The Jay Heritage Center is proud to have been named to the list of 100 Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area sites in 2009 for our dynamic programming centered on themes of Architecture, Landscape, Environmental Sustainability and Freedom and Dignity.
Most recently, a group of 100 visitors- students, teachers and parents from a local school- spent the whole day at JHC for a custom designed 1 day curricula that included classes about American history, the abolition of slavery in New York, colonial music, natural sciences and much more. From learning about John Jay's role as a spymaster for George Washington during the Revolutionary War to participating in a play about the abolition of slavery in New York State, this seventh grade experienced the value of "placed based learning."
There are truly no classrooms to rival the national historic landmarks where America's natural and cultural heritage began.

To my fancy, it appeared this kitty was striving for heaven. My son likes to think so, too. My more pragmatic sister thinks it was hunting swallows.

I missed you all, flickrinos! :)
if you hate ironing then you’ll love what YAC Japan is calling ‘the fastest ironing machine in the world.’ the Japanese manufacturer presents their all-new, automated ironing machine that can press up to 240 clothes in an hour, and it’s even powered by clean solar energy.
the machine is designed for professional settings and boasts an easy-to-use Panasonic touch screen interface. to operate it, simply load a shirt onto the device then the heat plate closes to remove any wrinkles or creases through the clothes. the system is so fast as it irons two shirts simultaneously. it also folds into a smaller size, making it easier to store. with this super-efficient design, YAC japan strives to improve productivity and profitability for professionals working in the industry.

Friends from Denmark and Atlanta GA. Joined us last night for our "Harlem Jazz Bar Hop" here we are in speakeasy like environment having a blast. In addition to stopping at bars and clubs we learned the history of Harlem from Harlem native Neal Shoemaker and his portable multimedia setup. The ladies are Liddy Hoppers and big fans of swing dancing, so it was particularly gratifying to show them the original sights of the "Cotton Club" and "Savoy Ballroom" The ladies even danced a few steps at the original sight of the "Savoy Ballroom" in honor of Mr. Frankie Manning.
My objective always is to provide the most authentic and historically accurate experience possible. I've read lots about the days of prohibition America (1919 - 1933) when the sale of alcohol was illegal.
Many would come to Harlem and drink/party all night in the speakeasies of prohition era Harlem. Many of the most talented musicians would come after hours after the major Harlem/NYC clubs would close - imagine Duke Ellington walking in after playing the Cotton Club.
Not to mention the band was FANTASTIC last night.
Join Harlem Heritage Tours on our next "Harlem Jazz Bar Hop" and relive the history.
Using pioneering new technologies in Superfoods and nutrition, CFTRI has developed amazing new products which are on show at CFTRI stall at Pragati Maidan:
· Chia and Quinoa based Chocolates and Laddoos;
· Omega-3 enriched ice-cream;
· Multigrain banana bar
· Fruit juice based carbonated drinks.
New Delhi, 24th November, 2016: CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), the premier national institute for food technology is exhibiting a range of new agri-products now grown in India, called Superfoods that bring health and nutrition best practices to everyday eating and living to the common man. The exhibits by CFTRI at the Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi both impress and surprise with the range and scope of their utility and potency.
The Indian population is presently going through a nutrition transition and there is an increase in incidence of diabetes, impaired heart health and obesity while there is still rampant malnutrition in the nation.
Keeping in mind an effective solution needed to address these concerns, CSIR-CFTRI is working on bringing Superfoods to the Indian population. CFTRI works on various facets of food technology, food processing, advanced nutrition, Superfoods and allied sciences. Superfoods are foods which have superior nutrition profiles which upon regular consumption can help improve health and wellness of the consumer.
CFTRI has developed the agro-technology for growing Superfoods viz. Chia and Quinoa in Indian conditions. Chia is the richest source of omega-3 fats from a vegetarian source and Quinoa has excellent protein quality and low glycemic load carbohydrates. Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.

Strive. Grind. Work. Be consistent. if you fail, get up. Start over. Focus, be consistent. If you fail again, don't give up. Work harder. Get stronger, kick some ass. But always be humble and grateful, soon enough you'll be Iconic.
Israeli designer Ilanit Neutra strives to create eco-friendly design products by recycling inner tubes and tires into handmade, purses and wallets and other accessories like belts and sketchbook bindings. The sketchbooks above each have 82 blank white pages, of high quality paper, and range in size from 100 x 160 mm to 150 x 230 mm. All are bound with recycled truck tires. I love how Neutra manages to combine elements of the industrial, aesthetic and textural in her work. And you can rest assured that your deepest doodled secrets are safe in these durable rubber covers. Read more about Israeli eco-friendly design at www.designistdream.com

The Scottish Tractor Pullers Club
The Scottish Tractor Pullers Club (STPC) was formed in 1985 and consists today of around 25 members who all strive to put on the very best tractor pulling events in Scotland. The STPC are the only club in the United Kingdom to own and operate a fully licensed ETPC sledge, with all relevant safety features, as well as being the only club in Scotland to follow best practice safety rules. The STPC, together with the Midlands Tractor Pullers Club (MTPC) and the North West Tractor Pullers Club (NWTPC) are affiliated to the British Tractor Pullers Association (BTPA) who, along with a number of other European tractor pulling clubs, make up the European Tractor Pullers Committee (ETPC). The ETPC defines all safety and performance rules for all member countries, such as tractor classes and sledge rules. This enables tractors from all over Europe to pull together against each other in different countries. Although the STPC hold their own points championships, many Scottish Tractors compete in the BTPA championships alongside teams from the MTPC and the NWTPC. BTPA championship winners then have the option of travelling to the ETPC's European Championships, a two day event held in a different ETPC member country each year, for the chance to become a European Champion!!!

With each and every post, we strive here at Creative Tempest to bring you only the best artists from around the world. This post comes to you all the way from NYC, New York, with our artist being none other than Joe Jusko. What makes this artist so special is that it’s a safe assumption to say that the majority of people alive today have seen his artwork! His work includes paintings and illustrations for characters such as Hawk Man, The Green Lantern, Conan the Barbarian, The Punisher, Lara Croft, and Captain America just to name a few. Producing his first cover at the age of 17 for Heavy Metal Magazine in 1977, Joe Jusko is a comic book artist who has worked for all the major comic book companies including Marvel, DC, Crusade, Innovation, Harris, Wildstorm, Top Cow, and Byron Preiss. Graduating that year as well from the New York High School of Art & Design (the only high school in the country that offers a curriculum geared towards commercial art) he received the DC Comics Award of Excellence in Cartooning. In 2007 Joe Jusko was inducted into the prestigious Society of Illustrators and received the Certificate of Merit from them for his more recent work in ‘Tomb Raider’ (based off the popular PlayStation videogame). We’re happy to post such talent and vision here on Creative Tempest and hope you will share the same appreciation for great artwork that we do. Find out more at www.creativetempest.com

I attended BA Stores Tractor Pulling Event at Broomhill Farm today Sunday 16th September 2018, what a great day, I captured as many of the Tractors taking part in the event , posting on my Flickr to archive the day .
The Scottish Tractor Pullers Club (STPC) was formed in 1985 and consists today of around 40 members who all strive to put on the very best tractor pulling events in Scotland. The STPC are the only club in the United Kingdom to own and operate a fully licensed ETPC sledge, complete with all relevant safety features. The STPC, together with the Cumbrian Tractor Pulling Club (CTPC), Midlands Tractor Pullers Club (MTPC) and the North West Tractor Pullers Club (NWTPC) are affiliated to the British Tractor Pullers Association (BTPA) who, along with a number of other European tractor pulling clubs, make up the European Tractor Pullers Committee (ETPC).
The ETPC defines all safety and performance rules for all member countries, such as tractor classes and sledge rules.

BTPA championship winners then have the option of travelling to the ETPC's European Championships, a two day event held in a different ETPC member country each year, for the chance to become a European Champion! The STPC are available to hire either as a stand alone event or as part of a larger agricultural show, ideal if you are looking for that extra attraction for your event.
Truck and Tractor pulling, also known as power pulling, is a motorsport competition, popular in the United States, Canada, Europe (especially in the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Germany), Australia and Brazil, and New Zealand which requires modified tractors to pull a heavy sled along a 35 foot wide, 330 foot long track, with the winner being the tractor that pulls the sled the farthest. The sport is known as the world's most powerful motorsport, due to the multi-engined modified tractor pullers.
All tractors in their respective classes pull a set weight in the sled. When a tractor gets to the end of the 100 metre track, this is known as a "full pull". When more than one tractor completes the course, more weight is added to the sled, and those competitors that moved past 300 feet will compete in a pull-off; the winner is the one who can pull the sled the farthest.
The sled is known as a weight transfer sled. This means that as it is pulled down the track, the weight is transferred (linked with gears to the sled’s wheels) from over the rear axles and towards the front of the sled. In front of the rear wheels, there is a "pan". This is essentially a metal plate and as the weight moves over this the resistance builds. The farther the tractor pulls the sled, the more difficult it gets.
The most powerful tractors, such as those in the 4.5 modified class in Europe, can produce over 10,000 horsepower.
One should strive to achieve, not sit in bitter regret.

Born in Poland, in 1975, Tomasz has his bachelor’s degree in computer graphics in print and advertising, certified as an Adobe expert, and is currently working as a digital artist and creative consultant for various prestigious advertising agencies in LA. Tomasz has an incredibly impressive work resume that includes work in literally hundreds of movies, video games, TV shows, and television networks. What we love about the work of Tomasz Opasinski is how original and unique all his designs are. Looking at his work makes us ponder the depth and complexity of his mind, clearly there must be countless algorithms and innumerable image configurations taking place that all sum up to one thing: design genius! This is why his work is put on display for the entire world to see. And for this we’re happy to post such creative talent and vision here on Creative Tempest and hope you will share the same appreciation for great artwork that we do.
