Velherak
Velherak is a new fantasy world in the making, with 100% new races never seen before. Unique Lore, and a new view of magic.

Velherak is a dark world, mostly ruled by the race of man, who named themselves Terranus in honour of their great Warrior God who united them millennia's ago. The world is brimming with children stories, old legends and dark myths, none knows which of them are really true, and which are not.

Fatalized
Fatalized is a thrash metal band which is most notable for it's high quality melodic performance and high pitched guitar distortion. It is heavily influenced by both Metallica and Megadeth, and design wise shares much of the same musical consistency that it's predecessors were originally noted for, such as 4x bar and 8x bar riff repetition, melodic note scaling, and furious count of beats per minute(BPM). Unlike it's pioneering father genre however, Fatalized differs in that they use extreme guitar distortion and heavy echoing effects that is almost akin to sound effects heard in genre's like techno. This could be the main point argued as to what makes the band's music sound most unique. Also, Fatalized seems to indicate that it is much more focused on the musical content provided rather than the lyrical, as most of it's songs currently provided on it's myspace are without lyrics.

The band
Rob Alicki - Guitar, Bass, Keyboard, Drums

Jimmy Alicki - Vocals

You can hear some of their music on Myspace and they have a few songs available for purchase on ITunes.

Scott Burnham
Scott Burnham is a prominent Creative Director and Curator exploring creativity in urban contexts and its applications in contemporary culture. His work often focuses on activity at the edges of architecture, design and creative innovation in Europe, North America and China. Recent projects indicate that his attention is shifting towards introducing open source approaches to creative projects. He represents an extensive network of practitioners and innovators working in this area, and lectures frequently on the subject.

Early career

Burnham’s early work includes projects created and directed for The National Theatre, London, IAC Cultural Programme, Barcelona, The city of Prague, and The Royal Society for British Sculptors, London. In 1999, Burnham created the “UrbanMade” exhibition series, appearing at several galleries in London from 1999-2001, which applied Duchamp’s concept of the readymade (hence the name) to the urban landscape, celebrating the “art created by the city itself”, and the aesthetics produced by the organic forces at work in the city.

In 2002, he applied his organic creativity principle to a number of design-led projects, including serving as Design Director for the innovative Mulberry Design project run by Jude Kelly’s METAL organisation in London.

Recent career

In 2003, he appointed as Creative Director for Urbis in Manchester, UK. While at Urbis he established and directed “Ill Communication”, one of Europe’s largest exhibitions of street art featuring the (then) up and coming talents of Swoon and Os Gemeos, among others. His work at Urbis also includes ‘SuperCity’, a multi-disciplinary collaboration with architect Will Alsop to completely re-think the future of the urban environment; Urban Oasis with Berlin’s Office for Subversive Architecture, and At Home, a project created with designer Peter Saville and displayed on billboards throughout the city of Manchester. Other exhibitions curated by Burnham whilst at Urbis include “D&AD: The Best Advertising and Design in the World”, which was ranked as one of the ‘Top 5’ Exhibitions in 2006 by The Times, and “The China Show” exploring the design, architecture and creativity of contemporary China. Burnham left Urbis in 2006.

In July 2006 Burnham shifted his focus to his ongoing work with Droog Design, Amsterdam. With Droog, he created and developed the Urban Play project, in which urban intervention becomes part of the design process, creating an organic, continually developing series of urban objects and areas.

Most recently, he has been appointed as Creative Director of the 2009 Montreal Biennial, and continues to lecture extensively on creative innovation.

Talks and Lectures

Burnham’s recent talks include a keynote on cultural leadership to the Transforma organisation in Portugal, an open forum on the future of public space in Linz, Austria, the talk “Urban Gaia: The self-curating city” (London Architecture Week), “Open Source Urban” (Cityscape Conference on Urban Design, London) and “The VJ of the Everyday: Physically Remixing the Urban Visual” (University of Manchester - and soon to be published in the book “Visualising the City”, Routledge Press). He has also addressed the International Conference on European Policy, Amsterdam, on innovative creative catalysts, the CulturMed Conference, Catania, Italy, and the city of Amsterdam’s ‘Space for the Creative Economy’ Symposium.

Media Appearances

“An acknowledged media whore”, as he confesses to on his website, Burnham’s work and commentary has been featured on BBC television, The Today Programme, BBC Radio 4, BBC World Service, Sky News, Spain TV1, Design Week, Grafik, The Guardian, The Times, Computer Arts Magazine and The BBC Culture Show, and most recently in journals in Portugal and Austria.

In 2005 he was named as one of Prospect Magazine’s “Power 100” – 100 of the most influential people in the UK, and The Guardian (UK) attributed his work at Urbis as transforming the institution into “an intellectual powerhouse that explores modern urban environments with creative flair”. Some question if the organisation has sustained that accolade since his departure.

He divides his time between residences in London and Montreal.

RS4 Codici
RS4 Codici is a train protection system used in Italy. The term is an abbreviation of Ripetizione Segnali a 4 codici (signal repetition system with 4 codes).

It is a simple cab signalling system, displaying the aspect of the next (and, in some cases, the next but one) signal. It helps the driver to reliably determine the aspect of the next signal even in poor visibility and at high velocities.

The information is conveyed via amplitude modulation of a 50Hz alternating current in the rails. Receiver coils in front of the first axle of a locomotive or control car are used to detect the signal.

The frequency of the modulating signal encodes the signal aspect:
 * 75/min - "Stop"
 * 120/min - "Proceed slow" (30km/h, 60km/h or 100km/h)
 * 180/min - "Caution, next signal at stop or slow" (i.e. the signal the train is approaching is at "Caution" and the next signal after that is at "Stop" or "Proceed slow")
 * 270/min - "Proceed with line speed"

The driver must acknowledge a code change by pressing a button labeled RIC within 3 seconds, otherwise the system will apply emergency brakes.

Metal Gear Solid 5
Although not officially confirmed as yet, Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima stated recently at the Tokyo game show that he plans to retire from the series after the release of Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots. However he also stated jokingly that one of the future plans is to have Masahiro Sakurai (a famed video game creator in Japan) to create the fifth installment to the series. Sakurai is a huge fan of the Metal Gear saga and Hideo Kojima feels that the fifth game would be safe in his hands so regardless of whether Sakurai becomes the producer of Metal Gear Solid 5 he will almost certainly become involved with the future of the series in one way or another. However, since the fourth game isn't due for release till early 2008 all read information is merely specualtion and isn't yet fact. Information on gameplay, story and characters is non-existent at the time of writting but rumours and passed plots indicate that either Gray Fox (Ninja) from Metal Gear Solid or Raiden (Ninja in Metal Gear Solid 4 and main protagonist in Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons Of Liberty) could be potential protagonists in Metal Gear Solid 5 or future Metal Gear titles.

Hideo's Plans: Hideo Kojima won't be leaving the Metal Gear franchise althogether by any means. He stated also at an interview straight after the Tokyo game show that he plans to develop more games including Metal Gear titles specifically for handheld games consoles such as the PSP. He also wishes to push Metal Gear Solid further into the only market and performed a large role in the creation of Metal Gear Online which is based on the game of Metal Gear SOlid 4 and is in BETA testing right now (August-September 2007) but only in Japan.

Doug Smart, CSP
Douglas James Smart, Sr (born January 10, 1955 in New Orleans, La) is an award winning professional speaker.

Doug is an expert at helping individuals and organizations identify and maximize their strengths so they can reach their goals smarter, faster and easier. He is an award winning speaker. Since 1990, he has presented nearly 2,000 programs from London to Luxor to Los Angeles. He is the author/co-author of 25 books. Doug is certified to provide the newest scientifically validated assessment instruments. For 3 years he hosted the motivational radio show, Smarter by the Minute.

In 1998, the National Speakers Association, awarded him their highest earned designation, Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), an honor held by less than 9% of their 4,000 members world-wide.

Doug is the author of numerous articles and has been included in articles in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, and New Orleans Times-Picayune. His podcast, Smarter by the Minute, is available to high achievers in 168 countries.

Prior to starting a consulting and training business, Doug worked in the residential real estate industry for 16 years. He began as a licensed salesman at 21 years old with zero credibility in the business. At that point, he had never owned real estate, yet he attempted to advise people on the biggest purchase of their lives. One of his many challenges in the beginning was that buyers refused to get into his run down, bright yellow car! It took 7 months to make his first sale. But he stuck with it and at age 28, based on his sales success, his trade association recognized him with a Life Membership in the Million Dollar Club. He was their youngest recipient. He later owned and operated one of the largest residential real estate brokerages in his city, giving him practical, hands-on experience in team building, leadership, change management, and communication. The biggest revelation, he says, was the clear insight he got on understanding human behavior. This later lead to his fascination with the newest, most accurate assessment tools. "They take the gamble out," he says.

Before he was 30, Doug owned 25 properties, including a shopping center. After selling his real estate business, he joined the management team at Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate and, later, Latter & Blum Realtors, a company with 500 salespeople. He served as Director of Recruiting where he learned a person's strengths and talents cannot be known simply thorough interviews. "Many people don't know their own strengths and talents," Doug teaches. "If they don't know, how can any boss know the true capabilities of his or her team? That's why the insights and assessment tools I provide are valuable."

Driven to share with others how anyone can find success by maximizing their natural strengths, in 1990, Doug and his wife, Gayle, partnered in starting Smart Business Seminars. This later became Smart Business International as the scope of the business grew. Over the last two decades, Doug and his associates have learned - first hand - some of the best practices from Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, hospitals, factories, associations, and government offices, across North America and around the world. Smart Business International has a wealth of "smarts" to share with your group, too.
