Road closures kept residents from passing through the region for almost 12 hours, as a precautionary measure. The Defence Department manages the Woomera Prohibited Area, a huge swath of land, about half the size of the UK, where the capsule . Outback adventure The Australian Space Agency and the country's Department of Defence played a significant role in the capsule's safe return.
'We sent it to the Central National Herbarium in Howrah, West Bengal, and later National Botanical Research Institute in Lucknow, for testing and they confirmed our suspicions that it is kuth,' Maranko said.
Whether cutting grass or barreling through low-brush, this mower performed like a tank. Where other lesser mowers stalled, It was simply unstoppable. That said, the EGO Power Plus definitely had the most oomph. At 62.6 pounds, this machine is one of the biggest and heaviest in my test group. Chris Monroe/CNET
Anyone that doubts that an electric mower can't rival the power of gas models, hasn't used an EGO.
Wolves midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White returns to training two... Arsenal target Manuel Akanji has a 'prove them wrong tattoo'... 'I'd back myself to have a crack at it': Steve Bruce says... 'He was just the perfect captain': Joe Cole names 'leader'...
I paid close attention to whether mowers stalled, got bogged down, or struggled in any way while cutting. I also ran the same test through a low-brush section on the outer edge of the lawn. This served as a torture test for high-powered models, and a good way to determine which mowers are truly worth your money.

Just because a lawn mower isn't self-propelled doesn't mean it's hard to use. It stalled less than some of the larger, more powerful mowers in my test group, and the Ryobi's light weight made it simple for me to push. Even though it's extremely compact and weighs just 34.5 pounds, this tiny machine packs a punch.
The scheme unveiled by Mr Johnson today promises around £5billion in new money - albeit for country smaller in geographic size and population. In today's money that equates to $800billion, or around £650billion.
With its natural habitat - spread across Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, parts of Pakistan and China - constantly shrinking and its wild population almost gone, the Indian government has declared it a threatened plant variety.
Fujimoto says that is likely to occur sometime around Dec. The capsule will be carefully disassembled and then moved to a clean room where the sample will be processed and opened under vacuum conditions at JAXA's Sagamihara campus. Analysis of the gas will continue but it may be a little longer before the capsule is officially cracked open.
Schwab also revealed that the numerous organisations that operate under the WPA's umbrella, including global footballers' union FIFPro and cricketers' equivalent FICA, had been contacted often by athletes worried about their prospects if they catch the virus.
-- well within 100 hours. One of the scientists there to meet it was Tsuda Yuichi, project manager on the mission. A plane carrying the sample capsule landed at Haneda Airport in Japan at 7:20 a.m., local time, on Tuesday. The capsule was removed from the aircraft and ferried to the ISAS facility at Sagamihara by 11:27 a.m.

While the Hart 40-volt Cordless Brushlessmower doesn't have the raw cutting power of other electric push machines, it's no slouch either. It also powered through challenging low brush without choking.

The mission will feature partnerships with NASA, the French Space Agency and the European Space Agency. It's also likely to feature another key partner: Australia. Though not officially confirmed, Fujimoto has hinted those samples would also touch down in the outback.
So, any import or export in the plant around the world will take place only with a CITES certificate. Also, the global Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) has declared it a 'critically endangered' plant.
Other noteworthy features include a wide, 21-inch cutting platform and 56-volt battery that works with EGO's entire line of yard power tools. I also appreciated that I could engage its variable speed engine without having to spin the mower's blade. Despite its heft, the EGO Power Plus was a cinch to drive around the yard. I found it fast and stable, too.
Officials of the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (WCCB), western region, identified the plant as the rare 'Saussurea costus', or 'kuth', which grows only at high altitudes of 8,000-12,000 feet in very cold climate.
