Within the era of scientifically accepted 'we are the cause of climate change and global warming' and its inevitable consequences, can we afford new and further exploitation of fossil fuels?
"The world possesses the tools and technology needed to reduce carbon emissions, build a more sustainable economy and end our reliance on fossil fuels."
www.huffingtonpost.com/jimmy-carter/climate-change-who-wi...
Currently Wales and the UK are awash with a tied of new fossil fuel exploitation, shale gas, coal bed methane and new open cast coal mines. So often cited as bridging too renewables, or replacing imported fossil fuels.
13 April 2014: IPCC PRESS RELEASE
Greenhouse gas emissions accelerate despite reduction efforts.
"Scenarios show that to have a likely chance of limiting the increase in global mean temperature to two degrees Celsius, means lowering global greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 70 percent compared with 2010 by mid-century, and to near-zero by the end of this century. Ambitious mitigation may even require removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere."
ipcc.ch/pdf/ar5/pr_wg3/20140413_pr_pc_wg3_en.pdf
All of this new fossil fuel development will bridge to renewables, pay for it, not distract from it? Does our governance seem like they are leading the way to mitigating climate change, are we a shinning example to others countries to follow suit?
Doesn't a global bullet need to be bitten within a short time scale, or is the bullet simply being deflecting for future generations to deal with, and its real impact?

Is this what the outside world thinks that people with disabilities are? Reduced Fare? Anyone at anytime may have to enter into the portal of "Reduced Fare"- whether it be baggage that is too big, or a bike that doesn't fit through the normal entrance. Becuase of the harshness system, many people with disabilities have to rely on T.A.P. subway passes (governmental assistance) because they don't have enough money to purchase regular passes and therefore at some stations can only enter in through the Reduced Fare Entrance. What stigma there is in the outside world.

What an excellent day! Besides a so-boring-it's-not-even-right class, the day was fantastic! 1) We got our recycle bin delivered and 2) I got to see Beth Moore!
I guess you'd describe Beth Moore in this context as a motivational Christian speaker, but moreso with a Scripture message leading her talk. Our Wednesday night B-stud has done her Daniel study, and she's great!! I loved it and I was so glad I got to go. And, I got to meet Heidi's Mom and have a sleepover with Emily's Mom and her friend Ally and her mom. Really happy fun night :)
Pilot Ed Hamill.
The Dream Machine is a factory built biplane designed and first built by Curtis Pitts over fifty years ago. This biplane design was inspired and modeled after the very first airplane designs, including two wings, fly wires and fabric covering. This design can be seen in aerobatic competitions today as well as airshows all over the world. The biplane design captures the true romance of what airshows are all about.
The Dream Machine can be changed from one seat to two seat configuration by swapping the canopies. The transformation can be made rather quickly, allowing for more versatility for both airshow performances and media rides. The single place canopy improves the performance by reducing drag and increasing the acceleration. Aside from a handheld GPS used for cross country flights, the instruments are your basic airspeed, altitude and engine monitoring gauges. The overall design and mission of this beautiful machine is purely stick and rudder skydancing.

Whole Vegetarian for life doing my huge part to reduce green house gases every time I eat! The most simple choice you can do at your next meal. :)
I was amazed, but UN says livestock production causes MORE green house gases than ALL Transportation *combined*.
Read the UN Food and Agriculture Org's summary then go great a great tasting vegetarian meal, save the world, and save your health as a bonus! :)

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by Reims Cathedral. Note the damage to the Cathedral in the background.
Reims Cathedral in the Great War
The Cathedral was reduced to a roofless shell by the 287 explosive and incendiary shells that rained on it during the course of the Great War.
A Poem by Grace Conkling
Grace Hazard Conkling (1878-1958) wrote a poem about Reims Cathedral in 1914:
'A wingèd death has smitten dumb thy bells,
And poured them molten from thy tragic towers:
Now are the windows dust that were thy flowers
Patterned like frost, petalled like asphodels.
Gone are the angels and the archangels,
The saints, the little lamb above thy door,
The shepherd Christ! They are not, any more,
Save in the soul where exiled beauty dwells.
But who has heard within thy vaulted gloom
That old divine insistence of the sea,
When music flows along the sculptured stone
In tides of prayer, for him thy windows bloom'.
Like faithful sunset, warm immortally!
Thy bells live on, and Heaven is in their tone!'
In fact the bells of Reims Cathedral did not melt, although they did fall. The solidified pools of metal on the floor of the Cathedral actually came from the covering of lead on the roof which had melted when the wooden structure blazed from end to end.
Molten lead also flowed from the medieval stained glass windows, and poured through the gargoyles designed to channel rain from the roof. The gargoyles were not designed for the roof itself to pour out of them.
Reims Cathedral Before the Great War

Rouen Cathedral
If Grace had wanted to write about bells which really did melt, she could have waited another 30 years and written about Rouen Cathedral. This was bombed by the Germans in the Second World War, leading inter alia to a fire in the medieval north tower containing the famous bells.
The tower acted as a chimney for the extensive woodwork inside to burn and create very high temperatures - sufficient to calcify the ancient stonework and leave pools of molten bell metal at the base of the tower.

The Use of Artillery in the Great War
Artillery was very heavily used by both sides during the Great War. The British fired over 170 million artillery rounds of all types, weighing more than 5 million tons - that's an average of around 70 pounds (32 kilos) per shell.
With an average length of two feet, that number of shells if laid end to end would stretch for 64,394 miles (103,632 kilometres). That's over two and a half times round the Earth. If the artillery of the Central Powers of Germany and its allies is factored in, the figure can be doubled to 5 encirclements of the planet.
During the first two weeks of the Third Battle of Ypres, over 4 million rounds were fired at a cost of over £22,000,000 - a huge sum of money, especially over a century ago.
Artillery was the killer and maimer of the war of attrition.
According to Dennis Winter's book 'Death's Men' three quarters of battle casualties were caused by artillery rounds. According to John Keegan ('The Face of Battle') casualties were:
- Bayonets - less than 1%
- Bullets - 30%
- Artillery and Bombs - 70%
Keegan suggests however that the ratio changed during advances, when massed men walking line-abreast with little protection across no-man's land were no match for for rifles and fortified machine gun emplacements.
Many artillery shells fired during the Great War failed to explode. Drake Goodman provides the following information on Flickr:
"During World War I, an estimated one tonne of explosives was fired for every square metre of territory on the Western front. As many as one in every three shells fired did not detonate. In the Ypres Salient alone, an estimated 300 million projectiles that the British and the German forces fired at each other were "duds", and most of them have not been recovered."
To this day, large quantities of Great War matériel are discovered on a regular basis. Many shells from the Great War were left buried in the mud, and often come to the surface during ploughing and land development.
For example, on the Somme battlefields in 2009 there were 1,025 interventions, unearthing over 6,000 pieces of ammunition weighing 44 tons.
Artillery shells may or may not still be live with explosive or gas, so the bomb disposal squad, of the Civilian Security of the Somme, dispose of them.
The Somme Times
From 'The Somme Times', Monday, 31 July, 1916:
'There was a young girl of the Somme,
Who sat on a number five bomb,
She thought 'twas a dud 'un,
But it went off sudden -
Her exit she made with aplomb!'
(not the original colors)Something I made to enter in a notebook cover contest.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to submit it.
Originally, the colors were never like this. They weren't as bright. But because I had to change the format, the colors changed.
