"Matlock Bath is a village and civil parish in Derbyshire, England. It lies in the Peak District, south of Matlock on the main A6 road, and approximately halfway between Buxton and Derby. The population of the civil parish as of the 2011 census was 753. Originally built at the head of a dead-end dirt road running alongside the valley of the River Derwent from Matlock itself, the locality developed in the 19th century as residential and a spa town and still thrives on tourism. Development was and is very restricted due to the steep hillsides, with the majority of buildings on one side of the valley with only footbridges across the river. The road was upgraded and made into a through-way, now designated A6, avoiding the previous old coaching road approach to Matlock from Cromford over very steep hills near to the Riber plateau area.
Derwent Valley Mills is a World Heritage Site along the River Derwent in Derbyshire, England, designated in December 2001. It is administered by the Derwent Valley Mills Partnership. The modern factory, or 'mill', system was born here in the 18th century to accommodate the new technology for spinning cotton developed by Richard Arkwright. With advancements in technology, it became possible to produce cotton continuously. The system was adopted throughout the valley, and later spread so that by 1788 there were over 200 Arkwright-type mills in Britain. Arkwright's inventions and system of organising labour was exported to Europe and the United States." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

Fingerprints
The discovery that fingerprints are unique in each person and are left behind on everything we touch made by Jan Evangelista in 1823 was nothing short of miraculous. The even bigger breakthrough came when this discovery could be used by law enforcement to conduct...

Steers in the middle, like a Moxy, but without hydraulics! The driver needs to get off and walk round the tight turns.
*I had a little fun with Photoshop - my face inside my imagined Television-Telephone. It's how I thought I could telephone my friends... some day in the future.
***************************************************************
As a kid, I loved "Lost in Space" and my parents took me to see futuristic films - "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) and Woody Allen’s "Sleeper" (1973). Maybe that’s why I often fantasized a lot about the future. I’d wonder what music of the future would be like, Just a bunch of robotic, mono-tone electronic blips? By the year 2000, cars will fly, of course! But without lanes how will they not crash into each other? I had concerns. Will the air still be breathable? Will the earth be nothing but a burning heap of trash? Then I’d start to hyperventilate.
But mostly my thoughts were on what kind of cool appliances and cars we’d have. That’s one reason I loved Disneyland’s Tomorrowland, with the white, sleek orb-like swooshing vehicles, I could pretend I was already in the future. Yes, that’s what the future would look like. And I loved the Jetson's cartoon, too - with its robotic maids and computerized kitchens. I was sure the future would be just like that. Everything would be white and zooming at break-neck speeds.
What I really looked forward to was having my own Television-Telephone. Maybe because the only phones I’d every known were heavy, usually black (or maybe harvest gold or avocado) rotary phones that took forever to dial. I practically had to wipe sweat from my brow when having to dial a number with lots of 8s, 9s or 0s in it. So when I saw an article in the newspaper about the possible invention of a Television-Telephone, I got so excited I tacked the article to my bedroom door. The future was nearly here! And I would live to see it before I got wrinkles. With this amazing new technology I will be able to see anyone I phoned and they will see me. It’ll be great! I could eat breakfast with my cousin in Texas. I could show her the prize I pulled out of my cereal box (if I could talk my dad into letting me have sugary cereal, that is). Or I could show my friend Cindy my latest Archie comic book without even having to leave my house. Cool! But then I realized that I’d have to wash my face, brush my hair and get out of my pajamas before ever using the phone. So… maybe the Television-Telephone wouldn’t be so great.
Still, I daydreamed about the future. Maybe I’d be a stewardess who will fly around the world, looking foxy in hot pants. Yes, I foresaw myself about thirty years in the future still wearing 1974’s trends. In my head, I saw a clear vision: Me, at about thirty-years-old, wearing a yellow smiley face t-shirt (very tight fitting, as my future self would be very foxy and built) with purple hot pants and white, platform go-go boots. My future self will be one sexy mama – a combo of Teresa Graves' no-nonsense hipness (from “Get Christie Love”), Raquel Welch’s curvy allure and Mary Tyler Moore's spunky carefree-ness - so carefree she tossed her hat into the air. Yes, I would be one foxy, curvy, spunky, world-traveling future lady in hot pants!
So here I am in my future, without one pair of hot pants. And never did I predict the invention of the internet (even better than the Television-Telephone, because I can answer e-mail in my underwear – if I want). I also never predicted I would be able to buy movie tickets and reserve my seat online. Every time I do this, I feel so futuristic. I can’t help but think my kid-self would’ve loved this convenience. But then I didn’t even foresee - right around the corner – Pong, ATMs, answering machines or call-waiting. I just assumed I would be forever hearing the bop-bop-bop headache-causing busy drone of the telephone. And now that I can see who is calling me, I think about these poor kids of the present (or my past future) who will never know the joy of anonymous crank (or is it prank?) calling (a latchkey kid's version of video games). Who’d have thought it? Not me. I was too busy daydreaming about me in hot pants. Purple hot pants.

Pills, patches and Nitrolingual spray are used for treating angina because they act as a vasodilator which allows more blood to flow and more oxygen to reach the heart so easing chest pain and potential damage to the heart.
It is made from nitroglycerin which is the explosive component of dynamite discovered in 1847 by Asconi Sobrero. He thought it was far too unstable and dangerous to use as an explosive because his own face was badly damaged when it exploded in the lab. It was Alfred Nobel who discovered how to stabilise it ... not before many researchers were killed trying to discover how.
I find it quite amazing that Dr William Murrel decided to experiment with it to produce vasodilators which have now been used to treat angina for about 130 years. Nobel was actually prescribed it for his heart condition in the 1880's.
I am using this small bottle of pump spray, which was invented in1997, to symbolise the massive progress which has been made in medicine in the last 100 or so years, often by people who somehow came up with an idea which others either didn't see (or ridiculed) in the beginning. This invention was thoroughly tested by hubby today!
Luckily I received the Rainbow shoe in gold by Wear Floggs along with this beautiful Sunita Mukhi golden eye clutch which opens up and turns into a shopping bag as well, who doesn’t love versatility? Pairing shoes with bags is not a necessity in dressing up but will always leave a neat impression. After spending an evening in my Floggs i can tell you to rest assured you can dance the night away in those heels as their foam sole is one hell of an invention! I decided to complete the outfit with this beautiful dress i got off a local Malaysian boutique and a stunning Runway collection windbreaker jacket by BCBG Max Azria.

Our Daily Challenge 3-9 January : Inventions
First invented in 1805 these have to be the most game-changing invention which remains almost unchanged today.
I have a wood fire in winter, and could therefore keep warm and cook even if the digital world temporarily fails, and the gas and electric don't work.

Display for ToroLUG at Sherway Gardens Lego Store
This is the display for January 2014 at Sherway Gardens. I tried to pick significant innovations which have been invented, designed or built in Canada or by Canadians. To represent them, I tried to pick more generic designs which people would immediately identify visually instead of the original object: For example, the telephone is a modern one, even though Bell's original invention looks nothing like it.
One of my favourite memories was the 1984 Lego World Show which featured invention models as well.
Telephone (1876)
Basketball (1891)
Snowmobile (1937)
G-Suit (1941)
Canola Oil (1970)
Canadarm (1981)
BlackBerry (1999)
