Cataracts are clusters of proteins that build up on the lens of the eye, causing it to cloud over. Cataracts can affect vision to the point that routine tasks become difficult. The only effective treatment is cataract surgery, which removes a damaged lens and replaces it with an intraocular lens.
A common concern among individuals who are diagnosed with cataracts is how cataracts interfere with driving. In their early stages cataracts probably won’t affect driving at all, but eventually driving can become unsafe. Here, eye doctors from Byrd & Wyandotte Eye Clinic, which serves Detroit, Dearborn Heights, and Lincoln Park, MI, explain how cataracts affect vision, and specifically, how they can interfere with driving.
How Cataracts Can Affect Driving
Cataracts are a progressive condition that compromise vision over time. As proteins build up, the lens takes on a foggy or cloudy appearance. Cataracts can cause a general blurring of the vision (like looking through a foggy window) and make it difficult to distinguish fine details and colors. As cataracts compromise vision, they can interfere with driving. Some potential driving issues for people with cataracts include:
- Poor or unclear central vision
- Difficulty reading traffic or street signs
- Double vision
- Difficulty distinguishing colors of stop lights or other traffic signals
- Difficulty seeing in bright light
Cataracts and Night Driving
Cataracts can interfere with driving during the day, but their effects are particularly noticeable at night. Cataracts cause issues with contrast and light. Cataracts also block light from entering the eye, so people need more light to see clearly. The dark conditions make night driving difficult, but this is further impacted by the fact that individuals with moderate to advanced cataracts often experience glares or halos around sources of light. Headlights, streetlights, and signal lights can all create visual disturbances that make it unsafe to drive at night with cataracts.
As cataracts progress and begin to interfere with daily functions, like driving, it is time to consider cataract surgery. During cataract surgery the cataract is broken up and the natural lens of the eye is removed. An intraocular lens (IOL) is put in place of the natural lens. This artificial lens acts like a contact lens. IOLs come in a variety of prescription options, so they provide a clear lens that allows light into the eye, and they are also able to correct common refractive errors that cause nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
Can I Drive After Cataract Surgery?
Cataract surgery is highly effective at improving eyesight and eliminating visual disturbances that can interfere with driving. Even if people experience minor visual impairment after cataract surgery, it can usually be corrected through the use of prescription eyeglasses. The majority of patients are able to resume driving and all other routine activities once they have fully healed from cataract surgery.
If you are suffering from cataracts that interfere with driving or other day-to-day activities it is probably time to consider cataract surgery. To learn more about cataract treatment, send us a message online, or call (734) 284-2444 and schedule an appointment at Byrd & Wyandotte Eye Clinic.

text: A handful of neighbors in the Sunnyside area celebrated Earth Day on Saturday, April 22 by cleaning up a much-neglected strip of land along Hawthorne Avenue. As far as we know, this is city-owned property which has been overgrown and used as a dump site for several years. It was an eyesore and a hazard. Our cleanup efforts included garbage pickup, leaf raking, and brush cutting. We hauled away garbage, packed leaf bags, and stacked branches. Shelton Public Works picked up the 20-plus leaf bags, but declined to pick up the branches. Reason given: \u201cWe don\u2019t do that [pick up branches].\u201d So who does? We are proud of our progress to date and have more cleanup to do. We walk our dogs, play with our children, and visit our neighbors in this neighborhood, and want it treated with respect. This year, Earth Day served as a call to action in caring for our communal space. It remains an inspiration for the hands-on outreach beyond our front yards. We did a lot of good work in partnership with each other. We hope the City of Shelton will partner with us for these cleanups and other initiatives that benefit our community.

Even if it raises more questions than provides answers, French director Julia Ducournau’s (Raw) mysterious new thriller, Titane, released its first trailer today.
Starring Agathe Rousselle and Vincent Lindon, the film’s plot has been kept under wraps, but speaking to Le Monde last month, the filmmaker defined her project as a thriller that follows a father and a son. “A young man with a bruised face is discovered in an airport. He says his name is Adrien Legrand, a child who disappeared 10 years ago. As he’s finally reunited with his father, gruesome murders are piling up in the region“, says the synopsis.
Titane will be present at the Cannes Film Festival.

I’m catching up on my podcast listening. I always check to see if there is a new Pulp Gamer episode of any kind first. And sure enough there was a new Out Of Character. In fact there are two. This is feedback on the first – Elder Pronunciation Gods.
The first thing to mention is Ron Blessing is back. This is a good thing. Ron brings good insight as a gamer and retailer to the program.
The first topic covered was Jess Hartley’s new book, Conventions for the Aspiring Game Professional. For those who are aspiring game professionals, this book sounds like a must have. Jess knows what she is talking about in this book. She’s a well respected professional in the gaming industry whose works include these. I’m particularly interested in her World of Darkness books, Innocents and Geist. Geist is talked about more in PGOC 88. Both of these books sound like they would be fun and scary. And I don’t get to play scary very much. If you are a game designer, check this one out.
Jess also mentioned that she is a homeschooler. As a fellow homeschooler it is nice to see the community expand.
There was more talk of Adventures In Oz, a rpg where you play characters in Baum’s world. As I mentioned previously, I would like to get some more info on this one. I’ve not read much of the Oz material but I think it would be fun. And I could play this with my kids. The website has the character creation and a bit of the rules up for download so that you can see what the game is about. There is an interesting mechanic in the game. Combat doesn’t necessarily result in death of one of the combatants as in most games. Here you combat until one gives in. The mechanics seem to support this non-lethal conflict. I’ll need to read more to find out though.
The rest of the episode was responding to feedback and emails. A good portion of this was taken up by me in what they are calling The Tomg Spot. Ha Ha. I even got a big voice intro with an echo. Ron mentioned that he and Veronica will be in my neck of the woods, NC, at MACE. MACE is the local/regional gaming con. It is a sweet con that is devoted solely to gaming. Many of the Savage Worlds folks will be there and they are having a Savage Saturday Night event on – Saturday night. So if you are in the High Point, NC area on Nov. 6-8, come on by.
There was mention of Jeremiah’s game company. As I understand it he is hard at work on a new role playing game, MERP – Middle East Role Playing. JD, you should check that out.
I would be remise if I didn’t mention Hive. Everyone should have a copy of this great two player game.
I will mention that Pulp Gamer is running a ‘bribe’. If you leave a review of Pulp Gamer Out of Character on iTunes you can get a copy of ‘Accent Your Character‘ – PG’s role playing aid to assist you in mastering those United Kingdom type accents. And if you leave a review of one of the other Pulp Gamer shows you can get a digital copy. Very cool. I’m headed over there right after this post.
All in all another good episode.
Go Forth and Game

You’re killing me, TomG, you’re killing me…
I’ll try to keep up the good work.
By the way, is there a more in depth or AP-ish content on Arthur Lives! coming? That one sounded fun. It is Camelot 3000 in rpg form. If you haven’t read Camelot 3000, it is a good trade paperback from DC. It came out in the ’80’s and has great art by Brian Bolland but I don’t remember the writer. It hits many of the points of Arthur Lives!.
Some more Geist content would be nice too. And Adventures in Oz. Also, check out Jason Morningstar’s newest – The Plant, a solo rpg. It’s fun and very adaptable to many settings. It can be found at http://www.bullypulpitgames.com/fairplay/ then ‘The Plant’.
Unfortunately my Arthur Lives! game at RinCon collapsed a bit due to non-game-related-reasons. I would love to see more people playing it, of course, I think it’s one of the best True20 games out there, and that’s saying something!
I’m in the middle of a Changeling game and a Star Wars game and I’m about to launch a Burning Empires monthly get-together, am I crazy or something?
Yes, you are crazy. I got some Savage Worlds action in with Ron at MACE this past weekend. Ask him about Timmy Whitebread. He’s a great GM by the way. Watch Out! Your title may be in danger!

Before coming to the Malletts Bay School as a para educator, I taught yoga full-time from 2002 until 2013. I became certified in the Hatha Yoga tradition with the Ananda Yoga Ashram, CA, in 1998. At that time I was an eighth-grade teacher at the City School in Saint Albans, VT and had a great time trying out my newly acquired yoga teaching skills on eager and willing middle school students and teachers! For years I held yoga clubs and afterschool classes for the staff and children at the school. In time, sharing the art of yoga became such a passion that I gave up classroom teaching in favor of teaching yoga full time.
I have taught yoga with students from birth to 92 years of age. I have enjoyed teaching: Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga, Gentle Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga for Depression, Posture Workshops, Chakra Yoga and Chair-Supported Yoga. Since 2009 I have Directed my own Yoga Camps for Children: "Kids Creative Yoga Camps" and "Girls Spirit Creative Yoga-n-Dance Camps," fostering self-expression and positive self-image in Vermonters ages 3-15 years.

Kendrick Taylor. American Scientist. Volume 87, Issue 4. Jul/Aug 1999.
Over the course of geologic history, the earth’s environment has been far from static. Indeed, 600 million years ago the atmosphere lacked sufficient oxygen to support animal life. More recently, as shown by sediments recording conditions over the past 500,000 years, the planet’s climate varied between at least two different states.
The record from the past 150,000 years is particularly well preserved, offering details about these repeated climate changes. Between about 131,000 and 114,000 years ago there was a warm period like today’s climate, referred to in Europe as the Eemian or globally as Marine Isotope Stage 5e. This was followed by the Wisconsin ice age, which ended about 12,000 years ago when the current relatively warm Holocene period began.
Although the past half-million years constitutes the current-events period in geologic time, on a human time scale the events I just described are in the distant past. Because their time scales are so long, I used to believe that changes in climate happened slowly and would never affect me. After all, a single climate cycle that includes an ice age and a warm period lasts 150,000 years and is controlled by gradually changing orbital parameters of the earth. It did not seem possible that climate cycles that lasted so long could change perceptibly during my lifetime. Even greenhouse induced climate changes are normally predicted to happen gradually over several generations, allowing an opportunity for society to adapt.
My attitude changed profoundly while I was working on a project funded by the National Science Foundation to develop a climate record for the past 110,000 years. By examining ice cores from Greenland, my colleagues and I determined that climate changes large enough to have extensive impacts on our society have occurred in less than 10 years. Now I know that our climate could change significantly in my lifetime. We are still a long way from being able to predict such a change, but we are getting closer to understanding how it might take place. A pressing concern is whether anthropogenic changes to our planet’s atmosphere might perturb the climate’s stability.
Ice, the Museum of Climate
One can learn a lot about what controls climate by studying glacial ice. When snow falls, it collects insoluble dust particles, soluble compounds and the water in the snow itself. In some places more snow falls in a year than melts or sublimates away. Annual layers of snow pile up, with atmospheric gases filling the open pores between snow crystals. The weight of accumulating snow compresses the pores in the snow below, turning the snow into ice and trapping the atmospheric gases.
The dust, chemicals and gases in the ice reflect the environment along the water’s journey from distant sources to the glacier. They record how cold it was, how much snow fell in a year, what the concentration of atmospheric gases was and what the atmospheric circulation patterns were.
We can identify annual layers in the ice because the concentration of sea salts, nitrate and mineral dust and the gas content in winter snow are different than in summer snow. We count the annual layers to determine the age of the ice, and by measuring the thickness of the annual layers we can determine how much snow fell each year.
The gas trapped between ice crystals offers a sample of the ancient atmosphere, and we can use it to determine what the concentrations of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane were long before human beings measured the atmosphere directly. General patterns of atmospheric circulation can be reconstructed by using tracers such as soluble chemicals (for example, nitrate, ammonium, sodium and calcium) and rare earth elements in insoluble dust particles to determine how wind moved air and dust from the source regions for these compounds to the drilling site.
Ice as Thermometer
Air temperature is naturally of primary interest when we talk about climate, and fortunately we have three ways to determine what it was in the past. First, we can measure the isotopic composition of the oxygen and hydrogen in the ice. When water vapor in clouds condenses, the ratio of oxygen-18 to oxygen-16 and the hydrogen-2/hydrogen-1 ratio are affected by the ambient temperature; the colder the cloud, the lower the ratio. Measuring how the ratios of these isotopes changes along an ice core gives us a good idea how the air temperature changed over time.
The second way to determine prehistoric temperatures is to measure the isotopic composition of the nitrogen gas trapped in the ice. At depths between about 5 and 50 meters in an ice sheet, air can move in interconnected pores but is sheltered from mixing by the wind. Nitrogen-15 slowly moves toward colder locations, and nitrogen-14 slowly moves toward warmer locations. This process creates a near-surface gradient in the nitrogen-15/nitrogen-14 ratio that depends on the near-surface temperature gradient. The resulting isotopic composition of the nitrogen trapped in the ice depends on the difference between the surface temperature and the temperature at depth at the time when the ice overburden pressure closes the pores and traps the nitrogen gas in the ice. Variations in the isotopic composition of the nitrogen along a core show when and by how much the surface temperature changed.
Finally, because of the large thermal inertia of an ice sheet, the current temperature distribution in an ice sheet is strongly influenced by what the surface temperature was in the past. The physics is similar to cooking a large frozen turkey. If we move the turkey directly from the freezer into the oven, the outside of the turkey will be done before the inside even defrosts. By modeling the current thermal state of the turkey, or an ice sheet, we can determine the history of the turkey’s, or ice sheet’s, surface temperature. The physics of these three approaches is well understood; together they allow us to reconstruct how the surface temperature changed during the past several hundred thousand years.
The Greenland Weather Report
In Greenland, annual ice layers are stacked up like thousands of annual weather reports. In 1982, a European and American team made the first attempt to read that record, by recovering an ice core from southern Greenland. Measurements on the ice core indicated that about 11,700 years ago the climate of the North Atlantic region changed from a dry and cold ice age to the current warmer and wetter Holocene. Altogether it took 1,500 years for the climate transition to be complete and a few thousand more years to melt most of the ice, but the surprise was that most of the transition occurred in only 40 years. This was only one record, and it came from a single 10 centimeter-diameter ice core. Still, this finding was impossible to ignore and too puzzling to comprehend.
In 1993, Americans and Europeans led by Paul Mayewski of the University of New Hampshire and Bernhard Stauffer of the University of Bern in Switzerland finished recovering two new ice cores from the summit of the Greenland ice sheet. More than 40 university and national laboratories participated in the projects. We shared samples, spent time in one another’s labs, replicated one another’s results, proposed ideas, tore them apart and then jointly proposed better ones. One of the justifications for these new cores, located 30 kilometers apart, was to verify and learn more about the 40-year change in climate, an event observed in both cores. The records stored in these cores were more detailed than before and showed that within a 20-year period at the summit of Greenland, where ice is thickest, the amount of snow deposited each year doubled, average annual surface temperature increased by 5 to 10 degrees Celsius and wind speeds increased. The same ice cores also showed that the spatial extent of sea ice decreased, atmospheric-circulation patterns changed, and the size of the world’s wetlands increased. Many of these shifts in parameters, including at least a 4-degree Celsius increase in the average annual air temperature, happened in less than 10 years. These changes were not restricted to Greenland; the global nature of many of these ice-core records showed that low-latitude, continental-scale regions rapidly got warmer and wetter. The most dramatic change occurred 11,700 years ago. But we also found comparable anomalies every several thousand years during the Wisconsin ice age. Further, Antarctic ice cores also show comparable climate transitions at these times.
Climate, from the Bottom Down
One can also learn a lot about what controls climate by studying sediments on the ocean floor. These sediments contain the decayed remains of ocean organisms and inorganic material from the erosion of rocks. Ocean organisms assimilate chemical compounds from the water as they grow, and the compounds they incorporate are partially determined by the environment in which they live. Thus the decayed remains of the organisms that fall to the ocean floor contain a record of what chemical compounds were available and the temperature of the water in which they lived.
For example, consider an ocean-sediment core collected at Bermuda Rise, a place where ocean currents deposit a lot of sediment. The oxygen-18/oxygen-16 ratio of seawater varies through time depending on how much water is locked in ice sheets and how much water is in the ocean. The near surface-dwelling foraminiferan Globigerinoides ruber uses seawater to make its shell. By measuring the oxygen isotopic composition of the shells recovered from an ocean core, we can determine how much water was locked up in ice sheets when the foraminiferan was living. Likewise, the bottom-dwelling foraminiferan Nutallides umbonifera incorporates cadmium and calcium in its shell. By measuring the ratio of cadmium to calcium in the shells recovered from an ocean core, we can tell where the bottom water came from when the foraminiferan was living. High values of the cadmium-to-calcium ratio indicate that the water near the bottom came to the Bermuda Rise from the south, whereas a low ratio indicates that the bottom water came from the north.
Ocean sediments also contain groundup rock, which is transported and deposited by ocean currents, just as wind carries airborne dust to be deposited on ice sheets. The mineralogy of the ground-up rock can be used to identify where it came from. For example, a layer of hematite-rich sediments in ocean cores near Bermuda indicates that ocean currents were transporting material from the east coast of Canada to Bermuda when the sediments in the layer were deposited.
To determine what the temperature of the ocean surface was in the past we can use organic compounds made by phytoplankton. Phytoplankton live near the ocean surface where there is light for photosynthesis. Some phytoplankton produce compounds know as alkenones, which are straight chains of carbon atoms. Along these chains of carbon there can be two or three double bonds. The number of double bonds depends on the water temperature. The double bonds are thought to keep the cell membrane pliable in cold water. When the phytoplankton die, the alkenones fall to the bottom and become incorporated into the sediment. By measuring the ratio of different types of alkenones we can determine what the surface water temperature was when the phytoplankton were living.
By collecting cores of the ocean sediments at different locations, we can determine a lot about how the ocean circulated water and heat in the past. The rapid climate changes recorded in the ice cores encouraged a search for ocean sediment records with high time resolution. In the past few years locations have been identified in the ocean where sediment accumulates rapidly, and the sediment cores from these locations have comparable time resolution to the ice cores. Coring projects off the coast of Bermuda by Konrad Hughen, Julian Sachs and Scott Lehman with the University of Colorado, in conjunction with Lloyd Keigwin of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Ed Boyle of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, found the same rapid changes in climate as were recorded in the ice cores. Other groups have found similar records near Santa Barbara, California and off the coast of India.
Paleoclimatic evidence worldwide shows that a global change in climate took place 11,700 years ago, and in the North Atlantic a large part of the change took less than 20 years. It was a few thousand years before the completion of the transition from ice age to warm period; still, in just a 20-year period the climate of a large part of the earth changed significantly. There was no warning. A threshold was crossed, and the climate in much of the world shifted abruptly from cold to warm. This was not a small perturbation; our civilization has never experienced a climate change of this magnitude or speed. To get an idea of what happened, imagine that over a 20-year period the weather at your home became that typical of a place 400 to 600 miles farther south. What might be the mechanism for so rapid and large a climate change?
Climate’s Control Mechanism
Like the atmosphere, the oceans are far from static. Currents, of which the Caribbean-Atlantic Gulf Stream is just a small part, continually exchange water among all the oceans and between the surface and the depths. For the sake of convenience, we shall start this journey in the Gulf Stream, where water moves northward along the East Coast of the U.S. toward Iceland. Along the way, the water exchanges heat with the air, warming the air and cooling the water in the process. Water evaporates from the surface and leaves behind dissolved salt. The combination of chilling and evaporation makes surface water denser as it moves north. In the vicinity of Iceland, the surface water becomes denser than the water below it and sinks. This dense, cold water then moves south along the bottom of the Atlantic, around the Horn of Africa and, still near the bottom, continues to the North Pacific, where it upwells to the surface. Surface water in the North Pacific makes room for the upwelling bottom water by moving south, passing between Asia and Australia and finally catching the tail of the circulation pattern at the beginning of the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic off Central America. For most of its journey, the surface water collects heat and freshwater, which makes the surface water more buoyant than the water underneath it. But in the North Atlantic, the combination of cold temperatures and evaporation makes the water dense again and it sinks.
Wally Broecker of Columbia University likens this circulation pattern to a long conveyor belt that moves water, salt and heat. He was among the first to recognize that alterations in the path of the ocean conveyor belt would change climate in much the same way that turning off the furnace fan changes the temperature distribution in a house. He proposed that the large oscillations in climate observed in the geologic record were caused by different patterns of ocean circulation.
Three Climate Modes
Because the oceans must abide by the constraints of geography and the laws of physics, there are only a few patterns in which the oceans can circulate. At a recent conference organized by Robert Webb of NOAA and Peter Clark of Oregon State University, climate scientists identified three modes of ocean circulation, each of which is associated with a different climate. The current mode produces the warmest conditions in the North Atlantic. Surface water sinks in two regions of the North Atlantic, and a large volume of surface water and heat is drawn from the tropics to replace the sinking North Atlantic water. The heat carried north by the northward-moving surface water warms eastern North America, the North Atlantic and most of Europe. The second mode of ocean circulation occurs when surface water sinks in only one area of the North Atlantic. Less surface water sinks to the bottom, so smaller amounts of warm surface water and heat are drawn north to replace the sinking water. This mode was in place during the warmest times of the Wisconsin ice age, when climate was only slightly colder than current conditions. In the coldest mode, no water sinks in the North Atlantic; hence no warm water is drawn north. This was the condition during the coldest portions of the Wisconsin ice age.
Each of these modes of ocean circulation is associated with a small range of prevailing environmental conditions. Weather anomalies such as 10-year-long droughts or wet periods, as significant as they may seem to human affairs, are a reflection of the small range of environmental conditions associated with a single mode of ocean circulation. If, however, environmental conditions are externally forced to be inconsistent with the existing mode of ocean circulation, the circulation will switch to a mode that is more consistent with those environmental conditions. An example of this forcing would be a change in the amount of solar heat reaching, and retained at, the earth’s surface. Such a change could be the result of alterations either in solar output or in the way the atmosphere regulates the exchange of heat between the earth’s surface and space. The transitions between different modes of ocean circulation are abrupt. The ocean-sediment cores and ice cores tell us that they frequently take only several decades or less.
Numerical models of ocean circulation developed by Thomas Stocker of the University of Bern and Syukuro Manabe of Princeton University show that each circulation mode is stable for a particular range of environmental conditions. For example, if the discharge of a river changes, altering the density of the surface water in the adjoining ocean, the ocean-circulation pattern will change only if it is unstable under this new set of conditions. As long as the climate system stays within the stable-mode range, river discharge and greenhouse-gas concentration can vary without having much influence on climate.
Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research has used numerical models to show how surprisingly sensitive ocean circulation can be to changes in freshwater discharge. His numerical models show that if the climate system is near the threshold between stable modes, a small change in the amount of freshwater entering the North Atlantic will force a large and rapid shift to a different ocean-circulation pattern. Like a coin on edge, which topples with only a breath of air, an unstable pattern quickly assumes a new position where it becomes quite stable. The climate changes recorded by the ice and ocean-sediment cores appear to have taken place when some crucial threshold was crossed, resulting in large and rapid switches-in geologic time, like the flip of a switch in ocean circulation.
Unfortunately, no one knows yet what caused this switch to flip. We know of external forcing mechanisms, but their time periods do not match the record. For example, the distribution of solar energy reaching the earth varies according to the relative positions of the sun and earth. These variations, called Milankovitch cycles, have periods of tens of thousands of years and are thus too slow to explain the rapid changes seen every couple of thousand years during the Wisconsin ice age. The Milankovitch cycles define the big picture and determine when changes could occur, but some smaller, quicker-acting mechanism triggered the more frequent switches during the Wisconsin.
The leading idea, which has been simulated in computer models, is that increased discharges of freshwater glacial ice and river runoff into the North Atlantic reduced the density of the surface water enough that it could not sink. This slowed the ocean conveyor, forcing it to switch to another circulation pattern. Other emerging concepts place the source of the disruption of the conveyor in the tropical Pacific. Variability in the sun’s output is another possible cause of the climate variations, but the record of solar output is not good enough to adequately investigate this idea. Furthermore, the dynamics of ocean circulation around Antarctica are too poorly understood to completely exclude the possibility that they may play a role. Whatever the cause may be, it is worrisome that the phenomenon that has repeatedly triggered major changes in ocean circulation and the earth’s climate is so subtle that we have not been able to identify it. This emphasizes how large changes in the interaction of the oceans, atmosphere and ice sheets have been triggered by small perturbations of the environment.
Tampering with Our Stable Mode?
Human beings have made major modifications to the earth’s environment in little more than a century, increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to its highest level in 260,000 years. Numerical models can be used to estimate what will happen when anthropogenic increases in the atmospheric concentration of gases such as carbon dioxide and methane block heat from leaving the earth. The increased concentration of these gases acts like a greenhouse, and the average temperature of the earth gets warmer. But the numerical models of Stocker, Rahmstorf and others suggest there may be surprises in the greenhouse.
When the greenhouse effect warms the earth, it accelerates the hydrologic cycle, more water moves around in the atmosphere, and rainfall increases in many places. Some models suggest that this will slowly decrease the salinity of the North Atlantic, making the surface water less dense. Were a critical density threshold to be crossed, ocean circulation would abruptly switch to a new stable mode.
This would be more than just a switch in ocean circulation; it would be a switch in the way tropical heat is transported to the North Atlantic. At the least, Northern Europe and Scandinavia would be 2 to 5 degrees colder on average than they are now, and the amount of precipitation would decrease dramatically. It would not necessarily be a rapid return to an ice age, but it might be a start in that direction. The orbital parameters of the earth are such that we are due for another ice age, and a cooling in the north Atlantic at a time when orbital parameters favor a return to a much colder climate could be the trigger that initiates such a change.
A switch in climate from a warm period (like the current Holocene epoch) to an ice age has happened before. Ocean and lake cores tell us that the warm Eemian period from about 131,000 to 114,000 years ago-when the distribution of ice sheets was similar to what it is today-switched to the Wisconsin ice age in no more than 400 years, the minimum time resolution of the record from these ancient sediments. Unfortunately, we have yet to recover an ice core that shows in sharp detail how the Eemian Period ended. This is old ice. It is difficult to find a place where it snowed enough to produce a high time-resolution record but not so much as to smear the record against the bedrock. An international project, led by Claus Hammer of the University of Copenhagen, has identified the most likely location in Greenland for this ice to be found and is collecting a core.
Many arctic ice cores tell us that 8,200 years ago the climate approached ice age conditions for a 400-year period before returning to conditions similar to today. This excursion was most likely caused by the one-time draining of lakes left behind by the melting of the Canadian ice sheets. This change in freshwater flux to the oceans was large but not that much different from what greenhouse-induced changes may produce in the future. The fact that it took place when climate conditions were similar to today demonstrates that large and rapid climate switches do not happen exclusively when there are extensive northern hemisphere ice sheets. It is ironic that greenhouse warming may lead to rapid cooling in eastern North America, Europe and Scandinavia, and it is possible that altered ocean circulation could lead to much larger changes. We have no experience predicting climate switches between stable modes, so it would be wise to expect surprises.
Climate and Choices
Climate is the result of the exchange of heat and mass between the land, ocean, atmosphere, ice sheets and space. As long as changes to the land, ocean, atmosphere and ice sheets stay below the thresholds I have just described, climate changes will happen slowly But the climate will change rapidly if those thresholds are crossed. So rapidly that it would be impossible to rearrange agricultural practices quickly enough to avoid stressing world food supplies. So rapidly that many species would not be able to adapt, because their habitat, already greatly reduced by human activities, would be eradicated.
Human ingenuity would most likely allow us to adapt to a rapid change in climate, but we would pay a larger price than our civilization has ever known. Imagine the economic and social cost of moving, in a 20-year period, most of our agricultural activities 500 miles south of their current locations. Imagine the social cost and famine if agriculture could not be relocated quickly enough. Even a short-duration event such as the Dust Bowl years in the 1930s had a large influence on American society. The Little Ice Age, which caused major resettlement in Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries, is a more likely analogue of where we might be headed.
Some have proposed that we could counterbalance the greenhouse effect by manipulating the global exchanges of heat and mass. Methods that have been discussed include blocking the Strait of Gibraltar to change the salinity of the North Atlantic, using airplane distributed particles or large orbiting sunshades to shade the earth, and fertilizing the ocean with iron to promote production of carbon dioxide-consuming biomass. But we have a poor record of managing even small ecosystems and lack a complete understanding of the ocean-atmosphere interactions that govern our climate. Intentionally manipulating climate would not only be costly and imprecise; it would also be impossible to benefit some regions without adversely effecting others. It would be a risky experiment on the only planet we can call home.
Although we do not know the critical level of greenhouse-gas concentration, we do know that reducing the rate of greenhouse emissions would help in two ways. First, the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases would increase more slowly. Second, numerical models by Thomas Stocker and Andreas Schmittner of the University of Bern and others predict that the climate threshold will occur at a higher concentration of greenhouse gases if the concentration of greenhouse gases increases slowly. Slowing the rate of greenhouse-gas emissions would buy us more time to understand the consequences of our actions and might allow us to increase greenhouse-gas concentrations to a higher level before reaching the critical threshold.
It is true that computer models are not perfect; they indicate general patterns. And we need to improve our understanding in many areas before the models can pinpoint thresholds. For example, our understanding of the details of ocean circulation is poor, and the physics of cloud formation and their influence on heat exchange is elusive. When we model previous switches in climate, we can compare the model to the results of real-world experiments recorded in ocean sediments and ice cores. But when we model the future, we have no empirical basis to judge the model’s accuracy. If we take no action until we are completely confident the models are correct, then the only use for the models will be to explain what happened. Our insistence on a tested model is part of the reason society is continuing to conduct the largest experiment ever done, the experiment of increasing the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases.
It will be another 20 years before the climate changes that are predicted to be associated with the greenhouse effect become large enough to be unambiguously differentiated from naturally occurring variations in climate. As a society we have the choice of ignoring the warning signs that our studies have uncovered or taking some action. I think we should spend the next 20 years aggressively investigating our options. We should continue to focus on improving our ability to predict climate change. At the same time, we should test the technologies and polices we might need to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, implementing them on a small scale where there would be minimal economic and social disruption. I am not alone among scientists in anticipating that 20 years from now our society may have to choose between disruptions associated with our current approach to energy use and disruptions associated with adopting an approach to energy use that produces fewer greenhouse gases. Procrastination will prevent making an informed decision and will increase the social and economic costs.

Pictured are two scarves I just finished. The brown/tort is made from second cut tort English Angora with one ply commercial viscose made from bamboo. The black is 1 ply second English Angora cuts and one ply commercial acrylic/mohair/wool.
I would never think to use second cuts which is the stuff you get from the rabbits cheeks, stomach and feet if not for my friend Betty suggesting I could make good use of them. In fact, I think it makes for prettier scarves than first cuts.

text: The multifaceted Galician artist, writer and politician Alfonso Daniel Rodríguez Castelao (1886–1950) has been considered a pioneer of Galician comics, or banda deseñada. This is because of his key role in the development of the medium from his early comic strips in the magazine Vida gallega [Galician life] (1909), to the cartoons that he published in the press in the 1920s and 1930s. Furthermore, Castelao has become a comics character in several graphic biographies since the end of the 1970s. This article not only addresses the reasons for the recurrent presence of Castelao in Galician comics, but it also looks at how the latter have contributed to the mythologisation of this important figure of Galician culture. In aesthetic terms, it will reveal the overlaps between adaptation, biography and comics by analysing all three of them as networks.

By Cristina Paolozzi, July 8 2021—
As the COVID-19 restrictions ease in Alberta, Stage 3 in the the provincial government’s Open for Summer plan indicates that all restrictions will be lifted as of July 1.
Stage 3 outlines that two weeks after 70 per cent of Alberta’s population over the age of 12 have received at least one dose of the COVID vaccine, restrictions such as the ban on indoor social gatherings, as well as the mandatory mask mandate will be lifted.
On July 5, city council voted to repeal most of Calgary’s mask mandates, voting 10-4. However, masks are still required on public transportation and in health-care facilities.
As a result of the decisions made both at the provincial and municipal levels, the University of Calgary has also announced in an email on July 6 that masks will no longer be mandatory on campus.
The email states that masks can still be worn based on individual comfort level.
“While masks are no longer required at UCalgary, individuals can still opt to wear them based on their own comfort level,” the email reads. “Mask use is an individual choice, and no one should feel discouraged from using them.”
There are still some places where masks will be mandatory, such as travelling in a UCalgary vehicle, as well as in medical clinic environments.
To help aid vaccine distribution, the university has opened a vaccination clinic at the Foothills Medical Centre in partnership with Alberta Health Services (AHS). To learn more about this clinic, or to book an appointment, click here.

New Delhi: The Central Information
Commission has issued a show-cause notice to the Prime
Minister`s Office regarding "non-compliance" of its order
relating to disclosure of union ministers` assets.
"The Commission has directed the CPIO in Prime
Minister`s Office to dispose complaint within 10 days. ....the
appellant has been repeatedly approaching the Commission
stating...that the requested information has not been
provided," the Commission said in its notice.
It directed the Central Public Information Officer to
"submit an action taken report specifically in regard to the
non-compliance of the order" by September 10.
The case relates to S C Agrawal who sought to know from
the Cabinet Secretariat the information on assets, wealth and
income of all union ministers. The matter was later referred
to the PMO.
The Commission had on June 7 this year directed the PMO
to disclose the assets of union ministers after getting
clearance from the Lok Sabha Speaker and the Rajya Sabha
The Commission had directed the PMO to complete the
exercise within 10 days of receiving the decision.
"Failure to receive a response within a reasonable time
will, however, be construed as acquiescence in the light of
previous decisions given by each of the heads of both Houses,"
Chief Information Commissioner Wajahat Habibullah said on a
plea of Agrawal.
Habibullah directed the Prime Minister`s Office to refer
the RTI application with respect to those ministers who
are Lok Sabha Members to Speaker Meira Kumar and those who are
Members of Rajya Sabha to Chairman Hamid Ansari for permission
to disclose the assets and liabilities of the ministers.
The CIC has said that after getting requisite details
the information would be furnished to Agrawal.
But the PMO even after getting the necessary orders from
the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha did not provide the details,
alleged Agrawal before the Commission.

- 600 civilians have been killed and more than 1,000 injured since the conflict.
There’s hardly any reason for people in Ukraine to cheer. But a few Ukrainians, especially comedians in Sumy area, have been trying their best to lift each other’s mood. As per The Kyiv Independent, a Ukraine media outlet, three comedians performed for about 100 viewers in one of the bomb shelters in Sumy, a regional capital in northern Ukraine, on March 19th.
After getting to know about comedians’ efforts to create smiles in Ukraine while the country is battling a war, netizens lauded them. “This makes me smile. #Sumy #Ukraine #BombShelter #Comedians #ComediansPerformStandUpShowInBombShelter #StandWithUkraine,” a social media user commented. Indian stand-up comedian Vir Das, too, appreciated them. Sharing the particular news, Das took to Twitter and dropped a few clapping hand emojis.
On February 24th, Russia began a military operation in Ukraine, responding to calls for help from the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in countering the aggression of Ukrainian troops. According to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, over 600 civilians have been killed and more than 1,000 injured in Ukraine since the start of the conflict

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — Create it and they will come. That’s the idea behind Fort Wayne’s newest public space.
For most people in Fort Wayne, the PNC Plaza is home to ‘Santa and His Reindeer.’ Now the Plaza is home to a new outdoor public space.
“Coney Island is going to benefit, we obviously are really going to benefit but even people who are down at Promenade Park and the Landing who work their way up here they now have a place to sit and relax,” Sweets on Main co-owner Krista Schwartz Hall said. “We are surprised already by how much it is being utilized in the morning for breakfast meetings and people are still out there when we close at 10 p.m. on weekend just hanging out.”
Additions to the Plaza include outdoor dining tables and chairs, a life-size chessboard, and a mural by Art This Way.
The push for additional outdoor seating continues well into the COVID-19 pandemic where more restaurants have added outdoor dining as a way to attract guests.
Sweets on Main was one of the several businesses hurt during the COVID-19 pandemic. The business open fall of 2019 and saw success. Then the pandemic hit. Thanks to loyal customers the ice cream shop stayed open.
Schwartz Hall says she is excited that the new plaza will bring more people to downtown.
“I think it’s just making downtown a fun place to be,” Schwartz Hall said. “I know that when I try to go out to eat especially since there are only a few months in the summer you can eat outside I look for a place to go outside.”
Other restaurants and businesses in the area that Wane spoke with say the additional public space and seating have helped businesses and Fort Wayne residents are hoping more spaces open soon.

An air-cooled cruise of vws was making their way down Highway 1 from the Canadian border and their 9th day was taking them through Los Angeles. A meetup was scheduled at a local In N Out burger. It took me over an hour to drive 26 miles for that meetup. The LA traffic was brutal and the summer heat was in the 90s. But getting a hello wave because I’m driving a 78’ makes every commute bearable if not fun. The women in my vw forum found me easily. Everyone knows my car, Trinity, and they were eager to introduce theirs to me.
Several ladies from our ladies vw forum came out with their cars and kiddos.
It’s not easy being a girl into cars. But I know women who change their own oil and adjust the engine valves and get a bit of grief for it.
Some men in the vw groups online are not so nice and we were wary of getting bullied IRL. Our ladies group must’ve stood out at the treffen meetup. A couple of men approached us with a we-come-in-peace stance and put us at ease. I am happy to report that I’ve scouted Airhead Parts Treffen group and found ZERO trolls.
The men of the Treffen cruise were kind family men. They had their wives and kids en tow. Their accompanying women encouraged that I bring more women. Though there were a few women doing this treffen, car clubs seem to be male dominated and the internet has sometimes been treacherous for vw women asking for car advice. The treffen group was glad that we took a chance to meet them. Unfortunately, none of us packed to travel to San Diego to camp with them. I planned to cruise to San Diego though. They were camping at the beach near my mom’s home.
I found my vw sisterhood Real Women Drive VWs group. We found each other as a refuge from the crass advice men gave on the vw groups. Even the men of this treffen agreed that they’ve seen the trolls. I’m glad I braved it to meet this group. They were kind and welcoming. One asked if there was a way he can join the women’s vw forum. He was a vw mechanic and would appreciate being in a kinder forum.
Airhead Parts has been hosting this cruise for the past 21 years and camping out on the beach literally down the street from my mom’s house. How did I not know? Well thank God for the internet. It’s how I found my vw sisters. Look at how many of us are in the US alone. Women driving VWs!!!
I thanked the treffen group for being so welcoming once we settled in at the beach campsite. One even handed me an ice cold beer and gave my mom a chair right away.
A lot of stories and smiles were shared.
I look forward to seeing them again and maybe driving from the Canadian border to San Diego someday. Maybe you can join us too.

You have become what you put in your body. If you consider it, this makes sense. For example, meats like poultry have amino acids that happen to be significant as they could help to repair muscle tissue. The same goes for all other foods, so it’s important that you just dine appropriately. People currently are eating more ‘superfoods’ as these foods are shown to boost your health and offer you a lot of necessary nutrients. Do you know what superfoods in fact are? We can really say that a number of foods help to increase our vitality and others do not. Antioxidants in nutritional food helps our immune system where harmful foods have little value and can make you fat. The nutritional kinds of meals are where you’ll discover superfoods.
Malnourishment is the ultimate outcome of one’s body not getting the right kind of nourishment. The right type of fat is essential, proteins for cell restoration and for energy you need carbohydrates. In addition, another essential factor in all this is water to drink. There are other areas of nutritional value that you may not take note of including various vitamins and minerals. A fatty acid that we currently know more about is Omega-3 and it aids the fight against the destructive type of cholesterol. Salmon is an example of a superfood since it provides protein as well as containing Omega-3. Omega-3 can also aid your brain by defending it from illnesses you usually get from aging. You can locate Omega-3 in many fish, nuts and seeds, a lot of which can be classed as superfoods.
Another important function of superfoods is how they assist our immune systems. Superfoods are recommended for their positive effect on your protection and garlic is one such food recognized for this. Your blood cholesterol count may also be lowered by means of garlic. One warning with garlic is that if you suffer with your stomach at all, it may not be advisable to eat it. As mentioned above, water is quite essential for your body (after all, the majority of the body is made from water) however sometimes it may be difficult to drink high volumes of water, which can be why you may want to try drinking Green tea. Rich in antioxidants, green tea is considered a healthy drink since it has polyphenols. Green tea also can hinder new blood vessels from increasing, which may help prevent tumors from developing.
Some other good quality superfoods to devour are tomatoes as they have something known as Lycopene which is an excellent antioxidant. A different superfood is spinach that is abundant with iron along with one of the B vitamins referred to as folate. Spinach might assist you during your later years because of the lutein in it that can help avert you from going blind.
Superfoods are positively worth eating as they provide you with lots of vitamins and minerals and health boosting vitamins that you may otherwise not devour through your normal diet.
A recipe is a good story that finishes with a well done meal. If you find this internet site fruitful Sharing this web page to your acquaintances is the deal Hope that your Burger 🍔 Volcanoes turns your day joyful.

Saturday mornings are my favorite! Sleeping in (well as much as you can with a toddler), staying in your pj’s, and serving up a creative & fun breakfast for the entire family. This past weekend, my husband took the reigns and made us our first batch of gluten-free pancakes. What a treat! Serve these with your favorite fruit or sweeten them up for special occasions with chocolate chips & whipped cream.
If you extra pancakes left over let them cool, wrap them in plastic, and freeze. To reheat just pop in the toaster or microwave for 30-60 seconds!
Gluten-Free Silver Dollar Pancakes
Yields: 20 pancakes
- 1 cup gluten-free pancake mix
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp. water
Combine all ingredients together and mix until smooth. Preheat pan over medium-low heat. We used the silver dollar pan by Bobby Flay, but any pan will do. Lightly spray non-stick cooking spray on pan and pour in batter. Cook on one side until you see small bubbles forming on the edges. Flip once and continue cooking until golden brown.

FORT MYERS, Fla. Family and friends gathered Friday morning in memory of the 77-year-old woman whose body was discovered inside a North Fort Myers apartment in June.
JoAnn Leasure’s funeral was held at 11 a.m. at Covenant Presbyterian Church, 2439 McGregor Blvd.
Leasure was described by church members as an inspiration, a church leader and a friend.
“She is not only well-known and loved here in Fort Myers, she’s well-known and loved throughout Southwest Florida,” said Jeffrey DeYoe, pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church.
Leasure was found dead on June 21 inside her Hancock Bridge Parkway apartment. Brett Pleasant, 51, of Fort Myers, faces robbery and second-degree murder charges in her death.

One of the dangerous things about the 'new normal' of online motoring auctions is that there's so much more time to convince yourself of how you really do need that weird piece of automobilia or unloved car that you would probably have allowed to pass you by in a regular 'live' sale. So, for the next 24 hours until the end of Gooding and Co.'s latest 'Geared Online' auction closes, I'm going to explain to me, myself and I (not to mention the rest of the family) why the following lots ought to end -up in our garage in the not-too-distant future...
Aston Martin Racing's veteran works driver Darren Turner recently got me hooked on his 'Base Performance' race simulators - but I'm wondering whether or not I might be able to scratch that itch more cheaply with this 1950s International Mutoscope 'Drive Yourself Road Test' which requires the player to keep the car on a panoramic scrolling road. For added realism, the seat moves in the direction of the steering wheel while a flashing green light indicates you haven't crashed. A red one means you have. Estimate $4,000 - 6,000.
I can't help wondering what sort of noises children are going to make in years to come when they are pretending to drive electric cars. The idea of emulating the banshee howl of a 1950s Lampredi four-pot will certainly be an alien concept - so this slightly cartoonish pedal version of the Ferrari Tipo 500 in which Alberto Ascari won seven world championship races on the trot should certainly be preserved for posterity. Estimate $2,000 - 4,000.
What joy to see an unrestored Porsche 356 in all its faded, Fjord Green glory. This June 1975 sunroof model is believed to be a late T-1 featuring various T-2 transitional parts and, until a few months ago, it had been in single family ownership for 47 years. Retaining the majority of its original bits, the car is being sold with a host of manuals and period features such as a luggage rack, Nardi steering wheel, Blaupunkt radio - and that lovely Laguna Seca badge on the engine lid... Estimate $90,000 - 100,000.
Just because I've already got a TR6 doesn't mean I shouldn't have another - especially since this one is in my favourite colour of 'Damson Red'. It 'stands' nicely, has a tidy engine bay and must sound decidedly rorty with its six-into-two-into-four exhaust set-up. Being a U.S. car, it's running twin carburettors instead of fuel injection but, with those high-back seats and red tyre bands, it looks more cruiser than racer anyway. Estimate $30,000 - 40,000.
It might be large and it should be brash - but, unless I'm entirely lacking in taste, Virgil Exner's1957 Chrysler 300C looks beautifully elegant from every angle. It's begging to be driven coast-to-coast on a low-speed adventure enjoyed in the cosseting comfort of its six-seater interior - although the 392 CI, 375 bhp Hemi engine nestling behind the car's incongruously friendly face promises high-performance thrills on tap. Estimate $50,000 - 60,000.


Used in flocculant systems, an electrically Heated Cone module is designed as a funnel to feed polymer granules to an eductor module. It is constructed from carbon steel sheet and has a double skin with sufficient cavity space for a heating coil and insulation.
The heating element is to prevent moisture, from humid conditions or condensation, forming on the walls of the cone and thus prevent a build-up of partially activated and sticky polymer. A woven wire stainless steel mesh is positioned in the top of the cone and under the screw conveyor to protect the eductor module from oversized material, such as; crusty polymer, foreign matter (e.g. leaves and twigs) and torn portions of polymer bags.

WASHINGTON, March 16 (UPI) -- U.S.-Russian talks on Europe's missile defense system will include discussion on guarantees the system isn't focused on Russia, U.S. officials said.
Philip H. Gordon, U.S. assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs, said discussions about the defense system and guarantees that it wasn't directed against Russia would continue, even as the United States and Russia agree to disagree, ITAR-Tass reported Friday.
On Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, "If the United States does not want to change anything in the missile defense plans, it should provide guarantees that it is not directed against Russia."
Gordon, in an interview with ITAR-Tass in Washington, said the United States has repeatedly stressed the missile defense system in Europe is not directed against Russia but against threats from beyond Europe.
Gordon said U.S. officials don't believe the system would undermine Russia's nuclear deterrent capabilities.

With declining unemployment numbers, rising corporate profits and a growing GDP, many analysts say we’ve reached a turning point in the recovery. The Dow Jones is up 86% from its March 2009 low, private sector jobs are multiplying and export levels are approaching an all-time high. With statistics like these, you could almost believe the Republican argument that trimming billions from the federal budget won’t hurt a recovery.
Unfortunately the Republican plan ignores the fact that things are still grim for the vast majority of Americans and none of the underlying causes of the recession have been dealt with. Large corporations and banks continue to dodge taxes through loopholes and offshoring, starving the government of the tax dollars it needs to deal with its deficit. The foreclosure mess is keeping a low profile, although reminders like this weekend’s New York Times profile of Mortgage Electronic Registration System, a mysterious corporation claiming to own title to half the nation’s mortgages, provide an occasional reminder. There’s also skepticism behind those job numbers. The effective unemployment rate is still high, and new job growth is primarily occurring in unskilled positions that pay close to minimum wage.
Events like today’s Make Wall St. Pay protests in Washington D.C. provide a reminder that recovery continues to elude the average American. According to National People’s Action, the group that organized the event, protestors shut down a Bank of America branch and then occupied Rep. John Boehner’s office to protest corporate tax dodging, while a group of homeowners and activists picketed a meeting of state Attorneys General to demand a tough settlement against bank servicing abuses that have made renegotiating loans heartbreakingly difficult for struggling homeowners. Bank of America, perhaps the worst bank offender, has 204 tax shelters in the Cayman Islands and another 167 elsewhere. Rather than contributing to the public purse, it actually received a tax refund of $666 million from taxpayers in 2010 and a $3.5 billion refund in 2009. If it and the other big banks were to start paying all their taxes, NPA says they would generate $13 billion per year – a sizeable chunk of the budget cuts being proposed by Congress (and this, all from just 6 Wall Street banks). Meanwhile recovery most definitely eludes the more than five million homeowners currently facing foreclosure.
Protests like these underscore the opinion polls that consistently show that a majority Americans want the rich to pay more taxes and don’t want spending cuts to government programs. The economy may be rebounding for some, but those who have been excluded from the recovery are going to be most hurt by future cuts.

CDC Software's Pivotal CRM Recognized as "Best CRM Project" at Prestigious Asian Banker Summit 2011
The solution leverages on the existing customer base and provides the relationship managers with a 360 degree view of the customer. The system makes suggestions on possible additional revenue areas and disseminates the information to interested parties and other business lines that may be better equipped to service them.

Ltd., exclusive partner of CDC Software in India, and its customer, one of the leading banks in India, have won the "Best CRM Project" in the Fifth Asian Banker Technology Implementation Awards 2011 for CDC CRM Solutions' deployment of Pivotal CRM at one of India's largest banks.
Both companies received the award at The Hong Kong Jockey Club earlier this month in conjunction with the Asian Banker Summit 2011, one of the foremost annual meetings for decision makers in the financial services industry in the Asia Pacific region. The awards program was managed by the Asian Banker, a leading provider of strategic intelligence on the financial services industry, and moderated by prominent global bankers, consultants and academics.

Pivotal CRM is also integrated with the bank's SMS gateway, the telephony systems and the bank's email server for a multi-channel approach to CRM communication. The solution leverages on the existing customer base and provides the relationship managers with a 360 degree view of the customer.

Pivotal CRM is built on a highly flexible, Microsoft.net-based architecture, with a rich set of CRM capabilities that support best-in-class mobile sales functionality and multi-language, global sales and marketing campaigns. This award not only validates our commitment to product innovation but also illustrates how Pivotal CRM adds value to our customer's success."
"We are happy that efforts in enabling our customer's customer-centric vision have been recognized at this prestigious Pan Asia forum," said Vineet Kalucha, executive director at CDC CRM Solutions. "This award was won after a thorough three-month long evaluation process where we were competing against 50 other companies across Asia and the Middle East. We are very honored that our Pivotal CRM implementation was recognized by this prestigious award." Asian Banker Technology Implementation Awards is given to the institution and IT partner who have garnered the highest aggregate score from the general criteria and award-specific scorecards.
Over 50 financial institutions from 15 countries across the Asia Pacific, the Gulf region and Central Asia were evaluated as part of the Technology Implementation Awards Program for 2011. The award evaluation process used a comprehensive methodology to evaluate the strength of individual technology implementations. It involved extensive research and tapped the combined experience of a team of experienced researchers and the expertise of an international panel of renowned industry practitioners.
