All classrooms at Camberley School will be back in use today after a chemical spill forced the school to close on Monday.
An old fashioned mercury thermometer broke in the science area on Friday afternoon and even though the broken parts were picked up the mercury vaporised during the weekend in the 30C heat.
The school was open for students again yesterday but the two affected classes were housed in spare classrooms despite receiving clear readings from an air assessment done by the Fire Service.
Camberley School principal Tamla Smith said they were satisfied that all classrooms were ready for use again today.
She said the quick action from the staff and agencies meant the risk to everyone's health was vastly reduced.
"As soon as the teacher suspected a funny smell we got the students out and put them in the hall so no one was exposed to the toxic smell all day."
The school was evacuated within about an hour and 13 students, two teachers and a parent were taken to Hawke's Bay Hospital as a precaution.
Ms Smith said they were all discharged on Monday night.
Liquid mercury is not readily absorbed through skin but vaporises at room temperature and inhaling the vapour can be harmful.
Symptoms of exposure to the neurotoxin include tremors, insomnia, neuromuscular changes and headaches.
Fire crews and a hazardous materials team decontaminated the affected area on Monday afternoon ventilating the affected classroom and removing the carpet.


FEEDBACK FROM CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE OPTIMIZERS FROM SERIES 'К', RECIEVED IN THE PERIOD 2011-2014
We have selected a short part of the most informative letters we recieved from our clients. All posts are real and provided from our customers.
Rumen H., Plovdiv, Audi A6 TDI
Hello, my car is Audi A6 2.5TDI, 2003 and i bought the optimizer 6 months ago. As i am travelling a lot, in the end of the first month i calculated that my fuel consumption is less than usual - about 1liter per 100km less. Before i installed the optimizer my fuel consumption was 7-7.2liters, after that it was 6liters/100km. This is the consumption when traveling long distances driving with about 120-130km/h The company is reliable - it allows you to test the device and if you do not like it you get your cash back. I am satisfied with my results.
Veselin P., Sofia, Citroen C4, 1.6 HDi
Firstly and most important - the device works. The vehicle is Citroen C4, 1.6 HDi, 110 HP, 5 gears manual transmission, 2005. It is observed that the fuel income is significantly reduced. A "wonder" that no HHO cell could achieve! The average fuel consumption on the road Sofia-Burgas-Sofia was about 4.0 liters with a turned on air conditioner. At first sight the fuel economy is between 8 and 15%. An absolute plus of the technology is that it is ininvasive(it requires no changes made on the vehicle, neither the ECU), does not require any maintenance. I highly recommend it to anyone who uses his car often!
I.S., Aitos, Hyundai Santa Fe
My car is common rail 2007 diesel. I bought the fuel optimizer 2 months ago and i am quite happy to notice about 16% fuel economy is achieved when i put 2 of the K3 boxes on the battery and 2 on the fuel tank. I think the product is worth its price. Thank you.
Ivaylo D., Veliko Tarnovo, Alfa Romeo 1.8 TS 144 HP, LPG injection
So i decided to write a review after two months since i use the fuel optimizer have passed. I installed it on a LPG system "Fobos" and passed more than 2000 kilometers. The vehicle: Alfa Romeo 1.8 TS. I experiensed the following results:
Average fuel consumption before installing the optimizer - 9.5-10.0 liters/100km. After installing the fuel optimizer - 8.2-8.7liters /100km. The vehicle is quite "nervous" and is sometimes driven quite rentlessly and despite of that there is a positive effect, you could observe that looking at the numbers i gave earlier. Contratulations!
The device really works! I liked the fact that i could give back the device and get my money but iI didn`t need to. 15% average fuel consumption. I have hever supposed that such device exists, it will be good if it becomes wide-spread.
Filip A., Shumen Nissan 1.6, LPG
After i installed K3 my gas consumption was reduced from 10.5 liters / 100 to 6.5-7.5liters /100. My LPG bottle contains maximum 38.7 liters gas. Before i installed the optimizer i was passing 380 km, now i sucessfully traveled 510km. The engine works "soft" and smooth. Thanks.
Svilen S., Renault 19, LPG + TAP
My car is Renault 19 and i use LPG system. The overtake is set by the TAP to +15 degrees on high RPM and +6 on lower ones. After regulation of the air-fuel mixture the car has higher torque than normal even that the mixture was depleted. In the moment i have a reduced fuel consumption, quiet engine and increased torque which is awesome! The vehicles acelerates smoothly on 5th gear while driving with 40km/h. Congratulations!
Part of the feedback is from our previous product - fuel optimizer K1. Now we offer its improved version - K3.
Feedback from our clients about the fuel economy when using fuel optimizer K2
BMW 5, petrol - economy of 16%
Citroen C crosser, 2007, HDI - 20%
Subaru Legacy 2,2, 1994 , petrol - 19%
Subaru Outback 3,0, 2006, petrol - 20%

NeuWrite reads: Brain on Fire
As author William F. Allman puts it in his book Apprentices of Wonder: “the brain is a monstrous beautiful mess.” Thanks to the brain, we are who we are and we do what we do. Now can you imagine your brain failing you, turning against you and becoming your worst enemy? That is exactly what happened to Susanna Cahalan when she went from being a happy 24-year-old New York Post reporter to suddenly and inexplicably going mad.
In Brain on Fire, Cahalan narrates her journey from hell and back, reconstructing her month of madness using videotapes and interviews with doctors, friends, and family. It all begins with her displaying some bizarre behaviors like difficulty writing (she is a writer!), intense mood swings and insomnia. These symptoms might have been due to the stress from her job as a reporter, but then came the terrifying hallucinations and full-blown delusions such as believing her dad killed his wife, paranoia and a seizure that leads to her hospitalization. At that point, she starts rapidly deteriorating physically and mentally, entering a downward spiral of madness and losing her sense of identity completely. Cahalan spends a month in the hospital until the life-saving diagnosis, but it takes her a lot longer to recover her identity (if she ever actually does).
In her own words, “There are changes, but it’s more like a step to the left than an overhaul of my being. I talk fast again, can do my job with ease, feel comfortable in my own skin, and recognize myself in pictures. However, when I look at photographs taken of me ‘post’, versus pictures of me ‘pre’, there is something altered, something lost — or gained, I can’t tell — when I look into my eyes.”
Because her initial dramatic psychotic symptoms overshadowed other neurological deficits, she initially got a psychiatric diagnosis. First it was bipolar disorder, then schizophrenia, and later, a combination of both: namely, schizoaffective disorder. Luckily, thanks to one terrifying seizure that bears an uncanny resemblance to that chilling scene in The Exorcist, she ended up in a specialized neurological hospital (as opposed to a psychiatric ward). That meant that doctors there were more likely to look for neurological problems rather than psychiatric ones. In other words, they were actually gonna look inside her brain there.
The titular moment of the book is when a doctor tells her family “Her brain is on fire.” Can a brain be on fire? Turns out it can. What the doctor really means is that her brain is inflamed. The term inflammation comes from the Latin word “inflammare,” which means to set on fire. Inflammation is a complex biological immune process that our body undergoes in an attempt to self-protect against harmful stimuli by eliminating the cause and beginning a healing process. The typical symptoms of inflammation are redness, swelling, pain and heat. Inflammation can occur in any part of your body, including your brain — in which case, it is called encephalitis. Most people who suffer from encephalitis show mild flu-like symptoms that include headache, fever, or fatigue. More-serious cases show a wide range of symptoms that can include pretty much anything the brain is responsible for, leading to confused thinking, hallucinations, seizures, problems with speech or hearing, double vision, loss of sensation or paralysis, etc. While the vast majority of cases recover within a few weeks with no major complications, severe encephalitis can be life-threatening .
The diagnosis of encephalitis relies on a good initial medical history and identification of the symptoms. Doctors then use more precise and decisive diagnostic tests such as brain imaging, to potentially reveal swelling of the brain, or a spinal tap, to look for signs of inflammation in the fluid that surrounds the brain. Given that encephalitis has a variable presentation of symptoms and causes and because brain scans and spinal taps can fail to detect it, diagnosis of the disease can be tricky. In particular, Cahalan suffers from a very specific type of encephalitis that has only been diagnosed in about 200 people throughout the world. She relates her family’s, her doctor’s and her own frustration as blood tests, MRI, EEG, spinal taps and so on, come back negative and explain none of her symptoms.
The key diagnostic tool comes from a gifted out-of-the box neurologist, nicknamed Dr. House in the book, and consists of a simple drawing of a clock. The clock-drawing test is a diagnostic test to screen for neurological problems and commonly used in disorders such as stroke or Alzheimer’s disease, since it provides helpful insights into a person’s cognitive ability. The patient is asked to draw a circle in a piece of paper and put the numbers 1-12 in the clock, and sometimes they are asked to represent a specific time as well .
Now, below is the clock Cahalan drew that sent her doctor down the right track to finally diagnose her disease. She squished all 12 numbers in the right side of the clock, which indicated that the right side of the brain, responsible for seeing the left side of that clock, was impaired. This pointed towards a somewhat focalized lesion in her brain as opposed to a more generalized damage that one will expect to see in a psychiatric disorder.
“Beaming, Dr Najjar grabbed the paper, showed it to my parents and explained what this meant. This was finally the clue that everyone had been searching for. It didn’t involve fancy machinery or invasive tests, only pen and paper”.
Brain on Fire is an excellent representation of the diagnostic ordeal of an individual with an unknown or rare disease. Cahalan was, in the end, very lucky. Lucky that because of that one seizure, she ended up in the hands of a neurological team instead of being admitted to a psychiatric ward. Lucky that her doctor decided to perform that unusual old-school clock test that finally gave her a diagnosis. Her decision to come forward with her experience, reliving, reanalyzing, and narrating every single day of the torturous process she went through, is intended to help others have the same good fortune and raise awareness of such rare diseases in the medical community as well as for the general public.
One then can’t help but wonder how many rare diseases like this one go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, and how many patients end up in psychiatric institutions left to lose their minds while there might be some treatment out there for them. The World Health Organization defines a neurological disorder as a disease of the nervous system and a psychiatric illness as a disorder that manifests as abnormalities of thought, feeling, or behavior . As you can see, the division between the two fields does not sound very clear. There exists a somewhat false dichotomy between psychiatric and neurological disorders, but in fact, the so-called psychiatric disorders might just be neurological problems that we have not figured out the cause of yet or that are far too complex to find a specific cause. This book touches upon the implications of neurological diseases having symptoms and behaviors that are almost indistinguishable from psychiatric disorders and how it is extremely important for psychiatrists and neurologists to join forces in avoiding falling prey to misdiagnoses. Thankfully, the government-funded Undiagnosed Diseases Program, whose mission is to help patients with rare diseases, has expanded and received increasing attention in the last years.
The book is also a great platform for readers, both neuroscientists and not, to think about the essence and complexity of the brain and the deepest part of one self — personality, memory and identity — and to consider how quickly the knowledge of who we are or how we act can be radically altered. And the brain is in control of it all. If the brain changes, so do we. It is fascinating how, at the beginning of the book, Cahalan doesn’t know why she acts like she does. She is never sure whether a disease is driving her crazy behaviors or if she is possessed or if it is just the result of stress.
“We felt deeply comfortable together, generally happy, safe, and trusting. As I lay there, however, I was suddenly, unexpectedly, hit with one overpowering thought: Read his e-mails. This irrational jealousy was wholly unlike me, I had never even been tempted to intellectually trespass like this. But without really considering what I was doing, I opened his MacBook and began to scroll down his inbox. […] I never act like this, I thought, disgusted. What is wrong with me? I have never in my life snooped through a boyfriend’s things.”
Even at the very end of the book, when she is chronicling her slow recovery, very subtle changes or behaviors — like seeing brighter than normal colors in the subway — fill her with a fear that she might be going crazy again. That her brain might be failing her again.
Her writing style, her persistence to leave no stone unturned and dig deep and deeper in an effort to understand the disease, and her sincerity regarding the ways in which this experience changed her and her relationships with family and friends all make for a stunning story that is impossible to put down. From the perspective of people who love #scicomm, her approach to the medical terminology and scientific explanations on how the brain works are remarkable. So I highly recommend this book for your summer reading, and be on the lookout — the movie is coming out this year!

By the birth car “Volga” GAZ-24 thanks to GAZ-21. It already to the end of 60th morally became antiquated and not written into those tendencies of which the whole world aimed. And there was it, wonderful and majestic, at the same time simple and reliable. As an old true friend. Step from GAZ-21 to to GAZ-24 was not so much revolutionary how many evolutional. And if a car changed a form cardinally, the general chart of car remained previous. That arrangement, those knots and aggregates. But many parts remained identical. Moreover principle of evolution was expressly looked over in everything. For example motor of Volga GAZ-24 – ZMZ-24D appears a difficult evolution and development of engine of ZMZ-21. So he other, but there are general lines and details in them. That chart, that distance between cylinders, that cooling et cetera. Then in 60 when “Volga” was developed GAS-24 power of cars of foreign producers grew from year to year. Americans to the end of 60th stepped over barrier in 200 horse forces. In Europe and Soviet Union all was far more modest. So designers so carried with an evolution, that not able to prepare a deserving motor for Volga. The prototype of V6 so lies for today in a GAS museum. A sour (though forced) motor was inherited frankly a car Volga from GAZ-21 Volga. Even after measurements at one time he was low-powered. Possibly looks to of that time post-war depressed Europe were some displaced priorities. However much it interferes with him to be on a conveyer already over 40 years (not counting GAZ-21 Volga) and passing the whole series of modernizations to appear in appearance ZMZ-402 and UMZ-421 (although the second evolved directly from ZMZ-21). So despite all its conservatism in technical terms – drum brakes, outdated engine (already at the time of release GAZ-24), lock rear axle, spring rear suspension, the car as a whole in a comfortable, fast and stable. However, the conservatism of its creators lamented his fate be barging. Be barge totalitarian soviet regime. In the absence of competition and lack of freely be purchased vehicle was warmly loved, loved for its comfort, by design, but not by technical perfection. Even then, the Volga entrenched stamp “eater of petrol”. Ordinary people the car was only available as a car-taxi. Focusing on centralized services at stations led to difficulties and high labor repair some components and assemblies. It is extremely difficult repair front suspension, rear axle, engine compared to more “proletarian” cars of the USSR. Yes Volga still afraid to non-specialized stations on it. A further stagnation and 16 years on the line intact. In 1986, the year cosmetic changes and the same flaws – drum brakes front and rear, weak voracious motor, spring rear suspension, spare wheel on the boot floor. And if in 1970 it was conservatism, in 1986 it was already a gap of 16 years. But no matter what the Volga owners love this car. For beautiful body lines Volga per soft ride and a large capacity and spirit of the era. This is a classic ….

February 6, 2011
took cat to dolores park. dropped her in the middle of the park, and as usual, she immediately ran out of the park toward dolores street. crossed street and walked down whatever that street is between 19th and 20th (collingwood???).
as we continued the walk on the sidestreets around d park, cat kept stopping and meowing, probably because she didn't know where she was or which way to go.
on 19th st, a little poodle came up to her and said hello and sniffed her. the owner said the poodle lives with a cat and they're friendly to one another. my cat didn't react initially, but was about to, so separated them.
she walked most of the way home without any incidents.

Woodwork can be broadly divided into two major categories: housework and furniture. Housework usually refers to all the arrangements that are required for the upkeep of a home. These could include such things as putting up roofs, flooring, guttering, windows and doors. Furniture on the other hand is much more specific, with furniture design, construction, upholstery, painting and carpentering coming into the picture. Furniture also incorporates the many devices used for making tables, chairs, shelving and other household goods.
Woodwork is a craft and hobby that have been around for centuries. Woodwork in itself has various forms, like cabinet-making, furniture-making, book-making and woodcarving. Modern technology too has added to the proliferation of woodwork as technology has enabled woodworking machines to make intricate products in a fraction of the time it would take an individual. Woodwork can be art and also practical.
Woodworking projects can range from small projects such as a stool or a set of chairs to larger projects such as a full size table or a chair. Woodwork can be made from many types of wood and materials. The most commonly used woodworking tools are a large pair of chopsticks, a level and a table knife, a hammer, pliers and a tape measure. Some of the most common woodworking hardware include utility knife, a screw gun and a putty knife. All these items are easily available in hardware stores.
Wood carving is mainly done in the form of a figure, usually a man or a woman, but it can also be animals or symbols. Carving requires patience and skill, wood working tools used for this process are chisels, planers and knives. Wood carving is an art form. The carving might take several hours, sometimes days to complete the carving.
Hardwoods are the preferred hardwood for outdoor projects such as benches. Hardwoods are dense and strong. This quality makes hardwoods suitable for the bench construction. Other kinds of woods that are commonly used for bench construction are maple, oak, teak, ash, birch and pine. Hardwoods are not the only source of hardwood for benches; softwoods such as bamboo, pine and rosewood are also used.
Softwoods are much lighter than hardwoods. These woods are easily worked and are usually used for delicate outdoor projects. Most softwoods are less expensive than hardwoods. Some of the popular softwoods used for outdoor projects are redwood, cedar, white pine, bamboo, elm, redwood, sassafras and rosewood. Hardwoods are more expensive than softwoods.
The texture of the wood also plays an important role in the durability and weather resistance. The texture can be rough, medium and smooth. Rough texture provides a rugged, rustic appearance. Medium texture has a soft natural appearance that is best suited for lighter applications. Smooth is ideal for applications requiring a more decorative, elegant look. Choosing the right type of wood is important to ensure durability and long lasting beauty.
Woodwork projects require precision cutting and must be made using appropriate hand tools and power tools. The basic power tools used for wood carving include; hand saws, band saws, routers, grinders, planers, grinder and table saws. Hand tools include; chisels, drills, grinders and Sanders. Power tools include; chainsaw, table saw, power drill and battery powered saws.
Wood carving techniques include detailed, intricate and detailed cuts. Shapes are carved out by using accurate angles and measuring tools. Pieces of wood are prepared for carving using special tools and processes such as sanding and finishing. Finishing techniques include using chemicals such as varnish and paint to seal and protect wood. Pieces are then ready to be carved. Projects may consist of small, intricate items such as portraits or figurines, or large items such as furniture or wreaths.
Most woodcarving projects are custom made. It is up to the chapter how much detail and accuracy they want from their project. Some projects, such as jewelry and clothing designs, may not be able to be carved accurately. Custom woodcarving offers a unique opportunity to show your creativity. It also allows you to serve as a designer for others.
Woodwork projects provide a great way for crafters to spend time with family and friends while creating something beautiful. Many crafters choose to share their project designs with others who enjoy their craft. They often take part in woodworking groups, which are like online clubs that allow them to trade ideas and share their knowledge. Woodwork is an enjoyable and rewarding hobby for anyone who enjoys the process of making things.

This paper here goes into some detail about how Mars' experiences its own form of 'ice ages' on a quasi periodic basis driven by the wobbling of its axis. The main mechanism outlined is that the stability of water ice on the surface increases with increased obliquity. Why is this?
On a more discussion based addition to the question, could factors such as ice albedo and other feedback loops play a similar role in Mars' ice ages that they do in Earth's ice ages?
I have also asked this here on the EarthScience stack exchange

That fix, he said, should be for the long term. “A kick-the-can-down-the-street [solution] for two months may solve a short-term political issue, but it doesn’t do anything to the consistency and predictability that federal contractors need,” Chvotkin said.
In its post-election analysis, lobbying firm Patton Boggs LLP concluded that Congress would rather delay sequestration with a short-term solution than face further reductions to the U.S. debt rating, like what happened following the failed 2011 debt ceiling negotiations. It may be a short-term, $20 billion to $75 billion “down payment” to delay the process for three months to a year, or an effort to squeeze sequestration into a shorter timeline, say, eight fiscal years.
“Given major philosophical differences on tax policy issues between the parties, it remains to be seen whether these discussions will lead to an agreement to avert the fiscal cliff while, at the same time, clearing the way for comprehensive tax reform,” the report states. “In our view, it is likely both will occur in the lame duck session (or shortly thereafter), beginning with agreement on a Bush tax cut extension coupled with a broad framework for a tax reform agreement, with the hard work of tax reform to span across 2013.”

Real estate experts in the Washington area are hopeful that the federal government will get back into the leasing business now that the presidential election has passed.
The political divide in Congress and the White House didn’t change with the election, but the partisan divide that has dogged Congress over the past year could subside now that Republicans and Democrats do not have to worry about how their actions will impact the presidency, said Scott Johnston, who heads the government services group for real estate advisory firm Newmark Grubb Knight Frank in D.C.

In order to study MIG welding process of aluminum alloy with longitudinal magnetic field, thermal efficiency with longitudinal magnetic field was analyzed, as well as softening behavior of heat-affected zone (HAZ) and base metal were investigated. The results showed that under the action of longitudinal magnetic field, welding current decreased and resultingly total heat input reduced as the exciting current increased, meanwhile at the anode surface current density and heat flux density decrease in the arc core and rise at the edge of arc, which made arc thermal efficiency increasing and melting efficiency decreasing. As a result of action of the magnetic field, the trend of grain growth of HAZ slowed down and the influence on base metal of heat input decreased. When the exciting current was 20A, microhardness of HAZ and base metal improved evidently. However, as the exciting current continued to increase, the effect of magnetic field on softening behavior did not change significantly.


I’ve been a conservative for as long as I can remember. For much of that time I was a Conservative too – the two are now so intrinsically different. The former believes in low taxes and personal liberty while the latter would rather appeal to floating voters by rushing through gay marriage (an issue that could have been sorted in due course) instead of clearing the deficit and tackling the debt.
It filled me with no joy to see David Cameron, a man who has betrayed trust and broken promises waltz back in to 10 Downing Street under a party banner he has never shown much commitment to. The Polly Toynbees of this world may liken him to Thatcher but Dave is no Maggie. I’m not sure anyone really knows what he believes in, barring his out-and-proud fetish for the European Union.
We hear of cuts. But where have the cuts come? Foreign aid is still costing £1bn a month, our EU membership continues to rape the tax-payers wallet to the tune of £60m a day and the supposed bonfire of the quangos – something that was proposed first time around – has not come to fruition. While I support a limited welfare state I most certainly do not endorse cuts anywhere until these such measures have been taken first. And quite why the general public have not latched onto the concept that huge quantities of money could be saved here I have no answer. Such a strategy would surely leave more expenditure for the public services this country romanticises over?
But that will not happen. Cuts to the most vulnerable will be made without reducing the substantial tax burden significantly. Indeed, if the state stops providing then what reason do they have to take such rates of tax? None.
Nigel Farage’s UK Independence Party chickened out of offering a libertarian alternative to the British people but I was desperately sad not to see him elected in South Thanet. A shoddy, but vitriolic campaign was fought against him and eventually the people of Kent succumbed to fear and lies. The Scottish National Party proved to be the Tories greatest weapon to claw voters back from the purple, while others were misled that Farage was either a banker, a racist or both.
Farage has championed the EU exit cause for two decades, the past few years has finally seen him, and his party, rise to national attention. Perhaps he should have contested the Eastleigh by-election in 2013. Perhaps the party should have pushed harder in the Heywood and Middleton by-election last year. And perhaps focus shouldn’t have been so intense on immigration. They have got things wrong, and a solitary seat would have shocked many considering the wave of momentum they held when Douglas Carswell and Mark Reckless were returned to the green benches as UKIP MPs last autumn. But one seat for almost four million votes is not a true reflection of the party’s growth across the country. If we were in Sweden, we would currently be left either euphoric or in turmoil at the fact UKIP had become the third-largest party in the House of Commons, as the Sweden Democrats – their EU-allies – did in the Riksdag in 2014.
For now, Farage has stepped down as leader of the party. He may – and I hope sincerely that he does – have a significant role to play in UKIP and in a potential EU referendum over the coming parliament. No Eurosceptic can truly trust Cameron on the Brussels question. It is clear that he will never campaign to leave under any circumstances, like Blair, he is far too invested into it. Renegotiation on core issues such as freedom of movement are impossible, and a fudged question would not come as a shock either. While UKIP MPs cannot hold the PM’s “feet to the fire” his pro-exit backbenchers can and must. With such a slender majority another Major-esque “back me or sack me” play may come about; they have got to be prepared to sack him.
On electoral reform, UKIP and the Greens – the two biggest sufferers of First Past The Post – need to form an uncomfortable alliance, to exert pressure from Left and Right. Under Proportional Representation, the combined five million votes would have translated into over 100 seats. Instead, they were left with two. The insurgent parties must accept that reform has to be at the top of their respective agendas, for they cannot make any real impact without it.
That Cameron’s majority is so wafer-thin gives hope that the rebellious in is clan can cause him nightmares and leave him no option but to make Euroscepticism a part of party ideology once more. However, I, and the other four million who voted UKIP, were in search of something far more promising than that.

The devastating foot and mouth disease, which threatens to decimate Australia’s livestock industry, has been detected in goods coming into Australia from both Indonesia and China.
Just one positive case of foot and mouth on an Australian farm could shut the $27 billion livestock export trade down for months or even years. The federal government has estimated the total cost of a major outbreak at $80 billion.
The disease infects cloven-hoofed animals and does not affect the health of humans. It can be carried on animal products including meat and leather and people can carry it on their shoes, clothes or in their noses, where it can survive for up to 24 hours.
Agriculture Minister Murray Watt revealed on Wednesday that viral fragments of foot and mouth disease had been detected in a beef product at an Australian airport, brought by a passenger from Indonesia.
Pork products that were for sale in the Melbourne CBD were also found during routine inspections to contain viral fragments of both foot and mouth disease and African swine fever – another livestock disease that has not previously circulated among animals in Australia.
“We have detected foot and mouth disease and African swine fever viral fragments in a small number of pork products for sale in the Melbourne CBD that were imported from China,” Watt said on Wednesday.
“Several other pork products for retail sale have tested positive for African swine fever viral fragments.
“I’m advised that all products now of this kind have been seized from all linked supermarkets and a warehouse in Melbourne as well.
“In addition to this, a passenger travelling from Indonesia has in recent days been intercepted with a beef product that they didn’t declare, which tested positive for foot and mouth disease viral fragments.”
Minister Watt’s office said viral fragments are not live and cannot be transmitted.
National Farmers Federation chief executive Tony Mahar said it was a relief to hear only viral fragments had been detected but said it showed the disease was circulating and there is an escalating risk of the live virus being transmitted into Australia on animal products or people.
“The risk is heightened and increasing.”
An outbreak on Indonesia’s main island of Java has spread to the popular tourist island of Bali, which is visited by more than 1 million Australians a year, ramping up the risk of a first-ever outbreak in livestock Down Under. Foot and mouth disease and swine fever have been detected in animal products in Australia before.
Watt said sanitation foot mats would be placed in international airports, which passengers would walk over to disinfect shoes and help dislodge dirt and other debris that could carry the virus.
“These sanitation mats will be a physical reminder to passengers to do the right thing to limit any spread of FMD, and will be used in conjunction with our current measures, such as passenger declaration, 100 per cent profiling of all passengers entering from Indonesia, real-time risk assessments, questioning and shoe cleaning,” he said.
Animal products posed the biggest risk of incursion, Watt said, arguing it was a positive sign the infected beef and pork products had been detected.
“These detections show that our borders are strong and that our biosecurity systems are working,” he said.
Mahar said the government must continue to ramp up biosecurity measures to detect the disease in line with the escalating risks.
“We welcome the deployment of footmats to airports, but we need to keep upping the measures.”
Mahar said the government should urgently implement any new technology measures that could help trace and detect the virus, and allocate extra funding to ensure every returning Bali passenger was screened by a biosecurity officer at airports.
Foot and mouth disease infects domesticated farm species such as pigs, cattle and sheep, as well as feral species, including camels, pigs, goats and deer. It causes fever, lameness, and lesions on the tongue, feet, snout, and teats.
The virus is highly infectious, spreads rapidly among livestock and can survive on objects like vehicle tyres, livestock trucks and equipment.
The 2001 outbreak of foot and mouth in the UK forced the destruction of more than 6 million pigs, cows and sheep at an estimated cost of £8 billion ($14 billion).

I was hungry for a donut the other day but couldn’t find one anywhere near the Capitol the other day. I ended up settling for A Nestle King Sized Sandwich (only now do I realize that no where are the words Ice cream to be found on this wrapper.) As I was eating the sandwich I turned over the wrapper and looked over the nutritional information and list of ingredients, as is my want. I noticed that for the vast majority of them I had no idea what they were… Considering that monoglycerides don’t sound that appealing I decided to investigate!
For those of you who can’t make out the list in the picture above this “frozen dairy dessert” contains:
Whey, sandwich wafers (bleached white flour, sugar, caramel color, dextrose, palm oil, corn flour, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, baking soda, modified corn starch, salt, mono and diglycerides, soy lecithin, cocoa), sugar, corn syrup, cream, tapioca maltodextrin, propylene glycol monostearate, skim milk, guar gum, monoglycerides, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, carrageenan, annatto color, artificial flavor, caramel color, salt.
Good lord, some of those are a mouthful aren’t they? Now let’s see if I can find out what they all are? And if you didn’t know ingredients on food are listed by the quantity in the product, so the first item is the most, and the last item is the least.
Whey – is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained. It can be used to make ricotta or brown cheeses but is most often used as an additive in many processed foods, such as this ice cream sandwich
Sandwich wafers – see below
Sugar – this is a fairly generic term, I’m assuming that it is referring to sucrose hear, as it is the most common and popular.
Corn syrup – made from the starch of maize. Corn syrup is mostly glucose. According to Wikipedia it is used, “in foods to soften texture, add volume, prevent crystallization of sugar, and enhance flavor.”
Cream – skimmed from the top of milk; this is butterfat. This is a common ingredient in ice cream.
Tapioca maltodextrin – a modified food starch that thickens and stabilizes fatty compounds. It is produced from tapioca starch by a natural enzymatic process to give desirable fat-like and stabilizing properties. Van be used as a fat-replacer in desserts, cheese products, and ice cream. Some of the benefits include the neutral flavor which makes it an excellent flavor release with improved smooth texture. The off-white color and low application rate of 2% to 10% makes it a great substitute for fat, milk, gums and other stabilizers.
Propylene glycol monostearate (PGM) – ss a colourless, viscous, colorless liquid. It is mixable with water alcohol, and many solvents. PGM has a wide range of applications including industrial solvents, paint and coating solvents, polyester and alkyd resins, antifreeze coolants, heat transfer fluids, deicing fluids, plasticizers, detergents and surfactants, and bactericide (YUM!) Pharmaceutical grade PGM is used in foods, pharmaceutical, and personal care products. Propylene glycol monostearate can be used as a lipophilic emulsifier and emulsion stabilizer in food.
Skim milk – milk with all of its cream removed.
Guar gum – the ground endosperm of guar beans. Typically produced as a free-flowing, pale, off-white colored, coarse to fine ground powder. Guar gum has man applications from the explosives to mining industry. Most likely its use here is to help maintain the homogeneity and texture of the dessert.
Monoglycerides – a common food additive used as an emulsifier, to help blend certain ingredients together such as water and oil. When you bake or make ice cream at home you use an egg yolk.
Sodium carboxymethylcellulose (SCMC) – Commonly used in pharmaceuticals. SCMC is a gummy substance that is a sodium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose; used as a thickening or emulsifying agent. It is also used in paints, detergents, and most disturbingly the oil drilling industry (as part of the mud they use to plug wells.)
Carrageenan – derived from seaweed carrageenan gel increases viscosity.
Annatto color – derived from the achiote tree. Annatto is used to produce a yellow to orange food coloring.
Artificial flavors – through the magic of science we can create volatile (how else would you be smelling them?) compounds which mimic the complex chemicals that give flavor to the foods we eat. The flavor business is a cut-throat one which is why manufacturers don’t have to tell use what they are using.
Caramel color – another food coloring. Caramel color is one of the oldest and most widely-used food colorings, and is found in almost every kind of industrially produced food.
Salt – you should know already
Bleached white flour – white flour that has been chemically treated, usually with the same chemicals used to age the flour, to remove the light yellow color caused by xanthophylls, a variety of carotenoid also found in potatoes and onions.
Sugar – see above
Caramel color – see above
Dextrose – is glucose how this is different from fructose and sucrose is beyond my grasp of chemistry.
Palm oil – edible plant oil derived from the fruits of palm trees. Palm oils are high in saturated fat. Common in processed foods because of how cheap it is.
Corn flour – A powdery flour made of finely ground cornmeal. White corn flour is used as a filler, binder and thickener in cookie, pastry and meat industries.
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) – According to Wikipedia, HFCS “comprises any of a group of corn syrups that has undergone enzymatic processing to convert some of its glucose into fructose to produce a desired sweetness. In the United States, consumer foods and products typically use high-fructose corn syrup as a sweetener.” This is because it is usually cheaper than sucrose, or table sugar.
Corn syrup – see above
Baking soda – sodium bicarbonate. Baking soda is used in baking because it facilitates the rising of dough.
Modified corn starch – created by physically, enzymatically, or chemically treating native starch, thereby changing the properties of the starch to enhance their performance in different applications. Most likely used here to prevent the wafers from dripping while they defrost.
Salt – see above
Mono and diglycerides – see monoglycerides above
Soy lecithin – a yellow-brownish fatty substances occurring in Soy beans. Its use here is probably for its emulsifying properties since it reduces fat and egg requirements. It also acts as a releasing agent to prevent sticking and simplify cleaning (important in mass production.)
Cocoa – the low-fat component of chocolate.
Before carrying out this exercise I had no idea what the majority of these items were (outside the ones with common household names and the various sugars) or how they were made. Now that I do know I’m only slightly perturbed (disturbed.) The idea that many of these items are produced in chemistry labs instead of grown on a farm, while alarming, doesn’t seem to indicate that they are actively harmful.
Sadly, the same cannot be said for the industry that uses and creates them. HFCS is no more harmful than common sugar but, the system that created that made HFCS viable as a substitute is quite harmful.
I enjoyed the sandwich but I don’t think I’ll make eating them a habit. I continue to follow Michael Pollan’s advice from In Defense of Food, “don’t eat anything that your great-great grandmother would not recognize as food.”

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The No. 8 Virginia women’s golf team put together one of the best team scores ever recorded at the University of Michigan Golf Course to move into first place after the second round of play at the NCAA Ann Arbor Regional on Tuesday. The Cavaliers shot 3-under 281, the third best single-round score by a women’s team in the course’s history, to enter Wednesday’s final round in first place at 7-over 575. The top four teams from the site’s 12-team field will advance to the NCAA Championships.
Top seeded San Jose State is in second place at 10-over 578. The No. 5 Spartans shot even par 284 during the second round. No. 20 Arkansas is third at 14-over 582 and No. 18 Michigan is in fourth place at 25-over 593.
“I’m really proud of the way the team played today,” said UVA head coach Ria Scott. “Everybody was really clear in their course management plan and a majority of them executed the shots they intended. When you marry those two things together it equals some great scores.”
Sophomore Jennifer Cleary led the Cavaliers by shooting a career-best 4-under 67. She finished the day in second place at 2-under 140, one shot behind San Jose State’s Natasha Andrea Oon. Cleary posted birdies on her first, sixth and ninth holes to make the turn at 3-under par. A bogey on No. 12 cost her a stroke but she answered with back-to-back birdies on holes 14 and 15 before finishing her round with three consecutive pars.
“Everyone seems to be trending right in time for postseason,” Cleary said. “We got some momentum today and are ready for more steady golf tomorrow.”
Cleary became the fourth Cavalier to ever shoot 67 during an NCAA Regional event, the lowest round ever posted by a UVA competitor at a regional site. UVA’s team score was the fourth best by a Cavalier squad in regional competition history.
UVA first-year Amanda Sambach is in fourth place at 1-over 143. She shot 1-under 70 during the second round. Graduate student Beth Lillie matched that number to finish the day in eighth place at 3-over 145. Junior Celeste Valinho is in 17th place at 6-over 147. She shot 3-over 74, that included a triple bogey on her final hole. Senior Riley Smyth entered the UVA lineup for the second round as a substitute player and shot 4-over 75.
“We know Wednesday’s hole locations will be the most challenging we will see this week, but we feel like we are getting to know this golf course and these greens very well and we can play some smart golf and finish it off tomorrow,” Scott said. “It feels good to be in the position we are in, but I think you’ll see a team that will go out and play to win during the final round. They won’t be looking back at cut lines.”
Wednesday’s final round will start at 8 a.m. with the Cavaliers paired with San Jose State and Arkansas.

This study aims to identify modifiable risk factors for de novo renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after kidney transplantation in a matched-pair approach matching for unmodifiable factors. One thousand six hundred fifty-five adults who underwent kidney transplantation in the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2012 were analyzed. Patients with RCC after kidney transplantation were matched in a 1:2 ratio with those without RCC using the indication for transplantation, age at transplantation (± 10 years), recipient sex (male/female), number of received transplants, living organ donor transplantation (yes/no), and time of follow-up in days as matching criteria. The paired t test was used to compare continuous variables and the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test for categorical variables. Multivariable conditional logistic regression modeling was used to identify independent risk factors for RCC. In matched-pair analysis, a total number of 26 incident cases with RCC after kidney transplantation could be matched. Post-transplant RCC was significantly associated with longer durations of pre-transplant hemodialysis (p = 0.007) and post-transplant immunosuppression with cyclosporine (p = 0.029) and/or mycophenolate mofetil (p = 0.020) and with larger proportions of post-transplant time on mycophenolate mofetil (p = 0.046) and/or prednisolone medication (p = 0.042). Multivariable conditional logistic regression modeling revealed a significant risk increasing multiplicative factor interaction between the duration of pre-transplant dialysis (years) and the time of prednisolone usage (percent/100). Cyclosporine A usage and mycophenolate mofetil usage were also revealed as independent, significant risk factors for RCC development. Longer pre-transplant dialysis, cyclosporine-based protocols and/or intensified immunosuppression with additional mycophenolate mofetil, and larger proportions of time of prednisolone treatment during follow-up increase de novo RCC risk.

While June was my worst reading month of the year, July was one of the best! I ended up reading 8 books and 5 volumes of manga. So, here they go:
- The Last Man by Mary Shelley(4.5/5)
A carry-over from June, this was a really appropriate or inappropriate book for the times, depending on your way of thinking. An apocalyptic tale set during a worldwide plague, this was a really dark and intriguing story.
2. Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson(4/5)
This was my second Sanderson book, and I liked this more than Mistborn. It had a quite interesting world, magic system and characters.
3. Desperate in Dubai by Ameera Al-Hakawati (2.5/5)
This book followed the lives of four women in Dubai, as they dealt with relationships, love, lust, societal expectations etc….I thought it would be a fun, light-hearted book, however, I found it difficult to get through because of how shallow the characters were. The writing style was also not too good, in my opinion.
4. Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (4/5)
This fun, yet creepy horror novel is exactly what it sounds like-a gothic tale set in Mexico. I found it to be quite an interesting read.
5. The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon (4/5)
This was a fun romance book, following Samiah, who after being cheated on by her boyfriend, had made a pact with her new friends to focus on her career and spend time developing the app she had always wanted to. However Daniel, the attractive new guy in her office makes that difficult for her, and things go as you would expect. A quick, fun read.
6. Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo (3/5)
This is an East-Asian inspired fantasy novella focusing on the lives of two women in a royal setting. I thought it was a fairly good read but I didn’t find it too memorable.
7. Normal People by Sally Rooney (3.5/5)
This is a literary fiction novel following the complicated relationship between two young people in Ireland, Marianne and Connell. Again, this is a book I thought was okay, but it definitely was not the best book I’ve read, by a long shot.
8. Drive your Plow over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk (4.5/5)
This was a reread for me. It has been translated from Polish, and follows an elderly woman named Janina who has strange interests and doesn’t fit in with society, and how things change when members of the local hunting club keep turning up dead. I thought it was a beautiful read the second time round as well.
- Satoko and Nada by Yupicheka Volume 1&2 (3.5/5)
This was a fun slice of life manga that followed the friendship between Satoko who is Japanese and Nada who is Saudi Arabian as they lived together as roommates in America. It is a light-hearted story about them bonding and learning about each other’s cultures. It was mostly a fun read, though I did have a few issues with it.
2. The Promised Neverland by Kaiu Shirai (Volumes 1, 2 &3) (4/5_
From a rather light-hearted manga, I went to a really dark one. This follows three children in an orphanage who find out a dark secret about the orphanage and have to find a way to escape. It was a really exciting read.

Choirs in harmony with Heritage Festival
A veritable feast of symphonic stanzas is on the menu when Old Parish & St Paul’s Church throws open its doors to choirs from near and far to perform during the 2017 Borders Heritage Festival (BHF).
The Galashiels venue is one of 25 historic sites across the region taking part in Lighting the Borders, a Year of History, Heritage & Archaeology signature event. And, Old Parish Choirs, featuring Finnish choir Tuuslaulajat, Langlee Community Choir and Gala Water String Quartet, will be one of 11 performances that reflect the historic and cultural diversity in the Scottish Borders.
Featuring a premier performance of ‘South to Scotland’ a new composition inspired by the town of Galashiels by local composer Eric Falconer the Old Parish Choirs event takes place on Saturday, September 2 (7.30pm) and entry is free.
Langlee Community Choir will perform songs from their current repertoire conducted by their director Chris Achenbach while the Tuuslaulajat choir will perform parts of their celebration repertoire for the centenary of the Finnish independence. Throughout the evening the two choral groups will join for mass choir performances.
South to Scotland, an arrangement of four fiddle tunes, will be performed by The Gala Water String Quartet who have come together especially for this performance.
Composer Falconer told us: “The tunes in South to Scotland reflect in different ways significant parts of my own life here growing up and living in the Borders.
“The title is a reminder to those for whom our country starts in Edinburgh or Glasgow, that, if you travel south towards the border, you are in Scotland too and the piece is written with local themes and Scottish idioms.
“They follow a conventional Scottish progression from air to strathspey to reel. In this case, there are two strathspeys, the first more melodic and gentle, the second driving and rhythmic, leading into the final reel, The Border Line.”
The South to Scotland performance is being funded by Creative Scotland while the Finnish Choir appearance and the lighting of the church are all being funded by Event Scotland through Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology funding

Join Thor and me as we admire the foundations of the Minoan culture on Crete.
NOTE: Of course, Thor and I had to make another trip to Greece, as he’s fallen as much in love with the islands as I am. This time, in addition to other island-hopping, I wanted to return to Crete after 37 years. My first months-long trip was as a hippie backpacker, camping in the ruins and falling under the spell of the mysterious, vanished Minoan culture. This time, I got to introduce Thor to “glorious Kriti” and research more settings for my novel-in-progress, THE ARIADNE DISCONNECT. This rerun of a 2019 blog series started August 26, 2023, and will continue every Saturday (with occasional diversions).
Last week, we shared an overview of the Minoan palace complex of Knossos, and some of its treasures in the nearby Iraklion museum. Today we’ll start a tour of the museum with its offerings from the area representing the earliest finds from Neolithic through Bronze Age into the “Protopalatial” period.
Until the late 1800s and early 1900s, the myths of King Minos and his labyrinthine palace were considered just that — as myths. Then archaeologists began to discover evidence of a culture much older than the classic Greek culture and the epics of Homer that mentioned Cretans joining the Trojan War. Heinrich Schliemann made the crucial discoveries at Mycenae and ancient Troy (in Turkey), and attempted to excavate at the rubble later determined to be the site of Knossos. He failed to gain permission, but shortly thereafter, Sir Arthur Evans was able to buy the property. What he found at Knossos basically blew out of the water previous assumptions about the region’s history.
We’ll return to a tour of the site in next week’s post, but first we’ll take a look at artifacts from the early settlement of the area, painting a picture of the beginnings of art and technology on the big island of Crete. The earliest signs of settlement were in the Neolithic era, around 7000 BC. These clay ovens date to between 4500-3000 BC:

A preference for active over passive funds was seen across European, US and emerging market equities, but was most acute in emerging markets, where 90% of fund selectors prefer active strategies.
The preference for value over growth equities runs across the US and Europe, but is most prevalent in Europe, where 62% of investors favour a value approach. Emerging markets is the exception, with 54% of investors preferring growth strategy. Increasingly in emerging markets investors are also favouring small cap over large cap strategies (46% versus 29%).
This may be a function of valuation. As the valuations of dependable growth stocks have climbed, investors have sought out value stocks. Data from S&P suggests that value strategies have gained momentum for the year to date in 2014, with value stocks within the S&P 500 gaining 7.3% compared to 5.4% for growth stocks. In emerging markets, where valuations are lower, investors have less need to seek out value.
Valuation may also explain the dwindling preference for US small caps over large caps. Although investors in European equities still favour small cap over large cap, US small caps have seen a lengthy bull run and now look expensive on most measures.
There is also a notable improvement in sentiment among Swedish investors towards late cycle investments such as frontier markets and commodities. 62% of investors are planning to increase their weighting in frontier markets over the next 12 months. The performance of commodities funds has started to improve since the start of the year and almost 19% of investors plan to increase their weighting.
Bonds continue to be unpopular with Swedish investors with none planning to increase their weighting to corporate or government bonds over the next 12 months.

Everest is a film that tells the story of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster, in which a climbing expedition is devastated by a severe storm. The film was directed by 2 Guns director Baltasar Kormakur and written by William Nicholson (Gladiator, Les Miserables) and Oscar winner Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire and 127 Hours), starring Jason Clarke, John Hawkes and Josh Brolin. To start the film is beautiful; the director of photography Salvatore Totino presented the size and scale of the environment beautifully with multiple aerial shots. Totino has a clear and linear style, which is refreshing after the summer, which with the exception of a couple of films, has been dominated by shaky-cam and extremely quick cuts.
The dialogue in the film stands out, however the plot does not. The characters were underdeveloped, partially due to the lack of introduction that is given to our main characters; this combined with the slow pace of the first act causes the film to drag. However it should be noted that the film makes a point of showing the process of preparing to climb Everest. The second act is fine, not great though and is intense especially during the storm and finally the film just finishes, which really throws you out of the film.
Although none of the performances in the film were award-worthy they still were acceptable and in some cases quite good. Jason Clarke and Josh Brolin had the meatiest roles, and they both provided good performances. However out of the two, Jason Clarke provided the best performance. The side characters were forgettable, with the exception of Doug (John Hawkes) and Yasuko (Naoko Mori), with Doug being a postman and Yasuko finally completing the seven summits, two things which helped to distinguish them. Everyone in the film was 'care-beared', thankfully, and they had to be otherwise it would impossible to tell who you were looking at.
One part of production that deserves praise in this film is the lighting department who did a superb job on presenting a clear environment; especially during the storm. A quick side note- the score of the film was forgettable.
Ultimately, Everest is an intense drama thriller that has its problems, however is still beautiful to watch, I wouldn't purchase it on 3D Blu-ray, as after watching it in 3D I didn't find anything spectacular or noteworthy, however I would consider buying it on Blu-ray. Overall, I am going to give Everest a C+ or 6/10.

I’m with you there. Plus, IMO at least, the TGP is more immediately useful.
Looking forward to the day the Hornet is as feature complete as the Hog.
Hornet Mini-Update 2018-11-02
Automatic range scale adjustment was added to the internal build today for testing.
Automatic range scale control is enabled when the radar is operating in STT, or if the RSET pushbutton switch is pressed. If the L and S, DT2, or STT target has a valid range and is within the tactical area, then it is used as a range scale control target.
The digital data computer automatically adjusts the range scale so that the furthest range scale control target is displayed at between 40% and 90%of the selected range scale. When the display is expanded about a range resolved L and S target, the digital data computer dynamically adjusts the range scale so that the L and S target range is at the center and the display range limits are that range ±5 nmi.
Automatic range scale control increments and decrements the range scale in STT, but only increments the range scale in TWS. If the range scale is manually adjusted then automatic range scale control is disabled until the RSET pushbutton switch is pressed.
Not to steal any of Nine’s thunder, but Wags posted a nice video today showing 9x use with JHMS which will be playable in a few days.
So in preparation for this, I set up a Time Pilot mission with a large staggered group of 109s all going after your carrier,. You take off, and with unlimited 9x winders, you annihilate the Nazi hordes. Or that’s the idea. I was testing today the old fashioned way with ACM modes, mostly vertical and boresite, and the missiles seemed sort of buggy. Anybody else notice this? Like I get a lock, fire a couple off and they just fly straight ahead? Not always though. Maybe doing something wrong…
edit: As a side note, 109s won’t actually go after the Stennis. But they will go after speedboats. I made one invincible and suck it inside the Stennis, same speed, same route. Totally worked. Those little 109s just try to go to town on that carrier and hilarity ensues. One of them may have, er, shot my Hornet down during testing. Soooo embarassing.
AIM-9s are sort of picky about when and where they lock, especially against prop planes which aren’t quite as hot as jets. I would avoid using the radar to guide them and strictly rely on the missile’s seeker for a lock.
Hmmm. I guess we will see with the JHMCS, but I swear, I caged, uncaged, locked from miles out and put that damn seeker head right on the plane. Fired multiple missile and they would just say “yay! I’m free and getting the hell outta dodge. Not interested in what you want me to do.”
I’ll test more in a bit. Maybe doing something stupid. I suppose I could post a track over at DCS forums if it still seems a bug. I know the Hornet is early access and all…
@schurem can’t wait to have you test. It nicely flows narratively from the last mission, where you are landing on a heavily attacked carrier. Payback time.
The seeker is being slaved to the position of the radar contact. That does not necessarily mean that the missile has acquired the target, it just means the missile’s seeker is being told to look there. Unless you’re hearing the missile’s lock tone, it doesn’t actually have the target.
DCS’ IR missile model is based around a broad extrapolation of how heat seeking missiles worked from the 40s up until the early 90s. We’re talking real general strokes here, but basically the missile scans an area, sees an area that is hotter than something else, and continues to move towards the hotter area. DCS then models factors that effect an missile’s ability to find the hotter area: the position of the sun, countermeasures, engine heat, and relative aspect.
Your average world war II aircraft is not going to be putting out as much heat as a tube that works by dumping raw jet fuel out the back. Nor is it going to be going fast enough (I think), that aerodynamic heating will be sufficient to provide guidance. That means that a traditional IR seeker may struggle to maintain lock against something like a piston engine fighter that is aggressively maneuvering.
In reality, the AIM-9X uses an IIR (Imaging Infrared) seeker, which is able to lock onto contrast between the target and environment, which shouldn’t have any problems killing the Messie. In DCS, the AIM-9X is a traditional IR seeker that has obscenely good CM rejection. So again, it may have issues guiding on WWII aircraft.
For the most part, IR missiles track piston planes fine, but they seem to require one to fly closer than usual from when I tested a couple months back.
Progress is so cool
I take this is going to be an exciting week!
This is good, as I am at the stage where I’d really like a FPAS page on the Hornet, as it this will be so handy. Sorry for making everyone wait.
You are right, of course, and that is likely some of what I was running into. I was guilty of the cardinal sin of playing without sound.
I tested with headphones and sure enough, tone was flaky as all hell with the 109s. Still might be a bug… got nothing from 500 meters with the plane positioned in the center of the seeker head. This was engaging head on.
Strangely, the first couple lock up OK, but after that, really difficult.
I actually had more success mad-dogging a boatload of 120s (which really was pretty fun).
We will see what the helmet brings us tomorrow.
What does it mean when your VV is way off from your fall line while bombing or shooting rockets? Perhaps asymmetrical load on the aircraft? I was running into this last night while practicing CCIP.
Another overly long treatise:
Frontal aspect (head on), is the regime where you can expect the worst performance from a traditional heat seeking missile. In the earliest days the missile essentially needed to see straight up the tail pipe of the enemy jet to have a chance of success. Successive improvements increased the sensitivity of the seeker so it could lock onto that hot plume of gases from greater region to either side of the back of the plane until eventually they can get a lock from anywhere behind the 3/9 line of the enemy aircraft.
The problem remained, how do you lock onto a jet when the fuselage and wingy bits are in between your seeker and the tail pipe? Well it was by that point well understood that at the speeds most aircraft of the day were flying, friction from the atmosphere created aerodynamic heating upon the leading edges of said aircraft. It was a matter of making a seeker sensitive enough to reliably find and seek in on those relatively warmer surfaces. This is your AIM-9L/M. The compromise here is that that aerodynamic heating is still much colder than the exhaust plume you would see if you were behind an enemy jet, and is accordingly more difficult to maintain a lock on. A frontal aspect target will be harder for the missile to acquire, and it will be easier for the target to decoy using flares.
DCS simulates this to a point. What I’m less sure about is the extent to which piston engine aircraft are effected by this, to which extend DCS models that effect.
Tl;dr Always maneuver for the rear aspect shot if you can.
Great information, and I’m sure you are right, of course. Thing is, ALL the engagements have been head on and the first couple consistently work from quite a ways. It may be the sun is coming into play, or the ocean… I’m not sure.
Happy that DCS seems to be modeling some of the subtleties, and it looks like I have a good mission set up to test the limits of them.
In this case, it might be more reliable to shoot off boresite with the helmet, as the seeker has a better profile…
Or mad-dog spaamrams. Those are always fun
I’d also double check and make sure the IR COOL switch is set to NORM.
