When you add What Were You Thinking? to your library you will receive all 6 episodes, each with a runtime of approximately 30 minutes.
I love this series, loaded with fabulous interviews and in depth examples of kids led astray by their unformed brains. But I already knew that kids do crazy things. I know I did. These interviews entertained with in-depth examples. I thought the biggest value of these stories was the interspersed neurology research. I would have liked more of that. Having said that, I loved the posts and hope to see more.
If you could sum up What Were You Thinking? in three words, what would they be?
Absolutely! What Were You Thinking connects the social and scientific considerations of how young adults are shaped by their surroundings in our ever-changing world.
Dina does a wonderful job drawing you into the story and engaging her audience.
If you have kids or work with them, this is fantastic work. She consults experts and interviews kids going through extremely tough issues. It's definitely worth a listen.
As a former teacher, we only touched briefly on how minds develop. This is information I wish I had before entering my first classroom. The topics are not easy to listen to but do reflect what teens are thinking and how they respond. More importantly, the program also offers solutions.
You may not agree with some of the topics but it is worth the listen, especially if you are a teacher, going to be a teacher or work with those between 13 and 24.
Every parent of a preteen should listen to this!
I was truly fascinated by how much information they were able to squeeze into each half hour episode. The science and research that they are exploring in the Adolescent brain versus the adult brain was very interesting and enlightening. The interviews we're also riveting. I recommend anyone with children, especially preteens, listen to this entire series and pay close attention to the stories and advice given by the people interviewed.

A really interesting listen - I only wish it could be made into a book. Temple-Raston manages to make complex material accessible to all. Everyone should know about the teenage brain, especially those involved in education, criminology and adolescent mental health.
While I enjoyed this as someone old enough to be a mother, I thought playing it in Highschool could actually do a world of good.
an interesting and thoughtful series on how it can go so very wrong with developing brains and how society should be responding to this very preventable crisis and how some communities/societies are responding and reducing the damage.
Interesting series with a nice variety of topics that are very current at the moment. Nice to listen to an episode on tge way to work.

Let's Look At A Poor Fundraising Appeal Letter I Received Today and Get It Right
I just received this solicitation and organizational update letter from a local nonprofit and had to share it (with its organization, author, and other pertinent people and program names removed and replaced by fake likenesses). It's a nice attempt at its goal but a poor letter and a terrific example for us to look at to understand why. This is the letter:
"The Starfish Preservation League is proud to announce Jo Doe, as our interim Executive Director. The organization is not missing a beat, and continues to deliver our starfish preservation programs in schools and to the community. We are planning for A Night For Starfish (May 30) featuring oceanographer Bo Doe and will be announcing the biologists for the coming Annual Starfish Conference (September 12 - 16) soon. We look forward to seeing you at both events.
"The Board is hard at work during this transition. We have met with our Advisory Committee as well as with some of you, our donors. We have gotten great advice and input.
"The goals of Annual Starfish Conference, to permeate our community with starfish awareness experiences, remains unchanged. We are reaching thousands of people in this community every year. The board and the staff are unwavering in our commitment to our goals.
"We need your help now. If you are considering a gift to Starfish Preservation League, I am asking you to make the decision to support us financially and to reach out to friends and colleagues to ask them to support us now as well. You may use Paypal to respond immediately or send in a check. Our goal is to have 200 new donations of at least $100 each within the next 50 days. This is an ambitious goal and I hope we can report back to you at A Night For Starfish that we have made our goal. Please let us hear from you today.
"Our goal is to raise $20,000 in the next 50 days. You can track our fundraising campaign by becoming a fan of our facebook page, or following us on twitter.
"Sea Sea Bythesea
President, Board of Directors
Starfish Preservation League"
While this letter is a sincere and earnest effort at both informing current donors about a major change at this nonprofit and raising funds - it is a poor letter. I am sure the author meant well and was probably just trying to get the letter done and out to the donors amid a million other things he or she had to do, but it also comes off like this.
What is wrong with it? What could have been done to improve it? Please look at the same text, below, and consider what I've highlighted and what I have to say about the highlighted portions.
"The goals of the Annual Starfish Conference, to permeate our community with starfish awareness experiences, remains unchanged. We are reaching thousands of people in this community every year. The board and the staff are unwavering in our commitment to our goals.
First, let me begin by stating what is done well, here. This solicitation reached me by e-mail (which is cheaper than paper, printing, postage and the time taken to make a mailing), formatted well (appearing, after clicking on the e-mail as a letter on the organization's actual letterhead), complete with live links to all of the events listed, and including live links to the pertinent Paypal, Facebook, and Twitter accounts after the letter's close. The formatted e-mail also includes a photo of youth attending one of their programs. Also, the letter gets to the point. It doesn't ask me to wade through a bunch of information or a long letter. Finally, it conveys a positive energy about the organization's future and potential. For example, including upcoming events and their dates and also disclosing where and how recipients may track the organization's current fundraising goal's progress are both encouraging and inclusive.
You will see, in the draft of the letter just above, that I have used three different colors to highlight what could have been re-done in a second or third draft of this letter to improve it: orange, red, and purple.
The items in orange are best practices errors of the most technical yet important order. In professional nonprofit best practices we always strive to be clear, be informative, and be succinct in both our organizational communications with the public and fundraising communications. For example, the author of this letter in the first line does not open the letter but rather 'gets to the dirt' which is 'hey we have an interim director'. They do not even attempt to address it to its individual recipients or even open with a common professional salutation even as generic as, "Dear Valued Donor:". This letter is indeed succinct (to my point) but frankly too succinct. It is important to use the opportunity of reaching out to supporters by fully communicating and also representing the organization professionally. An opening is part of the opportunity. It can include welcoming donors, thanking donors, or updating donors (or all and more). "Dear Valued Donors: On behalf of Starfish Preservation League's beneficiaries, volunteers, and members thank you for your support."
Next, never assume everyone receiving your organization's letter knows the latest information about changes at your organization (especially if that's what you're announcing). Before jumping into a new interim director being announced, the author should have first clarified that the organization's former executive director had been asked to leave for poor fundraising returns (which is the case, here). Then, in the letter the author could follow with, "...but that an interim executive director has already been hired (who has x, y, and z pertinent experience to be an executive director and for an agency with our cause and goals), and the search for the full time executive director is underway (at q or p progress in the search, and those interested should find qualifications, how to apply, and a job description here or there)".
The second line in the second paragraph is the next item highlighted in orange. The board (why is it capitalized?) met with the advisory committee (again with the capitalization) and no one needs to know this because it should be public record and frankly, the two should be meeting regularly, anyway (and especially if the organization's let the executive director go). In other words, 'we assume you've been meeting'. You don't need to tell us this. The second sentence also states that the board has met with some donors which implies it did so without inviting all donors to this discussion (which is either not necessary to disclose at all or a public relations blunder or - more likely - both). As an organization you want to be inclusive in all communications - especially with your donors and volunteers. You do not want to publicly set some donors apart from others in their importance to the nonprofit. Either invite all donors to meet and provide their advice and input (for what, we do not know - we aren't told) or go ahead and meet with key donors but do not advertise it to all of the donors in an organization-wide letter (some of whom will feel left out or less than, comparably, - and for what? We don't even know.).
The final line, above, highlighted in orange is 'nonprofit public relations 101'. Always state all of the (many different) ways that a donor can get a donation to your organization and include each of the contacts such as the postal address, web address, phone number, etc. they need to reach your organization. Yes, today Paypal is one way that a donor can donate to this agency, but do not instruct donors to give through Paypal or send a check if there are other donation modes, as it is confusing and sounds like it's the only way your organization is taking donations. Instead, state something like, "We remain grateful for all of your support and accept donations however is most convenient for you: Paypal; phone our office at 555-555-5555 with a credit card; mail a check made out to Starfish Preservation League at P.O. Box 222 Sunny Valley, State 99999; or through your company's employees' community giving program" You state explicitly where or how they can get you the donation and you list all of the ways they can give.
The items highlighted above in red indicate the tone of the letter and how the author feels about what's going on at the nonprofit's office and this letter's tone is shaky. By 'tone' I mean the message to read between the lines or what, by the end of the letter, the reader will make of the organization's situation. Your recipients are not dumb - the recipient will get it. You must re-read first and even second drafts of letters sent to donors, volunteers, and other supporters for the tone or underlying message in the letter. What are you indicating whether meaning to or not? The author of this particular letter is trying to reassure the donors in his or her direct language, but everything in red, by the end of this letter, makes the situation sound a bit dire. For example, the quotes begin, "not missing a beat", "we are planning for", "hard at work", but then we read "the goals remain unchanged" (why would we assume otherwise?), and "the board and staff are unwavering" (why would they waver?), and finally, we read, "this is an ambitious goal and hope I can report back to you we succeeded at it" (gulp!). These quotes, as the letter progresses, sound first peppy, then a bit concerned, and by the final quote sounds like the president of the board isn't so sure this current fundraising goal can be achieved. The tone in this letter, overall, is poor at best. It's concerning. You have to read a letter for what the total message is by the end and tighten that up (a good way to do this is to get someone who hasn't seen a first or second, etc. draft of it to read it and let you know how positive (or not) it sounds, overall). Whether the author is or not they need to sound confident about the organization's future and its potential if they are really trying to raise donations. Why should a donor give if the nonprofit's leadership isn't certain of the agency's future? If these sentences are to be improved, some should altogether be removed, others should sound certain and confident, and finally all of it is a lot of yammering.
If you want to tell us these things - show us rather than tell us. For example, how is the board hard at work right now (what are they doing IF it is pertinent)? Otherwise, get this line out of this letter and let us (the readers/donors) assume all is well with the organization because for an established nonprofit with a sound track record, the reader will assume this, if you don't give them cause to think otherwise).
Let me say, too, that the close of this letter is also weak. Listing an organization's social media contacts is not a closing. A closing is an opportunity to reiterate what the organization's mission, current programs and projects are, and what the outcomes or goals of those programs are. In closing, also, invite those that haven't but wish to, to volunteer. "Please join us and volunteer if you'd like. Here's how...phone Bob at 555-555-5555...or e-mail him at..." etc.
Always, always, always say thank you in your closing. These letter recipients are either past participants, donors, volunteers, members, etc. Be grateful which is not only thanks but also including those who've supported your organization before in your nonprofit. It goes far. The author of this letter never said thank you once which is a serious and missed opportunity.
The last batch of improvements I recommend for this letter are in purple. These errors are professional nonprofit fundraising best practices basics. These errors, by the way, to the informed reader make the president appear a fundraising novice (which is fine if he or she is but don't sound a novice in a letter to donors, and sooner than later get that leader educated about best practices and how to actually treat supporters such that it raises funds). The first item in purple, above, is one of my foremost fundraising pet peeves. Never tell donors that the organization is doing good work and has reached a lot of people (or succeeded) in such general or generic terms. The person who wrote this included a lot of content in this letter that frankly in a second or third draft of it could've been cut or at least shortened. In other words, there's room in this letter to actually list a few service statistics that demonstrates the good work done in clear quantifiable facts (or data or results).
Service statistics are the actual (verified and demonstrable or able to be proven) statistics of the organization's services (so, these are usually numbers of people (or beneficiaries - in our example, here, starfish) served, how they were served (i.e. public education, social services, health services, or whatever the mission and program is)), and what the actual (verifiable) outcomes were. This point demonstrates why it is so important for all nonprofits to track their actual service stats, keep those records, and also gather feedback from participants and beneficiaries - not only for fundraising data to provide to demonstrate what the organization has done, but too, for the organization to be able to see what it accomplishes (how and and for how much) and where improvements or modernizations or whatever is needed can be made to programs, services, or maybe even the mission if needed (especially as the stats are tracked over time and compared to the beneficiaries' current or maybe new needs). So, for example, maybe the author could have stated (instead of the first line in purple, above) "In 2012 the Starfish Preservation League conducted three education programs at each of our three local area high schools and the outcome was two of the schools started Oceanography Clubs (after school programs), each involving more than ten student members, committed to helping preserve and protect oceanic wildlife and ocean ecosystems." When I say, above, "show us, don't tell us" this is what I mean. It's one thing to tell a potential donor, 'we have succeeded' it's quite another (more compelling) thing to show them what the organization has actually accomplished in real results and what that accomplishment's outcome (as long as it can be verified) is. One really sounds nice but the other actually raises donations (and even repeat donors). This is why these practices are considered "best practices". They've been proven and work for all kinds of organizations big and small, rich and just starting out.
The final two items, above, highlighted in purple ask for contributions but the requests are in such specific terms that it actually may (and can) preclude a donor who was considering doing so, from giving more! The author had more money come their way but actually reduced what they received! Yipes. For example, maybe I was thinking about giving $200 but when I read the $100 number requested, above, I thought, 'well, heck, that's a discount from what I was considering giving - if that's all they need from me, then that's all I'll give this time'. Never state a number that the donor should give UNLESS the letter is being tailored or rather personalized and individualized. If you send the letter to say, for example, 200 individual donors who have given under $100 at least once over the last year - just ask for a contribution from them but state what it's for (more to come on this in a second). If you send a batch next, of these individualized letters, to your larger increment donors, ask them to give $100 or more. Never ever ever restrict how much a donor may give by telling them how much to give. Instead, ask (as is reasonable based on their recent giving history) for a realistic amount at a certain amount of money OR MORE. This author missed a serious opportunity and may, frankly, have lost money before this e-mail was even sent out!
The author asks, above, for at least 200 donations at $100 each within the next 50 days. The final highlighted purple line says they'd like to raise $20,000 in 50 days. First of all, we'd all like to raise $20,000 in the next 50 days, right?! What nonprofit wouldn't like to raise $20,000 in the next 50 days? So, why should we give so much to this nonprofit so quickly? Second, why $20,000? If there is a specific need, such as a new program or an endowment being started, or something that pertains the organization's current goals - let the donors know that and generally break down where the money will go (aside from a grant proposal or major donor request you need not include a program or project budget). If the money is for budgeted overhead or administration then that's fine to state, too, but (because it's not mission specific expense) I'd include an explanation why overhead is being raised suddenly now (for example, "our recently departed executive director, over the past twelve months of his or her employment, raised literally nothing and in this tough economy the Starfish Preservation League finds itself needing to catch up for this year, in effect" (and do not disparage or say anything slanderous against him or her but rather just state the pertinent facts)). By the way, because it's not program related costs (if it isn't) I'd also note (so the donor knows) how much of each dollar your organization raises goes to overhead (or in other words, how much of each dollar raised goes to mission-related programs and services in contrast to overhead expense). The professionally accepted best practices amount of each dollar a nonprofit raises in the United States going to actual mission related effort (programs or services) is at least 80% of each dollar or more (obviously, the more the better - but 100% is only usable by 100% volunteer run and operated nonprofits). Notice that the author of this letter gets it across that a lot of money is needed but he or she never states why or where the money will go explicitly. Donors are investor/partners in the nonprofit's efforts and achievements so donors need to be 'read in' to what is needed and why. Why, then, would the author leave pertinent expense or need information out? Finally, why in the next 50 days? That doesn't sound good for the organization or the message the donors are being sent. It sounds somewhat short sighted if not dire. Raising $20,000 often takes more than 50 days unless it's being raised through an annual event, for example, that has existed for more than five years, been well attended, and is a hallmark in the community that people enjoy participating in! The organization may need $20,000 in fifty days but it should be raising funds such that it will. Giving donors a time limit all of a sudden is not professional fundraising. It's laying the sudden need at long time supporters' feet when the responsibility is the nonprofit's and the organization should have been raising funds better from likely months if not a year or two ago. If the need is dire - the organization's leadership should be responsible individually for the need being met in 50 days and leave it out of the letter while meeting with major donors and investigating emergency grant opportunities after sending out this (better written) solicitation letter. Better yet, the organization should have planned out its fundraising for the coming year a year ago, and the board should have ratified a fundraising plan for the coming year back then especially one that included a built in emergency fundraising plan (especially in this economy).
This letter in the form I received it in is a rough draft, at best. This letter could have been fine tuned just a bit before being sent out and become a more effective, communicative, clear, inclusive, and successful letter.
The nonprofit that sent it is not just trying to raise $20,000 in 50 days or let everyone know an interim executive director has been hired and the next E.D. is being sought out. This organization wishes to instill confidence among its supporters during the transition and beyond so it can raise money again later on. It also hopes to raise more volunteers and donors again and again. For these reasons, not just the immediate goals, this letter could have been improved - for the nonprofit, the goal of its mission statement, and especially for the organization's beneficiaries. There is now and there is also again later, hopefully. One must set their organization up to be successful both now and again later.

Integrity and lifetime of reactor pressure vessels are practically determined by their material resistance against fast/non-ductile failure and consequently by their radiation damage resulting in irradiation embrittlement and hardening. Mechanism of irradiation embrittlement of RPV materials depends on selected materials and operation conditions but their values depend in a large extent on reactor design, i.e. on neutron flux/fluence depending on RPV wall. Generally, new RPV design allows smaller neutron fluences but absolute value of irradiation embrittlement still depends on a choice of RPV material. Even though radiation damage (especially irradiation embrittlement) is important for RPV behavior, integrity and lifetime depends, in principle, on final value of applied fracture mechanics parameter — transition temperature. Thus, its initial value as well as its shift due to irradiation embrittlement is of interest but only the embrittlement can be affected during operation.
The paper discusses absolute and relative effect of both these parameters for integrity and lifetime assessment for different type of reactors — of old and new as well as the newest design. Then, role of surveillance specimen programs for the evaluation of radiation embrittlement of RPV materials is discussed, first of all from point of view of existing codes and standards. Additionally, some recommendations are given for decreasing the effect of irradiation embrittlement on final integrity and lifetime evaluation.

Why Our Planet Is Considered To Be Dying
Topics: Planet
If Antarctica were to completely melt it could raise sea levels by 200 feet. Antarctica contains ninety percent of earth's fresh water so if the ice sheets and glaciers were to melt it would be a huge potential contributor to sea levels rising rapidly. For decades human activities have been contributing to global warming and climate change by increasing the levels of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere causing many drastic changes on earth. For example Antarctica hit a new record of 64.9 degrees. This is a huge shock to most since this continent is known for being one of the driest and coldest places on planet earth. Research stations have been recording data and temperatures since 1961. progressively over the decades Antarctica has been growing warmer. The warming going on in the arctic is just one huge part of warming trends that have been happening all over the planet. Researchers say the arctic has been getting warmer due to greenhouse gas emissions which are being released by humans. Antarctica has always been one of the coldest places on earth, back in 2019 there were major signs of glaciers and ice sheets melting rapidly. Snow melting in Antarctica is rare and does not normally happen but according to NASA they have conducted a new study by using technology that can monitor rapid changes happening to glaciers and the ross ice shelf. And research shows the ice in Antarctica is starting to melt inland over the coast. They have also stated that the cause of the ice melting at rapid rates is due to surface temperatures rising. The ross ice shelf is described as a freezer door keeping the old air in and the warm air out which protects the ice and glaciers but the smaller it gets the less effective it becomes. All of this is caused by global warming and climate change which is occurring more frequently due to human ways and error. A change in human behavior needs to happen now to save the planet from global warming. Everyday there are frequent changes in weather patterns, it is affecting the animals and changing their behavior and patterns. Last but not least the planet is overheating drastically.
Another drastic change in the planet's weather patterns are the raging bushfires in australia. Australia has already had numerous wildfires to begin with but recently they are becoming more frequent and even more dangerous. The fires are amplifying the heat in Australia making it hotter which is making way for even more wildfires to flame up making it dangerous to live, breathe and lead a normal life for people and animals. These fires are flaring up more rapidly due to global warming and climate change. Due to the fact of changes humans are continuously making to the planet. The Australia wildfires are causing catastrophic destruction and death for not only people but animals too. According to recent reports one billion animals have perished during the Australian wildfires. In Australia there are over 600,000 animals that cannot be found anywhere else in the world which is cause for concern because there is a chance they could become extinct. One of Australia's main concerns is the population of our fuzzy friends the koala bears, along with so many other animals they are perishing in the devastating wildfires at a rapid rate. Even though no one is completely sure how many have died exactly, they can only estimate about 30 percent have died since the island fires have started. For example these fuzzy animals are slow in movement and australia's trees are made out of eucalyptus oil which is flammable and these trees are also home to the koala so if and when a fire starts the fire consumes the tree before the koala even has the chance to escape killing lots of the koala population. Another concern for Australia is the thirsty animals, specifically the camels they are roaming and damaging people's homes. They are tracking and finding air conditioning units and taking the water out of them. This is becoming a problem for the residents because when searching for the AC units they destroy the houses in an attempt to find water. More that aren't as well known as koalas that live on kangaroo island are the glossy black cockatoo and the dunnart or even insects and plants that were part of the ecosystem are being greatly affected and t has been suffering the fate of Australia wildfires. Some of them were already going extinct before this such as the Cockatoo only 300-375 existed before the fires flared up. Another major concern are the mouse sized dunnart animals which is another name for genus Sminthopsis, narrow-footed marsupials they are very small but equally as important to Australia. Christopher Dickman, a University of Sydney ecology professor says although koalas and kangaroos are the symbols for wildlife out here in australia they are not a concern for extinction, the more pressing ecological concern for animals that can only be found in australia. Extinction is irrevocable loss of a species of animal. Christopher dickman also mentioned that half a billion animals are being affected due to the fires spreading. Australia's wildfires don't only affect wildlife they also affect livestock. Recent reports from the federal agriculture official say " 100,000 cattle will die before the fires end". The livestock are dying at alarming rates just like wildlife.
Ocean acidification is another major negative effect of climate change and global warming. The ocean acidification is rising and has been since the beginning of the industrial revolution according to NASA. Because of the carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere the oceans are absorbing the co2. Ocean acidification is "calcification rates in reef-building and reef-associated organisms by altering seawater chemistry through decreases in pH". It's a serious issue that is increasing rapidly. Research on ocean acidification shows that the high acidity levels are affecting "predator prey" interactions. According to a study done at california university one type of species that has been affected by the increasingly high acidity levels is the sea snail they aren't escaping their predators fast enough. Research shows that in different PH levels the sea snails react differently to when a sea star is close by. It also shows how it affects predator and prey interactions due to acidity levels. For example the higher the acidity levels are the more impaired the snail was from the escape route but the however if PH levels were normal the snail was able to react normally. A normal reaction for a sea snail is when it senses a sea star under normal conditions and regular PH levels it will flee. but under different circumstances and irregular PH levels the snail fails to leave the tide pool. These odd behaviors are expected to become more frequent due to higher acidity levels located in small tide pools. Even though more research is needed to completely understand why the snails react differently to the high acidity levels it is shown that the ph levels are increasing due to human behaviors and the releasing of carbon gasses and emissions.
Coral bleaching is another problem taking over the oceans. Coral bleaching is what happens when ocean temperatures get to warm the coral will begin to expel zooxanthellae which are located within the corals tissues causing them to turn white. Mass coral bleaching is a wide spread disease in the oceans and is becoming more common and is affecting the oceans coral reefs ecosystem. It's killing them and the ocean more rapidly than ever before. All of this is due to human activity and the rapid release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Because of human behavior such as the releasing of carbon and gas emissions and deforestation and oil drilling many negative changes to earth's ecosystem and atmosphere such as a change in weather patterns heating of the earth, and drastic changes in animal behavior and much more the earth is in a deep hole that will be hard to dig out of unless people start making changes now.
According to NASA's recent reports on sea levels rising are caused primarily by two factors that include melting ice sheets and glaciers and sea water warming.
The amazon stores twenty percent of the world's oxygen, A myriad of animals call the amazon home. It is also the world's largest tropical rainforest. All of these are amazing facts about the Amazon, but what happens when humans start the deforestation process? It starts to affect life in the Amazon. It affects agriculture and it affects the fresh water supply. Before deforestation the amazon used to store carbon emission but now according to Eaton, humans are causing deforestation and killing the trees because people are releasing carbon emissions are now back into the atmosphere which is a prominent factor in global warming. The amazon rainforest used to capture the extra co2 and grow new leaves and logs and branches but it has now become too much for the forest to handle and has now done a reverse and started releasing more co2 into the atmosphere, which is changing the way of the forest. With the release of so much gas the amazon is becoming hotter and drier which has another effect of starting fires. This does not include the fact that if deforestation continues it is predicted half the amazon could die off. Because the amazon is becoming drier, fires are starting. And now the forest is also suffering. Not only are natural fires rare in the amazon but they are becoming more frequent due to humans starting fires. With the amazon being more dry fires are burning tons of land in the amazon. According to Steven Mufson from the Washington post the amazon is on the verge of becoming a completely drier and different ecosystem which is not good nor beneficial for the millions of plants, animals and species that depend on the amazon rainforest.
Although some researchers from natural climate cycles say that the earth's warming is a part of it's natural cycles. They believe that the earth is just going through a warming period. Around 2000 years ago the earth was going through an ice age and a hundred million years ago the planet was so warm that creatures similar to alligators roamed about near the north pole. According to Natural Climate Cycles this article suggests the sun goes through periods of change that are not big enough to cause temperature changes here on earth. But the sun goes through these changes every couple tens of thousands of years. Even though no one is completely sure of what causes these changes in cycles they are believed to be derived from the changes in the sun. Although evidence is not substantial this is what some researchers believe has to do with the drastic changes in weather pattern and warming cycles. Another reason to believe co2 is being emitted into the atmosphere naturally is according to Burton volcanoes produced a large amount of co2 when an eruption occurs. But this is still only a fraction of how much humans have produced over the years.
Human activities such as deforestation, coal and fossil fuels burning and changes to landscape such as cement release tons of carbon emission into the atmosphere which has been proven to be a concerning factor of the global warming and climate change crisis. Burning gasoline is another way humans have contributed to releasing co2 into the atmosphere. Not only does it contribute to air pollution but it destroys the atmosphere. The U.S energy information administration has stated the united state's uses about "392 million gallons motor oil per day in 2018". Most of this gas is used for transportation. This article also points out that by burning gasoline that does not contain ethanol produces almost 20 pounds of carbon dioxide. If this pattern of bad human behavior does not change it can keep majorly affecting the planet. and if something is not done about deforestation and the frequent and rapid emissions of carbon release then the earth will continue to suffer and grow to hotter and unsustainable temperatures, the weather will keep having dramatic and unpredictable changes if the people on this planet do not reduce the amount of carbon emissions going into the atmosphere.

Rosé, Alma (1906–1944)
Austrian-Jewish violinist and conductor of the women's orchestra at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, portrayed in the book and film Playing for Time, whose efforts saved countless musicians condemned to the camps. Name variations: Alma Rose. Born Alma Maria Rosé in 1906 in Vienna, Austria; died in Auschwitz on April 4, 1944, only a few months before the liberation of the camp in January 1945; daughter of Arnold Rosé (a concertmaster of both the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the Court Opera Orchestra [State Opera Orchestra after 1918]) and Justine Mahler (sister of Gustav Mahler); sister of Alfred Rosé (1902–1975, a noted conductor who escaped to the U.S. and Canada).
Following in her father's footsteps, studied the violin and was a virtuoso performer by her teens; with her father, recorded Concerto for Two Violins and Orchestra of Johann Sebastian Bach (1931); struck out on her own and established a solid career in Austriaand other European nations (mid-1930s); the Nazi annexation of Austria (March 1938) ended her father's career in Vienna, but he continued to perform in Great Britain; did not follow her father into exile but remained in Europe; arrested in the Netherlands and sent to Westerbork (1942); transported to Auschwitz, where she became conductor of that concentration camp's women's orchestra (1943).
Born in Vienna in 1906 when that imperial metropolis was the political and cultural heart of Central Europe, Alma Rosé could boast of extraordinary musical genealogy. Her mother Justine Mahler was highly musical, which was not surprising given the fact that she was the sister of Gustav Mahler (1860–1911), conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic and Court (later State) Opera orchestras and composer of some of the greatest works of late German Romanticism. Her father Arnold Rosé was one of the most highly respected musicians in the German-speaking world. Though her parents had wanted a boy, they did everything possible to see to it that Alma became a musician. At birth, a tiny violin was already in her room. The family determined
she would become a child prodigy like her father.
Arnold Rosé, born Arnold Josef Rosenblum in Jassy in the Bukovina province of the Austrian empire (today Iasi, Romania), had triumphed over anti-Semitic prejudices through the sheer force of his musical genius. He made an acclaimed debut in 1879 at the famous Gewandhaus concerts in Leipzig and by 1881 had become concertmaster of both the Vienna Philharmonic and Court Opera orchestras—posts he would hold with distinction for 57 years. Arnold Rosé was also a brilliant chamber music performer, founding his own lauded string quartet in 1882. In such a rich musical milieu, young Alma's natural talent quickly flourished, and by her early 20s she began a successful career as a violin virtuoso. A permanent testimonial to her talent is her recording with her father of the Concerto for Two Violins and Orchestra of Johann Sebastian Bach. Transcribed in 1931, this moving rendition appeared in CD format in the early 1990s.
Despite the anti-Semitism which pervaded Viennese public life, the Rosés established satisfying careers for themselves. In the 1930s, it appeared the family name would continue to be prominent in musical circles. Alfred Rosé, Alma's brother, was becoming known as a fine conductor, while her own musical skill and artistic taste captivated audiences both inside and beyond the borders of Austria. The Nazi seizure of power in Germany in 1933 ended these possibilities, however. Restrictions increased as anti-Semitic legislation grew, shattering hopes and dreams.
Most of Alma Rosé's energy went into her work, and like many artists she ignored the swirling turmoil of the 1930s. The family was unprepared when her father was summarily terminated as concertmaster of the Vienna Philharmonic and State Opera orchestras after the Anschluss, the Nazi occupation of Austria in March 1938. Arnold fled to London as a penniless refugee, where, at age 75, he reconstituted his famous string quartet which delighted British music-lovers for another half-decade.
Alma decided to remain in Europe. Whether because of stubbornness or political naivete, she refused to cross the English Channel. In the late 1930s, she went to France, which had a large community of German-speaking refugees in Paris. When the Nazis invaded and occupied France in May 1940, she went to the Netherlands. German conquest and occupation of that neutral country quickly led to restrictions against both native-born Dutch Jews and Jewish refugees like herself. It was difficult for Rosé to understand why she was persecuted. She was little interested in Judaism either as a faith or as a cultural tradition. She lived for music, her one consuming passion.
Life in the Netherlands rapidly deteriorated, and in 1942 the Nazi Final Solution was implemented. Although many Dutch men and women took great risks to save Jews (Yad Vashem in Jerusalem has given more awards for rescue achievements to the Dutch than to the people of any other nation), the country was small, flat, and treeless, with no place to hide. There was also a significant group (80,000) of Dutch Nazis who often assisted German occupation officials in tracking down "the divers"—Jews who had gone into hiding. Of the more than 150,000 Dutch and foreign-born Jews in the country in 1940, only about 20,000 survived the war. Unable to hide, Rosé was arrested in 1942 and sent to Westerbork before being moved to Auschwitz.
The small Polish district town of Oswiecim, 50 kilometers southwest of Cracow, was located in the Austrian half of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy until 1918, when it became part of independent Poland. Oswiecim was incorporated into Nazi Germany in October 1939 after the defeat and occupation of Poland and given the name Auschwitz. Located near the Sola River, a tributary of the Vistula, Auschwitz was essentially unpleasant and unhealthy, a humid and foggy valley with swampy soil. Evacuation of the local population created an area of 40 square kilometers in which a vast complex of facilities was built to house, exploit, and murder large numbers of Jews, Poles, Soviet prisoners of war, and other groups deemed undesirable by the Nazi regime. According to the SS bureaucracy, these individuals had committed offenses which were "relatively light and definitely correctable." The main camp, known as Auschwitz I, rapidly expanded and accommodated 18,000 prisoners by the end of 1941, which grew to 30,000 by 1943. Construction of Auschwitz II, known as the Birkenau camp, began in October 1941.
Women were first sent to Auschwitz I in late March 1942. At first, the women's camp was relatively small, consisting of 999 German women brought from the Ravensbrück concentration camp and an equal number of Jewish women prisoners from Slovakia. By the summer of 1942, the population of the women's section had swollen to 6,000, and it was decided to transfer the women's section to Birkenau, which by January 1944 held 27,053 female prisoners. These women lived under horrifying conditions and some among their number were constantly being selected for the gas chambers. The first Auschwitz prisoners were Poles who had been engaged in resistance, but by 1942 more and more Jews were brought to the camps.
Upon arriving, Rosé was examined by an SS physician in charge of determining who would be put to work and who sent immediately to the gas chamber. Educated, articulate, and in good health, Rosé was allowed to live. The next years of her brief life would be dominated by music even in the face of death. Her efforts not only would allow Rosé to live but would save the lives of countless other women as well. Music often served a utilitarian purpose. Marches were played when prisoners went to work in the morning and when they returned to their barracks. At the Janowska camp, a "Death Tango" was performed during the Selektionen that decided whether newly arrived prisoners would live or die.
Orchestras, bands, choirs and other large musical ensembles were a hallmark of Nazi concentration camps. As early as 1933, a choir of 120 performed at the Lichtenburg camp. In Buchenwald in the late 1930s, the SS commanded that a motley orchestra of guitars, harmonicas, and various brass instruments perform regularly. The influx of many talented Viennese Jewish musicians in 1938 resulted in an expansion of musical activity in several camps. In Buchenwald, cabaret performances, including music and songs, briefly showcased the talents of stars like Hermann Leopoldi before the SS banned such displays of impudence. When war vastly expanded the SS concentration-camp empire, many more orchestras were created. Prisoners often brought instruments with them. These were kept when their owners were gassed so that a broad selection was always available to incoming inmates. At the main Auschwitz camp, a brass band of 120 players, a symphony orchestra of 80, a dance band of 20, and a jazz ensemble of 5 performers entertained. Even camps exclusively created as extermination facilities—Belzec, Maidanek, Sobibor and Treblinka—had orchestras.
The camp commander, Maria Mandel , immediately recognized Alma Rosé's talents and appreciated her musical heritage. A "great music lover" who spared no effort to improve the cultural life of her camp, particularly its musical environment, Mandel came from a very different world than did her prisoner. Born in the village of Münzkirchen, Upper Austria, in 1912, Mandel was typical of the poor, rural people who often joined the Nazi party. Alma Rosé's affluent family—sophisticated and internationally respected—lived in a world unknown to the commandant from the backward Austrian provinces. Meeting someone of Rosé's caliber likely never would have happened to Mandel had she not been put in charge of a death camp. She appreciated the celebrity status which beckoned in the twisted environment of the concentration camp universe.
Rosé leaped at the opportunity to become part of the concentration-camp orchestra. Music had long been her only escape, even in the outside world. Furthermore, being a member of an orchestra gave a woman prisoner distinct advantages over other prisoners. Mandel's musicians enjoyed a protected status. Their block was kept in better repair than those of the clerical staff or prisoners assigned to the cooking unit, and they were able to rehearse in a building that was kept comfortably warm in wintertime. Although their rations were still inadequate, they received more than ordinary prisoners, and they were relatively well dressed in blue cloth dresses and caps. The orchestra was usually busy, playing at roll call and performing martial tunes for the exhausted women who came marching back to their barracks after a day of forced labor. All official occasions included music. Rosé's elevation to conductor of the orchestra placed her in a grotesque position. She operated in a camp founded to humiliate, dehumanize, exploit, and exterminate its inmates under administrators determined to foster a warped version of "culture" within its walls.
Alma Rosé, a tall, dignified woman with dark hair, had a striking presence. As conductor, she assumed the role of a Kapo, which gave her great power over the work and even the lives of her ensemble members. In all Nazi concentration camps, the Kapo saw to it that the rules of the camp were meticulously followed. The traditional authoritarian role of orchestra conductor was thus greatly reinforced by the camp culture. Rosé took full advantage of her position, pushing her musicians to the outer limits of skill and endurance. She was motivated by fear and determination, as she knew the orchestra could survive only if its performances pleased its captors. The role of the authoritarian musician came quite naturally to Rosé. Like many German-speaking Jews, she was totally assimilated into German culture and typically assumed that her cultural heritage was superior to that of the Poles, French, and other non-German members of her orchestra. Above all, she was determined to use her knowledge of German culture to survive in an extremely hostile environment.
Many problems faced Rosé. Hers was anything but a conventional orchestra. Composed of ten violins, a flute, reed pipes, two accordions, five mandolins, three guitars, and a percussion section of cymbals and drums, it was an odd mixture of instruments. Recognizing that sound was of utmost importance, Rosé pressed Fania Fénelon , a Jewish musician from Paris who had never before done such work, to orchestrate music. Despite her family heritage, Rosé was not a conductor. She was a virtuoso violinist who read the score as any player would. Her conducting skill was often rudimentary and left much to be desired. Recognizing her weaknesses, she compensated with hours of practice, driving orchestra members to play 12-to-17 hours a day. This regime took its toll on orchestra members, but gradually the ensemble improved. Often, there was "nightwork," a ghastly time when the orchestra entertained SS men. Each day Rosé's musicians entertained kept them alive—quite literally they were "playing for time."
Alma Rosé was the link between demanding captors and frightened, undernourished musicians. Often, these women could not decide who they hated most—the Nazis or their conductor. Rosé's power over them symbolized their powerlessness in the face of the Nazi system of racial hatred and extermination. Sometimes Rosé seemed inhuman, driving them to the limits of physical endurance. Despite their bitterness, the women often felt great unity while playing. Rosé was transformed, even transfigured, when playing her violin. Fénelon describes her as an "incomparably beautiful" young woman who "gave off an extraordinary sensuality." While playing, "her relaxed mouth softened, halfpened; her eyes misted over; her body trembled. Alma was in the throes of love. We were silent, we listened and forgot. When she stopped and put down her bow, the desire to applaud was irresistible. But it was very, very short, the length of a piece of music. Then, instantly, Alma became inhuman once again."
Rosé was isolated. She told Fenelon that her family had always "thought like Germans…. I hardly knew we were Jewish." Rosé never seemed to comprehend the enormity of what had happened her. For example, being tattooed "worried" her somewhat because she refused to accept its purpose. Her survival tool was her music which provided temporary release and escape from the threat of the gas chambers. In this, she proved correct. Despite their fear and suffering, Rosé and her orchestra experienced some transcendingly glorious moments. When she conducted Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, a work whose opening bars were the symbol of Allied victory, the women were transported. Ignoring the unconventional nature of their ensemble, they played "in a state of grace because [on that occasion] the symphony soared, compelling and marvelous."
Each day brought new perils, however. Once when Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler visited the camp, he did not compliment Rosé on her work. This incident caused great fear for the conductor and her orchestra. In their world, criticism could mean death. Rosé cultivated Himmler, hoping to play for German troops.
By the spring of 1944, the war was not going well for the Nazis, and tension increased. More and more trainloads of Jews arrived. Fewer and fewer survived while the crematoriums worked overtime. Though Rosé worked harder than ever to survive, eventually Auschwitz claimed her as yet another victim. She became suddenly ill and died on April 4, 1944. Meningitis and spotted typhus were epidemic in the camp. Poison was also suspected, after an autopsy, and SS doctors declared that to be the cause of her death. One Frau Schmidt, a German camp supervisor, was strongly suspected as the culprit. This may well have been what happened. Operating in the highly charged camp environment, Rosé may have made enemies who felt she had escaped death for far too long.
Rosé's funeral reflected the bizarre nature of Auschwitz. The SS erected a catafalque for her body next to the camp medical room. Covered with a profusion of white flowers, mainly lilies, her face was calm, relaxed and beautiful. Her long hands, crossed on her breast, held a flower. Surrounded by her sobbing musicians, she lay in state while members of the SS filed past the foot of her bed, respectfully removing their hats. Maria Mandel was inconsolable. In a small room of one of Adolf Hitler's worst death camps, Nazi captors and Jewish prisoners mourned the passing of a remarkable woman.
As German armies continued to crumble, more and more prisoners were exterminated, but Alma Rosé's orchestra survived. After Auschwitz was liberated in January 1945, these women began their lives anew. For several decades, this strange chapter in history was all but forgotten, and like so many who died in the Holocaust, Alma Rosé was barely remembered. But the image of this fiercely determined musician forcing her orchestra to "play for time" did not die. Orchestra members realized that her efforts had saved them from the ovens. Alma Rosé's conducting career can only be termed a nightmare, but she always believed that the power of music would triumph over the power of darkness.

Saturday's 7-1 loss to Minnesota United wasn't a pleasant experience for FC Cincinnati or its fans.
Startribune.com columnist Jim Souhan added insult to injury with sharp criticism of FC Cincinnati by suggesting that it "isn't a football club," also referring to the team as the "Big Dread Machine."
An excerpt from Souhan's column:
FC Cincinnati isn't a football club. It's a care package. It's a therapy session. The Loons put eight shots on goal. Seven went in. Many NBA players struggle to hit that percentage on free throws.
It's one thing to have the worst defense in your league. It's much more embarrassing to have the worst defense in professional sports. If the MLS had relegation, Cincinnati would next week be playing kickball in a park near you.
Alone on a practice field: That's the right way to prepare for Cincinnati's defense.
The loss dropped FC Cincinnati to 3-13-2 this season. The game story by The Enquirer's Patrick Brennan included the following reaction from interim head coach Yoann Damet:
"It's difficult. You cannot lie to the guys," interim head coach Yoann Damet said. "We just conceded seven goals. Again, we have to look back, take responsibility for it, (the) staff and the players... There is always some positive. It's difficult to speak about the positive when you just lost 7-1. The result is a big part of football, so you cannot forget that."

Jaskinia w Kosówkach – jaskinia w Dolinie Kościeliskiej w Tatrach Zachodnich. Ma dwa otwory wejściowe znajdujące się w Kominiarskim Wierchu, w pobliżu grani prowadzącej w kierunku Raptawickiej Turni, nad Doliną Smytnią, w pobliżu Jaskini Skośnej i Jaskini pod Głazem, na wysokości 1760 metrów n.p.m. Długość jaskini wynosi 20 metrów, a jej deniwelacja 6,50 metra.

Opis jaskini
Jaskinia powstała na szczelinach tektonicznych. Stanowi ją wąska studzienka, której górną częścią jest otwór ukryty w kosodrzewinie (stąd nazwa jaskini) i korytarzyk zaczynający się na jej dnie, którym dochodzi się do niewielkiej salki "Jupiterowej" mającej połączenie z powierzchnią drugim, ciasnym otworem. W salce zaczyna się wąski korytarzyk, który dalej rozszerza się i kończy zawaliskiem. Jaskinia pozbawiona jest szaty naciekowej.

Przyroda
W jaskini brak jest roślinności.

Historia odkryć
Jaskinię odkryli w 1965 roku członkowie Sekcji Grotołazów AKT Poznań przy radzie Okręgowej ZSP w Poznaniu,.

Tone and enhance your lower abdominals with this simple, but effective workout. Not only can these exercises help to flatten your stomach, but they can also help to firm the muscles that contribute to overall health, posture and balance.
You can practice these weight-free movements anywhere — at home, the gym and even outdoors after a run.
Grab an exercise mat, and you're ready to get started.
Lie on your back with palms facing down. Bend your knees to a 90-degree angle. Raise your hips off the floor and crunch them toward your chest. Slowly lower your legs until your heels nearly touch the floor.
Tip: Keep your range of motion small to focus the work on your low core. Avoid swinging your hips.
Lie on your back. Lift your legs straight to the ceiling and flex your feet. Raise your arms, then engage your abs to lift both shoulders and your pelvis off the ground. Reach your fingers toward your toes. Slowly lower back to the starting position.
Tip: It's ok if you can't quite reach your toes. It's more important to keep the movements small and controlled.
Lie on your back. Extend your arms so they're against the sides of your body. Press your palms into the floor and lift both legs straight up toward the ceiling. Keeping the core pulled down and in, slowly lower your right leg down until it hovers a few inches about the ground. Slowly switch and repeat.
Lie on your back. Press down through your arms and pull in your belly button. Raise your legs off the ground a few inches and alternate up-and-down kicks.
Tip: Place your hands under your hips in a diamond shape for more support. If it feels OK on your neck, you can look up at your feet.
Lie on your back. Press down through your arms and pull in your belly button. Raise your legs off the ground a few inches and cross one ankle over the other, alternating sides.
Lie on your back and extend your arms above your head. Lift your legs and upper body into "V" position and slowly lower your body back to the starting position.
Tip: To modify, lower your legs and arms halfway, rather than all the way to the floor.
Lie on your back then lift your feet and bend your knees to a 90-degree angle. Squeeze your knees together. Keep your spine long and straighten your legs as much as you can without rounding your back.
Tip: If this is too challenging, modify by keeping your knees bent — you'll still be working your core.
From plank position, lift your right foot off the floor, and pull your knee as close to your chest as you can. Return to the starting position, and repeat with your left leg.
Tip: Do your best to keep your core engaged. This will keep you from dipping into your low back.
From plank position, lift your right foot off the floor and pull your knee to the opposite triceps, alternating to each side.
Lie on your back with feet flat. Pull your low belly down and in, then lift your heels no more than two inches off the floor. Hold.
Tip: Keep your feet as close to the floor as you can — you'll feel the low belly engage. Lift your feet too high, and the workout becomes ineffective.

Q: React js do common header I am new to ReactJS. I need to have a common header and change title according to the route changes. Do I need to create a header.jsx file and import it? Or else, how can I render the header (common file) with route?
My routing part looks like this:
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import App from './App.jsx';
import Home from './Home.jsx';
import { Router, Route, Link, browserHistory, IndexRoute  } from 'react-router';

ReactDOM.render((
    <Router history = {browserHistory}>
        <Route path = "/home" component = {Home} />
        <Route path = "/" component = {App}>
        </Route>
    </Router>
));

A: This should work:
header.jsx:
class Header extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
Your header
);
  }
}

first-page.jsx:
class FirstPage extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
First page body
);
  }
}

second-page.jsx
class SecondPage extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
Second page body
);
  }
}

app.jsx:
import Header from './header.jsx';

class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (

        {this.props.children}

    );
  }
}

web-app.jsx:
import App from './app.jsx';
import FirstPage from './first-page.jsx';
import SecondPage from './second-page.jsx';

ReactDOM.render(
  <Router history = {browserHistory}>
    <Route path = "/" component = {App}>
      <Route path = "/first" component = {FirstPage}>
      <Route path = "/second" component = {SecondPage}>
    </Route>
  </Router>
);

A: try this https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-helmet
import React from "react";
import Helmet from "react-helmet";

export default function Application () {
return (

        <Helmet title="My Title" />
        ...

);};

A: So if you need to display a common header among your routes, there's a couple ways of doing it. One is you can define your header inside its own component. Something simple for example:
import React from 'react';
export default React.createClass({
  render() {
    return

{this.props.title}

;
  }
}

Then in your home component, app component, etc. Simply put  inside your render(), after importing it at the top of each file.
The other option is to create your own sort of container component, still using the Header component we defined above:
import React from 'react';
export default React.createClass({
  render() {
    return (

        {this.props.children}

    );
  }
}

Then where you declare your routes:
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import App from './App.jsx';
import Home from './Home.jsx';
import Container from './Container.jsx';
import { Router, Route, Link, browserHistory, IndexRoute  } from 'react-router';

ReactDOM.render((
    <Router history = {browserHistory}>
        <Route path = "/home" component = {<Container title='home'><Home /></Container>} />
        <Route path = "/" component = {<Container title='app'><App /></Container>}>
        </Route>
    </Router>
));

Admittedly i have not tried that second option. You might have to pass the router as a parameter from the container component down to its use of children component, if you want to do things like router.transitionTo('/path').
It's just an option if you don't want to repeat  everywhere.

Thoughts on just purchasing the user guide and not getting the DVDs and doing the entire STS program?
I know someone posted something similar - but wondering about not buying the DVDs at all, just the user guide.
Not to burst your bubble.....but isn't that like having a car manual but not buying the car?
Cathe provides so many helpful tips, advise and direction on every exercise - nothing in the market compares to STS.
It's worth investing in the DVDs rather than the user guide. You'll be burning calories faster than you can consume the eye candy!
GREAT point...no bubble bursted Thank you!!

It Takes Two Review: It's Never Boring with you Around
It Takes Two is an ambitious game that understands very clearly what it wants to be, and sticks to it's vision unabashedly. A co-op game, It Takes Two chronicles the relationship of a couple, May and Cody, on the brink of ending their marriage. Hoping to bring her parents together, the couple's daughter turns to a magic book, who transforms her parents into miniature dolls, and tells them the only way the two can get back to their original bodies is through working together to repair their marriage.
This game can only be played with two players, and the design of every level and puzzle is built around constant cooperation. You will need to frequently interact with your partner, and some puzzles require a great deal of vocal communication to stay in synch during several timing based puzzles. In a strange choice, the game remains in splitscreen during online play. For this reason, I think this game is best experienced through couch co-op. When it works, puzzles that demand such a high level of synchronization push this game to a new level. However, there are a couple of sections that require too much timing and precision from both players, which lead to a great deal of frustration. There's only a few, but some puzzles just don't meet the same level of quality as the majority of the game.
Right away I was impressed with how tight It Takes Two controlled. It is a sneakily good platformer, and despite the bombardment of new game mechanics, I never felt introduced to any twists that were too difficult to pick up quickly or felt clunky. And while not essential, there are dozens of entertaining competitive minigames ranging from whack-a-mole, ice skate racing, to even chess.
But the most impressive aspect of this game is the frequency in which it introduces new gameplay mechanics. The game dramatically shifts gears roughly every half hour, giving players these new gameplay hooks constantly. You will go from playing shooting down wasps with honey in a third person shooter, to playing a traditional dungeon crawler in a toy castle inside a child's room. Not all of these hit, and some do drag a bit. The game does have some pacing problems; I think in an effort to make the gameplay so diverse certain sections suffer. While I loved riding on the backs of spiders or shooting down enemies as a humanoid catus, I was counting down the minutes until I could escape the clocktower, which revolved around a frustrating time control mechanic.
Unfortunately, the story is the weakest part of this game. The Book character has a grating latin accent that borders on stereotypical, which became a constant annoyance to my partner and I whenever he appeared on screen. May and Cody often are just detestable, with a frankly bizarre tonal shift half way through the game that just made me stop caring about these characters. The ending I am hesitant to say was satisfying. The finale doesn't feel like an honest portrayal of divorce, though I'm sure some will disagree. For such a nuanced topic, I was hoping for something more refined than a straightforward resolution. If you can ignore these grievances, you will find a perfectly fun platformer in It Takes Two, but it's worth mentioning.
It Takes Two could have handled it's narrative better, but there is an unmistakable quality within it's cooperative vision presented through the ever-changing game mechanics and puzzles. If you have a partner interested in puzzle games, you'd be doing yourselves a disservice in missing out on It Takes Two. While not every puzzle or mechanic knocks it out of the park, the highs of this game are some of the best moments I've had with games this year.
