The Nature Conservancy and the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum Present “Design for a Living World”

      This spring, The Nature Conservancy and the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum will present “Design for a Living World,” a traveling exhibition featuring objects created by leading designers and made from sustainable, natural materials. The exhibition will premiere at Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum on May 15 and continue through Jan. 4, 2010. An exclusive VIP Preview Reception is slated for May 13.

      The Nature Conservancy collaborated with prominent designers from the worlds of fashion, industrial and furniture design and each designer focused on a natural material from a specific place where the Conservancy works. The locations ranged from iconic American landscapes, such as the sweeping grasslands of Idaho, to such exotic places as the southwest coast of Australia and the forests of China’s Yunnan Province. The designs explore the transformation of organic items—wood, plants, wool—into beautiful and useful objects. By choosing sustainable materials that support, rather than deplete, endangered places, designers can help reshape our materials economy and advance a global conservation ethic. Through this process, the exhibition reveals fascinating stories about regeneration, natural places and the human connection to the Earth’s lands and waters. 

Well,today it rains a little.Melbourne is like a smaller gentle version of Manhattan with etiquette.Sophisticated,good restaurants,good fashion.

I just got asked a good question by Alan at the www .tennisbookshop.com

Did any pundit ever estimate how many Wimbledons Wilding might have won had the Great War not intervened? It is an interesting matter.

Susan Boyle to join Hollywood A-list

By ALEXANDER LAWRIE

BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT’S latest superstar Susan Boyle could about to join the Hollywood ‘A’ List - after being offered her first MOVIE role.

Virgin Susan - who shot fame after just a single appearance on the TV talent show - has impressed Hollywood bosses so much she is being lined up to appear in the black comedy Counterswirl.

And she could be starring alongside Only Fools And Horses legend Roger Lloyd Pack who played Trigger in Britain’s best loved comedy.

The news comes just days after it was revealed the devoted church-goer counts movie legend Demi Moore among her celebrity fans with a big money offer to appear on the chat-show circuit with Oprah.

Producers of the movie Carpe Diem Films said they would be “honoured” if Susan would consider taking the leading role of their main female character Magda in the comedy feature.

Counterswirl

The movie will be filmed on location in Scotland, Ireland, Argentina and Australia and will see Susan acting opposite TV legend Roger Lloyd Pack - Trigger from Only Fools and Horses.

Producer Anna Wilding is excited about possibly working with Susan, even though this will be the Scot’s first ever experience of appearing on film.

She said: “I would very much be honoured if she would consider the role of Magda in our black comedy feature film set in Scotland, Ireland, Argentina and Australia called Counterswirl.

“I will be forwarding her the screenplay and she will see the role is perfect for her. Roger Lloyd Pack, the British comedian, is keen to do the role of Italian vinter, Ricardo.

“I was initially going to ask the Aussie comedian Magda Sabanski - however Susan is perfect for the part.

“In fact, one of the other characters in the film even lives alone with a cat in Scotland, but I want the larger role of Magda to go to Susan.”

Black comedy

“I am currently in New Zealand then going on location to Perth for another movie, where we also hope to eventually take Susan to shoot Counterswirl.

“I realise it would be the first time for her.

“This is not a big studio movie, it is an independent film like Sideways, Little Miss Sunshine and Cinema Paradiso.

“It is also a black comedy so it has humour and sparkle.

“The movie is about triumph over adversity and all about dreams.”

Susan’s popularity across the world has been secured by the success of her Youtube clip and wall to wall attention from the international press from as far afield as Estonia, New York and Australia.

Complete privilege

Susan, 48, from Blackburn, West Lothian, has taken the country by storm after performing “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables on the TV talent show Britain’s Got Talent.

Judge Simon Cowell said after her jaw-dropping performance: “Susan, I knew the minute you walked out on that stage we were going to hear something extraordinary – I was right.”

And Amanda Holden told Susan that “it was a complete privilege to listen to you”.

Susan’s popularity has grown so much since she appeared on the show that the Youtube link showing her performance has incredibly been viewed over 12 million times.

The self-confessed virgin has now even secured herself a Wikipedia entry, and some enthusiastic fans have set up a Facebook website in her honour which has attracted over 60,000 fans.

William Henderson, who set up the site, explains that he felt she was an inspiration to many and worthy of all the attention.

He said: “I thought that Susan was incredible and so just had to set up a fan site for her.

“It’s the fact that when she came out on stage, she didn’t look like Beyoncé or Rihanna, so people thought she was going to fail the auditions.

“But when she came out with her voice, everyone was shocked and loved her.

“It is a case of learning not to judge a book by its cover.

“I think she can make it right to the end.

“If not, she will still be as famous and no one will forget her at all.”

Anna Hawaii

 Late 2008 I caught a ship across the great pacific. See prior postings.I made some discoveries along the way ,that led me to formulating a new film project that is now in active development and late  planning stages.It also led me to discovering the great work of  Charles Moore and his research vessel ,and the  Algalita Marine Research Foundation.

Boat,pacific

Yes folks,we humans are disgusting.  All that plastic we use...ends up where? The Pacific.It floats around the Pacific like  a washing machine.It comes not just from America - but from regions all over the planet. It breaks down and pollutes the sea.

Charles Moore was the first to discover it and its toxic effects when he took a  detour ,thinking it may be quicker, on a boat race to Hawaii fomr California.What was he met with?

Not just ONE piece of garbage floating in the sea,but mile upon mile of plastic garbage.

It was enough for him to quit his day job ,as billionaire,and set up a specific research foundation to study and monitor the GYRE ,as it is called!

And folks, yess sirree ,I will be interviewing him ,as agreed, when we get this film funded this year so please stay tuned(and if you wish to invest please let us know by sending an email through this vox site). In the meantime...the Alguita Foundation needs  your help. Charles Moore ,and his team which includes First Mate -Jeffery Ernst- are about to embark on the next journey to the Gyre and donations are needed.

                                               Alguita 09 Pacific Exploration 

      The Alguita was the first vessel to sample the surface waters of the area that has now become known in the popular press as the great pacific garbage patch.

The research team were the first to develop a standard methodology for this sort of sampling.. The end result of this effort is a set of data for summer, and winter surface plastic debris levels, and accompanying zooplankters (<300mm) in the north pacific subtropical gyre (NPSG).The levels of plastic can then be compared to the levels found ten years ago, and related to our model predictions, allowing for a determination of growth during that period

 Very little, in regards to direct mitigation; can be done about small particle plastic pollution, and potential impacts of this mid-late 20^th century phenomenon are wide ranging and poorly understood. The exclusive economic zone (EEZ), of the United States extends 200 miles in all directions from every US coastline including the NWHI. This line marks the distance in which US federal environmental management groups, are mandated to mitigate negative impacts to protected species and to the environmental wealth of the country. This means that the open ocean waters of the world are a difficult place to justify government spending on research or cleanup efforts.

Because of this reason, direct sampling of the central ocean gyres of the world has to come from nonprofit groups like Algalita Marine Research Foundation. At least until the issue is present enough in the consciousness of the general public to bring about change in what has become a true tragedy of the commons for a global generaL.
