Sometime this century the day will arrive when the human influence on the climate will overwhelm all other natural factors. Over the past decade, the world has seen the most powerful El Niño ever recorded, the most devastating hurricane in two hundred years, the hottest European summer on record (which killed twenty-six thousand people in two months), the first South Atlantic hurricane ever, and one of the worst storm seasons ever experienced in Florida. With one out of every five living things on this planet committed to extinction by the levels of greenhouse gases that will accumulate in the next few decades, we are reaching a global climatic tipping point. Originally somewhat of a global warming skeptic, Tim Flannery spent several years researching the topic. Along with a riveting history of how climate change has shaped our planet’s evolution, Flannery offers specific suggestions for action for both lawmakers and individuals, from investing in renewable power sources like wind, solar, and geothermal energy, to offering an action plan with steps each and every one of us can take right now to reduce deadly CO2 emissions by as much as 70 percent. ©2006 Microsoft Corporation.

This article is from International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health , volume 8 . Abstract Current public health strategies, policies, and measures are being modified to enhance current health protection to climate-sensitive health outcomes. These modifications are critical to decrease vulnerability to climate variability, but do not necessarily increase resilience to future (and different) weather patterns. Communities resilient to the health risks of climate change anticipate risks; reduce vulnerability to those risks; prepare for and respond quickly and effectively to threats; and recover faster, with increased capacity to prepare for and respond to the next threat. Increasing resilience includes top-down (e.g., strengthening and maintaining disaster risk management programs) and bottom-up (e.g., increasing social capital) measures, and focuses not only on the risks presented by climate change but also on the underlying socioeconomic, geographic, and other vulnerabilities that affect the extent and magnitude of impacts. Three examples are discussed of public health programs designed for other purposes that provide opportunities for increasing the capacity of communities to avoid, prepare for, and effectively respond to the health risks of extreme weather and climate events. Incorporating elements of adaptive management into public health practice, including a strong and explicit focus on iteratively managing risks, will increase effective management of climate change risks.

In this second episode of season 4 of Direct Current, we dive into a topic that's been in the news a lot lately: extreme weather. While intense storms have splashed across headlines throughout history, the frequency seems to be increasing. Interviews with Colin Zarzycki, an Assistant Professor at Penn State University, and Alan Rhoades, a research scientist with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, help us explain how climate modeling is helping scientists predict what may lie ahead.

The Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center (MCMWTC) has been in operation for over 50 years, but the Marine Corps still lacks a coherent program to train and equip Marines for operations in mountainous and cold weather (MCW) environments. Moreover, no unifying training program exists for employing a Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) in such environments. In light of these circumstances and the likelihood for future MCW operations, the Marine Corps must reevaluate the way that it conducts MCW training. To take full advantage of the MCMWTC in preparing units for deployment to MCW environments, commanders must approach the center as a venue to conduct training rather than a place to be trained. The deficiencies in the current approach to MCW training can be divided into the general categories of failing to identify operational requirements, training the elements of the MAGTF independently, failing to train all of the warfighting functions, and utilizing the MCMWTC ineffectively. Only a commander who possesses a thorough understanding of the tasks his unit faces will be able to construct a training program that addresses those needs. The MCMWTC staff can provide the technical expertise required to survive the environment, but only the commander can prepare his unit for MCW operations by conducting mission-specific training in realistic conditions. Identifying and overcoming the challenges to MCW training is only the first step in overcoming the enemy. Recognizing the likelihood of future conflict in MCW environments, commanders must develop creative solutions to train the MAGTF for MCW operations within current constraints.

An album completed the summer before I went off to college, this album supplies a surprisingly extensive and colorful account of my mental processes all through high school. It's not a rock opera (thank goodness), but it is a 'suite' of sorts. Some of the music reflects my obsession with Steve Reich at the time... but it is still very much rock music. The "hits" off the album are Breaking Free and The Places We Belong... The former got up to number 5 on the indie charts at http://www.soundclick.com (I really doubt that means much, but it was fun, yah?). The latter is a goofy graduation song of sorts... bittersweetness. I really like Far and Wide a lot! (please write reviews)

1History of England, from the Accession of James II - (Volume 1, Chapter 05)

By Thomas Babington Macaulay

This chapter of Macaulay’s History of England is concerned, for a large part, with insurrection against James II and his manoeuverings to suppress these. Argyle has been sheltering in Holland and returns to raise an army against James. Although brave and quick witted, he was no leader of men and the army became a confused rabble and were dispersed. Argyle was captured and died bravely. Monmouth had also been sheltering in Holland and he landed at Lyme and declared himself king on 20th June 1685. He was defeated at the battle of Sedgemoor and eventually caught and executed. Monmouth is a fine romantic and of course ultimately tragic figure. The chapter comes to an end with the Bloody Assizes and the very bloody Judge Jeffries.<br />Summary by Jim Mowatt

2History of England, from the Accession of James II - (Volume 1, Chapter 01)

By Thomas Babington Macaulay

This is chapter 1 of volume 1 of a series of books written by the Baron Macaulay in the 19th century. It starts with a brief resume of the history of England up until the Stuart kings and then starts to delve into a little more detail. Macaulay is primarily fascinated by ending of any claim to divine right of kings and the growing role of Parliament in the governing of the country. He sees the accession of William and Mary (Dutch, Protestant royalty) to the British throne as a key moment in the history of the British Isles. This is a book delightful for the literary gifts of the author and intriguing for his view of 18th century English and world politics. (Summary by Jim Mowatt)

3History of England, from the Accession of James II - (Volume 1, Chapter 02)

By Thomas Babington Macaulay

This is the second chapter of Thomas Babington Macaulay’s History of England from the Succession of James II.<br><br>In this chapter we see the restoration of the House of Stuart. The mood of the people sours toward the Roundheads, Army and, of course the Puritans. An examination of the character of Charles II. We see Charles attempting to recruit assistance from France so he can attain absolute monarchy and so emulate Lewis the Fourteenth, the French Sun King. <br>(Summary by Jim Mowatt)

4History of England, from the Accession of James II - (Volume 1, Chapter 03)

By Thomas Babington Macaulay

This is the third chapter in Macaulay’s great History of England from the Accession of James II. In this chapter Macaulay looks at the state of the nation in 1685. He discusses the population, the revenue, the military system, the roads, the inns, the coaches, the great cities and, of course London, its coffee houses and first experiments in street lighting. An interesting diversion from Macaulays’s usual obsession with politics but worry not, he still manages to crowbar some political intriguing into this chapter. <br>(Summary by Jim Mowatt)

5History of England, from the Accession of James II - (Volume 1, Chapter 04)

By Thomas Babington Macaulay

This chapter is a bit of a mixture. It begins with the death of Charles II and then goes on to James II. Judge Jeffries then makes an appearance in a riot of slapstick absurdity when viewed from so far away. Although, at the time of the ‘Bloody Assizes’ he will have been much feared and hated by many.There are more to-and fro-ings in the Houses of Parliament. The Scots Covenanters make an appearance, and Dangerfield and Oates get their come-uppance. Macaulay paints the mid to late 17th century in a mad effervescence of colour. <br>Summary by Jim Mowatt

6History of England, from the Accession of James II - (Volume 2, Chapter 06)

By Thomas Babington Macaulay

This chapter starts from about 1685. James is on the throne and, as ever, there are disputes between crown and Parliament. We see the Habeus Corpus Act introduced, the persecution of the Huguenots and troubles in Ireland. <br>Summary by Jim Mowatt

7History of England, from the Accession of James II - (Volume 2, Chapter 07)

By Thomas Babington Macaulay

This chapter begins with a description of William, Prince of Orange – his early life, personality, and political policies. It goes on to describe, among other things, the Declaration of Indulgence, an early step towards establishing religious freedom in England, and the popular reaction to it. (Summary by Leon Mire)

8History of England, from the Accession of James II - (Volume 2, Chapter 08)

By Thomas Babington Macaulay

In this chapter of Thomas Babington Macaulay’s History of England we see conflict between James II and his subjects. James is Catholic but rules a Protestant country. There are some serious stand-offs with colleges at Oxford and Cambridge plus conflict with the London clergy. – Summary by Jim Mowatt

9History of England, from the Accession of James II - (Volume 2, Chapter 09)

By Thomas Babington Macaulay

This is chapter 9 of Thomas Babington Macaulay’s History of England from the accession of James II. This chapter covers part of the invasion of England by William, the Dutch Stadtholder, later William III of England. – Summary by Jim Mowatt

10History of England, from the Accession of James II - (Volume 2, Chapter 10)

By Thomas Babington Macaulay

This chapter begins with the flight of James II and then moves on to the downfall of Judge Jeffreys and the arrival of Dutch troops in London. James flees again and we see the establishment of the Jacobean court in France at Saint Germains. The chapter ends with the crowning of William and Mary. – Summary by Jim Mowatt

11History of England, from the Accession of James II - (Volume 3, Chapter 11)

By Thomas Babington Macaulay

In chapter 11 William and Mary have been crowned and settle down to the task of ruling England. An endless succession of British noblemen jockey for position and all feel frustration at Williams’ preference for his own countrymen in positions of responsibility in the British government and armed forces.

12History of England, from the Accession of James II - (Volume 3, Chapter 12)

By Thomas Babington Macaulay

Much of this chapter is taken up with the affairs of Ireland during the reign of James II. The Protestants and Catholics are having their usual disagreements and James is putting his pieces in place in an attempt to use the Irish to consolidate his own rather shaky position.

13History of England, from the Accession of James II - (Volume 3, Chapter 13)

By Thomas Babington Macaulay

This chapter traces the history of the Glorious Revolution in Scotland, including the reaction of the country's religious parties, the installment of William and Mary, and the campaigns of the Highland Army. (Summary by Leon Mire)

14History of England, from the Accession of James II - (Volume 3, Chapter 14)

By Thomas Babington Macaulay

This is volume 3 chapter 14 of a series of books written by the Baron Macaulay in the 19th century. It starts with a brief resume of the history of England up until the Stuart kings and then starts to delve into a little more detail. Macaulay is primarily fascinated by ending of any claim to divine right of kings and the growing role of Parliament in the governing of the country.

This is a book delightful for the literary gifts of the author and intriguing for his view of 18th century English and world politics. (Jim Mowatt)<br /><br /> This volume covers various 17th century events including a military campaign in Ireland and the Church of England oath-swearing controversy, in which some clergymen refused to swear an oath to King William and Queen Mary required by the crown (Karen Merline)

LibriVox volunteers bring you 8 recordings of The Last Buccaneer by Thomas Babbington Macaulay. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 4th, 2009.

The Lays of Ancient Rome comprise four narrative poems comprised by Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay: recalling popular episodes from Roman historical-legends that were strongly moral in tone: exemplifying Roman virtue against Latine perfidy.<br> The four poems are:<br><br> - Horatius - Horatius and two companions seek to hold back a large invading Etruscan force at the far end of a bridge over the Tiber River. The trio are willing to lay down their lives so as to prevent the Etruscans crossing and sacking the otherwise ill-defended Rome: it is a desperate gamble to buy enough time for the Romans to destroy the bridge in advance of the hostile army. But will their efforts succeed?<br><br> - The Battle of Lake Regillus - The Romans take arms against the powerful Latine league headed by the expelled Tarquin nobles. The fighting is desperate and bloody: the event is decided only after the arrival upon the battlefield of the twin gods Castor and Pollux.<br><br> - Virginia - Virginia is the daughter of Virginius - a poor, honest Roman farmer-citizen. In former years Virginius enlisted as a legionary and shed his blood to fight Rome's enemies: now Virginius - like other Romans of the humbler sort - suffer the usurious exactions of noblemen like the wicked Appius Claudius. Appius Claudius uses spurious legal means to take possession of Virginia as his "runaway slave": action guaranteed to succeed given the incumbent corrupt magistracy. So what can Virginius do? To what extremes is the father forced to protect his only child?<br><br> - The Prophecy of Capys - Romulus and Remus return triumphant to the home of their grandfather Capys. When they arrive, Capys - blind and well advanced in years - is seized by a prophetic frenzy: Capys declaims a series of portents describing the future battles and victories destined as the lot of Romulus' descendants.<br> (Introduction by Godsend)

He sees the accession of William and Mary (Dutch, Protestant royalty) to the British throne as a key moment in the history of the British Isles. This is a book delightful for the literary gifts of the author and intriguing for his view of 18th century English and world politics. (Jim Mowatt)

25History of England, from the Accession of James II - (Volume 5, Chapter 23)

By Thomas Babington Macaulay

This is volume 5 chapter 23 of a series of books written by the Baron Macaulay (1800-1859) and published after his death. To quote from the preface - 'I HAVE thought it right to publish that portion of the continuation of the "History of England" which was fairly transcribed and revised by Lord Macaulay. It is given to the world precisely as it was left: no connecting link has been added; no reference verified; no authority sought for or examined. It would indeed have been possible, with the help I might have obtained from his friends, to have supplied much that is wanting; but I preferred, and I believe the public will prefer, that the last thoughts of the great mind passed away from among us should be preserved sacred from any touch but his own. Besides the revised manuscript, a few pages containing the first rough sketch of the last two months of William's reign are all that is left. From this I have with some difficulty deciphered the account of the death of William. No attempt has been made to join it on to the preceding part, or to supply the corrections which would have been given by the improving hand of the author. But, imperfect as it must be, I believe it will be received with pleasure and interest as a fit conclusion to the life of his great hero.'
