I was reading Neville's post on 'Being Rich' and it made me think about my definition of being rich.
To me, the Canadian Dream is your car paid for, your home paid for, and enough money in the bank that you can retire at a decent age while enjoying life until then And can pay your insurance.
Currently I have none of these. What I have instead is no savings and sizable student loan and consumer debt as the result of an overpriced post-secondary education. That's the bad news. The good news is that overpriced education got me a fairly well paying job, allowing me to meet my commitments and start putting some money away.
Over the past year or so I have managed to retire over $5000 of consumer debt and I have a plan to deal with the rest, which I will share in a future post. I have started on an emergency fund, and will be starting on more long-term investments once the emergency fund is built.
Money is not everything. I would rather have enough money for my needs and more time for family, friends, and hobbies.
I do not want money to control me, I want to control money. I want interest to work for my benefit and not work to pay interest off.
I want to be prepared for retirement, but I also want to enjoy life along the way. I don't have a goal of retirement by 35, just when I run out of work to do.
I will pay off my consumer debt within the next 6 years (Achieve Debt Relief).
I will pay off my student loan debt within the next 8 years (Student Debt Relief).
I will have an emergency fund that represents three months of income.
I will have 10% of monthly income going to savings and investments and 10% accelerating my debt repayment.
I will develop multiple streams of steady income.
I will own my own home, which will be large enough for my family but not larger than is reasonable.
In the long run I would like to be self-employed, but for now I very much enjoy my job.
Considering my current financial situation, you can expect more posts about debt management to get Achieve Debt Relief and savings from me than on investing, but hopefully we can learn along the way.

Eventbrite Reduces Fees Down Under, Aussies Save Loads
By Laura Huddle
Self-ticketing platform Eventbrite has announced it will lower its payment processing fees in a win for its Australian customers.
After 16 months in the Australian market, Eventbrite has reduced its payment processing fee from 3.5 per cent to 2 per cent for paid events. The platform will continue to allow users to list free events at no cost.
"With successes like Rainbow Serpent, Beyond the Valley, and Taste of Australia, Eventbrite is seeing strong traction in Australia, and we're excited to offer more savings to our Australian customers," said Australian managing director Rachael Neumann (pictured above).
Eventbrite's payment system boasts a range of perks including a seamless purchase experience, reserved seating capabilities, and easy management for refunds and chargebacks. The company will also continue to support PayPal and provide multiple payment options.
"Eventbrite provides a seamless and reliable ticketing platform for Mardi Gras and our customers," said Michele Bauer, CEO of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
"The drop in payment processing fees is fantastic news for organisers and buyers alike, and it's great to see Eventbrite supporting the Australian events market by reducing barriers to entry. Eventbrite is playing a big part in building a secure future for many iconic Australian events including Mardi Gras."

The Role of Public Health Improvements in Health Advances: The 20th Century United States

Date Written: May 2004
Mortality rates in the US fell more rapidly during the late 19th and early 20th Centuries than any other period in American history. This decline coincided with an epidemiological transition and the disappearance of a mortality "penalty" associated with living in urban areas. There is little empirical evidence and much unresolved debate about what caused these improvements, however. This paper investigates the causal influence of clean water technologies - filtration and chlorination - on mortality in major cities during the early 20th Century. Plausibly exogenous variation in the timing and location of technology adoption is used to idetify these effects, and the validity of this identifying assumption is examined in detail. We find that clean water was responsible for nearly half of the total mortality reduction in major cities, three-quarters of the infant mortality reduction, and nearly two-thirds of the child mortality reduction. Rough calculations suggest that the social rate of return to these technologies was greater than 23 to 1 with a cost per life-year saved by clean water of about $500 in 2003 dollars. Implications for developing countries are briefly considered.

MicroStrategy Closes $500M Offering for Bitcoin Purchase
MicroStrategy completes yet another debt raise to purchase Bitcoin.
Shutterstock cover by rafapress
Institutional investors quickly bought up $500 million worth of senior debt notes issued by MicroStrategy. The firm will use the nine-figure sum to buy Bitcoin.
MicroStrategy Still Bullish on Bitcoin
MicroStrategy is prepping for yet another significant Bitcoin purchase.
The business intelligence firm announced that it had completed its $500 million offering for newly issued debt notes Monday. The notes bear an annual interest rate of 6.125% for a period of seven years; the senior secured notes are due in 2028.
MicroStrategy estimates that the net proceeds from the sale of the notes and the related guarantees will be approximately $488 million after deducting initial discounts and other expenses.
The firm holds 92,079 BTC in its balance sheet, which means it should have over 100,000 coins after using the proceeds from the debt notes. That's more than any other publicly traded company. It started purchasing Bitcoin from the company's cash balance in September. The company then issued $1.6 million in debt in 2020 to make another investment. It has also bought more BTC in smaller amounts of $10-15 million over the last few months.
Bitcoin's price jumped on Sunday after confirmation of an important update in its codebase coupled with Elon Musk's confirmation that Tesla would retract its decision to stop accepting Bitcoin payments if 50% of the asset's mining came from clean energy sources. Veteran investor Paul Tudor Jones also stirred positive sentiments after doubling down on his Bitcoin investment as an inflationary hedge Monday.
MicroStrategy's incoming $500 million buy has further instilled bullishness in the market. Bitcoin was last trading at $40,734.

Today, Fujitsu introduces the first keyboard to be made from renewable materials using injection molding technology – saving CO2 emissions by moving away from plastic components. The new keyboard replaces 45 percent of plastic components with materials from renewable sources, promoting sustainable production and reducing reliance on oil. Fujitsu's new eco keyboard also has sustainable pricing, priced to match comparable plastic models.
Although almost indistinguishable from a keyboard made from plastic – and equally resistant to liquid spills – two major parts of the Fujitsu KBPC PX ECO keyboard are made from 100 percent biodegradable materials. The palm-rest is constructed from ARBOFORM®, which is based on lignin, a by-product of the pulp industry, mixed with natural fibers and additives. And the keyboard base is made entirely from BIOGRADE®, a form of cellulose acetate. Underlining its green credentials, the keyboard's USB cable is also PVC-free.
Fujitsu has developed the eco keyboard as part of its continued focus on integrating Green IT to its product portfolio. By making the switch to renewable materials for the KBPC PX ECO keyboard, Fujitsu expects to save approximately 60,000 kilograms of plastic per year.
Although the eco keyboard is easy on the environment, it still offers a rich level of comfort, plus premium features. For example, the keyboard features five additional function keys providing single-keystroke shortcuts to popular applications. Comfort is also a feature, with the detachable palm-rest warmer to the touch than cold plastic, making it more comfortable to users, while the keys themselves have an ergonomic design for maximum typing comfort.
The Fujitsu eco keyboard is available for order immediately across the CEMEA&I region.

Q: SpriteKit: Weird crash when preloading texture atlases I am currently working on a game for iOS using SpriteKit and I encountered a weird crash while implementing preloading of texture atlases. Here is a quick outline of what I got so far:
GameViewController.swift
import UIKit
import SpriteKit

class GameViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Configure the view.
        let skView = self.view as! SKView
        skView.showsFPS = true
        skView.showsNodeCount = true
        skView.showsDrawCount = true
        skView.showsPhysics = false
        skView.ignoresSiblingOrder = true
        skView.multipleTouchEnabled = true

        // Setup scene
        let scene = GameScene(size: skView.bounds.size)
        scene.scaleMode = .ResizeFill

        let MyAtlas1 = SKTextureAtlas(named: "MyAtlas1")
        let MyAtlas2 = SKTextureAtlas(named: "MyAtlas2")
        let MyAtlas3 = SKTextureAtlas(named: "MyAtlas3")

        SKTextureAtlas.preloadTextureAtlases([MyAtlas1, MyAtlas2, MyAtlas3], withCompletionHandler:
        {
            print("Everything loaded!")

            // Present scene
            skView.presentScene(scene)
        })
    }
    [...]

GameScene.swift
import SpriteKit

class GameScene: SKScene {

    var cam: SKCameraNode!
    var tilemap: Tilemap!
    var previousTime: CFTimeInterval = 0
    [...]

    override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
        /* Setup your scene here */

        [...]

        // Setup camera
        self.cam = SKCameraNode()
        self.cam.setScale(self.camScaleFactor)
        self.camera = self.cam
        self.addChild(self.cam)

        [...]

        // Load Tilemap
        self.tilemap = Tilemap(mapName: "testlevel2")
        self.addChild(self.tilemap)

        // Setup UI
        [...]
    }

    [...]

    override func update(currentTime: CFTimeInterval) {
        /* Called before each frame is rendered */

        if self.previousTime == 0 {
            self.previousTime = currentTime
        }

        let delta = currentTime - self.previousTime

        var p = self.cam.position
        p.x += 2.0 * CGFloat(delta)
        p.y += 1.5 * CGFloat(delta)
        self.cam.position = p

        // Update tilemap
        self.tilemap.update(delta)

        self.previousTime = currentTime
    }
}

The didMoveToView function is a bit lengthy, as it initializes a camera, a tilemap, UI stuff and some constraints. However, this compiles just fine. But when I run the game, it immediately crashes with the following fatal error: "unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value". As it turns out, that Optional Value is (randomly) either self.tilemap or self.cam and the error occurs in the update() function of GameScene on one of the following lines (also, randomly):
// here
var p = self.cam.position

// or here
self.tilemap.update(delta)

The debugger tells me that either self.tilemap or self.cam is nil. But I cannot figure why that is the case. It appears to me that the function didMoveToView gets executed when the scene is presented and then suddenly halfway through, the update function is called where self.tilemap or self.cam is still uninitialized.
When I change the viewDidLoad function of the GameViewController to this:
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Configure the view.
        let skView = self.view as! SKView
        skView.showsFPS = true
        skView.showsNodeCount = true
        skView.showsDrawCount = true
        skView.showsPhysics = false
        skView.ignoresSiblingOrder = true
        skView.multipleTouchEnabled = true

        // Setup scene
        let scene = GameScene(size: skView.bounds.size)
        scene.scaleMode = .ResizeFill

        let MyAtlas1 = SKTextureAtlas(named: "MyAtlas1")
        let MyAtlas2 = SKTextureAtlas(named: "MyAtlas2")
        let MyAtlas3 = SKTextureAtlas(named: "MyAtlas3")

        SKTextureAtlas.preloadTextureAtlases([MyAtlas1, MyAtlas2, MyAtlas3], withCompletionHandler:
        {
            print("Everything loaded!")
        })

        // Present scene
        skView.presentScene(scene)
    }
    [...]

everything works perfectly. But that is obviously not the solution, because I want to preload everything before starting the scene. Also note: I am aware that the preloaded atlases get removed from memory right away, since I do not keep a strong reference to them. Anyhow, that code is really just for demonstration and testing.
So my question is: Has anybody ever had a similar issue or knows what is going on with that error? I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Any help is much appreciated.

A:
You create app using template, it will create view as SCNView.
This SCNView collide with you desire to have on story board SKView.

*

*Delete SCNView from you storyboard

*SKView is not available as View option

*Enter regular UIView to storyboard

*On properties class, type SKView, it will accept even it is not on list

*This will fix issue when you trying to create SKView

EVENTS LEADING TO THE MORANT BAY REBELLION OF 1865
Emancipation on August 1, 1838 was followed by years of hardship for the ex-slaves and financial struggles for the plantation owners due mainly to poor estate management. Also, the decline in the price of sugar made production unprofitable, so some planters sold their estates and many who worked on the sugar plantations lost their jobs.
In 1864, Edward Eyre was made Governor of Jamaica. He was unsympathetic towards the poor who were constantly being arrested for petty offences, and planters and ex-slave owners were cruel to them.
HOW NATIONAL HEROES GEORGE WILLIAM GORDON AND PAUL BOGLE PLAYED THEIR ROLES IN THE REBELLION
George William Gordon was a Justice of the Peace in St. Thomas who showed interest in and sympathy for the poor. He was educated and a very rich businessman. He realised that the people needed justice in the courts and doctors to care for them, so he reported the matter to Governor Eyre who did nothing to resolve the plight of the poor but rather removed Gordon as Justice of the Peace. However, Gordon still maintained his goal to help the poor, and he ran in an election and won a seat in the House of Assembly.
Paul Bogle, a farmer and deacon in the Native Baptist Church, was also concerned about the hardships experienced by the people. He, along with sympathisers of the Native Baptist movement, supported Gordon in his campaign to win his seat in the Assembly.
As leader of a group in Stony Gut, St. Thomas, Bogle wanted to air the grievances of the poor to Governor Eyre, but was refused an airing. He decided to take matters in hand and began to train persons for combat, and led a riot on October 11, 1865 that resulted in the Custos of the parish being killed and the Morant Bay Courthouse being burnt to the ground.
Governor Eyre sent government troops to hunt down the poorly armed rebels and the Maroons captured Bogle and brought him back to Morant Bay for trial. The troops met with no organised resistance, but regardless, they killed Blacks indiscriminately, most of whom had not been involved in the riot or rebellion. In the end, 439 Black Jamaicans were killed directly by soldiers, and 354 more (including Bogle and Gordon) were arrested and later executed, some without proper trials.
George William Gordon and Paul Bogle gave their lives for the betterment of the poor in Jamaica. In 1977 they were awarded the title of National Hero.

Double Puzzle
THE AFTERMATH OF THE 1856 MORANT BAY REBELLION
THE LIFE AND WORK OF NATIONAL HERO PAUL BOGLE
Paul Bogle was born in Stony Gut, St. Thomas, a few miles north of Morant Bay. He was a deacon in the Native Baptist Church in Stony Gut, St. Thomas. He was well respected in his district, had great influence among his peers, and was considered to be a natural leader. He was an energetic man with a dominant personality and, although he had very little formal education, he was a successful small farmer. His faith in God led him to believe that, in some way, he was an instrument of God to be used for the betterment of the people. Bogle was among 106 inhabitants in the parish of St. Thomas who had the right to vote. He was the political agent for George William Gordon, to whom he had religious ties. He was also the leader of the movement for passive resistance to oppression and injustice in the parish of St. Thomas. When this approach failed, he later teamed with his brother, Moses, in leading an active resistance movement in St. Thomas that culminated in the Morant Bay Rebellion of 1865.
Paul Bogle
Bogle's Involvement in the Morant Bay Rebellion
The year 1865 was one of severe trials for the majority of the people of Jamaica as wages were extremely low and peasant farmers were unable to procure land for cultivation. Bogle was driven by the conditions of the majority of the people to protest against the poverty and injustice in the society. On the morning of August 12, 1865, Bogle walked 45 miles from Stony Gut to Spanish Town to present the grievances of the people of Morant Bay to the Governor, Edward Eyre, but was denied an audience.
Bogle started to hold secret meetings in the hills and drilled his followers to form a small army. Early in October 1865, two of Bogle's followers were to be tried in Morant Bay. On October 7, Bogle and his group marched into Morant Bay and arrived at the courthouse where the trial of a peasant was in progress. The proceedings were disrupted by angry members of the crowd in the court room. The police tried to arrest a man who appeared to be the main offender and a fight broke out between them and Bogle's men.
Three days later, a squad of policemen went to Stony Gut to arrest Bogle but were overpowered by some of Bogle's men. Bogle and his committee sent a letter of appeal to the Governor, indicating that the warrant for his arrest was unlawful.
On their return to Morant Bay, the police reported the incident to the Custos who requested military aid from the Governor. The Custos decided to hold the regular meeting of the Vestry on October 11 and called out the militia.
On the day of the vestry meeting, Bogle started for Morant Bay with his followers. Some members of Bogle's army broke into a police station and stole weapons, and then the crowd met outside the courthouse in Morant Bay.
There was an angry interchange between Bogle's men and the militia. The Custos read the Riot Act and ordered the militia to fire on the crowd after an officer was injured in a stone-throwing incident.
The crowd killed members of the militia and forced others into the courthouse. A building behind the courthouse was set on fire and, as the flames spread to the main building, many people were killed including the Custos.
Bogle marched some of his men out of Morant Bay, leaving a garrison behind in control of the town. Martial Law was proclaimed and, by October 16, hundreds of people in St. Thomas were arrested, but Bogle could not be found. Bogle was caught by a party of Maroons and brought to Morant Bay for trial. He was hanged on October 24, 1865.
In 1965, a statue of Paul Bogle was erected in front of the Morant Bay courthouse and, in 1969, Paul Bogle was named a National Hero of Jamaica.

We'll Search For You When Its Cooler: Texas Manhunt Called Off Due To Heat
Residents in Houston are a bit concerned when Harris County police decided to call off a manhunt of an escaped prisoner because of the heat. The man was arrested for possession and suspected of robbery. However, he was able to get out of his handcuffs during transport and escaped. The police started the manhunt but then called it off because it was just to darn hot.
The escape occurred around noon and police decided the heat was taking its toll on the officers and their dogs. It does not appear that the man waited out of a sense of fair play for the temperature to drop.

Former Vice President Al Gore is doing what few environmentalists and fellow Democrats have done before, criticizing President Barack Obama's record on global warming.
In a 7,000-word essay for Rolling Stone magazine that was posted online Wednesday, Gore says Obama has failed to stand up for "bold action." Gore contends that Obama has made little progress on the problem since Republican President George W. Bush. Bush infuriated environmentalists by resisting mandatory controls on the pollution blamed for climate change, despite overwhelming scientific evidence that the burning of fossil fuels is responsible.
Gore does credit Obama's political appointees with making hundreds of changes that have helped move the country "forward slightly" on the climate issue, but says the president "has simply not made the case for action."
"Obama has never presented to the American people the magnitude of the climate crisis," Gore says. "He has not defended the science against the ongoing withering and dishonest attacks. Nor has he provided a presidential venue for the scientific community … to bring the reality of the science before the public."

Ah yes. Those great scientific journals, the NYT and CBS. Next time I have to analyze a case, I will be sure to refer to them for a definitive answer to my questions. Makes much more sense than wading through a few hundred pages of dense text with footnotes.
And of course, the SCOTUS is another great font of wisdom on every subject. However, the Court did appear to try and put some distance between itself and the, "…complicated issues related to carbon dioxide emissions and climate change."
Footnote to SCOTUS ruling yesterday.
"For views opposing EPA's, see, e.g., Dawidoff, The Civil Heretic, N. Y. Times Magazine 32 (March 29, 2009). The Court, we caution, endorses no particular view of the complicated issues related to carbon dioxide emissions and climate change."

All of the retractions from the IPCC ect. ect. ect.
Dr. Slarti, there is an additional layer to your observations, which are by the way, absolutely spot on. It is the matter of the "expert" who pontificates, using an earned Ph.D. as some sort of leverage to gain credibility. Jerome Corsi is a perfect example of somebody with a Harvard Ph.D. who consistently talks out his ass.
I have to shake my head at the failure to understand complex systems by people who should know better. Perhaps it is because of the specialty from which they come. If you are used to looking at chemical reactions in test tubes, perhaps there is a tendency to see most problems as a simple cause and effect.
I have a friend who is a board certified forensic pathologist, but went back and did a Residency in psychiatry. We were talking one evening about the two completely unrelated fields of medicine, because I was fascinated by the fact that a pathologist at the top of his game would want to become a psychiatrist. He had this observation: "In pathology the books are this thick," he said, holding his fingers five inches apart.
"When you read and pretty much memorize the material, it becomes very simple. On the other hand, in psychiatry, the books are this thick." He held his thumb and forefinger an inch apart. "But the difference is that in psychiatry, the concepts that appear simple at first are enormously complex and it takes a lifetime to understand some of them."
My friend could do a wonderful job as a highly respected forensic pathologist, but found his greatest challenge as a psychiatrist. All too many experts look at the world of science like the pathologist who fails to see the fantastically complex brain systems that made up who the person was before death.
Slartibartfast says:
Otteray Scribe,
As someone who believes he knows something about complexity (you can decide if that is an indication that I'm talking out of my ass or the other thing…) I certainly understand the dangers of making decisions based on a naive or superficial understanding of a complex system. In just about any technical field you should never take the argument of a layman over that of an expert without some sort of extraordinary reason to do so. Bdaman's sole filter for reliability in information is whether or not it agrees with his biases and prejudices – which seems far from extraordinary to me (in fact it seems pretty pathetic).
Gyges,
That's what I was talking about – thanks!

Slart,
Here you go. There's several of their articles linked in the sources section
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect
Slarti–yes, I think my friend falls into the category you name. He is very humble about his work and tends to minimize his great contributions. But I think he overestimates his skills in areas outside his own area. Like many deniers, his level of knowledge is not much deeper than you can find on popular web sites or magazine articles. As far as I know, he does not subscribe to a single professional journal on the subject of weather. He has a wonderful understanding of fluid dynamics and can fill a blackboard with dense mathematical formulas, but that does not translate into actual practice of the complex interaction of all the contributing factors.
Even some scientists do not really understand the vast complexity of what is happening. Or how hard it is to do the numbers–they want to seize on a few anecdotal events and try to extrapolate from that. It does not work that way. When I was working on my dissertation, I used a multiple regression equation. Computers were a bit more primitive then, and did not have the number crunching capacity we do now. I had so many variables to calculate that it locked up the mainframe computer in the University engineering department. I had a whole bunch of engineers and mathematicians mad at me. Big numbers and big events on a global scale do not make for simple solutions.
Mike Spindell says:
Call me irresponsible,
Call me unreliable,
but it's undeniably true:
That we humans and our toys are screwing up this world to the extent that we will create ecological disasters that can put us on the brink of extinction. I don't need no stinkin science to tell me that:
Auto exhaust fumes are bad for us in so many ways.
Non-biodegradeable plastics are killing the land and seas.
Coal power is a blight on the countryside and to the air.
Our Rain forests are dying.
Our fish are dying.
Humanity is growing at such a rate as to make Malthus a profit
etc., etc., etc.,
Yet we are beset by maniacs who believe in Revelations, so who cares?
We are beset by corporations, their paid help and gullible believers, who worship profit uber alles.
We are beset by bible thumpers who believe human's have God Given permission to trash the world through our dominance.
Billions are hungry, billions lack health care, billions lack water,
but billionaires hog up the coastline and every other beautiful place on earth building their glittering mansions of glam, which they only occupy on a part time basis. Will this madness ever end in something that can leave us hopeful for the future?
I read an article a couple months ago (sorry, I don't have the link) about how people with a lot of expertise in a field tend to underestimate their knowledge and those lacking expertise tend to overestimate their ability. Does your friend exhibit the other side of this behavior as well? I remember being shocked when my advisor told me that I had done enough research and should just finish writing up my dissertation – it seemed to me like I hadn't done much of anything. One tends to be so familiar with one's own research that it just seems readily obvious so you assume that others understand it just as easily (this probably breaks down a little when you get to the level of people who objectively are among the foremost experts in their field, though…).
Bdaman,
You can stop providing us evidence of climate change any time now – you've already completely destroyed your argument that it isn't occurring with all of your reports of extreme weather. Frankly, it's embarrassing that you don't realize that your own arguments prove that you are wrong.
If there ever was a group I would NOT turn to as a definitive source of scientific data, it would be television weather announcers. Most have only a bachelor's degree, if that, and their specialty is explaining the colorful WX maps they download from somewhere. The vast majority of them have a role that is more entertainer than scientist.
I have a lifelong friend who is a climate change skeptic and actually signed one of those letters stating the whole thing was hyperbole. He is a world famous scientist, but unfortunately, his Ph.D. is in a field so far unrelated to climatology or meteorology that he cannot see it from here. Despite his credentials (and I fully expect him to win a Nobel Prize one day), he knows far less than I do about climatology. That, in a nutshell, is part of the problem. Red herrings by well-meaning but under-informed people who think they know more than they do.

AMS Survey of Weathercasters on Climate Change
11:36 pm November 15, 2009
A survey of weathercasters' feelings on global warming was published in this month's edition of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. It had some interesting findings. There were 121 respondents. 94% of the respondents had at least one of the three major seals.
Television meteorologists are the official scientists for most television stations. The overwhelming majority felt comfortable in that role for their stations. The majority agreed that the role of discussing climate change did fall to them.
The eyebrow raising responses:
"Respond to this IPCC conclusion: "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal." Only 35% agreed or strongly agreed. 34% disagreed or strongly disagreed.
"Most of the warming since 1950 is likely human induced." A full 50% disagreed or strongly disagreed. 25% were neutral on this question. Only 8% strongly agreed.
"Global climate models are reliable in their predictions for a warming of the planet." Only 3% strongly agreed and another 16% agreed. A full 62% disagreed or strongly disagreed.
"Respond to one TV weathercaster's Quote saying "Global warming is a scam." Responses were mixed. The largest percentage was neutral, at 26%. A total of 45% disagreed (23%) or strongly disagreed (22%). 19% of the respondents agreed with this statement and 10% strongly agreed.
The amount of uncertainty found in this survey tells that even the most educated and motivated communicators are still uncertain about the truth on this issue. Interesting article.

Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Buildup Unlikely to Spark Abrupt Climate Change, Scientists Find
ScienceDaily (June 19, 2011) — There have been instances in Earth history when average temperatures have changed rapidly, as much as 10 degrees Celsius (18 degrees Fahrenheit) over a few decades, and some have speculated the same could happen again as the atmosphere becomes overloaded with carbon dioxide.
New research lends support to evidence from numerous recent studies that suggest abrupt climate change appears to be the result of alterations in ocean circulation uniquely associated with ice ages.
"There might be other mechanisms by which greenhouse gases may cause an abrupt climate change, but we know of no such mechanism from the geological record," said David Battisti, a University of Washington atmospheric sciences professor.
Battisti was part of a team that used a numerical climate model coupled with an oxygen-isotope model to determine what caused climate shifts in a computer-generated episode that mimicked Heinrich events during the last ice age, from 110,000 to 10,000 years ago. Heinrich events produced huge numbers of North Atlantic Ocean icebergs that had broken off from glaciers.
The simulations showed the sudden increase in North Atlantic sea ice cooled the Northern Hemisphere, including the surface of the Indian Ocean, which reduced rainfall over India and weakened the Indian monsoon.
Battisti noted that while carbon dioxide-induced climate change is unlikely to be abrupt, the impacts of changing climate could be.
"When you lose a keystone species, ecosystems can change very rapidly," he said. "Smoothly retreating sea ice will cause fast warming if you live within a thousand kilometers of the ice. If warming slowly dries already semi-arid places, fires are going to be more likely."
Previous studies of carbonate deposits from caves in China and India are believed to show the intensity of monsoon precipitation through the ratio of specific oxygen isotopes. The modeling the scientists' used in the current study reproduced those isotope ratios, and they determined that the Heinrich events were associated with changes in the intensity of monsoon rainfall in India rather than East Asia.
The research is published online June 19 by Nature Geoscience. The lead author is Franceso Pausata of the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research in Norway. Besides Battisti, other co-authors are Kerim Nisancioglu of UNI Research in Norway and Cecilia Bitz of the UW.
The work was funded by the Norwegian Research Council and the U.S. National Science Foundation.

A: The problem is with how you have handled this call request.POST.item. The call to item function returns an unordered dictionary. This is causing your second for-loop to match user inputs against wrong question. Below is a sample code of what I mean:
user_inputs = request.POST.items() # key: choice<question_no> and value: <user_choice>
for question in question_set:
    user_choice = user_inputs.get('choice'+question.question_no)

The trade deadline is right upon us and that just means one thing: hell will break loose in the NBA a couple of hours from now, and the league is just minutes away from going through the mayhem.
With several moves likely to go down in the next couple of hours, it's going to get kind of difficult getting a hold on what may or may not happen, especially with some of those trades featuring just spare parts as salary dump moves.
That's why today, we're going to let you know about some of the most important trades that could actually happen before the deadline, so you don't miss a beat of all the things the NBA has prepared for us.
Even though he's been banged up for most of the season, Nikola Mirotic's stellar play when healthy has been more than enough to draw a lot of interest around the league from several contending teams.
The Houston Rockets are desperately looking to add more depth and shooters, while the Utah Jazz has been trying to get him since he was on Chicago. Also, the Milwaukee Bucks surge as dark horses to land the sharpshooting wing.
It's been a while since we last heard about Markelle Fultz, but that does n't mean the team 's front office hasn't been actively shopping him, especially with them entering win-now mode with the Tobias Harris trade.
Fultz value may be at an all-time low right now, but there's no denying in his upside. Also, the Sixers just gave up 4 future picks in order to land Harris, so you know they'll be on the market for role players and draft selections.
Apparently, the Toronto Raptors are quietly trying to shop Kyle Lowry, even despite the fact that he's been playing arguably the best ball of his career, at least when it comes to playmaking. Perhaps, they know he tends to underperform in the playoffs.
The Memphis Grizzlies already rejected a move for Lowry, but the Jazz is actively pursuing a deal to find a replacement for Ricky Rubio. In order to get him, the Jazz would send Rubio and Derrick Favors up North.
The Detroit Pistons and Reggie Jackson are not precisely a match made in heaven, to say the least, and we all know this team is not going to make the playoffs unless they find a true starting point guard.
Mike Conley would like a fresh start in the Eastern Conference, according to his agent, and the Pistons can still make a late push for the postseason. They could have Conley in return for Reggie Jackson, picks and spare parts to match salaries.
The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly given up on landing Anthony Davis, especially because of the fact that the New Orleans Pelicans have n't even responded to their trade offer yet. Still, that doesn't mean this deal can't go through today.
See, rumors state that Danny Ainge is about to lowball the Pelicans in the offseason and they're not likely to find a better offer than the one the Lakers did, featuring Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Rajon Rondo, Ivica Zubac, Josh Hart, Lance Stephenson, and 4 draft picks.

Surname Saturday: Mojsabovsky or Mezhibovsky
Back in 2012 for a Surname Saturday I wrote about the Surname Mojsabovsky
I wrote I didn't know the etymology of the name, or exactly how to spell it. With a lot of ancestral surnames I've learned spelling is often phonetic, and this is especially true with names of Hebrew or Yiddish origin. Since these languages use a different alphabet than English, names go through a 'transliteration' that doesn't have set rules.
I've recently come across a surname that may be what I was searching for: Mezhibovsky. There are a handful of hits with the surname on Google, as well as in the JewishGen databases. It's about as common as my ancestral surname, Cruvant, but it does exist. And, like 'Cruvant,' it seems to be a location-based surname, referencing the town Mezhybozhe/Medzhybizh in the Western Ukraine. (Dictionary of Jewish Surnames from the Russian Empire, Alexander Beider). The town is considered the birthplace of the Hasidic movement, as the movement's founder, the Baal Shem Tov, lived there from 1742-1760. The Hasidic movement definitely spread to Lithuania where my second great grandmother Minnie married Moshe Leyb Cruvant. Whether Minnie's family was originally from Mezhybozhe, is uncertain, but an intriguing possibility.

NY State Budget Cuts City Public Health Funding by $59M
Staten Island New York Personal Injury Lawyer > Insurance > NY State Budget Cuts City Public Health Funding by $59M
in Insurance, Medical Malpractice
The state's $175.5 billion budget includes a $59 million cut to public health funding for the city Health Department, Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Monday.
The budget lowered the state's reimbursement for health services provided by the city to a minimum of 20%, compared with 36% for all other municipalities statewide.
De Blasio said the funding is used for newborn home visits; clinics that treat STDs, HIV and tuberculosis; and public health response services that have been used for Legionnaires' disease, West Nile and Zika. It is also used to combat opioid addiction and test updated vaccines for diseases such as measles and hepatitis A.
"Once again the state is cutting critical funding New Yorkers rely on," the mayor said in a statement.
State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker testified this year that the cut was made because New York City qualifies for federal funding that other municipalities cannot access.
City Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot disagreed.
"The Health Department will not be able to compensate for the loss of funding with federal dollars—federal funding is earmarked for certain activities and not guaranteed," she said in statement to Crain's. "We urge the state to fully restore the funding next year, so that we can limit the loss in public health gains we have been able to realize on behalf of all New Yorkers."
The state Legislature and Gov. Andrew Cuomo's agreement on a budget over the weekend had far-reaching effects, with the final agreement altering funding for hospitals, pharmacists, direct-care workers and ambulance companies by tens of millions of dollars.
In addition to receiving a $550 million increase to Medicaid, hospitals also avoided a budget proposal that would have lowered payments to facilities with high rates of avoidable admissions. A pool set aside for safety-net hospitals, which treat high numbers of Medicaid and uninsured patients, increased by $32 million, to $82 million. The final agreement also excluded an Assembly proposal, opposed by hospitals, that would have allowed patients or insurers to appeal out-of-network emergency room charges to an independent dispute-resolution entity. Currently only physician charges can be appealed.
"I am exceedingly pleased with this outcome," Kenneth Raske, president and CEO of the Greater New York Hospital Association, wrote to members.
The association said the one "fly in the ointment" was a $24.5 million cut to five academic medical centers.
Independent pharmacists cheered the budget's ban of "spread pricing," in which pharmacy benefit managers keep the difference between what they charge Medicaid managed-care plans and what they reimburse pharmacies. The budget requires insurers to pay no more than ingredient costs, the dispensing fees paid to pharmacies and an administrative fee for providing pharmacy benefit management services. The Department of Health "may establish a maximum administrative fee," according to the budget.
"This new law is an exciting and important first step in bringing high prescription drug costs down by shedding new light on the business practices of PBMs," said Elizabeth Lasky, executive director of the Pharmacists Society of the State of New York.
Eric Linzer, president of the state Health Plan Association, said the initiative includes "an extremely aggressive timeline" of about three months in which Medicaid plans must rework their contracts with PBMs. "Our preference would have been for additional time around implementation," he said.
Direct-care workers
Workers who support individuals with mental health conditions, substance-use disorders or developmental disabilities will receive a 2% pay increase Jan. 1 and an additional 2% raise April 1, 2020. The raises will cost the state $80 million. That falls short of the $140 million that social services agencies had requested to cover a broader 2.9% cost-of-living adjustment, which would have helped nonprofits manage rising rents, health benefits and utility costs.
Ambulance companies
The budget did not include a proposal by the governor to save $17.5 million by limiting Medicaid payments for ambulances and psychologists. The state would have paid no more than what Medicaid would reimburse for services even if the patient was dually eligible for Medicaid and Medicare. Medicaid typically pays patients' Medicare Part B deductibles.
"At a time when the statewide ambulance industry struggles to survive, our representatives have sent a clear signal of their support for our providers, our employees and the safety and well-being of all New Yorkers," David Butler, chairman of the United New York Ambulance Network, said in a statement.

Our premium genever. Hand-produced in limited quantities by our Master Distiller. Stored for 18 months in oak casks from the French Limousin region – hence its pale golden color and sweet, rich, oaky, flavor. For the true genever connoisseurs of the world. We know you three love it.
Malt spirit is the heart of genever. It's what makes genever genever, you could say. We wanted to showcase our unique malt spirit in its purest form – just like how they were drinking it way back when in the 17th century. Now bartenders and connoisseurs can taste the origins of this exclusive spirit.
Malt spirit is the soul of genever. It's a tricky business to make and we like ours triple-distilled, so it's a good thing we've got some-400 years practice in.
Bols started producing genever and liqueurs in 1575. Since then we have mastered the art of distillation, and passed on this knowledge from one Master Distiller to the next.
Today, that's Piet van Leijenhorst. Our Master Distiller triple-distills his own combination of rye, corn and wheat in copper pot stills to 47% alcohol to create our superior malt spirit.
42% — the percentage that makes a genever perfect for making cocktails. Or, so the world's leading bartenders say.
This serve perfectly embodies our home town of Amsterdam. Bold, colourful and delightfully complex.
Kopstootje (pronounced cop-stoat-cha, meaning 'headbutt' in Dutch) is a traditional Amsterdam genever-drinking ritual, where the drinker takes their first sip from an almost over-full tulip glass without using their hands − for fear of spilling. Best enjoyed with a beer.
Your grandfather's grandfather's grandfather may have tasted Bols Genever in one of the first cocktails, when our genever sparked the cocktail revolution of the early 19th century. True story.
Not long after Bols Genever arrived in the USA, it was discovered to be a perfect mixing ingredient for cocktails, making it an instant hit.
Okay, no one was really mixing drinks yet, but this all changed when cocktail legend Jerry P. Thomas, aka 'The Professor', wrote the first bartending book full of cocktail recipes – the ones considered classics today.
Besides whiskey, rum and brandy, Bols Genever was one of the preferred base spirits for mixing with thanks to its rich, mellow, smooth and malty taste.
Today, Jerry's book is still considered a bible for bartenders around the world. And Bols Genever still here to bring it to life.
Combine the ingredients with ice in a mixing glass, and stir well.
Strain into the lightbulb glass. Serve the lightbulb next to a rocks glass filled with ice and garnished with an orange twist.

If you can read this then you can see!
Millions of people in developing countries can't see properly. And the tragedy is, many of them suffer from visual problems that can be treated and cured!
When you can see, it can be easy to take your vision for granted. But giving vision to someone who doesn't have it is life-changing and reverberates through families, communities and, ultimately, economies.
75-80% of these people in developing countries are affected by treatable conditions!


I love this idea from Krokotak to use a simple printable face design as the base for a collage of found nature items.
Does it Belong in Nature?
Fall is the perfect time for nature walks, and while there are lots of nature scavenger hunt ideas out there, one thing that's not always on the list, but which you're likely to find, is garbage.
Playing with baking soda and vinegar is fun all year, but it adds a spin to it when you make your "volcano" inside a pumpkin.
Things can get a little crazy in the classroom this time of year, but sometimes it's good to embrace the madness and turn it into a learning activity.
It isn't quite time to move from pumpkins to turkeys, but I really like this practical life activity turkey from Natural Beach Living.
There are so many fun crafts and activities you can do with a Halloween theme.
The Dr. Seuss book 10 Apples Up on Top is super silly, and it's a fun one to read with preschoolers (and older kids!) this time of year when apples are everywhere.
This time of year all activities seem to have a fall theme, with pumpkins and apples popping up all over worksheets and within activities to make them a little more fun.
Kids love to punch holes, and it's a big deal for a lot of kids when their hands are strong enough to work a hole puncher.
In a week, my daughter will be a third grader.
I don't know whether I'm more shocked that she is almost nine or that the summer went by so fast.
I have done painting with Q-Tips before, but always just one at a time. I love the look of this project, where Q-Tips were bundled to make a bigger "brush" to paint a fall tree.

Architect of Possible Dreams
In an exclusive interview, Jaime Lerner talks about the challenges that public transportation is facing in Brazil and his expectations for the III SIBRT Conference.
The architect and urban planner former Mayor of Curitiba for three terms and former Governor of Paraná for two terms – regards large urban center problems with a unique point of view. For him, the voice of the majority that repeats and reinforces the discourse that large cities are doomed to failure when it comes to urban mobility is a blurred vision of the city, "it is like a body receiving people's life; not just a group of concrete and roads ".
Today, the man who launched his gaze over the city of Curitiba by creating new models and concepts of urbanization in 1971, is now dedicating his time to Institute, he is also a consultant for the UN as regards urban matters and is the President of architectural firm that bears his name.
Elected in 2010 byTimemagazine as one of the 25 most influential thinkers, believes the private car in the future will look like cigarette nowadays: "It can be used, but it is recommended not to do it so that you will not annoy people."
Invited as a keynote speaker at the Third SIBRT Conference of Best Practices in Latin America (Belo Horizonte, June 47), Lerner said, among other things, about his ideas for urban mobility success, the benefits of investment in surface transport especially BRT and the importance of changing paradigms of people who "do not change their concepts if there are no better alternatives." So he proposes a quality public transport and viable for all.
Check out the interview below:
SIBRT What are the main deficiencies of the public transport systems in major cities in Brazil?
The main deficiency is the lack of trust of people in public transport, which makes them opt for the private car. In my opinion, Brazil is a country that has the best of the conditions to solve problems regarding urban mobility: we have the technology, funding programs and the recent willingness to cooperate public transport companies, which are ready to improve. This is the good time to make things change!
SIBRT What are the most urgent measures to remedy these deficiencies or at least minimize them?
What is missing to complete this positive scenario is a political decision including technical commitment to overcome the current barriers. The system should be integrated so that it can satisfy people's needs. The secret is to have a metro that operates well and which is integrated with effective bus routes services and other surface solutions. We have to use everything. The bus is now responsible for 70%, 80% current transport.
The government often does not know what he wants and, often, it is difficult to convince people that there will be improvements. The vision of the city should also be reconsidered: it is necessary for people to have an integrated view of the city, as it is a structure of life, work, leisure, all together. I cannot think of the place of residence, place of work, entertainment apart from one another.
SIBRT The expression "metronizar" the bus is yours: What does that mean exactly?
It means giving to the bus the same performance as the subway, where the user pays his fare outside of the station and not inside the bus which speeds the entry of passengers. Accelerating access through boarding at the same level and reserved lanes for buses is a way to provide more convenience, comfort and safety. And above all, ensuring frequency is very important to enhance credibility. With the bus you can reach a frequency of one minute, with subway it is not possible.
People simply will not believe in an alternative if the latter is not better. We have to provide a high quality system to change the paradigm. The car will be like smoking in the future. You can have a car, but you will be advised not to use it in order not annoy people.
SIBRT What are the main assets/differences of surface transport?
The big asset is the cost, which is 50 to 100 times less per kilometer compared to the subway. Moreover, the implementation speed is 2 to 3 years. The operation pays the cost, if well planned i.e. there is no need for subsidies and it is not necessary to sacrifice generations to provide a quality transportation system.
SIBRT Do you believe that surface transport is the future of urban transportation in Brazil and in the world?
The future is on the surface, but it is essential that each BRT implementation is well operated integrated to land use and growth of cities. Brazil is the country that has the best knowhow in BRT system – system which is currently implemented in 156 cities all over the world, such as Bogota and Mexico City, in Europe, China and the U.S.
For example, I do not believe in the expression "transport corridor". I prefer to use transportation axis integrated to urban planning. The corridor has no relation to land use.
SIBRT In your opinion why the transport sector is still not considered as a priority in public policies in Brazil?
I think there is a reaction against simple solutions from the government. In Brazil, this is not possible. We live in a false dilemma: either the car or the subway. The reality is that we cannot think of a single type of transport. It is very difficult to have a subway system like in Paris or London, which were deployed for more than 100 years. What we know is that in São Paulo itself, 84% of trips are made on the surface. Then it is necessary that the surface is well made. In some cases, in Brazil, BRT implementation has not been done with an integrated view of the city.
SIBRT Curitiba is a world reference in public transport thanks to the implementation of BRT over 30 years ago, during your term. What factors determine the success of this model that has already been adopted worldwide?
Curitiba worked with an integrated view of the city, which began to be designed with the structure: life, work, leisure and mobility which all worked together. What we did was to use this concept, and most importantly, make good use of the land. Therefore, we are the benchmark.
SIBRT In June, the Third SIBRT Conference of Best Practices in Latin America will be held in Belo Horizonte. What are your expectations for the event?
My expectation is that the implementation of BRT systems in Brazil occurs more rapidly. The great resistance came from bus operators. This resistance no longer exists. I hope that this Conference will promote an action plan in the cities and that cities will contemplate their systems with more quality. This needs to happen now!
