  • 2012 MauiSails LEGEND wave sail presentation

    2012 MauiSails LEGEND wave sail presentation


    Maximizing your potential

    Wave sailing is a race, even more so when there is a competition. You only have so much time to enjoy a good swell and only so much energy. To be most upwind, first in the peak, to have power through the whitewater, and to have speed to jump, you need maximum efficiency, power, and pointing ability. There is no start-finish line, but the needs are the same.

    The Legend design has experienced significant evolution for 2012, fueled by a combination of technical knowledge gained during race sail development and a passionate desire to exploit the most critical sections of the wave. The Legend reaps the full benefits of daily development and testing, both in the loft and on the water, in the worlds best wavesailing conditions. A modified, shorter luff and higher cut foot outline combined with softer shaping has resulted in a sail that fits perfectly into any wave and will put you wherever you want to be. Light feel and smooth, balanced power allow the Legend to perfectly transition from driving hard bottom turns to flawlessly releasing during radical cutbacks and maneuvers – said Artur Szpunar, co-sail designer.

    The shortened luff length moves the forces down, and allows 10kg less tension on average for the softer luff curves. This translates into easy acceleration even on the most radical short wave boards, and unmatched ability to get upwind quickly. Catch more waves, in less time using less energy. A nearly straight foot makes all the aerial maneuvers and wave riding smooth and easy without interference.

    The Legend is a full XPly™ wave sail made with the finest U.S. manufactured laminates, including for this year, a specialized Small Yarn/Light Film material used in the upper portions to keep the light feel and smooth handling necessary of tight turning down-the-line sailing. Adding a third color to Art’s bold graphic designs makes these new MauiSails most recognizable on the water, complimenting the amazing performance.

    Available sail sizes » 2.9, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7, 4.0, 4.2, 4.5, 4.7, 5.0, 5.3, 5.7, 6.1

    With your involvement & support, we can preserve the only 20 miles of coast that remains undeveloped in Southern California.

    “People exploit what they have merely concluded to be of value, but they defend what they love.” ~ Wendell Berry

    THE STORY TO SAVE THE GAVIOTA COAST FOREVER

    In just over two generations, 280 of the 300 miles of southern California’s once unspoiled coastline have been lost to development, FOREVER. Only 20 miles of coastline remain undeveloped and unprotected – for every generation that follows us.

    Twenty men, for twenty years, for twenty miles… This is the story of the Surfrider Foundation, Santa Barbara Chapter’s epic struggle to preserve the Gaviota Coast – southern California’s last remaining stretch of unspoiled, rural coastline.

    For twenty years, twenty men have withstood a slew of deep-pocket developers, major corporations, and elected officials in their effort to protect the Gaviota Coast’s incredible biodiversity and unparalleled scenic beauty.

    “The Twenty” is an inspiring story of ordinary people, fueled by their passion and their love, who stand together against improbable odds to defend one of California’s last great places.

  • What is a cancer stem cell? Narrated by Dr. John Dick

    What is a cancer stem cell? Narrated by Dr. John Dick


    Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are cancer cells that have all the classical properties of normal stem cells. Specifically, they are able to both give rise to more copies of themselves (self renewal) and to give rise to all cell types found in the cancer (differentiation). Of all the cancerous cells in a tumour, CSCs are though to be tumorigenic (tumor-forming), perhaps in contrast to other non-tumorigenic cancer cells.. Because of this, after radio- or chemotherapy, if CSCs are not eliminated they are able to cause relapse and metastasis by giving rise to new tumors. Therefore, development of specific therapies targeted at CSCs holds hope for improvement of survival and quality of life of cancer patients.

    Dr. John Dick (University of Toronto) – http://www.uhnres.utoronto.ca/researchers/profile.php?lookup=1468
    Cancer stem cells – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_stem_cell

    SCRIPT
    Cancer is the result of uncontrolled cell growth.

    Therefore, most cancer drugs are designed to kill rapidly dividing cells.

    While these drugs have saved many lives, the return of disease following chemotherapy remains a common problem in the treatment of cancer.

    Scientists now know that not all cancer cells are created equal. Rare cells, known as cancer stem cells, do not divide rapidly and therefore are not effectively killed by chemotherapy. These cells have the ability to renew themselves as well as the ability to produce rapidly dividing cells. Therefore, following a series of seemingly successful cancer treatments, rare cancer stem cells can linger and are sufficient to reinitiate the disease.

    By studying cancer stem cells, scientists may be able to design therapies that specifically target them in order to reduce recurrence and improve our ability to treat cancer.

Her role in the UNU-IAS Traditional Knowledge Initiative seeks to build greater understanding and facilitate awareness of traditional knowledge (TK) to inform action by Indigenous peoples, local communities and domestic and international policy makers. Key outputs include research activities, policy studies, capacity development and online learning and dissemination.

    Wardakken Inc
    In August 2007 the traditional owners formed Warddeken Land Management to assist the protection and management of their country, combining traditional ecological knowledge with western science. Today Warddeken Land Management operates out of Kabulwarnamyo and has about 12 rangers working in its programs, depending on the season.The Indigenous rangers work on a variety of projects including weed and feral animal control and traditional fire management. Passing on traditional ecological knowledge to younger generations is an important ranger role. Like all of Australia’s Indigenous Protected Areas, Warddeken is part of the National Reserve System – our nation’s most secure way of protecting native habitat for future generations.

    United Nations University Media Studio

  • A New Vision for the Mining Company of the Future

    A New Vision for the Mining Company of the Future


    In 2012, a diverse group of global leaders met at the KIN Catalyst conference in Brazil. With representation from business, academia, nonprofits and government, the group convened and collaborated to discuss the look of the Mining Company of the Future.

    Participation in the discussions came from a range of stakeholders. Mark Cutifani (CEO of Anglo American), Ray Offenheiser (President of Oxfam America), and Peter Bryant (Senior Fellow, Kellogg Innovation Network) all co-chaired the discussions. There was also representation from organizations such as Vale, AngloGold Ashanti, The Ford Foundation, Harvard University, Global Indigenous Solutions, and many other organizations.

    Together, these different parties identified a set of priorities that could help shift the industry. The consensus was that mining needs to change proactively in order to design their own destiny – or someone or something else will.

    Mining companies today face a complexity of problems: spiraling costs, government intervention, deepening pits, lower ore grades, and declining productivity are just some of the issues. Communities are not trusting mining, and this creates additional uncertainty. It is harder to find and start a mine than ever before. Combine this with today’s capital environment and struggling commodity prices, and it creates a very difficult picture.

    Since the KIN Catalyst conference in 2012, the working group has developed a much more extensive framework for mining companies, called the Development Partner Framework (DPF). This framework is outlined in the above infographic. If you are looking to get involved, the organization can be contacted at mining@kinglobal.org

    For more information on the KIN Catalyst: Mining Company of the Future at the Kellogg Innovation Network, visit the website: http://www.kinglobal.org/catalyst.php

    What do you think? Is this vision possible – and what are the biggest challenges facing the industry?
