My connection to donation is two sided, as a recipient and a donor. My first experience was toward the end of college I was diagnosed with keratoconus. I finished college and one day while playing tennis I noticed that I was experiencing even more difficulties following the ball. My keratoconus had progressed and I would need a cornea transplant, a strange thing to hear at 24 years old.
The thought of losing my vision was incredibly scary. I can remember realizing the flipside, it would mean a person would have lost their life in order for me to get what I needed. It's now going on 28 years and counting since the transplant.
My other connection to donation comes from my oldest brother. He became very ill and they discovered that his kidneys had shut down. I can remember instantly thinking, someone you love is sick and needs something and you can help. I kept saying to him, "My kidney is your kidney". When I got the call saying that we were a match it was a relief and it was exciting. I remember right before the surgery, in December, 2016, we were in the hospital room and I just kept saying, "We got this". Both our surgeries were a success.
That surgery took place on a Monday and every Monday since then, I get a text from my brother that says "TYFMNK!" which stands for, "Thank you for my new kidney!". I always reply, "TYFNMK" which is "Thank you for needing my kidney!" and I really mean it. He got the kidney, but I got the gift. It changes you. You see everything through a different lens, cornea pun not intended.
Donation is so important for all the obvious reasons but there is no gift you can give that feels as good when you see the outcome. On the recipient end, I've had almost 30 years with this cornea that has allowed me to see, I don't even think about it anymore. I hadn't thought about it in years until someone pointed out that it was really cool that I was a donor and a recipient. It makes you think. It has made my life so much better that I didn't even realize that it happened.

The Arctic Ocean Flotilla (AOF) (), was a Russian military flotilla stationed in Aleksandrovsk (present-day Polyarny) near the mouth of the Kola Gulf, Iokanga, and Arkhangelsk.

History

On  the official formation of the AOF began and by September was largely complete.  By the end of 1917 the AOF comprised the battleship Chesme, the cruisers Askold and Varyag, 6 destroyers, 3 submarines and other ships. The AOF's operational zone included the Barents Sea - from the Norwegian border to the Kara Gates - including the White Sea.  Its mission was to secure uninterrupted the sea lines of communications connecting Russia with its Entente allies.

After Bolshevik Russia's withdrawal from World War I in March 1918, the flotilla comprised approximately 90 combatant and auxiliary ships. In August 1918 Allied interventionist forces and the White Army captured the best ships of the AOF. The rest of the ships were intentionally put out of commission or destroyed.

The 820mm Carbon front wing, together with the 500mm rear wing is a very stable foil for smaller riders, or wave riders attacking waves from knee to head high. Add the 440mm rear wing and you have an loose turning prone or SUP surfing setup that will carve nicely on all conditions. It's the choice for the more advanced SUP foilers in the surf, but also for the downwind speedsters who want to be way ahead of the rest of the pack. No matter if your aim is to win the Molokai crossing, shred overhead bumps, or pump and ride the AXIS Foil S-Series 82 will do it all.
We recommend to combine the 820mm front wing with either the 680mm or 750mm for prone surf versatility, or the 1020mm front wing for small bumps and flat water pumping.

Knit vs nit
Knit and nit are two words that are pronounced in the same fashion but are spelled differently and have different meanings. They are homophones. We will examine the difference in meaning between the words knit and nit, where these words come from and some examples of their use in sentences.
Knit means to interconnect loops of thread, usually wool or cotton, in order to construct something such as a garment. Knit is also used figuratively, to mean to connect or unite disparate things together. Knit may be used as a noun or a verb, related words are knits, knitted, knitting. Knit is one of a category of words that begin with the consonant blend kn, in which the k is silent. The k in words beginning with kn was pronounced in Old English, as these words were taken from German words in which the k was pronounced. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the k sound was dropped. The word knit was derived from the German word knütten, which means to tie or to knot.
A nit is a small egg or larva of a louse or other parasitic insect. Nits are usually attached to the hair or fur of a host. Also, in British English nit is a word used to mean a fool or an idiot. The word nit is derived from the Old English word hnitu, meaning louse egg.
The NGO is working with village women to knit the giant jumpers for the elephants housed at its local conservation centre in the holy Hindu town of Mathura. (The Times of Malta)
Schools in East Yorkshire are barely a week into the new school term, and already are warning parents to look out for nits. (The Hull Daily Mail)

CSS volunteers honoured with commemorative garden
Down the hill from the little green house that holds the staff of Community Support Services curves a paved path. Lined with shrubs and marked with granite stones, the walkway curls into itself, forming a circle around small gardens filled with hardy plants that attract butterflies. This is the new commemorative garden, which opened to the public on Friday.
A special ceremony introduced volunteers to the garden, which was designed as a place of rest and contemplation in honour of those who have contributed to CSS and its predecessor, Community Care Haliburton County.
CSS volunteer co-ordinator Brigitte Gebauer opened the ceremony by telling the group that the event honoured where they came from and where the organization is going.
President of Community Care before it was integrated into Haliburton Highlands Health Services in 2014, Bev Upton spoke about the importance of the people who founded and maintained Community Care since its incorporation in 1980. She recognized the leadership of Doris McCann, who founded the organization, as well as volunteer Kalie Ma (a "young, vibrant bundle of energy") who died suddenly in 2014.
The Community Care board had specified that the garden be a place to honour volunteers; a quiet respite; wheelchair accessible; close enough for residents of Highland Wood to visit; and be attractive and low-maintenance. It was the last project they would undertake as a board before joining HHHS.
Lee MacLean chaired the venture. And while there were some hiccups along the way, Upton said: "Lee is a master at curing hiccups."
She thanked Karen Sloan for designing and installing the gardens and Curtis Bain for donating the granite stones. Kirsten Monk helped with the etching.
Upton recognized Bernice McCann, who left money to Community Care in her will to create the garden. Her donation is honoured with an inscribed stone bench.
Jeanne Anthon, a former president of the Community Care board, thanked those who have led the organization: Doris McCann, Donna MacDonald, Maureen Ruttig and now Stephanie MacLaren.
MacLaren told the audience that she felt privileged to work with the team and read a long list of the services rendered in the last year through CSS including distributing some 20,000 meals to 279 people; giving 490 people rides; and engaging 939 people in the social recreation program.
She said she anticipated those numbers growing, especially as provincial politicians espouse the importance of aging at home.
"People do better when they're at home," she said, adding CSS is well positioned to "be at the forefront of these changes."
The rest of the ceremony was about the people served by the organization. Hank O'Reilly, who is a vocal supporter and client of CSS, sang a song he wrote especially for them called "Thank You for Your Kindness." He said hot meals and visits from volunteers created "an amazing lifeline that I needed at that time."
Stories were read out from other users of the organization, who said the variety of programming helped battle loneliness, increase physical and mental well being and exercise compassion to those at the end of their lives through the hospice program.
The commemorative garden is located behind Community Support Services in Haliburton and is open to the public.

Optimistic in nature and bohemian in spirit, Nityam Singha Roy's new paintings are the manifestation of his deep understanding and realization of life and its philosophy.
Born in 1978, in Balurghat, Dakshin Dinajpur, West Bengal, Nityam strongly believes in the power and potent of the word 'Charaiveti', which means 'move on' or 'go on'.
He likes to focus on the journey of life, and not the destination, to enjoy the internal majesty and not to rejoice over achieving simply an external goal. 'The struggle of my early life taught me to enjoy the pain of separation.
And it is his deep introspection that has allowed him to create art works which transcend the personal subjectivity and spatio-temporal boundaries and give his audience the feeling of timelessness and eternity.


I like working with interesting people I can learn from and help me be more creative. It is a very stimulating environment. Imagenheart is also a very good film company with very good productions. I also have a interest in film production and would love to learn more about it.
A lone bounty hunter seeking what was in the ashes of Cape Town trying to make sense of what had happen.

The crops, cuts and partial views of a sans-serif logotype and its application across walls, as stickers applied to curved and box packaging, ink over the surface of stationery, running off the edge of corporate brochures and as a parallax animation, draws plenty of variety, aesthetic impact and communicative value from what is a simple and fairly neutral choice of characters. It is a familiar concept but not often done so well. Each challenging people to see different and individual elements come together as a whole by adjusting their viewpoint. This approach effectively plays with three-dimensional space, both literally as wall decals, and suggestively, running off the sides of print work.
Contrary to current and popular architectural identity conventions such as light and dark concrete grey boards, white inks and foils, blind embosses and grid pattens etc, RE:'s solution is bold and vibrant, combining bright dyed boards and papers, oversized type and a single ink economy. It confidentially blends the accessible, playful and humanistic (culture) with the cold and functional (data). The black ink across yellow board has a strong construction sensibility while other colours appear simply in service of brand character and as a reflection of a positive and energetic brand culture.
The colour choices make it clear that Ridley is as much about people as it is about the technology that underpins its virtual architectural proposition. This furthered by the introduction of what RE: describe as human-centric data placed throughout the office and across the collateral as a way to help those who engage with the brand better understand the company, projects and the people who work there. This neatly blends corporate data with the activities of its staff across business cards, clock faces, USB sticks and door decals, and is the detail that really gives the project its personality and multidimensional quality. These are clever and like the logotype, have a variety, are well executed and neatly bound by the colour palette.

Here are my top picks for anime like Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? How long can a title get for an anime? Keep in mind the list is in no particular order. Enjoy the recommendations!
In the blink of the mind's eye, Ryouta Sakamoto suddenly finds himself transported from playing the hit Btooom! video game to being stranded on a mysterious island, equipped with a day's worth of provisions, a bag of bombs, a strange crystal embedded in his left hand and a huge gaping hole in his memory. But it doesn't take long to figure out what's going on, especially after the first person Ryouta meets tries to kill him. Someone is attempting to recreate the ultra-violent Btooom! game in real life, and the island has been filled with an army of other unwilling players, each armed with one of the multiple variants of explosive weapons called BIM. Fortunately, Ryouta's an ace Btooom! player, but this insane version of the game has no reset switch or second lives, and there's only one way off the island: kill seven other people before they can kill you! Can Ryouta repurpose his game based skills fast enough to survive?

Rival Consoles Hidden Agenda & Abstract DJs
London-based producer Ryan Lee West, better known under the name Rival Consoles, is notable for making synthesisers sound human and atmospheric. With the release of his 'Odyssey' and 'Sonne' EPs, West has gained a reputation for making thoughtful electronica that spans a wide spectrum of musical ideas. Foremost a guitarist, growing up listening to rock rather than club music, his new studio album 'Howl' sees West strive towards finding a more personal balance between music for home listening and larger spaces. It's rarely reported that Rival Consoles was Erased Tapes' very first signing, with a CDR of early demos under the name Aparatec that inspired founder Robert Raths to start the label. Indeed West has more in common with his contemporaries Nils Frahm and Peter Broderick than some might think. His consistent desire to create a more organic, humanised sound sees West often draft early ideas on traditional, acoustic instruments like the guitar or the piano; forming pieces that capture a sense of songwriting behind the electronics. Fascinated by sound from an early age, Ryan chose to dedicate his time to studying, experimenting with and producing sound, graduating from De Montfort University in his hometown Leicester. Having repeatedly performed at such prestigious venues as the Tate, and having created a bespoke audio-visual performance for Boiler Room at the V&A Museum, the blueprint for West's current live A/V show was formed. Featuring self-programmed visuals in Max/MSP has earned him appearances at music festivals around the world including Mutek, Decibel, Big Ears and Berghain's Pop-Kultur Festival, as well as tours in support of Clark, Nosaj Thing, Luke Abbott and Kiasmos.

Colour Melbourne is the world's first colouring book made by children!
Just PUBLISHED! Colour Melbourne is a colouring book made entirely by children. 55 artists aged between three and 10 years old have made this creative and very original book. Colour Melbourne is the world's first colouring book made entirely by children.
Julie Kennedy, of Pip Dot Art Studio, and Joanne O'Callaghan have been working with children for a year to bring the concept of a book made by children together. The book has been published following a successful crowdfunding campaign.
"We have been working on this project for a year and are yet to find a colouring book created with the hands and imagination of children in Australia or worldwide. Colour Melbourne is the first we know of in the world as a commercial colouring book made by children" said, children's book author Joanne O'Callaghan.
There is no one way to draw something and drawings don't need to look a certain way.
There are no computer drawn images in this colouring book.
Children and adults can bring the city alive with colourful hot air balloons, stripy football jumpers, polka dot fashion, delicious ice-creams, and buildings of all shapes and sizes. Hand-drawn pictures highlight much loved Melbourne landmarks such as Flinders Street Station, Federation Square, the Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne Cricket Ground, and the National Gallery of Victoria. There are also parks, picnics, and penguins. And of course a tram or two!
With the support of their project backers the have been able to donate copies of Colour Melbourne to children in hospital through The Royal Children's Hospital Foundation. Project supporters also donated books to school programs run by The Resilience Project, an organisation helping young Australian's be mentally healthy.
Colour Melbourne is now available in Melbourne at all good bookstores including The Avenue Bookstores, Readings, Hill of Content Bookstore, and Heide Museum of Modern Art.


GopherCentral Library: Daily Groaner - Doesn't That Sound Cool?
Daily Groaner - Doesn't That Sound Cool?
It was so hot over the weekend. That got my brain cookin', in more ways than one.
I come up with a few clever ways to keep cool and avoid all of the fun that comes from practically bursting into flames, which wouldn't be fun...unless you're the Human Torch.
All great ideas, according to me, I've been out in the sun a lot. Just beat the heat and stay cool...why am I so sweaty?
A policeman pulled a female driver over and asked to see her license. After looking it over, he said to her, "Lady, it stipulates here on your license that you should be wearing glasses."

Cameron's inspiration for this fountain was actually a prelude by Debussy, by the same name. These underwater "lovers" remind me a bit of a book entitled, H20, which showcases the brilliant underwater photography of Howard Schatz. Cameron's painting, however, carries with it a bit more magic and a lot more gravitas.

ABI Sees 4G Deployments Soaring Through 2012 - InternetNews.
ABI Research is projecting a sharp growth spurt for 4G technologies over the next couple years.
The research firm estimates that by 2012, WiMAX networks will reach more than 1 billion people, while LTE technologies will serve another 600 million.
Enterprise Mobile Today has the details on the jump to the next generation of wireless data networks.
ABI Research projects that WiMAX wireless communications will reach more than 1 billion people by the end of 2012, and that LTE will cover another 600 million by that time, marking a fast ramp up of the two technologies that fall into the "4G" category.
4G technology is focused entirely on the data transmission side of wireless communications, largely because the voice side is a mature technology. Whereas 3G has reached top speeds of 14 megabits per second on the downlink, that is rarely, if ever, achieved. In practice, 3G is lucky if it can hit one megabit per second.


Today I'm gonna point something which everyone sees on a daily bases – the cowardly behavior which sooner or later turns into a pretended seriousness.
Life has a way of turning you into a coward, says Isaiah Hanke, When you're young, you have unlimited energy. As soon as you learn to walk, you spend nearly every waking moment learning, discovering, and testing your limits. You try to touch hot surfaces, stick your fingers into light sockets, and jump off of couches. Then you move outside. You climb trees, jump off roofs, and dive off of rocks. This behavior is wired into you. In fact, without adventure, childhood development is slowed. You were meant to test your limits. The problem is this behavior tends to die off in adulthood. We're told by mediocre teachers to sit still and to get along. We're taught and conditioned to accept limits without testing them anymore. Eventually, these limits crowd in on us until we can't move. They suffocate us because we stop testing them. Our brains slow down. We stop taking risks. We turn into cowards.
The modern coward buys into mainstream excuses and thinks it's ok because everyone else believes the same. I could say that the collectivism is the best comfort zone for that kind a behavior. The problem here is that the evolution eventually will stop. Let's bring the tape back to the stone Age. Which one survives? Not this one who cares about the feelings of the saber-toothed cat, but the strongest. Sadly as far as I observe the things surrounding me, the coward attitude (if this is an attitude at all) is the most tolerated one. And cowards create more and more cowards. More "Serious people".
Which are signs of you becoming a coward? I can point the following: Fear honesty, taking on a challenge alone and strong people. And isn't this the saddest thing in the world? To live in a sterile cell where everything imitates happiness.
This is to motivate you never to stop defending your ideas and interests, because no one will do it instead of you, trust me. The conformism will only make you weaker without even feeling it.
So I wish everyone of you to have а week to be grateful for and stay strong.

Q: Android offline speech recognition extra results I'm trying to get an array with extra results from the Android Google speech recognition engine using this line:
ArrayList<String> text = data.getStringArrayListExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);

However, this works only when the device is online and connected to the internet.  When it's offline, I get an array containing only one result.
Is there a way to get a multiple results array when I'm offline?

A: No, there is no way to do that online, there is a lot of information to be stored if you even try to develop something like that, one approach to your idea could be using the since JellyBean available speechInput, but as you will see later(if you try to set this mode) you will need to download on your device a language package for it!
if you succeed finding another way, tell me how!

Ryan Reynolds says 'Deadpool 3' is in the works at Marvel
Matt Donnelly
Ryan Reynolds has confirmed what numerous executives have danced around since Disney acquired 20th Century Fox this year — "Deadpool 3" is coming, and will now be in the hands of Marvel Studios.
Appearing on a holiday edition of "Live With Kelly and Ryan," the actor told hosts Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest that his potty-mouthed superhero is returning with another sequel in the blockbuster franchise.
"We're working on it right now with the whole team," Reynolds said. "We're over at Marvel, which is the big leagues all of a sudden. It's kind of crazy."
Deadpool was one of the few characters owned outright by a studio other than Disney, but came home to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and his team in Disney's $71.3 billion Fox acquisition in March. Reynolds, who stars as the titular mercenary with lewd jokes and impressive regenerating capabilities, developed the first two films with Fox film leadership.

BACK TO SLIDE
Emma Watts, Fox film's former president of production who had a considerable role in the first two films, will not continue to oversee the franchise, insiders familiar with the project said. She'll remain in the Reynolds business in 2020, overseeing the video game action-comedy "Free Guy" under the Fox label, in addition to pumping out Steven Spielberg's "West Side Story," the "Avatar" franchise and Ridley Scott's "The Last Duel."
"Deadpool" and "Deadpool 2" have earned an impressive $1.5 billion worldwide combined. Budgets were a reported $58 million and $110 million, respectively, before marketing costs. The film also represented an encouraging stretch of Marvel's core intellectual property, earning top dollar with an R rating.
Reynolds has loaded up on splashy commercial projects this year and his paycheck reflects as much. Netflix is paying north of $25 million for his services in "Red Notice," an art-heist action pic with Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot.

Using technology to solve environmental issues epitomises billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. By developing electric vehicles, battery products and solar energy products, the world's richest man has helped accelerate the transition to sustainable energy.1 He intends to use half of his USD $168.6 billion fortune "to help problems on Earth and half to help establish a self-sustaining city on Mars".2 As part of the former, Elon Musk wants carbon capture to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.
As a result, he is offering USD $100 million to anyone who can demonstrate functioning direct air capture (DAC) technology. The XPRIZE competition's main prize goes to the design that can remove at least 1,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. To win it, the team must also show a pathway to capturing one billion tonnes of CO2 in the future. Any solution that achieves net negative emissions, sequesters CO2 durably, and has a clear, low-cost path to achieving gigatonne scale is eligible.3
Why Elon Musk wants carbon capture technologies to flourish
High atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide are the leading long-term driver of global warming. This greenhouse gas traps heat and prevents it from escaping into space. This increases the average temperature of the Earth. By burning fossil fuels, destroying forests and converting land for agriculture, humans have increased the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by 47 per cent.4 Subsequently, we have caused 1°C of global warming since the Industrial Revolution.5
The most impactful way to prevent climate change is to stop burning fossil fuels. Coal, oil and natural gas cause as much as 89 per cent of global CO2 emissions.6 However, even if we were to transition to renewable energy today, CO2 can remain in the atmosphere for up to 1,000 years.7 That is why Elon Musk wants these technologies to flourish and make a measurable impact.
Who are the bigger contenders so far in Elon Musks' carbon capture competition?
The competition only opened on 22 April 2021.8 But, three companies worldwide already have pilot plants capturing large quantities of CO2 directly from the air.9 They could theoretically apply to the competition, and it would be worth their while to do so. The Grand Prize Winner will receive USD $50 million. USD $30 million will also be distributed among the three runners up.10
Carbon Engineering
Canada's Carbon Engineering has been operating DAC facilities since 2015. It focuses on the "global deployment of megaton-scale Direct Air Capture technology". It is also trying to construct DAC facilities that can capture almost one million tonnes of CO2 per year. That is equivalent to the CO2 that 40 million trees absorb through photosynthesis.11
Carbon Engineering is building its commercial-scale DAC facility in Texas. It is already selling units equivalent to amounts of CO2 captured. For instance, the e-commerce platform Shopify has bought 10,000 carbon removal units from Carbon Engineering. Shopify hopes to offset its emissions with this move.12
But if Shopify fails to reduce its emissions in any other way, it negates the environmental benefit of Carbon Engineering's DAC. The DAC facility will not start operating until 2024.13 It is dangerous for companies and individuals to have the mindset that they can simply buy carbon credits or units and continue creating emissions guilt-free. This is a form of 'greenwashing'. This is when companies wrongfully present themselves as environmentally friendly.
Climeworks
Swiss company Climeworks operates similarly to Carbon Engineering. Climeworks has built 14 DAC facilities around the globe. This includes the world's first commercial-scale DAC facility.14 It is also building the world's largest DAC facility in Iceland.15
Climeworks permanently stores some of the CO2 they capture underground. However, it also recycles and reuses some of the CO2.16 For example, it sells it to fruit and vegetable suppliers for use in their greenhouses.17 This helps reduce costs for Climeworks.18 The downside is that the carbon is not kept from the atmosphere.
Global Thermostat
US-based carbon capture company Global Thermostat has two pilot DAC facilities. Each can capture approximately 3,000 to 4,000 tonnes of CO2 directly from the air.19 The projects are receiving investment from oil and gas giant ExxonMobil. Working in partnership, the two companies aim to remove just under a gigatonne of CO2 from the atmosphere each year. They also aim to continue to expand until they are removing about 36 gigatonnes of CO2 annually.20
What does this pledge mean for smaller carbon capture companies?
Smaller carbon capture companies may not have investment from the world's largest oil and gas producer, or e-commerce platforms. Therefore, they could greatly benefit from the fact that Elon Musk wants these technologies to expand. Also, it seems unlikely that any of the companies mentioned above will apply to the XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition as they already have funding and projects underway.
Consequently, the competition could help smaller carbon capture companies to develop their own technologies. In the competition FAQs, it is clear that anyone can form a team and apply. It mentions "startups, university groups, small to midsize companies, high school students, families, or even individuals". It is evidently an inclusive competition with few limitations on entrants.
The cost of DAC
The biggest challenge facing direct air capture as a climate mitigation tool is the price. It is more costly per tonne of CO2 that it captures than most mitigation approaches. For instance, the costs for DAC vary between USD $250 and $600, depending on the technology. By contrast, planting more trees and enhancing forests is a much cheaper way to remove CO2. Reforestation typically costs less than USD $50 per tonne of CO2.21
DAC is expensive due to the low concentration of CO2 in the air. It requires large amounts of energy to separate it. Estimates for the cost of DAC anticipate a fall in price to around USD $150 to $200 per tonne over the next five to 10 years. Additional investment and development of the technology can accelerate this price reduction. This is exactly why Elon Musk wants carbon capture projects to apply to his competition.22
Elon Musk wants carbon capture development – can he not just plant trees?
It is true that trees naturally absorb CO2 and store it for centuries.23 However, planting enough trees to soak up large quantities of CO2 requires huge tracts of land. Scientists in 2019 made the recommendation to plant billions of trees around the world.24 They found that this could reduce the atmospheric concentration of CO2 by a quarter.25 But, it would require planting an area of land the size of the US and China combined.26
However, the study's findings have been criticised. There was an overestimation of the amount of carbon that trees can store. Also, much of the land deemed available for tree planting has plants already growing on it. Replacing them with trees would release the carbon they are currently storing.27
Moreover, it takes time for seedlings to grow into mature trees. This is important since older and larger trees absorb and store more CO2.28 We need trees for many different reasons, not least for their ability to remove CO2 from the air. However, we continue to emit too many CO2 emissions for tree planting alone to solve climate change.
Direct air capture and climate change
The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that we need 10 gigatonnes of CO2 removal per year by 2050. Otherwise, global warming will exceed 1.5°C or even 2°C.29 Planting trees is an important part of the solution. Stopping the deforestation of our current forests is also vital. There is no way to reduce global warming without these nature-based solutions.
However, DAC can capture more CO2 using less land than nature-based solutions. Unlike other carbon capture techniques, such as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), there is no need for arable land to fuel the plant. They can also be built anywhere. The problem is, there are currently just 15 DAC plants in operation. They capture about 9,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.30
A significant and immediate increase in DAC plants is needed to help prevent climate change. We need this technology operating at scale as soon as possible. This is why Elon Musk wants carbon capture to thrive. Hopefully, his global competition offering the largest incentive prize in history can help boost this technology, before it is too late.

I would like to make a chart where the Y axis starts at 0 and ends at 2000. The dataset I'll populate it with has these min and max restrictions but if the data ranges from 100-1000, the chart always seems to autorange.
But when I run it doesn't seem to do anything. What am I missing?
In SciChart v2.0 the chart checks if any of the axes has invalid range (either null, or infinite) and if so, it autoranges that axis once, on startup.
In SciChart v3.0 this problem goes away, as there is a default VisibleRange applied to each axis, and if overridden by a user (e.g. setting your own VisibleRange), then the auto ranging once on startup is ignored.

1. Get yourself a copy of the credit scores. Receiving a copy of your credit file may be beneficial as if there will be something on your report that is inaccurate, you may raise credit score once it can be removed. Make sure you contact the bureau immediately to get rid of any incorrect information. Your credit score should come from your three major bureaus: Experian, Trans Union and Equifax. It is critical to understand that each service will give you another credit rating.
2. Repay what you owe Promptly. Your payment history compensates 35% of your total credit history. Your recent payment history will carry much more weight than happened five years ago. Missing just one months payment on anything can knock Fifty to one hundred points away from to your credit rating. Paying your expenses punctually is a single best way to start rebuilding your credit rating and raise credit rating for you personally.
3. Reduce Your Debt. Your bank card issuer reports your outstanding balance once a month towards the credit reporting agencies. It doesn't matter whether you pay off that balance a short time later or whether you take it from month to month. Most of the people don't realize that services don't separate those who carry a balance on the cards and those that don't. So by charging less you can raise credit history even if you pay back your bank cards monthly. Lenders love to view a lot of of room relating to the amount of debt on the charge cards as well as your total credit limits. So the more debt you make payment for off, the wider that gap as well as the boost your credit score.
4. Don't Close Old Accounts. Previously citizens were told to shut old accounts they weren't using. Though today's current scoring methods that had the ability to hurt to your credit rating. Closing old or repaid credit accounts lowers the whole credit open to you and makes any balances you've appear larger in credit score calculations. Closing your oldest accounts can actually shorten the duration of your credit ranking and also to a lending institution commemorate you less credit worthy.
Should you be trying to minimize id theft and really worth the comfort so that you can close your old or paid off accounts, the good news is it'll only lower you score the lowest amount. But keeping those old accounts open you'll be able to raise credit standing for you personally.

Q: Check if var has "cheese" OR "cake" in it? How can I check if a variable has something in it? I tried checking if a .match() returned null but that wasn't useful for checking with an OR?

A: /cheese|cake/.test(a)
you could add an i at the end of the regex if you want to test case-insensitively

A: As you only got answers involving regular expressions, here is the plain string operation solution:
var hasMatch = input.indexOf('cheese') != -1 || input.indexOf('cake') != -1;

A: Try this:
var myString = 'I love cheese';
var isMatch = new RegExp(/(cheese|cake)/i).test(myString); //should return true

A: all expressions posted so far would also match "cheeseburger" and "cakewalk". Don't know if this is desirable or not, just in case here's the version that doesn't:
alert(/\b(cheese|cake)\b/i.test("cheese and cake")) // true
alert(/\b(cheese|cake)\b/i.test("cheeseburger and pancake")) // false

A: Don't you just want the following?
var result = input.match("cheese") || input.match("cake");

A: var matched = !!('cheese'.match(/(?:cheese|cake)/g));
alert(matched)

Or RegExp.prototype.test:
var matched = /cheese|cake/i.test('cheese cake');
alert(matched)


In an age where we're constantly inundated by content, it's become a bigger challenge for content to stand out, partly because there's more of it. According to TrackMaven, the average number of blog posts published per company per month increased 800% from 2011 to 2015, but social engagement decreased 89%.
It's a simple economics issue: supply on the internet has continued to increase, while there's little measure of demand in any aggregate way. But instead of exploring that demand, we're shown what's already popular or trending, from hashtags to search terms.
Topics with lots of eyeballs and less content are your opportunity to differentiate. What will you find if you look for the "in-demand" topics?
We used our data set in Currents to see. Here's what we uncovered by looking at content by demand—not pure popularity.
Topics ranked by views and then sorted by demand.
Case in point: we found that articles written about him in the Health & Fitness category get more views per post than topics you might typically associate with health or fitness. When it comes to what people have an "appetite" for online, perhaps tying policies to individuals health and wellness is more in demand that we realized.
Below we examine three categories of content across our network. See how the supply and demand equation for articles about Donald Trump works out for each.
Trump was the 32nd most viewed topic for content categorized under Health & Fitness in the latter half of 2018.
Sort that list by demand though, and he shoots right up to #2.
United States, the Republican Party, and the Democratic Party surround him in the top four. It appears that people want to read about how the U.S. government's policies affect their health.
In contrast to Health & Fitness content, in Business stories, Trump content is both the most viewed and the second most in-demand topic of content.
Whether it's criticism of the head of the Federal Reserve, the tariffs on China and Turkey, or allegations of fraud, there's plenty of appetite for Trump coverage in the Business sector.
The demand for Trump in the Business category is more pronounced over a time range of six months. Over shorter time ranges, like days or weeks, other topics bubble up. For instance, during the week of Jan. 21, 2019, the National Association of Realtors was the most in-demand topic in Business. The same week, news came out about the housing market's drop in December.
Trump remains the most viewed topic in Law, Gov't & Politics, but when it comes to demand, he doesn't even crack the top 15. Perhaps the supply has maxed out; one person can't read all of the content created about Trump and the administration in a given day.
So what do political readers want more of? While the data doesn't show demand for Trump himself, more readers per post come to articles about his 2016 presidential campaign. The top stories for this topic are mostly related to the Special Counsel investigation. That, coupled with Michael Cohen and Robert Mueller showing up as other very in-demand topics, may be a sign that readers want to better understand the investigation.
Need a place to hide? Where are the Trump-free zones?
