Union Square, New York City
Revised Proposal:
Buildings With Character
Architecture and Built Form
Mirvish Village is a unique site which requires an innovative solution. The proposed built form has evolved as a direct response to the site's unique context, history, surrounding communities and public benefits. The built form has evolved in response to comments received from the City, as part of the project team's ongoing public consultation, and in response to emerging municipal policy. The retention of additional heritage buildings, the provision of on-site park land, and enhanced transition to surrounding residential neighbourhoods have played a role in reshaping the proposed built form.
To give each building its own identity, Henriquez Partners Architects have developed a series of building typologies with a wide range of architectural expressions. The building typologies will inform all aspects of the design which will be based on a common grid, allowing each individual building to be assembled and reconfigured as a kit of parts. The combination of distinct building types will create a richly textured and intimate architecture, alluding to the historical pattern of development in downtown Toronto and along Bloor and Bathurst Street.
Mirvish Village has been carefully designed to ensure the built form and transition in scale respond to the existing neighbourhood fabric surrounding the site. The tallest towers in the development will be located on the east side of Markham Street, both to emphasize Bloor and Bathurst Street as an iconic corner and to minimize impacts on low-rise neighbourhood areas to the south and west. Each of the towers in Mirvish Village will be characterized by very small floor plates ranging from 500-600 square meters. These slender "micro-towers" will limit shadow impacts on surrounding areas, maximizing sunlight and sky views, while reinforcing the fine-grained character of retail along Bloor Street.

SU football opens Friday at home vs. Albright College
Aug 30th, 2018 · by Salisbury Independent · Comments:
Gene Chizik once said, "Tradition never dies" and that will be the moto for the 2018 Salisbury University football program. Head Coach Sherman Wood knows the challenges as new players within several skill positions will become first-time starters. "We continue to provide the great tradition we do during practice," Wood said. "We are going to have to make practice fun, motivational, and plenty of positive reinforcement." Drills and technique work are going to be at the forefront to help make camp fun but at the same time give the coaches an opportunity to take it to another level to get the most out of the players and optimize their potential and ability.
With a young team, Wood and the coaching staff are emphasizing the importance of minimizing mistakes. "Last season, I thought we hurt ourselves in which led to a couple of defeats," Wood said. "When you have a young team you need to protect the ball, do not give up big plays, and simply execute our game plan throughout the preseason and season," Wood said.
On the offensive side of the ball, the Sea Gulls will be replacing key departures from the 2017 squad and the most important and arguably the one in the spotlight more than any is the quarterback position. Sophomore Jack Lanham ascends into the starting position after receiving some playing time during his freshman year, in which he started in the Sea Gulls' ECAC Bowl game against Ithaca College. Lanham finished the 2017 season completing 42.1 percent of his passes for 154 yards and connecting for one touchdown.
"He's a competitor and a fighter. He has leadership ability and we hope he brings that out more than anything," Wood said.
Wood knows the challenges with a new and young starting quarterback but believes that he and staff are prepared to work with Lanham and get him ready for the upcoming season.
"It all starts in practice," Wood said. "Our practices will have to be a little different. We have to put the first-time starters in game-like situations as much as possible to give the team an easier path going into football games this season."
The Salisbury staff will also be focusing heavily on drill work but also keying in on the mental side.
"Whenever you are working with young people you have to focus on the mental aspect of the game and keep everything positive," Wood said. The coaching staff wants to make sure players like Lanham can polish their skills in drills and perfect practices to make everything more game like.
There will be new players surrounding Lanham offensively at the skill positions but according to Wood while they may be new they are experienced, especially when you are looking at players like super back Kadarrius Campbell.
"Campbell has been a mentor to a lot of our guys throughout the spring and this camp," Wood said.
Slot Michael Fowler is another player that Wood brought up as someone who can help lead the offense and bring a level comfortability to Lanham and the unit.
"These guys know they will have to support Jack and the rest of our quarterbacks" Wood said. "Again it starts with practice, meetings, and in camp overall."
The one unit that remains a constant coming into this season is the offensive line as four of five starters return from the 2017 squad.
"When you feel like you have a young offense you tend to lean on your offensive line. We have four of five returning starters on the offensive line, so we will be leaning on them more than ever before," Wood said.
It is a unit that is led by senior Andrew Houck, who along with his teammates helped pave the way for the eighth ranked rushing attack in the nation last season racking up 3,121 total yards, an average of 283.7 yards per game, and 37 rushing touchdowns.
One the areas Wood is really excited to watch and see is the defensive line.
"They are a special kind of group and they bring a lot of enthusiasm," Woods said.
Players such as Matthew McFarland and Isaac Johnson are key pieces to that unit and tone setters for not just the line but the entire defense and overall team. Wood knows the unit doesn't get a lot of glory but "they are the meat of what is going on during practice."
Defensive back Shane Gaines and linebacker Tom Montag are two other critical pieces of the defense and will be looked to lead both the defensive unit and team overall.
"You know what to expect from Shane and Tommy is the nicest person off the field but he is so intense once the helmet comes on," Wood said.
The defense will look to improve on their outstanding 2017 campaign in which they allowed an average of 276.5 yards per game, which ranked 23rd in the country and a 105.5 rushing yards per game mark which ranked in the top 50 in the nation. The defense also held opponents to an average of 13.9 points per game, which ranked 15th in the nation while surrendering an average of 9.8 point per contest in New Jersey Athletic Conference play.
It may be a forgotten part of the game for some teams but not on the Eastern Shore where Wood is a stickler for perfection on the special teams side of the ball. However, this year will be a challenge as two of the premiere special teams leaders graduated, Alex Potocko and Tim Steindl, leaving holes at the kicking and punting positions.
"One of the things we did from a recruiting perspective was to make sure we had young kids under the tutelage of both Steindl and Potocko," Wood said.
Trevor Skoglund and Bert Schrecongost know what the expectations are and are ready to compete for the positions while maintaining a certain level of excellence.
These are positions that need to be treated the same way as the quarterback position, according to Wood.
"We have to first make sure they are in game situations in practice to help build confidence and let them see things," Wood said.
The staff knows they need to be positive and patient with these players and put them in position to be successful.
The Sea Gulls will see all 10 opponents from last season and will play three times under the lights in 2018 including a Friday night home opener against Albright College on Friday night.
"We can't take anything for granted this year on the schedule," Wood said. He and his staff they know that as a program Salisbury couldn't ask for a better schedule in 2018. Starting with the Friday night opener where the stands will undoubtedly be full and the coaches can't let the emotions get too high or too low.
After Albright, Salisbury enters its bye week and will open NJAC play on Sept. 15 against Kean University before hosting The College of New Jersey one week later under the lights on Saturday, Sept. 22.
"Kean is a dark horse and a quality program," Wood said, "they are always big and competitive."
Wood believes his Sea Gulls can be in great shape heading into rival and Route 13 opponent Wesley College before closing out the season at Frostburg State University in the Battle of the Regents Cup.
The constant message to the team is "not to take anything for granted," Wood said. "We need to have a great camp, not a so-so camp, but a great camp and pay attention to detail. We want to be in the best shape ever and execute in every aspect of the game from start to finish."

Home - Facebook - Facebook Nasdaq Ticker Symbol Changed To META
Facebook Nasdaq Ticker Symbol Changed To META
When Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook was rebranding to Meta on October 28th, 2022, lots of speculations arose, with some painting a bleak or even uncertain future for the biggest social media company in the world. Some critics even claimed that the company was slowly collapsing for many reasons, with bad policies on free speech at the top of the list.
But amidst the divergent speculations that came with the unexpected rebranding news, one thing was clear. There was no turning back at this point, even as the rebranding was going to happen in gradual steps, from changing the old Facebook logo appearing on the social site and all of its related apps like Whatsapp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger to changing the company's ticker trading symbol on Nasdaq, which occurred on June 9th, all with the new Meta logo.
Facebook Changes Its Nasdaq Ticker Symbol To Meta.
Facebook Changes Its Nasdaq Ticker Symbol from FB to META To Reinforce Its Rebranding Goals. There's no need for an explanation from the company as to why it eventually dropped its old "FB" ticker symbol replacing it with a new "META" symbol, as it's clear to all that this is all part of the company's efforts to reinforce its rebranding goals.
Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of META, said that Facebook ended up rebranding to "create visual distinction" between the company and social app. He further explained, "Right now, our brand is so tightly linked to one product that it can't possibly represent everything that we're doing today, let alone in the future." The 38-year-old Harvard University dropout pointed out, "Over time, I hope that we are seen as a metaverse company, and I want to anchor our work and identity on what we're building toward."
Zuckerberg's message was that Facebook decided to rebrand so the company could be seen beyond just a social media company. That's because while it began primarily as a social media company, it has, over the years, metamorphosed into a company that specializes in many other products and services besides social media. As a matter of fact, the multi-billion worth technology company now offers more than 60 products and services. These include but are not limited to a diverse array of apps, a virtual reality platform, and hardware, not to mention search engine services.
Facebook Changes Its Nasdaq Ticker Symbol, and Its Stock Prices Decline Immediately Afterwards
Though experts have always maintained that a ticker symbol change is often insignificant to a company's stock values, Meta's stock performance immediately after its ticker symbol change yesterday did suggest otherwise. The company's stock values dropped by a whopping 6%, leaving investors with substantial daily losses. At market close on Thursday, Meta stock was selling at $184.00 each, down from $197.95 each.
While we witnessed a 6% drop yesterday, the months of April and May have seen Meta stock values decline furthest in 2022. For example, they declined to $179.50 on April 26th, $176.11 on May 24th, and $179.32 on May 25th, declining to an average of $178.31.
It's a great case scenario to prove that when it comes to Nasdaq trading, even the experts with all that knowledge and experience sometimes can get it all wrong. While it remains to be seen whether the ripple effect will or will not last long, what's certain is that sometimes rebranding comes at a cost.

Dulwich Trees - Davidia Involucrata
By Valerie Hill-Archer
Davidia Involucrata is a tree of great beauty. Known also as the 'Dove Tree', 'Ghost Tree' or 'Handkerchief Tree', all being very descriptive of its appearance whilst in flower. Discovered in China in 1869 by, and named after, Père Armond David, a French naturalist and missionary responsible for the introduction of many exotic species to Europe, both plants and animals, including the Giant Panda.
The genus Davidia only contains one species, but there are two varieties: Involucrata and Vilmoriniana. Involucrata refers to the bracks surrounding the flower-head, and Vilmoriniana is named after the French nurseryman, Maurice Lévêque de Vilmorian, who received some of the first seeds to grow. The difference between the two is subtle: Involucrata has short hairs on the undersides of its leaves; Vilmoriniana has none. Introduced to Europe in 1904, the tree was mainly planted in large estates and parklands.
Davidias do not flower young; they are usually at least 10-15 years old before the spectacular display can be seen for the first time. The tree is hardy and quite fast-growing; ultimately reaching a height of 10-15 metres. Gorgeous heart-shaped leaves are bright green. Flowers appear in late Spring/early Summer: red clusters surrounded by a pair of large pure white bracks, which hang down beneath the branches. In the breeze these flutter, giving the impression of huge butterflies or white doves. The flowers later form a fruit, a hard oval ridged nut, about the size of a small conker, which contains seeds. Leaves turn to dark burnished hews before falling. All together a wonderful tree that deserves to be more widely planted. Many fine mature specimens from early plantings can be seen in National Trust gardens and at Wisley and Kew.
Dulwich appeared to have only one tree in a public place, a relatively young specimen yet to flower, in the Picture Gallery's gardens. Having been made aware of the lack of Davidias in the south of the borough, Southwark Council were happy to plant one for us in a very large, empty tree pit at the junction of Beckwith Road and Half Moon Lane. The tree appears to be about 10-15 years old and is in a space where it should flourish and hopefully flower quite soon. Keep a watch on both these trees and look forward to their first 'flowerings' - a sight worth waiting for.

Return of the Conquering Heroes
Jim Thorpe's return to Carlisle after the 1912 Olympics was incorrectly described in at least one newspaper of the day and that description has found its way into current books on Jim Thorpe. Fortunately, The Star-Independent of Harrisburg, PA captured the event in minute detail in its August 16, 1912 edition. However, the article was too detailed to be included in this short piece. There is only room to summarize it here.
A crowd estimated to be between six and seven thousand people congregated at the Cumberland Valley Railroad (CVRR) station across from the James Wilson Hotel a block from the square in Carlisle for Thorpe's expected arrival at 12:30 p.m.. The crowd-shy hero avoided this multitude by getting off the train at Gettysburg Junction, where the South Mountain Railroad connected with the CVRR, about a mile east of the square. Automobiles waiting there secreted Thorpe, Lewis Tewanima, and Pop Warner to Carlisle Indian School, where they were "greeted informally by students and their closest friends."
From the Indian school the trio progressed to the parade which was split into three divisions, each of which was formed separately. The honorees were part of the first division which assembled along North Hanover Street, with its head at High Street (colloquially Main Street). Scheduled to start at 2:00 p.m., the parade, led by the first division, progressed east on High Street to Bedford Street, then followed a circuitous route along portions of each of the major streets in the center of town, eventually arriving at Biddle Field on the Dickinson College campus. There the official festivities started. After much speechifying, various events took place in town and on the Indian school campus (Carlisle Barracks). Fireworks were scheduled for 8:30 p.m. (EST probably), which were followed by an invitation-only reception and dance in the school's gymnasium (present day Thorpe Hall) to close the day's festivities.

Abel Kiviat, Olympian
Abel Kiviat
Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff Benjamin and his father Jack at Wardecker's Menswear and Jim Thorpe Museum in Carlisle. Jeff is a high school history teacher, a runner, and Senior Writer For The Running Network. His research topic is Abel Kiviat (6/23/1892-8/24/1991), the Hebrew runner as he was referred to in his day. Why might you ask was someone interested in a person with no direct ties to Carlisle, the Indian School, Dickinson College, the US Army War College or Carlisle Barracks come to Wardecker's? Kiviat was Jim Thorpe's roommate aboard the SS Finland on the voyage to Stockholm to compete in the 1912 Olympics.
Kiviat was a distance runner, as was his teammate on the ship, Carlisle's Lewis Tewanima but they didn't compete against each other in the Olympics. Kiviat came in second in the 1500 meter race to Britain's Arnold Jackson, who broke Kiviat's world record to win the gold medal. Kiviat also competed in the 3000 meter team event in which each country competing entered five runners as a team. Kiviat, coming in second overall, led the American contingent to a gold medal in the event.
Abel Kiviat had another tie to Carlisle. He trained with and competed for the Irish-American Athletic Club out of New York City. While preparing for the 1908 Olympics, Carlisle's Frank Mt. Pleasant, who had no Irish ancestry either, had also trained with the Irish-American Athletic Club.

Restore Jim Thorpe's Records
Thanks in great part to Florence Ridlon's and Bob Wheeler's tireless efforts, Jim Thorpe's Olympic medals were restored in 1983. That isn't entirely accurate. Thorpe's original medals were supposed to be kept secure in a museum but were stolen. So, the medals his children were given were commemorative ones, not their father's actual medals. The IOC may have restored his medals, sort of, but only listed him as co-champion of the 1912 decathlon and pentathlon, the two multi-event competitions he won but his times, distances and points were not restored. The IOC records still list the second-place finishers as the winning marks. Now, people are trying to do something about that injustice.
BrightPathStrong.com is circulating a petition with the goal of restoring Jim Thorpe's records. For those who might not be aware, Bright Path is the Anglicized version of Jim's Sac and Fox name. Here is a link to their site:

Thorpe Lost Olympic Medals 100 Years Ago
Last Thursday, Carlisle Sentinel reporter Joe Cress called to remind me that the 100th anniversary of the discovery of Jim Thorpe's professionalism was imminent. Joe was essentially right. In late-January 1913, Roy Johnson of the Worcester Telegram, wrote an article challenging Jim Thorpe's amateur status, based on a conversation he had with Charles C. A. Clancy, manager of the Winston-Salem baseball team of the Carolina League. According to Johnson's article, Clancy claimed that he paid Thorpe to pitch and play first base for his team during the 1910 season. On January 19, 1913, charges claiming Thorpe was not an amateur were filed with the AAU. On January 23, an interview of Clancy was published in which he denied that Thorpe played for his team or on any other team in the Carolina Association. On January 25, Pop Warner restated Clancy's position that Thorpe had not played for his team. That same day, the AP reported that Thorpe was negotiating a contract with the Tecumseh professional hockey team to play for them the next season.
An International News Service article dated January 25, 1913 included a claim by Peter Boyle stating that he played with Jim Thorpe in the Eastern Carolina Association. He also claimed that he was traded to the Rocky Mountain team in 1910 for Thorpe who was then playing for Fayetteville. On January 27, the AAU informed newspapers via telegram that "All doubt as to the truth of the charges has vanished and the members of the American Olympic Committee are prepared to make their apologies to the Swedes for having used Thorpe in the Olympic games." Shortly after that, Thorpe sent the AAU a letter (probably written by Warner) admitting his "professionalism" and returned his gold medals and other trophies.
Soon after this, Thorpe signed with the New York Giants but that is a story in itself.

Today's Event at the National Museum of the American Indian
Several decades ago, Robert W. Wheeler then a grad student at Syracuse hitchhiked coast to coast carrying an incredibly heavy reel-to-reel tape recorder to interview acquaintances of Jim Thorpe for his master's thesis. The project grew as the miles rolled on. His budget, however, didn't grow. But Bob persevered.
Years—it probably felt like decades—later, he had not just a master's thesis but a full length biography of the world's greatest athlete. After reading the book, Dick Schaap referred to Bob as Jim Thorpe's Boswell, drawing an analogy to the thoroughness of his research in comparison to that done by James Boswell in documenting the life of Samuel Johnson. Since Wheeler's book was first published, several other biographies of Thorpe have been written but they all draw on the painstaking work done by Wheeler.
The National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) is celebrating of the 100th anniversary of Jim Thorpe's triumphs in the Stockholm Games along with other Native Americans' participation, many for medals, in the Olympics. The entrance to the exhibit features a blown up photograph of Carlisle Indian Frank Mt. Pleasant broad jumping in his Dickinson College track uniform. Here is a link to information about the exhibit: http://nmai.si.edu/explore/exhibitions/item/504/
Today, Bob Wheeler is giving a talk at the NMAI that I will be attending. Those unable to attend can hear Bob speak on the NMAI's webcast of the event. Here is a link to the webcast: http://nmai.si.edu/calendar/?trumbaEmbed=date%3D20120817 Also speaking will be Flo Ridlon, Bob's wife, who played a crucial role in getting Thorpe's Olympic medals restored. Both are spellbinding speakers. This is an event not to miss.

Native Americans in 1904 Olympics – Part I
News outlets are now getting interested in Native Americans' participation in past Olympics, so I should share a little of that history in case the media should overlook important contributions. Everyone knows about the incomparable Jim Thorpe's triumphs in the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, but Native Americans were involved much earlier than that. There was too much earlier involvement to cover in one message, so I'll break this topic into installments beginning with the 1904 games held in St. Louis as part of the World's Fair (more properly called the Louisiana Purchase Centennial Exposition). Pairing the Olympic Games with a world's fair was not unusual at the time because the 1900 games were co-located with the Paris World's Fair. Including events that we moderns wouldn't consider appropriate as Olympic events wasn't unusual either.
The 1904 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the III Olympiad, conducted what must have been the most bizarre athletic contest ever. Some 3,000 native people from around the globe were brought to the fair for the Anthropology Exhibit. These people lived on the fair's ground in traditional dwellings and wore traditional attire. Finding appropriate food for them presented a bit of a problem. Legend has it that the neighborhood known as Dogtown got its name as being the place Igorots captured a favorite meat. Included in the Anthropology Exhibit were a number of Native Americans who represented several tribes. Adjacent to their tipis was the Model Government Indian School which was populated by Chilocco Indian School students and faculty. Having all these different "primitive" ethnic groups at their disposal was just too tempting for Fair and Olympic organizers.
On August 12 and 13 Ethnology Days were held. The Indian School Journal, which was printed in the Model School, had this to say about those games:
Our Indians Easy Winners
The athletic games held yesterday for members of the various races in the Anthropology Exhibit furnished one of the most unique entertainments imaginable. A remarkable collection of peoples were gathered together in the Stadium to vie with one another in contests of speed and endurance. There were wild-eyed Ainus, heavy-bearded and gorgeously clad; great, tall lumbering Patagonians; stockily built Moros; slender, tawny-skinned Syrians; long-haired Cocopas, wild and savage of aspect; and last but by no means least, pupils of the Indian School, clad in the conventional athletic habiliments of the white man.
And the winners were:
100-yd dash – 1. George Mentz (Sioux)
120-yd low hurdles – 1. Leon Poitre (Chippewa), 2. George mentz
High jump – 1. George Ments, 2. Black Whitebear
440-yd run – 1. George Mentz, 2. Simon Marques (Pueblo)
Mile run – 1. Black Whitebear
Baseball throw – 2. Frank Moore (Pawnee)
Lone Star Dietz qualified for the finals in the shot put, but apparently did not win the event.
Prizes of $50 or more were given to the winners. Apparently, the Indians did not participate in the mud-throwing and pole climbing events. From the results of these events, AAU Secretary James E. Sullivan, concluded that the results "prove conclusively that the savage is not the natural athlete we have been led to believe."

Google's Daydream 6DOF Controllers Now Shipping To Developers
The first unboxing video for Google's 6DOF controllers hit the Web as the first wave of developer kits appear to be shipping out.VR and AR developer Alex Coulombe posted the following video showing the complete contents of the developer kit, including AAA batteries and a charger for them as well as the controllers, the "tracking faceplate" and a cord to connect it to the Lenovo Mirage Solo standalone VR headset. The USB-C connector on the controllers is for "flashing" them, not for charging, according to a paper in the unboxing video.If Google is developing a standalone VR headset with the same controller tracking technology built into the headband, it is possible the company could provide robust inside-out tracking in a next generation system. Google's investments in VR so far suggest its efforts have been focused on the unique capabilities of 6DOF hand controllers, and I think this kit could be a hint that the company is doubling down on standalone VR in 2019.

Dan + Shay's "10,000 Hours" Makes Country Music History
Photo credit: Catherine Powell
GRAMMY-winning duo Dan + Shay are expanding country music around the world as their single "10,000 Hours" with pop superstar Justin Bieber breaks records at more than 75 million global streams, making it the biggest first-week streaming total in country music history by a wide margin.
Additionally, with more than 250,000 U.S. track equivalents, "10,000 Hours" is the first song by a country duo or group ever to debut in the Billboard Hot 100's top five. Arriving at No. 1 on their Country Streaming Songs and all-genre Digital Song Sales charts, this is also Dan + Shay's third song to reach the top of Billboard'sHot Country Songs chart.
Dan + Shay The (Arena) Tour, announced last week, is off to an epic start with their show at Madison Square Garden selling out in less than 90 minutes. The 35+ date tour is presented by AEG Presents and follows their sold-out Dan + Shay The Tour earlier this year. As one of the most-nominated artists at this year's CMA Awards, Dan + Shay are up for Duo of the Year, Album of the Year, and Single of the Year for their 3x Platinum, four-week No. 1 hit "Speechless," with Smyers receiving an additional nomination for Song of the Year as a co-writer on 4x Platinum, multi-week No. 1 "Tequila" for the second year in a row. CMT also recently announced Dan + Shay as one of the top country superstars of 2019 to be celebrated at this year's 10th Annual "CMT Artists of the Year" special, airing this Wednesday (10/16) at 8pm ET/PT.
In the seven years since they formed, they have amassed nearly 4 billion streams globally, accumulated 17 total RIAA Platinum and Gold certifications and six No. 1 singles at country radio. They took home their first-ever GRAMMY earlier this year and followed the honor by becoming the most-awarded artist at the ACM Awards before going on to earn CMT Music, Billboard Music and Teen Choice Awards, effectively sweeping the country categories.

Q: Fetching associated city data from webserver to device I know there are hundreds of questions about this, but I need to get an answer to all these questions.
Summary of my application (not my question):
An application which has a map where it creates numerous markers (points of interest). When the user walks into the marker, it fires the information about that place. That information consists in the title of the place, slideshow using images from sdcard, some audio (with controls) and a small text description.

Now my big question: I need to create the best way to download all this data to my device!

I thought of downloading all the database using an XML file created by PHP.
Why I think this won't work the way I want.
I need to filter the information I want the user to download.
Well, the user just needs to Tick the information he wants to download, for example a couple of cities that have information.
For this, I thought of creating an dialog like this

After the user selects the cities he wants, the application must receive the information according to cities selected.
I'm here trying to find an answer for the best way of doing this.
All I have is an MySQL Database with the following structure:
id | name | radius | coords
I think by adding an column regarding the city it is associated will workout.
Regarding the information data, it will have the following folder structure:
/sdcard/{app_name}/{id_of_the_point}/{.jpg/.mp3/.txt}
For the sdcard, I compress all this information in a zip and thought of downloading it to the device and extract it somewhere in the sdcard.
Posting all the information, I need you guys to give me the best practice of doing this!
Thanks in advance!

A: ``You need to use a class extending overlay classes ,for example(do note,this code is for fetching json not xml)
public class LocationOverlay extends ItemizedOverlay<OverlayItem> {

private ArrayList<OverlayItem> overlayItemList = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>();
Context context;

public LocationOverlay(Drawable marker, Context c) {
    super(boundCenterBottom(marker));
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    populate();
    context = c;
}

@Override
protected boolean onTap(int index) {

    Toast.makeText(context,
            "Touch on marker: \n" + overlayItemList.get(index).getTitle(),
            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    // code for passing storeid's
    OverlayItem item = overlayItemList.get(index);
    String idex = (item.getTitle());
    Intent idtent = new Intent(context, StoreDetails.class);
    idtent.putExtra("&", idex);
    context.startActivity(idtent);
    return true;

}

public void addItem(GeoPoint p, String title) {
    OverlayItem newItem = new OverlayItem(p, title, null);
    overlayItemList.add(newItem);
    populate();

}

@Override
protected OverlayItem createItem(int i) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return overlayItemList.get(i);
}

@Override
public int size() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return overlayItemList.size();
}

now simply in the class where you are displaying the map ,do this
Double jlat = j4.getDouble("Latitude");
                    Double jlon = j4.getDouble("Longitude");
                    Log.v("Latitude", jlat + "n");
                    Log.v("Longitude", jlon + "n");

                    // Get the distance between lat long
                    Location locationA = new Location("point A");

                    locationA.setLatitude(slat);
                    locationA.setLongitude(slon);

                    Location locationB = new Location("point B");

                    locationB.setLatitude(jlat);
                    locationB.setLongitude(jlon);

                    distance = (int) locationA.distanceTo(locationB);
                    String str = " (" + String.valueOf(distance) + " meters)";
                    Log.v("Distance", str);

                    // adjust drawable params
                    Drawable marker = getResources().getDrawable(
                            android.R.drawable.star_big_on);
                    Drawable user = getResources().getDrawable(
                            android.R.drawable.arrow_down_float);
                    int userWidth = user.getIntrinsicWidth();
                    int userHeight = user.getIntrinsicHeight();
                    user.setBounds(0, userHeight, userWidth, 0);
                    int markerWidth = marker.getIntrinsicWidth();
                    int markerHeight = marker.getIntrinsicHeight();
                    marker.setBounds(0, markerHeight, markerWidth, 0);

                    // refernc to overlay class
                    LocationOverlay myItemizedOverlay = new LocationOverlay(
                            marker, MapActivity.this);
                    LocationOverlay myItemizedOverlay1 = new LocationOverlay(
                            user, MapActivity.this);
                    mapView.getOverlays().add(myItemizedOverlay);
                    mapView.getOverlays().add(myItemizedOverlay1);

                    // create geopoint for user
                    GeoPoint usr = new GeoPoint((int) (slat * 1e6),
                            (int) (slon * 1e6));
                    // add overlay(user) to user's location
                    myItemizedOverlay1.addItem(usr, "User");
                    mc.animateTo(usr);

and in the class above you can add any sort of handler whenever the user taps a geopoint..

A: I haven't worked on this project till now.
So after all the research, I found the best way to do this.
I used JSON :)
Firstly, populate the multi-select dialog using json data (working on it)
Secondly, after selecting, using json, fetch all the data associated to the selected city.

And my problem is now gone! :)

Young people rate official UK political party memes
By UWS Newsroom on December 10, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )
by Rebecca Weinberg
Ahead of the general election this Thursday, the UK's political parties have been utilising social media in a frenzied attempt to appeal to young voters. Between the election being called, and the deadline to register, two-thirds of the 3 million newly registered voters were under the age of 35.
Are the party-generated memes, at least in part, responsible for this huge spike in young voters? Are the memes even good?
UWS News asked young people to rate official memes from three major UK political parties, in a bid to find out if these memes are strengthening party campaigns, or simply alienating young voters.
First up is the Labour party's recent attempt at humour, with this Jimmy Kimmel-inspired "mean tweets" video.
This was surprisingly fun. pic.twitter.com/Tjl60l70bl
— Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) December 9, 2019
Did Jeremy Corbyn's fireside reading warm up young voters to the potential PM, or leave them feeling cold?
"I really enjoyed the video," says Eilidh Swinton, a 23-year old MSc Publishing student from Moodiesburn. The Labour voter elaborates: "It was creative and very funny. I'm a Labour girl anyway, but it's made me like Jeremy Corbyn more. The video gave me a bit more insight into his character in comparison to what we see on the likes of the BBC or STV. However, I can see people believing that he's trying too hard to relate to young people." Eilidh rates this meme 7.5/10, stating that the final joke increases her rating.
Next, is the Conservatives' "lo fi boriswave beats to relax/get brexit done to" compilation.
Taking inspiration from popular YouTube "lo-fi beats to relax and study to" videos, this meme definitely took the public by surprise, judging by the reaction on Twitter. The reaction of our young voters seems to be one of incredulity, also.
"I first came across this this meme early in the morning, and whilst looking at it I started to wonder if I was still asleep," opines Joe James, a 21-year old Glaswegian student and undecided voter. "It's an extremely bizarre move from the Conservative Party, and one that is unlikely to influence too many into their ways. Not for the first time, the Conservatives look completely out of touch with voters and young people in particular." Joe gives this meme a weak 4/10 rating.
"The music is relaxing," says 27-year old lorry driver Sean Lawless, from Inverness. The Conservative voter continued: "But it misses the point of a meme and doesn't give me any amusement or information. It hasn't changed my opinion on the vote, though I'm finding Boris' voice very reassuring with this track playing – I didn't expect that!" Sean also rates Boris' beats 4/10.
Our final contender is the Liberal Democrats' rather obscure meme, wherein MP Sam Gyimah implies that Melania is endorsing the Lib Dems by wearing yellow.
pic.twitter.com/1y8fayLHa1
— Sam Gyimah (@SamGyimah) December 3, 2019
The meme draws upon the idea that the First Lady of the US has been sending secret messages through her clothing choices. This conspiracy has recently been more popularised by the unauthorised biography "Free, Melania", written by CNN White House reporter Kate Bennett.
Do the UK's young voters understand the intention behind this Tweet?
"I don't get it," says Tracey Matheson, a 22-year old customer service representative and Labour voter, from Glasgow. "Why would you want Melania Trump endorsing you, whether or not she is sending coded cries for help? It seems like a ham-fisted attempt to appeal to young people, without thinking of what it means. I think worse of [the Lib Dems] now." Tracey gives this meme a paltry 3/10.
"It appears counterproductive in its message," states Kieron Swiecicki, a 23-year old London-based receptionist. "The wife of Donald Trump is hardly an icon for the left-wing to follow. This has only increased my weariness with the centrist party." Kieron, a Labour voter, rates this meme 1/10.
The young voters we spoke to seem to be cautious when consuming political memes, with many of them feeling the UK parties have missed the mark when it comes to humour. Labour's "mean tweets" video received the best reception, while the Lib Dem's coded message remained encrypted. The memes, though mildly influential, did not change anyone's core political stance.

DO IT—TWELVE LESSONS FROM TWENTY YEARS IN THE ARTS

5 Lessons Learned from Fairy Tales Anna Yeatts
Who doesn't know the formula for a fairy tale? It's so deeply ingrained in our cultural lexicon that we naturally begin and end our modern stories with those familiar words:
And they all lived happily ever after.
No matter the format, we love fairy tales. Fractured, retold, spiced up, or sanitized, we can't seem to get enough of them. But why? They're not particularly novel. Damsels are usually in distress. Women of a certain age are bound to be as evil as they are wrinkled. Never trust talking animals. But whether we realize it or not, flawed as fairy tales might be, they attempt to explain how to navigate a world caught between the forces of good and evil.
I'm not going to claim to be a fairy tale expert. But I was a nerdy bookworm of a child. I'd hide away for hours on end with Snow White, Cinderella, The Twelve Dancing Princesses, Thumbelina, and any other fairy tales I could get my hands on.
And I have to say that I learned a thing or two.
1. Appearances are deceiving.
It's a given that anyone who looks too kind to hurt a fly is a cold-blooded killer in disguise. Random animals in tailcoats, top hats, or brandishing any object that should require opposable thumbs are definitely cursed royalty. And anyone dressed like a scullery maid, peasant, pauper, or otherwise decked out in dirt, tatters, or animal skins is also one makeover show away from being the love of your life.*
Oh, and never trust anyone who comes bearing snacks. They're usually a harbinger of death or Death himself. Especially don't eat fairy food. Or piss off fairies. Politely say, "No, thank you."
*To all the fairy tale heroes and heroines whose crushes were outwardly a swan, frog, donkey, cat, or another type of not-approved-for-consensual-relationships critters? That's hella awkward.
2. Don't get greedy.
Put down the gold. Back away slowly. Yes, I know you could really use the extra cash. Maybe drop a side hustle or two and still have some coinage leftover for a new pair of shoes. And speaking of shoes, fairy tales have taught me that my shoe addiction is as old as time—also problematic. I totally relate to Karen in The Red Shoes, Cinderella and a sparkly glass kitten heel (because girl was not running in a glass stiletto), and all those princesses dancing right through their bespoke slippers.
But just like an adjustable-rate mortgage or that no-interest for twelve months credit card offer, there's always a catch.
Folks (magical and otherwise) will show up with offers of fulfilling your wildest dreams. They only need one thing from you in advance—a teensy tiny promise (usually a firstborn… no matter how broke and desperate you are, hold onto those babies). Basically, be careful of the promises you make. Better yet, don't make any promises at all.
3. Third time's the charm.
Don't even get me started on try/fail cycles and how important that third one is. (Actually, if you would like to get me started on those pesky try/fail cycles and other writerly techniques, head on over to patreon.com and become a Patron of FFO.)
But that whole "if at first, you don't succeed, try, try again" thing? True. Don't believe me? Just ask Goldilocks. Or Snow White's evil assassin-queen. Or that poor courtier in Cinderella sent to try on shoes.
4. Stay on the path (unless you're ready to get woke.)
Look, I get it. You've been on that path for what seems like forever, and it feels like the same-old, same-old, am I right? Maybe it's cooler under that creepy looking tree just over there. Or perhaps your bladder is angry at that last flagon of ale you tossed back and you'd prefer to take care of that with a modicum of privacy. Or you're late for a very important date and what could it hurt just to cut a corner?
But this is like Fairy Tale Survival 101: Get off that path, and you will get lost. And don't say that no one warned you. Everyone warned you—more than once. But there you went, not listening again.
It's only when you're good and truly lost that you can see what you're made of. Bad things always happen. What matters is how you respond. So if you keep your wits about you?
You might just find yourself.
5. The most powerful magics lie within.
In fairy tales, even the small, the weak, and the downtrodden overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. Anyone can be royalty no matter how impoverished their background. Families will break your heart (and sometimes attempt to murder you) but they'll also be there, shoring you up, when you need to shove a witch into an oven.
Even in the darkest moments, trust that you have what it takes. Sure, the shadows are full of creatures with fangs and claws who'd like to have you for lunch. But you needn't be afraid to question authority—to look in the locked room, open the chest, kiss the frog. Save the day. Save the ones you love. Save yourself.
The stories in this month's issue are (if you hadn't guessed already) fairy tales.
In "Silver and Shadow, Spruce and Pine," FFO alumnus Maria Haskins weaves a classic fairy tale anew. From fellow FFO alumnus Dafydd McKimm, "Gingerbread" follows a devastated Hansel as he attempts to make peace with his past and reclaim his future. And from Audrey R. Hollis, "Lipstick for Villains" because what evil queen would be complete without her ruby red lipstick? Finally, in "The Well Man" by T.J. Butler, a woman must look inside herself to find the power necessary to save the family farm.
And that's not all! A writing advice column from Jason S. Ridler with in-the-trenches advice for every struggling writer.

"He came to Nazareth, where he had grown up." Did you grow up in a small town? Whenever you see sto-ries of tight-knit communities, a common refrain is that everybody knows everybody and that's very diffi-cult to change. If you leave and return, people expect you to be and act a certain way, and it's strange for them if you do not. In today's Gospel, we see that Je-sus was already moving "in the power of the Spirit and news of him spread throughout the whole region. He...was praised by all." His ministry has begun! News of his growing popularity must have proceeded him to Nazareth. Upon his arrival, he "went according to his custom into the synagogue on the sabbath day." For the first few moments, he is what they expect - their hometown boy returning to pay his respects. As was common of men at the time, he takes a turn reading a passage of Sacred Scripture. It is a bold passage, one he selects intentionally. "He unrolled the scroll and found the passage where it was written: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me." After reading about holy anointings, liberation for the poor and prisoners, and physical healings, Jesus does the unthinkable. "'Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.'" We are all called to imitate Christ wherever we are. This might mean doing the unexpected! All too often we're content with the daily status quo, and so are the people around us. When we take a stand for Christian values, change our lifestyle to reflect the Gospel, and work for justice in society, we may make others un-comfortable. But Jesus doesn't call us to the same life we lived yesterday or the year before that. He is call-ing all of us - each and every one of us - to deeper conversion of heart. No matter what other people ex-pect, will you love in the Spirit of the Lord today?

Biographie
Thomas Charles Leeson Rowbotham est le fils de l'aquarelliste Thomas Leeson Scrase Rowbotham (1783-1853). Formé par son père, il réalise un premier travail sérieux en 1847 lors d'un voyage de croquis au Pays de Galles.

Œuvre

Son travail a été exposé à la Royal Academy et à la Suffolk Street Gallery et dans d'autres galeries prestigieuses de l'époque. En 1848 il est élu associé du Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colors, il en devient membre à part entière en 1851.

Il succéde à son père en tant que professeur de dessin à la Royal Naval School de New Cross à Greenwich. Ensemble, ils ont collaboré pour réaliser The Art of Painting in Watercolours. Thomas Charles a aussi réalisé les illustrations de l'œuvre de son père : The Art of Sketching from Nature.

Plus tard, il se spécialise dans les paysages italiens, en particulier les paysages côtiers et lacustres. En 1875, Rowbotham publie un petit volume intitulé English Lake Scenery and Picturesque Scottish Scenery ; il publie également une série de vues chromolithographiques de Wicklow et Kilarney. Une série de paysages intitulée T.L. Rowbotham's Sketch Book a été publiée après sa mort.

Il a publié plusieurs ouvrages de paysages anglais, écossais et irlandais.

Chicago—There is no evidence that the risk of prostate cancer is increased with testosterone treatment in hypogonadal men according to the European Association of Urology (EAU). Ahmad Haider, MD, and Karim Sultan Haider, MD, conducted an analysis of symptomatic men with testosterone ≤350 ng/dL compared with untreated controls. Results were reported during a poster session at the ASCO 2018 Annual Meeting in a poster titled Prostate Cancer (PCa) Incidence and Severity in Hypogonadal Men Treated with Testosterone Compared to Untreated Controls: Experience from 6500 Patient-Years from a Controlled Registry Study.
The treated group included 412 men who received testosterone undecanoate 1000 mg every 3 months following an initial 6-month interval for up to 12 years. The control group included 393 hypogonadal men who decided against testosterone treatment; age of the men in the control group ranged from 51 to 74 years. Total observation time covered approximately 6500 patient-years. Prior to initiation of treatment/observation, prostate cancer was excluded by transrectal ultrasound, digital rectal examination, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measurement. Examinations were repeated between one and four times per year; when indicated by EAU guidelines, biopsies were performed.
In the testosterone group, 2.7% (n=11) men were diagnosed with prostate cancer, compared with 8.9% (n=35) in the control group. The mean baseline age of men diagnosed with prostate cancer was 65.3 years in the testosterone group and 63.7 years in the control group. The average time span between the day of first injection and positive biopsy in the testosterone group was 386 days; prostate cancer was diagnosed at any time during the observation period in the control group.
Radical prostatectomy was performed in all men in the testosterone group; all but two patients had a Gleason score ≤6 and all had a primary Gleason score of 3. In all 11 men with prostate cancer in the testosterone group, tumor grade was G2; tumor stage was T2a in 64% (n=7) and T2c in 9% (n=1).
In the control group, radical prostatectomy was performed in all but six patients; those six received radiation therapy. Seven patients received both radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy. Gleason score was ≤6 in two patients, seven had Gleason score of 7, 16 had a Gleason score of 8, and 10 had a Gleason score of 9. Four men had a primary Gleason score of 3, 22 a primary Gleason score of 4, and nine a primary Gleason score of 5. In eight patients (22.9%), tumor grade was G2; tumor grade was G3 in 27 (77.1%) of patients. Tumor stage was T2a in two patients (5.7%), T2c in one (2.0%), and T3b (37.1%) in 13 patients.
Biochemical recurrence occurred in 10 patients (28.6%) in the control group. Those 10 patients received androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Twelve patients in the control group died; seven of the 12 were on ADT.
There were no biochemical recurrences or deaths in the testosterone group during the observation time.
"Prostate cancer incidence and severity in testosterone-treated hypogonadal patients were less compared to untreated hypogonadal controls," the researchers concluded.

Women and Climate Change: Vulnerable Victims or Empowered Agents of Resilience?
November 1, 2016, 3:00 pm-4:00 pm
Climate change has a disproportionate impact on women: Social, political, cultural, and economic inequalities put women at greater risk in the face of climate-related issues like extreme weather and destruction of biodiversity and ecosystems. But women are also critical agents of change with the potential to strengthen climate resilience within their communities. How can the private sector increase the adaptive capacity of women to enhance the broader resilience of business and society?

The scene was Israel about 1160 years before Christ. The Midianites were causing great suffering among the Israelites. Gideon was threshing wheat when God called Gideon and told him that he would deliver his people. Like so many others called by God to accomplish a God sized mission, Gideon was feeling uneasy about the task before him. The Lord said to him, (Judges 6:23) "Peace to you, do not fear; you shall not die." 24 Then Gideon built an altar there to the Lord and named it The Lord is Peace. To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrite.
The phrase "The Lord is Peace" is the focus of today's devotional. To understand it, we must go back to the time when (in Exodus 3) God told Moses to return to Egypt to deliver his people. Moses responded "Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they say to me, 'What is His name?' what shall I say to them?" And God said to Moses, "I Am Who I Am." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, "I Am has sent me to you." Exodus 3:13,14.

An anechoic chamber is a room designed to completely absorb reflections of sound. Orfield Labs in South Minneapolis has an anechoic chamber that has held the Guinness World Record for the "World's Quietest Room" since 2004. The room is built with fiberglass acoustic wedges 3.3-feet thick, and it has double walls of insulated steel and one-foot thick concrete. Measured at -9 decibels, the room is so quiet that you can hear your blood flowing. The silence is so maddening it can cause hallucinations. The longest anyone has been able to bear the room was 45 minutes.
When I first heard of this room, my thoughts went immediately to a missionary who shared with me what he thought hell would be like. The picture he painted was that of a person alone in total darkness forever. So often classic images of hell portray a large number of people writhing in agony in an inferno. Whether the image of fire is literal or metaphorical is one issue. But who is to say that hell is a communal experience, as opposed to one of total isolation. A student of the Bible could go either way on this question. I recently read an article in which CS Lewis was reported to have said something like, "Hell is no one but yourself, forever and ever." What a terrifying thought!

Key Take-aways: a) Jesus doesn't just give us peace, He is our peace! – b) Peace is not the absence of conflict.
True peace is oneness and the secret of oneness is a Person!
For he himself is our peace… (Ephesians 2:14a).
This is not mere doctrine. If you are having a conflict with anybody, this is the way of peace: For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one. Paul starts with a definition of what true peace really is. True peace is oneness. It is not merely the cessation of hostility, the absence of conflict; it means being one. Anything else is superficial and temporary and highly unsatisfactory. You know this to be true. You have made peace on superficial terms and have found it only external. If you merely agree not to fight, it is not peace. And invariably it results in a new outbreak, with all the previous animosity surging to the surface once again. This is why what we call peace among nations never lasts–because it isn't really peace. It isn't oneness at all. It is only a weariness with warfare, an agreement to stop it for awhile until we can all recuperate and rearm. Then it breaks out all over again, because nothing is ever settled.
But here the apostle tells us the secret of peace. The secret of oneness is a Person: he himself is our peace. And when Christ Jesus makes peace–between individuals or between nations–that peace will be a satisfying, permanent, and genuine peace. 'What Paul is saying is that in order to live at peace, you must have peace. The problem with most of us is that we want to start by clearing up only the results of conflict. God never starts there; He starts with the person. He says peace is a Person, and in order for you to live at peace with someone else, you must be at peace with the Person of Christ. If you have His peace, then you can start solving the conflict around you. But you never can do it on any other basis. So the place to start, the origin of peace, is the settling of any problems between you and Jesus Christ.
Many people come to me with various problems involving conflict. Usually they are upset, troubled, discouraged, or angry. They report all the terrible things the other person has done and all the reasons they are justified in being so angry. I listen to it all, and then I say to them, Yes, you've got a problem. But that isn't your only problem. You really have two problems. And the one you haven't mentioned at all is the one you must start with. Then I point out to them that their basic problem is that they don't have any peace themselves. They are upset, angry, and emotionally distraught. And everything they do is colored by that emotional state. And it is impossible to solve the problem until they themselves acquire peace.
But this is the promise of God to Christians: He is our peace. And once their attitude is changed, once their heart is settled, once they have put the matter into the hands of the Lord and they see that He is active in it, that He has a solution, and their own heart is therefore at peace, then they can begin to understand what is happening and can apply some intelligent remedies to the situation that will work out the problem. There is profound psychological insight in the fact that the apostle begins with the declaration that Christ is our peace. He alone can accomplish it.
Father, thank You for the access I have to You. Help me to believe the message of peace and thus to enter into the joy and peace of life with You.
Life Application: Peace is the absence of war, but what is true peace? What is the inevitable result of peace made based on external conditions? Where do we find true peace & oneness?

Woodford Folk Festival, 2009
Ana Stevenson
The Woodford Folk Festival is an annual celebration of culture: the arts, the environment and the carnivalesque. According to Neil Cameron in 1995,
It is certainly a festival of misrule, where people can throw off the problems and limitations of their normal lives for a while and have fun. ... They can live in a world of their imagination.
As a festival of international standing, Australia's biggest folk festival attracts over 128,000 people from South East Queensland (55%), intrastate (12%), interstate (30%) and all over the world (3%) every year. The culturally rebellious nature of the Woodford Folk Festival embodies a spirit of 'liberation and self-expression' that continues to engage the hearts and minds of festivalians, both old and new, as the cultural prominence of the festival increases every year.
The Queensland Folk Federation (QFF) first held the festival at the Maleny Showgrounds on the Sunshine Coast hinterlands, during the 1987 Easter weekend. Developing out of the existing folk movement and the imagination of Bill Hauritz, the Maleny Folk Festival aspired to bring together the artistic expressions of different cultures. However, by 1994 the festival had exceeded the capabilities of the Maleny site and, after an extensive search for an appropriate new site, was re-established upon a 500 acre dairy farm/parkland outside the township of Woodford. According to Neil Cameron,
Even at a distance one could feel the energy, the feeding of life. I knew that this was the last ever Maleny Folk Festival to be held on these grounds and I wondered if I would ever see this sight again.
The traditional custodians of the festival site are the Jinibara people, with whom the QFF have signed a Memorandum of Understanding that has established a relationship of mutual understanding and respect.
After an intensive period of infrastructure implementation, the first Woodford Folk Festival upon its new landscape was held over the Christmas-New Year's season (27 December to 1 January) of 1994. The site is now also home to two other annual QFF festivals: The Planting (a weekend dedicated to the environmental enhancement of the festival site) in May and The Dreaming (a festival which showcases indigenous arts and culture from Australia and across the world) in June. The cultivation of the festival site has since continued to intensify the festival experience and use the landscape in an environmentally sustainable manner. In public consciousness, the Woodford Folk Festival is an event that is reflective of the evolving nature of Australian society.
The Woodford Folk Festival is a melting pot of the music, dance, poetry, handicrafts, clothing, visual culture and food of contemporary Australian subcultures, Indigenous Australian ceremony and the cultures of the world. Presenting over 500 distinctive acts, the diversity of entertainment along with the variety and breadth of musical and cultural experiences available to attendants over the course of the festival is truly enlightening. These performers and performances shape the ideological landscape of the festival site. Moreover, the festival promotes a grassroots approach to entertainment where amateur musicians, poets, storytellers and comedians are encouraged to share their talents. There is a strong commitment to the Murri Programme, which features a variety of Indigenous performers and performance styles. As well as creating a space for the interaction and expression of existing cultural forms, the festival creates a subversive site for discussion on contemporary political issues in forums, panels, comedy sessions and public debates. The festival entertainment, as well as its conception of itself in the public eye, has espoused a transformative nature over the years. Many of the younger festival performers have been immersed in the cultural landscape and energy of the festival since they were children. This has encouraged diversity in a performance atmosphere of enthusiasm that engages the performers themselves and the audience alike.
The environmental landscape of the Woodford Folk Festival is a consequential element of the festival experience. Over the years, the festival streetscape and surrounding Glasshouse Mountains landscape has become integral to the character of the event, its self conception and functional operation. To protect the environmental beauty inherent in the festival landscape, the infrastructure on the site has been built in accord with the ethos of the 500 Year Plan. This concept is bound to the ideology that every decision should have a view toward the future: new infrastructure should be 'architecturally splendid', environmentally complementary and ecologically sound. Therefore, there are very few permanent buildings on the festival site with intention only to add essential structures; those that are permanent include the 43 amenities blocks and the cider house. The mud or dust of the gravel-covered festival streetscape – lined with tents, colourful flags and lanterns – create the makeshift charm which defines the festival.
Therefore, the responsible environmental development and engagement of the Woodford Folk Festival site, along with an ongoing aim to make the festival environmentally friendly and eventually carbon neutral, has always been, and remains, vitally important to the festival ethos. With respect to the original land custodians, the festival maintains a strong environmental ethos to protect and sustain the festival village site. The QFF recognises in their 2009 Environmental Policy that 'sustainable resolutions to environmental issues can be brought about through a cultural agenda', advocating their responsibility to create a 'safe and healthy' festival site as well as 'to conserve and enhance the natural environment.' As such, the land has been regenerated through various environmental activities that take place on the site both during the festival and throughout the year. Extensive tree planting fundraising is conducted during the Woodford Folk Festival and the GREENhouse venue features a variety of environmentally based talks and activities. The desire for the future is to make the festival site a 'people's parkland' that can be enjoyed by all. It is the distinctiveness of the festival landscape that continues to express the ethos of the event.
The carnivalesque
For many festivalians, the Woodford Folk Festival creates an alternate reality that can truly be understood in terms of the carnivalesque. The streetscape of the festival village is constantly interactive. The streets are lined with handicraft and food stalls, while street theatre is an ever present and enlivening element of the festival landscape all the way up the mountain. Buskers often line the streets and eclectic performing groups (featuring everything from quirky instruments and fire twirling to Morris dancing) perform in the middle of the streets to enthusiastic congregations of onlookers. Moreover, roving performance ensembles – from bands of musicians to street theatre performers – parade through the lantern-lit streets, gathering crowds as they go by. New incarnations of the carnivalesque arise and develop through each festival experience. The children's festival is especially interactive, designed to 'inspire and empower' and to encourage the youngest of the merry-makers to get involved in the festive atmosphere, while the Circadia tent teaches circus-based skills and encourages physical activities for younger attendees. Additionally, the comical Woodford foot bus traverses the highways and byways of the festival village daily. The atmosphere of cheerful spontaneity that is encouraged by the interactive activities on the streets of the festival village has developed an attitude of reverence towards the experience of the Woodford Folk Festival.
Nose rings and coloured things,
Shooting Stars and magic rings;
Cooking smells and Morris bells
And fiddle di diddle di dee!
The drummers drum throughout the night;
Lanterns burn with ghostly light
To welcome in the coming year
And bless the promised land.
– from the Woodford Anthem
Every year, the Woodford Folk Festival creates a community of enchantment in which folklore and humanity are at the heart of the celebrations. The vitality of the performances, as well as the interactivity of the dance and musical workshops, liberate participants from the bounds of conventionality and encourage a sense of belonging. Indeed, the communal spirit engendered through the festival landscape is expressed through the colloquial expression of 'The People's Republic of Woodford'. Moreover, ceremony is an important element of the festival ethos. The traditional custodians of the Woodford site, the Jinibara people, present a ceremony of welcome at the commencement of the festival. New Year's Eve is characterised by three minutes of silence to honour absent friends and share in a universal prayer. The Fire Event on New Year's Day, the final evening of the festival, is 'Australia's most popular and renowned incidence of ritual-theatre', in which reverence for Mother Earth and the expression of New Age spirituality is espoused. The Woodford Folk Festival is a truly unique Queensland landscape and Queensland experience that tantalises the imagination and allows people to dream.
