Tuesday's Minneapolis election is being watched in these parts and around the country as a test of ranked-choice voting (RCV), the opportunity for voters to indicate not only their favorite candidate, but a second and third choice should No. 1 perform poorly in the first round.
It's also a test of the civic claims Minneapolitans make about themselves. They're highly engaged, well-informed gentlefolk — or so they gladly say. Winters that last until half-past April (this year, it was early May) have schooled them in patience. Odd-even snow emergencies have taught them to cope with confusion in public processes. Their city government features lots of layers with lots of offices to fill because they like it that way — and they love to vote.
Will the same be said of them, by them or for them after the polls close at 8 p.m. Tuesday?
Here's my top tip for Minneapolis voters: Allow plenty of time at the polls. Better still, spend some quality time with the sample ballot at vote.minneapolismn.gov before you vote. You and the people behind you in line will be glad you did.
It's not that huge turnout is expected — not by presidential election standards, city officials told journalists and campaign aides at a briefing last week. Neither is the number of offices to be filled unusually high. Even with the overcrowding in the mayor's race, the ballot consists of only the front and back of a single sheet of paper.
But you'll need a few moments to scan the 35 names in the mayoral first-choice column to find your favorite. Then, in order to fully flex the electoral muscle that RCV affords, you must read that long list twice more, once for second choice, once for third.
Try to express all your choices in the same column? Sorry. The counting machine will spit out your ballot. You'll be invited to go back in line and try again. (If that happens for any reason, take a deep breath and consider your city's reputation before you sputter or stomp away. If you give up, city officials said, be assured that the perennially calm election judges will salvage and count any portion of your ballot that you didn't spoil.)
Planning to vote for the same candidate in all three columns, hoping to do your favorite a favor? Go ahead — the machine won't spurn your ballot. But you won't help your choice one whit. Planning to save time by voting in the first-choice column only? Feel free. That's a valid ballot, too.
But if you do either of those things, you will be wasting your RCV advantage — the extra measure of influence it provides in multicandidate elections. By allowing you to indicate that more than one candidate is acceptable to you, you increase the chances that one of your "acceptables" wins.
Most Minneapolis voters will also have a rankable choice to make for City Council. Then there's the Park and Recreation Board and the Board of Estimate and Taxation, and don't forget the two charter amendments, which require a little reading. You see why voting on Tuesday won't be a two-minute drill.
More patience will be required after the polls close. The mayor's race winner won't be known on Tuesday night. If no glitches develop, it's quite possible that someone can throw a victory party on Wednesday night. If something goes awry with government computers (imagine that!) the wait for results will be longer.
Will voters deem RCV worth the extra time and effort? The winners and their fans will likely say yes. Whether others do will depend on how well RCV lives up to the promises that sold city voters in 2006, when they wrote it into the city charter. Here's a refresher on that sales pitch:
• RCV will assure majority rule. That would be true if each three-choice RCV race were between three candidates. It likely would be true if the race involved just a few more. But 35? Chances are good that a lot of Minneapolis mayoral ballots will be "exhausted" well before a winner is determined. The mayoral winner's vote count could be substantially smaller than 50 percent plus 1 of those voting on Tuesday.
The RCV advocates at FairVote Minnesota now say that their method "upholds the principle of majority rule." But Jeanne Massey, FairVote's executive director, is careful to add that RCV winners are those chosen by "a majority of continuing ballots." Ballots whose first, second and third choices are out of the running don't continue.
FairVote knows that a large number of exhausted ballots in the mayoral race undercuts one of RCV's top selling points. It's why FairVote urged that city voters get six choices for mayor, not three, and that the candidate filing fee be increased from the token $20 it has been since 1967. It might be more obvious to the next City Council that those are good ideas.
• RCV lifts the fear of "wasting my vote." That claim, too, needs modification in a field this large. Pick three losers, and your ballot will be just as irrelevant as it would have been in a single-choice election in which you voted for an also-ran.
But RCV does let a voter cast a first-place choice for a less-than-leading candidate without fear of inadvertently helping a leading candidate that the voter detests. The ballot's second- and third-choice columns can be used to steer toward one or two preferred leaders and thus away from abhorrent others.
• RCV will result in less negative campaigning. This promise has been fulfilled, the candidates say. With no clear leader in the mayoral field, chances are good that second- and third-place votes will determine the outcome. The battle to be the second choice of other candidates' supporters has suppressed the impulse to go on the attack.
Whether that's a good thing is open to question. Voters are likely struggling to suss out the leading candidates' differences on issues. (Today's OpEx is here to help.) Some Minneapolitans — and not just journalists — kvetch that so much mutual respect has failed to engage the electorate. Which leads to the last RCV promise:
• With the chance to register more choices, more citizens will participate — and special-interest influence will wane. Tuesday's turnout will tell the tale. In 1993, the last time no incumbent was on the mayoral ballot, turnout was 45.3 percent. Miss that mark by much, and RCV critics will pounce, saying the balloting method was too confusing or too time-consuming or too boring to work.
Others will say it shows that Minneapolitans aren't the supercitizens they claim to be. You don't want that smear to catch on, Minneapolis? The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday. That website again: vote.minneapolismn.gov.

Isn't this great?
Melbourne based designer Susie Cohen has remodeled an 1920's warehouse to a home,
with lots and lots of natural light, wooden floors and whitewashed walls.
The result - a very beautiful and stylish home.
All that natural light makes the space look so much larger than its 10 x 16 meters!
I could move in any day. Couldn't you? More images at her website

Life in Christian County, Kentucky...
Smoke in the barns
Languid in the warmth
Yellow in the cottonwood leaves
Red in the sassafras
Technorati tags:
Smoke in the barns
Languid in the warmth
Yellow in the cottonwood leaves
Red in the sassafras
Colours of life.
Really captures the mood.
It was gray and almost foggy in places when I was taking these photos, but later the sun came out and the sky was blue and the temperature was comfortable -- not too hot! There was a hint of autumn about the whole day.
Smoke in the barns, is that the tobacco barn?
It is a tobacco barn, and it's one of hundreds in the county right now that are being used to fire the dark tobacco. The farmers lay sawdust and hardwood slabs in trenches in the floor and let them smolder in the tightly closed barn. The smoke colors and flavors the leaf.
CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.
(Author unknown)
IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
(Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1867-1957)
Thanks for reading.

Dr Joe Zammit-Lucia argues that if conservationists are to maintain and accelerate their success they need to shift their focus from nature to people.
Conservation is all about people.
This statement is found on the website of IUCN's Commission on Education and Communication. It is a vital statement that should guide the efforts of the whole conservation community yet it is widely ignored. The vast majority of the expertise and rhetoric of the conservation world is focused on 'nature' rather than people. Why is this and does it need to change?
From species and spaces to people
Years ago, a friend of mine working on a conservation project in Madagascar was puzzled that the local people did not seem engaged in efforts to develop sustainable use of the local forests. Only by chance did the team come across an explanation—some sociology research that explained that the local culture is rooted in its past with little concept of planning for a future.
This anecdote highlights the reality of conservation. Successful conservation is about understanding how to focus people's behaviours, from the behaviour of those earning a living in biodiversity hotspots to the behaviour of consumers in developed countries to the investment choices made by businesses, industries and global market makers, to the political decisions made at local and international levels. Yet, while our team in Madagascar had a great deal of accumulated expertise in biology, endangered species and ecology, they had no significant expertise in matters of human behaviour, cultural studies, economics, business management or politics. Though the team understood these needs, such expertise was not readily available to them.
The conservationists' culture
The situation described above bedevils much conservation work. It should go without saying that successful conservation efforts are purely a question of human behaviour, be that behaviour at political, industrial, community or individual level. Yet the bulk of the expertise that has been accumulated within the conservation community is not about human behaviour, it is focused on 'nature' and the know-how and science that underpins that nature. While this know-how is essential to conservation success, it is an insufficient basis on which such success can be built. At least as important is a capability to understand and focus on the needs of individuals and communities and to work to improve people's lives in a manner that is consistent with conservation aims.
Today's conservation culture and rhetoric are primarily focused around 'nature' and its conservation. This culture encourages a negative and destructive dichotomy between the Human and the Natural—the Natural as a romanticized ideal that we are trying to preserve and the Human as the interloper that is wrecking our idyll. On a quick review, I calculate that 80-90% of press items related to conservation are negative, painting people, their economic activities and their search for self improvement as a destructive influence on nature.
.....and it's not about 'communication'
Whenever I talk to conservationists about changing people's behaviours, I am met with nods of agreement and then quickly pointed towards "the communications people". This betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the issues. Changing behaviour is not about developing our own agenda focused on nature and then trying to find some slick marketing wheeze or educational programme to convince people that we're right and they must change their ways. Success can only come through putting people first and framing what we do as being about finding ways to improve their lives. It requires much more than communication of our established ideas and approaches, it requires a re-framing of what conservation projects should be about.
A framework for success
I would like to propose both a shift in mindset and approach and the building of new capabilities within the conservation community.
1. People first
People should claim the centre of conservation rhetoric and individual conservation initiatives. Here there are two components to success and they are applicable to both developed and developing countries.
We should stop telling everyone that they are bad people because of their search for development or self-fulfillment or because they want to improve their lives, or because they enjoy their consumption—as we all do—even those of us who preach conservation.
Every conservation statement or project should ask: how am I going to improve people's lives through this work? And 'improve' should not be defined in narrow economic terms. There are many non-financial ways to improve people's lives such as giving people a sense of pride and achievement, creating a sense of community with shared goals, providing aesthetic or recreational benefits, and many others.
We have seen examples, in IUCN projects, where success comes from a focus on improving people's lives. One such example is 'Speak up and change your life'
2. Develop the expertise
We could all benefit significantly from expertise that helps us understand the drivers of human behaviour and think through conservation agendas with people's behaviour in mind. This expertise needs to be built within the core of conservation strategy and activity, not as part of some separate function, off to the side while proper conservationists get on with their science of nature.
3. Work with others
Who, today, is providing people with jobs, a living wage, the ability to build a life and the ability to have the products and services that they need or want? Largely these functions are provided by industry and business. Industrialization has led to a massive improvement in people's quality of life in the past 150 years and most people continue to look to industry as the most likely source for meeting their aspirations. Unfortunately, industrialization has also led to the environmental degradation we are now trying to slow down or stop.
The conservation agenda simply cannot be achieved without the deep involvement of industry. Industry has the resources, expertise and political clout that, well focused, can achieve the sort of behavioural changes that we all seek. And industry has shown itself able to achieve widespread behavioural changes at all levels, from the individual consumer to the highest levels of political decision making.
And, at a practical level, we can achieve little without industrial involvement. From the development of alternative energy, to finding ways of managing forests sustainably, to changing consumer behaviour, we are dependent on those respective industries to move forward and to do so in a way that still provides jobs and meets people's legitimate aspirations.
Moving forward
Conservation cannot be framed simplistically as the task of 'conserving nature', or using grand slogans such as 'saving the planet'; or to speak in tongues using terms like 'biodiversity' and 'ecosystem services' that the average person doesn't understand, much less care about. Neither is conservation merely a science or a technical discipline. Conservation is a cultural construct and a set of values; values that should be focused on improving people's lives in a cultural framework that is consistent with maintaining the many, varied benefits of a well-functioning natural world. In a world of seven billion people, and growing, this is purely a matter of human behaviour.
Our conservation success depends on human behaviour first, second, third and last. Conservation is as much about sociology, psychology, cultural studies and the humanities as it is about biology and ecology. It is about politics as much as it is about climate science. It is about industry, finance and economics as much as it is about NGOs and philanthropy. It is about people as much as about nature. And it should be about aspirations and improvement more, much more, than about guilt and austerity.
We have had the Year of Biodiversity. We are having the Year of Forests. How about the Year of the People as our next effort?

The academic objective responds to the current awareness regarding landscape issues and environmental intervention, in which different disciplines converge, some directly involved with the aesthetic and technical aspects of the intervention: the landscape, architecture, urbanism; others linked to civil engineering, agriculture and forestry; and other with scientific training in the fields of environmental science or planning to geography, economics, law, etc.
The master focuses on the design of the intervention and protection planning, but also in the transformation in natural and artificial landscapes. That is, in the design of parks and public spaces in the treatment of spaces that need to improve, be protected and restored, specifically in coastal systems and river areas, in the management and planning of the natural environment, and in environmental management when subjected to changes of use that substantially modify the area, as in the new agricultural and tourist areas.

The home squash courts of Germantown Friends School and Penn Charter are little more than a mile apart, but that was about the only thing that was close when the girls of GFS made a short trip to visit the PC Quakers last Thursday afternoon.
With all but one of the individual contests decided in three straight games in the customary best-of-five format, the visiting Tigers charged to an 8-1 triumph.
Penn Charter picked up its solitary victory in a bout between sophomores in the number two match, where the Quakers' Izzy Hirshberg, just back off the sick list, mustered up a 13-11, 11-8, 11-4 win over another talented 10th-grader, Grayson Melby.
In the top spot, the Tigers' Olivia Fiechter remained undefeated in interscholastic matches with an 11-1, 11-4, 11-5 win over fellow junior Margaux Losty of the Quakers. Both athletes, along with a number of other local players, were at Harvard University in the middle of last month for the 2012 U.S. Junior Open Squash Championships, a major tournament that includes both American and foreign players.
Fiechter, a Chestnut Hill resident and a U.S. Junior National Team player, finished third in Boston, while Losty reached the consolation quarterfinals.
With Feichter on the top rung of the team ladder, GFS has gone 4-1 so far in interscholastic matches. In addition to the recent win over Charter, the Tigers topped another familiar rival, Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, in their season opener. The lone loss came against Baldwin School, a program that has established a national presence in recent years. Fiechter was the lone victor in that 8-1 setback.
The Quakers lost to Baldwin by the same score, saved from a sweep by Losty in a five-game battle against the Bears' junior number one, Selena Maity. Charter has also struggled in other matches mainly due to lack of depth on the squad, with some inexperienced players, including one beginner, in some of the lower positions. The team's 2-3 record includes wins against the Harriton/Lower Merion H.S. combo team and a fledgling Friends Central squad.
For last Thursday's match, Charter was missing regular number four Leigh Steinberg, a junior who celebrated on New Year's Eve by having her wisdom teeth removed.
Against GFS, junior Danielle Reisley played number three, as usual, falling 11-3, 11-3, 12-10 to visiting sophomore Annie Tyson. The other Quakers bumped up one position, starting with Ryann Schaffer in a number four contest between two seniors. In the only bout not wrapped up in straight games, Germantown Friends' Anna Bezahler won in four, 11-2, 6-11, 11-8, 11-6.
Two more seniors squared off in the number seven match, where the visitors' Lauren Shinn overwhelmed PC's Natalie Badawy, 11-3, 11-3, 11-2. A pair of 11th-graders engaged in the sixth spot, where an 11-5, 11-4, 11-3 outcome favored Germantown's Claire Schmidt over Gabi Bembry of the host team.
On the middle rung of the team ladder, GFS sophomore number five Hannah Safford subdued Quakers senior Emma Ebert, 11-2, 11-4, 11-7.
The Tigers' victory was rounded out by a pair of freshmen, number eight Elizabeth Wallace, and Claire Schmidt's sister Isabel, who played number nine. Wallace went past PC senior Rachael Garnick, 11-2, 11-8, 11-5, and Schmidt swept Sydney Stokes, a junior for the Quakers, 11-2, 11-2, 11-3.

(Reuters) - New York Knicks back-up forward/center Rasheed Wallace will have surgery this week to repair a broken left foot and will probably miss the rest of the regular season, the team said on Wednesday.
The 38-year-old Wallace, who came out of a two-year retirement to join the Knicks last October, had been sidelined since mid-December with a foot injury.
Wallace played well for the Knicks (33-20), who lead the National Basketball Association's Atlantic Division despite recent struggles, averaging 7.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in 14.6 minutes a game.
New York moved to shore up their frontline by signing free-agent forward Kenyon Martin to a 10-day contract on Saturday.

|Statement by Ambassador Wang Min at the 67th Session of UN General Assembly on the Agenda Item "Report of the International Atomic Energy Agency"
(UN Photo)
Mr. President,
The Chinese delegation welcomes the report by Mr. Yukiya Amano, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, on the work of the Agency.
Over the past year, the Agency has conscientiously performed its duties under the Statute by maintaining a balanced development of its two major mandates of promoting the peaceful use of nuclear energy and preventing proliferation of nuclear weapons, and has achieved fruitful results in various fields of work. In the field of nuclear safety, in particular, the Agency has taken a series of measures to ensure the comprehensive and effective implementation of the Nuclear Safety Action Plan since its adoption at the 55th General Conference of the Agency. China believes that these efforts made by the Agency are of great importance for restoring confidence of the international community in nuclear power development, improving international nuclear safety and emergency response, and safeguarding the safe and sustainable development of global nuclear energy.
At the same time, through technical cooperation programs, the Agency has promoted the application of nuclear technology in a wide range of areas, such as public health, medical service, agriculture, and environmental protection. Based on its Technical Cooperation Platform, the Agency has provided important guidance to developing countries in their nuclear power development. It has also offered support and assistance to member states in strengthening nuclear security and capabilities by establishing the Nuclear Security Guidance Committee and formulating guiding documents such as the Nuclear Security Fundamentals. The Agency has made continued efforts to promote the universality of comprehensive safeguards agreements and its additional protocol, and earnestly performed its safeguards functions. The Chinese delegation is gratified to see that the work of the Agency has gained extensive recognition and support from its member states.
Mr. President,
The Fukushima nuclear accident has triggered deep reflection on the use of nuclear energy among the international community, and countries are having increasingly rational understanding of nuclear energy development. On the one hand, nuclear power, as a clean and efficient form of energy, still plays an irreplaceable role in safeguarding energy security, promoting economic development and combating climate change, and the global trend for nuclear energy development has remained fundamentally unchanged. On the other hand, safety is the lifeline and premise of nuclear energy development. In the course of nuclear energy development, China always adheres to the principle of "safety first". We have established a comprehensive legal and standards system and supervision framework on nuclear safety, and will continue to improve them. We have strengthened management of nuclear safety and emergency response, stepped up efforts in personnel training and technology research and development, and kept a good track record in nuclear safety. To further enhance nuclear safety, China has supported and taken an active part in relevant international and regional exchanges and cooperation, and worked vigorously to introduce and apply advanced nuclear power technologies.
China also attaches great importance to nuclear security capacity building, and supports and actively participates in relevant international cooperation. In March 2012, President Hu Jintao attended the Seoul Nuclear Security Summit, where he expounded China's policy and measures on nuclear security issues in a comprehensive manner. China has played a constructive role in ensuring the success of the Summit, and made great contribution to promoting the international cooperation in nuclear security. At present, the construction of the Center of Excellence on Nuclear Security in China in cooperation with relevant countries is going on in an orderly fashion. China will make endeavors to build the Center into a regional center of excellence, and cooperate and interconnect with other centers to uplift nuclear security level in the region. In addition, China supports the leading role of the Agency in the field of nuclear security, and will continue to offer contributions to the Nuclear Security Fund.
Mr. President,
The Agency is the most authoritative and representative international organization in the nuclear field. Member states have placed high expectations on it. It is China's hope that, facing the new situation, the Agency will give top priority to the following aspects:
First, further promoting the implementation of the Action Plan on Nuclear Safety and the international exchange and cooperation in nuclear safety, and helping member states enhance nuclear safety and emergency response capabilities. Second, further improving the standards and guiding documents in nuclear security, and assisting member states in upgrading their national nuclear security system, with a view to playing a more important role in enhancing global nuclear security level. Third, strengthening safeguards regime and effectively preventing nuclear proliferation. Fourth, maintaining an objective and impartial stand on sensitive and hot nuclear issues and playing a constructive role in peacefully resolving these issues through dialogue and cooperation.
Thank you, Mr. President.

"Two and a Half Men" creator Chuck Lorre has had meetings about producing "Two and a Half Men" without Charlie Sheen, and Chuck's people have been talking to Rob Lowe, TMZ has learned.
Sources connected with Lorre tell us ... the mega-producer has been holding internal meetings about keeping the show going. Various options have been discussed, and they have a short list of replacements for Charlie's character.
Our sources say ... Lorre's people as well as honchos from Warner Bros. have been in touch with Rob's agent at William Morris-Endeavor, talking about Rob possibly coming onboard.
There are two stumbling blocks for Rob -- he currently stars in "Parks and Recreation," and he grew up with the Sheen family.
No decisions have been made yet, but it looks like there's a real interest in keeping "Men" alive.
UPDATE: Ashton Kutcher.

Integrative Neuroscience Program
An interdisciplinary science
Neuroscience—the study of the nervous system—provides incredible opportunities to work across many disciplines as it focuses on the brain and its functioning. From the biology to the psychology of behavior, there is much to study.
Neuroscientists routinely draw on the fields of psychology, biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and computer science in their work, and that's one reason integrative neuroscience is such an interesting and challenging field of study.
The Integrative Neuroscience Major
At Binghamton University, students who major in integrative neuroscience (formerly known as Psychobiology) take a variety of courses across a number of departments. Most core courses are taken within the psychology department and biological sciences department. Distribution requirements are derived from the mathematics, chemistry and physics departments; and electives can come from departments such as anthropology, philosophy and history.
Many students who receive a bachelor of science degree in integrative neuroscience go on to graduate or professional school. Majoring in integrative neuroscience provides a good background for master's or PhD programs in a variety of disciplines such as neuroscience, anatomy, physiology and pharmacology, among others. Additionally, many students find that Binghamton's integrative neuroscience program provides excellent preparation for medical or dental school.
Integrative Neuroscience Newsletter

The newest hypercar on the planet is the

favourite new car…

The newest hypercar on the planet is the
1,100bhp Zenvo ST1. And it's Danish. TopGear takes the tame racing driving to meet his
favourite new car…
Words: Jason Barlow
Photography: Joe Windsor Williams
You don't just jump straight into a car
that has 1,100bhp and nail it. I'm not that brave and the men from Zenvo aren't
that stupid. Or maybe it's the other way round. Whatever, there has to be some
sort of pre-flight familiarisation, a bit of a run-through.
But not much of one, as it turns out. The
Zenvo ST1 might be obscenely powerful, but it's not meant to be difficult.
That's one of its most attractive USPs.
A man called Troels is in the hot seat. He
has the slightly hang-dog look of brilliant Hollywood character actor William
H. Macy, who has carved out a strong niche for himself playing men perpetually
frustrated by life's unfathomable about-turns. They might look similar, but I
don't think Troels is the sort to get frustrated. He's Danish, for a start, and
they tend to be pretty stoical. As is the Zenvo. Its Danishness is another USP.
A no-nonsense Nordic supercar to stick it to the Koenigsegg.
The Zenvo's 7.0-litre V8 idles at an
impressively even-tempered 800rpm. Troels gives the throttle a little blip and
the revs rise and decay with an alacrity that seriously quickens the pulse.
There's a corresponding pop from the exhaust. Later today, the exhaust will
happily emit a jet of flame a metre long. The Zenvo has the rumbling, casually
violent demeanour of a Nascar. But it's much better dressed, and has better
Troels eases us away, and points the
Zenvo's snout towards the desert. We're about 30 miles outside Dubai city,
temporarily based beside a small parade of shops. There's a souvenir store
stocked with cuddly camels, not-to-scale models of the new Burj Dubai (the
recently opened world's tallest building) and hubbly-bubbly pipes. The Zenvo's
a fabulously well-executed piece of design, but out here, alongside the Toyota
pick-ups and Nissan Patrols, it looks as mad as something teleported from
George Lucas's cerebral cortex.
On the move now. Troels is chatting away.
"You see, it's easy. The clutch is easy, changing gear is easy, and it's
comfortable and quiet enough for us to have a conversation at 80 or 90mph. This
is what we've been working towards, a supercar you can drive every day."
We are indeed having a conversation, and
it's true, the car is remarkably civilised. Sure, this road's straight and
smooth, but there are none of those clonks and groans that bedevil low-volume
supercars, nothing to make you wonder if they blew all the money making a car
look like a spaceship. It mumbles along in sixth, pulling about 1,300rpm at
70mph. Geared for intergalactic travel, then. Troels glances over. Briefly, I
ponder my favourite William H. Macy movie. Fargo. Or maybe Boogie Nights.
Then he flattens the Zenvo's fast pedal and
everything goes a bit strange. This isn't just a quick car, it's a bloody time
machine. There's no point trying to affect Danish stoicism in here. The moment
Troells first unzips the Zenvo I laugh out loud, like a child or possibly
someone experiencing jet air travel for the first time. It's a bit
embarrassing, to be honest.
The stats suggest 0-62mph in three seconds
and a top speed limited - ha! - to 233mph. But it feels faster. From a standing
start, it hooks up and beams itself up the road in a way that really does smack
of the Starship Enterprise. At 4,500rpm, the Zenvo's engine and ancillaries are
sucking and blowing with heavy-duty industrial intensity. I've no idea what
speed we're doing but it feels like we could accelerate until the road runs
out, turning the middle of nowhere into the end of days.
Bit dramatic, I know. But then so is this
car. Has someone been on the hubbly-bubbly pipe or has Denmark, not previously
noted for its car industry, just bludgeoned its way into the supercar elite?
Though the Swedish Koenigsegg has paved the
way, there's something even more appealingly random about the Zenvo's Danish
origins. I mean, what do you know about the place? There's bacon and
Copenhagen. Hamlet was a Dane. The 2008 Corruption Perceptions Index rated
Denmark as the world's least corrupt country. The more recent Global Peace
Index decided it was the second most peaceful country on the planet. Like other
Scandinavian countries, it's a model of social justice, a terrific welfare
state with a matchless national health service. But the locals pay a hefty 65
per cent basic income tax for the privilege, and a BMW 3-Series costs about 50
grand. Mercedes' modifier Kleeman is the most noted Danish automotive outfit.
Eight times Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen is its most famous driver.
So really, the Zenvo should suck. That it
doesn't is down to the ingenuity of co-founders Jesper Jensen, Troels
Vollertsen and Lasse Stenkilde. Vollertsen is the engineering brains of the
operation, a motorsport specialist with a track record in saloon car racing,
rallying and rallycross. He's also a tuner with a strong reputation and client
base in the Middle East. Jensen is an IT genius and entrepreneur, who sold his
company at the right time and made some money. Vollertsen had already squeezed
640bhp from Jensen's AMG Merc CLS 55, and went to work persuading him to
collaborate on his dream of building a sports car.
"I said to Jesper, 'You've sold your
company, so why not do something funny like build your own car?' He replied,
'Come on, we'll never be able to do that.' Pagani and Koenigsegg have done it,
I told him, so why not? Though we never thought we'd end up in this league when
we started out…"
The Zenvo project - "the name means whatever you want it to mean," says Jensen - was duly fired up in 2005. Images of the car began appearing on the internet in 2008, and I first spoke to Jensen exactly a year ago, when he wouldn't even confirm the whereabouts of the company's premises. They play their cards close to their chests, the Danes, and even now, with the key in my hand and the car ticking away in the desert heat beside me, Jensen is adamant that their creation does the talking.
"This is about the car. We aren't doing this for ego reasons. We realised Denmark had no real car design or automotive engineering heritage, and we took the decision not to reveal anything until we were absolutely ready. Even some of our suppliers and partners were cynical to begin with. But we had the correct finance in place before we started the project, and we paid them properly upfront. When they saw the finished car, they said, 'now we believe you, now we're interested!'"
The ST1's chassis and packaging was
confirmed before the car's stunning shape was even a twinkle in Jensen's eye
(Gordon Murray did the McLaren F1 this way round too). Though emphatically not
a track car, much of its specification is race-car derived. Its chassis is a
steel spaceframe, its body panels carbon fibre. It uses a Ricardo six-speed
manual transmission, and its suspension uses double wishbones front and rear,
with adjustable gas-hydraulic Ohlins shock absorbers. The brakes are ventilated
steel discs from Brembo, 380mm diameter at the front, 280mm at the rear, and
grabbed by six-pot pistons. It wears enormous Michelin Sport Pilot rubber,
335/30 on 20in alloys at the rear, 265/35 19ins at the front. The prototype
we're driving weighs 1,426kg, but Vollertsen says the first full production car
will shave that down to 1,376kg. The press kit claims a power-to-weight ratio
of 802bhp-per-tonne - impressive against the Veyron's 446bhp-per-tonne ratio.
The engine's provenance is more mysterious.
Being a 16 valve, 7.0-litre V8, it's tempting to think it owes at least
something to the Corvette ZO6. And it does, but it's also sufficiently bespoke
to stand up to Zenvo's claims to have designed its own power unit. "GM does a
thing called an LSX block," Vollertsen says, "but it's steel so it was too
heavy. We took its dimensions and did our own aluminium version. It has bigger
oil channels, and dry sump lubrication. The crank, rods, forged pistons,
flywheel are all our own design. So really, it's our own engine."
Then they decided to supercharge and
turbocharge it, using the familiar screw-type Eaton supercharger and exhaust
gas-driven Garrett turbocharger. The supercharger improves the engine's
flexibility lowdown, though it runs at 0.4 bar continuously. The turbo keeps
things kicking at the top end, running boost pressure at 1.4 bar in maximum
attack mode. All of which makes for an impressively linear torque curve. Oh,
and an earth-moving 1,053lb ft of the stuff at 4,500rpm. And 1100bhp at
6,900rpm. None of which so much as wrinkles the chilled Danish reserve one
"We don't really care about top speed,"
Jensen claims, poker-faced. "We were never focused intently on the numbers. We
actually started with 1,500bhp, and took it down from there. We never wanted to
get involved in a big horsepower battle or a top speed war. That's just
bragging. What mattered to us were the car's design and driveability."
Hmmmm. Driveability and 1,100bhp are
generally uneasy bedfellows. But as we head off for an appointment with a
certain white-clad driving God - mad dogs, Englishmen and Stigs out in the
midday sun - its tractability really is stunning. It uses an AP Racing
twin-plate clutch, but there's no need for any high rev histrionics as you pull
away. After that, you need a fairly firm hand on the aluminium gearlever, but
no serious effort. The shift action itself isn't that special, and lacks
mechanical intimacy, but given the amount of grunt it's harnessing it's pretty
good. (A paddleshift system is under development with Xtrac, a necessary sop to
some of Zenvo's more image-conscious target markets.)
The ST1's performance ramps up remarkably
smoothly for such a powerful car. Vollertsen talks of it being 'organic' and of
not wanting to spring any nasty surprises on the driver. "We wanted to avoid
the 'ketchup effect'… you know, nothing, nothing, nothing, then, splat! as
all the sauce comes out in one lump," he says.
The Zenvo dishes up all 1,100bhp of its
sauce pretty evenly. Which isn't to say that full-bore acceleration is lacking
in drama. Forward motion is fantastically, almost cosmically uninhibited, and
it's accompanied by a soundtrack that's comically macho. Inside, it's like a
mobile power station. Listening to it from the outside as it passes by, it
bellows and barks like it's channelling some primal force from the centre of
the earth. You gotta love cars like this.
There are three driving modes: Wet, Sport
and Race, which dole out the power in successively, er, saucier increments by
altering boost and exhaust mapping. When everyday mode involves just 650bhp,
you know you're dealing with something special. In 'Sport' setting, the Zenvo
reels in the horizon with eye-popping ferocity. In 'Race' you're pinned into
the back of your seat, eyeballs, ears and any other extraneous fleshy bits
forced unattractively back like a Basset hound in a wind tunnel.
There aren't many corners out here, but
with just 1.5 turns lock-to-lock the ST1's steering and turn-in are
super-sharp. Traction is good too, despite its immense power, and though wind-tunnel
testing has yet to be carried out - which is a bit worrying - a full CFD
analysis suggests that high-speed downforce isn't an issue.
Stig finds this out immediately. As usual,
he flags us down without warning after appearing from the high desert, demands
the keys and guns it. Before he disappears over a crest about a mile away, he
jinks twice, hard. He is back after 20 minutes. Emerging from the cabin, he
turns and simply stares at the ST1. I think I see him twitch. Then, as the car
ticks and exhales itself cool, he walks off in the direction of Ras Al Khor
Industrial Area.
My turn. It certainly feels stable enough,
although it wriggles a bit under hard braking. At some point soon, the Stig
will trade desert for his more familiar home turf, and we'll find out how well
the Zenvo handles high-speed corners. But it should be good.
It's a blast, this car, in every sense. But
really, it's not that difficult to squeeze mega-horsepower out of a big old V8
these days. All sorts of tinpot operations are at it, satisfying the lascivious
urges of power junkies in Germany, the Middle East and the US. What makes the
Zenvo different is the quality of the execution. And the way it looks.
For what is effectively a small start-up, this is a professional bit of work, the best since the Pagani first exploded onto the scene in 2003. Jensen admits he had a million ideas, but elected to hand responsibility for shaping the Zenvo over to former Alfa designer and RCA graduate, Christian Brandt. Brandt describes Nordic design as 'consequent', and admits that when you're operating at this level you can't skimp on the quality. The end product delivers impressively on both fronts. This is the prototype, so some of the shut-lines could be tighter, but even so it's far from bad. The seats are terrific, the driving position and packaging amazingly good, and the fit and finish inside generally high quality. It doesn't smell gluey, either, like so many of its ilk. This particular car uses Porsche instruments, but the finished production cars will have a bespoke panel that riffs off Zenvo's hexagonal motif and is similar in style to the 458 Italia's layout.
As is the car's exterior styling. The
longer you look at it, the better it gets. There simply isn't a bad angle on
it. It's as long as a Porsche Carrera GT or Lamborghini Murciélago, so it's
trading blows with the big boys. I can see 458 Italia, Maserati MC12 and Audi
R8 in its complex but connected surfacing, but as these are my three favourite
supercar shapes of the past decade this isn't a crtiticism. Props to Lasse
Stenkilde, the quietest of Zenvo's three co-owners, and the one who presided
over the ST1's construction.
The Zenvo works. After a long day in the
desert, nothing has melted or fallen off. "We offered money and beer to some of
the development drivers we've been working with to do their worst to the
driveshaft and clutch," Jensen says, "but nothing's broken yet."
At 800,000 euros it's obviously daft money,
but since only 15 ST1s will ever be made, cost isn't relevant. What is relevant
is how good the thing is. And it seems to me that with the arrival of Zenvo,
we've got ourselves a real player here.

HOOVER, Ala., April, 11, 2013 — The American Red Cross Alabama Region is monitoring the weather system that is moving across Alabama today and is prepared to respond if needed. Red Cross volunteers, supplies, and shelters are on standby, and will be ready to respond to whatever this system may bring.
The Red Cross urges residents to take steps now to stay safe when severe weather threatens. As with any disaster, preparation can be the difference between life and death. The Red Cross recommends individuals and families respond to severe weather in the following ways.
- Listen to local news or NOAA Weather Radio for emergency updates. Watch for signs of a storm, like darkening skies, lightning flashes or increasing wind.
- Postpone outdoor activities if thunderstorms are likely to occur. Many people struck by lightning are not in the area where rain is occurring.
- If a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, take shelter in a substantial building or in a vehicle with the windows closed. Get out of mobile homes that can blow over in high winds.
- If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be in danger from lightning. If thunder roars, go indoors! The National Weather Service recommends staying inside for at least 30 minutes after the last thunder clap.
- Avoid electrical equipment and telephones. Use battery-powered TVs and radios instead.
- Shutter windows and close outside doors securely. Keep away from windows.
- Do not take a bath, shower or use plumbing.
- If you are driving, try to safely exit the roadway and park. Stay in the vehicle and turn on the emergency flashers until the heavy rain ends. Avoid touching metal or other surfaces that conduct electricity in and outside the vehicle.
- If you are outside and cannot reach a safe building, avoid high ground; water; tall, isolated trees; and metal objects such as fences or bleachers. Picnic shelters, dugouts and sheds are NOT safe.
Another thing people can do to help get ready is to download the free Red Cross apps for mobile devices. Apps are available to help during hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and wildfires, another which puts first aid information at someone's fingertips and another that helps locate Red Cross shelters. The free apps are available for direct download from the Apple or Google Play for Android app stores.

Hi Geoff, Having just read Anton's blog, what are your thoughts for 2011 - will we see you back over here in Europe for another crack at the UTMB (lottery and weather permitting...)?

- Kovas Palubinskas said...
Maybe prerun sections of the trail during the taper and then run the entirety when you get home?

You know it. Copy the materials into the RWFF tying folder and the flies to the flies folder. The new materials you will find at:
Hook -> Wet Fly -> Salmon Treble and Patridge,
Body -> Pittis....
Wings -> Special 1 + 2 and Feathers down,
Hackle -> Pittis....
All the flies are can be found at the Flybox -> Misc Wet Flies
The new Salmon Treble Hook works fine, but you have to make the thread invisible. Press repeatedly on the button "<" to remove it. It's easy.
Now we need some Salmon River.
And now Happy Holiday for all of you. Enjoy your family and don't fish too much.
And many thanks to Paul for this game. I love it.

sample the album:
"With three albums under their belts in less than five years this explosive trio have gone from strength to strength gathering respect from both rock and jazz camps and receiving vivid praise from the likes of Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke and veteran writer Richard Williams, who started his report from the Berlin Jazz Festival with "a late-night gig last week persuaded me that Hedvig Mollestad Trio have found a way to make head banging feel good". Although there is enough riffing here to satisfy the head-bangers, with Black Stabat Mater the trio are venturing into more free and open landscapes, Mollestad truly comes into her own as a solo guitarist as well as a riff-meister previously compared to the likes of Tony Iommi and Jimmy Page."-Rune Grammofon
"Hedvig Mollestad Trio (also referred to as HM3) consists of Hedvig Mollestad (guitar, vocals), Ellen Brekken (bass) and Ivar Loe Bj�rnstad (drums). The trio has received numerous appraising reviews internationally, for both their studio albums and live performances. Their music is inspired by 70s heavyrock, but creates a peculiar musical mixture of ingredients like free jazz, prog and psychedelia. On its website the band describes their own music as "Outgoing & progressive instrumental rock". Since the trio's formation in 2009, HM3 has played many concerts and jazz festivals in both Norway and abroad and they have toured in Europe, Malaysia, Japan and the USA."-WikipediaAlso available on vinyl LP.

well, that's just for trying to hit multiple targets, the whole fingercone thing. for shooting minifigs multiple times, it's a whole 'nother story. luckily for you, it's a system that's even EASIER to remember than the spread-fire one.
to shoot a minifig multiple times, lower the weapon's UR by one, and make a skill roll. for every number ABOVE the UR that you rolled, add an extra point of damage to the shot (as in, you've got a short range weapon with UR 3 and 1d6 damage. a minifig wanting autofire would lower the UR to 2 and then roll skill to see how good he is at it. let's say he rolls a 5: 5 - 2 is 3, so he does 1d6 + 3 damage). also, any minifig within 1" of the target takes normal weapon damage, and on a critical fail the weapon is out of ammo and must be reloaded.
That, basically, is the summation of the billingsly rule version for automatic fire. Blitzen has a very similar method as Billingsly, but it combines the two firing modes so that instead of having two ways to shoot, there's a much more customizable, single way to shoot. i'm still not sure who's rules i prefer.
