Cedar City is no longer just a pit-stop along I-15 on your way to St. George or Zion National Park, and hasn’t been for years. Cedar City is a robust and diverse destination with its Shakespeare Festival, bomber mountain biking trails for endless miles, access to jaw-dropping hiking trails, and a food scene that has everything from Peruvian to Thai to Mexican cuisine that no small town should be expected to contain. But Cedar City consistently goes above and beyond expectations. Be prepared to fall in love with your new favorite southern Utah town.
Founded in 1961, this festival has received a Tony, an Emmy, and dozens of other awards over the decades as the world continues to recognize this exceptional theater production. Every year from June - October you can spend an evening watching Shakespeare plays that will make you forget you’re in small town, Utah, and not in Central Park, NYC or Elizabethan England (minus the rats, in both cases).
And now you can watch it all in an open-air space in the new and very pretty Engelstad Shakespeare Theater that is part of the $39 million Beverly Center for the Arts–an investment for the festival that is testament to its quality and contribution to the community over the years. Join over 110,000 other theater goers to view one of 300 performances each year.
There’s a reason Utah is attracting more and more people to its majestic and weird landscapes–there’s nothing like it, but sometimes those trails at the national parks can feel a little bit overcrowded, especially during summer months. And that’s where Cedar City and the surrounding areas come to your solitude rescue.
Brian Head Resort: Brian Head is for stoked skiers in winter and mountain bikers in the summer. A quick and pretty 40 minutes will get you from Cedar City to terrain that will have you whoopin-and-a-hollerin’ like a kid with a new puppy dog to love and squeeze and hold forever more. There’s over 100 miles for you to jump, drop, and sail over for just $29 dollars a day to ride the lifts or take the shuttles.
Iron Hills: The Iron Hills Trail System was started in 2015 with plans for over 50 miles of trails. The first of the trails to be completed are Lichen It (easy) and Lava Flow (upper-intermediate). The trails are on the mountain slopes just east of town, and will soon be a destination in and of itself.
Yes, you can get to Zion National Park in 26 minutes to hike a trail that doesn’t get nearly as much traffic as the main canyon in the park. The trail has lots of vegetation, a river, and fun terrain to play on as you practice your birding and botanical taxonomy.
This moderate slot canyon is a trail for those who want a little more solitude than what Zion National Park can offer. It’s pretty, it’s easy, and it gets you into red rock scenery that any person with a soul will swoon over.
You will also enjoy: Kannaraville Falls Slot Canyon, Kolob Arch, Vista Trail, Vermillion Castle Trail, Timber Creek Overlook, and Coal Creek Walking Trail.
Downtown Cedar City is just what a charming small western town should be: it’s a place where you can take Grandma to catch up over a cup of coffee with a pastry she wishes she could replicate, or you can congregate with your entire mountain biking crew after a long day of shredding it like it’s 1999…except it’s not. Then there’s the great little local shops that you’ll be happy to spend some cash in. Go ahead, mosey along Main Street, and experience pleasant surprise after pleasant surprise.
Then there’s the food: you have options–so many good options that you’ll leave town before you can try it all so you’ll just have to come back again and again and again just to make sure you properly survey the culinary lay of the land.
Start with Centro Woodfired Pizza. Just do it. It will set the stage for all the other good food you’ll consume throughout your stay. Then you’ve got to try Cedar City’s Peruvian gem, Pisco, as well as Tacos El Jefe because they’ll both have you, yes you, taking photos of your food to text your BFF’s that Cedar City has darn good food that they should all know about.
Southern Utah University earned the title “The Most Outdoorsy School in the Nation” because, well, just look around at the access and then you’ll know why the university takes full advantage of its surroundings to give its students experiences and tools to appreciate and promote an outdoor lifestyle. While you’re in Cedar City, check out the university’s art museum, tour the beautiful campus, and check out hundreds of performing arts opportunities.

BJD Veteran Damodar Rout was today expelled from the party over alleged anti party activities.
The expulsion was ordered by Chief Minister and BJD Supremo Naveen Patnaik late this evening.
BJD Supremo on 11 September had said that he will look into the allegations about Dr.Rout’s activities which they said was detrimental to the interest of the party.
The former Minister had recently been leveling serious allegation of corruption against various departmental officers in the State Government, in which he had served as the Minister.
Dr Rout had courted controversy for some of his remarks against Brahmins, Anganwadi workers and farmers’ suicide in State.
Reacting over expulsion, Dr.Rout said that earlier he was driven out of Ministry.
Then he was ousted as Vice President of BJD and Observer of the Party.
He said that no party members were in touch with him and he was like outcast in the regional outfit.
Dr.Rout said that he will not blame anybody for such an action and he admitted that he does not know the cause of such harsh action by BJD Supremo.

"There is a clearing in a wooded area on the edge of town that is a quiet place for those people who find even the unpopulated Nobson Newtown too crowded".
Internationally celebrated British artist Paul Noble breaks new ground for his Nobson Newtown with TENT at Cooper Gallery, through re-locating a pictorial space into the dynamics of a real place.
Under a stationary sun Paul Noble’s Nobson Newtown works words into literal places. This ongoing portraiture of an impossible landscape, described as ‘a cross between Robert Crumb and Hieronymus Bosch’ (The Guardian, 2008), draws in a wreckage of architecture and philosophy. The edge of this landscape of tree stumps, amorphous monuments and untenanted architectural fantasies is redrawn in Cooper Gallery through an installation of drawings, photography, ceramics and a tent.
TENT is a critical work that marks a departure in Noble’s practice. Conceptually faithful to Nobson Newtown, this new body of work is a stage set for “a play without acts”. Placing the viewer directly inside Noble’s space of language, TENT is the physical and architectural realisation of Nobfont; Noble’s own invention for a place that makes stories.
Paul Noble’s epic yet bleakly humorous works first came to prominence during his time as one of the founder members of the influential artists run venue: the City Racing gallery in London (1988–98). Since then Noble has produced an extraordinary range of works that combine meticulous craft with an ethical and political vision. Noble gained international recognition in the 1990s for his monumental ongoing project – the imaginative depiction of a fictional place called Nobson Newtown, of which his new exhibition TENT at Cooper Gallery is a part.
His synthesis of drawing, architecture, philosophy and satire has been exhibited at numerous internationally significant venues including Tate Gallery, the Whitechapel Gallery and Gagosian Gallery New York. His works are also held in the collections of Tate Modern, the Museum of Modern Art, New York and Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art.
To extend our work with Paul Noble, in 2012, we commissioned him to make a limited edition artists' book, entitled TENT, for cabin:codex, the Centre for Artists' Books relaunch project and exhibition.
We have sold out of the main production run of this publication but are hoping to release the final copies for sale to individuals and collections very soon. Please contact Exhibitions by email with any enquiries.

The Orchard Place Campus School provides multiple activities for our students thanks to the help of volunteers. These programs give the children creative outlets and often help them realize new talents and possibilities.
The running group helps students prepare for a 5K run. Basketball and weightlifting groups are also available for the students.
The Orchard Place Girl Scouts group has been a campus activity for more than 10 years. Work is conducted to attain badges that teach life skills such as cooking and first aid. Recently the group worked to build a working robot with Legos. This project is encouraging STEM education for young girls.
Volunteers bring their own pet therapy certified dogs to campus weekly to work with children during the time they live on Campus. The program is very special to the kids. Many like to be involved since while on Campus they are living away from their own pets.
Mentors spend one hour a week with a child on campus. There are typically 15-20 children and mentors involved in the program. Mentors act as support for the children, providing friendship and guidance. Many also choose to work on life skills with the kids and teach skills like cooking or sewing.
Tutors, like mentors, spend one hour a week with an individual child. They help the child complete general homework assignments, as well as work on subjects that are difficult for many kids like math, science or reading and writing.
Several volunteers come weekly to play board games with the children on Campus.
Each December, 9-10 companies and community groups hold holiday parties for the kids on campus, which include gifts, pizza, and games.
Volunteer groups often visit the Campus for one-time events like the PinkStew Entertainment ladies who visited and taught the kids how to make balloon animals.

In the first weekend of September 2016 the Austrian Air Force will be organizing Air Power 16 at Zeltweg airbase near Graz. As this event is not organized on an annual basis we thought it might be interesting to look back at the previous edition which was organized in 2013.
As the name of the event indicates it is all about a show off of the military air power of Austria and some of its allies. A main element in the flying display is the demonstration of the various tasks performed by the Austrian air force. The principle fighter aircraft currently in service is the Eurofighter Typhoon. As these are based at Zeltweg it was no surprise that we saw several examples of the type during the day.
During one of the demonstrations the Quick Reaction Alert was initiated to intercept a ‘hostile’ transport aircraft that had entered Austrian airspace. As it was a demo the role of the ‘bad guy’ was played by a Lockheed C130K Hercules. This type entered service a few years ago in Austria when a small number of second-hand aircraft were acquired from the United Kingdom.
Second jet aircraft in service with the Austrian Air Force is the Saab J105Ö. This aircraft is used by the Düsentrainerstaffel for advanced training. This unit is a honorary member of the NATO Tiger Association and one of its aircraft is wearing a ‘Tiger’ color scheme. During Air Power 2013 the unit performed a number of formation fly-bys with 4 aircraft.
A next demonstration involved the capabilities of the Austrian helicopter force. Albeit Austria is a relatively small country, the difficult terrain requires a potent helicopter fleet to ensure that troops are moved around quickly. An airfield attack was performed with Sikorsky S70A Blackhawks and Agusta-Bell AB212s dropping off commandos with their equipment. To provide cover also a number of Bell OH58B Kiowas were involved in the operation.
Another Austrian Air Force type that participated during the show was a specially decorated Pilatus PC7 primary trainer. The special paint was applied to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the PC7 in Austria. A somewhat older type in service is the Sud Aviation Alouette III, which is used in the liaison, fire fighting and mountain rescue role.
For Air Power 13 Austria had also invited military participants from various other European countries. One of them was the F16 Flying Display from the Belgian Air Force flown by Capt.’Grat’ Thys from No 2 Wing at Florennes.
Additional military demos came from the Royal Netherlands Air Force F16-team, the Hungarian Saab Gripen, and a number of military teams, such as the Frecce Tricolori from Italy, the Patrulla Aguila from Spain and the Turkish Stars.
In the static more visiting military aircraft were present. For the static one has to bear in mind that photographing the static at Zeltweg is quite challenging. They have the habit of placing the fences quite close to the aircraft making it very difficult to make a decent shot, this is clearly a point for possible improvement. Among the aircraft present were a Eurofighter EF2000T Typhoon from Spain and a rarely seen Antonov An26 from Serbia. The Slovak Air Force provided a digitally camouflage Mil Mi17 and Germany provided a large contingent with a specially marked Bell UH1D Iroquois from the Army and a Westland Super Lynx, Westland Sea King and Dornier Do228-212 maritime patrol aircraft from the Navy. Helicopter Bell-Textron was on the static with a 407GT Demonstrator, also in a digital desert camouflage.
Traditionally the main sponsor of the event is Red Bull. This Austrian soft drinks company has invested large amounts of marketing funds in an aircraft collection which is based at Salzburg. It is thus no surprise that virtually all these aircraft were present at Zeltweg either in the air or on the ground. Noted were a pair of ex-Luftwaffe Dassault Alpha Jets, their beautifully restored Douglas DC6B, a Cessna Ce337D Skymaster, a Cessna 208 Caravan I fitted with floats, Pilatus PC6-B2H4 Turbo Porter, Bell 47G and the for Europe unique Bell AH1F Huey Cobra.
Another aviation area where Red Bull is heavily involved in is aerobatics. The Red Bull Air Races are well-known worldwide and a number of these aircraft were also present at Zeltweg. Including a Russian Sukhoi Su29, an American Corvus CA41 Racer and a German Extra 300L, and off course Red Bull sponsored Flying Bulls aerobatics team with their Czech Zlin 50L were present as well.
The last section of this report I want to dedicate to the significant number of warbirds that participated in Air Power 2013. From the World War II period many major aircraft types were present, such as the Supermarine Spitfire, North American P51D Mustang, Grumman TBM3R Avenger and the Vought F4U-4 Corsair. To finish of the line-up a Hawker Sea Fury and North American B25J Mitchell participated in the flying display.
From the Vietnam era there was a Rockwell OV10B in desert camouflage. Also a number of jet warbirds were on the flightline with a Canadair CT133A Silver Star (Canadian build Lockheed T33A T-Bird), the last airworthy Aermacchi MB326 and a Hawker Hunter T68 still wearing his Tiger colors from his days with the Swiss Air Force. Finally there was a rare Soko G2 Galeb, which made the trip to Zeltweg from Serbia.
Air Power is in theory organized on a bi-annual basis, but last year its future was somewhat uncertain due to continued budget cuts in the Austrian military. So I was pleased to hear earlier this year that in 2016 a new edition will be organized. Entrance was free, although nothing has been announced if this will be the case this year. Zeltweg is best-known for its good photo opportunities, with the mountains in the background. The distance from the runway is not that far and all participating aircraft taxi in front of the crowds before or after their display routine, so giving everybody the chance to see them up close. The program is a nice mix of new and old, and quite some not so common from within Central Europe can be soon, so it’s certain worthwhile to make the trip.

Bullying is about power, so it might seem counterintuitive that subordinates might bully a supervisor. Yet this situation exists in many workplaces, including the fire service.
According to research done by the Workplace Bullying Institute, at least 6 percent of all bullying events at work involve subordinates harassing a supervisor or someone of higher position. This number may be greater in the emergency services.
Bullying can take several different forms. The model most people think of when they hear the word is a single individual abusing another individual. But “mobbing” or bullying by a group against an individual is also common. This type of bullying is more common when those of lower rank or position target a supervisor.
If a firefighter knows an officer doesn’t like the smell of a particular cologne, that firefighter might make a point of wearing that scent in abundance around that officer.
Firefighters might be deliberately slow to respond to direct requests or orders, saying that they did not hear or understand what was requested.
Members of the crew might purposefully choose radio stations or TV programs that they know their officer hates or use language around that person that they know will be offensive.
As with all forms of bullying, a single incident is almost never the problem, but rather a pattern of deliberate behavior.
Although in some cases, these actions may look like they are being perpetrated by a single individual, there is always a group dynamic involved when a subordinate bullies a supervisor. First, since the behavior usually occurs in a public place, other crew members or witnesses either enable or suppress that behavior by their reactions. Laughing, piling on or just actively avoiding are all reactions that ultimately encourage behavior to continue. In contrast, giving someone “the look” or speaking up in any way will likely isolate the bully and quickly diminish the problem.
People higher in the chain of command may also enable low-level bullies. If a company officer is having problems with a particular firefighter and initial steps at mitigation have not worked, the officer might talk to the next higher officer about the problem. How that person reacts often determines how the situation is ultimately resolved.
If the next supervisory officer offers good advice and support for the company officer, the problem can usually be resolved without too much collateral damage. But if that supervisor diminishes the problem, telling the company officer to “just do your job and stop bothering me with your personal problems,” things are likely to get much worse.
How bad can it get? Last year, a fire officer in Rhode Island received a large settlement due to bullying and harassment by her crew members that included refusal to follow orders, malicious gossip and verbal taunts. A fire officer in Ohio has filed a lawsuit claiming that he was harassed by his crew when they insisted on watching a movie he found offensive in the common area of the station, and his requests for help from higher authority resulted in retaliation. When such situations escalate to this level, the entire department is affected.
Chief officers and elected officials are not immune from bullying either. A number of fire chiefs have stated that they were targeted in smear campaigns by department members, employee organizations or other individuals or groups. Elected officials have made the same claim on many occasions. When communications and relationships break down to this degree, everyone loses, especially those who are being served in the community.
The importance of bystander behavior must be included in any training effort. Bullies only thrive when others allow them to. If witnesses stand up against this inappropriate behavior, it won’t last long.
But training individuals in needed skills is not enough. Organizational culture must be addressed, starting with a clear-eyed assessment of what the organizational culture actually is rather than what it might aspire to be.
In the end, bullying in any form, including bullying by subordinates against a supervisor, is a function of bad behavior by an individual or group that is also tolerated or enabled by individuals and groups. When the second part of the equation is removed, the first part cannot endure.

Your wedding day is the day when your uniqueness and your quirky self should shine at its best! You’re a Harry Potter fan? Put some charms and spells on it! Do you have an obsession for gaming? Bring hints of it in your wedding!
This is exactly what Koula and Cristian did for their Comic Book themed Wedding! They’re Marvel Comics fans and so bits and pieces of their wedding day were inspired by superheros! The bouquet was made of beautiful flowers crafted from comic book pages featuring female super heroes such as Wonder Women, BatGirl and Gamora, while the boutonnieres were featuring Dead Pool and Iron Man. Wicked and quirky!
The day was so beautiful, sunny with a nice breeze and a few dramatic clouds. The ceremony was held at Chelsea Old town Hall where families and friends came together to celebrate love. Koula’s family is from Greece and Cristian’s from Romania so the day was a nice mix of families and nationalities coming together – some in person and some via the amazing technology of video call.
After the ceremony we went on a short stroll on London’s streets for some photos with the happy couple. We enjoyed how the wind was playing with Koula’s hair on the Albert Bridge and we giggled at the silly faces they can pull off. Afterwards we joined family and friends at The Phene Pub for their intimate wedding reception. They were all a fun bunch and the day was filled by laughter, love and giggles.

Much has been made about the utopia of smart cities or future cities. Any online search will throw up a plethora of hits – from stories about the latest developments in the move towards this future, to thought leadership articles about the possibilities it offers. And these possibilities are truly revolutionary in scope.
The theory behind smart cities is most reliant on the Internet of Things (IoT) – that is, turning each element of a city – be it a building or a rubbish bin – into a data collector, and connecting to that actionable elements.
Adding in a layer of artificial intelligence and automation on top of this means that manual tasks today, such as building safety checks and waste collection services, can be optimised. You need not run a refuse truck along the whole route, if you know that certain bins on the route are nowhere near full, for example – something that’s already being implemented in the city of Barcelona.
But, at Nitrous, we believe that the term ‘smart city’ overlooks the what the real focus should be. And this focus should be on data.
Without structures in place to open up existing data sets and identify gaps in data collection, the foundation of the city of the future is in jeopardy.
We’d also argue that the leading focus in discussions about what the future of urban spaces looks like should be around data.
IoT has exciting possibilities – that much is certainly true. We see the opportunities that have already been realised both in the organisational and consumer space, from fridges that do far more than storing food to IoT across whole towns.
But the common thread here is the requirement for investment in data collection, through sensors and networking of devices, in order to trigger action.
Instead, we have available to us a cheaper way to source data and identify opportunities for making urban spaces more efficient. By opening up data sets, that have previously been closed – or worse, ignored – and connecting sources, we already have a way to reshape the future.
Already available are troves of data, ready to wade through. Officials have for hundreds of years been collecting data – think of the census, and birth, marriage and death records. This has only since escalated to the extent that, today, organisations are now collecting data that isn’t even actively generated; through sensors and the like, it automatically comes through.
We know that data is the new oil – the most valuable resource in the world with its corporate collectors maligned for their dominance. What we don’t know is why it isn’t being tapped for societal good.
We envision a future in which relevant data sets are brought together, cleaned, manipulated and used as a base to realise new ideas, through giving access to the data scientists, developers and innovators who can create the next big thing.
From these data sets, we can build data cities.
This future of these cities is reliant on data being connected, and enhanced with the right knowledge. Using these three cornerstones, it’s a future that we at Nitrous are invested in, and are building towards today.
But we know we cannot do this alone.
We’re now at a stage where we’re developing our network of partners, collaborators and innovators. Having the right conversations now will generate faster societal impact.

This game was widely known and played among the various tribes dwelling within the territory now occupied by the United States. In its passage from one tribe to another the game became modified into several types, but the fundamental character was not changed, so that all these types are, in a sense, a unit. The game is very old upon this land; the articles used in playing it have been found in ancient graves, in the cliff dwellings of the Southwest and in various ruins scattered over the country.
Among the Pueblo tribes the articles used in types of this game appear among the paraphernalia on altars prepared for certain ceremonies. From a study of these ceremonies in connection with the myths of the people it seems probable that the hoop used in this game represents the shield of the War God. When the hoop has a netting that fills the center and covers the edges, the netting simulates the magic web of the Spider Woman, a person that frequently figures in the myths and stories of different tribes. Her web generally serves as a protection furnished by her in a conflict.
The netted hoop appears as a decoration upon the interior of pottery bowls formerly made by the Indians of the Southwest. In some of these bowls the netting is dotted with spots. Dr. Culin regards this particular design "as representing the spider web with the dew upon it," and adds: "The 'water shield' [of one of the Zuñi War Gods], from which he shook the torrents, was suggested, no doubt, by dew on the web." To one unfamiliar with the Indian's habit of mind it may seem strained to connect the beads of dew on a spider's web with the torrential rain, but to one familiar with native thought as expressed in myths where the Indian has dramatized his conceptions of nature and of natural forces and phenomena, the connection ceases to be strange.
On the Pueblo altars the netted shield is always associated with arrows, bows or darts. In the various types of this game the arrows, darts, bows, javelins and lances that are associated with the hoop are interchangeable, some tribes using one and other tribes another. Under all the varied types with their different forms as found among scattered and unrelated tribes the game holds to its original significance, primarily religious in character, being an appeal for the protection and the perpetuity of life.
Only two articles are required for this game, the hoop and the javelin. In one type the hoop is covered with a netting more or less closely and elaborately woven. In all the netted designs it is usually possible to trace a figure as of a path crossing at right angles in the center of the space within the hoop and ending at four equidistant points on the edge of the hoop. This path indicates the path of the Four Winds, which stand with their life-giving power at the four directions, the North, East, South and West. In some localities the netting of the hoop is made from the yucca, in other places corn husks are used. With the closely netted hoop arrows are apt to be found. Some of these have as the shaft a corn cob with a stick about eighteen inches long thrust through the cob, sharpened at the lower end and a tuft of feathers tied to the upper end; this feathered stick is a prayer-stick such as is offered at a shrine.
In another type of the game the hoop is of stone; the lance is associated with this kind of hoop.
There are a variety of nettings for the hoop and much diversity in the style of arrows, darts and javelins used in the game.
The simplest is chosen to be here presented, for the reason that both the articles used in the game should be made in the camp where it is to be played. The hoop and javelins were always made by the youths who joined in the sport, and the making of hoop and javelin was part of the fun.
Properties.—A hoop and two javelins.
The hoop is made in the following manner: A piece of rope, not of a heavy kind, about sixteen inches long will give the foundation for a hoop about four inches in diameter. The two ends should be spliced together so as to leave the edge of the hoop even. The ring of rope is wound with a strip of leather or cloth in order to give the hoop such a surface that it can roll and yet be flexible and light.
Directions. — A level course from North to South and from fifty to one hundred feet long. Four players; two stand at the north end of the course and two at the south end. The one whose place is toward the East on the north and the one who stands toward the East on the south end are partners. Both of these players should wear a red band about the head, as red is the color of the East. The two players who stand toward the West at the two ends are partners, and these should wear yellow bands about their heads, yellow being the color of the West. The opponents in the game, therefore, stand side by side. Partners cannot help each other in the playing, but both players count for their side all the points they make.
The javelin is grasped by the middle, the barbed end toward the back, and the plain rounded end is shot toward the hoop.
The number of points that will constitute the game should be decided upon before beginning the game. Ten is the usual number among the Indians. Lots should be drawn as to which of the four players should be the first to throw the hoop. The one who draws the hoop then takes one of the javelins, and the player whose place is beside him takes the other javelin.
At a signal, the players with the javelins and the hoop start on a run along the course; the one with the hoop throws it a little upward with all his force and both players watch the course of the hoop, having their javelins ready to hurl at the hoop the instant they think they can reach it. If the javelin passes through the hoop and stops it so that it falls on the shaft below the band that was cut thereon, that throw counts two. If the hoop is caught on one of the barbs, that counts one. If the shaft goes entirely through the hoop so that it does not fall on the javelin, that counts nothing. If both javelins catch on the hoop, that is a draw and neither player can count the point made. If on this run and throwing of the hoop and javelins neither of the players scores a count, the player at the other end who is the partner of the one who threw the hoop now takes the hoop to throw it. He and his opponent who stands beside him now start on a run; the hoop is thrown and the javelins hurled as before. In this way the players at the ends of the course alternate in throwing the hoop North or South, but the right to throw the hoop belongs to the player who makes the best point. The hoop thus passes from the east or west players according to the points made.
The game is an athletic sport, and much skill can be developed in the throwing of the javelins and also in the tossing of the hoop so as to prevent scoring by the opponent.

F * S = k. The product of Freedom and Security is a constant. To gain more freedom of thought and/or action, you must give up some security, and vice versa.
These remarks apply to individuals, nations, and civilizations. Notice that the constant k is different for every civilization and different for every individual.
For me, this is a minor variation on the TANSTAAFL principle. Toward the end of last year, we heard a lot of talk of measures to increase security in this country. I know I wasn't the only one filled with dread at this thought. The first time I saw armed soldiers at the airport, I felt like I'd wandered into a nightmare reality.
The last time I said "goodbye" to somebody at the airplane gate was an intensely emotional experience. We held on to each other as long as possible, stealing kisses as we waited for the last possible minute. In the end, I waited by the gate, watching the plane take off. It looks like I won't have the opportunity for that kind of experience again.
Maybe it works that way on a societal level, but in my experience and reasoning it is far worse than that, a halving of freedoms may not doulbe security, and may, on the personal level, decrease it. Can you be secure in any fashion when you must fear those in whose hands your 'safety' now rests?

Competition for students is fierce, but schools with a modern campus can differentiate themselves from the pack.
Higher education campuses will soon be full of students again, and many will feature technology upgrades installed during the summer.
These upgrades grow more and more vital each year. As universities fight over top students, prospective attendees will look at the amenities a school offers. While technology may not be a student’s top differentiator, it may sway the decision if other factors, such as a school’s cost and reputation, are even.
To make sure higher education institutions have a modern campus, here are five technologies that every college or university needs to be competitive with other top institutions.
Wireless devices are flooding campuses, making high-performing Wi-Fi a must-have for any school. Using network surveys to determine which classrooms and common areas need additional access points, or upgrades to the equipment already in place, is a solid step in improving infrastructure. When investing in new gear, opt for access points that support the 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless standard, which enables data rates of up to 6.9 gigabits per second.
This standard better supports multiple devices and bandwidth-intensive applications, including video transmissions. Also consider controllerless Wi-Fi options, which simplify management by automatically applying configuration and authentication policies to access points across the network.
Cloud-based solutions for Software as a Service and Infrastructure as a Service continue to give CIOs greater options for delivering new services to modern classrooms at predictable prices. Cloud services relieve the burden on resource-constrained IT departments, which otherwise would be responsible for patching, maintaining, and troubleshooting on-premises applications and infrastructures.
Another plus: The on-demand advantage of cloud solutions means schools can quickly scale up resources for temporary spikes, such as increased demand arising from online testing and online registration. Some public-cloud platforms now offer services tailored for education, including tools to help students develop websites and apps via the cloud.
Large-format whiteboards range from 102 to 135 inches in width and can simultaneously support more than a dozen touch point and multiple pens. Leading options also include software to help instructors customize demonstrations for specific lessons. Other applications let students capture photos outside of class using mobile devices and display those images on the whiteboards.
Video enriches educational opportunities in any learning environment, including the ability to capture lectures for on-demand viewing at any time of day. Administrators turn to video for tighter campus security, staying close to alumni, and to support funding campaigns.
Top-of-the line resolution for most commercial camcorders today is 4K and Ultra HD, also known as UHD. Although higher quality than standard HD, these cameras are pricey, with pro-am models listing around $1,000 and up, and professional versions around $2,000. The good news? These newer models create room for vendors to lower prices for standard HD cameras.
New IP cameras for safety and surveillance can leverage the cloud for storage and connect to other networked devices, including campus access-control systems, for enhanced security.
Digital signage plays an important role in both day-to-day communication and emergencies, two instances requiring information to be shared quickly and accurately.
Look for signage solutions that easily connect to campus networks and enable central control messaging, whether that’s general news and information or emergency notifications. Some newer options send and receive information, so schools can determine how many people pass each particular sign to determine the optimal locations for messaging.

The Ohio AG has certified a petition for a statewide vote on legalizing adult-use/recreational marijuana.
A proposed constitutional amendment to legalize recreational marijuana cleared a major hurdle this week when Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine certified the petition for a statewide vote.
The amendment still needs approval from the Ohio Ballot Board before advocates can begin collecting the 306,000 signatures required to qualify.
Jonathan Varner, spokesman for Ohio Families for Change, which sponsored the measure, said the group is looking at filing signatures for the 2019 November election.
That should not be a problem in Ohio although the timeframe is tight. Signatures would need to be submitted by early July.
This new vote comes after Ohio voters rejected a constitutional amendment in 2015that would have legalized cannabis. Voters rejected it because the amendment came with a requirement that all commercially sold weed had to be grown at 10 specified sites that had been promised to wealthy campaign investors. Ohioans did not want a monopoly on their weed cultivation.
The amendment certified by Attorney General DeWine does not limit grow sites, but allows the state legislature to regulate a recreational weed industry.
The amendment also allows people to cultivate their own cannabis without limiting how much can be grown or bought for personal use, unlike the 2015 amendment. It leaves the state’s medical marijuana program in place.
Ohio Families for Change seem pleased with the wording of the new amendment.
"It gives the small entrepreneur an equal footing with the cannabis conglomerates, while decriminalizing personal adult use of marijuana," Varner said in Cleveland.com.
"It goes beyond existing Ohio law to protect consumers from dangerous chemicals and pesticides that can be found in cannabis, and has stringent measures to keep marijuana away from persons under 21 years of age."

Five months after its first teased a 5G smartphone, LG has today announced that its upcoming device will make its international debut at MWC 2019 next month. To tide us over till then, the South Korean brand has revealed some major details about the smartphone.
Proving to be nothing less than a flagship device, the offering will arrive powered by the recently-announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 855. This chip brings performance boosts of up to 45% over last year’s Snapdragon 845 and is also much more efficient thanks to its improved manufacturing process.
While on the topic of efficiency, LG has confirmed that a 4,000mAh battery has been included inside the device which means battery life should remain largely unaffected despite the increased consumption that comes with 5G. In fact, LG highlighted the fact that the battery is over 20% larger than the 3,300mAh cell found inside the LG V40 ThinQ.
The final feature LG revealed about its upcoming device was related to its temperature. More specifically, the smartphone will feature a dedicated vapor chamber that is 2.7x larger than the heat pipe found inside the LG V40 ThinQ. Thus, overheating shouldn’t be a problem – current-gen 5G tech generates much higher temperatures.
Unfortunately, details about the smartphone’s design are yet to be shared. However, the company’s multiple comparisons to the LG V40 ThinQ suggest that perhaps the new device is a modified version of the latter. In any case, the implementation of a larger battery and new heat chamber indicate LG has fully dealt with the primary concerns associated with 5G smartphones.
LG’s first 5G smartphone is expected to be a Sprint exclusive upon launch later this year in the US. Throughout Europe, though, the company is collaborating with a variety of operators in order to ensure availability.
Naturally, not everyone will have access to LG’s 5G smartphone and some may not even be interested. Because of this, LG is expected to announce its 4G LTE-compatible G8 ThinQ flagship at MWC 2019 too. Details about this device remain relatively scarce at the minute, especially since LG denied the veracity of recent renders, but rumors do point towards a possible secondary display that could be fitted via an external case.
Sweet specs. Btw, does anyone here using LG confirm if all the bootloop issues have been taken care of in recent phones?
I've had a G6 for going on close to 2 years and so far no boot loop issues.
This is better than Samsung. Goodluck LG.
In typical LG fashion the 5G phone will be announced in February and available to buy in August.
i am using lg v30. so far no issues. amazing phone.
No notch and i'll try it out. I had a good experience with the lg v30.
New camera please! The ones from the G7 and V40 are far worse than the competition!

An effective Property & Casualty Insurance sales process that brings tremendous value in the minds of your clients.
The insurance industry now has an effective sales process for teaching property & casualty agents how to win in this new age of direct writers, commoditization, and pricing wars. Companies that may have their own training and processes are not sharing, and those processes have not changed in decades. We’ve discovered a simple and effective technique that brings tremendous value in the minds of your clients. Value Sales Presentation Builder is the future of presenting.
When I started my Property & Casualty sales career in 1996, I found that I was competing against companies that had not only better name recognition, but also better rates. Like many around me, was very close to failing in my first year as a multiple line agent. If I did not start selling VALUE, I would not be here today. I had to transition my discussions with clients away from simply a price conversation. This is easier said than done. The Value Sales Presentation has been evolving ever since then. Based on every program and platform I have seen in the industry, the VSP is the best opportunity to get a yes at the end of every presentation. It is not only a visual to the client that proves true value in their eyes, but also forces the agent to be a professional by explaining the differences with every coverage. Clients consistently say at the end of a well presented VSP presentation, “WOW”!
Value Sales Presentation Builder is the future of protecting the insurance agency distribution system by offering an effective sales process for teaching property & casualty agents how to win in this new age of direct writers, commoditization, and pricing wars.

text: The present study exploited integrated genomics-assisted breeding strategy for genetic dissection of complex branch number quantitative trait in chickpea. Candidate gene-based association analysis in a branch number association panel was performed by utilizing the genotyping data of 401 SNP allelic variants mined from 27 known cloned branch number gene orthologs of chickpea. The genome-wide association study (GWAS) integrating both genome-wide GBS- (4556 SNPs) and candidate gene-based genotyping information of 4957 SNPs in a structured population of 60 sequenced desi and kabuli accessions (with 350–400 kb LD decay), detected 11 significant genomic loci (genes) associated (41% combined PVE) with branch number in chickpea. Of these, seven branch number-associated genes were further validated successfully in two inter (ICC 4958 x ICC 17160)- and intra (ICC 12299 x ICC 8261)-specific mapping populations. The axillary meristem and shoot apical meristem-specific expression, including differential up- and down-regulation (4–5 folds) of the validated seven branch number-associated genes especially in high branch number was apparent as compared to the low branch number-containing parental accessions and homozygous individuals of two aforesaid mapping populations. Collectively, this combinatorial genomic approach delineated diverse naturally occurring novel functional SNP allelic variants in seven potential known/candidate genes [PIN1 (PIN-FORMED protein 1), TB1 (teosinte branched 1), BA1/LAX1 (BARREN STALK1/LIKE AUXIN1), GRAS8 (gibberellic acid insensitive/GAI, Repressor of ga13/RGA and Scarecrow8/SCR8), ERF (ethylene-responsive element-binding factor), MAX2 (more axillary growth 2) and lipase] governing chickpea branch number. The useful information generated from this study have potential to expedite marker-assisted genetic enhancement by developing high-yielding cultivars with more number of productive (pods and seeds) branches in chickpea.

Nice blog on the question of what you want to be when you’re old which I agree makes sense when you have a real choice over what you want to study. It used to be economics when I was going through the same phase in tirana and its no surprise it is still economics. Due to the economic insecurity of the country, studying one the four areas you highlight is safer. But on the other hand the possibility of the choice is a kind of luxury that young people can have mainly in western societies, if you look around the world in Asia, South America, Africa most of the worlds young people are limited in their choices by what their societies can offer them.
A brilliant insight on the faults of the education system in Albania. I now consider myself to be very lucky to be graduating in the States, not because I dislike Albania but because of the lack of educational oppurtunities they have. It almost came as a “shock” when I arrived in America, the countless amounts of educational opportunities one could easily have.I see a complete difference between me, and my mates back in Albania. We are all seniors in high school now yet we are in very much different positions of our choice towards the future. To change that, in my opinion, there needs to be some serious change in the Educational sector, one that offers many more choices to a rising adult.
Hey, it’s always nice to read your blog, since being an American you always have a different view of things (and you are living Albania in a completly different way than I am!). Anyhow what you described here is a pretty similar system as in Italy and nearly every European country (of what I know of). You need to do exams and they determine where you get in or not (either regarding the grade or by doing an other test before entering university), and you need to apply for the degree and not in general as in the US. I don’t know how it is in Albania, but normally you can still change subjects after time, in some countries it’s easier in some less! But yeah, it is really sad how some things are determined and people cannot just think about what they really want! At home I see often friends or aquaintances that just studie something because the job gives you good money, the parents pressured or because what they really want to do is not well seen in the society! And it’s really sad when after years of fighting to get a degree (or not putting 100% in it and taking to much time) they realize the wasted important years of their lives, but still don’t feel like doing what they like because they need to keep up an image or something!
So what I want to say with all this is that you should still push your students, because at the end it’s their lives and their decisions! If you convinced them to pursue their dreams they will live a happier life even if it’s against what the family wants. Remeber, it’s really their choice, you maybe just giving the the push they need to make a change in society!
You pretty much hit the nail dead on the head on this blog entry. It was a great pleasure reading each line of it. As you already stated, during communism era, more or less everything was chosen and decided for everyone according to overall nationwide country’s plans and requirements. Since the salaries among the professions that required high education were almost pretty flat in variation among them, if it ever came down to having any choices to be made, they would be narrowed down according to prestige and/or other non-tangible benefits. Complaining was not an option at all. That of course over time killed any type of liberal thinking and personal initiative so the only way of making choices, even in today’s times, is going through the already beaten path which includes what you listed earlier. After the early 90s things changed as you could chose what and where you wanted to do but the competition was fierce, which is good IMO.
In my case fast forward to the late 90s, my turn came and I had to pick my 4 choices and roll the dices and see what would come out. A surprise twist gave me the option to study abroad with the limitation that I only could pick 1. So I did and 1.5 year into my western higher education I realized that it was not what I wanted to do but on the face of personal choices, pressured by family, had to finish what I started. Today I’m still trying see what I really want and can actually do.
Retrospectively thinking about it all is that in Albania, but perhaps in many other countries too, it’s not the “you can be anything you want to be if you set your mind to it” that should be taught. In Albania, one might want to be an astronaut or a nuclear engineer but given the place and time those currently would be really not that much feasible choices. What should be taught instead is critical understanding, reasoning and decision making especially geared towards invention, innovation and entrepreneurship. For a certain idea, after assessing the situation and coming up with a one or more solutions in order to being able to decide which path to follow are all more or less transferable skills that cover many fields. No mater what they chose or do in their life, the young generation in Albania would really benefit for having this kind of mindset. The saying goes “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”.
Thank you for the work that you are doing! And to the rest of the PC as well.

My 'lovely' employer was kind enough to give me the day off on my birthday, so I did what any right minded individual should do in that situation - went fishing.
Being a rare weekday I seized the opportunity to fish a couple of accessible rock marks on the Purbecks Coast that would ordinarily be heaving with people, come the weekend.
It paid off. With a decent forecast and a flattening sea it was a dream place to be. The fish were the icing on the (birthday) cake.
Biggest on the day was 3lb 3oz taking a Molix Sligozzo hopped along the bottom.
Been a while since I enjoyed my birthday so much.

So that’s it then: I am no longer a nurse. I have surrendered my PIN and with it a job I loved.
Well, I was unwell and my heart was failing. While I already miss nursing and want to return, deep down know that if I do it will probably kill me.
I have been working since I was 17 and even before that when I was at school. I have been nursing for 25 years but the only acknowledgement I received since leaving was a threatening letter from the NMC the day after my registration expired warning me not to work as a nurse and that if I wanted to register again it would take months.
I have had a wonderful time. I have felt happy, sad, triumphant and, at times, defeated but it has been a rollercoaster of a life. I’ve worked in hospitals, community, care homes, diving medicine, hyperbarics, an oil rig and so much more.
Nursing cost me a marriage but then found me another (which is much better!). It has let me have a mostly good life and bring up two children. It has been tough but great fun. I have helped people from birth to death and still think of a good death as the last thing we can give our patients. I have prayed for people to live but also at times for people to die and be released from pain.
Some days you sit in your car at the end of a shift and just slump, asking yourself why you do it. Other days you sit in the car and think ”Actually, today was good. I helped Mrs– and her family, I got that troublesome wound sorted, I taught staff good procedures and I even got a five minute break”. Luckily, there are more good days than bad.
Holding hands with an elderly lady as she died because she had no family. The helplessness of nursing a young girl who had overdosed on paracetamol and told nobody for a two days. Talking to a patient in the community about cars and him telling me that he had never been in an open top car, and then picking him up the next day in my own open top car and driving him around Portland as he shouted at me to go faster!
Looking after a lovely chap who had a hip replacement but had a bad reaction to the anaesthetic and broke my nose. Walking off to sit down for a minute to recover and being stopped by a Mother who asked me to sit and look after her young child who had just had an operation while she went to the loo. Tha particular incident gave me a chance to think about my future. That was 24 years ago so I think I made the right decision.
Maybe I could have started nursing sooner but on the other hand I’m not sure I would have been able to cope. I would have liked to continue but again, this just is not possible .
Who knows. Any jobs out there for an ex-nurse?
Nigel thank you for sharing your story, I believe you have been an inspiration to the nursing profession and greatly missed. I wish you all the best for the future.
Thank you for this and all the very best for your future.
Thank you for being a nurse.
You must have so many stories!
Why don't you write a book about nursing and your experiences?

The longer I spend travelling, the more I realize how normal it really is. Every second isn’t incredible or exciting or educational. Mostly you’re walking around, finding food, seeing people and buildings, or sitting on trains. It’s not boring but it really isn’t that different from my days in Vancouver or Marblehead.
Travelling does give you the freedom to find the adventure in every situation though — something I rarely do when I’m not travelling. In our third town in Cinque Terre of the day, the storm that had been sitting threateningly in the clouds above our heads struck. Waves crashed over the walk way and the wind blew away tourists’ umbrellas. Then the rain started coming down in sheets and, all of a sudden, turned into fingernail-sized hail. I ran for shelter under a restaurant’s patio.
Even though I was wet and cold (I managed to forget my sweater in Nice), I had a huge smile on my face. When I’m at school or working and get caught in the rain, I run for cover and then go back to doing whatever I was doing before. I ignore the storm outside the window. I rarely take the time to experience it. Standing out in the storm was the first time in what must be year, that I really appreciated and experience a storm. Sounds lame, watching rain, wind, hail, and waves but there is so much to take in, experience, and enjoy that it was my favourite part of my day.

The ease of Manchester United’s win over Premier League title rivals Chelsea masked a potential moment of controversy after an “innovative” corner routine involving Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo produced a goal, with the scores still level, that was disallowed under instruction from the linesman.
Step Two: Ryan Giggs picks up the loose ball following Rooney's hand-over.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson expressed astonishment that the effort, converted by Ronaldo, did not stand, admitting the routine had been planned on the training ground.
Step one: Wayne Rooney goes over to corner flag to take quick set-piece.
Rooney casually rolled the ball out of the corner quadrant and jogged away as if to leave the duties to Giggs. However, when the Welshman reached the ball, which was now live, he turned and headed for goal, with Chelsea’s defence unprepared, before squaring to Ronaldo to finish.
The linesman who stood over the corner immediately flagged and referee Howard Webb ordered that the kick be taken again, as Rooney and Giggs appealed.
The incident was largely forgotten after the retaken corner found Nemanja Vidic who headed United in front, but the incident opened a debate as to why the original ‘goal’ had not been allowed to stand.
The official reason given by the linesman was that Rooney had not informed him as to his intentions, but Ferguson questioned whether this was in fact necessary.
“I don’t know if you saw the corner but we had planned that. We actually planned it,” said Ferguson.
Giggs was also unclear as to what infringement had been committed, but confirmed the linesman’s stated concern.
“I don’t think the linesman knew Wayne had taken a short one,” said Giggs. “I don’t know if Wayne had told him.
“I just jogged past Wayne and he said he’d took it, so it was clearly outside the D so I just ran across and took it. But luckily we scored just after that.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jonathan David.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Jonathan. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I grew up in Southern California and moved to a small town in Southern Oregon when I was sixteen years old. I couldn’t wait to get out into the ‘business world’ so I moved back down to Los Angeles at eighteen. Within a year I had borrowed enough money to open a retail cell phone business on Main Street in Santa Monica. The business was quite successful, and I was able to sell it when I was 25. Soon thereafter, I positioned myself as a consultant who understood how consumers like to interact with mobile technology.
An investor in one of the companies I consulted for had built and sold two digital advertising agencies, and I made it a priority to learn as much about the industry as I could. About eight years ago, at the age of 26, I moved into digital advertising full time as an employee at a digital advertising agency. It was at this company that I cut my teeth in digital storytelling, and how to weave a compelling story into optimal media buying to drive response for our clients.
After being quite happy working at an agency for four years, I couldn’t resist the urge to go out on my own. Once again, I raised debt and purchased some of the assets of the company I had been working for, and Tapstone was started! Tapstone was started as a conduit to tap into an opportunity I had a feeling was about to explode in the digital advertising industry – Native Advertising.
I’ve always loved working by the beach and while my business life has undergone some major transformations since I was a teenager, I kept the beach vibe, always maintaining a Santa Monica office. That is until earlier this year when the Tapstone headquarters was moved from Santa Monica to a larger, and more central space in Beverly Hills to accommodate for our growth.
Now as Founder & CEO of Tapstone, I am responsible for the company’s overall strategy, creative vision, product development and leading our ever-growing team to provide clients with the most effective native advertising campaigns.
I know that the entrepreneurial path is traditionally meant to be paved with struggle and tough times on the way to success but to be honest (and yes, trust me, I know I’m fortunate) my journey has been relatively smooth. I’ve been fortunate enough to build several successful businesses, to enjoy the hours I spend on my work, to work with great and talented people, and for us all to be financially successful and feel rewarded as a result.
If there is one struggle to it all, it’s that naturally there is a sense of responsibility as ‘the boss’ and that while most days that’s a pressure I thrive under, there are of course moments – as I’m sure there are in everybody’s life – when it’d be great to alleviate some of that pressure for a bit.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Tapstone story. Tell us more about the business.
A few years ago, it became clear to me that native advertising was going to become the forefront of the digital media industry – as a format of advertising, it has so many advantages. Native ads typically generate greater interest and engagement than banner ads, and while traditional banner ads and pop-ups were turning consumers off, Tapstone subscribes to the old adage that “an educated customer is your best customer.” Native ad formats allow much greater education than short-form ads, and I was confident I could create a company that could help turn the tide from traditional advertising to this newer form.
Research from a host of business analysts has since gone on to suggest that by 2021 nearly three-quarters of all US digital display advertising budget will be spent on native advertising and I’m so glad we got started when we did and have been able to become a market leader.bThe company that I launched, now over four years ago, is Tapstone, a Native Advertising agency with its own proprietary technology, tools and approaches that make it stand out from the numerous businesses that have since launched into the industry.
‘Native’ advertising is advertising that takes on the look and feel of the surrounding editorial content. It looks great and helps sites provide a less disruptive experience for its users, while still deriving financial support from advertising budgets. Traditionally, native advertising has looked good, but not always meant measurable results for advertisers.
Our focus is primarily working with advertisers to drive a response of some kind, with a focus on providing the best possible returns on ad spend, at scale. As a result, the difference that Tapstone brings to the market is the ability to blend expert storytelling and the creative look and feel of native advertising, with the kind of tangible results the advertiser may have previously noted from direct mail and direct response campaigns in which consumers take a follow-up action.
To do this we engineered a more powerful approach to native advertising, called ‘Native for Direct Response’ that funnels prospects from a personally relevant and educational piece of content to a business’ website with a view to completing a specific desired action.
Our clients – major business brands in the automotive, healthcare, financial and legal services industries – love it. They get to educate prospective customer through editorial style content that readers actually appreciate rather than get annoyed by and can help inform these prospective customers in a tone and style that appeals to them, guiding them toward buying decisions that actually make sense for them.
Now I am really proud to be able to say that as the pioneer of Native-for-Direct Response, Tapstone has grown to become the industry-leading platform for the fastest growing segment of digital advertising!
I’ve had the great pleasure of working with an amazing group of professionals that have been curated from across the globe and of course, Tapstone’s success would not be possible without each member of our talented team’s hard work, dedication and inspiration.
We’ve also had the opportunity to work with clients that have empowered and trusted us to do what we do best, encouraging the entire team to produce some incredible campaigns. We’ve been very lucky to have a lot of fun along the way and created an amazing community with our clients.
On a personal note, I have also been heavily influenced and inspired by my wife, Natalie David who creates a balance in my personal life that allows me to excel in my business endeavors.

This post was written by Chloe Appleby, a Curatorial Volunteer working under the supervision of Curator Margaret Simpson throughout 2017 and 2018. Chloe also works as a Program Producer and Visitor Services Officer at MAAS’s Powerhouse site in Ultimo and the Museums Discovery Centre in Castle Hill.

The Museums Discovery Centre (MDC) is a hidden treasure trove of objects which encompasses all topics ranging from decorative arts to transport, science to everyday life. Located in Castle Hill, Sydney, the MDC is not your typical museum but rather a facility for the storage of the Museum’s collection some of which is open to the public. It is one of the three sites of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (MAAS) and is shared with the Australian Museum and Sydney Living Museums.
Since 1879, when MAAS was founded, our collection has grown to over 500,000 objects, and storing these treasures for preservation and research can be difficult, especially larger objects, as city-based sites have a limited storage space.
The 2.8-hectre site at Castle Hill was acquired for the Museum in 1947, and curiously was planted with eucalyptus trees as part of a scientific research facility to establish the commercial applications and properties of essential oils.
In 1979, the Museum’s scientific research branch was transferred to the Department of Agriculture and the Castle Hill site was gradually transformed into a much-needed state-of-the-art collections storage area for the Museum. A small area of visible storage was opened to the public in 2007. This area was expanded and underwent a major refurbishment for re-opening in 2016.

The MDC is not only a storage facility but an exciting destination to experience a unique take on museum collections through public display of objects in storage.
Why are the objects stored in crates, drawers and on pallets?
Why are there no labels or additional information?
Why does it look like a warehouse?
How is this different from other museums?
The difference lies in the fact that the permanent display was not designed with the intention of being an exhibition but rather a visible storage showcase. Visible storage is a way of showing objects, on mass, with minimal interpretation. The objects aren’t displayed in a polished showcase as in an exhibition setting, but rather are found on industrial shelving, pallets, crates and in light-minimising drawers and resting on little pillows. The idea is to provide the public with a behind-the-scenes insight into how museums store, conserve, and research objects, and to show their historical development over time.
The concept derives from the original way museums and collectors showed their collections, in Cabinets of Curiosities which goes back to Renaissance times. Today it provides the public with maximum access to as much of the collection as possible. Along with the MDC, many American and European museums such as the Luce Foundation Centre for the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington D.C. and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York taking on board this trend due to the increased public interest in their collections.

In the public area of the MDC a staggering 4,200 objects are showcased across six rooms each illustrating different subject matters and are driven by a loose thematic narrative.
Room One is dedicated to showcasing the decorative arts in all forms from various countries and cultures, including a wall of chairs across time.
Room Two explores the evolution of technology and human ingenuity in almost every industry you can imagine, from cameras and computers to engines and printing presses.
Room Three examines the use and modes of transport including trains, planes and automobiles.
Room Four investigates natural sciences with models and taxidermy and the feats of human experimentation and exploration, notably Antarctica, from the MAAS and Australian Museum collections.
Room Five takes a step back into time and displays the evolution of domestic appliances and everyday living in New South Wales.
Room Six presents a grand spectacle of 19th Century Australian architecture through models of King Street, Sydney, in the 1880s to mouldings, many from the collection of Sydney Living Museums.

The Museums Discovery Centre is a visible storage facility that encourages learning and out-of-the-box thinking through the collection, interaction and on-site activities to give a unique and unforgettable experience. So, if you want a different Museum experience where so much of the State’s valuable collections are housed, come out the MDC! It’s open Monday to Friday, 10am – 5pm.

Congratulations (and thanks) Chloe on a well written and informative summary of the MDC. Very enjoyable reading and a great encouragement for visitors to see something unique in The Hills.
The MDC's Life and Death at the Museum tours offer fascinating stories on objects that have impacted on life and death.

Substance abuse has a huge financial impact on the economy, with related crime, lost productivity and healthcare expenses costing billions of dollars annually. Better addiction treatment could help cut those costs significantly, but strict regulations and a tepid response to new digital platforms have limited innovation in the space.
Sean Gunderson, co-founder of iTether, believes his company’s patient engagement app can transform the way addiction treatment is delivered. Gunderson’s team utilized Progress Health Cloud to develop the iTether application and extend patient treatment long past the typical 30-day in-patient program.
