World records guide
The World Book of Records
V.1 - World records guide
Nicolas Barral & Tonino Benacquista
Egg-balancing, hotdog-eating, baton-twirling—these are a few of the records people try to break in order to find themselves included in the World Book of Records. For those who make into the book, Paul Baron, a judge at the publication, is a hero. For others, whose dreams he denies, he's a villain. After one man's plan to achieve renown is destroyed, Paul learns that the man may have lost everything else, but he hasn't lost hope—the hope of joining other record-breakers in the book. But the record the man hopes to break is terrible, and Paul unfortunately has a role in his project.

Patriots: No deal yet for Samuel
Albert Breer/Daily News staff
This morning at 8:45 a.m., dozens of Patriots will spill from Gillette Stadium and onto the adjoining practice fields.
Meanwhile, Asante Samuel will be in South Florida, where he's spent the entire offseason, continuing to wait for some resolution to his protracted contract negotiations.
Yesterday afternoon, agent Jay Bianco said that his client's presence on the first day of camp remained "highly unlikely" while the "lines of communication remain open" on reaching a one-year agreement to get the disgruntled corner in camp.
"We're trying to work something out that's beneficial to both sides," said Bianco, the top lieutenant to the lead man in these negotiations, Alonzo Shavers. "We want to try to get him in there as close to the start of camp as we possibly can, but he's prepared to sit out if he has to."
When asked whether Samuel wanted to play for the Patriots in particular, Bianco simply said, "He wants to play football. If it's with the Patriots, as long as we can work things out, be happy there and he can play, then great."
On Wednesday, the Bears inked franchised linebacker Lance Briggs to a one-year deal worth $7.2 million, which carried the same value as the tender offer, but was not actually the tender. He was the sixth of seven players tagged this offseason to sign, with just three reaching long-term accords.
Briggs' deal converted $1 million of the $7.2 million into a signing bonus, and included a clause that prevents the Bears from franchising him again in 2008 if he plays in 75 percent of the team's defensive snaps in 2007. Bianco's contention was that the signing will have little impact on Samuel.
"Obviously, we know what's going on," said Bianco. "But the deal that they got is not novel. There are always ways to be creative, and this is one."
Ten days ago, the deadline came and passed for Samuel to sign a long-term deal with a cavernous gap between the two sides' proposals and talks quieted for months. Samuel now can only sign a one-year deal with New England, and has the one-year, $7.79 million tender on the table.
The Patriots stood firm to an original offer that included approximately $13 million up front and a $6 million average salary. Samuel's camp was looking for a deal with $30 million included in the first three years. Any talk of a trade was diffused by the Pats' insistence on two first-round picks as compensation, as is dictated by the franchise tag.
With a long-term deal out of the picture, negotiations began on a one-year deal and Bianco said those talks are ongoing.
Meanwhile, Samuel waits for an outcome. In Florida, he's worked out with a trainer, doing strength-and-conditioning work and mixing in field drills with other NFL and college players down there to ready himself for the season.
That's been his routine throughout his career, and several sources in his camp - Samuel himself included - have emphasized that he'll be ready to go whenever this ordeal is resolved.
"We're trying to get him in with the Patriots as soon as we possibly can," said Bianco. "We just need to find a place that's right for everyone involved."

The time to breathe is nigh!
We are the stuff of unknown.
Embattled in and out of the years.
Sing to you under harvest moons with swollen tongues and dreary eyes.
I look at my hands and sigh heavily.
They've purged through an unfiltered world...endlessly.
Those cold shivers that run through us are the ghosts of our pasts.
Reminding us of our mortality.
And of our failed endeavors.
These tears belong on your mantle.
And I don't want to leave their cold comfort.
I trace the cracks and crevices with an easiness serene.
With confidence I fall within and fill my somberness with relief.
I can hear a choir in my soul.
A haphazard romp of solidarity and uneasiness all at once.
A sound I've heard before.
And then I remembered what my screams sounded like.
As the bloody bath water swirled down the drain and into oblivion.

Q: Exclude current custom post on single post I'm trying to exclude the current custom post that is viewed from a list. I've tried with exclude but it still displays it.
Here is the code I have on single-works.php:
<?php
$currentID = get_the_ID();
$recent = new WP_Query( 'post_type=works&exclude=' . $currentID . '&showposts=5' );
while ($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();
?>

  <li><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

Any idea what I'm doing wrong and how can I make it work?

A: Refer to the WP_Query Codex page for a full list and explanation of parameters. The one you want in this case is post__not_in.
$recent = new WP_Query(
    array(
        'post_type' => 'works'
        'posts_per_page' => 5,
        'post__not_in' => array( $currentID )
    )
);

ANDERSON, WES
Sede Central MirafloresNo disponible. Consultar vía WhatsApp
Originally published in 1970, Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr. Fox tells the story of the Fox Family. After twelve years, the Fox Family's quiet home life proves too much for Mr. Fox's natural animal instincts. When his young nephew arrives, Mr. Fox slips back into his old ways as a smart bird thief and, in doing so, endangers not only his beloved family, but the whole animal community as well. In Fall 2009, audiences will cheer as award-winning director Wes Anderson (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Darjeeling Limited) brings us his take on the tale: a blockbuster stop-motion animation film shot entirely in high definition. Starring the voice talents of George Clooney (Michael Clayton), Meryl Streep (Doubt), Bill Murray (Lost in Translation), and Jason Schwartzman (Marie Antoinette), the movie is sure to please fans of the original story as well as enchant new generations. Fantastic Mr. Fox: The Making of the Motion Picture is a family-friendly behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the film. Filled with photos, script pages, storyboards, and interviews with cast and crew, this book is a delightful and intriguing peek at the magic that happens as the filmmakers bring to life one of children's literature's most beloved characters: the outrageous, audacious, Fantastic Mr. Fox.

homemade cork board...no craft skills required.
these are my favorite crafts to do plus it was pretty cheap compared to buying a new one.
ring clips secure the cork on back. our cork was too thick so we had to use these to hold the cork in place. luckily, mark already had the clips from a screw caddy that betty mcneill gave him for christmas 11 years ago!
any craft store sells cork in different sizes. i saved money by using hobby lobby's 40% off coupon.
she loves it and we love that it only cost $12.00 to make.
ya...tablecloth...well sewing machine is still on desk. after our trip i'll be getting down to business with sewing and getting my blog under control! of course with your help!

Like her character Milkman Dead, Toni Morrison came of age in a family that had only recently left the South and moved to the Midwest. Her mother's family migrated north from Greenville, Alabama, around the turn of the century as part of the Great Migration of southern blacks to the urban North. Morrison was born Chloe Anthony Wofford in 1931-the same year as Milkman Dead's birth-in Lorain, Ohio, where her first book, The Bluest Eye, is set. She recalled a childhood in which she was "intimate with the supernatural," and read the classics of the Western tradition.
Morrison graduated from Howard University and took a master's degree at Cornell, then returned to Howard to teach, including among her students Claude Brown and Stokely Carmichael. While at Howard, she married a Jamaican architectural student named Harold Morrison, the father of her two sons. After a later divorce, she started her first novel, The Bluest Eye, which was published in 1970. Also that year, Morrison began work on Sula, her second novel, and took a job as an editor at Random House, where she worked with some of the prominent black authors of the 1970s. After publishing Sula, she produced her third novel, Song of Solomon, which established her as a major American writer and won her the National Book Critics Circle Award. This was followed by Tar Baby in 1981, and the book considered her masterpiece, Beloved, in 1987.
When Beloved failed to win either a National Book Award or a National Book Critics Circle Award, a group of black writers and intellectuals decried the lack of national recognition given to Morrison. Beloved did win the Pulitzer Prize, and in 1993, following the 1992 publication of Jazz, Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. The first African American woman to win the Nobel, her acceptance speech in Stockholm, in which she spoke about the power of, and necessity for, language, prompted a standing ovation. In recent years, Morrison has turned out several works of nonfiction, writing Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination and publishing essays on the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings, the O. J. Simpson case, and other current events.

Warm greetings and a good cause
Peggy's popular fundraising sale continues through winter
By Jill Pepelnjak
Peggy Patrick is pictured above in front of one of many displays of sale items at her fundraiser in downtown Virginia. Thanks to the support of the Iron Range community, Peggy has raised more than $22,000 for the MPN Research Foundation. The fundraiser will continue through the winter. Photos by Jill Pepelnjak.
VIRGINIA — The secondhand sale fundraiser in downtown Virginia, which has become known as Peggy's Treasure Sale, will remain open through the winter season. During that time, they will continue to accept donations.
The fundraiser, organized by Peggy Patrick and nine "wonderful" volunteers, is raising money for the MPN Research Foundation, a nonprofit with a single goal: Stimulate original research in pursuit of new treatments—and eventually a cure—for a group of blood cancers collectively known as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).
Why MPN? Peggy's been involved with the MPN community since her adult son was diagnosed six years ago with a type of bone cancer. Since then, raising money for MPN has been her "passion."
Since its start in June 2021, the sale has raised more than $22,000 for the MPN Research Foundation in Chicago.
"Peggy's passion for supporting her son and other MPN patients through her ongoing 'treasure sale' has been inspiring to see this past year," MPN Director of Development Kendra Waddington said about Peggy and the community's effort to raise money for MPN. "We are beyond grateful to Peggy for her tremendous efforts to raise funds for much-needed research into MPNs, and to the entire Iron Range community for its interest and support of patients living with MPNs."
The downtown fundraiser has casual clothes for sale as well as formal wear for women and men. Looking through the treasure trove of items for sale is an adventure indeed.
Peggy realizes that one day the fundraiser will come to an end. "If I was 50, I would just keep right on going," she said. "However, because of my age, it can't be my whole life. The last six months have been all-consuming. Although it doesn't feel like work, I have other chores to do."
But Peggy won't let it stop with her. She is looking for an organization that wants to raise funds for a local foundation for which they have a passion. "Of course, I'll help them get started," Peggy said.
Peggy has already talked with a group of fun women who have an interest in taking over the sale for another cause. She would be willing to turn over the remaining inventory, as well as use of the building, in return for a small rental fee and utility payments, with details needing to be worked out with any potential party. Other interested parties can contact Peggy at 218-780-5895, text, or by messaging her on the Facebook page: Peggy Patrick Treasure Sale.
Treasures and stories galore
If you haven't been to the sale yet, you'll be amazed at the treasure trove of items you'll find there, everything from clothes, jewelry, paintings, games, glassware, trinkets, and more. It is located at 323 Chestnut St. (the former Bootery building) in Virginia. It's usually open on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but it is often found open on other days of the week, too, at varied times. Check the Facebook page for details.
I'm not surprised that this sale has been so brilliantly successful, seeing it has the support of the Iron Range community. The people, both with their donations and their purchases, have contributed with the generous spirit known to this area.
Also, I am fascinated with the countless stories behind the "treasures" donated and bought at the sale. Without giving any names, Peggy related a few heartwarming ones to me:
• The happy young woman who found a
beautiful dress for her wedding.
• The excited women who came in to purchase dresses for an upcoming cruise.
• The father who found a stylish full-length
camel coat for his son.
• The special woman who periodically
collects items from the residents in her
apartment complex to give to local charities,
including Peggy's sale.
• The man who donated a box of very
valuable items to Peggy's sale. "I want you
to raise a lot of money from the things in the
box," he said. And they did.
• The mirror donated to the sale by a family
member. "My dad bought this mirror for my
mother back in the 1940s." Their children
wanted to sell it at Peggy's. It had been
originally purchased at one of Virginia's
downtown stores.
I always get a warm greeting when I come to Peggy's Treasure Sale. "This is a friendly place," Peggy said. "You don't have to buy anything. You can just come to visit and look at the new items for sale."

West-London residents outcry over fly-tipping
Homeowners on in the area surrounding High Road, Chiswick have condemned fly-tippers leaving piles of rubbish littering the streets.
Cardboard boxes, bin bags and old furniture are among the items which residents say have been left blighting the area.
The London Borough of Hounslow has been the subject of criticism by many of those affected by the fly-tipping, with some claiming that the council is incapable of keeping the streets clean.
Writing on local blog Chiswickw4.com, Carl Wynne said: "Hounslow council clearly do not bother to impose any form of code of conduct around retail premises and private refuse collection companies, nor prosecute domestic refuse dumpers."
Speaking about the issue of fly-tipping in the area, Leader of Hounslow Council Steve Curran said that people living in Chiswick were quite right to complain and that he shared their disgust.
He went on to try and reassure those affected and said "We will be improving collection services and issuing more fines to those who persistently litter."
Council statistics show that has 11 fines have been issued across Chiswick High Road and Turnham Green Terrace in the last two weeks alone.
243 environment-related Fixed Penalty Notices have been issued by the council this year.

Distopic Runway
SkillsOne heads to Fashion Week!
We go behind the scenes at 2008 Rosemount Australian Fashion Week and meet designer Daniel Avakian, make up artist Nicola Burford and event director Jarrad Clark.
At Fashion week, we meet young emerging fashion designer, Daniel Avakian, who decided to pursue his dreams of being a fashion designer, despite the fact that his background was in a slightly less glamourous industry. We meet him as he prepares to launch his Summer 2008/2009 Collection at Rosemount Australia Fashion Week. Chat to him to discuss his amazing journey, will watch as he coordinates the parade from backstage and see his creations as they emerge on the catwalk.
Throughout the madness of getting models and garment in order, we meet a successful make up artist Nicola Burford, who is involved in Rosemount Australia Fashion Week. She works with celebrities, travels the world and indulges her creative side - it's all in a day's work for this make up artist. Nicola – MAC Cosmetics Senior Artist – is living the dream!
Media delegates from the most coveted fashion magazine titles around the world have arrived, the front rows are filled with the latest 'it' girls from Australia and abroad. Backstage, dozens of models are primped and preened as they get ready to strut their stuff. Fashion Week, as an event, is a huge undertaking, and one that IMG are synonymous with internationally. Finally, we'll meet Jarrad Clark, the Regional Production Director, to find out how such an event is pulled together by the Event Director.
About Daniel:
As strange as it may sound, Daniel Avakian was a tow truck driver before deciding to pursue a career in fashion. After watching an Italian film about an orphaned tailor, Daniel enrolled into the fashion design program at the Whitehouse Institute of Design in Sydney, Australia.
Graduating in 2003, he was awarded with a 1st prize scholarship to complete his Masters in Design at Academia Italiana Arte Moda in Florence Italy, where he refined his skills in tailoring and couture, graduating with 1st class honours in 2005. Daniel then moved to east-London where he worked as a freelance designer and pattern-cutter for various brands.
2007 saw the launch of his self-titled label 'Daniel Avakian', evolve from a desire to branch out and be experimental.
About Nicola:
Nicola grew up in England but is now based in Sydney. She is the Senior Make Up artists for MAC Cosmetics Australia. While her younger years were spent flitting from one career ambition to another – doctor, vet, storekeeper were among them –a fascination with movie special effects saw her arrive the conclusion that she wanted to be a make up artist.
While accompanying her older brother to various hip nightclubs and parties in the 80s, Nicola noticed how make up was being worn by both sexes to attain the androgynous beauty ideal of the time.
She enrolled in the London College of Fashion for special Effects and then freelanced for TV after that.
During one of the slower periods, a friend suggested she work for MAC. She worked for MAC in London for several years before deciding to travel and finally settling in Sydney.
In 1998 MAC opened its first Australian store in Sydney and Nicola took up a management position. She became the brand's Senior Artists six years ago. She's worked with celebrities, regularly does fashion editorial shoots for magazines, and is often found backstage at fashion shows.
About Jarrod:
Jarrad is their Regional Production Director. He's been involved with Australian Fashion Week since the beginning (before IMG acquired it). He's now based in the Hong Kong office (their regional head office) but is back in Australia to oversee the production.
About the companies:
Daniel Avakian:
Daniel Avakian received wide praise for his Autumn Winter 2008 that was show an last year's Fashion Week. It was inspired by the recently revamped ¨Willy Wonka" film and a fascination with lollypops and candy. ¨By marrying crispy satins, stiff organzas and jacquards, with futuristic style lurexand super slinky jerseys, he experimented with all fabrics that sound, act or look like lolly wrappers to evoke a sense of wit within classic styles. His Summer 2008/2009 collection is entitled Dystopic Runway and will feature a combination of 50s chic with sculptural tailoring and will again use colour, print and texture to push the boundaries of modern aesthetics and present a unique futuristic vision. Avakian's designs are known for their modern lines, sharp tailoring, attention to details, couture dressmaking techniques, and bold silhouettes.
Make-up Art Cosmetics, better known to most as M•A•C, is a brand of cosmetics sold internationally, that originally became famous through word-of-mouth endorsements by professional makeup artists, models and celebrities. The company has become synonymous with glamour due to its ever-growing presence in the fashion industry, continued use of celebrity endorsements and commitment to cruelty-free products and universal diversity. The company was established in 1984 in Canada by Frank Toskan (a make up artist and photographer) and Frank Angelo (the owner of a chain or hair salons). In 1994 the company was acquired by the Estee Lauder group.
IMG is one of the world's premier and most diversified sports, entertainment and media company. They partner with many of the world's marketers and media networks to help them grow their businesses through event sponsorship opportunities, media production and distribution, talent brands, sponsorship consulting, brand licensing, sponsorship sales and other services. IMG is a global leader in event management and talent representation across golf, tennis and fashion and has a significant presence in many other sports, cultural and lifestyle categories. Founded in 1960 with a handshake between Mark McCormack and golf legend Arnold Palmer, IMG has grown into a global operation. In 2004, renowned entrepreneurial pioneer Ted Forstmann acquired the company and infused it with renewed energy, creativity, and strategic direction. They are responsible for Fashion Week at locations around the world.

SOON TO BE A GUNNER
Riyad Mahrez nears Premier League switch after Roma pull out of deal
Roma were prepared to break transfer record for Mahrez but sporting director Monchi has moved to other targets
By Graeme Bryce
8th August 2017, 5:27 pm
Updated: 8th August 2017, 5:38 pm
ROMA have pulled the plug on their pursuit of Riyad Mahrez and admitted they are moving on to other targets – leaving Arsenal with a clear path to the Algerian.
However there is nothing to suggest the Gunners have altered their position from last summer, when Arsene Wenger snubbed the wantaway winger.
Roma have pulled out of the race to sign Riyad Mahrez
Arsene Wenger now appears in pole position to sign the winger
Roma had tabled bids of £21million and over £30million for Mahrez but the Foxes threw out both bids and will not consider selling until someone meets their minimum valuation of £50million.
NOT PICKED YOUR FANTASY FOOTBALL TEAM YET? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
That message finally got through to the Italian giants as Roma's sporting director Monchi accepted defeat and confirmed, with three years remaining on his current contract, Leicester hold all the aces where Mahrez is concerned.
Monchi told Italian media: "I'm optimistic by nature but the truth is Roma did everything possible to buy the player.
"He would have been the most expensive player in Roma's history but up until now we haven't received any positive feedback from the other side.
"The offer we made was an important one but the priority isn't just Mahrez because we've done everything necessary – now we're looking around for other players."
The Algerian has still featured in Leicester's pre-season
PA:Press Association
Craih Shakespeare is determined that Mahrez gives his all until he goes
Mahrez claimed he wanted to speak to Roma but sources close to the player believe his preferred choice has always been to stay in the richest league in the world – with Arsenal, his No.1 option if they enter the fray.
Monchi said: "The player (Mahrez) expressed what he wants publicly but it's right that we respect his club.
"In the end everything will be resolved in the will or desire of whether or not Leicester want to sell the player."
With those three years remaining on his contract, the answer from Leicester's camp remains a resounding: 'No.'
Roma chief Monchi now says he is looking at other targets
Have you signed up to play fantasy football yet?
If the answer is no you need to take a long, hard look at yourself.
Because the Dream Team game – the UK's biggest fantasy football game – is back and better than ever this season.
You've got a £50m budget to pick 11 players, with all the biggest new signings ready and raring to go ahead of a mouthwatering new Premier League campaign.
So what are you waiting for? Sign up to play now!
Sign up to play Dream Team 2017/18 now

Syracuse basketball would return to the court after the cancelled season. The Orangemen would field a team consisting primarily of freshman. Freshman forward Francis Miller would lead the team in scoring and guard Bill Hennemuth would be second. The team was aggressive, but lacked experience on the court. Doc Acocella, star of the football team would share starting guard duties with Oliver Renzi, and Bill Dickie, and Rudy Cosentino would also see time as starters. Coach Andreas had 6'10" John Ludka on the team for some height, but 'Long John' was very raw in his skill and had a lot of developing to do.
The Orangemen would win their first five games, on average by a large margin. This was really an illusion regarding their talent, however, as those were lesser caliber teams than they would face as the season progressed. Sure enough, the Orangemen would lose 12 of the last 14 games of the season, to teams that were far more experienced. It did not help that Hank Schultz, their top performing player early in the first semester, had to leave school to complete a military obligation. Their two wins would be close games against rival Rochester (47-45) behind a stellar night from Miller with 20 points, and a 45-43 win over Sampson Naval Training School.
Syracuse would finish with a record of 7-12, their fewest wins and worst record since the 1910-1911 season. However, inexperience and rebuilding the program after a year off were the primary reasons for the results. There was a bright spot, the stellar play of Stubby Miller, who continuously improved over the season and was the primary scorer down the stretch.


Glass-fibre reinforced plastics (GRPs) are modern construction materials that are indispensable in many industrial plant engineering applications. Thanks to their special properties, glass-fibre reinforced plastics have become established as a material for manufacturing tubes, process equipment and vessels and offer users enormous potential when it comes to developing new applications.
The 10th FRP Unlimited offered plant designers, engineers, users and operators the opportunity to increase their knowledge with specialist presentations and discuss the latest findings about using the material in practice with experts. The long-term experience with GRP components and innovative new applications were some of the main subjects of discussion, and project reports and testimonies with direct practical relevance were presented by leading companies and experts in the field.
The selection, properties and specifications of the material, construction and design as well as certification and standardisation were key themes of the conference with associated workshop. There was also a trade exhibition that offered companies the opportunity to present their products and services too.
The Plastics Division made a valuable contribution to the conference with its lecture on "Newly developed GRP tubes for the chloralkali process" and used the opportunity to present its products at its exhibition stand.

High-flying concepts garner Rutan award
Roger Renstrom
The aviation industry looks to Burt Rutan for fast solutions on small-aircraft concepts.
"The reason we get this work is related to schedule," he said. "We can do it quickly."
Rutan is president and chief executive officer of Scaled Composites LLC, an aerospace and specialty polymer-matrix-composite development firm located at the Mojave, Calif., airport.
Rutan has been selected to receive the 2001 J.H. "Jud" Hall Composites Manufacturing Award.
Rutan was an Air Force flight test project engineer, civilian test center director and light home-built aircraft developer. He has created 29 new airplane types over 29 years. Rutan gained fame in 1986 for his all-composite Voyager, the only airplane to fly around the world nonstop without refueling.
He approaches aviation as a renegade uncomfortable with bureaucracy.
"A creative thinker must have confidence in nonsense," he said in a telephone interview. His path to creativity: "Get away from background clutter, think of new solutions."
Rutan works easily on in-house projects but acknowledges that he is "not a very good team player working with large organizations or government bureaucracies."
He believes a manager should set a goal, find the money, stay clear of the creative process, accept multiple failures and applaud inventors' courage.
"The innovator should be the one to decide whether to take a risk," he said, "and it should be OK for him to get rich if he has a breakthrough."
Two of Rutan's recent projects:
- Scaled Composites built a twin-engine proof-of-concept aircraft for Adam Aircraft Industries LLC of Englewood, Colo., using founder Rick Adam's idea. The makers vacuum-bagged single-cure composite parts for major structural components — sans fasteners or secondary bonds. The first flight was March 21.
"We are the first one to fly single-cure parts," Rutan said.
In Oct. 25-27 flights, the Scaled Composites-designed Proteus achieved a peak altitude of 62,786 feet and other pending records for altitude. The firm's two-person crew wore full-pressure suits. The project was sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Office of Earth Science. The goal: a high-altitude atmospheric science and remote sensing airborne platform.
Scaled Composites employs 150 with skills such as conceptual, structural and aeronautical design, tooling, fabrication, structural assembly and structural and flight testing.
Rutan founded the business in 1982 and continued as the operator after selling in 1985 to Beech Aircraft Corp. Wyman-Gordon Co. acquired Beech in 1989, and Precision Castparts Inc. bought Wyman-Gordon in 1999.
Rutan along with 10 other investors reacquired the business in October.
The Composites Manufacturing Association of the Dearborn, Mich.-based Society of Manufacturing Engineers will present the Jud Hall award Feb. 22 in Orlando, Fla., during SME's Composites Manufacturing & Tooling 2001 conference and exhibition.
The award is given annually and recognizes an individual for leadership, technical developments, patents or educational activities.

Cape Kidnappers Gannet Reserve
Australasian gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers

Cape Kidnappers/Te Kauwae-a-Māui Gannet Reserve
Located in the Hawke's Bay region
The reserve is home to gannet colonies where you can see nesting gannets and get spectacular views over Hawke's Bay.
The beach from Clifton to the Plateau colony is subject to landslides and rockfall. The risk is real and significant and people who choose to travel down the beach are accepting this risk. The walk can only be attempted around low tide and high tides and big seas will block the beach access.
Following a significant landslide, access through the DOC reserve, which includes the access track up to the Plateau colony, was closed to the public. With the completion of a risk assessment by experts, it is clearer that the landslides are unpredictable, and can be massive in size.
The track to the gannet colony is now open again, and new signs have been installed to make clearer the fact that there is a significant rockfall and landslide risk.
The best place to view the nesting gannets is at the Plateau colony which is on private land. A lower-risk option for accessing the gannet colony without travelling along the beach is still available through a commercial tour operator, who run tours overland via the private farm. See commercial operators to find out about tours to the colony.

You can enjoy close-up views of nesting gannets at the Plateau and Black Reef colonies.
Cape Kidnappers/Te Kauwae-a-Māui Walking Track information.
From Scotmans Point at Clifton allow at least 5 hours for a comfortable return walk along the beach. This can only be down at low tide, with the best times of departure being no sooner than three hours after high tide and departing from the Cape no later than 1.5 hours after low tide.
Cape Kidnappers/Te Kauwae-a-Māui tide timetable
The beach is the riskiest part of the walk, with approximately 7 km being underneath areas of cliff subject to significant landslide and rockfall. This has been equated with the risk level people undertaking mountain climbing face. A lower-risk option for accessing the gannet colony without travelling along the beach is still available through a commercial tour operator, who run daily tours overland via the private farm.
Anyone considering walking along the beach should make sure they understand the risks first and, if they are not comfortable, not undertake the walk. As with any walk in the outdoors, know before you go and only undertake a walk within your skill level.
If you decide to make this trip, you should be aware of the risks. The cliffs along the beach are unstable and landslides and rockfalls frequently occur and have caused serious injury in the past. Do not attempt to climb the cliffs. Do not stop on the beach or picnic where there are cliffs nearby. Keep your distance from the cliffs.
Find information about risk management at Cape Kidnappers.
If you encounter rockfalls or landslides
If you come across a fresh rockfall or landslide that blocks you way forward (a mound of rubble that looks like it has recently dropping to the beach), do not try to cross the fresh rockfall debris.
You should turn around and go back if the tide allows. If you have to cross rockfall debris then do so as fast as practical. Report any new rockfalls to Hastings District Council.
Hastings District Council is monitoring for landslides and rockfalls. If there is new activity, or there are conditions that might increase the chance of landslides or rockfalls (eg heavy rain and earthquakes), the council will temporarily close the beach while the risk is considered to be heightened.
Respect the gannet colony
Treat this reserve as the gannets' home. As it is one of the most easily accessed gannet colonies, special care is needed to ensure their continued presence here.
Nesting birds don't like disturbances such as loud noises and fast movement.
Keep behind the barriers or a minimum distance of five metres from the nesting gannets.
Dogs and horses are not permitted.
Motorbikes and vehicles are not permitted off the beach into the reserve.
Fires and camping are not permitted.
Keep to the track through private land.
It is illegal to take firearms into the reserve.
The best time for viewing the gannets is between early November and late February. Nesting commences in mid-September and continues through to mid-December. The first chicks hatch in the first week of November and the last chicks depart the colony during May for their migration to Australia.
The track from the beach to the plateau gannet colony is closed from July to the week before Labour Weekend each year, to limit disturbance to the returning birds.
Conditions can be hot and windy. Suggested items to take are:
sturdy footwear such as tramping boots
sunscreen and hats
extra clothing in case of cool sea breezes, especially if you intend travelling by tractor/trailer.
Notify someone before you go.
Australasian gannet/takapu
The Australasian gannet/takapu is one of three species of gannet which belong to the booby family. They are usually found in large colonies on offshore island around New Zealand and southern Australia and have been nesting at Cape Kidnappers/Te Kauwae-a-Māui since the 1870s.
Numbers have steadily increased to 6,500 pairs, which makes it the largest and most accessible mainland colony in the world.
The gannets average lifespan of between 25 to 40 years has a remarkable start. The 16 week old chicks, which have never been airborne before, take on a 2,800 km Tasman Sea crossing. 2-3 years later, the young birds return from Australia to undertake tentative mating. However, it is not until they are five years old that they nest in earnest, after which most spend their life around the coastal New Zealand seas.
The towering cliffs are made up of sandstone, conglomerate, mudstone, river gravel, pumice and silt, as well as glimpses of petrified wood and lignite. Fossilised shells can be seen in the sandstone near Black Reef.
The Cape's coast, cliffs and dunes provide habitats for native vegetation and wildlife. Birds here include the white-fronted tern/tara, variable oystercatcher/tōrea, reef heron/matuku waitai and Caspian tern/taranui. Little blue penguins/kororā nest around the Cape.
The offshore reefs are rich in marine life, including the sandmason tube worm that constructs sand tubes on the rocks.
The geology of the cliffs at Cape Kidnappers influences the nature and frequency of landslides. The type of landslides at this beach can't be predicted. Although there are some events that make them more likely to happen – such as earthquakes or rain – there is no obvious trigger for many of the landslides. Periods of hot, dry weather and temperature changes can lead to the rocks expanding and contracting, which can cause cracks in the rock that can eventually result in a landslide or rockfall. Coastal erosion also contributes to instability of the cliffs.
The area sits within the footprint of Cape to City – a collaborative, landscape scale restoration project that is working to ensure our native species thrive where we live, work and play.
The fish hook shape of Hawke Bay coastline adds to the imaginative legend of Cape Kidnappers origin.
Maui-tikitiki-a-Taranga, a famous mythical hero, was fishing with his brothers, and decided to show them his supernatural powers.
He chanted his prayer, broke his nose and smeared the blood onto a magical jawbone. With it, he fished up the North Island or as the Māori name it, Te-Ika-a-Maui, the Fish of Maui. After Maui departed, his brothers attached the fish with their weapons, hacking it into pieces and helping to form the mountainous terrain of the North Island. The sacred jawbone used as the hook was left to form what is now known as Hawke Bay.
When Captain Cook visited the area in 1769, a group of Māori in canoes came out to the ship Endeavour to trade. They took aboard the canoes a Tahitian boy. Shots were fired at the retreating canoes resulting in some Māori being killed and the boy swimming back to the ship. Cook then named the area where this occurred as Cape Kidnappers.
There have been three serious injury landslide events reported in the past 50 years, and large landslides with the potential to be fatal happen every year.
