environment friend ( foaled 19 march 1988 ) was a british thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for his win in the 1991 running of the eclipse stakes , one of the united kingdom 's most important weight-for-age races .

after winning the second of his races as a two-year-old he established himself as a top-class colt with a five length win in the dante stakes in may 1991 .

he ran poorly in the epsom derby but then defeated a strong field to win the eclipse as a 28/1 outsider .

environment friend never won again , but remained in training until the age of seven , and was placed in several important races including the coronation cup ( twice ) , the champion stakes and the irish champion stakes .

from 1993 until 1995 his time was divided between standing as a breeding stallion and competing as a racehorse .

environment friend died in 2012 at the age of twenty-four .

he admits to making mistakes , and plenty of them . he didn’t see why environment friend should retire from racing when the horse took up stallion duties : after the eclipse he ran 24 times over four seasons without winning . and for a brief spell in the early 1990s he had his horses trained at stetchworth park stud . his desire to challenge convention became evident .
why is this ? environment seems like a straightforward noun . all the other - friendly constructions i can think of just bolt on to the uninflected noun . . .

this is probably also informed by the fact that your

environmentists
. when you ' re
environmentally aware
, you ' re aware of how your actions affect the environment and are aware of ways to minimize your damages . when you ' re
environment - aware

i offer no evidence to the following , but there may also be a cadence - preference to separate stress in syllables . consider environmentally friendly vs . environment - friendly .

appointed iran ' s first woman vice - president by president khatami in 1997 , massoumeh ebtekar , 47 , later became an inspired environment minister . she made a name for herself in 1979 as the 19 - year - old revolutionary student who became chief interpreter in the 444 - day us embassy siege in tehran . she left government office in 2005 , is now a tehran city councillor and heads the centre for peace and the environment . anything green has taken a back seat since mahmoud ahmadinejad took power , and iran ' s cities are choked with incredible pollution - but because of ebtekar there are now thousands of environment groups led by women seeking change . ' we need to put spiritual and ethical values into the political arena . . . you don ' t see the power of love , you don ' t see the power of the spirit , and as long as that goes on , the environment is going to be degraded and women are going to be in very difficult circumstances ,

the mountain access project is an initiative of comhairle na tuaithe , the national body with responsibility for outdoor recreation , which is resourced through the department of environment , community and local government . the macgillycuddy reeks , along with binn shléibhe in co . galway , is one of two pilot areas where a permissive access model is being piloted , based on awareness of , and respect for , private land . this project is being supported by the department of the environment , community & local government - rural recreation section and the interreg ivb rural alliances programme , through south kerry development partnership .
since karasek introduced the “demand / control” model to characterize the psychosocial work environment ( karasek and theorell , 1990 ) , many empirical studies have tested the predictive validity of the model with respect to the physical health of workers . job strain—the combination of a psychologically demanding workplace and low job control—is hypothesized as leading to adverse health outcomes . studies using both dimensions generally have provided better predictions than studies using either dimension alone . however , job control—the opportunity to use and develop skills and to exert authority over workplace decisions— emerged as the more robust component of a health - promoting work environment .
in the spring of 1991 , peter davies was regarded as a serious contender for the derby stakes and began his season in the dante stakes ( a major trial for the epsom classic ) over ten and a half furlongs at york racecourse . ridden by lester piggott he started favourite and led from the start , but after being overtaken three furlongs from the finish he dropped back quickly and finished seventh of the eight runners behind environment friend . after a break of four month he returned in a minor race over one mile at newbury racecourse in september . he took the lead in the last quarter mile but was outpaced in the closing stages and finished fourth .

eta : rereading , i realize this could be taken as a knock on reputed testamony . i was not referring to him in any way , more just addressing the objection to friend or foe ( who i know nothing about except what i ' ve read here and seen online . ) rt is an interesting horse , but not particularly fashionable for a track - producing stallion .
the first steps were really to talk to women ,

and to convince them that we could do something about their environment . they didn ' t have firewood , they didn ' t have clean drinking water and they didn ' t have adequate food . a tree brings transformation .
i only put the gay one in to humour a gay friend who remembers the old days when gays would be well advised to check such attitudes before ordering a pint and settling down . today ' s youngsters would probably think it ' s a bit like talking about drinker - friendly bar .

ken livingstone , 62 , has dragged the capital to the top of the major world cities ' environment league . he shocked the more timid tony blair and gordon brown when he set an ambitious 60 % co2 reduction target by 2025 - and now he is championing renewables , energy from waste , heat and power systems , and ways
but it ' s what germany does at home that gives merkel authority . a quantum chemistry researcher brought up by a lutheran pastor in communist east germany , she was made german environment minister in 1994 . the country now leads the world in turning away from coal and oil , and setting the highest targets for renewables and emission cuts .
even so , pan ' s warnings that the economic miracle will end soon because the environment can no longer keep pace have goaded china ' s leadership into action . he has also warned that 26 % of the water in the seven biggest river systems is so polluted that it has
lost the capacity for basic ecological function

peter garrett , 54 , is the former punk lead singer of the disbanded australian rock group midnight oil , who continued his weird journey from radical muso to establishment politician when he was appointed australia ' s environment minister in november . he began with gigs outside exxon offices and protests at the sydney olympics about aboriginal rights , and found himself labelled a turncoat by some at the election . however , he was nominated here by jonathon porritt , for being
instrumental in shaping the australian labour party ' s climate change and environment policies
. within days of his taking office , australia signed up to the kyoto climate change treaty , and has broken with the obstructivist policies of president bush .

tewolde egziabher , 67 , a slight , gandhian figure , is a uk - trained biologist who runs ethiopia ' s environment protection agency and has proved himself an extraordinarily effective negotiator . at 2am at the 2002 earth summit , he made one of the most impassioned speeches heard at a global meeting . it had looked certain that the world ' s politicians would back a us proposal giving the world trade organisation the power to override international environment treaties , but he shamed the ministers into voting it down . no one could remember a personal intervention having such an impact , and his battles on behalf of developing countries to protect them from patents , unfettered free trade and gm crops are legendary . he was nominated by vandana shiva .
the reason why i referred to 1991 earlier as a year of transition is that while we had windows , most people who were using pc ' s considered it brand spanking new , as 3 . 0 was the first version that was considered to be actually usable . windows wasn ' t the predominant application environment . no , that honor went to ms - dos .
my guess is that it ' s not that you ' re being friendly to the environment . it ' s that you ' re being friendly in an environmental way . it ' s actually odd for me to see the dash in
environmentally - friendly
, because the first word in the pair is simply the adverb explaining in what way you are being friendly .
no one can doubt the persuasive powers of wangari maathai , nobel peace prize - winner and 67 - year - old former assistant minister of the environment in kenya . it is she who has coaxed the mexican army , japanese geishas , french celebrities , 10 , 000 malaysian schools , the president of turkmenistan and children in rotherham to roll up their sleeves , dig a hole and plant a tree .
the consultation was carried out by slr consulting ireland ( slr ) as part of a mountain access development assessment for the reeks , initiated on behalf of south kerry development partnership , dept . of environment , community and local government and failte ireland . the slr report , finalised in march 2014 , identified the need for the establishment and resourcing of an appropriate local management structure to oversee the macgillycuddy reeks mountain access scheme .
there was also debate over leonardo dicaprio . it would be easy to sniff at someone who seemed to have merely pledged to forgo private jets and made a couple of films about the environment , but we felt the hollywood superstar who has grabbed the green agenda had to be included because of the worldwide influence he is expected to have . thanks to his massive celebrity status dicaprio could be a crucial figure in persuading and leading the next generation .
icebergs are becoming a recurring theme in the life of 33 - year - old leonardo dicaprio . first , his acting career went stellar after playing the lead in titanic . now it is dramatic footage of icebergs and polar bears , both threatened by climate change , that is a striking feature of his documentary the 11th hour ( released in the uk next month ) , a powerful call to arms for our species to protect the environment a great deal better .
having seen the courage , strength and need of the children , matti found a new way to bring fresh hopes and more than a few smiles to the children with cancer and their families . founded in 1987 by contopulos , children ' s cancer research fund ( ccrf ) is a non - profit organization dedicated to two important goals : to provide support on a national level for clinical research in pediatric cancer and to improve the medical environment for all children .
mohammed valli moosa , 50 , was south africa ' s environment minister from 1999 to 2004 . he has campaigned for transnational african
peace parks
for wildlife and pushed for reduced use of plastic bags . but he may play a much greater role in the global environment debate as chairman of eskom , the state - owned power company that runs south africa ' s only nuclear plant and , starting in 2008 , is hoping to build dozens of fourth - generation small - scale nuclear stations . known as pebble bed modular reactors , these are smaller , cheaper and reportedly safer than other designs and valli moosa says they could be the base of the 21st eco - economy - ideally for desalination plants and creating the raw material for the heralded but slow to appear hydrogen economy . south africa has some of the world ' s greatest reserves of uranium : put them with the technology and it could start looking like a superpower .
then the guardian ' s science , environment and economics correspondents met to add their own nominations and establish a final 50 . great names were argued over , and unknown ones surfaced . should al gore be on the list ? he may have put climate change on the rich countries ' agenda , but some felt his solution of trading emissions is not enough and no more than what all major businesses and western governments are now saying . but in the end he squeaked through .
he has played a prominent role in conducting research and facilitating participatory processes and multi - stakeholder dialogues around water resource management , hydropower , fisheries and local livelihoods in the mekong region – acting as a consultant and advisor to the asian development bank ( adb ) in the 3s river basin ( reta 6367 ) , the mekong river commission and the world bank , and as theme leader on fisheries and livelihoods for the mekong programme on water , environment and resilience ( m - power ) research network .
patriarch bartholomew i , archbishop of constantinople and new rome , is the spiritual leader of 300 million orthodox christians around the world . he ' s also extremely green , each year taking church leaders of all denominations to areas of the world beset with environmental problems - including the amazon , the arctic and the danube . after announcing , on an island in the aegean , that attacks on the environment should be considered sins , he called pollution of the world ' s waters
a new apocalypse
and led global calls for
creation care
. way ahead of his time , he has made the environment an increasingly powerful strand of christian thinking in britain - and latterly the us , where traditionally right wing churches have followed his lead and now openly counter president bush ' s stance . bartholomew , 67 , is now heavily influencing the pope and has shared a green stage with him several times in rome . it all suggests institutional christianity is greening up fast after centuries of ambivalence and outright hostility .
his professional work has involved a range of responsibilities - programme management , capacity building , and policy - oriented action research . he has worked in senior management and advisory positions for the thailand environment institute ( tei ) , the institute of social and environmental transition , the international union for the conservation of nature ( iucn ) and the worldfish centre , and taken on consultancy roles for a range of ngos ( including oxfam , save the children ) , un agencies ( undp , fao and uncdf ) and bilateral donors ( including dfid , danida and sida ) .
family characteristics that could undermine the health of children and adolescents include a family environment that is conflictual , angry , violent , or abusive ; parent / child relationships that are unresponsive and lacking in cohesiveness , warmth , and emotional support ; and parenting styles that are either overly controlling and dominating or that offer little imposition of rules and structure ( taylor et al . , 1997 ) . long - term exposure to such conditions contributes to deficits in emotional understanding , difficulties with appropriate expression of emotion , increased emotional reactivity to conflict , and maladaptive coping strategies for managing stressful events in general .
well , i can only give one upvote to your answer , but i have to say it looks pretty convincing to me . the environment became more of an issue to forward - thinkers thru the 70 ' s and 80 ' s , but marketing departments only really started pushing their products '
green
credentials in the last couple of decades . by the time they got on the bandwagon , responsible , sensitive , concious , etc . , had already staked out the lexical territory . most of those earlier conjunctives required - ally anyway , so the ad - men were just going with the tide of linguistic history . . .
to come up with a list of the 50 people most able to prevent the continuing destruction of the planet , we consulted key people in the global environment debate . our panel included scientists - former world bank chief scientist and now the british government ' s scientific adviser on climate change , bob watson , indian physicist and ecologist vandana shiva , kenyan biologist and nobel prize - winner wangari maathai ; activists - guardian columnist george monbiot and head of greenpeace international gerd leipold ; politicians - green party co - leader and mep caroline lucas , and london mayor ken livingstone ; sustainable development commissioner for the uk government jonathon porritt and novelist philip pullman .
she ' s not so popular with greens , who accuse her of being a lackey to nuclear power and a friend of bush , but they accept that she gets things done . ten years ago , she shocked people when she said germany should aim to raise the proportion of its electricity generated from renewable energy to 50 % by 2050 . it ' s now 12 % - compare britain ' s 3 % - and is on track to be 20 % in 12 years ' time . she asked germans to believe her when she said renewables would provide more jobs . there are now nearly 250 , 000 people working in the sector . and at the un meeting at bali last month , she told the eu it had to stick together and be ambitious . it led the fight against president bush .
with regard to specific disease outcomes , the relationship between ses and cardiovascular disease has received the most attention . ses appears to be an important factor in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease ( kaplan and keil , 1993 ) , the leading cause of death in this country ( national center for health statistics , 1992 ) . the british whitehall study of civil servants found that those in the lowest grades of employment were at highest risk for heart disease ( marmot et al . , 1991 ) and that low levels of personal control in the work environment could explain much of this association ( bosma et al . , 1997 ; marmot et al . , 1997 ) .
yet just a few weeks later he had the english media , and the nation at large , queuing up to praise his self - deprecating wit , his multilingual sophistication and his sublime talent . he was no longer a mercenary thespian , but a down - to - earth guy who drove a vw beetle , gave money to charity and was concerned about the environment . the transformation was perfectly captured by two pieces in the guardian . one , written , in june 1994 , was entitled ' why i hate jürgen klinsmann ' . the other , published a couple of months later , was headed ' why i love jürgen klinsmann ' . they were written by the same writer , and that writer was me .
several experimental studies have investigated the link between the social relationship and cardiovascular reactivity . kamarck et al . ( 1990 ) found that participants asked to complete a laboratory task alone exhibited significantly greater systolic blood pressure and heart rate reactivity than did those who were allowed to have a friend with them . lepore et al . ( 1993 ) varied the degree of social support available to participants asked to give a speech . the three social conditions were to give the speech alone , to give it in the presence of a nonsupportive confederate , and to give it in the presence of a supportive confederate . participants in the last group exhibited the smallest increase in systolic pressure , followed by participants who gave their speeches alone . links between neuroendocrine measures , cardiovascular reactivity , and blood pressure and social relationships might constitute potential pathways by which social networks , support , and engagement influence important health outcomes .
carlo petrini , 58 , is the only anti - mcdonald ' s activist who has been welcomed to the offices of david cameron , david miliband , prince charles , al gore and barack obama . the founder of the international slow food movement , nominated here by vandana shiva , is idolised by rich and leisured foodies for promoting high - quality , small - scale farming and organising a relaxed life around long lunches . but petrini , an italian leftie of the old school , has a far more serious purpose than saving the pilchard or parma ham . the slow food movement has now expanded across 100 countries and is throwing poisoned darts at the whole fast food culture and the multinational food producers that between them have wrecked so much of the environment .
jockin arputham , 60 , has lived in a slum outside mumbai since 1963 . as president of the national slum dwellers association and slum dwellers international , he is rallying the world ' s poorest city dwellers to improve their environment . urban squalor is one of the biggest problems of the age , and by 2030 the number of slum dwellers is projected to reach two billion - a recipe for poverty , disease and political instability . arputham has pioneered a way to help the poor negotiate with city authorities to secure land ownership - the greatest barrier to improving slums . dozens of other new urban groups are working in 70 countries and hundreds of thousands of people have benefited . global urbanisation is inevitable , and these new federations will have more and more ecological influence .

lowry served 21 years in elective offices in washington - - 1976 to 1978 in the king county council , 1979 to 1989 representing the 7th district in congress , and 1993 to 1997 as governor . a vociferous , table - pounding liberal , he came from a family of new deal democrats in the palouse , and he was respected by friend and foe because they knew where he stood . he was variously described as
mercurial ,
frumpy ,
earthy ,
and
irascible
( anderson ) . in 1995 , a former staff member charged him with sexual harassment and he did not seek re - election as governor . he remained active in a range of public - sector projects , primarily in migrant housing and the homeless . he also served in various volunteer capacities , such as co - chair of the king county charter review commission and co - chair of the washington wildlife and recreation coalition .
in some cases it ' s also sometimes tough to take a call on which is more correct . is an

environmentally - friendly , or is it environment - friendly ? there ' s as much semantics in r & d as in marketing & advertising . company a might claim the former , while company b might object . and while the government , the companies and the scientists go about interminably to reach a consensus , marketing and q3 targets cannot wait . so , a convenient eco - friendly is used instead . this doesn ' t make it explicit if it means ecologically - friendly , or ecology - friendly , so the guys in legal like it . it ' s also shorter , so adland likes it . run with it .
andrew kimbrell , 51 , was a concert pianist and music teacher in new york before he joined an emerging breed of activist lawyers forcing governments to take the environment much more seriously . last year in the us supreme court , he defeated the bush administration ' s policy of refusing to regulate global warming . it was a defining moment in the american debate and forced bush to regulate carbon dioxide pollution from motor vehicles under the clean air act . kimbrell is now working with others to devise a new concept of ' natural law ' based on the idea that humans are just one part of a wider community of beings and that the welfare of each member of that community depends on the welfare of the earth as a whole . it sounds heretical now , but is traditional in many societies and one to watch in the west .
many of these saplings may not survive more than a few weeks , and the numbers are not to be trusted , but the billion tree campaign shows that maathai - a professor of biology and mother of three children - has gone from being almost unknown in 2003 to a global treasure in just a few years . there is now barely a president or prime minister in europe , asia or africa who has not invited maathai to endorse their plans or tried to sign her up as a goodwill ambassador to show off their newfound enthusiasm for the environment . she has addressed the un general assembly , carried the flag at the olympic games , and received sackfuls of citations and awards . maathai has succeeded in putting deforestation high on the agenda in developing countries , just as al gore made people in rich countries aware of climate change .
despite enormous improvements in sanitary engineering , which have contributed to the sharp increase in life expectancy observed among all socioeconomic groups during the past century , the socioeconomic gradient in health status persists . it has been proposed that the ses gap is still attributable to effects of crowded and unsanitary housing , air and water pollution , inadequate food supply , poor working conditions , and other such deficits that disproportionately affect those in the lower socioeconomic strata . studies that incorporate assessments of material deprivation and the physical environment will be important to sort out the degree to which this is an important pathway . however , inasmuch as the gradient in morbidity and mortality persists even between middle - class and well - to - do men and women and even in societies in which material conditions are very good , it seems unlikely that gradients are solely the result of these material circumstances .
understanding why “poor people behave poorly” ( lynch et al . , 1997a ) requires recognition that specific behaviors once thought of as falling exclusively within the realm of individual choice occur in a social context . the social environment influences behavior by shaping norms ; enforcing patterns of social control ( which can be health promoting or health damaging ) ; providing or not providing environmental opportunities to engage in particular behaviors ; and reducing or producing stress , for which engaging in specific behaviors might be an effective short - term coping strategy ( berkman and kawachi , 2000 ) . environments , especially social contexts , place constraints on individual choice . incorporating the social context into behavioral interventions led to a new array of clinical trials that take advantage of communities , schools , and worksites to achieve behavioral change ( see sorensen et al . , 1998 ; chapter 6 , this volume ) .
jia zhangke , 37 , is among the most prominent artists raising awareness about the environment . his film still life , which won the 2006 golden lion award at venice , is a tale of social upheaval and ecological destruction set against the backdrop of the three gorges dam in china - one of the world ' s biggest hydroelectric projects which has forced millions of people to move . it tells the story of a man and a woman who are searching for their spouses in a town that has been flooded by the rising waters of the mighty reservoir behind the barrier . the film was passed by the chinese censors despite its portrayal of official corruption , land seizures and thuggish violence . this is the best - known cinematic critique of the ecological destruction in china , but many other artists and film - makers are now addressing the problems of the country ' s breakneck race for economic growth .
marina silva , 49 , is brazil ' s environment minister . the daughter of a brazilian rubber tapper , she spent her childhood collecting rubber from the amazon forest and demonstrating against the destruction wrought by illegal loggers . in one of the great political journeys , she rose from being illiterate at 16 to become brazil ' s youngest senator , and is now the woman most able to prevent the amazon ' s wholesale ruin . under her watch , deforestation has reduced by nearly 75 % and millions of square miles of reserves have been given to traditional communities . last year 1 , 500 companies were raided and one million cubic metres of illegally felled timber were confiscated . but the future , says silva , is peril ous . the only way that long - term loss will be averted is with foreign help .
we don ' t want charity , it ' s a question of ethics of solidarity ,

the aim of the mas was to formally agree recreational access with landowners on a mountain / mountain range or in selected uplands area , to facilitate recreational access to those uplands . the mas would map out designated access points , provide indemnity to landowners against specified claims , provide adequate parking and related facilities and any additional infrastructure required to support the specified recreational activities . access to upland areas should be carried out only in a manner that protects and enhances the natural environment , local habitats and ecosystems , while supporting rural development and development of the economic potential of local assets for the benefit of landowners , local communities and other stakeholders . the mas should also leverage the available public and private funding resources , including investigation of user charges / licensing / donations / philanthropy , commercial sponsorship and / or levies or contributions from commercial operators and beneficiaries . the overall aim is to ensure that use of the mountain access area and its associated facilities and services can be marketed and promoted , with clarity and confidence .
at the moment , he is making his own meticulous study of coaching methods . hence his appearance at his friend bruce arena , the us team coach ' s training session . ' i always look at coaches and think what can i learn from them . many american coaches actually know far more than some european coaches because they ' re constantly studying and learning . they use the resources of the university system , and get the update on speed and psychology . i know some coaches in europe who still do the same sprint training as 15 years ago because they were successful then . but these coaches are looking at new developments . that ' s why it ' s very exciting to live here . if i want to look at ucla research , i can . i know that no club in europe will do that . ' he thinks football should learn from us sports , such as basketball . ' look at how they react as soon as they shoot a basket . they defend right away . they don ' t even think about it . but soccer players lose a ball and start thinking
what do i have to do now ?
. . . i think in europe we ' re a little bit too football focused .

justification : japalura tricarinata has been assessed as least concern owing to its large distribution . no specific threats have been reported and this species is not undergoing significant population declines . further research into the taxonomy of the genus japalura , including j . tricarinata is needed . monitoring is required to ensure that the localized threat of deforestation does not become more widespread .

younger sibling
to the chameleon , the armattan japalura is the fanciest micro frame around , and the second design in armattan ' s selection that features aluminum protection . inspired by many of the same principals as the chameleon , the japalura is a lighter , more compact package that still supports many of today ' s fpv standards . this
3 inch
frame can handle full - sized miniquad guts , houses your standard hs1177 camera , and shields everything but the battery with two 4mm thick 6061 aluminum ribs .
the specific epithet is a noun in genitive case formed from the personal name hidetoshi ota of the tropical biosphere research center , university of the ryukyus , japan . his comprehensive work and taxonomic revisions of japalura species have immensely contributed to our current knowledge of this genus .

according to teldap . tw , taiwan ' s japalura breuipes is an arboreal ( lives in trees ) lizard that can grow to be a foot long . interestingly , new research into the island ' s jungles has provided a glimpse of a new relative of our lovely local lizard . this recently discovered creature measures 138 mm diagonally , and incorporates metal with its largely carbon - based body . fortunately for many of the collectors who have expressed interest in the organism , this little one prefers to keep its feet firmly planted on terra firma . we call this new lizard the japalura .
the japalura has been constructed to armattan standards , and we believe the frame is tough enough to warrant a top - to - bottom warranty . ( hah , see what we did there ? ) this baby is covered from the aluminum roll bars down to the smallest of top - plates .

the japalura is the newest quadcopter to the armattan micro quad lineup . it ' s a 130mm mini racer constructed using top of the line hardware . the quality that went into this thing is as high as it gets . super smooth carbon plates , that were cut to perfection , even the edges are smooth . the frame is a work of art and comes in 2 colors : purple and silver . the fully built prototype that i received , contained the following hardware :
the armattan japalura is the little brother to the popular armattan chameleon . the components used here will work on either the 3
or the 4
baseplate . traditionally 1407 motors have been used exclusively on 3
builds , but a new trend has emerged putting 4
props on a 3
powertrain . the advantage is a light - weight build with the flexibility to choose either 3
or 4
props and carry an hd camera . this particular configuration can easily handle a mobius mini .
diagnosis : following inger’s ( 1960 ) definition of the genus , the new species is assigned to japalura based on a number of diagnostic characters , including : ( 1 ) dorsal scales unequal in size ; ( 2 ) enlarged crest scales present ; ( 3 ) gular pouch present ; ( 4 ) lateral fold of skin in axilla - groin region present ; ( 5 ) supraciliary scales greatly imbricate ; ( 6 ) head relatively long , flat ; ( 7 ) tail long , slender ; ( 8 ) tail cylindrical in shape ; and ( 9 ) precloacal and femoral pores absent .

as with any armattan release , some of the best features of this frame are the lack of restrictions you have when building . for example : like usual , the japalura supports a 30 . 5mm center stack up to 28mm high . in addition , the adjustable angle on the aluminum vtx mount supports a variety of transmitter options . another feature is the option to mount the battery on the top or the bottom of this machine , just in case you have a strong preference . lastly , if built with an eye on the weight of all the components , you ought to be able to skate by underneath the united state ' s faa registration restriction of 250g .
the japalura is equipped with a foxeer hs1177 camera upgraded with a gopro lens . the vtx is a foxeer tm200 - 200mwvtx connected to this is a lumineer axii 5 . 8ghz antenna . this was the first time i ' ve even seen a mini antenna like this , i am happy to say that it performed great - it ' s small makeup makes it light , but it also performs just as good as any other antenna i ' ve used . as far as the rest of the fpv gear goes , everything worked as it should , excellent range , excellent picture quality , can ' t think of a single negative , so i will leave it at that .
i was amazed at how smooth and easy it was to fly this thing . i ' ve flown other smaller sized quads and none come close to how good this thing feels . i ' m not the best at tuning quads , actually i use basically the same tune on all of my quads , with slight variations . so with the japalura , even with a moderate tune , it feels locked in . i think a lot of it has to do with the fc and esc ' s - it ' s able to process noise and errors out resulting in a super smooth flight . and because of this : i feel so much more confident when i am out flying .
japalura iadina sp . nov . differs from j . laeviventris by having a smaller adult body size ( svl 54 - 65 mm v . s . 64 - 72 mm ) , distinctively keeled ventral scales of head and body ( v . s . smooth or weakly keeled ) , fewer md ( 35 - 46 v . s . 57 - 59 ) , distinct ground coloration of the dorsal surfaces of head and body in males ( emerald green v . s . off - white ) , distinct coloration of gular spots ( blue in males , greenish yellow in females v . s . orange in both sexes ) , and distinct patterns of pigmentations on the dorsal surfaces of the body along the dorsal midline ( black vertebral stripes speckled with green v . s . m - shaped patterns of dark brown pigmentation ) .
the frame is not just attractive , its also tough as nails ( i ' ve been in some pretty gnarly crashes ) - aside from a few scratches , the frame remains in excellent condition . its thick in all the right places , and yes , there are a crap load of screws , but this just adds to the frames strength . the final version of the japalura have slight changes to the bottom and side plates . from the pictures it looks like the arms were rounded out at the end , and the side plates were made taller and wider . the frame has holes to support mini flight controllers w / 20x20mm mounting holes , and also holes to fit regular sized fc ( 30x30mm mount holes ) . the front portion of the frame angles upwards and allows fitment of full sized cameras similar to an hs1177 . holes in the frame allow the camera to be mounted directly to the frame , and allows uptilt angles of nearly 90 degrees .
japalura laeviventris sp . nov . can be distinguished from all congeners by the combination of the following suite of morphological characteristics : ( 1 ) small adult body size ( svl 67 - 72 mm in males , 64 - 70 mm in females ) ; ( 2 ) moderate tal ( tal / svl 168 % - 200 % ) ; ( 3 ) moderate hll ( hll / svl 64 . 3 % - 78 . 4 % ) ; ( 4 ) nsl 1 ; ( 5 ) t4s 22 - 26 ; ( 6 ) sor 3 ; ( 7 ) strongly - protuberant , conical , post - tympanic scale absent ; ( 8 ) strongly - protuberant , conical , post - rictal scale absent ; ( 9 ) tympanum concealed ; ( 10 ) nuchal crests relatively raised on weak skin folds ; ( 11 ) dorsal crests weakly developed without distinct skin folds in males ; ( 12 ) transverse gular fold present ; ( 13 ) gular pouch distinct , present ; ( 14 ) scales of ventral surface of body smooth or weakly keeled ; ( 15 ) md 57 - 59 , ( 16 ) ground dorsal coloration off - white in males , brownish - gray in females ; ( 17 ) dorsal , lateral , and ventral surface of head , dorsal forelimbs , and lateral surface of body speckled with black ; ( 18 ) distinct radial streaks around eyes ; ( 19 ) dorsolateral stripes present , smooth - edged , pale - yellow in males ; ( 20 ) dark - brown , “m” - shaped pigmentation patterns along dorsal midline in males ; and ( 21 ) small , triangular , orange gular spots in adults of both sexes .
available in either silver or purple , this frame looks smashing when paired with oomph 1407 motors .

real technology that will change our hobby forever . runcam split review + footage .
too cheap to be real ? how is this possible ? furibee x215 review .
here we ' re using the new kiss all - in - one flight controller . joined with the x4r receiver and tbs unify vtx we can tune pids and change radio frequencies through a taranis . while support for the tbs unify isn ' t cooked into the kiss firmware at the moment , it will be released any day now .
it ' s best to start by fitting the stack . sometimes this can be the most time consuming part of the build depending on your stack space and standoff selection . it ' s definitely good to have a wide variety of standoffs on hand because the included standoffs rarely ever work . here i used 7mm anti - vibration standoffs . while most flight controllers work just fine , soft mounted or not , these are less prone to break and could potentially improve flight performance . that being said , they can be troublesome to fit as the female end is more shallow than a typical standoff . i ended up sending a 5mm screw with a 1mm spacer through the bottom plate into the anti - vibration standoffs . without the spacer the threading is too long .
next you ' ll want to mount the motors . normally i attach them using two screws at first in the event that i need to remove them for whatever reason . just don ' t forget to finish them up with loctite before the maiden . once the motors are in place and the flight controller is mounted you ' ll want to cut the wires to length . i used 2
lengths paracord 550 to protect the wires , but that ' s entirely optional .
you ' ll want to cut each motor wire to length individually to reach their respective esc pads . while kiss doesn ' t support motor rotation changes via software , you can solder jumper pads to change the rotation as necessary . to cut each wire you need to lay it down flat against the arm , run it up to the standoff , follow the edge of the board and divert straight up into the groove of the esc pad . it ' s important that the wires remain under the flight control board otherwise they ' ll get in the way of the canopy mounts .
you ' ll also want to solder the xt30 connector to the lipo input pads of the flight controller . i like a short lead here , so 2 - 3cm should be sufficient .
since kiss doesn ' t allow you to test your motor rotation without a bound transmitter , you ' ll want to wire up your receiver first . this is fairly straightforward , so just refer to the photos to learn the wire positions . to prepare the fc pads , add a little flux and create a nice shiny pillow of solder . the key is to leave none of the copper pad showing . this is where a quality iron is important . if the solder makes a pointy bit as you pull away you either aren ' t operating at a high enough temperature ( 750 to 800 degrees ) or your iron tip lacks sufficient flux .
now you need to bind your rx and test the motor rotation . first download the latest kiss
cc
fc firmware and install kissfc to google chrome . to update the firmware open kissfc , plug the usb cable into your flight controller , hold the boot button and plug the other end into your computer . while continuing to hold the button choose the firmware you downloaded and flash it . if you let go too early the process will fail .
after the firmware has been updated , attach a lipo , connect to the board and click
data output
to test the motor rotation . i normally rub each motor to feel the rotation direction . for any motor that spins the incorrect direction solder the corresponding jp1 jumper for that motor . refer to the kiss compactctrl
cc
manual for details .
once you ' ve completed these steps you can mount your rx and antennas . what i did was use a couple layers of double sided tape to prevent any potential shorts against the flight controller . using wide shrink tube would be a better solution , but i had none wide enough for this rx . the antennas are incredibly long , so i rotated the u . fl connectors 180 degrees to send the antennas forward . i wrapped them around the standoffs across to the other side , and out behind the front arms . if you do it just right you ' ll manage 2in of zip tie for the tips of both antennas .
now you can assemble the canopy and wire the camera and vtx . be sure to mount the antenna holder flat side out so the wings of the pigtail catch the lip . this prevents the pigtail from rotating as you attach your antenna . since we ' ll eventually be using tbs smartaudio , you can solder the audio wire of the vtx to the tx pad of the fc . now depending on which version of the tbs unify you ' re using ( hv or 5v ) you ' ll either want to solder the power leads to the lipo input pads or the rx 5v / gnd pads . once you ' ve done this you can solder the runcam wires to the vtx wires to complete the wiring . just be sure to leave enough slack to remove the canopy .
now you can attach the canopy being careful not to pinch any motor wires . i found that the pigtail can assert just enough pressure to hold the vtx to the top of the rx , so i didn ' t use any tape to hold it down . it seems to fit just right behind the camera , so i don ' t believe it ' ll be moving around in there . be sure to loctite your motors and you should be ready to maiden !
i ' ve been itching to fly this one . i ' ll see if i can take a screenshot when i get in there .
i can get about 3 minutes on an 850mah 4s pack . i haven ' t tried anything larger .
battery on the bottom and i ' ve got a mobius mini mount that fits directly on top placing the camera at an angle over the fpv cam cage . it ' s a great fit !
first of all , impeccable build . . . as a retired rf engineer , i really appreciate excellent workmanship and you ' ve done it here . do you have any photos of the mobius mini mounted to this frame ? i would love to see the mounting system . congrats . . . a beautiful piece of work .
thank you ! i haven ' t mounted the mobius mini on this one , but i do fly it with a foxeer legend 3 . here ' s a photo :
looks pretty good , looks like a good option for sub 5
builds . thanks for the reply . . . cheers , dave
it ' s a great little cam . i ' d say the image quality is more or less on par with the session 5 .
that ' s impressive . . . thanks again for your input , it really helps a lot . happy landings . . .
hi ! i can ' t stop watching this beauty , thanks for posting it ! i love it and i ' ll build it with the exact same setup but 3
. i was wondering how much does it weigh ? ( i really want to be sub - 250g ) thanks in advance for your answer , and congrats . . . nicely done !
thank you ! i think you ' ll have a hard time keeping it under 250g with most 4s packs . maybe a light 3s pack would do it . this one is 182g without a battery .
sure thing ! why not build the 4
version ? you ' d have the option to use both 3
and 4
props at only the cost of a few extra g of frame weight .
glad you liked the jap 4 . i had a lot of fun designing that one . i thought the 5
would be my favorite , but the 4
definitely takes the win for me . i built 2 and i don ' t really fly anything else now .
great work ! when i first saw that there was a 4
version i just had to build it . i liked the 3
, but that size wasn ' t compelling enough to me . did you also design the chameleon ?
same here . i built the 3 , but i ' ve only logged like 5 min on it . not for me . i did design the chameleon as well . that was more of a group effort tho . chris ' s concept , my interpretation , and a lot of really great input . this was kind of my baby . i designed it as an aluminum hybrid version of my old kaeru frame . it was intended to be 5
as well , but then i saw what catalyst was doing with the 3 . 5
prop on 1407 motors and wanted to give 4
a try . they ended up beating me to the punch with their superlite . kinda nice that they did all the research tho . then chris said he wanted a 3
as well , so i scaled it back . surprisingly , i ' m the only one on the team to ever build the 4
.
well congrats on the successful designs ! the chameleon really has taken the scene by storm . i don ' t think a day or two goes by without a new chameleon post here . whose idea was it to go with the reptile theme ?
i like it . it taught me the name of a new reptile . always good to keep learning !
those are dal bi - blade 4045s . i thought i ' d go easy on this board , but apparently it can handle a bit more . i plan to try some tri - blades at some point .
thank you ! i ' m still trying to improve them , so hopefully they ' ll get better with time .
work of art ! o - rings work great to cover that extra distance the anti - vibration standoffs leave as well as a 1mm spacer .
thank you ! i wish i had done a nicer job on the esc solders , but it works .
that ' s shrink tubing . it ' s a must when you get into building quads .
before giving this a thorough review i thought i ' d do a teardown to see what makes the taranis x - lite tick . without getting into too much detail the x - lite is a new fpv transmitter designed to be compact and ergonomic . it ' s shaped like a video game controller but has all of the functionality of a traditional transmitter like the taranis q x7 or the taranis x9d . it features opentx and supports most . .
the bannilite was a collaborative effort between luke bannister , aka banniuk and falcon multirotors . the bannilite features ample camera protection , easy arm replacements and weighs in at only 72g . it even includes a spare arm and camera mount . it ' s an excellent choice for fpv racing and doesn ' t break the bank . the goal of this build was to feature a number of modern fpv luxuries including easy . .

to their 3 line : a 130mm prototype that was nearing it ' s final stages of production . talk about excited , i was on cloud 9 ! all
the final version has a couple slight changes to the main plate and side plates .
chris hooked it up with some rotorx props and stickers . these props are amazing ! excellent top end power .
the frame is made up of a number of carbon plates ( 5 ) and aluminum pieces ( 5 ) that are held together by lots of hex head screws . the bottom plate = 3mm and side plates = 1 . 5mm
vtx mount is adjustable , simply loosen the two 1 . 5mm hex head screws on both sides : lets you keep your antenna straight . i don ' t like bending my antennae
super smooth armattan 20amp blheli - s esc ' s upgrade - able through blheli suite .
lumineer axii 5 . 8ghz rhcp antenna - excellent , lightweight antenna , just a good as any other antenna i have used , but in a smaller form factor . weighing in @ 7 . 7 grams , and 2 . 8 inches long , with the thickest part being just 0 . 7 inches .
perfect fitment for the hs1177 and other comparably sized cameras ' . easily adjust though 2 screws placed on either side of the frame . i also like the fact that i can adjust the camera to have as much up - tilt as i need .
lastly the prototype i received uses a piko blx micro f3 flight controller . i believe the version that will be released will give you the option of other fc ' s .
with this board and the esc ' s , i was able to use 8k / 4k gyro & pid loop frequencies with cpu load @ 21 % . 8k / 8k brings cpu load to 41 %
brother hobbyt1 tornado 1407  3600kv  pure awesomeness ! the motors are the heart of this quad , and they impressed the crap out of me . these 1407 t1s are tiny but very powerful . they use high quality japanese nmb bearings , along with n52h arc magnets . i took a look inside the motor , and noticed a strange magnet arrangement . it would be two magnets placed close to each other periodically around the bell . i think this may be the reason for why the motor felt notchy . these motors have a ton of power , i ' ve been running them with 4s ( 450mah , 850mah , and 1000mah ) 3
props ( mostly 40 ' s and 45 ' s ) - i don ' t remember them ever getting hot , they seem to dissipate heat very well .
the included escs are armattans own 20amp blhelli - s , and the fc is a piko blx micro f3 from furious fpv . im not sure what is different with this flight controller compared to my other f3s , but it is able to achieve an 8k / 8k gyro update / pid loop frequency , and still stay under 45 % cpu load . i have mine set to 8k / 4k to be safe ( cpu load = ~ 21 % ) but i have flown it at 8k / 8k and didnt run into any issues . its pretty amazing how everything is not only getting better , but smaller too . the piko blx is a 27x27mm fc and uses 20mmx20mm mount holes . the armattan esc ' s are smooth as butter , not a single issue , i ' ve actually tried to make them desync , but nothing : it works flawless .
i didn ' t even think to mount batteries on top , thanks wickedwingman .
that ' s looking really nice . that was the
new thing
that chris promised to send you , right ?
very nice frame indeed . what other fc options ? also what aios could be used ? ( height )
sweet as ! ! ! m8 , ive just built a couple of 130 ' s and 150 ; s for us to throw around , maybe next time i will grab one of these frames .
it can fit the small 20mm or 30 . 5mm standard fc and pdbs . stack height from man plate to alumi roo bars is 28mm , and to the cf top plate is 30mm . to the cf cutout on the side cf plates is 21mm . see picture below . this is final rev using armattan mini 1407 oomph motors . this has a full size armattan mini pdb v3 with 5v and 12v regs on board , a full size xracer f3 controller , a dys 25 / 200mw vtx with a pigtail attached , and a full size x4r frsky rx with telemetry hooked up . we also have a full size hs1177 cam with a 2 . 5mm lens installed . it all fits very nicely . osd is optional , we can install them and they fit well . we use the piggy back osd that is designed to attach to the rear of the camera .
bare frame weights 51 grams fully assembled . so basically , this will fly super well on 1306 motors with very good flight times , then it will feel closer to what a 5 inch setup feels like with more modern 1407 motors on 4s . it ' s insane fast . some footage to come soon .
dan , thanks for review in so much details . much appreciate your professionalism throughout . best , chris
fantastic review ! glad you like it ! final revisions affect the main plate arm widths and side plates . production side plates leave room for straps for top mounted batteries or accessories and also have more clearance for fill size stack components . 2 board stacks are easily possible .
that quad is flat out far out . i like the looks of it better than my gt2 150 . no doubt from what i ' ve read about armattan on here she ' ll fly amazingly . hurry up and take my money , damn this hobby chooses to be expensive . thank you danq for the in depth review and youtube videos , subbed !

this species is found in northern india and eastern nepal . it occurs in the annapurna region of nepal , and eastwards into sikkim and west bengal ( schleich and kästle 2002 ) . macey et al . ( 2000 ) also recorded this species in xizang , tibet . schleich and kästle ( 2002 ) note that specimens collected in southern tibet have previously been misidentified as calotes jerdoni . this species is found between 900 and 2 , 900 m above sea level .
this species is locally abundant in zhangmu ( j . macey pers . comm . ) . schleich and kästle ( 2002 ) report that in ghorepani relatively high densities of this species were found .
this species is a terrestrial , rock - dwelling agamid ( sharma 2002 ) . in nepal , it is known from wet monsoon and rhododendron forests , and is most frequently encountered along forest edges ( schleich and kästle 2002 ) .
it is unlikely that any major threat is impacting this species , however , this species may be locally threatened as a result of deforestation . schleich and kästle ( 2002 ) note that the sporadic distribution of this species may be caused by the lack of remaining moist broadleaf forests .

eight specimens of one new species were collected from the upper nujiang valley near the nujiang bridge at baxoi , qamdo prefecture of eastern tibet , china , including two adult males , four adult females , and two juveniles . twelve specimens of a second new species were collected from the upper lancang valley at ninong , deqin , northwestern yunnan , china , including 11 adult males and one adult female .
following euthanasia , tissue samples were taken from livers and preserved in 95 % ethanol , and voucher specimens were fixed in 10 % buffered formalin and later transferred to 70 % ethanol for long - term preservation . with the exception of a single female specimen collected from tibet that possesses an incomplete tail ( kiz 014040 ) , all adult specimens were chosen as the type series . all specimens ( including kiz 014040 ) are deposited in the museum of kunming institute of zoology , chinese academy of sciences ( kiz ) .
measurements were made with digital calipers to the nearest 0 . 1 mm , except for snout - vent length ( svl ) and tail length ( tal ) , which was made with a ruler to the nearest 1 mm . with the exception of several new traits measured in this study , focal characters and character definitions follow wang et al . ( 2015 ) : snout - vent length ( svl ) , tail length ( tal ) , head width ( hw ) , snout - eye length ( sel ) , fore - limb length ( fll ) , hind limb length ( hll ) , supralabial count ( sl ) , infralabial count ( il ) , middorsal scale ( md ) , toe iv subdigital lamellae ( t4s ) , toe iv length ( t4l ) , trunk length ( trl ) , interorbital distance ( iod ) , number of scales between nasal and first supralabials ( nsl ) , supraciliary count ( scl ) , and number of scale rows between sixth supralabial and orbit circle ( sor ) . additionally , in this study we examined the following morphometric characters ( definitions provided after colon ) : enlarged , conical , post - tympanic scale count ( pty ) : large conical scales posterior to tympanum ; and enlarged , conical , post - rictal scale count ( prs ) : large conical scales posterior to the rictus . values for paired characters ( sl , il , nsl , sor ) were recorded from both sides of the body , with counts provided in left / right order .
