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

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.ï¿?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

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.
