The network, the internet and the Web
Were years of the Cold War, the ongoing tension between the communist world led by the Soviet Union and the capitalist world led by the U.S., and the first idea of the electronic network was not having a central command so that he could keep the links in the event of destruction of some points by a war between the two blocks in tension.
So the network should be mounted without a central command, a system in which all points (network nodes) had autonomy and where the data transmitted in any direction or order not to lose the contents, the project was outlined ARPAnet Paul Baran, designed by Agency Advanced Research Projects (Advanced Research Projects Agency) of the U.S. government.
But the network went out of military control in 1970 and crisscrossed four U.S. universities, but in the next 4 years the number grew to 40. The exchange of messages and files becomes possible, and universities launch several projects, among them, the Project Gutenberg Michael Hart with the publication of books, the University of Illinois in 1971.
That same year, it created the first commercial network in the U.S., Telenet, as an access service.
The name has been used only in Internet 1982. In 1983, Vinton Cerf and Khan create the network communication protocol, TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol), the common basis of instructions and codes used by all computers connected to the network today.
But the Web as an application protocol only arrived in 1991, with the hypertext system, prophesied by Ted Nelson years before, and now implemented by Tim Berners-Lee, came the Web, the World Wide Web
Thus the metaphor of the network becomes years later an electronic means of communication the internet, and in the 90s a mode of communication between billion person who is the Web
Social networks were only possible within this universe of hypertext with the Internet as a medium.

Communication, Noosphere y Corpus Christi
The idea that the universe has a soul or a spirit, (noon – mind or soul), bring new thinking about the meaning of our being, thinking that the current philosophy already hosts, as in Morin:
"The noosphere is not only the means driver / messenger of human knowledge. Also produces the effect of a fog screen between the cultural world, which advances surrounded by clouds, and the world of life. Thus, we find a paradox largest ever faced: what makes us communicate is at the same time, which prevents us from communicating. "(MORIN, 2001).
In etymological terms, religion is what the "reconnection", ie, that which impels us to communicate with each other in the Christian meaning, what leads us to "Love one another" and that is exactly what we relink the Noosphere, in Teilhard Chardin who coined this word, it is precisely this communication Love (the uppercase agape) we "reconnected" to the Other and the entire cosmos, which to him, a Catholic priest, is the cosmic Christ, his whole cosmic body connecting everyone and everything.
So all Being ontic and the universe are connected to the Supreme Being who is the Being in essence, and just this Being that impels us to communicate, to express this "rewiring" the Other and the Cosmos.
Dreams and visions of Juliana of Liège of Belgium (1193-1258) expressed his Paraco and future Pope Urban IV, who created the date of Corpus Christi, maybe worth rereading for an idea of world-society for which society moves current through the fog, and a cosmos increasingly known and mysterious at the same time.

Lei de Moore tem obstáculos
Moore's Law was first established in 1965 by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel in 1968 and in 1975 became an executive of the company.
The original article on the law, published in electronics in 1965, was focused on economic aspects related to the cost per transistor, previous technology and scale of the new technology that was the scale of the printed circuit board (SI), which grew from small-scale integration (SSI) to medium scale (MSI), then in the 70's came to a large scale (LSI).
But now make chips smaller and smaller, keeping pace with Moore's Law may be more difficult today than it was last year, said William Holt, executive vice president and general manager of Technology Manufacturing Group at Intel, in a speech Jeffries Global Conference on Technology, Media and Telecom in the second week of May, and reported in PC World.
"We are closer to an end than we were five years ago? Course. But are we to the point where we can actually predict the effect, we do not think so. We are confident that we will continue to provide the basic building blocks that allow improvements in electronic devices, "said Holt.
Intel still has the manufacturing technology industry's most advanced chip today, but it was necessary to build many new factories to new process chips, using new materials such as tungsten and Germanium (Ge) to achieve the scale of 90 to 65 nanometers, and more recently the high-k metal gates, 45 nm and 32 nm.
The technologies below 22 nm (called Silvermont) already work with 3D structures but the future must be of graphene and quantum chips, to walk in walking speed that Moore's law.

The story began at lunchtime James Erwin of Rome, Sweet Rome when he took time off to write a story imagining of soldiers, but only a few centuries before, fighting against the Roman soldiers.
The text for the blog was around 13h, 17h and had over 250,000 people reading your story.
But do not stop there one week a call from a Hollywood producer, and in just seven days signed a contract with Warner Brothers to turn the story into a screenplay for the big screen.
He did not disclose the value of the contract, says only a "ridiculous amount of money" and thinks that the minimum for the script will be $ 110,000.

Facebook: more adults fewer young
According to a survey by the Pew Research Center, made with 802 young Americans between 12 and 17 years, young people are bothering with the excessive number of posts and the "drama" in the social network, which in their interpretation is due to the presence of adults.
The study found that a liking for Facebook, youth is precisely the posts "futile" friends on the social network, and secondly there is a concern with the need to manage your reputation online, looking at comments about her.
Now most of the adolescents interviewed were more happy with the use of tools like Twitter and Instagram, reporting that they can express themselves better in those platforms, indicating some already obsolescence Facebook.

Yahoo buys Tumblr
The Yahoo´s CEO Marissa Mayer announce it officially the purchase of Tumblr by Yahoo for $ 1 1 billion (over R $ 2 Billion).
Mayer explained that Tumblr is experiencing a very good time, and Yahoo promises
to "not screw up", referring to the contents of free videos and audios very accessible and Brazil is the second largest country of access to the site, after the United States.
Tumblr was launched in 2007 for the publication of texts, images, links, videos and audios in a microblog format.
Grown rapidly and now has 107 million microblogging platform with over 300 million monthly unique visitors and 120,000 registrations per day.
Tumblr has 175 employees, published in 12 languages, claims to have 107.9 million blogs and 50.7 billion of publications, while Yahoo founded in 1994 has 11 500 employees.
The purchase reflects concern with stiff competition from Google, the company grew 36% in the first quarter of 2013, on March 31 tallied U.S. $ 390.3 million, up from $ 286.3 million in the same period of 2012 but their ad revenue fell 11% in the quarter to $ 455 million, and gains on search engine fell 10% to $ 425 million.

New blog design and Noosphere
This posting is celebrating the launch of the new design of the blog and website (the picture above is digital art of Tatiana Plakhova).
Just as there are the biosphere, developed over millions of years around the terrestrial sphere, according to Teilhard de Chardin, the man emerged as a single species in the biosphere on Earth, breathing in a atmosphere, but subject to a kingdom "neither more nor less than a "sphere" – the Noosphere (or sphere thinking) about coextensively imposed-on (but the more connected and homogeneous) the Biosphere "(Chardin, 1997, p. 102).
Chardin describes the development of the Noosphere in two phases one occupation Biosphere, extension or as he calls it, where "swells in the first half of the path (to the equator [he thinks the poles to the center]) … a very similar pace, proceeds historically the establishment of the Noosphere "(Chardin, 1997, p. 103), and only lately … appearing in the World is the first symptoms folding definitive and global mass thinking inside a hemispherical top … "(Chardin, 1997, p. 104) and says that the first phase had three distinct characteristics:" Settlement, Civilization, Individualization "(idem).
This movement of contraction, which he called "planetarization" in raises "a fear reflected essential element before a whole, apparently blind, whose immense layers bend over it as if to absorb much alive … as Life, after lead us by the hand into the light, it dropped back, exhausted? "(Chardin, 1997, p. 126).
"From this point of view … no room in the eyes that our fears of 'dehumanization by planetarization' are exaggerated, because that planetarization that both frightens us is no more (judging by its effects) that the authentic and direct continuation of the evolutionary process that historically came out type human zoo? (Chardin, 1997, p. 127).
Chardin reaffirms his certainty that the complex "economic, technical, scientific and social" … "Behaves like a body that radiates, irradiation being formed by a free energy, the nature and transformations must be the subject of a brief study" (Chardin, 1997, p. 130).

Mississippi cases continue to draw national attention
Questionable forensic practices in Mississippi have remained in the national news in the wake of the hearings earlier this month clearing two men after they served 15 years for separate murders they didn't commit. The exoneration of Kennedy Brewer and release of Levon Brooks on Feb. 15 has led to serious questions about the work of medical examiner Steven Hayne and forensic dentist Michael West, and the Innocence Project has been joined by several other organizations in calling for forensic reform in Mississippi. Here are excerpts from an Associated Press article running around the country today:
The turn of events has shocked the community, especially the victims' families, and led to accusations that West deliberately falsified evidence.
"You have people who engaged in misconduct and manufactured evidence and we've proved it," said Peter Neufeld, co-director of the Innocence Project, which has won the exoneration of more than 200 inmates nationwide and assembled the expert panel that examined the Brewer case. "These two cases are going to be an eye-opener for the people of Mississippi about some of the problems they have in criminal justice and how easy it will be to make it right."
Brewer, who was released on bail last year, a few years after DNA tests excluded him as the rapist, was finally exonerated by a judge on Feb. 15.
"I ain't worried about the past. I'm thinking about the future," Brewer said. But he offered some advice to prosecutors: "They need to get the truth before they lock up the wrong somebody. It doesn't feel good to be called a rapist and murderer."
The district attorney who prosecuted both defendants, Forrest Allgood, disputed any suggestion that his office knowingly sent the wrong men to prison.
"It torments the innocent individual, undermines the public confidence in the justice system, and the bad guy is still running loose," he said. "Why people would believe that's something we would want to do is beyond me."
Allgood said he has not used West as a forensic expert since the mid-1990s. He said West was once considered one of the world's foremost authorities in his field, lecturing in China and England.
"Subsequently the whole situation turned into a train wreck," the district attorney said.

Q: How do I make an item editor in a flex list component commit it's changes? I have a list component and I have an item editor for the items in the list. I would like to have a button that the user clicks once they are done with their changes because I am having them edit multiple pieces of data in the editor and I would also like to validate the data before closing the editor as well. I just don't know what to do on the button's click event to make the item editor close and commit it's changes to the data provider.

A: You'll want to use a validator to validate the data, and I think maybe do something with the updateComplete and change events to delay the updating of the list component:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Parts&file=celleditor_073_17.html

A: I would use data binding and let Flex do the work for you.
Have an object myObject with a bindable property myList:IList.  Bind the display to this object.
When you start editing, copy that list.
On MouseEvent.CLICK:
var ed:Editor // Your list editing object.
var edProvider:IList = ed.dataProvider;
var targList:IList   = myObject.myList;

var bool:Boolean     = ( myObject.myList.length > edProvider.length );
var len:int          = ( bool )? targList.length: edProvider.length;

var item:*           = null;

for( var i:int = 0; i < len; i++ )
{
    try // a "just in case".  You probably will never have a problem.
    {
        item = edProvider.getItemAt( i );
        targList.setItemAt( item, i );
    }
    catch( error:Error )
    {
        continue;
    }
}

A: To handle the editing of multiple fields in a List control, you will need to catch the ItemEditEnd event and then manually change the fields you are interested in.
See "Example: Using a custom item editor with a List control"  in here - http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=celleditor_9.html#226555.
Usually the List will handle the dispatching of this event for you when you focus out of a cell. I'm not sure of its properties off the top of my head, but you should be able to construct this event in your button click handler, and then just dispatch it yourself.

To create an immersive showsuite for a crown jewel development in Guangzhou, at the base of the Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre, we emphasised the playful and innovative character of K11 Concepts with a holistic environment that included custom fragrances and a surreal design to transport visitors to the wonders of childhood, such as the treehouse of their dreams. Never forgetting the goal of the showsuite, each element combined to create a compelling experience of K11′s unique retail vision.
We wanted to match the strong brand image of K11 in the retail showsuite, yet were equally focused on giving visitors a coherent story to explain the multi-sensory extravaganza in the space. With aspects of urban farming, a vibrant arts program, the tallest tower in Guangzhou and an attitude of experimentation all coming together in one space, it was necessary to retain a simple and direct message that would be memorable and impactful.
We began the project by identifying the marketing elements that were key to retail tenants looking to partner with a dynamic brand like K11. Through exploring many combinations of content, we arrived at a visitor journey that builds a compelling picture of the K11 retail experience. The visitors start with a strong impression of brand values, then move on to understand the project details and finish their journey in a surreal treehouse environment. Each step of the journey is a memorable sensory installation.
The entry experience surrounded visitors with moving images and fantastical vegetation to show K11's focus on Nature and creativity, which was exemplified by the banyan tree theme of the mall. The imaginative environment gave guests a taste of what was to come and changed their perceptions as they transitioned from the hallway to the brand show suite.
After stepping out of the entry room, visitors were introduced to the context surrounding the new development with detailed information about the consumer catchment numbers of greater Guangzhou. The true size of the millions of potential consumers was communicated through wall graphics and urban models that were programmed to light up.
One of the most immediate attributes of the K11 Mall was that it formed the podium of the tallest building in the entire Pearl River Delta. The Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre loomed large over the other tall buildings of the region in the wall cutouts that showed the true heights of the towers. To further show the impressive size of the Finance Centre, a scale model that showed the detailing and materials of the facade reached for the ceiling.
Visitors were shown the intricacies of the mall design and layout in a larger-scale kinetic model. It appeared as a static display model, but at the press of a switch it raised, opened and revealed the circulation, atrium and design elements of the mall interior. To enhance the viewing experience, a video was projected simultaneously on a screen behind the model, providing supplementary information for each floor of the mall.
The journey culminated in a cosy and inspiring modern treehouse lounge. Within an enveloping oval of wood slats, the space provided a perfect combination of openness and visual privacy to have discussions on the details of the retail plan for the mall. It gave visitors a look into the creativity and ambition of the development team at K11 Concepts who are intent on changing the way retail is perceived in China.

Q: Create database in Google Cloud Platform (Second Generation SQL instance) For first generation SQL instances, it is possible to create databases. For Second Generation, there seems to be no option to create a database. How does this work? What is an SQL instance without databases?
And more importantly: how do I integrate that with my django project? I need to setup the following:
if os.getenv('SERVER_SOFTWARE', '').startswith('Google App Engine'):
    # Running on production App Engine, so use a Google Cloud SQL database.
    DATABASES = {
        'default': {
            'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
            'HOST': '/cloudsql/my-project-id',
            'NAME': 'foobar', # TODO: what to put here?
            'USER': 'root',
        }
    }

A: This is what I was able to find out:
Second Generation SQL instances are normal MySQL instances (as are First Generation instances), but the user interface in the Google Cloud Platform does not allow for the same operations that are available for First Generation instances. For example:

*

*you can not create databases

*you can not create user accounts

To do that you will need to connect with a mysql client, and do it manually. For that you will need to:

*

*setup a root password

*authorize remote networks

UNM Student Studies Effects of Las Conchas Fire on Soil Chemistry
By Catherine Ortega Klett, NM WRRI Program Manager
The 2011 Las Conchas fire in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico has had lingering effects on nearby surface water and waterways, primarily due to the leaching of burnt soils. Such effects of wildfires are typically exacerbated by the fact that the monsoon season follows after the wildfire season. Amanda Otieno, an NM WRRI 2017 student grant recipient who is completing her master's degree studies in Water Resource Management at UNM, has just published her final report on a field and laboratory study of the chemistry of soils exposed in varying degree to the wildfire. Her faculty advisor for this research is Professor Rebecca Bixby, of the UNM Biology Department. Additional assistance has come from UNM Professor Ali of the Earth and Planetary Science Department and Professor Cerrato of the Civil Engineering Department.
For this study, thirty-two soil samples were collected from the Sierra de los Valles dome within the Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP) in Jemez, New Mexico. Eight samples were collected from each of four different areas classified in terms of burn severity, labeled respectively as high, moderate, low, and unburned areas. The top three inches of soil were collected, and the soil texture type was found to be mostly loamy, containing roughly equal proportions of sand, clay, and silt, although six sandy loam samples, containing less clay, were collected from the unburned area. Equal numbers of samples were taken in winter and spring to capture some seasonal influences.
Soil samples were analyzed chemically by first partially dissolving them in strong acids to produce positively charged molecular fragments in solution (metal cations), and negatively charged counterparts (anions). Dissolved metal concentrations were then determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. In this technique, small samples are sprayed into an extremely hot plasma flame, which produces highly energized metal ions which, in turn, emit light with a spectrum of wavelengths that is different for each element and can, therefore, serve as a means of identification. Since anions are often small molecular groups that would be destroyed by intense heat, a different approach, called ion chromatography, was used to determine their concentration. Chromatography involves the migration of charged molecules in a controlled chemical environment.
The research shows that the Las Conchas fire has had long lasting impacts on the chemical composition of soil in the VCNP. Twenty-two metals were analyzed and sixteen were found to be significantly different among the burn severity categories. The majority of differences were between the high/moderate and low/unburned groups for elements: Al, As, Ba, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Si, Sr, and V. Cobalt and vanadium were the only two metals showing a significant mean difference among sites for both December and April samples. Lead was one of the few elements to show differences between the high and moderate burns. Concentrations of magnesium and nickel in the low burn severity sites differed from those in the remaining three categories. The presence of heavy metals in particular is of concern for their influence on plant and animal life in these environments. Wildfires simultaneously mobilize heavy metals in the soil that are typically inert and restrained, and introduce metals from the overlying vegetation as ash deposits. Burn severity influenced the mean concentrations of metals but there was no trend indicating higher or lower mean concentrations by burn severity, whereas mean anion concentrations appeared to vary collectively with burn severity. The overall distribution of anions was higher in high/moderate burn areas; however, statistical tests showed that this outcome may have been due to chance. The only anions having a significant difference among the four burn categories were bromine in December and nitrite in April.
Soil is a medium for metals and anions to collect, but may also be a transporter of these substances when a disturbance is introduced into a system. A wildfire will disrupt the aggregate capacity of soils, making them more susceptible to erosion during precipitation events. Thus, burnt soils have a high potential for entering and affecting waterways in areas like the VCNP. Continuous inputs of these constituents may possibly affect the aquatic and/or terrestrial environment. It is therefore important to understand the distribution of metals and anions in surface soils of different burn severities, as well as their interaction with nearby surface water. This study helps to describe some of the long-term changes expected for soils exposed to wildfire, which may therefore provide additional insight into achieving better management practices. The New Mexico Environment Department, the Valles Caldera National Preserve, and the Forest Service are examples of agencies that may benefit from such analyses.
The final report for the project entitled: Characterization of Metals in Soil Contributions to Runoff Events Following Wildfires, contains many tables and graphical displays of metal and anion concentrations for the different circumstances considered in the study. These results can be viewed online by clicking here.
NM WRRI Hosts Conference to Prompt Discussion about Evapotranspiration in New Mexico (continued)
Sam Fernald (left), Director of the NM Water Resources Research Institute moderates panel.
The conference program began with a review of NM ET information needs before moving on to an overview of currently available ET measurement processes and modeling techniques. The program concluded with a discussion about specific New Mexico ET modeling efforts. Along with speakers from New Mexico, the program was fortunate to have ET experts from Idaho, Arizona, Alabama, Maryland, Colorado, and New York.
Twenty-five ET conference registrants participated in a field trip immediately following the day-and-a-half conference. The first stop was the NMSU Leyendecker Plant Science Center to view the climate station that is collecting data to be used for calculating reference ET. Dr. Salim Bawazir explained the uses and benefits of the weather station before taking the participants over to his alfalfa study site where his eddy covariance system is located. A local farmer has generously allowed Dr. Bawazir and his students to measure evapotranspiration on his alfalfa field. The data collected from this system will be used to calibrate remote sensing model-parameters to improve ET estimates.
Thomas Schmugge, Sam Fernald, Jesslyn Ratliff, NM WRRI; Jan Hendrickx and Dan Cadol, NM Tech; Zohrab Samani and Hatim Geli, NMSU, coordinated the conference and field trip.

Meet the Researcher: Dr. Alex Rinehart, New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources
To date, he and his team at the Bureau have completed estimates for most of the Rio Grande and neighboring closed extensional basins, the upper Pecos watershed, the Rio Puerco and tributary watersheds, the Ogallala Formation aquifers underlying the Southern High Plains, and the Pecos Slope and Pecos valley from Roswell to Artesia. The primary results of this work highlight the importance of balancing groundwater use with recharge. Much of New Mexico has seen large (millions of acre-feet) storage declines in the last 60 years, with some decades seeing storage declines by as much as three million acre-feet, leading to immediate water supply and/or legal concerns. However, in regions where the groundwater resources have been managed at the basin-scale, or where use is balanced by recharge from rivers or mountain blocks, some large aquifers, like the Albuquerque basin, have stabilized or even slightly rebounded.
Alex recently said, "This work highlights the importance of historical and current monitoring of our groundwater resources. Many regions of the state have lost groundwater level monitoring coverage due to funding constraints, and much of the state simply does not have the historical well coverage to perform the analysis. To know where we are and where we are going with groundwater in New Mexico, it is vital to support long-term groundwater level monitoring efforts."

Environment Climate Crisis
Taking a Close Look at the "Last Ice Area"
David DeFranza
CC BY 2.0. NASA ICE
NASA ICE/CC BY 2.0
Every winter, less seasonal snow and ice forms in the Arctic—spanning Northern Canada, Russia, Alaska, and Greenland in addition to the Arctic Ocean—meaning that the melting from the preceding summer is not replenished. This, in turn, means that the permanent ice in the region is more vulnerable the next summer—and melting rates increase each year.
The cycle is moving in one clear direction: An ice-free Arctic. The only question is how long the remaining ice can last.
The most commonly cited projection shows that the Arctic will experience its first ice-free summer in 2015. Of course, some argue that in a practical sense, the Arctic is already ice free.
Once this ice is gone, what will happen to the people and animals that have survived in this region for centuries? The WWF has attempted to answer this question by looking at a project for 2040 in which only a few tiny slivers of ice—on the edge of Greenland and Canada—remain.
Wildlife in the Last Ice Area
feverblue/CC BY 2.0
Polar bears have become a banner species for climate change and the plight of the Arctic—and with good reason. Polar bears—which have a highly-specialized method of hunting seals and fish through holes and breaks in ice—need sea ice to survive. Already, diminished icepack has resulted in bears taking to open water, swimming as far as 426 miles, in search of hunting grounds. When bears don't find sufficient ice, the consequences can be grissly, with some turning to cannibalism to survive.
READ MORE: Polar Bear Spy Cam Eaten By ... a Polar Bear! Plus Mother & Cub Cuteness
With such a small habitat remaining—which WWF estimates will cover less than 500,000 square miles—the few remaining polar bears in the Last Ice Area will be in close competition with each other for hunting grounds. The proximity of other polar bears, however, will probably be the least of their worries. As temperatures warm, other species move north. By 2040 it is likely that this last Arctic habitat will overlap with that of grizzly bears, which have already demonstrated greater resilience in some parts of Alaska and Canada.
Walruses, too, will feel the strain of a dramatically reduced habitat. Sea ice is essential for the mating and breeding of the species, which use it to congregate in areas that allow for resting near feeding grounds. As ice has been diminished, mothers have been forced to travel farther to find food for their calves—resulting in increased mortality rates and overall lower reproductive productivity.
NOAA/Wikipedia/Public Domain
Seals, which form an essential part of the polar bear diet, are also impacted by the reduction in sea ice. The animals, which spend most of their time at sea, often only come ashore on floating sea ice. As this ice has shrunk, they have increasingly hauled out onto the rocky shore. In addition to habitat loss, a strange disease has emerged, threatening at least one species' survival.
In the Last Ice Area, the small remaining populations of these species will be forced together along a narrow strip of sea ice. This close concentration—combined with the intrusion of sub-Arctic species—will increase the competition among species dramatically, making it ever more difficult for the dwindling survivors to find sufficient food and reproduce.
People in the Last Ice Area
ezioman/CC BY 2.0
Life has never been easy for people in the Arctic, but a radically changing environment is bringing new social and economic challenges to communities that, for centuries, have survived in the icy extremes.
A warmer climate, it turns out, does not necessarily mean a safer environment in the Arctic. Indeed, as the ice melts, shorelines are becoming increasingly unstable, threatening entire towns with rapid erosion and rising sea levels. In addition to this, ice trails—which people have followed for generations as safe passages across the ice—have thinned, making common routes dangerous and unpredictable. Finally, the animal species indigenous to the region have long been the foundation of Arctic peoples' livelihood. As these animals decrease in abundance, it strains local economies. Moreover, those that survive are likely starved and desperate, leading to more dangerous interactions between people and animals.
In all likelihood, however, there will be few people in the Last Ice Area. Most communities indigenous to the Arctic will have moved on, or reoriented their economies to service the influx of shipping and petroleum extraction industries that will rush in once the ice is permanently gone.
If urgent action is not taken to reduce global emissions than the Last Ice Area may indeed be a reality. To protect this tiny sliver of a once vast ecosystem, governments and organizations like WWF must begin working on a management plan today.
This future, after all, gets closer every day.

Malaysia's Internet Traffic Growing at CAGR of 52% since 2012
on Friday, August 31, 2018 at 8:49:27 pm
Malaysia Internet Exchange (MyIX), also known as 'Persatuan Pengendali Internet Malaysia' – a non-profit initiative by the Government of Malaysia, shares that the highest bandwidth that traversed within the MyIX infrastructure has hit a new record 288Gbps in 2018.
MyIX network's data traffic peak points are based on the highest data traffic recorded on a particular day, on a monthly basis. The report compared the traversing data between January–June 2018, to the corresponding period of the previous year January-June 2017. It showed the Internet data patterns and the growth of Internet traffic peered within the national Internet Exchange nodes that directly connects with the country's major ISPs and content providers.
Chairman of MyIX Chiew Kok Hin says, "MyIX has recorded 288Gbps of data travelling per second through its network nodes, the highest bandwidth recorded so far now in the year 2018, equivalent to a 16 percent increase in data travelling per second as compared to the previous year's highest peak point of 248Gbps over the same period."
In Compounded Annual Growth Rate ("CAGR") terms of 6 years (since 2012), MyIX's monthly Internet traffic peak point has increased at a CAGR of about 52 per cent.
MyIX adds that this CAGR of 52 per cent is a very good indication of how massively the country's Internet landscape is speedily developing. "The country's internet connectivity in Malaysia has come a long way. The highest peak point was 23.3Gbps in 2012 while for the 6-month's period of 2018, recorded at 288Gbps."
GE14 and FIFA World Cup 2018 Drove Internet Traffic
In analysing Year 2018 Internet traffic within MyIX network, Chiew shares that the two major events that contributed to the increase in Internet consumption amongst Malaysians in the months of May and June were attributed to the GE14 and 2018 FIFA World Cup respectively. He said, "Malaysians were actively following the news and updates post the historical general election, followed by the 2018 FIFA World Cup fans who watched the tournaments with live coverage from mid June till mid July 2018."
Coincidently, FIFA World Cup 2018 that was held in Moscow, Russia, also marked the most extensive coverage in history; being covered live and shown in 190 different territories across the world, including Malaysia.
"This Internet data traffic growth cumulates from the consumers' access and affordability of more smartphone and tablet, increasing broadband speeds, cloud computing, video streaming, and social media," says Chiew.
New MyIX Members For the Country's Main Peering Network As of August 2018, MyIX reports a total of 93 members that has joined its peering network. This comprises 70 local members and 23 foreign members. The latest additions to MyIX members list include PCCW-HKT Network Services Limited, Telekomunikasi Indonesia International (M) Sdn Bhd, Imperva Inc and Krypton Global Networks (M) Sdn Bhd.
Chiew says, "We are seeing more foreign Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Content Service Providers (CSPs) interested in joining MyIX as they see the benefits from being part of Malaysia's main peering network, for more efficient and cost-effective interconnectivity and to promote efficient routing of traffic via direct peering with their local partners, to reach to Malaysian consumers."
MyIX believes that it can continue to play an important role in driving down connectivity cost and increasing benefits as advocated by Yang Berhormat Gobind Singh Deo, Minister of Communications and Multimedia, for lower retail prices of broadband and increase in speeds.
"MyIX members of ISPs and CSPs, are able to reduce their operational costs – which can either translate to bigger corporate profit (margins), or transfer the cost savings to their customers by offering more competitive data plans," Chiew ends.

About MyIX
MyIX (Malaysia Internet Exchange) is operated by Persatuan Pengendali Internet Malaysia. The non-profit organization was initiated by the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) in September 2006 through the cooperation of local Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to connect and exchange local Internet traffic. MyIX is managed by a committee that comprises elected representatives of local Malaysian ISPs. MyIX's infrastructure consists of 6 Internet Exchange nodes of which
4 are in Bayan Baru, Iskandar Puteri, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. These add on to the MyIX nodes located in the Klang Valley at Menara AIMS (Kuala Lumpur), and CSF 1 (Telekom Malaysia, Cyberjaya). MyIX is modelled after the Amsterdam Internet Exchange and London Internet Exchange, and aspires towards world class Internet Exchange standards. For further information, please visit www.myix.my

Women's Premier Handball League: Leaders GD face Angels
Women's Premier Handball League table-toppers London GD face London Angels in a Capital City derby on Saturday.
West London Eagles play Coventry Sharks, Peninsula take on NEM Hawks, and Cambridge host Olympia.
GD hold a two-point lead over second-place Eagles and go into the match with a 100% record, having won all five of their matches. Angels are seventh in the table with just one victory to their name so far this term, although they've played a game less than sixth-place Cambridge who sit one point above them. Throw-off at Leyton Score Centre on Saturday is at 12.30.
Eagles entertain Coventry Sharks at Barking Sporthouse in what is sure to be a keenly contested match. Coventry are in fifth place but have played just three times. They won their last two matches, after a narrow defeat in their opener against GD. Eagles are bidding for a fourth straight win. They know a victory, combined with a defeat for GD, would move them level on points with their fellow London side at the head of the table. Throw-off on Saturday is at 13.00. The match is followed by the Men's Premier Handball League clash between Eagles and Nottingham at 15.00 in a great double bill.
Promoted Peninsula host NEM Hawks at Oldham Leisure Centre still searching for their first win of the season. Hawks go into the match with their eye on second place. Eagles brought Hawks three-match winning run to an end in their last match. However, Hawks would leapfrog Eagles if they win and Eagles lose, and Hawks overturn a three-goal deficit. Throw on Sunday is at 11.30.
Cambridge and Olympia and meet at Sporthouse Barking on Sunday. Sixth-place Cambridge have lost their last two games, and have won once this season. They will be bidding to turn that form around. Olympia have won two and lost two, and their last three matches have been close affairs, including a nail-biting 23-22 win against London Angels in their previous game. Throw-off is at 13.30 and precedes the Men's Premier Handball League match between the two sides at 15.30.

The Real Horrors Are Humans in HBO's Adaption of Stephen King's 'The Outsider'
The work of Stephen King is populated by haunted souls, not always necessarily in the supernatural sense. His novels are about disturbed psyches and damaged lives, suddenly trapped within incredible events. "The Outsider," a rich HBO adaptation of a King bestseller, opens with a murder and becomes a mystery about whether a man is innocent or guilty, but at its core is about the trembling lives populating its plot.
In a small Georgia town a young boy's body is found in the woods, for detective Ralph Anderson (Ben Mendelsohn) the only viable suspect seems to be local teacher Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman). Terry is arrested and interrogated but he denies the crime. Not only that, but there's proof he was in different places at the same time, making him both a suspect and also not. Witnesses place him at the crime scene however, and there's fingerprint evidence linking him to the murder. Anderson's search for the truth leads to wild discoveries, personal revelations and searing questions about guilt.
Jason Bateman has given himself the hard task of not only starring in "The Outsider," but directing as well, a feat he has already pulled off in Netflix's highly acclaimed "Ozark." As with that show, what first succeeds about his take on Stephen King is the use of atmosphere as an immersive tool. The Georgia woods and suburban spaces become shadowy, eerie places where families and individuals hide rages and pain. He allows the camera to pace with a liquid ease, never using too many abrupt cuts or rushed pacing. Tension is generated with little violence, as when Anderson arrests Terry in the middle of a Little League game, or when the camera pans into Terry's jail cell as another prisoner warns him that he'll soon meet the kind of prison justice meted out to child killers. Bateman also plays with the audience's perceptions, never revealing too quickly what we're dealing with in terms of why Terry would be seen with blood on his face behind a white van, yet claim he was somewhere else at that exact same moment. It's a great mind puzzle, never going for some easy supernatural excuse even after three episodes.
Even the grandest King yarns that have been turned into TV series are actually about the people. This is what makes King such a good writer, there is an underappreciated human element beneath the plots. In "The Outsider" few if any of the characters are one-dimensional. Anderson is haunted by the horrific murder of his own son, and as he investigates this new killing he and his wife constantly deal with their own pain. Terry's wife Marcy (Julianne Nicholson) must also deal with the nightmare of Terry being accused. Bill Camp plays Howie, a family lawyer who defends Terry and stands off with the police who are sure they've caught the right guy. This character also has his own complexities and as the narrative progresses and the story gets stranger, arriving inevitably at a more Kingesque conclusion, new characters drop in with intriguing backgrounds. There's Holly (Cynthia Erivo), an investigator who enjoys checking on the heights of trees and follows the trail of Terry's activities. Marc Menchaca plays Jack, another cop with his own personal demons who has moments of brutally intense acting when experiencing private twists and turns that eventually connect to the grander theme of Terry's case.
Once "The Outsider" becomes more of a conventional thriller, trading over some of its atmosphere for more classic suspense and twists, it still never loses its depths. It is a show about pain and uncertainty. Because this is a Stephen King tale there are scares, and the explanation for what really happened can't help but feel a bit over the top, but like other King adaptations such as "The Mist," where alien creatures terrorize Maine, it's all decoration for down to earth topics. "The Outsider" understands that real, human pain is more soul-shaking than any invented monster.
"The Outsider" premieres Jan. 12 and airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.

Michael Jordan's first 5 words to Allen Iverson when they met
Joseph Cervantes
NBA legend Michael Jordan was not only tough on his teammates but also on rookies, much to the surprise of Allen Iverson.
During Iverson's rookie year, he played in the Shick Rookie Game during the 1997 All-Star Weekend. It was there when he met Jordan, his idol growing up.
In a recent interview with Complex Sport, Iverson revealed the first five words Jordan said to him during the event.
"The first time I ever talked to him was that year, playing in the rookie game," the NBA Hall of Fame guard shared. "I'll never forget it, because he said, 'What's up, you little b–ch?' I'll never forget it. I looked at him like … 'All right, man."
https://twitter.com/ComplexSports/status/1262075964848300032
A month later, Jordan's Chicago Bulls traveled to Philadelphia to play the Philadelphia 76ers and Iverson. Even though the Bulls won in a tightly-contested game, 108-104, Iverson still had a highlight play on him. It was AI's legendary crossover on Jordan, which has become the most memorable play of his NBA career.
Nevertheless, if Michael Jordan was tough on his teammates, it's not that surprising he was tough on rookies. Besides, Allen Iverson wasn't just an ordinary rookie, as he was the No. 1 pick of the 1996 NBA Draft.
Iverson went on to have one of the most dominant rookie seasons in NBA history en route to the Rookie of the Year award. The 21-year-old AI averaged 23.5 points and 7.5 assists in 76 games he played that year. Additionally, he had a very impressive five-game stretch that year, during which he averaged 43.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 7.4 assists.

IB: 36
(See full entry
requirements below)
The Centre for Applied Linguistics offers a unique approach to the study of language: we apply linguistic knowledge and theory to solve real-world problems. On Linguistics with French (BA) you will build an interdisciplinary foundation from leading research in language and communication. Then you will apply your learning to explore, challenge, understand, and address problems and find meaningful solutions. You will be constantly fascinated by the linguistic world around you, and you will be empowered to use language to improve your world.
By studying linguistics together with French, you'll explore the fascinating human capacity for language, while also building your fluency in French. As a linguist, you will learn about the structure and function of language, and about relationships between language and society. You'll also study and practice written and oral communication in French, and learn broadly about communicating across languages and cultures. Your skills in linguistic analysis will support your language learning, and your knowledge of French will complement your work as a linguist. This course opens many career opportunities that require the knowledge and skills of both a modern language and a deep understanding of language, culture and communication.
(75% linguistics, 25% the relevant modern language)
75% linguistics, 25% modern language. 9 modern languages available to study within the School of Modern Languages and Cultures.
Year 1: 120 CATS core (including 30 CATS of language learning).
Year 2: 75 CATS core for Linguistics, plus 30 CATS of language learning; 15 CATS optional for Linguistics modules.
Final Year: 45 CATS core for Linguistics (including Dissertation), plus 30 CATS of language learning; 45 CATS optional.
How will I learn?
You will typically study 5 to 7 modules per year and you will have at least 3 hours' contact time per week for each module. This will take the form of lectures, seminars of about 15 students in which you will discuss the lecture topic with the module tutor, and both written and spoken language classes. You will spend independent study time preparing for classes, reading primary texts, writing essays and working on your chosen language. Additional online materials are available and there will be various events and activities to further enhance your learning. Your own personal tutor will provide additional learning and pastoral support throughout your degree.
12 hours per week.
Lectures vary depending on the module. Seminars are typically around 15 students.
Assessment will normally take the form of 50% coursework and 50% examination. The final degree classification is determined by your second and final year marks, and each contributes 50%.
If you wish to spend a year abroad (which we thoroughly recommend), this will take place in your third year, meaning that you will complete your degree in four years instead of three. All students have the opportunity to apply for an intercalated year abroad at one of our partner universities. The Study Abroad Team based in the International Student Office offers support for these activities, and the Department's dedicated Study Abroad Co-ordinator can provide more specific information and assistance.
You may decide to make use of the optional intercalated third year by organising a work placement in order to gain a deeper understanding of the social and cultural environment of a relevant work environment. The University Careers Office can advise on potential work placement opportunities; however, it will be entirely your responsibility to find and apply for a work placement.
A level: AAB
An A Level (or equivalent) in your chosen language is not a requirement. However, some evidence of language learning ability (e.g. a language at GCSE) is desirable.
BTEC: We welcome applications from students taking BTECs alongside two A-Levels. Students taking BTECs alongside one A Level will be considered on an individual basis.
Contextual data and differential offers
Warwick may make differential offers to students in a number of circumstances. These include students participating in the Realising Opportunities programme, or who meet two of the contextual data criteria. Differential offers will be one or two grades below Warwick's standard offer (to a minimum of BBB).
Warwick International Foundation Programme (IFP)
All students who successfully complete the Warwick IFP and apply to Warwick through UCAS will receive a guaranteed conditional offer for a related undergraduate programme (selected courses only). For full details of standard offers and conditions visit the IFP website.
We welcome applications from students with other internationally recognised qualifications. For more information please visit the international entry requirements page.
Taking a gap year
Applications for deferred entry welcomed.
We do not typically interview applicants. Offers are made based on your UCAS form which includes predicted and actual grades, your personal statement and school reference.
All students who have been offered a place are invited to visit. Find out more about our main University Open Days and other opportunities to visit us.
Linguistics: Understanding Language
What is language? What is it made of? What rules do we follow when we put sounds together to create words and when we combine words to create sentences? How many languages are spoken in the world today, and in which ways are they similar or different? These are some of the questions that you will explore on this module. Using examples from different languages, you will analyse real-life language data in order to develop the practical skills required for linguistic analysis.
Culture, Cognition and Society
In this module, you will gain a thorough and critical understanding of the concepts, theories and research findings of cognitive and social psychology. You will start by learning the fundamental features of cognition, such as perception, attention and memory, before going on to examine the extent to which cognition is influenced by culture and society. By the end of your studies, you will be able to explain key concepts of culture, cognition and society, and describe their principal applications in cross-cultural psychology.
Language in Society
In this module, you will learn to unpack the ways in which language shapes and is shaped by society. You will analyse critically how language operates in different linguistic and cultural settings, using a range of theoretical concepts, empirical research and methodologies to understand, describe and interpret language use in society. This includes an investigative study of language use, during which you will also develop your communication and study skills.
Research, Academic and Professional Skills
Providing a foundation for modules ET214 and ET215, this module will help you develop the research, academic and professional skills needed to succeed at university and beyond. You will explore research, data-collection and analytical methodologies, using real-life examples of language, culture and communication. You will develop an analytical toolkit to serve you in multiple contexts, including your future career. You will also become familiar with research conventions, including ethical approval, literature review, communication and critical understanding of academic writing.
Language Module
Linguistics: Structure, Sound and Meaning
This module provides you with intensive instruction in six core domains of linguistics: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. You will expand substantially on concepts that were introduced to you during Linguistics: Understanding Language. You will work from a wide range of language data to develop your knowledge of findings, theories, and methodologies from these domains. You will build core disciplinary knowledge that is essential to any field of linguistics inquiry, and establish a necessary foundation for advanced linguistic research.
Why do we speak differently in different situations? Can you identify the features of a Geordie and a Scouse accent? Do men and women speak differently, and if so, why? These are questions you will explore as we examine the relationship between language use and social context. Building on module ET119 (Language in Society), you will develop a greater understanding of linguistic variation. With the opportunity to conduct your own research study, you can expect to complete your course armed with a set of theories, insights and skills to enable you to address such questions, and to explore your own questions about the role of language in society.
Communication Modes
In this module, you will learn how the sounds, gestures and facial expressions we make combine with linguistic choices to give meaning to our messages and influence our interpretation of the messages of others. You will develop a deeper awareness of the impact of different modes of communication and increase your understanding of the research and analysis that underpin our knowledge of human communication in all its complexity.
You will develop a research project independently, with the support and guidance of a supervisor, and write a substantial piece of work discussing your findings. You will analyse secondary quantitative datasets, so improving your skills in quantitative research, critical analysis and argument, creative thinking and academic writing. This self-directed project will foster your specific intellectual interests and aptitudes, and provides excellent training if you propose to study beyond undergraduate level. Through taking responsibility for your work, you will develop the important skills of time management and the presentation and communication of empirical research results both orally and in writing.
Examples of optional modules/options for current students
