SET 3 – HLT Remodel: 8-18-2023
This particular visit was apparently late enough in the evening for Starbucks to have already closed up for the day. (Looks like the timestamp is 7:58PM, so that checks.) I’m just now noticing that there were still a bunch of people hanging out behind the counter, though! Interesting… I wonder what all they were doing in the dark.

Wednesday February 16th 1983
Spot fires have grown into uncontrolled fires in Cudgee Braxholme, Mt Macedon, Monivale, Warburton, the Otways and the Dandenongs.
"... I remember the smoke blackening the air. It seemed like the fires were just beyond the ridge to the south. Yet the fires were many kilometres away in the Dandenongs. I was living in Panton Hill, a small community 40km north east of Melbourne. When the local CFA siren sounded, my father raced up the dirt road to respond, just like many other local CFA members including my friends Stuart and Neville. A truck was sent with both of them and three other local men. My father was asked to stay behind for another shift. The following day I received a telephone call from my tearful mother. All she could say was "It's them", referring to the discovery of 12 dead firemen and their trucks. I was devastated, as was everyone else in our small town. My life has never been the same. Don't expect to find happiness in the distant future, seek it out now! RIP Stuart, Neville, and all the other brave volunteer and professional fire fighters who have lost their lives trying to keep others safe. And all those living firefighters who put their lives on the line have my undying admiration. Most particularly those who volunteer. ..." Bryan [0]
The trip
For the Panton Hill crew the journey would have been a long one. Panton Hill is 32 km north east of Melbourne. To get to the Dandenongs means a trip through Kangaroo Ground, Warrandyte, Ringwood then depending on what time they arrived possibly a drive down Dorset Rd to Ferntree Gulley then Emerald to Upper Beaconsfield. This is the most logical route. That's 70 kilometres to get to the fire in a 4 tonne International Fire Tanker. Going from Ferntree Gully to Emerald has quite hilly terrain. It would have been a long trip. [4]
Upper Beaconsfield
"... As soon as I saw the column of smoke I knew we were in trouble, the day as it was and the area where it started. The whole fire just swept up right through Upper Beaconsfield and took out half the town. At that point, when the wind changed, it was a matter of everyone for themselves. ..." [2] Eric Bumpstead, ( CFA Captian) Upper Beaconsfield.
A fire broke out at 1522 at Belgrave heights fanned by strongs winds pushing the fire in a southerly direction. The temperature is 43 degrees, 6% humidity with winds blowing in the range of 60 kilometers per hour.
By 2050 the fire had crossed the Beaconsfield Emerald road and the wind changed. [1]
"... It was like a hail storm, but it wasn't hail. It was red hot coals and twigs and all [of that] was burning you had to turn your back to it and you were getting pelted with that. It was a devastating fire. ..." [3] Eric Bumpstead, ( CFA Captian) Upper Beaconsfield.
From blowing in a southerly direction, the fire now turned sideways turning a 1 kilometer fire front into a 15 kilometer fire front. Winds now reached 100 km/hr parallel to the Princess Highway to the right, Cardinia Reservoir to the left. Upper Beaconsfield lay in it's path. There are no timestamps on the fire distribution map that I'm describing. That was the scene a Panton Hill CFA tanker crew found themselves in on that day. I knew most of the crew on that tanker. A mate, a mates brother. Anothers step father. Of the three locals on the Fire tanker, I knew Nev the best. I knew Stuart because his brother Wayne was in the same year as Nev and myself. I knew of Mr Marsden because I'd had classes with Chris. So for me this is personal.
Post fire
The last I'd seen of Nev was the finals at High School. I wrote the following in 2007.
"... I started school with Neville, did the same classes, same house, played cricket & footy in the lunchtime breaks. Nevs' family where Orchardists, growing apples in the hilly areas of Panton Hill not far from this shot. At school we visited the Jefferys farm in one of our classes. We got to see how they farmed the land. My overriding memory is the drip feeding setup they had to equalise the pressure in the pipes when watering the trees and the steepness of the land. Nev was going to Dookie (oldest Ag college in Vic) that year looking to continue on the land no doubt. But it was not to be. Tragedy was to strike the Jefferys again not long after the fires. Mr. Jeffery died from a heart attack. Sad stuff. When I found out about the memorial service all those years ago I made a choice of having a school photo taken instead of attending. I'd already had a pretty crappy year and I didn't want to start the new one with a service. Bush fires are part of life here, a constant threat. If you live around the area long enough there is no way you escape it. I grew up with them as a 4 year old, drawing black pictures in kinder for months after (so my mum tells me). So in the summer it never really leaves your mind, will a fire start this year? In '83 a big one stared. And as a volunteer the Panton Hill CFA Nev with other members went to help and paid the ultimate price. ..." [5]
I finished school and went to Uni in the city and was lucky enough to get a job with the Eltham Shire Council Parks and Gardens. For pretty much the entire time I was at Uni, I'd spend all my spare days and holidays working through the shire. This included the up-keep of the Panton Hill memorial Park. After the fires, a glass block was laid in stone at the park as a memorial. So while I worked at the central depot Bernie and myself would often spend the morning cleaning up the park, crack out the snags and have lunch at this park. I don't know when but a number of years later someone fired a shotgun blast at the block partially destroying it. It's since been repaired.
A revisit
After the fire, I barely remember the newspaper and television coverage. The lingering memory a burned out International Fire tanker reported in, "The Sun" or "The Herald." Coronial reports aren't released to the public. There is certainly no mention of how they got into trouble, where they traveled. 30 years later I to take a look myself.
Online
Firstly I started on-line. I found the original image I saw in the newspapers. It's a black and white unidentified photograph of a fire tanker in Upper Beaconsfield.The images are not in the public domain but you can see them here. [6] It's not much but gives you an idea of the equipment at the time. The fire truck new would have looked like the tanker shown here outside the Diamond Creek CFA fire station in 1982. [7]
To me looking at the tanker, there is no real protection. The windows, doors in the cabin are standard fittings and the crew are exposed.In another shot shown on the online ABC 30th memorial I saw a shot of the typical kit issued to CFA fire fighters in 1982. [8] The heavy cotton boiler suits, the plastic hard hats and neck cooler. The choice of kit was to have tragic consequences on Ash Wednesday.
Next I searched on Youtube for any TV footage at the time. I was in luck. Someonehad copied the original 1983, GTV-9 news reports. Then by luck I saw a scene I'd missed on the news. The footage narrated by Brian Naylor shows the chaotic scene late in the afternoon and news the following day the two burned out tankers in Upper Beaconsfield. That afternoon I'd learned more about the firethan I had known. I screen capped the shots and it gave me an indication of where the trucks got caught. With that information I picked a day to find the location shown in these images.
2013FEB02 Upper Beaconsfield
I need to see the location. Looking at images was not going to be enough. I got out the Melways and looked for 'St Georges Rd', Upper Beaconsfield. While it wasn't hard to locate, navigating proved a pain. Eventually I found the main town and parked the car. Got out and purchased some bread, a drink and checked the map again. Osbourne road can clearly be seen on the Youtube footage. [9] So I followed the road and located the entrance to the park. Got out of the car and followed the track down the hill. The first thing that strikes me is the width of the track. It's not wide enough to turn around. Once you commit, that's it. The next thing is the trees. Even after 30 years you can see the blackness of the trunks.
There is some works going on. There's a excavator at the top of the park and the track has been cleared. My guess this is for the memorial but I later find it's for a firebreak. The completion date was meant to be 2011/12. As I go further down the hill I can't see anything that resembles the photos I've seen. What I do know is this road faces west, the direction of the fire. As the wind changed at 2050. It would have been dark by then. As I write this it's now dark at the same time. You would have been able to see the fire coming towards you. There's no way to turn around.
You simply cannot maneuver these tankers with up to 4 tonne of water easily. I estimate the slope is fifteen degrees at some places. I travel further down the hill. I don't find any marker showing the spot so I make my way up. On the way up I thought I could make out the spot where the photos show the trucks stopped. But on the news tonight it looks like there is in fact a marker. I'll go have a better look when winter comes around. I took a few shots at the top showing the name of the park entrance and left.
I had some lunch at the Upper Beaconsfield memorial up near the Post office. Interesting read of the posters they had up. The pre-Internet warnings were a lot different. I then left. I was running low on fuel I played chicken with low levels of petrol only locating a petrol station with "Lo" on the fuel gauge.
2013FEB16 Panton Hill
Today I went up to Panton Hill. I knew they'd have something planned at the park, took some shots and went home. I'd seen enough. Later on in the day the seven o'clock news came on. There was a follow-up story with Eric Bumpstead and some footage of CFA members laying some flowers at yet another memorial. I'll have to search for this some other day. I'd seen enough.
A lot of things changed after Ash Wednesday. It still is the largest single loss of CFA personal in one fire. Pre Ash Wednesday the kit supplied was adequate for grass fires, useless for forest fires.
"... Robert Rankin AFSM has been awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his service to the community through the CFA, as part of the Queen’s Birthday awards. The former executive manager of CFA Fleet Services first joined CFA in 1981 as a design engineer in the mechanical services division. Over the next 30 years he was instrumental in a number of fire truck upgrades that still protect firefighters today. ..." [10]
People such as Robert Rankin have spent their careers working on improving the safety of vehicles. One of the biggest problems with fires is a burn-over where flames engulf the truck, occupants and those inside. This is what happened to the Panton Hill crew. Fire quickly over-ran the truck, incinerating the crew.
In the Black Saturday Bushfire, February 22, 2009, a Diamond Creek tanker in Wandong was over-run by fire. The occupants put the truck in "survival mode"using water carried in the back to protect the crew. The whole vehicle survived because it was engineered to withstand such a situation. [11] [12]Then there is the clothing. Instead of cotton, sturdy boots it's a fire system, starting with personal protection clothing (structural system) [13] specifically designed for keeping the wearers cool yet still being able to withstand high temperatures.
Science is now driving the kit being supplied. Breathing apparatus, personal communications and location equipment, air quality monitors and training to use and maintain this kit. This is above and beyond the actual fire training. There is a whole section set up to drive this innovation. [14]
lot of the advances mentioned can be traced to the loss of life on the day. 75 lives on Ash Wednesday. 21 in Upper Beaconsfield. Nine residents and twelve fire fighters. [15] The CFA is becoming more professional. But mistakes are still made. You could see this on Black Satuday. Another fire, another place.
When I looked up the CFA, 'Roll of Honour', I found a picture of Nev and Stu. Head shots taken from their last High School photos just as I remember them. [16]

How to be self actualized? Learn about spiritual fitness and self transcendence meditation with the energy healer and spiritual teacher, Jeffery Allen, in his FREE Masterclass:
IMPORTANT TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 Maslow’s Pyramid
00:34 Self-Transcendence
01:18 How to get Self-Transcendence
02:24 Introducing the program: Unlocking Transcendence
04:00 8 benefits you’ll get from this course
So you've all heard of Maslow's pyramid Abraham Maslow said that there's a pyramid of needs that all human beings go true and once we have had some of our more basic needs taken care of food shelter clothing needs grow.
Right at the top of the pyramid if you'll recall from your lessons in school the highest need is self-actualization at least that's what people think you see Abraham Maslow after his pyramid was published said that there is a greater need and he was disappointed he never got to upgrade the general idea of his pyramid that greater need way above self-actualization is what Maslow called self transcendence and this is what he said self transcendence is all about.
It's about becoming aware of not just your own potential but humanity's potential at large you become aware of your ultimate truth and the unity of all things isn't that beautiful what master was
saying is that that is almost the ultimate state that human beings could rise to where we are aware of our own potential humanity's potential and the unity of all things the question is how do we get there so here at Mindvalley we've been looking at how could we help people grow into their greatest selves and over years of working on these projects we've realized.
I'm sure you'll agree that we live in a world where we have been trained to notice and take care of our physical bodies we are trained to eat well to go to the gym to workout maybe yoga classes that's because we can see and feel our bodies but all of you and I we all know that there's something beyond just a physical body that we are dualistic beings we have a soul and essence of consciousness that nobody teaches you how to be spiritually that
so we've been working in a program that would take people through 60 days akin to say learning to workout in the gym or build your muscle or get in shape, what if there's a program that could make you spiritually fit:
That could help you open up your awareness open up that spiritual
essence within so that you can rise up Maslow's pyramid and help get to self transcendence.
So, this is what we did we brought in Jeffrey Allen who is one of our favorite teachers in the art book energy healing and spirituality and working with Jeffrey for almost a year now we've developed a program Hall unblocking transcendence 60 days to spiritual fitness I'm really excited to be introducing this program to our community because it's so important to the worldview that our community believes in the unity of everyone self-awareness connectedness and aligning with our ultimate potential now I'd like to invite you to attend a masterclass with me and Jeffrey where we'll be diving deeper into this topic and Jeffrey is going to show you how to unlock transcendence you see what Jeffrey says is one of the biggest things that hold us back is lack of sovereignty sovereignty is the idea that we are masters of our own self that we are the rulers of our own world we however have been trained to set goals to think about our purpose to give meaning to the world and to things based not on our own sovereignty but on society media television politician religion our parents our education system the Industrial Age teaching methods that were drilled into us when we were kids but what if we could be truly in tune with our own sovereignty.
What if we could tap into that part within us and then decide the life we want to create the goals we want the purpose we have on this planet this master class cover staff because when you awaken to that potential your and you start moving up to the top of the pyramid now what does that look like in a practical sense Jeffrey says it's eight things the first is you live life with purpose you know who you are while you're here and how you're going to make the world a better place secondly as you're living from purpose life flows for you when people talk about being in the state of bending reality or being in the flow state you know what that is because you live a life where it almost seems as if the universe is perpetually putting beautiful synchronicities and coincidences in your way this leads to number three Joy.
Join us for this class with Jeffrey Allen it's a full-on one-hour
class where you'll learn about the different levels of awareness
you'll learn sovereignty and where you'll go through a beautiful exercise with Jeffrey information on the master classes below and expect a really incredible new program on Mindvalley Academy launching soon with Jeffrey on 60 days to spiritual fitness
“Biogenic Timestamp” shows that bacteria are capable of internalizing our technological creations and modifying them. In the case study carried out by this project, electronic components are subjected to genetically modified blue-green algae. These cyano-bacteria are among the most primitive forms of life. Due to their ability to perform photosynthesis, they depend on light energy. The tiny creatures ingest elements like silicon, gold and iron from the computer hardware, reorder them, and thereby completely disorganize the linear logic of the human-made electronic circuits.

ZoomCharts Co-Founder and CEO Janis Volbergs gave a well received presentation at a UI/UX meetup event to talk about the array of progressive ZoomCharts features available today and the great things the team is coming up with for the near future.
Check out this overview of Volbergsâ presentation to discover why ZoomCharts is a world leader in interactive data visualization software:
The name of our product is ZoomCharts, and what we are producing is ZoomCharts SDK, which is the worldâs most interactive data software. We are a new startup established in Latvia just last year. The product, since March of this year, is available for purchase and has been purchased by many different customers from all over the world. The actual product is entirely new data visualization software development GIT, which puts in the center not the technology, but the person sitting behind the device that every one of us has in the pockets; users of mobile phones, users of iPads.
We wanted to make such a development toolkit that would allow developers to create interfaces that make it easy to access data, to analyze data, to interact with data. We are not a library that lets you create a chart, we are a library that lets you create an interface that then engages the user into an immersive, interactive data exploration venture.
To give you an idea of what sort of visualizations you can achieve using our development kit, we have products like the network chart. The network chart lets you visualize different networks of data, whether they are social networks, whether they are Internet of things networks. All of that you can visualize on any device you have, basically, whether itâs an iPhone, iPad, notebook, or touch TV. The interactive time chart lets you access big data with time and explore what happens within specific areas of that data without using any other interface component. We have also reinvented the pie chart and the facet chart.
What makes our SDK unique? First of all, itâs built to make data navigation engaging, so it wonât be just a boring chart or boring interface. It will be interesting for people to actually use your software that would include a ZoomCharts application. We also know that most of you like the performance of the application, so we put a lot of effort in creating this development kit such that it will be super nice looking and super fast on most contemporary devices. We have also added different aspects of how you can visualize different data in a compelling way. And for those of you who already have some applications or products, ZoomCharts helps you sell your product because when we show our products to actual consumers, when they see the interface built with ZoomCharts, they love it, and they can immediately see how they can use it for other purposes. So basically, what we are doing with ZoomCharts is accelerating the emergence of new ideas that couldnât have been done yesterday because there wasnât such development yet available.
I could talk a lot about it, but itâs better to show you some real life examples of how we have applied ZoomCharts to tackle some of the issues in the real world. With a product called myinstabank, the Internet account statements show a long boring list, and when you need to see the big picture, you just canât. All you get is just a list. Normally you would just use the export option to make some Excel charts. We found that we could use our interface to give all this information another meaning in the hands of users. We applied our charts to the already existing data within the Internet banks.
What we have here is a time chart. It shows you data aggregated by timestamps. So if you have any data that has timestamps, you can use the time chart. The picture is where most of the chart libraries end; it is the end product of their libraries. In our case, the chart is just the beginning of your venture because now letâs imagine you wanted to see what happened in the year 2012. What do you have to do? One click. You just click on it, and immediately the chart communicates with the banking database, retrieves more data for that period, and immediately aggregates data. No more dropdowns where you have to pick specific dates or unintuitive actions. The rest of the interface then responds to the time period you have selected. The list is there, but now itâs filtered for that one year you just selected. If you need some other information, just one click, and the interface is communicating back to the server and fetching data. Speaking about the pie charts, they immediately show you where your money is coming from, and how you spent your money. All our charts are interactive, so you can click on any slice to filter out the time chart. I said before that we have reinvented certain aspects of the pie chart and one of the key aspects that we have reinvented is, normally if you have a pie chart, you have a grey area that says âothersâ and you never know whatâs inside there. Well, we have fixed that problem. Just one click and it automatically expands. So now, using one pie chart, you can explore all the data.
All of this is interactive, so on iPad, you can use gestures to swipe in, swipe out, do all sorts of things. All charts come bundled with extensive API, which means that you can combine these charts with other JavaScript components that exist within your application to create an interface and an experience to your user that you are looking forward to. The time chart is big data ready because it comes with a very smart data cache and if you attach it to the data sources that handle a lot of data, whenever you do some navigation, it automatically reflects only data for that particular period of time, so there is no unnecessary data being fetched from your servers. Thus, you keep the loads small, the interface fluid, and the overall experience very nice.
One of the very unique products that we have within ZoomCharts is the network chart component. The network chart component lets you visualize different social, financial and other network structures directly within your device. In this particular example, what we did is fetch a subset of the IMDb database to show you how you can use the network chart to visualize information that is already there but in a totally different way. So imagine you get home and you would like to see a new movie but you are not really sure what you want to look for. You know that you like Al Pacino, so what you do is type in âAl Pacinoâ and immediately you see the actor and the top movies of his. This is the point where your joy of data exploration begins. With a single tap, you can explore what other actors are involved in that particular movie. And you can continue this exploration until you find content that youâd be happy to consume. What is good here is this moment of trust because you started with Al Pacino, you trust that person, you love movies with him, and now you can see that there is Andy Garcia that is linked to him. So you think, âhmm, if I like Al Pacino, they are linked in this movie together, maybe thatâs something worth watching today.â With a right click, you can instantly access more information about the movie, and watch a trailer or buy the movie. So what Iâm saying here is, using ZoomCharts as a core component of visual interface, you can let people discover your content, find something they like, and also buy it or consume it. So itâs not just seeing the big picture, but itâs interacting and consuming. And all of this is happening within one interface.
In the next year, weâre also thinking about expanding the charts to let cross device communication, which would mean that you would go home, take your iPad, open up this software, and when you find a movie that you want to watch, you would click âbuyâ or âwatchâ, and it would start playing on your TV. So, devices would be cross linked through using the ZoomCharts interface.
This chart comes with extensive API so you can apply different filters to the data. For instance, in this particular example, we have applied this IMDb filter here, so if youâre really are not looking at anything below 9, you can click on 9 and see that there are not that many movies within this subset. If you are not that kind of person, you can put the star limit to something smaller, and movies appear.
Another interesting aspect is the time machine within which you can filter out movies that are very old, or on the other hand, you can focus on movies that are contemporary. All of that can be easily configured for your application, for your customers, for your product, as you need it. You can style any aspect of your charts with pictures line, arrows.
Many companies, among which is Hewlett-Packard from the United States have already found usage for their cloud solutions to visualize all sorts of different things.
If you go to our webpage you can see other examples of ways you can use our charts. Our charts can be cross combined in very interesting ways. What you see here is Juliaâs social network and who her friends are. You can play around with the network and expand and see what other people are there in real time, but when you click again on Julia, a pie chart pops up and says what social networks Julia is using most. So in this user interface, we are already combining a lot of data that is easily accessible with just a few taps. And it doesnât stop there. So, she loves Facebook. We can click on Facebook, and the second level of the pie chart comes up. There can be unlimited levels. The second level shows which tags she is using within that social network. So now we know that Julia loves Facebook, and within Facebook, she loves to talk about love. Another thing you can do is click on Love, and you get this interactive time chart that says when exactly she is talking about love on Facebook.
In the close future, in a year or two, we are looking forward to integrating support for a number of new human-machine interfaces that are emerging. We are also looking forward to integrating voice control into our charts so you can easily zoom in, zoom out or do other sorts of navigational things.
There are many new chart types coming up, such as the GeoChart, which will let you easily put those interactive pie charts on a map so you can display different statistics for people within one chart.
We are also looking forward to creating a bunch of cloud services that would enable cross chart communication on the one hand, and other things that Iâm not really allowed to tell you now, but there will be some big things that you will hear about.
What is good is availability. As I mentioned before, the software is already available to download on our webpage. You can easily get a 30 day free trial to just play around with it. We are giving away free licenses also for non commercial projects, for students, for charities. But if you have a commercial project you would still need to obtain a developer license.
