Home > Press > RUSNANO and ONEXIM Group to Finance High-Voltage Fiber Optic Metering Systems
RUSNANO and ONEXIM will invest in a project to produce fiber optic systems to measure electric current and voltage. The budget for the project is 1.1 billion rubles. During the initial stage, RUSNANO will invest 392 million rubles; it will reserve 212 million rubles for possible future investment. ONEXIM will be primary investor.
The project will establish commercial production in Russia of power consumption meters and protective systems for power grids. The fiber optic current and voltage sensor systems are based on nanofibers. They provide power, transport, metallurgy, mining, and other industrial sectors with innovative solutions and replace imports with domestic products that satisfy higher consumer requirements. Fiber optic sensors pave the way for intelligent power systems, like SmartGrid, ensuring the exactitude of measurement required in that type of line. The sensors also make it possible to control and manage electric power networks in real time.
Models of fiber optic sensors from project applicant VOT-Capital have already passed trials at the Leningrad nuclear energy station, RUSAL's Krasnoyarsk aluminum plant, the Pavlodarsk electrolyte plant in Kazakhstan, and the All-Russian Research Institute for Metrology.
The systems will be manufactured in Moscow. Sales in 2015 are estimated at two billion rubles.
Optical nanofiber can achieve specific measurement sensitivities and resistance to external influences. Technical characteristics are obtained due to the presence of 50-nanometer to 80-nanometer elements (quartz ribs inside a bearing quartz sheath on which the fiber's pith is hung) in the structure of the fiber.
When comparing the cost of purchasing new sensors versus traditional oil or electric-gas metering transformers, the former's total cost of ownership is no more than 50 percent of the cost of ownership for traditional devices because these new units require virtually not servicing.
"Fiber optic sensors are more reliable and more precise than most of the current and voltage meters present in power grids today," observed RUSNANO managing director Alexander Kondrashov. "It is important to note that the units now in place in the grids of 110 kilowatts to 750 kilowatts have been depreciated by more than 50 percent; 25 percent of the devices require immediate replacement."
"High-tech is a priority in ONEXIM Group's investment strategy. This project is just the first step in developing advanced Russian technology for monitoring energy efficiency in a host of domestic economic sectors—from electric energy and oil and gas production to construction and transportation. In our opinion, these systemic projects will not only earn considerable investment income but also help raise the competitive level of the Russian economy," said ONEXIM Group general director Dmitry Rasumov.
According to VOT-Capital owner Sergey Dmitriev, "This is a new generation of metering systems that go further than replacing traditional measuring transformers. They make it possible to create intelligent, manageable power grids."

26/11: India may get access to Headley, Rana
New Delhi: India may get access for the second time to Mumbai attack terrorist David Headley and his accomplice Tahawwur Hussain Rana, currently in the custody of the United States, for questioning.
The positive indication was given by Washington to New Delhi during a recent bilateral meeting held in America.
Government sources said following New Delhi`s consistent persuasion, the US has indicated to interlocutors that India could be given access to Headley, who carried out a recce of the 26/11 targets for the Pakistan-based terror outfit
Lashkar-e-Taiba, for the second time to get more information about the conspiracy hatched to carry out the 2008 attack.
The United States has indicated to interlocutors that India could be given access to David Headley, who carried out a recce of the 26/11 targets.
The US, which has not given any opportunity to question Rana, may also allow Indian investigators to question the Pakistani-Canadian, who was sentenced by an American court for his involvement in a terror plot in Denmark. Indian investigators believe that if they could quiz Rana, many hidden information could come into light as Rana was a close associate of his Pakistani-American friend Headley.
The investigators believe that Headley and Rana have a lot of information and their interrogations could throw more light on the conspiracy hatched to carry out the worst terror strike in India and role of those behind it.
51-year-old Headley had pleaded guilty to 12 terrorism charges, including his involvement in the November 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai that claimed 166 lives. He had, however, entered into plea bargain with US authorities.
A court in the US had sentenced 52-year-old Rana to 14 years in jail followed by five years of supervised release. Rana was convicted for providing material support to LeT and for backing a "dastardly" plot to attack a Danish newspaper but not convicted for the Mumbai terror attack despite being a close associate of Headley.

The Power of Body: Black and Whites by Selina MayerJuxtapoz // Friday, July 17, 2015
There seems to be a lot of people these days who are dismissive toward nude photography, or tend to think that each photo shoot is some sort of easy way out of addressing the subject. Then you come across the works of Selina Mayer, the North London photographer with such a beautiful sense of light and abstraction, of simple singularity with the subject that you begin to realize just how hard it is to compose a good portrait.
Bwana Spoons and Tripper Dungan "Pacific & Northwest" @ Daniel Rolnik Gallery, Santa MonicaJuxtapoz // Friday, July 17, 2015

The facts and fantasies of his paintings, the characters and the colors all join together to create the festive representation of a fragmented and troubled culture.
In the Magazine: The WPA and How the Federal Arts Project Changed American ArtJuxtapoz // Thursday, July 16, 2015
Nature is an unruly place, forever getting in humanity's way, regularly tamed but regressing back to the feral. As an aesthetic paradigm we admire its majesty, take pleasure in its picturesque and swoon at its beauty, but as a psychological fact, let's face it; unless you're Paul Bunyan, Daniel Boone or Johnny Appleseed it can quite rightly scare the shit out of you. And into this wilderness of overgrowth and undergrowth, impossibly daunting scale, tempestuous elements, natural predators and truly rugged discomforts...

Beyond the Cover: Mary IversonJuxtapoz // Thursday, July 16, 2015
Mary Iverson is an exquisite landscape painter with a razor-sharp contemporary edge. On the surface, we see activism, her collages and paintings warning us of a dystopic future existence. But the truth is, this apocalypse is happening now. Through her paintings of rogue shipping containers invading precious, untouched vistas, she uncovers the gross excess and collateral damages of the shipping industry, and ultimately, commercialism.

Poll: Many Americans Consider Obama a 'Liar'
A Fox News poll released Wednesday shows that six out of every ten Americans believes that President Barack Obama lies to the American people, at least some of the time. A plurality – 37% – say that he lies "most of the time," while another 24% say he lies "some of the time." Another 20% say he lies once in awhile, while only 15% say that he never lies.
When asked for examples, most of those who called Obama a liar cited his claim that those who already had an existing health care insurance policy would not be required to sign up for the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare). "If you like your plan, you can keep it," Obama stated on several occasions, and many of those polled said that, in their experience, this has not turned out to be the case.

Rangers top scorer Brandon Dubinsky to miss 3-4 weeks with stress fracture
Jan 19, 2011, 4:34 PM EDT
The injury bug sweeping through the Rangers locker room isn't done spreading misery. The team's leading scorer, Brandon Dubinsky, will miss the next 3-4 weeks with a stress fracture in his left fibula.
Dubinsky's 17 goals and 21 assists lead the team in both categories and his 38 points have been crucial to what little offensive success the Rangers have seen this year. The team's woeful offensive performance this season can be attributed to a less-than stellar season out of Marian Gaborik as well as to injuries to Vinny Prospal, Ryan Callahan, and Alexander Frolov.
The Rangers are currently in the middle of the pack in the NHL in goals scored but with Dubinsky being their one consistent performer, the time for Marian Gaborik to step his game up has never been higher. Gaborik has 11 goals and 13 assists this year and for a former 40-goal scorer, those numbers are terrible, especially on a team that was going to be lacking offense as it was. Rookie Derek Stepan has stepped in and played very well for New York, but getting Gaborik going and filling the net is a must-have now for the Rangers.

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.
Product Overview
Manapol is a pharmaceutical-grade product from Aloe Vera L. that supports a healthy, balanced immune system. The name derives from the mannose polysaccharides found in fresh Aloe gel. Monapol contains the highest level of these polysaccharides of any other product made from Aloe. The unique manufacturing process of Manapol preserves the glyconutrients, or polymeric polysaccharides, in their freshest, most natural state.
Manapol is produced only from the beneficial inner gel of the Aloe plant to maximize the amount of polysachcarides present in the final product. This ensures a product that has significant supportive effects for the body's immune system. Studies suggest that the glyconutrients, or super sugars, contained in Manapol immune function and promote digestive health.
Take one or more capsules daily with food.
Vegetable capsule, brown rice, magnesium stearate (vegetable source).
Suitable for Vegetarians.
Contains nothing other than listed ingredients.

"Our three generation family just returned from a fantastic vacation at Come Hither. The home is beautiful and the views are truly incredible. The gardens are gorgeous. The pictures do not do this house justice. It has everything you could need for the perfect vacation. We enjoyed boating from the private dock, the kayaks, the kids had a ball crabbing from the dock, running in the yard and swinging in the hammock. The owners are very gracious.

"My husband and I were looking for a reasonably priced house that would allow pets within walking distance to the beach. We didn't need anything super fancy, and didn't have the highest expectations for this little cottage. We were so pleasantly surprised when we arrived. It's much more spacious than in the photos, and was extremely clean. It's also a 4 minute walk to the Town Beach - we timed it. The house is stocked with almost everything you could need, and Sue is so nice, accommodating, and easy to work with. We loved this rental and will definitely be back in the future!"Guest: Amanda H.

Temporary Injunction Granted in FL PIP Case
By Kathryn Feather, Senior Associate Editor
Circuit Judge Terry P. Lewis issued a partial injunction against the Florida Personal Injury Protection law, putting a halt - at least temporarily - to the portion of the law that requires a finding of an emergency medical condition as a prerequisite for payment of PIP benefits and that prohibits payment for services provided by massage therapists, acupuncturists and chiropractors.
The state's Office of Insurance Regulation quickly filed an appeal, which means claims cannot be filed and payments cannot be received on PIP cases until the next ruling is rendered.
Attorney's for the Florida PIP Defense Fund immediately filed an emergency motion to vacate the stay and that hearing was held in Judge Lewis' courtroom on Monday, April 1st.
As of press time, no decision had yet been made by Judge Lewis. The case could ultimately end up before the state's Supreme Court.
Current Status
Attorney Adam Levine commented on the April 1st hearing in front of Judge Lewis, saying that, "Judge Lewis provided us with a very fair hearing which lasted more than twice as long as it was originally scheduled for."
Levine and Lirot reviewed the law with Judge Lewis and presented him with 63 affidavits. According to Levine, under cross examination, the state's witness, Sandra Starnes of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, admitted that the "statistics" upon which the 2012 PIP Act were based, were provided entirely by the insurance industry and no oversight or independent verification was ever undertaken by the OIR.
According to Levine, "we reviewed highlights of the facts supporting our position from exemplary experts from these affidavits and Dr. Erick Frank, DC, provided live testimony, doing an excellent job highlighting the multiple problems and unfair limitations caused by the challenged legislation's benefit limitation of $2,500 for PIP coverage, absent the undefined 'emergency medical condition' requirement, the nebulous characteristics of which Dr. Frank articulated perfectly."
A group of Florida massage therapists were hoping to close out 2012 with some positive momentum in their fight against HB119, which prohibits the state's massage therapists and acupuncturists from billing personal injury insurance.
The Florida PIP Defense Fund, a group assembled specifically to fight this bill, learned in the waning days of 2012 that the federal court canceled its hearing scheduled for December 27, 2012, and issued an order denying its motion for a preliminary injunction.
Attorney's Luke Lirot and Adam Levine then filed a motion to reconsider and they are also filed a response to defendant Kevin McCarty's request for dismissal on the day the case was due to be heard in Federal Court.
Lirot and Levine explained that, "we believed that the provisions of this act violated the rights of acupuncturists, licensed massage therapists and chiropractors in Florida. Specifically, we believed that these health care provider's rights, which are protected to due process and equal protection, were violated when Florida determined that in order to prevent fraud, all licensed massage therapists and acupuncturists should no longer be permitted to provide care to those injured as a result of a motor vehicle collision."
According to an earlier release from the Florida PIP Defense Fund, Constitutional attorney Luke Lirot filed a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief against Kevin N. McCarty in his official capacity as Commissioner of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.
The complaint states that "the challenged legislation is invalid on a vast number of bases, generally summarized:
"In the end, Luke and I believe it was clear to the Court that we are representing all Floridians and that the state OIR is only concerned with helping PIP insurance carriers," said Levine.
"One wonders what the PIP insurer profits are and whether it was ever necessary for the state to approve the rate increases of the past, based on data supplied by the PIP insurers themselves. We remain cautiously optimistic regarding the outcome of this hearing," continued Levine.
In an article from the September 2012 issue of Massage Today, "Florida Legislative Update," Lirot said, "While Insurance companies might be able to pick and choose medical providers, treatments and so forth, the State cannot. If, as the Governor alleges, the high costs to insurers is due to fraud in the PIP system, why then eliminate an entire field of medical providers? Why not go specifically to the fraudulent activity and attack the ones perpetrating the fraud?"
Lirot continuIt is totally unreasonable, unjustifiable, arbitrary and overreaching to eliminate a whole profession of medical providers. Was it just because massage therapists and acupuncturists were the easiest to target?"

259Channel object and WriteGroup
- Mar 1, 2011
This morning's conference we discussed the Channel object and WriteGroup service in
the context of using them to write to the LO object Lighting_Command property.
I was tasked with researching this.
In reviewing Add-135-2008aa-PPR1-6 it is clear that the Channel object, as currently
crafted, only supports writing to Primitive datatyped properties. So the constructed
datatype needed for Lighting_Command, as currently written, cannot be used
with the proposed Channel object.
Similarly, the WriteGroup service, as currently written, now only supports
primitive data for the written value(s).
I think on reflection that this is a problem that we must reconsider. There are various
ways to handle this. Although the Channel object and WriteGroup could be
reformulated to allow broader datatypes, it's my belief that this will meet
stiff resistance as there is already a consensus that lead to the current proposals.
We could, of course, not attempt to make any change to the LO object which
would mean that Channel object and WriteGroup could only be used to
write to Present_Value. I think this would be a major compromise in the
ability of this suite of objects and service to meet the needs and use cases
for Lighting however.
So I believe that a better direction would be to rethink the concept of the
Lighting_Command to allow it to be served by Channel object and WriteGroup,
as already proposed in 135-2008aa. To that end, the Charstring and Octetstring
datatypes come to mind. We could define a fixed position datatype (like Date and Time)
as an Octetstring and use it for Lighting_Command instead of the new
constructed datatype currently proposed. However, this is awkward and inflexible.
The Charstring seems more naturally suited to this task.
I know this is going to be controversial, but it may be the best compromise.
I raise these issues because now that we are revising the LO object for its
public review, it would be better to introduce this idea now instead of later.
I'd like to add this to our crowded agenda for the 15th telecon.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
30 May 2011 08:38 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Egypt, Israel, Syria
Former Israeli foreign minister Shlomo Ben Ami is vice president of the Toledo International Centre for Peace.
Binyamin Netanyahu's furious rejection of US President Barack Obama's proposal to use the 1967 borders as the basis for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute - frontiers that he called "utterly indefensible" - reflects not only the Israeli prime minister's poor statesmanship, but also his antiquated military philosophy.
In an era of ballistic missiles and other weapons of mass destruction, and in which the planned Palestinian state is supposed to be demilitarised, why is it so vital for Israel to see its army "sit along the Jordan River"? If such a tripwire is really necessary, why shouldn't a reliable international force carry out that task? And how can hundreds of isolated settlements spread amidst a hostile Palestinian population ever be considered a strategic asset?
Netanyahu should,
Netanyahu should, perhaps, have studied the lessons of the 1973 Yom Kippur war on the Golan Heights before denouncing Obama's idea. When the war started, the first thing the Israeli army command sought was the evacuation of the area's settlements, which Israel's generals knew would quickly become an impossible burden, and an obstacle to manoeuvre, for their troops.
Indeed, the last war that Israel won "elegantly" - in the way that Netanyahu imagines that wars should be won - began from the supposedly "indefensible" 1967 lines.
That is no accident. Israel's occupation of Arab lands in that war, and its subsequent deployment of military forces amidst the Arab population of the West Bank and close to the powerful military machines of Egypt in the south and Syria in the north, exposed it to Palestinian terrorism from the east.
At the same time, occupation denied Israel's army the advantage of a buffer - the demilitarised zones that were the key to the 1967 victory against both Egypt and Syria.
For borders to be defensible, they need first to be legitimate and internationally recognised. But Netanyahu does not really trust "the gentiles" to supply that type of international recognition of Israel's borders, not even when the US is behind him, and not even when Israel today has the most powerful military capabilities in the Middle East.
The son of a renowned historian who served as the personal secretary of Zeev Jabotinski, the founder of the Zionist right, Netanyahu absorbed from childhood his father's interpretation of Jewish history as a series of tragedies.
The lesson was simple: the gentiles cannot be relied upon, for Jewish history is one of betrayal and extermination at their hands. The only remedy to our fragile existence in the diaspora lies in the return to the Biblical "Land of Israel". Our Arab neighbours should never be trusted; hence, as Jabotinski preached, the new Israeli nation must erect an "Iron Wall of Jewish power" to deter its enemies forever.
To be fair, such an existential philosophy was not the right's monopoly. The legendary General Moshe Dayan, who was born in a socialist Kibbutz on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, was no less a sceptic about the chances of coexisting with the Arabs. A gifted orator, this is how he put it in a eulogy to a fallen soldier in 1956:
"Let us not be deterred from seeing the loathing that is inflaming and filling the lives of the hundreds of thousands of Arabs who live around us. Let us not avert our eyes lest our arms weaken…This is the fate of our generation, this is our life choice, to be prepared and armed, strong and determined, lest the sword be stricken from our fist and our lives cut down…We are a generation of settlers, and, without the steel helmet and the cannon's fire, we will not be able to plant a tree and build a home."
Yet the same Dayan, who in 1970 said that "the only peace negotiations are those where we settle the land and we build, and we settle, and from time to time we go to war," was forced by cruel reality to admit that the best security to which Israel can aspire is that based on peace with its neighbors.
Eventually, he became the architect of a historic peace with Egypt. His book Are We Truly Condemned to Live by the Sword to Eternity? marked the transformation of the soldier into a statesman.
If Netanyahu is ever to lead a historic reconciliation with the Palestinian people, he should start by endorsing a courageous, almost post-Zionist insight reflected in Dayan's 1956 eulogy. Fully aware of the bitter legacy of Palestinian disinheritance following the 1948 war, Dayan refused to blame the murderers. On the contrary, he understood their "burning hatred".
Unfortunately, Israel today has a prime minister with the mentality of a platoon commander, who nonetheless likes to cast himself as a latter day Churchill - fighting the forces of evil bent on destroying the Third Jewish Temple.
Of course, a great leader must always have a sense of history. But, as the French philosopher Paul Valery put it, history, "the science of things which are not repeated", is also "the most dangerous product which the chemistry of the intellect has ever evolved", especially when manipulated by politicians.
Menachem Begin, a hawkish predecessor of Netanyahu as prime minister, once had the insolence to say to the great historian Yaakov Talmon that, "when it comes to the twentieth century, I am more an expert than you are".
Talmon responded with "The Fatherland is Imperiled" - a pivotal article whose conclusions are as relevant today as they were in 1981. Not until occupation ends, Israel lives within internationally recognised borders, and the Palestinians recover their dignity as a nation will the Jewish state's existence be finally secured.
Shlomo Ben Ami, a former Israeli foreign minister who serves as vice-president of the Toledo International Centre for Peace, is the author of Scars of War, Wounds of Peace: the Israeli-Arab Tragedy.

Price Of Bacon At All Time High
Price Of Bacon At All Time High
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average price of Bacon in American cities rose another 0.06 in June, to an all-time high at 6.11 lb.
That is a 14% increase since June 2013 and 41% more than it cost in June 2012, when people were already talking about how pricey Bacon was getting.
Below is a graph illustrating the dramatic rise in Bacon prices since June 1980.
For what a consumer will spend for a pound of Bacon today, he/she could buy a whole 4 lb Chicken, 10 lbs of Bananas, or 3 doz Eggs
Inflation means prices rise, but the price of Bacon goes past inflationwhich the US Fed pegs at just under 2%.
To see just how dramatically below is a chart that shows the adjusted monthly average price of Bacon for inflation, using PCE deflator, the Fed's preferred measure of inflation.
As you can see Bacon prices have have surpassed prior all-time highs, even after accounting for inflation.
After adjusting for inflation, Bacon is now 21% more expensive than it was at its 1980s peak in September 1982.
There are 3 Key factors account for the latest price rise.
1. A virulent disease, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, has been piglets for almost a year, drastically reducing the stock of livestock available for making Bacon
2. The demand keeps rising.
3. An ongoing drought across much of the US.
Added to that, Bacon is not the only breakfast staple getting more expensive, plant diseases also have increased the price of OJ, and Coffee in recent months.
Stay tuned…

Property: High-rises strive to meet lofty aims

Published: 07 June 2013
Next week, 700 tower lovers from round the world will gather in London for their annual jamboree at the low-rise Brewery Conference Centre in the City. The official theme of the two-day "mine-is-bigger-than-yours" event is Height and Heritage.
The US-based Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, which runs the show, takes itself very seriously, as its name suggests. But lets be less serious. The un-admitted theme for delegates is: "How do we squeeze more skyscrapers into cities with all these darn old buildings in the way?"
Today's theme is why do developers bother building skyscrapers? The numbers in the illustration show it to be a risky game. Conception to completion can take more than a decade, ensuring the project is blighted by at least one economic downturn. The four towers examined above have yet to make a bean although all should when eventually filled.
"It's much better to be the second owner of a tower, not the first," says Digby Flower of Cushman & Wakefield. "The problem is you never know when in the cycle they will be delivered. But the big thing about towers is they have a 100-year lifespan and get reincarnated every 25 years."
Flower is now responsible for letting The Scalpel, a 623ft tower to be built by US insurer WR Berkley near the Lloyd's building. The omens are good. The only City office tower to make money in the last cycle was built by an insurer, not a developer. The 590ft Gherkin, built by Swiss Re between 2001 and 2004, cost £350 million. The fully let tower was sold to Evans Randall and German fund IVG in 2007 for £600 million. In March 2012, it was valued at £530 million — a rare case of the second owner taking the hit.
Do towers pay off? In real life, rarely, at least for the original developer, thanks to the vagaries of planning and the economic cycle. On paper, obviously, otherwise there would be no towers. The best-stacked City tower by far is the 680,000 sq ft Walkie-Talkie, worth £800 million when filled. If it was as skinny on floor 33 as on floor three, it would be worth just £560 million. The floors grow at a rate of 500 sq ft per floor as the Walkie-Talkie expands towards the top. That adds almost 200,000 sq ft of space at, say, £60 a square foot, boosting the annual rent by £12 million and the value by £240 million, given property like this is worth about 20 times the annual rent.
The worst-stacked tower in these terms is the 575 000 sq ft Cheesegrater, worth about £700 million when full. If the 40 floors from floors five to 45 were the same size as floor five, 122 Leadenhall would contain almost 300,000 sq ft of extra floor space, lifting the value by £360 million to more than £1 billion. That's the price paid for sloping back one face to protect the views of St Paul's.
As for The Shard, don't even ask how much more it would be worth straight (about twice as much, at a wild guess). It was supposed to be straight in 1998 when developer Irvine Sellar embarked on his 14-year odyssey.
Skyscrapers cost more than groundscrapers. A 50-storey tower costs £250 a square foot to build, according to Nick Clare of cost consultants Davis Langdon. A groundscraper costs £200 a square foot. So a 500,000 sq ft foot low-rise block will cost £100 million to build, and the same-sized tower £125 million
The skyscraper is far less efficient. About 65% of the gross floor space can be rented, against 75% for a low-rise. The space taken up in a tower by lift shafts and the outside walls as a percentage of the free space is much higher than a groundscraper.
A 500,000 sq ft ground-scraper contains 375,000 square feet of rentable space against 325,000 feet in a high-rise block. Every square foot can be rented for £50. Every foot is worth 20 times the rent. The groundscraper is worth £375 million, the tower £325 million.
So a groundscraper costs £100 million to build and ends up worth £375 million. A skyscraper costs £125 million to build and is then worth £325 million. Why build skyscrapers? Lack of land, obviously. But there seems to be some sort of man thing going on here as well, doesn't there?
China speeding to top of the world
The 2700ft Burj Khalifa in Dubai remains the daddy of all skyscrapers. But it will supposedly be topped by Christmas.
The star turn at the conference next week will be Zhang Yue, chairman of China Broad Group. His company was last week finally granted permission to build a 2800ft "Sky City" in Changsha, China. The 220-storey monster was supposed to have been finished at the end of March, after an incredible 90-day construction programme. Zhang now has to prove he can build at a rate of five storeys a day, with a cost of $140 (£93) a square foot.
Bart Leclercq of UK consultants WSP has said: "If they manage to build this structure in three months, I will hang up my hat and retire."

Puebloan wins title, named to U.S. team
Adam Martinez heading to London next month for international match
Pueblo mixed martial artist Adam Martinez is on his way to England as part of the Fighters Source League's Amateur MMA Team USA.
By virtue a second-round guillotine choke-out of Miami fighter "Slick" Will Calhoun in his June 26 bout in New York City, the 145-pound Martinez, nicknamed "The American Bully," earned the title of featherweight national champion and a spot on the eight-member U.S. amateur team.
The American fighters will meet Britain's best mixed martial artists on Sept. 27 in England.
Win or lose, the match in the U.K. will be Martinez's last bout as an amateur, as the former standout high school wrestler plans to enter the pro ranks.
"I plan to drop to 135 pounds and really tear up the pro ranks," said Martinez, who complements his deep wrestling skills with a ferocious strike attack.
"But I'm really excited to be representing Pueblo on a worldwide stage. My family and friends will be making the trip over to support me, just like they did in New York."
Martinez said he and members of the American team will arrive in England a week prior to the tournament to train under Team USA coach Master Danny Ruiz.
