Volunteer to Help Everyone Survive Climate Change and Global Warming
Thanks for volunteering!
Ready to play a bigger role? Please see our volunteer page to see ways you can make a bigger contribution to end global warming.
If you have any doubts about volunteering to help spread our life-critical message and mission, we strongly recommend that you click here and watch this 4 Minute Global Warming Video by Greta Thunberg given at the United Nations on September 23, 2019. It should help you to quickly understand and feel the seriousness of the global warming-caused mass extinction emergency we now face and why we must work together to get our politicians to act now.
Special Update of November 6, 2020: Job One for Humanity and UniverseSpirit.org are now working together to create the new urban, suburban, and rural eco-communities described below. If you are interested in volunteering and helping us or learning from what we are doing send us an email as described below.
To deal with accelerating global warming, the 11 other most critical global challenges, and the many coming catastrophes, we have started creating the first of many sustainable eco-communities. These new communities would also have a high potential to survive and thrive in the safest global warming locations and have the best chance to survive the 11 other global challenges that are rapidly worsening.
These intentionally designed communities will have a new system of personalized democratic political management that will better serve the community's wellbeing. They will also have new fair exchange driven economic models.
We hope that someday these new economic, political, and social models that we will be creating will become a new, better model for the post-collapse future worldwide.
These communities will be developed using open-source models. Anyone joining and contributing may use all of the information we have assembled and branch off on their own at any time to form their unique urban, suburban, or rural new community.
We plan for this first new rural community to eventually have up to 500 people, so we are looking at potential land purchases up to 2,000 acres.
This first community is designed to be a place for the best of appropriate modern technology, sustainable gardens and farms, (an agrihood) net-zero energy construction, a focus on ongoing personal growth and education, off-the-grid independence, green energy generation, complete recycling, environmentally sensitive policies.
It will also be a place where humanists, individuals who value rationality and science, and individuals with progressive spiritual practices will feel comfortable.
If you want to help co-create these new communities, email manage@Joboneforhumanity.org and put "New Sustainable Community" in the subject line.

With one click you can both sign the petition and, if you use the share button, it will be electronically sent to your friends as well as people in power who are responsible for addressing the global warming emergency. If any of your friends need to be informed about why this emergency meeting needs to be called, you can refer them to the global warming educational materials on the Job One For Humanity website.
We, the citizens of our nation and of our Earth, are endowed with certain rights, powers, and obligations, which demand we act both individually and collectively to protect and preserve the ongoing evolution of life on Earth, including our future generations.
Based upon a preponderance of scientific evidence, we recognize our global climate is rapidly warming and becoming increasingly unstable due to human-caused carbon pollution from the burning of fossil fuels. If we do not change course before global warming tipping points are crossed, this destabilization of our climate will continue to cause ever-increasing suffering and potentially irreversible devastation for both current and future generations. If left unresolved, it could cause the extinction, or near extinction, of the human species.
We further recognize that rapidly escalating global warming emergency and its consequent climate destabilization is the greatest current active threat to the security of all nations, comparable in the scope of impact to global nuclear war. Escalating average global temperature rises will lead to destabilization affecting first millions, then billions of people forced to deal with ongoing climate catastrophes, food and other resource depletion, and mass migrations.
Nearly all of the major problems our world faces today worsen and multiply due to escalating global warming. All of the ecological, economic, and political problems listed below will cross-intensify and therefore worsen as average global temperatures rise.
Food and resource depletion
Severe droughts, floods, and wildfires
Water pollution and water table loss
Desertification and deforestation
Ocean fish stock depletion
Growing economic inequity, poverty, and instability
Political instability and injustice
War and regional conflicts
Increasing potential of pandemics and other health crises
Despite 30 years of education, study, and discussion about the possible irreversible effects of human-caused carbon and methane pollution of our atmosphere, global warming temperatures have escalated to levels that may have already passed or be close to passing global warming tipping point with impacts that are irreversible. We must immediately reverse the continued rise of average global temperature by decreasing the human-caused production of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels. Failure to resolve global warming for ourselves and future generations is simply not a survivable option.
The purposes of this emergency meeting of world leaders is as follows:
Publicly declare that the national and international criteria for planning and implementing new laws to resolve the global warming emergency are to do only what is essential and effective in the properly prioritized sequence to keep us from crossing any critical global warming tipping points.
Demand new, verifiable, and enforceable national and international laws that will effectively and quickly achieve the global warming reduction needed to avoid tipping points. These new laws must immediately:
create a revenue neutral, Fee and Dividend-based global warming reduction program.
remove all government subsidies from fossil fuel energy generation.
incentivize divestment from the fossil fuel energy generation industry.
tax all fossil fuel profits at significantly higher rates.
mandate that the fossil fuel corporations pay for all past and current environmental damage.
mandate using Fee and Dividend revenue or other global warming-related revenues to provide generous government subsidies and incentives for expanding green energy generation and use.
mandate using Fee and Dividend revenue or other global warming-related revenues to fund employee job retraining, as well as a business and nation recovery fund to assist all individuals, businesses, and nations that will suffer significant financial losses because of the rapidly falling use of fossil fuels.
mandate using Fee and Dividend revenue or other global warming-related revenues to fund a global education and public relations campaign on why the public will have to comply with many new and difficult global warming reduction laws soon to be enforced by our governments.
mandate using Fee and Dividend revenue or other global warming-related revenues to increase natural and technological carbon sequestration.
authorize the International Monetary Fund, The World Bank, and other national and international bank transaction clearinghouses to impose and collect global warming law violation penalty fees.
mandate the creation of a separate global warming emergency recovery reserve fund equal to 5% of national GDP.
fund research into new, appropriate technologies that may become our last hope and backup plan to remove toxic carbon and methane pollution from the atmosphere before we go over the climate cliff.
call for the immediate creation of a more accurate and complete global warming risk analysis, as well as mandating annual global warming risk analysis updates to be done by the respective intelligence agencies of each nation.
As global citizens of every nation on Earth, we ask you, our national leaders, to immediately convene with all other national leaders from every country to pass effective, verifiable, and enforceable new laws to resolve the escalating global warming emergency before it is too late, and to sustainably protect, preserve, and advance the continued evolution of humanity and life on Earth.
By signing this petition now, I pledge to act together with others as one human family to acknowledge and resolve the escalating global warming-caused climate destabilization crisis.

Kirsty Hill signed Stop Saying "climate change" Pledge 2016-03-26 23:57:35 -0700
Stop Saying "Climate Change" for These Critical Reasons
Words have power. Words can be used to fairly or unfairly frame a discussion to limit and control how the members of that discussion can think about the issues being presented.
This can be done without the members ever knowing that their thinking or options to understand or resolve that issue have been invisibly limited or controlled by outside or invisible forces. Unfortunately, this is precisely what has happened in the framing of today's global warming emergency and discussions.
The fossil fuel industry and its lobbyists have successfully reframed our real global warming extinction emergency. This has dramatically hindered the public's ability to think accurately about this crisis.
They have invisibly reframed the global warming emergency by getting governments, worldwide media, and even many unwitting environmental groups to use or continue to use the innocuous, vague, and relatively calming words "climate change." This is happening in a real crisis when we should be vigorously discussing the real and highly dangerous global warming extinction emergency.
Propaganda in part often redefines or confuses the ordinary meaning of words and concepts to control the target of the propaganda's ability to think or hold specific "undesirable" concepts that the propaganda source does not want to be thought about.
Here is how the fossil fuel industry has successfully redefined the global warming extinction emergency. The fossil fuel industry has redirected the mass public's attention away from the actual real threat and problem, global warming, to something that is not the core threat or problem.
The fossil fuel industry vigorously promotes using the term climate change and not global warming. By doing so, it has turned a scary and real truth that needs to be dealt with on an urgent basis into the nebulous and benign concept that "the climate (weather) is always changing. Exactly the way it has customarily behaved during your whole life."
Because of this intentional misdirection, people feel falsely safe and nothing much is done to deal with the ever-changing processes of our natural climate. Unfortunately, nothing could be farther from the truth!
It's time to do something about this covert theft of our ability to think appropriately about the global warming emergency and its imminent threat to our existence.
I hereby pledge to stop using the term "climate change" in my daily conversations. Instead, I will use, the global warming extinction emergency, the global warming emergency, escalating global warming, out of control global warming or catastrophic climate destabilization to describe the current escalating increase in the Earth's average global temperature and the ongoing and escalating destruction to our lives and the environment caused by global warming primarily due to our burning of fossil fuels. (It is ok to add the following AKA [also known as] terms [climate change, climate emergency, climate crisis, climate extinction crisis etc.,] after any of those more effective terms. This way your writing gets searched more widely on the Internet because unfortunately, those are the terms now more widely used.
I make this pledge because:
"Climate change" is a misleading term employed by the fossil fuel industry and its advocates to lull the media and the public into a false sense of security. This propaganda is intended to make the global warming extinction emergency seem more benign and non-threatening. It suggests the Earth's climate is always in a natural state of climatic change, rather than global warming's direct causation being from human-caused carbon and methane pollution now threatening the survival of humanity within our lifetimes.
Rising global temperatures are the most serious currently active challenge facing humanity, comparable in scope of impact to global nuclear war if such were to occur.
The idea of "natural" climate change diminishes the real seriousness of our human-caused escalating global warming extinction emergency and it does not directly implicate our increasing use of fossil fuels, and the resultant carbon and methane pollution, as the primary cause.
I pledge that I will contest fossil fuels corporations and climate deniers misframing and falsely defining the real dangers of global warming by calling it climate change! We are facing an imminent global warming extinction threat and emergency that is already causing devastating losses due to drought, sea-level rise, air pollution, and increasingly severe weather.
I choose to stop using the term "climate change." By my action, I now bring more urgency and clarity to climate discussions by speaking the scientifically proven truth that our Earth is truly now experiencing a global warming extinction emergency caused by human actions.

You can read the links to the research proofs as you go, or in the online signatory acknowledgment, we email to you.
Our Short Form Global Warming Emergency Petition
Our current global warming emergency can only be resolved at this late stage by immediately and radically reducing the human-caused burning of fossil fuels using the correct reduction targets and by also reducing other key greenhouse gases like the release of methane from fracking and melting permafrost.
Therefore, we hereby demand
That all of our political leaders act today before it is too late to prevent untold suffering and the extinction of much of humanity by mid-century!
We specifically demand that our government leaders meet to:
1. Formally declare a national and international Global Warming Extinction Emergency.
2. Immediately pass enforceable and verifiable national and international laws that will successfully get us at or very close to our last chance, 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. And,
3. Order an immediate mass mobilization of ALL necessary resources and personnel to execute ALL required governmental and individual actions to meet or come close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets to resolve our current global warming extinction emergency.
By electronically signing this petition (in the box at the bottom of the page,) I am officially petitioning my national politicians to execute the three above actions to protect and preserve humanity and all animal and biological life on Earth.
Our Long Form Global Warming Petition
(When you electronically sign the form at the bottom of this page the petition is activated.)
We, the citizens of our nation and of the Earth, are endowed with certain rights, powers, and obligations, which demand we act to preserve and protect the future of humanity as well as Earth's other animal and biological life.
Based on abundant scientific evidence or our own current experiences, we recognize that the global climate is rapidly warming and becoming increasingly unstable due to human-caused atmospheric carbon pollution primarily from the burning of fossil fuels.
We also recognize that in spite of 35 years of credible scientific warnings, global warming is still rising and has now reached dangerous levels!
We have already seen or experienced global warming-aggravated weather, like record-breaking floods, hurricanes, and wildfires. We have witnessed the "worst in centuries" droughts and dust storms. We have experienced alternating unseasonably cold then warm winters, extreme storms, bomb cyclones, and rain bombs where weeks or months' worth of rain falls in a few hours or a few days.
With our own eyes, we see that something very abnormal is happening to the previous normal stability of our seasonal weather patterns. We have also noticed that global warming connected consequences (like those just mentioned,) are becoming more frequent, more severe, and are affecting larger and larger areas of our country and the world!
We recognize that if we do not immediately reduce our global fossil fuel burning behaviors before additional critical global warming tipping points are crossed, the destabilization of our global climate will continue at even faster rates causing among other things, unprecedented global crop failures and unthinkable mass starvation.
Our best climate scientists have determined that if we do not meet or come very close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets (found here,) we will face a massive extinction event where most of humanity will die by mid-century. We also recognize that the hyper-optimism of current new technology carbon capture schemes (NETs) are in reality, no more than asking us to believe that magical carbon sucking unicorns will appear at the last minute and save us from our own continuing failure to radically reduce the use of fossil fuels.
Unsurprisingly, escalating global warming will not only affect humanity's survival possibilities. It also presents an equally grave extinction threat to much of the animal and biological species on Earth.
Rising global warming has already become the 21st century's single greatest disruptor, multiplier and amplifier of existing economic, political, social, and biological instability. It will also act to make most of our other 12 most destructive and important global problems far worse.
If we fail to make the life-critical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, escalating global warming will pass multiple points of no return and the laws of climate physics will take over and global warming will go out of our meaningful control.
Global warming consequences are already affecting millions in many areas of the world. No one will be ultimately safe from the consequences of runaway global warming and the real and present mass extinction threat it presents.
Many individuals and businesses are already forced to deal with global warming-related catastrophes, food, and resource depletion, as well as the mass migration of desperate climagees (climate migrants.) Long before mid-century, global warming catastrophes will be affecting billions of people everywhere on Earth!
The coming bill for escalating climate catastrophes will eventually crush the economies of most nations.
We now face a world in which runaway global warming can cause mass human extinction and create increasing social, economic, and political chaos, not sometime near 2100 as was wrongly predicted, but as soon as mid-century.
Worse yet, as our average global temperatures continue to rise, the world's 12 other major social, economic, and political challenges will also amplify each other. Our 12 other largest global challenges (other than the global warming and immediate global nuclear war or biological or nuclear terrorism,) will interact with each other and will also worsen as global warming gets worse.
Those 12 other major global challenges are:
Global Challenge 1: Resolving the current COVID-19 global pandemic. Directly and indirectly, the current COVID-19 pandemic is due in significant part to the loss of natural wild animal habitat caused by global warming and other man-made causes such as eating more wild and not domesticated animals, the exploding and hungry world populations crowding into urban areas, and the overall deterioration of global health services.
If a vaccine is ever found, the COVID-19 pandemic is estimated to go on around the world until mid to late 2021 or even into early 2022 before everyone is vaccinated. If no vaccine is found, like what has happened with AIDS and other viruses over the last 30 years, we will be living with the effects of COVID-19 until a "herd immunity" is developed (if that immunity is even applicable to this virus. A somewhat safer global herd immunity could take as many a 3-5 years to develop.)
Global Challenge 2: increasing global economic instabilities that are leading to regularly reoccurring global and national recessions or depressions over shorter and shorter time periods. (These recessions and depressions are fueled by existing economic weaknesses, lack of financial reserves, huge national deficits, low financial system resilience, and major unexpected shocks or events (like COVID-19,) hitting the global markets and global financial systems.
COVID-19 is predicted to create a global financial recession or depression that could last until late 2022 or until 2025 or as long as 2030. (Ten years for recovery from a COVID-19 global recession or depression is not that long when you consider that ten years is the time it took to recover from the 2008 global banking and housing meltdown and recession.)
Global Challenge 3: ever-rising over-population, (the Earth has the carrying capacity for about 1 1/2 - 2 billion people. Currently, we are near 8 billion people adding about 130 million additional people each year racing to 9.8 billion by or before 2050. (About 50 million people a year normally die.)
We are way over sustainable population levels already yet, no government other than China seems willing to set a one child per couple policy! Future and current generations will suffer unthinkable catastrophes because, as humanity, we failed to manage the size of our global population to match the carrying capacity of our global environment and the Earth's available resources.
Please note that as the global population continues to rise, the additional population serves to further amplify and multiply the most harmful consequences of almost all the 12 other global challenges and consequences listed on this page.) One could easily say that overpopulation and its inherent over-consumption beyond our carrying capacity is also a major cause behind today's global warming emergency. (Please click this carrying capacity link to learn more about why this rapidly rising overpopulation challenge is so dangerous.)
For a candid and balanced article on the immense suffering caused by our overpopulation global challenge, please see this article, Population, the Great Knee-Jerker: A Holistic Survey and Plea to Reduce Suffering.
Global Challenge 4: rising global resource depletion (aka overshoot) caused by overpopulation, toxic pollution of water, lands, and air, crop failures, overfishing, topsoil loss, resource distribution injustice, and the massive "overconsumption and waste" of the Earth's finite resources. Global resource depletion will significantly increase food shortages and cause soaring food prices leading to more starvation and mass migrations. For example, the following are estimates of when only a few of our critical global resources will be depleted; freshwater 12 years (2032), fish stocks almost totally gone by 2050, adequate topsoil for crop growing gone by 2070. (See this page to see 90 percent of fish stock already overfished and to see charts on how this loss will throw much of the world into starvation.)
Of particular concern is the depletion of phosphorous critically needed for crop fertilizers. Adequate access to this could run out in as little as 35-45 years.
If you still do not believe that massive resource depletion and overshoot is a huge soon-arriving problem? Watch this fantastic resource overshoot video with great graphics and global resource depletion amounts and time frames in simple illustrations by Hugh Montgomery, a noted English professor. (We strongly recommend you watch this video for all of the food and non-food resources that are in an accelerating depletion peril. [Forward the video to the 10 minutes and 30-second mark to begin watching Professor Hugh Montgomery's compelling graphic presentation.])
There are also many other critical mineral and non-mineral resources that will also run out soon, click here for more about these.
Global Challenge 5: escalating pollution of lands, air, and waters. Ongoing and accelerating toxic pollution kills crops, fish stocks, and poisons our air, water, and soil creating and accelerating all types of global health, social, and economic problems. (Ocean heating and ocean acidification from carbon from global warming will eventually kill off much of the oceans' oxygen-producing plankton. These plankton are responsible for as much as 50% of all oxygen produced on the planet.)
Global Challenge 6: loss of biodiversity, we are having more plants and animals go extinct than at any other time in human history. This is due to an ongoing and accelerating loss of natural habitat due to overpopulation, global warming, overuse, pollution, etc. (Leading Stanford University biologists, who were first to reveal that we are already experiencing the sixth mass extinction on Earth, released new research this week showing species extinctions are accelerating in an unprecedented manner, which may be another tipping point for the collapse of human civilization.)
Global Challenge 7: growing economic inequality, social and racial injustice, hunger, and poverty. Today less than 1% of the world's population owns more than 50% of all wealth. Over for the last several decades, this ownership percentage continues to grow in favor of the wealthy.
Growing economic inequality and poverty always increase food shortages and often cause food prices to soar leading once again to mass starvation and mass migrations. This year (2020,) 130 million people are lacking adequate food and could starve to death. COVID-19's effect on the world economy could double that number of the next few years. Over the following decades, global warming consequences will raise that number into the hundreds of millions eventually rising well past a billion.)
Global Challenge 8: escalating regional and international terrorism, conflicts, and war. While COVID-19 has temporarily slowed some regional and national conflicts, expect these conflicts to increase in intensity, frequency, and scale once COVID-19 is brought under control. The world still faces all of the other global challenges on this page getting worse and being mostly unresolved. Global nuclear war is still both a real and escalating threat as all of the global challenges on this page continue to get worse and nations with nuclear weapons contest with each other and other nations for safer lands and dwindling resources.
Global Challenge 9: More mass migrations, political and economic instability, increasing terrorism, conflicts, and war plus global warming and many of the other listed global challenges on this page will both create and expand sudden, massive migrations of millions then billions of people. During this phase, as the listed global challenges on this page intensify, various stronger governments will order precautionary evacuations to limit casualties and losses from their most vulnerable areas. Before 2030 because of global warming alone, the world will see hundreds of millions of climagees (climate refugees.)
Global Challenge 10: New COVID-19 like pandemics as well as other new and older disease epidemics that will now likely occur every decade. This will in part be due to global warming melting of the permafrost, loss of natural animal habitat, eating more wild animals, overcrowding, less resilient health systems, mass migrations, wars and conflicts, and many of the other challenges and consequences listed on this page.
Additionally, new and older disease epidemics will occur more frequently and be more severe because of the abuse of antibiotics in animal product production. This abuse has resulted in bacteria that are now resistant to every known type of antibiotic. Worse yet, because of accelerating global warming, more COVID-19 type global pandemics could come as often as every decade. The AIDS virus became widespread in the late 1970s, the SARS virus in 2003, the MERS virus in 2012, and the Ebola virus in 2013. Click here for more about how escalating global warming may begin producing COVID-19 like pandemics every decade.
Global Challenge 11: increasing political instability and collapsing governments. Fueled by existing internal and external conflicts, soaring deficits, and the intensifying global challenges listed on this page, poorly managed nations with weak economies and low existing resilience will fall first. In 2020 we already see numerous countries on the verge of economic or political collapse. As the increased stresses of these listed global challenges continue to increase upon already weakened nations, more nations will steadily collapse.
Global Challenge 12: Our failure to evolve effective global governance with the needed legislative, judicial, and enforceable executive powers to solve global challenges that cross national borders. If you think about it carefully, you will discover that this global challenge (and critical evolutionary failure,) of having no unified or truly effective global governance, IS one of the single biggest reasons and core structural causes for why most of our other global challenges have not yet been resolved or, continue to exist. The evolutionary absence of effective global governance alone acts to facilitate, escalate, or enable almost all of the other global challenges that we currently face.
Despite 35 years of scientific reports as well as 21 International conferences about the near-certain extinction effects of the carbon (and methane,) pollution of our atmosphere, global warming temperatures have both continued to rise and have accelerated to levels that have passed dangerous tipping points.
There is true urgency to this global warming extinction emergency!
Our average global temperature and atmospheric carbon levels are far too close to crossing the final 4 extinction-accelerating tipping points.
It is now too late for individual fossil fuel reduction actions alone. Our governments must act in an immediate, all-out mass mobilization creating all of the needed resources and enforcing any needed new laws to ensure we meet the 2025 fossil fuel reduction targets.
If we fail to get close to the 2025 targets, this emergency becomes a no-win game for everyone, no matter how much money or power they might have and, no matter where they might try to escape to!
Our current global warming emergency can only be resolved by first immediately and radically reducing the human-caused production of fossil fuel carbon and other key greenhouse gases produced directly and indirectly from the global burning of fossil fuels.
As you consider the urgency of this matter, please also keep in mind that many of our government leaders have utterly failed to see the coming pain and suffering of the COVID-19 pandemic emergency, nor did they adequately prepare for it. Our government leaders are also not seeing or adequately preparing for the global warming extinction emergency, which is also already beginning and, will be far, far worse than the COVID-19 global pandemic emergency and the current world recession!
that our national political leaders act now before it is too late to prevent untold suffering and a mass human, animal, and biological extinction by mid-century!
2. Immediately pass enforceable and verifiable national and international laws that will successfully achieve our last chance, 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. And,
3. Order an immediate and all-out mass mobilization of ALL necessary resources and personnel to execute ALL the governmental and individual actions necessary to meet the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets and to fully resolve our current global warming emergency.
By electronically signing this petition (in the box at the bottom of the page,) I am officially petitioning my national politicians to immediately execute all three above actions to end global warming and protect and preserve humanity and life on Earth.
Furthermore, realizing that most of the worst global warming consequences will take centuries to thousands of years to repair, which will create an unthinkable nightmare for any surviving future generations, I further pledge to continue to act to help resolve this extinction threat and emergency until it is successfully resolved!
If you still have any hesitation about signing this petition, please see this page which discusses the four extinction-evoking global warming tipping points soon arriving!

Pompeii 2018: Week 2
In the W sector of the dig we excavated what we had taken to be an intact stretch of the construction fill from the foundation trench of the trachyte temple podium. This stratigraphic unit seemed to consisted of debris resulting from the in-situ finishing of the blocks (figure 1). A cavity full of lapilli can be associated with the shuttering (formworks) of the concrete substructures, which also retained the baulk of the foundation trench. The lapilli were probably redeposited from above after the post itself had decomposed. A smashed thin-walled goblet was found at the bottom of the trench, possibly in primary deposition (figure 2; video). The upper level of the fill, however, included fragments of trachyte with traces of metal clamping (figure 3). Two blocks of the bottom course of the podium showed evidence of the robbing of a lead clamp that originally joined them (figure 4). The early excavators of the site, Sogliano and Mau, had in fact debated the question of whether the temple was still under construction or already being spoliated at the time of the eruption. Another possibility is to link the finds with the ancient revisiting of the site post-79 CE to quarry and recycle building material (up to three courses of blocks on the S and E ides of the podium are missing). We'll investigate this issue further.
Finds assistant Kaoru Yui talks about the Thin-walled vessel shown in Figure 2
In addition, we continued to remove the backfill of the trenches opened in the 2006 excavations. In Trench IIN we re-exposed the levels reached previously, bringing back to light the features below the temple court. Our special thought goes to Raphaelle-Anne Kok-Merlino, who supervised the area in 2006. We remember her fondly and, by resuming activities in her sector, we hope to make her important contribution known to the public. A row of curb-stones delimits a sidewalk provided with a drain (figure 5). These structures can be clearly associated with the finds from the E part of Trench IIS in 2017: they can be interpreted as the W limit of a N-S street branching off from Via Marina (which was eventually obliterated for the construction of the sanctuary triporticus). W of the sidewalk are the visible remains of two rooms paved with cocciopesto floors. The analysis of the W sector of Trench IIS (which we reached by the end of the week) will surely provide more clues as to the nature and function of these features. Meanwhile we will expand the area, excavating another portion of the Roman-period stratigraphy of the court.
Dr. Kate Trusler from the Department of Anthropology at Mizzou came to visit the site and we look forward to collaborating with her for the study of the faunal assemblages. We also opened our doors to Prof. Rebecca Futo Kennedy and her students from Denison University for a close-up tour of the dig.
All are welcome! Feel free to contact Dr. Marcello Mogetta (mogettam@missouri.edu) or Dr. Ilaria Battiloro (ibattiloro@mta.ca) to arrange a visit.
Interactive Dig: Pompeii, Italy
VPP Staff Members
This week has been full of surprises, including unexpected finds in trenches IVN and IIS.
We made progress on all of the excavation fronts and added new data on the building phases of the sanctuary and the broader neighborhood.
Bad weather slowed us down a little, but we were able to gather important results by the end of the week.
The VPP team is back on site for its third consecutive season of study and excavation in Pompeii.

We continued recording the visible temple podium using digital photogrammetry this season and reopened more of the old trenches for documentation.

Last of Four Writing Workshops at Laval Junior Academy
Hello blog readers! I just finished up the last of four workshops at Laval Junior Academy. Today, I was in the library with Ms. Farrell's Grade Sevens and Ms. Milea's Grade Eights. Like yesterday, we focused mostly on writing exercises (since the students already know my writing tips!).
In today's pic, you may notice that I am dressed for a run -- that's because before I started the workshops, I went for a run with Ms. Farrell and Ms. Milea! (They're in the pic too!) Lucky me!
Hey, it wasn't my idea for the kids to hold some of my books -- it was their idea!
I'll start by telling you how the librarian, Ms. Venditti, told me jokingly that she has "the memory of a goldfish." I said that would make a great book title! Also, it makes me wonder -- what exactly do goldfish remember? Good book material, no?!
One exercise I tried involved starting with an ordinary moment and adding an extraordinary twist. Pravin wrote, "I am on the bus and there was a fight and the bus crashed into a tree." Great imagination, Pravin! Now add some details. Who was fighting and about what? Did the crash happen because the bus driver tried to stop the fight?
Sebastiano came up with this twist: "I'm in my living room watching the movie Batman, when the scene was over and Batman shows up." I like it, don't you?
I also asked the students to write about writing! Franco wrote, "I am tired and not in the mood for writing this morning. I'd rather be home sleeping or watching TV." Samuel wrote something which, as you will understand, was a little more to my taste: "I can't think of anything I would rather do right now."
But you know what? What Franco wrote was good too! That's because as I told the students, HONEST writing -- writing that comes from TRUE FEELINGS -- is always powerful.
Okay, thanks to the students at LJA (especially those who were on their best behavior), and to Ms. Venditti for hosting me, and to Ms. Farrell and Ms. Milea for arranging my visit -- and sharing your students with me -- and for the run!!
New Week, New Project!
"Re-hello" at Laval Junior Academy


LotusOpening News |: HAPPY BIRTHDAY Grandpa Mandela!
Anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first black president, celebrated his 91st birthday on Saturday with the launch of a special day for good deeds to be done in his name.
Surrounded by family and anti-apartheid stalwarts at his home in Johannesburg, the increasingly frail elder statesman was showered with messages of goodwill from world leaders to ordinary South Africans.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon led the international plaudits by describing Mandela as "a living embodiment of the highest values of the United Nations.
"His commitment to a democratic, multi-racial South Africa, his steadfast pursuit of justice, his willingness to reconcile with those who persecuted him most -- these are just some of the hallmarks of a remarkable man," Ban said.
The charitable foundation of the former South African leader called on people around the world to do good deeds on Saturday as it launched an official day in Mandela's honour.
"Mandela Day is an annual celebration of Nelson Mandela's life and a global call to action for people to recognize their individual power to make an imprint and change the world around them," his foundation said.
The initiative received backing from senior UN figures.
"I warmly welcome the global campaign to recognize the birthday of Nelson Mandela, July 18, as an annual opportunity to celebrate this great man and the values and principles that he has come personify over the past seven decades," said president of the UN General Assembly Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann.

BacoBurger brings gourmet burgers to your home that's great for any occasion, whether you're having house guests or just simply in the mood for a tasty burger. They are no ordinary burgers though. Their burgers are enhanced with bacon. They are formed with carefully measured ratios of quality cuts of meat with premium smoked bacon to produce juicy, succulent burgers. Knowing that, we were excited to receive some of their Classic BacoBurger Patties and Wagyu BacoBurger Patties to sample. Their 5 oz. BacoBurger Classic Patties features Prime Cut Beef, blended with Select Pennsylvania Dutch Country Smoked Bacon. Their 5 oz. Wagyu BacoBurger Patties features Wagyu Beef blended with Select Pennsylvania Dutch Country Smoked Bacon. The burgers are shipped frozen, packaged in a reusable styrofoam cooler with dry ice.
They arrive frozen but can go directly on the grill. Preheat the grill for at least 15 minutes before starting to cook. Then grill them over a hot flame (450F-500F) for 6-9 minutes each side, as recommended. The best way to know when the burger is ready is to check its internal temperature using a thermometer.
You can also thawed the burger first. We went with this option. In this case, we grilled it over a medium flame (350F-375F) for about 8 minutes each side. Let it sit for a few minutes after coming off the grill. This helps the juices redistribute evenly. Enjoy it with bun or naked over a bed of greens. The burgers were delicious, flavorful, and definitely very juicy.
BacoBurger also offers steaks, bacon-wrapped beef, chicken, and kebabs. Check them out at www.bacoburger.com.

Q: How can I call an xpath using i to increment the variable name in a for loop using Javascript? Here are my simple globals which are called by EX: this.u5boys outside of a loop.
u5boys: {
    xpath: "option[contains(text(), '5 Boys')]"
  },
  u6boys: {
    xpath: "option[contains(text(), '6 Boys')]"
  },

Here is a simple loop that will try to click on the literal string "this.u5boys" when run. how do I make it process the this.u5boys into the global xpath identifier stated above in the same file?
ctrlClick5To6Folders(){

    for(var i = 5; i < 7; i++){
      boysaction = "this.u" + i + "boys";
      I.click(boysaction);
    }

  },

How do I tell it to process the value of this.u5boys before running the I.click()function?

A:
it comes out as "this.u5boys"

And that's normal, given this:
for(var i = 5; i < 7; i++){
  boysaction = "this.u" + i + "boys";
  I.click(boysaction);
}

boysaction = "this.u" + i + "boys"; "boysaction" is just a string object in this context.
Something like this should work
for(var i = 5; i < 7; i++){
  boysaction = "this.u" + i + "boys";
  I.click(window[boysaction].xpath);//this one
  I.click(this[boysaction].xpath);//or this one
}

Here, "boysaction" is the string that represents the name of the variable available in the window context.

A: You need to use the Object.keys to get the keys and use them.
Try this:
var globals = {
  u5boys: {
    xpath: "option[contains(text(), '5 Boys')]"
  },
  u6boys: {
    xpath: "option[contains(text(), '6 Boys')]"
  }
}

Object.keys(globals).forEach((key) => console.log(globals[key].xpath));

This will print out the xpath in the console. if you want to invoke a costume function, you can do something like this:
Object.keys(globals).forEach((key) => I.click(globals[key].xpath));

And if you only want the 5th and 6th, can do something like this:
Object.keys(globals).forEach((key) => {
    if(key != "u5boys" && key != "u6boys")
        return;

    console.log(globals[key].xpath);
})

Siemens Energy awarded FPSO contract
Published by Pippa Luck, Editorial Assistant
Tanks and Terminals, Thursday, 25 March 2021 09:30
Siemens Energy has been awarded a topside EPC contract by MISC Berhad for eight complete topside modules that will provide sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly power generation, transmission, and distribution, as well as gas processing and compression aboard an FPSO that will operate offshore South America starting in 2024.
MISC Berhad is building the FPSO to expand its fleet of 14 floating production systems. The FPSO is expected to have a processing capacity of 180 000 bbl of oil and 12 million m3/d of gas.
"The order demonstrates our strengths and capabilities to transform FPSO operations to be more sustainable while fulfilling production requirements," said Thorbjoern Fors, Executive Vice President for Siemens Energy Industrial Applications.
The topside modules will be designed and manufactured across Asia, with main engineering and execution activities done through Singapore. Packaging for all the rotating equipment packages will occur at Siemens Energy's Santa Barbara d'Oeste facility in Brazil. The facility is also fully equipped to provide support and service to the FPSO's modules once it is deployed.
Siemens Energy's scope of supply includes the EPC work for all eight modules and several key components: two electric, low-pressure centrifugal compressors; two electric, CO2 compressors; three main injection compressors driven by Siemens Energy SGT-A35-GT62X gas turbines; four Siemens Energy SGT-A35-GT30 gas turbines for power generation; an E-house; plus all electricals including an electrical control and management system (ECMS).
The ECMS is being designed to provide monitoring and supervision for the power generation and distribution network for load management of the FPSO facility, including topside and marine. MISC Berhad and the FPSO operator can use the ECMS to monitor FPSO power, generate reports, and plan for future sustainability.
"Our mission is to help our partners in their energy transition by providing the equipment, infrastructure, and support to create thoughtful and sustainable change without compromising their ability to meet the world's growing energy needs," said Arja Talakar, Senior Vice President, Industrial Applications Products for Siemens Energy.

Aphelinus asychis is a parasitoid wasp native to Eurasia that was introduced to North America to control the Russian wheat aphid. It has six different aphid hosts, including Acyrthosiphon pisum.

Recent work shows that the species as currently described does not form a monophyletic group and its taxonomy and phylogenetic relationship should be re-examined.

Paralympic Sports: Archery
PARALYMPIC RESULTS
China's Zhou Jiamin tames arrows and dragons
Paralympic champion archer makes case for superhero status 16 Jul 2019
Zhou Jiamin justified her Paralympic title from Rio 2016 with her first individual World Championship gold the next year
ⒸGetty Images
By Lena Smirnova | For the IPC
"I want to be the Mother of Dragons"
China's Zhou Jiamin remains one of the best Para archers following her two gold medals at June's World Championships in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. But she still aspires for another role.
"I want to be the Mother of Dragons," said the double Paralympic champion in a nod to her favourite TV show Game of Thrones. "I could fly in the sky and that's amazing."
Drawing inspiration from watching all seasons of the popular television series and reading The Hunger Games book series, the spunky 29-year-old has turned her passion for archery into a full-time endeavor.
A hero is born
Zhou has come a long way to reach her triple world champion status.
Due to issues with her legs, Zhou was kept in hospital for a long time. She had her first surgery when she was eight months old, the second before she was five, and more surgeries to follow.
"It was really painful," Zhou said. "I still remember after the surgery my muscles would pull and the wound would be open again and it was really painful."
"When I was really young, some really not-so-nice people advised my mom to abandon me and my mom didn't do that," Zhou continued.
"My mom sacrificed for me because I am not a normal kid. I think my mom spent at least twice or three, four times more to take care of me than a normal kid."
Zhou's life took on a different trajectory when she discovered sports.
She began by playing sitting volleyball, and in 2013 she was recruited to the compound archery team. But Zhou had her growing pains.
"I liked it, but it was really exhausting," she said about arhcyer. "Sometimes in the summer, the temperature is super high and if you want to stick to it, I think you have to really like it. If you don't like it, in winter, in summer, you will feel very uncomfortable, very tired."
But Zhou stuck to training. Three years later, she made her Paralympic debut at Rio 2016 - the Games that would seal her status as China's next hero.
Lucky break
At her first Paralympic Games, Zhou felt the pressure to perform. But luck was on her side.
Zhou met a Chinese shooter on her way to the elevator on the first day of competition. Recalling that a shooting Para sport athlete won the first gold medal for China at Rio 2016, she said excitedly:
"'We were watching you at shooting. Congratulations! I know you got the first gold medal,' and [Dong Chao] said, 'It's me. Do you want to see the gold medal?' so I said, 'Can I touch it? Maybe I can get some luck?' And I was lucky."
A few days later, Zhou won her own gold medal, in the team compound open with Ai Xinliang. Her mother found out shortly after about Zhou's victory.
"She didn't believe at first," Zhou said. "The government officer called my mom and said, 'You have to go back to the house because the mayor will go to your home', and my mom was like, 'What happened?' - 'Your daughter got the gold medal.'"
A few days later Zhou landed another gold in the women's individual compound open.
Hero's path
Zhou is currently aiming for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, which could be her last.
After getting married last year, Zhou is thinking about having children. When she does, she plans to quit the sport.
"I know myself," Zhou said. "If I have kids, I really want to just stay with them."
Zhou will be defending two titles at Tokyo 2020 if she qualifies to the multi-sport event.
"I know I will be retired a few years later. It will not be much longer anymore, so I will really cherish the day I was competing," Zhou said.
Asked if she would consider dressing up as a superhero for competition, Zhou had some reservations.
"That would be super cool, but my coach would be really mad if I do this," Zhou said. "He would say, 'Are you serious?'"

We have a price-match guarantee that gives you the lowest prices and makes us one of the best places for Erie drivers to buy tires. We do more than just slap a new pair of easily affordable tires onto your vehicle, though. As a full-service tire center, we provide some extra benefits when you buy your tires from us.
And if we find out that you need some suspension work done—maybe you hit a pothole or a curb—our on-site body shop has you covered.
Those are just four of the reasons Erie drivers have made Fisher Service their tire center. But all of these benefits come with buying a new set of tires… how do you know when to buy new tires?
We can't tell you how often we hear that question here at Fisher Service. We don't have an easy answer for you, aside from "when the tread wears too thin," but just when that will happen can depend greatly on how well you take care of your tires.
Check each tire's tread depth. If the treads are ever thinner than 2/32 of an inch, you need to search for new tires.
But wait… what if you don't have a tire depth gauge? Keep a penny in your car and use it to measure the depth. The distance between the top of Lincoln's head and the edge of the penny is about 2/32 of an inch.
When you buy new tires from us, we'll take care of disposing them—we send them to a center that processes and shreds them to be used on playgrounds.
Most tires will promise 60-80,000 miles of use, but that's only if they're taken care of properly. If you don't regularly rotate your tires or if your alignment is off, they will wear unevenly, which can drastically shorten their lifespan. We're one of the best places to buy tires near Erie because we not only give you incredible rates on tires and service but because we make sure you know how to best care for your tires.
Hit a curb or a pothole? We'll inspect the toe and camber of your alignment for free.
Drive on lighter air—we'll switch out the air in your tires with pure nitrogen. With extreme fluctuations in Colorado weather during winter months, nitrogen is often a better alternative.
We refill and top off tires at no charge to you. We want your tires in top shape just as much as you do.
Whatever your tire service needs are, we want to help you out at Fisher Service. We make it a point of pride to offer outstanding tire prices near Erie, and if you don't know when to replace your tires, we'll be happy to inspect them for you.
Contact our service center today and schedule your appointment. We can't wait to serve you.

Un circuito de carreras es un camino cerrado utilizado en ciertas modalidades de automovilismo y motociclismo. Los circuitos se distinguen de los tramos de rally y de las rectas usadas en los arrancones en que el camino se recorre en círculos varias veces. Generalmente, el objetivo de una competencia en circuito es dar un determinado número de vueltas al circuito en el menor tiempo posible.

El automovilismo de velocidad, el motociclismo de velocidad, las derrapadas, el autocross, el motocross, el rallycross y el supermotard se corren exclusivamente en circuitos: de superficie pavimentada (asfalto, hormigón, cemento) en los tres primeros casos; de superficie suelta (tierra, grava, nieve, hielo) en los dos siguientes; y de superficies mixtas en los dos restantes.

Las carreras de regularidad se pueden disputar tanto en circuitos como en recorridos abiertos. Ciertos formatos de carrera de destrucción utilizan circuitos; tal es el caso del banger racing de Europa del Norte y de las carreras en ocho de Estados Unidos. Las etapas superespeciales de un rally, así como la Carrera de Campeones, se celebran en circuitos con varios carriles. Los carriles están interconectados entre sí, de manera que los pilotos giran tantas vueltas como carriles hay para completar todo el recorrido.

En una carrera de regularidad en circuito, los corredores deben girar al circuito en un tiempo lo más cerca posible al estipulado por los organizadores. En las competiciones de derrapadas, los pilotos deben conducir alrededor del circuito a la mayor velocidad pero describiendo un derrape lo más amplio posible y lo más cercano posible a los límites del trazado. En el resto de las disciplinas, los participantes deben completar una cantidad de vueltas establecida en el menor tiempo posible, o bien girar la mayor cantidad de vueltas posible en un tiempo dado.

Tipos de circuitos
Los circuitos de carreras se pueden distinguir según su superficie, localización y forma. Un circuito específicamente diseñado para competiciones se le denomina "circuito permanente", y en particular si es pavimentado se lo llama autódromo. Un circuito compuesto por calles públicas se le llama circuito callejero. Un circuito ubicado en carreteras públicas se denomina "circuito rutero". Los callejeros, los ruteros y los circuitos en aeropuertos se los llama colectivamente "circuitos semipermanentes" o "temporales".

Según la Federación Internacional del Automóvil, un circuito que tiene hasta cuatro curvas con el mismo sentido de giro se le llama óvalo. La mayoría de los óvalos se recorren en sentido antihorario, en tanto que la mayoría de los circuitos que tienen curvas a ambos lados ("circuitos mixtos") se recorren en sentido horario. Ciertos circuitos tienen forma de ocho o tienen bucles internos; esto se logra con puentes o cruces a nivel.

Partes de un circuito
Los elementos de un circuito estándar son:
 Superficie de pista: Camino por el que deben rodar los vehículos durante una carrera.
 Bordes, lomos, cordones, tumbaperros, pianos o chinos - Elevaciones sólidas colocadas en los bordes de la pista al comienzo y al final de las curvas, a veces pintadas de colores. Permiten al piloto ver las curvas con tiempo suficiente y saber dónde está el borde de la pista, además de evitar que los pilotos "corten" las curvas.
 Zonas de escape: Zonas de asfalto, gravilla, pasto, arena o "leca" colocadas a los lados del circuito, en especial alrededor de curvas peligrosas, para que en caso de que un piloto se salga de la pista, el vehículo desacelere, deje de girar y no impacte contra los objetos cercanos, y eventualmente pueda volver a incorporarse a la competición. En rectas o curvas consideradas poco peligrosas hay generalmente pasto.
 Muro de contención: Estos muros amortiguan el golpe en una colisión. Pueden estar hechos de hormigón, neumáticos, redes de contención ("catch fences") o guardarraíles.
 Parrilla de salida o grilla de partida: Zona donde los vehículos se colocan en la largada de una competencia. Los vehículos forman filas intercaladas detrás de la línea de partida/llegada. La posición de partida depende de los tiempos de clasificación, la posición de llegada de carreras anteriores o de la posición del campeonato; los pilotos con las mejores marcas largan delante.
 Boxes, pits o garajes: Zona donde los equipos de mecánicos preparan y arreglan los vehículos y planifican la competición. Generalmente están colocados paralelos a la recta principal del circuito, y se unen a la pista por un camino de entrada y salida de boxes. En algunas competiciones, los pilotos pueden entrar a los boxes para reparar el vehículo, cambiar las ruedas y llenar el depósito de combustible.
 Gradas: Zona alrededor de la pista donde el público puede ver la competición. Pueden ser lomas naturales o tribunas, y la gente se puede parar o sentar.

Tipos de curvas
Entre las partes que forman el trazado en sí, además de las rectas, hay distintos tipos de curvas. Habiendo infinitas posibilidades de diseñar una curva, éstas se pueden clasificar en:
 Curvas "tradicionales": Obligan a los pilotos a desacelerar. En este caso se excluye las curvas en las que no se necesita desacelerar ni doblar fuertemente.
 Curvas rápidas o "curvones": Un curvón es una curva larga, relativamente cerrada y rápida. Exige que el chasis sea resistente a las fuerzas a las que está sometido, y que el motor sea lo suficientemente potente, podemos mencionar por ejemplo el curvón de Salotto del Autódromo de Buenos Aires, en Argentina.
 Curvas dobles o múltiples: Una curva doble son dos curvas hacia el mismo lado, lo suficientemente cercanas como para que apenas se pueda acelerar entre ellas. Ello hace que el radio de giro del vehículo sea casi constante, porque en el medio de las curvas se acerca al lado interno, y en la pequeña recta en el exterior. En algunos circuitos modernos hay curvas triples o cuádruples, como en el Circuito de Estambul de Turquía.
 Horquillas o Curvas en U: Se denomina horquilla a una curva extremadamente cerrada, que supera aproximadamente los 150º. Si está ubicada al final de una recta larga, es un buen lugar para adelantar a otros competidores,como la curva Le Source del circuito de Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps en Bélgica.
 Chicanas o chicanes: Una "chicana" es una combinación de curvas cerradas muy cercanas entre sí. Generalmente son entre dos o cuatro curvas cortas, cada una con sentido de giro opuesto a la anterior. En muchos circuitos construidos hace varias décadas, los problemas de seguridad causados por la alta velocidad de circulación han sido solucionados mediante chicanas. Muchos pilotos y fanáticos de circuitos históricos han criticado esto por "cortar" el ritmo de circulación, por convertir en "amados y temidos curvones" en curvas amplias pero extremadamente lentas, un caso se puede citar el Autodromo Nazionale di Monza en Italia.
 Eses: Una ese (o simplemente "S") es una combinación de dos curvas relativamente rápidas y cercanas, una de ellas hacia la izquierda y la otra hacia la derecha, como también sucede en la llamada S de Senna en el Autódromo José Carlos Pace en Brasil.
