An entrepreneur has come up with these boxes to prevent porch pirates... This one block in Bed Stuy had four of them (three in this picture). Not nearly as ubiquitous as the "Red Claw" steering wheel locks of the 1990s, but definitely a presence. And in an age where people make more use of online shopping and maybe even getting medicine through the post, it makes sense.
Looks like Zeiss AG has completed the new campus for its innovation center in our area during COVID. If I am apply a job there, would I get employee discount??

Who would have thought that when I got that spectrum nearly 30 odd years ago we would be in the place we are now with iPads/Phones etc. What is going to happen in the next 30 or will innovation slow down... I hope not.
Here we see Pan Am train ED8 with a pair of matching ex-CSX C40s passing the signal just east of milepost 367 on a lazy Sunday morning. I decided to pass on the usual shot in Orange and try something different, for better or worse. The building complex was a mattress factory in its former life, rechristened the Orange Innovation Center and home to several small businesses, including the landscaper with the red truck at the loading dock, and Honest Weight Artisan Brewery

The oven opens into a large vaulted room. A chimney draws the smoke up and away from the chattering ambiance that is keeping cosy and active away from the weather outside. This sheltered space will be warm to help dough rise, or, if it has arrived under a towel from a local house, it will provide the warm conditions for dough to stay risen if there is a wait for space or heating. The selection of tools to the right of the oven gives an idea of the diameter of its interior.
Managing fire is a theme that flows as a continuum through history and into prehistory. Small innovations, common sense, observation, organization and vision all moving the subject from person to person.

Platform 6 at Purley station has recently gained three posters celebrating people who had local connections to Purley and Croydon. The posters are titled 'Welcome to Purley, Croydon', 'Innovate' and 'Inspire' and celebrate Amy Johnson, Samuel Coleride-Taylor and William Jessop.
The artworks were commissioned by Purley Business Improvement District and were made by local artists Kevin Zuchowski-Morrison, Dan Cimmermann and Morgan Davy.
Amy Johnson achieved worldwide recognition when, on 5th May 1930, she became the first woman to fly solo from the now closed Croydon Airport to Australia. Flying G-AAAH Jason, she landed at Darwin, Northern Territory on 24 May.
The composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was brought up in Croydon. He studied at the Royal College of Music. After completing his degree, Taylor became a professional musician, soon being appointed a professor at the Crystal Palace School of Music; and conducting the orchestra at the Croydon Conservatoire.
In 1801 Civil Engineer William Jessop was appointed Chief Engineer of the horse drawn Surrey Iron Railway from Wandsworth to Croydon. In 1803 the next phase of tramway was authorised south from Croydon towards Merstham and Godstone. Jessop was again appointed Chief Engineer. The line reached Mestham but was never continued to Godstone.

If there are "drive-throughs" for cars these young horsemen are probably right to expect "Ride-throughs" for them as they line up for their burgers and chips at the horse fair!

The International Sculpture Park in Ayia Napa, Republic of Cyprus, is a remarkable testament to the beauty and power of sculpture. Spanning several decades, the park's history is a story of artistic vision, cultural exchange, and the celebration of human creativity. In this essay, we will explore the fascinating journey of the International Sculpture Park, tracing its origins, evolution, and impact.
The idea for the International Sculpture Park was born in the early 1990s when a group of local artists and art enthusiasts in Ayia Napa recognized the potential of creating a dedicated space for large-scale sculptures. They envisioned a place where artists from around the world could come together to showcase their works and engage with the local community. With the support of the Ayia Napa municipality, the project began to take shape.
In 1994, the first edition of the International Sculpture Symposium was organized in Ayia Napa. This symposium brought together sculptors from different countries who collaborated to create a series of monumental sculptures. The event was a resounding success, attracting international attention and paving the way for the establishment of the International Sculpture Park.
In 1996, the park officially opened its doors to the public, becoming the first outdoor sculpture park in Cyprus. Situated on a vast expanse of land near the coast, the park provided a serene setting for the display of sculptures. Its location in Ayia Napa, a popular tourist destination, ensured a steady stream of visitors, both local and international, who could experience the power of sculpture in a unique environment.
Over the years, the International Sculpture Park grew in size and ambition. The annual sculpture symposium continued to be a highlight of the park's calendar, attracting renowned artists from all corners of the globe. These artists were invited to stay in Ayia Napa for a few weeks, during which they would create sculptures using various materials, such as stone, metal, and wood. The symposiums not only fostered artistic collaboration but also promoted cultural exchange and understanding among the participants.
Each year, the newly created sculptures were added to the park's permanent collection, enriching its aesthetic and conceptual diversity. The park soon became a haven for sculpture enthusiasts and art lovers, who could explore the outdoor space and engage with the artworks in a dynamic and immersive manner. The sculptures themselves ranged from abstract and avant-garde to figurative and representational, reflecting the diverse artistic styles and perspectives of the participating sculptors.
As the reputation of the International Sculpture Park grew, so did its impact on the local community and the broader cultural landscape of Cyprus. The park became a site for educational initiatives, offering workshops, lectures, and guided tours to students, artists, and the general public. It served as a platform for artistic experimentation and innovation, encouraging dialogue and critical thinking about the role of sculpture in contemporary society.
The International Sculpture Park also played a significant role in promoting Ayia Napa as a cultural destination. While the town was primarily known for its beaches and nightlife, the park added a new dimension to its identity, positioning it as a place where art and nature converge. The park's success inspired the development of other cultural projects in Ayia Napa, including art galleries, exhibitions, and public art installations, further enhancing the town's cultural appeal.
In recent years, the International Sculpture Park has continued to evolve and adapt to the changing artistic landscape. It has embraced new technologies and art forms, incorporating interactive and multimedia elements into its exhibitions. The park has also expanded its outreach efforts, forging partnerships with international sculpture parks and organizations to facilitate artist exchanges and collaborative projects.
Today, the International Sculpture Park stands as a testament to the power of art to transcend boundaries and connect people across cultures. Its collection of sculptures represents a diverse range of artistic expressions and narratives, providing a window into the human experience. The park continues to inspire and captivate visitors, offering a unique space for contemplation, exploration, and artistic enlightenment.
In conclusion, the International Sculpture Park in Ayia Napa, Republic of Cyprus, has emerged as a cultural landmark and a hub of artistic expression. From its humble beginnings as a local initiative to its current stature as an international platform for sculpture, the park has evolved and flourished over the years. Its impact on the local community, the art world, and the broader cultural landscape of Cyprus is immeasurable, making it a testament to the enduring power of sculpture as a form of human expression.
