CARLSBAD, CA, October 25, 2011 (Press-News.org) In a report in Energy Digital, the City of Kingston explains that through a cooperation among City, community and business Kingston is on its way to becoming the most energy efficient municipality in Canada.
The City of Kingston is heavily focused on creating a more sustainable community. Through promotion of LEED construction, collaboration with community partners and the encouragement of renewable energy use, Kingston is already on its way to becoming the most sustainable municipality in Canada for generations to come.
The City of Kingston's green initiatives are guided by the environmental goals outlined in the community-built Sustainable Kingston Plan. Created to encourage a culture of sustainability within the community and, ultimately, to make the City of Kingston a more sustainable place.
"It's sustaining our quality of life by sustaining the environment we rely on to enjoy that quality of life," says Paul MacLatchy, Director of Environment & Sustainable Initiatives, City of Kingston.
The Sustainable Kingston Plan is not a directive that the City sets upon its citizens, but was developed by the public - individual residents, organizations and businesses to leverage community cooperation in pursuit of achieving community-set goals set out under a chosen four-pillar approach to sustainability, which includes themes under economic, social and cultural goals in addition to environmental ones.

About the City of Kingston
The City of Kingston is located halfway between Montreal and Toronto, Canada's two largest cities. Kingston is an eclectic mix of old and new "where history and innovation thrive". Comprising the former City of Kingston, former Kingston Township and former Pittsburgh Township, the new City of Kingston came into being on January 1, 1998. Approximately one half of the total population (117,207) lives in the former city area, although the land base is predominately rural.

First Plastic Surgeon in Scottsdale / Phoenix Arizona to Offer CoolSculpting to Reduce Fat Bulges
2011-10-25
The SHAW Center for Aesthetic Enhancement (www.theshawcenter.com) is the first plastic surgery practice to add CoolSculpting by Zeltiq to it's list of fat reduction, body contouring procedures in the Scottsdale / Phoenix Metro area. With over twenty-five years of body contouring experience, Dr. Lawrence W. Shaw, a Scottsdale plastic surgeon, feels there is definitely a place for this non-invasive fat reduction procedure in his busy plastic surgery practice.

VIDEO:
Using carbon nanotubes bent to act as springs, Stanford researchers have developed a stretchable, transparent skin-like sensor. The sensor can be stretched to more than twice its original length and...

Imagine having skin so supple you could stretch it out to more than twice its normal length in any direction - repeatedly - yet it would always snap back completely wrinkle-free when you let go of it. You would certainly never need ...
Relaxation dynamics of 2D nanoparticle systems
2011-10-25
Soft matters maintain their structures via weak interactions, such as Van der Waals, capillary, hydrogen bonds etc. The entropy plays a key role in the ordering of this kind of materials. They behave as a solid until a sufficiently large stress is applied, and then behave as a viscoelastic liquid. Due to the unique structures and rheological properties, soft matter such as concentrated suspensions, emulsions, pastes and gels often exhibit unusual slow relaxation and aging effect. Studying the relaxation dynamics may gain more insight into the microstructure of the material ...
How does the initial free volume distribution affect shear band formation in metallic glass?
2011-10-25
Introducing heterogeneities into the structure is an effective way to enhance the plasticity of metallic glasses (MGs). The original randomly distributed free volume in MGs, a natural heterogeneity, has been found to promote plasticity. However, the exact correlation between the free volume distribution and mechanical response is still unclear. Professor Dai Lanhong and his group from the State Key Laboratory of Nonlinear Mechanics, Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, set out to tackle this problem. They investigated the shear banding in MGs with different ...
Network Marketing Leaders and Top Earners Aaron & Sophia Rashkin Named CarbonCopy PRO Elite Marketing Partners of the Year
2011-10-25
When Aaron & Sophia Rashkin began their first online business with CarbonCopy PRO Elite back in August of 2008, they had no idea that their persistence and tenacity would become their biggest allies en route to internet marketing success.
The couple had a background in traditional multi-level marketing, but after building an organization of over 10,000 distributors and still hardly being able to pay for their two kids, two cars and two mortgages, they took their desire to become financially free to the internet.
Recently named "Marketing Partners of the ...
Poisonous oceans delayed animal evolution

"We have investigated the cycling of molybdenum (Mo) in ancient oceans by studying the elemental and isotopic composition of Mo in sedimentary rocks from Grand Canyon that formed in the oceans 750 million years ago", explains Tais W. Dahl, who did this research in collaboration with researchers from Arizona State University, Harvard University and the Nordic Center of Earth Evolution in Denmark (NordCEE).

Life beyond cancer: Starting a family following treatment
2011-10-25
CHICAGO - Five years ago, Sheri Scott was beginning a new chapter in her life. The recently engaged 31-year-old was eagerly browsing bridal magazines and busy planning for her big day. Unfortunately, just weeks following her engagement, Scott was diagnosed with breast cancer. Suddenly, she was juggling medical appointments and planning a double mastectomy instead of a wedding. Soon after her diagnosis, Scott was approached by her doctor at Northwestern Memorial Hospital about preserving her fertility. He explained that cancer treatment could compromise her fertility and ...
Researchers ID genetic mutation associated with high risk of age-related macular degeneration
2011-10-25
Boston, MA – Age- related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe visual loss among the elderly. Researchers had previously identified several relatively common genetic variants which together predict a person's increased risk for AMD, but a significant number of persons without the disease also have these variants. Now, for the first time, investigators have been able to clearly show a specific rare mutation called CFH R1210C that predicts a very high risk of disease and is extremely uncommon among individuals who do not have the disease. Although it ...
Magnetic nanoswitch for thermoelectric voltages
2011-10-25
This press release is available in German.
The heat which occurs in tiny computer processors might soon be no longer useless or even a problem. On the contrary: It could be used to switch these processors more easily or to store data more efficiently! These are two of the several potential applications made possible by a discovery made at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). This so-called "thermoelectric voltage" may well be very interesting – mainly for the use of nano-junctions, i.e. small components based on magnetic tunnel structures. The results obtained ...
