East Lake: On the Road to Urban Renewal
Levinson, Matthew, Ecos
Hitting the brakes on suburban sprawl means shifting developers' focus to urban renewal, but rethinking city spaces is far from trivial. A project in Canberra's East Lake area is testing a new science-based approach.
East Lake is a short bus ride from Canberra's central business district, Civic. Close to jobs and public transport--and home to the ecologically significant Jerrabomberra Wetlands--the area has been identified asa future home for up to 9000 people.
You can imagine it is a tantalising prospect for developers. The ACT Government, however, has big plans for East Lake to become a best-practice showcase of sustainable development, and is working with CSIRO to help realise this goal.
'Around 60 per cent of current development in the ACT is in greenfield areas, but the intent is to reduce this figure to 50 per cent" says Paul Lewis, General Manager of Metropolitan Development and Land Supply at the ACT Planning and Land Authority.
According to Mr Lewis, the ACT can more efficiently use urban infrastructure and effectively deliver services, as well as improve the efficiency of land use and transport systems, by redeveloping under-utilised precincts such as East Lake.
'We want to make sure the decisionmaking processes bring key stakeholders and the broader community with us,' he says.
Urban renewal
Until the mid-1990s Australians were moving away from our inner-city suburbs in search of the suburban block with a backyard. But since then, lifestyle and urban planning decisions have attracted increased inner-city residential development and population growth.
Nonetheless, the middle and outer suburbs have continued to grow at an increasing rate, and the nation's five major cities now house 60 per cent of the population.
Capital cities are merging with surrounding urban centres as they expand, forming mega-metropolitan regions in south-east Queensland, Sydney, Port Phillip and Perth. Walter Burley Griffin's planning legacy gave Canberra a different model, but the challenge of managing urban development is consistent across the country.
'The attractiveness of urban renewal is that it provides an opportunity to revitalise and rejuvenate a city rather than simply adding to its fringes" explains Guy Barnett, ah urban ecologist with CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems.
'Sites within easy reach of the CBD are the target; particularly those often-overlooked areas of our cities that suffer from declining industrial use, neglect or poor planning.'
According to Mr Barnett, the primary drivers for urban renewal are convenience and lifestyle, but there is also a sustainability dimension based on reducing car dependency and resource consumption through higher density living.
Notable examples of urban renewal include Docklands (Melbourne), Pyrmont (Sydney) and Newstead (Brisbane). Now it's Canberra's turn to set the new national benchmark.
The ACT Government engaged environmental firm BioRegional to assess a range of Canberra sites (including greenfield, brownfield and redevelopment areas) as potential national showcases for sustainable development.
'The East Lake precinct was identified as the most appropriate of a range of sites" says Mr Lewis. 'It has many of the issues typically found in city environments: low scale built form, concerned local community, high land values, mixed land uses, ageing built form, under-utilised railway facilities, wetland interface and so on. …

I was taken aback by the little details in this piece. The wispy fabric, dirty... almost coagulated textures, the wand made of bone and the eeriness of the colors create a strangely beautiful and perfect image of Lord Voldemort. Take it as Harry Potter fanart or not; this is a fabulous representation of a wizard gone very, very bad. Be sure to swing by ~ciclomono's page (the work of two artists) and check out their gorgeous gallery! ( Suggested by HealingBlight and Featured by y2jenn )
Wow, wonderful!

There aren't too many pop stars that love Black Flag as much as Culture Club, but most pop stars aren't Diamond Rings, the nom de plume of John O'Regan. The 27-year-old Canadian has just released his sophomore album, Free Dimensional, a mix of new wave and synth-pop sounds that manages to sound both current and retro simultaneously. For the latest edition of Tell Me About That Album, we chatted with O'Regan about the record, Nirvana's aggressive guitar tones and the dark side of his hard drive that no one's heard yet. Diamond Rings plays the Crocodile on November 15th.
Norman Wong
Is it more difficult to make a name for yourself as a pop act as opposed to say a punk or indie band, which has a more defined path? I think it's hard for any musician to find a path because I think the big secret to the whole thing is that there isn't one, whether you're Black Flag or the Black Keys or any other band that has black in the title. Part of the process that I really love about music and art is that there really aren't any rules.
But there might be a road map. But taking the major highways is usually pretty boring. It's about finding my own path as an artist and staying true to that. Part of the imperative with pop music, and what may be a little intimidating about it, is that pop means popular. That's not what indie means.
Free Dimensional has nods to Nenah Cherry, Roxy Music and Culture Club. As someone who was born in 1985, how did you discover the sounds of new wave? I started buying records when I was 18 or 19. I'm a bit OCD and I made the decision that I wanted to buy music on vinyl exclusively. It's a different story now, but when I began to get into collecting music seriously, you couldn't really get anything from the '90s on vinyl, unless it was a Nirvana record or something. So I basically started with punk - and I developed a natural affinity for some of those sounds and styles.
Was there something about those sounds that spoke to you more than Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd or the classic rock that so many teenagers get attached to? There's a certain cheekiness or lack of pretention to [new wave] that I find is just exhausting when you're listening to prog rock or classic rock. That stuff is just incredibly self-indulgent and macho. Short of maybe tripping out to Dark Side of the Moon in high school, like everyone's supposed to do, none of that ever really turned my crank, not that I haven't tried or was forced to try.
Right, it's sort of hard to avoid if your major outlet for music is the radio. I think that's part of it. Growing up playing sports, playing hockey, being in that hyper-masculine environment, those were the kind of bands people were into and to me there's a lot of baggage attached to that.
Can you talk about where the album's title came from? It came from a quote from the painter Paul Klee concerning cubist artwork of the early 20th century, basically that movement was derived or designed as a way of breaking down the way we see the world objectively and showing the world from all angles at once. If anything, that's what I really attempted to do with this album, showcase my own musical library, my own journey as an artist, all at the same time. I'm never really going to be able to show every side of who I am as an artist, but that's no excuse not to try. I don't think necessarily that I've succeeded in really doing that, but I think art is often about succeeding as much as having the courage to fail in as glorious a way as humanly possible. Through celebrating those failures you end up with something new and original.
I get the sense that you'd like to challenge your audience more than you're able to at the moment because you're still building an audience. Is that accurate? For sure. I guess you could call it the dark side of my hard drive that no one's heard yet. It's got drones galore that I'd love to share with the world but I think artistically there's something to be said for proving one's self as a songwriter. David Bowie's Low is a great body of work but he had to make Young Americans first. Same with Brian Eno. Those are the kind of career artists I really look up to. I think you've really got to earn that kind of respect from your audience to indulge yourself like that. At this point in the game it's about trying to indulge myself as inclusively as possible.
Do you mind that part, the calculated planning of a career or is that at odds with what you're doing? I'm not only OK with that, I think that's part of the fun. Part of creating a commercial product of any kind, whether it's designing a waste bin or a chair or creating a film or an album. Any of those things have to confront the inevitable reality that there is a business imperative at play. It's just a matter of insuring that those imperatives don't compromise the quality of the work or drive the direction of the work. That's what bands like Devo had a really great understanding of. They had stupid catalogs and all this dumb merch that people could buy but they made it their own and they made it different and in doing so were able to critique that very machine in which they were inherently complicit. That's what all my favorite capital "A" artists have done too. That's what the world of fine art has been about probably since the '60s when artists began de-materialization. Now a work of art can be nothing more than a signed contract between the artist and the buyer. And music in a lot of ways has been really slow to catch up to that.
Have you played in Seattle much? One of my first ever shows there I snuck in on a Greyhound bus and played on a bunch of rented gear at the Crocodile opening for Perfume Genius. That was a memorable time. Most recently we did a small VIP show at the Barbosa, which was really fun, kind of road-testing some new stuff. I think Seattle's great. I think there's a crazy insane amount of history that you can just feel in the city. It's done a tremendous amount to shape the world we live in as musicians. Most of the guitar sounds on my record were patches modeled after Nirvana tones because in my estimations, the sounds they crafted with Butch Vig on Nevermind are unparalleled. To me, that's the pinnacle of what anybody's ever been able to do with a guitar. It makes a really aggressive, direct statement. Some of those guitar sounds sound like an animal in a cage. If you listen to that album you know it's a pop album in disguise.
Well I can't wait to hear what Butch Vig does with your next record. Yeah, we'll see, we'll see!

Executive Privilege Revived?: Secrecy and Conflict during the Bush Presidency
Rozell, Mark J., Duke Law Journal
Although well established now as a legitimate presidential power, executive privilege remains controversial. Executive privilege is controversial in part because some presidents have overreached in exercising this authority. Presidential attempts to conceal evidence of wrongdoing during the Watergate scandal that led to President Richard Nixon's resignation and during the scandal that led to President Bill Clinton's impeachment gave executive privilege a bad name.
The phrase "executive privilege" does not appear in the Constitution. To be precise, that phrase was not a part of the common language until President Eisenhower's administration, leading some to suggest that executive privilege therefore cannot be constitutional. (1) These semantic, textualist challenges to executive privilege's constitutionality fail when viewed through a broader, historical lens of past interbranch disputes. In fact, every president since George Washington has exercised some form of what is today called executive privilege, regardless of the words used to describe their actions. (2) As Louis Fisher has pointed out, "[o]ne could play similar word games with `impoundment,' also of recent vintage, but only by ignoring the fact that, under different names, Presidents have from an early date declined to spend funds appropriated by Congress." (3)
Executive privilege is an implied power derived from Article II. (4) It is most easily defined as the right of the president and high-level executive branch officers to withhold information from those who have compulsory power--Congress and the courts (and therefore, ultimately, the public). This right is not absolute, as executive privilege is often subject to the compulsory powers of the other branches. The modern understanding of executive privilege has evolved over a long period as the result of presidential actions, official administration policies, and court decisions. Today, executive privilege is considered most legitimate when used to protect; first, certain national security needs, and second, the confidentiality of White House deliberations when it is in the public interest to do so. Related to the second, executive privilege may be appropriate in circumstances where confidentiality is necessary to protect ongoing executive branch investigations.
After the Watergate scandal, several presidents exercised executive privilege either very cautiously or ineffectively. Not until the Clinton administration did a post-Watergate president make a concerted effort to exercise this presidential power. (5) Yet, most of President Clinton's uses of executive privilege were indefensible because he asserted this power in circumstances that were far beyond widely accepted norms. In the early stages of his administration, President George W. Bush has already made substantial use of executive privilege in circumstances where the exercise of that power is highly debatable.
This Essay focuses on the various uses of executive privilege during the early stage of President George W. Bush's administration. President Bush has exercised the privilege in an attempt to reestablish what he perceives as a more correct balance of powers between the legislative and executive branches. Still, because President Bush has departed from recognized executive privilege norms, he has ultimately weakened executive privilege.
The most important modern articulation of executive privilege standards was the Reagan administration's executive privilege memorandum. (6) On November 4, 1982, President Ronald Reagan issued an executive privilege memorandum to heads of executive departments and agencies. The Reagan procedures were generally similar to those in a 1969 Nixon executive privilege memorandum. (7) For example, President Reagan's guidelines affirmed the administration policy "to comply with Congressional requests for information to the fullest extent consistent with the constitutional and statutory obligations of the Executive Branch. …

Homers by Dunn, McCann help US edge Canada at WBC
TORONTO With big league stars on both sides and national pride at stake, the United States and Canada gave their World Baseball Classic opener an October feel.
Adam Dunn and Brian McCann each hit a two-run homer, and Team USA held off feisty Canada 6-5 on Saturday to avenge a surprising loss three years ago.
"This is a playoff atmosphere," U.S. pitcher Jake Peavy said. "Everything is on the line, you're doing everything you can to win and advance in this tournament, and playing for your country just takes that through the roof. It's as good an atmosphere as it gets, I believe."
Kevin Youkilis added a solo shot and J.J. Putz closed it out in a nervous ninth inning for Team USA, which was upset by Canada in the inaugural WBC.
Despite a roster loaded with major league All-Stars, that U.S. squad stumbled to a disappointing eighth-place finish – a big reason this club has talked about taking back America's game.
The intensity was evident. A fired-up McCann yelled and embraced Putz near the mound after the New York Mets reliever stranded the potential tying run at second base when Jason Bay flied out.
"It was unbelievable," Putz said. "That was definitely the loudest crowd I've ever been a part of. I haven't pitched in the playoffs, so this is what I think playoff baseball would seem like. It was awesome out there."
Jimmy Rollins, fresh off Philadelphia's 2008 World Series title, said beating Canada felt like winning the opener of a postseason series.
"Out here it was opening day, but with the excitement and the importance of getting off to a good start, you could compare that to Game 1 of a World Series," he said. "You want to get that first win out of the way and then you can take a deep breath."
LaTroy Hawkins worked a scoreless inning for the win and Putz earned the save after allowing Joey Votto's broken-bat RBI double in the ninth that cut it to 6-5 with one out. Putz then retired Justin Morneau on a grounder and got Bay on a fly to right.
"I just tried to get ahead of him and we were able to," Putz said. "We tried to get him to chase some sliders and he laid off a couple of good ones. With (Matt) Stairs sitting on deck, he's a guy that I've had some trouble with in the past, so I really wanted to focus in and try to get Bay to end the game."
Watching the ninth inning from the dugout after going 2-for-3, Derek Jeter acknowledged feeling tense.
"It was one of those situations where you're on the edge of your seat," Jeter said. "It's a lot more nerve-racking watching, I think, than it is playing."
Votto and Russell Martin each hit a solo homer for Canada, but it wasn't enough for the hosts to repeat their 8-6 win over the U.S. in the opening round of the 2006 tournament.
"They're definitely the team to beat," Martin said. "It's the American pastime and it's their game, but we're getting better and better."
Votto, born and raised in suburban Toronto, went 4-for-5 with two RBIs before a lively crowd of 42,314.
"I can't see, if you're a baseball fan, how you can't get into this tournament," Peavy said.
The U.S. can advance to the second round with a victory in its next game, Sunday night against Venezuela. Canada will play Italy on Monday night, hoping to avoid elimination in Group C.
Peavy lasted three innings, allowing two runs and two hits. He walked three and struck out four.

"Ambition is never content, even on the summit of greatness."
Napoleon Bonaparte
Emperor of the French, 1769 - 1821
Napoleon Bonaparte was born on August 15, 1769 in Ajaccio on the Mediterranean island of Corsica, the son of Carlo and Letizia Bonaparte. Through his military exploits and his ruthless efficiency, Napoleon rose from obscurity to become Napoleon I, Empereur des Francais (Emperor of the French). He is both a historical figure and a legend—and it is sometimes difficult to separate the two. The events of his life fired the imaginations of great writers, film makers, and playwrights whose works have done much to create the Napoleonic legend.
Napoleon decided on a military career when he was a child, winning a scholarship to a French military academy at age 14. His meteoric rise shocked not only France but all of Europe, and his military conquests threatened the stability of the world.
Napoleon was one of the greatest military commanders in history. He has also been portrayed as a power hungry conqueror. Napoleon denied those accusations. He argued that he was building a federation of free peoples in a Europe united under a liberal government. But if this was his goal, he intended to achieve it by taking power in his own hands. However, in the states he created, Napoleon granted constitutions, introduced law codes, abolished feudalism, created efficient governments and fostered education, science, literature and the arts.
Emperor Napoleon proved to be an excellent civil administrator. One of his greatest achievements was his supervision of the revision and collection of French law into codes. The new law codes—seven in number—incorporated some of the freedoms gained by the people of France during the French revolution, including religious toleration and the abolition of serfdom. The most famous of the codes, the Code Napoleon or Code Civil, still forms the basis of French civil law. Napoleon also centralized France's government by appointing prefects to administer regions called departments, into which France was divided.
While Napoleon believed in government "for" the people, he rejected government "by" the people. His France was a police state with a vast network of secret police and spies. The police shut down plays containing any hint of disagreement or criticism of the government. The press was controlled by the state. It was impossible to express an opinion without Napoleon's approval.
Napoleon's own opinion of his career is best stated in the following quotation:
"I closed the gulf of anarchy and brought order out of chaos. I rewarded merit regardless of birth or wealth, wherever I found it. I abolished feudalism and restored equality to all regardless of religion and before the law. I fought the decrepit monarchies of the Old Regime because the alternative was the destruction of all this. I purified the Revolution."

Poor pitches affect agencies
28 October 2013
LONDON: One fifth of agencies have reported a negative pitch process this year, with the client brief being the area of most concern a new survey has found.
The quarterly survey on pitching practice from the
Institute of Practitioners in Advertising
(IPA) was completed by its member agencies with 166 responses received, representing 137 pitches.
The IPA reported that during the first three quarters of the year almost two thirds of respondents (63%) had found the management of the pitch process to be satisfactory, ranging from excellent (10%), through very good (23%) to good (30%).
But a significant 20% of respondents indicated the overall management of the pitch process was poor or very poor. A further 12% thought it was fair while 5% said it was neither good nor poor.
The survey further established those issues that most clearly differentiated good pitches from poor ones, highlighting six areas where the difference in positive perception was in excess of 50 percentage points.
The most pressing of these was the client brief. Of those who reported a negative pitch experience, only 9% said the client brief was well articulated, 60 percentage points lower than those reporting a positive pitch experience.
Interim meetings were also a bugbear, with a gap of 59 points between those reporting positive and negatives experiences in their handling. And there was also a 55 point gap when it came to getting actionable feedback from these meetings.
Only 20% of those reporting a negative experience agreed that the request for information was clear and concise, 55 percentage points lower than those reporting a positive pitch experience. And there was a 53 point divide when it came to agreement that the client's requirement of the pitch was clear.
The involvement of key stakeholders was the final area of major concern, with a 51 point divergence between those reporting negative and positive experiences.
"There is more work to be done in order to ensure best practice and to stop the needless waste created," said Cormac Loughran, CMO at Aegis Media UK and Co-Chair of the IPA New Business and Marketing Group.
The pressures on client-agency relationships were also
addressed by Libby Child of Aprais UK in Market Leader
. She argued that while it was possible to create a cycle of continuous client-agency relationship improvement, that required "regular, open dialogue, with both teams willing to hear the good, the bad and the ugly – and then doing something about it, together".

Edgar Bennett
New Offensive Coordinator Will Come From Within, Likely Clements
The Green Bay Packers have several candidates to replace Joe Philbin as offensive coordinator, but the leading candidate now appears to be quarterbacks coach Tom Clements.
Jan 21st
Edgar Bennett May Be Being Groomed As An Offensive Coordinator
The Green Bay Packers had to hire a new receivers coach, since Jimmy Robinson left to take the same position with the Dallas Cowboys.
They announced the move on Friday and it's a familiar face, although not someone you would expect.
Former Packers running back Edgar Bennett will take over for Robinson. Bennett coached the Packers running backs for last six seasons. For the previous four seasons, he served as director of player development.

I had my 18 week appointment today with the doctor today and he confirmed that Baby A is a Girl and Baby B is a Boy!!! I'm so excited. They are growing right on schedule even though I'm not (my weight is still down 3lbs). They are both breech right now so hopefully they flip around before they get too big to do so. Their heartrates are 148 and 147. I'm sooooo excited. Almost half way there!!
Confirmed Boy/Girl
Kristin (30)
Wife to Lee (33) & Mommy to Kaleb (12), Olivia (10), Jaren (1)
Three to Five, OH MY! Crochet Baby Hats!! Here
Baby Boy July 2010
Boy / Girl Twins March 2013
Mumtotom, I'm in the same situation. Now my son will have a little brother to play with and we'll have a little girl to do girly things with. We were kinda scared of having 3 boys running around the house or 2 girls hitting puberty together. LOL.
Congrats on your growing twins. I think they still can change positions. Mine were sorta horizontal or oblique in my 20 week ultrasound. She told me they still had plenty of time to move into place so not to worry just yet.
I already have a DS that will be 3 when the twins get here, but I also have a DD that is 10 and REALLY wanted a lil sister, so I got what I was hoping for!! I have all the leftover boy stuff from DS, and I get to buy cute lil girl stuff too!!
Boy/girl for us too! So excited!
Expecting boy/girl twins April 20th! First time mama!
US TOO! Yay go us! All multiples are special babies (all babies are special), but there is something amazing to have one of each in one try. :) I'm so happy for you! *High Five*

Even back then, people wanted to shoot their banker
One August morning in 1826, two men went for a walk in the Scottish countryside. Only one of them came back alive. Timewatch tells the story of two men who fought to the death with pistols: one a respected merchant, reluctantly provoked into an unwanted duel; the other a professional soldier, steeped in military tradition. The soldier also happened to be the merchant's bank manager. It would end with the death of one man and mark the demise of a 600-year-old ritual. [more inside]

You may get as many as three songs for your 2:31 of youtubery, I can't say for certain if they are individual pieces or just movements in a larger piece. Also, spirit liquor may have played a part in the creative act.

Ron Paul and the Sex Pistols
"Ron Paul and the Sex Pistols!" Never thought I'd hear the words "Ron Paul and the Sex Pistols" in the same phrase.
"The right man for the job will be aged between 18 and 21 and will presumably need to demonstrate an abundance of energy and the ability to withstand repeated showers of saliva, the traditional punk rock crowd's sign of respect for performers."
But who is the right man?

Ask 58? MORE LIKE KANSAS HATES HIMSELF MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE. But no seriously i was more surprised that Missouri was going mostly democrat for a short time during the elections more than Kansas was Republican. He doesn't want to admit it because he's a sore loser but he did vote for Romney.
I'm going to keep going because this is entertaining.
When i start to think my people are stupid during an election, i think this. "My people aren't stupid. The other states are stupid." ^.^
Everyone's people are stupid in their own respect, thats just how humans operate.

League of Legends: Canada Day/4th of July Contest by MomoriiWatch
©2013-2016 Momorii
This was my submission to the art contest for the MOBA League of Legends.( na.leagueoflegends.com/ ) From what I am aware, I didn't make the cut for public voting, but may have still have been chosen as a Rioter favourite... Here's to hoping! You can vote for the other entries, here: woobox.com/7k7bhk
Decided to show how I celebrate Canada Day -- Live music and fireworks. So I drew one of the legitimate couples in the game (though, only for political reasons), enjoying the festivities.
Champions in this piece: Tryndamere, Ashe, Mordekaiser, Karthus, Olaf, Sona, and Yorick.

Call down the reckoning to bring back hope and peace, restore our gloria, to live forever...
they are cute ^3^
this is really really nice
Oooooooh it's so precious...
there needs to be more pictures of thest two.
its a shame that there aren't more pictures of this couple
A day spending time with ur husband/wife
Thisis great
awwww, i love this couple *^* very good
Honestly, with most League art being either combat or outright smut, something "sweet" makes a great change. Very nice piece, it'd be great to see more.
Holy expletive woman! I swear my jaw just hit the floor.
Really nice work! Though I would have like it more if Tryndamere wasn't wearing his helm.
Haha, yeah, I think I agree. But, I wanted him to look iconic, so that people would easily be able to recognize him. Thank you for the comment!
I'm sure you've seen the contest winners.
One of 'em had a very similar idea to yours www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbi….
'Just thought I'd drop by to say I thought your idea was more creative and more visually appealing. I wonder why you weren't in the community voting.
Thank you, I appreciate that very much. I saw that one submission and my heart sank. I was a bit sad that someone had a very similar idea to mine; but I suppose they won for a reason. Honestly, there were a lot of wonderful submissions that didn't make it to community voting. I feel like I might have had a better chance of winning if I just drew yordles or slapped Teemo into something... I'm sad that even though so many people entered, only a few people had their art showcased.
I hope you'll still participate in Riot's next contests. I really liked your entry.
Although I do think their judging criteria seemed a bit off, don't give up. I entered as well and didn't make it to the voting either.
I'm not too sure after the way they handled it, lol. I hope they at least learn that the community didn't like how their system worked.
I like this a lot, it's cute~
This is lovely! Good job :3
Cute. ^_^
like it
Aaaah, this is amazing! It should definitely be in Riot's favourites, it's beautiful! Awesome work! C:
Haha, well, one can hope, but I don't want to get those hopes up. There were many other beautiful pieces. But thank you for your kind words.
Drawing skills OP, must buff more!
Love it

The delivery of the latest EC225 to the China Ministry of Transport's Rescue and Salvage Bureau completes the fulfilment of the contract signed in 2009 for the supply of two EC225 for offshore search and rescue missions, with the earlier unit being delivered end of June this year.
The Ministry of Transport (MOT) signed on another two new Eurocopter EC225 helicopters in 2009, after having very positive experience with the first two EC225 that were delivered in 2007 and used extensively in many search and rescue (SAR) missions, including the 2008 Sichuan earthquake.
The two new helicopters are to be operated by the Rescue and Salvage Bureau (CRS) for offshore SAR missions, the first of which was delivered in end June, and the second aircraft being handed over today in a delivery ceremony in Zhuhai. The ceremony was attended by Mr. Zhang Jinshan, Deputy Director of Rescue & Salvage Bureau, China Ministry of Transport, Mr. Huo Rongmeng, Deputy Mayor of Zhuhai, Mr. Yue Jianjun, Vice President of AVIC International, as well as Mr. Bruno Boulnois, CEO of Eurocopter China.
The delivery marks a befitting start to the renewed co-operation between Eurocopter and MOT/CRS to develop SAR activities in the country. Equipped with search lights, weather radar, hoist and the most advanced avionics system, the two new SAR-configured EC225 will boost the CRS fleet operating along the Chinese coastline.
Underlining Eurocopter China's commitment to helping China develop its SAR capability, Bruno Boulnois pointed out that "Delivering the helicopters is just the first step; we will also be working closely with MOT/CRS in developing SAR technologies by sharing our technical know-how, as well as training flight personnel and operators, to build up a robust SAR network for the country.â€
To date, a total of 10 EC225 are flying in China, used for different missions including police and fire-fighting operations, offshore SAR and disaster relief, as well as passenger transport particularly in the oil and gas sector. Together with 17 other AS332 L1 and L2 models, Eurocopter has a total of 27 helicopters from the Super Puma family operating in the country – effectively supplying the largest fleet in this 10/11-ton twin-engine category.

text: Papua New Guinea weevil has nut-and-bolt legs Science 04 July 11 by Mark Brown Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Think nuts and bolts are exclusive to mechanics and engineers? Think again. The Trigonopterus oblongus weevil has been using the mechanism in its hips for 100 million years.Using samples from the Karlsruhe State Museum of Natural History and the instruments at the Institute for Synchrotron Radiation at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (ANKA), biologists have made computed tomography (CT) scans of the Papua New Guinea bug.They found that the weevil didn't have the classic ball-and-joint or hinged appendages seen in other animals and insects. The beetle instead has a distinctly spiral-shaped tip to the leg, and a threaded coxa, which acts like a hip.The two body parts screw in together, and then allow for around 130 degrees of rotation on the back legs, and 90 degrees on the front. It doesn't make them better walkers -- weevils are rather clumsy beetles -- but it can help with climbing.By being able to move their legs further down, the Trigonopterus can get a better foothold on the leaves and twigs of the Papua New Guinea jungle, as it climbs to higher areas and better food. The screw system is also less likely to become dislocated. Since the discovery, researchers at the museum and ANKA have studied another 15 weevils and discovered the same screwy joints on all of the tiny beetles. "Obviously, this joint exists in all weevils, of which more than 50,000 species exist worldwide," explains Alexander Riedel from the Karlsruhe State Museum.

MORROW, GEORGIA -- This related to my other review for David's Bridal. In short, we were duped into a Mary Kay party by DB saying we'd won a spa day. Against our better judgment, we stuck around for the party even after we knew what we were in for. The women were so incredibly rude. The lead woman in particular was the worst. She was all up on her soapbox about how great it was that she sold Mary Kay because she could be a stay at home mom. Another said her kids were in the "accelerated" program at school because Mary Kay allowed her to raise her kids herself. This was incredibly offensive to me and I don't even have kids. It was doubly so for my friend's mom who was a working mom.
This woman would also not stop touching me. Every time she got near our table, she would grab my shoulder. It took everything I had not to swat her hand and tell her to back off. Unless I ask you to touch me, hands off. I did my best to be polite during our "independent consultation", but I know my displeasure with the situation came across. Avoid the Mary Kay consultants at the Pink Cadillac Success Studio in Morrow, GA. They're awful! If you really want to buy Mary Kay, I'm sure you can find a friend of a friend who won't insult you with every word that comes out of their mouth.
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA -- I ordered $300.00 worth of Mary Kay products and it broke my skin out. I then contacted the Mary Kay consultant and she offered me a new product. I tried it and again my skin gave a negative response. I made a second attempted to reach my consultant, only this time requesting a refund. She responded with "I'm going out of town and we can try something new when I return". And I haven't heard from her again.

17 things you can do to help your camera live longer
Your DSLR will deliver years of hassle-free photography, as long as you're prepared to look after it. With that in mind, guest bloggers from Photoventure offer up 17 simple tips for how to protect your digital camera and make it live longer.
Some are recommended camera care routines that many of us in all truth probably don't carry out as often as we probably should, while other tips offer less obvious ways to extend the life of a camera, particularly if you're a photography beginner.
1. Do… Read the camera manual
Your camera's manual is full of invaluable advice and essential warnings for preventing camera damage and keeping it running smoothly — from how to extend the life of the camera battery to how to avoid overheating when you're using Live View.
SEE MORE: Your digital camera's enemies (and how to defeat them)
2. Don't… Expose the camera to extreme heat
Chances are that this will be highlighted in a bold font at the front of your camera manual. Excessive heat and digital cameras aren't good bedfellows. Leave a camera locked in a hot car and you risk plastic parts becoming warped and rubber components deteriorating.
SEE MORE: 77 photography techniques, tips and tricks for taking pictures of anything
3. Do… Attach a camera strap
If you haven't dropped your camera at least once then, well, you're just not pushing your gear hard enough. Seriously though, a camera strap can prevent the ground from smashing your DSLR's digital brains in. It might get in the way when you're shooting from a tripod, but wouldn't you rather out up with that than foot an extensive camera repair bill?
SEE MORE: Beginner photography tips: the most common mistakes and how to avoid them
4. Don't… Get 'water-resistant' and 'waterproof' mixed up
Your camera may have O rings and weather resistant seals in all the right places, but unless it's a dedicated underwater camera it hasn't been designed to withstand a drenching.
A few spots of rain are unlikely to cause problems, but avoid wet conditions. If the camera does get damp, wipe the body down with a chamois leather or microfibre cloth as soon as possible, and don't change lenses until the lens and lens mount area are dry.
SEE MORE: Breaking bad photo habits: 10 classic blunders and ways to improve
5. Do… Consider adding a battery grip and tripod plate to the camera and/or lens
These can provide an extra layer of protection, should you drop the camera, and they're easier to replace.
SEE MORE: 10 reasons why your photos aren't sharp (and what you can do about it)
6. Don't… Take a naked camera from a cold environment to a warm one
If you've been shooting outdoors in cold temperatures and bring the camera indoors, condensation may form on the outside of the camera and its internal parts.
To prevent this, put the camera in a sealed plastic bag before taking it into a warm room. Make sure it's wrapped up tightly, so that condensation forms on the outside of the bag rather than the cold camera body. Once the camera has warmed up to room temperature, you're good to go.
SEE MORE: How to set up a camera for the first time: 11 things you need to do first
7. Do… Consider fitting clear UV filters to your lenses
A protective lens filter is a worthwhile accessory for a number of reasons. Without a filter in place, there's a risk that the filter ring would become dented or the front element damaged should you drop the camera.
Using a lens hood also helps to absorb impact if your camera hits the deck. A clear filter is also useful when you're photographing in the rain, or at the coast where it prevents the lens's front element from being exposed to salt spray.
SEE MORE: 24 camera features every beginner photographer should memorize
8. Don't… Change lenses when it's windy
Obviously you can change lenses whenever you want to, but doing it in a stiff breeze increases the likelihood of dust and other particles entering the camera body and ending up being deposited on the sensor (or rather, the anti-aliasing filter in front of it).
You're particularly putting your camera at risk when you change lenses at the beach or when you're a passenger in a vehicle being driven along a dirt road (a specific example, we know, but just the sort of thing that happens on safari). It's often better to plan ahead and fit a zoom that will give you a wider range of framing options.
