and former East Timor President Xanana Gusmao Bramstedt said she was “grateful to the city of Gwangju and its people for realizing my husband’s wish to be buried in Gwangju.” “I am happy a place of rest has been made for him in a historic place,” she added Hinzpeter donated fingernail clippings and strands of hair with the May 18 Memorial Foundation expressing a wish to be buried in Gwangju after his death the foundation enshrined Hinzpeter’s remains in a memorial stone with Bramstedt and other family members present Attendees at the May 16 ceremony sang the song “March for the Beloved” to honor Hinzpeter Hinzpeter covered the situation in Gwangju at the time of the movement as a Japan correspondent for ARD-NDR He also played a major role in establishing the incident as a democratic movement against injustice at a time when it was in danger of being dismissed as a “mob disturbance” as the military administration of the time hoped he passed away after a long illness at the age of 79 in the northern German city of Ratzeburg Please direct questions or comments to [english@hani.co.kr] The automotive company claimed the bus swerved into vehicle’s lane which which caused ‘unavoidable’ collision that driver said was unrelated to Autopilot Tesla claims that one its cars operating in Autopilot mode was not to blame for a collision with a bus in Germany on Wednesday The company claims the accident in Ratzeburg was unavoidable because the bus swerved into the vehicle’s lane The car’s driver told Tesla following the crash that he was using Autopilot when the incident occurred but that it was unrelated to the accident, a Tesla spokeswoman said on Thursday. “We have spoken to our customer, who confirmed that Autopilot was functioning properly and that his use of Autopilot was unrelated to the accident,” Tesla said in a statement. Reuters could not confirm independently what the car driver told Tesla and the circumstances that caused the bus to swerve. Read moreTesla’s Autopilot, introduced last October, helps drivers steer and stay in lanes and is intended to assist, but not replace, drivers. It has been the focus of intense scrutiny since it was revealed in July that a Tesla Model S driver was killed while using the technology in a 7 May collision with a truck in Florida. Since then, there have been various reports of accidents involving Teslas whose drivers were using Autopilot, including a fatality in China, but it is not clear what role, if any, the driving assistance system played. There have also been reports of serious accidents prevented because of Autopilot. Police in Ratzeburg said in a statement on Thursday that the 50-year-old driver from Brandenburg drove into the back of a Danish tour bus as it was returning to the inside lane after overtaking. Police said they planned to investigate “why [Autopilot] did not work”. The Tesla driver was slightly injured but none of the 29 bus passengers were hurt, the statement added. Authorities were not immediately reachable by telephone after hours on Thursday. Tesla denied that Autopilot was at fault, saying the bus swerved into the car’s lane and side-swiped the Tesla, making a collision “unavoidable”, the spokeswoman said. “We can only do so much to prevent an accident,” she said, adding that Tesla was in contact with German police. Reuters was not immediately able to reach German police for comment. The Silicon Valley automaker said this month it was updating the semi-autonomous driving system with new limits on hands-off driving and other improvements. the electric car maker says.Tesla says the

right track A Genie S-45 Trax unit has been used to help build a railway flyover near to the German city of Hamburg The self-propelled telescopic track boom lift, which was supplied to contractor Bernhard Becker by hire firm Zeppelin Rental had to operate in a variety of challenging conditions in order to connect the B208 dual carriage way in Ratzeburg with the B207 road to Lübeck we need machines that offer high terrainability and tough telescopic booms to handle heavy parts,” explained Andre Weingarten due to the tough conditions and railway traffic between Lüneburg and Lübeck in full operation on the tracks below being able to count on an extremely reliable machine was crucial “The railway flyover in Ratzeburg was the first time we used a Genie Trax boom lift model The S-45 boom lift did such a great job that it really convinced us We will certainly rent it again,” he added During the construction of the flyover, the Genie unit had to contend with a combination of heavy rain and snow – conditions made all the more challenging by the fact that the surrounding terrain consisted of deep the S-45 Trax’s four-point oscillating axle track drive system proved invaluable to Weingarten and his colleagues The unit offers impressive traction making it suitable for use on soft muddy The tracked boom is equally at home on harder With its horizontal outreach of 11.18m and a maximum lifting capacity of 227kg the S-45 was used to lift and place the flyover’s bearing pads and drainage components The unit was also used to remove the wooden framework used during the initial construction of the structure “The S-45 Trax boom lift is an extraordinarily versatile machine that has proved to be a worthwhile investment,” commented Dirk Feyerabend head of Zeppelin Rental’s Allied Equipment division “Its Trax track drive design copes well with almost any surface since this particular track-mounted unit also drives and steers like a wheeled machine it is suitable for a wide range of applications virtually anywhere A view of the Sino-German Ecopark Photo: Courtesy of the Sino-German Ecopark a fellow of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering introduces his research center at the Qingdao International Academician Port to visitors This article was published more than 12 years ago The Canadian rowers who won gold in the men's eight race in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing owe their success the innovative German coach whose teams dominated the sport in the 1950s and 1960s Adam invented the German rig (also known as the bucket or Ratzeburg rig) He placed his boys left-right-right-left-right-left-left-right Their positioning was designed to prevent the reed-thin 20-metre sculls from wiggling as the sweeping oar strokes exerted pressure on A boat that wiggles creates more water resistance than one that doesn't author and all-round sports nut from Cambridge University turned the wiggle-free rowers' placement into a mathematical equation It is incomprehensible to normal humans and probably some math-challenged coaches But none of the modern coaches dares to use the old-style rowing pattern Not only did Barrow figure out the equation he used it to invent two other positioning patterns for the men's eight which may or may not be used at the Olympics in London this summer The story of his work on rowing math forms a chapter in his entertaining new book 100 Essential Things You Didn't Know You Didn't Know About Sport (published by The Bodley Head) when he attended Ealing Grammar School in London He remains active and is the father of sports-mad children – his daughter is a professional ice-skating coach He is now director of the Millennium Mathematics Project at Cambridge and Gresham professor of geometry at Gresham College in London His résumé makes the average overachiever look like a slug: 22 books published including The Infinite Book: A Short Guides to the Boundless When he is not thinking about spirituality and the universe how math can explain sports and improve athletes' performance many things to sports," he says in the courtyard of Gresham College Barrow says he used sports as a technique to make math more enjoyable to students "If you link the two together – sport and math – you get the kids interested," he says combined with his love for all things athletic Want to know why the air over the track in a velodrome is heated It's because warm air is slightly less dense that cool air allowing the track bikers to zip around the oval at slightly higher speeds Barrow estimates it makes the bikers 1.5 seconds faster in the four-kilometre team pursuit event Ever wonder why swimming records get broken all the time but running records can last for a decade or so A fascinating chapter called "Total Immersion" reveals that swimming is the sport which that has benefited the most from mathematical research using fluid dynamics (the science of water in motion) have turned swimmers into human torpedoes by minimizing the drag effects of water pressure friction and waves on the swimmers' bodies This is done by such things as finely tuning the angle at which the swimmers' hands cut the water and staying underwater longer after their turns all the better to eliminate the drag of surface waves The result has been a dramatic increase in the times of swimmers the world record for the 100-metre men's freestyle was 52.9 seconds In the 400-metre event (a race that takes roughly as long as the 100-metre swimming race) Barrow uses math not only to explain athletic improvements but also to point out the fundamental unfairness of some events if you look at it with the mathematical eye there is a ridiculous bias toward biking." The time required to do the centre stage – 40 kilometres of biking – vastly outweighs the time required to do the relatively short swimming and running stages on either side not necessarily the best triathlon athletes Barrow thinks math can explain just about everything which is why he's already contemplating a book on math and art that you can use math to detect art forgeries because equations exist that govern paint-cracking patterns His publisher is probably wondering whether he's done the math on the potential profit stream from number-literate books Report an editorial error Report a technical issue Editorial code of conduct Authors and topics you follow will be added to your personal news feed in Following Eric Reguly is the European Bureau Chief for The Globe and Mail he has primarily covered economic and financial stories ranging from the euro zone crisis and the bank bailouts to the rise and fall of Russia's oligarchs and the merger of Fiat and Chrysler He also covered the Arab Spring in Tunisia the 2013 papal conclave and several national elections Eric wrote the paper's main business column from Toronto He also co-hosted a daily business programme on BNN he is a regular guest on Canadian and American radio programs contributes to CTV News and makes speeches about business issues He also writes a regular column in The Globe's Report on Business magazine and is a contributor to Newsweek the Hyman Solomon Award for Excellence in Public Policy Journalism He was co-winner in 2010 of a National Newspaper Award and has twice been an NNA runner-up in the columnist category he won gold in the National Magazine Awards and took silver in 2013 a remembrance of the 9/11 terrorist attacks an essay and photo book on the Alberta oil sands He has an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in English and French Literature and a Masters in Journalism both from the University of Western Ontario Previous employers include The Times of London the Financial Post in its New York and London bureaus the Financial Times of Canada and Alberta Report magazine Washington and Rome and has Canadian and Italian citizenship Welcome to The Globe and Mail’s comment community.
