LA CROSSE - The Lourdes Academy girls 3,200-meter relay team is no stranger to the top of the podium.
Winning the WIAA Division 3 state title in the event last year, the Knights' obvious goal was to repeat this season.
The Lourdes Academy team of Katie Van Scyoc, Carly Vandenhouten, Ellen Moore and Emily Foley finished with a time of 9:39.71 in the 3,200 relay to cruise to another D3 championship on Saturday at the WIAA state track and field meet, hosted on the campus of UW-La Crosse.
"I think once you get to the top of the podium, you don't ever want to lose it," Van Scyoc said. "Coming into this, we knew we wanted to be in that same position again."
WIAA STATE TRACK: Day 2 results
The Knights easily bested second-place Elmwood/Plum City (9:45.68).
Trailing in the third leg of the race, Lourdes freshman Ellen Moore made the pass and Emily Foley powered through in the final leg to clinch the title.
"My dad told me to just try and pass and catch whoever is in front of you," Moore said. "That was my big motivation, to just try and get whoever is in front of me."
In addition, the Lourdes' 800-meter relay of Kelsey Schwochert, Joely Hurkman, Delaney Gresser and Alexis Rolph was second with a time of 1:47.45, while the 1,600-meter relay of Schwochert, Foley, Van Scyoc, Rolph was second (4:05.03) as well.
"Coming in, we were a little nervous with heat stuff and being seeded fourth, we knew we could do better," Van Scyoc said following the 1,600 relay. "I think we knew we had to leave everything on the track. Our goal was top three, so getting second isn't a disappointment."
Vandenhouten finished ninth in the 3,200-meter run (12:01.87).
The Lourdes Academy girls team finished fifth in the Division 3 team standings with 34 points.
The Lourdes Academy boys 1,600-meter relay of Colyar Newton, T. Jackson Moore, Marshall Pecore and Axel Frank was eighth (3:31.72).
Schiek wins D3 1,600-meter title
A day after winning the Division 3 state title in the 3,200-meter run, Valley Christian's Wesley Schiek added another medal to his collection on Saturday.
Schiek won the 1,600-meter run in 4:17.86, coming from behind to beat Webster's Andrew Ruiz (4:18.81) in the final 50 meters or so.
"This one feels good," Schiek said. "I'm just blessed to have the opportunity to run the mile and to be a champion. I want to thank God for giving me the opportunity to do that, giving me the gifts. ... It feels nice to PR and to have one of the faster times today."
Leading for much of the race, Schiek was actually passed by Ruiz in the final lap before rallying to earn another D3 championship.
"I knew somebody would make an effort, whether it would be Jacob Wahlers (of Algoma) or Andrew," Schiek said. "I knew one of them could try to take it with about 200 or 300 (meters) to go and that's what happened. But I have one of the best kicks. We train so hard for after three-and-a-half laps, to just go get it done. I knew when he took the lead that it was still mine and I would chase him down."
Lourdes Academy's T. Jackson Moore was seventh in the event (4:29.16).
Schiek was also eighth in the 800-meter run (2:02.27).
Omro's Erik Schwandt capped his senior season with a second-place finish in the 100-meter dash, finishing in 11.23 seconds.
River Valley's Kyle Thomas won the D2 100 dash in a time of 11.03 seconds.
"Last year I took third, so I was just happy I was able to take a higher place," Schwandt said. "I did a nice warmup before I came in. ... I felt great. I knew the wind was there, but it was a great race."
Schwandt was also sixth in the 200-meter dash (22.63).
Omro's Jacob Lautenschlager finished third in the high jump (6-4), while Berlin's Wyatt Arndt finished in a tie for sixth (6-2).
Berlin's Audrey Krueger was 13th in the triple jump (34-7¼).
Berlin's 400-meter relay of Dana Hohenstein, Kara Block, Paige Krause and Isabelle Heinz was sixth (49.90), while the 3,200-meter relay of Mackenzie Kurczek, Erika Mullen, Mari Beltran and Bria Osterberg was 12th (10:05.60).
Omro's Sadie Huth finished eighth in the 100-meter hurdles (16.54).
Oshkosh North's Cam Sorenson finished 14th in the triple jump (42-8¾).

Who doesn't like a good truck mod?! We all tend to be amazed by a good modified truck. Even though truck modifications can cost a fortune, truck enthusiastsdon't seem to care. However, there are several instances when truck owners took a step too far when modifying their custom trucks. So, when modifying trucks turns into an obsession, the truck owners can go above and beyond in terms of modifications. If you think that you've seen it all, keep reading.
This trucker owner took a step too far to modify a truck which is also a trike, or three-wheeled bike. It isn't only eye-catching but also an incredibly useless truck trike.
This truck was converted as a food truck and although it might attract customers and be good for business, it definitely isn't good for driving around. The too much metal on it definitely adds a lot of weight.
You must be wondering what kind of person makes a purple pickup with tinted windows and so so we! This mod definitely went too far and there seems to be no going back.
The colourful Japanese dekotora trucks are a perfect example of mods going too far. This one isn't only colourful but also featured LED neon lights. So much colour is too much!
This stretch monster truck would only work on auto shows and nowhere else. A stretch truck is just a step too far when it comes to truck modifications.
The owners of these trucks must be comic fanatics! One is definitely inspired by some darker side, while the other by Superman, The Hulk, and lots of Batman villains. They definitely need that superheroes' force as they're set for racing.
Even though many dekotora truck enthusiasts will consider this custom paint job too subtle, this flame patterns truck is really eye-catching.
Another flame-inspired truck which looks truly garish. The flame motif doesn't seem to go out of style.
The dekotora aficionados don't only decorate the outside of a vehicle but also the inside. Can you imagine that someone spent a fortune on decorating the interior of their truck only to look like this? Neither can we.
This monster truck was quite popular in the 1990s, but its fame didn't last. However, Hummer owners didn't give up on their vehicle. One such example is this Hummer with a gold custom paint job.
Did you know what dekotora trucks aren't the only extravagantly decorated trucks in Japan? Many truck owners also opt for bosozuku, a Japanese youth subculture. Even though this term is mostly associated with street racing cars, nothing stopped this truck owner from implementing it on his truck.
Another truck which comes from Japan is this truck which was inspired by a series of Japanese films called Truck Guys. The owner definitely spent tons of money on chrome, custom paint, and neon lights.
The KB Ditch Digger Truck was a hit on the SEMA show in 2015. Such a retro style is quite rare to see on truck mods. We only hope that this vintage vehicle goes as good on the road as it looks.
This off-road truck is perfect for the roughest terrain, but its colour definitely isn't. The off-road green-eyed monster comes with neon green paint job which couldn't be more noxious.
Just as colourful as the traffic jams are in India, this truck isn't only rich in colour, but also in religious symbols. The symbols feature many vibrant and striking imagesof the Hindu and Sikh religions. This truck is a great example of what to expect on the roads in colourful India.

Egypt to build largest fibre optic cable plant in MENA
The 50,000 sq m plant will be built in the Gulf of Suez city of Ain Sokhna

Revenues of East Port Said up 80% despite COVID-19 impact: SCZone head
Egypt will construct the largest fibre optic cable plant in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) with investments worth over EGP 1 billion ($63.2 million), the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) said.
The 50,000 square metre plant in the Red Sea's Gulf of Suez city of Ain Sokhna is planned to start operation in the third quarter of 2021, SCZone Chairman Yehia Zaki said in a statement on Wednesday.
The project is part of an initial deal signed between the government-owned Arab Organisation for Industrialisation (AOI) and IT service provider Benya Capital.
"The annual production capacity of the project is four million km of cables, while investments in the project amount to more than EGP 1 billion," Zaki said.
The deal is part of the government's efforts to boost the industrial sector, promote local technology and reduce imports, AOI Chairman Abdel-Moneim Al-Tarras said, adding that the project will make available jobs for young engineers and technicians.
The government said manufacturing fibre optic cables will meet the needs of telecoms, power, gas and oil firms, as well as new cities the country is building.
Benya Capital has chosen US firm Corning Inc, a leading provider of optical fibres, cables, and communication solutions, as a strategic supplier of the factory.
The Egyptian government hopes the economic zone around the Suez Canal will develop an international industrial and logistics hub that will attract much-needed foreign investment.

TV Is Not Dead
Resources for getting better results from retail TV advertising
Don't Be Afraid to Show Some Emotion
According to a recent study, the emotional brain reacts immediately to input and is much faster when making decisions than the rational brain.
That's why when someone says to you, "you're allowing your emotions to cloud your judgment," they could be on to something…
Dr. Robert Heath, from the University of Bath's School of Management, found that television ads with high levels of emotional content enhanced how people felt about brands, even when those ads were lacking product information. On the other hand, ads which were low on emotional content had no effect on how favorable the public felt towards brands, even if the ads were high in news and information.
Emotional warmth or lack of it determines a brand perception. If consumers are "warm" to your brand, it is much easier to get their attention, as they are more open to listening, seeing and absorbing new information. If they are neutral or distant about your brand, it's more difficult to influence them and the advertising needs to work harder.
So the next time you're tempted to add just one more copy point into your 30-second commercial, remember it's not what you say, but the way you say it, that gets results.

The Precision of Sharp's TV Campaign
Does the old-school formula of traditional TV advertising still work in this day of digital overload? I guess it depends on who you ask. But from my perspective, it's still a vital component when bringing new products and services to market. It's definitely not the only thing necessary for customer conversion, but it remains – in many cases – the launching pad for a brand's success.
Let me provide you with a recent, real life situation that illustrates this point.
In the market for a new LCD television, I got in the car the other day and headed to my local Best Buy. As I do with most big purchases, my objective was not to purchase a new television at this time, but to check them out first and then go home to conduct my research online before making a final decision. The brands in consideration: Samsung, Panasonic and a brand I never considered before – Sharp.
Why consider Sharp, a brand never before on my radar? For starters, their new TV commercials featuring George Takei (Sulu from Star Trek fame) are superbly done. The campaign does a great job differentiating the Sharp Aquos LCD Television from every other TV out in the market today. Whether Sharp's "Quad Pixel Technology" produces a better picture than the competitions is up for debate. What's not debatable is how these commercials convinced me to consider a brand never before on my consideration set.
The commercials are smart. They clearly outline a strong USP. And they hammer it home in a way that's persuasive and believable. After being exposed to these messages for a few weeks, how could I not check out the Sharp Aquos?
So here I am in Best Buy. And when I mentioned to the sales associate that I want to see the Sharp Aquos, he's not surprised. It appears a lot of other folks have also been moved into action by the same TV campaign with its clever positioning statement, "You have to see it, to see it."
I don't know if I'll settle on the Sharp Aquos. What I do know is that I'm considering one because of the power of a few well-concepted, well-executed and well-placed TV commercials that grabbed my attention and piqued my interest.
So at the end of the day, whether traditional TV advertising is now considered old-school, or not, is really irrelevant to me. What's relevant to me (and should be to you) is that it still gets results.

Is Your TV Commercial Falling on Deaf Ears?
Even while new devices like the iPad continue to drive simultaneous usage (people watching TV while they are online) there appears to be very little difference between people's online usage habits when they're watching TV and when they are not.
According to a new J.D. Power Study, people who use their computers while they watch TV tend to be doing the same things online as people who are not watching TV at the same time: email, chatting, shopping, etc.
Simultaneous use is a growing phenomenon: Nearly 40% of people use TV and the web simultaneously each week.
This means that your TV commercials have to work harder than ever before. For the first time, sound may take precedence over sight when engaging the consumer and ultimately determining a campaign's success or failure.
Web-tasking consumers are simply ignoring commercials that don't possess an audio hook. Do your company's TV commercials have what it takes to get this ever growing segment to look up from their iPads and laptops? Or do your commercials sound like every other commercial in the break? How is your ad agency addressing this issue?
The time where visuals alone could carry the day is gone forever. Without the right audio strategy, your message could be falling on deaf ears.

TV Advertising – Stronger Than Ever
Everyone is selling something. As soon as you realize this simple fact, the sooner you'll be able to see through the "TV is Dead" smoke screen perpetrated by those who are, yes "selling" digital services.
Most new media folks are like the partisan politician who is unwavering in his position even when the facts prove otherwise. It's the classic "if I say it long enough … it must be true" approach.
Well, they can stick to their "TV is so yesterday" talking points, but the facts just don't add up.
TV is stronger than ever. This, according to the largest privately-owned, full-service direct response media agency in the country. And TV is not losing its luster.
The Senior Director, Research & Analytics at Mercury Media, Michael Goodman says, "Rather than cannibalize traditional television, emerging video platforms, like Hulu, cable VOD and FLO TV, are supplementing viewership and creating new revenue streams for programmers."
"Television advertising is not dying," said Goodman.
"Rather than fragmenting the marketplace, emerging video platforms like broadband and mobile TV are acting as audience multipliers." Goodman points to innovations like Addressable TV, TV Everywhere and Interactive TV as leading the evolution toward "a harmonious video delivery ecosystem."
Among Goodman's top findings are: TV is still the #1 screen. Television viewership remains at hundreds of hours per month, while viewership of broadband and mobile video remains in the low single digits.
"It is reckless to proclaim that any great revolution is taking place", says Mercury.
In 2Q 2009, watching TV in the home accounted for 77% of screen time among consumers age 2+, up 1.5% year-over-year.
So there you have it. Yet more information that dispels what the new media folks would have you to believe on the state of television. But it won't stop them though … they're armed with one heck of a sales pitch, just not the facts.

Four Favorite 2009 Holiday TV Commercials
The 2009 holiday season didn't produce many good or effective TV commercials. But, there were a few standouts.
Below are 4 of my favorites (other than my clients, of course):
Target/Marshalls
Hersey's Kisses
(one of the few recycled commercials that is memorable)

Americans Spending Even More Time with TV
TV Remains "Most Influential Ad Medium for 2009"
A year dramatically impacted by the economic recession has influenced consumers to return to watching television over other types of entertainment. Deloitte's 2009 "State of the Media Democracy" survey reveals a 26% increase in the number of Americans choosing the TV as their favorite type of media as compared to the previous year.
More than 70% of survey respondents rank TV their top three favorite media activities. Additionally, when ranked alongside other activities like surfing the Web, listening to music or reading, 34% of consumers still place TV at the top. This is a substantial increase from last year and more than double the percent of the number two choice, which is the Internet that came in at 14%.
When watching their favorite TV programming, 86% of survey respondents prefer watching on their television set, enjoying the programming either live, via a DVR/TiVo or using an "On Demand" feature. While less than 10% of Americans say they prefer watching the same content online, it is a growing trend.
Hours Spent with TV:
Nearly 18 hours of television programming is spent on TV in a typical seven day week – up notably from less than 16 hours last year.
Millennials (ages 14-26) had the largest increase, to almost 15 hours from 10.5 hours.
72% of Americans say they have been forced to reduce their purchases of other entertainment products including movies, concerts, sporting events, DVDs, CDs and videogames.
Besides TV viewing, the survey supports the culmination of the game console as a stand-alone media platform and the mobile phone's rapid decoupling of the Internet from the desktop and the rise of tribal marketing.
But, nevertheless, television continues to reign as the most influential advertising medium, with 83% of consumers identifying TV advertising as one of the top three media with the most impact on their buying decisions. Online advertising ranks much lower in impact than television.

We have a customer who sends email out on behalf of a very large, very well known institution in the financial investment world.
These people send out millions of pieces of email a day, under several different titles, to several different mailing lists.
All of these mailing lists are confirmed opt-in.
Some of these mailings lists are paid mailing lists. By which I mean that the users paid to receive these emails.
Even though the users paid to receive these mailings, they get reported as spam!
Now, why would someone not only ask to receive a mailing, but pay for it, and then still hit "this is spam" on it when they receive it?
There are several reasons why someone who has asked and paid for your mailing would still tag it as spam, and they all have to do with not properly setting – and meeting – subscriber expectations.
This is why it's critical that you set your subscriber's expections and then meet those expectations (for example, make sure they know how often to expect your mailings).
And also why it's critical that you make sure that your email doesn't look like spam. Because even if you are otherwise correctly setting your subscribers' expectations, if your email looks like spam, it will get tagged as spam.
Even if they have paid for it.
You also have to make your company name visible in every email, multiple times. Especially in the From field and perhaps the subject line as well. People will just skim through and if they don't know it's from you, they will spam without even realizing they want the email!
This is true. The list should definitely meet the subscriber's expectations at all costs or risk a charge back from the subscriber. If the email is not done properly then expect to get it tagged as spam.
There is another part of the equation that should be added; The Charge Back.
Quite often people will purchase on impulse. When they receive the email they have paid for they will mark it as spam, and then tell their credit card compnay that they aren't getting what they're paying for and insist upon a refund.
Now, not only do the spam reports make it more difficult to get be delivered, the company is facing the expense of a charge back and the risk that too many will put them into a higher processing rate.
Brilliant insight. You hit the nail on the head.

CROWN PRINCESS KATHERINE FOUNDATION MARKS ITS 20TH ANNIVERSARY IN SERBIA
Belgrade, September 19, 2021 – Over 250 projects worth millions of euros have been implemented over the twenty years since the HRH Crown Princess Katherine Foundation was established in Belgrade, but the first HRH Crown Princess Katherine donation was 28 years ago, in 1993 – donation of Isolation, Sterile room for hematology patents to University Children's Hospital Tiršova.
For two decades, HRH Crown Princess Katherine Foundation has supported Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education systems in Serbia and the Republika Srpska. Special focus is given to raising awareness of importance of breast cancer prevention. Among various medical equipment, such as mammography machines, ultrasounds, sequencer for testing cancer genes, most important was digital mobile mammography unit donated twelve years ago to Clinical center Niš, worth 700.000 dollars. During this period, over 145,000 woman was examined thanks to this mobile unit.
In the field of educational systems and Social Welfare, particular attention is devoted to kindergartens, preschools, and schools in Serbia.
In the last two and a half years alone, during COVID-19 pandemic, projects worth several millions Euros have been realized. Primarily focus of these projects was procurement of medical supplies and medical equipment with aim to protect doctors and nurses who are risking their lives to save lives of others, but also ambulances and other necessary devices needed for health care.
In addition, the Foundation pays special attention to progress in the field of medicine and health care and brings together the most eminent domestic and international experts through Royal Medical and Royal Nurses Boards as well as Royal Hearing Screening Committee, that were established under the patronage of HRH Crown Princess Katherine. For 11 years in a row, the Foundation organizes Serbian Diaspora Medical Conferences – SDMC to develop inter-expert cooperation and exchange of knowledge and experience from practice in all areas of medicine, which brings several hundreds of doctors from all over the world to Serbia, to create and improve professional relations but also friendships.
The success of the Foundation in the implementation of a large number of significant projects is direct merit of HRH Crown Princess Katherine, who for many years has been dedicated to humanitarian work and providing help to those who need it most. Thanks to Her Royal Highness's reputation in domestic and international public, the Foundation brings together the most prominent representatives of the international community, as well as the Serbian diaspora with only one goal: to help Serbia and its citizens.
HRH Princess Katherine Foundation was established in Belgrade in September 2001, to continue and expand the tradition of humanitarian work initiated in 1993 in London, when Lifeline Humanitarian Organization was founded. Today, under the patronage of HRH Crown Princess Katherine, Lifeline has offices in New York, Chicago, Toronto, London, and Athens, that have been working for over 25 years, while the center of all activities is in the office of HRH Crown Princess Katherine Foundation in Belgrade, which has been working for over 20 years, upon the arrival of Their Royal Highnesses in Serbia.

OXYGEN from Recent Belgium Cinema series, October 19
By CWB News Department on	 10/06/2011 News
Over the past two decades, Belgian cinema, be it from Flanders or from the French speaking part of the country, has risen to prominence in the international filmmaking arena, boasting richly diverse films that consistently garner critical praise and worldwide anticipation. From the unsettling but still urgently relevant MAN BITES DOG which rocked the Cannes Film Festival in 1992 and the quirky and vibrant tale of identity mix-up in TOTO THE HERO, to the monumental saga of DAENS or the Oscar nominated EVERYBODY FAMOUS, the outstanding thrillers
MEMORY OF A KILLER and DOSSIER K, and the string of critically-lauded dramatic works by the brilliant filial duo Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne (ROSETTA, THE SON, THE CHILD, LORNA'S SILENCE), to the gripping social drama ILLEGAL and this year's impressive crime drama BULLHEAD, the Belgian film industry has proven its dexterity in tone and its originality in aesthetic.
Last year, the Consulate General of Belgium in Los Angeles, launched a monthly Belgian Film Series in partnership with the American Cinemathèque as a celebration of Belgium's Presidency of the European Union in the second half on 2010. Thanks to the great success of the series, 'Grit and Whimsy' returns on a permanent basis starting April 2011. Each third Wednesday of the month is Belgian movie night at the American Cinemathèque in Santa Monica! October's film from this series is OXYGEN. This film will be screened on Wednesday, October 19th, 2011 at 7:30 pm at the Aero Theatre 1328 Montana Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90403.
(2010, Kinepolis Film Distribution, 98 min.) Dir.: Hans Van Nuffel.
Tom (Stef Aerts) and his brother both suffer from cystic fibrosis, a degenerative lung disease. Tom's short life expectancy weighs heavily upon him until a trip to the hospital introduces him to Xavier (Wouter Hendrickx), a CF patient with a much more optimistic outlook, and Eline (Anemone Valcke), a quirky girl under quarantine for an infection. These two boost Tom's spirits tremendously, until the young man falls into a tailspin when his brother dies. But it turns out that a dose of friendship – and love – can work wonders, even if it isn't a cure. As romantic and funny as it is heartbreaking,
OXYGEN is a compelling drama about making the most of the time you have.
Belgian Film Series screenings in Los Angeles is organized by the Consulate General of Belgium in Los Angeles, in cooperation with Flanders Image and Wallonie Bruxelles Images, with the support of E.L.M.A. (European Languages and Movies in America).

Q: Simple way to change 180 to 03:00 Hey! I am trying to change a number of seconds in to a proper time stamp format.
Like I do this to change 180 to 03:00
private void writeTime(int tempo)
        {
            TimeSpan otempo = new TimeSpan(0, 0, tempo);

            string minutos = ((otempo.Minutes <= 9) ? "0" : "") + otempo.Minutes.ToString();
            string segundos = ((otempo.Seconds <= 9) ? "0" : "") + otempo.Seconds.ToString();

            label1.Text = minutos + ":" + segundos;

            centrarLabel();
        }

This does give me 180 into a proper format. I just want to know if there is a simpler way.
This function might be called many many times and I don't want to create a new instance of TimeSpan every single time as I think this might pose a problem with memory etc. I tried using the DateTime class but... I just simply don't see how I can pass it the seconds and it gives me the proper format :(
I am not that great with c#. I am really trying to learn :)
Thanks

A:     int tempo = 180;
    TimeSpan time = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(tempo);
    string txt = string.Format(
        "{0:00}:{1:00}", time.Minutes, time.Seconds);

(edit) As has already been observed - there are no immediate memory concerns with TimeSpan, since it is a struct. However, if you want to be paranoid:
int tempo = 180;
string txt = new StringBuilder(5)
    .Append((tempo / 60).ToString().PadLeft(2, '0')).Append(':')
    .Append((tempo % 60).ToString().PadLeft(2, '0')).ToString();

A: TimeSpan t = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(180);
string s = String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}", t.Hours, t.Seconds);

A: use
label.Text = string.Format("{0:d2}:{1:d2}", otempo.Minutes, otempo.Seconds);

You can use oTempo.TotalMinutes if your minute count can grow bigger that 60...
And don't forget to specify a culture also.

A: TimeSpan is a struct, it is (in this case) allocated on the stack so the cost it negligible, especially considering that you have to make at least one string allocation anyway which is the expensive part.
TimeSpan.FromSeconds(tempo).ToString();

should be sufficient for your needs so long as 180 seconds -> "00:03:00" is acceptable

A: Like others have mentioned, there's probably no need to worry about creating a new TimeSpan to do the conversion, but the simplest way to format it without creating any temporary objects is this:
String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}", tempo / 60, tempo % 60)

Ultrasonic imaging using complementary coded pulses offers the SNR improvements of signal coding without the filter side-lobes introduced by single-transmit codes. Tissue motion between coded pulse emissions, however, can introduce high side-lobes caused by misalignment of complementary filter outputs. This paper presents a method for filtering and motion compensation of complementary coded signals appropriate for use in medical imaging. The method is robust to the effects of non-ideal transducers on the imaging signals, includes mirrored compensation stages to reduce the impact of motion estimation error, and has been shown to reduce side-lobes to levels that compare favorably to systems using FM-coded signals of similar length and bandwidth while providing increased coding gain and range resolution. In addition, motion compensation allows the received data to be used without the frame-rate penalty usually incurred by complementary-coded imaging. The method has been verified using simulated point and speckle targets with both homogeneous and inhomogeneous motion profiles. Selected results have been verified experimentally.


If you read a lot of scientific papers on the subject, you get the impression that the rapid climate change that is evidently starting now is something completely unprecedented. It's not true. Those of us who are interested in past climate changes realize that rapid climate changes have happened before. It's certainly not the same, certainly not with the same causes what we see now, but they did actually happen. In particular, they happened during and at the end of ice ages.
During the last two or three million years, the Earth has actually more often being in an ice age than in the warm period that we are in now. In fact, about 80% or 90% of the time during that period the Earth has been in an ice age. During those ice ages there were some strange things happening called Dansgaard–Oeschger events. or DO-cycles. At some point this happened repeatedly during ice age.
During the last ice age there were about twenty such events. What happened was a rapid warming followed by gradual cooling. The rapid warming took place in between about 50 and 200 years, the cooling was slower than that. The magnitude of the warming was rather large. It was spatially variable: being largest in the high latitudes, but in Greenland, for example, we know from ice score records that these warmings were of an amplitude up to 16 degrees, that's a very big warming in low latitudes. Something more like five degrees, but nevertheless very substantial warming in a rather short period of time.
What's happening today? Simply in terms of the magnitude and speed of the warming it is not unprecedented, because such things happen repeatedly during the Ice Ages. Obviously then the living species must be adapted to some degree to deal with rapid warming. Perhaps, the most remarkable example are the warmings that happened at the very end of each ice age. So, it was like there was a final warming event, which turned out to be the big one that pushed the Earth system into the warm interglacial period, interglacial condition.
We know a great deal in excruciating detail about what happened more or less year by year 11700 ago, which was when the final phase of the last ice age, called the Younger Dryas period came to an end. During that transition there was a global warming by somewhere between five and seven degrees, and it took place in less than 20 years.
If you read the literature about present species distribution and climate change, you might get the impression that we were about to suffer mass extinctions of large numbers of species on the grounds that they can't keep up with rapid climate change. Well, we do know during that transition period at the end of the ice age there certainly were extinctions, they didn't happen immediately, but certainly in a rather limited period around that time. There were large mammals, in particular, such as the woolly mammoth, which of course was very abundant in the high latitudes during the ice age, became extinct. The woolly rhinoceros and the giant Irish megaloceros – there was a whole long list of of large mammals that went extinct.
Now there's still a raging controversy about the role of hunting by Paleolithic people: to what extent were these animals forced to extinction by overhunting and to what extent – by climate change. This has never been resolved. However, I think, it's pretty clear that the both were involved. It's hard to imagine this happening without climate change, certainly they may have been given a bit of a push by human activities. But we do know, if we go back to earlier ace ages, we find also species that went extinct at the end of earlier ice ages as well, even without this kind of help from people. So, climate change had a huge impact on mammals.
What about plants? We know quite a lot about the plants, because we have a lot of fossil records, and not only pollen records from all over the world, but also plant microfossils. We know about tens of thousands of species that were present in the ice age, we know a lot about them. People are often surprised when I tell them how many species we know about, how many plant species went extinct at the end of the last ice age. So, the total is one. There is a species of spruce called picea Critch velde I, has been named and properly described on the basis of fossil specimens that apparently went extinct. Plants apparently were very well able to cope.
This has been called the quaternary conundrum. The quaternary is the name for the epoch consisting of the last two million years or so. How can it be plants in particular was so well able to survive these extraordinary changes in climate that happen quite naturally? And it's obviously a question that has considerable contemporary relevance. Because it suggests that predictions of widespread extinctions of plant species, or indeed many other groups that survived very well, such as most groups of insects and even small mammals that did not suffer major extinctions, but the question is how were they able to deal with such rapid climate change and what are the implications for the present day? It rather suggests that these dire predictions of mass extinction purely due to climate change can't possibly be correct. In a paper we published in Science a few years back we analyzed different types of behavior that we see in the paleoecological records. From fossil records we can infer that plants and animals had several different ways of dealing with climate change.
There are some species that basically just stay where they were and just put up with it, this is what we call tolerance. We have examples of each of these types of behavior in the plant and animal kingdom. So, tolerance is a simple behavior. We have habitat shifts. So, there are known examples where a species didn't really move its range very much, but it did move the microhabitat that it occupies. Species of plant, for example, that tend to be found in a certain region on north-facing slopes now were found on south-facing slopes. So, it just nipped around the other side of the mountain. This is, of course, easier to do in regions of complex topography, that's probably why mountain regions tend to be particularly species-rich. The species had been able to pull this kind of trick in the past when faced with climate change.
So, we have toleration, we have habitat shift, we have migration, and there are many examples where species of both plants and animals have actually moved their range by thousands of kilometers. So, they're evidently capable of doing it, even though the climate has been changing rapidly, it's a bit of a mystery how they manage it. Of course there is extinction and there are example of extinction, but as I said, for plants we have only one example, for large mammals we have many others.
I want to say a little about how this issue has been treated in recent assessment, because I think, that is a major issue that requires resolution. Every six or seven years and the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) puts out big reports, huge thick reports on the state of climate science. Each time there are three working groups, each of which produces a thick report. One working group – about the physical science basis of climate change; working group two – on impacts, adaptation and vulnerability to climate change; and working group three – on mitigation, in other words, stopping of climate change.
The topic I'm talking about figures in both the physical science basis and the impacts, and it's quite interesting to see how it has been treated. I should say that these reports ought to be authoritative, basically there is a very large cross-section across the scientific community, and they are also scrutinized in incredible detail by many reviewers, far more than most of the scientific literature.
They are thought to get the story right, but there is a bit of a problem here. It is an issue that really rather urgently requires resolution, because it has considerable implications, for example, for a conservation policy. If you look at the most recent IPCC report series, which came out in in 2014, you can find all of these in the DO-events, there is a good treatment of them in the chapter about past climates. So, the details are all there and are perfectly correct, as we would expect considering there were many very good scientists producing that chapter.
When it comes to the summary, you find not much about rapid climate changes, and there is a figure given for the rate of change at the end of the last ice age. But the figure is given in degrees per thousand years. So, that number is quite small. I don't see what is the point of talking about degrees per thousand years for a change that has happened within 20 years. I think there's a bit of a problem in the way in which this is being presented up to the top. Then in working with two DO-events, it turns out they are never mentioned.
There is some analysis of the potential vulnerability of different groups of organisms to rapid climate change, which comes to a surprising conclusion. It's not based on the past data that I've been talking about, but it's based on completely different evidence for effects of very recent climate change.
The conclusion is that some large mammals should be okay, if I slightly oversimplify, small mammals might have a problem, and plants that can't move like trees should have a big problem. So, I don't know what to make of this, because it appears to be directly contradictory to the page of ecological evidence. This really needs sorting out, I would love to sort it out, because it has obvious practical implications. Conservationists have been thrown into confusion about climate change, because there is this idea that species simply will not be able to keep up with the rate of climate change and in particular of the velocity of climate change.
Velocity is used to refer to the extent to which a given climate moves across the landscape. So, it is dependent not only on the rate of change in time, but also the gradient in space, and particularly over a flat terrain, the velocity of climate change can become extremely high. But nobody's really quantified the past velocity of climate change. So, there have been a number of papers on velocity, which basically conclude that the most species have had it. From the conservation point of view you might conclude that in that case the only thing that we can do to preserve species is actually to move them, to help them to colonize new habitats. Or perhaps, it suggests an emphasis simply on conserving their gene bank (conserving seeds of plants, so that they can in some future time be moved to some other habitats).
This is a kind of a last-ditch rescue operation. Our interpretation of the paleorecord suggests actually that would be the wrong place to focus on. Instead we should be simply focusing on removing obvious barriers to migration. It's quite true, the present landscape is a very different landscape from that existed in the end of the ice age, because we've messed around with it in many ways, we've fragmented it, we've replaced forests with fields and so on. We made a lot of changes. So, conservation policy might perhaps focus on what it needed to ensure continuity in the landscape rather than mounting some kind of last-ditch operation to avoid extinction.

The pressing issue of how to deal with the effects of global climate change is an integral part of the speculative project hybrid nature. We propose an investigation of an adaptive reuse of former military vessels to create a buffer zone for the city, it's inhabitants and it's surrounding environments. The idea of the reimagined waterfornt is based on the premise of instead of keeping the water out, the infrastructure is designed to let the water in. Due to its speculative approach the project is particulary meant to be a starting point for discussion.
