LAURENT di MASCIO Glaçages & Patines Kenzo Incredible Look at #U.S. Airways #Flight 1549 We’ve seen a lot of simulations of U.S. Airways Flight 1549 going into the Hudson River, but a new video painstakingly compiled by an engineer offers the most comprehensive and compelling look yet at the airliner’s short but incredible flight. When the plane went down in January, it didn’t take long before the internet was flush with videos of Flight 1549 landing in the Hudson. But the latest work by Kas Osterbuhr, an engineer at K3 Resources who specializes in the visual presentation of complex data, goes one step further. The main video (featured below) shows a 3-D simulation of the flight from the moment the brakes are released at La Guardia to the collision with the geese to Sully’s amazing touchdown. Subsequent videos provide an overhead view of greater New York with radar returns for all the aircraft and bird flocks in the area. Osterbuhr says after 200 hours on the presentation, it turned from a project into an obsession. There are also several more available .

[De pied en cap] Cell phone-cancer link found by Tel Aviv University scientist Public release date: 14-Feb-2008 [ Print | E-mail Share ] [ Close Window ] Contact: George Hunkaghunka@aftau.org 212-742-9070American Friends of Tel Aviv University An Israeli scientist, Dr. Siegal Sadetzki, has found a link between cell phone usage and the development of tumors. Dr. Those who used a cell phone heavily on the side of the head where the tumor developed were found to have an increased risk of about 50% for developing a tumor of the main salivary gland (parotid), compared to those who did not use cell phones. The fact that the study was done on an Israeli population is significant. “This unique population has given us an indication that cell phone use is associated with cancer,” adds Sadetzki, whose study investigated nearly 500 people who had been diagnosed with benign and malignant tumors of the salivary gland. Controlled Study Reveals Link The study also found an increased risk of cancer for heavy users who lived in rural areas. Keep Calling but Call Smarter [ Print | E-mail

Catalogue Valmour - Page de présentation du Cuir L'Entretien du Cuir en remontant dans le temps... Les Origines Si les origines du cuir remontent à des millénaires, celle des crèmes de bonnes qualités ne datent que du XXème siècle. L'ancêtre de la crème pour cuir est l'encaustique qui est née du mariage d'une essence solvante (la térébenthine) et d'un esther gras (la cire d'abeille). A l'origine les cuirs étaient teints, dorés ou laissés tels quels. Les Débuts En 1723 le dictionnaire de Richelet définit le produit d'entretien pour cuirs comme une ''composition de cire, de suif, de noir de fumée, de térébenthine de Venise, de blanc de plomb et d'autres ingrédients que l'on fait bouillir''. Cette formule donnait un brillant incomparable. malheureusement les problèmes d'écaillage, d'odeurs et de coulures par temps de pluie sonnèrent le glas de cette recette. Saphir
