Wixom Real Estate
Wixom is a city that lies in the borders of northwest Novi and south west Commerce Township in Oakland County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 13,498 at the 2010 census. The city was home to the former Wixom Assembly Plant, which produced the Lincoln LS, the Ford Thunderbird, the Ford GT, and the Lincoln Town Car. The plant closed its doors on May 31, 2007.
Wixom is home to several production and manufacturing businesses, including Trijicon, a leading manufacturer of night gun sights and night telescopic sights; Discraft, a leading manufacturer of flying discs for disc sports games like Ultimate; the U.S. headquarters of spark plug manufacturer NGK; Majic Window, the worlds largest distributor of fiberglass replacement home windows; MAC Valves, Inc., a manufacturer of pneumatic valves used in the automotive and packaging industries, and Foster Specialty Floors the state's largest and oldest sports flooring contractor.
The settlement of Wixom dates back to the 1830s. The establishment of Wixom as a place started in the early 1870s when the Holly, Wayne and Monroe Railroad was constructed through the area. Willard Wixom platted land on either side of the railroad near the Novi and Commerce Township border. The construction of a railroad depot and the naming of the area as Wixom fixed Wixom as a destination.
The village of Wixom was incorporated in the 1950s following the announcement of plans to construct the Wixom Assembly Plant in Novi Township. Prior to that time, Wixom was an unincorporated place. The village borders included portions of both Novi and Commerce Townships. Efforts by the remainder of Novi Township to incorporate as a village prompted the newly established village of Wixom to incorporate as a city. The city largely follows the borders of the village although a small area of parkland on the north side of the city was annexed from Commerce Township in the 1970s.

Shortly after we moved into our apartment in Coolangatta the carnival arrived in town and plopped itself a mere 5 minute walk from our doorstep. I am not an avid enthusiast of rides but Nug loves them so I knew we were destined to give it a shot. I dodged the visit as long as possible until I was cornered like a rat and coerced to go.
Our 1st ride, ride, the "Cha-Cha" where we went solo, slung us around like rag dolls. This reminded me of how Nug and I have distinctive reactions to rides. As the intensity of a ride increases, she becomes more boisterous and cackles like crazy. As this picks up speed I whine more, mumble incoherently or pick a choice curse word to repetitively utter. Next we went on the Gravitron, again as the only riders. It was a ride that I have always ducked like a wuss and I felt like a true champion for facing my fears even though it did a first-rate job of upsetting the chicken curry in my gut.
We then decided to tackle "The Octopus". As we waited in line (this was the only ride that seemed to have people on it) I surveyed the contraption. It had eight arms with what I would describe as a teacup attached to each end. These teacups spun clockwise or counterclockwise at a horrid pace and with no rhyme or reason to speak of. The Octopus would tilt on a 45 degree angle that moved as well so you would be shot high into the air before rocketing down towards the ground, and then jetted skyward all while spinning at a maddening clip. It was finally our turn and the carny that locked us in to our seat had a raspy smoker's voice along with half a nostril. The other segment of his nose was cut clean off and sported a gaping black hole that peered directly into his soul. He gruffly choked out, "Have a nice ride," and let out a sinister gurgle. I was horrified! The Octopus creaked into action and as the dual spinning began Nug commenced her giggling and I started stuttering. As it increased speed her laughing and my cursing gained intensity. My line of vision was changing rapidly…stars, ground, girl in the next teacup screaming, lights, cars, kid picking his nose in line, moon, ground, ocean, city, lady smoking a cigarette, lights…and I started to turn green. I tried to close my eyes but all I could see was the carny's snout cavity with the background music of Nug's cackles at max capacity. Ugggghhh!!! Is this ever going to end?!?!? I tried to lean over the edge of the car and Nug bellowed, "Don't you dare barf!" I was miserable and could sense the curry creeping. It appeared to be hours before the ride ceased. The carny must have noticed us because we were let off 1st. I maintained as much composure as possible as I tried to prevent a face first collapse into the grass. As I bolted to the exit with Nug in pursuit I spotted a little kid with cotton candy tugging on his mom's shirt and pointing at me. I barely made it out of sight behind the Gravitron before the curry was offered freedom from the confines of my belly.
We have a calendar to help us remember our bills. There are only three at the moment but with rent weekly, electric quarterly, and internet monthly it can get a bit confusing. Internet is not unlimited; rather you must choose how much data you will use in MB. We were oblivious as to how much we would require and the guidance, "I have 10MB at home and its heaps," from the sales rep was less than valuable. Great we thought as we were setting it up. Either way we were happy to have the last of the move in goals accomplished.
After three weeks in our Kirra apartment we have started to get comfortable. The task of looking for work has arrived. With a 12-pack of beer going for $30 and gas between $5 and $6 per gallon it would be beneficial to supplement our funds. We applied online at numerous businesses and printed out resumes (or CVs as we were informed they are called) which we took throughout Coolangatta. We can walk almost everywhere and we each tried 10-15 storefronts to no avail. Finally, I walked into a surf shop (the 6th or 7th I had tried) and asked, "Are you hiring?" The cheerful girl bubbled, "Yes we are!" I was ecstatic until she added, "What kind of board would you like to hire?" I forgot that hire in Australia means "rent". Dejected, we walked home. At home, Nug asked, "So you want to go try some more spots tomorrow?" I was online checking the surf forecast as Nug asked this and saw that the outlook was good for the next several days. "Nah, let's let our resumes marinate until next week and see if we get any nibbles," I returned.

Comment on ADT owing accounting on Vivint recovery from article on October 13, 2021
IN RESPONSE TO ADT-VS-VIViNT
Vivint isn't the only alarm competitor who has used deceitful tactics to steal ADT's customers.
During the 8 years I spent at ADT, I observed many ADT corporate* accounts who were 'taken over' by its own dealers, and sold back to ADT. (*Corporate meaning the account was originally obtained directly by ADT and a dealer was never involved.) How can that be? Same lies and deceit as Vivint!
Not all of ADT's dealers practiced this, but the ones that did caused a lot of problems and ruined a lot of long term customer relationships.
Countless ADT customers were told they were due for a free system upgrade and just needed to sign here. They saw the ADT logo on all the dealer paperwork so they signed. Then, their bills went up; or they were being billed twice; or their new alarm was falsing. Or they had an alarm, but no one called! In many cases, the 'new' equipment was not an upgrade, rather, a cheaper system was involved and many hardwired devices went dis-connected due to all new wireless being put in. It was sickening to learn that a good, working alarm system was now all chopped up. And, of course, the dealer won't return their cries for help. Go figure. These frustrated people were transferred all over the country until they landed on my desk because my co-workers knew I would get involved. Taking notes, I would then complain to the dealer manager for NW and raise my voice to get his attention. I SEE A PATTERN HERE...... etc. Some customers we could appease and some we could not.
Irritated enough, these customers certainly didn't like the taste left in their mouth after I (the only person who would tell them the truth) explained the ADT/DEALER relationship, and that this particular dealer had lied and tricked them and ADT.
When I worked there, ADT could not control it's offending dealers, even after the dealer was repeatedly warned. (Perhaps ADT needs a 3-STRIKES and you're OUT provision.) With that being said, remember, not all dealers are bad. The majority are star performers, nary a problem and the vast majority of dealer generated accounts are good new accounts. That makes ADT happy and, it's Shareholders happy.
Well, the secret is out now, that ADT fights with its own dealers over its own accounts. It just does not make sense on paper to pay a salesperson commission one time for establishing the account, then have to buy back the account from their own dealer for $1,200 (and upwards) at a later date.
Now, this is a stretch, but in closing, ADT should be suing its own Dealer Division for allowing those rotten-apple dealers to stay on, allowing them to continue to interfere with long established accounts. (I'll bet the ADT Dealer Account Managers earn commissions so they are reluctant to discipline/dismiss dealers when serious offenses occur.)
In closing, it's my opinion (that) what ADT could have stopped years ago, has now morphed into a global concept of stealing established alarm accounts. If ADT had sued its own dealers, (when they had it coming) it would have shown all others, not to dare steal from ADT. Had ADT been aggressive about it, Vivint probably would have taken notice. With all that said, ADT, how do you like that taste in your own mouth?
Cynthia Hart
Retired Security Consultant
Keep in mind that it hasn't been established that Vivint stole from ADT; it's allegations in the lawsuit. We will see where it ends up. The original issue was whether ADT should or would reimburse any ADT dealers for money that had been charged back on any accounts affected in any settlement or recovery from Vivint.
Stealing accounts isn't good for any industry, alarm industry included.
What goes around comes around.
Anyway, I don't represent ADT corporate so I have no advice for them.

Originally posted in French by Cédric Locqueneux on http://www.maison-et-domotique.com, translated and slightly updated to the current installation process of Max2Play by HiFiBerry.
Since a long time I wanted to overhaul my multiroom audio system completely to adapt it to one which fits better to my needs and with a superior sound quality, while keeping control over the budget. If you don't know multiroom systems yet: These audio systems allow you to play back sound in different rooms of your house, so you can listen to the music you want wherever you want.
I had my current multiroom system installed a couple of years ago. During the construction of my house, I asked the plasterer to install a duct in each room's ceiling, all end in the garage. Further, I bought 150 m audio cable (1.5 mm diameter = approx. gauge 15) for about 60 €, half of its usual price, which was enough to wire the 7 main rooms of my house.
Additionally, I bought 6 standard build-in speakers and a sealed one, originally made for boats, for the bathroom. These are not high-end speakers, but they were good enough for the intention I had, to have background music in all rooms. I used the SPE 178WT, which were at that time 19.95 € (the price increased quite a bit since then…).
To play back audio I was using at the very beginning a 5.1 sound card and fed with foobar the 6 channels to six loudspeakers. The constantly running PC was noisy like a gas turbine.
My old system was close to the one in this scheme from Aurel's multiroom tutorial.
But I must admit, in reality it was a big mess of cables, since in this scheme are still three units and the different power cables missing.
It needs to be said, this system let quite some room for improvement. The sound wasn't that great (my friend Max got me with the "good sound" virus infected), and the amplifiers were audible humming when no music was played. In the end, we were using this system much less then we were expecting in the beginning, which was maybe also since my wife found the operation too complicated.
The Squeezebox system, since it is the most open and the easiest to integrate in a home automation system. The leading alternative would have been obviously Sonos, but that was clearly out of my budget.
Spotify support, since our family uses now since a few years the premium account.
Airplay support, since we have multiple Apple devices in the household and it is very easy to use.
Searching forums and blogs, I discovered the company Hifiberry who makes audio boards for the Raspberry Pi.
It is known that the Raspberry Pi's phone audio output isn't really great. Additionally, the humming of my old system was most likely related to these low-quality outputs (only the HDMI output of the Raspberry Pi is fine). Therefore, a Swiss company specialized itself to improve this issues, products are e.g. a DAC, and even a board which combines a DAC and an amplifier! After a successful test of this setup, I decided to base my complete system on Raspberry Pi and Hifiberry Amp+.
The speciality of this board is, additionally to converting the digital signal with a much better quality then the Raspberry Pi, it serves as well as a 25 W amplifier.
On the side, a jack to power the board, and 6 wire terminals. The two left can be used as well to power the board instead of the jack, and the other 4 to connect directly a stereo pair of loudspeakers, using audio cables (2 per speaker).
Important: The board needs 12-18 V, the Raspberry Pi is directly powered from it, it is important to not use the 5 V power supply on the Raspberry Pi as usually. This is great, since a cable less is needed!
Here it is, our audio player!
With this setup, we need much less cables then before and the quality of it increases drastically. Less connections means less possible sources of problems.
6 Raspberry B+, which I got for 25.90 €.
1 Raspberry Pi 2B as the Squeezebox server to stream the music. It has enough power to handle this without problems, I will come to this later.
For the later I was choosing some 16 GB micro SD cards, because there was a special offer, but 8 GB are more then enough. Finally I was discovering a known incompatibility of Samsung's SD cards with the Raspberry Pi, which sometimes don't boot. Of course I experienced this problem, that's why I finally went with some cards of Transcend, which work without any problems.
The openings on the side are for the audio and power cables, while the other plugs of the Raspberry Pi (hdmi, audio jack, …) are covered, since I don't need them.
The inside has flanges to hold the Raspberry Pis while still allowing air flow in between them. Even though the Raspberry Pis don't heat up much, some air flow is never wrong.
Connected to 220 V mains voltage, the output delivers stable 12 V, perfect for our audio system.
I then build tiny "splitters" of 1 mm² cables and quick connectors. I used four of these, since I was not finding connectors which hold at least 8 wires.
These tiny splitters I connected to the power source's output, where two of the three outputs are now used.
Ok, I had it a bit easier since I had a 3D printer available. If you have one too, here are the files available: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:892473.
The installation is very simple, it is enough to copy the files on the Micro SD card. There is no need to use a tool to write an image on the card, just copy-paste.
All settings are made through a web interface, no need to type terminal commands.
Support of various useful plugins, with new ones being added often.
Features like Airplay are pre-installed.
The only thing to note, it is necessary to buy a license for 9 € to use the Hifiberry card, and it unlocks some other options for the Raspberry Pi as well. In the end, it is not really expensive, since it is possible to use one license for all 7 Raspberry Pis.
Update: Max2Play now provides a HiFiBerry image that can be used without a licences. However, for the full feature set you still need to buy a licence.
All 7 Raspberry Pis have the same software basis, just a few differences are made in the end in between the clients and the server.
Now it's time to insert the Micro SD card in the Raspberry Pi and boot it (with all connections been made before). It is not necessary to connect a monitor, the installation is done completely automatic. Just wait for about 15 min and it is done, just take care to not remove the power supply during this time. When this is finished, a new device (or multiple, if you did them all at once) will appear in your network. Just type either it's IP address, or "http://max2play" (depending on your system, it might also be "max2play.local") in your webbrowser to reach the web interface.
After the reboot the common Raspberry Pi boot information can be seen. In the end, nothing interesting here, everything happens automatically and no need for the monitor.
Different tabs are available to configure the device. The "Audioplayer" tab gives access to the options of the Squeezelite client, Airport (which is called here "Shairport"), DLNA and others.
The audio output can be as well chosen, but as you can see, we can't select the Hifiberry card, only the standard Raspberry Pi outputs are shown.
It is necessary to buy a license on the Max2Play webpage which gives access to all plugins of this software. Since just one license is necessary to set up all the players, it seems quite fair.
Once the license is bought, it is enough to go to the tab "Settings/Reboot" and enter the email address which was used to buy the license. At the same time, you could rename already the name of the Raspberry Pi (e.g. living room, bedroom, etc.). This name appears in the network later when using the multiroom system. Further, you could select the language for the desktop here as well, the webinterface uses automatically your favourite language, as you might have noticed. Don't forget to save these settings with the button below them.
The installation is again automatic.
The only thing left to do is to activate this plugin "Raspberry Settings" now by selecting it in the list and click the button ">" to move it to the active plugins, and save the setting with the button just below.
If you want you could also overclock the Raspberry Pi here, but it is not necessary.
Once this is done, we get the message we could not use the Hifiberry board with multiple players simultaneously. In other words, it does not work with Squeezelite and Shairport at the same time. But don't worry, we'll use the trick which max2play is telling us in the same notification.
For making the board available to Squeezelite, reboot the Raspberry Pi by using the "Reboot" button in the "Settings/Reboot" tab.
Select the Hifiberry board (the one with "sysdefault" in the name), and in the ALSA parameters, I entered "2000:4::" which gives me 2000 ms cache to avoid interruptions during playback.
Disable as well the "Autostart Shairport (Airplay)", since we don't need it anymore.
Further, it is very likely an update of Max2Play is proposed, which you can do in the "Settings/Reboot" tab.
All these changes need to be made for each of the Raspberry Pis. Someone who knows how to make a copy of the SD card image could copy it easily to the other ones, but the steps described here don't take very long.
Now to the small differences in between the players.
The easiest way to install the software on the SD card is using HiFiBerry's installer, some of the steps described above can be skipped by using it, since the installer configures them by itself. The installer exists for Windows and Mac, just select "Max2Play" as your distribution in the first step, this will automatically write the Max2Play Hifiberry image on the card.
Once this is done, insert the card in the Raspberry Pi and power it. You have immediately access to the webinterface by typing "http://max2play" (depending on your system this might also be "max2play.local"), as described above.
There, your are in a first step asked which HiFiBerry product you use, select it from the menu and save this setting. Just below, you can select how you want to use your media player. Since we want a multiroom solution, we need to select the second option, "Advanced". After this, go to the "Settings/Reboot" tab to update the system using the "Update Max2Play" button and reboot using the "Reboot" button. After the few seconds the system is back.
After this is done, continue in the process as described above by entering the license code. The settings in the tab "Audioplayer" are already preconfigured.
Please note, using this process instead of the above described Noobs image gives you an additional tab in the webinterface, which is called "Hifiberry". Here you can select the HiFiBerry board you use, it is not part of the "Audioplayer" tab anymore.
Having a Synology NAS in my house, one could ask why I not just installed the Squeezebox server directly on the NAS. I tried it out, but was having some trouble getting Airplay working.
Max2Play supports Shairport, which brings easily Airplay to the Raspberry Pi, but it is not possible to use at the same time Squeezelite and Shairport, and indeed, I get no sound with the later one. But since it is possible to install various plugins on a Squeezebox system, we use this possibility to install Shairport as a plugin of the Squeezebox system. Since then everything is managed by the Squeezebox server, the sound is switched automatically as desired. My problem: This plugin is a bit difficult to install on my Synology, since some command codes need to be run in a terminal. Even though there are tutorials around, I could not get it properly working, and whenever the Synology gets an update, these installations would need to be done again, which isn't very practically. That's why I finally decided to install the Squeezebox server as well on a Raspberry Pi, and to not have any performance problems, I took the Raspberry Pi 2B (this one will act both as the server and as a client). And who would have thought it, like this the plugin installs itself nearly alone, since it is provided by Max2Play.
Finally, select the "Shairtunes Plugin"at the bottom and click "Install plugin" to start the automatic installation of the Airplay plugin.
If you don't have a NAS, just plug a harddrive into the USB port of the Raspberry Pi which runs the server.
Then, restart the Raspberry Pi. When it is back, open "Open Squeezebox Server Webadministration" in the "Squeezebox Server" tab to access the control interface of the Squeezebox system. This first time the system asks you where your music is located, and you select the previously mounted folder.
Go over to the "Settings" on the very right bottom, and select the tab "Plugins" and ensure the Shairtunes plugin is activated to be able to use Airplay.
If you want Spotify support as well, uncheck the original "Spotify" plugin and check the "3rd Party Spotify Plugin" of Triode, which works much better (if you can't see it, select "view third party plugins"). However, you'll need a Spotify premium account to use Spotify with the Squeezeboxes. Click "Settings" next to this plugin to enter your Spotify account details.
These two plugins allow you to use both Airplay and Spotify on all the the connected Squeezeboxes!
That's all for the server!
We complete the installation of the Raspberry Pis with the plugin "SD card write protection". This plugin sets the SD card into read-only mode to protect the system against overwriting or power cuts, so the card would not get corrupted.
We return therefore to the "Settings/Reboot" tab of the Max2Play configuration and add the link http://shop.max2play.com/media/downloadable/currentversion/sdcardprotection.tar to the plugins to install, and click "Install new Plugin".
As always, the installation runs automatically.
A new tab "SD Card Protection" appears, where we need to click "Install" to activate the plugin.
To confirm the plugin is running, it displays now "enabled".
A yellow note is now reminding in all of the tabs that the SD card protection is active. If you ever need to change anything again, just return to the tab "SD Card Protection" and enable writing until the next reboot.
Warning: Never install this plugin on the Raspberry Pi which runs the server, since the server could not work anymore. If you have done this, you would need to uninstall the plugin.
The system is now up and running. There are different ways to control and use it. The "simple" way, which my wife prefers: Airplay. For example using the iPad, I get a list of all my Squeezeboxes when clicking on Airplay.
If it is music from your iTunes library, Spotify, Youtube, … all can be send to the room you want, just select it. If you are using Android, no worries, there are many apps which allow sending music from Android to Airplay, like AllCast or Allstream. The most of them cost approx. 5 €, which I find reasonable. Since I haven't used any of them, feel free to give me feedback on these.
This works good, but the webinterface looks a bit outdated and rather boring.
It's even possible to set an alarm clock which gradually increases the music's volume, the last played track will be played automatically to wake you up.
Beside, there is a "Party Mode": Your guests install "iPeng Party" on their smartphone and can select the music they want to listen next, without being able to alter the current playlist or the volume (this is up to the master). Nice!
Similar apps with slightly different functions and look exist as well for Android, e.g. Orange Squeeze, Squeeze CTR and the free Squeezer, try out which one you prefer.
I can say, I am absolutely satisfied with this system! Finally my multiroom system is how I want it to be. In the switch cabinet, it is relatively clean and compact. The power consumption is, as I can see from Fibaro, in total approx. 25 W, which is completely fine for playing music in 7 rooms. Much less cables and easy maintenance. The only downside is the noisy power supply with its tiny ventilation which runs the whole time. This is not a big problem since it is in the garage, but this needs to be in mind when you think about where to place the system. Otherwise a less noisy power supply needs to be found, I guess a PC power supply with a big 12 cm ventilation should be fine.
On the quality side: no noise or humming when no music is played back, even at maximal volume. Great! Therefore the system is running all the time, when I don't play any music, I can use it for audio notifications of the home automation system in all rooms (this will be explained in a later article). When playing back music, the sound quality is awesome, especially for my entry level loudspeakers. Some of the speakers I will update in the future for sure, e.g. in the living room, but for the moment the sound is really great.
The usability is highly improved. If for example my wife finds a nice lullaby on youtube, 2 s later she has send it through Airplay into our children's room. iPeng is a tiny bit more complicated, but it is very easy to get used to it. The only thing I still have to figure out is how to give our kids control over the speakers in their rooms, so they would not need any other HiFi system in their rooms.
At very last, of course a note about the price of the whole. The loudspeakers and the cables were already there in our house, and the price of the speakers depend highly on the quality you wish to have, so they are difficult to include in the calculation. Everything else: the Raspberry Pi cost me 26 €, 60 € for the Hifiberry Amp+ and 7 € for the micro SD card, which makes 93 € per room. Additionally, one license for Max2Play for 10 €, an Ethernet switch with 8 ports for 19 €, and a power supply with 12 V for approx. 40 €. That is in total, without the speakers, 720 € for 7 rooms, which is less then the original Squeezeboxes from Logitech when they were still available, and much less then installing Sonos or a similar systems. To have a similar system with speakers mounted in the ceiling, it would have been necessary to use the Sonos Connect in each room, where one alone costs already 349 €, and there would be still a small amplifier necessary, since it is not possible to connect speakers directly.
I am very satisfied with this system, for this price, and I am sure it will now stay quite a while like this.
Super write up. Many thanks. Planning similar but with WiFi dongles on the Pi's & Amp+'s which I'd like to locate where each speaker set is.
Fantastic write-up! I now have this working in our home. The only thing I would add to the instructions is changing each of the Raspberry Pi's Hostname prior to mounting the Network drive.
i'm not very familiar with Airplay, with this system installed can you play to multiple room at the same time?
if not, do you have a solution for this? i'm thinking about something similar to sonos home media system.
another issue, with Raspberry Pi 3, is it possible to play music wireless to other rooms? this way i can install the Raspberry with the HiFiberry AMP next to the speaker, instead of pulling cables from a central location as explained in this article.
The best working audiophile multiroom solution with Pi is Roon software.
i am going to be trying this set up in my house very soon! i do have one question, would it be possible to add in an AUX input to the system? i have an amazon alexa and i would like to be able to stream music from it using this system.
@Matt, i would love to see and know how this turns out for you, if possible to post a comment after you complete your setup.
Thank you for the how to. Very helpful and I think I have been inspired to try this at my home. But first, I have just completed renovations and instead of running audio cables I ran cat6 to all rooms, I am assuming this will work with RPi in each room instead of in one room like your setup?
"@Peter R". Of course it will work, I tend to think even better that a digital signal is transmitted on longer distances and analog audio (on speaker wire) on shorter. In authors case convenience wins I guess, but if your goal is highest possible quality for less money, than I would check out Roon (https://roonlabs.com) software I mentioned in my previous post. It has its own audio transport protocol that makes sync play a breeze and surpasses Airplay quality by far... That comes with a cost but worth every penny in my opinion.
I'm confused about what software is on the pi2 and what is on the B+. It is the same installation from max2play right? Does that mean there is a server on every pi? Or is there some sort of simple "squeezebox player" that goes on each B+?
Thanks for the awesome article. There any way to run this with a PoE?
I had exactly the same question. Perhaps these extracts from my communiqués with Hifiberry could help you.
Thanks very much for the reply, Daniel.
we did some experiments with external PoE splitters some time ago. This can work, but output power is limited to about 15W. You need to look for PoE splitters that output 12V.
I would recommend an older Raspberry 2 for this as is consumes less power.
I have used some of your boards quite successfully for building audio systems for friends. I am finally doing one for myself and would like to power RPi3B+/Amp2 and RPi3B+ /DAC+ nodes via power-over-Ethernet. Is such possible? If so, I'd greatly appreciate a couple of pointers on how to get it done.

Q: Displaying JSON webapi element in HTML element I'm currently struggling to display results from a Web API, I'm new to this kind of thing, so forgive the horrible understanding. My error is down to authentication. I have since discovered that the API link was incorrect, and now (via python) I can use to call the correct results. My issue lies in not knowing how to get the same results in Javascript, and parsing it down to only display the string "value". I will post below a sample of the data coming through from the API and will highlight exactly what I need. The overall aim is to display the "value" number in a P tag, the location of which can be found in my HTML. Here is my the section of html in which I'm trying to display the value in:

The light sensor will detect exterior lighting conditions, and will turn on or off any outside lights based on the enviroment.

And here is my JS file;

Marine Missing From World War II Accounted For (Tye)
Release No: 17-009 March 21, 2017
Harry K. Tye
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced today that the remains of a U.S. serviceman, unaccounted for since World War II, have been identified and are being returned to his family for burial with full military honors.
Marine Pvt. Harry K. Tye, 21, of Orinoco, Kentucky, will be buried March 28 in Arlington National Cemetery, near Washington, D.C. In November 1943, Tye was assigned to Company E, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines, 2nd Marine Division, which landed against stiff Japanese resistance on the small island of Betio in the Tarawa Atoll of the Gilbert Islands, in an attempt to secure the island. Over several days of intense fighting at Tarawa, approximately 1,000 Marines and Sailors were killed and more than 2,000 were wounded, but the Japanese were virtually annihilated. Tye died sometime on the first day of battle, Nov. 20, 1943.
The battle of Tarawa was a huge victory for the U.S. military because the Gilbert Islands provided the U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet a platform from which to launch assaults on the Marshall and Caroline Islands to advance their Central Pacific Campaign against Japan.
In the immediate aftermath of the fighting on Tarawa, U.S. service members who died in the battle were buried in a number of battlefield cemeteries on the island. In 1946 and 1947, the 604th Quartermaster Graves Registration Company conducted remains recovery operations on Betio Island, but Tye's remains were not recovered. On Feb. 28, 1949, a military review board declared Tye's remains non-recoverable.
In June 2015, a nongovernmental organization, History Flight, Inc., notified DPAA that they discovered a burial site on Betio Island and recovered the remains of what they believed were 35 U.S. Marines who fought during the battle in November 1943. The remains were turned over to DPAA in July 2015.
To identify Tye's remains, scientists from DPAA and the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System used mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis, which matched a nephew; laboratory analysis, including dental analysis and anthropological comparison, which matched Tye's records; as well as circumstantial and material evidence.
DPAA is grateful to History Flight, Inc. for this recovery mission.
Of the 16 million Americans who served in World War II, more than 400,000 died during the war. Currently there are 73,074 service members still unaccounted for from World War II.

Design & Build | Digital | Estates and Facilities | Medical Devices
The awards celebrates its 20th edition alongside the NHS's 70th anniversary
The competition, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, will continue to recognise and reward innovation in the healthcare built environment and medical device and technology sectors, and will throw the spotlight on those people leading the way in enhancing services across the sector.
As well as being the 20th year of the awards; this year is also the NHS's 70th birthday and we expect entries to include some of the most-ground-breaking NHS schemes from across the country.
Over the coming months the judges will look at all the entries, before the winners are announced at a prestigious event at The Brewery in central London on 31 October.
And this year there are more chances than ever to win, with 27 awards up for grabs across five classes – Building Design, Technology, Estates and Facilities, Staff and Patient Experience, and Special Awards.
The categories have been carefully chosen to reflect activity and priorities in the current market place.
In particular, the Building Design awards reflect the recent shift from the large-scale hospital developments of the past decade, to less-costly refurbishment and expansion of existing hospital buildings.
So, for the first time this year, there are awards for both New Build and Refurbishment projects within the Award for Best Primary Care Development – recognising the recent investment in enhancing primary care facilities to take pressure off struggling hospital services.
There are also two awards for Best Acute Hospital Design – for projects under and over the value of £10m.
All other awards in this class will recognise both new-build and refurbishment projects of all sizes, with the judges reserving the right to choose more than one winner in the event that several entries are deemed to have a significantly-positive impact.
The categories also reflect the increasing investment in social care facilities such as nursing and care homes and dementia care schemes, with entries sought from both NHS and private providers for Best Mental Health Development; Best Dementia Development; and Best Social Care Development.
Finally, there is the Best International Development, which will single out the very best in health and care projects from around the world.
In all these categories the judges are looking for details of how the buildings were designed to specifically meet the needs of the people who will be using them – patients, staff and visitors.
Entries should, therefore, include feedback from users, floorplans to show the adjacencies, and a description, from the architect, about how the plans were put together.
In the Patient Environment class, the awards will recognise how the built environment can positively enhance a person's time in hospital, whether that is a member of staff, a patient, or a visitor.
The categories take note of the increasing use of the arts and interior design to enhance spaces, with awards for both Best Collaborative Arts Project (static), covering art installations such as painting and sculptures; and Best Collaborative Arts Project (performance), which will include music, dance and other participatory events.
In both categories the judges will want to hear about the involvement of staff and patients and how the investment is impacting on the environment.
The awards for Best Internal Environment and Best External Environment continue this theme, exploring how interior design and exterior improvements, such as landscaping and walkways, can make a person's experience of the clinical environment less daunting.
And this year there is also a Best Furniture and Fixtures Award, which will highlight the impact that manufacturers are making on improving the environment and addressing key issues such as infection control and health and safety. This category will cover everything from furniture including seating, tables, office furniture, beds and storage solutions; to fixtures like door handles, window restrictors, anti-ligature products, and curtain rails and grab rails.
The Technology Class has been expanded once again this year to reflect the continued shift away from paper systems to digital solutions.
There are now five awards up for grabs. They are Best Communications Product, covering entries such as nurse call systems, graphics, wayfinding solutions, and telecommunications; Best Administrative System, covering all back-office or data collection systems that are helping to improve care; and two awards for Best Healthcare Software – the first for a patient-centred solution, and the second targeting healthcare staff.
Finally in this category is a new award for Best Use of Technology.
While the other awards will focus on specific solutions; this award will recognise deployments; highlighting how solutions, or a number of applications, have been seamlessly rolled out, leading to a measurable improvement in services.
In the Estates and Facilities Management class we will once again be recognising the people behind the successes. There are awards for Facilities Management Team of the Year and Estates Team of the Year, with the judges looking for best practice across both hard and soft FM services and the estates division.
Specifically this year, the awards will recognise, in particular, the input of estates and facilities on overall service efficiencies.
There are two awards for Best Example of Efficiencies – one covering operational efficiencies; rewarding entries including carbon reduction projects and estates rationalisation schemes, among others; and a second focusing on technology, and how digital solutions – nurse call systems, IT solutions and building management technologies – are impacting on service delivery.
Finally are this year's Special Awards. These are the Grand Prix Award for the Building Design entry the judges feel is the most outstanding overall.
Then there are the Patient's Choice and Clinician's Choice awards, which are chosen by our expert judges from across all entries in all categories.
To find out more about entries this year's competition, sponsoring the event, or attending the ceremony, visit the BBH Awards website, call 020 7193 8083 or email bbhawards@hpcimedia.com.

'It's Not About Me Anymore'
David Lee Roth has issued his first statements since canceling a run of farewell shows in Las Vegas.
"Sometimes you win, Sometimes you lose, We got rained out… Covid cancelled," the rocker wrote in a message shared with EW. "Future shows? When the benefit concerts for Colorado, Farm Aid, and hospital workers 'everywhere' come up; Call me.."
In a similar statement to Fox News, Roth added: "It's not about me anymore."
Back in October, the former Van Halen frontman announced that his residency at the House of Blues Las Vegas, which was supposed to begin on New Year's Eve, would be the final performances of his career.
"I am throwing in the shoes. I'm retiring," the singer revealed to the Las Vegas Review Journal at the time. Roth further added that he was "encouraged and compelled to really come to grips with how short time is, and my time is probably even shorter," adding that "my doctors, my handlers, compelled me to really address that every time I go onstage, I endanger that future."
Initially, Roth only canceled the first two dates of his farewell residency, "Due to unforeseen circumstances related to COVID and out of an abundance of caution for those working and attending the shows." The rest of the shows briefly remained on the schedule, before being canceled several days later.
Roth's last concert took place on March 10, 2020, at the United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, Texas. The rocker was opening for Kiss' End of the Road Tour at the time and had a slew of further dates remaining on the calendar before the COVID-19 pandemic brought live music to a screeching halt.

Religious freedom is being challenged in fundamental ways, say speakers
(CNS photo/Gregory A. Shemitz)
By Christopher Gunty • Catholic News Service • Posted January 28, 2016
WASHINGTON (CNS) — Religious freedom is being challenged in fundamental ways, according to speakers at a panel discussion on "Religious Liberty and the Future: Faith, Skepticism, Culture and Hope" at the Heritage Foundation in Washington Jan. 21.
Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore said the fundamental problems include "the decoupling of our basic freedoms from the search for truth." He noted that 50 years ago, the Second Vatican Council issued a document on religious freedom known as "Dignitatis Humanae" ("Of Human Dignity"). Some of those debating the document wanted it to focus only on the freedom from coercion, which is important.
"Indeed," he said, "no government and no social force should coerce individuals or groups in religious matters, and that made its way into the document."
However, the archbishop added, other Vatican II fathers, including then-Cardinal Karol Wojtyla, later Pope John Paul II, argued that religious freedom is linked to the search for truth — truth about the human person made in God's image and endowed with free will, made for the search for truth.
Archbishop Lori, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Ad Hoc Committee on Religious Liberty, was joined on the panel by Kevin D. Roberts, president of Wyoming Catholic College in Lander, Wyoming; and Roger Severino, director of the DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society at the Heritage Foundation.
James W. Tonkowich, director of distance learning for Wyoming Catholic College and author of "The Liberty Threat: The Attack on Religious Liberty in America," moderated the panel.
The discussion was sponsored by the foundation, a conservative research and education think tank. Wyoming Catholic College co-hosted the event.
The archbishop said the decoupling of freedom to choose from responsibility also is a problem, because choice does not mean the ability to do anything. The current state of our society de-emphasizes that this freedom must be properly linked to "the freedom to choose what is good and true."
The third fundamental cultural problem is the view that our freedoms are given to us by the state and not God, he said.
"I think the challenges we see to religious freedom today stem from roots like these, whether it's Christians being beheaded in the Middle East or the tendencies of so-called liberal democracies to manage religion, such as we see in the HHS mandate or the difficulties that individuals, institutions and religious groups experience. … If you challenge one fundamental freedom, you challenge them all," he said.
Archbishop Lori added, "The defense of religious liberty is, at the same time, the defense of human dignity and the common good of society. It is fundamental to the task of building a civilization of love. It is fundamental toward … rebuilding the fabric of our society." He noted that the defense of religious liberty is essential to the outward-reaching ministries of faith organizations. "It is these ministries precisely that are in the crosshairs of our society today."
In his remarks, Roberts took the perspective of education and said he looked at religious liberty from a "sidewalk level." He said Wyoming Catholic College would much rather focus on the formation of the human person than on religious liberty, except as a topic in academic classes.
"But the reality is in the 21st century that we are called not only to teach our students about, as the archbishop reminds us, our civic heritage and of course our religious heritage but to give them some advice and practical tools for being involved in that fight," he said.
Roberts said they are optimistic at Wyoming Catholic College that the fight can be won.
Wyoming Catholic, established in 2005, joined the Diocese of Cheyenne in January 2014 in a complaint by several Wyoming Catholic institutions against the Health and Human Services mandate that most employers, including religious employers, provide comprehensive contraceptive coverage in their employee insurance plans.
Roberts told the audience of about 30 people present in the auditorium, plus others watching the discussion live via the Internet, that the challenges make it harder for educational institutions to exist "based the real value proposition which is the formation of the human person with real freedom, … which is doing what we ought to do, not this modern-era concept of doing whatever they heck we want to do."
He said this is especially difficult at the secondary education level. In higher education, the problem is most acute in administrative interpretation of the law.
The college president noted that Title IX, which was devised to provide gender equity on college sporting programs, is being expanded to include definitions and accommodations for transgender persons. That has led to concerns that eventually Title IV federal student loan and grant programs will be tied to a college's compliance with new definitions of gender in Title IX.
While "we extend the greatest love and charity to anyone suffering from same-sex attraction or some problems with their self-awareness and identity, what doesn't work is to turn that into a trump card that can change how an institution operates and what an institution thinks and believes. And the government at the administrative level is using Title IX to promote this agenda of transgenderism. And as you know, hundreds of colleges like ours refuse to participate in that redefinition, and it puts us at great risk."
He said in light of that, Wyoming Catholic made the prudent decision not to accept federal grant and loan funds so they could avoid such conflicts, while realizing funds to help students will have to be raised elsewhere.
The Heritage Foundation's Severino began his comments with an observation about a sign for a family bathroom at an airport. The sign depicted the familiar stick figures of a man, a woman and a child. "When I was looking at that sign, I thought, 'How sad,' because this sign will likely be coming down soon."
He said it might soon become illegal to have that vision of the family. He said it will start in public places and will filter up to businesses and one way or another it will affect religious institutions.
"I look at this as one example because the institution of the family is so critical to human flourishing that it's no surprise that religious institutions and people of faith care so deeply about it," he said.
"The state cares deeply about it too, and those two visions of the family are diverging," which has led to church-state conflict, and is getting worse, Severino said.
He noted that it's not a done deal, pointing to the strides made against abortion from actions such as the annual March for Life being held in Washington the following day.
He called recent laws and court decisions in favor of same-sex marriage a state-imposed redefinition of marriage. He asked whether individuals could continue to believe and act on the belief that marriage should be between one man and one woman without legal consequences. He cited cases in which bakers and florists who would not provide services for same-sex weddings have been "fined out of business."
"This has nothing to do with same-sex couples getting licenses. It has everything to do with one side having a winner-take-all attitude and forcing others to conform," Severino said.
He said that secularism contributes to the divide in these debates. "If you lack faith, then people of faith seem foreign to you … and you have less understanding, less reason to give people the benefit of the doubt if their beliefs differ from yours. There is a movement afoot to treat faith like second-hand smoke," something allowed in private, as long as it doesn't have any impact on others.
Gunty is CEO and associate publisher/editor of the Catholic review, newspaper of the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

Ron Ivey says:
Nikki I appreciate your story based on your life experiences. It reminded me of something Pope Francis has said repeatedly including his visit to the U.S. last year. He said: "don't judge" We have become so judgmental as a society. For years I never gave money to panhandlers when they held their hand out. I always considered them free-loaders and fakes. One day while driving my wife asked me how did I know whether some of those people might really be homeless and needy? The answer of course is..I didn't. So guess who digs into their pocket now and gives that person a few dollars or whatever? Me. Maybe I'm being taken advantage of but if I have helped one person that makes it worthwhile for me. Don't judge.

Nikki N says:
There were a couple years when I was young, that I was really grateful for the contraception, abortion referral, std screening and treatment services provided by Planned Parenthood in my neighborhood. I don't know what would have become of me without them, that's for sure. I made some unwise choices. PP did not make them for me but they helped me through. It's important that someone like that be there for girls like I was. The Church really couldn't help me then. It would be nice to think that they could have but there is no way.

Entertainment Celebrity BLACKPINK's Lisa cheered up Malaysian choreographer Jun Liu
BLACKPINK's Lisa cheered up Malaysian choreographer Jun Liu
By Lydia Koh
His father passed away during the show
Seoul — Youth with You is a boy group survival programme that has attracted a lot of attention with BLACKPINK's Lisa as the dance mentor. The show turned the spotlight on many talented trainees. Jun Liu, a Malaysian choreographer from 1Million Dance Studio, is one of Lisa's favourite trainees. He created choreography for stars like Rocket Girls (WJSN Meiqi and Xuanyi) as well as GOT7. Jun Liu received a lot of public interest for appearing as a trainee when he has the qualifications to be a dance teacher.
Lisa has been paying attention to the choreographer for his flawless dancing. She reminded him that he had a responsibility to help his friends who were struggling with the dancing. However, Jun Liu was under strain throughout the show because his rank kept dropping and he did not know what to do besides working harder. It got tougher when he received a low rank in the concept battle and found out that his father had passed away that morning.
Things became harder for him as he could not return to Malaysia to be with his mother as he was still filming for the show. The choreographer had to stay strong in front of the cameras. Lisa cheered him up when he went to her room to apply to join her mentor collaboration stage, according to Allkpop.
The BLACKPINK member shared that on her last birthday, which she celebrated with trainees who sent her a birthday cake, her grandfather passed away. It was difficult to deal with his passing as she has not seen him for over two years. While touring in Thailand, she was too busy. So she did not have a chance to say goodbye to him and it was something she regretted. "But I know he will always be with me, so I believe that your dad will be the same as well," she told Jun Liu.
It was hard for Jun to control his emotions, but he thanked Lisa for her heartfelt words, especially because they shared a common experience. "I also believe he will be with me," Jun Liu said. "Actually, my motivation for doing this has always been that I want to make my family proud of me. So I will always do my best, because I've come this far already. So I will stick to the end, and I will work hard and give my everything for this performance," he promised Lisa.

Parker's Heating and Air began when Parker returned from serving in the Korean conflict. The refrigeration business that his father had begun was in ruins, so he decided to change the business into what is now Parker's Heating and Air Conditioning.
Parker's business is now run by his grandson-in-law, Kevin Reeves. Reeves began working for the business in 2001 after he grew tired of working for a large company.
After working in the field for about six months, Reeves was promoted to a sales position. Despite continuing to work in sales to this day, Reeves insists that selling is not the most important part of his job.
Over the years, Parker's Heating and Air has had to change its products and techniques countless times. This is due to regulations put in place by the Environmental Protection Agency, who ups its energy standards regularly. Reeves said though it is good to be more energy efficient, it is expensive for both the company and their customers to order new units. To combat this, Reeves has made sure to be transparent with his customers, explaining to them exactly what needs to be done and getting to their houses or places of work as quickly as possible. These changes are due in large part to the company's updated technology.
Reeves is proud of how far the business has come and credits all of it to the employees who work there. In this line of work, gaining the trust of customers is vital to the success of the business.
At the center of those values lie two core beliefs—acting ethically and treating others like family. Reeves said he does his best to honor the principles his father in law believed in.
The Sumter County Chamber of Commerce is proud to serve Sumter County businesses that build a better and stronger community for its citizens. Thank you Parker's Heating & Air-Conditioning for being a part of the Chamber's mission.


Hilary Meredith has today called for full disclosure of the Ministry of Defence's financial dealings with disgraced lawyer Phil Shiner and failed firm Public Interest Lawyers.
Some of Shiner's claims led to the £25m, five-year-long Al-Sweady inquiry, which later dismissed the allegations and said they were based on calculated and deliberate lies by Iraqis. Other led investigations by the Iraq Historic Allegations Team (IHAT) into British troops. In total, IHAT has received 3390 allegations – and not a single prosecution has resulted.
This morning's Victoria Derbyshire programme heard how Phil Shiner was the "the driving character behind the witch hunts against British troops". Jonny Mercer MP added that "the MoD gave Phil Shiner the opportunity to abuse the process".
"Now is the time for full disclosure of the MoD's financial dealings with Phil Shiner and Public Interest Lawyers.
"We already know that the MoD paid Shiner and his firm taxpayers' money to bring fraudulent claims against our troops.

This event will bring together a small community of artists and representatives of organizations such as Hands of Peace and Karam Foundation working with topics around displacement, conflict, and borders to share a meal, along with our experiences, thoughts, and beliefs around these topics. Modeling care and togetherness as a way of being in the world presents a possible solution to these larger problems. Conversation becomes an art form for shaping individual change. These simple acts create something poetic, symbolic, and meaningful.
Come together to expand the dialogue around borders—whether geographic, social, economic, emotional, personal, or otherwise. How can we continue to look at the difficult things that are happening in the world? How do we make sense of it? How do we talk about it? How do we create change as individuals? Where does conversation end and action begin? Where do they overlap? Where do the separations, edges and boundaries exist within us? What do we separate?

Cameroon History
How did the country get its current name? -The country's name is taken from the Anglicized form of the former name of the River Wouri, which was called by the Portuguese Rio dos Camarões "river of prawns" (16c.) for the abundance of these they found in its broad estuary.
When and by whom the country was first discovered? – The area has seen habitation since the Neolithic Era, and seen migrations from most areas on the African continent. In 1472 the Portuguese explorer Fernão do Pó was the first European to view the Cameroon coast.

Five Places to Visit in Cameroon
Yaounde: The city is immaculately planned to be spread over seven hills meaning that the numerous buildings in the city are separated by stretches of lush green and rising terrain.(https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g293773-Yaounde_Centre_Region-Vacations.html)
Maroua: Nowhere near as lush and green, Maroua still has an appeal of its own. The streets are remarkably red, sandy and dusty and the buildings are a dull beige colour but the colours of the locals clothing brings plenty of colour to the city. (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g293772-Cameroon-Vacations.html)
Limbe: Occupying the slopes of Mount Cameroon, an active volcanic mountain, Limbe is a city that acts as a great base for travellers who are looking to explore the beauty of the area. The botanical gardens in the city are a great place to learn about the nature and plants in the area before exploring the nearby waterfalls and national park. (https://discover-cameroon.com/en/limbe/)
Douala: Douala has a reputation for being a bit grimey and insalubrious but this should not put you off visiting. This is the major city in Cameroon in most aspects; the airport is the biggest in the country, as is the port and the business centre here is the main one in the country.(https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g297392-Douala_Littoral_Region-Vacations.html)
Waza National Park: About 180 miles to the north of Maroua is Waza National Park. This park looks very different during the four seasons but is always a good place to witness some of the country's most spectacular wildlife including elephants, giraffes and hyenas.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will arrive here on Wednesday on a two-day India visit during which he and PM Modi will hold the 12th India-Japan annual summit here.
Gandhinagar: In a first, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe would take part in a road show in Ahmedabad in Gujarat on September 13 when the latter begins his visit.
The eight-km-long road show would start from the Ahmedabad airport and culminate at the Sabarmati Ashram, according to the BJP.
"This is for the first time in the country when our prime minister along with the prime minister of another country is doing a joint road show. The Japanese PM is landing here directly on September 13. This makes the occasion more important, as he is visiting a state on the very first day of his India visit," Gujarat BJP unit president Jitubhai Vaghani told reporters today.
He said both the leaders will be accorded a "grand welcome" along the route of the road show.
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's standing committee chairman Pravin Patel said a large number of people, including singing troupes who will be performing at 28 different locations along the route, will greet PM Modi and PM Abe.
"On the entire route of the the road show, which will also pass from Sabarmati Riverfront, we have erected 28 small stages where dancers from 28 different states, all dressed in their traditional attire, would showcase their performance when these leaders pass," said Mr Patel.
After visiting the Sabarmati Ashram, where Mahatma Gandhi lived between 1917 and 1930, both the leaders would take a break till evening, said Patel.
"In the evening, both the PMs would visit the iconic Sidi Saiyyed Mosque in the eastern part of the city. The mosque is known across the world for the stone lattice work," he said, adding that both the leaders would be shown a presentation about the city's heritage on the occasion.
PM Modi and PM Abe would then have dinner at 'Agashiye' restaurant located near the mosque, Mr Patel added.
On September 14, PM Abe and PM Modi will attend the ground breaking ceremony for the ambitious Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Project, commonly referred to as the Bullet Train project.

Paper Town is a Viennese Creative Studio which specializes in cardboard elements and architecture. They design everything from whimsical stage sets to multi-functioning furniture and grand sculptures to smaller Moroccan style light fixtures. In the name of green design, they give an alternative to plastic, metal, and wood, by betting on a more sustainable and cost-effective material – the cardboard.
Paper Town is made up of five talented individuals, all professionals in their own field. Philipp Blume, the architect, CEO and head designer of Paper Town, strongly believes in the possibilities cardboard has to offer. It's all about the play with proportions, possibilities, and interpretations, he says. The team consisting of engineers and media designers, together come up with storytelling cardboard landscapes. Theatrical designs are Paper Town's specialty. We've seen numerous designs gracing the stages of performers in the fields of music, theatre, and dance.
Paper Town is also responsible for some of the coolest and environmentally friendly cardboard fair sets: the Cubes set at the Pioneer Festival in 2012 and the light-up Sculptures at the Innotrans Berlin Show are amazing, and really show how versatile cardboard can be as a material. It has the most suitable properties for fairs and festivals: low cost manufacturing, easy transport and assembly and the best part, it can be 100% recycled after use! And when well designed, it also looks cool and can be used in multiple different ways.
Some of the most interesting pieces Paper Town has made are the commissioned cardboard sculptures in social space. The life-size, 10-foot CAT train they did for the City Airport Train here in Vienna, for their 10-year anniversary, built and showcased at one of the biggest and central malls found in the city, Wien Mitte the Mall. It will be on show till the end of January, so make sure to catch a glimpse before the weekend. It's located at the CAT lounge on the lower level of Wien Mitte.
Even though Paper Town mainly concentrates on large scale installations, some of their small scale product design is very creative as well. Fully functioning and usable furniture made of cardboard has been the rising trend lately, and we are sure Paper Town's designs are in for the competition. We wouldn't mind having the x-Pod cardboard table (pictured below with Philipp Blume)!
Check out more of Paper Town's design on their webpage, and keep up with their latest endeavors through their facebook page. Who know what they will come up with next!
