Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About...
Dr. Katharine Hayhoe is a climate scientist who leads the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University and is the host and producer of the PBS series Global Weirding. I asked her everything you want to know about climate change but were afraid to ask.

As bass anglers advance, they learn new techniques which usually require specific gear. This leads to people buying more rods to help them with things like casting, retrieving, setting the hook, or just feeling their bait better. But remember, to start you only really need one or two fishing set-ups. Pick up everything else as you go.Before You Buy
Steve: Welcome to Science Talk, the weekly podcast of Scientific American for the seven days starting October 8th, 2008, I'm Steve Mirsky. This week on the podcast: Carl Zimmer with everything you ever wanted to know about E. coli, and some things you probably didn't want to know. Plus, we'll test your knowledge about the Nobel Prizes awarded this week. First up Carl Zimmer joins us again. He is the author of the new book Microcosm: E. coli and the New Science of Life about the fascinating bacteria that live in each of us and the fundamental role it's played in the history of modern biology. I recorded a talk that Carl gave last month at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. After the talk, Carl and I had a brief conversation, but I am going to play that first, because it wound up being a good intro to his talk. This week's episode is longer than usual because I thought you would be interested in everything Carl had to say, so I have broken it into two parts to keep the file size as manageable while maintaining audio quality; and away we go.
The Merkava was first conceived by an Israeli General Israel Tal following the titanic armored clashes of the Yom Kippur War. Tal wanted a tank that prioritized crew protection above all else. The Merkava I entered service in 1978, and saw its first major action in Operation Peace for Galilee in 1982, where it performed well in engagements with Syrian T-62 tanks. Nonetheless, several were lost in battle, and the subsequent Merkava II tank featured upgraded spaced armor. The 1990s saw the Merkava III with a critical upgrade to a 120 millimeter main gun, and finally the latest Merkava IV has a more powerful engine and has recently been fitted with a sophisticated active-protection system for use against anti-tank missiles and rockets.
Major depression is just one of eight main options under depressive disorders in the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, known as DSM-5. Published in May 2013, DSM-5 was the first significant update since 1994 and incorporates 20 years of accruing research. There are several new classifications for depression, including:
There is literally nowhere else like India. Its got everything. Teeming cities, beautiful beaches, mountains, deserts, ruins and palaces, and the most friendly people and amazing food on earth. Each region is different to the next and every day is a proper adventure.
All zombie research is theoretical. We can never know exactly what the coming pandemic will look like until the teeming undead horde is finally at our doorsteps. Once the dead rise, the days of study and conjecture are over. Gone will be reasoned debate and hard scientific study. Gone will be global lines of communication and easy access to information. Gone will be the support structures that allow us to easily engage in serious scientific, social, and historic investigation.
First and foremost, thanks to all the members of Zombie Research Society from around the world for sharing my passion for zombie science, survival, and pop culture. Without you, this project would never have gotten off the ground. In particular, special acknowledgement goes to Lisa Bolton and Mikey Taylor for helping keep ZRS headed in the right direction. And to John Farrell, Lisa Bane, Zoe Mora, Marcus Mooers, and the other dedicated local chapter leaders, both in the United States and abroad.
And finally a debt of gratitude is owed to my friends and family for letting me endlessly go on about zombies, especially The Troll, who gets the brunt of it on a daily basis. Thanks to T for sounding the alarm and Majaraj for putting out fires at the finish line. To Grimm, Danger, and Annie, thanks for keeping me on my toes even though sometimes my toes get tired. Thanks to Don and Dianne for the American food. Thanks to my parents for pretty much everything.
The February Revolution of 1917 brought the 200-year reign of the Romanovs to a close and ended the Russian monarchy forever. The people, tired of autocracy, overthrew Nicholas II. After a few months of political struggle, the left-wing radicals known as the Bolsheviks came to power. Communists would go on to rule Russia for almost 70 years.
Angostura can add depth and complexity to everything from stews to seafood to sauerkraut. On the sweeter side, it pushes pies to a whole new spiced-up level, and would probably be pretty interesting in something like a root beer float (or a cocktail that just tastes like one). 041b061a72
