LIFT09 France: Palais du Pharo This is where the French version of LIFT09 will be going down from the 18th to the 20th of June. Looks like an amazing venue for a conference. The theme will be 'Hands on Future': "creating objects that are not just "smart" and connected, but also customizable, hackable, transformable, fully recyclable. It is about decentralized manufacturing and home fabrication. Building a hands-on future also means to reconnect global environmental challenges with growth as well as with human desire, pleasure, beauty and fun. Innovation is everywhere, emerging from users as well as entrepreneurs, researchers or activists..." lift09, conference, venue, pharo, june, summer 43.2942545234657 5.35822749137878 0 http://www.tagcrumbs.com/p/MzYyYmY 2009-04-25T12:51:23+02:00 2009-06-29T18:12:22+02:00 false Marseille 2995469 43.3 5.4 Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur 2985244 44.0 6.0 France 3017382 46.0 2.0

One of the projects is NoPark, “no parking zones” — mostly those associated fire hydrant placement — turned into zones for low growth mosses and grasses. These micro engineered green spaces prevent storm water run off, use foliage to stabilize the soil, and to provide a durable low maintenance surface cover. These microparks continue to provide emergency parking space for fire trucks and exasperated Fresh-direct delivery persons. There's one NoPark right here and another one down the road. lift09, green, sustainability, nopark, xclinic, natalie jeremijenko 40.7299357036297 -73.988234102726 0 http://www.tagcrumbs.com/p/MmUyMjY 2009-02-27T10:54:38+01:00 2009-06-29T18:17:35+02:00 false New York 5128581 40.7142691 -74.0059729 New York 5128638 43.0003472 -75.4998978 United States 6252001 39.76 -98.5

The tradition was adopted in 1818 and it's the third tree that is now being watched closely. The city publishes a statistic with details (month and day) of when each tree budded.
