  • *PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE* Prince Harry, wife Meghan and baby Archie leave the South of France after a three-day family holiday at Sir Elton John’s stunning Pounds 15 million summer ‘palace.’ The Royal couple have come under heavy criticism and been accused of hypocrisy for using private jets three times in the space of eights days for jaunts around Europe while purporting to be ‘eco warriors.’ The flights are estimated to have emitted at least six times more carbon dioxide per person than a scheduled flight. After jetting into Nice Airport on Wednesday, the Duke and Duchess and baby Archie were whisked off in a Mercedes limousine, with police protection, to Sir Elton’s stunning French Riviera villa, Castel Mont-Alban. Considered a summer home by the Rocket Man singer, the sunbeam-yellow hilltop villa boasts commanding views of the Mediterranean from the overlooking tower room. It is high above Nice, with views across the bay and to the Alps and has been used by celebrity pals of Sir Elton, including David and Victoria Beckham. It was originally built in the 1920s as an artists colony. With the help of a team of designers, Elton redesigned the interior to be beautifully and extravagantly decorated in his own flamboyant style, complete with Andy Warhol originals adoring the walls. The villa is so huge it can be seen from across the entire bay. Just three days later, early on Saturday (Aug 17) afternoon, the Royal couple again left Nice Airport on the same private plane, and are believed to have flown back to the UK. Meghan wore a crisp white shirt and matching white trousers as she boarded the 12-seater Cessna aircraft carefully clutching three-month-old Archie Mountbatten-Windsor closely to her chest. Harry, wearing a white polo, jeans, and brown chukka boots, climbed the steps a few moments later, before the plane left for its likely return journey to Farnborough airfield in Hampshire. It was the third time in just over a week that Harry has used a private jet

  • EXCLUSIVE: A company that makes underground nuclear shelters has now developed a fire bunker in the wake of the devastating California wildfires. California-based Atlas Survival Shelters is offering a range of subterranean airtight shelters that keep out killer carbon monoxide and can withstand temperatures of up to 1600F (870C). The GarNado shelter — which can protect from fire as well as nuclear fallout, earthquakes and tornadoes — starts at $20,000 for a two-person size and goes up to $50,000 for a 25-person model. Bunkers can be installed under the concrete foundations of a home when newly constructed, or sunk into the backyard for existing houses. The Montebello-based company also offers a smaller FireNado shelter, which is designed specifically to store possessions people want to protect in the event of a fire, with prices starting at $7,000. Owner Ron Hubbard said the shelters can buy occupants valuable time in a wildfire scenario and are fitted with either two or three hour fire-rated hatches and an air-tight door, providing enough natural clean air inside for the occupants for that period of time. He urged: ‘If you live in an area threatened by wildfires and want to have a chance of surviving then do something about it. ‘People need to be prepared and we also want to start a new way of thinking when it comes building and rebuilding houses in areas prone to wildfire.’ The Northern California Camp Fire, which began in Butte County earlier this month has so far claimed the lives of 77 people, with 1,000 people still unaccounted for, making it the deadliest wildfire in California history. It is currently 66 per cent contained. Meanwhile the Southern California Woolsey Fire has left three dead and is now 94 per cent contained. All the shelters available are customizable and interiors can be fitted to various specs, including high-end luxury bunkers that come compete with sofas, double beds and kitchens. 20 Nov 2018 Pictured: Atlas Survival Shelters in

It is currently 66 per cent contained. Meanwhile the Southern California Woolsey Fire has left three dead and is now 94 per cent contained. All the shelters available are customizable and interiors can be fitted to various specs, including high-end luxury bunkers that come compete with sofas, double beds and kitchens. 20 Nov 2018 Pictured: Atlas Survival Shelters in

  • EXCLUSIVE: A company that makes underground nuclear shelters has now developed a fire bunker in the wake of the devastating California wildfires. California-based Atlas Survival Shelters is offering a range of subterranean airtight shelters that keep out killer carbon monoxide and can withstand temperatures of up to 1600F (870C). The GarNado shelter — which can protect from fire as well as nuclear fallout, earthquakes and tornadoes — starts at $20,000 for a two-person size and goes up to $50,000 for a 25-person model. Bunkers can be installed under the concrete foundations of a home when newly constructed, or sunk into the backyard for existing houses. The Montebello-based company also offers a smaller FireNado shelter, which is designed specifically to store possessions people want to protect in the event of a fire, with prices starting at $7,000.

  • A company has created a 24ct gold bike wheel that costs £10,000.<br />
<br />
Renowned for its high-performance carbon monocoque bicycle wheels, Swiss brand SPENGLE states the wheel is its most daring project yet. <br />
<br />
SPENGLE Gold is a bicycle wheel built with 24ct gold leaf hand laid over the brand’s cutting-edge carbon monocoque, a construction method also used in F1 racing for superior safety and performance record.<br />
<br />
Landing today (25Feb20), each SPENGLE Gold will be unique to the rider, built to order, and hand delivered and fitted by SPENGLE.<br />
<br />
Each wheelset is the result of over 3 months of meticulous and painstaking artistry. Priced at £10,000, they are the world’s most expensive cycling wheels, and available to buy now exclusively at www.spengle.com/collections.<br />
<br />
“The bicycle wheel represents a unique visual canvas – kinetic art in its most pure form. Art and sport are both deep passion points and with SPENGLE Gold we saw an opportunity to blend these two worlds’ together.' explains Pius Brauchart, CEO at SPENGLE.<br />
<br />
"There’s something very compelling in mixing the traditional craftmanship of hand-laid gold leaf with cutting edge materials science, and it has resulted in a visually stunning wheel which will compete at the highest of performance levels and then some.'<br />
<br />
“All of our wheels are created and constructed at our custom facility at the base of the Tatra mountain range in Slovakia, going through a 30-stage process of structural and performance testing before making it onto the road or trail.'<br />
<br />
Whilst we constantly look to create a product which has a striking aesthetic, pushing the boundaries of performance is of paramount importance and never has this been truer than with the SPENGLE Gold.”<br />
<br />
SPENGLE has a long history of carbon monocoque design and build, starting as pioneers in carbon construction in the late 1980s at the birth of the MTB scene.<br />

Their recent products have redefined the standards in performance cycling; combining cutting-edge desig

  • April 30, 2019 - California, U.S. - The Orbiting Carbon Observatory 3, or OCO-3, sits on the large vibration table (known as the 'shaker') in the Environmental Test Lab at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The exposed wires lead to sensors used during dynamics and thermal-vacuum testing. Thermal blankets will be added to the instrument at Kennedy Space Center, where a Space-X Dragon capsule carrying OCO-3 is slated to launch it to the International Space Station to observe near-global measurements of carbon dioxide on land and sea, from just after sunrise to just before sunset. That makes it far more versatile and powerful than its predecessor. (Credit Image: ? JPL-Caltech/NASA via ZUMA Wire/ZUMAPRESS.com)

In the north part of the country, the Alto Minho Wind Farm in the Viana do Castelo district, of Portugal, became fully operational in November 2008. At the time of completion, it was Europe's largest on-shore wind farm. The wind farm consists of 68 Enercon E-82 2MW wind turbines and 52 Enercon E-70 E4 2MW turbines, for a grand total of 240 MW. The wind farm produces 530 GWh annually, avoiding 370,000 tonnes (410,000 tons) of carbon dioxide emissions. On March 2018, Portugal generated more renewable energy than it needed for the first time in at least 40 years. Energy from renewable sources made up 103.6 per cent of mainland electricity consumption, according to data from the country’s power grid operator REN, although fossil fuels were used to occasionally top up the electricity supply.

  • August 8, 2017 - inconnu - Upturned roofs which collect rain could help with water supplies in arid Third World countries and remote communities.The roofs are able to capture and preserve rainfall , however small, instead of letting it run away.It is designed to help rain-drops merge into larger globules making it harder for it to be evaporate under scorching sunshine.A team from Iranian architecture company BMDeign Studios worked on the design for environments with precipitation of less than one third of the rest of the world and evaporation more than three times the average.The concave roof looks like a bowl with very steep slopes. It sits on a base which is dome-shaped.The bowl provides additional shade for the domed area while letting the air move freely to cool both the bowl and roof base off. The studio believes that a roof like this will help make even the smallest quantities of rain to flow off the roof and eventually coalesce into bigger drops just right for harvesting before they evaporate. It calculated that rainfall of just 5mm on a concave roof area of 923 square metres would collect 28.75 cubic metres of waterThe firm created the idea for a school design competition on Iran where 65 percent of the country has an arid or hyper arid climate.It calculated the unique design should be able to collect around 60 percent of rainwater in dry-lands on the Iranian plateau where the school is located.Rainwater reservoirs are placed inside the walls of the buildings.This would also help with cooling the classrooms saving on the carbon footprint.Date palms provide shade for the concave roof.A spokesman said that while the water needed for the school exceeded the amount of rainwater harvested, the key point was maximizing the efficiency of the system. The spokesman added:” Results from further research, hopefully will help lead to new designs for the roofs in arid climates capable of harvesting rain.”.OPS: The stunning concave roof design , in this case c

  • July 25, 2017 - inconnu - The US has 3D printed a submarine designed to carry elite Navy Seal commandos and their equipment on covert missions.The 30-foot structure is made from a carbon fibre composite, and consists of six main pieces. The entire process, from concept to assembly, took less than four weeks.It was developed by the Departments of Energy and Defense with support from academia and industry.The USA’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory partnered the Navy’s Disruptive Technology Lab to develop the military’s first 3D printed submarine hull. The demonstrator , known officially as a Seal Delivery Vehicle, was 3D printed on the laboratory’s Big Area Additive Manufacturing 3D printer over the course of a few days.The Oak Ridge and the Navy say fleet-capable prototypes could be introduced and put in the water as early as 2019.Exact details of how the 3D submarine was built must remain secret.But the navy and Oak Ridge team say they will use the experience gained to develop further 3D printed technologies of a similar nature.An average Seal submersible hull costs between $600,000 and $800,000 USD and currently take around three to five months to manufactureBy developing 3D print, the cost of such submarines could be cut by up to 90 percent. The 3D printed hull, was inspired by traditional mini-subs used by Seals but is unlike anything that has plumbed the depths before. The entire process—from concept to assembly—took less than four weeks.The US Navy now believes it is in a great position to take advantage of “on-demand” production of aquatic vehicles.The current 3D printed demonstrator hasn’t been built for water testing but a future printed hull will be put through its paces in the deep at an elite testing facility in the Navy’s Carderock facility in Maryland.The 3D printed submarine is now officially the Navy’s largest 3D printed asset.Other 3D printed submarines have been built in the pas

  • June 6, 2017 - inconnu - A breakthrough 3D printer has been unveiled which can work like a production line using a conveyor.Currently 3D printers use a stationary print bed.Printing long objects would take several print runs and some glue. The BlackBelt from Stephan Schürmann replaces the print bed of old with a conveyor belt, which allows for continuous printing.It easily surpassed a €50,000 Euros goal on crowd-funding site Kickstarter on the first day of its month-long campaign.The BlackBelt has been 3 years in development and is production ready.It has carbon fibre composite conveyor belt that allows for continuous printing of long objects, with the option of going even longer by adding a roller module. It can also create continuous batch production of smaller single build parts, like a factory production line.The build area is given as 340 mm wide, 340 mm high and an infinite length, and the interchangeable print heads can be set at four different angles.That means creators don't need to rely on support structures for overhangs in complex prints.Its Dutch-based maker says that the BlackBelt can be made available as either a desktop unit or a floor-standing machine, and can be customized to match buyer needs. The pre-production prototype has been tested with three types of print plastics though Schürmann does suggest that other materials may be supported.The expected retail price is €9,500 Euros for a desktop model, or €12,500 Euros for a freestanding version, but significant reductions are being offered to Kickstarter backers.

  • 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

In 1985, sand and coral dominated the Red Sea coast in an area about 30 kilometers (19 miles) northwest of Hurghada, Egypt. Aside from a lone road that ran along the coast, the desert landscape was largely untouched by human activity. Three decades later, development has radically reshaped the coastline.<br />
The construction of El Gouna, a resort town, began in 1989. Building proceeded in waves, with a small cluster of summer holiday homes eventually morphing into a year-round community of about 23,000 people. As of 2015, El Gouna included 16 hotels, some 2,700 villas, 3 marinas, an 18-hole golf course, and hundreds of restaurants and shops.<br />
Developers were not content to simply build on the existing landscape. To give<br />
seaside views and easy access to the water to as many El Gouna residents and guests as possible, builders dredged huge amounts of sand from coastal bays and inlets to sculpt the canals, marinas, hotels, and artificial islands of the resort.<br />
The changes to the coast are evident in this pair of natural-color images acquired by sensors on Landsat satellites. The top image was captured by the Thematic Mapper (TM) on Landsat 5 in 1985; the bottom image was captured by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 in 2014.<br />
While El Gouna has pledged to become a carbon neutral town, the resort has come with a cost for the local environment, particularly the coral reef ecosystems that make the area so appealing. Construction of coastal hotels and other infrastructure often involved the destruction of fringing reefs along the coastlines, caused by the dredging or dumping of large amounts of sediment.<br />
While it is difficult to distinguish between reefs, underwater sand, sea grass, and algae in natural-color Landsat imagery, some scientists have used other wavelengths to track changes in corals near El Gouna and neighboring Hurghada. The findings indicate the reefs may be in trouble. According to one study, corals near Hurghada

Others say it was coined by sailors who observed that the water appeared black during winter storms. Perhaps the sea would have a different name if people had seen it from space in spring or summer, when the sea is transformed from drab to colorful.<br />
On May 7, 2016, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments on NASA's Aqua satellite acquired this natural-color image of the Black Sea, a large inland body of water bordered by Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, and Turkey. Light blue colors toward the middle of the sea are likely the result of blooming phytoplankton.<br />
Phytoplankton are the "primary producers" of the seas and oceans. These plant-like, microscopic algae, bacteria, and protists use chlorophyll to make food from sunlight and dissolved nutrients. More than 150 different types of phytoplankton have been observed in the Black Sea, supporting a rich bounty of fish and other marine life.<br />
One type of phytoplankton found in the Black Sea are coccolithophores - microscopic plankton that are plated with white calcium carbonate. However, early May might be too soon to see them blooming here in large numbers, according to ocean scientist Norman Kuring of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Their signature milky blue swirls are more common in summer. On the other hand, climate change is altering the timing of phytoplankton blooms around the world. Only a surface sample can confirm the exact composition of this bloom.<br />
Other factors could also contribute to the myriad colors. The middle of the sea is quite deep, diving down more than 2000 meters (7,000 feet). In this region, surface water generally does not mix with the deeper, saltier, anoxic waters. But in the shallows closer to the coasts, some color could be due to the mixing and stirring of bottom sediments. Browns and greens are also

  • November can be a stormy month in the Great Lakes region, as it was again in 2015. Toward the middle of the month, a low-pressure system and cold front swept up from the Central Plains and across the lakes. In Detroit, media outlets reported wind gusts as high as 52 miles (84 kilometers) per hour that left 13,000 residents without power. On Lake Erie, gale force winds halted shipping.<br />
Winds were not the only reason ships sought safe anchorage. The high winds created a seiche - a large standing wave that occurs when strong winds and a quick change in atmospheric pressure push water from one end of a body of water to the other, according to NOAA. Seiches occur periodically on Lake Erie. In 1844, a 22-foot seiche breached a sea wall with deadly consequences. In 2008, Buffalo was flooded by waves that measured 16 feet. That's about the height of the seiche measured by a buoy at the lake's east side on November 12, 2015.<br />
Two weeks after the seiche, its effects were still evident. On November 25, 2015, the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite acquired this natural-color image of colorful green and tan swirls.<br />
"The seiche stirred up a lot of sediment," said Kevin Czajkowski, a remote-sensing scientist at the University of Toledo. Not all of the colorful swirls are necessarily the result of resuspended sediments. "I wonder if Lake Erie is having a whiting event as well."<br />
Particles of calcium carbonate in the water can cause lightening, or "whiting," of the water. That usually happens in response to changes in the water temperature, or due to increased photosynthesis by phytoplankton and other microscopic marine life.<br />
But Thomas Bridgeman, an environmental scientist at the University of Toledo, agrees that the swirls of color are mostly due to sediments. "Little patterns along the shoreline suggest wind-driven sediment resuspension," he said. "There is an olive-green tint to part of the image that might be a diatom bloom, but I think t

  • Jun 12, 2017 - Space - Most summers, jewel-toned hues appear in the Black Sea. The turquoise swirls are not the brushstrokes of a painting; they indicate the presence of phytoplankton, which trace the flow of water currents and eddies. On May 29, 2017, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite captured the data for this image of an ongoing phytoplankton bloom in the Black Sea. The image is a mosaic, composed from multiple satellite passes over the region. Phytoplankton are floating, microscopic organisms that make their own food from sunlight and dissolved nutrients. Here, ample water flow from rivers like the Danube and Dnieper carries nutrients to the Black Sea. In general, phytoplankton support fish, shellfish, and other marine organisms. But large, frequent blooms can lead to eutrophication, the loss of oxygen from the water and end up suffocating marine life. One type of phytoplankton commonly found in the Black Sea are coccolithophores, microscopic plankton that are plated with white calcium carbonate. When aggregated in large numbers, these reflective plates are easily visible from space as bright, milky water. (Credit Image: © Norman Kuring/NASA via ZUMA Wire/ZUMAPRESS.com)
