NOAA plans for GOES-18 to begin operating as GOES West in early 2023. GOES-18 is undergoing post-launch testing to prepare it for operations. GLM data helps pilots and air traffic controllers route flights to maximize safety and minimize economic impacts. Widespread weather events pose particular challenges for the aviation industry. GLM helps forecasters identify intensifying storms and captures the evolution of individual storm cells that combine to form massive storm systems. The instrument captured significant lightning activity in the derecho that moved across the Northern Plains on May 12-13. Recently, GLM monitored lightning activity within severe storms across the U.S. On June 2, NOAA shared striking first imagery from the GOES-18 Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM). Download Video | Transcript NOAA/NASA Goddard Space Flight Center/CIRA/CIMSSĮarth from Orbit: Flashy First Imagery from the GOES-18 Geostationary Lightning Mapper After the completion of post-launch testing and checkout, NOAA plans for GOES-18 to replace GOES-17 as the operational GOES West satellite in early 2023. As GOES-18 continues post-launch testing, its ABI will provide critical information for eastern Pacific hurricane forecasters despite not yet being fully operational. GOES-18 also viewed mesmerizing von Kármán vortices off the coast of Isla Guadalupe and beautiful cloud formations over Hawaii. It monitored a low pressure system off the West Coast and severe thunderstorms in Colorado. The satellite tracked fire activity in Alaska, snow and the movement of fog and smoke. Recently, the GOES-18 Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) monitored a number of weather events, meteorological phenomena, and environmental hazards. GOES-18 has already seen a lot from its new location. This location allows it to monitor the northeastern Pacific, where many of the weather systems affecting the continental U.S. From its new vantage point, GOES-18 can now see Alaska, Hawaii, and the Pacific Ocean all the way to New Zealand. ![]() NOAA’s GOES-18 is now sending back data from its new post-launch testing position over the Pacific Ocean. However, we chose to do the test for our peace of mind. It is not a legal requirement to conduct a British Standard heating test on products that are Class 1 medical devices.

For instance, the portrait mode for the FaceTime camera that blurs the background is an Apple M1 thing only, as is support for the picture to text “LiveText” feature, and even some of the new mapping technologies. However the features that won’t be supported on any Intel Mac are listed on the page when you read the fine print on the MacOS Monterey preview page. If you have an iMac, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro from 2014 or earlier, you’ll definitely want to check out the install requirements and see if you qualify, because you probably won’t. ![]() MacOS Monterey will still run on the iMac, just as it will all of the Macs with Intel inside from 2015 onwards, with some of 2014’s knocked out of the running. Even last year’s Intel-based iMac won’t be able to do some of the things Apple has announced for Monterey, which is an interesting situation for customers to be in. The M1 is a beast, delivering performance in pretty much every app, including those not made to run natively, and it’s the first step in Apple’s homegrown computer harder, so it will only get better.īut barely one year on from announcing the arrival of the Apple Silicon, Apple is already talking up things that won’t run on computers with Intel inside, some of which saw release last year. It’s no secret that Apple is gradually moving away from the Intel chips, thanks in part to the raw power and performance its own silicon can achieve. ![]() More specifically, it may depend on if you’ve purchased a Mac in the past year, with Apple’s M1 Macs getting all of these, while Apple’s Intel Macs might miss out on some. The catch for getting all of these features may depend on precisely which Mac you have.

It will also get a similar “Focus” mode to what Apple is rolling out on the iPhone and iPad, allowing you to shut out distractions and focus on work.Īnd for a bit of a change, you’ll now be able to send iPhone and iPad on-screen material to a Mac, allowing you to go to a potentially bigger screen for easy sharing. The maker of the Mac is also rolling out something called “Universal Control”, which will make it possible to link a mouse and keyboard between a Mac and an iPad, something that’s rolling out on iPadOS 15, and it will work with the Apple Pencil on the iPad, too. Some of the new features in iPadOS are here, too, such as how you can share music, video, and app experiences with friends and family remotely using SharePlay, while FaceTime gets support for Spatial Audio not unlike how Apple’s approach to spatial audio can position sound in videos, and it will isolate your voice as you speak from the background if you have a recent Mac.Īpple is also going to let you blur the background of a FaceTime video call, because we’ve all had plenty of video meetings where everyone now knows what’s behind you in your home. There are updated to Apple’s Notes app with a quick note feature to let you take notes wherever, and Apple is also migrating the Shortcuts macro recording app from iPhone and iPad to macOS, so you can automate actions easily.

The week was understandably busy for Apple announcements, thanks to Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, and macOS was one of the bigger ones, as Apple announced what was coming next: macOS Monterey. If you own a variety of Mac - be it a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, iMac, or Mac Pro - you’re about to get a few new features, and some of them may feel a little like out of what we’ve seen not just from the announcement of the upcoming iPhone update of iOS 15, but from iOS in general. ![]() This week saw the announcement of iOS 15 for phones, while iPadOS 15 has been talked up for Apple’s tablets, and it’s not the only operating system Apple has news on. With the next version of Windows set for announcement later this month, there’s a fair bit happening in computer operating systems, not to mention what’s happening over in the world of phones and tablets. Owners of a Mac will potentially find the next version of macOS cares about how they get their work done, giving them the ability to focus and yet also take notes wherever. ![]() ‡Spectrum Internet + TV Select: Limited time offer subject to change valid to qualified residential customers who have not subscribed to any services within the previous 30 days and who have no outstanding obligation to Charter.

It needs to be, ‘We made the mess, and we need to get ourselves out of it.’”īut others would say that’s a simplistic way to look at the argument. “You can’t rely on the goodwill of people to do this. “We cannot just think that the market is going to do what it’s going to do, because what it’s done is create an enormous housing crisis,” Feichtinger said. And when she adds on the fact that Omaha is nearly 80,000 units short of meeting affordable housing demand, according to a new report from the Sherwood Foundation, it makes the inequity even more alarming. She sees similarities between maps of TIF funding today and those drawn up in the 1930s to keep poor and diverse people locked in their neighborhoods. ![]() The Home Owner’s Loan Corporation Map of Omaha created in 1937 that “redlined” certain neighborhoods making it nearly impossible to receive loans.Īdvocates like Erin Feichtinger of Together, a local nonprofit committed to ending hunger and homelessness, say TIF has become a revolving door of projects that never get denied to boost already burgeoning commercial districts. The problem is a friction between realism and idealism. By the time the TIF project is complete, typically a timeline of 15 years, the tax revenue is many multitudes higher than when it started. The Douglas County Acessor’s Office freezes the current property tax valuations and reimburses developers the difference as the values begin to rise. The stakes are low as a city doesn’t have to spend any real money. The program is designed to address “blighted” and “substandard” areas, known in Omaha as community redevelopment areas, and through a new amendment to the law “extremely blighted” areas, through redevelopment. Opposition like Smith’s as well as mounting calls to address housing inequity in Omaha have put TIF in the spotlight. She logged off her Zoom call with a middle finger facing the camera. Smith hoped she could sway councilmembers, but they unanimously approved the project. By that point, Smith’s landlord had already told her she was being kicked out. But when it came to her triplex at 33rd and Jones streets, Smith rallied neighbors and protested the market-rate apartments. Often TIF projects are approved with little fanfare. Though some TIF allotments receive scrutiny like the proposed $80 million for The Crossroads or tearing down three historic homes in the Gold Coast neighborhood, it’s not the norm. The new businesses in Blackstone, shining structures of glass and metal in Aksarben, most of downtown: TIF made them happen. Since 2006, the city’s subsidized more than half-a-billion dollars in development, according to an analysis by The Reader. TIF is the city’s most powerful tool to spur development. 12, 2021, the Omaha City Council voted to tear down two buildings on 33rd and Jones streets, one of which held Smith’s apartment, to make way for a 55-unit apartment complex financed partially through a city subsidy called tax increment finance. ![]() “Just because clearly didn’t matter to anybody.” The site of Sophia Smith’s former home at the intersection of 33rd and Jones streets on Nov. “I almost felt a little bit embarrassed afterwards,” Smith said recently. Less than a year later, Smith had to accept she’d lost the fight to keep it. While the triplex was old enough to be a historic landmark when she moved there in 2019, it was otherwise an unremarkable piece of turn-of-the-century architecture in Omaha. Sophia Smith could feel every year of the 96-year-old apartment whenever she walked across the squeaky wood floors. The inset medicine cabinet still had a razor blade slot. Intricate, worn octagons of black and white tile covered the bathroom floor. |
