Der 1500-Meter-Lauf der Frauen bei den Leichtathletik-Weltmeisterschaften 2017 wurde am 4., 5. und 7. August 2017 im Olympiastadion der britischen Hauptstadt London ausgetragen.

Es siegte die kenianische Vizeweltmeisterin von 2015 und aktuelle Olympiasiegerin Faith Kipyegon.
Wie schon bei den Weltmeisterschaften 2013 belegte die US-amerikanische Weltmeisterin von 2011 und Olympiadritte von 2016 Jenny Simpson den zweiten Platz.
Bronze ging an die südafrikanische Afrikameisterin von 2016 Caster Semenya, die ihre großen Erfolge als 800-Meter-Läuferin feiern durfte. Auf dieser Distanz war sie zweifache Olympiasiegerin (2012/2016), zweifache Weltmeisterin (2009/2011) und Afrikameisterin von 2016. Außerdem war sie 2016 auch Afrikameisterin mit der 4-mal-400-Meter-Staffel ihres Landes. Hier in London wurde sie über 800 Meter sechs Tage später zum dritten Mal Weltmeisterin.

7. August 2017, 21:50 Uhr Ortszeit (22:50 Uhr MESZ)

Eine eindeutige Favoritin gab es in diesem erlesenen Feld nicht. Zum engsten Kreis der Medaillenanwärterinnen gehörten die Olympiasiegerin von 2016 und Vizeweltmeisterin von 2015 Faith Kipyegon aus Kenia, die äthiopische Titelverteidigerin, Olympiazweite von 2016 und Weltrekordlerin Genzebe Dibaba, die US-Amerikanerin Jennifer Simpson als Olympiadritte von 2016 und Vizeweltmeisterin von 2013, die niederländische WM-Dritte von 2015, Europameisterin von 2014 und Vizeeuropameisterin von 2016 Sifan Hassan sowie die Südafrikanerin Caster Semenya, die vor allem als 800-Meter-Läuferin große Erfolge aufzuweisen hatte, hier in London bereits Weltmeisterin auf dieser Distanz.

Über eine lange Phase bestimmte die Britin Laura Muir das Tempo. Die erste Runde wurde mit 1:05,34 min noch ziemlich zügig absolviert, die zweite war mit 1:11,77 min allerdings deutlich langsamer. Auf den letzten vierhundert Metern wurde es dann wieder schneller. Schon der Abschnitt zwischen 800 und 1200 Metern war mit 1:01,82 min richtig temporeich. Dreihundert Meter vor dem Ziel zu Beginn der Gegengeraden führte Hassan, die ihre Chance mit einem langgezogenen Spurt suchte. Das Feld riss nun weit auseinander. Hassan lag auch zu Beginn der Zielgeraden noch an der Spitze. Ihr folgte Kipyegon. Muir kämpfte um den Anschluss an das Führungsduo, musste aber eine kleine Lücke zulassen. Mit zwei Metern Abstand zu ihr lag Simpson auf Platz vier vor der Schwedin Meraf Bahta, der allerdings jetzt die Kräfte ausgingen.

Nun kam die Attacke der Olympiasiegerin. Faith Kipyegon zog an Hassan vorbei und wurde mit deutlichem Vorsprung neue Weltmeisterin. Dahinter veränderte sich noch einmal alles. Jenny Simpson zog innen an der nachlassenden Hassan vorbei und errang die Silbermedaille. Von weiter hinten erspurtete die 800-Meter-Weltmeisterin Caster Semenya mit Bronze auch auf der längeren Distanz eine Medaille. Sifan Hassans Tempoarbeit auf den letzten dreihundert Metern wurde nicht belohnt, um 37 Hundertstelsekunden geschlagen belegte sie am Ende Rang fünf hinter Laura Muir, die mit nur sieben Hundertstelsekunden Rückstand auf Semenya Vierte wurde. Laura Weightman, ebenfalls aus Großbritannien kam auf den sechsten Platz vor der amtierenden Europameisterin Angelika Cichocka aus Polen und der Marokkanerin Rababe Arafi.

Beefjack Has Slow News Day, Interviews Me
Not about anything particular, you understand, but in more of a desert island discs kind of a way. I talk about The Hunt For Red October on Gameboy, and the most embarrassing moments of my career. Also features a photo of me either getting over-excited about dialogue systems, or coming down from a 24 hour rave - I don't recall.
It's over there.

Max Payne 3: Worth Writing Home About?
Bias Disclaimer: This is very much written by someone who played and loved Remedy's original games. Max Payne 3 isn't a bad game, but it's not quite the Max Payne 3 I wanted.
Max Payne shares a lot of similarities with Die Hard's John McClane. Like Brucie's signature role, Max was a fresh take on an old genre, and like McLane Max loses his hair as he chalks up more victories. Sadly they also both forget who they are in their later instalments, their new directors instead adopting a kind of generic modernism that does few favours for their aging heroes.
First, though, what has Rockstar gotten right? A great deal, for sure. In terms of gameplay, they've fairly precisely captured the first two games. This is still Max Payne as far as shooting stuff very slowly goes. If anything, in fact, I'd argue they've been too thorough - but more on that later.
More important, for me, is how Rockstar have developed and delivered a new take on Max's storytelling. The exchange of New York for São Paulo is a success. I'm not so staunch in my traditionalism that I'd want to say you can't do noir outside of American cities, and the unlikely pairing of a bald, bearded Max donning his Hawaiian shirt for the first time with the vibrancy and filth of the favellas is one that feels apt for a character who gets his kicks from being alone against the world. Sadly the on-screen buzz of this new Max is short-lived: the game never really never really changes, Max never really seems to hit rock bottom or kick into gear, and it's quickly clear this will be a long, single-note shoot fest.
Rockstar haven't done a bad job of filling the gaps with something interesting, but they have not filled them with Max Payne - or at least, not in his best light. The new approach eliminates the comic book panes of Remedy's originals in favour of long cut-scenes, constantly overlayed with what are presumably alcohol-induced visual distortions and glares which I suppose accurately depict alcoholism in so far as they made me feel sick and annoyed. This more immediate presentation is used to create a gritter, more real urban environment and protagonist, and Max has some fantastically dry, self-loathing bad-assery to deliver - but little else. He takes his own failures so much in his stride that it's hard to really feel like he cares about anything. Perhaps that's realistic, but it's not interesting - in fact it gets quite boring after a while. You never really see Max hurt, so he has nothing to come back on, no stake to invest.
The other characters, as well as the central plot thread, lack the personality and personal importance of the originals'. No one stands out like Vladimir Lem or Mona Sax (the women here are all gunfire-drawing airheads), and Max isn't out for revenge on the people who killed his loved ones or destroyed his life - he's doing a job because he's got nothing better to do. It's just so hard for anyone involved to care.
Salt to the wound is that the focus on cinematic realism necessarily winds in the oddball side that was so central before. Who doesn't remember the Pink Flamingo Theme Park, or the self-referential Dick Justice serial about a cop who takes revenge on his wife's (Sharon Justice's), killers? These were bits of narrative design that made Max Payne not just another shooter for me; but they were also a nod from the developers to say that they knew Max was a bad joke, and it was that that prevented the game itself from being one.
Perhaps what most surprises me about Rockstar's Max, though, are some features that feel glaringly early-noughties. A joy of Max Payne has always been the almost pornographic level of detail applied to the weapons and firing animations. Here that same detail is applied, but little seems to have been improved outside of polygon counts. When killed, enemies' hats and helmets fly off as if the final bullet has severed an invisible chin strap. GTA's dynamic Euphoria animation system produces odd results when examined up close. Rounds fired often look larger than the gun barrel they came from. Bullet wounds look like crap - you can usually still see the clothing texture beneath them - and visual damage to Max remains even after healing, meaning Max saunters into cutscenes sporting slews of open chest wounds. Bullet cams are uninspired. The bosses are horrible (you kill one by dropping roof tiles on his head).
It's difficult to forget that games have moved on since 2003, and combat in Max feels far simpler fare than something genuinely contemporary like Arkham Asylum The Darkness 2. The damning conclusion is that at times Max Payne 3 feels a bit like GTA with less driving and more bullet time, and that these days that's not quite enough.

Project Announcement: FTL
This is a great announcement to be able to make. For the past 6 weeks I've been working on FTL - the bridge combat roguealike that's charming everyone. Let me tell you a bit about how I got involved, and what I'm doing.
I first read about FTL some six months ago in PC Gamer, tore out the page to remind me to look it up, and then forgot all about it. Then I played the limited time onlive demo and was blown away (apparently it was the most played game on the service during that period). FTL captures all the good stuff: the ordering crew on suicide missions to fix vital components, the MORE POWER TO ENGINES and the transporter catastrophes. It also tells a randomly generated tale drawn from a vast library of pre-scripted events with different options and outcomes. In short, I wanted me some of that, so I got in touch.
Around the same time Justin and Matthew were making headlines for netting a cool $200,000 from a $10,000 kickstarter campaign, and were in the process of expanding the game's scope and hiring a writer.
The new hangar screen, and the Federation Cruiser.
Working on FTL has been fantastic, mostly because I'm already so sold on the game and the guys' ability to pull it off. I've been developing the alien species (like the rockmen you see in the header image) and we must have doubled the number of events since the demo (which - I feel bad about this - are being pain-stakingly hand-coded into the game by Justin). The aim is to make each sector in the game feel special, with hidden paths and unique events for replayability. We want players to keep on exploring the galaxy long after they defeat the big boss because it's just such an interesting place to visit.
All this being said, the reins are very much with the chaps: they seem to know what they want, and I'm trusting that their top-level view is sound, because I don't have much of one.
Here I've managed to beam two of the deadliest aliens - a Rockman and a Mantis - onto the enemy ship. Then it catches fire and I have to race to bring them back home before it blows.
As much as anything else it's been fantastic to get right back into a decent indie project. I've had a couple of cancelled AAAs over the past few years which is always a bummer, and while I've been involved in a number of other indie things - on Cargo! A Quest For Gravity and my own ir/rational - it's been nothing big enough to compare to working on Penumbra: Overture some six years ago. With FTL we have limited resources, a tough schedule, and thousands upon thousands of words to write. It's great to know they'll be going toward a good end.
The beta for kickstarter donators (why aren't they called donars, incidentally?) is right around the corner, and you can keep up with development at the project blog. FTL should be out in a matter of months.

You arrive at the beacon; the shattered hull of an alien ship floats peacefully in the shifting tides of a nearby asteroid field, being drawn inexorably toward the sun at the heart of the system. Nothing else happens.
Then, a distant blip on the scanners that keeps on expanding. It grows closer, larger, until it has enveloped the entire system. The ship is rocked by a shockwave, but the shields hold. You check your star charts - everything has changed. Your journey has become longer and harder, carrying you through uncharted systems and alien empires you've never set eyes on before.
You power the jump drive. This is going to be fun.

Tom Jubert
'Plot is Gameplay's Bitch' is the blog of freelance narrative designer, Tom Jubert, best known for his work on Subnautica, the Penumbra series, Driver: San Francisco, FTL, The Swapper and The Talos Principle.
The quote this blog is named after sums up both the best and worst of video games' approach to story telling. On the one hand, writing is overlooked too often. On the other, we're crafting interactive experiences, and nothing about that necessitates plot. Or even words.
Rest assured, this is the first and last time Tom will ever talk about himself in the third person - it confuses the hell out of him. Me. Whatever.

Producer Maria Lorenzana has extensive Film and Television experience as a sought-after Costume Designer and Supervisor. Born in Guatemala and raised in Chicago, she was exposed to many influences in her formative years. At a very early age she became immersed in fashion as an art form. Surrounded by family and friends who were musicians, painters, writers and textile makers, all these influences were threads woven into the tapestry that is her creative persona. After a period of exploration and many diverse career choices, Maria finally returned to her original love. Earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion at Columbia College Chicago, (where she eventually spent some time giving back as an Adjunct Professor), she dove headfirst into costume design and eventually found herself working unceasingly in film and television. he has worked on productions starring Adam Sandler, Al Pacino, Sandra Bullock, Kevin Nealon, Keanu Reeves, Bryan Cranston, Billy Bob Thornton, William Hurt, Maria Bello, along with many other notable talents.
Over several years, Maria has transitioned into a new position for which all her talents and skills are best exploited, that of Producer. Starting with videos for music luminaries such as Angus and Julia Stone and Mark Cote, as well commercials for Disney's Digital Short Content division. She further cultivated her role as producer as she has moved into narrative film over the last couple of years, both short subject and feature length. Most recently Maria served as Production Manager on Protocol Entertainment's "Havenhurst". She is presently in the development stages on a feature entitled "Devil's Answer", as well as "First Responders" and "These Eyes". The short films "Welcome to Forever" and "Cuckold Picasso", both award winners, are among her most recent projects. "Avus" is her first foray into writing and directing.


The first Halls Medal was awarded in 1964. Prior to that, Woollacott Medals were awarded.
As the women wanted a separate medal acknowledging women's basketball, a sponsor was sought. Halls, manufacturers of soft drinks agreed to sponsor the award. Henceforth, the Halls Medal was awarded to winners of the Best and Fairest player in the District Women's competition.
Like the Woollacott Medal, it was upgraded to the Fairest and most Brilliant player in the early 1970s.
In 1999 for the first time the medal was awarded to the ABA central Conference's Most Valuable Player. The votes are caste by referees post-game on a 3, 2, 1 basis. In 1981 and 1996, the competition experimented with coaches voting, before reverting to the original format.
Following is a list of past winners.


Giving students 24/7 access to learning materials can dramatically improve education outcomes as proven in 40+ pilot projects.

A young woman led cops on a high-speed chase through New Jersey and The Bronx last night with 2-year-old child in the back seat, officials said.
The chase began in Paramus on Route 17 just after 8 p.m. when the driver, wanted for a drug violation, sped off, and over the George Washington Bridge, after being stopped, cops said.
She was nabbed after hitting a Port Authority police car at Mt. Eden and Walton avenues in The Bronx. The child was not hurt. Charges were pending.


O.C.E. Technology (www.ocetechnology.com) today announced an agreement with Shanghai Aerospace Technology Control Institute (SACTI) to supply satellite subsystems into international markets.
The company made the announcement at the NovaUCD innovation awards ceremony, where it won the company achievement of the year.
The agreement with SACTI is in line with China's new "Silk Road Initiative" put forward by President Xi Jinping. The initiative promotes cooperation between Chinese and international industry and is reported to be the Chinese project of the century with $8 trillion investment planned for its activities.
The O.C.E. Technology subsystems are derived from those in use in the Chinese space programme and have been operational on Chinese satellites over the past 20 years. The company is currently working with customers in Europe and South Korea to customise these products for the fast growing commercial satellite market.
The company's new subsystems can be used to bring a satellite into a desired orientation in space and to a desired spin rate. This latest agreement is a logical cooperation as SACTI are already using high-reliability components as a critical part of its subsystems design.
During the 2018 Paris Space Week visit O.C.E. Technology, an Enterprise Ireland client company, and its European Distributor, Dimac RED, to learn more about the company's latest range of software and hardware products.

Liverpool's Luis Garcia and West Ham's Hayden Mullins are set to miss the FA Cup final after being sent off in Wednesday's dress rehearsal.
Garcia appeared to aim an elbow in Mullins' back before going to ground after a shove by his rival as they jostled for the ball after 82 minutes.
Earlier, Cisse had powered in an angled 20-yard drive to put the Reds ahead.
West Ham responded when Nigel Reo-Coker tapped in before Cisse squirmed a shot home to earn the visitors a win.
West Ham were playing their first home game since the death of former manager John Lyall and there was a period of applause before the game got underway.
Striker Bobby Zamora had an early chance to give the Hammers the lead when he latched on to Yossi Benayoun's angled ball only to take too long over his shot and see it blocked.
Cisse had a powerful effort shot parried and gathered by keeper James Walker at the other end in what proved a warning the home side failed to heed.
Reds midfielder Momo Sissoko produced a powerful run from midfield and found Cisse, playing in the left midfield slot, and the Frenchman unleashed a low strike past Walker at his near post.
Robbie Fowler chipped against the crossbar while Cisse had another long-range effort as the visitors threatened to extend their lead.
But the Hammers ended the half strongly and almost levelled when Teddy Sheringham headed agonisingly wide from Anton Ferdinand's right-wing cross.
An unmarked Benayoun could not control a bouncing cross for Zamora and headed over at the far post just before the break before the home side equalised the other side of the interval.
Zamora played a neat one-two with the astute Sheringham before crossing for Reo-Coker to tap in from six yards.
The match was a more open and entertaining contest as both sides showed an attacking mentality and Fernando Morientes flicked a volley on to crossbar for Liverpool.
Cisse put the Reds back in front again when he raced on to Fowler's through ball to squirm a shot through the legs of Walker.
Matthew Etherington had an effort well-saved by Reds keeper Jerzy Dudek and Fowler nodded just wide as the two teams traded chances.
But then Mullins and substitute Garcia were both sent off for violent conduct and, with the offence carrying a three-match ban, they are set to miss the Cardiff showpiece between the two teams.
"I think everybody in the whole stadium was hoping the referee would not brandish the red cards but, unfortunately, he did.
"It would be good for the FA to show a bit of clemency and let the players play in the FA Cup final.
"The fact we play each other makes it an even decision for me."
"We will see if we can appeal because both players apologised to each other and the referee.
"I think that the referee understands the situation. He will watch the video again and if he sees something different he will put it in his report.
"In this case, with the two teams playing in the final maybe someone can be sensible."
West Ham: Walker, Scaloni, Ferdinand, Collins (Fletcher 45), Ward, Etherington, Benayoun (Harewood 77), Mullins, Reo-Coker, Zamora, Sheringham.
Subs Not Used: Hislop, Ephraim, Reid.
Liverpool: Dudek, Finnan (Hyypia 63), Carragher, Kromkamp, Traore, Cisse, Hamann, Sissoko, Warnock, Fowler (Luis Garcia 80), Morientes (Riise 85).
Subs Not Used: Reina, Alonso.

Q: Structure of a trie for a word with subwords What will be the structure of a trie for words which have subwords like "icecream" (contains 'i', 'ice', 'cream', 'icecream'); "businessman" (contains 'bus', 'is', 'business', 'man', 'businessman').
I know how will it be for those which do not have subwords like "inn" but I am confused for the above words.
Thanks in advance.

A: You can just have a boolean 'isTerminal' in your trie node to indicate whether a word terminates at that node.
So all the words 'bus', 'business' and 'businessman' will start with the node 'b' and be along the same path. The nodes at 's' for 'bus', 's' for 'business' and 'n' for 'businessman' will have isTerminal = true.
Although 'man' is contained in 'businessman', it should be treated as word starting from the 'm' child node from root and on a separate path.
Therefore all words start strictly from the top letter nodes (children of root) and terminate at different levels indicated by the boolean isTerminal=true.

Hacking Notes
The Adventures of Bayou Billy is one of the most notorious NES games for being almost impossible to beat. As such the game can be considered broken and/or not enjoyable. What's more interesting is that the Japanese version of the game, Mad City, is much much easier and such can be considered a balanced and fun game to play. Why Konami? Why?
Anyhow, the game is a blatant rip-off of Crocodile Dundee and a combination of many different sub-genres of action games. You've got your standard Final Fight like beat 'em up, your action driving game and a light gun SHMUP. It's got a lot of variety.

Produced in partnership with Capture Festival, Richmond Public Art Program and City of Richmond.
The Solarium (H+A) (2019) uses a system of custom-made mirrors and metal armatures to augment and interrupt the usual experience of photographic portraiture. The mirrors reveal alternative angles within the frame as well as objects outside of the frame while simultaneously blocking areas that would normally be visible. Shot in the Richmond home of the couple pictured, The Solarium (H+A) is a continuation of Adad Hannah's interest in the history, mechanics, and technology of photography, highlighting the veracity and performativity within the photographic image.
For over a decade, Hannah has been exploring historically trenchant themes through elaborate bodies of work that include installation, video, and photography. Inspired by the historical practice of tableaux vivants (translated as "living pictures"), Hannah's work invokes the durational form of early cinema while referencing the history of photography, often through reinterpretations of art historical moments.

The way in which the testator bequeathed lands usually determined the eldest son to the youngest. Old English Law dictated that the eldest son was the heir of all the titles and estates. The traditioned continued on the American soil, but this time bequeathing the eldest son the homeplace and best lands. This is noticeable by the amount of acreage given. It is reasonable to assume that the person who received the least amount, was the youngest son. This thought is helpful when trying to ascertain why some of the sons moved on, so to speak. The name of the game was rich soil upon which to establish fertile crops. During the early 1700s in Virginia people were moving away from the family estates, and the reason is that they were receiving land grants to go West and settle untamed mountainous regions. Thus, the genealogist should do some historical research into that era, particularly military records, to learn what was happening concerning Indian relations and wars. Should you be researching during an early time and locate the wills and estates of all the children except one or two, then the next question should be "where were they?" This thought also applies to marriage records. If they did not marry in the home county, then where were did they go? Naturally, it is important to read all of the old wills and estates of everyone in the family (in that county) because the answer might be found in one of those documents. In other words, one should become as familiar with the ancestral families as he is his own in modern times.

Former NSA Subcontractor, Kyle Duran Smego, Pleads Guilty To Submitting False Claims For Hours Worked On Government Contracts
Caused NSA to Overpay More than $220,000
Baltimore, MD (STL.News) – Kyle Duran Smego, age 40, of Raleigh, North Carolina, pleaded guilty on July 2, 2019, to submitting false claims to the United States, specifically for inflating the number of hours he claimed to have worked on two government contracts.
The guilty plea was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Robert K. Hur and Robert P. Storch, Inspector General of the National Security Agency.
The National Security Agency (NSA) is a component of the United States Department of Defense. During the period from February 2016 to present, the NSA had two ongoing contracts with an outside company (Contractor A). Each of these contracts required Contractor A to supply information technology (IT) services to the NSA. Contractor A subcontracted with Subcontractors 1 and 2, respectively, to provide software engineers and developers needed to carry out its obligations under each contract.
According to his plea agreement, from February 2016 through May 2018, Kyle Duran Smego was successively employed on a full-time basis by Subcontractors 1 and 2 to work as a software engineer/front end developer on the two separate contracts held by Contractor A. Because the subject matter of these contracts involved classified information, all of the work had to be performed at secure, access-controlled locations. Smego was therefore required to be physically present at his assigned duty locations to do his work.
Between February 2016 and November 2017, Smego reported to Subcontractor 1 that he had worked 3,289 hours on their contract. Between November 2017 and May 2018, Smego reported to Subcontractor 2 that he had worked 797.5 hours on their contract. A subsequent review by the NSA of key card and timecard information demonstrated that Smego was not actually present at his assigned duty stations for at least 1,326 of the 3,289 hours he had reported to Subcontractor 1 (40.3%) and 375 of the 797.5 hours he had reported to Subcontractor 2 (47%). In addition to overstating the number of hours he had worked, the time-sheets that Smego submitted to Subcontractors 1 and 2 included entries for 119 separate days in which Smego represented that he had worked an average of 8 hours when, in fact, he had not worked at all on those days.
All of the hours that were falsely reported by Smego were subsequently billed by the subcontractors to Contractor A, and were in turn billed by Contractor A to, and paid by, NSA. Based upon the false billing records submitted by Smego, the NSA overpaid a total of $220,379.42 to Contractor A. Contractor A, in turn, paid most of those funds over to Subcontractors 1 and 2, who ultimately paid Smego $115,110 for work he had not performed.
As part of his plea agreement, Smego will be required to pay restitution and to forfeit any assets derived from or traceable to the offense.
Smego faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison. U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett has scheduled sentencing for October 3, 2019 at 3:00 p.m.

World|Twitter Musings in Syria Elicit Groans in Washington
Twitter Musings in Syria Elicit Groans in Washington
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton praised two State Department employees for their efforts at "21st-century statecraft." Credit...Luke Sharrett/The New York Times
By Mark Landler
WASHINGTON — When two young State Department officials took a delegation of Silicon Valley executives to Syria recently, they billed it as a chance to use the promise of technology to reach out to a country with which the United States has long had icy relations.
Instead, the visit will be remembered for a series of breezy Twitter messages that the two colleagues sent home, riffing about how visitors can buy an American-style blended iced coffee at a university near Damascus and how one of them had challenged a Syrian communications minister to a cake-eating contest.
The messages raised hackles on Capitol Hill, where some Republicans were already leery of the Obama administration's efforts to engage Syria. They also embarrassed the State Department, which normally conducts its dealings with Damascus behind a veil of diplomatic politesse.
The two staff members, Alec J. Ross and Jared Cohen, were rapped on the knuckles for generating what two State Department officials called "stray voltage." Yet despite the youthful indiscretion, their broader goal of using technology to further diplomacy enjoys enthusiastic support from the highest levels of the department, notably Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
"We have a great team of really dedicated young people — primarily young people — who care deeply about connecting people up," Mrs. Clinton said last week to a Russian audience during a visit here by President Dmitri A. Medvedev. "And I'm very proud of the work they're doing." She singled out Mr. Cohen, 28, and Mr. Ross, 38, saying they symbolize the drive to create "21st-century statecraft."
They are the most visible of a small band of new-media evangelists who are trying to push a pinstriped bureaucracy into the digital age — some on leave from jobs in Silicon Valley, some from nonprofit organizations and some, like Mr. Cohen, barely out of graduate school.
Mr. Cohen and Mr. Ross were chagrined that the Twitter messages distracted from what they thought was a meaty trip. Their delegation, which included representatives from Microsoft, Dell, Cisco Systems and other companies, met with Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad, and other senior officials, as well as younger entrepreneurs who are bucking their country's tight control of the Internet.
Syria is still classified by the United States as a state sponsor of terrorism and is subject to sanctions. But under a waiver passed in 2004 by the Bush administration, American companies can export some software and hardware to Syria, though in practice, few take advantage of it.
The delegation told Mr. Assad that companies would invest more in Syria if it stopped blocking social media Web sites like Facebook and YouTube, and did a better job of protecting intellectual property.
"What the companies did was to paint a picture of what Syria could have: how they would invest, what they would invest in, how it could potentially grow," Mr. Cohen said in an interview.
While the Syrians promoted a new law that would make it harder to block Web sites, the Americans are under no illusions. "We're not naïve, and we're not utopians," Mr. Ross said. "We understand that progress in Syria and in that region of the world is incremental at best."
Before Syria, Mr. Cohen and Mr. Ross led technology delegations to Russia, Mexico and Iraq. The visits yielded some results: in Mexico, Americans helped develop a network that enables people to report drug-related crimes on their cellphones; in Baghdad, Google undertook a project to make digital copies of 14,000 artifacts in Iraq's National Museum.
Along the way, the two sent Twitter messages tirelessly, becoming cybercelebrities. Mr. Ross, who was a technology adviser to the Obama presidential campaign, has about 287,000 followers on Twitter; Mr. Cohen, who has written books about jihad and genocide, has 305,000 followers.
Mr. Cohen first came to wider attention last year when he asked Twitter to delay plans to take its network down for maintenance because Iranians were using it to publicize antigovernment demonstrations.
Their pithy musings raised no objections until they did it from Syria, a country that has not had an American ambassador since the last one was recalled in 2005. President Obama has made cautious overtures to Damascus, appointing a new envoy, Robert S. Ford. But several senators have put a hold on his confirmation, saying that engagement is naïve.
In that context, Mr. Cohen's June 16 Twitter message, typos and all — "I'm not kidding when I say I just had the greatest frappacino ever at Kalamoun University north of Damascus" — seemed off key, officials said, as did Mr. Ross's report about Mr. Cohen's proposed cake-eating contest (he called it "creative diplomacy"). The messages caught the State Department's attention after they were posted by Josh Rogin of The Cable, a blog on the Web site of Foreign Policy magazine.
Twitter communiqués aside, experts said the trip was a worthwhile exercise. Martin S. Indyk, a longtime Middle East peace negotiator, said it was a way to encourage Syria "to see the light at the end of the tunnel and engage their high-tech sector of young, middle-class business people, which presumably will support peace with Israel and stronger relations with the U.S."
It is less clear what the companies got out of it. Microsoft and Cisco declined to discuss the trip, beyond issuing statements saying they abide by export restrictions. A spokeswoman for Dell said its executive on the delegation was traveling and unavailable for comment.
Syrian officials seemed satisfied, though Syria's ambassador to the United States, Imad Moustapha, said he wished the visit had been strictly a business-to-business exchange. "These two gentlemen wanted to discuss politics," he said. "We did not want to discuss the sanctions."
In the end, the trip may prove most useful as a lesson in the risks of using social media as a tool for diplomacy. The State Department assigned one of Mr. Ross's staff members to film Web videos and send Twitter messages about Mrs. Clinton's recent trip to China, and the department's spokesman, Philip J. Crowley, uses Twitter daily to report on Mrs. Clinton's activities.
But Mr. Crowley said he was careful to get the tone right. "I'm not going to tell everyone what I had for lunch," he said. "Ever."

Worth Township clerk resigns because of illness
Tony Wittkowski
WORTH TWP. –
The Worth Township clerk who hasn't worked for nearly a year resigned Tuesday.
Robin Milewski sent a letter of resignation to the Worth Township Board of Trustees stating she could no longer complete duties as township clerk due to her medical treatments.
Milewski suffered a heart attack and was also diagnosed with cancer. Milewski told the board her cancer is in remission, but she has not received a timeframe for recovery.
"The cancer and radiation treatments have left me with significant bone damage to six vertebrae, and four of my ribs are missing pieces," Milewski said in her letter, "therefore leaving me unable to use my right arm for typing, writing, lifting and control."
In her letter, Milewski said her choices changed each week, making it difficult to determine any plans to return to work.
"I truly thought I would be able to return to work, but this month my team of doctors determined my recovery will be lengthy with no guarantees of how long it will take," Milewski said. "…it has been very difficult this week to accept that I will never be able to work again."
Township Supervisor Phil Essenmacher said the Worth Township Board of Trustees will hold a special meeting Thursday at city hall to officially accept Milewski's resignation and to discuss finding a replacement.
The board began looking at possible candidates Tuesday and has 45 days to fill the clerk's position once it becomes vacant, Essenmacher said.
Whoever is appointed as Milewski's replacement will remain in office until the current term expires in November 2016.
Steven Jones, deputy clerk, has been fulfilling the township clerk's duties since March.
Milewski was making $18,000 a year as township clerk.
"We're looking forward to having a full-time clerk position being filled," Essenmacher said. "While we feel for her, we need to get the township back on course. It's quite a financial burden on the township to pay for two clerks."
Essenmacher said she hasn't been to the office since March 16 after going on medical leave.
The board's only contact with Milewski has been through letters sent in March and August.
The board sent a petition to Gov. Rick Snyder asking that Milewski be removed from office based on willful neglect in October.
Greg Stremers, the township's lawyer, is in the process of contacting the Attorney General's Office to inform them the petition is no longer needed.
Essenmacher said the decision to remove Milewski was because she had not fulfilled her duties as clerk, not because she was on medical leave.
Essenmacher said the township has had problems with Milewski in the past, citing alleged problems with tracking township funds and voter materials.
The township received shutoff notices from DTE Energy in February and March of 2014 because the clerk didn't pay the township's energy bill on time. Essenmacher said the township also discovered unprocessed voter master cards and voter ID cards that never were mailed dating from 2012.
Milewski addressed those issues in her resignation letter.
"The massive heart attack affected some of my cognitive skills," she said. "That is why I was making mistakes in my work, and I wrote it off as stress."
Milewski took office in June 2011. She was appointed clerk after voters recalled Marcella Bartniczak in May 2011.
Milewski could not be reached for comment.

Daily press & media panorama with maritime thematic
First map of marine structures shows how much we've modified the oceans
Through structures like oil rigs, humans have made a big imprint on the world's oceans
Iurii/Depositphotos
From NewAtlas by Nick Lavars
With our long history of altering the environment through manmade structures, we humans sure have made our mark on the Earth in our relatively short time here.
Scientists in Australia have turned their attention to what this perpetual development means for the world's marine environments, calculating the extent of our construction footprint on the oceans for the first time ever.
The research was carried out at Australia's University of Sydney and the Sydney Institute of Marine Science, with the team collating data on marine-built structures of all kinds.
These include oil rigs, wind farms, the length of telecommunication cables, commercial ports, bridges and tunnels, artificial reefs and aquaculture farms, with the data painstakingly sourced from the individual sectors of these different industries.
The result is what the scientists call the first map of human development in the world's oceans, revealing how much of the marine environment had been altered by our activity.
According to the team, a total of around 30,000 sq km (11,600 sq mi) has been modified by human construction, which amounts to 0.008 percent of the entire ocean.
But as lead author Dr Ana Bugnot explains, the effects are a lot more far-reaching than that.
"The effects of built structures extend beyond their direct physical footprint," she tells New Atlas.
"Marine construction can modify surrounding environments by changing ecological and sediment characteristics, water quality and hydrodynamics, as well as noise and electromagnetic fields."
Scientists have pieced together the first global map of marine construction
Bugnot et al., 'Current and projected global extent of marine built structures', Nature Sustainability
Dr Bugnot and her team drew on existing data and research to quantify the impact of these types of flow-on effects, and found that the footprint of these structures is actually two million square kilometers (770,200 sq mi), more than 0.5 percent of the ocean as a whole.
Among the more surprising revelations from the analysis were that 40 percent of the physical footprint of all structures can be attributed to aquaculture farms in China, and that noise pollution can carry up to 20 km (12 mi) from commercial ports.
While evidence of manmade alterations to the oceans dates back thousands of years, to the early construction of ports and breakwaters to protect low-lying coasts, the phenomenon began to accelerate around the mid-point of the 20th century, according to the team.
This construction mostly takes place in coastal areas, and to better understand this trend the team cast an eye to the future, assessing data on planned projects and assuming a business-as-usual approach.
"The numbers are alarming," Dr Bugnot says.
"For example, infrastructure for power and aquaculture, including cables and tunnels, is projected to increase by 50 to 70 percent by 2028.
Yet this is an underestimate: there is a dearth of information on ocean development, due to poor regulation of this in many parts of the world."
The team hopes the study can draw attention to the importance of conserving marine environments, and that the findings can provide a starting point for further investigation and tools to track of these types of ocean construction projects on an ongoing basis.
"The estimates of marine construction obtained are substantial and serve to highlight the urgent concern and need for the management of marine environments," says Dr Bugnot.
"We hope these estimates will trigger national and international initiatives and boost global efforts for integrated marine spatial planning.
To achieve this, it is important to rump up efforts for detailed mapping of historical and existing marine habitats and ocean construction."

Nintendo provided a bevy of new details on Fire Emblem: Three Houses during today's Nintendo Direct. Amongst these details was the news that fans will have to wait a little longer than expected to enjoy the new entry in the franchise, as Nintendo has pushed the game's release date back.
Initially promised for a spring launch, Fire Emblem: Three Houses is now set for release on July 26. Nintendo indicated that the title is being delayed in order to polish it.
Additionally, the company used the presentation to offer further details on the game. While no concrete information was provided about the overarching story, it is now known that players will choose their avatar character and begin life as a mercenary in their father's mercenary group. As the story unfolds, players will find themselves acting as a professor at the Garreg Mach Monastery, a center for religion, combat, and education.
From there, players will choose one of three heroes to teach, each representing a specific house at the school and, by extension, one of the nation's major powers. They are Edelgard of the Adrestian Empire and Black Eagles House; the Blue Lions House leader, and prince of Faerghus, Dimitri; and Claude from Leicester Alliance and Golden Deer House.
The professor will also take other students under their tutelage, traveling throughout the land of Fodlan to fight bandits, suppress rebellions, and, sometimes, work alongside the Seiros Knights, a branch of the Church of Seiros. Part of this process will involve training each student in their use of weapons and magic, plus skills like horsemanship.
It isn't clear whether units will be tied to specific weapons, as in previous Fire Emblem games, or if they can switch between them. However, training, studying, and passing exams will serve to boost proficiency and experience, and students will form bonds with one another, and their professor, through various skit-like events. These bonds will help boost combat power, though what other purpose they serve is yet to be revealed.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses will also be available as a special edition, titled the "Seasons of Warfare Edition." This will include a steel book case, calendar, art book, and soundtrack featuring selections from the game.

FIA World Rally ChampionshipOff Road
Latvala And Hirvonen Aiming For Glory On Focus Farewell
This weekend's Wales Rally GB will be the final World Rally Championship event for the Ford Focus RS WRC, marking the end of its 12-year career. BP Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team drivers Jari-Matti Latvala and Mikko Hirvonen will be aiming to give the car its 45th and final WRC victory.
As well as going for the rally win, Latvala will be aiming to take second place in the drivers' standings, attempting to beat the Citroens of Sebasiten Ogier and Petter Solberg in the process. Latvala currently lies in third, 11 points behind Ogier and five ahead of Solberg. Latvala has been driving Focus RS WRCs on the event since 2003, when he was aged just 18. He has competed in Wales more times than on Rally Finland, with a best finish of second in 2008 from his eight starts so far.
He said: "At the start of the season I privately set a target to finish in the top three of the championship. I'm third and have a chance to take second, so I need a strong result in Wales. I started my career in Britain and my first world rally was here, so Rally GB is like a second home event for me.
Latvala is aware of the part that the weather conditions can play on the Welsh stages. "Conditions during the last three years were extreme with heavy rain in 2007 and 2009 and ice in 2008 that caused much of the opening leg to be cancelled," he said. "Ice is the worst. It can lurk on the surface under the trees, and if the car hits a patch of ice all a driver can do is hope the grip returns before it slides off the road. Confidence is important. When you start to be afraid of the weather and hesitate, you lose a lot of time. You need to be brave and put your trust in the pace notes."
Hirvonen meanwhile lies sixth in the standings after a disappointing season. He will be looking to end it on a high note though by adding to his Rally GB victory from 2007. He said: "To end the car's career with a win and take the final victory of the World Rally Car era would be fantastic. The problem is that every driver has the same thought! The championship titles are settled and so everyone can drive for victory. Even those contesting second and third in the drivers' points will have to drive hard, so I expect a good battle.
Hirvonen echoed his teammate's comments about the weather. "The weather can make this a tricky rally," he said, "and it could be even more so this year with a long asphalt section on Epynt. If it's wet and muddy that road could be treacherous. The early cars will drag dirt onto the surface and make it even more slippery for those behind. In fact the driver that is first in the start order will do his best to pull as much gravel and mud onto the asphalt as he can. But the grip level is always inconsistent in Britain at this time of the year. It's another challenge."
Abu Dhabi's Khalid Al Qassimi will drive the team's third car for his third Rally GB start, even though the focus of his nation may be elsewhere over the weekend. "This weekend will be the biggest few days of motorsport ever for Abu Dhabi," he said. "Not only will I be competing in Wales, but the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be taking place over the same weekend. All Emirati eyes will be on the Welsh gravel and the Abu Dhabi tarmac and I am hoping for another strong performance. We go to Wales in high spirits after a great performance in Spain, and I hope to end the season with another strong performance and more points."

CtrlAltDel

        A simple utility to add/manipulate/delete objects in a frame.
        Requires jQuery.

Demo

        Add an element, move it around, remove it.

        <input type="button" value="Set/Move Box 1" id="box1move">
        <input type="button" value="Remove Box 1" id="box1remove">

Usage

        Create a DIV and initialize a CtrlAltDel object.
        Make sure the DIV is is not position:static.

<div id="screen"></div>
<script>
  var $target = $('#screen'),
      screen = new SEQ.CtrlAltDel( $target );
</script>

        Issue a command to add/modify an object. Make sure the "id"
        is unique—this is what will be used to see if an element
        is created or just updated.

        If the "bubble" does not exist then a DIV will be added to
        $target ided "bubble" with inner HTML html,
        CSS classes classes, and css.

<script>
  var $element_updated = screen.set('bubble', {
    classes: 'soapy floaty',
    html: 'Some <b>html',
    css: {
      top: 10,
      left: 10,
      backgroundColor: 'red'
    }
  });
</script>

        Updating this ID means just setting the CSS. The HTML will
        only be updated if it is different than it was last time.

        Getting rid of the element is super easy. Just use remove:

<script>
  screen.remove({
    id: 'bubble'
  });
</script>

        Have fun!

I08 Law of the Journey (Prototype A) / Odyssey
Reinforced PVC, 380 x 1640 x 560 cm, 2016 / Wallpaper, approximately 171 sqm, 2015
<< Back to Installations
(b. 1957, Beijing)

In the public space at Taipei Dangdai, Taiwanese collectors will have an opportunity to view a major installation by Ai Weiwei. The rectangular space covered with Odyssey wallpaper (2015) provides an unforgettable background to Law of the Journey, a prototype developed in 2016 for a larger installation exhibited at the National Gallery in Prague in 2017.
In Ai Weiwei's practice, wallpaper has become an important vehicle for the wide distribution of his artistic concepts rather than serving the decorative function that it has typically had since it was first used in the 1500s. In preparation for the documentary Human Flow (2017), Ai traveled extensively to refugee camps and contested zones interviewing hundreds of individuals. In Odyssey 2016 he gives a historical dimension to this contemporary tragedy by relating it to the journey undertaken by Odysseus, the hero of the Greek poet Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey. The six themes of the wallpaper – War, Ruins, Journey, Crossing the Sea, Refugee Camps, and Demonstrations – are visualized in imagery that combines references to early Greek and Egyptian art with images taken from the Internet and the artist's own experience.
Looming over the spectator is Law of the Journey, an inflatable boat filled with figures inspired by the boats used by refugees in dangerous sea journeys to reach Europe. As Ai observed such vessels arriving in Lesbos in 2016 he made several videos documenting their arrival as well as one, On the Boat, in which he stands alone in a partially submerged, drifting vessel, seemingly ruminating on the unimaginable experiences of so many thousands of refugees, many of whom do not survive. In Law of the Journey he envisions such journeys on a monumental scale, emphasizing the dangers faced by the desperate passengers by executing it in inflatable PVC, the same material as many of the improvised vessels. While Ai's films document the horrifying experiences of individual refugees, Law of the Journey translates these into a generalized indictment of the political forces that have occasioned this global disaster.

Buenos Aires (AFP) - A massive outage blacked out Argentina and Uruguay on Sunday, leaving both South American countries without electricity, power companies said.
By mid-morning, streets were largely empty in a rainy Buenos Aires although some stores were open, operating with generators, while Montevideo, the Uruguayan capital, was almost entirely without power with only some traffic lights working.
Uruguay's system went down at 7:06 am (1006 GMT), according to the Uruguayan power company UTE, which attributed the outage to "a fault in the Argentine network."
"The causes are being investigated and have not yet been determined," Argentina's secretariat of energy said on its Twitter account, adding it would take "some hours" to restore power completely.
Argentina, with 44 million people, and Uruguay, with 3.4 million, have a common power grid centered on the bi-national Salto Grande dam, 450 kilometers (280 miles) north of Buenos Aires.
Two Argentine power companies confirmed that the failure knocked out electricity throughout Argentina, without specifying the cause.
"A massive failure in the electrical interconnection system left all Argentina and Uruguay without power," Edesur Argentina said on Twitter.
Edenor, Argentina's largest electricity distributor, attributed the outage to a "general failure in the interconnection system."
UTE said the failure left Uruguay's "entire national territory without service, as well as several provinces of the neighbor country."
More than an hour after the blackout, UTE said its system was being brought back "from zero."
"Some coastal cities already have service and work continues toward general restoration (of power)," it said.

Advocates say COVID-19 vaccine registration is crucial, as Dallas County reports its deadliest week
Getting people registered as early as possible is crucial to fighting the coronavirus pandemic.
Author: Eric Alvarez (WFAA)
Published: 10:20 PM CST January 23, 2021
Updated: 10:20 PM CST January 23, 2021
DALLAS — Community organizers are working to get hundreds of Oak Cliff residents registered for the coronavirus vaccine, as Dallas County ends its deadliest week since the pandemic began.
Dallas County reported 1,920 COVID-19 cases and 21 deaths Saturday, capping a week with 138 deaths.
Chad West, city councilman for North Oak Cliff, was one of several advocates on hand outside Bishop Barbers on Jefferson Boulevard Saturday, where more than 250 people were registered to eventually receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
"We found with a lot of elderly folks that live in the neighborhood, they are just intimidated going online, some of them don't have internet access," said West.
The COVID-19 pandemic has hit Black and Latino communities especially hard.
Hospitalization rates are almost four times higher than those of white Americans, and death rates are almost three times higher, according to the CDC.
Despite the disproportionate effects, Blacks and Latinos are less likely to seek vaccines, according to CDC data.
West said he's seeing similar trends in his district.
"There was a disparity of people of color, people primarily south of I-30 not getting registered," said West.
That's why he and other organizers are taking it one step at a time.
"You're not going to ever get a vaccination if you're not registered," West said. "The best thing you can do is get out there in the streets, talk to your neighbors, help people get registered if you can."
The group is planning to host another registration drive Sunday near the corner of Jefferson Blvd. and S. Adams Avenue.
The Dallas County Health and Human Services Vaccine Registration Hotline can be reached at 469-749-9900. The hotline hours are Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Registration assistance is available in English and Spanish. Registration may also be submitted online here.

Q: SQLalchemy: "Chained" building query objects allowed? I'm getting spurious errors in a Flask/SQLAlchemy app that I've been unable to reproduce. But in the Apache error logs I see large stack dumps which end like this:
"Can't reconnect until invalid "
sqlalchemy.exc.InvalidRequestError: Can't reconnect until invalid transaction is rolled back

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

[ .... many lines of stack trace .... ]

"Can't reconnect until invalid "
 sqlalchemy.exc.StatementError: (sqlalchemy.exc.InvalidRequestError) Can't reconnect until invalid transaction is rolled back
 [SQL: SELECT chart.id AS chart_id, chart.anltyp AS chart_anltyp, chart.anlnum AS chart_anlnum, chart.przsrt AS chart_przsrt, chart.tst_art_num AS chart_tst_art_num, chart.regel AS chart_regel, chart.name AS chart_name, chart.anl_name AS chart_anl_name, chart.aktiv AS chart_aktiv_
 FROM chart INNER JOIN clientview ON chart.anltyp = clientview.anltyp AND chart.anlnum = clientview.anlnum_
 WHERE clientview.id = %s AND chart.aktiv != %s]
 [parameters: [{}]]

I can't really figure out of the SQL statement is the cause or the effect of this error, but what strikes me as odd is the "parameters: [{}]" bit. It seems that the SQL statement requires parameters, but execution doesn't suppl y any, which shouldn't happen because this is generated by the SQLALchemy ORM. The code in question is:
charts = db.query(Chart)
if not new_view:
    charts = charts.join(View).filter(View.id == view_id)
charts = charts.filter(Chart.aktiv != 0).all()
charts.sort(key=key_anlage)

I wonder if I'm messing up things by re-assigning stuff to "charts". I'm probably repeatedly creating and destroying a query object. The code is of course easily refactored (with some redundancy) like this:
if not new_view:
    charts = db.query(Chart).join(View).\
        filter(View.id == view_id).\
        filter(Chart.aktiv != 0).all()
else:
    charts = db.query(Chart).\
        filter(Chart.aktiv != 0).all()

charts.sort(key=key_anlage)

I've just done this, and so far the error hasn't occurred again, but I can be sure only in a day or two. So my questions are:
1) What could be the cause for SQLAlchemy emitting a statement with empty parameters?
2) If it is my code, what would be a more clever way of conditionally add joins to a statement?
Maybe it's the "chart = chart.all()" thing that transforms a query to a list of results and looks a bit silly in hindsight. Of course it's a leftover from the time this whoe thing was just a single, simple query w/o optional filters and joins.


Expediency and other factors make it necessary to add "Inching" posts to my Help! Aging Parents blog–at least for the time being. The best information and advice initially published for adult children of aging parents in Help! Aging Parents, is now repurposed for those of us now Inching towards 80.
After a decade of writing Help! Aging Parents, I realize that I and my readers–every day–are inching towards 80. Indeed, from the day we are born we inch towards 80, don't we?
That said, didn't the "inching" seem so much slower when we were young…. (remember how long it seemed from one birthday to the next)? And as we've aged haven't all–or at least most– of us found birthdays come faster and faster. Of course, they don't. But….
Although I'm not yet 80, I think we all want to give ourselves the best chance to age with as few 80-ish problems and as much luck as possible. So it makes sense to be informed.
To that end, Inching Towards 80 commits itself. Preventing the preventable and controlling what we can seems smart and worth the effort. Because the Sr. advisors to Help! Aging Parents shared so much about aging smart, Inching Towards 80 honors them–and motivates me–to combine their wisdom with reputable research, augmented by my counseling background.

Could Membranes At Coal-Fired Power Plants Slow Climate Change?
STATEIMPACT PENNSYLVANIA – Pittsburgh researchers are working on potentially cheaper ways to capture carbon dioxide from coal-fired power plants.
Amy Sisk / StateImpact Pennsylvania Chris Wilmer, assistant professor of chemical engineering at the University of Pittsburgh, holds a model of a metal organic framework.
Chris Wilmer, an assistant professor of chemical engineering at Pitt, said those membranes are a combination of polymers — a plastic film — and metal organic frameworks. Those MOFs, as they're called, are metals like copper and zinc bound to organic molecules made up of carbon and other atoms, such as hydrogen.
Wilmer used a computer to model millions of potential membranes. He said exhaust gas from the power plant would get sent through the membranes alongside a power plant.
"If they work well, what you would end up with coming out on one side is just nitrogen gas, which is fine to emit into the air, and on one of the other exhausts you'd have pure CO2," he said.
The way power plants currently operate, the exhaust gas gets released into the air, and the carbon dioxide in it contributes to global warming by trapping heat within the atmosphere. Using membranes, the carbon dioxide could be captured and piped somewhere for storage, likely underground.
Wilmer worked with researchers from the National Energy Technology Laboratory, which has a facility south of Pittsburgh.
"One thing that they're really good at doing is predicting how much a carbon capture process would cost," he said.
They estimated that capturing carbon using those membranes could bring costs down to $50 per ton. He said other technology costing $80-$100 per ton uses solvents to bind to carbon dioxide. Those solvents then need to be heated to separate from the gas. That process is more energy-intensive, which adds to the price.
A lot of carbon capture research takes place in Pennsylvania, but the technology has never been used here. Wilmer said some carbon capture pilot projects exist elsewhere, and a test project would be the next step for the membranes.
