A genuine five pound note was soaked in a mixture of equal parts ethanol and water. The money was then set on fire. The mixture burns below fahrenheit 451 leaving the paper underneath untouched. My faith in science put to the test.

Port Broughton.
In 1839 Edward John Eyre named the Broughton River after his friend William Broughton the first Anglican Bishop of Australia. Broughton served as archdeacon of Australia from 1829-34, and then as the first Anglican Bishop of Australia, not NSW, from 1836-1853. By 1850 there were five Anglican bishops in Australia and the title of Bishop of Australia was dropped in 1853. Pastoralists were not attracted to the area around Port Broughton as the bush was so dense and required felling for grazing. However, the area was part of large pastoral runs held by the Bowmans and others. After the passing of the Strangways Act in 1869 for closer settlement, the area was surveyed and the government chose a site in 1871 on Mundoora Arm for a new port. Captain Henry Dale was chosen by the government to name the port and he named it Port Broughton. The township was surveyed in October 1871 and blocks sold in 1872. The rest of the Hundred of Mundoora was surveyed and offered for sale in 1877.
Channel beacons were erected in 1871 to guide the ships and the first jetty constructed in 1874 at a cost of £1,200. Dredging of the channels began in 1877 and continued off and on for many years. The big boost to the fledgling port was the construction of a railway from Port Broughton to Mundoora in 1878. This opened up this area to farmers as they could then transport their grain easily to the port. Unfortunately for Port Broughton the railway was not extended further into the hinterland. The railway line was used for grain until 1939.
But the port brought new and different activities to the town. From 1910 until around 1915 kelp and seaweed( Posidonia Australia) from the bottom of the Mundoora Arm were dedged and then processed for marine fibres. Marine Fibres Ltd had their own factory, dredge, jetty and workforce of about ten people. The fibres were used for clothing, upholstery and mattresses when woven in with wool. The operations ceased in 1917. A small fishing fleet was established and after the ice works were built local catches of snook and whiting were shipped to Melbourne. For a while the town even had a butter factory. The ketches transporting wheat to Port Adelaide operated until the 1950s. The pretty aspect of the harbour and coastline brought tourists from Adelaide, espcially after the opening of the second storey of the Port Broughton hotel in 1910. Above all, the port handled grain so the town soon had a three storey flour mill owned by Darlings. It operated until 1914. The jetty also provided the ideal spot for the 1920 World War Memorial.
The population of the town reached its first peak around 1901 when it had 400 people. Today it has almost 1,000 residents, many of them retirees. For some years it had its own newspaper. Reticulated water came from Beetaloo Reservoir in 1890 until being replaced by the Murray water from the Morgan-Whyalla pipeline in 1944. The first school opened in 1879 following the Free, Compulsory and Secular Education Act of 1875. A new school building opened in 1892 and is still used as the town museum. In 1929 the school became a Higher Primary School changing to an Area School in 1960. Like most towns, the Institute was the first public hall available for social functions and events. It opened in 1888. It included a local library. Electricity was provided by a private company from 1926 until ETSA took it over in 1959. The first church in the town was the Primitive Methodist Church which opened in 1885 with the Anglican following in 1889 and the Catholic in 1902. The first Post Office opened in 1873. It has a later addition to the orginal house style building. The police station was built in 1890. At the height of the temperance movement in the 1890s the town had a Coffee Palace to try and rival the hotel! The town Council was formed in 1892.

Today was the 4th of July, a day that signifies America and all that is stands for, but it was a very sad day for us.
Last night two woman came knocking on our door. Emily asked what they wanted and they replied that they had a dog and they thought it belonged to our neighbor. It turns out it wasn't her's so we decided to take him in for the night. He was so scared, but we finally calmed him down. He slept through the night and only awoke once.
During the day we took him out to look for his owners. As that failed, we decided to take him to a party we were going attending to see if anyone would take him. We almost had one person, but in the end he would not.
Trying to decide what was best for us and the dog, we decided to take him to the pound so that his owner could try to find him.
Kevin, as a person at the party had named him, is one of the best behaved dogs I have ever known. We hope that his owner will get him, especially with how connected we became with him as we left the pound with tears flowing down our eyes.
We tried to spend the rest of the day celebrating America as best we could, but both our minds were on him the whole day.
Five years ago today I got my first Blythe, Autumn. I can't believe it's been so long and how much has changed in that time!
I was thirteen, in year nine at secondary school and was in my PE kit when I took that photo!
Now I'm eighteen and living away from home. Crazy.
Happy birthday, Autumn. <3

Five YouthPoint is part of the Five Children and Families Trust. We provide a detached youth service within the Speke/Garston South Liverpool area.
The photographs above were taken during a pamper day which took place at a YouthPoint project called Blossom, a 10-week accredited self-esteem project examining all areas of relationships including self awareness, sexuality, peer pressure, and the impact of domestic violence. This project was piloted between April and July this year in direct response to consultation with our young people about areas that affect their life. The project was run on a Friday night as this is when our young people are at greatest risk.
Area demographics indicate significant need in areas of relationships, self esteem and domestic violence which have become more prevalent demonstrated through our work on the streets and findings of our recent pilot.
Data from the Cities Central Community Safety Domestic Violence Prevention Co coordinator suggests that there is a growing number of young people perpetrating domestic violence against their parents and teenage parents are at a greater risk of domestic violence. Speke has the highest teenage pregnancy in Liverpool.
On average Merseyside Police receive 11,500 calls in relation to Domestic Violence each year. National research by Women's aid in relation to teenage domestic violence reports 1 in 5 girls 15 and under has experienced domestic violence from someone they were dating. It also states that one quarter of 14 year olds have been forced to have sex or perform a sexual act by someone they were dating. There are no services addressing this need in Liverpool.

This photo was taken at Anchor 7 Ranch Museum near Thorsby, Alberta.
Larry Gitzel, a former country auctioneer, has created a museum-worthy collection of historical artefacts from the Thorsby region.
Since this has been a farming community since it was settled by immigrants several decades ago, most of these artefacts relate in some way or other to food production.
I've been digging through old photographs and I came across this 180 degree panorama I created. This was taken back in December 2006 near sunset on the Arc de Triomphe.
The five streets shown join a roundabout on which the Arc de Triomphe sits. The streets are not in reality parallel. The magic of stitching the pictures together has created this illusion.
ATypI Antwerp 2018
11–15 September 2018
You’re invited to a celebration of all things typographic! Join us 11–15 September in Antwerp for ATypI 2018, the sixty-second annual conference of the non-profit Association Typographique Internationale. Five type-filled days and nights in this historic city will engage, entertain, and inspire you.
One of my pet peeves is when I'm trying to find a friend's house, but can't read any of the house numbers on the street.
I just installed this number on our house this week. It's a nifty design -- It's solar-powered, so it charges its battery during the day, then when it gets dark, lights up using a couple of white LEDs.
The things I do to help out our friends. (OK, I'll be honest: Most visitors to our front door are Chinese and Pizza delivery guys).
