Five Star – There's a Brand New World
Niall McMurray	 February 7, 2016	 13 Comments
I've been waiting a long time for a critical reappraisal of Five Star to happen – or at least one that admits that actually, they were pretty bloody amazing. But I don't think it's coming any time soon, do you?
When Five Star's brief but glorious imperial phase kicked off with System Addict in 1986, I was the perfect age: thirteen and a bit years old. I had absolutely no concept of what was cool and what wasn't, I just liked what I liked. And what I liked was what most of the girls in my class at school liked. And they all liked Five Star. And Denise, Doris, Lorraine, Stedman and Delroy just kept releasing brilliant single after brilliant single – after System Addict came Can't Wait Another Minute. And then Find the Time. And then their greatest ever single, Rain or Shine – the song which introduced me to the word 'mañana' (twice) and the idea that you could take your album title (Silk and Steel) from a lyric buried in one of its songs. At the time this was a huge deal for me, though I'm not sure why now. Anyway, by the time their imperial phase ended on a high with The Slightest Touch, the band had amassed a very respectable nine top 20 hits and would bag a further three before they fell completely out of favour.
This once again raises the larger question of why a pop act stops being successful. It's not like you got a memo to tell you to stop liking them. I just remember standing in WH Smith one day inspecting a copy of 1988's Rock the World, mulling it over for a bit and then putting it back. And that behaviour seems to have been repeated across the land. But why? Was it the fact that Five Star had now become a Leather Proposition with a 'rockier' edge and faint whiff of sex about them that had hitherto been entirely absent? Or had my head been turned by other, apparently more sophisticated acts? It's possible, but I was taking home as many Sinitta records as I was Pet Shop Boys – so probably not. I think, basically, that their time had just passed, and that is of course the proper order of things in pop. But none of that should diminish the power of the truly great run of singles they had.
We shouldn't forget the other factor in a pop act's demise is the level of record company investment – and it's clear that when your 1986 album goes quadruple platinum and your 1987 one only goes platinum you're probably going to lose about 75% of the money they're going to spend on you in 1988. Hence the Rock the World campaign seemed to lack some of the expensive polish of its predecessors – and if you look at the video for There's a Brand New World you can see how much they've slashed the budgets.
Thing is, There's a Brand New World is actually dead good. Written solely by Denise, it could only come from 1988 and for me sits nicely alongside Kim Wilde's You Came as a great example of how cheap synthesisers can actually make a record better and somehow more uplifting. Imagine for a second that the Pearson siblings had bagged the support slot on Michael Jackson's Bad World Tour instead of Kim – this would have been a smash (although this means You Came might not have been, so once again we must be careful what we wish for).
Talking of Michael, one of the many accusations that have been levelled at Five Star over the years is that they were a sort of five-headed, cut-price Michael. What's wrong with that? I love a bargain. And while Denise does indeed go the full Michael here with a couple of heavily stylised clearings of the throat at 2:49, Five Star really were so much more than that. And with their trademark synchronised dance steps and spangly uniform jump suits, you could make the case that they had a hand in inventing the whole Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation look.
Anyhow, what I'm really saying is that while we may wait a long time for that critical reappraisal to come, they never needed one in my house.
Entered chart: 17/09/1988
Chart peak: 61
Weeks on chart: 2
Who could sing this today and have a hit? Well now, here's the problem. No one's going to try it are they?
EDIT: A reader has suggested Demi Lovato. I'm down with that suggestion.
Like this article? For the love of all that is good, please tell someone.

God I love your posts. And I still love love love Five Star – tight as a drum, each and every time. By the way, I can quite see Demi Lovato shouting her head off covering this. Big love and thanks for the best written, most uplifting inbox treats Pete

I've updated the post to include your Demi suggestion!
desmondbullen says:
There's a touch of St. Elmo's Fire about this, isn't there? Perfectly acceptable.
Nothing wrong with that 🙂 St Elmo's Fire makes me come over all funny.
I'd forgotten how awesome Five Star were. Gotta love the 80s!
David Tudor says:
Surely 'With every heartbeat' is THE iconic Five Star flop? I think it was the single they were promoting on Saturday Superstore when they were called a rude word live on TV!
Liam J Martin says:
I agree David but Brand New World was their first flop so it's just as valid… still it would have been fun reliving that Going Live! moment
Dave O says:
I totally agree with you! It's the one song that I would cover if I was a popstar!
This has aleady been covered… or rather sampled by Dutch producer Hudson Mohawke. See below.

Great post. I hadn't thought of the connection between the Rock the World phase and Rhythm Nation but you make a good point. Personally, I loved the earlier R&B flavored stuff, like "Let Me Be the One" and "All Fall Down".

Gardaí will implement a plan to tackle it with Revenue.
GARDAÍ AND CUSTOMS officials in Co Mayo have agreed to increase cooperation to combat complaints from the public about suspected petrol stretching.
Petrol stretching involves the dilution of petrol with other fuels such as a kerosene and methanol, a practice that can be damaging to car engines.
The sale of adulterated petrol has become a more acute problem in the west of Ireland and in border regions.
Gardaí in Mayo say they have received "numerous complaints" from the public and are intensifying their investigations to find those responsible.
As part of the plan, gardaí and officers from Revenue have agreed to greater sharing of information with Revenue saying that they have been in contact with fuel sellers.
Random fuel checks will also continue according to gardai with a view to securing prosecutions.
Both An Garda Síochána and Revenue say they are aware of the risks posed to consumers' vehicles, legitimate businesses and the exchequer by all forms of fuel fraud.
They are advising motorists to take care where they source their petrol and report any suspicions concerning adulterated fuel which may have damaged their engines.

The Recording Laws of the United States
Thomas M. Cooley, University of Michigan Law School
Of the securities,provided by law for the protection of property, perhaps none is more important than the registration of land titles. We put aside, very early, the old English notion that the best evidence of title was the possession of the title deeds, and adopted a system which, in theory, proposed to place in a public office, accessible to everyone, a record of the titles to real estate, by which every man might safely buy or safely accept encumbrances. Speaking generally now of the system, the theory seems to be nearly perfect. Every instrument affecting the title to lands must be executed in the presence of a public officer, who is empowered by law to authenticate the act, and it is only on his certificate, given after the observance of all due formalities, that the instrument can go upon record. The record is made up by another public officer, who is permitted to record nothing which is defective, and who shall carefully note the day, hour, and minute when any instrument is presented for record. To insure the prompt recording, the grantee or encumbrancee is notified that his unrecorded instrument shall be invalid as against any subsequent deed or encumbrance which a bona fide taker may receive from the same party, and place first upon record; and as this penalty seems to render it reasonably sure that there will be no needless delay, it is supposed the record will show the actual condition of the title, except in cases of gross neglect. Those cases the law declines to provide for; assuming that it is better that parties failing to record their titles shall run all risks of loss, than that the public record shall be an unsafe reliance. We therefore find this record generally trusted, as if it were something almost infallible; and titles are bought and mortgages taken in reliance upon the mere certificate of the recorder that the grantor or mortgagor is owner.

The Council of State Government's Midwest has announced that Representative Troy L. Waymaster of Bunker Hill has been selected to participate in the Bowhay Institute for Legislative Leadership Development (BILLD), which is a leadership program for legislators from 11 states, including Kansas, and provinces from Canada.
Representative Waymaster is one of three legislators from the Kansas Legislature that has been selected to attend the leadership program this summer.
The Bowhay Institute is the only leadership training program designed exclusively for Midwestern legislators. The program focuses on developing legislators with the necessary skills to become effective leaders, informed decision-makers and astute policy analysts. The program offers a unique opportunity for lawmakers to improve their leadership skills and explore the issues of the day with nationally renowned scholars, professional development experts, and legislative leaders and colleagues from across the region.
Three legislators are selected from the following states and Canadian provinces to participate in this legislative program: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and from the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario. The legislative leadership program is held in Madison, Wisconsin, and will be conducted this year from August 21-25, 2015.
Every summer, 37 lawmakers from the 11 member states of the Midwestern Legislative Conference and its affiliate members gather in Madison, Wisconsin for a unique five-day educational experience. In addition to its focus on leadership training, such as conflict resolution and negotiation, BILLD includes policy sessions on issues such as education, corrections, health care and economic development, as well as seminars on media relations, priority management and consensus building.
The BILLD program is conducted by the Council of State Government's Midwestern Office in cooperation with The Robert M. La Follette School of Public Affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The program takes place each summer on the university's campus. Fellowships are awarded on a competitive, non-partisan basis by a Steering Committee of legislators from the region.
The other legislators from the Kansas Legislature that were also awarded Fellowships along with Representative Waymaster are Representatives Melissa Rooker and Nancy Lusk, both from Johnson County.
Representative Waymaster represents the 109th Kansas House District, which includes the counties of Barton, Jewell, Lincoln, Osborne, Rush, Russell and Smith.

Конденса́тор (в теплотехнике) ( — уплотняю, сгущаю) — теплообменный аппарат, теплообменник, в котором осуществляется процесс конденсации, процесс фазового перехода теплоносителя из парообразного состояния в жидкое за счёт отвода тепла более холодным теплоносителем.

Принцип действия
В конденсатор обычно поступают перегретые пары теплоносителя, которые охлаждаются до температуры насыщения и, конденсируясь, переходят в жидкую фазу. Для конденсации пара необходимо отвести от каждой единицы его массы теплоту, равную удельной теплоте конденсации. В зависимости от охлаждающей среды (теплоносителя) конденсаторы могут быть разделены на следующие типы:
с водяным охлаждением,
с водо-воздушным (испарительным) охлаждением,
с воздушным охлаждением,
с охлаждением кипящим холодильным агентом в конденсаторе-испарителе,
с охлаждением технологическим продуктом.
Выбор типа конденсатора зависит от условий применения.

Применение
Конденсаторы применяются на тепловых и атомных электростанциях для конденсации отработавшего в турбинах пара. При этом на каждую тонну конденсирующегося пара приходится около 50 тонн охлаждающей воды. Поэтому потребность ТЭС и особенно АЭС в воде очень велика — до 600 тысяч м³/час. В маловодных районах охлаждение конденсаторов турбин может производиться воздухом (примером могут служить воздушно-конденсационные установки на Разданской ГРЭС, Армения), однако это ухудшает КПД турбин, вследствие повышения температуры конденсации.
В турбинах с противодавлением конденсатор отсутствует — в этом случае весь отработанный пар поступает на производственные нужды.

В холодильных установках конденсаторы используются для конденсации паров хладагентов, например, фреона. В химической технологии конденсаторы используют для получения чистых веществ (дистиллятов) после перегонки или ректификации. Принцип конденсации успешно применяется также для разделения смеси паров различных веществ, так как их конденсация происходит при различных температурах.

Разновидности
По принципу теплообмена конденсаторы разделяются на смешивающие (конденсаторы смешения) и поверхностные. В смешивающих конденсаторах водяной пар непосредственно соприкасается с охлаждающей водой, а в поверхностных пары рабочего тела отделены стенкой от охлаждающего теплоносителя. Поверхностные конденсаторы разделяются по следующим особенностям:
 по направлению потоков теплоносителя: прямоточные, противоточные и с поперечным потоком теплоносителей;
 по количеству изменений направления движения теплоносителя — на одноходовые, двухходовые и др.;
 по количеству последовательно соединённых корпусов — одноступенчатые, двухступенчатые и др.
 по конструктивному исполнению: кожухотрубные, пластинчатые и др.

Смешивающие конденсаторы

В смешивающем конденсаторе тепло- и массообменный процесс происходит путём прямого смешения сред. Охлаждающая вода разбрызгивается в пространстве смешивающего конденсатора. Пар конденсируется на поверхности капель воды и стекает вместе с ней в поддоны, откуда откачивается конденсатными насосами. Взаимное расположение потоков пара и воды может быть параллельным, противоточным  или поперечноточным. При противотоке теплообмен более эффективен. Наиболее распространены пароводяные струйные аппараты, использующие струйные инжекторы. Поскольку в конденсат попадает охлаждающая вода с растворённым в ней воздухом и другими примесями, такая смесь не может быть использована для современных паровых котлов, которые предъявляют высокие требования к подготовке питательной воды. Поэтому смешивающие конденсаторы применяются либо в малых паровых машинах, либо в системах охлаждения с т. н. «сухими градирнями», где роль охладителей выполняют закрытые радиаторы. Поэтому охлаждающая вода, проходя через радиаторы, мало загрязняется и может быть присоединена к потоку конденсата.

Поверхностные конденсаторы
В поверхностных конденсаторах нет прямого контакта конденсата с охлаждающей водой, поэтому они применяются для любых систем прямого и оборотного охлаждения, в том числе и с охлаждением морской водой.

В корпусе 1 поверхностного конденсатора установлены трубные доски 2, в отверстия которых завальцованы тонкостенные трубки 3. Охлаждающая поверхность конденсатора образуется совокупностью поверхностей трубок, называемых «трубными пучками». Трубки выполняются из латуни или нержавеющей стали, они имеют, как правило, диаметр 24-28 мм и толщину 1-2 мм. Места вальцовки — основной путь попадания примесей в конденсат. Пространство между трубными досками и боковыми стенками конденсатора 4 представляют собой водяные камеры 5 и могут быть разделены перегородками на несколько отделений. Охлаждающая циркуляционная вода подводится под напором через патрубок 6 к нижнему отсеку водяной камеры, проходит по трубкам в поворотную камеру, проходит по другому пучку трубок и удаляется через патрубок 7. При этом вода нагревается примерно на 10 °C. Такой конденсатор называется двухходовым. Могут быть также одноходовые, трёхходовые и даже четырёхходовые конденсаторы. Одноходовые конденсаторы применяются, как правило, в судовых установках, где увеличение расхода охлаждающей воды не имеет практического значения, а также в конденсаторах турбоустановок АЭС, где это диктуется технико-экономическими соображениями.

Пар входит в конденсатор через горловину 8 цилиндра низкого давления турбины, попадает на холодную поверхность трубок 3, конденсируется, стекает вниз и скапливается в сборнике конденсата 9, откуда откачивается конденсатными насосами. Бо́льшая часть пара (свыше 99 %) конденсируется в т. н. зоне массовой конденсации, куда проникает сравнительно мало воздуха. Температура насыщенного пара не превышает обычно 50-60 °C. В зоне охлаждения парциальное давление пара меньше и температура паровоздушной смеси ниже. В этой зоне возможно переохлаждение конденсата, что неблагоприятно сказывается на эффективности установки в целом. Зону охлаждения отделяют перегородкой.

При конденсации в паровой части конденсатора образуется разрежение, то есть давление становится ниже атмосферного. При этом через неплотности в корпусе и через места вальцовки трубок проникает наружный воздух и воздух, растворённый в воде (примерно 0,05-0,1 % массового расхода пара). Попадание кислорода в конденсат влечёт возможность коррозии оборудования. Кроме того, примесь воздуха значительно ухудшает теплотехнические характеристики конденсатора, так как коэффициент теплоотдачи при конденсации пара составляет несколько тысяч кВт/(м²°С), а для паровоздушной смеси с большим содержанием воздуха — всего несколько десятков кВт/(м²°С). Воздух отсасывается пароструйным или водоструйным эжектором через патрубок 10. Так как воздух в конденсаторе смешан с паром, то отсасывать приходится паровоздушную смесь.
Попадание в конденсат сырой охлаждающей воды приводит к солевому загрязнению пароводяного тракта, поэтому химический состав конденсата необходимо контролировать. На электростанциях после конденсатных насосов устраивают системы очистки конденсата.

Для расчёта теплотехнических свойств конденсатора используются заводские характеристики конденсаторов. Коэффициент теплопередачи в поверхностном конденсаторе зависит от паровой нагрузки, диаметра и чистоты трубок, скорости воды в трубках, числа ходов и других факторов. Коэффициент теплопередачи резко падает при снижении паровой нагрузки в связи с неравномерностью процесса распространения пара. Для определения коэффициента теплопередачи часто используют эмпирические зависимости, полученные Львом Давыдовичем Берманом (1903—1998), долгие годы проработавшим в ВТИ.

Эксплуатация конденсаторов

В конденсаторах турбин ТЭЦ устраивают отдельный встроенный пучок, который в летнее время используется для охлаждения, а в зимнее время — для предварительного подогрева сетевой воды. При этом система охлаждения может быть полностью отключена, так как на ТЭЦ зимой в конденсатор попадает небольшое количество пара — в основном он используется для теплофикации.

В процессе работы поверхность трубок конденсатора, в которые поступает вода из водоёмов (рек, прудов, озёр и т. д.), загрязняется биологическими и минеральными отложениями, что ухудшает экономичность работы турбин. Во избежание обрастания водяного тракта биологическими организмами охлаждающую воду обычно хлорируют. В замкнутых системах охлаждения целесообразно проводить «продувку», то есть добавление свежей воды. Фильтрация охлаждающей воды, как правило, неэкономична из-за огромного расхода воды. Большинство современных конструкций конденсаторов позволяет производить механическую очистку части трубок без перерыва работы с отключением некоторых пучков. Широко применяются также системы очистки конденсаторов эластичными шариками из пористой резины, которые прогоняются по трубкам напором воды.

Incoming Speaker Nancy Pelosi added three Californians to the House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday in a move that could significantly boost the state's share of federal dollars.
The new lawmakers on the panel will be Reps. Adam Schiff, D-Pasadena; Barbara Lee, D-Oakland; and Mike Honda, D-San Jose.
Their addition brings the number of Californians on the 66-person spending committee to seven, a ratio that state officials said is more in line with the Golden State's ratio in Congress.
Schiff, the only new Southern California lawmaker on the committee, vowed to be a careful steward. In taking the position, he will relinquish spots on the House judiciary and international relations committees.
He also pledged to add his voice to his local congressional colleagues on the committee, to make sure residents of California and the Southland get their fair share of federal dollars.
The Democratic Steering Committee, which makes the final decisions about new additions to key House panels, added 10 lawmakers to the spending committee.
It remains unclear how many people will ultimately sit on the committee, though, since ratios of Democrats to Republicans have not yet been determined.
Schiff said his appointment does not necessarily mean any more Republicans will leave the committee.
"There may have been enough Republican losses in the election so that no one currently on the committee will need to step down," he said.
Current Californians on the panel include Reps. Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Los Angeles; Sam Farr, D-Santa Cruz; Jerry Lewis, R-Redlands; and John Doolittle, R-Roseville.
Tim Ransdell, president of the California Institute for Federal Policy Research, said the boost makes sense.
He noted that California's 34 House Democrats make up 15 percent of the Democratic caucus members, but even with the new additions they won't quite make up 15 percent of the spending panel.
Pelosi spokesman Drew Merrill said the incoming Speaker, who represents San Francisco, has always fought for San Francisco's and California's fair share of federal funding.
"Her commitment to that will not change as speaker," Merrill said.

Recent Young Architects Program winner to visit Stuckeman School
Dream the Combine's "Hide & Seek" project, which won the 2018 MoMA PS1/MoMA Young Architects Program.
Image: Pablo Enriquez
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Dream the Combine, the winner of the prestigious and ultra-competitive Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) PS1/MoMA Young Architects Program (YAP) in 2018, will visit Penn State on Feb. 19 as part of the Stuckeman School's Lecture and Exhibit Series. Jennifer Newsom, co-founder of the firm, will present "Lacuna" at 6 p.m. in the Stuckeman Family Building Jury Space.
Established by Newsom and Tom Carruthers in Minneapolis in 2013, Dream the Combine's work consists of site-specific large-scale public art installations that play with reflectivity and capitalize on the potential of the mirror. The duo works to investigate the conceptual overlaps in art, architecture and cultural theory through structures that disrupt assumed dichotomies and manipulate the boundary between real and illusory space.

The MoMA PS1/MoMA YAP challenges emerging architects to design a creative, sustainable outdoor installation in the MoMA PS1 courtyard, which is located in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens, New York. The firm's entry for the 2018 competition created a responsive, kinetic environment that featured nine intersecting elements arrayed across the entirety of the courtyard. Titled "Hide & Seek," the installation consisted of moveable mirrors that offered surprising and dislocating perspectives of the courtyard and the crowd looking into the spaces.
The firm's work has been published widely by The New York Times, Log, Metropolis Magazine, Architect, Architectural Record, The Architects Newspaper and Dezeen.
Newsom and Carruthers, who are partners in business and in life, met while pursuing their professional master of architecture degrees at the Yale School of Architecture. Their latest installation is "Lure," which was recently on view at MadArt Studio in Seattle.
In addition to practicing with Dream the Combine, Newsom is an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota School of Architecture.

Mutya ng Pilipinas and Star Magic talent Koreen Medina won third runner-up at the recently concluded Miss Intercontinental pageant in Magdeburg, Germany last December 14, 2013, Saturday.
In an exclusive interview with Push.com.ph, Koreen expressed how proud she is to win the title and to represent the Philippines on the international stage. "Super proud po ako of course that I have given an honor to our country kasi it wasn't easy for Asians na makapasok sa mga European competitions na like that po, iba 'yung laban eh, iba pa rin 'yung laban so sobrang nakaka-proud sa sarili na ito po 'yung narating ko, na pasok pa rin ang Philippines sa top five," she remarked.
Koreen shared that her perseverance and humility brought her the victory that she is enjoying right now. "They told me that I have this determination despite na I'm just 18. Then 'yung sabi po nila sa akin na I am super easy to talk with and sobrang nagustuhan rin nila na I'm humble, super don po ako natutuwa kasi of course dito sa Philippines pa lang sinasanay na kami as artist na be humble, 'yun bang makakausap mo talaga ng maayos so parang 'yun siguro din ang naging advantage ko na as an artist alam ko rin po 'yung about the industry din," she said.
Koreen also won the Continental Queen of Asia and Oceania prize in the pageant.


Charles Dickens's classic story, A Christmas Carol, is adapted for the stage by Leslie Bricusse in this joyous family musical.
It's Christmas in Victorian London, a time of peace and goodwill to all men. All men, that is, except the miserly moneylender, Ebeneezer Scrooge, who refuses to join in the festivities. But on Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by a succession of ghosts, who try to make him change his ways before it is too late!
Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, Guys and Dolls is based on the tales of Damon Runyan and set in 1950s New York.
Gambler Nathan Detroit is trying to set up the biggest craps game in New York, while avoiding the authorities and his long-time fiancee, Miss Adelaide. Fellow gambler Sky Masterson might help, but he's got his eye on straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown. Packed with great tunes, including "Luck Be A Lady Tonight", "A Bushel And A Peck" and "Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat", Guys and Dolls is a toe-tapping treat.
Based on a popular American comic strip, Annie is one of the world's best-loved family-friendly musicals, with such classic songs as "Tomorrow" and "It's a Hard Knock Life".
Little orphan Annie is plucky and positive, despite living in a harsh orphanage in 1930s New York. In a series of fun-filled adventures, she escapes the hard-knock life of the orphanage, befriends a stray pooch, is adopted by the billionaire Oliver Warbucks, and even wins the heart of the President - and the audience - foiling the plans of the nasty villains along the way.

Maybe, sorta, kinda, possibly too much fanfic? It could be possible?!?!
While on a long drive today, I found myself trying to make every song on the CD player into a fanfic/fanvid. It was quite silly! Some of the songs didn't match any of my favorite pairings. But then some songs had one pairing in the first verse and a totally different pairing in the second verse.
After all that imagining, I'm glad my car found its own way to my destination, because I was basically off in fanfic land! Alas, I'm not actually going to make any of the fanvids, but I likely will replay a couple (dozen) times in my poor pitiful brain!
I'm just glad the other drivers on the road didn't know what was REALLY getting my attention!
My one experiment in making a fanvid didn't go very far, because I couldn't find the video footage I THOUGHT I remembered. It was a great scene, but apparently only in my dreams. *sigh* The scene was even G-rated, and it STILL didn't really exist.

Professor Flint Making An Appearance At the Fossil Open Day 2018!
Professor Flint is a singing palaeontologist with a story to tell and he will be telling it at the 2018 Capricorn Caves Fossil open day!
It is our story as Australians. It is the prehistoric story of this ancient land from the very first signs of life, to now.
It is a story that includes the first evidence of an animal with a head and a brain from the hills of the Flinders Ranges… Our own amazing Australian dinosaurs found amongst the flatlands of Winton… And the giant wallabies and wombats, scissor-toothed possums, and other members of the mega-fauna family in such places as the Capricorn Caves.
Professor Flint has been digging up fossils since he first found an old fossilised sea-shell on the sands of a Dundee beach in Scotland.
Since arriving in Australia as a young child, he has come to know, understand and help tell the extraordinary tale of Australia's prehistoric past through tunes, stories and performances across Australia.
The Prof has released two albums of tunes, "Dinosaurs Down Under", and "Dinosaurs Amongst Us!" Prof Flint is delighted to be able to return to Capricorn Caves for it's annual Fossil Open Day, having visited and explored it's delightful and fascinating fossil history late in 2017.
If you would like to learn more about our Fossil Open day you can see the event here on Facebook
–> https://www.facebook.com/events/505036596557803/
Its a free event where children are able to dig, sort & sieve for real fossils, there will be a range of activities for children as well as entertainment & giveaways
Children are free on fossil & Cathedral cave tours all day, but ensure you book to avoid missing out!
There is also a sausage sizzle with all proceeds going to the Caves rural fire service

UK Sport at Farnborough Air Show
Westley Mark UK Sport Partnership Engineering Graduate 3 December 2018
When starting the UK Sport graduate placement, I quickly learnt how important the promotion and publicity aspects of the placement are. This was further apparent when we were asked to put together an exhibition stand for the 2018 Farnborough International Air show.
Having never previously worked at an air show I was unaware just how much effort is required behind the scenes to ensure the days run smoothly. Along with my UK Sport graduate counterpart, Rebecca Carrahar, we were able to organise the UK Sport exhibition across the whole weekend, ensuring that everything ran smoothly, from stand manners to exhbit items, to lunch breaks! I must point out at this point that Rebecca was fantastic, she left no stone unturned and without her contacts based in Farnborough the whole weekend would have been much more difficult!
With a big event on the horizon we felt that it was time to introduce a new exhibition model into the partnership. The current models we have, such as the Taekwondo vests and VR headsets have been excellent in previous events, but it's always good to keep refreshing the identity of the partnership to ensure people remain engaged with the new sports that we are working on. With this in mind we decided to create an exhibition item that would demonstrate work we have done with numerous sports, such as bobsleigh and wheelchair racing. A miniature wind tunnel seemed an ideal fit for what we wanted. It enables people to understand the work that takes place at Warton without needing to come on site, and provides an example of how the technology we are using to design and build fighter jets, is exactly the same for how we test sporting equipment. In the week building up to air show, the final assembly of the wind tunnel was completed, and after a mad rush to get the documentation signed off, we were good to go!
Having never been to Farnborough, I was completely blown away by the scale of the event. It's a major event for any aviation fan, but even more so for BAE Systems. Although I am slightly biased, of all of the exhibition halls and stands that I was able to get around across the weekend, the BAE Systems' hall was by far superior! (The unveiling on the Monday of the concept for future fighter, Tempest, helped massively!). Friday was labelled 'futures day', and as such saw 5000 school children on site, eager to explore the variety of interactive exhibits across the site. This was a great chance to engage with STEM students, many of whom will be considering careers within engineering. Having done numerous such things when I was in school, it was rewarding for me to be on the other side, finding myself explaining the basics of aerodynamics in the hope that it inspires the next generation of engineers.
Across the weekend we were joined by numerous UK Sport graduates from the past 18 months, as well as those that hope to work on the partnership in the future. It was interesting to understand the projects that each of them have worked on, particularly those that are now in the process of being publicised, as I've relaised that it's difficult to keep up with the ongoing list of sports that we've worked with! Learning the back story of a project helps to understand how a project first came about and what steps were taken in order to develop it into something tangible.
On the Friday we welcomed Fiona White and Naomi Stenhouse, of UK Sport and the English Institute of Sport respectively. Seeing as they are our main contacts within each organisation, it was good for them to be able to experience the air show, and understand how we promote the work that we do with their organisations. The new wind tunnel model was a big success, and gave us a good chance to outline improvements we aim to make in the future.

Halifax's Bold Move
In the 1960s, Halifax was struck with the same idea as Toronto: build a major commuter highway through the lower downtown core to enable cars to transverse the city. In fact, the designers of the Cogswell Street Interchange were the same engineers who designed downtown Toronto's Gardiner Expressway—and we all know the outcome of that experiment.
The Cogswell interchange currently occupies more than 16 acres of land north of and adjacent to the downtown core. The current series of over and underpasses effectively blocks the city's north end from the downtown. The interchange design eliminated the old grid pattern of city blocks, reduced the ability to walk from one end of the downtown to the other, and made the auto king of the roadway.
Current Halifax city-planning protocols call for the reintegration of the north end of the city with the downtown, effectively turning back the clock to earlier times when the north end was a vital part of the cultural and business heart of the city. The erection of the Cogswell Interchange cut off these vital links, and as a direct result, the north end of the city skidded into a long-term decline.
The grand vision
The grand vision for the redevelopment includes the complete removal of a tangled web of roads and ramps, linking at least four streets (including Barrington and Lower Water streets and Rannie Drive) and redeveloping the brownfield site with a grand boulevard lined with walkable green spaces, bike lanes, a major transit hub, extension of the harbour district heating system, commercial redevelopment, and a mixture of apartment and condo buildings. The design completed to date is merely indicative; however, Paul Kent, the outgoing CEO of the Greater Halifax Partnership, said this opportunity was a profound change in a city that has seen far too little growth in the past 20 years.
The entire site, fortunately, falls outside of the restrictive Halifax View planes guidelines, a controversial plan that protects the view of the city's harbour. In an interview, Halifax mayor Mike Savage called this project "a unique opportunity to correct a piece of infrastructure that is a remnant of the 1960s and 1970s transportation plan that separated north and south Halifax. Imagine what could be there: a reconnection of the city. This project makes a lot of things possible including being the gateway to the north end of the city."
Savage also noted the location is a good place for higher buildings. Without being specific, however, he noted that the site is outside of the view planes and therefore has only city-planning restrictions as outlined in HRM By Design , a detailed city-planning document that was completed in 2012. He said he's in favour of densifying the area and indicated he likes height to achieve this goal rather than lower structures. He wants the project to free ground space for pedestrian access, but he also wants to make it "interesting." This would include innovation in design, making the new space accessible to a variety of people to live, work, shop, and play.
Savage has identified that risks associated with construction and final development should be passed onto future private-sector partners, who are better able to handle these types of risks than the city.
In the initial phase, the Cogswell plan calls for the complete demolition of the current roadbeds, at an estimated cost of about $45 million. The roads will be realigned with the demolition and road realignment expenses being in part recouped by the sale of the developable portion of the lands and associated development charges coupled with future property-tax revenues.
Jane Fraser, director of operations support with the City of Halifax, said she is excited that city leaders, including the mayor and councillors, are focusing on the downtown core. She noted that Halifax leaders are engaged in redefining Halifax as the Atlantic leader in economic, industrial, and cultural sectors.
She noted that council has been very methodical in its approach, letting both factual and technical issues lead the project-planning process. City council has agreed on a set of goals, but want to let the design come from the development community, with the only proviso being that city-planning guidelines be followed, without council being overly proscriptive. Fraser indicated the project should allow for the renewed plan to allow for a "signature gateway" linking the downtown core with the north end, the Naval Dockyards, two harbour bridges, and the Irving Shipyards. (The Irving Shipyards have been awarded a $25-billion, multi-decade federal contract to build the Canadian Navy's new frigate fleet. This contract is expected to employ thousands of skilled workers.)
The realignment will also open access to the harbour walkways, Casino Nova Scotia, the Purdy's Wharf office complex, and the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel, which currently have difficult access and egress roadways due to the blockages erected to support the interchange. Realigning the road systems will drastically improve accessibility to these major buildings for business, recreation, and tourism purposes. It will also further re-engage the city with the working waterfront, improving quality of life for those living and working downtown.
Halifax renaissance
Currently, Halifax is in the midst of a renaissance in the form of a building boom in the downtown core. After 20 years of few projects other than apartment and condo developments, redevelopment is happening in the commercial area at the Royal Bank building, which is planned to be demolished, and the CIBC and TD complexes. The face of downtown Halifax is rapidly changing.
The recent opening of the new Halifax Library on a former parking lot on Spring Garden Road, which holds an award-winning design with advanced environmental-design features, is helping to redefine the city core. As well, the construction of the estimated $500-million Nova Centre, which is underway at the heart of the Argyle Street entertainment and business district, is the largest integrated development project in Nova Scotia's history.
Andy Fillmore, VP of planning and development with the Waterfront Development Corp., led the public consultation process for the Cogswell Street Interchange project. Formerly a city planner—with experience in many large projects, including stints as the project manager for the development of HRM By Design in Halifax and the Big Dig transit mega-project in Boston—said this project "has been a fascinating thing to be involved in." The vision and strategy includes collaboration across both the private and public sectors, which he believes is critical to success. Ultimately, he wants to get people back on the street enjoying a vibrant cityscape.
The total Cogswell project area encompasses about 16 acres. Of this total, about six are required for road realignment, public-transit facilities, bike paths, and pedestrian walkways. The city has identified a desire for parkland, which could encompass up to an additional four acres, leaving a minimum of six for private-sector development.
How this remaining land will be developed is unknown, with the city wanting to allow the private sector to play a major role in determining the density and ultimate mix of building types. However, the city would like to see more people living in the downtown core and recognizes this will require the provision of services like schools and recreation facilities. These supports have largely disappeared over the past 40 years due to declining population density in the older parts of the city.
The city expects this project to build out over the next six to 12 years, giving time first to complete the roadway demolition, realign the road network, and complete the underground infrastructure improvements required to support these ambitious plans. But as is now clear, Halifax is in a building renaissance—and it is now time for the city to take its place amongst the major Canadian urban centres.

At the moment of writing, the experts at BMW Jorssen made a swift and expert repair and brought again a broad smile on our face: we are enjoying again undisturbed roadster pleasure in this magnificent summer weather we are having presently.
We suspected rightly some troubles with the master and/or slave cylinder, and we were rather optimistic in believing that bleeding of the system might solve the problems, but alas, when all hydraulic pressure is lost in the system, most of the time more serious things are amiss.
The two brothers Wilhelm and Georg Schaeffler who founded in 1946 INA in Herzogenaurach, took over FAG in 2002 and their firm now has grown to a worldwide giant – the second largest producer of needle bearings in the world – and manufactures amongst other things precision parts like needle bearings, hydraulic valve lifters, hydraulic variable valve timing systems. Did you know that the London Millennium Wheel (also called the London Eye), runs on two massive frictionless bearings made by FAG?
In 2003 LuK (clutches), INA and FAG form the "Schaeffler Group". It is actually the largest German company which is still exclusively family owned.
But back to our BMW Z3. Because of the leakage, it was feared that some oil would have leaked on the clutch, but I never noticed anything indicating this, and indeed, fortunately the clutch functions perfectly and very progressively.
When the slave cylinder is removed, (see the two loose bolts) one sees clearly the hole where the cylinder is lodged, and where it pushes the clutch in open position with its pin. When mounting this cylinder, one has to be careful that this pin is perfectly centered.
The repair bill was very reasonable indeed, with only 20,8 Euros charged for actually removing the old and mounting the new pump, with most of the work – costing almost 89 Euros – being involved in bleeding the hydraulic clutch system. The FAG slave cylinder itself set us back some 129 Euros. We indicate here that these prices here are ex VAT, so 21 % VAT had to be added.
Of course, the hydraulic brake fluid – DOT4 spec- was replaced, as the hydraulic system of the clutch takes its hydraulic fluid from the brake reservoir, and the people at Jorssen was even were so meticulous to also top up coolant and windscreen spray fluid reservoirs.
The car was repaired in a day, so needless to say we were very pleased with the very swift service.
We will keep you posted, dear reader, on the further life of our Z3, and in the meantime we plan to contact the press officer in our country of the Schaeffler Group, with some questions about service life and eventual maintenance of their FAG clutch slave cylinders… we are very curious indeed!


Home Gardening Flower Gardening How to Grow Rose Plant in Containers?
Rose Flower is a symbol of beauty and romance, and many people want to grow rose plant at home or in their garden. Some rose plants need large space, as compared to others. However, we can grow any species of Rose in a container and it is a Good news for the gardeners with limited garden space.
Pick container as per the need of Rose Plant. Miniature roses thrive in a 12-inch (30.5-cm) container, while floribundas and hybrid tea roses need 15 inches (38 cm). Larger hybrids and tree roses need to be in containers measuring 18 inches (45.7 cm) or larger. One thing should keep in mind that the container must have good drainage.
If you change the position or area of your Rose plant then use a light container. A container made of plastic will probably be the easiest to re-position.
The best manure for the rose plant is organic fertilizer such as Dung Manure, Vermicompost, Compost. Roses need a lot of nutrients, and bonemeal can provide the fertile conditions your roses need to produce many blooms. Bright Sunlight is important for Roses. You can feed dung manure in a rose tree in 15 days, if you use more chemical compost then the rose plant gets spoiled.
Although there are thousands of species of Rose Plant, such as Indian Rose, English Rose, Dutch Rose, Australian Rose, etc. But for pot, you can grow chinese rose plant very easily.
The most dangerous diseases in the roses are blackspot, powdery mildew, etc. On the rose, fungus diseases are very high, therefore, from time to time, using fungul pesticide should be used in roses.
Position the container in a location that receives full sun. Roses need at least 7 hours of sun daily to thrive.
Water your roses daily, preferably in the early morning. On very hot days, water the container twice a day—once in the morning and once more in the evening.
Check the moistness of the soil before re-watering. Stick your finger down into the top inch (2.5 cm) of the soil. If potting medium feels dry that far down, your rose is in immediate need of watering.
Avoid wetting the foliage during watering, as this invites diseases.
Spread mulch over the surface of the soil. An inch of mulch, especially in the form of small bark chips, will hold the moisture in the container and prevent it from evaporating out. Mulch also helps discourage weed growth. Remove the mulch at the beginning of the rainy season; as at that time, the soil should be allowed to evaporate in between the showers.
You may use a balanced liquid fertilizer or a slow release granular fertilizer once every two weeks from that point on. Don't forget to water 6 hours before and immediately after fertilizing.
If roses are grafted, sucker growth will be a common problem.The best way to remove a sucker is to dig down to the root where the sucker is originating and tear it off where it emerges. Cutting suckers off from a higher level only encourages regrowth of several suckers where there once was one. Don't forget to use gloves, while handling suckers.
Prune your roses a month before the flowering season, from the second year of planting onwards. The aim of pruning is to maintain the attractive shape of your rose and to encourage good flowering. Pruning is not a precise science and you can decide its extent according to the plant growth and the desired size. Generally speaking, pruning to 1/3rd to 2/3rd of the original size is recommended, for vigorously growing to moderately growing plants respectively. Make a sloping cut half an inch or less above an outward facing bud, using a clean and sharp instrument and paint the cut end with an antifungal paste to avoid Dieback disease. The cut should slant away from the bud. Also, remove all dead, dying, thin or weak canes while pruning.
Offer container roses a tablespoon of Epsom salts each spring. Sprinkle the salts around the base of the plant. This provides an extra dose of magnesium to spur foliage growth.
