NASA | A Year in the Life of Earth’s CO2

By


Description given on Youtube:
An ultra-high-resolution NASA computer model has given scientists a stunning new look at how carbon dioxide in the atmosphere travels around the globe.

Plumes of carbon dioxide in the simulation swirl and shift as winds disperse the greenhouse gas away from its sources. The simulation also illustrates differences in carbon dioxide levels in the northern and southern hemispheres and distinct swings in global carbon dioxide concentrations as the growth cycle of plants and trees changes with the seasons.

The carbon dioxide visualization was produced by a computer model called GEOS-5, created by scientists at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office.

The visualization is a product of a simulation called a “Nature Run.” The Nature Run ingests real data on atmospheric conditions and the emission of greenhouse gases and both natural and man-made particulates. The model is then left to run on its own and simulate the natural behavior of the Earth’s atmosphere. This Nature Run simulates January 2006 through December 2006.

While Goddard scientists worked with a “beta” version of the Nature Run internally for several years, they released this updated, improved version to the scientific community for the first time in the fall of 2014.

10 Best Places to Retire in Australia.

There are many things you need to consider when you’re about to retire. One of them is the weather. Australia’s climate varies depending on which part of the continent you’re in. It’s mostly tropical in the northern states while the southern states have cooler winters. It’s also one of the driest countries with an average annual rainfall of less than 600 millimeters. In fact, retirees can enjoy an entire year of sunshine in Queensland and New South Wales!
Jill and Owen Weeks, authors of the book Where to Retire in Australia, said that although the needs of retirees vary, they generally want good climate, relatively low cost of living, top medical facilities, low crime rates, and leisure places. Australia no doubt fits the bill for these criteria.
We curated this list from OverSixty, Financial Mappers, Finder, and Retirement Living Online. The more frequent the place is recommended in the said sites, the higher rank it is given. In this list, we will look closely at what each location has to offer and why it is beneficial for seniors to spend their retirement years there.
10: Tweed Heads, New South Wales
9: Coolangatta, Queensland
8: Esperance, Western Australia
7: Merimbula, New South Wales
6: Echuca, Victoria
5: Yankalilla, South Australia
4: Huon Valley, Tasmania
3: Mornington Peninsula, Victoria
2: Hunter Valley, New South Wales
1: Sunshine Coast, Queensland

St. John Ambulance – Canada’s Premier First Aid Training Organization

By


Description given on Youtube:
http://www.sja.ca St. John Ambulance in Canada really serves two purposes. Our first purpose is public training, educating people on how to save a life. The second component is really community services, being involved in the community and delivering community service. The depth of St. John certainly goes well beyond the borders of Canada. Operating in 42 different countries, we run the gamut and we do first aid treatment and we do patient transport, we are involved in fire services. There is a whole host of activities that St. John is involved in.

Getting our start in 1099 we go back to the crusades and were very much involved in war and in battle. Over time, it has really turned into an organization that is there to support, and train and help people across the world, in delivering first aid and CPR.
St. John Ambulance is Canada’s premier first aid provider. We’ve been involved in Canada since 1883. We taught our first first aid course in Quebec City, and that tradition has continued on today. We train more than 550,000 people to save a life on an annual basis.

All the revenue that we are generating through our training and product sales is really to go back into the community. We are focused on delivering service in the community. We have more than 12,000 volunteers that are contributing on an annual basis, and those volunteers amount to more than 1 million hours back to the community. We have medical first responders, we have a youth program, we have campus response teams, we have emergency services, we have therapy dogs, we have car seat safety teams. We really cover the gamut in Canada.

St. John Ambulance is a rewarding organization for our volunteers to be involved in. It gives them a chance to give back to that local community, and they can really choose how they want to do that. Through the different programs that we have there is something that caters to absolutely everyone. Saving a life is an easy thing that anyone can learn to do. It’s a matter of having the training, knowing what to do and how to respond. Anyone can make a difference.
