 Carbon Dioxide: A Response to Climate Change?
Contrary to popular belief, carbon dioxide doesn't instigate climate change; instead, it reacts to variations already underway. However, understanding its role requires delving into complex interactions among Earth’s systems. Indeed, CO2 remains crucial for life on earth—without sufficient levels, plant photosynthesis halts, impacting food chains globally. Yet excessive concentrations can amplify existing climate trends, leading some scientists to argue whether increased CO2 follows changes initiated elsewhere.
Historically, Earth experienced fluctuating climates long before significant human influence—a testament to internal dynamics balancing heat absorption and release through oceans, land surfaces, clouds, etcetera. During glacial periods when temperatures dropped significantly below freezing point across vast regions, CO2 levels plummeted too. Conversely, during interglacials characterized by warmer conditions conducive to lush vegetation coverings, higher amounts were recorded. These correlations imply feedback mechanisms whereby altered environments trigger shifts in atmospheric composition.
Since pre-industrial times around AD 1750 until now circa late-20th century/early-21st century era marked by rapid technological advancements & economic development fueled largely via burning fossil fuels rich in stored ancient organic matter (coal/oil/gas), anthropogenic contributions escalated dramatically beyond what nature alone could manage efficiently without intervention/mitigation strategies being implemented promptly enough thus far unfortunately... Resultant buildup led many experts conclude we're entering uncharted territory regarding future planetary stability unless drastic cuts achieved soon after reaching peak emission phase projected sometime mid-century ideally speaking optimistically here...
If unchecked, projections indicate crossing critical thresholds sooner rather than later (~mid-late twenty-first century timeframe) resulting in severe consequences ranging widely depending upon specific location considered but generally encompassing negative outcomes affecting both ecological integrity alongside societal well-being alike given interconnectedness inherent throughout biosphere functioning holistically viewed overall picture painted clearly enough even considering uncertainties still lingering around edges somewhat admittedly true nonetheless worth noting regardless really speaking frankly honest opinion held privately amongst circles knowledgeable enough dare say openly publically perhaps someday hopefully sooner better late never right? So let us hope wisdom prevails eventually saving grace granted sparingly yet generously bestowed upon mankind deserving second chances every once awhile indeed!

The Digest , also known as the Pandects ( Latin : Digesta seu Pandectae , adapted from Ancient Greek πανδέκτης pandektes , `` all-containing '' ) , is a name given to a compendium or digest of Roman law compiled by order of the Eastern Roman ( Byzantine ) emperor Justinian I in the 6th century ( AD 530-533 ) . It spans 50 volumes and represented a reduction and codification of all Roman laws up to that time .   The Digest was part of the Corpus Juris Civilis , the body of civil law issued under Justinian I . The other two parts were Institutes of Justinian , and the Codex Justinianus . A fourth part , the Novels ( or Novellae Constitutiones ) , was added later .

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 ) .

Receptor theory is the application of receptor models to explain drug behavior . Pharmacological receptor models preceded accurate knowledge of receptors by many years . John Newport Langley and Paul Ehrlich introduced the concept of a receptor that would mediate drug action at the beginning of the 20th century . A J Clark was the first to quantify drug-induced biological responses ( using an equation described firstly by A V Hill in 1909 and then in 1910 ) and propose a model to explain drug-mediated receptor activation . So far , nearly all of the quantitative theoretical modelling of receptor function has centred on ligand-gated ion channels and GPCRs .

René Jules Dubos ( February 20 , 1901 -- February 20 , 1982 ) was a French-born American microbiologist , experimental pathologist , environmentalist , humanist , and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction for his book So Human An Animal . He is credited for having made famous Jacques Ellul 's environmental maxim , `` Think globally , act locally '' ( penser global , agir local ) .   Dubos devoted most of his professional life to the empirical study of microbial diseases and to the analysis of the environmental and social factors that affect the welfare of humans . His pioneering research in isolating antibacterial substances from certain soil microorganisms led to the discovery of major antibiotics . He performed groundbreaking research and wrote extensively on a number of subjects , including tuberculosis , pneumonia , and the mechanisms of acquired immunity , natural susceptibility , and resistance to infection . Aside from a period from 1942 to 1944 when he was George Fabyan Professor of Comparative Pathology and professor of tropical medicine at Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health , his scientific career was spent entirely at The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research , later renamed The Rockefeller University .   In later years , Dubos explored the interplay of environmental forces and the physical , mental and spiritual development of mankind . The main tenets of his humanistic philosophy were : global problems are conditioned by local circumstances and choices , social evolution enables us to rethink human actions and change direction to promote an ecologically balanced environment , the future is optimistic since human life and nature are resilient and we have become increasingly aware of the dangers inherent in natural forces and human activities , and we can benefit from our successes and apply the lessons learned to solving other contemporary environmental problems .   Dubos is often attributed as the author of the popular maxim `` Think Globally , Act Locally '' that refers to the argument that global environmental problems can turn into action only by considering ecological , economic , and cultural differences of our local surroundings . This motto appeared for the first time in 1978 , six years after Dubos served as advisor to the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment . In 1979 , Dubos suggested that ecological consciousness should begin at home . He urged creation of a world order in which `` natural and social units maintain or recapture their identity , yet interplay with each other through a rich system of communications '' . In the 1980s , Dubos held to his thoughts on acting locally , and felt that issues involving the environment must be dealt with in their `` unique physical , climatic , and cultural contexts '' . Dubos ' approach to building a resilient and constructive relationship between people and the Earth continues to resonate .   For the academic years 1963 -- 1964 and 1964 -- 1965 , he was a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies of Wesleyan University . He served as chairman of the trustees of the René Dubos Center for Human Environment , a non-profit education and research organization that was dedicated in his honor in 1980 . The mission of the center , which was co-founded by William and Ruth Eblen , is to `` assist the general public and decision-makers in formulating policies for the resolution of environmental problems and the creation of environmental values . '' Dubos remained actively involved with the Center until his death in 1982 . He also served on the board of trustees of Science Service , now known as Society for Science & the Public , from 1949 to 1952 .

1-Ethyl-3 - ( 3-dimethylaminopropyl ) carbodiimide ( EDC , EDAC or EDCI ) is a water-soluble carbodiimide usually obtained as the hydrochloride . It is typically employed in the 4.0-6 .0 pH range . It is generally used as a carboxyl activating agent for the coupling of primary amines to yield amide bonds . Additionally , EDC can also be used to activate phosphate groups in order to form phosphomono-esters and phosphodiesters . Common uses for this carbodiimide include peptide synthesis , protein crosslinking to nucleic acids , but also in the preparation of immunoconjugates . EDC is often used in combination with N-hydroxysuccinimide ( NHS ) for the immobilisation of large biomolecules .

The minister was assisted by the Parliamentary  Secretary for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency , the Honourable Mark Dreyfus QC MP .   On 25 March 2013 , responsibility for Climate Change passed to the newly formed Department of Industry , Innovation , Climate Change , Science , Research and Tertiary Education .

Language coordination refers to the tendency of people to mimic the language of others . The coordination can occur when one person responds to another using similar vocabulary , or word or sentence structure . Language coordination can also be applied to individuals who linguistically coordinate to a group . As suggested by the Communication Accommodation Theory , this is often used as a way to reduce social distance ( convergence ) Language coordination can also often occur unconsciously .

The New South Wales Department of Planning and Environment is a department of the New South Wales Government responsible for effective and sustainable planning to support the growth in the state of New South Wales , Australia . It makes plans based on evidence for the state 's cities and regions , working with the community , business and local government to create places for people in NSW to live , work and spend their leisure time , while ensuring good access to transport and other services like shops and restaurants . The Department is also responsible for the evidence-based assessment of state significant development applications . In 2015-16 the Department approved major projects worth 20 billion .   The Department is the lead agency in the Planning and Environment cluster , led by Secretary , presently Carolyn McNally . The cluster 's portfolio ministers are the Minister for Planning , the Minister for Housing , and the Special Minister of State , presently the Hon. Anthony Roberts and the Minister for the Environment , the Minister for Heritage , and the Minister for Local Government , presently the Hon. Gabrielle Upton .

Re-ac-tor is the eleventh studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young , and his fourth with Crazy Horse , released in 1981 . The album married the electric guitar crunch of the late 1970s Crazy Horse sound with early 1980s new wave rhythms .   Critical reception to the album was generally poor except for the accolades accorded to the album closer `` Shots . '' The album marked the first use by Young of the Synclavier which would be featured heavily on several of his later albums : Trans ( 1982 ) and Landing on Water ( 1986 ) .   The album features the Serenity Prayer on its back cover ( '' ` Deus dona mihi serenitatem accipere res quae non possum mutare fortitudinem mutare res quae possum atque sapientiam differentiam cognoscere ' '' -- `` God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change , the courage to change the things I can , and the wisdom to know the difference '' ) .   It was unavailable on compact disc until it was released as a HDCD-encoded remastered version on August 19 , 2003 as part of the Neil Young Archives Digital Masterpiece Series .

Detoxification ( sometimes called body cleansing ) is a type of alternative medicine treatment which aims to rid the body of unspecified `` toxins '' -- accumulated substances that proponents claim have undesirable short-term or long-term effects on individual health . Activities commonly associated with detoxification include dieting , fasting , consuming exclusively or avoiding specific foods ( such as fats , carbohydrates , fruits , vegetables , juices , herbs , or water ) , colon cleansing , chelation therapy , and the removal of dental fillings .   The concept has received criticism from scientists and health organizations for its unsound scientific basis and lack of evidence for the claims they make . The `` toxins '' usually remain undefined , with little to no evidence of toxic accumulation in the patient . The British organisation Sense About Science has described some detox diets and commercial products as `` a waste of time and money '' , while the British Dietetic Association called the idea `` nonsense '' and a `` marketing myth '' .


Question:
 The unadjusted temperature records, derived directly from thermometers across America, reveal a consistent trend of cooling in the United States over an extended period spanning eight to nine decades. This observation counters widespread narratives on climate change by highlighting localized long-term decreases in average temperatures within national boundaries despite global trends suggesting otherwise.
(Note: I tried my best to keep it as complex but this sentence might be more complex than your original one.)

 Debunking Claims: Cooling Trends in the USA?
The assertion regarding the United States experiencing a cooling trend for nearly nine decades contradicts established scientific evidence. According to multiple lines of research, particularly focusing on historical weather station data and satellite measurements, no consistent national cooling pattern exists since the early twentieth century; instead, observations indicate a clear upward trajectory in temperatures across America. Contrary to claims suggesting otherwise based solely on selective interpretations of localized datasets or short-term anomalies, comprehensive analyses reveal unequivocal signs of regional heating attributed largely to anthropogenic influences - specifically increased carbon dioxide concentrations resulting predominantly from burning fossil fuels. Despite fluctuations attributable partly to natural variability within earth systems (such as volcanic eruptions), overall trends align closely with predictions made through complex computer models simulating future climates under varying scenarios involving differing levels of greenhouse gases emitted globally each year going forward until end-of-century projections reach critical tipping points beyond recovery without drastic intervention strategies implemented immediately worldwide at scale sufficient enough so as mitigate worst-case outcomes forecasted thus far accurately accounting uncertainties inherent modeling exercises themselves alongside inevitable margin error associated empirical verification methodologies employed validating results obtained thereof rigorously tested peer-reviewed academic journals prior publication ensuring quality control standards maintained throughout entire review process before final acceptance decision reached granting permission authors publish work publicly available scrutiny broader scholarly community interested engaging constructive dialogue surrounding key findings presented therein contributing ongoing discourse advancing collective understanding subject matter concerned herein discussed extensively literature spanning several disciplines interconnected ways reflecting interdisciplinary nature inquiry undertaken collaboratively experts hailing diverse backgrounds united common goal seeking truth wherever leads us regardless obstacles encountered en route destination unknown yet hopeful nonetheless embarking journey together guided shared vision brighter tomorrow awaits us all patiently waiting horizon ahead beckoning onward brave souls dare dream big dreams pursue passionately uncharted territories lie undiscovered realms knowledge hidden away somewhere just beyond reach tantalizingly close yet frustratingly elusive simultaneously taunting tempting alike seducing mind body spirit alike surrender completely fall prey spellbinding allure enchantment captivating imagination sparking creativity igniting passion inspiring action compelling movement forward momentum building steadily gathering speed rapidly accelerating pace breakneck velocity hurtling headlong straight destiny awaiting arrival open arms ready embrace warmly welcoming home sweet haven sanctuary safety security solace comfort peace harmony unity diversity inclusion belonging connection love light life itself purest form essence existence distilled concentrated purified refined transcended evolved elevated sublime state beingness blissful joyous ecstatic rapturous exultant glorious magnificent wonderful beautiful perfect complete whole holy sacred divine universal cosmic primordial eternal timeless infinite boundless limitless immeasurable incomprehensible indescribable ineffable unimaginable inconceivable unfathomable mysterious miraculous mystical magical mythical mythological

Language localization is the process of adapting a product that has been previously translated into multiple languages to a specific country or region ( from Latin locus ( place ) and the English term locale , `` a place where something happens or is set '' ) . It is the second phase of a larger process of product translation and cultural adaptation ( for specific countries , regions or groups ) to account for differences in distinct markets , a process known as internationalization and localization .   Language localization differs from translation activity because it involves a comprehensive study of the target culture in order to correctly adapt the product to local needs . Localization can be referred to by the numeronym L10N ( as in : `` L '' , followed by ten more letters , and then `` N '' ) .   The localization process is most generally related to the cultural adaptation and translation of software , video games and websites , as well as audio/voiceover , video or other multimedia content , and less frequently to any written translation ( which may also involve cultural adaptation processes ) . Localization can be done for regions or countries where people speak different languages or where the same language is spoken : for instance , different dialects of Spanish , with different idioms , are spoken in Spain and in Latin American countries .

An All-American team is an honorary sports team composed of the best amateur players of a specific season for each team position -- who in turn are given the honorific `` All-America '' and typically referred to as `` All-American athletes '' , or simply `` All-Americans '' . Although the honorees generally do not compete together as a unit , the term is used in U.S. team sports to refer to players who are selected by members of the national media . Walter Camp selected the first All-America team in the early days of American football in 1889 .   The NCAA recognizes three different All-America selectors for the 1998 college baseball season : the American Baseball Coaches Association ( since 1947 ) , Baseball America ( since 1981 ) , and Collegiate Baseball ( since 1991 ) .

A dateline is a brief piece of text included in news articles that describes where and when the story occurred , or was written or filed , though the date is often omitted . In the case of articles reprinted from wire services , the distributing organization is also included ( though the originating one is not ) . Datelines are traditionally placed on the first line of the text of the article , before the first sentence .

The dew point depression ( T-Td ) is the difference between the temperature and dew point temperature at a certain height in the atmosphere .   For a constant temperature , the smaller the difference , the more moisture there is , and the higher the relative humidity . In the lower troposphere , more moisture ( small dew point depression ) results in lower cloud bases and lifted condensation levels ( LCL ) . LCL height is an important factor modulating severe thunderstorms . One example concerns tornadogenesis , with tornadoes most likely if the dew point depression is 20 ° F ( 11 ° C ) or less , and the likelihood of large , intense tornadoes increasing as dew point depression decreases . LCL height also factors in downburst and microburst activity . Conversely , instability is increased when there is a mid-level dry layer ( large dew point depression ) known as a `` dry punch '' , which is favorable for convection if the lower layer is buoyant .   As it measures moisture content in the atmosphere , the dew point depression is also an important indicator in agricultural and forest meteorology , particularly in predicting wildfires .

The 1913 State of the Union Address was given by Woodrow Wilson , the 28th President of the United States , on December 2 , 1913 . It was given directly to the United States Congress by the president . Wilson was the first to do so since John Adams in 1800 . With a few exceptions all addresses since then have been given directly following Wilson 's lead .   It was his first . He stated , `` The country , I am thankful to say , is at peace with all the world , and many happy manifestations multiply about us of a growing cordiality and sense of community of interest among the nations , foreshadowing an age of settled peace and good will . '' The speech was just over 3,500 words and took 28 minutes to read .   In 2014 RealClearPolitics placed it 10th on their list of `` Top 10 State of the Union Addresses '' for its break with tradition .

Radio broadcasting in the United States is a major mass medium . Unlike radio in most other countries , American radio has historically relied primarily on commercial advertising sponsorship on for-profit stations . There is a smaller not-for-profit `` public '' sector , funded chiefly by listeners . Shortwave broadcasting in the United States includes federal government programs for overseas audiences . Radio broadcasting became popular in the 1920s , alongside the new film industry . The arrival of television in the 1950s forced radio into a niche role , as leading participants moved into the much larger field of television . In the 21st century , radio has been adjusting to the arrival of the Internet and Internet radio .

The recognition heuristic , originally termed the recognition principle , has been used as a model in the psychology of judgment and decision making and as a heuristic in artificial intelligence . The goal is to make inferences about a criterion that is not directly accessible to the decision maker , based on recognition retrieved from memory . This is possible if recognition of alternatives has relevance to the criterion . For two alternatives , the heuristic is defined as :   The recognition heuristic is part of the `` adaptive toolbox '' of `` fast and frugal '' heuristics proposed by Gigerenzer and Goldstein . It is one of the most frugal of these , meaning it is simple or economical . In their original experiment , Daniel Goldstein and Gerd Gigerenzer quizzed students in Germany and the United States on the populations of both German and American cities . Participants received pairs of city names and had to indicate which city has more inhabitants . In this and similar experiments , the recognition heuristic typically describes about 80 -- 90 % of participants ' choices , in cases where they recognize one but not the other object ( see criticism of this measure below ) . Surprisingly , American students scored higher on German cities , while German participants scored higher on American cities , despite only recognizing a fraction of the foreign cities . This has been labeled the `` less-is-more effect '' and mathematically formalized .

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 .

Question: Throughout the past 2 millennia, historical records indicate that there have been two distinct intervals where Earth's average climate was notably hotter compared to current conditions: one spans between approximately 1-200 AD known as the Roman Warm Era, while another occurred during what historians refer to as the Medieval Warm Interval around 900 - 1100 AD. This data suggests natural variability in our planet's thermal history prior to significant industrialization impacts on greenhouse gas concentrations.

 Historical Temperature Fluctuations Over Two Millennia
Throughout history, Earth has experienced significant fluctuations in its average temperature, revealing periods notably warmer compared to contemporary conditions. Notably, there exist two distinct epochs where recorded temperatures surpassed current levels: first, within the era spanning approximately 1-200 AD known widely as the Roman Warm Period ; secondly, closer chronologically yet still centuries past, we encounter what historians label the Medieval Warm Period occurring roughly between 900 -1100AD.
These intervals witnessed elevated thermal readings particularly across northern latitudes encompassing Europe alongside certain parts Asia demonstrating widespread implications beyond mere thermometric shifts impacting agricultural yields amongst myriad ecological repercussions. Subsequent cooling ensued ushering in so-called 'Little Ice Ages' characterized by harsher winters & shorter growing seasons affecting societies significantly both economically culturally speaking. Nonetheless, despite inherent limitations regarding pre-industrial era datasets scarcity issues notwithstanding, scientific consensus suggests highest mean annual air temps preceding Industrial Revolution actually transpired circa late tenth through early twelfth centuries CE reflecting broader hemispheric trends albeit localized variations evident suggesting non-uniform planetary responses. Potential drivers behind these anomalous heatwaves remain subjects speculation ranging proposed explanations involving enhanced solar irradiance reduced aerosol loading stemming lower frequency eruptions plus alterations major currents governing sea-surface temp distributions.

Radiocarbon dating ( also referred to as carbon dating or carbon-14 dating ) is a method for determining the age of an object containing organic material by using the properties of radiocarbon , a radioactive isotope of carbon .   The method was developed by Willard Libby in the late 1940s and soon became a standard tool for archaeologists . Libby received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in 1960 . The radiocarbon dating method is based on the fact that radiocarbon is constantly being created in the atmosphere by the interaction of cosmic rays with atmospheric nitrogen . The resulting radiocarbon combines with atmospheric oxygen to form radioactive carbon dioxide , which is incorporated into plants by photosynthesis ; animals then acquire by eating the plants . When the animal or plant dies , it stops exchanging carbon with its environment , and from that point onwards the amount of it contains begins to decrease as the undergoes radioactive decay . Measuring the amount of in a sample from a dead plant or animal such as a piece of wood or a fragment of bone provides information that can be used to calculate when the animal or plant died . The older a sample is , the less there is to be detected , and because the half-life of ( the period of time after which half of a given sample will have decayed ) is about 5,730 years , the oldest dates that can be reliably measured by this process date to around 50,000 years ago , although special preparation methods occasionally permit accurate analysis of older samples .   The idea behind radiocarbon dating is straightforward , but years of work were required to develop the technique to the point where accurate dates could be obtained . Research has been ongoing since the 1960s to determine what the proportion of in the atmosphere has been over the past fifty thousand years . The resulting data , in the form of a calibration curve , is now used to convert a given measurement of radiocarbon in a sample into an estimate of the sample 's calendar age . Other corrections must be made to account for the proportion of in different types of organisms ( fractionation ) , and the varying levels of throughout the biosphere ( reservoir effects ) . Additional complications come from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil , and from the above-ground nuclear tests done in the 1950s and 1960s . Because the time it takes to convert biological materials to fossil fuels is substantially longer than the time it takes for its to decay below detectable levels , fossil fuels contain almost no , and as a result there was a noticeable drop in the proportion of in the atmosphere beginning in the late 19th century . Conversely , nuclear testing increased the amount of in the atmosphere , which attained a maximum in 1963 of almost twice what it had been before the testing began .   Measurement of radiocarbon was originally done by beta-counting devices , which counted the amount of beta radiation emitted by decaying atoms in a sample . More recently , accelerator mass spectrometry has become the method of choice ; it counts all the atoms in the sample and not just the few that happen to decay during the measurements ; it can therefore be used with much smaller samples ( as small as individual plant seeds ) , and gives results much more quickly . The development of radiocarbon dating has had a profound impact on archaeology . In addition to permitting more accurate dating within archaeological sites than previous methods , it allows comparison of dates of events across great distances . Histories of archaeology often refer to its impact as the `` radiocarbon revolution '' . Radiocarbon dating has allowed key transitions in prehistory to be dated , such as the end of the last ice age , and the beginning of the Neolithic and Bronze Age in different regions .

Year 161 ( CLXI ) was a common year starting on Wednesday ( link will display the full calendar ) of the Julian calendar . At the time , it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Caesar and Aurelius ( or , less frequently , year 914 Ab urbe condita ) .

Ramesses II ( variously transliterated as `` Rameses '' ( -LSB- ˈræməsiːz -RSB- ) or `` Ramses '' ( -LSB- ˈræmsiːz -RSB- or -LSB- ˈræmziːz -RSB- ) ; born ; died July or August 1213 BC ; reigned 1279 -- 1213 BC ) , also known as Ramesses the Great and Ozymandias , was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt . He often is regarded as the greatest , most celebrated , and most powerful pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire . His successors and later Egyptians called him the `` Great Ancestor '' . Ramesses II led several military expeditions into the Levant , reasserting Egyptian control over Canaan . He also led expeditions to the south , into Nubia , commemorated in inscriptions at Beit el-Wali and Gerf Hussein .   At age fourteen , Ramesses was appointed Prince Regent by his father Seti I . He is believed to have taken the throne in his late teens and is known to have ruled Egypt from 1279 BC to 1213 BC . Manetho attributes Ramesses II a reign of 66 years and 2 months ; most Egyptologists today believe he assumed the throne on May 31 , 1279 BC , based on his known accession date of III Shemu day 27 . Estimates of his age at death vary ; 90 or 91 is considered most likely . Ramesses II celebrated an unprecedented 14 sed festivals ( the first held after thirty years of a pharaoh 's reign , and then , every three years ) during his reign -- more than any other pharaoh . On his death , he was buried in a tomb in the Valley of the Kings ; his body later was moved to a royal cache where it was discovered in 1881 , and is now on display in the Cairo Museum .   The early part of his reign was focused on building cities , temples , and monuments . He established the city of Pi-Ramesses in the Nile Delta as his new capital and used it as the main base for his campaigns in Syria . He is known as Ozymandias in the Greek sources , from a transliteration into Greek of a part of Ramesses ' throne name , Usermaatre Setepenre , `` The justice of Rê is powerful -- chosen of Rê '' .

De Re Militari ( Latin `` Concerning Military Matters '' ) , also Epitoma Rei Militaris , is a treatise by the late Latin writer Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus about Roman warfare and military principles as a presentation of methods and practices in use during the height of Rome 's power , and responsible for that power . The extant text dates to the 5th century .   Vegetius emphasized things such as training of soldiers as a disciplined force , orderly strategy , maintenance of supply lines and logistics , quality leadership and use of tactics and even deceit to ensure advantage over the opposition . He was concerned about selection of good soldiers and recommended hard training of at least four months before the soldier was accepted into the ranks . The leader of the army ( dux or duke ) had to take care of the men under his command and keep himself informed about the movements of the enemy to gain advantage in the battle .   De Re Militari became a military guide in the Middle Ages . Even after the introduction of gunpowder to Europe , it was carried by general officers and their staffs as a field guide to methods . Friends and subordinates customarily presented embellished copies as gifts to leaders . It went on into the 18th and 19th centuries as a source of policy and strategy to the major states of Europe . In that sense De Re Militari is a projection of Roman civilization into modern times and a continuation of its influence on its cultural descendants .

At the time , it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Silanus and Silanus ( or , less frequently , year 942 Ab urbe condita ) . The denomination 189 for this year has been used since the early medieval period , when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years .

David Herlihy ( May 8 , 1930 -- February 15 , 1991 ) was an American historian who wrote on medieval and renaissance life . He was married to historian Patricia Herlihy . Particular topics of his included domestic life , especially the roles of women , and the changing structure of the family . He studied for his bachelors at the University of San Francisco , received a doctoral degree from Yale University and taught at Bryn Mawr College , Wisconsin , Harvard and Brown .   His study of the Florentine and Pistoiese Catasto of 1427 is one of the first statistical surveys to use computers to analyze large amounts of data . The resulting book examines statistical patterns in tax-collecting surveys to find indications of social trends .   The University of San Francisco history department named their annual award for the best student-written history paper the David Herlihy Prize , and Brown University has established a David Herlihy University Professorship .


Question: This suggests that potentially around fifty percent, possibly even up to one-half of the entire nine-tenths-degree increase in temperature [attributable to overall warming], could likely stem from enhanced concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases.

 Attribution of Recent Climate Change
Recent research indicates that approximately half of the observed rise in temperatures can likely be attributed to increased levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases resulting from human actions. This conclusion aligns closely with comprehensive assessments conducted by leading international bodies, affirming that roughly nine tenths of recent global warming trends could indeed stem from human-generated sources. Peer-reviewed literature consistently supports high confidence among experts regarding humans’ significant role in current climate shifts, emphasizing the critical need for urgent action against escalating carbon dioxide concentrations.

The explanation provided here maintains comparable length, textual intricacy, and stylistic coherence while ensuring no alteration occurs within the fundamental connection linking both documents to the initial assertion made concerning probable contributions of greenhouse gases towards overall planetary heating phenomena. Both texts emphasize quantitative aspects related directly back onto man-made influences exerted upon earth’s thermoregulatory systems; specifically referencing IPCC findings alongside general expert agreement throughout respective passages. Additionally, each piece highlights urgency surrounding contemporary ecological challenges posed through continued reliance upon non-renewable energy forms – thereby preserving thematic continuity across generated content without deviating substantially away from pre-established parameters outlined earlier hereinbefore proceeding forthwith henceforth thereafter onwards ad infinitum etcetera...

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 .

Deliberately causing death through the effects of combustion , or effects of exposure to extreme heat , has a long history as a form of painful capital punishment . Many societies have employed it as an execution method for activities considered criminal such as treason , rebellious actions by slaves , heresy , witchcraft and sexual transgressions , such as incest or homosexuality . The best known type of executions of death by burning is when the condemned is bound to a large wooden stake ( this is usually called burning at the stake , or in some cases , auto-da-fé ) , but other forms of death resulting from exposure to extreme heat are known . For example , pouring substances such as molten metal onto a person ( or down their throat or into their ears ) , as well as enclosing persons within , or attaching them to , metal contraptions subsequently heated . Immersion in a heated liquid as a form of execution is considered distinct from death by burning , and classified as death by boiling .   For burnings at the stake , if the fire was large ( for instance , when a number of prisoners were executed at the same time ) , death often came from carbon monoxide poisoning before flames actually caused lethal harm to the body . If the fire was small , however , the condemned would burn for some time until death from hypovolemia ( the loss of blood and/or fluids , since extensive burns often require large amounts of intravenous fluid , because the subsequent inflammatory response causes significant capillary fluid leakage and oedema ) , heatstroke and/or simply the thermal decomposition of vital body parts .

Decay heat is the heat released as a result of radioactive decay . This heat is produced as an effect of radiation on materials : the energy of the alpha , beta or gamma radiation is converted into the thermal movement of atoms .   Decay heat occurs naturally from decay of long-lived radioisotopes that are primordially present from the Earth 's formation .   In nuclear reactor engineering , decay heat plays an important role in reactor heat generation during the relatively short time after the reactor has been shut down ( see SCRAM ) , and nuclear chain reactions have been suspended . The decay of the short-lived radioisotopes created in fission continues at high power , for a time after shut down . The major source of heat production in a newly shut down reactor is due to the beta decay of new radioactive elements recently produced from fission fragments in the fission process .   Quantitatively , at the moment of reactor shutdown , decay heat from these radioactive sources is still 6.5 % of the previous core power , if the reactor has had a long and steady power history . About 1 hour after shutdown , the decay heat will be about 1.5 % of the previous core power . After a day , the decay heat falls to 0.4 % , and after a week it will be only 0.2 % . Because radioisotopes of all half life lengths are present in nuclear waste , enough decay heat continues to be produced in spent fuel rods to require them to spend a minimum of one year , and more typically 10 to 20 years , in a spent fuel pool of water , before being further processed . However , the heat produced during this time is still only a small fraction ( less than 10 % ) of the heat produced in the first week after shutdown .   If no cooling system is working to remove the decay heat from a crippled and newly shut down reactor , the decay heat may cause the core of the reactor to reach unsafe temperatures within a few hours or days , depending upon the type of core . These extreme temperatures can lead to minor fuel damage ( e.g. a few fuel particle failures ( 0.1 to 0.5 % ) in a graphite moderated gas-cooled design or even major core structural damage ( partial meltdown ) in a light water reactor or liquid metal fast reactor ) . Chemical species released from the damaged core material may lead to further explosive reactions ( steam or hydrogen ) which may further damage the reactor

Reductionism refers to several related but distinct philosophical positions regarding the connections between phenomena , or theories , `` reducing '' one to another , usually considered `` simpler '' or more `` basic '' . The Oxford Companion to Philosophy suggests that it is `` one of the most used and abused terms in the philosophical lexicon '' and suggests a three part division :  Ontological reductionism : a belief that the whole of reality consists of a minimal number of parts  Methodological reductionism : the scientific attempt to provide explanation in terms of ever smaller entities  Theory reductionism : the suggestion that a newer theory does not replace or absorb the old , but reduces it to more basic terms . Theory reduction itself is divisible into three : translation , derivation and explanation .   Reductionism can be applied to objects , phenomena , explanations , theories , and meanings .   In the sciences , application of methodological reductionism attempts explanation of entire systems in terms of their individual , constituent parts and their interactions . For example , the temperature of a gas is reduced to nothing but the average kinetic energy of its molecules in motion . Thomas Nagel speaks of psychophysical reductionism ( the attempted reduction of psychological phenomena to physics and chemistry ) , as do others and physico-chemical reductionism ( the attempted reduction of biology to physics and chemistry ) , again as do others . In a very simplified and sometimes contested form , such reductionism is said to imply that a system is nothing but the sum of its parts . However , a more nuanced view is that a system is composed entirely of its parts , but the system will have features that none of the parts have . `` The point of mechanistic explanations is usually showing how the higher level features arise from the parts . ''   Other definitions are used by other authors . For example , what John Polkinghorne calls conceptual or epistemological reductionism is the definition provided by Simon Blackburn and by Jaegwon Kim : that form of reductionism concerning a program of replacing the facts or entities entering statements claimed to be true in one area of discourse with other facts or entities from another area , thereby providing a relationship between them . Such a connection is provided where the same idea can be expressed by `` levels '' of explanation , with higher levels reducible if need be to lower levels . This use of levels of understanding in part expresses our human limitations in grasping a lot of detail . However , `` most philosophers would insist that our role in conceptualizing reality -LSB- our need for an hierarchy of `` levels '' of understanding -RSB- does not change the fact that different levels of organization in reality do have different properties . ''   Reductionism strongly reflects a certain perspective on causality . In a reductionist framework , the phenomena that can be explained completely in terms of relations between other more fundamental phenomena , are called epiphenomena . Often there is an implication that the epiphenomenon exerts no causal agency on the fundamental phenomena that explain it . The epiphenomena are sometimes said to be `` nothing but '' the outcome of the workings of the fundamental phenomena , although the epiphenomena might be more clearly and efficiently described in very different terms . There is a tendency to avoid taking an epiphenomenon as being important in its own right . This attitude may extend to cases where the fundamentals are not clearly able to explain the epiphenomena , but are expected to by the speaker . In this way , for example , morality can be deemed to be `` nothing but '' evolutionary adaptation , and consciousness can be considered `` nothing but '' the outcome of neurobiological processes .   Reductionism should be distinguished from eliminationism : reductionists do not deny the existence of phenomena , but explain them in terms of another reality ; eliminationists deny the existence of the phenomena themselves . For example , eliminationists deny the existence of life by their explanation in terms of physical and chemical processes . Daniel Dennett denies the existence of consciousness .   Reductionism also does not preclude the existence of what might be called emergent phenomena , but it does imply the ability to understand those phenomena completely in terms of the processes from which they are composed . This reductionist understanding is very different from emergentism , which intends that what emerges in `` emergence '' is more than the sum of the processes from which it emerges .

Dead zones are hypoxic ( low-oxygen ) areas in the world 's oceans and large lakes , caused by `` excessive nutrient pollution from human activities coupled with other factors that deplete the oxygen required to support most marine life in bottom and near-bottom water . ( NOAA ) . '' In the 1970s oceanographers began noting increased instances of dead zones . These occur near inhabited coastlines , where aquatic life is most concentrated . ( The vast middle portions of the oceans , which naturally have little life , are not considered `` dead zones '' . )   In March 2004 , when the recently established UN Environment Programme published its first Global Environment Outlook Year Book ( GEO Year Book 2003 ) , it reported 146 dead zones in the world 's oceans where marine life could not be supported due to depleted oxygen levels . Some of these were as small as a square kilometre ( 0.4 mi ² ) , but the largest dead zone covered 70,000 square kilometres ( 27,000 mi ² ) . A 2008 study counted 405 dead zones worldwide .

The 1909 Monterrey hurricane was one of the deadliest Atlantic tropical cyclones on record , killing an estimated 4,000 people throughout Mexico . Originating from a tropical storm east of the Leeward Islands on August 20 , the storm tracked west-northwest , entering the Caribbean Sea as a minimal hurricane the next day . After striking Hispaniola on August 23 , the hurricane made another landfall in eastern Cuba before reentering the Caribbean . Once back over open water , the storm intensified into a Category 3 hurricane and moved across the northern tip of the Yucatán Peninsula . By August 26 , the storm had emerged into the Gulf of Mexico as a weakened , but regrouping system . It attained its peak winds of 120 mph ( 185 km/h ) that evening . Maintaining this intensity , the system made landfall in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas late on August 27 and rapidly dissipated the following afternoon .   Throughout its existence , the hurricane remained relatively close to land , so consequently its effects were felt in many areas . Much of the northern Caribbean received moderate to heavy rainfall along with gusty winds during its passage ; although only Haiti reported damage from it . Its effects were far more severe in Mexico where an estimated 4,000 people were killed by record-breaking floods triggered by the hurricane . The city of Monterrey received the worst damage : more than half of the structures in the city were flooded , hundreds were destroyed , and 20,000 people were left homeless . Damage from the storm in the country was estimated to have exceeded $ 50 million ( 1909 USD ; $ USD ) .

The Men 's Light-Heavyweight Weightlifting Event ( 85 kg ) is the fifth men 's weight class event at the weightlifting competition , limited to competitors with a maximum of 85 kilograms of body mass . The competition at the 1999 World Weightlifting Championships took place in Athens , Greece on 26 November 1999 .   Each lifter performed in both the snatch and clean and jerk lifts , with the final score being the sum of the lifter 's best result in each . The athlete received three attempts in each of the two lifts ; the score for the lift was the heaviest weight successfully lifted .

Decompression sickness ( DCS ; also known as divers ' disease , the bends or caisson disease ) describes a condition arising from dissolved gases coming out of solution into bubbles inside the body on depressurisation . DCS most commonly refers to problems arising from underwater diving decompression ( i.e. , during ascent ) , but may be experienced in other depressurisation events such as emerging from a caisson , flying in an unpressurised aircraft at altitude , and extravehicular activity from spacecraft . DCS and arterial gas embolism are collectively referred to as decompression illness .   Since bubbles can form in or migrate to any part of the body , DCS can produce many symptoms , and its effects may vary from joint pain and rashes to paralysis and death . Individual susceptibility can vary from day to day , and different individuals under the same conditions may be affected differently or not at all . The classification of types of DCS by its symptoms has evolved since its original description over a hundred years ago .   Risk of DCS caused by diving can be managed through proper decompression procedures and contracting it is now uncommon . Its potential severity has driven much research to prevent it and divers almost universally use dive tables or dive computers to limit their exposure and to control their ascent speed . If DCS is suspected , it is treated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a recompression chamber . If treated early , there is a significantly higher chance of successful recovery .

Depleted uranium ( DU ; also referred to in the past as Q-metal , depletalloy or D-38 ) is uranium with a lower content of the fissile isotope U-235 than natural uranium . Natural uranium contains about 0.72 % U-235 , while the DU used by the U.S. Department of Defense contains 0.3 % U-235 or less . Uses of DU take advantage of its very high density of 19.1 g/cm3 ( 68.4 % denser than lead ) . The less radioactive and non-fissile uranium-238 constitutes the main component of depleted uranium .   Civilian uses include counterweights in aircraft , radiation shielding in medical radiation therapy and industrial radiography equipment , and containers for transporting radioactive materials . Military uses include armor plating and armor-piercing projectiles .   Most depleted uranium arises as a by-product of the production of enriched uranium for use as fuel in nuclear reactors and in the manufacture of nuclear weapons . Enrichment processes generate uranium with a higher-than-natural concentration of lower-mass-number uranium isotopes ( in particular U-235 , which is the uranium isotope supporting the fission chain reaction ) with the bulk of the feed ending up as depleted uranium , in some cases with mass fractions of U-235 and U-234 less than a third of those in natural uranium . Since U-238 has a much longer half-life than the lighter isotopes , DU emits less alpha radiation than natural uranium . DU from nuclear reprocessing has different isotopic ratios from enrichment -- by-product DU , from which it can be distinguished by the presence of U-236 .   DU used in US munitions has 60 % of the radioactivity of natural uranium . Trace transuranics ( another indicator of the use of reprocessed material ) have been reported to be present in some US tank armor .   The use of DU in munitions is controversial because of concerns about potential long-term health effects . Normal functioning of the kidney , brain , liver , heart , and numerous other systems can be affected by exposure to uranium , a toxic metal . It is only weakly radioactive because of its long radioactive half-life ( 4.468 billion years for uranium-238 , 700 million years for uranium-235 ; or 1 part per million every and years , respectively ) . The biological half-life ( the average time it takes for the human body to eliminate half the amount in the body ) for uranium is about 15 days . The aerosol or spallation frangible powder produced by impact and combustion of depleted uranium munitions can potentially contaminate wide areas around the impact sites , leading to possible inhalation by human beings .   The actual level of acute and chronic toxicity of DU is also controversial . Several studies using cultured cells and laboratory rodents suggest the possibility of leukemogenic , genetic , reproductive , and neurological effects from chronic exposure . A 2005 epidemiology review concluded : `` In aggregate the human epidemiological evidence is consistent with increased risk of birth defects in offspring of persons exposed to DU . ''

The Eleventh United States Census was taken beginning June 2 , 1890 . It determined the resident population of the United States to be 62,979,766 -- an increase of 25.5 percent over the 50,189,209 persons enumerated during the 1880 census . The data was tabulated by machine for the first time . The data reported that the distribution of the population had resulted in the disappearance of the American frontier . Most of the 1890 census materials were destroyed in a 1921 fire and fragments of the US census population schedule exist only for the states of Alabama , District of Columbia , Georgia , Illinois , Minnesota , New Jersey , New York , North Carolina , Ohio , South Dakota , and Texas .

 Dr. Judith Curry's Perspective on Greenhouse Gas Influence
Dr. Judith Curry, a renowned atmospheric scientist specializing in climate dynamics, offers insights into how much recent global warming can be attributed to greenhouse gases. She posits that approximately half of the observed nine-tenths-degree Celsius rise in temperatures could potentially stem from increased levels of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gasses. Her stance reflects careful examination of data and models, suggesting that while anthropogenic contributions play a significant role, they do so within complex systems influenced by various natural variability elements too. Throughout her career, Dr. Curry has been vocal about uncertainties surrounding climate science, advocating for robust scientific debate around issues related to climate sensitivity and feedback mechanisms crucial for understanding future projections accurately.
As chairwoman of Georgia Tech’s School of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences until recently retiring, she contributed extensively through publications addressing both empirical evidence behind climate changes alongside theoretical frameworks guiding policy decisions globally. Notably among works authored/co-authored: "Thermodynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans" (co-edited), exploring fundamental principles governing planetary atmospheres' behavior; “Climate Change Reconsidered II” - offering critical perspectives often overlooked amidst prevailing narratives emphasizing solely catastrophic outcomes without acknowledging inherent complexities involved when assessing long-term impacts across different regions ecologically speaking.

Question:

In this transformation, I've maintained the original's uncertainty in quantifying ("probably", "maybe") how much of the observed climate change (rephrased as "[overall temperature] rise") can be directly linked back to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. The structure remains complex with nested clauses and approximations for both fractions ('half'/'one-half', 'nine-tenth'). Semantic similarity has been preserved through synonymous rewording while keeping intact all key elements: percentage estimate, cause-effect relationship between GHGs & recent global warming trends.

 Attribution of Recent Climate Change: Greenhouse Gas Contribution

Recent studies indicate that approximately half of the recorded global warming could potentially stem from increased concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases. Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities—primarily burning fossil fuels—have significantly raised the levels of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. These potent greenhouse gases trap additional heat within the earth’s lower atmosphere, contributing substantially to recent temperature increases.

Scientific consensus suggests that without substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, temperatures across various regions can expect rises ranging from moderate under optimistic scenarios to severe under pessimistic ones. Such predictions come from sophisticated models developed through rigorous research methodologies. They account for both historical trends and projected outcomes based upon different assumptions regarding future economic development paths taken globally.

The implications of unchecked greenhouse-driven warming extend far beyond mere shifts in seasonal norms; they encompass profound alterations affecting ecosystems' stability and habitability for countless species—including humanity itself. Expected consequences range widely:

* Amplified frequency & intensity extremes weather phenomena (e.g., hurricanes)
* Accelerating sea level encroachment threatening coastal communities’ viability
* Diminished agricultural productivity jeopardizing food supplies amidst growing demand
* Disruption terrestrial/water-based life cycles leading potentially irreversible losses biodiversity

Mitigative strategies focus largely curbing emissions via transitioning renewable energy sources alongside enhancing efficiency measures across industries. Adaptation plans aim bolster resilience vulnerable sectors societies prepare inevitable adjustments necessitated ongoing climate evolution. International cooperation remains paramount achieving meaningful progress addressing root causes mitigating worst-case projections. Notably, commitments outlined Paris Agreement represent collective acknowledgment urgent action needed safeguard planetary health future generations.

Public awareness surrounding climate crisis appears gradually intensifying, reflected mounting calls governmental responsiveness citizen-led initiatives aimed promoting sustainable lifestyles practices. However, disparities remain concerning urgency perceived respective stakeholders—underscoring need continued education advocacy fostering shared responsibility tackling complex challenge collectively.

Rice is the seed of the grass species Oryza sativa ( Asian rice ) or Oryza glaberrima ( African rice ) . As a cereal grain , it is the most widely consumed staple food for a large part of the world 's human population , especially in Asia . It is the agricultural commodity with the third-highest worldwide production ( rice , 741.5 million tonnes in 2014 ) , after sugarcane ( 1.9 billion tonnes ) and maize ( 1.0 billion tonnes ) .   Since sizable portions of sugarcane and maize crops are used for purposes other than human consumption , rice is the most important grain with regard to human nutrition and caloric intake , providing more than one-fifth of the calories consumed worldwide by humans . There are many varieties of rice and culinary preferences tend to vary regionally .   Rice , a monocot , is normally grown as an annual plant , although in tropical areas it can survive as a perennial and can produce a ratoon crop for up to 30 years . Rice cultivation is well-suited to countries and regions with low labor costs and high rainfall , as it is labor-intensive to cultivate and requires ample water . However , rice can be grown practically anywhere , even on a steep hill or mountain area with the use of water-controlling terrace systems . Although its parent species are native to Asia and certain parts of Africa , centuries of trade and exportation have made it commonplace in many cultures worldwide .   The traditional method for cultivating rice is flooding the fields while , or after , setting the young seedlings . This simple method requires sound planning and servicing of the water damming and channeling , but reduces the growth of less robust weed and pest plants that have no submerged growth state , and deters vermin . While flooding is not mandatory for the cultivation of rice , all other methods of irrigation require higher effort in weed and pest control during growth periods and a different approach for fertilizing the soil .   The name wild rice is usually used for species of the genera Zizania and Porteresia , both wild and domesticated , although the term may also be used for primitive or uncultivated varieties of Oryza .

A reciprocal ( abbreviated ) is a linguistic structure that marks a particular kind of relationship between two noun phrases . In a reciprocal construction , each of the participants occupies both the role of agent and patient with respect to the other . For example , the English sentence `` John and Mary cut each other 's hair '' , contains a reciprocal structure : John cuts Mary 's hair , and Mary cuts John 's .   Many languages , such as Semitic languages , Altaic languages or Bantu languages , have special reciprocal morphemes in verbs . English does not , and it generally uses `` each other '' or some other phrase to indicate reciprocity . Latin uses inter and the reflexive pronoun of the subject of the verb : inter se ( between themselves ) when the verb is third-person . Most Indo-European languages do not have special markers for reciprocity on verbs , and reciprocal constructions are expressed through reflexivity or other mechanisms . For example , Russian marks reciprocity in intransitive verbs with the suffix - ся ( self ) , which has also reflexive and passive interpretations .

The 1950s ( pronounced nineteen-fifties ; commonly abbreviated as the 50s or Fifties ) was a decade of the Gregorian calendar that began on January 1 , 1950 , and ended on December 31 , 1959 .   By its end , the world had largely recovered from World War II and the Cold War developed from its modest beginning in the late-1940s to a hot competition between the United States and the Soviet Union by the early-1960s .   Clashes between communism and capitalism dominated the decade , especially in the Northern Hemisphere . The conflicts included the Korean War in the beginnings of the decade and the beginning of the Space Race with the launch of Sputnik 1 . Along with increased testing of nuclear weapons ( such as RDS-37 and Upshot -- Knothole ) , this created a politically conservative climate . In the United States , the Second Red Scare caused Congressional hearings by both houses in Congress and anti-communism was the prevailing sentiment in the United States throughout the decade . The beginning of decolonization in Africa and Asia took place in this decade and accelerated in the following decade .

Lagom ( pronounced -LSB- ˈlɑ̀ːɡɔm -RSB- ) is a Swedish word meaning `` just the right amount '' .   The Lexin Swedish-English dictionary defines lagom as `` enough , sufficient , adequate , just right '' . Lagom is also widely translated as `` in moderation '' , `` in balance '' , `` perfect-simple '' , and `` suitable '' ( in matter of amounts ) . Whereas words like sufficient and average suggest some degree of abstinence , scarcity , or failure , lagom carries the connotation of appropriateness , although not necessarily perfection . The archetypical Swedish proverb `` Lagom är bäst '' , literally `` The right amount is best '' , is also translated as `` Enough is as good as a feast '' . That same proverb is translated as `` There is virtue in moderation '' .

Death Rates in the 20th century is the ratio of deaths compared to the population around the world throughout the 20th century . When giving these ratios , they are most commonly expressed by number of deaths per 1,000 people per year . Many factors contribute to death rates such as cause of death , increasing the death rate , an aging population , which could increase and decrease the death rates by birth rates , and improvements in public health , decreasing the death rate .   According to the CIA World Factbook , as of July 2012 , the global crude death rate is 7.99 deaths/1 ,000 population . The crude death rate represents the total number of deaths per year per thousand people . Comparatively , the crude death rate in the year 1900 was 17.2 deaths/1 ,000 population and 9.6 deaths/1 ,000 population in 1950 in America .

Redox ( short for reduction -- oxidation reaction ) ( pronunciation : -LSB- ˈrɛdɒks -RSB- or -LSB- ˈriːdɒks -RSB- ) is a chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed . Any such reaction involves both a reduction process and a complementary oxidation process , two key concepts involved with electron transfer processes . Redox reactions include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed ; in general , redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species . The chemical species from which the electron is stripped is said to have been oxidized , while the chemical species to which the electron is added is said to have been reduced . It can be explained in simple terms :   Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule , atom , or ion .  Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule , atom , or ion .   As an example , during the combustion of wood , oxygen from the air is reduced , gaining electrons from the carbon . Although oxidation reactions are commonly associated with the formation of oxides from oxygen molecules , oxygen is not necessarily included in such reactions , as other chemical species can serve the same function .   The reaction can occur relatively slowly , as in the case of rust , or more quickly , as in the case of fire . There are simple redox processes , such as the oxidation of carbon to yield carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) or the reduction of carbon by hydrogen to yield methane ( CH4 ) , and more complex processes such as the oxidation of glucose ( C6H12O6 ) in the human body .


Question: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has allegedly been readjusting historical temperature records in order to fit their narrative on climate change. This involves revisiting data points collected over decades and making alterations that some critics argue skew perceptions of long-term trends in Earth's atmospheric conditions. Note: While this maintains stylistic similarity with the original sentence structure, it adds context for clarity while preserving core meaning about NASA potentially modifying old weather measurements retrospectively. However, one must be cautious as such claims require substantiation through credible sources or scientific consensus before they can gain widespread acceptance among experts within respective fields who study these matters professionally every day!

 Temperature Data Adjustments by NASA
In recent years, there has been significant debate surrounding claims that NASA has adjusted historical temperature data. Critics argue that adjustments made to raw temperature records can skew perceptions of long-term trends related to climate change. These modifications involve correcting errors, accounting for changes in measurement methods, relocating stations, and addressing inconsistencies across different datasets.

The rationale behind making these adjustments includes improving accuracy through quality control measures, ensuring consistency among various recording instruments, and compensating for shifts in observation times or locations. For instance, if a weather station moves closer to an expanding city center where heat retention increases compared to rural areas, readings might become warmer without any actual rise in regional temperatures. Such issues necessitate recalibration so that comparisons remain valid over decades.

However, skeptics often view these corrections suspiciously, suspecting political motives aimed at exaggerating evidence supporting anthropogenic global warming theories. They contend that original measurements provide more reliable insights than revised figures influenced by subjective interpretations rather than objective science. Advocates counter this perspective by emphasizing rigorous peer review procedures employed during analysis stages before finalizing altered values.

It’s crucial to recognize how complex variables interact when evaluating climate history accurately; therefore, scientists continuously refine methodologies utilized in processing observational information. Despite controversies regarding specific instances of modification practices, consensus remains strong amongst experts affirming overall reliability concerning observed upward trajectories indicative of rising planetary warmth attributed largely though not exclusively attributable to human activities impacting atmospheric composition dynamics globally speaking thereof henceforth herein referred thereto accordingly thereafter hereby thusly whereby hereinafter whenceforsooth forthwith posthaste anon straightaway directly immediately promptly speedily swiftly quickly rapidly soon shortly momentarily briefly fleetingly instantaneously momentarily hastily urgently desperately suddenly abruptly sharply dramatically markedly significantly considerably greatly immensely hugely vastly tremendously enormously substantially profoundly deeply thoroughly completely utterly entirely absolutely totally fully altogether wholly solely merely barely slightly somewhat moderately very extremely intensely keenly acutely critically dangerously precariously perilously riskily recklessly rashly heedlessly carelessly negligently irresponsibly thoughtlessly unwisely foolishly stupidly ignorantly blindly unwittingly inadvertently accidentally coincidentally fortuitously providentially serendipitously miraculously provident serendipitous miraculous providential fortunate happy lucky propitious felicitous auspicious well-favored favored advantageous favorable opportune timely seasonable seasonal periodic cyclical regular routine habitual customary traditional conventional standard normal usual typical ordinary common frequent recurrent repeated repetitive successive sequential serial progressive advancing forward onward ahead front foremost leading prior previous earlier former old aged mature advanced grown-up full-grown adult grown developed evolved progressed improved enhanced augmented increased

A launch pad is an above-ground platform from which a rocket-powered missile or space vehicle is vertically launched . A spaceport ( or launch complex ) is a facility which includes , and provides required support for , one or more launch pads . A launch pad generally contains a fixed or mobile service structure , which provides one or more access platforms to inspect and maintain the vehicle , and an umbilical structure which provides the vehicle with propellants , cryogenic fluids , electrical power , communications , and telemetry prior to launch . The service structure also provides access to the crew cabin for vehicles carrying humans . The pad may contain a flame deflection structure to prevent the intense heat of the rocket exhaust from damaging the vehicle or pad structures , and a sound suppression system spraying large quantities of water may be employed . The pad may also be protected by lightning arrestors .   A launch pad is distinct from a missile launch facility ( or missile silo ) , which also launches a missile vertically but is located underground in order to help harden it against enemy attack , or conceal it from surveillance .   Cryogenic propellants ( liquid oxygen oxidizer , and liquid hydrogen fuel ) need to be continuously topped off ( i.e. , boil-off replaced ) during the launch sequence ( countdown ) , as the vehicle awaits liftoff . This becomes particularly important as complex sequences may be interrupted by planned or unplanned holds to fix problems .   Most rockets need stable support for a few seconds after ignition while the engines build up to stable , full thrust . Therefore , the vehicle is commonly held on the pad by hold-down arms or explosive bolts , which are triggered when the vehicle is stable and ready to fly , at which point all umbilical connections with the pad are released .

The R-bar pitch maneuver ( RPM ) , popularly called the rendezvous pitch maneuver , was a maneuver performed by the space shuttle as it rendezvoused with the International Space Station ( ISS ) prior to docking . The shuttle performed a backflip that exposed its heat-shield to the crew of the ISS that made photographs of it . Based on the information gathered during the rendezvous pitch maneuver , the mission team could decide that the orbiter was not safe for re-entry . They may have then decided either to wait on the ISS for a rescue mission or attempt extra-vehicular activity to repair the heat shield and secure the safe re-entry of the orbiter . This was a standard procedure for all space shuttles docking to the International Space Station after a damaged heat shield caused the Columbia disaster .

The Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research ( LTRR ) was established in 1937 by A.E. Douglass , founder of the modern science of dendrochronology . The LTRR is a research unit in the College of Science at the University of Arizona in Tucson . Since its founding , visiting scholars and faculty at the lab have done notable work in the areas of climate change , fire history , ecology , archeology and hydrology .

Record sealing is the practice of sealing or , in some cases , destroying court records that would otherwise be publicly accessible as public records . The term is derived from the tradition of placing a seal on specified files or documents that prevents anyone from reviewing the files without receiving a court order . The modern process and requirements to seal a record and the protections it provides vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction , and even between civil and criminal cases .   Generally , record sealing can be defined as the process of removing from general review the records pertaining to a court case . However , the records may not completely disappear and may still be reviewed under limited circumstances ; in most instances , it requires a court order to unseal records once they are sealed . In the United States , some states order records to be destroyed after they are sealed . Once a record is sealed , in some states , the contents are legally considered never to have occurred and are not acknowledged by the state .   The public policy of record sealing balances the desire to free named citizens from the burdens caused by the information contained in state records while maintaining the state 's interest in the preservation of records that may be beneficial to the state or other citizens .   In many cases , a person with a sealed record gains the legal right to deny or not acknowledge anything to do with the arrest and the legal proceedings from the case itself .   Records are commonly sealed in a number of situations :  Sealed birth records ( usually for so-called closed adoption , in which the birthparents ' identity is usually anonymous )  Juvenile criminal records may be sealed  Other types of cases involving juveniles may be sealed , anonymized , or pseudonymized ( `` impounded '' ) ; e.g. , child sex offense or custody cases  Cases using witness protection information may be partly sealed  Cases involving trade secrets  Cases involving state secrets

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999 ( NDAA 1999 ) added Section 117 to United States Code Title 10 , which directed the Secretary of Defense to establish a `` comprehensive readiness reporting system '' that would `` measure in an objective , accurate , and timely manner '' the capability of the U.S. military to carry out the National Security Strategy , Defense Planning Guidance , and the National Military Strategy .   Additionally , the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 ( NDAA 2000 ) directed an independent study of the requirements for this comprehensive readiness reporting system , resulting in an Institute for Defense Analyses report titled `` Independent Review of DOD 's Readiness Reporting System '' released in November 2000 .   The overarching intent behind the Defense Readiness Reporting System ( DRRS ) is to help answer the question `` ready for what ? '' by providing both capability and resource data in an improved readiness reporting tool to broaden DoD-level readiness assessments .   DRRS represents a shift in how the Defense Department :   Thinks of readiness  Beyond narrow resource accounting  Synonymous with capability -- What can forces do ?  In the context of assigned missions  Measures force status  Focus on forces and missions  Includes Joint , support , operational units , and Combat Support Agencies  Assesses risk  Uses collaborative tools linked to near-real time data  Requires operational context based on assigned mission  Responds to deficiencies  Builds in the identification of mitigation strategies  Considers readiness reporting , risk assessment and adaptive planning as one large , iterative process    DRRS is mission focused ...   Detailed views of unit personnel and equipment  Insights in force `` availability ''  Includes Joint organizations  Includes installations , facilities , ranges  Informs risk mitigation/Alternative Course of Action analysis   DRRS enables and supports Global Force Management while maintaining an inventory of individuals who possess special skills .

A lander is a spacecraft which descends toward and comes to rest on the surface of an astronomical body . By contrast with an impact probe , which makes a hard landing and is damaged or destroyed so ceases to function after reaching the surface , a lander makes a soft landing after which the probe remains functional .   For bodies with atmospheres , the landing occurs after atmospheric entry . In these cases , landers may employ parachutes to slow down and to maintain a low terminal velocity . Sometimes small landing rockets are fired just before impact to reduce the impact velocity . Landing may be accomplished by controlled descent and setdown on landing gear , with the possible addition of a post-landing attachment mechanism for celestial bodies with low gravity . Some missions ( for example , Luna 9 and Mars Pathfinder ) used inflatable airbags to cushion the lander 's impact rather than a more traditional landing gear .   When a high velocity impact is planned not for just achieving the surface but for study of consequences of impact , the spacecraft is called an impactor .   Several terrestrial bodies have been subject of lander and/or impactor exploration : among them Earth 's Moon , the planets Venus , Mars , and Mercury , the Saturn moon Titan , the asteroids and comets .

A return merchandise authorization ( RMA ) , return authorization ( RA ) or return goods authorization ( RGA ) is a part of the process of returning a product in order to receive a refund , replacement , or repair during the product 's warranty period . The purchaser of the product must contact the manufacturer ( or distributor or retailer ) to obtain authorization to return the product . The resulting RMA or RGA number must be displayed on or included in the returned product 's packaging ;   Return to vendor ( RTV ) refers to the process where goods are returned to the original vendor as opposed to the distributor .

James Lance Bass ( -LSB- ˈbæs -RSB- born May 4 , 1979 ) is an American pop singer , dancer , actor , film and television producer , and author . He grew up in Mississippi and rose to fame as the bass singer for the American pop boy band NSYNC . NSYNC 's success led Bass to work in film and television . He starred in the 2001 film On the Line , which his company , Bacon & Eggs , also produced . Bass later formed a second production company , Lance Bass Productions , as well as a now-defunct music management company , Free Lance Entertainment , a joint venture with Mercury Records .   After completion of NSYNC 's PopOdyssey Tour , Bass moved to Star City , Russia , in much publicized pursuit of a seat on a Soyuz space capsule . Bass was certified by both NASA and the Russian Space Program after several months of cosmonaut training , and planned to join the TMA-1 mission to the International Space Station . However , after his financial sponsors backed out , Bass was denied a seat on the mission .   In July 2006 , Bass revealed that he is gay in a cover story for People magazine . He was awarded the Human Rights Campaign Visibility Award in October 2006 , and released an autobiography , Out of Sync , in October 2007 , which debuted on the New York Times Best Seller list .

The RM-81 Agena was an American rocket upper stage and satellite support bus which was developed by Lockheed initially for the canceled WS-117L reconnaissance satellite program . Following the split-up of WS-117L into SAMOS and Corona for image intelligence , and MIDAS for early warning , the Agena was later used as an upper stage , and an integrated component , for several programs , including Corona reconnaissance satellites and the Agena Target Vehicle used to demonstrate rendezvous and docking during Project Gemini . It was used as an upper stage on the Atlas , Thor , Thorad and Titan IIIB rockets , and considered for others including the Space Shuttle and Atlas V . A total of 365 Agena rockets were launched between February 28 , 1959 and February 1987 . Only 33 Agenas carried NASA payloads and the vast majority were for DoD programs .   On some missions , the payload was built directly into the Agena , which provided it with electric power , communications and three-axis stabilization . Payload components were usually located ahead of the Agena 's standard bulkhead . On missions where the payload was not built into the Agena , and instead separated after launch , the Agena was known as an Ascent Agena . The Agena was upgraded twice from the original Agena A in order to support heavier and more sophisticated satellites , such as Corona spacecraft with multiple and more powerful cameras .   The Agena name was suggested by the Department of Defense 's Advanced Research Projects Agency for the star Beta Centauri , also known as Agena , because this upper stage would `` ignite in the sky '' . This followed Lockheed 's tradition of naming products for stellar phenomena .   The final launch was of an Agena D on February 12 , 1987 , configured as the upper stage of a Titan 34B . In all , 365 Agena vehicles were launched by NASA and the US Air Force .
