Spring 2018 Update
January 10, 2018
Dear Sigma Zeta Friends:
Happy 2018!! Our 2018 National Convention is less than two months away – it's early this year - March 1-3, and will be hosted by the Beta Eta Chapter at Evangel University in Springfield, MO...
The faculty advisor of Beta Eta, Natasha DeVore, attended the Sigma Zeta Officers meeting in Denver in November and shared plans for a very exciting convention. Beta Eta has attended the last several conventions, so they have plenty of experience in the many activities that go into a successful convention. For the first time a convention host is offering a discount for early registration (by February 15). Registrations received after February 15 will cost an additional $5 per person. Early registration is critical for planning purposes by the host chapter. Please note that the deadline for abstract submission, nominations for Student Representative, and nominations for the Harold Wilkinson alumni recognition award are the same as for convention registration, February 15, and that nominees for the Student Representative office must attend the convention, where they will be asked to introduce themselves prior to voting. Nominations for the Founder's Cup and Chapter Honor awards must be submitted by the evening of the opening advisors/national officers meeting, Thursday, March 1.
As mentioned, the National Officers met November 4, 2017 in Denver, CO for their annual business meeting. The many excellent discussions at that meeting were highlighted by the awarding of a 16 student research awards, the second most awards ever given since Sigma Zeta began funding student research in 2011! Visit our website for a description of their research proposals. Congratulations to these young scientists! We hope to hear presentations about their research at the March 2018 or spring 2019 conventions. The day before the meeting, several of the national officers dropped by three universities in the Denver/Colorado Springs area to speak with faculty and administrators about our organization. These recruiting visits generated much interest, and one of the schools, Colorado Christian University in Lakewood, CO, submitted an application for charter membership which was approved by the national officers just before the holiday break! Colorado Christian will be joining the Sigma Zeta family on April 20, when their chartering ceremony is scheduled. Another potential new school, Santa Barbara City College in Santa Barbara, California is in the process of submitting an application. Unfortunately their application process and their entire academic calendar have been interrupted by the devastating fires and now mudslides near their campus. Please keep all those in southern California in your thoughts.
Included with the paper mailing of this letter is a copy of the rubric that judges will use to help choose the award winners for the best poster and oral presentation, and this rubric is also available at the Convention link at the website. Advisors, please distribute this rubric to your student presenters and their faculty mentors. Also enclosed with this letter and soon to be posted at the website is the 2018 Convention mileage allotment for each chapter, based on round trip mileage to Springfield, and calculated at the rate of $0.40/mile. Mileage has been determined using Google Maps. Check these amounts against your calculations and please contact me if you feel there is an error. The allotment listed is for 3-5 attendees. For 1-2 attendees, the reimbursement is the cost of travel, not to exceed the amount for 3-5 attendees. Double the amount listed for 6-10 attendees, triple the amount for 11-15, etc…. Mileage checks will be available at the convention.
All of the National Officers encourage your chapter to attend the convention to meet your colleagues from other chapters. These conventions are always a good combination of professional and social activities. We also encourage your chapter to consider nominating one of its members for the Honor Award, a graduated member for the Harold Wilkinson Alumni Recognition Award, and to consider nominating your chapter for the Founder's Cup award. Information and application procedures for all of these awards are found at the website.
A friendly reminder -- please do not delay in setting a firm deadline by which students who are eligible for membership and are interested should submit their names to their chapter advisor and pay their membership fees, followed quickly by the advisor submitting through the website or by emailing to the National Office the spread sheet with the new members, even if the installation ceremony isn't until near the end of the semester. The spread sheet on which new memberships are sent to the National Office (see website for spread sheet and instructions) allows the chapters to specify the date, so the actual date of the ceremony can be printed on the certificates, even if the order is processed weeks before.
- The National Office cannot guarantee timely delivery of certificate and jewelry requests received the last month or our semester (final exams begin on our campus May 4). Our campus has spring break the week of March 10-18, just a week after we return from the National Convention. The Easter Holiday, March 29-April 2, also interferes with processing orders, and then final exams begin a month later. The National Office will likely not be able to process certificate and jewelry orders after the administrative assistant, the only paid member of Sigma Zeta, finishes her year May 9. My schedule in the summer is not set at this point, so please don't count on orders being processed during the summer, which begins May 9.
- New orders will not be processed from chapters with an unpaid balance. Reminders will go out in the next couple of weeks to those few chapters which have unpaid balances.
- Please give the National Office a three week lead time on all orders.
Jim Hall, Executive Director

A place for English speaking sofrim (scribes), magihim (examiners), rabbis and vendors of Stam (Torah, Tefillin and Mezuzah scrolls) from around the world to communicate, share ideas, ask questions and offer support and advice.

Spanish Style Writing.
Attached are few pictures taken from a book ( אסופת כתבים עבריים מימי הביניים כרך ב כתב ספרדי) dated to Spain before the expulsion.
At that time, before the printing started Sofrim copied from another Torah or from a hand written Tikun. The same Sofrim That wrote the Tikun also wrote the Sefer Torahs. So we can learn on the style of the Ksuv from the Tikuns.
Also attached (first picture) scan of Shem Tov Eben Gaon own Ksuv Yad. (1300's spain)
3 comments:
"The same Sofrim That wrote the Tikun also wrote the Sefer Torahs. So we can learn on the style of the Ksuv from the Tikuns."ReplyDelete
I am a sofer sta"m. I am also a sofer gittin. I also write kesubahs and do other types of artistic calligraphy.
None of the above do I write in the same style of ksav, or even necessarily using the same materials.
Even with sta"m I can use different ksavim. I write ksav Ari, Beis Yosef, and Sefardi (vellish) and I would love to learn ksav Alter Rebbe.
I write sta"m and gittin with a feather, and do art and calligraphy with a feather, a bamboo quill, and/or with calligraphy markers/pens. I do calligraphy on different types of materials, ending up with different results depending on the type of writing material and the methods used.
So, even if it's true that the same people wrote sta"m and did copy work, we cannot bring any proofs from copy work as to how sta"m looked. Sta"m has to follow a strict set of guidelines to be kosher, while copy work just has to be readable. I see no reason why a copyist would work extra hard and spend much more time making his copy work look anything like his sta"m work, when there are simpler ways to write quickly for copy work.Replies
I have seeing many Sifrey Torah which are older than 500 years and it is very clear that there is a strong correlation between the general Square script to the STAM.Delete
I have a large collection of scans of very old Sifrey Torah which I will be happy to share.
There are also so many manuscripts available (many of them online) from the 10th century to the 15th century to compare.
I don't know why, but we can see that the scribes who wrote regular square script also wrote very similar script in Sifrey Torah.

Tuesdays with Dorie time again. This time, Vanilla Mango Panna Cotta. We decided to turn it instead into Vanilla Peach Panna Cotta because in our house peaches>mangoes. Also, rather than pureeing the peaches, as written in the recipe, we chopped them for a bit of a texture contrast to the creamy custard.
The recipe: Our second panna cotta of the summer. The first was a Giro food of the day. There is really nothing tricky about the recipe: heat milk and or cream and sugar and the flavorings of your choice and combine with gelatin. Chill in ramekins and eat.
The verdict: K says "I don't like panna cotta, but this is not bad." I'll have fun experimenting with other fruits and flavors throughout the year.
9 comments:
This definitely calls for some experimenting with various fruits :)ReplyDelete
Peaches would be great with this too, as would berries.ReplyDelete
I really loved this one. I'm already planning all the different fruit combinations that I'm going to try.ReplyDelete
I definitely agree that I would try this with other fruits, too!ReplyDelete
One thing I like about this recipe is the variations it allows. Peaches are good substitutions.ReplyDelete
The peach version sounds wonderful. There are so many ways to go with this recipe, especially now with all the fresh fruit available.ReplyDelete
Peaches = yum! Isn't it such an easy and flexible dessert? And rather healthy too, if one ignores the fat content and focuses on the calcium and fruit.:)ReplyDelete
I also plan to try this with peaches this season and love that you left them a bit chunky (I had thought that sounded like a great texture to the gelatin cream). Refreshing recipe and so happy to not turn on the oven !ReplyDelete
I agree that this will work with so many fruits and it's also easy to infuse flavours into the panna cotta itself. I'm with Tricia - any dessert with such minimal stove time and no oven time is welcome at this time of year.ReplyDelete

Here we see the British brigade deployed around the remains of the monastery of Saint-Cyr. 3 regular infantry and a unit of foot artillery.
The second French brigade arrives from reserve, and marches on the monastery.
|Battle lines are drawn
The British fail to organize the thin red line, and the first unit is disordered.
The French cavalry brigade arrives and starts a move on the British left flank.
French infantry columns march on swiftly, but don't deploy in line yet. In the next turn British artillery fire badly damages the front of the column, disordering the first unit.
The first British reinforcements arrive. The cavalry brigade deploys to relieve the center.
French cavalry prepares to charge the ruins.
Finally the third brigade arrives, the notoriously late Austrians.
Cavalry charges force the center units into squares. A head-on cavalry charge proves to be to much for the shaken square, which is destroyed.
Infantry charges the ruins, but the British defenders hold their ground.
The French cavalry turns their attention to center, where the British guns are destroyed by gunfire.
The Austrian brigade starts to threaten the French left flank, but their progress is slow.
French cuirassiers are destroyed batteling the British cavalry.
French hussars charge the British cavalry, chasing and destroying them.
Here we decided to end the game. The British had two broken brigades and the French were firmly in control of the monastery. We thought the FoW scenario worked really well. Next time we might try one of the others!

Our Story
"Don't live your life chasing money, because money won't buy you happiness. But live your life chasing your dreams and the happiness will follow."
Master brewer, Harald, has been brewing beer passionately for years, as his Austrian ancestors had done for centuries. After many years of perfecting his recipes Harald, with wife Barbara, decided to share his beer with everyone he could. They collaborated with long-time friends Mike, with 25+ years of experience in process manufacturing, and wife Liz. Pairing the perfect combination of skill, education and experience, delivering to you the most unique and highest quality brew possible. This was their dream.
The chase had begun as this well rounded team of experts set off on a dedicated journey to transform their dream into a reality. Hence; the Old Stump Brewing Co.™ was born!
We invite you to join our dream and let the happiness come forth.
I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer.
Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven! Thus, let us drink beer!
In a study, scientists report that drinking beer can be good for the liver. I'm sorry, did I say 'scientists'? I meant Irish people.
A quality pint makes the world a whole lot rosier, and we're not alone in feeling a little sentimental about the magical combination of hops, malts, yeast, and water.
Our Vision
Our vision is to re-create the turn of the century and industrial movement feel within the design of our tasting room, as well as the flavor of our beer. Through this design, the Old Stump Brewing Co.™ proudly offers not just an lively atmosphere and great tasting beer, but an experience we can share with our customers (new friends). Whether you're stopping in for a sampler-flight tasting, a growler fill or a keg purchase, Old Stump Brewing Co.™ provides an array of flavorful, handcrafted beer that will tantalize the taste buds of even the pickiest of palettes.

There follows my comments in regards to the petition for rulemaking change #4-605
I wish to express my support for this proposed rule change for exemption from registration.
I myself am an entrepreneur and have advised entrepreneurs for nearly 15 years. Over time, the economic environment for small business has changed dramatically.
For example, a decade ago, it effectively cost $1,000,000 for a technology startup to produce any amount of substantive code. Substantively expensive hardware coupled with proprietary development environments were hallmarks of a technology startup environment. Additionally, real estate costs for office space, including a usable internet connection could run in excess of $2,500+ per month. These components were further exacerbated by the needs for hosting and/or collocation space. These costs were the basics to merely DEVELOP a business offering — the process of execution and promotion simply piled on more expenses.
Today's environment could not be more different. Today, technology companies (particularly web service based companies) can be conceptualized, developed, tested and even deployed to tens of millions of customers at 1/10 the cost of 1999. This has coupled with a broader (and deeper) market understanding and participation in these products and investments by the general public. As such, a more facile mechanism is needed to allow early stage ventures to obtain limited amounts of funds in manageable amounts from individual investors.
For these reasons, I wholeheartedly support the petition for rulemaking as offered (file #4-605). I would offer 2 further comments:
Thank You.

What is my daily round?
- I am a consultant and have to make demos and presentations every week as well as to work on projects
- I have to run multiple virtual machines, most of them x64 based
- All VMs have to run on Hyper-V (I am working at Microsoft), I have many preinstalled VMs/vhd
- I need also client experience
- Working on laptop I want relevant power management
- Using of WiFi network as connectivity for my VMs
- The computer has to be domain joined
Where was the issue with Windows 7 (Enterprise)
- There was not an option to run x64 bit Hyper-V VMs on Windows 7
- I configured my laptop for dual boot with Windows Server 2008 R2 and Hyper-V role enabled – disadvantages:
- Often I have to switch (reboot) between Windows 7 and Server
- No sleep function on Windows server
- Could not use the WiFi network as external network for Hyper-V
A real business case
Waiting for boarding on Zagreb's airport I was writing a project document on my Windows 7 PC. I had to add a screenshot of tool for SharePoint 2010 (console app) which I developed during the build phase. Options:
- To reboot the laptop, run in server mode, start a VM, snap the tool and reboot back to 7 – Wow, awfully!
- To send the app (.exe) to friend, ask him to run the tool, to make a screen shot and return it back via E-mail – sounds better, right?
I choose the 2nd option!
Now, the solution!
Finally I am happy, Windows 8 is exactly what I want!
- My Hyper-V VMs work with no need of dual boot!
- I can use the wireless link in virtual network – could have a real working environment everywhere
- Could use dynamic memory and assign up to 8 virtual processors per VM (I have quad core Intel i7 with HT)
- Even on PC sleep, when a VM is powered on, it comes back again on wake up
- I can use all my other tools and apps when I work on VM, perfect!
Do not wait to improve your life, do it now!

Here we sit in the middle of the holiday season. The actual holidays are starting to fire for some while others the planning continues. Our state is still recovering from the hurricane so many are struggling with the daily life and just giving their children a happy holiday while others are trying to fit in a few minutes to volunteer or a few extra dollars to give. Clients are visiting my office with issues of child custody and where their children are going to spend time over the next few weeks. Many of you are going through your first post-divorce holiday. There seems to be a overwhelming feeling of busy and stress in the air.
I have helped many clients through this difficult time of year and know that you will be ok. Here are some ideas to get you through this rough time.
Stay within your budget:
Gift giving for your children is not a competition with your ex-spouse or any of your family members. Make a commitment to give within your means. It will be less stressful for you now and, more importantly in January as you won't have to face a stack of bills.
Establish new Traditions:
This is a time of acceptance as you move into your post-divorce life. While your day-to-day has changed immensely, so have some of your annual events. Make sure to mark your new life with different traditions both involving your children and also just for yourself. Take a trip to NYC to see the tree at Rockefeller Center and visit the windows on 5th Avenue. Bake cookies or decorate gingerbread houses. Go out for a special meal or exchange presents at a different time than in the past.
Do not look back:
It is very tempting to spend time looking back and wallowing a bit in what went wrong with your marriage. You may receive holiday cards from friends and families with in-tact families and wonder how that is not longer you. You may also be missing your ex-spouse. Experiencing this range of thoughts and emotions is not only normal, but expected. While hard, when those thoughts arise, practice pushing them away. Look forward and practice mapping out your perfect future. If you need help getting through this time, you might want to consider enlisting the help of a mental health professional.
Plan…plan…and then plan some more: I leave this for last because it so essential. I have this great saying I always use "plan your work, work your plan." The three major issues above can be planned for well before you need to deal with them in crisis mode. And it is never too late to start planning. Get a realistic understanding of your financial picture and shop within your budget. Start researching and planning time for new traditions with your children. Work on yourself by making sure you have support around you and acknowledge that the holidays may be a tough time to get through this year.
Of course, as we approach 2013 you may need legal support to work out support payments and even child custody arrangements with your co-parent / ex-spouse. Hire an expert New Jersey divorce attorney to put the necessary legal supports.

GORDON BROWN, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, said recent events proved that the world was in the new global age –- a world "not simply in transition, but transformation, with change more far-reaching than anything we have seen in our lifetimes". A unique point in time had been reached, and the challenges, opportunities and risks now met at the "global crossroads" of the United Nations.
In next two decades, the world economy would double in size, which, in turn, would double the potential for jobs and prosperity, he said. While extraordinary promise awaited, there were also new insecurities and pressures, as seen in the first real financial crisis and first real resource crisis of this new age. The twin shocks of a global credit crunch and soaring commodity prices "led straight to the front door of every family in every country". The global nature of the crises meant that they would not be resolved by nations working in isolation, rather, only by acting together.
The immediate priority was to fairly help people cope with difficult times, he said, adding that in the United Kingdom, the Government was supporting people with the costs of gas and electricity, supporting homeowners, and helping people acquire the skills for jobs.
If anything was to be learned, it was that the world was more interconnected than ever, and as such, solutions must be coordinated, he said. All must be done to stabilize turbulence and rebuild the financial system around clear principles. In the short term, each country was taking action, and the United States deserved support as it sought to agree "in detail" what all parties agreed "in principle". Meanwhile, the United Kingdom had taken action to protect investors and had introduced a temporary ban on short-selling; injected "billions" into the market, and extended its special liquidity scheme.
Confidence in the future was needed, and there were five principles around which to unite, he stressed, highlighting first the need for transparency and the rapid introduction of improved international accounting standards and disclosure. Second, he called for sound banking practice, and more effective regulation that examined both solvency and liquidity.
There must also be responsibility, he said, so that no member of senior management could say they did not understand the risks, and integrity, so that companies could align rewards with stability and long-term gain. Advice between credit rating agencies and the interests of investors should also be aligned. Finally, oversight must be global, which was why he supported the creation of international colleges for each of the largest global financial institutions, with 30 due by year-end.
International institutions created in the aftermath of the Second World War had not kept pace with the changing global economy, he continued, underscoring the need for international capital movements to be transparent. "The age of irresponsibility must be ended," he added. However, global action must also address the scramble for resources, and only by making tough decisions on energy security and climate change, and bringing together a new global partnership of oil producers and consumers, could stability be brought to energy markets.
While the United Kingdom was committed to tackling climate change, oil would meet a "large part" of global energy needs for decades to come. States must consider whether the institutional architecture could bring about more transparent energy markets. He planned to host a global energy summit in London to agree on areas for further action.
Continuing, he said only by helping Africa become a net exporter rather than importer of food, could the world see an end to high food prices. On trade, he called for restarting negotiations, removing trade barriers and trade-distorting subsidies, which cost developing countries $15 billion a year. "Now is not the time to pull up the drawbridge," he declared.
On other international issues, he said the United Nations must help the next Government of Israel build on the foundations of current talks to agree on a two-State solution, which guaranteed Israel's security and gave Palestinians a viable State. In Cyprus, there was a real chance of settlement. On Afghanistan, he said that only when the Government could deny land to Al-Qaida, and its associates, would the international community have done its job.
On the Sudan, he said that, while United Nations peacekeepers helped keep the fragile North-South peace agreement in place, Darfur remained "a disaster", and it was up to the Government to create conditions for the conflict to end. Finally, he called for supporting democracy and human rights in Zimbabwe, saying also, that now would be the worst time to "turn our back on the Millennium Development Goals".

Even if floating point is nowadays the typical way to do your math, there is still situations where fixed point math is still relevant. I held a seminar about this topic at the Assembly'2006 event.
Note that the link below points now to a revised version of the slides. I noticed that in slide 26 I had inadvertently written "b > 0" and "b < 0" when it should read "|b| > 1.0″ and "|b| < 1.0", respectively.
I have also been asked why there's rounding when converting fixed point numbers from real numbers, but not when converting to integer numbers. Conversion to and from integers is typically best left at simple shift operation, as then the operation is lossless so you can freely convert them back and forth. Convert from a real number typically loses accuracy, so in typical case you probably want to minimize the error. The need to round also varies case by case, so you should think if you want to do it or not.
Note also that the included square root code is actually the version from the Graphics Gems V, not the one from the mentioned Apple Technical Report (there's minor difference). If you didn't notice, the quoted form of code copes with 2.30 fixed point numbers, so you probably need to adjust the FRACBITS value to match with your code.

Hello everyone,
Can I just start by saying what a strange few days I have had. This weekend has been a busy one, as I have been away working with my tarot cards and trying to earn some extra pennies.
It had been planned for months, and this was to be an enjoyable weekend where nothing was going to get in the way of some fun and learning.
And, this is when it started. The guilt !!!
I was going away and leaving them, left at home to it. All on their own, without me. How would they cope. Now normally in our house it is my hubby who goes away for a few days a month with work, and when he goes he never looks back, takes his bag and off he goes. Waving merrily until he returns with a Honey I'm home a few days later.
He never feels the guilt, he just leaves me to it and I carry on regardless.
So this is my main question tonight, why do some of us feel the guilt and others don't. Is it a female thing or does it apply to the men too. I can't answer that one as am not a bloke but I do wonder from what I have seen.
Friday morning I left home bright and early with a long day ahead, carrying out a couple of reiki healings which was fine and all went well, but, my darling hubby had said I could use his car for the long drive as it is more comfortable and powerful on the motorway than mine. Which I thought at the time was really nice of him, he even had it valeted, which is saying something as he doesn't bestow a lot of time on looking after it and keeping it clean. So as you can imagine I felt pretty honoured.
Well it got to about 4.30 and time to set off, and I can tell you the shakes set in and the mind took over. It was like a greyhound out of the starting gates. Oh my goodness what if I crash it, what if it gets scratched, but worse than that what if it gets stolen!!! How dare I leave him with my little banger to have to drive around, why should I have the comfort for the weekend.
I am the only one that thinks like this??? Why do we have times when the mind takes over and we become totally bonkers over it all.
Now remember I haven't even set off yet. But worse than that I suddenly realise I have all this panic running round in my head over a piece of metal that carries a Skoda badge and is at least 7 years old. It's insured so if anything goes wrong its covered. It's not an Astin Martin or Masseratti that is worth stealing, it's a Skoda. How stupid do I feel now. I am sat stationary in the car laughing at myself by this point. If anyone had walked past and seen me they would have thought I had really lost the plot.
All this just because I am going off to spend a couple of days doing something that I enjoy. Something for me, where I am meeting new people from across the world and learning something new. FOR ME.
And it doesn't include them.
Why do we struggle with doing something for ourselves?
Why can't we not say no when someone asks us to do something for them and we clearly can't or don't want to.
What is wrong with us, why do we put everyone else before ourselves.
Why is it more important to make others happy and not ourselves.
As you can guess I have had a bit of a revelation this weekend. Maybe that's a good thing, maybe it's not, time will tell.
If you are one of the lucky ones that can honestly say they have never felt guilt over anything please will you have a word and let me know your secret please.
So after giving myself a bit of a wake up call, off I go. Simon Mayo on the radio to listen to, the windows down and a bit of fresh air coming in and all is going well until I hit the A65 and the brain takes over again.
Did I leave enough milk? Will he be able to sort himself out with something to eat, will he look after himself properly
Does he have enough clothes clean, will he remember to pay the window cleaner, on and on it went, round and round in my head. I could feel myself nagging him to remember all of this from a distance, it was ridiculous. But it just wouldn't stop.
The really funny thing is he did over 20 years service in the army and can cook better than I can and certainly knows how to look after himself better than I could.
What the heck was wrong with me. Guilt at leaving him, that's all.
Does anyone have episodes like this or is it just me!!!
By the time I arrived a couple of hours later I had sorted myself out and thought, do you know what. Blow it, I am going to enjoy this weekend, even if it kills me. I have been with my hubby 28 years, if he can't sort himself out now, he never will.
I thoroughly enjoyed having breakfast made for me, and a few drinks in the bar talking about things that I enjoy with people who I had something in common with.
It was such a brilliant weekend that I am sure another one will be planned very soon.
I would like to leave you with a sentence I found on the internet today. Guilt is a supreme waste of time and energy.
So next time you have feelings of guilt creeping in, just remember those words.

Well I thought I'd better show off some more of my most recent designs. They are all currently for sale at my etsy store, pinna4piper.
The first is a gorgeous little kaftan style top that I have made using a beautifully kept vintage linen tea cloth. It has turn out so well.
Then there is a couple of pairs of shorts using fabric from two of my favourite designers, Pamela Walker ( the hippo shorts ) and Amy Butler.
Pamela Walker had this range of fabric out in the 1970's and Sprout Design have very wisely recreated her designs.
Hope you enjoy !!

The design for the ASU Polytechnic transformed a decommissioned airbase into an inviting pedestrian campus that celebrates the desert landscape and creates a new identity for the program. By segmenting the 245,000-sq-ft program into five buildings, the architects formed four landscaped courtyards linked by a series of portals and arcades, creating a cohesive pedestrian campus.
The three largest buildings turn their long sides to the east and west protecting the courtyards and open-air atria from the monsoon driven rain and desert dust. These shady, open air atria provide environmentally sensitive social spaces that maximise visibility, daylighting, and the sense of community while minimising energy usage.
By removing 14 acres of asphalt and concrete and transforming it into a desert landscaped mall, storm water is slowed, captured in smaller detention basins throughout the new mall and in turn, used to nourish the desert landscaping. The strategy minimises the load on the existing storm water detention basin, but more importantly, it establishes a beautiful indigenous landscape as the heart of the new campus.
Flexibility and growth were central considerations. Consequently, the design relies on simple well-lit classrooms configured around a repetitive 30' x 30' module. Utilities and duct chases are located within the atria allowing the interior space to remain unobstructed, facilitating future reconfiguration. The use of a locally manufactured desert tough material palette and expressed building systems are both costeffective and responsive to the desert context.
Purposeful environmental strategies such as narrow building sections, shading devices and solar orientation allow 90% of the spaces to be eff ectively daylit, reduce thermal loads and contribute to its LEED Gold rating. The designs materiality, environmental and architectural strategies lead to an identity that is unique to its place and expressive of the Polytechnic's identity. The entire project, from master plan to construction start, was designed in seven months.

Zombicide: Black Plague Survivors 01
Next up is the human Wizard called Baldric. It is hard not to associate such a named character with the oafish, Baldrick from the Blackadder TV series, but note the different spelling of his name. Rather appropriately, Baldric's starting Skill is Spellcaster, which grants him a free Action per Turn, which may only be used for a Magic Action or Enhancement Action. I usually find in my games of Zombicide: Black Plague that Baldric almost always kills the most Zombies in a game. Magic is very powerful!
This being a fantasy setting, other races apart from humans exist. Samson is a dwarf blacksmith with a deep hatred of the Zombie scourge. As befits the archetypal dwarf fighter, he is very tough and tenacious. His starting Skill is Iron Hide, which allows him to make armour rolls with a 5+ Armour value, even when he does not wear an Armour item on his body slot. Wearing Armour, Samson adds 1 to the result of each die he rolls for Armour rolls. The maximum result will always be 6.

A nice looking group of characters. I do have mixed feelings about the fantasy setting but as it stands |I am thinking why not?ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Clint. I still think there is more that Guillotine Games could do with their contemporary setting - a military option readily springs to mind. But the fantasy setting works just as well, and the fantasy rules have been better thought out than the original contemporary rules. The company is clearly learning.Delete
Top painting Bryan!! What a great idea, setting the game in another century, I'm sure gamers will want the Dark Ages/Medieval zombies!ReplyDeleteReplies
Cheers, Ray. Actually, it seems that gamers have mixed feelings about this setting. Some love it, some hate it and some just don't get the whole fascination of zombie apocalypse gaming!Delete
One of my fave Vampifan postings of the year, without a doubt!! Terrific painting Bryan. Clovis is particularly colourful imho, and you've really managed to pick out each sculpts' detail with great aplomb!! Highly inspirational stuff my friend, and a pleasure to view :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
Big praise indeed, Simon. Many thanks. I think you'll really like this series of posts I'm planning for "Zombicide: Black Plague". I seem to have neglected it for far too long.Delete
Very nice Bryan! Great looking sculpts to!ReplyDeleteReplies
Many thanks, Simon.Delete
Nice figs dudeReplyDelete
Lovely painting as usual Bryan, and very much "of your style", I like the idea of fantasy zombies and some of the sculpts look gorgeous (the two unpainted zombie ladies at the bottom of Mr Awdrys latest post for instance). Really looking forward to seeing this develop on you blog.ReplyDelete
Cheers Roger.Replies
Many thanks, Roger. This is just the start of what will be a long review of this wonderful expansion set. Stay tuned!Delete
A fairly standard set of fantasy character archetypes, right? I do prefer these "traditional" types over some of the weirder, more modern characters (what exactly *is* a "dragonborn windrider", anybody?)ReplyDelete
Zombies as portrayed in popular culture are a very modern invention, but I don't see any reason why they cannot be transported back in time to other settings. If necessary, just call them "plague victims" or something like that...Replies
Thanks, Hugh. I'm with you on the naming of weird character types. Let's call a spade, a spade and not some fancy name.Delete
Zombies will fit in anywhere, any place and anytime, in my humble opinion.
Very nice, Bryan. I was a bit miffed I missed the Black Plague kickstarter, as the genre and style does appeal to me. Sort of Mordheim for the current generation. This might've one I might invest in.ReplyDeleteReplies
Cheers, Jez. I can certainly see the figures from this set being used in games like Mordheim or Frostgrave, for example.Delete
Glad to see someone's been painting these. They look great Bryan.ReplyDeleteReplies
Many thanks, Roger. I thoroughly enjoyed painting them.Delete

Looks great, boss!
One little problem with your dropships, tho: The red and green "running lights". You've got them backwards. It's " Red Right Receiving", so looking at them head on the red light should be on the right and the green light on the left.
Just, y'know, thought you'd want to know... You being a Kiwi and all, I thought you were all sailors... That's what I was told when I was down there and you'd nicked the America's Cup... bastards...

A book-burning in 2010? Well, it's nice to know there are some religious traditions that are still alive and well.
At a time when America seems to be losing ground, we've found a contest we can win: religious crazies. For years, we've assumed the world's loopiest extremists came from the Middle East. But with Pastor Terry Jones' threat to burn a pile of Qurans on September 11, America is back. Our religious crazies are every bit as loopy as their religious crazies! This guy is so ready to rumble, even a military fetishist like Sarah Palin couldn't sign on with him…and this is a woman whose own pastor (Pastor Muthee) persecuted a "witch" back in his home country of Kenya for causing a rise in traffic accidents. That's a whole lot of crazy. Even Newt Gingrich, who is so ripe for a war with Islam he's ready to resurrect the Templar Knights, has denounced the stunt. (Too obvious, I guess.) But Pastor Jones and his single-digit congregation have topped them both.
Of course, book-burning is hardly limited to religious wingnuts like the Florida pastor. Plenty of secular book-burners litter our history—Chinese Emperor Shih Huang Ti, Caligula, Robespierre, Stalin, and of course the Nazis. But book-burning has a particularly religious ring to it, and for no small reason. "The will of God" is one of history's most frequent rationales for using literature as a fuel source. Sadly, burning Qurans fits right in with a couple thousand years of religious tradition. Check the chronology below.
Rather than rise above all this, religions too often fan the flames and even ignite the spark. The media, the clergy, and other polite company act as if book-burning were always a perversion of "real" religion, which is always redefined to include the nice stuff and conveniently ignore the nasty stuff. What the history shows is that book-burning is the pastime of authoritarians, and since religions are authoritarian by nature (unelected wise men dictate the rules and run the show), whenever churches get up a head of steam, some of their more ardent cheerleaders jump the shark.
There is also the fact that monotheistic religions are in the business of saying, "Here's the Truth. If you're not on board, you're part of the problem." It literally demonizes the opposition and regards compromise with non-believers as sinister. Alien beliefs are seen as an existential threat. All this tends to rev people up and, once the other guys are successfully labeled "Evil," it's easy to toss another holy book on the barbie.
The big irony, of course, is that if the Quran burning happened, offensive and despicable as it would be, it would be a demonstration of America's freedom of expression, as opposed to most church-inspired burnings, which were condemnations of free thought. Lucky us. In America, any loose screw can become a star. And while nowdays most people of faith despise the idea of burning books, we can't forget where we've been on this issue. To wit:
A Partial List of Religious Book Burnings:
168 BC: Seleucid monarch Antiochus IV, the Greek general ruling Jerusalem, had Jewish books of law torn into pieces and burned. [1 Maccabees 1:56]
ca. AD 50: Flavius Josephus, the great Roman historian, reports that a Roman soldier seized a Torah scroll and publically burned it. This incident almost caused a Jewish revolt, and Roman Procurator Cumanus appeased the populace by publically hanging the book-burner.
ca. AD 50: Pagans converted to Christianity allegedly burned their own books. "And a number of those who practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all;" [Acts 19:19]
AD 303-311: Emperor Diocletian, contrary to the tradition of pagan tolerance, ordered official persecutions of Christians and the burning of their books.
AD 325: The books of a priest named Arius were burned in the years following the Council of Nicaea because his ideas about the divinity of Jesus were determined to be heretical.
AD 364: Jovian, a Christian Emperor of Rome, had the Library of Antioch burned after it had been stocked by an aide to his non-Christian predecessor, Emperor Julian.
AD 383: Theologian Priscillian of Ávila was the first person to be executed by fellow Christians as a heretic. Many of his writings were condemned and burned.
ca. AD 400: The utterances of the pagan oracle Sibylline were burned by Flavius Stilicho, a Christian general.
400s: The Etruscan books of worship and divination, the Etrusca Disciplina, were collected and burned.
435: Archbishop of Constantinople, Nestorius, had views of the Virgin Mary considered heretical. An edict by Byzantine Emperor Theodosius II got Nestorius exiled, and his works were burned in many countries.
650: Uthmān ibn 'Affān, the third Caliph of Islam after Muhammad, established an "official" version of the Quran and ordered the burning of all other versions.
1085: No sooner did the Christian Crusaders drive the Muslims out of Toledo, Spain in 1085, then they fought over which religious rite they should follow: the more traditional Mozarabic rite, or the foreign Roman rite. The issue was settled in a trial by fire—a book from each rite was tossed into flames. The Mozarabic book won.
1121: The provincial synod at Soissons, France, condemned the teachings of Peter Abelard, a famous forward-thinking theologian. He was made to burn his own book, Theologia, because of his controversial ideas.
1239: Pope Gregory IX persuaded French King Louis IX to burn some 12,000 copies of the Talmud in Paris in 1243. He wouldn't be the last.
1242: After being charged and being found "guilty," 24 wagonloads of the Talmud were burned in Paris.
13th century: According legend, a dispute between St. Dominic and the heretical Albigensians (Cathars) climaxed when both sides threw their books into a fire and St. Dominic's was miraculously preserved. (See the Berruguete painting above; the book is floating above the fire.)
1382: Oxford theologian John Wycliffe, and his colleagues, first translated the Bible from the Latin into English. Many in the Church didn't like the idea Scripture being available in colloquial languages.
1410: Wycliffe's books were burned by the Archbishop of Prague, Zbyněk Zajic z Házmburka, in the court of his palace in Lesser Town of Prague. The archbishop was illiterate.
1415: John Hus, who preached against the Church's selling of indulgences, was a fan John Wycliffe's work. Hus was excommunicated and sentenced to burn at the stake. One version of the story says that his books were the kindling. Another says that on the way to his execution, he was led past a bonfire of his books.
1490s: The Spanish Inquisition, under grand inquisitor Tomás de Torquemada, burned a number of Hebrew Bibles and other Jewish books (along with a lot of heretics), and the Archbishop of Toledo, Ximénez de Cisneros, had some 5000 Arabic manuscripts set aflame in the public square at Granada.
1497/8: Girolamo Savonarola, one of Europe's most pious pains in the ass during the Renaissance, launched the Bonfire of the Vanities, cheerleading the burning of everything that offended his religious sensibilities, which included fashion accessories, musical instruments, and classic artworks. He ended up on the business end of a stake-burning himself. Nobody seems to miss him.
1522: John Calvin, the great Protestant reformer, had as many copies of the Servetus Bible burned because he didn't approve of it.
1526: William Tyndale translated the Bible from the original Hebrew and Greek into vernacular English. His Bibles were accused of containing many errors and propaganda, and they were ceremonially burned, as we he after being strangled to death. The Great Bible and The King James Bible is based on his work.
1553, 1568: More public burnings of the Talmud.
1562: Sacred books of the Maya were thrown into fires by Fray Diego de Landa, the acting bishop of the Yucatan, in Mexico. Missionaries to the New World destroyed just about all Mayan writings.
1624: The Pope ordered the burning of Martin Luther's translation of the Bible into German, which were printed by Gutenberg himself.
1650: America's first documented book-burning was a pamphlet by William Pynchon of colonial Massachusetts. It was nabbed by Puritan authorities who condemned it and had it burned in the Boston Common by the public executioner.
1873: The Comstock Law, which outlawed the delivery or transportation of "obscene, lewd, or lascivious" material (including books on birth control and human anatomy) was the victory of Anthony Comstock—a US postal inspector, politician, and promoter of Victorian morality. Some 15 tons of books, printing plates, and photographs were destroyed during his career.
1940s: Joe Stalin had the Judaica collection in the library of Birobidzhan, capital of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast on the Chinese border, to be burned.
1948: Religious leaders, along with parents and teachers, supervised the burning of some 2000 comic books by children in Binghamton, New York and Spencer, West Virginia.
1953: Senator Joseph McCarthy pressured the State Department to remove material by any controversial persons, Communists, or fellow travelers from all their overseas libraries. Some of them were burned.
1981: Sinhalese police officers burned the public library of Jaffna, northern Sri Lanka. It was the second largest library in Asia.
1981: The New Living Bible was burned in Gastonia, North Carolina on the claim that it was "a perverted commentary of the King James version" of the Bible.
1989: Copies of Salmon Rushdie's The Satanic Verses were burned by Muslims at Bolton and Bradford in the UK, and on other occasions.
1990s: Congregants of the Full Gospel Assembly in Grande Cache, Alberta, Canada, burned books seen as in opposition to God's will.
2001: Islamic fundamentalists pressured Egypt's Ministry of Culture to burn 6,000 books of homoerotic poetry by Abu Nuwas.
2000s: Because they include witchcraft and magic, Harry Potter books have seen staged burnings by churches in Alamogordo, New Mexico, Charleston, South Carolina, and Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
"Where they burn books, so too will they in the end burn human beings." --Heinrich Heine, 1821

Hair growth products are everywhere, but unfortunately the majority of them ineffective at best. Even real FDA approved medications don't work on all people, have side effects, and won't make your hair grow faster. There is good news though. Medications like Rogaine and Propecia can help to prevent hair loss, and may even help some hair to grow back where you've already lost it. Additionally, certain vitamins are necessary for hair growth and if you're not getting enough of them in your diet than supplements can help.
If you're seriously concerned about your hair loss, see our sections on hair loss causes, prevention, and treatment. The only guaranteed way to grow your hair back is through surgery, which is a serious step you should discuss with your physician.
You should be very careful about using miraculous hair growth products you find on the internet or advertised in magazines. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. There are rumors about Chinese potions and Aryuvedic medicine that can grow hair fast, but you should consider that if there really was a potion guaranteed to grow hair fast, it would be all over the news and the makers would be wealthy. Everyone would be using it. Some of these potions are actually dangerous, as they claim to block estrogen, increase testosterone, or have toxic ingredients. At best, many of these fraudulent products will be a waste of your hard earned money.
One exception to all the fraudulent "natural products" for hair growth is saw palmetto. Saw palmetto was used by Native Americans to treat urinary symptoms, and similar to Propecia it has been shown to block the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT, the hormone that causes male pattern baldness. It's widely used in Europe as a treatment for benign prostate gland enlargement, and works well to prevent further hair loss and potentially regrow hair in recently balding areas of the scalp. Saw palmetto can be taken orally or externally applied to the scalp. As with Propecia you should be careful only to apply saw palmetto to the area of your scalp you want hair to grown to avoid an increase in unwanted facial hair.

Time off could be good for middling Lions QB
Two years ago, losing Travis Lulay would have been viewed as a deathblow to the hopes of the BC Lions, but in 2013, it could be a blessing in disguise.
Whether it's CFL defenses figuring him out, a few too many miles on the tires or a lack of help from both the line and his receiving corps, it's been a year to mostly forget for Travis Lulay.
He hasn't been horrible, but he's not the Most Outstanding Player candidate he was in 2011, and taking a week off might not be the worst thing in the world for a Lions team seemingly stuck in third place.
Like so many other times this year, it was the Lions' defense that won the game for BC against the Montreal Alouettes on Sunday. Aside from a scintillating 58-yard pass that Lulay tossed to Courtney Taylor, there was pretty much more bad than good from No. 14 against the Als.
Lulay threw three picks and fumbled the ball once, and it was thanks to the Lions' D that Montreal failed to capitalize on those mistakes. He then banged up his shoulder late in the game while scrambling, but Thomas DeMarco stepped in and looked pretty good in his limited action.
Giving DeMarco — or newly acquired Buck Pierce — a start or two wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Thomas DeMarco was fine against the Als, leading a 47-yard touchdown drive, and he looked completely comfortable running the offense.
Another benefit to giving Lulay a rest is that it could jump-start the team's rushing game. Andrew Harris had one of his best games of the season on the ground with 68 yards rushing on 13 carries, and I'd like to see him get a few more opportunities if Lulay is out for any period of time.
I think Lulay resting could also be a great opportunity for him to get together with Buck Pierce and try to work something new into his repertoire. Pierce has been around the CFL for years, he knows the tricks of the trades and he knows CFL defences. Lulay could use this time to pick the vet's brain (or what's left of it after all the concussions) and try to work his way out of this mini-slump he's been mired in for most of 2013.
Having Lulay heal up for the playoffs is another silver lining to the injury. The Lions play in Regina (never easy) and then Winnipeg, so getting Lulay fresh for the next home date wouldn't be the worst option. The Bombers are a complete joke, so unless DeMarco completely flops against the Riders, it would be a good chance for him to get in some reps and let Lulay recover.
The playoffs are all that matter, and the Lions have all but clinched a spot. It's now a matter of trying their best to stay healthy, grab a home playoff date and allow their No. 1 quarterback to round himself back into form.
The games always seem to matter more in the fall, and the Lions will have their hands full in the coming weeks, either with or without Lulay.

Admiral James Loy, head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), says his agency and the FAA are taking another look at more than a dozen temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) set up in the name of national security shortly after the September 11 terrorist attacks. That follows an AOPA request.
In a June 26 letter, Loy said the two agencies are "conducting a thorough audit" of the 16 TFRs AOPA asked be rescinded "to ensure that they are protecting the public in an efficient, cost-effective manner." AOPA had argued that, with the end of the war in Iraq and the phase-out of Operation Liberty Shield, they were no longer necessary.
"Admiral Loy has shown a real willingness to listen to the concerns of general aviation," said AOPA President Phil Boyer. "We don't always get what we want, but Admiral Loy always gives us due consideration."
Two of the 16 have already been rescinded (Whiteman AFB, Knob Noster, Mo., and Red River Army Depot, Texarkana, Texas), along with a third that was not on AOPA's original list, in the Class E airspace over Valdez, Alaska.
In his letter to Boyer, Loy said, "Let me assure you that the TSA is aware of the distinct needs of general aviation owners and operators." And he says his agency is willing "to work with general aviation owners, operators, and associations to ensure that aviation security standards respond to the special needs of the general aviation industry."
The letter notes that the audits are continuing. "We'll keep you posted," Loy added in a handwritten note at the bottom.
"We look forward to TSA's findings," said Boyer. "But more than that, we look forward to the day when these near-permanent restrictions are finally rescinded."

28 October, 2013
Euro left its consolidation channel upwards. We think, today the price may continue growing up to reach the level of 1.3874, which is a local target of this ascending impulse. Later, in our opinion, the pair may fall down to test the level of 1.3700 from above, form another ascending structure towards the level of 1.3880, and then start a more serious correction.
Pound is still consolidating; the market has formed the right part of diamond pattern. We think, today the price may break the pattern upwards and continue growing up. In this case, this ascending structure will be considered as the central part of another pattern from the daily chart. The target of this central part is at the level of 1.6475.
Franc is still forming a descending structure with the target at 0.8880. We should note that the market moved below the level of 0.9024 by forming a continuation pattern and is not expected to reach its local target before completing this descending structure. The pair may form correctional structures, but they are expected to be short ones and considered to be continuation structures. We think, today the price may continue falling down towards the above-mentioned target, return to the level of 0.9024, and then form another structure to reach a new minimum.
The USD/JPY currency pair is consolidating again and trying to form divergent triangle pattern. We think, today the price may fall down to reach the target at 96.25. However, even the fact, that the market is expanding this consolidation channel upwards, doesn't change the main scenario and the price may continue forming the fifth wave of another descending structure.
Australian Dollar is still moving downwards. We think, today the price may continue falling down and complete the first wave of the descending correction. The target is at 0.9500. Later, in our opinion, the pair may return to the level of 0.9620 and then continue falling down towards the target at 0.9230.
Gold is trying to continue pushing the price upwards, but hasn't been able to form a continuation pattern so far. That's why the main scenario implies that the price may continue forming the fifth wave with the target at the level of 1195. We think, today the price may form a descending impulse, consolidate for a while, and then form a reversal pattern to continue falling down.

The euro dollar currency is trading with a decline today. The channel of the fourth component of growth is breaking through. The next step is the fifth with a target at the level of 1.0752. Next, we consider the possibility of the correction returning to the level of 1.0900...
