Read the Federalist papers, where the framers provided insight on why the constitution representstionwas formulated. It was in the last century when Senate seat were voted for. Previously state governments. Generally the governor appointed senators. This was to assure the protection and sovereignty of the states. Interesting an insightful reading.

The first link was to a Goddard press conference. The next four links were to the list of all publications that Goddard published in each of the last 4 years. The last link was to the Berkley site pointing to no papers because the link was to their home page. So if you want me to spend days trawling through documents because you decided to send me on a snipe hunt (google it). No not me, I'm stopping here.

First I will state that I have not looked at the data. I caution others to make sure that they reference peer-reviewed studies before making claims. It is very difficult to hypothesis climate change since the earth continuously goes through climatic cycles. So 1 or 2 seasons of fires in California do not represent an irreversible trend. There are other factors affecting the fires in California that will be identified once a root cause forensic review has been completed.

The problem is real, unfortunately the politicians are way behind. The good news there will be jobs. The bad news very few policy makers have a clue. The start is a change in education toward a European model of free education with 2 tracks one toward university and primarily sciences and the other technical/vocational with an optional extension beyond HS. This also enables easier changes to core curriculums.

System in should be able to provide metrics and performance data to enable you to carry out your responsibilities. If you need hands on get access to test systems.

Babies feel pain after 20 weeks. Should a women's right to choose include inflicting a painful death? A baby in a mother's womb is a separate life which is dependent on the mother As is a newborn. In fact the child is dependent on the mother and father for years after birth. Some bioethicists believe that this post birth dependency justifies infanticide, for that matter why not the elderly or those with severe disabilities. It is society's responsibility to protect the most vulnerable. 57. million children killed since Roe v Wade. People should assume responsibility for the life they created and stop throwing dead babies on a dung pile in some waste dump!

This is the IT world we work in. Projects complete, de-scope and sometimes cancel. Companies are moving more work to contractors both on shore, high level skills, and off shore, commodity skills. Normal application management and infrastructure is more easily moved to lower cost off shore. Workers in our industry for the most part are adapting to this model.
