The Vignelli Canon
- Posted:
20 January 2009
I grew up without a canon, now nations, cities, professions and schools develop their own canon, benchmarks of essential steps in their history or their development. And when constructing canons once become popular, everyone will follow.
Download The Vignelli Canon
Massimo Vignelli still has a good nose for the signs of the time, so he recently issued 'The Vignelli Canon'. As a very strong believer in the virtues of Modernism he has every right to do so. His professional career is built on a number of professional axioms that he never betrayed. (Well, to be honest, his axioms are pretty ambiguous here and there, so there is lots of room for interpretation). If you wish to sum up Massimo's major professional contribution in one single line, one could say that he brought European design to the US. Obviously, European design with an Italian flavour, so there was a large interest for interior, product and even fashion design. All his designs have the minimalist, purely functional, almost calvinistic touch, that for some reason roots so well in the exuberant Italian society. Maybe it's like the Italian kitchen; the food is always austere, but the meal and the event can be extravagant.
The God is in the detail.
And it ever was at Vignelli's. Always refined and sometimes sublime.
We all know that Dutch people are seldom well behaved. (It's almost part of the Dutch canon). They always have to make unsolicited remarks, so here is mine about the Vignelli canon. I never understood why mediaeval (or Old Style) figures were never part of character sets produced in the US. It seemed as if mostly Dutch typographers were sensitive to this kind of (very traditional) typographic refinement. There are no mediaeval figures in the Vignelli Canon, only tabular figures used in the running text. (Failing any syntactic or pragmatic motivation). With all the good things Massimo shipped over the ocean, I feel he forgot something. Too bad he did. He could have avoided that the American font producers needed at least 25 years to catch up with this kind of essential typographic tradition.

Well, that dream has turned out to be a sort of never ending dream that is highly unlikely to come true as many already suspected. Nevertheless, Americans (more than any other culture) have written complete libraries with advice about how to become successful. They remain strong believers of the concept of bootstrapping against all evidence to the contrary, specifically in their own society.
It seems that a wide range of circumstances can make a major difference in the likeliness of becoming successful. Being born in the right era certainly helps. Most of the successful IT entrepreneurs were born between 1953 and 56. That is not surprising, people born in that period had just the right combination of having enough experience (the 10,000 hour norm) and also being at the beginning of their careers, so with no strong attachments to existing businesses. No distractions from staying focused. At the very moment when a technological shift took place, these talented people were - by coincidence - free, fresh, able and available. When you dig deeper in the personal background of each IT tycoon you find even more reasons that showed that coincidence was the cause of each individual taking an advantage in knowledge over their peers. Coincidence, nothing more. Bill Gates concludes about his own career that he's just been lucky. Being born in the right era is an enormous boon. Also for designers, artists and architects. Setting up an architectural practice in the early 20s or by contrast 10 years later in the early 30s makes a big difference in the follow-up. The architectural profession has blossomed extravagantly during the past 25 years because of exceptional circumstances in the building industry. Graphic designers have had their days in the sun in the 60s through the 90s. Technological/scientific shifts are important because of their economic effects, but also peer influence can change a whole profession in a relatively short period of time. The influence of France in the visual arts at the beginning of the 20th century was overwhelming. The explosion of German visual art during the past 40 years; England in the past 10 years is not the coincidence of a sudden wave of highly talented people being born in one specific period in one specific country. The coincidence is geo-political combined with the presence of one or a few geniuses that attracted and inspired many talented people who in turn stimulated each other to reach ever higher professional levels. Professional developments can be like the dancers in a 'primitive' African village where the collective is responsible for bringing the individual physical performance to perplexing superhuman levels. The stimulant coming from one's direct environment cannot be overestimated as source of success. It starts with your own family that merely sees that education and intellectual development goes on when the schools are closed, it continues if you're lucky enough to get a (professional) education in schools that are not crowded and have good teachers, and the stimulant you receive from your fellow students can turn out to be priceless in the development of your own career. After school, the best strategy is to work for a while in places that maintain a high professional level. These places have sometimes far more openings than in other times. It is just coincidence to be given a chance to participate.
There are also causes for success of a total different nature.
Advanced medical knowledge reveals that extraordinary (pathological) conditions may be the cause of an exceptional talent. A deficiency in one specific brain function may cause the unusual large development in another. An exceptional visual talent maybe caused by an underdeveloped verbal capability. Idiot savants are mentally handicapped but are brilliant in certain areas. 'Les extremes se touche', the French say and Dutch wisdom has it that 'the bigger the mind, the bigger the beast in us'. There is also a case to be made for the pathogenic effects of success. It seems to be difficult to stay mentally healthy in a situation of being extremely successful. First, there is the bizarre hunger for more that seems to increase with becoming ever more successful or wealthy. Arriving at the top seems to enhance the desire to grow wings. The wealthy and powerful are starting to take absurd risks (or remain bizarrely frugal) to reach an even higher level of power or wealth, sometimes resulting in a total loss. The immensely successful Microsoft company needed the intervention of the highest international courts to curb its insatiable commercial blood thirst. The biggest financial institutions have taken the highest risks ultimately resulting in the recent global financial meltdown. A pathological condition called 'obsessive compulsive disorder' (COD) seems to be be to some degree a steady companion of success. All effort and attention is put onto one or a few cards. All life experiences become tunneled into the source of the success. For exceptionally successful designers this often leads to neglecting simple functional aspects of design, groundbreaking typography becomes unreadable and as the saying goes that 'architecture leaks'. Probably brillant architecture leaks like a strainer. Success does not allow for criticism. That is always dismissed as envy. Success can only collapse under its own weight. Flying high is intoxicating, a soft landing rare and a fall always devastating. Exceptional success is always based on a immense passion that burns like a wildfire and will only end when there is nothing left to burn.
Going to the Post Office
- Posted:
10 January 2009
Well organised postal services were the lifeline of the new economy. Mail ordering was a cornerstone of the economic activity in the US at some stage of its development. The mail services freed all business activities from the confinement of being local operations. All Western economies have landmark buildings for their major post offices, all built at the beginning of the last century. Well, and then telecommunications came along, followed by the digital era. Business communications and activities changed with the new technologies. Postal services became privatised and email no longer required large distribution buildings. Nevertheless, the mail remained important. A distribution network of physical goods is still the indispensable shadow of the digital network. One cannot live well without the other.
But going to the post office has become a dramatically different experience during my lifetime. The actual experience of dispatching a mail package through a post office depends much on where you are on the globe. I joined my colleague in NY to the Church Street (near Wall Street) post office there. In this case, putting something in the mail is a royal experience. There is this huge Art Deco palace with a ground floor that has no other purpose than to send stuff by mail. The building has a majestic architecture bathing in a subdued light, spaces are mostly empty and no staff to be seen. It feels like an deserted kingdom. There are a lot of service kiosks scattered in the gigantic spaces where an interactive screen/scale combination helps you to stamp your own packages or letters. One needs to be experienced though, otherwise it would take you a day to get through the large digital questionnaire needed to get a simple package properly stamped. Every action in the US always leaves the impression as if entering a complex legal transaction. After paying and putting the printed sticker(s) on your mail you just dump it in a gap in the wall. In London, basically the same procedure is organised in a total different setting, it feels more like collecting food stamps during a long war. A small and crammed place annex convenient store is filled with cuing people. Nothing royal here, but there are less machines and still some staff around that operates in a polite and half automated mode. In Tokyo, the old post office is kept for the most part intact. Uniformed staff and a plethora of different options for services. The convenient store is only slowly creeping in. In my French village, the staff in the post office at the 'Place de Poste' was gradually reduced from three employees to one lady in the past 10 years, but the old building is entirely refurbished. The lady is now working behind thick glass in the middle of a colourful collection of prepaid standard packages. (The French public organisations have discovered graphic design at last. Well, the discovery was done in a French way of course). I only have to put my package on her counter and answer her questions about the type of delivery required - and her queries about the well-being of myself and my family - and all the rest is done by herself. In Amsterdam, the listed building of the Head Post Office has been transformed more than ten years ago into a shopping mall, where the stunning architecture is now competing with the commercial signage. The myriad of all the other nice post offices in the city are now closing after having seen themselves refurbishes a couple of times by new visual identity programs. The new post office model is a simple convenient store with a postoffice corner. All official status is gone. The national mail is organised the way the cleaning of buildings is. This approach has been quite a change from before. The Dutch national mail and telecommunication services once played an important national role as stimulator of good design, architecture and art collecting. Some countries, Lebanon for instance, do not have a postal service to speak of, although Canada Post did set up Liban Poste after the civil war. If you want to have a package or letter delivered most Lebanese think it will be better bring it yourself or ask your driver to do it for you. Luckily, the country is very small.
Design Philosophy
- Posted:
04 January 2009
The only type of design that really matters. (Well, that is put too straightforward perhaps, making 'interesting or cool design' today is useful for boosting your peer status, design education, museums, design magazines, design shops and everything else related to fashion. The last includes a lot of commercial activities these days) Yet, designing is also about developing ideas, having an unconventional approach towards a design brief.
There was not much need or demand to develop a design philosophy. This situation changed when design became a commodity with lots of competing designers and when design education became a highly lucrative industry. A design philosophy became a concise or a more elaborate distinctive view to market your design work or your education facility. Having the option of getting the highest scholarly degree in design made documenting and thinking about design philosophies a serious business, coming with the handicap that a complex wordy account is often considered intellectually profound. The UK/USA tandem are the trail blazers in this field since marketing are more or less invented in these societies and their educational systems match (and of course their languages have remarkable similarities).
Carin Goldberg suggested to Andrew Blauvelt that AGI members might be interested in a piece that Andrew published on the DesignObserver.com blog. Andrew thinks that we are today in the process of a paradigm shift across (a fundamental different approach towards) all fields of design. He believes that we went the past 100 years through stages like the three separate aspects of signs or symbols: a formal (grammatical), a semantical and a practical. But in our professional case these were stages describing the professional activity and they happened in a chronological order. Now we're entering the stage where the practical (or relational as he calls it) aspect becomes the most important one. Does Andrew have a point (despite his awkward comparison) ? Judging is difficult since the commercial and social environment has changed so fundamentally in the past 100 years that maybe all professional activities are affected in the way that Andrew describes for the design profession.

As the season of mists descends once again over the campuses throughout the country, the bright-eyed and quick-minded, who have survived the education system so far, are queuing up to register at their faculties, sort out accommodation and open their bank accounts.
As the season of mists descends once again over the campuses throughout the country, the bright-eyed and quick-minded, who have survived the education system so far, are queuing up to register at their faculties, sort out accommodation and open their bank accounts.
Since I was in their position, a sobering 30 years ago, such a time and such sights obviously now goad me into nostalgia. But they also prompt the question : "How different are the current crop from us of the Seventies?" At that time, of course, there were no loans, you were a highly privileged and fortunate minority - 5 per cent of the population who were able to benefit from the university experience without a worry that it would eventually have to be all paid back in the future.
For many of us from modest backgrounds, our parents had not needed to contribute anything at all. We were therefore completely unencumbered by guilt from family, or eventual responsibility back to the State.
But, perhaps, the biggest difference of all was that the concept of the audit was unknown. We had not gone to schools beleaguered by Ofsted where our teachers worked themselves into a frazzle trying to comply with the bureaucratic demands of a central government setting standardised standards.
We had been taught by often charismatic and inspiring teachers, who frequently went "off piste" from the curriculum and actually gave us their own original insights, according to the needs and abilities of their pupils.
Nor were we in the habit, as many of today's students, of looking forward to filling out feedback forms, or to have an outsider sitting in on our teaching to ensure that standards and, indeed, homogeneity of a sort, was being sustained.
Perhaps in allocating funds, for a society where more people benefit from higher education, these checks and balances are necessary. Of course, the old system was in support of a highly favoured minority and I am not trying to defend it as it stood; but the basic issue is that our mind set was not influenced by any consideration other than the pursuit of knowledge for whatever ends. And when we went "up" we certainly weren't confronted therefore with the concept of stress. The students coming nowadays will, I'm sure, be offered a whole range of potential counselling services if the going gets rough. Why should university life not be wonderful?
However, if you are competing with others in a job-orientated society, then perhaps there would be more case for being stressed out, working yourself into the ground and, as a result, engaging in Neanderthal boozing late into the night at the student bar.
And say you have the tunnel vision to succeed at all costs, because so much is expected of you, and you are being measured up against such objective standards, then of course there won't be any time to discuss the ills of the world, to take an interest in politics, and even less chance to sit around listening to music, discussing poetry and attending lectures in other disciplines: all of which were common in the Seventies.
I am worried now that university education is used very much as some kind of commodity that can be assessed, standardised and quantified: it is traded as man- and woman-hours for loans, which eventually can be relayed on to the job market. Students today will have had the concept of performance markers drummed into them. They will be set fair, most of them, for a course that will train them to be good employees - but will they actually be "educated"?
In all the standardisation, both valid and/or bureaucratic, that has ensued in the last few decades, have we thrown the baby of intellectual curiosity and fun out with the bath water of the sink-or-swim system? I fervently hope that this latest batch of students, geared up as they are to succeed in the job market, do not lose sight of the fact that they are at university also to develop as individuals.

Maybe I need to explain the glowing monkeys according to the Beavis and Butthead principle.
Take a group of scientists dedicated to the field of genetic engineering and offer them lots of money if they can conduct a research project that will benefit mankind.
Beavis and Butthead are sitting in the back of the room not paying attention…
The rest of the scientist start thinking about what kind of ground breaking research they can conduct.
Beavis and Butthead begin to get bored as the hours pass… Beavis asks, Why are we here again?"
A nearby scientist explains that they need to come up with a genetic engineering project to benefit mankind.
Butthead: "Why not make monkeys that glow in the dark?, That'd be cool…"
Beavis: "Yeah, glowing monkeys.. Heh heh,…heh, heh!!!!"
Nearby scientist #1: "Well, it is possible scientifically, but nobody would ever fund it."
Nearby scientist #2: "I was supposed to be home 20 minutes ago… It's my kids fifth birthday and I'm supposed to pick up the cake… I'm fine with the glowing monkeys."
Beavis: Yeah… Yeah!!!!
Nearby scientist #1: "Yeah, it is getting late… I'll just make up some flimsy excuse for the project… What's the worst thing that could happen… They say no and we get another week to think up something good…"
Butthead: "Ummm…. Cool."
I hope that clears things up for everyone.

A friendly reminder that your seminar prompt is posted under "seminar prompts" tab. Note a small change at the end of the prompt from previous weeks –
"Instead of a question this week – at the end of your essay, identify major concepts/themes/ideas that you have developed a deeper understanding of or are considering in new ways since beginning this program. And, identify some terminology (musical and/or non-musical) that has come up in the reading that is new to you and of which you are developing an understanding."
This change is intended to help you further organize your thoughts for mid-quarter evaluations next week (week 5). I plan to meet with each of you individually during week 5 and will ask you to prepare a mid-quarter self evaluation for those meetings.

The Constitutional Court has upheld the election of Patriotic Front-PF's Peter Daka as Msanzala Member of Parliament.
This is after the Constitutional Court dismissed the appeal by losing Independent candidate Maragret Zulu whose petition was initially dismissed by the Ndola High Court.
Justice Mungeni Mulenga sitting with Justices Enoch Mulembe and Justice Margaret Munalula delivered judgment on Wednesday.
In dismissing the appeal, the Constitutional Court held that the first petition in the High Court was initiated under the repealed Electoral Act and could NOT be amended at appeal.
The court ruled that this rendered the appeal case null and void.
Mr Daka was represented by Kelvin Msoni of JB Sakala and Company.
This becomes the first electoral petition appeal case to be determined by the constitution.

Have you ever had to buy snacks last minute at the grocery store for a road trip or a long day out of the house? I certainly have been in this situation from time to time. Ideally, I try to prepare homemade snacks ahead of time but sometimes that just isn't possible. After being in this situation enough times, I came up with a number of snack ideas that can be found in most grocery stores that are convenient, healthy, and gluten-free.
All of the options on my list are things that don't need any preparation and work well for kids. These are things you could potentially buy while you are on the road and will not have access to a kitchen to do any kind of cutting or prep. My daughter loves apples but she only eats them sliced up with the skin removed so if we are on the go it is not usually practical to get something like that.
There are two kinds of bars on my list and these are the only two brands of bars that I purchase. You will see an endless amount of granola bars, nutrition bars, and other types of bars in grocery stores and the majority of them are full of junk. They have a long list of ingredients that you can't pronounce and unnecessary fillers. Both of the bars on my list have a short ingredient list and are all recognizable things.
Healthy Snacks
1. KIND Bars– These bars are filling, tasty, and some flavors even satisfy a sweet tooth.
2. Larabars– I love that Larabars are sweetened only with dates. Larabars have one of the shortest list of ingredients I have ever seen which is a very good thing!
3. Carrot Sticks – Easy to munch on and dip into hummus. Also a great thing if you are looking for a something crunchy.
4. Hummus – This has become so popular that most stores have prepared hummus. Of course homemade hummus is better but if you are on the run, this is a fine substitute.
5. Rice Crackers– A good alternative to chips or other crackers that are not gluten-free. Look in the Asian food isle and you will find these.
6. Trail Mix – Another filling option that is easy to munch on. Look for trail mixes without added sugar. If you are at a Whole Foods you can get trail mix in the bulk section which saves some money.
7. Berries – When they are in season, berries are great for snacking. They are refreshing and sweet and don't require much preparation to eat.
What healthy snacks do you get at the grocery store when you don't have time to prepare?

Excerpt from Collecting Confederate Paper Money by Pierre Fricke and based on Dr. Douglas Ball's research.
Sheldon rarity scale populations for rarity levels:
R1 1250+ Common (e.g., T-68)
R2 500 ñ 1250 Not so common (e.g., T-22)
R3 201 ñ 499 Scarce (e.g., T-15)
R4 76 ñ 200 Very scarce (e.g., Montgomeries, T-35)
R5 31 ñ 75 Rare (Rarer than T-35...)
R6 13 ñ 30 Very rare
R7 4 ñ 12 Extremely rare
R8 1 ñ 3 Unique or nearly so
Now I will turn to a more detailed discussion of collecting CSA paper money today, highlighting some of the different ways people are collecting CSA paper money. Keep in mind, this is a hobby and/or an investment medium. Clarifying your objectives is important when deciding what to focus on. For hobbyists, the beauty, historical interest, and emotional satisfaction may be paramount. On the other hand, investors need to focus on high quality and/or rarity. Provenance may play a role for both types of collectors.
There are several ways to approach collecting Confederate paper money. Collecting the basic 70 types is a common approach. Various type and variety note subsets are good goals for those who lack the $200,000 or so needed to complete an average grade 70-note type set. These subsets are described below.
There is more information available today regarding which varieties are truly rare. This fact, in addition to the Internet and cheap airfare, makes it more possible to assemble rare variety collections that most of the early collectors, by and large, couldnít assemble even after thirty or forty years of collecting.
Note: NC = "Non Collectible" meaning that les than three examples are known in collector's hands. Collectible sets described below are more realistic goals, though it's always a thrill to add an "NC" to one's collection!
The type set is the most common collecting goal. A complete type set includes a single example of each of the 70 types issued. An average grade complete type set may run $200,000 or more. I estimate that at least 100 people have completed this set in the last 30 years and more than 200 people and institutions over the past 140 years. The rarest type is the T-35, with 99 examples known and more likely to be found. Given the fact that some of these are in institutions, there are perhaps 75 to 80 or so complete regular issue type sets possible at any given time.
For those who seek to conserve financial resources, a subset of a complete type set may be a reasonable goal. One typical subset includes all but the most expensive six types ñ the four Montgomery issues, the Eagle and Shield, and the Indian Princess (T-1, T-2, T-3, T-4, T-27 and T-35). The 64 remaining types may cost $60,000 to $100,000 depending on the grade collected. Several hundred people have likely completed this set over the decades since the War.
One of the most affordable and popular type collections is a nice set of 1864 notes, which are the easiest to obtain in high grade for modest amounts of money. There are 9 types spanning the T-64 $500 Stonewall Jackson note to the T-72 50 cent Jefferson Davis type. This set can be acquired for $700 to $1,400.
In the catalog section of this book, the ìtop tenî condition census range is described for each type, giving guidance on what a top-end collection would look like. A condition census is a list of the top known grades for each type or variety. The grading is assumed to be the conservative scale described on this site. It is about 1/2 to 1 grade more conservative than "commercial", many dealers and auction houses, and slab grading and has been used by many serious collectors with little change for decades. It is equivalent to how many grade notes to "buy".
Collectors with means, and investors should aim to reach as close to acquiring condition census type and variety notes as possible. Beginning collectors should gain some experience with more modestly valued notes until they learn how to grade, and how to determine if a note has problems. Knowledge of grading, and what makes a CSA note choice vs. a problem note, is critical for the collector and investor alike. This knowledge is best acquired by making mistakes on cheaper notes before venturing into deep water.
Collectors of more modest means may focus on a subset of types to their liking, or may attempt to get as many of the different types as possible that have been cancelled with slit cuts or cut-out cancels as these are much more affordable. A collector of modest means may still want to focus on quality, and can do so by picking a logical subset, such as the 1864 collection mentioned or some other grouping. I will explore a few of these subsets in subsequent sections.
The most famous, rare and expensive types are known as the ìBig 6î. These include the four Montgomery notes as well as the Eagle and Shield and the Indian Princess note as follows.
T-1 PF-1 R-4 $1000 Montgomery
T-2 PF-1 R-4 $500 Montgomery
T-3 PF-1 R-4 $100 Montgomery
T-4 PF-1 R-4 $50 Montgomery
T-27 PF-1 or PF-2 R-4+/R-5+ $10 Eagle and Shield
T-35 PF-1 R-4+ $5 Indian Princess
All of these notes are very scarce, yet may be found in any given six-month period. On occasion, one may have the opportunity to choose among several of these types within that same time frame. These six notes, particularly in high grade, are impressive, and acquiring this set is a noteworthy achievement. I estimate that perhaps 200 people and institutions have completed this set over the past 130 years.
All of the collectible rare varieties identified in this catalog have been given the designation ìRVî (short for ìrare varietyî). These represent Confederate paper money varieties that range from ìRareî (R5: 31 to 75 estimated survivors) through to ìExcessively Rareî (R8: with 3 known in collectorís hands). There are 235 of these RVs, and such a collection has never been completed, though Dr. Ball, myself, Gene Mintz, Arnold Cowan, Raphael Thian and John Browne have come the closest to my knowledge. Today, there are others working on acquiring this collection as well, now that these rare notes have been more clearly identified than in past catalogs. While not for the faint of heart, this collection represents an interesting foray into errors, production, papers, and the history of Confederate paper money. I would compare this collection to the Dr. Sheldon set of 295 early date large cents, except that all of these are R5 or better! Of course, one may add as many ìNon Collectibleî varieties to this or any collection they can find!
This set is a greater challenge than the ìBig 6î, not so much financially, as it is just finding the notes. This is due to the fact that these great rarities were created in miniscule quantities and with few survivors. Many advanced collectors, both past and present, have sought these notes out, enjoying a great feeling of accomplishment when they found one to add to their collection. This collection of notes may be acquired for less money than the ìBig 6î (at least as of 2005), but due to their rarity, it will take more time to find all the necessary notes. While several collectors have come close to completing this set, none have done it yet. Here is a great opportunity to make history for the patient and alert collector!

During the high volume production of Confederate paper money from 1862 through 1864, plate errors occurred more visibly and frequently than on the 1861 low volume issues. One of the most visible errors is the plate letter or number (plen) error where one plate letter is mismatched with the other. This list represents a complete collection of ìcollectibleî plen errors known to date. This is another challenging collection to acquire due to the rarity of some of the notes. With patience and vigilance, this set may be put together for the price of a VG T-35, and perhaps for less. Only a few collectors have completed this set. It is truly an experience to see all of these notes in one place.

T-60 PF-8 R-5+ E-missing E
T-68 PF-1 State III R-6 G-missing G
T-68 PF-40 State II R-6 F-ìEî
There are other, less obvious plen errors. For example, some T-66s have doubled plens. There are missing serifs and other anomalies in T-59 and T-60 to consider adding as well. But, the above makes a complete set of significant, collectible plen mismatch errors.
Another interesting error collection is a set of these printer name errors. Printer name ìerrorsî include things like two printersí names where plates were transferred from one printer to another and not completely changed. Another is where part of the clause such as ìPrinted byî was left out erroneously. These are remarkable errors in that the printerís name, or imprint, was advertising for the printer, yet on these notes the imprints were incorrect. In some cases, just ìPrinted byî was omitted, which is not that bad. However, in other cases, there were two printersí names, which most businessmen would consider to be a public relations disaster! These make for fascinating conversation pieces.

One of the most intriguing watermarks and early mysteries of Confederate currency was the paper marked ìHodgkinson & Co Wookey Hole Millî. Some type note collectors add one of these notes to their collection as an interesting adjunct and conversation piece. Collectors enjoy having unique and interesting items in their sets. All of the Wookey Hole Mill varieties are extremely rare to non-collectible (with the exception of the T-60 PF-17), so they are hard to find. They have been appreciating in value lately as more collectors begin to understand their rarity, which was underestimated in Criswellís book. No one has completed a collection of these, though Dr. Ball had the most extensive set.

Another of the intriguing English watermarked papers is J Whatman 1862. The Confederacy imported limited amounts of this paper in an effort to expand its supply base of high quality paper beyond what it was capable of producing. While not as popular as the Wookey Hole Mill varieties, these make an interesting set and are a noteworthy collection in themselves.

One of the more fascinating errors is the inverted back. These were created when the printers put the sheet upside down onto the second printing plate to print either the front or the back after the first side was printed. Most of these are extremely rare and the most common is still rare. Itís always a thrill to find one.

The T-14 PF-6 (CR-66-74) plate letter set is a long sought-after rare set of a complete T-14 plate that was used to produce only 734 sheets. The plate letters are: AD, AE, AF, AG, AH, AI, AK and AL. For some mysterious reason, AJ was skipped. I believe there are 5 possible sets with one of them in the Museum of the Confederacy. No one has assembled a complete set that did not have at least one note cut-out-cancelled. I estimate that 15 people have completed this set, including McCoy, Browne, Criswell, Ball, Cowan, Mintz, and myself amongst others that I know of.
All but the AG plate letter notes are very to extremely rare. There was a small group of higher grade AG plate letter notes found some years ago, and these represent the best examples of this variety in AU-Unc. A set may be collected for around $2,000-$3,000 with patience, though, that price may be higher by the time all of the notes become available. This is a fun set to own and would be one of the major centerpieces of any collection. This set also has a pretty short ìHall of Fameî list as well!
The T-16 PF-6 (CR-95-98) rare A-number plate letter set is another of the long sought after sets. This set includes four plate letter-number (plen) combinations ñ 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A. The 2A has not been seen, nor is known to have been in any collection. Whether any survive remains a mystery. However, a few collectors including John Browne and John Ford have owned three of the plens that are known to exist. John Browne assembled what may have been the first set of these minus the unknown A2 plen. This variety (or plen set) was once thought to be the rarest variety. This was due to Thianís registry showing the smallest number for this plen set of any plen set. However, Thianís registry does not show watermarked varieties, errors or anything beyond series and plens, so it is missing a significant number of rarities, as it did not record Confederate currency to that level of granularity. At R-7, the T-16 PF-6 is not the rarest variety, nor is it even the rarest T-16. However, it has long been a part of Confederate paper money collecting folklore, and the switch to plate numbers and back to plate letters again for T-16 remains one of the mysteries of Confederate collecting. A single example may run at least $5,000, with some going privately for $7,500 to $10,000.
The T-18 PF-17 (CR-115 and CR-118-126) rare plate letter set comes from a plate of 10 notes with AC, AM, AN, AO, AP, AQ, AR, AS, AT and AU as the plate letter combinations. Only 544 sheets were printed, making this is an excessively rare set with perhaps two sets possible. One of these sets resides at the Museum of the Confederacy, making this set a difficult one to assemble. A set may be put together with a great deal of patience for a few thousand dollars making this, perhaps, one of the great bargains in CSA paper money. The ìHall of Fameî list is even shorter here, with Dr. Ball being the only person on public record to have completed this set. Even a partial set is a noteworthy achievement.
The T-27 PF-2 (CR-222-229) A-numeral plate set is another great classic set that is highly sought after and a challenge to assemble, both in rarity terms as well as in financial terms. There was a short run of T-27s separate from T-35s that had eight T-27s on a sheet with plens A9, A10, A11, A12, A13, A14, A15, and A16. Together, these are a Rarity 5 variety with some 31-75 estimated surviving population. Individually, the plens are extremely rare with all being at least R-7-. There were 177 sheets printed, and this variety seems to have a fairly high survival rate. Currently, three sets are possible with the A13 and A16 plens being the keys. Two or three of each are reported or thought to exist. This collection is a bit easier than the T-18 rare plate set and a bit more difficult than the T-14 rare plate set to find. Interestingly, due to these being T-27s and much desired by type note collectors, the cost of this set is far more than that of the other rare sets, e.g., T-14 and T-18. One of these sets can easily cost in excess of $100,000. The ìHall of Fameî on this set includes John Browne, John Ford, Dr. Ball and others. No complete sets are known to be in a museum, so all two or three sets are available to collectors.
Red (the color of the overprints) Southern Bank notes are among the most beautiful and popular Confederate notes. This relatively easy to acquire set includes just four types: T-15, T-19, T-22 and T-31. This four note set can be put together quite quickly, however, some patience may be required if one is searching for choice notes. Several hundred people have completed this set over the years. In F to VF it may range from $9,000, including some cut-cancelled examples, up to $25,000 or more in VF or so.
The more challenging set includes all of the T-22 and T-31 plate letters: A, B and C, as well as a red ink serial number example of each. There is only one T-15 and T-19 in this set, just as there is in the more basic set. The rarest note is the T-22 with red serial numbers. The most expensive remains the T-15. When all 10 notes are together, it is a truly impressive set. Completing the more challenging set will add $3,000 to more than $10,000 to the above range depending on grade. I believe it is well worth it, as now, instead of having one among hundreds of completed collections over the years, it represents a higher level of accomplishment. Far fewer people have this complete collection of ìred notesî.

When we address the topic of the biggest threat to a woman's retirement, do you want the good news or the bad news first?
This isn't a trick question so I'll start with the good news: It's longevity. That's actually better than good news. In fact, it's great news. Women are living longer and longer, and longevity is redefining retirement for women.
Now, for the bad news: Women are living longer. And with longer lives comes the need for more money for retirement. That's really bad news.

The Word 'Innovation' Needs Innovated
Innovation: the act or process of introducing new ideas, devices, or methods.
Surrounded by as much fanfare as every other Apple announcement, on September 10 the iPhone 5S was revealed to the world. Packing better performance, a better camera, iOS 7 and a new fingerprint reader, it's a seemingly average upgrade. Not only that, but the iPhone 5C is a new contender, packing iPhone 5 specs in a colorful plastic shell at a slightly lower price. Of course, opinions from those in the tech world quickly came through the wire...
"The iPhone 5S is very disappointing."
"Steve Jobs would have never approved a plastic iPhone."
"The iPhone 5C is made of cheap plastic, packs last year's specs, but retails starting at $549!"
"It's like Apple worked with Crocs to create the hideous 5C cases."
No matter which way you sliced it, the message was pretty clear: Apple, the company once seen as THE innovator, is no more. Competitors like Samsung have been really pushing forward, delivering big upgrade after big upgrade, and offering specs that would make a computer just five years ago look like a calculator. Motorola, while not crazy in the specs department, and instead more focused on features with the Moto X, has brought work back to the United States, and is offering customization that puts the iPhone 5C's pastel of colors to shame.
HTC, despite all of its trials and tribulations, managed to create quite possibly one of the greatest looking Android phones ever (dat Blue), and its front-facing "BoomSound" speakers are a fantastic idea that should be standard on every single smartphone. Even if you are the biggest Apple fan of them all, one can't ignore the strides that Android has been making, and who Jobs wanted to "go thermonuclear war on."
However, there is just one problem with this whole "lacking innovation" debate...
The Word Has Lost Its Meaning
Innovation is now used to describe the most meaningless of updates. Worst of all, we hold companies to such a high standard for "innovating", yet if we truly had a say in the future of a product or service, 99% of our responses would be far from innovative. Innovation is something new, something unique. In the world of smartphones and tablets, such thing rarely shows its face.
And one thing that needs to be understood is that while innovation is welcomed by consumers, the average consumer who dictates the success and failure of such devices, care most about how it can help them get done what they need to get done.
Specs Are For Geeks, Experience Is For Everyone Else
The iPhone 5S or 5C may not be the innovation that one would expect from a company cementing itself as "Insanely Great." However, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Decision and estimation statistical theory share with information theory the common outlook of optimally using a set of random data, so this fields have been coming close together. Solved problems are particular cases in the generalizations of classical hypotheses testing and in relatively recent studies of statistical identification of distributions of randomly acting objects. The main aim of the present investigation is to solve the problem of studying the matrix E of error probabilities exponents of the optimal test for L > 2 hypotheses by using the theory of large deviations for one and two independent objects. The second aim is solution of the problem of identification under reliability requirements of hypotheses concerning distribution of Markov simple homogenous stationary chain with a finite number of states. The study of this book recommend for Master and PhD students and Scientific research in branches of Applied mathematics, Statistics and also in Engineering.

Published byJoshua Rogers Modified about 1 year ago
A brief guide provided by OWMA / MBCOL Zubeir Hassam
MBCOL was established in 1994 Coordinates & facilitates funerals out of hours Authorized (delegated authority under a legal agreement) to carry out burials seven days a week Works in partnership with other agencies such as Leicester City Council, NHS, Coroners, Police etc MBCOL is a Registered Charity & a Company Limited by Guarantee MBCOL
Death is a reality Many things in life aren't definite but one thing that is certain is that we will all die.... Allah says: Kullu nafsin thaa-iqatul mawt "And every soul shall taste death" 29:57
Importance of this knowledge The knowledge of knowing how to wash and bury the deceased is Fard al-kafayah that is an obligatory duty enjoined upon all Muslims in the community. However if it is performed by some, the other members are cleared of the obligation.
At the time of passing away Al Muhtadar – This is a person on whom the signs of death are evident. Some of which are: The dying persons knees becoming weak The breath quickening The temples subsiding The nose bending
What to do It is sunnah to try to encourage the Muhtadar to face the Qibla if possible Ensure the bed linen is clean. To scent the room with Taahir fragrance (loban, itr e.t.c) It is recommended for the family to recite Surah Yasin 36 and Surah al Rad 13 At this stage anyone in the state of impurity should leave the room
It is sunnah for the person passing away to be reminded of the two shahadas- Ash-hadu al-laa ilaaha illaahu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu warasuluh "I testify that there in none worthy of worship except Allah, and I testify that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His servant and His messenger" Talqeen
When the soul has departed: Close the eyes Tie a strip of material around the face to ensure mouth remains closed Remove any jewellery Remove any dentures Straighten body Tie the feet at the ankles Cover deceased with a clean cloth
When the soul has departed: The person doing this should recite the following duaa': Bismillaahi wabillaahi wa 'alaa millati Rasoolillaahi "In the name of Allah and on the creed, religion and faith of the Messenger of Allah" (peace and blessings be upon him) Allaahumma yassir 'alayhi amruhu wa sahhil 'alalyhi maa ba'duhu wa as'idhu biliqaa-ika waj'al mimmaa kharaja 'anhu "O Allah! Ease upon him, his matters and make light work for him whatever comes hereafter and honour him with your meeting and make that which he has gone to, better than that which he came out from"
All the individuals of the deceased's family may recite: Allaahummaghfirlee walahu wa 'aqibnee minhu 'uqban hasanan "Oh Allah! Forgive me and him and grant me a good reward" Those who are grieved by the demise may recite: Innaa lillaahi wa innaa ilayhi raaji'oon "To Allah we belong and to Him we return" When the soul has departed
Those who are grieved by the demise may recite: Allaahumma ajirnee fee museebatee wakhluf lee khayram minhaa "Oh Allah! Reward Me in my Affliction and requite me with something better than this"
Contact the family doctor Inform those that deal with funerals such as members from the local Masjid or community centre generally referred to as the Funeral Arrangers Inform the local Imam of the gusl, funeral prayer and burial Inform relatives and friends Notifying Others
The risk of infection from a deceased patient to those carrying out ghusl, is no greater than prior to the death of the patient Risk of infection from the deceased can occur by… Putting hands/fingers contaminated with body fluids into your mouth, eyes or nose Splashes of body fluids getting into your eye, mouth or breaks in the skin If skin is penetrated from a contaminated needle or sharp object Infection Control

As the Satsanga Community expands, the help of many hands are needed in order to support its expansion! The Satsanga Angels are volunteers that have completed the Satsanga Active Meditation Facilitator Training and are assisting Satsanga in many ways, including meditation facilitation, event set up / clean up, door registrations, social media & more :) <3. If you see these angels around, please give them an extra hug and a thank you! :) Without them, Satsanga would not run the same way! :) Some of these angels are also facilitating their own events, so do check out their personal work too.
Amy Mak
This dear soul sister joined the Singa Satsanga family in 2010 through the practice of kirtan, true to her style as she has one of the most bhakti hearts on the planet! :) <3 Through the years, Amy has since become more involved with Satsanga activities, being the primary inspiration for our family art projects & community events. She also regularly facilitates weekly meditations for Satsanga and holds space for our monthly Women Sacred Circles. Additionally, Amy offers private and group yoga classes within the temple of her own home. To read more about Amy's offerings, see HERE.
Owen Yeoh
Owen started his journey with Singa Satsanga in 2011. Although initially an infrequent visitor, his time with this beautiful community would eventually grow to be where he calls home. His first steps in his spiritual journey would see Owen dabble in different expressions of spirituality, from meditating under a pyramid, to the use of Tibetan singing bowls, to working with his breath. All this came together when he experienced Dynamic Meditation, an OSHO Active Meditation technique. Experiencing the technique for 21-days allowed him to build a foundation for his personal journey towards self-awareness. He has built on this foundation, by first expanding with the many OSHO active meditation techniques, and now opening himself to various techniques that resonate and support his journey. Owen supports through service to the community, from setting up the space for weekly meditations to sharing meditation techniques. He is an incredible builder of community, a compassionate leader, and is often organising many of the Satsanga get togethers, as well as facilitating Ananda Mandala Meditation & Quantum Breathwork, in addition to the Active Meditations.
Radhika Banu
Our sister Radhika appeared in the heart of Satsanga in 2010. She brings with her a heart of devotion, service and humility, sharing these vibrations with all those whose paths she meets. You can find Radhika dancing freely in our dance meditations, enjoying kirtan and supporting the regular events at Satsanga. She frequently helps to set up Satsanga space, facilitate active meditations and also handle the fun work of door registrations for events :). Radhika is a devoted yoga practitioner and teaches a variety of classes with Ananda Marga, as well as offers private yoga instruction.
Roghini Meiporul
Roghini found Satsanga in 2012, through her journey of forgiveness and learning to love herself, and has since become more and more involved with this expanding community. She brings an authentic, generous heart and a bhakti spirit, as well. As a profession, Roghini provides secretarial support, whereas her passion lies with dancing and exploring energy healing techniques. As a Satsanga Active Meditation Facilitator, she has found a calling to help empower woman to take control and reconnect with the Divine power within themselves through active meditation. She believes that anyone can find peace and create a life they love to live without limitations. "Satsanga is a place where you are loved as being you. A place I call home and people whom I call family." You can find Roghini helping to set up space for events, facilitating meditations and helping with Satsanga's social media. Roghini is one of those sisters you can approach with anything and she will always help within her capacity <3.
Sharanyaa De Laure
With a head for business and a heart for community, Sharanyaa is fearless in the pursuit of what sets her soul on fire. An entrepreneur with a passion for a colourful life, Sharanyaa is also a classically trained soprano and a certified facilitator of active meditations at Satsanga. She enjoys sharing her gifts with this community through song, laughter, bear hugs, dance, meditation and laddoos :-).
Skye Yeo
This vibrant angel joined Satsanga in 2013 and brings a radiant joy & enthusiasm to all Satsanga events, and sometimes is accompanied by her very own two little twin munchkins that add vibrancy to the Satsanga family! Skye is great with organization and helps with social media retreat announcements and event set up. She has a heart of gold and is always offering a thousand hands of help to those who need <3.
