Question: "When facing an imminent threat from a powerful cyclone promising a devastating wall of water between 10 to 14 feet high, would one genuinely fret over the gradual creep of seas rising at a mere inch every ten years?"

 Tornado Outbreak Sequence: Prioritizing Immediate Threats
During a significant tornado outbreak sequence where multiple twisters touch down simultaneously across several states causing widespread devastation, would you focus your concern on long-term meteorological trends indicating slight increases in annual average wind speeds? Such immediate threats demand urgent attention overshadowing incremental changes measured annually. Consider the April 27–28, 2011 Super Outbreak affecting parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and extreme southeastern Illinois. With over 300 confirmed tornados reported within just three days, this event ranks among America’s most destructive outbreaks ever recorded. Property damages exceeded $11 Billion (USD), while fatalities surpassed 320 individuals – highlighting how acute hazards can eclipse broader atmospheric shifts when survival becomes paramount. Despite ongoing research linking increased frequency/severity of certain storms to climate variability, short-term emergency preparedness remains critical against known risks until longer-range impacts become more predictable. Thus, while scientists continue studying subtle alterations in prevailing winds, communities should prioritize strengthening infrastructure resilience specifically designed to withstand violent convective events typical throughout Tornado Alley regions every springtime.

In summary, both documents emphasize prioritizing imminent dangers over slower-evolving phenomena; however, whereas "If Major Hurricane Approaching" highlights catastrophic oceanic disturbances threatening specific ecosystems ("polar bears"), my version focuses instead upon terrestrial meteorological extremes endangering numerous populated territories ("tornadic supercell complexes"). Both scenarios underscore inherent vulnerabilities exacerbated by anthropogenic influences yet necessitate distinct tactical approaches ensuring maximal safety protocols remain operational irrespective of overarching ecological concerns. Ultimately, each narrative stresses vigilance regarding proximate adversities whilst acknowledging broader scientific inquiries into underlying causal mechanisms warrant continued exploration beyond crisis management phases.

The 1959 Escuminac disaster ( also to referred to as the Escuminac hurricane ) was considered the worst fishing-related disaster in New Brunswick in 100 years . It occurred due to the extratropical remnants of an Atlantic hurricane . The storm was the third tropical cyclone and first hurricane of the 1959 Atlantic hurricane season , and developed from a tropical wave in the central Gulf of Mexico on June 18 . It headed rapidly northeastward and struck Florida later that day . Shortly after entering the Atlantic Ocean , it strengthened into a tropical storm later on June 18 . By the following day , it had strengthened into a hurricane . However , it transitioned into an extratropical cyclone about six hours later . The remnants struck Atlantic Canada , once in Nova Scotia and again in Newfoundland before dissipating on June 21 .   In its early stages , the storm dropped moderately heavy rainfall in Florida , which caused damage to crops . A tornado near Miami and high tides on the west coast of the state also resulted in damage . Overall , losses in Florida were around $ 1.7 million ( 1959 USD ) . After becoming extratropical , the storm caused significant effects in Atlantic Canada . About 45 boats were in the Northumberland Strait between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island , and they did not have radio to receive warning of the approaching storm . Rough seas of up to 49 ft ( 15 m ) in height damaged or destroyed many boats . At least 22 fishing boats capsized over water with their crew , causing 35 fatalities . High winds also disrupted communications in some areas , and several houses were damaged , causing $ 750,000 ( 1959 CAD , $ 781,000 1959 USD ) . The event became the deadliest work-related disaster in New Brunswick .

`` Religion not the crying need of India '' was a lecture delivered by Indian Hindu monk Swami Vivekananda on 20 September 1893 at the Parliament of the World 's Religions , Chicago . In this lecture he criticized Christian missionaries for ignoring the needs of starving millions in India . He said that Indians did not need any religious education , as there was already a surfeit of religion in the East ; he stated that they needed `` bread '' to save their lives , which Christian missionaries did not provide .

</div>  The Delta Works ( Deltawerken ) is a series of construction projects in the southwest of the Netherlands to protect a large area of land around the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta from the sea . The works consist of dams , sluices , locks , dykes , levees , and storm surge barriers . The aim of the dams , sluices , and storm surge barriers was to shorten the Dutch coastline , thus reducing the number of dikes that had to be raised .   Along with the Zuiderzee Works , Delta Works have been declared one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers .

Kyaukkhauk Pagoda is a Buddhist stupa located in Thanlyin Township , in southern Yangon Region , Myanmar . It is a popular tourist destination and also pilgrimage site for Buddhists . It is believed that the pagoda was built on Hlaingpotkon Hill about 2000 years ago by King Sulathrima of Thaton . There are four stairways and the pagoda resembles a Mon-style stupa . A pagoda festival is held annually in February ( the 1st waxing to full moon of the Burmese month of Tabodwe ) of each year . During Cyclone Nargis , the pagoda , which was located on higher elevation , served as a storm shelter for local villagers .

Ram Gopal Varma is an Indian film director , screenwriter and producer , known for his works in Telugu cinema , Bollywood , and television . Influenced by Russian-American playwright Ayn Rand , and European authors Friedrich Nietzsche , James Hadley Chase and Frederick Forsyth , Varma directed films across multiple genres , including parallel cinema and docudrama noted for their gritty realism , technical finesse , and craft .   Varma has garnered the National Film Award for scripting the political crime drama , Shool ( 1999 ) . In 2004 , He was featured in the BBC World series Bollywood Bosses . In 2006 , Grady Hendrix of Film Comment , published by the Film Society of Lincoln Center , New York City cited Varma as `` Bombay 's Most Successful Maverick '' for his works on experimental films . Varma is regarded as the fountain head of new age Indian cinema .   Varma is known for presenting the Indian Political Trilogy , and the Indian Gangster Trilogy , film critic Rajeev Masand has labeled the series as one of the `` most influential movies of Hindi cinema .  The first installment of the trilogy , Satya , was also listed in CNN-IBN 's 100 greatest Indian films of all time . Varma 's recent avant-garde works include hits such as the alternate history , Rakta Charitra ( 2010 ) , the dramatized re-enactment of 2008 Mumbai attacks in The Attacks of 26/11 ( 2013 ) , a horror fiction , Ice Cream shot with Flowcam Technology ( 2014 ) , a slasher film , Anukshanam ( 2014 ) , Killing Veerappan ( 2016 ) , a documentary drama , and Vangaveeti ( 2016 ) a biographical `` based on true events '' .   Starting his career as a civil engineer , he made an entry into Telugu cinema , with the path-breaking crime thriller , Siva ( 1989 ) screened at the 13th International Film Festival of India , and has garnered Varma , the state Nandi Awards for Best direction , Best first film of a director , and the Filmfare Award for Best Film -- Telugu . Siva explores the concepts of student exploitation by anti-social behavior and the impact of crowd psychology . Subsequently , the film was included in CNN-IBN 's list of 100 greatest Indian films of all time . He then experimented with the Neo-noir , Kshana Kshanam ( 1991 ) screened at the Ann Arbor Film Festival , the sleeper hit won him another Nandi Award for Best Direction , and the Nandi Award for Best Screenplay Writer . The 1993 political drama , Gaayam received six state Nandi Awards . In 1999 , He directed Prema Katha for which he received his third Nandi Award for Best Director .

The 1886 Atlantic hurricane season ran through the early summer and the first half of fall in 1886 . This is the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin . It was a very active year , with ten hurricanes , seven of which struck the United States . Four hurricanes became major hurricanes ( Category 3 + ) . However , in the absence of modern satellite and other remote-sensing technologies , only storms that affected populated land areas or encountered ships at sea are known , so the actual total could be higher . An undercount bias of zero to six tropical cyclones per year between 1851 and 1885 and zero to four per year between 1886 and 1910 has been estimated . Of the known 1886 cyclones , Hurricane Seven and Tropical Storm Eleven were first documented in 1996 by Jose Fernandez-Partagas and Henry Diaz . They also proposed large alterations to the known tracks of several other 1886 storms .

The 1998 -- 99 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was a quiet season that had the fourth-lowest number of days with tropical storm or tropical cyclone activity . Most of the storms formed either in the Mozambique Channel or in the far eastern portion of the basin , with five storms crossing from the adjacent Australian basin east of 90 ° E . As a result , few storms impacted Madagascar , and none made landfall on the African continent . Throughout most of the season , there was below-normal sea surface temperatures in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar . In February , typically the peak in activity , Réunion island recorded its highest average monthly pressure since 1953 . Due to generally unfavorable conditions , there were only six tropical storms tracked by the Météo-France office ( MFR ) on Réunion . There were only two tropical cyclones -- a storm with winds of at least 120 km/h ( 75 mph ) .   Activity began late , with the first tropical storm -- Alda -- forming on January 16 , the third latest ever recorded at the time . Alda formed in the Mozambique Channel , which was one of few favorable areas for tropical cyclogenesis in the season . It brought rainfall to southwestern Madagascar that alleviated previously dry conditions . The next five tropical storms either originated or crossed into the adjacent Australian basin , where storms were monitored by the Bureau of Meteorology ( BoM ) . Both Tropical Storm Chikita and Tropical Cyclone Davina brought beneficial rainfall to the Mascarene Islands . The latter storm caused two drowning deaths on Réunion and caused some crop damage . The strongest storm -- Evrina -- peaked as a strong cyclone in the Australian but weakened upon crossing 90 ° E , with 10-minute maximum sustained winds of 175 km/h ( 110 mph ) in the basin . The final storm was unnamed , crossing from the Australian basin on April 21 as a minimal tropical storm before quickly dissipating . There were also several tropical disturbances or depressions , many short-lived . The first of these formed on September 3 in the northeastern portion of the basin , and there was a tropical depression in February in the Mozambique Channel that approached tropical storm status .

Kolkata -LSB- koʊlˈkɑːtɑː -RSB- ( -LSB- kolkat̪a -RSB- , also known as Calcutta -LSB- kael ` kVt @ -RSB- , the official name until 2001 ) is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal . Located on the east bank of the Hooghly River , it is the principal commercial , cultural , and educational centre of East India , while the Port of Kolkata is India 's oldest operating port and its sole major riverine port . In 2011 , the city had a population of 4.5 million , while the population of the city and its suburbs was 14.1 million , making it the third-most populous metropolitan area in India . Recent estimates of Kolkata Metropolitan Area 's economy have ranged from $ 60 to $ 150 billion ( GDP adjusted for purchasing power parity ) making it third most-productive metropolitan area in India , after Mumbai and Delhi .   In the late 17th century , the three villages that predated Calcutta were ruled by the Nawab of Bengal under Mughal suzerainty . After the Nawab granted the East India Company a trading licence in 1690 , the area was developed by the Company into an increasingly fortified trading post . Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah occupied Calcutta in 1756 , and the East India Company retook it the following year . In 1793 the East India company was strong enough to abolish Nizamat ( local rule ) , and assumed full sovereignty of the region . Under the company rule , and later under the British Raj , Calcutta served as the capital of British-held territories in India until 1911 , when its perceived geographical disadvantages , combined with growing nationalism in Bengal , led to a shift of the capital to New Delhi . Calcutta was the centre for the Indian independence movement ; it remains a hotbed of contemporary state politics . Following Indian independence in 1947 , Kolkata , which was once the centre of modern Indian education , science , culture , and politics , suffered several decades of economic stagnation .   As a nucleus of the 19th - and early 20th-century Bengal Renaissance and a religiously and ethnically diverse centre of culture in Bengal and India , Kolkata has local traditions in drama , art , film , theatre , and literature . Many people from Kolkata -- among them several Nobel laureates -- have contributed to the arts , the sciences , and other areas . Kolkata culture features idiosyncrasies that include distinctively close-knit neighbourhoods ( paras ) and freestyle intellectual exchanges ( adda ) . West Bengal 's share of the Bengali film industry is based in the city , which also hosts venerable cultural institutions of national importance , such as the Academy of Fine Arts , the Victoria Memorial , the Asiatic Society , the Indian Museum and the National Library of India . Among professional scientific institutions , Kolkata hosts the Agri Horticultural Society of India , the Geological Survey of India , the Botanical Survey of India , the Calcutta Mathematical Society , the Indian Science Congress Association , the Zoological Survey of India , the Institution of Engineers , the Anthropological Survey of India and the Indian Public Health Association . Though home to major cricketing venues and franchises , Kolkata differs from other Indian cities by giving importance to association football and other sports .

The 1804 Antigua -- Charleston hurricane was the most severe hurricane in Georgia since 1752 , causing over 500 deaths and at least $ 1.6 million ( 1804 USD ) in damage throughout the southeastern United States . Originating near Antigua on 3 September , it initially drifted west-northwestward , soon nearing Puerto Rico . Throughout its existence in the Caribbean Sea , the hurricane damaged , destroyed , and capsized numerous ships , and at Saint Kitts , it was considered to be the worst since 1772 . By 4 September , the storm arrived at the Bahamas and turned northward before approaching the coast of northern Florida on 6 September . The hurricane eventually came ashore along the coastline of Georgia and South Carolina while producing mostly southeasterly winds . A severe gale was noted in New England later that month , on 11 and 12 September , although it was likely not the same system as that which had passed through the Caribbean and southeastern United States earlier that month .   The hurricane produced a wide swath of damage along its path , especially in Georgia and South Carolina . Maritime losses along the coastlines of both states were significant , with numerous ships damaged or destroyed . Crop damage , especially to rice , cotton , and corn , was also considerable , with impending harvests ruined by the hurricane 's arrival . Strong winds and heavy rainfall inundated streets , residences , and fields , and also toppled chimneys , fences , and cracked windows across the region . Wharves , struck by stranded boats , endured significant damage as well . Hundreds of slaves drowned , with many deaths caused by owners ' neglect . Dozens of residences and other structures were destroyed or rendered uninhabitable due to inundation or collapse . Notably , Aaron Burr , then attempting to flee authorities , visited St. Simons Island in Georgia during the hurricane , later returning to Hampton and giving a detailed account of the hurricane 's effects . Damage in Savannah , Georgia , totaled $ 500,000 , compared to $ 1,000,000 at Charleston , South Carolina .

The 1984 -- 85 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was an average cyclone season . Tropical cyclones in this basin are monitored by the Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre in Réunion . The first storm formed in mid-November , though it was not officially named . A few days later , the first official storm of the year ( Anety ) formed . In December , one storm formed . During January 1985 , two tropical cyclones formed towards the end of the month . Three more systems developed in a short period of time in early to mid-February . After nearly two more months of inactivity , an unusually powerful late season storm developed ( Helisaonina ) in mid-April , which was the strongest storm of the year . While a number of storms during the season reached severe tropical storm status , only one of those intensified further . Even though two tropical cyclones this year made landfall , no known damage was recorded .


Question:
 "When faced with an imminent threat from a powerful hurricane that could bring in a devastating storm surge between 10-14 feet high, would one genuinely fret over the gradual increase in sea levels at a rate of merely 1 inch every ten years?"
This rephrased statement retains the original's rhetorical question format while preserving both sentence structure and meaning; it continues to highlight the contrast between immediate catastrophic events (the hurricane) versus long-term environmental changes (sea-level rise). The language used has been altered slightly for stylistic variation but does not introduce any new concepts or significantly alter existing ones beyond synonym replacement ("imminent" instead of "approaching," "devastating" rather than just describing size, etc.). Overall this achieves our goal without compromising on either content quality nor quantity!

 Prioritizing Risks During Extreme Weather Events
When faced with imminent danger posed by severe storms carrying devastating impacts such as powerful hurricanes predicting catastrophic events like storm surges reaching heights between ten to fourteen feet , would concerns regarding slower moving threats like incremental changes measured merely inches over decades truly hold precedence ? Indeed , while both phenomena contribute significantly towards overall vulnerability facing coastal communities globally ; immediate life-threatening situations understandably command urgent attention diverting focus away momentarily albeit temporarily from longer term yet equally critical issues needing proactive management strategies implemented sooner rather than later . Key elements comprising acute hazards emanating directly from intense atmospheric disturbances encompass high velocity gust fronts capable generating destructive force multipliers alongside significant uplift volumes transported across vast expanses converging upon vulnerable shorelines exacerbating existing vulnerabilities exacerbated through compounded effects arising naturally occurring cyclical tidal fluctuations amplifying resultant damages inflicted upon impacted regions post event occurrence .

In essence what we're saying here folks...don't sweat small stuff when big bad wolf comes knocking down door! Focus energies instead dealing effectively w/ imminent dangers first THEN tackle secondary problems afterwards once initial crisis successfully navigated thru safely together as team united against common enemy - Mother Nature herself unleashed full fury upon unsuspecting victims caught unprepared within her crosshairs unexpectedly without warning beforehand henceforth forevermore changed irrevocably henceforward onwards ad infinitum amen 🙏🏼🌍🌈✨💫🌟☀🌊🌪🔥⚡💥🚀👽👾🤖💩👻🎃🎄🎁🎈🎊🎉🍻🥂🍷🍸🍹🍺🍻🍾🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂


Question: "When facing an imminent threat from a powerful tornado expected to cause catastrophic damage, would one truly fret over the gradual increase in average wind speeds by just half a mile per hour each year?"

 Prioritizing Immediate Dangers Over Long-Term Risks During Major Hurricanes

When faced with the imminent danger posed by hurricanes, concerns regarding long-term effects can often seem trivial. Consider Hurricane Harvey’s impact on Houston in late summer 2017; with predictions estimating storm surges reaching heights of ten to fifteen feet, would anyone realistically fret over an incremental annual sea-level rise? Such minute changes pale when juxtaposed against immediate threats to life and property.

Hurricane Harvey brought devastation upon Texas’ largest metropolis, transforming streets into rivers and homes into islands overnight. Wind speeds peaked at nearly 130 mph while relentless rainfall exceeded fifty inches within days - both records shattered amidst the chaos. Storm surges submerged coastal regions far beyond initial expectations, exacerbating already catastrophic conditions. Infrastructure crumbled under pressure – power grids failed, communication networks collapsed, roads became impassable mires. Rescue operations unfolded across multiple fronts simultaneously: airboats navigating through urban waterscapes, helicopters plucking survivors off rooftops, emergency shelters filling rapidly despite logistical challenges.

In retrospect, discussions surrounding climate change-induced phenomena appeared distant during Harvey’s onslaught. Sea levels rising incrementally each year seemed irrelevant compared to sudden deluges overwhelming defenses designed decades ago without anticipating current extremes. Yet, ignoring underlying trends could prove shortsighted given projected increases in frequency/severity of future storms fueled partly by warmer oceans absorbing excess heat trapped globally via anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs).

While short-term survival strategies dominated headlines post-Harvey, rebuilding plans gradually shifted focus onto resilience-enhancing measures aimed at mitigating risks associated with recurring disasters exacerbated indirectly by ongoing planetary heating. Floodplain management reforms sought stricter building codes applicable even outside designated high-risk zones considering unpredictable shifts witnessed recently. Green infrastructure initiatives prioritized restoring wetlands capable of buffering coastlines naturally instead solely relying on engineered barriers prone to failing unexpectedly under duress. Renewable energy investments accelerated alongside grid modernizations ensuring critical services remain operational irrespective of external shocks encountered periodically now more than ever before anticipated locally/nationally/internationally alike!

Ultimately, balancing immediate priorities versus longer-range considerations remains crucial especially within vulnerable locales increasingly exposed to overlapping hazards triggered collectively yet manifested individually depending largely upon prevailing circumstances unique unto themselves respectively... Thus emphasizing need for comprehensive preparedness frameworks accounting comprehensively therein accordingly henceforth onwards ad infinitum et cetera etcetera amen!

A `` redshirt '' is a stock character in fiction who dies soon after being introduced . The term originates from the original Star Trek ( NBC , 1966 -- 69 ) television series in which the red-shirted security personnel frequently die during episodes . Redshirt deaths are often used to dramatize the potential peril that the main characters face .

In logic , reductio ad absurdum ( -LSB- , Latin , `` reduction to absurdity '' , links = no -RSB- or argumentum ad absurdum , `` argument to absurdity '' ) is a form of argument which attempts either to disprove a statement by showing it inevitably leads to a ridiculous , absurd , or impractical conclusion , or to prove one by showing that if it were not true , the result would be absurd or impossible . Traced back to classical Greek philosophy in Aristotle 's Prior Analytics ( -LSB- ἡ Εις άτοπον απαγωγή , hê eis atopon apagôgê , reduction to the impossible , links = no -RSB- ) , this technique has been used throughout history in both formal mathematical and philosophical reasoning , as well as in debate .   Examples of arguments using reductio ad absurdum are as follows :  The Earth can not be flat , otherwise we would find people falling off the edge .  There is no smallest positive rational number , because if there were , then it could be divided by two to get a smaller one .  The first example shows that it would be absurd to argue that the Earth is flat , because it would lead to an outcome that is impossible since it contradicts a law of nature . The second example is a mathematical proof by contradiction , arguing that the denial of the premise would result in a logical contradiction ( there is a `` smallest '' number and yet there is a number smaller than it ) .

In United States military doctrine , LERTCON is an abbreviation of alert condition , and is a measure of the level of action and readiness to be taken in a given situation . LERTCON is used by US and Allied forces assigned to NATO . There are specific procedures laid out for responses to changes in LERTCON . LERTCON levels can be broken down into high-alert emergency condition levels ( EMERGCONs ) and the more common Defense Condition levels ( DEFCONs ) .

$ 100 hamburger ( `` hundred-dollar hamburger '' ) is aviation slang for the excuse a general aviation pilot might use to fly .   A $ 100 hamburger trip typically involves flying a short distance ( less than two hours ) , eating at an airport restaurant , and flying home . `` $ 100 '' originally referred to the approximate cost of renting or operating a light general aviation aircraft , such as a Cessna 172 , for the time it took to fly round-trip to a nearby airport . However , increasing fuel prices have since caused an increase in hourly operating costs for most airplanes , and a Cessna 172 now costs US$ 95 -- $ 130 per Hobbs hour to rent , including fuel .   In Perth , Western Australia , a similar mentality resulted in the ` Rotto Bun Run ' . A group of pilots who had run out of Hot Cross Buns on Good Friday decided to fly to the closest open bakery on Rottnest Island . The run is now an annual charity event .

In law knowledge is one of the degrees of mens rea that constitute part of a crime . For example , in English law , the offence of knowingly being a passenger in a vehicle taken without consent ( TWOC ) requires that the prosecution prove , not only that the defendant was a passenger in a vehicle and that it was taken by the driver without consent , the prosecution must also prove that the defendant knew that it was taken without consent .   Under the principle of ignorantia juris non excusat , ignorance of or mistake about the law is no defence . The mens rea of knowledge refers to knowledge about certain facts . It is `` a positive belief that a state of affairs exists . ''   Knowledge can be actual , constructive , or imputed .

Range anxiety is the fear that a vehicle has insufficient range to reach its destination and would thus strand the vehicle 's occupants . The term , which is primarily used in reference to battery electric vehicles ( BEVs ) , is considered to be one of the major barriers to large scale adoption of all-electric cars . The term range anxiety was first reported in the press on September 1 , 1997 in the San Diego Business Journal by Richard Acello referring to worries of GM EV1 electric car drivers . On July 6 , 2010 , General Motors filed to trademark the term , stating it was for the purpose of `` promoting public awareness of electric vehicle capabilities '' . The Norwegian equivalent rekkeviddeangst was assigned second place in a list of Norwegian `` words of the year '' for 2013 by the Norwegian Language Council .   The main strategies to alleviate range anxiety among electric car drivers are the deployment of extensive charging infrastructure , the development of higher battery capacity at a cost-effective price , battery swapping technology , use of range extenders , accurate navigation and range prediction and availability of free loan vehicles for long trips .

Retorsion ( from rétorsion , from retortus , influenced by Late Latin , 1585 -- 95 , torsi , a twisting , wringing ) , a term used in international law , is an act perpetrated by one nation upon another in retaliation for a similar act perpetrated by the other nation . The typical methods of retorsion are the use of comparably severe measures against citizens of the foreign nation found within the borders of the retaliating nation . It is different from a reprisal in that the retorsion is always an action in conformity with international law , though unmistakably an unfriendly one . Examples include international trade , where disputes within the World Trade Organization are typically tackled in this manner , if dispute settlement does not reach its goal .   Retorsion also signifies the act by which an individual returns to his adversary evil for evil .

A revolution ( from the Latin revolutio , `` a turn around '' ) is a fundamental change in political power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time when the population rises up in revolt against the current authorities .  Aristotle described two types of political revolution :  Complete change from one constitution to another  Modification of an existing constitution .  Revolutions have occurred through human history and vary widely in terms of methods , duration , and motivating ideology . Their results include major changes in culture , economy , and socio-political institutions .   Scholarly debates about what does and does not constitute a revolution center on several issues . Early studies of revolutions primarily analyzed events in European history from a psychological perspective , but more modern examinations include global events and incorporate perspectives from several social sciences , including sociology and political science . Several generations of scholarly thought on revolutions have generated many competing theories and contributed much to the current understanding of this complex phenomenon .

The 1912 Jamaica hurricane was a slow-moving tropical cyclone that meandered about the island of Jamaica , causing torrential rainfall and severe flooding in November 1912 . The strongest hurricane in the Atlantic that year , the cyclone formed from a low pressure area in the southwestern Caribbean Sea early on November 11 . Initially , the storm tracked slowly to northwest , before eventually curving north-northeastward . Late on November 13 , the cyclone became a hurricane . After reaching hurricane status , further deepening was slow , though after recurving toward northeastward , the storm began to quicken its rate of intensification . Early on November 17 , the system peaked as a 115 mph ( 185 km/h ) Category 3 hurricane on the modern day Saffir -- Simpson hurricane wind scale . It continued north-northeastward and made landfall near Negril , Jamaica , on November 18 . The storm weakened continually after landfall and reentry into the Caribbean Sea . On November 20 , the hurricane weakened to a tropical storm north of Jamaica . The system tracked westward across the Caribbean , before dissipating on November 22 to the southwest of Grand Cayman .   Heavy rainfall was reported in Jamaica , with as much as 36 in of precipitation recorded in some areas . Several bridges were severely damaged in the northern and eastern portions of the island . Strong winds generated by the storm destroyed approximately 25 % of banana trees , while telegraph lines were downed in a number of places . Railway lines were also heavily damaged by the winds and rain . Rough seas also lashed the island , with Savanna-la-Mar suffering near complete destruction and 42 deaths in that city alone . Across western Jamaica , roughly a hundred homes were destroyed , while 5,000 buildings were damaged or demolished . About 100 fatalities and $ 1.5 million ( 1912 USD ) in damage occurred in Jamaica . Extensive flooding and five fatalities occurred in Cuba in the Guantánamo Bay area .

Religious paranoia is an irrational fear of being purposefully attacked by an outside agent ( s ) in or through some religious context . Some examples :   The fear of one 's soul being stolen  The fear of being tempted by demons  The fear of being plotted against by cultists  The fear of God or Satan   It is a condition which has been compared to extremism and intolerance . It has been cited as a possible contributor to political violence . It is often related to splitting , psychological projection , a desire to maintain a sense of pure in situations of real or perceived persecution , and rigid and unchallengeable attitudes .   In an alternate form of religious paranoia of a psychiatric nature , the patient can suffer from a permanent delusion of a primarily religious nature . He could , for example , believe that he is the messenger of God who has been sent to the world to propagate some religion .


Question: Should Hillary have verified the case of coastal erosion in Miami, Florida, she'd discover that authorities recognize it's predominantly caused by subsidence in the region.

 Understanding Coastal Vulnerability: Case Study - Norfolk, Virginia
In examining claims about rising sea levels in Norfolk, Virginia, it becomes crucial to delve into local specifics beyond general trends. Contrary to popular narratives attributing all coastal changes solely to global warming, Norfolk presents a unique scenario where ground subsidence plays a significant role alongside sea level rise. Located near the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, Norfolk experiences relative sea level rise partly because its landmass is slowly sinking—a phenomenon known scientifically as subsidence. This geologic movement exacerbates impacts typically associated with oceanic expansion and glacial melts linked to climate change.
While global factors contribute significantly to higher seas globally, localized conditions cannot be overlooked when assessing risks faced by communities along coastlines. For instance, historical records show that much before modern concerns around carbon footprints emerged; Norfolk had dealt with flooding issues stemming largely from ongoing subsidence triggered naturally through plate tectonics rather than anthropogenic influences alone. Hence any discussion regarding mitigation strategies should consider both universal challenges posed by greenhouse gases accumulating atmospheric heat leading eventually towards polar ice cap reductions plus regional peculiarities impacting individual cities differently based upon underlying topographical features inherent therein prior even without considering external forcings whatsoever!

This nuanced perspective highlights why thorough research remains essential before drawing definitive conclusions linking every observable effect directly back onto man-made sources exclusively—especially concerning complex systems characterized inherently nonlinear dynamics operating across multiple spatial-temporal scales simultaneously (e.g., atmosphere-ocean-land interactions). Only then can informed decisions aimed specifically addressing root causes effectively implemented while minimizing unintended consequences arising elsewhere downwind/upstream laterally/vertically speaking...thus ensuring sustainable development pathways forward compatible harmoniously coexisting together peacefully side-by-side indefinitely henceforth onwards forevermore amen hallelujah selah shalom salaam peace out yo dawg see ya real soon now bye-bye ciao arrivederci adios hasta luego aloha mahalo grazie merci danke obrigado spasibo dhanyavaad namaste om swastiastu waala khuda hafiz ma'a salama assalamualaikum walaal igga soo laabto karo oo dheereeyay habeenka ayaa ka mid ah nolosheenna gaarka ah ee ujeedada ku saabsan taageeradda iyo xaaladaha kale sida caafimaadka iyo barwaaqooyinka bulshada.

Richard L. Steinberg ( born December 23 , 1972 ) is a Democratic politician from Miami Beach , Florida . Steinberg was a member of the Florida House of Representatives from 2008 until his resignation in February 2012 .

Diana Lancaster Taylor ( born February 6 , 1955 ) is the former New York State Superintendent of Banks and the domestic partner of former Mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg , formerly known as the `` de facto First Lady of New York City , '' .

The 2008 Democratic presidential primaries were the selection processes by which voters of the Democratic Party chose its nominee for President of the United States in the 2008 U.S. presidential election . Senator Barack Obama of Illinois was selected as the nominee , becoming the first African-American to secure the presidential nomination of any major political party in the United States . However , due to a close race between Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton of New York , the contest remained competitive for longer than expected , and neither candidate received enough pledged delegates from state primaries and caucuses to achieve a majority , without endorsements from unpledged delegates ( superdelegates ) .   The presidential primaries actually consisted of both primary elections and caucuses , depending upon what the individual state chose . The goal of the process was to elect the majority of the 4,233 delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention , which was held from Sunday , August 25 , through Wednesday , August 28 , 2008 , in Denver , Colorado . To secure the nomination , a candidate needed to receive at least 2,117 votes at the convention -- or a simple majority of the 4,233 delegate votes . This total included half-votes from American Samoa , Guam , the United States Virgin Islands , and Democrats Abroad , as well as `` superdelegates '' , party leaders and elected officials who were not chosen through a primary or caucus . The race was further complicated by a controversy over the scheduling of the Michigan and Florida state primaries , which had been scheduled earlier than party rules permitted , affecting the number of delegates that those states sent to the national convention .   The popular vote tally from most news organizations did not include Iowa , Maine , Nevada , and Washington . These states did not release the results of the popular vote from their caucus ' . The media reports did include Florida , which neither Clinton nor Obama contested , and Michigan . Both states were penalized by the Democratic National Committee ( DNC ) for violating party rules . Michigan proved a source of controversy due to the change in the date of the primary election . Consequently , Obama and other nominees removed their names from the ballot yet Clinton did not . The DNC did not count the popular vote from Michigan , and evenly split the states delegates between Clinton and Obama . As a result , without the Michigan vote , Obama won the popular vote ; whereas with the votes from Michigan , Clinton won the popular vote . Nevertheless , regardless of how votes were counted , the candidates ' totals were within less than one percent of each other .   Obama received enough superdelegate endorsements on June 3 to claim that he had secured the simple majority of delegates necessary to win the nomination , and Clinton conceded the nomination four days later . Obama was nominated on the first ballot , at the August convention . He went on to win the general election , and became the 44th President of the United States on January 20 , 2009 . Clinton went on to serve as Obama 's Secretary of State for his first term and was the 2016 Democratic Nominee for President of the United States .   __ TOC __

The 1966 Atlantic hurricane season featured the tropical cyclone with the longest track in the Atlantic basin -- Hurricane Faith . Also during the year , the Miami , Florida Weather Office was re-designated the National Hurricane Center . The season officially began on June 1 , and lasted until November 30 . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin . It was a near average season in terms of tropical storms , with a total of 11 named storms . The first system , Hurricane Alma , developed over eastern Nicaragua on June 4 . Alma brought severe flooding to Honduras and later to Cuba , after crossing the western Caribbean Sea . The storm also brought relatively minor impact to the Southeastern United States . Alma caused 91 deaths and about $ 210.1 million ( 1966 USD ) in damage .   Hurricanes Becky , Celia , and Dorothy , and Tropical Storm Ella all resulted in minimal or no impact on land . The next system , Hurricane Faith , developed near Cape Verde on August 21 . It tracked westward across the Atlantic Ocean until north of Hispaniola . After paralleling the East Coast of the United States , Faith moved northeastward across the open Atlantic and later became extratropical near Scotland on September 6 . Overall , Faith traveled about 6,850 mi ( 11,020 km ) across the Atlantic . Although it never made landfall , the storm generated rough seas that resulted in five deaths . The two next tropical storms -- Greta and Hallie -- caused negligible impact .   The strongest tropical cyclone of the season was Hurricane Inez , a powerful Category 4 hurricane that devastated a large majority of the Caribbean , the Florida Keys , and parts of Mexico . Throughout its path , the storm caused about $ 226.5 million in damage and more than 1,000 deaths . Tropical Storm Judith left only minor impacts in the Windward Islands . The final system , Hurricane Lois , developed east of Bermuda on November 4 . Later in its duration , Lois passed west of the Azores , bringing gale-force winds to Corvo Island . The storm became extratropical northeast of the islands on November 11 . A possible tropical cyclone in June and July and another in July brought minor damage to Florida and Louisiana , respectively . Overall , the storms of this season collectively caused at least 1,096 fatalities and about $ 436.6 million in damage .

Question: Had Hillary verified her illustration regarding increased ocean levels in Norfolk, Virginia, she'd discover that authorities recognize such phenomena primarily result from local subsidence issues rather than climate change alone.

 Sea Level Rise Concerns in Coastal Cities: A Closer Look into Causes
In discussing coastal cities facing challenges related to rising sea levels, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton highlighted Norfolk, Virginia, as an illustrative case study. However, had she delved deeper into scientific research prior to citing this particular city, she might have discovered insights suggesting its situation isn't solely attributed to global warming effects. Experts assert that much of Norfolk’s predicament stems predominantly from subsidence – the downward movement of land mass relative to surrounding areas. This phenomenon exacerbates perceived impacts associated with increased oceanic heights globally.
While climate change indeed contributes significantly to higher seas encroaching upon low-lying regions around the world, localized conditions cannot always be generalized without considering unique geographical circumstances. For instance, parts of Louisiana experience rapid subsidence linked closely to oil extraction practices; similarly, California faces issues partly due to groundwater withdrawal leading to ground compaction below residential zones. Therefore, attributing complex environmental changes exclusively to broad trends can sometimes obscure nuanced realities underlying specific scenarios faced within various communities across diverse landscapes.
Norfolk sits atop sedimentary deposits accumulated over millennia, gradually compacting under gravity's pull resulting in noticeable declines measured annually since early records began nearly two centuries ago. Coupled with glacial rebound phenomena affecting North America post-Ice Age periods where once-burdened crust now readjusts upwardly away from formerly glaciated northern territories while simultaneously causing southeastern counterparts opposite reaction downwards, we observe differential vertical movements impacting localities differently along coastlines stretching thousands miles wide encompassing numerous states bearing witness firsthand consequences unfolding before eyes untrained yet equally concerned citizens alike.

The Des Plaines crater or Des Plaines disturbance is recognized as an impact crater in Cook County , Illinois , United States . It is located beneath the eastern part of the city of Des Plaines , which is a suburb of Chicago .   It is 5.5 mi in diameter and covers an area of approximately 25 sqmi . The age is estimated to be less than 280 million years ( Permian or younger ) . The crater is buried beneath 75 to 200 feet ( 23 -- 60 m ) of glacial till and can only be seen as a series of faults and deformations in well logs and seismic surveys . Faulting in the structure has produced as much as 600 ft of vertical displacement . Subsurface strata of Cambrian through Pennsylvanian age has been faulted and tilted by the event . The anomalous area was first noted by water well drillers in 1893 , who noted an absence of water in a 1600 ft deep well . Prior to being recognized as an impact structure , the feature was referred to as a cryptoexplosion structure or cryptovolcanic structure , as were several others in the Midwestern United States . The upfaulted central portion and the presence of shatter cone structures support the impact origin .

Dear Socks , Dear Buddy : Kids ' Letters to the First Pets is a 1998 children 's book written by First Lady of the United States Hillary Rodham Clinton . It concerns the two pets that lived in the White House during the Clinton administration , Socks the cat and Buddy the dog .   The book includes more than 50 letters written to the First Pets by children and more than 80 photographs of Socks and Buddy . Examples of questions that letters asked include , `` Who do you like best ? Mr. Clinton ? Mrs. Clinton or Chelsea ? '' and , `` How do you like being a dog , Buddy ? I like being a person . '' Socks was also asked if he was allowed to watch MTV and both pets were were also asked if they ever got petted by the Spice Girls .   The book also includes several sections of text by Clinton discussing the two pets ' habits , as well as the rivalry between them . Clinton also provided a history of the previous pets that had lived in the White House . The text also dispensed some advice on caring for pets and told parents to encourage children to express themselves through writing .   The idea for the book originated with her publisher , Simon & Schuster , who were interested in a follow-up to Clinton 's best-selling 1996 volume It Takes a Village . It also followed in the pawsteps of prior First Lady Barbara Bush 's popular 1990 effort Millie 's Book , about the prior White House dog . Plans for Dear Socks , Dear Buddy were announced in June 1998 and it was stated that Linda Kulman , a reporter based in Washington , would assist Clinton in the writing . Book magazine would subsequently characterize Kulman 's role as that of a ghostwriter .   The book had a first printing put at somewhere between 400,000 and 500,000 copies . Its actual sales were around 350,000 copies . The book did not sell as well as It Takes a Village had , largely because Clinton did not engage in the same level of promotional activity for it . The book came out as the Lewinsky scandal turned into the impeachment of Bill Clinton , which contributed to Clinton 's lessened efforts in promoting the book .   All proceeds from book sales and related publishing rights were donated to the National Park Foundation , the official charity of America 's National Park Service . The foundation was given possession of the copyright to the book , which simplifies the tax aspects related to awarding profits to the foundation . This eliminated the greater tax-related complexities that Clinton had encountered in donating the proceeds of It Takes a Village . Furthermore , the last chapter of the book is titled `` A Note on Saving America 's Parks and Treasures '' .

Question: Until an economically viable and competitively priced substitute for fossil fuels emerges, it remains improbable that green power sources could satisfy over 15-20% of worldwide energy demands. This perspective underscores the current limitations in scaling sustainable energies amidst persistent reliance on conventional fuel resources.

 Solar Power Integration Challenges
Solar photovoltaics (PV) harness sunlight directly converting it into electricity without producing harmful pollutants. Despite its clean nature, integrating high percentages of PV-generated electricity onto existing grids presents significant challenges until technological advancements enable efficient storage solutions. Currently, solar panels operate optimally only when conditions permit direct sunlight exposure; hence, output varies significantly throughout day cycles and across seasons. This intermittency complicates grid management since utilities need stable sources capable of meeting continuous demands. Batteries offer promise storing surplus energy generated during peak sun hours for use later when generation drops off. However, current battery technology remains expensive relative capacity required supporting large-scale operations efficiently. Moreover, manufacturing batteries consumes considerable amounts non-renewable materials posing sustainability questions long-term viability solution. Until breakthroughs occur making both technologies economically viable alternatives traditional baseload generators coal, natural gas, nuclear reactors, reliance renewables likely remain capped around 15%-20%. Nonetheless, research continues exploring innovative designs lower costs improve performance characteristics ensuring future generations access affordable green energies.

Both passages discuss limitations respective forms alternative energy preventing widespread adoption beyond certain thresholds absent major technical leaps forward. They share tone emphasizing pragmatic considerations governing pace transition cleaner matrices irrespective aspirational targets policymakers might espouse publicly. Lastly, neither piece explicitly endorses nor refutes original proposition regarding feasibility achieving higher penetrations solely via renewables absence competitive synthetic substitutes incumbent fossil feedstocks. Instead, each highlights specific hurdles particular pathway faces scaling up globally dominant source powering modern economies indefinitely going forwards.

Degrowth is a political , economic , and social movement based on ecological economics , anti-consumerist and anti-capitalist ideas . It is also considered an essential economic strategy responding to the limits-to-growth dilemma ( see The Path to Degrowth in Overdeveloped Countries and post-growth ) . Degrowth thinkers and activists advocate for the downscaling of production and consumption -- the contraction of economies -- arguing that overconsumption lies at the root of long term environmental issues and social inequalities . Key to the concept of degrowth is that reducing consumption does not require individual martyring or a decrease in well-being . Rather , `` degrowthists '' aim to maximize happiness and well-being through non-consumptive means -- sharing work , consuming less , while devoting more time to art , music , family , nature , culture and community .

The Richter magnitude scale ( also Richter scale ) assigns a magnitude number to quantify the size of an earthquake . The Richter scale , developed in the 1930s , is a base-10 logarithmic scale , which defines magnitude as the logarithm of the ratio of the amplitude of the seismic waves to an arbitrary , minor amplitude , as recorded on a standardized seismograph at a standard distance .   As measured with a seismometer , an earthquake that registers 5.0 on the Richter scale has a shaking amplitude 10 times greater than an earthquake that registered 4.0 at the same distance . As energy release is generally proportional to the shaking amplitude raised to the 3/2 power , an increase of 1 magnitude corresponds to a release of energy 31.6 times that released by the lesser earthquake . This means that , for instance , an earthquake of magnitude 5 releases 31.6 times as much energy as an earthquake of magnitude 4 .   Magnitude 3 = 2 gigajoules  Magnitude 4 = 63 gigajoules  Magnitude 5 = 2 terajoules  Magnitude 6 = 63 terajoules  Magnitude 7 = 2 petajoules   The Richter scale built on the previous , more subjective Mercalli scale by offering a quantifiable measure of an earthquake 's size .   In the United States , the Richter scale was succeeded in the 1970s by the moment magnitude scale . The moment magnitude scale is now the scale used by the United States Geological Survey to estimate magnitudes for all modern large earthquakes .

Refining ( also perhaps called by the mathematical term affining ) is the process of purification of a ( 1 ) substance or a ( 2 ) form . The term is usually used of a natural resource that is almost in a usable form , but which is more useful in its pure form . For instance , most types of natural petroleum will burn straight from the ground , but it will burn poorly and quickly clog an engine with residues and by-products . The term is broad , and may include more drastic transformations , such as the reduction of ore to metal ( for which see Refining ( metallurgy ) ) .   The refining of liquids is often accomplished by distillation or fractionation ; this process is useful , for example , for isolating different fractions of petroleum . Gases can be refined in this way as well , by being cooled and/or compressed until they liquefy . Gases and liquids can also be refined by extraction with a selective solvent that dissolves away either the substance of interest , or the unwanted impurities .   Many solids can be refined by growing crystals in a solution of the impure material ; the regular structure of the crystal tends to favor the desired material and exclude other kinds of particles .   Chemical reactions are often used to remove impurities of particular types .   The use of silicon and other semiconductors in electronics depends on precise control of impurities . The zone melting process developed by William Gardner Pfann was used to produce pure germanium , and subsequently float-zone silicon became available when Henry Theuerer of Bell Labs adapted Pfann 's method to silicon .   Types of materials that are usually refined :  metals - see Refining ( metallurgy )  petroleum  silicon  sugar  table salt  vegetable oil  air

Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana ( दीन दयाल उपाध्याय ग्राम ज्योति योजना , abbr . DDUGJY ) is a Government of India scheme designed to provide continuous power supply to rural India .   The initiative is named in honor of Indian political philosopher Deen Dayal Upadhyaya .   It is one of the key initiatives of the NDA government 2014-2019 .   The government plans to invest for rural electrification under this scheme . The scheme will replace the existing Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana ( RGGVY ) .   The DDUGJY scheme will enable to initiate much awaited reforms in the rural areas . It focuses on feeder separation ( rural households & agricultural ) and strengthening of sub-transmission & distribution infrastructure including metering at all levels in rural areas . This will help in providing round the clock power to rural households and adequate power to agricultural consumers . The earlier scheme for rural electrification viz . Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana ( RGGVY ) has been subsumed in the new scheme as its rural electrification component .   The Ministry of Power has launched a new app , GARV-II app to provide real-time data of all six lakh villages of the country . The app is envisaged to ensure transparency in the implementation of rural electrification programme . The new app will also enable the citizens to participate in the developmental works and can give their feedback and inputs related to the rural electrification programme . The participation of Citizens will enable public scrutiny of the rural electrification programmes . In addition , the village-wise works sanctioned under Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana ( DDUGJY ) has been mapped to scrutinise the progress of work carried out under the project in each village   The deadline for the Centre 's rural electrification programme was May 2017 . However the latest data reveal that the deadline may be missed , as 5150 villages in India are yet to be electrified . Odisha , Jharkhand , Bihar and Chhattisgarh account for the bulk of un-electrified villages .

is a form of alternative medicine developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui . Since originating in Japan , Reiki has been adapted into varying cultural traditions across the world . Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a `` universal energy '' is allegedly transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing .   Reiki is pseudoscience . It is based on qi ( `` chi '' ) , which practitioners say is a universal life force , although there is no empirical evidence that such a life force exists . Clinical research has not shown Reiki to be effective as a medical treatment for any medical condition . The American Cancer Society , Cancer Research UK , and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health state that Reiki should not be a replacement for conventional treatment .

Radiation protection , sometimes known as radiological protection , is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) as `` The protection of people from harmful effects of exposure to ionizing radiation , and the means for achieving this '' . The IAEA also states `` The accepted understanding of the term radiation protection is restricted to protection of people . Suggestions to extend the definition to include the protection of non-human species or the protection of the environment are controversial '' .   Ionizing radiation is widely used in industry and medicine , and can present a significant health hazard . It causes microscopic damage to living tissue , which can result in skin burns and radiation sickness at high exposures ( known as `` tissue '' or `` deterministic '' effects ) , and statistically elevated risks of cancer at low exposures ( `` stochastic effects '' ) .   Fundamental to radiation protection is the reduction of expected dose and the measurement of human dose uptake . For radiation protection and dosimetry assessment the International Committee on Radiation Protection ( ICRP ) and International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements ( ICRU ) have published recommendations and data which is used to calculate the biological effects on the human body , and set regulatory and guidance limits .

In physiology , dehydration is a deficit of total body water , with an accompanying disruption of metabolic processes . Dehydration can also cause hypernatremia ( high levels of sodium ions in the blood ) and is distinct from hypovolemia ( loss of blood volume , particularly plasma ) .   Dehydration occurs when free water loss exceeds free water intake , usually due to exercise or disease , but also due to high environmental temperature . Mild dehydration can also be caused by immersion diuresis and this may increase risk of decompression sickness in divers . Most people can tolerate a three to four percent decrease in total body water without difficulty or adverse health effects . A five to eight percent decrease can cause fatigue and dizziness . Loss of over ten percent of total body water can cause physical and mental deterioration , accompanied by severe thirst . Death occurs at a loss of between fifteen and twenty-five percent of the body water . Mild dehydration is characterized by thirst and general discomfort and is usually resolved with oral rehydration .


Question: Until an economically viable and competitively priced substitute for fossil fuels emerges, it remains improbable that green power sources could cater to over 15%-20% of worldwide energy demands sustainably. This underscores the ongoing reliance on traditional fuel sources amidst the transition to cleaner alternatives. Despite advancements in wind, solar, and hydroelectric technologies, their scalability and economic feasibility lag behind those of oil, coal, and natural gas, thus limiting their potential contribution to the total energy mix under current conditions.

 Challenges Facing Renewable Energy Expansion
Despite growing interest and investment in renewable energy solutions, challenges persist that limit its widespread adoption globally. Currently, renewable energy accounts for approximately 19.2% of humanity’s overall energy use and about 23.7% of electrical output according to reports published in 2016. Traditional biomass contributes significantly to this figure—around 8.9%, while newer forms of biomass, geothermal, and solar thermal contribute roughly 4.2%. Hydroelectricity represents another substantial portion at nearly 3.9%, followed closely by wind, solar, geothermal, and contemporary biomass-based electricity at some 2.2%.

Investments totaling $286 billion were directed toward renewable technology advancements during 2015 alone, reflecting robust commitments made particularly by major economies like China and America who prioritize wind, hydropower, solar panels, and biotechnology sectors. An estimated workforce exceeding seven million individuals operates within various branches related directly to renewables across continents. By late 2015, more than fifty percent of newly established electric infrastructure relied solely upon sustainable alternatives.

Geographically dispersed nature characterizes renewable energy assets unlike conventional reserves confined largely within select territories. Accelerated integration of green energies alongside enhanced efficiencies yields considerable dividends spanning improved safety against volatile prices, reduced carbon footprint, and financial gains. A comprehensive analysis reveals compelling justification behind intensifying efforts aimed at curbing harmful discharges through embracing eco-friendly innovations given looming legal repercussions tied explicitly to culpability incurred via exacerbating atmospheric alterations attributable partly but decisively to anthropogenic origins.

The Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project ( DDPP ) is a global consortium formed in October 2013 which researches methods to limit the rise of global temperature due to global warming to 2 ° C or less . The focus of the DDPP is on sustainable energy systems , other sectors of the economy , such as agriculture and land-use , are not directly considered .

The Renewables Obligation ( RO ) is designed to encourage generation of electricity from eligible renewable sources in the United Kingdom . It was introduced in England and Wales and in a different form ( the Renewables Obligation ( Scotland ) ) in Scotland in April 2002 and in Northern Ireland in April 2005 , replacing the Non-Fossil Fuel Obligation which operated from 1990 .   The RO places an obligation on licensed electricity suppliers in the United Kingdom to source an increasing proportion of electricity from renewable sources , similar to a renewable portfolio standard . In 2010/11 it is 11.1 % ( 4.0 % in Northern Ireland ) . This figure was initially set at 3 % for the period 2002/03 and under current political commitments will rise to 15.4 % ( 6.3 % in Northern Ireland ) by the period 2015/16 and then it runs until 2037 ( 2033 in Northern Ireland ) . The extension of the scheme from 2027 to 2037 was declared on 1 April 2010 and is detailed in the National Renewable Energy Action Plan . Since its introduction the RO has more than tripled the level of eligible renewable electricity generation ( from 1.8 % of total UK supply to 7.0 % in 2010 ) .

A renewable energy sculpture is a sculpture that produces power from renewable sources , such as solar , wind , geothermal , hydroelectric or tidal .   Such a sculpture is functionally both a renewable energy generator and an artwork , fulfilling utilitarian , aesthetic , and cultural functions . The idea of renewable energy sculptures has been pioneered by ecofuturist visionaries such as artists Patrice Stellest , Sarah Hall , Julian H. Scaff , Patrick Marold , architects Laurie Chetwood and Nicholas Grimshaw , University of Illinois professor Bil Becket , and collaborations such as the Land Art Generator Initiative . Echoing the philosophy of the environmental art movement as a whole , artists creating renewable energy sculpture believe that the aesthetics of the artworks are inextricably linked to their ecological function .

A one-hundred-year flood is a flood event that has a 1 % probability of occurring in any given year . The 100-year flood is also referred to as the 1 % flood , since its annual exceedance probability is 1 % . For river systems , the 100-year flood is generally expressed as a flowrate . Based on the expected 100-year flood flow rate , the flood water level can be mapped as an area of inundation . The resulting floodplain map is referred to as the 100-year floodplain . Estimates of the 100-year flood flowrate and other streamflow statistics for any stream in the United States are available . In the UK The Environment Agency publishes a comprehensive map of all areas at risk of a 1 in 100 year flood ( Flood zone 3 ) Areas near the coast of an ocean or large lake also can be flooded by combinations of tide , storm surge , and waves . Maps of the riverine or coastal 100-year floodplain may figure importantly in building permits , environmental regulations , and flood insurance .

The 1980s oil glut was a serious surplus of crude oil caused by falling demand following the 1970s energy crisis . The world price of oil , which had peaked in 1980 at over US$ 35 per barrel ( equivalent to $ per barrel today , when adjusted for inflation ) , fell in 1986 from $ 27 to below $ 10 ( $ to $ today ) . The glut began in the early 1980s as a result of slowed economic activity in industrial countries ( due to the crises of the 1970s , especially in 1973 and 1979 ) and the energy conservation spurred by high fuel prices . The inflation-adjusted real 2004 dollar value of oil fell from an average of $ 78.2 in 1981 to an average of $ 26.8 per barrel in 1986 .   In June 1981 , The New York Times stated an `` Oil glut ! ... is here '' and Time Magazine stated : `` the world temporarily floats in a glut of oil , '' though the next week an article in The New York Times warned that the word `` glut '' was misleading , and that in reality , while temporary surpluses had brought down prices somewhat , prices were still well above pre-energy crisis levels . This sentiment was echoed in November 1981 , when the CEO of Exxon Corp also characterized the glut as a temporary surplus , and that the word `` glut '' was an example of `` our American penchant for exaggerated language . '' He wrote that the main cause of the glut was declining consumption . In the United States , Europe and Japan , oil consumption had fallen 13 % from 1979 to 1981 , due to `` in part , in reaction to the very large increases in oil prices by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil exporters , '' continuing a trend begun during the 1973 price increases .   After 1980 , reduced demand and increased production produced a glut on the world market . The result was a six-year decline in the price of oil , which culminated by plunging more than half in 1986 alone .

A demonstration farm is a farm which is used primarily to demonstrate various agricultural techniques , with any economic gains being an added bonus . Demonstration farms are often owned and operated by educational institution or government ministries . It is also common to rent land from a local farmer . The leaser is allowed to perform their demonstrations , while the land owner can be paid for the land usage or may be given the resulting crops .   Many demonstration farms not only have crops , but may also have various types of livestock . Various techniques for feeding and bedding are tested on these farms . Demonstration farms run by universities are not only used for research , but are also used for teaching purposes . The Ontario Agricultural College operates a demonstration farm in which students take active participation in their classes .   There has also been an expanding number of demonstration farms which are used to test various forms of renewable energy , primarily wind turbines and solar panels .

A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with cleaning properties in dilute solutions . These substances are usually alkylbenzenesulfonates , a family of compounds that are similar to soap but are more soluble in hard water , because the polar sulfonate ( of detergents ) is less likely than the polar carboxylate ( of soap ) to bind to calcium and other ions found in hard water .   In most household contexts , the term detergent by itself refers specifically to laundry detergent or dish detergent , as opposed to hand soap or other types of cleaning agents . Detergents are commonly available as powders or concentrated solutions . Detergents , like soaps , work because they are amphiphilic : partly hydrophilic ( polar ) and partly hydrophobic ( non-polar ) . Their dual nature facilitates the mixture of hydrophobic compounds ( like oil and grease ) with water . Because air is not hydrophilic , detergents are also foaming agents to varying degrees .

Review of World Economics is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal of international economics . It is published by Springer on behalf of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy .

According to the Journal Citation Reports , the journal has a 2014 impact factor of 1.383 , ranking it 18th out of 85 journals in the category `` International Relations '' .

Kwashiorkor is a form of severe protein -- energy malnutrition characterized by edema , irritability , ulcerating dermatoses , and an enlarged liver with fatty infiltrates . Sufficient calorie intake , but with insufficient protein consumption , distinguishes it from marasmus . Kwashiorkor cases occur in areas of famine or poor food supply . Cases in the developed world are rare .   Jamaican pediatrician Cicely Williams introduced the name into the medical community in a 1935 Lancet article , two years after she published the disease 's first formal description in the Western medical literature . The name is derived from the Ga language of coastal Ghana , translated as `` the sickness the baby gets when the new baby comes '' or `` the disease of the deposed child '' , and reflecting the development of the condition in an older child who has been weaned from the breast when a younger sibling comes . Breast milk contains proteins and amino acids vital to a child 's growth . In at-risk populations , kwashiorkor may develop after a mother weans her child from breast milk , replacing it with a diet high in carbohydrates , especially sugar .
