Inventor Nikola Tesla reads in his remote Colorado Springs laboratory in July 1900 next to a magnifying transmitter that generates millions of volts of electricity. While far too dangerous to sit near—the image is actually a double exposure—his gigantic Tesla coil created the first human-made lightning.

Embracing Black Excellence: A Review of Disney’s “Iwaju”

I highly recommend “Iwaju” to anyone seeking a kind of wow!! A sense of love, and a reminder that we can all make a difference, regardless of our background.

In a world where representation matters, Disney’s “Iwaju” shines as a beacon of black excellence and empowerment. This groundbreaking series, with its all-black cast and setting, not only entertains but also inspires and uplifts. “Iwaju,” meaning “The Future” in Yoruba, is a testament to the intelligence, resilience, and creativity of black people. Set in a futuristic world, the series showcases…

July 22nd 1915 saw the death of Sir Sandford Fleming.

Fleming, an engineer and inventor responsible for a variety of innovations was born in Kircaldy on 7th January 1827.

When it comes to inventions or innovations if they stand the test of time you know how important they are, in this case, time being the operative word!

Young Fleming emigrated to Canada in 1845 at the age of seventeen. He first worked as a surveyor and later became a railway engineer for the Canadian Pacific Railway. Sandford Fleming advocated the adoption of a standard time or mean time, as well as hourly variations from that according to established time zones.

Fleming’s system, still in use today, established Greenwich, England (at 0 degrees longitude) as the standard time, and divides the world into 24 time zones, each a fixed time from the mean time. Fleming was inspired to create the standard time system after he missed a train in Ireland due to confusion over the time of departure

Before Fleming’s time revolution, time of day was a local matter, and most cities and towns used some form of local solar time, maintained by some well-known clock (for example, on a church steeple or in a jeweller’s window).

Although slow to be accepted, by 1929 all of the major countries of the world had accepted time zones.This man was quite extraordinary, not happy with his tinkering with time he surveyed for the first railroad route across Canada hand was head engineer for most of the Intercolonial Railway and the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Bizarrely he also invented an early in-line skate in 1850, a year later he designed the first Canadian postage stamp. The three-penny stamp issued in 1851 had a beaver on it (the national animal of Canada).

The town of Fleming, Saskatchewan (located on the Canadian Pacific Railway, and which I can say without starting to stutter.) was named in his honour in 1882, he also has many schools and buildings named in his honour throughout Canada, not bad for a Fifer eh and certainly someone we can honour on Scottish & Proud.

Ever since I was a child, I have always been dreaming of becoming a farmer or owning a farm in the future. Mainly because, I was surrounded by a family of farmers, not just that but farming is the primary source of income and farming provides almost all of our needs, especially the people living here in Bukidnon. That is why I am very pleased to know that the product that we came up, was born out of the farmer’s disheartening problem.

As we embark on our second week of interview, I, together with my groupmates went to College Park Musuan Maramag, Bukidnon. We interviewed farm owners within the area, as well as those students whose parents are farmers. From the respondents that I have interviewed, most of them reached the same answers. The respondents pointed out that the location of their rice farm is far from the irrigation, the other pointed out that it is hard to maintain the growth of the plant because of the lack amount of water within their area; the collective effort that they exert in attending their farms 24\7 just to end up failing because their plants did not get the amount of nutrients needed because of soil erosion, and the unpredictable weather that our country has. With this together with my groupmates came up with a product that would certainly help our hardworking farmers.

An automated Soil Moisturizer could estimate the amount of water in the soil, it could also properly distribute the amount of water during heat & reduced water consumption during rainy days. The Soil Moisturizer enables to manage irrigation Increased crop yields and help farmers adapt to changes in field conditions.

Our hypothesis was born out of their problems, “if there is an automated soil moisturizer, farmers and gardeners will have a convenient and prosperous harvest”. Because indeed, farming is profession of hope.

Song Rhythm Tracks - Users' Testimonials

We canvassed some opinions from social media. It is always interesting to see how others view Song Rhythm Tracks. See what you think.

No.1 for Musician's Usability

Ethan - Kyoto, Japan. Sax player. Plays pop, rock, blues, jazz, bop, ballads, everything really

Ethan Algan

IMMEDIATE MUSICIAN'S USABILITY. What's different about this App is that it makes it feasible for the average guy, with very little effort, to play their songs to very engaging arranged rhythm tracks. I've tried lots of them and I haven't come across any other app that comes close to that. This app combines a musician's player, a setlist manager and an arranger in one app. It's really quick to select arrangements and then you can put them into setlists and keep changing and reordering the lists as your set evolves. Now I just grab my sax' and my mobile phone and either play a setlist or quickly search and find tracks as I go through my books of lead sheets. If I don't have a track for a tune, a minute later I will have and will probably be playing it. For me, there's nothing else that has this sort of immediate musician's usability.

Maverick and a True Innovator for the practical musician

Sandra - Perth, Australia. Plays guitar. Likes folk music.

Sandra Sutton

TRUE INNOVATION. What can I say that hasn't already been said? Only perhaps that this App is a true innovator. A maverick you might say. It seems to do everything differently. It wasn't what I was expecting but now everything else I've tried seems redundant. What do you really want to do? To play with flashing lights - pretending to be hitting real drums? Or to get an MP3 file which is a professional quality backing track to a song you are playing? That, I think, is the innovation. That's what you get here. It's like a cross between the 'Music' App and a musician's backing-track service. You select the track you want and the Alive Drumming servers get you it. Then you have much more musician-friendly setlists and player than you get with the 'Music' App. Playing becomes a real joy instead of struggle. It's what all of us musicians want. We want to play our instruments and have great rhythmic backing with a minimum of fuss and bother. That's what this App delivers. A true innovation for the musician.

Drum Machines don't work end-to-end. They're not performance-ready

Eloa - Brazil. Guitar, sings. Loves conga, timbales, bongos and claves. Plays and sings bossa nova, jazz samba, merengue, lambada

Eloa Andes

LOVE THIS APP!! Never seen anything like it. Drum machines don't cut it, even ones with some good sounding rhythms. Nothing else works well end-to-end in providing rhythmic backing tracks to your song list. The closest thing I've seen to this App are those apps that have the full sheet music, backing tracks and are song based. You buy the sheet-music and backing music for a song. They are OK, a bit expensive and don't always have your song, or the arrangement of your song, that you'd like to use. They can be a bit clunky as well and the rhythms tend not to be very good by themselves. This App is so much better for me because (i) the rhythms are fantastic, (ii) it doesn't matter if they don't have your song, you can arrange it yourself, simply, and (iii) the tracks start cheap and get cheaper the more you use the App. How come? I've found I often use the same rhythms and song forms. When I select exactly the same combination for a new song the App recognises it has that already and doesn't download it again. It's a different track name in the App with a different title but the App must know it can use the same audio file. Smart. It is also performance-ready as far as the setlists and player go. So I just use this one App and it's fast and reliable for me during a performance. Totally love this app.

A unique arranger provides a lot of rhythmic support for little cost

Hilly - Tokyo for now. Plays guitar and piano and sings. Likes latin and classic rock and pop

Hilly Edding

HUNDREDS OF GREAT RHYTHMS. I find this app pretty unique in its approach to arranging. It's not the most comprehensive arranger available but it's unique in its simplicity. It really does allow for some pretty easy ways to arrange a track from simply matching on the track title to selecting a well-known song form. You can even enter song forms using "stick notation" (see their website or the inbuilt help screens). You then get an arrangement based on the sectional structure of the song with options for intros and endings as well. This works surprisingly well providing a track that really outlines the sections of the song including bridges and middle choruses as well. That's a lot of rhythm support for very little effort and cost. They sound very good as well. For a lot of tunes, that's all you need but for some tunes, you might also want drum breaks or different styles of drumming throughout the song. That's not what Song Rhythm Tracks does - not yet anyway. I've heard they are working on introducing breaks right now (now delivered in release 3.0). Still, there's never been a simpler or faster drum rhythm arranger as this and the player and setlists make it more usable than anything else. I love the hundreds of great rhythms.

Professional quality results, a simple approach with portable convenience

Ron - LA, USA. Plays guitar, mouth organ, piano and drums. Likes country, rock, jazz and blues

Ron Upton

PROFESSIONAL AND USABLE. This App is incredible. I totally underestimated how good it is. The quality of the backing tracks is truly professional - professional, talented drumming, professional audio, professional arrangements. Coupled with that, I've never had an app like this before where it works so well keeping all the tracks in a table and being able to organise them into playlists. You can even play the entire list of tracks with one keypress. Incredible. I still can't get over that there isn't anything else left to do. It just works great! There are 4 included "factory" tracks that are OK. The Jazz and Blues Sampler app has 23 decent tunes included. These are good to evaluate the app but the real power comes from using it to arrange your own songs/tracks. There's nothing simpler than this. You won't believe it. I've created some of my own arrangements with 10+ choruses which is how our group plays. I carry it around with me on my iPhone and have it on an old iPad as well, which is good for our jamming. Still works on the old iPad. No problem with speed. Just start with the [ Jazz and Blues Sampler ] app and then add any tracks you want later. There are 1000s of rhythms to choose from - good ones too. There is nothing else out there anything like this App - it's nothing like the silly MIDI *dumb* machines. It's real quality, professional, and usable. Recommended.

An understated wonder is a wolf in sheep's clothing with ultimate usability

Wendy - Florence, Italy. Plays guitar, and clarinet. Likes classical music and classic popular, folk, latin, jazz and blues, particularly on the clarinet!

Wendy Nonereally

WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING. My experience is similar to the other poster. This App, at first glance, seems bland and uninspiring, but it is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's the very essence of UNDERSTATEMENT - like Braun or B&O. No flashing lights. No gimmicks. Just GREAT DESIGN and a TOTAL RETHINK as regards USABILITY. The backing tracks are the best imaginable and ready in no time at all. They really do sound like a drummer is playing the ACTUAL SONG. I don't know how they achieve that without knowing everything about the song. It's uncanny.

because they take up so much of your time and don't sound that inspirational anyway. It's not like that with these Song Rhythm Tracks. 30 secs tops and they sound just great. No duds. The organisation and playing of tracks aren't mentioned much but it's brilliant and so understated. You don't need to use another player. The inbuilt player is a 'musicians' player - big buttons, quality speed variation which persists to your next play. Here's another big thing that isn't mentioned very much. You always can see the arrangement on the screen, so you know what you will be playing along to. And it's in musician's language which is just what you want. Great. Most of my tracks I haven't had to arrange as I've found one using the inbuilt search feature. I've arranged a couple though and it was so easy. There really isn't anything else like this. Super simply arranging. Great sound. Total Understatement. I just love it - even on my iPod Touch! I play a lot of Latin Rhythms and they have them all. And they sound so authentic. I totally recommend this App to people who care about music and sound and aren't looking for a flashing-lights-toy, but rather something that will satisfy for the rest of your life. Real Quality is so rare, but this is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

A musician's arranger that talks your language

Ele' - Melbourne, Australia. Plays piano. Like jazz, blues and latin.

Ele' P

A MUSICIAN'S ARRANGER - That's what I call this App. Why? Because the problem with everything else I've seen is that we musician's use one language when we speak of our arrangements and the App always speaks another language. When you sit down with your buddy musos and someone calls a tune, what do you say? You might say let's play this or that tune, and if you've all played it together before everyone will know how it is arranged. But if it is not a tune you've all played together before, what then? I expect the leader will call the tempo to be used - medium-fast say and perhaps the feel also - Bossa or Reggae or whatever and whether there'll be an intro or you go straight in from the top. You might agree on the number of choruses then as well and perhaps the order of solos as well. Well, it is that sort of language you want from your backing tracks as well. You want to know if there's an intro and if so how long it is. You want to know the number of choruses, so you decide on the solos etc. and you'll want to know about the tempo and the rhythmic style. That's the sort of information you get with this App and it's how you 'arrange' your tracks as well - in musician's language - not in flashing lights and weird controls - just plain English musician's arrangement language. As you scroll through the list of tracks, each track has its arrangement spelt out like that, for example - 8-bars intro, 6 choruses of 16-bar tune with a 4-bar ending using this rhythm at that tempo. That makes sense to me and other musicians and is the sort of language that would be used between us as we play together. That's why I call this App a 'musicians' arranger.

Song Rhythm Tracks

Song Rhythm Tracks are a new type of backing track composed entirely of rhythmic backing (no melody or harmony) arranged to the musical form of the song — it’s “songform”. These tracks are complete performances like one gets from a professional drummer. They have a count-in, introduction section, choruses and characteristic endings, framed by fills showing where sections start and end. Even musical bridges and middle choruses have higher intensity where appropriate to the style. Things are kept simple by doing away with the traditional arranger’s interface. One can select a track in under 30 seconds - under 15 seconds once one gets the hang of it.

The App’s player has tempo adjustment and a facility to sequence the tracks for your gig or jam session. It is for musicians of all abilities. New musicians use the App to provide an accompaniment to songs. They get a rhythm that is sympathetic so they learn to keep time, get into the groove and internalise the song’s musical structure – All this while enjoying engaging and inspiring rhythms. Gigging musicians catalogue their backing into setlists and use it to guide performance. Having quality rhythmic backing, with a setlist facility and a musician’s player, all in the one App is so convenient one finds oneself using this rhythmic backing more and more.

Song Rhythm Tracks are truly high-quality rhythmic backing that is convenient to select and play. You are not going to get tired of these backing tracks. You are not going to have to sequence anything. You will find that the player and setlist’s user interface encourages continued use. You will get to appreciate the form of your songs more and you might include these tracks into your own single and album releases. Don’t be put off by experiences with other mobile drumming Apps. Song Rhythm Tracks are something different.

Whether you are learning a new tune, jamming, gigging or cutting your latest album, this Song Rhythm Tracks provides a solution.

On August 2nd 1922 Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, died.

Bell, best known as the inventor of the telephone, also made other significant contributions to society during his extraordinary life. He created other useful tools and devices, he made a lifelong commitment to deaf education, and he helped fund some of the most influential periodicals of the time just as they were getting off the ground.

But I've covered most of that in previous posts, so I have decided to delve into his visions and his philanthropy. Bell is overshadowed by his fellow Scot Andrew Carnegie in the philanthropist work, and rightly so, however we shouldn't overlook his own endeavours.

Here are a few quotes from Alexander that resonate today.

“There is no reason why we should not use the roofs of our houses to install solar apparatus to catch and store heat received from the sun.” 1914

“It will not be long until a man can take dinner in New York and breakfast the next morning in Liverpool.” 1896

“The day will come when the man at the telephone will be able to see the distant person to whom he is speaking.” 1906

“The unchecked burning of fossil fuels would have a sort of greenhouse effect…” 1917.

Most of these the work the following work primarily in North America, but we have to remember he lived there the majority of his life.

A number of Foundations and organisations that are legacies to Alexander Graham Bell include he Alexander & Mabel Bell Legacy Foundation, dedicated to continuing the Bells' scientific and humanitarian interests and spirit of innovation.

Alexander Graham Bell Foundation, which, through advocacy, education, research, and financial aid, AG helps to ensure that every child and adult with hearing loss has the opportunity to listen, talk, and thrive.

Alexander Graham Bell founded Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in 1880, it helps families, health care providers, and education professionals understand childhood hearing loss and the importance of early diagnosis and intervention.

Bell served as a citizen member of the Smithsonian Board of Regents, provided seed money for the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, donated collections to the National Museum, and arranged for the move of James Smithson's remains from Genoa, Italy, to the Smithsonian Institution in 1904.

Bell was also one of the founders of National Geographic, which to this day has conservationists, philanthropists, young activists, scientists fighting environment and Conservation ·issues.

In Elgin, Moray we have The Alexander Graham Bell Centre for Digital Health, a research, education and business hub, it is part of The University of Highlands and Islands

Over his lifetime, Bell wrote nearly a thousand pages of essays about education of the deaf. He spoke at innumerable conferences and testified before committees, created and funded a national organization for teachers of the deaf.

Alexander Graham Bell died of complications arising from diabetes on this day 1922, at his private estate in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, at age 75. His last view of the land he had inhabited was by moonlight on his mountain estate at 2:00 a.m. While tending to him, Mabel, his wife, whispered, "Don't leave me." By way of reply, Bell signed "no…", lost consciousness, and died shortly after.

On learning of Bell's death, the Canadian Prime Minister, Mackenzie King, cabled Mrs. Bell, saying:

My colleagues in the Government join with me in expressing to you our sense of the world's loss in the death of your distinguished husband. It will ever be a source of pride to our country that the great invention, with which his name is immortally associated, is a part of its history. On the behalf of the citizens of Canada, may I extend to you an expression of our combined gratitude and sympathy.

Bell's coffin, as seen in the third pic, was constructed of Beinn Bhreagh pine by his laboratory staff, lined with the same red silk fabric used in his tetrahedral kite experiments. To help celebrate his life, his wife asked guests not to wear black (the traditional funeral color) while attending his service, during which soloist Jean MacDonald sang a verse of Robert Louis Stevenson's "Requiem":

Under a wide and starry sky, Dig the grave and let me lie. Glad did I live and gladly die And I laid me down with a will.

Upon the conclusion of Bell's funeral, for one minute at 6:25 p.m. Eastern Time, "every phone on the continent of North America was silenced in honor of the man who had given to mankind the means for direct communication at a distance". Alexander Graham Bell was buried atop Beinn Bhreagh mountain, on his estate where he had resided increasingly for the last 35 years of his life, overlooking Bras d'Or Lake.[ He was survived by his wife Mabel, his two daughters, Elsie May and Marian, and nine of his grandchildren.
