TanSat (Chinese Carbon Dioxide Observation Satellite Mission)
Overview Spacecraft Launch Sensor Complement Ground Segment References
The TanSat (CarbonSat, Tan means "carbon" in Chinese) mission is the first minisatellite of China dedicated to the carbon dioxide (CO2) detection and monitoring. The project was proposed in the Chinese national program in 2010, and officially kicked off in January 2011. TanSat is funded by MOST (Ministry of Science and Technology) of China.
The project includes 4 research topics: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6)
• A high-resolution Carbon Dioxide Spectrometer for measuring the near-infrared absorption by CO2
• CAPI (Cloud and Aerosol Polarimetry Imager) to compensate the CO2 measurement errors by high-resolution measurement of cloud and aerosol
• A spacecraft equipped with the two instruments, capable of performing scientific observations in multiple ways as mission required
• A ground segment which receives observation data and retrieves the atmosphere column-averaged CO2 dry air mole fraction (XCO2), and performs data validation by ground-based CO2 monitoring.
CAS (Chinese Academy of Sciences) undertakes the leading role of funding in the satellite development, with two scientific instruments designed and manufactured by CIOMP/CAS (Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics/Chinese Academy of Sciences), located in Changchun, China. The satellite platform is developed by SIMIT (Shanghai Institute of Microsystems and Information Technology), which is also responsible for the overall satellite assembly, integration and testing. NSMC (National Satellite Meteorological Center) of CMA (China Meteorological Administration) is responsible for the ground segment and final data products. - The project includes also international partners: The University of Leicester and the University of Edinburgh, UK.
The main objective of the TanSat mission is to retrieve the atmosphere column-averaged CO2 dry air mole fraction (XCO2) with precisions of 1% (4 ppm) on national and global scales. The scientific goal of the project is to improve the understanding on the global CO2 distribution and its contribution to the climate change, and also to monitor the CO2 variation on seasonal time scales.
The following system requirements pertain to the TanSat mission:
1) The TanSat satellite shall fly in a sun-synchronous orbit at 13:30 hours, with a revisit period shorter than 16 days; the deviation of the equator crossing time shall be shorter than 15 minutes during 3 years.
2) The TanSat satellite shall be able to carry out nadir observations, sun-glint observations, and target observations.
3) The TanSat satellite shall be able to perform in-orbit spectrometric calibration and radiometric calibration for both instruments, Carbon Dioxide Spectrometer and CAPI, with an absolute accuracy of 5%, and a relative accuracy of 3%.
4) The localization accuracy of each instrument shall be better than one pixel.
5) The observation data shall be transmitted to the ground within eight hours.
6) The atmosphere column-averaged CO2 dry air mole fraction (XCO2) shall be retrieved with precisions of 1% (4 ppm).
7) A ground-based CO2 monitoring network shall be set up, with CO2 detection accuracy of 0.2 ppmv.
8) The TanSat satellite shall operate in orbit for at least three years.

The TanSat minisatellite is designed and developed at SIMIT (Shanghai Institute of Microsystems and Information Technology). The configuration of TanSat is as shown in Figure 1. The payload is accommodated on the +Xs side of the platform, with the instrument boresight pointing to the +Zs. The solar arrays are on the ±Ys side of TanSat, with the solar cells always pointing to the –Xs after deployment. The overall volume of the TanSat satellite is about 150 cm (Ys) x 180 cm (Zs) x 185 cm (Xs). The launch mass of TanSat is about 500 kg (including 10 kg propellant), the design life is 3 years.
The pointing strategy of TanSat is rather complex due to the different requirements of the observation tasks. TanSat is designed to have eleven pointing modes as defined in Table 2. The pointing modes from No.1 to No.9 are designed with regard to the requirements of different observation tasks specified in the above. The Forward Nadir Pointing is also designed as a nominal pointing in the umbra times. The Solar Panel Pointing is dedicated to battery charging, especially in satellite safe mode. 7)

Table 2: Summary of TanSat pointing modes
AOCS (Attitude and Orbit Control Subsystem): TanSat is a three-axis stabilized spacecraft. The architecture of the attitude control subsystem includes:
• Actuators: 4 reaction wheels, 4 torque-rods, 4 hydrazine thrusters
• Sensors: 3 sun sensors, 2 three-axial magnetometers, 2 star trackers, 2 gyros, 1 GPS receiver.
AOCS exploits these sensors and actuators and is capable of attitude determination and stabilized mission pointing specified as follows:
• Attitude pointing accuracy: ≤ 0.1º
• Attitude measurement accuracy: ≤ 0.03º
• Pointing stability: ≤ 0.001º/s.
EPS (Electric Power Subsystem): The power subsystem manages the generation, storage and distribution of the electrical power needed by the spacecraft subsystems. By different combinations of observation tasks during one orbit, there are many different cases of power consumption and generation for the onboard battery. Based on analysis of all possible combinations, the TanSat is equipped with solar panels of 10 m2 in size, which ensures an end of life power generation of 1790 W. A high performance Li-battery is selected for power storage, with an overall capacity of 80 Ah. The nominal bus voltage is 28 V.
OBDH (OnBoard Data Handling) subsystem: TanSat has a centralized high performance data handling system, with a TSC695F CPU for central command control. The onboard computer controls and commands the activities of all the other satellite subsystems, and fulfils functions including flight dynamics control, AOCS data processing, payload data management, telemetry control, power and thermal control, and so on. The onboard computer communicates with the payload computer and other subsystems through the CAN bus. Figure 2 shows the EM (Engineering Model) of the TanSat onboard computer.
Figure 2: Engineering Model of the OBC (image credit: SIMIT)
Propulsion subsystem: TanSat features a propulsion subsystem to maintain the nominal orbit during the satellite lifetime, especially in terms of the orbit height and the equator crossing local time. Four 1N hydrazine thrusters are placed on the –Xs panel of the platform. A 20 liter capacity tank is selected with 10 kg propellant.
TT&C (Tracking, Telemetry and Telecommand) subsystem: An S-band TM/TC link provides the control and telemetry between TanSat and the ground station for satellite monitoring and control. The subsystem provides bidirectional and full-duplex communication, with an uplink data rate of 2 k bit/s and a downlink data rate of 8.192 kbit/s.
The onboard storage and communication subsystem stores the observation data transmitted through an LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) interface by the payload, and transmits data to the ground stations via an X-band link with a data rate of 64Mbit/s. The capacity of onboard storage is 128 Gbit. Other than an X-band antenna along the +Zs axis, the satellite uses a second tilted antenna to increase the on-board-to-ground communication time during Sun-glint observations, as shown in Figure .

Orbit: Sun-synchronous orbit, altitude of ~ 700 km, inclination = 98.2º, LTAN (Local Time on Ascending Node) = 13:30 hours. The revisit period is 16 days.
Sensor complement: (CarbonSpec, CAPI)
TanSat is equipped with two instruments: Carbon Dioxide Spectrometer and CAPI. To enhance the system efficiency and reliability, the two instruments are integrated into a common structure and electronics device, sharing one common electrical box (Figure 5).
Figure 5: Illustration of the two instruments into a common structure (image credit: CIOMP)
CarbonSpec (Carbon Dioxide Spectrometer):
CarbonSpec is a high-resolution grating spectrometer dedicated to CO2 detection by measuring the near-infrared absorption of CO2 at 1.61 µm and at 2.06 µm, and the molecular oxygen (O2) A-band in reflected sunlight at 0.76 µm. As shown in Figure 5, CarbonSpec is composed of a pointing subsystem, a telescope subsystem, a beam splitter subsystem, a diffraction grating spectrometer subsystem, and an imaging subsystem. Figure 6 and Table3 show the optical schematics and specifications of the Spectrometer, respectively.
Figure 6: Schematic view of CarbonSpec instrument (image credit: CIOMP)
Table 3: Specification of the CarbonSpec observation parameters
The pointing subsystem is a special design of the CarbonSpec. It includes a pointer mirror, one side of which directly reflects the light from the ground to the telescope subsystem, and the other side of the mirror can diffusely reflect the incoming light for radiation calibration of the instrument. The pointer mirror is fixed on a one-dimensional rotation device which can rotate from 0 to 360º. By adjusting the rotation angle, the spectrometer is able to detect the target located from -30º to 10º in cross-track.
Figure 7: Illustration of the pointing subsystem (image credit: CIOMP)
CAPI (Cloud and Aerosol Polarimetry Imager):
The CAPI instrument is a wide FOV (Field of View) moderate resolution imaging spectrometer with polarization channels, used to compensate errors which are caused by clouds and aerosols based on observation in the following spectral bands:
- Ultraviolet: 0.38 µm
- Visible: 0.67 µm
- Near infrared: 0.87, 1.375 and 1.64 µm
Other than the cloud and aerosol detection in the various wavelength bands, CAPI is designed to obtain polarization observation data at 0.67 µm and 1.64 µm in three angles, so as to enhance the retrieval accuracy of the clouds and of aerosols.
CAPI uses six lenses to realize the cloud and aerosol detection in nine channels at 5 spectrum bands. Lens 1 (0.38 µm), lens 2 (0.87 µm and 0.67 µm @ 0º), and lens 3 (0.67 µm @ 60º&120º) constitute the VNIR (Visible Near Infrared) spectrum. Lens 4 (1.375 µm and 1.64 µm), lens 5 (1.64 µm @ 60º), and lens 6 (1.64 µm @ 120º) constitute the SWIR Short Wave Infrared) spectrum.
Figure 8 shows the structure of the VNIR and SWIR and the lens structure. Table 4 gives the specification of the CAPI instrument.

Table 4: Specification of the CAPI spectral parameters
Observation scenarios:
Both instruments collect observation data in pushbroom mode. To meet the mission requirements, the TanSat spacecraft carries out different observation tasks in different scanning configurations. As shown in Figure 9, TanSat is able to perform the following 5 observation modes:
• Nadir mode: observation over land
• Sun-glint mode: observation over the ocean
- Sun glint track
- Principle plane track
• Target mode: observation validation
- Surface target track
- Multi angles for one target.

Figure 10: TanSat sun glint observation mode (image credit: TanSat Team)
Figure 11: TanSat target observation mode (image credit: TanSat Team)
Figure 12: Payload reference frame (image credit: SIMIT, Ref. 7)
• Spectral calibration accuracy: superior to 1/10 FWHM
• Radiometric calibration accuracy: 3%(relative), 5%(absolute) (also for CAPI)
• OBC (OnBoard Calibrator):
- CO2 Spectrometer : LED + solar calibration
- CAPI : LED +lunar + solar calibration.
Nadir observation: In the nadir observation mode, the satellite observes the sub-satellite track by receiving the sunlight reflected of Earth's surface, as shown in Figure 13. In this mode, the satellite can obtain the most of the high-resolution data. It is the nominal mode for CO2 detection of the land surface, since the reflection ratio of land is relatively high compared to the ocean surface.
Figure 13: Schematic view of nadir and sun-glint observations (image credit: CIOMP)
For TanSat, there are two kinds of nadir observation:
1) Nominal nadir observation - scanning the ground surface with the normal of instrument CCD lines orienting along the flight direction, forward or backward. Due to the constraint of satellite design, the satellite needs to quickly slew 180º around the yaw axis while flying over the sub-solar point to keep the sunlight on the side of the solar panel. This slew imposes the most strict maneuver requirement for the satellite: 180º in five minutes (around yaw axis).
2) Principle-plane nadir observation - scanning the ground targets with the instrument boresight within 5º of the principal plane, which is a plane defined with respect to the instrument aperture, the surface target, and the sun. While the satellite carries out the principle-plane nadir observation as it flies from the south to the north, it slowly slews for about 160º around the yaw axis.
To achieve a good SNR of the observation data, the surface solar zenith angle in both nadir modes shall be < 80º. Every orbit the satellite observes for ~46 minutes in the sunlit phase. Considering the seasonal changes, TanSat is always able to detect surface targets ranging from latitude -51º to 56º, and from -82º to 79º during summer or winter.
Sun-glint observation: In sun-glint observation mode, the satellite observes the sun glint point of the Earth, with the instrument boresight within 5º of the principal plane. As the satellite observes the sun-glint spot in orbit, the spacecraft attitudes changes due to the relative target move and the principle plane following: changing around -60º~+60º about the pitch axis, changing approximately for 160º about the yaw axis, while the roll angle is kept to about 20°. The maximum slew rate during the observation is about 0.2°/s about the yaw axis, which occurs while the satellite passes the sub-solar point.
As shown in Figure 13, the sun-glint observation mode is generally used to observe over the ocean surface, where the reflection ratio is relatively lower than on land. The surface solar zenith angle of the target glint spot is constrained to smaller than 70° for better SNR. With in sun-glint observation mode, TanSat is always able to detect the surface targets ranging from latitude -43° to 46°, and from -86° to 79° during summer or winter.
Target observation: In target observation mode, the satellite observes a target point or area on Earth's surface from different view angles ranging from -60° to 60°. Targets can be distributed over the area from -30° ~ 10° across the ground track. The observation for a ground target point or area can last for 8-10 minutes while the satellite flies over the target. The maximum slew rate during the observation is around 0.6°/s about the pitch axis.
Target observation is useful for CO2 detection over hot-spots. It can also be used to observe ground CO2 monitoring stations, so that the spaceborne observation data can be compared and validated by the ground-based data.
Sun observation: In sun observation mode, the boresight of the CO2 spectrometer is pointed toward the sun, for instrument spectrometric and radiometric calibration. There are two kinds of sun observation modes:
- Direct sun observation with the reflection side of the pointer mirror of the CO2 spectrometer
- Diffusion sun observation with the diffusive side of the mirror.
In direct sun observation mode, the satellite points its +Xs axis to the sun and maneuvers sinusoidally about 1° so as to acquire a full scan of the whole sun for radiometric calibration.
In the diffusion sun observation mode, the satellite points its +Zs axis toward the sun with 15° bias on the pitch axis so that the sunlight doesn't enter into the field of view of the CAPI instrument. The satellite carries out the diffusion sun observation while flying from the dark side of the orbit to the sunlit side. The spectrometric calibration of the CarbonSpec instrument is conducted first by observing in the sunlit phase through the atmosphere, this is followed with the radiometric calibration by observing the sun directly.
Moon observation: In moon observation mode, the satellite points the CAPI instrument toward the full moon, with a small sinusoidal periodic maneuver of the pitch axis; this permits spectrometric and radiometric instrument calibration.
Ground segment:
The TanSat ground segment consists of three systems (Figure 14):
1) The ground data management system is based on the ground segment of the Feng Yun satellite series of China, regarding the monitoring and control of the spacecraft, including the science data reception and processing/archiving functions.
2) The CO2 ground monitoring network, for detecting and monitoring CO2 with six ground-based instruments, distributed over the mainland of China. The ground observation data will be compared to the spaceborne data for validation.
3) CO2 retrieval subsystem: for XCO2 retrieval based on the observation data, and for the provision of CO2 data products.

Managing resource information in GLPI
GLPI's Management features let you keep tabs on contacts, suppliers, contracts, and documents. A supplier is similar to a contact, although the term has a special meaning. A supplier is a person you buy equipment from, so an entry in the supplier list can link directly to an item in the inventory. This way, when you view the details of an item in the inventory, you automatically know who you bought it from and how to contact the supplier.
Contract entries can refer to actual contract documents, as well as details on the warranty, expiration date, renewal costs, and so on. Contracts are also linked to items in your inventory and to the supplier that issued the contract. Also, you can attach a scanned document so that you can generate the actual contract anytime in electronic form.
The Documents module is a universal module with many uses. A document can reference a support ticket or a contract, or it can simply be an important paper you want to preserve. In my case, I find it very useful to scan all documents about contracts, maintenance, and invoices. Another useful characteristic of documents is the ability to attach files, such as screen captures and spreadsheets, to support tickets.
The Tools feature provides access to a variety of support information. GLPI divides the Tools section into the categories Notes, Knowledge base, Reservations, and Reports. An optional fifth category called OCSNG [8] lets you import data from another application. Notes can be either personal (viewed only by the author) or public. Only super-admin users can add public notes.
A knowledge base is a FAQ (Frequently asked Question) list, and you can create your own FAQ on any topic. My strategy is to add FAQs after observation of support tickets. If a question is asked repeatedly, either by the same group of people again and again or by different users, I add it as a new FAQ.
A reservation is a request for loanable material. At the library of UCy, we use reservations to share loanable laptops and DLP projectors among our staff. Each staff member can reserve equipment and access a calendar to view the current set of reservations.
Personal Settings
All users, regardless of access level, get to define some personal settings. To access personal settings, click the Settings link in the upper right corner of the application. In addition to your name, phone, email, and mobile phone number, you can define a preferred display language and set other parameters governing the way GLPI displays ticket information. Additionally, you can change your account password, as long as your account is not authenticated by an external source such as an LDAP directory.
GLPI offers seven types of reports. The default report is a list of the amount of items per category (e.g., 100 computers, 40 printers, etc.). A contracts report allows you to view equipment organized according to contract details, like date of purchase, warranty expiration date, begin and end dates, and more. A yearly report is an annual report on materials for one or more years. Hardware financial information is a summary for computers, printers, screens, peripherals, and networks. Other financial information is a summary for cartridges, consumables, and software licenses. The network report offers information about the network. Finally, a loan report summarizes past and future reservations for a specified user.

Hey, I'm Ben!
I'm an enthusiastic, curious, and optimistic fellow who loves to travel. I work as an architect for the time being, but who knows what the future holds! I grew up in New England, and currently live in San Francisco.
As a host, I like to think that there are few people who are more enthusiastic about this city than myself. I've been to cities across the country and around the world, and San Francisco is among the most beautiful! If you're new to town, I'd love to give you lists of things to see and do, to offer my 'local' perspective.
I'm in a creative field, and I love to make things, including beer. I love to share my beer along with my other eclectic interests and knowledge!
As a guest, I'm friendly and know how to travel with a small footprint.

Ben is a great host and very friendly. Enjoyed staying at his place as he's very low-key like me. Highly recommended!
First time in SF for this stay. Ben was a good host, he took the time to brief me on the different parts of the city and gave me usefull advices. Ben also provide is own selection of adresses he likes (brunch, dinner ....) in a guide made from Yelp reviews (so you know where you go). I had a pleasent stay at Ben's appartment, nice sun during the day. You can ear the neigbourd from time to time, but it was never an issue, overall the apartment is really calm. Ben also provides a nice selection of vynil and his cat is really discreet and quiet :) One thing that suprise me in SF was the number of homless people in the streets and sometimes weird/freaky ones. Ben's appartment is at the edge of a neigborhood called Tenderloin where, from the advice of everybody I talked to, you don't want to hang out at night. I never had any problem out there, I followed Ben advice to be "smart" and look at my surrounding when going back home at night.
Ben was a great host, and an apartment like this absolutely can't be beat for the price! Great sunlight, a cute kitty, nice view, superb sound system, and what's probably the most comfortable bed I've slept on in years, all in a neighborhood that's culturally diverse and close to everything you'll want to see. This will be my top choice next time I'm in San Francisco.
I had an extremely wonderful and relaxing stay at Ben's. He's a super friendly & cool dude, with a beautiful apartment, and a curiously adorable kitty. Huge, sunny windows with a great view of the city, excellent speaker system, and a comfy bed. Thoroughly enjoyed my entire stay, thanks Ben!
I was coming down with a cold when I arrived at Ben's place. He cooked me soup! Ben is hospitable, accommodating, intelligent and interesting. I felt safe and welcome. His place is tidy and his couch converts into a comfortable sleeping space. I enthusiastically give him my recommendation.
Staying at Ben's place was fantastic. The apartment is warm and nice, good equipped and comfortable, with lots of sun. Location is good: close to Downtown and other attractions. Perfect for anyone who wants to explore the city. Lots of food and drink options near. Really enjoyed Ben's hospitality. Communication was always smooth and Ben was very helpful. He's an interesting and friendly person. It was a pleasure to meet him and walk a bit together. He knows a lot about the city and he loves it. And you will love it too when leaving, trust me. Would definitely stay again at Ben's place. Thank you Ben!
Ben is a great host. The place is neat and centrally located. Lots of light. Bed is comfortable and his LP collection is enjoyable. Strongly recommended!
Via my friend: I couldn't have been happier with this apartment! It's located in an amazing spot to either travel by bus, BART or on the trollies if you're feeling super touristy. As keen walkers, we also found it a pleasurable, but hilly, stroll down to the Marina to rent bikes for the day and to the financial district and Chinatown. There is amazing and shockingly cheap food on O'Farrell in the way of Pakistani and Chinese vegan treats and you're only five minutes away from Mexican food on the mission (by bus or BART) and a slightly pricier but worth the wait soul food experience of Brenda's around the corner. Be warned, the food is fantastic, but the lines are out the door on the weekends, and for good reason. The apartment was clean, safe and easy to find and Ben was kind enough to leave us some of his fine homebrewed beer to welcome us in. He checked in with us to find out when it would be convenient for him to pop by and made sure we had everything we needed. We will of course be shipping him thank you gifts for making our weekend away from the cold snow of New York fun and affordable.
Ben is a great host! He really took care of us before and during our stay and he was a very nice and easy person to talk with. His studio is very well situated, charming and very well equipped, we really enjoyed the comfy sofa, the nice view with warming sun almost all the day, the quiet and nice neighborhood, the handy kitchen and the hifi! It was really a pleasure to be hosted by Ben as he has also shared a lot of his world with us even if we didn't have the chance to meet. He gave us a homemade guide of San Francisco with his favorite places to eat, to shop or to hang around, he has good music and makes good beer! Thank you again Ben!
Reviews From Hosts
Ben and his family were great guests. I would welcome them back anytime.
The Bradleys were perfect guests, quiet, easy communication, left everything in good order.
Ben was a great guest. Someone who I would love to have back to my place anytime! He and his friends loved the kitchen and used it to its fullest extent.
Ben was an excellent guest. He was tired when he arrived, but still took time to talk and share a little of his life. Top man.
Ben is a great guy and I thoroughly enjoyed hosting him. He was incredibly respectful of my space and was gracious enough to bring some beer (good beer as well). He was very understanding of my issues with Lockitron on the first night and incredibly autonomous after I got it fixed. Being a host himself, he completely gets being a guest on Airbnb. I would definitely host him again and hopefully will be welcoming him to my neighborhood if he makes the move to Bernal Heights / Mission.
Ben was an awesome guest. Cool guy, super clean, super quiet, barely even knew he was there! Very respectful of the apartment as well. I'd def stay at his place if I'm in between pads.
Ben was superb guest! We enjoyed hosting him and chatting about airbnb, highly recommended.
Ben is a bright, energetic intelligent guest who I enjoyed. He enjoyed his Hawaiian experience and fit right in to the culture. I would definately have him as a guest again.
Ben arrived a guest, and left a friend. He was an absolute pleasure to host, super considerate, tidy, clean and respectful. My only complaint was I wish I had been able to take him out and show him some of my side of NYC... hopefully next time.

Ben has been my best friend since we were high school freshmen. On top of him being one of my favorite people in the world, I've stayed with him in San Francisco a couple times and he's a great host, his place is rad, and he's very knowledgable about the city. He's friendly, considerate, easy going, and about as good as it gets if you're looking to crash with someone in SF.
ben is a friend i can always rely on. his resourcefulness makes him an excellent addition to any outlandish adventure. he's considerate enough both to bring some homebrews to your potluck and also to help clean up afterwards. he's a great listener and asks the right questions to nurture conversation. i'd be happy to stay at ben's place or to have him at mine anytime.
Ben is a super nice, clean, quiet, interesting, friendly and eagerly enthusiastic guy. He's absolutely in love with San Francisco, so he'd be a great host - especially if you want someone to show you around the city. And as a guest, he's incredibly considerate - he'll either be out and about on his own, cleaning up his messes, or hanging out with you as you show him around where he's staying - it's up to you! I've hosted him several times, and it's always been great. The only sad thing is when he's doing his own thing and *i* don't get to hang out with him. :)
I stayed with Ben on Ofarrell st for about a week- he is a friend from school, and a great person to introduce you to SF- it was my first time on the west coast. The place is in a great location, walking distance to a lot of the city, and with great banh mi sandwiches down the block. There's also some good coffee shops, a farmers market, and whatever elso you need nearby. Ben has a really nice place, which is very quiet despite being in the middle of the city, and he also brews excellent beer on the side, so maybe if you ask nice you can get a piece of that action. He is also very knowledgeable about SF so he can give you an overview on getting around and things to do. I wopuld definitely (and hopefully will sometime soon) stay with Ben again.

I do no longer get this rash that makes me stay away from the sun. I use this product together with red palm oil, which I think helps too.

Apple without Jobs will be just fine
Without its visionary leader Steve Jobs, experts believe Apple Inc. will do just fine, given a strong succession plan.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Apple without Steve Jobs won't be the same, but the company will probably do just fine.
That's because the visionary leader has clearly put in place a succession plan — with Tim Cook at the helm since August, and other key executives in their posts, well versed in the company's culture and values.
But Jobs' death came just one day after Apple launched its upgraded iPhone 4S to much disappointment. The usually flawless presentation was flat, had slip-ups, and overall failed to impress analysts and consumers.
And given the speed at which the smartphone market has been changing, with the advent of Android phones as well as Amazon's new Kindle Fire, it's unclear whether Apple can maintain its dominant position without its charismatic leader who epitomized innovation.
Still observers believe that while Jobs' absence will be felt, Apple will be fine, given all its planning as well as its talented workforce.
"He built this company, and clearly it carries his DNA. But it is hard for me to see how this company would now implode," said Gerard Seijts, executive director of the Ian O. Ihnatowycz Institute for Leadership at the Ivey School of Business.
Seijts points to companies like IBM, which is turning 100 this year, and Southwest Airlines and the Four Seasons hotel chain, which all had strong founders who stepped down, and continued to do well.
In addition, there was plenty of time to implement a succession plan unlike with a sudden death.
Cook has served as chief operating officer and is credited with improving Apple's supply chain system, locking prices for key components in China and shutting out competitors. Johnny Ive, the man behind the brilliant designs from the iPod to iMac, continues to lead the design team.
Investors clearly are not worried. The share price closed down 88 cents on Thursday to $377.37 (U.S.).
Will Mitchell, the Anthony Fell chair in new technology and commercialization at the Rotman School of Management, believes Jobs' decision to step down in August prepared people.
"Every organization needs somebody who you can point and say, 'Look this person exemplifies the spirit and the vision and the drive of the company,'" Mitchell said.
"Steve, in a real sense, will continue to be that for at least the memory of this generation."
Neil Bearse, associate director of marketing at the Queen's School of Business, believes the staff have been trained, noting there is an internal university to solve problems in a Steve Jobs way.
"Apple may lose some of their rock star allure," Bearse said. "Part of Steve's legacy is the way the products were described. They extended beyond features, even beyond benefits of the products, almost to the belief of the product."
With the philosophy of art and technology intersecting, Bearse added the marketing wouldn't have worked if the products weren't truly elegant.
But without the man behind the innovations, Bearse wonders if people will notice.
"Are we really going to miss it? If it's something no one could have conceived of, other than him, will you know when it's not there?"

Coast To Coast AM 09.24.2012 Alien Artifacts on the Moon
Published on Sep 25, 2012 by Boomdaddy02
Date: 09-24-12
Host: George Noory
Guests: Mike Bara, Alan Stern
Author, lecturer and aerospace engineer Mike Bara presented evidence that the Moon is littered with ancient artifacts, which suggests to him that at one time it was inhabited by extraterrestrials, or possibly an ancient or ancestral civilization of humans. The moon has a curious orbit and it's almost as if it's been placed in its position by design, he commented. He concurs with Richard C. Hoagland that there are a number of glass-like towers on the moon. These towers have an engineering structure with layers, and girders that is reminiscent of human architecture, he observed. One vertical tower, that sticks out like the Washington Monument, he estimated to be a staggering 20-25 miles tall.
There are also meteor shields made out of glass-- in the moon's vacuum environment, glass is about twice as strong as steel, he noted. Transparent glass domes are present over the Cleomedes craters, and you can see geometric structures inside them, he continued. Interestingly, he suggested that the Apollo 17 mission was a salvaging operation at South Massif, a hexagonally-shaped mountainous area. The back end appeared to be blown out, and contained geometric patterning inside of it, "as if the whole thing was made up of a series of rooms and cells," he said.
Bara also addressed the "Data's Head" anomaly which he believes is a robot's head, and has a painted red stripe on it, as well as controversies surrounding the Daedalus Ziggurat, a pyramid-like structure with walls and ramps. He explained that he's reached many of his conclusions by studying early lunar photos such as from the Apollo missions. He distrusts newer digital images from lunar probes, as he believes NASA whitewashes evidence and information from them.
Planets & Space Exploration
First hour guest, planetary scientist and space program executive, Dr. Alan Stern, spoke about current and future space missions and exploration. He cited the importance of commercial space development which is bringing down the cost of new space capsules and launch vehicles. His new company Uwingu seeks to fund space exploration and research through the sale of its products. In talking about our solar system, Stern suggested it's likely there could be many small planets out past Pluto, some of which may have subterranean oceans capable of supporting life.

Best Raw Bar (2004)
Whale's Rib
The no-holds-barred crowd that often lines up in early evenings to get into this 20-plus-year-old spot is a mix of bikers, surfers, condo-nauts and prowling tourists -- all eager for their electronic buzzers to light up and tell them it's their turn to cram into this little combo tavern/fishhouse, which anchors all the glamour that is downtown Deerfield. Once inside, they'll get a taste of rough-hewn walls supporting more nautica than an Americas Cup yacht and a staff that gives as good as it gets. Not to worry. Elbows are soon too busy flying as diners dig into either the why-be-fancy? raw bar items such as fresh clams, oysters, and regular or rock shrimp (a house specialty) or more prettified choices including oysters Rockefeller, clams casino, and escargots. Prices range from $4.25 per dish to whatever the market will bear. And don't forget to try the whale fries -- Capt. Ahab would have gladly given up Moby Dick for a few mouthfuls of these.

I had BA three days ago, and feel fortunate -- I have not needed any painkillers of any kind, and feel great. Quite perky and still swollen, but virtually pain free. I will follow doctors advice and refrain from exercise for three weeks (which will be hard!!), but since I feel so good, and have full range of motion in my arms without any pain, when can I drive my car for short errands? Many thanks.
How Long After my Augmentation Before I Can Drive a Car (Local Errands, Not a Long Trip)?
Doctor Answers 26
Driving after a Breast Augmentation
Hello and thank you for the question.
In general, I have my patients wait no less than 7 days before I allow them to drive. At that time they must be off narcotic pain medications as well as any other medications which may impair their driving. I recommend you follow up with your surgeon and follow his/her recommendations on this matter.
Glenn Vallecillos, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Driving after a BA
You are healing well! If you are not taking narcotics and can move your arms easily I would allow you to drive short distances at 5 days. You must be able to make sudden movements if necessary so any pain that would restrict this should warn you to wait. I tell patients to wait 5-7 days but truthfully most of them don't. I have never had anyone come to harm. The narcotics are the tipping point in my opinion. If you are taking them during the day, don't drive no matter how long it has been since your surgery.
Normal activities after breast augmentation
An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and provide true medical advice.

Driving Following Breast Augmentation
Patients are eager to return to their normal routine as soon as possible following breast augmentation. The vast majority of patients are able to resume driving in 5 to 7 days following this procedure. At this time, the majority of patients are no longer taking narcotics for pain relief. When patients are still taking narcotics, resumption of driving should be delayed. It's important to discuss this issue with your plastic surgeon because protocols vary from surgeon to surgeon.

How long after an augmentation before I can drive a car?
Driving after breast augmenation
I tell my patients that they can start driving a car when they are off of all pain killers and they feel comfortable enough to turn and look behind themselves without any problems. Most patients can do that in 5-7 days after surgery. Be careful not to try and drive too early and wind up in an accident because you can't move and turn like you need to and definitely, do not drive while taking pain medication.

For those that say rams have no cap room
Once you understand the rules, you can see how easy it is to create a large amount of cap room, as long as you factorin future effects of course.
The next two years, the cap will go up $17 million, which kind of takes care of a big future issue.
Lots of confusion about what the Rams have now available, with dead money and other stuff tweaking the actual amount.
I'll go by what Jim Thomas has said, as he has inside info from Demoff himself.
He said they have $9.5 million available, with another $9 milion added by cutting Finnegan and Dahl.
If they can get Wells to do something about his cap, it will be added.
Are you aware that by just guaranteeing Wells $5.5 million SALARY for 2014, it adds &2.75 of room this year? It is added to 205, but then you have that relief from Long and Laurinaitis deals going DOWN, NINE million dollars.
NOW, are you also aware that by guaranteeing Laurinairis $10 million salary, of which only $1 million is still guaranteed, you can lower HIS 2014 cap number by $6.75 million, which is then spred out for thr ee years at $2.25 per year. His 2015 cap would still only be $6.25 million.
So with just two moves the player doesn't even have to approve, the Rams can add ANOTHER $9 million of cap room, without cutting Wells.
Here are some other players, and the amount saved this year by guaranteeing their salary and turning it into pro rated bonus:
Langford $2.5 million (added to 2015)
Bradford $4 million (added to 2015)

Re: For those that say rams have no cap room
It's been a constantly changing thing, with the cap increase a HUGE deal in this.
But all those *****ing about Byrd "costing too much of our cap, at $9 million even, see how wrong you are?
The price of top players had gone up, and at least safties are the cheapest.
That's why the Rams can afford to sign a big free agent, and maybe still get Saffold back, though I see him getting an overpay deal the Rams won't match.
That's what i have been saying since that $133 this year and up to $150 million in 2016 was announced.
So lay off Avenger, save your personal vendetta, cause I am not joining.
I've got it right here, as this shows, and you scared Nellies about even a Pro Bowl guy at a HUGE need position are wrong. And it wasn't about you saying Byrd wasn't a star that would fit perfectly. You said it was all about "Using all our cap room"
I told you THEN that you were wrong, and that hasn't changed.
You can cut and paste stuff I said in Dcember all you want counselor, but it is inadmissable here as outdated, and based on previous information change without prior knowledge of it being imminent.
You can keep picking at everything I post, but I not only have more experience at this, and better insight from inside a NFL facility for 17 years, I also spend 5 hours a day doing research, since New Years.
Yes, that is crazy, but in retirement, snowed in, you find plenty of time to kill.
I post stuff here to try to educate fans who may not have time to do this often boring work so on draft day, you have it down.
Those fans can take it or leave it. But guys who feel some need to put down others in some kind of testosterone deal, can do what Bobby Knight once said his detractors could do.
I don't know what Jeff Fisher and Les Snead will do, but I know how they think, what their philosophy is, because I actually talked to them at the draft the last two years, not just the official press conferences, but after, when you get the off the record stuff .
Not bragging, and others may get some insight I don't now that I have retired, and I welcome that here.
Just explaining where I am coming from when some P.A. has the red ass about me.Barry Waller

Re: For those that say rams have no cap room
I think it goes down to spending your money wisely: would you rather have Verner at7-8 million a year, or a player like Byrd who wants 9-10 million a year. IMO I'd go with Byrd, mainly because his presence would improve the games of our CB's on the team. I think Verner is a good player, but even if we had him our CB's would still be susceptible to getting beat over the top, and I doubt having a rookie like Ha-Ha or Pryor would change that.

Re: For those that say rams have no cap room
And as far as the Rams cap space, until recently, you or anyone else didn't really have a clear picture of how it was going to shape up, so calling people out on it and labeling them "scared Nellies, is a bit disingenuous IMO.

Re: For those that say rams have no cap room
I don't recall saying they didn't have cap room or wouldn't make cap room to do stuff. The only thing I said was not to get too excited about the cap increase because it benefits all teams so isn't as huge of a deal as some were making it out to be. Yes we have more money but so do the other 31 teams. I hope the Rams use theirs wisely. I'm tired of seeing millions of dollars in dead money every year on our budget.

Re: For those that say rams have no cap room
I don't hold it against anyone for changing their opinion when new information becomes available. That's fine. But acknowledge that, and come from a place that's honest about it. I'd respect that, listen to that, and probably learn a lot from that person.
Alternatively, it comes across very poorly when you've made a complete 180-degree switch of opinion, and then lecture others about how wrong they are for thinking something you yourself not only previous thought but in fact argued very definitively about ("No way on Gods green Earth"). That's something I can't respect and have no interest in listening to.
I'm an educator, so I understand the value of the insight of professionals or those with experience. But I can't help but question that insight and those years of experience if they don't prevent you from making very definitive statements that shoot down possible scenarios that only two months later are actually quite possible. Furthermore, as an educator, I also know that no one is going to take that insight or experience seriously when it's presented in belittling ways or accompanied with unnecessary name-calling ("scared Nellies").
Constantly telling other people how right you are and how wrong they are isn't educating them; it's talking down to them. And it just seems pretty unnecessary and borderline inflammatory when it's about telling them how wrong they are about an opinion you previously held.
Now, to get back on the Byrd discussion, it'll be interesting to see what the Rams decide to do. The good thing for St. Louis is that, besides Saffold, they don't appear to have any real high priority, expensive free agents to resign. And Saffold might price himself out of what the Rams are willing to pay, sort of like what Danny Amendola did. Who else do they need to bring back? Chris Williams simply was not very good and could probably be upgraded without having to break the bank; I wouldn't be upset if the Rams moved on from Dunbar and Witherspoon. Darian Stewart isn't setting the world on fire. Kellen Clemens seems like the only in-house free agent that I think they should really bring back, given how he played in 2013. He won't be particularly expensive.
So I do agree that the Rams should have some money to work with, $4 million more now that Finnegan is gone and potentially another $4 million if they move on from Dahl. When you think about where they could focus that money in free agency, there are some options but not many as good as safety.
They're not going after a QB or RB. I don't think the talent at WR is particularly appealing in terms of shelling out big money, especially when you compare it to the depth of this draft class. There are some appealing interior offensive linemen that the Rams could go after if they miss out on bringing Saffold back. I'm thinking that they'll probably keep Wells just to keep some stability on the inside of their line, especially if they part ways with Dahl.
They really don't need to spend money on the DL, and they only need a situational guy at OLB with Laurinaitis and Ogletree staying on the field on passing downs. That leaves DB - either corner or safety - as another area besides interior OL where they could make a move.
Verner is intriguing, but I'd be wary about overpaying him based mostly on 2013. Williams' insight will be important here. Speaking of Williams, I wonder what he'd think about bringing in Malcolm Jenkins, who played under Williams in New Orleans and was solid though unspectacular in that scheme. Jenkins declined a bit recently and likely wouldn't command big money, he's certainly not as talented as the top safeties in this free agent market, but I don't think he's completely awful, certainly an upgrade over the personnel we've seen the Rams use in recent years, and his familiarity with the scheme could give him an advantage.

Carrier Bag Levy
Northern Ireland retailers must charge at least 5p for new carrier bags. The main aim is to protect the environment by substantially cutting the number of carrier bags used. Reusing carrier bags saves natural resources and reduces the need for landfill.
It's not just plastic bags
Alternatives to plastic bags, such as paper bags, can be equally or more damaging to the environment. For this reason there is no exemption for carrier bags on the basis of the material from which they are made.
When does the levy apply?
The levy applies to all new carrier bags with a retail price below 20p. This is regardless of whether they are single use or reusable.
The levy applies to carrier bags of all materials.
The levy applies to carrier bags when:
- you buy goods like groceries or clothing
- goods need to be delivered, for example, items bought from the internet which are sent from premises in Northern Ireland and delivered in carrier bags
Retailers set the price of their bags which means that prices may vary. However, only the proceeds of the 5p levy are paid to the Department of the Environment (DOE).
When does the levy not apply?
The levy does not apply when the bags:
- contain take-away hot food and hot drinks
- only contain items such as unpackaged food, seeds and bulbs, axes, knives or razor blades, goods contaminated by soil and some medicinal products
- carry goods bought in an airport after you clear security
- are used when you buy a service, such as shoe repair or laundry
- are of certain sizes and used solely to contain packaged uncooked meat or fish
- are certain types of small bags
- are specialist bags, such as mail order and courier bags
- are supplied for free to replace worn out 'bags for life'
- are carrier bags with a retail price of 20p or more
Where does the money go?
The money raised is used to deliver local projects to improve the environment. In its first year (2013/14), £3.4m of the proceeds were spent on more than 250 projects delivered by the Northern Ireland Environment Link (NIEL) Challenge Fund, Natural Heritage grants, Sustainability Innovation Fund and Local Clean-Up Support projects.
Retailers' responsibilities
When it applies, retailers must:
- charge customers the 5p levy for each new carrier bag given out with a retail price of less than 20p
- pay the net proceeds of the levy to DOE
To contact the DOE carrier bag levy team:
- telephone 028 7129 9010 / 0300 200 7879
- email email@example.com
Reusing bags
You should only use clean bags in a good state of repair. Clean your long life reusable bags often. Bags which are torn or contaminated with food should be recycled at carrier bag recycling points.

What if Avatar had been cast by music critics?
Bioluminescent vines brushing the knees of your skinny jeans. Cataclysmic explosions so huge and real that you nearly wet yourself with fear. Rampaging alien beasts threatening to trample you -- or at least knock over your popcorn.
I know, right? Avatar was out-and-out awesome, especially in 3D. For almost three jaw-dropping hours, writer/director James Cameron's sci-fi fantasia distracted us from our assorted cares with computer-generated action sequences and eye-popping colors.
But with all due respect to Sam Worthington and Stephen Lang and C.C.H. Pounder -- which is, by the way, totally a porn-star name -- what if Cameron and his brain trust had turned casting for Avatar over to music critics? What if, indeed....
DMX As Tsu'Tey. Kind of a thankless role, this. Tsu'Tey is like the chieftain-in-waiting, and Neytiri's supposed to be his boo; the unexpected arrival of chosen sky person/cockblocker Jake Sully puts the kibosh on all that, and poor Tsu is reduced to Sully's hater/mocker/antagonist, only to become his soul brother later on, once it becomes clear that Sully was willing to throw down against his own race.
Since DMX is the kind of actor who can really only look pissed off and look cool kicking butt (which is more or less what this part required of Laz Alonso, anyway), casting him would've been a no-brainer.
Also, when he raps, DMX likes to bark like a dog, this cartoon-y, half-serious kind of bark that somebody taped him doing once then turned into a keyboard pre-set effect or something. Sure, the tendency of the Na'vi is to hiss like snakes or cats, but DMX's bark wouldn't have felt entirely out of place.
Ziggy Stardust-era David Bowie As Miles Quaritch. Avatar is an inherently odd enough project, I think, that it could accommodate a singing quasi-androgynous alien in place of a grizzled Marine hard-ass commandant with claw-scars across his face.
Would the effect be the same? Would it be believable? I don't know. But I wish someone with time and bandwidth to burn would jury-rig it into being.
M.I.A. As Neytiri. How perfect a storm would this have been? I mean, they're both fierce warrior princesses who are as familiar with their adversaries as they need to be in order to destroy them. They both hooked up with dudes from cultures dead-set on annihilating or marginalizing their own societies. They both have eye gouging senses of style. And they both could probably kill you barehanded in the blink of an eye.
Natalie Merchant As Dr. Grace Augustine. Given that Avatar is a flick where "tree-hugger" is employed as an epithet more than once, Merchant stepping into this mother-hen biologist's shoes doesn't seem especially far-fetched. Plus, better her bleating, bleeding-heart ballads than the bland orchestral scores and Hollywood boilerplate fare of African/world music choral pap that are all over this movie.
(Dear Hollywood: it's time to dig up some new ideas about incidental film music. Seriously, I'm pretty sure I heard variations on every sound in Avatar done in Gladiator, and Gladiator came out almost a decade ago! Please evolve.)
Adam Levine of Maroon 5 As Parker Selfridge. This part, played by Giovanni Ribisi, demands a corporate-suite callousness that has to be at least somewhat sincere; Levine, who has demonstrated time and time again that he's fully in touch with his inner cocksucker - for evidence, we direct you to every videotaped interview that the Maroon 5 front man has ever done - might have been a better fit.
Will Oldham As Dr. Max Patel. Because the idea of Will Oldham pretending to be a rotund, bushy-bearded scientist on stationed a lush, hallucinagenic alien world is just too delicious.

The Kansas City Royals have been irrelevant in the Wild Card Era. The franchise has endured 17 losing seasons since 1995 and finished above .500 only once in 2003 thanks to this historic night. Basically, if not for the Pittsburgh Pirates two-decade-old disappearing act, the Royals would have the honor of least competitive franchise in MLB. In recent years, the starting pitching has resembled waiver wire fodder in your yahoo fantasy league. Luminaries such as Jose Lima, Runelvys Hernandez, Sean O'Sullivan, Vin Mazzaro, and everyone's favorite, Kyle Davies has littered the roster with below average replacement level value. The only quality starter the Royals have been able to develop this millennium is the Dodgers $147 million man, Zack Greinke. On Sunday, GM Dayton Moore finally infused the roster with a potential ace in James Shields and quality RHP Wade Davis. The trade of prospect Wil Myers to the Tampa Bay Rays has left many baseball industry members scratching their heads ...

There's something extra patriotic to see in Gladstone around the Fourth of July, and it's not just the annual parade.
The City of Gladstone, American Legion Post 71, and Bay Bank are bringing an 80 percent reproduction of the Vietnam Memorial Wall to the public.
The American Veterans Traveling Tribute, AVTT, will be at Gladstone's Van Cleve Park July 3 through 7. Gladstone City Manager, Darla Falcon, says she feels a connection with veterans, and it's a personal mission of hers to bring the wall to the city.
"The City of Gladstone is celebrating our 125th anniversary this year," said Falcon, "so we needed something spectacular to bring for folks to come to Gladstone to see. Just come and see the wall. I think that tribute to all the veterans is what our focus is."
The event is free for the public to view the wall, but it cost $6,000 to bring the wall to Gladstone.
Donations would assist in other costs, and if you would like to donate, contact Darla Falcon at (906) 428-2311 or Marcey Skwor at (906) 428-4040.
