2011-05-27

LONGMONT, CO, May 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) Cornerstone Farm (www.cornerstonefarminc.com), a local business offering horseback riding lessons and horse training services to area residents for 14 years, has announced its 2011 summer horsemanship camp schedule. Cornerstone Farm specializes in hunter/jumper instruction for beginning through advanced riders on all breeds of horses, and offers camps, lessons and training at Triple Creek Ranch (www.triplecreek-ranch.com), 4255 Nelson Road in Longmont.

Three types of camps are offered: an Introductory camp for beginners; Beginner 2 for those who can walk and trot and know their way around the barn a little; and Advanced for more experienced riders who can already walk, trot and canter. Two week-long introductory sessions will be offered, along with three Beginner 2 sessions; and one session will be open to advanced riders. The last summer session, in early August, is open to all levels. Instruction is tailored to each student's needs and riding ability, and enrollment is limited. An indoor arena allows us to teach, rain or shine.

Camp sessions run Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Each day includes a formal riding lesson, an interactive stable management session, recreation time and responsibility time. For advanced camp sessions, riders will participate in a formal schooling horse show on the Saturday following camp. Advanced campers must be able to walk, trot and canter comfortably, and some jumping experience is recommended. Camp is open to children eight years of age and older for $400 for the week, plus show entry and coaching fees for advanced campers.

Superior sound for telephones, mobile and related devices

2011-05-27

This release is available in German. mp3 for phone calls – Considering the poor sound quality of many phone calls, this is a great idea. Videoconference phone calls in particular can be unintentionally awkward because the participants start to speak at the same time due to the time delay in the transmission. The reasons for this are long delay times and the poor quality of today's video calls. Fraunhofer's task was therefore to improve the quality and simultaneously minimize the delay time. The technology that makes this possible is called Enhanced Low Delay Advanced ...

MIT research: Making materials to order

2011-05-27

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A team of researchers at MIT has found a way to make complex composite materials whose attributes can be fine-tuned to give various desirable combinations of properties such as stiffness, strength, resistance to impacts and energy dissipation. The key feature of the new composites is a "co-continuous" structure of two different materials with very different properties, creating a material combining aspects of both. The co-continuous structure means that the two interleaved materials each form a kind of three-dimensional lattice whose pieces are fully ...

'Policing' stops cheaters from dominating groups of cooperative bacteria

2011-05-27

For cooperation to persist in the often violently competitive realm of bacteria, cheaters must be kept in line. Two Indiana University Bloomington biologists have learned that in one bacterium, at least, bacterial cooperators can evolve to "police" the cheaters and arrest their bids for dominance. "Even simple organisms such as bacteria can evolve to suppress social cheaters," said Gregory Velicer, who with Ph.D. student Pauline Manhes has reported the policing behavior in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Their laboratory experiments suggest ...

Estimating landfill gas potential

Research suggests that landfill gas-recovery projects should be implemented quickly if the maximum amount of methane gas is to be retrieved from organic waste in as short as time as possible, according to a study published in the latest issue of the International Journal of Environment and Waste Management. Through appropriate management, landfill can be used to generate an alternative fuel gas containing that has half the caloric value of natural gas. Landfill gas (LFG) comprises approximately 50% methane and 50% carbon dioxide. However, such management requires significant ...
