The Russian telecommunications market continued to demonstrate moderate growth until October 2008 when the global economic crisis hit Russia. Growth was driven in part by Russia's steady economic performance, the need to upgrade the telecommunications infrastructure throughout the country, and the continued interest of investors in the telecommunications market. In 2007, the Russian telecommunications market reached $38.5 billion in sales. In 2008, the market was forecast to grow 14% and total $44 billion. The sector's average annual growth for 2004-2008 was 20%, but market dynamics are now influenced by the economic crisis and strong US dollar.
The cellular segment accounts for more than 50% of the telecommunications market, and remains very concentrated with 90% of total revenue earned by three major national cellular operators: MobileTeleSystems (MTS), VimpelCom and MegaFon. By December 2008, the total number of registered SIM-cards in Russia reached 178 million, a 5% increase over 2007. According to market experts, the number of active mobile subscribers in the first quarter of 2008 was 56% of total SIM card holders, leaving good potential for cellular market growth. According to the Institute of Modern Development, mobile operators' revenues amounted to $21 billion in 2008. The average revenue per user (ARPU) by the end of 2008 had increased almost 40% to $11, thus motivating mobile operators to look for new technology and/or value-added services, as well as expand into Russia's regions and CIS countries, to increase revenues. Operators are launching sales of iPhones and offering WIMAX and GPS navigation services.
The market for mobile network equipment is one of the largest sub-sectors of the telecommunications equipment market in Russia. Three generations (1G, 2G and 2.5G) of mobile networks are currently represented here. GSM, the standard, covers more than 90% of the cellular market. The remaining 10% is operated in CDMA and DAMPS standards. The Ministry of Information Technologies and Communications reported that the State Radio Frequencies Commission announced on October 23, 2006 its decision to "allocate radio frequency bands 1935-1980MHz, 2010-2025MHz and 2125-2170MHz for the development of mobile IMT-2000/UMTS standard networks in Russia." Three 3G licenses were allocated through tender offerings in accordance with the Commission's decision. As expected, licenses were awarded to Beeline, MTS and MegaFon. The launch of commercial 3G projects in Russia started in late 2007. The potential 3G subscribers' pool for the first half of 2007 is estimated to range from 400,000 to 600,000 and 3G operators expect profits of $50-70 million by the end of the first year. Further development will depend on the cost of voice services and what consumers are willing to pay. The main problem for successful 3G development is the lack of radio frequencies that can be used for this standard. Due to the friction between the Ministry of Defense and cellular operators, 3G projects have not yet been launched in Moscow.
In 2008, the number of internet subscribers increased by 15% reaching 40 million, putting Russia in 11th place among the countries with high internet penetration. The internet market was worth $2.5 billion mainly due to the growth of broadband access, which, at 90%, showed the fastest growth in 2006. Although the broadband market is still not large, the potential is huge; there are currently 2.6 million users, and that number was expected to increase 130% to six million by 2008. The promotion of WIMAX access will increase the number of internet subscribers in the future.
Total 2007 revenue for fixed-line connection services increased 29% to $17.6 billion, up from $13.6 billion in 2006. The process of market liberalization, which was formalized in 2005 and 2006, resulted in 22 long distance licenses being issued in this two-year period. Most recent mergers and acquisitions in telecommunications occurred in the fixed-line segment due to the privatization of federal operators. This privatization has dramatically changed the balance of forces in the market. However, currently only two operators, MTT and Rostelecom, can be considered active market players. MTT is a private company, owned by Systema Holding, while Rostelekom is a state-owned company.
The high growth rate of Russia's telecommunications market has created increased demand for imported products and solutions. Russia currently spends more than $4 billion annually on telecommunications equipment, most of which is imported. The sector remains one of the most rewarding for foreign investors and manufacturers.
Best Prospects/Services
The highest market growth is expected in the broadband access sub-sector. Residential broadband (using Ethernet, ADSL, etc.), now booming in Russia, was a $480 million market in 2007 and a further growth of 30% is expected in 2008. Growth in the regions is lagging Moscow, whose market value is $200 million, but is expected to increase rapidly in the near future. The most promising locations for broadband development are Moscow and the Moscow region, St. Petersburg and other cities in the Northwest Federal District, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Samara and other cities in the Volga Federal District. The new WIMAX technology has already been launched in Moscow and St. Petersburg, which will contribute to further internet penetration.
Paid TV is another locomotive of the Russian telecommunications industry, represented by cable, DHT, and IPTV. This category includes broadband access via DOCSIS and HFC (Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial) technologies. Cable TV networks are being actively developed and are showing steady increases. Cable TV services are mostly implemented by internet providers.
Continued growth in the Russian telecommunications services market will yield business opportunities for U.S. telecommunications equipment suppliers. The best sales prospects are high-speed, broadband technologies, multi-service and multimedia solutions and digital equipment. Companies entering the market should be prepared to compete with major European and Asian equipment manufacturers and deal with a complex regulatory environment.
According to the Federal Special Program of the Education Development for 2006-2010, provisions for IT coverage and internet access in Russian educational institutions, including distance learning, are part of the Federal Program. This initiative may also present opportunities for U.S. companies.

USA TODAY breaks down Saturday's NFC divisional playoff:
•TV announcers: Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston, Tony Siragusa
•Keys to the game: The Cardinals held Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner, who averaged 106.2 rushing yards a game in 2008, to 42 yards Saturday, but that was with significant help from the home crowd as the line fired off the ball a beat ahead of the Atlanta blockers all game. Arizona has been terrible traveling East this season, and it will be up to that defensive line to keep the Cardinals from falling into an early hole they might never dig out of. RB DeAngelo Williams rushed for 108 yards in the Panthers' 27-23 win vs. the Cardinals in Week 8, and he will team with rookie Jonathan Stewart in an effort to wear Arizona down early. The Cardinals have turned their own ground game back over to RB Edgerrin James. The Cardinals did a good job of getting him involved early against Atlanta and must do so again to prevent being slammed in time of possession. QB Kurt Warner threw for 381 yards in the first meeting and will rack up big numbers again, if given some help from the ground game and some time in the pocket. But Arizona could be in trouble if WR Anquan Boldin is limited by a strained hamstring. LT Mike Gandy was solid against Falcons DE John Abraham and draws another crucial assignment against Julius Peppers.
•Matchup to watch — Cardinals CBs Rod Hood and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie vs. Panthers WR Steve Smith: Smith burned the Cardinals for 117 yards and a pair of touchdowns — including a 65-yarder — in the first meeting. That was before Arizona replaced middling veteran Eric Green with super-athletic rookie Rodgers-Cromartie. Rodgers-Cromartie makes mistakes typical of a young cornerback, but he has the recovery speed to compensate for many of those errors and picked off his fifth pass in eight games Saturday. Teams have actually begun to focus more on attacking Hood in recent games. They'll both see time against Smith, whom the Panthers do an excellent job of moving around and putting in motion to prevent defenses from effectively double-teaming him on a consistent basis.
•Fast facts: The Cardinals lost their five regular-season games in the Eastern time zone by a combined 99 points. … The Panthers have won the past five meetings with Arizona dating to 2003. This will be the clubs' first postseason meeting.

To determine in a population of children who underwent a medical examination after alleged sexual assault the proportion who had unmet medical or psychiatric needs.
Retrospective medical record review.
A referral center for alleged child victims of sexual assault in Houston, Tex, from December 1, 2003, through April 30, 2004.
Four hundred seventy-three children (81% girls). Nine children refused all or part of the medical evaluation.
Main Outcome Measure
Diagnoses that warranted intervention at the time of the medical evaluation.
A medical or psychological diagnosis that required intervention as judged by the examiner was made in 123 children (26%) (95% confidence interval, 22%-30%). In 39 children (8% of the total study population) (95% confidence interval, 6%-11%), the diagnosis had the potential to result in significant patient morbidity if not immediately addressed. In contrast, 44 children (9%) (95% confidence interval, 7%-12%) had probable or definite physical or laboratory evidence that supported the allegation of sexual assault.
Among children undergoing a medical evaluation after an alleged sexual assault, important unmet health care needs are at least as common as forensic findings.
A reported 1.2 in 1000 children in the United States were sexually abused in 2000 through 2002.1 Many of these children underwent a medical examination after sexual assault, with the 2-fold purpose of ensuring the health of the child and documenting any injuries or other evidence that may support the allegation. Because access to health care remains a major problem for children in the United States, with approximately 9% being uninsured in the first half of 2004,2 many children seen for a sexual assault evaluation may have had limited prior contact with the health care system. Furthermore, children from abusive households are at potentially greater risk for inadequately addressed health needs than is the general pediatric population. While extensive literature exists concerning the incidence of forensic findings in children examined after an allegation of sexual assault, contemporary studies that examine the prevalence of unmet health care needs in this population are unavailable. The primary objective of this study was to determine in a population of children examined after alleged sexual assault the number who had other health care needs that warranted intervention at the time of the sexual assault evaluation.
The secondary objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of forensic evidence of sexual assault in our population. Many children seen for a sexual abuse evaluation are brought by parties whose primary interest is the detection and preservation of forensic evidence. The reported incidence of such findings, however, is low. In their study of 2384 children seen at a tertiary referral center for alleged sexual assault, Heger et al3 found that less than 4% had forensic evidence and only 0.6% had a sexually transmissible disease, even though approximately two thirds reported penetration of the vagina or anus. Studies by Adams et al,4 Kellogg et al,5 and Bowen and Aldous6 support these findings. The recovery of laboratory evidence in acute rape settings is also likely to be low in children, although, to our knowledge, only one published study to date has addressed this question and modern DNA amplification techniques were not used in the analysis of the samples.7 We compared the prevalence of unmet health care needs with the prevalence of forensic findings in our population of children examined after an alleged sexual assault.
Institutional review board approval for this study was obtained from the University of Texas Health Sciences Center Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects. This was a retrospective review of medical records from a clinic located in a child advocacy center, which is a tertiary referral center for sexually abused children. The mission of the clinic is to provide comprehensive health care for sexually abused children; therefore, for all children seen at the clinic a complete medical history was obtained, and a physical examination was performed and the results recorded on a detailed standardized form. The medical examinations were performed by 3 board-certified pediatricians (R.G., S.L., and M.M.) specializing in sexual assault. Videocolposcopy was routinely used for the anogenital portion of the examination. Laboratory specimens for sexually transmissible infections were collected when the patient history or physical findings suggested that there was a risk for disease according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2002 sexually transmitted diseases treatment guidelines.8 For children who had been assaulted within the previous 72 hours, additional specimens for forensic laboratory evaluation (rape evidence collection) were collected and turned over to law enforcement personnel for processing. The clinic physicians (R.G., S.L., and M.M.) conducted monthly peer review of medical records according to clinic policy.
The medical records of all sexual assault evaluations performed during the study period (December 1, 2003, through April 30, 2004) were reviewed. Three of us (R.G., L.G., and K.B.) abstracted the data for this study, with oversight of all abstraction by the lead author (R.G.). Basic demographic information, referral source, time since the alleged assault, history of prior sexual contact, anogenital findings, laboratory test results, and nonforensic diagnoses (medical and psychological) were abstracted from each medical record. Only diagnoses that were judged by the physician to require intervention at the time of the evaluation were recorded.
Both the physical findings at examination and the results of laboratory tests for sexually transmissible diseases were considered in determining the evidence for sexual abuse. The criteria published by Adams9 in 2004 were used to categorize the children's anogenital examination findings and the likelihood of abuse. An additional category, "probable sexual contact," was also included for patients whose findings did not fall within one of the Adams categories but for whom sexual contact was considered by the authors to be the most likely cause.
Four hundred seventy-three children (81% girls) were brought to the advocacy center for a sexual assault examination during the study period. The children ranged in age from 2 months to 17 years; 157 children (33%) were 13 years or older. Two hundred fifty-nine children were referred for examination by Children's Protective Services, 210 children were referred by law enforcement personnel, and the remaining 4 children were referred directly by their medical providers. Nine children received incomplete evaluations: no medical history was available and no medical evaluation was performed in 1 child with autism; a complete medical history was obtained in 2 children, but all components of the physical examination were refused; and 6 children gave a medical history but consented to only part of the medical examination or laboratory testing. A rape evidence collection kit was used in 22 children.
A medical or psychological diagnosis that warranted intervention by the examiner was made in 123 children (26% of the total who underwent at least a partial medical evaluation) (95% confidence interval, 22%-30%) (Table 1). Six children had medical diagnoses that could be attributed to sexual abuse, and 18 children had a psychological diagnosis. Thirty-nine children (representing 8% of the total evaluated) (95% confidence interval, 6%-11%) had a diagnosis with the potential to result in significant morbidity if not immediately addressed, including anemia, exacerbation of asthma, Chlamydia infection, depression without suicidal ideation, gonorrhea, menometrorrhagia, metrorrhagia, pelvic inflammatory disease, perforated tympanic membrane, pregnancy, secondary amenorrhea, self-mutilation, splenomegaly, suicidal ideation, suspected fistula, suspected pathologic heart murmur, suspected premature adrenarche, suspected pseudocyesis, and urinary tract infection. In contrast, 44 children (9% of those who underwent at least a partial anogenital examination) (95% confidence interval, 7%-12%) had physical or laboratory findings that potentially or definitively supported the allegation of sexual assault (Table 2).
Fourteen of 22 children who underwent rape evidence collection were in the group of 44 children with evidence supportive of the allegation of sexual assault. The remaining 8 children who underwent rape evidence collection had no or only nonspecific physical findings to support the allegation of sexual abuse and no diagnosis of a sexually transmissible disease. Results of forensic analyses of the evidence kits were unavailable.
Medical diagnoses significantly outnumbered forensic findings in our population (26% vs 9%), and the number of children with a serious diagnosis was almost the same as the number with assault-related findings (8% vs 9%). These results indicate that sexually abused children are at high risk for unmet health care needs. This study was conducted in the southern United States, where the proportion of children with inadequate access to health care is greater than in some other parts of the United States.10 The number of children in our study with unmet health care needs might, therefore, have been different had it been conducted in another region of the United States.
Twenty-two of the children in our study underwent rape evidence collection as part of the medical evaluation, and of these, 8 children had no physical findings or laboratory diagnosis to support the allegation of sexual abuse. Rape kits are processed by police laboratories only when requested by the judicial system. Because this process often takes months or even years in pediatric cases, an attempt to learn the outcome of these 8 kits was not made. However, even if all 8 kits contained evidence of sexual assault, the number of children with forensic evidence would have been only 11% (52 children) of the total, which is significantly lower than the number with unmet health care issues.
Our results should be of interest to medical providers, Children's Protective Services workers, foster families, and others who must be vigilant for the potential health care needs of sexually abused children. Our results also have implications for medical facilities that provide sexual assault evaluations for children. Many centers rely on nonphysician health care providers who are not independently licensed to perform sexual assault evaluations. While many of the diagnoses recorded during the study were nonemergent, that the number of children with serious diagnoses was almost the same as the number with forensic evidence indicates that this population requires comprehensive medical care in addition to having their forensic concerns addressed. Institutions that rely on extended care providers must provide careful medical oversight of sexual assault evaluations in children.
Our data also point to the need for systems that provide services to sexually abused children to carefully consider how best to meet the ongoing health care needs of this vulnerable population. We are unable to discern from our data the number of children in our population who had received inadequate medical care compared with the number who were receiving good care but happened to have an acute need on the day that we examined them. However, the high prevalence of unmet medical and psychological needs in our population suggests that at least a proportion of these children lack a "medical home." Because of their interdisciplinary design, advocacy centers that provide ongoing comprehensive medical care in addition to initial sexual assault evaluations are one solution to this problem. Ideally, the community outreach efforts of such centers can then facilitate communication with primary care physicians and, thus, provide for more permanent medical homes for these children.
Children seen for medical evaluations after alleged sexual assault are a population at risk for inadequately met health care needs, yet the systems in place to care for them are sometimes focused on the collection and documentation of potential forensic evidence rather than on medical care. To our knowledge, this study is the first to document the health care needs of this population. Unmet health care needs can be substantial in this population at high risk and should be considered in the structuring of systems designed to provide medical services for sexually abused children.

Establishment of Fund
The McIntosh Memorial Scholarship Trust Fund was established in 1921 by the people of Western Australia to perpetuate the memory of WWI flyer, Lieutenant John Cowe McIntosh, AFC. He was killed in an aircraft crash near Pithara, WA on Easter Sunday 1921. In 1983 administration of the Scholarship was transferred to the Royal Australian Air Force Association (WA Division) Inc. [RAAFA].
In 1991 the Fund faltered due to low interest rates and lack of sufficient funds to make a suitable award. However, the generosity of an anonymous donor at that time, and generous support since has allowed the Fund to recover and make further awards.
John Cowe McIntosh
McIntosh was born in Scotland in 1892, and having moved later to Western Australia, enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) in 1914. On enlistment his occupation was recorded as architect and surveyor.
He served in the 4th Field Ambulance AAMC on Gallipoli and in France, and was promoted Corporal. Just before the end of hostilities he transferred to the Australian Flying Corps to undertake flying training at Oxford in the UK. McIntosh was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant (on probation) in April 1919.
Rather than return to Australia with other elements of the AIF by ship, McIntosh joined forces with Lieutenant Ray Parer to enter the Australian Government's £10,000 air race from England to Australia. Although the race was won by Ross and Keith Smith in December 1919, McIntosh and Parer continued with their adventure. Despite great difficulties and obstacles, they became the first airmen to fly a single-engine aircraft from England to Australia. The epic journey took 208 days and McIntosh and Parer were each rewarded with a £500 cheque and an Air Force Cross.
Value of Scholarship
The award for the 2016 academic year will be $3,000 and is usually used by students to help defray the costs of equipment, books, or activities associated with their studies.
- Descendants of persons who enlisted in Western Australia for service in any branch of the RAAFA
- Undertaking a first course of tertiary education full time, in any year of that course
- Must reside in Western Australia.
All applications must be made on the application form available below. Applications close on Friday, 23 October 2015

Radio Shack – What is next and why I will miss….
I saw the headline of RadioShack Corporation Is Rearranging the Deck Chairs on the Titanic. Does that really capture it? Maybe.
I was in the market recently for a connector and my wife had asked me to come to the mall with her so I said sure, let me check out the Radio Shack and I had been hearing about all the challenges they have had so I figured since I haven't been in one in a while and I started to wonder if it was because of me? Or them?
I still like to build things as evident of my recent builds of Elecraft equipment.
Elecraft Build K3: http://nicktoday.com/elecraft-k3-final-build-assessment-and-first-on-air-testing/
And some other recent building.
So I walked in looking for two simple things. One was a Lenovo power cable for a laptop, which is a flat connector and not an "easy" one to come by, but something I thought they might have.
Second was a simple PL259 Patch Cable that I needed from my Icom 7100 to my Turbo Tuner. That I thought would be a very simple asks or at least the parts and I could build myself.
Well, too much dismay they had neither. Worse was they were trying to sell me a universal charger for my laptop, which would work and I would have purchased but it didn't have the flat adapter that the Levono Carbon needed. I tried and tried to explain that to the guy that worked there and I was willing to go to my car and get the laptop if he kept pushing me.
Second was he had no idea what a PL259 was. That was concerning as "Radio" is the first word in their company name. I thank him and said I was just going to walk around a bit. As I did really, what the realization was is that it was more of a Best Buy Mobile Store than anything else. They had Tablets, Phones, Computers and accessories. The largest displays were of cellphones. I realize that the business of radios these days, as well as kit building has most likely gone the way of the record player.
So, my basic thinking became – if they are trying to compete in consumer electronics are they ever going to win? Best Buy, to Wal-Mart, to Amazon to Apple having their own stores. How do you try to break into that business?
So as a computer geek, radio geek and kit building geek I will miss the days of Radio Shack. I got my first scanner there, my first RC Car that I drove around the backyard, my Coco computer with chicklet keyboard… There are so many things that I'll miss about Radio Shack, but like Ham Radio as a hobby I think I'm the minority on this one. My kids never knew Radio Shack, they do not know about kit and building and of course, phones are everything to them.
I'm not sure I see a way out for Rat Shack… not sure how you compete in a consumer electronics world and since your not building your own market with a new product or private label phone/computer/tablet your banking your future on a Apple product. $600 for an iPhone and then sell it for $199 on a subsidized plan. It eventually gets another $450 in "subsidy" from the wireless carrier, allowing it to recoup its costs and earn a profit. However, it could take months for that money to arrive.
I am shopping on Ebay tonight for a CoCo to sit next to my Commodore 64…. And thanking you for the memories.

The gift of music is powerful and provides a way to facilitate the Spirit often more quickly than the spoken word. Many of our great composers speak of feeling the Spirit as they wrote great works. Anciently scholars believed that music had a power to harmonize the body and the soul. We now have scientific evidence that music can help us learn, calm our spirits, heal the sick, and bring us great joy. This exhibit gives us ideas on how to use our talents in bringing joy to those around us using God's gift of music in our everyday lives.

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 25, 2013
Stereoscopic panoramas promise an inviting, immersive experience for viewers but, at high resolutions, distortions can develop that make viewing unpleasant or even intolerable. A team at Disney Research Zurich has found methods to correct these problems, yielding high-quality panoramas at megapixel resolutions.
The researchers will present findings related to their so-called Megastereo project at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) in Portland, Oregon.
Using software to digitally stitch overlapping images together into large panoramas has become popular and commonplace, with stitching tools available even in some consumer cameras. Methods for creating stereo panoramas that add the impression of depth to standard 2D panoramas also have been developed, but problems arise when applied to high resolution images.
"Images captured at higher resolution and quality often pose novel challenges," explained Alexander Sorkine-Hornung, research scientist at Disney Research Zurich. When such images are stitched into a stereo panorama, the results may be buildings that seem to sway wildly or expand and contract as perspective shifts. Likewise, people or objects that look three-dimensional from one perspective may appear flat as the line of sight changes.
The problems arise when left eye/right eye parallax views are introduced in a panorama to create the impression of depth. Such a panorama could be created using two cameras that capture images for each eye, but more commonly a 360-degree panorama is captured with a single, rotating camera.
By mounting the camera on an offset arm, it's possible to capture images at varying centers of projection, so that a stereoscopic image can be produced by stitching together specific strips from the input views. But artifacts such as visible seams between photos that might be bearable in a regular panorama can lead to an intolerable experience when viewing stereo panoramas at high resolutions.
For instance, the wide angle lenses typically used to create panoramas make objects near the edges of images appear larger than those in the center. When such images are stitched together in a horizontal stereo panorama, it can create vertical parallax that causes buildings or other objects at the top of the panorama to tilt or sway as the viewer's perspective changes.
The Disney Research team developed methods for correcting the optical distortion of the wide angle lenses, as well as correcting less-than-perfect camera orientations, such as when images are captured with a handheld camera.
Other problems relate to visible seams between images that have been stitched together, such as lines or walls that should be straight but appear wavy or crooked. One reason for such problems is that cameras capture light rays from only a limited amount of pixels per view as well as a limited number of camera viewpoints.
"Simply capturing more and higher resolution images usually isn't feasible and, more importantly, doesn't fully resolve the issues," Sorkine-Hornung said. To counteract the root problem, the team developed an optical flow-based upsampling method, which interpolates what light rays are missing in between.
The team found that their techniques for correcting problems in 360-degree stereo panoramas were robust and could apply to other sorts of panoramas, such as linear panoramas where, instead of rotating on a fixed base, a camera is mounted on a car or otherwise moves in a straight line.
In addition to Sorkine-Hornung, the team included Christian Richardt, Yael Pritch and Henning Zimmer, all of Disney Research Zurich; Zimmer also is a post-doctoral researcher at ETH Zurich and Richardt is a post-doctoral researcher in the REVES group at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis in France. More information about the study, including a video, is available here.

It's a curtain call for Amber Riley at Glee.
The actress, who played divalicious high schooler Mercedes for three years on the hit series, confirmed via Twitter that she won't be returning for next season.
"That's a wrap on Amber Riley," she wrote. "Just closed a chapter in my life, the only thing I've known day in and day out for three years. I'm going to miss the whole Glee family, seeing them everyday! I have so many brothers and sisters now :) But I am looking forward to a much needed and deserved summer vacation. SCHOOL's OUT Glee Kids! Let's play!"
Now that McKinley High seniors are graduating, it's unclear who else from the remaining cast will return next season. As for Riley, hopefully she'll take time off for some much-needed rest before jumping into her next role.

Voyeur : September 2009
086 VIRGINBLUE wetsuit is a fav 2XU co-director and product development manager Jamie Hunt mulled over the idea for a while before creating the prototype. "I was looking through magazines a few years ago when I came across an image of a blue whale. It got me thinking, 'Why do they have strakes on their bellies?' I did some research and found that if the whale's belly was smooth, it'd roll around a lot more in the water. The str akes help to channel water and reduce turbulence underneath the belly for a more streamlined swim." A few months later, while on a road trip with a friend, Hunt floated his findings, and his friend mentioned a similar application w as used on the underside of some boats. Freshly energised, Hunt decided to make a prototype wetsuit with its own str akes pressed down into the neoprene. After changing the design a few times, he cr acked it by the middle of 2008. "When swimming through heav y swell the strakes keep the swimmer on tr ack and help them rotate from side to side," he explains. "Nature often produces the best designs," he adds, saying he wants to harness the power of biomimicr y in future endeavours. THE COMPUTER THAT'S WINGING IT They say that owls are wise, and it took the wisdom of just one to rub off on to the engineer who was inspired to design a small cooling fan inside a compute r. One evening, one of Lenovo's Japanese engineers was watching as an owl flew by. He noticed that although he could see the bird clearly enough, he could not hear it. This was because an owl is virtually silent when in flight. The evolutionary advantage is that it can swoop down to catch its prey undetected, and one of the main reasons for this is a notched shape at the leading edge of its feathers. Because of this, the air that winganddrew on itto design a fan with notched leading edges. Until then, computer s would either be silent but less efficient or noisy but powerful. These redesigned cooling fan blades are now being used in Lenovo's latest generation of ThinkPad notebooks, and offer heat- reduction as well as owl-like silence. THE IMPELLER THAT LOOKS LIKE A FLOWER Back when Wester n Australian innov ator Jay Harman was a child, he obser ved how kelp, which is ver y fr agile, managed to sur vive batterings from strong waves. The kelp kept taking the same spiral shape, and Harman deduced that this was the same way in which the w ater was moving. He later dubbed this phenomenon the 'Streamlining Principle'. After this initial obser vation, Harman began seeing this shape everywhere: in shells, plants, flower petals and smoke rings. Instead of the shortest distance between two objects being a straight line, he noticed that it's a swirling motion that gets fluids to their destinations most efficiently (just think of water disappearing down a plughole). Intrigued, Harman set out to find a way to freeze the centre of a whirlpool formation, and so 'grew' what is now the Lily impeller, a six-by-four inch stainless steel device that can mix seven-million gallons of liquid in reser voir storage tanks using the electricity from just a few 100-watt light bulbs. Harman designed it in 1997, the same year he founde his Californian company PA X Scientific. PAX now produces a number of products, but the impeller is its bestseller. Harman believes a third of the energy we currently use could be saved by replacing all of our inefficient fans, pumps, and air conditioner with equipment that leverages nature's strategies for managing fluid flow. Above: Not giving a hoot -- the Lenovo fan mimics the wing of an owl. Below: Harman found that nature grows a calla lily in the same way as it moves water, and so the impeller was born. Instead of the shortest distance between two objects being a straight line... it's a swirling motion that gets fluids to their destinations most efficiently.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Is it illegal to send nude pics of an adult to an adult
Yes, if the nude person didn't consent to have their photo taken or distributed, you'd be invading their privacy.
Avvo doesn't pay us for these responses, and I'm not your lawyer just because I answer this question or respond to any follow-up comments. If you want to hire me, please contact me. Otherwise, please don't expect a further response. We need an actual written agreement to form an attorney-client relationship. I'm only licensed in CA and you shouldn't rely on this answer, since each state has different laws, each situation is fact specific, and it's impossible to evaluate a legal problem without a comprehensive consultation and review of all the facts and documents at issue.Ask a similar question
Without knowing the specific facts and circumstances, it is difficult to know. But, the conduct is probably not a crime -- unless it rises to the level of harassing behavior. However, as Attorney Koslyn as indicated, you could be sued for the invasion of a person's right to privacy (and perhaps infliction of emotional discuss, and other claims), if you took and/or sent the nude/private pictures without express permission to do so. Also, if you did not take the picture in question, the person who took the picture may have a claim against you for copyright infringement.
Any answer or other information posted above is general in nature and is not intended, nor should it be construed, as legal advice. This posting does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the posting attorney, and you are urged to engage a qualified attorney who is licensed to practice in the relevant jurisdiction.Ask a similar question
I would always advise AGAINST sending anything private via a cell phone or email, or posting online. You lose control once you press the "send" button. People who receive the image may or may not remain loyal to you and may or not respect your privacy or your wishes. Stop it!
