Hey guys, wanted to show you some stuff we are doing over at Frima. Maybe it's the future for the Zombie Tycoon universe? :P
Enjoy this free demo! :
Give us Give us Give us! See, im not being greedy. :) I'll have to check the link later when im not on my PSP. :(
Out of curiosity... would Sony actually allow a demo/lite version of a mini to be put up for free on the PSStore?
I haven't seen any yet, I'm guessing it is probably too expensive compared to the AppStore to do something like that and probably a lot of hassle.
this ran waay to slow on my laptop. Liked the looks of it though, what with more zombies and a point system. No gear anymore though???
I would have liked if ZT had've had larger squads, as was you had to keep all 3 together (save for the mission with the island, and the one with the cow)
Real ZT2 please! soon!
this is awesome!!!
can't beat level 2 though ... are youguys planning on driving me crazy again?
Sadly I don't know enough French to be able to read that. Could you translate?
You can translate using Google.
The article does not mention anything about Zombie Tycoon 2. It's either that or, Google messed up the translating.
It might have to do with the Move game frima's making?
(Quebec) The two-day visit to Quebec Zacharilla Louis, co-founder of the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF), this time with an immersion in the digital world with visits Frima, the National School of Interactive Entertainment (ENDI) and TELUQ, while addressing the world of techno in Quebec.But there is not the technology that interests Mr. Zacharilla, there is also the entrepreneurial synergy. Moreover, during his stay in the offices of Frima, and more interested in work that was on there, he recalled that the objectives of the ICF was the collaboration and partnership between companies of cities styled City Smart.
In the discussion that followed the visit, Mr. Zacharilla became interested in founding Frima, Steve Couture wanted to establish in his hometown in Quebec City to keep local talent. "It's like Research In Motion Jim Balsillie founded in Waterloo," which took the title of Smart City in 2007, recalled Mr. Zacharilla, asking if it was easy to recruit top talent.
Business model
He asked about the business model of Frima, competition, the revitalization of St. Roch and the new face of Quebec, even thought that the direction of Frima about the future and development of the city.
The six other cities competing for the title of City in 2012 are intelligent Oulu in Finland, Taichung City in Taiwan, the U.S. cities of Austin and Riverside and the Canadian St. John (New Brunswick) and Stratford (Ontario).
There you go. I didn't read it, I just scanned for the words Zombie, Tycoon, and 2. I didn't see them.
I am still having problems with the first game being in french. I even contacted Sony in which they updated my download list but it still did not work. It looked a great game though.
Maybe it's not in the article itself ;)
Were we supposed to be looking at the picture with the zombie-looking dude on the computer monitor? Is that meant to relate to the Move controller in the person's hand, as well?
Are you guy going to work on ZT2? If you guys do, I will be so happy, day 1 buy for me.
I think MickD's implying that they're already working on Zombie Tycoon 2. It's either that or "We made a new picture of a zombie--and nothing else!" :)

Man beaten to death over beard
'They called him Bin Laden and used the k-word'
A Muslim man has been beaten to death in Ventersdorp, allegedly by two people who insulted him because of his beard, a family friend said on Wednesday.
Mohammed Fayaaz Kazi, 27, was with his father's friend Anser Mahmood when he was attacked at a Chicken Licken outlet on Monday.
"Two white people... they called him [Osama] bin Laden in Afrikaans because of his beard...and then they called us k***rs," Mahmood said.
"Fayaaz, he understood Afrikaans, and was arguing with them."
All four were thrown out of the fast food shop, and the fight continued outside.
"I asked why they were troubling him and he punched me," Mahmood, 33, said.
"I don't know what he hit me with. I was unconscious."
Mahmood was mostly hit in the face. Kazi was beaten over the head.
Mahmood said he did not know what object was used to attack Kazi as he was lying on his side.
"Nobody helped us," he said.
Kazi was transferred from one hospital to another before dying at a medical facility in Potchefstroom from brain damage. His funeral was held on Tuesday.
Mahmood said a murder docket had been opened at the Potchefstroom police station. Provincial police spokesman Brigadier Thulani Ngubani could not be reached for comment.
Bin Laden was the founder of al-Qaeda, which the United States claimed was responsible for the September 11, 2001, suicide attacks on the country. He was killed by US soldiers in Pakistan on May 2, 2011.

It can't be that there were no witnesses.If this incident was vice versa, there would be 50 I have clashed with the red necks few times when I drive down to that province, whether on the road or at filling stations. If there are terrorists in this country, let them go and practice their bombing skills in NW or FS, mainly in places where ''ka*****s'' are not allowed.

I do. I don't lie about every day things but I lie to others about what my actual dreams and plans in life are. I tell people what they want to hear. I tell them that I won't stretch too far in to the realm of unrealness. I tell them that I'm going to play
Read the full article here ;)
I completely agree. It's basic self-preservation if nothing else, I don't tell people the ideas and plans I have for the future in exact detail because they won't understand, and I'm too busy making them happen to stop and make a case for myself every five minutes!! Good luck with everything you want to do Derek, whatever it is ;o)
having disempowering people in your life isn't good for the soul either but we have to make do with what we have
there are some people I can tell anything to and those are the kinds of people I try to surround myself with but some people I can't tell them anything
I love feedback :) I used the word lying in order to create more shock value, I wouldn't even say that I lie, I just don't tell people the whole truth, I don't flat out tell them complete bulls***
thanks very much for the comments Eliane :)
I personally think lying isnt good for the soul. When people start lying it creeps into other areas of their lives and into their subconsious. Its much better to always live the truth. By your post you are encouraging others to start lying. If you notice the way you explained your justification of it, you yourself dont even use the word "lying" you say instead "will have to tell information to".
Im sure youre an amazing guy and have a huge heart and wonderful intentions so please dont be offended by my reply. I only mean well and wish you everything beautiful. x
I disagree. There are some people in certain situations that you will have to tell information too... I was living with my parents and when I moved to another province, I told them that I would continue with electrical apprenticeship after moving to put their minds at ease... I never really had any intention of doing so... I don't want people to worry about me...
What would have been better to tell them, "Oh ya, I'm moving 5000km away, I have no place to live and I don't intend to work a normal life... " I'm sure that would've gone over well :P
I would love to be able to tell people my dreams and visions but if they can't handle it then I would rather tell them differently or just not tell them at all, in some instances people ask questions ...
I did read it and its beautiful to dream and have sparks fly in your soul and do big things, but theres never a need to lie and make up stuff. If I'm around anyone who wouldnt understand I just keep things to myself.
right on Heather, it's much easier to keep things to yourself :)
@Steven, sometimes people can offer wisdom or advice... sometimes not so its tricky
did you read the full article?
Why do you think its good to lie and recommend others lie too? I dont understand this philosophy. Makes no sense to me.
I sometimes do this when I know I'm gonna get shot down. Then after I achieve the goal I tell them ;)

São Lourenço (Saint Lawrence) is a Brazilian town in the south part of state of Minas Gerais, in the Southwest region of the country. It is one of the smallest Brazilian municipalities, with only 57.2 km² (22.1 sq. mi), and it is well known nationwide for its natural beauty and healing mineral waters. It is conveniently located at an equal distance - approximately 3.5h - from two major cities, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. São Lourenço has a yearly mean temperature of 18°C. In the winter the lows can reach 0°C, sometimes with heavy frost. The region has occasionally been affected by flooding; the most severe occurred in 1940, 1986, 1990 and 2000. In January 2000, heavy storms caused the waters of Rio Verde to rise more than 4.5m, leaving parts of the city underwater, including the city centre and the municipal park where the mineral water fountains are located. The resilience and strength of is citizens has brought the city back to its former charm and their warm welcome continues to entice visitors from near and far. Tourism is the main economic activity of the city although it has also become the regional hub for shopping, medical care, banking, etc. During winter break or vacation city prepares especial events for city population an also for turists. End of July and beging of August the city celebrates day of São Lourenço (the Saint) with a festival that includes music shows. The city was classified by the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics)as the second better HDI (Human Development Index) of Minas Gerais and it receives around 600.000 visitors annually. Sao Lourenço boasts of more than 50 hotels, that can suit any budget, and many offer special packages for families and recreational activities for children. Most hotels are all inclusive, offering buffet-style meals that can amaze your senses with the fascinating cuisine of Minas Gerais. Several outstanding events take place in Sao Lourenço every year such as the International Choir Festival, Cachaça Festival - a national hard liquor distilled from sugar cane, Winter Festival, Street Carnaval, Orchid Exhibits, Megacycle (a motorcyclists gathering), Hot Air Balloonists Gathering, as well as several conventions and conferences of major Brazilian organizations.

Chromatic Casting: Finding A Host For The 2012 Academy Awards
By Arturo R. García
It was almost enough to make you say, F-ck The Muppets.
No sooner did Eddie Murphy give up his shot at hosting the Academy Awards in a heart-warming display of solidarity with Bro – I mean, Brett – Ratner than an online campaign recommending Kermit The Frog and friends get the job pick up some steam.
The Muppets hosting The Oscars? The most interesting part of that pairing would be figuring out which half should feel more insulted.
But at least Muppets fans are coming at this from a place of honest – if at times overbearing (wokka wokka!) – enthusiasm. It's been more disappointing to scan around other sites and see the same basic wishlist of prospective replacements:
- Stephen Colbert/Tina Fey
- Neil Patrick Harris
- Somebody associated with Glee
- Nobody at all
- Not to be outdone, the Huffington Post also nominated a muppet, albeit one with his own talk show.
- And one black person
With such a lack of creativity from normally creative people (Tracy Morgan? Oprah? Chris Rock?) you'd think Ratner was still doing the show! O-HOHOHOHO!
But seriously, folks. We here at The R can do better than that – especially since Rick Perry's botched his audition last night. And our nominees are …
Samuel L. Jackson & Denzel Washington
Pros: The POC Pacino and DeNiro. Who in the hell would pick Tracy Morgan over a) the world's highest-grossing actor and b) Denzel F'ing Washington? They can do classy, they can do funny – really, so can anybody on our list – and both have the critical and popular chops to command respect in this kind of setting.
Cons: No, really, go ahead and find one.
Will & Jada Pinkett Smith
Pros: If we're looking for a husband-wife duo to anchor the proceedings, how about a guy who's not far behind SLJ in the bankability chart and a star in her own right? If nothing else, you'd think they would have better chemistry than Hathaway and Franco, right?
Cons: Who would be more awkward for the Smiths to bring out – their kids or their basketball team?
George Takei
Pros: To the hipster demographic, he's America's Other Funny Gay Guy. But more importantly, he's gone from part of an old sci-fi show to become one of Hollywood's more strident advocates, and with his years of service to the business, it's hard to imagine many people who would cherish this job more.
Cons: "Too" tied in to the bygone days of the Star Trek franchise.
Rosario Dawson, Zoe Saldana, Gabourey Sidibe & Rashida Jones

They say you can't go home again.
Just don't bother to tell that to Charles "Chip" Groat.
The man who not too long ago was the U.S. government's highest-ranking geologist recently returned to the University of Texas at Austin, where his continually evolving, high-profile career bridging academic pursuits with public policy was initially launched.
But the plum new appointment at the university effective June of this year is a far cry from Groat's earlier gig at UT, where he occupied the slots of associate professor and acting director of the Bureau of Economic Geology.
This time around, he'll serve as founding director of the Center for International Energy and Environmental Policy. He'll also occupy the Jackson Chair of Energy and Environmental Resources and will lead the university's Energy and Mineral Resources graduate program within the John A. and Katherine G. Jackson School of Geosciences and the College of Engineering.
And in addition to these considerable responsibilities, he'll serve on the board of directors at Pogo Producing Co.
Can you say "active"?
The UT folks lured Groat away from the U.S. Geological Survey, where he was ensconced as executive director. He held the top spot at the Survey since November 1998, following a stint as associate vice president for research and sponsored projects at UT-El Paso, where he also was a professor of geological sciences, among a variety of other positions.
A host of earlier prestigious positions include:
In a letter to Groat upon his resignation from the USGS, U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Gale Norton noted "I cannot overstate your impact on the USGS and its contributions to science excellence and leadership under your stewardship."
"We're extremely lucky to get Dr. Groat," said Dr. William Fisher, dean of the UT Jackson School of Geosciences. "He is an academic who knows how to get things done at the national level, and who understands public policy in one of the most pressing areas facing the world today -- the crossroads between energy and the environment."
Groat obviously recognizes the potential, too.
"The USGS is a great organization, and I likely would have stayed longer if this had not come up," Groat said. "But once I saw what it would allow me to get involved in, it was a pretty easy decision to take the step.
"The Jackson School (which unites the department of geological sciences with the Institute of Geophysics and the Bureau of Economic Geology) wanted to put new life into the program of energy and mineral resources," he noted. "The university decided it wanted to get involved in not just a fragmented look at energy and environmental stuff but to do so on a policy level.
"That's something I was given a chance to be a part of," he said, "and at this point it's a good thing to be doing.
"The idea for the Center for International Energy and Environmental Policy was to get into international policy in energy," Groat continued, "and to put the geosciences of the Jackson School, the College of Engineering and the LBJ School of Public Affairs together and say that what we do on policy should be based on science and engineering, which is a twist.
"Instead of sociologists and political scientists pontificating on policy, let's talk about what's needed and important from a science and engineering point of view in the energy field," he said, "and use that to inform policy recommendations."
The Center will support research informing governments and corporations worldwide on the formulation of policies and strategies and the environment.
The university has committed to hiring up to six new faculty members in the Center. The approach being taken to accomplish this is an about-face from the typical method used to staff up a new entity where each involved group independently recruits faculty to come together to try to make the new organization work.
"We'll pick priorities and issues and then find people who will commit to working on those issues and give substance and a strong foundation to the Center's activity," Groat said. "This is unique in that it's science, engineering and policy working together and working on an international scale.
"It brings expertise from the three partners together to work in concert rather than independently."
A sampling of the many issues the Center will address include:
"We'll be looking at what will drive changes in attitude of politicians and the public about the need for these things," Groat said. "We'll try to put ideas on the table that come from a place that understands about producing energy and understands about what can be done, so this part of the world is heard from rather than just places far away from an oil well."
Given his years at the helm of the USGS, Groat understandably has considerable insight when it comes to energy supply.
"The doomsayers say we're running out of oil," he noted, "but just from the undiscovered resource assessments the Survey has done nationally and internationally, even with the oil that's known now the reserve growth has amounted to a lot more than the new discoveries."
In fact, Groat noted he doesn't recall we've ever actually run out of any resource and had to do something else.
Although the resources may be in place, admittedly there is a chronic problem of access of varying types when it comes to oil and gas deposits, Groat noted. For instance, prospective areas for new natural gas discoveries in the western United States can be inaccessible for a number of reasons, including insufficient numbers of Bureau and Land Management personnel to process the permit applications.
Still, he sees the positive.
"We haven't even applied reserve growth numbers to some of the big fields in other parts of the world," Groat said.
"It's finite, but that doesn't mean we're going to run out next year, or 10 years or even in the next 50 years."

It's no secret that the apprentice chefs come to Fifteen Cornwall with very challenging pasts. Often they've experienced problems with drugs and alcohol, criminality or difficult home lives. True to Jamie's original mission our aim is to give them the tools with which to create a successful, vibrant future.
We believe that change must come from within and our training programme is designed to achieve exactly that. All we ask for is a desire to make that change.
Getting on to the programme is a challenge in itself. For good reason. The apprentices aren't used to achievement and the programme is designed to give a sense of accomplishment at every step. The more these young people are reinforced with a sense of their own abilities the more they begin to recognise in themselves their own potential.
The hard graft continues throughout the programme. Whether it's working intensively for long hours, striving for a top restaurant standard of cooking in a short time or spending a month's work experience at a leading restaurant we make them prove themselves time and again. Mind you, that's not to say it isn't fun. The programme is a balance of developing self-belief, hard work and passion. Food is a magical way to fire passion so we use sourcing visits, a trip to Italy and regular supplier visits to really cement a hunger to learn about and work with food. One-on-one training throughout the programme with our team of professional chefs doesn't do any harm either.
When it comes to graduation, after 16 tough months, the apprentices have blossomed into successful, confident young men and women with richly rewarding careers ahead of them.
The application process
Last time we looked the application success ratio was hovering around that of the SAS. Don't worry; the process is a little less gruelling. With around 200 applicants for just 20 places it's not an easy programme to get on to, but if you're serious about wanting to make a positive change to your life then click here for more information.
What does the Fifteen Cornwall training course involve?
The journey from apprentice to professional chef begins with four months at Cornwall College. Apprentices study for VRQ1 in Catering Studies and get up to speed with Health and Safety, and Food Hygiene certificates. This mix of academic success and developing practical skills empowers the group early on. We back it up with valuable support from the college team, all the time encouraging them to see their own potential.
With exams out the way comes the best bit. Twelve months in the Fifteen Cornwall kitchen. Our team of 20 professional chefs create a atmosphere of learning and by graduation each apprentice will have mastered the skills and confidence to succeed in all stations of a professional kitchen. Not only that but over the course of the programme the apprentices study towards NVQ2 so that they graduate with both the know-how and qualifications needed to further their careers. The training culminates in a month long placement at a top restaurant where apprentices get to put their skills to the test in a commercial kitchen.
We're realistic and we know that the problems apprentices arrive with don't simply vanish so our welfare team is on hand throughout the programme to help where it's needed.
And then what?
We've had our wagers on when we'd see our first apprentice head chef and who it would be but no one predicted it would come as soon as it did. For the apprentice in point it was an incredible transformation. He's made us all very proud. It's just one example of what the students go on to achieve.
With such a valuable skill set the world is truly theirs but no matter how long its been since an apprentice has graduated The Cornwall Food Foundation is always there to offer support and career development. We pledged a long-term commitment to the Fifteen Cornwall apprentices and it's one we rigorously stand by.

Venice Beach has many things—Muscle Beach, Rollerbladers, the ocean, but one thing it always lacked was a truly great rooftop deck. A former Best Western, the Hotel Erwin—which opened in June—has filled that void with arguably Los Angeles' most spectacular 360-degree view and a phenomenal location, just 200 feet from the sand. "On a clear day, you have views of Venice and Catalina Island to the Santa Monica Bay, all the way over to the Hollywood Hills and even the Hollywood sign," says Benjamin Malmquist, the hotel's general manager.
On the rooftop deck—appropriately called High—guests can enjoy the view while sampling creative cocktails and light snacks, including oysters, assorted cheeses and shrimp cocktail. For a full dinner, one must sacrifice the view for the tastes of Hash on the hotel's first floor. The restaurant, open for breakfast and dinner, specializes in—you guessed it—gourmet hashes, including corned beef hash, vegetarian hash and a special hash of the day. Chef Micah Fields makes sure breakfast is reminiscent of a home-cooked meal—honest, hearty and filling.
Dinner is an array of farmers' market-inspired finds that rotate seasonally, save for a few signatures, such as the Wagyu burger on a toasted pretzel bun and "s'ghetti" and meatballs. There is also an ahi tuna "hash"— naturally—and a made-from-scratch soup every day. "We're value driven," says Malmquist. "This is a great addition for Venice folks looking for a nice, fresh alternative. Our goal was to create a hotel that was reflective of Venice Beach and its unique community." Hip, comfortable, scenic and a little funky—the Erwin seems to have accomplished its goal. 1697 Pacific Ave., Venice Beach, 310-452-1111; hotelerwin.com

Ok - we played a few places over the holiday weekendIs 1) the 2X12 closed back and 2) the 2X10 open back?
(here in US it was Labor Day holiday weekend)
and so the first place was small club and I brought
the mark iii and the 2x10. I thought it was more than
enough for the place. But NO! The 2x10 just washed out.
Yeah we played well and I just played through it and just
chalked it up to experience.
The other 2 nights I brought the 2x12 and it made a big difference.
We also played a private party and the 2x12 was perfect once again.
It is not so much a volume issue (the 2x10 being driven my the
mark iii head puts out a lot of volume - but it just doesn't seem
to cut as well or sit in the mix as well. Not sure why because
in band practice in a big basement it sounds fine).
The 2x12 obviously can put out slightly more volume but
the thing is that it can just punch better and sit down in
the mix better. It's not a volume issue really just a 'girth'
or just better presence tonally. We are not playing death metal
or dropped D or anything like that - it's just the 2x12 sounds a lot
better and will now be my all around cab to use.
I use to really like the 2x10 - it's very portable and sounds good
but after this weekend I am kinda leery of bringing it out to play
in slightly bigger clubs and of course anything outdoors.
So for now the 2x10 is on hiatus and the 2x12 is the #1 cab.
Now I am not knocking Vibrolux users out there - that is one
incredible sounding amp (2x10) but maybe there is a difference
because the mark iii with the 2x10 is a washout. With the 2x12
it's a completely different (for the better) sounding rig.
ok. just wanted to spout off a bit. I don't think I will be
necessary recommending 2x10 rigs anymore for general cover work.
Ah well...
If so, there is your principal difference. And
you'll end up like me - the 2X12 is the Constant,
everything else floats in and out around it.
(the 2x12 has a 'convertible' back which lets you
add or remove back panels) So imagine an open back
cab but where the middle would be open I have
the back installed there which only leaves a little
opening across the top of the back about 2 inches wide.
So it's mostly a closed back. (if this makes sense).
The 2x10 is your classic open back design.
Never thought how much of a difference overall this would make
but come to think of it - I guess it really does.
I think (it might sound silly) but that little 2 inch
opening across the back of the 2x12 gives it just enough
opening to let some of the mids or high mids come out
and swirl around a bit without being overly directional.
hmmm. thanks for that mention there.
I thanked him for the comments but that's not the issue (out of phase).
I am running a Mesa/Boogie Mark III head with a separate 2x10 cab.
So the speakers aren't out of phase. (in a different setup such as
perhaps a 2x10 combo where each speaker runs to a separate speaker out
on the amp's back panel then maybe this could have been an issue).
But anyways the out of phase is not an issue with my setup.
Unless the speakers are wired out of phase with each other. Not impossible. My first Hiwatt 4x12 came wired with one speaker out of phase (bought used, so who knows who was the culprit).

Rediscover Brunei Darussalam through the eyes of the People
Farhanna Pura is an analyst by day and fashion designer by night. She's the visionary and chief-everything-officer behind the online boutique, Na Forrer. She was a panellist in the Reality of Women in Business eBunda Cafe session in 2011, and in April 2013, Na Forrer was showcased in the United Kingdom at the Regent's College Fashion Week. Check out Na Forrer online and follow her journey on Instagram and FB.
Describe yourself in a few words.
I am a random odd individual with big dreams.
Tell us about Na Forrer.
Na Forrer was born in May 2010. It first started as an online boutique showcasing one piece Ready-To-Wear outfits designed for stylish young professionals between the ages of 18 to 35. The website itself had an automated pay system. Though, I found out that most Bruneians do not favour the idea of using their credit cards online.
Most of my clients are career women, who often want to look good for events and dinners. Most complained that they could not find decent outfits for an occasion. This is also because most Bruneian ladies have unique shapes and sizes. With this, Made to Measure has become the main business of Na Forrer and the website is now a platform to showcase designs.
Social Media has been good to me. Instagram and Facebook have always been the mediums used to contact and view some of designs as most designs can be found on the website itself. Because I married a handy man and a talented web designer, my husband has been maintaining the website which enables the business to be known and exposed to the International market. My current clients are from Brunei, Singapore and London.
Let's take a step back; where does the name "Na Forrer" come from?
The label name Na Forrer is a combination of my nickname, Nana and my surname Pura (it doesn't sound like Forrer yet but let me get to that). I wanted something that screams "couture". My father was named after my grandfather's colleague, Forrer which was stated in his birth cert (Ak Mohd Forrer) but grandmother decided to Malay-fy his name to Pura. That's how Na Forrer came about.
What is the inspiration behind your designs?
My collections and designs are inspired by seasons. For example if it is time for Spring-Summer, I bring out bright colors and crazy colorful graphics. I am not really an "on trend" type of designer. I would go for something with style that flatters a woman's body. Celebrities like Victoria Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicole Richie are my go to for style inspiration.
Most times, I would assess the customer's personality that matches their style to create the perfect outfit for them. So, I feel my clients are also part of my inspiration.
How would you describe the style of Na Forrer?
The Na Forrer garment has a strong and bold element to it. Infusing modern and trendy designs, the silhouette and cut stays traditional and classy to flatter the woman's body.
To cultivate the reading culture among the community, for the second time this year reading enthusiast group Bruneians Read (B:READ), in collaboration with Mabohai Shopping Complex, will be holding a public bookswap event on the 24th November 2013.
Like the group's last event held in June, the November bookswap promises to be fun-filled for both young and old, where people will be able to exchange books with fellow book lovers, as well as discuss and share their love of books and reading.
B:READ and Mabohai will also be holding activities throughout the day, such as a mass story writing, dramatic readings, colouring competition and children's readings.
The Management of the Mabohai Shopping Complex said,"We are very excited to be partnering again with B:READ to present the Mabohai Bookswap on 24th November. This event is a fantastic opportunity for local bookworms to share their love of books with other like-minded enthusiasts, and visitors are encouraged to bring along their pre-loved books for other book fans to browse, and to browse the displays themselves for titles that they can then bring home to read and keep – or bring along to the next bookswap!
We encourage parents to take their children to the Mabohai Shopping Complex on 24th November to join this event and to take part in a book-themed colouring competition for children and the many other exciting activities held throughout the day."
B:READ's bookswap will be held on the 24th November 2013, from 11AM to 6PM, at the Mabohai Shopping Complex at Bandar Seri Begawan. More information can be found on their Facebook page http://facebook.com/breadbn
Abdul Kabir bin Zainidi is a Bruneian actor who is currently residing in Paris, France. He trained at the Cours Florent acting school in Paris from 2007-2010, where he won the best actor Lesley Chatterely Award in 2010 for his acting in a production of 'Angels in America'. He is perhaps best known in Brunei as having the first Bruneian film selected into the Cannes film festival – 'Bread Dream' was selected for showcase in the 2012 short film corner.
Tell me about yourself.
Greetings. I am a Bruneian-born French-based artist called Abdul Zainidi. Granted, an unusual choice for a stage name but since arriving in Europe and mainly studying in England I have come to accept being called Abdul Zainidi instead of Abdul Khabir Bin Zainidi. Plus I was born with this name so to avoid further dismaying my parent's intentions, I prefer to keep my birth name as they had wanted. I feel it keeps my Bruneian roots and Islamic standing intact. At the same time the Zainidi name adds a touch of exoticism.
I consider myself truly an artist from Brunei, with my Bruneian short films made in Brunei 'Bread Dream' and 'Teluki' and 'Gagak dan Merak'. At the same time I am also a writer and I am influenced a lot by Gothic English and American literature and the writing of poets. Most of my work is rich in imagery and symbolism and draws upon symbiotics – I am influenced by Mary Shelley, the Bronte sisters, Edgar Allen Poe, Clark Ashton Smith and Sylvia Plath to name just a few. (There are more where that came from and as endless as the bottom of a well in the middle of the North Pole). I recently shot sequences of a music video for a DJ from Lyon, called DJ Bobot Wallas and that diverted away from my usual standard surrealistic work. It was a good experience, and shooting in the heart of Paris at the Eiffel tower proved unforgettable as the people you encounter. These small comforts are what make the task of making films bearable. It is an occupation that I try to live by and have learned to love. Although it certainly does not come easy to earn a steady income as such – what can I say? It is more about the artistic recognition that comes when you are part of very few from a humble country trying to make a difference.
Walk us through a typical day in the life of Abdul Zainidi, filmmaker.
Well on a general basis my daily routine consists mainly of getting up at least at nine in the morning because I feel the brain is active at this time and going jogging. Only during summer though as in other seasons I could risk freezing my talent and other nether regions of my body. I feel that artists should stay physically active and fit and this is accomplished through sport – I usually jog and swim and even partake in collective dance classes.
This may shock many people that know or follow my work but I rarely consume breakfast because I just don't feel the urge to glorify the most important meal of the day. I drink in its absence a sinful amount of coffee (an artist's beverage and filmmaker's ambrosia). Then if I have a shoot I consult with my actors or colleagues what time we are to convene and meet usually in the afternoon where I avoid eating completely. I only reward myself with lunch after a shoot. I feel that eating before makes me lethargic.
After a shoot, which could last for up to five hours, I then assess whether I am 'famished' and whether I have accomplished my objective for the day with a shoot. For me eating and making film are closely associated. There is a recurring theme of food in my work. I then return home after spending social time with friends / actors / collaborators. I don't ignore dinner, on the contrary, I savour the feast as much as possible.
Being in my line of activity allows me to keep quite slim and active. Actually it is sport, moving the camera, processing the brain, resolving shots, following the actors with your lens. The myth is that actors exert more force than the filmmakers but in actuality it is the filmmakers who are more exhausted. Which is why I tend to sleep well after a good day's shoot - typically around 1 am in the morning, depending on deadlines.
Your work generally straddles and draws on your experience as a Bruneian and in France. How would you define a Bruneian artist? Conversely, do you think nationality has a place in art?
I feel that I represent a surreal, art-house, independent style of film movement from Brunei. As opposed to my other fellow Bruneian filmmakers who emphasize mainly action and comedy. I respect their work and suppose that residing abroad mainly in Paris has 'seeped' and 'leaked' itself into and shaped my work.
I am a fan of abstract art. I am influenced in equal measure by modern and contemporary art as well. The works of Salvador Dali, Francis Bacon and Edward Hopper are a few I am inspired by. Andy Warhol, Jean Basquiat and Yoko Ono are also artists I borrow some 'artistic tools' from. What I mean by 'artistic tool' is that all of us artists - be we writers, painters, directors - we all have a certain feature that defines our work and just like in fashion, we all borrow and lend from each other and recycle it. In other words all artists are inspired by and borrow from each other. I have definitely borrowed, in my short films, the artistic tools of David Lynch, David Cronenberg, Charlie Chaplin…to name a few. It is to an extent all acceptable and as the saying goes 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.' However outright copying identically a style is just plain plagiarism.
The sixth annual technology and entrepreneurship forum in Brunei, THiNKBIG Innovate 2013, is just around the corner, scheduled to take place on Wednesday 13th November 2013. The forum, themed "BREAKTHROUGH: Transforming Business through Innovation" will focus on how Innovation, Creativity and Multimedia have a role in driving the Brunei economy forward.
Confirmed international speakers to the THiNKBIG Innovate Forum include the following thought-leaders: Andrew McGlinchey, Head of Product Management, Google, Southeast Asia; Daryl Arnold, CEO of Newton Circus; Jonathan Buford, CEO & Co-Founder of Makible 3D Printing; Dr. Dina Ibrahim, Associate Professor in Broadcast and Electronic Communication Arts, San Francisco State University as well as former Brunei National Rugby Captain, Steve Lai who currently resides in Singapore working as a Presenter and Senior Producer with Channel NewsAsia.
Steve will be involved in two sessions at the Forum. He will first join Dr Dina Ibrahim as a panelist on the topic of Emerging Trends in Social and Broadcast Media where they will together explore the power of the media in connecting people and its role in influencing innovation. Forum participants can expect to gain insights on how to leverage traditional and digital media to connect with new and old audiences, and also about the media's role in building bridges between businesses.
Steve will then participate in a Masterclass on Creativity together with Siti Kamaluddin (right), Managing Director at Origin Films and Film Director of Brunei's first-ever commercial feature film, Yasmine. The Masterclass, titled "Thinking without a Box", will revolve around topics such as How to think and work creatively, Where does creativity come from, How to best nurture workplace creativity, and Creativity boosters and killers.
In the lead up to the Forum, Steve shared about his humble beginnings growing up as a "kampong kid" at the old flats in Ong Sum Ping, and then in Manggis Satu. "I remember chasing falling kites around Manggis after school. My parents still live in that Manggis house built on stilts and it is where I call home."
Prior to joining Channel NewsAsia in March 2012, Steve worked at ESPN Star Sports as a presenter for Sportscenter Asia and Sportscenter India, as well as, working as a broadcast journalist for the 24hr channel ESPNews. Steve, whose first job was as a Bellboy at The Brunei Hotel recalls, "I made my first step in front of the camera in 2009, as a part-time presenter for News at Ten and World News on Radio Television Brunei." When asked, "Where does creativity come from?" Steve replied, "Freedom. Freedom to think. Freedom to act. Freedom to fail. Freedom to try again."

I have been interested in birds since I was six, since then I've birded on and off around the world but only seriously since 1997 when I could afford to travel farther than my back yard. Several trips to Central and South American, North, East, South and West Africa, South Central and Southeast Asia and Europe. Originally British, I lived overseas in the middle east, North Africa and the Caribbean and now live in the United States. I got into recording in April of 2008, though I had made a few tape recordings with a dictaphone previously. I Started out with a Sony digital dictaphone but now I use an Olympus LS-10, which I've had since 2009 and a Sennheiser ME67 as of June 2011. I also have an Audio Technica ATR6550 which has served me well but my ATR55, that I started with, has given up the ghost. My current picture is me recording Black-faced Laughingthrush at Chele La, Bhutan. As of Nov 2012 I've begun doing some guiding for BirdingEcotours.

The Boy who was Captured by the Bad Thunderbirds
by Joseph LaMère
(300) In a little village there once lived an orphan boy and his grandmother. As the boy grew up, he found a chum of the same age. One day they went out to get some hickory-wood to make bird-arrows. When these arrows were ready, the orphan boy went out hawk-hunting. He captured a young pigeon-hawk (kirikirisge). He got fond of it, and kept it at home as a pet.
One day he put some tobacco in a little bundle and tied it around the hawk's neck. Soon after this the pigeon-hawk disappeared, but it returned not long after without the tobacco-bundle. So he put another bundle around its neck, and soon the bird again disappeared. This incident was repeated again and again.
One day long after, when the hawk was full grown, the boy again tied a bundle of tobacco around its neck, and told the bird that he thanked it that it had stayed with him so long, but now that it was full grown, if it cared to, it could go wherever it wished. Thereupon the bird flew away and never returned.
The two chums, one day, went oct again to find some dogwood for pointed arrows. They went around the brush, and accidentally got separated, for it was a cloudy and rainy day. While they were separated, the bad thunder-spirits seized the orphan and carried him to their home.
The chum hunted for him a long time, but then gave up in despair and returned home. The chum returned day after day to the place where his friend had disappeared, to search for him and to mourn for him.
(301) When the bad [thunder-]spirits (wakąjašišigera) seized the orphan, they tied him to the floor, binding his wrists and feet to stakes. Their purpose was to hold him in this position until there was nothing left in his stomach, because it was their rule that only then would they devour human beings.
While the boy was thus extended, they watched him carefully in order to prevent his escape.
One day the little pigeon-hawk thought he would go to see this person of whom the thunder-spirits were talking so much. What was his surprise to recognize in the prisoner the man who had given him all the tobacco, and with whom he had lived for so long a time.
He went out and killed some pigeons; roasted them, and put some bones and some of the meat under .his wings, and went back to see the prisoner. He managed as best he could to drop some meat into his mouth. He kept on doing this every day until the bad thunder-spirits began to mistrust him. "This man," they said to themselves, "ought to be cleaned out by this time; and if he is not, that pigeon-hawk must be feeding him secretly." So the next time the hawk appeared, they decided to put him out. One of them took hold of him and pushed him towards the door. The pigeon-hawk, however, intentionally fell into the fire, burnt himself badly, and, crying at the top of his voice, ran to his brother, Big-Black-Hawk, the chief of the Thunder-Birds. "What is the matter, brother?" the latter asked. So Pigeon-Hawk told his brother the whole story as piteously as he could, — how the man who was now starving had befriended him on earth, and given him much tobacco; and how he was now a prisoner and about to be devoured.
Big-Black-Hawk got angry, and went over to the place where the prisoner lay, and told the spirits that they had done wrong in bringing this man up there to be eaten; that he had tried to be patient, and had not reprimanded them. When, however, they pushed one of their own comrades into the fire, he could no longer be quiet. They could not have their prisoner. So he cut the prisoner loose, and took him along with him.
Little Pigeon-Hawk, in the mean time, brought him pigeons, roasted them, and fed him, for he was almost starved to death. After the prisoner got stout again, he made a bow and some arrows for himself, and went out hunting with little Pigeon-Hawk.
(After a while he found some beavers and grizzly bears, and the story repeats itself as in the preceding one. The first beaver was found through accident by an arrow falling into a well and getting smeared with chalk. When the orphan found they were anxious to have these beavers and grizzly bears, he went out hunting for them regularly. Now, these animals had been there all the time, but being spirits themselves, like the thunder-spirits, they possessed the power of hiding themselves from them, although this did not protect them from the Indians.)
After a while Big-Black-Hawk told his younger brother that he would (302) have to bring his human friend back to the earth. "It is not that I don't like him," Big-Black-Hawk said, "but he does not belong here, and Earth-Maker would not approve of it." So Big-Black-Hawk told the orphan that he had benefited the thunder-spirits very much, but that he could not remain with them, and would have to return to his home. He gave him a club, of which, however, he was to make a substitute before he went back to earth.
Pigeon-Hawk took him back; and when he came to the earth, the orphan made a club and returned the original to Pigeon-Hawk.
The next evening his old chum came to the brush as usual, and was very much surprised to find him there. The orphan told his friend to go home and order some young unmarried people to build a lodge and have it scented with white cedar leaves.
The chum did as he was bidden; and after that, he, and the orphan armed with his club, went to the lodge and told the unmarried young people to go out hunting and bring a large buck, for they wanted to make a feast. The orphan assured the people that they would have no difficulty in finding one; they had but to go across the hill.
They did as they were bidden, and came home with a large buck. Then he told them to invite to the feast as many people as they wished. After a few days, and when all were assembled in the lodge, the orphan told the people of his experiences in the land of the Thunder-Birds. He then told the unmarried people to get two more deer for next day's feast. The next day he told them the same. On the fourth day he told them to get four big bears. On this day he told them that he and his friend were going to look around the country the next day, and, if any young men wished to come along, they might.
They all understood what he meant; i. e., that he was going on the warpath; so a good many decided to go along. They traveled that day until noon. Then the orphan told a few of his companions to go a little way and kill some animals. At supper-time he told them the same. After supper he told his companions that he was going to attack a certain camp. The spirit-birds and other animals were helping and directing him, so that he knew he would have no difficulty in finding the camp he was in search of.
When all was ready, they started out, and killed all the inhabitants of the camp. They kept on going from camp to camp, killing all the inhabitants. After they had killed the inhabitants of the fourth camp, the orphan told his friends that he was now going to stop, and would thereafter only go on the warpath in order either to revenge some one or to attack an enemy. [1]
Commentary: "chalk" — the chalk found on the boy's arrow when it landed in a well tells us that the spirit animal was a Waterspirit, since they live in subterranean caves lined with white minerals.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Denard Robinson's position is a secret for the final game of his college career.
That fact provides a preview of his unclear future in football.
The three-year starting quarterback might not throw a pass for No. 19 Michigan against No. 11 South Carolina on New Year's Day in the Outback Bowl. He probably will catch some passes, lining up as a running back or wide receiver.
Robinson hopes showing that he can make plays without taking snaps will help NFL teams assess his value.
"If you're making plays on the field, you can't hide that," Robinson said. "You can't hide a playmaker."
Some project Robinson as a receiver in the pros. NFL draft consultant and former Dallas Cowboys general manager Gil Brandt has another idea.
"I'd draft him to be a cornerback," Brandt said. "A quarterback never wants to be told he's going to have to play another position, but I don't think he can play quarterback in the NFL. I do know teams are always looking for cornerbacks, and I think Robinson could do it because of his quickness and speed. But he'd have to want to do it to make it work."
Robinson has declined to say much about what position he wants to attempt to play at the next level, saying he just wants to enjoy his senior season. Nerve damage in his right elbow knocked him off the field Oct. 27 against Nebraska, keeping him out for the next two games and limiting his ability to throw in the final two games of the regular season.
Michigan moved him to running back and also had him take snaps without throwing a pass against Iowa and Ohio State, games in which he had 23 carries for 220 yards and a touchdown and two receptions for 24 yards.
In Robinson's career, which started as Tate Forcier's backup when they both were freshmen, he has thrown for 6,250 yards and 49 touchdowns, and run for 4,395 and 42. He had a school-record 502 yards of offense at Notre Dame two years ago in his breakout performance.
Robinson is confident his talents will translate one way or another in the NFL, but he's trying to put those thoughts on hold until his college career on the field is over.
"I'm soaking it in and having fun," he said. "This is my last game and I want to make the most of it. My last time probably wearing the winged helmet, having fun with the team and just enjoying it with my teammates, the coaches and the staff that's around us."
Cal Chris Thomsen, who is serving as acting head coach at Texas Tech, will be Cal's new offensive line coach, according to multiple reports.
Thomsen, 42, was the Red Raiders' offensive-line coach this season, then was promoted to lead the team Friday against Minnesota in the Meineke Car Care Bowl after head coach Tommy Tuberville left to become coach at Cincinnati.
Thomsen spent seven seasons as head coach at Division II Abilene Christian, where he was 51-26, including the school's first undefeated regular season in 2008 since 1950.
