Report: New Apple TV to be unveiled in September, but without expected TV subscription service
- Jul. 30th 2015 1:59 pm PT
According to a new report from BuzzFeed News, Apple is currently planning to unveil its refreshed Apple TV in September. The company had originally planned to unveil the device at WWDC this summer, but scrapped it from the event at the last minute. A September unveil has seemingly been expected since the announcement was pulled from WWDC.
The report goes on to corroborate much of what we reported earlier this year. The refreshed Apple TV is expected to be slimmer than the current-generation device and will feature Apple's new A8 chip. The device will also feature a new remote with a touchpad, as we reported earlier this year. On the software side of things, the device will feature a refreshed interface with support for the long-awaited App Store.
The new Apple TV will support Apple Music, as well. Earlier this year it was reported that the company was also planning to launch a web TV service this fall, but BuzzFeed's report today claims that Apple is not yet ready to unveil the streaming TV service alongside the new Apple TV and will most likely push it until 2016. The Apple TV is also expected to gain Siri voice search support in its update this fall, as well as more on-board storage.
It was reported in the past that the device will not feature support for 4k content, as Apple feels there is not a large enough market for the feature at this time.
Apple TV is Apple's streaming device that accesses the Apple TV+ service ($4.99 per month), Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Amazon Prime, and countless other entertainment apps.

Since when is BuzzFeed a credible source for news?
AirDJ31 - 8 years ago
Was thinking the same thing. Wished we could upgrade other Apple products like we normally do with phones because I'd rather upgrade my Apple TV this September than my 5S.

Apple seems to give BuzzFeed access to information and sneak peeks these days…
mariobros27772 - 8 years ago
Last I remember hearing is that the head of Buzzfeed has a friend who is an insider at Apple. I believe there have been a few credible leaks from them.

They better open the damn thing up to developers and let us pick and choose which "channels" we want from an App Store
Patrick Pierce - 8 years ago
You already can. You can go into settings and choose which channels you want displayed.
incredibilistic - 8 years ago
You can also hold down the selection button (in the middle) and wait for the icons to jiggle then press the play/pause button for additional options. From there you'll see an option to hide the app. That doesn't mean they couldn't make the process easier or provide better organization like folders.
I could kinda care less about the home screen, I'd rather see channels adopt their own look and feel rather than all sporting the exact same look.
I think you missed the point of what I was actually requesting…..
Inaba-kun (@Inaba_kun) - 8 years ago
Let's hope so. The current ATV is a joke outside America.
If it really does have a proper app store it should mean that at last in the UK we'll see the likes of BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime, MUBI, 4OD, Animax, Spotify, and many others which have long been missing from the ATV.

Yeah … sure, September.

What's the point of a new Apple TV, if no 4K (when there already is a 5K iMac for a year) and no TV streaming? Slimmer? This one's small enough; the weight of the attached cables already makes it topple behind the furniture quite stupidly. More powerfull chip? For what if it's not to handle 4K or Streaming TV? Siri? Great! Now try imagine Mum, Dad, and 3 teens and/or kids each screaming at the device to get access to their favorite channel/game…? Much more fun than fighting for _one_ remote. And what about a Facetime camera then? Touch enabled remote? Already available on the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Dedicated App Store? Why now (and not 3 years ago) and why new hardware for that? Instead make the f..ng iTunes server independant from a dedicated Mac. On a NAS that is, better with an USB connection. Or something. I hate having to have an iMac running somewhere in the house to watch my movies. Which will stop running right at the climax because of a glitch in the WiFi connection… For what is announced here, I really don't see the point. This being said, there might be something else, something really new and surprising that no one have thought of yet. Naaah, not from Apple. Not anymore.
PMZanetti - 8 years ago
There is a laundry list of improvements needed on AppleTV that have nothing to do with 4K content (which no one cares about anyway).
Mathias Kappeler (@MathiasMK84) - 8 years ago
No one cares about what? Ever heard of Netflix and the great House of Cards series? I would love to use the Netflix App on AppleTV instead of some crappy App on my TV itself. Navigating with ATV is much nicer.
That is because you never stood in front of a 4K TV set displaying 4K content. You'll have to collect your jaws scattered around the floor. Anyway… Same was written about B/W vs color, DVD vs VHS, BluRay vs DVD, etc,… And I'm not even talking about video. Just for the gorgeous pictures you're taking with your iPhone (which currently is just shy of 4K) it would justify it.
And who exactly are you to say that because _YOU_ don't care about it, no one cares about it? Are you God or something? I'd like to know…
J.latham - 8 years ago
I would imagine that as long as the hardware can handle 4k, content is just a software update away, no? Maybe I'm wrong on that, but I could see even if its capable of it in the future not switching everything to support it just yet. Maybe that's just me…

"The refreshed Apple TV is expected to be slimmer than the current-generation device and will feature Apple's new A8 chip."
The A8 is not new.
flaviosuave - 8 years ago
Ugh, this comment was like 17 hours ago. Soooo OLD!
o0smoothies0o - 8 years ago
I agree, the A8, is not new. This thing should have at least an A9, if not A9X for gaming. Not to mention it's going to be pretty stupid to introduce the new iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus with new A9 chips, followed by the new A8 Apple TV… Sorry Apple, you waited too long, at WWDC it would have been less ridiculous to launch this with year old tech.
The reason it needs an A9 or A9X preferably is because it will have an App Store, and virtually the only apps worth having on this type of device, are games. The fact that it has no battery, but rather, is plugged into the wall makes it uniquely not have to be under locked as well. It should have an A9X at full power, and 2GB DDR4 RAM like the iPhone 6S. Granted, it would be more expensive, but what's the point in upgrading to this device if you don't want the power for the apps? I for one don't want another $99.00 Apple TV, as that's just too cheap for a device that will change the living room as Apple wants to do. It should be at least $199 at its minimum storage.
rogifan - 8 years ago
I have seen zero rumors that the updated TV was going to be focused on gaming. I have a hard time believing the A8 won't be powerful enough for this new device. The newest chips are going to be reserved for iPhone. More people buy iPhones than TV's and Apple needs to ensure there are no supply constraints with the new iPhones.
@Rogifan Since you didn't read or understand what I was saying: an Apple TV App Store is nearly useless (except for gaming). The current iteration has nearly all of the apps people want, except Plex. Apps on a TV should basically be for content and gaming. Any informational apps should virtually not exist. Information should be presented in a glancable type UI like the Watch. You could have a HUD type UI that pops up info in the four corners of the screen like weather, sports scores, stocks, etc.. Therefore the device should be very powerful for gaming capabilities, as casual gaming is embarrassingly stupid on a TV screen in the living room.

They've been scrapping this at the last second for frickin' years. My nuts have a better chance of becoming President than this stupid upgrade ever happening.
alfredprunesquallor - 8 years ago
And I would care if it is "slimmer" why? I don't carry it in my pocket. This is a definite, "I'll pass".

prolango - 8 years ago
I don't. I wish they would have tested the interface first. I can see my daily visits dropping, due to the poor UI decisions. I hope this is just a Beta!
robkow86 - 8 years ago
This new interface is annoying. But great a new ATV!
rashmosh - 8 years ago
Again, BuzzFeed is just stating the obvious. If a popular device is scrapped from one event at the last minute, then it will most likely be presented at the next. Also, this story was much more comprehensively covered on NinjaTeched, http://ninjateched.com/2015/07/31/rumour-apples-next-generation-apple-tv-unveiled-in-september-details-features/. New 9to5 design looks good though!

rtd5943 - 8 years ago
I will be thoroughly disappointed if it does not support 4K and I have to buy new hardware a year from now. For the company that was first in removing the floppy and disc drive from the Mac you would think this would be a no brainer.
Jim Phong - 8 years ago
Better Apple focuses on selling the new AppleTV for gaming … the A8X would be already enough but even with the A9X what they really need is releasing it with 4GB RAM installed, 32GB or 64GB SSD at least, and the SoC should be clocked way higher.. let the TDP be in the 20Watt to 30Watt range at least…
That would be a really powerful iOS console for gaming and would allow developers to create better versions of their games for such a new AppleTV. With the A8X or A9X thanks to PowerVR GPUs at an higher 20Watt to 30Watt TDP or more it would be powerful enough to deliver a better gaming experience than the obsolete and slow AMD APU Jaguar on the Playstation4 and XBoxOne… The iPad Air 2 with its A8X SoC at a very low TDP can already do wonders…
Blake Barton - 8 years ago
If you'd like a miniature computer with large amounts of RAM and a SSD then just simply buy a Mac Mini. It's roughly takes up the same amount of space and contains the hardware you're looking for
Yes buy a macmini that's the solution!! Have you seen all those games developers make for macs?! Wow you just can't get enough!! Man that Mac App Store is just inundated with games! Inundated I tell you!
Except not.
Jim Phong is right. Blake Barton is oblivious.
Or alternatively do the logical thing and buy a PS4.
You are either technically illiterate or simply delusional. The PS4's GPU runs at 1.8 TFLOPs. No great shakes by PC standards, but compared to the 300 or so GFLOP GPU in the iPad Air 2, there's simply no comparison, nor could there ever be. Even going by a crude measure such as wattage, the PS4 uses around 150w vs the iPad Air's 6w.
There is also the issue of storage (PS4 level games often fill a 50gb BD), GPU shader capability (the PS4 is DX11 level), and services, such as multilayer gaming with PSN or XBL.
If Apple do allow games on the ATV then expect the same shoddy mobile ports which have doomed every Android set top box and nothing more. And that's to say nothing of the absurd pricing expectations of iOS games players. Try selling a AAA console level game on the App Store for £50 and see how far you get.
Aaron Lozano - 8 years ago
You seem to control a little bit about gaming. :) If streaming seems to be evolving at a very good rate and internet connections keep improving, would RAW graphic power be really a variable to consider in the near future? Getting an Apple TV/Nvidia Shield console or a PS4/XBO and having it capable to output 4K should be enough for most applications.
What are your thoughts on that? (genuine question)
I understand the fact a game currently runs better when stored locally and I was very vocal about PC and PS4/XBO gaming, but after seeing what the Nvidia Shield + GRID can do…I basically had to capitulate and open my mind on specialised streaming boxes. A new Apple TV could very well do that.
Very much hoping to see a zippy A8 processor to speed things up. Hoping to see much better WiFi and AirPlay performance with 802.11ac. Better direct connection from iOS devices.
Revamped UI, with a Global Search option, that lets you find content hidden within the plethora of apps.
Dave Perkins - 8 years ago
I would love to see support for 3D movies in the next model. Some studios (Disney) are releasing their 3D movies digitally only. With no Blu-ray option, I'm stuck buying a competitors product or trying to import the 3D Blu-ray from another country.
Congratulations I guess on being the last surviving fan of 3D.
adelesamantha2015 - 8 years ago
Great article! :) For those who live outside US like me, you can access Netflix, Hulu and similar media stations on your Apple TV by using UnoTelly or similar tools.

Q: saving wordcloud plot from AWS lambda to S3 bucket I am currently trying to save a word cloud I am generating in my AWS lambda function to my s3 bucket, my code executes gut gives  "errorMessage": "Parameter validation failed:\nInvalid type for parameter Body, value: <wordcloud.wordcloud.WordCloud object at 0x7f36643fce10>, type: <class 'wordcloud.wordcloud.WordCloud'>, valid types: <class 'bytes'>, <class 'bytearray'>, file-like object",
as an error, I have looked online and cant seem to find the cause, do I need to to convert the plot to bytes to be able to store it in S3 like this?
from wordcloud import WordCloud, STOPWORDS
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import boto3

text = "cat cat cat dog dog dog test test hello one two three four five"
generate_word_cloud(text)

def generate_word_cloud(text):
    wordcloud = WordCloud(width = 3000,
                        height = 2000,
                        random_state=1,
                        background_color='salmon',
                        colormap='Pastel1',
                        collocations=False,
                        stopwords = STOPWORDS).generate(text)
    save_to_bucket(wordcloud)

def save_to_bucket(wordcloud):
    #Save tweet list to an s3 bucket
    BUCKET_NAME = "1706224-tweets"
    FILE_NAME = "wordcloud.png"
    s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
    object = s3.Object(BUCKET_NAME, FILE_NAME)
    object.put(Body=wordcloud)

A: In the end I used the /tmp storage from lambda to store the image temporarily, then uploaded the image after
wordcloud.to_file("/tmp/"+FILE_NAME)
s3 = boto3.client('s3')
s3.upload_file("/tmp/"+FILE_NAME,BUCKET_NAME,FILE_NAME)

A: you could convert the PIL image to a byte array and use that, for instance in your case you could do the following in your save_to_bucket method

def save_to_bucket(wordcloud):
    #Save tweet list to an s3 bucket
    BUCKET_NAME = "1706224-tweets"
    FILE_NAME = "wordcloud.png"
    s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
    object = s3.Object(BUCKET_NAME, FILE_NAME)

    // here you convert the PIL image that generate wordcloud to byte array
    image_byte = image_to_byte_array(wordcloud.to_image())
    object.put(Body=image_byte)

def image_to_byte_array(image: Image, format: str = 'png'):
    result = io.BytesIO()
    image.save(result, format=format)
    result = result.getvalue()

    return result

La stazione di Berlino Est (, colloquialmente anche Küstriner Bahnhof – "stazione di Küstrin") era una stazione ferroviaria di Berlino, nel quartiere di Friedrichshain.

Storia
Fu aperta nel 1867 come capolinea dell'Ostbahn per Königsberg (l'attuale Kaliningrad). La tettoia interna, progettata da Adolf Lohse e Hermann Cuno, misurava 188 metri di lunghezza e 38 di larghezza.

La stazione restò in servizio pochi anni: nel 1882, con l'apertura della Stadtbahn, l'Ostbahn venne deviata sullo Schlesischer Bahnhof così da poter percorrere quella linea. L'Ostbahnhof fu
quindi soppresso ed utilizzato, nei decenni successivi, come ricovero della Croce Rossa.

Nel 1929 all'interno dell'edificio aprì il varietà "Plaza", rilevato nel 1938 dall'associazione nazista Kraft durch Freude.

L'edificio fu distrutto dai bombardamenti della seconda guerra mondiale. Al suo posto sorge oggi la sede del quotidiano Neues Deutschland.

I received this a while ago, and hadn't used it until recently. I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to my hair products, but was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this budget brand. I'm actually almost finished with the bottles so you might see these in my empties soon.
I am a huge fan of the Lord of Misrule Bath Bomb, so I was incredibly excited to pick up the shower cream as well. I've been using this non-stop since I purchased it, and I've been loving it. It does make my whole body green (it washes off, don't worry) which is definitely part of the novelty. Oh and it smells amazing.
I have the entire collection now as I loved them so much. I did receive six shades as a PR sample but I had to buy more. I've been loving the neutral and pink shades. I'm also loving the scent of these; they are much nicer than previous Rimmel London lipsticks.
I don't remember what shade this one is, but it's a darker shade. I actually use this as a contour stick and I find it works wonders. Because it's a foundation it also stays all day, which is awesome. I blend this in with a beauty blender and I'm good to go. Too easy.
As the weather has still been warm, I've been experimenting with different products to help keep my makeup staying fresher for longer. I love this finishing spray as it really does work, and helps keep me looking nice all day. I love that this is a smaller bottle too so I can keep it in my handbag and spritz throughout the day if I need to.
My friend Chelsea actually made me this super cool X-Files cross stitch for my birthday earlier this month. I've been binge watching X-Files on Netflix lately, and I've always been a big fan of aliens and the supernatural, so I'm really into it. I'm super impressed with her skills and I'm totally in love with it!
Okay this is probably going to sound like a sponsored gush but it's really not. I'm addicted to this chocolate - I can't stop eating it. I'm usually not a huge fan of mint things but my partner is, so I grabbed one each for us to try. It contains the perfect ratio of mint - not too strong, but just strong enough to taste. I'm a huge chocolate fan so my standards are pretty high!
Have you tried any of the above products? If so, what are your thoughts? Are any of these products favourites of yours, too?
I still haven't cracked out my Lord of Misrule shower cream, but now I really want to! And I love those Rimmel lippies - really moisturising!
i had use the black sunsilk but now i used head &shoulder and L'Oréal conditioner.
I'm definitely going to have to pick up one of those mint twirls and try it out, sounds tasty!
Great faves! I was a huge fan of the Rimmel The Only 1 Lipsticks too but forgot to pop them in my favourites so I guess they will be in there for March because I'm still using them non stop! I also love Lord of Misrule Shower Gel! I gifted a set to my husband for Christmas that had that inside and it's funny we both loved the scent so it's a great one for men or women!
I love mint chocolate! So delicious! When I was a kid I would eat chocolate and then brush my teeth to get the same effect #kidlogic. Love the cross stitch too! Was it a counted cross stitch? I should try one of those again :D Great faves lady, happy Feb!
The Rimmel Lipsticks are great! They always knock it out of the park with their releases.
I love your feb favorites. I would love the try NYX setting spray!
I tried one on the weekend, only $1 on special at Woolies, very tasty! I sort of expected it to be green on the inside though.
I am a huge addict when comes to Chocolate too haha.


letters to my little love...: What is Christmas all about?
"How many presents will Nonnie get me?"
This is what you asked me last night, & I cringed inside. I know it's typical for children to be excited about receiving gifts, but I want you to know that this season is about so much more than what comes wrapped inside colorful paper. I want you to know this season is about family & friends & God. More than anything, I hope this season is all about love for you...giving your love to others & being grateful for the love that is given to you by so many.
I gave you a stern look, told you if you were going to start counting gifts I would cancel gift giving altogether, & asked you what you thought Christmas was all about. You begrudgingly & solemnly told me, "It's about love & being with family." I know that you were just giving me the answer you knew I expected to hear & not necessarily the answer you felt in your heart.
That's when Daddy stepped in. He told you about a family they were "adopting" at work for the holidays. He told you about how the family had been through really hard times. Instead of hoping for tons of toys, this family needed clothes & shoes & food. He asked you to think about how you never have to worry about if you would have clothes to wear or when you would be able to eat again. Daddy told you about how there are many children who have to worry about things like that every single day.
He asked if you would help pick out a pair of pajamas & shoes for a little boy who was your same age. You instantly became excited about helping. Just in that moment, the holiday became about what you were planning to give rather than what you were planning to get. I think that's a good place to start.

Match Report: Chelsea 4-0 Manchester United
Sport | 25th October 2016
By Thomas Walton
Tags: Chelsea, Football, manchester, Manchester United
Manchester United pulverised in nightmarish Stamford Bridge return for old favourite Mourinho.
The Manchester United manager was humiliated in his first return to his old stomping ground since taking over as Man Utd manager. His side was dominated from the first kick and simply could not handle a rampant Chelsea side.
Conte once again set his team out in a 3-4-3 formation, which has proved fruitful since their defeat to Arsenal in September and United could not find an answer to their width and relentless pressing. Wingers Lingard and Rashford often filled in at full back positions as Marcos Alonso and Victor Moses were constantly bombing forward which penned Unite back in their own half. Ultimately Man Utd were the masters of their own downfall, making numerous of both individual and collective mistakes in the defence, which Chelsea took full advantage of.
The first defensive error came from miscommunication in the United defence in the opening seconds of the game. Smalling and Blind were both at fault as they allowed Pedro latched on to a ball from Marcos Alonso who rounded a De Gea, who needlessly rushed out, and slotted the ball into a gaping net. All within 30 seconds.
The hosts played with a much greater intensity than their opponents who looked tired and lethargic in comparison. Chelsea looked dangerous every time they ventured forward and it was only a matter of time until they scored their second. They doubled the scoring in the 21st minute when poor marking from a corner allowed Cahill with time and space to score.
The half ended with the score at two nill, but frankly the score flattered Manchester united who lacked any of the team unity that was on display in their Monday night game against Liverpool. However a moment of contention came in the 40th minute when David Luiz was lucky to remain on the field; his reckless high challenge on Fellaini only received a booking from Martin Atkinson.
After the break, Mata came on for Fellaini, which enabled Rashford to move up front alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Minutes later Jose Mourinho was forced into another change after Bailly picked up an injury and Rojo replaced him in the 52nd minute.
Man Utd started to gain their footing in the game and began controlling possession but Chelsea once again capitalised on poor concentration in the United backline and in the 62nd minute, Hazard played a one two with Matic and found himself free from any markers and dribbled by Smalling before slotting the ball effortlessly into the corner.
Chelsea could sense blood at this point as Man Utd looked increasingly vulnerable, another goal was inevitable and it came from an unlikely source. Kante's run was not tracked by Herrera or Pogba and the Frenchman dribbled past Pogba and Smalling with consummate ease before showing De Gea the eyes and putting the ball into the corner. A goal Eden Hazard would have been proud of.
In spite of the horror show they were witnessing, the visiting fans were vocal throughout the match, with their voices overpowering the Chelsea faithful. Not one to be outdone Conte began to rile up the Stamford Bridge crowd which Mourinho allegedly took offence to when the two came together at the end.
The result sees Chelsea move up to 4th on 19 points just one behind the leaders Man City. Man Utd remain in 7th on 14 points.

\section{Introduction \& Overview}

Since the vision of Digital Bits proposed in Ishii's 1997 paper~\cite{ishii1997tangible}, tangible user interfaces have been explored in a wide range of forms. In exploring how to transition from interacting with bits on desktop
digital devices to interacting with digital bits embedded in physical objects, researchers have explored creating objects that controlled digitally using electromagnets~\cite{nisser2021programmable} or that shape-change predictably via linearly actuated pistons~\cite{follmer2013inform} or soluble support  material~\cite{nisser2019sequential}. Moving to increase portability and inspired in many ways by papercraft, growing communities of researchers turned to fabricating interactive material sheets. This work is strongly informed by seminal research on proposed Computational Composites~\cite{vallgaarda2007computational} or Robotic Materials~\cite{mcevoy2015materials} that combine sensing, actuation and computation in single composite material. For example, Printscreen~\cite{olberding2014printscreen} developed thin film sheets embedded with both capacitive touch and display capabilities and Foldio~\cite{olberding2015foldio} built on this work to enable self-foldability via embedded material actuators. Such laminate composite materials capable of both sensing and actuation have more recently been developed using actively controlled shape memory polymer~\cite{nisser2016feedback}. As these actuators suffer from power-inefficiencies and required offboard energy storage, more recent techniques have leveraged programmable magnetic sheets to enable both physical actuation and
interaction~\cite{nisser2022mixels}. However, these new materials have proven challenging to manufacture as composite sheets capable of sensing, computation, actuation and energy storage in an untethered, portable manner. While foundational work has been done to design materials fitting these criteria, an under-explored area has been the design of such a computational composite that leverages inexpensive, commercially available materials that can be manufactured using traditionally available fabrication machines.

In this paper, we design such a composite from readily available materials and manufacturing platforms with the aim to accelerate experimentation and prototyping of applications for computational composite materials. We leverage sheets of programmable magnetic sheet to build on prior technologies and propose an inexpensive material layup (Figure \ref{fig: fig1}) that can be fabricated using typical makerspace machines (Figure \ref{fig: pipeline}) that combines sensing, actuation and energy storage for general purpose use. We use the Mixels interface~\cite{nisser2022mixels} to produce pairs of magnetic sheet that attract or repel in one configuration, but
remain agnostic in all others. The desired functionality is given to the accompanying UI, which produces the required
magnetic pixel patterns and plots them using a magnetic plotter. We then use a fiber laser to rapidly engrave custom
PCB pairs whose circuits close electrically only when superimposed in their correct configuration. By bonding these
PCB pairs to magnetic sheet pairs and battery layers, we produce a magnetically actuated electronic sheet that only
bonds in a particular, self-aligning orientation, which closes its circuit to become electronically functional (Figure \ref{fig: pipeline}). We
use the sheet for applications including tangible interactions and origami-inspired self-folding.

\section{Background and Related Work}
\par
In this section, we outline related work in smart laminate materials and methods that have leveraged magnetism to imbue objects with interactive capabilities.

\subsection{Computational Composite Materials}

Computational Composites~\cite{vallgaarda2007computational} or Robotic Materials~\cite{mcevoy2015materials} that combine sensing, actuation and computation in single composite material, or portable sheets capable of interacting with the user, have been explored by researchers across a variety of communities in the form of tangible devices, papercraft, and foldable robots. Researchers have used printed circuits to create lightweight and portable interfaces that harvest energy from human interaction~\cite{karagozler2014paper}, enable paper-based computing through interactive pop-up books~\cite{qi2010electronic,zhao2017instangible} and that leverage thin film displays to create paper-based sheets capable of dynamic visual feedback for educational tool-kits~\cite{klamka2017illumipaper}.

By adhering together structural layers, embedded electronics, actuators and flexural hinges, roboticists have developed robots that can be manufactured as smart laminate sheets before self-folding into their target geometries. Using paper and carbon fiber as structural backing to flexible PCBs, researchers have embedded actuators in the form of shape memory alloys~\cite{firouzeh2015robogami}, shape memory polymers~\cite{nisser2016feedback}, and pneumatically activated polymer pouches~\cite{niiyama2015pouch}. However these actuators typically suffer from power-inefficiencies and require offboard energy from a dedicated supply to actuate them, reducing portability.

In this work, we substitute away energy-intensive material actuators in favor of reprogrammable magnetic materials capable of exerting near-field forces without any online power. These materials are instead programmed to exert particular forces before use, simplifying force control, and reducing both the cost and thickness of the sheet.

\subsection{Magnetically actuated interactive objects}

Magnets have been widely used to create actuated interfaces by manipulating the magnetic fields surrounding an object. Researchers have used digitally controlled electromagnets to move objects across desks~\cite{pangaro2002actuated}, fabricated paper-based media that enable both movement and dynamic interaction\cite{ogata2015fluxpaper}, utilized magnets to develop VR interaction tool-kits \cite{zhao2017instangible}, and invented portable displays by embedding shielded magnetic designs~\cite{liang2014gaussstones}. In recent years, researchers have explored the feasibility of using magnetic sheet by programming patterns onto them for both haptic and other novel interactive applications~\cite{yasu2017magnetic,yasu2019magnetact}. In particular, Mixels~\cite{nisser2022mixels} built upon work on orthonormal magnetic codes~\cite{nisser2022selective} to develop a magnetic plotter and accompanying user interface that could be used to plot magnetic patterns that were selectively attractive and agnostic to other patterns.

In this paper, we build on Mixels by integrating their sheet into a material stack of PCBs and battery layers to develop a portable smart laminate material, and develop a digital fabrication pipeline to support its creation. The programmed magnetic sheets allows the material stack to bond selectively to only particular parts of other sheets, creating opportunities in snappable PCBs and error-correcting folding of origami-inspired structures.

\section{Design and fabrication pipeline for programmable composite materials}

This section introduces the design and fabrication procedure for making magnetically programmable composite materials. We begin by introducing the material layup and detail the software and hardware involved in fabricating the finished laminate.

\subsection{Material layup}

Our smart composite material is comprised of three key layers to enable actuation, computation and energy storage, respectively, and costs approximately \$6 USD per 50mm square.

\textbf{Actuation layer} The actuation layer is a soft magnetic sheet that is programmed using the Mixels interface to either bond, repel, or remain agnostic to other areas of the sheet. We use flexible, inexpensive off-the-shelf fridge magnet that is traditionally used as stickers refrigerators and white boards. Thicker sheet is capable of supporting stronger magnetic attraction, while thinner sheet is more lightweight and amenable to bending. We sampled four material thicknesses (0.1mm, 0.55mm, 0.76mm and 1mm) of generic magnetic sheet and chose 0.76mm sheet as a trade-off between these desirable criteria.

\textbf{Computation layer} The computation layer is a flexible PCB made from copper-clad kapton engraved by a fiber laser. We use sheet with a copper trace thickness of 0.3mm which gives high conductivity with insignificant voltage drops and retaining sufficient rigidity to prevent breakage during handling, while remaining flexible enough to allow rolling of the sheet. Copper traces permit electronic components to be soldered directly onto the copper pads during fabrication.

\textbf{Energy storage layer} The computation layer is powered by a third, energy-storage layer, which is comprised of a 0.4mm-thin flexible lithium polymer battery (Powerstream).
These batteries are rechargeable, flexible and exhibit an operating voltage up to 3.6V which supports interfacing with COTS electronic components.

\textbf{Optional layers} Two additional, optional layers introduced in Figure \ref{fig: fig1} are designated as a structural layer, to give further support to the sheet for load-bearing applications, and an aesthetic layer, to give the sheet a desired texture or color; in future work, this could be augmented with thin film displays~\cite{olberding2014printscreen}.

\begin{figure}
  \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{pipeline.png}
  \caption{Design and fabrication pipeline: We use copper-clad kapton and soft magnetic sheet to encode with circuits and magnetic codes, respectively; We design circuits and code the magnetic patterns using our own user interface, outputting dxf files for the fiber laser and magnetic plotter to cut and plot; These produce pairs of flexible PCBs and magnetic sheets with desired patterns; We populate the PCBs with components and assemble the material layups into sheet A and sheet B; The sheet becomes electrically functional when sheets A and B are properly aligned, in which orientation they bond magnetically.}
  \label{fig: pipeline}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
  \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{user_interface_01.png}
  \caption{Designing (left) circuits for the fiber laser, (middle) magnetic programs using the Mixels user interface, and (right) magnetic sheets for cutting on a vinyl cutter.}
  \label{fig: User Interface}
\end{figure}

\subsection{Fabrication pipeline}
The design and fabrication pipeline for fabricating our smart composite material is illustrated in Figure \ref{fig: pipeline}. These produce pairs of flexible PCBs and magnetic sheets with desired patterns; We populate the PCBs with components and assemble the material layups into sheet A and sheet B; The sheet becomes electrically functional when sheets A and B are properly aligned, in which orientation they bond magnetically.

\textbf{Materials}: The process begins with selecting sheets of the copper-clad kapton and soft magnetic sheet described in the materials section above.

\textbf{Design}:  We design our circuit pad layouts in Adobe Illustrator and output dxf files for the fiber laser software (zCAD) to execute on the copper-clad kapton (Figure \ref{fig: User Interface}). We design square magnetic sheet geometries for simplicity and use the Mixels user interface to design selectively attractive patterns to plot onto these sheets using the magnetic plotter. By convention we refer to two mating magnetic sheets as A and B, where Mixels ensures that A and B will only bond attractively in one configuration while remaining magnetically agnostic in all other translations and rotations.

\textbf{Fabrication}: We execute the circuit pattern on the copper clad kapton using the fiber laser, upload a desired interface design into the vinyl cutter software (Silhouette Studio) to cut desired sizes of magnetic sheet (for simplicity, we use squares), and encode the magnetic programs onto the soft magnetic sheets using the Mixels magnetic plotter. This plotter consists of a Snapmaker 3-in-1 augmented with an add-on supporting an Arduino Nano micro-controller, an electromagnet, an H-bridge, and a hall effect sensor encased in a 3D-printed housing.

\textbf{Assembly}: After soldering any required electronic components onto the finished PCB, we adhere the PCB layer and a battery layer onto each magnetically programmed sheet (A and B) using CA glue.

\textbf{Testing}: Once each individual laminate is assembled, we superimpose the two sheets in their correct mating configuration and confirm magnetic attraction and a strong electrical connection (Figure \ref{fig: Applications}A,B,C,D). The sheets will not bond readily in any other configuration, helping the user find the correct orientation and avoiding shorting the circuit.

\begin{figure}
  \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{demo01.png}
  \caption{Electronic magnetic sheet: (A). Exposed PCBs of sheets A and B (B) Display and battery sides. (C) When the complementary sheets A and B combine, the LEDs light up and blink every second. (D) The thickness of the electronic magnetic sheet is 3mm. (E) Application: Authentication User Interface. Two PCBs, here labeled Tom and Jerry, will selectively pair in different configurations on the larger bottom PCB, lighting up different LEDs with Tom and Jerry IDs. (F) Application: Object classification. Three magnetically-folded boxes of equal size contain different contents. A classifier that couples the magnetic interactions to a force transducer communicates the contents of the boxes via LEDs without opening them. (G) Tangible Interface for learning the Scratch language. Scratch components will only bond in locations where they form correct semantic meanings, and light up an LED when placed there to communicate this to the student.}
  \label{fig: Applications}
\end{figure}

\section{Applications}

We illustrate use cases of our composite material and fabrication process through applications in physical authentication, classification, tangible interfaces and foldable structures.

\subsection{Double-authentication user interface}
We can leverage the selectivity of the magnetic codes together with the closing of the electrical circuit for aligned PCBs as a double-authentication method, as both magnetic bonding and electrical connection are required to verify correct bonding. Using PCBs populated with LEDs to communicate this authentication visually, we can enrich the feedback to the user in a way that is tailored to the application (Figure \ref{fig: Applications}E).

\subsection{Object detection, classification and tracking}
Object detection, classification, and tracking are critical features to logistics, transportation, and warehousing management, and ways to do so unobtrusively are particularly salient in HCI. With our technique, we leverage magnetic codes to build a sheet that bonds to itself when folded to form a cube. We fill the cubes with contents before folding the last side, it's lid. Outward-facing magnetic codes on each cube allow each cubic "package" to be identified and sorted without opening it (Figure \ref{fig: Applications}F).

\subsection{Tangible interface for learning Scratch for K12 student}
Scratch is a visual programming language aimed primarily for children as an educational tool for programming. Using our rapid fabrication technique, we can physically instantiate these visual programs as interactive physical coding blocks for students to learn and play with. These blocks can be magnetically coded to only bond to create a particular "program", and designed electrically to visually confirm correct "compilation" using LEDs (Figure \ref{fig: Applications}G).

\subsection{Interactive, foldable structures}
\par
Folding is an efficient method to develop bistable and dynamic surfaces~\cite{huang2012easigami}. Using our technique, we fabricate 2D sheets and fold them into 3D geometries, embedding circuits onto sides of what becomes different folded solids (Figure \ref{fig: Apps-origami}). In Figure \ref{fig: Apps-origami}A, An unfolded cube is colored with white on one side and black on the other. It can be folded in either direction to create either a white or black cube as seen by the user, and a different LED will light up to confirm correct folding on completion. In Figure \ref{fig: Apps-origami}B, a more exotic shape has multiple stable configurations, and the LED only lights up on folding into the particular desired shape.

\begin{figure}
  \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{demo02.png}
  \caption{Conveying successful deployment of folded structures. (A) An unfolded cube can be folded in two directions to create either a black or white cube, with different LEDs signaling correct target acquisition. (B) This mechanism can similarly be used in multistable structures to signal that a particular geometry has been acquired by the object.}
  \label{fig: Apps-origami}
\end{figure}

\section{Limitations and future work}
\par
In this section, we discuss the limitations of our fabrication process and propose directions for future work.

\subsection{Fabrication streamlining}
Our existing fabrication procedure involves three separate user interfaces and three different machines, resulting in several disaparate steps in both the design and fabrication procedures. To unburden user attention and decrease the risk for human error, future work will streamline file conversion and material alignment between these procedures.

\subsection{Magnetic sheet thickness}
Increasing the magnetic sheet thickness increases the bonding force available between mating pairs. While our design trade-off weighed inexpensive, commercially available alternatives against each other to select our sheet, materials exhibiting higher flux densities, such as high-purity iron particulate cast in silicone matrices, could be explored to raise bond strength while retaining low material thicknesses.

\subsection{Integrating origami mechanisms}
Origami is a traditional Japanese art that has received widespread used in engineering~\cite{peraza2014origami}. It has been shown that single single sheets can be constructed to acquire multiple different target configurations once folded in order to adapt the sheet to diverse or changing needs~\cite{reis2015transforming}. Future work should explore leveraging these capabilities using our approach to develop more exotic applications in self-folding structures.

\section{Conclusion}
\par
In this paper, we introduced a computational composite sheet comprised of actuation, energy and computation layers and developed a fabrication process for its construction. We leveraged inexpensive materials and readily available fabrication machines to support the rapid exploration of applications from computational composites. We illustrated how this sheet can be used to build new applications for physical authentication, classification, tangible interfaces and foldable structures. In particular, at a sheet price of \$6 per 50mm square, it supports the inexpensive creation of novel interactive devices that can be assembled rapidly and are capable of communicating its state to the user via onboard LEDs. Finally, we surveyed the limitations to our approach and highlighted avenues for future work for continuing the improvement of portable, computational composite materials for interactive applications.

Professor Irene Tracey CBE, FMedSci has set out her vision for Oxford's future as she is formally admitted as the University's 273rd Vice-Chancellor, expressing her ambition 'to be an advocate for Oxford like no other.'
Speaking at her Admission Ceremony, Professor Tracey spoke of her pride at being asked to lead her hometown University where she has studied and worked as an internationally-renowned neuroscientist.
Addressing the audience in the Sheldonian Theatre, Professor Tracey said:
'I stand here today, as surprised as no doubt you are, that after a lengthy global search this University, my University, elected a local girl - in every sense of the phrase - to be your next Vice-Chancellor. To be entrusted with this role fills me with immeasurable pride. I am privileged and honoured to serve my hometown University that has nurtured me since my undergraduate days.'
Professor Tracey also outlined the four key areas which will be central to her tenure as Vice-Chancellor: Education and Teaching; Discovery and Translational Research; Local and Global Engagement; and People.
The new Vice-Chancellor was welcomed to her post by the Chancellor of the University, Lord Patten of Barnes.
Lord Patten told the audience:
'Irene Tracey was born in the Radcliffe, went to state schools in Oxford, and after university here and at Harvard, she came back to Oxford to become the Nuffield Professor in Anaesthetic Sciences as well as to the leadership of the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neuroscience and to posts at Christ Church and Pembroke. She returned from there to her old college, Merton, as Warden. Speaking for the whole University, I wish to thank Merton for giving up a fine Warden to allow us, I'm sure, to appoint an equally fine Vice Chancellor.'
In response, Professor Tracey spoke of her local roots, her 'inspirational' school education and the importance of her family and her faith. Describing herself as 'made in Oxford', she told her audience:
'I will be an advocate for Oxford like no other, because I know – in detail – what great things we offer and have yet to offer this city, this country and the world, whether that's via knowledge generation, through discovery research, or knowledge transfer, through our world-class teaching. I will be relentless in championing what we do and making sure that the Oxford that I know, live, and breathe, is the one that people get to hear about.'
Drawing on her background as a world-leading neuroscientist, Professor Tracey told her audience:
'The Hebbian principle in neuroscience describes beneficial neuronal behaviour in the brain: if you fire together, you wire together. My goal is to fire and wire this great University more closely with our city, this nation and the globe, working generously with the other great British universities with whom we share our higher education ecosystem.'
Setting out the four key areas for her tenure, the Vice-Chancellor spoke of the transformative power of education, the need to think creatively about making teaching posts tenable, and to innovate new ways of disseminating knowledge. She said:
'Our goal is to teach students from any background so that they have knowledge in their chosen subject area, but just as importantly lifelong skills in how to learn, how to engage constructively with differing opinions, how to be unyielding in their search for truth, how to navigate a world of 'fake news' and disinformation, and how to remain curious. Their goal is to find their passion and hopefully shape a sustainable, more equal and truly inclusive society.'
Turning to research, Professor Tracey spoke of the need to widen sources of funding, to drive greater innovation and 'to get serious about climate change'. She added:
'The pandemic has taught society why discovery research matters; why well-trained experts matter; and hence, why world-leading research-intensive teaching universities matter. We must build on this awakening and set ourselves yet greater ambitions.'
Professor Tracey said she wanted to see Oxford expand its global engagement and that she was 'absolutely committed to strengthening and deepening the relationships between the city, county and University.' This will include the creation of a new post to build Oxford's global and local engagement, and working to reduce the pressure on the city's housing and public services.
On people, the Vice-Chancellor said the University now needed to focus on its staff, 'the lifeblood of any university.'
Announcing a new commission on all aspects of staff pay and conditions, Professor Tracey told her audience: 'We must find ways to shift the needle in your quality of life so that you can continue to deliver your best performance. I have heard the strength of feeling on pay and working conditions, and it is a priority for me to make sure the University is doing everything it can to support staff during these difficult financial times and to be an attractive place to work in the future.'
Professor Tracey is the second woman to hold the post of Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford, after her immediate predecessor Professor Dame Louise Richardson.
A renowned neuroscientist, Professor Tracey also led Merton College as Warden from 2019 up until her appointment as Vice-Chancellor. She was Professor of Anaesthetic Neuroscience in the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, a department she led for several years whilst holding a Statutory Chair. She is also President of the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS).
Professor Tracey's research on the neuroscience of pain has contributed to a better understanding of pain perception and the representation of pain in the brain. In 2022, she was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for services to Medical Research by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
Professor Tracey completed her undergraduate degree and doctorate at Merton College, Oxford, in biochemistry; her doctoral work focused on early use of magnetic resonance imaging methods to study disease mechanisms in humans under the supervision of Professor Sir George Radda.
She then held a postdoctoral position at Harvard Medical School, working at the Martinos Centre for Biomedical Imaging, before returning to Oxford in 1997, when she became a founding member and then Director for ten years of the world-leading institution now known as the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging.
The Vice-Chancellor is Oxford University's senior officer, responsible for the strategic direction and leadership of the world's top-ranked university.

The fashion industry is booming. As of November 2012, there were 11,839 fashion businesses in the US, representing over $1 billion in revenue, according to IBISWorld's Fashion Designers market research report. But starting a high-end boutique, designing a couture clothing line, or a producing fashion show is no small task. A small business requires an incredible investment of money, time and energy. First, you need a killer strategy to guide you through your dream project. A salient strategy document succinctly plans and outlines business goals for a fruitful enterprise and formulates strategies and recommendations on how best to achieve them.
Define the Products and Funding
Describe the essence of your proposed fashion business to a friend or business partner. Jot down bullet points if it helps. Is it a high-end retail shop? Is it a women's shoe salon? Is it a men's grooming products line? Is it a fashionable maternity wear? Different products and markets have different consumer demographics and considerations. List the primary objectives. What is the target market? What is the fashion niche your business will fit into? What are your projected monthly costs? Where will get the seed money? Be realistic about how much funding you will need to not only open the business, but sustain it long-term.
Research the fashion market and avenue you want to establish your business in. Break it down and itemize costs by clothing type: tops, bottoms, dresses, jeans, outerwear, underwear, swimwear, athletic wear, baby clothes, etc. Investigate historical sales figures, data and trends in that market from reputable trade publications and consult with experienced entrepreneurs and online support forums. Determine your primary competitors. What are their strengths? What are their weaknesses? What are areas in the market in which you should capitalize or avoid?
Pick the Location
If you want to set up a physical shop, choose where your business will be located. Where is the prime spot for your target customer? Where is the highest concentration of foot traffic? Outline a budget for leasing a property, how much square footage you will need, buying wholesale goods and materials, payroll for the number of employees you will need for operations, merchant account fees for credit cards you will accept, the shop's interior design and other miscellaneous concerns and small details that will require your attention before the shop is ready to open for business.
Write the Document
Sit down and write the whole strategy, section by section. Type out a couple of paragraphs summarizing the most important sections. The opening summary should encapsulate the main vision and important information of the business that you will use to pitch to potential investors. Make it pop. Avoid subjective statements and vague claims; it will not sound authoritative and will discredit your business ideas. Avoid passive language; use dynamic, active language that reinforces what you will DO.

Stir together dry ingredients. Add wet ones and stir to combine but don't over mix. Let sit for a few minutes then preheat the pan to med-high heat with a small amount of oil for frying. I use a non-stick pan so I don't have to use much oil, but whatever you prefer will work. Cook as you would any pikelets, when bubbles appear on top, they are ready to turn. Cook less time on the second side than the first.
These are great leftover if you heat them slightly in the microwave or toaster. If you want a more savoury version, cut the sugar back to 1 T. You can add fruit, like blueberries or bananas to the batter, too. Or serve with fruit and yogurt on the side. My favourite is bananas and maple syrup.
*If you don't have buttermilk you can substitute milk with the juice of a lemon for it, or you can mix half milk and half plain yogurt together also. You may have to experiment with the amounts a little to get it right for your tastes.
**Also you can add 1T of whatever vegetable oil you like, to the batter. The texture is not much different when they are fresh, but it keeps the leftovers a bit softer when you re-heat them.


[prMac.com] Fiumicino, Italy - Briksoftware opens beta testing on Snapplr, the smartest way to take and share screenshots. Snapplr extends Mac OS X's native screenshooting facilities by providing a very easy way to instantly share screenshots on the Web via any Instant Messaging client or Mail. The beta testing program is currently limited to the first 100 people signing up.
Snapplr makes it exceptionally easy to take screenshots and share them. The screenshots will be hosted either locally, on Snapplr's embedded webserver or on Snapplr's server. This avoids problems caused, for example, by different instant messaging clients. Hosting on Snapplr's website also bypasses any firewall or router/NAT problem.
Snapplr, by default, is operated exactly like Mac OS X's screenshoting facilities, integrating perfectly in the user workflow. Unlike the system facilities, however, Snapplr provides an immediate way to share screenshots or mail them via a floating option panel which can operated both by mouse and by keyboard.
A revolutionary feature introduced by Snapplr is the ability to select an area, a window or even the whole screen and obtain an URL which takes and shows a new screenshot everytime the URL is loaded or refreshed in the browser. This makes it possible to show work to your clients in real time or monitor a remote machine, for example through a WebClip.
Snapplr runs on Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5, on both PPC and Intel Macs. People interested in beta testing Snapplr can signup with their email address.

Chaperonins assist protein folding with the consumption of ATP. They exist as multi-subunit protein assemblies comprising rings of subunits stacked back to back. In Escherichia coli, asymmetric intermediates of GroEL are formed with the co-chaperonin GroES and nucleotides bound only to one of the seven-subunit rings (the cis ring) and not to the opposing ring (the trans ring). The structure of the GroEL-GroES-(ADP)7 complex reveals how large en bloc movements of the cis ring's intermediate and apical domains enable bound GroES to stabilize a folding chamber with ADP confined to the cis ring. Elevation and twist of the apical domains double the volume of the central cavity and bury hydrophobic peptide-binding residues in the interface with GroES, as well as between GroEL subunits, leaving a hydrophilic cavity lining that is conducive to protein folding. An inward tilt of the cis equatorial domain causes an outward tilt in the trans ring that opposes the binding of a second GroES. When combined with new functional results, this negative allosteric mechanism suggests a model for an ATP-driven folding cycle that requires a double toroid.

Louise Hopkins
Flying Fox
Sat 8 September – Sat 15 December 2018
Open Thurs – Sat, 10am – 4pm (or by appointment)

This autumn, CAMPLE LINE presents Flying Fox, a new temporary commission and exhibition by artist Louise Hopkins. The first formal presentation of Hopkins' work in a rural location, Flying Fox brings together a large-scale work of geometric abstraction made specifically for CAMPLE LINE's gallery spaces and a group of ten new and recent works on paper that have been installed in dialogue with it.
CAMPLE LINE approached Hopkins in July 2017. About to undertake a short residency at Cove Park in Argyll and Bute, she was then scheduled to embark upon the production and installation of Dance Number, her commission for the outside of the Mackintosh Building at The Glasgow School of Art. Familiar within Hopkins' body of work in respect of its concentrated arrangement of repeated colours and forms, Dance Number was of an architectural scale new to her practice, deriving from questions Hopkins has been increasingly broaching about how abstraction and environment can relate. Hopkins' project at Cample has developed from her experiences producing Dance Number and opportunities she took at Cove Park to bring her work outside in a more exploratory sense. As she has said, 'In my work the connection between inside and out has always been important.'
Early in the development of Flying Fox, Hopkins was invited to view archival material at The HALO Trust, Dumfries Museum
and Drumlanrig Castle as potential resources she might draw on to connect her practice and her visual language to the area. From the start, however, Hopkins was most attentive to the buildings and structures around Cample Mill and keen to connect her project very directly with the immediate environment. Over the successive days of a February visit, Hopkins spent time positioning large abstract paintings around both the interior of CAMPLE LINE and the grounds outside.
The scale of the paintings, and the effort in lifting them around, necessarily entailed a participatory element that was at times captivating: Hopkins' new edition, Bridge and Crown resulted from one particular moment that saw Hopkins disappear under (and arguably into) her painting. Hopkins did consider developing a work for outdoors, but ultimately Flying Fox evolved within CAMPLE LINE building. In an early exchange, she offered the following reflection: 'a linking factor in
all my work is that it addresses/responds to context; this might be the context of a catalogue page, a piece of folded paper or of a building or environment.'
The scale of Flying Fox necessitates dynamic viewing and is both encompassing and social, whilst a selection of new and recent works draw attention back to its hand-painted qualities and encourage closer, slower and more personal encounters. Importantly, the smaller framed works engage in dialogue with Flying Fox, connecting it to Hopkins' existing body of work and her distinctive visual language: Quarters from 2010 prefigures an interest in colour, abstraction, grid and place that ultimately informs Flying Fox. Equally the two paintings on photographic collage, Rosa B and Chandelier, link it to Hopkins' earlier paintings on patterned fabric. At the same time, like Leaf, they connect us and Flying Fox back to the arboreal world immediately outside the gallery. Others such as Intermediary and Ruby Sapphire delight in pattern and its tactility, and they share a lightness of touch that is evident
in Hopkins' choice of 'Flying Fox' as title for both commission and exhibition.
Already Flying Fox is assuming a unique and enigmatic presence of its own. In essence, it is full of shapes much as the walls that dress the exterior of CAMPLE LINE building are full of stone; as Hopkins suggests, 'one is paint and the other is stone; here they touch each other.' Arriving at CAMPLE LINE on a bright morning, it is difficult not to connect the pared-down abstract language and palette of Flying Fox with the sight of a cloudless blue sky filling the viaduct arches. Such momentary heightened awareness speaks of Hopkins' interest in the potential of abstraction to connect us vitally and emotionally
to our surroundings, and it is perhaps the promise of Flying Fox as an exhibition – the sense of a sudden uplift, even thrill or elation, offered in its very name.

This was an important exercise in acknowledging the relationship that exists between Te Puia | NZMACI and the Rotorua District Council over the 50 years that the National Institute has been operating.
Te Puia | NZMACI was also joined by Te Whare Ahorangi who provided a series of daily Matariki lectures inside our meeting house here on-site Te Aronui-ā-Rua. The lectures were open to the public and were attended by school groups, local artists and community members as well as Te Puia | NZMACI whānau and staff. The lectures provided great insight into the world of Mātauranga Māori, couched within the context of Matariki and the 50th year celebrations.
The Matariki lectures provided an intellectual edge to the winter events here on-site.
Our Café staff from Food & Beverage enhanced the event further by designing and incorporating a special menu that was offered on special as a part of the celebrations. The menu, which blended cuisine with typical pā foods included a delicious pork & watercress pasty which became the talk of the event.
Tā moko artists and weavers from throughout the country were hosted inside Whare Tāpere, a building here on-site which they used to demonstrate the making of manu tukutuku kites as well as live tā moko demonstrations for the public. The demonstrations invited some of the most prolific artists of the Māori world to practice their art form and speak to their work. The live tā moko demonstrations even included a practitioner of the uhi – the traditional chisels used to etch moko into the skin.
Finally, the event was concluded by a fantastic Matariki Jojo Super 9's Kapa Haka event which drew participating teams and audiences from all over the country to share in both the NZMACI and to commemorate the passing of the late Waimarie Jojo Waaka.
The winners of the Jojo Super 9's event walked away with cash prizes as well as an invitation from the Huata family to perform at the Māori Music Awards which is hosted annually in Hastings.
The Jojo 9's event marked the end of the NZMACI Takurua event celebrations, while the next season on the NZMACI 50th Celebrations Events Calendar is Kōanga – Spring.

Goodman Derrick Act For Successful Defendant Stephen Lloyd MP
The High Court has recently handed down its judgment in the long running defamation action brought by the former Conservative MP for Eastbourne, Nigel Waterson, against Stephen Lloyd MP, Liberal, and his election agent, Miss Rebecca Carr. The High Court's decision is attached.
Nigel Adams of Goodman Derrick LLP acted for Mr Lloyd and Miss Carr in their successful defence of the defamation claim brought by Mr Waterson.
The case concerned statements made in election leaflets issued by Mr Lloyd and Miss Carr in the run up to the General Election in 2010 – statements which criticised as "a scandal" certain aspects of Mr Waterson's expenses claims which he made while he was in office. Mr Waterson objected to the adverse characterisation of his expenses claims in the leaflets as he stated that his expenses claims were within Parliamentary rules.
Building on the successful appeal to the Court of Appeal made by Mr Lloyd and Miss Carr earlier this year, the High Court found on 26 July that an honest person could have held the view that it was a "scandal" for Mr Waterson to have claimed nearly £70,000 from the taxpayer for a family home 60 miles from his then constituency in Eastbourne. The Court went on to rule that Mr Waterson's claim ought not to proceed to a full trial and gave judgment in the case to Mr Lloyd and Miss Carr.
Nigel Adams, Dispute Resolution partner at Goodman Derrick LLP, commented:
"I am delighted at the outcome for my clients Mr Lloyd MP and Miss Carr. The previous decision in the Court of Appeal was focussed on the meaning of the words complained of by Mr Waterson, now the High Court have made their final judgement which hopefully brings this case to a close for all parties and which demonstrates the Court's policy of supporting open political campaigning in this country. In striking a balance between free speech and protection of the individual, the Court have understood the context in which the statements are made and the mood of the public as regards the subject of MPs expenses. My clients' comments were made in the midst of an election campaign and the Court has supported the right to make challenging statements."

The Nobel Tradition Continues
Robert Koch, Nobel Prize for Medicine, 1905
Koch is considered the founder of modern bacteriology. In the eighteen-eighties, the country doctor discovered the bacilli that caused tuberculosis and cholera. In a letter to Carl Zeiss he wrote, "A large part of my success I owe to your excellent microscopes". In 1904, he received the 10,000th ZEISS objective, a homogeneous immersion system, as a present.
Santiago Ramón y Cajal and Camillo Golgi, Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, 1906
Santiago Ramón y Cajal was a spanish neuroscientist and histologist. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1906 with the Italian physician and scientist Camillo Golgi for their studies of the structure of the nervous system. Cajal used advanced devices of its time, inter alia a Carl Zeiss microscope.
Allvar Gullstrand, Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, 1911
The Swedish ophthalmologist Allvar Gullstrand is considered one of the founders of modern ophthalmology. In 1911 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work, together with Moritz von Rohr, carried out for dioptric apparatus of the eye, with which they made the correction of refractive errors of the eye through the lens on a scientific basis.
Richard Zsigmondy, Nobel Prize for Chemistry, 1925
As a professor at Goettingen, Zsigmondy conducted pioneering research in colloid chemistry. He invented the ultramicroscope in 1903, and two types of membrane filters in 1918 and 1922. Ultramicroscopy after Siedentopf and Zsigmondy makes visible submicroscopic particles whose linear extension is below the microscope's resolution limit.
Frits Zernike, Nobel Prize for Physics, 1953
The Dutch physicist, when experimenting with reflection gratings in 1930, discovered that he could observe the phase position of each ray, and sought to utilize the effect for microscopy. Together with ZEISS he developed the first phase-contrast microscope, the prototype of which was made in 1936. It allowed the examination of living cells without harmful chemical staining.
Manfred Eigen, Nobel Prize for Chemistry, 1967
The molecular biologist and director of the Max Planck Institute in Goettingen developed a method of keeping track of extremely fast chemical and biochemical processes. In a joint effort, Eigen, his Swedish colleague Rudolf Riegler and Carl Zeiss succeeded in 1993 to create ConfoCor, the first commercial fluorescence correlation spectrometer.
Erwin Neher and Bert Sakmann, Nobel Prize for Medicine, 1991
Together with Professor Sakman, he discovered the fundamental mechanism of communication between cells. Their studies included electrophysiological examinations of ion channels by means of the patch clamp technique.
Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, 1995
The German biologist Nüsslein-Volhard researches the genetic control of embryonic development with microscopes from Carl Zeiss. The focus of her scientific work was the question of how the complex organisms of humans and animals develop from an egg cell and what the basic mechanisms are.
Günter Blobel, Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, 1999
Günter Blobel has increased the understanding of how proteins are transported and arrive at their destination. His research has contributed to a better understanding of several hereditary diseases which are due to the lack of protein transport. Günter Blobel works at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute with ZEISS microscopes, e.g. Axiophot and Axiovert.
Ahmed H. Zewail, Nobel Prize for Chemistry, 1999
The winner of the Carl Zeiss Research Award 1992 is working in the field of femtosecond spectroscopy. He made very fast chemical reactions at single molecules directly observable with high spatial and temporal resolution. Zewail was awarded the 1999 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on femtochemistry.
Eric A. Cornell, Nobel Prize for Physics, 2001
Cornell is an American physicist who, along with Carl E. Wieman, was able to synthesize the first Bose–Einstein condensate in 1995. Therefore Cornell, Wieman, and Wolfgang Ketterle shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001. Before he received the Nobel Prize Cornell was awarded the Carl Zeiss Research Award.
Sir Paul M. Nurse, Leland H. Hartwell and Timothy Hunt, Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, 2001
Nurse, Hartwell and Hunt were awarded jointly for their pioneering, fundamental discoveries of critical components and processes which control the cell cycle - the growth and proliferation of cells.
Sydney Brenner, H. Robert Horvitz and John E. Suiston, Nobel Prize for Chemistry, 2002
Brenner, Horvitz and Sulston identified genes in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans that are responsible for the regulation of organ development and programmed cell death (apoptosis).
Craig Mello and Andrew Fire, Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, 2006
Mello is an American biologist and professor of molecular medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, Massachusetts. He was awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, along with Fire, for the discovery of RNA interference. The researchers received the Nobel Prize for work that began in 1998, when they published a paper in the journal Nature detailing how tiny snippets of RNA fool the cell into destroying the gene's messenger RNA (mRNA) before it can produce a protein - effectively shutting specific genes down. Mello has been a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator since 2000.
Harald zur Hausen, Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, 2008
With dogged persistence, physician zur Hausen worked on his theory that viruses can cause cancer – contrary to prevailing doctrines. He received the Nobel Prize for Medicine for proving his theory and thus destroying a medical dogma. Harald zur Hausen worked with a ZEISS transmission electron microscope.
Osamu Shimomura, Martin Chalfie and Roger Tsien, Nobel Prize for Chemistry, 2008
Osamu Shimomura, Professor Emeritus at Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008 for the discovery and development of green fluorescent protein (GFP) with two American scientists: Martin Chalfie of Columbia University and Roger Tsien of the University of California-San Diego. They were jointly awarded for discovering the green fluorescent protein (GFP) and further development for use in cell biology. By fluorescence of GFP, the spatial and temporal distribution of other proteins in living cells, tissues or organisms can be observed directly, thus laying the foundation for modern fluorescence microscopy.
Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, Nobel Prize for Physics, 2010
Sir Andre Geim is a physicist working at the University of Manchester. On 5 October 2010 Geim was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with the Russian physicist Konstantin Novoselov "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene".
Dan Shechtman, Nobel Prize for Chemistry, 2011
Dan Shechtman, 70, is a professor of materials science at the Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel. He was awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for "the discovery of quasicrystals". Quasicrystalline materials could be used in a large number of applications, including the formation of durable steel used for fine instrumentation, and non-stick insulation for electrical wires and cooking equipment.
Sir John B. Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka, Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, 2012
Sir John B. Gurdon, 79, is British evolutionary biologist at the Gurdon Institute in Cambridge, UK. Shinya Yamanaka, 50, is a Japanese physician and stem cell researcher who is currently working for the Kyoto University in Japan and the Gladstone Institute in San Francisco, USA.
They were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2012 "for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent". Stem cells could replace destroyed tissue in future.
Gurdon uses ZEISS confocal microscopes for research. Working with ZEISS laser microdissection systems Yamanaka extracted genetic material free from contamination. Along with him Carl Zeiss Microscopy has created protocols for LCM applications.
Eric Betzig, Stefan W. Hell and William E. Moerner, Nobel Prize for Chemistry, 2014
The break-through work of the three laureates in developing superresolution microscopy methods contributed significantly to groundbreaking scientific research over the past 10 years. With this Nobel Prize the Nobel Committee recognizes the importance of superresolution light microscopy for advances in research and science. ZEISS exclusively licensed PALM, developed jointly by Eric Betzig and Harald Hess, as a superresolution technique for single-molecule localization with the ELYRA PS.1 microscope system.
John O'Keefe, May-Britt Moser and Edvard I. Moser, Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, 2014
The discoveries of John O´Keefe, May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser have solved a problem that has occupied philosophers and scientists for centuries – how does the brain create a map of the space surrounding us and how can we navigate our way through a complex environment? May-Britt and Edvard Moser used various ZEISS light and stereo microscopes for their discovery and ongoing research of the so-called "grid cells" of the nervous system.
