Elections of Treaty Body Members
Each Treaty body is composed of independent experts of recognized competence in human rights, who are nominated and elected for fixed, renewable terms of four years by State parties. The elections of half of the committees' members are staggered every 2 years to ensure a balance between continuity and change in committee composition. All elected members serve in their personal capacity.
The committees with no limit on terms of membership are CERD, CMW, CAT, CESCR, HRCttee, CEDAW and CRC.
CED, CRPD and SPT are the committees in which members can only be re-elected once.
In accordance with General Assembly resolution 68/268, States are encouraged to give due consideration to equitable geographical distribution, the representation of different forms of civilization and the principal legal systems, balanced gender representation and the participation of experts with disabilities, when nominating independent experts for committee elections [paragraph 13].

When are elections taking place?
Elections for half the members take place every two years. The terms of the members of the newest treaty bodies (Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture, Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Committee on Enforced Disappearances) are renewable only once.
Members of the treaty bodies are expected to meet a number of requirements:
1) To be a national of a State party to the human rights treaty in question.
2) To be elected by the States parties to the treaty in question (with the exception of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, whose members are elected by the Economic and Social Council upon nomination by States parties to the ICESCR1.
3) To be a person of high moral standing and recognized to have competence in the relevant field of human rights.
4) To be available to regularly attend the sessions of the Committee in question.
5) To serve in their personal capacity.
Due consideration should be given to equitable geographic representation, as well as to an appropriate representation of different legal systems and of balanced gender representation.
Who can nominate candidates?
The nomination and election processes for treaty body members fall within the sphere of competency of States parties to the various international human rights treaties. States parties nominate candidates for membership in the treaties' monitoring bodies from among their nationals. These monitoring bodies are referred to as committees. The nominations are compiled by the Secretary-General who submits them for consideration to all the States parties to a specific treaty.
How are elections conducted?
Elections of treaty body members take place during meetings of States parties. Two thirds of the States parties constitute a quorum, and experts are elected by secret ballot. The persons elected to the various committees are those nominees who obtained the largest number of votes and an absolute majority of the votes of the representatives of States parties present and voting.
This procedure is common to all treaty bodies with the exception of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights whose members are elected by the Economic and Social Council. In addition, procedures vary with regard to the number of candidates a state party can nominate.
When does the mandate expire?
The mandate of a treaty body member ends upon the expiry of the term for which he or she was appointed. Death, resignation, or any other cause2 that prevents a member from continuing to perform his/her Committee duties are justifications for early termination of a treaty body member's mandate.
Independence and expertise of treaty body members
As the need to safeguard the perception of independence and impartiality begins with the nomination process at the national level, a number of States parties have adopted national policies and processes for conducting the nomination process in a transparent, open and inclusive manner conducive to selecting candidates with the required expertise and independence.
In the same vein, since 1997 the chairpersons of treaty bodies through their Annual Meeting have repeatedly recommended that "States parties to human rights treaties should refrain from nominating or electing to the treaty bodies persons performing political functions or occupying positions which were not readily reconcilable with the obligations of independent experts under the given treaty".
A number of initiatives have also been undertaken to define the standards of ethical behaviour and professional conduct that treaty body members shall observe whilst discharging their mandates.
By its resolution 56/280 of 27 March 2002, the General Assembly adopted the Regulations Governing the Status, Basic Rights and Duties of Officials other thanSecretariat Officials and Experts on Mission (ST/SGB/2002/9) whereby the conduct of officials and experts on mission is regulated with a view to upholding the highest standards of efficiency, competence and integrity. These regulations are applicable to treaty body members.
Some treaty bodies have also developed tools to guarantee the independence and impartiality of their members. Whereas most treaty bodies have provisions to this end in their respective rules of procedure, the Human Rights Committee adopted a separate set of guidelines (annex III of A/53/40, vol.I) in 1999.
In June 2012, the Chairs of the treaty bodies discussed and endorsed guidelines on the independence and impartiality of treaty body members (the so-called "Addis Ababa guidelines") at their twenty-fourth meeting held in Addis Ababa.
1. ECOSOC Resolution 1985/17, Review of the composition, organization and administrative arrangements of the Sessional Working Group of Governmental Experts on the Implementation of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, para. c.
2. ICCPR, Art. 33; CAT, Art. 17(6); OP-CAT, Art. 8; CRC, Art. 43(7); CMW, Art. 72(6); CRPD, Art. 34(9); and CED, Art. 26(5).

Battersea celebrates new bill on animal cruelty after thousands campaign for tougher sentences
Battersea Dogs & Cats Home has today strongly welcomed the publication of The Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill which proposes increasing sentences for the most serious animal cruelty offences from six months to five years. After heavily campaigning for this change in legislation since February 2017, the leading animal welfare charity has called today's announcement a 'landmark achievement' for dogs and cats in England and Wales.
Claire Horton, Battersea Chief Executive, says: "The introduction of this bill is a landmark achievement, which will make a profound difference to dogs and cats in England and Wales.
"Over 63,000 people backed Battersea's campaign to increase animal cruelty sentences, sending out a strong message that the current six-month punishment for this type of crime is unacceptable and that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in England and Wales.
"We and many other rescue centres see shocking cases of cruelty and neglect come through our gates and there are many more animals that are dumped and don't even make it off the streets. Research shows that tougher prison sentences act as a deterrent to would-be criminals and today's announcement should prevent the suffering of so many animals in the future."
Battersea launched its campaign calling for five-year sentences in February 2017. Its research looked at 100 different jurisdictions across the world and found England and Wales' maximum six-month sentence to be the lowest, lagging far behind countries like Ireland at five years and Germany at three years.
The campaign was supported by well-known faces including Paul O'Grady, Sue Perkins, Ricky Gervais, Harry Hill and Tracey Ullman.
Battersea Ambassador Paul O'Grady said: "During my time at Battersea I have seen some truly heart-breaking cases of animal cruelty and severe neglect. One that always sticks in my mind is a dog called Sparkle, who'd been dumped in a suitcase in a park. When she came into Battersea she was a bag of bones – you could see every one of her ribs. Yet she was so trusting and loving, despite all the suffering she'd been through."
"Our pets don't have a voice of their own, so we need to speak for them. The introduction of five-year-sentences for animal cruelty in England and Wales sends a clear message that we value our pets and we won't stand for them being mistreated."
Sadly, Battersea sees cruelty cases like Sparkle far too often. Last year, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Rex was rushed into Battersea after he was found by members of the public bleeding from a stab wound in his side. Despite Battersea's best efforts, the dog died on the operating table before vets could save him.
Claire Horton adds: "This new legislation, properly enforced, will help bring an end to animal suffering. We look forward to working with MPs of all parties to see this law passed, ensuring that the punishment for animal cruelty will finally fit the crime."
You can find pictures of Sparkle, Rex and Marjorie (the latter dog is mentioned in the Defra press release) by clicking on this link.
For further information or additional pictures and case studies please contact 020 7627 9265 or email press@battersea.org.uk
The Government first pledged to increase sentences for animal cruelty from six months to five years at the Conservative conference in 2017. Environment Secretary Michael Gove launched a draft Bill to bring about this change when he visited Battersea in December 2017. The results of this consultation were published in August 2018.
To find out more about Battersea's campaign to raise the maximum sentence for animal cruelty from six months to five years, visit notfunny.battersea.org.uk
The maximum sentence for animal cruelty under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 is only six months in prison in England and Wales and just 12 months in Scotland, compared to five years in both Ireland and Northern Ireland
Battersea published a report, Sentencing for animal cruelty in England and Wales, on 20 February 2017.
Battersea is also campaigning to see the maximum sentence for animal cruelty raised from one to five years in Scotland. For more information, see Battersea's report, Sentencing for animal cruelty in Scotland
117 MPs have pledged their support for Battersea's campaign to raise the maximum prison sentence for animal cruelty from six months to five years.
Battersea is here for every dog and cat and has been since 1860. Since it was founded over 150 years ago, Battersea has rescued, reunited and rehomed over 3.1 million dogs and cats.
We believe that every dog and cat deserves the best. That's why we aim to never turn away a dog or cat in need.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN: An International Symposium
Monmouth University, April 12-15, 2018:
"Welcome to the inaugural academic conference sponsored by the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music. Convened on the beautiful campus of Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey, the conference will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen's 1978 classic album Darkness on the Edge of Town.
"Pre-conference activities will commence on Thursday, April 12th, and conclude on the afternoon of Sunday, April 15th. The conference will welcome an international roster of participants, as well as a host of keynote speakers and musical acts celebrating the life and times of the Jersey Shore and popular music."
THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S GREATEST SHOW
VisuaLecture by Arlen Schumer on Saturday, April 14th:
"2018 marks the 40th Anniversary of Bruce Springsteen's Darkness On The Edge of Town, acknowledged as one of his greatest albums--and September 19th, 2018 will mark the 40th Anniversary of what many consider his and The E Street Band's greatest single show: the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey.
"Why this particular show? Why does it stand out from not only all the other amazing Darkness tour performances, but from Bruce's entire performing career? There are many reasons--and that's what my presentation will be all about.
"I was in the 6th row of the landmark show, 20 years old at the time, and the art director of Thunder Road magazine, the first Springsteen fan publication. My photographer friend took color photographs of the concert, the only color images from the show that exist. I've written about the show over the years, and, in honor of the show's 40th Anniversary, have put together a multi-media lecture presentation that recreates the concert in words, images and music."

COMIC BOOKS & THE TWILIGHT ZONE VisuaLecture at New York Wintercon!
Saturday, December 2 @ 2pm
Resort World Casino, New York
Did Rod Serling, creator and head writer of the legendary TV series The Twilight Zone, read EC Comics? According to Serling's widow, Rod was "...an admirer of fantasy and horror tales...his library was full of books by Poe and Lovecraft, Shelley and James, and work by their 'great-grandchildren,' published in Fantasy & Science Fiction, Galaxy and If." But did Rod's library include comic books too, like the (in-)famous 1950's EC horror and science-fiction titles with their shocking twist endings that so many Twilight Zone episodes resemble? Illustrator, comic book historian and Twilight Zone scholar Arlen Schumer (author/designer of the coffee table books The Silver Age of Comic Book Art and Visions from The Twilight Zone) will answer that question with his tantalizing VisuaLecture, "submitted for your approval."

Justin Trudeau Welcomes Sharia to Canada and Is a 'Complete Idiot'
He doesn't care what Islam does to peoplekind.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has turned his country into a meme. That's according to commentator Paul Joseph Watson, whose latest video, "Justin Trudeau is a Complete Idiot," brilliantly excoriates the PM. Dare we say it's one of Watson's finest and funniest yet.
Trudeau tossed conservatives a softball this week when he corrected someone's use of "mankind" by telling them it's more inclusive to use "peoplekind." While that's easy to make fun of, it's nothing compared to the kind of dangerous thinking that's at his core. The PM has confirmed that his Liberal Party "believes that terrorists should get to keep their Canadian citizenship." He not only wants ISIS fighters to be reintegrated back into society, and somehow de-radicalized, his party doesn't even want them prosecuted. Trudeau has even apologized to a Muslim Gitmo detainee for his treatment and settled with him a $10 million lawsuit.
But what's more, Trudeau believes Islam is completely compatible with Western democracy and has said so on many occasions:
Not only that, the Canadian prime minister is welcoming of sharia law in his country, according to the American Center for Democracy, which quotes a Vancouver imam who said last year:
"I'll tell you who wants to bring Sharia Law. The Canadian government wants to bring Sharia Law and this is not a joke. Why? Because Sharia Law is simply the way Muslims are doing things.
"The Canadian government wanted the Muslims to be able to regulate their own issues....to solve their problems amongst themselves [according] to Sharia Law, so it is not a burden on the court system which is already so bogged down.
"The government told us – we would like you to have this system, and we would like to work on these initiatives with you."
Urging citizens to say "peoplekind," as ridiculous as it is, is mere child's play to providing a safe haven for Islamic law to flourish. Doing so is indeed complete idiocy.
Stanford Accepts Muslim Teen for Writing '#BlackLivesMatter' 100 Times on Application


John the Theologian could not help hearing about the earthquake of the sixty-third year BC. This earthquake occurred on the territory of the modern Kerch Strait, that is, on the territory of our country.
The earthquake was fateful for the Pontic kingdom and for the Asia Minor province of Assia, which was then part of it, the former Ionia (where John the Theologian lived later). Perhaps the earthquake was one of the reasons for the death of this state.
Without asserting anything, I will give a couple of facts, testified by trustworthy people.
The first certificate belongs to a deceased educated woman who spoke two foreign languages in 1987. At the zenith of her work, she was the deputy head of the personnel department of a large Moscow factory; during the war she was a dispatcher at a large workshop at the same factory.

Kat's 9 Lives: Marche Moderne : Horrible Service, Horrible Restaurant!
Marche Moderne : Horrible Service, Horrible Restaurant!
Last Saturday I went to Marche Modern and the pictures were somehow deleted from my camera. Since I liked the food from last time, I decided to go again. Tofu liked this place to so he was willing to come again with me. The Spontanée menu for the weekdays are $20 and for the weekends are $25 for a 3-course pre-fixe meal. It is a pretty nice deal for New American food. BUT... this time around we received HORRENDOUS service. I don't think Tofu and I will be back. Even if we did, we probably would hold a deep grudge. The first time it wasn't as busy and the service was slow but nice. This time they were super packed for lunch. We were seated immediately and then NOTHING! No one came by to ask what we would like to drink or if we were ready to order. Do remember that it's been really hot outside these days and anyone would be thirsty! Eventually someone gave us bread but nothing else. People who were seated after us that were near us immediately got their drinks and bread. Tofu and I were getting agitated after waiting a while. I also needed water to take pain killers for my knee, so imagine my dismay that the service was so bad! After a while, I flagged down this older lady who probably was a manager because she wasn't wearing the aprons that servers wore. I explained to her that we had waited a while and received no service. She impatiently said, "So what would you like to drink?" and brushed us off. Then she RUDELY asked, "Are you ready to order?" She took it and just left in a hurry. I understand they are busy and such, but they need some common courtesy and decency! She should have at LEAST apologized that no one came around to take our drinks and order. This really shows how LOW CLASS this place really is! At first I thought this place could be a new favorite because it serves the type of food I seek when I go to NY, but now they are nothing but dirt to me!
The first course was a Marche Moderne version of Caprese. I thought they did this very inventively. They used yellow tomatoes and fresh mozzarella with basil. It was a nice presentation and the taste was very nice. I really liked that they did a tomato sorbet that kicked it up a notch. It's definitely not a new idea, but the flavor of the tomato sorbet was very sweet and delectable. This was probably my favorite course of the day. It's very light and simple, yet flavorful.
I decided to get two lunches because I wanted to try both main course dishes. The Roasted Maine Scallops with Lemon Mosto Scented Eggplant Flageolet au Beurre de Pastis was DISGUSTING. Tofu and I almost gagged. Sadly, I didn't know Flageolet were beans as I abhor beans and never eat them. lol EWW! That's not even the reason why the dish was bad. I didn't want to cause too much trouble and since I was already really annoyed, I decided not to send this dish back. I really should have though! The scallops were not cooked well, it was a little rubbery or they just weren't fresh. They were beautiful scallops but not done well. The eggplant on top was just funky and the green beans below were VILE! It tasted like black licorice! Blech! Avoid this dish if it ever cycles back on the lunch menu.
Tofu and I both got the Roasted Duck Breast, Carmelized Endive, Port Jus, and Potatoes. I felt the presentation was lacking in cleanliness. At first I thought it had potential but there was blood juice scattered across the plate, which only made it unacceptable! Below is the picture with the blood gathered on one side.
Here is a cleaner shot, where I focus on the cleaner side. I like to make my pictures pristine, so I showed you the real entire photo and then focus on a prettier view. The duck, even though bloody, was very tough! They really need a lesson in preparing cooked food! The appetizers are usually the best and require little to no cooking. Tofu had a huge tendon in his duck. I was annoyed that I had to SAW into the duck to get individual pieces. The sauce on this dish was fine and much better than the horrible scallops. I thought the dish as a whole was only sub par. It's not anything new or unusual and it wasn't even done well!
For dessert they had "Crepe" with Mint Gelato and Strawberries. I actually liked this a lot. It was light and flavorful. The crepe was sweet yet had a solid texture. The mint flavor along with the strawberries only enhanced each other.
All in all the food has its ups and downs. Tofu and I debated on which meal was the best, but we both agreed that the appetizers were always the best dish. They really can't make the main dish right, it's always missing something or not cooked well. IF THEY HAD BETTER SERVICE, I would have still kept coming back to try new dishes. Tofu and I felt that they purposely ignored us just because we are not their typical clientèle, which would be the elderly. It's just wrong that they should judge us just because we are young. Who are they to decide who would tip better? For their information, I always try to tip around 20% or more at nicer restaurants. I also am a FIRM BELIEVER that a server only deserves the tip if they do the job well. In all honesty, I have been to many top restaurants around the world and this place definitely can't even compare in taste. At least they should have better service, which would only enhance the dining experience. The sad part is we went to a cheap join for dinner and their service was a MILLION times better. Even a fast food place has better service than this horrendous restaurant. Would I recommend this place now? It's pretty obvious that it would be a NO! I am still debating if I want to report them to the South Coast Mall Management about their discriminatory behavior! We never even had a server for the whole meal nor did they ever apologize or make any feeble attempt in compensation. If you want good food, definitely go somewhere else because there are TONS of great restaurants around with much BETTER service!
Okay some people need to GET A LIFE! If you think this is one of the best restaurants around then YOU don't know food. It is not too bad for OC but not the most consistent. Apparently the weekends are the worst time to go since the chef is not there, or I have been told. Due to people who are just rude and retarded and need to just start their own site if they have issues, the comments will now be changed and moderated. It is soooo obvious they are the crappy owner of this pathetic place and need to get a life. I have given better reviews of this place as I went back with others. I'm fair enough to give it another shot because I do think this restaurant has potential and is a good deal.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland to unveil new Notes for Notes® Studio thanks to Turner Construction and the Hot Topic Foundation
May 11, 2016 Featured partners, News
Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland, which provides safe, fun places for youth after school at 15 locations, has partnered with national non-profit organization Notes for Notes, which designs, equips and staffs after-school recording studios, on its new Notes for Notes Studio. Built with funds and resources secured by Turner Construction Company and the Hot Topic Foundation, which has worked with Notes for Notes for the last seven years, the studio will provide one-of-a-kind opportunities to explore, create, and record music for free; expand the offerings in BGCC's exemplary band program; and put young adults on a positive path.
The new studio, which is located in BGCC's Broadway Club, 6114 Broadway Ave., Cleveland, will be officially opened at a 4 p.m. ceremony May 17.
The new Notes for Notes Studio is packed with guitars, drums, keyboards and synthesizers, and DJ gear and features a stage with lighting, podcasting stations, and full recording studio facilities. It will also feature a specially dedicated Mix Room in honor Audio Technica.. Open to all Boys & Girls Club members, the studio will be an epicenter for music exploration and creation. Over the past five years, more than 200 youth have been involved in the BGCC band program—most of whom had never picked up an instrument before joining the Club. In the studio, kids will be exposed to a variety of instruments and private and group instruction, and can track and mix their own music while learning about careers in the industry.
"We get to know our young people and understand their interests," says Matt Bott, BGCC's arts director. "Many of our youths expressed interest in a studio–and we listened. We are framing this out to be both an opportunity to explore a career and as a creative outlet, one in which we have Notes for Notes' professionals on hand to help the youth throughout the entire process."
One day a week, at-risk teens and adults working with BGCC's Cleveland Peacemakers Alliance – an anti-crime initiative that uses mediation, gang interaction and conflict resolution to reduce street violence – will use the studio before Club hours. Peacemakers Alliance case workers will accompany the young adults and work with Notes for Notes staff to leverage the studio as an outlet to express themselves.
"Notes for Notes has had its eye on Cleveland for a long time. This is the city that birthed rock 'n roll, and we aim to continue that tradition by fostering the next generation of musicians here," says Philip Gilley, Notes for Notes' CEO and co-founder. "We are honored to be partnering with the BGCC and their wonderful team that make such a tremendous difference in the lives of so many Cleveland youth. We are extremely grateful to the Hot Topic Foundation and Turner Construction for making this studio possible. We can't wait for Cleveland to hear its talented youth!"
"Every day, we work to build the future of the communities we live in," says Jason Jones, vice president and general manager of Turner's Cleveland office. "This studio will be an incredible resource that Cleveland's young adults can use to build their own futures. We're very proud of this team of new hires who led this construction project."
BGCC President Ron Soeder praised Notes for Notes for opening the new studio and applauded the efforts of Turner Construction, which raised $30,000 and brought on many in-kind donations for the construction and management of the project over a two-year period. "We are blessed to have amazing partners on this project," Soeder said. "Our kids will benefit from the equipment and expertise provided by Notes for Notes, and Turner Construction's funding – for this project and in terms of ongoing support – has been nothing short of transformational."

Can one shirt really make a difference?
This is something I have struggled with. Our North American culture is constantly screaming at us, that it is all about me.
It is something that has bothered me but that has been it.
But this past month I am sick of it. I am tired of me saying I want to change the world and than living in ways that don't reflect it.
I am going to South Africa and living with people who only have one shirt- if they can do it- why can't I? They don't have a choice but yet they survive, while I'm buying so many clothes and thinking its all about me and what I want.
This will be a hard challenge but a wake up call for sure.
Wanna join me- even for a week!?
Also let me know what you think of this!

Listen to the people or set Nigeria on fire -Wike tells Buhari
Thursday, November 26, 2020 Motunrayo 0 Latest News in Nigeria
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has advised President Buhari to listen to the demands of the people or set Nigeria on fire.
His advice came just 48 hours after Wike hosted in Port Harcourt a meeting of South South governors and a Presidential team, headed by Professor Ibrahim Gambari, Chief of staff to President Buhari.
At the meeting the governors made a demand for the restructuring of Nigeria and also the relocation of oil companies from Lagos to Niger Delta.
The usually voluble and blunt governor spoke again today on a Channels TV programme, Sunrise Daily.
"We must understand in this country that political leadership is very key," Wike said.
"Having the political will to implement what the people want is very serious.
"I don't want to talk about the issue of distrust or no trust in government.
"People have raised such issues, that they don't think that nothing will come out of all this dialogue.
"I don't agree with that. I believe that if the president does not do, given the opportunities he has now, then, he will be putting Nigeria on fire."


An overview of using treatment planning software with hands-on training.

Argh pc fucksy grr ness etcetera.
My pc is fucksy. It is full of wrongness. I haven't posted much anywhere, haven't been able to comment on my favourite blogs and so on, because at any time, without warning, crash, it chucks me off, it deletes my email/post/whatever.
Of course this happens when I am supposed to be really concentrating on my attempted entry to the NYP Bookseller comp. Le sigh. I can't write direct to pc in case it snaffles it, instead I am scrawling longhand on various ripped out bits of paper, and trying to convince myself that somehow they will come together and become a cohesive and wonderful whole.
Oh dear, I fear I'm writing utter shite.
Oh dear. Sorry to read about your pc being full of wrongness. Let's hope you will be able to drain the wrongness away and fill up with rightness.


My brother is going to kill me for posting this but I wanted to show you my biggest con of having a small space. Before my parents bought a home close to me, when visiting my parents would have to stay in a hotel and my little brother would have to stay in my living room. Poor kid! No wonder he barely came to visit.
As you can see the biggest con is not having enough space to have overnight visitors. We would pull out the blow up mattress and place it in the middle of my living room, right next to the front door. Once my daughter woke up in the morning she would go lay down next to her uncle and wake him up. With that said we do not have overnight guests so most of the time my house is very organized.
Do not be after to go bold in a small room. Although light colors make the room light and airy, a small room can handle dark colors as well as bold prints. Just remember don't over use different patterns in a small room. Be adventures!


MICHAEL BRISSENDEN: A group of Aboriginal rangers from across the country have come to Canberra to lobby for a program they say is providing real jobs and hope for the future.
An independent report is being launched at Parliament House this morning, highlighting the environmental, economic and social benefits of the federally-funded program that employs almost 800 rangers in full time jobs.
It calls for that number to double, in the next five years, and for five thousand jobs to be funded in the long term.
PETA DONALD: They're working for federally funded Aboriginal ranger programs, in some of the most remote parts of Australia.
BENJAMIN KENNY: What we do with feral animals, we eat. Also water monitoring with the rangers.
PHILLIP MCCARTHY: [inaudible] We do a lot, manage fire, fire management, early season burning.
MELANIE HERDMAN: Where's there's areas where there's been erosion or impact, human impact, we try and maintain and re-establish areas.
PETA DONALD: Melanie Herdman from Arnhem Land, and before her Benjamin Kenny from Central Australia and Phillip McCarthy from the Kimberly.
Around the country, there are 770 full time Indigenous rangers, more than 1400 if you include part timers.
A review commissioned by environment group Pew Charitable Trusts finds the work is succeeding where many other programs have failed.
Phillip McCarthy from the Kimberly, in Western Australia.
PHILLIP MCCARTHY: Job wise, this is probably the one that's giving the biggest outcome. It's more meaningful, it's keeping people at home with helping the whole community.
The rangers become role models and all the young kids who are leaving school say 'I want to become a ranger' because they're seeing what we're doing, their spirits, their levels are rising to another level. They're getting very confident in public speaking - but there's an option. There's hope, there's actually hope.
The ranger program actually brought hope, and, you know, if you look at something that's ticking all the boxes, this is.
PETA DONALD: The report recommends long term funding, and scaling it up. Phillip McCarthy.
PHILLIP MCCARTHY: We're looking at trying to double the ranger program for a start. Maybe, you know, aim at 5,000 rangers throughout, you know, throughout Australia.
PETA DONALD: Melanie Herdman says there's much more work that could be done.
MELANIE HERDMAN: We have, you know, a lot of erosion, we have a lot of dirt tracks you know, being created by motorists, you know, just for recreational purposes - but you know, damaging sacred sites, damaging places of significant values to the Yolngu people in Arnhem Land.
And we'd like to, you know, we'd like to work together to change that and to make sure that you know, the recreational access to land is available but also managing those special areas and significant areas that the [inaudible] would like to see and continue to see in the same way that our ancestors would have seen that land.
PETA DONALD: For many in remote Australia, it's the best job going.
Benjamin Kenny, and Phillip McCarthy.
BENJAMIN KENNY: It's actually good to go out there and you know, listen to the old people when you take them out and they tell you the stories from when they were growing up, and you listen to stories and they pass it onto their grandchildren.
PHILLIP MCCARTHY: But it's enjoyable work, you know? People are back on country. Its hard work but you ask a lot of the guys, this is the best work they've ever got, yeah.
MICHAEL BRISSENDEN: Phillip McCarthy, from the Kimberly. Peta Donald reporting.
And AM contacted the Indigenous Affairs Minister Nigel Scullion for comment, but he was unavailable.

Q: get the coordinates(latitude and longitude) of google map by street address - angular so i have random street address, lets say: 5707 dogwood ave. all i want is to get the coordinates of that address so i can view my google map at the street location using angular.
i've search but wasn't able to find anything useful.
the map code(very basic map)
$scope.map = {
    center: {
        latitude: 33.025859,
        longitude: -96.844698
    },
    zoom: 8
};

html code:
<google-map class="full-image" center="map.center" zoom="map.zoom"></google-map>

A: You can use an http.get as such to make a GET request at Google's API endpoint and retrieve a json of the address's coordinates:
$http.get('http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&sensor=false').success(function(mapData) {
      angular.extend($scope, mapData);
    });

and you can call out the data at $scope.mapData
Refer to this StackOverflow post for more info:
Google Maps API - Get Coordinates of address

A: Assuming you have the address you can use the Google Geocoding web service to manually retrieve the location coordinates. (I added a city and state to better refine the data)
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/
JSON:
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=5707%20dogwood%20ave.%20Rosamond,%20CA&sensor=false

XML:
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=5707%20dogwood%20ave.%20Rosamond,%20CA&sensor=false

Alternately there is a javascript wrapper on the API
I would also review this post regarding how to deal with rate limiting if you will be exceeding 2,500 requests per day.

A minimum weight limit for the Moto2 world championship is currently under discussion in a move that could significantly reduce the disadvantage heavier riders like British star Scott Redding currently have to contend with.
The entire Moto2 field were individually weighed in full riding kit including helmet during last weekend's Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island.
It was seen as the first move towards MotoGP management bowing to intense pressure to introduce a minimum weight limit in a class where the size of the rider plays a pivotal role, with everybody on the same Honda CBR600RR-based engine, Dunlop tyres and electronics.
The minimum weight limit, which MCN understands could be set at 220kg including bike and rider in full kit, will be further debated during a meeting of the Grand Prix Commission during the season's final round in Valencia next weekend.
Closely monitoring the discussions will be Gloucestershire teenager Redding and his Belgian-based Marc VDS Racing squad.
Redding and Marc VDS Racing boss Michael Bartholemy have repeatedly lobbied MotoGP bosses to introduce a minimum weight limit for rider and bike in a bid to tip the scales in favour of the bulkier riders.
Weighing in at 74kg, Redding is the heaviest rider in Moto2 and he has frequently bemoaned the performance disadvantage compared to featherweight riders like newly crowned world champion Marc Marquez, who is 15kg lighter.
When weighed in full riding kit at Phillip Island last Saturday, Redding's total weight was 87.7kg. Although not confirmed, it is understood Marquez's weight in full riding kit was just over 70kg. Redding's Finnish teammate Mika Kallio was only 67kg, while Japanese rider Tomoyoshi Koyama was only 60kg while decked out on his full racing gear.
Speaking to MCN, Redding said: "We have been pushing really hard for a weight limit and I think everyone can understand the disadvantage we are at. I was 87.7kg and it seems Marquez and (Pol) Espargaro were around the 70kg mark. And we were all weighed on the exact same scales, so 17kg is a massive difference. If we get a weight limit it would make the class even more interesting because it gives everybody a fair chance.
A clear demonstration of Redding's disadvantage came at the recent Motorland Aragon race in Spain when he was engaged in a race long duel with Marquez.
Espargaro said he was in favour of a more level playing field and he supported the introduction of a minimum weight limit.
It seems though that minimum weight debate for Moto2 is not based purely on performance but more out of a concern that heavier riders like Redding have to resort to extreme measures to keep their weight down like embarking on strict diets and punishing training regimes.
International Race Teams Association boss Mike Trimby told MCN the talks were only at a preliminary stage and it was not clear whether a minimum weight limit would be introduced for 2013 if approved.
Trimby told MCN: "There is a discussion about a minimum weight limit for Moto2 and it will be discussed by the Grand Prix Commission in Valencia. We weighed everybody in Phillip Island so we had a reference to see what the average weight is at the moment. IRTA proposed a minimum weight limit some years ago but it was turned down on the basis that they were balancing benefits of riders having an acceleration advantage and then weight and strength.

Maria Susairaj-Neeraj Grover case inspires RGV's 'Not A Love Story'
Movies | IBNLive | July 1, 2011, 7:27 pm
Jerome, a former naval officer, has been convicted for culpable homicide not amounting to murder under Indian Penal Code Section 304 (Part 1) and destruction of evidence under Section 201. Maria has been convicted for just destruction of evidence.
The trailer of the Ram Gopal Varma movie was launched on June 30 along with 'Delhi Belly'.
The shocking trailer of the film shows the two leads murdering the third and then having sex in front of the body, cutting it into pieces and disposing of it in shopping bags.
Ram Gopal Varma has said he wants to cast Maria Susairaj in his next film now that the Kannada actress has been absolved of murder charges in the killing of TV executive Neeraj Grover.
The actress, who has already been in jail for three years, is expected to walk free after she was found guilty of destroying the evidence and not committing the murder.
"Maria Susairaj wanted to become famous as an actress and she became famous as a murdress... If things went well it could have been a Rangeela for her," Varma posted on Twitter.
"Now that she has been released I want to sign Maria Susairaj for a film," the filmmaker tweeted.
Ram Gopal Varma's upcoming film 'Not A Love Story' is said to be a reel adaptation of the sensational and brutal killing of TV producer Neeraj Grover. A Mumbai sessions court sentenced Emile Jerome to 10 years in jail while Kannada actress and Jerome's girlfriend Maria Susairaj has been given three years in jail in the case.
Ram Gopal Varma, in a recent interview said 'Not A Love Story' is inspired by real life events but it is not based on the Grover case completely.
Mahi Gill is said to be playing the role of Maria Susairaj, Deepak Dobriyal her boyfriend Jerome, and Ajay Gehi plays Neeraj Grover.

Wi-Fi use + big data analytics = better passenger journeys in London?
Posted by Luke Upton on Sep 11, 2017
"...could enable us to map the journey patterns of millions of passengers and understand in much greater detail how people move around..."
A four week trial analysing Wi-Fi data on the London Underground has led to some fascinating insights and a focus on making this a permanent tool in gaining a better understanding into how passengers navigate the network. The Transport for London (TfL) pilot, which ran between November and December last year, studied depersonalised Wi-Fi connection and focused on 54 stations within Zones 1-4 and saw more than 509 million depersonalised 'probing requests', or pieces of data, collected from 5.6 million mobile devices making around 42 million journeys. The data collected was depersonalised, so that no individuals could be identified, and no browsing data was collected from devices. No data collected through the trial was made available to any third parties, and the pilot included clear communication with customers about how to opt out should they wish to do so.
These journeys were analysed by TfL's in-house analytics team and broken into different aggregated 'movement types' to help understand what customers were doing at particular points of their journeys - such as entering or exiting a station, changing between lines or just passing through the station while on a train.
By using this data, TfL was able to get a much more accurate understanding of how people move through stations, interchange between services and how crowding develops.
Val Shawcross ( @ValShawcross ) , Deputy Mayor for Transport, said: "We're determined to use the latest technology to improve the experience of every passenger using transport in London, and I'm delighted the trial has been a success. The analysis of secure, depersonalised Wi-Fi data could enable us to map the journey patterns of millions of passengers and understand in much greater detail how people move around our transport network. It will provide real benefits helping TfL tackle overcrowding, provide more information for passengers about their best journey route, and help us prioritise new investment where it's most needed."
The pilot revealed a number of results that could not have been detected from ticketing data or paper-based surveys. For example, analysis showed that customers travelling between King's Cross St Pancras and Waterloo take at least 18 different routes, with around 40% of customers observed not taking one of the two most popular routes.
How do people travel between King's Cross St. Pancras and Waterloo?
The data collected through the Wi-Fi pilot could have a number of benefits for TfL and its customers, including:
Allowing staff to better inform customers of the best way to avoid disruption or unnecessary crowding
Helping customers plan the route that best suits them - whether based on travel time, crowding or walking distance
Enabling greater sophistication in proving real-time information to customers as they travel across London
Helping further prioritise transport investment to improve services and address regular congestion points - ensuring the maximum benefits to customers
Providing a better insight on customer flows which could increase commercial revenue from companies which advertise or rent retail units on the transport network
While the usual ticketing data for major interchange stations such as Oxford Circus can show the levels of people entering and exiting the stations, it cannot show the huge numbers of people interchanging during peak hours, or precise local areas where crowding occurs on platforms or around escalators, whereas Wi-Fi data can.
How many passengers take the shortest route through Euston station?
Privacy concerns are a major factor for both those whose data is being assessed and those doing the analysis.
Dr Hannah Fry ( @FryRsquared ) from the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis at University College London, said of the study: As a Londoner whose journeys are no doubt included in the data collected, I was impressed by how far TfL have gone to take how we feel about our privacy seriously, at every stage they have preserved our anonymity, been transparent about the way the data is used and offered us the option to opt out. Their study serves as an exemplary model of how to treat your customers in the era of big data."
TfL has now begun discussions with key stakeholders, including the Information Commissioner's Office, privacy campaigners and consumer groups about how this data collection could be undertaken on a permanent basis, possibly across the full Tube network.
Lauren Sager Weinstein ( @laurenrsw ) Chief Data Officer at Transport for London, added: "We are now working closely with key stakeholders to examine our next steps and, as with the pilot, will keep our customers informed while also respecting their privacy and offering a way to opt-out should they wish."

Mold polishing [Archive] - CNCzone.com- Largest Forums for CNC Professional and Hobbyist alike!
I need to polish a small mold for a silicone rubber part, my efforts so far with a little buff wheel and dremel have been pretty poor, as the buff marks are showing up in the rubber after molding as a sheen, and dullness. I'm using a fine aluminum polish, some green stuff I picked up at Lowes.
The mold is 6061, the cavity is full of little nooks and crannies like an english muffin.
If anyone knows how to tackle this I'd love to hear it.
Put baking soda into a sand blaster and be VERY gentle. I'd go and buy a small cheap hand held unit to keep things simple. The mould would then at least be consistant.
I have a bead blast cabinet, I can just change out the bead for some baking soda. That will leave a smooth surface?
I have a 10 gallon vib polisher too....for those big .50 BMG rifle casings I reload. You use corn cob / walnut? I'll try that (why I never thought of it I'll never know).
If the issue is marks, then only a mechanical method or very skilled polisher will do. Otherwise, the silicone should have no release issues. I would recommned you use the method which best suits the geometry and size of the part.
Depending on how agressive the buff marks are, you may not be able to get rid of them with baking soda or any other blast media as it will not address the height tranisition you are seeing in the parts. Not knowing how you machined the features, I would suggest the following for a milled part.
1. If possible remachine the feature using the smallest step over and two profile paths in different directions (this should reduce or elininate the scallops).
2. Use scotsh brite (green in color) this will eliminate the tool marks and prevent agressive metal removal.
3. Abrasive blast if you want. This will not give you a high polish, and my experience in PDMS is that it adds a surface energy to the mold which makes demolding tough. I have not used it on silicone I only add the PDMS excerpt as a disclaimer. Unless you absolutely need a high polish I would think the scotch brite finish would do you fine.
4. If the high polish is absolutely necessary, then do yourself a favor and hand polish. Mechanial systems are just too agressive and aluminum is too soft to tolerate polishing screwups.
Shoot me a PM or email if you need more alumium mold polishing info.
Most of the molds that I have built for rubber parts, have had a bead blasted surface. This helps with release of the part, and it hides flow lines and imperfections in the part. ALuminum is very hard to polish correctly because material can be removed very quickly with aggressive techniques. Patients is the key to polishing aluminum. Don't be in a hurry to grab that coarse grit, you may be doing more harm than good.
Try a bag of white rice in your vibe machine.(dry no liquid !!!) low intensity, long time(24 hrs). i use this to polish 6061 t6 . also try bright dip with nickel from any good plater after the rice treatment.

Margarita Sofía de Habsburgo-Lorena o de Austria (en alemán, Margarete Sophie von Österreich; Artstetten, 13 de mayo de 1870 - Gmunden, 24 de agosto de 1902) fue la única hija del archiduque Carlos Luis de Austria y de su segunda esposa, la princesa María Anunciada de Borbón-Dos Sicilias. Era sobrina del emperador Francisco José I de Austria y hermana del archiduque Francisco Fernando de Austria, heredero del trono austríaco.

Primeros años

Fue nombrada por la primera esposa de su padre, la princesa Margarita de Sajonia, y por su abuela paterna, la archiduquesa Sofía. Su madre murió poco antes de su primer cumpleaños por tuberculosis, y su padre pronto se casó por tercera vez en 1873 con la infanta María Teresa de Portugal, que se convertiría en una amorosa madrastra para ella y sus tres hermanos, Francisco Fernando, Otón Francisco, y Fernando Carlos.

Convento de Damas Nobles de Praga
Cuando era joven, Margarita Sofía fue princesa-abadesa de la Institución de Damas Nobles del Castillo de Praga (1886-1893). El convento estaba ubicado en el Palacio de Hradschin, y era una fundación educativa abierta solo a mujeres jóvenes de alta cuna, a quienes se les requería demostrar que sus dieciséis bisabuelos eran de noble cuna. No era inusual que la abadesa fuera elegida entre las archiduquesas de la familia imperial de los Habsburgo, aunque a la abadesa y a todas las alumnas se les permitió abandonar la orden y casarse.

Matrimonio y descendencia
Tras dejar la abadía, se casó el 24 de enero de 1893 con el duque Alberto de Wurtemberg (1865-1939), hijo del duque Felipe de Wurtemberg y de la archiduquesa María Teresa de Austria; sería futuro pretendiente al trono de Wurtemberg. La pareja vivió en el palacio de los herederos al trono (Kronprinzenpalais) en Stuttgart.

Tuvieron siete hijos:

 Felipe Alberto (1893-1975), sucedió a su padre como Jefe de Casa de Wurtemberg. Se casó con la archiduquesa Elena de Austria-Toscana; con descendencia. Al enviudar, se casó con la archiduquesa Rosa de Austria-Toscana, hermana de su primera esposa; con descendencia.
 Alberto Eugenio (1895-1954), se casó en 1924 con la princesa Nadezhda de Bulgaria (hija del rey Fernando I de Bulgaria); con descendencia.
 Carlos Alejandro (1896-1964), duque de Wurtemberg. Renunció a sus derechos de sucesión y se hizo monje. Soltero y sin descendencia.
 María Amelia (1897-1923), estuvo brevemente comprometida con el príncipe heredero Jorge de Sajonia, pero debido a los eventos políticos y la inclinación del príncipe por la vida espiritual, el compromiso se rompió. Soltera y sin descendencia.
 María Teresa (1898-1928), soltera y sin descendencia.
 María Isabel (1899-1900), murió en la infancia.
 Margarita María (1902-1945), soltera y sin descendencia.

Muerte
Margarita Sofía murió a la edad de 32 años en Gmunden, seis meses después de dar a luz a su última hija, posiblemente víctima de cáncer, y fue enterrada en la cripta de la familia Wurtemberg en la capilla del Palacio de Ludwigsburg. El esposo, el duque Alberto, no contrajo otro matrimonio.

Después de que se construyera una cripta en el Castillo de Altshausen en 1927, el ataúd se trasladó allí.

Real-world Counterpart:
Oktyabrskaya (Russian: Октябрьская) is an important location appearing in Metro: Last Light. It's a two-part station: the Koltsevaya Line (Ring) station controlled by Hansa, and the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Line (Radial) station by an independent faction, though they are likely just another Hansa satellite. It's said to be a peaceful station.
Metro: Last Light[]
Attention! Spoiler ahead!
This article contains plot information that may spoil major story aspects for the reader. Read at your own risk, or skip the spoiler by clicking HERE.
Civilians of Oktyabrskaya killed by the Red army for being infected.
Oktyabrskaya is first mentioned by bandits in Venice as the then current location of the Baby Dark One. Pavel confirms this and says he will help Artyom to get there, but the two are interrupted by Simon, and Pavel escapes. Instead of traveling through the Metro to Oktyabrskaya, Artyom is forced to take first the surface route, then the catacombs beneath Sparta Base, to get there.
Upon reaching the Church, Artyom and the Rangers plan to reach Oktyabrskaya and find the Dark One, but they are attacked before they can start their journey. Artyom first reaches the vicinity of Oktyabrskaya-Radial after being washed out of the catacombs beneath the church and into the nearby Metro tunnels. His first contact is observing two Red Line soldiers executing some infected residents of the station. However, if Artyom kills the soldiers before they can finish off the surviving man, the latter will tell Artyom how the Red troops came before people started dying of a mysterious plague.
Making his way through the station, it becomes clear that the whole area is in ruins - Red troops are burning the infected buildings and clearing bodies. It's clear that the virus is very deadly, as there are no living residents left. Even a Red Soldier is executed just for having a tear in his Armor. There is also the possibility of Artyom himself being infected. Artyom finally gets to the end of the station and finds Anna being held captive by Lesnitsky. After saving Anna, the two (with no gas masks) run to Oktyabrskaya-Koltsevaya and are rescued by the guards there, where they are both placed in quarantine for possible infection.
Here, Artyom discovers that the Red Line allowed many infected refugees to run into the Hansa section, then followed them to prevent any signs of an outbreak. However, they were repulsed by the Hansa guards and Rangers. These people are now also in quarantine, with many of them dying and being cremated to stop infection. The Reds did this to try and infect the other part of the station as well, before they would go aid in the clean up effort, therefore occupying the two stations and cutting Hansa in half. Thankfully, this plan failed and the Reds are forced to pull out.
The Hansa doctor's research reveals that the infection is a type of bio-weapon - a deadly strain of Ebola - designed to have maximum lethality (nearly 95%) in the first day, then burn out and go inert, meaning any invading forces will not be infected. Oktyabrskaya was a test of the bio-weapons destructive capabilities, and clearly, it was very successful. The Red's plan was to use this weapon to infect the entire Metro, leaving it clear for them to take over, though there would be no reason that the disease would not mutate or fail to burn out, killing them as well. However, they had run out of samples of the virus, meaning they needed to occupy D6 to obtain more, leading to the Battle for D6.
Oktyabrskaya is not mentioned for the rest of the game, but it's presumably left to rot, given the numerous bodies still lingering there, possible infection, and a large part of the station burned down. These factors may make it more difficult to travel to Venice from that part of Hansa.
Phew! That was close.
While there may be minor spoilers in the sections below, the major spoilers have passed. Click HERE to go back to the beginning of the article.
Oktyabrskaya is mentioned once briefly in Metro 2033 during "Chase" by one of the tunnel guards. It can be heard just before one of the men narrowly avoids being run over by Artyom's trolley.

Catherine Osborne
Architect Kim Herforth Nielsen is founder of Copenhagen's 3XN and a keynote speaker at the recent IIDEX/NeoCon trade show of contract interiors in Toronto. Herforth Nielsen does not come across as the self-promoting type, but his firm is a powerhouse: it has been winning major competitions and building concert halls, high schools and hotels across Europe. Senior editor Catherine Osborne sat down with Nielsen to discuss the evolution of one of Denmark's most dynamic architectural firms.
For the past two decades Copenhagen's 3XN has been climbing steadily to the top of the list of world-class architectural firms. It's been invited to participate in several prestigious competitions, including designing the Mercedes Benz headquarters in Stuttgart; an aviation museum in Shanghai; and a new museum in Liverpool, England.
Karno.in.ua readers might recall reading about Orestad College in our September 2008 issue: a radically new design for a high school in Copenhagen designed by 3XN. The school's dominant feature is an interior drum surrounded by a spiral staircase that ascends three stories to a roof terrace. Though you'd think so much open communal space would attract the noisy chatter of students, the acoustical engineering of the building makes it remarkably quiet.
Founding principal Kim Herforth Nielsen spoke with Karno.in.ua senior editor Catherine Osborne about what's keeping the firm busy these days.
Your firm started out in 1986 as Nielsen, Nielsen & Nielsen. Then it became 3XNielsen, and then 3XN, is that right?
Yes, in fact, I'm the last remaining N.
With an exhibition in Paris. We were invited in 1985 to participate in a show [entitled d´architecture est un jeu magnefique] at the Pompidou Center as one of 30 young architects. We basically started the office based on that exhibition. Afterward, we quit our jobs and entered a competition for a housing project in Denmark. We were quite brave, actually, now that I look back, to just throw ourselves into that competition, but we did, and we won. It was just the three of us—and in 1986 there was a recession, so getting a job was nearly impossible.
Lots has changed since then.
We're working globally now. Last year we won every second competition we entered, and we do about 15 to 16 competitions a year. It's been a great year for us. It was our best year ever. Everyone's talking about crises these days. We've had no crises.
That's impressive.
We've just been invited to a competition in China for a new aviation museum in Shanghai that's 50,000 square metres. It's a big one. We've also been invited to compete for the Mercedes headquarters in Stuttgart. We're getting started on that one on Monday.
Tell me about some of the projects you're working on now.
The Museum of Liverpool is one. It was a speedy process. The museum is on a waterfront promenade and the building takes on the form of a ship, because the area used to be a shipping yard. There are two main views from inside the building: one looks out to the water, which has been the life force for the city. The other looks to the city. There's also a canal that goes underneath the building. My idea was to have a glass floor so you could see the canal from inside, but there was no money for it.
When will it be completed?
It's nearly finished. The interior will be done next year. The museum has about 150,000 items in its collection that are all about Liverpool, from locomotives to the Beatles.
You've worked on a number of projects that are near water.
That's true. We're working on a mixed-use development in Aarhus that's 75,000 square metres and near the water's edge. The project includes a building that will be the tallest in Denmark (147 metres). It's called the Lighthouse, and its ribbon-like structure was inspired by water. The context of the area is water, so the buildings express the forms of waves. We're also working on an aquarium in Copenhagen called Blue Planet.
That's very much about water.
Yes, I've got kids, so I've gone to a lot of aquariums, and it seems to me they never look like what it's all about – water and fish. They look more like factories. Our idea for the aquarium was to get people underwater somehow. So we came up with this whirlpool idea for shaping the building. It took us four weeks to come up with the idea of a whirlpool and two weeks to create the design. It really quite easy to make a design, but first you have to come up with the right idea.
You've got a strong interest in nature and in particular biomimicry. Can you tell me more about that?
We like to think about new ways to be sustainable. For instance, if you make a high-rise you have to think about how to clean those windows. That's not a sustainable thing; it's a practical thing.
But if you combine these two issues, we can achieve something new.
If you look at leaves under a microscope, for instance, water cannot attach itself to the leaf. It drips off. So, if we use this as a model, we can make windows where the water doesn't stick to the window. In effect, it becomes a self-cleaning window. It takes all the dirt with it.
We've done this on a building in Berlin. We wanted to make it a sustainable building and we wanted to figure out how to improve the environment and these particular windows can also help burn the smog in the area and clean the air.
The building's windows clean the air?
Yes, they can clean the air in the area with the same effect as 500 trees.
That's amazing. Will we be seeing any of your work in North America?
I hope so. I've been to Toronto three times in the last year. We'd love to build something on the waterfront.

You're the best! Jennifer Aniston can't keep her hands off rocker John Mayer after gig
Jennifer Aniston earned her place as John Mayer's biggest fan after his performance at the Brixton Academy over the weekend.
The former Friends star kissed and snuggled up to her boyfriend in the back of a cab after cheering him on from the venue's upper level on Friday night.
The following day, she continued to play groupie, watching the musician perform in London's Hyde Park.
Groupie: Jennifer Aniston cosies up to rocker John Mayer after his performance at the Brixton Academy on Friday night
Hands on: Jen dives in for a cuddle
She took in his act from the side of the stage, while busily taking photographs of his show for her own collection.
An onlooker said: 'Jennifer must have taken about 10 photos during Mayer's set, and she would look at each one afterwards.'
'She was definitely into the music. Her foot was tapping and her body was swaying.'
Happy snap: Jennifer photographs boyfriend John Mayer from the side of the stage in Hyde Park on Saturday

Sheryl Crow, a close friend of Jennifer, also performed at the concert.
Of her Hollywood friend's budding romance, Crow said:'If she's happy, then I'm happy!'
Jennifer has been in the UK for the last week after she flew in to meet John as part of his UK tour, but has since returned to the US.
This one's for you Jen: John performs on the main stage at Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park
The couple, who have been dating for three months, have attempted to keep out of the spotlight but it now appears their relationship is becoming more serious.
At the beginning of the month, he was introduced to Jen's best pal Courtney Cox and husband David Arquette.
Mayer, 30, has dated a string of Hollywood stars - including Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jessica Simpson - while Aniston, who was married to Brad Pitt for four and a half years, has been single since splitting from Vince Vaughn in December 2006.
Sheryl Crow - a good friend of Jennifer's - also performed

The Costa Concordia was launched on September 2, 2005, with a mishap that back then didn't mean anything: the champagne bottle thrown against its hull didn't break. But on January 13, at 10 pm local time, the mega cruise ship—owned and operated by a subsidiary of the world's largest cruise ship operator, Carnival Corp—hit a reef near the small island of Giglio, off the Tuscan coast.
On board were 3,200 passengers and 1,000 crew. But Captain Francesco Schettino told the coast guard 30 minutes later that the ship only had a "blackout problem," according to recorded conversations that aired today on the Italian news channel, Sky TG24. It wasn't until an hour after the ship had hit the reef that he finally gave evacuation orders. By that time, the ship, which had been taking on water, was listing heavily.
So far, 11 bodies have been found and 23 people are still missing. The chaos aboard was catastrophic, according to French passengers who were interviewed on the French TV channel, France 2. Apparently, the captain-less crew was ill-trained to deal with the emergency, and one complication after another arose.
The ship is resting in an unstable position on its side and could slip off the reef and sink into a 250 ft. deep trough. Rescue operations continue as there is hope that some of the missing passengers might be inside an air bubble. Salvage efforts have begun.
And now an environmental catastrophe might have to be added to the toll. The approaching storm might push the ship off the reef into the trough. Fuel tanks could rupture, and the fuel could devastate the Santuario dei Cetacei, Europe's largest marine sanctuary. The Italian government plans to declare a state of emergency later today.
Captain Schettino, who'd been crucified in the Italian media, is still under house arrest. He is accused of having caused the shipwreck and having abandoned ship, a crime in Italy. And the ship itself? Depending on the damage it suffered, it may be a total loss.

Q: Equivalence of pretopological continuity to customary continuity (a direct proof) Can you provide a direct (not based on the neighborhood definition of pretopologies) proof for pretopological spaces (expressed as closure operators) that a function $f$ from a topological space $\mu$ to a topological space $\nu$ is continuous (in the customary topology sense) that is preimage of every open set is open if and only if it is continuous in the pretopology sense that is when $f[\operatorname{cl}_{\mu}A] \subseteq\operatorname{cl}_{\nu} f[A]$ for every subset $A$ of space $\mu$?

A: Given topological spaces $X,Y$ and a function $f: X \to Y$, I'll show that the two forms of continuity are equivalent. Note that I'll be using the overline $\overline{\phantom{A}}$ to denote the closure operator in both topological spaces.

*

*Assume that $f : X \to Y$ is continuous "in the customary topological sense".  Given $A \subseteq X$, note that $\overline{f[A]}$ is closed in $Y$, so $Y \setminus \overline{f[A]}$ is open in $Y$, and therefore $f^{-1} [ Y \setminus \overline{f[A]}] = X \setminus f^{-1} [ \overline{ f[A] } ]$ is open in $X$. It follows that $f^{-1} [ \overline{ f[A] } ]$ is closed in $X$. Note, too, that $$A \subseteq f^{-1} [ f [ A ] ] \subseteq f^{-1} [ \overline{ f[A] } ],$$ and so it follows that $$\overline{A} \subseteq f^{-1} [ \overline{ f[A] } ].$$ We now have that $$f [ \overline{A} ] \subseteq f [ f^{-1} [ \overline{ f[A] } ] ] \subseteq \overline{f[A]},$$ as desired.

*Assume that $f : X \to Y$ is continuous "in the pretopological sense". Given an open $V \subseteq Y$, we want to show that $f^{-1} [ V ]$ is open, or, equivalently that $X \setminus f^{-1} [ V ] = f^{-1} [ Y \setminus V ]$ is closed. That is, we want to show that $\overline{ f^{-1} [ Y \setminus V ] } = f^{-1} [ Y \setminus V ]$. By properties of closure, we already know that $f^{-1} [ Y \setminus V ] \subseteq \overline{ f^{-1} [ Y \setminus V ] }$, and so we need only show the reverse inclusion.
By pretopological continuity, $f[ \overline{ f^{-1} [ Y \setminus V ] } ] \subseteq \overline{ f[ f^{-1} [ Y \setminus V ] ] } \subseteq \overline{ Y \setminus V} = Y \setminus V$ (recall that $Y \setminus V$ is closed). Therefore $$f^{-1} [ Y \setminus V ] \supseteq f^{-1} [ f [ \overline{ f^{-1} [ Y \setminus V ] } ] ] \supseteq \overline{ f^{-1} [ Y \setminus V ] },$$ as desired.
(Note that in the above I am making use of such facts as $f^{-1} [ f [ A ] ] \supseteq A$ and $f [ f^{-1} [ B ] ] \subseteq B$.)
