equal to around 956 million gallons of oil spilled out into our oceans and land (Live Science article Top Ten Worst Oil Spills of Our Time). This alone kills all the animals and mammals living around it.
Not only is drilling for the oil dangerous, but burning the fuel is as well. Fossil fuels are bad for the environment because they create greenhouse gases, which go up in to the atmosphere, magnifying the sun's heat and can cause ice caps to melt. This is turn leads to the sea level rising, causing flooding, and if too much ice melts, animals in the Arctic could die. With the rate the glaciers are melting the earth will become warmer in this century. This warming will accelerate natural disasters with sea levels rising and causing coastal areas to flood. Other climactic changes will bring more natural disasters with stronger storms.
The environment is paying a serious price for our unbridled consumption of fossil fuels and our climate is warming at a rate that may cause irreversible consequences. Oil spills, ecological damage, pollution and human health risks are just some of the negative impacts of oil exploration, development and use. Water pollution, acid rain, and lung disease in humans are often found in industrialized areas. The overhang, or smog as we call it, is carbon monoxide gas created from fossil fuels. This gas is released into the environment, primarily from vehicles, and accumulates in the air (Kaufman & Cleveland, 2008). People breathe in the gas and it enters into the bloodstream through the lungs. When this happens, it prevents the blood from delivering enough oxygen to the body's tissues and organs. It can cause headaches, impaired vision and learning disabilities. It is particularly dangerous for individuals suffering from heart conditions and it can also cause lung disease.
While health impacts from fossil fuels are being seen in humans, fossil fuels are remaining to be the main source of energy worldwide. China and India, both of which have very large coal resources, now burn about half of all coal mined annually in the world (BP Statistical Review of World Energy, 2011). Both of these countries plan to increase coal production greatly in the next few decades to fuel their rapidly growing economies. If so, we could have a run-away global climate change due to the enormous...
