PHILEMON WHALE, weaver, came to Sudbury soon after its settlement, began buying land in or before 1643 and was generally accounted as a resident soon after, or perhaps even during, 1639. The earliest settled portion of "Sudbury Plantation" was on the east side of Sudbury River and now bears the name of Wayland Center. . . . His first home was undoubtedly near the head of the Mill Pond, and a bridge or culvert over the outlet then called "Pond Brook" took the name of "Whale's Bridge" and bore it into the twentieth century, and since PHILEMON had no son, it was the only way in which his name continued. In his later years he built a home near Rice's Spring and eventually sold it with nine acres of land to Edmund Rice. He owned various tracts of land in and near Sudbury including lot number eighteen in the two-mile grant which was surveyed about 1655 and added to his possessions one hundred thirty acres in the vicinity of what is now Maynard.
The Colonial Court at an early date ordered that "the town's men in every town shall order that ev'y house, or some two or more houses ioyne [join] together for the breeding of salt peetr i' some out house used for poultry or the like." Ensign Thomas Cakebread . . . was assigned to look after this matter and the saltpeter thus obtained was used for the manufacture of gun powder. In 1645, however, Sudbury was "freed from ye taking further care about salt peeter houses . . . in answer to their petition."
When the town was young a ferry had been established to carry workmen to the meadows on the west side of the Sudbury river and in 1643 Thomas Noyes (son of Peter . . . ) kept it, being allowed two pence for carrying over a single passenger and a penny a head for a greater number. Presently a cart-bridge was planned which was to be "three feet above high-water mark" and twelve feet wide. A later plan specified that it should be one foot above high water mark, fourteen feet wide and five rods long. The posts must be sixteen inches square, the braces eight inches square, "the plank must be two inches thick sawn," with five braces for the plank and a rail at each side of the bridge, braced at every post. Timothy Hawkins contracted to fell the timber, saw it and build the frame ready for placing or raising for which he received £13 in corn and cattle. This is said to have been the first regularly framed cart-bridge in the county and was built in or about 1643. Though ordinarily the stream was slow and sluggish, in spring and fall "the river in a flood is half a mile over" and it was necessary to build a raised road or causeway (frequently spelled Casey or Carsey) half a mile long at the west end of the bridge. This was begun in 1643 but not completed for some time, since in 1645 the Colony ordered that £20 be allowed Sudbury toward the cost of the bridge "and [cause]way at ye end of it, to be paid ym [them] when they shall have made ye way passable for loaden horses, so it be done wthin a twelve month." As time went on this causeway had to be raised repeatedly to keep it above the floods. The colony further favored Sudbury and also Concord and Lancaster by a rebate of taxes because their proximity to water courses caused them an expenditure for bridges "for the publicque use of the countrye" beyond that of towns differently situated.
Succeeding bridges have from time to time replaced this first one and the location is rich in memories, for at its western end began the Old Lancaster Road . . . which was then indeed the "Gateway to the West"; over this crossing the Indians were forced the day King Philip attacked the town . . . ; at the "Bridge foot" were buried the bodies of the eleven Concord men who fell that day; later the stage coaches used this bridge and over it Gen. Washington passed when he went through the town.
"About the midst of this summer there arose a fly out of the ground, about the bigness of the top of a man's little finger, of brown color. They filled the wood from Connecticut to Sudbury with a great noise, and eat up the young sprouts of the trees but meddled not with the corn. If the Lord had not stopped them they had [would have] spoiled all our orchards, for they did some few."
"In ye year 1667, from ye middle of November until ye middle of March was the tereblest winter for continuance of frost and snow and extremity of cold that was ever remembered by any since it was planted with English; and was attended with terebell coughs and coulds and fever which passed many out of time into eternity, and also through want and scarcity of fother [fodder] multitudes of sheep and cattle and other creatures died. . . ."
In the family affairs of PHILEMON WHALE, the usual order or habit was reversed for he had but one known child and three wives. His first wife ELIZABETH (_____) [Note by compiler: Elizabeth's maiden name was FROST] our ancestress, whom he married in England, died at Sudbury June 20, 1647, and he married secondly there on November 7, 1649, Sarah (_____) Cakebread, widow of Thomas Cakebread . . . , who in 1645 had received a grant of land in the latter man's behalf. Sarah died at Sudbury on December 28, 1656, and PHILEMON married there on November 9, 1657, as his third wife Elizabeth (_____) UPSON Griffin. . . . The oddest phase of the whole situation is that while PHILEMON was ancestral to us through his first wife, his third wife was ancestral to us through her first husband and her daughter HANNAH UPSON, while tradition says that his second wife was also ancestral to us through her first husband, but of course that remains to be proved. . . . PHILEMON WHALE signed his will with his mark (similar to three-quarters of a large printed W) on January 19, 1675-6, exactly one month after the Great Swamp Fight. . . . He died at Sudbury on February 22 or 24 and the inventory of his estate was taken on March 28, 1676, showing a valuation of over £87. The will gave his entire estate to "beloved wife ELIZABETH . . . forever," named her his executrix, specifying that after her death the house and lands should go "unto ye foure sonnes of my loveing daughter ELIZABETH MOORES, vizt. William, Jacob, Joseph and Benjamin equally to be divided amongst them."
PHILEMON must have been quite aged when he died since his daughter ELIZABETH [Note by compiler: Elizabeth was actually Philemon's step-daughter] married by or before 1639. His third wife and widow ELIZABETH spent eighteen years at his side and survived him thirteen more years, until November 8, 1688.
Soon after his death Sudbury was attacked by King Philip and his Indians on April 21. Long before this the settlers had many of them built homes on the west side of the river and on both sides, certain homes had been fortified to serve as garrison houses to which the people could hasten for protection. Philip and his forces estimated at five hundred to a thousand or more had silently placed themselves during the night, and at daybreak announced their presence by setting fire to several houses. That was the beginning of a terrible day, with fierce attacks on every garrison house, and looting and burning of the homes so hastily deserted at daybreak. A company of twelve young men hastened from Concord to assist the beleaguered town, but were ambushed and eleven were slain before they reached the town. Another company hurried from Watertown . . . led by seventy-five year old Capt. Mason. They attacked the Indians who were plundering, burning and fighting on the east side of the river, and with the help of the residents there, drove them westward across the bridge after which the flooded river helped to confine the battle to the west side where Capt. Wadsworth and his men were presently ambushed . . . . During this terrible day widow Elizabeth whose concern for her children and grandchildren must have been an agony to bear, lost property to the value of £24 by fire or by plunder.
1. Elizabeth [Note by compiler: Elizabeth was actually Philemon's step-daughter], b. in England probably about 1620; d. at Sudbury December 14, 1690; married perhaps in England about 1637-8 JOHN MOORE. . . .
The birth date above is his baptism date.
He married, first, at St.Mary's, Bury St.Edmunds on Jan 24,1621/2, Elizabeth (Frost) Rice.
He married, second, on Nov 7,1649 at Sudbury, MA, Sarah _____ Cakebread.
He married, third, on Nov 9,1657 at Sudbury, MA, Elizabeth _____ Upson Griffin. She was a widow of Hugh Griffin. She died in 1688.

I was looking to present a simple looping slideshow on my website the other day, and it just seemed that all of the plugins I came across were too bulky for my trivial purpose, so I turned my attention to stand-alone solutions. In the end, I found that jQuery was all that I needed to accomplish what I wanted to. In today's article, I'll show you how I did it.
A good renering of a classic race car.
The CSS is really quite minimal and just sets the container DIV dimensions, adds padding between the top and left page margins and the image, and surrounds the image with a border and shadow.
Appended to the bottom of the document, the JS kicks in only after all of our images have been defined. The first line hides all the image DIVs so that we can show them one at a time within the slideshow. Then, setInterval() is employed to iterate over the images at a pace of every 5 seconds. It invokes the anonymous function that fades the current image out, proceeds to the next sibling, fades it in, and appends it to the slideshow container element. Notice the use of the end() function that returns the this pointer to an earlier state. Without it, the next call to fadeOut() does not work as expected, leading to the images being piled on top of each other.
Here is the result on Codepen.
//the text below the images.
This time, I included some setTimeouts to give elements a chance to render completely. Otherwise, I noticed inconsistencies around the image edges.
Here is the updated slideshow on Codepen and you can see the original slideshow here if you're interested.
In a future instalment, we'll add some controls to the slideshow and implement cross fading.

The function output-pane-stop-composition stops the ongoing composition session if there is any, returning the currently composed string.
If process-p is true and there is a composition, the current composition string is processed as if the user committed it. That is, for each character, the user callbacks from the input model are invoked as if it was typed by the user. The default value of process-p is nil.
x and y provide coordinates for the callbacks. If either of them is nil, the current pointer position is used. When process-p is nil, x and y are ignored.
output-pane-stop-composition returns the current composition string, if any, or nil.
A composition session is initiated and managed by the underlying windowing system (not CAPI) when it is set to use an input method which needs compositioning (mostly input methods for east Asian languages). You can tell when it happens by using :composition-callback in output-pane .
Calling output-pane-stop-composition when there is no composition session has no effect.
You will typically need to use output-pane-stop-composition when a gesture that is not processed by the input method (for example a mouse click) changes the interaction such that it does not make sense to continue the composition.

Western countries have long suspected that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons while the Iranian government denies that accusation and insists on its right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. In November, the two sides reached an interim agreement under which Iran constrains its nuclear program in return for a modest easing of sanctions — a deal that began to take effect on January 20th.
Long-held mistrust between the U.S. and Iran, however, threatens to undermine the temporary arrangement and, possibly, a long-term agreement. What should the U.S. ask for in the final deal? What tack should western negotiators take to improve the likelihood of success? How can each side improve confidence in the other’s commitment to follow through? What is the role of the IAEA?
On February 7th, PSA held a bipartisan discussion with two former U.S. negotiators on Iran to gain valuable insights on these questions and what is in store for the future relationship between the U.S. and Iran, as well as its neighbors in the region.
Nicholas Burns has a distinguished career in government and the Foreign Service, including Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs (2005 – 2008) and lead United States negotiator on Iran’s nuclear program. Based on his experiences in this position, Mr. Burns will be able to provide a first-hand account of formulating Iran policy and establishment of UN and U.S sanctions regimes. He is Professor of the Practice of Diplomacy and Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
Robert Einhorn is a senior fellow with the Arms Control and Non-Proliferation Initiative and the Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence, both housed within the Foreign Policy program at Brookings. Einhorn focuses on arms control (U.S.-Russia and multilateral), nonproliferation and regional security issues (including Iran, the greater Middle East, South Asia, and Northeast Asia), and U.S. nuclear weapons policies and programs.

Talking about working in a hot new drama series, Hany says “there seems to be a saturation within the crime genre. I think we have gotten reality television out of our system, which was important to get through. At the moment the show takes advantage of a real gap.

In episode two Nina vows to take charge of her love life, but as things with Brendan come to an end, Chris struggles to explain his past and Nina is left uncertain about their relationship. While the Proudman family adjust to life with their newest member, baby Ray.

The high-energy group consists of experimental physicists: Professors Imlay, Metcalf, McNeil, Svoboda, and Matthews; two theoreticians: Professors Chan and Haymaker; several postdoctoral associates; and a number of technicians, graduate students, and undergraduate student workers.
The experimental group has concentrated on colliding beam physics, neutrino physics and cosmic ray physics. Present on-going experiments include the L3 experiment at LEP, the LSND neutrino experiment at Los Alamos and Super-Kamiokande(Super-K) in Japan. The group is also involved in preparation for future experiments: Mini-BooNE(Booster Neutrino Experiment) at Fermilab, KamLaND in Japan and the AUGER project.
On the theoretical side, work is in progress to construct dynamical models for quark systems and to apply them to the phenomenology of elementary particles. Further, the underlying symmetries are being investigated to better understand the symmetry breaking that gives rise to observed phenomena. Gauge theories, quantum chromodynamics(QCD), effective action expansions, and lattice gauge theories are all under investigation.

Overheating of the body occurs unnoticed. Under the action of sunlight or high temperature, metabolic processes are disturbed, a person feels unwell, bordering on fainting. Increased heat generation along with low heat emission is fraught with serious complications, up to the termination of cardiac activity. The sooner first aid is given in case of a sunstroke, the more minimal the consequences.
What to do with sunstroke?
What should not be done with sunstroke?
Sunstroke is one of the types of heat effects of external factors on the human body. According to the name, sunstroke becomes the result of a long irregular stay in the sun in the heat. People endure the warm weather in different ways: someone feels perfectly under the open sunshine on the beach at noon, when the thermometer has passed the mark of +40 0 С, and someone will feel unwell at +25 0 С, having stayed for a short time the sun.
It is not necessary to wait for the full clinical picture to show sunstroke. At the first symptoms it is necessary to provide the victim with first aid.
Provide cooling for overheated body. For this person, they are transferred from a shade to a cool room with good ventilation, they are laid on their backs.
If a person is conscious, he needs a cool abundant drink (clear water, juice, juice, not hot tea).
Breathing should be free, so if we are not talking about the beach, it is necessary to free the neck and chest, loosen clothes, tie, undo the buttons.
If possible, feet, hands wrapped with towels dipped in cool water. If there is a reservoir nearby, the victim can be lowered into the water in shallow water. It is important that the cooling is not sharp!
In the presence of sunburn, a frequent satellite of sunstroke, the affected places should be lubricated with anti-burn agent (panthenol, bepanthene), if they are not present, with kefir, sour cream.
Fainting requires special actions, first of all, a person must be revived: bring a cotton swab dipped in liquid ammonia to his nose, pat him on the cheeks, sprinkle water on his face. In the prone position, the head should be slightly raised.
Children. The system of thermoregulation in a child is less perfect than in an adult. Mom, in pursuit of a bronze tan, may not notice that for a child the activity of the sun's rays has reached its peak and he is threatened with sunstroke. Symptoms of sunstroke in children are similar to those described above, the child becomes irritable, lethargic, crying, suffering from thirst. Children, especially small ones, need medical attention, even if sunstroke has been prevented.
Give alcoholic beverages, coffee, strong tea, caffeine-containing beverages.
The liquid is recommended to drink in small portions (up to 0.2 liters at a time), in between meals. Cold water not only does not quench thirst, but also inhibits the processes occurring in the gastrointestinal tract.
Sunstroke - a sharp decrease in the rate of metabolic processes, the dulling of the activity of the central nervous system under the influence of sunlight and the high temperature of the environment. It is necessary to know how to provide first aid to the victim and to comply with preventive measures, without exposing themselves and their relatives to unnecessary risk.

While Ricky Renteria's outfit and Sox fans shivered through snowflakes and 30-degree temperatures last week, consider all the thousands of Chicago kids who play baseball and softball on school teams in March and April. You think the Abreus and Moncadas of the world have it tough? None of the local youngsters have the luxury of at least playing away games in Florida, California, Texas, or in heated domed stadiums.
Guys who played baseball in Chicago in the early spring have painful memories of episodes like hitting a fastball off the handle of the bat without the benefit of batting gloves as the wind whistled in their faces while an occasional snow flurry drifted by.
So there's not much sympathy in this corner of the conditions the Sox opened their home season in last Thursday on the South Side. Even though a rather robust snow shower dominated the middle innings, the Sox persevered to build a 7-3 lead after seven innings against a mediocre Detroit Tiger contingent. Yolmer Sanchez's two triples, accounting for three RBI, led the assault, giving James Shields a great chance to win his second straight decision.
Then the bullpen happened. We've known for some time that the team's bullpen would have much to say about the Sox fortunes this season, and we got a big dose of that on Thursday. Nate Jones gave up a single tally in the eighth before purported closer Joakim Soria allowed three runs after two outs in the ninth to knot the game at 7.
Of course, by this juncture, only a handful of Sox faithful remained from the announced Opening Day crowd of 33,318. This saved thousands of fans from witnessing what happened next: a couple of hits, a walk, an overturned call against the Sox, and a runner going from second to third on a flyball in the 10th inning as the Tigers scored twice against Gregory Infante and Aaron Bummer, to complete the 9-7 comeback.
Let's hope that was a temporary migraine rather than a preview of what's to come. However, the headache was pounding away again on Saturday.
In a lackluster performance on many levels, the Sox were beaten 6-1. Starting pitcher Lucas Giolito had little success locating his pitches, although he lasted until two outs in the sixth inning, departing with a 5-0 deficit. Giolito walked three batters and hit as many. Four of those free passes came around to score. End of story.
Well, not quite. Renteria summoned Juan Minaya, who finished last season as the team's closer, to pitch the top of the ninth. Poor Juan threw 23 pitches, of which only seven were strikes. Walking four straight hitters was enough to get a one-way ticket to Charlotte at the end of the day.
Interestingly, Infante followed Minaya with the bases loaded and no outs. Inexplicably he retired the Tigers on a pop-up and two strikeouts. It all required just eight pitches.
The two teams mustered only five hits between them on Sunday as the Tigers swept the Sox 1-0 in front of approximately 35,000 empty seats.
In the team's four losses prior to Sunday, the bullpen had allowed 18 earned runs in 13.3 innings for an appalling 12.15 ERA.
Anyone with the least bit of interest in this edition of the South Siders knows that the team has a stable of young prospects. However, that does not hold true as far as relief pitchers are concerned. Before the departure of Minaya, the average age of the eight members of the relief corps was a few ticks short of 30. Only Bummer at 24 could be considered a prospect.
Furthermore, the crew at Triple-A Charlotte is primarily veterans. Bruce Rondon, 27, arrived Sunday to replace Minaya. No doubt the fellow was confused upon arrival since Rondon pitched for the Tigers the past three seasons. He entered the visitors' clubhouse only to be told that, no, he actually now was a member of the Chicago White Sox.
Apparently the rather large right-hander - he's 6-foot-3, 275 pounds - regained his senses by the ninth inning, striking out three of his former teammates in order.
Forgive us if we feel insulted having our team lose three straight in the home opening series to a team like Detroit, a bunch that appears to be heading nowhere this season with aging stars like Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez and a dearth of prospects at the big-league level.
The bright spot, however, came Sunday when Reynaldo Lopez pitched seven innings of two-hit baseball, his second strong outing in as many opportunities. This kid throws hard, has plenty of mound presence, and at age 24 will only get better.
Chances are some of the Sox pitching prospects on the farm will be steered toward relief roles because that's where the organization is weak. Meanwhile, we have glimpsed the truth about a rebuild that we hoped would not be: it's still in progress.

Ok so they say cleanliness is next to godliness, well if that is the case then I'm gonna be stuck in purgatory for a long time! I used to have what I call a Domestic Goddess come in every 2 weeks but that is not in the budget right now so I am on my own. I do mean on my own literally because I am the only female in a house with 2 slobs and a 3 year old who does hold some promise. I'm determined to figure out how to be a June Cleaver in a Rosanne Barr world (yea I know keep dreamin right) So I've scoured the internet to find some great spring cleaning tips to help us both out.
Our home is what I call a 5, 4 and a door, 5 windows on top, 4 on the bottom and a door stuck in there somewhere. It is a traditional southern home and our townis filled with this style home.
My husband works from home so we thought when we bought this house we would need more room. Well more room means more work cleaning and I have a hard time keeping up. I swear as soon as I get the first floor done and move to the top it looks like I didn't clean at all. It's just hard to keep up, it's exhausting really and sometimes I just want to give up!
How to clean up when you don't know where to start.
Thanks for all of these great links, Kelley! Going to need a few of them for sure!
Nice! I must check these out. Thank you!
I just went thru the post that “how to clean your ceiling fan”. It is simply a cool idea. If we use a pillowcase then we can wipe off the dust into the cover. Great tip.
Great ideas for the kiddos and for this mama to get organized! I love the Hoarders graphic, too! :) Thanks for sharing!
Hi, I'm visiting from Serenity Now's link party. Thanks for the links! I love all these :-) Take care!
Thanks so much for including my spring cleaning checklist! Happy Spring!
I think breaking up the cleaning daily helps tremendously! Otherwise if the whole house needs cleaning I dread it! I also find a "family cleanup" helps knock a lot out in a shorter time.

This includes preventing foreign substances from entering the body; aiding in immune function; protecting internal organs from physical trauma; protecting against ultraviolet damage; regulating body temperature; producing lipids to protect and maintain hydration, thus preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and dehydration; communicating sensations via touch, and excreting waste products and toxins. Another key function is synthesizing nutrients into molecules to provide each cell what it requires to do its job. Many of the micronutrients discussed play a significant role in collagen synthesis. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and comprises roughly 75 percent of the skin’s (dry) weight. It provides the dermis with its structural integrity and gives strength and tone to the skin and other tissues, hence reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
It should also be noted that the skin is an effective diagnostic tool to assess the body’s overall health. Internal factors that impact the body’s organs and systems also affect the skin; namely, how it looks and performs. Since the skin is connected to every part of the body, the health of the skin is indicative of the health within the body, and the health of the body depends on how we feed the skin. Think of it this way: food is an input and so are lifestyle choices. The body takes all these inputs collectively. So you cannot have a poor diet, carry high stress, get inadequate sleep and expect to maintain healthy skin. That is counterintuitive to the way the skin works. It is assumed that all the micronutrients have an effect on the skin in some way, however, in the interest of brevity, I will focus on the micronutrients that have a more direct connection to the skin via the functions listed above.
Vitamin A is an umbrella term for an important class of antioxidants and is used to generically describe compounds that exhibit the biological activity of retinol, the alcoholic form of vitamin A. Vitamin A and its derivatives support cell growth and repair by reducing the oxidation of DNA, protecting cells from free radical damage, assisting with immune function, and maintaining and repairing epithelial tissue through cell differentiation and its role in gene expression. By affecting gene expression, vitamin A can determine what type of cell an immature cell will become. Protein cannot be utilized in the body without vitamin A.When protein is deficient, the amount of retinol-binding protein, (which binds to vitamin A and transports it from the liver to other tissues in the body), made is inadequate. Without vitamin A, epithelial cells which make up the skin cannot differentiate normally because there is no vitamin A to regulate the production of particular proteins. Because vitamin A increases cell proliferation and turnover, it is often used as a treatment for acne and wrinkles. Retinoids influence keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation via binding to nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARalpha, -gamma) and retinoid X receptor alpha (RXRalpha). Carotenoids are compounds related to vitamin A and some can convert to retinol serving as precursors to vitamin A. Beta-carotene, among the most popular of the carotenoids, converts to retinyl esters in the epidermis. It also stimulates natural collagen and elastin. Once consumed, it converts to vitamin A in the liver but does not have the same effect as vitamin A in the body; hence, it does not pose the same toxic risk.
The B vitamins help to maintain the health of the nerves, skin, eyes, hair, liver, mouth, as well as healthy muscle tone in the gastrointestinal tract and proper brain function. They are essential for wound healing, prevention of premature skin aging and acne, aids new cell growth, and promotes circulation and metabolism. Because B vitamins work in tandem, a deficiency in one likely means a deficiency of another.
Thiamine (B1) is responsible for the synthesis of neurotransmitters. Its function of breaking down glucose to provide energy is especially important since glucose is the energy source for nerve cells. Thiamine enhances circulation, plays a role in blood formation, carbohydrate metabolism, and aids digestion through the production of hydrochloric acid. This is worth noting because only about 20 percent of what the skin looks like is a result of topical ingredients. The other 80 percent, of which the dermis and subcutaneous layers are a part, is directly linked to how the body is fed and how nutrients are digested, absorbed, and utilized. As an antioxidant, thiamine protects the body from the degenerative effects of aging, alcohol consumption, and smoking. Its link to acne is twofold. First, its responsibility to breakdown carbohydrates and sugar is significant since too much sugar would lead to too much insulin circulating in the blood. Insulin would stimulate the overproduction of other hormones which could cause an increase in sebum production and acne. Also, excessive sugar is inflammatory and can cause glycation and wrinkles due to the degradation of collagen. Secondly, thiamine is considered an anti-stress vitamin as it supports the immune system and seems to improve the body’s ability to cope during stressful situations.
Riboflavin (B2) is responsible for DNA replication and repair. It facilitates the use of oxygen by the tissues of the skin, hair, and nails and eliminates dandruff. It is required for red blood cell production and cell respiration. Together with vitamin A, it maintains and improves the mucous membranes in the digestive tract. Deficiency can lead to cracks and sores at the corners of the mouth, skin lesions and dermatitis, poor digestion, and hair loss.
Niacin (B3) improves circulation and is essential for healthy skin. It is essential in glucose metabolism, fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, and in the production of hydrochloric acid. Skin lesions, inflammation, and dermatitis are directly linked to a deficiency in niacin.
Pantothenic acid (B5) is also considered an anti-stress vitamin and is required by every cell in the body. It is needed for proper adrenal gland function and plays a vital role in the production of adrenal hormones and neurotransmitters. As discussed above, the adrenal glands release androgens and can ultimately promote acneic conditions in the skin.
Pyridoxine (B6) is required to make hemoglobin, which transports oxygen in the blood. It affects nerve transmission by synthesizing lipids that are part of the myelin sheath that coats nerves. Myelin is essential for nerve transmission. It synthesizes hemoglobin, converts tryptophan into niacin, and breaks down glycogen to release glucose into the blood. It is also needed to form white blood cells which impact the skin’s immune function. Deficiency can lead to flaky skin, impaired wound healing, facial oiliness, numbness, and tingly sensations.
Cobalamin (B12) is necessary to maintain the myelin coating on nerves and is necessary for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the energy required for each cell in the body to perform. As is the case with all other B vitamins, it would be impossible for the body to exist without it, as it is required for proper digestion, absorption, protein synthesis, carbohydrate and fat metabolism. It aids in cell formation and cellular longevity.
Folate (folic acid) is needed for DNA synthesis. Cells must synthesize DNA in order to replicate which is vital to maintain the integrity of the skin which sheds its cells so rapidly. Without folate developing, red blood cells cannot divide and grow bigger, reducing the blood’s oxygen carrying capacity. It also supports the immune system by aiding in the formation and function of white blood cells.
Biotin functions in energy metabolism and glucose synthesis. It acts via cell surface receptors to regulate the expression of key enzymes involved in glucose metabolism. It is also important for the metabolism of fatty acids and amino acids which are primary components of the cell membrane and necessary for healthy skin. Biotin deficiency often results in seborrheic dermatitis characterized by scaly, flaky, itchy, red skin.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that “brightens, lightens, and tightens.” It is considered a powerhouse vitamin for the skin. It helps prevent water loss and maintains the skin’s barrier function; it strengthens capillary walls; promotes collagen and elastin synthesis; helps to brighten and prevent photo-damage; and increases cell proliferation. Vitamin C is a wound-healing vitamin, as it is required for tissue growth and repair. It is used to combat the effects of environmental stressors (ultraviolet rays, including UVA and UVB damage) and toxins, and deactivates free radicals. It can inhibit irregular melanin production, thereby reducing melanogenesis, and suppresses hyperpigmentation and inflammation, making it an important weapon for acne patients. The ability to fight infection is diminished when vitamin C is deficient. Vitamin C inhibits collagenase to suppress collagen degradation, as well as inhibits the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), often referred to as aging enzymes, which can break down collagen. According to the Linus Pauling Institute, vitamin C is found at high levels in both the epidermis and dermis, however, the vitamin C content in the epidermis is higher than in the dermis but diminishes with age. By some accounts, there is as much as five times more vitamin C in the epidermis than the deeper layers of the skin.
Vitamin D regulates the processes of cell prolifera-tion and differentiation that takes place in the basal layer of the epidermis ultimately supporting cell growth, wound healing, and maintaining the skin’s barrier functions. The active form of vitamin D appears to have an indirect effect on wound healing properties of the skin by regulating the expression of cathelicidin, an antimicrobial protein which promotes wound healing and tissue repair. Cathelicidin modulates inflammation in skin, induces angiogenesis and improves re-epithelialization (the process of restoring the epidermal barrier to re-establish a functional barrier that protects underlying cells from environmental exposures). There is a growing body of evidence that vitamin D3 is an important regulator of cutaneous immunity, in addition to its role in calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism. In particular, vitamin D3 exerts pluripotent effects on adaptive immune functions such as T cell activation and maturation of dendritic cells. In addition, vitamin D3 has been suggested to increase innate immunity in skin and to enable efficient antimicrobial defense at epithelial surfaces.
Vitamin E is another powerful antioxidant that promotes healthy skin. It improves circulation, is necessary for tissue repair, and protects cell membranes. It prevents cell damage by inhibiting the oxidation of lipids. Vitamin E helps prevent sun damage by absorbing the energy from ultraviolet light, although it cannot absorb UVA light. According to the Pauling Institute, vitamin E is the most abundant lipophilic antioxidant found in human skin. Like vitamin C, levels of vitamin E in the epidermis are higher than in the dermis. Vitamin E first accumulates in the sebaceous glands before it is delivered to the skin surface through sebum. Following oral ingestion, it takes at least seven days before the vitamin E content of sebum is altered. There are no transport proteins specific for vitamin E in the skin. Due to its lipophilic nature, vitamin E can also penetrate into all underlying layers of skin.
Vitamin K is needed for the normal clotting of blood. It is useful in healing skin discolorations, as well as treating under-eye darkness and circles. It is vitamin K’s blood clotting function that makes it a good choice for preventing bruising and hemorrhaging. Research suggests vitamin K activates the protein Matrix-carboxyglatamic acid (MGP) that inhibits the calcification of the skin leading to wrinkles in people suffering from a genetic disease- pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) which causes severe wrinkling on the face and body.
Coenzyme Q10 aids circulation, stimulates the immune system, increases tissue oxygenation, and has anti-aging benefits.
Boron is necessary for the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. It is needed for healthy bones and muscle growth which supports healthy skin tone. Boron also plays a role in how the body uses energy from fats and sugars.
Calcium is needed for muscle growth and contraction; is essential in blood clotting; plays a role in fat metabolism through the activation of lipase; maintains proper cell membrane permeability; release of neurotransmitters, and helps keep skin healthy. Cellular calcium concentrations can control biological activity by facilitating the conversion of inactive proenzymes to active enzymes. Specific to the skin, a deficiency in calcium can lead to eczema and other cases of xerosis (dry skin).
Chromium is required to maintain normal blood glucose levels and is needed for energy. It is believed to act by enhancing the effects of insulin and through proper insulin utilization. It is essential for the synthesis of cholesterol, fats, and proteins. A deficiency is associated with glucose intolerance and inadequate metabolism of amino acids. Excessive intake has been linked to dermatitis.
"There is as much as five times more vitamin C in the epidermis than the deeper layers of the skin."
Copper is linked to collagen synthesis. If there is too little copper in the body, copper does not form normally, resulting in skeletal changes similar to those seen in vitamin C deficiency. Copper also aids in the formation of hemoglobin and red blood cells, as well as works with zinc and vitamin C to form elastin which provides elasticity and flexibility to the skin.
Iodine is needed for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland and ultimately every cell in the body. Thyroid hormones regulate metabolic rate, allowing each cell to do more of what it does; growth and development, and protein synthesis. Iodine aids in healing skin infections, prevents roughness and premature wrinkling.
Iron is associated with oxygen. The most important function is in the production of hemoglobin and the oxygenation of red blood cells and myoglobin found in muscle tissue. Iron is important to a healthy immune system and for energy production.
Magnesium assists in the uptake of calcium and potassium and the production of adenosine triphosphate. It is needed in every metabolic reaction that generates or uses adenosine triphosphate – every cell in the body. Magnesium helps regulate calcium homeostasis and the action of vitamin D.
Manganese is involved in collagen synthesis and degradation; gluconeogenesis and glucose regulation. Manganese is required for the activation of prolidase, an enzyme that functions to provide the amino acid proline for collagen formation.
Phosphorous is needed for blood clotting. In the body there should always be a balance of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Phosphorous is a structural component of the phospholipid bilayer that makes up cell membranes, DNA and RNA, and is important in energy metabolism in the cells.
Potassium works with sodium to control the body’s water balance. Low potassium levels can lead to intracellular water loss, causing dry skin and dehydration. Dehydration leads to the death of cells and a degradation of the skin.
Selenium is part of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase. It is also part of a protein needed for the synthesis of thyroid hormones and plays a vital role in regulating the effects of thyroid hormone on fat metabolism. But the primary function of selenium is to inhibit the oxidation of fats. Symptoms of selenium deficiency can include skin eruptions.
Sodium regulates fluid volume, ion transport, and intracellular osmotic pressure which directly affect edema in the skin and tissues. Inadequate sodium levels can lead to intracellular water loss and dysfunction in cellular communication, function, and so on.
Sulfur helps keep skin clear and smooth and is often used for the treatment of acne. Sulfur is needed for protein synthesis because methionine and cysteine both contain sulfur and is needed to build proteins.
Zinc aids in wound healing, promotes cell growth and immune function. Zinc is often combined with vitamin A in the treatment of acne. Zinc is needed by enzymes involved in the synthesis of DNA and RNA, carbohydrate metabolism, and facilitates the absorption of folate from food. Zinc supports the storage and release of insulin and the mobilization of vitamin A from the liver.

1. TITLE: "DESIGN REPLACES ART"
"The majority of feature animation companies are creating character look and feel based on artistic interpretation of a movie script, not based on sales figures and metrics."
A cloud based software that procedurally generates character facial and body proportions based on previous years of release, sales data, and IP popularity. Hence, if Steven Spielberg wanted to make a character for a feature, and was curious as to what a popular character based on Target and Wal-Mart sales data was for 8 year old boys in 2005, he would type those parameters into the software and a 3D CGI layout would generate showing the proportions of that requested type. That image could then be printed off, and a character designer could use that sheet of paper as a “trace paper” underlay to base the design off of the new Spielberg character. Now there is a science to designing Spielberg characters that is based off of sales metrics as opposed to randomization.
This is a software that automates the character rigging process of the same character in a feature animation production, a visual effects production, and a video game production, with one common joint based naming convention where the divisions’ three separate characters could use the same animation data on all three divisions saving money. In theory, for example, the Spider-Man mesh used in Insomniac Games' “Spider-Man” game, that could be modified to work in Sony Pictures Imageworks’ “Spider-Man Homecoming”, as well as Sony Pictures Animation “Spider-Man into the Spider Verse”, would have the same underlying technical construction that would be created with this software. With that same underlying technical construction, a core Sony animation group could develop motions for the setup as well as use existing motions. This construction would be completed either through an installable software or the models could be loaded into the cloud and automated. This would cut technical labor of Sony by two thirds.
Title initially plays like "HALO" third person shooter then eventually moves to an "Assasin's Creed" or "Lord of the Rings: Shadow of War" style of combat.
Alice is a little girl from Asia, and her and her sister’s family are tied to the Asian mob. Alice’s mother, Yukiri Chen, is diagnosed with a bone cancer while living in Hong Kong. Her husband, Alice’s father, Dr. Tomasso Chen, a medical engineer, injects experimental nano micro biotic robots that fight cancer cells into her blood system. The robots do not work according to plan and cause a cyborg type allergic reaction in her body, causing Yukiri to not act human. Yukiri, presumed to be deceased, leaves Hong Kong and travels to Columbus, Ohio, discovering the hole to Wonderland, previous to the traditional Alice in Wonderland story. Due to her robotic strength, she murders the Queen of Hearts, pre traditional “Alice” story, and assumes the role as the new Queen of Hearts….. with Alice not knowing. Alice was sent to live with a foster family in New England in modern times, with her sister Christina being sent just outside of Columbus, Ohio (eventually with Alice moving to Columbus). The traditional “Alice in Wonderland” story takes place, Alice escapes. Due to the body armor and mental deterioration, The Queen of Hearts is unrecognizable to Alice. In order to secure her life so the cancer does not take over her body, the heads of the other three klans in Wonderland (Diamond, Spade, Club) dismember Yukiri, the new Queen of Hearts, limbs due to them being intimidated by her, with her controlling the most powerful army, and donate a single limb (1 arm, 2 legs, and second arm as a weapon) to Yukiri making her more of a fighting Queen (looking similar to a General Grievous from Star Wars).
1.	The Diamonds are selfish, greedy, and wealthy among the four klans, tall and lanky, typically bankers in Wonderland, paying the Spades at a minimum to maintain the Hearts mechanical army which they also fund.
2.	The Spades are lower in society, withering, spreading rumors, and trying to use wit and charm to plant thoughts in the Queen of Hearts, similar to a Grima Wormtongue in The Lord of the Rings, hunchbacked and cowardly; willing to do anything for money, and typically trying to convince the Queen to give them a leg up over the Diamonds.
3.	The Clubs are pure brutes, large, strong and fierce, with a build similar to a cave troll in Lord of the Rings: unrelenting, unintelligent, and unapologetic, and easily able to be fooled. The Spades try to manipulate the Clubs to give them a boost in society over the Diamonds and Hearts, but the Clubs often become tiresome of their antics and eat them.
4.	The Hearts are mindless and mechanical, serving the Queen who is part droid due to the cancer treatment. Each of the Queen’s limbs has spikes protruding out of it that she “stabs” victims body parts to to wear as ornamentation. The only way to weaken and kill the Queen, is to remove the spines from each of the heads of the three other Wonderland klans (Diamond, Spade, and Club), and stab the respective artificial limbs killing her off.
At the age of 14, Alice’s sister Christina is kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by her former nemesis, the Queen of Hearts, Christina and Alice’s mother. The white rabbit appears in Columbus, Ohio, to tell Alice. Alice, helpless, leaves Columbus vowing revenge and returns to the Asian mob in China, strengthening mob ties, ninjutsu, weaponry, poisoning techniques, and advanced laser guided armor piercing techniques. She trains in Kung Fu for a period of 10 years becoming a master. Alice returns to Columbus, Ohio, to go to the “Wonderland” hole, meet the white rabbit, and infiltrate the Queen’s palace... In a Ripley from “Aliens” meets Oren-Ishi from “Kill Bill Vol 1” similar storyline, only to find that the white rabbit has been executed for treason, who was previously going to show her the way through Wonderland. Previous to the execution, while being tortured, the white rabbit told the Queen that Alice was coming back with modernized warfare to wipe the palace out. The Queen sent out a beacon to different plants and creatures throughout wonderland to emit a toxin in the air that can kill a human. As apart of gameplay, Alice must search each level of the game for a timed antidote for the following level that will enable her to proceed through the game. Alice must go into Wonderland and must kill the head of each family (Spade, Club, Diamond) and use their spines to stab the Queen of Hearts limbs, thereby rendering her helpless and being able to kill her. Ultimately, she tricks the Queen of Hearts to entering a portal for the main boss fight in the end, and the Queen is brought to the underworld of Hong Kong. The final boss fight takes place in Alice’s Chinese family’s dojo with the mob family patiently sitting, expecting Alice to kill the Queen in front of the mob avenging Christina. The Queen and Alice’s father, her husband, recognize each other, she kills him out of insanity. After revealing she is Alice’s non deceased mother, Alice, panicking and breaking down, turns her weapons on herself. Alice’s grandparents, in their mob’s dojo, scream her to stop. Gameplay switches to where the game player is the Queen. The Queen, insane and in rage, kills Alice’s grandparents in a kung fu battle (the Queen’s actual biological parents) in front of Alice. In the final boss fight, gameplay switching back to Alice, Alice is able to stab each of the Queen’s limbs with the spines of the heads of the Diamond, Spade, and Club klans, and kills the Queen. Orphaned without knowing what to do, Alice returns to Columbus, Ohio, goes into the Wonderland portal, and assumes the role as the new Queen of Hearts. Credits.
As apart of gameplay level design, the first level in wonderland is toxin free, but Alice must search for the antidote for the following level as each board passes, killing enemies and bosses along the way. As Alice progresses in the game, the toxins make her weaponry less effective, ultimately relying on the martial arts and hand to sword and flame tactics that she learned while in China. Each level is timed due to the air toxin antidote expiring and as the game progresses she must rely more on stealth to kill as opposed to distance firing. The game play mechanics begin like "Halo", but eventually the combat system is more "Assassin’s Creed."
Direct installs sales, monthly charging cycle, in game purchases for additional weapons and armor. Duel playable level. Character customization for enemies (ability of friends to scan their heads on enemies bodies so you can fight them, playable, in game).
4. TITLE: "THE SOCIAL SYMPHONY"
"Answering 'Ever wonder what is your favorite celebrites' music library', and creating a World of Warcraft experience to find out."
This is an exploratory video game that is cloud based that will import your iTunes library onto a server. In the video game, each person has their own planet. The engineering technology will procedurally populate the user s entire planet with digital architecture as well as digital environments, etc. The design creation of the architecture for the planet is dependent on the artist whose music is being inputted as well as the music genre in iTunes. Each individual's planet will have mini games on them, as well as procedurally generated inhabitants that are based off of the music for people to interact with. The creation of the geometry should happen instantly. As you are exploring each other’s planet, because users can travel between planets, as you are approaching a digital building, the artist's song will mildly play in the background, and identify that piece of digital building, environment, to the artist and song.
5. TITLE: "NUMBING A MILITARY SOLDIER'S SENSES"
"Hardening military personel's senses that might hesitate to eliminate a terrorist that could look photogenic/ underage/ or innocent when guilty."
With terrorism on the rise in Syria as well as the Middle East, it is possible that ISIS and groups similar will be recruiting underage children to execute terrorist activities that could put United States military soldiers or our allies at risk. A soldier, although well trained, could potentially hesitate to pull the trigger on an underage boy or girl that is carrying an explosive device or weapon. Through Virtual Reality Training, digital rigged models of underage characters with motion capture animation on them will approach the player/ soldier within the virtual environment, and the soldier will practice pulling a digital trigger which will kill the digital ISIS child. This will further train soldiers to numb their emotions when working in the Middle East should this situation arise.
Third party licensing to government, similar to Lockheed Martin, under new LLC entitled BZP RED delivering vr game in autodesk technology, possibly using Unreal.

Advertising and brand on avatars incorporated into Xbox, PS4 and Facebook. After taking a digital image of oneself and getting it to export with animation on an Xbox One, Playstation 4, Oculus VR, Microsoft Hololens, or Facebook browser, what are the different approaches to monetization on a typical free ware model. How is advertising and shopping behavior incorporated into avatars and virtual reality. Simply put, is it possible that with your avatar, you could contact Banana Republic or Hugo Boss and outfit your digital self playable in either the basic console operating system or in game in a Call of Duty?
What are the numerical values of music that can be applied to create a language for procedurally generating digital architecture. The visuals would bake out into architectural pieces and placed throughout a digital canvas. Ideally, this would enable a digital designer to import their entire iTunes library into this software and a virtual planet as seen in a "World of Warcraft" could be generated in seconds as opposed to a three year cycle.

Say what you will about Ridley Scott; the man knows how to do aliens. Specifically, that Alien, and no matter how familiar it all may feel, we’ll still go plunk down our dollars to be expertly terrified one more time.
The Alien: Covenant wildcards are these: Who is Katherine Waterston’s Daniels, and is she related to Ellen Ripley?
Whose side is this David — aka Walter, a rebuild of Prometheus‘ David — on?
And, what happened to Dr. Elizabeth Shaw aka supposed genius-type archeologist who thought following a killer Engineer was a good idea?
How many years later does the Covenant mission take place? What — how much — does David know about the aliens and the Engineers? I could probably go on for days, but I’m certain you’d rather just jump in and see the latest trailer. It feels oh so familiar, but just as freakily exciting and terrifying, and we still have a million questions.
Waterston is the perfect Ripley antecedent; even her look is similar to Ellen, I’m willing to bet she’s related. What we’re really dying to know though is, what exactly happened that sent this particular nastyball rolling in the first place? What could humanity have done to so offend those Engineers?
I’ll bet it was totally Trump.
Alien: Covenant stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Noomi Rapace, Danny McBride, Billy Crudup, Demián Bichir, Amy Seimetz, Carmen Ejogo, Callie Hernandez, Alexander England, James Franco, Nathaniel Dean and Jussie Smollett. Catch it in theaters beginning May 19, 2017. Previous trailer here.

After years of debate and preparation, Europe’s medicines verification system officially goes live today, meeting one of the key requirements of the Falsified Medicines Directive.
Starting tomorrow, prescription medicines dispensed in Europe will be verified at the point of dispensing by scanning a serialised, 2D datamatrix code that gives each pack a unique identity, and the contents of packs will be protected by a tamper-evident seal. The aim is to protect patients from being given a falsified medicine, or indeed drugs that have been expired or recalled.
In essence the system is simple, although that belies the IT years of hard work that has gone into designing it and getting to this stage of readiness on time and on budget.
The unique identifier (UID) codes are placed on packs by pharma manufacturers and parallel importers and uploaded to a European hub – the European Medicines Verification System (EMVS). Thereafter, dispensers and some intermediaries in the supply chain can scan the code to verify the pack’s authenticity, a process which occurs at the country level via the National Medicines Verification System (NMVS), with the EU hub connecting the national systems to make sure they work alongside each other.
Once a pack is scanned and verified, the UID is decommissioned, guarding against the possibility of a counterfeiter introducing multiple packs with an identical code into the system.
To be clear however, the system will not be entirely functional on day one, and in particular it will take some time before all the pharmacies, hospitals and medical practices tasked with verifying the medicines are up and running.
Stakeholders have agreed a pragmatic approach to implementation which means there will be time for all parties to get a better understanding of the system before enforcement of non-compliance kicks in, as that could threaten the medicines supply.
“It’s important to state that this the start of the process, not the end,” said Hugh Pullen (pictured right), president of the European Medicines Verification Organization (EMVO) that developed an operates the EMVS.
All of the European Economic Area (EEA) countries are now connected to the hub, with the exception of Italy and Greece which have an opt-out for the time being as they are already operating complementary verification schemes.
As of now around there are also almost 1,800 manufacturing authorization holders (MAH) who are connected, which account for upwards of 90% of all medicine packs distributed in the EU, according to Pullen. Packs already in the supply chain as of tomorrow (February 9) can still be dispensed even without the UID under the FMD’s grandfathering provisions.
There are likely to be some drugmakers – particularly smaller firms – that have yet to get the safety features implemented into their production, however, and from tomorrow they will technically be out of compliance with the FMD.
The picture is very different when it comes to dispensers of course, with recent estimates suggesting that around half of all pharmacies in the UK, for example, are still not ready to scan and verify medicines. Connecting the 140,000 or so community pharmacies, 5,000 hospital pharmacies and 2,000 dispensing doctors into the system in EEA countries is undeniably a mammoth task.
“We understand that several countries have opted for a soft launch” during the implementation phase, in other words national authorities have agreed to some flexibility with regard to connections and enforcement, said Pullen.
The unknowns now are how long this enforcement holiday will last, and indeed whether some national authorities will opt to take a harder line. There’s nothing in the wording of the regulations that specifies a timeline for dispensers to come fully into compliance.
In Ireland, the health ministry has said that the initial period of operation will be a ‘use and learn’ phase, although it too doesn’t specify how long that will extend.
Alerts generate during the initial phase should be forward to the Irish NMVO, the manufacturer of the medicine and the national regulatory authority, it says.
Pullen tells us that one of the areas where teething troubles may emerge in the early stages of the implementation is in the area of alerts, and particularly separating alerts linked to potential incidents of falsification from cases where there has been some data issue such as an incorrect format.
“It’s important in the early days that we are not submerged by alerts that are technical rather than related to falsification,” he notes.
There are also potentially considerations related to instances where there may be a connection failure with the system at the point of verification, something that has been covered in the hospital setting in a recent case study.
“EMVO will ensure that the system remains technical stable, secure and that any issues are ironed out without any disruption for patients or the pharmaceutical supply chain,” according to Pullen.
Europe certainly doesn’t have a big problem with falsified medicines, with the European Commission estimating that the prevalence of counterfeit medicines in the legal supply chain in Europe is around 0.005%, although most people are of course exposed to fakes when they purchase them through rogue online pharmacies.
Elsewhere in the world the picture is much bleaker, however, particularly in regions where the regulatory oversight of medicines isn’t strong. Pullen suggests the system set up by EMVO “could well serve as a blueprint for securing the supply of medicines outside of Europe” as well.
So assuming that all the actors in Europe’s medicines verification system come into compliance, does that mean there is no risk of coming across a counterfeit in the legitimate supply chain? This is an additional step to make an already safe supply chain even safer, says Pullen, but it is important not to be complacent.

Et alors, c'est pas chez nous, tu veux une news sur la moindre variation météo dans chaque pays du monde ?
Ce sont les pôles magnétiques qui bougent, comme ils l'ont toujours fait, tant qu'ils ne s'inversent pas c'est pas franchement un problème.
Faut pas confondre identité de climat et expression de météo.
On arrive dans un grand minimum solaire, l'année prochaine sera froide, très froide.
Are the most recent estimates for Maunder Minimum solar irradiance in agreement with temperature reconstructions?
" For all RCPs, a 21st‐century grand solar minimum with a TSI as estimated by Schrijver et al.  leads to global temperatures during 2071–2100 which are by 0.04°C lower as compared to a continuing 11‐year solar activity cycle. Note that our model underestimates the temperature response to the 11‐year solar cycle [Lean and Rind, 2008], thus a temperature offset of 0.1°C is a more realistic value. The temperature offset due to a minimum with a TSI value corresponding to Shapiro et al.'s  reconstruction is considerably larger (0.5°C), but rather unrealistic as shown for the reconstruction back to the Maunder Minimum. In any case, these values are smaller than the increase of global surface temperatures of 1.4–4.8°C relative to preindustrial times expected from the RCPs by 2100."
What influence will future solar activity changes over the 21st century have on projected global near‐surface temperature changes?
"Even in the event of the Sun entering a new Maunder Minimum like activity state the climate response is very small compared to the projected warming due to anthropogenic influences (the probability of this within the next 40 years has been estimated to be 8% by Lockwood . The projected warming of the HadCM3 model for the B2 SRES scenario is 2.55 K by the end of the 21st century with respect to the end of the 20th century and using the most recent TSI reconstructions, a Maunder Minimum like future change gives relative reductions of less than 0.13 K. There is a possibility that by the end of the 21st century solar activity returns to current levels, but as we assume there is a reduction of solar activity in the near future to “normal” levels there may still be a drop in temperature relative to the projected end of century warming. A sensitivity analysis assuming that the solar cycle response is larger than climate models simulate still produces small variations over what is projected because of anthropogenic forcings only. Only when an older TSI reconstruction is used and the response of climate models to solar influence amplified are more substantial variations found that could mitigate what is still a relatively small fraction of the projected anthropogenic warming, a scenario which we cannot rule out but given the latest assessment of TSI variations and understanding of the climate system we feel is unlikely."
The claims such as those in the Metro article are false. If you check the original story at Space Weather [the source of the quotes], there is no mention of a mini ice age, nor is there any mention of consequences for weather and climate at Earth’s surface.To emphasize, the cooling effects we are seeing in Earth’s thermosphere are a result of the current solar minimum conditions. The thermosphere is the layer of Earth’s atmosphere beginning 65 miles above Earth’s surface and is highly sensitive to solar activity. There is no relationship between the natural cycle of cooling and warming in the thermosphere and the weather/climate at Earth’s surface. NASA and other climate researchers continue to see a warming trend in the troposphere, the layer of atmosphere closest to Earth’s surface. There is no inconsistency between the science findings of a warming troposphere [where we live] and the Thermosphere Climate Index described above in the Space Weather article.
The term “mini ice age” is inherently misleading in the context of solar variations as it implies a global decrease in temperatures and at all times of year. This does not apply at all to the solar Maunder minimum. Temperature observations from central England show that summers during the Maunder minimum were, if anything, slightly warmer than average – indeed the third warmest summer in that record occurred in the middle of the Maunder minimum, just 2 years after the coldest winter. Hence there was certainly not the unremitting cold in the Maunder minimum that the term “mini ice age” implies. There is evidence that there was increased occurrence of cold winters during the Maunder minimum but this is an effect of jet stream behaviour specific to northern Europe and the USA and not a global ice age… Winters in northern Europe and the USA were colder but those in Greenland/Canada and southern Europe were warmer. This was not an “ice age” of any kind.
Le minimum solaire, c'est -8KW par mètre carré. Le réchauffement anthropique (qui s'est arrêté il y a déjà 20 ans malgré la hausse du CO2, admis par le GIEC lui même), ce serait +1 KW par mètre carré.
Les rechauffistes, toutes leur prédictions pour 2020 des années 80/90 se sont révélées fausses. Le modèle ne marche pas et est biaisé. Et leurs nouvelles prophéties nous promettent l'apocalypse dans un siècle, quand personne ne encore vivant d'ici la.
Comme elle le dit, dans un an, le soleil nous dira qui a raison.
Dans l'hémisphère nord, on a des étés très court et très chaud, et de longs hivers froids. C'est consistant avec le minimum solaire.
Le minimum solaire, c'est -8KW par mètre carré.
Cette estimation sortie du cul n'a jamais été publiée dans aucune revue scientifique. Même par Zharkova. Ses articles ne font aucunes estimations des variations du TSI. Les 8 W par m2 sont aussi un petit mensonge par omission en oubliant qu'il ne s'agit pas d'une estimation d'un forcing mais de l'irradiance sur une surface plate perpendiculaire au Soleil. Si on prend en compte que la Terre est une sphère, ça ne fait qu'une différence de 1.2 W par m2. Et c'est une estimation vachement extrême de la part de Zharkova, jamais publiée dans une revue. Les autres astrophysiciens ont des estimations bien plus basses (voir les quatre articles que je t'ai mis avant).
Les rechauffistes, toutes leur prédictions pour 2020 des années 80/90 se sont révélées fausses.
Si zarkhova présente ces chiffres (de mémoire) mais la plupart des versions sur youtube ont coupé son slide au montage, je l'ai vu qu'une seule fois il y a longtemps.
Puis oui je le souviens, on ne devait plus avoir de tempêtes de neiges (2001), les pays bas devaient être sous l'eau en 2020, etc et etc..
Pas du tout. Même Al Gore (qui exagère parfois) n'a pas dit ça.
Ce sont les données réelles. La fausse polémique de la crosse hockey n'avait rien à voir avec ça en plus. Tu es un épidermique on dirait. Je t'ai blessé dans tes convictions politiques ? Si des faits scientifiques perturbent tes convictions, tu devrais te poser des questions.
Leurs donnes ne sont pas réelles ils omettent toutes les mesures qui ne confirment pas leur théorie. (Climategate) ils le disent eux mêmes dans leurs échanges. La par exemple les -50° observés aux usa, tu ne les retrouvera jamais dans leur base de données.
2001 IPCC TAR (AR3) predicts that milder winter temperatures will decrease heavy snowstorms.
La liste est longue comme ça.

Dr Karl Hassan received $874,125 to identify why some bacteria are resistant to drugs, while Professor Rosalind Smith received $1,054,816 to examine women’s textual practice in the English Renaissance.
Announced yesterday by Minister for Education and Training, Simon Birmingham, the ARC Future Fellowships encourage research in areas of national priority.
ARC CEO, Professor Sue Thomas, welcomed the announcement of 100 new ARC Future Fellowships under the National Competitive Grants Program to undertake research and make new discoveries in areas of critical national importance.
“Through the ARC Future Fellowships scheme, we are supporting Australia’s next generation of research leaders.
“These new Future Fellowships are awarded to outstanding mid-career researchers, who will receive funding support for the next four years to undertake their innovative research in Australia,” Professor Thomas said.
Dr Hassan aims to develop fundamental knowledge of why some bacteria are resistant to antibiotics by investigating the cell envelope in Gram-negative bacteria, which functions as a permeability barrier to small molecules.
“Some Gram-negative bacteria are human pathogens and cause serious infections, whereas others are used in biotechnology for biosynthetic chemical production or bioremediation,” Dr Hassan said.
The project aims to help the future development of new antibiotics and assist in the design of strains to be used in biotechnological applications, such as the production of small molecules for use in more sustainable plastics.
Professor Smith will examine records of women’s reading and writing in the margins of their books from the 16th and 17th century to make new discoveries about how women used their books during that period.
The research will be the first investigation into the history of early modern women’s textual practice through the traces they left in their books, at a time when book production and distribution was first appearing on a larger scale.
The Australian Government committed $84.7 million to this year’s ARC Future Fellowships and a full list of the recipients can be accessed via the ARC website.

There are so many potential movie projects going on right now, it’s hard to keep track of them all — not only the number of potentials but the various roadblocks that may prevent them from becoming reality.
Mission: Impossible 4: At one point, star Tom Cruise and studio Paramount Pictures had a falling out. Now, things have been supposedly patched up. J.J. Abrams was supposed to come back to direct, but then he wasn’t. In recent news, Brad Bird of The Incredibles supposedly was in final negotiations to direct M:I 4.
There has been one consistent point in various reports. Paramount reportedly wants the movie out in time for Memorial Day 2011. Also Paramount is on sound financial footing, at least compared to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 007’s home studio. ODDS: 2-1.
Bond 23: Daniel Craig is seen as reinvigorating the 007 franchise so you’d think a third movie featuring Craig as Bond would be a natural. Ah, but, MGM, which controls half the franchise, is in financial trouble. Eon Productions apparently has Sam Mendes onboard as director. But Eon isn’t going to finance any movie and the production company, at least for now, is held hostage by MGM’s wheeling and dealing. ODDS: 4-1.
UPDATED: With the announcement that Eon has suspended development of Bond 23 because of uncertainty related to MGM, we have to revise this outlook.
New (serious) Matt Helm movie: This has been kicking around for awhile. Steven Spielberg reportedly was interested in directing, then he wasn’t. It’s a great idea, but there hasn’t a Matt Helm novel published since 1993 and his creator, Donald Hamilton, died in 2006, with an unpublished final novel on the shelf. We’ll believe it when we see it. ODDS: 10-1.
As Peter Parker used to say, “My Spider Sense is tingling!” ODDS: 100-1.

During the course of protein synthesis in the cell, the translation process is often terminated due to various reasons. As a result, peptidyl-tRNA molecules are released which are toxic to the cell as well reducing the availability of free amino acid and tRNA molecules for the required protein synthesis in the cell. Such a situation is corrected by an enzyme, Pth (peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase), which catalyses the release of free tRNA and peptide moieties from peptidyl-tRNAs. This means that the active Pth is essential for the survival of bacteria. In order to design inhibitors of PaPth (Pth from Pseudomonas aeruginosa), we determined the structures of PaPth in its native and bound states with compounds amino acylate-tRNA analogue and 5-azacytidine. The structure determination of the native protein revealed that the substrate-binding site was partially occupied by Glu161 from the neigh-bouring molecule. The structure of PaPth indicated that the substrate-binding site can be broadly divided into three distinct subsites. The structures of the two complexes showed that the amino acylate-tRNA analogue filled three subsites, whereas 5-azacytidine filled two subsites. The common sugar and the base moieties of the two compounds occupied identical positions in the cleft. Using surface plasmon resonance, the dissociation constants for the amino acylate-tRNA analogue and 5-azacytidine were found to be 3.53×10-8 M and 5.82×10-8 M respectively.

It was a pretty busy day today. My dad had his 70th birthday party (a little over a month late) and we were at his house most of the day as a result talking to friends and relatives. However, we were able to duck out of the party for about 30 minutes to help out a good cause too.
There was a small fundraiser at Swan Park today meant to help out the local homeless shelter. So, we took some cans of food with us and (after having to run back to my house for some cash) the four of us each took a turn at the dunk tank, where our church's priest volunteered to sit on the dunk chair.
Overall, we did pretty well getting him wet too. My oldest daughter, Azalea, knocked him into the water twice, something that really surprised me considering she's normally not that accurate throwing a ball. Her younger sister, Summer, wasn't as successful. She hit the target but her hands were too small to get a good grip on the ball and there wasn't enough power behind it. However, another participant decided to pay the $10 to just push the button and was kind enough to let her be the one to do it.
Glad everyone had a good time, both at Arts party & at the park...& that was a really nice thing to let Summer do...glad that Azalea was able to get a picture of you throwing the ball!
