Book: As Paixões de Pessoa – By George Monteiro – Review
By Carolina Matos, Editor (*)
Launched in Lisbon, Portugal, the book As Paixões de Pessoa (Ática/Babel) is a selection of essays by George Monteiro, dedicated to the work of Fernando Pessoa. Translated into Portuguese by Margarida Vale de Gato, the essays appeared previously in English in various publications in the United States and abroad.
The author of many articles and books, Monteiro is a prominent American literature scholar, recognized for his work in the field of Portuguese and Brazilian letters, with a focus on border crossing inter-textualities concerning Anglo-American and Lusophone writers.
Monteiro has written extensively about Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935), a Portuguese poet and writer considered one of the greatest modernists in any language, and one of the world's most fascinating literary figures. A contemporary of André Gide, Ezra Pound, Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, Gertrude Stein, Anna Akhmatova, Rainer Maria Rilke, T.S. Eliot, and William B.Yeats, Pessoa wrote in Portuguese and English under a number of heteronyms – imaginary literary alter egos – with individual identities complete with distinct biographies, occupations, lifestyles and dissimilar literary tastes and styles.
Monteiro begins As Paixões de Pessoa by discussing Pessoa as a public figure with literary aspirations. He discusses how and when, without much success, Pessoa introduced his most notable heteronyms Alberto Carneiro, Álvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis, to the Portuguese literary scene, and how he failed many attempts to publish his English poetry abroad.
In prior writings, Monteiro has traced Pessoa's influence on a wide range of contemporary English language writers, including Joyce Carol Oates, Allen Ginsberg, John Wain, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and earlier twentieth century poets such as Thomas Merton, Edouard Roditi, and Roy Campbel. Monteiro has also established how Pessoa's own work was influenced by his readings of numerous British and American authors.
In As Paixões de Pessoa, Monteiro offers the Portuguese reader an overview of how in his formative years, Pessoa was greatly affected by the works of earlier British classical authors such as Edmond Spencer, Sir Philip Sidney, Sir Francis Bacon, John Milton, John Dryden and, above all, William Shakespeare, a poet young Pessoa hoped to emulate. Monteiro dedicates a chapter to an in-depth discussion of Pessoa's affinities and indebtedness to Shakespeare, demonstrating how Shakespeare left a pervasive underlying influence in Pessoa's heteronymic development.
Monteiro reiterates that nineteen-century British writers Thomas Gray, John Keats, Lord Byron, Robert Browning, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Alice Meynell, and Caroline Norton, have contributed to Pessoa's development as a writer. According to Monteiro, William Wordsworth, John Ruskin, and Robert Browning were particularly relevant in shaping Pessoa's thinking about poetry. Monteiro also associates Pessoa with earlier nineteen-century English lyricist Arthur Hugh Clough and later nineteen-century English decadent poet and novelist Ernest Dowson.
In As Paixões de Pessoa Monteiro reveals to the Portuguese reader how Pessoa was influenced to a great extent by a number of nineteen-century American writers, namely Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Walt Whitman, a poet Pessoa greatly admired and often referred to as "mestre" [master]. For example, Pessoa translated "The Raven" and a number of other of Poe's poems into Portuguese and, as Monteiro claims, Pessoa not only emulated Poe's style, but he schooled himself in Poe's analytical poetics. Monteiro writes, "Indeed, it can be safely said that Poe was one of those literary influences that manifested itself in Pessoa's poetry and prose as well as in his remarkable two-time courtship and two-time dismissal of Ophélia Queiroz – this last, a doomed love story." In fact, Poe's essay, "The Philosophy of Composition," served Pessoa, "not primarily as a source of metaphors, images, single words and phrases but in the deeper ways of thematic and structural indebtedness or influence. I shall also hint at the strange way in which Pessoa, as lover, emulated Poe's life in aspect and detail," Monteiro writes.
Throughout As Paixões de Pessoa, Monteiro scrutinizes in-depth the complexity of Pessoa's sexual proclivities and how Pessoa sublimated his sexuality into erotic poetry. In that regard, Monteiro offers the Portuguese reader a comprehensive analysis concerning Pessoa's sexual ambivalence and hawkwardness towards affection. After examining how José Régio, Adolfo Casais Monteiro and João Gaspar Simões, the editors of the literary journal Presença, discussed, defined and promoted Pessoa, Monteiro closes with his own reflections about the complexities of studying Pessoa and the challenges he has faced translating his poetry.
Born on June 13, 1888, Fernando Pessoa died at age 47, leaving behind only one published book – Mensagem (1942) – and some 25,000 unpublished text and fragments. Lying in his death bed, unaware of the effect his work would have, Pessoa's wrote in English his last words: "I know not what tomorrow will bring." One of the world's most researched and translated literary figures of the 20th century, Pessoa remains a mystery and perhaps one of the least understood masters of literature. Monteiro's As Paixões de Pessoa offers the Portuguese reader the magnitude and diversity of Pessoa's work from a cross cultural perspective, across boundaries, with writers of the English language.
The book offers an extensive bibliography and numerous facsimiles of Pessoa's original manuscripts and rare illustrations.

Q: Match text if it doesn't contain a certain substring
Possible Duplicate:
Regex / Preg: No match, if found

I want to use preg_replace to replace some string if something in the string is NOT there. That is, if the substring is there, the string won't be matched.
For example, if the string contains .png, it won't find/match it.
example.com/image.png

Here, it will not find it because the string contains the line/substring .png.
example.com/image

Here, it will find it, because the string does not contain the line/substring .png anywhere.

For those who still does not get me.
$result = preg_replace("#http://(.*\S)[Something here that will not match the link if it finds the .png at last]#","\\1","Here is a link that should work http://example.com/; Here is a link that should NOT work http://example.com/image.png")

A: OK, I'm going out on a limb here.
First, you need a regex that'll find a URL for you. Since you apparently want to find lots of invalid URLs, too, we'll take a regex that simply considers any string of consecutive non-space character that contains a sequence <letter>.<letter>:
\b(?=\S*[a-z]\.[a-z])\S+(?=\s|$)

Then we can check that this sequence doesn't end in .png:
\b(?=\S*[a-z]\.[a-z])\S+(?=\s|$)(?<!\.png)

Now you can use that for a replace operation, for example
$result = preg_replace(
    '/\b           # Start at a word boundary
    (?=            # Assert that it\'s possible to match...
     \S*           # any number of non-whitespace characters
     [a-z]\.[a-z]  # followed by an ASCII letter, a dot, a letter
    )              # End of lookahead assertion
    \S+            # Match one or more non-whitespace characters
    (?=\s|$)       # until the next whitespace or end of string
    (?<!\.png)     # unless that match ends in .png/ix',
    '\0', $subject);

A: This would be how I would approach the problem, it's rather tricky to get a "not" RegExp working - as it isn't really what the system was designed for. So instead seperate the logic up so that you have two RegExps... one searching for the link-like structure and then one checking for the cases you want to avoid:
function replaceWithLink ( $find ) {
  list($link) = $find;
  if ( preg_match('/\.(png|gif|image)$/', $link) ) {
    return $link;
  }
  else {
    return ''.$link.'';
  }
}

$text = 'This is my test string that contains a url.like/thing but '.
        'it also contains another url.like/thing/that-has-an.image '.
        'should they all be highlighted?';

$expr = '#[a-z0-9:_\-\.]+/[a-z0-9_\-\./]+#i';
$func = 'replaceWithLink';

$text = preg_replace_callback($expr, $func, $text);

The above is more readable than having one overly complicated RegExp, and is easily extendable to handle more extensions. Obviously in order to get this to work properly with URLs you may need to tweak the RegExp that is searching for them - I've just thrown one together rather quickly. In my version the URLs have to contain URL-like text, followed by /, followed by URL-like text possibly with slash in order to qualify.

A: How about this:
$yourInputString = 'whatever';
$matchPattern = '/^.*?(?<!\.png)$/i';
$replacePattern = '$0.png';
$result = preg_replace($matchPattern, $replacePattern, $yourInputString);

Note that your input string will need to contain only the link you are processing, e.g.:
example.com/image.png

or
example.com/image

Here's the explanation of the pattern:
# ^.*?(?<!\.png)$
#
# Options: case insensitive
#
# Assert position at the beginning of a line (at beginning of the string or after a line break character) «^»
# Match any single character that is not a line break character «.*?»
#    Between zero and unlimited times, as few times as possible, expanding as needed (lazy) «*?»
# Assert that it is impossible to match the regex below with the match ending at this position (negative lookbehind) «(?<!\.png)»
#    Match the character "." literally «\.»
#    Match the characters "png" literally «png»
# Assert position at the end of a line (at the end of the string or before a line break character) «$»

A team of researchers has suggested a set of breathing techniques to help athletes overcome vocal cord dysfunction and improve performance during high-intensity exercise.
The findings indicated that vocal cord dysfunction, also referred to as exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO), have been shown to improve for athletes after being trained to use the new techniques.
The use of real-time video data from a continuous laryngoscopy allowed the researchers to design a series of three breathing techniques that help athletes open their obstructed airways during high-intensity exercise.
Tongue Variant- The "tongue variant" involves breathing evenly between the nose and mouth.
Tooth Variant- The "tooth variant" requires patients to generate high inhaling resistance by forcibly taking air in through their teeth, then quickly opening their mouth allowing air to flow freely.
Lip Variant-The third variant is the "lip variant" in which air is initially inhaled through pursed lips and then the mouth is abruptly opened, dropping resistance and allowing air to rush through the mouth.
Each of the breathing techniques described in the research focus on precisely and intentionally changing airflow during the inhalation part of breathing.
"These new breathing techniques could represent a breakthrough for athletes seeking help with breathing during training and competition," said senior author J. Tod Olin from National Jewish Health in Denver in the U.S.
EILO is characterised by involuntary and inappropriate closure of the upper airway during high-intensity exercise.
EILO causes shortness-of-breath during exercise and reduces exercise performance and can negatively affect an athlete's ability to exercise and perform.
An episode of EILO can be noisy and terrifying to patients and observers of episodes.
It is diagnosed by observing the upper airway with a flexible camera inserted in the airway during an episode.
The new breathing techniques, now named the Olin Exercise-Induced Laryngeal Obstruction Biphasic Inspiration Techniques (EILOBI), were developed and introduced by Dr. Olin, and are the subject of the research.
Nearly all of the subjects had received some form of respiratory retraining before learning one or more of the Olin EILOBI techniques.
The findings indicated that two-thirds of the participants reported the techniques were effective in treating symptoms, while 79 per cent confirmed they can be implemented during a variety of sporting activities.

A GOD OF WAR SEEKING RESTORATION.
AN UNWILLING SACRIFICIAL BRIDE.
BETRAYAL THAT COULD DESTROY THEM BOTH.
"Every fiber of my being is woven from the rage of mortals."
Theodric, the young God of War, has a talent for inciting conflict and bloodshed. After being stripped of his powers by his older brother, King of Gods, he sets out to instigate a mortal war to prove himself worthy of being restored to power.
"I loved Kisk once; it was my home… But that was before. This is now."
Sixteen-year-old Cassia, like many in the modern era, believes gods and goddesses to be just a myth. Enemy to her country and an orphan of the war, she has no time for fairy tales. That's until religious zealots from Theo's sect offer her up as a sacrifice.
Can Cassia and Theo end the mortal war and return balance to the earth and heavens? Or, will their game of fate lead down a path of destruction, betrayal, and romance neither of them saw coming?

Gr 8 Up–Mortal Cassia and god of war Theodric take turns telling their story as a loose tribute to "Beauty and the Beast." As Cassia's homeland is besieged by war and she is left without a family, Theodric struggles with the challenges of being rendered powerless by his brother. When a group of devoted followers kidnap Cassia and sacrifice her to the god of war, Cassia finds herself on the other side of life. She learns if she and Theodric "consummate" their relationship, he will owe her peace in her homeland. But there may be something else she wants, and she's willing to play the game to get it. Meanwhile, Theodric faces power struggles among his siblings—gods of other concepts, including death. Although without a strong sense of place or time, this novel, with a political plot woven with romance, will engage fans of the postapocalyptic and fantasy genres. Theodric differs from typical male love interests; he's more emotionally aware, if easily angered, than the usual brooding loner. While Cassia is somewhat less defined aside from her love of scavenger hunts and general feistiness, the chemistry between the pair is undeniable. This is an admirable debut with well-developed relationships in an uncertain setting and lots of romance to go around. VERDICT Fans of Cassandra Clare's City of Bones and Holly Black's Tithe will enjoy; purchase where reimaginings and urban fantasy are popular. – Abby Hargreaves, D.C. Public Library
This fast-paced novel hit all my happy spots: a strong, witty protagonist; romance; mythology; family drama; love and sacrifice. And to top it all off, beautiful writing by Amber Duell. If you're looking for your next read, something you won't be able to put down, you won't be disappointed with this book. Highly recommended.

"A story full of romance, betrayal, and chaos is sure to attract those teens that enjoyed Percy Jackson but are ready for something more mature" – Jenny Yergin, Goodreads Reviewer
"Filled with folklore, violence, epic battles, and tons of drama, Fragile Chaos is a gripping thrill ride" – Jordan, YA Book Madness

I really enjoyed this book. If you love mythological themed books then this would be a book for you. I absolutely loved the story line. I wish they would have been more in depth with Cassia's character, but other than that it was very good. I will also be looking to purchase for our library, so our patrons can enjoy it also.
Bryn C, Educator
In a world torn apart by war, one young woman learns that the gods are as real as she is...and they hold all the power.
16 year old Cassia's world has been torn apart - her brother was hanged for treason and her parents were killed in a bomb attack, both part of a war that has destroyed her home country of Kisk. When she unwittingly becomes a sacrifice to gods she doesn't believe in, she learns far more about this war than she ever dreamed of.
Theodric, the God of War, is intent on proving himself to his siblings after being stripped of most of his powers by his older brother. Young, with a big chip on his shoulder, he approachs war in the human world with little compassion, manipulating it primarily to prove his own abilities. When he meets Cassia, however, chinks begin to show in his armor, revealing a more tender hearted soul than he would like to let on. The longer he spends with Cassia, the more he begins to question his role in the war and in his family's complex dynamic.
It took me a little while to get in to this book but once I did, I was hooked. The development of a fictitious mythology was solidly done and I kept having to remind myself that I wasn't, in fact, reading about Greek or Roman gods (the jeans and t-shirts that Theo wears helped me out there!). Theo and Cassia are both complex, believable characters and the supporting cast is just the right size to be well- developed as well (I particularly enjoyed Goran's wry older-brother attitude). Cassia is a strong female lead with suspicion and sass in spades and Theo's prove himself at all costs attitude is a good foil for what is to come as the novel progresses. Amber Due has created a fascinating, complex world that mimics ancient mythology while remaining fresh and vibrant. With ample room to explore other storylines, I look forward to reading more about the gods and goddesses that rule over Kisk, Volkana and Asgya.
A great choice for YA fantasy and mythology lovers. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

What you say, you believe.
Maybe not at first. But if you repeat it enough, you will. Studies have shown that what is repeated becomes familiar. And what becomes familiar can take over our rational thought becoming our belief... our 'go-to' mode.
Which is why memorizing scripture is such a great idea. Because in order to do it, we need to repeat the verse over and over until it's stuck in our brain. Then our brain can tell our heart what to believe. And that's how God renews our mind... reforms us and revives us so that we are no longer part of this world.
Go ahead, say it. No, I mean out loud. Say it. Don't worry if someone else is around. Say it so they can hear it too. Maybe God planned that they should. Maybe they need to hear it. But mostly WE do... in order to retrain our thoughts.
And look what happens as a result of this. God becomes our dwelling place, our home, our refuge... our stronghold and fortress. He promises that no harm will overtake us. He assures that no disaster will even come near.
I don't know about you, but I'm going to open my mouth today. I'm going to speak it out loud today. I'm in need of protection and help. My family is in need of angels to lift them up. We've got some stubbed toes that need healing. We've tripped over too many things lately because we haven't opened our lips to forth these powerful words.
You do it all the time. You speak. You use your voice for all sorts of stuff... ordering at a fastfood window, answering the phone to a telemarketer, complaining about a traffic jam or the red light that takes too long. Why not use it today... to bring the power and protection of God into your day... into your life and that of your family!

Hey guys, I'm cloning a 250GB SSD to a new 500GB SSD. I am using Macrium Reflect which is supposed to do that easily for me but I am not sure about partitions: should I use the default "copy selected partitions" action while cloning? What about the unused space on the new SSD? Doesn't it need to be partitioned too before I can use it?
After clicking and dragging the existing partitions to the new drive, the program shows a grey block of unused space but doesn't let me do anything with it. I'd like to make sure I don't mess up the new drive before starting the procedure.
OK I found the option that allowed me to increase the partition size and completed the procedure. But Windows only sees the new drive as a 250GB one.
Should I start again and format the new drive as NTFS 500GB first?
"What about the unused space on the new SSD? Doesn't it need to be partitioned too before I can use it?"
Yes, it needs to be formatted as an NTFS partition, so starting again as you suggest might be the best solution.
I actually didn't extend the correct partition the first time. Upon repeating the process with the correct partition it finally worked. Thanks.

There Is No Teenage Love – There Is No Teenage Love (ambient/ drone)
Oli November 12, 2012 November 12, 2012 Music, Recorded music
self released, 2012, CD & DD album, 49m 46s
$10 DD $12 CD
http://thereisnoteenagelove.bandcamp.com/album/there-is-no-teenage-love
http://www.thereisnoteenagelove.com
This album is enigmatic from the start, or even earlier in fact. Who is this skinny, elfin featured, uncomfortably hunched girl with smoke in her mouth and a triangle drawn on her sternum? What do they mean by saying 'there is no teenage love'? As a statement, it is true in some senses, and untrue in many others, depending on your own valuation of its terms. When the music begins, it is entirely unclear what it's going to mean; several minutes into the first tune we are still wondering what's going to happen, what we should be feeling, when the threads are going to come together into an audible utterance, when the tension is going to unravel and release us. Around the fourth minute meaningful sequences of harmonic material begin to emerge like currents in liquid, but we are a way further in before anything that resembles a moment of arrival can be heard, and that is no more than the briefest of visits before 'White Flag' continues on its ambiguous way.
There Is No Teenage Love continue being enigmatic on their website. They do offer a description of their music that gives more or less the right impression, but they don't tell us much about themselves or their working procedures. Erik Tokle is a guitarist with a history of making ambient and drone noises, with a great deal of sonic complexity and creativity; he has an album out on Auraltone which I reviewed here; David J Dowling, his collaborator for this project, I know nothing about. There are good reasons for this sense of mystery; this is not the sort of music that hangs itself off the (real or fictional) biography of its authors, and I don't believe there is any deliberate pursuit of obscurity involved, just a reluctance to offer false narrative explications that might distract listeners from attending directly to the sound itself. Because that is what this music is about, most of all; just as much modern dance abandons traditional dramatic narrative in favour of a concern with its practitioners' bodies and the materiality of their movement, There Is No Teenage Love is primarily an expression of its own aural substance.
I can't be certain, since the timbres are as enigmatic as everything else, but I would imagine these sounds are mostly, if not all, made by guitars. In a lot of cases they are unmistakeable, but even the most diffuse and continuous of the harmonic washes employed here could easily have electric guitars as their sources, given the wide range of processing options available to musicians today. Some of the pieces are rhythmically formless, and others tread steadily forward on rhythmic increments, for example 'Four Ghost's slowly arpeggiated chords, or 'Old Ghosts' glitchy percussion; broad, atmospheric textures are adorned by twinkling, upper-register ornaments, or allowed to find their own way into the listener's brain; some sounds are conventionally musical, while others resemble environmental noises, chattering like rainforest birds, or dripping like water in a cave.
The elements of the music are arranged into coherent, and generally consonant entities; although the organising logic of song structure, or other musical narratives, is absent, There Is No Teenage Love is not a chaos of randomly assembled sounds, but a sequence of carefully crafted soundscapes. Although there is virtually no sense of harmonic progression within each piece, it's still easy enough to imagine a mid-tempo rock rhythm section supporting it; this is the second band I've reviewed recently (the other being Helicopter Quartet) to use the term 'post-everything' in their publicity materials, and in both cases it seems to imply a post-rock practice extended to (or beyond) its logical conclusion. These textures are a soundtrack to unknowable subjective dramas, the atmospheres of some resonant aspects of twenty-first century experience, and they conclude post-rock's project to re-value atmosphere by abandoning everything else, finding their way back around to ambient music almost by the back door.
Much ambient music resists a conventional musical parsing of its harmonic content, or at best rewards such listening with cold and unsettling feelings. There Is No Teenage Love rarely allow a note of tension to persist for more than a few seconds before it is re-absorbed into the music's enveloping consonance. This is not to say that the music is devoid of challenge, but that its primary mission seems to be to offer the listener a place, to bring them trusting into the space where its textures will do their work; and challenging the listener is certainly not a central aim of this work. To simply float off and absorb the shifting affective eddies of the sound is to do it justice as a listener, but those eddies would sound trite if they didn't contain more than simple affirmation. This is not an era where human subjects can exist satisfactorily without asking questions, and the ambiguities at the core of this music are precisely what make it so accessible and absorbing.
There is a certain humanity and warmth to There Is No Teenage Love, which derives as much as anything from the clear traces of performance that permeate it. This is music played by human musicians, and although it avoids any obvious discursive, linear tokens of self-expression, it still sounds like the work of human hands and hearts. There is care and effort in every moment, an understanding of physical instrumental resources without which this music could be nothing like as nuanced and precisely judged. As it is, there is a fine emotional balance established early on, and consistently maintained; it's a calm album, made for calm listening, but it's always clearly that calm that lies between moments of intensity, not the anaesthetic calm of the alienated or disconnected. It sounds as though it could slip to either side at any moment, into grief or into joy, but the musicians maintain their equilibrium throughout with the discipline and strength of tightrope walkers. That point between is the location of a potential which is somehow far more beautiful than the chest-beating moment of emotional actuation that it promises, and it depends entirely on the music's ambiguity for its power.

Unlock designs customers will love with Glitter Flake.
Valentine's Day is right around the corner, meaning hearts, flowers, and depictions of Cupid, bow and arrow in hand, are everywhere. For many of us, this evokes childhood memories of passing out Valentines to our classmates. Of course, the classmate we had the crush on would get something special, like Batman chasing down the Joker with the line, "No joking – be mine!" Because, I mean, how awesome is that? The kid we didn't like so much always got Aquaman or Plastic Man or some other second-tier hero. At least that's how I operated….
But anyway, there's no reason that tradition can't continue today with Valentine's Day T-shirts. Whether your customer wants to surprise friends with shirts showing how much they care or you're looking to do something nice for your employees, there are plenty of special effect heat transfer materials to make unforgettable Valentine shirts.
CAD-CUT® Glitter Flake™, for example, adds a dash of flair to designs with its textured glitter finish. A cute little bee made using a trapping technique to combine Black and Yellow Gold Glitter Flake with the phrase, "Bee Mine" is sure to generate a lot of buzz. Also keep in mind that Pink Glitter Flake becomes iridescent when applied to dark-colored garments, leading to even more design options.
Or how about a Gloss bird with the label, "Tweetheart?" Perhaps flames in Metallic Orange Fashion-FILM® Metallic II around the words, "Hot Stuff." Or get clever with "We make a great pear" T-shirts with pears cut from Sour Apple Fashion-FILM® Electric.
Even Pre-Cut Letters and Numbers can get in on the action! "Number 1 Valentine" in Red Thermo-FLOCK®, anyone?
The point is there are a lot of options for making Valentine's Day T-shirts. All you need are CAD-CUT® heat transfer materials, a vinyl cutter, a heat press, and some terrible puns!
So this Valentine's Day, create eye-catching designs with CAD-CUT special effect materials.


Reviews.legal lists lawyers by location › let former and present clients review lawyers › create a network of honest lawyers › and most importantly, keeps everything [free] and transparent.
We are free. Lawyers do not pay us for listing. We do not charge visitors (prospective clients of lawyers) to provide them contact details of lawyers.
We have mentioned contact details as provided by lawyers. Unlike other websites, we do not hide their contact details.
Visitors are free to contact any lawyer of their own choice. We do not refer or recommend any particular lawyer.
How we help visitors and clients?
We are a case based review platform. Clients review lawyers on the basis of pending and decided cases. Since all reviews are based on decided or pending cases or on basis of consultation, they are 100% genuine. Further, all reviews are manually reviewed by us before publishing them online.
From so many lawyers, visitors and prospective clients can choose a lawyer on the basis of reviews left by former clients. This helps a person select a competent and honest lawyer thereby increasing the chances of success in resolving their legal issues.
We provide a free platform where clients review lawyers. This way, clients help lawyers in their professional growth.
Advocacy is a noble profession in which success depends on recommendations of friends, relatives, former and present clients – it is called word of mouth. We allow clients (not friends or relatives) to review lawyers which creates an online recommendation for lawyers and helps society in return. We achieve this by manually verified case based reviews.
We do not approve any review which is not based on a case details or a consultation given by a lawyer. So a lawyer providing better services will have more positive reviews. This helps honest lawyers who have successfully represented their clients in past to have more reviews than others. This creates more awareness about them.
Since we have not been paid by any person (lawyer or client or visitor) in any way whatsoever, any lawyer profile in reviews.legal does not fall under definition of advertising in any possible way.
The entire content is client-generated. Lawyers do not generate any content on reviews.legal, except to provide us with required information like contact details, practice areas etc. Only clients write about lawyers.
Choose a lawyer who gives honest legal advice and not a lawyer who is more about looks.
A good lawyer has court craft, honesty and in-depth knowledge of law. Merely big offices, ancestral lawyers (having generations of lawyers), having large staff and interns do not make a good lawyer.
White hair and long beard may influence you to believe that a lawyer has long standing. But remember, you are looking for a lawyer, not a yoga or spiritual guru.
How are we better than other websites?
We are different from other websites which are paid by lawyers or law firms to show their profiles on top. Further, their reviews are unverified. We are free and driven by "you" – the client.
While other websites hide lawyer details like addresses, contacts till you pay them, we do not hide anything or charge anything. 90% lawyers provide free consultation, but when you hire legal services through these websites, these websites take away entire consultation fee and lawyers give you free consultation.
We do not take any cut or commission from fee paid by clients to lawyers. When we say we are free, then free means free.
How are we better than Google Reviews?
Google provides a platform for businesses to list themselves on Google Maps and clients can review those lawyers. We are way ahead of Google Reviews.
Searching a lawyer is different from searching a hotel to have dinner. Litigation and legal work is extremely serious in nature and the consequences of the same may make or destroy your life depending on the results. Google may help you find a better hotel but it cannot help you find a good lawyer.
If you are searching for a lawyer, you may see several good or bad Google Reviews for a particular lawyer. You may not realize that a good review mentioning only "thank you" or "best lawyer" might be given by a friend or relative and that a bad review without any case details might be by another person who is not a client (like a competitor).
Reviews.legal provides authentic case-based reviews. The moment a review is made on reviews.legal, we manually check the case details and and after going through a system of checks, we finally approve a review. A reviewer has option to keep his case details private which means we only have case details on the basis of which we verify a review.
Why should you not hire a lawyer who is not listed with us?
You cannot be sure whether a lawyer you want to hire has successfully contested in the past cases of same type as your own case.
You do not know how a lawyer you want to hire treats his clients. Does he charge fee again and again? Does he go to all effective hearings himself? Does he treat clients with respect? Does he take calls of clients after fee has been paid?
Why should you not pay any intermediary or any website?
Several websites have made a business of charging money to provide contact details of lawyers. Some websites charge people so that people may get consultation from lawyers. So innocent people are paying websites and not lawyers to get legal advice. In several cases, not a penny is paid to lawyers.
This means advice which a person may get for free becomes paid merely because there is no platform to provide free contact details of lawyers.
Several websites and individuals take commission to refer cases to lawyers. The commission in some cases is 70% of total fee paid. We condemn this practice.
Which lawyer should not be preferred?
Lawyer of political type – Such lawyers are more active in politics rather than practice of law. Do you want a lawyer campaigning for himself when he should be present in court for you? A lawyer dedicated to practice of law will prefer not to have parallel business or political work which is extremely time consuming.
Lawyer having another business or NGO – see the reasons mentioned above.
Lawyer who refers you to another lawyer – A lawyer with established practice will never refer you to another lawyer. It is one thing to assist another lawyer, but another thing to refer a case to a lawyer. Such type of referring is generally a commission based system in which district court lawyers refer cases to High Court lawyers and High Court lawyers refer cases to Supreme Court lawyers. This system has nothing to do with quality of a lawyer. It is purely commission based system. This started when internet and connectivity did not exist and people did not know how to get contact of good lawyers. In era of internet and 4G, this system has lost his relevance.
Only a lawyer or law firm having more than 50 verified reviews can have recommended status from reviews.legal. We approve only authentic reviews based on case details so your clients must have a high level of satisfaction to provide good reviews which are based on case details. If you want this status, make sure you meet the eligibility criteria.
Simply contact us and fill the form on contact page. We will add your listing.


We've all heard the warnings about wearing sunscreen with an SPF 15 or higher and seeking shade from the sun as part of a regimen to help prevent skin cancer — but do you know what skin cancer symptoms to look for?
According to the World Health Organization, one in every three cancers diagnosed worldwide is a skin cancer (between two and three million non-melanoma skin cancers and 132,000 melanoma skin cancers); 80-90 per cent of which are caused by UV radiation.
Non-melanoma skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma) are rarely life-threatening, but surgical treatment is often necessary, and can sometimes be disfiguring. These skin cancers typically appear on parts of the body that are commonly exposed to the sun (i.e. the face, ears, forearms and neck). Basal cell carcinoma might appear as a waxy or shiny bump, a pink or red scar/patchy skin, or even a "pimple" that bleeds easily. Squamous cell carcinoma can appear in similar areas of the body as a red lump, a lesion with a scaly surface, open sores or wart-like bumps.
Malignant melanoma isn't as prevalent as non-melanomas, but is the major cause of death from skin cancer. Watch out for a new or changing mole (i.e. if it changes in size or colour, or even if it develops a halo-like appearance around it), brown spots with dark spots, lesions, or sores that don't heal.
With May being Skin Cancer Awareness Month, take a look at the video above for a list of often-overlooked skin cancer symptoms to watch out for. The sooner skin cancer is identified and treated, the better your chances — make sure to see a doctor if you are worried about any changes to your skin.

Q: Why is "did be" grammatically incorrect? What's wrong with this sentence?

Where did you be yesterday?

These sorts of sentences have been bothering me for some time. Can someone explain to me why I cannot say sentences like one in the example?

A: It is possible that there is some variant of English that allows this - I don't know.
My intuition as a native speaker is that "to do" refers to an action. The verb "to be" does not describe an action, it describes a state of existence. "Being" is not something you can "do".

High School Insider: A conversation with KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett
The Kentucky High School Athletic Association Board of Control voted Aug. 20 to allow cross country, field hockey, soccer, volleyball and football seasons to start the week of Sept. 7.
By: Mike Dyer
The Kentucky High School Athletic Association fall sports season starts this week in its entirety.
And with it brings a range of emotions as cross country, field hockey, soccer, volleyball and football begin during the COVID-19 pandemic. Golf started in late July.
"The feedback we're getting is kind of half mixed between total excitement and trepidation," KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett said.
"Nobody really is sure of everything they're doing. One of the things that we did in our guidance from moment one is recommend kind of phasing things in. Let's don't start trying to be ready for the end of the year whether it's coaching, whether setting up games. Let's try things, let's experiment a little bit because they may work differently."
Tackett joined the WCPO High School Insider to discuss the start of the majority of the fall sports season this week and how he's managed to keep tabs on everything during the pandemic during this past winter, spring and summer.
"The bottom line that we've tried to stay focused through all of this - I have used the expression lately I feel like we're conducting a circus in the middle of a tornado - but the focus has been on the students," Tackett said.
"And if we can get that focus together and do what's the best while realizing there is no perfect choice we'll be OK with this."
Also, Talawanda football coach Larry Cox joins the WCPO High School Insider to discuss the Brave's 17-7 win over Harrison Sept. 4. It was Talawanda's first win over Harrison since 1995.

Some time ago I blogged about the final animation I was working on, and at the time we had only just been given the assignment so I did completely forget about it until the graded unit exam was over. It is now, so unfortunately having to start back on probably my least favourite part of the whole course.
Funny isn't it, I thought I would love creating animations but to be honest, I find I am probably that bit better at SQL code. Code in general is pretty hard but the more you learn the easier it gets and now I have no problem reading a line of this stuff and understanding it! Which is cool for me, but probably a tad bit geeky!
Well first of I should probably state what the animation must include, and by the way this thing is no where near ready, I was just hoping to hear what people think about it?
And HERE is what I have!
I am hoping I can pass this unit eventually but as I may have mentioned I am prego and 17 weeks now and to be honest I want to get out there and work now to save some money for the wee one coming, of course I will carry on with it though cos this baby's mummy isn't a dropout!
Nice Blog. I gather lot of information about Animation Colleges in Jaipur. I heard the news about Manipal University is one of the Top 5 Colleges in Jaipur. Thanks for sharing this blog.
I'm happy to find numerous useful info here in the post. I would really like to come back again right here for likewise good articles. The Top Animation institutes in Delhi, Jaipur, Kolkata, Pune etc are superb in my opinion. If anyone wants to do this, can go through these colleges. Thanks for the sharing.

Q: How do I use my Java Class Library in Netbeans? I'm trying to better understand binary search trees, so I put together a Java Class Library for one in Netbeans.
It's all done, and I want to use it in something else I'm doing.
I built the class library, and created a library in Netbeans with the Jar. Then I added it to my project.
Now how do I use it?
Here's what I've got:
package bsttester;

import BinarySearchTree.*;

public class BSTTester {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
        BinarySearchTree bst;
    }
}

There are no issues with the import, but
BinarySearchTree bst;

comes back with this:
cannot find symbol:

Our real manmade climate crisis | Watts Up With That?
Even the IPCC and British Meteorological Office now recognize that average global temperatures haven't budged in almost 17 years. Little evidence suggests that sea level rise, storms, droughts, polar ice and temperatures or other weather and climate events and trends display any statistically significant difference from what Earth and mankind have experienced over the last 100-plus years.
March 8, 2013 in Climate News, Opinion.
I will say again: If people want to be full of superstition regarding weather and climate, so much so that they essentially take leave of their senses, that has real consequences on grown-ups around the world. However, among the ways that this holiday from reality does the very most damage is the effect that it has on children! No one exemplifies the AGW comfort level with terrorizing the very young than James Hansen with his unconscionable Storms of My Grandchildren.
Of the funds poured into the environmentalist and activist movements, does anyone know whether Bill McKibben received any, whether directly or via any organisation such as 350.org?
This is a great rebuttal to so called "denier" dirty Oil funding.
Just think what good that money could have been used for instead of being wasted as it has been.
The political class seem to have no qualms at all about ripping up the sacred trust not to burden our children and grandchildren with a monstrous debt that exists beyond any shadow of a doubt. Why then do they get all dewy-eyed about taking care not to "burden" them with scarely discernable changes in the weather which in any case seem not to be developing?
I guess you can't fail when you try to fix a problem that doesn't exist so there's no harm is making a fuss about what a hero you are for all the steps you're taking. You can't lose.
These Gestapo style tactics must be highlighted.
The worst catastrophy imposed on the environment is the environmentalist Nazis.
My post was refused presumably because I used the "N" word.
Call them what they are and expose their hypocrisy.
Mr Kerry hasn't gone down too well here in England after his visit. Not only did he fail to take the opportunity to chastise Argentina over its Falklands stance, but failed to show any support at all for the islanders right to vote! He is, what would unpolitely be called here, a pratt.
Warmistas (defined as: "the warmist cult", or "the religion of warmism").
May their efforts prove futile and their crimes be heaped on their heads!
This is one of the best opinion pieces you have ever written.
The out of control NGO industry and hiding incompetence and malfeasance behind climate excuses are damaging us all.
You have summed it up- with documentation- very well.
Thet/we didn't listen then, why now?
I'm glad that nothing about this post is in any way alarmist.
Excellent! Not that those who should be reading this and taking it to heart will actually do so. But at least it's here and we can link to this article for anyone who starts spouting the alarmist line.
Modern environmentalism. . . All the democracy you can buy.
The man is a muppet, knows not a lot, just learns his script.
I see a boat heading up a **** creek to the sound of the Doors' 'The End'.
Love the article. Fighting a changing climate that naturally changes unpredictably is "our most sacred trust"? Fighting demagogues would be more like it.
During a former precognitive (literally: before curious human observation/investigation), pre-science era?
One wonders what 'age' this elder statesman lives, thinks.
Well…its all coming together with leadership that has no boundary. Combined with the power given to use a plethora of agencies to regulate and fee monger. A health tax that is going to strip the economy. Pile on the guilt trip that mankind causes climate disasters with global tax schemes as a stand off remedy. More storms, need more taxes to assure mediation. All promoted by a media that is in step with any and all the b.s. from our beloved whited house imperialist.
The camps are ready for those who need mental help to realign their anti agenda attitudes. Especially climate skeptics. Maybe there is a slight chance of some awakening. But…Not going to rely on it.
Since we elect the politicians the fault is our own. We get the policies we deserve.
The REAL manmade climate crisis: politicized science and corruption.
greg, it saddens me that you don't wish to accept verifiable realities.
John Kerry met his wife at an environmental event when she was the wife of the now deceased Sen. John Heinz – so SofS Kerry is not new to the views expressed at the top of the post.
@ lurker – Anthony did not write this – go back to the beginning.
Washington State's new Gov. – Jay Inslee, is also clueless about science. Just more proof that this issue is not about science.
With Hansen as Colonel Kurtz?
Anthony didn't write this. It's a guest post.
Well worth reading. Hits the nail right on the head.
I couldn't agree more and I think one of his first acts should be to bicycle over to Egypt and tell Morsi to install solar panels on those Abrams tanks and F16 fighters we so responsibly sold to them. While he's at it, he could advise them to use ecologically responsible explosives when they blow up the pyramids and sphinx (you know, no bad influences on people's minds or the environment).
Then Sec of State Kerry could make a little detour over to Iran and have a pleasant face-to-face chit chat with Ayatollah Khameini. Perhaps Kerry could explain to him that he need not fear any damage to Iran's Fordo nuclear facility so long as they produce 'green' nuclear weapons: After all, the U.S. is opposed to mountain top removal schemes.
One place our hardy diplomat should avoid when he bicycles and sailboats (the sail boat part is actually probably a bit true) back home is Benghazi. He'll want to avoid that at all costs.
Ilma-350 is affiliated with the New Economics Institute that used to be known as the Schumacher Society. NEI and the Global Transitions 2012 agenda that carried over after the new year gets Ford Foundation funding.
A lot of the research I have done into the real definitions of Global Citizenship and systems thinking and a new type of capitalism that is in no way, shape or form about free markets or consumer choice always seems to track back to a prof with a Ford endowed professorship at some well-known institution. In fact if I had the time I might cross reference who has those endowed professorships with what they are really pushing.
Also the Aspen Institute pushes a lot of these ideas but it in turn gets funded by the big foundations. But it sounds better to say something is supported by the Aspen Institute rather than the Annie B Casey or Hewlett Foundation.
To borrow against their future so that some can life high on the hog today. To leave our children and grandchildren a lifetime of debt from which they will never escape. To sell them into slavery, with the deed held by the banks. The plantation owners of old dressed in banker's clothing.
In 1865 Lincoln freed the slaves. 150 years later the entire nation had been sold into slavery – only they didn't yet know it. Having kept interest rates low, the chains were applied without anyone noticing. Only as interest rates began to rise did the chains begin to bite.
Sometimes alarmism is necessary. Paul Revere comes to mind.
The point of the essay is that contrived and exaggerated alarmism in this case is exploitative and destructive. I think you might have missed that.
Kerry is a self-absorbed idiot. It's why he got the job. Or else he's in cahoots with the Goreacle, lookin' for a big payday.
Paul Driessen is close to a fact, discovered in psychological experiments decades ago. Seeing is not believing but believing is seeing. A friend of mine often goes to Indonesia. For years he said that the climate there was disrupted. When I asked him how, I never got an answer, but something was wrong. You could see it. More recently he stopped with these messages. Perhaps Lewandowsky could have a look at the work of his former colleagues when he is ready with his conspiracy theories.
I first met Kerry in Viet Nam. A very clever self promoter with little real intelligence. He has always had his eye on the main prize…..leadership of this country. Pray that he does not acheive his dfream..
Nowhere on the ballot does it say "none of the above". Instead we have a choice between a crook or an incompetent. The tens of millions it costs to run a political campaign to win a job that pays a hundred thousand effectively prevents the honest citizen from entering politics.
Every ballot should have "none of the above" as the last item on the ballot. If "none of the above" wins, then everyone else on the ballot should be barred from holding public office for a period of 10 years. This would very quickly clean up the political system.
Electoral reform starts with giving the people voting a real choice. "None of the above" would do this. If all candidates are bad, then you should be free to reject all of them.
Had "None of the Above" been a choice of the last presidential election, who would have won?
Yes, it is man-made, and yes, it is a real crisis!
That statement might be true if democracy were working properly. It isn't.
The folks you voted for aren't working for your benefit. They are working for the benefit of those who paid for their campaigns. Any other course of action would guarantee that they would not be re-elected and no politician will risk that.
This may be a cheap shot, but it's not often a caricature is better looking than the real thing.
Maybe a bit off-topic but the UK "Daily Mail" chart of the MET office "peaked" my curiosity. Has anyone done a regression on the peaks of the anomalies to see if they favor a season? I would presume that steady warming should produce peaks of "above normal" temperatures randomly without regard to a season. For example, if the average temperature increased a 0.5 degree globally, their will be random peaks above that (independant of season) and below that. But if the peaks favor a season (i.e. a statistically significant number of peaks are in Northern Hemisphere summers), that would seem to indicate a signal beyond "Global Warming" and could be things like Land vs. Sea temperature stations, Urban Heat Island effect, temp station weighting, etc. Has anyone ever seen such a regression. A seasonal or X day average warming binning by year regressed against other years shouldn't have any correlation.
The situation that is described by Mr. Driessen is a product of the deceptive argument called the "equivocation fallacy." To draw a conclusion from an argument in which a term changes meanings in the middle of this argument is the equivocation fallacy. By logical rule, to draw such a conclusion is improper.
Major premise:	A plane is a carpenter's tool.
Minor premise:	A Boeing 737 is a plane.
Conclusion: A Boeing 737 is a carpenter's tool.
Climatologists use the equivocation fallacy in making arguments about the methodologies of their studies. A consequence is for people like Secretary of State Kerry to be duped into concluding that the methodology of science is being employed in climatological studies when this conclusion is not true. Scientists and skeptics are among the many who are duped by the same deceptive argument.
I noticed that Paul Driessen's wiki page describes him as a "Lobbyist." Wonder if that is a Connolley construct.
As the US dollar disappears into Zimbabwe equivalencies, more people will pay attention,for abstract policies, that sound odd but do not seem to effect me, are ignored until they hurt.
Good post, nice commentary, I'm with Rocky Road on this, Genocide for sure.
Poverty is a vicious wake up call. The longer the one world bureaucracy, anti-humanist eco-phonies, believe they are winning the more we get to see their true nature.
Their religion(the cause) runs contrary to human nature, history and physical nature.
But faith will overcome and the end justifies the means?
Seems like after all that money spent on promoting the cause, protecting the message and persecuting inquirers, communicating the cause, is still failing.
The most recent posts here on WUWT indicate the promoters of the "Cause" are doubling down on their message, displaying an obsession with the message, a contempt for the intelligence of the public and a desperation that indicates they know they are failing but do no comprehend why.
The best expression of that was a statement, last year, complaining about sceptics obsession with discussing the science, as if that was idiotic behaviour.
I may be wrong, but I love the smell of desperation inherent in these hysterical proclamations from the media, academia and selected politicians.
When caught on a series of lies, restore credibility by lying louder, faster, more repetitiously?
The "Cause" was cloaked in a thin veneer of science, due to their contempt for the taxpayer, the team "knew" that no one would check or could check,i.e.; we lost the data?
Now that pretence of science has come back to bite the faith, nature cycles on and human nature says payback will happen.
I can understand the desperation of the faithful, a policy of abuse, personal attack and deceit could leave one suffering from projection terrors. Given the behaviour they have displayed, one can only imagine the savagery they fear.
I wonder if the UN has computer models, projecting the reaction of the taxpayers to their revealed mendacity ?
Given that the climate has stopped changing, the only other measurement that the Great Hoax now depends on, is the series of CO2 readings from the Mauna Loa volcano. As I understand it, there is one instrument used for producing the reference gas, and another one on the top of the volcano.
As the world's economy is directly affected by the readings of these two instruments, plus the post-processing of the data, it would seem obvious that there has been a really critical study of the the design and performance of these instruments and their place in the whole process of CO2 measurement and reporting.
Can anybody point to such a report?
Hate to say it but I wouldn't be quite so certain about that. Remember, Obama got his start in Chicago. He was lured here by the 'fixer' Tony Rezko who arranged for Obama's purchase of a home in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. Rezko's now in prison. In his formative years in Chicago, Obama was taken under the wing of Alice Palmer; Illinois State Senator in the capital in Springfield. Her district was the poor south side ghetto and, I believe, Hyde Park. Mel Reynolds was the U.S. Washington congressional rep for that district. He had to vacate his seat 'cause he went to prison. Alice Palmer maneuvered to run for Reynolds' seat but was deterred when Jesse Jackson Jr. announced his candidacy. Palmer couldn't compete with the Jackson name or war chest so she went to return to her state senate seat (Jackson now appears headed for prison). Barack Obama barred his former mentor from returning to her seat by allegations of voter fraud on Palmer's part (the Chicago way) so her slithered into her senate seat un opposed. A few years later Illinois's governor, Rod Blagoyevich would go to prison for attempting to sell Obama's seat when he vacated it for the presidency. Got any ideas about Illinois politics? I don't think these are the voter's choices.
I don't have the numbers in front of me anymore so I'm relying on my ageing memory but I believe 59 precincts in Philadelphia delivered around 16,000 votes to Obama and not one…not one…to Romney. That's a physical impossibility. That's fraud. In Chicago, I believe 37 precincts delivered about 13,000 votes to Obama and not one…not one…to Romney. A friend of mine who works for a bordering village of Chicago told me he had a co-worker tell him he voted 3 times for Obama. Now let's talk about what's been emerging from Ohio: double votes, triple, gosh, even sextuple votes.
Do you really think the voters have spoken?
We only elect our politicians from the select few that are pre-selected to be allowed to run for office. The average American has no control whatsoever over who becomes President, and no control whatsoever over who is appointed to the Cabinet.
If anything, you can blame the people for allowing the politicians to shred the Constitution, but you cannot completely blame them for who gets elected. When you are continually given a choice of two idiots, one of the two idiots is bound to be elected, unless no one votes for either of them, which is what I would prefer to happen, but you aren't ever going to see it ACTUALLY happen.
On a national level, the politicians who run for office are selected by their own parties, not by the people. In countries other than the USA, it is even worse than this. Blaming the people may be convenient for you, but it ultimately doesn't assess, address, or help to SOLVE the actual problem.
I hereby commit to use no more electricity than John Kerry and his wife use in their five or so mansions, no more fuel than he and his wife use in their private jet and yacht.
This is something frequently missed by alarmists.
One could be totally convinced by the 'science' and yet 'resistant' because you don't see 'green' as the only solution. How did acceptance of the radiative properties of CO2 morph into unconditional acceptance of every whacked out scheme of 'Big Green'? Or indeed acceptance of the schemes of every SIF on the Planet?
While I respect your opinion where Science is concerned – you could be stepping out on a limb with that one Leif. Then again there are a great many sites to which we might move the argument. Not here at WUWT though eh?
A great point. I have often wondered about the predictable sinusoidal rise of the CO2.
Years ago, about 1978 to be exact, I was doing CO2 measurements with an old "sniffer" device. I was testing boiler flue gases. Even though the fuel flow was constant, I had a hard time getting consistent CO2 readings. Maybe I did not have the "latest and greatest" equipment, but the rising CO2 graphs seem a little too perfectly repeatable to me.
Just look at the inaccuracies that been found with temp data….
But must point out that they are not hallmarks of dramatically changing climate . . . . unless he is saying "dramatically changing climate" was is and probably always will be the norm. How fast changes have come has always been a contention within science. Just like plate techtonics, which affect climate more than anthing I know of in the long term. . . . And as we have seen in geological time they can be very slow or very "dramatic"!
Like the speech, but can it be delivered . . . .
I do not see what the problem is Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow?
The point of the post is the PURPOSE behind the alarmism.
On the one hand you have Mr. Driessen arguing, in an alarming way, about the use of climate alarmism to cause real harm to societies.
On the other hand, Mr. Driessen's alarmism doesn't have any motive other than to warn against that harm, i.e. his in not proposing taxes, prices hikes, new forms of governments, etc.
The difference seems clear to me.
Fred Berple: Emancipation proclamation was in 1862, not 1865. Big difference.
Doug Huffman; thanks very much for Crichton's address. He's the perfect guy to write that excellent piece.
I think Kerry is the same as Romney.
In love with the dollar and so self-justified in their upper-crust existence.
Leif is under the delusion that there are free elections here. I'd like to give him a course in history to wake him up.
That this money has caused widespread pernicious and corrupting effects should surprise no one.
It certainly doesn't surprise me. Money corrupts. Al Gore made a documentary telling the world about a planetary emergency caused by c02, He then takes oil money from Qatari oil backed Al Jazeera and buys 2 large homes is not a surprise. It's always been about the money, scientific status and the green agenda. An unholy alliance of bankers, big oil, greens, journalists and politicians. Never in World history have so few been up against the might (and money) of so many and yet the many are failing so miserably.
The problem with the last sentence is that it should add the environmental green movement. Future generations will be sickened by the display of bare faced greed and lies.
News just in via nofrakkingconsensus, the IPCC is looking for 'Expert Reviewers'.
Greenpeace activists anyone? WWF activists anyone? The system is political and it has been gamed from the start. Expect more howlers like glaciergate.
By far the worst climate crisis, however, is eco-imperialism perpetrated against African and other poor nations………………….South Africa's critically needed, state-of-the-art Medupi coal-fired power plant, which the Center for American Progress, Friends of the Earth, Sierra Club and other radical groups stridently opposed.
Imagine in your home town if you had electricity but your 3 friends had not access to electricity. Imagine the same for the USA? Here are the shocking figures [no pun intended].
Low access and insufficient capacity – Some 24 percent of the population of sub-Saharan Africa has access to electricity versus 40 percent in other low income countries. Excluding South Africa, the entire installed generation capacity of sub-Saharan Africa is only 28 Gigawatts, equivalent to that of Argentina.
I want to hear from some of our regular green alarmist friends what they have to say about this scandal and what they propose as a viable solution. Solar? Wind? It's smoke and mirrors with lots of hot air. Grrrrrr.
There's also an interesting effect I've noticed that I can't classify. Those that preach about Global Warming and that we must do something about it can also live very wastefully, drive an SUV, live in a large house, don't donate to charities, and screw their neighbors every chance I get yet they would be seen as honorable people who cares about the planet and therefore all of humanity. But if a person questions Global Warming on i's scientific merit, but drive an electric car, live in a small home and heat with wood, give generously to charities, and help every neighbor that they can, they are labelled as a denier, someone who is destroying the planet and doesn't care about children's future, and should be despised.
Can someone trained in psychology clue me into what this is called?
There are actually multiple sites measuring CO2 and even some satellites – so you are looking in the wrong place.
Whenever you are given a hypothesis or a paper/report on scientific research, always look for assumptions; they should be listed but they are often glossed over.
The prime assumption made by CAGW proponents is that before 'industrialization' taken as AD1750 the atmospheric CO2 levels were low ~250ppm and the current levels of CO2 are 'unprecedented'. This is based on cherry picked metrics.
The low levels of CO2 claimed to be 'normal' or 'before the industrial age' are based on bubbles in ice cores where the chemistry and diffusion of CO2 under pressure in ice for hundreds or thousands of years has been ignored as has the possibility of bubbles forming by gassing off as the cores were brought up to atmospheric pressure. There was also quite a lot of 'Mike's Nature Trick' type playing with the dates of the cores to get the CO2 levels from the cores to match with the measured CO2 levels (one report was 75 years slip had to be 'found').
But there were many measurements of atmospheric CO2 before the ice cores. The levels can be found from plant remains by the density and size of stomata in their leaves and in the 19th and early 20th century many scientists including Nobel laureate chemists among others measured atmospheric CO2 using chemical means. These scientists had results showing concentrations that were not dissimilar to the current levels.
A German scientist Ernst George Beck collated these CO2 metrics (and that is all he did – collate other scientists metrics) and pointed out that the fundamental claim of 'unprecedented CO2 levels' since AD1750 appeared to be flawed. Thus the basis of the CAGW hypootheses was fatally flawed. For this Beck was excoriated by 'the team' to a level that even now truly scientific skeptics avoid using any references that include his name. This was totally unfair as it was not his research he was publishing but a collation of previous research.
The CAGW community would love to debate Mauna Loa as it obfuscates a major and fundamental flawed assumption in their CAGW hypothesis.
@ David L; It's a relatively new disease or syndrome known as Algoreiousupusrectumus Disease, or AD for short. I don't think Obamacare covers it yet.
Great article, Paul. The thing that keeps me optimistic is knowing that although the alarmists are still raking in the cash, they are losing on-the-ground support hand over fist. We know this, or they wouldn't have to fudge their viewing numbers, send out their bots or have their trolls come in, each pretending to be more than one person.
More and more ordinary citizens are waking up to the sham every day, so it's only a matter of time.
Frankly, I'm waiting for the masses to rise up. It will be ugly, but I fear necessary. I hope I'm wrong, but I cannot see any other way to get those mitts out of the cookie jar. These people are not going to willingly pull back.
Okay, I'm not trained in psychology, but I know what I call this: modern leftism. It's the same thing that is going on when someone is all about "racial equality" but considers people of other colors to be suitable only for servants and menial labor. In a similar vein, it's an entire political movement that somehow believes that Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell weren't actually black when they were associated with the Republican party.
I could list a lot more examples, and I'm sure you could too. In the old days it was called hypocrisy, but that word has now been judged by the "politically correct" crowd to only apply to some vague stereotype involving religious types and the people who actually do the work that runs the planet.
For those few who actually care, yes, this is what leftism has become. Maybe you lean politically left but aren't like this… but this is what is waiting at the bottom of that long slide.
and UAH if similarly smoothed only show lack of warming for 11-12 years.
The US East Coast where the huge concentration of media and political power give the region outsized influence is indeed drowning. It's been gradually drowning since the Great Melt and this is exacerbated by the tectonic subsidence there. People who live there assume all coasts are experiencing something similar. The Green Mafia take full advantage of it.
Over the past three years, the Tides Foundation and Tides Center alone poured $335 million into environmentalist climate campaigns, and $1 billion into green lobbies at large, notes Undue Influence author Ron Arnold.
Does it do similar funding programs as the following:?
I think we need a financial flow chart to show how the hundreds of millions are flowing into green eco-fascist propaganda. I'm sure Heartland's large $6.5 million will feature prominently.
In today's world there are at least 2 groups who know what's going on in this global financial scam. The global warming sceptics and the establishment of climate scientist whores, bankers, oil companies, governments, hypocritical 'greens' and Hollywood 'stars'. There is a third group, they are known as the ordinary members of the public – worldwide. They are being screwed for all its worth.
I *do* wish ppl would even just lightly research a subject before commenting, well, blindly … truly, this exemplifies "low information" posting.
a) Who turned around the 2002 Winter Olympics?
b) Who married "into money"?
A friend of mine who works for a bordering village of Chicago told me he had a co-worker tell him he voted 3 times for Obama. Now let's talk about what's been emerging from Ohio: double votes, triple, gosh, even sextuple votes.
Some people will believe anything anyone tells them, as long as it suits their preconceived notions.
That could be true, without being illegal or wrong . . . . over a long period of time. Once in the primaries, once in 2008 presidential election and once in the 2012 election . . . .!!! just sayin' . . . . Had him & you goin' . . . . there, huh?
re Ian W's remarks on Ernst Beck's work, I concur.
However, I was proposing a rigorous scientific investigation of the CO2 measurement and data-reduction process.
I know that these kinds of systems contain many potential sources of error, and so they can be analysed via the scientific method of looking for 'falsifications'. i.e. looking for errors in subsystems that would be needed in order to produce the same result, and checking to see whether these sources of error are properly compensated for in the system as a whole.
For example, the battery of tests could include the effects of non-linearity in the ADC process; dimming of the lightsource, corrosion in the gas vessels, variation in the constituents of the reference gases, the effect of the accumulation of concrete at the site(s), the effect of increasing transport patterns, the local heating of the ocean, and so on.
So, can anyone point to such studies into this most important subject?

'Construction mishap, not landslide'
By LIEW JIA XIAN and LO TERN CHERN
GEORGE TOWN: The incident that claimed four lives at a beach resort in Tanjung Bungah was a construction mishap, said Penang Island City Council (MBPP) mayor Yew Tung Seang.
He said that the slope was unstable due to digging activities as the resort's owner was building a retaining wall without informing the authorities.
"It's not a landslide. The incident occurred after the retaining wall collapsed within the resort's premises.
"We need to be informed of any construction activity and make sure that it is done under the supervision of engineers.
"We are monitoring the situation closely before making a decision on whether to stop the resort's operations," he said at a press conference after the launching of the Karpal Singh Digital Hub at SK Sungai Gelugor yesterday.
On Tuesday, four foreign workers were buried alive in a freak accident at the construction site in Tanjung Bungah.
It is learnt that the resort owner recently contracted a Myanmar worker to build a retaining wall after finding that the hill separating the resort and Jalan Batu Ferringhi showed signs of erosion.
The contractor hired three other Myanmar nationals to assist him.
Checks found that the retaining wall, which was supposed to be about 5m wide, had yet to be built but there were other retaining walls beside it.
State local government committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo said mitigation works along the 50m stretch of Jalan Batu Ferringhi would be completed in three to four weeks' time.
"Although the incident happened on private land, it has affected the federal road where many heavy vehicles pass by every day.
"It is important to stabilise the road to ensure the safety of road users," he said.
Meanwhile, Citizens Awareness Chant Group adviser Yan Lee called on the MBPP to reveal its standard operating procedures for investigating illegal earthworks done in the state.
"I hope that the council can share with us how many officers or workers are available to check on such earthworks," he said.

I have been lucky along with cellars. Having obtained five houses in my daily life, no one has possessed severe cellar humidity concerns. Some dampness in the summertime, yes, but absolutely nothing a dehumidifier couldn't deal with! The key: When being shown a residence by a representative, aim to start your trip in the cellar. If there is actual documentation of an important water concern (such as an active sump pit as well as a pump or even high-water marks on the walls), walk away before you love the kitchen or even expert room. A wet basement is heading to result in all form of issues past water– corrosion, rot, mold, and mildew as well as the unhealthful interior sky.
If you've ever before asked yourself, "Exactly what is a sump pump?" after that, you're blessed, because you most likely don't need to have one. For the unfortunate proprietors from wet basements, right here is the scoop: A septic tank pump partakes the cellar, either underneath (in the case of a completely submersible pump) or even over the flooring. This pumps out water that accumulates in the septic tank container, expelling that to the outsides.
You'll certainly never need to buy one if you buy a property that never floods. As well as if you perform to get a residence along with a water problem, there might be numerous ways to correct it just before resorting to a sump pump and also pit. Ought to you decide to purchase one, put your loan towards a model that is high-grade and also well-reviewed– as a matter of fact, it might make sense to buy a pair of or even 3!
Take into consideration all on call possibilities to stop water off entering your home with the base. Putting up a sump pump may be chaotic, and also one more service may be equally as effective. For instance, I've known house owners who place in a septic tank pump to desert that after setting up an exterior curtain drain that pleases water into a fish pond.
Similarly, putting in or even mending gutters, so they don't drainpipe near your foundation may additionally make a major difference. As well as if a path, outdoor patio, or even pool deck inclines toward your house instead of far from it, they are adding many quarts of water to your complication. Some services can re-level pieces, so they recede coming from your house, and lots of sorts of patios could be taken out and also re-installed with the suitable slope without a lot of expense.
Select a completely submersible pump over a pedestal pump if your septic tank container possesses the area. Submersible pumps enable the sump pit to be covered with a top, decreasing pump noise and quitting fragments coming from coming under the pit. An airtight lid also helps maintain damp sky from being launched right into your home.
Buy a pump along with a huge iron primary, not one made from plastic. Cast iron assists to fritter away heat to the regarding water, extending the life of the pump.
To reduce the opportunity of clogs, the pump ought to have an on-screen consumption style combined with an impeller that may handle solids as much as 1/2- inch in size.
The button must be technical, not a stress change, and also the float must be solid, so it can not become waterlogged, fail to switch off, and also wear down the pump.
Search for one with an alarm to alarm you when the water hits a particular level.
A secondary pump put up appropriate close to the very first is a great idea too, specifically, if your cellar has been actually changed to staying area or even if you store belongings there certainly. If your key pump neglects or even is swamped, the backup pump instantly consumes.
For additional insurance coverage, a battery data backup pump could also be installed. When the power goes out, as it commonly does in a storm, the battery-powered pump could carry on pumping for around 2 times, a thing on the need.
Mix bundles with two or three pumps are available. A less costly choice is to install a water alert as well as always to keep a spare pump handy should the main pump stop working.
When you've committed and mounted any needed sump pumps, test all of them routinely as well as make sure the examination shutoff is functioning; thus water does not recede into the basement.
