Astrophysics is the study of how stars, planets and other things in the Universe work, and how we can learn about them. Astrophysicists use physics to explain what astronomers find and see.
Astrophysics is also the study of how the Universe started and how it is changing with time. This part of astrophysics is called cosmology.
History
For a long time bodies in the sky seemed to be unchanging spheres moving in a circle. But on Earth growth and decay happened, and natural motion was in a straight line. Therefore, people thought the celestial region was made of a fundamentally different kind of matter from that found on Earth.
During the 16th and 17th century, natural philosophers such as Nicolaus Copernicus, Johannes Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, and Newton, began to maintain that the celestial and terrestrial regions were made of similar material and were subject to the same natural laws.
When they were able to work out how the planets moved, the science of astrophysics was born. Sir Isaac Newton realized that the same rules of mechanics that he had found on the surface of the Earth also could be used to predict how the planets moved. He said, "As above, so below". By this, he meant that we can study how things work on this planet to find out how things work in space.
Later scientists looked at the light from stars. This process is called spectroscopy. They were able to work out what they were made of, and how they changed with time.
Types of astrophysics
There are two main types of astrophysics:
Observational astrophysics. Observational astrophysicists use telescopes to study the Universe, but astrophysicists study the physics of what they see to explain the Universe.
Radio astronomy
Optical astronomy
Infrared astronomy
Ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma ray astronomy using space telescopes
Theoretical astrophysics uses information from astronomers, theories and mathematics to explain how the Universe works. Cosmology is a type of theoretical astrophysics. Problems investigated include:
Solar System: its formation and evolution
Star formation and evolution
Galaxy formation and evolution
large-scale structure of matter in the universe
Origin of cosmic rays
General relativity
Evolution of the universe
Hydrodynamics is used for mathematically modelling how gases behave. Strong magnetic fields found around many bodies can drastically change how these gases behave, affecting things from star formation to the flows of gases around compact stars.
An example
Cecilia Helena Payne (later Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin) published her doctoral dissertation at Radcliffe College in 1925. She had discovered that hydrogen and helium were the main content of stars. More than that, the spectral classes relate to the temperature of stars. Despite Eddington's suggestion, her discovery was so unexpected that her dissertation readers told her to modify the conclusion before publication. Later research confirmed her discovery.

Friday The 13th Funny-Welcome Back "Blogger!"
Welcome back, your site maintenance was your ticket out.
Welcome back to that same old place that we hang about.
Well the blogs have all changed since we hung around,
But our blogger friends still remain and they've updated now.
[ Lyrics from: ]
Who'd have thought you'd lead us (Who'd have thought you'd lead us)
To WordPress (if you continue to screw us!)
Yeah we tease you a lot cause we've got ya on the spot,
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back!!!
WELCOME BACK BLOGGER!!!
Let's hope that after Blogger's scheduled "hour long maintenance" that turned into at least 14 hours long, you and I are spared anymore Friday the 13th shenanigans!! Superstitions? Coincidence? YOU decide!
We--and the mom--are very happy (a) to see Blogger back and (b) that we haven't posted since last week. We see that not all previous posts are restored yet, wouldn't wanted to have lost anything. :-P
Happy weekend to all.
Lol I love it! I didn't actually notice it was down :( Toooo busy!
I lost a great post, so Post Mortem comes to mind! Have a great weekend!!!
That was awesome! We are setting up a secondare wordpress version of the blog just in case, and are going to increase our exports for sure!
MOL!!Purrfect! It has been frustrating.
@Fuzzy, another person mentioned that too. Thanks for reminding me. I have to check, I didn't check to see if I lost anything. Thank you! Have a great weekend!
@Stacy and Ellie, thank you!! Ohhhh you missed all of the "fun?" lol!!! It was down since late afternoon yesterday :)
@Brian ohhhh noooooo!! I am soooooooo sorry!!! I lost the link you sent me to your other blog....if you get a sec would you mind please re-sending? Or...if you do post it again on Blogger I can just look for it here. thank you!! xoxoxo
@Amy thank you!!! You are smart to set up a second version (WordPress version)....I have my dog's blog on WordPress but there are things I can do on Blogger that I can't do on WordPress (unless I haven't figured it out). That is smart of you though! xoxo
@The Whiskeratti thank you!!! OMG I know! It started with me last Thurs/Fri. Blogger deleted the blogs I was following. Then late yesterday I came on wanting to catch up on reading the blogs and I couldn't. Today I came on early this am (like so many others) and couldn't post. It was actually lucky for me because I thought I had a guest post for today. I contacted the person and never heard from her. Blogger saved me cause I don't write my blogs in advance (I should, but I don't). Hopefully all will be fine now!
I kind of enjoyed the break! Does it make me a bad blogger? lol
I am happy it is finally back up but Where oh Where did my Earlier Posts Go, Oh Where oh Where Can They Be??
Yes blogger has been a pain. I lost a post too. Who knows if we ever see them again. Never mind onwards and upwards as they say.. Hugs GJ xx
Yep, frustrating for sure. Could get in to get a link to my current post - an interview.
Cute way to welcome back blogger, hehehe
WE've been blogging for awhile and this is the first time we've encounter anything of this magnitude with blogger.
I couldn't find out what was going on and finally ran onto a site that monitors all the major blogs, twitter, Fb etc....yesterday Yahoo mail was down the same time that Blogger was. And TWITTER has been having outages today along with Tumblr. So it happens, just usually not 20+ hours. I missed not being able to visit our furfriends last night, but Blogger is saying that all deleted posts and comments will be restored.
And I agree with you about WP!
Complicated!

~ManxMnews
Come on over to Wordpress. It was so hard on us WPers not to be able to connect with you blogspotters. I really missed this!
@Julia...if it does...then it makes me a bad one too....shhhh.....I enjoyed it too! lol.
@Nadbugs, I have Dakota's blog on WordPress. Cody's is staying put for the time being! (unless Blogger has other plans!) You were so sweet to say you missed us! Thank you!
@Abby and Gang, I agree with you. I am certain you have been blogging longer than I have. (it will be 2 yrs for me in Oct)...I also have never seen anything like this happen with Blogger. I guess they are entitled. Yep I agree about WP. There are all kinds of things I can't do there that I CAN do here!
@Linda thank you! Yep it was frustrating but I agree with Julia, it was kind of a guilty pleasure! lol
@GJ they are saying they will be restored! I sure hope yours is. Thankfully I didn't post yesterday :)
@Shawn I am happy they are back up to! They say your posts will be back! I hope so!
I was beginning to wonder if I would ever be able to get back on Blogger. I already have a blog on Wordpress so it would be no problem for me to go right on over there. Blogger finally let me on to visit and make comments and it appears they restored all my posts.
Would love to have seen the picture of Cody on the table. Thank you for all your great comments on my posts. Love them. Hugs and nose kisses from all of us for you and Cody.
Thanks COD ! Mom had been so frustrating. This morning, when Blogger is back to normal and all of the sudden. My mom can't use anything on internet ! even load Google Page ! Took her almost an hour to get back on....This is really night mare ... MOL
xoxo
I'm so glad they are back up. I was wanting to get caught up with my blog reading yesterday, only to be thwarted by the Blogger gods. Glad they've relented :)
We are glad to have blogger back. We wanted to share our mum's news but bad blogger made us wait.
I have my old MSN Spaces blogs (almost 6 years worth) on Word Press and some since they were ransferred. Admiral seems to take all of my time though. She always wants me here helping her..which I do as she is the boss.
xoxox
@Mumsy I am so glad that all of your posts and all have been restored, I felt so bad for the people that that happened to! Ohhhh you may still see Cody's table photo (didn't come out that great though)....I took it today and haven't posted it on the blog yet :)
@Admiral OMG you have been blogging for SIX YEARS!!??? OMG boy do I ever admire you!! Yes, our kitties are "the boss" and they don't ever let us forget it!
@Eric & Flynn, I am glad Blogger is back too! I am going to go and look for your post now!
@Vicky, same with me. I was behind a day or so on my blog reading and was trying to do the same when the Blogger Gods got all of us!
@Mr.Puddy all seems to be ok now! Your comment on Facebook was one of the first ones that I saw about it. Once I saw you were having trouble too then I knew it wasn't just me! Actually in a way it turned out to be a good thing...it was God's way of giving us a little blog break! lol
xoxoxo
LOL - That was great. It's so good to be back. I was thinking about Wordpress, but I'm happy to be back on blogger.
Very funny! It was like a limb was gone!
Yikes! That was quite something! We have been out of the loop and very behind this past week and when we finally could go visit yesterday, we couldn't leave comments. Bummer. Glad it's all working now. PS: We like Cody's new litterbox cabinet it is very classy! Have a great weekend!
Sigh. My Human is sooo useless. She can't build cat condos and she couldn't even fix Blogger.
Hi Caren & Cody,
Thanks for your comment on my blog. Yes, Writers and Kitties is a wonderful site!
Yes what would be do without our blogs!! That's it you tell them we will all go to Wordpress if they don't smarten up lol...
Aunty Caren,
For us, trouble (aka Blogger God) started Wednesday afternoon. Then it came back sometime midnight till wee hours of Thursday. Then....it went dead!!!! Shouldn't we rename Blogger Lazarus, now that it has resurrected itself? We're backing up all of our entries (since 2006) into Microsoft Word. You never know with these IT Gods. Oh yeah, welcome back Blogger or should we say, Hail Lazarus! purrrr....meow!
@Yvonne I am happy to be back too! I have Dakota's blog on WordPress, while there are things I do like about WordPress I think I prefer Blogger :)
@Cat-from-Sydney omg it started Wed? That's right, you are ahead of us on time...backing up is a good idea, I should do the same! "Hail Lazarus" lol
@Denise lol yeah!! We will all go to WordPress! (who I heard crashed about a week ago! lol)
@Quasi you are welcome! Thanks for visiting us as well!
@Spitty I feel the same...our Moms are worthless lol, love Cody
@Cloon we have missed you! look what you came back to! lol Blogger just wanted to keep us on our toes! Thanks about the litter box! Thank goodness Cody loves it!
@Fin it was like we lost a limb! I kept looking at the page I couldn't get into going "Ohhhhhhhh nooo!"
Lost a limb is not the word for it! I am away from my studio, took my netbook with me only to find out that there is no WI-FI. Found out I lost blogger while squinting at my phone screen!
Me and Charlie are singing away, lovely Caren and Cody and Dakota!!! Welcome back, welcome back, welcome baaaaaaaaaaack!!!
:-) Take care
x
Totally jacked me up, it was like missing my next hit of crack.
Marmie is very curious why so many pet bloggers use Blogger as their platform. In the healthy living blogging world, Wordpress is king. Also, almost every blogger that blogs about the process of blogging recommends Wordpress too. She's been wanting to ask someone about this for a long time.
To funny Caren! Mommy was laughing so hard, gingerale came out her nose and she coughed and coughed! It was totally hilarious!
Kisses
Nellie
@BayColony oh noooooooo!
@Nellie/The Cat From Hell lmao!! THANK YOU! YOU made ME laugh soooo hard with your comment! OMG!! I hope you are ok!! xoxo
@Link ok I need to have the whole page to respond but I will try and make it short. As a blogger who uses both Blogger and WordPress there are advantages and disadvantages to both. The issue I have with WordPress (among many) are I cannot put badges and other things on WordPress that I can do on Blogger. (Now I admit there might be a way but I am not technologically savvy and have not found a way to do it)...it could easily be me and my shortcomings. My blog is sponsored by The Oakland Press (a local newspaper here) and they have me set up to Blogger. When I first started blogging I knew nothing....I had to teach myself to navigate etc and I find Blogger to be much more user-friendly for a novice blogger than WordPress is. I think someone just starting out would have a much harder time with WordPress. They both have distinct advantages and disadvantages...for now...I will keep Blogger for Cat Chat and leave Dakota's blog on WordPress. But, you are right, most blogging newsletters praise WordPress much more heartily than they do Blogger.
@Mrs Tuna...ONLY YOU!!! I trust the "crack" you are talking about is sniffing the sidewalk kind of "cracks" correct????? Hehehe
@Old Kitty we can hear you and Charlie from here!!!! We THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are happy to be back! Sorry we didn't get to go around to the blogs on Saturday...I was at a wedding shower and ran out of time later in the day. Hope to catch up tonight after I read a book I have to review for tomorrow's blog! xoxoxo
It is good!
LOL - nicely done!
What a crazy frustrating day it was!

IB94036: The Role of Risk Analysis
and Risk Management
in Environmental Protection
Linda-Jo Schierow
Resources, Science, and Industry Division
September 6, 2001
CONTENTS
SUMMARY
The recent change in the leadership in the Senate affects
the prospects in the 107th Congress for comprehensive legislation that would mandate
increased use of risk analysis by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Although
the key Senate proposal for such risk legislation in the 106th Congress had
bipartisan sponsorship, it was opposed by many Democrats, including party leadership. No
comprehensive risk legislation has been proposed in the 107th Congress,
although "unbiased" risk analysis would be required by H.R. 324, a bill to amend
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (i.e.,
Superfund).
On the other hand, Democratic chairmen may be more likely
to consider proposals to use risk analysis to protect "vulnerable
sub-populations." S.
855 would mandate evaluation of health effects for "vulnerable
sub-populations" and establish a U.S. policy of protecting them from pollution with
"an adequate margin of safety." There were similar proposals in the 106th
Congress (i.e., H.R. 199
and S. 1112). S. 940 in the 107th
Congress would amend the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act to require
additional reporting of releases of persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic substances and
extend reporting requirements to amounts of chemicals used as well as released. The bill
also would require EPA and the Consumer Product Safety Commission to list substances toxic
to children and to require new strategies for chemical testing and risk assessment to
ensure full understanding of risks to children.
Risk analysis is the systematic evaluation of hazards and
their possible effects. Views on the potential uses of risk analysis differ. Although,
most experts and policy-makers agree that risk analysis is a valuable tool to inform
decisions, they disagree about the extent to which risk estimates may of risks to human
health, to evaluate problems and solutions ignores other important facets of policy
decisions, such as environmental impacts,,
data are limited, and methods are controversial.
MOST RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The recent change in the leadership in the Senate
affects the prospects in the 107th Congress for comprehensive legislation that would that
would increase use of risk analysis by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Although Senate proposals for such risk legislation in the 105th and 106th
Congresses had bipartisan sponsorship, they were opposed by many Democrats, including
party leadership. No comprehensive risk legislation has been proposed in the 107th
Congress. On the other hand, proposals to use risk assessment to protect "vulnerable
subpopulations" (e.g., S.
855 and S. 940) may
be more likely to receive action in the Senate.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
As a potentially valuable tool for addressing concerns
about the growing cost to regulated industries and communities of compliance with
environmental requirements, risk analysis may be useful to EPA and Congress to set
priorities among programs and evaluate management options. However, considerable
controversy revolves around the value of risk analysis and the role it should play in
environmental decision making. (For more detailed information, see CRS Report 98-619, Risk Analysis: Background on Environmental Protection Agency
Mandates and CRS Report 98-618, Environmental Risk
Analysis: A Review of Public Policy Issues.)
What Is Risk Analysis?
Professional risk analysts do not agree on how key terms
should be defined, but for the purpose of discussion, this report uses the following
specific definitions. In the context of environmental issues, "risk" is defined
as the probability of occurrence of a particular adverse effect on human health or the
environment as a result of exposure to a "hazard," which may be a hazardous
chemical in the environment, a natural hazard, or a hazardous technology. "Risk
assessment" refers to a formal or informal procedure producing a quantitative
estimate of environmental risk. For example, risk assessment is often used to estimate the
expected rate of illness or death in a population exposed to a hazardous chemical.
"Risk analysis" is used more broadly to include quantitative and qualitative
evaluation of all relevant attributes of environmental hazards, risks, adverse effects,
events and conditions that lead to or modify adverse effects, and populations or
environments that influence or experience adverse effects. "Risk management" is
the process of deciding what should be done about a hazard, the population exposed, or
adverse effects, implementing the decision, and evaluating the results. It also refers to
decision making at the program or agency level, for example, deciding which hazards should
be managed and in what order. Comparative (or relative) risk analysis and cost-benefit
analysis are aids to risk management.
Views on Potential
Uses of Risk Analysis
How Valuable a Tool?
Most people seem to agree that risk analysis is a
potentially valuable tool for summarizing scientific information obtained from animal
experiments and studies of accidental or occupational human exposures to hazards. But,
people disagree about how risk analysis should be used and how much influence it should
have on government decisions.
Regulated industries and many academics support legislation
that would increase use by environmental policy makers of risk analysis, arguing that it
is a scientific and objective basis for making rational risk management decisions. It
allows comparisons of the importance of perceived problems and evaluation of the need for
proposed solutions, they maintain. Thus, it permits efficient allocation of limited
resources.
Other academics and most environmentalists stress the
limitations of risk analysis. Activists for environmental justice (that is, avoidance of
disproportionate risks to low-income and minority communities) oppose efforts to increase
the influence of risk analysis, and especially quantitative risk estimates, on
environmental decisions, because it tends to focus attention on relatively small risks to
large populations (for example, the U.S. population as a whole) rather than on large risks
to smaller groups, such as workers, the economically disadvantaged, or ethnic minorities.
Is It a Scientific Basis for
Environmental Decisions?
Some policymakers promote risk analysis as an objective
scientific basis for environmental planning and decisions by federal agencies, Congress,
and the public. In their opinion, more risk analysis would lead to more rational decisions
and replace what they regard as the piecemeal environmental policy that has grown in
response to real and imagined crises. They favor legislation mandating use of risk
analysis of environmental, health, and safety problems to inform Congress and the public,
who may then evaluate and prioritize problems based on sound science.
Opponents of mandated risk analysis argue that the science
used in risk analysis is immature and suitable only for assessing immediate threats or the
risk of developing cancer. In addition, they warn that risk analysis oversimplifies the
problems faced by policymakers and managers of environmental programs, for example, by
generally focusing on one hazard and one effect at a time, or on problems or aspects of
problems that already are well understood. Critics of risk analysis also assert risk
assessment methods are complex and easily manipulated for political purposes. Thus, it is
argued, the decision-making process may be less democratic to the extent it is ostensibly
based on risk.
Many who promote the use of risk analysis acknowledge that
it has limitations but believe these can be overcome through data collection, research,
peer review, or the establishment of guidelines for the consistent conduct of analysis and
presentation of results. S.
746, as reported in the 106th Congress, would require the President's
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in consultation with the Council of Economic
Advisors, the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, and relevant agency
heads, to establish guidelines for cost-benefit analysis and risk assessments. The bill
also would direct agencies to adopt detailed guidelines for risk assessments, consistent
with guidelines issued by OMB, to identify research and training needs in risk assessment,
and to develop a strategy to meet those needs. Finally, the proposed legislation would
require peer review of agencies' risk analyses of proposed and final significant rules and
their alternatives, as well as other risk analyses with potentially significant effects on
public policy, as determined by OMB.
Some proposals attempt to ensure scientific objectivity by
mandating it. For example, S.
746, as reported in the 106th Congress, would require scientists to
consider "all relevant" and "all reliable" scientific data and to
perform an "objective" assessment "based on the weight of the scientific
evidence." However, the effect of these legislated mandates on agency behavior is
unpredictable due to the variety of circumstances surrounding risk assessments and the
legal consequences of EPA actions. For example, the validity of the
"weight-of-the-[scientific]-evidence" approach in practice depends on the
quality and comprehensiveness (or representativeness) of the data. Therefore, a legal
requirement to rely on the approach may be interpreted by scientists as a directive either
to base decisions on available data even if data are inadequate and misleading,
or to collect additional data to meet minimum data requirements, even if the aspect of the
risk assessment for which data are unavailable is unimportant to the risk analysis as a
whole or to significant regulatory or policy decisions. Such uncertainty is likely to lead
to legal challenges.
Should It Be Used to Compare Costs
and Environmental or Health Benefits?
Many policymakers want to use the results of risk analysis
and cost analysis to identify economically reasonable environmental management strategies.
Various decision criteria have been proposed for identifying such strategies, all of which
would require comparisons of the estimated costs and environmental or health benefits of
existing or proposed regulations and reasonable alternatives. However, proposals have
differed in whether they would have required 1) consideration of particular alternatives,
2) qualitative or quantitative analysis, and 3) comparisons of risks to costs for each
alternative, costs of one to costs of another, or risks of one to risks of another.
Different proposals also would provide EPA with different levels of discretion. S. 746, as reported in the
106th Congress, would require consideration of "flexible" regulatory
options, qualitative and quantitative costs and benefits, and comparisons of risks to
costs, costs to costs, and risks to risks of the alternatives. S. 2362, as introduced in
the 106th Congress, would require cost-benefit analysis of proposed air quality
standards and would authorize EPA to set a standard for which estimated benefits justify
costs.
Some critics of EPA assert that environmental regulations
adversely impact the national economy and international competitiveness of American
businesses. They want EPA to use cost-benefit analysis to identify less expensive
strategies to reduce only the greatest risks. Some would prohibit promulgation of
regulations expected to cost more than they save in economic terms (that is, that were not
expected to produce a net benefit) or that cost more than an alternative that would also
achieve the statutory objective. In contrast, proposals that advanced in the House and
Senate of the 104th Congress did not require regulators to base decisions on national net
benefits. Rather, they promoted adoption of "flexible," cost-effective
alternatives and authorized consideration of risks and costs borne by special segments of
the general population.
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (P.L. 104-4)
requires all agencies to select from a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives the
least costly, most cost-effective, or least burdensome alternative that achieves the
objectives of the rule and is consistent with law or to explain why such an alternative
was not adopted. In the 106th Congress, S. 746, as reported in the
106th Congress, would direct agencies for major environmental rules --
However, existing laws would still determine the degree to
which such cost-benefit comparisons could affect the choice of regulatory options.
Some people object to quantitative comparisons of costs
with the monetary value of benefits of environmental or health laws and regulations.
Whether they object on moral or ethical grounds or for scientific reasons, they want
benefits described in qualitative as well as quantitative terms. All the key proposals in
the 104th Congress, as well as S. 981, as reported in the
105th Congress, and S. 746, as reported in the
106th Congress, would permit or require qualitative descriptions of benefits as
well as costs. Because S.
981, as reported in the 105th Congress, required a determination about
"net benefits," some argued that it would have forced agencies to quantify
benefits. In the 106th Congress, language was added to S. 746, as reported, to
ensure analysis of qualitative benefits.
Critics of cost-benefit analysis argue that the process is
easily manipulated for political purposes, and that evidence of manipulation is easy to
conceal, especially from people who lack economic or scientific training. Moreover, the
quality of economic analyses varies widely, they believe, and most quantitative
cost-benefit analyses undervalue environmental and health benefits and exaggerate costs. A
recent study at Resources for the Future found that cost estimates for proposed
environmental and occupational safety rules more often over-estimated than under-estimated
costs. Economic analysts also tend to focus on relatively widespread but individually
small costs and risks rather than on much larger costs and risks to smaller, and often
more vulnerable, groups, critics charge.
Many of these concerns about the quality of cost-benefit
analyses might be addressed through peer review, oversight by OMB or another agency, or
other measures. OMB already is required by P.L. 104-208 to
assess costs and benefits for major federal regulations. H.R. 1074, as passed by
the House in the 106th Congress, would mandate OMB analysis of the costs,
benefits, and net benefits of major rules and alternatives for which costs and benefits
were considered in a regulatory impact analysis. S. 746, as reported in the
106th Congress, would require OMB oversight of rule making and peer review of
risk assessments with potentially significant policy impacts, including for major rules,
and of cost-benefit analyses for rules likely to have an annual effect on the economy of
at least $500 million. It also would require periodic OMB evaluations of the quality of
agencies' analyses and OMB development of guidelines for cost-benefit analysis, risk
analysis, and peer review. S.
746, as reported in the 106th Congress, also would require agencies to
develop their own detailed guidelines for risk and economic assessments. P.L. 106-312.
Another criticism aimed at proposals to require
cost-benefit analysis is that they would consume scarce EPA resources, sometimes to no
purpose, because some authorizing statutes do not permit EPA to consider costs. During
mark up of S. 981 on
March 10, 1998 in the 105th Congress, an amendment was defeated which would
have waived requirements if agencies did not have the resources required to perform
analyses and peer reviews.
Finally, many argue that cost-benefit analysis could delay
EPA's issuance of many regulations, and delays would mean that lives or habitats might be
irretrievably lost that could have been saved had the regulation been in effect. Thus, the
net benefit of regulating would be reduced, they claim. In addition, some fear that delays
will increase the cost of analysis if the Agency misses statutory or judicial deadlines
and environmental groups respond, as they often do, by filing lawsuits. S. 746, as reported in the
106th Congress, would extend statutory deadlines occurring within 2 years of
enactment for 6 months or until the requirements of the new law were satisfied. The bill
also would authorize agencies to request extension of court-ordered deadlines.
Should Priorities Be Based on
Relative Risks and Risk Reduction Opportunities?
The results of risk analysis also can be used to weigh the
relative need for various federal environmental programs. Some policymakers argue that
EPA, the states, and localities should prioritize expenditures based on relative
opportunity for risk reduction. In the 104th Congress, the Senate Appropriations
subcommittee with jurisdiction over EPA spending was particularly concerned about what it
described as EPA's refusal to identify activities that address the greatest risks.
Supported by the recommendations of a National Academy of Public Administration study, the
subcommittee directed EPA to determine its highest priorities and the funding needed to
address them. EPA maintained that it was working on setting priorities based on relative
risks, statutory and judicial deadlines, legal mandates, program costs and benefits and
other factors.
EPA's Science Advisory Board released a draft report
suggesting a new risk-based approach to making environmental decisions in April 1998. This
report on the SAB's Integrated Risk Project was prepared in response to a request from EPA
administrators for an update to the SAB 1990 relative risk report Reducing Risk.
For a summary of the draft report, see CRS Report 98-618, Environmental
Risk Analysis: A Review of Public Policy Issues.
Opponents of risk management based on relative risks and
risk reduction potential contend that comparative risk analysis is an unscientific, ad hoc
procedure that lends a false air of objectivity to the subjective judgments of scientists.
Opponents question whether an exercise that combines the diverse views of an
unrepresentative sample of government scientists to produce a single prioritized list of
hazards is more informative than a thorough recitation of the points on which scientists
with diverse viewpoints agree and disagree, such as may occur in a hearing or an advisory
committee. Critics argue that priority setting requires value judgments, and scientists
are no more qualified than others to decide whether, for example, the risk of a small
decrement in intelligence for 3 to 4 million children exposed to lead-based paint is more
or less significant than the risk of approximately 13,600 deaths annually from lung cancer
due to indoor levels of radon gas. It is even more difficult and less scientific to
compare ecological risks with risks to human health, these critics contend.
Others protest that risk-based prioritization focuses on
death or disease rates in the population as a whole, ignoring other equally important
issues, such as the feasibility of controlling a risk or the fairness of the result. All
means of risk reduction are not equally desirable, these critics contend, citing diverse
examples such as the wearing of a gas mask and modification of a production process to
reduce use of toxic chemicals. The nature of hazards also matters, according to some who
point out that risk is sometimes desirable, and many risks, such as driving a car or
skydiving, are taken voluntarily either for the benefits that may be obtained or for the
thrill of the experience. Priorities should be based on all relevant information about
hazards and available management options, not on risk alone, they argue. Since scientists
are expert only at determining probabilities, the public or its representatives should be
asked to contribute their expertise to the process of priority setting.
H.R. 3311, as
introduced, and S. 746,
as reported, in the 106th Congress, would require a comparative risk analysis,
a study of methodologies for comparing dissimilar risks, and recommendations on the use of
comparative risk analysis in setting priorities from an accredited scientific institution
under contract to OMB. This project would have to be conducted through an open process
providing peer review and opportunities for public participation.
The Information Value
of Risk Analysis
There appears to be general agreement that more information
is needed to inform decisions. Views diverge, however, regarding the type of information
needed and whether it would be best provided by risk analysis.
Key Factors Determining the Quality
of Information Provided
Under ideal conditions, a risk analysis gathers, organizes,
and summarizes all of the important information relevant to hazard management. It includes
qualitative as well as quantitative information about the characteristics of the hazard,
exposed population, potential effects, and available management strategies; describes
scientific uncertainties; and provides a range of forecasts based on alternative,
scientifically plausible assumptions about the relationship between exposure to the hazard
and potential health or environmental effects.
In practice, however, the type of information provided by
risk analysis varies from comprehensive to superficial, accurate to biased, and
quantitative to qualitative, because risk analysis is a field of inquiry rather than a
single method. Risk analysts use a variety of procedures and models adapted from other
fields of study such as sanitary and industrial engineering, psychology, economics,
sociology, statistics, and operations research. Methods developed for other purposes (for
example, to determine life insurance rates) sometimes are difficult to apply to, and may
be scientifically invalid for, environmental hazards.
A second consideration is that risk analysis is a tool for
evaluating what is known about things that cannot be known with certainty -- that is, it
is only used to describe the effects of hazards that are unpredictable due to their
natural randomness or a lack of scientific understanding of the principles that govern
their occurrence. Risk analysis always produces an estimate, never a prediction, and
estimates vary in quality. (Weather forecasts, for example, are relatively well-informed
risk estimates.) Thus, risk analysts can only discuss the likelihood of various outcomes
and, at best, may present risks as statistical probabilities. If there is no past
experience with a hazard, there is no basis for any forecast, much less a quantitative
estimate. If there is experience but no record to ensure accurate recall, risk estimates
are likely to be unreliable. H.R. 3311, as
introduced, and S. 746,
as reported, in the 106th Congress, would require agencies to report on the
uncertainties surrounding risk estimates.
Finally, sometimes risk analysis can provide no information
at all, even when data are abundant. Science cannot always explain complex or unusual
relationships between the exposures to hazards and the potential health and ecological
effects.
Quality of the Database
The quality of available data on exposure levels and
potential effects determines the quality of information that can be provided by a risk
analysis. The most effective way to improve risk assessment, the National Academy of
Sciences (NAS) has concluded, is to improve the quality and comprehensiveness of
knowledge. Data on human exposure to chemicals generally is acknowledged to be inadequate.
See, for example, Toxic Chemicals: Long-Term coordinated Strategy Needed to Measure
Exposures in Humans by the U.S. General Accounting Office (May 2000, GAO/HEHS-00-80).
H.R. 3448 in the
106th Congress aimed to improve collection and management of information about
environmental quality, which may be used to approximate human exposure.
The situation for toxicity data, which is needed to assess
potential human health effects of chemical exposures, was summarized in a report by the
U.S. Office of Technology Assessment (OTA). It estimated that 62,512 chemicals are in
commerce in the United States today, and another 1500 new chemicals enter the market
annually. Environmental experts believe that "good" data on health effects exist
for only 10% of commercial chemicals. In a 1995 report, OTA estimated that roughly 30,000
of the chemicals that have been in U.S. commerce since 1976 are polymers that present
little health risk. Another 25,000 are produced in low volume (less than 10,000 pounds per
year, including some chemicals which no longer are in production). There remain
approximately 15,000 chemicals produced in significant volumes. About 3 or 4 thousand
chemicals are produced in amounts greater than one million pounds per year. OTA reported,
"For perhaps thousands of these chemicals of potential concern, toxicity and exposure
data remain inadequate for risk assessment." Of course, many of these may be
harmless, but data are also inadequate for many chemicals Congress has deemed
"hazardous," according to NAS. NAS evaluated the availability of data for risk
analyses of 189 hazardous air pollutants and concluded EPA did not have "sufficient
data to assess fully the health risks ... within the time permitted by the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990" (Science and Judgment in Risk Assessment, 1994, National
Academy Press, Washington, p. 8-13). At least 12 federal agencies are currently conducting
health risk assessment research to fill the gaps in scientific understanding, but
according to OTA, their efforts are poorly coordinated and supported at a level that is
less than 0.5% of the cost of complying with EPA regulations. The data situation is much
worse for environmental effects.
The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) reported in 1997 on
research conducted to determine the adequacy of test data for chemicals produced in
amounts greater than one million pounds per year that have been identified as subjects of
regulatory attention. The adequacy of test data was determined based on the public availability
of the minimum screening information data set that was created by the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Chemicals Program in 1990. This data set is
adequate to perform preliminary assessment of the potential human health hazard of a
chemical, but does not provide sufficient data to conduct a comprehensive health risk
assessment, according to EDF. EDF drew a random sample of 100 chemicals and found that 71%
did not meet the OECD minimum data requirement. Most of the chemicals in the sample had
been tested for their ability to cause mutations (genetic toxicity) and developmental
toxicity, but there were no reproductive toxicity data for 53% of the chemicals. Most of
the chemicals had not been tested for any form of toxicity due to chronic exposure.
According to the authors of the study, the Chemical Manufacturers' Association (CMA)
independently concluded that only 53% of the chemicals lacked adequate public data, but
acknowledged that a key international chemical database had very recently become available
for public scrutiny. Critics of the EDF study, however, charged that up to three-fourths
of chemicals have been adequately evaluated.
EPA evaluated the availability of toxicity data for
industrial chemicals produced in high volumes and recently reported that there was a
complete set of health and environmental effects data for only 7%. There were no publicly
available data for 1,216 of the 2,863 chemicals evaluated by EPA. EPA and Vice President
Gore called on the chemical industry to produce data to fill the gaps at an EPA-estimated
total cost of $427 million. That cost represents about 0.2% of total annual sales of the
top 100 U.S. chemical companies, according to EPA. The chemical industry has supported the
voluntary high-production-volume (HPV) chemical testing initiative, but estimates the cost
could approach $765 million and place U.S. companies at a competitive disadvantage
internationally. More than 430 companies have publicly committed to make health and
environmental hazard data available on approximately 2,080 HPV chemicals by 2005. Animal
rights groups criticized early descriptions of the HPV testing initiative for garnering
information of dubious value and requiring laboratory experiments for thousands of
animals. EPA responded by examining alternative test methods that could reduce the number
of animals needed and reduce the pain and suffering of any animals employed. The Agency
produced guidance for companies responsible for chemical testing which should reduce
animal usage by 68 to 80 percent, according to EPA. On December 26, 2000, EPA published a
proposed rule that would require manufacturers and processors of 37 additional HPV
chemicals to conduct toxicity testing (65 Federal Register 81,657).
Risk Assessment Methods
Environmental risk assessment is a relatively new and
immature field; this is evident in the state of development of its analytic methods for
assessing exposure levels and their potential adverse effects. Current methods of
estimating human or ecological exposure levels generally focus on individual hazards
(e.g., arsenic or repetitive motions) and isolated incidents or constant long-term
exposures. Therefore, they inadequately account for common, real-life conditions, such as
fluctuating exposures to multiple hazards. The most developed and well established methods
of estimating potential adverse effects probably are those used to analyze acute human
health effects of high short-term risks (e.g., many occupational injuries). Methods also
are fairly well developed for assessing human cancer risks of chemicals, although gaps in
scientific understanding of cancer make these risk estimates very uncertain. These methods
evaluate and model the results of animal experiments and human studies to estimate cancer
risk due to exposure to individual chemicals. Due to the variety of models that may be
used, estimates of cancer risk usually vary widely. Methods to evaluate risks of other
health effects (such as impaired immunity, reproductive problems, or birth defects) are
less well established. Methods for ecological risk analysis are still primitive.
There are at least four ways to promote the development and
use of the best available methods for risk analysis: peer review, research and training,
oversight, and provision of guidelines. All four provisions were included in S. 746, as reported to the
Senate in the 106th Congress. Such methods help to ensure that risk assessments
are conducted consistently and are, therefore, more easily evaluated by independent
experts. However, they do not ensure that scientists will agree with the resulting risk
estimates. The NAS has identified at least 50 decisions required in conducting a cancer
risk assessment that cannot be made on a scientific basis. Thus, controversy grows from
the subjective judgments, the science policies, that make risk assessment possible and
from the high stakes that ride on risk estimates.
Legislative Activity
Legislation in the 106th Congress
The 106th Congress did not act on comprehensive
regulatory reform legislation or major provisions related to risk analysis by EPA. H.R. 3311, as
introduced, and S. 746,
as reported, in the 106th Congress, would have codified requirements for
cost-benefit analysis and risk assessment (currently required by executive order) and
executive oversight of rulemaking. In contrast to S. 746, as reported, H.R. 3311 would have
required no determination by an agency that compared costs and benefits, would not have
required evaluation of risks to subpopulations, would have more strongly encouraged
quantitative analysis, and would have defined more rules as major and allowed no
exceptions, and therefore would have required more analyses. The Thompson-Levin bill
(i.e., S. 746) was
similar to a bill that was reported in the 105th Congress, as it would have
been amended by an amendment proposed by President Clinton. More limited proposals (i.e., H.R. 199, H.R. 525, and S. 1112) also were
introduced, but few were acted upon. However, S. 1198 became P.L. 106-312 on
October 17, 2000. It, and if
funding for the project is appropriated. The consolidated FY2001 appropriations act (P.L. 106-554)
did not provide funding for the project.
Legislation in the 107th Congress
Prospects are unclear for comprehensive legislation in the
107th Congress that would increase use of risk analysis by EPA. No such
legislation has been proposed, but "unbiased" risk analysis would be required by
H.R. 324, a bill to
amend the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980
(i.e., Superfund). More limited proposals also have been introduced. S. 855 and S. 940 would use risk
analysis to protect vulnerable segments of the population.
LEGISLATION
H.R. 324 (Boehlert)
Recycle America's Land Act of 2001. Would require risk assessments conducted under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (i.e.,
Superfund) to be objective, unbiased, based on all reasonably available, relevant, and
reliable scientific and technical information and on an analysis of the weight of
scientific evidence supporting conclusions about potential risk to health and the
environment. Introduced January 31, 2001; referred to Committees on Energy and Commerce,
Transportation and Infrastructure, and Ways and Means.
S. 855 (Boxer)
Children's Environmental Protection Act. Amends the Toxic Substances Control Act to
establish U.S. policy of protecting "vulnerable subpopulations" that are likely
to experience special exposure to environmental pollutants or associated health effects.
Requires EPA to evaluate environmental health risks to vulnerable subpopulations
separately and to protect them by providing an adequate margin of safety and, if data are
lacking, at least a 10-fold safety factor. Prohibits use of some pesticides in schools and
daycare centers and requires parental notification of pesticide use. Also requires EPA to
identify pollutants common in areas frequented by children, to develop guidelines to
reduce exposure to such pollutants, and to list substances and products with suspected
health risks to children as well as safer alternatives. Mandates amendments to the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act Section 313 to require additional
reporting of emissions for certain persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic substances.
Introduced May 9, 2001; referred to Committee on Environment and Public Works.
S. 940 (Dodd)
Children's Environmental Protection and Right to Know Act. Amends the Emergency Planning
and Community Right-To-Know Act of 1986, Section 313, to require additional reporting of
environmental releases of certain persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic substances. Extends
reporting requirements to amounts of covered chemicals used as well as released and to all
industrial sectors that use or release toxic chemicals in volumes similar to the volumes
used in covered industries. Requires consolidation of all federal reporting requirements
for regulated industries. Amends the Federal Hazardous Substances Act to require EPA and
the Consumer Product Safety Commission to list substances toxic to children and require
new long and short-term strategies for chemical testing and risk assessment to ensure that
risks to children are fully understood. Requires manufacturers to report on products
containing substances toxic to children. Authorizes civil enforcement action. Establishes
a fund to receive penalties assessed as a result of civil action that may be used to fund
enforcement activities. Introduced May 23, 2001 as Title II, Subtitle E, of the Leave No
Child Behind Act of 2001; referred to Committee on Finance.

A storm is a violent meteorological phenomenon in which there is heavy rain, and wind due to moisture in the air. Hail and Lightning are also common in storms. More rarely, Tornadoes can occur in storms.
Hurricanes, typhoons, and tornadoes are, often, called storms too but they have special names because they are very, very strong. Storms are studied by scientists called meteorologists. The idea of shipping forecasts started with a concern to save ships from unexpected storms in the North Atlantic. A storm is associated with severe weather and may be marked by strong wind, thunder, lightning and heavy precipitation such as ice. Therefore, the knowledge of the weather condition is extremely important.
There are many varieties and names for storms: icestorm, blizzard, snowstorm, ocean-storm, firestorm, etc. The storms called thunderstorms develop in hot, humid tropical areas like Mexico very frequently. The rising temperatures produce strong upward rising winds. These winds carry water droplets upwards, where they freeze, and fall down again. The swift movement of the falling water droplets along with the rising air create lighting and sound.

William Oughtred 5 March 1574 - 30 June 1660) was an English mathematician and Anglican clergyman.
John Napier invented logarithms and Edmund Gunter created the logarithmic scales. Oughtred was the first to use two such scales. He slid one next to another to do direct multiplication and division. He is credited with inventing the slide rule in about 1622.
He also introduced the "x" multiplication sign and the abbreviations "sin" and "cos" for the sine and cosine functions. |
Haskill (Shivering Isles)
this wiki
- "You approach the Shivering Isles. Through the door behind me lies the realm of Sheogorath, Prince of Madness, Lord of the Never-There."
- ―Haskill[src]
Haskill is the chamberlain of Sheogorath. His voice is quite calm and he shows no obvious signs of madness.
InteractionsEdit
Haskill is the first person encountered on the Shivering Isles, and will ask if the Hero wishes to enter the Realm of Sheogorath. If this request is declined, the Door to Cyrodiil will be the only location accessible.
Later on, the Hero will be able to summon him for no cost to magicka (Haskill can only be summoned inside Sheogorath's Realm). While he will not aid the Hero in battle, he will offer information and help on quests (although he is frequently and easily annoyed by the Hero throughout the entire course of the Shivering Isles questline).
When the questline is finished, he will be a source of income via small missions that call for the Hero to defend the Isles, and as a purveyor of entertainment. Haskill cannot be harmed; weapons will go through him with no adverse effect, as with Sheogorath in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
QuotesEdit
TriviaEdit
- Haskill will appear at the Shrine of Sheogorath in Cyrodiil if the Shivering Isles main quest is completed.
- It is never revealed how Haskill came to be Lord Sheogorath's chamberlain.
- Whatever Haskill's true nature, if this interview with the character (written by Bethesda employees) is to be considered canon, he is not mortal. Also, according to the same source, Haskill seems to harbor a lot of resentment towards Molag Bal for unknown reasons.
- In this Loremaster's archive concerning Sheogorath, it appears that Haskill was once a human "mantled" by Sheogorath a long long time ago, back when Jyggalag existed. Haskill's memory of humanity is "hazy."
- He is voiced by Jeff Baker.
- Sheogorath mentions him during the quest The Mind of Madness in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
- He appears in The Elder Scrolls Online during the quests Long Lost Lore, Simply Misplaced and The Mad God's Bargain. The Vesitge first encounters him in Cheesemonger's Hollow. |

So this blogosphere...a new journey, a new project. I wanted to create a blog in hopes to inspire myself, and perhaps and few others, on how to adjust to life in the sticks.
I'm a city girl. I'm used to thriving in an urban environment. However, I also love my husband, and he has a great job in his hometown, which is difficult to get nowadays. I've been unemployed for a while now, and while Kenmare is a fabulous tourist destination, there's not much employment opportunity on offer. This isn't a pity-party blog - I'm determined to adapt and try to enjoy life here, after all, it looks like my husband and I won't be going anywhere for a while so I might as well get used it.
It's not all bad...I have a a dog to keep me company, my husband's family loves me, I have a nice house with cheap rent, and when it's not raining, it actually very pretty out here. I do have a lot to be thankful for.
Now, Just because I've been unemployed doesn't mean that I haven't kept busy. I've done courses in Business Studies and Payroll. I've taken up volunteer gardening at my local adult education centre. I'm constantly applying and searching for jobs, and applying for other courses. I might even go back to college one day. I'm learning how to cook, I'm going to create a garden, and with a little bit of inspiration and motivation, I might even get back into making art again. By the way, I'll try to stick to keeping my own photography on my blog. I hope to post on a weekly basis of my little adventures. Hopefully my life will be entertaining to others, and if anyone has any questions or comments for me, I'm happy to respond.
So I think I'll be the first to comment (on behalf of a relative) on my own post.
I got a wonderful comment via Facebook from my Aunt Vicky, who lives in Florida. I find it relevant to my own situation, and quite inspiring too. Hopefully it will inspire others as well. Here's what she had to say (paraphrased, but hopefully accurate and polite):
'We are 2 peas in a pod. I was unemployed in 2010. I was fortunate enough to acquire a river property, and now living in the country since April 2012. The 2 acres healed me spiritually and I am learning everyday things about myself that I never knew where there. I'm employed now, but learning a different industry and enjoying the people that live here.'
and this was my reply:
'That's inspiring...while I always knew that the Arts was never going to be lucrative, I thought my employment record (2 p/t jobs while attending f/t college) after graduation would stand to my advantage as many students in Ireland don't work during the academic year. Who knows, maybe it would have if Tom was in a position to move to Cork, instead of me moving to Kenmare. That's just the way it goes. I took several intern positions in the Arts, but no organization was prepared to keep me as a paid employee, and this is an ongoing issue within the Arts/Cultural sector. So I'm branching out with my business studies and my volunteer gardening and see where it takes me. I hope to learn more about myself.'
I think this really sums up what the purpose of what my blog is about. Discovering people in similar situations and seeing how they adapt. |

New LifeThe cliché “It was a dark and stormy night” doesn’t begin to describe the conditions the night Alexander Solomons died and I became the man you know. It happened in a hurricane—a typhoon, strictly speaking, since we were in the Indian Ocean—and I was a prisoner aboard a sinking pirate ship.
I didn’t conjure the hurricane. I did curse the ship and steal the only seaworthy lifeboat.
From my perilous position in the tiny craft I smiled as the ship went down with all hands, leaving no one to say who I had once been.

V(D)J is the basis of the vertebrate immune system. It makes antibodies.
All vertebrates have an adaptive immune system. This protects them against many infections and diseases caused by viruses and bacteria. V(D)J is the basic mechanism. The work is done by developing lymphocytes (B cells and T cells). They make the immune system adaptive. What this means is that the body is able to defend against many infections it has never met before, and the defence gets better against repeat attacks from the same agent.
The details are very complex. The system makes sequences of amino acids which bind on to the corresponding sequences of infective agents. The system also recognises "altered self cells" as seen in cancer.
Of course all systems have limits, so when the system fails to recognise a pathogen or cancer, we suffer the consequences.

I hope the rains stop so the water level goes down. This is disturbing. Thanks for sharing the photos, Maria.
how about the Donauinselfest?
..und es nimmt kein Ende, hier auch!
Immer wieder beginnt es zu regnen.
You have had a deluge! We are stil grateful for every drop we get and luckily we are harvesting some thunderstorms although it is the middle of winter.
That is amazing to see the water at such a high level. More like Venice than Vienna today.
Sorry about the flooding but the pictures were so interesting to me..hope it calms down and the rain goes away...the festival went on anyway.
a good tuesday to you maria...my goodness look at that flooding. hopefully no one was victim of it.
great captures.
I had no idea it could flood so much there. Nice photos.
OMG! This is awful flooding! I hope you guys are recovering. We have drought here. The plants are dying!
I like the play on Copa Cabana.
Hope the rains let up so the water can recede and life in that area return to normal.
Auf deinen Fotos schaut die Überschwemmung richtig romantisch aus. Ich bin heute noch bei der Floridsdorfer Brücke in ein Gatsch-Loch gestiegen. War nicht romantisch. ;-)
I enjoy looking through an article that can make people think.
Also, thank you for permitting me to comment!

Boris Godunov () is an opera by Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881). It was the only opera that Mussorgsky finished. It is his most famous work and one of the most famous of all Russian operas. It was composed between 1868 and 1873.
What the opera is about
The story of the opera is based on something that really happened in Russian history. The Russian people were ruled by a tsar (an emperor). The previous tsar Tsar Ivan IV was known as "Ivan the Terrible". He was terribly cruel and the Russian people suffered badly under his rule. They were hungry, they were tortured and killed. When he died his son became Tsar, but he was mentally retarded, so a group of powerful people including Boris Godunov had to rule for him. Ivan also had another son, but he disappeared. He was almost certainly murdered, and Boris Godunov, who wanted to become tsar himself, had probably ordered him to be murdered (for the sake of the opera, Mussorgsky assumes that he was indeed guilty of his murder). Then he persuaded the Russian people that they should choose him to be their tsar.
Some years later a young monk escapes from his monastery and pretends to be the murdered son of Ivan the Terrible. He gets a Polish army to help him to fight Boris Godunov. Boris Godunov feels terribly guilty about the murder. He suffers so much that he dies. The young monk arrives in Moscow and makes himself tsar (Tsar Dimitri II). The ordinary Russian people remain desperately poor. It is their fate to suffer, ruled by cruel tyrants.
How the opera was composed
The composer wrote the words (the libretto) himself. It was based on a play by Aleksandr Pushkin. Mussorgsky also read a famous book on the history of Russia: Nikolay Karamzin's History of the Russian State and used some of the historical material from this book.
Originally Mussorgsky composed the opera in 1869, but in those days it had to be approved by the censors before it was allowed to be performed. The opera was rejected by the censors. The main reason they gave was that there were no female characters in the opera. Mussorgsky made lots of changes, including adding a whole new act with Dimitry in love with a Polish princess. Another reason why the opera had been rejected was that composers and dramatists were not allowed to have the character of a tsar on stage. However, Tsar who then ruled said he did not mind, so the opera was first performed in 1874 in Saint Petersburg.
The opera Boris Godunov can either be performed in the first version of 1869, or in the second version of 1874. In fact performances of the opera have often been something of a mixture, as opera directors have often made cuts, or changes to the music or the order of scenes. The composers Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Dmitri Shostakovich have both made new editions of the opera in which they thought they could improve some of Mussorgsky's harmony or orchestration. For many years it was these editions that were usually performed. Nowadays people realize more and more that Mussorgsky's harmonies and orchestrations, which were very original for their time, were quite deliberate and very effective. Modern performances therefore often go back to what Mussorgsky originally wrote.
By the close of 1868, Mussorgsky had already started two operas, but never finished them These were Salammbo and Marriage, which was influenced by Alexander Dargomyzhsky's opera The Stone Guest. Mussorgsky was breaking away from the Romantic style that many composers used at the time. He had learned a lot by trying to write these operas and he used some of the musical ideas in Boris Godunov.
Vladimir Nikolsky, a professor of Russian history, suggested to Mussorgsky the idea of writing an opera about Boris Godunov, based on Pushkin's play. Mussorgsky worked very fast on the opera, finishing the vocal score (i.e. without the orchestration) in 9 months. During this time he was also working as a civil servant. When he state censor rejected the opera he worked another two years on it, adding a female role as required, and making other changes he felt necessary: adding three scenes, cutting one and changing another, adding songs for the Hostess, Fyodor and the Nurse. In 1873 three scenes were performed, and on 27 January 1874 the first performance of the whole opera took place. The conductor, Napravnik, was a good conductor, but he often made cuts in the operas he performed. He cut the whole of the Cell Scene because he thought the opera was too long. Nevertheless, it was a great success among many people, although some critics hated it. It was performed 21 times in Mussorgsky's lifetime.
Famous interpreters of the main role
During the early 20th century the Russian bass singer Fyodor Shalyapin was a very famous singer who often sang the role of Boris.
Roles
The story of the opera
The opera is divided into a prologue and 4 acts.
Setting
Time: The years 1598 to 1605
Place: Moscow; the Lithuanian frontier; a castle in Sandomierz; Kromi
Prologue
In the first scene of the prologue a large crowd has come to the courtyard of a monastery. Chelkalov comes and talks to the crowd. He tells them that Boris has not yet accepted the throne, but that they should pray that he will.
The second scene is the famous coronation scene. The crowd are kneeling in front of two cathedrals in the centre of Moscow. The church bells are ringing. The boyars cross the stage. Boris has agreed to be Tsar. Boris appears on stage, but he is rather gloomy. He tells the crowd to pray for guidance.
Act I
Scene i. This takes place five years later in a monastery. An old monk, Pimen is writing the history of Russia. He has nearly finished, and he has got to the year when the Tsar's son seems to have been murdered. He is reading what he has written to a young monk, Grigory. Grigory then has a dream. In the dream he is standing on top of a high tower and looks down on the people who are laughing at him. He feels guilty and falls from the tower. Pimen tries to comfort him. He says that Boris murdered the Tsar's son. Grigory learns that the Tsar's son, if he had still been alive, would have been the same age as he is now. He decides to pretend to be the Tsar's son and to claim the throne as his.
Scene ii takes place in an inn on the border of Russia with Lithuania. The hostess sings a silly song. Two monks, Varlaam and Missail, come in. Grigory is with them. He has run away from the monastery. The two wandering monks were showing him the way to the Lithuanian border. The two monks start to get drunk and sing. Grigory does not join in, his just sits there. Two guards (like policeman) appear. They are looking for Grigory because they know that the runaway monk is a going to be a threat to the Tsar. They have a description of the wanted man. They ask whether anyone can read (hardly anyone could read in those days, except monks). Dimitri says he can read, so he takes the piece of paper and starts to read the description of the wanted man. He is describing Varlaam. Varlaam realizes this and snatches the paper from him. He decides he can read after all. He starts to read a description of Dimitri. Dimitri escapes through the window.
Act II
The scene is the Tsar's apartments in the Kremlin in Moscow. The Tsarevich Fyodor is reading, his sister sings sadly a song about a man she loved who died before they could get married. The Nurse tries to comfort her. Fyodor tries to cheer her up by singing a jolly clapping song. The Nurse joins in. Then Boris comes in. He tells him to concentrate on his lesson. One day he will rule the country and he will need to be wise. Boris sings of his terrible feelings of doubt and agony (because he is guilty of murder). A boyar enters and tells Boris that Shuisky wants to speak to him. He warns Boris that Shuisky is on the side of the Poles who are against him. When Shuisky enters he tells Boris that a pretender has come who claims to be the Tsar's son who is thought to have been murdered. Boris asks Shuisky whether it really was the Tsar's son who was killed and buried. Shuisky says that it definitely was, and that he had watched over the body for five days. Boris cannot bear to hear any more and tells Shuisky to leave. He then sinks back in a chair. A clock chimes and the figures on the clock move. Boris thinks they are aghost of the murdered child. He goes mad.
Act III
The scene takes place in the royal palace in Poland. Dimitri has gone to Poland to persuade the Polish army to support him in his fight against Boris. The Poles are glad to do this because they often fought Russia when they thought they could take a bit of their land. They want the Polish Princess Marina to marry Dimitri (they think, of course, that he really is the Tsar's son Dimitri, they don't know that he is really a young monk called Grigory). Princess Marina sings of her love for Dimitri. She has not met him yet, but she would like to be Tsarina (the wife of the Tsar) because that would bring her power. Rangoni tells Dimitri that the Princess is in love with him. A meeting is arranged in the garden. Princess Marina is horrible to him. She persuades him to act quickly to get an army together to march to Moscow and get the throne. They embrace. Rangoni is pleased, because it will be a triumph for his church.
Act IV
Scene i takes place in the palace in the Kremlin. Shuisky tells the assembled noblemen that he saw Boris who seemed to be having a mad fit. He was shouting "Away! Away!" and waving his arms. Just at that moment Boris enters doing just that. He does not seem to notice any of the boyars who are standing there. Shuisky manages to persuade him to sit down on his throne. Shuisky then says that there is a holy man outside who has something to say to everyone. The man is let in. It is Pimen. He tells a strange story. It is about a shepherd who was blind. He had a dream in which he was told to go to the tomb where the murdered Tsar's son Dimitri lies buried. He went there and prayed. Immediately he was able to see. Boris becomes terribly distressed at this story. He calls for light, he collapses in the arms of the boyars, and he sends for his son Fyodor. Boris asks to be left alone with him. He then says goodbye to his son and tells him to take good care of the Russian people. Monks behind the scene pray for the soul of Boris. Boris dies.
Scene ii takes place in the forest of Kromy. Dimitri has marched into Russia leading his troops. The Russian people are starving and law and order has broken down. A very simple man (the Simpleton) sings a simple song. A group of children tease him and steal his money (just one kopek). Varlaam and Missail sing in praise of Dimitri. They point out two men who are Jesuits, and the people get ready to hang them. Dimitri enters and frees the Jesuits. The people rejoice because Dimitri is to be their new tsar. He tells the people to follow him to Moscow. All exit and the Simpleton is left alone on stage. He sings a simple song which expresses the sadness of the poor, hungry Russian people.
Order of the scenes in the last act
There has been a lot of discussion about the order of the two scenes in Act IV: scene i which shows the death of Boris and scene ii which shows the Russian people in the forest. The order given above is what Mussorgsky wanted. For him, the most important thing about the opera was to express the tragedy of the Russian people who are always doomed to be ruled by cruel tyrants.
When Rimsky-Korsakov edited the opera after Mussorgsky's death he put Boris's death scene last. Finishing the opera with Boris's death meant that the personal tragedy of Boris was the most important thing. Certainly, famous singers who sang the role of Boris, such as Chaliapin, liked the opera to finish with Boris's death. Nowadays the opera is nearly always performed with the forest scene finishing the opera. This was Mussorgsky's intention. It is about the tragedy of the people, and this is put into words by the Simpleton, who expresses the truth through his simple words.

Benny Goodman, born Benjamin David Goodman, (May 30, 1909 - June 13, 1986) was an American jazz musician who played the clarinet. He was called "The King of Swing", "Patriarch of the Clarinet", "The Professor", and "Swing's Senior Statesman".
Life
Early life
Goodman was the son of poor Jewish immigrants in Chicago, Illinois. They lived in Chicago's Maxwell Street neighborhood. He learned to play clarinet in a boys' band run by a charity. He became a strong clarinet player at an early age, and began playing professionally in bands while still wearing 'in short pants'.
Early influences
His early influences were New Orleans jazz clarinet players in Chicago such as Johnny Dodds, Leon Ropollo, and Jimmy Noone.
First band
Goodman joined one of Chicago's top bands, the Ben Pollack Orchestra, at the age of 16, He made his first recordings with them in 1926. He started making records under his own name two years later.
Later life
Goodman left for New York City. He became a good session musician during the late 1920s and early 1930s. He was known as a solid player because he was prepared and reliable. He played with the nationally known bands of Red Nichols, Isham Jones, and Ted Lewis. Then he formed his own band in 1932.
In 1934, he tried out for the "Let's Dance" radio program. Since he needed new charts every week for the show, his friend John Hammond suggested that he buy some jazz charts from Fletcher Henderson, who had New York's most popular African-American band in the 1920s and early 1930s. The combination of the Henderson charts, his strong clarinet playing, and his band that practiced well made him a rising star in the mid-30s.
Fame
He performed at the Palomar Ballroom in Los Angeles on August 21, 1935. Because of this show, he became known across the United States His radio broadcasts from New York were too late at night for many people on the East Coast to hear them, but Goodman had many fans in California, and a very excited crowd greeted Goodman. This got a lot of attention across the nation, and made the Goodman Band popular very fast. Some writers have said that this was the start of the Swing Era.
Loss of fame
Goodman continued his fast rise throughout the late 1930s with his big band, his trio and quartet, and a sextet. On January 16, 1938, his band made a famous appearance at Carnegie Hall. By the mid-1940s, big bands became less popular. Some reasons for this are that talented musicians were entering the military or getting better-paying factory jobs, gasoline and rubber rationing during WWII, two long musician recording strikes, and the rise of popular singers like Frank Sinatra.
Death
Goodman continued to play on records and in small groups. He would sometimes organize a new band and play in a jazz festival, or go on a tour, playing in other countries. He continued to play the clarinet until he died in 1986 in New York, New York.
Other projects
Goodman also helped racial integration in America. In the early 1930s, black and white jazz musicians could not play together in most clubs or concerts. In the Southern states, racial segregation was enforced by law. Benny Goodman broke with tradition by hiring Teddy Wilson to play with him and drummer Gene Krupa in the Benny Goodman Trio. In 1936, he added Lionel Hampton on vibes to form the Benny Goodman Quartet. Goodman was so famous that his band could afford to not go on tour in the southern states, where the people in his band might have been arrested because of their race. |

Monday Mobility – From the Hip Down
Welcome to another dose of Monday Mobility.
Today’s post is largely inspired by one of my lads, Sebastian. Seb is a motorcycle enthusiast and bit, shall we say “over-enthusiastic” about life.
About a year ago Seb and his enthusiastic motorcycle riding ended with a abrupt stop. The stop was provided by a lamp post.
Seb tore, ruptured and pretty much mullered everything in his knee. In surgery they had to rebuild his ACL, his PCL and his LCL ligaments. He was told by the Doctors that his BJJ career was over and he’d never regain full range of motion in the knee.
They were wrong.
They were wrong because thay didn’t know Seb and how determined he is. They also seemed unaware of the Alternating Joint Theory put forwards by Grey Cook and his team.
The Alternating Joint Theory is a simply model for looking at the joints and their function. It essentially states that they are laid out as follows:
Foot – Stability
Ankle – Mobility
Knee – Stability
Hip – Mobility
Lumbar region – Stability
Thoracic Region – Mobility
Scapular – Stability
Shoulder (Gleno-Humeral) – Mobility
Simple, elegant in fact.
It’s not perfect, but it gives a great start point for any coach to asses people with. You know that if a joint isn’t doing what the Theory says it should be, then the joint either above or below (sometimes both) has to take up the slack.
So in Seb’s case we had an extremely unstable knee, which meant were running the risk of losing the mobility of the hip and ankle, which would destabilise the foot and lumbar which would potentially cause gradually more and more problems. This would be unacceptable.
So the very first thing we did was to ensure we maintained as much mobility as possible within the mobile joints (yes, I know ALL joints are mobile, thats the point of having them, the ones that are immobile tend to be fused, think Skull & Coccyx). We also promoted stability in the knee joint.
I’ll address stability of the knee in another post dedicated to that, but right now I want to give you the method that I gave Seb to maintain mobility and tissue quality in his leg. This has also been used to great benefit by several more of my crew, all have benefited greatly.
You will need:
A small hard ball, such as a Sliothar, Lacross ball or similar.
A Foam / Rumble Roller
A Stretch Band
We start from the ground up:
Roll the sole of your foot with the ball. Concentrate on any sore points you find. [youtube=]
Foam Roll the calf, then stretch it. To stretch, simply put the ball of the foot on an elevation and push the heel towards the floor, maybe hook a strap around the ball of the foot while lying down and pull the toes upwards with it. Whatever style you use hold it for around a minute.
Roll the Quads, front, inside and outside. Look for sore spots and get right into them, use pressure.
Stretch the Quads. Here’s probably the best option available for stretching the quads:
[youtube=]
Roll the Glutes, then Stretch the Glutes. Noticing a theme here? Roll then stretch, roll then stretch. To roll the glutes simply sit on the roller, rock onto one cheek and put that same side foot on top of the opposite knee, so you make a figure 4 shape. It’s the same shape you’ll be stretching in:
[youtube=]
Activate the Glutes / Inhibit the Hip Flexors This is a great drill that I wish I’d invented but I didn’t, I stole it from Tom Furman so I’ll let him explain this one then I’ll give you a tweak for it:
This is where you need that stretch band, you want that band wrapped around just below your knees. Now as you bridge up, you also push out against the band. As the glutes are responsible for both the lifting (hip extension) and the pushing out (external rotation) we’re going to skyrocket the amount of tension we get and send far stronger signals to the hip flexors to shut down. You only need to hold the bridge with the band for about 30seconds at a time, but be sure to get at least three sets done of both exercises in an alternating fashion.
Seb has done this nearly every day, this allowed him to maintain the mobility in the hip and ankle while we concentrated on rebuilding the strength in the knee.
End result?
This:
Next weeks “Monday Mobility” I’ll discuss knee stability, as fitting the Alternating Joint theory.

The English Interregnum was the period of parliamentary and military rule in the land occupied by modern-day England and Wales after the English Civil War. It began with the execution of Charles I in 1649 and ended when Charles II became king, after Oliver Cromwell died in 1660.
This era in English history can be divided into four periods.
The first period of the Commonwealth of England from 1649 until 1653
The Protectorate under Oliver Cromwell from 1653 to 1658
The Protectorate under Richard Cromwell from 1658 to 1659
The second period of the Commonwealth of England from 1659 until 1660
Life during the Interregnum
Oliver Cromwell was a Puritan and during the Interregnum, he imposed a very strict form of Christianity upon the country. Although a main cause of the English Civil War was oppression under Charles I, England during the Interregnum became oppressive in its own fashion. Cromwell granted religious freedom otherwise previously unknown in England, but other forms of expression were suddenly limited (for instance, theatre, which had thrived under the Stuart kings and Elizabeth I, was banned). Cromwell also made certain that his own personal vision of Christianity was enforced upon the masses. Many of Cromwell's actions were called "harsh, unwise, and tyrannical" by some commentators.
His son and successor, Richard Cromwell gave up his position as Lord Protector with little hesitation, resigning or "abdicating" after a demand by the Rump Parliament. This was the beginning of a short period of restoration of the Commonwealth of England. |

Your time in university is an opportunity to grow as an individual through multiple social, and academic experiences. It’s no surprise that your academic journey is important, but you don’t necessarily have to remain on campus in order to be successful.
At Laurentian University, students have the opportunity to complete either a semester or a full year abroad. With more than 250 universities worldwide that are affiliated to Laurentian, students can really personalize their international experience. This experience of cultural diversity provides great enrichment for all students and is critical in preparing you for the realities of the global workforce.
Students are really changing their perception of globalization. They are now realizing that their academic experiences are a small piece of the bigger picture of living, studying and perhaps working or volunteering in a foreign country. The knowledge that you will gain via their experience is truly invaluable as it helps share ideas, and fosters care and understanding of different cultures and ones own beliefs. Furthermore, those who participate on an exchange also become ambassadors for Laurentian University worldwide.
When students ask me about traveling abroad during their studies, I always encourage them to do it and to declare their interest in their first year. At Laurentian, students can travel abroad during the second or third year of their undergraduate degree therefore the first year of their studies is a perfect time to begin the process. Rest assured that you receive a lot of support throughout this process with the Laurentian University Global Opportunities (LUGO) office.
Here are a couple of helpful tips from Marika Robillard who completed an exchange at the University of Udine in Northern Italy.
If you have any further questions regarding your interest in traveling abroad during your studies at Laurentian University, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
See you on campus!

WHAT’S Vaping and SO HOW EXACTLY DOES It Work?
Precisely what is E-Cigarette? An electronic cigarette is really a modern electronic device which behaves like tobacco cigarettes. It usually consists of a battery, an atomizer, and a tank or cylinder like a cartridge. Instead of tobacco, in E Cigarettes, the user inhales vap instead. Therefore, using an E Cigarette vapinger is frequently described as “vaping.” The truth that the actual act of smoking is not needed for “smoking” the merchandise itself may also help to explain the relative safety of this product.
Vaporizing, as mentioned above, is a way of consuming E-Cigarettes. But many people are not aware that it may also be called “smoking” in many cases. Because vapors are not exhaled, you don’t have to breathe in smoke to enjoy vapor. Also, because they usually do not contain any nicotine, E-Cigarettes are considered significantly electric cigarette before locating the entire experience to be very appealing.
Nicotine is really a highly addictive stimulant that may damage both the nervous system and the center. For this reason, quitting smoking using any method is extremely important for the entire health of the individual. But although nicotine replacement therapies have proven very effective, they might be quite difficult to stick to, especially if a smoker has become accustomed to the taste of his or her cigarettes. But using what is vaporizing, this is simply not an issue.
One of many reasons why a person would want to try what’s vaporizing is that it lacks the dangerous effects of smoking on your body. By inhaling only the liquid mist from an electric cigarette, no smoke is ever breathed in by the individual. This makes the process safe for children, teens, and adults to use. It is also much less expensive than utilizing a patch, spray, or gum. Therefore, many individuals who are attempting to quit smoking find that what’s vaporizing is the best option for them.
What is vaporizing? Vaporizing is the mixing of distilled water with a higher percentage of vaporized chemicals. Using this method, the chemical reactions create a highly concentrated solution of nicotine. This solution could be added to a number of different liquids including pop and water flavors, and the liquid solution could be inhaled as being a cigarette. What is truly unique about this type of smoking alternative is that the amount of nicotine present in the finished product is quite low.
One thing to keep in mind about what is vaporizing is that it will not increase someone’s cancer risk. Among the major issues with smoking is that it damages the lungs as time passes and may even cause death. Nicotine is among the most damaging chemicals known to man, meaning that vapors released through what is vaporizing does not have this kind of damaging affect. What’s majoring is also considered one of the healthier methods of smoking. Many people who try what is vaporizing often report that their lung conditions improve after the first few tries.
What is vaporizing? It’s not only a great option to regular cigarettes along with other tobacco products, it is also a great alternative to prescription drugs that help treat ailments in the lungs and throat. For many individuals who suffer from asthma or COPD, what’s vaporizing can provide a substantial benefit to their lives. Using what is vaporizing instead of regular cigarettes provides them having an even lower risk of developing health issues connected with tobacco. Many e-cigarette companies are taking notice of the growing popularity of what’s vaporizing and producing products that can replicate the feel of what’s smoking without all the harmful chemicals. With all the health benefits of what’s vaporizing, there really is no reason not to test it out for. |

Some climate scientists revised their models this month. Taking account of recent data, they discovered that your children will still probably die a horrible death due to climate change and its consequences; just not quite as quickly as had been thought.
How this new research was reported says a great deal about why your children and grandchildren are simply ‘the walking dead.’ In Britain, our tackiest tabloid rag set the tone:
“How scientists got their global warming sums wrong —.”
Does that mean we are all saved then? Was it all a big hoax aimed at selling windmills and solar panels? Not quite. As a more sober article by Sean Morrison at the Evening Standard reports:
“The new research in the journal Nature Geoscience suggests the world could be polluted and warm up less quickly than 10-year-old forecasts show…
“But Mark Maslin, professor of climatology at UCL, told the Standard this projection is based on the assumption that every country ‘does absolutely everything in its power’ to combat climate change.”
Given the recent actions of the president of the most polluting country on the planet, it is quite clear that far from doing everything in our power to combat climate change, we are actually doing very little. Indeed, even supposedly ‘green’ Germany – which has installed massive wind capacity – is emitting more carbon dioxide.
In any case, even if we were doing everything we could, as Morrison’s article points out:
“The point is that, whereas the indications have been up until now that limiting average global warming to 1.5C was nigh on impossible, the new analysis shows that if global actions are intensified, the limit could still be – just about – feasible.”
For all of the hysteria in the UK tabloid coverage, the debate in the UK is sober and considered in contrast for what counts as a discussion in the USA where perhaps two-thirds of media stories simply deny the existence of climate change, and where research papers of this kind are latched onto as ‘proof’ that the whole thing is a Chinese conspiracy designed to destroy jobs.
The deeper problem, however, is that even those of us who acknowledge the threat of climate change are not going to do anything serious about it. We may rail against Donald Trump for the scientific illiteracy of his climate change denial. But the really tough decisions that might just save the day – having fewer children, ditching cars, banning air travel and switching to a meat-free diet – are politically toxic. Instead we mouth climate-friendly platitudes while continuing with business as usual while hoping someone will discover some entirely clean new energy source that defies the laws of physics.
But nature doesn’t care about our green virtue signalling. The calculation is straightforward. We add greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and the planet warms. If we keep doing it, we will destroy our habitat. The planet will still be here. Life will carry on. It is merely us humans who will have disappeared. After that, nobody is going to be applauding pro-climate memes, political speeches or movies. As the latest row shows, action – unpleasant, politically unpopular, economically devastating action – is all that matters. But action is the one thing neither left nor right, liberals or conservatives are prepared to contemplate. |

There are so many Ma La Xiang Guo (Spicy Numbing Stir Fry/ Fragrant Hot Pot) stalls all over Singapore and the newest one opened by 山鸡哥 (Shan Ji Ge) in Koufu at Cineleisure might seem like just another Fragrant Hot Pot.
For those unfamiliar with Fragrant Hot Pot, you can customize the Ma La (麻辣) dishes to your liking, by choosing your own ingredients and choosing your preferred level of spiciness. The spiciness levels range from “small” (least) spicy to “big” (extremely) spicy. A wide selection of steamboat ingredients are displayed next to the cashier for customers to choose. The ingredients are then weighted and you pay accordingly.
Unbeknownst to many, Shan Ji was the first to bring the Fragrant Hot Pot into Singapore in 2009. A popular dish in China, Shan Ji worked at the 313 Somerset Food Republic, catering this Chinese dish to suit the Singaporean taste bud.
Armed with his own secret recipe – he makes his own Ma La sauce using over 30 types of herbs and ingredients – Shan Ji decided to open his own store. According to Shan Ji, the spices in the Ma La sauce are mixed together so that it’s a lot easier to eat.
We tried the Ma La soup with noodles (medium spiciness) and the dry Ma La with rice, and chose ingredients such as fish, enoki mushrooms and pork fillet.
We loved the dry Ma La dish. Our faces were burning, but it was so worth it. The Ma La sauce was flavourful and had a strong taste of spices. It was a huge bowl but we finished it.
The two month old store also offers non-spicy food to suit different tastes. We tried their non-spicy pork bone soup, which was really rich and clear. We could distinctly taste the pork bone and pepper in the soup.
Shan Ji Fragrant Hot Pot uses pork bones from Spain instead of those from Indonesia. According to them, they boil the pork bones whole so that the soup would be sweeter.
They also offer claypot and fried rice dishes. Right now, they have an ongoing promotion where you get a discount every $10 you spend.

I know who dunnit and I know how he dunnit and I know why he dunnit and I know who catches him, but I don't know how my wily detective duo catches him (or her)--what mistake has this evil-doer made that will lead my intrepid team to bring him to justice. This is where a good sit-down bull session with one of my kind coconspirators comes in.
Now kids, adult substances are not at all helpful to anyone in any creative endeavor, they produce torpor and a false sense of awareness, but they are often useful as lubricant in a brainstorming session that can solve problems that come up in the plotting of a book or movie. Writing is a lonely pursuit, but coconspirators can lead the way out of a corner that the writer's plotting has painted him into. (Yes, I am aware of that grammatical mistake, Catherine ((my editor)).

Climate Fight Hit by Global Slowdown, Russia Fears
Date: 01-Sep-08
Country: UK
Author: Jeremy Lovell and Gerard Wynn
Added to the mix -- politicians are faced with a rising clamour of complaints from voters over record fuel bills, and racing gas and oil prices have sparked new interest in high-carbon coal as well as cleaner alternatives.
"A few years ago it was all about climate change. Now energy security has come up too. The problems arise when the two come into conflict," said Michael Grubb, chief economist at the Carbon Trust think-tank.
Ensuring energy security can clash with the fight against climate change. In particular, the cheapest, most available energy source is coal, which also emits the most greenhouse gases when burned to generate electricity.
The sight two weeks ago of Russian tanks rolling into Georgia, a key energy transit route to Western Europe, has raised anxieties about Europe's dependence on Russia for a quarter of its natural gas and thrown a spotlight on alternatives such as coal, wind and nuclear.
Poland said last week that the Russia-Georgia dispute had made gas a less attractive source of electricity.
"The key issues are now defined by what are coherent responses to these twin concerns," said Grubb. "Where there are conflicts it would be dumb to do something which is entirely one at the expense of the other. But there are signs of a drift in that direction," he told Reuters.
That shift has alarmed environmentalists who have also accused European Union lawmakers of weakening emissions curbs from cars and planes.
"There is clear evidence of backsliding. It is our job to make sure they don't. This is no time for short-term expediency," said WWF's UK chief executive David Nussbaum.
US presidential nominee Barack Obama on Thursday promised to invest US$150 billion over the next decade to develop affordable, renewable energy sources, touting that as a long-term energy solution rather than new offshore oil drilling.
TANKS
Climate policies add to the cost of producing electricity, through taxes or penalties on carbon emissions, and guaranteed higher prices for more expensive solar and wind power.
Utilities pass these costs on to consumers. Industry and household fuel bills are already at record levels as a result of racing oil prices.
The trick is to balance the three issues of climate change, energy security and fuel poverty, said Welsh socialist MEP Eluned Morgan, who is guiding legislation to liberalise EU power markets through the European Parliament.
"Until very recently, climate change has been top of the agenda, but with issues in Georgia and increasing energy prices due to increased global demand, security of supply will come more to the forefront," she said.
British Business Secretary John Hutton, whose brief covers energy, told a British newspaper this week that the "first and foremost" energy priority was providing affordable and secure supplies, not climate change.
"We cannot afford to say no to new coal, new gas or new nuclear," he told the Daily Telegraph in an interview.
Hutton added that gas-rich Russia's brief war with Georgia and unilateral recognition of two breakaway regions highlighted the need for energy importing nations to reduce their dependence on single and unpredictable suppliers.
European parliamentarians urged caution on draft EU rules to slash the bloc's greenhouse gas emissions by up to a third by 2020, in proposals seen by Reuters on Thursday.
The EU Industry Committee members were also considering amendments to the EU's flagship Emission Trading Scheme so it had less impact on the energy bills of industries operating in global markets like steel.
A renewable energy industry which just months ago was celebrating a rocketing oil price, because that sparked more interest in energy alternatives, now sees resulting high fuel bills as a threat to climate policies and wind, solar subsidies.
In Accra, Ghana, the United Nations this week expressed optimism that agreement on a new global climate treaty would be reached in Copenhagen end-2009, on time, despite an economic slowdown and the collapse of world trade talks in July.
"Governments are very committed to this process. I feel sure that the train will reach Copenhagen as planned," said Yvo de Boer, head of the UN Climate Change Secretariat.
But chief US climate negotiator Harlan Watson said that the slowing economy would hinder efforts by either Obama or Republican rival John McCain to do more on climate change.
"Anything that raises the price of electricity is going to be a political problem," he told Reuters in Accra.

Tree ferns are a large group of ferns with tree-like form. They are part of a subclass of ferns which is monophyletic by DNA sequence analysis.
The tree-ferns and some other ferns with creeping rhizome stems make up the Cyatheales group of ferns (as a sub-class or order). The tree-like habit has evolved a number of times in this group. They can grow up to 20 metres tall, with their large fronds at the top. Many are much shorter, however.
The coal forests of the Lower Jurassic were mainly formed by tree ferns and cycads. Tree ferns were probably food for Ankylosaurs in the Upper Jurassic, as were cycads.
Tree ferns are found growing in tropical and subtropical areas as well as temperate rainforests in Australia, New Zealand, and other island groups nearby. A few genera extend further, such as Culcita in southern Europe. Like all ferns, tree ferns reproduce by means of spores developed in sporangia on the undersides of the fronds. The fronds of tree ferns are usually very large, and multiple-divided fronds. The young fronds of ferns emerge in coils that uncurl as they grow.
Unlike flowering plants, tree ferns do not form new woody tissue in their trunk as they grow. Rather, the trunk is supported by a fibrous mass of roots that expands as the tree fern grows.
It is not certain how many species of tree fern there are but it is likely to be around a thousand. New species are discovered in New Guinea with each botanical survey. Many species must have become extinct in the last century as forest habitats were cut down. |
From "Too much is not enough" to Minimalist
I could see it coming. Christmas is to blame, I think.
There is always so much color
I've been painting simple plates
The kind that only take ten minutes to paint.
See the Ladybugs?
Less than an hour to paint but almost 20 hours to fire and cool.
So, what do you think? Should I go back to my Gypsy Ways?
Love to you All, my Dear Blogging Friends,
Gina
Hi, Gina! Here's what I think: you should market these plates through very high-end department stores, and I would start at Neiman-Marcus. You have an idea that is both charming and sophisticated, and I think it should be marketed in a big way!
I simply could not choose - I love all of your work - it is stunning.
Ladybugs? what's not to love?
I think you are right on trend!
I recently purchased a serving bowl to use at Christmas that was pure white with just a very little bit of decoration (beading on the edge of the top) because it was just so pure and clean-looking.
Spot on!
Mary in Oregon
Gina, I agree with Mark that these minimal pieces with those enticing little glimpses of ladybugs would find a warm welcome at N-M.
(All the same, I love the gypsy OTT designs where color and patterns dance all over their ceramic canvas. Thank you also for your reply to my prior comment. I would love to seek out a place to try my own hand. Perhaps some day I might be lucky enough to have you as a teacher!)
Best wishes.
Hello, I simply wanted to take time to make a comment and say I have really enjoyed reading your site.
Welcome to my blog [url=]investment advisor[/url].
Love these, Gina! Very elegant and stylish. But I do love your gypsy ways. :)

Dear Mark, I am so flattered that you like my new design. If I were younger I would go for it because these simple designs are so easy to paint. Instead, I will paint a few more and see how they go in our Annual Heritage Days Celebration Sale.
Dear Rosemary, If you all knew how very easy it is to paint your own dishes, you would go to work immediately. There are studious everywhere who will halp you get started.
Hi German Gems, Ladybugs and bees are my best sellers. They're easy to paint and they appeal to almost everyone.
Hi Mary, I think you're right...need to also include a few simple ideas.
Please send some of your snow our way.
Hi Frances, I like your comment "color dancing all over ceramics".
Maybe, one day, you will come this way and we can paint up a storm.
Hello Anonymous, So glad you stopped by. Thank you for your nice compliment. It is very much appreciated. Gina
Dear Georgianna, I'm thinking that you should definitely consider teaching your photography workshop to help us novices become better at picture taking.
And thank you also for your lovely compliment. Gina
Oh Gina I love these new designs...but I like the more traditional ones too...so for me a mix of the two is just about perfect!
Jermaine
They are nice but.... I love the more traditional stuff!!!! Just keep painting!
Love what you are doing with the blog man!
Hi Jermaine, A mix is always a good idea. That way the person painting doesnt get bored.
Dear Theresa, I lean more towards the traditional stuff myself. Maybe i will try an in-between idea next.
Hey Man, thanks for the compliment. Come visit again. |

I had a totally random thought the other day when I was talking with a fellow concert fan. My thought was related to my discovery during a Matisyahu concert when I saw a fan create a fantastic invention.
Ever since I saw this periscope at the Matisyahu concert last year I’ve told so many people how great it was. And this week I was surfing through MAKEZINE.com and digging back to 2008 to check out other cool DIY inventions like the DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist’s ESPN-style MIDI camera set up.
My dig through the past on MAKE got me thinking about how cool it would be to build on the periscope idea and make some sort of helmet or shoulder holster for the periscope so you could rest the device on your shoulder and free up your hands to do other things and keep your arms from getting tired and your eyes focused on the stage.
Think that’s a good idea? Do you have any other ideas that build on cool inventions you’ve seen other concert fans create? I’d love to hear them. Let’s invent, create and swap ideas in the comments below.

What Should You Do if You’re Under Immense Stress?
Let’s face it: 2020 has been uncommonly stressful. Between COVID-19, the U.S. election, lockdowns, riots, and postal service delays, it’s hardly been a relaxing year. Americans have been profoundly impacted by stress this year and, according to the American Psychological Association, the U.S. is facing a mental health crisis. It’s more important than ever to take care of ourselves and practice some holistic wellness.
The Lowdown on Stress
Nearly 19% of the United States population reports having worse mental health this year than in previous years. With the amount of stress we’ve all faced this year, it’s no surprise. But how exactly does stress impact mental health?
Stress by itself isn’t a psychological diagnosis. However, it can cause mental health problems and exacerbate existing problems. When you experience stress, your body releases the hormones cortisol and adrenaline that are prevalent during what is called the “fight, flight, or freeze” response. Your heartbeat may become more rapid, your muscles tighten, and your blood pressure rises. This response was beneficial back in the days when humans had to run away from bears and wolves, but even all those millennia ago, it was a short term solution.
Today, our bodies and brains can’t differentiate between a deadline at work or the uncertainty of a global pandemic and the immediate danger of a bear. Under chronic stress, your body’s emergency system is constantly on high alert. This can suppress your immune system, cause aches and pains, sleep problems, digestive problems, depression or anxiety, and cognition problems. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to mitigate the negative impacts of stress.
Establishing a Routine
Believe it or not, but the sudden lack of structure that we’ve all faced in the face of COVID-19 is highly stressful. One way you can reduce your daily stress is to create a routine. A regular routine helps you feel productive, focused and centered. Create a routine that adds structure and an element of predictability to your life. Pick a specific time to wake up and eat breakfast. Decide which days you’re going to exercise and when that will happen. Set up times to speak with friends over Zoom or on the phone. Most of all, set aside time every day for activities that you love.
Taking Care of Yourself
Depending on where you are in the United States, your local salon and spa may or may not be open. If you’re in a state where salon and spa services are available, take full advantage of these. Hairstylists and aestheticians offer a feeling of wellbeing and peace of mind just by providing their services. Spas and salons are, even in the time of COVID-19, places of social belonging. Treating yourself to spa services may be just what you need to decrease the impacts of stress.
In addition, spas are particularly safe. The use of treatment rooms at spas and spa resorts limit your interactions with other patrons. You’ll be alone with an aesthetician, who will be wearing a mask. Gift yourself a few sessions with massage therapists over the coming months. A facial massage coupled with a spa treatment such as a facial or body treatment will certainly help to relax you. Look for a spa that specializes in total wellness and offers signature treatments, as well. You’ll find that these spas are particularly well equipped to help address your chronic stress.
Getting Some Sleep
Getting enough sleep is necessary to reduce stress. Sleep helps to restore your body, improves your concentration, and regulates your mood. Unfortunately, in an unfortunate twist, stress can disrupt your sleep cycle. In order to get enough sleep, even while dealing with stress, you can incorporate some bedtime rituals that will help relax you. Applying essential oil-infused balms, drinking wellness teas, and taking a warm shower before sleep can help. Most importantly, though, you should make sure you have a supportive mattress. When finding a new mattress, search through consumer’s digest and read mattress manufacturers’ reviews. You’ll likely find that Serta products have particularly good reviews. A Serta mattress utilizes innerspring technology to provide maximum support while you sleep. The iComfort, in particular, is an excellent option especially if you want a memory foam mattress that doesn’t cause you to overheat!
2020 has been a challenge for us all. We’ve all been challenged and stressed out like never before. Make sure you’re able to face 2021 refreshed and rested by following these simple suggestions. |

ITV3 is a free television channel in the United Kingdom. It is owned by ITV Digital Channels, a part of ITV plc. The channel started on 1 November 2004. It is the most popular TV channel in the UK, other than the main five channels. The channel plays British dramas such as Agatha Christie's Poirot, Classic Coronation Street, Classic Emmerdale, Heartbeat, Wycliffe, A Family at War, Where the Heart Is and Inspector Morse. Most of these were first broadcast on ITV. |
Given the fact that the fourth game in the series is.
According to Ripten, who say their source spotted "the game on a certain pre-release network", Metal Gear Solid could in fact be on the way to an XBLA release. If their source is to be believed, the game appearing on PartnerNet is almost a guarantee that it will see release at some point (though sometimes many months later, as was the case with Ikaruga.) While the Xbox isn't traditionally the home of the series, a port of the second game did find its way there, so perhaps a port of the first isn't so out of the question after all.

The Centre for Conflict and Peace Studies (abbreviated CAPS) is an independent research organization, which started in July 2006. Its office is in Kabul, Afghanistan. This office is a research centre, which means that it is an important place where people can do independent research.
Most of CAPS' research is about governance, security, and developmental challenges (difficulties) in Afghanistan.
Most research centres in Afghanistan have foreign - non-Afghan - workers, but the people who work at CAPS are from Afghanistan. CAPS is a place where people can discuss ways to change Afghanistan. The workers from CAPS tell other Afghan people about their research. They also discuss their research with people from other countries. When people from other countries come to Afghanistan to work, they can learn how to live in Afghanistan from CAPS. |
Anybody can be infected with the coronavirus. As we continue to learn more about this disease, it becomes clearer that some people are more vulnerable to severe illness than others including those who are obese or overweight.
Obesity is known as a disruption of energy balance which leads to metabolic disturbances and weight gain that causes tissue dysfunction and stress. This means that being obese is not just being overweight but the adverse effect it has on the individual’s health. One of the adverse effects is a disruption in the function of the immune system called neutrophil line and lymphoid. These can state infection from normal tissue that it needs to be kept in a cautious balance. Through these, they will be able to keep the immune system healthy.
Obese people will also be at increased risk of severe complications. It may be hard, but obesity tends to be the second biggest risk factor after the age when it comes to developing serious complications of COVID-19.
If you are overweight, you are carrying more fat. The less fit you are, the lower your lung capacity is. This means that it is a great struggle to get oxygen around the body and into the blood. It also impacts the heart and the flow of the blood. People who are overweight have a demand for more oxygen. Infections such as coronavirus, this might be serious. An obese body might be overwhelmed by the shortage of oxygen receiving to the major organs. That is one of the reasons why being obese is more likely to need assistance with breathing. One of the symptoms of coronavirus disease is shortness of breath.
The best way is to exercise regularly, eat healthily, and have a balanced diet. Try to eat slowly and avoid situations where you could be tempted to overeat.
Eating a healthy and balanced diet is an important part of maintaining good health. It can also help you feel at your best. You may follow these tips:
The fundamental key to a healthy diet is to eat the exact quantity of calories. If you eat or drink more than your body needs, you will put on weight because the energy you do not use is stored as fat. You should eat a wide range of foods to make sure you are getting a balanced diet and your body is getting all the nutrients it needs. |

Abstract
We report the case of a 37-year-old female patient who required 22 surgeries following a pedestrian versus car accident. She was enrolled in a clinical study investigating emergence from anesthesia. In 10 of her 22 surgeries, we assessed her cognitive status in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) using the Confusion Assessment Method. We observed PACU delirium in all 4 cases in which the patient received sevoflurane, but only in 1 of 6 cases in which she received propofol. The patient showed EEG α-band activity similar to that of an elderly patient who may reflect a greater risk of PACU delirium. |

This post was written by the Experimental Mommy. While a sample was received to facilitate this review, all opinions remain 100% honest.
It’s been quite a rough winter for some so it is no coincidence that I heard a collective sigh of relief on this First Day of Spring. If you are like me, you are ready to switch out the sweaters and boots for tank tops and sandals. But after taking a look at my Spring wardrobe and accessories, I realized I am in need of a major overhaul.
As a longtime Shoebuy.com customer, I headed to their blog to check out the latest trends for Spring. I absolutely love pastel flats to add a fresh feel to your outfit or a pair of cutout sandals perfect for the many outdoor festivals here in New Orleans. After a bit of window shopping, I headed to the running shoes because I will be doing my first ever RunDisney event in April at Disneyland!
So the race is only two miles, but it is a big deal for this non-runner. Thankfully, Shoebuy.com has tons of running shoes from some of my favorite brands such as Sketchers, ASICS, and New Balance. After careful consideration, I selected a pair of ASICS Gel-Storm 2 in black and turquoise.
Ordering was very easy and my shoes arrived at lightening speed. Ready for training, I put on my new shoes. The fit is true to size and they are very comfortable. I can definitely tell the difference when running on the track between the ASICS and my old, worn out sneaker.

The City of Austin Air Quality Program's.
The primary air quality concern in Austin is ground-level ozone, which is the main component of smog. Ozone forms when nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) combine and "cook" in the sun. Vehicle engines, electric generation units, industrial facilities and many everyday activities create man-made sources of NOx and VOCs. Unhealthy levels of ozone can lead to increased respiratory ailments, especially in young children, the older adults, asthma sufferers, and those with chronic conditions. Elevated levels of ozone can also damage vegetation and structure facades. Regional data confirms that automobiles, account for nearly 50% of ozone-forming emissions released within Central Texas. The Air Quality Program encourages everyone take action by at least once a week selecting an alternative to driving alone to work, such as carpooling.
For more detailed information about ground-level ozone, visit AirCentralTexas.org.

Kazakhstan is a landlocked country in the middle of Eurasia. Its official name is the Republic of Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan is the ninth biggest country in the world, and it is also the biggest landlocked country in the world. Before the end of the Soviet Union, it was called "Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic". The president of the country from 1991 through March 2019 was Nursultan Nazarbayev. Astana is the capital city of Kazakhstan. Almaty was the capital until 1998, when it moved to Astana.
The Kazakh language, which is a Turkic language, is the native language, but Russian has equal official status for all administrative and institutional purposes. Islam is the largest religion- about 70% of the population are Muslims, with Christianity practiced by 26%; Russia leases (rents) the land for the Baikonur Cosmodrome (site of Russian spacecraft launches) from Kazakhstan.
Geography
Kazakhstan is a transcontinental country mostly in Asia with a small western part across the Ural River in Europe. It has borders with the Russian Federation in the north and west, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in the southwest, and China in the far east. The northern border is mostly with Siberia, Russia, so Russia has the longest border with Kazakhstan. Basically, Kazakhstan runs from the Caspian Sea in the west to the mainly Muslim Chinese autonomous region of Xinjiang.
Kazakhstan has no ocean shoreline, but borders the Caspian Sea, which boats use to get to neighboring countries. The Caspian Sea is an Endorheic basin without connections to any ocean.
Natural resources
Kazakhstan has plenty of petroleum, natural gas, and mining. It attracted over $40 billion in foreign investment since 1993 and accounts for some 57% of the nation's industrial output. According to some estimates, Kazakhstan has the second largest uranium, chromium, lead, and zinc reserves, the third largest manganese reserves, the fifth largest copper reserves, and ranks in the top ten for coal, iron, and gold. It is also an exporter of diamonds. Kazakhstan has the 11th largest proven reserves of both petroleum and natural gas.
Regions
Kazakhstan is divided into 14 regions. They are divided into districts.
Almaty and Astana cities have the status of State importance and are not in any region. Baikonur city has a special status because it is leased to Russia for Baikonur cosmodrome until 2050.
Each province is headed by an Akim (provincial governor) appointed by the president. Municipal Akims are appointed by province Akims. The Government of Kazakhstan moved its capital from Almaty to Astana on December 10, 1997.
Population
The population of Kazakhstan is 17,165,000. It takes the 62th place in the List of countries by population. Average density is one of the lowest on earth with almost 6 people/km2 ( List of countries by population density).

Doom 2 (or Doom II in roman numerals) is a sequel to the first-person shooter video game Doom. It was created by iD Software, and came out in 1994, just one year after the first game. It was based on the same game engine as Doom, and had 32 levels, two of them secret. Doom 2 got newer enemies and weapons. Enemies new in Doom 2 include the Arch-vile, Mancubus, Arachnotron, Chaingunner, Pain Elemental, Revenant, Hell Knight, and the Final Boss (also called the Icon of Sin). The only new weapon in Doom 2 is the Super Shotgun. It is a double-barrel shotgun that use two shotgun shells every time it is fired, but it does three times as much damage as the normal Shotgun and has a much wider hit box. The game's difficulty is much harder than the first Doom game.
Doom 2 includes an expansion pack known as the Master Levels for Doom II. The expansion pack has 20 WAD files created by various authors under contract with id Software.
Doom 2 also includes another expansion pack called No Rest for the Living, released on the Xbox Live Arcade for the Xbox 360.
