Temporal arteritis is also called giant cell arteritis or Horton's arteritis. It is a form of vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels). The condition usually affects people over the age of 50.
Temporal arteritis is a form of vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels). In temporal arteritis, also known as giant cell arteritis or Horton's arteritis, the temporal arteries (the blood vessels near the temples), which supply blood from the heart to the scalp, are inflamed (swollen) and constricted (narrowed). The vasculitis that causes temporal arteritis can involve other blood vessels, such as the posterior ciliary arteries (leading to blindness), or large blood vessels like the aorta and its branches, which can also lead to serious health problems.
Damage to eyesight, including sudden blindness in one or both eyes.
Damage to blood vessels, such as an aneurysm (a ballooning blood vessel that may burst).
Other disorders, including stroke or transient ischemic attacks ("mini-strokes").
How common is temporal arteritis?
Temporal arteritis is one of the most common vascular disorders, but is a relatively rare condition, affecting about 5 out of 10,000 people. It usually occurs in people who are over 50 years old, and affects women more often than men.
Often, tempeoral arteritis can be associated with an entity called polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), which is an inflammatory condition affecting the shoulders, hip girdle and neck. This leads to significant stiffness and pain. PMR is far more common than temporal arteritis, but up to 30 percent of temporal arteritis patients have PMR.
The causes of temporal arteritis are poorly understood. There is no well-established trigger or risk factors.
One cause may be a faulty immune response; i.e., the body's immune system may "attack" the body. Temporal arteritis often occurs in people who have polymyalgia rheumatica.

Like the photographs he has taken, his name is a condensation, a reduction to an essence that can't be easily forgotten. Hiro is the professional appellation of Yasuhiro Wakabayashi, born in Shanghai in 1930 and a fixture in the fashion world for more than 50 years. Apprenticed in the studio of Richard Avedon, he lasted only a year because Avedon saw that he was too talented to play second fiddle to anyone and sent him to the editor Alexey Brodovitch, who made him a staff photographer at Harper's Bazaar. The photographs recently purchased by the Getty Museum and the quintessential examples on view at Pace/MacGill Gallery (through April 16) make clear what they saw in the work of an unproven photographer, and why we are still looking. Peter MacGill's summary gives the broad strokes: "His pictures are superbly done, without compromises, visually clear and completely surprising in the elements they combine." The word most commonly applied to Hiro's photographs is surrealist. One of his most famous images involves a jeweled necklace adorning the hoof of a bull. Another shows the interplay of a chimp and a robotic arm.
The shock of incongruity is as sudden and certain as Méret Oppenheim's fur-lined teacup or Man Ray's woman-as-violin. To a current generation raised on Photoshop, Hiro's eye-catching juxtapositions would seem as well to anticipate the liberation of digital imagery from the constraints of the actual. Yet a closer look at this issue's cover image (Jerry Hall, Saint Martins, French West Indies, 1975) and others in the Pace/MacGill exhibition reveal the true source of Hiro's hiro-ism. It has less to do with concept and collision than it does with composition. Hiro turns Jerry Hall's profile into a graphic oval, divides the picture into intense zones of blue and brown, and joins them with a puff of smoke, like a cloud. During the 1960s, his photographic series of visors for Optico and his Harper's Bazaar cover of Marisa Berenson and a shoe, among others, introduced into fashion an extreme formalism that had everything to do with exploring the boundaries of photography and less to do with selling anything. Hiro's work is not immune to interpretation, and it's possible to read a symbolic story into the contrast between a hoof and a precious stone, but the power of the pictures lies elsewhere. His underlying goal seems to be challenging viewers' perceptions and point of view. In front of his best photographs we often ask, what are we seeing? and from what angle? Once we resolve the questions we are left with a sense of joy or lightness in the spirit of photographic play. Once upon a time, Henri Cartier-Bresson staged a photograph of a man in midstride stepping over a pool of water. Behind him on a wall was a poster of an acrobat, Cartier-Bresson's subtle comment that photography is a kind of magic, and that what you see at first is not all that you get. If Hiro is selling anything, it is joy in a medium that shows us things that seem impossible and makes us believe them.


Apple is set to make Google owned online video sharing site YouTube available through the Apple TV set-top box, reported the BBC.
As from mid-June, Apple TV have the capability to wirelessly stream thousands of the most popular videos from YouTube onto a television, while a full catalogue will be available in the autumn.
However some have speculated that the deal could drag Apple into the vivacious copyright battle between YouTube and content holders.
One such example, Viacom and its owner MTV Networks, sued YouTube for $1 billion in March, charging it with 'massive intentional copyright infringement' in reference to hundreds of thousands of Viacom-owned videos it found uploaded to the service without its permission.
However Viacom said it would be happy for the chance to license content to Apple: "We're always vigilant about protecting our copyrights," said a spokesperson. "But we would welcome the opportunity to license our content to Apple as we do with all distributors."

Object » Adamantium appears in 2505 issues.
A virtually indestructible man-made metal. Without a healing factor it is poisonous inside the body.
I believe marvel says adamantium cannot be destroyed, but I believe there must be someway, because adamantium is "VIRTUALLY" indestructible, it can be destroyed.
There must be some force in the universe that could break it. It has to break.
The serpent recently destroyed Captain America's shield by sheer strenght. I'm seeing him for example also being able to do something nasty to Adamantium.
Magneto manhandled the Adamantium more then once aswell.
People like Thor and Hulk can't.
If I remember correctly, they have dented it. And I think that is canon.
Anything and everything can be broken. In fiction, its even easier to.
Superman's skin can break it, or Silver Surfers.
It could easily be done if the writers wanted to. Plus, with all the powerful beings out there, there definitely has to be one who can break/bend it. Was it the humans who first said it was indestructible? Because they could in theory destroy it and say it was a misthought or ccalculation on the humans' part. Kind of like how Thor Dented Captain America's shield and it recently got broken, when it was previously thought to be impenetrable.
Superman isn't in this continuity, so its best not to bring him into the scene. Secondly the skin itself won't break it, it has more to do with the force applies in combination with said skin. I don't think silver surfer can break it either way. Galactus probably could.
EDIT: Nevermind, I do not. I just noticed that wasn't 616 Wolverine, which changes A LOT of things. In the Ultimate Universe for example, the Hulk can break Adamantium (albeit in small quantities) and the Hulk in the Ultimate universe is arguably weaker than his 616 version.
There's also that that is zombie Wolverine. I'm not completely sure because I can't see the dialogue and the rest of the pictures are small, but to me it looks more like his skin giving way, not the adamantium breaking.
@ReVamp: @SurelockeHomes: The zombie universe is supposed to be exactly like the 616 one, except there are zombies. If it was just his skin then wouldn't Wolverine still be able to move his arm?
Well, the decaying of his dead skin could have something to do with it if it was his skin giving way, but again, I can't completely make out the rest of the pictures or dialogue. He shouldn't be able to move it if his muscles or ligaments are torn along with the skin.
Financially Marvel could wish it to be as successful as Marvel 616, but they know it won't, and since this is fiction, and laws of reality are at creators wishes, therefore Zombie Universe, is actually suppose to be a lot, hugely, different to be 616, because the most, important thing as far as laws of reality that govern 616 Universes to others, are those that apply in real life creatively, not within the narrative consistency. Lest that's just my understanding of it.
Also, as Enzuru mentioned, the Serpent broke Captain America's shield with his bare hands. Now, the shield is not pure Adamantium, but it's an adamantium / vibranium alloy so it's still nigh indestructible. I think that suggests that it's possible to break adamantium with a strong enough force.
When it comes down to it, it's matter... it has mass and occupies a volume. It is made of atoms. ALL matter can be broken down... In fact, the universe is supposed to collapse back in on itself one day... Can you imagine what would happen if the Adamantium didn't cooperate with the rest of the universe?
To my knowledge, Thor only dented Cap's shield when he was Rune King Thor.
Normal powered Thor has dented a can of it way way back in Avengers. He hit it as hard as he could and was surprised he barely dented it (which is still denting it) that being said like all fiction and all characters own account, these things are inherently flawed and inconsistent usually as soon as a new panel issue, writer takes over.
It was King Thor, not Rune King Thor.
If Cap's shield can be broken, then adamantium can be, too.
IN guardians of the Galexcy there was a metal harder than adamantium that could shoot through it. Called dragonite or something like that.
I was just reading an old 90's Guardians of the Galaxy comic earlier this week where this came up. Vance Astro's suit was made of adamantium, but he got shot from a bullet of some other more powerful metal that ripped right through it. The name of the metal didn't sound familiar, so I don't think it exists in the current Marvel Universe, but rather is something that will be invented sometime before the 30th century. Even then, this other metal must be somewhat uncommon, as the Guardians seemed very surprised that Astro's suit was penetrated.
But I'm sure there are other things that do currently exist that also would break it.
The metal is called Dragonite, I heard that it is even stronger than cap's shield But idk if there is truth to that.
Can Wolverine stab himself through the skull with his own adamantium claws?
I believe so. Hence this.
That's PIS if 616. It shoulda never happened.
All forms of Adamantium to have ever been bent, broken, dented, warped, or otherwise have been retconned to be Secondary Adamantium. True Adamantium is indestructible.
Gladiator snapped one of Wolverine's claws IIRC.
Note on the SS scan: Yeah, thats Logans adamatium bones being seperated from his flesh and the claws falling out of their sockets.
Based on Adamantium's showings and the energy aura shown, I'd chalk it up to skyfather magi-hax more then brute power.
In the time's Captain America's proto-Adamantium (it's not even technically Adamantium) has been broken, there is context.
The best bet for breaking it is with molecular rearrangement. (such as Ultron's equipment or Magneto's powers) One can also hope for secondary Adamantium or bad writing.
Yeah, but it'd be so much cooler if, imagine a Skyfather level being grabs a hold of the shield, tries with all his might to snap it, and nothing happens. He can't. Would be awesome.
But it's true.... all forms of Adamantium to have ever been broken, destroyed, or whatever were retconned to be Secondary.
Lol, I must comment.... after reading through this site for several years, judging by the comments most people make, you'd think Adamantium wasn't much stronger than a piece of toilet paper. Unbelievable.
It's one of the strongest and most durable substances to ever exist. Literally, post-retcon, it's back to being invulnerable. Let me put it into perspective, and this is going to be controversial.......World Breaker Hulk at max rage would be powerless to do anything to it. Let that sink in.
It's stated to be the most durable substance on Marvel EARTH, NOT in the universe by any means. World breaker hulk at max rage would tear apart adamantium like butter considering it gets dented by melee strikes from standard hulk and considering it has never tanked anything close to a planet busting attack.
Adamantium hasn't shown planetary durability at this point, the fact that normal powered Hulk and Thor have been capable of denting it, means that 1. If they had 5 minutes to repeatedly hit it they could likely break it and 2. Higher levels of both of these guys would likely easily break it.
Also your statement of "But it's true.... all forms of Adamantium to have ever been broken, destroyed, or whatever were retconned to be Secondary." is incorrect. ONLY instances of it being BROKEN using PHYSICAL force were retconned to secondary. Which were things like thor and hulk tearing through adamantium, things of that sort.
"All forms of Adamantium to have ever been bent, broken, dented, warped, or otherwise have been retconned to be Secondary Adamantium. True Adamantium is indestructible."
Is quite simply, incorrect. True adamantium is VIRTUALLY indestructible not indestructible by any means. ONLY adamantium that was destroyed and ONLY destroyed by physical force, was retconned. Thor and Hulk denting adamantium were NOT retconned, especially because they tear through secondary adamantium like it's nothing.
The one comic where Hulk throws the "adamantium" statue and does some good damage to it is very clear PiS.

Denver's considering forcing landlords to apply for licenses to rent their properties
The goal would be to give the city a better idea of how many rentals exist and more leverage over enforcing housing standards.

Apr. 14, 2021, 5:57 p.m.
After tackling group living laws earlier this year, city lawmakers are now setting their sights on another potentially sweeping change to housing.
City Councilmember Stacie Gilmore is proposing a law that would require property owners to get a license from the city to rent housing. A City Council committee approved her proposal Wednesday, and now it'll be considered by the full council.
More than a third of Denver's housing stock in 2019 was rentals, according to data from the Denver Assessor's Office presented to the committee Wednesday. The city's housing stock includes nearly 520,000 properties and units.
Gilmore said the goals of her proposal include helping Denver track rental units, giving the city control over whether those units are meeting certain standards, and improving communication between tenants and landlords. She said tracking units in particular would help the city make policy decisions and improve protections for renters.
"At the end of the day, this is a tool to keep our folks housed in our city," Gilmore said.
Not everyone is on board. Peter Wall, of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors, voiced opposition to the bill during Wednesday's meeting. Wall said that like the city, housing associations like his want to keep tenants safe and the city affordable. But he disagreed with the way Gilmore's bill was trying to achieve those goals. He said association members have voiced concerns about the cost associated with the licensing process, and they're worried that city inspectors would be involved in their business.
"We have a concern for mom-and-pop landlords," Wall said. "We think the proposal as written disproportionally impacts them versus some of those larger apartment buildings and institutional owners."
Denver Department of Excise and Licenses spokesperson Eric Escudero said Gilmore's proposal would be the largest expansion of required licenses in the city's history; the largest share, about 6,000, now goes to security guards.
Gilmore's bill would require at least 54,000 new licenses. Here's where those licenses would go based on estimates from the city:
25,668 single family homes
15,888 condos
5,957 rowhouses (like duplexes)
6,600 apartment parcels
The city won't license apartments by unit, Gilmore said, but rather by parcel. The city has more than 145,000 units within those 6,600 apartment parcels. Under Gilmore's bill, parcels could be a single apartment building or a complex with multiple buildings.
The license would need to be renewed every four years. Gilmore's Chief of Staff, Magen Elenz, said inspections would be required when licenses are renewed or if ownership of the property changes. The inspection would be based on a checklist of minimum housing standards set by existing city laws.
Elenz said on-campus college housing, boarding homes, short-term rentals and commercial lodging properties would be exempt from the licensing program.
Penalties for violating the proposed law could include fines of up to $1,000 per infraction or losing the license altogether, which would mean a property owner wouldn't be able to legally rent their space.
If it passes council, the proposal would be implemented in staggered phases.
Early licensing would open Jan. 1, 2022, before moving to full licensing for all single rental dwelling units required by Jan. 1, 2024. Application fees for the licenses would start at $25 for early licensing. Fees will cost $50 for each unit starting in 2024 and up to $500 for application fees, depending on the number of rental units.
Denver will host two community meetings on the proposal, on April 22 and April 24. More information on the meetings and how to join them can be found on the city's website.


Halloween brings out the ghosts and ghouls but it also brings out some spooktacular promotions. This includes one brand that we've not featured before on Penny Bingo! mFortune Bingo is a little different to many of the more well known brands as it's primarily an independent mobile service. However, if you're looking for something a little different then their Wicked Wins Sweepstake might be worth a look. Especially as there's a £10,000 pot up for grabs.
The Wicked Wins Sweepstake runs at mFortune Bingo between the 22nd and 31st October. To take part in this promotion all you need to do is deposit! By making a qualifying deposit of £20 or more players will gain a single entry to a cash prize draw.

As these prizes are paid as cash it means that there are no wagering terms associated with them.
If you've not tried mFortune Bingo before then there's a couple of exciting promotions in addition to the above. For example, every Tuesday and Friday at 8.30pm there's a player's prize draw! To be in with a chance of winning, you simply need to have a valid mFortune Bingo ticket in any room when the prize draw begins! Unfortunately we don't have details about the prizes but why not drop in and take a look?
Need a reason to try mFortune? Well it's one of the few brands that still offers players a no deposit bonus. Even better this bonus comes with no wagering terms. The bonus is awarded as a credit and cannot be withdrawn. The maximum withdrawal without depositing is £200. You can withdraw any unspent deposit, in addition to the funds in your cashable credit account. T&Cs apply! However, to get the bonus you will need to enter your mobile number and download the mFortune Bingo game to your device. It's worth noting you can also play online.
mFortune Bingo hosts a number of rooms, each with their own progressive jackpot. The rooms are surprisingly quite busy – they're all 90 ball rooms and tickets cost from just 10p.
Wagering terms and conditions apply. All details above were correct when published on October 24, 2018.

The routine use of a medium by someone who knows the best way to use it usually passes unquestioned as unproblematic and 'neutral': this is hardly stunning since media evolve as a means of engaging in functions in which they're normally meant to be incidental. And the extra steadily and fluently a medium is used, the extra 'transparent' or 'invisible' to its customers it tends to turn out to be. For many routine functions, consciousness of a medium could hamper its effectiveness as a way to an end. Indeed, it is usually when the medium acquires transparency that its potential to fulfil its major function is biggest.

Stained Glass Canoe is a Piedmont-Triad based Americana/roots/rock group founded in 2011 by Stokes County residents, Chris and Andrea Templon. It consists of seasoned musicians playing an eclectic mix of Rock, Blues and Americana originals and covers by well-loved groups from the 50's to now. SGC typically performs in one of four configurations — as a duo with guitar and vocals, a three piece acoustic outfit featuring upright bass (or another instrument), acoustic guitar and vocals and as a four piece electric rock group featuring drums, electric bass, acoustic and electric guitar. The group's most recent evolution was explored by adding a fiddle player, mandolin or accordion to enhance the "roots" element in their music. Other instruments can also be made available, if requested. Click images below to advance through the slideshow.
Stained Glass Canoe is notable for their powerhouse female lead vocalist Andrea Templon accompanied by vocalist/guitarist Chris Templon and a tight driving rhythm section featuring Roger Kohrs on bass, and Larry Carman on drums. In the photo slide show Debbie Gitlin (also of Stokes County) performs with them at this particular event. These guys blend Americana, groove, blues, roots/rock, funk and a touch of reggae bringing listeners a unique, upbeat, and enjoyable style.

Sometimes people aren't actually doing you a favor, but rather proposing a deal. But the thing is they don't say it openly. On the contrary: they make their help look like generosity. And then when you least expect it, they bring up what they did for you. Or worse still, they saddle you with obligations you never accepted in the first place.
People who act like that are hiding behind a false concept of gratitude. They think anytime they do someone a favor, there's the understanding that it will be returned. However, they never check whether the other person thinks this way too. They just show up to claim their favor or expect you to do something for them, without even asking you. And if you don't, they get angry and play the victim.
You finally realize that the favor was not a favor but rather a trap. It's a form of control and manipulation, a mechanism they'll activate when it suits them. And what makes it deceitful is that it's a sort of contract that you never signed. The person that did the favor signed it for you.
Why are they doing you a favor?
There are contexts where it's clear that when someone does you a favor, you then owe it back to them. Politics, for example. It also happens at work. If you cover for a colleague you expect them to do the same for you, if you were to need it. In both examples, there is a factor that makes the equation transparent: they are favors between people who have a utilitarian, practical relationship, not family or friends.
A colleague or business partner may do a favor for someone but it's evident to both parties that there are interests behind it. There's no trap. Not to say that a person never does a favor for a stranger. You can help someone who needs it based on your principles or just because you want to.
However, when it comes to a closer relationship, in principle both the favor and the gratitude should be totally free. Help you give your family, your significant other, or a friend is because you want to. Because you can. Or because it makes you feel good.
When you do it you feel good. You don't have a mental record book where you write it down as a debt to collect. If you are keeping track, then don't say you did a favor, say that you initiated an exchange.
Unfortunately there are a lot of people who do keep strict accounts of any favor they've done. The worst thing about this is that they claim them when they want and how they want. No explicit agreement was ever made with the other person, and they may show up to collect at any time.
Then, when you have to pay back a favor, you also are subjected to mistreatment by the person who did you the favor in the first place. It's not uncommon for aggressive, confrontational people to also be "generous" to others.
They do you a favor, and afterwards they get angry; they explode or get hysterical. If you don't say anything, all is well. But if you say something, they throw the favor they did for you back in your face. Even sexual abuse is sometimes based on a chain of favors.
In addition, people who tally each returned and unreturned favor often see themselves as victims. People who feel sorry for themselves do this a lot. They keep track of everything they've ever done for others. Along with, of course, every detail of every favor not returned. This supports their victim self-image.
It is said that a favor, in order to be a favor, must be received with ingratitude. In essence, it's true. A favor comes out of generosity, that humans should help other humans in need if they can. The reward for each favor is the satisfaction the favor-doer feels. Why should anyone want anything more than that?

So how do you explain past falls in the CO2 levels in the atmosphere if it just stays in the atmosphere and builds up ?
If you do believe man-made CO2 is the major component surely as green field sites India and China should have learnt from our 'mistakes', whoever drives the need for production isn't important. Whats the point of us in the UK worrying about a small percent of a small percent when that is completely wiped out by these countries daily increase ? Why should I pay extra green taxes for my plane ticket whilst China builds 200 new airports and the chinese pay an average of a 10th of the price for a similar journey ? Because we industrialised first ? Tough...you snooze you lose IMO. It is like saying italians cannot have marble tops in their kitchens because the romans used their share.
CO2 doesn't stay in the atmosphere forever, but its halflife is long. As I've understood there have been times in the earth's past when the CO2 levels have risen due to natural causes. As the "cycles" have changed those CO2 levels have gradually fallen. According to a recent seminar on climate change I attended they continue to remain in the atmosphere and affect climate for hundreds of years, unlike most other greenhouse gases which have shorter-term effects. Human actions aren't part of those natural cycles however, so the extra we add disrupts that equilibrium. At least thats my layman's take on the subject.
On the second point its obvious we disagree. For example, I think its rather important to take into account who drives the need for production. If western consumers (and therefore western companies) were pickier about what to buy, I believe the development of environmentally friendly policies would take off in countries like China and India.
And I also disagree with your "you snooze you looze" attitude of western industrialization. Developed countries don't have a problem with us industrializing first and therefore gaining and advantage, the problem is that we industrialized at a time when environmental protection wasn't an issue. We are demanding of developing countries restrictions that we never heeded when we were industrializing. I do understand though, that that was the zeitgeist of the time, and there's no point in pointing fingers. I merely think it's irresponsible of us to downplay our effect on the climate and point towards developing countries to take the ball.

If we agree for a moment that man-made emmissions are the problem, what I am asking is what is the point us (UK) worrying about a fraction of a fraction of a small percent of a small percent when the slack is more than taken up by the drive of places like China and India. Everyone agrees that these will be the biggest consumer markets in the future, they are simply building on the back of our current demand in preparation for their own. They are industrialisng at at time when environment issues are at the fore so they could be considered more guilty as they know the effects of what they are doing whereas we didn't. Why should we shoot ourselves in the foot to enable them to catch up ?
As for the CO2 levels, who is to say that we are not in the middle of a natural cycle ? Maybe it is simply the rise in populations in the aforementioned countries that is causing the current rise, as you said humans are not part of that natural cycle and if you look at a graph of population explosion over the last 150 years and CO2 levels you will see they correlate nicely. Maybe these countries should be penalised for having such large populations.
Edited November 2, 2007 by Moon Monkey
You make an interesting point with the time of industrialization. I think it carries some weight, but I'm also a bit more forgiving of developing countries, since they remain far less developed than the west. While its true that the added world awareness of China and India should cause them to become more restrictive with their policies, I also understand that they are developing countries who compare themselves to the developed well-off west. I certainly agree with you, that China and India need to reduce emissions, and my qualm isn't really with the UK. I've understood that it's been one of the best countries in the EU when it comes to being stringent with emissions permits. My problem is more with the United States, which still has the largest carbon emissions in the world (even though much of its production has been shifted elsewhere (read = China)).
Countries by carbon emissions
China comes in as a close second.
Here's a link to the carbon emissions per capita. You can see that the carbon emissions per capita are far smaller in developing countries that in developed ones.
Per capita carbon emissions
China emits a bit more than one tenth of U.S per capita emissions, and India less than that.
I find you population rise/carbon level rise point plausible in the sense that more people means more traffic and more production, but as long as the per capita levels of emissions are so skewed towards developed countries, I think its rather more understandable to make reductions there. I understand that in the future it seems very likely that China and India are going to be the main markets, and production may come to be more towards the home market (Maybe at that point production will once again be moved elsewhere, perhaps Africa, and we will all (China and India included) blame Africa for global warming), but I hope that at that point chinese and indian consumers will also become more "enlightened", meaning wealthy. I tend to believe that environmental consciousness is a priviledge of those who can afford it. Hopefully with the example of the west sustainable business thinking will become the norm in China and India as well.
Good post. I just think that even if we err on the safe side and reduce man made emmissions either we all do it or no-one, it just seems stupid to spend the time, cash and inconvinience reducing in e.g. the UK and then allow other developing countries to pump out the difference. How does that help the planet ?

..it's all too confusing for the working Cat to understand.... :(
Those per-capita figures are interesting.... but possibly misleading. China and India are still - predominately - agrarian. Their populations are HUGE. (each over a Billion), hence the per-capita figures WILL look small. The concern is : what happens as they begin to shift their economies from Agricultural to Industrial ? Their per-capita figures will increase towards western levels, but their actuall NATIONAL output would be enormous.

the cats right in 20 years as china and india industrialize ..emissions are going to go off the charts...
I agree that that's a big problem. It remains to be seen how well western example would even be followed in developing countries. I think it's going to be some time before developing countries have reached a level of income where environmental issues are even going to be first priority (it seems we haven't even reached that level yet). As I mentioned earlier however, I hope that western consumers can in part influence that by their own choices. One of the biggest problems with environmental policy is that no country seems to want to be the first to restrict it's emissions, and therefore impair its competitiveness. For western countries its even more difficult, because we're already feeling the effects of low cost production in developing countries, and to restrict our industries further would probably mean more loss of competitiveness. (Although now there are some arguments that environmentally friendly business can be a competitive asset as well, as long as everyone is not dong it)
Yup thats true. In the other link you can also see the total emissions, with China already coming in as a close second to the U.S.. And it certainly looks like those numbers are going to keep growing. If I remember correctly the biggest producers of carbon emissions are energy production, industrial production, and traffic (and transport). Those are all sure to increase with the welfare rise China and India are likely to experience. The only answer to that problem is the development of technologies to reduce emissions. Even then it remains unclear how to go about developing those technologies. In my opinion the simplest way is probably to limit western companies' carbon emissions, and let the competitive market work out the solutions. This way private enterprises are forced to take into account their productions' extrernality effects. Hopefully with the increased welfare and interest in China and India, their companies and governments will follow suit, and of course benefit from technological spillovers of the innovations the west has made.
This strategy has the risk of further driving production to places where enforcement is lax, which is why it also requires an economic understanding of the costs and benefits of a)reducing emissions and staying put vs b)moving production to where there are no restrictions. Governments need to use both sticks and carrots to prompt companies to develop alternate technologies and operations.
Sorry bout the rant, I've recently been especially interested in the economics of the issue.

Home > Sports > Portugal, Mexico, Russia tussle for last 4 spot
Portugal, Mexico, Russia tussle for last 4 spot
Agencies23 Jun 2017 5:23 PM GMT
Portugal are set to rest Cristiano Ronaldo for Saturday's clash against New Zealand as the Euro 2016 winners look to confirm their passage into next week's Confederations Cup semi-finals.
Ronaldo brushed off allegations of tax evasion in Spain with man-of-the-match performances in the 2-2 draw with Mexico and 1-0 win over Russia, when he scored the winner.
Ferdinand Santos is expected to rest some stars, including captain Ronaldo, against the Kiwis.
AC Milan's new signing Andre Silva should lead Portugal's attack in the David verses Goliath clash in St Petersburg.
Things remain tight in Group A before Saturday's final round.
Mexico, top of Group A equal with Portugal on four points by virtue of having scored one more goal, face Russia, who are just a point behind in third.
Only fourth-placed NZ have no chance after losing their two games so far.
The Kiwis will breath a slight sigh of relief if Ronaldo is rested with the Real Madrid star having netted 15 times in his last nine games for club and country.
"Even if you take Ronaldo out of the team, you still have world-class players like (Ricardo) Quaresma and Nani, we have a game plan and we won't be over-awed," said Kiwi coach Anthony Hudson.
"The Portuguese probably don't want to be playing New Zealand right now."
Like he did before the Mexico game, Hudson called on the Kiwis to be 'brave' against the European champions.
This will be the first senior meeting between eighth- ranked Portugal, and New Zealand, who are 95th -- sandwiched between Guatemala and Madagascar.
The Kiwis are without a win in all of their 11 Confederations Cup matches and bow out against Portugal after already losing to hosts Russia and Mexico.
The plucky All Whites gave the Mexicans a scare in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat in Sochi with Leeds striker Chris Wood giving the Kiwis a shock first-half lead.
It was their first goal in 555 minutes of Confederations Cup football before Raul Jimenez and Oribe Peralta scored second-half goals for Mexico as the Kiwis faded.
"We took a great side all the way against Mexico and we can do that against Portugal," said Wood.
"If we play like we did the other night, I have all the confidence in the world."
It promises to be a battle royal in Kazan where Mexico need just a point to make the semis, while Russia need to win or their prospects hinge on Portugal losing.
After the draw with Portugal, Mexico's coach Juan Carlos Osorio made eight changes against New Zealand, which back- fired and his side only reacted when they fell behind.
"Russia are going to be a different proposition, they like to keep the ball and bring it out of defence," said Mexico's midfielder Juergen Damm.
"We'll try to counter their strengths and exploit their weaknesses, but we need to be focused."Having spent the New Zealand game on the bench, star striker Javier Hernandez is expected to start while Osorio must make changes after injuries to defenders Carlos Salcedo and Hector
Moreno.

Hospital of Horror: Bad Dreams / Visiting Hours Blu-ray Review
February 21, 2014 May 17, 2016 Slasher StudiosBad Dreams, Visiting Hours
Scream Factory is at it again with the release of two 80's "hospital of horror" gems: 1981's feminist slasher Visiting Hours and 1988's supernatural shocker Bad Dreams. Both films being Fox releases, they arrive bundled on a single dual-layer Blu-ray disc courtesy of the current masters of resurrecting the bloody magic of yesteryear, Scream Factory.
Starring A Nightmare on Elm Street 3's Jennifer Rubin and Puppet Master III's Richard Lynch, Bad Dreams follows a girl (Rubin) who survived a mass suicide (by fire!) orchestrated by the leader of a cult (Lynch). After waking up in the hospital, she and her fellow patients are terrorized, apparently by the ghost of said cult leader. Suffice it to say there are casualties as Lynch works to reclaim the girl that got away.
Lee Grant (Damien: Omen II) and Linda Purl (TV's True Blood) are terrorized by misogynistic psycho Michael Ironside (Scanners) in Visiting Hours. TV personality Deborah Ballin's (Grant) crusade against domestic violence provokes the wrath of woman-hating killer Colt Hawker (Ironside), prompting him to break into her home and attack her. Ballin survives, however, and is sent to County General Hospital. Unfortunately for Ballin, her attack- and her location- are widely publicized, and Hawker comes to finish the job. When finding Ballin proves difficult, Hawker turns his attention to young nurse Sheila Munroe (Purl), who has befriended Ballin. While Ballin's utterly-useless lover/boss (William Shatner) tries to calm her, she and Sheila ultimately find themselves in mortal danger, struggling to protect each other from the vicious killer.
VIDEO: Both films deliver strong transfers. While Bad Dreams is a bit prettier to look at, Visiting Hours' visual appeal is handicapped by its drab, sterile hospital setting. The scenes featuring Purl and Ironside's characters outside of the hospital fare the best, but by no means is either transfer a slouch. Film grain is visible but never intrusive, though certain scenes in Visiting Hours make the actors look either sunburned or embarrassed, particularly Purl's first scene.
AUDIO: Bad Dreams gets the better treatment here, delivering a 5.1 DTS-HD soundtrack as well as the original mono. Visiting Hours is limited to a (lossless) mono track, but both films sound perfectly good.
EXTRAS: While this reviewer is usually not particularly concerned with extras, I must say I am pleased with the offering here, especially for a double feature. Bad Dreams once again gets the better deal, getting a director's commentary, two featurettes, behind-the-scenes footage, a lengthy alternate ending, and a traier. Visiting Hours gets a decent helping of extras as well, however. Three interviews, with writer Brian Taggert (Poltergeist III), producer Pierre David, and co-star Lenore Zann (Happy Birthday to Me), as well as TV spots, a radio spot, and a still gallery. Each film gets enough material to warrant one of Scream Factory's beloved Collector's Editions (Visiting Hours alone has more material than the Collector's Edition of the Jamie Lee Curtis slasher Terror Train), but instead, we get two for the price of one.
Overall, this is an excellent Blu-ray release from Scream Factory. If you enjoy either of these films, it is well worth the roughly $20 price tag.

If your baby is just a few months old, you're probably wondering if h2 is ever going to sleep through the night.
Most new parents have this problem, and despite what some may claim, their little angels don't always sleep through the night.
Be realistic. Just because someone tells you their baby sleeps through the entire night does not mean he does.
Understand the link between meals and sleep. How long babies can go between meals is linked to if they will be able to sleep through the entire night.
WARNING: You should never give your baby cereal in his bottle or solids to help him sleep through the night. Not only do these 2 things not work, but they can actually be harmful to your baby.
Make sure baby gets enough to eat during the day. Two to 2-1/2 ounces per pound of body weight every 24 hours is the best measurement for knowing how much to feed your baby.
If baby drifts off before he's done eating, jiggle him a bit to wake her up. This way, you can ensure he gets enough to eat and won't wake up hungry in a few hours.
At your bedtime, wake baby up. Give your baby a snack. This will help baby sleep through the night.
If your baby is waking up every 2 hours, don't respond right away. He may not be hungry or even wet, Perhaps he's just gotten used to your instant response. If you wait a few minutes, you may find that he goes right back to sleep.
TIP: If you do end up getting up to attend to him, don't make a party of it. Don't play with him, sing to him, or turn on a lot of lights. Just feed him, change him if necessary, and put him back to bed.
Move baby to his own room. The proximity to mommy can be the very thing that is causing your baby to wake up several times during the night. If you put your baby in his own room, he'll get the message quickly enough.


Our local professional sports stadium is getting a new name. After the end of this current MLS season, Bridgeview's Toyota Park will become SeatGeek Stadium. The 20,000 seat facility opened in 2006 and is the home to Major League Soccer's Chicago Fire and to National Women's Soccer League's Chicago Red Stars. Besides the new naming rights, SeatGeek, the online ticket broker, will also work with the stadium's management to bring more events to Bridgeview including concerts, music festivals, and international sporting events.
Naming stadiums after companies is nothing new. Chicago Cubs owner and chewing gum manufacturer William Wrigley named Wrigley Field back in 1926. But selling off just the right to name a stadium, without any other ownership involved, has become more and more common in recent years. While often very expensive for corporations, naming rights also garner lots of exposure for the brand through on-camera views and audio mentions.
If you are interested in reading more about this topic, here are few resources you might find helpful. To read more about naming rights in sports in general, have a look at these articles from our Academic Search Complete database. For a more Chicago area stadium focus, try these Chicago Tribune articles. Finally, to learn even more about sports stadiums, including some local Chicago ones, this search from our library catalog will be helpful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixed martial arts (MMA) is an emergent sport where competitors in a ring or cage utilize strikes (punches, kicks, elbows and knees) as well as submission techniques to defeat opponents. This book explores the carnal experience of fighting through a sensory ethnography of MMA, and how it transgresses the cultural scripts of masculinity in popular culture. Based on four years of participant observation in a local MMA club and in-depth interviews with amateur and professional MMA fighters, Spencer documents fighters' training regimes and the meanings they attach to participation in the sport. Drawing from the philosophical phenomenology of Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Jean-Luc Nancy, this book develops bodies-centered ontological and epistemological grounding for this study. Guided by such a position, it places bodies at the center of analysis of MMA and elucidates the embodied experience of pain and injury, and the sense and rhythms of fighting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultimate Fighting Championship and the present and future of women's sports Mixed martial arts stars like Amanda Nunes, Zhang Weili, and Ronda Rousey have made female athletes top draws in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Jennifer McClearen charts how the promotion incorporates women into its far-flung media ventures and investigates the complexities surrounding female inclusion. On the one hand, the undeniable popularity of cards headlined by women add much-needed diversity to the sporting landscape. On the other, the UFC leverages an illusion of promoting difference—whether gender, racial, ethnic, or sexual—to grow its empire with an inexpensive and expendable pool of female fighters. McClearen illuminates how the UFC's half-hearted efforts at representation generate profit and cultural cachet while covering up the fact it exploits women of color, lesbians, gender non-conforming women, and others. Thought provoking and timely, Fighting Visibility tells the story of how a sports entertainment phenomenon made difference a part of its brand—and the ways women paid the price for success.

Download or read book Notorious - The Life and Fights of Conor McGregor written by Jack Slack and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'WE'RE NOT JUST HERE TO TAKE PART - WE'RE HERE TO TAKE OVER' Conor McGregor is the biggest star in the fight game. The Dubliner has achieved more in three years with the Ultimate Fighting Championship than anyone in the twenty year history of the organization. From an unknown prospect in 2013 to the first man to hold two world titles simultaneously, McGregor's knockout-filled march through the featherweight and then lightweight rankings sent shockwaves through the world. But as effortless as McGregor's heroics have seemed, his journey was far from smooth and his destiny anything but certain. Just another teenager trading martial arts techniques with his friends in a shed, the seemingly delusional boy packed in his plumbing gig - to the massive anxiety of his parents - to chase a pipe dream with little promise of reward. No one could have guessed he would go on to become the biggest pay-per-view attraction in the world. As a technician and tactician inside the cage, McGregor was something special. Outside of the cage McGregor could draw thousands of screaming fans to press events with his wit and presence. And away from the cameras, McGregor's life was built around a love of treating his friends and a loyalty to his teammates and his hometown. This is not another tale about an athlete who was born exceptional and groomed for success. It is about how one young man, through bloody-minded determination and indomitable spirit, came to change the whole game. From Crumlin to Las Vegas and from the cage to the cars, Notorious: The Life and Fights of Conor McGregor explores not just how the fight game changed Conor McGregor, but how Conor McGregor revolutionized the fight game.
Mixed Martial Arts and the Quest for Legitimacy
Author : Mark S. Williams
Download or read book Mixed Martial Arts and the Quest for Legitimacy written by Mark S. Williams and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixed martial arts or MMA is widely regarded as the fastest growing sport. Events fill stadiums around the world and draw vast television audiences, earning strong revenue through pay-per-view at a time when other sports have abandoned it. In 2016, the Ultimate Fighting Championship was bought by the massive talent agency WME-IMG for $4 billion. Despite this success, much of the public remains uneasy with the sport, which critics have denounced as "human cockfighting." Through an exploration of violence, class, gender, race and nationalism, the author finds that MMA is both an expression of the positive values of martial arts and a spectacle defined by narcissism, hate and patriarchy. The long-term success of MMA will depend on the ability of promoters and athletes to resist indulging in spectacle at the expense of sport.

Retail windows go high-tech for the holidays
Sonya Chudgar, AdAge.com
Buck Ennis
Barneys New York has been the center of two recent racial profiling claims.
The black-and-white light show in Barneys' holiday windows, unveiled last week at its flagship store, is that startling. As retailers try to keep up with technology, some are chucking the Christmas Village this holiday season for 3D projection mapping, dramatic light shows and mobile-to-window technology. Barneys concentrated on mirrors and 3D projections, while Saks Fifth Avenue revived its light show and unveiled an interactive mobile window.
Barneys used projectors, microtiles and all-weather monitors from visual-tech company Christie in its Madison Avenue window designs. The windows are composed of blinding lights, gritty music and black-and-white graphics. Their themes, inspired by French artist Joanie Lemercier, include a 3D city sculpted by laser, icicles with projection mapping and mirrors, and a virtual sleigh ride.
On the third floor of Barneys is a pop-up shop that imitates New York's underground, industrial environment. It's dimly lit with black walls that project a film of New York's underground and skyscrapers on loop, while tables in the shop look like they were constructed from a chain fence and projectors on the ceiling swivel with spotlights. The shop and windows are a result of Barneys' collaboration with Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, who created a line for the retailer that is sold in the pop-up shop. Barneys' efforts also supports Mr. Carter's charity, the Shawn Carter Foundation.
"This year, we really wanted to go for it because it's New York, and New York is tough. Jay-Z is tough," said Tommy Dobrzynski, vice president in charge of of visuals at Barneys. "In the music you hear and the visuals you see, we wanted it to be a little blinding. At night, it really gets in your face, and we like that. Whenever we use the technology, we want to bring it back to the honesty of the material and using light as a medium."
For the fourth year, Saks asked Iris Worlwide to map the Saks holiday story onto the façade of the building with 3D projection mapping. Saks' holiday narrative follows a Yeti who moves to the U.S. from Russia and becomes a snowflake connoisseur who lives on the store's roof. With Iris' 3D video mapping, the light show plays every seven minutes and makes it appear as though the building moves, windows open and the Yeti waves.
Saks' windows, meanwhile, are courtesy of the Science Project, which created an interactive activity that prompts passerby with a mobile invitation to pick a Yeti name, create a snowflake, and flick it from the device into the window itself, where it will materialize and fall to the ground.
"3D printing has been big of late, so some of the figures in our window this year are actually 3D printed," said Harry Cunningham, senior vice president in charge of store planning and visual at Saks. "As technology advances and as things move forward, we're looking for opportunities to inject that into our process."
Even the more traditional Macy's is joining the tech arena. Its theme of "Dream… and Believe" follows a boy's dream through six windows as he enters a world where everything is made out of crystal and ice. An interactive screen with a hidden camera allows points of light to mimic the movements of passersby, according to the Wall Street Journal. LED lights beneath the icy sculptures give the illusion the water in the scene moves, while animated screens in the background flash words such as "believe" and "magic." And in the background, ornaments bob in and out of the scene, run by individual motors.
