Harari claims that animals live in a dual reality because of the fact that they live in a world of physically objective events and things and simultaneously they are aware of a stream of subjective experiences which include joy desire and fear.
From a third person perspective, it is obvious that animals have contact with an environment that obeys certain laws and that the nature of this contact is sometimes a consequence of a moving force or principle within them. Asserting on the other hand that animals are aware of their own experiences attributes to them a complexity they may not have and one in which we could not possibly be aware of from a third person point of view given the fact that there is no possible first-person point of view confirmation of such awareness. We, humans, are acutely aware of the difference there is between our species and the species of all other animals. Were they to possess this reflective form of awareness we would find them much more like us then we do. This is not a scientific question. No scientist could "discover" that an animal had this form of self-reflective awareness. Our species is defined not just by a host of powers that animals do not possess such as the power of language, but we are defined by these powers being what P M S Hacker called two-way powers: powers to do things or refrain from doing at will. This is a philosophical position arrived at on the basis of a tradition of philosophizing stretching back to Aristotle and forward to Kant and Wittgenstein. Harari then wishes to claim that we humans can be said to live in a triple layered reality because above and beyond what animals experience in their stream of consciousness we experience stories about gods, nations corporations and money. It is somewhat controversially suggested in this context that we believe that we make history with our actions and decisions but this is not true because history is some kind of epiphenomenon of the stories that have woven themselves into our form of life. Harari also strangely claims that we have not changed much as a species since the Stone Age and the progress of our species is owed mostly to the cultural impetus of these stories–an impetus that has taken us from the Stone age to the silicon age.
Philosophy is conspicuous by its absence in many of Harari's reflections on the progress of culture, except perhaps for a few passing references to philosophers living in isolation in ivory towers. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle certainly did not live in such isolation but Plato and Aristotle were at work on the creation of institutions of education which would in the future of the culture provide us with the setting(including the towers of learning at universities) to educate the citizens of our civilizations. In Ancient Greece pupils were educated in the hard-won knowledge gained through the elenctic method of Socrates, the dialogues of Plato and the more systematic written reflections of Aristotle on the nature of knowledge and metaphysics. If in our time one wishes to insist that philosophers live in ivory towers that might actually be the case now, and if this is the case, it is probably an attempt to escape the plague of postmodernist thinking that has infected our society. Postmodernist thinkers do not see the role that knowledge has played in the growth of our culture: they do not believe that justified true belief is the gold standard and they do not believe that imaginative stories are merely interesting cultural productions which in the past probably forced us to theorize more systematically in the way that Aristotle did. Even Science or more correctly some modern scientists have been infected by the postmodernist plague upon all our houses when they have insisted that there is no truth, or knowledge about reality only provisional theory and hypotheses that must be tested ad infinitum. Poppers scientific formula of the problem to which we find a trial solution and then eliminate the errors does not end in truth and knowledge but only another problem. Newtons work must be subject to error elimination by Einstein who was living in the modernist era and perhaps we could accept his work as an evolution of Science by the man who had read Kant at the age of 14 and believed in the philosophers God. But what do we do about those scientists that felt time travel was possible because of the imaginative thought experiment(story) of a man traveling on a beam of light away from a clock face. What do we do about quantum theorists who not only wish to deny the gold standard of science, namely causation but also wish to deny the gold standard of philosophy, namely, the philosophical principle of non-contradiction: insisting upon the intelligibility of a story about a cat that is neither dead nor alive.
The gold standard of culture for the Philosopher was already registered by Plato when he pointed to the necessary role of knowledge in the polis if it was not to fall into ruin and decay. Of course one then needs then to reflect upon the nature of this knowledge in the way that Aristotle and Kant did but that is not the same thing as dismantling its significance as has been done in the name of post-modernism. Insisting as Harari has done earlier upon a distinction of "new knowledge" and "old knowledge" is, of course, following consistently Popper's downward spiral of his problem-trial solution-error elimination schema. The consequence of this is that both truth and knowledge and their associated cognitive attitudes are marginalized
Reaching back into the mists of history as Harari does is nevertheless an interesting adventure. He suggests that a Cognitive revolution occurred 70,000 years ago that allowed Homo Sapiens an evolutionary advantage over the Neanderthals. The former, it is claimed began talking about the things in their imagination. There is no direct or indirect evidence for this claim as was pointed out earlier but there is certainly an interesting hypothesis to be formed relating to the ability to tell and understand stories and its relation to later supervening cultural activities of telling the truth and reasoning about the foundations of knowledge. The activity of storytelling where one imagines things that did not exist may have occurred later than Harari suggests but the hypothesis that our storytelling power pre-dated our more developed cognitive powers is very interesting. Kant certainly thought that our imagination was involved in the schematization of our concepts but this was an imagination that was working with the materials of perception and intuition in the service of the conceptualization of our experiences and the cognitive attitude of truth. That is, consciousness when it is operating at the conceptual level is asserting that something is the case: e.g. the lightning struck the tree. Now the imagination may well be brought into play when the mind seeks an answer to the Aristotelian question "Why did this change occur?" and a god is thought to be the cause of the lightning but we know that Aristotle himself postulated physical processes to be the cause of physical events such as this,i.e. he was postulating the pre-eminence of material and efficient causes for the explanation of events in the inorganic world. Aristotle would have dismissed any suggestion that a living organic being with its constitution could have secreted electrical power of this magnitude on the basis of his examination of the organs of such beings. The world may have been an infinite continuum of change but for him, there were kinds of being and kinds of change which required inductive investigation if one was to ascertain the essences of such beings and kinds of change. For him, God was a pure form that was in some sense active in the way that principles and thought are active. It would not be easy therefore to exactly specify the Aristotelian way in which God may have been involved in the lightning strike on the tree. Being had many meanings for Aristotle and it is not out of the question that he would have been sympathetic to Thales and his enigmatic utterance "All things are full of gods" but these gods(or God for Aristotle) would have been thought-like(a Gods thought would be very different to ours and have a connection to the physical world that is different to our thought) and resemble principles or a principle more than they would spiritual "ghost-like things". It should also be pointed out in this discussion that the talk of God or gods of most of the Greek philosophers were not items of the imagination gleaned from stories, but rather condensations from clouds of argumentation. Even Kant would have objected to the claim that his philosophical idea of God originated in the imagination. For Kant God was an idea of reason that interestingly enough was only one of three ideas. The idea of God for Kant, in contrast, was not to be explained in the theoretical terms of Aristotle but more in terms of the moral law.
We should also remember that Einstein believed in Spinoza's "philosophical" view of God and his reasoning may well have been Aristotelian and Kantian. Newton too believed in God but it is difficult to believe that his theological training at Trinity College Cambridge did not relate to the arguments of the philosophers. Wittgenstein's belief in God was also based on argumentation not of the demonstrative theoretical kind but rather of the practical ethical kind. All of these figures, Newton, Kant, Einstein, and Wittgenstein of course probably read the bible closely but this reading process would more resemble a critical interpretative activity than a receptive emotional process of identification and introjection. These latter two processes may well involve the imagination whereas the former would require reasoned argumentation.
Harari's cultural portrait, however, may be appropriate for the historical period prior to the advent of philosophical reasoning about our experience. It is undoubtedly true that we once believed in stories about gods doing great things and our temples were the centre of our social existence. It is not certain, however, as Harari claims that the gods fulfilled a function which is today provided by modern corporations. They were indeed legal entities but it can also be argued that they functioned more like a government than a corporation.
The problem with the idea that because something is a legal entity it is somehow a fictional being has been discussed earlier. Wittgenstein in response to the tiresome postmodernist philosophical tendency to wish for a theoretical logico-mathematical demonstration of the truth of statements on pain of being labelled "subjective" or "fictional", claimed that the final justification for a large number of our claims is what groups of people do when they are speaking or what a person does, for example, when he is grieving. This for him was a real objective justification. Actions spoke louder than words. The problem with regarding gods or corporations as fictional entities is that it fails to understand the philosophical and ontological character of action which has a beginning, intermediate stages, and an end and is related to other actions and objects which themselves are embedded in larger environments. Stanley Cavell, in the spirit of Wittgenstein, once said that naming actions was a difficult and sensitive business because they are related to the agents thought about both the ends to be pursued and the means to achieve these ends. Actions, in other words, are intentional and just as it is almost impossible to capture the philosophical idea of God or gods in a story so it is difficult to capture the world-creating intention of action in an ancient narrative. If this is true then it is possible that biblical narratives were not very good attempts to express the knowledge of "knowers" who had thought deeply about the principles of existence and the intentions of men. Receivers of these narratives at the time of their creation might then, not have been as ignorant as we might like to believe. If men 6000 years ago could be working for a God in the way we work for corporations they might have had more "knowledge" than our modern reconstructions give them credit for. We should remember here that it takes a considerable amount of organization and cooperation to build a city and create laws which will govern the intentions of men. Laws are actions of government but no less real for that. Looking at the Bible with a pair of post-modernistic theoretical sunglasses may not be the best means of retrieving the wisdom in these ancient writings. Of course the assumption "God exists" is a key assumption of the bible but it is the nature of that existence which is the most important hermeneutical question here and not whether one can theoretically demonstrate the existence of something which may have an essentially practical kind of existence. "Figments of the imagination", "subjective" "inter-subjective", "fictional" are all theoretical terms and may not be categorically relevant to the kind of analysis required to analyze important ancient phenomena. The activity of living in a city obviously raised the levels of awareness of its inhabitants. Money and writing of a rudimentary kind appeared to assist in the task of organizing everyone's actions more efficiently. The collection of taxes became possible over large territories. The appearance of pharaohs who "embodied" the principle that organized one's activity previously transformed something that was previously abstractly real into something that was concretely real. It is not absolutely certain that this principle of kingship was not a "modern" "invention" of the times which we in our times no longer see the meaning of. An impersonal process was being made personal. What we ought to do ethically to maintain the status quo of the city was being transformed into the "personal brand" of a fallible man whose imagination was being overloaded by the trappings of power.The formal task of the pharaoh was to enable the continuity of a network of practices which had served the community well but as we have so often seen in history the focus of such figures rapidly shifts to themselves and their emotional needs. Perhaps this was the first "modern" mistake which was corrected when the Greeks attempted to restore the idea of an abstract principle in both theoretical and practical contexts. Was "the law" made more "realistic" by the presence of a fallible judge who had been untimely ripped from the womb of everyday human activity? The Greeks, especially Socrates and Aristotle sidestepped this "invention" and urged a belief in the model of the knowledge bearing man as the source of justice and truth. The virus of modernism may be ancient as may be the treatment. It is also important to note that Harari's idea of the personal brands which he uses the figures of business and entertainment to illustrate would not have found a place in the Socratic "healthy city": the life of wealth and pleasure was only ranked third out of three alternatives spoken about in the Platonic dialogues. The life of the politician leading his noble life in accordance with the principle of areté and the philosopher leading his examined life was superior forms of life for the ancient Greeks. The fact that our modern lives are so dominated by figures from the business and entertainment worlds would have led the Greeks to believe that though we might be leading very busy distracted lives in a world free of abstract ideas, respect for politics and Philosophy, this form of existence was a regression from that flourishing life they once talked about. Here we find no "scientific" talk of "fictional" or "imaginative" or "subjective", only talk of abstract principles and concrete "misapprehensions" or "imitations of the real".
Harari makes some interesting observations concerning the authority of writing which originally was confined to the educated elite. If as is being proposed here that the legal process of regulating men's intentions is not to be equated with either the practical imagination of human-like being or beings(God or gods) but rather to the meaning of the activity which indeed is connected with the meaning of the word legal: that is, to tie people together, then we can draw the conclusion that the meaningful activity of a collective of men has a natural authority. Writing grows out of the meaningful activity and also acquires a natural authority because it is considered, or reflective, speech: words are written with the intention of being considered carefully and with the intention of being responded to carefully, as is the case when the laws are written down. It is with this kind of cognitive attitude that we should approach the Bible–not with the kind of white wax tablet mentality of the skeptical scientist who believes that meanings are "subjective" or have to be concretized or proved before he can understand them. We need to approach the Bible with the cognitive attitude of the philosopher armed with hermeneutical theory, who like Paul Ricoeur or any serious philosopher that reads the Bible, understands that meanings are the dwelling place of laws and principles and who also understands that the language of the bible is symbolic or enigmatic and needs to be interpreted in accordance with a battery of philosophical concepts. "In the beginning was the word and the word was God" may not, that is referred to a fictional being but to the power of language to "reveal" the principles or laws embedded in our activity and speech. The authors of such a complex text were concerned with much more than telling a story about a fictional or imagined being. Only a scientist(not Newton or Einstein) could come up with such a tale. In this context, it should also be remembered that Socrates did not write anything because he supposedly believed that writing would lead eventually to a general forgetfulness of the more important things of life. Plato disagreed and when we get to Aristotle it is clear that he thought that not writing the difficult abstract ideas of philosophy down might also lead to a general forgetfulness of them. Harari then discusses education and the writing down of precise scores in tests which in our bureaucratic schools then supplanted the original philosophical intentions of education. This might be regarded as evidence for the Socratic position. It is indeed as Harari claims that writing plays a major role in the description of our social and physical reality and the truthfulness of these descriptions is vital to social order and stability. These descriptions are also, of course, the material historians use for their narratives about the rise and fall of cities and empires.
Harari then points out how excessively bureaucratic regimes can even willfully falsify the truth of written descriptions. This is obviously not what is meant by the "original authority of writing" which the bureaucrats rely upon in their deceptions in the same way that people who lie rely on their hearers to make the very natural assumption that they are telling the truth. To question the natural authority of writing because of the behaviour of those who abuse that authority is itself a form of bureaucracy. A form of bureaucracy that undermines the meaning of meaning and the respect we have for the authority of abstract principles.
The argument continues with a strange bureaucratic argument to the effect that our religious writings function similarly pressuring social and political actors to follow prescriptions. It is claimed that these writings make a claim to omniscience which may not be the case.
As a Historian, Harari should know that what is written in the Bible has many sources and that many thinkers in history, philosophical(Spinoza)and non-philosophical(e.g. Tolstoy) have pointed out that some of the things written in the Bible have had bureaucratic intentions and are clearly ill-considered, even by the standards of clear thinkers of those days. Some of the things written are clearly metaphorical because of the difficulty in representing an abstract principle in concreto. Taking metaphorical language literally obviously leads to absurdities. Some things ought also to be taken with a pinch of salt considering that we are dealing with documents that originate from the childhood of our culture. Harari rightly points this out but also objects to the Biblical accounts of physical catastrophes being connected to the sinfulness of large communities of people
It is rightly pointed out that this is self-centered thinking typical of early childhood but Harari does not, as we do, wish to apply a principle of tolerance to such very early reflections. In spite of this observation, it has been argued by some scholars that the New Testament transcends some of the writings of the OT, e.g. in its insistence that "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". So there are signs of a growing self-awareness in the Holy Book. Julian Jaynes also points to this growing complexity of consciousness even in the OT where there is a distinctive shift from men hearing and responding to the voice of God to men reflectively considering what would be in accordance with the wishes of God. This same author would of course hotly contest Harari's account of the origins and evolution of consciousness with mountains of evidence as he would have contested the optimistic account of the kind of language we spoke 70,000 years ago based on the minimum of "evidence" presented.
Harari maintains that the Bible shows no interest in the kind of understanding scientists and economists search for. But it does show considerable interest in the ethical and psychological well being of the reader when it speaks of loving other things outside of oneself such as God and one's neighbour. Admittedly the New Testament is less occupied with historical and political matters and more concerned with telling the story of the life of Jesus in the spirit of exemplary necessity, the spirit of how one ought to live. It is important to point out in this context that this was a new beginning for man, the Biblical equivalent of the Greek focus upon the importance of the knowledge of the workings of the mind and its importance for the flourishing life. Of course, this narrative was to have a greater appeal to the masses than the hylomorphic theory of Aristotle which required the presence of an educational system before it could be fully appreciated.
Harari concludes this section by claiming that fictions enable us to cooperate better. One wonders whether he is questioning the veracity of the life of Jesus. Of course, it is maintained that he was the son of God, born of a virgin mother, walked on water etc, but should not this be taken with a grain of salt in a spirit of tolerance for the immature thinking of the time? It could even be the case, if we assume a knowledge of the Greeks and their adherence to a philosophical God, that the author used the above "falsity's" to attach a kind of holy significance to the life of Jesus. The above "false" elements of the narrative could be an intended fiction, not intended to deceive but intended heuristically for self-education. This in its turn, of course, inevitably leads to better cooperation with neighbours and strangers(if someone steals your coat offer him your cloak, if someone strikes you turn the other cheek). One can, however, ask this question: would the truth of the above collection of ethical prescriptions be more important to the cooperation referred to than the falsity of those parts of the elements of the narrative designed to rhetorically "persuade" the readers of the importance of this mans life? (or even the lives of the prophets and kings of the old testament).
The touchstone, however, of the real for Harari is not the truth of the ethical statements and their capacity for the facilitation of cooperation but rather suffering. The reason for suffering might be the "fiction" of "Deus Absconditus"(Julian Jaynes) but the suffering itself is real, Harari proclaims. Dying for one's country or for the money of corporations or for ones religion is dying for inventions of the imagination. The section ends with an ominous prediction that the twenty-first century will create a greater number of totalitarian "religions"(does he mean "regimes?" than emerged in the twentieth century(totalitarianism was a twentieth-century phenomenon) and these movements will be assisted by scientific biotechnology and computer algorithms that are no longer able to distinguish between what is real and what is fictional. Virtual heavens and hells will emerge and it will become important to distinguish science from religion.
This from the same author that claims that Humanism and Nazism are "religions".

Developer/OwnerThe Judiciary, State of Hawaii
ArchitectArchitects Hawaii Limited
LocationKona, Hawaii
The Kona Judiciary Complex will be a new and modern courthouse in West Hawaii to consolidate the dispersed existing court facilities around Kona. The new Complex will centralize the Judiciary Third Circuit West Hawaii operations into a single location and will house three circuit courtrooms, two district courtrooms and two family courtrooms including Judge's Chambers, holding areas and spaces for Third Circuit departments and programs.
The new three-story facility will occupy approximately 150,000 SF and includes an approximately 10,000 SF central plant. The structural system consists of structural steel framing, composite metal deck and concrete topping. The roof is comprised of pre-engineered cold-formed steel trusses with metal deck and the foundations are shallow spread footings and/or continuous strip footings. The central plant consists of load-bearing concrete and masonry walls supporting a steel roof.
The Science and Design of Structural Engineering
The high seismicity of the Big Island results in very high seismic forces. The seismic force-resisting system of the new building consists of a bearing wall system with special reinforced concrete shear walls. The majority of the walls at the ground floor of the southeast side of the main building will be retaining walls. These walls are designed for lateral earth pressures, including seismic forces, imparted by the retained soil and will be supported on shallow continuous strip footings. Pre-engineered cold-formed trusses with metal deck are used to frame the roof. Special attention was required in detailing the connections of the folded-plate roof diaphragm to the concrete shear walls.
Client Benefits
In order to provide flexibility and hence competitiveness in the bids, BASE detailed an option on the construction drawings to allow the use of precast in lieu of cast-in-place concrete for all load-bearing exterior and interior walls. This bid flexibility required our office to run the lateral analysis both with cast-in-place walls and precast walls. The location of reveals around the exterior was closely coordinated with the architect to coincide with the potential location of precast panel joints.

Rotary encoders are also known as shaft encoders. They are an electro-mechanical device that is used to convert the angular motion or position of the axle or shaft to a digital or analogue code. There are two types that are mainly used in industries in order to get the most benefits out of such an encoder. They are the absolute and the relative encoders. The absolute ones are angle transducers, meaning that their output shows the current position of the shaft. The relative ones provide information about the motion of the shaft. The information gathered is processed after that as position, distance and speed. So, let's talk a bit about these encoders and see how you can benefit from such a device.
First off, rotary encoders can be found on all types of applications. But, they are most commonly found on applications that require unlimited and precise shaft rotation. They are used in industries ranging from robotics, input devices for computers, radar platforms that rotate, controlled stress rheometer all the way to special purpose photographic lenses. There are a few technologies that different types of a rotary encoder use in order to achieve their goal. The conductive technology uses copper tracks that are etched onto a PCB as a way to encode the info. The conductive areas are sensed by contact brushes. The optical technology uses a shining light that goes through a glass or a metal disc and shines onto a photodiode. They are one of the most used types and they are quite sensitive to dust. On-axis magnetic technology uses a special magnet in order to encode the information, the magnet is a two pole neodymium. Off-axis magnetic technology uses rubber which is bonded to ferrite magnets that are attached to a metal hub.
A lot of applications require a high precision, especially when it comes to rotating machinery. By getting rotary encoders for all of the machines that require one, you will make your life a lot easier. Plus, you will increase the efficiency of your company when it comes to making the product. As with such high precision, there will be fewer cases when you have to throw out a faulty product. This is what everyone who is working at such a company wants. The product will be of a higher quality and the profits may reach an all-time high. So, ensure a good year for your business by getting a rotary encoder.

There seems to be a bit of confusion regarding the taxanomic classification of Aeonium arborescense. So, I'll leave it at probably in the Crassulacae family, possible genus Crassula ovata, species Aeonium. This is stated otherwise in more than a handful of references. So, not to be "hung up" on this I'll move on to why we like, how to care for, and what to expect from Aeonium.
This plant is enamored for the foilage. All are rosettes of perfect form...some are almost pancake in form and look like a terantula because they have so many "hairs" on the leaves (A.tabuliforme). They come in a crisp spring green (A. glandulosum), ruddish red almost black (A. arboreum 'Zwartkop'), and some are variegated (A. glutinosum or A. 'decorum Sunburst').
Aeonium are native to the Canary Islands, Morocco, and Madiera. This tells us that they aren't going to like to freeze, they will likely melt in several days of heat over 90o F, and will grow best with more moisture than a cactus, and in well drained soil. In highly protected Las Vegas "patioscapes" they will survive in the ground as long as the human care giver protects the plant a bit in severe weather. Click on this link to see lots of pictures of Aeonium.

When you take the square root of 1, you will get two answers: 1 and –1. But what happens when you take the cube root of 1? All these while, you studied that there's only 1 cube root, which is 1 itself. But the actual fact is that it has 3 roots, –1/2 + √3/2 i, –1/2 - √3/2 i, and 1.
From here, you start guessing that probably the 4th root of 1 will yield 4 roots, 5th root of 1 will yield 5 roots and so on! You are correct. So in this section, I will teach you how to find the roots of unity. Here unity means 'one', not 'bersatu padu'. You will see this term very often in higher level physics.
Let us try finding the cube root of 1. If you use 3√1, you won't get anywhere. We need to use de Moivre's theorem. So expressing 1 in polar form, we get |z| = 1, arg z = 2π (It is actually 0, but I recommend you using this instead) and we have 1 = cos 2π + i sin 2π. Let us continue from here:
Does it look familiar? Now you might want to try to use de Moivre's theorem to solve it. But wait! de Moivre's theorem is true for integers only, and that if n is not an integer, it is only one of the possible solutions. Which means, there are other solutions to be found. Let's use de Moivre's theorem first:
Now I will teach you how to find the remaining roots: you need to add 2nπ to the angle to get another root. You do this all the way until you reach the angle 2π (or, not exceeding 2π). n here denotes the exponent that you use, here it is 1/3, so you need to add 2π/3 to the angles. This means that we have
So we have found the 3 roots of the cube root of unity. By the way, it could have been faster to write if we used the exponential form, so 3√1 = e(2/3)πi, e(-2/3)πi and e2πi (which is actually 1). Did you notice that cos (4/3)π + i sin (4/3)π is actually cos (2/3)π – i sin (2/3)π, and it is actually the conjugate of cos (2/3)π + i sin (2/3)π? So it seems there is a faster way of finding the roots. Putting in mind that 1 is always a root of itself (and –1 is also a root ONLY if n is even, for example the square root, or the 4th root), you just need to add 2π/3 to the angles up to and not exceeding π, and you already know the rest of the roots, because every root's conjugate is also a root!
You can try to solve the roots of unity for the 4th root, 5th root all the way up to the 9th root or beyond. Let me tell you some applications of this:
1. If you were to plot the roots of unity on the Argand diagram, they form a circle with |z| = 1, and they are equally spaced from each other! Here is the Argand diagram for the cube roots of unity:
This actually applies to the roots of any number, just that |z| might equal to something else.
2. Using this information for roots of unity, you can find all the real and complex roots of any other number. For example, 4√16 = 4√1 × 2 or 6√-64 = 6√1 × 2i . The terms 2 and 2i refer to the absolute root of 16 and –64 respectively. Using de Moivre's theorem to find out the 4th root and 6th root of 1, you can just multiply the roots of unity with 2 and 2i respectively to get the required roots for the answer. If you remembered that the 4th roots of unity are 1, –1, i and –i respectively, you get 4√16 = 2, –2, 2i, –2i. Try solving the other one on your own. There are many questions of this kind, for example, solving for z as in z5 = –8 + 8i, or (z + 2i)2 = 4. This needs some practice.
3. Now you will probably face polynomial questions with complex coefficients, like
2ix2 +3x + 3 + 4i = 0. So be ready to know how to solve.
4. Try adding up all the roots of unity. You will be surprised that for every nth root of unity, all the roots add up to 0! Try answering the following question using this piece of information:
By considering the ninth roots of unity, show that
Hint: Find the all the ninth roots of unity, sum them up (equals to 0), and you'll prove the equation. Also, Remember what you learned in high school Maths, the 2 complex roots in a quadratic expressions are conjugates of one another. This means that for whatever nth root of unity, other than 1 (or –1), the rest of the complex roots are paired up such that one root is sure to be the conjugate of another.
5. The square of one root is actually the conjugate of itself, which is just another root! So if w is a cube root of 1, then 1 + w + w2 might have 2 answers. If w is a real root, then it will be 3, but it is either of the complex roots, the answer will be 0. Try verifying this.
COMPLEX INTEGRATIONI hope you have learned the chapter on Integration in Maths T already. You solved the integral
by using integration by parts, and handing over from left to right and etc. But you could actually solve such an equation by complex integration. Let me show you how:
Do you think this is easier compared to the integration by parts? I thought so, just don't be careless.
Still remember learning loci in form 3 Mathematics? It's read as 'lo-sai' by the way, not 'lo-kee' or 'lo-chee'. Loci is actually just a representation of an equation in a graph or diagram. In a cartesian plane, you should be familiar with the equations for circles, straight lines, or ellipse (please study Coordinate Geometry in Maths T before starting this section). Here, the representation of complex loci in the Argand diagram is similar to the one in polar coordinates (which you do not learn in STPM anyhow). Anyway, I'll start by introducing you 6 types of common loci. Throughout this section, z is a variable, while z1 or z2 will be complex numbers, and k, r, c or θ are just constants.
1. |z - z1| = r
This basically represents a circle, with the centre z1, while r is the radus of the circle. For example, take |z + 2 + 2i| = 2√2, we have
2. arg (z – z1) = θ
This is a half line, starting from the point z1, making an angle of θ with the positive real axis, going all the way to infinity. Taking arg (z + 1 + i) = π/4, we have
3. |z – z1| = |z – z2|
This is a perpendicular bisector, in between the two complex numbers z1 and z2. To find the distance between z1 and z2, just find |z1 – z2|, and to find the mid-point, use (z1 – z2)/2. Taking |z – 1 – i| = |z + 2 + 2i|, we have
4. |z – z1| = k |z – z2|
Adding a constant 'k' really changes this loci compared to the one before. This loci turned into a circle instead! It is the ratio between the distances between 2 complex numbers. Probably this is the hardest one, because you need to find out the centre of the circle before you can draw it out. Taking |z – 2| = 3 |z + 2i|, we can't easily draw it out straight away. Using the fact that z = x + i y and using the definition of modulus, you can change the equation into
and you can further solve the equation into an equation of a circle, which is
and now we plot the loci onto the Argand diagram, which is
5. arg [(z – z1) / (z – z2)] = θ
This one is hard to explain in terms of Cartesian coordinates. It is actually a circle drew out by 2 lines connecting 2 complex number points at a fixed angle. Using the equation
The 2 points are (0, 2) and (0, 0) respectively. We draw 2 lines out of these 2 points, such that they intersect at some point which nicely makes the angle π/4. So this is shown below:
The loci is not the blue line. It is the arc of a circle traced out by the tip of the arrow shown below.
6. |z – z1| + |z – z2| = k
This one plots out an ellipse, where z1 and z2 are the foci of the ellipse, and k is the sum of the distance between z1 and z2. To plot this one, you also need to change the equation into cartesian coordinates as in the previous example. I leave this to you as an exercise. A general ellipse looks like this:
Now that you know all the possible types of loci, you need to practice plotting them when given a loci equation. Then, you should also know how to convert them into equations of cartesian coordinates. Besides, you should also know how to transform loci. I give you a few general rules:
1. w = z2 transforms a line into another line, and a circle into another circle.
2. w = (z1 + z) / (z2 – z) transforms a circle into a bisector.
3. w = 1/(z1 – z) transforms a circle into a line.
4. w = kz – c/z transforms a circle into an ellipse, where k and c are constants.
5. w = z̅ also transforms a circle into a circle.
I don't think this is in the syllabus, but I will give you an example.
For the transformation w2 = z, find the locus w for |z| = 5.
z = 5 (cos θ + i sin θ)
w = √z = √5 [ cos (θ/2) + i sin (θ/2) ]
.·. w is a circle, with radius √5 and centre at 0.

Christ Church
Located at the Mall Road itself, this church is the second oldest church in North India. The interiors and the neo-gothic architecture are very beautiful and appealing making this church one of the most important attractions in Shimla.
Among all the oldest churches of north India, it is the 2nd one. The church was built during 1846 to 1857. The church was designed by Col. J. T. Boileau. A clock was placed on the tower of the church in the year 1860 though the clock has stopped working. In the year 1873, a porch was added to the church. The church has entered the list of the most preferred tourist places of Shimla. Visitors get the sight of this church from far off. Devotees and tourists like the serene environment and could not restrain from appreciating its architecture splendor that includes windows with colored glasses and brass plaques of this church. There is fresco surrounding the chapel window and the designer of this fresco was the father of famous writer Rudyard Kipling. Since the time of the British, Sunday Masses have been organized here at this church and it remains the only place of worship for the Christians of this area.
Though the construction of this church was completed in 1846 but it got sanctified in the year 1857 by the bishop of Calcutta. For the travelers who want to enjoy staying here and enjoy the pious environment and breathtaking natural beauty around, there are plenty of staying facilities like hotels, resorts and home stays are available. Tourists get to see a library near the church that was built by James Ransome in 1910. The library was showcase architecture of Elizabethan Era and boasts collection of many old scriptures and books. To reach Christ Church from the railway station , travelers have to use National Highway No. 22 and then enter the Circular Road that leads to the Ridge. The Church has the US Club very close to it and from the center of the Shimla City the driving distance to this area is about 3.6 km.

Colleen was there for me for every step of the selling process. She helped me make decisions and steered me in the right direction about different choices when negotiating with the buyer.
She was also on top of the paperwork all the way through the process. Of the 4 house closings I've gone through, this is was definitely the easiest as almost everything was electronically signed. I would definitely recommend Colleen!

Many kudos and thanks to Colleen for her professionalism and easy going personality. It was fun shopping with her and going through all the paper work involved with real estatre. But she made it all accessible and as painless as possible. We love our house and feel like we were well taken care of in terms of getting the best price, negotiating the reapairs and credits and finally helping us get moved in. We will use her again!

To Whom It May Concern: My brother and I are very appreciative of Colleen McLean and highly recommend her for a seller or buyer'sreal estate agent. We were selling our family homeduring a very difficult time. Colleen came to our rescue. Colleen was our selling real estate agent for our home in Venice, California home. We contracted Colleen to be our selling agent during our first meeting. We had great confidence in Colleen's professionalism, knowledge and experience. Since Colleen lives in the area, she knows the advantages of living in Venice. Plus, she had done her homework and came prepared. She reviewed with us the homes for sale in our immediate area and some adjoining. She brought property printouts of those houses, therefore able to discuss features, house and lot size, and comparable housing selling prices. With Colleen's experience and knowledge in the real estate field and the value of real estate in our area, we were able to quickly agree on a selling price for our house. The real estate world was a foreign language to my brother and me. Colleen efficiently and patiently explained the procedure of selling the house to a layman. She became our real estate teacher. She addressed our concerns and questions when reading the contract. Colleen's decorating knowledge was apparent as we toured the house and yard with a buyer's eye. She made suggestions to us in order to prepare the house for sale. With humor and sensitivity, she gave us a list of tasks. We discussed a tentative sale date along with an open house date. She came to the house several times to check on our progress and to offer encouragement. Colleen gave us ideas to make some jobseasier. In short time, we had the house ready for sale. The house sold very quickly. We had an offer on the house only four days after open house, which we accepted. Within three weeks we were in escrow and the house sold! Saying thank you to Colleen does not express our gratitude. We are so grateful for her knowledge and experience of the real estate field. She is professional and caring.

To whom this may concern,
We had both the joy and the privilege of working with Colleen this past year and a half while hunting for our new home. She was tireless and always punctual and willing to drive and spend the extra time explaining the ins and outs of home buying to our very green selves. There were many coffee meetings at the Grind, figuring and configuring our needs, offers, desires, and panic attacks. We were so tired of bidding wars in our area that we asked Colleen what we could do? We are in our dream home today because we listened to her and she played a little hard ball, hard sell with the sellers to only look at our offer. They listened and through following Colleens suggestion on what to offer, we made it in. She also had gotten us in at the earliest time possible to see the house. She was always ahead of the game and very patient with us! She always with a smile on her face would say, " Oh sure, and shall we see 4 more houses?" She would even come over at 10pm to chat or to get papers to us. I also want to add that everyone she suggested we use from the lender to the plumber have been great reliable professionals. Happy house hunting!
How was it? Please let me know, I would love to hear from you.
Jason Rodriguez- The JRC Group Your neighbor at 8901 Olin
Beverlywood CA Where do I begin about Colleen...When you hire a designer, a lawyer, a therapist, a realtor,
or any consultant, you want the truth and you want upfront, blunt advice. And 90% of the time, you don't get it. With Colleen, it's different. From the first meeting, to the 4th transaction closing docs 6 years later, honesty and true guidance shines through. As a veteran in an industry full of egos, greed, and self-interest, I can truly say, I've learned how to read people and that recommendations go a long way...good or bad. Colleen truly possesses the quintessential qualities, knowledge, and overall personal commitment to deliver the perfect costumer service experience and overall best "end product". A home buyer should only remember the joy of the house they live in, not the perils that go along with the process; which happen with nearly every purchase or sale. After recently going through three escrows with Colleen, and finally closing on "the right one", I can look back, and look at the first two and remember her saying to us "This isn't the right one for you" in certain ways for each...one of which she straight up said "You're simply laterally moving!....why???". A good consultant, no matter what field they are hired for, are hired to guide you in a positive direction for a field you are not an expert in. A good realtor guides you to a sound financial investment, a "perfect home", or in rare cases, both. Colleen can do either or both, you just have to tell her what you want...and if not, she'll most likely figure it out for you. Unlike very few people or consultants in my life,
I would recommend Colleen any day of the week (and already have on many occasions) . She will always have a place in our lives...and hopefully continue to eternally find us "the perfect home"!!!

Travis MacDonald's Agara Music returns this week for their first ever compilation release. We've been thoroughly impressed with the Canadian labels output over the course of their now almost one year run. When we heard they were putting together a compilation we expected a lot and they've certainly delivered and then some. One quick look at the tracklist and you know there is going to be a wealth of interesting electronica here. 'Friends Around The World' comes with twelve exclusive new productions from the likes of Madloch, Alberto Blanco & Marcelo Paladini, Alessandro Diga, Mauro Norti, Booiamrudolf, D-Mand, Aparde, Max Farlane, Beat Syndrome, Erreome and Roberto Traista.
The collection begins with Sound Avenue's Madloch and his 'Organic Life' piece. It seems like the ideal track to open the release off with as the down tempo broken beats and unique sound design are immediately captivating. Alberto Blanco & Marcelo Paladini's 'California Sunday' is next and it's warm and enchanting vibe immediately heightens the senses for what's to come. Dutch producer Alessandro Diga is next and his very contemporary 'Betelgeuze' is a welcome surprise. We've generally only heard progressive house and melodic techno in the past from Alessandro but 'Betelgeuze' is a spacey electronica cut of the highest order. Big atmospheric swells and abstract beats build tension over the first four minutes or so before a gargantuan kick drops in and really takes the roof off. That's certainly a tough act to follow but the intricate production techniques of Mauro Norti are more than up to the task. 'FMML' means serious business with a dangerously subterranean bass line at the outset. It's sets such a menacing tone that once the grainy electronics and sheets of harmonic noise take over it's just all encompassing.
The half way point of the collection sees Belgian producer Max Cue with an enchanting techno construction. The sporadic mallets are what really grab us here, such a lovely harmonic texture and the piece really lays things down for the more dance floor oriented material that is still to come. Columbian producer Booiamrudolf has been very high on our radar of late and his 'To Shy To Kiss You' included here is one of the standout tracks on the collection. The wobbly, mesmerizing nature of the groove is quite intoxicating and once the barrage of drums and additional beats drop in it's pretty massive sounding. A calming angelic tone enters around the 3 minute mark and this is where the track becomes truly special. The slightly warped tone is full of wonderful modulation and emotional harmonic shifts which are goose bump inducing to say the least. Exceptional stuff from Booiamrudolf. This leads nicely into the quirky 'Within A Minute' from D-Mand. The Portuguese producer has delivered another exceptional uptempo electronica piece with these feel good rhythms that undulate throughout the track. It flows nicely into Aparde's 'Raslos' in fact which is another big standout here. The Berlin based producer has been red hot this year with very strong outings on Blendwerk and Agara. 'Raslos' has an atmospheric end of the night vibe that slowly morphs into something entirely more beautiful. The subtle melodic themes that get presented during the drop set the stage for the hook heavy rhythms to re-enter and all the hands to go up in the air as a result. Aparde continues to impress and this is one of his best.
The final four tracks on the collection get set into motion with Max Farlane's 'Naton'. Those of you that remember Max's rework of Max Cue & Travis MacDonald's 'Still Waters' should absolutely love this. The grainy electronics combined with the uplifting lines are the ultimate contrast and should sound fabulous on a club system. Beat Syndrome's 'Centrifuge' is next and shows once again why Hamed Safi is one of Canada's top progressive house talents. The bubbly textures and warm bass tones give just a hint of epicness which is ideal to pick things up for the final stretch of the collection. Spanish producer Erreome makes his Agara debut next and provides the ethereal sounding 'Rare'. The eerie vocal accents, spooky tones and grinding underbelly are tension inducing to say the least. It seems like the ideal selection to precede the closer which you would expect to be a relatively big affair. And with that Roberto Traista has certainly delivered the ultimate closing track. 'Searching' is without a doubt Roberto's crowning achievement to date. His 'Escape' EP earlier this year on Agara was good but he's taken things up a few notches here. 'The wobbly, character drenched bass line is really fabulous and gives the piece some unsettling energy. What somehow balances everything out though are the swirling hooks and deliberate sounding drums. It's like the ultimate collision of ruggedness that ends up sounding quite beautiful. Great stuff from Roberto and a perfect conclusion to a great first compilation from Agara.
The music here is exceptional but after a few listens we can also say that the collection has been programmed masterfully. It's a truly enjoyable listening experience and one that should be in every electronic music fans collection.

Reflections on Tragedy
by Doug Prusak, Manager of Production & Programming
It was date night.
My wife Lisa and I decided to go to our favorite Cuban restaurant in downtown Orlando. This restaurant is close to where both of us have worked, and a about half-mile south of the scene of the Pulse nightclub shooting.
Lisa's cousin was a regular at Pulse, and lives across a small street from the club. You can see the club clearly from his porch. His house became a place of refuge for club employees and patrons escaping the unfolding tragedy. Fortunately, he was not in the club that night, but several of his friends died and a couple more are still hospitalized, battling their injuries.
Our route to the restaurant took us past the club and the hospital where most of the victims were treated. While eating, we decided to visit the memorials at the scene and across the street from the hospital. Like just about everyone else in the world with a television, we followed this horrific story as it unfolded in our city. We knew it was Orlando, and we knew where it was, but we hadn't been there yet so I'm not sure it had fully hit us. There is a degree of separation that your television provides.
This is where things got fuzzy.
I've been a television sports or news producer for 30 years. What this means is that while you don't see me on camera, I've worked with some of the best and most talented reporters that you do see. Together, producers and reporters create and shape the stories, and probably your opinions of those stories, through copy writing and the editing of the images you see. Together, we've covered just about every major news or sports event you've seen over that time. We've covered presidential elections, shuttle disasters, tsunamis, hurricanes, 9/11, Super Bowls, World Series, and Stanley Cup Finals to name a few. We were the ones who tried to build the bridge between the story and you the viewer, doing our level best to minimize that degree of separation to bring you as close to the story as possible.
There are a lot of responsibilities that come with being in this position. Journalists should best be described as pursuing compelling accuracy in their storytelling. One of the unwritten rules of the job is that you have to put your emotions on the shelf and deal with them after the event. You don't cheer in the press box, even when your favorite team wins a playoff game in overtime as your favorite player scores the deciding goal. You learn to bottle up your own emotions as you're telling the stories of folks who just lost loved ones or all their worldly possessions in some unspeakable tragedy or calamity, until all those stories are told.
There's a time to cheer and a time to mourn, but for the journalist, that time comes after the reporter has signed off from covering the story for the last time. You become robotic in nature, cranking out story after story, checking the boxes that you're covering every possible angle along the way. Your story doesn't matter. You're the storyteller. Your joy waits. Your pain waits. Sometimes the pain never gets dealt with. Trust me, it happens. Please don't think that the people presenting you the news aren't deeply affected by these tragedies. We are. I've seen things and covered stories that I'll never forget as long as I live.
Lisa and I pulled into a parking lot near the club, running into her cousin as we got out of the car. We both hugged him, and we chatted for a bit. We then made our way across the street to the Pulse memorial.
What's left of Pulse is now surrounded by a chain link fence covered in canvas. The club is protected by members of city, county and state law enforcement. Instead of investigating though, they're now quietly ensuring that the memorial is not tampered with.
The memorial is powerful. The flowers, pictures, handwritten notes and signs remembering those who died are a sight I pray I'll never forget. But there was something else that really struck me. It was the people. There were members of the gay community together with hardened bikers, folks old and young, diverse backgrounds, milling about, crying softly, hugging, praying.
Lisa and I lingered for awhile. I prayed a bit and we quietly moved up the street to the memorial near one of Orlando's biggest hospitals. The backdrop is a small, manmade pond surrounded by a walkway weaving through modest landscaping and guarded by a small fence. There are crosses there for each of the victims. All are covered in handwritten notes, flowers, ribbons, pictures and other tokens. There's a separate memorial closer to the main street made of signs, stuffed animals, flowers and long ago burnt out candles.
There were also people. All kinds of people. Again, several races, lifestyles, and about as complete an age spectrum as possible. I guessed some to be family members, judging by the way the just sat in silence and stared at a specific cross, vision blurred by tears streaming from their eyes.
That was when the picture came into focus.
These are the people who lost loved ones in a senseless tragedy and are left picking up the pieces while the world watches. These are the people whose stories we were bringing to you while we put our emotions on hold.
I found myself watching an older woman. If I had to guess, she was the grandmother of the young man who's picture she was blankly staring at. She sat motionless, except for her tiny hands massaging a cross. She took no notice of me, and I didn't approach her.
The cycle of life had been broken, and her world sure looked shattered. She's staring at a picture of a young man who should've outlived her by decades. Instead, she's the one mourning a young life cut short, seeking solace in her faith.
It broke my heart to watch her pray, but heartened me that she was praying. I found myself, hands loosely clasped in front of me, praying God's comfort for her.
Then, I realized my vision was blurry and my hands were a bit wet.
So that's what it feels like.

A Little Note On Strength
People often mistake strength for courage, loyalty and perseverance. How often have we called someone 'strong', without ever knowing how many tears they've shed, how often they have had to grit their teeth and smile and take another little step despite the waves, how much they are hurting behind their determination to keep their heads … Continue reading A Little Note On Strength

BlackMagic Cinema Camers
It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or have numerous years of experience under your belt; whenever you plan to buy a new camera, your brain is flooded with thousands of different questions. But you do not need to worry. All you need to know is that if you're looking to make a film and you have complete faith in it, then you could do nothing wrong by filming it with a cinematic camera.
Cinema cameras record and produce your videos with top-notch quality that can only be seen on big screens in the cinema or 4k TV's. It provides impeccable attention to detail with great visuals.
There are numerous cinema cameras available on the market made by different manufacturers. But as far as cinema cameras are concerned, the Black Magic Cinema camera is the undisputed winner among all of them. The Black Magic Micro Cinema camera and the Black Magic Ursa Mini are among the most popular cameras produced by this manufacturer. The reason why these cameras have gained so much popularity over the years is because of the fact that, they have numerous functions that are not only time-saving but are easy on your budget, as you would not have to invest money on some equipment that used to be necessary previously.
Following are some features that make the black magic cinema cameras a must have:
- They have two CFast recorders
- It has a fold out monitor of 5 inches
- The black magic cinema camera has a cinema lens mount (EF and PL)
- This digital camera is lightweight and compact
Black Magic Micro Cinema Camera
This miniature sized camera is perfect for shooting from remote distances without worrying about portability. It has great range and a great Pro Res recorder. This camera is 16mm in size and has the ability to record quick moving action, just like any other sized camera would.
An important factor that makes the Black Magic Micro Cinema camera a preferable choice for many filmmakers is the fact that they do not have to worry about mounting it on quadcopters, as they are small and won't fall out of place because of their adjustability and lightweight.
You will be surprised to find out that a camera as small as this supports interchangeable lenses. The sound recording capabilities of this camera are impeccable as well considering its small size.
Black Magic Ursa Mini
This is another compact camera that has received praise from everyone who owns it. This camera is perfect for people who own high definition lenses (B4), as they support these lenses with great ease. Similar to the abovementioned camera, the Black Magic Ursa Mini also has dynamic range and can record with crystal-clear clarity. A key reason for the popularity of Black Magic's cameras is also the fact that in spite of being compact, they support all of the features that big cameras have. So considering all of these advantages, these cameras will provide great bang for your buck.

If you have anemia, there is something wrong with your red blood cells, and they are unable to get enough oxygen out to the tissues of your body. There are several different types of anemia, each with different factors involved.
Typically, when a person says they are anemic, they are referring to iron deficiency anemia.
Our red blood cells bind iron to oxygen and transport it to different parts of the body for a variety of functions.
When there isn't enough iron to go around for all RBCs to have an adequate supply, when there is a structural problem with the RBC preventing it from properly incorporating iron into its structure, or there's been a loss of RBCs that decreases the actual number of iron binding structures to grab oxygen, a person will suffer from poor oxygenation of tissue.
Signs and Symptoms of Anemia
Unexplainable fatigue: Constantly feeling drained
Unexplainable weakness: Strength is diminished, not just due to temporary exertion
Pallor or pale skin: No matter the skin type complexion looks drained.
Brittle nails: May also change in appearance. Fake fingernails may mask this, so check toenails.
Notable hair loss: Hair may also look dull and be brittle.
Fast or irregular heartbeat: Health care provider will assess this.
Shortness of breath: Constantly feeling a little winded, due to poor oxygenation. Call your doctor, as it could also mean several other serious health concerns.
Dizziness: A possible indicator of other health problems. Call your doctor on this one, as well.
Poor cognitive function: Not thinking clearly. This causes problems, from learning math to emotional regulation. If you can't think straight, you cannot process the world around you.
Pica: Craving non-food items such as ice or clay. Seems embarrassing, but do bring this up to your doctor.

The Diary of Anne Frank
Giffnock Theatre Players
Wednesday 01 - Saturday 04 May
7.30pm each evening
Sat matinee, 2.30pm
In this transcendently powerful new adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, Anne Frank emerges from history a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl, who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit, and determination.
An impassioned drama about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence—their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief. Each day of these two dark years, Anne's voice shines through: "When I write I shake off all my cares but I want to achieve more than that. I want to be useful and bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!"
This is a new adaptation for a new generation.

Welcome to rols76.com, the website of Roland Codd. If you're looking for a freelance graphic designer, then you've come to the right place.
About me (Roland Codd)
I am a professional freelance graphic designer with over sixteen years of design experience. I've been working as a freelancer since the end of 2005. I moved to Canterbury in 2007, where I now work out of my own studio.
My freelance design service
Projects I like to work on include:
- Book cover design
- Book layout design
- Magazine design
- Brochure design
- Report design
- Poster and flyer design
- Website design
- Typesetting
My clients
I enjoy working for a range of clients, including Canterbury Christ Church University, the University of Kent, Penguin Random House, Hesperus Press, Duckworth Overlook, Melville House Books, Hotel Chocolat and Springer Healthcare.
My Previous Employment
2004–2005, Art Director, Quintet Publishing
I designed book layouts and covers, and art directed photo shoots. The list I worked on included cookery, film, history, art and sport. I worked on the popular 1001 series, including 1001 Natural Wonders and 1001 Golf Holes; and was responsible for the design of 500 Cupcakes, which led to the launch of the successful 500 cookery book series. In my role, I also managed the design schedules and budgets, briefed out-of-house freelancers, prepared digital files for print, and checked the quality of colour proofs. After redundancy, I became a freelance graphic designer.
2002–2004, Designer, Chrysalis Books
At Chrysalis I was responsible for the management of the schedules and budgets of two imprints. The first, Vega, published mind-body-spirit books. The second, Impact, produced titles about pulp magazines, music and underground comics. Both imprints were varied and fun to work on. I designed covers, layouts and marketing materials – such as flyers, catalogues and posters. The role also required the commission and management of freelancers and the art direction of photography shoots.
2000–2002, Designer, Carroll and Brown Publishing
I designed book cover covers and layouts for exercise and cookery titles. While there, I also gained valuable experience in how to organise and art direct photography shoots.
1999–2000, Design Assistant, Dorling Kindersley
I moved to London at the end of 1999, to work for Dorling Kindersley. I assisted the senior designers and art editors with scanning, typesetting and filing.
1998–1999, Typesetter, Newscom PLC
I worked for the Somerset County Gazette, a local newspaper – where I designed adverts and features. The job taught me how to work to deadlines.
On my HND course, I gained four-weeks work experience at Coley Porter Bell, a London-based design agency. Before I started my BA course I worked part-time at The Ideas House, a small design group in Taunton, Somerset.
Why you should hire me as a freelance graphic designer
Why not hire a full-time in-house designer? Or hire a design agency? As a freelance graphic designer I offer a number of advantages:
A Personal, friendly professional service
You will have direct communication with myself at all stages of the design process. There's no 'go-between' – just me, throughout the design, from the initial brief, and to the finished product.
A freelance graphic designer is more cost-effective
I can be hired on a project-by-project basis as needed, which is more cost-effective than employing a full-time in-house designer. Also, as an individual, I don't have the overhead costs of a design agency.
It can be good to have a fresh set of eyes looking at your company or product. As an 'outsider' I may be able to offer a new approach to the design, which you may not have considered.
I am always looking to build new, long-term working relationships with clients. I take pride in my work, and I want to design the best possible solution for the target audience.
You can be assured that you will be dealing with the same person throughout. I handle all projects myself – I do not outsource work to third-parties. If you need any repeat work or updates, you can be confident that I will be familiar with your company or product.

Struggling to survive as a child on the streets of a Ugandan slum, Phiona Mutesi probably didn't expect her life story to be turned into a Disney film.
Living in the impoverished township of Katwe in Kampala, she had tragically lost her father and one sibling - and her family regularly went without food.
But her luck all changed when she discovered chess.
Phiona was introduced to the game when she went to a local chess club because they provided free food for participants, and her coach soon realised she had natural talent. Read more via STV.

We are only two weeks into the new year and there's already so much happening in the liquor land. Here we bring to you the first weekly roundup of 2018 and it's as exciting as it can get. Read on to know what all happened in the alcohol world in the last week!

Haryana's Excise Department's Transformation: In the bid to check the role of middlemen, bring in transparency and more revenue to the state, Haryana's excise department will transform into a corporation from April 1 onwards. The department will assume the role of the middleman and purchase Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) form manufacturers to be sold to the retailers. It will be interesting to witness the development in this arena, in the coming accounting year.
Head to The Velvet Room for a smooth nightlife experience: Delhi has become the hot-spot of unique and speakeasy bars and the latest one to be launched is The Velvet Room at Greater Kailash. They promise to bring together the best of pan Asian cuisine and cocktails that can knock your socks off. Very much inspired by old-school Asian décor, the red-black-gold theme gives it classy, old-school vibes. There is the main area, where you can dance your heart out and an upstairs area, where you can just sit calmly and enjoy some of your favourite drinks. With two separate bars, they ensure that you get the best service too! Head to Local Shopping Complex, Building 3, Masjid Moth, Greater Kailash 3, New Delhi.
Videsi News
Of Violets, Leather and Cardamom: Move over super-foods and red-chillies in cocktails, we live in times where perfumes inspire the taste of drinks. The Pulitzer Bar in Amsterdam has put together three cocktails inspired by New York-based Le Labo's classic offering – Santal 33. Each drink represents the ruling notes of the iconic scent – violet, cardamom and leather and also takes the same names. We would definitely want to get a taste of Leather!
Gender Equality! Say, What?: It appeared that the Sri Lankan Government sought to right the wrong when only a few days ago, the country's finance minister Mangala Samaraweera announced the 4-decade long ban on women buying liquor being lifted. However, President Maithripala Sirisena reinstated the ban in the country on Sunday. Yes, that's right peeps and the backlash on the ban being reimposed hasn't stopped since, on various social media platforms.
A portable device to detect alcohol authenticity – Yes, please!: Contaminated alcohol has come to become a real issue across many countries and so has the sale of fake liquor, masked under names of leading brands. Two scientists, Kenneth S Suslick and Zheng Li from the United States have addressed the issue at hand. They have come up with a portable device comprising sensors that precisely detect fake or watered-down liquor. Now, who wouldn't want to get their hands on that offering?

KennelMate Reviews
Excellent program been using it now for four years without any problems.
Likely Extremely
Pros: Easy to use. Regular updates and links into our website. Excellent for planning a busy cattery and for invoicing and confirmations.
Overall: Having used it for four years I hate to think how we would manage without it.
Comments: I used another programme from 2002 until 2013 and the company ceased and the programme was no longer compatible with the new windows.
I trialled very carefully, all available programmes and this was the best. The only thing putting me off was the price. As it was so cheap I presumed there was a glitch. Anyway I purchased it and its been great. there have been a few problems in the last 11 months but Grensoft always got straight back to me and have always fixed glitches and amended the programme in the various ways so as to make it even better tailored to suit my needs.
Very easy at the same time as being comprehensive!
