Enter Shikari (також стилізується як ΣΠΤΣR SHΦΚΔRΦ та enter: shikari; до 2003 року Hybryd) — британський рок-гурт, створений в 1999 році у Сент-Олбанс під назвою Hybryd басистом Крісом Баттеном, вокалістом та клавішником Рау Рейналдсом та барабанщиком Робом Рольфом. У 2003 році до гурту долучився гітарист Рорі Клюлов, завершивши формування його складу, який з того часу є незмінним. З цього ж року має свою поточну назву. За час свого існування гурт випустив шість повноформатних студійних альбомів. Перш за все відомий своїм еклектичним музичним стилем, що поєднує рок-музику (здебільшого пост-хардкор, металкор, альтернативний метал) з різноманітними жанрами електронної (зокрема дабстеп, транс, драм-енд-бейс), завдяки чому досягається особливе, пізнаване звучання. Гурт вважається піонером жанру електронікор. Має власний лейбл звукозапису Ambush Reality.

Історія гурту

Початок (1999 – 2006)
В 1999 році сформувався гурт Hybryd, який складався з Рау Рейналдса (гітара, вокал), Кріса Баттена (бас-гітара) та Роба Рольфа (ударні). В цьому складі вони випустили мініальбом Commit No Nuisance. У 2003 році, після приєднання Рорі Клюлова, гурт змінює назву на Enter Shikari. Вона походить від слова Shikari, що з мови гінді перекладається як "мисливець". Завершення формування складу дозволило Рау Рейналдсу сконцентрувати свій музичний вклад у гурт на вокалі та створенні електронної музики.

Протягом 2003 та 2004 років гурт випустив три мініальбоми (Nodding Acquaintance, Anything Can Happen in the Next Half Hour і Sorry You're Not a Winner), що розповсюджувались на концертах та офіційному сайті. У 2006 році виходить відео до синглу "Mothership", що став релізом тижня в ITunes Store. Це був перший реліз з майбутнього альбому "Take to the Skies". 30 жовтня 2006 виходить сингл "Sorry You're Not a Winner/OK Time for Plan B", що став першим у доробку групи релізом на фізичних носіях, і був пізніше використаний в іграх EA Sports NHL 08 та Madden 08. Наступним синглом та другим з майбутнього студійного альбому став "Anything Can Happen in the Next Half Hour", що вийшов 5 березня 2007-го року і складався з перезаписаної однойменної демоверсії.

Take To The Skies (2007 – 2008)

Дебютний альбом гурту "Take To The Skies" вийшов 19 березня 2007 року, а вже 25 числа досягнув 4-ї сходинки в UK Official Album Charts. Він включав в себе багато перезаписаних пісень, що були випущені у вигляді демоверсій до релізу альбому.

Common Dreads (2009 – 2010)

Гурт приступив до запису другого альбому в кінці 2008 року і демонстрував його прогрес епізодів на своєму каналі в YouTube.

Альбом Common Dreads вийшов 15 червня 2009 року в Європі та 16 червня в США, досягнувши 16 рядка в британському чарті. У перший тиждень продажі склали 15 000 примірників.

A Flash Flood of Colour (2011 – 2013)

14 червня 2010 року Enter Shikari анонсували, що повертаються до студії для запису нової пісні. Вона отримала назву "Destabilise" та була випущена в якості позаальбомного синглу у цифровому форматі 26 жовтня 2010 року, а також в обмеженій версії на грамплатівці 29 листопада 2010.

19 травня 2011 року гурт випустив ще один позаальбомний сингл, "Quelle Surprise". Пізніше в цьому ж році, 20 вересня був випущений "Sssnakepit", а 2 грудня - "Gandhi Mate, Gandhi". Обидва сингли належали до майбутнього третього альбому гурту.

Enter Shikari випустили A Flash Flood of Colour 16 січня 2012 року.

Rat Race EP (2013 – 2014)

В квітні 2013 року гурт випускає позаальбомний сингл "The Paddington Frisk". Пізніше було анонсовано, що цей трек стане частиною безіменного майбутнього EP з трьох пісень, що буде випущений пізніше в цьому році. 5 червня 2013 року гурт оголосив через свій офіційний Twitter-акаунт про те, що вони записують відео на новий сингл "Radiate". Вперше цей трек був зіграний 10 червня Зейном Лоу на власному шоу на BBC Radio 1. Пісня стала синглом тижня. 31 жовтня 2013 року мініальбом "Rat Race EP" був випущений. Він складався з двох вищезгаданих треків, однойменної до альбому пісні "Rat Race", а також трансового реміксу "Radiate", виконаного стороннім проєктом Рау Рейналдса "Shikari Sound System".

The Mindsweep (2014 – 2017)

Наприкінці 2012 року бас-гітарист гурту Кріс Баттен заявив, що вони почнуть роботу над четвертим альбомом після завершення свого концертного туру, і він буде завершений колись у 2013 році. Але пізніше він же зазначив, що альбом не буде готовий у згаданий термін.

8 жовтня 2014 року гурт анонсував, що новий альбом матиме назву The Mindsweep, та буде випущений 19 січня 2015 року. Перед виходом альбому також вийшло два сингли -  "The Last Garrison" та "Anaesthetist". Додатково в проміжку листопад-грудень 2014 було випущено ще дві пісні - "Never Let Go of the Microscope" та "Slipshod". 12 січня 2015 року гурт виклав на своєму офіційному сайті весь альбом для онлайн-прослуховування.

30 жовтня 2015 року Enter Shikari випустили свій перший альбом реміксів - The Mindsweep: Hospitalised, який складався з драм-н-бейс компіляцій треків останнього альбому, які були створені резидентами лейблу Hospital Records.

12 січня 2016 року на  BBC Radio 1 вперше прозвучав новий сингл "Redshift". 9 жовтня того ж року також на Radio 1 був представлений реліз треку "Hoodwinker".

The Spark (2017–2019)

1 серпня 2017 року Enter Shikari анонсували свій новий альбом The Spark разом з основним синглом "Live Outside". Альбом був випущений 22 вересня.

Для просування альбому гурт вирушив у гастрольний тур The Spark World Tour по Великій Британії, Європі, Японії та Північній Америці.

15 лютого 2019 року гурт випустив в обмеженому виданні два концертних альбоми, Take to the Skies. Live in Moscow. May 2017 та Live at Alexandra Palace 2. Обидва були записані у 2017 році під час гастролей в рамках Take to the Skies 10 Year Anniversary Tour і The Spark World Tour.

У 2018 році гурт розпочав ексклюзивний тур "Stop the Clocks" Великою Британією, Скандинавією та рештою Європи, під час якого вони виконували нову пісню з однойменною назвою. Пісня була випущена як сингл 12 серпня 2019 року.

Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible (2019 – наш час)

В інтерв'ю Kerrang! гурт анонсував свій новий альбом, що стане "найбільш повним записом Shikari на сьогодні", та буде містити щось з кожного з попередніх альбомів.

10 лютого 2020 року новий сингл "The Dreamer's Hotel" (стилізований як { The Dreamer's Hotel }) був представлений на BBC Radio 1. В цей же день гурт анонсував, що їх новий альбом буде мати назву "Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible" і буде випущений 17 квітня 2020 року. Музичний кліп на { The Dreamer's Hotel } був представлений 8 березня 2020 року. Цього ж дня був випущений наступний сингл "The King" (стилізований як thē kĭñg).

"T.I.N.A." став третім синглом з майбутнього релізу, випущений 22 березня 2020 року. Назва посилається на відомий слоган Маргарет Тетчер "TINA", що є акронімом до "There is no alternative" (з англ. немає альтернативи).

Гурт підтримає випуск альбому повномасштабним туром Великою Британією у листопаді 2020 (перенесено з квітня у зв'язку з пандемією COVID-19).

Музичний стиль
Згідно з висловлюваннями учасників Enter Shikari, на початковому етапі кар'єри на їх музичний стиль вплинули такі колективи, як Refused, The Prodigy, At the Drive-In, Sick of It All, Rage Against the Machine, The Dillinger Escape Plan і The Beatles.

Концертна діяльність
Живі концерти гурту відзначаються винятковою ексцентричністю, намаганням розмити межу між сценою та залом, фірмовими стали доволі ризикові занурення вокаліста гурту у гущавину фанатів, де він неодноразово отримував легкі травми . Один з елементів страховки — довжелезний дріт мікрофона, завдяки якому асистенти утримують фізичний зв'язок із вокалістом, що може занурюватися у публіку на 30-70 метрів.

Виступи в Україні
2013 гурт брав участь у дорогих рок-фестивалях на сході Європи — у Бургасі (Болгарія), Дніпропетровську (Україна).

Гурт оголошений хедлайнером фестивалю Захід 2016, який відбувся у серпні 2016 року поблизу Львова. Також Enter Shikari завітали до столиці України 20 травня 2017 року з концертом на честь 10-ліття першого альбому. А вже в серпні того ж 2017 року, знову таки, очолили головну сцену другого дня фестивалю Zaxidfest2017. Таким чином, гурт тричі порадував своїх прихильників в Україні за один рік.

Enter Shikari співали в останній день фестивалю Atlas Weekend 2018 у Києві.

In order to build a genuine civilization, it is critical that we recognize impediments. The key impediment for some time now has been that our system is credit-based. This allows the clever amongst us -- rather than the wise -- to dictate our lives. All we need to do is to shift to an equity system.

Dr. Thomas Z
Reflecting on Five Years at NASA
I recently celebrated my five-year anniversary at NASA. Over these past 5 years, we have seen great success with NASA's Science missions. From landing on Mars to learning more about our home planet than ever before, teams across the agency are making the impossible possible. Without the incredible individuals that make up the excellent teams at NASA and its partners, none of this would be possible. So, thank you to all the people and teams that have worked with us over these 5 years to make new discoveries and push the boundaries of exploration.
With this 5-year milestone, I have been reflecting on a few of my biggest mistakes. I also hope this motivates others because it models a key truth of leadership that took me a long time to learn: "excellence is not the absence of mistakes, but a focus on constant improvement and learning".
One thing that comes to the top of my mind is my failure early on to broaden my message regarding diversity and inclusion at NASA. This resulted in inadvertently putting up walls that kept some valuable communities out in ways I never intended. Let me explain.
When I joined NASA over 5 years ago, I was asked many times about the goals that I wanted to achieve here. I gave many answers, but none of them included the words "diversity" or "inclusion".
But that changed based on three distinct experiences. First, we had an alarming lack of diversity in teams leading our mission proposals. With a couple of exceptions in planetary science, we did not have a single mission proposal in the rest of the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) led by a female scientist, and that had been going on for several years. Additionally, mission teams were a lot less diverse than our community, perpetuating a lack of diversity even further.
Second, I witnessed instances in our own SMD leadership team that made me believe that we were caught in a situation that often leads to utter mediocracy – something known as "group-think". I observed that important discussions did not happen and that diverse viewpoints were not heard. Even if there was some diversity in the room in terms of gender, race, etc. – these voices were not included in many of the discussions generally.
Third, roundtable discussions were implemented with early career scientists in all disciplinary communities and I was shocked by the prevalence of problems surrounding sexual harassment and just horrible experiences of biases many of our female colleagues were experiencing. There were stories I heard that literally took my sleep. It is tough to hear these stories as a father of a daughter interested in science.
We had some major problems that were holding us back from being a welcoming community, but equally importantly problems that prohibited us from getting to a standard of excellence that was otherwise possible.
It was important and urgent to embark on a journey of change. But the first challenge on this journey was one that led to one of my biggest mistakes: We needed to convince members of our team and the entire science community that we had this big problem. And I needed to do that the way scientists do – by using data!
Even though I was convinced from the beginning that we needed to focus on diversity in all dimensions, I focused my "proof of problem" and overall narrative on only one aspect of diversity – a focus on our female colleagues. Frankly, we did not have any data in NASA Science programs and competitions focused on this broader issue and the only thing we could do on the short time-scale required by the urgency of this challenge was to infer gender from names.
It was straight-forward to demonstrate the devastating impact of our implicit and explicit biases if 50% of the US was not represented in many teams, or if not one female principal investigator (PI) could be found in a research community consisting of 25-35%+ female colleagues.
I started talking about this and we started to make changes. But, I missed the importance of good language as we moved forward and fell into the trap of over-focusing on gender diversity problems in all my talks and writings. There is an important truth for all leaders: Our words matter. My failure to broaden both narratives and actions resulted in a sense in our community of color that we did not care about them in NASA's Science Program. Similarly, our LGBTQ+ colleagues also did not see themselves in our narratives and neither did other communities. I had tidally missed the boat despite good intentions.
It took lots of engagement, mentorship and help from some of our team members as well as from trusted community members to actively and consistently helped address and mitigate my mistake. Thank you to each person who pushed to get us on the track we are on today in improving the way we welcome and include individuals from all communities into NASA Science.
We are still on this journey today. We have changed policies about how we handle harassment – we did so as an agency. We have added training, new policies and are having discussions and have made changes across our programs – from science proposals to standing review boards – to flatten the playing fields and make better decisions. We have experimented with new ways of selecting worthwhile proposals, including dual-anonymous peer reviews that have identified and removed or eliminated a number of biases. We keep experimenting and learning.
For example, No Due-Date (NDD) programs in Planetary Science launched with the release of ROSES 2021 resulted from researcher input into challenges faced during the COVID pandemic. NDD seeks to allow individual PIs the opportunity to better achieve work-life balance and to give smaller institutions with a less-robust proposal support system greater flexibility in submitting proposals. Noting the huge importance of our funding programs for the entire science community, we are also experimenting also with Inclusion Plans to put focus on these important issues. Furthermore, we are making an effort to increase partnerships across institutions to provide additional opportunities for engagement and increasing diversity of thought. Listening sessions at Minority-Serving Institutions and targeted activities in partnership with affinity groups help broaden our footprint across the research and academic landscape.
Although we have made some significant progress in parts of our ecosystem, we cannot be happy with where we are. We will continue to lend our voice and focus actions towards building a better science and technology community around NASA. For that, we need amazing vision, incredible perseverance, and follow-through, but – most importantly – the best and most capable teams we can build in all of that. And I already observe today, and I believe we will see even more clearly as we go forward, that some of the best teams are composed of wonderful individuals who never had a place in them in the past.

Hot News from Parker Solar Probe
I'm happy to announce today that for the first time ever, a spacecraft has "touched" the Sun. Three years after launch, our Parker Solar Probe has now flown within the Sun's inner corona, sampling particles and fields still bound to the Sun's atmosphere.
This monumental achievement is more than 60 years in the making, the goal of a mission concept and dreams of scientists that predate NASA itself. Just as the Moon landings revolutionized our ability to study the Moon and our solar system, our first close encounter with our star marks the beginning of a new phase in solar science, one where we can ask and answer questions that had previously been out of reach.
This milestone is even more meaningful considering that this technologically-advanced spacecraft was named in honor of astrophysicist Dr. Eugene Parker. It is the first and only time a NASA spacecraft has a living individual as its namesake. I chose to advocate for naming this spacecraft after Dr. Parker as a testament to the importance of his entire body of work, work that I felt had been overlooked by many – even though it's hard to find a scientist with a bigger or broader impact on space science.
At the heart of this work is a story of pioneering science with much perseverance: In 1958, Dr. Parker, a humble but somewhat stubborn mid-westerner, published an article sharing his theory that high-speed matter and magnetic fields were constantly – and supersonically – escaping the Sun. He predicted that this constant torrent of what came to be known as solar wind affected all the planets and space throughout our solar system. This important prediction, and eventual confirmation, ultimately informed our understanding about how stars and other astrophysical objects throughout the whole universe interact with the worlds and space around them. Not only did Dr. Parker's work introduce a new field of science, he inspired my own research as well as crucial science questions that NASA continues to study to this day. More than 20 missions in heliophysics, planetary sciences, and astrophysics currently focus on scientific fields he significantly affected. Adding Parker Solar Probe to Dr. Parker's legacy is among my proudest accomplishments and one that is meaningful to me even today.
What it means to "touch" the Sun requires some defining, since the Sun doesn't have a solid crust like Earth. But it does have an invisible boundary where solar material stops being "stuck" to the Sun, and instead is free to decouple from its source and escape outward as the constantly streaming solar wind. We call this boundary the Alfvén critical surface, named after the Swedish scientist and Nobel Prize winner who made many notable contributions to plasma physics. At the Alfven surface, the solar wind begins to travel faster than the speed of the waves that can couple the wind to the surface of the Sun – which implies a speed where the solar material is traveling fast enough that it can decouple from its source in the solar atmosphere. Freed, the solar wind can now escape into space.
We have long known the Alfvén critical surface exists, but not exactly where it was located or what was within it. Based on remote images of the corona, as well as solar wind measurements in space, estimates had put the boundary somewhere between 10 to 20 solar radii (4.3 to 8.6 million miles) from the photosphere, or solar surface. But we've never had a spacecraft close enough to confirm those estimates and we have never gotten close enough to see what's on the other side.
During Parker's eighth flyby of the Sun on April 28, 2021, the spacecraft passed within 18.8 solar radii (8.127 million miles) of the photosphere when it detected the conditions scientists had long awaited. Parker was passing through what's known as a pseudostreamer, a giant magnetic loop that extended from the corona, when the magnetic field intensified and particle speeds slowed. A combination of measurements from multiple sensors revealed that Parker had indeed crossed the Alfvén critical surface and was sampling particles that were not part of the supersonic solar wind, but the slower-moving solar atmosphere itself.
So what are we seeing on the other side? For one thing, an answer to a question that Parker Solar Probe identified soon after it launched: What is causing mysterious hairpin bends in the solar wind called "switchbacks"? We have known about switchbacks since the NASA/ESA Ulysses mission in the mid-90s, which observed S-shaped kinks in the solar wind where the Sun's magnetic field abruptly reversed direction like a magnetic zig-zag. Due to assumptions that the solar wind was fairly stationary, we had suspected these switchbacks were relatively rare phenomena restricted to the Sun's polar regions.
In 2019, Parker upended those assumptions when it revealed that switchbacks were plentiful in the solar wind, even in regions far from the solar poles. The new observations suggested that switchbacks would tell us more about the Sun than we had expected – but how and where they formed remained unknown.
Parker's close pass within the solar atmosphere got us close enough to find out. On its sixth flyby, Parker measured clusters of switchbacks and found that the percentage of helium in them matched the composition of solar material at the photosphere, the solar surface. During the same flyby, a different analysis showed that the switchbacks were aligned with magnetic "funnels" in the photosphere. Together, these facts suggest that the switchbacks start near the solar surface, a dynamic, roiling region of solar material and magnetic field that looks somewhat like a searing frying pan of oil at home.
Parker will continue orbiting even closer to the Sun on upcoming flybys, reaching as close as 8.86 solar radii (3.83 million miles) from the surface at its closest approach. The next perihelion in January 2022 will likely pass through the solar atmosphere, the corona once more – meaning we are now in a very exciting time for solar science, a time when we can directly sample the Sun itself. This opens a whole new realm of solar and heliospheric science!
Finally, I want to thank Dr. Eugene Parker for the time he took with me and so many other early career scientists over 20 years ago. May we all take his intellectual courage and steadfast perseverance as an example for us as we move into the new era of science enabled by these new data. And let's also learn from Parker's senior colleagues who were less than welcoming of new thought when as an early career scientist, Parker brought forward his novel ideas about the solar wind and its embedded magnetic field. Instead, let's celebrate new thought and insights, especially if they come from new community members!

Sudhir Ruparelia from Uganda is the second richest African businessman in terms of real estate. He has a net worth of $US 1.1 billion and he is the majority shareholder of the companies in the Ruparelia Group, including the real estate company Meera Investments, a company which invests on property development and construction in Uganda's capital, Kampala.
He is followed by Egypt's Samih Sawiris. The head of Orascom Development which specializes in building resorts in Egypt, the Middle East, Montenegro and Switzerland, has a net worth estimated at $US 1.5 billion. Sawiris also owns about 10 percent of the construction firm OCI N.V. which was founded by his father and is currently run by his brother Nassef.
Another Moroccan has made it to the list. Anas Sefrioui, the head of the homebuilding company Group Addoha, has focused his property business on building low-cost housing for Moroccans. Sefrioui, whose net worth is estimated at $US 1.1 billion, has announced plans to expand across Africa including Mali, Ghana, and Chad.

S*X FOR MARKS: HOW I WAS SET UP BY STUDENT AND CULTISTS – LECTURER CRIES OUT

S*X FOR MARKS: HOW I WAS SET UP BY STUDENT AND CULTISTS – LECTURER CRIES OUT MP3 Download
A lecturer who was accused of demanding s*x in exchange for marks, has opened up about the allegations.
EKSU
A lecturer at the Ekiti State University(EKSU), Ado Ekiti , Dr. Olaleye Aduwo, who was alleged to have been involved in "sex for mark� scandal, on Monday denied attempting to have canal knowledge of the said female student, The Nation reports.
The lecturer in a 29-second video that went viral about a month ago, was accused of attempting to sexually exploit one of his students for marks.
In the footage, the lecturer was tortured, harassed and dehumanized by people brought by the lady with mention.
Since the incident happened, the lecturer has kept mute on the issue, except the defence he presented before the panel set up by Ekiti State University to investigate the matter, which was gleaned through some sources provided to the closed-door interaction.
Speaking with journalists in Ado Ekiti on Monday, Aduwo, in an emotion-laden, expressed regret over the issue, which he claimed was a deliberate attempt to smear his hard-earned integrity and reputation.
He said: "though the incident came to me as a surprise and it is still under investigation. I urge members of the public to disregard any misleading information circulated on social media as such was not true.
"There was nothing about sex allegation, claiming that he was set-up to rubbish by the lady�.
Speaking further, Aduwo added: "The lady in question was more or less like a daughter and a friend to my own daughter hence, I couldn't have asked her for sex.
"On the said day, some unknown hoodlums suspected to be cultists, numbering about 15 suddenly invaded my house along Ikere Road, Ado Ekiti through the connivance of the lady in question, to molest me.
"I had just shared dinner with my friend, Mr Allen Akinmudiro, co-inhabitant in the same flat when the incident happened around 10 pm in my living room.
"The female student in question who is a friend to my own daughter arrived the house and took part in the dinner with me and Mr Akinmudiro, but neither did I know that she had an ulterior motive.
"After the meal, the lady signalled to the hoodlums who wasted no time as they stormed my house, rough-handled me, stripped me naked right in my sitting room with my friend Allen and subjected me to serious tortures, using electric device, and they beat me with harmful objects�.
He claimed that the hoodlums came into the house with guns and other dangerous weapons, saying he had no choice than to obey their instructions so as not to endanger his life.
Aduwo noted that all efforts by the landlord and neighbours to rescue him failed as they were threatened with guns and had to run for their lives.
He maintained that the issue was a clear assault and not sex for mark as widely circulated.

In this series on "Big Fat Planet," we answer reader-submitted questions about Earth's climate. The following is from Dr. Duane Waliser, who specializes in climate dynamics and modeling. He is the chief scientist of JPL's Earth Science and Technology Directorate and an adjunct professor in the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Department at UCLA.
Question: How is climate change shaping the type of space exploration NASA does?
As global climate change becomes more evident, NASA's satellite program for studying and monitoring our home planet becomes increasingly important. There are two key areas toward which NASA satellite measurements can contribute:
1. Monitoring changes in the Earth's climate. Global climate change occurs slowly relative to weather and even to the change of seasons throughout the year. Changes known to be related to global climate change--increased atmospheric carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (including water vapor), sea level rise, and the melting of Arctic sea ice and the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets--are so gradual that it takes many years, even decades, to characterize and quantify them.
Given that satellite missions typically last on the order of three to 10 years, NASA often needs to consider launching copies of some instruments, as current versions age and fail. Continuity in our satellite observations is important for maintaining long records of key climate indicators, such as those listed above. Having long and continuous records of these is critical for monitoring the effects of climate change, helping determine how we can best adapt to them, and assessing whether measures to limit its effects are working as expected.
2. Improving our understanding of global climate change key processes. Simply monitoring some of the climate change indicators listed above doesn't provide enough information for scientists to fully understand and characterize the problem and consequences.
For example, only observing sea level rise doesn't illuminate all the key processes that might be involved in determining the rate at which it is rising; these include sea level rise, the melting of ice sheets and glaciers, warming of the ocean, the continents' and shorelines' slow response to ice sheet melting and sea level rise, etc. Similarly, it is critical to understand how water vapor and clouds respond to climate change, as these help determine the amount of future temperature warming that might be expected to result from increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Knowing "how the Earth's climate works" is vital to making projections of future warming and the associated impacts using very sophisticated computer models of the Earth's climate. For such projections to be useful, they have to accurately represent the Earth's climate system.
Thus, some of NASA's satellite program focuses on developing new observations to illuminate how the Earth's climate system works and to reduce uncertainties in global models used for climate projection.

The Reconstruction of Political Economy: Alternative, Parallel Paths to Rediscovering the Distinctively Classical Surplus Approach
Mathew Forstater
Part of the Levy Institute Advanced Research in Economic Policy book series (LAREP)
Jan Kregel has been an important contributor and participant in virtually every major debate and discussion concerning economic theory and policy in the last forty years. Known around the world for his razor-sharp analytical acumen, encyclopedic knowledge of economic history and the history of economic doctrine, non-dogmatic approach to the most difficult questions in political economy and creative synthesis of theoretical and institutional analysis, Kregel has successfully tackled issues ranging from capital theory and the uncertainty of investor expectations to value theory and monetary policy; from the special challenges of developing and transitional economies to the analysis of the stock market and financial fragility; and from the complex philosophical problems of method to the pragmatic difficulties regarding economic policy.

Burger House is on 29th Drive, across the street from a Putt-Putt golf course. According to its ad in the yellow pages, it's been around since 1964. It's so out-of-place and hopeless in this world of fast food giants that I can't help but love it. When I asked the high school girl inside if I could take some pictures, she said "I don't know. That means, I don't care.

Rubber And Guttapercha
This section is from the book "American Library Edition Of Workshop Receipts", by Ernest Spon. Also available from Amazon: American Library Edition Of Workshop Receipts.
(a) In making a cement one should know pretty thoroughly what is to be expected of it before they could advise upon it. For instance, an ordinary rubber cement will hold on a host of different surfaces and with the best 5 of success, except where there is continued dampness. For holding to damp walls, or surfaces where there is a constant pressure of moisture there is nothing equal to Jeffrey's marine glue, the formula for which has been published and republished all over the world. It consists of - 1 part rubber, 12 parts coal tar, and 2 parts asphal-tum. The rubber, after having been massed, is dissolved in the undistilled coal tar, and the asphaltum is then added. This glue, as its name indicates, is oftentimes used for mending articles at sea, or patches, for instance, that are to be laid on surfaces that are to be under water, and it has been found to be a most excellent thing.
(6) Of glass cements there are a great many, rubber as a rule being dissolved in some very vo!atile solvent and some hard drying gum is added.
(c) A guttapercha cement for leather is obtained by mixing the following. It is used hot. Guttapercha, 100 parts; black pitch or asphaltum, 100 parts; oil of turpentine, 15 parts.
(d) An elastic guttapercha cement especially useful for attaching the soles of boots and shoes, as on account of its great elasticity it is not liable to break or crack when bent. To make it adhere tightly, the surface of the leather is slightly roughened. It is prepared by dissolving 10 parts guttapercha in 100 of benzine. The clear solution from this is then poured into another bottle containing 100 parts linseed oil varnish and well shaken together.
(e) Good rubber cement for sheet rubber, or for attaching rubber, material of any description or shape to metal, may be made by softening and dissolving shellac in 10 times its weight of water of ammonia. A transparent mass is thus obtained, which, after keeping 3 or 4 weeks, becomes liquid, and may be used without requiring heat. When applied, it will be found to soften the rubber; but when the ammonia has evaporated, it forms a kind of hard coat, and causes it to become impervious to gases as well as liquids.
(f) Davy's universal cement is made by melting 4 parts common pitch with 4 of guttapercha in an iron vessel, and mixing well. It must be kept fluid, under water, or in a dry, hard state.
(g) A very adhesive cement, especially a lapted for leather driving belts, is made by taking bisulphide of carbon 10 parts, oil of turpentine 1 part, and dissolving in this sufficient guttapercha to form a paste. The manner of using this cement is to remove any grease that may be present on the leather by placing on the leather a piece of rag and then rubbing it over with a hot iron. The rag thus absorbs the grease, and the two pieces are then roughened and the cement lightly spread on. The two pieces are then joined, and subjected till dry to a slight pressure.
(A) A solution of guttapercha for shoemakers is made by taking pieces of waste guttapercha, first prepared by soaking in boiling water till soft. It is then cut into small pieces, placed in a vessel, covered with coal tar oil, tightly corked to prevent evaporation, and allowed to stand for 24 hours. It is next melted by standing in hot water till perfectly fluid, and well stirred. Before using it must be warmed as before, by standing in hot water.
(i) A cement for uniting rubber is composed as follows: 100 parts finely chopped rubber, 15 of resin, 10 of shellac; these are dissolved in bisulphide of carbon.
(f) Another rubber cement is made of 15 gr. rubber, 2 oz. chloroform, 4 dr. mastic; first mix the rubber and chloroform together, and when dissolved the mastic is added in powder. It is then allowed to stand by for a week or two before using.
(A) Cement for sticking on leather patches and for attaching rubber soles to boots and shoes is prepared from virgin or native rubber, by cutting it into small pieces or shredding it up; a bottle is filled with this to about 1-10th of its capacity; benzine is then poured on till about 3/4 full, but be certain that the benzine is free from oil. It is then kept till thoroughly dissolved, and of a thick consistency. If it turns out too thick or thin, suitable quantities must be added of either material to make as required.
(l) An elastic cement is made by mixing together and allowing to dissolve the following: 4 oz. bisulphide of carbon, 1 oz. fine rubber, 2 dr. isinglass, 1/2 oz. guttapercha. This cement is usea for cementing leather and rubber, and when to be used the leather is roughened and a thin coat of the cement is applied. It is allowed to completely dry, when the two surfaces to be joined are warmed and then placed together and allowed to dry.
(m) Cement used for repairing holes in rubber boots and shoes is made of the following solution: (1) Caoutchouc 10 parts, chloroform 280 parts. This is simply prepared by allowing the caoutchouc to dissolve in the chloroform. (2) Caoutchouc 10 parts, resin 4 parts, gum turpentine 40 parts. Fcr this solution the caoutchouc is shaved into small pieces and melted up with the resin, the turpentine is then added, and all is then dissolved in the oil of turpentine. The two solutions are then mixed together. To repair the shoe with this cement, first wash the hole over with it, then a piece of linen dipped in it is placed over it; as soon as the linen adheres to the sole, the cement is applied as thickly as required. (Chem. Trade Jl.)
(3). The following metallic cement for repairing broken stone was, according to Professor Brune, of the School of Fine Arts, used in the restoration of the colonnade of the Louvre, of the Pont Neuf, and of the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers. It consists of a powder and a liquid. The powder: - 2 parts by weight of oxide of zinc, 2 of crushed grit, the whole intimately mixed and ground. Ochre in suitable proportions is added as a colouring matter. The liquid: - A saturated solution of zinc in commercial hydrochloric acid, to which is added a quantity by weight, of hydrochlorate of ammonia equal to one-sixth that of the dissolved zinc. This liquid is diluted With two-thirds of its bulk of water To use the cement, 1 lb. of the powder is to be mixed with 2} pints of the liquid. The cement hardens very quickly and is very strong.

Dahari
By Kim Reuter on March 10, 2015
Dahari shapes sustainable and productive landscapes with Comorian communities.
Supporting lemur conservation in the Comoros.
Dahari is the only Lemur Conservation Network member undertaking lemur-related work in the Comoros, a small nation to the west of the northern tip of Madagascar, and the only place where lemurs can be found naturally outside of Madagascar. As part of their work, the organization undertakes a broad range of conservation-related programming, livelihood improvement with local communities, ecotourism projects, and habitat protection work.
What lemur species does Dahari protect?
Dahari undertakes habitat protection and ecotourism work in the Moya forest area on the southern island of Anjouan. Here, the organization has been working to protect the mongoose lemur (Eulemur mongoz) since November 2014.
Mongoose Lemur Research Project
Since November 2014, Dahari has been undertaking a research project on the Mongoose Lemur. This project aims to compare the genetic material of the mongoose lemurs of Madagascar and of Anjouan (Comoros) to find out whether the genetic diversity of the two populations is sufficient to ensure the species' survival.
This initiative – being undertaken in partnership with the Madagascar Biodiversity Partnership and Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium and funded by Conservation International, the Primate Action Fund, and the Margot Marsh biodiversity fund – will help determine the best way to target conservation programs for this species. Further research and conservation programs will be identified once this initial research has been completed.
As a development and conservation NGO, Dahari has a wide range of activities with local communities, including habitat protection actions that will benefit the Mongoose lemur.
Agricultural work
Since 2008, Dahari has supported over 2500 farmers innine villages around the Moya forest in the south of Anjouan to improve their agricultural yields and revenues. The NGO proposes techniques that restore and maintain fertility to improve yields in the long-term, whilst also making agricultural practices more compatible with forest conservation. Dahari benefits from the technical support of the Centre International pour la Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement (CIRAD) on its rural development work.
Participatory conservation of the Livingstone's fruit bat
Since September 2014, Dahari has been running a conservation program for the Livingstone fruit bat (Pteropus livingstonii), an endangered species endemic to Anjouan and Moheli islands in the Comoros. The conservation program is implemented in partnership with local communities in order to protect the roost sites of the bat by finding solutions that allow the villagers and the Livingstone's fruit bat to live alongside each other, without the needs of one hindering those of the other.
Supporting communities with water management and reforestation
The Comoros suffered from the highest rate of deforestation in the world between 2000 and 2010 according to UN figures. This has had a huge impact on soil fertility and water availability – 30 of 45 permanent rivers on Anjouan now flow intermittently. Dahari is therefore developing a reforestation program and a water management project in partnership with local communities on the island of Anjouan.

It's that moment of the fire's spreading, the sheer speed of it that I remember most clearly, watching from the crest of a hill that stretched up from the drive where the fire struck, and I was able to do nothing. It moved so eerily along a straight line, not just along the ground but forming a plane upward, a sheet of it raging through the air, dwarfing the boys in its path as they leaned over the engine of a battered mustang, the car resting on the dirt gravel drive of an old country farmhouse, the sheet of fire rushing toward them in its perfectly straight path like some divine judgment on their having stolen those sheets from the clothesline of a neighbor to rip up and use as rags for cleaning the engine, an old wreck that someone had given them to fix up, if they could. The boys were cleaning blackened grease baked onto the car's ancient engine, dipping the rags first into a can of gasoline they'd found somewhere on this abandoned farm, its fields sprouting masses of golden-flowered dandelions, the grass of its yard grown knee-deep and seeded at the tips, the yard sloping up the knob of earth to the place where I sat, watching. I wasn't there for a reason, just nothing to do on a hot summer day but tag along with these boys I knew, sit outside in the scorching heat of a place different from my own oppressive back yard, reading a book or, tiring of that as I had, just watching the boys as they scrubbed down the engine, watching as from time to time they carried handfuls of the blackened rags across the field below to add them to an already smoldering pile.
The fire moved in the manner of its following a long fuse toward a detonator like I'd seen on TV, but faster, taller, the wall of it beginning at the edge of the field where the boys had lit the used rags on fire so that they wouldn't be caught for having stolen the sheets they'd torn up. It wasn't like an explosion altogether but an event that happened within a moment, slowed down just enough to see where it began and ended, from the burning rags, across the otherwise verdant open field, toward the car where the boys worked, their heads lowered over the engine beneath the rusted upraised hood. It was a wall of orange flame slicing through the air in its perfect plane toward the car, and there was a sound it made, a low whooshing, like a quick exhalation, as though it were the voice of something trying to speak.
I screamed when I saw it happening, but the scream, too, must have taken time to reach them, some portion of a second from where I was. I saw them jerk backward away from the engine, which must not have been from the scream but from the force of the fire erupting before them. That explosion must have made a sound, something loud and horrible, but I can't remember, can see only the boys' heads flaming, hear them screaming as they ran, flinging their arms and their hands at the torches of their heads to beat out the flames, but of course their limbs were coated in gasoline atop the thick greasy sludge of the car's engine and they too ignited, and then the boys dove into the grass, rolling.
By the time I could run to them, they'd extinguished their own flames, and the three of them lay on the ground, forming pockets in the overgrown grass, two of them moaning, the other silent. Squatting beside the motionless one, I placed my palms down onto sheaves of the tall grass, leaning forward as I shook all over, listening for the sound of his breathing, which was hard to hear over the sound of my own heart, huge and violent inside me, pounding as though it were trying to get out of me.
I remember the smell of seared flesh and hair, running for help and then returning, sitting amid their bodies in the grass, hugging my arms around my knees and talking to them without knowing if they could hear me.
I shivered within my sweat-dampened clothing despite the waning heat of the afternoon. Watching the final weak flames lapping at the blackened carcass of the old car, looking back and forth from the car to the place where the boys had lit the rags on fire, the grass barely singed in the space between them, I pictured again that sheet of flames surging through the air, thinking how much more formidable it must have seemed from below.
But the worst part of all is in the way I remember those boys from the fire. In the end they recovered quickly—the scarring minimal and their hair grown back by the next time I saw them—and when we spoke, it seemed that the boys had nearly forgotten the event. It was only me who didn't, me who still remembers the way I found them, blackened and sounding barely alive, me remembering the fire with horror and fascination.

For all subjects dealing with the War to End All Wars.
I found some old 1/72-1/76 Royal Army figures from long ago (MPC? Airfix?). I painted a few as a kid. What colors were Royal Army uniforms and straps and belts, etc. I am not looking to win a contest but want to know how to make them accurate using the 3-foot rule.
Suggest that you Google for images "First World War British Uniforms". I just got two screens full of images - not all of them useful, but many.
Don't know what year(s) you want to portray or whether infantry, cavalry or artillery. Royal Marines and Royal Naval Division also fought during most of the land campaigns of WW1.
I have a lot of stored images on an external hard drive but I'm in the process of moving all files to a new computer, so temporarily unavailable.
More than willing to help if I can, but it would be useful to be more specific.

Review | Pewdiepie's Tuber Simulator
By Ben Bayliss On Sep 29, 2016 0
At some point in your life you've probably watched your favourite YouTuber – be that vlogger, gamer, beauty artist, pranker, etc – and dreamt about becoming the next big thing on the Online world. Now you can, thanks to Pewdiepie's Tuber Simulator.
Pewds introduces you around, then vanishes.
Okay, admittedly this isn't a real, quick-rise-to-fame system, but Pewdiepie, and Outer Minds have come together to create, Pewdiepie's Tuber Simulator, which gives you a sort of an insight into what it would be like to run your own YouTu…Tuber channel.
Your stats screen shows everything you wanna know, including your most watched videos!
Available for free on mobile devices, Pewdiepie's Tuber Simulator brings a fantastically polished, retro pixelated simulator to the hands of the mobile gaming generation.
Initially, when the game begins, you are introduced to Pewdiepie, in the form of a more advanced Paper clip from Word. He's there in the corner of your device, chattering away through a text box explaining what you have to do, what buttons do what, and occasionally gets some bragging rights into the mix, such as subscriber counts, money, etc. He does hang around for a while, to explain various areas of the interface, but it doesn't grow boring, it's actually a really focused tutorial that not only explains the aspects of the game very well, but it also captures Pewdiepie's Online personality very well.
Decorating your room with specific items will level up that specifc category
The general aim of the game is simply, become the bestest, most-amazingest, popularist, "Tuber" the world has even seen. Tuber is the term used throughout the game to avoid copyright infringements clearly. There's a part of the tutorial where Pewdiepie – jokingly – nearly utters the words, YouTube, but
You start of in what looks like my Mother's basement. Leave Mum alone please.
stops himself. In order to gain Tuber fame, you have several things to do.
"I'm still going through the game slowly, but even during shopping, or having a bath, I find it very easy to pick up and play for even a few seconds."
There's the main hub, your "Room" view, which acts as your "set" standard screen. From this screen you can see your Tuber sat at a cardboard desk, with a chunky computer monitor atop it, surrounded by two walls in the background and the two foreground walls invisible. It's a small space to begin, but as you progress you can expand the size of your room. There's a shop feature where you can purchase items for your room by using "views" as currency. To begin, Pewdiepie gives you a webcam for free – because he's loaded with dolla dolla – to allow you to start making videos, and you are given the option to place it wherever you please, which, in terms of placement is actually very precise. I was expecting, for example, a room sporting a 5×5 block placement and bigger items taking up more empty blocks. As it turns out, there are no blocks, you can literally move an item, pixel-by-pixel. This really impressed me.
Along the bottom of the screen are the five areas to visit within the game. I'll start with the first and explain and go on from there.
This area is where you create your content. You'll see what video catergories are currently trending, indicating that if you create a video using that catergory, you'll generate views and subscribers. There's a "Boost" button that implements a rather clever advertisement system. I'll explain that a bit later. As for the actual system itself, it increases your views for the video(s) you're creating at the time. Then you've got the actual, "Make a Video" buttons, there are three, although for a fair few levels you can only make one video per creation. When you tap the wonderful green button, you're given three choices of videos with titles you'd expect to see in reality, but you are able to rename them if your desire. Each choice has two categories. And example, Kicked in the Groin – REMIX will have the music category, and the sports category. Choices containing trending topics will flash. There's also a time under the title, this tells you how long it's going to take to make that chosen video, and these are real time…times. 1m 59s for a video on drinking bleach!? While the green progress bar fills, you can see a views counter rising. At the end of the video, you then get a subscriber count. Click claim, you add that to your profile stats.Knowledge Tree
This is essentially just a perks screen. Every time your Tuber levels up you will get brains, you use those brains to upgrade your perks. Gain more subscribers to unlock more perks.
This is where you spend ya' dolla. Along the top you've got buttons, starting with video category items, Tuber customization, which relates to clothes, desks, lights, etc. Affordable Items which basically shows you what you can afford. Filters, which filters to specific items, such as floors, chairs, teddies, etc. And then whatever your level, an area to show you what you unlocked. When you level up, if you come here you have to tap to unlock them all. Items are purchased by using "Views"
This is where you can take part in online activities online, such as connecting with friends also on the game, taking part or viewing current events.
These are basically achievements, upload so many videos, get a few brains, subscribers, and BUX. Once quests have been completed they require you to wait several hours, maybe even ten hours, but some allow you to spend BUX to refill the quest.
That's about it for the buttons along the bottom. At the top left there's a, "BUX" button, these dollar bills can be used to spend on furniture in the Tuber Customization area, but are very slow to earn, and as a result you are offered the chance to spend real world money to buy in-game money. The highest amount being 79.99 for 14500 BUX. No thanks. Also along the top, there is a constant view of your views and subscribers, and then if any of the buttons at the bottom aren't selected, you can visit your profile and stats area.
There are also several options for upgrading your Tuber's appearance, some are free, others will cost you BUX, which can become rather tedious as BUX are hard to obtain unless you want to fork our actual money. However, the options that are available to purchase are quite vast, there's a good collection of items.
"Pewdiepie's Tuber Simulator is incredibly in-depth, I feel like a proper YouTuber now. Triggered."
EAGLE! Flies overhead and drops bonuses if you click it and watch and advert
When you purchase an item, you have to wait for shipping before it arrives, this can take a while, which is why I'm happy the game runs in the background and notifies you when your item has arrived. Three taps on the box and your item is where you placed it prior to purchasing. If you're bored though, you can reduce the time of shipping by playing, "PUGGLE" which from the name, you'd be right in guessing it's inspired by Peggle. Launch Edgar, or Maya down a wall of pins, hitting multipliers and possibly landing in a big multiplier at the bottom. Time gets passed quicker if you do well, or you can just wait like a patient person. Alternatively you can pay one BUX to instantly deliver, or click boost and watch an advert.
The event going on at launch was showcasing peoples rooms. Look at this guy…must have paid for it with money.
You can put items you no longer want out in your room into your inventory, and you can even add up too two more rooms on top of your current! There's a ranking system available to view, and features a load of famous Tuber's being featured.
What I find interesting is the Advert system. Rather than randomly popping up and disrupting your game, you can activate one ad to play, and in return you'll gain some in game views, reduce shipping time, and whatever else the game decides to offer you!
PUGGLE! This is a great time waster and a time drainer.
Graphically the game is very vibrant, with a pixel art theme, and hosts a nice retro feel throughout. The interface is laid out in a very easy-to-follow way, and it's easy to remember where things are. When it comes to the audio, the sound effects are simply, keyboard clacking, popping when changing menus, and the music – which I had to tick to allow – is quite chilled out, with some fluttering of dramatic moments. Basically, the music is actually rather catchy, although I personally enjoy the game more with just the sound effects, but that could just be because I was introduced to the game with the music turned off.
"Crazy cat videos, squirells humping trees, Pewdiepie's Tuber Simulator seems to have it all, except 450fps slow mo 8K genitals smashed by baseball videos. Which is a good thing."
I think the game certainly has a few bad points, for example, I'm not a fan of how hard it is to earn BUX, which in turn will edge players closer to spending real money, although this point can't be seen as too much of a bad thing as the game itself is free, so you can pay for some BUX and feel like you're helping with supporting those involved. Although it would be nicer to earn BUX a slightly bit quicker. I'm not a fan of the zooming in and out of the room system, as it has potential to be a fluid, zoom rather than steps. I would have also liked to have some custom background option for the empty space around the room. There's an option to flip the screen horizontally, and snap a screenshot, but it doesn't seem to allow a save to camera roll, which is awkward. Finally, I am unsure how they would have gone with it, but a collab option could have been a fancy idea, and could have brought a few more faces to the game, guest apperance with Emma Blackery, or Jacksepticeye could rake in double views thanks to their fanbase.
Pewdiepie's Tuber Simulator is super fun, super addicting, and incredibly in-depth. The online option to share your room with other players is fantastic and ties the community together even more so. Everything runs smooth, everything feels right, and I can expect to see myself playing for many hours. Won't be long and I'll be better than Pewdiepie, and verified.
