The Ceylon Junglefowl occurs throughout the island wherever there is adequate forest cover. In the hills it ventures into tea estates, which have forest cover close by. Though common, it is not easy to observe except in protected areas, as it is a shy bird which runs for cover at the slightest disturbance. In most National Parks however the bird is more confiding and can be observed without much difficulty.

Vladimir Dvorniković (28 July 1888 – 30 September 1956) was an ethnic Croat and politically  Yugoslav philosopher, ethno-psychologist, and a strong proponent of a Yugoslav ethnicity. He was a professor at the University of Zagreb during the 1920s. Dvorniković was also an advocate of psychologism and animal philosophy. He is best known for authoring the book "Characterology of the Yugoslavs."

Biography
Vladimir Dvorniković was born in Severin na Kupi, at the time in the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia, Austria-Hungary.
His father Ljudevit-Lujo was a pedagogue, and his mother Marjana was also an educator and a part-time publicist. Vladimir was the eldest of eleven children. Because of constant relocating due primarily to his parents' career, he finished elementary school in Drežnik, and high school in Zemun and Sarajevo. In the 3rd year of high school he became interested in literature and was an enthusiastic reader of the works of Herbert Spencer and Ernst Haeckel.

In 1906 Dvorniković traveled abroad to study philosophy in Vienna. Professors who had a tremendous influence on young Vladimir were Friedrich Jodl (1849-1914) and Wilhelm Jerusalem. He received his doctorate from Vienna in 1911 with his thesis titled "About the necessity of the psychological establishment of the cognitive theory." His plans on habilitation in Vienna were hindered due to the outbreak of the first World War. From 1910 and on he relocates to Sarajevo, Bihać, and Zagreb to commit to teaching.

Apart from the dissertation, he profiles himself as a psychologist with the book "Both essential types of philosophizing - Attempt of psychological orientation in current philosophical currents", published in German in Berlin in 1917. During the first World War he was deported to Bihać for labor because of his pro-Yugoslav orientation. In 1918 Dvorniković arrives in Zagreb where he works in a Musical school.

In 1919 he began lecturing at the University of Zagreb with the theme "Philosophy and Science." In 1925 he becomes a regular professor on the board of directors for the "theoretic and practical philosophy and for the history of philosophy." He is the fourth professor of philosophy in Croatia in half a century; his predecessors were Franjo Marković, Đuro Arnold and Albert Bazala. Rejecting, like Bazala, the old education-system scheme of Johann Friedrich Herbart, Dvorniković indulges himself in the search for proper philosophy, respectively referring to it as "our autochthonous philosophy." Not scrupling to participation in his public life and pronouncement tribunals about current societal and political themes. A strong proponent of "integrated Yugoslavism" (the concept of the Yugoslav Democratic Party), he is an opponent to political demagogy and to the regime of his time. As a result, in 1926 - only a year prior to becoming a regular professor, at age 38 becomes retired.

After his departure from the university, he becomes intensely active in public affairs. He recites over 400 lectures in public across all parts of united Yugoslavia, but also in Vienna, Prague, and Zurich. He annunciates discussions, various studies, essays, articles, displays, and criticisms. He moves to Belgrade and, after the establishment of the Sixth-of-January dictatorship, fully cooperates with the new regime. In 1933, he became the assistant of the ministry of education but is soon retired (in 1934). He authors the book "Battle of Ideas" in   1937, and then writes his most famous book in 1939, titled "Characterology of the Yugoslavs."

During the second World War he lives withdrawn in Belgrade. After the establishment of Communist Yugoslavia, he is enrolled as a member of the "Commission for the constructing appellation in architecture." He is a member from 1945 - 1950. He authors smaller articles regarding the history of culture, archeology, ethnology, and psychology. He was briefly involved in photography.

Dvorniković died in Belgrade, in what was at the time the People's Republic of Serbia, FPR Yugoslavia.

Yugoslav Characterology
Written in Serbo-Croatian (Karakterologija Jugoslavena), the book addresses the need to establish a national character within the entire country. Dvorniković writes that it is important to "mix" up all elements of Yugoslavia and to create one people (the Yugoslavs). He claims that Serbs and Croats can only survive as a strong nation by integrating into one people (like the unification of Germans and Germany or that of Italians and Italy).

The book did not dismiss the differences among people that inhabited Yugoslavia, but stressed that these differences were "contingent and temporary and that they mask a deeper and more profound racial unity". He also advocated the idea of a Dinaric race, and his book overall gives a comprehensive description of unitarist Yugoslav mythology.

Works
Along with other texts, he has published the following works:
Die beiden Grundtypen des Philosophierens, Berlin, 1918. (Oba osnovna tipa filozofiranja)
Savremena filozofija (2 sveska), Zagreb, 1919. i 1920.

It has been a busy time for me and even more for others on the Whitman staff. As you read these words, the fifth edition of Mega Red is nearly ready to go to press. This will be over 1,500 pages and have more information than you can read in a week of evenings. This edition's special section will showcase quarter dollars from 1796 to date—telling all you want to know about minting, issuance, collecting, and more. Read this section, and you will know more than most dealers do! The book, at a $49.95 cover price, will be an ideal major gift (or close) to give to a friend or relative to acquaint them with the hobby you know so well.
Beyond working on Mega Red, I have been putting the finishing touches on a book on Continental money—the paper issues of 1775 to 1779 and the Continental dollars dated 1776, a project started years ago. Along the way, I recently decided to build a collection of the approximately 100 different paper money varieties. It is a challenge to find notes that have full margins and crisp signatures. So far I have about a third of them.
Next week is the Whitman Coin & Collectibles Expo at the Baltimore Convention Center. If you plan to attend this always dynamic event, track me down on Wednesday or Thursday. I can be found at the Stack's Bowers Galleries or the Whitman displays. If you would like to add some more Whitman titles to your library, I would be honored to sign any that I wrote.

Funds raised will be used to build our first ever Rock House which will be a place where those whose lives are affected by MS can receive quality of life care ranging from therapy to a haircut.
Signup for our newsletter to stay up-to-date.
The Rock Against MS Foundation seeks to construct and operate brick and mortar facilities which we will call Rock Houses. Our first Rock House in the planning stages, and will provide free of charge, multiple programs and opportunities designed to heal the mind, body and spirit of all those whose lives have been affected by MS.

(June 5, 2007) -- Reuters reports that JetBlue founder and now-former CEO/President David Neeleman and billionaire George Soros have sold chunks of their JetBlue stock.
The story is at: Reuters: Soros and JetBlue founder sell some holdings.
JetBlue is LB Airport's largest commercial tenant, having taken all of the airport's then-vacant large aircraft (over 75,000 pounds) flight slots in May 2001 after an appointee to City Hall's "Airport Advisory Commission" touted the Airport to founder Neeleman.
After City Hall and JetBlue officials communicated, city management agendized a misleading item that appeared only to change the Airport's rules for allocating flight slots (letting carriers hold them longer before flying them)...but didn't tell that the result would be JetBlue dramatically increasing flights by filling all then vacant slots.
City Hall's action, the culmination of the former O'Neill administration's policy of seeking to fill vacant flight slots although this wasn't required by law, put LB's Airport noise ordinance at some risk and led to pressure to expand LB's permanent terminal area facilities. At Council directive, management is expected to try and finance that multi-million project by using Airport revenue...which could only come by (at minimum) maintaining flights.

Buju's murder cry
April 23, 2019 April 23, 2019 Pearson BowenUncategorized
" What is going on in Trinidad ? All this murder. Not just regular murder but butcher shop murder."
The question was asked by Jamaican reggae superstar Buju Banton (Mark Myrie) while on stage before thousands at his "I am Legend" concert at the Queen's Park Savannah in Port of Spain on Easter Sunday night.
"Youths watch yuhself otherwise yuh will end up like manure under a tree that bears fruit that nobody wants," he said .
Buju also said in reference to the police search of his Hilton hotel room following a ganja tip-off which yielded nothing: "I have been coming to Trinidad for so many years. I have been coming when the Black man was in power and when the Indian was in power. Who gave the order?"
MONE hundred and fifty-seven murders have been committed for the year so far in Trinidad and Tobago, just eight fewer than those recorded for the corresponding period last year.
The country's alert state was moved from amber to red by Police Commissioner Gary Griffith last Friday due to a recent increase in murders, the Buju Banton concert and the Easter long weekend. However , the criminal element still managed to run rampant, snuffing out the lives of at least nine people between Saturday and yesterday morning.

recent article by Reuter's explains, if you or someone you love has a family history of dementia, is showing symptoms of Alzheimer's or is concerned about later-life planning, it's time to get to work.
You'll want to assemble a team that specializes in long-term planning and elder care issues. A good place to start is the National Academy of Elder LawAttorneys (NAELA). I am a member of NAELA and can help you navigate the elective transfer of decision-making authority through a power of attorney or trust and can help you qualify for needs-based programs like Medicaid and Veterans Pension Benefits if necessary. An elder law attorney also can set up a legal framework through which the client and his or her family can transfer assets and decision-making responsibilities.
When it comes to protecting your assets, the best advice is to plan ahead. Waiting for a crisis means you'll have many fewer options available to protect yourself. If you have valuable assets or your business or profession makes you particularly susceptible to lawsuits, then now is the time to plan your asset protection strategy – before you face a financial or legal crisis.
The caveat to asset protection planning is that you have to do it right. You're trying to keep those most precious things safe but attempting to do so through illegal and disingenuous means can only come up to bite you in the end, and could land you in jail.
Plan ahead of time, that is, before a claim arises. Planning before a claim allows you to escape from accusations of fraudulent transfer. Knowingly making a fraudulent transfer is especially dangerous since the judge doesn't simply undo the transfer, there is likely to be a punishment involved as well.
An asset protection plan is not insurance and does not afford the same protection. An asset protection plan may keep your assets safe in the event of a claim, but it won't protect you from legal fees. An insurance plan can shield you from paying those legal fees and therefore can offer a vital supplement to the plan itself.
People should do planning now while the opportunity still exists.
charitable lead annuity trusts (CLATs).
A recent article in Forbes focuses primarily on the GRAT opportunity for savvy planners. As Forbes writes, GRATs are particularly attractive now, with low AFRs, under-valued assets (particularly real estate) and the ability to create a GRAT with a term as short as three years.
Here's why the low rates make GRATs such a good deal. The idea with a GRAT is to transfer an appreciating asset into a trust for a set number of years, say three years. After the three years, any appreciation over the applicable federal rate goes to your heirs, free of estate and gift tax. So, if you own rapidly appreciating assets, particularly if they are currently under-valued, and you anticipate the three-year appreciation to exceed the low AFR, then this strategy could result in some GRAT tax savings.
The economy is starting to show some life in a number of sectors but, unfortunately for many, the housing market is not one of them. The good news for the crafty estate planner is that the poor housing market coupled with the tax laws that went into effect with last December's compromise offer a rather unique opportunity, one that may very well rate amongst the smartest estate planning moves one will ever make, according to Forbes columnist Rob Clarfeld.
Now might be time to give away the house.
The poor housing market remains perhaps the largest unhealed wound of the Great Recession. If you are trying to sell a home right now you are likely a bit frustrated. Homes are not moving quickly, and many sellers are forced to take a relative loss just to move their property. But, if you were considering making a gift of your home, the situation is entirely more cheerful. Depressed prices mean that you won't have to work to reduce your home's taxable value, and the gift you make of it will take a much smaller chunk of your lifetime gift tax exemption. This is a serious boon to high net-worth individuals looking to give away property of considerable value.
But wait, there's more. The tax compromise signed in with the budget deal last December also extends the lifetime gift allowance from $1 million up to a generous $5 million. So, right now, there is an 18-month window of opportunity for you to make a tax-advantaged gift.
Previously, when one wanted to give away real estate the strategy of choice might have been a Qualified Personal Residence Trust (QPRT) because it allowed for considerable discounts given certain risks through a gradual transfer, but with this perfect storm of depressed real estate prices and a generous gift tax exemption – an outright gift in trust may make more sense. Further, if you want to retain post-gift use of the real estate, you may want to consider transferring the home to an Intentionally Defective Grantor Trust (IDGT), with a structured plan that allows you to remove the asset (in this case your home) from your estate for estate and gift tax purposes, but not for income tax purposes. . Of course, carefully crafting the trust provisions, including dispositive and potential generation skipping provisions, is of utmost importance.
Again, this window of opportunity could close at any time, so if this is an estate planning strategy you might consider, you are well-advised to discuss your situation with professional counsel sooner rather than later.

A LOOK AT TOKYO'S NEWLY OPENED FRASER SUITES AKASAKA
Japan, Travel	by samanthaannfrancis August 18, 2020 August 18, 2020
Your next staycation or getaway in bustling central Tokyo could be at the cozy yet luxurious sanctuary that is Fraser Suites Akasaka. Offering a slice of tranquility in the Japanese capital's Central Business District, the newly opened serviced residence offers 224 apartments ranging from deluxe rooms and studios to one-bedroom apartments. Fully furnished, these apartments offer amenities like kitchenettes, rain showers, bathtubs, and state-of-the-art home entertainment systems.
Credits: Fraser Suites Akasaka
Decked out with quality furnishings and generously sized bay windows, each abode offers unobstructed views of the city skyline, as well as landmarks like the Tokyo Skytree and Mount Fuji. The rooms, which range up to 60 square meters, are considerably larger than the average accomodation in the city.
When envisioning the property, renowned interior design firm Hirsch-Bedner Associates took inspiration from the area's rich heritage. As such, they've incorporated a traditional kumiko woodworking art piece in the lobby and used prints and colours inspired by Asakasa (which means "red slope")'s hilltop location.
Designed for both work and play, the property comes with a gym that's open round-the-clock, a golf simulator, as well as The Retreat—a relaxing workspace complete with massage chairs. There's also an in-house dining establishment that serves both Japanese cuisine and seasonable Italian fare, against the calming backdrop of a lush garden.
Beyond a prime commercial and residential district, Akasaka also offers endless cultural, shopping, and dining attractions in its vicinity. Must-visits include the Tokyo Bay Zone and the old Olympic venues dating from 1964 within the Heritage Zone. Shopping wise, there's the fashion-forward neighbourhoods of Shibuya, Ginza, and Roppongi, all within reach of a quick metro ride.
In light of the ongoing pandemic, Ms Huang Meilin, general manager of Fraser Suites Akasaka, said: "Fraser Suites Akasaka has adopted heightened measures, including the availability of hand sanitiser in common public areas, access to masks for all guests, as well as increased cleaning and disinfection of high contact points within apartments."
Currently, the property is offering a special opening discount of up to 40 percent off best flexible rate, inclusive of late check-out and an exclusive welcome hamper, for stays up to and including September 30, 2020.

You sell a set of products, with the multistores catering to different geographical market. In this case, you have often wishes that you could limit/ set/ install/ activate the language and/or currency on a per-store basis.
You sell different products in different multistores. In that case, actually, you might be better off having multiple instances of OpenCart running, each supporting a single store. The benefits of a multistore install, in this case are actually outweighed by the issues.
You are a spammer, and want to create many different stores with the same products. In which case, good luck, and please beware of Google because it doesn't like duplicate content.
If your reason for running multistore is #1 above, we've got you covered. This extension allows you to enable/disable different languages and currencies for different stores.
The reason, as you know, is exceedingly simple: even though OpenCart makes it fairly simple to change language and currency, many customers have difficulties figuring this out. In any case, we don't want customers to try to figure out how to change the language or currency of the store, when they could be exploring the store and buying our stuff. If someone comes to my store for Germany, well, my German store should just have German language (perhaps English and Turkish too, if you want to stretch it) and Euro currency. But someone from Croatia need not be overwhelmed with all those options. They should just see Croatian language and Kuna currency. Etc.
From OpenCart Admin > System > Settings, edit each store.
Under each store, go to Local tab, and select the languages and currencies you want to enable for that particular store.
The language and currency you have chosen as Default for a store MUST be enabled for that store.

Healthy Paws is everything they say they are and MORE! I've been with them since June of last year. I had to submit a large claim recently and they came through expeditiously, professionally, and didn't pick any claim item apart. I have to add that communicating with them was always a pleasure also. Even after the claim was paid, they still emailed me, asking about how our Maddie is doing and saying to give her a hug!! I am so impressed. I've already referred another person to them, and will continue to do so. I feel they truly do care for our animals, and know what they mean to us. They are top notch in my book!!


You find that a lot of energy is always used for household during the summer. You find that a large number of families will be glad to find ways in which they can lower their electricity bills this summer. Here are some of the points, which will help you to learn more info on saving energy this summer.
One of the tips for saving energy this summer is to pay attention to your thermostat. I understand that it is essential that you feel comfortable at home, but it is also essential that you reduce your energy bills by paying attention to your thermostat. Besides, you should also make sure that you avoid running your air conditioner when you are not using it. The only way you will manage this is by keeping your thermostat at high temperatures when you are not at home. You find that when your thermostat is running too low, it will make the air conditioner to run trying to cool an empty house. For that matter, it is essential that when you are at home, you keep your house at the warmest temperature as this will help in cutting down your energy costs.
Apart from that, you can also lower your energy bills by taking shorter showers. It is essential to understand that when you are taking hot showers, you will be boosting your energy bills. One good thing with taking shorter showers is that it will help you in reducing the energy expenses as well as reducing water bills. In addition, you can also reduce energy bills by taking birth with warm water which will mean that the water heater will have less water to heat.
Apart from that, you should also keep interior doors open. It is essential to note that these are doors that lead to your bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and many more. It is essential to note that closing the interior doors will lead to increase the air flow by a more significant percentage as this will increase the energy bills.
Not only that but you can also candles for added lights to lower your electricity bills. One thing that you should know is that when you are using candles to add light to a room, it will allow you to forgo turning your overhead lights on. For instance, you can use candles during the day when you need to use light by keeping curtains open during more cooling times of the day. One good thing about this is that it will reduce your energy bills which will allow you to save a lot of money.

Q: Workflow Rule Update to Weed Out Specific Users We have a workflow rule in place to send an email alert to our Sales Leadership team when an Opportunity of certain record type is Closed Won. I need to modify this workflow rule to not send the alert when Opportunities owned by 2 specific users are closed won.
I modified the workflow rule to the criteria and logic in the picture below. However, the email alert is still going out when Opportunities are closed won by Christian  or Shelli.
Is there something I am doing wrong? I thought this would be easy, but I'm not sure what the issue is. Thank you all so much for taking a look.

A: Looks like a logical improvement on the user conditions.
Please change the rule criteria for  Christian and Shelli with "EQUALS"
Let us try with the following filter logic

Windsor Castle unveils festive decorations featuring Queen and Margaret's costumes
WINDSOR CASTLE is all decked up for the festive Season as seen in new photos of the palace displaying the nativity with Christmas trees, twinkling lights, and festival garlands, shining over the century-old royal residence.
By Astha Saxena
03:54, Tue, Nov 30, 2021 | UPDATED: 07:52, Tue, Nov 30, 2021
Christmas decorations transform Windsor Castle
A 20-foot tall Norwegian spruce which requires two full days to decorate with thousands of lights and hundreds of ornaments will be placed in St George's Hall. This year's festive furnishing also includes a show of costumes worn by Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret when they performed in holiday pantomimes during World War II.
Believed to be ideated by Princess Margaret, the performances were written and produced by Royal School headmaster, Hubert Tanner, every year from 1941 to 1944.
The first show was Cinderella, followed by Sleeping Beauty, and Aladdin, and the Old Mother Red Riding Boots.
While the two princesses performed alongside other students from their school, they often took center stage in lead roles.

For instance, then-Princess Elizabeth played Prince Florizel in Cinderella, Prince Salvador in Sleeping Beauty, and the title role in Aladdin.
According to the Royal Collection Trust: "During the Second World War, The Queen (then Princess Elizabeth) and Princess Margaret spent much of their time in Windsor, safely away from the bombing in London.

"Between 1941 and 1944 they performed in and helped to stage a series of Christmas pantomimes to raise money for the Royal Household Wool Fund, which supplied knitting wool to make comforters for soldiers fighting at the Front."
The six costumes worn by the Princess will be displayed in the Waterloo Chamber of Windsor Castle from November 25 until January.
This is the place where the performances originally took place 80 years ago.

Whoosh! Lonnie Johnson's Super-Soaking Stream of Inventions was among the Notable Children's Books Nominees discussed by the Association for Library Service to Children during the American Library Association's annual conference in Orlando last month. I'm not sure how nervous I would have been while hearing my book discussed in such a public setting, so it's just as well that I had to leave the conference earlier that morning.
Publishers Weekly's PW KidsCast features this 17-minute conversation with me about Whoosh! (among other things).
The July/August issue of The Horn Book Magazine reviews Whoosh!, remarking on the book's straightforward approach to Lonnie Johnson's ups and downs, the "upbeat, you-can-do-it attitude," and Don Tate's eye for period detail in his illustrations ("from pegged jeans to bell-bottoms to cut-off shorts with knee socks"). The issue also includes a Q&A — literally, one Q and one A — with me about writing about a living person.
First Book, which provides access to new books for children in need, calls Whoosh! "perfect for budding scientists and engineers" and has listed it among Our Five Favorite Books this July.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science includes Whoosh! in Summer Reading: Invention and Innovation ("Our list of books to spark creativity for kids of all ages!").
…I'm a guest co-host on the latest episode of the Dear Book Nerd podcast!
Nick Patton hosted me this week for an interview on the newest edition of his Picturebooking podcast.
What was my life like right before the moment I got inspired to write children's books?
And if neither time nor money was a limitation, what would my ultimate project be?
I had to really think about those, and I'm so glad to have had the opportunity. Thank you, Nick!
— was a welcome reminder for me. And a needed one, too.
Each time recently that I've heard a favorite podcast include a request for reviews, stars, likes, etc., it's been at an inopportune time. But it's also always spurred the recognition that, yes, when my hands (or at least my thumbs) are free, I should support the podcasts and books I love by helping them catch the eyes of other potential listeners and readers.
Reviews do that. And heaven knows that those of us who put things out for the public — to absorb, and to think about — love hearing that we've hit our mark.
I always forget, though. I mentally acknowledge that leaving positive feedback is as easy as it is appreciated, and then my mind veers elsewhere. But I'm going to try to get in the habit of doing that favor for others.
This past week has brought a couple of happy developments for my new book with Don Tate, The Amazing Age of John Roy Lynch (Eerdmans Books for Young Readers).
First, the book has received a Silver Honor from the Parents' Choice Awards. Thank you, Parents' Choice!
And another big thank you goes to Colby Sharp and Jon Samuelson for including The Amazing Age of John Roy Lynch (along with Bob Shea's Ballet Cat and Victoria Jamieson's Roller Girl) in the latest episode of the Booklandia podcast.
I love the surprise in Jon's voice when he realizes that the story of Lynch's 10-year rise from slavery to the U.S. House of Representatives during Reconstruction is nonfiction rather than historical fiction. I also appreciate the thorough notes on this episode — very helpful, guys.
I love Matthew Winner's podcast to pieces. Listening to Let's Get Busy! is a highlight of my week, every week, and I'm so honored to be the guest on his latest episode. If books for young readers play any significant role in your life, there's a good chance you'll love the conversations that elementary teacher librarian Matthew has with the creators of those books.
In this episode, we discuss how Tom Lichtenheld and I adapted Shark Vs. Train for "board-book-chewing enthusiasts," finding a way in The Amazing Age of John Roy Lynch to let some light shine through the dark legacy of Reconstruction, and why it's important to write awful stories.
I also take a swing (a kick? a boot?) at Matthew's traditional episode-ending stumper: In an all-star, dream-team, kidlit kickball tournament, what one figure from the world of children's books would I want to make sure was on my team?
The whole experience has been lots of fun, and Matthew's enthusiasm is infection. I hope you'll give us a listen!

The Elephants of Antarctica & Greenland
By : Frank
Tag: Cities, Climate Change, Emissions Management, Global Warming, Oceans
John Englander
President at the International Sea Level Institute
August 12, 2016 – Today I got a message from an environmental group advising it was World Elephant Day. Pachyderms are amazing creatures worthy of our respect and protection.
It got me thinking however, since I often talk about the "elephant in the room" referring to the glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica. They are the proverbial elephants in the room in terms of potential sea level rise (SLR).
Normally "the elephant in the room" refers to some huge presence or factor that we ignore for one reason or another. In the case of the rising concern about sea level that big factor that we ignore or cannot see is a major problem.
Already, streets are flooding like never before, from Miami to San Francisco and from Boston to Bangladesh — in fact, low-lying coastal areas all over the world. Major projections from the UN and various scientific groups have been projecting a possible foot of SLR by mid century and as much as three feet byh the end of this century.
Those possible 3 feet take into account the melting of glaciers from Alaska to the Alps and even Africa, and the minute expansion of seawater as the oceans warm. Those facts in SLR can be quantified fairly accurately, so they are tabulated.
What is rarely explained is that such projections omit the major glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica – the "elephants in the room" — or perhaps that should be the elephants that are preparing to go for a swim.
The reason they are omitted is that it is extremely difficult to predict exactly how quickly the glaciers will slide into the ocean, melt and run into the sea, or break off into icebergs – all of which have the effect to raise sea level worldwide.
Scientists do not want to report a number unless they have high confidence. Like predicting an earthquake, avalanche, tornado, or tsunami, large geophysical events like the collapse of the largest glaciers defy specific prediction. (For more, see http://www.johnenglander.net/sea-level-rise-blog/inability-predict-slr-similar-avalanche-problem)
The fact is that we do not know exactly how quickly the large Jacobshavn ("yak-OBS-hov-en") glacier of Greenland will slide into the sea causing about a foot and a half of global SLR. Nor the six unstable glaciers in West Antarctica known as the Pine Island Glaciers that have been calculated to hold ten feet of global SLR.
These are giant lumbering rivers of ice, a couple of miles thick, several miles wide, and tens of miles long. The fact that global temperatures are warmer than in all recorded history makes it extra difficult to know how long it will take for these to melt and add to sea level. What we do know is that they are melting faster and faster, ahead of most predictions.
So most studies measure the smaller glaciers in Alaska, in Glacier National Park or Kilimanjaro in Africa, where it is possible to get a reasonable estimate on the addition to sea level, plus the increased height from the warming ocean – all of which are effectively "the mice" in the room — the small stuff. In fact there are almost 200,000 smaller glaciers in the world that have been identified and are being tracked. Nearly all are shrinking and will disappear. The total of those gets us to about 3 feet of sea level rise this century.
The elephants are the big glaciers of Greenland and Antarctica, which effectively do not fit on the scale and thus cannot be measured along with the mice.
Perhaps visualizing an elephant getting ready to enter a home swimming pool helps to make the image. It is easy to grasp that the water level would rise and flow over the edge of the pool.
Similarly, the melting 'elephants' of Antarctica and Greenland are starting to have a noticeable effect on the water level of the global ocean. The ten or twelve feet of rise that will come from just the half dozen individual glaciers identified above is something for which we need to begin planning ASAP.
Those few glaciers are just the beginning. The larger areas of Greenland and Antarctica, the giant sheets miles thick, represent roughly two hundred feet of potential sea level rise. That has not melted for tens of millions of years. Let's hope we can get our act together and slow the warming, so that does not happen for thousands of years.
But in the meantime, regardless of our success at slowing the warming, it is time to start planning for higher sea levels and a shifting shoreline.
The "elephants" of Greenland and Antarctica are on the move, flexing their big bodies, and getting ready to go for a swim in the ocean.
We have time to begin adapting to the new reality, but we really have no time to waste.

The Target Leadership School, with Chief Logistics and People Officer Matthew Terry
The first company you join will likely make a huge impact on the rest of your career. Starting in a company that sets you up for success on the technical side, but especially, in leadership abilities is key. One of the companies that's generated amazing leaders in the last year is Target, a retailer that tends to be overlooked, probably eclipsed by its larger rivals.

Bands from several parts of Meghalaya and Assam were auditioned live in Shillong last October as part of the Brahmaputra Raga Jazz initiative taken by the Mumbai-based Banyan Tree Events with the support of Tata Trusts.
Empirical Tribe and Blueprint Dives from Shillong and Assam's The Pirates and Jambili emerged as the top four contestants. The bands were then shortlisted for the Brahmaputra Raga Jazz Concert in Delhi to be held sometime in March this year. But before they set sail for the concert, all the bands are going to record two originals, fused with Indian classical.
The recordings have begun at Lucid Recess Studios in Guwahati under the guidance of Kit Shangpliang from Summersalt. 'Recording with The Pirates went well. I hear the sound of something fresh,' says Kit. Each band is also being mentored by renowned slide guitarist Debashish Bhattacharya and Rudy Wallang from the band Soulmate.
Northeastern band, Traffic Jam based in Delhi has also been selected to play at the concert. They are recording their originals in Delhi. The concert will have each band showcase an amalgamation of Indian Ragas and authentic sounds from the Northeast.

Q: Duplicate camera stream I need to make a program that would allow me to capture camera stream with my 2 other programs simultaneously. Basically I need the functionality that ManyCams (http://www.manycam.com/) offers.
How can I do this? I'm interested in a free c++ library, or some C#/C++ .net solution.

A: well, one easy step will be "share" rather than "duplicate" camera streams, your application can capture camera streams then provide api to share it between multiple applications. OpenCV worth a look.

A: I'm not sure but you probably need to have good understanding of how hardware work and know how to develop a driver for it. What you should do is to get the graphic from usb device's driver and use what you get from your camera as input source for your own virtual camera drivers.


If you've seen the trailer for Disney's "Christopher Robin," you most likely saw the live-action Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and friends from the fictional Hundred Acre Wood playing in a real world alongside real actors like Ewan McGregor.
While the internet seems divided over whether or not the characters are cute or creepy, one thing is clear: they were not easy to act with.
At the press junket for the upcoming film in Beverly Hills, CA, Jim Cummings, the long-time voice actor of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger said that both "Ewan and Hayley (Atwell) should win Oscars for their ability to act to stuffed animals." It, indeed, was the method that all the real-life actors had to do before the CGI characters were added in later.
"We had multiple stuff Poohs and the others on set in different variations," said director Marc Forster. With some recent acting school graduates he had hired plus Cummings Pooh and Tigger voices put into the actors' ears, he asked each of them to manipulate these Pooh 'puppets' like their characters would in an animated world right on set so that the actors like McGregor and Atwell could act to them.
"It really was a strange scene to see while filming it all, but both Ewan and Haley pulled it off. They emote to something that isn't real and that's crazy good acting," Forster said.
"Christopher Robin" comes to theaters on August 3.

>>>Buy the All Seasons Bundle and Save! Click Here!<<<
Make writing fun this summer with these Summer Writing and Word Work Activities! Activity pages include "how to" writing, story writing, acrostic poetry, abc order, making words, syllables, sight word review, and identifying long vowel words. There are 34 student pages included in this product.
ABC ORDER - there are three abc order pages with 8 summer words per page. Dotted lines are provided as a guide for students to write the words. There is also an alphabet printed across the top of each page for students to reference while they work.
HOW TO WRITING - seven "how to" writing pages are included. Each page includes sequencing words "first, next, then and last" and includes a picture reference to spark their thinking. How to writing pages include how to build a sandcastle, how to dress for the beach, how to make a smore, how to make a hot dog, how to play at the beach, how to make lemonade and how to ride a bike.
STORY WRITING - there are four story writing prompt pages. Each story writing page includes a picture, story prompt and starting words such as "One day". Stories include, "My Favorite Summer Activities", "My Hiking Adventure", "The 4th of July Celebration" and "A Special Family Vacation".
ACROSTIC POEMS - there are five acrostic poem pages included. Each page includes a picture prompt and a word for students to write about. Acrostic poems include the words "summer", "camping", "crab", "sand" and "swim".
MAKING WORDS ACTIVITIES - there are four making words activities included. Each page includes a picture and letters that students can cut apart to help them make words. Students have to make as many words as they can out of the letters of a given word. The words are "sunshine", "vacations", "carnivals", and "lemonade".
SYLLABLE SORT - there are three syllable sort pages. Each page has three words with pictures. Students clap the syllables in the word and match the word to the correct number of syllables. The number is in the form of a number maze so students can have fun making their way through each number maze when they are done!
SIGHT WORD FUN - there are three sight word pages. Students spin a paper clip around a pencil to land on a sight word. They find the matching sight word and color it then write the word on a dotted line. Lastly, they find their way through a summer shaped maze (ice cream cone, dolphin or sunglasses) to get to the sight word at the other end.
LONG VOWEL FIND - there are five long vowel word work pages. Each page has a fun summer shaped (sunshine, watermelon, glass of lemonade, popsicle or pail and shovel) picture that is full of words. Students circle all the long vowel words (one for each of the five long vowels) and count up the total number they found.

Q: Is the union of an uncountable ascending chain of measurable sets measurable? Suppose that $I$ is an uncountable totally ordered index set and $(X_i)_{i\in I}$ is an ascending chain of measurable sets in some measurable space $(X,\Sigma)$. My question is: Is the union $\bigcup_{i\in I} X_i$ measurable?
One way to solve this would be to show that for every infinite chain $(A_j)_{j\in J}$ of sets ordered by inclusion, its union $A=\bigcup_{j\in J} A_j$ can be expressed as the union of some countable sub-chain. Is this possible perhaps?
For context: I want to make a Zorn argument, where my partially ordered set is the set of $\Sigma$-measurable sets with the inclusion ordering.

A: No, the union of a chain of measurable sets doesn't have to be measurable. I will give a counterexample.
I assume that there is a nonmeasurable set, and that all one-element sets are measurable. And of course I assume the axiom of choice, in the form of the well-ordering theorem.
Let $A$ be a nonmeasurable set, and let $\lt$ be a relation that well-orders $A$. For each $a\in A$, let $A_a=\{x\in A:x\lt a\}$.
Case 1. All of the sets $A_a$ $(a\in A)$ are measurable.
If $A$ had a greatest element, call it $a$, then $A=A_a\cup\{a\}$ would be the union of two measurable sets, and so $A$ would be measurable. Since $A$ is not measurable, $A$ has no greatest element, so $A=\bigcup_{a\in A}A_\alpha$ is the union of an ascending chain of measurable sets.
Case 2. Not all of the sets $A_a$ are measurable.
Consider the least element $b\in A$ such that $A_b$ is nonmeasurable, and apply the argument of Case 1 to the nonmeasurable set $B=A_b$.
P.S. Here is a simpler argument using Zorn's lemma instead of the well-ordering theorem. Let $A$ be a nonmeasurable set, and let $P$ be the set of all measurable subsets of $A$, partially ordered by inclusion. If we assume that the union of a chain of measurable sets is always measurable, then Zorn's lemma applies, and $P$ has a maximal element; that is, there is a maximal measurable subset of $A$. But that's absurd, because we can always add one more point.

A: The P.S in bof's answer also answers the following quite interesting question:
Given a chain of sets indexed by a an uncountable family is the intersection equal to the intersection of some countable sub-family of them?
No. Consider the all subsets of $[0,1]$ of Lebesgue measure $1$. If the answer was yes, then by maximality argument we would reach a contradiction ("we can always [subtract] one more point.)
