The bottom line is they already have all the best lawyers on the planet on speed-dial, so don't go writing off the name iPhone too quickly!

November 28, 2014
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Los Angeles County jury says Southern California Edison must pay $4 million to a woman repeatedly shocked in her home by stray electricity.
The Daily Breeze reports Simona Wilson of Redondo Beach was awarded $1 million in compensatory damages and $3 million punitive damages from the utility Tuesday.
Wilson's attorneys say she filed the lawsuit after stray electricity pulsed through her showerhead and left her with nerve damage in her hands and feet. Her home is near an Edison substation and was originally built by the utility to rent to its employees.
Edison said in a statement that it made sufficient efforts to address Wilson's problem and the award is inconsistent with the evidence presented in court. The utility says it is disappointed, and deciding whether to appeal.

very nice sofa
By Kt
from Pittsburgh
Comments about Colette Sofa:
Pros:-Sturdy sofa, the cushions really keep their shape-covers are removeable-the pattern helps make cat scratching damage less noticeable-It is very deep and if you remove the back pillows its just like a twin bed.-very stylish, goes with everythingCons:-tweed like fabric can be uncomfortable in the summer-the back cushions are short and there is no place to rest your head-the back cushions also tend to sink behind the sitting cushions so you have to readjust often.Overall, a solid couch for the price..very well made.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Stylish sleeper sofa
By Selenebean
from Philadelphia, PA
I purchased this sleeper sofa for the guest room/office in our home. The couch itself is stylish and fits many styles of decor. Price is unbeatable. I searched every furniture store possible, and this was the best price for the product. The mattress is OK, not great. I added a 1.5" foam pad to the bed for when guests are using the sleeper. Even with the foam topper, I could still feel the metal bars of the bed, so I also ended up buying a bar protector which really made all the difference. Now the bed is comfortable and I haven't had any complaints.

Collette Sofa and Love seat
By Penny Saver
from Silver Spring, MD
I bought this set(sofa and loveseat) approximately two years ago and it still looks new. The cushions are not easily worn down and stains are easily removed. Right now I'm looking to add a little more color to my living room so I'm looking for additional pillows to blend in with the set. Overall, the set is a good investment for long term use.

from Atlanta, Georgia
A wonderful set. We've had this for two years now, and has withstood parties, dogs, and daily use beautifully. Still looks amazing and is incredibly comfortable. Great for lounging and for napping. Very happy with this purchase. Actually considered a similar Rooms to Go set, but this was much higher quality and a great deal.
Love this sofa!
By MKPHL
from Alexandria, VA
This is our only sofa in our one bedroom apartment and we love it! We purchased the sofa about 6 months ago and still looks great. It is stylish yet comfortable.

Daylight savings means dangerous drivers
John Latta | March 7, 2013
Here comes daylight saving time. And with it, says the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), a sudden wave of tired (read dangerous) drivers.
"In one night, this will generate a 300 million-hour national sleep debt and in the few days it takes our bodies to adjust, our nation will accumulate over a billion hours of lost sleep. In transportation, this lost sleep kills, injures, and costs billions of dollars," blogs Dr. Mark R. Rosekind, a Member of the National Transportation Safety Board and an internationally recognized expert in the field of sleep and fatigue science. "The hour we lose when clocks are set forward every spring offers our already sleep-deprived country a glimpse into the dangers of operating vehicles while fatigued."
There is, says Rosekind, "a 17-percent increase in crashes on our roadways on the Monday following the time change." The answer, he says, is in ourselves. Basically, be aware of the sleep you have lost, be aware you are tired as you adjust, and find a way to transition. "This year when we all spring forward, lose an hour in some other part of your life. Get the sleep you need and then maintain that sleep amount throughout the year. Sleep as if your life and those around you depend on it."

Byron Lars Beauty Mark Fall Presentation Set for Valentine's Day
Byron Lars Beauty Mark is scheduled to debut its Fall 2013 collection February 14, 2013 during New York Fashion Week. The Byron Lars Beauty Mark Fall 2013 collection is a textile laboratory gone mad! "It's really all about the fabric this season", says Lars. "I'm absolutely obsessed at the moment with any textile that pulsates with texture and energy... the kind that compels you to just reach out and touch them!"
Whether considering the magnificence of faux leather sequins on tulle net, or the surprise of torched laminate guipure lace, this collection may be "all about the fabric" for Mr. Lars. But beautiful fabric is by no means all there is to this captivating body of work. Brimming with impeccable cutting and meticulous engineering, these are the clothes of which dreams are made.
Three distinct themes emerge and resound throughout the Fall 2013 Collection, the origins of which are not surprisingly textile-related.
The first is a good girl/bad girl intrigue; achieved through devices such as the vixen-ization of demure 1950's day dresses cut in sumptuous stretch pleather, while delicate lace is juxtaposed and artillerized with chain maille.
An ironic element of athleticism also prevails throughout the sophisticated collection. Unlikely couplets like a boucle' luncheon suit' integrates chenille braid racing stripes and sports mesh detailing while a curve hugging tailored peg skirt seems ready for either head turning or deep Sea diving with its scuba-bonded interior.
A halcyon notion of global community assimilates the collection. A prolific, harmonious and loose mix of several different cultural references such as a furry union jack of faux mink strips appears on the back of a pseudo fur jacket. A scuba brocade coat is a cross between a spacesuit and an article found at the Chinese National Museum.

Dinos' (and Kinesiology's) Andrew Buckley named Canada West MVP
A sensational season by University of Calgary Dinos quarterback Andrew Buckley has earned him the Canada West nomination for the Hec Crighton Trophy. Buckley, a fourth-year kinesiology student, was named winner of both the Frank Gnup Memorial Trophy as most outstanding player as well as the conference's student-athlete community service award as Canada West announced its annual football awards Thursday.
Buckley led all quarterbacks in the conference with a 64.3 completion percentage, tossing for 272 yards per game along with a Canada West-best 21 touchdowns. He tossed for 2,175 yards on 142-221 passing, and he threw fewer interceptions than any other starting quarterback in the league, boasting an incredible 4.5 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
Killam scholar Kelsey Collins takes "wide lens" to the problem of arthritis.
Kelsey Collins, a PhD candidate in Walter Herzog's lab, explores how inflammation associated with obesity may contribute to osteoarthritis. Collins was recently announced as the winner of a prestigious Killam Pre-Doctoral Scholarship. Collins' project looks to better understand "subgroups" within the larger group of people who suffer from arthritis. "Reading the body of literature in arthritis, it became very apparent to me that obesity was, by far, one of the biggest risk factors and, by far, one of the most poorly understood, especially from a mechanical standpoint," she says. "I just got really curious: What's going on with these obese patients? How can we create models to understand what's going on with them?"
United Way Skate and Donate a huge success!
The exact numbers aren't in yet, but hundreds of skaters and runners showed up Friday at noon for Kinesiology's first annual Skate and Donate fundraiser for the United Way. The skate was led by enthusiastic Olympian and United Way "Do Gooder" Gilmore Junio, and saw an energetic pack of skaters triple the goal of 500 laps in just half and hour. Skaters enjoyed a pizza lunch in the Olympic Oval Lounge following the skate. Thanks to all of you who showed up. There's still plenty of time to make your donation to the United Way.

1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to an electrical connectors and more particularly to an electrical connector of IEEE 1394 interface that can be used in both inverted and low profile type design.
2. Description of Related Art
1394 interface, the full name called as IEEE1394 interface, also known as Firewire interface, is a high speed and low cost digital interface used universally in computers, communication devices and Digital Home Entertainment Equipment. IEEE1394 interface (firewire) is developed first by the Apple Corporation of USA for connection in Internet, then later standardized by the IEEE Standard Organization. At present, electrical connectors produced in this technique are used extensively and formed as a common interface standard in the electronics industry, generally this kind of connector are used for connecting various computer peripheral or digital products. Please refer to U.S. Pat. No. 6,165,015 (as shown in
The primary object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector, which is designed in low profile structure so to inlay the integral connector in the circuit board thus to spare the limited room occupied by the connector itself.
The second object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector, which is an electrical connector designed in inverted structure so as the circuit board mated therewith has much more room in designing.
To achieve the above objects, the present invention takes advantage of the following technique scheme. The electrical connector according to the present invention, mounted on a circuit board used for matching with a complementary electrical connector, comprises an insulative housing, a metal shell, a plurality of terminals and a rear cover. In the present invention, the multiple terminals are accommodated in the insulative housing, the metal shell is clasped on the insulative housing, and then the rear cover is assembled on the insulative housing. The connector uses a reversal design, make it has a conception of inverted connector. The two side walls of the metal shell are respectively stamped with a wing which consists of a connecting portion, an arch portion and a solder portion, thus a portion of the connector itself can be inlaid in the circuit board and can be engaged tightly therewith.
Compare with the existing arts, the connector of the present invention adopts an inverted and low profile design, which can spare the limited room occupied by the connector itself to meet the design requisitions of the current industry.
In order to further illustrate the technique content of the present invention detailed description with attached drawings is given hereinafter.
Please refer to
Wherein the insulative housing 2 is divided by a mating face 21 into a comparatively large rear base portion 22 and a comparatively small front mating portion 23 thus forming a stepped body. Inside the rear base portion 22 and the front mating portion 23, there have a plurality of communicated receiving channels 231 for disposing the terminals 4. There defines two symmetrical sliding grooves 2211 on the intersecting place between the upper surface 221 of the comparatively large rear base portion 22 and the stepped mating face 21 as a sliding passageway for the abutting pieces 322 on the top wall 32 of the metal shell 3, on the rear side of the sliding grooves 2211 having two corresponding concave grooves 2212 on the same line of the sliding grooves 2211. The concave grooves 2212 are structures configured to match and clasp with the above clasping pieces 322 after they passed through the sliding grooves 2211. There also defines two symmetrical concave grooves 2221 on the intersecting place between the lower surface 222 of the comparatively large rear base portion 22 and the stepped mating face 21, configured to match with the clasping pieces 322 on the bottom wall 33 of the metal shell 3. Besides, there each has a concave portion 223 on two sides of the comparatively large rear base portion 22 for fastening the insulative housing 2 within the metal shell 3 and to make a portion of the rear base portion 22 of the insulative housing 2 exposed out of the notch 35 of the metal shell 3, it is also a matching structure for the side walls 52 of the rear cover 5, and on two sides of the exploded portion of the rear base portion 22 each having a locating pole 224 as a locating and fastening structure with the circuit board.
The metal shell 3 includes two side walls 31, a top wall 32 and a bottom wall 33, which are connected with each other forming an inserting section 34 for inserting the insulative housing 2. The top wall 32 of metal shell 4 has at least a spring piece 321 adjacent to a side of the inserting section 34, and the bottom wall 33 of the metal shell 3 having at least a similar spring piece 331. The top wall 32 and bottom wall 33 of the metal shell 3 each has two abutting pieces 322, 332 relative to another side of the spring pieces 321, 331 for matching with the concave grooves 2212, 2221 of the upper and lower surfaces 221, 222 of the insulative housing 4. The linking portions 36 between the two side walls 31 and the bottom wall 33 of the metal shell 3 each extend with a wing 311, which is stamped from the middle portion of the side wall 31, each comprising a connecting portion 3111, an arch portion 3112 and a solder portion 3113. An end of the connecting portion 3111 is connected with the linking portion 36 and extend upward to make another end thereof is higher than the above linking portion 36, thus making the connector 100 has a portion could be sunk down. The arch portion 3112, connected between the connecting portion 3111 and the solder portion 3113, is an upward oriented arc, which causes the connector 100 could engage with the circuit board closely when it is sunk down. The solder portion 3113, connected with the arch portion 3112, is a downward perpendicular structure for soldering to the circuit board. Besides, a side wall 31 of the metal shell 3 has an upper and a lower two cut corners 312, which are formed by cutting off the corners between the side walls 31 and the top wall 32 as well as the bottom wall 33 respectively.
The multiple terminals 4, each consisted of a fastening portion 41, a contact portion 42 and a plurality of clasping tabs 43, are accommodated in the terminal receiving channels 231 respectively, on the upper and lower surfaces of the middle portion of each terminal 4 having two transversely juxtaposed elastic clasping tabs 43 which has a function of positioning the terminal 4.

'êzer 'Help' )"zÕr (Strong's #5828)
'êzer 'Help' )"zÕr (Strong's #5828)
"And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone;
I will make him an help meet for him." (Genesis 2:18, KJV)
The masculine noun )"zÕr 'êzer means "help" (Strong's #5828, x21) as in the names 'eben-ezer "stone of help" or Ezra "help", often spelled with an ( or a h at the end (Strong's #5830/ #5833).
The use of the root verb )"zÕr 'âzar (Strong's #5826, x82) in the Hebrew Bible extends to some 80+ occasions, generally of military aid, help and support from a position of supply or strength. The noun is also used of military aid (e.g., Isaiah 30:5; Ezekiel 12:14; Hosea 13:91).
David Freedman notes that the possible root behind )"zÕr 'êzer may have been either '-z-r "to rescue, save" (as the Ugaritic) and/or 'g-z-r meaning "to be strong". The Hebrew letter (gh)ain probably, like Arabic, having previously had two forms implying two roots that may have later got confused when just one Phoenician sign served for both letters.
A survey of )"zÕr 'êzer's 20 or so uses reveals strong contexts and parallel terms for might or power, not ones of domestic servitude. Help is paired with shield on several occasions (Psalm 115:9-11). In over 80% of the occasions it is used, it refers to God as help. Another 3 refer to the help of man or armies. In the remaining 2 verses it refers to Adam's need of "help" in Eden, not as workforce, but as partner, as Genesis 2:20 reveals when he names all the animals but finds no "help" suitable, in this sense clearly a companion is being sought.
Based on this some commentators have suggested a new translation of v18: "I will make a power/strength corresponding to/equal to man", a relationship of equals. The term "help-mate" is a mishearing of the AV phrase, "an help meet for him" and was used in Darby's 1884 translation, "a helpmate, his like".
It is clear from the word's use as a superior force, whether aid, armies or the Almighty, that no sense of inferiority can be implied from the word, if anything the opposite.
The LXX, Greek Septuagint translation of the Old Testament, uses the word bohqos boêthos (Strong's #998) to translate )"zÕr 'êzer. Of its 45 uses, boêthos is used 42 times to refer to help from a stronger one, from a more secure or strengthened position, without need of reciprocal help. This strengthens the idea of "help" as equal or superior rather than inferior.

What happens to a piece of art after it's purchased?
If it's one of those record-breaking paintings that sell at auction for hundreds of millions of dollars, it probably languishes in some hermetically sealed warehouse vault, separated from the rest of the world until it comes ...
Savannah has a long history of attracting artists and creative types from far and wide.

For the money these are great. I bought 2 of these. We use them daily. They were easy to put together and they are sturdy. The rubber plugs in the bottom do come out when you pull them across the carpet- so I just superglued them in and we are good to go. They look great and stylish.
This was an amazing purchase from start to finish. We received it in 2 days and assembly took 5 minutes. The thick glass top is even better than the photo and the chrome frame is thick and sturdy. We are so happy with the table that we bought 2. The best part is the price. No where else has this table for less.
This is a great snack table and it matches our modern living room. You can even put hot mugs on their with no marks or staining. The chrome is sturdy and very shiny. We loved the price. Thanks
So pleased with this purchase. It's a great value and nice quality. The frosted glass top and chrome base really are sharp looking. Very sturdy and well made. I still can't believe how inexpensive it is. This was over $200 in other stores.
This is an awesome snack table. It's sturdy and made of great materials. I am so pleased with the price and the quality. The frosted glass is thick and it's perfect to eat at while at the sofa. Love it!
We needed a small table to put next to a sectional, between it and the wall. This table fits the bill perfectly. The frosted glass top is not bright white nor does it appear spa green either as some tempered glass does. It was easy to assemble and came at a great price.
Nice clean lines. works well , Owned it for 3 years no problems.
This little table is the perfect touch beside my sofa, small footprint, but holds a drink and my laptop. I love it, very good quality and you can't beat the price. Thanks Overstock
These are good side tables and, though small, function very well! The directions for assembly aren't the greatest but a little patience helps make up for what the directions lack. They're pretty sturdy but beware if you have little ones. They do have glass edges and could be a big dangerous.
Perfect fit for a small space! Easy assembly and good quality.

Voting in swarms is all the buzzPosted: October 10, 2014 Filed under: Environment, Farming and Food, Projects, Tech-know | Tags: #votecsiro, agriculture, bees, honey bees, innovation, swarm sensing 1 Comment
By Emily Lehmann
There's been a buzz around town about our bee research this year, and for good reason.
In a world first, we've been microchipping thousands of bees with tiny sensors in Australia and South America to monitor their activity and the way they interact with the environment.
We've called this 'swarm sensing' and it could help gather the information we need to find a solution to the mysterious and devastating decline of bees around the world.
While we've been buzzily strapping these tiny sensors on bees in the Amazon in collaboration with Vale Institute of Technology, there has been a swarm of attention around our work back home.
Swarm sensing hit the polls earlier this week, as one of five finalists in The Australian Innovation Challenge's category for Environment, Agriculture and Food. And, it's up to the people – that means you – to decide which one of these innovations deserves to win $5000.
Now, if cute honey bees wearing mini, colour-coordinated 'backpacks', isn't enough to sway your vote, then we've gathered a few hot facts about why this work is so critical to get you over the line:
- Around one third of the food we eat relies on bees for pollination.
- By aiding agriculture, honey bees earn an estimated $4-6 billion for Australia every year.
- Wild honey bee populations are dropping drastically or vanishing all together around the world. There are two major problems causing their decline: the varroa mite and the little understood Colony Collapse Disorder
- While there is a real risk, bees in Australia have not been affected by the Varroa mite or Colony Collapse Disorder.
- Parasites, pollution and pesticides are potential factors in the decline of honey bee populations.
To vote CSIRO, visit The Australian Innovation Challenge article and select 'swarm sensing' in the poll at the bottom of the page. Go on, #voteCSIRO and do it for the bees!
Bees backpacking in BrazilPosted: September 25, 2014 Filed under: Biosecurity, Environment, ICT, News, Tech-know | Tags: bees, biosecurity, sensors Leave a comment
By Emma Pyers
How do bees in the Amazon jungle compare to those in Tasmania? They get up earlier, for a start.
Paulo de Souza and his team have been tracking bees in the two regions using tiny backpack sensors as part of our Swarm Sensing Project to gather biological and ecological data to improve honey bee health.
The tiny backpacks are just a quarter of a centimetre square and are fitted to the back of the bees.
"We have already attached the micro-sensors to the backs of thousands of bees in Tasmania and the Amazon and we're using the same surveillance technologies to monitor what each bee is doing, giving us a new view on bees and how they interact with their environment," Paulo said.
"Once we have captured this information, we'll be able to model it. This will help us understand how to manage our landscapes in order to benefit insects like bees, as they play such a key role in our lives. For example, one third of the food we eat relies on bees for pollination, that's a pretty generous free service these humble insects provide us!"
Early modelling has shown one notable difference between the bees in Tasmania and those in the Amazon; Amazon bees are up and about very early in the morning while Tassie bees prefer to wait until the day warms up before they leave the hive.
But finding out what time bees get out of bed is only a tiny part of what the research can show us. For example the research will also look at the impacts of agricultural pesticides on honey bees by monitoring insects that feed at sites with trace amounts of commonly used chemicals.
A global buzz in micro sensing
We're working with the Vale Institute of Technology in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on micro-sensory technology and systems (read more about what Vale is up to here).
Working with researchers across the globe has its unique challenges as well as its rewards, and it's the physical challenges that have been the most interesting.
"As the Africanised honey bees were very aggressive, the hive was placed in an isolated area away from housing and domestic animals – and isolation meant working in densely vegetated areas," Paulo explained. "We had to clear a path to the hive and we wore fully protective bee clothing which was tough given the extreme humidity and heat."
The Brazilian media got a taste of what it was like to work in these conditions, when they suited up to interview Paulo and our colleagues from the Vale Institute of Technology about their work
The collapse in global populations
Bee health is important globally however, honey bee populations around the world are in danger.
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) – a phenomenon in which worker bees from a colony abruptly disappear – and Varroa mite are two major problems facing bee populations globally. While these two problems haven't appeared in Australia, there is a very real risk. And what happens if it does? Catastrophe!
Check out this video where Peter Norris, Tasmanian beekeeper, describes his first hand experience with CCD while working in the United Kingdom.
So it's a good thing our scientists, and their colleagues in Tassie and Brazil, are on the case.
To learn more about how we're trying to save honey bees around the world tune into ABC Catalyst at 8pm tonight.
CSIRO's Swarm Sensing Project is a partnership with the University of Tasmania and receives funding from Vale, a Global mining company.
Watch-bees on the jobPosted: August 4, 2014 Filed under: News | Tags: bees, biosecurity, Varroa mite 6 Comments
How much are bees worth to you?
Well, did you know they earn an estimated $4-$6B for Australia every year? Another way to look at it is – what price would you place on cashews, almonds, macadamias, strawberries and avocadoes? Among many others, these crops rely on bees for pollination. In fact, around one in three bites of the food we eat owe its existence to bees, which is why it is a concern to learn that bee populations around the world are in trouble.
Enter Destructive Varroa
Varroa mite (Varroa destructor) is in all beekeeping countries except ours. These sesame-seed-sized mites attach themselves to bees and suck their haemolymph (insects' version of blood), making the bee more vulnerable to disease. No country has been able to eradicate Varroa once it's established.
Varroa has been implicated in collapse of bee colonies. Adult worker bees suddenly leave the hive, dying somewhere else. The colony then falls apart. The underlying cause is often unclear, but devastated hives often contain Varroa mite. This may only be a coincidence, but it's another reason to keep Australia Varroa mite-free as long as possible. Colony collapse has become a major problem – particularly in the US.
The good news is we're unaffected – so far. The bad news is that when (and it is when, not if) Varroa mite arrives in Australia, local bees haven't been exposed to it, so they're extremely susceptible. There have already been a couple of scares in 2012. Varroa-carrying bees were found living in the loading cranes of a ship berthed off Sydney.
Australia is currently free of Varroa mite but not of Asian honey bees which is their natural host. We're already on alert, which is why horticultural industries, the honeybee industry and the Australian Government created a National Bee Pest Surveillance Program, managed nationally by Plant Health Australia.
Unfortunately no amount of surveillance can guarantee pests are kept out, so an early warning system is necessary.
The most likely entry point for Varroa mite is through Australia's east coast ports, especially from vessels from New Zealand and South-East Asia.
The National Bee Pest Surveillance Program now has 126 sentinel hives. These are hives of healthy European honey bees that are placed at high-risk locations, an average of six per location. These hives are tested every two months using mite-killing chemicals, to provide early detection for Varroa mites and another major honey bee pest, Tropilaelaps mites that could be carried by exotic bees on a ship or in the cargo. Samples of bees are taken from sentinel hives every two months.
But how do they know which ports to put the hives at? Enter data analytics.
The shipping news
Working out the best sites for the hives involved taking multiple data sets containing details on exotic bee interceptions, ships involved, ports of origin, destinations and types of cargo carried.
We used a technique called random effects modelling, a way of drawing out the relevant information when the precise characteristics of the members of the dataset– in this case the cargo, the last country of call and arrival port– are not all the same and difficult to quantify.
We started with shipping data. There is comprehensive information on those vessels that have arrived in Australia, when and from where. We matched this with records of exotic bee interceptions – sometimes on vessels, in machinery, or nesting on the outside of containers at ports. We then collected maps and aerial pictures of all Australian ports, to produce models of potential bee habitats. To know what to put into the models, we had to find out how far bees can swarm (5km maximum for Asian honey bees and 2km for European honey bees). We also had to learn how long a vessel would need to be in port for bees to find a place to swarm to. If there isn't enough time for scout bees to find a suitable site or a second set of bees to visit and 'approve' it, the colony will not swarm. That's also assuming it has a queen and is a genuine swarm. This was not always possible to establish with confidence from the interception data.
Some ports with desert or industrial areas nearby ports were ruled out because they have no habitat suitable for honey bees that are within swarming range. This also ruled out ports where the berthing location is relatively distant from the coast.
Data were then assessed to establish what cargo came to the more 'bee-hospitable' ports, where the vessels arrived from and how long the voyage had been. Voyages of 300 days or longer were excluded on the basis that the bees wouldn't survive a trip of that length.
The country of origin and type of cargo are also important considerations. Asian honey bees in particular like to nest in nooks in machinery which is subsequently shipped as cargo. These bees are less keen on – perhaps unsurprisingly – the barren hulls of empty vessels.
All this information and consideration have combined to produce a surveillance system that is likely to use resources effectively as possible and head off exotic and infected bees before they do any damage.
So, next time you're enjoying a handful of almonds, spare a thought for the bees that pollinated it and for the data analysis that goes into keeping those bees healthy.
Tiny technology creates a buzzPosted: January 15, 2014 Filed under: Environment, Farming and Food, News, Tech-know | Tags: bees, honey bees, sensors 23 Comments
By Adam Harper
What if I told you that insects in the environment may be able to tell us about the world they live in? Imagine it; they could reveal changes in climate, the presence of dangerous gases or even the arrival of pests. Now you might think this a flight of fancy and tell me to buzz off, but this may not be so far from reality.
Our new research project is using tiny sensors that act like your car's e-tag and attaching them to the backs of honey bees.
What the?
You heard right – bees with a chip on their shoulder, or on their back at least.
These tiny 2.5mm x 2.5mm chips relay data to recorders placed around hives and known food sources. We're not talking about one or two wired up insects here, 5,000 tags are currently being attached to honey bees in Hobart and released into the natural environment.
And why would our researchers do that?
Collecting bee movement information at this scale is a world first and will allow researchers to generate a four dimensional model (three dimensions over time) of bee behavior and the way these insects move through the landscape. This information is needed on a global scale as wild honey bee populations are dropping drastically or vanishing all together. In some instances this is because of the parasitic Varroa mite. In others it's a case of Colony Collapse Disorder, which is believed to be caused by diseases and agricultural pesticides.
CSIRO's Dr Paulo de Souza leads the project and talks about why it is so important to protect these often feared insects.
"Honey bees play an extremely important role in our daily lives. Around one third of the food we eat relies on pollination and this is a free service these insects provide. A recent CSIRO study showed that honey bees helped increase faba bean yield by up to 17 per cent. Knowing how bees interact with their environment will allow farmers, fruit growers and seed producers to manage their properties using honey bees to increase productivity," says Dr de Souza.
The research is also looking at the impacts of farm pesticides on honey bees and how much these chemicals contribute to CCD. Healthy bees means healthy landscapes.
Tagging the bees is only the first stage in the project. The next requires us to make the sensors even smaller, down to the size of a grain of sand so they can be used on smaller insects like mosquitoes and fruit flies.
"We also want these smaller tags to be able to sense environmental conditions such as temperature and presence of atmospheric gases; not just track their location."
"Further to this the sensors will be able to generate energy from the beating wings of the insects, which will give the sensors enough power to transmit information instead of just storing it until they reach a data logger," says Dr De Souza.
In short, insects will be real-time 'swarm sensing' at a scale never before achieved. Insects could become the canaries of the mines or the sniffer dogs of the airports. Bring on the buzz.

Although I can't stand him, he has been funny at times but he was not here.
Definitely not his best. He took the interview seriously and then got nailed by Landsberg.
He's about the best trash talker ever. He can't beat Jones or Anderson Silva though.
he got exposed at the end. he couldn't even think of a comeback for those last questions by landsberg. which is true, if he prepares for all of the usual questions in advance of course he can think of whitty answers. but when its on the spot he absolutely sucks.
