![]() | WERI Fondation-KEITH URBAN-You'll Think Of Me RICE FIELDS Let us cultivate rice in order to fight starvation.Worldwide, over 140 million hectares are devoted to rice cultivation. Much of this area is found in countries of the tropics and subtropics where malaria still constitutes a serious human health problem. Because rice fields are flood-irrigated, they provide ideal breeding habitat for a number of potential mosquito vectors of malaria.Approaches can be used to direct mosquito control measures, or, with modification, in other rice-growing regions of the world where malaria transmission remains a human health problem. |
![]() | Driving in the rain to Air Caught in a thunder storm, hair wet, just out of work, stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, and just driving home; I had the urge to film my mood and the wet surroundings of the subtropics. I appear happy and really seem to enjoy expressing my emotions through music. I am or feel like I am a Cherry Blossom girl, albeit a wet one! |

A collaboration between filmmaker Bill Bilowit (Tareco Pictures) and composer / musician Juan Carlos Espinosa. The composition "Erebus" utilizes sound frequencies from the eponymous volcano, southernmost in the world. All visuals are "naturally" derived from household objects and spaces, processed and colored in editing. Visit Bill Bilowit's website at http://www.tarecopictures.com/ |

![]() | WWII jeep trip to Fraser Island A four-day trip in historic 60-year-old WWII military vehicles to Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island situated in the subtropics off Queensland, Australia, less than two hundred miles from Brisbane. It is the only place on earth where rainforest grows on sand. The vehicles that took part were: Four WWII army jeeps (Willys MB and Ford GPW) One Dodge WC-53 Carryall One Dodge WC-51 Weapons Carrier One Studebaker US6 6x6 truck We set up camp behind a sand dune on the beach and travelled a number of 4WD tracks on the island and for two and a half days of the trip I had the windshield laid flat, enduring some sunburn and sandblasting as I drove the beach at 40 MPH. I filmed with a camcorder in my right hand as I was the only person in my jeep. This short clip has been edited down from two hours of 'WWII jeep cam' such as you see here. You ca hear engine noise, wind whistling on the camcorder mike, squeaks and rattles from the jeep, and short snippets of me talking. I wish I had a steadycam but you can see the shocks the jeep is being subjected to as I drove up to 30 MPH (50 km/h) on these trails. Although I would have loved to, I just couldn't film the extremely rough bits (low range 4WD) as I was concentrating on driving properly. I hope you enjoy travelling with me in my old warhorse as much as I enjoyed driving. It was a real blast! |
![]() | Florida Keys Scuba Diving - Fishing Vication The Florida Keys is an archipelago of about 1700 islands in the southeast United States. They begin at the southeastern tip of the Florida peninsula, about 15 miles south of Miami, and extend in a gentle arc south-southwest and then westward to Key West, the westernmost of the inhabited islands, and on to the uninhabited Dry Tortugas. The islands lie along the Florida Straits, dividing the Atlantic Ocean to the east from the Gulf of Mexico to the west, and defining one edge of Florida Bay. At the nearest point, the southern tip of Key West is just 98 miles (157 km) from Cuba. The Florida Keys are between about 23.5 and 25.5 degrees North latitude, in the subtropics. The climate of the Keys however, is defined as tropical according to Köppen climate classification. More than 95 percent of the land area lies in Monroe County, but a small portion extends northeast into Miami-Dade County, primarily in the city of Islandia, Florida. The total land area is 355.6 km² (137.3 sq mi). As of the 2000 census the population was 79,535, with an average density of 223.66/km² (579.27/sq mi), although much of the population is concentrated in a few areas of much higher density, such as the city of Key West, which has 32% of the entire population of the Keys. The city of Key West is the county seat of Monroe County, which consists of a section on the mainland which is almost entirely in Everglades National Park, and the Keys islands from Key Largo to the Dry Tortugas. The Florida Keys are the exposed portions of an ancient coral reef, with very little sand. The northernmost island arising from the ancient reef formation is Elliott Key, in Biscayne National Park. North of Elliott Key are several small transitional keys, composed of sand built up around small areas of exposed ancient reef. Further north, Key Biscayne and places north are barrier islands, built up of sand.[1] The Florida Keys have taken their present form as the result of the drastic changes in sea level associated with recent glaciations or ice ages. Beginning some 130,000 years ago the Sangamon interglacial raised sea levels to approximately 25 feet (7.5 m.) above the current level. All of southern Florida was covered by a shallow sea. Several parallel lines of reef formed along the edge of the submerged Florida plateau, stretching south and then west from the present Miami area to what is now the Dry Tortugas. This reef formed the Key Largo limestone that is exposed on the surface from Soldier Key (midway between Key Biscayne and Elliott Key) to the southeast portion of Big Pine Key and the Newfound Harbor Keys. The types of coral that formed Key Largo limestone can be identified on the exposed surface of these keys. Starting about 100,000 years ago the Wisconsin glaciation began lowering sea levels, exposing the coral reef and surrounding marine sediments. By 15,000 years ago the sea level had dropped to 300 to 350 feet below the contemporary level. The exposed reefs and sediments were heavily eroded. Acidic water, which can result from decaying vegetation, dissolves limestone. Some of the dissolved limestone redeposited as a denser cap rock, which can be seen as outcrops overlying the Key Largo and Miami limestones throughout the Keys. The limestone that eroded from the reef formed oolites in the shallow sea behind the reef, and together with the skeletal remains of bryozoans, formed the Miami limestone that is the current surface bedrock of the lower Florida peninsula and the lower keys from Big Pine Key to Key West. To the west of Key West the ancient reef is covered by recent calcareous sand. |
![]() | More footage of our WWII jeep trip to Fraser Island I decided to make use of the remaining hours of camcorder footage so I've put together this additional 'jeepcam' clip of our four-day WWII jeep trip to the world's largest sand island, here in the subtropics. I don't think I've used any footage from my other clip (see my video list). Music is the delightfully atmospheric piece 'Springtime' by The Offenbach Project (copyleft restrictions).

![]() | Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games Bid Video The 2014 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XXII Olympic Winter Games, will be celebrated from February 7 to February 23, 2014. The host city, Sochi, Russia, was elected on Wednesday, July 4, 2007 during the 119th International Olympic Committee (IOC) Session in Guatemala City, Guatemala. This will be Russia's first time hosting the Winter Olympic Games (the Soviet Union had previously hosted the 1980 Summer Games in Moscow) and the first Russian Olympics since the fall of the Soviet Union. As well, this will become the first Winter Olympics held in the subtropics. |
