As per a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) source decision regarding whether India will play against Pakistan at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 will be taken by the government once the tournament is near. "Situation will get clearer after some time, a little closer to the World Cup. ICC has nothing to do with it. If the government at that point in time feels we shouldn't play, it's obvious that we won't play," a BCCI source was quoted saying by ANI.
"But the result of that would be that Pakistan will get the points of the match & if it is final (b/w India & Pakistan), they will win the World Cup without even playing. We haven't yet approached ICC in this regard," the source added. India vs Pakistan Match in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 to be Played Despite Pulwama Attack, Suggests Dave Richardson.
According to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 schedule, India will take on Pakistan in the group stage match on 16 June at Old Trafford. If India decides against playing the match, then Pakistan will be awarded the valuable points.

Amazing birds, really like the 'trousers' on the hawk in the 6th picture! The horse looked like a big boy and very chilled.

He looks like a stuffed toy.


This installation is part of the Kindergarten cycle that tackles the topic of the violation of children's rights, and is dedicated to children used as instruments of death in pseudo-religious terrorism. In the geometric forms of children's building blocks the ideal and the real become confused: play is no longer the natural dimension of childhood, but instead the rough and destructive land of adults' madness. Among the ruins of logic, the spasmodic images of blows landed by an unwitting child armed with a dagger strongly denounce the terrible violation of innocence, trampled in the name of senseless egoism.

I use this code but its not working. Given me File Location Null.
Here I select images and store in array then I upload image from array.
I am using .php url where i send my image.

A: You can use Alamofire to upload image to server only using URL
let imageData = UIPNGRepresentation(image)!

Alamofire.upload(imageData, to: "https://httpbin.org/post").responseJSON { response in
    debugPrint(response)
}

Feel free to suggest edits to make it better.

No plans for open-source. It's all static. The source won't be obfuscated and all images will be on the page. No plans for features, too. Maybe some sort of tagging-system would make sense. For now it's just about collecting lids. If you have an idea for a feature, I'm happy to hear it.


We already know a lot about Windows 8. We know it'll have a new, touch-focused interface and application framework for tablets and touchscreen PCs. We know it will still have a traditional desktop, with enhancements to Explorer (among other features). It will have versions that run natively on ARM-based CPUs in addition to the x86 architectures we're used to. It will integrate USB 3.0 support and cloud services.
1. How will the new Start Screen apps be built and distributed?
2. What new tools will make developers' lives easier?
An operating system is only as good as the software that runs on it. To that end, Microsoft needs to make easier, more powerful tools for developers. With Windows 8 support ARM architectures, developers will need an easy way to complie and optimize applications for both x86 and ARM processors. DirectX 11 is a couple years old now, and with perhaps another year before Windows 8's release, it may be time for Microsoft to start talking about its successor. With App Stores all the rage, users expect simpler install and uninstall capabilities as well as the assurance that their applications remain up to date. Will Windows 8 incorporate new feautres to make it easier for developers and publishers to meet these needs?
3. What new hardware will be supported?
Native support for ARM-based processors is a huge undertaking, and the built-in USB 3.0 stack is an important step forward, but what other new hardware will Windows 8 support out of the box? Modern tablets - a key target market for Windows 8 - support a wide array of sensors like accelerometers, cameras, proximity sensors, gyroscopes, GPS, and digital compasses. Will Windows 8 provide APIs to give developers easy access to all these things, or will a fragmented array of drivers and software interfaces have to suffice, as they do today? How about out-of-the-box Blu-ray support? How will Windows 8 enhance support for multiple displays or projectors?
4. What about the built-in apps and utilities?
Many of the built-in applications and utilities in Windows are due for a major overhaul. Windows Defender might as well be replaced with the superior Microsoft Security Essentials. Paint should be completely replaced. The built-in movie making software is similarly out-of-date. We know Internet Explorer 10 will be a part of Windows 8, but we've only seen some examples of how it expands support for HTML5 and boosts hardware acceleration over IE9. What will IE10's interface look like, and what new features will it bring? More advanced features like disk management could use some improvement, too.
5. What's in it for gamers?
We already know Windows 8's system requirements are supposed to be no higher than Windows 7's, but this promise of efficiency is not enough to satisfy the tens -- or hundreds -- of millions of Windows gamers out there. They want to know how Windows 8 will make their game-playing experience better, faster, and easier. Will Xbox Live be integrated as a first-class citizen, built right into the desktop?
6. What about the cloud?
Microsoft is said to be integrating cloud services with Windows 8, but we don't really know exactly what that means. Is it just built-in SkyDrive, or does the integration go deeper than that? There have been rumors that users can, by logging in with their Live account, store their entire desktop setup in the cloud and access it from other Windows 8 computers. If this is the case, it raises all sorts of questions about security and compatibility. Then there are the details: How much online storage to users get? What will the inevitable premium services be and what will they cost? Perhaps most importantly, what happens to users who want to opt out to all of Microsoft's cloud services – does this seriously compromise the operating system?
7. What do Windows 8 tablets and PCs look like?
We'll probably see some prototype tablets, ultrabooks, and concept PCs at the conference. Some will be less refined than the actual products that hit the market when Windows 8 goes on sale, others will never see the light of day. Either way, we hope to be impressed by a very forward-looking view of where the PC is going. Will an advanced ARM-based chip find its way into a thin-and-light laptop, or will ARM be found only on tablets?
8. What about the beta?
Will Microsoft release a beta of Windows 8 at the BUILD conference? If it doesn't, will we at least get a date for when the beta is to begin? Will it be as open and broadly accessible as the Windows 7 beta, or will access be limited?
Despite the flood of information we expect to get at the conference next week, there are three bits of data we don't expect to hear anything about: pricing, versions, and release date. As much as we want to know how many different versions of Windows 8 there will be (we're hoping fewer than Windows 7), how much they'll cost, and when we can buy it, it's probably far too early for Microsoft to start divulging those details.


Trainer Les Kelly is looking to the heavens to boost under-rated filly Dixyville's hopes of a Black-Type victory in the Princess Stakes at the Sunshine Coast on Saturday.
Dixyville, a Ryan Plumb mount, has drawn barrier nine in the 1600-metre Listed feature and will be chasing her fourth win from seven starts.
The daughter of Warhead is owned by prominent racing and breeding identity Les Cowell, who talked Kelly into returning to training in July, 2016 following a self-imposed 18-month exile.
Kelly, who trained his first winner in 1976, now has 30 horses in work at the Gold Coast.
Dixyville will be stepping up to 1600 metres for the first time but Kelly is confident she'll acquit herself well.
"What she has done to date is a bonus as this is still her first preparation and she'll come back better next campaign," Kelly said.
"I'm sure she'll run the trip as she gives every indication she will and she's bred to run a journey.
Dixyville is coming off a decisive four length win over rival Skate To Paris at the Gold Coast on March 31 which followed her failure in the QTIS Three-Year-Old Jewel at the same track two weeks earlier.
"Her last win over Skate To Paris was very good but it was on a heavy track which suited her," Kelly said.
Kelly is reluctant to talk about a winter carnival campaign should Dixyville win again.
"She grows another leg in the wet so I'm hoping for more rain with the track currently in the soft range," he said.
"She's going well and will run an honest race but I'm not getting carried away with her chances and the winter carnival.
Plumb has ridden Dixyville in all bar her first race start when Jim Orman was aboard when she finished ninth, less than three lengths away in a maiden at the Gold Coast in November last year.
"Ryan is a good rider and puts a lot of work into riding trackwork for me," Kelly said.


How long had he been sick for?
I had been telling people how lazy Andrew was because he often refused to walk. I had been hard on him telling him he couldn't have a piece of cake in the café unless he walked around the nature trail without me having to carry him. I was frustrated that all he wanted to do was sit and watch TV listlessly. I was annoyed that he wasn't settling into pre-school and was teary because this was finally time I had to myself.
Was I being a good enough parent to Clara?
Was I doing enough at work, in my new job?
Was I being a fun enough mummy for Andrew?
How much TV was too much?
Should I be going out and having fun with friends at the weekend when there is so much to do at home?
Was I being a good enough wife?
After the shock of diagnosis and instant splitting up of the family, Joseph and I didn't actually see each other to talk to, for more than 5 minutes, until almost a whole week later when both sets of parents were involved. We went to a pub and knowing that time was limited we couldn't think of a thing to say whilst knowing that there was so much to talk about. Being together was the important thing and trying to find some normal.
Guilty feelings would creep in the times (Joseph and Andrew were inpatient) my parents had to sleep overnight in our house so that I could go to work at 7am and leave Clara asleep in bed.
The times I would take Clara to school unable to tell her who would be picking her up.
The time, in the middle of an intense cycle of chemotherapy, when Clara had been complaining all day about her toe hurting. On removing the sock her stitches from a recent operation were infected and swollen.
The times in steroid week when I NEEDED to escape Andrew who just wanted to be cuddled, be held or stroke me. I felt claustrophobic.
The times I gave Andrew oral methotrexate on a Wednesday before a lumbar puncture (where methotrexate was injected into his spine) throwing everything off schedule.
The times we forgot to give Andrew his chemo at bedtime – would that mean he would relapse?
Every 14 minutes in the UK, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer or a related disorder. That's almost 38,000 people every year – 104 each day.
Blood cancer research is saving lives; today, two thirds of everyone diagnosed with blood cancer will still be with us in five years' time. When Bloodwise were founded in 1960, almost no-one survived for this long. Only 1 in 10 children with Leukaemia survived.
Why was Andrew one of the 9 in 10 who survive childhood Leukaemia nowadays?
To move beyond survivor guilt is to "look ahead and try to bring something good out of the experience".
In my book the word Guilt actually only appears 4 times, I found it hard to be honest and write down. The word Good appears 51 times. Despite the guilt I constantly looked for the good so I wanted the book to be a record of our success and positivity. For the next family in our position to get hope and strength for the long dark days ahead, knowing that someone else had already been there, felt guilty and moved on.


Air pollution like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides can cause respiratory diseases, or can make these diseases worse. Respiratory diseases like asthma or chronic bronchitis make it hard for people to breathe. The pollution that causes acid rain can also create tiny particles. When these particles get into people's lungs, they can cause health problems, or can make existing health problems worse. Also, nitrogen oxides cause ground-level ozone. This ground-level ozone causes respiratory problems, like pneumonia and bronchitis, and can even cause permanent lung damage. The health effects that people have to worry about are not caused by the acid rain, but are caused when people breathe in these tiny particles or ozone. Swimming in an acidic lake or walking in an acidic puddle is no more harmful to people than swimming or walking in clean water.
Acid rain can be extremely harmful to forests. Acid rain that seeps into the ground can dissolve nutrients, such as magnesium and calcium, that trees need to be healthy. Acid rain also causes aluminum to be released into the soil, which makes it difficult for trees to take up water. Trees that are located in mountainous regions at higher elevations, such as spruce or fir trees, are at greater risk because they are exposed to acidic clouds and fog, which contain greater amounts of acid than rain or snow. The acidic clouds and fog strip important nutrients from their leaves and needles. This loss of nutrients makes it easier for infections, insects, and cold weather to damage trees and forests.
Without pollution or acid rain, most lakes and streams would have a pH level near 6.5. Acid rain, however, has caused many lakes and streams in the northeast United States and certain other places to have much lower pH levels. In addition, aluminum that is released into the soil eventually ends up in lakes and streams. Unfortunately, this increase in acidity and aluminum levels can be deadly to aquatic wildlife, including phytoplankton, mayflies, rainbow trout, small mouth bass, frogs, spotted salamanders, crayfish, and other creatures that are part of the food web.
This problem can become much worse during heavy downpours of rain or when the snow begins to melt in the spring. These types of events are known as episodic acidification.
Acid rain can also have a damaging effect on many objects, including buildings, statues, monuments, and cars. The chemicals found in acid rain can cause paint to peel and stone statues to begin to appear old and worn down, which reduces their value and beauty.

Restless Bandit Makes Away With $10 Million Investment
Article Recruiting Tools Brandy Hagan October 25, 2016
San Francisco-based HR startup Restless Bandit announced during the first week of October that it had raised $10 Million in funding from GGV and Toba Capital. The HR software company uses data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning to go through a company's records and search for missed potential amongst past job applicants. By doing this, Restless Bandit ports to decrease job listing expenses, reduce time spent to fill a position, and potentially increase the quality of job candidates.
The $10 million is divided in to $8 million of Series A funding and $2 million in seed investments. Restless Bandit will use these funds to increase the size of the company's team and continue the operational costs of running its Talent Rediscovery platform and Resume Refresh offerings.
Through matching algorithms and date science, Restless Bandit's software sifts through previously under-utilized databases of archived resumes as new positions become available within a company. Rather than recruiters spend as much time creating job advertisements, Restless bandit suggest past applicants who previously made it past certain requirements set by HR representatives. After which, it sends an automatic invitation to those prospective employees, suggesting they apply for the new opening.
Restless Bandit CEO Steve Goodman
Restless Bandit CEO Steve Goodman began seeking a solution to "rediscovering talent" within a company in 2014. LinkedIn bought Goodman's former recruiting software startup, Bright for approximately $120 million. At that time, Bright was LinkedIn's largest acquisition.
After the sale, Goodman created a team of engineers, drawing talent from Google, LinkedIn and keeping some from Bright. Two years later they had created their current platform. In order to teach its software how to find the best talent solution they generated over 120 million descriptions of jobs a recruiter might post and 30 million resumes. In addition, their product also goes through data made public online and refreshes resumes previously marked as outdated already available to the company.
"After tens of thousands of hours of analysis, we've shown the best candidates are hiding in plain sight—and they are 14 times more likely to respond to a company's email than a cold recruiter message, because there's an existing relationship." Goodman told Fortune's Heather Clancy.
Restless Bandit designed its products for companies that have a workforce of 1,000. According to Business Wire, companies that already employee 5,000 or more people usually have 50,000 resumes saved in their recruitment databases. Going through such a high number of previous applicants every time a company has a new job opening would take an enormous amount of time for a recruiter. Restless Bandit also doesn't have any of the unconscious biases a human being might, which means it can assist in creating a more diverse workforce. This can help raise a company's reputation, adaptability, and productivity.
Glenn Solomon, Managing Partner at GGV Capital, intends to join the Restless Bandit Board of Directors as an Observer. In a recent press release Solomon said that "identifying and retaining talent is a top priority for companies in the Fortune 500 and mid-market. Restless Bandit has invented the category of Talent Rediscovery, re-engaging past candidates to find the best matches for open jobs."
"In our due diligence," Solomon continued, "we spoke to several Fortune 500 recruitment leaders and uniformly heard that Restless Bandit's Talent Rediscovery platform delivers unprecedented qualified candidate flow rapidly, utilizing existing profiles and obviating the need for expensive marketing campaigns. Restless Bandit's positive momentum with customers, industry leading technology and proven team all contribute to our excitement and we're very optimistic for the company's future."

GGV Capital was founded in 2000 as venture capital firm specifically designed as an investing team focusing on opportunities in both the United States and China. Between the 8 funds managed by the firm they have $3.8 billion and a portfolio that includes such companies as Pandora, Airbnb, Domo and many more.
The effective of Restless Bandit's services is dependent upon the quality of how job descriptions and resumes were originally written. Its algorithms were created to hone in on applicants who used particular words or phrases. In addition, it is incompatible with older applicant tracking programs which aren't available as cloud-based services.
At this time, Restless Bandit only provides its product in English. Existing cloud-based products it works well with include applicant tracking software like Workday Recruiting, SAP SuccessFactors, Jobvite, IBM Kenexa, iCIMS, and Oracle Taleo.
Restless Bandit has already attracted more than 15 early customers such as Cabot, a chemical specialist company, restaurant chains like Applebee's and IHOP, Four Season Hotels, media organization Gannett, and research company comScore. Their product could potentially be very useful to employers in the retail industry or others who often need to quickly hire a significant number people for lower level positions.
The cost of using Restless Bandit depends on the size of the company in question and the number of potential employees they already have stored in their existing databases. On average they charge around $25,000 a year.
According to the company's website, Restless Bandit's algorithm continues to get smarter by the regular addition of new job descriptions, potential employee profiles, and new data sources. Their goal is to consistently improve their ability to match candidate talent with job openings created by their customers. In an interview with TechCrunch Goodman mentioned that Restless Bandit has considered creating a front-end service focusing on job-seekers, instead of recruiters, in the future.

It's snowing, and it really feels like the start of a mini ice age – London Mayor Boris Johnson
Politics Snow snowfall Solar

From The Telegraph – By London Mayor Boris Johnson
"The Sun is god!" cried JMW Turner as he died, and plenty of other people have thought there was much in his analysis. The Aztecs agreed, and so did the pharaohs of Egypt. We are an arrogant lot these days, and we tend to underestimate the importance of our governor and creator.
As a species, we human beings have become so blind with conceit and self-love that we genuinely believe that the fate of the planet is in our hands — when the reality is that everything, or almost everything, depends on the behaviour and caprice of the gigantic thermonuclear fireball around which we revolve.
I remember snow that used to come and settle for just long enough for a single decent snowball fight before turning to slush; I don't remember winters like this. Two days ago I was cycling through Trafalgar Square and saw icicles on the traffic lights; and though I am sure plenty of readers will say I am just unobservant, I don't think I have seen that before. I am all for theories about climate change, and would not for a moment dispute the wisdom or good intentions of the vast majority of scientists.
But I am also an empiricist; and I observe that something appears to be up with our winter weather, and to call it "warming" is obviously to strain the language. I see from the BBC website that there are scientists who say that "global warming" is indeed the cause of the cold and snowy winters we seem to be having. A team of Americans and Chinese experts have postulated that the melting of the Arctic ice means that the whole North Atlantic is being chilled as the floes start to break off — like a Martini refrigerated by ice cubes.
I do not have the expertise to comment on the Martini theory; I merely observe that there are at least some other reputable scientists who say that it is complete tosh, or at least that there is no evidence to support it. We are expecting the snow and cold to go on for several days, and though London transport has coped very well so far, with few delays or cancellations, I can't help brooding on my own amateur meteorological observations. I wish I knew more about what is going on, and why. It is time to consult once again the learned astrophysicist, Piers Corbyn.
When the solar acne diminishes, it seems that the Earth gets colder. No one contests that when the planet palpably cooled from 1645 to 1715 — the Maunder minimum, which saw the freezing of the Thames — there was a diminution of solar activity. The same point is made about the so-called Dalton minimum, from 1790 to 1830. And it is the view of Piers Corbyn that we are now seeing exactly the same phenomenon today.
I am speaking only as a layman who observes that there is plenty of snow in our winters these days, and who wonders whether it might be time for government to start taking seriously the possibility — however remote — that Corbyn is right. If he is, that will have big implications for agriculture, tourism, transport, aviation policy and the economy as a whole. Of course it still seems a bit nuts to talk of the encroachment of a mini ice age.
But it doesn't seem as nuts as it did five years ago. I look at the snowy waste outside, and I have an open mind.
Not saying anything about the accuracy of the content of the article, but it is certainly interesting that it was written by London Mayor and eventual Prime Minister hopeful Boris Johnson. The Guardian certainly isn't amused.

It's good to see Boris thinking about this and open to views that aren't so warming. It's hard for any politician to take sides in an issue that is so contentious, but more seem to be tiptoeing around the edge to see if it's safe to wade deeper in and away from the Greenie so-called consensus. Good on him, I hope he makes PM.
William McClenney
Yes, a great many climate myopics could stand to visit their climoptometrist to extend their "vision". What seemingly few people seem to recognize is the occurrence of another "mini ice age" might not actually be long-sighted enough. The Holocene is now half-aprecessional cycle old and change. Five of the last 6 interglacials have each lasted about half a precession cycle.
The possibility therefore exists that we could be at a climate junction often described these days as a tipping-point. Tipping the Holocene into extending itself with GHGs is perceived as a horror by many. Naturally tipping the Holocene into the next ice age, however, might bring great benefit to society by selecting-out those with climate myopia as well as other intellectual ailments.
The Guardian is one of the last bastions of 'the science is settled'.
As science is NEVER settled, since it can never be proven, only disproven, one might ask if they understand the fundamental basis of science, which most certainly doesn't comprise of 'ask a few Professors what they think and spend 20 years promulgating their opinions as FACTS, without considering the cost implications of their expostulations, the link between scientist prosperity and scientist theory and the correlation between the simplicity of their theories and the complexity of the systems they study".
Let us be absolutely clear: those scientists on record as saying that solar and oceanic factors are overwhelmed by carbon dioxide must lose positions, funding and respect if they try to gain future funding misappropriating the long-held convictions of skeptics whose integrity they have impugned for many years.
They made their bed, now they must lie in it.
Their bed is the seventy two virgin version of climate science, with carbon dioxide the key driver of it.
Oceanic modulations is not their creed and nor are SSWs caused by CMEs, X-flares etc etc. Solar output is not important according to them after all.
If they try to say that they are, fire them!!!!

The minutia of CO2 and solar variation is apparently endlessly fascinating to many people who consider the elephant in the chair beside them boring stuff indeed.
It took the hide-bound Royal Navy40 years to adopt the (obviously useful) Beaufort Scale for determining the rigging of ships sails in gales of different strengths. But adopt it they eventually did. I truly hope Piers receives his due recognition before his tomb freezes over with a mile of ice.

You're lucky he just wrote in English – as a Torygraph columnist he generally regales us in Latin at some point. Perhaps "Sub sole nihil novi est" (there's nothing new under the sun) might have been apt, or "et sceleratis sol oritur" (the sun even shines on the wicked) :-')

Boris knows from Piers that Climate Alchemy has made a Big Mistake. It originated from Schwarzchild's 1906 paper used to justify the Aarhenius 'GHG blanket'. Houghton used this flawed thinking to claim you can have opposing streams of IR energy and that the heat from each is additive.
This breaches Maxwell's Equations, specifically Poynting's Theorem which states that the vectors can only add vectorially so the power of opposing wave fronts is subtractive not additive. Hansen et al picked up Houghton's work in 1981. The result of this is vastly exaggerated warming via the water cycle, the imaginary positive feedback.
So, we are now seeing the result of the natural experiment that proves Houghton and Hansen got it wrong. There is virtually no CO2-AGW, some warming from water vapour side bands only.

"It really feels like the start of a mini ice age."
I have no first hand knowledge of what the start of a mini ice age feels like. Brian Fagan has some interesting comments in his books, I would give more weight to his selection than to one of the new offerings.
Many of Fagan's finds pertain to rain and crop failures, e.g. from "The Little Ice Age:"
The Reverend Daniel Schaller, pastor of Stendal in the Prussian Alps, wrote: "There is no real constant sunshine, neither a steady winter nor summer; the earth's crops and produce do not ripen, are no longer as healthy as they were in bygone years. The fruitfulness of all creatures and of the world as a whole is receding; field and grounds have tired from bearing fruits and even become impoverished, thereby giving rise to the increases of prices and famine, as id heard in towns and villages from the whining and lamenting among the farmers."
It would take some effort to translate that into 21st century issues in a world where I can eat fresh asparagus every day of the year. Grey and raw seems to come through in many of the quotes Fagan found.
"The Guardian certainly isn't amused.
Q: How many leftists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: That's not funny!
I've got to say, as a life-long socialist, Boris Johnson is about the only hope the torys have of ever getting my vote. Buffoon? Maybe (on the face of it). Right wing? Naturally – what else would he be with his background!
But he's also far more intelligent than most others in British politics – he can at least string a coherent argument together to support his opinions without resorting to insults. He also appears to possess a social conscience, which is something that the best of the Right always had before that dreadful woman appeared with her mantra of everyone for themselves / Screw Thy Neighbour.
I suspect lot of others in the UK feel the same way so, if he starts muttering doubts, expect the muttering to get louder.
Whatever the merits of Boris Johnson's reflections, it is true what you say about the Guardian not being amused.
The Guardian is a left wing newspaper (nothing wrong with that) which prides itself on its website with a comment section called 'Comment is Free'. Whilst comment may be free, free speech certainly isn't as far the Guardian is concerned. In common with all left wing ideologues it cannot entertain differences of opinion. If you look at their comment section on 'Comment is Free' you will see that every commentator agrees with them. Wow – what perfection!
There are of course some mysterious entries which simply say
"This comment was removed by a moderator because it didn't abide by our community standards".
Which is to say, you agreed with Boris Johnson and not us – Not allowed!
Of course, it is always easy to give the impression of 'consensus' when all opposing views are deleted.

Excellent point. I don't believe they woud call it "Greenland" were it discovered today. Not so many sheep being raised there as a thousand or so years ago. Orbital eccentricity, obliquity, and precession all have something to say though none is extreme at present. But then again plenty of other potential causal variables in the mix, including solar variations. I'm betting upon a colder near term future, unfortunately for us in the northern climes. Warmer would, indeed, be better.
As the growing belt moves south, the Russians (& Chinese?)will be rattling their swords. The US should be able to trade food for oil, if we are allowed by our omnicient leaders to use it. Most Canadian crops grow within 300 miles of the US border. Depending upon the resultant effect upon precipitation patterns, other southern locations may become the bigger food producers, of course given geopolitical stability which is not apparent today in some of these places. It is all predestined to occur. It's all really only a matter of when.
For those in Europe who want to see climate change in action………………just look out your window. PS, remember when the lack of snow was blamed on global warming? Now this repeated event is also blamed on global warming. There is nothing co2 can't do.

"Flights scrapped as snow blankets Europe"
Climate science simplistically says the Earth is uniformly illuminated by the Solar radiation over the section of the globe in daytime – which is a disk area having the Earth's radius.
Climate science then says the Earth radiates to space over the whole area of its sphere which is four times the area of a disk.
If energy in equals energy out the only logical interpretation of these propositions is that the power of the Solar insolation is four times the power of the Earth's radiation to space – their own equations show this.
Climate science then pulls a stunt and calculates the "effective" temperature of the Earth
Solar radiation(1 – albedo) = sigma T^4 x 4 – this is the equation taught at many Universities –
and comes up with the result of 255 K using this equation.
Then Kiehl & Trenberth make the following illogical statement in their energy budget paper:
"Here we assume a "solar constant" of 1367 W /m2 (Hartmann 1994), and because the incoming solar radiation is one-quarter of this, that is, 342 W /m2, a planetary albedo of 31% is implied."
If the incoming solar radiation is one quarter of the "solar constant" how can anyone possibly re-create the original proposition about radiation balance at the top of the atmosphere ?
If energy in = energy out and both of these radiative fluxes have an associated temperature and these temperatures have to be related by the fourth root of the proportion of area of sphere to area of disk which is 1.41 – the fourth root of 4.
255 K x 1.41 is almost 360 K.
Plug 360 K into the Stefan-Boltzmann equation and the associated radiative flux is about 952 W/sq metre.
1367 W/sq metre x (1 – albedo) results in about 943 W/sq metre using 0.31 as albedo or 957 W/sq metre using 0.3 as albedo.
Averaging the solar insolation simply fails this simple mathematical analysis and is therefore meaningless for any purpose other than calculating the 255 K result. It has no further meaning.
If it did applying the reverse analysis must lead to the original proposition – mathematics is reliable like that – any correct procedure is reversible.
If "because the incoming solar radiation is one-quarter of this, that is, 342 W /m2" had any REAL meaning in the physics of climate science then DIVIDING the temperature associated with this radiative flux – 278 K – by 1.41 ( the fourth root of 4) ( ~197 K) should yield 255 K – obviously it doesn't.
What I assert truly represent REAL solar insolation – approximately 952 W /sq m and 360 K passes the reverse analysis – 360 divided by 1.41 is indeed 255 K.
If even a simple "back of the envelope" analysis cannot reproduce their original assertion through a simple reverse analysis ( I can using the correct figures) using their own figures then how can the immensely complicated computer models produce anything but random gibberish ?
I know the 342 is an "average" uniform insolation but if it has any REAL mathematical meaning it must comply with reverse analysis.
As it doesn't one must logically conclude the "average" method produces ONLY ONE meaningful result – the effective 255 K Earth radiating temperature.
It cannot be used to assert anything else !
After all 255 K is the temperature associated with THE EARTH'S RADIATION and NOT the SOLAR INSOLATION adjusted for albedo.
Quartering the solar constant is simply incorrect ! All the science from this point on is bogus.

Boris better get used to this weather. There is more coming for the next several decades like UK had in the period 1962-1987 and 1880- 1910 as the planet enters again a cooler phase for the next 20-30 years possibly . Some of us have been predicting this weather for Europe since 2009. When the sun cycle and the ocean SST cycle are both in sync and if both are declining and the Enso signal is in Neutral , the Arctic Oscillation is often negative , thus allowing colder Arctic upper atmosphere air to come south. AO is predicted to remain negative at least to early February so the near term cold may continue.
Joe, Maggie did NOT say screw thy neighbour. Yes, she did say, "there is no such thing as society" but nobody ever puts that quote into context.

There is living tapestry of men and women and people, and the beauty of that tapestry and the quality of our lives will depend upon how much each of us is prepared to take responsibility for ourselves and each of us prepared to turn round and help by our own efforts those who are unfortunate."
In short, another version of the golden rule.

LAST 12 MONTH TREND OF HADCRUT3 EXTENDED TO THE END OF 2017 0.350 C
OBSERVED HADCRUT 3GL TO THE END OF NOVEMBER 2012 0.417 C
It would appear that the trend of the latest forecasts is a significant lowering of the IPCC/ HANSON alarmists predictions.

Anything that upsets the loss-making Guardian is always good for a laugh. The comments are quite hilarious in their utter ignorance. Still, you don't read the Guardian to learn anything, just to get a job at the BBC and Met Office. It is embarrassing to see what are supposed to be top scientists knowing so little – or are they just playing along to keep the cash rolling in as they are all funded from the Global Warming scam.

The reason Boris Johnson is interesting is also the reason why he will never be the Prime Minister in the UK – he does not toe the party line. He was a 'rebel' when he was an MP and was pretty much forced to run for Mayor of London as a way to remove him from the back benches where he was too likely to say something not approved by the party leaders.
As to intelligence, he is probably no worse or better than most MPs – successful politicians only dumb in respect to saying nothing which has not been approved by their party.

ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/icecore/greenland/summit/gisp2/isotopes/gisp2_temp_accum_alley2000.txt
"Present" appears to be 1950, so latest data point should be around 1856.
Greenland has warmed since then by about 2 degrees, though 1 degree or so due to AMO effect which should be subtracted, as we are now on the top of the AMO cycle and ice core resolution does not resolve such short term peaks. UHI correction also not considered.

I love Boris, top chap! As he says he is an empiricist, see whats happening around you rather than look at computer models that tell you what should be happening.

For our American friends and other non-Londoners, here is an introduction to our glorious Lord Mayor and the unlikely future PM, Boris Johnson
(going back few years now)
We'll trade you a Johnson for an Obama. Promised to tackle "dangerous Climate Change" in his speech today. Also to make everyone safe, wealthy, etc…
Right wing Boris is a big fan of Piers Corbyn.
Now that seems unlikely but true.
Piers is an unreconstructed Bolshevik who finds Leningrad easier to say than St Petersburg.
However Piers has put his reputation on the line by coming up with a number of recent unlikely weather predictions that turned out to be accurate

Also, the Guardian's comment sections are patrolled by pit bulls who exert enormous energy to poison any rational discussion. I am not claiming that these pit bulls are Guardian employees but they do their best to protect, through whatever means, the opinions of Guardian employees.
Check out "Notrickszone." He has been following the disastrous cold eastern Europe, China, and Malaysia. Objective reports are that it is the worst in 50 years.
Boris Johnson is a breath of fresh air. He is a man with his own mind who expects others to have their own minds. He addresses others as if they have their own minds. I hope he can prevail.
James Abbott
So Boris looks out of the window and sees snow and then decides to write about a possible mini ice age. Priceless.
He cannot remember, apparently, snow like this before.
"By my calculations, this is now the fifth year in a row that we have had an unusual amount of snow; and by unusual I mean snow of a kind that I don't remember from my childhood: snow that comes one day, and then sticks around for a couple of days, followed by more."
So Boris you cannot remember the relentless snow and cold of the winter of 1978/9 in England (he was 14) ? You can't remember thick ice floes on the rivers that winter ?
You cannot remember the winter of 1981/2 when it was so cold in southern England that it killed non-hardy trees (-15C in Essex) ?
Nor the heavy snow in early 1987 with daytime temperatures well below freezing and 2 foot long icicles hanging off the gutters ?
Nor the winters in the 1990s when several times lakes froze over and villages in the south east were cut-off due to drifting snow with gale force easterly winds ?
Yes we have had a cold week or so, but thats totally normal in an English winter. Funny how Boris did not write an article about the fact that the spring bulbs were pushing through in the south east in the previous weeks. Here in Essex we had no frost at all for 21 straight nights to the 9th Jan.
Its both amazing and revealing that the sceptic world gets itself in such a lather when Boris looks out of his window and sees snow.
Its called weather.
"He also appears to possess a social conscience, which is something that the best of the Right always had before that dreadful woman appeared with her mantra of everyone for themselves / Screw Thy Neighbour."
Oh this old calumny again. Typical socialist miscasting of an opponent's real beliefs and motives. Thatcher's view, as a Grocer's daughter, who took a degree in Chemistry, and became Prime Minister of course, was that people should stand on their own two feet, live within their means, and not expect the state to owe them a living. It did not preclude helping those who for whatever reason cannot help themselves. But that only when you have made good are you in a position to help those less fortunate. Making your own way in life does not mean disregarding others.
The left could never beat her in argument so warped her views to that selfish, bitter and down-right nasty phraseology above so they could attack that.
As a life-long socialist he should know that someone somewhere has to earn some money before it can be appropriated and shared out. In fact, to adapt his elegant phraseology, Everyone help themselves to the money-tree/ Screw Thy Hard Working Neighbour is actually how the socialist creed pans out.

Has anyone looked at South Korea lately? As I recall, Korea usually has a cold dry air mass during the winter from Siberia — very cold and not much snow. My wife, who is Korean, keeps calling me over to the TV (we get Korean TV) every few days to show the snowstorms Korea is getting — she just showed me one they are getting now.

I wondered why Boris is Lord Mayor and wants to be prime minister! He is going to fix the fireball thingie!
Don't let him kid you folks. Boris wants power so that he can use it, not because it does not exist.
James Abbott says:
The interest generated by Boris' article had nothing to do with the one item that you fixed upon. You should read his entire article and give it some thought. Then you might write a post about what there is in Boris' article that interests others.
In addition, read some of the comments above. In those comments, you will find reasons that persons are interested in Boris' article.
I found it very interesting as a declaration of personal liberty. Boris has decided to use his own mind in evaluating the matter of a coming Little Ice Age and is telling the BBS and all lock step leftist propagandists to stick it where the sun does not shine. That is something very desirable in a politician. He might prove to be a reformer.
Regarding comments about eating asparagus every day and there not being an ice age because of food availablility. You only havbe to look at the rampant food pricec inflation because of the shortages that are now occuring. Crops failed last year with potatoes rotting in the ground farmers not being able to go on to their land to harvest wheat and other cereals. Yes you maw well be able to eat asparagus every day but how much are you now paying for it and how far ar you now havi8ng to go to buy it?
By the way anyone that falls for the buffon image Boris Johnson has nutured be ready for a surprise.

I have always been an admirer of Boris Johnson, he is one of those rare politicians who speak as they find, not as their poitical whims dictate. I read this column, this morning and thought that my admiration was not misplaced and I think that he will make an excellent PM!
The Guardian on the other hand berates him for writing this column and getting paid £5000 for his work. The Guardian is quite happy to advertise non-jobs for Labour Councils (Diversity Manager, Lesbian Outreach workers, to give two examples) paying tens of thousands of pounds per year. This together with their attitude of "The science is settled" shows their hypocrisy in its true colours!
Going back to the article, I think it was full of insight, he discussed it as a layman, which is the way many of us on WUWT debate this topic.
I wasn't actually thinking of that quote because I agree that it's mis-used far too often, although the last part hints at where my problem with her sits.
Think carefully about what she's saying, and about exactly which "unfortunates" are likely to benefit from all this wonderful voluntary help – will it be your neighbour who's just lost a packet in the city or the poor kid on a council estate who's excluded form all the extra-curricular stuff because it costs? I refuse to believe she was stupid enough not to realise that, especially seeing as so many of her policies over the years absolutely reinforced that situation. How to sound like you care while not really giving a damn.
Interesting to see that you spotted which "awful woman" I was referring to though 😉
The polar vortex has apparently split into two sections after the very recent sudden stratospheric warming event of mid January.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/01/16/1179397/-Sudden-Stratospheric-Warming-Split-the-Polar-Vortex-in-Two
Combine this with high pressure over Scandinavia, and the UK gets easterlies and snow.
The article claims 'This stratospheric warming is apparently the strongest ever observed in the first half of January according to the NOAA figure. No one knows why the number of major warmings is increasing but a correlation has been with positive sea surface temperature anomalies and the active phase of the solar cycle. This year the sun is active and there are large positive sea surface temperature anomalies in the north Indian ocean and the north-west Pacific.'.
So Robert is your Father's Brother (Bob's your uncle), as us Brits would say.
James Bull
I like Boris he seems to come across as a bumbling buffoon but he is a very clever man who is thinking way ahead and then trips over what is in front of him, he has come up with some far sighted ideas for London and will say what he is thinking which can get him into hot water from time to time.
I liked Curt says:joke very funny.

Yes, the reason for the recent arctic temperatures extending southward appears to be the break up of the Polar Vortex;
Note: This animation shows Earth's Winter 2008 – 09 Arctic Polar Vortex and a Sudden Stratospheric Warming, which occurs when the Polar Vortex splits or breaks-up: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIXfYTSmBg0&feature=related]
Resulting in a Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW):
Global – 10-hPa/mb Height Temperature Anomalies – Atmospheric Temperature Anomalies At Approximately 31,000 meters (101,700 feet)
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="578"]
NOAA – National Weather Service – Climate Prediction Center – Click the pic to view at source[/caption]
Northern Hemisphere – Vertical Cross Section of Geopotential Height Anomalies (Polar Vortex)
The Sudden Stratospheric Warming appears to be related to Eddy Heat, i.e.: "Strong negative fluxes indicate poleward flux of heat via eddies. Multiple strong poleward episodes will result in a smaller polar vortex, Sudden Stratospheric Warmings and an earlier transition from winter to summer circulations. Relatively small flux amplitudes will result in a more stable polar vortex and will extend the winter circulation well into the Spring"

"The Guardian is a left wing newspaper (nothing wrong with that) which prides itself on its website with a comment section called 'Comment is Free'. Whilst comment may be free, free speech certainly isn't as far the Guardian is concerned."
A university-based scientist of my acquaintance was informed last year that her blogs will no longer be permitted to appear. Her occasional blogs were always written on a subject where she is an expert (not climate-related) to correct, in very polite terms, erroneous claims and statistics by one or more of the Guardian journalists.
The NOAA animation at 10 hPa may be misleading, since at that latitude shows as if the SSW is triggered and rising from the Middle East., which I think may not be.
If you go to a much lower altitude at 50 hPa
http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/intraseasonal/temp50anim.gif
than you may notice that the SSW is actually connected with a prolonged link to the Kamchatka peninsula, where two or three volcanoes are currently active.
I have some more details here:

Justthefactswuwt,
Re the GISP2 data used to produce the charts: this appears to be derived from the data used for 'The Younger Dryas cold interval as viewed from central Greenland' (Alley, 2000) http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0277379199000621
If so then it should be made clear that the period marked '0' on the Climate4you chart at the top of your post ends around 1900. This is because the data (here: ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/icecore/greenland/summit/gisp2/isotopes/gisp2_temp_accum_alley2000.txt) start at 49 years 'before present', where 'present' is defined as 1950 (following convention).
Therefore the period marked 'Modern warm period' on the C4Y chart does not in fact include any of the warming observed over the 20th century and up to the present. As such, I fear the chart may be rather misleading for anyone unaware of this.
Dr. Lurtz
I am so tired of hearing about TSI and temperatures from 10,000 tears ago. The Earth's atmosphere filters and reflects [non-uniformly] energy from the Sun. This is why UV at the Earth's surface rises during a Sunspot Peak [UV from the Sun up x10]. What is the TRUE TSI? That is, what is the amount of energy, frequency weighted, that actually "is captured" by the Planet. It is NOT the amount of TSI !!!!!!!
From 1750 until 2000 the average number of Sunspots per year rose. The Earth warmed. Now the average number of Sunspots per year is declining, and there will be cooling.
It is very unfortunate that Government controls almost all research and development around the world. For example: Almost all Government funded research goes to Military. Apple purchased the company [funded by the Navy] that created Siri.
World government [IPCC] wanted warming; Government research give it to them. Now, how about real research into UV, etc., from the Sun.
If this post is an answer then what is the question? My question is serious and not an attempt at snark.
Jan P Perlwitz
Yeah, and it's -7 deg C in New York City, today. It's clearly evidence that the next ice age must be starting.
Fooled by noise.
The crowd here is likely to still announce "global cooling" as just being around the corner, even when the global surface temperature anomaly caused by the continuing increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gases has increased another 0.5 K compared to today.

Manfred says:
"…"Present" appears to be 1950, so latest data point should be around 1856. Greenland has warmed since then by about 2 degrees…"
Not to quibble with your data, I would point out that you are citing ice core proxy data not thermometer data. Working with your numbers I see temperatures ranging from -28 to -58 deg C. Add 2 degrees to -28 = -26 deg C. This is supposed to cause melting? Seriously???
Where l live our January temperatures are ranging between lows of -18 C and highs of -8 C. I can assure you that at -8 C the snow is still cold enough to squeak when you walk on it. Sorry, no melting
to be seen.
If Vukcevic is correct in attributing SSW events in the northern polar vortex to vulcanism, then it might be possible to look at the historic volcanic activity record, together with the onset of SSW's and see how good the correlations are…
Were these dreadful winters during the Maunder minimum etc solar based, or could they have been extended SSW type events due to collapses in the polar vortex due to vulcanism?
Well that second graph of the first slide, showing "Atmospheric CO2" from the EPICA dome C ice cores, is the only graph I've ever seen of recent (last 11,000 years) data that shows "Atmospheric CO2" ever going down.
The latest ML data, aside from the 6 ppm annual cyclic perturbation is monotonically upwards.
Well actually, that 11,000 years of data, strictly speaking is the EPICA Dome C ice cores CO2 ; NOT the atmospheric CO2 over those 11,000 years. And in the Antarctic, there isn't any 6 ppm annual cyclic perturbation; maybe about 1 ppm maybe, while in the Arctic, it is more like a 18-20 ppm annual cyclic perturbation.
Well whoopee, I do believe the range of that 11,000 year ice core CO2 data, is also about 18-20 ppm.
So where the heck is dome C ? Nah ! they wouldn't give us Arctic Temperatures, and Antarctic CO2 would they ?
Jan P Perlwitz says:
Are you talking about a real increase or an adjustment as just happened over the last few days when the highest monthly anomaly on GISS, namely January 2007, was raised from 0.89 to 0.93. Do you have a good explanation for that?
Should "Fooled by noise" be "Fooled by adjustments"?
Dr. Perlwitz
Some 6 months ago I presented you with this real 350 year long temperature record

I think the question could be inferred as why is the UK in a cold snap at the moment. Given that global temps are a couple tenths of a degrees celcius above the 30 year average at the moment,
UAH Lower Atmosphere Temperature Anomalies – 1979 to Present
University of Alabama – Huntsville (UAH) – Dr. Roy Spencer – Click the pic to view at source[/caption]
RSS Temperature Lower Troposphere (TLT) – Brightness Temperature Anomaly – 1979 to Present

it would seem unlikely that the UK cold snap is a result of global anything.

Funny, I am sure you will be the first in line to comment the next time the Guardian erroneously attributes a local heat wave to Global Warming…
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/damian-carrington-blog/2013/jan/08/australia-bush-fires-heatwave-temperature-scale
In fact a few months ago I had to point out to Bill McKibben;
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/11/30/another-inconvenient-truth-2012-us-tornado-count-well-below-normal/#comment-1161366
that one of his articles seemed "to be based on many anecdotes from small geographic regions, e.g.":
"North American summer actually started two days before the official end of winter this year, when the town of Winner, South Dakota turned in a 94-degree temperature reading" http://e360.yale.edu/feature/mckibben_summer_of_weather_extremes_signifies_new_climate_normal/2568/
Seems like noise fools lots of people…
I will announce whatever the facts are, as I have no vested interest in either side of this debate. What about you?…
The linear trend of the mean UK winter temperatures has been declining since 1989.. The 2012 mean winter temperature was 4.58C .The winters of 2009,2010,2011 were well below the long term average of about 4.59C. The hand writing has been there for 20 years that the winter temperatures were trending down.So it should not be a surprise if the snow now comes more often and it is colder more often. The cycle is pointing to cooler weather and various weather factors that caused the cooling before are again coming into prominence.
Thank you for answering my question. You are very kind.
Actually, I was thrown off kilter by the animation of the Arctic. I take it that you or someone is saying that the phenomenon in the Arctic explains the cold in Britain and the phenomenon is not related to global warming. If I have it roughly correct then you do not need to respond.
The figure at the top of this post is noteworthy in its own right. It gives the [snip . . site rules . . mod] some work to do.
The 4 recent highlighted warm spikes – the last being the current one – are interesting. Its almost as if they are "interglacials within an interglacial". When you see a structure inside a structure, both similar in form – the word "fractal" should spring to mind. Nonequilibrium chaotic pattern formation leaves fractal pattern as a signature. Think fern leaves – a small part looking the same as the whole.
The Holocene as a whole has a form suggesting that it is almost over.
Curious that CO2 has moved opposite to temperature – but lets leave it to our [snip . . site rules . . mod] friends to explain that one.

I lived in London during the WWII, when coal was rationed, and we burned wood. We froze, no central heating then. 1947 was one of the coldest on record, people blamed the atom bomb. I disappeared from 1960 to 1963 to the eastern Mediterranean and came back to London for another bad winter. The Thames froze near Windsor too. I moved to Lincolnshire, and never got out of my sheepskin coat all summer! Grapes were not grown but in large greenhouses like citrus fruit. Walking to school 1 and half miles one way, I'd arrived home in winter with numbed feet and hands, white. Snow was a regular event out of London, but the city was often not so afflicted but it was known but it did settle for more than a few days. The UHI affect of course. But smog, of course killed thousands. I remember leaving London for Liverpool in 1944 because of the VI & V2 bombing, and one Christmas we woke up on Christmas Eve to deep snow, it was delightful. Snow can be a problem, and I recall how Scotland suffered with deep snow drifts and people being cut off for days, livestock being fed from air drops etc., They should welcome the short warm period, because we are an ice planet and may experience more cold periods to come. We'll adapt. Or we will perish. Oh to English posters who are of the age, remember our school holidays started in July and ended at the beginning of September. The weather was lousy, raining etc., and after we came back to Term 1 the weather improved. And I remember a Welsh village got washed away by flood waters, and that dreadful slag heap collapsing on a school after heavy rain. Best of luck Boris.

No, Hackers Didn't Just Steal the 'Source Code' to AMD's Big Navi or Xbox Series X GPUs
RumorsXbox
Two days ago, we covered news from AMD that the company had suffered an IP breach. We now know more about what was taken from the company and how serious the theft is — or more appropriately, isn't.
At first glance, the news looks bad. The data in question is supposedly for Big Navi and Arden, the codename for the Xbox Series X GPU. Given how important both of these products are to AMD's future, theft of their underlying core technology would be quite damaging.
WCCFTech has published a story — corroborated by certain sources ExtremeTech has spoken to — arguing that this IP theft is, while serious by its very nature, didn't actually get the thief all that much. What was reportedly stolen were some Verilog files with information on how to implement a specific GPU function. If you don't know what Verilog is, it's a Hardware Description Language (HDL). You could say that a GPU or CPU is "written" in Verilog, and that's where all the statements about AMD having had a "source code" theft are coming from. It's not even clear the Verilog files could be useful to a third party; they're reportedly built on a proprietary schematic that's only compatible with AMD's internal design language in the first place.
The important takeaway is this: There's no way to build a product based on what was stolen and the data cannot be used to reverse engineer product performance. It might be possible to derive some high-level specification data from the full file list, but since most or all of this information is public, there's not a lot of reason to do so. There are no known security implications from the theft at this time, though there is a slim chance that there might be an exploitable bug in the functions that were stolen. This is more-or-less a given: While we haven't talked about security audits lately, auditing software (and Verilog is software) is an intensely time-consuming process.
We are watching the story as it develops, and obviously AMD has a very good reason to downplay the significance of what happened, but thus far everything points in the same direction: The idiot trying to extort $100M out of AMD doesn't realize that he's sitting on something worth much less money. Given how many people are currently sitting at home twiddling their thumbs, law enforcement would probably be glad to have something to do.
Even if it were possible for someone to buy this IP and build something off it, it wouldn't be a smart move. You can bet AMD would be keeping a sharp eye on the horizon for any company shipping a new consumer part with conspicuously crimson capabilities. While it might be fair to say the hacker took "some" source code for these GPU families, there's no evidence they got away with "the" source code in the manner required to reverse engineer confidential capabilities or improve a competitor product.

Editor's Note: At Inquisix, the networking is primarily for building your business. But sometimes you need to start your business or career again. Which is why when Inquisix member Debbie Boucher asked me if she could post about finding a job through networking on our blog, I agreed. After all, I referred her to one of her jobs.
Can networking help you get your next job? Absolutely! In this current economy, networking plays a critical role in landing your next job.
I've had firsthand experience in networking. Over the past 11 years, three of my last four jobs were due to networking based on people I've worked with or who referred me to colleagues.
I'm constantly networking. Case in point, I recently finished my kickboxing classes for the season (BTW, love it). I attended the classes for 12 weeks and ended up knowing everyone in the class as well as what they do for work and vice versa. I was able to get my niece to join the class and we talked about networking and how important it was (especially since she was out of a job). As a result of our discussion and through networking, she was able to get a job by one of the HR Managers who was taking the class as well. She is now a strong believer in networking; thus the reason for this blog posting.
Has "networking" ever helped you find a job?
Over 50% of respondents report that networking helped "every time" or "almost every time"
What was the nature of your connection?
Colleague (57%)  and Friend (43%)  were the top two connections in "getting the job".
Have anything you'd like to add? Then please post!

Just before the "Arab spring" dominos started falling in tunis, Mohammed Badi, "supreme guide" of the global Muslim Brotherhood, called for violent jihad against the united states.
Yes, yes, we know—on Planet Obama, the Brothers are oxy- moronic "moderate Islamists": members of a "largely secular" organization that seeks "change" through "dialogue" and the "political process," not violence . . . and never you mind its Palestinian branch, Hamas, or its chief jurist, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, whose notable fatwas have green-lighted suicide bombing in Israel and terror strikes against American troops in Iraq.
These are the fulminations of a committed enemy. Iran's Mah- moud Ahmadinejad could not have said it better. It is not Ahma- dinejad and the shiite mullahs but Badi who represents the avant-garde of Islamic supremacism, the dominant form of Islam in the overwhelmingly sunni Middle East. this Islam, as I relat- ed in these pages earlier this year ("'Islam Is Islam, and that's It,'" January 23), is what samuel Huntington aptly described as "a different civilization [from the West] whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture." the "Arab spring" is, in reali- ty, the Islamist ascendancy; the Middle East is not seized by a fer- vor for freedom, but is ripe for descent into sharia totalitarianism.

1. Preheat the oven to 200C (fan 180C), 400F, Gas Mark 6.
2. Unroll the pastry sheet and leaving it on its parchment wrapping paper, slide it onto a large baking sheet.
3. Using a plate or pan lid as a template, cut out two 7 inch circles from the pastry. Brush the boarder with a little egg yolk, ensuring it doesn't drip down the sides. Neaten the long side trimmings into strips and using a rolling pin, roll them a little longer so as to fit all around the edge of each tart. Place them on each one to stick. Score a pattern on this edging with a sharp knife and brush with egg yolk. Prick all over the inside of each disc with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, mix the mascarpone, Gruyere and shallot with the remaining egg yolks. Season lightly and set aside.
5. Slice the carrot and courgette into long, thin strips, using a mandolin, vegetable peeler, or a sharp knife. Toss in the oil and set aside.
6. Once crisp, lightly golden and puffed up, remove the pastry from the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 180C (fan 160C), 350F, Gas Mark 4. Flatten the pastry centres with the back of a spoon and divide the cheese mixture evenly between them, spreading it smooth.
7. Roll a strip of carrot into a tight circle and place in the center of the tart. Roll a courgette strip around this and continue wrapping alternative vegetable slices in concentric circles outwards, until the tart is full. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme. Bake 20-25 minutes.
8. Make the dressing by whisking the oil, vinegar, mustard and honey together in a large bowl until thickened. Season to taste. Toss the salad leaves in the dressing just before serving.
9. Once cooked, the pastry should be golden and the vegetables tender. Remove from the oven and slide onto serving boards or plates. Serve at once with the dressed salad.
Use basil or sun-dried tomato pesto in the base instead of mascarpone mixture if preferred.
