Sophie & I ran a 3-day wearable technology bootcamp using LilyPad Arduino for 11-13 year-olds at Aberystwyth for www.Technocamps.com - a project led by Swansea University in partnership with the Universities of Bangor, Aberystwyth and Glamorgan that inspires young people aged 11-19 to attend technology workshops on a range of computing-based topics.
Newspaper is more likely to be seen shredded as packing material than to be read. And the once mighty candle has become a romantic symbol rather than a tool for working in the wee small hours of the night. Everything we touch must be changed and evolved and eventually discarded. Does anything remain unchanged? If there is anything that is constant, it must be the only truth.

Innovation@Work with host, Pitney Bowes
A group of exciting smaller firms met with Pitney Bowes Senior Team at our latest Innovation@Work day
One of the most exciting opportunities for a small firm is to find out what a global technology giant really thinks about them. 19 firms from Connecticut and around the country had that opportunity two weeks ago at Pitney Bowes’s Stamford world HQ.
Based on an RFP created by Pitney Bowes’s innovation leadership team that was distributed to tech Councils in the U.S. and Canada who are member of TECNA, a trade association of tech councils currently run by CTC’s Matthew Nemerson, some twenty firms were selected by Pitney Bowes senior management to spend the day in Stamford, present, and talk to the PB staff.
Some of the firms will be called back for future meetings and the hope is that contracts, acquisitions and shared technology projects may all flow from the efforts.
The next Innovation@Work meeting will be planned for the Spring.

Medical imaging is a vital component of the health care system. As a medical imaging professional, the radiologic technologist (or radiographer) employs x-rays and other forms of energy to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of illness and injury. Our four-year program leads to a certificate of completion in Radiologic Technology and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health Science. Students also may choose to specialize in Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), or Ultrasound (US) .

Wafa Garbout – VoTek: Wafa is a co-founder of VoTek, an online platform dedicated to promoting participatory democracy in Tunisia. VoTek aims to enable Tunisian citizens to report a problem or make a demand to the municipality they live in. Wafa explains that VoTek allows “users to pull up the map of Tunisia and choose which governorate and area they live in. If they think a certain area needs a public park for example, they can suggest or report that.” After enough votes, the issue will be raised to the municipality to look into it. Participatory democracy became enshrined in the new Tunisian constitution after the Revolution ensuring citizens are included in the decision-making process.
Wafa believes the Tomorrow’s Leaders program’s emphasis on engaging student in extra-curricular activities helped her a great deal in gaining the skills she needed to turn her idea into an action for positive impact in her community. The program which encourages civic engagement and leadership development through activities that go beyond the traditional classroom requires each student to present a final capstone project. Wafa and her team started working on VoTek during a hackathon “Hack4Democracy” with the International Foundation for Electoral Systems IFES Tunisia, and then developed it more to become her idea for the capstone project that won the second place. It was through one of the courses required by the program “Leadership in the Public and Private Sector” that Wafa refined the concept. Wafa affirms that “The course was great for developing my project management skills and helping me write a budget.” In line with her dedication to establishing participatory democracy in Tunisia, Wafa worked over the past summer with the Delegation of the European Union to Tunisia providing electoral and political analyses.
This month's TC Week Session's at The Learning Village was on The Wellth Generation presented by Tech Cocktail, Health Tech Women. The focus was to discuss and share ideas on how to elevate the overall wellness experience for patients, thereby transforming healthcare to “wellthcare”.
We had a strong group of women speak, these speakers included: Jessica Grossman, Start-Up CEO and Board Members Only
AMY LI, Founder of Dance4Healing
Monisha Perkash, CEO & Co-founder at Lumo BodyTech
Evonne Heyning, CoFounder and Director, EDDEFY

Saudi TV Channel rebrand for Turquoise
Rushes created 3 x 45 second idents to launch the new look Channel One for Saudi TV. The idents comprise a blend of a vision for the country’s future whilst integrating their national culture and heritage.
The design embraces religious sensitivities and shows the national television network’s commitment to change Andy Hargreaves, 3D Supervisor on the project attended the shoot in Dubai.
Substantial pre-vis and development work assisted the creative team to realise their vision of a new Saudi Arabia. Matt Lawrence, MGFX Artist at Rushes, created animated floor textures, backgrounds and interface animations for all three idents which were integrated into the 3D renders.
Matt helped with final composites due to the tight turnaround in After Effects comping several shots on the technology sequence.

This diagram from CMS sales lit. shows what was the cutting edge of underground petrol tank gauging thirty-five years ago. The console was designed to be seen but normally resided on the floor under the counter or in a store room in the kiosk. Each tank was then connected via in individual barrier box, each one the size of a tin loaf. The cable was about 20mm diameter, screened and with three co-axial cores and connected to junction box in the tank pit. The probe was 3" in diameter so required a special large entry in the tank lid.
CMS was a division of Smiths Industries and was put up for sale in the mid 70s. My boss looked at it and thought it over priced. A few months later we were asked to take the business off their hands, so it ended up with a dip-rod manufacturer in Market Harborough.
The system was not reliable at coming up with accurate readings, and the engineers blamed tank volumetric calibration. As a tank calibration specialist I was affronted an quickly proved the system was to blame and so began a new chapter for me in tank gauging development

As part of the library's 50th anniversary open house a technology showcase was setup to display the evolution of talking book players in the NLS program. This picture shows an evolution of talking book players from right to left starting with first wooden phonograph record player up to the new advance digital talking book player. In the background is a costume version of the C-1 player that the library uses for public demonstrations.
