Caley History
Provided by
Chloe Gardner, Royal Caledonian
Schools Trust
1808 - 1815 The Start
The Highland
Society of London launched an appeal in 1808 to raise
money for an Asylum to house and educate the many young Scots who were
roaming the streets of London, having been orphaned by the Napoleonic
wars. It took seven years to raise sufficient funds and to prepare the
necessary Act of Parliament needed to create the Asylum.

Finally, on 14 June 1815, The
Caledonian Asylum was launched by Act of Parliament. The original Life
Guardians included their Royal Highnesses Frederick, Duke of York and
Albany, Edward Duke of Kent and Strathearn, Augustus Frederick, Duke
of Sussex and Earl of Inverness.
Others included the Dukes
of Marlborough, Buccleuch and Queensbury, Gordon, Argyll, Montrose,
Roxburgh, and Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington.
1815 - 1903 The Asylum and the Road
Following its incorporation the Guardians started
the long process of finding a site for the Asylum. In March 1819
the first six boys were elected and six good London women were paid a
shilling (5p in today's currency) a week to care for them.
The first Asylum
was opened in December 1819 in Hatton
Garden and was replaced in 1826 by a
newly built Asylum in Copenhagen Fields, Islington. It remained there
for 77 years and lent its name to the "Caledonian Road".
Children in a Caley school room
Initially the scholars were all boys but in
following some alterations, a space was found in the Asylum for a new
school for girls.
In 1852 Her
Majesty Queen Victoria became Patron and the Asylum was renamed the
Royal Caledonian Schools, although legally it was and still is the
"Caledonian Asylum". Royal patronage has continued since then.
When the Asylum was built in 1826
Islington was a quiet little village but by the end of the century
things had changed. On 12 December 1901 the
London Correspondent of the Aberdeen Daily Chronicle wrote:
"The Immediate
neighbourhood is not pleasant. Cheek by jowl with the Asylum sits
Pentonville Prison whose precincts have been darkened by the worse
criminals the nation affords, and around it gathers the scum of all
the nation on earth. Indeed one might walk the whole length of the
Caledonian Road from Kings Cross to Holloway and Holloway again for a
day and see nothing that his eye could rest on with pleasure except
perhaps the "weel-faured" faces of the boys and girls of the Asylum in
their dainty highland dresses."
Topping out ceremony at Bushey
Concerns like this
had already lead to the Directors deciding to find a new site. By the
end of 1897
they had decided to move to Bushey in Hertfordshire. Eventually after
various appeals �37,400 was raised and the new schools project was up
and moving. Part of the money came from the London County Council who
purchased the old Asylum for �16,000, demolished it and built flats.
These flats still remain and our history is remembered on the gates
which are adorned with thistles.
1903 - 1996 The Bushey Years
The School in Bushey, which still stands in Aldenham Road, cost
�40,000 and was built by Kerridge & Shaw of Cambridge. The architect
was William Emerson, the then President of the Royal Institute of
British Architects.
The Memorial Stone for the new Building was laid
on 10 May 1902
by Her Royal Highness the Princess Beatrice, Princess Henry of
Battenberg, a glittering occasion with great ceremony.
Later that month Bushey
saw another procession when the children arrived from London by train
and marched from Bushey Station led, of course, by the Schools' pipes
and drums.
The Schools, with the Chapel which was
destroyed during the Second
World War.
It was through the pipes and drums that the Schools left their
permanent impression in Bushey with regular church parades and at
local ceremonies. For many years the Caley Pipes and Drums played
their part in Armistice Day commemorations at the Bushey war memorial.
With many Caley scholars joining the armed forces
it is believed that ex-Caleys will have played their part in virtually
every armed conflict since 1835. Caley
lives were lost in both the First and Second World Wars. During the
Second World War the dining room was damaged due to enemy action and
the school chapel was destroyed due to an electrical fault.
From 1903 to 1948
education was provided at the Schools. The regime was strict but the
children received a good Scottish education. After 1948
the children attended local state schools.
Many royal visits to the Schools took place. In
the Prince of Wales who later became King Edward VIII visited the
Schools, and the following year the Duke & Duchess of York (who later
became King George VI and Queen Elizabeth) came to present prizes.
This was the beginning of a long association with the Schools for
Queen Elizabeth who as Queen Mother made two further visits and always
took a real interest in the work of the schools.
In 1986
our present Patron Her Majesty the Queen opened Coltart House, the
then new 6th Form accommodation.
Pipe majors of the future
By 1995 the
Directors, having given consideration both to the future of the
Schools and the wishes of the original founders, decided that the best
way to continue their work into the 21st century would be to close the
Bushey premises, sell them and invest the proceeds of sale to provide
an income for a new Educational Trust.
The buildings were
purchased by the Purcell School, one of the four principle music
schools in the UK, so music continues to grace these important
buildings - only now the pipes and drums have been exchanged for other
classical instruments.
1996 - and onwards
Since the educational trust was formed we have helped hundreds of
young Scots and awarded over one million pounds in grants. A whole new
generation of Caley Scholars is emerging.
Her Majesty The Queen, our patron, opens
Hub" in Inverness, we co-ordinated the
fundraising for this project.
Our links with the Armed
Forces remain strong and we have recently launched an educational
project which continues our work in helping to alleviate the effects
on service children caused by the moves required of their parents.

Press Release
May 2010�The Unseen Victims of
War� Research
desperately needed to find service children in Scottish schools.
There are an estimated
175,000 service children in the UK and this figure is rising as more
parents engage in service in Afghanistan. With media coverage of the
war at all time high, is anyone thinking about the impact of war on
Scotland�s service children?New studies into the impact
of the war on children have addressed the long-term behavioural
problems that families and schools now have to deal with as a result
of:� Impact on
child of living in a one-parent family for
significant periods of time� Influence
of the media�
Adjustments to family life when the parent returns� Impact of
moving homes, schools and communities� Stigma of
being a �Service child�� Dealing
with bereavement�
Dealing with parental illness or injury� Dealing
with divorce and family breakdownThere are no official
statistics on how many Scottish service children there are and where
they are based. Carolyn MacLeod from the Royal Schools
Caledonian Trust states the Government�s lack of available information
on how many Scottish children are affected by the war is �not good
enough. It is imperative for Scotland to have tangible research
on the number of service children in their schools to identify, locate
and support them to achieve at such a turbulent time."The Trust's Education
Wellbeing Project, one which has been recently launched in Fife; is
one of the ways they are supporting service. children.
This project aims to educate teachers about the impact of war on
service children and supply tools to enable them to deal effectively
with children who are affected by the war. The 18 members of the
project, including teachers, educational psychologists and service
personnel feel that the project will enable them to offer more support
to these vulnerable children.Carolyn MacLeod goes on to
say that "each service child should have a 'passport' so that if they
are relocated, the new school can see at a glance a progress report
instead of a child having to constantly re-sit entry exams. Each
school should have training and systems in place to help service
families and most importantly schools should have a 'critical plan' in
response to tragedy."The Royal Caledonian Schools Trust was
established nearly 200 years ago to help educate the sons and
daughters of Scots who were serving. It is a crucial time for
the charity, but with the help of Scotland we can succeed in our
mission to support Scottish service children.If you would like more

A chapel's survival-A A +A
Tuesday, May 20, 2014
THIS is the second summer that my two sons are spending their weekday mornings at the old Inayawan St. Augustine de Hippo chapel along F. Jaca St. At times, I would sit on the bench inside the chapel to watch teenagers provide catechesis to young children.
Candid Thoughts
The teaching was loose and there seemed to be a balance of frolic and learning.
I am happy that despite the adversities the officers running the chapel's affairs are currently facing, they are continuing to plod on by holding activities handed down to them by their elders. These ensure that the chapel, which is already more than a century old, will survive.
On the walls of the chapel are frames that the Inayawan St. Augustine de Hippo Chapel Association hung obviously to remind those who enter the structure of the chapel's glorious past.
One of these is an enlarged reprint of a photo already yellowing with age. It shows people posing for the camera with the front façade of the old chapel as background. A handwritten note says, "Ulida 1952." Also scribbled on the photo are names of the group's officers.
"Ulida," based on my little knowledge of Barangay Inayawan history (my wife Edizza is from there), means "Ulitawo ug Daga," a chapel organization that exists until today.
I don't know the people in the list scribbled on the photo but these include a "Eugenio Gabuya," probably the father of Cebu City Councilor Eugenio Gabuya Jr.
A closer look at the photo in that frame would show coconut palms growing at the sides of the old chapel. Meaning that, in 1952, the land surrounding the chapel was mainly agricultural.
It reminded me of the time in the early '80s when we used as a safe house a hut that stood in the middle of a rice field near the adjacent Sitio Laray, Barangay San Roque in Talisay City (formerly a town). I was surprised at that time because I always thought Cebu City was urban.
That photo depicted people and the chapel circa 1952. Note that last year, the chapel celebrated the 117th feast of its patron, St. Augustine of Hippo. Imagine the look of the chapel when Enrique Jaca initiated its construction in 1896.
We can say that the chapel and the veneration of St. Augustine have survived history's ups and downs. Unfortunately, these are currently being tested on two fronts.
One, priests of the Our Lady of Consolation Parish-Recoletos parish where Inayawan belongs, and by extension the entire Archdiocese of Cebu, still has refused to hold masses in the chapel following a conflict many years ago. Ironically, priests sometimes hold masses at the mortuary at the Inayawan Barangay Hall just across the street fronting the chapel.
Two, barangay officials reportedly conducted an inspection inside the premises of the chapel because portions of the structure, including its arch-decorated gate, would be affected by a road-widening project. I don't know how true the report is, but the idea of demolishing portions of the structures within the chapel compound has worried some people.
I don't know how things will pan out from here on, but I am confident that the chapel will survive. I know some of the officers of the Inayawan St. Augustine de Hippo Chapel Association led by Dr. Librado Macaraya and know them to be determined in their goal of ensuring that the chapel will continue to be the focal point of the veneration of St. Augustine of Hippo in the barangay and its environs.
I am also confident that the Archdiocese of Cebu and the priests of the Our Lady of Consolation Parish-Recoletos will see the light and won't let minor conflicts affect the strengthening of the Catholic faith in Inayawan. For a model, they can look Pope Francis's way.

11 years ago on this day, September 11th, 2001, a series of four suicide attacks that were committed in the United States. On that Tuesday morning, 19 terrorists from the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda hijacked four passenger jets. The hijackers intentionally piloted two of those planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, into the North and South towers of the World Trade Center complex in New York City; both towers collapsed within two hours. The hijackers also intentionally crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and intended to pilot the fourth hijacked jet, United Airlines Flight 93, into the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.; however, the plane crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after its passengers attempted to take control of the jet from the hijackers. Nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks, including the 246 civilians and 19 hijackers aboard the four planes.
Today is not only a day of remembrance for those that were lost, but also a day to honor the brave police, fire fighters, service men, and citizens who were there on the frontlines. That day marked all that remember in very different ways. Please take a moment today to stop and REMEMBER 9/11.

- bhm_lightTools
- current version: v0.3.4
- RIB Archives
- Extra shader geometry archives.
A aggregate of smaller applications meant to be useful when setting up lighting or shading parameters for CG scenes. Includes a Kelvin to RGB converter with the ability to send colors directly to lights in Maya and Softimage, Fresnel and Schlick Index of Refraction calculations and graphs, a simple shader development interface, and a notepad. See the individual sections below for descriptions of each app.
- Python 2.7 or greater is necessary (Tkinter and ttk installed).
- download the .zip file and unpack in the desired location
- Set environment variable 'LIGHTTOOLS' to the location of the install and create any aliases.
- on *nix style systems:
export LIGHTTOOLS=/Path/to/install/directory/bhm_lightTools/ alias lightTools=$LIGHTTOOLS'/__main__.py'
- Modify the file '.../bhm_lightTools/modules/preferences.py' with the appropriate paths and information for your system.
- This is required before the application will boot properly. If not all paths exist on your system (for instance, the shader development paths, src,rel,includes...), then create placeholder directories for these somewhere on your system (even in this app directory), and point the paths to those locations. The logic will be added at some point in the future to avoid this, but for now, this should allow the app to start up...
- If you set the alias above, you can simply type 'lightTools' into your terminal window to launch the app, otherwise: in a terminal window, 'cd' to the directory where the app was unpacked. Running the command 'python bhm_lightTools' (add the version name if you haven't removed it from the directory), will launch the __main__.py file included in the directory.
- Starting up the app may be different depending on the system you are on. Check to see how your system launches Python scripts or contact me if you continue to have issues.
- It is best to start the app with a command-line, as much of the data (stats, errors, etc..) is returned through the command-line, and information will be missed if you can't view it.
Calculates the RGB color values for a given light temperature in degrees kelvin.
- The values are returned in linear gamma space, so no extra conversions are required for linear pipelines (they can optionally be returned in sRGB as well).
- A color chip is also provided where the resulting color can be viewed and 'tweaked' manually.
- Ability to send the resulting color values to the selected light(s) in either XSI/Softimage, or Maya
- Returned values are echoed in the command line as well as the GUI, in a format easily copied to a RIB/Shader file or other non-supported cg software.
- Choose a white balance (D65 values of 6504k are used as defaults)
- Choose a desired light temperature in degrees Kelvin, or enter one of the various presets. These are listed below...
- Click "Run" to calculate the values.
- Manually entered values should be in the range of 1600k-25000k, as the algorithms don't support values outside of this range.
- A white-point of D65 will return the most accurate results. These results are nearly identical to the 'blackbody' light shader provided in mental-ray.
- The intensity value can be adjusted to lessen the intensity of the returned color (a value of 1 will essentially return the 'pure' color).
- For example a perceptual 'middle gray' can be achieved by setting both 'white balance' and 'light temp'to D65 (the default), and 'intensity' to 0.18 (18% gray). Set the returned values to 'sRGB' (the default is linear). When calculated, the color-chip should show roughly a middle gray, with values close to 0.5 for all channels (actual values are a little less).
- The color values may be sent to either Maya or XSI/Softimage by clicking the corresponding button in the 'Send To' area of the interface.
- In order for this to work, both XSI and Maya will need to be configured. This process is described below.
Send To
XSI/Softimage and Maya can be easily configured to interact with the LightTools application by following the steps below. When the 'Send To Maya' or 'XSI' buttons are pressed, the current resulting color from the LightTools app will be sent to the corresponding 3d application and applied to the selected light(s).
- install the supplied xsiaddon (located in .../bhm_lightTools/xsi). This addon serves two main purposes:
- Starts a 'server' by opening up a communication socket, and listening on the given port
- This is started (and re-started) on startup of XSI. You will need to close and restart XSI after installing the addon.
- If the connection seems to get corrupted at some point, save, close, and restart XSI to restart the server.
- Registers a few python functions so that they may be called natively.
- Starts a 'server' by opening up a communication socket, and listening on the given port
- Copy the supplied 'bhm_mayaCommands.py' (located in .../bhm_lightTools/maya) file into a directory on your system that can be found by Maya
- Mine is in: '/My Documents/Maya/scripts'
- In Maya, open the script editor and type the following lines (in Python, not MEL):
from maya import cmds import bhm_mayaCommands as bhm
- Drag these two lines to a custom shelf, and edit the newly created button accordingly.
- This script will have to be executed to start the communication socket and to register the appropriate Python commands with Maya.

An application to assist with shader development. Supports rendering and compiling with PRman, 3Delight, and Aqsis
- Compiling, rib manipulation, and rendering all in one window
- Helps avoid having to jump between 3 or 4 terminal sessions for writing/compiling/rendering shaders.
- This is not meant to replace the traditional text-editor/command-line approach, but rather to work along side of it. If you currently use another GUI to develop your shaders (Slim, etc..), or if you prefer to work directly in a 3d app such as Maya or Softimage, then this app won't do you much good.
For anything besides basic functionality, make sure your paths are set up correctly, and point to meaningful locations. To edit the default paths, edit the '.../bhm_lightTools/modules/preferences.py' file.
- 'Source' points towards to main source directory for your shader development.
- The 'Types' pull-down menu is populated from the directories within your 'source' folder, so it should work with the names of your directories, even if they are different from my own.
- A sample directory may look like this:
.../<shaderDev>/... /src/... /surface/ /light/ /displacement/ /volume/ /... /rel/...
- 'release' points to the directory to move the compiled shader to.
- 'includes' should point to your location of any header or 'include' files for compiling your source files. ** This is currently ignored, but will be added in the future.
- Choose the type of shader from the dropdown menu
- Enter the name of the shader in the entry box labeled "Shader:" (no extension ".sl" is necessary).
- Press the "Compile" button in the main toolbar, and check for any errors (they will be printed to the command line window).
- If errors occurred, fix, and re-compile.
- Shaders are automatically moved to the release directory.
- Note that the shader you compiled is not necessarily attached to the RIB file that is rendered for preview. You need to put the shader name into the rib-box below to actually attach it to the geometry. More on this below...
Note that renders are in linear gamma space by default. This means that without some sort of gamma correction or LUT applied to the framebuffer, the image will apear dark. Before any adjustments are made to the lights or rib files, try adjusting your framebuffer's preferences. You can also edit the gamma directly in the file: '.../renderman/shaderBall.rib'. The line "Exposure 1.0 1.0," could be adjusted to "Exposure 1.0 2.4" for a sRGB-like view for example. An lin->sRGB LUT is provided in the main 'renderman' directory. It has been used/tested with 3Delight's i-display, however it has not been tested with any other framebuffers (PRman's 'IT' provides its' own sRGB lookup capabilities).
- Choose your renderer
- This can be selected and changed on the fly to easily test your shader with different renderers to ensure compatibility/consistency.
- Three are listed by default (PRMan,3Delight,Aqsis), however you need to already have these installed and operational on your system for this to work.
- Enter the RIB file to be rendered.
- You may enter any rib file/directory you want; however, be aware that choosing a file other than the default 'shaderBall.rib' will more than likely break the functionality of the rib-boxes, and light checkboxes. If you wish to render something else, try supplying your own custom rib archive (described later), or if this isn't enough, you can even edit the three main rib files (shaderBall.rib, geometry.rib, and lights.rib). As long as you are cautious, these files can be manipulated and edited while retaining full functionality and compatibility with the GUI interface.
- Select the geometry to render (teapot, sphere, torus, 'shaderball', are provided by default. More can be downloaded or created manually).
- Edit the rib-boxes with the shader and any other attributes such as shader parameters.
- Select the lights to enable in the scene.
- It is often convenient to 'solo' a light(s) to see the how the shader reacts to a specific light (i.e. a rim light for instance).
- Regenerate shadowmaps if necessary.
- Press the render button in the main toolbar.
- If any errors occur, they will be printed to the command-line.
The rib-boxes are where you do most of the customization before rendering. The information in these boxes is injected into the rendered rib file just before rendering. This is just an alternative to editing the rib file directly, and allows you to bypass having to keep yet another window/file open. Use the rib-boxes to:
- apply shaders
- set shader parameters
- apply additional geometry specific attributes (such as displacement bounds)
- set surface colors
- etc...
There are two boxes provided. The upper box affects the 'primary' archive geometry, while the lower box affects any 'secondary' archives that might exist. This is to allow you to have a main 'development' shader applied to one object, and a more 'neutral' (i.e. plastic, etc..) shader applied to a secondary object (if it exists). Note that the only default objects that support the secondary rib-box, are the 'shaderball' and 'bulb' objects. The extra archives that can be downloaded above, have further examples of this. The rib-boxes have only two real commands that they support (note that they must be 'active' or selected for the commands to work):
- ctrl-s will save the current information to file (i.e. make it the default).
- ctrl-r will reload the saved information.
- It is not necessary to manually save the information before rendering; however, if it is not saved then the boxes will re-load the last saved information on the next launch.
All lights in the default rib file are located in the '.../bhm_lightTools/renderman/archives/lights.rib' file. At launch, the app will scan through this file and automatically add the corresponding GUI elements to interact with it. This means that this lights archive file may be edited/altered/added-to at will; however, there are a few limitations and rules to follow in order for the GUI to respond correctly.
- All lights must be declared in the following format:
LightSource "shadowspot" "key" # All on the same line (Lightsource "<shader>" "<lightname>"). Only this information on this line. "lightcolor" [0.9 1 0.8] # One shader parameter per line ("<parameter>" <value>) "intensity" 250 "point from" [5 6 -10] "point to" [0 1 0] "coneangle" [0.35] "float samples" 48 "float blur" 0.006 "string shadowname" ["./shadowmaps/key.shd"] # paths are relative to the main 'renderman' directory
- All lights must be accompanied by a corresponding integer variable (boolean switch) in the format of:
Illuminate "key" 1 # Again, all on one line (Illuminate "<lightname>" <0 or 1>
- This file, and the boolean values will be edited and overwritten any time that the corresponding check-box in the GUI is toggled. Therefore, you may edit this file, but beware that it should be closed upon finishing, or any changes you make may be lost.
- In order for shadowmaps to be generated for a light, they must be of a spotlight format (i.e. include a "point from" and a "point to" declaration). Obviously not all spotlight shaders require this, however for the purposes of this app, it is most convenient if they do.
By default, shadowmaps are used for shadowing. Because of this, these shadowmaps need to be regenerated any time that the shader geometry is altered/changed significantly. By pressing the "reprocess shadowmaps" button, the shadowmaps will be automatically generated according to the geometry selected.
- Shadowmaps are automatically generated for all spot-light type lights in the '.../renderman/archives/lights.rib' file. Any light without a 'from' and 'to' parameter will be ignored.
- Note that some shadowmaps may be shared between renderers. For example: 3Delight can read shadowmaps generated by PRman; however, the reverse is not true. Aqsis cannot read the files generated by either 3Delight or PRman; however, both PRman and 3Delight are able to read the shadowmaps created by Aqsis... This means that if you have Aqsis on your system, you can render the shadowmaps using Aqsis, and then freely switch between other renderers without having to re-generate new maps.
- For simplicity and compatibility between the renderers, currently only standard shadowmaps are generated. However, as these are essentially preview renders, even without DSM's the results seem to be passable even when using hair/fur geometry archives.
- The shadowmap resolution may be adjusted by editing the 'res:' entry field next to the 'reprocess shadowmaps' button. The default value may be adjusted in the preferences file. A (perhaps overly large) value of 1024px is used by default. Shadow generation times will be affected by the resolution of the maps as well as the complexity of the selected geometry; however, minimal improvements in speed are seen in the range of 256-1024 resolutions. All shadowmaps are generated at the same resolution.
- Shadow maps only need to be regenerated when changing the geometry archive used, or when switching renderers (see above for re-using maps between renderers).
- If you wish to use raytraced shadows, you can edit the '.../renderman/archives/lights.rib' file. Replace the shadowmap name (i.e. 'key.shd') with 'raytrace'. Note that this is significantly slower to render in most cases.
Adding Custom Archives
The rendering app supports the ability to easily add your own custom rib archives as optional rendering geometry. The steps to add an archive are as follows:
- Write the archive by hand or export if from your favorite 3d app.
- archive should only contain the geometry specification (exclude any lights,shaders,WorldBegin/End statements,etc...)
- Place the archive in a suitably named folder in the 'archives' directory. Within this folder, your rib files should be named 'primary.rib'(and 'secondary.rib', if there are two).
Folder Structure: .../renderman/archives/... /<archive_name>/... /primary.rib /secondary.rib
- That's it! The app will scan the directory on the next launch and add your archive to the list.
- You may need to add some additional transforms and scaling onto your archive to make it fit the scene and match the other existing archives. This can be achieved by adding the necessary transform blocks directly in the 'primary' and 'secondary' files. Have a look through the supplied archives for examples of how to do this.
- You can create more complex/nested archives if you wish, but just remember that your final archive names must match the above. As a reference, download the extra archives provided above, and examine the 'honda_car' archive. This showcases how to nest additional archives into the 'primary' and 'secondary' archives. This probably isn't a best-practice for production, but it greatly simplifies the addition of custom geometry into the app to provide alternative means of previewing your shaders.
This part of the application has just been replaced. The new charts should be pretty straight forward, but new information will be posted soon to hopefully clarify any issues. Thanks!
Not a whole lot to say about this one... It is a place to take notes while you work, or to generate a log of your progress.
- If used as a means to generate a log:
- you can edit the 'yourname' variable in the preferences file to set the default name.
- Information in the text field is appended to the selected log file, along with the artist name (yourname), and the current date.
- You can view the selected log by pressing the 'View Log' button in the main tool-bar
- v0.0.X
- command line only. No GUI
- V0.1.x
- GUI created
- v0.2.x
- updated GUI
- updated code and math
- added dropdown menus for presets (under linux and windows, you may have to click on the drop-down a second time to get the values to populate to the correct field...)
- v0.3.x
- Expanded app to incorporate a few other tools (IOR tables, Shader-dev/rendering environment, and a notepad/logbook)
- This also involved extensive (nearly complete) re-writes of much of the GUI and underlying modules. Because of this, much of the code is relatively fresh/untested, so let me know if you come across any issues...
- Added some error checking in the preferences file to allow for some flexibility in folder structure and missing directories
- Added new IOR graphing/chart app to replace the fairly useless IOR tables.
- Added checkboxes to toggle IOR curves in IOR app
- v0.3.4
- Added hooks into Maya and Softimage/XSI for setting light parameters based of returned colors
- Added 'simple' Fresnel curves in the IOR app for comparing against Schlick and complex Fresnel curves.
- General tinkering and restructuring of app. Broke out each 'app' into separate modules as the main module was getting a bit long to navigate on its own.
This software comes with no warranty, implied or otherwise. While the results are perceptually close, the math calculating the values is based heavily on estimations/approximations. This is meant as an artistic, not scientific, tool. Please use accordingly.

Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs
Thank you, Bob. I am absolutely delighted to be here with all of you. I obviously didn't get the memo about wearing green. (Laughter.) Had I known, I would have been wearing a green jacket. But I admire your green t-shirts. I was trying to figure out how I could get one.
This is one of my favorite projects, so I am really happy to be here to meet all of you. And, most of all, I want to congratulate all the Seeds of Peace who just completed your three-week program in Maine. A member of my own staff, Andrew Cedar, who is here, was actually once a Seeds of Peace counselor, and you're going to recognize him by his Seeds of Peace tie. Raise your hand. And he has told me a lot about the exciting interaction and activities that take place each summer.
I want to thank those -- these impressive young participants for their involvement, and especially thank Executive Director Leslie Lewin and her entire team at Seeds of Peace, for bringing young people like you together year after year. We are delighted to honor you, the Seeds of Peace, at this event. Your energy and courage are an inspiration to all of us. You remind us what really matters: To reach beyond cultural norms and historical hostilities to build real, personal relations across borders and barriers.
Governments do important work, but tolerance and understanding can't come from government bureaucracies. John Wallach understood this fact when he founded Seeds of Peace in 1993. Since then, the Seeds of Peace program has changed lives and created new realities. President Obama and Secretary Clinton firmly believe in the importance of expanding and strengthening relations between the people of the United States and the people of other nations. For this reason, the State Department is proud to support you, Seeds of Peace, in your important efforts.
As you return home from your experiences in Maine, I am confident that you will actively contribute to these partnerships and to the important relationships between your own countries and between your countries and the United States. During your weeks at camp you established new friendships that cross borders and barriers. You also became part of a new, global family that includes thousands of Seeds of Peace leaders. As we all know, Seeds of Peace is more than a summer program. It is dedicated to empowering young leaders from regions of conflict with the leadership skills required to advance reconciliation and coexistence.
It is now your turn, as alumni, to contribute to that mission through lasting relationships and continued public service. When I was last in India, I saw such service in action when I sat in on a video conference between Seeds in India and Pakistan, who were working together to change history textbooks on the relationship between nations. Think what that could do for the relations between your countries, if you look at the history between your two countries through different prisms, and look at it a little bit differently, the understanding that can really build. I am certain that you will initiate similar initiatives, and I look forward to hearing about your activities and achievements.
Now, enough from me. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Washington, and I know that you will build on your Maine experience by working with each other and the Seeds of Peace family after you return home. You are now all Seeds of Peace ambassadors, and we are proud to stand here with you. Thank you very much.

Burgess Park
View the latest plans to improve Burgess Park
At 56 hectares, Burgess Park is Southwark's largest park stretching from Camberwell and Walworth in the west to Peckham and the Old Kent Road in the east.
Burgess Park is unique in that it is a young park, developed as a result of the Abecrombie Plan for open spaces in 1943. The area was home to factories, densely populated streets and the Surrey Canal but badly bombed during World War II.
The park was built between the 1950s and 1980s, named after Councillor Jessie Burgess, Camberwell's first woman Mayor in 1973.
In 2012 Burgess Park re-opened after an £8m transformation, establishing it as a park central to the local community and recognised more widely for its heritage, sports facilities, lake, wildlife, design and horticultural excellence and even barbecues.
Please view our handy Love Burgess Park flyer - packed full of useful information including our BBQ areas, holding an event, our amenities and a wide range of high quality sports facilities.

"The combination of Click Commerce SNS and Servigistics brings together the pioneer in service parts planning with the leader in strategic service management. This pairing also brings strong vertical expertise. Click Commerce SNS dominated aerospace and defense, while Servigistics owned high tech. Together the two will be a strong force in the emerging opportunities in life sciences, consumer goods, retail and logistics."
"…this is not a merger of two companies but rather an acquisition of two financially distressed organizations by an opportunistic private equity firm. Marlin Equity Partners is a well-run company whose transaction approach, according to their Web site, is to buy underperforming business divisions or product lines, and companies in various forms of distress - a label which can certainly be applied to Servigistics and Click SNS (Service Network Solutions).
Consider the following: Click SNS includes a number of acquired companies, most notably LPA, which was a pioneer in the service parts planning space in the 90s. Since it was renamed Xelus in 2001, the core company underwent four changes of ownership, cobbled together a variety of dated technologies, and saw a significant reduction in market share…"

MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 Review by Points In Focus
V. J. Franke at Points In Focus has written a lengthy review of the PocketWizard MiniTT1 and FlexTT5. We always love to read accounts of folks using our products, and Franke's review is no exception. Concepts are clearly explained and the review was even recently updated to include Nikon information. Here's the original first paragraph:
"To be honest, I think LPA Design's Control TL Pocket Wizard system is the best thing since sliced bread, or maybe even better than that, I'm not sure."
We agree, V.J.! Thank you.
