Heya gang, been a while but I'm still around. Been a little bit more hectic than anticipated moving across the globe, changing jobs/countries/hemispheres but things have started to get to a sense of normalcy down here in kiwiland. Anyway, I've FINALLY finished some new art for Expeditious Retreat Press and have been working on some for Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea. Cheers

Hey, new art! New Art!!
Yeah, I finally got a new scanner. I've been pretty busy on the art front but you'd never know it because of my lack of posting. However, here's some warm up exercises for some commission work I've been working on.

We're getting more and more settled in and our air freight shipment arrived yesterday. Good news since a lot of my art supplies were in there along with my desktop computer. I've been busy sketching out concept art for Expeditious Retreat Press and Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea. I also picked up Delve! issue 2 last night to see what was left. Essentially I just need to finish off the section on quasi-lycanthropes and then go into layout (so good thing I got my desktop back). I think this weekend we might head for some of the filming locations from the Hobbit/LotR movies - but that depends on the weather. If not, we might head to Weta cave. Oh, and Daisey is putting her portfolio together for Weta's costume/set design team. I would LOVE it if she go on. It'd be great to get behind the scenes on Weta projects!

Slowly I Turn, Step by step...
Yes, I'm still alive and kicking! I've been incredibly busy relocating Team Bingham and Ostensible Cat HQ from Italia to our new home base in New Zealand! We've been incredibly busy traversing the globe and for the past two and a half weeks - getting settled into our new home in Wellington. Lots of changes - new day job, new country, new continent (or microcontinent I suppose), new hemisphere, 12 hour time change, opposite season (it's winter here), and well, just about new everything. We're still settling in, but I feel that I'm now to the point where I can start re-emerging into the scene a bit. Found an art store so I stocked up on supplies. Now to seek out the local RPG scene (so glad they speak English, it'll make it easier for me to get my game on). I've got some commissioned work lined up and I'll get back to work on Delve! issue 2 - it exists! Also wanting to expand my operations a bit because I am no longer under the constraints that were imposed upon me in Europe. So, as I get settled and into my routine, I'm looking to doing things like offering original art, stickers, zines (of course) and other stuff on my Etsy site. More to follow gang, and it's good to be back!

A Painting
It's been a while I know but yes, I'm still around. I've been focusing the bulk of my efforts on honing my technical skills tackling penguins and pythons rather than dragons and the like. It has been all consuming as I'm preparing for Team Bingham's next adventure. Lots of things in the works that have kept me from the drawing and gaming table. But in the end, it will be well worth it. At any rate, I just wanted to toss up a piece of art that I'd done not too long ago. It's been a while since I've painted and I'm pretty happy with this tribute to David Sutherland. I commissioned some art from Steve Zeizer for Delve II which I just have to get around to finishing it up. It is in the home stretch and I just need to finish off a bit about quasi-lycanthropes. Steve did some excellent work that really captured my vision. It was really fun to see someone else's take on my writing. Definitely bit of a switch up and I look forward to doing it again. Oh yeah, I forgot to say that I'm currently working on a ton of new art for several new projects. More to follow on that. Anyway, I hope everyone is well. Happy gaming!!

Merry Christmas and Some New Art!
Merry Christmas, Yuletide greetings, happy Festivus... whatever you celebrate (or don't) I wish you the best this holiday season. As for me, it's been rather trying in terms of the day job. And the hunt has begun for the next adventure for Team Bingham (which will unfortunately require us to leave Italy - our home for the past 6 1/2 years) but we've got other plans in the works... At any rate, while I've been working at honing my tech skills for the job search, I've also been squeezing in some art time. Here's the latest that I did for Joe Browning over at Expeditious Retreat Press for an upcoming project.

And even more new art...
OK, yeah, So I've been really busy slaving away at the day job and then staying up past my bed time trying to fit in some artwork ;). Actually these pieces are a few months old but still wanted to share them because they were a heck of a lot of fun to do, and it's almost Christmas and you need a new adventure for your group right? Here's the latest from one of my favorite companies, Expeditious Retreat Press and the OSRIC adventure Lost Lair of Drecallis!!

Taliban threat could skew Pakistan vote
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Moderate politicians from some of Pakistan's most violent areas are risking the threat of Taliban attack to run in upcoming nationwide elections, but they are increasingly being forced to rely on social media, phone calls and even short documentaries that allow them to campaign at a distance.
That could give hard-line Islamic candidates and Taliban supporters an advantage as they're able to stump for votes and hold large rallies that are a traditional hallmark of elections in the country but are vulnerable to attacks.

Honor Code
Students are expected to conduct themselves in a way that is consistent with College policies and in a manner appropriate with the College's mission as an educational institution. The College Corporation retains authority over the granting of degrees and the disciplining of students at the College. In academic matters, mutual responsibility between instructors and students requires cooperation and trust in maintaining the details and spirit of an honor system. This insures that a high level of integrity and honesty will be maintained within the academic programs.
The following are the major violations of the Honor System:
- Cheating: Copying others' works, collaborating with others without authorization, using crib notes or other unauthorized source materials during examinations, accessing and using others' computer files without authorization, and violating other specific regulation of the instructor.
- Plagiarism: Intentionally or unintentionally using someone else's words, works, thoughts, or expression of ideas without giving proper credit. When a source is not cited, it is assumed that the words, works, thoughts, or ideas are the sole product of the author, i.e., the student. Plagiarism includes handing in as one's own work a paper on which a student has received extensive aid in substance and/or structure without acknowledging that help, as well as using one paper for more than one course without authorization to do so. Material used from outside readings, references, or the like, must be noted using footnotes, endnotes, or whatever notation devices are appropriate for the field of study. Direct quotations must be differentiated from text using quotation marks or by indenting or single spacing.
Other violations to the Honor System include:
- Misusing library and technology resources (including computer hardware and software), e.g., mutilating, stealing, deliberately misshelving, concealing or defacing, as in marking, underlining, highlighting, as well as unauthorized reconfiguration of software programs.
- Illegally duplicating software or violating software licensing agreements. Software license agreements prevent the duplication of any software application which an individual does not personally own. This excludes public domain software (shareware or freeware).
- Violating copyright law (Title 17, United States Code, Section 101, et seq.). Students should pay particular attention to section 107 which allows photocopying of copyrighted materials under the guidelines of "fair use" and to section 108, which describes some of the photocopying regulations in academic libraries. (View the Simmons College copyright policy.)
By enrolling in Simmons College, each student pledges to uphold the honor system by presenting work only of his or her own creation and to follow the Honor System, which supports this expectation. In addition, students are responsible for upholding the ethical professional standings of their programs. Students must try to ensure that others in the community also act honorably.
Instructors are responsible for defining and explaining the honor system at the beginning of each semester, and for explaining standards of conduct as they relate to cheating and plagiarism in that course, specifically: time limits, use of reference materials, and applicability of the honor system to special projects or cooperatively assigned student tasks. In addition, faculty are expected to provide those conditions and expectations for tests and papers that support personal student responsibility for upholding the honor system.
Any student violating the honor system is responsible for reporting himself or herself immediately to the course instructor. In addition, a student who observes another student violating the honor system is obliged to inform the student in violation to urge that student to report himself or herself to the faculty member. The observing student is encouraged to report the case to the program director if no action is taken by the offending student.
A faculty member suspecting a student of violating the honor system is encouraged to discuss the matter with the student. If the issue is not resolved at that level, the incident should be reported to the dean, who will attempt to resolve the situation in consultation with the instructor and the student.
Appeals Process
If the decision of the Dean does not resolve the issue of Honor System violations, the faculty as a whole serves as the appeal body. All such faculty decisions are confidential. Actions deemed appropriate by the voting faculty will be taken at this time.
Any student who has a case pending has the following placed on his or her transcript: "Honor Systems Case Pending." If the student is found not to be in violation of the Honor System, any notations regarding an Honor System violation is removed; the transcript of a student found in violation of the Honor System will not note a violation of the Honor System policy, unless the student is excluded from the College. In this case, the transcript will be noted as follows: "Excluded from the College."
When a case is referred to the faculty, the student in question is notified of the meeting. The student must be given an opportunity to examine and respond to the evidence before that meeting.
A violation is established by a preponderance of evidence and the faculty renders an appropriate remedy, which may include exclusion from the College. If any sanctions apply, they are effective immediately upon the decision of the faculty and notification is sent to the student and the instructor.
Voted by the Faculty of the School of Library and Information Science, May 19, 1988; amended, May 17, 1995; amended June 25, 2001.

Drill, baby, drill in the South China Sea
The United States has quietly ditched its underperforming pretext for confrontation in the South China Sea - its strategic interest in freedom of navigation - and is sidestepping into a new justification. It is taking the position that China is improperly denying US interests their fair access to potential energy riches under the sea-bed. -

Indonesia takes a Melanesian turn
Jakarta's diplomacy has vigorously extended itself east into Melanesia in an attempt to maintain control over West Papua, its territorial bridge to the Pacific. But Indonesia is not only using West Papua to attain status as a member of the Pacific regional community, it is also seeking Pacific status to legitimize its hold over people who support independence from the Indonesian state. -

Myanmar regime in test of solidarity
With one year remaining before Myanmar's general election there is growing skepticism both internationally and domestically that the reform process is at best beginning to stagnate and at worst rolling back in some critical areas. This was highlighted earlier this month during the visit of President Barack Obama, when opposition leader Aung Sang Suu Kyi voiced concerns that the reform process had stalled over the past two years. -

What Obama should tell Thein Sein
United States President Barack Obama could use his Myanmar visit this week to acknowledge the stumbling blocks and realities that have emerged amid the Asian country's much ballyhooed "democratic transition", and he could demand a halt to the ethnic persecution there. Washington's defensiveness over the end of Obama's Myanmar policy honeymoon suggests he would rather fantasize over the still largely military-run governments continued "opening". -

Gas pains for China and Myanmar
Critics in China and Myanmar have pointed the finger at each other's government over the underperformance of a 793-kilometer pipeline through which natural gas started to flow to customers last July, but political accusations overlook a more intuitive economic explanation for the lackluster output - China's use of a gas pricing system that prizes strategic value over profitability. -

Uyghurs look to
Indonesia for terror guidance
While China will likely link Uyghurs detained in Indonesia last month with Islamic State militants, the fighters were seeking support from a patchwork of regional Islamist groups providing assistance to the ethnic group's low-level insurgency. Given the Chinese authorities' use of draconian bans on veils, hijabs and Ramadan fasting in western China, public pressure may complicate Jakarta's reaction to any extradition. -

Anything that flies on anything that moves
In transmitting President Richard Nixon's orders for a "massive" bombing of Cambodia in 1969, Henry Kissinger said, "Anything that flies on everything that moves".

Like the Khmer Rouge, the Islamic State is a product of a US-made apocalypse. -

US committed 'epic' crime in Cambodia
Henry Kissinger's assertion that the Richard Nixon administration's secret bombing of Cambodia killed fewer people than drone strikes under President Barack Obama is laughable.

The United States and China in every arena are displaying a disturbing propensity toward militarizing their national security strategies.

It is a temptation that Washington and Beijing should resist. -

China's grand plan for the South China Sea
Beijing's rising assertiveness in maritime areas is part of a grand geo-strategic rationale rooted in realist foreign policy, with indigenous technological advances helping to drive a strategy that is far removed from past non-interventionist policy. Supported by efforts by Beijing to improve military capabilities, its international image and legal stature on the issue, the plan is viewed as a "core interest" of China's sovereignty. -

Coup as counter-insurgency in Thailand
Some commentators see the military takeover in Thailand two months ago as a harder version of the 2006 coup in seeking to rid the country of the political influence of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his clan.

A convergence in the anti-Islamic rhetoric of Myanmar's and Sri Lanka's fundamentalist Buddhist groups is matched by a shared sense of triumphalism and persecution, though Islamism has made fewer inroads into Muslim communities there than in neighboring countries. Myanmar's "969" activists and Sri Lanka's marauding monks seem politically useful for now, but their secular patrons might ponder some lessons of history. -

The demonstrations overtaking Bangkok prior to elections set for February 2 attract easy belief that this is a clash between impoverished rural Thais and urban middle classes. Corruption claims abound from both sides. But the deeper cause of tension is former premier Thaksin Shinawatra's blatant violation of Thai social norms. He wants the whole pie to himself. -

Thai insurgents extend their reach
The struggle for the border provinces of southern Thailand reached an ominous turning point in the last weeks of December as the disarming of a car bomb on the resort island of Phuket followed motorcycle and car-bomb attacks in Songkhla province. Malay Muslim separatists appear to have taken the political turmoil elsewhere in Thailand as a further cue to move beyond their traditional area of operations. -

Old ties to Myanmar's new media
Myanmar's mass media market has flourished since a long-standing censorship regime was loosened in 2012, with some 200 daily, weekly and monthly publications now covering news, sports and entertainment. That has not brought more editorial independence, since ownership is concentrated among businessmen linked to high-ranking members of the former ruling junta. -

Ex-Vietnam shipping
boss drops bribes bombshell
The former head of Vinalines, a beleaguered Vietnamese state shipping company, under sentence of death for corruption, has told a court that he paid bribes to top Communist Party officials, including US$500,000 to the deputy public security minister, in a futile bid to avoid arrest and prosecution. -

Fiscal cloud taxes Myanmar optimism
Unless Myanmar's system of tax and spend is reformed and regularized, optimism generated by democratic steps could be swallowed up by a debt crisis. Putting the cabinet's opaque financial dealings under greater scrutiny will cause political ruptures, but that and better management of public finances are essential to secure continued investor interest in the country. -

T. C., Loh and M. R., Rosyidah and N.T., Thanh and Y. K. , Chang and P. C., Kok (2007) Effects of feeding organic and inorganic acid blends on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in young broiler chickens. Jurnal Veterinar Malaysia, 19 (1). pp. 17-20. ISSN 9128-2506
Full text not available from this repository.
One hundred and ninety-six Ross chicks with an initial body weight of 40.30±0.22g were used to study the effects of different crude protein levels supplemented with dietry organic and inorganic acids on growth performance and nutrient digestibility. The chicks were caged in pens of seven animals each, and had ad libitum access to feed and water. The chicks were divided into 4 groups: Control -22% crude protein basal diet; T1:22% crude protein basal diet + Organics™; T2:20% crude protein basal diet + Organics™; T3:18% crude protein basal diet + Orgacids™. The apparent digestibility of crude protein, calcium and phosphorus was calculated using Ti02. The birds fed with Control, T1 and T2 had better growth performance and feed conversion ratio than T3. The diets added with acidifiers had better digestibility of crude protein, phosphorus and calcium. In conclusion, the chickens fed with Control, T1 and T2 had better weight gain than 18% CP with acid blends. However, similar growth performance was found between Control, T1 and T2. T1 and T2 had lower FCR than Control and T3. Better growth performance in Control, T1 and T2 is mainly attributed to the better digestibility of nutrients such as crude protein, phosphorus and calcium. There was a reduction of 17% SBM used in the diet when Control diet was compared with T2 diet.

Using the theme "Water and Oil" the images are the result of an experiment that utilizes water and fossil fuels in the actual image-making process, letting these substances become an important variable in the visual representation. Photographs are made along the Fox River which passes through both untouched rural areas and consumer-oriented suburban sprawl.

131? Hmm. I wonder what questions I got wrong… <muses>
The way you think about things makes you a Creative Theorist. This
means you are a highly intelligent, complex person. You are able
to process information of nearly every kind with ease, using both
creativity and analysis to make sense of the world. Compared to
others you also have a very rich imagination.
The potato surprise mentioned yesterday was actually
pretty okay, although I think I should've left it in the micro for a
minute or two more so that the egg cooked completely. Next time, I can
omit the rice and just eat the potato+egg+corned.beef mix as
is. Slightly larger potatoes might be nice.
Potato Surprise
- 2 hollowed-out potato shells from last night's potato soup
– 1 small can of corned beef (the smallest you can find; I'll look up the exact measurement soon)
– 1 egg
– Handful of minced onions
1. Fry corned beef with onions on high heat until it's nice and
crunchy. (Essentially, we are satisfying ourselves that the corned
beef is more or less edible…)
2. Crack egg into bowl.
3. Mix corned beef into egg. Add salt if you want.
4. Pour mixture into potato shells.
5. Microwave potatoes for 2.5 minutes or until it seems safe. I
microwaved them in one of my ultra-wonderful rigid-plastic
containers (not the cheap ones that deform; this is heavy stuff!)
with an airhole, which kept the potatoes nice and moist.
Okay lunch.

Types of Stroke
Back to the nypneuro.org Home Page
Stroke occurs when a blood vessel is blocked by a clot (an "ischemic" stroke) or when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures ("hemorrhagic" stroke). Larger strokes can cause swelling and compression in the brain. In both types of stroke, the flow of oxygen-rich blood is cut off to a part of the brain, and brain cells die. As a result, a person suffers neurological deficits related to the part of the brain that is damaged.
Ischemic strokes are often the result of carotid artery disease, a buildup of plaque inside the walls of the arteries in the neck, which can restrict or block the flow of blood to the brain. Most hemorrhagic strokes occur as a consequence of high blood pressure, which can lead to rupture of tiny arteries deep within the brain.
An early warning sign of an impending ischemic stroke is one or more transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) or "mini-strokes." TIAs are critical warning signs that a stroke may be on the way in the coming days or months. During a TIA, blood flow to part of the brain is temporarily restricted, leading to temporary neurological deficits. The symptoms may be the same as those of a stroke, but milder, and may last only a few minutes.

Great game with amazing graphics
This review is from: Metro: Last Light Playstation3 Game
Pros: Metro: Last Light is a single-player first-person shooter video game with survival horror and stealth elements incorporated into it. The game was developed by Ukrainian studio 4A Games. This game is the second Metro game, the first installment, Metro 2033 was incredible. Metro: Last Light is also great but a little weaker than the first game. But with that said this game is above most of today's games in its strength of story and outstanding graphics. The game really embeds you in its world which is an underground subway system.
Cons: Too short of a campaign.
