Maintaining an edge is one thing, but letting our edge in innovation dull has repercussions for the amount of food we can produce, the quality of life we live, and the potential for the next thing that will change the world. Are we keeping pace? Is Are the private sector, government, and the academy disrupting enough to innovate more or is there a stagnation that threatens continued development? Are certain parts of the world innovating better than other parts, who are the major catalyzers, and where does the intersection of technology and biology come into play?

Leipzig Botanical Garden (3.5 hectares), (German: Leipziger Botanische Gärten, Botanischer Garten der Universität Leipzig), is a botanical garden maintained by the University of Leipzig, and located at Linnéstraße 1, Leipzig, Saxony, Germany. It is the oldest botanical garden in Germany and among the oldest in the world, and open daily without charge.
Leipzig's botanical garden dates back to at least 1542, although the garden has moved several times. They were created shortly after the university's reform in 1539, when Maurice, Elector of Saxony donated the Dominican monastery of St. Pauli. Its former monastery garden, on the north side of the Paulinerkirche, was reworked as a hortus medicus by May 1543.
This first garden was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, and in 1648 the university acquired a new site (now Grimmaische Street) where in 1653 it created its second garden. In 1807 the garden was moved to the grounds of the Pleißemühlgraben, where greenhouses were constructed after 1840. By 1857 the garden cultivated more than 10,000 species, of which 4,500 were grown in the greenhouses.
In 1876-1877, after the decision to erect a court house on its site, the garden was relocated once again to its present location southeast of Leipzig. The initial size of this new area (2.8 hectares) was extended in 1895, and the new greenhouses (1232 m²) were more than twice as large as those at the previous site. The garden was utterly destroyed in World War II, with the ruins of the Botanical Institute subsequently demolished and backfilled with rubble. By 1954 the show houses had been restored, but economic difficulties in the 1980s led to closure of some greenhouses. After reunification, the garden was completely renovated (1992-2004), with a new butterfly house created in 1996 and five new greenhouses built in 1999-2000.
Today the garden contains a total of some 7,000 species, of which nearly 3,000 species comprise ten special collections. The garden contains a systematic department, as well as geographic arrangements of plants from the steppes of Eastern Europe and Asia, forests of the northern hemisphere, prairies, and eastern North America, as well as a marsh and pond with regional flora and an alpine garden containing plants from Asia, Europe, and South America. Its greenhouses (2,400 m² total area) contain plants from subtropical and tropical zones of the Mediterranean region, Africa, Central America, and Australia.

Maintained by the National Park Service, Kingsley Plantation on Fort George Island is home to Florida’s oldest surviving plantation house. The plantation house was built in 1798, and is surrounded by other later buildings, including 23 remaining cabins for the enslaved. As with most plantations in the 18th century, the house faces the Fort George river, rather than the rest of the plantation, because transportation by ship or boat was the easiest way to get crops to market or to bring in supplies.
The story of Kingsley Plantation dates back to the Kingdom of Great Britain’s 18th-century occupation of Florida. One of several plantations established in the region during this period, the island was ceded to Richard Hazard in 1765 for cultivating indigo. After Great Britain transferred Florida back to Spain in 1783, the Spanish government granted the island to South Carolinian John “Lighting” McQueen. McQueen developed a plantation with 300 enslaved Africans in 1793 but soon found himself in bankruptcy, turning the property over to Georgia’s John McIntosh in 1804. To escape punishment from the Spanish for leading an unsuccessful rebellion to annex Florida into the United States, McIntosh fled back to Georgia, leasing the property to Zephaniah Kingsley Jr. in 1814; Kingsley then acquired it in 1817.
Born in England in 1765, Kingsley was raised in Charleston and grew up to become a successful shipping merchant and slave trader. Considered “one of Florida’s most flamboyant slaveholders”, Kingsley purchased and married Anna Madgigine Jai, a Wolof girl from present day Senegal in 1806. He eventually grew to depend on Anna to run his plantations in his absence. After taking over McIntosh’s land at Fort George Island, they managed 60 enslaved under a task system to produce indigo, sea island cotton, okra, oranges and other vegetables at the 1,000 acre property. Sold after Kingsley’s death, the Kingsley Plantation was briefly controlled by the Freedmen’s Bureau and was under private ownership until being acquired by the State of Florida in 1955. With many of its structures still surviving on the isolated sea island, the property was acquired by the National Park Service, becoming a part of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve in 1991.

The 'Mission of Masonry' framed quotation.
The Mission of Masonry
"I believe that a determination to maintain the values, which have been the rock upon which the Masonic structure has stood firm against the storms of the past, is the only policy which can be pursued in the future."
Most Worshipful Brother His Majesty King George VI.

If we examine the foundations of Masonry, we find that it rests upon the most fundamental of truths, the first truth and the last, the sovereign and supreme Reality. Upon the threshold of its Lodges every man, whether prince or peasant, is asked to confirm his faith in God the Father Almighty, the Architect and Master-builder if the Universe. Life leads, if we follow its meaning and think in the drift of its deeper conclusions, to one God as the ground of the world, and upon that ground, Masonry lays her cornerstone therefore it endures and grows.
This profound and reverent faith, from which, as from a never-failing spring, flow heroic devotedness, moral self-respect, authentic sentiments of fraternity, inflexible fidelity and honor in life, effectual consolation and hope in death, Masonry at all times has religiously taught. Perseveringly it has propagated it through the centuries. Scarcely a Masonic discourse is pronounced, or a Masonic lesson read, by the highest officer or humblest lecturer that does not earnestly teach two extremely simple and profound principles, love of God and love of our fellow man. That is the one true religion which is the very soul of Masonry, its basis and apex, its light and power. Upon that faith it rests, in that faith it lives and labours, and by that faith it will conquer, putting the doubts and bigotries if men to shame with its simple insight and the dignity of its golden voice. With the subtleties of speculation
Of no one age, Masonry belongs to all ages; of no one religion, it finds great truths in all religions. Indeed, it holds that truth which is common to all elevating and benign religions, and is the basis of each; that faith which underlies all sects and over-arches all creeds, like the sky above and river-bed below the flow of mortal years. It is not a religion, still less a cult, but it is a worship in which all good men may unite, that each may share the faith of all. It does not undertake to explain or dogmatically to settle those questions or solve those great mysteries which out-top human knowledge. Beyond the facts of faith it does not go. With the subtleties of speculation concerning those truths and the unworldly envies growing out of them, it has not to do. There, divisions begin, and Masonry was not made to divide men, but to unite them. It asks not for tolerance, but for fraternity, leaving each man free to think his own thought and fashion his own system of ultimate truth. Therefore, all through the ages it has been, and is today, a meeting-place of differing minds and a prophecy of the final union of all reverent and devout souls.
When Masonry has fulfilled its sublime and prophetic mission upon earth it will rejoice because, high above all dogmas that divide, all bigotries that blind, all bitterness that be clouds, will be written the simple words of each of the eternal religion -- the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, the moral law, the golden rule, and the hope of a life everlasting.

Most Canadians support 'Occupy' protests, poll finds
"The Occupy Wall Street movement that has spread throughout the U.S. and Canada has the support of most of the Canadians who are aware of it, a new poll has found."
"The Nanos poll conducted for The Globe and Mail and La Presse finds that seven out of 10 Canadians have heard of the demonstrations."
Those unaware of the Occupy protests were found to be as equally clueless to those who object to the Occupy protests.

Occupy Victoria (The Peoples' Assembly of Victoria)
Inspired by the rapidly growing Occupy Together (occupytogether.org/) movement across the US and Canada that has sprung up in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street people’s assembly. Victoria is joining the October 15 movement for global change (15october.net/).
This is becoming more than a protest about the failure of global capitalism - rather, this a moment where people all around the world are coming together and beginning to globalize democracy.
This is our time to come together and create a genuine people’s assembly of Vancouver Island in the spirit of true participatory democracy. Direct democracy comes from the people living in the communities in which decisions are made. Real democracy means being mutually respectful of all the diverse voices that join the conversation. Radical democracy is 'from the grassroots' or from the ground up. It is non-violent, and committed to mutual aid and collective decision-making.

Philadelphia, commonly referred to as Philly, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania and the second-most populous city in the Northeast megalopolis and Mid-Atlantic regions after New York City. Philadelphia is known for its extensive contributions to United States history, especially the American Revolution, and served as the nation's capital until 1800. It maintains contemporary influence in business and industry, culture, sports, and music. Philadelphia is the nation's sixth-most populous city with a population of 1,603,797 as of the 2020 census and is the urban core of the larger Delaware Valley (or Philadelphia metropolitan area), the nation's seventh-largest and one of the world's largest metropolitan regions consisting of 6.245 million residents in the metropolitan statistical area and 7.366 million residents in its combined statistical area.
Philadelphia was founded in 1682 by William Penn, an English Quaker and advocate of religious freedom. The city served as the capital of the Pennsylvania Colony during the British colonial era and went on to play a historic and vital role as the central meeting place for the nation's founding fathers whose plans and actions in Philadelphia ultimately inspired the American Revolution and the nation's independence following the Revolutionary War. Philadelphia hosted the First Continental Congress in 1774, preserved the Liberty Bell, and hosted the Second Continental Congress during which the founders signed the Declaration of Independence, which historian Joseph Ellis has described as "the most potent and consequential words in American history". Once the Revolutionary War commenced, the Battle of Germantown and the siege of Fort Mifflin were fought within Philadelphia's city limits. The U.S. Constitution was later ratified in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. Philadelphia remained the nation's largest city until 1790, when it was surpassed by New York City, and it served as the nation's first capital from May 10, 1775, until December 12, 1776, and on four subsequent occasions during and following the American Revolution, including from 1790 to 1800 during the construction of the new national capital of Washington, D.C.
With 18 four-year universities and colleges, Philadelphia is one of the nation's leading centers for higher education and academic research. As of 2018, the Philadelphia metropolitan area was the state's largest and nation's ninth-largest metropolitan economy with a gross metropolitan product of US$444.1 billion. The city is home to five Fortune 500 corporate headquarters as of 2022. As of 2023, metropolitan Philadelphia ranks among the top five U.S. venture capital centers, facilitated by its proximity to New York City's entrepreneurial and financial ecosystems. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange, owned by Nasdaq since 2008, is the nation's oldest stock exchange and a global leader in options trading. 30th Street Station, the city's primary rail station, is the third-busiest Amtrak hub in the nation, and the city's multimodal transport and logistics infrastructure, includes Philadelphia International Airport, and the rapidly-growing PhilaPort seaport. A migration pattern has been established from New York City to Philadelphia by residents opting for a large city with relative proximity and a lower cost of living.
Philadelphia is a national cultural center, hosting more outdoor sculptures and murals than any other city in the nation. Fairmount Park, when combined with adjacent Wissahickon Valley Park in the same watershed, is 2,052 acres (830 ha), representing one of the nation's largest and the world's 45th-largest urban park. The city is known for its arts, culture, cuisine, and colonial and Revolution-era history; in 2016, it attracted 42 million domestic tourists who spent $6.8 billion, representing $11 billion in economic impact to the city and its surrounding Pennsylvania counties.
With five professional sports teams and one of the nation's most loyal fan bases, Philadelphia is often ranked as the nation's best city for professional sports fans. The city has a culturally and philanthropically active LGBTQ+ community. Philadelphia also has played an immensely influential historic and ongoing role in the development and evolution of American music, especially R&B, soul, and rock.
Philadelphia is a city of many firsts, including the nation's first library (1731), hospital (1751), medical school (1765), national capital (1774), university (by some accounts) (1779), stock exchange (1790), zoo (1874), and business school (1881). Philadelphia contains 67 National Historic Landmarks, including Independence Hall. From the city's 17th century founding through the present, Philadelphia has been the birthplace or home to an extensive number of prominent and influential Americans. In 2021, Time magazine named Philadelphia one of the world's greatest 100 places.

With many of its structures still surviving on the isolated sea island, the property was acquired by the National Park Service, becoming a part of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve in 1991.
The first step's a doozy
"Tradition maintains that the Fambro/Arthur Home was built in the early 1840s by W.W. Fambro but parts of this home could date back to the Capital Era (1819-1826).
According to Dallas county deeds, Fambro bought the two-acre block in 1841 for $500. In 1851, he mortgaged it for $5,000, indicating that he had made major improvements to the lot. Advertisements found in old Cahawba newspapers tell us that by the 1850s Fambro was an attorney who also ran a saw mill. He supplied pine, white oak, hickory, beech, popular & cedar and filled orders for cabinet work. One can reasonably speculate that his mill supplied the lumber for this house. Curiously, however, only half of the house frame is built of sawed lumber, the other half appears to have been hand hewn, prompting some to speculate that a portion of this house may be earlier than the traditionally held 1840 date."
Maintaining a water tower this large is no trivial thing. Earlier a worker fell some 40+ feet down the center inside shaft. I have not heard a health update but he survived the fall.
I have a view of this tower from my office window. My curiosity got the best of me and I had to see what this tiara was all about. You can't tell what it is doing for 300 feet away :) The skirt must be to keep paint or sand blasting from covering the neighborhood.

The Allendale Farm boundary increase and additional documentation is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A and C for its significance in Exploration/Settlement, Agriculture, and Architecture. Allendale maintains two original c. 1800 log buildings (Resources # 1 and #2), one attached to an 1858 brick Federal I-house (Resource #1); and two outbuildings, a c. 1880 servants quarters (Resource #6) and a c. 1950 tractor shed (Resource #5) that are all presently listed on the National Register of Historic Places (Allen House, 1978 -#78002619). The boundary increase seeks to add 310.42 acres to the National Register-listed 3.9 acres in order to include the larger agricultural landscape of Allendale Farm and twelve additional contributing resources. This updated nomination seeks to expand upon each area of significance, both through additional documentation and the boundary increase. The addition of considerable acreage and resources speaks to each of these areas of significance, but particularly to the agricultural significance. The boundary increase, as well as additional documentation, extends the overall period of significance to the fifty-year marker of 1963 to include important periods of agricultural development in the late-nineteenth century and early to mid-twentieth century. The additional documentation also expands the narrative during the Civil War and Reconstruction periods as it relates to Allendale Farm. As listed on the National Register in 1978, the period of significance is 1800-1899. The boundary increase and additional documentation seeks to adjust this period of significance to c.1800 to the fifty-year marker of 1963. Two original log structures are extant and the landscape and location along the bend in the river is indicative of the original settlement of the area. The farm also exhibits intact agricultural buildings and landscape features of the mid-twentieth century and displays the farm's role in progressive farming of the twentieth century, particularly the soil conservation movement.

Maintained by the National Park Service, Kingsley Plantation on Fort George Island is home to Florida’s oldest surviving plantation house. The plantation house was built in 1798, and is surrounded by other later buildings, including 23 remaining cabins for the enslaved. As with most plantations in the 18th century, the house faces the Fort George river, rather than the rest of the plantation, because transportation by ship or boat was the easiest way to get crops to market or to bring in supplies.
The story of Kingsley Plantation dates back to the Kingdom of Great Britain’s 18th-century occupation of Florida. One of several plantations established in the region during this period, the island was ceded to Richard Hazard in 1765 for cultivating indigo. After Great Britain transferred Florida back to Spain in 1783, the Spanish government granted the island to South Carolinian John “Lighting” McQueen. McQueen developed a plantation with 300 enslaved Africans in 1793 but soon found himself in bankruptcy, turning the property over to Georgia’s John McIntosh in 1804. To escape punishment from the Spanish for leading an unsuccessful rebellion to annex Florida into the United States, McIntosh fled back to Georgia, leasing the property to Zephaniah Kingsley Jr. in 1814; Kingsley then acquired it in 1817.
Born in England in 1765, Kingsley was raised in Charleston and grew up to become a successful shipping merchant and slave trader. Considered “one of Florida’s most flamboyant slaveholders”, Kingsley purchased and married Anna Madgigine Jai, a Wolof girl from present day Senegal in 1806. He eventually grew to depend on Anna to run his plantations in his absence. After taking over McIntosh’s land at Fort George Island, they managed 60 enslaved under a task system to produce indigo, sea island cotton, okra, oranges and other vegetables at the 1,000 acre property. Sold after Kingsley’s death, the Kingsley Plantation was briefly controlled by the Freedmen’s Bureau and was under private ownership until being acquired by the State of Florida in 1955. With many of its structures still surviving on the isolated sea island, the property was acquired by the National Park Service, becoming a part of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve in 1991.

We are proud to include amongst our many customers the Jaguar Heritage Trust. Our workshop was entrusted by the Browns Lane based Jaguar Heritage Trust to undertake the engine rebuild of their treasured 1956 Mike Hawthorn D-Type. Still to this day the car is owned by Jaguar and speculated to be valued in the region of seven million pounds.
Following the completion of the engine rebuild, we were requested to prepare the car for inclusion in the 2011 Mille Miglia, a historic 1000 mile time trial race which takes place on the public high roads of Italy. We were also very privileged to have been asked to represent the Jaguar team as part of the official Jaguar Support Team on the event.

Maintaining an edge is one thing, but letting our edge in innovation dull has repercussions for the amount of food we can produce, the quality of life we live, and the potential for the next thing that will change the world. Are we keeping pace? Is Are the private sector, government, and the academy disrupting enough to innovate more or is there a stagnation that threatens continued development? Are certain parts of the world innovating better than other parts, who are the major catalyzers, and where does the intersection of technology and biology come into play?
