TVA Ignored Warnings, Treated Coal Ash as 'Garbage'
Posted by Michael Searcy ⋅ July 29, 2009 ⋅ Leave a comment
Filed Under carbon sequestration, clean coal, coal, environmental disaster, kingston, TVA
In late December of 2008 the Tennessee Valley Authority's Kingston Fossil Plant in Roane County, Tennessee, experienced the largest coal ash disaster in U.S. history. The retaining reservoir collapse, which received little attention in the way of national media coverage, released 5.4 million cubic yards of toxic sludge that fouled more than 300 acres of the surrounding countryside and led to a billion dollar cleanup effort still underway and a litany of lawsuits. Time magazine covered the story in January, and then GQ did an in-depth article in June.
In the aftermath, it has come to light that, not only was the TVA aware of the dangers posed by expanding coal ash ponds for more than twenty years and failed to act, the TVA also deliberately mitigated the possibility of management being found liable in the Kingston collapse according to a new report from the independent Inspector General of the TVA.
If only the Kingston facility was unique.
EPA Lists Hazardous Sites, None TVA
In March of this year, the EPA, which has been reticent to list coal ash as hazardous waste, issued information request letters to electric utilities around the country utilizing waste dikes similar to the Kingston facility. Reviewing the responses to these letters, combined with on-site inspections, the EPA released a list at the end of June of 44 sites around the country with waste dikes that rated as a "high hazard potential" to the surrounding area. Such a rating indicates that a failure at the site would likely result in loss of life. The list contains four sites in West Virginia, seven in Kentucky, six in Ohio, nine in Arizona, twelve in North Carolina, two in Illinois, and one each in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Montana.
"The presence of liquid coal ash impoundments near our homes, schools and business could pose a serious risk to life and property in the event of an impoundment rupture…By compiling a list of these facilities, EPA will be better able to identify and reduce potential risks by working with states and local emergency responders."
– Lisa P. Jackson, EPA Administrator
Surprisingly, of the TVA's 11 active coal-fired power plants and one retired plant, none made the list, including the Kingston facility where the spill occurred. TVA had classified all of them as a "low" risk of harm. When the hypocrisy of the TVA assessing its own sites was pointed out, the TVA responded that its assessment of its sites occurred prior to the Kingston incident and that "in the interest of taking a conservative, self-critical approach" four of its 12 sites had been given a preliminary reassessment ranking of "high risk". The utility also indicated that an outside consultancy, Stantec, had been hired to perform a comprehensive, independent reassessment of all of its facilities.
Despite these substantial preliminary reassessment hazard upgrades, none of the TVA's facilities has been added to the EPA's list.
Specific to the Kingston disaster, the Inspector General of the TVA testified on July 28 before the House Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment. In conjunction with the testimony, the OIG released a 110-page report detailing the investigation of the cause of the Kingston failure.
Looking the Other Way
The OIG investigation found that the TVA had been aware of the stability dangers of expanding coal ash ponds for better than 20 years and had opted not to add the waste water dikes to its internal Dam Safety Program, which would have required rigorous inspections and related engineering. The TVA's own Enterprise Risk Management process, which had been in place since 1999, did not consider ash management as a risk, and the report found the culture within TVA considered the ash more as garbage rather than a potential environmental hazard.
"The TVA culture at fossil plants relegated ash to the status of garbage at a landfill rather than treating it as a potential hazard to the public and the environment."
– Richard W. Moore, Inspector General, Tennessee Valley Authority
As to the TVA's reactions to the Kingston disaster, the OIG report found that TVA management had too narrowly defined the scope of a root cause analysis performed by independent engineering firm AECOM with the intended result of minimizing management culpability, while at the same time encouraging everyone at the authority to simply "move forward" from the event with little in the way of lessons learned.
Historically, an internal TVA memorandum from 1987 warned of the breech potential of expanding coal ash ponds, noting hazards to surface and groundwater systems while encouraging greater oversight. The OIG report found that, while the memo generated some internal discussion regarding whether or not such sites should be added to the Authority's Dam Safety Program, the TVA opted against such a classification.
"Greater amounts of ash have resulted in expansion of ash ponds. In some instances the dikes that contain this water have become quite high with increasing risk and consequences of a breech. Because of the potential for harm to both surface and groundwater from the failure of a dike, greater attention and establishment of more specific inspection standards for these dikes should be examined."
– Internal TVA memorandum, 1987
The dike at the Kingston facility had grown to a height of over 60 feet and covered 84 acres of riverbank at the time it collapsed.
It was not as if the Kingston site had not provided its own warnings.
The Kingston dike had noticeable "seepage" issues in both 2003 and 2006, to which the TVA responded with patch jobs rather than more expensive and comprehensive repairs. During his testimony before the Senate's Environmental and Public Works committee in January, Tom Kilgore, the TVA President and CEO, admitted, "Obviously, that looks bad for us…We thought this containment was a viable containment. We had no reason to believe that it wouldn't hold this."
The EPA has promised proposed regulation of coal combustion wastes by the end of this year.

The 121 E 22nd Street condominium project is located on the border of two distinct neighborhoods. The structure is situated between the natural domestic beauty of Gramercy Park and the distinctly urban character of the Madison Square Neighborhood. The building façade, conceptualized by Shohei Shigematsu of OMA New York, is a study in contrasts. A rigorously orthogonal grid of "New York Deco" inspired windows clashes with a tessellated organic geometry to create a dynamic expressive hybrid. This context of contrasts became INC's primary inspiration in the development of the project interiors. Highly polished, abstract materials like mirror, black glass and satin lacquer are juxtaposed with very rough or active materials like figured marbles and concrete plaster. The slick and minimal cohabitate with the tactile and textured. Dark surfaces give way to light. The decorative elements throughout follow a similar logic with contrasts of softness, hardness, faceted forms, and curvaceous ones. OMA's design idiom is rooted in 1970s & 80s Neo-modernism. This era was characterized by a hopeful, heroic, and even cheerful modernism that feels relevant and necessary today. Many of the objects, decorative elements, and colors owe a nostalgic debit to this era with soft colors, playful graphic forms, and a dynamic collection of highly idiosyncratic elements.


I don't really play BBs, but I have him in my IJN DDs (currently Asashio) and he's done well in Zao too.
I got fragged today by enemy as I was skilfully dodging my own team's Zao torps...he thought it was my fault of course. Last match my four teammates around me at spawn had one camo and four signals between them, tier 8. I almost quit there and then. We got pumped of course.
Great explanation, thanks! I got here by googling WOWS what the f**k is sigma.
OK. What I was trying to mean was, if you have an understanding of concealment and spotting (which actually is pretty skilled to execute well whilst remaining unspotted with CVs and radar), then you'll like Asashio because it has great concealment. I'm a fairly decent IJN torpboat player, and I love Shiratsuyu and Yugumo, and I also really like the Asashio because it's a different take on the IJN torpboat playstyle. It's still a difficult ship to do well in - you have no AA, firing torps at 20km is a hail mary due to spread and islands etc, and everyone likes to kill you. By 'reasonable' I don't mean 'unskilled moron', I mean someone who has maybe a few thousand games and understands the IJN torpboat playstyle.
I play mostly random solo and I love my IJN torp dds - Shiratsuyu and Yugumo my two favourite ships in the whole game. After much thought over the last few months I finally decided to buy Asashio yesterday. It's very early days (only a handful of games) but I LOVE IT. Yeah, you can't torp dds or cruisers, but that's what makes it interesting and actually makes me focus on more core dd responsibilities. If you're a reasonable IJN torpboat player, then you will love the Asashio's concealment and therefore spotting abilities. The guns are useful if you have them pointing in the right direction, can easily finish off a low to half hp dd if you run into one. It has good evasive abilities (I've been radared a few times and managed to escape with losing hp of course but not deleted). And those torps if you have a good bb target (or cv), well kaboom. Of course, if you come up against gunboat dds or just about any cruiser it's new pants time, but that's what balances it. I'm sure I'll have rubbish/frustrating games in it but life's like that, and so far so good. I even feel comfortable in a T10 game with it. I wouldn't recommend it to new players (you'll be in high tier matches and will be a liability) or folks who don't like the IJN torpboat style of play - if you like Shira/Yugo you'll love Asashio.
At last, I have achieved something in this game. Do I get doubloons?
It's funny how different ships suit different players. I have 61% WR in Yugumo and 52% in Fletch, think I have much more games in the Yugu cos I like it so much. I play it in solo randoms with TRB so I don't succumb to the temptation of using smoke. In fact I don't like using smoke at all, I can never make it work for me. I sold my Shima and use my Yugu for high tier. Interestingly I love playing the Zao and Minotaur, am average in the Zao (but getting better) and howling bad in the Mino (even tho I love it, even losing games tend to be fun in it). Yugu was crap at recent T9 Ranked from Rank 10 though, or maybe it was me that was crap.
Around 53 at the moment. The Minotaur in smoke is great at losing karma (and being called cancer in chat), which is really unfair - if only they knew how much my left-click finger aches after playing it. I tend to report anyone who single shots me early on in a game. I can't handle it emotionally and they thoroughly deserve it. Oh, and CV players cos uhm... they're CV players.
Are there any open water cruisers ?
Like you, I don't enjoy the island hugging tactic and I'm rubbish at it. I'm having great fun in the Zao using fire and manouevre at range, with perhaps closing in a bit and using torps when not spotted (the torp firing angle makes you very vulnerable if spotted). I also find that firing guns then waiting to go dark before firing again helps a lot - whilst keeping moving/angling/kiting. The reds will focus you when you're always spotted due to your firing, but will lose interest (or just fire blind) if you disappear in between salvos.
What a fabulous thing to do - thank you for organising! I want to join the lottery please. Also, as a DD main, I'd like to donate any premium DD up to T8 that is available in the premium shop at the time (ship and slot only). Hopefully a BB main will win it, then they can understand the challenges we DD guys have!!! Happy holidays!!

BIG NIGHT: The Linked event proved popular. Julia Bartrim
The first 'Linked' event a big success
by Juliabartrim
A CROWD of people gathered in the Headspace office on Goondoon street on Thursday night for the first, of what will hopefully be, many monthly events.
The Linked event, organised by the Gladstone Intercultural Reference Group, aims to bring members of the community together and to provide information about different services accessible to them.
Natalia Muszkat, director of Welcoming Intercultural Neighbours, said the night went very well.
"We're very happy, we got about 60 people," she said.
"We are really looking forward to the next one."

Ms Muszkat is passionate about encouraging connections between people and about helping them tap into available services.
The event attracted representatives from a number of countries including The Philippines, Pakistan, Argentina, China, Ireland, Guinea (in West Africa), Iran and Australia.
Rikki Razon moved to Gladstone nine months ago.
He volunteers at Gladstone Youth for Cultural Diversity, is taking English lessons and said he would be coming to the next meet up.
"It's fun, (there's) lots of nice people," he said.

Building Hope One Life at a Time.
The Lord said '"Whom shall I send."; We want to say said, '"Here I am Lord; Send me." We believe it is both a joy and a responsibility for every member of our church to find ways to demonstrate God's love through mission work. No matter our skills, time or age, we know that God has given each of us special gifts to share.
Habitat for Humanity: We will be participating with other churches in building a new home right here in our community.
Around Christmas we participated in old favorites and new mission events including our first year participating in Operation Christmas Child donating shoebox gifts for needy children, our traditional Advent Giving Tree where Missions collects gifts and money for local ministries as well as for several needy families. For example; ABW (Alternatives for Battered Women); CWS (Church World Service) to purchase blankets; Building materials for a village in Peru destroyed by flooding earlier this year and we withstood the cold Bell ringing for Salvation Army. Despite unusually cold weather we stood together taking shifts with our families and church friends ringing a bell at the red collection bucket. These events not only help those in need at this time of year, but also we remind others (and ourselves) of what Christmas is really about.
RHAFT Rush-Henrietta Area Food Terminal provides food to local families in need. We collect much needed food, and encourage participation as drivers and packers. Collection boxes in the foyer by the coat racks. Souper Bowl collection was made on Super Bowl Sunday collecting extra food for RHAFT at time where supplies are often falling low.

Enter Mepolizumab, Better Late Than Never
This newest asthma medication—two decades in development—offers millions new hope. Good stuff, say many, but costly.
Thomas Morrow, MD
All kinds of nostrums and contraptions have been used to treat asthma over the centuries and some have actually helped. Although he did not know what actually caused his own breathing difficulty, Dr. Henry Hyde Salter back in the 19th century prescribed strong coffee to stem an attack. The caffeine in coffee is a mild bronchodilator and is similar to theophylline, a recognized therapy for asthma.
Asthma cigarettes were popular in the 19th and into the 20th century. Smoking for asthma now seems crazy, but asthma cigarettes were made with herbs and material from plants like jimsonweed, which also contain substances that act as bronchodilators.
Sir William Osler, often tagged with the "father of modern medicine" sobriquet, described asthma as having the following components: spasm of the bronchial muscles; swelling of the bronchial mucous membrane; inflammation of the smaller bronchioles; a familial tendency, with the problem often beginning in childhood and persisting into old age; and a predilection to strike due to a wide variety of initiating circumstances such as dust, exposure to cats, emotion, diet, and infections.
Osler wasn't that far off. More up-to-date definitions describe asthma as a collection of phenotypes of lung disease that lead to inflammation of the airways. The inflammation results in bronchoconstriction. These newer descriptions bring in the initiating event, as well as the biomarkers.
The primary goals of treatment, according to the NIH, are to reduce impairment and the risk of exacerbations. Treatment has had two prongs: reversing the bronchoconstriction with beta agonists and quelling inflammation with inhaled and oral corticosteroids. Over the past several decades, elucidation of some of the pathways underlying inflammation, such as the leukotriene pathway, has led to some new treatments. In the '20s, researchers discovered immunoglobulin E (IgE). Severe asthma is often accompanied by high levels of IgE. That discovery led to omalizumab (sold as Xolair), a monoclonal antibody that treats asthma by binding to IgE.
Asthma is also characterized by the infiltration of eosinophils into the small airways. This infiltration is mediated—at least in part—by interleukin-5 (IL-5).
The term interleukin was coined by Dr. Vern Paetkau at a time when it was thought that these proteins were produced by leukocytes and acted on leukocytes, hence the term "interleukin." It is now known that interleukins act on a wide variety of cells, but the name stuck. The various interleukins can act to increase as well as decrease the inflammatory or immune response of the human body.
There are at least 35 different varieties of interleukins, and they are named by number. As maestro of the eosinophils, IL-5 seems to be one of the most important ones, and it has a hand in orchestrating their growth, differentiation, recruitment, activation, and survival.
An Investigational New Drug application was opened in 1997 for mepolizumab, which blocks IL-5. Initial studies focused on a general "moderate asthma" population. Although mepolizumab produced a profound decrease in eosinophils, it did not demonstrate a clinical benefit. Working with the FDA, the drug's developers chose a more restricted study group reflecting a readily identifiable "real world" population for trials conducted in the 2000s. It wasn't until two months ago that mepolizumab finally made it to market. Sold as Nucala and marketed by GlaxoSmithKline, it is the first approved IL-5 antibody.
Mepolizumab keeps IL-5 from binding to a specific IL-5 receptor on the eosinophil cell surface and inhibits the overexpression of serum and tissue eosinophils. By neutralizing the effect of IL-5, mepolizumab reduces eosinophilic inflammation in the lung and reduces exacerbations and improves asthma control.
The FDA approved mepolizumab as an add-on maintenance treatment for patients aged 12 and older who have severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype. It is injected in 100 mg doses subcutaneously in the upper arm, thigh, or abdomen every four weeks. It is not indicated for relief of acute bronchospasm or status asthmaticus. It was studied in a population treated with high-dose inhaled corticosteroids plus a second controller drug.
Mepolizumab's approval was based on three randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter trials that enrolled 1,327 people. All study volunteers had markers of eosinophilic airway inflammation. In the first trial, the markers included blood eosinophil count ≥300 cells/mcL, sputum eosinophil count ≥3%, exhaled nitric oxide concentration of 50 ppb or deterioration of asthma control after ≤25% reduction in regular maintenance inhaled corticosteroids/oral corticosteroids. For the other two trials, the enrollment criteria included an elevated blood eosinophil count of >150 cells/mcL within 6 weeks of dosing or >300 cells/mcL within 12 months of dosing.
Of the study volunteers, 59% were female, 85% white, and ranged in ages from 12 to 82. They were long-time asthma sufferers (an average of 19 to 20 years), and their asthma was severe (mean percentage of predicted FEV1 was 60%). The vast majority had never smoked.
Adverse events were most often related to headache, injection site reaction, back pain, and fatigue. Researchers counted 263 adverse reactions among those taking mepolizumab compared with 257 taking a placebo, so the drug emerged from clinical trials with a good safety profile.
Efficacy measures were exacerbations that resulted in an emergency department visit, hospitalization, or both. The drug was studied in both 75- and 100 mg doses. Both were effective, but 100 mg was superior, which is why it is the approved dose. The 100 mg dose was significantly better than placebo, and not just in the narrow P value sense of the word. Hospitalizations were reduced by 39% to 69% compared with placebo, and exacerbations fell by 48% to 53%.
One confirmatory trial focused on reducing the dose of oral corticosteroids; the primary endpoint was the reduction of oral corticosteroids 20 to 24 weeks after starting therapy while maintaining asthma control. The results showed 23% of those taking mepolizumab reduced their oral corticosteroid use by 90 to 100%, compared with 11% of those taking a placebo. One exception to the hands-down good results was FEV1. It was measured in all three trials, and the improvements from mepolizumab were inconsistent.
Managed care implications
After nearly two decades of clinical development, mepolizumab offers new hope to those with asthma. All the work that countless researchers have done to crack open the mysteries of inflammation and delineate its complexities has paid off with the identification of IL-5 and a therapy that stifles its pro-inflammatory activity.
The announced whole acquisition price (WAC) is $2,500 per dose, which works out to about $32,500 a year (there are 13 doses per year). The dosing of the anti-Ige drug, omalizumab, is based on weight and IgE levels, so whether mepolizumab is more or less costly than omalizumab for payers will vary. According to a recent review of mepolizumab by the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review, the annual cost of omalizumb for the typical patient using WAC pricing is $32, 669, so it is comparable to mepolizumab.
Soon, though, it may face some competition from other drugs that target interleukins. The one most likely to reach the market first is another anti–IL-5 agent, Teva's reslizumab, which got a thumbs up from an FDA advisory committee in December. But will reslizumab and the others compete on price?
The FDA does not seem inclined to demand comparative effectiveness trials, so perhaps payers and providers can team up in some way to use "big data" including genomic traits, biomarkers, patient administered respiratory functions, and aggregated claim data to determine a rational prior authorization pecking order for these increasingly expensive medications. But that is a discussion for another day in Tomorrow's Medicine!
Correction: Information about the relative pricing of mepolizumab and omalizumab was corrected on February 25, 2016.

In ancient times, a large population of China was that of farmers. The kings, nobles and merchants formed a small percentage of the total population. There was a wide gap between the economic condition of farmers and that of the kings
Life of Farmers:
Farmers had tough and difficult life. They lived in small villages. They worked day and night, yet they did not even own the land that they worked on. The property was usually owned by the noble or king. In addition to working on the noble's land, the farmer had to give gifts to the noble.
Although they used ploughs and animals like dog and oxen, most of the farm work was still done by hands.
Farmers also celebrated the Spring festival. This festival was celebrated every year in order to assure a good harvest. This was equivalent to the Chinese New Year.
Farmers had to work for the government for around one month every year. They either had to serve in military or had to do construction projects like building palaces, canals and city walls. Farmers were also required to give some percentage of crops to the government as tax.
Chinese Farming:
Most farmers were very poor. They owned chickens and pigs and sometimes an ox or mule. In the North people grew crops of wheat or millet while in the South they grew rice. In the 16th century new crops such as sweet potatoes, maize and peanuts were introduced. Other crops included tea, sugar and cotton.
The rich people of China ate very well. They ate grains like rice, wheat and millet. They also ate plenty of meat including pork, chicken, duck, goose and dog. Vegetables included yams, soya beans, broad beans and turnip as well as spring onions and garlic.
They also ate plenty of fish. Soup was made with shark's fin, bird's nest, bears paws and sea slugs. People drank wine made from rice or millet. They also drank tea.
Poor people of China had a boring diet. In north, people ate wheat in the form of dumplings, pancakes or noodles. While in south, staple food of people was rice. People who lived close to the river ate fish as well.
Chinese Houses:
Rich people lived in large wooden houses. Roofs were made of tiles and were built in a curved shape. However even in a rich house there was little furniture but rich people were very fond of their gardens.
Poor people lived in huts of perhaps 2 rooms. Roofs were often thatched and furniture was very basic such as wooden benches.
Life in City:
On the other hand, life in cities was very different. People in the city had jobs like merchants, craftsmen, scholar or government official. The merchants in ancient China were neglected. They were not given much importance in the social life.
During the time of wars, they were not allowed to enter the boundaries of the city till the war ended. The merchants were expected to defend themselves without any kind of help from the authorities.
Family Life:
China was a male dominating society. In the Chinese family, the father ruled over his wife and children. The male had much more power over the household than the females.
The eldest male (usually the father) was in charge and dominated the affairs of all the family members.
The daily life of a women at this time was filled with taking care of the home and the children. The structure and difference between genders was greatly emphasized. The woman had to respect and obey her husband at all times. Women almost never were married to the men of their choice. If she did something wrong, her family would be in disgrace.
Lot of importance was given to male heir as he carried on the family. Girls were valued much less than boys and baby girls were often killed. In any case infant mortality rate was high.
Only boys went to school. There they learned the teachings of Confucius and calligraphy. Of course, only a minority of boys went to school. Most did not. Instead they worked in the fields from an early age.
Young girls had their feet painfully bound to prevent their feet from growing because small feet were considered attractive. This often caused their feet to become deformed and made it difficult to walk. This practice of binding the feet was called foot binding(Lotus feet).
Chinese Weapons:
Before 600 BC, chariots dominated Chinese warfare. After 600 BC, cavalry began to replace chariots. Furthermore rulers began to raise large armies of infantry. About 500 BC a general called Sun Tzu wrote a book called the Art of War, which was the world's first military manual. About 400 BC the crossbow was invented in China.
Gunpowder was probably invented around the year 900 AD. It was used for rockets, grenades and bombs.

Q: Magento backend can't browse,upload, or select images when editing or creating products The Magento Version that I'm using is 1.7.0.2
My problem is that when I go to create or edit a product and I select "Images" under
"Product Information" all I get is a line that says "Images".
Underneath the line that says "Images" I'm supposed to get a table with radio buttons, and two other buttons that say "Browse Files" and "Upload Files", but I don't.
Anyone have an idea as to how to solve this issue?
Edit:
I also just noticed that I'm missing everything under Inventory and Categories.
There's also some broken buttons, such as the Save Attribute button.

Singapore is a great city to stroll through. It is a shopper's paradise, but has also many fine temples as you can see in this selection of Singapore pictures. Several temples even surpass most of the temples from South India and of course without all the dirt and garbage.
I really enjoyed the culture performances counting to the best I have ever seen. And last but no least all the beautiful, very well dressed, Singapore girls. This city has beauty almost everywhere I went and is therefore one of my favorite Asian cities (together with Kuala Lumpur, Beijing and Bangkok).


Massive Changes to Battlefield 3 on March 27th for all three systems. Detailed info found here.
Most notably, players can now purchase Shortcut Packs. This means with real currency players can nab several unlock packs.
On top of the new in-game store, DICE and EA have introduced a rent-a-server service. For $1.49 / $6.99 / $24.99 / $64.99, you can get your very own server for 1 / 7 / 30 / 90 days.
Private servers give players full customization over their matches, from HUD visibility, to number of tickets, and much more. Custom names, descriptions, and logos come as part of the package.
Based on players wants, Wake Island now gets a five flag layout. But due to the big fixes, PS3 players also have to re-download Back to Karkand due to a bug fix. For a full list of every fix, including small tweaks like short fall damage and increased spawn protection, check out the Battlefield Blog.
This page documents official Patches issued for Battlefield 3.
The patch notes described below are not yet issued and, according to a Battlelog blog update the issue date is not yet known. The patch notes apply to PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
Fixed some situations that would unintentionally make a player un-revivable.
Increased the damage the MBT's primary weapon does to the front and side armor of other main battle tanks. Primarily this means 1 less shot to the front, and very good hits to the side can result in a 1 hit to disable.
Fixed a problem when locking on to two nearby targets, the locking should no longer jump rapidly between multiple targets. This applies to all locking weapons and Laser Designators.
Increased the damage of the Javelin and Air to Ground missiles against laser designated targets.
Increased the speed of the Helicopter AA missiles lock on to reduce the tedious nature of Helicopter dogfights and improve the Helicopter's defensive abilities vs Jets.
Improved the accuracy of the Attack Helicopter's Rocket Pods, both guided and unguided.
Slightly increased the damage of Attack Helicopter's Rocket Pods vs Infantry and other Helicopters.
Additional fixes have been made to the TV missile to prevent it from blowing up the launching vehicle.
Adjusted the F35's Center of Mass and Hover Engine for more stable, level flight in all flight modes.
The A10's extinguisher should now function properly.
The T90's crosshair now more accurately represents the trajectory of the main gun.
Tweaked the AAV's turret controls to be more useful when the vehicle is moving.
Reduced the recoil of the SKS rifle and increased its maximum damage at close range.
Semiautomatic weapons will no longer "jam" if the player presses fire faster than the weapon is capable of shooting. Some semi-automatic weapons have had their rates of fire adjusted to fit this change.
Several weapons have had recoil or accuracy adjusted in order to balance these weapons in effectiveness and also increase the feeling of individuality in each gun effectiveness and also increase the feeling of individuality in each gun.
M27 IAR No change. The M27 is a heavier version of the M416, giving it good all-around performance though it has worse performance on the move.
RPK-74M Reduced the initial recoil and vertical recoil. The RPK-74M is a more stable firing platform than the comparable M27, though it lacks the M27's higher rate of fire.
M249 Added an initial recoil. The M249 is the fastest firing belt fed LMG, giving it superior suppressive and damage abilities. The initial recoil makes it a bit harder to run and gun, while making little overall impact on performance.
Type-88 Slightly increased the initial recoil, reduced muzzle drift. The Type88 fires the slowest of the medium caliber LMGs, though what it lacks in rate of fire it makes up for in controllability.
PKP Pecheneg Reduced recoil but added a slight initial recoil, increased damage at max range. The Pecheneg has a heavy vertical recoil with a hard hitting round and little drift, this makes it excellent at sustained fire.
Reduced the initial recoil, increased damage at all ranges. The M60E4 has a very low rate of fire that makes it the most controllable with the powerful 7.62x51mm round.
M240B Added an initial recoil, increased damage at all ranges. The fastest firing medium MG, the M240 has a substantial muzzle kick and drift that makes all that power difficult to control.
QBB-95 Reduced the total recoil but increased muzzle drift and initial recoil. The QBB-95 should now kick harder but settle into full auto fire better, combined with the bullpup hip fire bonus this makes the QBB-95 a highly mobile LMG.
MG36 Added an initial recoil. The MG36 fires at a fast 750rpm and makes a nice middle ground between the controllability of a clip LMG and the sustained firepower of a belt fed LMG.
No change. The 870MCS is a popular and highly effective weapon.
DAO-12 Reduced the total pellets fired from 12 to 9. The DAO-12 has a high magazine capacity with a slow reload that makes it a solid all around shotgun.
M1014 Increased the rate of fire from 200 max to 210 max. Reduced the total pellets fired from 12 to 9. The M1014 was underperforming compared to the USAS12 and 870, it should now be more viable in CQB thanks to a higher rate of fire.
Increased extended mag from 8 rounds to 10 rounds. Reduced the total pellets fired from 12 to 9. The SAIGA-12k larger extended magazine but slower rate of fire should make it stand out against the M1014, while the DAO-12 has a higher capacity over all, but a slowe reload.
MK3A1 Increased magazine capacity to 8 and 12 for normal and extended mag respectively. Reduced the total pellets fired from 12 to 9. The MK3A1 has a lower ROF than the USAS12, giving it slightly more ammo makes this an edge vs the USAS.
USAS-12 Increased the initial recoil. Reduced the total pellets fired from 12 to 9. The USAS 12 has a higher ROF than other shotguns, this recoil change better balances that advantage and the pellets balance its damage output.
M4A1 No Change. Well-rounded carbine, with good rate of fire and controllable recoil.
M4 Increased vertical recoil, reduced horizontal recoil. The Burst only M4 should now feel different to its automatic sibling, the reduced horizontal recoil emphasizes the greater control you have in burst fire.
AKS-74U Reduced initial recoil and vertical recoil. The AKS-74u's low rate of fire is paired with great controllability. The overall increase in sustained fire control should help this carbine stand out, while the first kick gives it character.
SG553 Reduced initial recoil and vertical recoil. The SG553 is a lower rate of fire carbine with greater controllability than the G36C. The change to initial recoil should better highlight this difference.
A-91A91 No Change. The A-91's high rate of fire and bullpup from the hip accuracy is offset by a poor controllability on full auto.
G36C Reduced initial recoil. The G36C is a well-rounded carbine, with a medium rate of fire and a medium recoil. The 2 round burst mode gives this weapon an edge at mid-range.
SCAR-H Increased damage at maximum range and increased max range. The SCAR-H fires a heavier round than all other carbines, giving it better stopping power at range at the cost of a low fire rate that penalizes it in CQB.
G53 Reduced recoil and drift, recoil settle times now similar to other carbines. The HK53 is a short carbine with a lot of initial kick but a stable recoil pattern and a medium rate of fire. The changes give it more character compared to the G36.
QBZ-95B Reduced muzzle sway, recoil settle times now similar to other carbines. A bullpup like the A91, the QBZ-95B is steady on the move with a lower rate of fire for controllable shots at longer range. The built in foregrip is now properly reflected in the weapon's stats.
AK-74M Reduced initial recoil and vertical recoil. The AK-74M sacrifices rate of fire for controllable automatic fire, the initial recoil was negatively affecting the feeling of controllability.
M16A3 No Change. The M16 (both A3 and A4) provide a well-rounded stable firing platform with a high rate of fire that is relatively controllable.
M16A4 Increased vertical recoil, reduced horizontal recoil. The Burst only M16A4 should now feel different to its automatic sibling, the reduced horizontal recoil emphasizes the greater control you have in burst fire.
M416 No change. The M416 is the middle ground AR, blending a medium recoil and rate of fire.
AEK-971 Increased initial recoil, reduced aimed accuracy slightly. The AEK has a very high rate of fire, and also a large muzzle drift that makes control difficult. The low initial recoil allowed a player to kill before the weapon's weaknesses kicked in while the reduced accuracy highlights its close range role.
F2000 Reduced vertical recoil, increased zoomed accuracy slightly. As a bullpup, the F2000 has a bonus to accuracy on the move and from the hip while its high rate of fire sacrifices controllability for saturation. The previous changes were an overreaction, this is a corrective update.
AN-94 Reduced vertical recoil. The AN-94's 2 round burst mode is incredibly accurate, but it suffers from a low rate of fire on fully automatic. The recoil in full auto has been reduced somewhat to offset this penalty and make the AN94 more attractive.
G3A3 Increased damage at all ranges, reduced vertical recoil. The G3A3's heavy recoil and heavy round are offset by a low rate of fire and a small magazine. The G3A3 was clearly outclassed at all ranges.
KH2002 No Change. The KH2002 is locked to burst fire, with a high rate of fire and a large muzzle drift the weapon favors accurate mid-range fire.
L85A2 Increased accuracy, reduced muzzle drift. The L85 differs from other bullpup style ARs by having a low rate of fire, the accuracy and controllability were too low to offset the rate of fire.
FAMAS The FAMAS combines an extreme rate of fire with extreme recoil making it very difficult to use at anything other than close quarters combat. Due to update restrictions, the FAMAS had different stats on all 3 platforms. The FAMAS is now uniform on all platforms and now has the correct 25 round magazine.
PP-2000 Reduced the initial recoil. The PP-2000 has a lower ROF than other PDWs and needed the controllability to be balanced.
UMP-45 Reduced accuracy loss during full auto. The UMP-45 hits hard and has a controllable recoil at the cost of a heavy initial recoil kick.
MP7 No Change. The MP7 has a very low recoil and a high muzzle drift that favors longer bursts than the P90.
AS VAL Increased vertical recoil, reduced first shot recoil, reduced accuracy on the move. The AS VAL fires a long range, highly accurate, high damage projectile that favors short bursts or single fire when stationary. While still quite good from the hip, the AS VAL will suffer if fired while moving and aimed.
PDW-R Reduced the initial recoil. The PDW-R has high recoil and favors burst fire, the added initial recoil was making it less effective in small bursts.
P90 Reduced the initial recoil. The P90 favors a run and gun play style using long bursts to control muzzle drift, the initial recoil was making bursting ineffective.
PP-19 Slightly reduced the initial recoil when firing, increased base damage. The PP-19's high initial recoil was over penalizing the burst fire needed to be effective on the low damage, high capacity weapon.
Corrected the M39's laser sight so it points at the point of impact and aligns with scopes when zoomed.
Increased the Speed at which a bipod is deployed, allowing the user to obtain the bipod's bonus sooner after the deploy has started and allowing the weapon to be aimed in a far shorter time. The speed has been increased 40-50%, depending on the weapon and animation.
The Heavy Barrel is now also paired with Match Rounds which increase the maximum range of the weapon. The minimum and maximum damage are unchanged, weapons with the Heavy Barrel will be more effective in mid range.
Fixed the QBU-88 sniper and the L96 IRNV scopes to use the proper sniper reticule.
The Horizontal Sway reduction has been changed from a global percent reduction to a weapon specific value reduction. For most guns this means very little change, for guns which have a large horizontal recoil the change is more substation. The FAMAS, F2000, and AEK971 are most effected, the AK-74, M16, and M416 are nearly unchanged.
A small long range Aimed Accuracy penalty has been added to the Foregrip. Players who generally find themselves fighting at mid to long range may want to change their accessory, while players fighting in CQB will go largely unaffected. Combining the Foregrip with a Silencer or a Heavy Barrel will offset this penalty.
The Hip Accuracy bonus provided by the Laser Sight has been increased. Some PDWs have had their crouch and prone base stats adjusted to prevent hip firing being more accurate than aimed fire when using a laser sight.
The Suppressor no longer reduces the maximum damage of a weapon when equipped. Instead the Suppressor reduces the minimum and maximum range of the weapon, making it ideal for CQB and Stealth. This change will make the Suppressor slightly more effective at long range, where the bullet drop and speed makes shots difficult already, and reduces the power of the suppressor at mid range slightly.
The Suppressor's recoil bonus remains unchanged at a global 10% decrease. This is less than the Flash Suppressor's bonus for all weapons.
The MAV now properly shows up in the Kill Feed. Previously it simply displayed "KILLED."
The player may now have a maximum number of mines which will persist after the player's death. Deploying more than the maximum of 6 mines will remove a previous mine from the world.
Ammo bags now stay until the user redeploys them like Medkits.
Ammo bags resupply bullets more quickly, but explosives resupply more slowly, especially 40mm grenades.
Tehran Highway playable area has been doubled and is now the same as the Squad Deathmatch set up. Spawn points have been tweaked, and an extra spawn zone has been added north of the footbridge.
Caspian Border spawn zones have been tweaked slightly.
Noshahr Canals spawn zones have been tweaked. Removed unsafe spawn points in the Northeast corner, and in the middle of the container area to the Southwest.

New paper finds effect of volcanoes on climate has been overestimated by factor of 2, & finds lower climate sensitivity to CO2
A paper published today in Atmospheric Chemistry & Physics finds the cooling effect of volcanic eruptions on global temperature has been overestimated by a factor of 2, due to "prior neglect of ocean circulation" of the natural ocean oscillation the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation [AMO]. Consequently, the authors calculate that climate sensitivity to CO2 is about 38% less than claimed by the IPCC. The paper adds to several other recent papers demonstrating that IPCC assumptions of climate sensitivity to CO2 are exaggerated.
[climate sensitivity calculations on page 2044: 1.89C, 38% less than the IPCC central estimate of 3.03C].
Addendum: Coincidentally, another paper was also published today in JGR finding that climate models are unable to reproduce the effect of volcanic eruptions on water vapor and hence climate.

Abstract. Observed reductions in Earth's surface temperature following explosive volcanic eruptions have been used as a proxy for geoengineering of climate by the artificial enhancement of stratospheric sulfate. Earth cools following major eruptions due to an increase in the reflection of sunlight caused by a dramatic enhancement of the stratospheric sulfate aerosol burden. Significant global cooling has been observed following the four major eruptions since 1900: Santa María, Mount Agung, El Chichón and Mt. Pinatubo, leading IPCC (2007) to state "major volcanic eruptions can, thus, cause a drop in global mean surface temperature of about half a degree Celsius that can last for months and even years". We use a multiple linear regression model applied to the global surface temperature anomaly to suggest that exchange of heat between the atmosphere and ocean, driven by variations in the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), has been a factor in the decline of global temperature following these eruptions. The veracity of this suggestion depends on whether sea surface temperature (SST) in the North Atlantic, sometimes called the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, but here referred to as Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV), truly represents a proxy for the strength of the AMOC. Also, precise quantification of global cooling due to volcanoes depends on how the AMV index is detrended. If the AMV index is detrended using anthropogenic radiative forcing of climate, we find that surface cooling attributed to Mt. Pinatubo, using the Hadley Centre/University of East Anglia surface temperature record, maximises at 0.14 °C globally and 0.32 °C over land. These values are about a factor of 2 less than found when the AMV index is neglected in the model and quite a bit lower than the canonical 0.5 °C cooling usually attributed to Pinatubo. This result is driven by the high amplitude, low frequency component of the AMV index, demonstrating that reduced impact of volcanic cooling upon consideration of the AMV index is driven by variations in North Atlantic SST that occur over time periods much longer than those commonly associated with major volcanic eruptions. The satellite record of atmospheric temperature from 1978 to present and other century-long surface temperature records are also consistent with the suggestion that volcanic cooling may have been over estimated by about a factor of 2 due to prior neglect of ocean circulation. Our study suggests a recalibration may be needed for the proper use of Mt.~Pinatubo as a proxy for geoengineering of climate. Finally, we highlight possible shortcomings in simulations of volcanic cooling by general circulation models, which are also being used to assess the impact of geoengineering of climate via stratospheric sulfate injection.

And Prof Rao noted that GCR's are responsible for 44% lower climate sensitivity also, in his 2011 paper. Prof Rao is a rather eminent scientist.
Take 38% and 44% off and the remaining climate sensitivity for CO2 is looking a whole lot like Lindzen's number.

Hmmm interesting - I hadn't seen that paper.
Take off another big chunk attributable to black carbon shown by another recent paper and what do we have left? Essentially nothing.

Watch: Out Diver Tom Daley Says He's 'Incredibly Proud To Be Gay' and an Olympic Gold Medalist
by Kilian Melloy
EDGE Staff Reporter
Originally published on July 26, 2021
Tom Daley, the British diver and husband of out American screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, offered inspiring words to the world's LGBTQ youth after winning his Olympic gold medal, declaring, "I feel incredibly proud to say that I am a gay man and also an Olympic champion."
Daley offered his comments to reporters after he and his diving partner, Matty Lee, took the gold medal July 26 in the men's synchronized 10-meter platform, British LGBTQ news site Pink News reported.
"While he stood on the winners' podium, an emotional Daley could be seen shedding a few tears as he was awarded his hard-earned medal alongside Lee," the site described.
Speaking to the press, Daley recalled his sense of otherness and alienation as a younger man growing up gay, recalling a period in which he felt "alone, and different, and didn't fit in," recounting: "I thought that I was never going to be anything or achieve anything because of who I was."
But now, sporting his gold medal, Daley said, "I hope that any young LGBT+ person out there can see that no matter how alone you feel right now, you are not alone and that you can achieve anything."
The out athlete added: "There is a whole lot of your chosen family out here ready to support you."
That's certainly the case at this year's Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, as Daley noted in his remarks, "There are more openly, out LGBT athletes at this Olympic Games than any other Olympic Games previously" — at least 131, Pink News noted.
The Guardian also recounted that "Daley and Lee had produced a stunning performance," taking "the gold medal by one point ahead of the supercharged Chinese pair Cao Yuan and Chen Aisen."
It was a long journey to the gold, but Daley had an early start; Wikipedia notes that, in his first Olympics in Beijing in 2008, Daley "was Britain's youngest competitor, age 14, and the youngest from any nation to participate in a final."
Daley took the bronze in individual competition in the 2012 Olympics, and then took the bronze for the men's synchronized 10-meter platform with Daniel Goodfellow. The Guardian recalled this as "a period that has coincided with marriage to the film producer Dustin Lance Black and the birth of their son, Robbie."
Daley went on to say how meaningful it was that his son had been able to see him "become Olympic champion, albeit on TV," just as Black had predicted would happen after he took the bronze in Rio.

Today we went to Camden Lock and explored the stable markets and ate food from Korea and Phillapines. We chilled out by the lock and watch the barges' go through the gates. It's quite interesting watching them go into the little compartment then wait for the water to drop to go through to the next part and sail on their way.
On the way home we found some cool street art and posed up a storm.
It's finally time to say goodbye to my cast. If all goes well at the hospital today and the xray's show my arm has healed up then the funny doctor can take my cast off and my arm will be free! I can't wait to write with my right hand even though I have learnt to use my left very well. I can't wait to eat with my right hand too… Mummy will be pleased too as using my right hand will mean I won't spill as much food down my tops so there will be less laundry for her to do.
Fingers crossed the next pic I post will be of my strong arm with no cast!
