Broadcast (2006) Magic of Motion : Most animals, and even a few plants, move. They swim, walk, run or fly in a wide range of ways, and in this programme we look at how designers of planes, cars and robots have found inspiration in nature. But biomimetics is not just about copying nature, it’s about understanding the principles behind nature’s success and applying those in new and surprising ways. So exploring the world of cars and planes also gives us some startling new insights into nature as well. In this programme we find out why sharks can swim so fast, how flies and geckos can climb smooth glass and how vultures can help the next generation of airliners. We also meet robot cockroaches that might look like something from science fiction, but might be the fore-runners of the latest all terrain vehicles. Read the rest of this entry »
The UN Secretary-General officially announced this week a crisis that it had been warning member states about for months — a full-blown famine in Somalia.
Famine in the Horn of Africa: Swiss Solidarity steps up fund-raising appeal
Ten days after Swiss Solidarity’s fund-raising appeal for victims of the famine in parts of East Africa, the situation has deteriorated still further. Swiss Solidarity partner-organizations on the spot are carrying out emergency relief aid. The appeal for donations has so far raised a total of CHF 2’294’624.
Seven partner-organizations of Swiss Solidarity are currently active in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and Somaliland. These organizations (ADRA, Caritas, HEKS, CBM, Doctors without Borders – Switzerland, Medair and the Swiss Red Cross) are distributing supplies of food, water and medicines, as well as building latrines and propagating hygiene measures. Other aid organizations ( Handicap International, Terre des hommes) are assessing the relief situation and considering action.
The needs of the famine victims are overwhelming. Donations can be made to Swiss Postal Account 10-15000-6 (endorsed «Africa») or online. Swiss Solidarity paying-in slips are available from all Post Offices nationwide.

John Hunter puts all the problems of the world on a 4′x5′ plywood board — and lets his 4th-graders solve them. At TED2011, he explains how his World Peace Game engages schoolkids, and why the complex lessons it teaches — spontaneous, and always surprising — go further than classroom lectures can.
