Yesterday, the 9 BFA Fashion Design students from Parsons Paris presented their collections at Palais de Toyko.
The show was opened with performances given by Parsons Paris students, demonstrating the concepts of cutting a piece of fabric 'in the round' and cutting fabric on the 'grain'.
The standard of work was high and the Music was amazing! Check it out:
ALEXANDRA POLLEY
COSMIC SPIRITS
Alexandra's collection explores alternative forms of spirituality through animal spirits, chakras, fetishes, talismans, and healing crystals. She channels the spirit of her homeland, Texas. Wishing to nourish and empower people's belief in magic, dreams, and possibilities, the designer analyzed symbolic meanings of animalistic iconography, minerals, colors, and shapes to create unexpected ensembles. Crystal-inspired structured angles are juxtaposed with flowing, amorphic forms. Interwoven healing crystals for handmade modern fetishes adorn the body to express Alexandra's vision of strength, fragility and energy.
ALEXANDRIA LOZICKI
Alexandria was brought up in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Her inspiration started with a poem by Nayyirah Waheed: I don't pay attention to the world ending, it has ended for me many times, and began again in the morning. This poem evokes the intense feelings experienced by the designer and how she could overcome difficult periods through the use of color and painting. Her collection is a unique combination of prints, colors, volumes, waterproof fabrics, silk chiffon and organza, vinyl, wools and embellishments inspired by her own paintings and drawings.
AYIDA SOLE NAZAIRE
BLACK BODY
Ayida Solé was raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She was taught to be proud of her Haitian heritage despite persisting stereotypes around the Haitian community in the US. The designer states that black women have been historically demonized for their features and curvaceous forms. Her collection aims to change the narrative about the "black body" by enhancing these physical characteristics and giving curves to all women. Finally revealing and concealing some of the most sensual parts of the female body to empower the female form. Ayida Solé collaborated with sculptor Elie Hirsch to design and produce the handmade metallic pieces in her collection.
CHRISTINA BLUM
DAVY JONES LOCKER
Christina was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, and practiced scuba diving from her early childhood in the Cayman Islands, and later became a professional diving instructor. This experience brought her to question the status of women in this industry through a collection that uncovers the dichotomy between underwater and land. References such as Jules Verne, Davy Jones and Jacques-Yves Cousteau nurtured her research and her material explorations around knits, rubber, technical and laser-cut fabrics.
DANIELA ALARCON
Daniela was born and raised in Miami, Florida, with a Hispanic background. Her research focuses on the reinterpretation of everyday objects into sculptural creations, and their wearable variations. The designer experiments with heterogeneous materials and forms to articulate a personal narrative that stems from childhood memories of her father teaching her and her brother to make their own handmade toys using everyday items. The capsule celebrates the feeling of unanticipated joy and excitement that accompanied this playful experience.
ELISABETH BROZ-FRAUENSCHUH
BORN IN THE MOUNTAINS, LIVING IN A CITY
Elisabeth was raised in Austria. She grew up dressed in traditional costumes, fascinated by local myths and tribal rituals practiced in mountainous areas of her native country. Offering her own take on these rituals, she is inspired by her heritage and its similarities with other ancient cultures and beliefs. This creative process results in an wholely contemporary wardrobe. The collection combines couture craftsmanship with ski gear, integrating traditional Austrian fabrics and deerskin from her grandfather's tannery. Beyond the exploration of her own roots, Elisabeth seeks to reawaken the forgotten essence of shared practices of humanity.
ISAIAH CARGILL
Y(OUR) CLOTHES
Isaiah was raised in Miami. His collection stems from an ethnographic research on the gendered practices of dress and appearance and the blurred boundaries of femininity beyond gender differences. The designer questions the contemporary wardrobe in relation to the bodily and sensorial perceptions of ten LGBTQ individuals. He was inspired by the inclusiveness and acceptance of self-expression in the vogue ballroom scene. His humanistic approach to diversity is expressed as the subtle integration of taffetas, chiffons, curved lines and flounces into sportswear.
THOMAS LARCOMBE
Thomas was raised in southwest England, amongst the natural bare landscapes of Dartmoor. New Britain is a collection of narratives spanning the subcultures of youth in 20th century Britain, each taking a moment in history to create and challenge the current political identity crisis of the UK in the lead-up to Brexit. Each silhouette is an exploration of fragility and resistance, mixed with a sentimental reflection on history brought forward to present times.
YU-CHIEH HOU
WANDER IN STRANGE LANDS
Jessie grew up in Taiwan. Her capsule focuses on modern nomads who arrive in unknown territories with only bags full of hope. It addresses feelings of exile and nostalgia, common to uprooted people displaced from their homelands. Inspired by legends from Taiwanese tribes and her fieldwork experience, the designer explores the practices of those with "floating roots". She questions the function of backpacks as a source of strength, security and intimacy, and transforms them into wearable sculptures.

Edie Ashley
Edie Ashley grew up in Wales, where she gained a love for motorcycles and horses. She is currently collaborating with Bolt Motorcycles on her first clothing collection made from surplus fabrics. She has a radio show on Portobello Radio called Dirt Bike Dub.

Six Unique Ways to Keep Your Hands Warm Skating Outside, Playing Pond Hockey.
From the quirky to the innovative, we've been hearing tons of ways to keep your fingers warm in freezing temperatures. We're in the business of keeping warm, so here are some of the best ways we have found- Starting with the unusual..
This is a strange one on us. Did you know NFL players often coat their faces and arms in Vaseline to prevent windburn? It's supposed to act as one more layer of insulation and protect skin from drying and taking abuse in the cold air. We also heard that paramedics north of the Arctic circle often put Vaseline on their hands because they need to keep their fingers nimble in certain emergency situations. Messy, but effective.
We're grouping these two together. This is another unique tip we've heard from those in the winter running circles. The idea is to sprinkle a little powder or flakes of either cayenne pepper or chili powder onto bare skin, and the skin will react to draw blood to the surface. This is thanks to chili powder's active ingredient of Capsaicin, but the cayenne pepper flakes act the same way. We've heard this is quite effective, but we've also heard a little goes a long ways, so be careful!
We heard this trick from lacrosse players of the northeast. They wanted to play more winter ball, but just like hockey gloves, their gloves are meant to breathe and cool, not to insulate. Medical gloves don't breathe at all and if you've ever worn them in room temperature you'll often find your hands sweating. The drawback here is that there is a happy balance between warm hands and wet hands in the winter, which is why you don't see this one as often. Effective, but must play the balance.
This is the first step we all go to- find some cheap liners that'll fit in our gloves. Often this can be effective and provide just the little bit of insulation we need to keep our digits warm, but sometimes too many layers can work against us by isolating our finger's heat from each other. Also if you're playing hockey you lose some feel for your stick, but this is definitely worth the first try!
Of course we'll throw a quick pitch for our gloves. We've tried a number of different insulations over the years in our gloves, but we only share our favorites. You can skate around in our gloves, but the primary focus is for hockey- protection and warmth. Our gloves are lined with insulation throughout to keep a warm, but breathable enclosure. However we make sure not to line the palm or finger fronts so the user can maintain full feel of their stick. Check out our selection and see if it's worth a shot for you.
Have you tried any of these out- or heard of others? Let us know in the comments below!

MundoMax (Spanish pronunciation: [munˈdomaks]; originally known as MundoFox from August 13, 2012 to July 28, 2015) was an American Spanish-language broadcast television network that was owned by RCN Televisión.[1][2] The network broadcast programs aimed at Hispanic and Latino American audiences throughout the United States - featuring a mix of telenovelas and other serialized dramas, reality television series, game shows, and feature films (both Spanish-dubbed versions of American films and imported films produced in Spanish-speaking countries).
Headquartered in Los Angeles, MundoMax had been headed since its inception in its pre-July 2015 existence as a joint venture between RCN and U.S.-based Fox Entertainment Group (which originally operated the network through its Fox International Channels division) by network president Jose Molina.

As MundoFox
Original logo as MundoFox, used from August 13, 2012 (or August 1 on some pending affiliates) to July 27, 2015; logo briefly remained in use as on-air bug and on official network social media pages after the rebranding to MundoMax.
Fox International Channels first used the "mundoFOX" name in 2001, as the brand for the website of the group's Latin American cable channel Canal Fox. In early 2009, the channel's website introduced a video on demand streaming service for Canal Fox programs that provided programming in both Spanish and Portuguese, which was also branded as mundoFOX[3] (the domain name for Canal Fox's website was changed to canalfox.com in early 2012).
MundoMax traces its origins to the announcement by Fox International Channels and RCN Televisión that the two companies would jointly launch a new Spanish language television network in the United States under the MundoFox brand on January 23, 2012.[4] Hernán López, president and CEO of Fox International Channels, said that the network would cater to "an increasing demand for quality Spanish-language content in the U.S. from both viewers and advertisers."[5] According to 2010 United States Census data, among the 309 million people residing in the U.S., 50 million of them were of some form of Hispanic and Latino heritage (totaling 16% of the total population); advertising revenue from the Hispanic/Latino market made up .6 billion of the billion (or 4.5% of all ad revenue) in the total domestic market in 2011.[6] López noted that the Fox Broadcasting Company saw "similar dynamics in play" when News Corporation (the corporate parent of Fox International Channels at the time of the announcement) launched the network in October 1986 against established English language networks ABC, NBC and CBS;[5] MundoFox, he added, would seek to replicate Fox's early years while launching against established Spanish language networks Univision, Telemundo and Azteca América.[7][8]
MundoFox commenced programming with a soft launch on some of its charter affiliates on August 1, 2012; the network's formal launch occurred twelve days later on August 13.[9] Until it rebranding as MundoMax, MundoFox was headquartered with 21st Century Fox's other U.S. television operations in Los Angeles, California.[4][5]
Relaunch as MundoMax
On July 16, 2015, 21st Century Fox announced that it had sold its stake in MundoFox to RCN Televisión, giving the Colombian private broadcaster full ownership of the network. Fox International Channels president Herman Lopez stated that the company was "proud of having started MundoFox with RCN and are confident that they will realize all of the potential of the network."[10]
On July 28, 2015, RCN announced that it would rebrand the network as MundoMax effective that day; the name change and new imaging package was fully implemented on-air two weeks later on August 13, coinciding with the third anniversary of the network's launch; however, the logo used by the network under the MundoFox identity remained in use as on-screen bug during programming and on the network's Facebook and Twitter accounts until the rebrand was completed. Additionally, RCN announced that it had shut down the network's news division, with company representatives arguing that news programming was "never part of the plan" for the network. The folding of the news division resulted in the layoff of 35 staff members as a result. On July 31, network president Ibra Morales stated regarding the move that "although we have cancelled Noticias MundoFox, RCN Television Group continues its dedication to bringing quality news coverage to the vibrant and dynamic U.S. Hispanic community".[11][12]
It was announced by RCN Television that MundoMax would end operations and all affiliation contracts on November 30, 2016 and lay off dozens of employees in several departments, including administration, programming, promotions, research and sales in Los Angeles, New York and Miami.[13] It was further confirmed on November 10, 2016. The network cited low ratings (which had not been tabulated since Nielsen Media terminated their contract with the network at the end of September), along with an affiliate base which was unable to acquire cable carriage due to their mainly low-power status where must-carry status was unable to be executed. Several affiliates switched to Estrella TV, with Azteca and other Spanish-language networks also taking advantage.[14] By Midnight ET on November 30, MundoMax quietly went off the air without any special send-off about the end of their operations.[15]
Main article: List of programs broadcast by MundoMax
MundoMax operated on a 126-hour network programming schedule, which it adopted in January 2015. It provided general entertainment programming to owned-and-operated and affiliated stations Monday through Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Eastern and Pacific Time. Children's programming blocks under the brands "NatGeoKids" and "XtremaMax" - the former of which features programs compliant with FCC educational programming requirements - aired for three hours each Sunday starting at 9:00 a.m. Eastern and Pacific Time. All other time periods were filled with religious programming or infomercials.
MundoMax had production and distribution agreements with companies including network parent RCN, former co-parent Fox International Channels and 21st Century Fox-owned Shine Group (which produced the company's first Spanish-language programs for the network); RCN co-owned NTN24 and Fox Deportes originally supplied content for the network prior to the divestiture of Fox's interest.[16][17] Prior to the launch of what began as MundoFox, Fox International Channels was already a major producer of Spanish-language programming and sports for its Latin American and U.S. Hispanic-oriented cable channels, with some of the international programs being distributed to the network for broadcast in the United States.[18] RCN is one of the largest producers and exporters of Spanish-language television programming,[19] and had previously provided content mainly to Univision sister network TeleFutura (now UniMás); it stopped committing productions to other Hispanic-targeted networks in the U.S. in anticipation of MundoFox's launch.[5] Brazilian novelas such as José do Egito and Lado a Lado also aired as did a dubbed version of the Turkish seriess Muhteşem Yüzyıl under the title "Suleimán - El Gran Sultán."
A signature program format on MundoMax was the "teleseries", which produced fewer episodes compared to telenovelas traditionally seen on Spanish-language television (roughly 80 versus an average of 120), but emphasized action-oriented storylines, diverse locations and increased production values. One such teleseries that appeared on MundoFox at its launch was El Capo, a show produced for RCN by Fox Telecolombia. Once-a-week series are also featured - which air on weekend evenings - including fellow inaugural programs Kdabra and Tiempo Final ("No Return"); the network also airs current and classic telenovelas during the daytime hours (among the initial titles featured on its daytime lineup included Yo Soy Betty, la Fea ("I Am Betty, the Ugly"), the Colombian series that served as the basis for the Televisa novela La Fea Más Bella and the ABC comedy-drama series Ugly Betty, which returned to the network in November 2014). Telenovelas originally aired on the network only on weekdays and in late-night on Saturdays; in April 2014, the network added a three-hour block of comedic and seriocomic telenovelas on Saturday afternoons (which was inaugurated with the network debuts of La Playita ("The Beach"), Las Clinicas ("The Clinic") and the teen-oriented Chica Vampiro ("Vampire Girl")).
Until June 30, 2014, MundoFox filled much of its late night and early morning schedule with same-day repeats of telenovelas and teleseries from its daytime schedule as well as novelas exclusive to the late night schedule; the network dropped the overnight and morning repeats on July 1, 2014, replacing them with a mix of Spanish-dubbed and English language infomercials in the 1:00 to 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time slot, giving it the highest infomercial total of any fully programmed commercial television network in the U.S. (MundoFox's nine hours of daily paid programming content surpassed the six hours carried by competitor Estrella TV among the Spanish broadcast networks, and the eight hours carried by Ion Television (until that network reduced its infomercial block to six hours in January 2015) amongst all networks).
Lifestyle programs (consisting of how-to and cooking series) also aired on the network during the morning hours, particularly on Saturdays; the network also aired game shows, including 100 Latinos Dijeron ("100 Latinos Said"; which was based on Family Feud) and the now-cancelled Minuto Para Ganar (which continued to air in reruns as of 2015, and was based on Minute to Win It). The network also aired feature films on weekend afternoons, Saturday evenings and select major holidays (such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day), under the umbrella brand "CineMundoMax" (originally "CineMundoMax" until July 26, 2015), consisted of a mix of films produced in Spanish (mainly those from predominately first-language Spanish-speaking countries such as Mexico) or Spanish-dubbed versions of movies originally produced in English (including many produced by sister film studio 20th Century Fox and its subsidiaries). The network also originally aired Spanish dubs of select Fox series (such as Bones and American Dad!),[20] which were dropped from the schedule by January 2014.
Many of the initial original scripted series that air on MundoFox were produced in Colombia, though the network planned to produce U.S.-based series by its second year at the latest.[20] Even though the network's initial slogan was Americano Como Tú ("American Like You"), MundoFox's president at the time, Emiliano Saccone, said during its 2013-14 upfront presentation that he planned for the network to increase its "Mexican flavor."[21][22]
It is unknown if any of the programs on MundoMax will air on any other Spanish networks once the shutdown occurred at the end of November. However, its website continued to offer free streaming episodes until mid-December 2016.
News programming
Main article: Noticias MundoFox
From August 2012 until July 2015 as MundoFox, the network operated its own news division, Noticias MundoFox ("MundoFox News"), which aimed to offer content that was conscious of the Hispanic market in the United States, and the diversity and sensitivities of the different demographics that comprise that market. Noticias MundoFox's operations included a Los Angeles-based newsroom and a bureau in Washington, D.C., as well as international news content from RCN Televisión's sister international cable news channel, NTN24. The Noticias MundoFox division was operated independently from Fox News Channel, which produces Fox News Sunday and other news content for MundoFox's sister English-language broadcast network, Fox.[1]
Noticias MundoFox produced a weekday evening news program of the same name, which was anchored for most of its run by Rolando Nichols (formerly of the network's Los Angeles affiliate KWHY-TV), that originated from Los Angeles; two live half-hour newscasts were produced every weekday, one for the east coast and the other for the west coast (originally airing at 6:00 p.m., before moving to 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time in 2013) as well as a pre-recorded newscast at 10:30 p.m. Eastern Time (which also originally aired at 10:00 p.m. Eastern until 2013), which was lighter in tone compared to the 5:30 p.m. edition. In 2013, the network launched a supplementary news and features program, MundoFox Y Ya! ("MundoFox Now"), which served as a lead-in to the flagship Noticias MundoFox broadcasts. In addition to conventional news programming, the network also produced Central Fox en MundoFox ("Fox Central on MundoFox"), an hour-long late night sports highlight and analysis program on Sundays produced by Fox Deportes that was cancelled in January 2015; it also produced an afternoon entertainment news and talk program, Que No Te Cuenten ("What They Won't Tell You"), which lasted until its cancellation in August 2014.
Under Fox, MundoFox planned to further expand the amount of news programming on its schedule over time;[1] to help bolster its news division, in November 2012, MundoFox tapped former CNN anchor Rick Sanchez, a contributor to Fox News and its Fox News Latino companion website, to present daily contributions to Noticias MundoFox and host several news specials for the network.[23] However, RCN's takeover of the network led to Noticias MundoFox being cancelled on July 28, 2015, with its time slots being replaced by dubbed reruns of the TruTV caught-on-tape video programs Most Shocking and Most Daring.[11] All the network's news staff, including on-air talent was fired as a result of the shutdown of the news division.
Sports programming
Sports programming featured on MundoMax formerly had U.S. Spanish-language broadcast rights to the Ultimate Fighting Championship. These rights were effectively lost in the FIC/RCN split, and the network carried no sporting events unless they were time brokered through an outside company.
In September 2012, shortly after it launched as MundoMax, the network debuted a weekend morning children's program block - which originally aired on both Saturdays and Sundays, before being relegated exclusively to Sunday mornings in 2013 - that was produced in conjunction with National Geographic Kids and Bento Box Entertainment, "National Geographic Niños",[24] which featured live-action and animated series selected to comply with educational programming guidelines set by the Federal Communications Commission; in January 2015, the block was extended to a stripped format, with a half-hour of educational programs airing on weekdays and an additional hour on Sunday mornings.
In September 2013, the network launched a secondary two-hour-long children's program block on Sunday mornings, "XtremaFox", consisting of action-oriented animated series. Following the rebranding as MundoMax, the network's non-E/I children's programming was branded under the banner name "XtremaMax", while the E/I programming was branded under the name "MundoMax Kids".
With the RCN takeover, the Bento Box/National Geographic block was dropped for programming imported from Colombia by RCN in a three-hour Saturday-only block, including Historias clasificadas, Betty Toons, and a Spanish dub of the former PBS series It's a Big Big World (known in Spanish as Gran Gran Mundo). A Spanish dub of the Sprout series Wibbly Pig aired on Monday mornings to fulfill the full three hour requirements.
Main article: List of MundoMax affiliates
As of October 2015[update], MundoMax had current and pending affiliation agreements with 60 additional television stations in 57 television markets, encompassing 22 U.S. and two Mexican states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. possession of Puerto Rico.[25][26] Counting only conventional over-the-air affiliates, the network had a combined national reach of 38.83% of all households in the United States (or 121,322,371 Americans with at least one television set).
In the eight months between the announcement of its formation and the network's formal launch, MundoMax expected to have an estimated national affiliate reach of 75% of U.S. households with at least one television set at the time of its launch.[17] By early March 2012, the network reached charter affiliation deals with 20 stations including KWHY-TV in Los Angeles (which served as the network's West Coast flagship station),[27]WJAN-CD in Miami, KGMC in Fresno[28] and KFWD in Dallas-Fort Worth.[29] These early deals gave MundoFox affiliates in five of the top 10 Hispanic markets and cover at least 40% of U.S. Hispanic households.[30] However, MundoMax's affiliation with WJAN-CD ended on December 28, 2012 with the network's programming moving to full-power station WGEN-TV,[31] which is owned by Caracol Television (RCN's main rival in Colombia) through subsidiary Mapale LLC.
48 stations from MundoMax's initial 50-station affiliate body also committed to developing in-house news departments to provide locally produced Spanish language newscasts to the markets served by the stations, a small number of whom did not have a Spanish language news option on local television at the time of the network's launch (KWHY and WGEN-TV have already operated their own news departments; the former shut down its news operation in August 2015, when RCN Televisión took over KWHY's operations under an outsourcing agreement with its owners, the Meruelo Group[32]). Some affiliates that did not carry full-fledged newscasts had the option to produce two-minute local news capsules inserted into the network's Noticias MundoFox national evening newscasts,[30][33] weather updates and/or air local public affairs programming.
Any remaining affiliates prior to the closure on November 30, 2016 had already exercised the option to switch to similar Spanish programming or change affiliations/formats altogether. In the 3rd quarter of 2016 alone, affiliates in Puerto Rico, Dallas, Chicago, and a few other markets have abruptly changed programming or went silent.
Internet presences
MundoMax maintained a website, streaming episodes of the network's existing primetime series after ceasing on-air operations, though there is little notice about it leaving the air. The network's Twitter account was cleared of the network's tweets since October 2012 days before its end, along with their Instagram. The MundoMax Facebook also remained active in an unmonitored state (besides automated posts from RCN's "Es Trending"), with questions about the network's demise going unanswered by the page's moderators. As of December 4, 2016, the Facebook page has been deactivated, and a couple weeks after that, the website redirects to the URL of RCN Nuestra Tele, a sister cable network which remains carried in the "Latino" or "Hispanic" tier of many American cable systems.
One day prior to MundoMax closing down, KM Communications (the owner of then-affiliated station WOCK-CD in Chicago) filed a lawsuit against the network, alleging fraud, breach of contract, unfair business practices and false promises with no intention to keep them (mainly involving the network acting as WOCK-CD's agent for advertising sales), seeking a jury trial and 5,000 in damages. Belinda Vega, an attorney who represents KM LPTV says "MundoMax committed to certain obligations and failed to fulfill their promises.".[34]

Now I am embarrassed to speak of how we progressed the next day. After rising and breakfasting, I made my way down to the river to wash. Returning up the banks of the river I tripped and twisted my ankle. I was not greatly hurt but I had to limp back to the guard house. The prospect of a day's walking, even on the smooth elf road that led from here to the Great Canyon, filled me with dismay. Durston, however, offered to carry me. Naturally I refused but he was insistent and so I agreed that he could do so just for an hour to give my ankle some time to recover.
Durston picked me up and I clambered so that I was sitting behind his head with my legs over his shoulders and my bottom resting on the saddle bags on his back. I felt like a small child being carried on the shoulders of her mother! Yet with this arrangement Durston could stride quickly along the road and I soon realised that we would make a much faster pace with this arrangement than if I had been walking even before I had hurt my ankle.
We paused for lunch and I conceded thereafter that I would continue to ride on his shoulders.
The day passed without even as we passed along the road. The grass either side was yellow and dry and when the wind blew dust would rise from the ground forcing me to wrap my scarf over my face. Dust and wind made no difference to Durston though and he marched forward without stopping. As the afternoon drew on I even drifted off to sleep on occasion, waking with a start when I realised the circumstance in which I was dozing.
The second night of our journey was spent under the stars. Durston kept watch again as he did not sleep as such. He explained that parts of his mechanical mind did go into a dream like state when he rested – this was necessary for the functioning of his mind – but other parts him remained alert. As it was, the night passed uneventfully.
I walked for part of the next day but eventually consented to be carried by Durston. It was quicker and I could see further ahead sitting on his shoulders. We rested at midday as the day had become quite warm. We sat under a solitary tree not far from the road. Durston was pleased to find a broken saddle, had buried in dust.
He described a people from his history that lived on plains such as these and I agreed that they did sound similar to the human tribes that could sometimes be encountered here. He asked me more about them but I found that I did not sufficient details to answer his questions. He did not seem put out but he then spent several minutes examining the trunk of the tree as if it knew the answer to his questions.
We stopped for a second time in the late afternoon near a thin stream. I refilled my water pouches there and checked the muddy banks for signs. I could see that a pack of wolves had visited this spot recently and so advised Durston that we should continue on for a while longer. The water was refreshing but I preferred to sleep well away from where a wolf pack drinks.
As we walked into the evening I saw a lone rider on a low ridge some distance away. My eyes are keen but I could make out no details other than it was a man on a horse. Durston also looked when I directed his attention to the distant rider.
After another hour of walking, we found a suitable camping spot even as darkness fell. I was tired but Durston had more questions for me.
":Green-bark, in your woodlands I saw a squirrel. Do you remember?" Durston asked. I told him that I did remember and assured him that such animals are common in the woodlands of my tribe.
":Now, my access to much information is improving ~ and I believe the squirrel I saw was small and red and in all ways resembled the Northern European Red Squirrel." Well I wasn't sure what to say about that as it was exactly the kind of strange, half garbled thing Durston would sometimes say.
":Yet!" he continued with more emphasis as if he was orating at an Elder's meeting. ":Yet, on that tree we passed was fur from what I believe to be a North American bison or 'buffalo' as it is more commonly called on that continent." I agreed that these plains were supposed to be home to bison, although I had never seen one.
I shook my head because what he was saying was mostly gibberish.
":Well you mentioned that time was running strangely since your war. ~ Now time is not truly distinct physically from space. ~Consequently it is not simply the passage of time that is affected on these plains but geography as well. Your home looked Northern European. ~ These plains have characteristics of both the steppes of central Asia and the prairies of North America. You see? ~ Everything is in flux!" he ended his little speech with a tone of triumph.
I really wasn't sure how to respond, so I nodded as if I understood. The world is as it is and time flows across it as it does. I think I understand now that Durston was trying to make sense of the same flux at the heart of our world that we have had to contend with ever since the war ended. That struggle against a shifting reality has been the pattern of my life since, for good and for ill. What seemed at the times as a flooded mountain river, rushing out of its bed and carrying everything with it in a mad chaotic swirl, would become more like an ocean full of broad currents and hidden shallows. I did not understand then that these days with a strange mechanical man were simply my tentative foray into wild waters.
Durston and I left at dawn the next day. I rode a pony and we had a second pony with supplies. Durston would not ride and explained he would have no problems walking quickly enough to keep pace with the ponies.
The trail down from our woodlands ran along the side of an escarpment. Once there had been a broad path that zig-zagged down but during the war my people had demolished part of it so as to make an assault on our woodlands harder. The going was treacherous for parts of the path as the ponies had to navigate across patches of rubble and scree. Luckily Durston had proved to be a good judge of what patches or rock were steady enough for the ponies and which were more treacherous. Naturally I did not attempt to ride the pony on the way down this path.
About two-thirds of the way down I became conscious that we were being watched by an animal. The ponies had not yet noticed but I felt sure that a mountain lion was watching us from the rocks above us. I spoke to Durston and when I pointed to where I thought the lion might be he gave a little delighted laugh as if I had shown him a clever trick.
":I can see it a little, Green-bark!" he said pointing upwards. I marvelled at his eyesight but he pointed out that seeing is one thing and noticing is altogether another. He then held up his arm and a small blister appeared on top of his wrist.
":Watch!" he said with a quiet emphasis.
I stared at the rock at which he was pointing. I could just perceive a tiny red dot which then grew slightly in size until I could see it clearly without squinting.
":Targeting laser!" Durston said conspiratorially.
"Is it a weapon?" I asked. Durston shook his head and explained that it was used to help people aim their weapons and that he could "shift the spectrum into the infra-red" – words I recall because he said them with such pride in his capabilities despite the utter meaningless of his statement.
He shifted his arm ever so slightly and the dot (which must have been close to the size of plate given the distance) danced to one side. He twitched his arm again and the dot danced again. With a pounce the mountain lion appeared from behind the rock seemingly intent on catching Durston's laser dot. I could not help but laugh as Durston flicked the dot around the hillside and the mountain lion sprung after it. Durston laughed also – a kind of deep chortle which caused his metal body to shake slightly and metres away the laser dot shook in time to his laughter.
Eventually Durston turned off his laser and the confused mountain lion skulked away exhausted from its fruitless chase. To be honest I felt both a little sorry and a little ashamed that we had toyed with the animal in this way but I was glad that I no longer felt its presence behind us as we continued down the face of the escarpment.
We were nearly at the end of the cliff face that joined more gentle slopes near the base of the escarpment when the second pony lost its footing. It made strangled panicked noises as it tried to find purchase on the rock. Durston and I both tried to grab its reins but it threw its head around too violently for us to catch them. Inevitably more rock gave way under its hooves and a section of the path began to crumble under our feet. Durston thrust one hand into a crack in the rock face and then grabbed me with the other as with a roar the rock below slipped downwards. Both ponies now fell among the rubble that was streaming down the last few metres of the cliff. Around us a must of powdered rock rose in a cloud causing me to cough and splutter.
Durston help onto me tightly as the noise, dust and rock settled about us. I opened my eyes and looked down. Both ponies lay still amongst the rubble. Bloody smears were on the rocks around them.
With some difficulty Durston climbed down the remaining distance still holding onto me securely. When we reached the ponies they were both quite dead.
We recovered our supplies and Durston fashioned the saddle bags so that he could wear them. He assured me that he was more than able to carry their weight. I said a short prayer over the bodies of the ponies and blessed the passage of their spirits. In a more sombre mood we walked on.
At the base of slopes below the escarpment was a river that ran parallel to the line of the cliffs. A narrow elf-built bridge spanned the river and beyond that bridge lay the almost featureless grassland plains.We crossed the bridge and on the other side we entered the old guard tower. Our journey so far had taken much of the day. There were still some hours of daylight left but there was little shelter on the plains and I felt it prudent to spend the night at the guard tower.
I made a fire and a small meal. Durston explained that he didn't need to eat but that he liked to taste small amounts of food 'for reference'. He declared my cooking 'nutritious and notable' in his usual cheery tone. My spirits improved – I had been upset by the death of the ponies and I felt that I had led them into more danger than they deserved. Not only had the path been treacherous but we had been stalked by that mountain lion. Nor had I properly considered the danger from other wild animals. I am an an adequate hunter and I was skilled with a spear and my sigil shield but I do not like to kill an animal simply because I have wandered into its territory. Only a bully would intentionally provoke a fight so that they can kill and claim that they were defending themselves.
Thinking more on this I realised that I had not truly thanked Durston for saving me from the collapse of the path. So I did so and he laughed gently.
Durston wobbled his head slightly which gave the appearance of a nod.
"Can you tell me these rules?" I was intrigued by this moral code that was embedded within everything that Durston could do or think.
"I see" I said. The underlying ethical code that Durston had to live by was esoteric and yet resonant with a spirituality that I could never truly understand.
As night fell we talked beside the fire. I told him more about my life, the war, the death of my mother. Durston was a sympathetic listener I found, as he was inherently patient with people. I explained to him about our destination as I felt that I could place a great deal of trust in this strange being.
":Dwarfs?" he asked when I mentioned the dwarf settlement in the cliff face on the other side of the Great Canyon. I described to him how the dwarfs were a proud people of our world and famous for their skills in mining, and metal work.
":Well that is interesting. ~ and you say you are an elf?" I was surprised that he had missed this salient fact but on reflection nobody had mentioned this to him earlier. I explained how our world had many peoples; elves, humans, dwarfs, the antelope amazons, goblins, the spider cats and merpeople.
":Why this is quite delightful!" He seemed genuinely pleased without I had told him and he quizzed me more about the war and our history until I had to politely decline any more questions due to tiredness.
"What if the intruder is a bear?" I asked jokingly.
":Then I shall reason carefully with it." He answered with a smile in his voice.
The Ledrg Glade was a place of great beauty then as I hope it still is now. It had escaped from the worst ravages of the Darkness war and its trees were both magnificent in size and gentle in demeanour. Foolish young elf that I was, I would probably not have paused to notice its familiar beauty if Durston had not stopped and let out an involuntary gasp as if the Glade was the greatest wonder he had ever seen.
And it was this gasp that may have saved us all from much trouble and distress. My walk towards the Glade with this strange figure had naturally been seen by the lookouts and the guards. We now lived in a more peaceful time but memories of a terrible war had not faded among the adults and the Glade had many former soldiers who had stood back to back and fought off goblin and demonkind and horrors uncounted when I was barely a baby.
I was, as I may have mentioned before, still a foolish youngster and had already forgotten my own fear and alarm when meeting Durston for the first time. His easy manner and whimsical speech had not only disarmed me but had led me to not consider how the people of the Glade would react when this soulless marching statue of metal would arrive unannounced into the Glade.
As Durston paused to gasp, I came to my sense and quickly saw that obscured in tactical positions were many of the most skilled of the elven guard. Elm-sap stood on the inside ledge of the great bough arch his hand working the sigil for a fireball. I too gasped now but in alarm rather than wonder and I waved my arms above my head.
":oh dear ~ please, I must apologise for any alarm I have caused ~ this young person has merely tried to help me!" said Durston who had now noticed the many elves around us.
Elm-sap did not dismiss the half formed sigil and instead dropped down from the bough arch with a leap that looked gentle despite the great distance.
"What kind of thing is this? Is it a trick? Where does the voice come from?" Elm-sap eyed Durston with a wary look as if his eyes could penetrate the outer shell of metal.
"Please do not harm him! I found him in the clearing where the blossom falls. He is some kind of thinking machine and he is lost!" I was scared for both Durston and myself for I now thought that I had been very stupid indeed to simply march him back to the Glade without any thought of the consequences.
Petiole-stipule was the youngest of the Elder Council of our glade but nonetheless was old and highly respected. I saw her now approaching across the floor of the Glade, motioning subtly to the lookouts to lower their weapons.
"What is this that you have found, Green-bark? It walks and talks – but what is inside it?" Petiole spoke as she walked towards us. Elm-sap took a pace away from Durston and me but kept the sigil half burning in his left hand.
"Elder Petitole. Please forgive me. In my haste to seek advice I did not consider what alarm I may cause!" I said stumbling over my words, desperate to make amends for my error.
"Green-bark, I did not ask for an apology, I asked you what it is that you have found. Now speak with care: what it is that you have brought here?" Elder Petiole spoke slowly, as if to a confused child and my ears burnt red with shame because she spoke entirely appropriately in the circumstances.
"Elder, this being is called 'Durston'. He claims to be a mechanical person. He appeared in the grove not far from the broad path by the Brightness Stream. I do not think he means any harm." I replied, steadying my voice as I spoke.
Elder Petiole instructed a guard to fetch some pastry and then motioned me to walk with her to the Elder Hall.
The Elder Hall always seemed lit by sunlight filtered through the foliage of trees. I do not know how this effect was accomplished, as it looked this way even at nighttime. The Elder Hall had a natural quiet to it and was a place of meditation and repose but I felt both tense and alarmed as I walked by the side of Petiole-stipule. We reached the chairs at the end of the hall and she motioned me to sit beside her.
She questioned me slowly about what I had seen in the clearing. In the sand on the floor I sketched what I could recall about the rune I had seen formed by the blossom.
Elder Petiole consider all that I had said and then closed her eyes. I knew she was communing with the spirits of the other elders. Once she opened her eyes again, she spoke to me carefully.
I nodded politely in response.
"Elder, it lies three days ride on the plains below the woodlands. There is a bridge across it and on one side there is a human town and amid the cliffs on the other side is a settlement of dwarfs." I replied perhaps a little too hastily.
I stood and started to walk towards the entrance to the hall.
"I shall be careful." I answered.
I am old now and our worlds have changed. Beside me, my beautiful wife is sleeping and her goblin features are softened by dreams. We love each other as sisters and we love each other as lovers and I cannot imagine how my people could have ever have thought that such love was a unforgivable.
But my story is from before the time that I knew her. Back when I had just passed from childhood and when I first truly ventured into the worlds that were coming into being.
After my mother had died I was raised as if I was the common child of all the people of our Glade. The bloody and horrific War of Darkness had ended twelve cycles before when a mighty alliance of men, dwarfs and elves had defeated the Epitome on the broken hills of Nargrotjh. Since that time our Glade had lived largely in peace, paying no attention to the doings of men or dwarfs.
More as an oversight than by design I was allowed to wander much further in the woodlands than my peers but I was cautious enough to carry with me my spear and a shield of graven sigils. So I was alone and far from any other elf when I came across the clearing.
The ground of the clearing was covered in red-blossoms that had fallen from the surrounding trees and aside from a faint rustle of wind in the branches it was silent. I touched the signs on my sigil shield for I was unnerved by the quiet. A clearing such as this should have been full of bird song and yet I could not hear any kind of animal.
After first looking around me, I stepped softly into the clearing but as I did so the a violent wind swept around me. The blossom was pulled up from the ground and into a gyre that seemed to burn without heat. I raised the shield to my face as I was buffeted by the whirlwind whose roar assaulted my ears and whose pull threatened to lift me from my feet. The howl of the wind rose to a peak and then stopped as suddenly as it had started. As if the silence was a brutal force that knocked me over, I fell to my knees. Before me, floating in the air, the blossom had formed the shape of a rune. I was not skilled in the writing of dwarfs at this time, and the sigil shield was no use for such writing but I was sharp enough of mind, despite the recent violence of the wind, to commit the shape as best I could to my memory.
With a sigh as gentle as a cat's breath the rune broke apart and the blossom dropped softly back to the floor of the clearing. Yet now the clearing was no longer empty.
Standing in the centre of the clearing is what I took to be a suit of armour, such as the knights of men had worn back in the time of the War of Darkness. I knew it to be empty – I am a sylvan elf and can sense the soul of a being as easily as a man can smell bacon – and yet my hunter's instincts made me feel wary as if this figure of metal was a forest creature watching my approach and preparing to run if I moved to suddenly.
The metal figure made a 'click' sound and to my astonishment the head piece moved as I walked forward. I step to one side and sure enough the head piece moved as if it was actively watching me.
"Greetings!" I called out, feeling foolish and glad that nobody else from the Glade could see me attempt to talk to a misplace statue.
I took a step back and stared at the figure. "Hello to you too also" I replied with a nervous tremor.
":shield lift please" the voice was clearly coming from the head pice of the thing.
I lifted my shield both as a means of protection and because I was doubly shaken that this thing had spoken in elvish despite clearly being a thing quite alien to my kind.
The figure hummed like a lazy bee for a short while and then spoke again.
":oh ~ um ~ I am not entirely sure ~ I seem to have had a catastrophic failure of my temporal narrative storage ~ I do apologies for any inconvenience and I hope my normal service can be restored shortly ~ (I really do hope so because I'm finding it all bloody confusing)" the head piece moved back and forth a couple of times and then, like an over tired toddle, the metal figure sat down on the ground with a thump.
Durston, it seemed, was switching between nonsense and repeating my question back at me. I decided to be less polite and asking more direct questions.
My mind reeled. A machine? Men and dwarfs made machines, complex tools of many moving parts. Sylvan elves eschewed such artifices and even high elves avoided building tools that were overly complex and relied on craft, glamour and sigils to create their objects of power.
I took the broad but winding forest path that followed the stream we called Brightness. The waters of Brightness were fed from a glacial tarn that sat high on the mountain above the place of the Glade. For most of the Glade the stream was both a hallowed thing and a thing of delight because of the clarity and purity of its waters but I had my own reasons for regarding it with sadness and I rarely passed this way. However, I thought that the broad path might be better suited to Durston's large mechanical feet. He looked all around him as he walked and I feared that he would trip on a tree root while distracted.
"Thank you sir" I replied not sure of what to make of this strange creatures pleasantries.
":hello squirrel!" Durston laughed and wave at the squirrel which naturally took fright and scampered away.
I thought it best to call him sir. I had recently learned that men are not solely men and I thought that this strange creature might be a mannish thing. Despite what is often assumed among elves who have not encountered the other peoples of our land, men (or as they are more properly called 'humans') have two sexes just as elves and creatures of the forest do. It had been my hope at that time, that the Glade elders would appoint me as a scout and messenger – and in such a role I would possibly encounter both men and dwarfs. So, in anticipation of being appointed to such a role, I had been studiously learning about the other two great peoples of the land. In doing so I had learned that men (humans) are either men or women and that in human society it is best to address each kind in the proper way. If the same is true of dwarfs I do not know and I was much older when I discovered that the same is true of goblins.
Whether Durston was a man or a woman or a dwarfish thing or some kind of demon or sprite, I knew not but he did not object to 'sir' and so I thought of him as 'he' and still do.
As we came closer to the Glade, Durston spoke less but still looked around himself like a child on its first outing from the Glade. He made a please cooing noise as we passed under the large tree-bough arch that marked the entrance by the broad path into the Glade proper.

Frank plans to utilize the journals.
(See the end of the work for more notes.)
Frank had stayed at Reg's manor for another week. After the first day, he hadn't read anything in depth. Not the journals and not the letters. He'd skimmed but not researched.
Most of those days were spent talking with Fiona and Reg about his plans.
After further discussion with Ellen Menzies Fraser, Frank decided to keep the bulk of the journals at Lallybroch.
Frank planned to reclaim and keep the box of James' and Claire's journals in his possession, but didn't tell anyone, not even Reg. Publicly everything was returned to Lallybroch except the letters directly addressed to Frank. The estate already had a safe secure storage, which helped Frank sleep better. Theft of original documents wasn't unheard of. The journals would all stay there. At least until his plans were complete and he was in Scotland permanently.
With Fiona's help, Frank rented a flat in Broch Morda. He could buy a house later. For now, he needed to find a job.
After settling into the flat, Frank made an appointment with the Chair of the History Department at Aberdeen.
Tammis Innes had lived his entire life in Scotland. Had gone to school in Edinburgh and then returned home to teach at the University of Aberdeen. His area of study was the history of the monetary system in Scotland. There were other professors with other areas of study. He had asked the youngest faculty member to join him for today's meeting.
Sandy Travers was an American, who had grown up listening to her father and his friends lament over lost Scotland. Sandy had been intrigued by the romance of it all, and when she went to university had majored in history. When it came time to work on her Doctoral degree, Sandy had chosen Aberdeen. Her area of study was the Jacobite movement and the rising of '45.
Since Aberdeen did not at that time have a professor of Highland studies, Sandy currently taught those classes for the undergraduates. The professor overseeing her doctoral program had retired suddenly for health reasons at the beginning of last term. Tammis was hoping that Dr. Randall would be able to take his place. Sandy was too. Until Aberdeen hired someone to replace the retired Dr. Cameron, her candidacy was in limbo.
The plan was simple. If he could convince Aberdeen to hire him, Frank would go back to Oxford and resign. Sell his flat, pack his things and move to Scotland. Most of the resources that he needed to confirm the journal accounts were in Scotland anyway.
Upon entering the office, Frank noticed a young woman there. Perhaps a secretary to take notes?
"Good to meet you Dr. Randall. I'm Dr. Tammis Innes, head of the history department and this is Professor Sandra Travers, Doctoral candidate. I asked Sandy to sit in on this meeting as the 45 rising is her area of study."
Frank was a little surprised though he didn't show it. A woman Doctoral Candidate was rare.
Frank shook Dr. Innes hand and then Sandy's.
"Have a seat and tell me why you want to leave Oxford to come to Aberdeen."
"Thank you Dr. Innes. My area of study as I said in my letter, is the Scottish Highlands and specifically Highland culture before and after the last Jacobite uprising.
I've very recently gained access to a rather large collection of private journals belonging to a Highland family. The owner and I agree that's it's best if the collection remains here in Scotland."
Frank paused for a moment.
"I could research here and then publish through Oxford. I believe however, that it would be more appropriate for a Scottish University to receive any benefit from my research rather than an English University. If it had been left up to the English, Highland culture would have completely disappeared. As it is, the English forced that culture underground for a long time. Although I am an Englishman, I find it deplorable that the Scottish people were subjugated in that manner. I certainly don't wish to steal their history from them as well."
Tammis sat with raised eyebrow and skeptical expression to Frank's pitch. "How large a collection of journals?"
"Slightly more than a thousand. Some journals are thicker than others, but they date from 1746 to the present."
Sandy gasped. "You're talking about the Fraser collection."
"Yes. I am."
Dr. Innes shook his head. "Pardon me for saying this, but I find that very hard to believe. Hardly anyone outside Scotland even knows the Collection exists. The University is only aware because a member of the Fraser family was a student here in the mid 1850's and mentioned it in one of his papers.
The history department has been trying to get access to the Fraser collection ever since. We could never get the family to allow it."
"I know. Ellen told me, when I asked her to certify that I do in fact have permission to access the original journals."
Tammis' eyebrows disappeared into his hairline. "You mean to tell me that she gave you permission to study the originals? The university can't even get permission to study the copies!"
"Yes." "I do have the notarized certification letter if you'd like to see it."
"I would, yes." Frank pulled it from his briefcase and handed it to Dr. Innes.
Tammis read the letter and sat back in his chair, mind racing. The Fraser Collection. This would bring the University so much benefit he couldn't even begin to calculate it.
"Why? You're not even a Scot. Why would Ellen give you the Fraser Collection."
Frank smiled wryly. Having done his homework Frank knew that Tammis wasn't anti-English, so he didn't take offense at the question. It was odd after all. Fortunately Claire had thought of that too.
He passed over a letter from Claire. The paper was quite old but had been preserved very carefully in the same way the journals had been.
Dear Dr. Randall,
If you read this, then my dream was no dream but a vision of the future. My name is Claire Fraser, Lady Broch Tuarach. I have dreams sometimes, of future events. I do not know why or from whom they come.
This particular dream left me with a set of instructions. Write everything down. The battle of Culloden Moor. Our lives after. Ask my husband, my good sister, brother, and all of our descendants to do the same.
Keep the journals safe and protected until a man named Franklin Alexander Randall comes to ask after them, sometime after a great war engulfs the known world. He will be an Englishman. He will do our story justice.
As my dreams before have come to pass, I believe this one will too. I will follow the instructions and advise my children to do the same.
With thanks,
Claire Fraser, Lady Broch Tuarach
"This was folded into the first journal of James Fraser, the Laird when the journals begin."
Tammis didn't know what to think. He was a Scot, but also an educated man. He wasn't sure he believed in 'the sight' or visions of the future. He looked at the paper. It seemed authentic, although many tests would have to be done on the paper and ink to prove it.
Sandy was nodding. "It was said that Lady Claire Fraser had 'the sight'. I know she was credited with miracles throughout the highlands in her lifetime and even after her death. Now I don't know about visions, but I do believe in God and I do believe in prophetic dreams. It's possible Lady Fraser had one. She was by all accounts a very devout Catholic. Her jet rosary is on display at the Fraser museum."
Frank snorted inwardly. The Claire he knew had been far from devout. Of course, she may have changed, he silently acknowledged.
Tammis finally spoke. "I'll need to meet with Lady Fraser and authenticate this you understand?"
Frank nodded. "I expected as much."
"How did you even find out about the collection?"
Frank and Fiona had thought about this part of the story most carefully. He had known Reg and therefore Fiona for a number of years after all.
"A rather odd series of coincidences actually. I'm friends with a Reginald Wakefield, he's a Presbyterian minister in Glasgow. His housekeeper is a woman named Fiona Graham. Her maiden name was Murray. I've known them both for years. Fiona never mentioned The Fraser Collection. Even though I am an historian, it didn't occur to her. Randall is a common English surname.
We were recently talking over dinner, and middle names came up. I was teasing Reg for having two, I just had the one, Alexander. When Fiona heard that my full name is Franklin Alexander Randall, she connected the dots. She thought I might be the Frank Randall in the stories she heard as a child. After asking me some questions about my ancestors, Fiona told me about the Collection and asked if I wanted to meet with Lady Fraser.
Of course I said yes. If it turned out that I was the Frank Randall they were saving the journals for, then I would have access to an extraordinary resource in my area of study. After doing some additional checking into my family tree, the Lady Fraser determined that I was the right Frank Randall and gave me access to the collection."
'It is a very good thing I worked in intelligence during the war'. Frank thought to himself. Or coming up with something plausible would be much more difficult.
Telling the entire truth wasn't even an option unless he wanted to out Claire as a time traveler, which no one would believe. He'd be thought a lunatic.
Tammis was nodding by the end of the story. "Alright, I guess that's reasonable. What do you plan to do if we don't offer you a post?"
"I'll most likely stay in Scotland anyway. I have a year's sabbatical from Oxford. With a find of this size and scope, I'm sure Oxford would extend the time in order to benefit from my work when I publish." Frank wanted this to stay in Scotland, but he wouldn't beg for a job.
Tammis was relieved rather than offended. Desperate men were not the best employees.
"Good. I intend to offer you a position, I just don't like to see anyone put all their eggs into one basket. Now. Given the extent of the collection, I want to give you plenty of time for research. Here is my proposal.
You join the faculty and teach the graduate level classes. Sandy can continue to teach the undergraduate level, and you see her through the rest of her doctoral program. In return Sandy becomes your research assistant. It is her field of study also, after all."
Frank thought about that for a minute. He'd have to read everything first and filter it before showing anything to Miss Travers, but having an assistant would be very helpful. "I can agree to that. The originals will be kept at the Lallybroch storage facility, for security more than anything. I do have authorization to copy things though. If Miss Travers would assist in writing out my research for publication, I would greatly appreciate the help."
"I look forward to it. Just to see copies of The Fraser Collection is more access than I ever dreamed of." Said Sandy.
Frank went on. "I just rented a flat in Broch Morda so as to have closer access to the Broch Tuarach estate and surrounding area. Being in the geographic area the journals were written will help with putting it all into context. I do plan to go back to Oxford to resign and sell my flat there. I should be back before the beginning of the Fall term.
Broch Morda is over two hours from Aberdeen by auto. I am happy to teach, I do request that my classes all be schedule into a couple of days, so I can spend the other days researching without the additional four hour drive." Frank concluded.
"That's doable. If we were to schedule your classes for Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with office hours Tuesday evenings, you could stay overnight in one of the faculty flats on campus." Tammis was quite used to history professors wanting to lump class schedules so they could research. The more they published the better for the University. Tammis accommodated them as much as possible.
Tammis stood up holding out his hand. "Well then. Welcome to University of Aberdeen."
Frank stood also and shook the offered hand. "Thank you. I look forward to being here."
Turning to Sandy and shaking her hand also, "Miss Travers, I look forward to working with you."
"Thank you Dr. Randall. I'm looking forward to it as well."
"I'll have the employment contract drawn up. It should be ready for signing in a few days. If you leave your contact information with my secretary, she can let you know when it's ready to be signed."
Frank nodded and saying his goodbyes, left the office.
Tammis looked at Sandy. "The Fraser Collection. I'll be damned."
There are three more snippets after this.

MicroProse is happy to announce that Regiments, its new Cold War RTS, has an Open Playtest Build available for everybody to try, now on Steam.

MicroProse is happy to announce that Regiments, its new Cold War RTS, has an Open Playtest Build available for everybody to try, now on Steam. There is also a shiny new trailer introducing Operation Firebird, the main mode available in the playtest.
Find Regiments on Steam
What will be included in this new Playtest?
The Playtest is focused on the new Operations game mode.
In Operations, you will lead your regiment through days of grueling combat over several maps, making tough decisions and experiencing the full weight of their consequences.
Operations feature a high level of persistence. All the losses are recorded, the deployed platoons retain their positions, the engineering obstacles stay where they were emplaced. Even the wrecks and the scarred terrain remain between battles on the same map.
Each phase of combat advances the time of day – eventually, you'll have to fight at night, relying on night vision equipment or Illumination artillery rounds.
How will Operations unfold?
Between and during the battles, you have to carefully watch your main resource: Operational Points. They're earned for completing certain objectives – and have a wide array of uses.
They can be used to replenish losses in the depleted companies, to order more supplies or engineering support, request new Task Forces, or upgrade existing ones with better equipment.
Operational Points are, thus, always in short supply.
The enemy will not sit idly and will ferociously counter-attack your hard-earned gains. A wide variety of war events is represented by the Events system. Each phase will have a single event play out. Some are beneficial, like extra air support or an allied battlegroup. Some are negative – supplies failing to reach you in time or an enemy electronic jammer interfering with the communications and radars.
Along with the Operations mode, you'll experience the usual set of improvements. AI updates, extra quality-of-life features, refined visual presentation, more units.
What will be the final Regiments experience?
It's 1989 and the flames of a New War are flaring up. Thousands of square miles of German landscape will become a stage for sweeping battles between the best NATO and Warsaw Pact has to offer.
Lead your Regiment through the inferno of a wide-scale Cold War conflict in this new Real-Time Tactics game. Breakthrough the lines, call in artillery and air support, maneuver, feign retreats, and stage mobile defenses. Do not relent.
The Platoon Command system lets you orchestrate battles with unprecedented precision and ease. No need to micromanage every infantryman – you're a Commanding Officer, not a sergeant.
Form your force on the fly. Selecting the main Regiment is just a start. You can expand your army during the game by calling in unique Task Forces, each bringing its own equipment and off-map support options.

Q: calling an api in reactjs I am just starting to learn react. As of now I am feeding some hard-coded data in my application which I want to get it replaced by some external api and load data accordingly. Here's what I have done so far.
import axios from "axios";
class TodoStore extends EventEmitter{
    constructor() {
        super();
        this.todos = [
            {
                id: 123,
                text: "Go Shopping",
                complete: false
            },
            {
                id: 456,
                text: "Pay Bills",
                complete: false
            }
        ];
    }

getAll(){
        return this.todos;
    }

Now what I want to do is I want to implement https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos and assign all the returned results in my todos. So, what would be the proper way to do so? Any help will be appreciated.

A: There are so many ways you can achieve what you want. As you've just started react, you probably want to play with just react changing states and props.
you can directly call axios get method in componentDidMount or componentWillMount and save the states in your react component.
As your project grows, you might want to try more future proof and easy to maintain solution like implementing Redux.

A: first thing i should say you that is please use react state and then you should know react Life Cycle:
import axios from "axios";
class TodoStore extends EventEmitter{

            componentDidMount () {

               axios.get('your url')
              .then(function (response) {
                 this.setState({
                   todos : response
                 });
                /// and you can get response with this.state.todos in your class
              })
             .catch(function (error) {
                console.log(error);
             });

             }

   }

A: If you're not using any framework (like Redux or Relay) componentDidMount is the best place to do it. From react Component Docs:

componentDidMount() is invoked immediately after a component is mounted. Initialization that requires DOM nodes should go here. If you need to load data from a remote endpoint, this is a good place to instantiate the network request. Setting state in this method will trigger a re-rendering.

Your class would look something like this:
import axios from "axios";

class TodoStore extends EventEmitter{
    constructor() {
        super();
        this.state = { todos: []} //initial todos - an empty array in state
    }

    componentDidMount() {
        axios.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos')
        .then(function (data) {
            this.setState({
                todos: data //set the received todos to state
            })
         })
         .catch(function (error) {
             console.log(error);
         });
     }

    getAll(){
        return this.state.todos; //get todos from state
    }
}

Justine Walker's work follows an interest in feminine subjectivity and identity. She draws heavily on her own experience of the world and the things that don't make sense to her on any level. In particular, Walker is interested in the expectations and limitations that society puts on all of us based on our gender, age, sexuality, ethnicity and so on. Using photography, video, sculpture, drawing and craft to investigate how women are responding to these expectations and what society is creating in reality.
