The stained glass window above the entrance to Manchester Central Library and its full of interesting things. Actually I think its all Shakespeares' characters and he is featured in the central pane.
At the end of our Forces topic the children wrote everything they remembered on post-it-notes and posted them on the board.
Part 8 - The Fountain of Knowledge.
So, I placed myself in the position of a time traveler .
Here was a feeling of déjà vu.
I knew I had been here before, but it was never like this.
This was a derelict ruin, where once, as a child I had clambered the walls and run in the dried up beds of the pool, too small to reach up to the statues.
Yet now I was amazed.
The water had returned and a colossal fountain exuded forth.
Here was knowledge in extreme.
This had to result from a Fountain of Knowledge.
But sadly as the day began to end, and it was with a heavy heart that I left Perseus, astride Pegasus, in prosecution of Poseidon’s sea monster, as it pursued Andromeda.
When we view compensation in service sectors vs. manufacturing, we see that what really makes a difference in the rate of wage growth is the "factor intensity" of the work. In both manufacturing and services, when knowledge is the most important input, pay has risen fastest. Pay for workers rose more slowly when the skill levels required were lower or where the most important factor was capital investment.
The Tree of Knowledge
The little town of Barcaldine (bar–call-din) is pretty much smack in the middle of Queensland and about two days drive from Brisbane. It is in the heart of sheep country which has had a lot to do with its social history. It is known by some as “The Big Left Turn”. The spot where the Matilda Highway heading north finally makes a left turn to the west and becomes the Landsborough Highway.
Barcaldine was also at the heart of a major development in the fabric of the Australian society. It was the location for many gatherings of shearers in the 1880’s where for the first time Australian workers began to organise themselves in response to action by the squatters (landowners) to lower pay rates for shearers. Eventually the Australian Workers Union was formed and with it the momentum for the creation of a political arm, the Australian Labour Party.
Much of this discussion took place under a Paperbark tree on the edge of Barcaldine. This tree became known as The Tree of Knowledge. The tree held a special significance and given its age (about 200 years) much effort was put into ensuring its survival. In 2006 it was deliberately poisoned. The decision was made to preserve the tree. It was removed and essentially embalmed. It was then replaced at its original location and enclosed in an open box structure. Inside the structure the foliage of the tree is made up of timber beams suspended from wire ropes. These beams are recycled communication transmission poles from South Australia. The whole thing is a striking monument and comes alive at night from some clever lighting effects. It is also something of a wind chime and a reasonable breeze will have these 5,000 odd 6 metre long 100x100mm beams gently bumping together to produce some deeper harmonious notes and if one is there late at night when the street is quiet and one listens really hard enough, then one can hear very faintly the strident voices of those long gone shearers as they made their case for a fair go for all Australians

For those who have gotten wind of current defamation and untruthful claims against *ES* and our pose store in copying poses from a rival pose store we filed a DMCA giving us the right to show all evidence of our creations upload dates etc etc filing a DMCA (which is a proper legal channel for any content theft..not just copyright =p covered under the act of the DMCA) in showing just the opposite..that the accusers have copied poses from *ES*.
The reason Linden Lab has this process is to hold providers liable for creations unique to individuals and items they create in SL. Just like skins or clothes which are not copyrighted in most cases.
The Blog below is written by an SL member who understands what DMCA's are. It further explains the DMCA process and issues we have gone through in our name being defamed. We urge you to read. Should anyone have questions you may feel free to IM us in-world or drop us a flickrmail.

Maserati has designed a new road-going Grand Tourer known as the MC12 from which a GT racing version has also been developed. The result is that 37 long years after its last victory in an international championship (1967, Cooper Maserati F1, South African Grand Prix), the Trident is returning to the track.
The Ferrari Maserati Group’s wealth of knowledge and technological excellence have been poured into the design of the new car. In addition to this, its styling was developed in the wind tunnel from a Giugiaro idea by the Maserati technicians with the fundamental contribution of Frank Stephenson, the Ferrari Maserati Group’s own Director of Concept Design and Development. The European type-approved version of the new car goes on sale after the summer.
Designed for high level road use, it can exceed 330 kmh/205 mph at full throttle, sprinting from 0 to 100 kmh in just 3.8 seconds. Although easy and pleasant to drive on the road, the MC12 is also a brilliantly dynamic car. It handles very sweetly and fluidly yet the driver can still feel all the power of a genuinely sporty thoroughbred under the surface. The new model adds the definitive flourish to Maserati’s return to the racing circuits after the recent and highly successful debut in the Daytona 24 Hour Race, of the Trofeo Light. Under the guidance of engineer Giorgio Ascanelli, Maserati’s Racing Division is currently developing the new car to meet the rules of the major international championships.
The customer version for road use will be available exclusively in a white and blue livery, harking back to an old Trident tradition. In fact, blue and white are the colours of the America Camoradi (CAsner MOtor RAcing DIvision) Scuderia which raced the famous Maserati Tipo 60-61 Birdcages in the very early 1960s with Stirling Moss as their lead driver. Around 30 MC12s will be built in all, 25 of which will be for road use with a second series of 25 examples for clients being planned for production in 2005.
I'll have to admit, I really don't know much about graffiti culture, but I highly respect the people who do it, as it it an art form that takes talent plus time and practice to master. Unfortunately many people look at graffiti heads as criminals and their art as eyesores. I think is a terrible preconceived notion that must be changed. On that note, if anyone looking at these photos has any knowledge or info they would like to share about the art shown here or in general I be very grateful for any comments left on these photos.
hugs,
kyle
