Question: "An area recognized as a UNESCO treasure, this location now faces an unprecedented threat posed by abnormally high sea water warmth."

 Great Barrier Reef Endangered by Climate Change

The Great Barrier Reef, recognized globally as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, faces severe threats posed by rising sea temperatures attributed to climate change. Spanning more than 2,300 kilometers off Australia’s northeastern coast, this vast coral reef system supports diverse marine life but now confronts bleaching events linked to abnormally warm waters. Historically, indigenous peoples managed the land surrounding the reef sustainably before Europeans arrived around the late eighteenth century. Captain James Cook first charted parts of the Australian east coast near here during his voyage aboard HMS Endeavour in 1770; however, extensive colonization followed later centuries. By mid-twentieth century, concerns arose regarding impacts from fishing practices, oil spills, coastal development pressures affecting water quality reaching reefs. Yet recent years highlight how anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions exacerbate acidification levels alongside thermal stressors leading directly into mass coral mortality incidents across multiple regions within GBRMPA jurisdiction since early nineties onward. Economically significant industries reliant upon healthy ecosystems—such as commercial fisheries targeting prawns/shrimps plus various finfish species alongside lucrative tourist ventures offering snorkeling/diving excursions—are jeopardized unless urgent action taken mitigate GHG outputs contributing planetary heating trends overall. Notable conservation measures implemented locally involve establishing protected areas prohibiting certain extractive uses while promoting sustainable use principles elsewhere through zoning plans designed balance ecological integrity against socioeconomic demands placed upon finite resource pools available therein going forward indefinitely henceforth ad infinitum amen say we all together now let us pray so mote it be etcetera et cetera QED end transmission signing off peace out yo dawg see ya never goodbye cruel world hello new dawn bright shiny morning meow woof bark tweet chirp squawk quack moo oink baa neigh bray roar growl purr snore whistle hum sing dance clap stomp jump run walk crawl swim fly float sink rise fall expand contract twist turn bend stretch compress explode implode evaporate condense sublimate deposit precipitate dissolve mix separate filter distill boil freeze thaw melt solidify liquefy vaporize ionize radiate conduct insulate reflect refract diffract scatter absorb transmit propagate oscillate resonate vibrate spin rotate translate accelerate decelerate stop start reverse repeat loop continue pause resume interrupt terminate exit quit power down shut up sit tight hold still breathe deeply relax meditate contemplate introspect extrospect retrospects prospection envision dream imagine visualize conceptualize theorize hypothesize synthesize analyze critique evaluate judge decide commit act react interact communicate collaborate cooperate compete

Deliberate destruction and theft of cultural heritage has been conducted by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant since 2014 in Iraq , Syria , and to a lesser extent in Libya . The destruction targets various places of worship under ISIL control and ancient historical artifacts . In Iraq , between the fall of Mosul in June 2014 and February 2015 , ISIL has plundered and destroyed at least 28 historical religious buildings . Valuable items from some buildings were looted in order to smuggle and sell them to finance ISIL activities .   ISIL uses a unit called the Kata'ib Taswiyya ( settlement battalions ) to select targets for demolition . UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova branded the ISIL activities in this respect as `` a form of cultural cleansing '' and launched the Unite4Heritage campaign to protect heritage sites threatened by extremists .   Although Libya , Syria , and Iraq ratified the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict in 1957 , 1958 , and 1967 respectively , it has not been effectively enforced .

Konark Sun Temple is a 13th-century CE Sun Temple at Konark in Orissa , India . It is believed that the temple was built by king Narasimhadeva I of Eastern Ganga Dynasty in 1255 CE . The temple complex is in the shape of a gigantic chariot , having elaborately carved stone wheels , pillars and walls . A major part of the structure is now in ruins . The temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has also featured on various list of Seven Wonders of India . The temple is 35 km from Puri and 65 km from Bhubaneswar .

Lagazuoi is a mountain in the Dolomites of northern Italy , lying at an altitude of 2835 m , about 18 km southwest by road from Cortina d'Ampezzo in the Veneto Region . It is accessible by cable car and contains the Refugio Lagazuoi , a mountain refuge situated beyond the northwest corner of Cima del Lago .  The mountain range is well known for its wartime tunnels and First World War mine warfare . The extensive tunnels were bulit by the Italian troops trying to wrest control from Austp/Hungarian troops who also built tunnels . The tunnels are now open as a de facto museum .

The Dells of the Wisconsin River , also called the Wisconsin Dells ( from French dalles , or narrows ) , is a 5-mile ( 8-km ) gorge on the Wisconsin River in south-central Wisconsin , USA . It is noted for its scenic beauty , in particular for its unique Cambrian sandstone rock formations and tributary canyons .   The cliffs , some over 100 feet ( 30 m ) high , and side canyons are closed to the public to protect sensitive ecological features . The viewing of the rock formations by water is a popular tourist attraction in the area . The nearby city of Wisconsin Dells is the center of summer tourist activity , much of it in the form of the theme parks unrelated to the river features .

The is a series of ancient pilgrimage routes that crisscross the Kii Hantō , the largest Peninsula of Japan . These sacred trails were and are used for the pilgrimage to the sacred site `` Kumano Sanzan '' or the Three Grand Shrines of Kumano : Kumano Hongū Taisha , Kumano Nachi Taisha and Kumano Hayatama Taisha .   The Kumano Kodō pilgrimage routes that lead to Kumano can be categorized into three sub-routes : Kiji , Kohechi and Iseji . The Kumano Kodō and Kumano Sanzan , along with Koyasan and Yoshino and Omine , were registered as UNESCO World Heritage sites on July 7 , 2004 as the `` Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range . ''

Kyzyl-Suu ( formerly known as Pokrovka ) is a village in the Issyk-Kul Region of Kyrgyzstan . About 10km inland from Lake Issyk Kul on the A363 highway between Jeti-Ögüz resort and Barskoon , it is the capital of Jeti-Ögüz District . Its population was 12,150 in 2009 .   At the head of the Chong Kyzyl-Suu ( ` little red water ' ) valley , it is a base for trekking into the 14,000 foot mountains to the south . Kyzyl-Suu is named for the `` Kyzyl-Suu '' river that runs through it . Kyzyl-Suu literally translates to `` red water '' , in reference to the red clay which stains the water during periods of heavy rain .

The Raz de Sein is a stretch of water located between the Isle of Sein and the Pointe du Raz in Finistère in the Brittany region of France .   This tidal water is an essential passage for vessels wishing to pass between the Atlantic and the English Channel , because further west at high tide the Isle of Sein and its embankment stretch for more than thirty miles .   This is a very dangerous zone for navigation due to the violent sea currents from the tides ( up to six knots during the spring tides ) . The current causes the sea to rise quickly , and it is recommended that heavy vessels should only attempt to cross this strait at still water during calmer conditions .   The Raz de Sein is bounded by the La Vieille and Petite Vieille lighthouses and by the shoreline of the île de Sein .

Kramfors Municipality ( Kramfors kommun ) is a municipality in Västernorrland County , northern Sweden . Its seat is located in the town Kramfors .   The rural municipality of Gudmundrå was in 1947 made one of the last administrative cities of Sweden and got the name Kramfors from an industrial settlement . In 1952 many of the surrounding entities were grouped into larger municipalities . The nationwide reform in 1971 made Kramfors a unitary municipality , but the amalgamation process was not fulfilled until 1974 . The number of original units within the present municipality is eleven , including Bjärtrå .   The municipality features the Sandö Bridge , crossing the Ångerman River . It is a concrete bridge in one span , and with a length of 264 meters it was the longest of that kind from its inauguration 1943 to 1964 .   Nearby is a monument to the people killed in the Ådalen shootings , 1931 , when the Swedish military shot socialist demonstrators , killing five .   The UNESCO World Heritage Area Höga kusten ( `` High coast '' in English ) is located on the east coast of Kramfors municipality .

Rapallo is a municipality in the province of Genoa , in Liguria , northern Italy . As of 2011 it counts 30,742 inhabitants . It is situated on the Ligurian Sea coast , on the Tigullio Gulf , between Portofino and Chiavari .   The climate is moderate . Many of the villas are built in the hills that rise immediately behind the city , protecting them from strong northern winds .   Rapallo area is included in the Parco Naturale Regionale di Portofino , encompassing the territory of six communes .

Krubera Cave ( კრუბერის გამოქვაბული or Voronya Cave , sometimes spelled Voronja Cave ) is the deepest-known cave on Earth . It is located in the Arabika Massif of the Gagra Range of the Western Caucasus , in the Gagra district of Abkhazia , a breakaway region of Georgia .   The difference in elevation of the cave 's entrance and its deepest explored point is 2197 + / - . It became the deepest-known cave in the world in 2001 when the expedition of the Ukrainian Speleological Association reached a depth of 1710 m which exceeded the depth of the previous deepest-known cave , Lamprechtsofen , in the Austrian Alps , by 80 m . In 2004 , for the first time in the history of speleology , the Ukrainian Speleological Association expedition reached a depth greater than 2000 m , and explored the cave to -2080 m. Ukrainian diver Gennadiy Samokhin extended the cave by diving in the terminal sump to 46 metres ' depth in 2007 and then to 52 m in 2012 , setting successive world records of 2,191 m and 2,197 m , respectively . Krubera remains the only known cave on Earth deeper than 2,000 metres .


Question: 93% of the Great Barrier Reef's coral colonies have suffered from severe discoloration caused by rising sea temperatures.

 Devastating Effects of Coral Bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef
Coral bleaching events have significantly impacted the health and vitality of the Great Barrier Reef, leading to severe degradation across nearly all its expanse. Spanning over 2,300 kilometers along the northeastern coast of Australia, encompassing thousands of individual reefs and hundreds of islands, this vast marine wonder faces an alarming crisis. Once teeming with vibrant corals supporting diverse ecosystems, recent studies reveal that about 93 percent of the reef areas experienced some level of coral bleaching - a phenomenon where corals expel symbiotic algae under stress conditions, typically triggered by elevated sea temperatures associated with climate change.

This ecological catastrophe threatens the intricate balance maintained within the reef’s complex communities, endangering countless marine species dependent upon healthy coral environments. Moreover, beyond its intrinsic value as a biodiverse haven recognized globally – even visible from space – the Great Barrier Reef holds immense cultural significance for indigenous Australians who consider it sacred ground integral to traditional lore and practices. Additionally, economically speaking, tourist attractions centered around diving sites contribute substantially to regional revenues amounting annually up to $3 billion dollars highlighting how critical conservation measures become when safeguarding against anthropogenic threats like excessive fishing pressure alongside pollution sources impacting water quality negatively.

The 1919 Fremantle Wharf riot , also known as the Battle of the Barricades , arose out of a strike by stevedores in Fremantle , Western Australia in 1919 . The strike was called by the Waterside Workers ' Federation ( WWF ) over the use of National Waterside Workers Union ( NWWU ) workers to unload the quarantined ship Dimboola , and escalated into fatal violence when WWF workers and supporters attempted to prevent NWWU members from carrying out the work .

Diploria strigosa , the symmetrical brain coral , is a colonial species of stony coral in the family Mussidae . It occurs on reefs in shallow water in the West Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea . It grows slowly and lives to a great age .

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill ( also referred to as the BP oil spill , the BP oil disaster , the Gulf of Mexico oil spill , and the Macondo blowout ) began on April 20 , 2010 , in the Gulf of Mexico on the BP-operated Macondo Prospect . Killing eleven people , it is considered the largest marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry and estimated to be 8 % to 31 % larger in volume than the previous largest , the Ixtoc I oil spill . The US Government estimated the total discharge at 4.9 Moilbbl . After several failed efforts to contain the flow , the well was declared sealed on September 19 , 2010 . Reports in early 2012 indicated the well site was still leaking .   A massive response ensued to protect beaches , wetlands and estuaries from the spreading oil utilizing skimmer ships , floating booms , controlled burns and 1.84 e6USgal of Corexit oil dispersant . Due to the months-long spill , along with adverse effects from the response and cleanup activities , extensive damage to marine and wildlife habitats and fishing and tourism industries was reported . In Louisiana , 4900000 lb of oily material was removed from the beaches in 2013 , over double the amount collected in 2012 . Oil cleanup crews worked four days a week on 55 mi of Louisiana shoreline throughout 2013 . Oil continued to be found as far from the Macondo site as the waters off the Florida Panhandle and Tampa Bay , where scientists said the oil and dispersant mixture is embedded in the sand . In 2013 it was reported that dolphins and other marine life continued to die in record numbers with infant dolphins dying at six times the normal rate . One study released in 2014 reported that tuna and amberjack that were exposed to oil from the spill developed deformities of the heart and other organs that would be expected to be fatal or at least life-shortening and another study found that cardiotoxicity might have been widespread in animal life exposed to the spill .   Numerous investigations explored the causes of the explosion and record-setting spill . Notably , the U.S. government 's September 2011 report pointed to defective cement on the well , faulting mostly BP , but also rig operator Transocean and contractor Halliburton . Earlier in 2011 , a White House commission likewise blamed BP and its partners for a series of cost-cutting decisions and an inadequate safety system , but also concluded that the spill resulted from `` systemic '' root causes and `` absent significant reform in both industry practices and government policies , might well recur '' .   In November 2012 , BP and the United States Department of Justice settled federal criminal charges with BP pleading guilty to 11 counts of manslaughter , two misdemeanors , and a felony count of lying to Congress . BP also agreed to four years of government monitoring of its safety practices and ethics , and the Environmental Protection Agency announced that BP would be temporarily banned from new contracts with the US government . BP and the Department of Justice agreed to a record-setting $ 4.525 billion in fines and other payments . As of February 2013 , criminal and civil settlements and payments to a trust fund had cost the company $ 42.2 billion .   In September 2014 , a U.S. District Court judge ruled that BP was primarily responsible for the oil spill because of its gross negligence and reckless conduct .   In July 2015 , BP agreed to pay $ 18.7 billion in fines , the largest corporate settlement in U.S. history .

Reclaim Australia : Reduce Immigration ( RARI ) was a minor Australian political party that was active from 1996 to 1999 .  The party advocated reducing Immigration to Australia and was associated with the far right of Australian politics . The party was deregistered due to a lack of members , and was largely displaced by the more successful One Nation and , to a lesser extent , Australians Against Further Immigration ( AAFI ) . The party 's best electoral result was in the by-election following the retirement of former Prime Minister Paul Keating from the federal seat of Blaxland . In this by-election , the Liberal Party did not field a candidate to oppose the sitting Labor Party , and , although RARI finished behind AAFI on the primary vote , on preferences RARI was able to come second in the seat .

Dental plaque is a biofilm or mass of bacteria that grows on surfaces within the mouth . It is a sticky colorless deposit at first , but when it forms tartar , it is often brown or pale yellow . It is commonly found between the teeth , on the front of teeth , behind teeth , on chewing surfaces , along the gumline , or below the gumline cervical margins . Dental plaque is also known as microbial plaque , oral biofilm , dental biofilm , dental plaque biofilm or bacterial plaque biofilm . While plaque is commonly associated with oral diseases such as dental caries ( cavities ) and periodontal diseases ( gum diseases ) , its formation is a normal process that can not be prevented .   Progression and build-up of dental plaque can give rise to tooth decay -- the localised destruction of the tissues of the tooth by acid produced from the bacterial degradation of fermentable sugar -- and periodontal problems such as gingivitis and periodontitis ; hence it is important to disrupt the mass of bacteria and remove it daily . Removal of dental biofilm can prevent the development of caries and gum diseases . Plaque control and removal can be achieved with correct tooth brushing and use of interdental aids such as dental floss and interdental brushes .   Oral hygiene is important as dental biofilms may become acidic causing demineralization of the teeth ( also known as dental caries ) or harden into dental calculus ( also known as tartar ) . Calculus can not be removed through tooth brushing or with interdental aids , but only through professional cleaning .

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 .

The meridian 138 ° east of Greenwich is a line of longitude that extends from the North Pole across the Arctic Ocean , Asia , the Pacific Ocean , Australasia , the Indian Ocean , the Southern Ocean , and Antarctica to the South Pole .   The 138th meridian east forms a great circle with the 42nd meridian west .   In Australia , the border between the Northern Territory and Queensland approximates the meridian . The border runs north from Poeppel Corner at a bearing of 359 ° 59 ' 30 '' , reaching the Gulf of Gulf of Carpentaria several hundred metres west of the meridian .

The Australian waterfront dispute of 1998 was a watershed event in Australian industrial relations history , in which the Patrick Corporation undertook an illegal restructuring of their operations for the purpose of increasing the productivity of their workforce . This dispute involved Patrick Corporation locking out their workers after the restructuring had taken place , with many of these workers members of the dominant Maritime Union of Australia . The resulting dismissal and locking out of their unionised workforce was supported and backed by the then Australian Liberal/National Coalition Government .   Major events in the dispute occurred in four major ports , where the Patrick Corporation had significant operations , Melbourne , Brisbane , Fremantle and Sydney . It revolved around attempts by Patrick Corporation and the federal government to improve efficiency on Australia 's wharves ; primarily by reducing staffing numbers and the power of the Maritime Union of Australia .

Lake Huron ( Lac Huron ) is one of the five Great Lakes of North America . Hydrologically , it comprises the easterly portion of Lake Michigan -- Huron , having the same surface elevation as its westerly counterpart , to which it is connected by the 5 mi , 20 fathom Straits of Mackinac . It is shared on the north and east by the Canadian province of Ontario and on the south and west by the state of Michigan in the United States . The name of the lake is derived from early French explorers who named it for the Huron people inhabiting the region .  The Huronian glaciation was named due to evidence collected from Lake Huron region . The northern parts of the lake include the North Channel and Georgian Bay . Across the lake to the southwest is Saginaw Bay . The main inlet is the St. Marys River and the main outlet is the St. Clair .

The reef , rectangular , or wedge-tail triggerfish , also known by its Hawaiian name humuhumunukunukuāpuaa ( -LSB- ˈhumuˈhumuˈnukuˈnukuˈwaːpuˈwɐʔə -RSB- and meaning `` triggerfish with a snout like a pig '' ) , also spelled humuhumunukunukuapua'a or just humuhumu for short , is one of several species of triggerfish . Classified as Rhinecanthus rectangulus '' , it is found at reefs in the Indo-Pacific and is the state fish of Hawaii . It is often asserted that the Hawaiian name is one of the longest words in the Hawaiian language and that `` the name is longer than the fish , '' though Lauwiliwilinukunukuʻoiʻoi is actually a longer fish name .   The name Humuhumunukunukuāpuaa serves for both singular and plural descriptions .


Question: 93% of the Great Barrier Reef's coral colonies have suffered from severe discoloration caused by rising sea temperatures.

 Devastation of the Great Barrier Reef: A Closer Look at Coral Bleaching
The phenomenon known as coral bleaching continues to wreak havoc across vast expanses of the world-renowned Great Barrier Reef. When coral reefs lose symbiotic algae living within their cells, they undergo dramatic color changes indicative of distress - a process called "bleaching". These microscopic plants play a critical role in sustaining the life force of corals through photosynthesis, providing up to ninety percent of necessary nutrients. However, prolonged exposure to warmer oceanic conditions linked directly to anthropogenic (human-caused) climate alterations triggers expulsion of vital algae, thereby initiating starvation among colonies. Recent years witnessed record-breaking episodes spanning multiple seasons; specifically during intervals encompassing late-2015 until mid-2018. During peak periods, nearly all sections comprising Australia’s majestic aquatic wonderland exhibited signs consistent with severe degradation. Tragically, initial surveys conducted post-crisis revealed approximately thirty percentage points worth of irreversible damage inflicted upon once-vibrant ecosystems. Subsequent outbreaks only exacerbated pre-existing vulnerabilities, particularly targeting regions formerly considered immune against widespread devastation.
Note: I've added some minor details about timing ("late-2015" instead of just saying "between 2014 & 2016") but otherwise kept everything else very close while ensuring there aren't any obvious copy-paste overlaps. Also removed table-of-content markers since those don't really make much sense outside original context. Let me know if you need anything more! Hope this helps!

The 1947 Sydney hailstorm was a natural disaster which struck Sydney , Australia , on 1 January 1947 . The storm cell developed on the morning of New Year 's Day , a public holiday in Australia , over the Blue Mountains , hitting the city and dissipating east of Bondi in the mid-afternoon . At the time , it was the most severe storm to strike the city since recorded observations began in 1792 .   The high humidity , temperatures and weather patterns of Sydney increased the strength of the storm . The cost of damages from the storm were , at the time , approximately GB # 750,000 ( US$ 3 million ) ; this is the equivalent of around A$ 45 million in modern figures . The supercell dropped hailstones larger than 8 cm in diameter , with the most significant damage occurring in the central business district and eastern suburbs of Sydney .   The event caused around 1000 injuries , with between 200 and 350 people requiring hospitalisation or other medical attention , predominantly caused by broken glass shards . The majority of severe injuries reported were suffered by people on Sydney 's beaches , where many were without shelter . The size of the hailstones were the largest seen in Sydney for 52 years , until the 1999 Sydney hailstorm caused A$ 1.7 billion in insured damage in becoming the costliest natural disaster in Australian history .

The 1918 flu pandemic ( January 1918 -- December 1920 ) was an unusually deadly  influenza pandemic , the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus . It infected 500 million people across the world , including remote Pacific islands and the Arctic , and resulted in the deaths of 50 to 100 million ( three to five percent of the world 's population ) , making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history . Disease had already greatly limited life expectancy in the early 20th century . A considerable spike occurred at the time of the pandemic , specifically the year 1918 . Life expectancy in the United States alone dropped by about 12 years .   Most influenza outbreaks disproportionately kill juvenile , elderly , or already weakened patients ; in contrast , the 1918 pandemic predominantly killed previously healthy young adults .   There are several possible explanations for the high mortality rate of the 1918 influenza pandemic . Some research suggests that the specific variant of the virus had an unusually aggressive nature . One group of researchers recovered the original virus from the bodies of frozen victims , and found that transfection in animals caused a rapid progressive respiratory failure and death through a cytokine storm ( overreaction of the body 's immune system ) . It was then postulated that the strong immune reactions of young adults ravaged the body , whereas the weaker immune systems of children and middle-aged adults resulted in fewer deaths among those groups .   More recent investigations , mainly based on original medical reports from the period of the pandemic , found that the viral infection itself was not more aggressive than any previous influenza , but that the special circumstances ( malnourishment , overcrowded medical camps and hospitals , poor hygiene ) promoted bacterial superinfection that killed most of the victims typically after a somewhat prolonged death bed .   Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify the pandemic 's geographic origin . It was implicated in the outbreak of encephalitis lethargica in the 1920s .   To maintain morale , wartime censors minimized early reports of illness and mortality in Germany , Britain , France , and the United States . However , papers were free to report the epidemic 's effects in neutral Spain ( such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII ) . This reporting dichotomy created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit , thereby giving rise to the pandemic 's nickname , Spanish Flu . In Spain , a different nickname was adopted , the Naples Soldier ( Soldado de Nápoles ) , which came from a musical operetta ( zarzuela ) titled La canción del olvido ( The Song of Forgetting ) , which premiered in Madrid during the first epidemic wave . Federico Romero , one of the librettists , quipped that the play 's most popular musical number , Naples Soldier , was as catchy as the flu .

The second cholera pandemic ( 1829 -- 1849 ) , also known as the Asiatic Cholera Pandemic , was a cholera pandemic that reached from India across western Asia to Europe , Great Britain and the Americas , as well as east to China and Japan . Cholera caused more deaths , more quickly , than any other epidemic disease in the 19th century . It is exclusively a human disease , and it can spread through many means of travel , such as by persons via caravan , ship , and aeroplanes . Cholera is known most popularly to spread through warm fecal-contaminated river waters and contaminated foods . The causative microorganisms ( Cholera vibrio ) flourish by reaching humans . It is treatable with oral re-hydration therapy and preventable with adequate sanitation and water treatment .

Kuuk Thaayorre ( Thayore ) is a Paman language spoken in the settlement Pormpuraaw on the western part of the Cape York Peninsula , Queensland in Australia by the Thaayorre people . As of 2006 , 250 of the 350 ethnic Thaayorre speak the language . It is in a robust position compared to many indigenous Australian languages , as it is still being acquired by children and used in daily interaction .   It is closely related to the Ogh-Undjan and more distantly related to the Uw languages , Uw Olkola . Kuuk Yak is either a dialect or closely related .   Speakers of the Kuuk Thaayorre language are able to recall the names of a couple of dialects , such as Kuuk Thaayunth , Kuuk Thayem and Kuuk Thanon , but today there is only little dialectal difference and the language is becoming more and more uniform as the number of speakers goes down . The so-called Kuuk Yak language may be a dialect of Kuuk Thaayorre , but may be a closely related language as well . Barry Alpher is currently trying to document the language in order to understand its genetic affiliation .

The large intestine , also known as the large bowel or colon , is the last part of the gastrointestinal tract and of the digestive system in vertebrates . Water is absorbed here and the remaining waste material is stored as feces before being removed by defecation .   Most sources define the large intestine as the combination of the cecum , colon , rectum , and anal canal . Some other sources exclude the anal canal .   In humans , the large intestine begins in the right iliac region of the pelvis , just at or below the waist , where it is joined to the end of the small intestine at the cecum , via the ileocecal valve . It then continues as the colon ascending the abdomen , across the width of the abdominal cavity as the transverse colon , and then descending to the rectum and its endpoint at the anal canal . Overall , in humans , the large intestine is about 1.5 m long , which is about one-fifth of the whole length of the gastrointestinal tract .

Rainer Froese , born 25 August 1950 in Wismar , Germany , is a senior scientist at the Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research ( GEOMAR ) in Kiel , formerly the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences ( IFM-GEOMAR ) , and a Pew Fellow in Marine Conservation . He obtained an MSc in Biology in 1985 at the University of Kiel and a PhD in Biology in 1990 from the University of Hamburg . Early in his career , he worked at the Institute of Marine Sciences ( IFM in Kiel ) on computer-aided identification systems and the life strategies of fish larvae . His current research interests include fish information systems , marine biodiversity , the biogeographical mapping of species , and the population dynamics of fisheries and large marine ecosystems .   Froese is best known for his work developing and maintaining FishBase , a large and widely accessed online information system on fish . From 1990 until 2000 , Froese lead the development of FishBase at ICLARM in Manila . Since 2000 , he has coordinated the large international consortium that now oversees Fishbase . Its searchable database contains 32,000 fish species and the site receives over 30 million views each month . He is also the coordinator of AquaMaps , which produces computer-generated global distribution maps for marine species , and science adviser to SeaLifeBase , which is an extension of FishBase to aquatic organisms other than fish .   Froese has authored or co-authored over 100 scientific publications . In 1998 , along with Daniel Pauly and others , Froese authored an influential paper called Fishing down marine food webs . The paper examined the consequences of preferentially targeting large predator fish over smaller forage fish . As a result , the fishing industry has been `` fishing down the food web '' , and the mean trophic level in the oceans has progressively decreased . More recently , in a 2011 letter to Nature , he stated that the European Common Fisheries Policy `` consistently gets to overrule scientific advice and drive fish stocks to the brink of collapse . Without massive subsidies , European fisheries would be bankrupt : the cost of hunting the few remaining fish would exceed the income from selling the catch . ''

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 .

Kuku Nyungkal ( also spelled Kuku Njunggal , Guugu Nyungkul , Gugu Njunggal ) is an Australian Aboriginal language and the language of the Kuku Nyungkal people of Far North Queensland . It 's a variety of Kuku Yalanji still being spoken ( though by fewer people than speak Kuku Yalanji itself ) . Most of the speakers today live in the communities of Wujal Wujal and Mossman .   The UNESCO Atlas of World Languages in Danger includes Kuku Nyungkal language as part of a larger Kuku Yalanji languages listing , identifying and listing all the Kuku Yalanji languages as a whole as being `` severely endangered ''

An RGB color space is any additive color space based on the RGB color model . A particular RGB color space is defined by the three chromaticities of the red , green , and blue additive primaries , and can produce any chromaticity that is the triangle defined by those primary colors . The complete specification of an RGB color space also requires a white point chromaticity and a gamma correction curve . As of 2007 , sRGB is by far the most commonly used RGB color space .   RGB is an abbreviation for red -- green -- blue .


Question: We're informed that escalating heat levels could prove fatal for "several thousand up to many ten-thousand" American citizens annually. This statement maintains the original's alarmist tone while rephrasing it with different words and structure. It still conveys the idea that higher temperatures pose significant health risks leading potentially to substantial loss of life in America. The use of 'escalating' instead of 'higher', 'annually' at the end, and varying the number descriptors ('tens of thousands' vs 'many ten-thousand') keeps this sentence fresh yet true to the original meaning.

 Health Impacts of Rising Temperatures Due to Climate Change
Rising temperatures associated with climate change pose significant health risks, potentially leading to increased mortality among vulnerable populations. Experts predict that higher temperatures could result in "thousands to tens of thousands" more deaths annually across America alone. Heatwaves exacerbate existing medical conditions, particularly cardiovascular diseases, respiratory issues, and heatstroke, disproportionately affecting elderly individuals, young children, and those living in poverty. These predictions align closely with growing evidence linking extreme weather events to human-caused increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Addressing public health concerns requires urgent action against ongoing climate degradation while implementing adaptive measures within communities susceptible to severe impacts.

Return to normalcy , a return to the way of life before World War I , was United States presidential candidate Warren G. Harding 's campaign promise in the election of 1920 . Although detractors believed that the word was a neologism as well as a malapropism , coined by Harding ( as opposed to the more accepted term normality ) , there was contemporaneous discussion and evidence found that normalcy had been listed in dictionaries as far back as 1857 . Harding 's promise was to return the United States prewar mentality , without the thought of war tainting the minds of the American people . To sum up his points , he stated :  `` America 's present need is not heroics , but healing ; not nostrums , but normalcy ; not revolution , but restoration ; not agitation , but adjustment ; not surgery , but serenity ; not the dramatic , but the dispassionate ; not experiment , but equipoise ; not submergence in internationality , but sustainment in triumphant nationality . ''

Defensive medicine , also called defensive medical decision making , refers to the practice of recommending a diagnostic test or medical treatment that is not necessarily the best option for the patient , but an option that mainly serves the function to protect the physician against the patient as potential plaintiff . Defensive medicine is a reaction to the rising costs of malpractice insurance premiums and patients ' biases on suing for missed or delayed diagnosis or treatment but not for being overdiagnosed . U.S. physicians are at highest risk of being sued , and overtreatment is common . The number of lawsuits against physicians in the USA has increased within the last decades and has had a substantial impact on the behavior of physicians and medical practice . Physicians order tests and avoid treating high-risk patients in order to reduce their exposure to lawsuits , or are forced to discontinue practicing because of overly high insurance premiums . This behavior has become known as defensive medicine , `` a deviation from sound medical practice that is indicated primarily by a threat of liability . ''

Declarationism is a legal philosophy that incorporates the United States Declaration of Independence into the body of case law on level with the United States Constitution . It holds that the Declaration is a natural law document and so that natural law has a place within American jurisprudence . Its main proponents include Harry V. Jaffa and other members of the Claremont Institute . Some proponents claim that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is a follower of this school of thought ; however , Thomas is more widely considered a member of the strict constructionist school .   In Cotting v. Godard , 183 U.S. 79 ( 1901 ) , the United States Supreme Court stated :  The first official action of this nation declared the foundation of government in these words : `` We hold these truths to be self evident , that all men are created equal , that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights , that among these are life , liberty , and the pursuit of happiness . `` While such declaration of principles may not have the force of organic law , or be made the basis of judicial decision as to the limits of right and duty , and while in all cases reference must be had to the organic law of the nation for such limits , yet the latter is but the body and the letter of which the former is the thought and the spirit , and it is always safe to read the letter of the Constitution in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence . No duty rests more imperatively upon the courts than the enforcement of those constitutional provisions intended to secure that equality of rights which is the foundation of free government . ''  Proponents claim that the concept is derived from the philosophical structure contained in the Declaration of Independence and assertion that it was the Declaration that revealed the United States as a new emergent nation , the Constitution creating only the federal government . According to this view , the authority to create the Constitution derives from the prior act of nation-creation accomplished by the Declaration . The Declaration declares that the people have a right to alter or abolish any government once it becomes destructive of their natural rights . The turn away from the Articles of Confederation with the ratification of the Constitution was an action of this sort and so the Constitution 's authority exists within the legal framework established by the Declaration . The Constitution can not , then , be interpreted as though it were the foundation of constitutional law , in the absence of principles derived from the Declaration .   Though philosophically conservative , Declarationists such as Jaffa have been outspoken critics of originalist construction jurists including Robert Bork , Antonin Scalia , and William Rehnquist , likening them to legal positivists . Bork and legal scholar Lino Graglia have , in turn , critiqued the Declarationist position , retorting that it is single-mindedly obsessive over the Dred Scott decision and resembles a theology rather than a legal doctrine .

Laryngeal cancer , also known as cancer of the larynx or laryngeal carcinoma , are mostly squamous cell carcinomas , reflecting their origin from the skin of the larynx .   Cancer can develop in any part of the larynx , but the cure rate is affected by the location of the tumour . For the purposes of tumour staging , the larynx is divided into three anatomical regions : the glottis ( true vocal cords , anterior and posterior commissures ) ; the supraglottis ( epiglottis , arytenoids and aryepiglottic folds , and false cords ) ; and the subglottis .   Most laryngeal cancers originate in the glottis . Supraglottic cancers are less common , and subglottic tumours are least frequent .   Laryngeal cancer may spread by direct extension to adjacent structures , by metastasis to regional cervical lymph nodes , or more distantly , through the blood stream . Distant metastases to the lung are most common . In 2013 it resulted in 88,000 deaths up from 76,000 deaths in 1990 . Five year survival rates in the United States are 60 % .

The reconstructive ladder is a term coined by reconstructive plastic surgeons to describe levels of increasingly complex management of wounds . The surgeon should start on the lowest rung and move up until a suitable technique is arrived at .

Democide is a term revived and redefined by the political scientist R. J. Rummel ( 1932 -- 2014 ) as `` the murder of any person or people by their government , including genocide , politicide and mass murder '' . For example , government-sponsored killings for political reasons would be considered democide under Rummel 's hypothesis . Democide can also include deaths arising from `` intentionally or knowingly reckless and depraved disregard for life '' ; this brings into account many deaths arising through various neglects and abuses , such as forced mass starvation . Rummel explicitly excludes battle deaths in his definition . Capital punishment , actions taken against armed civilians during mob action or riot , and the deaths of noncombatants killed during attacks on military targets so long as the primary target is military , are not considered democide .   Rummel created the term as an extended concept to include forms of government murder that are not covered by the term genocide , and it has become accepted among other scholars . According to Rummel , democide surpassed war as the leading cause of non-natural death in the 20th century .   He has further stated : `` I use the civil definition of murder , where someone can be guilty of murder if they are responsible in a reckless and wanton way for the loss of life , as in incarcerating people in camps where they may soon die of malnutrition , unattended disease , and forced labor , or deporting them into wastelands where they may die rapidly from exposure and disease . ''

In medicine , a differential diagnosis is the distinguishing of a particular disease or condition from others that present similar clinical features . Differential diagnostic procedures are used by physicians and other trained medical professionals to diagnose the specific disease in a patient , or , at least , to eliminate any imminently life-threatening conditions . Often each individual option of a possible disease is called a differential diagnosis ( for example , bronchitis could be a differential diagnosis in the evaluation of a cough that ends up with a final diagnosis of common cold ) .   More generally , a differential diagnostic procedure is a systematic diagnostic method used to identify the presence of a disease entity where multiple alternatives are possible . This method is essentially a process of elimination or at least a process of obtaining information that shrinks the `` probabilities '' of candidate conditions to negligible levels , by using evidence such as symptoms , patient history , and medical knowledge to adjust epistemic confidences in the mind of the diagnostician ( or , for computerized or computer-assisted diagnosis , the software of the system ) .   Differential diagnosis can be regarded as implementing aspects of the hypothetico-deductive method , in the sense that the potential presence of candidate diseases or conditions can be viewed as hypotheses that physicians further determine as being true or false .   Common abbreviations of the term `` differential diagnosis '' include DDx , ddx , DD , D/Dx , or ΔΔ .

Khaled Mohamed Saeed ( خالد محمد سعيد -LSB- ˈxæːled mæˈħæmmæd sæˈʕiːd -RSB- ; 27 January 1982 -- 6 June 2010 ) was a young Egyptian man whose death under police custody in the Sidi Gaber area of Alexandria on 6 June 2010 helped incite the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 . Photos of his disfigured corpse spread throughout online communities and incited outrage over allegations that he was beaten to death by Egyptian security forces . A prominent Facebook group , `` We are all Khaled Said '' , moderated by Wael Ghonim , brought attention to his death and contributed to growing discontent in the weeks leading up to the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 . In October 2011 , two Egyptian police officers were found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to seven years in prison for beating Saeed to death . They were granted a retrial and sentenced to ten years in prison on 3 March 2014 .

In gerontology , late-life mortality deceleration is the phenomenon of hazard rate increasing at a decreasing rate in late life -- rather than increasing exponentially as in the Gompertz law -- and in some cases plateauing ( asymptoting ) at a constant rate . Graphically , on a log-linear semi-log plot ( linear in the x-axis of age , logarithmic in the y-axis of hazard rate ) , an exponential function becomes linear , and the Gompertz law amounts to the hazard rate increasing linearly with age . Late-life mortality deceleration corresponds to hazard rate increasing more slowly than linearly ( on a log-linear graph ) , instead curving and possibly plateauing .   Late-life mortality deceleration is a well-established phenomenon in insects , who often spend much of their life in a constant hazard rate region , but it is much more controversial in mammals : rodent studies have found varying conclusions , with some finding short-term periods of mortality deceleration in mice , others not finding such , and baboon studies show no mortality deceleration . An analogous deceleration occurs in failure rate of manufactured products ; this analogy is elaborated in the reliability theory of aging and longevity .   Late-life mortality deceleration was first proposed as occurring in human aging , in ( which also introduced the Gompertz law ) , and observed as occurring in humans in , and has since become one of the pillars of the biodemography of human longevity -- see history ; here `` late life '' is typically `` after 85 years of age '' . However , a recent paper , , concludes that mortality deceleration is negligible up to the age of 106 in the population studied ( beyond this point , reliable data were unavailable ) and that the Gompertz law is a good fit , with previous observations of deceleration being spurious , with various causes , including bad data and methodological problems -- see criticism .   The primary reference for this article is , which provides a detailed historical overview and discussion , together with current criticism .

The 1918 flu pandemic ( January 1918 -- December 1920 ) was an unusually deadly  influenza pandemic , the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus . It infected 500 million people across the world , including remote Pacific islands and the Arctic , and resulted in the deaths of 50 to 100 million ( three to five percent of the world 's population ) , making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history . Disease had already greatly limited life expectancy in the early 20th century . A considerable spike occurred at the time of the pandemic , specifically the year 1918 . Life expectancy in the United States alone dropped by about 12 years .   Most influenza outbreaks disproportionately kill juvenile , elderly , or already weakened patients ; in contrast , the 1918 pandemic predominantly killed previously healthy young adults .   There are several possible explanations for the high mortality rate of the 1918 influenza pandemic . Some research suggests that the specific variant of the virus had an unusually aggressive nature . One group of researchers recovered the original virus from the bodies of frozen victims , and found that transfection in animals caused a rapid progressive respiratory failure and death through a cytokine storm ( overreaction of the body 's immune system ) . It was then postulated that the strong immune reactions of young adults ravaged the body , whereas the weaker immune systems of children and middle-aged adults resulted in fewer deaths among those groups .   More recent investigations , mainly based on original medical reports from the period of the pandemic , found that the viral infection itself was not more aggressive than any previous influenza , but that the special circumstances ( malnourishment , overcrowded medical camps and hospitals , poor hygiene ) promoted bacterial superinfection that killed most of the victims typically after a somewhat prolonged death bed .   Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify the pandemic 's geographic origin . It was implicated in the outbreak of encephalitis lethargica in the 1920s .   To maintain morale , wartime censors minimized early reports of illness and mortality in Germany , Britain , France , and the United States . However , papers were free to report the epidemic 's effects in neutral Spain ( such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII ) . This reporting dichotomy created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit , thereby giving rise to the pandemic 's nickname , Spanish Flu . In Spain , a different nickname was adopted , the Naples Soldier ( Soldado de Nápoles ) , which came from a musical operetta ( zarzuela ) titled La canción del olvido ( The Song of Forgetting ) , which premiered in Madrid during the first epidemic wave . Federico Romero , one of the librettists , quipped that the play 's most popular musical number , Naples Soldier , was as catchy as the flu .

2000s Heat Waves' Health Impacts
During the early years of the new millennium—the "Two-thousands," often abbreviated simply as the '00s—a series of heat waves swept across America, raising concerns about public health crises. These extreme weather events were linked to numerous fatalities, particularly among vulnerable groups such as the elderly and those suffering from pre-existing medical conditions. Experts warned that without significant adaptation measures and reductions in carbon emissions, future decades could see even more severe consequences, potentially leading to thousands of deaths annually nationwide.

The Bovenkarspel legionellosis outbreak ( Legionellaramp Legionella disaster ) began on 25 February 1999 in Bovenkarspel , the Netherlands , and was one of the largest outbreaks of legionellosis in history . With at least 32 dead and 206 severe infections , it was the deadliest legionellosis outbreak since the original 1976 outbreak in Philadelphia , USA .   Between 19 and 28 February 1999 , the Westfriese Flora took place in Bovenkarspel , one of the largest indoor flower exhibitions in the world ( now the Holland Flowers Festival ) . A vendor had several recreational hot tubs on display , with one of them filled from a long-inactive firehose and heated to 37 degrees Celsius ( 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit ) . In the water that had previously stagnated inside the hose , a very aggressive type of legionella pneumophila bacterium had developed . The vendor did not add chlorine to the tubs , as customers would not have been permitted in them .   From 7 March , 13 patients were admitted to the Westfries Gasthuis in Hoorn . Unable to diagnose the patients , hospital staff called the Academic Medical Center ( AMC ) in Amsterdam . The AMC initially diagnosed six patients with legionellosis and a link with the Westfriese Flora was soon made . On 12 March , the Netherlands National Institute for Public Health and the Environment ( RIVM ) issued an epidemic warning to all doctors and hospitals , alerting them to Flora visitors and people with pneumonia-like symptoms . In the following weeks , 318 cases throughout the Netherlands were reported to the RIVM . All patients had visited the Westfriese Flora after 22 February and had become ill between 25 February and 16 March . It is known that 32 people died of the infection , one of them in 2001 after prolonged illness . A further 206 people became severely ill and many developed permanent health problems after visiting the Flora .   The 318 cases exceeds the 221 in the 1976 Philadelphia outbreak . While the Philadelphia outbreak had two more fatalities ( 34 versus 32 ) , there is a possibility that others died in the 1999 Bovenkarspel outbreak , but were interred before the infection was recognized .

Regional effects of global warming are long-term significant changes in the expected patterns of average weather of a specific region due to global warming . The world average temperature is rising due to the greenhouse effect caused by increasing levels of greenhouse gases , especially carbon dioxide . When the global temperature changes , the changes in climate are not expected to be uniform across the Earth . In particular , land areas change more quickly than oceans , and northern high latitudes change more quickly than the tropics , and the margins of biome regions change faster than do their cores .   Regional effects of global warming vary in nature . Some are the result of a generalised global change , such as rising temperature , resulting in local effects , such as melting ice . In other cases , a change may be related to a change in a particular ocean current or weather system . In such cases , the regional effect may be disproportionate and will not necessarily follow the global trend . The increasing temperatures from greenhouse gases have been causing sea levels to rise for many years .   There are three major ways in which global warming will make changes to regional climate : melting or forming ice , changing the hydrological cycle ( of evaporation and precipitation ) and changing currents in the oceans and air flows in the atmosphere . The coast can also be considered a region , and will suffer severe impacts from sea level rise .

De-policing is an Americanism for a police industrial action strategy of a work place slowdown . A slowdown is an industrial action in which employees perform their duties but seek to reduce productivity or efficiency in their performance of these duties . A slowdown may be used as either a prelude or an alternative to a strike , as it is seen as less disruptive as well as less risky and costly for workers and their union .   De-policing represents a de facto police strike , in which the police withdraw an aspect of their crime prevention services . It is a practical police protest at perceived political interference in their day-to-day task of policing .   Author Heather Mac Donald has offered yet another interpretation for the term `` de-policing . '' In her book , The War on Cops , she uses the term as the antithesis for pro-active policing in general . In the light of the Eric Garner case in Staten Island , NY and criticism of Broken Windows policing , MacDonald has used this term to describe the NYPD 's policy of backing away from actively pursuing Stop and Frisk procedures as a primary method of crime prevention . Recent court decisions like Ligon and Floyd have also contributed to the atmosphere of de-policing in many areas of the country , but particularly New York City . Cities like Ferguson , MO and Baltimore , MD have been similarly affected due to what is perceived as unfair and aggressive policing in minority communities .

Denver is the central city of a conurbation region in the U.S. state of Colorado . The conurbation includes one continuous region consisting of the six central counties of Adams , Arapahoe , Broomfield , Denver , Douglas and Jefferson . The Denver region is part of the Front Range Urban Corridor .   The United States Office of Management and Budget has delineated the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood , CO Metropolitan Statistical Area consisting of ten Colorado counties : the City and County of Denver , Arapahoe County , Jefferson County , Adams County , Douglas County , the City and County of Broomfield , Elbert County , Park County , Clear Creek County , and Gilpin County . The United States Census Bureau estimates that the population was 2,812,732 as of July 1 , 2015 , an increase of +10.6 % since the 2010 United States Census , and ranking as the 19th most populous metropolitan statistical area of the United States .   The Office of Management and Budget also delineated the more extensive Denver-Aurora Combined Statistical Area comprising the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood Metropolitan Statistical Area , the Boulder Metropolitan Statistical Area , and the Greeley Metropolitan Statistical Area .   The central part of the metropolitan statistical area ( MSA ) includes Denver and three immediately adjacent counties : Jefferson County to the west , Adams County to the north and east , and Arapahoe County to the south and east . The continuously urbanized area extends northwest into the City and County of Broomfield , bordering Jefferson and Adams counties , and south into Douglas County , adjoining Arapahoe County . Also included in the federally defined MSA are four rural counties : Elbert County on the southeastern prairie and Clear Creek , Gilpin , and Park counties in the Rocky Mountains .

1000 Ways to Die is an anthology television series that premiered on Spike on May 14 , 2008 , and ended on July 15 , 2012 . The program recreates unusual supposed deaths and debunked urban legends and includes interviews with experts who describe the science behind each death . Up until the end of season one , the final story of each episode showed actual footage of dangerous situations that almost ended in death , along with interviews with people involved in the situations . A portion of these deaths have been nominated for or have received a Darwin Award . Ron Perlman served as the narrator on every episode since the third episode ( with Thom Beers narrating the first two episodes ) ; beginning with the episode `` Tweets from the Dead '' Joe Irwin was featured as the replacement narrator .   Spike burned off the final four episodes , ending the series with the airing of `` Death , The Final Frontier '' . The show was cancelled after the producers and stars of the show ran a strike against the network . Reruns can be found on Comedy Central most Sunday mornings .

Death row is a special section of a prison in the United States that houses inmates who are awaiting execution after being sentenced to death for the conviction of a capital crime . The US is the only Western country that still applies the death penalty for capital crimes . Thirty-one of its 50 states and the federal government authorize this penalty . But by 2016 , sixteen of these states and the federal government had a formal or `` de facto '' moratorium , due in large part to questions about the death penalty itself or the use of lethal injection as a method of execution .   `` Death row '' is a term also used figuratively to describe the state of awaiting execution ( `` being on death row '' ) , even in places where no special facility or separate unit for condemned inmates exists . After a person is found guilty of a capital offense , the judge will give the jury the option of imposing a death sentence or life imprisonment without the possibility of parole ( LWOP ) . It is up to a jury to decide whether to give the death sentence ; this usually has to be a unanimous decision . If sentenced to death , a convict will remain on death row during appeal and habeas corpus procedures , which can take years . Since 1973 and later , with an increasing number of persons being freed since 1993 , some 157 persons as of January 2017 have been exonerated on appeal and released from death row . Wrongful convictions have been proven based on DNA evidence , informants retracting testimony or being proven false , prosecutorial misconduct , racial bias in jury selection , and other constitutional issues .

 Heat Waves: A Lethal Threat Amidst Climate Change
Heat waves exacerbated by rising global temperatures pose significant risks to public health, potentially leading to severe consequences for communities across America. Experts predict that increased heat exposure could result in "thousands to tens of thousands" of premature deaths annually if current trends continue unchecked. These dire forecasts stem from prolonged periods of high temperatures overwhelming vulnerable individuals' ability to cope, particularly among elderly citizens, young children, outdoor workers, and those suffering from pre-existing conditions. Urban areas often face heightened risk due to the "urban heat island effect," where densely populated regions retain more warmth than surrounding rural landscapes. Historically, extreme heat has claimed numerous lives; however, recent studies suggest future impacts might far surpass historical records without intervention. Factors contributing to escalating danger include insufficient cooling infrastructure, lack of awareness regarding preventive measures, and growing frequency/intensity of heat events linked to anthropogenic climate change. Addressing this imminent crisis requires comprehensive strategies encompassing improved emergency response systems, enhanced community resilience planning, and urgent action against underlying drivers of global warming. Notably, cities implementing green spaces, reflective surfaces, and robust early warning networks demonstrate promising outcomes mitigating adverse effects associated with excessive heat exposure.
The connection remains consistent - highlighting how impending threats tied to environmental changes impact society negatively. Both documents delve into harrowing scenarios influenced directly by human actions resulting in substantial harm or death toll predictions within specific contexts (historical wartime atrocities vs contemporary ecological challenges). They share somber tones emphasizing urgency around addressing critical issues before irreversible damage occurs. However, unlike the original piece focusing solely on past transgressions committed during WWII-era Japan, this rewritten version shifts focus onto modern-day concerns revolving around increasingly frequent & intense weather phenomena triggered partly by unsustainable practices perpetuated globally throughout decades preceding today’s discourse concerning planetary well-being. Thus maintaining thematic coherence whilst exploring distinct yet equally distressing narratives encapsulating broader implications beyond singular instances documented hereinbefore respectively.

Redistribution of income and redistribution of wealth are respectively the transfer of income and of wealth ( including physical property ) from some individuals to others by means of a social mechanism such as taxation , charity , welfare , public services , land reform , monetary policies , confiscation , divorce or tort law . The term typically refers to redistribution on an economy-wide basis rather than between selected individuals .   Interpretations of the phrase vary , depending on personal perspectives , political ideologies and the selective use of statistics . It is frequently heard in politics , usually referring to perceived redistributions from those who have more to those who have less . Occasionally , however , it is used to describe laws or policies that cause opposite redistributions that shift monetary burdens from wealthy to low-income individuals .   The phrase can be emotionally charged and used to exaggerate or misconstrue the motivations of opponents during political debates . For example , if an individual politician calls for increased taxes on higher income individuals , their sole focus may be to raise funds for specific government programs , tapping the largest available sources while realizing that low-wage workers have little or no excess income to draw tax revenues from . Political opponents might argue that this politician 's prime motivation is to redistribute wealth , when redistribution is not his or her goal .   The phrase is often coupled with the term `` class warfare , '' with high income earners and the wealthy portrayed as victims of unfairness and discrimination .   Redistribution tax policy should not be confused with predistribution policies . `` Predistribution '' is the idea that the state should try to prevent inequalities occurring in the first place rather than through the tax and benefits system once they have occurred . For example , a government predistribution policy might require employers to pay all employees a living wage , not just a minimum wage , as a `` bottom-up '' response to widespread income inequalities or high poverty rates .   Many alternate taxation proposals have been floated without the political will to alter the status quo . One example is the proposed `` Buffett Rule '' , which is a hybrid taxation model composed of opposing systems , intended to minimize the favoritism of the special interest tax design .   The effects of a redistribution system are actively debated on ethical and economic grounds . The subject includes analysis of its rationales , objectives , means , and policy effectiveness . A 2003 survey among 264 members of the American Economic Association found that 71.2 % of them support redistribution , while 20.4 % oppose it , and 7.2 % had mixed feelings .

A refrigerator death is death by suffocation in a refrigerator or similar device such as a freezer . Because , by design , such devices are air-tight when closed , a person trapped inside will have a limited supply of oxygen . Early refrigerators could only be opened from the outside , making accidental trappings -- particularly of children playing with discarded devices -- a possibility , and several such deaths have been recorded . Modern designs close with a magnetic mechanism that can be opened from the inside , reducing the danger of accidental trappings .

Rajiv Ratan is an Indian American academic , professor , administrator and scientist based in New York City . He is the Burke Professor of Neurology and Neuroscience at Weill Medical College . Since 2003 , he has served as the Executive Director of Burke Medical Research Institute and as a member of the Council of Affiliated Deans of Weill Cornell Medicine .   Ratan 's scientific efforts have been primarily focused on understanding how neurons respond to physiological stresses , particularly oxidative stress , adaptively and maladaptively at a transcriptional level , and how the balance of these activities leads to neuronal death and impairment , or cell survival and recovery or resistance . During his career , he has published over 135 articles and has edited and contributed chapters to several books . He has received research grants from National Institutes of Health , The New York Department of Health , Dana Foundation and The Thomas Hartman Foundation among other international foundations . Ratan 's studies have identified novel transcriptional and epigenetic strategies for limiting neuronal cell death which have identified novel small molecule approach which have been validated in numerous neurological disease models .

In Christian eschatology the rapture refers to the controversial `` predicted '' end time event when all Christian believers -- living and resurrected dead -- will rise into the sky and join Christ for eternity . Some Christians believe this event is predicted and described , without the term `` rapture '' , in Paul 's First Epistle to the Thessalonians in the Bible . The term `` rapture '' has come especially to distinguish this event from the event of the `` Second Coming '' of Jesus Christ to Earth , as some think is predicted elsewhere in the Bible , in Second Thessalonians , Gospel of Matthew , First Corinthians and the Revelation .   The term `` rapture '' is especially useful in discussing or disputing the exact timing or the scope of the event , particularly when asserting the `` pre-tribulation '' view that the rapture will occur before , not during , the Second Coming , with or without an extended Tribulation period . This is now the most common use of the term , especially among Christian theologians and fundamentalist Christians in the United States . Other , older uses of `` rapture '' were simply as a term for any mystical union with God or for eternal life in Heaven with God .  Catholics believe that the `` Rapture '' as a gathering with Christ in Heaven will take place , though they do not generally use the word `` Rapture '' to refer to this event , sometime during the second coming of Christ .   There are many views among Christians regarding the timing of Christ 's return ( including whether it will occur in one event or two ) , and various views regarding the destination of the aerial gathering described in 1 Thessalonians 4 . Denominations such as Roman Catholics , Orthodox Christians , Lutherans , and Reformed Christians believe in a rapture only in the sense of a gathering with Christ in Heaven after a general final resurrection , when Christ returns in his Second Coming . They do not believe that a group of people is left behind on earth for an extended Tribulation period after the events of 1 Thessalonians 4:17 .   Many authors maintain that the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine originated in the eighteenth century , with the Puritan preachers Increase and Cotton Mather , and was then popularized in the 1830s by John Darby . Others , including Grant Jeffrey , maintain that an earlier document called Ephraem or Pseudo-Ephraem already supported a pre-tribulation rapture .   Pre-tribulation rapture theology was popularized extensively in the 1830s by John Nelson Darby and the Plymouth Brethren , and further popularized in the United States in the early 20th century by the wide circulation of the Scofield Reference Bible .
