Canadian Cancer Society

Canadian Cancer Society

January 22, 2013

The Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. and Yukon, is calling for regulations that would make outdoor patios of bars and restaurants as well as beaches, parks and playgrounds smoke-free.

The society is urging current MLAs and all parties candidates to follow the lead of four other provinces and 30 B.C. municipalities by making a commitment to strengthen the tobacco control regulation to include greater protection in outdoor areas. Enhanced smoke-free public places are also supported by the BC Lung Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation, which make up the Clean Air Coalition of BC.

During national non-smoking week, we are urging policymakers to do one thing to enhance tobacco control and help prevent cancer expand regulations around smoke-free public places, said Barbara Kaminsky, CEO, Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. and Yukon. There is no safe level of exposure to second-hand smoke, a fact supported by the U.S. Surgeon General and Medical Health Officers Council of B.C. Children, teens and adults should be protected when they play outdoors.

Tobacco use remains the largest single preventable cause of death and disease in B.C., killing more than 6,000 British Columbians each year. Second-hand smoke is linked to the death of up to 140 British Columbians each year. In total, tobacco use costs the B.C. economy $2.3 billion annually.

We know that smoke-free outdoor places increase the motivation for smokers to quit or cut back, said Kaminsky. With the majority of people starting to smoke before the age of 18, eliminating smoking in public places creates healthy role modelling so youth are less likely to even consider taking up the habit.

The Canadian Cancer Society has been a supporter of B.C.s Smoking Cessation Program, including quitnow.ca, which has seen almost 150,000 orders for nicotine replacement therapies placed in just over a year.

We believe the government has made great strides to helping reduce smoking rates in our province but we need to do even more, she said. Protecting British Columbians from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke outdoors and from exposure to smoking behaviours needs to be a top priority for all politicians.

Architects of Air- Exxopolis

3D printers have been pretty innovative of late, replicating such weird and wonderful items as dinosaur bones, iPhone cases and even meat, among other things. But now a bunch of architects have also gotten their hands on the technology, and theyre setting their sights on something bigger, much bigger.

The latest crazy idea to see what 3D printers are capable of doing is the brainchild of one Janjaap Ruijssenaars, who is planning to print what he calls the Landscape House a two-storey structure laid out in a figure-eight shape that might just give builders a reason to be concerned over their jobs.

Ruijssenaars is treating the project as something of a work of art, saying that the figure-eight form borrows from nature and will fit in seamlessly with the outside world. On his website he describes the design as one surface folded in an endless mobius band, where floors transform into ceilings, inside into outside.

The plan is to use an industrial-sized 3D printer known as the D-Shape, which was created by Italian engineer Enrico Dini. According to Dini, the D-Shape has been designed especially to print structures, and uses sand with a binding agent that ensures the buildings it prints are solid as a rock.

The construction process is explained in more detail by the Los Angeles Times, but if youre reading this and imagining a tower block-sized 3D printing monstrosity building the Landscape House bit-by-bit, youll be a little bit disappointed. Instead, Ruijssenaars plans to use D-Shape to create the building in 20 x 30 foot sections, with these bits then being assembled on site to compile the actual building.

Due to concerns over the strength of 3D printed houses, Ruijssenaarss home wont be entirely printed however. In addition to the basic blocks, he has also incorporated a few traditional concrete supports to make sure the building does fall in on itself.

The concept seems to be sound and viable, but builders probably wont need to worry about losing their jobs just yet. According to the BBC, the Landscape House is likely to cost between $5 million and $6 million to print.

Architects Take 3D Printing To The Next Level, Two Storeys Up

"As a leading insurer for design firms of all sizes and with more than 25 years of experience, we have a unique perspective on the types of risks that are most threatening to design firms' finances and reputation," Mr Schwartz said.

"Risk management is not the responsibility of just one individual in the company, but of the entire firm. We urge risk managers to share these tools with all of their employees."
