Change in the initial species richness in 2005 relative to 2001-2005 average (high-range climate change scenario). Studies predict species invasion will be profound in the Arctic and Southern Oceans. Among others these changes could result in a significant turnover of species of more than 60% of present biodiversity. This has the potential to disrupt a range of marine ecosystem services including food provisioning.

Photo by Doug O'Neil. In Hobart yesterday evening, 40 Tasmanian community members gathered in solidarity with the people of Broome who oppose the proposed gas hub at James Price Point in far north Western Australia.
"We are joining a national day of action alongside people in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, to support the people of Broome in their fight to protect one of the most spectacular places in the world" said Jenny Weber of the Huon Valley Environment Centre.
The gathering was coordinated by Huon Valley Environment Centre and The Last Stand. 40 people held a candle light vigil while films from the protests about the proposed gas hub were projected on to a wall at Pier 1 at Macquarie Wharf in Salamanca.
"Tonight, the people of southern Tasmania are standing strong in spirit with this inspiring community in the far north west of the country. We are demonstrating our absolute support for these outstanding citizens who are taking a stand for the Kimberley, one of our most ecologically and spiritually significant landscapes" said Ula Majewski of The Last Stand.
More than 140 police officers have been flown to Broome to assist the company Woodside Petroleum's controversial $40 billion James Price Point gas hub, in resuming work.
The police are shepherding through Woodside machinery to the proposed gas hub site and a large contingent of riot police arrived.
"We are told stories about James Price Point by the people who are standing up to defend it. It is a place where there are globally significant dinosaur track-sites, humpback whales feeding and calving, greater bilbies breeding, an ancient Aboriginal song cycle that is shared with people from all over the world in an annual walk called the Lurujarri trail. It is an absolute disgrace that Woodside wants to destroy this magical place with an industrial gas," concluded Jenny Weber.

FENDI BAGUETTE BAG ANNIVERSARY | FENDI POP-UP
New York, New York
situation
“It’s not a bag, it’s a Baguette,” quipped Sarah Jessica Parker in “Sex in the City,”—forever immortalizing it as a fashion staple. Conceived by Silvia Venturini Fendi, the prominent fashion clutch is commemorating its 25th anniversary and is the feature for the Fendi winter 2022 capsule.
To celebrate, Fendi unveiled a New York pop-up boutique, situated at 90 Prince St. in the heart of SoHo. This 1,850 square-foot space was transformed to showcase the Fendi Baguette collection. Teaming with agency Innercity (IC-YA), Britten WoodWorks would craft the essential elements to transform a vacant storefront into a playful pop-up befitting the Fendi brand.
The principal feature would be oversized reproductions of the Baguette itself, fitted for product merchandising display. True to Britten’s capabilities, creating this larger-than-life design adds amusing dimension to the space.
solution
Using formed plywood as the core interior and Brittens's Foam3D™ elements to construct the compound curves and edges, Britten WoodWorks crafted outsized replicants of the iconic handbag—detailed down to the flap, clasp, and signature sleek edges.
Spanning 10’ high and 12’ wide and equipped with floating shelves and ready-to-wear racks, each Baguette was integrated with 3000K LED lighting to house and highlight the collection’s pieces.
Configured in three sets of match pairs, two in jewel-tone green, two in light pink, and two in Tiffany blue, each were color-matched to the exacting hues of the rest of the Fendi interior.
impact
By entrusting Britten WoodWorks, Fendi conveyed its aspirations for a phenomenal pop-up and its brand perception. The finished detailed interior cemented Britten WoodWorks as a complete idea-to-install fabricator and capable partner to shoulder the weighty brand presence of Fendi.
The results demonstrate Britten WoodWorks' ability to produce refined finish details that match highly stylized brand expectations with the technical demands of retail merchandising. From concept to installation in just four weeks, expediate skilled work is another benefit of partnering with Britten, Inc.

Seen in my ANUreporter Spring 2018 Vol.49 No.3
A colleague of min has this fantastic Norwegian design icon, a Tandberg Sølvsuper (translated to Silversuper) radio and amplifier. Unfortunately he's been having some problems with it. He told me the audio was "scratchy, then dropped out." It's always hard to tell what's wrong by peoples description, but it sounded like the speaker contacts where loose, or maybe just dirty.
I unscrewed the cabinet, a combination of wood and aluminium. Only four easily accessible screws to get to the components, hurrah. They knew how to make stuff repair friendly back then!
Now the strange thing is that as I poked around I couldn't find anything wrong. The only issue was that only two out of four speaker outputs had audio (but what audio, my god what a quality!). I have a pair of old Bang & Olufsen speakers with the same specs as the Tandberg amp (4-8 ohm), and they sound FANTASTIC when plugging my portable cd player to the input marked PHONO (after pressing down the limiter button). But if I tried connecting it to the TAPE input I got absolutely nothing.
I have a neighbour that has alot of experience repairing electronics, and he pointed out that it could be the cable/contact itself, and sure enough, when measuring the resistance on the white and red phono jacks and matching them to the five pins on the DIN-plug, we found that the middle is ground, but only two of the other four pins got a signal, so no wonder there where only sound in two speakers.
What threw me off at first is that there is actually a little audio in the two speaker outputs that are supposed to be dead, but this is pretty normal in older amplifiers. The audio signal can "bleed" over to other parts of the circuit, usually only noticable if you crank everything up full volume.
Anyways, everything seemed quite fine, but I used a tiny screwdriver to try to scrap off any dirt on the contacts, and that seemed to do the trick, improving the conductivity of the contact = better sound and less scraping.
I also cleaned up all the buttons and knobs on it, as a bonus.
Brought it back and my colleague was really happy with it, he has tested it and it works great.
Sometimes a simple poking is enough. True for making babies AND fixing amplifiers. :)

Ryan Davis of the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay visits young trees on a Plain sect farm near Christiana, Pa., on July 25, 2020. Funded by a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Alliance planted the trees in the spring of 2019 to form a 1-acre stream buffer that will filter stormwater runoff before it leaves the 88-acre farm. The farmer has also installed other conservation measures with grants from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service's Environmental Quality and Incentives Program (EQIP). These include a manure storage pit, barnyard stormwater control, and several grassed waterways on the property. "These conservation practices have done more than increase water quality; they have dramatically improved the farm's operational efficiency and thus the lives of the farmer and his sons," Davis said.

MONUMENTAL GHOSTLY HEIGHTS
BRADFORD KESSLER SOLO EXHIBITION
DAFENG GALLERY / 798 / BEIJING
7.31.10 - 9.19.10
Bradford Kessler, born in Kansas USA, 1982, currently lives and works in Beijing. Born and raised on the white bread of America, filled with dreams of Disneyland and rapid-flash images of cartoons and television, he finds himself immersed in China's nascent art community. Kessler's approach to creating art work is based on transmitting conceptual ideas. He creates art objects, projects and videos referencing conspiracy, movies, drugs, suicide and philosophy, which attempt to explain a kind of mythology of his generation. Art is meant to be shared, it is an experience. An art work itself is a language, it is a means of communication. Through the concepts of his works, Kessler introduces a new language, diction, syntax to Beijing's art community, which is exactly what constitutes the raw creative environment that defines the evolving character of Beijing.
Kessler describes his inspiration for "Monumental Ghostly Heights" as a process of gathering information and visual ideas all related to incidents of dreaming and escape, both real and metaphysical. The artworks, better described as objects or products, displayed are mere byproducts or selected physical realizations of a thousand fleeting thoughts, images, questions and inspirational moments. Consisting of blueprints splattered with bat blood, his "K(O) Phasor Safari Series" of pretend B-Flick movie posters recreate tranquilized visions of technological horror and mass parapsychological events. "Projectiles for Riding a Single Etermal Wave" is a set of abstract fiberglass sculptures coated in surfwax which are modeled from the molecular structure of cyanide and project from his futuristic replica of the portable M29 'Davy Crockett' nuclear weapon system tested by the American military during the Korean War. Kessler imagines these over sized cyanide molecules as props like the giant tarantulas wreaking havoc over chaotic crowds of a 1950's Sci-Fi Horror movie. His research refers to the prophetic visions and suicide missions of the UFO cult Heaven's Gate and the Utopian People's Temple. An underlying thread of his works is the desire to escape humanness and discover what Walt Disney would call a "magic kingdom." This search of a dream and the suspension of disbelief that supports it are evidence of a generation attempting to define and maintain their eternal youth. Kessler represents a generation of young artists rapidly surfing the internet, unafraid of pioneering new conceptual territories, and willing to dramatically expose themselves in the name of expression and creativity.
博凯(Bradford Kessler)，28岁， 是生于美国堪萨斯州而现住北京的职业艺术家。吃着美国的白面包长大，对迪斯尼乐园，电视和快速闪现的卡通形象充满梦想，他现在发现自己已经沉湎于中国新兴的艺术团体。 博凯进行艺术创造的方针是传达概念性的想法。他所创作的作品中频频出现关于阴谋、毒品、邪教自杀和哲学符号，试图解释美国80后的神话。艺术的体验应该分享。艺术品本身是一种语言，是一种交流的方式。博凯通其作品中的概念性描绘，为北京的艺术社区引入了一种新的语言，措辞，语法，这恰恰是构成北京原创的不断进化的环境特征的最好定义。
博凯逐字逐句的讲解着他的梦想。从他收集与梦与逃避相关的信息、视觉观点事件，真实的或是形而上学的来讲述他的展览的灵感来源。艺术品，被更好的描述作物体或者产品，仅仅是通过被选定的副产品来展现那成千上万的转瞬即逝的想法、图像、困惑还有那些有灵感的瞬间。他《K(O) Phasor狩猎之旅》的海报系列作品是在药物引起的经验后重现虚幻的假想。〈永恒冲浪大炮〉系列是便携式核武器系统，但是炮弹泽变成了钠氢份子。他的研究是指天堂之门的集体自杀和先知远见以及人民圣殿教的乌托邦理想。他的作品当中其中一个常见的含义是希望摆脱现实而进入沃尔特-迪斯尼先生的“神奇王国”。梦想的寻找是这一代人试图确定他们的自我生成的证据。博凯代表的是一代频频上网，不停地在新领域的开拓艺术灵感的来源。他们并迫切用表达和创造力来释放自己。
