Current Status of Arctic and Antarctic Sea Ice Coverage
As we approach the time of year of the peak of areal coverage of Arctic sea ice and the minimum areal coverage in Antarctic sea ice, Climate Science is presenting a status report based on the excellent data analysis provided at the University of Illinois website The Cryosphere Today. The coverage for January 31 2008 is about 900,000 square kilometers below average for the Arctic [Northern Hemisphere] (see) and about 500,000 square kilometers above average for the Antarctic [Southern Hemisphere] (see). The Illinois website has also introduced an effective display of past Arctic sea ice coverage at the same time of the year (see Compare Daily Sea Ice).
What has not been discussed, however, with respect to the global sea ice coverage is the relationship to albedo weighted by the time of year (i.e., an insolation-weighted albedo). We presented this concept in our papers
Pielke Sr., R.A., G.E. Liston, and A. Robock, 2000: Insolation-weighted assessment of Northern Hemisphere snow-cover and sea-ice variability. J. Geophys. Res. Lett., 27, 3061-3064.
Pielke Sr., R.A., G.E. Liston, W.L. Chapman, and D.A. Robinson, 2004: Actual and insolation-weighted Northern Hemisphere snow cover and sea ice — 1974-2002. Climate Dynamics, 22, 591-595 DOI10.1007/s00382-004-0401-5.
In our second paper, the abstract reads
"Actual and insolation-weighted Northern Hemisphere snow cover and sea ice are binned by latitude bands for the years 1973–2002. Antarctic sea-ice is also analyzed for the years 1980–2002. The use of insolation weighting provides an improved estimate of the radiative feedbacks of snow cover and sea-ice into the atmosphere. One conclusion of our assessment is that while a decrease in both areal and insolation weighted values have occurred, the data does not show a monotonic decrease of either Arctic sea-ice or Northern Hemisphere snow cover. If Arctic perennial sea-ice is decreasing since the total reduction in areal coverage is relatively small, a large portion of it is being replenished each year such that its radiative feedback to the atmosphere is muted. Antarctic sea-ice areal cover shows no significant long-term trend, while there is a slight decrease in the insolation-weighted values for the period 1980–2002. From the early 1990s to 2001, there was a slight increase in both values. The comparison of general circulation model simulations of changes over the last several decades to observed changes in insolation weighted sea-ice and snow cover should be a priority research topic."Unfortunately, the IPCC did not make such an assessment (of insolation-weighted albedo) a priority.
With the data now available up through January 2008, it is clear that the global sea ice insolation-weighted albedo, using the methodology in our papers, is a global average negative radiative feedback at present (January 2008), as the above average sea ice coverage in the summertime in the Antarctic dominates this climate metric in the global average. This feedback is larger also since the Earth is closer to the Sun in January. If the Arctic sea ice areal coverage is again lower this northern hemispheric summer, this would be a global average positive radiative feedback.
Climate Science recommends the presentation of this insolation-weighted albedo on website such as at the University of Illinois and the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

A Significant Warm Bias With The Diagnosis Of A Global Average Surface Temperature Anomaly To Diagnose Global Warming – Part II From Our JGR Paper
Part I of this series of weblogs (see), discussed the serious limited value of the use of a global average surface temperature anomaly to diagnose the global radiative imbalance (i.e., global climate heat system changes). In Part II, we discuss another serious issue that we raised in our paper
Pielke Sr., R.A., C. Davey, D. Niyogi, S. Fall, J. Steinweg-Woods, K. Hubbard, X. Lin, M. Cai, Y.-K. Lim, H. Li, J. Nielsen-Gammon, K. Gallo, R. Hale, R. Mahmood, S. Foster, R.T. McNider, and P. Blanken, 2007: Unresolved issues with the assessment of multi-decadal global land surface temperature trends. J. Geophys. Res., 112, D24S08, doi:10.1029/2006JD008229.
Today's weblog discusses Section 3 in this paper entitled
"Difficulties With the Use of Observed Nocturnal Warming Trends as a Measure of Climate Trends"
Because the land portion of the global average surface temperature trend is constructed using the average of the minimum and maximum daily temperatures, if there is a bias in either one of these temperatures, there will be a bias in the trends.
In our JGR paper and in our follow up study
Lin, X., R.A. Pielke Sr., K.G. Hubbard, K.C. Crawford, M. A. Shafer, and T. Matsui, 2007: An examination of 1997-2007 surface layer temperature trends at two heights in Oklahoma. Geophys. Res. Letts., 34, L24705, doi:10.1029/2007GL031652.
we have identified such a bias.
The bias is straightforward to describe. If there is overall warming of the lowest levels of the atmosphere at night (i.e. the nocturnal boundary layer), observations of this warming near the surface overstates the warming simply because warming trends are not distributed evenly in the lower atmosphere. Similarly, if the nocturnal boundary layer experienced an overall cooling trend, the trend would be overstated with measurents taken at and near the surface.
We have documented this bias both using boundary layer theory (see Pielke and Matsui 2005) and confirmed with observations (see Lin et al. 2007).
We concluded in the Lin et al. 2007 paper cited above that
"Our results also indicate that the 1.5 or 2 m minimum long term temperature trends over land are not the same as the minimum long term temperatures at other heights within the surface boundary layer (e.g., 9 m), even over relatively flat landscapes such as Oklahoma. For landscapes with more terrain relief, this difference is expected to be even larger. Therefore, the use of minimum temperatures at 1.5 or 2 m for interpreting climate system heat change is not appropriate. This means that the 1.5 to 2 m observations of minimum temperatures that are used as part of the analysis to assess climate system heat changes (e.g., such as used to construct Figure SPM-3 of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Parker lead to a greater long term temperature trend than would be found if higher heights within the surface boundary layer were used. Our exploration of near-surface lapse rate changes including wind effects should, therefore, be extended to longer-term time series as well as cover larger spatial areas."
The quantification of the magnitude of this bias has not been completed, but it is certainly significant, as shown below.
Back of the Envelope Estimate of Bias in Minimum Temperature Measurements
To present a preliminary estimate, lets start with the value reported for the recent trend in the global average surface temperature. The 2007 IPCC Report presents a global average surface temperature increase of about 0.2C per decade since 1990 (see their Figure SPM.3). Their trend is derived from the average of the maximum and minimum surface temperatures; i.e.,
T(average) = [T(max) + T(min)]/2.
From our papers (Pielke and Matsui 2005 and Lin et al. 2007), a conservative estimate of the warm bias resulting from measuring the temperature near the ground is around 0.21 C per decade (with the nightime T(min) contributing a large part of this bias) . Since land covers about 29% of the Earth's surface (see), the warm bias due to this influence explains about 30% of the IPCC estimate of global warming. In other words, consideration of the bias in temperature would reduce the IPCC trend to about 0.14 degrees C per decade, still a warming, but not as large as indicated by the IPCC.
This is likely an underestimate, of course, as the value is not weighted for the larger bias that must occur at higher latitudes in the winter when the boundary layer is stably stratified most of the time even in the "daytime" Moreover, the warm bias over land in the high latitudes in the winter will be even larger than at lower latitudes, as the nightime surface layer of the atmosphere is typically more stably stratified than at lower latitudes, and this magnifies the bias in the assessment of temperature trends using surface and near surface measurements. [not coincidently, this is also where the largest warming is claimed; e.g., see the map on Andy Revkin's Dot Earth's weblog].
Land is also a higher fraction of the Earth's surface at middle and higher latitudes in the northern hemisphere and at the highest latitudes in the southern hemisphere (see).
The documentation of this warm bias is found in the peer-reviewed literature [see also Walters et al. 2007)], and thus should be refuted or used in analyses such as that found in Figure SPM.3 in the 2007 IPCC Report. Thus far, this bias had been ignored.
Climate Science will present Part III in this series of presentations on our JGR paper within the next week or so.

Important New Research Paper Published – Reconstructed Historical Land Cover And Biophysical Parameters For Studies Of Land-Atmosphere Interactions Within The Eastern United States"
An important new research paper has appeared which documents how dynamic human land management has been in altering the landscape component of the climate system. This seminal paper is
Steyaert, L.T., and R.G. Knox, 2008: Reconstructed historical land cover and biophysical parameters for studies of land-atmosphere interactions within the eastern United States, J. Geophys. Res., 113, D02101, doi:10.1029/2006JD008277.
"Over the past 350 years, the eastern half of the United States experienced extensive land cover changes. These began with land clearing in the 1600s, continued with widespread deforestation, wetland drainage, and intensive land use by 1920, and then evolved to the present-day landscape of forest regrowth, intensive agriculture, urban expansion, and landscape fragmentation. Such changes alter biophysical properties that are key determinants of land-atmosphere interactions (water, energy, and carbon exchanges). To understand the potential implications of these land use transformations, we developed and analyzed 20-km land cover and biophysical parameter data sets for the eastern United States at 1650, 1850, 1920, and 1992 time slices. Our approach combined potential vegetation, county-level census data, soils data, resource statistics, a Landsat-derived land cover classification, and published historical information on land cover and land use. We reconstructed land use intensity maps for each time slice and characterized the land cover condition. We combined these land use data with a mutually consistent set of biophysical parameter classes, to characterize the historical diversity and distribution of land surface properties. Time series maps of land surface albedo, leaf area index, a deciduousness index, canopy height, surface roughness, and potential saturated soils in 1650, 1850, 1920, and 1992 illustrate the profound effects of land use change on biophysical properties of the land surface. Although much of the eastern forest has returned, the average biophysical parameters for recent landscapes remain markedly different from those of earlier periods. Understanding the consequences of these historical changes will require land-atmosphere interactions modeling experiments. "
The conclusion has the text
"The eastern half of the United States has experienced extensive land cover transformations over the past 350 years. Land use change has fundamentally altered the land cover of entire vegetation regions (e.g., wetland forests in the lower Great Lakes region and lower Mississippi River floodplain, tallgrass prairie, and southeastern pine savannas and open woodlands). Forest management practices, pests, and disease have modified forest composition and structure. Wetlands have been converted by intensive agriculture, plantation forestry, flood control, navigable waterway development, and urban development. Few areas of the eastern United States have escaped considerable alteration by human land management. (Even these have been exposed to increases in the average partial pressure of atmospheric CO2, enhanced nitrogen deposition, and changing distributions of anthropogenic aerosols, as well as numerous human-introduced pests, pathogens, and invasive exotic competitors.) Although seminatural vegetation reestablished on many former cutover or agricultural lands during the 20th century, it typically persists in landscapes fragmented by transportation corridors, residential-urban development, agriculture, industrial forestry, and other intensive land uses. Recent land cover provides an insufficient basis for understanding the functional responses and feedbacks of historical land cover. Modeling experiments and sensitivity tests incorporating coupled land-atmosphere interactions are needed to understand and quantify the feedbacks, interregional connections, and integrated consequences of these land cover and land use changes."
Two figures from their paper dramatically illustrate the substantial amount that land surface climate forcings have changed. To illustrate the magnitude of this effect, if the value of solar radiation received at the ground were 600 Watts per meter squared, a change in albedo of 12% to 16%, translates to a 24 Watt per meter squared increase in solar energy absorbed at the surface.
This paper, therefore, represents a landmark study for the use of the climate modeling community in order to quantify the role of human land management effects on the climate system, relative to other human climate forcings.

Additional Research Articles On the 2003 European Heat Wave
In 2006 we published a paper on the 2003 European heat wave titled
Chase, T.N., K. Wolter, R.A. Pielke Sr., and Ichtiaque Rasool, 2006: Was the 2003 European summer heat wave unusual in a global context? Geophys. Res. Lett., 33, L23709, doi:10.1029/2006GL027470.
William W. Connolley questioned our results and decided to investigate this issue himself (we need more such open-minded climate scientists!). He has confirmed our results in his article
Connolley W. M. (2008), Comment on "Was the 2003 European summer heat wave unusual in a global context?" by Thomas N. Chase et al., Geophys. Res. Lett., 35, L02703, doi:10.1029/2007GL031171,
where he wrote
"Figure 1 largely replicates Figure 2 of CO6 [CO6 is the Chase et al paper].
He wrote that the shallowness of the extreme temperature values.
"….. may well indicate a strong role for surface drying in causing the 2003 event [Ferranti and Viterbo, 2006]; though Black et al. [2004] have suggested a role for large-scale anomalies leading to the surface drying."
Our reply to his comment was published at the same time as his comment;
Chase T. N., K. Wolter, R. A. Pielke Sr., I. Rasool (2008), Reply to comment by W. M. Connolley on "Was the 2003 European summer heat wave unusual in a global context?", Geophys. Res. Lett., 35, L02704, doi:10.1029/2007GL031574.
Our main conclusion from our 2006 paper has been independently confirmed by William Connolley. We wrote in our 2008 Chase et al Reply;
"Assuming the near-surface temperature measurements are spatially representative, the conclusion that the heat wave was a shallow phenomenon in terms of its unusualness argues against the point of view that it was a direct manifestation of the effects of increased atmospheric CO2..…. we … conclude that land surface conditions (low soil moisture) are the likely direct cause for such an "unusual" event near the surface."
Thus, those who claim that the 2003 European heat wave is evidence of global warming are, therefore, ignoring peer reviewed literature on this subject. Instead, it appears that land surface forcing, as has been so repeatedly emphasized on Climate Science, is the main reason for the extreme heat right near the surface. Attempting to mitigate such heat waves by focusing only on CO2 emission reductions will not reduce the risk from these weather events. Clearly, adaptation must also play a major role through deliberate land management practices to reduce the threats from heat waves.

Comment By Chris Colose On Water Vapor Feedback
There is a posting on the weblog Climate Change An Analysis of Key Questions entitled "How not to discuss the Water Vapor feedback" by Chris Colose with respect to the Climate Science set of weblogs on the subject Climate Metric Reality Check #3 – Evidence For A Lack Of Water Vapor Feedback On The Regional Scale.
Chris Colose has the following issues with the Climate Science weblog:
1. He states that the roughly constant relative humidity of the atmosphere "is an emergent property in models, not a built-in assumption".
This is certainly true (the models do predict this response), but the models themselves are hypothesis, constructed with parametrization of physical processes. Thus, the emergence of a roughly constant relative humidity in a model needs to compared (tested) with real world data, and this is where the assumption of a nearly constant relative humidity does not appear to be occurring recently, at least for regions where the data is available to compare.
2. He concludes, with citations of two papers (see and see) that a nearly constant relative humidity with an increase in temperature is "confirmed by real world observations.."
However, these two papers do not confirm this. The first paper only deals with surface humidity (which as shown on Climate Science is very significantly altered by land use ; e.g. see), while the second paper shows no trend in absolute humidity since 1998 (see their Figure 1) despite ssurface temperature increasing since then! Indeed, plotting the model data since 1900 is disingenuous, since there is no data to compare with.
3. He reports that "[t] he point about relative humidity remaining constant applies mainly to global scale averages."
This is an important admission, and he needs to elaborate on this statement. The second paper that he lists as supporting his conclusion on a roughly constant relative humidity is for the oceans from 50N to 50S, so that already conflicts with his statement about applying mainly to global scale averages. In fact, to construct a global average, we need to obtain the data and regional and smaller scales, which is what we have done in our paper
Wang, J.-W., K. Wang, R.A. Pielke, J.C. Lin, and T. Matsui, 2007: Does an atmospheric warming trend lead to a moistening trend over North America?Geophys. Res. Letts., in revision.
4. He states that it is the "upper levels [of the atmosphere] which are radiatively significant". He also writes "[i]n fact, as specific humidity changes in a warming climate, around 90% of the radiative response is dominated by the mid to upper atmosphere (above 800 millibars), with more effect in tropical latitudes."
It is true that the upper levels are radiatively important. However, so are the lower levels, as Chris acknowledged where he wrote "[s]urface radiative fluxes are most sensitive to specific humidity variations in the lower troposphere".
Climate Science Conclusion
Thus, while we agree that it is important to monitor the changes in water vapor in the upper atmosphere, it is also as important to monitor the depth-integrated water vapor (precipitable water). Our weblogs on the subject of regional trends in precipitable water are a part of this discussion, and we welcome Chris Colose joining in this important scientific debate.

Modeling the impact of historical land cover change on Australia's regional climate
There is a very important new paper that highlights the role of land surface processes, including its human management, as an integral component of climate variability and change. The paper is
McAlpine C. A., J. Syktus, R. C. Deo, P. J. Lawrence, H. A. McGowan, I. G. Watterson, S. R. Phinn (2007), Modeling the impact of historical land cover change on Australia's regional climate, Geophys. Res. Lett., 34, L22711, doi:10.1029/2007GL031524.
"The Australian landscape has been transformed extensively since European settlement. However, the potential impact of historical land cover change (LCC) on regional climate has been a secondary consideration in the climate change projections. In this study, we analyzed data from a pair of ensembles (10 members each) for the period 1951–2003 to quantify changes in regional climate by comparing results from pre-European and modern-day land cover characteristics. The results of the sensitivity simulations showed the following: a statistically significant warming of the surface temperature, especially for summer in eastern Australia (0.4–2C) and southwest Western Australia (0.4–0.8C); a statistically significant decrease in summer rainfall in southeast Australia; and increased surface temperature in eastern regions during the 2002/ 2003 El Nino drought event. The simulated magnitude and pattern of change indicates that LCC has potentially been an important contributing factor to the observed changes in regional climate of Australia."
The conclusions read,
"The findings of our sensitivity experiment indicate that replacing the native woody vegetation with crops and grazing in southwest Western Australia and eastern Australia has resulted in significant changes in regional climate, with a shift to warmer and drier conditions, especially in southeast Australia, the nation's major agricultural region. The simulated changes in Australia's regional climate suggest that LCC is likely a contributing factor to the observed trends in surface temperature and rainfall at the regional scale. While formal attribution studies are required, the outcomes raise important questions about the impact of LCC on Australia's regional climate, and highlight a strong feedback effect between LCC and the severity of recent droughts impacting on Australia's already stressed natural resources and agriculture."
This a very important paper, and yet another example of an issue concering climate change that was mostly ignored by the IPCC assessment.

Comment on Andy Revkin's New York Times Weblog "Dot Earth"
Andy Revkin has started a dialog on the policy statements of professional organizations with respect to the role of humans within the climate system on his weblo Dot Earth.
Please enter this discussion if you are a credentialed climate scientist. My comment that I have submitted is
"Andy – Thank you for bring this issue up. There is actually considerable diversity of views on the role of humans within the climate system. The AGU (and AMS) policy statements are actually written by just a few individuals. While this captures their views, it is incorrect and inaccurate to present these policy statements as a consensus of these professional organizations. These policy statements certainly do not represent my views on this issue.
Readers of your weblog should also visit my Climate Science weblog [http://climatesci.org/], where other viewpoints are presented, including that of a 2005 National Research Council report entitled
Radiative forcing of climate change: Expanding the concept and addressing uncertainties [http://www.nap.edu/openbook/0309095069/html/]."
I also urge you, for completeness, to post the policy statement of the AGU Natural Hazards Committee.

Believe it or not, buying and selling websites and blogs for a profit was a fairly foreign concept to me before deciding to sell Blogging Experiment. Since then however, I couldn't help but learn a few things about the subject. Today I'm going to cover a few of the basic premises of flipping a website. Don't worry, this won't be too in-depth (I'll leave that to Max, if you haven't yet watched his video you should) but hopefully this will get the old juices flowing and maybe even give you an idea or two.
This can be easy or hard depending on the market. The internet does go through little spells of ups and downs and in the process some good websites get sold quickly at a bargain price. This would obviously be an ideal choice for the flip. You buy it, hold it for a bit, get some revenue on record, and then sell it when the market gets stronger. Unfortunately you will not find this too often. You'll have to fight some of your base instincts and look for a bad website.
This doesn't mean you should buy complete trash. You're going to have to look for a website that has some horrible mistake, one that just jumps off the screen and makes you want to close it. This can be a poor design choice, an awful color scheme, an incomplete menu, etc.
If you find this then take a minute and examine the content to see if it's any good. In general you won't find it worthwhile to fix bad content. Adding new information to a half-decent website makes sense, so don't be turned off if the website doesn't have enough. Rewriting the entire website is going to be incredibly time consuming though. Unless the domain name is golden then you would be in almost the same place as if you just started from scratch. In all honesty, there isn't an ugly site or blog out there that can't be repaired with some tender loving care. So, if the content is decent and the domain name is workable the next step is to start working the math for it.
Doing the math will help you to figure out how much the site will actually cost. I can't really work out a scenario that will apply to everyone. Different problems require unique fixes with unique costs and no two websites are going to present the same problems. You'll just have to work out the estimates as best as you can. The important step is to etimate the damage the last owner has done to it and decide whether you can fix it yourself, and if not, how much the proper coder will cost. You'll probably want to have a better design and make the menu look more stylish. The header and logo almost always need a revamp on flipped sites too. Also include the cost of any marketing you plan on doing as well as any operating costs (paid authors, hosting fees, licenses etc) and you'll have a pretty good flip estimate.
Use your estimate to decide what you'll bid and set a firm cutoff in your mind. While you're at it see if there is a similar finished site for sale somewhere else and get a realistic idea of the possible sale price once you're done with it. Flipping depends on selling the website at a good profit. This is obviously much easier if you don't pay an arm and a leg for it in the first place. All that's left for you to do at this point is watch and wait for the auction to wrap up. If you lose, just move on to the next opportunity. If you win, throw your plan into action and let the flip begin.
As I said, this is a VERY basic overview of site flipping and I'm far from an expert. But if this sounds like the type of thing you'd like to try, consider signing up for the course Max is offering. A small investment early on will save you a lot of time and money in the long run.
I hope domain squatters read these kinds of posts and realise that they will not sell their domain names unless they offer value in terms of some kind of website that is built and established.
Selling websites is always harder than buying. For some reason people will never want to give you a fair price. A lot of people don't understand bartering. Both sides need to give a little to get to a price thats liked.
On a separate note, Good to see a post from you Ben.
I think selling websites is much easier. The reason people have trouble selling their sites and getting the price they are asking is because their site is not as valuable as they think. If you build strong websites that have nice traffic, good profits and good rankings, you will have buyers fighting over the chance to buy your site.
If you want to get $20,000 for a website that gets little traffic and makes $300 per month, then yes selling will be difficult.
Interesting. I have been doing some research on this subject lately. I "wholesale" houses so the concept is pretty much the same.
Find a bargain and pass it on to a bargain hunter.
Cool. And I agree with the argument that max made above. If you have a desirable product and market it right, you'll sell it.
I guess the challenge is to get to $20K a month on a site?
Exactly, but isn't that why we all read this site.
As a former and current "domain squatter" (I prefer investor by the way) I have had and continue to own plenty of names that are valuable for their name as a generic term all by themselves (no content needed). That's not to say I couldn't make more if I didn't develop them, but in some instances there is no need.
It sounds interesting Ben. Is it really as simple as just making the site look better, or are there other things to consider – eg. doing things to increase the profits etc first?
It is hard to sell websites, today, people only buy websites is they could find a good juice into it like a good PR, a good traffic, a good revenue, a good number of suscribers or others things like that.

America's Workplaces Are Hostile to Families
by Michelle Chen
(Credit: Charina Nadura)
Childbearing gets a little more bearable for working women this year, with various new state and city policies to accommodate the needs of pregnant and parenting workers.
In several states, including Delaware, Illinois, Minnesota and West Virginia and several cities, workers can now request modest adjustments to their jobs due to pregnancy, with greater protection against employment discrimination. Though coverage of the laws may vary according to the size of the firm, these policies generally build on federal anti-discrimination protections by mandating "reasonable" accommodation for pregnancy-related conditions, unless the company can prove that doing so poses "undue hardship."
Additionally, California and several cities, including New York, have adopted paid sick days policies, enabling workers — particularly single parents struggling in low-wage jobs — to take time off to tend to family medical needs, without sacrificing pay. Nationwide, three states and 16 cities have passed paid sick days laws. At the same time, according to the National Partnership for Women and Families, "nearly four in 10 private sector workers can't earn paid sick days."
Broadly speaking, these policies represent a glacial shift in workplace culture from viewing pregnancy and family caregiving as a costly liability, to a recognition that workers need more than a paycheck to support their households over the course of life's natural progression — progression that's more open and diverse, but also more unstable, compared to the days of June Cleaver.
Hopefully, the policies will protect workers like Hilda Guzzman, who was forced to stand while working her cashier job at Dollar Tree until the bleeding and pain forced her into the emergency room. Surveys show that pregnant workers often can be accommodated with just minor adjustments, like extra bathroom breaks or time off for a prenatal care doctor's visit — the biggest barrier seems to be the stubbornness of employers and the stereotypical notion that a pregnant woman is "not fit" for work.
Pregnant worker laws and other family-based labor protections are a baby step toward giving working-class women the kinds of choices that have historically been concentrated among affluent professional women, despite the fact that the poor need these protections more. Andrew Cherlin, a social policy professor at Johns Hopkins University, tells The Nation via e-mail:
Working-class women are less likely to have the kinds of jobs that accommodate to pregnancies and to child care responsibilities. Yet given the declining wages of working-class men, the need for working-class women to work is greater than ever…. But the lack of workplace flexibility that working-class women often face makes it very difficult to combine wage-earning with pregnancy or childcare.
The economic divide in the workplace reflects the trend Cherlin explores in his recent book Labor's Love Lost. Tracking the decline in marriage rates in the postwar era, Cherlin argues that structural economic shifts have undermined "traditional" working-class family structures, while at the same time punishing families for not conforming to an obsolete stereotype of a nuclear family.
Over the past half-century, women entered the workforce as educational and economic opportunities expanded (especially for middle-class white women). At the same time, thanks to modern technology and cultural trends, Cherlin writes, "the logic of childbearing shifted from quantity to quality" and women had greater opportunities to assert their economic autonomy and raise families on their own. Well, at least some did.
Actually, while middle-class professional women surge forward, a pernicious class divide condemns poorer women into a dual burden of economic hardship and family caregiving pressures. This is in part reflected in declining marriage rates. The oft-lamented meltdown of the "nuclear family" isn't caused by the loss of "family values," but, rather, shows how regressive policies fail to value families.
Falling marriage rates may reflect social progress (women's liberation) as well as social instability (impoverishment affects relationships), Cherlin argues: The problem is that economic realities and welfare policy have failed to keep pace with either the economy or contemporary culture.
Cherlin argues that it makes sense that our culture is moving away from the stereotypical heteronormative married household model. But as marriage rates slip, "the problem of the fall of the working-class family from its midcentury peak, then, is not that the male-breadwinner family has declined — it would eventually have collapsed under its own weight. The problem is that nothing stable has replaced it."
Although a working parent doesn't need to be married to provide stability, Cherlin argues that attaining the kind of social and economic stability needed for a kid to thrive is increasingly difficult, sometimes impossible, for the working poor. Pervasive economic insecurity — resulting from the decline of manufacturing industries, the erosion of unions, the gutting of welfare programs and widening wealth gaps — means a young person might have trouble committing to any relationship amid such tumult.
"By the time they are age 40, the highly educated are more likely to have ever been married than are those with less education," according to Cherlin. "The less educated, in contrast, lack the confidence that they will be able to find a partner who can also help to sustain a good marriage and their doubts are well founded. The financial stability that they consider adequate may never appear."
But the problem isn't that people are turning away from marriage, as conservatives argue (a rhetoic laden with ugly racial and gender stereotypes). If we want the security and emotional well-being that used to be associated with marriage, there's no turning back the clock, nor should there be. Cherlin suggests that to move social policy in a progressive direction state institutions need to fulfill the social needs that used to tether people to the institution of marriage. Families of all varieties, single or coupled, married or not, need support. More generous workplace benefits and anti-discrimination policies for working women, paradoxically, might have two divergent effects, Cherlin says: "it can allow them to bear and raise children independently of men." But it could also make it more possible to build stable, long-term romantic partnerships (in or out of wedlock).
The bottom line is that equitable welfare policy provides women a fuller range of options for finding social contentment. Despite the conservative hand-wringing, marriage itself was never a "cure" for social problems. The institution served as a proxy for social goods and relationships that allowed people to live full lives. We're all entitled to pursue that happiness — and we shouldn't have to put a ring on it.

With a dry wit and an undauntable faith, Alfred "Al" Dykema lived a heart-centered life rich in family and community. With quiet confidence and a steadfast spirit, Al was a comfort to all. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Al humbly gave of his talents, time, and wisdom. Respected by many, Al will long be held as an inspiration to all who were blessed to know him.
1946 was a year marked by much celebration and hope. With the victorious end of World War II, families tuned into the celebratory tunes of Bing Crosby, Perry Como, and the Andrews Sisters, while children delighted in the debut of the slinky. While the nation relished in a renewed sense of peace and newfound hope, even greater promise for the future was celebrated by Al and Tannie (Decker) Dykema as they welcomed their son Alfred Jr. into their hearts and home on November 29 in Chicago, Illinois.
Named after his father, Al often went by "Junior" as a kid. The third of four children, Al enjoyed the good company of his older siblings Carol and Peter and his younger brother Wayne. Growing up in Roseland, Illinois, Al attended Roseland Christian School during his elementary and junior high days. He and his brothers shared a bedroom and even a bed for many years. Together, the three boys made an art of finding mischief when they weren't fighting and wrestling. Al also found some mischief on his own. As Peter grew out of his lawn mowing and paper route, Al stepped in and took them over. Once a year the family traveled to North Dakota to visit Alfred Sr.'s family.
As a teen, Al attended Fenger High School where the woodshop classes he was keen to pursue were offered. An eager student, Al honed his trade and quickly found work at Englewood Stove after graduating from high school. He loved his work and felt privileged to learn more about his community as the job often took him to some very interesting neighborhoods.
In May of 1966, Al enlisted in the Navy's Construction Battalion more commonly known as the Seabees. It was in the Seabees that Al continued to grow his skills while continuing to be of service to others; the Seabees "CAN DO!" philosophy was a natural fit for Al.
During one of his leaves, Al had the good fortune of meeting Lois Hommes when they were set up on a blind date. They spent their first date attending a ball game, seeing "My Fair Lady, and then going out for dinner. Soon Al and Lois were an official couple.
While away on his two tours in Vietnam, the couple continued their courtship via letters. During one of his leaves, Al proposed to Lois and they began their plans to marry soon after he arrived home for good. On July 26, 1969, the happy couple exchanged their vows in a wedding ceremony at her church, West Evergreen Christian Reformed Church. After marrying, Al and Lois moved up to the Great Lakes Naval Base for the last part of his duty.
Once Al completed his duty and was discharged from the Navy, he and Lois moved to Grand Rapids where his brother Peter was living. After three years of some short-term housing, they moved into what would become their longtime home on Coit Ave NE. Here they created the home where they lovingly raised their three children, Julie, Steve, and Paul.
Al was a humble and hardworking provider for his family. His work ethic was impeccable as evidenced by his diligent and faithful service. A talented woodworker, he worked on high-end office furniture and enjoyed the freedom of working with his hands just as his father had before him. For ten years Al worked at Conway Lumber Company before securing a job at Nucraft where he made his career for the next 32 years. At home, Al was an active and loving father. He was very involved in his children's lives and particularly enjoyed taking them fishing and on fantastic vacations. The family traveled the United States from border to border and coast to coast, always camping along the way. The annual Camporee was a highlight as family vacations were usually planned three years ahead according to the location. Every vacation included stops at National Parks, and for many years, they used a canvas tent. It was only after the kids were grown and done with school that he and Lois upgraded to a travel trailer.
Rarely one to sit still for long, Al preferred to be busy. A natural born tinkerer, Al always had a project going. He also enjoyed the outdoors and was always up for a good walk. Driven to use his skills to help others, Al became involved in Calvinist Cadets Corps "Cadets" where he loved the opportunity to work with kids. He found great joy in teaching them to use their hands, grow their skills, make connections, and most importantly, teach them what it means to "Live for Jesus." Known by many as "Mr. Al," his heart for kids was evident in the number of lives he touched and inspired over the years. Al embodied his faith and proved a powerful role model for all of the youth he worked with over the years. In him, they witnessed a life centered in love and acceptance, forgiveness and faith, the gift of a quiet listening ear, an unwavering belief in people's capacity for greatness, and a life graciously lived in service of the Lord. For over 42 years Al volunteered with Cadets. Al also volunteered locally with Riverside CRC, and volunteered with the Council, where he served in several roles through the years. Al looked forward to volunteering weekly at Feeding America, supplying food for underprivileged families, and monthly at Kids Food Basket where he helped prepare lunches for local school-aged children.
Through the years, Al enjoyed the adventures of traveling to all 50 states, catching Alaska in celebration of his 40th wedding anniversary with Lois, and Churchill, Manitoba for their 45th anniversary. Time on his bicycle, long walks, and woodworking fueled his spirit. He took great pleasure in crafting gifts for others. With tremendous skill and care, Al created amazing entertainment centers, a crib, a bassinet, and many tables and chairs. All infused with his love; they are priceless treasures for the lucky recipients.
For those who knew him best, it is easy to attest to Al's love for his family. He relished in fatherhood and cherished the privilege and joys of being a grandfather. He unhesitatingly played with the grandchildren, getting down on the floor with them and playing at their level. He was their greatest encourager and biggest fan. In Al's heart, children easily knew they were loved, safe, and enough. He always had enough belief and confidence in them, that when they couldn't find it in themselves, they could easily borrow his and successfully push through life's challenges.
Shortly after retiring in 2013, Al's family began to notice obvious changes in Al's behavior. Within two short years, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease which unfortunately progressed rapidly. While remaining physically strong, the disease gradually dominated his life. Soon the names of those he loved no longer came to his mind; however, there was no doubt he was aware that a special connection existed.
Clearly, the world feels less certain without Al's gentle spirit, unshakeable faith, and steadfast presence. May it afford deep comfort to know that with each National Park we visit, hand we lend, child we inspire, and encouraging word we give, we are living Al's legacy in our daily lives; and, in these ways, we will continue to keep his spark shining.
On Wednesday, January 31, 2018, Alfred "Al" Dykema, age 71, transitioned from "Living for Jesus" on earth to living with Jesus in heaven after a relatively brief battle with Alzheimer's disease. Al strove to please his Lord and Savior in all that he did, glad-hearted and free. Al was preceded in death by his parents, Alfred and Tannie (Decker) Dykema. He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Lois (Hommes), children Julie (Brian) Ilbrink, Steve (Robin) Dykema and Paul Dykema. He leaves behind his cherished grandchildren Nick, Elizabeth ("Biz"), Justin, Jared, Steven, Olivia, Colston, Brandon, Shannon, Rebekah, Emerson, and Sophia. He also leaves behind siblings Pete (Ann) Dykema, Carol (Bob) Muller, Wayne (Judy) Dykema, and in-laws George (Gayle) Hommes. Visitation with family will take place at Heritage Life Story Funeral Home - VanStrien Creston Chapel, 1833 Plainfield NE, Grand Rapids on Friday, February 2 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. A Celebration of Life service will take place on Saturday, February 3 at 11 a.m. at Riverside Christian Reformed Church at 604 Comstock, NE, Grand Rapids with additional family visitation one hour prior to the service. Presiding over the ceremony will be Rev. Ben Browneye and Rev. Ron Noorman. To celebrate Al's service in Cadets, the family requests any active and former Cadets and Cadet Counselors wear their Cadet shirt to the ceremony. Honoring his wishes, cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to the Calvinist Cadet Corps Camporee Fund. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the staff at American House Sandalwood Memory Care and Spectrum Health Hospice for their love and tender care of Al and his family.

Man jailed 18 months for trafficking 4kg of cannabis
A Federal High Court in Ibadan on Monday sentenced a man, Ibrahim Idowu to 18 months imprisonment for trafficking 4kg of cannabis.
Delivering judgment, Justice Uche Agomoh, held that she convicted and sentenced Idowu based on the evidence before her as well as his plea of guilt.
Agomoh added that she considered the provisions of Section 270 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act(ACJA) 2015 with stipulated that anyone who pleads guilty to an offence must be given a reduced sentence.
"I also considered the fact that Idowu has shown that he is remorseful and willing to turn a new leaf.
"Furthermore, Idowu has not wasted the time and resources of this court before pleading guilty.
However, to serve as deterrent to others Idowu is sentence to one and a half years in prison.

AT&T Confirms Security Breach
The Social Security numbers and call records of an undisclosed number of customers were accessed in April.
https://www.pcmag.com/news/att-confirms-security-breach
AT&T has confirmed an April breach in which the personal information of an unknown number of users was improperly accessed.
"We recently learned that three employees of one of our vendors accessed some AT&T customer accounts without proper authorization," AT&T said in a statement. "This is completely counter to the way we require our vendors to conduct business."
"We know our customers count on us and those who support our business to act with integrity and trust, and we take that very seriously," AT&T continued. "We have taken steps to help prevent this from happening again, notified affected customers, and reported this matter to law enforcement."
Social Security numbers and call records were accessed between April 9 and 21, according to CNET. AT&T did not say how many customers were affected, but CNET pointed out that California law requires the disclosure of incidents that affect at least 500 local customers.
The data was reportedly breached in order to reveal the request codes that can unlock AT&T phones. AT&T currently will unlock a device for any customer whose account has been active for at least 60 days, whose account is in good standing and has no unpaid balance, and who has fulfilled his or her service agreement commitment.
Late last year, AT&T joined the nation's top wireless carriers—Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, and Verizon Wireless—in an effort to make it easier for consumers to unlock their devices.
The companies committed to a number of services, including posting information about unlocking policies, unlocking the phones of customers who have satisfied their contract, notifying users when their phone is eligible for unlocking, and unlocking devices for deployed military personnel.

No wonder former SEAL Luttrell didn't suffer Jake Tapper gladly.
CNN's Jake Tapper would have done well to read "Lone Survivor," rather than just seeing the new movie, before interviewing former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell last week. If he had, Tapper might have been more careful than to describe the deaths of Luttrell's SEAL comrades in Afghanistan as "senseless." And he would have been wary of Luttrell's contempt for the liberal media.
The film "Lone Survivor, which " took in $38.5 million at the box office its opening weekend is based on a 2010 book by Luttrell that tells the tragic story of a 2005 operation in which the three other members of Luttrell's SEAL team, along with 17 other special ops warriors, were killed. The story turned on the team's agonized decision to turn lose some Afghan goat herders who had stumbled onto its concealed position. As the SEALs had feared, the freed civilians went straight to the Taliban, precipitating the battle.
While the movie recounts the fateful decision, it doesn't explicitly tell the audience that a big part of deciding not to kill the goat herders was the certain knowledge that, "The media in the United States of America would crucify us," in Luttrell's words.
To kill or not kill the goat herders was a horrible choice to have to make – a moral, ethical and military dilemma that weighed the lives of the civilians against the lives of the team. Luttrell was rightly furious at having to to decide knowing that the SEALs would never get a fair shake from a hostile news media.
Here's hoping Luttrell is right.

City gets second bike share station
Second bike share station installed in Battle Creek
City gets second bike share station Second bike share station installed in Battle Creek Check out this story on battlecreekenquirer.com: http://bcene.ws/1s3YUUS
Jennifer Bowman, Battle Creek Enquirer Published 5:27 p.m. ET Sept. 15, 2014 | Updated 11:27 p.m. ET Sept. 15, 2014

A second bike share station has come to Battle Creek.
About a year after the first rental station was installed at Burnham Brook Community Center, another B-cycle station was set up over the weekend in the Riverwalk Centre parking lot at 34 W. Jackson St. When the installation is complete, the station will have spaces for four bikes with additional spots for returning rentals from the other station.
New stations can cost about $20,000. This one is mostly funded by the Calhoun County Visitors Bureau with the help of the Battle Creek Community Foundation. It also is sponsored by Arcadia Brewing Co. and Heritage Chevrolet.
After paying a $5 fee for a 24-hour membership, riders can use one of the bikes at no charge for the first hour. The cost is $1 for every half-hour thereafter.
"We wanted to have it close to the festival park," said Linda Freybler, CEO of the visitors bureau. "For visitors, a lot of people come through downtown, so we thought it would be a pretty central location — also for people who stay at McCamly (Plaza Hotel) and walk through the Riverwalk area."
Angela Myers, Choose Health program manager at the foundation, said additional partners are being sought for more stations. In the meantime, she said, they hope the latest station will "keep the momentum going."
"We're hoping it continues that message of creating healthy communities," she said.
B-cycle's bike-sharing system operates in 24 cities around the world, according to its website. The company says it's the only such program that measures the distance traveled on each ride and keeps track of the calories burned and carbon emissions prevented.
As at the first station, the Team Active bike shop will take care of maintaining the bicycles, including weekly routine checks. Owner Mike Wood said having a second station will help make the program even more successful and is "one more piece of that puzzle" on the way to a health-focused attitude in Battle Creek.
"If you look at any thriving city," he said, "and we always think of New York and Chicago and anything like that, one of their crown jewels and everyone that speaks to, is their bike-share program. Now, obviously, we're not a New York or a Chicago, but we're progressive and going back to our roots of a health-minded community."

Angela Ahrendt's departure from Burberry to Apple will see a 55% decrease in the total numbers of people following FTSE100 CEOs on Twitter. This is one of the starkest facts to come from the stamp #socialCEO report.
Back in July, stamp conducted a first pass of research into the social network habits of the CEOs of the FTSE100. We've just completed a refresh of that research, and despite an average increase of 9.5% in numbers of employees the FTSE100 have using LinkedIn, the social patterns of most top leaders remain significantly disconnected.

In this course, Professor Helen Taylor (University of Exeter) explores Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. We start by thinking about tremendous impact of the novel, as well as the celebrated and critically acclaimed film adaptation starting Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. After that, we explore the life and career of the novel's author – Margaret Mitchell – including an account of how the book came to be written, before turning to the issues of war and slavery in the novel itself. In the fourth module, we think about Scarlett O'Hara as a representative of the 'Southern belle' stereotype, before thinking about the many retellings of the Gone with the Wind story by subsequent writers and film-makers. In the sixth module, we look more closely at the relationship between Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler, before moving on in the seventh module to think about how the novel engages with transgression and loss, and why Gone with the Wind might still speak to us today.

U.S. forces 'killed UK reporter'
Adjust font size:
OXFORD, England (CNN) -- A coroner ruled on Friday that a British journalist who died in Iraq at the start of the war was unlawfully killed by American forces.
Terry Lloyd, a correspondent with the British TV network ITN , was killed outside Basra in southern Iraq in March 2003.
Oxfordshire Assistant Deputy Coroner Andrew Walker said he'll be writing the director of public prosecutions to seek to bring the perpetrators to justice.
"Terry Lloyd died following a gunshot wound to the head. The evidence this bullet was fired by the Americans is overwhelming," Walker said.
The U.S. Department of Defense said its forces had followed proper rules of engagement.
Lebanese interpreter Hussein Osman also was killed in the ITN crew, and cameraman Fred Nerac remains missing. ITN cameraman Daniel Demoustier survived.
Lloyd -- who was aged 50 -- was shot in the back during U.S. and Iraqi crossfire and was apparently shot by U.S. forces when he was taken away in a minibus for treatment.
"There is no doubt that the minibus presented no threat to the American forces. There is no doubt it was an unlawful act of fire upon the minibus," Walker said.
There were statements from U.S. military officers about the incident, but the coroner said "it was and is essential they attend and it is not satisfactory to have their statements read in court."
In Washington, the Defense Department said a U.S. investigation "determined that U.S. forces followed the applicable rules of engagement."
"The Department of Defense has never deliberately targeted noncombatants, including journalists," the Pentagon said. "We have always gone to extreme measures to avoid civilian casualties and collateral damage."
Lloyd's family members denounced the action and want justice.
Chelsey Lloyd, Terry Lloyd's daughter, urged after the inquest that the soldiers and their commanding officers be brought to justice.
"They did not come to this inquest to explain their actions. Let them now do so in our criminal courts where they are guaranteed to get a fair trial."
She said the "value of the inquest has been demonstrated."
"Until now we were unaware that my father was able to stand and walk to a makeshift ambulance after being shot once by an Iraqi bullet. The man who stopped to help my father was an ordinary Iraqi whose intentions were to take him and other wounded to a nearby hospital.
"After helping my father into his minibus the evidence shows that the vehicle whilst driving the wounded away was fired on by U.S. forces, and that one bullet entered my father's head after passing through the vehicle, and it was this American bullet which killed him."
A statement read by an attorney for Lloyd's widow, Lynn, said the court established that the "circumstances of his death from an American bullet whilst being ferried to hospital is a very serious war crime" and that the Marines should now stand trial.
"The evidence of how Terry Lloyd was unlawfully killed has shown that this was not, I wish to stress, a friendly fire blue on blue incident or a crossfire incident. It was a despicable, deliberate, vengeful act, particularly as it came many minutes after the end of the initial exchanges in which Mr. Lloyd had been hit by an Iraqi bullet."
Her statement said "U.S. forces appeared to have allowed their soldiers to behave like trigger-happy cowboys in an area in which there were civilians traveling on a highway, both Iraqi and European."

An expatriate (in abbreviated form, expat) is a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country and culture other than that of the person's upbringing. The word comes from the Latin terms ex ("out of") and patria ("country, fatherland").
In the 19th century, Americans, numbering perhaps in the thousands, were drawn to Europe—especially to Munich and Paris—to study the art of painting. Henry James, for instance, was a famous expatriate American writer from the 1870s, who adopted England as his home.
During the Nazi era, the German government deprived many left-wing and intellectual opponents of citizenship through expatriation, such as Albert Einstein, Oskar Maria Graf, Willy Brandt and Thomas Mann, often expatriating entire families.
What should be included for an expat hired from overseas?

A group of Nigerian researchers have cried out to the President in order to avert what has been discovered as a ticking time-bomb.
The group of researchers called on the President, Muhammadu Buhari to take measures that could reduce the effect of earthquakes which have been predicted by the research study.
The research team lead, Dr. Adepelumi Adekunle Abraham of the Department of Geology, Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, submitted the report titled "Preliminary Assessment of Earth Tremor Occurrence in Shaki Area, Shaki West Local Government, Oyo State".
The report however indicated an impending 'damaging earthquake" in the next four years.
In the same vein, the National President of the Nigerian Association of Water-Well Drilling Rig Owners and Practitioners (AWDROP), Michael Ale advised the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to take precautionary steps in minimising the effect of the impending quake.


What materials are not safe to throw in my trash?
Household Hazardous Waste: "Leftover household products that contain corrosive, toxic, ignitable, or reactive ingredients are considered to be household hazardous waste (HHW). Products, such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries, and pesticides, that contain potentially hazardous ingredients require special care when you dispose of them."
Some communities have special programs that allow residents to dispose of HHW separately. Others allow disposal of properly prepared HHW in trash, particularly those areas that do not yet have special HHW collection programs in place. Call your local Department of Sanitation or Department of Public Works for instructions on proper disposal.
You can also visit Earth911 Exit, type in your zip code and waste type to find local places in your area that will accept HHW.


This is a Launchpad layout for Serato DJ.
It kinda mimics a traditional mixer in the sense that once your song is loaded and beatmatched you can basically use the launchpad for everything else.
Excellent mapping, very logical. Work well, the Cue and Play flashing buttons are a nice touch.

Review: The Dune Trilogy, by Frank Herbert
The Lords of the Abiding Veil are the rulers of Uncity, the eternal holding pen where souls wait for their final judgement. Once sentenced, they are sent through one of seven Gates to meet their fate. Each Gate reflects either the virtue or the wickedness of the soul being judged. A soul who has led a moral life will go through the first gate, behind which, it is believed, lies Rusalok's Infinite Garden. The man who is pure wickedness will enter the seventh and most feared Gate, behind which it is claimed lies The Daemons' Pleasure. One can only imagine what awaits the judged of the Seventh! It is thought that various angels, seraphs and daemons guard these worlds, their kindness or depravity reflected by the type of Afterlife they monitor and guard.
The Seven Gates are located on the south west side of Uncity, just within the boundary of the city itself, before it gives way to the marshlands and forests beyond. Why there exactly, nobody knows, because nobody was there when the gates were first constructed. They have always been here, so it is contended. Entering into the Ring of Gates, the name given to the open-air arena in which the gates are located, the seven portals form an enormous ring roughly five hundred meters in diameter, each one positioned at exactly the same distance from another, like the markings on a clockface. Though of the same dimensions – roughly fifty meters high and half that across – each gate has a distinct appearance. Some are oval in shape, whilst others look more like obelisks, but each one appears stamped with clues regarding the nature of the Afterlife they lead to.
Gate1: Rusalok's Infinite Garden
The first Gate is known as Rusalok's Infinite Garden, and it is obvious why. Seraphs stand directly behind the Gate's entrance, their wispy arms sliding up and down its frame, beckoning the few who have been elected to pass through it with encouraging, slowly moving hands.
Pure waters spill gently out of the Gate and onto the marshland of Uncity, a site at which two worlds quite literally meet in sodden, pooling grasses. Looking through the Gate, one can see the immediate scene: bright flowers and lush, verdant hillsides frame each side. In the distance, a city of pure white marble can be glimpsed far, rotund structures built upon one another until the whole disappears into a sky resembling water. The occasional bird plunges through it, rippling its surface and sending concentric coils out across its infinite expanse. The gate's frame seems more of that world than Uncity's, as though Rusalok's Infinite Garden has exploded into life here, its growth and fecundity an irrepressible force that will not be held back by small considerations of dimensional separation. Thick branches and vines wrap tightly around each other to form a huge, circular doorway, the buds of leaves and fruit in an eternal state of expectation and hope.
Gate 2: The Mirror (Guardians Spirits: Children of the Cimeries)
The second Gate is called the Mirror, a huge portal that reflects the marshland of Uncity across its face, only in an optically distorted way, so that the grasses and wet bogs that extend all the way to the far away forests create a tunneled illusion within the gate, a cylindrical mural of sorts which, if one stares at it long enough, transfixes the mind to the point where one forgets oneself.
It is believed that on the other side of the gate, a world of unlived opportunities awaits the sinner, a land in which the inhabitant experiences nothing but eternal regrets and the ever-gnawing anxiety that had one acted differently in life, they may have experienced a more fulfilling existence both before and after death. The Afterlife of the Mirror is all illusion, all metaphor, all desire, and the persistent feeling of lack. It is said that the Afterlife of the mirror is populated by the children of the Cimeries, youngsters who forever transform from one person into another, mocking reminders of the individual the sinner could have been or should have been. It is enough to drive one to madness.
Gate 3: The Wandering Plain (Guardian Spirits: Daughters of Halpas)
The third Gate is said to open into The Wandering Plain, and looking through it, it is clear to see why. The grim wetlands of Uncity's periphery merge imperceptibly with those that appear on the other side of the Gate and disappear into the medial distance, whereby a dark forest of pines cloaks the foot of a dreary mountain range whose upper reaches are obscured by a permanent, thick fog.
The scene through the gate is forever drab; rain wets the expansive plain, soaking it into natural streams and small rivers whose surfaces are ruffled by strong, horizontally gusting winds. It looks cold. Inhospitable. And that is the point. Here, on the Wandering Plain, there is no shelter or reprieve from the elements, neither warmth nor comfort to be had. Instead, the natural world of this Afterlife seems deliberately designed to discomfort and torment, the ache and weariness precipitated by one's wet clothes and cold bones an eternally lived experience. Here, the land is lorded over by the daughters of Halpas, children of the Stork king himself, great flying creatures who survey the plain beneath to ensure not one inhabitant finds rest or protection from the weather. It is said they sleep in the pine trees of that far off forest, taking it in turns to patrol the Afterlife and chastise those tired, bedraggled sinners who would look for respite. But there is none to be had; there is only the rain, which day after day drives across the landscape without end.
Gate 4: Of Mortar and Pestle (Guardian Spirits: Clergy of Raum)
So called for the appalling scenes depicted on the walls of this obelisk gateway which fourth-tier sinners must pass through. The column is by far the tallest gate of the seven and looms ominously over every other in the Division Bell. Its surfaces are washed in movement, twisting shapes that slowly writhe beneath a shroud that wraps around the entirety of the structure.
On closer inspection, the shapes are arms, legs, faces, languidly, weakly clawing at the gauze that smothers them, the outlines of a thousand human mouths suffocating beneath it, sucking at the imaginary air. Lower down the obelisk, heavily cloaked figures peer down on those that approach it, each one carrying a mortar and pestle. With robed hands they stir and crush the human bones that are its contents. Those who pass through this gate, it is contended, face an afterlife of cannibalism, force-fed the flesh of those they have wronged in life, physically or otherwise. The punishment is overseen by the clergy of Raum (the daemon of greed and spite), twisted priests who forever dole out the appaling food and oversee its consumption by sinners.
Gate 5: The Shattered Trail (Guardian Spirits: Disciples of Asmoday)
The Shattered Trail lies behind the fifth Gate, a long, winding path up the face of a mountain whose peak is not discernable through the portal. The path runs like a jagged scar, criss-crossing the face of the mountain before terminating at the upper reaches and then descending. And that is it.
The sinner has no choice but to walk, and keep walking, else they are frozen in place, doomed to look upon the world before them as spectators, entombed but eternally conscious, alive but in perpetual agony from the chill. Some choose such a fate rather than continue the climb, but for those whose hope in a better future is as incurable as the fear and despair they feel towards the present, they ascend and descend, wishful that this time things will turn out differently. The disciples of Asmody are said to be guardians of the trail, large, beaked creatures who mock sinners as they navigate the path, throwing stones at them which bruise and injure. They pick up the suicides who have thrown themselves from the mountain's peak and set them on their feet again, for here, there is no escape through death. In the Afterlife, death is forever.
Gate 6: Valley of Oil (Guardian Spirits: Sons of Flauros)
Behind the sixth gate lies what souls call the Valley of Oil. Through the gateway, fires can be seen raging on both sides of a deep trench that exits into a wide basin whose surface glows like roasting coals. Dotted across the vale, large, identical structures bow and bend like hobby horses, pouring onto the cracked earth oil from huge, swinging vats.
The earth explodes when the liquid makes contact and storms of fire race outwards, like terrible waves of a cyclonic sea. Nothing can live here except the sinners unfortunate enough to call this place home. With each vat that empties, with each eruption of heat and flame, the sinners' skin is burnt from their flesh, so that there is never a moment when the meaning of excruciating, impossible pain is not known and felt. If that was not enough, the sons of Flauros reside here, walking the land and whipping the miscreants with flails, tearing pieces of flesh from weeping raw bodies and tossing them into the fires. The Gate itself speaks of terror, its oval shape a monstrous, mad eye that flexes and pulses expectantly, its frame an intensely compacted, heated vapour that hisses in the air. It is hard to meet it with one's gaze, so souls tend not to look, even as they are thrown through it into the valley itself.
Gate 7: The Daemon's Pleasure
The seventh Gate is believed to lead to the Afterlife known as The Daemons' Pleasure. It is of the same dimensions as the others, a sort of egg shaped orb made of sharp, bent steel, as though its frame has been subjected to aeons of blasting. Unlike the other gates, nothing can be made out of the landscape and world that lies behind the portal.
It is shrouded in something that resembles molten lava, a swirling liquid-like coagulant that turns slowly counterclockwise. Every so often, the face of the gate darkens as shadows pass behind it, amorphous and undefined, before disappearing within the tumult. A scaffold about twenty meters high faces the Seventh. Here the sentenced climb, and when the time arrives, they are thrown into the portal by guards, a ceremonial spectacle that adds weight to the seriousness of crimes that must have been committed for someone to end up here, looking directly into the eye of the Seventh. It is the last place anyone in Uncity wants to end up in when they first arrive, and it is the first place they think of when they lie in bed on the eve of their sentencing, wracking their brains for any deeds they committed in life that could see them condemned to pass through the Seventh.

This interview took place in September 25, 2012.
Jesus freak Hideout (Cathy Payton): At what age did you first become interested in music?
Christa Rooks: Music has always been a huge part of my life. I've been singing since as long as I can remember ... hair brush in hand on the fireplace ["stage"]. And I was always putting on "shows" for my family and family friends. In kindergarten, my best friend and I performed "I Enjoy Being a Girl" with matching dresses and hair bows. We tapped a dance routine and sang our hearts out! And by the way, we won! Good times.
JFH (Cathy): You recently released your first EP, At His Feet. Tell us what it was like creating this project -- how did it come about, were the songs written by you or with you, what was recording process like?
Christa: Well my husband James and I had been praying for quite some time about what our next steps should be in my music ministry. We had been advised by several trusted sources that I needed a quality recording of my voice; a few covers and a couple originals were suggested. We were referred to producer Jason Hoard [Black Cat Studios, Georgia] by a friend in the music industry. After talking to and meeting Jason, we knew we were supposed to work with him. He helped me choose the songs featured on the record. We went with three covers: "Carry Your Name," "Hosanna," and "None But Jesus." And the last two: "Most High Renown" and "I Worship You Lord" are two of my originals. We had such a fun time recording with Jason and his studio musicians. It was a great experience, and I can't wait to get back in the studio to record a full album in the future.
JFH (Cathy): What was the most surprising or important thing you learned during the making of the EP?
Christa: One thing I took away from the experience is it's so important to work with people you can be yourself with. Jason, Trey Roth (the vocal engineer), Brandon Coker (the drummer) and everyone we encountered all made us feel right at home and so comfortable. Feeling at ease is HUGE when recording.
JFH (Cathy): Who have been your musical influences, Christian and/or mainstream?
Christa: Wow! Since music has been such a part of my life all along, I've been influenced by many artists. Many are listed on my artist page on Facebook [Chris Tomlin, Christy Nockles, Matt Redman, Sarah McLachlan, Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley]. Some that really stick out in my mind are Darlene Zschech, Whitney Houston, and Faith Hill.
JFH (Cathy): You recently welcomed a daughter into the world -- in May, correct? How do you balance your responsibilities as a mother of four and wife with your music career?
Christa: Great question. There's a definite hustle and bustle, especially with four kids involved. The main thing that brings balance to it all is that we (my husband and I ) see the music career as more of a ministry than just a career. We, as a family, try to be ministry-minded in whatever we do whether it be our marriage, parenting our kids, serving others/friends, and music. And James is the most supportive husband! We are just as busy as everyone else, but we really try to weigh out our efforts in the context of ministry and where God would have us. It's so freeing to be open to whatever God has for us to do. Yes, Orion Grace was born in May. So we have a seven year old son, five year old son, three year old son, and five month old daughter. I love my life!
JFH (Cathy): What advice would you give a young person who is considering a career in music?
Christa: Pray. Make sure God is giving the desire. In Psalm 37:4, Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4 NASB) Delight in Him. Make Him first in all you do, and let Him shape and mold your heart to what He desires. Once you know that you know He's calling you to music ministry, wait on the Lord and His timing. And as you wait, work with excellence to sharpen your craft and improve. Serve faithfully. And just do what you do for His glory and His renown.
JFH (Cathy): What's next on the horizon for you?
Christa: Now that the EP has released and we're done with the production phase, I'm booking with churches and ministries for worship events. Church retreats, women's conferences, youth camps, worship rallies/conferences ... whatever and wherever He leads me.
JFH (Cathy): Is there a particular scripture that resonates with you or that has been a source of comfort for you?
