Up close to classic James Bond bikinis, cat-suits and razor-sharp bowler hats
12:47 20 June 2012
The bikini worn by Ursula Andress in Dr No and Halle Berry's two-piece outfit from Die Another Day feature in a new James Bond show - alongside Sean Connery's shorts.
The iconic customes all feature in a 007 exhibition at the Barbican, in central London from July 6.
Fifty years of 007 movies are being celebrated at a two-month long exhibition, Designing 007: Fifty Years Of Bond Style.
Among the 400 Bond items are the swimming trunks by Daniel Craig as he emerged from the sea in his Bond debut, Casino Royale.
More than 400 Bond items will be brought together for the exhibition, opening on July 6, with weapons such as Scaramanga's golden gun, Oddjob's deadly bowler hat and Rosa Klebb's flick-knife shoes.
Vehicles and gadgets will include Bond's 1964 Aston Martin DB5 and the attache case featured in From Russia With Love. Roger Moore's white tuxedo from Octopussy and space suit from Moonraker are also to feature.
The exhibition, guest-curated by fashion historian Bronwyn Cosgrave and Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming, will tour internationally.
Further details are at www.barbican.org.uk/bond.
The latest Bond movie Skyfall, again starring Craig as the suave agent, is in production and due for release later this year.

Apply for STEM Scale-Up Programs Now
AMES, Iowa – School teachers, youth organization leaders, informal education professionals, county and regional extension programs and other organizations delivering STEM educational programs can apply to bring STEM Scale-Up programs into their clubs or classrooms during 2013-14. Applications for the Scale-Up programs must be submitted online by Wednesday, April 10. Applications and details can be found at www.iowastem.gov/.
In March, the Govenor's STEM Advisory Council announced the nine STEM Scale-Up programs it chose for the 2013-14 school year. The programs improve learner interest and achievement in STEM -- science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Nine programs have been selected as 2013-14 STEM Scale-Ups:
- A World in Motion, www.awim.org
- Camp in a Can Show and Tell, www.campinacan.com
- Carolina STEM Curriculum, www.carolinacurriculum.com
- CASE – The "CASE" for Agricultural STEM Education in Iowa: Preparing Tomorrow's Leaders, Today, www.iowaffafoundation.org
- Defined STEM, www.definedstem.com
- E=HC2, Exploration = Health Career Connection
- Engineering Is Elementary in Iowa, www.aea10.k12.ia.us/vastscience/curriculumnew.html
- HyperStream – Technology Hub for Iowa Students, http://hyperstream.org
- Project Lead the Way: Gateway to Technology Program, www.pltw.org
Pre-K-12 educators, both formal and informal, are eligible to apply for the programs. This is not a monetary grant application. All transactions will occur between the regional hub and the program or service provider.
"The STEM Scale-Up programs offer kids hand-on experiences in math, science, technology and engineering right in their communities," said Lynne Campbell, the North Central regional hub manager. "Programs span all grade levels, all fields of STEM and may be implemented in-school or out-of-school."
BCLUW Implements AWIM, Sees Success
One of the 2012-13 North Central Iowa STEM Scale-Up recipients was Beaman, Conrad, Liscomb, Union and Whitten Schools. BCLUW began its A World in Motion STEM program in March 2013. The program is being implemented in grades K-8.
"My students really enjoyed the first unit, creating sails," said BCLUW teacher Pam Doak. "I wasn't sure if they were getting the scientific concepts, but their presentations at the end of the unit proved they did. The hands-on aspect of this program is very appealing."
STEM education is an important aspect to consider, said BCLUW superintendent Ben Petty.
"The AWIM program is a good opportunity for students. It helps build excitement for science and math, and hopefully will steer students in STEM-related career paths in the future. I'm excited to see students' growth in the next year in STEM-related subjects," Petty said.
About A World in Motion
SAE International's AWIM program brings science, technology, engineering and math education to students in kindergarten through grade 8 at BCLUW, and around the nation.
"Our goal is to educate kids on possible STEM careers and to focus on improving achievements in the field," said Chris Ciuca, SAE International director of pre-professional programs. "The program is a hands-on engineering design experience with three levels. At the primary level, students will learn about scientific literacy. At the elementary level, students do data-driven decision making. And finally, at the middle school level, students perform consumer-based research. The integrated approach of this program is a huge advantage for schools. It brings math, science and language-arts together to broaden the students' knowledge of STEM subjects."
For more information on A World in Motion, or any of the other STEM Scale-Up programs being offered, visit www.iowastem.gov.

This brings to mind a little news you can use this week about an easy way to find out if airports along your route are closed, and winter flying tips from the AOPA Air Safety Institute. Even Sebring, Florida was on the chilly side, though near-freezing temperatures, Friday rain and gusty wind on Saturday didn't douse all the fun at the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo, which hosted drones for the first time this year.

You may not realize it, but we're living in the golden age of weather flying—and things are only going to get better. So what can we expect in the years to come? In this final installment of our Weather Wise video series, we take a look at how technology will change the experience of weather planning and flying.
Responding to a simulated engine-out during training is one thing. Responding to a real engine-out is another, and as pilots we should know how to respond to ensure our chances of a safe landing. In this video, we discuss best practices for responding to an engine failure in cruise and on takeoff, as well as ways to help prevent an engine failure from happening in the first place.
A New York pilot was flying his Cirrus SR22 home to Republic Airport in Farmingdale when the engine quit. A security camera captured the amazing touchdown.
The Aermacchi MB-326 Impala is among few jets that can tailslide in safety. The Impala, a military trainer, and a Sabreliner bizjet are flown by former astronauts in California who teach pilots how to recover from very unusual attitudes.
In-flight weather monitoring is a critical component of good decision making. In this video, we look at how to maintain strong situational awareness with respect to weather, and using that awareness to make good decisions should things not go as planned.
Frigid temperatures require special attention, and that goes beyond preheating at some airports. We'll look at airports where altitude corrections are required for safe instrument approaches.
We're usually able to make fairly solid go/no-go decisions well in advance of a planned flight. But when conditions are marginal, the decision to launch, postpone, or cancel can be tricky. In this installment of the AOPA Air Safety Institute's Weather Wise video series, we look at factors to consider when the weather complicates your plans.
The most significant milestone for an aviator is their first solo.
AOPA Live's Paul Harrop shows us it's a team effort to get there.

Year after year, unintended stalls are among the leading causes of fatal aviation accidents. The "departure" or "power-on" stall is practiced during flight training, but in a controlled, coordinated scenario at a high altitude. Unexpected stalls during takeoffs or go-arounds are sudden, sharp, and frightening. At low altitude, even a brief loss of aircraft control may be unrecoverable. This video explains the differences in power-on stall training versus real-world scenarios, the aerodynamics of how stalls occur during takeoffs and go-arounds, and techniques pilots can use to prevent them.

Okay, start in the south this time. Those white ovals in the STZ are so very difficult. Maybe even impossible in a 6". But, last night there just seemed to be a little something there. Whatever it was seems a little far south to be ovals, but something tickled the retina in that vicinity. So, they got thrown on the sketch with the caveat of "maybe" having seen them.
Okay, for the first time, really, I got to actually see a little color in BA. Some of you report it often, to me it was just grey. Not last night. It was really kind of a peach or light orange-ish. The GRS, too, just the slightest hint of some tone other than grey. That was exciting. That darker trailing oval was less distinct, only saw it a handful of times. There is a faint belt preceding BA, too.
Oh, the wake was quite nice. Okay, I realize I have been missing some accuracy sketching the wake as it passes over the GRS. It's not diving down onto the GRS, at least not anymore. It's actually stretching across the GRS almost connecting both sides of the wake. The "string of pearls" effect was not as evident, but there certainly was a lot going on in the trailing wake. Pretty hard to sketch.
In the SEB, the festoons seem pretty indistinct. That are definitely blue, but kind of all crunched up against the NEB. Just laying there, no real prominent streaks jetting into the EZ (even though I over did one just a bit.) There are some darker patches of albedo between the festoons and the EQ belt, and of course a few very white spots and white streaks.
Now, the NEB was devoid of it's brighter rifts, and it's almost plain. Almost. If you look closely, there are definitely some softer, light albedo in the north, and corresponding a bit darker albedo in the south. This gives the NEB a very broad, molted look.
The NTB seemed to lack it' "eyeliner." But, there are some darker sections across it's northern edge. Even a tiny bit of abledo variance near the east.
Anyway, this session took over an hour and a half ending at 1630UT. Sys I 298, Sys II 301. What else? Oh, seeing about 8 to 9/10, trans mag 5. This was sketched at 175x with UO 18mm HD Ortho and Celestron 2x shorty working at 1.6x.

Eastern gorilla
The Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) is one of the two subspecies of the Eastern Gorilla. There are two populations, one is found in the Virunga volcanic mountains of Central Africa, the other in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. this photograph was taken in Virunga National Park in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). (Source Ad Meskens, via Wikimedia Commons)
The Eastern Gorilla (scientific name: Gorilla beringei) is one of two species of gorilla in the family of species known as Hominidae or "Great Apes." Hominidae include humans, chimpanzees, orangutans as well as gorillas. After chimpanzees, gorillas are the closest relatives of humans.
Eastern gorillas are found in central Africa in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and in the western parts of Uganda and Rwanda near the DRC border.
The largest of the living apes, the gorilla has a characteristically heavy body shape, with broad chests and long arms, and a shaggy dark coat. Gorillas are quadrupedal, walking on the knuckles of their forelimbs and the soles of their feet. Until recently all gorillas were considered to belong to single species, but there is now wide aceptance that the populations in western and central Africa are distinct species, each with (this may be changed) two subspecies.
The two indentified subspecies of Eastern gorilla are the critically endangered Mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) and the more common, but still endangered, Eastern lowland gorilla or "Grauer's gorilla" (Gorilla beringei graueri.)

|Conservation Status
Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Animalia
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) reports that there are only about 300 mature adult Mountain gorillas (the entire population is estimated to be about 680 - 720 individuals). After decades of decline, the numbers of this subspecies appear to have increased slightly in recent years. However, if this increase is real, it it likely occuring among a small number of gorilla groups in highly protected areas of rich ecology.
The number of Eastern lowland gorillas is larger but has suffered a rapid decline due to the wars and civil conflicts that have occurred in areas where they live in the eastern part of the DRC along with poaching and encroahment by humans on the gorilla's habitat. A 1995 estimate put their numbers at 16,900, while a 2004 study by Conservation International estimated that their numbers had dropped to 5,000 or less.
Eastern gorillas live in stable, cohesive family groups, led by a dominant silverback male. Eastern gorillas tend to have larger group sizes than their western relatives, exceptionally numbering more than 50 individuals. There is no distinct breeding season and females give birth only once every three to four years due to the gestation period of 8.5 months and a long period of parental care. Newborn gorillas have greyish-pink skin and can crawl after nine weeks; they are not fully weaned until 3.5 years. Males defend their females and offspring using their large size in intimidating displays involving charging and chest-beating.
Eastern gorillas are herbivorous, with a heavily foliage-based diet. They have smaller home ranges than western gorillas as foliage is more abundant than fruit. They are diurnal but most foraging occurs in the morning and late afternoon. At night they build nests by folding over vegetation, usually on the ground.
Physical Description
Gorillas are the largest primate, with average lengths of 150 cm (4' 11") for females and 185 cm (6' 1") for males. They are sexually dimorphic, with females weighing 70 to 114 kg (154 - 251 lbs) and males averaging 160 kg (353 lbs). In addition to being much larger than females, mature male gorillas have a large skull crest.
They have robust bodies, long muscular arms, short legs, massive heads, and males have large, sharp canine teeth.
Mountain gorillas and Eastern lowland gorillas differ subtly in a number of ways. Mountain gorillas are slightly larger, have longer hair, larger cranium, broader facial skeleton, larger jaws and teeth, and less round nostrils. Mountain gorilla coats are silky and long, ranging in color from blue-black to brownish-grey.
Evolutionarily, these two subspecies are estimated to separated about 400,000 years ago.
At about 14 years old, the hair in the saddle of the backs of Eastern gorilla males turns white and hence they are known as 'silverbacks'.
Males also have apocrine glands in their armpits that emit a strong odor when the animal is under stress.
Behavior and Reproduction
The behavior of eastern gorillas, particularly Mountaintain gorillas, have been studied closely for many years. Centers like the Karisoke Research Center inside Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park (established by Dian Fossey in 1967) have provided a long term capacity for the careful study of these animals.
Eastern gorillas live in three three types of groups:
Single male groups are the most common social unit, with the male has a harem of usually 3-4 females and their offspring, with a total of eight to eleven indivuals being common. In this polygynous arrangement the dominant male in each group has exclusive access to all the female. These groups are non-territorial, but severe intergroup conflicts can occur when groups encounter each other and especially if a lone male contacts the group. The dominant male of a group is massive compared to the other members and they all defer to him.
Multi-male groups with females account for about 10% of groups in Eastern lowland gorillas and a higher percentage amount Mountain gorillas (up to half in some areas at some times). These groups have an a overall dominant male who has access to all or most of the females; but subordinate males still have mating opportunities and can succcesfuly have off-spring. Multi-male groups are very rare with Western gorillas and the commonality of the them among Eastern gorillas is a notable difference between the two species. These types of groups can become much larger (one observed group reached 65 members at one point, but this was exceptional.)
- Multi-male groups without females can form with males too young to establish their own group.
A 2000 study of Mountain gorillas in the Virungas counted 359 individuals of an estimated total population of 395. There were 32 social groups of which just over half were multi-male. The average group size was eleven. There were ten solitary males. Just under half the population were immature individuals.
Females seem to have independence and will leave a group to join another or a single male if they find life in their group unacceptable. Thus, there seems to be strong motivation for dominant males to create an good life for the females in his group. Like human social groups, the dynamics within gorilla groups are dynamic and have complicated inter-relationships.
When a dominant male dies, a group without other males may disintegrate and the females with attach themselves to other group. In a multi-male group a subordinate male will usually assume leadership. Even before a male dies, he may find his leadership challenged from inside a multi-male group or from outside a single-male group.
Males often leave the natal group at around 11 years of age. Males, however, can't join an establish group, and they spend much time in solitary existence until they can gain females and begin a group of their own and start breeding at age 15 or older.
Among the Mountain gorillas of Virungas, females become sexually mature at about six-and-a-half years, but do not became able to conceive for another two years, during which they are termed "sub-adult." Females transfer from their natal group to a new group before breeding. This generally occurs at around 8 years of age. Often they join a lone male and start a new group, rather than join an established group and be a lower ranking female.
Reproductive rates are slow and a female may leave only 2 to 6 offspring over a 40 year life-span. Reproductive output for females is about one surviving offspring every 8 years (survival implying the offspring reaching breeding age). Males that have harems of 3 to 4 females increase their reproductive output by fathering 10 to 20 offspring over 50 years.
Mating behavior is initiated by the female, with a series of slow and hesitant approaches to the male. A female is receptive only during estrus, and she will cease to ovulate for several years after giving birth. The length of the estrous cycle of a female mountain gorilla is 28 days, and there is no visible external menstrual flow.
A single, dependent young is born after a eight and a half month gestation period. Weaning often doesn't occur until three years of age, and juveniles may remain with mothers for years after that.
Females provide most of the parental care in this species. Females nurse and carry their young for about 4 years. They also play with the young, teach them, and groom them. Grooming often occurs between females and males, or among females.
The role of males in parental care is less direct, although no less important. Males protect the females and the young within their social group from potentially infanticidal rival males who may try to take control of the group. Infanticide, when it occurs, is thought by many to be motivated by new dominant males seeking to speed up their sexual access to females by killing an infant rather than waiting for it to be weaned (during which time the mother is not fertile.) The frequency and motivations for infanticide among gorillas is a topic on ongoing discussion among primatologists.
Gorillas spend about 30% of the day feeding, 30% traveling, and 40% resting.
Each night, gorillas make nests in which to sleep and rest. The Mountain gorillas in the Virungas mostly build nests on the ground, while Eastern lowland gorillas in lowland tropical forests build their nests in trees about half the time. Eastern lowland gorillas in higher altitude montane forests use trees less frequently.
Gorillas can reach ages of 40 to 50 years.
All primates have complex patterns of communication. Gorillas are known to use vocalizations to communicate with one another. Silverbacks will use barks, hoots, roars, screams are used in a situation of escalating tension such as the presence of an outside silverback. Vocalizations can be accompanied by thumping the ground, beating the chest, and charges toward the outside threat. Other situations have their own types of vocalizations. Vocalizations are also related to a a gorillas position within a group. Sometime vocalizations are part of an exchange with one or more others in the group, but most vocalizations elicit no response and it is unclear what meaning they have. Tactile communication, in the form of grooming, play, and sexual contact, also occurs. Males emit a strong odor when stressed, which appears to function as a type of chemical communication. In addition to these, gorillas use body postures and facial expressions, as well as other visual signals, to communicate with one another.
Eastern gorillas are found in central Africa in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in the western parts of Uganda and Rwanda near the DRC border.
The Eastern Lowland Gorilla is endemic to 21,600 km2 in the eastern part of the DRC (a decline of 25% in the past 50 years.) It is found in disconnected areas east of the Lualaba River and west of the Albertine Rift, and from the northwest corner of Lake Edward in the north, to the northwest corner of Lake Tanganyika in the South. The southern limit of the current Eastern Lowland Gorilla range has been extended by the discovery in late 2007 of a hitherto unreported population in the Hewa Bora region east of Kilembwe in Fizi District."
Important protected areas in region include: Maiko National Park, Usala Gorilla Reserve, Tayna Gorilla Reserve, Kisimba Ikobo Nature Reserve (with Bakumbule Primate Reserve), Bakano Forest Reserve, Kahuzi-Biéga National Park, and Massif d'Itombwe Nature Reserve, Punia Gorilla Reserve, Maniema Forest Reserve, and Luama Game Reserve. A new community reserve is being planned for the Masisi region south of Virunga National Park.
The approximately 700 surviving mountains gorillas are found in two isolated populations in the Albertine Rift area that overlaps the borders of Rwanda, Uganda and the DRC.
One Mountain gorilla population is found in a 440 km2 area of the Virunga Mountains/Virunga Volcanoes region where three national parks that connect at the border of the three nations and form one area: Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda; Virunga National Park in the DRC; and, Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda.) These parks include most of the remaining forest in the area.
The second Mountain gorilla population is found in the 330 km2 area of the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in in southwestern Uganda. There is an ongoing discussion among scientists about whether the Bwindi population of 300-320 individuals should be considered a separate and third subspecies of the Eastern gorilla.
The eastern gorilla inhabits tropical forest near the equator. Mountain gorillas are found at altitudes between 1,160 and 4,100 metres while eastern lowland gorillas occur between 600 and 2,900 metres above sea level.
The Eastern lowland gorillas occupy Northeastern Congolian lowland tropic rain forests (500 m altitude) east of the Congo River which rises to the west through transitional forests to Afromontane habitat (2,800 m altitude) in the mountains on the western edge of the Albertine Rift.
Mountain gorillas of the Virunga Vocanoes inhabit the montane cloud forest that are part of Albertine Rift montane forests ecoregion at altitudes ranging from of 1,500 m to 3,600 m altitude. In the low elevations of the Virungas, forests of bamboo provide cover for mountain gorillas. At altitudes above 3,500 m, montane rainforest grades through Juniper forest and Ericaceous Heathland into the tussock grass and Giant Lobelia dominated altimontane vegetation of the Ruwenzori-Virunga montane moorlands. Occasionally the gorillas go into the afro-alpine meadows (4,000 m) where temperatures are subfreezing at night and there is little suitable food to forage on.
Mountain gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (1,100 m - 2,400 m in altitude) are in hilly, mixed forest habitat with a desnse understory.
Food & Feeding Habits
Mountain gorillas occasionally eat invertebrates, but they are primarily folivorous. They eat the roots, leaves, stems, and pith of herbs, vines, shrubs, and bamboo. Their diet is supplemented by small amounts of bark, wood, roots, flowers, fruit, fungi, epithelium stripped from roots, galls, invertebrates, and gorilla dung. Their diet varies with altitude and vegetation. For example, the Mountain gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park include a lot of fruit in their diet.
Eastern lowland gorillas have a somewhat more varied diet with more fruit than mountain gorillas and supplementing plant food like leaves, stems, and seeds with insects like ants and termites. At higher altitudes, the diet of Eastern lowland gorillas begins to look a little more like that of Mountain gorillas with fewer insects and more baboo.
Threats & Conservation Status
The Eastern gorilla is classified as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List, and listed on Appendix I of CITES. This is due both to habitat destruction and severe poaching pressures. The Mountain gorilla subspecies is classified as Critically Endangered because of its small population, limited habitat, the pressures on that habitat, and threats to animals.
A 1995 estimate of the population of eastern lowland gorillas put their numbers at 16,900, while a 2004 study by Conservation International estimated that their numbers had dropped to 5,000 or less. The Virunga population was estimated to comprise 380 individuals in 2003, while there were estimated to be just 300 individuals in the Bwindi population in 2006. Today estimate of population vary, but typically fall in the range of 680-720 individuals total.
Gorilla species are subjected to heavy pressure from poaching for bushmeat, body parts and for young animals collected for zoos and private collections, generating illegal income. The mountain gorilla occurs mainly within national parks and in some areas is protected by armed guards to prevent poaching.
One of the greatest threats to the Eastern gorilla is the conflict that has raged in the area for over a decade. The resultant movements of refugees and malitias, and breakdown of authority, has put pressure on those protecting gorilla areas, and directly on gorillas who can be killed in crossfire or find find their habitat degrade by people in need of firewood or something else. In the mid 1990's, the number of Eastern lowland gorillas in Kahuzi-Biéga National Park was estimated to be about 8,000; today the number may be a low as 1,000, accounting for most of the drop in the overall population of Eastern gorillas. In 2007 eight Mountain gorillas in Virunga National Park in the DRC were killed.
Even without the ongoing civil conflict, pressures on gorilla habitat are significant. In both Rwanda and Burundi there are very high human population densities and in many areas the only stands of forest remaining are within Forest Reserves or National Parks, or those stands found in the most mountainous and therefore inaccessible areas.
In Uganda, a similar situation occurs, where forest habitat has been lost from the majority of areas that are not protected by National Parks or which do not have Forest Reserve status.
However, in the more eastern and southern portions of the Itombwe Mountains in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the population density is lower, and far greater areas of forest exist, including complete transition zones between lowland and montane forest types. There remains a worry that some of these areas may be logged and this should form a focus of any future conservation initiatives within the ecoregion. However, on each mountain block within the range the habitat has also been fragmented through the activities of man, specifically subsistence farming. Probably the least fragmented and most extensive area of habitat is found within the Itombwe Mountains of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In other areas, the forests are typically confined within protected areas, with the land between these areas largely farmed and occupied by people.
Eastern gorillas, particularly Mountain gorillas are very popular with ecotourists. This industry provides jobs and revenue to the local economy and incentives for the continued protection of habitat. However, close proximatey to humans carries the risk of disease transmission to the gorillas and unintended impact on their habitat. Studies have shown that, on balance, gorillas visited regularly by ecotourists fare better that others; probably because they receive greater monitoring and protection.
Due to the high population density in the areas surrounding Mountain gorillas in particular, and continuing population growth, some people feel that the land would be better put to higher commercial use for humans through conversion to agriculture or ther uses. However, ecotourism, the high international visibility of gorillas, particularly Mountain gorillas (achieved by individuals such as scientist Dian Fossey with her book Gorillas in the Mist), and numerous conservation initiatives, many of which recognize the importance of local human education and development as a part of gorilla protection, makes alternative uses of national parks unlikely. Though other areas are more vulnerable to encroachment.
These animals are very large, and live in regions where not many potential predators, other than humans, exist. It is not likely that they fall prey to any particular species with any regularity.
Research and Conservation
Because of their isolation, the scientific study of Eastern gorillas is a relative recent endeavor. Geoge Schaller undertook a two-year study of Mountain gorillas in 1959 resulting in The Mountain Gorilla: Ecology and Behavior (1963) and the more recent The Year of the Gorilla (1997). Dian Fossey undertook a far long and more comprehensive study first in the DRC in late 1966, before moving to Rwanda in the following year where she established the Karisoke Research Center. From there she studied the local Mountain gorillas for eighteen years until she was murdered in 1985. The Center continues is scientific and conservation work to the present under as part of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International.While these two scientists are perhaps the most famous, many others have contributed significantly to the study of these animals.
Local scientific capacity has increased significant in the last two decade. For example, the Institute of Forest Tropical Conservation at Mbarara University in Uganda has significant program of reserach in [Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda|Bwindi Impenetrable National Park]] and Makerere University Institute of Environment and Natural Resources is also active. Government agencies are also important particpants in scientific work including, Uganda's National Forest Authority and Wildlife Authority,
Most international organizations active in the area, like the Africa Wildlife Foundation, Wildlife Conservation Society, World Wildlife Fund undertake a combination of scientific and conservation work. For example, the Wildlife Conservation Society's program includes scientific monitoring and surveying with capacity building of national organizations and support to management activities in parks and other protected area.
Conservation program generally recognize the importance of address the related issues of human development in the communities near gorilla habitats. Ecotourism is widely supported as a way of bringing jobs, dollars and appreciation for the gorillas and their habitats to local communities.
While eastern gorillas are one of the most well recognized and charismatic species in the world, and organizations dedicated to their protection receive greater support than those dedicated to many other environmental concerns, they are still one of the most imperiled species. Their small numbers and fractured habitat, combined with systemic outside pressures from local human needs for resources and development, and (tragically not so transient) pressures from wars and civil conflicts, make the future of Eastern gorillas very uncertain.

Support pours out for teacher, racer at Osceola Dragway
OSCEOLA — This was exactly the event for Ryan Gortney. Family and friends coming together for a good cause, coupled with the roar of engines at Osceola Dragway.
Unfortunately, Gortney could not attend the festivities because the fundraiser was actually a benefit for him.
Several weeks ago, the Elkhart Area Career Center instructor and drag racer suffered severe neck injuries while testing his Wheelie Wagon car.
After hearing about the accident, NHRA driver and Elkhart native Terry McMillen and Scott Wahlstrom, marketing manager for Lane Automotive, decided to put on a fundraiser for Gortney to help with his medical bills. And they knew exactly where they wanted to hold it.
Wahlstrom said it took about two weeks to put together the event, which ran from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Sunday and featured car shows, raffles and a silent auction.
What pleasantly surprised Wahlstrom was the attendance at the event. He estimated 3,500 to 4,000 people, which Chuck Begler, a head judge for the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine Challenge, attributed to Gortney's personality and influence on his friends and students.
"There's a lot of good teachers out there," said Begler referring to instructors in the Engine Challenge, "but he's right there at the top."
For the last several years, Gortney has led teams from the Career Center in the competition. Begler noted Gortney's hands-on approach to instruction and his passion for wanting his students to succeed. Gortney's teams have qualified for the national competition held in Las Vegas for three of the past four years, according to Wahlstrom.
Many people came out to support Gortney with the hope he gets back to doing what he loves soon.
"Every day he's better," Wahlstrom said. He noted that Gortney was in for a long recovery process, adding that he recently began physical therapy. His arms get tired easily and he struggles to move his legs at this point, but the prognosis is good and Gortney's attitude is positive.
"He's a fighter, he's like Superman," Wahlstrom laughed, meaning his friend probably won't be held back too long.

Deputies say George Zimmerman's girlfriend accused him of pointing a shotgun at her during an argument at the home they shared in Florida.
Chief Deputy Dennis Lemma said Monday during a press conference in Sanford that Zimmerman was charged with aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief after the dispute.
Lemma says no one was hurt, and no one else was at the home when deputies arrived.
Deputies say Zimmerman had barricaded himself inside by wedging furniture against the door before officers arrived. His girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe, was outside the home and gave deputies a key to get inside.
Lemma says once deputies got inside, Zimmerman did not resist and was not armed. He says investigators hope to search the home for any weapons.
