Unit Name: Bearpaw Formation
Unit Type: Lithostratigraphic
Rank: Formation
Status: Formal
Usage: Currently in use
Age Interval: Campanian - Maastrichtian (83.5 - 65.5 ma)
Age Justification: Fossils are critical to understanding the stratigraphy of the Bearpaw Formation, and Bearpaw molluscs (baculitid, scaphitid, and placenticeratid ammonites, bivalves, gastropods, and scaphopods) are among the best known fossils of the southern interior plains. The formation also carries rare bryozoans, articulate and inarticulate brachiopods, annelids, rudistid and sepiod molluscs, and ophioderms. The base of the formation lies as low as the ammonite zone of Baculites gregoryensis in mid-Saskatchewan, and climbs to lie in the zone of B. compressus across the plains of southern Alberta. The top of the formation lies mostly in the zones of B. baculus and B. grandis. A sequence of foraminiferal faunas has been described from the formation. Most of the component species are arenaceous-walled, but a well diversified and rich arenaceous- and calcareous-walled assemblage characterizes the middle shaly beds. In terms of the foraminiferal zonal scheme for the southern interior plains the base of the fully developed formation lies in the zone of Eoponidella linki and the top high in the zone of Haplophragmoides excavata. Ostracodes occur rarely. The disarticulated remains of fishes, mososaurs, plesiosaurs, a hadrosaur reptile, avians and other vertebrates have been reported from the formation, as have logs and branches of coniferous trees, diatoms, dinoflagellates, pollen grains and spores.
Province/Territory: Alberta; Saskatchewan; Montana
Originator: Hatcher and Stanton, 1903; Stanton and Hatcher, 1905.
Type Locality:
The Bearpaw Mountains of north-central Montana (48 deg 15'N, 109 deg 30'W) where the "Bearpaw shales ... are well developed around the northern, eastern and southern borders" (Hatcher and Stanton, 1903, p. 212).
Widely distributed through southern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan, where it forms much of the bedrock surface, the Bearpaw Formation can be traced from Montana as far northwards as Edmonton, with an outlier believed to exist in the Buffalo Head Hills of northern Alberta, and from the Rocky Mountain foothills as far eastwards as Regina. Thicknesses are variable, but because of its wedge-like form generally decrease northwards and westwards. Originally estimated to be about 183 m (600 ft) at the type locality and 230 m (750 ft) in the southern interior plains of Canada, the latter figure would be conservative even as an average. About 350 m (1148 ft) would be a more appropriate figure for the thickness in the Qu'Appelle and South Saskatchewan River valleys of south Saskatchewan, 300 m (984 ft) in the Alberta-Saskatchewan borderland, 150 m (492 ft) in the western part of the outcrop belt between Bassano and Castor in southern Alberta, and 30 m (98 ft) in the subsurface between Calgary and Drumheller in southern Alberta. The formation retains a notable thickness of about 290 m (951 ft) in the Crowsnest River valley of the southernmost Rocky Mountain foothills.
Dark grey clays, claystones, silty claystones, shales, silts and siltstones, with subordinate brownish grey silty sands, sands and sandstones; numerous concretionary beds, and thin beds of bentonite are the principal rock of sediment types of the Bearpaw Formations The argillaceous rocks have been variously described; originally called "clay shales", this term has been perpetuated by some subsequent workers, but most have referred to them as shales. They do, in fact range from blocky clays and claystones to true shales. Generally they have limited fissility, poor induration and a substantial, if variable, content of silt and sand. They contain numerous bedded concretions, some calcareous, others noncalcareous and sectarian and others again composed of mixed rusty iron oxides. The arenaceous rocks, composed mainly of weakly cemented, fine to medium sized grains of quartz, feldspars, chert, glauconite, various nonopaque heavy mineral and iron oxides, form widely traceable units in many parts of the plains. In some parts they occur only near the base and top of the formation; in others they alternate with argillaceous units throughout. Commonly clayey and silty near the base, the arenaceous units are usually thick-bedded to massive, display an increase in grain size and "purity" in upward sequence, and may be capped by a prominent bed of hard, resistant sandstone. They carry various kinds of bedded concretions, some large, calcareous and fossiliferous, others small, composed of mixed iron oxides and unfossiliferous. Thin beds and partings of bentonite (altered volcanic ash) occur throughout the formation but are concentrated in the middle shaly beds. Marine foraminifers and molluscs also are recurrent throughout, and banks and carpets of rock-forming inoceramid, mytilaceid, ostreid and pteriaceid bivalves are present locally. The argillaceous units suggest the prevalence of open sea conditions of the deposition; the arenaceous units point to episodes of shallowing, perhaps accompanied by regression; the highest beds of some sandy units providing evidence of deposition in brackish waters of the intertidal zone.
in apparently conformable relationship the Bearpaw Formation succeeds the Belly River Formation in the southern Rocky Mountain Foothills, and the Judith River Formation eastwards across the plains. It is apparently conformably succeeded by the Blood Reserve and the overlying St. Mary River Formation in southwestern Alberta, by the Horseshoe Canyon Formation (in places with a thick series of transitional beds) in the main outcrop of the southern Alberta Plains between the Bow River and Battle River valleys, and by the sequence of thin units known, in ascending order as the Eastend, Whitemud and Battle formations in the Cypress Hills of the Alberta-Saskatchewan borderland, in the South Saskatchewan River valley and other parts of southwestern Saskatchewan. From mid-Saskatchewan the Bearpaw Formation thins westwards by facies change between its lowest and highest beds of marine silty clays and sands and continental to marginal-lmarine sandy beds of the underlying the overlying formations. Eastwards it loses it identity where the underlying Judith River is replaced by the Pierre Shale. There it loses its sandy members by facies change into silty clays and becomes the upper part of the Pierre Shale (formerly Riding Mountain Formation) in the eastern plains of Saskatchewan and the Manitoba escarpment. Northwards from southwestern Saskatchewan the Bearpaw Formation is thinned by pre-Pleistocene erosion and disappears completely south of the North Saskatchewan River valley. Only to the northwest can it be traced as a diminishing wedge as far as Edmonton, where it ultimately passes completely by facies change into the Judith River Formation below and the Edmonton Group above. Further northwest the Judith River Formation and Edmonton Group comprise the Wapiti Formation which, in the Foothills is equivalent of the Brazeau Formation. From its type area in the Bearpaw Mountains the Bearpaw Formation can be traced across northern Montana, where it displays similar stratigraphic relationships to those in Alberta and Saskatchewan. West of Great Falls the formation wedges to the point of disappearance by facies change with the underlying Judith River Formation and overlying Horsethief Sand, St. Mary River and Hell Creek formations. Beyond the point of disappearance the nonmarine formations coalesce to form the Two Medicine Formation, which includes thick volcanic products. Eastwards from the type locality, to the border with North Dakota the Bearpaw Formation persists, underlain by the Judith River Formation (in marine sandy facies) and succeeded by the Fox Hills Sandstone and overlying Hell Creek Formation. The Judith River Formation disappears in the borderland with North Dakota, beyond which the Bearpaw Formation becomes the upper part of the Pierre Shale.

It will soon be hurricane season in Hawaii, but most kamaaina have forgotten that it has been about 25 years since the state's last brutal hurricane, and 10 years before that there was another one. What does this mean to island residents? It means that a hurricane is way overdue, meaning it may well happen this year.
•Have a great roof. Not just a good roof, but a great roof. He says this because if you have ever seen a home lose a roof, it is pretty much done. Not just the home, but also all of your family's memories and things we all take for granted every day — the non-replaceable items. Roofing is key because after every big hurricane, it can rain, sometimes for days, causing even more damage. If the roof is gone, all will be lost.
•Have great windows. Not just good windows, but great windows. This is because jalousie windows aren't going to protect your home. When the 150 mph hurricane winds come, everything will be flying around. Only great, impact-resistant windows can make the difference. Stop the flying missiles that are created by the storm with Tropical's impact resistant windows that will protect your home.
•Keep food and water, and stay inside. "Yes, these are the basics, but most people take their safety for granted," said Houar. "Take this seriously because after seeing two bad hurricanes, I have been ready ever since." He stores food and water, and has a generator, plus the greatest windows and roofing available.
•Most importantly, call the professionals at Tropical at 593-2000 to help provide your home with a great roof, aka "storm protector," and the best impact resistant— "storm buster" — windows.

Svipdagsmál (El canto de Svipdag) es un poema en nórdico antiguo que forma parte de la Edda poética. Está conformado por dos poemas, Los hechizos de Groa y Los dichos de Fjölsvinnr. Las dos obras están agrupadas ya que tienen un narrador en común, Svipdag. Además al parecer tienen un origen en común ya que son muy similares en cuanto al uso del lenguaje, la estructura, el estilo y la métrica ljóðaháttr.

Grógaldr

En el primer poema, la cruel madrastra del joven Svipdag le asigna la tarea de conseguir la mano de la giganta Menglöð. Este convoca por nigromancia la sombra de su madre, Gróa, una völva, para que le ayude a cumplir su tarea. Su madre invoca nueve hechizos para ayudarle.

Fjölsvinnsmál

En el segundo poema, Svipdag, tras haber sobrevivido al duro viaje, es confrontado con un gigante vigilante llamado Fjölsvinnr. Fjölsvinnr es uno de los nombres del principal dios del Asgard, Odín. Este le pregunta su nombre y le dice que se vaya; Svipdag sabiamente oculta su nombre. A esto le sigue un juego de preguntas y respuestas, donde Svipdag descubre que Menglöð vive en el castillo del monte Lyfjaberg y que nadie podrá entrar a él salvo Svipdag. En este punto da su verdadero nombre y las puertas del castillo se abren.

Though the days are short and often overcast, the holiday spirit makes London living much more pleasant. Here are a few traditions that I learned about this year.
The queue for the filming of John Bishop's Christmas special circumnavigated the giant Lyceum Theatre, which regularly shows "The Lion King." Unless you snag priority tickets and send a delegate to collect and distribute said tickets, arrive at least two hours early to have any chance of viewing the filming. Find your seat, perch the complimentary (and obligatory) Santa hat on your head. Then prepare your vocal cords for a bawdy, unorganized rendition of "The 12 Days of Christmas" coordinated by seat section.
The advent calendars at the Pound Store advertised "Real Milk Chocolate" on the package, so I bought one for me and one for J. The visual countdown was lost since the calendars placed the days in a random order, and the paper doors did not open to reveal a cute holiday illustration behind the chocolate… But J and I played a game: stare at the candy's outline guess the object it was molded into before popping it out of the tray and flipping it over. That's a good deal of festive fun for a pound!
The dimly lit pub is surprisingly elegant when trimmed with evergreen boughs, small white lights and traditional Christmas ornaments. The decorations make the gleaming pub opulent, but also homey and cozy. Slowly sip a mulled wine, the designated seasonal drink, and relax. The drink will take the chill right out of your bones.
Mince pies don't actually contain minced meat; now they are stuffed with a spiced raisin and fruit filling. The fruitcake, with globs of dehydrated fruit, has a similar richness. A beverage to wash these desserts down is a necessity because the desserts are so heavy with a powerful and persistent taste, but the puff pastry mince pie is much easier to stomach than one made with butter crust.
Wrapped cylinders placed on the dinner table are Christmas crackers, which are a bit anti-climactic after reading about wizard crackers in Harry Potter… Two people open one cracker together, one holding each end. Pulling the cracker apart causes a small explosion and the case to burst, revealing a tissue paper crown, a cheap plastic toy and a joke. I wasn't expecting a magic trick or live mice to appear, but the random items in the cracker make for decent conversation starters.
I'm very looking forward to participating in more traditions next year and hopefully sharing them with my family (from the USA) if they come over! Where do you live, and what are some of your favorite holiday habits?
Hi Tanja, I've gotten over my initial disappointment of crackers, hehe. Round 2 (with my in-laws) was more fun when I knew what to expect!


In these three weeks we have focused on refining and analyzing the Topic Model founded on our clear dataset – a collection of twenty-two Relazioni edited by S. Villani spanning from 1489 up to 1763.
First, we took a definitive decision about the tool to use – Mallet. From our perspective, it is a good compromise between performances, results and user-friendliness.
In order to improve our model, we worked on our Italian stopwords database on a recursive basis. After running the program with a standard Italian stopwords list, we manually checked the results finding other stopwords such as archaic Italian stopwords (e.g. et, ipso) and words that were recurrent among different topics. Then we ran our model again. By iterating this procedure, we created a list of almost 500 stopwords that we used to obtain the results we will show later on.
Some keywords (as "guglielmo", "oranges", "olanda") let us think that we are talking mainly about William III Prince of Orange (1650-1702). Consequently, this topic is likely to appear especially in the Relazioni from the second half of 17th century while being almost absent in the previous ones. In other words, we cannot suppose topic distributions among documents to be consistent over time. Therefore, the post-processing has been also oriented to detect the impact of time evolution on our model. This is why we divided the dataset and the related results into 5 time chunks. Each chunk has a time span of 50 years, except for the last one, which covers a period of 74 years to include the last Relazione of our database that was written almost 60 years later than previous one. With this division, the number of Relazioni in each chunk vary from a minimum of three (1489-1539) to a maximum of eight (1589-1639).
We have employed Matlab to perform the post-processing. To have an insight of the topic evolution over time, we averaged the document-topic distribution over each time slot and gathered the results in the following stacked bar chart.
Topic-document distribution averaged over time chunk.
This seems to confirm the unsteadiness of this model. Only a few topics are equally distributed over the full dataset (see topic 12), while the majority has a non-symmetric distribution. As another test, it is useful to check the consistency of this graph with the labels previously attached to each topic. Let's consider the topic 28 again: as expected, its frequency is small up to the end of the sixteenth century, while increasing in the second half of the dataset. On the other hand, there are topics whose distribution is concentrated in the earliest years, as for topic 25. This is in accordance with the upper-right peak in the topic-document distribution color plot (see figure below).
Topic-document distribution for the full dataset.
The last analysis we performed concerns the topic-word distribution. In labelling the topics, we just looked at the top twenty words assigned to that topic. Since the level of relevance can vary, it is necessary to detect the actually relevant words. Inspired by the idea presented in , we extracted the first 10 words from each topic and visualized the result in the following plot. In each word-topic intersection, we put a circle whose radius is proportional to the level of relevance of that word to that topic.
Word-topic distribution for the most relevant words for each topic.
Up to now, we are aligned with our original schedule. We think the results obtained on the clear dataset are reasonable and quite satisfactory. We can now evaluate the possibility to extend the dataset by looking for other sources in the Internet Archive.

The Field's Rewind Series
Pause, rewind, play: 'Here comes Hima Das' – when the Indian won a historic gold medal at U20 Worlds
India had never won a medal in any track event at the athletics world championships, senior or junior, before that day.

"Here comes Hima Das. The Indian can see the line. She can see history. India's never won any medal in a track event. But Das has done it here!"
The Indian sports fans who heard these words on commentary would have got goosebumps, guaranteed.
July 12, 2018. It will forever remain a special day in Indian athletics. At the Under-20 IAAF World Championships in Tampere, Finland an Indian track athlete raced her way to gold.
Hima Das went where no other Indian woman had gone before. In fact, Hima Das went where no other Indian track athlete had gone before. India had never won a medal in any track event at the athletics world championships, senior or junior, before that day.
And with one big push towards the finish line, Das changed it all.
Das became only the fourth Indian ever to win a medal at the Under-20 World Championships and only the second to win a gold after Neeraj Chopra won the Javelin Throw at Bydgoszcz in 2016. Indeed, she was the first ever to do so in a track event.
Running in the fourth lane, Das was behind Romania's Andrea Miklos at the final bend but produced a stunning burst during the final stretch to cross the finishing line well ahead of the field. She produced her trademark burst at the final 50m. Miklos took the silver in 52.07 while Taylor Manson of USA, who was also setting the early pace, was third in 52.28.
"I am very happy to win the gold in the World Junior championships. I want to thank all the Indians back home and also those, who were here cheering me. It was very encouraging to have this kind of support," she had said after the race.
Das, from Dhing village in Assam's Nagaon district, joined the illustrious company of star javelin thrower Chopra, who had won a gold in Poland in the 2016 edition with a world record in that category.

Indeed, 2018 went on to be a special year for Hima Das, as she impressed at the Asian Games too. She sprinted her way to a thoroughly deserved silver medal, breaking the national record twice in two days in Jakarta.
After Das won the 400m gold in the 2018 World U-20 Championships in Finland, the top German brand roped her in as their brand ambassador and later made custom shoes for her that has her name on one side and 'create history' on the other.
"When I started running, I ran barefoot. But in my first Nationals, my father brought running shoes with spikes on them. It was just a normal pair of running shoes. I wrote 'Adidas' on the shoes with my hand. You never know what fate can do, Adidas is now making shoes with my name," the 20-year-old had said recently.

However, a lower back injury has been troubling the star Indian athlete for some time, leading to question marks over her future in the 400m discipline. But, irrespective of what the future holds for the young sprinter, she will always have this golden moment in her career.

Teachers of Mathematics, Science and Dance from secondary schools across Trinidad had the opportunity on Wednesday 27th March, 2019 to share their experiences with the Integrated Arts and Technology Project during a showcase at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Department of Creative and Festival Arts. The Integrated Arts and Technology Project is a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Education and the Embassy of the United States of America, Port of Spain. The initiative sought to encourage teachers into the incorporation of dance into their everyday classroom lessons. Facilitator of the project Ms Kimberli Boyd (US Fullbright Specialist), through practical sessions, over the past two weeks has been taking students and teachers through the methodological integration of dance into the classroom.
Minister of State in the Ministry of Education Dr the Honourable Lovell Francis during his delivery of the event's Feature Address commended the teachers present for their willingness and commitment to trying something new in the classroom. He stated that it was "High time we shifted away from the old ways of thinking where doing something that was considered 'different' was a bad thing."
The sentiment was one that was echoed through the morning's proceedings by Director of Curriculum Planning and Development Division Mr John Roopchan, Public Affairs Officer Embassy of the United States, Port of Spain Mr Adam Jagelski and Dean of Humanities of the UWI Dr Heather Cato. Each highlighted the importance of ensuring that classrooms are spaces where all learners can feel comfortable and included.

Not yet, but they're all stored in a database, so it shouldn't be too hard to whip something up. Perhaps, I'll just have an option to see all of them on one really long page.
I'll try to do something like that this weekend.
DocBook can then be rendered in many formats, including HTML, PDF, etc.
I would love to see an export of the tutorials to DocBook format.
Since it seems to be a form of XML, DocBook should be pretty easy to create. But a single page of HTML should be even easy, so I'd still like to do that first.
DocBook does look neat, though.
Posted: Sat Nov 13, 2004 4:09 pm Post subject: Re: Why not make a tutorial archieve for downloading?
It may take a few minutes to generate, but when it finishes loading it should contain all of the examples on a single page.
Well, thanks a lot. BTW, it's really really really a long page.

Google Delays Deprecation of Third-Party Cookies Until 2023
On June 24, 2021, Google announced it is delaying plans to phase out third-party cookies in its Chrome browser until 2023, instead of the planned 2022 timeline. Although an extension has been put in place, other browsers like Safari and Firefox have already implemented some default blocking against third-party tracking cookies, further emphasizing that it's never too early to start your plan of action for when third-party cookies are removed from Chrome.
Register for webinar: Third-Party Cookies Are Ending: What Does This Mean for Your Website?
Why is Google Extending its Plan to Remove Third-Party Cookies from Chrome?
As a general overview, here are the key things you need to know:
Google's decision seems driven by the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)'s investigation into the company's Privacy Sandbox approach to replacing third-party cookies.
There will be a three-month roll-out for phasing out third-party cookies ending in late 2023.
On July 13, Google will end its current trial of FLoC, its most popular Privacy Sandbox proposal for tracking people and targeting ads.
Google plans to test different cookieless ad methods in development as part of its Privacy Sandbox initiative.
This new timeline doesn't mean that you should pause your plan for how to continue personalization for marketing and advertising in a cookieless world. It will have a major impact on your campaigns.
What is the New Timeline for Third-Party Cookies Going Away?
In the blog post announcing the delay, Google says that decision to phase out cookies over a "three month period" in mid-2023 is "subject to our engagement with the United Kingdom's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)." In other words, Google plans to work more closely with regulators to come up with new technologies to replace third-party cookies for use in advertising.
The company is promising a "more detailed schedule" will be posted on its Privacy Sandbox website. Google's blog mentions, "After this public development process, and subject to our engagement with the CMA, our plan for Chrome is to phase out support for third party cookies in two stages:
Stage 1 (Starting late-2022): Once testing is complete and APIs are launched in Chrome, we will announce the start of stage 1. During stage 1, publishers and the advertising industry will have time to migrate their services. We expect this stage to last for nine months, and we will monitor adoption and feedback carefully before moving to stage 2.
Stage 2 (Starting mid-2023): Chrome will phase out support for third-party cookies over a three-month period finishing in late 2023."
Although Google has provided an extension, that doesn't mean that companies should put a pin in their plan of action for third-party cookies deprecating. Building trust with customers has been the motivator for browsers to do away with third-party cookies. The shifts regulations have inspired in privacy practices over the past few years make it clear marketing trends are moving towards transparency. Privacy legislation has also helped shift consumer expectations and awareness.
More and more, people want to know what types of data you're gathering about them and how you're using it. There are other ways to create hyper-targeted, measurable campaigns, collect data directly from consumers, and protect your revenue. These methods of data collection will also prove to consumers you'll respect their data, and provide a value-exchange for it. We will see organizations take different approaches to the end of third-party cookies.
You'll still need a Consent Management Platform (CMP) in order to comply with regulations and capture consent for other types of cookies and tracking technologies. Additionally, some of the new approach we foresee include integrating with the walled gardens new privacy-focused features sets. You also may want to sync with leading ID Solutions, such as the Trade Desk UID2 or ID5 to target users based on their behavior and data collected from other touchpoints.
Perhaps the most reliable approach is capturing first-party data, information collected directly from your audience or customers, including data from behaviors, actions, or interests, and building your own data set to target. This approach will help maximize personalization and revenue based on the reliability of the data collected from consumers.

Treating trauma and traumatic-grief in children can be a complex task. Effective treatment requires the use of an approach that is supported by research such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Providers and caregivers often wonder what is involved in TF-CBT and how does it differ from "traditional" CBT? What children and caregivers are appropriate for this model? This program will answer these questions as well as covering recommended assessments, goals of treatment, and information about how to become trained. The second half of the program will provide direct and specific strategies for assisting children and their parents with managing the symptoms related to PTSD. This will include cognitive, emotional, and behavioral approaches.
Upon completion of this workshop, participants should increase their ability to effectively care for clients by being able to: • Explain the benefits and expected outcomes of TF-CBT • Identify children who are appropriate for this treatment • List specific strategies to assist children and families with problem behaviors and emotions related to trauma; as well as implement these skills in their daily practice.

Regardless the height of the cliff, jumping from cliffs is deadly.
Regardless of the height of a cliff, jumping from cliffs is deadly. Hang-gliding from cliffs thrills. Jumping from cliffs kills. Jumping 10 m from a cliff that is 1000 m above sea level hurts just as much as jumping 10 m from a cliff that is 900 m above sea level.
Increasing or decreasing the global average temperature causes sea level to rise or fall. Rapidly increasing or decreasing the global average temperature will likely cause sea level to rapidly rise or fall. It does not matter what the current global average temperature is. Causing the global average temperature to jump, as we are, causes sea level to jump. A snail can outrun sea level change, but houses, sky scrapers, buildings, subways, and roads move slower than snails. They sit where they are and drown. Are your children and grand children prepared for this coming future? Is there anything we can do to slow down the ongoing global temperature jump?
If we were doing something to cool the Earth it would also be harmful, because cooling the Earth would cause sea level to fall, and likely would also shift precipitation patterns, agricultural zones, etc. It is not the absolute average temperature of Earth that matters. What matters is that we've spent about 7000 years settling 8 billion people around the Earth in just about every habitable nook and cranny with the climate to which we've become accustomed. Changing that climate by changing the temperature will have consequences.
1. Read here for more information about how and why 2°C became adopted as the upper limit of warming acceptable in agreements designed to limit warming.
The current interglacial period called the Holocene has had very stable temperatures (within 1 degree of variation) over about the last 10,000 years, and this perfectly suits agriculture, which appeared early during this period and flourished. Prior to that period during the ice age climate variation had huge global swings.
Agriculture loves a stable climate, and has been the foundation of advanced human civilisation. We are putting all this at risk. This guy is a chemistry teacher and has some really good thoughts on it.
According to the work of James Hansen et al climate sensitivity roughly follows a U-shaped curve, which means the further you get from your approximately stable start point the faster change occurs.
The longer we push this process the more dangerous it gets with major tipping points like the loss of polar ice sheet stability, ice albedo effect and altering of ocean and atmospheric circulation.
We're now experiencing in North America what a destabilized Arctic vortex means with very cold air that usually sits over the North Pole during winter being pulled deep into the continent producing record cold in many places.
We'll also see these extremes in coming years as ocean levels increase and record storm activity creates record storm surges. Not a possibility now, a statistical certainty given the conditions.
While many mass media outlets have reported record cold, it has not yet been as cold as it used to be from 1900-1950.
At the NCDC temperature records page they currently record no monthly cold lows or monthly cold highs set in the past 7 days. I have seen several reports of daily records (not monthly or yearly records) that might be set tonight. It is possible that the data has not had time to be recorded yet, we should check back in a few days. Since it is January a yearly cold record would be unusual cold while a daily record is not as significant.
Cliff Mass has a post that shows cold spells are warming faster than average global warming (hat tip to snape at Tamino's).
Until the data shows a few all time lows the "record polar vortex" is so much smoke. A post at Tamino's showed that in Minneapolis the number of days per year -20F or lower has dramatically decreased for the past several decades. I heard a newsman report on PBS that it was the "coldest it had been in 50 years". Global warming really got going 50 years ago. A 50 year record would be a cold, but not exceptional day, in the 1920's.
During the "Summer in Wnter" in 2012, in at least 4 locations the low temperature at night was higher than the previous highest temperature ever recorded (at locations with long periods of record). Several daily records were broken by 30F. We will see if this cold spell actually sets any significant records next week.
The deniers like to hype average cold spells as record setting, don't believe them. If it is the coldest day in 20 years it is as cold as an average cold day 75 years ago.
The cold weather in America might well be nothing truly record setting, but there is some preliminary evidence climate change is altering the behaviour of the polar vortex, and leading to potentially lengthy and more frequent periods of very cold winter temperatures in America.
Read the link to Cliff Mass. The data show that cold waves are much less frequent and are warmer than they used to be. They are warming faster than the global average.
If you look at the all time temperature records at the NCDC (linked above) in the past 365 days in the USA there were 181 hot records and only 5 cold records (!!!). That is because hot records are much more common than they used to be and cold records are much less common.
In the NCDC all time global records in the past 365 days there were 568 hot records and only 18 cold records. I do not know how many global sites they use. Many news reports call temperatures that are the coldest for the past 50 years a "record cold" even though it used to be much colder. I also heard "coldest in a generation" which is generally only 30 years. People forget what it used to be like.
I am sorry, in the USA there were 7 cold records in the past 365 days.
You're right to advise caution as weather extremes are often misrepresented as "proof" that a long term warming is not taking place.
It's important to note that global warming and climate change is a long term trend taking place over the entire globe. And while local cold weather records may be broken, this is almost certainly a result of the chaotic disruption of weather caused by a global transition to a warmer Earth.
In the case of some periods of cold weather in North America, this may be due to the fact that generaly warmer temperatures in the Arctic have disrupted atmospheric circulation that in the past has tended to isolate very cold air masses above the Arctic in the winter.
This can result in unusual weather across North America such as a few year ago when we in Edmonton Alberta were experiencing unusually mild weather well above freezing when Florida was seeing sub zero weather and snow.
I grew up in Minnesota, and winter was not winter until we had one or two weeks when daily highs were below 0 and lows were in the -20's or colder. Now we have a couple days when it's cold, and this weekend we will be in the higher 30's low 40's!
The last thing you need when standing on the edge of a cliff is a great leap forward.
Ruddiman has a very plausable theory on why this interglacial has been so much more stable, climate wise, than previous interglacials. See Plows Plagues and Petroleum. A fascinating read.
nigelj@11 I think you are missing a link.
I grew up in north central British Columbia and in the late 1960s remember being kept home from school because the temperature had gone below -50F and there was concerns about frostbite in our young lungs.
In the 1980s working in the forestry sector there was one winter when it went below -40C and stayed there for a week. That was the last prolonged deep freeze I can remember here. We still get cold snaps but not like decades ago and the forests really show it. It takes prolonged deep cold to kill off large numbers of pine beetle who burrow into trees to lay eggs and produce natural antifreeze to make it through the winter.
All the dead trees covering BC are just one more sign of climate change to many of us.
Doug_C@13 Before I woke up to the reality of GW/CC about 7 years ago, before that time I started noticing what I called digital weather, where Spring would be wet and cold for about 2-3 months, then summer would be dry and hot for 2-3 months. In general Minnesota winters have been much milder than when I grew up. I remember experiencing -35F, but not -50F. In my generation (late 50's) I can't think of anyone I've talked with who does not remark about how winters are currently milder than in the 60's and 70's.
It appears that the NCDC temperature records page is down due to the government shutdown. My previous numbers were probably incorrect.
Some "record cold", a few records and then warm weather. The deniers crow about normal cold and the mass media follow along. In the 1920's this would have been cold but not exceptional. People have forgotten what cold weather was. Cliff Mass was right.

How to Reach Orgasm. Best and Simple Tips
MissVic	June 29, 2018 1
How to grow Dick
- A man with a seven-inch (18 cm) penis may proudly compare his organ to the average man's five to six inches (12-15 cm) but be intimidated when learning another wields an eight-inch (20 cm) rod.
There are four keys which can help to reach orgasm for a woman who has never had one.
Patience, presence, pathos, and pace. Those are the four keys to helping a woman to reach orgasm when she never has before.
Be patient. That's the most important thing. Listen to what her experience has been, what her fears may be, and what her desires are. Ask her questions and be prepared to hear the answers. Ask her if she has any questions. Most—not all, but most—women who have never had an orgasm have trouble getting and staying in their bodies and keeping their head in the game. They may be distracted by past trauma or experiences. Or they may have body issues. Or they may worry about how an orgasm will feel, if they will be able to have one, what they will sound like, and so on. If you want to help a woman reach orgasm, being patient is paramount.
Be present. Every woman's experience is unique when it comes to reach orgasm. Facilitating one for someone, especially for someone who has never had one, is about being able to meet her where she is and help her to get to where she wants to be. Stay in the moment with her and she will be eternally grateful.
Have pathos. Being understanding of what a woman trying to reach orgasm is going through will make all the difference when it comes to whether or not this will be her breakthrough. Regardless of your own orgasm experience, do your best to put yourself in her place and understand how challenging and perhaps embarrassing or scary this might be.
Be mindful of her pace. Take your time and let her know that she can take her time too. Most women can't and don't come in an instant, especially the first time around and especially if her path to reach orgasm has been a long and challenging one. Start with sensual activities like a full-body massage, and then work up to breast massage and ultimately vulvar massage. Once she is fully relaxed and aroused, then consider moving on to clitoral stimulation, penetration, oral sex, and the rest. This is the fun part. Don't rush. The longer the tease, the more fulfilling the please.
passion man and woman
Women don't take "too long" to come, and facilitating female orgasm is not "hard work."
First of all, orgasm—having one or facilitating one—should never, ever be considered work, unless it is actually your career. Reach orgasm is one of life's greatest pleasures, and if it's your orgasm and it feels like work, it's time to rethink what orgasm means to you.
And it's time to consider a new partner if it's your partner's orgasm that you don't want to be troubled with. Getting to reach orgasm should be at least half the fun for any and all parties involved. If it isn't, consider whether you've taken note of what this book has to offer about the ins and outs of maximizing your orgasm-having and -giving.
The second major issue here is why there is any comparing at all going on. Men's orgasms and women's orgasms are very different. There's no need to compare them and, honestly, no good can come from that. In fact, comparing them, to my mind, is what got us into the orgasm mess we're in now. It doesn't take women "too long." It takes as long as it takes. It doesn't take "too much" to get a woman to come. It's just a delusion that a few strokes of a penis in a vagina is some sort of cause for celebration.
If women are going to have happy, healthy orgasmic lives, we've got to recalibrate.
Women's orgasms are equally good and equally important and very much different. Once we all come to accept those truths, issues like this will arise less frequently—and show-stopping orgasms will arise far more frequently.
womans orgasm
It may have taken you a long time to have your first one, and that doesn't matter.
I don't know specifically why it took so long for the number of readers who asked this question. I do know that I found it intriguing that they posed the question at all. My guess is that these women feel as if they missed something or that perhaps something was or is wrong with them.
But the truth is, a variety of factors could have contributed to the fact that it was a long time coming for them to start coming. And all that matters now is that they are coming. So, do your best to let it go if this is one of those questions that plagues your own mind. If it's all good now, it's all good!

Reach orgasm can be so darn elusive sometimes.
Orgasms are fickle fellows. They are as dependent on our bodies as they are on our minds. Depending on the time of month, how much sleep you've had, whether you've been drinking, who you're with, whether or not you're alone, what kind of sex acts you're partaking in, and so on and so on, sometimes an to reach orgasm may be really hard or even impossible to come by.
Even though this whole book is about how important orgasms are and how to have them, it's also about learning not to put so much focus on the orgasm itself. Pleasure should be the focus, not necessarily to reach orgasm. And, like with a lot of things, once you stop chasing it, it will likely come to you with ease.
Why is it hard sometimes? Because it is. Because it's the human body we're talking about here. So set your mind at ease. Think of sex as play. Sometimes the game has a dramatic conclusion and sometimes it's to be continued…
You never have to feel intimidated when it comes to reach orgasm.
Intimidation is an interesting emotion. I went on a date with a woman once who told me she wasn't sure she would ever want to sleep with me because she was intimidated by me.
"You're literally writing the book on orgasm," she said, laughing.
It was funny, because I felt incredibly intimidated by her—because of her work (she's an incredibly successful DA in Los Angeles); because her "time in the field" far outweighs mine when it comes to being with women; and, quite honestly, because she's a butch of the Shane from The L Word kind.
I was glad for the conversation, because it made me think about something absolutely vital to this conversation. We should never be intimidated by someone's perceived knowledge about all things sex, because the truth is, it doesn't really matter. It's basically a clean slate every time.
Sure, I've read all the books and tried all the tricks. But as soon I'm with someone new, it's a whole new game on a whole new playing field.
Killer orgasms are about lifelong learning. Our way of looking at sex morphs and changes and grows. It should, anyway. If you stop exploring, you might as well forget about expanding your orgasmic capacity.
So don't be intimidated by a new partner, or allow a current partner to be intimidated by new interests you may be developing. In so many ways, we are all new. Every sexual experience has the capacity to be new.
Be open to giving and receiving and listening and hearing, and you will be bowled over by the kind of orgasms you will begin to have. So many of our orgasmic limitations have to do with expectations and preconceived notions. The brain gets too busy and the body doesn't have a chance to enjoy.
Case in point: One night I went home with a girl who had kissed another woman before, but had otherwise only been sexual with men. She seemed to be enjoying the play but simply could not reach orgasm. She told me the next day that she just couldn't let go enough to go there despite the fact that she expected to be able to.
Interestingly, in the middle of it all, she offered—unsolicited—that what she didn't expect to be able to do was to go down on a woman. But, out of nowhere, she did, and I had an incredibly intense orgasm. She was tickled that she could go there and enjoy it and was able to make me come, giving her a renewed sexual energy and sense of power, almost as good as reach orgasm herself!
So leave intimidation at the door. If it's at play in any of your sexual endeavors, tell it to hit the road. And if the person causing it won't allow it to leave on its own, he or she is welcome to go with it. There's no room for that in pursuit of the ultimate reach orgasm.
For many women, the blended orgasm is the ultimate orgasm.
Throughout this book, we're going to talk about all kinds of zones and places from which reach orgasm can emanate. But it's important that you know, right from the get-go, that for most women, the blended (or combo) orgasm is their definition of the ultimate orgasm.
The idea of the blended orgasm is rooted deeply in science; it is based on the fact that the clitoris has "legs" nestled within the vagina as well as a tip exposed on the outside. So, tending to the clitoris in a variety of ways in a variety of places will lead to the kind of explosive, winding, lengthy, ultimate orgasm for which most of us long.
This means engaging the tip of the clit externally, while also engaging the breasts, anus, skin, brain, G-Zone, and/or
A-Zone at the same time using the fingers, toys, the mouth, or other body parts as you see fit.
This article is about not limiting yourself to the current primary definition of sex. Sex is pleasure. No need to limit that.

Plastic Injection Moulding - An Introduction
Plastic Injection Moulding - An Introduction Full-time Job
One of the most common methods of converting plastics from the raw material form to an article of use is the process of Plastic Injection Mold. This process is most typically used for thermoplastic materials which may be successively melted, reshaped and cooled. Injection moulded components are a feature of almost every functional manufactured article in the modern world, from automotive products through to food packaging. This versatile process allows us to produce high quality, simple or complex components on a fully automated basis at high speed with materials that have changed the face of manufacturing technology over the last 50 years or so.
To understand the engineering and operation of modern day injection moulding machines, it is useful to first look at the not too distant origins of the process. The first Automotive Injection Mold machines were based around pressure die casting technology used for metals processing, with patents registered in the USA in the 1870's specifically for celluloid processing. Further major industrial developments did not occur until the 1920's when a series of hand operated machines were produced in Germany to process thermoplastic materials. A simple lever arrangement was used to clamp a two piece mould together. Molten plastic was then injected into the mould to produce the moulded component. Being an inherently low pressure process, it was limited in use. Pneumatic cylinders were added to the machine design to close the mould, although little improvement was made. Hydraulic systems were first applied to injection moulding machinery in the late 1930's as a wider range of materials became available, although the machine design was still largely related to die casting technology.
Large-scale development of Plastic Mold Packaging design towards the machines we know today did not occur until the 1950's in Germany. Earlier machines were based on a simple plunger arrangement to force the material into the mould, although these machines soon became inadequate as materials became more advanced and processing requirements became more complex. The main problem with a straightforward plunger arrangement was that no melt mixing or homogenisation could be readily imparted to the thermoplastic material. This was exacerbated by the poor heat transfer properties of a polymeric material. One of the most important developments in machine design to overcome this problem, which still applies to modern processing equipment today, was the introduction to the injection barrel of a plunging helical screw arrangement. The machine subsequently became known as a 'Reciprocating Screw' injection moulding machine.
The Injection Moulding Cycle
The modern day process has developed and matured significantly to the level where fully automated, closed loop, microprocessor controlled machines are the 'norm', although in principle injection moulding is still a relatively simple process. Thermoplastic injection moulding requires the transfer of the polymeric material in powder or granule form from a feed hopper to a heated barrel. In the barrel, the thermoplastic is melted and then injected into a mould with some form of plunger arrangement. The mould is clamped shut under pressure within a platen arrangement and is held at a temperature well below the thermoplastic melt point. The molten thermoplastic solidifies quickly within the mould, allowing ejection of the component after a pre determined period of cooling time. The basic Plastic Injection Molding process steps with a reciprocating screw machine are as follows.
Mould Close and Clamping
The mould is closed within the platen arrangement and clamped using necessary force to hold the mould shut during the plastic injection cycle, thus preventing plastic leakage over the face of the mould. Present day moulding machines range from around 15 to 4,000 metric tonnes available clamping force (150 to 4000 kN).
Many systems are available for opening/closing and clamping of mould tools, although usually they are of two general types. Direct Hydraulic Lock is a system where the moving machine platen is driven by a hydraulic piston arrangement which also generates the required force to keep the mould shut during the Clean Room Injection Molding operation. Alternatively, smaller auxiliary pistons may be used to carry out the main movement of the platen and a mechanical blocking arrangement is used to transfer locking pressure from a pressure intensifier at the rear of the machine, which moves only by a few millimetres, through to the platen and tool.

From Design Junction 2018 comes a collaboration for Danish Disrupted. Angie Parker's immediate response to the collection was of its potential for her weaving. A dramatic and unrestrained celebration of colour and a passion for her craft brings together this new work for Spotlight at Devon Guild of Craftsmen.
Angie uses a traditional Scandinavian weave in order to show these vivid colours. It takes three throws of the shuttle for every one of a conventional weave, which makes a luxurious and strong finish to the fabric.
The colours for these pieces came from local graffiti in Bristol seen by Angie each day on her way to her studio.
The chairs are finished with a filled grain, deep blue black stain and a matt lacquer, providing the strength and colour for a gallery or home environment.
More of these chairs are available to commission. Contact Angie or Jonathan.

Did you ever wonder if you could create a temporary result set and use that within a single SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE statement? I bet you have, and before SQL Server 2005 came along, I am sure that you used either sub-queries, cursors or temporary tables to achieve the desired results.
As is the case with everything, CTEs in excess can also cause more harm than good. CTEs are more of "expandable" blocks of code, and hence, if you use them more than once in a query, you will end up with performance issues. This is because the entire data set is populated the number of times a CTE is used. For cases where you need to use the same data set again and again, use temporary tables or table variables instead.
I hope that CTE's opened up a whole new programming paradigm for all. If you have not started experimenting with CTEs, I recommend that you start doing so – it will be fun.

Turned out some amazing looking boneless skinless chicken breasts tonight. Did my usual routine of !80 degrees on the Rec Tec till they hot 110 degrees internal temp, then onto the Weber to finish and sear.
and here's how the finished plate came out, with a bit of mixed veggies and some strawberry apple sauce in a cup.
Chicken took about an hour and 20 on the Rec Tec, and about another 15 or so on the Weber. I probably would have gotten better grill marks if I'd fired up the Weber a bit sooner and let the rack get hot. Flavor was great with just SPG for seasoning, and just the right amount of moisture (juicy but not draining everywhere). Mesquite pellets on the smoke also in case anyone's curious.
Nice looking Bird; unique but I think cool idea of using the 2 cookers.

Despite the fact that the Rec Tec can get up to 475 (supposedly 500, but it's never quite reached it, LOL), the one thing it fails at is searing meat. Now I get smoke and grill marks.
Looks really good! Nice plating, too.
Looks great! I agree, I have a pellet cooker and it doesn't make a great grill.
This bird is definitely the word!
Thanks all. Tease I lead off with in the initial post aside, it's nice to be among supportive friends here (and OUP ). You all have helped alot with how far I've progressed with my outdoor cooking.
