His father, the son of a repatriated former American slave, was able to provide a private education for his children at a school he established on his prosperous plantation. In the summer of 1889 young Solomon Fuller left home to return to the country where his grandfather had once been held in bondage. He sought higher education at Livingstone College in Salisbury, North Carolina, a college for black students founded ten years earlier.
Fuller graduated from Livingstone in 1893 with an AB and proceeded to pursue a medical degree at Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. After one year he transferred to Boston University School of Medicine, where he received an MD in 1897 Although he was deeply disturbed ...

This is the shortest hole on the course and provides a great chance for birdie but a missed shot brings bogey or double into the picture quickly. The green slopes severely from back left to front right. The best chance for birdie will come from a shot struck the right distance and kept right of the pin. Shots missed left edge of the green will kick onto the green and roll to the right side. Shots missed left of the green will bring two bunkers into play and a plateau above the green. This will leave the golfer with a downhill chip to a green that slopes away.

BAD FENGSHUI – LONGYAN INTERNATIONAL PARK – BEIJING A-
March 18, 2016 burbex	3 Comments
When it comes to urbexing in Beijing, or indeed anywhere in the world, there are certain features that urbexers search for. Some people go for the tunnels, some people go for the high places, others like a place with a good story. When you can find a site which combines all of these features and more, that's when you know you have found a classic site.
Longyun International Park has all of these features and more. Burbex stumbled across this site by chance. Passing in a taxi from the airport, the top of a dome poked its way into the smoggy sky begging to be explored.
Scouting the outside perimeter there are Communist slogans encouraging citizens to be "civilised" and make Beijing a "centre of development". Burbex took a knife to one of the slogans and cut his way through to the other side.
Plunging into the darkness beyond, underground canals snake their way hundreds of metres forward. Faint glints of light barely seen in the pitch black.
The frozen canals meander from left to right, and along the way there are plenty of unusual water features to be taken in. Small flags warn of the water's edge like flashes of colour at the village fete.
Getting lost is inevitable in this underground labyrinth. Tunnels weave off in all directions, and circle around and around in circles. Only the lucky will find the Tiffany roofed exits.
These are the most heavily guarded areas though, and the security guards shout down curses at intruders but do not dare penetrate the labyrinth.
The inner dome is a smaller version of the first, and does not have the balconies or the grandeur of its big brother. It feels no less dangerous though.
The mouth of the canal leads out into a half-completed Suzhou style water garden. Missing the colour of flowers and trees, it is just a cement garden. From here though, the villas and the upper areas can be accessed.
Entering through the glassless windows, the villas are easily accessed. Running up the stairs and through unlocked doors, the rooftop dome yawns at the sky.
The beginning of this post mentioned a good story behind this location. According to local taxi drivers, it was shut down because of the death of several workers on the site. Due to this the Fengshui is now considered too bad to continue. This is a curse for construction companies who cannot battle against the entrenched superstition in China.
This is very similar to Chaoyang 81, which has remained empty for decades simply because of its ghostly reputation. Probably this site will be left to rot until it becomes too dangerous or too much of an eyesore for the local government to stand.
In retrospect this is the only site that has ever given Burbex nightmares, so maybe its ghostly reputation is true. Whatever the case, with or without ghosts, this is a first class site for urban exploration and earns a solid A-.
Don't forget that no matter what your taste, from industrial sites like Jiaohua Chemical Works, to tall places like Guosen Towers, or ghostly locations like The Nationalist Hotel, or Chaoyang 81, Burbex is only an email away ready to help you on your way.

THE BACK LOT – BEIJING FILM ACADEMY – GRADE B-
March 9, 2016 burbex	Leave a comment
Sometimes you get the feeling that the only urbex sites in Beijing are huge industrial sites like Jiaohua and Capital Steel, or projects that have been abandoned halfway and left to rot like Guoson Mall and Sunshine Park. Sometimes what the Beijing urbexer needs is a little bit of nostalgia to add to the diet of rebar and concrete. That's where Beijing Film Academy steps in.
In Beijing one of the characters that the urbexer is always looking for is 拆 which means to cut down or demolish. This character is often painted on buildings slated for demolition. The buildings may remain for years without anything happening. You can see the character painted on both sides of the back lot gate in the picture below.
Once over the wall and safely in the lot, there is the feeling of a one-horse cowboy movie, you're always expecting a Chinese John Wayne to stride through the Chinese-style gate and challenge some dupe to a shootout at midday.
The only heroes here are the dogs who will follow you everywhere around the site. They are a strange breed of mutt specially designed to make as much noise as possible, while at the same time attracting nobody's attention.
Hidden in the back lots are props of warriors and buddhas left over from older productions. There is a strong sense of China's histories overlapping and blending on the lots which is probably not that far from reality.
Some areas of the lot are burned down or have fallen into serious disrepair. Alleyways lead from more modern hutong scenes into ancient China.
China's own Last Chance Saloon contains tonnes of props and relics from the height of the movie age.
Climbing up to the roof of the studio, you can get a great overview of the entire site. Be very careful though, the concrete balcony is crumbling and it is three floors down.
You don't really realise the scale of the site until you get up on top. The main studio is all locked up. That calls for another midnight trip.
The site combines Western and Eastern styles, probably as was seen in Shanghai in the nineteenth and twentieth century.
Huge lot doors are overgrown with tumbleweeds and thick Beijing dust chokes the air.
In a hidden garden Laughing Buddha overlooks an army of plaster soldiers and demi-gods.
There are myriad doors and gates to get lost in, and the whole place has a strong sense of the film Labyrinth with its grey bricks and twisting turns.
With all this in mind, Beijing Film Academy is a perfect slice of nostalgia from a mixture of Chinese eras that never existed. It confuses the senses, and as the sun sets you are left feeling even more confused.
For these reason Burbex awards Beijing Film Academy with a B+ grade. If you would like to come along and see the site for yourself, please get in touch at burbex@outlook.com.

CHAOYANG PARK FERRIS WHEEL – GRADE A*
"Sites that change with the seasons, those are the ones that you will never get bored with."
Urbex is ephemeral. Some sites the urbexer will go to once or twice, and then returning they will find it demolished or gentrified. Capital Steel is in the process of being eaten alive by demolition crews, the Space and Science Museum is being pulled apart brick by brick, and the ghosts have been evicted from the Haunted Nationalist Hotel.
There remains only one place that is immune to demolition. A site so invisible and so forgotten that it has become part of the landscape. That site is The Chaoyang Park Ferris Wheel. Started in 2007, the ferris wheel was slated to be one of the tallest in Asia and would've provided first class views of the Olympic Volley Ball court, as well as the rest of the city.
Inevitably, the project ran out of funding and was shut down just after the foundations had been finished. That might be a disappointment for some, but for the urbexer this site presents an ever-changing underground landscape. In the summer, the site is almost impossible to get into. In the winter, when all the weeds have died off, the site is a cinch.
From above, the site looks a lot like a concrete skull. To enter into the flooded cranium of the site, the urbexer has to go in through the mouth of the skull. In October, the place was still flooded, but in the winter, the underground water turns to solid ice making it much easier to go into.
Underground lies a flooded maze of underground chambers where even the sound of your own breathing echoes into the shadows. Some corners are black as pitch and a heavy-duty torch is required. Further in, stairs and struts snake their way up to the limited daylight. This is the way the urbexer must follow.
Breaking out into the sunshine, the magpies who have colonised the place, shriek and say, "Get out of here, I was here first!" But as Burbex's lucky bird, Burbex does not worry about the birds. Huge struts and other structures reach for the sky, and beg the urbexer to scale their rusty poles. From the top, the view is so vast that you cannot get a good shot of the whole site.
Once, you have escaped from the site, and are in the wilderness which surrounds it, the urbexer can find relics hidden in the brown sticky grass which rips at your clothes and whose fork-like seeds bury themselves in your clothes and shoelaces.
There are rusting sea cucumbers hidden in the yellow grass, like lego bricks hidden in a shag-pile carpet. These are the struts that never made it to the main sites. This place is a huge site, and probably one of the most beautiful in Beijing.
If the urbexer is looking for a grander scale, and their favourite colour is rust brown against an almost blue sky, this is the place to come. For all these reasons and more, Chao Yang Park Ferris Wheel is getting an honourable mention and with it a A* grade.
If you are interested in visiting Chaoyang Park Ferris Wheel, or any of the other great sites, like The Floating Dragon Lake Amusement Park, which has a finished Ferris Wheel which floats in the breeze, or other incomplete sites like The Guoson Mall Towers, please feel free to drop me a line at burbex@outlook.com.

SUNSHINE JURASSIC PARK – SUNSHINE PARK – BEIJING – GRADE B+
Quote October 30, 2015 burbex 2 Comments
"How would I feel if this place was demolished?"
This is the question that an urbexer frequently will frequently ask themselves.
If you asked me about the Space Museum, which is currently being disassembled brick by brick, or The Nationalist Hotel, which has been half demolished, half gentrified, I would say that I am pretty sad to lose these familiar friends. The question does depend on what is going to take its place.
Sunshine Park is one of my favourite sites in Beijing, mostly because it is so quiet. I was worried when I saw the diggers move in, but then they replaced it with the only possible thing that I could accept… a dinosaur park!
Most of the original site still remains, but slap-bang next to it is a dinosaur centre, which is shaped like a huge dinosaur egg. From the roof of the old site, you can see the robotic dinosaurs roaring and scaring children. It is also only a hop, skip, jump from Ikea. Dinosaurs, Ikea, and urbex, sounds like a great day out.
Inside the original structure, things are much as they were before. The underground parking area is still flooded and deathly quiet. A few strands of weak blue light stream in through the openings in the roof and light up the water below.
The water is only a couple of feet deep and as soon as I find a good pair of wellington boots, I'll wade in and take some water shots. Incidentally, fellow urbexer Misha Mushu and I released some baby turtles into the water last year. Provided the rusty water didn't finish them off, they are probably thriving on the bugs in the water.
Unusually, this place has a lot more graffiti than you see in other places in Beijing. The now easy rear access now that the back wall has been knocked down, gives this place an almost gallery-like feel. Instead of curators there are ornery magpies giving their critiques.
If ever you are in the neighbourhood and fancy a peak at this place, followed by a plate of Swedish meatballs in Ikea, just drop me a line at bubex@outlook.com, and we can set up a time to meet up. Just turn right when you see the T-Rex.

SWISS CHEESY – TONGHUI INTERNATIONAL, BEIJING – GRADE B+
October 30, 2015 burbex	2 Comments
Beijing has its fair share of kitschy European style developments in various states of abandonment (see the Olympic Homko villas), but the Tonghui International Bar Street 通惠国际酒吧街 really takes the biscuit.
Construction on this Swiss-style bar street began in 2010, and was expected to open in 2014. Somewhere towards the end of the timeline, the project was abandoned, and now the town clock chimes to an empty village every hour.
The street itself is based on the Alpine Swiss town of Interlaken, and as well as the charismatic design of the street, the development also boasts 18,000 square metres of underground shopping space.
You can check out some of the original designs do the complex at Su Landscape, the company which designed the wooden facades. All of the complex is still completely unoccupied, and gaining access is extremely simple.
One very old security guard sleeps in a fairy tale cottage at the far end of the street (above: right of the green guesthouse).
The best way to move from building to building is either by the tunnels that thread their way under the street, or even better, to jump in and out of windows like a fairy tale goblin or elf.
Unusually, even though the exteriors of the buildings are complete and boast some fantastic and unusual decorations, the interiors are just cement, and none of the buildings have stairs to the first floor.
Apparently, Tonghui International was part of a 400 million yuan project by The Chaoyang Planning Commission, trying to invigorate business close to Guomao, the economic centre of Beijing.
Whatever the case, the project is dead now, and the street and underground shopping mall both lie dormant.
A metal fence surrounds the street, and in the front yard there is a bronze horse and cart created in 2008 according to the date on the horse's rump.
With its easy access and fairy tale weirdness, Tonghui International Bar Street gets a B+ from Burbex.
By the way, if you loved this great leisure site, be sure to check out these other great urbex sites in Beijing, like Floating Dragon Lake Amusement Park, and The Great Mall of China in neighbouring Hebei.
Of course if you want to come along, just drop me a line, and don't forget to bring your Swiss cheese. I hope you know how to yodel.

CHUTE FOR THE STARS – DALIAN – GRADE A*
September 24, 2015 burbex	2 Comments
A bit further afield for this Burbex, Dalian is a coastal city in the North East of China. Hidden at the end of the one of the most popular beaches in the city, is this hidden gem, the ultimate in Urbex chic, that's right, it's an abandoned waterpark. Not only that, but it has a huge faux-mansion beside it.
There's more than one way to kill a cat, an electric cable through the gut is pretty novel though.
To escape, you must pass a festering sewage outlet. It smells much worse than it looks.
What? You want to see more? The whole set is here. Also for other great leisure sites check out Floating Dragon Amusement Park and The Great Mall of China.
Don't forget that if you ever want to come to Beijing and see one of these great locations, just drop me a line on burbex@outlook.com, or leave a comment in the box below. Don't forget to bring your goggles and swimsuit!

CAPITAL STEEL – STEEL LABORATORY – GRADE B+
Gallery September 7, 2015 burbex 6 Comments
How many times have I been to Capital Steel, and how many times have I found new areas to explore. This latest trip was a bonanza of new finds.
Along with entering the lofts where coal was moved along on mile-long conveyor belts, co-explorer Vom and I went further into the plant than ever, coming clear out of the other side where the cooling towers are located.
Along the way we found the laboratory where we found everything pretty much as the scientists had left it on the last day. So many bottles, flasks and crazy machines.
Unfortunately, Vom got a touch of heat stroke, and threw up (hence the nickname), but are adventures have seen the whole plant covered now.
In the cool and shady labs, mosquitoes buzzed in circles while we investigates rooms ransacked by looters.
Plus there was enough lab equipment and machines left over to make even Walter White happy.
Most of the chemicals have either dried up or grown out of their bottles and onto the work surfaces.
The other part of the factory that was new to us, was the conveyor lofts which stretch across the complex.
These are covered in a thick layer of coal dust. In the operator's room there still remains an old bag of sugar and a plastic spoon.
Oil sticks to all the surfaces, and then catkins stick to the oil, so everything has a tarred and feathered look.
But from atop the machines there is some beautiful symmetry to be found.
Capital Steel Laboratory – we salute you – Burbex is giving you a solid Grade A, but with the heatstroke comes an important reminder to take candy and water with you when you go urbexing.
Of course, if any time you want to come urbexing with me, just leave a message on burbex@outlook.com and we can arrange a time, make sure you bring a sick bag though.

GREAT MALL OF CHINA – YANJIAO – GRADE A-
January 14, 2015 burbex	4 Comments
On the smoggy outskirts of Beijing, far beyond where the subway line finally ends, and the dust dunes roll over the border into Hebei Province, right there on the border, that is where you will find the Great Mall of China.
Construction started five/six years ago when the small border town Yanjiao was slated to become the next border boom town. This led to a run on house building and general craziness in the area.
Years later, these dreams never came true, and the town, like the Great Mall of China, is deserted.
Getting into the mall is quite simple: find the tunnel under the nearby hospital…
go through it in the dark…
emerge and find the pipe under the bullet train railway…
go through the tunnel…
walk down the causeway and you are in.
While there is security, and by the sound of it heavy work going on, the place is virtually empty, and the two guys on the roof didn't even pay any attention to me.
There is a vast underground complex of tunnels full of dust and supplies, but no workers to be seen.
Welding lights can be seen in the very distance at the end of the tunnels, and there is the occasional crash of metal on metal, but still no sign of people.
There are various tunnels that weave under the complex, and probably under the hospital too.
The blind bear stands on the road marking the way out. Be careful, there is a man who sells guard dogs nearby.

OLYMPIC HOMKO GHOST TOWN – BEIJING – GRADE B+
Image January 5, 2015 burbex 5 Comments
Located in the green leafy area of Olympic Park in northwest Beijing, this beautiful ghost village was originally built to house the athletes and some of the staff for the Olympic Games back in 2008.
Unfortunately, half way through the construction, enough athletes said that the air quality in central Beijing was so poor, that they would stay outside the city. As a result, this place has been left to rot.
Twice I have fallen through the poorly constructed concrete floors into the flooded basements beneath. This is just such a perfect slice of eeriness urbexers should make this site a priority.
There are a couple of security guards on the main gate, but people always manage to hop over the fence at the back for a quick peek. Be careful entering the houses though.
Every villa seems to have its own style and ambience. Each has its own fireplace. This one looks like the one in Beetlejuice.
The clubhouse has quite a large swimming pool topped with a dome. The day I went a kitten could be heard mewing loudly, probably stuck in one of the pipes somewhere.
The streets are long overgrown and weeds and small trees break through the cheap concrete. All that is missing is a tumbleweed.
Here is the naked lady of the park, with the Olympic Park in the background. She looks a bit lonely, maybe you should pay her a visit.
This is an eerie place to visit, so make sure you go on a sunny day. Seeing that there is so much to see here, and also because it is a semi-Olympic site, it gets a firm B+ from Burbex.
If you want to come and join me for this or any other site, please just send me a message on burbex@outlook.com and we can arrange a time to meet up.
In the meantime, whet your appetite with some of these other great sites, like Solana Hotel and The Great Mall of China.

Who wants to host the IALE 2021 European Landscape Ecology Congress?
IALE-Europe is launching a call for proposals to host the next IALE European Congress in 2021. The European Congress takes place every four years. In this millennium, already five editions were organised: Stockholm/Tartu (Sweden/Estonia, 2001), Faro (Portugal, 2005), Salzburg (Austria, 2009), Manchester (UK, 2013) and Ghent (Belgium, 2017).
The next European Congress is considered to be organized by (a) national chapter(s) and/or universities, institutions, landscape related networks. Also, countries without a national chapter are very much encouraged, since the organisation will be in close collaboration with IALE-Europe.
We are looking forward to receiving expressions of interest before 15 January 2019 by sending an email to info@iale-europe.eu.
Full proposals have to be submitted in Spring 2019.

Q: Meaning of Capital I with two lines over a set I'm reading the textbook Stochastic Calculus for Finance: Volume I by Steven Shreve, and on page 101 (incase somebody has it on hand) I am unsure of the notation.
There is a I where the top and bottom horizontal lines are connected by two vertical lines, instead of just one.  There is then a subscript saying {τ<=N}, denoting that this mystery operator applies to all tau less than or equal to N.
The I looks very similar to the E meaning expectation and P meaning probability measure, in that there is a doplication of vertical lines to make the letter look hollow.
What is this mystery operator?

A: I what you are asking about in fact is an indicator function. Consider a set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, then the indicator function for the set $A$ as a function of $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$, is defined as
$$
\mathbb{1}_{A}\left(x\right) :=
\begin{cases}
1,\qquad \forall x\in A,\\
0,\qquad \forall x\not\in A.
\end{cases}
$$
This is very useful in many areas of mathematics, and not least within stochastic calculus which is used in financial mathematics.

I really love the act of cookie baking - sometimes even more than the cookie eating.
Perhaps it's because I have an aversion to drinking milk and let's face it - milk is an integral part of the cookie eating experience.
Or maybe it's the mental calorie calculation that goes on in my head that stops me from eating too many cookies. It's a constant battle between: yes, it's worth it and I'll squeeze in extra workout time tomorrow and no, I think I'd rather sleep an extra 15 minutes instead of doing hundreds of sit ups.
There are days though that reason is thrown out the window and I become a cookie eating machine. Baking any cookie with dark chocolate is especially dangerous. (Even without the tall glass of milk.) I can eat an entire batch of warm chocolate chip cookies so quick it would put even cookie monster to shame.
Melt 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips in microwave.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
Beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add melted chocolate and mix until thoroughly combined.
Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended, about 1 minute.
Add flour mixture, mixing just until blended.
Stir in remaining 1 cup morsels.
Using a medium cookie scoop (1 1/2 tablespoons) drop dough 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 12 - 14 minutes until tops have a cracked appearance.
Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.
It makes me so happy to be able to share my cookies with other people. I am very fortunate to be able to bake cookies for so many people and I it brings me joy to know that their are other people who benefit from my cookie baking as well.
