niet zo heel lang geleden werden we benaderd door een van de producenten van de belgisch/nederlandse [eigenlijk gewoonweg internationale] co-productie van 'Reiki the movie'. een ontzettend leuk initiatief waarbij een grote groep mensen met een relatief heel erg klein budget een zo professioneel mogelijke full length feature gaan schieten in weinig tijd.
daarvoor maken ze gebruik van onze HVX200 met lichtset, geluidsset en meer. uiteindelijk een hele auto vol apparatuur. nu zijn we heel benieuwd hoe dat er uit gaat zien..
Invite-AV sponsort wederom een ontzettend leuk project in de vorm van de avondvullende film van regisseur Pedro Chaves die samen met een enthousiaste ploeg mensen met heel weinig geld heel veel in heel weinig tijd op film [HD-Video] gaat zetten doormiddel van onze RedRockMicro M2 35 MM adapter. klik op de link om naar de officiele site van reiki the movie te gaan of lees hieronder de samenvatting.
During the Inquisition, Tomàs de Torquemada, created "The Order", a special section of the Church that had to stop the reincarnations of witches through the ages.
To stop the reincarnation of a witch, they would have to kill the witch using the sword "Reiki". By striking a witch with "Reiki", their chances of reincarnation would be annihilated, and a fatal death would take place.
Since, the "Reisha" incident during 1603, the sword Reiki disapeared from the face of the earth, and since then, members of the Order and witches are on a war through the centuries.
The story starts, when Vann wakes up in an abandonned place, after a nightmare of him during 1603. Unfortunatly he isn't able to remember anything except his name and some flashbacks. With him is Hansel, a man having the same symptoms as Vann. Both men, seem to have a feeling of déjà-vu and a new friendship starts!
Deciding to find out their whereabouts both men leave on exploration. During their exploration, they rescue a woman, Reisha, that was being hunted down by five men: Marcus, Gin, Ant, Kino and Glass, all five members of the Order.
Vann and Hansel being gentlemen, decide to rescue Reisha, and kill Ant in the process. Weirdly enough, Ant comes back to life after a few seconds, this time trying to kill his old friends. Taking their chance, Vann and the rest manage to escape while Marcus, Gin, Glass and Kino finish Ant off.
In the meanwhile, Vann and Hansel are getting more flashbacks of Vann escaping with Reisha in 1603. And their friendship together.
Soon they get caught up by Kino, that goes mano to mano with Vann, while Hansel and Reisha run away to take cover. In the meanwhile, Marcus, Glass and Gin, are searching the place for Reisha when suddenly the dead rise back to life, surrounding Marcus and his group, but also Hansel, Reisha, and drawing the attention of Vann and Kino to this major battle.
During this battle, they all manage to defeat the living dead. It turns out, the place they are is a witch graveyard since the existence of the Order. And the powers of a witch seemed to have awaken the place.
Unfortunatly during this chaos, Vann manages to flee with Reisha but loses Hansel, who goes a separate way. Hansel finds himself lost, struggling with his memories. Memories of Vann, Reisha, and a man in a black cloak. When, he is suddenly stopped by two men from the Order.
Vann in the meanwhile interrogates Reisha about what exactly is happening. Reisha, tell Vann about the Order, but stays quite elusive on the matter.
Continuing their search Marcus and his party, are stopped by their boss, a man in a black cloak and his two underlings Elijah and Isaiah.
Now Vann and Reisha find themselves hunted again, but this time by Elijah and Isaiha, who Vann manages to defeat after a difficult and tiresome fight.
Vann's flashbacks get worse by the moment, he starts to remember Reisha's death, a man in a cloak. When, they are suddenly surrounded by a man in a black cloak and the whole party.
But who is this man? That's up for you to find out in Reiki The Movie.

By Staff Writer | May 01, 2007 at 08:00 PM
In two months' time, a committee of 14 scientists, bankers, environmentalists and regulators is slated to deliver a report that will set the tone for future rules on greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. The Market Advisory Committee (MAC) was called into being last September, when California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law a bill that commits the state to cut greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020–the first law of its kind in the U.S. As required by the new law, California's environmental officials assembled the panel to work out how the state could deliver on its new obligations, which are expected to amount to roughly a 25% cut in emissions.
The committee is unelected. It has no regulatory authority of its own. But these 12 men and two women find themselves in a position of influence at what could come to be seen as an historic turning point in the planet's struggle to reverse the course of global warming.What that panel tells the state when it delivers its report on June 30 should define the regulatory framework that California adopts–and, as the first framework of its kind in the U.S., its influence could reach all the way to Washington, says Winston Hickox, the MAC's chair. "It's a tight time frame, but we can do it. And if the quality of the work is sufficient, there's a chance that it could end up benefiting deliberations in Congress about how to construct a national program."

Runway USA
A pilot's guide to destination cities in Flight Simulator
Halfway to the Stars
Now that you've had your maiden flight aboard the STAR disk, let's head back to our home airport, San Jose. As I said in the last chapter, we'll always go back to where we came from when flying the San Francisco Bay area. That way you'll get very familiar with all the geography and scenery that's out here, and still have a place to stay for the night. Sometimes we'll fly a triangle and make an extra landing or so, but our ultimate destination will invariably be that neat little airport at the junction of U.S. 101 (also known as the Bayshore Freeway) and U.S. 17 (also known as the Nimitz Freeway).
Speaking of triangles, we'll take a roundabout route back to San Jose this morning, first flying northeast to look at some features of the shoreline on this side of the bay. You can see one of them now, San Bruno Mountain.
The runway numbers here at Half Moon International (actually, this airport is northwest of the town of Half Moon Bay, on a little stretch of land called Pillar Point) are the same as at San Jose Airport. The wind hasn't shifted, so our takeoff is on Runway 12.
Taxi over to the threshold, turn upwind, and take off.
As soon as you have 500 feet of altitude, execute a left turn to head approximately due north, or toward the center portion of San Bruno Mountain.
In this case, we want to cruise over the top of the mountain, so continue climbing at about 500 FPM. The highway cutting across your course and skirting San Bruno is Interstate 280. On the other side of the mountain it joins up with the Bayshore Freeway, U.S. 101.
You will be about over Pacifica now, which is off to your left, approximately opposite San Francisco International Airport. You'll be able to see the airport out the right side window immediately after the disk access.
You're also flying over the San Andreas rift zone.
Level off at 2500 feet. You're well clear of the summit of San Bruno. And now you can see U.S. 101 running along the bayshore and begin to make out the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
As you come up on the mountain, look out the right side window for an excellent view of San Francisco International Airport's runways, and of the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge.
But speaking of views, be ready for a breathtaker, signalled by another disk access.
Now the heart of San Francisco lies spread before you, from the foot of San Bruno Mountain to the Golden Gate.
There's no way you can take in all of this scene, which stretches left and right as well as ahead of you, on a single fly-over. We'll do some more, but now pay attention to the downtown area, which lies north of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. The main street, beyond which the buildings are clustered, is Market Street. You're aimed over Union Square, north of which is Chinatown, and then Nob Hill and its famous hotels. The colorful, clanging cable cars operate in the general area you're flying toward, with one of the terminals at the foot of Market Street.
The patch of green in the bay north of the Bay Bridge (short for the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge) is Treasure Island, a naval station. Just opposite Treasure Island is Fisherman's Wharf, the base for San Francisco's commercial fishing fleet, and famous too for its seafood restaurants. We'll see more of the wharf as we get closer.
Just before the Bay Bridge disappears off the right side of your screen, turn and fly toward it. You'll see that there's another island below Treasure Island and under the bridge. This is Yerba Buena Island, and Yerba Buena is what San Francisco was called when it was founded in 1776. The city originally consisted of a Spanish presidio, or fort, and a mission, both of which still stand today.
You can see the slips of Fisherman's Wharf beginning at the foot of Market Street.
Turn to fly a bit to the right of the bridge now, and back off your power to lose some altitude. Watch for Treasure Island to pass by out the left side window, then circle around to head over it and toward Fisherman's Wharf. Use radar to keep a check on your position and progress, and line up with the foot of Market Street.
Level off at 1000 feet. Be sure to take a look at the downtown buildings off to your right as you pass them. (Just look—don't touch.)
At some point you'll see the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge in the distance. When you're beyond the immediate building cluster, turn right and aim toward the far side of the bridge.
That's Mt. Tamalpais in the background, and just across the bridge is the continuation of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which begins on the San Francisco side.
When the bridge disappears off the bottom of your windshield, circle right and roll out on a heading of about 90 degrees, or whatever heading puts a little island in the center of your windshield. It's a famous little island—Alcatraz—once one of the most notorious of U.S. prisons, and home sweet home for Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly, and Burt Lancaster, when he starred as Robert Stroud, the "Birdman of Alcatraz." The prison is abandoned now, and tours of it depart by ferry near Fisherman's Wharf.
Now point for the San Francisco side of the Bay Bridge, and make one more pass of Fisherman's Wharf.
Meanwhile, tune your NAV to San Jose VOR, 114.1, and after you pass over the bridge, start a climb to 2000 feet and take up the heading indicated by your OBI needle, which likely is within a degree or so of 124 degrees.
Take a look at the runways of Nimitz Field out the left side window as you go.
After the disk access, you'll see Metropolitan Oakland International Airport out the same side, with one of its strips (11/29) looking as if it's floating in the bay; of course, it isn't, as another disk access in a moment will show you. That's a pretty airport, and we'll fly there one day soon.
Out front now is the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, and as you get close to it, you'll probably spot Hayward Air Terminal out your left window.
The next airstrip checkpoint is San Carlos, to your right. Just this side of it is Marine World Africa U.S.A., on the edge of the water.
There'll likely be two disk accesses in a row, then Dumbarton Bridge materializes off to the right of your windshield, with Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct nicely simulated just south of it (the black line). You will always be able to identify Dumbarton Bridge, thanks to the companion aqueduct, which reaches east all the way to Yosemite National Park and the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir.
Just south of Hetch Hetchy, and visible out the right side window, is Palo Alto Airport. Then, the last airport checkpoint as you head home is Moffett Field Naval Air Station, with its parallel runways, off to your right.
However, you can already make out San Jose Municipal Airport ahead and even the county fairgrounds beyond it. The ease of distinguishing your home airport so far out is one more reason I think you'll want to adopt it as your own.
The two streams you see are Coyote Creek (on the left) and the Guadalupe River. The metropolitan area to your right is Santa Clara, and the highway is U.S. 101. Remember that U.S. 101 tracks the western shoreline of San Francisco Bay and leads directly—if you were to follow it north—to four major area airports. In order, the airports are Moffett NAS, Palo Alto, San Carlos, and San Francisco International. When you really get to know this area, you will rarely unfold your chart.
Just before the Guadalupe slips away under your nose, you'll pass over the outer marker of the San Jose ILS. You'll know when, because it'll beep away at you even though you're not tuned to the ILS frequency (which can be kind of annoying, but you have no way to shut it off). Your engine sound—but not, fortunately, your engine—stops, and you might think you're in a Pause configuration. But you're not, and your airplane is still flying, so you keep flying, too.
This is a good point to make the transition to slowflight for your approach, which will be straight in for Runway 12L. Remember, that's the second-largest runway, and the left-most of the three parallel strips. The middle and largest, 12R, is used by the big planes and also for ILS approaches by all planes. The smallest strip (the farthest right when approaching from this direction) is Runway 11, unlighted at night and thus just for small planes operating in daylight hours. We'll land on both Runways 11 and 12R before we're finished with our Bay Area overview.
There'll be a disk access as you approach, and the runways will look like buildings until they take on some specific dimension. But they're all there is on this side of the highway, U.S.17, which stretches across your windshield.
The first approach one makes to any strip, particularly in the simulator, is unlikely to be the best. Distances are difficult to judge, and the chances of overshooting—or undershooting and having to drag it in—are high. When you've made a number of approaches and landings, under differing conditions, you'll know more precisely how to line up, and when and how fast to let down. That's another beautiful aspect of having a specific airport to come back to.
The middle marker squawker will further rouse you from your somnolence. Just for reference, right at this moment my altitude is 500 feet, my heading is 122 degrees, and—visually, at least—I'm lined up on the money.
I'm extending all my flaps.
Here on the ground, I was a bit to the right of Runway 11 and had to correct rather abruptly to the left. But that's the kind of illusions simulator runways give you. When I said I was on the money a couple of paragraphs ago, that was the truth, as far as I could see. But when I got a bit closer, the perspective shifted to the left. One thing, however, is for sure: Runway 11 bears exactly 122 degrees. You can always check things like this by reference to radar: Taxi to the center of the strip in question, then seesaw if you have to until the runway and its centerline form perfectly straight lines. The heading you read out then is the true compass heading of the runway.

The MassCUE Influence and Advocacy Committee is planning an event at the MassCUE/MASS Conference at Gillette Stadium in the third week of October 2018…I have organized a panel to follow Steve Vinter's presentation about how he organized the group and gained momentum for CS in MA schools.
The resident physicist has always maintained the view expressed in this article. Physics Should Be First in HSs. In fact, his response on reading it was: "I understood physics better than my High School teacher did. That encouraged me to become a physicist." In addition this was presented at Alan November's conference…which I unfortunately had to miss because I was in DC for a meeting of ASCD leaders!
Public school employees cannot lobby…I used to say when I went to the State House that I was "educating" legislators…I still feel that is a noble service.
I left this document with the aide of the Chair of the Joint Committee on Education: Testimony 3_7_16 about the Common Core and MA's relationship.
For many years ASCD refused to engage in any advocacy. The fear was that with such a large and diverse membership, they might adopt a position which would be anathema to some of the constituents.
Shark Tank, the television show that provides a stage for entrepreneurs looking for support, featured STEM. Now we know the issue of STEM education has become important!
A college student reviewing this website, found two broken links for which I thank her, and asked if two organizations she has volunteered with could be listed. These are health related organization which are "lobbying" people to change bad health habits. Since girls often go into the health related fields when they consider STEM careers, it seems worthwhile to include them here: QuitDay.org, who has a great guide on quitting smoking for IT professionals (https://quitday.org/support/it-professionals-health/) and the American Lung Association, who also supports quitting for health benefits (http://lung.org/). The link to their home page is https://quitday.org/ Also check out https://quitsmokingcommunity.org.
Thinking about advocacy reminded me of The Conference for High Schools: Thinking About Tomorrow: Taking The Next Steps, organized by EDCO, MASCD, MSSAA and The Regional Lab with the help of Apple (which lent us 35 Powerbooks–some brought in from other states so we could capture each team's metaphors, scenarios, concept papers, flow charts–however the learning could be captured) on September 30 to October 2, 1993. to help high schools think about how to organize themselves to use technology appropriately and effectively. This was around the time when I was working with the president of MITRE Corporation, Barry Horowitz. Stephanie Pace Marshall, president of ASCD and ED of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in Aurora, IL, was a speaker.
I still have a 4 inch 3 ring binder with a copy of all the materials we prepared. At the top of the concept paper I am pretty sure I drafted, is a quotation whose origins I need to look up: "We cannot add wings to a caterpillar and get a butterfly." That metaphor inspired the drawing on the cover of the program which also stated "the emergence of a New Partnership Paradigm." That idea came from Acton-Boxborough's (my then Superintendency although planning started when I was in Easton) Faculty Externship program…another story for another time.
I also remembered but could not locate the first MASS position paper on Charter Schools. I was the lead writer and had forgotten that a couple of colleagues from 1994, whom I still see today, were members of the committee which wrote the paper. It is far more complex than I recalled. I thank the staff at MASS for locating and mailing me a hard copy and the Vice President of IKZAdvisors for scanning it: Charter Schools and their impact on the other public schools.
The work in Iowa is extremely rewarding. This was published in the April 18, 2015 issue of the STEM Connector's Daily: STEM Council Awards Scale Up Programs Across Iowa.
The MA Governor's STEM Advisory Council sent a letter re STEM support to the Legislature signed by the members to solicit support for the pipeline fund.
I had the opportunity to attend the hearing at the State House in front of the Senate Committee on Bonding, Capital Expenditures and State Assets, The Honorable Brian Joyce, Chairman. Although I could not remain to testify orally, I did leave the attached testimony with the Committee. The bill provides bonded revenue for schools to update their technology infrastructure.
At the meeting sponsored by the MBAE at Microsoft in Cambridge on March 24, 2014, Michael Barber presented a report he and a colleague conducted for the MBAE which called for a new reform agenda. The report made the national scene in Education Week, April 2 edition,Despite Lofty Scores, Massachusetts Advised to Set New Ed. Goals.
At the meeting of the Board of Directors of MassCUE on 9/27/13, the issue of the reauthorization of the e-rate was raised. With the help of ISTE, MassCUE spent time at the State House and received acknowledgment and support.
BEST (Business and Education for Schools and Technology) admired Maine's one to one initiative. Many of us visited in the early days and then tried to convince MA to follow suit. Now there is a multi-state movement. What a good idea. Ed Week featured this story, ME Leading Initiative_Multistate Tech Buys, in the March 13, 2013 edition.
But about BEST, the website that was developed can now be viewed from this website's splash page. It is the last link in the right hand column.
At the MA Technology Leadership Council meeting on March 12, 2013, Kelly Powers and her students and colleagues made an effective plea to the Governor.
The Working Group for Educator Excellence (WGEE) through its committee called IDEA (Information, Dissemination, Education, Advocacy) is working on enabling legislation that is being proposed in May 2013, led by Senator Hariette Chandler.


Agricultural expansion has resulted in loss of natural habitats worldwide, threatening remnant populations and communities. However, during the past several centuries in much of Europe and eastern North America, extensive forest clearance (usually resulting in <20% forest cover) has been followed by widespread expansion of forest onto abandoned agricultural land. Since ancient forests (those remaining at the peak of forest loss) provide seed sources for recolonization of recent (post-agricultural) forests, the extent of forest loss should influence the rate of population recovery in recent forest. Data compiled from the literature for 10 regions of Europe and North America indicate that the proportion of ancient forest in a landscape can account for >65% of the variation in species diversity of "ancient forest herbs" in recent forests relative to ancient forests. This result suggests that ancient-forest loss has had a strong influence on the recovery of herbaceous plant diversity in post-agricultural forests. In addition, a simple mainland-island metapopulation model suggests that with increasing severity of habitat loss the return time to equilibrium patch occupancy in recent forests is greatly extended, perhaps for centuries after forest clearance has ceased and restoration begun.

Skaledale Police Box

I have just purchased one to go on my module.
On a small kids layout I'm making I'm going to use it as a Tardis. (I wonder how many will do so!) I'm slightly disappointed that Hornby haven't been able to model the spacious interior which would have been prototypical but maybe Roco will one day!
Black Tree Designs http://www.black-tree-design.com/main.php?...p;shp=&tot=
do 28mm (close enough for me) models of Dr Who figures so I thought a few Daleks plus the good Dr and an assistant. I'll have to spend a bit of time choosing which Dr and even more time the assistant! It doesn't look like they've modelled Billie yet!
I think scenes like that draw a good smile from onlookers. Do you?

QUOTE On a small kids layout I'm making I'm going to use it as a Tardis. (I wonder how many will do so!)
I've been doing this with the Harburn Hobbies one for the last five years.
It draws interest the first time someone sees it, but rarely after. What I do now is move it around the layout so I have a spot the Tardis thing going. Busch have a flying saucer you could use with it. However I'm holding our for Sea Devils!
DWDEAL4 Doctor Who complete Set £1050 (12 monthly payments of £87.50) is a bit heavy though
I wonder what came first, the period police box or the Tardis.
Hornby have now secured the rights from the BBC to manufacture plastic Airfix kits of the Tardis from the Dr Who series. I wonder if this came about from them asking for permission to build the police box for the Skaledale range?
Watch out for kits this Christmas with flashing lights and all. The first Airfix kit to incorporate electronics.

That's actually a very good question bearing in mind that over the years the Doctor has travelled from the big bang to the end of the universe. So if that's the case the TARDIS predates the police box by several millenia. However, the Doctor disguised the TARDIS to look like a police box back in the 1960's so it would blend in with its local surroundings. It then got stuck in that guise as it's chameleon circuits failed and they have never been repaired. It therefore follows that the police could have in fact modelled the police box on the TARDIS external design which was then seen by the Doctor who decided to use the design to disguise the TARDIS..............................

And you actually saw it?!!
It maybe of interest, that Harburn Hobbies make two types of police box - one is standard (red) and the other dark blue) dedicated to the City of Edinburgh. Harburn inquired as to my preference when I ordered a police box.
one facet of the old police box (I rememebr them!!!) that puzzled me... was, why such a big box, when the telephone was on the OUTSIDE?.

Likewise I remember the police boxes, but surely there were two types the open fronted and the TARDIS type, which of course has become better known due to it's TV connection.
Incidentally I have a kit to build for mine - the intention is to have a blue flashing LED on the roof and a pulsing white light inside. (It may even get the whoosh whoosh sound effect)

The telephone was accessible from outside for the public to use it to summon assistance. The main use of the boxes was to enable the (foot) patrolling policeman to contact his station at intervals. He needed a tabletop in the dry to write down whatever new information was passed to him - and the police prefered to do this in private because of the confidentiality of some of the info. Likewise if the station wanted to pass on urgent information (no personal radios then, of course) they could trigger the flashing light to let the passing copper know that he should contact them. And they gave shelter in bad weather as well, not that the police were expected to hang around for very long, of course.
The coming of personal radios signalled the end of the boxes, particularly when most patrolling was also moved to motor vehicles.
Just a little more info' on Police Boxes (they also had Police Telephones, as I recall, about the same height a a Pillar Box) - they were always positioned so that they could be seen from a distance - like on a crossroads.
Then again you had Policemen that actually patrolled on foot or pushbike (& on their own as well).

Do you know what scale they'll be Doug? 1:72 perhaps?
QUOTE (double00 @ 1 Aug 2007, 22:54) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
They actually do three, there is the Tardis type plus the Edinburgh ones. The Edinburgh ones being a slightly larger than the Tardis type. The red ones are the same as the Edinburgh ones but are in their current Coffee kiosk garb. Very nice they are too.

I recall that the Police telephones often seemed to be sited near junctions where the police controlled traffic, either full-time or during rush-hours. I assume they didn't use boxes because either there wasn't room or they might have obscured the view of one road from another at the junction.
I have both Hornby and Harburn Hobbies police boxes in 4mm 1:76 gauge.
