Ever since it ceased to produce electricity in 1983, Battersea Power Station has been an icon in search of a purpose. It is a good thing that the original architect, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, gave it such a dignified design as his cathedral of industry has had to contend with many ignoble propositions over the years.
In 1984, it was going to be a 'museum of industrial heritage', complete with a full-sized replica of the Crystal Palace and zeppelins moored outside. In 1986, the owner of Alton Towers announced he would turn it into a giant theme park — a brochure showed a technicolour pleasure dome, featuring a 'Journey into Tomorrow', a British Empire ride and an Olde Worlde Shopping Mall.
Subsequent architects dreamed of a psychedelic Las Vegas-style hotel, a permanent home for the Cirque du Soleil, various sub-species of shopping mall and, recently, a new stadium for Chelsea ('The Power Station' has a nice ring for a football ground). Since none ever came to pass, last year Boris' favourite architect Sir Terry Farrell (of MI5 fame) submitted a sort of 'we give up!' plan on behalf of the architectural community. He proposed turning the site into an urban park.
Such is the long history of failure and bankruptcy that it seems a miracle that three decades after its twin turbines ceased to turn, Battersea Power Station is coming to life again, thanks to the Malaysian consortium who bought the site last year. The iconic chimneys will be the centrepiece of an £8 billion 'multi-use regeneration project' spread over 39 acres, providing 25,000 jobs. The developers promise to create a 'new town centre', a 'genuine community' and 'cultural hub', serviced by a new branch of the Northern Line (extending from Kennington to Nine Elms and Battersea, and increasing capacity by 35 per cent). What the plans lack in fluorescent roller coasters — 'new town centre' means a mix of residential, retail and business spaces — they gain in realism.
'It's happening, that's the key thing,' says Robert Tincknell, CEO of the new Battersea Power Station Development Company, as a PowerPoint projection of the plans dances over his pinstripes. 'We're building the park now, we'll be starting work on the power station itself in the autumn. To be going from buying the site last September to designing it, and launching it, is pretty huge progress.'
Already, the building site outside is filled with men moving mounds of earth. Londoners who are used to seeing those four chimneys looming in the distance will be able to get a closer glimpse as soon as May, when a new temporary park by the Thames hosts part of the Chelsea Fringe festival, an informal offshoot of the Flower Show. Meanwhile, a glass showroom has been built for prospective residents, who will move in by 2016/17.
The development comes from a 2010 master-plan by the NY-Lon architect Rafael Viñoly, whose Walkie Talkie tower is currently going up on Fenchurch Street. Viñoly's first plan, from 2008, included a 300m-high glass funnel, which was discreetly erased after an outcry. For the revised plan, he decided nothing should overshadow the power station itself. Consequently, the view from the Thames is protected, while new streets from the south are curved to dramatise the approach to the great building.
The details of phase one will be orchestrated by the Manchester firm Ian Simpson Architects. Simpson's design includes a new, swooping block of luxury flats to the west of the station (with internal balconies, indoor trees and a residents' club kitted out by David Linley), plus 100,000sq ft of shops, cafés, restaurants, a gym and a theatre, as well as the public park. After a fanfare of publicity earlier this year, £600 million worth of flats — from a £343,000 studio to a £6 million penthouse — were sold off-plan within three days, with contracts exchanged on all 800 properties within three weeks. Estate agents are already speaking of the 'Battersea bounce' to describe the effect on property prices in the surrounding area.
Still, since those who bought them won't be able to move in for at least three years, it does make you wonder what sort of a 'community' these keen investors will engender. And if all this activity was enabled by the pension funds of Malaysian state workers, well, that's just how you have to get business done in 2013.
The consortium from Kuala Lumpur bought the site for £400 million from the administrators, after the previous owners — Real Estate Opportunities (REO), controlled by the Irish company Treasury Holdings — went into debt. The consensus is the Malaysians got a good deal. The Irish developers had paid £400 million for the site in 2006 but the Malaysians had the benefit of Viñoly's masterplan, which was approved by all the relevant bodies in 2010. It is thought to be the largest ever planning consent granted in Central London.
The consortium consists of SP Setia (Malaysia's largest property group), Sime Darby (a palm oil plantation owner) and the Employees' Provident Fund (the state pension fund). 'Essentially, it's a Malaysian government project in the centre of London,' says Tincknell, who was previously the managing director of Treasury Holdings. When I raise an eyebrow, he reassures me. His new bosses have been active in the London property market for years. Moreover the Malaysian pension fund is one of the most esteemed in the world and is looking for a secure long-term investment rather than a quick profit.
I ask Ian Simpson (whose penthouse in Manchester contains a 48th-floor internal olive grove) whether Londoners should be concerned that another part of the capital has been sold to foreign investors. After all, we already have Little Doha (Knightsbridge) and Moscow on Thames (Chelsea Harbour). 'I can share those concerns, but it's all to do with timing,' says Simpson. 'The first phase has allowed billions to be invested in the site. It proves there's demand out there. It's been 30 years and it's needed something to trigger it. If it means a few hundred apartments have been sold off-plan to do that, then it's a worthwhile investment.'
Who bought the flats? 'We have endeavoured, where possible, to get owner-occupiers,' says Tincknell. 'That's what we need if we're going to create a community.' He later confirms that 35-40 per cent were bought by foreign investors — 'you need that to get the development going' — but they were marketed in the UK before interest was drummed up in Dubai and Hong Kong. Besides, even if they were bought by investors, he says, they will end up being rented to Londoners, which will help create a community, too. 'We're becoming much more European in that way — young couples are staying renting all their lives.'
Not always through choice. 'Well, quite, but is that such a bad thing?' Well, if your rent is lining the pockets of a property speculator, it can feel like it. Don't you have an obligation to provide 500 affordable homes? 'Yes. But because everybody recognises the financial challenges of developing the power station and extending the Northern Line, we were allowed to put our affordable homes into phase five.' When is phase five due? '2026, I think.'
Still, such is the London property market — and £8 billion of private investment, 25,000 jobs, a Northern Line extension, acres of public space and a commendably eco-friendly masterplan for a site that has lain dormant for 30 years are not to be dismissed, says Simpson. 'London is one of the world's greatest safe havens. Areas like Nine Elms and Wandsworth can benefit from that. All that foreign money doesn't have to go into a safe deposit box — the fact that it is affecting the infrastructure has much wider benefits for Londoners rather than just the individuals who are investing. The only reason it's happened is that residential values in London have got to such a level that you can afford to do virtually anything with the proceeds. You can pay for a new Tube station and for the restoration of an iconic landmark and still make a profit. But you need deep pockets to be able to think in such a long-term way. The commercial Irish developers were very much about making as much money as they could and then getting out.'
Anyway, even if most of us won't be able to live there, we will be able to take our leisure there. Later phases of the development include a tree-lined boulevard, a linear park, a hotel and a twin-level shopping street. Tincknell would like the area to become a fashion hub, attracting studios and agencies into the spaces under the railway arches, and offering unique shops. 'We'd love to get, say, the coolest fashion label in Venezuela to open its first shop in Europe here — I mean, why not?' he says.
And at the centre of it all is the power station, which covers six acres. While previous designs have sought to carve up the behemoth, demolishing the roof and walls, the current plan makes a virtue of it. (Actually, there was little choice, since the station has been Grade-II listed since 1980, upgraded to Grade-II* in 2007, with protected views from the river.)
'For years, the architectural world said it was the power station that was dragging the whole thing down,' says Tincknell as we drive towards the site. 'That is complete rubbish. The power station is the key to making this project work. We wouldn't have sold 800 apartments in three weeks if we didn't have that internationally recognisable brand.'
The power station has gained a unique place in British iconography — from the famous Pink Floyd Animals cover (shot in 1976), to the dystopian film Children of Men (2006) and even the replica used in last year's Olympic opening ceremony. Up close, it is still more compelling. The brickwork subtly modulates as it rises 18 storeys. It took more than 20 years to complete construction in the first place and there is a fascinating contrast between the elegant Italian marble tiling in Turbine Hall A (completed in 1935) and the utilitarian 'Keep Calm and Carry On' quality to Turbine Hall B (completed in 1953). As we ascend the southwest chimney in a hoist, I note the modulation in the floors, as well as the nesting birds who have bespattered what remains of the roof.
'We don't want to polish it up too much,' says Tincknell. 'We want to make it safe and create some smart new spaces. But you want to be able to demonstrate the journey. There's some great graffiti here — it would be cool to be able to leave that.' The initial stabilisation work will make it safe for the public, but it will not get its full makeover until phase two fits it out with offices, retail spaces, conference facilities, banqueting suites and — possibly — a gig venue. Conservationists have long feared that the four iconic chimneys, in danger of falling to pieces, will be sacrificed, but I am reassured that they will be rebuilt according to the original plans. They may even pipe out water vapour, a by-product from the eco-fuel generator planned for the basement.
It's only when you get this high that you see how the whole thing fits together. To the west are Wembley Stadium and the control tower at Heathrow; to the northeast, Parliament and St Paul's. The bends in the Thames make London's topography hard to grasp, but Battersea is more central than you might think. When the development of the surrounding Nine Elms area is complete, the South Bank will extend from Battersea Park, past the new American Embassy, all the way to Butler's Wharf. That's a distance of nearly three miles, the same as the Left Bank of the Seine in Paris. There is 'value' here, depending on how you define it — the flats were sold at £750-£1,500 per sq ft, which compares favourably with £2,500 per sq ft across the river in Chelsea.
Behind the sales patter, I sense a sincere desire to create a textured piece of the city, without the soulless concrete precincts that have characterised similar developments in the past. As Tincknell drives me to Sloane Square Tube, we pass Flanagan's old Irish pub and Battersea Dogs Home. I wonder what all that shiny glass and steel will do for them.
'We definitely want to be an integrated part of the community. We don't want to be an enclave for rich people,' he says. 'It's good news for the people of East Battersea.' He hopes local businesses will tender for contracts, and there are vague plans for a vegetable box scheme involving the adjacent New Covent Garden market. 'We're the Glastonbury of London,' he says. 'You walk round Glastonbury now and it's full of local enterprise. It's really regenerated the local economy.'
It's quite a thought. And if it means Battersea Power Station, that improbable survivor, can power Londoners' imaginations for generations to come, then it may just be worth getting excited about. ES

Google finally acknowledges that when advertisers are seedy small businesses the publisher has greater responsibility in accepting such advertisements
Consumer groups have been complaining for years about proliferation of fraud ads on Google -- and at least one organization has demanded that search engine giant donate its proceeds from the tainted ads to consumers who have lost their homes. This is a controversy relating to bogus mortgage ads, which have appeared on Google AdWords, according to ConsumerAffairs.com. This brings us to the basic question, who is responsible for the ramifications of the ads- the advertiser or the publisher? Given the size and influence of Google, the answer is clearly the publisher. However, sometimes Google's "Do no evil" mantra seems to really be shorthand for, "Don't get caught helping others do evil."
Now, ConsumerAffairs.com said that a federal agency is opening a criminal investigation of at least 85 companies that use Google AdWords to sell mortgage modification services. Google saw the light and said it is suspending more than 500 advertisers who claim to provide services for troubled homeowners.
Unlike newspapers, magazines and broadcast outlets, Google imposes few restrictions on advertisers, relying on guidelines that are often more technical than substantive. The automated AdWords system tries to block certain types of objectionable ads, Google has said, but in most cases, there is no actual human review of an advertisement. Google and other online ad outlets argue that it would be too expensive for them to manually review ads or vet would-be clients. However, not doing so leaves consumers ripe for fleecing, consumer groups have long charged.
ConsumerAffairs.com said that for years, the search engine giant looked other way as online pharmacies used Google AdWords programme to illegally sell prescription drugs online, often without a prescription or across borders. Google recently paid $500 million, one of the largest forfeitures in US history, to settle federal allegations related to the drug ads.
"Google should never have published these ads, but its executives turned a blind eye to these fraudsters for far too long because of the substantial revenue such advertising generates," said John Simpson, director of Consumer Watchdog's Privacy Project to ConsumerAffairs.com
"The company cannot be allowed to benefit from these ill-gotten gains. Google must donate the money to aid homeowners who were victimized because of its callous quest for profits. Google is highly motivated to turn a blind eye to all sorts of dubious advertising on its search engine because AdWords is such a cash cow," Mr Simpson told to ConsumerAffairs.com.
"The first place many homeowners turn for help in lowering their mortgage is the Internet through online search engines, and that's precisely where they are being taken advantage of and targeted," said Christy Romero, Deputy Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP) in the report. "Web ads that offer a false sense of hope may not be legitimate and can end up costing homeowners their home."
Romero said SIGTARP has initially shut down 85 alleged online mortgage modification scams that prey on vulnerable homeowners through web banners and other web advertisements.
According to ConsumerAffairs.com and Consumer Watchdog, Google processed more than 74,000 monthly searches on the phrase 'stop foreclosure', with ads alongside costing an average of $8.29 per click, for a monthly total of $613,460, a figure one knowledgeable Internet executive who spoke on the condition of anonymity said was far too low.
The most common schemes included asking homeowners for an up-front fee and telling homeowners to stop paying their mortgage and to cease all contact with their lender. The schemes included diverting mortgage payments to the scammers, transferring property deeds, and releasing sensitive personal financial information. In some instances, the Web sites claimed to be affiliated with the U.S. government through the use of a government seal or name similar to a government agency.
Google's suspension of these advertising relationships will have a "dramatic and immediate impact" on the ability of scam artists to seek out and victimize unwitting homeowners, Romero said to consumeraffairs.com. Of course, those already victimized by the scams might say the impact would have been a lot more dramatic if the ads had never been allowed to appear in the first place.
Exporters pointed out that buyers are even going to the extent of finding faults with products and have cited the poor economic scenario in their countries to get the maximum price reduction
Chandigarh: With Indian exporters witnessing 'unexpected' gains due to rupee depreciation against the US dollar, global buyers have started putting pressure on them to offer discounts of 5%-10% on shipments, citing recessionary conditions or by finding fault with products, reports PTI.
Not wanting to 'sour' their trade relations with buyers by getting into any argument amid a weak global economic sentiment, most Punjab exporters working in different industry verticals—including garments, sports goods and light engineering items—have begun to accept the 'wishes' of importers.
The rupee, which has been Asia's worst-performing currency against the greenback, has fallen by a whopping 15% since July this year and is presently hovering above Rs51 a dollar.
"The excitement of the depreciating rupee against the dollar is short-lived, because buyers have started pressurising us to offer the maximum discount on export of products in view of dollar appreciation, which will yield more realisation in rupee terms," Wool and Woollen Export Promotion Council chairman Ashok Jaidka told PTI today.
Exporters said buyers are projecting that the rupee will soon depreciate to Rs54 per US dollar and have asked for a discount ranging between 20%-25% for booking new orders after factoring in the projected rupee value.
"But after hard bargaining, they finally settle at an 8%-10% discount," he said.
Exporters pointed out that buyers are even going to the extent of finding faults with products and have cited the poor economic scenario in their countries to get the maximum price reduction.
"It is buyers from Europe and USA, Middle East, African countries who are demanding a price cut," said Engineering Export Promotion Council regional chairman SC Ralhan.
In the case of hand tools and other light engineering items, Punjab exporters are giving a 2%-5% discount to buyers, exporters said. Punjab's annual exports amount to over Rs13,000 crore.
While there is some 'forced' reduction of product prices, in the sports good sector, there are internal arrangements between exporters and importers whereby exporters automatically decrease the rates of products after the exchange rate breaches a negotiated mark.
"We have to reduce our product rates once exchange rate goes beyond certain mark fixed with our buyer and it goes vice-versa when rupee appreciates," a Jalandhar-based sports goods-maker disclosed, seeking anonymity.
He said buyers would always want their suppliers to reduce the price after they come to know that exchange rate fluctuation is giving good 'returns' to exporters.
However, for some exporters, the fall in the rupee value against the greenback is not seen as a boost in view of a consistent increase in input costs.
"Depreciating rupee is not a thing to cherish for us as input costs like steel have gone up substantially. Moreover, discontinuation of Duty Entitlement Pass Book Scheme was also a dampener for exports," said Mr Ralhan.
The industry is seeking an early decision on the sugar export policy as global prices are softening and a further delay in announcing the policy would make exports unviable
New Delhi: The meeting of the Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) on Food scheduled for today to decide on granting permission for sugar exports has been postponed and is likely to be held tomorrow, reports PTI.
Last week, food minister KV Thomas had said the EGoM headed by finance minister Pranab Mukherjee would meet on 21st November to decide on sugar exports in the 2011-12 marketing year, which commenced last month.
A senior food ministry official said, "The EGoM meeting has been postponed for tomorrow."
Sources said the ministry had yet not firmed up its proposal on the quantity of sugar that mills will be allowed to export.
The industry has been demanding permits for the export of 4 million tonnes of sugar in the 2011-12 marketing year (October-September), as the country's production is estimated at 25-26 million tonnes against annual domestic demand of 22 million tonnes.
In the previous marketing year, the government had allowed 2.6 million tonnes of sugar exports, of which 1.5 million tonnes was through the open general licence (OGL) in three equal tranches.
The industry is seeking an early decision on the sugar export policy as global prices are softening and a further delay in announcing the policy would make exports unviable.
Sugar production in India—the world's second-largest producer and biggest consumer—rose to 24.3 million tonnes in 2010-11 from nearly 19 million tonnes in the previous year.
In the current marketing year, the government has pegged output at 25 million tonnes, while industry has estimated production at 26 million tonnes.

So here's a quirky little nighttime oddity that can strike terror into your soul.
Sleep paralysis. It's the mechanism that stops you from acting out your dreams. It happens to you every single time you go to sleep, and you've probably never even been aware of it.
There's a lot to say about sleep paralysis. One the one hand, it's a very normal bodily process. One the other, it can be a terrifying sleep disorder. And on the third hand (yes, that's three hands now) it's the gateway to the lucid dream world. It covers quite the spectrum of emotions.
So, what causes you to become aware of sleep paralysis? What should you do to avoid triggering the horrific hallucinations associated with it? And how might you harness this state in order to enter a lucid dream?
The basic cause of sleep paralysis is REM atonia:
REM atonia is essential for healthy sleep, else you'd wreak havoc in your neighborhood by acting our your dreams on a nightly basis. This is no good for you, and no good for your neighbors.
As you fall asleep each night, the electrical nerve impulses are cut off between your muscles and your brain. Your brain can still tell your body to do stuff (such as run away from Saruman's dark army in yet another orc-fueled nightmare) but your body won't respond.
So far, so good. But what happens if you wake up and the REM atonia remains in place, albeit only for a few seconds? This is when we trip into the territory of sleep paralysis.
Do orcs dream? Yes, they dream of you. Running away in terror.
You can become aware of sleep paralysis when:
The natural reaction to waking up paralyzed is fear. Lots and lots of fear.
Unfortunately, in this borderland sleep state, it prompts the half-dreaming mind to conjure up nightmarish images to "explain" what is happening.
A vivid hallucination can ensue, featuring the sensation of being fully paralyzed while a baddie enters your bedroom and crushes your chest or tries to pull you out of bed. Sometimes the presence may just stand and observe while you float out of bed, as if caught in a tractor beam.
Sleep paralysis doesn't always invoke hallucinations, but if it does, it's common to see witches, ghosts, shadow people, aliens, angels, fairies and even cartoon characters. More in this in a moment.
How common is sleep paralysis? Estimates vary, but it's likely you'll run into sleep paralysis at least once in your life. For those who experience it nightly, it's classed as a sleep disorder.
It's more likely to occur if you're under stress or have disturbed sleep cycles due to shift work, narcolepsy, sleep deprivation, jet lag, and other sleep disorders.
You can also induce sleep paralysis with certain lucid dreaming techniques.
And galantamine is also well known for it's ability to make you aware of REM atonia
But that's a good thing - because with awareness, this state becomes your spring board into lucidity.
If sleep paralysis is just a dream, then why does it feel so real?
Some of the effects ARE real. This state is a merger of waking consciousness and the dream world. It's a bizarre mind trick. Here's what I've found through research and my personal experiences:
This is not a new condition. Sleep paralysis, under various guises, has existed in folklore from many different cultures for centuries - perhaps millennia.
In Japan, they call it "kanashibar". In Newfoundland, it's known as "the old hag" who visits you in the night. In China, they know it as "ghost oppression". Even artists have depicted this ghoulish night-time disorder: see The Nightmare by John Henry Fuseli.
It's no surprise that native folklore shapes the nature of sleep paralysis hallucinations.
In the US, it was only after flying saucers were popularized that people reported vivid alien abduction experiences, where aliens paralyzed and probed them in their beds at night.
In Mexico, more than 90% of teenagers know the phrase "a dead body climbed on top of me" to describe the nightmare entity. And in African culture, it's known as "the devil riding your back" where demons have sex with people in their sleep.
This all tells us that sleep paralysis is a common human condition. What's more, the hallucinations are shaped by your expectations.
Now I'm going to show you how to stop sleep paralysis in its tracks - or to evolve it into a lucid dream scenario. It's good to have both of these tricks up your sleeve.
If you're a chronic sufferer of sleep paralysis, then prevention is going to be better than a cure. You're likely already predisposed to sleep paralysis so try to avoid anything which messes with your sleep cycles. We're talking nightshift work, overtiredness, jet lag and extreme sleep deprivation.
It's also really important to avoid stress and anxiety, particularly before sleep. If you're suffering from chronic stress, attend to that and your sleep paralysis could go away on its own.
If you wake up in the night and already in the throes of sleep paralysis, here are some tips to cut it short:
Maintain these goals for the duration of the sleep paralysis and stay on top of any fear.
Sometimes you will find it wears off in a few seconds. Other times it may appear to get the better of you - but stay strong and focus on those tiny movements. You own this.
As soon as your brain receives adequate signals that you are awake, it will shutdown the REM atonia. You will quickly be able to move your whole body again, and the hallucinations will disappear in an instant.
Did you know that lucid dreamers sometimes use supplements to induce sleep paralysis on purpose as a stepping stone to lucid dreams?
Uniquely, this borderland sleep state acts like a gateway to the world of conscious dream control. You're already halfway to a lucid dream because your body is, technically, asleep while your mind is consciously aware. These are also hallmarks of a lucid dream.
The only difference? You lack full immersion into dream imagery. In sleep paralysis, your eyes are open (or part open) and you're "stuck" in your real physical body as opposed to frolicking through a meadow in your limitless dream body.
So the answer is to focus your awareness on re-entering that dream space. On having your brain coordinate movements with a dream body and experiencing that internally generated dream world.
The actually process of transforming sleep paralysis into a lucid dream is simple - but does require some detailed explanation if we're looking at all the possibilities.
Read my tutorial on Wake Induced Lucid Dreams (WILDs) as well as Out of Body Experiences (OBEs) to get a complete understanding of this process.
Finally, remember that sleep paralysis, though sometimes startling, can't hurt you. It's a vivid experience of the mind and you can put it to good use. I know I do.
Lucid dreaming, like any advanced skill, requires a considerable investment of time, energy and dedication in order to master. Yet, as a lucidity researcher, I'm regularly asked by those new to the subject, for an easy and low-effort technique. Something that
Members of our lucid dream forum have been asking how to create dream characters in lucid dreams. The most common problem is having characters who look nothing like they should. Or they seem disinterested in your company. Or they fail to show up on command altogether. So, how to combat this? It's a matter of finding creative solutions that bypass logical expectations.
To lucid dream, I recommend being able to remember at least one vivid dream per night. That will boost your self awareness in dreams (making lucidity more likely) and also means you can actually remember your lucid dreams. Which is nice. Here are four detailed tips on how to remember your dreams more frequently. And if you don't think you dream at all - trust me, you almost certainly do. It takes an extraordinarily rare sleep disorder to deprive someone of dream sleep.
It is estimated that these wise and wily Indians have been using mugwort in their healing and ritual practices for 13,000 years, where it is known as the 'dream sage'. They use the herb to promote good dreams, which they consider an essential aspect of normal human functioning! But that's not all...
Silene Capensis has been used for millennia by the Xhosa shaman of the river valleys in the eastern cape of South Africa, where it is known as Undela Ziimhlophe or 'white paths'. It's fragrant white flowers open only at night, when they emit a fragrant and almost hypnotising aroma. Also known as African Dream Herb or Ubulawu, Silene Capensis induces spectacularly vivid dreams - yet has never entered the mainstream and remains a fringe taste within western culture.
Experts agree that everyone is capable of having lucid dreams. Dreaming itself is a normal function of the mind. We all dream every night, even if we don't remember. And we all achieve conscious awareness while awake every single day. So what does it mean to combine these states? Why, the amazing ability to have conscious - or lucid - dreams. Sounds simple, doesn't it? So why do I keep hearing from people who say they can't achieve their first lucid dream?

Hydraulic Resistance Determination in Marsh Wetlands
- Cite this article as:
- Tsihrintzis, V.A. & Madiedo, E.E. Water Resources Management (2000) 14: 285. doi:10.1023/A:1008130827797
Restoration of degraded and creation of constructed wetlands require proper hydraulic design. Of particular importance is the accurate determination of flow resistancefactors and the proper use of resistance equations, somethingessential for computing basic hydraulic parameters, such as depth and velocity, and for modeling the hydrodynamics of the system. In this study, selected previous theoretical, laboratoryand field studies on wetlands and vegetated-channel hydraulics are reviewed, and existing data from these studies are extractedand compiled in a common database. Resistance determining parameters are discussed, and results are summarized and presented, aiming at obtaining laws governing the flow, and deriving values for frictional factors under various flow scenarios. Graphs of Darcy-Weisbach f or Manning's n versus appropriate hydraulic parameters are presented.A modified n-VR graph is also presented, appropriate for marsh preliminary hydraulic analyses and design. These graphs also indicate missing information and can guide in future research.

The hot theory here in the Workers' Gymnasium is that you might just be able to stand in the middle of the ring, while dressed in the full ceremonial robes of the Dalai Lama, deliver a speech on the need for Tibetan liberty and then walk unscathed into the street. Who, after all, is going to notice? Not, probably, an Olympic boxing judge.
Billy Joe Saunders, the 18-year-old Romany welterweight from Hertfordshire whom many saw here as a viable contender for gold before he lost yesterday to the Cuban Carlos Banteaux, is the latest to join a legion of critics of the scoring system that was born out of outrage at the judging at the Seoul Olympics in 1988, which made its leading victim the future professional star Roy Jones Jnr. At the current rate of recruitment they might finish up outnumbering the People's Liberation Army.
They will not and cannot be joined, however, by the light welterweight Bradley Saunders, who was plainly the victim of his nerves and the superior approach of the Frenchmen Alexis Vastine when he, too, lost and became the fourth member of the much touted British team to fall: three in the ring and one, Frankie Gavin, because he could not make the weight.
But if the British team have underperformed it is the Olympic judges who are under the heaviest fire here. Though Billy Joe was quick to make the honourable and realistic point that he would probably have lost in any system under the sun, he argued persuasively that myopic scoring had distorted the course of the fight – and forced him into the role of a desperate gambler against a polished, counter-punching Cuban whom he had beaten on points earlier this year.
After losing the decision 6-13, the grandson of a bare-knuckle booth fighter said: "The points didn't go for me today. In the last round I knew I wouldn't get the decision unless I knocked him out. The scoring here is so bad for the Olympics it is unbelievable. Even though I know I've had better days, I still thought my performance was exceptional and I should have won six or seven points with some good body shots. The way it is now, you might as well do fencing if they are going to judge like that."
In his disappointment he was still making a purist's point. If a good fighting rhythm, built around well-delivered body shots, is going to be ignored, if the judges are saying you might as well try to climb through the bedroom than walk purposefully up the stairs, the only option left is a bleak conviction that assessment of amateur boxing at its highest level is plunging through the canvas.
The inevitable consequence if you are a fighter of skill with serious hopes of winning a medal is to employ fast, flashy hands in flurries of head-hunting – and hope that the judges are both watching and honest.
One acute observer, the American trainer Teddy Atlas, is not sure either of those possibilities can be taken for granted. Atlas is no stranger to controversy – he once held a pistol to the young Mike Tyson's head and threatened to pull the trigger if he didn't shape up – and he has always been ferocious about low-quality Olympic officiating.
This week he told America's NBC audience that there were only two possible explanations for some bizarre scoring – incompetence or corruption.
Yesterday he threw more fuel on to the fire here before his television stint. "It is not enough to say that some of the scoring here over the last few days has been outrageous," he said. "It is going beyond that. It's as though they are trying to destroy boxing in the Olympics. Far too many shots aren't even registering. It has become almost physically painful to watch fighters going for what they believe is the chance of their lifetimes, and then seeing the ridiculous results of their efforts flashing up on the TV screen."
If you recite them quickly, the rules of scoring at the Olympics are straight forward enough. In theory, points are awarded for scoring hits by marked parts of the glove to an opponent's body or head. A panel of five judges votes when a point is scored. They have two buttons in front of them, coloured separately for the two boxers. An electronic system flashes up the points. But this only happens when at least three of the judges agree that a points-scoring punch has landed.
When fighters are tied after four two-minute rounds, the bout is decided by countback. The result is a system of win and loss that works against fighters who are supposed to be classically equipped for the old purity of amateur boxing ... and also those with the strong chins, good defensive technique and genuine power that make them more than cash cows for opportunistic promoters before that fateful moment when, say, a tough Mexican comes out of the shadows.
Ironically, in view of Saunders' distress at the marking of his own fight, his team-mate Tony Jeffries survived his light-heavyweight collision with Colombia's Eleider Alvarez with some considerable good fortune. The judges had it 5-5 at the end of the fight and Jeffries progressed to the quarter-finals on the count-back system, when the marks of two judges, the most generous and most stingy, are removed.
Another irony is that Jeffries – who confessed to a serious build-up of tension after his long wait for a taste of action – he had a bye in the first round – is exactly the kind of fighter Atlas has in mind when he talks about the destruction of Olympic hopes. Jeffries bought a van equipped with a kitchen and sold hamburgers outside the ground of his hometown club Sunderland to help fund his Olympic campaign and says: "Winning an Olympic medal has been my dream since I was six years old."
Yesterday it was a hope when, with the score tied, Alvarez landed two of the cleanest uppercuts you are ever likely see. Only one registered on the scoreboard.
Ireland's light-heavyweight Kenny Egan sailed to a 10-2 victory over the Turk Bahram Muzaffer, but both he and his trainer, Billy Walsh, complained bitterly over the judging. Said Walsh: "In the end it didn't matter, but at one point Kenny clearly landed six clean hits and not one of them registered."
The fighter spent a day in the Olympic village studying videos of fights here. He said: "I was desperate to get some idea of what they were basing the scoring on, but after hours of looking at that screen I still had no idea. It's bewildering and it could have terrible results ... like the wrong fighters winning medals."
Bradley Saunders at least returns to his native Durham without any of that angst. After losing 11-7 to the Frenchman he made the rather staggering statement that a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. "I feel the pressure has gone after all these months of working for a medal and I'm looking to relaxing at being at home with my family. I didn't do my homework and my tactics didn't work."
The British head trainer, Terry Edwards, was as confused by the statement as when he tried to analyse the scoring in the earlier defeat of a Saunders boy. "We had done plenty of homework on a fighter that Bradley had already beaten, but he was not relaxed tonight. The French kid has quality and we could have no complaints."
Earlier Edwards had swelled the tide of criticism against the judges when backing Billy Joe in his claim that he had been denied six points. "This might sound like sour grapes," he said, "but we are not complaining about the result. We're saying that there is a real problem with the scoring. It's causing confusion. Sometimes you just don't know what's happening."
It is a poor foundation for the boxing competition which once made such names as Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, and is suffering still more erosion here. For some time the sport has been under pressure in politically correct Olympic circles and old fight men like Atlas and Edwards are nursing a rising fear.
It is that the worst enemy is within – judging which is ruining too many bouts and breaking too many fighting hearts.
The scoring system Losing the point
* Five judges assesses the scores of each boxer according to the number of hits obtained by each. Each hit must, without being blocked or guarded, land directly with the knuckle part of the closed glove of either hand on any part of the front or side of the head or body above the belt. Swings landing as described above are scoring hits.
* A point is scored for every valid hit when at least three of the five judges simultaneously record a punch that in their opinion has been delivered correctly to the target area.
* Referees and judges attend workshops, and must display a commendable level of competence during the practical workshop at the President Cup, which was held in May.

Hoshiarpur, Sep 16 (UNI) Terming the widespread attacks on Christians as state-sponsored communal terrorism, the Dal Khalsa, a radical Sikh organisation has urged the Union Home Ministry to put the Bajrang Dal and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on the watch list of organisations indulging in violent acts.
Addressing mediapersons here today, Dal Khalsa president H S Dhami said the recent events in Orissa highlighted the use of violence by these two organizations against Christians.
In a letter to Union Home Minister Shivraj Patel he said scores of churches have been either burnt or razed and about a dozen persons had lost their lives in the hands of frenzy mobs led by activists of these two organizations.
Mr Dhami reminded the Home Minister said that in the recent past many organisations representing minority voices were banned under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 on the slightest pretext that their actions seriously undermined national security.
"The moot question is why the above said Act has not been invoked against these groups that were responsible for torching of churches", the Dal Khalsa leader said in his his letter released at the media conference., Refering to the anti Sikh riots in Delhi in 1984 and the communal violence in Gujarat, the letter said " these incident reminds us that the minorities in India are children of the lesser gods".

In Victoria, BC, Canada, a similar debate raged a few years ago about a proposal to develop a shopping mall, downtown, that would consume an entire city block of elegant heritage buildings like the Merc. The solution, which didn't please everyone, but turned out way more successful than anyone hoped, was to recreate the facades of all the old buildings around the perimeter of the new. I invite you to Google the images of the Victoria Eaton Centre (or the Victoria Bay Centre as it is now called) to see how well it turned out. It's faux heritage, but it looks great none the less.
Why not add a wilderness restoration tax to the price of each mountain bike? Or require a wilderness bike license for those who want to bike in a wilderness area? Far too many bikers have a self-righteous sense of entitlement when it comes to public property, so the best way to reach them is via their pocketbook.
And where do the custodians of the wilderness stand on this? Are they having difficulty understanding what 'mechanized' means? I'm sure they know the word 'sinecure'.
Maybe what is needed is a "Conditioned Taste Aversion" additive that will discourage humans from eating beef ...
Possible solutions to the corner-crossing problem:
1. ask the landowner or landowners for an easement for a 4-foot wide public footpath across the corner.
2. expropriate the nine square feet needed to establish the 4-foot wide public footpath.
3. require the landowner(s) to provide access as a condition for leasing the public land.

The Chopsticks Of The Future
A couple months ago everyone was flipping out over Vessyl, a cup that, when you poured liquid into it told you what the liquid was. It's a weird idea, because I would say 99 times out of 100 I am the one pouring whatever I'm drinking into the cup I'm drinking it from, so I know what it is. Even after watching the concept video a few times, I had a hard time figuring out whether it was a joke or not. Even though the folks behind Vessyl tout its ability to determine your "prime hydration" (a term they made up), unless it detects drugs that are slipped into your drink by sounding an alarm and pepper spraying the culprit, it's hard to imagine how this thing would be all that useful to anyone. But that didn't stop it from raising $3 million dollars.
So when I read about Smart Chopsticks, I thought "well, we've met Vessyl's spiritual successor." The fact that the spokesperson for Baidu, the company behind the smart chopsticks said that they""began as something of an April Fool's prank" didn't inspire much confidence either. But honestly, I'm kind of sold on the utility of these.
You see, China, the target market for the Smart Chopsticks doesn't have a food regulatory infrastructure like the United States does, and as The Wall Street Journal mentioned, China has seen a number of food related crises over the past couple of years "from toxic milk to glow-in-the-dark pork. Earlier this month, a cook at a hotel in the tourist town of Hangzhou was put on trial for painting food with "inedible pigment" to make it look more appealing." So, while I'm less interested in learning the provenance of the cooking oil my dumplings are fried in, I'd be very interersted in whether the meat within is contaminated, or spoiled or there is some other, non-food element in them.
So after reading about them, I found that these smart chopsticks actually probably have a lot of cool uses. Still not sold on Vessyl.

Buoyed by opinion polls which suggest he will be Prime Minister after today's general election, John Howard, leader of the Liberal Party, embarked on a barrage of radio and television interviews yesterday to convince swinging voters in critical seats to end the 13-year era of Labor government.
As his strategists delivered the results of private party polls, which predicted that the conservative Liberals and their junior coalition partners, the National Party, would pick up more than the seven seats they need to topple Labor, Mr Howard displayed the solemn air of a leader who sensed that the elusive prize which he has pursued for 22 years in politics was finally within his grasp.
For his part, Paul Keating,fighting to win an unprecedented sixth term for Labor, ended his campaign the way he began it, as the underdog. Not for him the radio and television studios of Sydney, from where Mr Howard disseminated his message that Labor had left Australia with record foreign debt and youth unemployment.
The Prime Minister was in Tasmania yesterday, after spending the last three days flying thousands of miles from Cairns, in north Queensland, to Adelaide, Canberra and Melbourne, shoring up votes in Labor's most vulnerable seats and calling for a fresh mandate to continue economic and social reforms. He asked Australians to compare his vision of a new, Australian republic, economically engaged in the Asia-Pacific region, with the "philosophically stranded" coalition. "Did we build a new standard, have we created a change?" he asked. "Or do we just nod gently off back to sleep again like we did in the Rip Van Winkle years?"
Mr Keating refused to concede the game was up. And, as commentators discovered three years ago, after writing him off under similar circumstances at the last election, he could be right. Australians have rejected incumbent governments only four times since the Second World War, in 1949, 1972, 1975 and 1983.
Voters may be fed up with the Labor government, convincedit has run out of ideas and turned off by what they perceive as Mr Keating's arrogance. But the government is not swamped by scandal or smelling of decay.
Mr Howard is making his second bid to become prime minister, after failing to dislodge Labor under Bob Hawke in 1987. If Mr Howard has a vision for Australia in the next millennium, he has failed to convey it during the campaign. That explains the grudging endorsement of the coalition in the latest opinion polls yesterday.
Having started the campaign five weeks ago trailing the coalition by 11 points, Labor closed the gap in the three main polls to finish two, three and six points behind respectively. A nationwide poll published in a Brisbane newspaper yesterday gave Labor a one-point lead, the first poll to put Labor ahead. Mr Keating maintained a lead over Mr Howard as preferred prime minister in most polls.
On election eve, it was difficult to measure the impact of the "forged- letters affair", a sensational development on Wednesday in which a senior Labor minister released letters apparently damaging to the coalition, but which later turned out to be fakes. The Labor Party yesterday issued a statement to federal police investigating the affair claiming the letters originated in Liberal Party ranks. Liberals accused Labor staff of forging them.
Three of Australia's leading newspapers, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Age, of Melbourne, and the Australian Financial Review, called for a coalition victory yesterday.But two influential newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch went against the grain. The Australian, his national flagship, declined to endorse either side, while the Daily Telegraph, a mass-circulation Sydney tabloid, backed Mr Keating.
While most papers splashed headlines that predicted Mr Keating's defeat, the Murdoch papers provided upbeat coverage of the final hours of Mr Keating's campaign.Reuse content
