London, UK (PRWEB UK) 26 June 2012

Nestled in the heart of Kensington, the Serpentine Gallery is the heart of class; one of Londons best loved art galleries displaying collections of modern and contemporary art, and attracting over half a million visitors per year. Unique worldwide, the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion is a pioneering annual architecture commission that gives internationally-renowned architects, including Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, Oscar Niemeyer and Jean Nouvel, the opportunity to create their first built structures in England. The Pavilion will also host the Gallerys anticipated Park Nights programme of music, theatre, film, discussions and performances. The season will explore the topic of memory and will culminate, on 13 and 14 October, with the Memory Marathon, the seventh in the acclaimed Marathon series.

So it comes as no surprise that the gallerys Summer Party 2012 will be the height of cool, with New York rapper Azealia Banks providing the sound for the proceedings. Alongside the super trendy DJ Dan Lynwood, the summer party is an annual fundraising evening for the gallery, and proceeds are vital to ensure that it continues to present its acclaimed programmes free of charge to the public. The gallery raises 4 million in funds on a yearly basis to ensure that these programmes run correctly, and the summer ball is a large crowd, bringing in millions in sponsorship to preserve this treasure.

The event is sponsored by designer Leon Max, the founder and principal designer behind the US-based multi-platform fashion company that bears his name. The company opened its first UK shop earlier this year in Londons Notting Hill.

A long-term interest in art and architecture led Leon Max to the acquisition of the Nicholas Hawksmoor designed Easton Neston in Northamptonshire. This splendid example of English Baroque now accommodates the EU headquarters of Max Studio.

Max Studio, offers a mix of top quality fabrics and innovative styles to revolutionise shapes and silhouettes, and create an outfit for every situation. Leon Maxs designs are loved by A listers and the opening of a store in the UK this year has cemented the brand as a worldwide powerhouse that champions class and style in an effortless mix.

The teaming of Leon Max with the glamorous Serpentine Gallery is a fantastic one night only merger between a UK institution and an esteemed designer. The Summer Ball promises to attract A list celebrities from the worlds of international art, film, fashion and business, where they will be treated to a private showing of an exhibition of work by Yoko Ono. Proceeds from the party will all go directly to the gallerys internationally acclaimed Exhibitions, Architecture, Design, Education and Public Programmes.

The garments worn by the models are from the Summer 12/ transitional fall 12 collection by Leon Max, and will be available to purchase online at http://www.maxstudio.co.uk or in store at the Westbourne Groves Max Studio boutique.

Weather Central Offers First U.S. Showing of Wind Power Yield Forecast System at AWEA 2012

San Diego, CA and Madison, WI (PRWEB) June 04, 2012

Weather Central, LP, is presenting its groundbreaking new Wind Power Yield Forecast (YIELD FORECAST) for the first time in the U.S. at AWEA 2012 at the Georgia Congress Center, Atlanta Georgia in Booth 2950. The YIELD FORECAST system is unique because it has been purpose built for the wind industry, which loses $ 500 million annually as a result of inaccurate forecasts that were not designed to the unique requirements of wind parks.

Weather Central also announces that YIELD FORECAST has begun testing at the Madison Gas and Electric Top of Iowa wind park. Similar tests are underway at multiple wind parks in Europe.

Solid forecasting is essential to mitigating the operating risk of wind parks, said Steve Smedberg, Weather Central senior vice president for enterprise. YIELD FORECAST is simply the most advanced system of its kind, bringing together decades of forecast experience, proprietary high resolution data sets, and advanced computing technology. Our exclusive methods of customizing the toolkit at the level of individual turbines are producing unprecedented forecast precision.

Weather Central YIELD FORECAST will provide wind park operators and utilities with more accurate, actionable predictions for the power output for the following 24-48 hours to help them extract the maximum value from the wind-generated power. YIELD FORECAST specifically addresses the need for operators to predict their output on a day-ahead basis and to prepare responses to real-time fluctuations in output. Globally, poor forecasts are estimated to cost wind operators in excess $ 500 million (U.S.) due to: having to sell excess power at low or negative prices, being forced by shortfalls to buy energy from other sources in the real-time market in order to meet commitments, and having to pay penalties and tariffs imposed on them for inaccurate yield forecasting.

YIELD FORECAST is unique because it is the only solution for the wind energy industry where a single company controls the entire forecast chain. This provides Weather Central with unmatched flexibility to optimize the forecast not just for each wind park, but actually at the level of individual turbines for peak precision. The Weather Central YIELD FORECAST solution combines on-site data feedback and input from the customer with proprietary Weather Central technologies including:

MicroCast numerical weather prediction model
-Advanced neural network and other statistical analysis

DataCloud data serving technology
-Interactive map-based visualization tools

History Suggests that 2012 will Bring the “Big One” Hurricane to the Middle Atlantic States

Posted on by
Reply

Alexandria, Virginia (PRWEB) June 16, 2012

Are major hurricanes hardwired to occur within certain intervals or are visits random?

That question is critical to the millions of residents who live in the Middle Atlantic states.

Hazel in October 1954 was the last tropical cyclone to bring actual hurricane force winds of 74 mph and higher to large sections of the region. It made landfall in North Carolina before tracking north through Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York; its unrelenting fury surprising those living well inland, making for lifetime memories. Hazel set many wind records, including a 78 mph sustained wind in Washington, D.C., and a peak gust of 98 mph.

The reference, Hurricanes and the Middle Atlantic States, published by Blue Diamond Books, details Hazel and many similar events.

Hazel-type storms have occurred regularly in the Mid-Atlantic region during the past 400 years. No gap before Hazel was longer than 58 years, with two intervals of 57 years and Hazel, which came 58 years after the highly destructive hurricane of 1896.

Never before have so many people and so much property been at risk, said Rick Schwartz, author of Hurricanes and the Middle Atlantic States. Extensive development since 1954 means increased vulnerability and likely one of the costliest hurricanes in U.S. history.

Past inland hurricanes, as I named them, Schwartz said, brought hurricane force winds along an interior track lasting hundreds of miles. Residents were astounded. They couldnt believe such an event possible.

Accounts in the book Hurricanes and the Middle Atlantic States read like fiction.

An observer at Stratford Hall along the lower Potomac River in Virginia wrote of the hurricane of September 1769, In short, had the storm continued for a few hours more the present view must satisfy every sensible person that this part of America would have ceased to exist.

A hurricane in October 1878 heavily damaged or destroyed 700 buildings in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In nearby Wilmington, Delaware, winds tore the roofs off 100 homes.

A reporter for the Washington Star said of the enormous damage from the hurricane of September 1896: Today the city bears the mark of the storm in so many quarters, and the ruins are so numerous, that to enumerate then (would be) an endless task.

The Mid-Atlantic region is particularly vulnerable to high winds. Leafy, shallow-rooted trees are easy prey for persistent gusts. Less wind resistant building design than in more hurricane-prone places also contributes to risk. Hurricane Isabel in 2003, for example, was downgraded to a tropical storm soon after reaching Virginia. Its winds still caused billions of dollars in losses as it tracked north.

All previous Hazel-type events occurred in September or October at the peak of the official hurricane season, which is from June 1 until November 30. Each tracked through North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland, with some moving into eastern Pennsylvania and others passing through Delaware and New Jersey.

Hurricanes such as these rank among the Middle Atlantic states most destructive natural disasters, Schwartz said. Yet, few residents are aware of them and what they have done. My research covered 400 years of Mid-Atlantic hurricane history and describes each. The region is undoubtedly due for the next Big One. Unfortunately, it appears that once again experience will be the teacher.

For historical hurricane information, contact Rick Schwartz, author of Hurricanes and the Middle Atlantic States, the first book to focus on the areas hurricane history, at 571-245-0318.
