About Cotabato ...
Chalice Sponsor Site of Cotabato, Philippines
Children here belong to extremely destitute families affected by the conflict between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and Government forces. It is estimated that 85% of the native tribes, including people from slum communities, have no formal education - most never having seen a classroom. A typical Manobo family consists of parents and four children. The children must travel a great distance to attend school, so families from each community will build a hostel close to the school so the children can remain together. Community elders supervise the hostels to ensure the safety of the children.
In 2001, Pangipasan Community School, under the direction of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, was accepted into the Chalice family. The school was built in 1994 at the request of local indigenous Chieftains to meet the needs of children of the Manobo tribe in their ancestral territory. Education is very expensive in this area; therefore it is the main focus of this Site. Their objective is to create self-reliant, well-informed, reasoning individuals. Manobo children are taught a modern day curriculum, as well as the beauty and richness of their own traditions. The upshot of educating the children is a change of attitude in the tribe. They now exhibit dignity and self esteem, standing up for their rights and beliefs. Cotabato Sponsor Site is an excellent example of a community coming together to tend to the needs of their citizens as a whole. Everyone shares their time and talents, teaching the value of working together so all may live a more productive life in dignity and solidarity.
Mission - Cotabato
The mission of the Chalice Cotabato Sponsor Site in the Philippines is to create self-reliant, well-informed, reasoning individuals. The Manobo children are permitted to wear their native attire to school every Monday, with school uniforms being required the rest of the week. They are not only taught the modern day curriculum, but the beauty and richness of their inheritance. In the process, the site staff gains a holistic understanding of people and the environment through the sharing of knowledge with the tribal people themselves. The consequence of educating the children is the change of attitude in the tribe. They now exhibit dignity and self esteem, standing for their rights and beliefs.
Sponsorship in Cotabato
Sponsorship in the Chalice Sponsor Site of Cotabato provides school clothing, supplies, and mid-day lunches, as well as hygiene kits and medical care. In return, the community provides free labour for the school and Sponsor Site. This "Communal Work" includes: tending the school vegetable garden, working as a school cook or monitor, planting trees for a massive reforestation project, etc.

U Fragnu, olive oil in all its forms
culinary outing unusual
A warm welcome awaits you in the village of Lunghignano at this atypical establishment of the Balanine region, which offers an invitation to discover and taste olive oils and handmade products.
Though entirely renovated, the mill has managed to keep its authenticity, as the wheel is still pulled by Georges, the establishment's donkey.
A true ambassador, Georges only works at harvest, two-and-a-half months every two years.
Taste the different oils while watching a short film illustrating what goes on during the period of the pressing. In addition to the olive farm, the owners have opened the rest of the property to visitors, including every nook and cranny of the magnificent press house.

ESL Japan
by Thomas C. Anderson
"I hear and I forget;I see and I remember;I do and I understand."
Ancient Chinese Proverb

As I approach my twentieth year of teaching English in Japan, I see that there are four major troublesome areas for educators here. First of all, I believe that many of us have developed an overly defensive mentality concerning what we do in the classroom. It seems that in everything we plan and do we are consciously or unconsciously trying to prove to ourselves and the Japanese that we are not "just" English teachers (with the unspoken message that we are nothing more than foreigners using English teaching as a means of making money to support ourselves while living here.) How many times have we attended conference presentations or courses and seen grim looking audience members who are determined to find something negative in whatever is said.
ESL Japan - A Call to Stop Bouncing
A second problem area is the tendancy we have to bounce from one buzzword or fad to another. Content-based learning, communicative language teaching, CALL, The Silent Way, video, and most recently learner autonomy are examples of these. Educators are often made to feel guilty or less than "professional" if they do not drop everything and grab onto the latest educational solution.

"The history of English Language Teaching has been characterized by a stream of ever-changing fashions and trends. In most cases, proponents of new methodologies have urged teachers and learners to abandon all their old tools and techniques and embrace the new dogma, and all too often teachers have been willing to follow unquestioningly. One example of this is the way that many highly effective teaching methodologies have fallen out of favor in recent years because they are no longer deemed to be sufficiently `communicative.` This is often in spite of the fact that a wealth of research evidence exists to show that many of them are, in fact, highly beneficial for learners."
--David Barker, Plenary Speaker, Tokai/JALT Professional Development Symposium 2010
A third problem we encounter is that fact that English educators in Japan are expected to be all things to all people. There seems to be no end to the things that "should be done" by good teachers. The problem is that if we tried to do everything that we "should" do, not only would we quickly burn out, we wouldn`t have a life outside the classroom.
Related to this "shoulded to death" problem is one that is caused by educators who are--and I say this at the risk of being politically incorrect--wrapped up in issues. This is not to say that environmental awareness, gender equality, anti-ethnocentrism, and peace education/conflict resolution are not important but it becomes problematical when everything that is not an "issue" is discounted or trivialized. Is it right for us to bring an agenda into our classes and ignore things such as music, relationship problems, sports, fads, and so on that are important to our students? There is also the danger of crossing the fine line between teaching and proselytizing which needs to be considered.
The final problem, which is perhaps an outcome of the previous ones mentioned, can be seen in the common lament we hear that our students are passive, dependant, unwilling to do more than the bare minimum in class, and so on. To use an analogy, I believe that what has happened in Japan is that we struggle and desperately try to find ways to carve or shape our "square peg"students to make them fit into educational round holes rather than carefully considering and analyzing our students and designing "square holes" into which they may move. This must underlie our attempts to improve the quality of English language education in our classrooms in this country.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen ChboskyThe Perks of Being a Wallflower
Author: Stephen Chbosky
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Date: February 1999

Source: Purchased
Genres: Contemporary
Buy the Book • Goodreads
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years, yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what life looks like from the dance floor.
I picked up this book on recommendation from a lot of friends and in anticipation of the upcoming movie adaptation (my interest was piqued by the strong cast). While I enjoyed it, I think I'm past the point in my life when reading it would've made me feel infinite.
Perks is a set of letters from the main character Charlie to an unknown 'friend' (presumably us, the reader), about his freshman high school experience. The book starts on a fairly sombre note, with Charlie telling us about the suicide of his best friend Michael and the loss of his favourite Aunt Helen much earlier in his life. It goes on to describe the rest of a tumultuous year, focusing mainly on time with two new friends he makes early on, step-siblings Patrick and Sam. It tackles heavy themes, such as homosexuality, abuse, social awkwardness, drugs, teenage sexuality and much more.
I have to admit, at first I thought I missed a trick about who Charlie was writing to, but I ended up liking that the letters were written anonymously. It gave me a sense of voyeurism, the enjoyment of reading about someone else's adventures and scandals and knowing just enough to keep it interesting. The writing style which the author uses to represent Charlie is appropriate, but doesn't flow well. Charlie, we find out, likes to ramble on and sometimes I do get lost in his long sentences and mixed thoughts.
I enjoyed the characters, and even knowing as little as you do about them, all are well-defined and had distinct personalities. They made me care about what was happening to them, which in a novel that was just over 200 pages is a tough ask. As far as tackling the issues, I thought the book did very well in presenting and resolving them. What I wasn't too keen on was Charlie himself, really. Firstly, I couldn't understand if he was just socially awkward or if he had an illness. Then when you start unravelling his life, you begin to understand that he has had to go through a lot of struggles that normal teenagers wouldn't normally. However, he does make great friendships, has a great mentor and is loved by his family. He is invited to parties, has a girlfriend, gets straight-As. I found myself not really knowing why I was supposed to feel wholly sorry for him and in the end I couldn't bring myself to.
Either way, I found the book thought provoking and an altogether easy read. There were some very poignant moments that I really enjoyed, like when Charlie is describing how beautiful Sam looks through a photograph. Perhaps I would've enjoyed this book more if I read it in my teens as I feel like some of the shock factor is now lost on me. I will definitely go and see the film, but as for the book, sadly I think I missed the boat.

The Moon
The Moon is the Earth's closest neighbour in space and can be the brightest object in the sky other than the Sun. The distance from the centre of the Moon to the centre of the Earth is less than one hundredth the distance to the nearest planet, Venus. As the Moon's orbit is slightly elliptical, the Earth–Moon distance varies from 356400km to 406700km. The Moon orbits the Earth every 27.3 days but the interval between Full Moons is two days longer than this because the Earth is orbiting the Sun. The Moon always keeps one side facing towards Earth, apart from slight "wobbles", called "librations", which cause 59% of the Moon's surface to be visible from the Earth at some time.
The Moon is 3476km in diameter, roughly one quarter of that of the Earth. This makes it bigger than Pluto and 71% the size of Mercury. As a proportion of its parent planet our Moon is larger than any other moon in the solar system, with the exception of Pluto's moon, Charon, and some Edgeworth–Kuiper Belt objects. For this reason, astronomers sometimes describe the Earth and the Moon as a "double planet". However, the two worlds could hardly be more different. The Moon has a dry, grey, rocky surface and no atmosphere.
The age of the Solar System is 4.567 billion years and the age of the Earth–Moon system is about 4.5 billion years.
This amazing mosaic image was created by UK amateur astronomer Ken Florey. Using a 4inch refracting telescope, Ken photographed the surface near the terminator (the line dividing the sunlit from the night-time surface of the Moon) over the whole range of Moon phases. Near the terminator, the "dawn shadow" on the Moon greatly accentuates the topography. Ken then combined the images digitally.· Lunar Exploration

Varus Build Guide by Betacross2
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Guinsoo AP/AD (Hibryd Damage)
Varus Build
Inicial items
Core items
Some protection items for late game
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Everything you want to know.
(I'm brazillian so I may commit some grammar mistakes in the text)
With the Guinsoo's rework, many champions stopped building it, while others considered doing so. But most people thought that building it wasn't the best choice considering the price and the necessity of stacking it and maintaining the stacks. And as you all know Varus disappeared after they removed flat pen from the game, the same happened with Jayce.
But, I'm a guy who's always trying some new metagames to kill the bore of 4 years of League Of Legends. And when the guinsoo's rework came I first thought with marksman champions who need to proc hits to do some damage like Vayne or Twitch. But those champions don't have the best AP scale in their skills. And with some more thought Varus cane to my mind, he's perfect and I'll explain why.
First his passive gives him attack speed like guinsoo's so he won't have problem stacking it. And the main reason is the W. After you build Nashor+Guinsoo and have the AP runes, you'll have 50 total bonus damage in the W. Not only that, but at skill level 5, W's Blight will do 5+(3%) damage, only in this build. Which means, if you stack 3 Blights and use either your E or your Q to proc it you'll do 24% based on maximum health MAGIC damage. And putting 3 blight stacks won't be hard since you have all the attack speed and the Guinsoo's double hit, and it will be even easier when you build the Cannon. Having all this AP damage, but you'll still have some crit, and your Q's AD damage plus the BORK's AD health% DMG. So I won't enter in details about all Varus's kit but it works. And I promise you won't lose your time, try it on normal game or against bots, and after that you'll notice that this build is more than viable, it's overpowered. Not only that but the build CDR will allow to use your skills with more frequence, and have a 42 second cooldown in your ult at level 3, always use it when you can.
You'll use normal AP runes for this, but with some attack speed if you wan. You also might wanna do a rune page that will give you the (3%) on W's blight when nashor and guinsoo are built. Otherwise you'll lose 3% bonus AP damage.
You can use your normal ADC masteries with attacks speed and all, but you might want magic pen and thunderlord to maximize your damage.
Team Work
Varus will need a lot of protection since he doesn't have mobility, but I recommend playing with a Braum since you'll proc Braum's passive easier and will have a nice protection.

MANATEE -- Another challenger has filed to run against U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Sarasota, in next year's election.
Michael Wayne Rodgers, 30, filed recently under "No Party Affiliation" to run in the 16th Congressional District.
Rodgers could not be reached for comment, but his press secretary, Bobby Winsler, said Monday that Rodgers, who has not run for office before.
"Certainly he is the right man for the job," Winsler said.

AMD Wraith Cooler Reviewed
Just in case you missed it, the TechReport recently published their review of the new AMD Wraith Cooler. Introduced at CES earlier this year, the Wraith Cooler is revised cooler that AMD is now bundling with their new FX-8370 CPU, an Octa-core 4GHz chip that in all likelihood represents the company's last ever 'Piledriver' based desktop CPU. The Like most AMD CPUs they certainly tend to excel in terms of power draw, in fact the FX-8370 is like most of its brethren a 125W part that really does need a decent cooler, especially if you intend to push it.
AMD's standard or stock cooler offering that they have bundled with FX chips in the past has had its critics, not least because it's design does not often offer the 'Cool & Quiet' operation that many users had hoped for, particularly so in terms of decibels produced.
In an effort to clarify the Wraith Cooler's credentials, Jeff Kampman from TechReport got hands on, comparing it not just to the standard AMD cooler we're all familiar with but also the Cooler Master V550. Here's a glimpse of what he had to say:
"AMD's Wraith cooler is a surprisingly solid new take on the stock heatsink formula. If you're building with an FX-8370 CPU and don't intend to overclock, the Wraith is adept at keeping the processor cool while staying whisper-quiet. In fact, it can deliver performance that's not far off Cooler Master's $45 Hyper D92. Not bad for something that comes free in the box."

Fundraising Success - Main
Founded in 1933, Yellowstone Association, the official partner in education with the National Park Service, fosters the public's understanding, appreciation, and enjoyment of Yellowstone National Park an its surrounding ecosystem by funding and providing educational products and services.
Achieving its mission of "preservation through education," Yellowstone Association operates three visitor education divisions which generate millions of dollars that are used to help support educational programs and projects in Yellowstone National Park:
Educational Sales
Conveniently located in park visitor and information centers, Yellowstone Association operates eight bookstores, offering books, films, and games which tell the story about Yellowstone. Visitors take home over 540,000 educational materials each year.
Educational Outreach/Membership
With over 18,000 members who reside in all 50 states and in 29 countries throughout the world, Yellowstone Association's membership programs allow visitors to continue year-round education about the park.
Yellowstone Association Institute
Each year over 4,500 park visitors participate in courses, seminars, and guided educational trips, ranging from wildlife observation to wildflower identification.
Since its inception, Yellowstone Association has provided more than $10 million to the National Park Service through the proceeds from its educational programs and services. Today, Yellowstone Association had reached its physical capacity to expand any of its programs and services, which in turn, hampers its ability to provide additional aid to the park. As part of its long-range plan, the Board of Directors has authorized a $11.2 million facilities upgrade which will be supported by a volunteer-driven capital campaign,
Legacy for Learning.

"Women are as capable mathematically as men, so why aren't there more women in mathematical research? Are female mathematicians as ambitious as men? Are the accomplishments of female mathematicians as recognised as those of men? Dr Lynne Walling (Reader and Head of Pure Mathematics at University of Bristol) explores these questions in her talk ``Women and Men: Ambition in an ambivalent society'' at the School of Mathematical Sciences, The University of Nottingham. She also discusses barriers and discouragement women in mathematics often face, and strategies women might employ."

Reminder: The subway will cost you more money starting Sunday
Starting at 12:01 am on Sunday morning, you will have to pay more to ride subways and buses.
In December, when now-mayoral candidate Joe Lhota was still chairman, the Metropolitan Transit Authority approved what will be the fourth fare hike in the last five years.
Story Continued Below
"Our riders pay more on a per-ride basis than any other rider anywhere in the country," said Lhota at the time.
The hikes, he said, were unfortunate, and were made necessary by inadequate government funding.
Which is true. But the increases also illustrated, like the hikes that came before, that it will always be easiest for the M.T.A. to make up the difference by getting riders, rather than the state, to pay more.
Here's what you can expect: Thirty-day MetroCards will now cost $112, instead of $104; seven-day MetroCards will cost $30, instead of $29.
Single-ride fares will go up from $2.50 to $2.75, while the base fare (the amount deducted from a multi-fare card every time it's swiped) will from $2.25 to $2.50.
Don't bother stockpiling unlimited MetroCards.
If an unlimited card purchased on or before March 2 isn't activated by March 10, it will lose value.
Also, you'll now have to pay $1 to get a new MetroCard.
Fare hikes on the Metro-North and Long Island railroads will begin at 12:01 am on Friday.

The first no-load golf mutual fund teed off on January 4.
The Value Trend Links Fund, aimed at appealing to the high net worth retail investor, will invest in some 20 to 30 stocks associated with the golfing industry and sponsorships of major golfing events. The fund may also invest in golf-related REITs. Even a website exclusively dedicated to the fund is now operating at www.golfmutualfund.com.
The fund has been created because of Jeff Provence's love of golf.
Provence, who formerly ran a computer business, is co-manager and co-founder of the fund's adviser, Value Trend Capital Management in San Diego, Cal. Provence teamed up with his father, Ross Provence, an estate planning attorney. Father and son serve as the portfolio management team for both the Value Trend Links Fund and its new sister fund, the Value Trend Large Cap Fund. A third fund offering, the Value Trend Worldwide Fund has also been registered but has not yet been launched.Value Trend is a registered investment adviser that follows a value investing discipline.
The Provences will pare down the list of purchases from the universe of some 100 to 120 golf-related stocks they have identified. Companies as diverse as Gateway computer and Daimler Chrysler would qualify for inclusion because they are tournament supporters. But Jeff Provence said the he and his father will not put every stock with golf ties in the portfolio.
"The fundamentals have to make sense," he said. The fund's minimum initial investment is $1,000, with a $250 minimum for IRAs.
The board of directors is also composed of golf fans. Board members include Thomas Addis III, who served as president of the Professional Golfers Association of America from 1995 to 1996.
Value Trend also manages $10 million for a few non-profit organizations, retirement plans and wealthy clients. Its money management capability grew out of the elder Provence's clients' estate planning needs. Neither Provences have experience managing a mutual fund.
Nevertheless, they have ambitious plans to build the funds. Jeff Provence hopes to have $25 million in the funds by next year, including $5 million in the Value Trend Links Fund.
The funds are currently available through the retail fund supermarkets of Ameritrade, Jack White, Accutrade and DLJ Direct. In addition to selling direct to investors, the co-managers hope to sell through investment advisers and financial planners looking for a novel fund for clients.

A septic system is made up of two components: a septic tank and a drain field, also referred to as a leach field. Bacteria begin to digest organic materials in the wastewater in the septic tank. From the septic tank, the partially treated effluent, then flows into the drain field for a secondary treatment. Bacteria then complete the digestion and purification process, and naturally purifies as the wastewater slowly infiltrates into the soil. The soil acts as a biological filter, where harmful substances are removed before it reaches the ground water. The main job of a drain field is to purify and disperse the effluent flowing from the septic tank.
Drain field systems are constructed of rock, pipe or chambers for leaching systems. These different aggregate connect together to form a continuous drainage area. They are installed in trenches where the entire bottom is open for unobstructed infiltration of water or in beds for more space. The larger storage volume within the hollow chambers allows peek flows of effluent from the home. The size, design, and location of a drain field is determined by many factors including soil characteristics, the amount of waste water flow, the ground slope, and depth to ground water.
Most septic systems will fail at some point. These systems are designed to have a lifetime of approx. 20 to 30 years, under the best conditions. Eventually, the soil around the drainfield becomes clogged with organic material, clogging up the system and making it unusable.
Many other factors can cause the system to fail well before the end of its predicted lifetime. Root intrusion, soils saturated by excessive rain water, improper location, poor original design or poor installation can all lead to major issues. However, the most common reason for premature failure is improper maintenance by homeowners and/or tenants. When a system is poorly maintained, i.e. not pumped out on a regular basis, sludge (solid materials) build up inside the septic tank, and could potentially flow into the drainfield, clogging it beyond repair.
What to do when my drain field has failed?
In most cases, redesigning and replacing the system in a new location is the only practical long term solution. This type of work should be completed only by a qualified contractor. Local health department permits are required before construction can begin. The "chemical cures" sometimes advertised are ineffective remedies for severely damaged systems.

India, France ink historic civil nuke cooperation pactSeptember 30th, 2008 - 7:32 pm ICT by ANI
By Naveen Kapoor
Paris, Sept.30 (ANI): Indias re-entry into the global nuclear trade market after 34 years was achieved today with the historical signing of a bilateral agreement for civil nuclear cooperation with France.
French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and the chief of the Department of Atomic Energy signed the agreement in the French Presidents office in the Champs Elysee here in the presence of President Nicholas Sarkozy and Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. A joint statement issued after a Summit-level meeting between visiting Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and French President Nicholas Sarkozy here said that the agreement would form the basis of the wide-ranging bilateral collaborations in energy and research.
It was also stated that both countries recognize the need to promote the development of stable sustainable, efficient and affordable energy sources, including nuclear energy.
In this context, they welcomed the agreements adjusting the international civil nuclear cooperation framework to enable collaborations with India.
The statement also said that Singh and Sarkozy reaffirmed the importance attached by their respective countries to their strategic partnership and their commitment to further strengthening bilateral cooperation in a wide range of areas.
It stated that both countries are committed to international peace and security, nuclear non-proliferation, the fight against terrorism and the need to ensure food security and energy for all countries.
The Indian delegation also appreciated French support for permanent membership of India in the UN Security Council, and reiterated that along with other developing countries, it is committed to continue dialogue and collaboration with the Group of Eight developed countries.
On its part, France said that it believed the G-8 needed to be expanded over time to a G-13 that includes India.
Both countries also agreed on the need for improved global economic governance to ensure that globalization and interdependence work for the benefit of all.
They expressed full commitment to consolidating their relationship in the field of defence by increasing the range, level and frequency of their military exchanges, joint exercises, joint program and prospects in the fields of defence industry, research and technology.
It was agreed that the possibility of joint development of Short Range Surface-to-Air Missiles (SRSAM) and of the Kaveri engine for Light Combat Aircraft, besides the upgrading of the Mirage-2000 aircraft, would be accelerated.
On the issue of space cooperation, both governments welcomed the signature of a bilateral framework agreement on cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space.
India described France as an important partner in this field for four decades.
The statement said that the commercial agreement for the use of Indias PSLV for the launch of European satellites marked a new milestone in Indo-French ties.
It said that ISRO and CNES are also working as equal partners in Megha Tropiques Joint Satellite Mission which is progressing well along with SARAL (Satellite for Argos and Altika), slated to be launched in 2009-2010 and which will contribute to better scientific understanding of weather and climate related issues. ]
The two countries also agreed to promote institutional linkages in the space sector, and welcomed the signing of an agreement on training of personnel from the Indian Institute of Space Technology (IIST) and Ecole Polytechnique.
Both countries agreed to a revised bilateral trade target of 12 billion Euros by 2012.
It was agreed that small, medium and micro enterprises of both countries would be further encouraged to increase their cooperation.
The two sides also agreed to further liberalise their visa regime to facilitate issuance of visas for business purposes, particularly concerning students and young people working as trainee or as volunteer in French companies and for people-to-people contacts.
An agreement on Social Security for the benefit of business enterprises and professionals of the two countries was also concluded to facilitate two-way investments.
The two sides also welcomed the creation of the High Level CEOs Forum that would have its first meeting by the end of the year.
It was also agreed to hold dialogue on environmental issues and have set up a joint working group on climate change and technology transfers and their financing. The group should hold its first meeting by the end of the year.
Both sides welcome the signature of the MoU between the Agence Francaise de Developpement (AFD - French Development Agency) and the Department for Economic Affairs of the Indian Ministry of Finance which will allow the AFD to start its operations in India.
India and France also underlined the vitality of Indo-French scientific, technical and educational cooperation.
It was agreed that the Indo-French Consortium of Universities will facilitate the organization of courses of mutual interest at Masters degree and Ph.D levels by Indian and French universities, increase the number of academic institutional tie-ups, scholarships, joint projects, seminars and novel collaborative schemes including substantive contribution of French higher educational institutions to the creation of one of the eight new Indian Institutes of Technology.
The Indo-French Consortium would also facilitate the mutual recognition of degrees, encourage student/faculty mobility and intellectual exchanges.
Both sides reiterated their commitment to intensify cooperation in the field of culture, tourism and to foster people-to-people contacts.
A political commitment to establish an Indian Cultural Centre in Paris at the earliest was also agreed upon.
It was agreed to work towards concluding a visa free agreement for diplomatic and official passport holders.(ANI)

Microlite 74 Swords & Sorcery Release Candidate 1 Available (Free Download)
The first "release candidate" version of Microlite74 3.0 Swords & Sorcery is now available for download. For those who haven't been following my blog posts on this new variant of Microlite74 3.0, Microlite74 3.0 Swords & Sorcery is a special edition of Microlite74 focused on campaigns in a "swords & sorcery" setting. That is, it is designed for "gritty" campaigns with characters who are mercenaries, scoundrels, and explorers out to stay alive and increase their money supply, not for campaigns about heroes questing to save the world from the return of the Dark Lich. In other words, Microlite74 3.0 Swords & Sorcery is designed for play in swords & sorcery campaigns like the worlds of Conan, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, Jirel, Imaro, etc.
While the basic rules of Microlite74 3.0 Swords & Sorcery are similar to those of Microlite74 Extended, many rules have been changed on added to provide a more "swords & sorcery feel." All PCs are human. There are only two classes, Adventurer and Sorcerer. Character levels range from 1 to 6. After reaching 6th level, characters still accumulate experience points and gain an epic point with every additional 50,000 xp. Epic points can be traded in for special advancements, Magic is divided into White, Grey, and Black and the different types of magic have different costs to (and on) a Sorcerer. While there are six levels of spells, Sorcerers can only memorize first and second level spells. All other spells can only be cast as time-consuming rituals (or cast from one-use scrolls). While there are powerful true magic items left over from ancient and powerful (but long dead) civilizations (think normal 0e items), most recent magic items are created by binding spirits to items.
The rules in this first release candidate are in (what I hope will be) their nearly final form. This means they are ready for you to download, proofread, math check, playtest, and the like. Please report any typos, places where the rules aren't clear, or where they seem broken in play so I can fix typoes (of which there are probably a large number) and take a second look at any troublesome rules. I do not plan to add any more rules or make major changes to theese rules -- assuming, that is, there are no major rules problems or omissions found bty readers. The second release candidate will include a section on "swords & sorcery" and well as updated designers notes along with corrections to the rules from proofreaders. With luck, there will be no need for a third release candidate. I am still hoping for a final release sometime in September.
You can download a free PDF copy of Microlite 74 3.0 Swords & Sorcery Release Candidate 1 from Mediafire:
- Microlite 74 3.0 Swords & Sorcery Release Candidate 1 (PDF, about 460K)
Please post comments and correction below or send them via email to m74ss AT retroroleplaying.com. Note that this address will only be valid during August 2011.
Rach's reflections
August 8, 2012 at 11:54 AM
Looking through it I notice a continued lack of Dinosaurs. I was told earlier this summer that there would be Dinosaurs.
If you need I do have quite a few homebrewed monsters I'd be happy to run by you, among them the terror-lizards.
Never know when you'll need them, after all.
August 9, 2012 at 1:36 PM
Sadly, dinosaurs did not happen because they caused too many arguments. Whether they should be listed as a large number of individual types (like 1e) or a few generic types (like RC). If listed as individual types how accurate should their names be (e.g. Brontosaurus or Apatosaurus). Etc. Dinosaurs caused more arguments than using Hit Points as Spell points (microlite20 style) did. After a while, I decided the game did not need dinosaurs after all.
I'd be happy to consider your monsters for M74 as long as you are okay with then being released as 100% Open Game Content under the OGL.

Why wouldn't I be?
Damn shame about those arguments, though.

Introducing Gangnam-gu, Seoul
History of Development
In the Joseon Era, Gangnam-gu was part of the Gwangju-gun Daewang-myeon and Eonju-myeon areas of Gyeonggi-do. In 1963 following the expansion of the city of Seoul, it was absorbed into the city under the jurisdiction of the Seongdong-gu area. In 1975, the area separated from Seongdong-gu, and was established as its own 'gu', or division. The areas Gangdong-gu and Seocho-gu were then divided from Gangnam-gu in 1979 and 1988, respectively.
Location and Area
Gangnam-gu is located in the southeast of the capital, Seoul. The areas surrounding Gangnam-gu are Songpa-gu to the east, Seocho-gu to the west, Seongnam-si in Gyeonggi-do to the south, and Yongsan-gu, Seongdong-gu, and Gwangjin-gu to the north. Its name 'Gangnam' comes from its location south of the Hangang (River). Gangnam-gu is 39.51 square kilometers and makes up 6.5% of the total area of Seoul. It is comprised of 22 'dong', or towns.
There are +-- ---- ---- people who reside in Gangnam-gu which make up +-- ---- ---- households (as of January 1, 2013). Of the population, there are +-- ---- ---- men, and +-- ---- ---- women, a difference in population of around 2,200, or 4%.
Since 1968 Gangnam-gu has been systematically developed according to land readjustment enterprises with the foremost consideration of trasportation problems. This had led the centralization of all roads to have direct routes to Hannamdaegyo (Bridge), Yeongdongdaegyo (Bridge), Seongsudaegyo (Bridge) and Donghodaegyo (Bridge), and the Gangnam-daero, Yeongdong-daero, Olympic-daero, and Nambusunhwan-ro to be connected in cross sections making the roadways look like a chessboard.
Since Gangnam-gu acts as a gateway connecting Seoul to Gyeonggi-do, public transportation such as bus routes and subways are highly developed. Specifically, all six subway lines are interconnected in Gangnam-gu. Beyond that, with the construction and expected completion of the second phase of subway Line 9, the Yeongdong/Dosan-daero extension from Wirye to Sinsa, and the Shinbundang Line (Railroad) of Gangnam-daero, it is anticipated that Gangnam-gu will take on the role of a transportation hub.
Besides mountainous areas like Guryongsan (Mountain) and Daemosan (Mountain) which are 200 to 300 meters above sea level, Gangnam-gu contains good land conditions for housing and roads. More than 60% of residents lease apartments in large high-rise apartment buildings, with the remaining population distributed evenly in upscale condominiums and expanded housing
Industry and Major Institutions
There is almost no presence of the manufacturing industry in Gangnam-gu, rather areas like Sinsa-dong, Nonhyeon-dong, and Yeoksam-dong around Gangnam-daero, Apgujeong-dong, and Teheran-ro's nearby Samseong-dong have developed into areas of commerce and especially in the medical and shopping industries. It is a common sight to see many foreign tourists in areas like Apgujeong-dong, Cheongdam-dong's Rodeo Street, and Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil which have many clinics for cosmetic surgery. Gangnam-gu also contains many prominent institutions such as the Kukkiwon, Korea Customs Service, KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation), Korea International Trade Association, and COEX.
Popular Tourist Spots and Cultural Heritage Sites
Gangnam-gu boasts a dense IT industry in Teheran-ro and next to it, Kukkiwon, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the Seolleung and Jeongneung (tombs of king from the Joseon Dynasty), Bongeunsa (a temple more than a thousand years old), Gwangpyeong Daegun Myoyeok , and many other cultural treasures.
Events and Festivals
Gangnam-gu holds the week long Gangnam Festival in early October. This festival goes beyond simple regional events and spreads the Korean Wave and fashion trends as a global event. Throughout the duration of the events one can see an array of items designed by famous designers and passionate entrepreneurs, enjoy the International Peace Marathon, and watch world famous K-POP performances.

COEX, well known for its shopping and cultural space, is the heart of international exchange among nations with various exhibitions and international seminars
COEX is the biggest convention center and exhibition space in Korea. Directly connected to the Samseong Station of subway line 2, it includes a shopping center, a movie theater, a musical concert hall, exhibition halls and famous restaurants. It is also close to a casino, hotels, department stores, and other various amenities.
COEX had held the G20 Conference in 2010 as well as the 2012 Nuclear Security Summit. Throughout the year COEX has been a prominent place for Asia's top exhibitions, cultural and tourism events. It also offers a chance to visit Korea's biggest marine theme park know as the Aquarium, where visitors can view more than 650 different kinds of aquatic life and have the opportunity to feed some of the sea life.
Because COEX hosts many diverse exhibits in its exhibition halls throughout the year, you're surely to find something interesting to see if you check out the daily exhibit program. Plus, with the concentration of sports, fashion, cosmetic and various other items for sale in the COEX Mall, the place is also widely known for shopping. There is also a large bookstore with domestic and international bestsellers and other international publications available.
COEX has it all. With so much culture, shopping, exhibits, and restaurants, you can spend all day at COEX and never run out of things to see and enjoy.
Bongeunsa Temple
If you need some healing and calming moments in the middle of Gangnam, Bongeunsa Temple will be the right solution for you
In a city block surrounded by the COEX and other tall buildings in Samseong-dong, Bongeunsa is a very peculiar site. It seems dubious to have a temple in the very midst of Gangnam, but this Buddhist temple has existed for countless years ever since it was built in 794 during Silla Dynasty, boasting the history of more than 1,200 years.
Erected in 1986 and completed ten years later, the giant statue of Buddha is one of the symbols of Bongeunsa Temple. Reaching 23 meters in height, the massive statue seems to look over all the inhabitants of the city.
With more than 10,000 devout believers and hundreds of foreign tourists visiting daily, Bongeunsa Temple runs "Temple Life" and "Temple Stay" programs for ordinary people to experience the life in the temple. Temple Life is a program that allows visitors a chance to stay and experience everyday life at the temple while teaching them traditional Korean Buddhist culture and mental training as well as lantern-making and Buddhist worship rites. On the fourth Saturday of every month, the Temple Stay program is carried out in English for the convenience of foreign visitors. It is the place to experience Eastern culture and take photos of beautiful wall paintings that will last a lifetime.
Enjoy your rest and relaxation in the heart of the bustling city! Whisk away your mental fatigue by meditation and hiking to Bongeunsa Temple.
Seonjeongneung (Royal Tomb)
You could have never expected to find a tomb in the midst of "Gangnam"
The royal tomb of Seonjeongneung, located within Samneung Park, is an uncommon sight in the middle of the city. Samneung Park was created around the tombs of the 9th King Seongjong and Queen Jeonghyeon, and their son, the 11th King Jungjong of Chosun Dynasty. Not only it is historically significant, but the beautiful park also offers tranquility apart from the rest of the noisy city. The tombs of Jeonghyeon and Seolleung are lined in a row across from each other, whereas Jeongneung is sited alone apart from his parents, which makes it one of the few lone tombs in Chosun Dynasty. It was known that Jungjong had three queens and seven concubines, but after death he was buried alongside his poor widowed mother instead of his wives.
Seonjeongneung was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in June 30th. 2009. after being recognized for its historic value. King Seongjong spread his cultural policy based on the achievements of King Sejo and King Sejong, and put a lot of efforts on personnel appointments and various cultural developments; therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the early system of civilization was completed during his reign. In addition, Gyeonggukdaejeon, a complete code of law, was compiled to proclaim that the country was a law-governed country.
King Seongjong is also famous due to the incidents with his wife, Disposed Queen Lady Yoon. She was notorious for her jealousy, and as a result, the King had to sentence her to death by poison. After that, Prince Yeonsan, the child of King Seongjong and Disposed Queen Lady Yoon, came to power and was the worst tyrant in Chosun Dynasty. Because of this tragedy, the stories related to King Seongjong are often used in novels, dramas, and movies. So, are you ready to dive into interesting stories of Seolleung in Chosun Dynasty, while exploring the harmonious nature trails in Samneung Park?

It is a symbol of our current political predicament that anytime anyone tells the truth about anything in the contest for the Republican nomination, a new scandal erupts. Newt Gingrich was briefly drummed out of the Republican Party for accurately terming Paul Ryan's destructive Medicare plan a "radical" step toward "right-wing social engineering." Jon Huntsman caused virtually the only stir of his all-but-invisible campaign when he admitted to what the Salt Lake Tribune straight-facedly called the "politically dicey belief that climate change is human-caused and needs to be addressed." And most recently, CBS's John Dickerson caused a contretemps when a stray e-mail revealed that Michele Bachmann was "not going to get many questions" in the debate the network was sponsoring because "she's nearly off the charts."
Being a member of the MSM in good standing, Dickerson was in all likelihood referring to Bachmann's poll position rather than her approach to reality, and uncharacteristically for this race, they happen to be pretty much perfectly proportional. Bachmann has long been loony, but it has been her poll standing that has determined the treatment she has received from the press.
The respectful response of the media to the batshit-crazy statements one hears from the second-tier Republican candidates—candidates who occasionally rise to the first tier and then just as quickly sink down again, having never been serious contenders in the first place—is doing definite damage to this country. How many credulous Americans may have decided to shun the HPV vaccine for their daughters after hearing Bachmann's nutty suggestion that it causes mental retardation? What of the insistence of that ignorant idiot Herman Cain that the "objective" purpose of Planned Parenthood's founding was to "kill black babies before they came into the world. It's planned genocide." Now we've got a new front-runner, Gingrich, who holds, among other crazy notions, that the Obama administration's "secular-socialist machine represents as great a threat to America as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union once did," when his diseased brain is not focusing on his moronic (and racist) contention that "only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together" the inspiration for Obama's foreign policies.
Gingrich is the man of the hour, as amazing and ridiculous as that may be. Like Cain and Bachmann, he is a better bet for a rubber room somewhere than the Oval Office. But this fact—obvious to anyone who's paying attention—does not stop various media machers from pretending long enough to fly his ideological freak flag for him for millions of Americans. When, writing in the Washington Post, Pulitzer Prize–winning pundit Kathleen Parker describes "the sudden surge of Gingrich, who, whatever his flaws and despite the weight of his considerable baggage, is no intellectual slouch," and says he "may be just the ticket"—well, one is left speechless. Pretending that these people might be president, and hence deserve to be treated as if what they say is true, is not merely unjustified—given that the nominee is almost certain to be Romney—but akin to playing accessory to a kind of ongoing intellectually criminal activity.

When you are taking the time to roast garlic make a bunch it freezes so well and is a delight spread on toasted or charred bread! To jazz it up, spread on toast, top with a dollop of fresh ricotta or sheeps milk ricotta and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh thyme and a drizzle of green EVOO.
To roast garlic, cut the top off the whole bulbs to expose cloves. Dress with a little EVOO and season with salt and pepper (fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs make tasty roasting companions as well). Wrap tightly in foil and roast until tender and light caramel in color in a 425F oven.

The Editorial Staff wishes to make clear that the JMM forum is meant only for messages or discussions relating to the scope of the journal (see the "About" section on our front page).
We welcome discussions of the impact of Michael Jackson's music on the broader public, the role of gesture in his performances (both studio and live), the role of rhythm and onomatopoetic effects in his lyrics and any other issue having to do with how we perceive and relate to Michael Jackson's music.
We do, however, not approve of using the forum for messages that are, taken as a whole, unrelated to any of the basic questions of music and meaning that are the scope of this journal, regardless of whether these are formal announcements or messages of a confessional nature, such as the post below. (The post in question is, in addition, not about Michael Jackson, even though the headline indicates this.)
We request that such messages are posted elsewhere, either on personal blogs or on other websites that might find the messages relevant. The Editorial Staff reserves the right to delete any messages from the JMM forum that do not comply with the purposes of the discussion board.
Best regards,
On behalf of the Editorial Staff,
Søren R. Frimodt-Møller, Managing Editor
> One of the more interesting patterns of life is the degree to which one is with-it, in it or out of it. In primary and secondary school, for the most part, I was with-it, in it, part of it. A conformity, an almost total consonance, being with-it implies a conformism just a little ahead of one's time, a bit of a trend setter. This was not a dominant part of my day-to-day ethos in those pre-puberal and adolescent days. But there was enough of this inner comfort station in my location to allow me to say I felt at home, part of the scene, at ease.
> This was true until I was eighteen, when in the early months of that year I moved to another town where I knew noone. I began here, quite seriously, to feel out of step, out of spiritual affinity with my world. That inner vibration that is in tune with the outside disappeared and there it stayed for ten years. I felt ill-at-ease, with a sense of complaint, of fret, of uncomfortableness, of estrangement, of anomie. And here I stayed, in varying degrees of intensity, until I was twenty-seven. These years coincided with the first ten years of my experience as a pioneer in the Baha'i community.
> I was no longer cheerfully and significantly with-it. These were the years 1962 to 1972. These were the sixties, the decade of the great break out from the past: rock-and-roll, Kennedy, Vietnam, assassination, human rights, women and race, sexual freedom. Well, I had a taste of a lot of this, but it was in an emotional climate of discomfort, of out-of-it-ness. I was without a TV for about nine of these years, lived in places like Baffin Island, had a massive attack and three minor attacks of manic-depression and was involved in a new religion which I found immensely attractive. Sadly, I found that none of my friends and relatives were at all interested in this new interest of mine.
> Then, suddenly, in 1972, when I began to teach secondary school, I became famous and popular overnight. It was exhilarating after a decade out in the bleachers, as they say in baseball, out on the perifery of the universe. I was a flower-power kid whose time had come; a man from the counter-culture who was cheered and greeted with various enthusiasms by hundreds of students. My ego was drenched in popularity. I remained with-it for six years, at the top of the charts, loved by adolescents from wall to wall. I sometimes suffered: when my marriage fell apart, when I lost my job, when I had another attack of hypomania, when I felt morally hypocritical. But the with-it, the centre of the stage, feeling stayed with me for six years as I scaled the heights of success and acceptance.
> Then I took a tumble. Out in the doldrums I went. It was 1978 and my bipolar illness got the better of me and this great sense of discontinuity stayed with me until 1982; it returned again in 1985 staying until 1987 before some middle ground was found, a middle ground that has remained for the last ten years. I don't try any more to be with it, except at a minimal survival level because I teach one hundred and fifty students every six months. Here I have to do a lot of talking; I must possess at least a minimum of pretensions to culture, fashion, social life if I am to do my job as a teacher. If a teacher is too unendowed with points of contact with the everyday he or she will get eaten alive. Some general line of conformity, familiarity, of common language, must be part of my lingo, my style, if I am to survive.
> There is an inward pioneer who must accompany the outward pioneer, says Bahiyyyih Nakhjavani in her Four On An Island, if the "endurance and faithfulness are to convey life and joy to the community in which he serves." Being with-it comes to take on special meaning for the pioneer. To maintain a sense of perspective, one must cultivate a detachment from one's surroundings. I don't mean to imply this is easy, as this deceptively familiar phrase rolls off my lips. Life has so much to involve the pioneer. I have found the hosts of divine inspiration descending on me, at least that is an apt phrase for a process that has been truely invigorating, that has recreated me with a conscious sense of the process beginning in 1972: a gnat into an eagle, a drop of water into rivers and seas, and an atom into lights and suns. One still suffers, but one senses that there is meaning below the surface of the kick you are getting in the teeth.
> There is so much news, so much to read, though, that being with-it in a cultural sense is not that hard as the years go on. One learns to define this with-it-ness in a new way, with just enough of the popular isms, wasms, the quotidian, to play one's part on the stage, on the show, in the theatre of life. I don't feel the same with-it-ness I once did. This time the edges are softer; the detachment is much more pronounced. The inspiration of the artist, which has descended on me as if from some secret source, is palpably perceptable. There is a touch of humility, a sprinkle of sacrifice, enough trust to provide that leven to render the matchless gifts to God in return for the abundance that has been showered my way by the rains and tempests in this dark heart of an age of transition.
> I can now be with-it and still drop out when I want. I rarely read newspapers any more; I watch little TV, see few movies. If a book is popular and being read by many it is unlikely that I will read it. I garden little; indeed the things that keep most people busy most of the time seem to be far removed from my agenda. I nibble around at the edges of this vast brontosaurissmus society: I sit with my wife and son and watch NYPD Blue and ER where the pictures go so fast the mind can't light on anything too long to think and get bored, like one of those slide programs you used to see when you were young. But this time the slides are shoved through so fast noone can complain of mental fatigue. I occasionally sit and watch a little sport to preserve some continuity in life from the time I watched my first baseball game in 1953, when I was nine. I usually stay for 5 or ten minutes, just enough to give me a feeling of sharing with my family.
> Once upon a time when I was really with it I used to read two newspapers a day and at least one news magazine a week. I was proud of my intellectual pretensions when I read The Guardian Weekly, or my efforts to be part of the community by reading the Whyalla News or the West Coaster. Now I browse hurriedly through the West Australian following the rule of prostitutes in Athens: never, never on a Sunday. The latest serial killer in Perth, or LA, or the most recently traded football players at the beginning of the season might as well be nameless and faceless Klingons, guys from where Worf comes, a whole unknown race really.
> I've been getting with-it in a small coterie of people I find in books. Instead of this mass consumption of popular culture which seems to have been progressively turning me off for decades now, I get about twenty books out of three libraries and consume as much of them every week as I can stand. I don't recommend this to everyone. Watching Roy and HG on Saturday night, or a good movie or video would be much more entertaining and easier on the eyes, especially after an exhausting week in the fast lane, in some office, or even driving a truck, or a bus. But over the years I've caught some disease; you could call it printitus. I seem to require my mind to be stimulated rather than my eye. I know the two cross over somewhere and that Amusing Yourself To Death, the name of one of the latest books on TV, is not all that happens when the videot machine is going full blast. But there it is. I've become some kind of book worm. It seems to be an essential preliminary to writing poetry, which is not everybody's sport.
> Mind you I'm not studying. I don't have to remember the name of the latest ephemeral revolutionary party in Chile, or the names of the Russians or Yugoslavs with long and tortured polysyllabic identifiers. The prices of coco in Ghana, what's happening on the Hang Sen, Nikkei Dow, the FTSE100, Dow Jones: I leave all of this and just consume print that seems to say something to my mind, my values, my understanding of life. I don't expect everyone to find this sort of thing a turn on. We all get with-it in different ways. Stories about agriculture, about economic indicators, about fashion, about trips to Nepal, about cars, bikes and machinery in general I have virtually eliminated from my repertoire. Most of the stuff about "moiders, scandals and disgusting acts of rape and torture", recipies for good books, I have studiously avoided for years now.
> Names of movie stars, members of parliament, who is or was in the Senate, the comings and goings of the latest entrepreneurs, the latest clever turns of phrase in TV ads-have all left me far, far behind in not-with-it land. Perhaps all this is just a sign of getting older, getting closer to death, seeing so much of earthly affairs and their media agenda as unimportant, part of the vanity and empty of so much of the day-to-day round bearing only the mere semblance of reality. So much of this stuff seems trivial if you have cancer of the esophagus, the colon, or the liver, or your child, now married, has a carpet which smells pervasively of a combination take-away of pizza and urine. Somehow it seems irrelevant to me, a man in my 60s, the life and activities of Michael Jackson. Sylvester Stallone turned sixty a year or so ago, says the TV magazine.
> I think what is happening to me now as I have turned the corner of the mid-years(65-75) of late adulthood(60-80) on my way to old age(80++, if I last that long, is a decisive change of sensibility, character, part of it generational. This change makes it impossible to participate in much contemporary culture except in a peripheral sense. There are so many forces at work on us now, so many fronts to cover, if one is going to have at least some pretensions of being with-it. I seem to have discovered somethings that I don't want to change; maybe this is the core of something I call me, that has no desire to be with-it, in-it. It is something I don't want to change, to accommodate my personality to, much of self-improvement and the how-to section of bookstores hold no attraction for me any more. I'm out in the cold with my own well-worn but comfortable and not-so-comfortable out-of-it notions.
> I take a wide range of truths to be self-evident and they form the structure and centre of a life. I try not to impose them on others, but live them quietly from day to day. It is these truths I want to be with, in, for, above, over and out. I sift them through an orgy of reading and living and they are presently helping me to sail through middle life and- one day-old age. I acquired them when in my teens and they have served me well. They have helped me decide what to be with and when to be out of it. I don't mean to imply the process is easy, far from it. For there is an element of restlessness in the psyche that will not leave us alone but continually asks for more. I'm still hungry:but now it's for the phoenixes of beauty that cannot die. There is, too, a fragrance in the air that can nearly be tasted. Life is often not tranquil and it would seem, rarely am I with it.

Campus X Tor Vergata University in Via di Passolombardo 341.
The models and the softwares developed for the realtime 3D exploration of the Colosseum
area in time will be shown, with focus on their usage on the TimeMachineVisor.
July - mission in Corea
Ultramundum Foundation will be among the top innovators that the italian government will present
to selected corean companies during the italian days in Seoul and Yeosu, during the
2012 international expo.
May - Steps program presentation
The first round of the Steps program
has been presented in Turin by Thales Alenia Aerospace and a group of companies and
research organizations. Steps (Sistemi e Tecnologie Per l'Esplorazione Spaziale, 'System
and technologies for space esxploration'), developing new technologies for the exploration
of the Moon and Mars, is a public-founded research project worth 14 million euros. The
Ultramundum Foundation's 4DMoon has been
used for the simulation of the landing
stage descent on the south pole in the Shackleton crater. Thanks to the precise 3D
realtime geographical reconstruction of the whole Moon, created with the planet-wide
technologies of Ultramundum, visual sensory input to the guidance system has been
simulated and tested. The virtual moon from the Foundation has been widely used for
presentations and simulations from the very start of the project.
March - Second test of the TimeMachineVisor in Rome
The TimeMachineVisor has been tested by the
Colosseum state administration directly in the square of the monument. Points of
installation have been decided and some minor adjustments to the Foundations's 3D model of
320AD Rome requested.
During the test a crowd of tourists formed and all of them had the opportunity to
experience first-hand this revolutionary tecnology.
October - Ultramundum at the Frankfurt book fair
The Time Machine Visor system will be presented
at the annual book fair: it is an amazing instrument: when the user grabs it, he can look
around as if he is using a classic binocular, panning and tilting and zooming; the
internal high-performance computer creates a tree-dimensional interactive live
reconstruction of the very same place in realtime. The result is amazing: the past comes
live and the user can really feel he is in the same place, in another time. Different time
travels are possible, allowing the interactive exploration of the same area in many points
in history . Touristic and trivia informations are shown in the visor in one of the many
languages available. The user can, as with a normal camera, take pictures, superimpose
people posing in front of the system and send them as postcards. A truly affordable time
travel for everybody.
July - Ultramundum beats Google in the 3DMoon 'space race'
The 4DMoon project is now at version
2.0 and has been published as freeware on-line July 15 2009, Google announces publishing
Google Moon on july 21. So the Foundation has beaten the powerful american corporation
right on the 'cutting edge' tecnology of interactive real-time 3D planets. Without any
budget, without any sponsors, Ultramund succeeded in publishing an extremely advanced
software to celebrate 40 years from the man landing on the Moon. Other projects with large
budgets often do not arrive to a fraction of this result; Ultramundum is again an italian
world leader in the sector of 3D interactive real-time environments capable of ranging
from planetary scale down to sub-meter details at ground level.
May -The book of Ultramundum is officially presented in the
National Library in Rome
The Ultramundum project is inspired by a book
with the same name. This study, written by Fulvio Dominici Carnino, current president of
the Foundation, is so revolutionary that until today it has been decided not to publish
it. The creation, as foreseen in the book, of services like Second life, Facebook and
others has made some of the anticipations not so unbelievable anymore. For this reason
from today everybody can read what awaits makind in its digital future. The book is
published with a CreativeCommons license, the open source for intellectual works. The
language the book is written in is italian, but a live english translation has been
started in the Ultramundum TV channel.
May -The complete 3D model of the Moon is published
Ultramundum, for the 40th year from the landing of the first man on the Moon (Armstrong,
July 21 1969), publishes in open source the interactive
3D model of the whole Moon, with Apollo missions landing sites. The Foundation is
faster than Google that is working at the same project with a version of Google Earth but
probably is suffering from the same problems of fragmentation of NASA data.
March -The Foundation site is selected by Paramount pictures
as official webmaster of StarTrek
Ultramundum is happy to contribute to the success of the latest StarTrek movie, that since from the
very start has been an example of the ideals of the Foundation and has depicted, with the
'holodeck', something very close to the products we are working on.
July -The Foundation is invited to PEACH summer school
Our president, Fulvio Dominici Carnino, held a seminar on ICT e cultural heritage at
Dubrovnik, Croazia.
February - The Foundation is invited to IMAGINA 2008
Ultramundum has been invited to the prestigious event IMAGINA in Montecarlo, one of the
most important moments in Europe for the premiere of important projects on virtual
reality, 3D movies and videogames. Our president Fulvio Dominici Carnino, wih VIEW
conference, will present the Rome 2.0 project. It is the third year the Foundation is
invited: in the 2007 edition PID 2.0 was presented, in the 2006 edition the president presented the 3D
Torino GAMES project with huge public success. The Foundation, being the only invited
organization from Italy, was representing the entire Country.
October - The Foundation is invited to SMAU 2007
Ultramundum has been invited to the biggest italian ICT trade show, the new Rome 2.0
project will be presented.
July - The Foundation is invited to TRANSISTOR SUMMIT 2007
Ultramundum has been invited to the event TRANSISTOR
SUMMIT in Prague, where a cource on the UltraPeg technology has been held to jung
talents from the eastern european countries.
October - The Foundation is invited to SMAU 2006
Ultramundum has been invited for the R&D section of the biggest italian ICT trade
June - UltraPort is used for financial analysis
TubeGraph, a 3D financial analysis system, is distributed by the Foundation, UltraPort has
been used to create a virtual
environment where complex economic parameters can be seen side by side to exploit the
natural 'bandwidth' of the mind when graphical informations are involved. TubeGraph is a
platform where, thanks to the OpenSource approach, everybody can integrate their data and
analize them in an innovative fashion.
(italian version only, translators welcome).
March - The Foundation is at the Game Developers Conference
