![]() This is essentially a communications relay satellite, which the Space Force says will support operations by augmenting "existing military satellite communication capabilities and continuously broadcast military data through space-based satellite relay links." Advertisement The first of the two vehicles on board is named CBAS-2, for Continuous Broadcast Augmenting SATCOM. This will be the second Falcon Heavy mission for the US Space Force, and the rocket will be carrying two payloads into geostationary orbit. As early as Saturday, from Florida, the first of potentially five launches of the heavy lift rocket this year could take place.įirst up is the USSF-67 mission. However the main reason for the low cadence has been due to a lack of readiness of payloads for the new rocket, particularly from the US Department of Defense.īut now this trickle of Falcon Heavy launches may turn into a flood. ![]() Another factor is that SpaceX has increased the performance of its Falcon 9 rocket so much that it can complete a lot of the missions originally manifested on the Falcon Heavy. Why? It's partly because there is simply not all that much demand for a heavy lift rocket. Since then, however, SpaceX's heavy lift rocket has flown just three additional times. “Just don’t blow up the pad.Original post: Nearly five years have passed since the massive Falcon Heavy rocket made its successful debut launch in February 2018. ![]() “If we get far enough away from launch pad before something goes wrong, then I think I would consider that to be a success,” Musk said during a Twitter “Spaces” event on Sunday. He added that if the Super Heavy booster were to explode on the launch pad, it could melt the steel infrastructure surrounding it, and SpaceX would have to spend a few months rebuilding the launch site. In the lead-up to Monday’s liftoff, Musk sought to temper expectations, saying, “Success is not what should be expected. The test flight comes after years of explosive tests, regulatory hurdles and public hyping from SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. The spacecraft is expected to splash down off the coast about an hour and a half after liftoff. The vehicle will then complete nearly one full lap of the planet, reentering the Earth’s atmosphere near Hawaii. The Starship will use its own engines, blazing for more than six minutes, to propel itself to nearly orbital speeds. When launch does occur, the Super Heavy booster is expected to expend its fuel about two and a half minutes after liftoff and separate from the Starship spacecraft, leaving the booster to be discarded in the ocean. The NASA Space Launch System rocket, for example, underwent four attempts to complete a wet dress rehearsal and two launch attempts before the vehicle finally took off in November 2022. It’s common for first-time launches to be delayed as engineers hash out issues that may not have become apparent during prior testing. If the company were to move forward with liftoff, mission controllers would give the rocket a final “go” for launch at T-30 seconds, according to SpaceX principal integration engineer John Insprucker. They ultimately paused the countdown clock with 40 seconds left. The team continued to execute some launch operations and kept the countdown clock going in a practice run referred to as a “wet dress rehearsal,” even after making the decision to wave off the launch attempt. “A pressurant valve appears to be frozen, so unless it starts operating soon, no launch today,” SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted. On Monday, the massive Super Heavy rocket booster, which houses 33 engines, was expected to roar to life and vault the Starship spacecraft off its ground pad, which lies within SpaceX facilities on the coast of South Texas, sending the vehicle soaring out over the Gulf of Mexico.īut the launch was called off due to what the SpaceX broadcast said was a pressurization issue. The company will livestream the launch attempt on its website, starting about 45 minutes before liftoff. SpaceX will have a Thursday launch window that opens at 8:28 a.m. Starship was left grounded on its launchpad in South Texas on Monday morning because of a technical issue, delaying the vehicle’s historic first launch attempt. SpaceX is now targeting Thursday for the next attempt to get Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built, off the ground. ![]() Captain Kelly said they haven’t really had any clear incidents reported to them. Next to come up is another issue on everybody’s mind: hate crimes. The newly reformed Race Relations Council, a citizen advisory group made up of diverse community members is a step in the right direction that helps make sure that the Police force is hearing from everyone. Working to make sure new Lowellians know their rights is a priority, as is avoiding discrimination and implicit bias at work in the actions of officers. They also try hard to do outreach to new groups, including building a good relationship with the Islamic Society of Greater Lowell. ![]() Another representative, following up on that, suggested more translation at community meetings.Īdditional questions along these lines clarified that they just hired their first Arabic speaking officer. If someone calls in needing help from the police, it’s challenging in Lowell to cover all languages, but they have access to resources. If someone is being interviewed by the police, they do have the right to be interviewed in their own language. He did go on to say that, though he had no strong opinion about it, he thought that the current system works well and didn’t really see further steps as necessary.Ī representative from the International Institute asked for clarification about access to interpreters. Chief Taylor had clearly anticipated this question, and he explained that, as far as he’s concerned, that’s a question for the City Council. The question was raised by a representative from the emerging group Solidarity Lowell. Right out of the gate, the first question was about this possibility, and it came up several more times. Efforts like this are one of the things people are describing when they talk about becoming a “Sanctuary City” which actively tries to protect people living there from federal government deportation. Other cities, including Lawrence, have passed a “Trust Act” which limits their collaboration with ICE. The police in Lowell do collaborate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when ICE reaches out to them, but they don’t routinely reach out to them to try to remove otherwise law-abiding members of the community. However, when they arrest someone, they do run a check, and it’s likely that problems would come up there. They say they don’t routinely run immigration checks in any of those cases. In essence: regardless of your immigration status, the police want you to feel comfortable reporting a crime, calling emergency services, or asking for help. ![]() Then he read a prepared statement, clarifying the LPD’s policy on immigration status.

Discussion in ' Off Topic ' started by boskapongen. Early on, you have the choice to drive for already set up teams in new classes rather than having to buy and maintain your own new vehicle. It's not a necessity to race for your own team all the time, though. Released on June 9th, DiRT 4 is the spiritual successor to the early Colin McRae Rally games created by Codemasters and released to popular acclaim from the gaming public back in the mid to late 1990's. If you don't, you end up with poor relationships. Codemasters have released a small hotfix update for DiRT 4 recently, addressing a number of issues and updating the game to version 1.04. ![]() Setting up a team requires getting sponsors and then keeping them happy by meeting certain targets.

Initially, you're limited to "basic" team members, who are lesser-skilled. As you would if you were setting up a real rally team, you need a co-driver (legend Nicky Grist is provided for you), and you need a team around you of engineers. It's not exactly a slog, either, with all categories of racing unlocked without much game time required.Ĭareer mode gives you the chance to set up your own team, which is more than just sticking your name on a car. Talk about the games achievements and set up Gaming Sessions to earn them. Ultimately, it's a ladder to climb, but in this instance the further you go the more licenses you unlock and the more fun things you can drive. Got questions about DiRT 4 Come and discuss them on the official game forum. I say mostly because there are points at which you get the freedom to choose the type of race you're going to enter, the series and location, and the car you drive. The core of the Dirt 4 experience is the single-player career mode, which follows a mostly linear path. ![]() ![]() Recipients of CalFresh, California’s version of the federal food stamp program, were given the maximum benefits available for their household size during the pandemic, or at least $95 more a month if they were already at the maximum. Instead of functioning as sources of emergency aid, food banks say they are becoming long-term supermarkets for Californians facing food insecurity. That is reducing benefits to 5.3 million Californians - and prompting the statewide food banks association to warn of a “catastrophic hunger crisis” this year. “I’m requesting more food every month at my distributions.”Ĭalifornia food banks, which saw more families seeking help during the pandemic, are now serving more people every month as extra benefits started during the pandemic come to an end. “With inflation going up and CalFresh food assistance going down, I see people in their 20s to people of retirement age all coming out for help,” said Geo Dinoso, who manages distributions for the food bank. The Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, which organizes the Vallejo distribution, is serving 350,000 people every month across the two counties - double the 175,000 people it served per month before the pandemic. Santiago is one of the thousands of Californians visiting food banks this year, some for the very first time. “When you go to Savers or the Filipino grocery, $50 is hardly enough.” And I’ll cook chicken adobo with the chicken and vegetables,” said Santiago, who visited the distribution Wednesday for the first time this month and expects to return again. While Whitney Houston songs play over a speaker, volunteers load 39 pounds of food into each trunk - canned tuna, eggs, potatoes and other staples.Įlvira Santiago, a retired medical assistant living in senior housing, is particularly excited about the bag of apples. Every two weeks, cars line up at The Hill Church in Vallejo for a drive-thru food distribution. Whereas Diablo 3 is more geared towards casual players, Path of Exile is more demanding, punishing and complex. In many ways, Path of Exile feels more like a Diablo 2 sequel than Diablo 3. Its gameplay and aesthetics are very similar to Diablo 3’s but Path of Exile aims for an even bigger focus on visceral combat, powerful items, and deep character customization. Path of Exile is an action RPG set in a dark fantasy world. And while the jury is still out on that, Path of Exile is arguable just as good and completely free to play.

Our total depth (2000 ft.) and gradient (0.425 psi/ft.) are the same as before. If the fluid doesn’t reach the surface, then there is some ‘fluid level’, or depth, where the pressure is zero and then the pressure increases according to the gradient. Pressure depth = 850 psi + 150 psi = 1000 psi. ![]() If my surface pressure was 150 psi, then the pressure at depth would increase by the same amount: If the pressure at surface isn’t zero, then the whole line shifts over according to the surface pressure.įrom the previous example, a gradient of 0.425 psi/ft at 2000 ft. and my gradient is 0.425 psi/ft, then my pressure is 2000 ft. Obviously, denser fluids, and therefore higher fluid gradients result in higher pressure.įor example, if my depth is 2000 ft. We can draw this on a graph that we call the pressure-depth plot. To find a pressure at a given depth, simply multiply the VERTICAL depth by the given fluid gradient.Īssuming that the fluid is incompressible, this is a linear relationship. If you are given the API gravity of oil instead of the SG, then use this formula: Most of the time you will not be given a fluid gradient or an average specific gravity, you will need to calculate it.įirst calculate your average specific gravity:Īverage SG = SG of water x Water Cut + SG of oil x (1-Water Cut) NB: Specific Gravity is always relative to pure water. To convert to gradient:Ġ.433 is the gradient for pure water (SG = 1) in Imperial units, remember it. Pressure gradient seems difficult, but it is simply using the density of the fluid and converting units: Pressure gradients for incompressible fluids have units of pressure/depth. The easiest way to calculate pressure from depth is to use the pressure gradient of the given fluid. Your understanding of the concept is crucial. “Pressure and Depth” is the FUNDAMENTAL relationship in the oil industry. ![]() Next, make a directory for Drupal with this command: sudo mkdir /var/www/drupal (Make sure to append to drupaluser otherwise you’ll get a database error when you try to start Drupal for the first time.) Now that you’ve got your Drupal database and your Drupal database user, you’ll need to grant the user all permissions on the database (again, the password goes within the quotation marks, and is case sensitive): GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON drupal.* TO IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’ Then create a password for your new user (note that your password will actually go within the quotation marks, and is case-sensitive): SET PASSWORD FOR drupaluser = PASSWORD(“password”) While still in the MySQL command line client, type this: CREATE USER drupaluser ![]() Once the database is created, you’ll need to create a database user for Drupal to use.

(Note that it’s a good idea to back up any system configuration file before editing it. To edit nf, use the following command: sudo -H gedit /etc/apache2/nf I’ve read differing things about this, but I have found in my own testing that Drupal would not function properly without it, since Apache did not properly interpret the PHP pages otherwise. Now that we’ve got our software installed and downloaded, we’ll need to configure it.įirst, you’ll probably need to add a line to your /etc/apache2/nf file. You can obtain it from here on the site.

Then install the MySQL module for PHP: sudo apt-get install php5-mysql Next, install PHP version 5: sudo apt-get install php5 MySQL is a big package, and depending on your connection and computer speed, it might take a while to install. For obvious reasons, you’ll want to remember this password, not least because we need it again in the following steps.
