Q: Magento2 multistore setup, getStore()->getCode() shows default Add store codes to urls is set to yes.
Store code is: test.

*

*Default homepage for that store loads correctly: home cms page for
that particular store.

*In the menu the store code is added to the urls:
www.example.com/test/men.html
But when I add this code in a template file (one called in the homepage for example):
$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$store = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface');
echo "Code: ".$store->getStore()->getCode();
echo "Name: ".$store->getStore()->getName();

I get the default store code and default store code name.
Why is that? I didn't edit the index file or htaccess.
If I would go ahead and add this to the index file:
 $params = $_SERVER;
 $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = 'test';
 $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website';
 $bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $params);
 $app = $bootstrap->createApplication('Magento\Framework\App\Http');
 $bootstrap->run($app);

Then it will show the right store code, but I don't want to edit the index file as the client must be able create the stores in the admin without us editing files.

A: The issue was that the objectmanager was creating a new instance of the StoreManagerInterface. If I change it to
$objectManager->get('\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface')
then I get the right store code.

Q: AngularJS Component binding not updating the view on Callback I have an Angular Component (v1.6.5) which incorporates the following simplified scenario in its controller:
var $ctrl = this;

$ctrl.$onInit = function () {
    $ctrl.dataItem = {
        showsOK: true
    }

    // works fine
    $ctrl.updateValues('showsOK2', true);

    // this definition is being passed to another component
    this.subComponentDefinition= {
        eventListeners: [
            {
                name: 'click',
                callback: function (event, map) {
                    // this is the callback where UpdateValues
                    // does not update the view
                    $ctrl.updateValues('showsOK3', false);
                }
            }
        ],
    };
}

$ctrl.updateValues = function (prop, val) {
    $ctrl.dataItem[prop] = val;
};

I may be missing something in how the new version of Angular handles those binding. are binding being dropped at some point before the callback is called?

Scott Frank (born March 10, 1960) is an American screenwriter and director.
Soon after their wedding, John and Jenny Grogan (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston) escape the brutal Michigan winters and relocate to a cottage in South Florida, where they are hired as reporters for competing newspapers. At The Palm Beach Post, Jenny immediately receives prominent front-page assignments, while at the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, John finds himself writing obituaries and two-paragraph articles about mundane news like a fire at the local garbage dump.
A career bank robber, Jack Foley (George Clooney), and a U.S. Marshal, Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez), are forced to share a car trunk during Foley's escape from a Florida prison. After he completes his getaway, Foley is chased by Sisco while he and his friends—right-hand man Buddy (Ving Rhames) and unreliable associate Glenn (Steve Zahn)—work their way north to Bloomfield Hills, a wealthy northern suburb of Detroit. There they plan to pay a visit to shady businessman Ripley (Albert Brooks), who foolishly bragged to them in prison years before about a cache of uncut diamonds hidden in his home.

This certainly isn't the best picture of me since I'm all hot and sweaty on a hike, but I still like it. Why? Well, there are many reasons. It was a beautiful evening and we were on a hike during golden hour. My husband and I had some time alone with our daughter and we all enjoyed being together. Without even planning it, I also happened to be wearing the perfect t-shirt for the moment - Positive Altitude. I love Life is Good t-shirts and I wear them most days during the summer. More than anything, I like this photo because I was happy when it was taken.
I feel like I'm generally a happy person and I'm grateful for that. I do think it's a skill you have to practice and keep sharp. Even with all the wonderful blessings in my life, I've had some struggles lately with feeling as happy as I should. When I get feeling down, I need to remind myself to take care of myself and pay attention to how I'm spending my time. It's easy for me to tell my children and husband that is what they should be doing, but much harder to actually practice what I preach.
I decided this was a great time to make a list of what helps me stay positive. These are things that give me altitude and lift me up! And since I'm lucky enough to live near some amazing mountain ranges, I'll share a photo I took on Saturday to illustrate my list.
- I'm not what you would call an "outdoorsy" person, but I've recently realized that I do need to get outside to feel happy and whole. I need a little sunshine on my face and being surrounded by nature brings me joy. Especially if I don't have to sleep in a tent. lol!
- Order and cleanliness are important to me. When my house is clean I feel so much better. Clutter and disorganization depresses me. I can deal with unmade beds, but piles of "stuff" make me feel anxious.
- Eating enough protein and fat makes a difference. I've lived off a very carb heavy diet for most of my life. Over the past 6 months I have come to learn how much better I feel when I get enough protein and fat (the healthy kind of fat). I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a year ago and I've been able to significantly lower my blood sugar with diet and exercise and a little metformin. I feel so much better now that I'm taking charge of my health. I still have a ways to go and I still love cookies way too much. I'm also learning to love the feeling of eating clean and strengthening my body.
- Reading books on a regular basis. I'm always happier when I'm incorporating time for reading in my life. It's so easy for me to get sidetracked with reading the news and social media and then not leaving time for books. Why is this so hard when I know better? Reading is actually very easy for me and I can get through books quickly. My biggest problem is that it's hard for me to put down a book once I've started it so I stay up way to late and then my sleep suffers. I wish I could find a happy medium on this.
- Spending time with family. When everyone is way too busy and over scheduled, it's stressful. I love having time to just be together. Now that my children are adults, I cherish those times even more. I love to just sit and chat with my family. I also love to play board and card games with them, go on adventures, watch shows, and just hang out.
- Time alone. That might seem counter to what I just listed, but I really do need time and space to myself. I spent 12 years as an only child. I went without a roommate for one year in college. I like the peace and quiet of being alone. That bothers some people. My husband and daughter don't like it. My son and I need it. I'm an introvert at heart but I also like to do fun things and be with people I love. I like to think of myself as a friendly introvert I guess. I definitely do need to recharge on my own.
- Finishing projects. I love the feeling of checking something off my to-do list. I like planning and making good things happen. I need to see results and progress or I get discouraged. I keep on top of this by constantly setting small goals for myself so I can feel accomplishment.
- Documenting memories is another big way to fill my personal bucket. When I combine words and photos I can tell a story that means something to me. It's also a gift for me to give to those around me. This is the way I create. This is what gives me a sense of accomplishment. When I get away from this, I notice a change in my level of happiness. My son even mentioned to me the other day that I haven't been scrapbooking and blogging like my usual self. It made me realize how important those activities are for my mental well being.
What lifts you up? How do you get to a Positive Altitude? Have you ever written down the things that make you happy? It's a great exercise and also a fun thing to include in a journal or scrapbook!


Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has arrested three yaba traders for hiding the drug in their stomachs from Mohakhali area of Dhaka on Sunday morning.
The drug traders are- Md Asad, 24, Md Shukur Ali, 21, and Md Shafikul Islam alias Shafik, 21.
RAB-1 Commanding Officer Lt Col Sarwar Bin Kashem confirmed the matter to the Dhaka Tribune.
According to Sarwar, acting on a tip-off, RAB conducted a raid in the area around icddr,b Diagnostic Unit at around 9am and arrested the three.
Nothing was found on their body after a primary search, he said. However, their movements raised suspicion among the RAB, upon which they interrogated the three.
"They admitted hiding yaba inside their stomach," said the commanding officer. "Later, we recovered 1,820 pieces of yaba tablets from their stomach."
Sarwar said upon further interrogation, the arrestees confessed collecting yaba from a supplier in Cox's Bazar, which they put in small packets and pushed it up their rectums. They came to Dhaka to sell it at higher prices.
According to RAB, the arrestees admitted they had carried yaba tablets several times in their stomach to avoid getting caught by law enforcement agencies.
Legal actions will be taken against them, said RAB.


This August I turn fifty. Age doesn't bother me.
I recall reading a quote which made reference to the "second half of our lives being better than the first." Of course it is what we make of it.
I plan on making the second half of my life better than the first.
Take time everyday to sit and ponder life; to drink deeply from what life offers. Walk your dog, sip your coffee and really immerse yourself in the sights, sounds and smells of life.
Ask yourself what you can do to make the lives of those around you richer. You may not realize this, but by enriching the lives of others, our lives become richer.
I Love This! GettinG To Know You Has Made My Life Richer! Good Friends Are Hard To Find And Harder To Keep! I LovE Your Reference To Enjoy Simple Things Like Sipping Coffee And Takimg Your Dog For A Walk! Making Other Peoples Lives Richer…Eloquent!
Thank you Lisa! It is the simple things in life which we overlook and instead we focus on what we believe is important and what we believe will bring us happiness. Unfortunately for many of us it is late in life, sometimes too late before we figure this out. Thanks for reading.
You're Welcome! II Enjoy Reading Your Blog! IT is Very Inspirational ! I Too Am Learning As I Get Older To Appreciate The Small Things!


In this Feature Spotlight we're talking about conjoint analysis. Many people tend to shy away from conjoint because it seems very complicated, when in reality, it is not that difficult and quite useful for businesses. For those that are completely new to conjoint, check out our Beginner's Guide to Conjoint Analysis first. There's a great infographic that explains the main types of conjoint and their applications, as well as a real-world example. Once you feel comfortable with the overview, keep reading to learn more about how to set up conjoint in this feature spotlight.
In the simplest terms, conjoint is a trade-off analysis. Every single day, consumers are faced with a trade-off. Imagine that you are grocery shopping. You compare products, ingredients, sizes, flavors, brands, prices and so much more. You are weighing the different attributes in your mind to achieve the best value for your money. This is essentially what conjoint analysis is. With the Survey Analytics platform, you can conduct choice based conjoint to get feedback on a new product before it is received in the marketplace.
Choice based conjoint is predominantly used to help evaluate new products, or variations of existing products, before entering the ever-changing marketplace. Conjoint allows researchers to simulate the decisions that consumers would make before the heavy costs of product development. It is a very inexpensive method to gathering feedback on new products.
To set up conjoint in a survey, first log into your Survey Analytics account. Click on "Create a new survey" or "Add question to this survey." Scroll down a bit, then click on "Conjoint (Discrete Choice)".
This is the next screen you will see. First enter the header/ instructions that you want your survey respondents to read. In the features box, enter each feature on a new line. Examples of features are price, size, flavor, color etc. Once you have entered your features they will autopopulate in the box below. In these boxes, enter the desired levels. Again, enter one per line. Click on save question.
This is how the choice based conjoint will look in your survey. As you can see, respondents must choose between the features you entered, in this case price and flavor. This will force them to choose which attributes are most important to them.
Finally, once your survey has the desired number of responses, you can view reports. Click on "Analytics" across the top bar. Scroll down towards the bottom and click "Conjoint Analysis" on the left side, then "Reports" on the right side. From there you can view the best and worst profiles, relative importance and even more data.
For more in-depth information on Conjoint and MaxDiff, check out our past webinar replay and slides here. To read the Q&A session from that webinar, go here. Check out the infographic below on the basics of conjoint.

10 New Albums to Stream Today
By Lizzie Manno & Paste Staff | June 21, 2019 | 10:06am
Photos by Dan Kendall, Joe Agius, David James Swanson Music Lists New Albums
This Friday's releases include some of the best guitar records of the year so far. To name a few: The Raconteurs are back with their first album in over a decade, British experimental newbies black midi released their indefinable debut album Schlagenheim and Australian singer/songwriter Hatchie wrapped us in a warm pop blanket with her first album Keepsake. Scroll down to hear 10 essential new albums released today (June 21).
1. Hot Chip, A Bath Full of Ecstasy
Hot Chip's new album, A Bath Full of Ecstasy, isn't so much a huge departure from their synth-pop strengths as it is a sharpening of the knives they already possess. The aforementioned "ecstasy" that inhabits this LP is marked by polychromatic melodies, squiggly sonics, pulsing rhythms and Alex Taylor's tuneful, often morphing pop vocals. —Lizzie Manno
2. The Raconteurs, Help Us Stranger
It's been over a decade since Grammy-winning rockers The Raconteurs released a new album. While Jack White likened the new LP's sound to "a World War," a press release promises that it blends together "prodigious riffs, blues power, sinewy psychedelia, Detroit funk, and Nashville soul via Benson and White's uncompromising songcraft and the band's steadfast musical muscle." —Scott Russell
3. Hatchie, Keepsake
Ever since we first heard the lush Cranberries-esque guitar strums that opened last year's Sugar and Spice, Hatchie's debut EP, we've been desperately waiting for a full album from the Australian dream pop artist. One of our best new artists of 2018 delivers her debut, Keepsake, one that's more polished and Sky Ferreira-esque than last year's EP, fully capitalizing on the promise of that first handful of songs. —Steven Edelstone
4. Bedouine, Bird Songs of a Killjoy
Bedouine first alerted curious ears with her swooning self-titled debut back in 2017, solidifying herself as a notable contender of the folk genre. Bird Songs of a Killjoy continues the Aleppo-born, Saudi Arabia- and America-raised musician's collaborative partnership with Gus Seyffert (Beck, Norah Jones, Michael Kiwanuka). —Scott Russell
5. black midi, Schlagenheim
Following a much-hyped run at this year's South By Southwest, young English rockers black midi have unleashed their debut album, Schlagenheim. It's misshapen, unpredictable, and at times murky, other times freakishly precise. It's an experimental rock carousel with both a charming craftiness and menacing grandiosity. —Lizzie Manno
6. Mannequin Pussy, Patience
Mannequin Pussy's first two albums—2014's GP and 2016's Romantic—are both under 20 minutes and feature speedy jolts of punk along with the occasional glimmer of dulcet-toned pop. But the Philadelphia punk outfit's new LP is crisper, poppier, longer and more fully realized than anything they've released before. —Lizzie Manno
7. Buddy & Julie Miller, Breakdown on 20th Ave. South
Husband and wife Americana duo Buddy & Julie Miller released their forthcoming reconciliation album Breakdown on 20th Ave. South, their first since 2009's Written in Chalk. Out of the roughly 60 songs Julie wrote during the new album sessions, the duo selected 12 for its final tracklist. —Montana Martin
8. The Ocean Blue, Kings and Queens / Knaves and Thieves
Hershey, Pa., outfit The Ocean Blue emerged at the tail end of the '80s with much-loved dream pop gems like "Between Something and Nothing" and "Ballerina Out of Control." Though their musical output has dwindled as of late, they've still maintained a cult following. Fans will be happy to learn about their new album, Kings and Queens / Knaves and Thieves, their first LP since 2013's Ultramarine. —Lizzie Manno
9. Fruit Bats, Gold Past Life
The new record from Fruit Bats, aka Eric D. Johnson's alt-folk band and songwriting project, marks Johnson's seventh studio effort under the Fruit Bats name and his third in an "unintentional thematic trilogy" of albums beginning with 2014's EDJ, which he released under his own initials. Following five years of political and personal chaos, Gold Past Life promises a shimmery new beginning. —Ellen Johnson
10. Titus Andronicus, An Obelisk
An Obelisk, the sixth album from Titus Andronicus, will feature production by punk legend and recent tour-mate Bob Mould (Hüsker Dü, Sugar) and promises a fiery contrast to the milder trappings of their 2018 album, A Productive Cough. More upbeat, rock-heavy cadences lend the album a brisk 38-minute runtime—the shortest of the band's discography. —Lindsay Thomaston

WASHINGTON (Army News Service) -- Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Mark A. Milley honored four individuals with the Outstanding Civilian Service Award during the Chief of Staff of the Army Salute Thursday, Sept. 15.
"They love those who serve and want to make a true difference, not only for the nation, but they want to make a true difference for our Soldiers, our families," said Milley at the ceremony, which was held in conjunction with a twilight tattoo ceremony at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall.
The civilians honored that day included country musician Trace Adkins; John Bunch, founder of the nonprofit "Operation Open Arms"; Dr. Briana Goff, a researcher of traumatic brain injury; and Spencer Kympton, founder of the nonprofit "The Mission Continues."
Country musician Trace Adkins has used "his country music and success on the movie scene as a platform for supporting you and I in uniform and all of our families," Milley said.
The country musician is widely known for his public advocacy of the Wounded Warrior Project, and he also lends his talent to supporting "Til Duty is Done," a nonprofit organization that strives to eliminate veteran homelessness, and that also helps prepare veterans to re-enter the workforce, Miley said.
Adkins is also a strong supporter of Operation Homefront, a nonprofit organization aimed at building strong military families that also provides mortgage-free homes to eligible injured veterans, Milley said.
Since 2002, Adkins has entertained around 50,000 Soldiers and family members at 100 performances on 45 military installations and in nine countries, including Iraq and Afghanistan, Milley said. Adkins was the first entertainer to travel to the Middle East with the USO.
Merchant Marine Capt. John "GiddyUp" Bunch, a former Marine, decided to use his successful fishing charter as a platform to provide a unique service for veterans, Milley said.
Bunch was inspired by a conversation with a Soldier on leave from a combat zone to provide the Soldier with a free fishing charter, and the act of kindness rapidly expanded into what is known today as "Operation Open Arms."
Since it started in 2015, more than 150 businesses, associations and individuals in Florida have sponsored the organization, Milley said.
Besides providing vacations for service members, Operation Open Arms has facilitated weddings, paid for counseling services and, most recently, helped a family honor their Marine who died in a helicopter crash.
In all, Bunch has helped more than 3,400 service members with benefits valued at more than $12 million, Milley said.
Bunch is so humble and so focused that he once declined an invitation of personal thanks from former President George Bush for an invitation.
"Why did he turn it down? He did it to take a Soldier on a free charter to go fishing," Milley said.
"He didn't want to break his date with a Soldier to have a date with the president of the United States. He made his commitment to that sergeant six months prior, and he kept his commitment."
TBI RESEARCH
Dr. Briana S. Nelson Goff has taken the lead nationally to examine the effects of military deployments on service members and their families, Milley said.
She has served as a strong advocate for families as director of the Institute for the Health and Security of Military Families at Kansas State University, where she specializes in identifying trauma symptoms among Soldiers and their family members.
Goff also teaches speech and language support for traumatic brain injury recovery and she researches the long-term effect of TBI on the well-being of veterans and families, the chief said.
In her work, she facilitates the collaboration on best practices between a large number of organizations as well as the military, aimed at understanding trauma and healing, he added.

In the case of serious behavior problems that threaten the safety of the child or others, it may be necessary to suspend or remove the child from the ED Center program. This decision will be made at the discretion of the school principal and/or Director of the ED Center Program.


For the next part in my series on getting the internship of your dreams, we're going to talk about interviews.
In case you missed the other articles in this series, learn how to clean up your internet identity, how to put together a killer cover letter and resume, and finally, find out where to look for fashion-related internships!
Now that you're caught up, I'm going to show you how to nail an interivew. Interviews are a crucial part of scoring an internship. Sure, you can sound incredible on a piece of paper and in your resume, but your appearance, attitude, and ability to answer questions face-to-face (or over the phone in many cases) can become the deciding factor in whether or not you get the internship of your dreams.
From the way you express yourself verbally to what you wear, we have tips on how to make yourself the #1 candidate after an interview.
If you want to work for the company, it makes sense for you to know a little about their history. You don't need to remember dates or how many employees they have, but it's always nice to know a company's reputation. Even if you didn't know the company before you got the interview, you can always find information on Google that will impress the potential employer you meet with.
A first-round interview is your chance to blow the person interviewing you away. I know it's nerve racking, so do something calming before you enter the interview room in order to keep cool, such as having a cup of tea with your breakfast or taking a few deep breaths. It'll do wonders.
There's no set list of questions that an employer will ask when they interview you, but there are some generic questions you may want to look over before you step into an interview. (Unless, of course, you're interviewing with Google!) Answering these questions in the privacy of your own home or with a friend will help you build confidence as well as prepare you for some of the more basic questions you may have to answer at your interview.
Remember: always try to turn weaknesses into strengths. For instance, if your loved ones tease you for being compulsively clean, spin it and tell your employer you can't help but be organized at all times!
This is so important in my opinion. Smiling makes you seem excited about the opportunity, engaged, and likable. Also, remember the person's name who is interviewing you, then repeat it later in the conversation (if you get an opportunity). Repeating someone's name shows that you are paying attention, which immediately makes them feel like you are interested in them. Mention their name, whether it's when you are thanking them for their time or just answering any other question.
You may also want to try and pick up on cues from the environment around you. If you see something specific in the room/office, such as several pictures of a pet, you may want to connect to the interviewer and mention your own pet! Once again, this shows your interest in the interviewer, which will be perceived as interest in the job/company and the people working for them.
It's very important to focus on the person you're interviewing with. You don't want your eyes wandering while in the midst of conversation; it comes off as rude and makes you seem disinterested.
Bring samples of your work.
If you are applying for an internship in design, photography, writing, graphic design, etc., you should definitely have samples of all of your work readily available to show the interviewer.
If you live in a different state than where the internship you're applying is, you may have no choice but to do a phone interview. Sometimes, phone interviews are easier for people to do since it doesn't require a special outfit and there's no one staring directly at you to make you nervous or feel pressured.
It's also possible to have a "cheat sheet" during a phone interview, which can take the pressure off. You can have a list of notes out while you're on the phone so you can remember things you definitely want to mention.
Be in a silent room by yourself. Do not use this time to chew gum, food, smoke, or drink.
Make sure you are using a phone with a good connection. If you have a phone that is actually connected to a phone line, that's probably your best bet, but cell phones are fine – just make sure you're in an area with good reception.
Keep your resume nearby so that you can refer back to it if necessary.
Keep a pen and paper with you in order to take notes about the position. Your potential employer may mention details about the job that were not listed in the ad for it, and you will definitely need this information, especially if you are asked back for a second interview or asked to take the job.
Consider dressing up for your phone interview as you would an in-person interview. It can actually make you sound more professional over the phone.
Smile during a phone interview, too! You want to sound happy and excited about the possibility of working for this company, and smiling will help you portray that even on a phone interview.
Here are some more basic tips to help you ace your interview and land the internship.
Always say thank you at the end of the interview and shake the interviewer's hand.
You should always follow up with a thank you note or e-mail. Make sure you take the interviewer's business card on your way out so that you have their direct contact information.
Look and feel put-together. Don't wear your most uncomfortable shoes or skirt in order to look nice. You want to wear something that you would probably wear to work, so think about this: would you want to be running for coffee or sitting at a desk all day long in the outfit you put on? Plus, if you're uncomfortable, you may not be able to hide it.
Tip: If you aren't comfortable wearing heels, wear a pair of ballet flats or flip flops, then carry the heels in your bag. Before you go into the interview, swap the comfy shoes for the heels!
Next week, I will show you what to wear to an interview for an internship in the fashion industry. Since so many of you want to work in fashion, but maybe aren't sure what to wear for that all-important interview, I'll help you out with some sample outfits and tips. Make sure to check back next Tuesday!
Do you have any tips that have helped you during interviews? Did you learn anything new? Do you have an interview coming up where you can apply these skills? Let us know in a comment!

The Elegiac Passion: Jealousy In Roman Love Elegy
by Caston, Ruth Rothaus
The passions were a topic of widespread interest in antiquity, as has been shown by the recent interest and research in the emotions in Greek and Roman literature. Until now, however, there has been very little focus on love elegy or its relation to contemporary philosophical positions. Yet Roman love elegy depends crucially upon the passions: without love, anger, jealousy, pity, and fear, elegy could not exist at all. The Elegiac Passion provides the first investigation of the ancient representation of jealousy in its Roman context, as well as its significance for Roman love elegy itself. The poems of Propertius, Tibullus, and Ovid are built upon the presumed existence of a love triangle involving poet, mistress, and rival: the very structure of elegy thus creates an ideal scenario for the arousal of jealousy.This study begins by examining the differences between the elegiac treatment of love and that of philosophy, whether Stoic or Epicurean. Ruth Caston uses the main chapters to address the depiction of jealousy in the love relationship and explores in detail the role of the senses, the role of readers--both those internal and external to the poems--, and the use of violence as a response to jealousy. Elegy provides a multi-faceted perspective on jealousy that gives us details and nuances of the experience of jealousy not found elsewhere in ancient literature. She argues that jealousy turns centrally on the question of fides. The fear of broken obligations and the consequent lack of trust are relevant not only to the love affair that forms the subject of these poems but to many other relationships represented in elegy as well. Overall, she demonstrates that jealousy is not merely the subject matter of elegy: it creates and structures elegy's various generic features. Jealousy thus provides a much more satisfying explanation for the specific character of Roman elegy than the various theories about its origins that have typically been put forward.

How Broadcast Networks Covered Climate Change In 2016
Mediamatters.org, March 17, 2017
In 2016, evening newscasts and Sunday shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC, as well as Fox Broadcast Co.'s Fox News Sunday, collectively decreased their total coverage of climate change by 66 percent compared to 2015, even though there were a host of important climate-related stories, including the announcement of 2015 as the hottest year on record, the signing of the Paris climate agreement, and numerous climate-related extreme weather events. There were also two presidential candidates to cover, and they held diametrically opposed positions on the Clean Power Plan, the Paris climate agreement, and even on whether climate change is a real, human-caused phenomenon. Apart from PBS, the networks also failed to devote significant coverage to climate-related policies, but they still found the time to uncritically air climate denial -- the majority of which came from now-President Donald Trump and his team.
Total Climate Coverage On Broadcast Networks Cratered In 2016
Combined Climate Coverage On ABC, CBS, NBC, And Fox News Sunday Decreased Significantly From 2015 To 2016, Despite Ample Opportunity To Cover Climate Change. In 2016, ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday* aired a combined 50 minutes of climate coverage on their evening and Sunday news programs, which was 96 minutes less than in 2015 -- a drop of about 66 percent.
*Fox Broadcast Co. does not air a nightly news program
As was the case in 2015, ABC aired the least amount of climate coverage in 2016, covering the topic for just six minutes, about seven minutes less than in 2015. All the other major networks also significantly reduced their coverage from the previous year, with NBC showing the biggest decrease (from 50 minutes in 2015 to 10 minutes in 2016), followed by Fox (39 minutes in 2015 to seven minutes in 2016) and CBS (from 45 minutes in 2015 to 27 minutes in 2016).
Networks Had Ample Opportunity To Cover Climate Change In 2016. Despite the pronounced decline in climate coverage, the networks had ample opportunity to cover climate change in 2016. As The New York Times reported, in 2016, climate change took on "a prominence it has never before had in a presidential general election" given the stark contrast between the candidates' views. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump had a long track record of climate denial and differed with Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton on a range of important climate issues, including the Paris climate agreement, the Clean Power Plan, and the continued use of coal as an energy source, with Trump pledging that he would put coal miners "back to work" and Clinton proposing a plan that would help coal communities transition to clean energy. Additionally, there were also a host of non-election climate stories worthy of coverage in 2016, including extreme weather events tied to climate change, like Hurricane Matthew and the record-breaking rainfall and flooding in Louisiana (which the American Red Cross described as "the worst natural disaster to strike the United States since Superstorm Sandy"); the signing of the Paris climate agreement and the U.N. climate summit in Morocco; the official announcement from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that 2015 was the hottest year on record by far; and investigations by state attorneys general into whether ExxonMobil committed fraud by misleading the public on climate change. [The New York Times, 8/1/16; Media Matters, 5/26/16; The Huffington Post, 9/8/16; DonaldJTrump.com, 9/15/16; Media Matters, 3/15/16, 10/7/16, 8/17/16; The Huffington Post, 4/22/16; The Guardian, 4/22/16; InsideClimate News, 11/3/16; The New York Times, 1/20/16; InsideClimate News, 12/28/16]
ABC, CBS, NBC, And Fox Failed To Discuss Climate-Related Ramifications Of A Clinton Or Trump Presidency Until After The Election. ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox News Sunday did not air a single segment informing viewers of what to expect on climate change and climate-related policies or issues under a Trump or Clinton administration. While these outlets did devote a significant amount of coverage to Trump's presidency, airing 25 segments informing viewers about the ramifications or actions of a Trump administration as they relate to climate change, all of these segments aired after the election. Examples of post-election coverage include a PBS NewsHour segment about Trump's selection of Scott Pruitt to head the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Pruitt's history of climate denial and ties to the fossil fuel industry; a CBS Evening News segment about Trump appointing climate denier Myron Ebell to his EPA transition team; and an NBC Nightly News report on Trump's promise to roll back President Barack Obama's executive actions on climate change. [PBS NewsHour, 12/7/16; CBS Evening News, 11/15/16; NBC Nightly News, 11/9/16**]
**We included citations of specific shows when we described the content of a segment. We did not include show citations for general tallies. We linked to episodes that were available online but listed only the date for those that were not.
PBS NewsHour Was The Only Show To Discuss Climate Ramifications Of A Clinton Or Trump Presidency Prior To The Election. PBS NewsHour*** was the only show in our study that examined what impact a Trump or a Clinton presidency would have on climate-related issues and policies before the election. On the September 7 edition of PBS NewsHour, correspondent William Brangham discussed "what a Clinton or Trump administration might mean with regards to climate change" with The New York Times' Coral Davenport and The Washington Post's Chris Mooney. And a September 22 segment explored "what the early days of a Trump presidency might look like" and featured Judy Woodruff interviewing Evan Osnos of The New Yorker about whether Trump would renounce the Paris climate agreement. [PBS NewsHour, 9/22/16, 9/7/16]
***Unlike the nightly news shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC that air for a half hour seven days a week, PBS NewsHour airs five days a week and is a half hour longer.
Tyndall Report Found No Discussion Of Climate Change In Issues Coverage During Campaign. The Tyndall Report, which tracks the broadcast networks' weeknight newscasts, analyzed election-related issues coverage on the major networks' weeknight newscasts and found no issues coverage devoted to climate change in 2016 up through October 25. The Tyndall Report defines election-related issues coverage as that which "takes a public policy, outlines the societal problem that needs to be addressed, describes the candidates' platform positions and proposed solutions, and evaluates their efficacy." [The Intercept, 2/24/17; Media Matters, 10/26/16; Tyndall Report, 10/25/16]
Networks Aired A Disproportionate Amount Of Climate Coverage After Election Day. In the roughly 45 weeks before the November 8 election, the networks aired a total of 55 segments about climate change -- roughly one per week. After the election, the networks aired 32 climate-related segments over approximately seven weeks till the end of the year -- about five stories per week.
Networks Ignored Links Between Climate Change And National Security And Rarely Addressed Economic And Public Health Impacts, But Some Detailed Impacts On Extreme Weather And Plants And Wildlife.
Networks Did Not Air A Single Segment On Link To National Security. Numerous military and intelligence organizations have sounded the alarm on climate change's connection to national security. A September 2016 report prepared by the National Intelligence Council and coordinated with the U.S. intelligence community stated, "Climate change and its resulting effects are likely to pose wide-ranging national security challenges for the United States and other countries over the next 20 years." And following Trump's election victory, "a bipartisan group of defense experts and former military leaders sent Trump's transition team a briefing book urging the president-elect to consider climate change as a grave threat to national security," E&E News reported. Yet the national security implications of climate change never came up in any of the networks' climate coverage for 2016. [Media Matters, 1/13/17; Scientific American, 11/15/16]
PBS Was The Only Network To Address Economic Impacts Of Climate Change. PBS was the only network to report on the economic impacts of climate change. Two segments about Washington state's carbon tax ballot initiative that aired on the April 21 and October 20 editions of PBS NewsHour featured the president of the Washington State Labor Council explaining that Washington's shellfish industry "has left the state and gone to Hawaii because the acid levels in the ocean has risen so much." And on the November 17 edition of PBS NewsHour, correspondent William Brangham reported that 365 American companies "have written to the president-elect imploring him to uphold the Paris accords and warning -- quote -- 'Failure to build a low-carbon economy puts American prosperity at risk.'" [PBS NewsHour, 4/21/16, 10/20/16, 11/17/16]
Networks Rarely Addressed How Climate Change Impacts Public Health.
The World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Climate Assessment have all concluded that climate change has a significant influence on human health and disease. And as 2016 saw the first local spread of the Zika virus in the continental United States, Climate Signals found that "climate change creates new risks for human exposure to vector-borne diseases such as Zika, particularly in the United States where rising heat and humidity are increasing the number of days annually in which disease vectors thrive." However, only two segments on NBC Nightly News dealt with the link between climate change and public health -- no other network covered the issue. In a January 18 report about the spread of Zika, correspondent Tom Costello noted, "Researchers are also studying whether climate change and El Nino are causing certain mosquitoes populations to grow." And a July 4 report about a massive algae bloom creating a toxic emergency in Florida featured correspondent Gabe Gutierrez explaining, "The debate is raging over what`s to blame for this latest growth, but scientists say there are many factors including population growth and climate change." [World Health Organization, accessed 3/21/17; CDC.gov, accessed 3/21/17; National Climate Assessment, accessed 3/21/17; Climate Signals, 8/23/16; NBC Nightly News, 1/18/16, 7/4/16]
CBS And ABC Rarely Covered Climate Link To Extreme Weather, While NBC And Fox Ignored It Completely. 2016 saw no shortages of extreme weather events influenced by climate change, with Hurricane Matthew making landfall on the East Coast; wildfires -- which have become a consistent threat thanks, in part, to climate change -- charring more than 100,000 acres in seven states in the Southeast; and record rainfall and flooding in Louisiana causing what the American Red Cross called "the worst natural disaster to strike the United States since Superstorm Sandy." Yet NBC and Fox never addressed the link between climate change and extreme weather, while CBS did so in four segments and ABC did so in just one segment. By contrast, PBS NewsHour aired eight segments dealing with the link between climate change and extreme weather. [The Weather Channel, 10/9/16; Media Matters, 10/6/16; The New York Times, 11/29/16; Climate Central, 11/23/16; Media Matters, 8/17/16]
PBS Led The Networks In Stories Detailing Climate Impacts On Plants And Wildlife.
PBS provided the most coverage of climate impacts on plants and wildlife (six segments), followed by CBS and NBC (three segments each), and ABC (one segment). Examples of this reporting included a "Climate Diaries" segment on CBS Evening News about how climate change is "taking a toll on endangered mountain gorillas" in Central Africa by making their food supply less predictable and forcing human populations searching for water into their territory and an NBC Nightly News segment about how Yellowstone grizzlies are threatened because one of their food sources -- seeds from whitebark pine trees -- has been decimated by climate change. Another example was a PBS NewsHour segment reporting that "two-fifths of bees, butterflies, and related pollinating species are heading toward extinction" thanks to "a range of factors, ranging from pesticide use to climate change to habitat loss." [CBS Evening News, 11/17/16; NBC Nightly News, 5/22/16; PBS NewsHour, 2/26/16]
Specific Climate-Related Policies Received Sparse Coverage Outside Of PBS
The Clean Power Plan Was Almost Completely Ignored On Sunday Shows And Received Sparse Coverage On Nightly News Shows. The broadcast networks provided scant coverage of the Clean Power Plan even though Trump had promised during the campaign to eliminate the policy. The Clean Power Plan establishes the first-ever federal limits on carbon pollution from power plants and serves as the linchpin of President Obama's program to meet the nation's emissions reduction obligation under the Paris agreement. Fox News Sunday was the only Sunday show to feature a climate-related segment on the Clean Power Plan, in which Washington Post editorial writer Charles Lane claimed that the Democrats' focus on the plan is an example of how "environmentalism in a crucial way worked against the Democratic Party this year," because Trump carried coal-dependent states in the election. But contrary to Lane's claim, numerous polls conducted in the run-up to the election indicated that a majority of Americans consider climate change an important issue and favor government action to address it. On nightly news shows, ABC was the only network that did not air a climate-related segment on the plan, while PBS NewsHour covered the Clean Power Plan the most (seven segments), followed by CBS Evening News (three segments) and NBC Nightly News (two segments). [DonaldJTrump.com, 9/15/16; The White House, 8/3/15; The New York Times, 3/2/16; Fox News Sunday, 11/13/16; Media Matters, 11/29/16]
PBS Far Outpaced Networks In Coverage Of U.N. Climate Agreement And Summits. In 2016, world leaders met on Earth Day for the signing ceremony of the Paris climate agreement reached by 195 nations and later again in Morocco for talks about implementing the climate accord. In Trump's first major speech on energy policy, in May, he vowed that he would "cancel" the Paris climate agreement. But after the election he told The New York Times, "I have an open mind to it." Despite these developments, PBS was the only network to devote significant coverage to the U.N. climate agreement and U.N. climate-related summits, doing so in 21 segments, while CBS aired five segments, NBC and ABC aired just three, and Fox aired just two. [USA Today, 4/22/16; The New York Times, 12/12/15; InsideClimate News, 11/3/16; BBC.com, 5/27/16; DonaldJTrump.com, 5/26/16; The New York Times, 11/23/16]
CBS, NBC, And Fox Addressed The Climate Impacts Of The Keystone XL Pipeline Only Once, While ABC And PBS Failed To Do So At All. During the campaign, Clinton and Trump staked out opposing positions on whether to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport tar sands oil that is 17 percent dirtier than average and would "increase emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases linked to global warming" from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast. Yet there was a dearth of coverage on Keystone XL's link to climate change, with CBS, NBC, and Fox each airing just one segment that connected Keystone XL to climate change and ABC and PBS ignoring the topic completely. The networks also ignored Keystone XL more broadly -- airing just four additional non-climate-related segments on the pipeline. [Business Insider, 9/25/16; Media Matters, 1/15/15]
Fox Was The Only Network To Cover The Dakota Access Pipeline In A Climate Context. The Standing Rock Sioux and other Native American tribes, as well as environmental activists, protested against the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline in 2016, citing, among other concerns, the impact a continued buildup of oil infrastructure would have on climate change. Yet Fox was the sole network to cover the Dakota Access pipeline in a climate context. On the December 11 edition of Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace previewed his upcoming interview with Trump by saying that he would "ask [Trump] to clear up exactly where he stands on climate change." After returning from a commercial break, Wallace said to the Trump, "Let me ask you a couple specific questions. Will you still pull out of the Paris climate agreement, which has been signed by more than 100 countries to reduce carbon emissions? Will you restart the Dakota Access pipeline, which the Army just stopped?" To which Trump replied that he was "studying" the Paris climate agreement and would "have [Dakota Access] solved very quickly" when he takes office. ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS did air multiple segments on the Dakota Access pipeline (airing eight, 10, four, and 10 segments, respectively), but none of these segments linked it to climate change. [MPR News, 12/7/16; Time, 12/1/16, 10/28/16; Fox News Sunday, 12/11/16]
Major Networks Completely Ignored The "Exxon Knew" Story. Reports from InsideClimate News and the Los Angeles Times revealed that Exxon's own scientists had confirmed by the early 1980s that fossil fuel pollution was causing climate change, yet Exxon-funded organizations helped manufacture doubt about the causes of climate change for decades afterward in what became known as the "Exxon knew" scandal. The reports prompted the attorneys general in New York, California, and Massachusetts to each launch investigations of Exxon, as well as countersuits from Exxon and subpoenas from members of Congress in defense of Exxon. Yet none of the networks covered any of these developments over the course of 2016. [Media Matters, 9/1/16; InsideClimate News, 12/28/16]
CBS, Fox, And PBS Uncritically Aired Climate Science Denial In 2016 -- All Of Which Came From Trump Or Trump Officials
CBS, Fox, And PBS Aired A Combined Five Segments That Included Unrebutted Climate Science Denial In 2016 -- All From Trump Or Trump Officials. In 2016, CBS Evening News, PBS NewsHour, and Fox News Sunday aired a combined five segments that misled audiences by featuring climate science denial. Half of Fox News Sunday's climate-related segments included climate denial. In every instance, it was Trump or Trump officials promoting denial.
• On the September 27 edition of CBS Evening News, correspondent Julianna Goldman fact-checked a portion of the September 26 presidential debate in which Clinton stated, "Donald thinks that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese. I think it's real," and Trump interjected, "I did not. I did not. … I do not say that." Goldman noted that Trump had in fact tweeted that climate change is a hoax, but she did not fact-check the veracity of Trump's statement that climate change was a hoax. [CBS Evening News, 9/27/16; Media Matters, 5/26/16]
• On the November 9 edition of PBS NewsHour, during a segment on world leaders' reactions to Trump's election victory, correspondent Margaret Warner reported, "Also in question is America's participation in the Paris climate accord. Trump has called climate change a hoax, and while it would take four years to formally pull out of the agreement, there are no sanctions in place for ignoring it." And in a report on the ways in which Trump would dismantle environmental policy on the November 17 edition of PBS NewsHour, correspondent William Brangham stated, "Trump has repeatedly expressed his own skepticism about climate change, like in this 2012 tweet, when he said: 'The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing noncompetitive.' Two years later, he wrote: 'Global warming is an expensive hoax.'" In neither instance did the correspondent note that Trump's statements are at odds with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-caused. [PBS NewsHour, 11/9/16, 11/17/16]
• Shortly after Trump's interview with The New York Times in which he stated that he had an "open mind" on climate change and the Paris climate agreement, Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace asked Trump's incoming chief of staff, Reince Priebus, how flexible Trump would be on his campaign promises. Priebus answered that as "far as this issue on climate change -- the only thing he was saying after being asked a few questions about it is, look, he'll have an open mind about it but he has his default position, which [is that] most of it is a bunch of bunk , but he'll have an open mind and listen to people." Priebus then moved on to discuss the potential nomination of Jim Mattis as defense secretary before Wallace concluded the interview. And during Wallace's interview with Trump on the December 11 edition of Fox News Sunday, Trump declared that "nobody really knows" whether human-induced climate change is happening. Wallace didn't challenge Trump's claim that blatantly misrepresents the consensus of the world's leading scientific institutions that human activities such as burning fossil fuels are the main cause of global warming. [The New York Times, 11/23/16; Fox News Sunday, 11/27/16, 12/11/16; NASA.gov, accessed 3/21/17]
Other Nightly News Segments On PBS, CBS, And NBC Also Included Climate Science Denial, But Reporters Pushed Back On Those Claims, Noting That They Conflicted With Established Climate Science. Segments on PBS, CBS, and NBC nightly news shows also included climate denial, but reporters noted that that these statements were at odds with established climate science.
• In a segment about Trump selecting Scott Pruitt as his nominee to head the Environmental Protection Agency on the December 8 edition of PBS NewsHour, anchor Judy Woodruff reported, "Pruitt is in sync with President-elect Trump on a range of issues, including his skepticism about man-made global warming. Writing in the National Review this year, he said: 'That debate is far from settled. Scientists continue to disagree about the degree and extent of global warming.' In fact, the vast majority of scientists agree that human activity contributes to global warming, all of which underscores questions about whether a Trump administration will refuse to abide by the Paris accords on greenhouse gas emissions." And on the December 14 edition of PBS NewsHour, Woodruff asked Sean Spicer, who was then communications director for the Republican National Committee, "Does the president-elect still believe, as he said on the campaign trail, that the science behind climate change is still not settled, in other words, something that most climate scientists say is absolutely correct?" Spicer replied by denying the consensus on human-caused climate change, stating that Trump "understands that there's elements of man, mankind, that affect climate, but the exact impact of it and what has to be done to change that is something there is some dispute about within the community, not just science, but within the industry." [PBS NewsHour, 12/8/16, 12/14/16]
• A November 15 CBS Evening News segment on the appointment of climate denier Myron Ebell to Trump's EPA transition team featured footage of Trump calling climate change a "hoax," followed by correspondent Chip Reid stating, "President-elect Donald Trump has left little doubt where he stands on the issue of climate change. He wants a dramatic increase in the production of coal and oil, which he says will create jobs. And his EPA transition team is being led by Myron Ebell, a leading climate change skeptic. Ebell, who is not a scientist, disagrees with the overwhelming majority of climate scientists who say the driving force behind the warming planet is the burning of fossil fuels." [CBS Evening News, 11/15/16]
• The December 14 edition of ABC's World News Tonight featured footage of Trump transition official Anthony Scaramucci denying climate change by arguing, "There was overwhelming science that the Earth was flat. ... We get a lot of things wrong in the scientific community." Correspondent Brian Ross introduced Scaramucci's comments as "a Trump transition official continu[ing] the public assault on established science." [ABC's World News Tonight, 11/14/16]
Because hosts or correspondents on these programs noted that the statements in question contradicted mainstream climate science, they were not counted as denial in our study.
Climate Scientists Were Completely Absent From ABC's World News Tonight … Again
For The Second Consecutive Year, ABC's World News Tonight Did Not Feature A Single Scientist In Its Climate Coverage. ABC's World News Tonight did not feature a single scientist in its climate coverage for the second year in a row. By contrast, NBC Nightly News and CBS Evening News featured five and six scientists, respectively, and PBS NewsHour featured 18.
Sunday Shows Did Not Feature A Single Scientist In Climate-Related Coverage. After featuring just two scientists over a five-year period from 2009 to 2013, the Sunday shows featured seven scientists in 2014 alone, and then backslid in 2015, quoting or interviewing just two scientists (4 percent of all Sunday show guests). In 2016, that backslide continued, with the Sunday shows featuring no scientists in their climate-related coverage.
PBS And CBS Frequently Aired Coverage Related To Climate-Related Scientific Research, While NBC And ABC Did So Less Often. PBS and CBS far outpaced their counterparts in the number of segments focusing on climate-related scientific research that they aired on nightly news shows. PBS NewsHour aired 10 segments on climate-related scientific research, including a segment that featured scientists explaining climate change's influence on wildfires in Southern California and flooding in Louisiana; CBS Evening News aired seven segments on climate-related research, including a segment featuring interviews with scientists who discovered unprecedented rates of sea ice melt in the Arctic Circle. Conversely, NBC Nightly News aired just three segments on climate-related research, and ABC's World News Tonight aired just two. None of the Sunday shows featured any segments on climate-related scientific research. [PBS NewsHour, 8/17/16; CBS Evening News, 3/4/16]
Sunday Shows' Climate Coverage Dropped By 85 Percent
Every Network's Sunday Show Significantly Decreased Its Climate Coverage. After dropping slightly from a high of 81 minutes of coverage in 2014 to 73 minutes in 2015, the Sunday shows' climate coverage dropped 85 percent to just 11 minutes of coverage in 2016 -- the third-lowest amount in the eight-year time frame Media Matters has examined. Every network saw significant declines in Sunday show coverage, with Fox leading the way (down 32 minutes from the previous year), followed by NBC (down 17 minutes), CBS (down 10 minutes), and ABC (down four minutes).
Bernie Sanders Brought Up Climate Change Four Times As Much As Hosts Did On ABC, CBS, And NBC Sunday Shows. On every Sunday show except Fox News Sunday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) brought up climate change significantly more often than the hosts themselves did. ABC's This Week, CBS' Face the Nation, and NBC's Meet the Press aired a combined five segments in which the hosts brought up climate change, while Bernie Sanders brought up climate change 21 times during his appearances on those shows. Because our study counted only those segments where a media figure brought up or discussed climate change, those 21 segments were not counted in this study's overall network tallies.
Nightly News Shows On ABC, CBS, and NBC Aired Roughly Half As Much Climate Coverage As They Did In 2015
NBC Nightly News And CBS Evening News Significantly Decreased Climate Coverage, And ABC Once Again Lagged Behind Network Counterparts. The nightly news shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC collectively decreased their climate coverage from approximately 73 minutes in 2015 to just over 39 minutes in 2016 -- a drop of 46 percent. NBC Nightly News had the biggest drop in climate coverage, decreasing by about 22 minutes, followed by CBS Evening News, which had a drop of approximately nine minutes. ABC's World News Tonight, which aired significantly less climate coverage than its competitors in 2014 and 2015, once again continued its downward trend, dropping even further from roughly seven minutes of climate coverage in 2015 to just four minutes in 2016.
For Second Year In A Row, PBS Aired More Climate Coverage Than All Other Nightly News Programs Combined. For the second consecutive year, PBS NewsHour aired more segments addressing climate change than the other nightly news shows combined. PBS NewsHour aired 46 climate-related segments, while ABC (five), CBS (19), and NBC (12) aired a combined 36 climate-related nightly news segments. However, PBS NewsHour's climate coverage decreased from 2015, when the network aired 58 climate-related segments.
CBS And NBC Nightly News Shows Have Stepped Up Climate Coverage In Early Months Of 2017
In 2017 So Far, CBS Evening News Has Already Aired More Than Half The Amount Of Climate Coverage It Did In All Of 2016. In the first few months of 2017, CBS Evening News has already aired about 17 minutes of climate-related coverage, just eight minutes less than the show aired for all of 2016. In fact, CBS Evening News aired nearly half as much climate coverage as it did in all of 2016 in just one week of 2017; this coverage was during a series of climate-related reports from Antarctica for its "Climate Diaries" series. [Media Matters, 2/13/17]
In Early Months Of 2017, NBC Nightly News Has Already Aired Nearly Half As Much Climate Coverage As It Did In All Of 2016. In just over two months, NBC Nightly News has already aired about five minutes of climate-related coverage, roughly half as much as the show aired for all of 2016.
This report analyzes coverage of "climate change" or "global warming" between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2016, on four Sunday news shows (ABC's This Week, CBS' Face the Nation, NBC's Meet the Press, and Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday) and four nightly news programs (ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News, and PBS NewsHour) based on Nexis transcripts. Fox Broadcasting Co. airs Fox News Sunday but does not air a nightly news equivalent; Fox News is a separate cable channel. PBS NewsHour is a half-hour longer than its network nightly news counterparts, but it airs five days a week, compared to seven days a week for the other nightly news shows (PBS NewsHour Weekend was not included in this analysis). In one instance, Nexis categorized a segment that did not mention "climate change" or "global warming" as being about climate change; because the segment provided other clear indications that it was indeed about climate change, it was included. To identify the number of segments networks aired on the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, we used the search terms Keystone w/20 pipe! And Dakota w/20 pipe!.
Our analysis includes any segment devoted to climate change, as well as any substantial mention (more than one paragraph of a news transcript or a definitive statement by a media figure) about climate change impacts or actions. The study did not include instances in which a non-media figure brought up climate change without being prompted to do so by a media figure unless the media figure subsequently addressed climate change. We defined media figures as hosts, anchors, correspondents, and recurring guest panelists. The study also does not include teasers if they were for segments that aired later on the same program. We acquired time stamps from iQ media and applied them generously for nightly news segments when the overall topic was related to climate change. For instance, if a nightly news segment about an extreme weather event mentioned climate change briefly, the entire segment was counted as climate coverage. However, if a significant portion of the segment was not related to climate change, such as a report on the pope giving a speech about climate change, immigration, religious freedom, and outreach to Cuba, only the portions of the segment that discussed climate change were counted. For the Sunday shows, which often feature wide-ranging discussions on multiple topics, we used only the relevant portion of such conversations. All coverage figures have been rounded to the nearest minute. Because PBS NewsHour is an hour-long show and the other networks' nightly news programs are half-hour shows, our analysis compared PBS NewsHour's climate coverage to other nightly news programs' coverage in terms of topics covered and number of segments, but not in terms of number of minutes.

1/700 Royal Navy 3"/70 (7.62 cm) MKVI Gun x1 (45º)
1/700 Royal Navy 3"/70 (7.62 cm) MKVI Gun x1 (45º) as used by the Royal Navy on Tiger Class Post-war Cruisers. This is a highly detailed part modelled using plans and many reference photographs.
1x Mount
Highly detailed and accurate parts, modelled from plans and photographic reference
Details include: Rivets and Hex nuts, Handrails, Venting, Open Sighting Position, Crew Access Doors and Crew Access Ladder
Barrel is printed at an elevation of 45º.
This was an AA mounting designed by Vickers for the Tiger class cruisers and later used on Canadian destroyer escorts. It had been intended to arm British frigates of the 1950s with this weapon, but it was not ready in time and the 4.5" (11.4 cm) Mark 6 was used in its place.
The development of the ammunition and the gun barrel was a joint British-American project, but each navy chose to design a completely different gun mount. The British mounting was less ambitious in concept and slightly more successful in practice than its American counterpart, the 3"/70 (7.62 cm) Mark 37 mounting.
The British mounting was prone to ammunition feed breakdowns and required much maintenance to keep in service. During refits for ships based on the West Coast, components of the mounting would be removed from the ship and then shipped by rail from Esquimalt, British Columbia, to the Naval Armament Depot in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, where they would be rebuilt and then shipped back to the West Coast. Later, Esquimalt became the primary center for maintaining these weapons.
The gun barrel was a water cooled monobloc type and used a vertically sliding breech mechanism. There is a three caliber smoothbore section near the muzzle (Probertised) to reduce loss of velocity and to act as a flash suppressor. The barrel is attached to the breech ring by interrupted threads (bayonet joint) and can be removed without dismounting the gun, similar to earlier USN designs.
The gun is designed such that the empty cartridge is ejected and the next round rammed while the gun is running out. The mounting has a local control cab on the right side of the mounting.

Only 10% of buyers can envision the property in any way other than how it is presented. Buyers easily become overwhelmed and uninspired. Vacant Home Staging fosters their imaginations and creates the vision necessary to allow them to see themselves living a desired lifestyle in the home.
Our designers start at the curb to ensure the buyer is excited when first viewing the property online and then again as they physically approach the property. Each room, presented as an incredibly luxurious, comfortable and beautiful living space, invites buyers to just mentally move right in!
The design team will transform each room by choosing just the right furniture, rugs, lighting, greenery and accessories to create the "Wow" factor that even the most discriminating buyer can't resist. We work with the largest and most versatile furniture rental companies and often incorporate our own specialty pieces. All furniture and accessories are available for purchase since many buyers love the look of the house as it is presented through the staging.
Our track record is unprecedented in the industry. Our Luxury Staged Homes sell quickly, at the highest prices in their market, and often the sale escalates into a bidding war.


In the foreword to the first edition of the well-known "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" the great physicist, Sir Isaac Newton wrote, in particular, that it would be desirable to extend the harmonious principles of mechanics to other natural phenomena. Since then, there were some attempts to identify certain analogies to mechanics in a number of separate sciences. However in a broad sense, the wish of Newton remained unrealized.
Today, with the advent of the concept Ring Determinism, we at last, have an opportunity to generalize the mechanics of Newton over a wide range of phenomena.
Let's start with the First law of Newton, which states: In the absence of external influences, a material body remains in a condition of rest or continues in uniform and rectilinear movement through inertia. This law is also known as "the law of inertia". And what is inertia? As a matter of fact, it describes the ability of a body to preserve the initial parameters of its own motion.
The formula of the Newton's second law is: F = m • a, where F = the size of the external force, m = size of inert mass, a = size of the acceleration of a body. If we rewrite this as: a = F / m it becomes obvious, that the larger the mass of a body, the greater external effort is required to apply the same acceleration to it. Actually, inertial mass here acts as a measure of its own internal resistance to the influence of the external force.
The third law of Newton states that any external influence on a body causes an equal and opposite action from the body. In other words, any separate body can adequately "answer" an external influence.
It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that in these laws, there is transparently implied for each separate material body, a certain special internal self-determining mechanism, the origin of which demonstrates an ability towards self-preservation and resistance to external influences. Until now, only teleology tried to explain the presence in each separate body of a special internal determination. There is no such explanation in the framework of materialism.
With the advent of the concept of Ring Determinism, it is possible to give this a strict scientific explanation and to generalize this and apply it to a wide range of phenomena. The concept of ring determinism asserts that in the case of casual or intentional closure of the ends of a segment of any causal chain, there is the creation of a closed causal steady or quasi-stable natural formation. Through continuous internal circulation, a specific internal determining stream can arise. The idea is that the presence of this continuous internal stream gives rise to creation of a new determining origin, which allows new formations. This is not only to affirm itself as a separate natural factor with a set of its own special properties, but also to oppose itself against the world and every possible external influence in material, power, force, information and other aspects.
The first law of determinism: In the absence of external influences, the separate natural formation retains its condition or continues motion, function, behaviour, development under the influence of its own internal determination.
The second law of determinism: the more strongly (of higher power) its own internal determining origin is expressed (developed), the greater the external effort that must be applied to its movement (life, behaviour, development) to induce change.
The third law of determinism: any external influence on a separate natural formation causes a corresponding reaction, as long as it keeps its structural and functional integrity. Clearly, this action is organized, carried out and directed by its own internal determination.
This necessarily applies the widest spectrum of things surrounding us, including temporary social groups, mighty atmospheric formations, computer software products, psychological aims and others that exhibit a separate natural formation.
So, the generalization of Newton's laws apply to a broad range of experience and enable us to say that they conform to constructive ordered principles. Furthermore the general theory of determinism receives a necessary modification.
