Streamyx Business: A Town That's Powered By Nuts

Many people think Politicians are nuts and the thought of having a town officially powered by nuts is unacceptable or unrealistic.

But as the issue of Nuclear Power hots?up, its interesting to look around and see what other potential resources are being used as Fuel to generate electricity. Gympie has instigated a power source for the town fuelled by the cast-of shells from the locally grown Macadamia Nuts that grow prolifically in the area.

Gympie is a Queensland town of 60,000 people and is located in Australia 160 kms north of Brisbane on the Mary River. Gympie is the gateway to the Cooloola Region which encompasses the well-known Fraser Island. It is a fertile area that grows Macadamia Nuts among a wide variety of other fruits, vegetables and timber. Gympie had a disposal problem with the shells from the Nuts after processing and packaging was completed. For many years these shells took up land-fill rather than being left in big heaps to become an eye sore. Gympie is a lot of things, including a pretty and a tidy town. It appears that it also produces innovative thinkers.

Or perhaps that is another product of the times we live in? What about the use of Biodiesel to fuel our cars? It is capable of fuelling more than our cars as we could all have small, quiet, electricity generators built into our homes. If we also put on gutters, water tanks, and solar panels and built our homes to our environments rather than to the finance companys loan limit, we would not have such a high cost of living. Biodiesel is a fuel source that is grown around the world and even reduces greenhouse gas. It is clean and green ?literally! What do you think about the use of Nuclear power stations?

I Endeavour to help construction contractors with their marketing and someone among them will no doubt have to contract to do the work to build these nuclear power plants. My concern is, how safe are they really? Perhaps Gympie is the only town that really is sane because it is powered by nuts.

With over 85,000 apps on Apple's App Store alone, the task to find apps tailored to your needs and likes is daunting. Who wants to sift through that? Sidebar is hoping to help smartphone users with the process of finding the perfect apps for their phones. An app in itself, Sidebar will ask you a series of demographic questions (gender, age, location) and a series of questions to determine your interests and content preferences (i.e. what type of news do you prefer, do you play online games, what types of outdoor activities are you interested in). Once Sidebar figures out a rough sketch of who you are, the app will begin to recommend mobile content to you.Sidebar will recommend daily content to you within its app, including videos, games, music, apps, ringtones, podcasts, promotions, news articles. The app will load no more than 12 content recommendations per day, which will last for 24 hours until the next batch of recs are sent to you. Recommendations include a short synopsis of the app or content and a screenshot or image. If you like the rec, you can save it and and download or access it for later.
