CbN – Quick Glimpse – Down South
Click, Click, Bang in Vampire
It seems to me that as I enjoy this week of vacation, I must blog a bit. Tonight I shall submit a few words (to be honest, it will be mainly numbers) on Firearms in Vampire 20th.
At the moment, this information pertains to my Chicago by Night (set in the early 90's) but it may spread to any other V20 games I do in the future. I'll be using a number of resources for this post, but mainly I will be drawing from the Vampire the 20th and World of Darkness Combat!
V20 is the more recent book and it helped simply the material presented in WoD Combat (and other books). Nonetheless, I wanted to list a few more options for the sake of flavor, and to show that there was/is a decent variety of guns out there.

CbN – Quick Glimpse – May 18th
Celerity RAW
It's worse than we thought! Celerity got expensive!
Not all vampires are slow, meticulous creatures. When needed, some vampires can move fast — really fast. Celerity allows Assamites, Brujah, and Toreadors to move with astonishing swiftness, becoming practically a blur. The Assamites use their speed in conjunction with stealth to strike quickly and viciously from the shadows before they are noticed. Brujah, on the other hand, simply like the edge that the power gives them against overwhelming odds. The Toreador are more inclined to use Celerity to provide an air of unnatural grace to live performances or for an extra push
to complete a masterpiece on time, but they can be as quick to draw blood as any assassin or punk when angered.
System: Each point of Celerity adds one die to every Dexterity-related dice roll. In addition, the player can spend one blood point to take an extra action up to the number of dots he has in Celerity at the beginning of the relevant turn; this expenditure can go beyond her normal Generation maximum. Any dots used for extra actions, however, are no longer available for Dexterity-related rolls during that turn. These additional actions must be physical (e.g., the vampire cannot use a mental Discipline like Dominate multiple times in one turn), and extra actions occur at the end of the turn (the vampire's regular action still takes place per her initiative roll).
Normally, a character without Celerity must divide their dice if she wants to take multiple actions in a single turn, as per p. 248. A character using Celerity performs his extra actions (including full movement) without penalty, gaining a full dice pool for each separate
action. Extra actions gained through Celerity may not in turn be split into multiple actions, however. – Page 142, V20
My take away: Celerity allows you to add extra dice to your Dexterity, or extra actions if you expend blood. The extra actions must be declared in advance, just like any other multiple actions, they may not be split into multiple actions on their own (see Multiple Actions), and each additional action must be a physical action. Also, each point of Celerity used for multiple actions requires the expenditure of One Blood per action, per turn of combat. This usage of blood does not count toward a Vampires' normal generational limit on blood pool usage per turn.
You may ask:
- So if I want to use two Celerity for two additional actions, how much does it cost me in blood? Two blood per turn you wish to use those actions.
- Also when do I need to declare Celerity use? You need to declare during the deceleration phase in initiative, after everyone has declared their 'normal' actions.
What we misunderstood: We've been continuing to mix up the many versions of how Celerity has worked over the years, mainly focused on the amount of blood and the rate at which it must be spent. The wording on the V20 book could have been a little clearer, but I've checked a few reputable sources after rereading this today, and the 'new' cost of 1BP per Celerity Dot per turn is the widely accepted interpretation.
Vampire Hunting/Feeding
Tonight I'm tackling something I meant to bring up last week. As I have mainly run Sabbat games for Vampire, the Players have been less concerned with some of the rules around hunting and feeding. As there is a lot to refer to, I'm going to paraphrase the highlights and cite where you can read the whole text.
Let's get to it!
Earning Blood Pool – Pg 269-270 Vampire 20th Anniversary Edition
- Vampires replenish blood pool by taking it from others
- You can contract diseases through taking blood, this results in you becoming a carrier (as opposed to being infected/affected by the disease).
- 2 Blood Points is 'safe' to take out of a healthy mortal. Taking all a vessel's blood will kill it. Mortals regain 1 BP a day if they are well fed and rested.
- A vampire may take up to three blood points from a given vessel in a turn.
- Once the Kindred breaks her vessel's skin with her fangs, that vessel no longer resists the vampire (if he did in the first place).
- Indeed, the ecstasy caused by the vampire's bite is called the Kiss, and it engenders as much exquisite, subtly painful pleasure in vampires as it does in mortals.
- Exceptionally strong-willed mortals (9+ Willpower) may continue to resist, but even these vessels eventually succumb to the pleasure.
- While Kindred find the Kiss pleasurable, they may resist it more readily than mortals can. Any Kindred, regardless of Willpower, may make a Self-Control/Instincts roll (difficulty 8) to avoid succumbing to the Kiss. This enables vampiric victims of diablerie (p. 293) to have a chance at fighting back.
- Animal blood is not as nourishing or appetizing, though it can be drunk for sustenance.
- Blood that has been stored in bottles, blood bags, etc, is never as satisfying as fresh blood. Imagine the differences in taste between a day old can of beer or soft drinks that has been sitting in the sun, as opposed to one fresh from the fridge.
- Elders have vast blood pools.
Hunting – Pg 259-260 Vampire 20th Anniversary Edition
- It is in the nature of a Vampire to hunt.
- There are several ways to hunt for your prey.
- Seduction
- Appearance + Subterfuge
- Chasing
- Stamina + Athletics
- Stalking
- Wits + Streetwise
- Others
- Describe the method and the ST can assign some relevant abilities.
- Seduction
- The area you hunt in determines the Difficulty that you roll against.
- Slum / Bar Scene …4
- The Projects / Skid Row …5
- Downtown Business or Warehouse District …6
- The Burbs' …7
- Heavily Patrolled Area …8
- Successes on the roll means that you've found ONE prey. Of course you can ingest as much blood as you wish, but keep in mind the Masquerade!
- Failure on the roll means you haven't found any suitable prey, and a botch results in something very bad (like a Masquerade breech).
- " If the character catches prey, but currently has fewer blood points in her body than [7 minus Self-Control or Instincts], the character is considered to be hungry and a frenzy check (p. 298) is necessary — Self-Control to
see if the character frenzies, or Instincts to see if the character can control her frenzy while feeding. If the player fails this roll, the character continues to gorge on the vessel until she is completely sated (at full blood pool), the victim dies from blood loss, or she somehow manages to regain control of herself."
- The backgrounds: Fame and Domain reduce hunting difficulty by one point per dot (this stacks to a min difficulty of 3), whereas Herd gives you an extra dice per dot.
So, in situations where characters need to refill nearly their whole blood pools in a short order, we will likely move toward this system. When it's a quick "top up" during downtime, we'll likely just skip it.
Sunday RAW – Vampire Oversights
This week is a little different, as I'm only posting one rule that we've been using incorrectly, and the others are just rules/options that not all Players are necessarily aware of them.
The Incorrect Rule – Initiative
This stage organizes the turn and is when you declare your character's action. Various actions are possible — anything from leaping behind a wall to shouting a warning. You must declare what your character does, in as much detail as the Storyteller requires.
Everyone, player and Storyteller character alike, rolls one die and adds it to their initiative rating (Dexterity + Wits); the character with the highest result acts first, with the remaining characters acting in decreasing order of result. (Storytellers looking for a slightly faster or more predictable system can choose to use Dexterity + Wits + 6 for each character's initiative, forgoing
the die roll.) If two characters get the same total, the one with the higher initiative rating goes first. If initiative ratings are also the same, the two characters act simultaneously. Wound penalties subtract directly from a character's initiative rating, while Celerity dots that aren't being used for extra actions add to it (see Celerity, p. 142).
Although you declare your character's action now (including stating that your character delays her action to see what someone else does), you wait until
the attack stage to implement that action. At this time, you must also state if any multiple actions will be performed, if Disciplines will be activated, and/or if Willpower points will be spent. Characters declare in reverse order of initiative, thus giving faster characters the opportunity to react to slower characters' actions.
All of your character's actions are staged at her rank in the order of initiative. There are three exceptions to this rule: The first is if your character delays her action, in which case her maneuvers happen when she finally takes action. Your character may act at any time after her designated order in the initiative, even to interrupt another, slower character's action. If two characters both delay their actions, and both finally act at the same time, the one with the higher initiative rating for the turn acts first.
The second breach of the initiative order occurs in the case of a defensive action (see "Aborting Actions" and "Defensive Maneuvers," both on p. 274), which your character may perform at any time as long as she has an action left.
Finally, all additional actions that turn (including actions gained through Celerity) occur at the end of the turn. If two or more characters take multiple actions, the actions occur in order of initiative rating. An exception is made for defensive multiple actions, such as multiple dodges, which happen when they need to happen in order to avert attack. – V20th Anniversary Edition, Pg 271
My take away: All Players roll Initiative and then declare what they want to do in the round (including extra actions). For the sake of simplicity, you declare in the order of your Initiative score/result. This means that faster results declare first, or you can delay your declaration of action until any lower point on the Initiative order. Extra actions that result from splitting dice pools, or from Celerity occur at the end of the declaration (and turn). You can attempt to change your action and Abort to a defensive maneuver during your action (see Aborting Actions later on)
You may ask: So, if I am playing a fast character with multiple actions, who is in a fight, how do I avoid being hit? Playing it safe, I would say that you delay your declaration for as long as you can, to find out what the other combatants are doing. You then use your primary action to Dodge/Block/Parry the most serious attacks that you know are coming. Then follow up with attacks for your remaining 'extra' actions. Keep in mind, you can always try to abort to a defense maneuver (discussed later). Alternatively, you could be ballsy and attempt to use your main action to seriously wound your opponent in an attempt to outright kill them, or apply a serious wound penalty to them.
What we misunderstood: Holy shit, we've been using the rules incorrectly for eons. Basically, this explains why being fast and having a bucket full of Celerity matters in a fight. Combat declaration is now a serious case of Game Theory.
Raising Attributes with Blood
A player may spend one blood point to increase a single Physical Attribute (Strength, Dexterity, Stamina) by one dot for the duration of the scene. The player must announce at the beginning of the turn that he is doing this. A player may spend as many blood points on increasing Physical Attributes as the vampire may use in a turn (based upon Generation), but may only freely increase these Traits up to one higher than their generational maximum (i.e., a Tenth-Generation vampire may increase Traits to a maximum of 6). With effort, a character may increase a Physical Attribute to above this limit, but each dot above the limit lasts for only three turns after the character stops spending blood. This enables vampires to perform truly amazing physical feats, such as throwing cars, moving preternaturally quickly, and withstanding blows that would fell trees.
Note: No character may increase Physical Attributes above 10. – V20th Anniversary Edition, Pg 268
Willpower to Ignore Wound Penalties
By spending a Willpower point, wound penalties can be ignored for one turn. This allows a character to override pain and injury in order to take one last-ditch action. However, an incapacitated or torpored character may not spend Willpower in this manner. – V20th Anniversary Edition, Pg 267
Multiple Actions
Occasionally, a player will want her character to perform more than one action in a turn. For example, a character may be trying to search through a notebook to find a password while creeping stealthily through a hallway, or might be trying to sidestep an incoming attack while firing a pistol into her assailant's gut. In such situations, the player can attempt actions normally, though all actions become more difficult as the character's attention is split among them.
The player declares the total number of actions he wishes his character to attempt and determines which of those dice pools is the smallest. He may then allocate that number dice among the actions as he sees fit.
At the Storyteller's discretion, certain action combinations that are wildly disparate may incur a difficulty increase (see below) on top of the split dice pool limitations. Composing a stirring poem while showering an enemy with a hail of bullets is a task not lightly undertaken. As well, at the Storyteller's discretion, splitting dice pools to a certain degree may well just be plain impossible.
Vampires with the Discipline of Celerity (p. 142) may take multiple actions without subtracting dice from their dice pools. These extra actions may not themselves be divided into multiple actions. – V20th Anniversary Edition, Pg 248
Aborting Actions
Aborting Actions: You can abandon your character's declared action in favor of a defensive action as long as your character hasn't acted in the turn. Actions that can take the place of a previously declared action include block, dodge, and parry. A successful Willpower roll versus difficulty 6 (or the expenditure of a Willpower point) is required for a character to abort
an action and perform a defensive one instead. When spending Willpower for an abort maneuver, a character may declare the Willpower expenditure at the time of the abort. A Willpower roll to abort is considered a reflexive action. (See "Defensive Maneuvers," below, for descriptions of block, dodge, and parry.) – V20th Anniversary Edition, Pg 271
Sunday RAW – Vampire
With today's Rules as Written (RAW), I'm tackling Aggravated damage in Vampire (Modern and Dark Ages). We re-read the rules on it at last night's session due to some PvP, and we were all surprised.
Aggravated Damage
DARK AGES – Aggravated: Aggravated damage is a damage type specific to Cainites and other supernatural creatures. Mortals treat aggravated wounds just like lethal wounds. Aggravated damage reflects those deadly banes to vampiric existence such as the sun, fire, and the teeth and claws of other vampires and lupines. This damage may only be soaked with a vampire's Fortitude dots. A single level of aggravated damage requires a full day's rest and five blood points. The vampire may spend these five over any number of days, but the wound will not heal until the fifth is spent. He may spend five additional blood points to heal additional levels while he slumbers. A Cainite with a health track full of aggravated damage suffers Final Death. – Dark Ages: Vampire, pg 345
MODERN – Certain attacks are anathema to the undead. Fire and the rays of the sun inflict terrible wounds on the undead, as can the teeth and claws of other vampires (and werewolves or other supernatural creatures).
As mentioned, each level of aggravated damage should be marked with an "*" on the Health chart. Aggravated damage may not be soaked except with the Discipline of Fortitude. Moreover, aggravated damage is far more difficult to heal. A level of aggravated damage may be healed only with a full day of rest and the expenditure
of five blood points (though a vampire may, at the end of the full day's rest, cure additional aggravated health levels by spending an additional five blood points and one Willpower point per extra aggravated health level to be healed). Worst of all, a vampire who loses his last health level due to aggravated damage meets Final
Death — his eternal life ends at last, and he goes to whatever awaits him beyond the grave. Mortals may ignore sunlight, but still take damage from fire, fangs, and claws. Aggravated damage to mortals
is treated as lethal wounds instead. – V20, pg 285
My take away: Aside from the subtext of "Aggravated Damage is very bad news!" warning, the system seems simple. The rule is pretty clear, Fortitude is the only way to soak Aggravated Damage, body armor does not help. You can heal Aggravated damage with a full day of rest and the expenditure of 5 blood. You can also spend more blood to heal more aggravated damage while you sleep in the Dark Ages. I'd define a full day of rest as, an interrupted day of vampire sleep (dawn until dusk). To heal the extra damage in a Modern game (such as my Chicago by Night), you also need to expend a point of Willpower per point of additional Aggravated damage that you wish to heal.
You may ask: Can I heal the damage while I'm awake if I have enough blood? The answer to this is, No, you need to rest to heal this, and each point requires 5 blood be spent (and Willpower in a Modern game, for any damage beyond the first point).
What we misunderstood: Pretty much everything. We've been running with "5 blood and 5 nights of time to heal one point of Aggravated Damage." in Dark Ages and Modern. With this new understanding, it is fairly clear that someone with a large (and full) blood pool, could heal multiple points of Aggravated Damage in the course of one night/day's rest (in the Dark Ages). This is in stark contrast to a young vampire with a smaller blood pool of 10 points (as an example). At most that 10 Blood Pool vampire could heal one point of Aggravated Damage on the night they took the wound(s). This new understanding, also reduces the level of crippling that a character suffers over a longer running story (as Aggravated damage could take them out of action for weeks at a time). Of course in the Modern ages, the addition of needing Willpower to also heal the damage will level the playing field a little.

Cuffed Jeans: A Street Fashion Favorite
Street fashion has become super popular in recent years, especially with the emergence of personal bloggers. Some of the top fashion bloggers specialize in street style and as a result, we've finally begun to open up new doors to how the average, albeit stylish, person dresses around the world on a daily basis. New York has always been a mecca of international flavors all rolled into one, which makes it a perfect choice for examining jeans styles of the everyday fashionable.
The Repeating Style
Of course skinny jeans aren't going anywhere anytime soon, but other trends are quickly emerging to help keep the skinny style fresh. A style long seen in Europe, especially on Italian men, is the straight leg, narrow fit pants with the cuff rolled up showing off a bare ankle. To bring it to a colder New York setting, city dwellers have taken the classic style and swapped trousers for jeans in dark washes and either rolled the jeans in the classic way, or simply bought jeans that were short enough to show the ankle. With the weather in New York dramatically different than most parts of Italy, just about all fashion types showing up in street style blogs had on socks in various dark colors.
How to Get It
Since the New York version is much more laid-back than the Italian one, it will also be easier to find and afford. Find a dark wash jean in a straight, narrow or skinny style, then decide on whether to have a natural hem that hits above the ankle or a rolled cuff. The rolled cuff will make the jeans more versatile, but a crisp hem also sends a strong, distinct message. For the natural hem, it's likely a tailor will need to get involved. It's hard enough finding jeans that fit, let alone jeans that fit and have the exact hemline wanted. For the rolled cuff, opt for normal length jeans, nothing too long, and roll them once or twice to let the ankle "breathe." For chilly weather add in some stylish socks and funky shoes.
As fashion begins to go global thanks to all the street fashion bloggers, it's becoming easier than ever to try out fashion trends from around the world. To keep it unique, tailor it to your city, style and climate for a cool, eclectic look. The globe's the limit.

"Picture to yourselves four scholars and scientists, an anthropologist of Russian ancestry, the host, a sociologist, the guest of honor, a psychologist, and a historian, all faculty colleagues, sitting down to a rich Russian midnight repast in honor of the approaching departure of the sociologist from the faculty and community, a separation to be begun by his withdrawal to a theosophical retreat on Orkas Island. For he was a Dutchman who was not only infected by theosophy but seriously so. Unhappily he was even then fasting to give him the spiritual state necessary for profiting from the retreat. The fast permitted him only water, even in the face of this spread of meats, cheeses and cakes, anchovies and caviar, though he confided to us that his wife, who was not present, could have taken orange juice. Such laxity had to be granted to the woman, who is the weaker vessel.
"The psychologist, a gross, hearty, elephant of a man, not to be outdone in physical endurance or spiritual self-denial by a sociologist, then recalled that he had fasted once, though he had no intention of fasting now. Indeed, he remembered even that the fast was last summer, that it was to cut down his weight, that it went on for weeks, that he did not need even water, but got stronger every day. He was in a forest of the state of Washington and like Paul Bunyan he cut down trees daily. The sociologist's interest and admiration increased minute by minute as the psychologist added detail after detail to the account of this triumphant fast. 'But then,' asked the theosophist, 'why did you stop?' Because it was near the 4th of July and the end of the strawberry season, and he succumbed to temptation with the thought that in two days the luscious, red, fresh fruit would be gone irretrievably for a year. So it was in the days before frozen foods, and so the great experiment was abandoned.
"Not however was that of the socio-theosophist as he sat in front of the Russian meal and watched the anthropologist, the psychologist, and the historian eat into the night. He made only one minor concession, of no apparent importance, but one that should be a warning to all fasters to make no concessions (unless it be strawberries), to stay by water, and not venture even to watercress, and certainly not to do so in response to the host's appeal to friendship and love. Would the guest of honor go without touching any of the repast prepared by the host's wife especially for the guest? Would he not respond at least with a gesture of gratitude and affection? Would he not toy with a plate of watercress arranged by the hand of the absent hostess (for it was a stag party)? Surely there was no nourishment here, nothing to break the fast! Affection broke the spell, and the taste of a leaf led to that of another and to another, until in the midst of midnight conversation the whole plate (meant originally for all of us) was consumed by one guest of honor, who had eaten nothing for a week and was not really breaking his fast. But let it be a warning! If you know the virtues of watercress, you need not be told what they do to an empty stomach; and, if you do not know, I advise you not to try it. At any rate, the morning found the sociological theosophist so ill and weak that he had to postpone two days his departure for the retreat. Even then he must barely have re-established his spiritual control of his rebellious physical man."

A member of India's advisory board on shipping has criticised government plans to set up a transhipment terminal in Kovalam.
Joe D'Cruz wrote to India's shipping minister to say that the transhipment terminal model was now outdated and that, if India had wanted to do transhipment successfully, it should have invested in it 30 years ago.
"For a successful International Container Transhipment Terminal (ICTT), we need thousands of acres of land, millions of tonnes of cargo and contributing ports. The facilities are not there in Kanniyakumari district and cannot be developed even in future as the entire district is directly or indirectly agro- and fisheries based. There is no space for heavy industrialisation. Moreover, no Indian port, including the Tuticorin port, will be ready to send its import/export containers to Kovalam ICTT just for transhipment purpose," he said.
Instead, he proposed that the government invest in fishing ports in the region.
For a country of its size and population, India has lagged far behind its rivals in terms of container throughput. One reason for this is that much of the transhipment for Indian cargo is done in Sri Lanka. A terminal in Kovalam, in the south of India, would aim to help ensure Indian cargo is transhipped in India.
South Indian container ports grew by 9% in 2017 and a South Indian transhipment terminal called DP World Gateway Terminal in Cochin achieved growth of 11%.

In business, it is always good to let go of your misconceptions early. One of my first field visits in an emerging market was in Istanbul, and it was an eye-opener. I expected business in Turkey to be less organized, less structured – far behind the developed markets I was used to in Western Europe, with a workforce that needed to be educated on the nuances of business. To my surprise, I found an economy that was already incredibly vital. Turkey was home to hundreds of diverse, fast-growing companies, and smart, energetic workers who all seemed to be fluent in English.
After my experience in Turkey, I learned to approach every emerging market with a fresh eye.
To be successful, you need a foundation of tru
st, relationships and personal attributes—all the things that make for deep customer connections. This idea of deep customer connections has a tangible meaning in emerging markets. There are two reasons for this. One is that most emerging-market economies haven't gone fully electronic — a lot of basic business communication (such as generating quotes and negotiating prices) is still done in person. Also, the majority of emerging-market companies fall into the small- and medium-sized enterprise category — they can't afford to bet on a vendor who won't be there for them in a pinch. If something comes up, they want to believe that nothing is more important to you than their problem.
How a local management team creates this trust varies with the country — and to some extent, with the customer. But it starts with being out in the market to hear their concerns — that's the number one thing. And if you can help customers in ways they don't expect, you'll have an edge in the market that may make a big difference.
If I had to boil down my philosophy of operating in emerging markets to just a few points, it would be these:
- Think local. At its most basic, this means hiring people from within the country to head the operation and do the work. Expatriates typically don't speak the language fluently, and even when they do, they miss nuances of communication, culture and custom. To be sure, identifying, training and developing capable people is a big HR challenge. But it's a challenge that must be met if your company is to succeed in an emerging market.
- Engage with the market. Many developed-market companies now entering countries like India, South Africa and Chile pride themselves on their systems, organizations and processes. I wouldn't say these things don't matter in emerging markets, but they're less important than having visible, charismatic managers who like interacting with customers and prospects.
- Minimize the bureaucracy. Big companies are bureaucratic by nature, but they should look for ways to simplify processes so their country teams have more time to focus on the business.
- Capitalize on your brand. This isn't the first thing to try to do in an emerging market and there is no guarantee that a brand that resonates in one part of the world will resonate in another. Still, the brand can help you if people in a new country associate it with positive qualities — reliability, trust, concern for the environment. When you combine a reputation like that with a truly local operation, it can open a lot of doors.

The British Way
Besides being the home of the Beatles and the ubiquitous fish and chips, the UK also has a thriving and well-respected education system. Two Singaporean students share their experiences with us on what is it like to be a student in the UK.
By Farhan Shah
Since young, Geneve Yeo had always felt a certain affinity towards music. She constantly pestered her parents for music lessons and would grab any opportunity to perform live, such as in school and even at weddings.
"I always found my music assignments the most enjoyable to complete too!" the 20-year-old quips.
The perfect environment
Naturally, when it was time to select the field she wanted to major in, Geneve chose to read Music. The only question was where.
After doing her research, Geneve decided that the United Kingdom (UK) was the perfect place for her to further her Music education.
"The UK has a blossoming Arts environment and is a vibrant country for both the performer and the audience. I also heard many good testimonies from people who've studied Music there before too," Geneve rationalises.
When choosing her university, the former Dunman High School student took into account the university's reputation as well as its focus and niche areas. It is extremely important because the quality of the home department and its facilities will affect her learning for the next few years.
Another factor she took into consideration was the type of setting she wanted to study in, deciding between a scenic, sprawling campus, one that is set in a buzzing metropolitan area, or somewhere in between the two.
She also looked at the accommodation and immigration advice for international students from the university as she feels it is a reflection of how welcoming the university is towards foreigners.
After weighing the pros and cons of each university and with assistance from the British Council, Geneve decided that the University of Birmingham was the institute for her.
However, there was much to prepare before she could board the plane.
As the British Council is a reliable guide on studying in the UK, Geneve could count on it as a one-stop centre for all her queries.
She attended pre-departure talks and exhibitions on UK universities and also met overseas alumni support groups and anxious students who were in the same boat as her, making the entire process less nerve-wracking than it already was.
Different way of life
Geneve joined the Singapore Society (which should be found in many UK universities) to keep in touch with her roots (Singlish and good food!).
At the same time, she is excited about immersing and absorbing British culture – making new friends and interacting with the locals makes the whole overseas studying experience even more meaningful.
She also pointed out the distinct difference between the UK education system and the one in Singapore.
"The UK education system is more interactive and the process of learning is just as important as the outcome. The overall learning climate in the country was something I felt would suit my learning style better, being more discussion-based, independent, with assessments done over time, rather than through a single examination. The learning process is much more independent as the lecturers are there to guide, rather than spoon-feed," she says.
Contemplating on a teaching career herself, Geneve explains further, "The faculty members are highly knowledgeable and are always forthcoming with sharing what they know with students, while not disregarding our views. We are able to exchange and discuss ideas on the same plane, which is what university education is traditionally set out to be."
Finding independence
Geneve is not the only fan of the British education system. Hany Soh is also another Singaporean who has grown to love the British academic culture.
A Law student in the University of Liverpool, Hany describes the education system in the country as a unique blend of independent research, reading materials as well as close interaction and debates with peers and faculty.
One difference Hany highlights is the emphasis that is placed squarely on self-study.
While the words "independent self-study" might ring alarm bells in the heads of Singaporeans who may not be comfortable with a "hands-off" approach from their lecturers, the 23-year-old offers reassurance that the experience is enjoyable.
As it turns out, far from the "go and do everything yourself" mindset we sometimes mistakenly associate with the term "independent study", Hany is continually impressed with the generous and genuine guidance provided by her lecturers.
"They don't simply teach you. They guide you. Tell your lecturers where you wish to go, and they'll provide you the tools to do so," she says.
Self discovery
Hany's acquisition of independence extends beyond her academic obligations.
She has picked up better time management skills, enjoying potluck sessions with fellow Singaporean students and visiting various places of interests over the weekends, while maintaining good grades.
Furthermore, this young lady, who didn't know how to cook a bowl of rice, is now confidently whipping up expertly-prepared chilli crab dinners for her friends.
As an international student ambassador and the Vice-President of the Singapore Society at her university, Hany identifies with the new students passing through the university's entrance, and takes pride in helping them get acclimatised to their new environment, just as her friends had done for her.
The girl who had been relying on her parents now realises her true potential as a leader, independent learner, and sociable team player.
These are the qualities she's honed since entering this foreign land, and she humbly credits her environment, the university, and British culture for all of it.
Discovering confidence
The two confident ladies are all set to dive into the working world with the qualities that they have picked up from the British education system.
Geneve credits the UK for inculcating in her the self-confidence that is paramount for any performer to have. There are many opportunities for students to perform various genres of music and to take ownership of the programmes they put up.
"Being educated in the UK gives you the choice to either have a career overseas or bring your experiences back to Singapore. It pushes you to create your own prospects rather than wait for opportunities to fall on your lap," Geneve says.
Her advice for the students heading to the UK is to bring something dear from home, be mentally prepared, and to embrace the new lifestyle as soon as possible.
As for Hany, she has already been offered a training contract with a firm back home, and intends to pursue her career as a lawyer in Singapore.
To her, studying in the UK has indeed been an eye opening experience and she would recommend it to anyone who is looking to be more independent.
Hany also laughingly says, "Try the traditional fish & chips. They're fantastic."
The duo knows their story is a testament to the advantages of a UK tertiary education, and invites like-minded individuals to undertake their own personal transformation in a land the both of them now call their second home.

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet..."
William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Rather than sharing a quote that I've used in a graphic that you can download, I thought I share the art I've been working on using vintage public domain artwork from various sources. I'm pretty sure are what I'm going to use above my sofa.
I used a program called Paint.net to create them. It's very easy to use and free to download. I used it to create the header for my blog also. I had a lot of fun designing them, pulling the different elements together. I don't know if this will be the way they will be arranged or not, but right now I kind of like this layout. I had a lot of fun designing them.
I just have to figure out where I'm going to have them printed, because I want them to be really high quality. That means I won't be printing them here at home, even though that would be less expensive. Any suggestions on where I can get them done on the cheap?
Now that I'm looking at them all together, I might tweak them a bit... The frames are 12"x12". It might be nice to make these pictures square rather than rectangular. I hadn't even considered making them square until now. When I started designing them, I was thinking about using my printer paper. I just realized I don't have to be locked into anything since I was planning on trimming them anyway. They can be any shape I want, especially since I'm not going to print them here.
Well, I have a few weeks to decide, because the sofa won't be here for three to five weeks. Whatever I decide, I think this is the feel I want to go with. They're cheerful, and I think they will help brighten the room. Plus it's cohesive with artwork that we already have in the room.
What do you think? Do you like them?

Jews all over the world are spiritually readying themselves for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the High Holy Days. It is a time of deep reflection into the inner spiritual landscape in order to initiate change in behaviors and actions in this world.
However, while these Days of Awe are Jewish holidays, self-reflection and inner work for the purpose of healing brokenness in ourselves, in our relationships and in our world are universal themes common to people of all faiths.
And it is not simply the religious mind that is concerned with the pursuit of healing and wholeness; people of faith notice, learn and then respond through the whole heart and soul. The medieval philosopher Bachya Ibn Pakuda referred to this as "Duties of the Heart." Connecting to each other and to God is done through the spiritual principle of love and the practices of compassion, patience, kindness and forgiveness.
I am proud to be an alumna of the Academy for Jewish Religion in California, a rabbinic seminary that this year has partnered with the Claremont School of Theology and The Islamic Center of Southern California in the University Project.
Students and seminarians will be enrolling in classes at each other's institutions in order to create dialog and build bridges between these three faith communities. The University Project is the first in the country in which clerical leaders, rabbinic students and Christian seminarians will deliberate and study their faiths together in the same classroom.
In today's complicated world, we are inundated with hostility and hate speech toward "the other." But imagine how we can transform the world if we sit down and study together, debate and respect each other's viewpoints.
Imagine if we embraced the universal truth that we are all created in the divine image and realized that that image can look different when viewed through the beautiful rich diversity of religions, languages and cultures. This imagination can only become a reality when we lower the barriers between ourselves and the other.
A Hasidic story illustrates this beautifully: Once, a woman became lost in a dense forest.
She wandered this way and that in the hope of stumbling on a way out, but she only got more lost as the hours went by. Then she chanced upon another person walking in the woods. Hoping that he might know the way out, she said, "Can you tell which path leads out of this forest?"
"I'm sorry but I cannot," the man said. "I am quite lost myself."
"You have wandered in one part of the woods," the woman said, "while I have been lost in another. Together we may not know the way out, but we know quite a few paths that lead nowhere. Let us share what we know of the paths that fail and then together we may find the one that succeeds."
What is true for these lost wanderers is true for us as well. In the year ahead, may we take each other's hands and find our way back to the oneness of humanity.
Rabbi Janice Mehring serves Congregation Ohr Tzafon in Atascadero. She is a member of the Ministerial Association of San Luis Obispo and the interfaith liaison for the Jewish Community Center of San Luis Obispo.

Studio Update 4/22
Here's another sneak peek at how last week's sales pieces are coming along! I was dreaming when I thought I could finish all that in one week, like usual! The presentation sets are getting really close to being finished up!
Here's an updated shot of that "fring-y" halter from last week. In the next few days this one will receive a brow band, throat lash, nose chain, lead line and some cowries. There are 9 of these altogether. The other colors aren't as far along. I assembled the black and white ones first just to make sure this "experimental" new design was headed in the right direction first!
Here's a shot of the red set. Funny thing about this one, I ran out of the red I used to make the collar and halter bases. So I bought what I thought was the same shade of red and started making tassels, only to realize the two shades are slightly off from each other, but I decided to leave it because it's not a bad effect!
This set is bright emerald green, it seems paler in these photos but it's actually very vibrant!
I stayed up late last night and finished up end ropes on the green and blue sets. This morning I will finish up the ends on the red. I came up with a newer method for doing these end ropes too, that I am just in love with! Sometimes sleep really is overrated and your best ideas just happen when you should be sleeping!
Take note of the red/green stripe on these end ropes....
Here's the blue set before the ends were finished, Jedi was just dying to try it on! I think these colors look great on a lighter horse and I will definitely photograph Miss Elizabeth Bennett in the sales pictures for this set!
Impossible to see in this photo but the end ropes in this one are wrapped with silver! LOVE how this one came out...tempted to keep it, but must sell so I can buy more ponies and supplies!
I should be finishing up some of these pieces to sell this week! Stay tuned for more to come soon!
Thanks for reading and Happy Collecting!

baby and child friendly holidays - Costa Teguise, Lanzarote
Here's a parent's eye review of
Costa Teguise, Lanzarote from Kerri, March 2011
Holiday Type: Beach Holiday
From: Kerri
Is Costa Teguise, Lanzarote good for the kids?:Yes, excellent. The area is very geared up for kids, with a lot of the bars & restaurants having childrens menus, toys and gardens with bouncy castles etc. The beaches are fab and the main ones have lifeguards. Along the sea-front there are several play parks and they are really new and fab for 1 year to 6/7 years old.
Overall holiday rating: 5 stars
What was your accommodation?Type: Aparthotel
Name: Ficus
How was the accommodation in Costa Teguise for the children?:It was great, it was a last minute cheap "all inclusive" holiday and was a real hit. Food - a huge selection at each meal, with some old favs if your child isn't adventurous with food (chips, pasta) but some local food as well. Pool - it wasnt heated but there is a kids pool, about 60cms I think Entertainment - very good around the pool and a few times a week there is a kids disco (with winners certificates!!)
Overall accommodation rating: 5 stars
Did you eat out in Costa Teguise with your children and how was it?Yes, we ate out a few times and our 3 year old loved it, kids are really spoilt there and in one tapas bar they made him a "buzz lightyear" icecream sculpture thing as he is Toy Story mad!
Overall restaurants rating: 5 stars
Are there things to do for the children in Costa Teguise?Lots, as mentioned above and apparently a water park, camel rides, etc. which we didnt do!!
Any other things you think parents should know about taking children to Costa Teguise?Take your buggy! Our 3 year old never needs a buggy at home, but fell asleep in it at night and meant we could explore more when he was being wheeled around

2014 Phillies Report Card: Mario Hollands
Mario Hollands' name was something of a surprise on the Opening Day 25 man roster. The 25 year old had pitched well in the spring, during which Ryne Sandberg appeared to take quite a shining to him; only 3 other pitchers made more spring training appearances than Hollands, a non-roster invitee who spent all of 2013 in either Clearwater or Reading.
The notion of spring-training-as-tryout should probably draw more ire than it does from those of us that wring our hands constantly about sample size. Maybe Sandberg saw some potential in Hollands' 94 to 95 mph fastball generating ground ball outs, or a slider which, at its peak, can be impressive. Or maybe he was just pleased that Hollands allowed only 4 runs in 11 and 2/3rds innings. Either way, he certainly does not wring his hands about sample size, and not only did Hollands make the Opening Day roster, Sandberg tossed him into the furnace on opening day in Arlington, into a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the 9th against the Rangers.
It's a-me, the wrong guy to pitch in high leverage
— ?????? ?????? (@Phylan) April 2, 2014
Ultimately, it was B.J. Rosenberg who, to the surprise of nobody, allowed the walk-off hit by Adrian Beltre. But it was Hollands who set the stage by walking Shin-Soo Choo and Adrian Beltre, generally looking as if it were the first time he was ever asked to throw a ball reasonably close to the same two-and-a-half square foot area.
Hollands' 2014 campaign improved from there, though that was not his low point — this distinction likely goes to a 3 appearance stretch in July in which he faced 19 batters and only retired 7, allowing 6 runs. He had periods of success, particularly in May and June, when the slider was missing bats and he held the opposition to a .214/.286/.314 line. All along the way, though, he was dogged by walks, which he issued to 10.3% of the hitters he faced.
Hollands hit the 60 day disabled list on September 4th, a day after leaving an outing against the Braves with a sore left elbow. The injury, a grade 2 flexor strain, will not require surgery, so there's a good chance we will see Mario again in the spring. And that's fine. Free passes aside, Hollands demonstrated the ability to generate swings and misses, and had the Goddess of Outcomes been a bit fairer to him, he may have been within spitting distance of league average effectiveness.
It's not impossible to imagine Hollands as a reliable medium leverage reliever — sorry, Ryne, I meant "7th inning guy" — if he can improve his control and be able to attack hitters with his slider more frequently in pitcher's counts. He could well be a worthy supplement to a bullpen that increasingly looks like it will be built around Ken Giles. There's no harm in giving him another season to see.

Because online proofing solutions for photographers are so plentiful these days, providers of these services must work harder to differentiate themselves from the competition. Enter ShootProof, a photographer shopping cart whose business model makes it distinct. Their "no commission" policy allows photographers to keep ALL of their sales (a rarity with online gallery solutions). All of ShootProof's plans share the same features, meaning their least expensive plan is as functional as their premium plan. As far as storage goes, the ShootProof photographer just pays for photo space that they need, and can upgrade or downsize at any time. In short: at ShootProof, the buck stops at your monthly fee--no commissions, no set up fees, no extra storage or selling fees. Use this great calculator to figure out how much you could save!
For prints and products, integrated fulfillment is available through the photographers' choice of BayPhoto, Black River Imaging or ProDPI (Design Aglow's preferred partner!). Photographers can also easily self-fulfill orders. Boutique packaging is available from each lab, and orders can be drop-shipped directly to their customer, "white labeled" to the recipient of the order. ShootProof contains the functionality to create different packages, promo codes, and price sheets for each event. Customize all sales features, such as sales tax and shipping rates, and accept credit cards through SSL processing or popular payment gateways like PayPal. ShootProof also offers comprehensive digital download fulfillment. Sell digital files (the photographer sets a price per download and/or for all images) or give downloads of free full-res or social media files. Shootproof's mobile interface offers flexible viewing, social sharing, and downloading of images.
Ultimately, ShootProof knows that photographers should choose what is best for their business on a client-by-client basis. The options to self-fulfill or use a lab for orders, select a storage level while maintaining the same level of service, and set their own prices & policies across all devices, all while allowing photographers to keep all of their own profits, truly set ShootProof apart.Try any plan free for 30 days, or use ShootProof's full-featured forever-free plan to store and sell up to 100 photos. At Design Aglow, we're often approached by brands asking for a feature or to be introduced to our community. We've decided to begin sharing select companies with our readers, in the hope that you'll find their products as useful as we do. While we receive compensation for these posts, we vow never to promote a product just to make a quick buck, but instead align ourselves with companies that share our values of integrity and innovation.

The Triad
The Triad's right hand gal and resident Vampyre.
"If it can be designed, I can design it. If it can be built, I can build it. Then, once you boys have your way with it — if it can be fixed, I can fix it!" – Lily
Liliana "Lily" Avram is the right-hand of the Triad. Although they have no memory of it, according to her she's worked with them for two years. Other than this small tidbit of information, her past is a mystery.
What's known is that somewhere along the way, Lily died and became a Vampyre. She's never discussed how or when this happened. Unlike most Vampyres, she refuses to embrace her darker self. Indeed, she goes to great pains to cultivate her humanity. She frequently speaks of other Vampyres in distrustful — even hateful — tones and refuses to feed off unwilling humans. Part of her "arrangement" with the Triad Detective Agency is that she feeds from either Mr. Onyx, Mr. Verde, or Mr. Azure at least once a week. For this purpose, Lily has fashioned a medical device to make this a more sanitary — and less intimate — experience.
In a time when most women are either homemakers or whores, Lily is a brilliant exception. She's an amazingly talented inventor and mechanic, often fabricating devices and wondrous machines in her expansive workshop attached to the Triad's main office. This is also where she sleeps in the day. She helps with bookkeeping and filing, but admits this isn't her strongest field. Because of her rare beauty, she sometimes assists with interviewing witnesses or suspects; however, she refuses to utilize her Vampyric mesmerism on such occasions.
Lily is both strong-headed and strong-willed. She can be capricious, but is very serious when it comes to work of any kind. She's totally in her element when working with machines, but she's not bad with people either. She's growing especially fond of Fetch, perhaps because her Vampyrism has left her barren. She's never spoken of this openly, but the way she looks at children make this as obvious a pain as a broken nose.
Despite her Vampyric "condition" (as she calls it), she holds deep idealistic convictions about the world — convictions which are frequently upended by bitter reality. This sometimes knocks her for a loop, but she's never down for long. For whatever reason, Lily believes there's good in the world, though she admits it is well hidden. She also believes that — in the end — it will be victorious.
Of course, she's said that Mr. Onyx once told her, "In the end, there is no end."
Campaign History
October 16, 1883 – Lily is kidnapped by Elbridge Gerry, the Vampyre Viceroy of the Northeastern United States. He's pursued her hand in marriage for years, but she's always refused. Gerry had only recently risen in station and was now threatening the Triad if she didn't agree to his proposal. She acquiesed, but was later rescued by the Triad and Gerry was killed.

Chilaquiles are awesome
I ate chilaquiles today, which are good. I had to have other people make the chilaquiles, since I don't really know how to make chilaquiles. (The previous sentence is redundant which is awesome.) Not that it's hard to make chilaquiles, since they are just eggs and tortillas with red or green sauce poured all over them. With cheese. (That's a sentence fragment, which is awesome.) Also, I'm bringing back the word awesome as a synonym for great, which is what we did when we were 10, which annoyed some of our teachers since its supposedly an incorrect use of the word, which, of course, is awesome. (That previous sentence is a run-on, which is also awesome.) While I was eating those chilaquiles, I noticed some men building a giant tower across the street, but a woman I asked didn't know what it was. It looked like a giant pillar with a cameraman on top of it. When you come from a generation who has been overly influenced by electronic media like television, film, and the internet, you find you don't have a sufficient vocabulary to describe things in writing to people. Instead, you find yourself using some bad grammar, and redundant adjectives, and poor diction (whatever that is, I think it has to do with the adjectives), and parenthetical statements that should be separate sentences. But, when you think about it, maybe that's awesome. Here's the guy on the tower. (You also use pictures, which are worth exactly 1000 words, which can help you make your quota).

David Keeton Speaks with HOUZZ.COM in Pro Spotlight: 3 Ideas for a Refreshing Home RemodelSaturday, January 6th, 2018
Where: Los Angeles
In his own words: "Remodeling is all about problem-solving. Getting your plan right is essential."Are you dreaming of a modern, efficient kitchen? Envisioning a second bathroom? Thinking about how nice it would be to have a deck in the backyard? General contractor David Keeton, who owns DC Keeton Home Improvements in L.A., says you can actually enjoy a remodel, from the planning to the final product, if you adjust your expectations. "Get your ideas together, talk with a designer and get the contractor involved as soon as you can," he says. "The contractor can tell you what's possible and what still needs to be figured out."
A remodel is a great time to let your artistic side shine. Find inspiration in your favorite palette, a collection of kitchenware or an antique sideboard, and update tired cabinetry, flooring and walls using fresh colors.Keeton helped West L.A. clients create the bright, cheery kitchen seen here. "They had a really nice collection of vintage glassware, so I put in glass-front cabinets," he says. The shade of red the clients selected was applied to the custom cabinets in a highly durable finish in the cabinetmaker's workshop.See more kitchens
One of the best ways to expand your living space without much expense is to add a deck. "In L.A., you can open the doors and take advantage of a beautiful deck all year round," says Keeton, who recommends using natural wood finished with sealant. For this deck in the Hollywood Hills, he used aircraft-cable balusters to maximize visibility through the railings. "The natural redwood makes this a work of art," he says.More: For more information on David Keeton and examples of his work, visit DC Keeton Home Improvements' Houzz profile.This story was written by the Houzz Sponsored Content team.
