Housekeepers are responsible for cleaning guest rooms. They make the beds, clean and vacuum, and replace used bathroom products. They are responsible for both cleaning rooms in use and completely cleaning and resetting checkout rooms. You can make magic by arranging stuffed animals, making towel art, and leaving notes for guests. You also make tips!
Hours: My friend who was a housekeeper worked five eight hour shifts each week for a total of 40 hours a week. She always worked morning shifts which are from 8am until 4:30pm. She was assigned ususally 14-16 rooms and if she finished early she could leave early (after being with the company for 90 days) or help other housekeers. Some CPs, though very few, work only PM shifts (usually you work one or the other) where they are runners and bring guests what they need when they call to the front desk.
Just as you would expect lifeguards work at the pool keeping people safe. They also sometimes do some of the recreation jobs when they're overstaffed or recreation is understaffed. They also help with cleaning the pool area. They have the most comfortable costumes!
Hours: The number of hours mostly depends on your location and season, though most lifeguards get close to the full 40 hours each week. They can work six, eight, or ten hour shifts rotating between positions around the pool.
Cons: You can work long hours and the job can quickly become repetitive or boring, dealing with emergency situations can be freightening.
Quick service is Disney's title for fast food. QSFB cast members rotate between a number of positions during their shift including: cashier, bussers, friers and other food prep, stocker (refilling cups, silverware, etc), and more.
Hours: All my quick service friends always got 40 hours or more. They were able to pick up shifts anywhere and it was easy for them to give away shifts. Also QSFB cast members working in Magic Kingdom make an extra 25 cents.

How to send money to Finland
Study the competition, create an account
If you wish to send money to Finland, either as an individual or a business, you get several options from which to choose.
Selecting the best one requires that you take a close look at what the top names have to offer, while also accounting for your specific needs.
Once you make your decision, create a new account.
This might require that you provide details from a valid ID document such as a passport or a driver's license.
Check the exchange rate history, set up your transfer
Establish if sending money to Finland is a good idea after you look at historical EUR rates, as this gives you an idea of where the market currently stands.
Tell your service provider how much money you wish to send and request a rate quote to set up your transfer.
Finalize the transfer by accepting the quote and locking the rate.
Your service provider will also require the receiver's Finnish bank account details.
Going through with the transfer
Your service provider is essentially an intermediary that assists you in transferring money to Finland. First, you pay for your transfer.
Only after receiving your payment will your service provider send money to the recipient's bank account.
The company should notify you of the estimated turnaround time in advance.
You might receive email/text notification informing you of the transfer's progress. Using your service provider's website is another way to keep track of your transfer.
What kind of money does Finland use? The euro (EUR) is the official currency of Finland. The Finnish markka (FIM) was used as the official currency of Finland from 1860 to February 2002, when it was replaced by the euro. One euro is divided into 100 cents.
If you plan to send money to a Finnish bank account, you will need the bank's SWIFT code. The corresponding table lists SWIFT codes of come popular banks in Finland.

Emilia relocated from Finland to the U.S. after finding a suitable job there. Her sister was in college in Finland, and hoped to join Emilia in a year or two.

The corresponding table shows how the best from both realms fared against each other.

Safety Tips for Picking Up Cash in Finland
Crime levels in Finland are low. Instances of petty crime such as bag snatching and pickpocketing are typically reported during the tourist season. Exercise caution when using ATMs. Remain vigilant on trams, at Helsinki's railway station, on the metro, and in crowded areas.
What Information Do I Need to Transfer Money to Finland?
You may send money to Finland in different ways, and the information you need to provide depends on the desired transfer method.
Sending to a bank account. The information you need to keep close at hand includes the recipient's complete name and account number as well as the receiving bank's name and SWIFT code.
Sending to a cash pickup center. You might need to provide the location of a desired cash pickup center along with the recipient's complete name. To collect the cash, the recipient will need to provide a reference number and a valid form of photo ID.
Regulations When Transferring Money To and From Finland
As part of Eurozone's single currency system, Finland does not have its own currency controls or regulations in place. Suomen Pankki (the central bank of Finland) is responsible for overseeing the country's payment systems, and the country follows the single monetary policy set by the European Central Bank (ECB).
Financial institutions in Finland are required to report transfers that exceed €15,000. Transfers of more than €10,000 are reported to European Union authorities. While you may carry any amount in and out of the country, amounts of over €10,000 need to be reported to relevant authorities.

(En - 01 Nov 2013) US to expedite delivery of V-22 Osprey aircraft to Israel
The US will fast-track delivery of six V-22 Osprey helicopter-plane aircraft to Israel, US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said Thursday in his address to the Anti-Defamation League's centennial conference in New York.
NBC News reported that the Pentagon agreed to send Israel the next batch of Ospreys to come off the production line after Israel requested this week that the delivery of the aircraft be expedited amid threats from Iran and Syria.
The next group of Ospreys had originally been slated for assignation to the US Marines, a Pentagon official told NBC.
"Israel will get six V-22s out of the next order to go on the assembly line, and they will be compatible with other [Israeli defense] capabilities," Hagel was quoted by NBC as saying at the ADL conference.
According to the report, Israel could receive the Ospreys, which take off vertically like a helicopter, but fly like a regular transport plane, in as soon as two years.
Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon and Hagel finalized the deal for the Ospreys during a visit by the US secretary of defense to the Jewish State in April. The deal is part of a wider $10 billion package involving US sales to Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, designed to provide Washington's allies in the region with enhanced military capabilities against Iran.
Israel will be the first foreign country to receive the V-22 Osprey from the US.
Ya'alon took a test flight on an Osprey during a visit to Washington in June, AFP reported at the time.
What makes the V-22 unique is its ability to take off vertically like a helicopter, with its rotors in an upright position, and then to shift the rotors 45 degrees downward, allowing it to fly like a regular transport plane, reaching speeds of up to 300 knots, almost double that of a helicopter.
The V-22 can transport 24 combat troops, or more than 9,000 kilograms of internal or external cargo, and has a range of more than 4,000 kilometers with a single aerial refueling.
The IAF has had its eye on the V-22, made by the Boeing Company and Bell Helicopter, for a number of years. The US has used the aircraft for operations in Afghanistan.
The IAF has looked at the Osprey as a complementary platform to assist in IAF search-and-rescue operations and in dropping special forces behind enemy lines.

Wisconsin winters are a force to be reckoned with. Last winter, I was always so worried that Carina would get cold in the middle of the night, and that if I had to take her out of her swaddle or sleep sack to change her diaper, she would most certainly freeze her tiny little bum off. I recently received an ingenious product that I think will assuage a lot of these fears during the almost-as-bad New England winters we are going to experience this year. It's called the gunapod, by gunamuna.
Gunamuna's Story: "We are 3 moms with 5 children among us. We tried other sleeping sacks and were frustrated. We need simple + easy. So we created gunapod to make our lives easier and our babies more comfortable. gunapod is made with the yummiest, coziest blanket fabric to keep your baby warm + comfortable with zippers galore. And gunapod offers a roomier fit — the ultimate true wearable blanket — for a happy baby. Turns out, all moms need simple + easy. So we're sharing gunapod with you".
The gunapod comes in three sizes: 3-9 Months, 9-18 Months, and 18-24 Months. Carina is pictured here in the 9-18 Month size. She loves how much space she has to kick her feet! She has never liked how her legs get constrained by other sleep sacks; you should see how much she struggles to try push them out sometimes. The gunapod gives her lots of room to flail her legs about as she pleases.
Carina loves to grab her toes, too, so we have found that unzipping the bottom keeps her very happy. Having a bottom zipper is also especially handy if you need to change a diaper in the middle of the night. No need to take the gunapod off…just unzip, change poopy dipe, zip back up!
I think that my favorite feature of the gunapod is the shoulder snaps. When I get Carina out of her crib every morning, she is usually quite fussy and gets flustered when I take her arms out of the sleep sack arm holes. With the gunapod, I just unsnap the shoulder snaps and slip her out…fuss free!
No more early morning fuss!
Thanks to these snaps and the all-around zipper, you are able to take the front of the gunapod off almost completely. We no longer have to worry about waking Carina up while trying to wrangle her into other sleep sacks! Just put the back of the gunapod down in the crib, but baby on top, and then snap and zip the front in place. Easy peasy.
The numerous configurations also make it simple to regulate your baby's temperature. Too hot? You can unzip the bottom, unsnap the top, unzip one (or both) of the sides. Too cold? Zip and snap back up. Keeping baby comfortable has never been easier.
Where have you been for the last 8 months, comfy cozy sack of wonder? I think the gunapod will be my new "go-to" baby shower gift.

Recalling that special girl
It was in October 1966 when I first saw her sitting near the stage of the Sumiton Middle School. She was in an antique dress and bonnet playing gospel songs on a pump organ that looked as if it came over on the Mayflower. Her teacher was a history buff and persuaded her to play for the fall history fair. She was thin as a reed and sat straight on the organ bench, pumping the air pedals with all the strength her small frame could muster. Her cousin introduced us. Her name was Jilda. We talked after her set, and I could tell there was something special about her. more

For a record-tying fifth time, the Long Beach Unified School District was honored among America's top urban school districts today during a ceremony in Washington, D.C.
LBUSD was recognized as one of the top five finalists for the national Broad Prize for Urban Education. As a finalist, LBUSD receives $250,000 in college scholarships for local students. The Aldine Independent School District outside Houston won the top prize of $1 million in scholarships.
Long Beach won the award in 2003 and is a five-time finalist. The latest $250,000 award brings the total amount of Broad Scholarships in Long Beach to nearly $1.4 million. Only Boston Public Schools share this five-year track record of excellence. The Broad Prize honors urban school districts that demonstrate the greatest overall performance and improvement in achievement for all students.
"Long Beach continues to be America's crown jewel of urban school districts, outperforming other urban districts year after year with its steady gains," said Eli Broad, founder of the prize. "We look forward to sharing Long Beach's ongoing best practices with school districts across the nation so millions more students benefit from the smart efforts that have arisen there."
Long Beach earned the finalist honor after national education experts sifted through thousands of pieces of data on student performance. Among the reasons Long Beach was selected is that its African-American, Latino and low-income students achieved higher average proficiency rates than their counterparts statewide in reading and math, and because the district continued to narrow achievement gaps that remain prevalent in many other school districts nationwide. Long Beach saw greater participation of minority students taking Advanced Placement exams and the SATs.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced the finalists at the U.S. Capitol, where LBUSD Superintendent of Schools Christopher J. Steinhauser participated in the ceremony.
"Being a five-time Broad Prize finalist confirms that the Long Beach community still believes in public education," Steinhauser said in a written release. "To be in the running again for this award is a testament to our heroic teachers, tireless support staff, administrators, parents, our 9,000 volunteers, our more than 1,100 business and community partners, our school board, our colleagues in higher education, civic leaders, service clubs and philanthropic foundations such as The Broad Foundation, insightful news media, local clergy, Realtors, retirees, and many others who share our commitment to kids and schools," Steinhauser said. "To all of them, we say thank you." See the superintendent's Press-Telegram commentary here.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi addressed the audience, saying "this is a great day for public schools and for celebrating your success." In the audience were several members of Congress along with more than 300 of the nation's leading educators and policy makers. Among them were members of LBUSD's school board.
The other finalists were school districts in Broward County, Fla.; Gwinnett County, Ga.; and Socorro, Texas.
NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT — The Long Beach Unified School District was honored among the top five school systems in the nation during a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol. Pictured are LBUSD Board of Education President Mary Stanton, philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad, Teachers Association of Long Beach First Vice President Virginia Torres and Superintendent Chris Steinhauser with the Broad Prize trophy.

Cobra Biologics expands production in Sweden with €20 million plant
ATMP (Advanced therapy medicinal product) specialist Cobra Biologics builds Sweden's first 500 litre bioreactor investing €20 million at its Matfors facility in Sundsvall.
Cobra Biologics expands DNA vaccines, gene and immunotherapy production in Sweden with €20 million plant
The global market for DNA vaccines, gene and immunotherapy manufacturing is set to accelerate. More and more patients are being treated for gene-related diseases and cancers using the promising approach of inserting or editing genes in cells and tissues.
Cobra Biologics, an experienced CDMO and a biotechnology leader with ATMP production sites in Sweden and the UK, is now building on its 20 years of success. The company has invested €20 million in two new production lines in Matfors, Sweden – installing the country's first 500 litre bioreactor for plasmid DNA and microbiota production.
"Very few suppliers worldwide with our expertise in plasmid DNA production can offer this type of capacity. The investment includes both 50 litre and 500 litre production lines, of which the larger will be set up in a new facility with cleanroom areas, connected machines and warehousing space," explains Lars Fahlander, Site Manager, Cobra Biologics Matfors.
Advantage Matfors
"We are recruiting a core team of 10-20 people for tech transfer in areas such as DNA manufacturing, validation, maintenance engineering as well as senior and non-senior scientists. These competences are in high demand worldwide, and available to us in Sweden too," adds Fahlander.
"The U.S. and Europe are fast growing markets. Clients often come to us because of our Swedish location. The pharmaceuticals industry here is held in high regard, due to the availability of specialized and skilled people in combination with access to advanced technology," he concludes.

COVID-19 and mental health: moral and logistical challenges and an ongoing toll

The impact of COVID-19 has hovered over many sessions and the staging of this week's Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists' annual Congress in Hobart, one of the first medical specialty conferences to meet once again in person.
Yesterday the pandemic's impact was centre-stage at a high level trans-Tasman panel session at a #RANZCP2021 Presidential Symposium. It heard that, while the worst projections were averted in both Australia and New Zealand, the pandemic has inflicted a high and continuing toll on mental health, particularly for young people.
New Zealand's COVID-19 experience came amid a series ongoing "psychosocial crises", in the wake of tragic events like the Christchurch earthquakes and mosque massacre and, as did Australia's, underscored the critical importance of the social determinants of health, including income support.
Croakey journalist Dr Amy Coopes reports below for the Croakey Conference News Service. You can bookmark all her #RANZCP2021 stories here, with more to come after the Congress closes today.
Amy Coopes writes:
The worst-case predictions of a pandemic-fuelled surge in suicide did not come to pass, but demand on an already-ailing mental health system has ballooned, with no signs of abating and warnings to psychiatrists that it could be years before we pass the peak.
And while a swift pivot to telehealth was hailed as life-changing for many, it had been far from a panacea, highlighting and exacerbating access disparities and placing a new level of strain on practitioners, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists' annual Congress has been told.
The coronavirus pandemic was front and centre at this week's RANZCP Congress, themed 'Influencing and being influenced by the world around us' and one of the first major medical specialty conferences to be held in Australia since the global outbreak began.
It has highlighted how mental health has come under the spotlight as never before in an unprecedented year of isolation, loss, uncertainty and rapid change, throwing many of the givens in our modern life into question.
RANZCP President Associate Professor John Allan said it had posed a "moral challenge" to the College to ensure training continued, because the mental health and wellbeing of Australia and New Zealand was at stake.
Allan chaired a symposium examining the impact of COVID-19 on mental health across the two countries, featuring Australia's deputy chief medical officer for mental health, Dr Ruth Vine, NSW chief psychiatrist Dr Murray Wright, and Dr Arran Culver, who is chief clinical advisor for mental health and addiction to New Zealand's Minstry of Health.
The group shared their experiences of working behind the scenes on the coronavirus responses of Australia and New Zealand, widely regarded as among the world's best, with very few infections or deaths in relative global terms.
Planning for system collapse
Dr Murray Wright gave an insider's account of the New South Wales response, emphasising the importance of information, adaptation, communication and collaboration.
More than 12 months on, with millions of vaccine doses administered and little local transmission to speak of since the suppression of Melbourne's second wave, Wright said it was easy to forget where we had been, mired in incredibly grim forecasts and "contemplating health system collapse".
Based on the information out of China and other outbreak centres, NSW was expecting some 25,000 deaths and a 10-week ICU surge maxing out capacity by more than 300 per cent.
It made plans for a massive 550-bed makeshift hospital at Olympic Park, with further field hospitals at the Sydney Convention Centre and Gore Hill Oval. Scrambled contingency plans looked at turning frozen food factories, industrial warehouses and even pubs into makeshift morgues – contemplating a city under siege, "like the aftermath of a war zone".
Amid a "cacophony of voices about what was going on, some of which was pretty unhelpful", Wright said it soon became obvious just how important accessible, "consistent, clear and realistic" messaging from government was going to be, and an enormous upskilling of communications capacity became an early priority.
Information was a precious commodity, particularly in those early days, and Wright said a confidential team of analysts known as the Critical Intelligence Unit was at the heart of NSW operations, combing through media reports and scientific publications to keep officials abreast of the latest developments.
They were "completely invisible to the rest of the community, but vital" to the government's COVID-19 strategy, producing a daily evidence digest, updating the internal Risk Monitoring Dashboard and public-facing Agency for Clinical Innovation (ACI) sites Living Evidence and Evidence Check.
Specific to the mental health space, Wright said NSW Health's System Information and Analytics branch published MH Trace. It tracked indicators of demand and capacity in the system such as Emergency Deparment presentations with mental health concerns, suicidal ideation or self harm, Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) mental health service use, and crisis line contacts, with data distillable down to local health district (LHD) and health service level.
Offering a glimpse inside the government's clinical war-room, Wright discussed the formation of the NSW COVID-19 Clinical Council, a group bringing 30 specialist areas together weekly with bureaucrats to discuss health system priorities in the response.
Wright said personel protective equipment (PPE) became a "lightning rod, a proxy for anxiety – for health care workers in particular, and rightly so", and there was a high level of distress and distrust around these and other issues in a "pretty torrid" first month.
Overtime the Clinical Council came to be an effective and important plank of the NSW response, he said, also applauding the formation of National Cabinet, which he said was not only valuable in coordination but allowed information-sharing and collaboration.
At a specialty level, Wright said the nation's chief psychiatrists also met monthly throughout the pandemic and this allowed for peer review and debriefing across jurisdictions, and discussion of common challenges.
Telehealth and the social determinants
The major, and persisting issue confronting the mental health system was increased emergency department presentations by young people, Wright said – a concern echoed by Dr Ruth Vine and by Dr Arran Culver from across the Tasman, a former child psychiatrist, who said it was borne out nationally and trans-nationally, along with a rise in this group of eating disorders.
Vine's position as deputy chief medical officer for mental health was created by the Federal Government in response to the pandemic, amid frightening prediction early on of an "explosion" in suicides.
While that didn't eventuate, she said concerns about the system's ability to cope pre-dated COVID-19, which had not arrived in a vacuum for Australia's mental health services – already stretched to the limit by growing demand, complexity, fragmentation and inequities of access.
While the system and some of its users benefited from a pandemic-expedited telehealth rollout, Vine said it hadn't helped everyone and made things more difficult for those without access to a safe, private place to be seen or a secure platform.
This was recognised early on by New Zealand, according to Culver, who said the government reached a 'zero data' agreement with the nation's telcommunications companies to allow for free access to COVID-19 related information and services, and engaged in a mass buy-up and distribution of cheap mobile handsets to disadvantaged communities.
Vine said more beneficial and significant for mental health during the crisis were 'non-health' interventions like JobKeeper, targeting the social determinants of wellbeing.
Longer-term psychosocial alert
Culver shared similar experiences from New Zealand, where he said there was early recognition – informed by a series of national disasters in preceding years including the Canterbury earthquakes – that the major impacts were not going to be viral. Rather they would be on people's lives and livelihoods: income, food security, housing, employment and family and the exacerbation of family and domestic violence by conditions of confinement.
Culver said New Zealand had actually been in psychosocial crisis response activation mode for most of the few years preceding COVID due to crises including the earthquakes that hit the Christchurch region, the White Island volcano eruption and the Christchurch massacre. Still nothing had quite equipped them for a national pandemic response, he said.
While New Zealand had escaped any major primary impact from COVID-19 itself, Culver said there had been "significant secondary and economic impacts, but these were managed reasonably well".
The country's updated psychosocial response plan had a stronger focus on the social determinants of health and at-risk groups, including the newly unemployed, people who were already in hardship, and children and young people.
This latter group had been demonstrated as the most vulnerable to mental health impacts following the Canterbury earthquakes, Culver said, with a delay in onset of about six months and a "very long tail", in the order of about three years.
New Zealand had seen a similar COVID-19 spike in youth mental health presentations, but he said this had peaked after about 6-8 weeks.
Vine questioned when, if ever, the surge in demand seen during COVID-19 would abate, given it was showing no signs of slowing in Australia.
Adding to this, Culver said there were new challenges ahead, with a current phase of 'languishing' and fatigue with eradication measures that were now bringing diminishing returns, and a new kind of psychological readiness needed around COVID endemicity as borders began to open.
Culver paid tribute to a "remarkable" public response in New Zealand to date, which he put down to a unity and clarity of messaging – a "single source of truth" – compared to other jurisdictions.
The panellists were asked to comment on the role of the media, and whether they had helped or hindered.
Largely, Vine said media outlets had been responsible, for example not blowing the suicide modelling early on out of proportion.
Wright agreed they had been quite respectful of health authorities' role as the "voice of truth, especially in critical stages", and urged his colleagues to reflect on what had been done well. Overall, he said, the response was one health care workers should be proud of.

The Green Mind
Elitism and Climate Change Denialism
What motivates Republicans to deny the reality of climate change?
Consequences of Climate Change
Scientists worldwide have reached consensus that global climate change is real and human-caused. Global average temperatures are rising, regional climates are destabilizing, and human activity is the main driver of these changes. There's also agreement that these changes already are impacting modern society with, for example, more severe and damaging storms and droughts that are causing declines in agricultural production in various places. And the problems are going to get much worse.
If you don't believe that there's a consensus about global climate change both as a reality and as a major problem caused by human activity, please read these two sources and do your own research (but don't cherry pick from the tiny number of dissenting studies out of the thousands that support the consensus):
http://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus
http://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-scientific-consensus-basic.htm
Researchers also agree that society's responses to climate change are wholly inadequate and are leaving people vulnerable: future generations and today's poorest, who can't afford to move to a higher elevation to avoid floods or to a place where enough rain will continue to fall to support their farming.
Indicators of Climate Change
Why the Inertia?
Who's responsible for our national and global lack of movement toward a healthier planet? With all of the complex factors that determine the course of modern society, it's difficult to point the finger at any one group, but some groups certainly deserve a larger share of the blame for inaction. The United States obviously wields great political power and influence in the world, but our elected leaders have shown little leadership on climate change. It certainly doesn't help that one of our two main political parties has adopted a near-universal stance of denial when it comes to climate change: the Republicans.
The U.S. Republican party stands alone in the developed, industrialized world as the only major political party to fail to acknowledge that global climate change is real, is damaging (not just to nature but to people and the economy), and requires us to change the way we do business.1 Not that other U.S. politicians have rallied vigorously enough to lead the nation to significantly reduce fossil-fuel and other emissions that cause climate change. But the Republican party, with all of its denial that the problem even exists, presents perhaps the greatest obstacle to action against climate change, particularly now that they will control both houses of congress.
In my view, as the 21st century rolls on and the damages become increasingly evident, the Republican position will look increasingly absurd, and shame will befall the party of recalcitrance and inaction.
Harbinger of Droughts & Floods
Social Domination Leading to Nature Domination?
How can we get past this stumbling block—a voting bloc of climate change deniers? First, it's necessary to understand the origins of their denial, and that's where psychology comes in.
In a previous post I discuss studies revealing pathways of denial for Conservative White Males (CWMs) regarding climate change and other environmental problems. They tend to credit or dismiss risks (such as flooding or droughts that impact farming) in a way that supports their cultural identities as conservatives; it's hard to go against the grain of the conservative movement. They also exhibit "system-justifying" tendencies because of their beliefs in the validity and justice of current economic and power systems; the problem of climate change challenges our current systems, so conservatives feel a compulsion to dismiss the threat. CWMs also identify with elite CWMs such as Rush Limbaugh and defend that perceived in-group's anti-environmental worldview, which means dismissing any scientific facts that might imply the need for more regulation.
Researchers have recently been able to discover other aspects of conservative and Republican ideologies that underlie this harmful process of denial (not that Republicans or conservatives are the only people practicing denial about a subject—just that their denial in this case is particularly harmful). Psychologists defined two concepts to try to capture relevant conservative beliefs. Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) is a "cluster" of attitudes that includes authoritarian submission (people should submit to the authority of a strong ruler), authoritarian aggression (violence or any other means must be used to destroy threats to the state), and conventionalism (new ways and sinfulness threaten the social order). Social Dominance Orientation (SDO), on the other hand, predisposes people to support group or identity based social hierarchy (that it's good and acceptable for one group of people to gain power over another—equality is not a fundamental value) and intergroup dominance (for example that it's good for Americans to dominate the world politically and economically).
Receding Arctic Sea Ice
Apparently, many high-SDO people don't yet realize that climate change is expected to threaten the very economic basis on which their lives (and those of their descendants) depend, not just the lives of poor people whom it is already harming.
Rising Antarctic Temperatures
On a positive note, the same researchers discovered that some high-SDO research subjects became less likely to deny climate change when shown a video newscast presenting information from the latest authoritative study (by the IPCC) on global climate change and the increasing certainty regarding the information. So even when people are motivated to reject climate change evidence, they may still be open to new information on the subject.
This last part is the heartening part. Even people with the greatest motivation to deny climate change—because it challenges their beliefs in the appropriateness of our current economic system, that it portends the need for change, that it implicitly criticizes right-wing authority figures, and so on—can shift, perhaps ever so gradually, toward greater acceptance of the scientific consensus that we're doing major harm to the planet and, because of our economic dependence on nature, to ourselves—so change is needed. And that in the long term nobody may be immune to the effects of global climate change.

part of the problem is democracy itself
Even if you convinced every Joe Blow that climate change is real, the problem is still that many people live paycheck to paycheck. And any politicians who implemented policies strict enough to FULLY force the reductions in CO2 that are needed -- those politicians would be summarily voted out of office because of the expenses of infrastructure change and the current expense of alternative energies.
The problem isn't really so much any particular party or corporate cabal, it's simply the fact that in a democracy like ours, a lot of people are going to vote their pocketbook. So the only way you're going to make real progress is by doing the research and manufacturing development to make alternative energy sources MUCH CHEAPER, at which point the problem takes care of itself, no government prodding needed. And at that point, it won't even matter if Joe Blow believes in climate change or not.
Any goodwill to the left has been destroyed
After 6 years of lies and corruption, how can anyone with any rationality believe what the Democrats say, especially when they are again telling us the problem can be solved simply by taxing us more? Remember the big Stimulus packages? TRILLIONS of dollars for shovel ready projects to rebuild our infrastrutcure? Yet over the last year Obama keeps asking for more money because of failing infrastructure. WHERE did that money go?????? Obamacare was going to reduce yearly family insurance bills by 2500. It raised it by that much or more. The list goes on and on. Nobody believes these liars anymore, but even if they did they just make everything worse with their irrational policies. People are so personally damaged from the Obama debacle they are just trying to save their own situations now and even if AGW was believable it will be backburner until this mess of a country gets straightened out.

As a black person, I find the direct correlations made about conservative white males and climate change denial to be sad and disappointing.
This article is an example of the elitism you rage about. Politics have always been driven by racial, ideological and financial drivers. Climate change unfortunately while a real future danger, is arguably also a financial windfall for proponents of climate change policies. This does not invalidate the urgency of meaningful climate change, but it underscores a real and undeniable facet of the climate change industry that politicians (left leaning) pretend to ignore; the real vs inflated costs of climate change, with respect to the rate of climate change.
The global champion of climate change Emmanuel Macron, just caved in to the yellow jacket protesters. What does that say to you? It says to me, if he truly believed in climate change as you do, he would have resigned, as the non-implementation of his carbon tax would be incompatible with his value system. He didn't. He caved. Evidence that the urgency is not as great as he made it seem, or he is content for now with continued erosion of the environment.
This is a simple example to show that ultimately, he is no different from the conservative white males you seem to loathe. His ideology seems to align with yours, but when faced with a clear choice, environment or political power, he chose the later. The conservative white males are merely doing the same.
Don't inject petty politics and unconfirmed racial stereotyping into scientific discourse please.

A Guide to Acing the Sieve Grade Selection Process An Expert Guide to Selecting a Sample Splitter
5 Simple Steps to Setting up a Flawless Quality Control Program
Everyone wants their sieves in service as long as possible, and that means as long as they meet applicable standards. Gilson Test Sieves are guaranteed to meet ASTM or ISO requirements for Compliance, Inspection or Calibration grades as soon as they're ordered, but eventually wire cloth stretches, sags and tears occur, and abrasive materials reduce wire diameter, increasing opening sizes.
How do you replace your sieves before it's too late? That's a question we hear all the time, and there's no quick or easy answer. But the best place to start is with an ongoing, in-house quality control program. Here, we'll help you get started implementing this type of program in five easy steps.
Establish a Master Set.
It's best to start a quality control program by establishing a dedicated Master Reference Set of Inspection or Calibration test sieves.
The Master Set serves as the basis for a performance comparison of Working Sieves, gauging wear and scheduling replacements. Inspection and Calibration grade sieves are provided with detailed verification reports to assure compliance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) with measuring devices traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It's a lot of information to keep track of so we recommend keeping all this valuable documentation organized using a system compatible with your organization's practices. That way, it's readily available for periodic reviewing and auditing.
The verification report for each Inspection or Calibration grade sieve includes the following:
Record of the measurements performed
Statistical analysis proving compliance with appropriate ASTM or ISO specifications
Description of the measuring devices used and traceability to NIST
Create comparative Working Sieve Sets.
Working Sieve Sets should be used for day-to-day testing. Routine, periodic comparison to the Master Set allows you to detect the point when the Working Sieves no longer meet the specifications. Not only does this ensure maximum service life for Working Sieves, but it also minimizes the disruption of sending test sieves off-site for verification. Most importantly, it can prevent test results that are not accurate, precise or reliable.
If you choose to evaluate the performance of the sieves together as a stack, it's important that the sieves are always evaluated together as a complete stack. The best way to do this is to record the serial number of each sieve in the stack and double-check these records before any comparison is done. One sieve in the wrong stack can corrupt all of your results. You can also check the performance of individual sieves by comparing them one at a time directly to the equivalent Master Sieve.
Compare each Working Sieve Set.
Comparative testing of the Working Sets gives you a way to identify test sieves that are out of tolerance and need to be replaced. The first comparison between Master and Working Sieve Sets also helps establish a baseline relationship between the sets. As the Working Sieves wear and age, each subsequent performance check will reveal an increased variation from its first comparison to the Master Sieve.
For example, the initial comparison may show that the Working No.10 sieve deviated from the results of the Master No. 10 sieve by 1.5%. The percent of deviation is likely to increase over time and when it approaches 3.5% (a 2% increase or more), you may decide the sieve is no longer acceptable for use. Most quality control programs have an acceptable variation of ±1% to 3% from the Master Sieve. To compare your sets:
Start with a sample large enough to be split into several representative portions, one for each set of Working Sieves to be compared, plus the Master Set
Follow accepted sample dividing methods for your material to ensure the samples are truly representative
Process one sample through the Master Sieve Set and record results for later reference
Test the remaining through the Working Sieve Set(s)
Use Standard Reference Materials when necessary.
User-prepared materials are non-standard and therefore are not directly traceable to any source, so they require more handling to prepare. They may also be more difficult to duplicate and verify for regular re-evaluations. While there are advantages to using materials you regularly work with, there's also another option: Standard Reference Material (SRMs).
SRMs are precisely sized glass beads or powders used to test the performance of sieves and to establish effective opening sizes. They're created under equipment that's traceable to NIST or European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) so their uniformity and reliability is without question. SRMs can be invaluable to your internal quality control program. Although relatively expensive, SRMs may be a wise investment since they're easily adopted into internal quality control programs.
Remember, in-house quality control is a process.
Instituting an in-house quality control program begins by creating a Master Set of new Inspection or Calibration sieves as a benchmark. Establishing a reliable baseline is critical for the initial comparison with the Working Sieves, so it's important to use new Compliance Grade sieves to build up the Working Sets. The process continues with commitment, documentation and attention to routine details like a virtual inspection of every sieve before it's used. It's also important to never put a sieve away until it's properly cleaned. Your quality control commitment with scheduled inspections and performance testing provides a reliable measure of a test sieve's accuracy and compliance to ASTM or ISO standards. With these elements in place, you can answer the question: How do you replace your sieves before it's too late?

The National Credit Regulator (NCR) and the South African Police Service (SAPS) conducted operations in Mpumalanga and Limpopo Provinces on credit providers who were unlawfully, retaining pension cards, bank cards, identity documents and personal identity numbers (PIN) of their clients as surety for the loans.
"In Northam, Limpopo, on Tuesday, 22 August 2017, over 800 consumer instruments, being both South African Social Security Agency cards and bank cards were sized from a credit provider," says Jacqueline Peters, Manager: Investigations and Enforcement Department at the NCR.
"In a separate operation in Mpumalanga, on Wednesday, 23 August 2017 an unregistered credit provider, who was retaining cards and was alleged to have kidnapped a consumer was arrested," added Peters.
She says that credit providers commit a criminal offence when retaining pension cards, bank cards, identity documents and personal identity numbers (PIN) of their consumers as debt collection instruments.
"We urge consumers who have handed their identity documents or bank and pension cards to this credit provider to report to the respective police station to collect their instruments," concludes Peters.

Gulf of Kachchh harbours one of the major mangrove formations of India extending to an area of 980 km2. Investigating different ecological facets of mangrove formations of Kachchh in particular and Gujarat in general is a major area of research for GUIDE ever since its creation. Restoration ecology, vegetation characteristics, governing environmental water and soil quality and associated mangrove faunal components are some of the major areas of research in mangroves. As a part of its mangrove restoration and conservation initiative, nearly 5000 ha of mangrove plantation has been implemented through different research projects. Similarly, vegetation characteristics of mangroves of Gulf of Kachchh covering nearly 980 km2 of mangroves have been thoroughly studied and documented through publication of journal articles, reports and books. Governing water and soil quality of mangrove environs and their role in shaping the ecosystem has been investigated in major mangrove formations of Gulf of Kachchh and published. In order to inculcate mangrove restoration techniques to field managers, a mangrove manual dealing with different aspects of restoration ecology has been published.
Since coastal community is an indispensible part of mangrove conservation, projects dealing with community and coastal industries to restore and conserve mangroves have been implemented which attempted to create a model for community based mangrove conservation. Kachchh mangroves offer opportunities to achieve dual goals of poverty reduction and protection of marine carbon sinks if the ongoing plantation efforts by coastal industries are properly linked with the dependent coastal communities. Factors such as intensive industrial development in coastal realm, recurring drought and very high dependence of coastal communities on mangrove resources further strengthens the need to have a strong linkage between coastal industries and the communities which will foster a long term conservation of mangroves. These community based projects addressed empowering fully mangrove dependent communities and coastal industries to have a linkage for long lasting conservation of mangroves. In this process a skilled local work force through a village level community organisation (CBO) is created through a series of workshops and the community's capacity was built on different aspects of mangrove plantation and post plantation care; awareness is generated among the community including industries on technical aspects of mangrove plantation, post plantation care, climate change and carbon economics potential of mangroves.

This Maryan Mehlhorn Maritime Bikini Set features a navy stripe print with silver metallic thread embellishment in the stripes. The triangle halter top has molded cups, side boning for added support and a snap closure in back. The bottoms offer a low-rise hipster cut with tie sides and full coverage.


W. David Merryman, professor of biomedical engineering, and Ph.D. student Megan Bowler started out by testing celecoxib, the active compound in Celebrex, on valve cells in an effort to see if it could double as an aortic stenosis therapy. It made the problem worse.
To confirm their theory about a link between celecoxib and valve calcification, Merryman, who is also a professor of pharmacology, medicine and pediatrics at Vanderbilt, recruited Michael Raddatz, an M.D./Ph.D. student, to analyze more than 8,600 relevant, anonymous patient records from Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Raddatz checked whether there was a link between Celebrex use and aortic valve disease, and, after correcting for other risk factors, discovered that patients who had taken Celebrex had a 20 percent increased prevalence of valve disease.
The team's results appear today, which is National Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day, in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC): Basic to Translational Science.
The 2016 New England Journal of Medicine study that found Celebrex no more damaging than naproxen and ibuprofen only looked at cardiovascular death and nonfatal heart attack or stroke, not valve disease, which affects more than a quarter of the U.S. population older than 65.
"In this study, we're adding a long-term perspective on celecoxib use," said Bowler, who recently earned her Ph.D. "Calcification in the aortic valve can take many years. So if you're at a higher risk for it, you might want to consider taking a different painkiller or rheumatoid arthritis treatment."
As part of the same study, Bowler and Merryman found dimethyl celecoxib - an inactive form of celecoxib - could potentially slow or stop aortic stenosis. Merryman said he intends to keep testing dimethyl celecoxib for its beneficial effects on heart valve health.
