climate change is occurring much more rapidly than originally predicted, because of feedback loops, and that the polar ice caps may be entirely gone by 2020, not by 2050 as was earlier predicted. The world’s leading scientists also say that delayed action will increase the risk of adverse environmental effects and will likely increase the cost. The melting glaciers and ice caps will have, and in places are already having, major impacts on coastal and inland communities, cause social and economic upheavals

The Warm Blue Dot: Evidence for Anthropological Global Warming Introduction Throughout the long history of the Earth, the global climate has fluctuated drastically, ranging from tropical to glacial. In the mid-18th century, the Industrial Revolution began, and humanity began a bilateral campaign: one waged with the goal of achieving a prosperous, industrialized future, and another, inadvertently waged against the environment. The purpose of this literature review is to examine the influence of anthropological

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is a gothic novel that was wrote during the 1800s, or other known as the enlightenment era. During this era, the ideas of discovering the natural law of the universe and the thirst for scientific knowledge were being spread all across Europe. Mary Shelley incorporates these ideas with Victor Frankenstein's thirst for dangerous knowledge, and through allusions of Prometheus and the Genesis story. Shelley not only incorporates other supplementary readings into Frankenstein

Climate Change Climate change is an ever growing danger to us and the planet and the effects of it will be catastrophic. Climate change will make the global temperatures rise which will melt the polar ice caps putting many species at risk for extinction, it will also cause much stronger hurricanes and tornados and other weather related problems, and the scary part is; there currently is no real marketable solution to climate change that would not lower our living standards to what we had before the

companies and political leaders have used their power for their own purposes as well as to push legislature to pass through the White House and become law by financing their campaigns and helping the candidates to win elections. One of those laws was the caps on punitive damages through tort reform. The first case that is discussed is Liebeck v. McDonald’s Rests or “Hot Coffee” as it is well known for. Stella Liebeck suffered immense burn damage on her thighs when a coffee from McDonald spilled over her

TD Bank would need to take into account when managing interest rate risk the effect of on its net income and net interest income in order to evaluate the input of noninterest income and operating outlays toward the interest rate risk exposure. In particular, a bank with significant fee income should assess the extent to which that fee income is sensitive to rate vicissitudes. From a capital perspective, a bank should consider how intermediate (two years to five years) and long-term (more than five

factors used in later stages. Using this concept, [eq:piece_overlap_1] is re-defined as:R_{1}\left(\boldsymbol{t}_{p}\right)=\sum_{\boldsymbol{x}\in p}\sum_{\left\langle p,q\right\rangle \in\zeta}\left\Vert \psi_{p}\boldsymbol{T}_{p}\left(\boldsymbol{x}\right)-\psi_{q}T_{q}\left(\boldsymbol{x}\right)\right\Vert ^{2}where \psi_{p} and \psi_{q} are the confidence factors for the p-th and the q-th pieces respectively. Regularization term [eq:piece_overlap_1] is summed up for all pieces to provide inter-piece

197,000 square kilometers is home to an estimated 13 million people and 11 national languages. One of the must-see cities in Senegal is the bustling city of Dakar, the capital of the country. Dakar is the westernmost mainland city, located on the Cap-Vert Peninsula. It has booming markets and the IFAN Museum of West African culture, Darkar is also the home to the tallest statue in Africa, the African Renaissance Monument, which stands at 160 Ft (49 m) tall. Dakar is home to a large Lebanese community

we used the synthetic deformation as the ground truth and measured a rooted mean squared deformation error (RMDE):\mbox{RMDE}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{N_{M_{g}}}\sum_{\boldsymbol{x}\in M_{g}}\left\Vert \boldsymbol{T}_{\mbox{reg}}\left(\boldsymbol{x}\right)-\boldsymbol{T}_{\mbox{known}}\left(\boldsymbol{x}\right)\right\Vert ^{2}}where \boldsymbol{T}_{\mbox{reg}} and \boldsymbol{T}_{\mbox{known}} are the registered and known deformation field, respectively; M_{g} is a mask image derived from the target image
