Tour De France 2015 Outright Yellow Preview

Tour De France 2015 Outright Yellow Preview

Tour De France 2015 Outright Yellow Preview for Saturdays start in Utrecht. Its an interesting parcours avoiding the centre of France by taking in Netherlands, Belgium the west of France and the two usual mountain ranges. Also rare is the team time trial placed so late in the race when its likely teams will be down in numbers. A 13.8km time trial opens up the race with it been the only individual time trial of the race. Stage 2 may give the nerves with possible crosswinds from the coast. Stage goes into Belgium with a true classics finish, depending on how time trial goes the yellow jersey could change hands here.

The stage 4 to Cambrai will throw in some testing cobbles with the riders hoping for some dry weather to avoid the chaos that Nibali thrived in last year. Up to the stage 9 time trial any time lost will be careless but likely to happen at some stage but they should be small gaps with selective sprints the call of the day. The team time trial along the lines of the one seen in the Dauphine is going be extremely testing. Stage 10 on Bastille Day gets interesting with a summit finish and then the next day they take in the Tourmalet. Then stage 12 comes on top of that with monster climbs back to back with the finish to plateau de Beille which will be sapping with all the climbing. After the Pyrennes expect the number of contenders to be greatly reduced.

Nibali rocked the cobble last year

Then on stage 16 they hit the Alpes. Stage 17 is a replica of the one won by Bardet in the Dauphine in stunning style as he took the descent expect some copy cats this time in the Tour De France 2015. The climbing is though with some high altitude stuff. Stage 17 has plenty climbs including a new addition.  18 and 19 are both the short stage summit finishes many of us have enjoyed in the recent past. Stage 20 then nicely takes in the Alpes D’Huez needless to say the climbing is truly key, but that also involves coming out safe and sound from week 1, again being a short stage I am expecting some really exciting racing.

Tour De France 2015 yellow jersey battle:

Battle for yellow is between four main contenders but there are others to worry the field and fight for a big top 10. Vincenzo Nibali comes in as the defending champion but he has still got lots to prove and its being a very quiet season for him, if Astana turn up half as up for it as the Giro he will have a strong support cast. Nibali has not been at his best this Tour yet but again week 1 suits him to hit the ground running. He has Boom for the cobbles, fuglsang as strong all round support, Kangert, Scarponi and Taaramae are going be excellent for him in the mountains. Chris Froome is back and has looked great again this season holding off Tejay to win the recent Dauphine. Froome is of course the 2013 champion and one of the best in cycling. His squad is less experienced  but Roche has plenty Tours behind him. With the support of Porte, Kennaugh, Konig and Rowe along with Thomas and Stannard he will be well looked after. The cobbles again are a worry early on it has a fear for Froome mentally.

Nairo Quintana has had a light season with very little racing as he focused on his time in Colombia and conducting the core of his training from there something Movistar has trusted him with. He looked fine in the racing we saw him in and the back to back climbing really suits him as should the heat. He has done plenty work to ensure his week 1 goes without trouble. His team looks extremely solid for doing well in team time trial and looking after him on the lower slops, but Valverde will prove a partner in crime with a free role. Last but not least we have the Giro champion Alberto Contador looking to double up. He was confident in his Tour tune up winning the Route de Sud and for me it is a worry in a much stronger field that he feels the pinch. Support is decent with climbers Basso, Kreuziger, Majka and Rogers, for the tricky days its interesting see how much Sagan commits to his yellow hopes over his green one.

Otherwise Ag2r go duel threat with Peraud, 2nd last year with mixed results this year with last years star showing from Bardet expected only to improve this season again. Pinot was 3rd last year and is the key focus of FDJ after his mountain top win in the Tour De Suisse. BMC have dauphine 2nd and big american prospect Tejay Van Garderen to work for. He has shown big glimpses before and we know he is great but maybe the climbing might get big much for him. Giant focus on stages but Barguil might be finally turning a corner to have some GC hopes this Tour De France 2015.

With so little time trialling Rodriguez has got to fancy his chances at one last crack at this, getting past week 1 again will challenge him. He had a quiet 8th in the Dauphine but he is truly flying under the radar in this one. He won Pais Vasco this year so really with lots of climbs and uphill finishes he should go very well. Support from his team is decent and varied to suit the terrain. Orica have the Yates twins, Adam can be good for classics days but Simon seems to excel even more on the big finishes and he was excellent in the Dauphine. Etixx have two good men to get involved on climbing days but the main focus will be around Cavendish in this team I would feel. Rolland who we all know can climb well but doesn’t show it often enough leads an all French line up for Europcar attracting a sponsor is on the cards.

The mountain days will test the teams

Lotto Jumbo come heavy handed with a wide plan of attack any of Keldermann, Gesink, Ten Dam or Giro hero Kruijswijk could take a top 10 play and perhaps a stage win. Trek will focus on Mollema here who has seen his season tail off a little while Zulbeldia might go for one of his anonymous top 20 finishes.  Lampre go with Rui Costa and he has really interested me by passing his usual chance in Suisse to compete well in the Dauphine, he has pushed for selection of Pozzatto to help in the opening week. He has some half decent climbing help including Oman winner Valls who has had a cracking season.

Cannondale have gone with a wide plan of attack, hopes for Talansky have been toned down after last seasons disappointments so the squad has been propped up with Dan Martin and Hesjedal who came to life in the Giro late on. Cofidis have a focus on winning with Bouhanni as was his wish when signing but don’t discount Navarro or Mate holding there own in the mountains. IAM look to be going with Frank but its an open leadership could Coppel find his best form here? Bora will be delighted to gain an invite and look to compete any way they can. Either of Voss or Huzarski could compete depending on how they fare early on. Bretagne Seche are led by the only non french man in the line up  Sepulveda he was 5th in the Route De Sud so a little off the top 2 in that.

Last but not least its great to see African team MTN take up its place here and there line up is decent. Overall I feel  Meintjes I feel is there best option and he really excelled in the Dauphine in the build up to this race but watch Kudus in them mountains if he makes it safe and sound.

Rodriguez should preform beyond his odds.

 Tour De France 2014 Verdict:

Firstly I have Froome, Pinot and Van Garderen, Rui Costa in the book at varying prices none that much over the current prices. Straight way from my overview of this Rodriguez looks far too big a price 2 years ago he would have been 5th favourite his decline hasn’t been that bad. He might be 33/1 with the books which given some doubts isn’t as good as the 150+ going on the exchanges. I will also add Tejay Van Garderen another 33/1 shot who can be got much bigger on exchanges in view of a possible trade. Of the four why not go with outsider Nibali who gets the edge to get ahead and capitalise from week 1. Of the four riders at the top of the market he would be the only one I would think is worth an each way as he is highly likely to make it safely through the race compared to the other three.

Sleep, Fat, Muscle, and Bodybuilding

Sleep, Fat, Muscle, and Bodybuilding

Most people realize sleep is important but few realize how incredibly important it is for bodybuilders, athletes and people wanting to lose a few pounds.   If you want to gain muscle, lose fat, or maximize your athletic performance you cannot be sleep deprived.  We live in a world of sleep deprived people.  With every passing year there are more demands on our time: school, work, family, friends, facebook, television, the internet.   The average person sleeps an hour less each night than those a century ago and its not because we need less sleep.  If you are serious about losing fat or bodybuilding then you must get enough sleep, lets look at why its so important that you turn off the TV and go to bed early.

If you are sleep deprived:

  1. You get fatter
  2. You burn muscle rather than fat
  3. Your athletic skills decrease by 9%

How is that for three great reasons to get enough sleep???  The easiest way to lose fat is to get enough sleep! Sleep is very important in regulating hormones. Turns out that when you are sleep deprived your leptin decrease and your ghrelin levels increase which causes your metabolism to slow down. It also makes you hungrier so that you eat more. Sleep deprivation is a double-bad for people trying to lose weight – it makes you burn off fewer calories AND it makes you eat more, so you get FAT!  (references 1, 2, 3)

Sleep deprivation makes you burn muscle rather than fat! If you are dieting while sleep deprived, you will burn twice as much muscle and only half as much fat. The message is clear, if you are on any sort of a diet trying to get ripped you MUST get enough sleep or you will lose muscle instead of fat!  If you are eating less than your TDEE in an attempt to lose weight, you must get enough sleep or the weight you will be losing will be muscle instead of fat. (reference 4)

Sleep deprivation slow you down, its like being drunk all day long. Not only do your run 4.5% slower but your athletic skills decrease by 9%. Your free throw accuracy decreases by 9% and your three-point field goal accuracy decreases by 9%. The easiest way to be at your peak performance is to get enough sleep.  (references 5, 6)

Thats a pretty scary list and problems with not getting enough sleep and I haven’t even bother to bore you with it does to your ability to learn or the health problems associated with not getting enough sleep. You will note that I didn’t mention about more sleep helping you gain muscle. Although it seems reasonable that more sleep helps you gain muscle faster, I couldn’t find any solid proof. Sleep deprivation increases your cortisol which makes it harder to gain muscle and increases the risk of overtraining. There is a link between growth hormone and sleep but it isn’t clear to me.

Now I know that most of you say you get enough sleep but most of you are just fooling yourself. We are a planet of sleep deprived people. I have a very simple definition of sleep deprivation – if an alarm clock wakes you up, you are sleep deprived – period. You have been awakened before your body was fully rested and all its internal housekeeping is done. Most people use alarm clocks but you don’t have to, its all about time management.

All the time I hear people say “I don’t need a lot of sleep” – I don’t buy it. If sleeping too much makes you groggy and tired then you should see a doctor asap because you probably have sleep apnea.  If you “only need 6 hrs sleep” its probably because of stress, anxiety or too much caffeine consumption.  Although many can fall to sleep when very tired if they have residual caffeine in their systems or are stressed about something, when they wake up in the middle of the night they have real trouble getting back to sleep – this is not an indication that they don’t need more sleep!  Its an indication that they have a problem that needs solving so they can get the sleep their body needs!

So thats it, four great reasons to get enough sleep:

  1. makes you leaner
  2. makes you lose fat rather than muscle
  3. helps you gain muscle
  4. increases athletic skills

How to get enough sleep

You don’t have time for enough sleep?  WRONG!  Its all time management.  People always ask me how I have time for all the things I get accomplished every day. I work two jobs, I workout 2 hours a day, I do videos to upload to YouTube, I answer peoples questions on facebook and the AskScooby forum, I spend time with family and friends, I add content to my website, I travel,  and I get enough sleep.  If I can do it, you can too.  How do I accomplish that in 24 hours? Time management!  I set priorities and do the things that are important to me first!  Life is about priorities and most people spend way too much time doing unimportant things, cut those out so you have time for the really important stuff.  I don’t watch TV, I don’t use facebook except to answer peoples fitness questions, I don’t text, I never use chat, I never talk idly on the phone, I don’t play video games, I don’t clean my house, I only wash clothes every two weeks, I mow the lawn only once a month, the attic has never been cleaned out, and I only answer mail once a month – why?  Because those things are not nearly as important to me as my life goals and there isn’t time enough for everything.  If I have an unkept house and yard and have to wear a dirty pair of underpants, so be it.  🙂

I would like to share with you a simple book that changed my life 30 years ago, its called “Seven habits of highly effective people”.  This is the best $8 you will ever spend.  If you don’t have $8, here is the basic concept for free, its a top-down approach.  Start by writing the different roles in your life, for example: spouse, father, employee, athlete, author, student,  and artist.  Then write your long term goals for each of those roles.  Now break those down into short term goals.  Now break those down into small daily tasks.  Every morning when you get up, write down your goals for the day.  You should include a few small tasks from each of your roles.  For example, you goal in your role as author is to win the Pulitzer prize but you cant write at all and your reading vocabulary is at a 3rd grade level.  A great daily goal is to learn 3 new words every day!  Its an oppressive, impossible goal to think about winning the pulitzer prize but anybody can learn 3 new words in a day!  Even the loftiest goal is easy when you whittle away a little bit at it each day.

Every day, you make a little bit of progress toward your ultimate goals.  This feels SO good.  To know you are on track toward your ultimate goal and that you are determining your destiny.  If you don’t have goals, others will determine them for you – don’t let this happen!  Its easy to stay excited and invigorated about life when you are following your dreams.  Its also very easy to say “no” to things that are not a priority without feeling like you are missing anything.  I don’t watch Television, any television.  Do I miss it?  No!  The average American watches over 3 hours of TV a day and is on facebook over 1 hour a day, no wonder they are sleep deprived and cant accomplish their goals! 1/6 of their day wasted.  Please, buy this book and change your life!

So what on earth does time management have to do with sleep?  Everything!  Here is how you can get enough sleep without an alarm clock and still make it to work or school on time:

  1. Consume no caffeinated beverages, no coke, no coffee, no tea, no red bull, and no chocolate – not even in the morning.  Caffeine stays in your system a long time and even a strong dose of morning coffee can interfere with your sleep.
  2. Go to bed early, really early – 8pm or at latest 9pm even if you are “busy”.  Remember, sleep has to be a priority.  Keeping this regular schedule even on weekends is the best practice as the body likes a regular sleep schedule.  I know its a drag to tell your buddies at 9pm on Saturday night that you have to go to bed but they wont laugh so loud when your physique outpaces theirs.  Going to bed this early requires strict time management!
  3. Wake up naturally, for most people that will be 4-6am.
  4. Because you are up so early, you have lots of quality time in the morning before work or school. Start by making your todo list for the day and make sure to include a few items from all your goals.  The quiet early morning is a great time for study, be it school or just nutrition or physiology books for your bodybuilding.

This concept seems so foreign to us because in the western world we are SO used to being just in time and rush, rush, rush but there is an easier and lower stress way to run your life.  Instead of always being late and rushing, get places way early and then use any spare time once you get there to do something thats on your list of goals.  If it takes 15 minutes to get to work, allow 30 minutes for the commute.  If there is a traffic jam, you don’t stress.  If there is no traffic jam, use that 15 minutes to make those important calls or do other important tasks on your “todo” list.  Give it a try, once you see how stress free life can be you will never go back.

Getting enough sleep is vitally important for losing fat and gaining muscle, make sleep a priority in your life!

Porous pavements

Started: October 2014

Supervisors: Dr Hong Wong; Professor Chris Cheeseman

Description of Research

This research is investigating the permeability degradation in pervious concrete by developing fundamental understanding of clogging processes. The aim is to understand the effect of microstructure on clogging and develop a pervious concrete mix that not only has sufficient porosity for storm-water infiltration, but also maintains that porosity throughout its service life. Solving the clogging problem will make a major contribution towards sustainable urbanisation and the protection of critical infrastructure from surface flooding.

This is for Magnolia Down Under- wonderful, wonderful sketch over there, I love it! I couldn't decide what to do for sure, had two stamps I wanted to I ended up using both! How you say.....I used the rainbow as background, then colored and cut out the trees on my winter night stamp and added them to this card! I am pretty tickled with the result........I think it's a "cute" fit!! I distressed the images very lightly, didn't want the colors too dark. I followed the sketch, but added just a twist to it....put the banner below and moved tag and strip of paper to other side! Was a really fun card to making those bannner's, I even added one to the bottom inside of card! This is also for Crafty Cardmakers (summer memory) Hope you like it! Thanks so much for takin'a peek! Teresa*

Italy triumph in Cardiff

Italy picked up their first points of the season winning a tight game 22-15 under the roof at the Principality Stadium. The official attendance figure was 11,062 for the first of a double-header - but a considerable margin a UK record for the Six Nations.

With early start and the roof closed at the Principality Stadium (the first “indoor” women’s test), Wales hosted Italy on Sunday morning in Cardiff.

Wales began with most of the possession, but Italy looked more dangerous when they had the ball, and after nine minutes got the first try. A short period of pressure near the Welsh line gave them an overlap on the right, with Isabella Locatelli finding the space to score. With the conversion they lead by 7-0.

Despite continuing to have most of the possession the first half was more than halfway through before Wales managed to spend significant time in the Italian 22. Errors prevented a maul from getting on the board, but after half an hour Robyn Wilkins was on hand to slot a simple penalty.

Wales took the lead three minutes later when Alisha Butchers ended a move started with a great break Butchers herself and Sioned Harries. Wales lead 8-7 after 33 minutes.

But they were not to take lead into the break. An Italian scrum over on the right touchline resulted in a wonderful passing move by Italy, taking the ball rapidly across the field with win Marua Magatti on hand to score. Italy went into the break with a narrow 12-8 lead.

The second half opened with a third Italian try, with Veronica Madia slicing through the Italian line, but tackled 3m short. But the ball was rapidly recycled left to find Beatrice Rigoni who scored in the corner. 17-8. To make matters worse Wales were soon down to 14 players when Mel Clay was sent to the bin.

Wales still dominated possession but suffered a second yellow when Butchers was penalised for an illegal tackle. But with Clay back on, they pulled back to within two points thanks to a quickly taken 5m penalty, leading to a try from Harries in the corner – and an excellent conversion by Wilkins.

Wales could now have taken the game, but the football skills of Magatti kicking ahead down the touchline put Italy back on the Welsh 5m – and with Harries isolated also lead to a third yellow card against for Harries holding on. With just a couple of minutes to go Italy kept the pressure on the Welsh line, engineering a huge overlap with Michela Sillari adding a fourth bonus point score for Italy.

We've been looking at automatic coffee machines for some time, and last weekend a rather good salesperson at John Lewis persuaded the purchase of this Magimix Nespresso one.

It came accompanied by a small milk heater, so that you can make espresso and also fancy capuccino or pretty much any other coffee you like. It's even ideal for making hot chocolate and the milk heater has a little whisk inside that foams everything up nicely too.

I've never actually been much of a fan of espresso - usually I want to sip my coffee for a while, and I never take milk, but the rest of the family wanted this, so we got it.

And today, I actually found an excellent use of our new machine for me. I have about five minutes usually in the morning between being fully dressed ready for work, and leaving the house. As a black coffee drinker, that just isn't enough time. But, as a Nespresso drinker, I was able to prepare everything and have a shot of morning caffeine in less than three of those precious pre-dawn minutes. It comes out hot, but not boiling, so can be knocked back in a couple of gulps. Excellent rocket fuel before I hurtle down the road on my bike to the station.

Fax: 386.506.5071

Mission Statement

"In a caring, cooperative environment, the Seabreeze Family strives to provide opportunities for everyone to realize individual potential, to encourage ethical behavior, and to develop skills for lifelong success."

ATTENDANCE Check-Out policy and procedures

Under Florida's compulsory school attendance law, each parent/legal guardian of a child within the compulsory attendance age is responsible for such child's school attendance. Compulsory school requirements shall apply until the student turns eighteen, graduates or until the parent/legal guardian signs the declaration of intent to terminate school enrollment.

Read STUDENT ATTENDANCE POLICY in the Code of Conduct manual that was sent home. As high school absences can result in loss of permit/driving privileges for students, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CALL AND REPORT any EXCUSED student absence as soon as possible.

Please call (386)258-4674 Ext: 54617 before 11:00 A.M. to excuse Absences/Tardies or call Ext: 54616 for Checkouts and provide the following information:

1. Students name and ALPHA CODE (XXXX)

2. Date of absence

3. Caller's Name & Call Back #

4. Brief reason for absence/tardy/checkout

This will ensure an accurate attendance report and alleviate problems with make-up work.

The attendance office does not assume the parent is aware of the child not being at school. You are to call school same day of the absence so the student is not considered truant. This also applies to late arrivals and leaving campus.

*This applies when excusing late arrivals or early checkouts. For excused early checkouts, call 30 minutes prior to checkout time. It is required you come to the attendance office to sign the student out. Early checkouts end 15 minutes prior to the end of the school day.

* Lates to Period 5 (after lunch) require documentation to be excused.

* Freshman students and students who do not qualify for off campus privileges cannot go off campus unless the parent/guardian comes into the attendance office and signs the student out.

* Excused absences should be for the following reasons: student illness, family emergency, death in the family, medical appointments, and religious holidays.

* For students with chronic illnesses resulting in excessive absences, a parent must provide an emergency care plan from the student’s doctor. This must be submitted to the school (nurse) each school year.

* As a last resort, school social workers may seek criminal prosecution of parents for noncompliance with the Florida Compulsory Attendance Law. (Refer to student attendance policy in the Code of Conduct manual)

What happens when YOU don’t attend school regularly?

The Florida Legislation has enacted requirements that schools report to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) the names of those students who have failed to satisfy attendance requirements. Specifically, this refers to those students who accumulated fifteen unexcused (excluding out of school suspension) absences within 90 calendar days or who have withdrawn from school under one of the state designated dropout codes. The legislation further provides that those students who fail to satisfy attendance requirements will be ineligible for driving privileges.

The Clinic

It is extremely important that emergency cards be updated each school year and throughout the school year. These should also include any person who is allowed to pick up your student from school in the event we cannot contact you in an emergency.

If your student has an emergency care plan, please be sure to have your doctor update an “Emergency Health Care Plan” form for the nurse so we are aware of any emergency issue involving your student.

Any medication your student is required to take during school hours requires a form be filled out. This form “Authorization for School Personnel to Administer Prescription Medication to Student” must be completed by the student’s parent/guardian and the doctor must sign and state how the medication is to be taken. The medication must be clearly marked in its original container.

Any questions? Please contact our school nurse, at 258-4674 ext. 54898

Visitor Policy

Visitors to Seabreeze High School are required to check-in at the welcome center located at the entrance to our school. Visitors will be asked to state their purpose of the visit and will be sent to the main office where they will be asked to present a PHOTO ID, then issued a visitor pass which must be worn at all times during their stay. Visitors are asked to please park in the front parking area and proceed directly to their specified destination. Visitor passes are to be returned to the main office when exiting the campus.

Vehicles While On Campus

All staff, student and visitor vehicles on campus are locked and no weapons or illegal contraband are permitted to be in vehicles while on the school campus. Posession of a concealed weapons permit DOES NOT remove this prohibition.

Any questions, contact the main office 386.258.4674

Answer: You mean.. they explode?

It's true: some plants DO explode, including ones that look quiet and serene in botanical gardens

Waimea Arboretum

As I did this research, the biggest surprise to me was that there are a LOT of plants that explode.  Luckily, most of them are reasonably small and gentle.  But there are some that can be deadly.

The comments this week were especially fantastic.  This week I'm going to lightly edit Regular Reader Mike's answer because it was great.  Nice job, Mike!  (I've added my comments in a different font so you can see them.)

Remember that the Challenges this week are:

1.  Are there, in fact, dangerous trees that can somehow eject sharp bits of themselves, potentially hurting a human being?  (If so... HOW would it do this?  So far as I know, few plants - venus fly traps aside - are capable of much movement.)
2.  More generally, are there other plants that can hurl seeds?  You can imagine this might be a handy evolutionary mechanism to have--but again, how would that seed-hurling mechanism actually work?  Do they have little plant muscles??

AlmadenMike writes:

A few years ago, I let a small section of backyard grass go untended before a remodel that would replace it with a patio. When it went to seed, I experienced a spectacular ankle-high show of seed-spouting fireworks with every step. Merely brushing against my pants was enough to set off the blasts. I thought I’d start with this search to try to identify that grass and go from there:

     [grass projectile seeds]

But the fourth hit was an article in a gardening blog that described the entire phenomenon: Examples of plants that disperse seeds by shooting them.

The article starts:
“Some plants disperse their seeds forcefully by ejecting them. Sometimes the tension is so great, seeds may be ejected up to 200 feet away from the mother plant. This method of seed dispersal is called ballistichory, a label that hints at the projectile-like emergence of seeds from their pods or capsules. This type of seed dispersal occurs because the fibers in the dried fruit pull against each other to create tension, and when the tension is great enough, the fruit splits open and the walls of the fruit spring back, flinging the seeds out with force.”

It listed four plant families that had significant ballistichoric seed ejections: Pea family (Fabaceae), Euphorbia (Euphorbiaceae), Acanthus (Acanthaceae) and Mallow (Malvaceae). "In the pea family are “Orchid trees” (Bauhinia spp.), (which) bear large pods that can fling seeds nearly 50 feet."

I didn’t see any plant list for the Waimea Arboretum or Botanic Garden ... and no searches for those places and “dangerous tree” got any hits. But I thought your “dangerous tree” might have been a Bauhinia

Searching for:

    [bauhinia ballistichory]

led to this informative article (second hit) about two more capable exploding seed capsule trees.  It's called, "Going Ballistic."  From the article:
“One interesting example from the tropics is the genus Pentaclethra, a relative of Bauhinia. An experienced botanist reported that Pentaclethra was the only plant he knew whose pods opened so explosively and forcefully that they could break the sturdy oaken presses that botanists use to press and dry their plant specimens. For all its press-shattering strength, Pentaclethra throws its seeds only about 33 feet from the parent tree, which, ironically, is not as far as the gentle Bauhinia. Just for the record, the world champion ballistics title belongs to an African tree in the Legume family, Tetraberlinia moreliana, which throws its seeds almost 200 feet!”
The latter may have come from the 1997 paper: “Explosive Seed Dispersal of the Rainforest Tree Tetraberlinia moreliana (Leguminosae - Caesalpinioideae) in Gabon” by Xander M. Van Der Burgt, (Journal of Tropical Ecology - Vol. 13, No. 1 (Jan., 1997), pp. 145-151).  (You can find this paper by searching for Tetraberlinia moreliana seeds ] in Google Scholar--it's the first hit.  In this paper I read that:
“The dehiscence [i.e., the rupture of the seed pod] is caused by tension that builds up between the two valves [sides of the seed pods] during drying. Mature pods explode with a crack during periods of sunshine.”

One tree he monitored produced an estimated 15,000-20,000 seeds, with 1.5-2% of those seeds projected over 50 meters away. The longest distance was 60 meters (nearly 197 feet). (With discussions of launch angle and wind-speed dispersions, this paper read almost like an analysis of a golfer testing drivers.) The author also speculates that such explosive dispersal is handy for "...high forest trees, from which large seeds lacking dispersal
devices are thrown many metres away."

[ Dan:  I couldn't help but include a diagram fro Van Burgt's paper. It neatly summarizes why plants would develop such explosive seed dispersal mechanisms...]

Van Der Burgt’s paper also mentions that the exit velocity for the test tree was 37.1 meters/second … which was less than nature’s fastest.  That high speed mark belongs to Hura creptitans, aka Sandbox tree or Dynamite tree, which launched its seeds at 70m/s (157 miles/hour).

This tree, Hura creptitans, may well be your “dangerous tree.” (FWIW, The sap is also poisonous.)

Googling simply:

     [“Sandbox tree” danger]

turned up a host of articles and videos. Among the best is this article from a gardening blog, Sandbox Tree Facts.
“Considered one of the most dangerous plants in the world, the sandbox tree isn’t suitable for home landscapes, or any landscape actually. … Sandbox tree fruit looks like little pumpkins, but once they dry into seed capsules, they become ticking time bombs. When fully mature, they explode with a loud bang and fling their hard, flattened seeds at speeds of up to 150 miles per hour and distances of over 60 feet. The shrapnel can seriously injure any person or animal in its path.”
I found two videos (although none show the H. crepitans seeds exploding on their own without a tap to get them going).

This is a nice video of Hura crepitans (Sandbox tree), showing its formidable spines:   (

and a Smithsonian Channel video of several exploding-seed plants including the remarkable exploding cucumber, worth watching on its own (as it's an example of explosive seed dispersal that uses fluid pressure, not dehiscense to eject its seeds). Unfortunately, there's no Sandbox tree in this video.  It's still worth watching:

The “Going Ballistic” article also succinctly described the ballistichory mechanism: “All of these plants rely on the drying of the fruit wall to generate tension. The wall of a ballistic fruit has at least two layers in which the woody fibers are oriented in different directions, usually at right angles. As the woody fibers dry, the layers pull against each other. When at last the fruit fractures along a predetermined seam or weak spot, the walls curl, throwing the seeds a considerable distance. … It is the drying of the fruit that supplies the tension.”

So my answers to your questions would be:

1) Several trees do eject their seeds with an explosive speed of 30-70 meters per second that can send them nearly 200 feet away. One could imagine that it might be hazardous to stand very close to one of the seed pods at the time of its ballistichoric dehiscense. Especially those of the Sandbox/Dynamite Tree, Hura creptitans.
2) Yes, quite a few plants eject their seeds with explosive force. The mechanism (described in more detail above) involves increasing tension within a seed pod as it dries, and explosive ejection of the seeds when the pod eventually ruptures.

Finally, after finding all this, I did not look further to identify the grass that I’d had in my backyard.

AlmadenMike has it right. The magical words to know here are dehiscense and ballistichoric. Once you start running into technical terms in the middle of your search, its time to start paying attention--especially once you look them up and learn that these concepts are central to what you seek.

Similar topic search:  Mike started his search by looking for explosive dispersal of seeds, and then learned the word "ballistichory," which then led him to the Bauhinia plant, which led him to the Sandbox Tree, Hura creptitans.

I followed a similar path, but started with the query:

     [ explosive seeds Hawaii ]

which got me to Hura creptitans fairly quickly.

Once I knew the Latin name, a YouTube search found me a video of the fruit exploding (after being hit with a piece of wood).

Look twenty seconds into this video for the impressive explosion, which would account for the sounds I heard in the arboretum.

And, just to verify that this was the tree that I'd walked near, I did this search:

     [ Hura creptitans Waimea ]

I will admit that I ended up having to go to Google Images as a way to ensure that there IS a Hura creptitans at the Waimea arboretum.  (Like AlmadenMike, I wasn't able to find a plant list for the arboretum.  I'm sure they have one, but not online.)

In any case, my Google Image search led me to a Pictaram image collection of Hura creptitans (who knew such a thing would exist?), and in that collection, there are a couple images of the Sandbox tree with the hashtags #arboretum and #WaimeaValley.  That convinces me that there really is at least one Sandbox tree in the Waimea Arboretum.

P/C Ronald Casallas

AlmadenMike started his search by looking for a rapidly ejecting grass seeds.  Luckily, I remembered seeing such a thing in my own yard, and was able to find out what causes it.  (And, double lucky, AlmadenMike also live in the Silicon Valley.)

I tracked my "exploding grass seeds" to the Yellow Woodsorrel (Oxalis stricta).  Wikipedia tells us that: "The mature seed capsules open explosively when disturbed and can disperse seeds up to 4 meters (about 13 feet) away." There's a lovely video of these seeds ejecting when touched by a human...

I will tell you from personal experience that when the conditions are right, touching just one seed pod can cause it to fling seeds every which way, causing a kind of mass seed ejection chain reaction, when thousands of seeds from neighboring seed pods are sent flying after being hit by an errant seed.

Search Lessons

1.  Search for a parallel that you know about.  I really liked AlmadenMike's strategy of searching for something he already knew about (the exploding grass seeds), and then learning what terms he should use in later searches. From an article about exploding grass seeds he picked up the word "ballistichory," and was able to use that term to focus in on ballistichoric tree pods and seeds as well.
2. Learn to notice special technical terms.  Before starting this search, I'd never heard of dehscience, OR ballistchory.  While they probably won't be part of my everyday speech, they're exactly the right words to use in this bit of research.  By using specialty terms, your chance of finding exactly the right concept is improved.  (But be sure to get the right definitions... you don't want to use the wrong technical term!)
3.  Sometimes Images are where you'll find the connection.  Honestly, I was expecting the Arboretum to have a plant list, or at least an online page highlighting some of their more spectacular plants.  But I wasn't able to find that.  However, by using Image search I was able to discover at least one person who knew that there is a Sandbox Tree at the Waimea Arboretum.

As I was writing this blog post, I got an email from Regular Reader Ramón who took the initiative to write to the Director of the Waimea Arboretum to ask about explosive plants.

He wrote:
"[I'm searching in the Waimea Arboretum for] .. a tree that has ballistic seed dispersal and we trying to find more information about it. [Dr. Russell] will give an answer next week. But, the intention is to find the information before searching online.
Do you have more information about what tree is this in the valley? Maybe is not a tree but a plant."

And the Director wrote back!

"What Dr. Russell mentioned could be these trees: The rubber tree Hevea brasilliensis or the Sandbox tree – Hura crepitans.  There may be others but these are what came to my mind.  Thanks, Josie."

This makes it pretty clear that it could be one of these two plants.  Both have explosive seed dispersal mechanisms.

This leads to a 4th Search Lesson:
4.  Ask questions of people who know.  Ramón's method of simply writing to someone who knows can be a real life-saver when dealing with complex research questions.  Google is great, but so are people--especially experts who are right there and can check the ground truth for you.

After all this, my bet is on the Sandbox tree as the source of the overhead crack, whiz, and zing.

I forgot to mention that I also remember standing near a large, very dangerous-looking spiny tree when the seed pod flew overhead.  It's possible that I was looking at the Sandbox tree while the rubber plant seed exploded behind me, but it seems unlikely.

Of course, maybe I'll have to return to the North Shore of Oahu to find out...

Search on!

Attention Black America: Occupy Wall Street Is About You, Too

Occupy Wall Street minority protesters say that African-Americans need help more than anyone.

Occupy Wall Street is about Black America too

Occupy Wall Street has officially entered its fourth week and African-American supporters are saying that their communities, more than anyone, need to be showing their support.

“If any other community needs a bailout, it’s the African-American community,” says hip hop artist Jasiri X, who has joined the protesters in Lower Manhattan. “Not only do we have a foreclosure crisis, but we have abandoned homes, we have poverty problems, we have young Black male unemployment.”

Jasiri X traveled from Pittsburgh, which was recently named the poorest Black community in the country, to Occupy Wall Street, the movement that is demanding that the government support education, infrastructure and jobs, get rid of corporate tax loopholes, and strengthen democracy. He says that he’s in New York to make sure that the voices of the Black communities are heard.

“I think that as African-Americans, the economic bailout on Wall Street and the foreclosure crisis has hit our community the worst. We’re like the 99 [percent] below the 99 in our communities, so I think that it’s important for us to be here and be counted and make sure that as we are holding Wall Street accountable,” he says.

Jasiri X has previously composed and performed political hip hop, with songs about the Jena 6 and the Tea Party. But his new track “We the 99” has been live-streamed for the past few weeks on numerous sites covering the downtown protests. In it he speaks of the majority being deceived, of the economy collapsing and how it’s time for citizens to stand for what they believe is fair.

He declares that African-Americans are the last to be helped and the most frequently overlooked, and he wants them to be more aware and more involved.

“I think a lot of us are disconnected to what’s happening on a worldwide level because a lot of time in our communities we are working two to three jobs, taking care of our communities, just to make ends meet,” he says.

Like Jasiri X, Caren Daley also wishes more Blacks would support. Daley, a mother, college graduate and breast cancer survivor, has been homeless for two years.

“My children are asking me constantly, ‘Why are we living like this, mommy?' And I have to tell them America is suffering. The government is helping everybody else but is not helping the poor,” she says.

Both Daley and Jasiri X say they’re there representing their communities, and they both hope that America listens to the cry of the people.

“We need help. We need change,” Daley says.

Kajbasovo Station description

Station name and owner

Kajbasovo Research Station, Tomsk State University, Russia

  1. General area:  28000hectares
  2. Protection status of area: (e.g. national park, protected area, scientific reference area, public land). A public land, LLC (limited liability company) “KEDR” hunting grounds
  3. The location in relation to larger landscape features (fiord, valley, mountain, river, lake) and settlements: The station is located in the floodland of the middle course of the Ob River, the longest river in Russia (5410 km) and the second-longest one in Asia. The station is located 60 km north-west from the city of Tomsk, 20 km north-west of the Krivosheino village and 12 km south-east from the Novo-Nikolskoye village, all of them are located in the Tomsk region. In the immediate vicinity the elite private camping site for fishermen and hunters is located. It accommodates about 20 people.

N57°14'45,38" E84°11'06,17"

Biodiversity and natural environment

The climate is temperate continental, the average annual temperature - 0.8 0C, an average January temperature: -17,1 ° C, an average July temperature: +18,7 ° C, average annual rainfall of 482 mm.

The station is located in the floodland of the Ob River, which is, on the one hand, a huge source of revenue in the global ocean minerals, carbon dioxide and methane, and on the other hand - is a giant geochemical barrier, which regulates the flow of substances and elements from catchment basin in the Ob river. Floodlands are more favorable moisture, heat, mineral nutrition compared to non-inundated areas and, therefore, floodlands are the richest landscapes on the territory of Siberia in terms of productivity and biological diversity. The vegetation cover of the Ob River floodland is represented by different types of large-scale herbs meadows, by swampy meadow phytocenoses and by floodland forests. The fauna is diverse. We can encounted the following species: bear, moose, beaver, muskrat, mink, otter, squirrel, ermine, hare, weasel, fox, lynx, polecat, badger, sable, wolverine. Close to the station a  numerous species of birds inhabit: chicken, waterfowl, loons and others similar, gulls, pigeons, daytime predators and others. Some of them - the capercaillie, black grouse, hazel grouse and many geese - are being hunted, others - peregrine falcon, white-tailed eagle, osprey –are included in the Red Book of Russia. In 2011 the black crane has been watched in the vicinity of the station. In the (lakes, ponds..) there are perch, pike, roach, dace, ide, bream, tench, carp and others in the floodplain basins near the station. The number of valuable species of fish: sturgeon, sturgeon, whitefish, peled, white salmon, and others are occurred in the Ob River.

History and facilities

The base is located on the bank of the Ob River. In the years 1977-2001 there were carried out the full-scale soil-geobotanical studies of the soil and vegetation, as well as the researches of physics-chemical and water-physical properties of the soils, which were carried out by the Soil Science Laboratory of the TSU Biology and Biophysics Research Institute and by the TSU Department of Soil Science.

In 2010, the employee of TSU V.Drozdov has built a house for 7 people, sauna and outbuildings on this territory. These structures are the basis of the Station.

In 2015, the Station was equipped with 3 wagons (apartment for 8 people, mobile laboratory and special conference-wagon). Maximum capacity of the houses are 15 people;  in the summer season,  more than 50 people in the tents.

Communication is carried out by the cellular and shortwave radio. Access to the Internet is via the satellite of "Gazprom" corporation The station is equipped by meteorological complex, by sensors and logger of the soil temperature, of the surface and ground waters levels, of the depth of the snow cover.

At the station, there are boats and outboard motors, snowmobiles, snow-swampmbile "Argo Avenger 8x8», quadrocopter with equipment for aerial photography and thermal shooting, drilling rig to drill the soil to a depth of 25 meters, specialized sampling equipment, refrigeration equipment

Meals are centralized or independent (as agreed)

General research and databases

Research areas: biotic cycle of carbon and accompanying elements in the floodplain; migration of water-soluble substances from the catchment ecosystems to the water bodies; hydrochemical, hydrobiological and ichthyological characteristics of the waters of the middle course of the Ob River; optimizing productivity; ornithology and fauna studies.

There are long-term materials (1977-2001 g) of field investigations of soil and vegetation of the floodplain, physical and physical-chemical properties of the soils, hydro-chemical properties of the water bodies.

In the 30-minute vicinity (17 km) is located a former ichthyological and hydrobiological site "Monatki" in which a long time ichthyologic, hydrobiological and ornithological studies were carrying out.

Human dimension

In 5 BC. – 5AD in the forest zone kulayskaya culture has developed, on the depths of which were formed the nations - Selkup, Khanty and Siberian Tatars which inhabit this territory now. The face of the Tomsk region started to change vary considerably with the migration of Russian population. Russian now makes up the majority of the population.

The leading sector of the economy in the area is agriculture. Plant cultivation and animal husbandry industries are develop stably. But the main wealth of the area in which the station is located - forests, which have significant reserves of wild plants: mushrooms, nuts and berries. The local people actively collect and sell its.

There are 4 direct 4-hours flights from Moscow to Tomsk, by different Airlines: S7 and Transaero from Domodedovo airport, Utair from Vnukovo airport and Aeroflot from Sheremetyevo airport. There is also a direct train Moscow-Tomsk named “Tomich” , along the famous Trans-Siberian Railway. This takes 2 and a half days.

Station can be reached by car from the airport Tomsk (4 hours), as well as by the water transport from the Tomsk river-harbor (3 hours).

Summer Forecast: Where will KD, Kawhi, Kyrie play in 2019-20?

This summer, we saw LeBron James leave for the Lakers, Kawhi Leonard and DeMar DeRozan trade places, and DeMarcus Cousins join the champion Warriors.

Next summer? We could see even more NBA stars on the move.

Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler and Leonard headline a star-studded 2019 free-agent class that can hit the market when more teams will have cap space.

Where could they land next summer?

We asked our ESPN Forecast panel to predict where the top five free agents will start the 2019-20 season.

Here are the results:

Where will Kyrie Irving start the 2019-20 season?

Reports swirled earlier this summer that Irving was aiming to team up with Butler, potentially in New York, where the Knicks should have the space to add a max player. (Adding two would take some creativity with the current roster.)

Irving grew up in West Orange, New Jersey, and might leap at the opportunity to play in front of home area fans. However, our panel also gave the Celtics a very good chance of retaining Irving -- a chance that could improve if Irving and the Celtics take advantage of the LeBron-less East and reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 2010. -- Adam Reisinger

Where will Jimmy Butler start the 2019-20 season?

As with Irving, our panel sees New York as Butler's most likely destination, though it's difficult to see at this moment how the Knicks would create the cap space for both of them (not to mention the chance Durant chooses New York too). Perhaps most telling about these results though is the fact that 10 possible Butler destinations were listed, in addition to his current team.

Butler was also the only player in our Forecast for whom his current team didn't finish first or second in the voting, with only 12 percent of panelists seeing Minnesota as his long-term home. Expect the four-time All-Star to have a new team next summer. -- Reisinger

Where will Kawhi Leonard start the 2019-20 season?

The Lakers weren't able to swing a trade for the former Finals MVP this summer, but the majority of our panel still thinks Leonard will be wearing purple and gold in 2019-20.

Leonard has reportedly stated his preference for playing in Los Angeles, making James' new squad the front-runners for when Leonard becomes a free agent next summer. Their Staples Center neighbors, the Clippers, also received votes, finishing just behind Toronto, the team that was able to eventually pry Leonard out of San Antonio.

Because of the Lakers' use of one-year contracts this offseason, they will almost certainly have the cap space necessary to lure Leonard back over the border in 2019. -- Reisinger

Where will Kevin Durant start the 2019-20 season?

The two-time reigning Finals MVP has already taken a pair of discounted deals with the Warriors, so the biggest question regarding his free agency next summer might not be where he'll sign, but for how much he'll sign. The majority of our panel sees him staying with the Warriors, with the bright spotlight of Madison Square Garden as a potential lure.

Two low-percentage options are the most intriguing. KD back to OKC? There's almost no way to make that work under the cap -- not to mention the years of hurt feelings that would have to be set aside -- but it'd be amazing to see. KD to LA to team up with LeBron? That'd be a seismic NBA shift. -- Reisinger

Where will Klay Thompson start the 2019-20 season?

The Warriors' sharpshooter just re-upped with Chinese sneaker brand Anta, providing him with the kind of supplementary income that might not force him to chase a max contract in 2019 -- or Golden State could decide that Thompson is worth keeping around at the max, regardless of luxury tax concerns. Plus, Thompson will be supermax eligible next summer if he earns another All-NBA nod.

Either way, our panel sees Thompson staying in the Bay Area as the Warriors move into their new arena in San Francisco next season. But keep an eye on Los Angeles, where Thompson's father Mychal won a pair of titles with the Lakers in the 1980s and where Klay was born and raised. -- Reisinger

Arsenal’s defensive faults and Transformation under Unai

Arsenal has triumphed in 12 games in all competitions with 1 draw and 2 losses with Arsene Wenger’s successor Unai Emery in the driving seat.

Arsenal welcomed the 2017-18 season as their 26th Premier League season and 98th in the top flight of English football.

That marked the end of Arsène Wenger’s error and was the 21st and final season for the French man, as he sadly announced his departure from the club on 20 April 2018.

Arsenal participated in the Premier League, FA Cup as the defending champions, the EFL Cup, and the UEFA Europa League and was eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the semi Final.

A new era began under Unai Emery and there have been significant changes from the Team’s style of play, tactical aspects and character.

But how has Arsenal changed from Wenger’s era to the Unai era?

First there are negative and positive things to look at in this article. Let’s divide them into three aspects, that’s Defense, offence and midfield;

The major difference between Unai Emery’s Arsenal and Wenger’s, is the general shape of the team.

Under Wenger Arsenal didn’t press the opponent much as they had Sanchez Upfront as the only man running and pressing and not getting any support from the teammates, Whereas Emery has improved Arsenal’s pressing very significantly and defense is an important part of pressing.

Pressing high up the pitch, you need to do it as one team, with close gaps not more than 15-20 meters between the offensive and defensive line. This is the same exact style Maurizio Sari is using at Chelsea; attack and defend as a team.

                                                  In the picture there above arsenal are keeping the gap as Chelsea is playing the ball back and also closing the gap up.

But for this system to work well you have to be with a perfect organized defense and that is where arsenal needs much more improvement because sometimes they switch off more so on the right back side where Bellerin plays.

Playing as a close unit has many benefits but on the side of Arsenal they still needs to improve on it, to avoid these runs behind the line.

Another observation I have taken and it’s of great change is, Arsenal playing the ball out from the back, has many advantages when it’s done in the right way because it invites the opponent to press you creating the open spaces for your team to attack and also to keep the possession so that your opponent is forced to move up the pitch and press creating spaces in the middle which helps to play short passes while attacking the opponent.

                                     Ball played out from the back.

                                     The opponent side is not well organized and they have a big space in the midfield.

Becauses the opponent side is disorganized the player in red is left out with three options to pass the ball, with also another support behind a little on the left hand side.

In order to perform in this transition, you need to have a goalkeeper who is very good with his feet and he should be a very good ball player.

Now this becomes a challenge when Arsenal plays Petr Cech in goal. Cech is a good goalkeeper but he is not someone who is good with this style of play that’s why he struggles when he is under pressure which is a disadvantage when your team plays from the back.

                         Chech receives the ball.

                                    He is having two passing options out wide.

                    Chech passes the ball to the opponent, just to escape from being punished. (Cardiff vs. Arsenal)

This has been the biggest Arsenal problem ever since Unai Emery arrived at the club.

Chech did three mistakes against Cardiff which would have costed the team three points, he was almost losing the ball against the opponents quite often and sadly he almost scored in his own goal after passing the ball to the near post against Manchester city.

Unai needs to sort this out otherwise this could be a big problem for the club in the near future.

Finalizing with defense let’s look at Bellerin.

Hector is a good player going forward but he forgets his responsibility of defending, he continuously makes mistakes which puts the entire team under pressure.

                       He leaves a very big gap between the defense line which leaves the entire team helpless and that caused Chelsea’s first goal in a 3-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Bellerin is wide apart from his defense line which opens the door for the opponent.

Looking for all these examples, means Unai still has a lot to do to stabilize and strengthen his team defense wise.

PruHealth (formally Standard Life) has been a valued client for many years, our Operations Director Keith Jones had maintained their carpets for several years prior to joining Selcourt. All their carpets are maintained in conjunction with a specifically designed ongoing planned maintenance programme. This regular process ensures their carpets always look their best.

Working as a subcontractor to MITIE we have provided a number of our services to their Key Clients throughout the UK. We frequently work with Mitie from tender stage to contract, assisting with pricing and technical information right through to implementing long term and complex cleaning & maintenance programmes.

We maintain a close relationship with the facilities team at Barclaycard. Working with several of their appointed cleaning contractors we continue to provide a number of services including :- Carpet Cleaning, High Level Atrium Cleaning, Deep Cleans, Desktop and PC cleaning.

Working since 2008 with Barclays cleaning & facilities contractors, we have provided our services for many of Barclay’s key offices, including their head office at 1 Churchill Place Canary Wharf, Barclays Capital – Docklands and other offices throughout the UK. Most of the work carried out has been detailed and intense planned carpet cleaning. We have also provided regular ad-hoc cleans including furniture cleaning, desktop and ceiling cleaning.

This leading global pharmaceutical company had been experiencing problems with their existing cleaning contractor, through word of mouth Selcourt were recommended to help. A demonstration area was successfully completed and we were awarded the contract to clean and maintain their carpets and flooring as an ongoing programme. Five years later we are now cleaning and maintaining carpets in all three of their buildings.

Syntegra Consulting Ltd is one of the UKs leading companies in intelligent and green building solutions. Due to expansion they relocated to new larger premises, Syntegra are a company with a close eye on their carbon footprint therefore they were keen to retain rather than replace the existing carpet in the new office. Through recommendation Selcourt were contracted to complete a “restoration clean” we were able to transform the original carpets to look almost new extending their life for many more years to come.

Selcourt have since grown and maintained a good relationship with Syntegra, we clean their office carpets quarterly and work closely with them providing their clients with environmentally friendly cleaning services. We have been able to demonstrate the lifecycle, environmental and cost benefits to many of Sytegra's clients by maintaining rather than replacing their carpets.

Self-Organised Construction

Research Agenda

Social insects build nests in a self-organised manner. Large numbers of individuals contribute to the construction not by following a predefined plan but by sensing and reacting to stimuli in their local environment. Recently, with the wake of robotic swarms, self-organised construction is quickly gaining significance in the context of various design and construction processes. Future development of self-organised construction may also make use of novel material processing approaches (e.g., 3D printing techniques). Self-organised construction will play an important role in the design and realisation of any structure, building, or infrastructure up to the scale of entire cities. Yet, in order to harness its potential, theoretical concepts need to be developed and a range of application challenges need to be solved.

Early 2018, we edited a special issue on self-organised construction in the SWARM INTELLIGENCE journal.

In 2016, we organised the "1st International Workshop on Self-Organising Construction" as part of the IEEE International Conferences on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organising systems (SASO) and on Cloud and Autonomic Computing (ICCAC). You can find more information about this workshop, including a detailed list of contributions at
