This is a request by the Foundation Society for contractors to propose the design, development, construction, and operations planning of the first space settlement on the surface of Mercury.
1. Basic Requirements – Describe design, development, and construction of the Anconioh space settlement community, and develop plans for operations required to fulfill its business objectives. In order to avoid extreme environmental conditions on Mercury, the settlement will move around the planet, staying within 4° longitude of the terminator (line between day and night).
2. Structural Design – Anconioh must provide a safe and pleasant environment for 10,000 full- time residents, plus an additional transient population, not to exceed 1000 at any time, of business and official visitors, guests of residents, and vacationers; some of the visitors will be scientists studying Mercury, and workers from mining bases on Mercury.
2.1 Identify all volumes and their uses on exterior design drawings, and clearly show dimensions ofmajorstructuralfeatures. Provideaplatformneargroundlevelaroundtheentireperimeterofthe settlement, enabling space-suited humans to walk on and off anywhere. Show entry/exit locations to interior volumes for people and cargo; define dust mitigation methods. Provide protection from radiation of exposed structures. Designate pressurized and unpressurized volumes.
Minimum requirement: overall exterior view(s) of settlement, showing locations and sizes for habitable volumes, entry/exit locations, public utilities, residential/commercial areas, and agriculture.
2.2 The Anconioh design must specify uses of interior and exterior (e.g., top of settlement) areas, with areas designated, and drawings clearly labeled and dimensioned, to show residential, industrial, commercial, agricultural, and other uses. Show locations and configurations of ramps to enable vehicles to move on and off of the settlement. Show exterior stowage for ore containers and reardonium parts, and parking for vehicles.
Minimum requirement: map of interior and exterior land areas, showing usage and sizes of areas, including cargo and resources storage and/or warehousing.
2.3 Describe processes required to construct the settlement, by showing the sequence in which major structural components will be assembled, and settlement operations capabilities available at intermediate phases. Reardonium sheets can be joined by friction stir welding (FSW) with no loss of properties. FSW tools are portable, operate at about 4000 watts, and accomplish welds at 3 feet per minute for half-inch sheet, or 6 feet per minute for quarter-inch sheet. Before the settlement can move, construction / assembly will occur inside the end of a lava tube 250 meters wide and high. Plan to start moving the settlement, moving residents into the settlement, and to have Initial Operating Capability (IOC), before construction is complete. Early IOC is a customer priority. Minimum requirement: drawings showing at least five intermediate settlement construction steps.
2.4 Show the means by which the settlement will move around Mercury–whether self-propelled, towed, or pushed; tracks, treads, rails, or other method(s)–and how the settlement structure attaches tothissystem. Show how the settlement remains level as it moves overslopes with up to 6°grades, and how the motion-producing system accomplishes turns of up to 10° in 0.6 mile (1 km). Minimum requirement: drawing(s) of system(s) enabling the settlement to move, and the interface(s) between the moving system(s) and the settlement.
3. Operations and Infrastructure – Describe infrastructure necessary to build and operate the community, including conduct of businesses and accommodating arriving and departing vehicles.
3.1 Anconioh's route around Mercury will be between 10° and 25° North latitude; 50% of the route is due West; deviation from due West can be up to a 30° angle for 10 miles (16 km). Specify the range of speeds for motion on this route, and maximum accelerations when/if speed changes. Specify whether the settlement will operate in the sunrise or sunset terminator, and the reasons for this selection. Show nominal direction of the Sun, and direction of motion on the route. Identify sources of materials and equipment for use in construction and operations, and means to transport those materials and assets to Anconioh construction location(s). Existing manufacturing facilities on Mercury produce reardonium components no larger than 20 by 40 feet (6.1 x 12.2 m). When the Aynah space settlement becomes operational, it will produce components up to 100 by 40 feet. Minimum requirement: chart or table identifying materials and equipment required for the settle- ment construction process, and from where and how those materials and equipment are shipped.
• water management (including fire fighting, fresh water distribution, and sewer routing).
Define means of access throughout and between facilities; specify options for pedestrians, bicycles, emergency and service vehicles, and robots. Include designs of transport vehicles (showing dimensions) for use in, on, and around the settlement. Show methods for dust mitigation. Minimum requirement: drawing(s) showing locations of systems which provide required infra- structure, and, as appropriate, their configurations (e.g., show routings of water and waste services).
3.3 Vehicles from mining bases near its route will transport cargo containers of ore to the moving Anconioh settlement, and take them from Anconioh to launch sites. Reardonium parts may be brought to and from Anconioh by vehicles based on the surface or on the settlement. Show vehicles, cranes, and/or other means to move reardonium parts on and off of Anconioh for relocating and curing, and to move parts on the surface to optimize curing.
Minimum requirement: drawings of methods to move ore containers and reardonium parts.
3.4 A separate contractor is grading the route established by the Foundation Society around Mercury. Show improvements to make the road, rail system, or other path on which the Anconioh settlement will move around the planet appropriate for this purpose (e.g., width and roadbed).
Minimum requirement: drawing of roadbed configuration, composition, and depth to support the weight of the moving Anconioh settlement.
4. Human Factors and Safety – Quality of life is important to Foundation Society members, who plan to maintain customary comforts without sacrifices typical of frontier environments.
4.1 Anconioh will provide facilities for services that residents could expect in a comfortable modern community environment (e.g., medical, parks and recreation, access to fine food and entertainment), variety and quantity of consumables and other supplies, and public areas designed with open space and long lines of sight. All restaurants, cafes, and diners will have views of Mercury'ssurface. Forprotectionfromsolarflareradiation,locatehabitableareasontheopposite side of the settlement from the Sun; no window can face the Sun at any angle. Superadobe in custom lunar silicon buckystructure casing can provide adequate protection from solar radiation. Minimum requirement: map(s) and/or illustrations depicting overall community design and locations of amenities/services, with a distance scale.
Minimum requirement: external drawing and interior floor plan for five different options of home designs, and area (preferably in square feet) for residences.
4.3 Residents and guests will want to do excursions on Mercury. Show a recreational rover design,specifyhowmanywillbeavailable,anddefineconstraintsonitsuse. Specifynumbersand types of spacesuit designs required for work and recreation on the surface of Mercury.
Minimum requirement: drawing(s) of a Mercury surface recreational rover vehicle.
4.4 Safety for workers on the Mercury surface requires methods to sense presence of humans, vehicles, robots, or other assets in the path of the moving settlement, and means to provide warning and, if necessary, mitigation of the danger. Safety also requires that at least one airlock for entering the settlement is clearly and obviously visible at all times to a person approaching the settlement from the surface, and a suited human can step onto the settlement at any point on the perimeter.
Minimum requirement: drawing(s) of airlock locations and markings, and perimeter platform.
5. Automation Design and Services – Specify numbers, dimensions, and types of computing and information processing devices, multi-function personal electronic tools, servers, network devices, and robots required for Anconioh's facility, community, scientific, and business operations. Computer system descriptions will include types and capacities of data storage media, data collection,datadistribution,andaccessofuserstocomputernetworks. Showrobotdesigns,clearly indicating their dimensions. Identify locations and sizes of repair, maintenance, and storage facilities, and special transportation routes for robots.
5.1 Describe uses of automation for construction; use robots to build temporary housing in the lava tube before humans arrive. Consider automation for transportation and delivery of materials and equipment, assembly of the settlement, constructing interior structures, installing utilities and infrastructure, and finishing interior spaces and surfaces. Specify components that are 3D printed; because of its high melting point, reardonium cannot be 3D printed.
Minimum requirement: chart or table describing automated construction and assembly devices, and description of robotically accomplished construction prior to arrival of humans.
5.2 Specify automation systems for business, maintenance, repair, and safety functions, including backup systems and contingency plans for failures. Define physical locations and protection of computers and robots for critical functions. Show networking system(s) schematic(s) enabling real-time data acquisition from widely scattered Mercury mining bases. Describe means for authorized personnel to access data and command computer and robot systems; include security to assure access only for authorized personnel, and only for authorized purposes. Prevent malicious code from entering Anconioh systems from any source. Provide a sensing system to determine sun angle, and adjust the settlement speed to stay in the terminator. Plan for a maintenance stop each time Anconioh passes the lava tube construction site; define length of stay, identify items on the settlement to be inspected, and show automated inspection equipment and processes.
Minimum requirement: chart or table listing computers and robots for operation of the settlement; identify sources of computers and robots, and shipping criteria if not manufactured on Mercury.
5.3 Specify automation systems to enhance livability in the community, productivity in work environments, and convenience in residences. Emphasize use of automation to reduce needs for manual labor. Describe access to community computing assets and robot resources from homes and workplaces. Define local Internet contents, update methods / frequency, and how to integrate with cis-lunar computing infrastructure. Robots for household or community use will be either 2 feet(0.61m)or4feet(1.22m)high. Specifyhowmanyofeachcomputingdevice,robottype,and autonomously operated vehicle will operate in residential and community areas of Anconioh. Minimum requirement: drawings of typical computers and robots people encounter during their everyday lives in Anconioh, and diagram(s) of network(s) to enable computer connectivity.
5.4 The exterior of Anconioh will serve as a warehouse for ore containers and reardonium parts.
Provide automation for keeping accurate inventory listing, location, and destination for each item. Provide automated system(s) for physical stacking, moving, and unloading of items.
Minimum requirement: show automated systems for physical handling of inventory items.
6. Schedule and Cost – Include a schedule for development and occupation of Anconioh, and costs for design through construction phases of the schedule.
6.1 The schedule must describe contractor tasks from contract award (20 March 2087) until the customer assumes responsibility for the completed settlement.
Minimum requirement: durations and completion dates of major design, construction, and occupation tasks, depicted in a visual format (e.g., Gantt Chart) with milestones.
6.2 Specify costs for Anconioh design through construction in U.S. dollars, without accounting for economic inflation. Show estimates of numbers of workers associated with each phase of design and construction in the justification for contract costs. Reardonium parts will be supplied by the Foundation Society; specify quantities required of sheet, beams, and complex shaped parts. Minimum requirement: chart(s) or table(s) listing separate costs associated with different phases of construction, and clearly showing total costs that will be billed to the Foundation Society.
A. Thoroughness – Design meets depth and diversity of requirements in the entire Statement of Work (SOW). Graphs, tables, drawings, and compliance matrices aid evaluation of this factor.
B. Credibility – Design addresses requirements, safety, physical laws, and cost/schedule in a believable manner. Errors, impossibilities, omissions, and illogic are penalized.
C. Balance – Proposal places equal emphasis on four technical areas: structural design, operations, livability, and automation. Proposal is organized in a logical, easy-to-follow manner.

EC-Council was the Gold Sponsor for Night da Hack in Paris, a reputed security conference featuring a hacking and defense competition held annually in France, and this year's event attracted more than 600 security professionals attending.
Paris, June 20th, 2010 – EC-Council was proud to collaborate in the Night da Hack once again following last year's success. Attendees at this annual IT security conference included CIOs, CEOs and CTOs of large organisations, professors, security consultants, researchers and even students. The main objective of the event was to provide a common platform for both enthusiasts and professionals to learn, discuss and share on the global trends of the information security sphere.
One of the highlights of the event was the "Capture The Flag" (CTF) competition where EC-Council awarded the CTF competition winners with prizes including its authorized courseware and conference passes for the EC-Council's Hacker Halted conference held in Miami, USA. " With three times more participants this year as compared to last, Hacker's Night was a great success and for the first time this year the event was not only held in French but in English also which opened the door to a wider audience " commented Olivier Franchi, Associate Director at Sysdream.
" With the rapidly growing awareness of IT Security it is indeed a good opportunity to be invited to participate in Hacker's Night for the 2nd time around for it is the place to meet the «creme de la creme » of IT Security community of France" added Claire Kemp, EC-Council's representative for France.
"We are both proud and excited to be a sponsor for Hack da Night once again, and our participation is evident of our commitment to promote public-private partnerships to advance IT security measures globally. With an increase in the number participants this year, we are certain that this partnership will further enhance our objective to increase awareness and ethics towards information security training and education in the region " said Sean Lim, the Vice President for EC-Council.
" Nuit du Hack" (NDH) is one of the oldest French underground hacking conferences. NDH was started in 2003 by Hackerz Voice team being inspired by the world famous DEF CON. The conference is concentrated around computer security related talks, workshops and competitions, NDH aims at bringing together corporate IT professionals and hackers,from all skill-levels under one roof.


The result is that metal mining activities are expanding and more and more of the world's metal stocks are above ground in use rather than below ground as unused reserves. An example is the in-use stock of copper. Between 1932 and 1999, copper in use in the US rose from 73 kilograms (161 lb) to 238 kilograms (525 lb) per person.

On our last visit with my grandpa, we sat in the living room of his well-kept, single-wide trailer, and listened to his stories. This was not the same house I used to visit as a child, with its collection of trophies from his car racing days, and the cupboard with poker chips and playing cards next to the dining room table. But it was the same hulk of a man, shrunken slightly in body but still large in spirit. My grandpa was a logger, a log truck driver, a mechanic by necessity, and always ironically gentle for his large size. The only injury I ever sustained in his presence was whisker burn.
He talked to us about his car, the cancer, and the likelihood that he would come up short of his 100 year goal. And then he recited poetry. It was a painting on his wall that spurred his memory of The Village Blacksmith, by Longfellow. I don't know if he'd been assigned this poem eighty years ago as a little school boy, ragged and tall among a dozen siblings, or if he'd heard a rendition of it in a song some years later. But at ninety-one years old, it was still with him.
I'd never heard grandpa say anything in rhyme, or talk about books or art or learning. He was a salt of the earth, blue-collar guy, who'd made a life the honest way and probably learned what he needed as he went along. At eighty he was still driving log truck. At ninety, we caught him up on a ladder trying to show my husband a spot on the roof that might be leaking. And anytime anyone in the family got a new car, he would light up like a kid at Christmas to talk about what was under the hood. All the things he'd ever done or learned or been interested in or concerned about were still with him, layered in his years like strata, telling a story.
I want to live life like a student, learning what I need as I go and being surprised at ninety by the beauty of a poem—or at least, the beauty of a memory that can hold so tight. If I can make it to ninety, what will still be layered in me? What will be worth reciting?
I am still pursuing my education. If it were only information we needed to live life like a student, there would be no excuse for not having this breadth of view L'Amour is talking about, like a wide-angle lens on the world. The problem is rarely ever not enough information, though. It's sorting that information into what I might need, could find useful, may be interested in, or should let go.
Sorting information is all of our jobs, everyday. Deciding what is important is part of exercising discernment, and "people without discernment are doomed," according to Hosea 4:14. As student and Information Sorter I need the discernment of a Christ-centered mind, one trained in focus and observation. I need words to correspond to thoughts and thoughts to correspond to truth. And I need to see the beauty in the bombardment of information, because the world is full of beautiful things missed by busy people.
Being a lifelong learner is not about being busy, adding one more thing to my list. It's maybe the opposite of that, because learning requires me to stop what I'm doing doing doing and observe. Be still. Listen to the stories. It's a slow process, one without end but not without goals.
I am sending out a newsletter this Saturday with two goals: accountability and encouragement. I need the accountability of announcing this project and sending this monthly newsletter, as I seek to make up my mind with things that point me to Christ and a stewardship of the resources He's given me. If I make it to ninety, I want to have something of worth to surprise my grandkids with.
The second goal is to provide encouragement for you as you sort information and make up your mind with the true, the good, and the beautiful. The newsletter will be full of links to resources; my thoughts on current reading, listening, and watching; and a look at my specific plans as I track my learning each month. In turn, I will be encouraged by your participation and suggestions.
Words are important, and the focus of my learning is on using words better—in thinking, reading, writing, and speaking. If you've read my other posts about what I call my "Homeschool MFA" program, this newsletter is inline with that. It's just my way of organizing myself as a student of life, and has nothing to do with homeschooling, itself, except that homeschooling has kept me in the game as far as learning goes. It wasn't until I started teaching my own kids that I really caught hold of the benefits of lifelong learning—pursuing knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, even after my formal schooling was finished. That's my Homeschool MFA.
This newsletter is for anyone who is still curious about life and the language we use to live it. Nothing is wasted when we live life like a student, with all our experiences and memories layered in us for all our years. Come learn with me!

The following guest post, written by Annie Creswick-Dawson, comments on the current situation of Birmingham's Bloomsbury Library in Nechells.
Nechells is a 'deprived' area of Birmingham where the Bloomsbury Library provided a study space, community room and library facilities. Refurbished in the 1990s, it had deteriorated by 2013 and there were urgent repairs required for which funding had been agreed. However, at the last minute the funding was withdrawn. Following the theft of lead from the roof, the building was so badly damaged by heavy rainfall that neither the heating nor the lift could function and in October the Library was closed. Although there had been an arrangement with a nearby community centre for temporary services to be run there during the repairs, the library service has so far been unable to provide any alternative service there. It is not yet even providing the service of a library van which they 'hope' to provide once a week.
I had visited the Library in 2013 to record the sculptures on the exterior of this attractive library building and was disturbed by the obvious state of disrepair. It was warm and there were a lot of young people working away in the study area, and the staff were friendly and helpful, which makes the whole sorry story seem even sadder to me. Saddest of all was when I started to look into the situation this year only to find that it had been closed and no adequate substitute provided. It is just appalling that, after initial complaints, there has been little or no opposition because people in the area 'have got used to services being withdrawn'.
This seems to be a prime example of Councils being able to withdraw services because people have been so used to the deprivation that they see no point in complaining. Protest has no effect and they have other priorities: there is a food bank in the area but no one seems interested in feeding the minds of the young people and helping them to get the best education possible by having a quiet study area in a local place.
My interest stems from my visit and the fact that I was visiting to record the sculptures by my great grandfather Benjamin Creswick. He was a Sheffield knife grinder, a job in which the life expectancy was about 30 years of age. Making efforts to get other employment, he visited Ruskin's Museum set up for the working men in Walkley, Sheffield. Ben became a pupil of Ruskin, who recognised his talent and supported his family, teaching him how to find commissions amongst other help. After some time in London, Ben became the head of the Birmingham School of Art where he stayed for nearly thirty years.
It is ironic that Ruskin inspired sculpture celebrating the life of ordinary people at work and at play and in the close knit family unit. This included a more formal panel showing the civic pride of Birmingham with the arts representing the city's wealth in industry. It also featured the real wealth in the youthful figures presenting the city with the fruits of their work. Ironic because this sculpture now stands witness to the dismantling of the systems which sustain the people who are the very lifeblood of the city.
While my interest started in the history and the wish to preserve the sculptures, it seems now to demand the protection of the library service and the recognition of its utmost importance to the communty. I am sorry for the length of this diatribe but it seems so important to see if I can help to raise awareness of this dire situation and hope it may help to make sure it is not just allowed to be another case of library closure.
If anyone in the Birmingham area could put me in touch with local commmunity groups I would be most grateful.
Annie Creswick-Dawson was born in Edinburgh and spent most of my formative years in my grandparent's studio. My grandfather, trained by his father Benjamin Creswick, was a bronze founder and silversmith and he trained his wife who worked with him in the studio as a jeweller. She worked in the studio as a general helper and had a very liberal arts education which has led to a lifetime of interest in the arts and crafts.
Having been an amateur artist working mainly in gouache and watercolour, she recently became interested in working with natural materials and now runs courses in this interesting type of work. Annie has spent some years in researching the life of Benjamin Creswick and his connection with the great Victorian John Ruskin and it was this research that brought about her interest in the Bloomsbury Library both for the sake of the sculptures and the tragic loss of the library service to the community.

Study: Warm oceans caused hottest Dust Bowl years in 1934/36
Anthony Watts / May 4, 2015
Ocean hot spots could help today's long-range weather forecasters predict extreme summers for Central US
From the University of New South Wales, this reminds me of the recent issue over the "warm blob" in the Pacific which is strengthening and the current drought situation in the USA. A video follows.

Two ocean hot spots have been found to be the potential drivers of the hottest summers on record for the Central US in 1934 and 1936. The research may also help modern forecasters predict particularly hot summers over the central United States many months out.
The unusually hot summers of 1934/36 broke heat records that still stand today. They were part of the devastating dust bowl decade in the US when massive dust storms travelled as far as New York, Boston and Atlanta and silt covered the decks of ships 450km off the east coast.
Research by Dr Markus Donat from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science and colleagues has revealed that unusually warm sea surface temperatures occurring at exactly the same time in two very specific locations were likely responsible for creating the record breaking heat.
"In the Pacific, there were anomalously warm ocean temperatures along the coastline of the Gulf of Alaska stretching down as far as Los Angeles," said Dr Donat.
"On the other side of the country in the Atlantic Ocean, in a relatively small area off the coast of Maine and Nova Scotia, the ocean surface was also unusually warm. Together they reduced spring rainfall and created perfect conditions for scorching hot temperatures to develop in the heart of the US."
As part of their study, the researchers compared the large-scale climate conditions in 1934 and 1936 with those of the extensive recent hot drought years of 2011 and 2012 to see if there were any similarities to the dust bowl years.
They found that in 2011 / 2012 while there were definitely warm ocean temperatures off the coast of Nova Scotia and Maine, the same was not true along the coastline of the Gulf of Alaska, where ocean temperatures were below normal.
"The large scale ocean conditions in 2011 and 2012 were very different from 1934 and 1936, suggesting an event of a quite different nature," Dr Donat said.
"Only very rarely have we seen these very specific ocean regions warm at the same time over the past century, but those combined warm anomalies were never as strong as during the two record breaking years of 1934 and 1936."
This unusual ocean warming in two regions compounded the impacts on the atmosphere and pressure gradients across the continental US, profoundly changing the weather systems during the spring and summers.
The Atlantic warming off Nova Scotia and Maine meant southerly winds shifted further north-east and the transport of moist air from the Gulf of Mexico northward into the Central US was weakened. At the same time, the Pacific Ocean warming expanded a large Pacific high that also contributed to reduced transport of moist air into the central US.
"Not only did the warming amplify summer temperatures, it also reduced spring rainfall," Dr Donat said.
"To make matter worse, past research has shown the atmospheric dust over Western North America once summer was underway had a positive feedback that intensified the high pressure system even further."
"The US has been very fortunate that it has not seen a repeat of this coincident ocean warming at such a level. Should this ocean warming reoccur in exactly the same constellation, because of climate change it is likely the temperature impacts would be even more devastating and those old records may be surpassed."

An admission that the 30's were warmer than today. Climate McCarthyism will strike this man shortly.
cgs says:
I believe he is only referring to the central US, not the entire globe.
Ursus Augustus says:
It matters not, these findings are clearly heretical. The only permissible explanation for such events is evil Carbon pollution and it is known beyond 97% proof that the necessary levels of evil carbon pollution were not in evidence in the mid 30's.
This man must be taken forth and beaten to death with hockey sticks then burned alive at a special seminar at the COOKMOOC now in progress on line emanating from the University of Queensland.
Unless, unless this is actually evidence that evil carbon pollution was actually responsible for the period of fairly rapid warming through the 20s to 40's that eerily imitates that seen through the mid 70s to about 2000. The mechanism that would fully explain this must be in the deep ocean or underneath the West Antarctic icecap. Hmmm…..
Executioner, executioner … thee may have been a mistake… just wait up there while The Team is assembled to discuss the matter. Confidentially for obvious reasons but of course with internal peer review.

Bruce Cobb says:
"Should this ocean warming reoccur in exactly the same constellation, because of climate change it is likely the temperature impacts would be even more devastating and those old records may be surpassed."
Whoomp! There it is. I was wondering when the obligatory obeisance to the "climate change" ideology would appear.
wickedwenchfan says:
Yes, it was interesting until the last paragraph spoilt the whole thing, like so many of them do these days.
Designator says:
"Because of climate change" things may be worse. We see the "climate change" (formerly global warming) comment added to the end of these more and more often, don't we? Every time something is reported that isn't exactly inline with CAGW dogma…
One day that line will cease to appear, but probably not until MIS-0 makes itself too obvious to ignore. With arctic ice reforming where it is since 2012, one would think it would be obvious by now.
Didn't AMO just enter its negative phase anyway? This guy's point is a bit moot for now.
Richard Cain says:
Yep! The tell-tale acknowledgement that if you don't toe the party religious line, your funding will dry up. Shame, because he had me on his side up until that point.
Obligatory obeisance for future funding given that there are few to zero climate research jobs in the private sector, (that obscure often ignored place that creates the surplus available for taxation where the funding actually comes from).
Every time I read "Because of Climate Change" I am reminded how people would always say, "I have black friends" before they something incredible stupid.
Nice connection!
but I do have black friends
Jtom says:
In law I believe that would be considered assuming fact not in evidence. In science, I would chalk it up to trying to impart significance to mediocre research.
Yeah, from the get-go I was on the lookout for the Kool-Aid statement since the study was from "the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science." And sure enough, there it was.

kokoda says:
Hey….good humor
pyeatte says:
One thing about the Dust Bowl. There was a natural, cyclical ~30-year drought, but the "Dust" part was human caused. Under US Government policies, the great prairie grasslands were plowed up for crops. The grasslands had very deep root systems that would hold the ground (dirt) in place in the face of dry winds while the grass would also lay flat covering the ground. The crops that replaced the grass would leave the dry land bare with no protection, hence the endless dust storms.
But, but, but … I thought we had done away with the Dust Bowl years? Surely they are cooler than the present; after all we have spent billions making sure the "data" says so!
emsnews says:
What is particularly stupid with this 'study' is…what made the oceans warm up so much???
The sun did, of course. And that is the verboten issue.
JimS says:
Which teams will play in the next Dust Bowl?
Jim Francisco says:
Probably Democrats VS Republicans.
Latitude says:
"warm blob" in the Pacific which is strengthening…
honestly does not look like it's strengthening to me……just rising to the surface and spreading out…..dissipating weakening
Bobby Davis says:
Has anyone looked at the rain fall this year? Except for California, which a 1/3 is a naturally occurring desert, has been above normal. Not counting the snow melt from last winter. It will be bumper cops from Texas to Minnesota & Kansas to New England this year.
Don K says:
We're noticably a bit below normal rainfall in Northern New England — 4 inches since Feb 5 vs 6+ inches normal. Nice in some ways — no significant mud season this year. The central plains have been significantly dry. SW OK and adjacent TX have a serious drought problem. But the situation in the rest of TX has improved considerably or late. http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/
No mud season in southern New Hampshire either. We've had brush fires, as the forest floor gets especially dry when the leaves are not out on the trees yet, and I'd say the leaves, which are now finally busting out, are roughly two weeks late this year.
Even with four feet of powder snow on the level, at the start of March, we had below-normal "melted precipitation" over the winter. What fell never melted, until the sun got high. All in all the winter was both colder and dryer than normal, and now the spring sees me watering my garden when my worry would usually would be that the soil was too muddy.
There are always some places that are hotter while others are colder, and some places dryer while others are wetter. What is interesting about this study is that it seeks to identify areas of the ocean that match up with areas of land, in terms of weather patterns.
Joe Bastardi and Joseph D'Aleo seem to have done a fairly good job the past two winters matching up the "warm blob" and "El Nino Modoki" sea-surface-temperatures with warm-west and cold-east patterns over the USA. (They, of course, don't need to throw in any obligatory genuflection to the high priests of Global Warming.) Joe Bastardi seems to be suggesting we may be in for a third winter where the cold pours down in the east, unless the sea-surface temperatures alter dramatically.
logoswrench says:
What has happened or will happen is of course no doubt our fault. We need the government to take control of our lives NOW!!! We are aLready past the "tipping point". Hurry before the ocen blobs strike again.
Mack Dog says:
John Cook is doing an AMA at reddit right now. Go and ask him some hard questions
Daryl Ritchison says:
Frequently lost in the discussion of the extreme heat of those summers, especially the multiple state records set in 1936 is the high impact of anthropogenic land-use changes had on increasing the surface temperatures in that era. With more modern plowing techniques, more grassland areas, more extensive use of irrigation, etc., the next time such a prolong drought impacts the Great Plains, extreme temperatures would be lessened to some degree in comparison to those years. Of course, this particular issue is far more complex than a couple of simple sentences, but land-use feedback changes were probably a contributor to increasing the temperature maximums during those summers that may not be quite as pronounced in many locations if a similar scenario occurred today, making for an example, another 121° maximum in my state of residence (North Dakota) more difficult to achieve than some would imagine.
Paul Homewood says:
We see the same thing now in Africa and other areas, where deforestation has altered the micro climate leading to higher temps
Tom O says:
Not sure I agree with your logic, but all science is supposition, so you may be right. On the other hand, you may be wrong. Either way, the temperature extremes of those years still exist, everywhere but in the "adjusted data."
David A says:
The rain records and stream flow data show the 30s drought as both hotter and dryer then anything sense.
It was unusually warm all over the earth. This happened earlier with the same exact effects the previous 30 years.
sabretruthtiger says:
Wait for it… aaaannnnnd there it is.
At the end of virtually EVERY article on a climate study they have to make a comment about climate change and that ti will get worse.
Never has propaganda been more obvious.
When a group of people in government and industry decide on a policy, they can use carrots (good jobs, grants, and prestige) and sticks (loss of jobs and grants, organized slander, and worse) to make their guidelines clear, and most people will choose to follow those cues, even if they know that the policy is wrong. Historically, policy makers have told the public that "radiation is good for you," … ~ (from a Ph.D. in Biology with a specialization in physiology)
What we are seeing in the filed of "climate", we also see in the field of "health". Government involvement usually leads to propaganda and politics rather than true science. Keep that in mind as you listen to any recommendations from your central government.

There sure are a lot of wiggles on that graph. With 2/3 of the planet covered in water and with water vapor providing over 90% of the greenhouse effect, aside from occasional volcanic cooling, oceans and water vapor are the only possible explanation for the wiggles. We know that CO2 concentration does not chaotically go up and down all over the planet but we can now see directly that water vapor DOES – http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/eaus/wv-animated.gif
If oceans and water vapor can alter global average temperature so much over such a short period of time, (less than a ~couple years) – how can anyone claim that those cannot also explain ~99% of the average global temperature change over only a slightly longer period of time such as the late 20th century warming?
Who dismissed water and how did they get away with it?

"A Link between the Hiatus in Global Warming and North American Drought"
Abstract ( rather long I am afraid mod):
Portions of western North America have experienced prolonged drought over the last decade. This drought has occurred at the same time as the global warming hiatus—a decadal period with little increase in global mean surface temperature. Climate models and observational analyses are used to clarify the dual role of recent tropical Pacific changes in driving both the global warming hiatus and North American drought. When observed tropical Pacific wind stress anomalies are inserted into coupled models, the simulations produce persistent negative sea surface temperature anomalies in the eastern tropical Pacific, a hiatus in global warming, and drought over North America driven by SST-induced atmospheric circulation anomalies. In the simulations herein the tropical wind anomalies account for 92% of the simulated North American drought during the recent decade, with 8% from anthropogenic radiative forcing changes. This suggests that anthropogenic radiative forcing is not the dominant driver of the current drought, unless the wind changes themselves are driven by anthropogenic radiative forcing. The anomalous tropical winds could also originate from coupled interactions in the tropical Pacific or from forcing outside the tropical Pacific. The model experiments suggest that if the tropical winds were to return to climatological conditions, then the recent tendency toward North American drought would diminish. Alternatively, if the anomalous tropical winds were to persist, then the impact on North American drought would continue; however, the impact of the enhanced Pacific easterlies on global temperature diminishes after a decade or two due to a surface reemergence of warmer water that was initially subducted into the ocean interior.

(NOAA -Princeton origin).
Crispin in Waterloo says:
It is interesting that 8% of an effect is caused by 3% of the increase in CO2 concentration. We don't even know if humans are really responsible for even that 3% – it is just a new wives tale.
So just how does a 3% contribution to an increase cause 8% of an effect attributable to that increase (if such an attribution holds water in the first place)? Mathematically, the claim is bogus from the get-go.
1sky1 says:
The fantasy of "re-emergence of warmer water that was initially subducted into the ocean interior" in this NOAA-Princeton study is typical of academics totally inexperienced in matters oceanographic.
Billy Liar says:
I'd like to offer a translation of the following academic climate jargon:

'If things change then other things will change. Alternatively, if things stay the same then other things would stay the same' …

I'd really like to see Joe Bastardi's take on this, his insight from experience is deeper than young Dr. Donat.
Mike Maguire says:
Joe B will agree with this. It's exactly how good operational meteorologists use pattern recognition to out forecast the NWS and/or models. Looking at ocean temperature anomalies in key locations can often provide one heck of a clue regarding what the effects will be in the atmosphere……..sometimes thousands of miles away.
KTWO says:
After adjusting away the hot land temperatures of the 1930s our experts should have also adjusted away the warm blobs at sea. Then we wouldn't have to worry for there would be nothing to repeat.
It isn't too late, reduce those ocean records now! And in a few days we would learn the Dust Bowl never happened either. And it might even prevent WW2.
I was a child in that Dust Bowl. The extensive plowing is, IMO, the cause. No trees were left for miles, no windbreaks. Plowing was done right up to the edge of every creek and river. The previous decades had been prosperous and encouraged farmers to plant every square inch. That had destroyed the native, deeper rooted, plants. And much of the area had no natural lakes whatever, I seem to recall Kansas itself was said to have zero natural lakes.
Max Photon says:
I have to wonder if the warm water blob off of the Oregon coast has played a role in the vast number of Velella velella that have washed ashore.
(I also have to wonder if the blob contributed to the virus that has decimated the sea-star population.)

droughts world wide-
A survey of the world drought threat reveals ruinous
losses by farmers, and in many parts of the world an ac
tual shortage of food. Young crops have been blasted in
the ground by the scorching sun, and thousands of cattle
have been left pastureless.
The.disaster is felt from the Mississippi to the Volga,
and from the Yugo-Slavian Valley to the Western Canadian
prairies.

I.E. – Nothing has changed; not only do they not seem to know what's going on now any better than they did back in 1934, their water carriers were even busy bumping the "alarmism" meter back then too:
"Only 15 of the 100 glaciers observed last year increased; four were stationary and 81 decreased."
"Only"? I believe the correct word should have been "Luckily"! Imagine the crop failures down stream if the numbers were inverted so only 15 decreased while 81 increased?
And surely if global temperature "controlled" drought we would have noticed some sort of correlation by now. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/service/drought/wetdry/bar-mod-110-00/190001-201206.gif
Which is exactly what the IPCC admitted in the AR5, they did not see one: "Confidence is low for a global-scale observed trend in drought or dryness (lack of rainfall) since the middle of the 20th century, owing to lack of direct observations, methodological uncertainties and geographical inconsistencies in the trends."

Steady lad. You're listing.
Dave O. says:
Will climate "researchers" ever be able to make the 1930's look cool and wet? Stay tuned – they've just started to adjust.
taxed says:
At the moment the jet stream is well to the south of its normal track across the Atlantic. lf this lasts through out the summer then the chances of the warm blob forming in the northern Atlantic look low.
micro6500 says:
has revealed that unusually warm sea surface temperatures occurring at exactly the same time in two very specific locations were likely responsible for creating the record breaking heat.
What's interesting about this is that the Pacific blob showed up a year or so later.
l can understand the reason why there was a warm blob in the northern Atlantic in 2012. Because there was a blocking high sitting over the north Atlantic during April of that year. Which would of drawn warm air up from the south across western N Atlantic. So what they seem to be suggesting is that there needs to be blocking highs set up over the NE Pacific and over northern Atlantic during the spring. For these heat waves to happen in the USA during the summer.
Wayne Delbeke says:
So if they synch up, then what? Or did we just have a near miss?
My suggestion would be to check if there was blocking highs over the NE Pacific and North Atlantic during the winter/spring of the years leading up to these heatwaves. lf there was then try to found out how would this be linked to the summer heat waves. lf there is no link then it looks like my suggestion is wrong or these warm blobs just happened to turn up by chance.
I think a near miss.
The Pacific high, send the jet stream over the Northwest coast, and then dips down over the midwest and then up to the northeast, I wonder if when you add an Atlantic High, the Jet can't bend that sharp, so it snaps north, and runs across the upper midwest straight from the west coast. That would bring the storm line way north.
Also, I know the dust bowl wasn't all due to weather, but weather did play a big part.
l think l have found a link between 2012 and 1936.
Back in 1936 the UK had cool northerly weather for the first 3 weeks of April, which suggests there was a blocking high over the northern Atlantic for much of April. Just like what happened in 2012.
Too bad he wasn't partnered up with another researcher named Caffey. The best we ever had at the dental college was a presentation given by Hertt & Payne.

Did they get the temperatures of the ocean at that time with satellites?
davidmhoffer says:
pyeatte May 4, 2015 at 7:30 am
Repeated for effect. Stubble burning was rampant at the time as well, which turbo charged the whole mess. Low till, zero till, stubble left on fields to keep soil in place as well as capture drifting snow for early moisture in fields, planting of wind breaks…. long list of things that will make the next big drought period rather different from the dirty 30's.
That said, I haven't read the paper, but I see no mention of a causal link. Just correlation? Based on data acquired by ships throwing buckets overboard and hauling them up to take the temperature. Limited accuracy by sampling method, limited accuracy by instrumentation, and limited accuracy in terms of location. Don't know if I trust the correlation, and if I had all the data, I bet I could find two or three areas of the ocean that were anomalously cold at that exact point in time (its always warmer somewhere and colder somewhere than usual on this planet of ours) so without a causal link, its just correlation.

Since the above comment was made the ssta has changed considerably, a bit faster than I thought it would. I was thinking that by July it would be mostly gone, but that could take place somewhat quicker at the current rate of change.
Mike Jonas says:
"unusually warm sea surface temperatures occurring at exactly the same time in two very specific locations were likely responsible for creating the record breaking heat". One event, no mechanism, and when they compare with 2011-12 they find something different. OK, it's interesting that there were two areas of warm sea at the time of the dust bowl, but without anything more it is a step too far to claim any connection. As others have pointed out, there were some farming practices that exacerbated the drought.
smamarver says:
I think that oceans are a great barometer for our planet and that it's extremely important to keep an eye on them and to be attentive in which way we do influence them. The oceans affected by naval and merchant ships operating and sailing the seas back and forth should have been the hottest topic in the debate on climate change since meteorology was established as a science in the late 19th century. Instead of that, oceans were ignored up to the late 20th century and not even today do they enjoy the significant position they deserve. Oceans are a decisive climatic force, the second after the sun.I emphasize with the idea that Naval War had a great impact in the climate change. I suggest visiting http://www.1ocean-1climate.com, you'll find information that will sustain my idea.
Arno Arrak (@ArnoArrak) says:
The warm spots in the two oceans are unrelated and most likely have nothing to do with the Dust Bowl. The warm spot in the Atlantic is related to the sudden increase of Arctic warming at the begiinning of the twentieth century (see my paper in E&E),. Prior to that there was nothing in the Arctic but slow, linear cooling for two thousand years. The warming was caused by a change in the North Arlantic current system that started to carry warm Gulf Stream water into the high Arctic. The warm spot in the Atlantic is related to this diversion of the Gulf Stream flow to the north. This phase of Arctic warming ended in 1940 and was followed by thirty years of cooling. Warming resumed in 1970 and is still going on. I attribute the Blob in the Pacific to highly unusual wind patterns involving a strengthening and diversion of the westerlies which then hijacked the warm water of the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool, pushed it across the ocean, and puddled it up against the coast of the Gulf of Alaska, Canada, and our northwest states. It is apparently a rare occurrence that we should not expect to see again for quite a while.


Mrs. Parenteau's Grade 1 class was full of energy and anticipation Monday when Parkland Ambulance arrived for a visit.
While the students were excited to see what the inside of an ambulance looked like, they were also excited to carefully load their own precious cargo into the back of the vehicle — 23 shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child.
Parkland Ambulance was paying Red Wing School a visit to collect their boxes and thank them for doing their part to make Christmas a little brighter for less fortunate children around the world.
Operation Christmas Child is a way Canadians can help struggling children in the developing world by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies or other things kids might need. The boxes are distributed to a variety of countries in Latin America, the Caribbean and West Africa.
It's a project Parkland Ambulance takes on in the city every year, collecting about 1,500 shoe boxes. Anyone looking to contribute is encouraged to bring their shoeboxes to one of Parkland Ambulance's offices during collection week, Nov. 13-16.
For the students at Red Wing, it was an opportunity to learn about needs and wants, and a way to understand the plight of the less fortunate around the world.
"This is the first year we decided to do this. We really wanted to connect it with the social studies curriculum, and it fits in really perfectly with our needs and wants unit," teacher Katelin Parenteau said.
The class set a goal of putting together ten shoe boxes — five for boys and five for girls. They collected 23.
Mrs. Parenteau's Grade 1 Red Wing School class poses with their Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes on November 5, 2018 (Peter Lozinski/Daily Herald).
Once the project was over, Parenteau contacted Parkland Ambulance to find out where she could drop off the shoeboxes. They said they would come with an ambulance to pick them up.
"That was really special," she said. "We didn't expect that at all.
The students weren't the only ones who were excited.
"It's wonderful," Lyle Karasiuk of Parkland Ambulance said.
Once the boxes had been collected, the Parkland Ambulance representatives spoke with the children about the importance of the project. The students said they put tongs like pencils, hygiene products, colouring books and even some toys inside the shoeboxes. Throughout the project, the students treated the gifts with reverence and care.
"One little fella mentioned that he had given a toy he had gotten for his birthday in his Christmas box," Karasiuk said.
Many of the students understood that they were giving something important.
"Giving is something we often take for granted," Karasiuk said.

In regards to natural, normal tooth structure and dental restorations, the term "crown" refers to the portion of the tooth that can be seen above the gingival (gum) tissues. Crowns are fixed (non-removable) prosthodontic restorations, which may serve as a single unit for one tooth, part of a multi-unit bridge, or as the final restoration over a dental implant.
Crowns come in several different materials including gold (cast metal), stainless steel, porcelain fused to metal, porcelain ceramic, and zirconia. Today, most of the crowns manufactured are some variation of porcelain ceramic or zirconia because these types are aesthetically superior and durable. Even with the vast amount of technology available today, it is important to remember that restoring crowns is a very technique sensitive procedure that requires the dentist to have excellent hand skills and attention to detail in order to provide a restoration that can last for years.


At this moment the current water temperature in Lincoln Island is -. The average water temperature in Lincoln Island today is -.
Today Thursday, 18th of April of 2019, the sun rose in Lincoln Island at 5:37 am and sunset will be at 8:23 pm.	In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first high tide was at 12:56 am and the next high tide at 1:19 pm. The first low tide was at 7:10 am and the next low tide will be at 7:25 pm.
Today we have 14 hours and 46 minutes of sun. The solar transit was at 1:00 pm.
We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Lincoln Island which is of 20.3 ft and a minimum height of -4.9 ft.
The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of April of 2019.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Lincoln Island, forecast in April.
Large coefficients indicate important high and low tides; major currents and movements usually take place on the sea bed. But bear in mind that this tidal amplitude may be greatly affected by the weather and you should also consult the weather forecast in Lincoln Island and the wind and wave forecast in Lincoln Island before you go fishing.
The moon set at 6:08 am at 266° west. Eventually, the moon will rise again in the east (100°) at 7:23 pm.
The lunar transit is the time at which the moon crosses the local meridian (Lincoln Island, 135.0° W) at 12:00 am.
The solunar periods indicate the best times of day for fishing in Lincoln Island. The major periods correspond to the lunar transit (passage of the moon over the meridian) and the opposing lunar transit and last approximately 2 hours. The minor periods begin with the rising and setting of the moon and its duration is approximately 1 hour.


• That the decision to close the HAL airport has been taken under pressure as the BIAL is not willing to give up its right under the agreement it has drawn up with the government.
• Even the gazette notification on May 16 for the inauguration of BIAL has come following pressure from BIAL.
• Government has failed to minimize the problems faced by the public and suggested that the airport transport service, economy and efficiency should improve before considering the closure.
• Infrastructure including the road connectivity to Devanahalli is not yet ready and the airport authority itself is not yet clear whether it can function effectively from Devanahalli.
• Quick inauguration is an attempt to pre-empt the dismissal of the PILs which are posted for June second week.
• The new airport is already crowded with a capacity of just nine million, while the HAL airport has a capacity of 10.1 million and is therefore it is necessary to retain the HAL airport.
• Said that none of the respondents — BIAL, Union and State Governments, Airports Authority of India (AAI), Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) — had made any effort to thrash out the contentious issues.
All that and more action is slated in and around May 22nd and public at large continues to keep their fingers crossed…..
