Kanmantoo - former mining centre on SA Company Land.
When both the Paringa Mining Company and the SA Company applied for the Mt Barker Special Mining Survey in late 1845 the double application was solved by allotting strips of land to each company as shown in the map earlier. The SA Company had sent their geologists to the area to look for copper and they had had some success. William Giles, the SA Company Manager hoped for great success but this eluded the Company. By 1846 the SA Company had a mine site up and working with 25 mainly Cornishmen employed but the high cost of transport to and from Port Adelaide, (£200 a round trip) meant that the mine never made a profit or dividend for the SA Company. The mine also had a problem as the miners at Kanmantoo were paid less than those at Burra and most left anyway for the Victorian goldfields in 1851. Ore was smelted at Callington smelters or at Mr Dawes smelter at Dawesley. Eventually the SA Company sold its land to the Kanmantoo Mining and Smelting Company in 1862. This company only lasted until 1869. The New Kanmantoo Company mined the area from 1869-1874 with the Company mine closing in 1874 but private miners continued working the area for the next thirty years usually employed by Peter Lewis the blacksmith of Kanmantoo. In 1860 and again in 1886 some silver was also found in the mining area at Aclare mine near St Ives but this closed quickly as a company operation but was also worked by individuals until it finally closed in 1912. The village of St Ives, what was left of it, is now under the freeway built in 1977.
But where was the Kanmantoo mine? It was in several satellite villages to Kanmantoo such as ;Staughton near the current freeway; St Ives also near the freeway but on Paringa Mining Company land not the SA Company land; and at Tavistock between Kanmantoo and the Bremer River. So mining was widespread with Kanmantoo in the middle of all the villages. Kanmantoo was the SA Company base with the Company store and other administrative functions there. The other villages lasted from the first mining in 1846 to late in the 19th century by which time they were generally deserted. This was also the period when most of the mining companies sold off their lands for wheat farming. Although Staughton had a Primitive Methodist chapel (1849) for use by the strongly Methodist Cornish miners, Kanmantoo was the town that got most of the necessary public buildings. It was established in 1849 as a town site on the new government road via Callington to Wellington and the Murray River. Within a few years Kanmantoo had 66 houses, two hotels, a Methodist Church built in 1864, a blacksmith and a general store. The Primitive Methodists had built an early chapel in 1847 but all traces of this disappeared quickly when it was replaced in 1864 by a new Primitive Methodist Church. This Methodist church became the town school building which is now the community hall. Kanmantoo School operated from the early years (1857) in several different locations and in 1880 it became a provisional school with government inspections. The Education Department bought the Primitive Methodist Church in 1921 as a state school and we can see where they replaced a gothic church window with a typical school room window in the 1920s. By 1953 the school had a mere 3 students and it was closed by the government. As a community hall it has a problem for table tennis as the floor was designed to slope towards the pulpit at the front!
One year after the Primitive Methodists built their new Kanmantoo Church the more upper class Wesleyan Methodists built a fine church (1865) in Kanmantoo in Cook Street. It still stands and has a façade with unusual brickwork around the window above the door and the bell cover. When the 3 branches of Methodists united in 1900 the Primitives gave up their church, (which eventually became the town school), and the former Wesley Methodist Church became the only Methodist church in Kanmantoo. The last service was held in this building in 1956 and it is now a private house. It should be in the Register of the National Estate in our opinion because of its historical associations with the Cornish miners of Kanmantoo and its unusual architecture.
Primitive Methodist Church later Kanmantoo state school. The Kanmantoo Wesleyan Methodist 1865.
Kanmantoo also had a Catholic Church built in 1858 as some of the miners were of Irish descent. St Thomas Church was L shaped and quite large on Nursery Street. It was during the 1850s that several large Irish Catholic families arrived at Kanmantoo mines. Father O’Brien laid the foundation stone of the Catholic Church in April 1858. As the congregation swelled with additions to the Irish families a new section was added in 1865 to create the current L shaped appearance. St Thomas’ Catholic Church closed in 1956 and was saved from demolition when new owners restored it as a residence. Lutherans in Kanmantoo travelled to St Peter’s Lutheran church in Callington which was erected in 1864. It appears that most Anglicans in Kanmantoo travelled to St James Anglican Church at Blakiston.
Kanmantoo unlike the other villages survived as a rural service centre for the local wheat farmers. The grain was taken to Nairne, not far away for milling. One of the early farmers was Charles Young who had been a surveyor for the Paringa Mining Company in 1856 when it sold off much of its land not considered suitable for mining. He also surveyed Harrogate. Young bought up land from the Paringa Mining Company in 1866 and called it Holmesdale. It was located near St Ives, just outside Kanmantoo. Within a year he had 25 acres under vines which he quickly increased to 40 acres. He established a winery there that operated for many years. He had an arrangement to use the Kanmantoo school children to pick the grapes and he sold most of his wine to England. He became the squire of the district, representing the area in the Legislative Council, in local government as a councillor and he indulged his interests of education, horse racing and Aboriginal welfare. He used to visit Point McLeay Mission (now Raukkan) and he brought back to Holmesdale in 1887 a young 15 year Aboriginal boy called David Unaipon. We now know that Unaipon went on to publish scientific articles, write books, invent a special shearing comb for sheep and he is depicted on the $50 Australian note. When Charles Young died in 1904 his son Harry took over the property and continued his father’s work. He continued to provide a home for David Unaipon who lived on the Young property most of his life; Harry also became a local councillor; he supported horse racing (there is still a Harry D Young hurdles race at the Easter Oakbank races each year) but he pulled out his father’s vines in 1939 and ended the Kanmantoo winery. Harry Young died in 1944.
Another well known one time resident of Kanmantoo was Dame Enid Lyons who went to school there. Her widowed mother, Eliza Tagget, lived in Kanmantoo before going to Queensland and later to Tasmania. It was in Tasmania that Dame Enid Lyons met her future husband Jo Lyons who became Prime Minister of Australia and established the party that later became the Liberal-Country Party of Australia. Apart from famous residents Kanmantoo also has a well known forest plantation. The combined district schools Arbor Day of 1897 was when the plantation to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee on the throne was created. This plantation still stands despite drought and floods. The creeks and the Bremer River have all flooded on a number of occasions. The worse floods were in 1894, 1913, and in 1939 when the Princes Highway to Melbourne was cut. Evidence of the floods is still visible. The flats below Kanmantoo were also used periodically for military camps and training between 1880 and 1939.
In more modern times Kanmantoo has had a mining resurgence. The copper lodes were worked again between 1970 and 1976 yielding 36,000 tons of copper and 9,000 ounces of gold. More recently Hillgrove Resources has restarted the copper and gold mines of Kanmantoo using modern methods of ore extraction. Hillgrove started on this journey in 2004, getting mining leases in 2008 and finally approval to go ahead with the new mine in 2010. After a further year of construction and work the new processing plant was commissioned for work in November 2011. This construction and site preparation phase has cost Hillgrove $121 million. This large open cut mine will have a life of around 6.5 years and Hillgrove expect to extract 20,000 tons of copper and 10,000 ounces of gold. The mine site was employing 150 people, half of the contractors, by the end of 2011. So the original impetus to settlement is once again relevant to the survival of tiny township of Kanmantoo almost 170 years after its founding.

This small breviary, having more that five hundred folio, is extraordinary for its length, considering it is the summer portion of a two-volume breviary for the use of Liège. The manuscript was completed for ecclesiastical use at Cathedral of Notre-Dame and St. Lambert in Liège in 1420 circa. The attribution is evidenced for instance by the Petitions to the congregation of this Cathedral (fols. 114v-117v), as well as the armorial shield of the family of Surlet de Chokier of Liège represented at the opening of the Psalms. The manuscript has a modest, but interesting, decoration with historiated and non figural initials that mark the liturgical texts. The folios opening the major divisions of the texts, display a border decoration with natural motifs and angels playing instruments. The most notable pictorial effect is probably found in the initials inhabited by transparent figures on rich blue ground. The technique is visible, for instance, on fol. 156r with the gold monstrance hold by the translucent angels for the feast of the Corpus Christi.
Seventeenth-century Flemish stiff-board vellum; sides bent to form 8 mm flap at fore-edge; rebacked; resewn on four double cords; gilt fillet frame, corner fleurons, centered oval formed of gilt laurel; gilt armorial shield inside oval surmounted by crest with horned man, flanked by monogram R C; modern endbands; brown leather fore-edge tabs.

Mobile Deep Linking Can Improve application developer Discoverability
SERPlisting
Google indexes mobile application deep links, and therefore application content can display in internet search engine search engine pages like a website would. This increases the likelihood of new users finding your application through search.
Deep Linking Can Provide You With Understanding Of Campaign Effectiveness
Since deep links can pass data, you are able to more precisely see which campaigns and sources are most effective in driving users for your application developer or driving downloads. Could it be via deep linked ads? SMS or email? Social networking? Referrals? You are able to attribute all sources using deep linking.
Deep Linking Best Practice
Since deep linking directs users to a particular content, it puts users on the different path compared to ideal user flow. What this means is you need to carefully plan how they'll be used and just how they'll present information towards the user.
Deep linking must think about the information hierarchy, architecture, and logic from the application. There might be intermediate steps which are needed for features and functionalities to operate, for instance. In these instances, deep linking would send users to some screen where they wouldn’t have the ability to carry out the actions.
To help make the experience as seamless as you possibly can, you need to make sure that deep links take users straight to the information with no logins needed or interstitial pages displaying. If you can't plan how deep linking structure works with regards to the architecture and logic of the application, it can lead to an undesirable consumer experience.
While developer adoption of mobile application developer deep linking was slow, it’s becoming an extremely important component of excellent products. The possibility to boost the consumer experience, improve application discoverability, increase downloads and retention, as well as drive revenue make mobile deep linking valuable from both a developer and user perspective.

The application process was long and arduous. Applicants were forced to wait, fill out the application form, occasionally in triplicate, or with a different color, and then were subjected to an interview.
Usually these interviews consisted of the hiring manager and his 'sexretary' insulting the applicant and/or their heritage/physical traits. Applicants were then numbered and sent to work, or made to wait until a position was available.

A Kulm WMD Biotech broadcasts herbicide prior to a native prairie reseeding. This will help prevent the "weeds" from getting a jump on, and shading out the native species that will be seeded here shortly afterward. This particular tract of the Carlson Waterfowl Production Area in LaMoure County, ND has been farmed by a local cooperator for the past three years. Farming a previously-broken tract of land helps to get noxious weeds under control and gives good seed bed preparation for the re-establishment of native species. These new seedings will provide more diverse cover and structure for waterfowl and other grassland-nesting bird species.

This manuscript contains the biographies of saints whom the Church commemorates on January 1 through January 31. It was originally part of a set covering the entire year. A companion volume, with texts for March, survives now in Moscow (State Historical Museum, MS Synod. gr. 183). Each chapter in both manuscripts opens with a miniature depicting the death of the respective saint, or less often, another significant event from her or his life. Each text also ends with a seven-line prayer for the well-being of an emperor whose name is spelled by the lines' initial letters as MIChAEL P. This is almost certainly Michael IV, who reigned in 1034-41. The meaning of the letter P is not quite clear. When first used, the books were evidently read out in the emperor's presence, probably in one of the numerous chapels of the great imperial palace in Constantinople, capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. A single leaf from the Walters volume is now kept in Berlin (Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz, MS graec. in fol. 31). The manuscript had lost folia by the sixteenth century, and paper leaves were added at this time, copied from a Metaphrastian Menologion
St Paul lived as a recluse in the Thebaid desert of Egypt and died there ca. 341. St Antony the Great, another Egyptian ascetic, had met Paul once and conversed with him. When he came to visit Paul for a second time, Antony found that he had already expired. Here, the dead monk lies in his cave, eyes shut and hands crossed on his chest; Antony bends over his feet.

SAN ANTONIO (Jan. 17, 2012) -- Secretary of the Army John McHugh reaffirmed the Army's support to Soldiers and families during a visit to the headquarters of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command, Jan. 11.
Although there will be many changes coming to the Army, said McHugh, "What won't change is our commitment to taking care of Soldiers and families."
Following a morning visiting with Wounded Warriors at Brooke Army Medical Center, McHugh met with Installation Management Command, or IMCOM, Commanding General Lt. Gen. Michael Ferriter and other top IMCOM officials at Fort Sam Houston to discuss installation issues.
IMCOM oversees all facets of installation management including Soldier and family morale, welfare and recreation programs within its family and MWR Programs division. Additional responsibilities of the organization range from construction to public works on installations around the world.
McHugh's visit, which included tours of the IMCOM headquarters building and nearby Installation Management Academy, ended with a recognition ceremony for a number of IMCOM Soldiers and civilians.
"I want to tell all the folks at this great command, thank you for what you do for our men and women in uniform [and] for their families -- not just here but all across this great Army," said McHugh. "It's because of you that we're Army Strong."
About the U.S. Army Installation Management Community:

I had another day where I couldn't decide what to profile, however
this time I noticed a theme. Aha! You get a bunch of loosely related
nifty things.

Apps 4 Africa:
Crowdsourcing development of mobile applications for promoting the
public good in Kenya.
In their words:
"Apps 4 Africa challenges local technologists to develop tools on a
variety of platforms that build on the needs of citizens or on open
data sets relevant to the East Africa region.
The contest runs July 1st- August 31st. Winners will receive a small
bit of fame and fortune — cash, gadgets, chances to improve your
technical skills and the opportunity to hob nob with our judges panel
of tech luminaries and civil society leaders at an awards ceremony in
September."

Detroit Medical Center (DMC) Emergency Room Currrent Wait Times:
OR
It seems so obvious and simple — Emergency Room Wait Times by cell
phone and mobile app. Why don't all the hospitals do this? Oh, right,
because most of them can't say they have a 9 minute wait, or even a
half hour wait.
In their words:
"Visit this page in iTunes to get the FREE DMC ER Wait time app on
your iPhone or iTouch,a nd you'll always have the most current
information on DMC ER wait times at your fingertips, as well as a
specail mapping function to show you how to get to the DMC from any
location."
"You can text "ER" to 42660 to get the current ER wait times by a
quick reply text."

Crowdsourcing again, but mobile this time means by foot, not by phone.
This time they are having real folk wander around the oil spill area
with balloons, kites, and similar low-cost items and report back data
about the severity and spread of the BP Gulf Coast oil spill. They
have tip sheets on how to set up your own aerial photo shoot, even
with a camera phone! The idea is that this may be a model for crisis
response in the future. This all gets piped into spreadsheets, a
backend data collection, and ultimately to a Google Maps overlay.
Balloon Aerial Photography:
wiki.grassrootsmapping.org/wiki/show/BalloonAerialPhotogr...
In their words:
"We’re not trying to duplicate the satellite imagery or the flyover
data (though we’re helping to coordinate some of the flyovers and
trying to make sure the data is publicly accessible). We believe it’s
possible for citizens to use balloons, kites, and other simple and
inexpensive tools to produce their own documentation of the spill… and
that such imagery will be essential for environmental and legal
reasons in coming years."

Ben Nanonote:
Today at the A2B3 lunch, I think it was Steve who was passing around a
Nanonote and joking about carrying a portable Linux box in his pocket.
This is such a totally geek thing to do that the table was riveted. He
passed it around, and I actually held it in my hands and cringed at
some of the non-linux commands folks had entered while it was
wandering. I don't know enough Linux to make good use of it, but I
know enough to want one anyway. The very idea of a $99 code
development box that is about the size of the early iPods is ...
seductive in its own way.
In their words:
"The 本 version of NanoNote is an ultra small form factor computing
device. The device sports a 336 MHz processor, 2GB of flash memory,
microSD slot, head phone jack, USB device and 850mAh Li-ion battery.
It boots Linux out of the box and also boots over USB. It’s targeted
squarely at developers who see the promise of open hardware and want
to roll their own end user experience. It’s the perfect companion for
open content; we envision developers turning the device into a music
or video player for Ogg or an offline Wikipedia or MIT OpenCourseWare
appliance. Or you can simply amaze your friends by creating an ultra
small handheld notebook computer. You choose the distribution. The 本
Nanonote is the first in a line of products that will see the addition
of other hardware capabilities. Get your NanoNote and start a
Nanoproject today. Or join one of the existing projects in our
developer community"

The translation between architectural design and the subsequent actualization process is mediated by various tools and techniques that allow design teams, fabricators and installers to engage the materiality of architecture. Over the past decade advances in material development have been catalyzed by increasingly robust implementations of digital design and fabrication techniques that have empowered designers through digital modeling, simulation, and the increasingly digital augmentation of all physical processes. Creative applications of material related technologies have produced new forms of expression in architecture, triggered a debate on digital ornament, and continue to advance the performative aspects of buildings. Yet we are only at the beginning of a new age of digital materiality…
The exhibition positions material systems as combinations of design technologies with material processing and manipulation environments. Material systems are positioned as central to a research based design enquiry that capitalizes on opportunities that emerge when craft-based knowledge is synthesized with CNC-machines, robotic technologies, additive manufacturing and material science. This year’s course will focus on ceramic systems and includes a collaboration with the Harvard Ceramics Program in Allston (consultant: Kathy King). The course builds on years of collaborative research by the Material Processes and Systems (MaP+S) group at the GSD. Ceramics is the first ever material created by mankind – it is omnipresent in the craft-studio as well as in high-volume manufacturing environments. Pleasing to the touch and easily manipulated by hand, it can just as easily be subject to digital technologies and robotic approaches. While ceramic-specific aspects of material design and manipulation will be taught emphasis is on understanding ceramics as a microcosm of material research that offers insights which transfer to work with almost any material used in architecture.
The course is supported by a grant from ASCER Tile of Spain. A selection of project will also be shown at the 2018 CEVISAMA in Valencia, Spain.

First Institute opened Jul 1851 in meeting room of George Coppin’s White Horse Cellars Inn.
“a number of individuals, interested in the mental improvement of the Port, met at the Court-House, to found a Mechanics' Institute and Literary Institution and Library. . . Mr. Coppin had promised them the use of the Masonic Hall, also of his large and valuable library, and even a benefit at the theatre on their paying the necessary expenses.” [Register 29 May 1851]
“A meeting. . . was held at the White Horse Cellar, Port Adelaide, on Friday, September 2, for the purpose of establishing a library and reading-room. . . About 30 persons were present.” [Advertiser 3 Sep 1859]
“Opening of the Port Adelaide Institute. -The opening soiree of subscribers and the public. . . in the large room of the White Horse Cellar, which was densely crowded by the residents of the Port and its vicinity, not less than from 400 to 500 persons being present. . . The Institution had received a good supply of periodicals and magazines through the Adelaide Institute. They had also received a quantity of books. The Government had favorably entertained an application for rooms in the present Custom-House, where, it was to be hoped, they might shortly be domiciled.” [Advertiser 18 Oct 1859]
“subscribers to the Port Adelaide Institute held their first annual meeting in the Reading-Room, White Horse Cellar. . . the total number of subscribers had been 129. . . number of books on the shelves 350.” [Advertiser 26 Oct 1860]
“The buildings formerly occupied by the Customs Department, the Local Court, and the Police Station, but rendered vacant by the erection of the new buildings, are undergoing a course of alterations to fit them for the occupation of other branches of the public service. The late Custom-House is to be transformed into a Telegraph Office. . . The old Court-House has been handed over to the Port Corporation for a Town Hall — a purpose for which it is well suited. The Port Adelaide Institute will also be allowed the use of those premises for their library and reading-room.” [Register 26 Dec 1860]
“letter from the Port Adelaide Institute, asking when it would be convenient for the Council to allow them to occupy the Council room, proposed by the Government, when not otherwise engaged. The Town Clerk was instructed to reply the Corporation had no objection to their coming in, but think the room unsuited for their purposes, and suggested their making further application to the Government for a room for themselves.” [Advertiser 23 Feb 1861]
“The annual meeting of the subscribers of the Port Adelaide Institute was held in the Institute Room, North-parade. . . Gratification was expressed at the success attending the opening of the institute during three evenings of each week, for reading, &c, to afford an opportunity to those benefitted by the early closing movement.” [Advertiser 7 Oct 1863]

“For some years past this institution has been in a very languishing state, but recently its management has fallen into good hands. . . The library and public reading-room have been removed from the Town Hall, and the offices that were portion of the old Telegraph Station have been fitted up for these purposes. Since the committee reduced the subscription to 12s. per annum they have had a large increase of members, 140 being at the present time. . . the reading-room has been thrown open from 10 o'clock a.m. until 10 p.m. The Committee in making these alterations have had to engage a librarian, who could devote his whole time to the services of the Institute.” [Advertiser 6 May 1871]

The collection was initiated by the present Librarian.” [Register 15 Jan 1872]

“the old bonded store on the Government Reserve, the site of which has been handed over for the site of the new Port Adelaide Institute, is in course of being pulled down, we presume to make way for the new building. The store hitherto was leased by Captain Simpson, who generously gave up the lease before expiry in order to admit of the erection of the Institute at an early date.” [Advertiser 5 Dec 1873]
“The foundation stone of the new building for the Port Adelaide Institute is to be laid with much ceremony this afternoon by Mr. David Bower, whose liberal donation was the means of initiating the movement. A procession is to be formed at the Town Hall, and proceed by way of St Vincent and Mundy streets and the North Parade to the site of the building in the Commercial-road.” [Register 31 Oct 1874]
“Port Adelaide Institute. . . has already reached the level of the ground-floor. . . The foundation-stone, which is of Macclesfield marble, is to be placed in the south-east corner. . . immediately above the freestone moulded plinth, and will serve as a rusticated quoin. . . His Worship the Mayor (Mr. J. M. Sinclair) said some of those present would remember a small wooden building which many years ago served for an Institute at Port Adelaide.” [Register 2 Nov 1874]
“The elevations are on the Venetian-Italian style. . . There being no amount available for a tower, a lookout has been provided for by constructing a mansard roof over the angle of the Commercial road and Nile-street, so that when entertainments are going on a flag can be hoisted. A niche for a statue is also provided above the doorway into the class-room facing Nile-street.” [Advertiser 24 Oct 1876]

Mr. Huson's picture, which measures about 6 feet by 4 feet 6 inches, depicts an English country scene. The subject is ‘The Quiet Stream’.” [Advertiser 28 July 1880]

This ship, which is ending its days at Port Adelaide as a coal hulk, was built at Liverpool in 1880.” [News 9 Aug 1933]
“the Art Gallery has just purchased a rare and beautiful old oil painting on wood by an unknown artist, and probably of the 15th century French period. The Director (Mr. McCubbin) is very enthusiastic about the acquisition of their first example of that period, and so well preserved, too. Subject of the painting: St. Martin of Tours and St. Nicholas. According to Mr. McCubbin, it was in the art gallery at Port Adelaide Institute for many years, but little is known of its Australian history, how it came here, and during recent weeks it has hung on the gallery walls at North terrace, where its striking subject and rich coloring have been much admired.” [Advertiser 21 Oct 1943]
“The painting, known as 'St. Martin of Tours and St. Nicholas,' was purchased by the gallery Board from the Port Adelaide Institute authorities in 1943. It has now been identified by the Courtauld Institute of Art, London, as being by the 'Master of the Uttenheim Altarpiece,' Tyroleset School, and dated about 1460. . . The curator of the institute gallery (Mr. Vernon Smith) said last night that he believed the picture was found in the false bottom of a packing case among a number consigned to a printer who worked in the basement of the institute building, about the end of last century. The printer, E. H. Derrington, gave the picture to the institute. . . the painting was on exhibition at the Port Adelaide Institute's art gallery for many years, but few people knew of its existence. It was lent to the National Gallery in 1943 and subsequently purchased from the institute.” [Advertiser 23 Aug 1950]
“Port Adelaide Nautical Museum. . . Space was becoming desperately short and conditions were very over-crowded. . . New exhibits were continually being presented or lent to the museum. The museum is run and maintained by the Port Adelaide Institute. Money for its upkeep is raised by the institute's subscription library. . . The museum, which was the only one of its type in Australia.” [Advertiser 6 Jan 1954]
