Stockholm (NordSIP) – Robert Rubinstein (pictured) has been running the worldwide conference and impact foundation TBLI, which stands for "Tripple Bottom Line Investing" for more than 20 years. NordSIP had a chance to catch up with Rubinstein and find out how the impact space has evolved and what investors need to focus on right now.
Pushing the pain buttons
Having started his entrepreneurial career in the publishing business, in the 1990s, Rubinstein set his mind on creating an economy based upon wellbeing. "I realised that I needed to have the business community on board, but that they would only respond to pain. So, I looked at what pain buttons I could press to get the attention of those business leaders behind the idea of profits and principles," Rubinstein explains. "The three pain buttons that I found to be effective were finance, personnel and reputation. I studied these three pressure points and chose finance."
"In the mid-nineties, I looked at the concentration of assets globally. I found out that if I only focused on the top 100 asset owners and managers, I could achieve the maximum impact with the least effort. By aggregating the assets of those top 100, I saw that they had direct or indirect control over 20 to 25% of worldwide assets. If only I could convince 100 guys!"
"By using an international conference on ESG and impact investing, I could help educate this group of investment allocators. For the next 25 years, I continually engaged with large institutional investors to educate them about ESG and Impact Investing. But it takes time to teach farming to hunters! And the financial sector mainly consists of hunters incentivised for short-term behaviour," Rubinstein exclaims.[Read More]

Stepping Up Her Start-up With SoilCyclers
Alison Price is the founder and Managing Director of SoilCyclers Pty Ltd – a mobile soil recycling and amelioration specialist for the construction, waste and mining industries.
While the business started as a means to give Alison's husband and his former boss something to do, it has grown to become a full-scale operation with offices, a lot of specialised gear and staff who work on some of the largest projects in Queensland. Having undergone rapid growth in the last eight years, SoilCyclers are on track to become one of Australia's largest soil recyclers, processing half a million cubic metres of soil in 2017.
With the launch of a new product, Alison decided it was time to bring an investor on board and ensure they could meet the expected demand. She successfully applied for a sponsored place at the Virgin Startup StepUp Program.
Alison joined 30 other business owners in London for the two-day program earlier this year and shared some insights from the experience.
What are some of the competitive advantages of your business, SoilCyclers?
By testing and ameliorating additives to existing site soil, SoilCyclers make quality topsoil for around half the price of imported topsoil. This also delivers huge environmental benefits such as diverting soil from landfill and minimising truck movements on roads.

Latanya + Camille
Read Their Love Story!
LaTanya and Camille's Happily Ever
Our Love Story isn't much different from anyone else but it is definitely different for us. Where do I begin? I guess from the beginning. I was coming out of a bad marriage and decided to get into the dating field whilst waiting to finalize the divorce. The dating scene has changed for now it is all internet based. So, I said let me give this a try. Hmmmm….to no avail that wasn't going to well at all and I all but threw in the towel with dating, relationships and starting enjoying my life single again. There is no better love than self love and learning to appreciate life so one could truly appreciate me for me was the goal. So, I began going on dates with myself, pampering myself, and having a grand old time.
Now, in the far away land of Philadelphia (I am a Baltimore Gal), Tanya was coming out of a three year relationship that she tried to make work but when you are with someone that you gave your all too and they didn't appreciate it . She wasn't dating anyone and her good friend mentioned POF to her as a means to meeting someone. It was Tanya's birthday weekend and she decided to head to DC to see if she could meet someone in my area since her hometown wasn't treating her that well. It appears we had the same idea but I didn't make it out that weekend to D.C. for I was at a gathering and didn't want to leave. Well, to no avail she didn't meet anyone so she signed up for POF.
In my world, Keisha said "Camille have you tried POF again" and I kindly stated "Hell, no those women are crazy and as a matter of fact let me delete my profile." I logged on to delete my profile and Tanya had sent me a few messages. It did take a while but I did respond. We chatted for a while via POF and eventually led to phone conversations for endless hours. Tanya made me laugh, laugh, and laugh. We just clicked with our similar relationship woes and what we wanted in one. Though, we are total opposite it felt so right.
Two weeks later, we went on our first date here in Baltimore and I have never been on a date like that in my life. Well, she couldn't cross the barrier of my son to the threshold for he was manning the door to get the first impression. It was so refreshing to be with someone that didn't judge me and truly wanted to get to know me as I wanted to get to know each other. I knew from the start that I was made for her and she was made for me. It didn't take long for me to express that but she was a little hesitant due to heartaches of the past. Eventually, we became a couple and knew that we will marry one day. She is my everything and I am her everything. Not to mention, she has passed the family check here in Maryland, Georgia and even with my children. A breath of fresh air that I have been waiting for and I am hers. We can finish each other's sentences; we listen to each other and our phone conversations still last to the wee hours in the morning. She can always put a smile on my face. Though she can be quite reserved, she is so romantic with and caring. What had me is that I suffer from Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis as well some other ailments? She actually didn't ask me any questions about them. Tanya took the time to read about them and come to me about what she can do to assist me in any way. What really put the icing on the cake was when we met, I was homeless. The split from my ex wife was stressful and I lost my job which caused me to lose my place. I was sleeping on the floor of my mom's house. She never judged me for that and still wanted to be with me. That is the best feeling ever. She makes sure when we go out that I get an allergy free menu or looks up the restaurant in advance to make sure that it is safe for me. Though she has no children of her own, my kids have become her children and she is so attentive with them. Wow, I should have waited for you and not marry my ex wife, however; with any bad relationship we both said it has helped us grow and learn what we don't want to prepare us for each other. We are truly blessed to have found each other and our love is strong. Though it only has been eight months (no Lesbian U-Haul we are still in separate states), we are planning our wedding for June 2016 in her hometown of Brotherly Love. Life is too short to let Love GO. Is our love story similar to many? Yes, but it is unique to us for we never thought that we would never find a love so true, so real, so rare, and so meant to be. Thank you for allowing me to share our love story.

Brussels — President of the European Council Donald Tusk has urged Prime Minister of China Li Keqiang to initiate meaningful talks with the spiritual leader of Tibet His Holiness the Dalai Lama, at the 17th bilateral EU China summit in Brussels.
Speaking at a joint press conference with the Chinese leader on Monday evening, President of the European Council Tusk praised "China's ambitious reform process," but expressed that this could be expanded to other spheres.
"Today, we decided to reinforce our EU-China 2020 Strategic Agenda, which frames our relationship. We have also agreed with Premier Li the priorities for the up-coming year. This is an impressive list," Tust said.
"It ranges from trade and investment to human rights and migration; from security and defence to climate change and development. And beyond," he added "On many of these issues, we have moved forward today. Because we share strategic interests. But also because of our commitment to address global challenges together."
"We support China's ambitious reform process and have no doubt that it will be a success. We also discussed how we could further improve cooperation on human rights at the bilateral and international level," he said.
"I expressed our concerns on freedom of expression and association in China, including the situation of the persons belonging to minorities such as Tibetans and Uighurs,"
"In that context, I have encouraged China to resume a meaningful dialogue with the Dalai Lama's representatives." President Tusk told members of the media at the joint press conference.
"Finally, I am glad we could agree that the next round of our human rights dialogue and the second visit of the EU Special Representative for Human Rights to China will both take place, separately, in November this year," the EC leader said.
"Our agenda also includes global challenges, which we need to face together, such as climate change and development. We discussed how to promote low carbon and climate-friendly investments bilaterally and internationally," he added.
"We agreed to aim for a fair and ambitious deal at the climate conference in Paris in December. One shared goal should be to keep global average temperature increases below 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels," Tusk further said.
The European Commission (EC) is the executive body of the European Union responsible for proposing legislation, implementing decisions, upholding the EU treaties and managing the day-to-day business of the EU. Commissioners swear an oath at the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg, pledging to respect the treaties and to be completely independent in carrying out their duties during their mandate.

2017 Dolly Sod 5-day Backpacking Trip Report
Dolly Sod Wilderness Area, WV
Aug 7 – 12, 2017
This summer 10 scouts and 3 adults ventured into the North and South of Dolly Sods Wilderness Area; Elijah W, Josh D, Gabe H, Odin M, Joey P, Chaz L, Kendall S, Bobby A, Andrew B and Michael K. ASM Parker lead the trip with help of ASM Macesich and ASM Hindley.
The trip started out with a 3 hour drive from Andrew Chapel to the starting point on Rohrbaugh Trail. The first day was a relatively easy hike of 5 miles to the overnight campsite alongside Red Creek. Since this trip is a prep for Philmont, the scouts were to hone their already learnt backpacking skills including how to pitch a dining fly, hang bear bags, purify water, and make sure any trash was made as small as possible.
Gabe was crew leader for the first two days, Elijah for the next 2 and then Kendall to finish. The second day started at 7 am for a 9 mile hike to Lions Head. Lions Head is a well known campsite at Dolly Sods which has a rock formation that look like a lion, it also allows for amazing views. The scouts spent the night jumping around and having fun. Lions head was also a "dry campsite", which means there is no source of water. Two scouts how to walk 1.5 mile round trip to retrieve water for the night's cooking and cleaning.
The crew set out on the third morning for a short 5 mile hike to the campsite named "The Forks." The crew spent the day in the freezing water swimming, washing and throwing stuff into the water. Since this was the middle of the week, the scouts took their clothes, 'washed' them in the water and then let them dry in the sun. The following day was the longest, 10 miles of hiking. This is the day where all the scouts were tired and it was raining. When it rains while backpacking, scouts have to keep their packs dry, and themselves. Pack covers covered the packs and raingear covered the scouts. The scouts spend the night at Rendezvous campsite. Rendezvous can only be reached by bushwhacking. Bushwhacking is trailblazing in 3 feet of pointy painful plants. The scouts spent the night playing euchre or hearts and then they slept. The morning brought the last day of hiking, 6 miles out of the wilderness back to the cars.
The crew drove to Seneca National Park campground to spend the night. We were planned to go out to dinner in the evening and it was only noon so we decided to go to a local swimming hole and spent the afternoon there before taking well earned and needed showers back at the site. The evening was occupied with pizza and soda. In the morning of the last day, the crew went ziplining at a local place. A mile long ziplining course with sky bridges and rappelling at the end. Lunch was spent at a restaurant around the corner before the crew driving back to Vienna and the end of the trip.
Items lost on the trip:
-3 sets of stakes
Items broken on the trip:
-3 sets of hiking poles
-Pair of boots
Special Names of the Trip, courtesy of ASM Hindley
Elijah W – Mr, Shortcut: Whatever he was doing there was always a shortcut to it, even in mud on the trail
Gabe H – Mr. Cheeky: Whenever anyone said anything he always had a comment to say about it
Josh D – Mr. Bojangles: This is the scout whose boots fell apart and whose boots are going up for 1128 archives
Odin M – Mr. Shambles: Whose things were always, well, in a shambles
Bobby A – Mr. Entertainment: Always the entertainment of the crew
Michael K – Mr. Thoughtful: No matter what the task or thing was, he always thought it through
Joey P – Mr. Wait: Whenever he started a sentence, he always said WAIT before he started
Kendall S – Mr. Pyro: It didn't matter "WHERE", but he always started a fire
Andrew B – Mr. Loud: He just didn't have an indoor voice
Chaz L – Mr. Clean: He always had to be 'clean', even on the trail
ASM Parker – Mr. Bump: He fell multiple times causing several injuries but fortunately recovering every time
ASM Hindley – Mr. Knick: Kept knicking himself in the slightest ways, had many, but very small injuries
ASM Maesich – Mr. Grump: He was always happy and grumpy at the same time
A great time was had by all, I can highly recommend it.

It was a year of casual restaurant openings in the Canadian Rockies, and Tavern 1883's award winning house-ground burgers (beef, elk, lamb, tuna and quinoa) got us hooked. Built from an early 1900s home, the Tavern has a charming mountain cabin atmosphere and a fun, welcoming vibe with live music twice a week and a DJ on weekends.
Tavern 1883's menu features "proper" Canadian comfort foods—a middle ground between fine dining and pub offerings. Fresh ingredients and house-made sauces elevate classic favourites like tacos (think duck paired with pear and ginger chutney). The menu also offers vegetarian and gluten-free options. The restaurant's suppliers provide naturally raised meat and in-season ingredients for entrée-style weekend features.

text: Film ID: YFA 2688 THE ELMFIELD STORY 1970 Visitor TabsDescription This is a fiction film made by the Doncaster Cine Club to explain the importance of the Doncaster-based Elmfield Youth Club within the community. The story begins with a teenage boy named John who, after showing the first signs of delinquency, is taken to the Youth Club and offered a different path to follow. The film's narrative is aided with intertitles used throughout. Title - Amateur cine world. This is to certify that this film has been specially recommended by amateur cine world. Title - Doncaster cine guild presents. Title - The Elmfield story. Title - Story - J.D. Frazer. Script - L.W. Jackson. Camera - R.W. Jones. Titles - W.H. Heynes. Title - The players: Mr E.H. Thompson (Warden). Arnold Overson. Bessie Mitchinson. Harold Armitage. Daisy Overson. Title - This is the story of a youth club - where activity rather than passivity is encouraged. The broader aspects of further education find practical expression. Title - The home of the Smith family late one evening. A man and woman sit in arm chairs, talking. The man wears suit, tie and glasses, while the woman wears a dark blouse. They look at the clock. Title - "Where can John be? He comes in late every night!" John, their son, enters and is given a stern talking to by his father. Title - "Oh for goodness sake shut up." The father waggles his finger at John. Title - "Well, start coming in before this time that's all!" The mother and father exit the room, and John slumps down on a chair. The mother walks down a street and meets a friend. The mother wears a beret, while the other woman wears a long coat. The friend points at a house which has sign outside that reads 'Private. Elmfield house club'. Title - "That's the place for him, my dear go and see the Warden now." The mother enters the club house and talks to the Warden, who sits behind a desk. He motions her over to look at a book and one of the first pages has the word 'drama' written across it. Stage curtains open to reveal a set designed to look the like the interior of a manor house. Several actors and actresses cavort on stage running through their lines. There is a scene with a young lady in a dress, who throws her arms around a young man wearing a fancy bathrobe, and another scene shows a boy being beaten before some policeman arrive. The final shot of this sequence shows the actors lined up on stage, taking a bow. Returning to the Warden's office, the Warden continues to flick through the book showing the mother pictures of boxing matches. Title - "I suggest I write to John and ask him to come and look around." The mother gets up and leaves the Warden. A postman cycles down the street and drops some letters through the Smith's letter box. John gets the letters and opens the one form the Warden; his father comes over to have a look. Title "I would go there tonight if I were you John." John enters the club and chats to the Warden. Title - "Come along let's go to the canteen." They get up and head to the canteen, where an elderly lady makes John a cup of tea. John and the Warden sit at a table drinking their tea; another boy comes up and shakes John's hand. Title - "Oh! I'd like to see some boxing." In a gym many boys wearing boxing trunks are training; some skip rope, other punch speed balls, some spar by themselves, and others throw medicine balls between one another. There is then a fairly lengthy passage which shows some boys having a boxing match. John then plays darts with the Warden and another boy, before the Warden retrieves a book which John goes to look at. In the book there are various photos of the activities undertaken by the club. The next sequence shows members of the club (including girls) in white uniforms performing various acrobatic routines in a gymnasium; they jump a vaulting box, do impressive lifts and handstands. John continues to leaf through the book that the Warden gave him and there is a fencing sequence, followed by a few brief shots of members playing table tennis. The Warden then meets John's parents in a park outside the club. The Warden gets John to stop playing table tennis and go outside to talk to them. Outside, john talks to his parents, who then appear to give him some money. John heads back inside as his parents wave to him. Title - The end.

Dimensions 215 x 143 mm.
Poisons – and their antidotes – were an important topic in medieval Europe, particularly in Italy. This extensive collection of practical recipes copied in part by a surgeon from Rimini for his own use begins with one of the most important medieval texts on toxicology. One of only twenty-seven copies of the Italian translation of this text by Pietro d'Abano, the text is rare on the market (only one sale recorded in the Schoenberg Database). No copy of the Italian translation exists in North American collections. Signed and dated and still in its original binding, stains bear witness to its practical use.
1. Written in Italy in Rimini by two scribes; ff. 66-74v of the manuscript were transcribed on September 18, 1454 by Ranierus, the son of Anteno of Pisa, as the scribe identifies himself in the rubricated incipit on f. 66 (see below). The name Ranierus is common in Europe and can be found among scribes identified in Italy in the fifteenth century, but we have found no other mention of this Ranierus, son of Anteno. Ff. 1-66, copied by another scribe, date from the same period. They are contained within the same codicological unit, and are on the same paper, which is a variant of a "tête de bœuf" watermark attested in Brescia in 1454.
The recipe texts on the blank spaces on f. 24v and on ff. 75-82v by different later hands testify to the continued use of the manuscript, presumably by another doctor or surgeon. Maniculae, occasionally accompanied by "nota," were drawn in the margins to draw attention to important passages on ff. 22v, 59v, 60, 60v, 62v, 63v, 68v, and 69v. The names mentioned in the rubric on f. 66 were crudely added to the space left blank for an initial on f. 1.
2. "Mss. V." was inscribed on the spine and inside the front board, probably in the nineteenth century.
ff. 1-24v, incipit, "[A]d honor et laude del eterno et gloriosissimo summo padre nostro misser yesu christo maistro et governatore de tutta la humana generacion my piero dabano minimo medico habiado con devocione concepto … uno tractado de veleni. Primo diro la divixion di veleni per che ogne cosa divixa in 30 se cognosce…"; Divisio, incipit, "[Q]ue se tracta la divixion di ueleni … ma ley si val contra tutti et pero la turiaga da si medesina se chiama madre de tutte le medexine," Et sic est finis huius operis. Nota che el manca in questo libro la seconda questio 3oe se algun ueneno se po dar atermendado;
Pietro d'Abano, Trattati dei veleni; after the dedication to the Pope (whose identity is debated), the author goes on to introduce the six sections of his work, beginning with the division of the poisons. Partial modern edition of the Latin text by Alberico Benedicenti (1949); English translation, Brown, 1924. A new scholarly edition by Alba Aguilera as part of her doctoral thesis defended at the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2018 is planned for publication; first printed in 1472 in Mantua, and survives in at least nineteen incunable editions (Collard, 2015), known in 72 Latin manuscripts, but in only 26 manuscripts in Italian, not including this manuscript (Collard, 2015, Annex no. 3). The title of our manuscript suggests that it may be the same translation as the one contained in MS VII B. 29 at the Biblioteca Estense in Modena. Only two manuscript copies, both in Latin, are known in the United States, one at the Library of the New York Academy Medicine, the other at the Morgan Library and Museum (Collard, 2015; De Ricci, 1961, pp. 1311, 1464).
f. 24v, [three medical recipes added in a contemporary hand], De dolore lingua, …; Vnguentum de gamba, … ; Sequita vna poluere mirabile prouata contra pesto,…;
ff. 25-64v, Sequita uno unguento mirabile e buono, incipit, "[U]nguento el qual se chiama unguento precioxo…; Vnguento da messier dauid, ….; Per choxa in fitolida, … ; … Al panno, incipit, "Nol assenzo eradize de se nochio … ne dentro dy ochi," Et sic est finis;
Extensive (well more than 200) medical recipes including remedies against various illnesses and conditions; organized according to the type of medicine: ointments; poultices; electuaries (medicines in a honey base); oils(?); powders; and waters. Sources are usually not given apart from the "master David" mentioned on f. 25, and "master Anselm of Genoa," mentioned on ff. 40 and 40v. Some are described as "mirabile" (admirable), and some include affirmations that they have been proven to work ("e provado da molti"). There are a number of recipes with the heading Vnguentum apostolorum (ointment of the apostles), since they include twelve ingredients. There is a charm on f. 57v to be used to stop the flow of blood from the nose.
ff. 64v-66, [Three additional recipes], Qui sequita un bon e notabel prouedemento a guardar chel pestilenciado, …., Sequita vna medicina nobile contra la frieue [sic] quartana provada e bona, …; Sequente vn vini precioxo molto perservativo de la peste, incipit, Primo tuoli day pogni da folglie scabiosa … lassar dormire se non a y tempi," e provado;
ff. 66-74v, Incipit extractio de plurimis libris et auctore avicena ypocrate galieno mesare bruno guglielmus arnaldo de villa nova scriptum per me ranerium de anteno de pisis cyrugico principiato die 18 settenbris 1454 anno rimano et primo, [f. 66v, chapter list], incipit, "Capitulo x [sic] que humeribus constat corpus humanum …"; incipit, "Corpus humanum ex quatuor humoribus constat … castorum e fuccum apii edecique et pone// [ending imperfectly]";
Extracts from medical treatises copied by a surgeon in Rimini, Ranierus of Pisa ("Here begin extracts from many books and authors Avicenna, Hippocrates, Galen, Mesare Bruno, Guglielmus (William), Arnaldo de Villa Nova, copied by me Ranierus, the son of Anteno of Pisa, principal surgeon, on September 18,1454 in Rimini"), relating to various illnesses and conditions, including headache, hair loss, white hair, continuous fever, epilepsy, and paralysis.
ff. 75-82v [previous foliation, 78-81, 83-85, 92], Originally blank pages used for recipes in at least two different hands occasionally accompanied by small drawings in the margins, and the beginning of a contents list (f. 78rv); [ff. 76v-77, 80v, and 82, are blank].
Although in the modern world we usually think of recipes as instructions for preparing food, in the Middle Ages and well into the early modern era a "recipe" was understood in a much broader sense as a how-to instruction, usually brief, related to various crafts (including disciplines such as alchemy and medicine), as well as guides to making various things related to the household and agriculture. This medical manuscript, owned and partially copied by a surgeon in Rimini in 1454, includes more than 200 medical recipes, together with a very popular treatise on poisons and their antidotes, and extracts on various medical topics from works by famous physicians. Signs of use, including pointing hands, added recipes, and even blood stains are proof that the owners of this medical compendium found it to be very useful.
Pietro d'Abano (c. 1250-1316) was a famous Paduan physician, philosopher and astrologer. He obtained a degree in medicine and philosophy in Paris in the late thirteenth century, before returning to teach in Padua. After returning to Padua, Pietro was in trouble with the Church, being accused of heresy and magic. He may have had to face the Inquisition, but these details of his life are disputed, some scholars rejecting them as fifteenth- and sixteenth-century fabrications. Thanks to the support of powerful patrons, Pietro was exonerated in 1306, and in 1314 he was offered the chair of medicine at the University of Treviso.
The De venenis et eorum remediis is a medical work on poisons and their possible remedies. The composition of the De venenis around 1300 followed new inquiries made by physicians in Paris and Montpellier at the end of the thirteenth century into the nature of poison and medicine (Gibbs, 2013). Pietro d'Abano quickly became one of the most frequently cited authors on the topic. The De venenis describes the toxic characteristics of minerals (silver, gypsum, copper, iron, magnet stone, lapis lazuli, arsenic, litharge, cerussite, green copper, lead, azurite, vermilion, cinnabar, and realgar), plants (including cicuta or water hemlock, opium, cursed buttercup, anacardiaceae, mushrooms, and the juices and seeds of wild cucumber, coriander, mandrake, black poppy seeds, scammony, nerium, daphne mezereum, hellebores, and nettles) and animals (including fishes, bovine blood, sea frog, and the bites and stings of various poisonous animals, such as the scorpion, spider, rutela, bee, various snakes, leopard, salamander, ape, and dog). De venenis describes the action of toxins on the human body in a complex theoretical system based on the Avicenna's theory of specific form and the role of celestial forces on that form. The work also describes remedies for different types of poisoning. In the case of poisoning caused by the mineral litharge, Pietro prescribes methods of making the patient vomit and thus eliminate the poison, such as drinking either almond oil, or water with honey and chicken fat (f. 13).
Pietro's De venenis was immensely popular in the later Middle Ages, as numerous surviving manuscripts and printed editions testify. The success of the text in the later Middle Ages is explained by the obsession, especially in Italy, with poison and the danger of being poisoned. It was a popular method of murder due to its effectiveness, leaving the victim with very little means of defense. Honorat Bovet stated at the end of the fourteenth century in the Apparition de Jean de Meun that as soon as sickness or death arrived in princely circles, people suspected sorcery or poison (Collard, 2010, p. 195). Special precautions were therefore taken; servants were ordered to taste the food and drink before it was given to popes, bishops, kings, princes, and nobles. Political poisonings were numerous, even within a family, and notoriously among the Visconti of Milan. For the royal Valois family, F. Collard has discussed some fifteen cases of poisoning, including those of the princes Louis de Guyenne and Jean de Touraine, and the alleged poisoning in 1450 of King Charles VII's mistress, Agnès Sorel, which was blamed on Jacques Cœur (Collard, 2010).

This group of Pacific Double Saddled butterfly fish were always present at a dive site inside the lagoon called "Aquarium" and they had no fear of divers whatsoever (obviously due to the fact that snorkelers fed them bread and rice!) You could always count on a lot of fish when diving at this site, hence the name "Aquarium"!

Acton LIP visit to exhibition at the British Library
This Saturday we will be visiting the "Points of View" exhibition of 19th century photographs at the British Library.
From the first tentative 'drawings of shadows' produced in the mid-1830s to its universal acceptance as a leisure pursuit, photography was swept along by a tide of entrepreneurial activity throughout the 19th century.
As an influential new artistic and documentary medium, photography rapidly developed into a lucrative profession. Science, government, industry and a growing media quickly recognised its power both to reflect and to shape society, while both artists and amateurs embraced its potential for personal expression.
Organised by subject matter, the exhibition asks: 'Who was taking the photograph and why?' Section by section, items are presented within their cultural context to explore some of the major themes of the 19th century – from expansion to industrialisation, science, and the rapid changes taking place in society. The final section reveals how technology responded to the demands of a developing mass market for photography, which continues to the present day.
Date: Saturday 28th November 2009
Time: 2pm
Venue: Meet inside the entrance at The British Library, 96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB
Hope to see you there.

Story by Elias, a Yamap Translator, with Janeen Michie, photo by Janeen Michie
Papua New Guinea has many languages and people groups. Numerous language groups are difficult to access because the land is covered in mountains, forests, rivers, and swamps. Some villages are so remote that villagers can only travel by foot and it may be a few days walk.
Yabumluk is a Yamap village on a high mountain ridge. The people there use their own language most of the time, but since they've never had the Scriptures available in Yamap, they hold their church services in Tok Pisin. On a recent Sunday they used the Yamap Scripture booklet that we had produced for them to use in their services. A young boy, about 6 years old, was there. He had not been listening to the service, which was being held in Tok Pisin, but when the Scripture portion was read in Yamap, he focused and listened carefully. After the service, he kept talking about that Scripture portion. The adults who heard him were very surprised that a young boy like that could preach the gospel.
Elias, who was in Yabumluk that Sunday, said, "This touched my heart."

Unifex: We're going into a new world, a new time, a second decade of EVE. So, how should we be delivering the MASSIVE amount of features that we've already got on our plate as well as the all of the things we'd really love to see added to our science fiction universe. And that, gentlemen, is the question that I'm asking. I want your help. I want your input.
Very well, that is exactly the kind of questions I like to think about. I don't know exactly what it is that Jon would like to hear, so I just give it a try, thinking along lines which make some sense to me.
[tl;dr Repeating Apocrypha won't do it. Looking into the theory of storytelling I try to develop some alternatives and provide a framework to discuss expansion themes.]
I am going to approach this from a story telling perspective. People immediately relate to stories, that's why an interesting narrative makes a good theme to tie together a set of features. EVE Apocrypha had a compelling story to it, namely the exploration of unknown reaches of space. This overarching story theme provided the backdrop for various new features from challenging PvE content across innovative PvP environments to a hole new industry branch. Also the Incursion expansion had a storyline theme: the invasion of empire space by a hostile force. I will come back to why I think an Apocrypha-like theme would not be the best choice. But first some theory.
Since Aristotle, storytellers have thought about the question, what makes a good story? What elements need to be there? And can we classify story plots in categories? Different systematics for such storytelling frameworks have been documented. An often cited example are George Polti's 36 Dramatic Situations, which can be applied to good effect in the design of classical roleplaying plots. In a sandbox game like EVE these story archetypes are filled with life by the actions of the players. It might be interesting to think about how this framework of drama on the interpersonal level could be made into a useful feature in EVE, but that is not what I will write about here. Instead I will try to extract a set of themes that can be well applied on an epic, overarching scope. A scope which provides the hooks for those dramatic situations to happen. Have a look at the following list:
Note how the Retribution expansion tries to enable dramatic situations following the Crime and the Vengeance patterns. By melting together combinations of these dramatic situations I can try to create Epic Story Archetypes
- The Fall of a Civilisation (Disaster + Revolt + Conflict with a God)
- The current world order is shaken to its bones by a series of disastrous events, possibly caused by the wrath of a higher power. Old empires crumble, social structures and entire cultures break apart. In these uncertain times, who will prevail? Note that the "heroes" in such a theme seldom can do anything to prevent the doom. It's not about salvation but about who can hold out the longest.
- The Final Frontier (Enigma + Ambition + Daring Enterprise)
- A discovery opens the way into previously unknown spaces. Mysteries and the prospect of riches beyond imagining lure the people into those dangerous lands. For some the promise is just freedom from their current chains. Others already have big plans in place.
- Internal Revolution (Disaster + Revolt + Ambition)
- The foundations of society have always been shaky. It takes just a tiny stone to set the avalanche in motion. The ones who thought themselves in power will fall. The masses will rise. Justice will finally drag that blinding cloth from her eyes.
One of the best frameworks for narrative world creation I know of comes with the, now long dead, pen and paper RPG Aria. They have much to say about the topic on all levels of detail and if you like creating your own worlds and are able to get your hand on a copy of the book, I highly recommend it. In the section on campaign themes they present the following list, which I summarize here a bit:
- Rebuilding
- An environment, society or group has been damaged or displaced by a natural disaster or conflict. It needs to be rebuild.
- Intrigue
- The campaign concentrates on the political maneuverings of a specific area or group. The campaign can follow the rise of a noble house or the development of a powerful sect.
- Conflict
- The campaign takes place amidst a large conflict or struggle of some kind. Refugees will abound and supplies and resources will by in short supply. On the surface everything might appear normal, yet the characters might discover an intensely violent war being waged just below.
- Preservation
- An imminent danger threatens an environment or society.
- Quest
- The campaign hinges on an epic quest or search. Perhaps a certain artifact or piece of information is necessary for continued survival of a society or group.
- Improvement
- The campaign concentrates on environmental and social development. Such development includes all kinds of social, political and economic improvements and often takes on the form of a crusade.
- Destruction
- The campaign centers on the destruction of an environment, movement or faction. The motives of the parties involved might play a big role in determining the outcome.
- Unkown
- The campaign centers around a profound or fundamental mystery. It could represent the origins of a particular race or species or certain lost elements of a society. Perhaps an environment or group requires someone with courage and cunning to travel in search for answers.
Obviously, not all of these themes are equally well suited for implementation into a sandbox game. Many of those story archetypes actually unfold through the doings of the players on personal or intermediate scales. Some would require a lot of roleplaying and might at first glance seem to be unsuited for the neoliberal and capitalistic philosophy of EVE.
As a small excursus, think about a political or revolutionary theme for example. Intrigues abound in EVE. No need to theme that up. Revolutions come from the masses and there need to be leaders who's heads can role for a nice revolution. Difficult, without a lot of roleplaying effort that many EVE players would simply ignore. But what if the political rules would be changed? For example, take taxes. In the four empires, why not let players be involved in the fiscal politics of their nations? Let them vote on taxes. The different political systems might even have different voting systems. Wait, everybody would just vote taxes down, wouldn't they? Yes, but what if services in empire space (slots in stations, jumpgate capacity, the market place…) would depend on taxpayer money?? The framework for this could be written such, that it would be a welcome tool for alliance leaders and other instigators in nullsec…
So, I won't prematurely dismiss such ideas.
What is the theme you think might be the best for a new (series of) EVE expansion(s)? Which the most straight forward one? Seriously, I'd like to know what you think about this! Drop a comment!
I would guess that many would pick the Final Frontier theme from above. Indeed proposals along the lines of a "Goldrush" have already been made in the current CSM forum thread. It may well be that this is how it will go. Open new space for capsuleers to go and look for new riches. Those new locations could be new celestials, like planetary rings, the stars themselves or comets. Or it could be entirely new star systems. Or even locations that are not bound to a star. (Speaking of stars… in our part of the universe most of them actually come in pairs 😉 ) Probably there would be new technology involved like new ships, modularized POSes or player built stargates. And there could be new challenges waiting in those places. You get the picture.
I am almost sure one can use such a theme to bundle all kinds of nice features together. Actually I am pretty sure that something along this lines will happen, because it is the easy way to go in a sandbox. Add more sand and shovels. There is one point, that bothers me, though. It is too familiar. It just sounds like Apocrypha over again. I think if such a theme would be chosen, then that would be a missed opportunity. As you can see from the lists above there are many interesting patterns that could serve as templates for a themed holistic expansion. Let's not just strike for the obvious! The concept of Apocrypha to have an overarching theme that ties a holistic set of features together is great, but the theme of the Final Frontier has already been used in EVE and it is time for something new. Let's add a stream of water running through the sandbox. It might tear down one or the other castle, though.
Let me end with my opinion on which of the plot archetypes I would like to see implemented. I like the gritty, dark feeling of EVE. What deems odd to me sometimes is that no real, game-wide catastrophes happen. I would really like to see the Fall of a Civilization or Revolution theme to be taken as a template. Possibly combined with a Rebuilding aspect. Such a thing would be hard to implement. It would be a long term project. But hey, CCP thinks about the next three, ten years! Let's start this summer with the discovery that our poking around in wormholes and the outer reaches of space has woken something that truly threatens us all. It is important that whatever threat there is, it something completely different from another farmable NPC content! Jove being sick of the other empires? Sleepers awaken? Or does our tinkering with technology finally bite us in the backside? Mabye the newly discovered genetic modification methods are the first step in the abyss. Give people a reason to scramble from stations under siege. My modular POS shanty towns are refugee camps. New Eden is a dark place. The empires rotten at their hearts, fat purse capitalists getting richer and richer at the expense of the hard working laborer while the various nullsec dutchies, despite what they like to believe, are mere colonies, sucking at the tits of Jita, Rens and Amarr. Time for a breakdown!
Fly reckless. Chira.

TROTT, Nicholas (d.1636), of Gray's Inn; later of Quickswood in Clothill or Clothall, Herts. and Eaton Bray, Beds.
Available from Boydell and Brewer
Family and Education
1st s. of Edward Trott of Yorks. by his w. Elizabeth Parke. educ. Peterhouse, Camb. 1567; BA Clare 1571; G. Inn 1573, called 1584. m. 1602, Mary, da. of Sir George Perient of Ayot St. Peter, Herts., 3da. Kntd. 1619.
Offices Held
Sheriff, Herts. 1608-9; master in Chancery by 1619-25.1
Electoral patronage at Bramber, after the death of the Duke of Norfolk in 1572, is obscure. One Member—in 1597 Trott's colleague William Comber—was generally a local man, but apart from the fact that the borough often elected a lawyer (between 1572 and 1597 at least two Inner Templars and three from Gray's Inn) it is difficult to find any consistent pattern for the 'outsiders'.
Trott of Quickswood, who had a distinguished career at Gray's Inn, becoming one of the 'great society' there in 1589, seems to have had powerful friends. In 1595 his unsuccessful application for the post of deputy secretary of the council in the north was sponsored by the Earl of Essex, perhaps at the instigation of Francis Bacon, who was a personal friend of Trott, and borrowed large sums of money from him. In 1594, as the debt was growing uncomfortably large, Bacon had suggested parting with his reversion of the clerkship of the Star Chamber to Trott, but the transaction does not seem to have been carried out, and by 1601 Trott was pressing for a settlement of the debt. Bacon was forced to mortgage Twickenham park to his creditor, promising right of entry if the debt had not been paid by the end of the year. After intervention on Bacon's behalf by Henry Maynard and Michael Hickes, the lord treasurer made an award of £1,800 to Trott, who presumably received the money, or most of it, before the mortgage of Twickenham park could become effective. Still, in 1597, however uneasy Trott may have been, the financial position between the two men was not causing open friction, and Bacon may have used his influence to find a parliamentary patron for his friend. At this time Bacon and the Earl of Essex were on terms of intimacy, and although no other connexion between the Earl and the borough of Bramber has been discovered, it seems at least possible that Trott owed his seat to Essex, who in 1597 made a great effort to influence elections in many parts of the country. In any case some court patron, if not Essex, perhaps Lord Buckhurst, was presumably involved.2
Only scattered references to Trott's private life survive. His wedding in June 1602 was mentioned by the letter-writer John Chamberlain, who described the bride as 'a lusty tall wench, able to beat two of him'. Since Trott was about 50 at the time, this may have been his second marriage, but no reference to an earlier one has been found. His father-in-law Sir George Perient, held property at Clothill (?Clothall), and in 1604, after Bottelea, one of the manors there, had been formally surrendered to the Crown by Perient, it was granted to agents acting for Trott, who sold it in 1617 to William Cecil, Earl of Salisbury. Trott also acquired property at Eaton Bray, and in 1605 he or a namesake was granted lands in Carmarthenshire.3
He died in November 1636, being buried on the 19th at Eaton Bray. An epitaph by one Edmund Cook is on the fly-leaf of an old precedent book said to have belonged to Trott himself:
Hark what the honest lawyer saith;
one see Content with his own lot;no scraping fee.
When will one gownman that's now left alive
Refuse what he resigned in twenty-five?
Lo, here what once was laid: now seemeth not
The body of good old Sir Nicholas Trott,
On's own accord through honesty and grace
That did resign a Chancery's master's place.
A list drawn up in 1668 of 'gentlemen that have sold their estates, and are quite gone out of Bedfordshire within less than the space of 50 years' includes Trott's name. However, it seems likely that he still held property there at the time of his death, since he was buried at Eaton. He made his will in October 1634 and it was proved by his widow and executrix on 3 Feb. 1637.4

text: Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have the ability to operate with different variants of hydro carbon fuel such as biogas, natural gas, methane, ethane, syngas, methanol, ethanol, hydrogen and any other hydrogen rich gas. Utilization of these fuels in SOFC, especially the natural gas, would significantly reduce operating cost and would enhance the viability for commercialization of FC technology. In this paper, the performance of two indigenously manufactured nanocomposite electrolytes; barium and samarium doped ceria (BSDC-carbonate); and lanthanum and samarium doped ceria (co-precipitation method LSDC-carbonate) using natural gas as fuel is discussed. The nanocomposite electrolytes were synthesized using co-precipitation and wet chemical methods (here after referred to as nano electrolytes). The structure and morphology of the nano electrolytes were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The fuel cell performance (OCV) was tested at temperature (300-600 °C). The ionic conductivity of the nano electrolytes were measured by two probe DC method. The detailed composition analysis of nano electrolytes was performed with the help of Raman Spectroscopy. Electrochemical study has shown an ionic conductivity of 0.16 Scm-1 at 600 °C for BSDC-carbonate in hydrogen atmosphere, which is higher than conventional electrolytes SDC and GDC under same conditions. In this article reasonably good ionic conductivity of BSDC-carbonate, at 600 °C, has also been achieved in air atmosphere which is comparatively greater than the conventional SDC and GDC electrolytes.

"I like riding in the Klamath region because it is so open, there's almost nobody on the road here. We have a huge variety of roads, long climbs and long flats, and no matter where you go there's very little traffic. Its been a constant joy to discover new routes, I'm still finding roads I haven't ridden before and I ride several thousand miles a year. And we have the most gorgeous scenery . It's so dramatic, you can see it wherever you are riding!" Zach Gilmour, Manager Hutch's Bicycles, Klamath Falls
"My husband I have been avid riders for years, and now with a family we continue to enjoy mountain biking, road biking and BMX. We love that Klamath Falls has the amazing Moore Park, just a mile from downtown and are really excited about the new Spence Mountain trail system going in near the lake. You can take off and ride from anywhere in Klamath and personally, I am pretty fanatical about just riding from my house straight down Old Fort Road. It has great elevation changes, smooth gravel, few vehicles, and the feeling of being in the forest. It's perfect for my family, because I am getting a workout instantly when I leave, and I don't have to factor in travel time. The road riding options in our area are practically endless. There are super scenic roads going around the lake, and in every direction from town. There are countless combinations of roads to make a new ride easy to plan. The boys have become involved in BMX at the BMX track off of Anderson Street. The BMX track and team that runs it is a tremendous resource in our community."Allison Andrews, Mom and President of Ecosolar & Electric Klamath Falls
"I've been riding and racing bicycles (sans training wheels) since I was two. Over the years I've become an avid road, mountain and gravel rider with the good fortune to ride all over the world… from the hills of the Dolomites, trails of Colorado and throughout Oregon's roads and single track. And honestly I've never ridden in a place as accessible, diverse and fun as Klamath Falls. From the challenging and scenic "backyard" trails of Moore Park to the growing network at Spence Mountain or Brown Mountain or all of the 'epic's' within an hour of here to the endless scenic asphalt ribbons that role through the Southern Oregon Cascades and high desert there's something for everyone."Adam Burwell, Co-founder of Lost Cascades Bicycle Club and Product Engineer at Jeld-Wen.

2PM's Taecyeon Participates in Asia Tour Concert Despite Ankle Injury
2PM's Taecyeon recently spoke about his current injury.
During the press conference on September 2 prior to 2PM's first Asia tour concert "2PM Hands Up in Asia," Taecyeon said, "The injury in my leg isn't fully recovered but I'm wearing my bandages and I think I will have to stand on stage."
Due to an injury in his ankle, Taecyeon had to use crutches for a while in completing his scheduled activities. While his leg injury is not fully healed, the case is not too serious to pull out of promotions. Taecyeon decided to proceed with performances but wears bandages to protect himself.
2PM kicked off their Asia tour with Seoul concerts on September 2 and 3. They will proceed to more cities in Taiwan, China, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

woven work
My early handwoven tapestries were largely figurative in nature and reflected my desire to represent the plants, animals, landscapes and culture of the desert. Most were designed from my own photographs or sketches. More recently, the work has evolved into abstract and non-objective interpretations, which are more expressive and pure renderings of my inspirations. I weave with yarns composed of commercially and naturally dyed wools, cotton, bamboo, hemp, silk, rayon, linen, paper, waxed linen, sea silk, fishing net, silk wrapped steel and other fibers.
