With the Graduation Concert this Thursday, and the Guest spot at the Bicentennial Park Tamworth Country Music Festival on Friday night, it seems that everyone is pulling out all of the stops to perform their best work. I know I am.
Dan Biddle came into see us this morning with an honest look at what a manager does (or at least should do) for their artists. His presentation was engaging, as her focused on his experiences and the artists he works with. Ultimately, his "Know who you are, where you are, and where you want to be" is an overriding thing that helps not only managers, but artists and their fans.
Ex graduated and successful Country Music entertainer Amber Lawrence is an incredibly switched on performer. She reiterated about having a clear brand (what you wear, what you say, what you play, lyric content, types of gigs, style of music, etc.), but supported this with ideas and tips about the logistically running a musical career as a business, including finances things.
In addition to her career based talk, she did an additional presentation on the uses of Music in the digital age. This was a really cool presentation. It looks like I'm doing most of the things she was suggesting (which is good to hear), however she did introduce the group to a website called "StageIt". The concept is that you stream an online concert/show up to 30 minutes long. This interested the other head tutors and students here at the academy so much that we presented a show after our last class as a demonstration of the website/software in action. I know from looking at our performance that there is a huge amount of merit in putting these shows together. I'm keen to give it a go when I'm back in New Zealand.
The rest of the day was focused on prep for these events this week. I love my group member's songs. Our work with the band was really creatively to the point, with our practice room prep focusing on the intricate melodies, harmonies, rhythms, hooks, plus more. I'm sure we're going to rock (or country up) these shows later this week.


HAUS are simply getting bigger by the day now, and today sees the band announce that they're going to be off on a UK-wide tour! Having recently released their "SWYS" EP, (produced by Everything Everything's Alex Robertshaw) via Atlas Artists earlier this year, the band have also played to huge crowds across UK and European festivals including Reading + Leeds festival amongst them.
Head on down to check out the tour dates - tickets can be found here.


Use your sense of smell to identify fruits. Find out how the smell changes as fruits ripen.
Two tubes contain tomato, two tubes contain banana and two tubes contain strawberry.
Smell the tubes and find the pairs.
For each pair, one tube contains ripe fruit and one contains unripe fruit.
Can you smell which is ripe and which is unripe?
Check your smells by pulling the sleeve down off the tube.
As a fruit ripens it makes new chemicals that change its smell.
Ripe smells attract animals, which eat the fruit and spread the seeds.
Fruits also change colour as they ripen, also to attract animals.
What colour is your favourite fruit before and after it ripens?

Things just got a little better for Jaguar car owners because the vehicles are getting more affordable thanks to two key changes that the car company is making to its lineup. Now the cars are more affordable, and they come with free maintenance as well. These improvements come just after a minor dip in sales to the Jaguar brand. Car purchases dropped down a slight 4.4 percent throughout August, but these improvements are likely to alter that a bit.
Jaguar plans to lower it's 2016 model prices by between $1,500 and $3,000 making the vehicles slightly more affordable, though the difference isn't something that will suddenly create a surge of new customers or keep it out of luxury car price ranges. The vehicle is also going to come with a car warranty known as EliteCare that's pretty comprehensive and cuts maintenance tasks out of the picture.
The warranty offers free scheduled maintenance for vehicle owners for the first five years or 60,000 miles. The warranty will make keeping the vehicle in top condition much easier to do, but they won't cover parts that wear out quickly such as tires and brake pads. The maintenance package also comes with a free roadside assistance program and a phone app that lets car owners monitor their vehicles more closely and perform actions such as locking and unlocking doors using their smartphone for convenience.
Another improvement that Jaguar is offering to its customers is a set of option packages that are universal between all the different models. Now each vehicle will have a premium, prestige and R-Sport package available. The different packages include different sets of features and getting the level of luxury that you want is now as simple as picking the appropriate level. It greatly simplifies the ordering process and will make it easier for Jaguar buyers to pick out an ideal vehicle without pouring over every single feature that they want.
It's hard to say whether these new incentives will encourage more people to shop for a Jaguar, but they're certainly nice and should help lower the cost of owning a Jaguar considerably. Anyone crunching the numbers will see that the new and improved maintenance warranty is a real value.

Courtbackspier study
— Mar 7th, 2005
BELLINGHAM (AP) — A panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has refused a request from the BP Cherry Point Refinery for full-court consideration of a decision that could lead to restrictions on use of an expanded pier.
The three-judge panel of the San Francisco-based appeals court declined the request Friday, affirming its earlier finding that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers should have required the company to complete an environmental impact statement before the pier was finished in 2001.
The decision came on a lawsuit filed by environmental groups. The appellate panel ordered U.S. District Court Judge Robert Lasnik of Seattle to hold a hearing to determine what restrictions should be imposed to address environmental concerns.
In March 2004, the 9th Circuit panel said Lasnik erred in upholding a Corps decision that no impact statement was required for the $31 million project, which added a second platform and doubled berthing capacity at the refinery pier.
"Increased tanker traffic elevates the risk of oil spills — an undeniable and patently apparent risk of harm to Puget Sound," Judge Dorothy W. Nelson wrote in the original 9th Circuit ruling. "An oil spill could destroy and disrupt ecosystems and kill or injure critical numbers of threatened and endangered species that live and thrive in the Cherry Point region."
Among other things, Lasnik could restrict the volume of ship traffic at the pier, said Seattle lawyer Jon Arum, who represented the plaintiff group Ocean Advocates.
The ruling also means that BP will have to proceed with the drafting of an environmental impact statement for the already-completed pier, Arum said.
"How you operate is the issue," said Fred Felleman, Northwest director of Ocean Advocates. Other plaintiffs in the case are Fuel Safe Washington, North Cascades Audubon Society and Sudden Valley gill-netter Dan Crawford.
BP officials contended the project cut the risk of an oil spill by reducing the amount of time tankers must lie at anchor while waiting to unload their cargo. Environmentalists said the expansion increased the risk by boosting tanker traffic.
An oil spill could damage nearby killer whale populations, and runs of chinook salmonas well as herring spawning grounds. for herring, a key link in the marine food chain.
In August, the National Marine Fisheries Service agreed to consider whether the Cherry Point herring population also warrants protection under the Endangered Species Act. Herring there have declined 90 percent over the past 30 years, environmental groups said in requesting the listing.
The spawning grounds have been tainted by industrial pollution from the refineries and smelter, dock construction, vessel traffic, and disease and foreign species introduced from ship ballast water, the groups said.
Cherry Pt. Herring Left Off ESA List
SEATTLE The federal government has declined to protect certain herring near Bellingham under the Endangered Species Act, despite a 94 percent drop in the population from 1970 to 2000. The schools' collapse would not drive all Puget Sound herring to extinction, officials said in announcing the ... [Read More...]

Remediation work at the Milltown Reservoir Superfund Site in 2008, Bonner Montana.
This spring Missoula celebrated the 10th anniversary of the removal of the Milltown Dam on the Clark Fork river east of town. Now, some people are saying that the old dam could have mitigated some of this year's flooding.
The Milltown Dam was 100 years old when its removal started in 2008. At the confluence of the Blackfoot and Clark Fork Rivers, it backed up some 3 million cubic yards of contaminated mining sediments.
And there are those in Missoula's flooded Orchard Homes area who believe that if it still stood, their neighborhood would be the better for it.
John DeArment, the Clark Fork Coalition's science director respectfully disagrees.
"We're sure sympathetic to the folks out in Orchard Homes who are seeing that flooding, But the truth is that the dam, even when it was originally constructed, was a run-of-the-river reservoir. It had no capacity to store the flood flows of the Clark Fork River.
"What we probably would be seeing is continued risk of catastrophic failure of the dam and a major flood in Missoula. Even on a more routine basis, the scour of those toxic sediments that would still be upstream of Missoula and deposition of those sediments in the areas that are now flooding. So, the folks in Orchard homes would have both flood waters to deal with and toxic sediments in their yards."
Meanwhile, downstream in Frenchtown, local and federal contractors are watching a 2-mile earthen berm sitting between the raging Clark Fork and the closed Smurfit-Stone pulp and paper mill.
That berm is supposed to protect unlined toxic waste dumps in the river's historic flood plain, but it is not engineered to modern specifications.
DeArment toured the site Monday.
The Clark Fork Coalition ultimately wants to see the defunct plant's waste cleaned up.
Local and state officials are asking the EPA to grant Superfund status for the site.
The Clark Fork River above Missoula today receded by over two feet from Friday night's high of 13.82 feet; its highest crest since 1908. But that doesn't mean the worst of the flooding is behind us.
"Even though the rivers have gone down now, lets not be complacent cause they're going to be headed right back up Thursday through Saturday," says National Weather Service Meteorologist Bob Nester.
The Clark Fork River at Missoula has reached major flood stage at 13 feet. This is exacerbating longstanding concerns over environmental contamination at the Smurfit-Stone Mill, and putting homeless people camped near the river at risk.
The flooding Clark Fork River at Missoula is forecast to hit just over 14 feet by tomorrow afternoon. It's then expected to settle down - but not for long.
Fourteen feet is territory not seen on the Clark Fork in over 40 years. The raging river has already prompted mandatory evacuations for about 60 homes.

Trump would 'prefer not' to fire Rosenstein
(26 Sep 2018) U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he would "certainly prefer not" to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and that he may delay a highly anticipated meeting with the Justice Department's No. 2 official. Trump said Rosenstein denied making remarks first attributed to him in a New York Times report, including that he had discussed possibly secretly recording the president and using the Constitution's 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. "I would much prefer keeping Rod Rosenstein," Trump said at a news conference in New York. "He said he did not say it. He said he does not believe that. He said he has a lot of respect for me, and he was very nice and we'll see." Trump added, "My preference would be to keep him and to let him finish up." Rosenstein is overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and his dismissal would put that probe in jeopardy and create a political storm. In suggesting that he might postpone Thursday's meeting, Trump said he was focused on the extraordinary Senate Judiciary Committee hearing set for the same day with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and a woman who has accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault when they were teenagers.

MYTHS & FACTS ABOUT HEAD LICE
EFFECTIVE LICE TREATMENT
Head Lice Removal is No Match for Science & Medicine
March 26, 2017 /0 Comments/in Head Lice /by lcaadmin
It has become well known in the medical community that the most popular over-the-counter (OTC) head-lice removal treatment products are mostly ineffective. This is a response to head lice in the United States and other countries developing a genetic resistance to the chemicals—pesticides—the lice products use.
Head Lice Resistant to Treatments Containing Pyrethroids
In the latest published research, released in the Journal of Medical Entomology in 2016, 98 percent of head lice in at least 42 states were found to have gene mutations that enable them to resist pyrethroids, the class of pesticides used by OTC lice products.
"There is nothing unique about lice becoming resistant to the pyrethroids," John Clark, a professor of environmental toxicology and chemistry at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, told the website Live Science. "We have over 300 different insects that have become resistant to the pyrethroids, and many of those insects became resistant by acquiring these mutations exactly as the head louse has done."
Clark and team studied samples of head lice from around the United States after hearing reports that people were having trouble ridding children of lice and lice eggs using OTC products.
Sciences vs. Head Lice
While Clark and other researchers are studying pyrethroid-resistant head lice; others are looking for new ways to fight the pests. A team of biologists at the University of Utah studying bird lice found it difficult to keep the insects alive in the arid desert climate. When one of the researchers' children came home with head lice, the professor found that the OTC lice treatments didn't work. The team believed that if they could recreate the arid conditions that killed lice in the lab, they could create a new kind of lice treatment product.
After a decade of research, the AirAllé medical device was born. The AirAllé device works by applying carefully controlled warm air using a specially designed applicator to dehydrate lice and eggs. It has been clinically proven to kill live lice and 99.2 percent of eggs in a single treatment of about 90 minutes. There are no chemicals used, so it is equally effective against pyrethroid-resistant lice as it is against non-resistant lice.
Clinical trial results were published in the medical journal Pediatrics in 2006, and updated and confirmed in the Journal of Medical Entomology in 2011, and the device was cleared by the FDA as a safe and effective treatment for head-lice.
The AirAllé device delivers warm air at just the right temperature to just the right location for just the right amount of time to kill lice and eggs. A microprocessor controls the air temperature and flow, and a certified technician moves the applicator to deliver the air to the hair and scalp.
AirAllé treatment is now available through Lice Clinics of America professional treatment centers where treatments are guaranteed to be effective. The response to the availability of safe, fast, chemical-free, and guaranteed lice removal has been swift and dramatic.

I do outdoor shots ONLY at this time.
At this time I am offering a SPECIAL on Weddings as I am a freelance photographer and new to things I have yet to photograph a wedding and would LOVE the opportunity! I am willing to do a wedding for ONLY 50.00! The 50.00 is only for my time and the cost of the CD and editing you get. This is a HUGE deal for anyone as I've seen some photographers charging in the thousands for wedding photos!
I don't like to limit myself to what "kind" of pictures or shoots to do, so if you have an idea of a venue or something you want done just let me know!
I don't feel that anyone should have to take out a loan to capture a memory!!! You will NEVER go broke with me as your photographer and I will do my best to make sure each picture I take is a treasure to keep forever!!
I will take probably about 200-300 pictures on the day of our shoot (give or take a few) and you will get ALL of your pictures which includes the originals AND enhancements on a CD that is yours to keep! This way you don't have a lot of prints of one or two pictures and a dozen more you just LOVE but can't afford to pay the cost some photographers will charge for them!
On the day of the shoot 1/2 of the payment is due and when you pick up your CD the rest is due. While I am working on your editing I will email you a few sample pictures. If you decide you do not want to purchase the CD that is fine, you owe nothing more and we go our separate ways. However if you like what you see you will owe the other half of the total due at the time you pick up your CD.

ODE TO OLD FIELD LIGHT
BY LIGHT KEEPER JOHN
"A seaside matriarch attired in granite and crowned with iron. An elderly granite lady who watches over the Sound with her flashing eye of red and green.The presence of lightkeepers past is most evident here….the man who wore his brass-buttoned uniform with pride….the man who once tended the old Fresnel lens as though it were the rarest of jewels. Through nights of moonlight and nights of thundering skies this lady of granite with her flashing eye has saved both ships and souls. With her flashing light she'd call to the sailors and ships 'TAKE CARE! TAKE CARE! STEER CLEAR…THE HARBOR IS NEAR!' For decades she sat, deemed outmoded and old, her flashing eye shut, her soul in slumber. A new light nearby upon a tower of steel now flashed to the boats on the Sound, but it was only a tower of iron….no heart and no soul. Many years went by and again the "Granite Lady of the Sound" was once more the granite guardian of Old Field Point….her red and green eye a most welcome sight on a storm-tossed night!!"

Digital wallets help you go everywhere your customers go
Your customers' expectations are changing as digital innovations transform the path to purchase. Google and J.P. Morgan share timely insights into the future of shopping and how digital wallets are changing the way your customers expect to connect, interact and transact.
The e-commerce market continues to grow at breakneck speed. Online sales revenue in the U.S. topped $1 trillion in 2020 for the first time and the market is still growing at more than 10 percent per year1. This growth goes hand in hand with another rising trend – the convergence of physical and digital shopping experiences. Consumers now expect the best of both worlds and this need is increasingly being met through digital wallets.
Download Digital wallets: Go everywhere your customers go
Here are five ways digital wallets are changing customers' expectations for speed, convenience and value.
Anytime, anyplace payments
We live in an on-demand world. We expect to be able to research at whatever time we want online, approve an invoice as soon as it arrives via email and even get a pizza delivered via our smartphone at midnight. Most of us keep our phones with us at all times, and with a digital wallet, our cards and banking details are with us too.
Personalized customer journeys
In a competitive sales market, being able to offer a payment journey that feels personalized to the needs and interests of the customer can be a key differentiator. This means more functionality to foster peer-to-peer payments, or to help people split meals with friends or bills with roommates.
Integrated loyalty
Everybody loves a deal, and digital wallets allow loyalty programs such as air miles and store loyalty programs to be seamlessly integrated. Google Pay works with brands such as Burger King, Panera, Etsy, Warby Parker and many others to provide deals and discounts that are accessible via the digital wallet.
Integrated banking
Some payment apps, like Venmo and Google Pay, can integrate P2P payments. This enables a user to split a restaurant or rideshare bill between friends and choose whether their share is drawn directly from their bank account or a debit or credit card.
Invisible payments
Chances are you have already made this type of payment. Think of Uber, or a subscription wine or beer service, where the payments take place instantly and automatically, without the need for repeated authorizations. The checkout is disappearing into the background of each transaction—customers want to be able to shop securely, seamlessly, and with a minimum of interactions.
Connect with your J.P. Morgan representative to find the right
digital wallet solution for your business.

Neurodegeneration and identity
Nina Strohminger, Shaun B Nichols
There is a widespread notion, both within the sciences and among the general public, that mental deterioration can rob individuals of their identity. Yet there have been no systematic investigations of what types of cognitive damage lead people to appear to no longer be themselves. We measured perceived identity change in patients with three kinds of neurodegenerative disease: frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Structural equation models revealed that injury to the moral faculty plays the primary role in identity discontinuity. Other cognitive deficits, including amnesia, have no measurable impact on identity persistence. Accordingly, frontotemporal dementia has the greatest effect on perceived identity, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis has the least. We further demonstrated that perceived identity change fully mediates the impact of neurodegenerative disease on relationship deterioration between patient and caregiver. Our results mark a departure from theories that ground personal identity in memory, distinctiveness, dispositional emotion, or global mental function.

Charlottesville Victim's Mom to White Supremacists: 'You Just Magnified Her'
"By golly, if I gotta give her up, we're going to make it count," said Susan Bro, mother of slain protestor Heather Heyer, during poignant ceremony
WATCH: Full remarks from Susan Bro, mother of Charlottesville car attack victim Heather Heyer https://t.co/m3gkZDF6Ks
— NBC News (@NBCNews) August 16, 2017
During a ceremony on Wednesday honoring Heather Heyer – the 32-year-old who was killed Saturday after being struck by a car during a counter-protest against white nationalists in Charlottesville, Virginia – the victim's mother, Susan Bro, delivered a poignant speech about her daughter's conviction for battling injustice.
"I think the reason that what happened to Heather has struck a chord is because we know that what she did is achievable," Bro said. "We don't all have to die. We don't all have to sacrifice our lives. They tried to kill my child to shut her up. Well, guess what? You just magnified her."
Over seven minutes, Bro alternated between wistful remembrances (Heyer's many dinner table debates) and passionate pleas to carry her daughter's legacy for social justice forward. "My child's famous Facebook post was, 'If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention,'" she said. "[Heyer] paid attention. She made a lot of us pay attention.

"Here's what I want to happen," she continued. "You ask me, 'What can I do?' So many people … I want this to spread. I don't want this to die. This is just the beginning of Heather's legacy – this is not the end of Heather's legacy. You need to find in your heart that small spark of accountability. 'What is there I can do to make the world a better place? What injustice do I see?' … You poke that finger at yourself like Heather would have done. You take that extra step. You find a way to make a difference in the world."
Bro concluded by emphasizing the power of respectful "conversations" – of finding ways to disagree without hatred or violence. "Find what's wrong. Don't ignore it, don't look the other way," she said. "You make a point to look at it and say to yourself, 'What can I do to make a difference?' And that's how you're going to make my child's death worthwhile. I'd rather have my child, but by golly, if I gotta give her up, we're going to make it count."
On Monday, one day after Heyer's death, NBC News tweeted a statement from Bro thanking President Trump for "denouncing those who promote violence and hatred." But she changed her tone in an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press, saying, "I was so tired I don't remember saying something nice or derogatory about him."
After initially casting blame for the violence in Virginia on "both sides" (the white supremacists and counter-protestors), Trump has twice shifted his response. On Monday, the president condemned the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis, but the following day he reverted to the "blame on both sides" argument, even criticizing members of the "alt-left."
Mark Heyer, Heather's father, recently told Florida Today that he's forgiven James Alex Fields Jr., the alleged driver of the car which crashed into the crowd of protestors, ultimately killing his daughter. (Fields has been charged with one count of second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and one count of hit-and-run.)
"People need to stop hating, and they need to forgive each other," Mark Heyer said. "And I include myself in that, in forgiving the guy that did this. He doesn't know no better. You know, I just think of what the Lord said on the cross. Lord forgive him, they don't know what they're doing."
Watch below: Protest – with people waving Confederate flags, chanting Nazi-era slogans – turned violent, prompting Virginia governor to declare state of emergency.

BEST EXCUSES FOR NOT DOING HOMEWORK!


It looks like the Turkish mother has to be available constantly. 'Anne' she is called, like our 'Mummy'. Or, more often heard, 'Anneeeee!' The word comes through my open window all day long in the small apartment that I rent in a somewhat shabby neighbourhood. From early in the morning till rather late at night. Anneeee, anneeee, anneeeee! Three times. Or ten times, or twenty. Anne seldom answers the call of her offspring immediately. Anne lets them shout endlessly as she is working in the house.
I wonder if Dutch children scream 'Mama mama mamaaaa' all the time, but I don't think so. Are small Turks such wimps that they can't handle even a minute without mummy? Is Anne giving them so little of her attention that they have to scream to be heard? Is the Dutch mama so afraid of neglecting her children that she always immediately reacts to the first 'Mama'? Or is this just showing the difference between Dutch home life and Turkish outdoor life and does this outdoor life just make nagging more visible?
I imagine the life of the average mummy in this neighbourhood. She's not rich – in general she lives in a beautiful but very old and dilapidated wooden house. Through the barred windows I see her beating her carpets, I smell the food she's preparing in her kitchen, I hear her sweep the staircase and see her hang the laundry on a line in front of the house. And when she has a break, she talks with other Annes on the small front staircase., In short, unlike the average Dutch mama, Anne is practically always there. Maybe, I conclude, that's why she usually doesn't immediately react to the first 'Anneeee'. Being physically there is one thing, always willing to be available is no doubt something totally different.
i love the country, and after reading your blog, it seems that i will also love (to learn) the culture even deeper.

Functional movement is my favourite movement. We can choose to take on many different beautiful shapes and postures, but I encourage you to ask why you are choosing these shapes.

Mary Maragret Speer, geboren als Mary Margaret Taylor (* 27. März 1906 in Midway, Pennsylvania; † 23. November 1966 in Pittsburgh) war eine US-amerikanische Mathematikerin und Hochschullehrerin.

Leben
Speer wurde als Mary Margaret Taylor als das dritte von vier Kindern geboren und besuchte von 1918 bis 1921 die High School in Midway. Im folgenden Jahr besuchte sie die Carnegie High School am Stadtrand von Pittsburgh und wurde mit einem vierjährigen College-Stipendium ausgezeichnet, das jährlich auf der Grundlage einer Auswahlprüfung vom Washington County vergeben wurde. Von 1922 bis 1926 studierte sie Mathematik und Latein an der University of Pittsburgh. Nach ihrem ausgezeichneten Bachelor-Abschluss 1926 wurde sie in die Ehrengesellschaft Sigma Kappa Phi und die Ehrengesellschaft für Frauenwissenschaft in Pittsburgh gewählt. Von 1926 bis 1930 war sie Lehrassistentin an der University of Pittsburgh, erwarb 1928 ihren Master-Abschluss und studierte im Sommer 1928 gleichzeitig an der University of Chicago. Von 1930 bis 1934 war sie Dozentin für Mathematik an der Universität von Pittsburgh. Sie promovierte 1935 mit der Dissertation: Reciprocals of Certain Curves and Surfaces with Respect to a Space Cubic Curve. 1935 heiratete sie den Mathematiker und Anwalt Eugene R. Speer (1903–1978), mit dem sie drei Kinder bekam, die ebenfalls alle Mathematik studierten. Sie unterrichtete bis 1937 als Assistentin, bis 1938 und von 1942 bis 1943 als Ausbilderin in Mathematik an der Universität von Pittsburgh. Sie verließ die Universität von Pittsburgh, weil ihr gesagt wurde, dass Männer ihre Familien unterstützen müssten und das Geld benötigten. Sie war zeitlebens eine engagierte Presbyterianerin und aktives Mitglied und Administratorin der Pfadfinderinnen von Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.  Sie starb 1966 im Alter von 60 Jahren in Pittsburgh an Krebs.

Citizen Journalism: Walking the City of Firsts
At last year's Manchester Christmas Market's, the Buzzin app provided fun and games alongside information for visitors to the markets about key locations such as toilets, public transport and cash machines.
The latest feature on Buzzin is its City of Firsts walking tour. It focuses on showcasing the innovative history of Manchester, and the tour has a virtual map that boasts animated plaques that represent key locations on the tour and create an interactive way of learning.
The map shows your current location so you know if you're approaching one of the points of interest. Once you get closer to the plaque you see yourself moving on the map towards your desired plaque, and then when you click on the numbered icon it will open your camera – allowing you to scan the plaque and summon what I can only describe as a lovely virtual tour guide!
Even the City of First plaques on the buildings are a direct representation of the mission to turn Manchester into a smarter city. These plaques are made up purely of recycled materials. And it doesn't stop there: even the recycled materials were chosen with purpose, using recycled CDs and DVDs to make up the hexagonal plaques – a nod to Manchester's famous music scene.
Walking through history
I began the tour at Manchester's Central Library. As an English graduate, to say I love books would be an understatement: I love borrowing books from local libraries and seeing who previously had the book before me, feeling wowed when I see dates going back to the 1950s and '60s. Upon scanning the plaque at the Central Library, my virtual tour guide taught me that the first book loaned out here was in fact in 1852. Incredible!
The majority of the points of interests come in clusters and are within close proximity of one another, so your curiosity isn't swapped for boredom when seeking the next plaque.
The route took me down Oxford Road, where several of the interactive CityVerve 'plinths' can also be found scattered around city. These plinths use augmented reality to display animated visuals and info cards on your smartphone screen and provide a mini learning lesson.
A detour to visit The Manchester Plinth
Before continuing with the City of Firsts tour I stopped off one of the plinths in All Saints Park, where I used my smartphone to display one of the 'hidden artefacts' from MMU's Special Collections.
The integration of the plinth in All Saints Park is a great starting point for those who maybe aren't familiar with the City of Firsts tour, or who perhaps just want to find out a little snippet about Manchester whilst strolling past. The All Saints plinth proved to be of great interest as there were a few students scanning it whilst I was there too!
Soon enough, though, I was back on track with the City of Firsts tour and hunting down the bright green plaques.
I ventured further down Oxford Road, following the app's directions, and saw there were a cluster of plaques located within the University of Manchester campus The buildings in this area were home to some incredible 'firsts'.
The Buzzin app educated me on Alan Turing (who wrote the first academic paper in which he developed the idea of artificial intelligence) and led me just down the road where I was told via my augmented reality tour guide of Ernest Rutherford's first splitting of the atom at The University of Manchester in 1917.
Being stood in this innovation district and finding out more about the individuals who contributed so greatly to the progression and development of science and technology intensified my excitement for the CityVerve project as it's making history itself!
Women's health and women's votes
From here, I moved on in the direction towards Manchester's Royal Infirmary. The plaques on the map turn from their green and blue colour to a dull grey as you reach them, so that you can keep track of progress. The Pankhurst Centre is just off Oxford Road and was the next stop on my City of Firsts tour (you can visit the plaques in any order, as you wish).
At the Royal Infirmary I learned of a couple of big firsts related to our National Health Service. Not only was Manchester the birthplace of the cherished NHS, but it was home to the first ever test tube baby and the development of the first contraceptive pill – playing a vital role in shaping modern attitudes to healthcare.
Pankhurst House is located right next to Manchester Royal Infirmary, and this is where the Buzzin app took me to next.
This year marks exactly one hundred years since the beginning of female suffrage in the UK. Emmeline Pankhurst, the leader of the Suffragette movement, held the first meeting of the Women's Social and Political Union in Manchester – at 62 Nelson Street, the exact location this meeting took place, and more commonly referred to as the birthplace of the Suffragette movement.
One of the final markers on my tour was Citylabs 1.0. This is the first smart building in Manchester and my virtual tour guide informed me that everything in the building is connected, and that the building can adapt its own environment based on factors such as the current temperature and how many occupants are in the building at that time.
The sensors in Citylabs 1.0 were deployed when CityVerve's smart city initiative came into action and although a more recent 'first', it holds great importance enabling a more sustainable and greener city for Manchester.
Lots to learn
I haven't mentioned every plaque I visited here, as that would have taken far too long (there is so much to learn!) -but some of them include the world's first stored-program computer, smart street lamps and the pioneering work of Marie Stopes.
Buzzin has a way of encouraging the user to learn through its augmented reality interface. Its a versatile app which is consistently considering the needs of the people of Manchester.
The City of Firsts tour demonstrates all the innovation that has emerged from Manchester, the 'firsts' that are featured show a great variation from science and technology to women's rights and libraries.
Buzzin holds an integral role in CityVerve's mission to transform Manchester into a smart city. History is the making of us, and getting a taste of history in such a new and innovative way makes it fun to learn. Buzzin is making history itself by providing such a revolutionary learning platform.
The app is extremely accessible and can be downloaded from both the App Store and the Google Play store.

Greenbox Self Storage was looking to distinguish itself from the self-storage industry by providing new, modern, secure, state-of-the-art, and environmentally friendly self-storage space in core urban neighborhoods. The most important thing about the look was that it felt as clean and modern as the designs for the buildings.
There are currently six Greenbox Self Storage facilities either in operation or under construction. It has been amazing watching them pop up all over Denver, and a thrill to be a part of.


PHILADELPHIA -- No scientific experiment -- except, perhaps, the detonation of the first atomic bomb -- is more familiar to the public than Benjamin Franklin's legendary kite experiment.
As famously depicted by numerous artists, Franklin and a boy fly a kite in a field during a terrible thunderstorm. Lightning strikes the kite and an arc of electricity flies from a key on the kite string to Franklin's finger.
Eureka! Ben Franklin "discovers" electricity.
But as next month's 250th anniversary of the experiment approaches, questions remain whether it was a true scientific advance, a meaningless stunt, or historical hogwash.
Simplistic portraits of the experiment may underlie doubts about its reality and importance, said Claude-Anne Lopez, author of several books on Franklin. For instance, a lightning strike would have killed or seriously injured both Franklin and the boy. And the individual depicted as a small boy actually was Franklin's 21-year-old son, William.
"Franklin was an amazing individual," Lopez said. "Statesman, philosopher, author, bon vivant, newspaper publisher, revolutionary, businessman, a kid who was taken out of school at age 10, ran away from home, and learned everything he knew from reading. Maybe the idea that he also was brilliant scientist just strains the limits of belief."
"The kite experiment was quite real," said H. W. Brands Jr., a historian at Texas A&M University and author of "The First American: The Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin."
"Historians of science today still consider his work among the most significant of the 18th century. For this experiment, and related work, he received the era's equivalent of the Nobel Prize, and was hailed as one of the great scientists of the age."
However, the experiment did not make Franklin the discoverer of electricity.
The ancient Greeks knew about electricity. Thales of Miletus, who died around 546 B.C., discovered that static electricity could be made by rubbing amber with wool. The word "electron" originated in a Greek word for amber.
Scientists in Europe experimented with electricity long before Franklin.
Biographers say Franklin became interested in one of the era's greatest mysteries -- the nature of electricity -- in 1746 after reading about experiments done in Europe.
In Franklin's day, scientists were struggling to understand basic principles of electricity, such as attraction and repulsion. Franklin did coin today's terms for the types of attraction -- positive and negative. He introduced other common electrical terms such as "battery," "plus" (for positive charges), "minus" (for negative charges), "electrician," "electrified," and "charge."
Franklin turned his Market Street home in Philadelphia into an electrical laboratory, using jerry-built instruments made from household items. He brought electricity into the house dangerously -- via a wire leading from an iron rod attached to the chimney.
"On the staircase opposite my chamber door, the wire was divided, the ends separated about 6 inches, a little bell on each end," Franklin wrote in one letter to friend and fellow inventor Peter Collinson in London.
Franklin's famous electric bells signaled when electricity was in the atmosphere and available for use in his experiments. Sometimes the bells chimed softly when small sparks jumped between the wires. Sometimes they rang. Franklin described huge arcs of electricity, as thick as his index finger, which lit up the staircase like bright sunlight.
The gadgets terrified Franklin's wife, Deborah, who wanted to disconnect the electric bells.
One experiment was nearly fatal.
While trying to kill a turkey by electrocution, Franklin accidentally shocked himself. He blamed the mistake on boisterous house guests, gathered to view the spectacle, who distracted him. The shock threw Franklin to the floor, where he flopped in convulsions.
"In the beginning, electricity was a game, a parlor trick," Lopez explained. "They had traveling electricians who amused people with demonstrations. Franklin moved beyond that, and began building a hypothesis that lightning is electricity, and then developed an experiment to test the hypothesis."
Franklin observed similarities between lightning and the stuff in the parlor tricks.
Both lightning and electricity looked like light, appeared in forked arcs, crackled, and could kill animals. He described the experiment to prove that electricity and lightning were one in the same -- the electric kite experiment -- in a letter to Collinson.
Collinson published the letter in 1751, and European scientists were quick to try the experiment. At least one was electrocuted before a French scientist named Thomas-Francois D'Alibard succeeded in Marly, France, in May 1752. Scientists in England and Belgium also did the experiment before Franklin.
News was slow to reach the New World in those days, and Franklin probably was unaware that others had beaten him to the punch, according to Lopez.
Franklin planned to test his ideas about lightning not from a kite, but from the steeple of Christ Church, which then was under construction in Philadelphia.
By spring of 1752, the steeple was still unfinished, and Franklin, growing inpatient, decided to use the kite. The experiment took place sometime in June 1752, with the exact date never recorded.
Franklin and his son, William, were the only witnesses. Everything known about the actual experiment appeared in an account published 15 years later by Franklin's friend Joseph Priestley, the British chemist who discovered oxygen. Franklin read the account before Priestley published it.
It was the classic "never-try-this-at-home" experiment. Ben and his son escaped with their lives because lightning never actually struck the kite. Rather, it encountered small amounts of electricity collecting in the storm clouds.
The kite carried a wire intended to attract electricity and channel it down the string to a metal key. By some accounts, Franklin touched the key when he saw threads on the string stand on end, signaling the presence of electricity. A spark jumped to his finger, proving that lightning and electricity were one and the same.
Franklin's discovery that lightning was a huge electrical spark had immediate practical and scientific impacts.
"He went from an idea, to proving the idea with an experiment, to applying the experimental results in designing a lightning rod to protect property," Lopez noted.
The lightning rod consisted of an iron rod attached to the top of a building, connected to a wire that carried lightning strikes harmlessly into the ground. Franklin's lightning rods sprouted in Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and all over Paris and London.
King George III, who despised Franklin's anti-British politics, was furious. The king ordered his science adviser to denounce Franklin's design as faulty. The adviser refused, declaring that even a king couldn't change the laws of science. George fired him on the spot.
Franklin's work also encouraged other scientists.
Italian physician Luigi Galvani, for instance, had fashioned a crude battery made from metal placed in fluids from a frog's body. Dissected frogs twitched when connected to the battery. Galvani though it was due to "animal electricity," a special force found only in living things.
After reading about Franklin's experiment, Galvani took dissected frog legs outside during an electrical storm and found that they also twitched. It led other scientists, including Alessandro Volta, to show that muscles contracted not because of "animal electricity" but because of the same electricity as in Franklin's electric kite.

Long-established hotel with more than 900 rooms in Nakanoshima,the town of greenery trees and water. The main lounge with the waterfall and a gorgeous chandelier. Gourmet Boutique Melissa is one of the popular spots.


This summer, four UVA undergraduates (Civil engineer Matt Smith, French & International Relations major Max Barab, Global Development Studies major Alice Burgess, and Environmental Science major Anna Wallace) are on a mission to learn how to make ceramic filters that purify contaminated water using colloidal silver (an ongoing UVA research effort for the past six years under Civil Engineering professor Jim Smith) and to build another open-air filter factory in a village named Hammanskraal, based on a pre-existing factory in a village named Ha-Mashamba.
After an 18 hour plane ride and many hours on the crazy roads — donkeys, goats, cattle, huge potholes, hitchhikers, and getting used to the left side — we arrived at our home in the Limpopo Province. We spent these three weeks learning how to make the ceramic filters (some with a colloidal silver wash) at the Mukondeni filter factory is at the same site as the Mukondeni Pottery Cooperative. Actually, the filters aren't the main "output", and instead the focus is on making and selling different sized urns, jugs, and bowls — all handmade, very detailed, and with a varying designs based on each potter's signature style. While we say "filter factory", we do not mean a big industrial complex, and instead are referring to the open-air, tin-roof, dirt-ground space where the clay gets mixed, pressed, and dries out before the kiln.
The potters who make both the filters and their own pottery are our teachers, mentors, and friends. They wear patterned African skirts and wraps, but many have American tee-shirts (brands like Adidas and Hanes) and wear sandals or wellies. They smile lots and they teach us new Venda words each day. They are very patient with our crap pronunciation!
Boas was our community partner in Mashamba — he is a kind young man who has superb English and who is in charge of the filter factory in Ha-Mashamba. We first met him back in February, when we took him out for soup to warm him up during his Virginia visit!
We were lucky to spend a day at the University of Venda, where we met some other undergraduate students who are from a range of American universities working on similar projects in the villages of Limpopo, ranging from diabetes and hypertension to medical pluralism. We also got to meet some of the UniVen graduate mentors, who are getting their PhD's and masters in engineering and microbiology. It was very cool to see what a South African university was like, and it sounds like the student life at most universities across the globe are quite similar… dancing, arts, sports, cafeteria food, lots of studying, a nice barbecue, and imbibing spirits for unwinding! The UniVen faculty kindly are helping us to test the filters using the membrane filtration method.
One of the coolest experiences was when we got to meet the chief of the village, Chief Mashamba. A very handsome high school teacher escorted us to the Chief's home overlooking the village, and we all knelt on the ground and clasped our hands together next to our knees when Chief Mashamba approached. The teacher translated the Chief's warm welcome to us — "this friendship between UVA and the village bears good fruits"; "we like to benefit from your great ideas, Prof". The Chief jokingly expressed interest in traveling to America, as Boas did this past February. I still cannot believe their first ever flight was 15 hours across the Atlantic! Professor Smith presented the Chief with a photo that the team last year took with him, which he seemed to like very much! People here love photographs of themselves, as they do not have mirrors, let alone cameras or printers. The Chief told us that 80% of the residents of the village are unemployed, and that the pottery cooperative and a few government social grants are the only sources of income for the people of Mashamba — thus, they are overjoyed for the big filter orders that have started coming in.
We also got to meet Chief Lucas, who was much less formal than Chief Mashamba. Chief Lucas visited UVA for Pure Madi 3 in February 2014, and he seems incredibly committed to every house in his village having access to safe and clean water. He had rented a big flat bed truck to load up about 160 filters and bring them back to his village, thus creating more storage space within the Mukondeni Factory. This means the potters can start back up, "full speed ahead", with the filter production.
As for practical matters, we wore long skirts, trousers, and tee-shirts — anything less would be culturally inappropriate but anything more would be boiling. All the South Africans wear long sleeves and wooly hats — they think it's freezing despite the fact it's normally a sunny high-70/low-80 by 2pm! The mornings were chilly but warmed up fast.
The last day at the factory was a cultural experience indeed — we bought the potters bottles of soda, 4 live white chickens, and 12.5 kg of pap as a "thank you" gift! The chickens got their throats cut off on site, and about 3 hours later, we were munching on perhaps the freshest bird we have ever consumed! Leaving the factory was so sad, but after many "roh-le-voo-ah"s and "kabisari"s (so long's and thank you's) we said goodbye!
Our time working in Mashamba flew by! In Mashamba, were able to successfully mix and press two different batches of filters with silver mixed in (saving time and money, since it hopefully will not have to be painted on later on in the process). One batch had more silver than the other, plus some additional sawdust got added along the way to compensate for the recent issue with many of the filters failing the flow rate test (adding sawdust increases the space between the silver nanopatches in the filter). The bad news was that had to leave before all these filters could be fired in the kiln and tested in the labs for total coliform and other contaminants at the University of Venda. Luckily our graduate student mentor, Katie, agreed to help us out with this.
We were shocked at just how many steps there are in making filters — before we arrived in Limpopo, we assumed you chucked some dirt and dust into a mixer, put that into molds, fired them, and that was that! We never realized just how labor intensive it is to make a filter… kneading, drying, testing, drilling, wrapping, painting, firing, smoothing, carrying, packaging, etc. A whole arsenal of potters are required to make filters. That being said, we now know how valuable the filters truly are. Alice had quite an upset stomach our first few days here from drinking from the tap, but as soon as we purchased a filter from the factory and used it in our own kitchen, she felt like "a million bucks" again. The water the filter gives us is clean, pure, and safe — such a simple technology with such great results.
Our first day, as soon as we clambered out of the car, we were enveloped in hugs from Grace and Paulina, a pair of sisters who are about 70 years old, who are wise Go-Go's who are in charge of this community filter project. They call us "darling" and sit next to us each day, threading seed bead bracelets, and offering high fives with each completed step.
During this first week, we met with Zain, our new community partner, who got the ball rolling straight away. He has the best South African voice, and makes us laugh when he says things like 'are you smoking your socks?' and 'these American kiddos are the happy helpers'. Zain interviewed some local builders, and chose Steve the builder, who charged a reasonable price for the office construction and had the best diagram of the space. A few hours later, we white kids were sweating buckets, attacking firm ground with picks and shovels.
Jack (Grace's son's best friend) has helped us so much with the construction, and together, Jack and Steve are an unstoppable team, making us students look so weak and slow. The zealous Pastor of the local church also volunteered to dig out the foundation of the office, alongside Jack's friend Richard. They are patient with us, and seem excited at the prospect of having a filter factory that can employ them and their friends who are without work. As of now, the foundation has been dug — 2 ft wide and ½ meter deep for the 6×12 meter square– and filled in with a mix of cement, sand, and stone. Next week, we will lay the bricks, buy the windows and doors for the office, and install the bore hole.
We are learning so much, and thus far, our trip has been eye-opening, thought-provoking, and culturally fascinating. We have made great friends along the way, including our own teammates, and cannot wait to spend another month in South Africa. Thank you, CGH, for this wonderful opportunity.
