AUCKLAND Miguel Montero Jersey , New Zealand, March 18 (Xinhua) -- China's team Dongfeng is relying on the spirit of its crew, though two of them young and inexperienced, to edge it into the lead in the most arduous leg of Volvo Ocean Race round-the-world competition.

The six sailing boats left Auckland Wednesday after a three-day delay caused by Tropical Cyclone Pam, which is still expected to cause problems as it dies out east of New Zealand.

The teams face a three-week crossing of the Southern Ocean -- with strong winds, deep waves and freezing temperatures -- and a rounding of the storm-ravaged Cape Horn before reaching Itajai in Brazil.

Dongfeng skipper Charles Caudrelier said the team was aware of its inexperience Trea Turner Jersey , with only three of the eight sailing crew having sailed Cape Horn and neither of the two on-board Chinese crew having race experience at 40 knots.

"We are prepared for this one for sure, but also we have rookies on board. They have never sailed in storm conditions and it will be their first time, so, sure, we are ready, but compared to the other boats we have less experience on board Anthony Rendon Jersey ," Caudrelier told Xinhua before leaving.

Dongfeng is currently in the second place and narrowly trailing team Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing, but with the Auckland-Itajai leg being the longest of the race, it could make all the difference to the scoreboard.

The two on-board Chinese crew members, Liu Xue, referred to as Black, who celebrated his 22nd birthday in Auckland Cheap Nationals Hats , and Yang Jiru, 24, were quick learners, said the French skipper.

"We work a lot and the Chinese sailors are fantastic students and learn very quickly," Caudrelier said.

"This race is all about teamwork and we have a very good team, even if we have less experience on board. We have rookies on board Cheap Nationals Hoodies , but spirit is the key, I think."

His advice to the Chinese crew members was: "Love what you do."

"Passion is important and then you can work a lot, and that's what they have done."

Black admitted that he and his team mate Yang still have a lot to learn from those more experienced sailors if they want to pursue sailing as a career and take more crucial posts in the race.

This fifth leg of the race will be followed by four more with the race expected to end in Sweden's Gothenburg in late June.

They arrived in Auckland late last month after crossing the Pacific from Sanya in China's southern island province of Hainan.

According to Judy Rodrigrues of Greenpeace International:

�Our aim is to generate a society-wide understanding of the need to cut wasteful paper use and to help both big and small consumers to take action to make real reductions.�br >
On June 09, 2008, about fifty European non-governmental, environmental organizations launched a project to address the excessive consumption of paper. They invited individuals and corporate paper users to make a pledge to reduce consumption of paper at the website they created for this purpose Cheap Nationals Shirts , shrinkpaper.org.

About 42 per cent of the lumber produced across the globe goes into pulping and paper production.

If we can eliminate the need for paper in the future, we can greatly reduce the rate of deforestation. Development of electronic paper technology, such as the electronic ink introduced by E Ink Corporation, will take us closer to a greener future. Let�s, in this article, have a look at the electronic paper technology and its progress.

What Is Electronic Paper?

Unlike LCD Cheap Nationals Jerseys , LED, or CRT display system, electronic paper technology attempts to achieve the clarity, contrast, and ease of viewing of normal paper on an electronic display.

The technology behind electronic paper is thirty years old; it was developed at Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center). Nicholas K. Sheridon of Xerox PARC created a new display technology known as Gyricon (Greek for �rotating image�, which became the basis of the modern e-paper technology.

The ideal modern electronic paper should have high contrast like normal paper and low power consumption; it should be thin and light as well. The electronic paper display (EPD) is so light that it can be folded or curled Cheap Sean Doolittle Jersey , while still retaining the image. Also, the EPD should not lose the image even if power supply is not available. These concepts were used in the production of such products as Fabric PC from Fujitsu, which is a notebook computer utilizing electronic paper display; it is very lightweight and not easily damaged.

Electronic Ink Technology

At the forefront of electronic ink display technology are two companies�E Ink Corporation of Cambridge, Massachusetts (recently acquired by Prime View International, Taiwan) and Xerox (through its subsidiary, Gyricon Media) of Palo Alto Cheap Kevin Long Jersey , California.

E Ink�s display technology is already in widespread use in such devices as Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader, iRex iLiad, and many other e-book readers.

E Ink�s electronic ink uses a type of clear liquid plastic with millions of microcapsules, which are tiny (at almost the diameter of one of our hairs) spherical objects. The microcapsules contain white-colored and black-colored chips. The white chips are positively charged and black chips are negatively charged. This electronic ink is coated on to an ultra-thin plastic sheet containing a tiny printed circuit board. This circuit can selectively send positive and negative charges to the pasted e-ink, making the chips move Cheap Joaquin Benoit Jersey , thus altering the display.

Electronic Paper: The Future

Businesswire recently reported that the electronic reading devices will have an increase in production from 1.1 million units in 2008 to 20 million units in 2012. The cumulative annual growth rate, according to iSuppli analyst Vinita Jakhanwal, is around 105 per cent.
