Q: explain unfamiliar python syntax -- returning into a list I totally understand what the right side of this expression is doing.
But what's it returning into?  In other words, what's the left side doing?
[records, remainder] = ''.join([remainder, tmp]).rsplit(NEWLINE,1)

I'm not familiar with that syntax.
remainder is defined above this line as empty string:
remainder = ''

but records is not defined anywhere in the function.
From the context, it should be accumulating streaming content, but I'm not understanding how.

A: records is taking the first element of the rsplit's return value. remainder is taking the second.
% python
Python 2.7 (r27:82500, Sep 16 2010, 18:02:00)
[GCC 4.5.1 20100907 (Red Hat 4.5.1-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> foo = [3, 9]
>>> [records, remainder] = foo
>>> records
3
>>> remainder
9
>>> foo = [3, 9, 10]
>>> [records, remainder] = foo
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: too many values to unpack

You actually don't need the square-brackets around [records, remainder], but they're stylistic.

A: It first joins the content of remainder with the contents of tmp using an empty string as joiner.
''.join([...])

Then it splits this join from the right, using NEWLINE as splitter and only doing one split, that is, it returns two values, one from the beginning to the first occurrence of NEWLINE and another from there to the end.
.rsplit(NEWLINE, 1)

Finally it assigns the first value to records and the second to remainder using tuple unpacking.
a, b = (c, d)

A: Not sure about streaming content, but it's easy enough to try this for yourself:
>>> a = 'abc'
>>> b = '\ndef\nghi'
>>> c = (a + b).rsplit('\n', 1)
#['abc\ndef', 'ghi']

Then it uses unpacking to assign two variables (which should be written as):
fst, snd = c

(The []'s are superfluous)


It is possible to achieve significant reductions in the cost of buying office paper by reducing paper use and reusing paper where possible.
Eliminating office from waste may reduce waste bills by as much as 50%.
Making new paper from old paper uses 30% to 55% less energy than making paper from trees and reduces related air pollution by 95%.
Each day American businesses generate enough paper to circle the globe at least 40 times!
77% of paper waste generated in offices is recyclable.
Typical business offices generate about 1.5 pounds of waste paper per employee each day.
Nearly half of typical office paper waste is high grade office paper.
Recycling one ton of paper typically saves about 6.7 cubic yards of landfill space. A cubic yard of stacked office paper weighs about 380 pounds. Cost savings may be estimated by multiplying the tons recycled by 6.7 times the cost per cubic yard for waste disposal (if by volume) of by cost per ton (if by weight).
Commercial and residential paper waste accounts for more than 40% of waste going to the landfill. Eliminating this paper from our waste would nearly double the lives of current landfills.
Newspaper is recycled into newspaper, game boards, egg cartons, gift boxes, animal bedding, insulation, and packaging material.
Office paper is recycled into office paper, tissue paper, paper towels, and toilet paper.
Corrugated cardboard is recycled into new cardboard and cereal boxes.

Today, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I finished reading When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele. I often try to read something by King or a related topic on MLK Day, not in a performative way (though blogging about it doesn't help), but to help center my thoughts.
This year, when things seem calm and quiet (forgotten), when the fury of 2020 George Floyd protests is an aberration, it seemed fitting to read a modern voice.
Too often MLK Day is quotes from 60 years ago, voices so far removed from our current reality that you don't see the continued struggle.
This year, it seemed important to read about the current struggle. I didn't intentionally pick it, but reading from one of my contemporaries, someone near to my own age (actually younger), makes it a lot harder to shake with rage at Bloody Sunday or the firehoses or the dogs and think I'd have done something.
Reading these stories, that happened in my lifetime and still happen, make me feel, make me realize, that I am complicit.
This book is really a justification of Black Lives Matter, the term and the idea, as well as the movement. It's a recitation of all the harms and injustices that from a "hatred that tells a person daily that their life and the life of those they love ain't worth shit, a truth made ever more real when the people who harm you are never held accountable." (187)

But I Want Them to Live
March 31, 2022 Kevin D. Hendricks Leave a comment
Today is Trans Visibility Day. I see you. I love you. I am here for you.
These past few months have felt like a dark time for the trans community. I'm sorry.
We're in a place right now where attacks on the LGBTQ community, and specifically trans folks, are coming fast and furious. Not just from a minority of bigots and haters, but from state governments and seemingly an entire political party. Not just a few red states (where these bills are passing and becoming law), but nearly the entire country.
I'll say this as simply as I can: This is a civil rights issue. Some people want to deny LGBTQ people their civil rights because they some how think that's wrong or feel threatened by it. But it's discrimination, it's rooted in hate, and it's evil. It's anti-American.
And no, I don't care about your religious exemption or your fake concern for women's sports or your gross and wrong conflation of abuse and homosexuality (ready for "grooming" to become the new scare-word?). There's no excuse for hate.
Here's why I think this issue is so simple: Kids are dying.
You either care about those kids and want to see them live, or you don't.

An Inspiring Quote in a Troubling Time
February 24, 2022 Kevin D. Hendricks Leave a comment
The news is really hard right now (as if it hasn't been for months and years and… oh). Russia invaded Ukraine. Texas is trying to bully trans kids. People are trying to ban books and pretend racism wasn't so bad and doesn't exist today.
It's just a lot.
It's hard to focus, it's hard to work, it's hard to stop doom scrolling. (guilty)
When that happens, I find it best to focus on small acts of love and kindness.
So among other things, I shared this on social media today from my West St. Paul Reader accounts (nothing gives me more joy than using my platforms to be a positive voice):
"I could not look my granddaughter in the eye and tell her things needed to change but do nothing to change them."

Rally for Trans Kids in Hastings
December 4, 2021 Kevin D. Hendricks Leave a comment
I went to the Rally for Trans Kids in Hastings today, in response to the bigoted hate poured out on Hastings school board member Kelsey Waits and her family by a 'concerned parents' group in the community. The group outed Waits' 8-year-old trans child and has created an environment so hostile the family doesn't feel safe and had to move.
Waits said it best in an MPR interview:
"Transgender kids are the most at-risk kids in our schools for suicide. Almost 50 percent of transgender students will attempt suicide, and that's in Minnesota and nationwide. And what research is starting to show is that by supporting these kids, you decrease their risk of suicide. You're saving their lives."

West St. Paul's Black Lives Matter Mural
So my city, West St. Paul, made the New York Times this past week over a Black Lives Matter mural that has to come down for violating city ordinance. Then another Black man was killed by police in Minnesota on Sunday, Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center. Last night we had a metro-wide curfew.
It's been a week. In the midst of a pandemic. After a summer of already doing this. During a trial where we were already reliving last summer.
I drafted a whole post about the mural controversy. It feels kind of pointless now.
But I'll say a couple things…
I have rather ragey feelings about Black people killed by police.
I have rather mixed feelings about the mural.
My son and I attended a protest supporting Black Lives Matter at the Minnesota State Capitol in June 2020.

Cory Booker: George Floyd Is a Referendum on Us
A couple weeks back Senator Cory Booker appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to talk about George Floyd and the protests and the reaction. It's an incredible interview and I encourage you to watch it.
The whole interview is about half an hour, but there's about a 15-minute chunk that gets away from the current politics and focuses on racism and this moment in America that is just powerful stuff.
Booker and Colbert have been discussing the protests in Washington D.C. and how President Donald Trump cleared out Lafayette Park for a photo opp, and Colbert asks what it's like in D.C. right now and if this is a harbinger of things to come. Booker launches into a very personal and emotional response that is worth your time:

Ruth Richardson: A Story I need You to Hear
June 20, 2020 Kevin D. Hendricks 1 Comment
Ruth Richardson is a state legislator in the next town over. I'd vote for her if I could, but she's not in my district. I'd vote for her because she is a giant of strength and conviction.
In the aftermath of the George Floyd murder, she shared a very personal story that I need everyone to hear. It gets at the heart of how things are different for Black people in America.
Richardson had to tell her Black son, Shawn, not to go for a run in the neighborhood: "I had to tell my little boy that you can't run in our neighborhood."

George Floyd Aftermath
This morning our family went down to Minneapolis where George Floyd was killed. There's basically a shrine at the corner of Chicago and 38th that's blossoming with art and signs and flowers. It felt like visiting the Lynching Memorial, somber and quiet.
We also drove down Lake Street and saw the devastation from the looters.
It's been a bit wild to see the near-universal condemnation of Floyd's death and seeing protests erupt in hundreds of cities and all 50 states. It's like we might actually reach a moment where change happens.
Our family also marched in a protest on Sunday. I carried a sign that said, "No more white silence," because I'm so tired of white people (myself included) not being outraged about ongoing racial oppression.
Doing church while making my protest sign.
But as we're a week or two removed from Floyd's death and the violent riots, I'm wondering if I should have encouraged white people to be silent in a different way. I'm starting to see more and more white people speaking up on social media. Some are encouraging, and some less so.
It's very obvious right now by what people say and what they don't say where they stand. There are a lot of people who passionately proclaim, "Don't tread on me," who have been silent about literal tyranny in our streets. There are people who bemoan the violence and looting, but say nothing about police killing an unarmed black man in the street. And there are lots of white people with plenty to say who have done very little listening to the black community—or at best have cherrypicked a few conservative black sources who reinforce their racist ideas.
We see you.
Look, I don't have a lot of answers here.
But I am seeing a lot of deeply white conversations about racism, and that's a good sign that you're missing something.
Listen to black voices experiencing oppression.
Don't dismiss them when you find something uncomfortable or an idea you disagree with. Don't throw out your 'what abouts.' Don't throw up your own offenses—you being offended about the tone of the conversation or an accusation or a metaphor you don't like pale in comparison to the real injustices the black community face on a regular basis.
This is hard work we have to do right now. I'm amazed at some of the progress we've already made—arrests, charges, national protest, etc.—but we have a long, long way to go.
As Ibram X. Kendi says in his book How to Be an Anti-Racist (a hard, challenging read), "There is no neutrality in the racism struggle."
Or if Kendi is too "radical" for you, how about a fluffier source for the same idea:
"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality." –Bishop Desmond Tutu

Oh, Minneapolis
What a crap week. It's bad enough dealing with a pandemic and all the stress and worry that entails. Then police violence and the murder of George Floyd. Then tear gas and more violence and more death and Minneapolis burning. I don't have the words.
(Speaking of words, people like to quote Martin Luther King Jr. about non-violence, but he also spoke about riots. Some context on those comments is especially helpful.)
Since I don't have words, two songs come to mind this week.
Let the People Be Free
The first is a protest song by Jayanthi Kyle called "Hand in Hand." It was written in 2014 and, because of course, the lyrics are still quite relevant:
The day's gonna come when I won't march no more
But while my sister ain't equal & my brother can't breathe
Hand and hand with my family, we will fill these streets …
Mr. Policeman
I can't breathe
Lay down your weapons and your badges and listen to me
Jayanthi is also in a chorus group called Give Get Sistet that's pretty amazing. Nobody is doing performances right now, cuz pandemic, but they'd be an ideal group to bring in right now.
The other song I thought of was Ben Kyle's "Minneapolis." The lyrics aren't nearly as applicable, but the mournful "Oh, Minneapolis" captures about how it felt this morning to see images of the city smoldering.
O Minneapolis,
I saw you and Saint Paul kiss
Neath the moonlight in a Mississippi mist
Never saw a thing as beautiful as this
Oh Minneapolis
Rain down, purple rain (I wanna hear the sound)
I wanna feel the royal rain on me
I wanna feel the holy water running like a holy stream
I wanna be baptized in the city in the Mississippi

A Moment in Church: Women, Kavanaugh & Proverbs 31
September 28, 2018 Kevin D. Hendricks Leave a comment
I had a moment at church last week. The reading was Proverbs 31, and I had to read it to the congregation. Just a few days before, at book club, I listened quietly while we discussed two books on feminism. Proverbs 31 came up and the women in the room expressed frustration with the expectations that passage has put on them.
So, this frustration fresh on my mind, I had to step up to the podium and read Proverbs 31. For those who don't know, it's the account of the nearly perfect woman. In many Christian circles it's held up as the example women are to aspire to. Continue reading A Moment in Church: Women, Kavanaugh & Proverbs 31 →

'Flash mob' thieves target U.S. retail stores on Black Friday
Steve Gorman

FILE PHOTO: Black Friday sales begin at The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass in Simpsonville
By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Black Friday shoppers weren't the only ones out hunting for bargains on the day after Thanksgiving. Thieves were busy as well.
Police in Los Angeles and cities elsewhere across the country spent much of their holiday weekend patrols looking for suspects in a spate of "flash mob" robberies on Friday, part of a surging U.S. crime trend in which groups of thieves swarm a store, ransack the shelves and flee.
Authorities also have used the term "smash-and-grab" to describe the trend.
At least two such robberies were reported on Saturday by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. A local television station, KCAL-TV, counted a total of six smash-and-grab heists on the city's west side alone on Friday.
In one incident, a group of eight men entered a Home Depot outlet at a shopping mall in Lakewood, south of downtown Los Angeles, walked directly to the tool aisle and snatched a bunch of hammers, sledgehammers and crowbars valued at about $400 before making their getaway, the sheriff's office said.
According to L.A. television station KTTV, the Home Depot robbery on Friday night involved up to 20 suspects who pulled up to the store in as many as 10 cars and donned ski masks before raiding the tool aisle.
"We tried to stop them," store employee Luis Romo told KTTV. "We closed the front entrance, and they put their sledgehammers up and whoever got in the way, they were going to hurt them."
The Los Angeles City News Service said four suspects in that robbery were arrested on Saturday by Beverly Hills police.
In a similar incident Friday afternoon, a group of 10 men or more invaded a store in the city's Fairfax district and started grabbing merchandise without paying for it, pushing employees out of the way before fleeing the scene, according to LAPD.
Police are investigating possible ties between that incident and a flurry of other robberies and retail thefts on Friday and earlier in the week, including two smash-and-grabs reported on Wednesday, an LAPD spokesperson said.
The rash of retail crime prompted the LAPD to place its officers on a citywide tactical alert on Friday afternoon.
Mass robberies also were reported on Friday at two Best Buy electronics stores in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, one of them involving as many as 30 suspects, while a spree of pre-dawn retail burglaries were under investigation in Chicago.
In one of the biggest flash-mob robberies reported on the West Coast in recent days, police in the San Francisco suburb of Walnut Creek were seeking about 80 suspects who swarmed and ransacked a department store last Saturday.

Banks loan growth focus could impact U.S. Treasuries - Credit Suisse
U.S. banks' appetite for U.S Treasuries could slow down as they shift their focus to loan growth, at the same time that the Federal Reserve plans to shrink asset holdings and raise interest rates to fight inflation, said Credit Suisse analyst Zoltan Pozsar. Asset purchases by the Fed contributed to unprecedented liquidity and trading activity through the pandemic, but trading revenue at leading Wall Street banks fell in the fourth quarter as markets normalized and the U.S. central bank started scaling back its asset purchases, which resulted in lower trading volumes. Bank of America on Wednesday reported a better-than-expected 30% jump in quarterly profit, partly driven by $50 billion in record loan growth.
BEIJING (AP) — China on Friday criticized Washington for imposing sanctions on Chinese companies the U.S. says exported missile technology, and accused the United States of hypocrisy for selling nuclear-capable cruise missiles.

It said they were barred from U.S. markets and from obtaining technology that can be used to make weapons. "This is a typical hegemo

American Airlines sees returning to profitability in March, warns of higher costs
(Reuters) -American Airlines Group Inc on Thursday forecast returning to profitability in March, after reporting a smaller fourth-quarter loss, but said cost pressures would remain elevated this year due to the Omicron coronavirus variant-induced turmoil. The company said domestic leisure and short-haul international traffic were approaching their 2019 levels, but demand for long-haul international remained challenged. American, however, said the volatility in travel demand due to new COVID-19 variants has created "the most challenging planning environment in the history of commercial aviation".

New step to curb tech giants' power advanced by Senate panel
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress has taken a new step toward reining in the market dominance of Big Tech. Bipartisan legislation advanced by a Senate panel would bar the dominant online platforms from favoring their own goods and services over those of rivals. It could, for example, prevent Amazon from steering consumers to its own brands and away from competitors' products on its giant e-commerce platform. The bill also could bring restrictions for Google's search engine, which accounts for about 90%
Fed may run fast on long road to normal balance sheet
As part of its battle against inflation and a return to more normal monetary policy, the U.S. Federal Reserve is approaching a decision to reduce its balance sheet, https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-FED/BALANCESHEET/byprjmwezpe/index.html which has roughly doubled in size during the pandemic to nearly $9 trillion. It's a huge stockpile that has been helping hold down longer-term interest rates - including the mortgage rates households worry about when they buy a home - and which influences a wide range of asset and other prices in the economy. It has been a long journey to a balance sheet that big, and it will be a long trip back to whatever level of assets the Fed decides is "normal" for it to hold.

KALAMAZOO: People who are blind or have vision disabilities could be the ultimate beneficiaries of a $421,125 grant awarded to Western Michigan University (WMU) researchers to improve the design and use of canes.
The grant, from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, was awarded to Drs. Dae Shik Kim and Robert Wall Emerson, associate professor and professor, respectively, of blindness and low vision studies, and Dr. Koorosh Naghshineh, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. The research team will study how to improve the ergonomic design and cane-use biomechanics to see what has the greatest impact on detecting obstacles and drop-offs in the walking environment.
Kim, the project's principal investigator, says the long cane and how it is used was developed during the 1940s during World War II and has changed little since then, partly due to lack of research. Kim and his team hope to do something about that.
Researchers will test whether cane rigidity, length, weight and weight distribution impact the ability to detect obstacles and drop-offs. Part of that will involve experimenting with different materials. Kim says aluminum was initially a popular material for cane shafts. Manufacturers then introduced graphite and fiberglass shafts.
How the cane is wielded is also a main focus of the three-year project, which began Feb. 1. The team will study employing the two-point touch technique, where the user lifts and taps the cane from side to side, bending at the wrist, and the constant contact technique, which keeps the cane tip in contact with the walking surface using a sweeping motion. Kim says the two-point touch technique may miss spots or shorter obstacles as the cane moves from side to side.
The study is actually a continuation of others Kim and his associates have conducted over the years. Kim decided to investigate canes and cane techniques after first noticing differences in the detection of obstacles and drop-offs with different cane techniques among his clients as an instructor at the Cleveland Sight Center. Since 2008, he has conducted a series of long cane studies with his colleagues at WMU.
In previous studies, Kim has experimented with different cane tips. Plain pencil-type tips can catch or snag in cracks and crevices, while "marshmallow" tips resembling the sweet snack, especially those equipped with a roller, can sweep more easily over a surface. Kim has found marshmallow roller tips are just as effective as marshmallow tips in detecting drop-offs.
Kim says the research has a wide application to the lives of those with vision disabilities.

The MIC IP power supplies are designed with a complete IP system concept. A MIC Series 550 or MIC Series 612 camera, when connected to an IP power supply, streams IP video to the network and offers advanced system features, including edge recording, Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA) for up to 10 preset positions, and more. They also provide the option for Ethernet fiber optic transmission.
With the new PSUs, customers can record video on SD or SDHC cards for up to 32 gigabytes of local storage or on network-attached RAID iSCSI storage devices. Built-in iSCSI support allows the MIC Series cameras with IP powers supplies to act as conventional DVRs while streaming high-performance live video across the network. H.264 encoding provides high-resolution images at low bit rates, and dual-streaming allows viewing and recording at different quality levels to reduce bandwidth and storage requirements.
The power supplies enable the MIC Series cameras to be operated simultaneously over IP or analog via Bosch's Bilinx communication technology over the coaxial video cable. Video can be viewed using a web browser, Bosch video client software, the Bosch video management system, or with third-party software including ONVIF conformant platforms.
The PSUs also enable MIC Series cameras to operate using IVA and automatically alert customers to potential security risks. Each MIC Series camera with an IP power supply can be programmed to detect loitering, line crossing and other potential threats for up to 10 preposition scenes—providing reliable tracking, analysis and advanced search capabilities.
Designed for easy installation and durability, the PSUs include an IP67-rated enclosure and operate in temperatures ranging from -40 to +140 degrees Fahrenheit for standard models, and -40 to +122 degrees Fahrenheit for IR illuminator capable models. Like the complete camera series, MIC IP Power Supplies are built to survive harsh environments and have a high tolerance for shock and vibration.

Tierra bola de nieve (en inglés, Snowball Earth), glaciación global o superglaciación es una hipótesis paleoclimática que sostiene la ocurrencia durante el período Criogénico de una o varias glaciaciones de escala global, durante las cuales la totalidad de los continentes y océanos de la Tierra quedaron cubiertos por una gruesa capa de hielo y alcanzaron temperaturas medias de -50 °C. La Tierra surcaría entonces el espacio como una gran bola blanca de hielo, de ahí su evocador nombre.

Sus defensores sostienen una duración de al menos una decena de millones de años, lo que convertiría a este evento no solo en la mayor glaciación jamás experimentada por la Tierra sino también en la más duradera. Se cree que su impacto sobre la biosfera fue tal, que la vida estuvo cerca de desaparecer por completo del planeta.

Se han propuesto al menos cuatro eventos de glaciación global hace entre 750-580 millones de años, aunque con causas y magnitud diferentes, por lo que el término "Tierra bola de nieve" a veces se usa de forma genérica para referirse a glaciaciones de alcance casi global, y no solo al episodio de hace 750 millones de años.

La teoría todavía es objeto de controversia científica. En particular se carece de consenso sobre el mecanismo generador y su extensión real. Algunos científicos, sobre la base de una reinterpretación del registro geológico, niegan que fuera global y la reducen a un evento de alcance similar a las recientes glaciaciones del Holoceno.

Historia

Aunque en su formulación actual a veces se la atribuye a Hoffman, se trata de una teoría de lenta gestación, fruto del trabajo de numerosos científicos a lo largo de cinco décadas, durante las cuales ha acumulado nuevas evidencias y refinado sus planteamientos. Desde 1985 el número de artículos científicos publicados ha experimentado un notable incremento, probablemente no ajeno al aumento de la inquietud suscitada por la teoría del cambio climático antropogénico.

La constatación de la existencia de depósitos glaciales proterozoicos data de 1871 con la publicación de los estudios de Thomson sobre yacimientos escoceses. Desde entonces se sucedieron los hallazgos de nuevos yacimientos en distintas partes del mundo.

Se considera que el geólogo Sir Douglas Mawson (1882-1958) fue la primera persona en hablar de una glaciación global; para entonces ya se habían publicado casi treinta artículos sobre nuevos yacimientos. Este explorador antártico descubrió depósitos de tillitas en el sur de Australia a los que, de acuerdo con la creencia de una distribución continental inmutable, atribuyó erróneamente un origen ecuatorial y en consecuencia propuso una glaciación de magnitud global.

En 1964, W.B. Harland presentó datos paleomagnéticos que evidenciaban las existencia de tillitas en Svalbard y Groenlandia que fueron depositadas a latitudes casi ecuatoriales. Consideró que la existencia de estos depósitos, cuyo espesor y magnitud indicaban una ubicación casi costera, era una clara evidencia de una glaciación global. Sin embargo, en los años sesenta la propia teoría de la tectónica de placas estaba en pleno debate científico, y tanto la reconstrucción continental como la posibilidad de una glaciación global fueron ampliamente puestas en entredicho.

La hipótesis de Harland recibió un fuerte apoyo cuando Mijaíl Budiko, un reputado científico considerado uno de los padres de la climatología cuantitativa, desarrolló un modelo numérico para investigar el efecto sobre el clima de las variaciones en la radiación solar debidas a las emisiones de polvo volcánico y a cambios orbitales (los ciclos de Milankovitch). Una parte fundamental de su modelo era el mecanismo de realimentación del albedo del hielo. Los resultados indicaron que cuando la cubierta de hielo alcanzaba los 50º, se producía una realimentación del albedo descontrolada capaz de cubrir de hielo todo el planeta. Aunque el modelo se desarrolló para analizar las variaciones del clima durante el Cuaternario, demostraba la posibilidad de glaciaciones globales.

El descubrimiento de las fumarolas negras en las dorsales oceánicas en 1977 y la existencia de importantes comunidades de organismos extremófilos asociadas a ellos, totalmente independientes del sol para su subsistencia, eliminó otro escollo de la teoría. La vida habría podido sobrevivir a una glaciación global en tales ecosistemas.

Como síntesis de todas estas aportaciones en 1992 J.L. Kirschivink, acuñó por primera vez el término de "snowball earth". En un breve capítulo de libro enunciaba formalmente la teoría al proponer un posible mecanismo de glaciación, otro de escape de la misma, y de dotarla de contraste hipotético. Según él, la distribución mayoritariamente ecuatorial de las masas continentales durante el neoproterozoico aumentó el albedo terrestre precisamente en la zona de mayor irradiancia y menor nubosidad del planeta. Este efecto se pudo ver intensificado si además existieron grandes superficies de mares someros altamente reflejantes. Este aumento del albedo -postuló- pudo ser suficiente para iniciar una glaciación ecuatorial. El escape del periodo glacial pudo producirse por un efecto de invernadero por acumulación de CO2 de origen volcánico, y facilitado por la interrupción de su asimilación por los océanos y la tierra, ambos desconectados de la atmósfera por el hielo. Una condición necesaria para este escape era que las temperaturas en los polos no alcanzasen los -80 °C pues entonces todo el CO2 se habría precipitado como hielo seco -tal como ocurre en lo polos de Marte-, dejando la atmósfera sin gases de invernadero. Este mecanismo tendría varias implicaciones susceptibles de ser verificadas:
 Se precisaría de una elevada sincronía de todos los depósitos glaciares de la época.
 Estos poseerían una elevada similitud estratigráfica.
 Deberían aparecer importantes capas de argillitas laminadas como consecuencia de la reoxigenación de un mar anóxico.

En 1998 Paul Hoffmann y su equipo dieron un nuevo y definitivo impulso a la teoría con el análisis estratigráfico e isotópico de importantes formaciones geológicas en Namibia, correspondientes al antiguo cratón del Congo. Aportó nuevos datos sobre la amplitud, duración e impacto en la biosfera. El aspecto más sorprendente de sus investigaciones eran las evidencias de una brusca transición, en términos geológicos, de la fase glacial a una fase de invernadero de elevadas temperaturas. Hoffman lo atribuía a la súbita liberación atmosférica del CO2 de origen volcánico hasta entonces acumulado en capas subaéreas. Esta brusca transición explicaba la formación de grandes depósitos carbonatados sobre las tillitas y la formación de arcillas ferrugíneas bandeadas. Se estima que la concentración de CO2 pasó de valores mínimos a concentraciones del orden de 350 veces la actual. El análisis isotópico de los carbonatos reveló que el carbono de los estratos glaciales era extremadamente bajo en 13C, lo que indicaba una falta casi total de actividad biológica marina. Las fluctuaciones de este isótopo indicaban además que, en aquella era, hubo varios ciclos de glaciación y deshielo.

Finalmente el equipo franco-estadounidense DTM (Deep Time Modelling), dirigido por el climatólogo Yannick Donnadieu (que trabaja en el CNRS francés), con el apoyo de simulaciones informáticas del modelo GEOCLIM, ha renovado el debate sobre las causas que provocaron la glaciación. De acuerdo con sus simulaciones, la ruptura del supercontinente Rodinia facilitó un aumento de la escorrentía y en consecuencia un mayor consumo de CO2 atmosférico por meteorización de los silicatos. Como resultado la concentración de CO2 atmosférico pudo descender hasta los valores necesarios para iniciar la glaciación.

Proceso

Se cree que el desencadenante principal pudo ser un descenso en la concentración atmosférica de los gases de efecto de invernadero como el CO2 y CH4. Curiosamente este descenso situaría su concentración en niveles similares a los actuales, no obstante debe recordarse que hace 900 Ma el Sol era aproximadamente un 6 % más débil y la Tierra precisaba de un mayor efecto de invernadero para obtener temperaturas "habitables".

La causa de este descenso parece ser diferente para el CO2 (dióxido de carbono) y para el CH4 (metano).
En el caso del CO2, varias causas pudieron contribuir a un drástico descenso. Donnadieu propuso la combinación de tres fenómenos geológicos que acelerarían el proceso de meteorización de los silicatos, reduciendo su concentración atmosférica. Geológicamente, la concentración atmósfera-océano del CO2 está en equilibrio. La cantidad de gas que ambos reservorios acumulan depende del balance entre los procesos de aporte y eliminación, que a escala planetaria configuran un ciclo de unos 100 000 años. El suministro se debe principalmente a las emisiones volcánicas y a las emanaciones metamórficas. Su presencia en el vapor de agua acidifica las nubes provocando una lluvia ácida que es neutralizada por los silicatos en una reacción de meteorización durante la cual el CO2 es transformado en CaCO3. Una vez disuelto en el agua de los ríos como ion HCO3- es devuelto al océano, La eliminación ocurre en el océano a cargo de los organismos calcificadores (principalmente algas y cianobacterias, pero también protozoos y algunos metazoos) que lo usan como elemento de sostén en forma de carbonato. A la muerte de estos precipita creando enormes depósitos sedimentarios que subducen con la corteza oceánica en las dorsales oceánicas, reincorporándose así al magma y cerrando el ciclo. Como la meteorización de los silicatos es el proceso más lento, de forma global el ciclo se acelera en épocas cálidas y húmedas y se hace más lento en las frías y secas.
Donnadieu propuso que la anómala distribución tropical de las tierras emergidas durante el Periodo criogénico, en forma de un gran continente denominado Rodinia, aceleraría la tasa de meteorización de los silicatos, pues en los trópicos el clima es idóneo para ello. Esta aceleración se vería reforzada por dos fenómenos adicionales, por un lado hace 830 ma Rodinia comenzó a fracturarse provocando que el clima continental del interior evolucionara hacia otro más tropical al disminuir la continentalidad. El otro fenómeno fueron las masivas erupciones volcánicas de hace 730 ma del ártico canadiense, entonces localizado en pleno ecuador, y que generaron masivas coladas basálticas. El basalto es especialmente sensible a la meteorización. En conjunto estos tres fenómenos aceleraron la meteorización y provocaron un descenso masivo del CO2 atmosférico reduciendo el efecto invernadero.

La reducción del otro gas, al parecer implicado, es más simple pero está menos contrastada. El CH4 (metano) es suministrado a la atmósfera principalmente por los organismos metanogénicos y es eliminado por oxidación con el O2 atmosférico. Los niveles actuales de O2 determinan una duración media de 10 años, pero en la atmósfera primitiva mucho más pobre en oxígeno, su duración, y por tanto su acumulación, serían muy superiores. El efecto invernadero del metano es unas 30 veces superior al del CO2. Se cree que la proliferación de los organismos fotosintéticos ocasionó un brusco aumento del O2 y descenso del metano. No obstante se sabe que el boom de los primeros organismos fotosintéticos ocurrió hace unos 2400 ma, en coincidencia con las glaciaciones huronianas, otros grandes episodios de glaciación mucho más antiguos pero no de carácter tan global.

Los resultados obtenidos por diferentes investigadores, aplicando estas condiciones de partida a modelos climáticos, difieren en la magnitud del fenómeno, desde una glaciación global con una tierra completamente cubierta por una capa de hielo de varios kilómetros de espesor; hasta una tierra en la cual los casquetes glaciares de ambos polos se extienden hasta latitudes casi ecuatoriales, pero que dejan libre de congelación los trópicos. En cualquier caso todos los modelos verifican el efecto albedo descontrolado predicho por Budiko, en el que el hielo aumenta la proporción de luz solar reflejada y devuelta al espacio, la tierra conserva menos energía solar, y en consecuencia se enfría aún más.

Este proceso se autoalimenta o retroalimenta hasta llegar a su lógico final: la extensión máxima de los casquetes, convirtiendo la Tierra, hace 750 millones de años, en un planeta totalmente helado, con una temperatura de -20 grados en el ecuador y de -80 en los polos.

Consecuencias para la vida
También se ha sugerido que los periodos de frío intenso han sido un obstáculo para la evolución de vida multicelular. Los embriones más antiguos conocidos, procedentes de la formación de Doushantuo en China, aparecen sólo un millón de años después de que la Tierra emergió de una glaciación global, sugiriendo que la capa de hielo y los fríos océanos podrían haber impedido la aparición de vida compleja. Por ejemplo, los organismos ediacáricos, también conocidos como biota del periodo Ediacárico (que representan los organismos multicelulares complejos más antiguos conocidos), aparecieron poco después de que la Tierra se desheló después de la extensa y última glaciación del periodo criogénico.

Dos cuestiones fundamentales

Dos cuestiones fundamentales se plantean.
 ¿Cómo salió el planeta de este círculo vicioso? Todo indica que fueron los mismos volcanes los que lo hicieron. En efecto, en un mundo de hielo, el balance de la actividad volcánica es positivo en CO2 (pues lo emiten los volcanes), y la atmósfera llegó a alcanzar una concentración 350 veces más alta que la actual. El efecto de invernadero hizo subir la temperatura hasta conseguir que al menos una parte del mar se descongelase.

 ¿Cómo sobrevivió la vida? En esta época la vida estaba constituida por microorganismos acuáticos. Algunas especies pudieron sobrevivir porque al congelarse lentamente el agua se transforma en hielo muy transparente, y la escasa luz que lograba atravesar la enorme capa de hielo sobre el mar bastaba para mantener el primer eslabón de la cadena alimenticia. Otra posibilidad más plausible es que las cianobacterias pudiesen sobrevivir en las numerosas fumarolas del fondo marino (en las dorsales oceánicas), sin necesidad de la luz solar y del oxígeno, alimentándose de carbonatos y CO2, y formando un ecosistema que seguramente no fue perturbado por la glaciación.

For the 4th day of 10 Days Of OPI I've chosen Bright Lights Big Colour. This colour was suggested on my OPI collection post and to be honest I'd only used this colour once, and I have no idea why! After painting my nails with it again I've found a new love. The coral varnish packed with gold shimmer, I cannot wait to wear this in the bright sun in the summer. When I wore it, all I could think of was resting on the golden sands and swimming in the cool sea. I love this shade and it only needed 2 coats! It looks so gorgeous on the nails and I can't wait to paint my nails with it again. Thank you Hillary for suggesting it, I've found my summer shade! Like many other of the OPI polishes this lasted a good 4-5 days before any chipping occurred. It's not too late to suggest what colours you want in the 10 Days Of OPI, comment on this post here.
What do you think of this shimmery shade?
What's your favourite colour so far in the 10 Days Of OPI series?

Los Angeles Film Festival
The evergreen topic of kids' competitions gets a new twist in "Jump!" a winning documentary about competitive jump roping that follows a group of charismatic young athletes from intensive training to the sport's world championships. Yes, to these kids, their families, coaches and supporters, jump roping is a serious sport that some affirm will one day become an Olympic event. Enlivened by spirited subject matter, engaging interviews and remarkable athleticism, "Jump!" has all the right moves for sustained festival play and could find a welcome reception in limited theatrical release before landing adroitly on TV and DVD.
No longer limited to a playground pastime or traditional double-dutch leagues, jump roping now involves 400,000 boys, girls and teens worldwide in local, regional and national events, culminating in the biennial world competition. Docu producer Helen Hood Scheer stepped into this unfamiliar arena for her directorial debut, following six teams of jumpers over two years beginning in 2005.
Scheer focuses on promising competitors from each team, including 19-year-old world champion Marcus, powerhouse high school teammates Nick and Jeff and speed demon Tori, 12. In-depth personal interviews with the athletes, as well as their coaches and family members, along with scenes of training sessions, establish each subject's personality and competitive goals.
Marcus, Nick, Jeff and Tori are among the contenders who go on to the annual ESPN-broadcast national competition that forms the centerpiece of the docu as the filmmakers feature the top athletes and most imposing events. Originality and risk-taking are among the hallmarks of jump roping, inspiring competitors to devise increasingly complex and challenging routines that they are surprisingly open to sharing with others.
Scheer's informal interviews and mobile digital camerawork spotlighting intense contest sequences adeptly capture the essence of the sport. Scott B. Morgan's dynamic editing, employing split screen and widescreen, multiple-image techniques, echoes the jumpers' creativity. While the filmmakers' enthusiasm for the sport is equal to their subjects', some repetitive sequences are unnecessary and several scenes and interviews that are marred by poor audio or unfocused shots could be edited or handled in voice-over. The multiplicity of participants is sometimes difficult to follow and overall at least 10 minutes could be cut from the 100-minute running time.
Throughout the film, the contestants make a lasting impression with their skill, determination, camaraderie and anything-goes enthusiasm. "Jump!" amply demonstrates that jump roping is a rapidly growing sport that deserves a place alongside more traditional athletic events -- and maybe even a shot at the Olympics.

Primitive Technology es un canal de YouTube creado por John Plant. Las grabaciones tienen lugar en el norte de Queensland, Australia, en dicho canal se demuestra el proceso de fabricación de herramientas y edificios utilizando solo materiales encontrados en la selva. En 2015, el canal tuvo alrededor de 9 millones de suscriptores y más de  600 millones de visitas hasta enero de 2019.

Antecedentes
Plant describe el contenido del canal como un hobby, y dice que él "vive en una casa moderna y come comida de estos tiempos". Dijo en un comentario en un video de enero de 2018 que él es el propietario de la tierra en la que filma los videos. Según cuenta en su página web, no tiene antepasados aborígenes y tampoco ha recibido ningún entrenamiento por parte del ejército australiano.

Según contó a Michelle Castillo, periodista de la CNBC en 2017, Plant tiene más de 30 años y tiene un grado universitario en ciencias, pero no ha trabajado profesionalmente en ello. Manifestó su pasión por subsistir en la naturaleza comenzó a una edad temprana: a los 11, cuando construía chozas por el arroyo detrás de su casa utilizando solo materiales naturales.

Descripción
En cada una de las secuencias de vídeo se muestra el progreso en la realización de uno o más proyectos que demuestran las técnicas y métodos he utilizado para crear herramientas o edificaciones.

DAVAO CITY – Around 500 Department of Education (DepEd) partners of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) are convening in a series of consultations from March until April 2014.
Provincial meetings have been slated March 20 for Davao del Sur, March 25 for Davao City, March 31 for Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley, and April 3 for Davao del Norte.
The activity aims to provide updates on the implementation status and development of the program in the respective provinces, as well as identify gaps and issues and propose strategic actions to appropriately address these gaps.
"The DSWD is now embracing the challenge of the new normal. We, as stakeholders of the program, have equal take on responding to these new challenges. By working together, no poor family will be left behind," said Araceli M. Layog, Regional Program Coordinator for Pantawid Pamilya.
Pantawid Pamilya has three operational systems – the Beneficiary Data Management System (BDMD), Compliance Verification System (CVS) and the Grievance Redress System (GRS).
The BDMD corrects and updates household information and status. The CVS, on the other hand, monitors the beneficiaries' compliance to conditions, while, the GRS responds to complaints, issues and concerns relative to program implementation.
These three systems work hand-in-hand to ensure the smooth implementation of Pantawid Pamilya in the region.

Kalahi-CIDSS Barangay Sub-Project Management Committee Chair Rey E. Jaboneta observes the Construction of the 200 linear meter drainage line canal in his village in Barangay New Panay, Maragusan, Compostela Valley.
MARAGUSAN, COMPOSTELA VALLEY -Amidst the heat and humidity, the people of Barangay New Panay were overwhelmed as they finally witnessed the Turnover and Blessing of the drainage canal community project that they've been working on for the past few months.
Held in New Panay Elementary School, said turnover of the 200 linear meter drainage line canal was attended by Mayor Caesar C. Colina Sr., Barangay Captain George Jacosta, barangay officials, family beneficiaries, Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Assistant Regional Director for Operations Ma. Vilia L. Vigil, Kalahi-CIDSS Community Development Specialist Mr. Nick Elvi Digol, teachers, students, and Kalahi-CIDSS community volunteers.
Kalahi-CIDSS, now known as National Community-Driven Development Program (NCDDP) is the flagship program of DSWD along with the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program and the Sustainable Livelihood Program.
It is a poverty reduction project where decision-making resides in the community.
Volunteers, through the NCDDP Community Empowerment Activity Cycle (CEAC), are taught to analyze their situation, identify their needs, manage their finances and procure materials for their prioritized sub-project.
This drainage project here was initiated to alleviate problems that hinder the community from attaining economic stability as it aims to mobilize the people's active participation in implementing projects.
For the past years, the community struggled with their recurrent drainage problem. The water would continuously overflow when heavy rains pour in the barangay.
Students, especially, would suffer from this because the flood also seeps into their classrooms leading to high rate of absenteeism.
Consequently, students will be deprived of education -the higher the illiteracy rate, the bigger the chance that the economy of the community would waver.
"Students are our investment to attain a better life in the future. We agreed on a project that would serve as a foundation in reducing poverty. Poverty is like a cycle in the community and we want to cut the chain," Barangay Sub-Project Management Committee (BSPMC) Chair Rey E. Jaboneta explained.
Even the children in the village were pleased. Their boisterous sounds of laughter were heard all over the place, heralding that their own community is once again taking another leap towards progress.
DAVAO CITY -Consistent with its commitment of delivering healthcare for all, specifically for the poor and the marginalized, the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) will join forces with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) as it delivers its new ALAGA KA Program.
Alaga Ka Program is an integrated marketing scheme aimed at keeping the members informed of their PhilHealth coverage, benefits and other public health programs of the Department of Health (DOH).
In collaboration with the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Health (DOH), Philippine Academy of Family Physicians (PAFP), Association of Municipal Health Officers, and other Non-Government Organizations, the ALAGA KA Program aims to advocate the National Health Insurance Program (NHIP) to poor families identified in the DSWD Listahanan throughout the country.
Listahanan is a database of poor households and being used as reference in identifying beneficiaries of social protection services. It locates who and where the poor are.
The ALAGA KA Program will be launched on March 24 in 17 regions nationwide.
The regional launch is slated at the National Comprehensive High School Covered Court, Nabunturan, Compostela Valley Province.
Expected to attend are 4,408 Listahanan-identified poor families.
Lined-up activities for the launch include Members' Orientation on Tamang Serbisyo Kalusugang Pampamilya (TseKap), Maternity Package and No Balance Billing, Amendment/Updating of Listahanan Member's Record, Profiling and Enlistment of Members to TseKap, and Provision of Point Care Benefits.
A Help Desk will also be put up to respond to inquiries and complaints from members.
Beneficiary of Kalahi-CIDSS High School Classroom Elki Mae L. Ubanan relates how the community sub-project enabled her and her fellow students attend school in their own village without having to hike far.
KAPALONG, DAVAO DEL NORTE – The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) paved its way to another milestone in empowering poor communities as it launched Kalahi-CIDSS PAMANA (Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan) peace-promoting community projects here.
The launch was led by Mayor Edgardo Timbol, Regional Director of DSWD Priscilla N. Razon, together with the Local Government Officials, Davao del Norte provincial representatives, volunteers and project beneficiaries.
Conducted with the launch was the Municipal Orientation with 10 participants from the town's 14 barangays who were oriented on the process, implementing policies, management of sub-projects, community structures to be organized, among others.
As Kalahi-CIDSS [now known as National Community-Driven Development Program] sets off a new cycle in Kapalong, aside from its primary goal in alleviating poverty and improving local governance, it also focuses on peace and development in the community specifically in conflict affected barangays (CABs).
She also challenged barangay beneficiaries to really make this project sustainable and really meet its goal in 2014.
Elki Mae L. Ubanan, 15, who benefitted from the program earlier, admitted that the Kalahi-CIDSS project empowered those students who were deprived of education.
Now, they have a school in Barangay Florida through the initiative of Kalahi-CIDSS with the support of the community. The sub-project called "1 unit, 3 High School Classroom Building" was conceived to provide decent classroom to the students.
She is very delighted that other youths like her who live in far-flung and conflict-affected barangays would also enjoy the same privilege she had.
Following the MOA signing, the barangay captains, councilors, community volunteers and purok leaders also took part in "Panaad sa Pagsuporta", a symbolic act wherein participants pledged their commitment for the project.
Shortly after the pledge, all participants from the LGU and DSWD signed the Manifesto of Support to signify their dedication to work together for peace and development.
Among the projects DSWD has brought in the town are Pantawid Pamilya, Social Pension for Senior Citizens, Sustainable Livelihood and Supplementary Feeding.
Salome Fuertes of Brgy 19-B, Davao City shares her story as a Parent Leader during the 2nd General Assembly.
DAVAO CITY -"Parent leaders are vital instruments in the efficient implementation of the Pantawid Pamilya program in the area.
One of the primary objectives of the program is the investment in human capital, empowering and capacitating parent leaders to become actively involved in community endeavors," emphasized Evangeline Grandeza, Family Development Session (FDS) Focal Person of Pantawid Pamilya during the recently held Parent Leaders General Assembly at the Gulf View Beach Resort.
Some 150 Parent Leaders from all 12 barangays of the first district of Davao City – Magtuod, Maa, Dumoy, Bago Gallera, Bago Aplaya, Bucana, 21-C, 20-B, 19-B, Matina Crossing, Matina Pangi, Matina Aplaya gathered for a day of fun-filled activities.
"Pantawid Pamilya Parent Leaders volunteer their time to assist the Pantawid City Links and ensure smooth program implementation in the barangays. They do not receive any remuneration for their work.
"This [assembly] is our simple way of thanking them," shared John Edward Magbanua, DSWD Social Welfare Officer 3 for Davao City.
46-year old Salome Fuertes of Barangay 19-B has been a true blue advocate ever since the program started.
"Sa una ako gyud ang padre de pamilya, akong bana gasalig lang sa akoa apan dako kaayo akoang pasalamat nga atungod niini nga programa dili lang ako, apil akong bana naka-amgo sa iyang responsabilidad sa pamilya (Before, I consider myself as the head of the family. I am very grateful to the program because it not only helped me but it also helped my husband to learn and understand how to be the head of the family. The program has taught him his responsibilities to our family)," recalled Salome.
"Bisan sa pagkamatay sa akoang bana niadtong Agosto 29, 2013, wala gihapon ko gibiyaan sa programa. Tungod kay awtomatiko man ko nga miyembro sa Philhealth, gamay na lang amoang nabayaran sa SPMC (Southern Philippines Medical Center) imbis nga P26,000.00 total bill, P4,000 na lang ang amoang nabayaran kay gi-shoulder sa PhilHealth ang P 22,000.00 (Even when my husband died last August 29, 2013, the program never abandoned me. As I became automatic member of PhilHealth, we only payed P 4,000.00 out of the total bill of P26,000.00. PhilHealth covered the remaining P 22,000.00), she added.
Salome's husband died of diabetes and left her to care for their six children.
