The polls before the referendum had some performance approval ratings of up to 60 percent. In fact, however, have been taken, according to preliminary results at least nine of the ten points with a relative majority, but not one of them was the approval of more than 50 percent of voters. About a tenth of Ecuadorians were blank or spoiled ballots, declined as the government bill "yes" and "rage against President Rafael Correa, waving Opposition No.

The most likely time undecided actually attributable more to the realm of government. Then, in any case, polls suggest to determine the Correa and again by a two-thirds of the Ecuadorian population. The reason is the progressive social policy and also the clear advantage that Correa demonstrates again and again against foreign governments and corporations. This unites him with his criticism of the left and indigenous and opponents. They take the economists studied but repeatedly evil concessions to big business is ready if it is to develop the infrastructure of the country it deems necessary. Even if they go to the expense of indigenous communities and nature.

But speaking of it, can not stand the Yasuni-ITT in silence. The only proposal of the President of Ecuador is that it shows the oil reserves in Yasuni National Park will not stop if the industrialized nations to replace half of lost revenue for us. But the money belongs to the protection of the environment in Berlin, Federal Development Minister Dirk Niebel stopped last September, diplomats and promised payments from Germany. The speeches are cheaper.

with panel curtains sliding effort

Who knows modern sliding curtains I do not care what nowadays very often by the privacy screen and decorate the room? How are you special shades or curtains are installed and you have to be taken later to find something closer.

That one with the decoration of the sliding window curtain is indeed a very versatile solution used by famous people. Universally for the reason because you get straight to the alternative design options much more than you're used to normal curtains and drapes. Especially the possibility of combining different scarves and curtains Curtain area is one of the main features. If one imagines that one in the lounge of many consecutive windows, which are perhaps even in the soil-incorporated, it is relatively difficult to use for the decoration of the curtain, that not only the residential atmosphere a bit loose but must remain accessible. At this point, will inevitably come to the idea of a panel monitoring system indispensable. The principle of sliding curtains only reality is quite simple and is explained below.

What do you need a sliding curtain to install software?
The answer is relatively simple, because in addition to the sliding curtain is actually only a curtain rail and if not already included in the curtains of this area, the panel drivers needed, which should be only in the number of facial curtain. On the subject of curtain rails, we want to say a few words. It is recommended for us to use curtain rods, which are equipped with multiple runs. The background to this recommendation is not to explain, because if you would like to make various shades of the panel to the curtain rail, then it should not be started directly in the face, but overlaps the curtain a bit. For this match, however, several tracks are necessary and the rule, racing, space-saving overlap here can be used as a general rule.

How do I attach to the individual sliding curtain to curtain rail?
Now we come to the real heart of this information Cortina. While normal curtains and blinds with curtain tape on each hook about clip pickup or wrinkles are skid mounted, sliding curtain is used in a very simple technology, very sophisticated. It

talks about the company with velcro panel. In this case, the individual sliding head side slopes are provided with a tape loop, which is simply click on the Velcro panel. To obtain a stable connection is guaranteed, is sewn across the width of the curtain slide of this tape loop. As in the drivers panel. Again, the Velcro strap as wide as the panel of companies, panel curtains are installed in every movement, as needed or scarf individual area or you can connect the panel of individual companies also assumes that the model used panel provides companies the ability to connect with each other through drivers.

The principle is quite simple and can be installed quickly, which is also used to advantage if you want to wash the sliding tracks. There is certainly no precedent curtains, which can be removed in this order so quickly and in shape.

Choose folds flights for sun protection

When daylight hours are getting longer and the power of the sun again each time penetrating through the window so that the house is heated continuously, then it's time for a significant solar protection. The chances of effective sunscreen are different, so the choice is often the custom folds.

The question about sunscreen is present, especially in spring and summer than ever, because it can provide at this time of year the sun a life uncomfortable. Even when outside temperatures warm, must be at least the rooms of the house are a comfortable temperature. With a sun protection as a pleated blind is not a problem. Here is a collection of fabrics available, which have different properties. Not only the individual colors pleated blinds understood here, but also values ​​such as transmission, absorption and reflection. The latter value is for example very important for sun protection. The higher the reflection, the warming rays of sun reflected more outward.

In general, there are different forms of sun protection layer, with which many of the tissues plissee standard. One of them, for example, aluminum vapor. A bright silver coating, which is attached to the outside of the substances. Thus, folding is very normal from the inside out in the selected color. The effect of this layer is very effective. But thinking is not only folded for pure sun protection, but has the folded form of a substance and a highly decorative effect. Besides a modern window window dressing reaches a very different situation throughout the interior. Simple operation, may also put the folds in the bedrooms of children. Such motifs and designs of fabric are available for this.

Through a strain side, who have offered a series of folds, you can tilt when mounted under the window without blinds things highlighted in the living room and get, like flowers or other decoration on the windowsill of window.

Eco-warriors: U.S. Air Force Tests New biofuel

In the U.S., recently, a new biofuel has been tested to determine its suitability for use in fighter aircraft. An F-22 Raptor used during a test flight from the U.S. air base Edwards, a blend of conventional jet fuel and camelina 50:50. This English "Camelina is called cruciferous plant thrives in poor soils without water or nitrogen and is insensitive to cold and drought.

CO2 emissions from fuels are biofuels Camelina, according to Sustainable oils decreased by 75% that of conventional jet fuel. That would have life-cycle analysis of the art at the University of Michigan said.As is clear from the "Edwards Air Force Base News, graduated in combat maneuvers, including a " Super Cruise "at 12,000 meters at a speed of 1.5 Mach. As Super Cruise is the ability of an aircraft to fly without afterburning faster than the sound permanently. According to Jeff Brown, director of the Alternative Fuels Division Certification of Aeronautical Systems Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, the test is a milestone in the achievement of the requirements of the Air Force for 2016. Then by order of President Barack Obama alternative fuels cover 50% of domestic demand for fuel for military aircraft.

The company, based in Bozeman, Montana, said it has delivered some 2,200 gallons of Camelina-based biofuels in the U.S. Army (Air Force, Navy and Army). "engine based on the false flax are among the fuels aviation testing, " says Scott Johnson.


According to the managing director of Sustainable Oils Camelina has been tested at the military air traffic as well as civil aviation. Johnson makes a point that Camelina does not compete with food production, but even they admit. The plant can cope well in rotation with wheat grown in rainfed areas. Given the high content of protein and omega-3 fatty acids are the residues from the extraction of oil seeds, approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as food for livestock and poultry.


Other benefits of camelina is that the plant would be quite readily available in large enough quantities for the production of aviation fuel. The plant also grows well in northern U.S. states. It is the quality of soil and climate does not apply to areas for growing food or fodder. Because Camelina is also much more resistant to cold than conventional biodiesel offers camelina feed especially for use in fighter aircraft.

Rescue even in bad weather: Rega pilots to practice night landings with satellite navigation

Berne - The Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) has given the Air Rescue (Rega) the green light for second phase of test flights by helicopter to University Hospital in Bern. The new flights will take place at night. Rega want for helicopter flights with patients in the hospital on the island to introduce a new method that allows even in fog or low clouds landings and takeoffs. 

Today, this movement entirely by sight and therefore can be done only in good weather conditions. The new method is based on satellite navigation. It allows pilots, methods of hospital on the island to a defined point in space based on satellite data performed and then make only the last part of the approach and landing in sight.
Last October, the FOCA Rega grants approval for test flights with satellite navigation during the day and weather conditions had been published. This requirement is for the drivers, even with a navigation system failure, a continuation of flight safety permitted.

After these flight tests are successful, the FOCA has the platform of pale green for the proposed second phase. Allowed new pilots in satellite navigation and flying at night. This is especially clear if the important features and landmarks can be seen in the terrain and obstacles at night by pilots. This second phase is limited to late June 2011. If all goes as planned, the Rega, the new method is expected to soon apply in normal operation. The method of the platform is part of a foot under the direction of the FOCA national program to promote satellite-based approaches, Switzerland.

Environmentally friendly technologies "made in Switzerland" are international leaders

Dübendorf, St. Gallen and Thun - environmentally friendly technologies are playing for Economic Research and Switzerland an increasingly important role. A new study shows that a significant proportion of investment between sectors, the Swiss company to spend on energy efficiency technologies. In addition, the study concludes the report belongs to Switzerland in the world in this area most innovative countries.

Clean Technologies increasing in Switzerland. The growth potential of the technologies that contribute to efficient use and conservation of natural resources, took the first time published "Switzerland Cleantech Report, which highlights the clean technology sector Switzerland wide and from different angles. Long before the recent reactor accident in Japan, Switzerland has recognized the enormous economic potential of environmental technologies and promote.

Significant proportion of investment in clean technology applications
The Institute of Economics, ETH Zurich (KOF) has been studied in a recent scientific study of the economic mechanisms involved in the production and dissemination of energy efficiency technologies in question. She concludes that Swiss companies spend on average between 5 and 7 percent of its total investment in energy efficiency technologies. The Swiss economy is therefore already used for clean technology products to a considerable extent - and various industries. With more than 12 percent of the share of investment in the document and is in the electrical engineering industry is particularly high. Food company with a market share of 48 percent is even higher. Among the most important investment motives are - regardless of company size - the prices of energy and environmental factors.

Leading international role of innovation in Switzerland
As one of the pioneers in clean technology, Switzerland is now one of the most innovative countries in 2008 alone was 20 per million patent-pending inventions in the field of clean technologies to record. "In the field of research and development, Switzerland is in fact the world class, " said Gian-Luca Bona, manager of EMPA, the project partners in the "Report Switzerland Cleantech" involved. "But for the Swiss company in the" big business "applications of clean technologies are well positioned, we have the results of basic research in this country to more efficiently implement innovative technologies. "

Cleantech Report Switzerland "
The "Switzerland Cleantech Report is a current inventory of the Swiss clean technology, highlighted the excellent framework for environmental technologies in Switzerland in research and development, commercial application, and attractive financing options. Published the "Swiss Cleantech Report 2011 " by a number of major research institutions, companies and public sector. The project partners are in addition to the EMPA, the Swiss Federal Office for Professional Education and Technology (BBT), CleantechAlps, CSEM, the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property, OSEC, the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), SIX Swiss Exchange and swisscleantech .

How much fruit and vegetables a day is the body's need?

Basically, nutritionists and doctors argue incessantly demanded that consume fruits and vegetables as natural as possible and processed under. Only in this way, the optimal care of the body with vitamins, minerals and dietary fibers can be achieved. The many secondary plant compounds may be in the most natural fruit and vegetables consumed in sufficient quantity. Moreover, as fresh fruit and vegetables in this way has no fat and very high nutrient density noted, the form of consumption is possible in the natural state is best for a healthy diet.

The recommendations of the German Society for Nutrition see a consumption of 400 grams of vegetables and 200 - by 250 g of fruit for adults. The recommended "5 a day" provides the distribution of this amount of fruits and vegetables to five portions distributed as evenly as possible in the day. To achieve an optimum supply of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals, should define a range of fruits and vegetables in the diet and should be as broad as possible.

A serving of fruit or vegetables, therefore, have a weight of 100 to 200 grams. The dried fruit is 25 g, correspond to the recommended amount. Serving uncooked vegetables should be 100 to 200 g weight. Recommendations apply to the same amount of cooked vegetables. Fruits or vegetables as final dish should be in an amount of consumption of about 125 g per serving. A glass of fruit juice or vegetables (no sugar) should include the size of 100 to 200 ml, which is considered a serving.

To take the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables can be replaced easier than a serving of fruit or vegetable juice with 200 ml. But this should only be the exception. A daily replacement dose of fruit and vegetable juice is not recommended by the Nutrition Society. The bottom line is that the juices do not contain the same range of valuable nutrients. But the content of dietary fiber and phytochemicals in fruit juices is lower compared to the fruit or vegetable product. Generally well, but may be juice, in exceptional cases, a good alternative to lots of fruit.

Research Federal Research Centre for Nutrition and Food, based in Karlsruhe that may have been sustained only the addition of juices rich in carotene in the diet of the beneficial effects on metabolic function.

"bottle" of solar planet, the round world's largest solar boat, he crossed the Pacific!

Re happier time has come to a "bottle" of the round the world's largest solar boat in the world:

"Dear Friends PlanetSolar. After leaving the Galapagos Islands on the morning of February 7, 2011, who first moved along the coast of the island of Isabella, before Turtle had happened to their volcanic landscape, which is half under water. It was great. Although the first day was excellent, the weather, sea, smooth as glass. In the first two days of presentation, we have even met Fischer, who appeared out of nowhere in the waters Pacific Ocean.

At the end of the first week sailing conditions worsened. But from the second week we were again well disposed toward the Pacific and has led us to the west in the direction of Polynesia. With the help of the Humboldt Current and trade winds east of the Marquesas Islands, we are getting closer. Hard to believe, but during the trip, we arrived at the remarkable average speed of five knots. Now we are also solar-powered vehicle with the greater distance. Since 2004, registration of the Midnight Sun team was held, which was driven by a solar car at a distance of 15.070 kilometers of the U.S. Canada. Since then we Monaco has covered over 20,000 kilometers back. On March 3, 2011 shortly before sunset was eventually land in sight. The next morning we arrived after 25 days at sea in French Polynesia.

One outcome of our meeting with the Ecuadorian government was in the Galapagos Islands, in cooperation with our partners, Canton of Vaud and sanitary engineering school-VD a visit to the Ecuadorian Minister of Education and Science, Manuel Baldeón was held in Switzerland. The small Andean country of South America has many ideas and ambitions for renewable energy and developing environmentally friendly technologies. Hopefully this dialogue will be in the near future concrete projects in the future.

Different Marquesas Islands, and the interaction with its inhabitants, all we've been very impressed. These islands are a real piece of paradise. We should follow the example of the Polynesians who used the wisdom of their natural resources sustainably. Each island is different and has its own advantages.

We continue our journey to Polynesia continue with a west. From here, go to Tonga and New Caledonia in late April. Then we went to Australia, the gateway to the Indian Ocean.

Until next time!

Sensation! Swiss researchers invented tissue network that captures solar energy - cheaper solar cell production

Dübendorf, St. Gallen, Thun, 24.03.2011 - The normal market technology-based solar cells strained silicon is not suitable for the production of malleable thin film solar cells, these collected in a transparent electrode, flexible and conductive, the light and go for power. A polymer electrode-tissue Empa achieved first promising results and is recommended instead of a layer of indium tin oxide.

The shortage of raw materials and increased consumption of rare metals and more expensive electronic components and devices. They are used as transparent electrodes for touch screen mobile phones, liquid crystal displays, organic light emitting diodes and thin-film solar cells. The material of choice for this is the indium-tin oxide (ITO, oxide, indium tin Eng), an oxide conductor, made substantially transparent. Since the OIC is relatively expensive, however, is not profitable for large scale applications such as solar cells.

Search options
While it is not transparent, free of oxides of indium, but with increasing demand are distinguished here by the shortage of supply. In addition, there remain fundamental disadvantages as the fragility of the deformation. Therefore, the alternative transparent conductive layers have been extensively studied, such as conductive polymers, carbon nanotubes or graphene.

Carbon-based electrodes, however, resistance to the surface is usually too high and therefore fewer drivers. When a metal grille integrated into the organic layer, reduced resistance, but also the mechanical stability: If the tilt of the solar cell to break the layers and are no longer performed. The challenge, therefore, is flexible, but strong substrates, conductor of producing industry, ideally in a process of low-cost deployment.

One solution: tissue electrodes
As a promising opportunity to turn a fabric transparent, flexible polymer that has developed in the EMPA Sefar the Commission on Technology and Innovation CTI project with the financial support of the AG. The Swiss company specializing in precision woven fabric can produce similar cheap and in large quantities on a roll as the deployment process for the printing of newspapers. The electrical conductivity is necessary to wire woven metal. In a second phase of the process, the tissue in a layer of inert plastic fit, without being completely covered electrically insulated metal filaments. The resulting electrode is transparent, stable and flexible. Then, the Empa researchers then applied organic solar cells in a shift system. Its effectiveness is comparable to conventional cell-based ITO, on the other hand, the electrode into the tissue deformation is much more stable than commercially available, flexible plastic substrates, the ITO layer is applied as a thin conductive .

Daylight Saving Time: On Sunday, the clock features an hour

Next Sunday summer schedule begins: Who does not have radio-controlled watches have, you must stop your clock manually rotate forward by one hour. The sun will rise in the morning, an hour later, but still the longest of the night bright As a reminder, the following is appropriate "home": In the spring, when everything begins to sprout, move in an hour. In the autumn, where nature is preparing for the "hibernation", everything goes slower, so the clocks back an hour.

Next Sunday it again: At 2:00, watch the clock to 3:00 advanced. For seven months in Switzerland is in the Central European summer time (CET) before the reset on Sunday 30 October, again in Central European Time (CET). This tells the Federal Office of Metrology (METAS) in, which is responsible for implementation and dissemination of official time in Switzerland.

ATL-time signal can be received at the end of the year Most of the tower, school and station clocks and traffic lights are synchronized radio-controlled. So you always have accurate time information and automatically place in or around the summer to standard time. This year DST will be the last, which is in charge of the signal transmitter HBG Swiss time. In August 2009 the Federal Council has decided to suspend the operation of the HBG time signal transmitter in Prangins (VD) in late 2011. Thereafter, on synchronized clocks and controls received HBG characters long and should become another form of broadcast time signals.

The majority of public clocks in Switzerland are already using the technique and the quality of the signal equivalent to the DCF77 time signal station German. The relatively small proportion of public clocks that are synchronized with HBG, can be converted at a reasonable cost when German mark until the end of the year. HBG clock radio commercial came after only one year on the market.

The future of electricity is in any case, no nuclear energy, "uranium resources will last only 60 to 100 years "

One wonders why it remains to invest in nuclear energy and emphatically not many years ago as he stepped power supply with renewable energy sources because in an interview with swissinfo, said Jürg Buri, director of the Swiss Foundation for Energy:

"Uranium is a finite resource, you can still stands 60 to 100 years are available. The long-term future of electricity is therefore the management in any way without nuclear energy." "If we want an orderly withdrawal of the technology of risk, we need a law requiring that run as long as power plants yet, and which provides funding measures which may be the ability to delete and renewables full efficiency, "said Buri more.

Safeguards should be established, the basis of that investment in sustainable energy systems for domestic investor interest and leave the big energy providers from the comfort of nuclear energy for themselves and to participate actively in the search for sustainable solutions.

Future energy cells or small networks?
The behavior of energy companies is a bit reminiscent of the tip of the dictators in the Arab world, which are now gradually being replaced to modern democracy. Perhaps designed for the future of energy is no longer an isolated giant, for non-profit corporations, but on self-reliance of every lie. Could each house will have its own energy or Kleinkomunen management.

What an enormous savings in infrastructure costs would result, studies show to be invested in large electrical networks in the future European large investments in order to prevent the collapse of energy by continuing population growth and consumption of electricity.

In addition, self-extraction to promote the careful use of energy. Who will get their own energy needs, contrary to worry. For as Jürg Buri said in an interview: "Every kilowatt-hour is now third lost through inefficient equipment and applications. "

So what are you waiting for: The solar panel installed on the roof, wind turbines bolted to the railing of the balcony and the computer to save energy ...

A heart attack not affiliated in to obesity

There is an argument we often hear in the community, about the relationship of heart attack and body shape. This triggers the question of whether fat people certainly have a greater risk of heart attack than people who was ideal. then so what if some people happen to hereditary factors, which already has a body fat since he childhood or young.

Some research later carried out, as did a study in the journal Lancet that says, no increased risk of heart attacks because of the fat that is concentrated in the central part of the body. study led by Professor John Danesh of Cambridge University looked at 220,000 people for 10 years. body size does not improve outcome prediction of a heart attack. especially when people are strictly supervise and control the other important factors, such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

But that does not mean having a body fat into a suggestion. and one of the most important thing is to maintain and implement health lifestyle and a balanced diet. and as long as it applied to the risk of heart attack can be prevented, even if you have any body shape.

Sensation: Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland PSI core structures see figure

While watching the light leads to obvious, a multi-step chemical process. At the end of a nerve impulse that gives the impression of light into the brain. It starts with the interaction of light with the rhodopsin protein. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute is now able to decide together with colleagues in the UK and the U.S., the exact structure of this short-term Rhodopsin moleküls excited state and to provide an accurate picture of the first stage of visual processing .

This result should provide a better understanding of hereditary retinitis pigmentosa eye disease and may indicate pathways for handling or deceleration. At the same time, provides the result is the basis for understanding many other processes in the body, based on a similar mechanism - such as the perception of odors and process control by hormones. About the results, the researchers report in the online edition of the journal Nature.

Seeing is a very complex process - a variety of chemical reactions that occur before the visit comes to our consciousness. At the beginning of this process, the light hits the retina Sehsinneszellen in the eye - the pins or rods. In the cell membranes of the rods, which are responsible for vision in low light, rhodopsin molecules are sitting - real light sensors. They consist of seven parts, rod-shaped molecule that extends from outside to inside the cell. When light from the outside of the rhodopsin, changed the arrangement of rod-shaped pieces, so that within the cell a molecule called a G protein takes place in the middle. The coupling of G protein activates a cascade of events that are activated at the end of a nerve impulse.

The pigment is very sensitive to light is the retina - a form of vitamin A - which puts a small molecule increased between the seven parties of rhodopsin. When light falls on it, it also stretches and pushes parts of rhodopsin, the creation of spaces for G-protein. Now, researchers at the Paul Scherrer managed institution, to determine the structure of rhodopsin in the activated state - in order to modify the light in the shape of the retina extended. This condition is actually very short, since rhodopsin themselves as soon as possible back to the state, in which is sensitive to light. The ISP, however, researchers have found a way to change the molecule a bit to keep the active form of more time and were able to determine its structure. The structure of the inactive form of rhodopsin, which occurs without light, was already known. With knowledge of both structures are able to understand exactly how the visual system in the eye begins at the molecular level.

For inquiries, these molecules are produced in large quantities and regularly arranged in a crystalline structure. This rhodopsin is a membrane protein very few of this kind, which can crystallize. The crystals were illuminated with synchrotron light and the deflection of light on the way through the glass, the researchers deduced the structure of molecules. The measurements were made in the SLS Synchrotron Light Source at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland and two similar facilities.

Universal mechanisms to understand life
The investigation of rhodopsin helps to a large class of similar molecules to understand -. There are over 800 of them in people, "said Joerg stand, head of the research project" The majority do not react to light, but compliant to other stimuli and thus the diversity Responsibilities: In the sense of smell, they react to substances in the air. Or that serve as receptors for hormones in the body -. such as beta-receptors, which are in central control of blood pressure in part responsible "These serve as docking site for the well-known as a beta blocker against high blood pressure. In general, these molecules are of great interest for pharmaceutical research because it can be controlled through processes in the body or block very well targeted. Therefore able to interact, such as drugs used in cardiac rhythm disorders, migraines, allergies to these receptors. The exact structure of beta-receptors was the subject of another study conducted by researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute with colleagues from Cambridge, recently published in Nature.

Improved therapies for eye disease
"Our experience with the structural study of modified rhodopsin molecules are currently spending for research into common eye disease - retinitis pigmentosa,"said Stand. In this inherited disease is often the rhodopsin in the cones of the eye is changed, not like in the good eye completely renewed regularly - always being part of the "old" molecules, which gradually poison the visual cells. This principle leads to night blindness, and for a long time in a very limited field of view. Stand, ". In the future we will be able to determine exactly has changed the way that the rhodopsin in the disease, and then examine the so tiny molecules, which are drugs, the disease can be incorporated into the rhodopsin" Could use this knowledge in the computer to optimize the structure of specific drugs.

Research International
Jörg support and the head of the Biomolecular Research Laboratory Paul Scherrer Institute, Professor Gebhard Schertler started the project in the Laboratory of Molecular Biology of the MRC in Cambridge (England) and completed after his transfer to the ISP to an end. They have worked in close collaboration with colleagues at Brandeis University, USA.

Family Law: SECO are the suggestions of career women in leadership positions

More women in leadership positions? This is not only possible but also in the interest of the company. The Ministry of Economy has published a collection of good practices for the business community. The initiative is supported by the Swiss Employers' Association and the Swiss business.

Latest statistics show that companies in Switzerland are women in positions of leadership in representation. The situation has not improved since about ten years.
