TTG, NDA GROUP, AG-SCI & WHAT GREG MUIR’S TEAM COULD DEVELOP NEXT FOR NZ FARMERS BEST INDUSTRY INTERESTS & ENDEAVORS
Tru-Test Group, that fuses electronics for the agi-sci industry purchased Dairy Technology Services from NDA Group.
The agri-tech group finished 16th on the TIN100 survey of companies set up to improve technology and research. TTG splashed $73m for the acquisition.
What’s needed now is for a company like TTG, to develop the same thing with a banking software system invention, that can then track ‘white gold’ (aka dried dairy product with the water then extracted) around the world to see if NZ farmers are achieving the best brand leverage from dairy leaving the farm gate to distribution world wide.

INNOVATION, THE MATAURANGA WE SEE
an innovative nation: inspired by Papatuanku and friends,
we reproduce the matauranga we see.
Innovation links – 10:
1. matauranga -see the world as a taniko pattern
2. mixologists see the world in contrasted juxtapositions
3. wealth creation recipe 2013+… where there is silicon re-imagine in graphene
4. “distillery moderation” + quality = a new industry of markets + distribution

CIRCADIAN RHYTHM SYSTEM SKYLINE GARDEN SALAD
On the twelfth wing platform of the secured rooftop garden circle, David strolled through the aisle between the rows of lush bountiful green taking what he needed. He altered the the nutrient blends that feed into the garden's atmos-derived mist jets once a week, according to his body's shifting eruthrocyte and leukocytes needs. Mesculin, garlic chives and baby kamo kamo took his fancy today. The sky's light in the setting sun calmed the circadian rhythm system of the circus called his nerves from the day. (more…)

INTEREST IN SCIENCE ON THE UP & THE RISE OF SCIENCE GEEK BIOHACKING
The FBI has agents who have microbiology backgrounds. Their expertise is weapons of mass destruction. More recently though, the same scientists examine the hobby that has sprung up of at home scientists (amateur) who experiment with with genes, proteins and bacteria. Amateur geneticists, biopunks or outlaw biologists. They love to call themselves biohackers. Instead of hacking computer codes, they tinker with DNA, the code of life.
In a way they do what the banking community did during the global financial crises. Economies over-printed money (or clocked up debt), then some of these nations set about hacking other nations economies. Really! That did happen. So, it’s not difficult to see why science is on the rise.
Unfotunately though some of the experiments can be dangerous, as they are not conducted in labs with adequate safety, or they lack ethics, hence a need for the FBI to hire top scientists to look into it. So to keep track of science progress, the FBI has set up the Biological Countermeasures Unit just to stay on top of the DIYbio movement. (more…)
SASHIMI JUNGLE FRIDAY NIGHT
Roaring in to the cold basement concrete womb of his Hong Kong home, David parked his bike between the secured tanks of the apartment-complex's ika farm. Waving his thumb across the tank's sensor, masterfully with net he scooped dinner into a fish pack on the way to the elevator. A sashimi friday night it was.* (more…)
SCIENCE WORDS – EDUCATOR OCEAN MERCIER 2013

Maori world views within the scientific community are important and celebrated the people and ideas delivering an edge in the world of science. Maori have always been scientists and continue to be scientists. Our brand of science maybe a little different from Western science but, nonetheless, it allowed us to work in the world, to be in the world, to live in the world, to survive in the world for generations.

OTHER WORLDLY – THE SEALED FRAGRANCE LINES
“Other Worldly: the sealed fragrance range,” is an idea buzzing through the brain.
It’s nice to have a creative brain. Sometimes…
with my Iwi entrepreneur cap on then: the no.1 issue though is: do you distill the range from Lake Vostok’s ice shelf H20, sealed off from light or air for at least 14 million years, or do you create the line sourced of H2O from elsewhere? (more…)

–a line from a novel set in the future.
Background research:
honeycombe structured graphene: the material – described as being far stronger than diamond, about 100 times stronger than steel; much more conductive than copper and as flexible as rubber – is the super material that could make the world more energy efficient in technological design.
It is also touted as a possible replacement for silicon in electronics. About 1% of graphene mixed into plastics could make them conductive. Companies have slimmed down so they can no longer afford top research institutes. Samsung have a few graphene patents registered and in development.
Samsung has an institute. The UK whose early science with Russian born scientists helped discover graphene are hoping to do build an institute too. (more…)

EARTHQUAKES CAUSES, FREQUENCIES, ACCURATE TRACKING SYSTEMS FOR CITY PLANNERS & INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS GUIDANCE
Earthquakes can sink an economy, quicker than the titanic.
Citizens of New Zealand want to know more of how earthquakes are caused, where and why. You can never be too prepared. The NZH has a tale on that with that vein of thought. Built up cities lose the most, when earthquakes hit a region as infrastructure investment is intensified in cities. (more…)
ZHO ZHO VINO ROUGE ADVANCEMENTS – HEART HEALTH CONVIVIAL CONSERVATION
NZ scientists may develop a new form of vitner’s luck in wine making practices:
Science news: A Chinese scientist claims they have discovered an anti-ageing formula called resveratrol.
“Lamin A and SIRTI would be boosted with resveratrol, a compound found in the skin of red grapes and other fruits which has been touted by some scientists and companies as a way to slow aging or remain healthy as people get older… as resveratrol is found in red wine that reduces heart disease and ageing… the amount of resveratrol in red wine is very low [to deter ageing in a capacity that it could do].”
–Zhou Zhongjun, University of Hong Kong.
NZ needs to infuse resveratrol in vitner’s practices…

ECONOMIC THEATRE – EFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE CREATIVE PLAY IN THE HOUSE THAT BOND BUILT
Creative people play every day in productive ways. It’s how they [we] explore, invent the new and dream up the new, so that entrepreneurs can then get things done.
As we have a purpose to be productive, creative play [and an economy is a creative play on a global stage of sorts] becomes increasingly productive with how citizens choose to use leisure time. Creative people use leisure time productively. It is their intellectual down-to-earth DNA.
A focus to build, can lead to a nation of innovative, useful, fun, playful inventors building the efficient infrastructure we need that makes a people sustainably wealthy over time, due to good building designs of all kinds that are both fun and smart.
An economist writes a creative story. They write: When the cat’s away, the mice will play. Right now, New Zealanders are the mice and the financial market is the cat… NZ’s net foreign liabilities are still about 70 per cent of gross domestic product [too high for comfort]. (more…)
