Abstract:
The exhibition "Körperwelten" (Body Worlds) paid a visit to the Telus World of Science in Edmonton from June 13 to October 13, 2009. It consists of more than 200 exhibits, many of them entire bodies that had been donated by people, but also individual organs, such as hearts, lungs and brains. The artist Gunther von Hagen had developed a process called plastination which preserves the body by replacing the water in the body cells with plastic which is subsequently hardened. "Körperwelten" was shown for the first in Japan in 1997 and has since been seen by more than 25 million visitors. Tens of thousands went to the exhibition in Edmonton. While the exhibitions is moving and instructive it has also been controversial as an art form.

Abstract:
Frederik Schroeder from a dairy farm near Hamburg, Germany, participated in one of the this year's Calgary Stampede's Farm Tours. The Big Business tour started with a visit to Ballco Feeders, a feedlot located about 20 minutes west of High River, followed by a stop at the Arrow Wood Hutterite Colony and a tour of Big Rock Brewery. Schroeder, who will start a three-year apprenticeship at a farm in August when he returns home to Germany, was excited: "We learned about Hutterites and large-scale feedlots in school, but I have never had the chance to see that in Germany because there aren't such big farms there."

[Epcor working on green coal plant]

Calgary Herald
Date of Publication:
August 16, 2008
Page(s):
D.1
Abstract:
Edmonton-based Epcor unveiled Friday the technological heart of what it bills as Canada's first coal-fired power plant with near-zero emissions. The City of Edmonton-owned power utility announced a deal with Siemens to have the German company licence its SFG-500 coal gasifier technology to the development of an electricity-generating power plant. The facility would produce about 15 per cent of the emissions of a conventional coal-burning generation plant. If the project proves feasible, a 270-megawatt generating station using the new technology would start up in 2015. Under the plan, the gasification facility at Genesee, west of Edmonton, would convert oxygen, water and coal into syngas -- mostly carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The carbon monoxide is converted to carbon dioxide and more hydrogen. The hydrogen is burned to produce power while the carbon dioxide is captured.
