Chapter 227: Danxia Temple (46)
It… was a bodily sensation of a place leaving the body.
"Fellow Daoist!" "Commander!" "Spud!" "You…"
An untold number of alarmed cries suddenly rang out. Each person saw that after Xu Yangyi retreated from Wei Zhongxian's mouth, his person was fine. However, his left arm was but empty space!
"Pant… Pant…" The sound of cool gasping spread out from between Xu Yangyi's teeth. His pale lips shivered incessantly. He was already soaked with blood from head to toe. His body had sustained heavy injuries, and his left arm was lost. However, he didn't look towards his wounds but rather straight at the corpse puppet.
Wei Zhongxian was motionless. He… had just stiffened in place like so. After five seconds, the four Buddha wheels on his entire body exploded into a radiance that filled the sky in a twinkling!
Rustle… The corpse puppet's five sensory organs all opened and rays of pure white qi slowly ascended into the sky from them. It was as if Wei Zhongxian was evaporating.
Infinite, limitless, and separated somewhat far away, a skybound light pillar of white qi was all that could be seen. It revolved in the unbounded lotus sea.
This heart-shaking berserk qi swept across the entire neighboring space! On the ocean surface, it looked like a hurricane had blown through. Tides rose and fell in succession and the surrounding lotuses looked back in harmony!
"This is…" Fahui resisted the feeling of his body on the verge of collapse. He gritted his teeth and used his monk's robe to block his face, looking at the scenery. Only the white skybound spiritual light was seen in the center. In the surroundings, four spiritual lights, black, white, azure, and violet in color, erupted and dyed the sky with rich and vast colors.
"Succ… cess?" His eyes were fairly red. No one was willing to die. Even if his eyes were swimming, he was still begrudging to blink away from this scene.
However, every place that his eyes touched was a multicolored domain. He couldn't clearly see at all!
Xuan Chengzi didn't speak, merely sheltering his face. Right now… qi hurried and rushed like the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers clashing head-on! Through the seams of his fingers, he observed the five-colored spiritual light. Even though it was piercing to the eyes, he was still unwilling to part his gaze from it.
Countless eyes forcibly resisted the multicolored spiritual light that bewildered the pupils. They looked towards the space above the lotusless ocean surface. Even if they couldn't see in such a situation, they had heard their clansmen say that this was a qi leakage after the destruction of a seal. The whereabouts of the mighty figure who had crafted Wei Zhongxian into a corpse puppet were unknown. After several centuries, the elimination of the corpse puppet had actually leaked out qi in this manner.
However, at this time, the corpse puppet suddenly produced a frightened voice. Although the voice wasn't loud, everyone heard it all too clear!
"Awakened… She… has awakened… She has awakened!"
This was the final screech of the corpse's existence in this world. After this voice, the sky flashed with dazzling white light. In the end, everyone could endure no more and closed their eyes.
As soon as the white light flashed, it died away. When everyone opened their eyes, Wei Zhongxian no longer had a trace of qi. In this instant, he was truly dead. He returned again several hundred years into the past, a ghost going back to the netherworld.
Shortly afterwards, he was like a marionette cut from its strings, plummeting down with a rumble!
SPLASH!!! In the pond water, a person-tall ocean spray splashed up! Wei Zhongxian had once been dismembered into five parts. This time, his extremities completely separated! There was no further black qi connection among them.
"Amitabha…" Fahui's face revealed a mournful color. He glanced at all the copper men on the lotus leaves who had already died in battle. He turned towards the corpse puppet on the lake's surface: "You ought to descend to the eighteenth layer of hell."
"Daofather above…" Xuan Chengzi was the sole survivor among Greenwall's Four Swords. His grieved expression carried a sliver of relief, and he sighed deeply. He closed his eyes and meditated, saying no more.
Rustle rustle rustle! Endless brilliance still spiraled in the sky, charging straight to the horizon. It was similar to fluttering spirit butterflies. Everyone beared a terribly complex feeling, and they watched the unleashed light pillar of qi revolve in the sky.
At this moment, time and space seemed to halt. Among the people still alive, a sensation of escaping mortal danger was spontaneously born.
Victory… Victory! They… had survived from the hands of an old initial-stage Foundation Establishment monster! Experiencing the five Heavenly Opening divine abilities, they survived in the end! From among a thousand, only ten remained! However, they stood staunchly until the end!
"We won?" Zhao Wuye sluggishly stood on a lotus leaf, trembling all over as he surveyed the scene.
"Huff…" Mao Ba'er, Zhao Ziqi, Li Zongyuan, Quan Ningyue, and Fang Cheng sighed in relief in this moment. Without the slightest hesitation, they all collapsed on their lotus leaf.
"We survived… Great…" Fang Cheng glanced at the oppressively black sky and finally closed his eyes. He could no longer hold on.
The scene was calmly dreadful. After an unknown passage of time, Fahui stood up and bowed deeply towards Xu Yangyi: "Benefactor, Mount Song's Shaolin Temple will remember this grace."
Xuan Chengzi's gaze flashed. Fahui actually came from Mount Song? It was no wonder… that he could endure for such a long time!
However, this thought merely flashed in his mind. He struggled to stand up and also bowed deeply: "Xuan Chengzi… In place for the deceased Qing Jingzi, Wu Weizi, and Ling Xiaozi, I offer my thanks to Fellow Daoist…"
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist… for avenging this poor Daoist's three apprentice brothers."
Sister Nine and Yi Old Five didn't speak. Their eyes narrowed into slits, and they deeply eyed Xu Yangyi. They took his silhouette and branded it in their hearts. Afterwards, they shut their eyes.
They were unwilling to have this man as an enemy. Not only did he treat his foes mercilessly, but he was likewise merciless to himself!
I really don't know… At the same time Sister Nine closed her eyes, she noiselessly sighed. She truly did not know… where on earth this monster came from…
Currently, none were aware that underwater, the last chain on a shadow body—a red chain—loudly crumbled apart! The four other Buddha wheels on the chains were all eliminated.
Below the water, it was quiet. Very quiet.
An unknown amount of time passed. Countless air bubbles slowly floated up from underwater. Soundless and silent, unknowing and unaware...
On the water's surface, Xu Yangyi laid down on top of the Chasing Skylark. The pain of his severed arm tormented each of his nerves. Nonetheless, he didn't have too much time to feel pain. Xuan Chengzi and Fahui bowed to him. He accepted and to accept was a proper matter. Looking to his heart, there was no shame; a clear conscience.
If it weren't for him, not a single person present was capable of surviving! But right now, he had an even more important matter to do!
The Animus Armament. At this moment, his long-cherished wish had finally come full circle. For it, he hadn't hesitated to find Daomaster Jadewave and look for an expert archeologist. In order to solve its mystery, he didn't hesitate to personally enter the bottom of Danxia Temple. At long last, now was the time to unravel all of its secrets.
Suddenly, the half box on his chest emitted a golden light that filled the sky. With a swooshing noise, it flew away from his chest by itself! In the next second, this golden light transformed from a sliver into a domain! Ultimately, it actually covered as far as the eye could see!
Swish swish swish… In the sky's curtain, violet talismans all around had already become a backdrop. In this instant, boundless golden light sprinkled down. They were cheering and in high spirits, endlessly happy for reuniting after a thousand years!
The screen of golden light slowly fluctuated in the sky. It was transparent, pure, and holy… but carried an inviolable mighty pressure. It was akin to a god's descent.
Boom… From some unknown place, the gentle sound of a wooden fish echoed. Afterwards, the entire sky silently but audibly rang out with a stretch of wooden fish sounds.
In the scene, the corpse was scattered across a hundred meters. However, following the emergence of these wooden fish sounds and their slow beating… the bloody air surprisingly grew weak. The tension of battle was unconsciously brushed away from the heart and replaced with a kind of post-fight tranquility and spiritual purity.
Swoosh… In the wake of these wooden fish noises, a white character appeared in the sky little by little. It wasn't large, but it was able to occupy the human eye. It wasn't magnificent, but it was able to cover a person's spirit.
This character carried a mysterious charm that anyone, including cultivators, were unable to describe with words. It was like an ink painting unhurriedly spreading open.
Xu Yangyi's gaze slightly flashed. He hadn't expected that the two parts of the Animus Armament united could actually give rise to such a scene. Studying the already faintly discernible character in the sky, he couldn't help but read it aloud: "Dao… Dao?"
However, following his recital of this word, the entire space started to tremble! It was different from Wei Zhongxian's divine abilities from just now. This time… there wasn't any divine ability! This word had caused space to shake! It was as if Danxia Temple was unable to bear this word!
"This is!" Originally, Fahui already looked like he was soon to die. Once he saw this scene, he suddenly jumped up with a strength that was unknown in origin, swooshing! Cold sweat slid down from his forehead drop by drop. His entire monk robe was swelling by itself in the absence of the wind! He watched everything before him incredulously!
"Huff… This… This is… T-this is impossible… I-It's only a legend…" At this moment, Xuan Chengzi forcibly braced his heavily wounded body and jumped up. He felt his heart speeding up into wild palpitations!
They came from the three great ancient sects. There were some old secret tales passed down through the successive generations. The time was too long. Never had anyone witnessed them, and they had already become legend!
"Dao Realm…" Xuan Chengzi's entire body was shivering. Without warning, he devoutly kneeled on his flying magik artifact. His voice was hoarse and his face revealed zealotry: "D-Disciple Xuan Chengzi! I respectfully welcome the Emperor Armament of Daoism coming into the world!!!"
Thud thud thud! This wasn't the sound of wooden fish. Instead, Xuan Chengzi was kowtowing on his magik artifact as if his life depended on it. Blood quickly flowed down from his forehead, yet he was totally unaware!
Animus Armament… These two words emerged in Xuan Chengzi's and Fahui's hearts.
This… was the worldly anomaly of an Animus Armament's true emergence… Fortunately… Fortunately this was the bottom of Danxia Temple! Otherwise, if this harmonized in the outside world, all above Foundation Establishment would be able to see this strange phenomenon!
All that filled Xuan Chengzi's eyes was Xu Yangyi's figure. All that remained in his heart was a believer's hot blood. Presently, even if Xu Yangyi wanted him to die, he wouldn't make a noise! Knocking against his magik artifact, he abruptly recalled something. He quickly spat out a mouthful of blood and a blood-dyed silver sword-core that made a humming noise.
He was already looking towards Fahui with an obvious murderous aura. However, the murderous aura in Fahui's eyes was no less than his!
Moments ago, the two super sects had exerted all power to collaborate. But now that the Animus Armament had come into being, a struggle of orthodoxies came under way!
"I truly didn't expect…" Fahui coughed out a mouthful of blood: "That Fellow Daoist Xu… was actually hiding an Animus Armament on his person…"
"No need for more words." In this instant, Xuan Chengzi and Fahui were burning their lives. Xuan Chengzi waved, and his sword core droned and flew in front of him: "In the struggle of orthodoxies, there is nothing more but war."
"If you want to lay hands on Fellow Daoist Xu, you'll have to step over this poor Daoist's corpse!"
Fahui's expression was gloomy. Never had he expected this… He absolutely hadn't! At the bottom of Danxia Temple, Wei Zhongxian's corpse actually concealed such an item! In his present state, he wasn't Xu Yangyi's and Xuan Chengzi's opponent any means!
As for Xuan Chengzi, he steeled his heart to protect Xu Yangyi.
As he had said, he would go on until death put him to an end!

However, if prices in November suddenly declined from prices paid in October, especially after relentlessly rising for most of the year, then that might provide the first clue to a possible change of trend. Trade asset: the main currency pairs in the period of stable volatility. In that case, some skilled traders will add to their positions - a practice that some traders have jokingly termed "shadding" (for "short add or "ladding" (for "long add. First invented by Gerry Appel in the 1970s, the macd is one of the simplest, yet most effective, technical indicators around. In case of a short, the process is simply reversed. If curve moves to zero, the growth continues, but its speed falls down and loses pace. Availability of both signals is obligatory.
A momentum is literally interpreted as «the movement size». One of the momentum forex que es greatest strengths of the momentum model is that it does not engage in low probability set-ups. Divergence/convergence is also used to find out an early finalization of tendency, and is the best option for closing position. In trading, as in poker, this is the true skill of the game. This pulse indicator is the excellent sensor of the market force, but it is necessary to use it carefully. Figure 2, what is the logic behind this idea? In other words, we may be relatively certain of the direction of the move, but not of its amplitude. Looking at Entry Strategies, a trader can employ several different entry strategies with the momentum model. The momentum model effectively inhibits such destructive behavior by keeping the trader away from the market when the countervailing momentum is too strong. So, for a signal for purchase the following requirements must be satisfied: the price breaks Demark line up; the Momentum line moves higher than the level 100; the EMA(9) line crosses the EMA(30) line from bottom to top.
The movement is evaluated in absolute measures, so that points, cents, dollars are used for the analysis of financial asset price dynamics. Indicators: two moving averages of EMA(9) are red, EMA(30) - the blue line; the Momentum (14) indicator with level 100. Sure, house prices would most likely still be higher in a year-over-year comparison, lulling the general public into believing that the real estate market was still buoyant. The first and most important step is to define a macd segment. Alexander Elder always preferred trade in the direction of strong movement therefore we will use only trend characteristics of the Momentum indicator.
What precipitates such price action? This oscillation of the macd around the nine-period line was first plotted into a histogram format by momentum forex que es Thomas Aspray in 1986 and became known as the macd histogram. Once the macd segment is established, you need to measure the value of the highest bar within that segment to record the momentum reference point. Such Momentum has been built in all exchange terminals. However, more precise assessment requires analysis of its behavior in relation to central level (0 or 100). However, although this set-up may indeed offer a high probability of success, it is by no means a guaranteed money-making opportunity.
As on price chart itself, one can built resistance and support lines on Momentum. Just as professional poker players play the player and not the cards, professional traders trade momentum rather than price. Therefore, Forex Momentum indicator has been originally calculated as a difference between the current market price and the price which was a number of periods back. This may work, but it often forces the trader to enter at the most inopportune time, as the signal is typically produced at the absolute top or bottom of the price burst. The second tactics Forex Momentum trading is based on signals of the indicators line crossing the line of level (0 or 100). Moving on to Figure 2, we can see that the preceding macd high was.0027. As for profit targets, some traders like to book gain very quickly, although more patient traders could reap far larger rewards if the trade develops a strong directional move. When using such method of calculation, the central line will be located at zero level. First, we need to look at why momentum is so important to trading. Figure 3 demonstrates one such entry strategy. Upon crossing zero point, the curve tells about short-term dropdown of price; if decline of the indicator continues, market will descend. Trading, forex Currencies, one of the key tenets of technical analysis is that price frequently lies, but momentum generally speaks the truth. As a rule Momentum Forex system signals appear consistently in such system.
It should be noted that there are two approaches as to the calculation of a momentum. The minimum TakeProfit is 2,5 times more than StopLoss. Forex momentum trend trading system EMA. A new momentum swing low or high is usually created when price makes a sudden and violent move in one direction. Trading The macd Divergence and, basics Of Weighted Moving Averages.) In addition, a nine-period EMA of macd itself is plotted alongside the macd and acts as a trigger line. For a long position, a macd segment is simply the full cycle made by the macd histogram from the initial breach of the 0 line from the underside to the final collapse through the 0 line from the topside. Forex Momentum Elder Trading Strategy, indicators: EMA(19) moving average on closing prices and Momentum(18) with level 100. However, real estate professionals, who are well aware that weakness in housing manifests itself far earlier in month-over-month figures than in year-over-year data, would be far more reluctant to buy under those conditions.
Following Momentum strategy Forex it is necessary to close an hour candle below the moving average and to move the Momentum (18) line lower than the level 100. The indicator is traditionally located at an additional window and is not a mere oscillator. If momentum forex que es the macd histogram now registers a downward reading whose absolute value exceeds.0027, then we will know that downward momentum has exceeded upward momentum, and we'll conclude that the present set-up presents a high probability short.2. Being an InstaForex client, you are provided with a large number of free services for efficient trading. Since divergence is a strong signal saying about weakening of current tendency, it can end. Zero level is marked on it, and around this level the indicator moves. Figure 4 As Kenny Rogers once sang in "The Gambler "You've got to know when to hold them, and you got to know when to fold them". The indicator which is used in the majority of popular trading terminals, including MetaTrader4(5 mathematically represents the ratio of the present price to the price which has been fixed a number of periods back. (To learn more, see. Conclusion, traders often say that the best trade may be the one you don't take. Let's think about why this makes sense. Demo Before You Dive.) This writer sets his stops at the opposite 1 standard deviation, bollinger Band setting away from his entry, as he feels that if price has retreated against his position by such a large.
Having noted the prior high (or low) in the preceding segment, you can then use that value to construct the model. Decision making requires availability of Demark line connecting 3 minimum or 3 maximum fluctuations. If momentum's curve flattens out, it says that the growth fixed by previous Close prices is similar to the growth noted a certain number of periods before. On the small periods and during unstable volatility its signals in general cannot be trusted to as its line is redrawn and the previous signals are cancelled. Upon occurrence of divergence, it is recommended not to open any positions because it is an early signal. Timeframe: H1 - for the search of point of entry and holding momentum forex que es the position.
The larger the indicator parameter, the more slowly its line reacts to the changes in price. The simplest is to take a market long or market short when the model flashes a buy or a sell signal. Forex Momentum Elder Trading Strategy, conclusion, popular Momentum or the speed indicator enables to measure the price fluctuations of financial asset for a certain period. Figure 1 shows an example of a macd segment in the EUR/USD currency pair. The indicator is built in a new window under chart as curve with one time scale. If house prices in New York were higher in November than in October, then we could safely conclude that demand for housing remained firm and further increases were likely. Rules of application of Momentum: Crossing of 0 level is used in trend, and transactions are conducted when trend's direction match. Momentum trading system is based on the indicator that measures speed of price's decline and growth. Here is one way to design a simple momentum model in FX using the macd histogram. The first signal which shall draw attention of the trader is the crossing level 100 by the Momentum (18) line. When market grows, all signals sent by Momentum for sale shall be ignored, whereas signals for purchase shall be considered. To open positions, it is required to wait for confirmation of signal obtained during technical analysis.

Azure Cognitive services offers a way to store a database of known faces, then be able to detect, with a certain confidence level, of whether different faces match any face it has in its database.
Create Azure Service
First, we need to create the cognitive services account, via the Azure Portal.
Currently they support a Free version, which is great for developing and testing.
Get the API, and copy your keys as you will need them later.
Project Setup
For this demo, I am just setting up a quick console application. Install the Microsoft Cognitive Services Face API package.
Install-Package Microsoft.ProjectOxford.Face
Create Face Database
Add in your API link and APIKey.
var azureFaceAPIKey = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"; var url = "https://westus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/face/v1.0";
Now we create a client and we need to detect faces.
var stream = new FileStream(@"D:\sample\images\dj1.jpg", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); var face1 = await client.DetectAsync(stream); stream = new FileStream(@"D:\sample\images\dj2.jpg", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); var face2 = await client.DetectAsync(stream);
I uploaded 2 pictures of Dwayne Johnson.
Note: To use the VerifyAsync command coming up, we can't add to a Person or FaceList. PersistedFaceId's do not work, we can only use the FaceId's from the DetectAsync method.
Face Recognition
Now, lets try and verify if the faces are the same or similar. There can be multiple faces in each photo, but since I know there is only one, I can use the first item in the array.
var result = await client.VerifyAsync(face1[0].FaceId, face2[0].FaceId); Console.WriteLine(result.Confidence); Console.WriteLine(result.IsIdentical);
In this demo, and other examples I have seen, having a confidence level > 0.7 is normally considered a match.
Learn More
There is a demo of this code at my GitHub repo AzureFaceAPI. You can also store Face's and Person's via this API. For more information you can look at the Face API Documentation.

I've been called everything from a giraffe, to a turtle (google "a turtle's neck" and you get the idea) and surprise surprise … a swan!
Have you made the connection between the 3 animals by now?
They have long long necks!
So what was it that transformed me from a giraffe and turtle to a swan?
Fletcher Towelwork with the Fletcher Braided Towel.
Below is a picture of my fire engine red Towel alongside Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns on my holiday in June last year.
I started practising Fletcher Towelwork circa 2004.
Granted, it took me a while to get it right, but oh, the relief in my shoulders and neck, the lift and expanse in my chest area – those feelings were something I've never experienced before.
Along with my new way of carrying myself around, I started to feel more open and confident, not to mention 2 inches taller as you can see in the pictures below taken in San Francisco.
Nowadays, wherever I travel, I ALWAYS pack my Fletcher Braided Towel with me. Long flights and soft beds in hotels don't keep me grumpy for very long as long as I do my 15 minutes of Fletcher Towelwork.
My Towel has been with me to Tokyo, the West Coast of USA, the Canadian Rockies, New York, Tucson and more recently to Maldives (see pictures below) and Lima. I have practised Fletcher Towelwork at airports while waiting for my connecting flights, in the hotel room, in the hotel courtyard or by the outdoor swimming pool, in front of a waterfall and even on a cruise ship!
Yes I get many looks when I do my thing, but given the smiles that came along with these people, I would like to think that they are curious and possibly imagining just how wonderful it would feel in their bodies too!
I love that I can practise Fletcher Towelwork anywhere and everywhere. I'm not concerned that the airport or the hotel floors are dirty for Matwork because Fletcher Towelwork is practiced in standing!
Later, I'll be posting about the intention of Fletcher Towelwork and how it actually helps to relief shoulder pain and neck pain.
For now, I'm enjoying resembling a swan more than a giraffe. And would you believe I've even been described as "regal"?
I am interested to join the Pilates class for 5 to 8 students.

Corner shop owner Ryan
GroceryAid steps in to help single father and his children who care for him.
Ryan*, a single parent in his 50s, lives with two of his three sons above his corner shop. He is an active member of his local community and has been running his corner shop for many years. Sadly Ryan was recently diagnosed with Cancer and the treatment has left him very weak and unable to work. Macmillan Cancer Support advised Ryan to contact GroceryAid to see if we could help him and his family.
Ryan's eldest son has left home, but his other two are still in full-time education, aged 19 and 12. Their lives are very different from before their father was ill. They have come together to run the business between them and care for their father, who spends his days in a room behind the shop.
With money tight, the family was unable to replace essential items including their washing machine and fridge freezer which had both broken down. This put extra pressure on Ryan's sons who were already struggling to manage their daily household tasks, shop duties and attending school while caring for their father.
GroceryAid immediately stepped in to replace the broken appliances and also gave the two youngest sons a £150 dependant payment each at Christmas. GroceryAid is continuing to support the family with quarterly payments while Ryan recovers from his treatment. This extra help has made a big difference and enabled them to balance caring with their everyday lives, while keeping the family business going.

The growth of the social media site Pinterest has been astounding. Not only that, but 85% of the content is being posted by women. Pinterest is essentially a virtual vision board. Or rather, multiple boards, as women create endless amounts of boards for style, food, beauty, travel, work, music, and many more.
I can only imagine what men feel when they first visit the site, being overwhelmed by images of dream weddings, travel destinations, beautiful furniture, place settings, flowers, cookies and cakes, and mainly, fashion.
Pictures of dresses, couture, supermodels and celebrities inundate the site. Women share their personal style with each other – favorite jewelry, shoes, bags, clothing, you name it. It's a beautiful menagerie of all things style and beauty. The site can be quite addicting, as most of my girlfriends now have a daily habit of spending at least a few minutes (or hours) a day pinning new finds. Even the word "pinning" has an entirely new meaning now.
I hope the site diversifies to encompass more than just female-centric content, so that other brands and users can take advantage of the experience. For now, I highly recommend any brand that has products appealing to females (and gay men) start pinning!

I can edit "mybeacon" sample and it work file.
As I said, I have made "some" broadcasters. And I will produce them for some years.
Do I have to rewrite the code every time when write the program? I feel it's little bit silly thing...
I think there is a bug in the latest SDK, and the compiled sample "mybeacon" was made by an old version SDK, or someting.
Please check this.
1) Make a new project.
2) Copy the code from "mybeacon".
3) Run it and check the debug monitor. Original mybeacon send count-up number to the debugmonitor, but the copied project don't send the debug. This mean here
bleprofile_notifyAdvPacketTransmissions(&advertisement_packet_transmission, 2500);
failed and the "advertisement_packet_transmission" never called.
Hello, this is Taka,
The make target name of "mybeacon" sample is "xx-BCM92736TAG_Q32". And my project is "xx-BCM920737TAG_Q32".
The difference is "736" and "737".
How about this? We have to add this line in the make file when we use "bleprofile_notifyAdvPacketTransmissions()".
APP_PATCHES_AND_LIBS += additional_advertisement_control.a
and there is a bug in the 737's additional_advertisement_control.a??
There was a bug in the additional_advertisement_control.a library. This has been fixed in SDK 2.2.1. Please upgrade to this release.
Thank you very much!
Now I understand there is no way to solve it by using additional_advertisement_control.a.
I will update the SDK.

Mining engineering program celebrates 125 years of success
Mining engineering program celebrates 125 years of success
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — On Oct. 4, 1890, Penn State's Board of Trustees approved the establishment of a mining engineering degree program. In the 125 years since then, Penn State's mining engineering program has become one of the most influential in the country, helping to educate future engineers and providing leadership and ideas to help shape the industry.
Evolution of the industry: from mules to machines
Penn State's mining engineering program played a major role in helping the mining industry transition and progress into how it operates today. In the 1880s, it was common practice for mules (such as Penn State's Old Coaly) to carry materials out of mines. As demand increased, mining companies sought ways to improve efficiency, and one way to accomplish this was mechanization, or the use of technology such as electric-powered conveyor belts and elevators to accomplish task previously done manually.
One of the first graduates of Penn State's mining engineering program, Lewis Young (who received his bachelor of science degree in 1900), was renowned for his expertise in mine mechanization. He advised mines worldwide on how to implement new technologies and was responsible for the first complete mechanization of a coal mine in Illinois. In 1960, he was named a Penn State Alumni Association Distinguished Alumnus in honor of his achievements.
Technological innovation evolved from mechanization to computerization — initially using computers in the planning and design process. Operating a mine with and without computers was like "night and day," said Tom Falkie, who served as head of the Department of Mineral Engineering (the predecessor to the John and Willie Leone Family Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering) from 1969 to 1973.
"In the 1950s, Penn State and two mining companies were the leaders in computerized mine planning and mine operations. We would develop applications to simulate different mine plans, and then put the plan that had the best potential into operation. Without a doubt, it increased efficiency of mines tremendously. Eventually, everyone across the world got involved, and today the use of computers in mine operations has become much more advanced," said Falkie, who later served as president of Berwind Natural Resources Company.
Falkie and other Penn State mining engineering faculty such as Howard Hartman, Robert Stefanko, Charles Manula, Frank Aplan, Reginald Hardy, Stan Suboleski and Raja Ramani were instrumental in both conducting groundbreaking mining research and educating future mining engineering faculty members.
"Penn State's mining engineering program has produced some of the best and most original thinkers in the mining industry. At one point, around 25 percent of the mining engineering faculty across the United States had received a mining engineering degree from Penn State," said Ramani, an alumnus, professor emeritus of mining engineering and geo-environmental engineering and head of the Department of Mineral Engineering from 1987 through 1998. "I studied under Charles Manula, and seven of the eight Ph.D. students studying with me at the time went on to become faculty members at colleges across the United States. He was a beacon of light when it came to operations research and computers. Almost anyone who wanted to do work in this area was attracted to Penn State because of him."
As a testament to the expertise of Stefanko and other Penn State mining engineering faculty, several books used in mining engineering curricula worldwide were authored by former Penn State mining engineering faculty: Howard Hartman, who was head of the Department of Mineral Engineering from 1957 to 1963, wrote "Mine Ventilation and Air Conditioning" and Stefanko's "Coal Mining Technology: Theory and Practice," now in its fourth edition, can still be found in classrooms today. Hartman was also called upon to serve as senior editor for one of the largest manuals used by the industry — the 2,453-page "Mining Engineering Handbook" produced by the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration (SME).
Pioneers in safety
Safety in the mining industry is equally, if not more, important than efficiency. Two Penn State alumni paved the way for improving mine safety. George Deike Sr. and John Ryan Sr., who both received bachelor of science degrees in mining engineering from Penn State in 1903 and 1908, respectively, started the Mine Safety Appliances (MSA) company in 1914 to develop new equipment to improve safety. The company collaborated with Thomas Edison to develop the first-ever electric cap lamp, which cut fatalities by nearly 75 percent, according to the MSA.
The names Ryan and Deike may be familiar to Penn State visitors; each have facilities named in their family's honor on the University Park campus — the Deike Building and the Ryan Family Student Center, the college's advising, tutoring and social hub.
Ryan and Deike each had sons — John Ryan Jr. and George Deike Jr. — who would go on to get their mining engineering degrees from Penn State and continue in their fathers' footsteps by focusing on improving mine safety. Deike Jr. and Sr. also played a strong role in Penn State's development by serving on the Board of Trustees; together, the two served for 51 years total. George Deike Jr. and Sr. and John Ryan Jr. received the Penn State Alumni Association's Distinguished Alumni award in recognition of their accomplishments.
George Deike Jr.'s wife, Anne B. Deike, endowed the first professorship in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences in 1998.
"The University is always proud of endowed chairs, and they're really a testament to relationships between industry and education," said Ramani, who was the inaugural holder of the George H. Jr. and Anne B. Deike Endowed Chair in Mining Engineering. Today, the chair is held by Jeff Kohler, who previously served as director of the Office of Mine Safety and Health Research at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
Over the years, Penn State faculty and graduate students have been responsible for numerous advances in ground control, ventilation, electrical systems, systems engineering and other topics, and these advances have led to significant gains in safety as well as productivity.
Strong industry leadership
Since 1894, the mining engineering program has coordinated efforts to promote and publicize new knowledge and has provided outreach to the larger mining community. "The Mining Bulletin," first created in 1894, was published to the benefit of the mining industry, and former Penn State President George Atherton served on the publication's board of managers. The bulletin comprised articles on technology written by members of the community, and it was distributed free of charge to anyone interested.
In the mid-20th century, several other programs were created at Penn State to promote best practices and keep professionals up-to-date with new mining techniques. A series of short courses were made available in the 1970s through the 1990s for miners across the country. Additionally, through the Miner Training Program, established in the 1970s, Penn State assists mining companies across the Pennsylvania by providing training in areas such as ground control, ventilation and safe work practices to mine employees. The Miner Training Program is supported by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and Pennsylvania's Bureau of Mine Safety, a division of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
The mining engineering program's leadership extended to professional organizations. Multiple Penn State faculty — Stefanko, Falkie and Ramani — have been presidents of SME, which is the largest professional organization for mining engineers with 15,500 members worldwide. Several others have served as president of the American Institute of Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME), which represents over 150,000 professionals worldwide in the areas of mining, materials research, iron and steel, and petroleum engineering.
Government also sought the expertise of many Penn State mining engineering faculty. Falkie left Penn State in 1974 to serve as director of the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Mines. Edward Steidle, who served as dean of EMS from 1928 through 1953, was appointed on separate occasions by both President Dwight Eisenhower and President John Kennedy to serve as chairman of the Federal Coal Mine Safety Board of Review. Steidle, Mitchell and Hartman received Presidential appointments to serve as chair of the Federal Metal and Nonmetallic Mine Safety Board, and Kohler was appointed to head the government's mine safety and health research program at NIOSH.
Several mining engineering faculty and alumni were elected fellows of the National Academy of Engineering, the highest honor for engineers in the United States. Twenty-three researchers have been elected to the NAE for their contributions to the mining industry, and seven of these are current or former Penn State mining engineering professors: Falkie, Ramani, Suboleski, Aplan, Ramani, Richard Hogg and Derek Elsworth.
Penn State alumni have also been leaders within the industry — more than 70 alumni have risen to the rank of president or CEO of their company.
Students and faculty have the opportunity to tap into this industry expertise through the G. Albert Shoemaker Lecture in Mineral Engineering series. The series was established in 1992 by Mercedes G. Shoemaker to honor her husband, a Penn State mechanical engineering alumnus who was president of CONSOL Energy and served as a Penn State trustee for more than 20 years. The series has brought presidents, vice presidents and CEOs of major energy companies and governmental organizations (MSHA, NIOSH and the United States Geological Survey) to the University Park campus to speak on critical topics in the mining industry, such as safety and energy security.
Hands-on experiences through industry ties
Practicums, internships and co-op experiences have been part of the mining engineering curriculum since the first courses were offered in the 1890s. According to the 1893-94 course catalog that is available in the Eberly Family Special Collections Library, two weeks at the end of every year were devoted to "practice in the field or in machine shops," where students got experience with underground and above-ground surveying techniques, and mine inspection.
By the 1920s, travel to local mines had become an integral part of the curriculum: "Visits of Inspection to Mines, Furnaces, Etc." was a required course to complete the mining engineering program during the 1920-21 school year. By the 1960s, a "student trainee" program was initiated by Howard Hartman. In this program, students completed the degree in five years by alternating periods of employment in industry and course work at Penn State. According to the 1960-61 course catalog, "numerous mining and manufacturing companies as well as governmental agencies [were] co-operating with the University" to provide employment to students.
Those industry ties have strengthened over the years, as practical experience is common through internships and co-ops. In 2015, 80 percent of undergraduate students had an internship or co-op, and job placement is close to 100 percent, said Kohler.
"We are fortunate to have a very strong collaboration with mining companies, manufacturers and government agencies, as well as a large and very much engaged group of alumni who work with our students and provide internships as well as full-time employment opportunities," said Kohler.
Those internships and co-ops expose students to a wide range of assignments they may complete as a mining engineer, working in a variety of locations and with numerous commodities. There are nearly 14,000 mines in the USA extracting more than 75 different commodities. Worldwide, those numbers increase to nearly 200 commodities being mined at tens of thousands of facilities. Mining contributes nearly 15 percent to the domestic and 25 percent to the global economies, and mined products are ubiquitous in society — from their use in agriculture, manufacturing and construction, to pharmaceuticals, solar cells and electric cars.
"The demand for mined products, and at the same time, the challenges to mine in a profitable, safe and environmentally responsible way have never been greater. Graduates from our program will continue a 125-year tradition of excellence and technological innovation that will put them and the U.S. industry second to none," said Kohler.

By Tim Seely, Javier Fernandez, Chris Sotomayor, Carlos M. Mangual
This is the question Dick and we, as the readers, must ask ourselves when reading this issue.
The Parliament of Owls is suspicious of Grayson's commitment to their organization and so has teamed him up with someone with few moral qualms, if any.
Raptor is a mix of Bronze Tiger and Midnighter, someone who does whatever it takes to get the job done while playing the long game. He is ahead of Dick Grayson already, but is willing to teach him a few things so they can both get the leg up on the Parliament but doing so will test Dick's resolve.
Yet again, I'm so thankful for Rebirth for the rare opportunities its given to titles like this to forge ahead stronger than before. Although its hard to top Grayson when it was at its peak, Nightwing easily serves as a worthy successor which is funny because this is arguably what Dick Grayson should be doing. He's still traveling the world and doing espionage missions, but "out in the open" as Nightwing. Seely maintains this vibrant energy that was present in Grayson but also finds ways to play to Dick's strengths as a crimefighter.
Together with artist Javier Fernandez, the art is as breezy and fun as the story. It's not super heavy or detailed, it's just as much that's needed to get the point across but with Fernandez playing with the camera at all times to keep the reader's eye moving across the page and feeling the movements of the characters themselves. Sotomayor on colors helps with this using a wide range of colors and tertiary hues that give the book a youthfulness and accentuates the rich environments that Dick is traveling in.
The plot is political, but not in a very pedestrian way by just mocking a presidential candidate or whatever is on CSPAN at the moment. It's subtle, and historical, and kind of real but without beating you over the head with it's message. It works as a nice test of the limits Dick will go to beat the Parliament and if Raptor is the guy to help him do it.

The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary:
Dec. 8, 2012
Gen 3:9-15, 20; Ps 98; Eph 1:3-6, 11-12; Luke 1:26-38
"Where are you?" we hear the Lord God call to Adam in the first reading. "Where are you?" For we read in the previous verse that the Lord is walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and Eve have hidden themselves. On previous days, surely, they had run out to meet their beloved Creator with joy as soon as they perceived his presence near them. But now they have sinned for the first time. They have allowed fear and greed and lies to drive a wedge between them and God, and to reshape them in that twisted image; to place that stain upon their hearts, and upon human nature itself which they would pass on to their descendents forever after. Suspecting, accusing, hiding, lying, taking, killing: all of this and more in the stain of original sin.
Thousands of years later, someone else is looking for someone: for the Lord has sent the mighty archangel Gabriel, not only to earth, but to a remote province of the Roman Empire, to the little town of Nazareth, to a simple girl probably in her early teens. And the Virgin Mary does not hide; she does not lie; she is not at all ashamed. "Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you," he says to her—in an unparalleled address of great honor from an angel to a mere human being. No wonder she was troubled by it. For she had always loved God, always trusted him, always sought his presence in prayer and worship and quiet contemplation; but this was an intimacy of enormous and dizzying proportions! No wonder she pondered what sort of greeting this might be.
But she did not hide; she did not flee; she did not close up and pull back and turn away. No, to this invitation that surpassed anything she could have ever expected; that went beyond the limits of her understanding; that promised human dangers that she could imagine all too easily—she listened; and she said yes. "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word."
But how? How did she stay open, when her first parents and ours, and so many after them, had hidden themselves? Because the Lord had preserved her from their stain. By a singular grace and privilege, from the first moment of her conception, she was preserved immune from all stain of original sin. (Pope Pius IX, in CCC 491) Alone among the human race she was free from that stain; alone among the human race, she would therefore let herself be filled with grace. Tota pulchra es, Maria, et macula non est in te: You are all beautiful, O Mary, and there is no stain in you.
But why? Why would God give our Lady this singular grace? And here we enter into precisely where Adam and Eve went wrong. For he was not motivated by any sort of grasping self-interest; nor by any form of necessity, as if he were forced to take this step to accomplish some objective—even the objective of saving the human race. No, this lavish gift was utterly free. And the only way we can explain it is by love; sheer love; which the Son showered upon the one he was choosing to be his mother, even as he was creating her as her God: that he would make her all beautiful and all love.
Naturally, our Lady's first reaction to this grace was awe and trembling. But that did not last long. Soon enough, she would be singing to her relative St. Elizabeth:
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. (Luke 1:46-49)
And the great things that our Lord did for the Virgin Mary foreshadowed the great things that he would do for us. That he preserved her free from that stain, pointed toward the day when he would wash you and me clean from it in the font of baptism; and wash us again and again in confession. And as beautiful as he made her, so he also wants to make us, in time: all beautiful and all love.
If we will only open our hands and our hearts to his grace, the same grace that showered upon her, soon we too will be singing with St. Paul:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in Christ
with every spiritual blessing in the heavens,
as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world,
to be holy and without blemish before him.
Can we trust him—to make us new? Ask the Blessed Mother. And what does she say? "Do whatever he tells you." (John 2:5)
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!

Book Reviews: Searching for David's Heart - A Christmas Story by Cherie Bennettcategories: Books, Children's Books, People & Places, Social Issues, Death & Dying, childrens books
Author: Cherie Bennett
Publisher: Scholastic Paperbacks
Really GoodI think it is about how you should make something better about your problem not be all dramatic and make it worse. Sometimes you complain about things and you don't realize what you have and what happens to other people in life. So my opinion is to give this book a try and if you don't like it then find something else to read. [by kieara]
The Sadest Book and the Most Marvelous at the Same TimeMy opinion about this book is that it talks about realistic stuff that happens throughout this world. I think that this book talks about that if you make a mistake you should fix it even if it is too late - there is always another chance to undo the things that you do. So read this book because you'll be amazed about the kinds of adventure that this girl gets into.
A Lost Heart Found by Great Words...This book has an amazing plot! The characters are also very well defined and their actions bring us more and more to the conclusion of how they act. For example, Dee-Dee's constant emotions of anger that she could not control and guiltiness she had with the situation may bring us the idea that she will probably have a meltdown now and then. Each chapter and/or scene is very interesting. Another thing I'd like to say is how much I admire David's relationship with her sister. By the way they supported each other was extraordinary because with any brothers or sisters they would constantly fight but David's relationship was definitely different. [by Estefania Torres]
Tear Jerker!Oh I just loved this book! I bought it because my sister bought this "Scholastic" thing from school and I had seen the movie in 2004. Get ready to cry a lot. I wanted to cry but I couldn't because I was in my sister's school with all her friends around but save this book for a rainy day, sit in your bed with the covers up to your neck and a gigantic box of tissues next to you. I would also recommend a freezing cold bowl of "Rocky Road" Ice cream next to you. (My favorite, it can be your favorite ice cream if you don't like "Rocky Road" which I think would be impossible!) Ha, Ha. Well I think Sam and David are both great characters.
David should have been a little more careful about giving that necklace to Darcy, you know the one the J-word had. I don't know what I would do if that would have happened to me, but she could have controlled just a little bit her emotions, just a little bit. In my opinion the J-word had it coming. I'd recommend this book with my eyes closed, it's a great and beautiful story. Oh and I recommend the movie too. Daniel Panabaker did an excellent job. And Ricky Ollman was great as Sam, the great "Samdini". Ha, Ha. I just love it I hope people appreciate this book as much as I did and do.

great trail but watch out between mile markers 18.5 to 16. There are some bumps that will loosen your molars, not to mention damage your bicycle. Wish someone would grind them down.
Absolutely wonderful!!!! Rain AND Shine!
Easy to use paths and connects seamlessly with Roswell River trail!
Beautiful trail, just not maintained from Piedmont's area of responsibility and Cleburne county's area of responsibility. Safe to use at lower speeds on road bikes, or best if mountain bikes. Sever bumps from roots, will toss you from the cycle. Large cracks in Cleburne county that tires on road bikes can get caught in. Be safe, ride slow, be observant. Still a great ride.
Overall this trail is best for connections. The north side is a great bike/walk trail where you can freely bike/walk at least a few feet removed from the street and it's aesthetically nice even for a trail that runs between an interstate and a service road. As a connection to the trails along the Chattahoochee it's excellent but wouldnt really stand on its own other than being a nice side street trail. The south is a glorified sidewalk that connects the Bob Callan to Akers Mill shopping center, Cumberland Mall, etc.
My wife and I did this simple loop around the city at an avg of 11mph. One of the most pleasant enjoyable rides Ive ever had. We have Trek ebikes but also have regular bikes. We rode ebikes this time. Shouldnt be any issue for anyone. Awesome flow through many different types of areas.
Rode 40 miles from Piedmont back toward Jacksonville , then from the state line to Cedartown, GA. Love this trail had lunch in Piedmont at Shells downtown, wow!!!! Highly recommend. Only open Wednesday thru Saturday
Our family has walked a out half-way so far. We did this for something different. We plan to do the whole trail soon. my son and I will be taking a fishing pole next time.
On our 50th wedding anniversary trip from Michigan to Gulf Shores we stopped at Piedmont and rode the Chief Ladiga trail to the start of the Silver Comet. Beautiful sunny day and quite warm. The trail is definitely a slight easy uphill grade going east. The lack of any restroom facilities at the junction of Chief Ladiga and the Silver Comet trails was very disappointing as was the lack of places to stop and see the beauty that surrounds. There's some rough spots caused by roots but not so bad as to cause a problem.
It was a great day to be on a trail for a walk. The west end of this trail is at Manor Crest Court, not far from East Cobb Park. A paved but narrow sidewalk continues past that point going west. Heading east toward Roswell, the trail is a wide concrete path. The first significant point of interest is East Cobb Park where the trail crosses over Sewell Mill Creek. This is a nice park with ample parking. At this point there are trees on both sides of the road. The trail winds alongside Roswell Road going uphill toward Robinson Road where there begins to be businesses on both sides of the road and some intersections that require caution crossing. Traffic can be heavy and fast moving. Once past East Side Elementary school and Indian Hills Parkway, the trail is flat and easy. A stop at the small Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery is worthwhile to remember when this area was much different. A bike shop and several eating places are at this end of the trail which is at Seven Springs Circle, the eastern side of the Seven Springs subdivision. To this point, the distance is right at 1.5 miles, but the widened sidewalk continues on, allowing opportunities to follow either Roswell Road or Johnson Ferry. This is a short trail with a good bit of traffic and some tedious intersections, but a very worthwhile venue for some exercise. It is well marked and maintained except for a few small portions.
As part of a local heritage festival (Welshfest mid March annually) we checked out fest, music, tearoom, vendors, and biked from Rockmart to Coots Lake and back. Quick 10 miles RT and scenic. Loved the babbling creek, slate yards, craggy walls, tunnels, lake and caves. Cool stretch of trail from the best trail town on the route. Trailhead is on town square which offers South Marble coffee shop, Solis sandwich shop, Spice Street Cafe, cupcakery, museums, shops, a Slate House, green space, park, and weekly farmers market. Heard an airbnb is brewing. Meanwhile camping & mini cabins available at the Rock campground.
I guess you could call this a trail. It's more like a path through an abandoned industrial park. Ladies - please don't walk behind these buildings by yourself.
TrailLink is a free service provided by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (a non-profit) and we need your support!

Lumineers® Porcelain Veneers – Milwaukee WI
Want to improve the look of your smile with less hassle? Lumineers are the no-prep solution for your cosmetic dentistry needs! Like traditional veneers, Lumineers attach to the front of your teeth, discretely giving your smile a brand new look. Without the need for any shots or drilling, these ultra thin veneers are minimally invasive.
In addition to a more natural look, one of the most attractive benefits of Lumineers is that there is no need for local anesthesia during your procedure! Since you do not need any tooth structure removed, you can rest easy & do not need to worry about pain or shots. This is a rare benefit that is not found in many restorative or cosmetic dental services. If you are averse to needles or simply have dental anxiety, Lumineers are a great way to upgrade your smile without fear.
What Are Lumineers®?
Though regular veneers are known for requiring less preparation & tooth removal than dental crowns, they still involve some level of dental intrusion. By contrast, Lumineers don't require any tooth structure removal at all. Because they are made of a thinner, more durable kind of porcelain, they can slide over your original tooth without adding too much extra bulk.
Advantages of Lumineers
Ordinary veneers have a minimum thickness of 0.5mm while Lumineers can be as thin as 0.2–0.3mm. The difference may seem insignificant, but it actually makes a huge difference when it comes to the look of your teeth. Even just a few too many fractions of a millimeter added to your teeth can create an awkward, artificial looking smile. This is why dentists have to shave down a tooth before it can get a veneer. Because they are smaller than regular veneers, Lumineers® reduce or eliminate the likelihood of an unnatural look.
Another advantage of Lumineers is that you won't need to wear temporary veneers while you wait for your permanent veneers to be milled by the dental lab. After an initial old-fashioned veneer appointment, you need to wear temporaries until your next appointment in order to protect your now-sensitive tooth & to cover up its misshapen appearance. These temporaries are not custom-made by a dental lab & may not blend well with your smile. As a result, many patients are dissatisfied with the look & feel of temporary veneers.
Procedure Overview
Your first Lumineers appointment is faster, simpler & will not leave you with unsightly teeth & temporaries. All we need is a dental impression to send to a Lumineers lab. When your ultra thin veneer is ready a couple weeks later, we will have you come back to get it attached.
Lumineers attach more strongly to your teeth than ordinary veneers. This is because they don't require any tooth trimming. When a dentist removes enamel to attach veneers, there is a risk of exposing dentin, the inner structure of the tooth. Veneers do not bond nearly as well to dentin as they do to enamel. Since you do not have to worry about exposed dentin with Lumineers, you can be sure that your restoration is secure.
Lumineers are very durable, but you still need to take good care of them if you want them to last. We can advise you about what foods you should avoid. You also need to maintain a high level of oral hygiene, including brushing twice a day, flossing at least once a day & coming to us for your regularly scheduled checkups. With proper care, your Lumineers can last well over ten years.

Wind Farm Interference Showing Up on Doppler Radar
Author: | Technology, U.S., Wisconsin
During late 2008 and early 2009, an energy wind farm consisting of 36 turbines began operation in east central Dodge county on Butler Ridge in Herman township. This is about 2 miles east of Iron Ridge, just north of Rubicon and just south of Mayville and Theresa.
Butler Ridge has an elevation of 1170 feet above mean sea level, which is about 300 feet above the elevation of the town of Hustisford, located just to the west. The Butler Ridge wind farm is about 30 miles directly north of the Weather Surveillance Doppler Radar located at the National Weather Service office near Sullivan (KMKX) in far eastern Jefferson county.
Unfortunately, the Butler Ridge wind farm and its turbines are within the radar line of sight (RLOS) of the NWS doppler radar in eastern Jefferson county. The height of the wind turbine towers are about 260 feet above the ground, and the turbine blades are about 300 feet in diameter. Hence the top of the wind turbine rotors are about 400 feet above the ground on Butler Ridge.
At this height, the rotating turbine blades of the wind farm impact the KMKX Doppler Radar beam. As you can see in the above image depicting most of southeast Wisconsin, the rotating wind turbines are having an affect on the radar beam.
A small part of the electromagnetic energy radar beam sent from the radar is reflected back by the rotating turbines. The radar processes this "returned energy" as an area of precipitation and plots it accordingly on the map. This contamination of the base reflectivity image as illustrated in the below image, has an effect on the radar algorithms used to estimate rainfall and to detect certain storm characteristics.
The rotating turbines also impact the velocity base data as you can see from the below image. This velocity data is used by radar operators and by a variety of algorithms in the radar's data processors to detect certain storm characteristics such as mesocyclones, tornado vortex signatures, and relative storm motion.
The KMKX doppler radar has a sophisticated clutter/interference removal scheme, however the scheme was designed to filter out spurious returned (reflected) energy that has little or no motion. This is effective for removing the returned signals from terrain, buildings, and other non-moving structures. Unfortunately, the radar sees the rotating wind turbine blades as targets having reflectivity and motion, hence processes these returns as weather.
The below two hour animation from the evening of April 1, between 915 pm and 11 pm CDT shows the persistent interference from the Butler Ridge wind turbine farm on the KMKX base reflectivity radar image.
Wind turbine clutter or interference that shows up on the base reflectivity and velocity images produced by the doppler radar can have several impacts including:
- Thunderstorm or winter storm characteristics could be masked or misinterpreted, reducing warning effectiveness in the vicinity of, and downrange of the wind farm.
- False signatures contaminating Doppler velocity data in the vicinity and downrange of the wind energy facility could reduce forecaster's situational awarness, particularly during hazardous/severe weather events.
- Data masking or contamination if thunderstorms develop over the wind farm may negatively impact warning effectiveness.
- False precipitation estimates could negatively impact flash-flood warning effectiveness.
The best mitigation technique is to avoid locating wind turbines in the radar line of sight (RLOS) of the doppler radar. The National Weather Service is conducting an outreach program to ensure the wind energy industry and developers are aware of NWS Doppler Radar locations and the potential impacts on radar data. The NWS Radar Operations Center (ROC) works with these developers and suggests mitigation options to consider.
The NWS continues to learn about wind farm impacts on radars, weather forecast office operations, and other users where radars and wind farms are already in close proximity. Based on this information, the NWS will develop training materials for radar operators and weather forecasters on how to identify, mitigate, and partially work around wind turbine impacts during forecast and warning operations.
For much more information on how wind turbines impact doppler weather radar, check out the ROC website.
