The Grand Canyon is undoubtedly a gorgeous, breathtaking formation. Millions of people visit the Grand Canyon every year. However, anyone who knows anything about geology sees much more than a breathtaking view. Venturing down into the canyon provides an in-depth history of the Earth. It is a highly accessible marvel for geologic reference.
Yet, for those who are interested in geology, but do not wish to traverse the canyon, there is another option. The Trail of Time is an effigy, depicting the essence of what geologists have discovered.
This 1.3-mile trail, located on the South Rim, showcases an informational timeline of how the Earth evolved. Each meter equates to one-million years and at each significant stage in the Earth's development, a rock is placed. These rocks prove the historical significance of the different eras and placards guides tourists through the stages.
This walk back in time starts with the rocks of today and takes visitors on a 1,840-million-year geological journey. This adventure ends with the oldest rock discovered in the Grand Canyon; the Elves Chasm gneiss.
Of course, if visitors prefer, they can also start at the end of the trail and work their way forward in time. If true chronology is what visitors seek, they may start the trail to the east of the Verkamp's Visitor Center. When this is the chosen path, visitors will end their journey with the Kaibab Limestone. It sure does look good for its age. Even with having the title of being the newest rock at the Grand Canyon, it is still 270-million-years old.
This rock was formed a little before the dinosaurs ruled the planet. Kaibab Limestone was formed in shallow, warm waters. Below it, there was another eleven generations of rocks previously formed. Considering that the Grand Canyon itself is only about six-million-years-old, this is an interesting peek into the past.
The Trail of Time was created about eight years ago and continues to be a popular attraction for tourists today. If nothing else, it is a solid reminder of the enormity of the Earth. The depth which the geological history of the planet has created is awe-inspiring. Therefore, the Grand Canyon is pleased to be able to provide such an interesting exhibit to visitors.

On Holiday @ MASS Collective (Castleberry Hill District)
On Holiday @ Erikson Clock | GoatFarm Satellite
"Tides"
"Weekend"
Known today as the Castleberry Hill District, these acres were initially incorporated in 1854 as Atlanta's First Ward. Today, you might recognize this area as one of Atlanta's more hip and artsy neighborhoods.
It's a few blocks from Philips Arena, the home of the Atlanta Hawks. It's home to Flux, Atlanta's premier annual cornucopia d'arts. It hosts a monthly Art Stroll. Its loft-style apartments attract those looking for chic in-town living. But this neighborhood has some stories from its past that you might not expect.
If you're familiar with Civil War history, you'll know that just about the entire city of Atlanta was burned to the ground in the course of that war. But you might not know that Sherman's razing was the second time in two decades that this particular district had been decimated.
Up until the decade prior to the war, the area was called "Snake Nation" — so dubbed because of a proliferation of 'snake oil' salesmen. Snake Nation, consisting of a series of small log and frame houses with saloons and gambling dens, was known to be "devoted almost entirely to the criminal and immoral element". In the 1850s, the area was attacked by a mob of fellow Atlanta citizens who wanted to bring law and a semblance of morality to the area. Burning down the structures of the area, the attackers hoped to flush out the criminal element.
After the Civil War ended, this area was renamed in honor of the land's owner, Daniel Castleberry. Along with the rest of Atlanta, it was not long before the area began to recover from the destruction caused by Sherman's march. The first horse-drawn trolley line in the city ran through the neighborhood in 1871. Railroad lines were an essential element of Atlanta's economy and Castleberry Hill was fortunate to have a track running right through it. Numerous industries populated the area, including two of the nation's largest meat-packing companies. Through the early 1900s and into the second half of the century, the area housed textile factories, plumbing suppliers, dairy equipment warehouses, and various businesses.
In 1985, the Castleberry Hill historic district was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In the 1990s, many warehouses began converting into residential lofts. As new residents and artists populated the area, developer Bruce Gallman called the area "sort of a Southern-fried SoHo."
indieATL and On Holiday visited the Erikson Clock building | A GoatFarm Arts Center Satellite, a large brick warehouse built around the 1930s, backing up to the old rail line. The building has been used by various businesses in its day, and it now houses the arts organization Mass Collective, who use the building as "a collaborative space that thrives on fostering creativity through access to resources." On any given day in this building, you might find it host to plays, art galleries, and creative events. If you look closely in our video, you'll see some of the artwork created by organization members sitting among the nearly century-old architecture.
And since no mention of Atlanta history is complete without mentioning the thriving film industry, here's some films that have been shot in the Castleberry Hill District:

It was the morning of indieATL's first Spaces shoot, and the air was a mixture of stress, excitement, and a lot of dust. I mean a lot of dust. IndieATL met the band, On Holiday, at the Erikson Building, located in beautiful Castleberry Hill, southwest of downtown. Amongst the chaos of setting up instruments, microphones, monitors, and cameras, I managed to steal a few minutes of time with Eric Bouthiller and the rest of the band: Justin Newton, Sean Robert Cuni, and Doug.
indieATL: Now Eric, On Holiday was your brainchild, right? How did you get from This Piano Plays Itself to here?
Eric: Well we still had This Piano Plays Itself going, and I'd started writing some of this stuff on the side. I just kind of wanted to do some more electronic, kind of poppy stuff. Once we broke up, I didn't really do anything with it except record more music. And then my buddy offered us a show during Ohm Park Fest. Then I just kind of needed to put a band together, so I showed Justin a couple songs and he liked them and agreed to play.
iA: Cool. You guys have a very beachy, I dunno, psychedelic pop thing going on in your music. Would it be fair to say that?
Eric: Yeah.
iA: What were some stylistic influences that played into that sound?
Eric: Hmm, well I don't know. I listen to a lot of The Ventures and Dick Dale and that kind of shit. Sam Cook and Frank Sinatra and there's rap as well. So it's just kind of a mixture of stuff that we'd kind of done before and just new stuff that we want to incorporate.
iA: So you guys are fairly young as a band, and by that I mean that On Holiday is a newer project.
E: Yeah, we've only played like four shows.
iA: What's the plan for the future?
Justin: Um, well right we're sort of having fun with it right now. There's no real plans for touring, uh I don't even know if we even have plan for–well, Eric has a lot of stuff built up to release an album, possibly. But right now we're just making videos because, I mean, Eric and I have film degrees and we all have projects that we want to incorporate into the band. We want to release a couple songs at a time and have a video every couple releases, since no one really listens to full albums anymore.

About Zach
Zachariah Johnsen, is a young artist concentrating in watercolor, pen & ink, and mixed media works on paper. His medium of choice is the micron pen and he uses them exhaustively to describe a world of ghouls, monsters, and misfits ' the shady characters in everyday life, but just hidden from normal view. Zach focuses on the more ignored side of life ' on the sides of people and places that visitors rarely see. In Zach's world, most of the people have obvious human/animal hybrids that can't be hidden. The corrupt politician is a hideous beast wielding an ax and smoking a cigar. The Hollywood actress is a washed-up, half rat w/ open sores surrounded by a mob of rabid birds. The family portrait is a gaggle of jellydrop characters and mutated fish creatures.
Zach has lent this fantastic world and his unique style of frenetic pen lines and loose, splashy water-based media to a number of surfaces and media across the industries. He has created original works for print and publications, skateboards, skis, furniture, sneakers, snowboards, clothing and apparel.
Having gained recognition across the United States, Australia, and Europe, Zach is now concentrating on expanding his visual range ' into paintings on canvas and installation works to video and motion graphics.

Super Specialty Hospital (SSH)
Maharshtra Pollution Control Board
Biomedical waste
Nagpur : MPCB clears the decks for kidney transplants at SSH
The Super Specialty Hospital (SSH) may soon open its doors for poor patients requiring kidney transplant.Snehlata Shrivastav | January 05, 2016, 01:24 IST
Sources in the detective department, though, maintained that around 40% of the kidney transplants done in Kolkata involve financial transactions.
Nagpur: The Super Specialty Hospital (SSH) may soon open its doors for poor patients requiring kidney transplant. The hospital administration finally claims to be ready with all the infrastructure and expertise, in the form of nephrologists and urosurgeons, for conducting transplants.
The hospital was waiting for clearance from the Maharshtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) for biomedical waste (BMW) management, which it got last Saturday. Dean of Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) Dr A Niswade told TOI that it has got the clearance letter from the board and forwarded it to the public health department (PHD). "The PHD had withheld permission to start kidney transplant for want of the MPCB clearance. Once PHD issues permission, we will ensure the first transplant happens within a week," he said. OSD of SSH Dr Manish Shrigiriwar too asserted that transplants would begin as soon as the permission comes from PHD.
Principal scientific officer and project leader (technical) of MPCB AR Supate confirmed to TOI that the board had issued a clearance to SSH at a meeting on December 21 and also issued the letter. Assistant secretary (technical) MPCB PK Mirashe too verified the board had given the clearance.
However, the fact remains that MPCB's certificate for disposal of biomedical waste at GMCH had expired in 2012 and the college has got this permission after giving a bank guarantee of Rs5.25 lakh, as per the minutes available on the MPCB website. The new permission means that GMCH is expected to comply with all norms as per the rules of biomedical waste (segregation), operation and maintenance of STP/ETP on regular basis and provide separate BMW storage facility as per guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board and provide STP and ETP for treatment of domestic effluent and trade effluent within least six months. At present, neither GMCH nor SSH have a STP or ETP.
However, the conditional affidavit submitted by the hospital has let the PHD permit transplants to begin. Dr Satish Pawar, PHD director, said he would grant permission within an hour of receiving the permission letter from GMCH. "I have not got the letter from GMCH. But the day I get it, I will issue permission the same day," he said.
Dr Sanjay Kolte, senior urosurgeon from city, who has been appointed as associate professor, was delighted to hear the news of MPCB clearance being granted. "I am ready in spirit. The team will start transplants in the available conditions as soon as we get PHD permission," he said. The other team members include urosurgeon Dr Dhananjay Selukar, also an AP, and nephrologist Dr Umesh Choubey, who has been appointed as professor of nephrology on contract basis.
