The Knowledge Nation 100 luncheon – on 10 December at Doltone House in Sydney – celebrated the Knowledge Nation 100. The Knowledge Nation 100 are the rock stars of Australia’s new economy – the visionaries, intellects, founders and game changers building the industries and institutions that will underwrite the nation’s future prosperity.
The luncheon was addressed by the Prime Minister of Australia, the Hon Malcolm Turnbull MP.
Photos of an exhibit at Malbork Castle, meant to recreate what a meal served at the fortification during the Middle Ages may have consisted of, shot during the filming of Battle Castle: Malbork with host Dan Snow in Poland. The show profiles the siege of 1410 when Polish and Lithuanian forces attacked the brick stronghold. The offensive, which was led by King Jagiello and Grand Duke Vytautas, occurred after the Battle of Tannenberg. The castle, historically known as Marienburg, was built by the Teutonic Order, crusader knights who occupied this area of the Baltic in medieval times.
Battle Castle is an action documentary series starring Dan Snow that is now airing on History Television and is scheduled to premiere on Discovery Knowledge in the UK in Spring 2012 and on various BBC-affiliated channels in the near future.
This show brings to life mighty medieval fortifications and the epic sieges they resist: clashes that defy the limits of military technology, turn empires to dust, and transform mortals into legends.

Castles conjure thoughts of romantic tales, but make no mistake, they are built for war.
Dover: Prince Louis’ key to England. Malaga: the Granadans final stronghold. And Crac des Chevaliers: Crown Jewel of Crusader castles. Through dynamic location footage and immersive visual effects, Battle Castle reveals a bloody history of this epic medieval arms race.
As siege weapons and technology become more ruthless, the men who design and built these castles reply … or perish. Follow host Dan Snow as he explores the military engineering behind these medieval megastructures and the legendary battles that became testaments to their might.
Each episode will climax in the ultimate test of the castle’s military engineering – a siege that will change the course of history. Which castles will be conquered and which will prevail? You’ll have to watch to find out.
But the journey doesn’t end there –in fact, it’s just beginning. Battle Castle extends into a multi-platform quest, taking us deep into the secret world of medieval warfare and strategy. Become the ultimate ‘Castle Master’. Stay tuned for more on the Battle Castle experience.

This recently installed sculpture is outside the Libraray in Emersons Green, South Gloucestershire. It is one of two that were designed and made by Scott Farlow and Steve Joyce, two Bristol-based artists. The other is outside Sainsbury's Supermarket and can be seen here.
Steve Joyce explain the sculptures meaning:
"The main inspiration for this two-part sculpture is the idea of a large underground reservoir of hidden and untapped knowledge and information that majestically bursts up through the ground, like a geyser or fire hydrant, and takes the diminutive library building with it.
"Though elements of harmony and balance are evident, they may not come immediately to mind when looking at the sculptures. For these are dynamic, yet slightly uncontrolled, thrusts – much like present day mass data is.
"The distinctive steel sculpture point towards and identifies the location of the library – that vast hub of data, ideas, knowledge and information and a portal into a world of potential, learning and exchange.
"Fountain of Knowledge suggests transformation and growth, energy and movement, hope and optimism. The sculptures symbolise what we might find if we look hard enough and that much of what we are looking for, although hidden, obscured or shrouded in mystery, is not actually that far away.
"The sculptures possess an intentionally wry, almost cartoonlike humour. They combine the textural quality of surface 'shading' that resembles pencil drawings on the sides, with strong and flowing three-dimensional forms. In addition the two sculptures are a 'story board' that describes fhe two different stages of the 'geyser'.
"Fountain of Knowledge thus elicits intrigue and surprise and expresses hope and potential. Their presence, scale, shape and beguiling elegance will arouse curiosity, spark conversation, demand closer inspection and invite touch."

I've wanted to see one for over a year now - I know others might feel differently. Saw this tiny one slowly walking in our house.....it was very small, so I wasn't entirely sure it was indeed the infamous brown recluse (Loxosceles reclusa), but I was able to ID and confirm with others it was indeed the spider I'd hoped to find, maybe not in our house, but not concerned.
My husband has lived in Texas all his life and he's never recalled seeing one before or ever being bitten by a spider. I've raised my children in Texas and it wasn't until this year have I knowing found one. I do not live in fear of spiders anymore. Knowledge is power and learning more about the brown recluse, I have more of an appreciation and respect.
We thought she looked dehydrated so we gave her some water...which you see her drinking.

Didem Karpuzcu
Powering her way to management
Working with tree-falling power tools wasn’t what Didem Karpuzcu had in mind when she enrolled in the Portland MBA program at PSU.
“In Turkey, where I grew up, most people don’t have that kind of toolbox,” says Karpuzcu, who admits she had never even seen a chainsaw until moving to Oregon. Now, as Global Product Manager at Blount International, it’s her job to develop the next generation of power tool accessories for forestry, agriculture and gardening.
A management job at one of Oregon’s top manufacturing companies represents a rapid rise for Karpuzcu who only began exploring graduate programs a little more than two years ago. East Coast schools recruited her, but she chose Portland State for its dedication to diversity and conscientious approach to business.
“I am a competitive person, but I knew I would not be happy in an aggressive MBA program,” Karpuzcu says. “Portland state values community. It’s not just about getting ahead of others.”
For Karpuzcu, it’s always about the challenge, about navigating new terrain, about personal as well as professional growth. The Portland MBA fit the bill: a new city, a chance to meet people from all backgrounds.
Among her MBA cohort, she worked with students ranging in age from their late 20s to their 60s, including seven or eight nationalities. She took advantage of the opportunity to sharpen her collaboration and negotiation skills while fostering connections in the local business community.
“In the MBA program, you don’t just learn from the curriculum,” she says. “It’s just as much about gaining insight from your peers and from professors with industry experience.”
That experience paid off when she applied for the opening at Blount. The position meant moving into an unfamiliar industry and culture with all the responsibilities that come with upper-level management. And that’s just what she was looking for.
“I could have just stayed at home and not challenge myself in this way,” she says, “but I think it pays off. It gives you perspective and allows you to grow.”
At Portland State University, we believe knowledge works best when it serves the community.

If you wish to visit this area the Belfast Glider G2 service offers two suitable stops [halts] known as Catalyst and Thompson Dry Dock. To the best of my knowledge the frequency is every fifteen minutes during normal business hours..
Based on a 24-acre site, Catalyst Inc. is at the heart of Northern Ireland’s hi-tech economy.
A graving dock, or dry dock, is an enclosed basin which can be flooded allowing a ship to be floated in, then drained to allow it to rest on blocks for maintenance or repair. Typical use of dry docks were for the cleaning, removal of barnacles and rust, and re-painting of ships' hulls. Queen’s Island is home to three graving docks, all of which survive today.
Catalyst Inc (formerly known as the Northern Ireland Science Park) was established in March 1999 to create a self-sustaining, internationally recognised, knowledge-based science park in Northern Ireland offering a commercial and research driven centre for knowledge-based industries. The park is located in the Titanic Quarter, Queen's Island, Belfast and hosts a range of international and local technology related companies. It currently has six buildings in operation offering 210,000 square feet (20,000 m2) of workspace. Over 3,000 engineers, researchers, entrepreneurs and executives work in Catalyst Inc campuses in Belfast, Derry and Ballymena.
The Science Park was initially conceived under the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, which designated funding for such a park in Northern Ireland. The not-for-profit NISP Foundation was founded in 1999 by the University of Ulster and Queen's University Belfast (with both Vice Chancellors, Gerry McKenna and George Bain being founding board members), along with representatives of the business community. Most initial funding came from UK government economic initiatives, with the intention that the park would become self-sustaining. It was planned that the 24-acre (97,000 m2) Queen's Island site would eventually be occupied by twelve buildings, including an Innovation Centre for small tech firms and start-ups, the Queen's University Institute for Electronics, Communications and Information Technologies, as well as larger companies and light manufacturing firms.
Glider G2 services link the city centre to Titanic Quarter. It operates as a continual loop passing Belfast City Hall, and allowing travel between the Odyssey, Titanic Building and surrounding areas. Stops are located at St George's Market (May Street), City Hall (May Street), Wellington Place, Chichester Street, Custom House Square, Odyssey, Titanic, Thompson Dry Dock and Catalyst Inc.
