It's not either alternative energy sources or fossil fuels, Dr. Carl Bauer, director of the US Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory, told The Jerusalem Post at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya this week. "The reality is that it's got to be a combination. The largest percentage of energy comes from fossil fuels, and the capital resources to move just to alternative sources is huge," so it's unrealistic to think that we'll be doing away with fossil fuels anytime soon, Bauer said. Armed with that philosophy, his lab both researches how to generate energy from fossil fuels in an environmentally safe and cost-effective way, as well as alternative and renewable sources of energy such as hydrogen, solar and wind. During a round-table discussion open to the public, Bauer said the Arizona Power Company followed a similar model. "Notice that it is all one facility. Fossil fuels, wind, solar, CO2 capture, hydrogassification and algae," all under one roof, he said. Bauer was visiting Israel this week at the head of a delegation from his lab. On Tuesday, they participated in a day-long session on energy at the IDC and signed a memorandum of understanding with the school. "We are the only wholly government-owned and operated of the 17 Department of Energy laboratories," he told the Post, "and that gives us an edge. Private industry is eager to work with us because we have no profit motive and are no threat to the proprietary technologies we develop together." The National Energy Technology Laboratory conducts research at its three locations in the US and funds academic and industry research. "We make the use of fossil fuels environmentally acceptable and economically viable," he said. The lab develops energy technologies and then demonstrates to private industry that they are economically viable. They also enter into partnerships with private industry. Twenty percent to 50% of the research costs are usually borne by the private sector, Bauer said. Among the laboratory's achievements is reducing emissions from coal-burning power plants to almost nonexistent. Emissions from earlier coal factories caused acid rain over wide areas. Israel has a coal-burning plant in Ashkelon and is considering building another. "Nox [nitrogen oxide], particulate matter and mercury have all been brought under control. There have been several generations of advancement in the market already," he said. That is particularly important because the US has abundant coal that can now be cleanly converted into electricity. Asked about alternatives to oil, Bauer said that was more difficult. One possibility was bio-fuels, he said, and a promising bio-fuel project focuses on algae. Dr. Isaac Berzin of the IDC has been working extensively with algae and Bauer said he was eager to see if some sort of collaboration could be worked out. Algae could also help reduce greenhouse gases because carbon dioxide capture can be used to accelerate the growth of algae, Bauer said. Algae has great potential to be rendered into fuel and doesn't use valuable resources like land and potable water, he added. Captured carbon dioxide might also eventually be transformed into energy through some of the technologies under development, according to Bauer. Some of the other projects focus on using hydrogen, solid oxide fuel cells and solid state lighting. The National Energy Technology Laboratory also focuses on streamlining buildings and electricity transmission. A lot of energy can be saved through more efficient buildings and electricity, he said. The laboratory seeks to bring together the best minds, Bauer said at the roundtable. "We all have one piece of the answer, now how do we address the overall problem?" he said.


The AMPS suite can also be amended with another counter-measure. The use of DIRCM technology has been requrested by more and more customers as jamming with a laser based DIRCM is often more effective against enhanced IR guided missiles compared to the traditional use of flares. In addition the aircrew would not run out of counter-measures which is another reason for many Air Forces to use DIRCM as the counter-measure system. The MILDS MWS is compatible in terms of accuracy and Pre-Alarm capability. Moreover the low FAR of MILDS ensures a high reliability of the DIRCM.

Responses of water productivity to irrigation and N supply for hybrid maize seed production in an arid region of Northwest China
- Ran, Hui, Kang, Shaozhong, Li, Fusheng, Du, Taisheng, Ding, Risheng, Li, Sien, Tong, Ling
- Journal of Arid Land 2017 v.9 no.4 pp. 504-514
- arid lands, arid zones, biomass, corn, crop yield, evapotranspiration, field capacity, field experimentation, hybrids, irrigation rates, nitrogen, sustainable development, China
- Water and nitrogen (N) are generally two of the most important factors in determining the crop productivity. Proper water and N managements are prerequisites for agriculture sustainable development in arid areas. Field experiments were conducted to study the responses of water productivity for crop yield (WP Y₋ET) and final biomass (WP B₋ET) of film-mulched hybrid maize seed production to different irrigation and N treatments in the Hexi Corridor, Northwest China during April to September in 2013 and also during April to September in 2014. Three irrigation levels (70%–65%, 60%–55%, and 50%–45% of the field capacity) combined with three N rates (500, 400, and 300 kg N/hm²) were tested in 2013. The N treatments were adjusted to 500, 300, and 100 kg N/hm² in 2014. Results showed that the responses of WP Y₋ET and WP B₋ET to different irrigation amounts were different. WP Y₋ET was significantly reduced by lowering irrigation amounts while WP B₋ET stayed relatively insensitive to irrigation amounts. However, WP Y₋ET and WP B₋ET behaved consistently when subjected to different N treatments. There was a slight effect of reducing N input from 500 to 300 kg/hm² on the WP Y₋ET and WP B₋ET , however, when reducing N input to 100 kg/hm², the values of WP Y₋ET and WP B₋ET were significantly reduced. Water is the primary factor and N is the secondary factor in determining both yield (Y) and final biomass (B). Partial factor productivity from applied N (PFPN) was the maximum under the higher irrigation level and in lower N rate (100–300 kg N/hm²) in both years (2013 and 2014). Lowering the irrigation amount significantly reduced evapotranspiration (ET), but ET did not vary with different N rates (100–500 kg N/hm²). Both Y and B had robust linear relationships with ET, but the correlation between B and ET (R ²=0.8588) was much better than that between Y and ET (R ²=0.6062). When ET increased, WP Y₋ET linearly increased and WP B₋ET decreased. Taking the indices of Y, B, WP Y₋ET , WP B₋ET and PFP N into account, a higher irrigation level (70%–65% of the field capacity) and a lower N rate (100–300 kg N/hm²) are recommended to be a proper irrigation and N application strategy for plastic film-mulched hybrid maize seed production in arid Northwest China.

By Gunma Center, Japan (Originally in Japanese)
On December 17, 2015, following Master’s kind example of giving to those in need, our Gunma Center Association members distributed Christmas gifts to homeless people in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. We had been giving out Christmas gifts to the homeless people in the cities of Takasaki and Maebashi up until December 2014, but this year, we did not see many homeless people in Maebashi. This is most likely because Maebashi has been providing housing to those who are homeless. Thus, we focused on Takasaki.
At the Takasaki transportation station, which is the main station in Gunma Prefecture, there were a few homeless people sleeping in the cold. When we offered them vegan food, fruits, bread, undergarments, hats, gloves and long jackets, they accepted them happily and showed angel-like smiles. We are very grateful for Master’s blessing, as we have noticed more of our homeless friends are able to find the safety of shelter, and less are living on the streets each year.

Here in the “Salmon Capitol of the World,” it can be easy to forget that other seafood species are harvested commercially in the Ketchikan area.
Some of those fisheries are starting now. The commercial dive harvest seasons for geoduck clams, sea cucumbers and sea urchins — and the commercial shrimp pot season — are launching early this month in specified areas of Southeast Alaska.
These aren’t huge fisheries. Together, the dive harvest fisheries paid harvesters a total of about $8.66 million during the 2015/16 season, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s 2018 report to the Alaska Board of Fisheries. The commercial shrimp pot fishery paid about $2.1 million during the 2016-17 season.
That’s still a solid fall-season economic boost for the harvesters and Southeast Alaska communities involved in these fisheries.
In this sense, Ketchikan is fortunate in the ability to make use of these natural resources. We recall the work of many people, including the late Rep. Bill Williams of Saxman, in developing the dive harvest fisheries in Southeast Alaska. It wasn’t easy. Nor is the dive fisheries’ future guaranteed.
One big issue is the expanding range of sea otters. The voracious mammals quite enjoy shellfish, and they’ve made substantial inroads along the outer coast after being reintroduced in the 1960s. By 2010, they’d “turned the corner” around the southern end of Prince of Wales Island and into Clarence Strait. Solutions for managing the sea otter population have proven elusive, potentially threatening the long term viability of the dive fisheries — and others, such as Dungeness crab — in the region.
For this season, however, Fish and Game has set overall harvest quotas of about 637,000 pounds of geoduck clams, 1.9 million pounds of sea cucumbers, 3.53 million pounds of sea urchins and 508,700 pounds of pot shrimp in Southeast Alaska.
Here’s wishing good and safe seasons for all involved in the fall commercial fisheries. That includes the winter commercial troll season for chinook salmon, which is scheduled to start on Oct. 11. It’s great to have these commercial fisheries continuing here.

5 Reasons Your Addicted Loved One is Refusing to Go to Treatment
Watching someone struggle with addiction to drugs or alcohol might make you feel frustrated, angry, or anxious. It can be hard to understand why someone facing severe harm to their health, safety, and relationships might continue to abuse substances–and why they’d refuse to seek treatment.
Addiction isn’t a choice. It is a condition that affects every aspect of a person’s life. Addiction often has many complex roots in a person’s biology, environment, and life experiences. It is sometimes complicated for addicts to imagine life being different than it is, even when things are going wrong.
There are many reasons people refuse to go to rehab and several barriers preventing them from getting the help they need quickly. Knowing some of the most common reasons people don’t seek rehab may help you better understand an addicted loved one. It may also help you effectively encourage them to seek desperately needed treatment.
For more information about starting addiction treatment or support during recovery, reach out to the PAX Memphis staff today.
5 Reasons People Refuse to Go to Rehab
Sometimes, people are quick to think of addiction as a choice. When addicts refuse treatment, it can be incredibly frustrating. You might wonder if the person really wants to get better or assume they have nothing to gain from accepting sobriety.
The truth is that no one chooses addiction. There are often reasons people refuse to go to rehab. Here are five of the most common reasons people don’t seek rehab.
Denial is a powerful coping mechanism that prevents people from taking in the severity of their problems. Mental health specialists believe that, in some cases, denial can protect our minds from the reality of an overwhelming situation and allows people to cope with immensely stressful events.
When someone is addicted to drugs or alcohol, denial can keep them from seeing that their substance abuse has become a problem. People with addiction may lose jobs and relationships, face legal or financial trouble, or develop severe medical conditions and not realize they need help.
Even when others can see the severe, negative impact of addiction, the addict may continue to refuse treatment.
2. Fear of Rehab
Many people have anxiety about something new. Starting a new job, enrolling at a new school, moving to a new city–all of these can make people feel a little afraid. Going to rehab is a significant new experience that may trigger that fear. They may fear rehab will be like what they see on TV or in movies. It may be hard to imagine feeling safe or comfortable in a new place.
One of the most significant reasons addicts refuse treatment is because they fear going through detox. Most people require a period of medically-supervised detox before beginning a treatment program. Detoxification is a natural process, but it is often very uncomfortable.
As the body rids itself of toxins and adjusts to the absence of drugs and alcohol, people may experience various withdrawal symptoms. Common withdrawal symptoms include sweating, tremors, insomnia, nausea, and body aches. People may understandably fear long periods of discomfort as they go through withdrawal. This may prevent them from seeking treatment altogether.
3. Fear of Failure
Some people with addiction may have an intense fear of failure that prevents them from seeking treatment. They may worry that they’ll let themself down by relapsing after treatment, or they may think their friends and family will be disappointed.
The hard truth is that most people in recovery do experience at least one relapse. It’s essential to think about addiction recovery as a journey rather than a final destination. There are likely to be twists and turns and setbacks along the way. These are not signs that a person isn’t capable of succeeding.
The stigma surrounding substance abuse and addiction can make people feel too vulnerable or embarrassed to seek treatment. In many cases, people may need to take time away from their daily lives to attend treatment. They may need to stop working or going to school and leave their families for some time.
An addicted loved one may feel embarrassed at the idea of their children, employer, friends, or coworkers knowing they are in treatment for addiction. The idea of admitting they have a problem and seeking treatment may seem worse than continuing to abuse drugs or alcohol.
5. Fear of Change
Most people have a fear of making big changes. In some cases, even when many parts of a person’s life are unhealthy or damaging, the idea of change is scary. People with addiction may hesitate to give up what is familiar–even when their substance abuse is wreaking havoc on their lives.
People may wonder what their life will be like in recovery. A second chance at life may feel less like an exciting opportunity and more like a heavy burden.
One of the most significant reasons addicts refuse treatment is because they don’t want to face the consequences of their addiction. They may fear that the reality of their broken relationships, health problems, missed opportunities, and lost memories may be overwhelming.
No one has to carry the weight of addiction alone. Comprehensive, compassionate treatment and support it available.

I/ITSEC 2021: BISim supports Kongsberg’s new CORE
Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace has teamed with Bohemia Interactive Simulations (BISim) to jointly develop simulation solutions for the Protector family of Remote Weapon Systems (RWS), which includes remote stations and remote turrets.
According to Shephard Defence Insight, Protector covers a range of different weapon systems and calibres.
A device known as the CORE Training Simulator, which can be used for classroom training and embedded simulation as part of the RWS, was unveiled at I/ITSEC 2021. The new device uses BISim’s VBS4 visualisation system.
Kongsberg said that the major benefit of the new simulator is that as well as initial classroom training, operators can train on the real equipment when deployed in the field.
‘The CORE Training Simulator sets a new standard for training simulators by enabling training on actual Protector systems with simulated scenarios,’ explained Pia Andersen, Programme Director Through Life Support at Kongsberg.
‘Because you are using real equipment, training with control grips and interacting with buttons, this approach to training improves and strengthens muscle memory. It’s also more engaging, which improves knowledge retention and drives behavioural change.’
Shephard understands that one of the reasons that Kongsberg selected VBS4 was its associated World Server that allows Protector customers to train anywhere in the world.
The CORE Training Simulator also includes a VBS Instructor Operating System (IOS) that allows instructors to monitor multiple trainees and, ‘observing operator system interactions during the live training sessions, including aiming technique, observation technique, weapon settings, and much more.’

Associate Professor Tim StPierre
Position: Associate Professor, Physics
Affiliation: University of Western Australia, School of Physics
Phone: +61 (08) 6488 2747
Associate Professor St Pierre is a biophysicist. From 1991-93 he was the recipient of a Cooley’s Anemia Foundation (New York) Fellowship. From 1993 to 1995 he was appointed as Senior Research Fellow (ARC funded) in the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at Murdoch University. From 1995 to the present he has been employed as a member of faculty in the School of Physics at The University of Western Australia. His research career has centred on investigating the structure and magnetic properties of biogenic iron minerals and their interactions with external magnetic fields. These studies have had particular relevance to understanding the toxicity, chelatability and non-invasive detection and quantification of pathological iron deposits such as hemosiderin in iron overload diseases including thalassaemia and hereditary haemochromatosis. His studies have resulted in 81 refereed publications in international journals, 3 invited book chapters, 6 book chapters (conference proceedings), 2 articles in national professional journals, and an international patent. The international patent has resulted in the formation of a spin-off company, Inner Vision Biometrics Pty Ltd and the formation of an ASX listed company Resonance Health Ltd. A/Prof St Pierre has been invited to speak at several international conferences (keynote speaker at three international conferences) and was invited to participate in the NIH Workshop on Non-invasive Iron Measurement held in Washington DC in 2001. He has won 23 research grants since 1991 (as chief or co-chief investigator) totalling over $2.4 million. He also has consultancy contracts with the Swiss-based pharmaceutical company, Novartis Pharma.
A/Prof St Pierre works in the field of the structure and magnetism of nanoscale iron oxides, particularly those found in biological systems. His most significant contributions lie in his multidisciplinary approach to the subject. By bringing together a physical approach and chemical approach to the problem several new insights into the structure-magnetism relationship have been gained. For example, he and his team have developed methods of building iron oxide particles within ferritin cages with both controlled numbers of iron atoms and controlled degrees of crystallinity. In addition, the use of polysaccharide templates has enabled the synthesis of rod-like iron oxide nanoparticles. This has enabled an unprecedented systematic investigation into the relationships between structure and magnetic properties of oxide nanoparticles. Much of A/Prof St. Pierre's recent research has been aimed at the application of results from this research field to biomedical problems. In particular, his investigations have led to a greater understanding of the structure of pathogenic iron deposits in iron overload disorders such as thalassaemia and haemochromatosis. Research into exploiting the magnetic properties of iron in magnetic resonance imaging has resulted in an international patent and the establishment of a start-up company to commercialise novel methodologies.

Riedel: AV infrastructure reimagined
Broadcasting company NextRadioTV has deployed a large-scale MediorNet real-time signal network from Riedel Communications to service as the backbone for their new audiovisual infrastructure.
The 204-node MediorNet system has been installed in the new NextRadioTV facilities on the Paris campus of the Altice Group, which acquired NextRadioTV in 2016, to support signal distribution, routing, and processing over a single decentralized real-time network.
“Our move to the Altice campus gave us a tremendous opportunity to build technical facilities from scratch and to establish a common infrastructure for all our TV and radio channels,” said Antoine Robelin, Technical Director at NextRadioTV. “The scalable, state-of-the-art technology integrated into these new facilities gives us added agility in producing and broadcasting events from across our remarkable portfolio of 24/7 news, documentaries, and live sports. In addition to supporting flexible day-to-day operations, our Riedel gear gives us the ability to take advantage of mature and reliable network technologies that will eventually support a smooth transition toward IP.”
Highlights of the upgraded system
The new installation at NextRadioTV includes 18 MetroN core fiber routers and 186 MicroN high-density media distribution network devices distributed across the campus. The MediorNet backbone leverages a new cabling infrastructure, including a wealth of previously installed dark fibers, to address factors including long distances between production studios/control rooms/technical rooms and the need to be able to scale up quickly and easily to new requirements.
Riedel’s decentralized concept was also very valuable in managing a smooth and incremental move from the former building to the new one. Dark fibers in both buildings were used to create the real-time network, which further facilitated the migration process. The flexibility of the Riedel equipment enabled NextRadioTV to design and implement new galleries while the new installation was underway.
“We are really proud to see our MediorNet technology at the heart of this brand-new broadcast technology showcase in Paris,” said Franck Berger, Riedel Communications General Manager, France and Africa. “With MediorNet, NextRadioTV is equipped to embrace innovations such as decentralized routing while taking a thoughtful and gradual approach toward IP-based networks and workflows. The Altice campus installation demonstrates how an investment in Riedel equipment can yield valuable results immediately and as a broadcast organization evolves.

Due to recalculations in each underlying emission inventory submission, all calculations of emission reduction potentials in the WM and WAM scenario of the respective projection are regularly updated. Furthermore, additional measures that had been included in the WAM scenario in the projection before can become part of the WM scenario in the following projection, as they were put into force in the meantime (e. g. 44th BImSchV). In addition, updated GHG emission projections using most recent projections of economic and other parameters result in a new projection of activity rates that needs to be considered for updating the emission projections of air pollutants. For the draft German NAPCP of 2023, which is the draft of the second German NAPCP under directive (EU) 2016/2284, last step to check was, whether new additional measures are needed for compliance to the emission reduction commitments, because of the updates described above.
The following figures show the differences between inventory submissions 2018, 2020 and 2022 for historic emissions as well as the differences between the WAM emission projections reported in 2019 (consistent with the NAPCP 2019), reported in 2021 and reported in 2023 (consistent with the draft NAPCP 2023) for each pollutant. In addition, for the emission projections 2023 the WM scenario is shown up to the year 2040. For each pollutant a brief explanation of the most relevant reasons for the occurring differences compared to the previous reporting is given. For explanation of the differences between reporting in 2021 and 2019 please see the IIR of the 2021 reporting1).
For NOX, recalculations within the inventory submission 2022 lead to changes in historic years predominantly in sector 2.B.2 (nitric acid production)2), that were compensating the positive recalculations from inventory submission 2021, when comparing submissions 2022 and 2020. The current WM scenario is slightly below the WAM scenario of the 2021 projection. Main reasons are the updates in road transport emission factors in HBEFA 4.2 (aging factors, etc.) as well as a higher share of electric vehicles in the 2030 fleet. The current WAM scenario goes further below the WAM scenario of the 2021 projection. An accelerated coal phase-out by 2030, introduction of Euro 7 and a higher share of electric vehicles in the fleet in 2030 in the WAM scenario of the draft NAPCP 2023 are the main drivers for additional emission reductions.
In 2020 a significant drop of mileage, against an increasing long-term trend, especially for passenger cars appeared. In combination with an ongoing decrease in the implied emission factors through regular fleet renewal, an extraordinary decrease in NOX emissions was the result. This drop in overall mileage of passenger cars, probably caused by the lockdown period during the pandemic as well as a higher share of home office workers, does not appear to be continuing in the coming years. Therefore, the projection follows the long-term trend of increasing mileage, especially for passenger cars. Projected potential emission reductions in road transport are therefore only caused by a further decrease of implied emission factors of the fleet, by regular fleet renewal, Euro 7 and an increasing share of electric vehicles.
For SOX, the current WM scenario is slightly above the WAM scenario of the 2021 projection, mainly because of more conservative assumptions regarding decline in SOX emissions from the industry sector. Due to the accelerated coal phase-out by 2030 the current WAM scenario is below the former WAM scenarios with a coal phase-out until 2038.
NMVOC emission projections are strongly influenced by economic projections. Updates on these are therefore causing changes in NMVOC emission projections. However, the latest historic emissions in 2020 are already below the current projections for 2025 to 2040 in the draft NAPCP 2023, which is caused by decreases over all sectors.
Submission 2021 contained recalculations of NH3 emissions in historic years mainly because of introducing dairy heifers (dairy and slaughter heifers are now treated separately in the inventory) and a methodological change in emission calculations for inorganic fertilisers, leading to significantly lower emissions and less variation from one year to another3). This is the main reason that emission projections of the draft NAPCP 2023 are systematically lower than former projections. As a result, absolute emissions to be reached in 2020 and 2030 following the relative reduction commitments are lower than before. Despite a similar trend in the current emission projections compared to 2021 WAM projection, assumptions of reduction potentials of WM and WAM measures are more conservative now, but compensated by assuming further decreases in animal numbers, especially cattle. This is further explained in the draft NAPCP 2023.
Differences in current projections of fine PM emissions (PM2.5) are a consequence of many factors.
First, recalculations took place in submission 2021 in sector 2.G in the use of fireworks and the use of tobacco4) and in submission 2022 in 1.A.3.d. ii (national navigation)5) leading to lower PM2.5 emissions over all historic years compared to submission 2020. The change in 2005 results in lower absolute emissions to be reached in 2020 and 2030 regarding the relative emission reduction commitments compared to the 2021 projections and further in systematically lower projections based on submission 2022 compared to 2021 projections. Still, the WM scenario of the draft NAPCP 2023 is above the WAM scenario of the NAPCP 2019 because of the same reason as in 2021 projection (more conservative methodology to project activity rates in certain industrial sectors)6). Finally, the current WAM scenario is compliant with the emission reduction commitment in 2030 due to additional emission reductions through the accelerated coal phase-out by 2030 and the road transport package. Increasing emissions in the building sector due to a projected increase in biomass use can be compensated by additional measures to further reduce the implied emission factors of small combustion installations burning woody biomass. However, if looking at the year 2020 of submission 2022 current WM and WAM scenario are quite conservative due to conservative assumptions over almost all sectors.

Title : Application of a Flux Vector Splitting Methodology towards the Solution of Unsteady Transonic Flows, with Future Emphasis on the Blade Flutter Problem.

Abstract : This study presents a method, based on the flux vector splitting approach, to the problem of unsteady two dimensional inviscid transonic flows, with emphasis on the numerical determination of the shock position, through nozzles with varying back pressure. The method, governed by Euler equations, is first explained for one and two dimensional steady state applications, and the accuracy of the results is validated by comparison with exact (one dimension and numerical (two dimensions) solutions. The model is then applied to the problem of fluctuating back pressure in quasi one dimensional and two dimensional flows. The one dimensional results are validated by comparison with a small perturbation analytical unsteady solution, whereafter sample cases are performed with the objective to understand fundamental aspects of unsteady flows. It is concluded that both the amplitude and frequency of the imposed fluctuating exit pressure are important parameters for location of the unsteady shock. It is also shown that the average unsteady shock position is not identical with the steady state position, and that the unsteady shock may, under certain circumstances, propagate upstream into the subsonic flow domain. The pressure jump over the shock, as well as the unsteady post-shock pressure, is different for identical shock-positions during the cycle of fluctuation, which implies that an unsteady shock movement, imposed by oscillating back pressure, may introduce a significant unsteady lift and moment. This may be of importance for flutter predictions.

Friday Top of the Scroll: California drought – Dozens of communities are at risk of running out of water
In Fort Bragg on the Mendocino Coast, city leaders are rushing to install an emergency desalination system. In Healdsburg, lawn watering is banned with fines of up to $1,000. In Hornbrook, a small town in Siskiyou County, faucets have gone completely dry, and the chairman of the water district is driving 15 miles each way to take showers and wash clothes. So far, California’s worsening drought has been an inconvenience in big cities. But it’s already imperiling an alarming number of communities, especially between the Bay Area and the Oregon border, threatening the water supplies for more than 130,000 people.

Knitted fabric sensors have been widely used as strain sensors in the sports health field and its large strain performance and structure are suitable for human body movements. When a knitted structure is worn, different human body movements are reflected through the large strain deformation of fabric structure and consequently change the electrical signal. Here, the mechanical and electrical properties of highly elastic knitted sweatpants were tested under large strain. This sensor has good sensitivity and stability during movement. Compared with traditional motion monitoring, this technique divides the walking cycle into two stages, namely, stance and swing phases, which can be further subdivided into six stages. The corresponding resistance characteristic values can accurately distinguish the gait cycle. Analysis on hysteresis and repeatability revealed that the sensor exhibits a constant electrical performance. Four kinds of motion postures were predicted and judged by comparing the resistance characteristic range value, peak value calculation function and time axis. The measured sensor outputs were transferred to a computer via 4.0 Bluetooth. Matlab language was used to detect the status through a rule-based algorithm and the sensor outputs.

Jersey chamber concern over planning costs
The cost of planning applications in Jersey are becoming a barrier to construction, according to the island's Chamber of Commerce president.
David Warr said the fees which have to be paid by developers when they submit plans for approval are far higher than in Guernsey or the UK.
The Planning Department announced a 2.5% rise in the fees for commercial building applications.
Mr Warr said the level of charges needed to be reviewed.
He said: "The main concern that Chamber have is the inability to get the biggest projects shovel-ready and get them building.
"Given the state the economy is in at the moment we are mystified that £100m worth of investment is waiting to be put into St Helier and we are struggling to get through the planning phases."
Environment minister, Deputy Rob Duhamel said he was made to increase fees by the Treasury Department.
He said: "We didn't put up our fees because I wanted to. We put up our fees because the Treasury Department assessed that the way for us to make savings was for us to increase fees.
"If the treasury is in a position to offer our department more money so we don't need to put our fees to fund our department then I would be happy not to increase fees at all."
The Jersey Construction Council condemned the increase in planning fees.
Vice-Chairman Phil James said: "This decision has been taken without any reference to the impact it could have on construction projects getting off the drawing board."
"The 2.5% increase may seem small but when placed in the context of a multi-million pound project, the sum will have a significant influence on whether it happens."


ILION, N.Y. -- Village officials in Ilion are hoping that a new, two-mile water main will help clean up their water.
Ilion Mayor Brian Lamica says that village officials approved a plan to install a new pipe this coming spring.
That will connect village wells on the north end to the reservoir and water treatment system.
Lamica says it will cost around $3 million, and the project is part of the $32 million plan that was discussed late last year.
The village of Ilion is still considering a partnership with Mohawk Valley Water Authority, and if they do collaborate this water pipe would still be needed.

Toward a Definition of Love
Romantic love is a special case within a wider category. We can feel many different types of love. From romantic love to the love that exists between parent and child. From the love of friends to the love of animals and so on.
In the general sense love is our emotional response to that which we value. It is the experience of joy in the existence of the loved object. Joy in proximity, joy in interaction and involvement.
To love is to delight in the being whom one loves. To experience pleasure in that being’s presence. It is to find fulfilment in contact with that being. We experience the loved being as a source of fulfilment to strong needs.
But love is more than an emotion; it is a judgment or evaluation. Every emotion reflects the judgment of “for me” or “against me” – and also “to what extent.”
Love is the highest, the most intense, expression of the assessment “for me,” “good for me,” “beneficial to my life.” In the person of someone we love we see, in high measure, many of those traits and characteristics that we feel are appropriate to life.
Life as we understand and experience it.
The traits we see in another we see as desirable for our own well-being and happiness.
Every emotion contains an inherent urge to perform some action related to that particular emotion. The emotion of fear is a person’s response to that which threatens his or her values. It entails the urge to avoid or flee from the feared object.
The emotion of love entails the urge to achieve some form of contact with the loved being, some form of interaction or involvement.
Finally we may describe love as representing an orientation, an attitude or a psychological state with regard to the loved being. It is deeper and more enduring than any moment-by-moment alteration of feeling or emotion. As an orientation, love represents a disposition to experience the loved being as the embodiment of important personal values – and, as a consequence, a real or potential source of joy.
Romantic love thus responds to basic needs. There is the need to love, and to admire. The need to be loved, and feel visible. The need for self-discovery and sexual fulfilment.
There is also the need for a private universe, a refuge from the struggles of the world. And there is the need to share our excitement in being alive – and to enjoy and be nourished by the excitement of another.

- Discussing the most up to date version of the code at the time of writing, with the latest Steam client beta
- I am not an expert when it comes to reverse engineering of binaries. Nonetheless, I’ve found all the pieces relevant for GloSC and will share that knowledge with you.
My basic idea before creating GloSC was simple: An application that makes all of the Steam Controller functionality available, without beeing locked to focus a single specific window.
List of things needed for that:
- A Gamepad emulation driver for a system-wide gamepad
- A transparent, clickthrough, always on top window for Steam to draw its overlay into.
- A way to enforce a specific controller binding
With that outta the way, grab some coffee and let’s work our way down the list.
The easy stuff:
1. Controller emulation
Probably the most important part of the whole project is the ability to use the Controller as, well, a controller and not only keyboard/mouse on a system-wide level.
Since I have no idea on how to write Windows drivers, even less idea of ones that create virtual devices, I started out contacting the author of the SCPToolkit, that previously has been used to get system-wide XInput bindings for the Steam Controller.
The previous solution was clunky and used another third party framework, in addition to relying on a driver that originally only was intended for DualShock 3 controllers.
So, naturally, I asked for a better way and he told me about this really cool project he’s been working on:
ViGEm, the Virtual Gamepad Emulation Framework.
A sample program of the project is a bridge between ViGEm and x360ce, another XInput controller emulator.
Instead of x360ce faking XInput devices and piping that to ViGEm, we just let Steam fake the XInput device, like it already does for applications launched through Steam and then
Copy pasta code and… profit?
It really was that easy…
Later on, when Steam added support for any gamepad other than the Steam Controller, Steam also detected the virtual controllers from ViGEm and faked an additional Controller.
That one got piped to ViGEm, creating yet another virtual controller and so Steam faked another one that got piped to ViGEm, creating…
Look, You know where this is going.
Luckily, though, ViGEm was also updated in the meantime and implemented a feature suggestion of mine: Changing the USB Vendor- and Product-ID of the created virtual device.
Now, we just set the IDs of Valve’s Steam Controller and Steam doesn’t know what to do with the (virtual) device since the HID reports are wrong and it doesn’t detect it anymore.
As long as we only want to support a single controller, everything is fine and dandy.
For multiple controllers, the story looks a little bit different, though.
We have Steam not detecting our virtual controllers, but we ourselves have no way of knowing which is which!
The XInput-API has no way of reading the USB-IDs from a device and Steam doesn’t hide the virtual controllers from us. That creates a bit of a problem…
Or does it?
The solution is simple:
Steam hooks the “XInputGetState()” function in our executable, and we use the result of said function for our controller emulation.
We un-patch and re-patch said hook every time we want to read the state of a controller.
Conveniently, as API hooks usually work, the first five bytes of the “XInputGetState()” function get replaced with a JMP (==jump) instruction and the address to jump to.
All we need to do is to wait until Steam has hooked said function, store the patched bytes in a buffer, replace them with the real five bytes and we can call the now un-hooked function.
Afterward, we re-patch Steam’s hook for the next cycle.
Using the results of the patched and real function, we can decide if we need to “plug in” a new virtual controller or not.
2. Transparent Window
I found a little Windows specific snippet somewhere on how to create a transparent OpenGL window with SFML and tried that.
It’s nothing really more than creating an SFML window and these four lines of code
MARGINS margins; margins.cxLeftWidth = -1; SetWindowLong(window.getSystemHandle(), GWL_STYLE, WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE); //Remove window frame DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea(window.getSystemHandle(), &margins); //Actually make the window transparent SetWindowPos(sfWindow.getSystemHandle(), HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE); //Additionaly set the window to be always on top
You can find a minimal example here.
Compile that -> Launch via Steam -> Yep, the overlay is showing up!
Combine with copy pasta controller emulation code, and we are starting to make some real progress.
In fact, great progress so far. We’ve got a virtual system-wide XInput device and the Steam overlay can be drawn on top of every other window of the system.
We could just stop here and re-use our desktop-config setup with XInput bindings and call it a day.
But I wanted more.
For the Steam overlay to work properly, the window of the application launched by Steam has to be currently focused. So, we need a way to detect that.
Quickly checking the exported functions of “GameOverlayRenderer.dll” we get this:
“BOverlayNeedsPresent” looks promising, but didn’t turn out to be all too useful when playing with it. So we need another way.
At first, I’ve tried using CheatEngine to just get a pointer to a variable that tells me if the overlay is currently opened or not.
And while that works great, Steam updates most of the time change the address of this pointer and I’d have to update GloSC. Bad! We need a better way.
It’s getting more difficult.
So I went to work with x64dbg, poking in my running executable with the Steam overlay attached to it.
When searching for intermodular calls in “GameOverlayRenderer.dll”, we see, aside from tons of OpenGL calls, a lot of calls to “PostMessage()” and a call to “SetWindowsHookEx()”
Jumping to the address of said call, this little string constant greets us
“WH_GETMESSAGE hook failed”
That seems interesting… The controller hook, as well as the overlay rendering, shouldn’t need that. Worth a shot looking at I guess…
A few instructions before the call, we see the address of the hook callback function and jump to it, set a breakpoint and try to open up the overlay.
Inspecting the arguments of the call, with a bit of reading up on MSDN, we know that the third argument (in the image, passed in r8, x64 Microsoft fastcall) is a pointer to an MSG structure.
A bit more reading and we know that values in the range of 0x0400 to 0x7FFF of the message member are available for private message identifiers.
We check against that, and it seems like we got a winner here…
But, it’s not over yet.
We still don’t know the message code and if we hit continue a few times in our debugger, we quickly notice that a metric butt-ton of messages gets sent. (More specifically: We are stuck in a loop.)
We need to dig deeper.
Let’s set a breakpoint on those “PostMessage()” calls.
Open up the overlay and…
Breakpoint hit! Continue a few times and see that we’re stuck in a loop… Again!
We disable this particular breakpoint and leave the others checked. The next one breaks…
Again, hitting continue, but this time the program doesn’t hit the breakpoint again and the overlay opens.
Let’s close the overlay and hit yet another one of our breakpoints, continue again and the program continues, the overlay closes.
After a bit more reading on MSDN, we inspect the Msg argument of the function and find that the values are 0x14FA / 0x14F7 when the overlay opens / closes. (At least on 64bit, Unicode)
A bit of coding later, setting the same hook on WH_GETMESSAGE as Steam does (For those asking: No, an own WindowProc function or GetMessage, PeekMessage, etc. didn’t work!) and inspecting the message and a bit of window-focus-switching, we have our overlay detection implemented and can continue on with the next task:
Per application bindings
Now, this one took me a while to do correctly, and I still am not really happy with how this works. But it’s the best we get for now.
As you may or may not know, the Steam Controller switches to desktop-config when the “Game” or in my case the GloSC window looses focus.
There currently is no way to disable this behavior officially, except when you have your very own Steam AppID.
Getting an arbitrary amount of AppIDs with arbitrary names attached to them obviously wouldn’t work for me.
So, we need another way to disable this behavior and force a specific set of bindings.
While debugging I found out that, if you have a console window you can somewhat enforce this by a bit of focus switch trickery that I don’t want to go on any deeper here. It’s not very reliable, uses a bug in Steam and overall is rather cringeworthy code.
You can still find it in the source, though.
Instead of this, I figured, the most reliable way to do this is to set another hook.
Unfortunately, though, the code that’s responsible for changing configs, couldn’t be found in the overlay-dll, so we have to look at the Steam executable and hook into that. (The part I’m not very happy about…)
When we go through the list of command-line arguments for Steam, we notice that there is a “-console” switch.
When we try that, Steam gets a lovely extra tab with a console.
A few “OnFocusWindowChanged” messages and the Steam AppID, as well as the full path to the config files, greet us here.
At first, I tried hooking “GetFocusedWindow()“, “GetActiveWindow()” as well as a few other WinAPI calls but didn’t really have any luck.
I didn’t really want to change the config files on the hard drive, which would have also been a valid option. Instead, I focused on the AppIDs.
If we hold down the Steam button, the controller is switching to the so-called “Steam Chord”-configuration. The AppID of which is 443510 or 0x6C47C in hex.
AppIDs of desktop and BigPicture config are 413080 and 413090 respectively.
I chose the AppID of the chords because it’s easier to just hold down the Steam button on the controller, opposed to switching windows all the time. I will also call this button “Breakpoint button” for this section from now on.
If we use x64dbg to search for constants in “Steam.exe” and according dll-files, we find a few comparisons with said value in “steamclient.dll”.
Jumping to the first one, it looks promising right away.
Some value gets moved into the EAX register and then compared to the Steam chord AppID.
We set a breakpoint, hit the “Breakpoint button” on our controller and see that it actually hit it. After hitting continue one or two times and watching the EAX register, we see that it now contains the AppID of the desktop config.
If we now use x64dbg to change that value to a different AppID every time it is the desktop config’s one to one of our choice, we might have enforced a specific set of controller bindings.
We do exactly that and find out that it actually works!
Now we need to write a bit of code and that does that without x64dbg.
I used a simple mid-function hook for that, as it is probably the easiest solution to do this.
To write such a hook, we write a handy little .dll-file that places a JMP instruction at the desired address, jumps to our own bit of assembly, in which we do our stuff and execute the overwritten instructions and then jump back.
We can grab the AppID of our launched program while we’re at it at in our assembly too!
Having done exactly that, about 100 lines of code later, we’ve got our dll which we can inject into Steam to enforce our controller bindings.
I’ve also included a function to reverse this hook and ship a custom dll-injector / -ejector with GloSC, too!
Combining all of the things we achieved so far, it seems like we got our minimum viable product.
Adding a bit more fluff on top, like a GUI for creating and configuring multiple different shortcuts, the result is neat little software package that allows one to use the Steam Controller with any game that might has trouble with all the hooks Steam sets and on top adds lacking functionality, like touch-menus, to the desktop, making the Steam Controller an even more versatile device that in already is.
What’s left, is to keep an eye out for what Valve does with their controller going forward and to support and maintain GloSC in the future.

JOHNSON COUNTY, Kan. — Some people living in the metro may be in for a shock the next time they reach for the tap.
WaterOne provides water for Johnson County.
The company said it’s getting reports that the tap water may smell or taste slightly different right now.
WaterOne says it’s a common issue that happens during the early part of the year.
It’s partly due to the changing weather conditions. WaterOne said rain, temperature, river water levels, and even runoff can change the water in the Missouri River. The river is where Johnson County gets its drinking water.
The water department said this process happened earlier than normal this year because it’s been warmer.
WaterOne says it already made adjustments to its treatment process and the water is safe.

The 82nd Iron Bowl between No. 1 Alabama and No. 6 Auburn is set to be one of the biggest games of the year, with serious national title implications and the SEC West title at stake.
The winner of the annual matchup has made it to seven of the last eight national championships, with Auburn making it twice and Alabama making it five times.
In the Gus Malzahn era at Auburn, the recipe for Auburn success has been a dual-threat quarterback who runs for 1,000 yards to go along with another 1,000-yard running back. This has been evident with Cam Newton in 2010 and Nick Marshall in 2013.
But, the past is the past and Auburn has moved onto bigger and better things and to a system more balanced and a reliance on quarterback Jarrett Stidham’s ability to accurately complete his passes downfield.
The Baylor transfer has broken the stigma that for Auburn to have success offensively they need a run-first quarterback. Stidham has been the opposite, throwing for 2,445 yards and 16 touchdowns while only rushing for 102 yards and three touchdowns.
No. 1 in the SEC in completion percentage (67.8), Stidham thrives when he can complete easy passes to get in a rhythm and then throw the ball downfield for the big play.
In love with the deep ball, Stidham is second in the SEC in completions of passes 30-plus yards with 49, which is compared to 29 from a Sean White-led offense.

The past two Iron Bowls, Auburn struggled offensively to move the ball downfield because the starting quarterback did not play. Jeremy Johnson ended up being the starter in both games and only completed 38 percent of his passes combined.
“I’m glad we have our starting quarterback healthy for this game," Malzahn said. "We haven’t had that in two years, so that’s a good feeling."
The lack of quarterback consistency caused the Tigers to struggle not just in the passing game, but it trickled down and affected the running game, with the Tigers rushing for under 100 yards in 2015 and 2016.
In 2016, Auburn was one of the most run reliant teams in the country, with 3,527 out of 5,730 total offensive yards coming from the ground.
Stidham’s addition to the team has made Auburn’s offense more balanced and dangerous. Auburn is only relying on the run 51 percent of the time thanks to Stidham’s success in the passing game.
"I think it's going to be big key for us, if we want to move the ball on these guys," Stidham said.
Despite hailing from the Lone Star State, Stidham is still fully aware of the high stakes that come with the Iron Bowl.
"This is exactly why I came here, to play in a game like this, with these kinds of implications," Stidham said. "This is why you play Division-I football, especially at a place like Auburn, in this state, against Alabama. It's a very big deal. And I'm really looking forward to it."
With the almost overwhelming hype surrounding the game and its players, Stidham is trying to keep a level head and approach the game the same as any other.
"From a preparation standpoint, it's got to be the same, just as if it was Louisiana-Monroe like last week," Stidham said. "It's a much bigger game, implications on the line, that kind of thing. Preparation, I don't think it needs to change too much, get out of that comfort zone.”
Other coaches have taken notice to Stidham’s progression throughout the season, including the coach that will be on the other sideline come Saturday.
"Their QB has played better and better,” Nick Saban said. “He has a tremendous amount of talent. He understands the offense better as the season has gone on. They’re giving him time to make plays with pass protection, and he’s been able to take advantage of it.”
The Campbell Award semifinalist knows what Saturday means to fans, students, players and the Auburn Family.
“We've got to be locked in this week and prepare as best as we can," Stidham said. "I think it's going to come down to whoever wants it more."
If Stidham can come in and deliver another victory over a No. 1 team in three weeks, he will not only live up to the preseason hype, but will inscribe his name in Auburn history.

Fasting serum concentrations of the individual bile acids were measured by gas chromatography in 27 patients with primary hyperlipoproteinemia (8 type IIa, 7 type IIb and 12 type IV) and in 14 healthy subjects. Total serum bile acid levels were 1618 +/- 244 ng/ml (SE) in type IIa, 1296 +/- 251 ng/ml in type IIb and 15609 +/- 263 ng/ml in type IV hyperlipoproteinemia. These values did not differ significantly from values in the control group (1505 +/- 200 ng/ml). Serum levels of cholic acid were significantly higher in patients with type IIa (551 +/- 78 ng/ml) than in those with type IIb (190 +/- 57 ng/ml, P < 0.01) and type IV (240 +/- 57 ng/ml, P < 0.02), while intermediate values were recorded in the control group (384 +/- 49 ng/ml). Ursodeoxycholic acid was found in larger amounts in hyperlipidemic patients than in controls. No significant differences with respect to other bile acids were observed between the groups examined. According to the current concepts on the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids, the findings support the hypothesis that the intestinal absorption of cholic acid may differ in various types of hyperlipoproteinemia.

Ancient Roman recipe to lower carbon emissions from concrete
A New Zealand cement company has launched a new, more environmentally-friendly type of cement based on an old Roman recipe. HR Cement in the port city of Tauranga examined ancient Roman concrete mixtures for inspiration for its low-carbon footprint cement, 'eco-cem'.
HR Cement has combined ancient methods with modern manufacturing techniques to create the more eco-friendly cement.
The company's Managing director Chris Hall that said eco-cem had the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete used on construction sites by 15 per cent to 30 per cent.
"Our focus when developing eco-cem was to produce a cement that has no downsides compared to the standard general purpose cement available, coupled with all the clear advantages of a pozzolanic cement, at a similar cost," Hall said.
The company said that eco-cem will get stronger over time, and provide increased abrasion resistance and improved durability.
According to HR Cement, if eco-cem cement was used instead of standard cement, it could possibly result in a reduction of 200,000 to 400,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

DIVISION OF FRACTIONS ONE TWIST AND DIVISION OF FRACTIONS TWO TWIST
* The "twist" here is that all these division examples are written out IN WORDS, not numbers, to make your students "think" a little more.
* ALL EXAMPLES ON BOTH WORKSHEETS ARE WRITTEN OUT IN WORDS!
* They must first READ the fractions correctly, then WRITE them correctly and then SOLVE them correctly (hopefully!)
* BOTH WORKSHEETS ARE SET UP LIKE THIS.
* There are 14 examples on worksheet ONE and 15 examples on worksheet TWO.
* These 29 examples will challenge their ability to divide fractions to lowest terms as well as read and write fractions correctly too.
* PLUS, there's a GEOMETRY BONUS question on the sides your students are asked to solve.
* Your download of 4 pages includes answers of course.
* These worksheets WILL SURELY TEST their ability to divide fractions well.
