 DOWNERS GROVE, lll. — Imagine being able to pull a plane out of your garage door, drive down your driveway and take off on a trip. No driving to the airport. No security lines. No waiting at all. Well that’s just what happens in one suburban community. From one side it looks like any other Downers Grove, Ill., neighborhood. But on the other you can see what makes it so unique.

 Hangars are attached to houses, and small planes sit in driveways. This is Brookeridge Airpark, where plane enthusiasts come to live. The airport has a primary runway that’s about 2,800 feet, along with a secondary runway, and its own fuel tanks. It’s owned by a group of the residents who live here… and has been around since the early 1960s. Pilots can simply pull their planes out, taxi to the runway and take off. It isn’t the only neighborhood of its kind in the area. There are others, in Naperville and Monee, Ill., to name a few. Some of the pilots say they offset the cost by being their own mechanics.

 More than 100 asylum seekers locked up in immigration detention centres are expected to be released as a result of the immediate suspension of the Home Office’s fast-track detention system, ministers have announced. They are among more than 800 asylum seekers, detained in Yarl’s Wood and other such centres, whose cases will be urgently reviewed after the immigration minister, James Brokenshire, ordered the temporary suspension of the system. 'The happiest day of my life': women of Yarl's Wood celebrate abrupt release His announcement came in the face of legal challenges over the lack of sufficient safeguards to prevent victims of torture and trafficking being caught up in the system. The appeals part of the system was ruled unlawful last Friday by the court of appeal, which declared its limit of seven working days as “structurally unfair”. “In the light of these issues, I have decided to temporarily suspend the operation of the detained fast-track policy,” said Brokenshire. “I hope this pause to be short in duration, perhaps only a matter of weeks, but I will only resume operation of this policy when I am sure the right structures are in place to minimise any risk of unfairness.” Campaigners, including the Detention Action charity that brought the successful legal challenges, said they hoped this would mark the end to Britain’s routine detention of asylum seekers.

 Most of the asylum seekers held under the fast-track system are expected to be re-detained without leaving the removal centre as they are already held because they are at risk of absconding or face imminent removal. But it is expected that more than 100 will be released from detention centres including Yarl’s Wood, Harmondsworth and Colnbrook. The detained fast track belongs on the scrapheap of UK human rights history Bamidele The asylum seekers likely to be released are expected to be those who have only recently entered the system. Foreign offenders being deported, others being sent back to a safe third country, or those facing a high chance of removal are highly unlikely to be released. Ministers will urgently put in place stronger safeguards to ensure that vulnerable people such as torture victims are screened out from the fast-track process. Brokenshire said the government was committed to its underlying principles “and believes for the most part that it is operating well and is removing back to their own countries those whose asylum claims are clearly unfounded. But we must be satisfied that our safeguards for dealing with vulnerable applicants throughout the system are working well enough to minimise any risk of unfairness.” The fast-track system has been used by the Home Office since 2000 and thousands of people have been removed from the country in the last 15 years. The suspension is a major victory for campaign groups and charities which have argued that the fast-track system risked unfairly detaining victims of torture and trafficking.Jerome Phelps, the director of Detention Action, said: “We welcome this announcement. We hope that today will mark the end of the UK’s routine detention of asylum seekers. It is a further step away from the systematic overuse of detention that was rightly criticised by a cross-party parliamentary inquiry this year. “We hope that the Home Office will accept the judgments of the courts and work with civil society to build an asylum system that is both fast and fair, with alternatives to detention that are both cheaper and more just.” Bamidele, a member of the Freed Voices group whose asylum claim was rejected under the fast-track policy, said: “The detained fast track is nothing short of a kangaroo court. I received no fair trial. The result was fixed from the moment I walked in the room. “The stress left my health in tatters – so much so that they eventually had to release me. Four years later, with time to properly make my case, I was given leave to remain. The detained fast track belongs on the scrapheap of UK human rights history.” Sile Reynolds, Freedom from Torture’s lead asylum policy adviser, said: “Freedom from Torture strongly welcomes this admission by the Home Office that the detained fast track is not working. The immigration minister has now committed to review the system, but we question whether review can tackle fundamental flaws which are in the very nature of the system. “Although survivors of torture are not supposed to be processed through this system, our medico-legal report service, which documents torture forensically, received 240 referrals for potential torture survivors in the detained fast track last year.” Protest to close Yarl’s Wood and other detention centres held in London on 15 June.

 But the courts have found that asylum seekers were seriously disadvantaged by the lack of time to prepare appeals from detention, while the safeguards were inadequate to prevent vulnerable people, such as torture and trafficking victims, from being wrongly fast-tracked. Any asylum seeker, from any country, could be placed on the detained fast track, which is restricted to cases considered weak or without merit. Many on the fast track were from countries experiencing conflict or violence, such as Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. On Friday, the high court said the appeals part of the system was “structurally unfair”, because lawyers for the asylum seekers were expected to take instructions, prepare statements, translate documents, make bail applications, arrange expert witnesses and make representations to be taken out of the fast track within seven working days. The use of the detained fast track has rapidly expanded in recent years. The latest published figures show that 4,286 asylum seekers were locked up in Yarl’s Wood, Colnbrook or Harmondsworth under the scheme in 2013. This is a 73% increase from 2012, with almost one in five of all asylum seekers having their claims heard through a process with a 99% rejection rate.

Click & Close Ads Authorities in Sierra Leone have quarantined three doctors and 28 nurses after a woman who recently gave birth tested positive for Ebola. The woman was transferred to an emergency ward in a hospital in the capital Free Town after doctors were unable to stop her bleeding. It was confirmed she was infected with the deadly virus last Saturday.The blood of a survivor of the Ebola virus is extracted as part of a study launched at Liberia's John F. Kennedy Hospital in Monrovia, Liberia this month. Photo: Reuters The mother was one of three new Ebola cases diagnosed in Sierra Leone over the past week, dashing hopes that the country had vanquished the virus. "When you think of all the contacts [doctors and nurses] will have made when they go home, it's scary," a health official told Reuters. Meanwhile Guinea will put four villages under a 21-day quarantine as part of a robust strategy to stamp out a lingering Ebola epidemic after new cases of the disease were discovered there.The worst Ebola epidemic on record has killed more than 11,000 people in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea over the last year and a half. Liberia became Ebola-free in May, but neighbouring Sierra Leone and Guinea are still struggling to get to zero cases despite hundreds of millions of dollars in aid. According to a health ministry document seen by Reuters on Wednesday, the quarantine will apply to Sikhourou Koloteya in the Forecariah prefecture southeast of the capital Conakry along with Tanéné and Bamba in Dubreka prefecture.

"In practice, a hooping system will be organised resulting in a ban on movement by inhabitants in the affected locations," the document stated. Twenty-one days is the standard observation period for an individual believed to have come in contact with an Ebola-infected person. Health officials will also carry out intensive door-to-door visits to homes in the quarantined areas to try to identify cases of the disease. "We have already started to apply the new measures today in Forecariah. The other locations will follow from tomorrow," Fodé Tass Sylla, spokesman for Guinea's Ebola coordination unit, told Reuters.Click & Close Ads

"The area of active transmission within those prefectures has changed, and in several instances has expanded," the report stated. The cases recorded in Sierra Leone's capital Freetown following several weeks without new infections, dashed hopes that the city had vanquished the outbreak.Click & Close Ads

Click & Close Ads THIS WEEK, LEXUS introduced a short teaser video for SLIDE, a hoverboard that appears to not just live up to our Back to the Future II dreams but, at least stylistically, improve on them. Better yet, it’s more science than science fiction. Here’s how it works—and why you won’t find one at Toys’R’Us any time soon. Let’s start with that teaser video, a scant 37 seconds of hoverboard hype that almost prompts more skepticism than excitement. A bamboo and carbon fiber skateboard, emitting wisps of smoke, levitates an inch or two off of what appears to be a concrete surface. A foot approaches as if to mount and ride—and then nothing. We cut away.hat’s not a lot to put one’s faith in. We’re barely a year past the most recent convincing hoverboard hoax—a Funny or Die promotion, it turned out—and are halfway through the year in which BTTFII took place, a ripe time for attention-grabbing tie-ins. Even the information Lexus did provide at the time didn’t jibe with what the teaser shows. According to the company’s briefly stated promotional materials, the devices employs “magnetic levitation” to achieve (and maintain) lift-off, which would be well and good if it weren’t for where it was levitating. “It’s a tease, right? It gives you the impression that this thing is floating on top of concrete,” says Mike Norman, Director of the Materials Science Division at Argonne National Lab. “Which it’s not.” Fortunately, the bad news stops there. Surface trickery aside—there are probably magnets or steel mixed in or just underneath that concrete—the Lexus hoverboard really does live up to its name.Click & Close Ads
Click & Close Ads How It Works Magnets. That’s the short version. The long version means steeling yourself for a light dose of physics. According to Lexus, its hoverboard relies on superconductors and magnets, which combine to repel the force of gravity and lift an object—like, say, a fancy skateboard and its rider—above the ground. That may sound familiar to anyone who recalls the Hendo hoverboard, which debuted as a Kickstarter last fall. You can read about the physics behind the Hendo in great depth here, but the key difference between it and the Lexus project is that Lexus opted for a superconductor—which creates a different kind of magnetic field—instead of a plain ol’ conductor. “With a superconductor you don’t need to have an oscillating magnetic field [like Hendo’s],” explains Eric Palm, Deputy Laboratory Director at FSU’s National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. “Instead you have something called the Meissner effect, which essentially says that when you take a magnetic field near the superconductor, it induces current in that superconductor, and creates essentially an image magnetic field on the other side of the superconductor. You create current, but since it’s a superconductor, the currents don’t die away. So you don’t need oscillating magnetic fields. You can have a magnet that levitates above a superconductor or vice versa, a superconductor that levitates above a magnet.” If that all sounds a little technical, try to picture a maglev train, which relies on similar principles to achieve speeds of, in the case of Shanghai’s Transrapid, over 300mph. Or better yet, watch this video, recommended by Norman, of a superconductor locked in a magnetic field:As for the wisps of smoke you see rising from the sides of the Lexus board? That’s not just for effect (although as effects go, it ain’t bad). That’s liquid nitrogen, cooling the superconductors below their transition temperature—the temp at which it becomes superconducting. Just how cold are we talking? -321 degrees Farenheit, says Palm, who also cautions that it’s not quite as extreme as it sounds. “That sounds very cold,” Palm explains, “but liquid nitrogen is actually a byproduct of the steel industry, so it’s pretty inexpensive.” It’s the same principle as the dry ice you played with in AP Chemistry, just around three times as cold. When the liquid nitrogen runs out, the superconductors warm up and the hoverboard stops, well, hovering, until you top it off again. Here’s one last barebones, layman’s definition that might help, compliments of Norman. “There’s interaction between the superconductor and the magnet that repels the force of gravity and allows the thing to levitate,” Norman says. That’s why it can’t be pure concrete in the video; there has to be something magnetic there as well. When you apply the same principles to a human-bearing board, “it really is like you’re floating.” He would know; while he hasn’t ridden the Lexus hoverboard, he’s spent time on a similar contraption in a lab. As it turns out, for all the anguish and anticipation around making hoverboards real, they have existed for some time. And they’re not all that hard to make. And yet! A brief teaser of the Lexus version has racked up well over three million views in just two days, a response that surprised few more than Lexus itself. A Good Problem to Have “Back to the Future messed my whole generation up.” That’s Lexus spokesperson Maurice Dumand’s take. “The world so desperately wants someone to mass produce a hoverboard.” Click & Close Ads
Click & Close Ads Sorry to disappoint, but that someone is probably not Lexus. All SLIDE has ever been, says Dumand, is part of a marketing campaign for an as yet unannounced car. (And no, the car won’t float either). In truth, Lexus didn’t even build the hoverboard itself; it partnered with outside agencies to build what turned out to be a surprise viral sensation. “Let’s be frank, it’s not novel,” says Dumand. “There are other hoverboards. To a degree, we weren’t expecting [the reaction].” But while it’s true that the Lexus hoverboard doesn’t represent any scientific breakthroughs, it’s perhaps not a total shock that it captured so many hearts and views. There’s the use of not-quite-concrete, for one, which gives the false, aspirational impression that you can take this hoverboard with you anywhere you go. More important than that, though, might be that where previous working hoverboards have looked like something out of a poorly sweded version of Tron, the Lexus take looks downright luxury-grade. That makes sense, says Dumand, not only because of who made it but what it was made for. “I don’t know how many hoverboards were built to feature in a global ad campaign,” Dumand explains, noting that SLIDE takes several design cues, like bamboo finish and carbon fiber touches, from the Lexus automobiles it’s helping promote. In short, it may be the first functional hoverboard whose form lives up to—or even outshines—its function. As for when we’ll actually see SLIDE in action, maybe just in the full version of the ad? That could be anywhere from several more weeks to a couple of months. The intense interest has seemingly put Lexus in the slightly disjointed position of both basking in the viral glow (it’s by far the most popular entry in this particular marketing series) and dampening expectations (no, they’re not selling this, but can we interest you in a car?). “Will they remember the hoverboard more than the car that’s going to be in [the ad]? That’s a distinct possibility based on the reaction so far,” says Dumand, who doesn’t seem especially concerned. The only thing he really needs people to remember, after all, is Lexus. Don’t expect to see SLIDE anywhere else any time soon. A maglev hoverboard won’t work on any appreciable scale until our streets and sidewalks are paved with magnets, and even then they’re a wildly impractical mode of transportation. Despite that, Dumand offers up just a small morsel of hope for your hoverboard future. Click & Close Ads
Click & Close Ads “I would never say never that it wouldn’t be something we’d have for consumer use,” he says, with seemingly total sincerity. Sure, it would take a total overhaul of our current infrastructure to even approach plausibility. But is that any more crazy than skateboards that fly? Well, yes, OK, probably. That doesn’t mean we can’t dream of it, though—a levitation-filled future hovering just inches away from gravity’s reach. Click & Close Ads

Click & Close Ads Photographer Tiina Törmänen likes to be alone when she shoots … really, really alone. For her most recent series, she drove out into Finland’s frigid wilderness to take stunning self-portraits under the Northern Lights. She calls the project Wanderer, aptly named given the stark and beautiful loneliness of her photos. Törmänen started the series while working as a hotel chef in Kilpisjärvi, a remote village in northern Finland. At the end of her shift, the photographer would take off on a snowmobile into the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area nearby, often shooting until the wee hours of the morning. She patiently scouted wide-open landscapes for the perfect shot and made long exposures that capture her standing under a display of brilliant and star-packed skies. “I was so impressed with the loneliness, the air and the silence,” she says. “Out there you feel so small because there is only cold and ice.” Törmänen has taken photos of the Northern Lights for years and was a bit bored with the dancing colors that delight most people. She decided to place herself in frame to add a sense of scale to the vastness, and wore a headlamp as a fun visual element. To get each shot, Törmänen set her Canon 5D Mark III on a tripod and used a timer to delay the shutter. She then walked out into position and moved her headlamp slightly to create a patch of light instead of a solitary beam.Click & Close Ads

She traveled nearly 150 miles in total, sometimes in temperatures as low as -13 degrees Fahrenheit. In case her snowmobile broke down, the photographer brought skis as a back up. Törmänen wore special boots to keep her feet warm and zipped camera batteries inside her jacket so the cold didn’t zap their power. On two different evenings, she spent the night in a small wilderness hut, completely alone and miles away from anyone. While most people would be miserable, Törmänen says it wasn’t that bad. Growing up in northern Finland, she felt confident navigating the elements. “I’m very comfortable with winter,” she says. “It’s definitely my favorite subject [to photograph].” Törmänen already plans to go back. She’d like to return next December or January to capture the strange light during polar night, when the sun stays below the horizon. Assuming no one will be interested in joining her on the frigid journey, she’ll likely be on her own again. But it’s all part of the adventure. “Sometimes I might feel lonely, but I just keep calm and think about how I’m capturing moments I can share with others,” she says. Click & Close Ads
