Well, I for one like seeing sports on TV that I would normally not be interested in watching. “So what in the world makes for a good luge competitor?”
That's funny – I would think of author interviews as being somewhat fun for the authors. All your work writing is done, and now you just sit back and answer questions in an authoritative manner. I suppose, though, that it helps if the interviewer is really engaged with the interviewee. I listened to donroc's interview for his book a while back, and if I recall correctly, the interviewer sounded like he was checking off questions when he was talking to Donald. I realize that unless you've listened to the show before (or it's a major, national journalist asking you the questions) you might not know how the interview will go.
Fortunately for us, they made a prediction that can be confirmed/denied within a short timespan. Now we can point to erroneous predictions as being based on faulty calculations, which reduces confidence in their other predictions. The bigger problem is when people make predictions about dire consequences 30 years from now and want us to spend billions (if not more) to change the course of events today.
Well congratulations on getting the project completed. That must be nice to see your writing in print. Have you been sending copies out to survival-type blogs/websites?
Well, considering that art predated writing, it would have to be some sort of manipulated item. There may be utentils/tools older than this, but the Hohlenstein-Stadel lion-man dates to about 30,000 B.C. http://www.proprofs.com/flashcards/upload/q11250728.jpgI believe there are probably older items out there, but the lion-man is one of the cooler items, IMO.
Here is a timeline of the next hundred quintillion years or so.http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20140105-timeline-of-the-far-futureI noticed on there the thing about the KEO Time Capsule, which was originally supposed to launch in 2003 (and subsequent years) and is now scheduled for launch in 2014. It will go into space and return to Earth in 50,000 years.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KEO
I think you may be reading too much into the article. First, I don't see where it really mentions “Global Warming”; at least it certainly is not a main theme of the article. The research it's reporting is on climate events that are influenced by Chinese pollution – but not global warming (at least not explicitly). Second, the first quote you took was drawn from the article, rather than from the mouth of Zhang. We all know that journalists can sometimes distort things they report on, so the wording the author used might be different than the words used by Zhang. Third, as to your second quote, I think that it's entirely permissible for a scientist to see a correlation and want to study it further. Zhang actually used the word “appears” (in a direct quote), which indicates he is not 100% sure. This entices him to study the issue further.
Well it's been about six months since my workouts began, and my total weight loss is at around 10 lbs. Funny how little weight I've lost over such a long time and many workouts.
Whoa…..kind of cool, weird, trippy, strange…all of the above. One thing I can say is that the art is not of the original artists, but of Tagliafierro's own making.
That last photo of the surrendering Japanese soldier is amazing. His story sounds really interesting, especially how he "befriended' the Japanese school-dropout.
