  • Bethenny Frankel is seen here in a series of photos taken during her aid mission to Puerto Rico, which was ravaged by Hurricane Maria almost two weeks ago. The Real Housewives Of New York personality, who recently underwent surgery to remove skin cancer below her eye, has headed up a huge relief effort and chartered 10 planes to bring vital supplies to the island’s stricken inhabitants. Frankel, 46, and her friends personally paid for the planes - the first four of which she managed to negotiate a fee of just under $20,000. As well as bringing medical and food supplies, Frankel alongside The Global Empowerment Mission flew back dozens of wounded women and children and cancer victims from local hospitals so they could get treatment in the United States. The Skinnygirl founder has used the power of social media to help network and find doctors back in the U.S. who could help. She explained: “Twitter users literally saved babies lives by connecting me to a pediatric hospital allowing me to transport patients home [to the U.S.]. It is the most incredible tool in the world.” Talking of the devastation she’s witnessed on the U.S. territory island, Frankel said: “This is a forgotten island. People have been living on their roofs for 13 days. It is like nothing I have ever seen. Peoples entire homes and cars are immersed in mud the likes I've never seen.” The current death toll stands at 34, but is expected to rise as the humanitarian crisis continues. With an island-wide power outage and widespread lack of fuel, fears continue for residents on the island who need hospital treatment and regular care. Frankel went on: “There is no color on the island. Every palm tree is rooted. This bitch hit every inch of this island. The low death toll is only counting what happened when it hit, but a storm happens more gradually than a hurricane. “Now is when people are dying. They are starving. They are thirsty. They cannot communicate. They cannot bathe themselves. They

  • Bethenny Frankel is seen here in a series of photos taken during her aid mission to Puerto Rico, which was ravaged by Hurricane Maria almost two weeks ago.

Frankel, 46, and her friends personally paid for the planes - the first four of which she managed to negotiate a fee of just under $20,000.

  • June 6, 2017 - Suisse - A new blade from the makers of the Swiss Army Knife is a cut above its rivals – having been made from recycled Nespresso coffee pod capsules.The Pioneer pocket knife by Victorinox has scales on its brown casing made from 24 recycled pods.Although convenient to use, coffee pods like those offered by Nespresso have a huge environmental footprint.Billions end up in landfills each year where they can take anywhere from 150 to 500 years to break down. But Nespresso, which has other recycling schemes around the world, has joined with Victorinox to create a limited-edition knife for 2017 that uses melted down and recast aluminium capsules as the scales on its handle;.The knife’s tools include a blade, can opener, two screwdrivers , bottle opening, wine stripper and a hole punch.It is available from the company’s online store or a few selected stores for around €43 Euros / $48 USD / £37 GBPA Victorinox spokesman said:” Sustainability is an important part of corporate culture at Victorinox as well as at Nespresso. “Both firms have long committed themselves to acting responsibly and so it seemed a natural progression to team up to create a knife which turns recycled Nespresso capsules into a functional tool for your everyday adventures.“Used Nespresso capsules must be melted down and then cast. “We wanted to be absolutely certain that the molten material could stand up to our stringent high quality standards, so we carried out numerous tests in our development laboratory, ensuring that the new material would be stable, durable and fitting all design requirements.“We are proud to say that all of our efforts were fruitful, with both partners delighted with the quality and success of the Pioneer Nespresso knife. “We’re very happy to be writing a bit of Swiss recycling history, together with Nespresso.” # UN COUTEAU SUISSE FAIT AVEC DES CAPSULES NESPRESSO RECYLCEES (Credit Image

'Helmfon' is equipped with Bluetooth , a system board, microphone, speakers, magnifier and special inside pocket for smartphone. It can be used to watch movies and videos, organize Skype conferences, answer or make calls, watch or edit photos or add some personal functions. But the sound-excluding material means that workmates sitting nearby won't hear anything. Helmfon was designed and developed by Ukrainian design company Hochu Rayu, whose main idea was to create a tool, that helps anyone fully concentrate on work, gives them personal space and doesn't allow office noise kill his or her productiveness.

  • View Image Comparison<br />
View Both Images<br />
For nearly 15 years, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensors on NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites have scanned Earth's surface daily for fires. When the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on Suomi NPP began operating in 2012, the view got a whole lot clearer.<br />
While MODIS and VIIRS have similar orbits, the spatial resolution of the "thermal bands" on each sensor differs. The MODIS thermal band detects hot spots with a resolution of 1,000 meters per pixel; VIIRS detects hot spots at a resolution of 375 meters per pixel. In other words, VIIRS makes fire observations that are about three times more detailed than MODIS. As a result, VIIRS can detect many small and low-temperature fires that MODIS misses.<br />
The images above illustrate the difference in the fire detection capabilities of the sensors. Both images show agricultural fires burning in northeast China around the same time on November 6, 2015. MODIS captured the upper image while the lower image was acquired by VIIRS. Turn on the image comparison tool to see the differences. Though VIIRS has more detailed fire observations, the background of the MODIS image seems crisper. This is because MODIS has better resolution than VIIRS when looking at land surfaces that are not on fire. (250 meters per pixel for MODIS versus 375 meters per pixel for VIIRS).<br />
The improved resolution of the VIIRS fire observations means scientists - as well as firefighters - have a more capable tool for monitoring fire activity. As explained in the video below, the improved resolution means experts should be able to use data collected by VIIRS to more accurately model and predict shifts in a fire's direction or behavior.<br />
"We hope that by infusing the higher-resolution fire detection data and fire behavior modeling outputs into tactical fire situations, we can lessen the pressure on those working in wildfire management," said Wilfrid Schroeder, a scientist at the Universi

  • January 2, 2018 - inconnu - Car giant Ford is to provide assembly line workers with powered exoskeletons to make their work easier.The EksoVest will provide the user with between 2.26 kilos and 6.8 kilos / 5lbs and15lbs of lift assistance, ideal for any action required under the vehicle. Some of these activities might include pushing in fastener rivets, snapping fuel lines into place or simply using any drill or impact drivers or torque wrenches.The vests , made of carbon fibre and steel tubing, are being supplied by US company Ekso Bionics in a pioneering partnership with Ford.A spokesman for Ekso Bionics said:” The physical demands of repetitive overhead work takes its toll on workers. “Some workers on the assembly line lift their arms an average of 4,600 times per day, or about 1 million times per year, increasing the possibility of fatigue or injury.“That’s where the EksoVest comes in. “Ford and Ekso Bionics partnered to explore how the upper body exoskeleton that elevates and supports a worker’s arms can help.By reducing the strain on a worker’s body, they feel better at the end of every day, the likelihood of sustaining injury is reduced.Jobs get completed to a higher level of quality, in a shorter amount of time, increasing both productivity and morale.Ford tested the EksoVest in two U.S. plants. As a result, use of the EksoVest will be expanded to plants in other regions, including Europe and South America.Ekso Bionics is headquartered in a former ford factory in California which opened in 1931 and was the largest auto assembly plant on the West Coast. Ekso Bionics co-founder Russ Angold said:” Collaboratively working with Ford enabled us to test and refine early prototypes of the EksoVest based on insights directly from their production line workers. “The end result is a wearable tool that reduces the strain on a worker’s body, reducing the likelihood of injury, and helping them feel better at

  • September 6, 2017 - Mars Surface - The combination of morphological and topographic information from stereo images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, as well as compositional data from near-infrared spectroscopy has been proven to be a powerful tool for understanding the geology of Mars. This image was targeted on a location where the CRISM instrument detected a specific mineral called alunite, KAl3(SO4)2(OH)6. Alunite is a hydrated aluminum potassium sulfate, a mineral that is notable because it must have been deposited in a wet acidic environment, rich in sulfuric acid. Our image shows that the deposit is bright and colorful, and extensively fractured. The width of the cutout is 1.2 kilometers. (Credit Image: © NASA/ZUMA Wire)

Two years ago, a new island, or "nijima," rose above the water line in the western Pacific, about 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) south of Tokyo. It grew out of the sea just 500 meters from Nishinoshima, another volcanic island. Over the past two years, that new island swallowed up its neighbor, and the merged island is now twelve times the size of the old island.<br />
The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 captured these images of the old and new Nishinoshima. The top image shows the area on November 6, 2013, two weeks before the eruption started. The second image was acquired on October 11, 2015, the most recent cloud-free view. In both images, pale areas just offshore likely reveal volcanic gases bubbling up from submerged vents or sediments disturbed by the eruption. Turn on the image comparison tool to see the transformation.<br />
Nishinoshima is part of the Ogasawara Islands, in the Volcano Islands arc. It is located at 27°14' North latitude and 140°52' East longitude, about 130 kilometers (80 miles) from the nearest inhabited island. According to the Japanese coast guard, which surveyed the island on November 17, the island now stretches 1.9 kilometers from east to west and 1.95 kilometers from north to south. It stands about 100 meters above the sea surface.<br />
Lava continues to ooze out slowly, though there are occasional explosions of rock and ash as well. Investigators noted that the total surface area of the island decreased a bit from September to November 2015 - 2.67 square kilometers to 2.64 - likely because of erosion of the coasts by wave action.<br />

In summer 2015, wildfires raged across the western United States and Alaska. Many of those fires burned in the U.S. Northwest, visible in these images from late August.<br />
The top image was acquired in the early morning local time on August 19 by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensor on the Suomi NPP satellite. The image was made possible by the instrument's "day-night band," which uses filtering techniques to observe dim signals including those from wildfires. Labels point to the large, actively burning fires in the region.<br />
The bottom image shows the same area in natural-color, acquired in the afternoon of August 18 with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite. Red outlines indicate hot spots where the sensor detected unusually warm surface temperatures generally associated with fires. Thick plumes of smoke are visible emanating from the hot spots. Use the image comparison tool to see the how the view at nighttime differs from that during daylight hours.<br />
According to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center, the Okanogan Complex Fire in Washington was among the larger active fires; as of August 20, the fire had burned 91,314 acres (370 square kilometers, or 143 square miles). In Oregon, the Canyon Creek Complex Fire had burned 48,201 acres (195 square kilometers, or 75 square miles), destroyed 26 residences and threatened another 500. Both fires were less than 40 percent contained. Meanwhile, firefighters have made progress on the large, damaging Cornet-Windy Ridge Fire in Oregon, which as of August 20 was 70 percent contained; smoke from this fire is more visible in<br />
earlier images.<br />
According to a story in The New York Times, fire managers have struggled to find enough crews to battle the fires burning across the Northwest and Northern California.<br />

Fog is common in winter in northwestern North America. Moist Pacific air rides up into the Cascade Mountains, the Coast Range, and the Columbia Plateau, then cools at altitude or at night and sinks into the surrounding valleys. As that air gives up its heat to the upper atmosphere, the layer near the surface becomes saturated (reaching the dew point) and essentially forms clouds at ground level. Often a temperature inversion - warm air, higher in the atmosphere, moving over the cooler denser air near the surface - will trap this moisture in the valleys for days.<br />
Such fog would have been easy to see in late November 2015 if you were standing in any of those valleys. And it would not have been hard to distinguish fog from snow if you were standing in it. But the line between snow and fog might have been tougher to spot if you were looking across one of those valley at the fresh snow on the mountains. It can be hard for satellite eyes, too, when viewing things as the human eye sees them.<br />
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite acquired these images of Oregon and Washington at 11:20 a.m. Pacific Standard Time (19:20 Universal Time) on November 29, 2015. The top image shows the region in natural color, as the human eye would see it. Note how snow and clouds can be difficult to distinguish from each other. The second, false-color image was composed from blue and shortwave infrared light (MODIS bands 3-6-7, or 479 nm: 1,652 nm: 2,155 nm). Scientists turn to these wavelengths to reveal what the human eye cannot. Turn on the image comparison tool to see the difference.<br />
Fog is liquid water, while snow is ice; fog droplets are much smaller than ice crystals. Those distinctions are visible from space with the MODIS radiometer. In natural color, condensed water - liquid or solid - does not absorb light, so it reflects equally at all wavelengths and appears white, explained Robert Pincus, an atmosp

On November 5, 2015, two dams collapsed in southeastern Brazil, sending a torrent of mining sludge through the village of Bento Rodrigues. The muddy floodwaters from an iron ore mining operation destroyed hundreds of homes, killed some residents, and left others missing.<br />
The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 captured these natural-color views of the village and the surrounding region. The top image shows the area on October 11, 2015; the second image shows the area on November 12, after the catastrophe. Turn on the image comparison tool to see areas where mud and sludge was still visible a week after the dams broke.<br />
The Wall Street Journal reported that 60 million cubic meters of wastewater were unleashed, with most of it affecting Bento Rodrigues. The village is located close to the breach, and sits in a river valley just below one of the dams.<br />
The effects of the flooding were felt far beyond Bento Rodrigues. The image shows multiple rivers, far from the village, that remained swollen with wastewater and mud. East of this image, in Barra Longa - a village about 80 kilometers (50 miles) from the dams - the river surged as much as 15 meters and flooded homes,<br />
according to Reuters. As health officials conducted tests, cities as far as 300 kilometers (200 miles) downstream lost access to drinking water.<br />
As of November 12, 2015, rescuers had recovered the bodies of nine people, according to ABC News; 19 people were still missing.<br />

Even for a nation known for eye-popping rates of urbanization, what has happened along China's Pearl River Delta (Zhu San Jiao)<br />
over the past few decades is extraordinary.<br />
In 1988, an interlacing network of rivers and streams flowed through fertile alluvial soils full of rice paddies, wheat fields, mulberry orchards, and fish ponds. At that time, the region was mostly rural, with a population of roughly 10 million people scattered between several medium-sized cities, including Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan, and Dongguan. Nearly three decades later, these cities have grown so rapidly that they have merged into an interconnected megalopolis with a population (42 million) greater than that of Australia, Argentina, or Canada.<br />
The satellite images above illustrate the dramatic growth. The bottom image was acquired by the Thematic Mapper on Landsat 5 on November 24, 1988; the top image was acquired by the Operational Land Imager on Landsat 8 on November 16, 2014. Rural areas - mainly farmland and forest - appear green. Urban areas are gray and white. Turn on the comparison tool to slide between the two images, and download the large images to observe the changes on a much finer scale.<br />
If taken as one entity, the Pearl River Delta region has overtaken Tokyo as the world's largest urban area - by size and population - according to an analysis of satellite and demographic data published by the World Bank. Between 2000 and 2010, the Pearl River Delta's urban spaces - defined as areas where the built environment covered more than 50 percent of the landscape in a given pixel - had expanded from 4,500 square kilometers to 7,000 square kilometers. (In 2010, Tokyo had a population of about 32 million people and covered about 5,600 square kilometers.) In the study, researchers used satellite data collected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and land cover data from the Landsat program. They also used demographic data pr

Zachariæ Isstrøm has become the latest Greenland glacier to undergo rapid changes in a warming world. Research published November 2015 in Science found that Zachariæ Isstrøm broke loose from a stable position in 2012 and entered a phase of accelerated retreat.<br />
The consequences will be felt for decades to come. The reason? Zachariæ Isstrøm is big. It drains ice from a 91,780 square kilometer (35,440 square mile) area of northeast Greenland. That's about 5 percent of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The glacier holds enough water to raise global sea level by more than 46 centimeters (18 inches) if it were to melt completely. It is already shedding billions of tons of ice into the far North Atlantic each year.<br />
"North Greenland glaciers are changing rapidly," said lead author Jeremie Mouginot of the University of California, Irvine (UCI). "The shape and dynamics of Zachariæ Isstrøm have changed dramatically over the last few years. The glacier is now breaking up and calving high volumes of icebergs into the ocean, which will result in rising sea levels for decades to come."<br />
The change is apparent in the images above. The top image was acquired by the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) on Landsat 7 on August 5, 1999, when the glacier was stable. The second image was acquired on August 2, 2015, with the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8. The second image shows how the ice shelf and glacier have melted and retreated substantially. Turn on the image comparison tool to see the difference.<br />
As of 2015, the glacier is losing 5 billion tons of ice every year. The time-lapse animation above shows the glacier's retreat during the 2015 melt season. The animation is composed of 26 natural-color images acquired by Landsat 8 from May 19 through October 1, 2015.<br />
To better understand the changes taking place at Zachariæ Isstrøm, Mouginot and his colleagues from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and the University of Kansas compil

If you want to get from Macau or Zhuhai to Hong Kong, you either have to take a boat or drive at least four hours (200 kilometers) across southeastern China. An ambitious engineering project intends to shorten that drive time to 40 minutes.<br />
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau (HKZM) Bridge has been dreamed about for at least 30 years and under construction for seven years so far. There are at least three or more years to go before cars and trucks will be able to pass between the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on the eastern shores of the Pearl River estuary to Zhuhai City (Guandong Province) and the Macau Special Administrative District on the western side. The bridge will add a new transportation link in one of the fastest-growing and largest urban areas in the world. More than 50 million people live around the Delta.<br />
The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on the Landsat 8 satellite acquired two natural-color images of the bridge-tunnel construction project. The top image was acquired on November 29, 2013, while the lower image was acquired on March 27, 2016. The different shades of blue and green in the water are likely due to different sediment loads in different seasons and tides. Turn on the image comparison tool to see the detailed progress on the bridge.<br />
The HKZM connector will include roughly 42 kilometers (26 miles) of bridges over water, with another 7 kilometers (4 miles) passing through a submarine tunnel. The estimated $132 billion (Hong Kong) project will include three cable-stayed bridges and long stretches of causeways; the longest bridge section will be 29.6 kilometers (18.4 miles) long. Three lanes of traffic will move in each direction, roughly east-west across the water. Once completed, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge will be one of the longest water crossings in the world, equivalent to about 15 Golden Gate Bridges.<br />
The tunnel section is being created to allow passage of large ships through the estuary. The co

In the 1980s, the landscape around Al<br />
Ain - a small city in the United Arab Emirates - was dominated by the colors of the Arabian desert: tan, orange, and brown. Three decades later, green is the color that is difficult to ignore.<br />
The Thematic Mapper on Landsat 5 acquired the top image on April 29, 1984. The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 acquired the lower image on July 24, 2015. Turn on the image comparison tool to slide between the two images.<br />
In 1984, green areas were mostly limited to the large oasis in the historic center of the city. By 2015, several new parks, farms, nature preserves, and palace gardens had emerged, particularly to the south and west of the city. As noted in one recent study, the city now contains 12 million square meters of green space - an average of 32 square meters (344 square feet) per resident, more than any other city in the Arab world. The population has expanded rapidly as well, rising from about 50,000 people in 1975 to more than 630,000 in 2012. The expansion of urban areas - gray in the images - has primarily proceeded westward from the city center due to an abundance of open space and the presence of transportation, water, and power infrastructure.<br />
Green Mubazzarah is one of the most noticeable new green spaces. Located south of the city, at the base of a 1,200-meter mountain called Jebel Hafeet, the park is irrigated by underwater springs. Several other sprawling expanses of green have grown up along the outskirts of the city, including the Al Rawdha and Al Maqam palaces and several farms. One of the largest farms in the city, operated by Al Foah, produces dates on 1,320 hectares.<br />
Although Al Ain's climate is quite arid, the presence of a large oasis along the eastern edge of the city has made greening the city possible. While most cities in the United Arab Emirates have seen water tables fall significantly as consumption increases, groundwater levels have instead risen in some

What do you think it took to create these beautiful images of Amy Winehouse, Mother Teresa, Princess Diana and Rihanna? An expensive camera, a precision lens, hours of trial and error from a skilled photographer?.Well, the answer is none of the above..All of these extraordinarily detailed pictures are pencil drawings, created purely by hand Ñ with no digital trickery Ñ by British artist Kelvin Okafor, whose only tools are a set of pencils, a piece of paper and the occasional stick of charcoal (though most of the pictures donÕt even require that). Yet no matter how closely one looks, thereÕs not a pencil line in sight..The artistÕs story is almost as sensational as the pictures he has been producing since he was a teenager who was too poor to leave his house to socialise. Instead of drinking and clubbing, Ofakor, now 27, stayed at home in Tottenham, North London, seeking solace in drawing. Now it looks as if heÕs on his way to fame and fortune..Today, an exhibition of his work opens at LondonÕs Science Museum Ñ and already some of his portraits are changing hands for £10,000 apiece. This week, a portrait he drew of King Hussein of Jordan is to be presented to the late monarchÕs widow, Queen Noor..Anyone can commission a portrait, though he will charge anything from £800 to £3,000 for his work. He says he prefers to work from photographs rather than real life Ñ partly because of the length of time he spends on each picture..So how does Okafor create these incredible works of art? ÔBefore I start drawing, I spend a few hours Ñ even a few days Ñ analysing the face from every angle. I usually start with the eyes.

  • Oct 30, 2008 - Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand - The Sign of the Takahe above Christchurch in the Port Hills suburb of Cashmere is an historic building of national importance. One of a series of rest houses created by conservationist politician Harry Ell built to preserve the natural state of the Port Hills, it was designed with the concept of combining English manors, castles and inns using stone quarried locally, laboriously hand shaped using relatively primitive tools. It is now home to the Signature Restaurant with a strong focus on New Zealand cuisine sourcing local produce. (Credit Image: © Arnold Drapkin/ZUMA Press)

  • March 29, 2019 - Diyarbakir, Turkey - On March 22, 2019, an ironsmith shapes hot metal farming tools in the artisanal streets of the historic Sur district of Diyarbakir, a Kurdish-majority city in the southeast of Turkey. Roughly half of Sur's residential and commercial areas were destroyed during and after state military operations against Kurdish militants in 2015 and 2016, following the collapse of peace talks. In the spring of 2019, many of Sur's war-ravaged areas were being rebuilt by private construction companies with close ties to the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) (Credit Image: © Diego Cupolo/NurPhoto via ZUMA Press)
