Effect of Alcohol on Reaction Times: Experiment
The experiment tested whether alcohol had any effect on reaction time.Abstract
Objective: The experiment tested whether alcohol had any effect on reaction time.
Method: Subjects were required to identify the threshold at which a flickering light became constant (critical flicker fusion threshold) using a computerised flicker fusion system. Frequency increased at a rate of 4 hertz per second. Critical flicker fusion threshold is a well accepted and documented non-invasive measure of reaction time. Ten female subjects were tested under control conditions and following ingestion of 2 units (80 mg) alcohol. It was hypothesised that alcohol would cause an increase in reaction time, which would translate to a delay in recognising the critical flicker fusion threshold, thus higher frequency results.
Results: Ingestion of 2 units (80mg) of alcohol was associated with an increase in mean critical flicker fusion threshold from 14.6 hertz to 15.4 hertz (p<0.0001). This increase in mean critical flicker fusion threshold translated to an increase in reaction time equivalent to 0.2 seconds.
Conclusion: 2 units of alcohol had the effect of increasing reaction time by an average of 0.2 seconds, which has serious implications for the consumption of alcohol prior to tasks involving complex motor skills such as driving.
Alcohol and its effects
Alcohol is believed to be the oldest drug used by humans, predating even the use of opium by 2000 years to around 8000 BC (Kerr, Hindmarch 1998). Whilst legal age limits exist for the purchase of alcohol in the United Kingdom, it is widely regarded within the Western world as an acceptable drug.
In recent household studies in the UK it was found that 75% of men and 60% of women consumed at least one alcoholic drink per week. In addition, 40% of men and 23% of women were found to have exceeded the national recommendations on alcohol consumption within the previous week (Office for National Statistics 2005). The Institute For Alcohol Studies ranks the United Kingdom as 9th in per capita consumption of pure alcohol within European Nations, with 9.6 litres of pure alcohol being consumed per capita in 2002 (Institute for Alcohol Studies 2005).
Alcohol is known for its psychoactive effects, which include alterations in vision, motor tasks and skills such as car driving and flying. In addition it is repeatedly shown, whether anecdotally or via scientific measurements, that a strong correlation exists between alcohol consumption and violence.
Alcohol is known to be a contributory factor in road accidents, with 9% of casualties showing evidence of alcohol consumption, this figure rising to 31% when considering pedestrians (The Scottish Office Central Research Unit 1998). Research carried out in the 1980s by the Transport Research Laboratory indicated that alcohol was involved in 35% of fatal road traffic accidents, with the figure falling slightly to 31.5% in a similar study completed in 2000 (Tunbridge, Keigan & James 2001). However neither of these reports explained why the association existed between alcohol and road traffic accidents, whether resulting in death or not.
Of import for this report is the association between alcohol and reaction time. The majority of alcohol consumers can identify a slowing down of their faculties following alcohol consumption, regardless of claims to the contrary. Research has shown that alcohol impairs the ability of individuals to carry out complex motor tasks.
One example involved bus drivers being asked to drive a vehicle through a narrow space, or highlighting the fact that the gap was too narrow if necessary. It was shown that alcohol consumption was correlated with a reduced ability to accurately guide the bus through the gap, coupled with an inability to accurately gauge the width of the gap. Hence bus drivers who had consumed alcohol were more likely to judge a gap as to be wide enough when it was not, than those who had not consumed alcohol and whose spatial awareness remained intact (Rang, Dale & Ritter 1999a).
Recommended stopping distances at 30 miles per hour are 23 metres / 75 feet, of which 9 metres / 30 feet are the 'thinking distance'. This is based on an average reaction time of 0.7 seconds when the car is travelling at 44 feet / second. Therefore if reaction times increase, stopping distances will do so also, with serious implications in an accident.
It has been indicated by some research that low levels of alcohol consumption have very little effect on reaction time if attention could be focussed on a single objective (Jaaskelainen et al. 1996). Where attention needs to be divided between task objectives, even low blood alcohol levels were found to impair performance. This suggests that alcohol is not going to greatly impair reaction time during simple tasks, but complex tasks which require several aspects to the performance would be much more likely to be impaired. This was further supported by the research of Bartholow et al which found that response times per se were relatively unaffected by the presence of alcohol but the ability to respond appropriately to tasks that required complex attention were (Bartholow et al. 2003). Indeed the authors implicate alcohol in impairments of cognitive processing, rather than the motor responses that result from these processes. They cite data from studies that have shown that alcohol acts to reduce the ability to respond to stimuli as well as interpret and process the correct relevance of these stimuli. This inability to respond fully to cues from the environment is described as the attention-allocation model, as the brain is selective in which cues are actually attended to and processing within the brain. Further research has indicated that alcohol can sometimes actually improve the ability of subjects to resist distraction from a task (Erblich, Earleywine 1995) but this is not in keeping with the majority of research.
Given the existing data this experiment was designed to assess the ability of female subjects to respond to a change in a single form of stimulus. There was no distraction, nor a divided attention focus required, in an effort to ensure that the effects of alcohol on reaction time, if any, were more obvious.
Flicker fusion threshold
The human eye is capable of distinguishing between intermittent stimuli such as flickering light, up to a threshold, which is usually around 16 Hertz. The frequency at which the human eye is no longer able to distinguish individual stimuli is defined as the critical flicker fusion threshold. It is at this frequency that the individual stimuli have fused to form a single continuous stimulus. The flicker fusion threshold will vary between individuals depending on their eyesight, hence the use of a number os study participants. It will also vary between an individual's readings depending on their reaction time at each stage – ie the time at which they actually consciously register that the hitherto flickering stimulus has now become constant and are able to respond to this knowledge.
The purpose of this experiment was to use the measurement of critical flicker fusion threshold as a correlate to reaction time.
For this experiment the experimental hypothesis was that alcohol acts to increase the reaction time of female subjects.
The null hypothesis was that alcohol has no effect on the reaction time of female subjects.
Thus it would be expected that an individual with a slower reaction time would give results indicating a higher critical flicker fusion threshold, measured in hertz.
In other words it would be expected that the frequency at which subjects indicated that the flickering light (for full details of methodology please see below) had fused into a single light would be higher under alcohol conditions than control. This would not be due to an enhanced ability to differentiate between flickering and constant light, rather a delay in the ability for this change to register and be processed by the brain, and the subject to press the button.
Ten female subjects aged from 18-35 years, with a body mass index of 19-28 were selected as part of an open experiment into the effect of alcohol on reaction time. All subjects were informed of the purpose of the experiment prior to taking part and were required to complete medical questionnaires to exclude medication that might affect the results of the experiment. Known negative effects of alcohol consumption were also excluded and subjects all had a history of regular alcohol consumption of at least 2 units, once per week.
Subjects were required to refrain from eating or drinking for the 2 hours prior to each test, which took place on consecutive days, with the control (no alcohol) test taking place prior to the alcohol test. The 2 hour nil by mouth regulation was put in place in an effort to standardise the absorption of the alcohol by reducing stomach contents to a more uniform amount, thus providing a similar surface area available for alcohol absorption in each study participant.
On arriving at the test room subjects were required to complete a health and safety questionnaire and were again reminded of the aims and purposes of the experiment. Subjects were free to leave at any time, and signed consent forms to allow their results to be used.
Following the initial briefing subjects were given a training briefing on the specialised equipment and allowed to take a small number of practise tests to familiarise themselves with the equipment requirements. Following this training period a five-minute break was allowed.
For the test itself each subject was required to drink 250ml of pure orange juice, with a five-minute timespan being allowed for the drink to be consumed. Forty minutes after the drink had been consumed subjects critical flicker fusion threshold was tested using the Model 12021 Flicker Fusion System (Lafayette Instruments).
This time scale was used as the 2 units of alcohol would have reached a peak blood alcohol concentration of approximately 80 mg/100 ml 45 minutes following ingestion (Wilson, Benjamin & Sreenivasan 2003). Assuming absorption and metabolism at the accepted 4 mmol/l per hour (Rang, Dale & Ritter 1999b), the alcohol would be expected to have been removed completely from the body within 6 hours (Wilson, Benjamin & Sreenivasan 2003).
Subjects were requested to look in to the binocular eye piece at two white simultaneous lights. The use of a separate light for each eye was used to prevent differences in eye focussing from causing conflicting critical flicker fusion thresholds.
The initial flash frequency of 4 hertz was set to ascending at a rate of 4 hertz / second. The subject was provided with a push button connected to a 1 metre cable and was required to push the button when the flickering ceased and the lights became fused to a single light emission. The point at which the button was pressed was taken as the critical flicker fusion threshold.
Each subject was required to undertake ten reaction time recordings.
The experimental procedures on day 2 were identical to day 1, except that 2 units of alcohol (vodka), approximately 80mg of pure alcohol, had been added to the 250ml of pure orange juice that the subjects were required to drink. A further ten reaction time recordings were made using the flicker fusion system.
Each subject was able to provide 10 reaction time recordings, which ranged from a minimum of 11.5 Hertz (subject 9, recording 6, no alcohol) to a maximum of 19.4 Hertz (subject 3, recording 8, with alcohol).
The mean for the control / no alcohol test was 14.6 + 3.6 Hertz. The mean for the alcohol test was 15.4 + 4.0 Hertz.
Tables 1 and 2 below show the individual reaction times of each subject participant on the two tests.

Samuel Herbert Adams (January 28, 1858 – May 21, 1945) was an American sculptor.
Herbert Adams was born at West Concord, Vermont. In 1863, at the age of five, he moved to Fitchburg, Massachusetts, so his father could take a job at the Putnam Machine Co. His family purchased a home on 26 Chestnut Street. He attended the Fitchburg public schools, the Academy and was influenced by Fitchburg's first Art teacher, Louise Haskell, to pursue a career in Art. He attended Massachusetts Normal School in Boston and got a teaching certificate. Herbert Adams taught Art in the Fitchburg Public schools from 1878–1882, but left Fitchburg for Paris France in 1885 to pursue his interest in sculpture. He was educated at the Massachusetts Normal Art School enrolling in 1877 at 18 years of age, and in 1885-1890 he was a pupil of Antonin Mercié in Paris.
In 1889 Rodney Wallace, James Phillips, and Henry Willis donated money for an ornamental fountain to grace the Upper Common of Fitchburg, MA and the City accepted the idea. This 26 foot in diameter granite and bronze fountain depicting two playful boys and a family of turtles was the first public commission awarded to Adams and was created in his Paris studio. This was the first, large sculpture, done in the "lost-wax" process, brought to America. During Adams lifetime he completed over 200 major public works of art, and is considered to be one of the most important American sculptors.
In 1890-1898 he was an instructor in the art school of Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York. He was elected into the National Academy of Design in 1898, and in 1906 was elected vice-president of the National Academy of Design, New York. Adams later served as President from 1917-1920. He experimented successfully with some polychrome busts and tinted marbles, notably in the Rabbi's Daughter (1894), and a portrait of the actress Julia Marlowe (1898). He was at his best in his portrait busts of women, the best example being the study, completed in 1887, of Miss Adeline Pond, whom he later married.
He was a member of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts from 1915 to 1920, serving as vice chairman from 1918 to 1920.
Adams died in New York City in 1945.
Works by Adams are held by numerous American museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

When I was a kid I use to love my wagon. My sister would put me in it and pull me to the little convenience store or pull me with her bike. I also would sit in it with one leg out and use it and scoot with it using my foot. Then one day my Dad took over with it and it was GONE. He used it for fire wood, He used it for his garden. He painted it and kept using it for his needs. I think he even used it after I got married and moved out when I was twenty four.

Our story begins in the late 1970s when my son George was about five years old. I believe it was Stokley can goods who had a special offer, if you save 100 labels and send them in, you would receive a Radio Flyer Wagon! I remember having all the family members, grandma and aunts saving labels so we could get this red wagon, which we did after about a month or two of saving. My son was so excited when it arrived. He would have me take him to the park, grocery store and everywhere in his radio flyer. After about five years my father helped him repaint his wagon. My dad worked at the Cadillac dealer ship in Oak Park. One of his customers was Mario Pason and my father was telling him about his grandson and the repainting of his radio flyer wagon. He mention to him that he needed to find new hubcaps to remount the wheels. Lucky for us he was so kind to get them. We still have the wagon today which was also enjoyed by my grandson. So many special memories in this Radio Flyer Wagon!

Wooden toys for babies and toddlers are 100% natural and contain no harmful chemicals, making ideal for conscious parents who want to avoid exposure to toxic substances.
There are so many choices parents are faced with when it comes to choosing toys for their little ones. It can be easy to fall into the pattern of buying cheap (they'll grow out of them soon anyway!) or readily available (found at any big box store) toys.
Most commonly, what is cheap and available everywhere are plastic mass produced and mass marketed toys. But did you ever wonder how parents entertained their kids before the invention of plastic toys?
Wooden toys are not nearly as commonplace as they were in generations past, but they have enjoyed a steady following of savvy parents through the decades and they are making another comeback, thanks to the growing interest in environmentally friendly and health conscious products.
What follows are five great reasons to choose wooden toys for babies and toddlers over plastic alternatives. Of course there are many more than just five though!
Most toys these days are made from plastic because they are cheap to produce and can easily be molded into whatever shapes and colors that can be dreamt up. The dark truth behind those fun shapes and bright colors though, is that they can contain toxic chemicals that are harmful to your baby.
Perhaps you have heard of BPA and PVC? These are two common chemicals found in plastics. BPA (bisphenol A) has caught the attention of consumers within the last few years after the FDA reported that it could be hazardous to fetuses and children. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a chemical that has huge environmental impact from its production to its disposal.
Phthalates are added to soften PVC so it can be molded into shapes. These are toxic chemicals that are linked to negative effects like changes in hormone levels.
Wooden toys for babies and toddlers are completely 100% natural and contain no harmful chemicals, making them the top choice for parents who want to avoid chemicals.
When made from renewable and sustainably harvested sources, wooden toys for babies and toddlers can be very eco-friendly. Some of the common types of eco-friendly wood used to make toys are wood from FSC-certified forests, bamboo or Rubberwood.
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Certified wood is eco-friendly because the forests must undergo a strict certification process that includes prohibiting the harvesting of rare old growth forests, protects water quality and prevents the loss of precious forest cover.
Rubberwood trees are most commonly known for their production of natural latex. After 25 years they no longer produce latex and forests are usually burnt down for re-planting. The use of "retired" rubberwood trees to make wooden toys for children, makes use of an otherwise discarded resource.
Bamboo is a common, fast growing, renewable and sustainable reed that creates beautiful, safe and durable wooden toys for babies and toddlers.
Wooden toys will outlast and out-perform plastic toys. Wood is typically much more durable than plastic. This durability translates to years and years of use.
Wooden toys are timeless and often cherished by generations, passed down through the family.
The upfront cost may seem high, but when taking into consideration the health of your family and your environmental footprint, high quality eco-friendly wooden toys are actually cheaper than buying plastic toys in the long run.
Sometimes simplicity wins. At first thought you may think that your child will not be entertained without all the flashy lights and sounds of mainstream toys. The problem with flashy toys though is that they don't leave room for the imagination to create those details. As adults we forget just how active, wild and free a childs imagination is. Natural kids toys provide just enough of a suggestion to the child for their mind to run free.
Following a few simple guidelines, wooden toys are easy to keep clean. The most important difference between cleaning wooden and plastic toys, is that wooden toys must not be soaked in water, as this can cause the wood to swell and crack.
For daily cleaning, you can spot clean with a clean rag and soap and water, wipe dry and air dry the toy completely before being used again. Disinfecting wipes can also be used, as well as a solution of vinegar and water sprayed on to the toys and wiped dry.
So Much to Love about Wooden Toys for Babies & Toddlers!
If you are just venturing into the wonderful world of wooden toys for babies and toddlers, you will find that there is a lot to love about wooden toys. Not only will your little ones love them, but they are beautiful and timeless, and you can rest easy knowing that you made a healthy choice for your family and for the planet.

We Are Avenged
Javert posted a topic in Principality of South Sedan
The Siege of Southbridge A Sedanian's Perspective Four decades ago, Sedan declared her freedom from the tyranny of the Holy Orenian Empire. Four decades ago, the people of Sedan suffered our defeat at the Battle of Southbridge. A war to free ourselves from the Emperors who cared naught for us, the rights of the nobility, nor the true will of the people that had ended with the righteous people of Sedan being forced to flee their homes as the Orenian Hordes came bearing down upon our beloved Principality. Now, Four decades later, we stood before the same fortress that caused our defeat in our righteous war, now engulfed in flame. With the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, the Kingdom of Haense, the Ferrymen Band, and many more marching side-by-side with us, we returned to exact our vengeance. The Siege was glorious; beautiful, even. It brought myself to near tears seeing the trebuchets unleash hellfire upon that cursed castle of Southbridge. In that moment I knew that my Father, Uncle, Cousins, and all those who had suffered at the hands of Oren were now avenged. Stone bashed against the brittle walls of the Castle, the feeble Orenian rock crumbling and causing many Orenians to fall to their demise below. The Order was given, and we charged into the keep with no hesitation in our hearts. Under our glorious Prince Leopold, along with the brilliant minds of the Tripartite Leaders, I knew we would have victory that day. The Sedanians, alongside our Tripartite Allies, fought with a fury not seen since the War with Rozania. We fought the Orenians with fire in our hearts, determination in our minds, and vengeance as our goal. It soon became clear that the Orenians could not withstand the might of true steel and battle-hardened men, as many fell before our blades as we came upon them. The Coalition's Trebuchets had battered their fort into nothing but a kill-zone, that we gladly used to our advantage. Corralled in a single hallway, our arrows found their marks in the weak spots of Orenian armor, while others harassed our foe from behind, not allowing them a moment's rest. Not even Twenty saint's minutes into the battle, the sound of fighting died down. The bodies of thousands of Orenian dead littered the ground inside and surrounding the keep. From there, I knew with a wonderful certainty that the day had been won. We had endured minimal casualties while inflicting severe losses upon our cowardly foe. Upon the conclusion of the battle, nothing could be heard but the warcries of the many nations that had come. "Krusae zwy Kongzem!" "Iron from Ice!" "Narvak oz Urguan!" and of course, "Ave Sedan!" Let it be known, the People of Sedan shall always have their revenge. Be it days, months, years, or decades, we shall have it. Ave Sedan

[Completed]Sedan Settlement Application
Dogged posted a topic in Completed
Settlement PRO MC Name: Doggedwasupxxx Settlement Name: The Principality of Sedan Proposed Settlement Locations (Highlight 3 on the map): Tile 72, Tile 63, Tile 62 (we prefer tile_72, starred below) Settlement Lore (could include previous roleplay posts showing involvement with the community) (1000 words minimum): With over two years of in-game history spanning over two consecutive maps, Sedan is one of the most successful and dynamic groups to exist on the server. I - Early History Over the centuries, Sedan has served as both the home of the Horen cadet House de Joannes and the infamous Chapter of Saint Alexander (or "Goats of Sedan"). The family has a link to the ancient Marnantine cause- they professed to have inherited the Marnan claim upon the death of Joseph I, leading to the election of short-lived, sickly Alexander II. The coup of warlord Adrian de Sarkozy sent the family fortunes in shambles, with one of Alexander's brothers being executed and another exiled. The remaining de Joannes, Robert, lived in exile for his entire life, serving as a mercenary and fighting for or against Oren depending how fortunes swayed. He maintained a loyal following of companymen, which would one day become the background of modern Sedan. The Sedan Company of Prince Robert at the conclusion of the Skirmish of Al-Sootikya The company of Prince Robert served in numerous conflicts, including the NAFTA Crisis and AIS War under the employ of the Kingdom of Haense, as well as numerous minor conflicts between smaller independent states. II - Sedanian Rebellion After his fathers death, Louis returned to Oren with children of his own and began building up the Sedan fortune as seen today. Louis advocated for vassal-rights and levies to be afforded to any and all lords. An early Sedanian patrol led by Louis de Joannes Despite the chargin of the Imperial State, the family retained their sizable mercenary force. One particular event which struck considerable tensions between both parties was the Goats' successful rescue of John Hartcold, the former Orenian King-of-Arms. Thereafter, the Hartcold family pledged their loyalty and service to the de Joannes clan, though such a move was greatly lambasted by the Orenian government. Operation Hartcold, led by Louis and Alexander de Joannes Another important event came in a makeshift alliance between the Goats and the Rangers of Southbridge against the then-High Pontiff Owyn III. Though the operation was ultimately unsuccessful, the event quickened the downfall of the pontiff and his eventual condemnation by a council called by the King of Haense, Heinrik II. The Orenian government heavily condemned both the Goats and the Rangers, leading to worsening ties between the former and the Imperial Crown. Operation Draetard, together with the Rangers of Southbridge The Emperor, Joseph II struck down any notion of vassal-rights and the youngest son of Louis was arrested by Imperial soldiers. The Goats of Sedan, enraged by the arrest of a child, marched on Providence and began a bloodless shootout with the ISA troopers. This engagement gave Emperor Joseph the justification he needed to evict the Sedanians from their manor, citing the supposed refusal to pay taxes, the owning of a private army, and a handful of other criminal charges. Alongside being evicted, the de Joannes family were labeled criminals and the Imperial State Army was ordered to arrest any family members on sight. Battle of Southbridge Louis and his sons immediately gathered up an army and marched against the Orenians, sparking the Battle of Southbridge. Despite the battle being an Orenian victory, Louis declared independence from Oren, and declared the creation of the Principality of Sedan. Louis and his support boosted, with the Goats of Sedan receiving several new additions to their ranks. Importantly, two noble families known as the House of Hartcold and the House of Bishop joined the ranks of the Principality, and were each given a Barony as a result as their family members rushed to join the Sedanian army. Several skirmishes between Sedan and Oren continued from 1811 to 1813, with the outcome of these small-scale engagements swapping hands multiple times. Eventually, Louis came to the realization that Sedan would not be able to rally enough men to hold against an Orenian siege army, and as a result declared the Spring Contingency. The Spring Contingency, which ordered the burning of the Sedan Castle and the retreat from Oren, caused the de Joannes family, the Hartcold family, the Castile family, and the Bishop family to go into exile in the Kingdom of Haense. Joannes Family while in exile in Haense III - The Exile and South Sedan Haense, bound by their own agreements with Oren, denounced the Sedanians. So they quickly moved to a new station. The Grand King of Urguan granted the refugees land and Prince Alexander of Sedan revealed that the Orenians told them to build on top of Dwarven Ruins. King Nooblius, enraged by this, denounced Oren and displayed their wrong doing in an open-letter for all of Almaris to see. At the same time, the Church of Cannon recognized the Sedanian people offering them a diocese again. Execution of an alleged Orenian spy in South Sedan However there were talks of an excommunication after a Ferrymen Slave auction was held in Sedan against the will of the Sedanian people. The Ferrymen threatened everyone present in the Sedan castle until they got their way, which led to more patrols led by the Sedanians after the incident. At the time, Sedan was not ready to defend itself from the Ferrymen, and as a result caved on their demands. The entire incident caused Urguan to bring Leopold, the new Prince, to trial in the capital. Urguan accused Leopold of allowing the Ferrymen to do the auction in the first place, however the Sedanians denied this. While there were some light tensions, cooler heads prevailed and the Sedanians were let off with a fine. This caused the Sedanians to be even more cautious in their actions going forward. View of Louisville and Carsura (South Castle) IV - Conflicts Against the Rustlers During a routine patrol led by Peter de Joannes, the Goats encountered armed mercenaries, known as Rustlers, within the vicinity of Sedan. After engaging and interrogating the Rustler band, a fight broke out between both parties. The Goats quickly gained the upper hand and resoundingly defeated the Rustlers with no survivors. While the details of the event are murky, with both sides blaming each other of banditing, one fact was certain: bloody ordeal awaited both hosts of soldiery. A rustler being put on trial in Sedan's Court The war was quick- the Goats under the young Leopold dominated the field in every skirmish, bringing the Rustlers to heel under the ferocity of Sedanian steel. Countless Rustler commandos and under-bosses were executed, with many more slain in lightning raids. Rustler Boss being held captive by the Sedanians After a continuous string of victories, the Rustler Boss - a malicious elf by the name of Elsil'Ceru - was captured alive and brought before the Court of Sedan. Their cause all but lost, the boss delivered his submission to Prince Leopold. While many called for the boss' execution, the Prince's council instead found it wise to extract reparations and tribute instead from the motley band of raiders. Humiliated and debased before the citizenry of Louisville, Elsil'Ceru was released, ending the conflict in a resounding Sedanian victory. VI - Oisin's Rebellion The fame of the mercenary Goats only grew following the submission of the Rustler bosses. Now seeking new engagement, the young Prince and his council was approached by a would-be claimant: Oisin Roza, a bastard child of a pagan fiefdom towards the west of Sedan. He promised the Goats riches, glory, and (most importantly) his family's conversion to Canonism. After a brief deliberation in-house and with Sedan's newest ally Savoy, the Prince agreed to Oisin's proposal. Quickly, Leopold ordered the Goats to march and bivouac close to Rozania. Sedan's forces fought in all major engagements of the Rebellion, especially the First Battle of Louisville, the Second Battle of Louisville, and the Sacking of Roza. All three of these battles were Sedanian victories, and flooded Sedanian treasuries with war loot that would last them the rest of the war. It is because of their victories that Sedan boomed in population and manpower, leading to increased popularity not seen since the days of the Sedan Rebellion. Execution of a Rozanian Buckfortite during the Oisin's Rebellion Prince Leopold de Joannes personally led the Sedanian soldiers in the three major engagements, earning himself valuable combat experience and cemented him as a capable battlefield commander.

The realm is ruled by the Prince, Leopold de Joannes and his Government, with the main branch being the Privy Council. Also underneath the Prince are his loyal vassals. They are tasked with ensuring order within his realm, as well as serving it in any way they can, in exchange peers and their kin receive special privileges. Some aspects of Sedan's peerage are very similar to the ones of Oren and Haense. This is because of the cultural and roleplay influences that the two nations had on its formation. The Privy Council of Sedan is made up of six positions, not including the Prince. They are as follows: The Chancellor: The head of the Privy Council and the Sovereign's Representative. The Vice Chancellor: The second in command of the Privy Council, and representative of the Chancellor in their time of absence. The Lord Treasurer: The Financial Counsellor of the Principality. They are put in-charge of all the economic affairs of the realm. The High Steward: The Chief Housing Councillor of the Principality. They are put in-charge of all the city management affairs within the Royal Capital. The Lord Marshal: The Chief Military Councillor of the Principality. They head the Goats of Sedan, as well as the military as a whole. The Lord Justicar: The Legal Counsellor of the Principality. They preside over Sedan's Legal court. You can find additional information on the Government structure, including Privy Council duties in the Sedan Law Codex below, although it is still in progress. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NERYABKLvGvuX59Y9jWP6h1Yl-4nH8ru2iaAo3B48yc/edit?usp=sharing Settlement Builds and Infrastructure (photos required): How does this settlement offer a unique niche not already found in an existing polity on the server?: Despite the rise of bureaucratic kingdoms of the humanlands, Sedan uniquely has maintained the practice of a strong tradition of martial culture and a focus on military excellence. In following the classical mannerbundic practices and systems (such as, the ancient Teutonic Order, White Rose, OSL, Decterum, Akovian Brigade, Gold Corps, etc.), Sedan may be acutely defined as a "military with a state" rather than a "state with a military". Martial excellence is crucial to Sedanian society- every boy starting at the age of 10 is given military training and expected to serve within the ranks of the Goats. Sedan Lore Post (Unfinished) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uurFyVHb-VzEg6kC8ePuWFtg5kIR2-5kvbGsGRMK_p0/edit How does your settlement tie to the greater lore and narrative set by the community on LotC?: Sedan has been providing quality roleplay for the whole server since its rebellion in March of 2021. We have strived to be an active community and provide good quality roleplay for everyone. With our new settlement, we'd promote our materialistic roleplay and it'd continue the narrative of the Sedan rebellion and set up for some interesting roleplay. Have you ever run a settlement on LoTC before and what experience do you have with leadership within roleplay communities among the current groups of players?: I have run many settlements, starting from freebuild communities dating back to 2018. My first charter (settlement) rolled around in 2019 when I led a small town called Ravensburg with a few friends .The next group I led was Ludovar in 2020 during quarantine where I learned lots of lessons about leading and being a roleplay leader.. Ludovar ended up running the hamlet of Johnstown towards the end of the map. Do you understand the metrics for maintaining activity and the grounds for settlement removal, along with the standing polity cap?: Yes SEDAN IS TILE_86

_______________________________________________________________________ "You fear the opposition because you fear the loss of your power." Gustaven von Halsfield, 1813 _______________________________________________________________________ Fresh posters were plastered on every building amongst Providence. It was clear that the person who had hung these did so recently. If one was to pass by or inspect it closely, the subject matter of said poster would depict the phrase: I WANT YOU TO FIGHT AGAINST TYRANNY Pictured in the center of the poster is a drawn depiction of Resistance leader Ser Gustaven von Halsfield wearing what appears to be his uniform. He can be seen pointing towards whomever might find themselves glancing towards the poster as if he was trying to convey the fact that he's personally speaking to them specifically. The look in Gustaven's eyes would be that of fierce determination. It is clear that the poster's motive is to spread awareness about the existence of an anti-tyrannical government force - specifically the Resistance against Oren - whose openly oppositional to the current ruling group. Located at the bottom of each and every individual poster are contact details for those interested in perhaps involving themselves within the Resistance: ((I can be reached on Discord: Pharmaceutical Grade Chlymydia#1514 - there are combat AND non-combat related positions open in the Resistance!

Is Your Home Worth Fighting For?
__________________________________________________________________________________ "They gambled with other people's liberty, and so lost their own" Gustaven von Halsfield, 1813 __________________________________________________________________________________ Fresh posters were plastered on every building amongst Providence. It was clear that the person who had hung these did so recently. If one was to pass by or inspect it closely, the subject matter of said poster would depict the phrase: IS YOUR HOME WORTH FIGHTING FOR? IT WILL BE TOO LATE TO FIGHT WHEN THE ENEMY IS AT YOUR DOOR RESIST! Pictured in the center of the poster is a wonderfully-crafted drawing of what resembles the typical noble family. Within the family was a small girl, a daughter perhaps - likely no older than seven or eight. The family seemed to be inside their well-off estate, evident by the luxurious architecture and room design; if your eyes were to trail to the family's front door, you would immediately notice two ISA soldiers bursting in with weapons drawn. The sense of fear was greatly expressed on the painted families features: the details of tears could be seen on the daughters eyes; the mother was distraught with terror, turning to flee. It's obviously clear that the ISA soldiers are entering the house with malignant intentions, one of them is even drawn grinning smugly as he rushes towards the family with his weapon drawn. The words above and under the painting were of a bold, black variety, obviously to pop out to the reader in an effort to catch their attention. It is clear that the poster's motive was to create fear amongst the nobles; to show how even they are not protected from the evils associated with the Empire. That they could easily be victims to these vile beings if they choose to neglect the problem at hand. The poster's insinuating that if we - as a people - don't stand together to fight against those above us, then it will be soon too late. __________________________________________________________________________________ ((Previous post, Cries for Revolution: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/199201-cries-for-revolution)) ((Previous post, O' Beautiful Providence: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/199510-o-beautiful-providence-a-critical-treatise)) ((Previous post, The Resistance Against Oren: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/199659-the-resistance-against-oren)) ((Previous post, The Greatest of all Evils: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/199915-the-greatest-of-all-evils)) ((Previous post, Is the Rejection of Tyranny an Act of Terrorism: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/200158-is-the-rejection-of-tyranny-an-act-of-terrorism))
Is the Rejection of Tyranny an Act of Terrorism
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Politics are a means of which for somebody to feel powerful in a world where they themselves are truly powerless." Gustaven von Halsfield, 1811 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [!] Nailed to the wall at various parts within Providence - chiefly the front of the tavern - are copies of some type of semi-brief treatise: Throughout our beloved empire I see a false narrative. A narrative that attempts to sway the very people that we live, bleed, and die for; a narrative which tries to convince them to believe that we are the ones that they must fear. Terrorists, they call us; such a word being thrown loosely to label us as something that the empire cares not for. The complete irony of that particular label being thrust upon us is near enough to provoke one to fall face first down in laughter. Well, nonetheless, I for one certainly am not a terrorist. If anything, I am a simple man with agreeable ideals that merely are to better the Empire, to better our society; Is that unreasonable? Does that warrant me - and others whom are likeminded - to be thought of as "terrorists?" Firstly, is it not a terrorist who conspires amongst themselves to benefit from those they deem below them, purposefully taking advantage of their misfortunes? Power is the goal of the terrorist, one will do whatever it takes to seize said power from those willing to give it up; and for those that are unwilling to give it up, terrorists will employ much more forceful methods to acquire said power. Is it not a terrorist who creates a disorderly environment, or deceives their fellow peers to create fear subconsciously within their minds in order to compel them to mindlessly obey them for those whom are victims have no other choice; they're coerced - by fear - to latch onto those who terrorize them, these victims are driven by this fear, mistakenly convinced that there is no alternative. Is it not a terrorist who strikes fear in the heart of those which suffer from their actions? Whether the suffering of those victims be intentional or not, the terrorist will purposefully create an environment which promotes this sense of fear, for if the populace they're terrorizing fears them then they shan't rebel against them; fear is a tool used to destroy hope, without hope there will be no chance for opposition against the threat. Lastly, is it not a terrorist who foolishly takes justice into their own hands, misconstruing it to benefit them and only them, holding those who openly oppose these terrorists accountable for crimes that of which they themselves did not commit, choosing to punish them for said crimes without even holding a trial on their behalf, much like the Empire does; A mockery of the justice system. Why insist on having such a practice established - that being the justice system - if it's never utilized! Justice is a concept which is foreign to the Empire, evidenced by the recent transgressions taken against the Falstaff family; Daniel de Falstaff recently being executed without even the privilege of a proper trial offered to them. Regardless of which side you align yourself with you cannot deny that Falstaff deserved a proper trial. Nonetheless, I digress: Terrorists rule through terror. A true terrorist has the minds of the people held captive, able to mold even an iron-will like butter in order to have their personal ambitions seen. They do this tactic through inspiring fear within the populace and crushing their will. The Empire are who are the true terrorists in this situation. We are not terrorists. We are an entity, against another entity. Terrorists have but only one goal, to inflict terror and havoc; that's not our objective .. fundamentally at my core I am a man of harmless nature, I impose no threats, I am a dreamer. I yearn for our society to advance into proper modernism where we all can live in the paradise known as prosperity and economic opportunity. For that to happen we must kill this entity, or subdue it, for the betterment of us all; to change the very grounds that Oren is built on. If that requires our blood, guts and death then so be it! Let it rain blood, let it rain guts, and let it rain death! That is for the Empire to decide whether they wish to spill the blood of innocents or not. Tell me, fellow Orenians; do tell me what you see as you walk through those 'illustrious' alleys of Providence and look to the ISA: those wolves in sheep's clothing that pounce through the streets, ready to strike those who do not conform. These 'men' - or more-so fussing toddlers - exclaim that we are an enemy to the Empire, but yet, we are not the ones who murder our fellow companions in cold blood, or threaten innocents due to their different opinions. In fact, the true terrorists among you wear a badge and uniform. These wolves disguise themselves as good men and are the very same ones which manipulate our lives. We all walk on hot coal to appease their lustful urge for control. Say that the beatings that occur ever so commonly at hand of the ISA in our streets are too much for one to keep their eyes held to. Divert your attention to those beautiful walls; the ones now covered with poster after poster spreading propaganda to every passerby. "Obey the Law. The Imperial State Army is watching", says a poster that greets every man, woman and child entering Providence. The Empire is employing the tactic of fear mongering to control us, to keep us in line. Using a statement such as, "they are watching" creates paranoia subconsciously. We fear that if we do something "wrong" within their eyes then we will instantly be caught and punished for disobeying the sheep mindset they instill in us. Those of us within their society are designed to be a flock of sheep, and the Empire are the herders; telling us where to go, what to think, and what to fear. "They brainwash young men into becoming worker bees," - all of those within the Empire working under the same hive-mind; that of which is a statement that was provided to us by one of those very same brainwashed men of the military himself. This usage of propaganda to manipulate us doesn't stop there .. there are dozens of posters, similar in nature to the one mentioned above, which are present up-and-down the streets of Providence. No longer, I say, no longer! It's high-time for us to open our eyes, to look past these posters of propaganda which litter the beautiful city of Providence that we know and love. I say that we look past these posters, which pollute our minds; to think for ourselves! I encourage you, those belonging to the Empire, sit down tonight in your homes and think for yourself: Who's truly the terrorist in this situation? Who's betrayed your trust, causing you to fear them rather than to respect them? Who neglects your rights and interferes with you in your pursuit for prosperity and spiritual success? The manipulation and fear-tactics that the Empire employs is more terroristic than merely expressing grievances of our government which is what I - and many others like me - do. Is rejection of tyranny truly an act of terrorism? Are my harmless words and grievances manipulating the hundreds of citizens of the Empire? Am I insinuating fear or terror in order to receive compliance for my cause? No, I am doing no such things, so then why would one consider me - and others like me - a threat to the Empire? I'll leave you all with this: Does the ISA create fear? Yes. Do they force you to comply with their unjust ideals and unrighteous cause? Yes. Do they impede your right to life, liberty and prosperity? Indeed they do. Those things are truly what terrorism is, not any of my actions. Aforementioned, I am a man of harmless nature, I impose no threats, I am but a dreamer. I'll say this once, but never again .. for those of you whom are listening, do understand: The rejection of tyranny is not an act of terrorism. Dutifully signed, Ser Gustaven von Halsfield, Baron of Huvaardia - a proud Sedanite who isn't afraid of speaking truths. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ((Previous post, Cries for Revolution: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/199201-cries-for-revolution)) ((Previous post, O' Beautiful Providence: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/199510-o-beautiful-providence-a-critical-treatise)) ((Previous post, The Resistance Against Oren: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/199659-the-resistance-against-oren)) ((Previous post, The Greatest of all Evils: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/199915-the-greatest-of-all-evils))
A Game of Cards
neoroseo posted a topic in Holy Orenian Empire
War. War is a funny thing, isn't it? Unstable, bendable. And something that can be resolved by the very one's who've started it. One may compare war to cards. A good game of cards may very well end badly With a single victor, The rest of the players are crushed. Perhaps, perhaps that is why there is a card game named War. Most do not trust war. And some, some do not trust cards. I myself do not trust cards, For a single little card game landed me the scars of burns upon my face. Scars one may get from battle. An unneeded one, with many losses, For pride. Just as one would play cards, For pride. And monetary gain, of course. Which can be said for war as well, And all those who lead it. Well, usually that is. Signed, Mirabella Violet Ave Sedan
An Empire versus a Child
A place for all, or a place for none. Which is it? To some, it's a place of freedom. For someone such as I, it's considered a prison. Me, a child, hiding from an empire. Who thought it would ever come to this? A single child, an orphan. I know I would most likely be killed if I were to turn myself in, it is simply not an option. Even if you did realize your mistakes. I will remember this for the rest of my days. Three acts of treason hung over my head like a noose made of rat chewed rope, That will snap once weight is put upon it, Setting its prisoner running free. Albeit with some neck pain of course, no? Oren is claimed to be a place where one can speak freely, yet my free speech is punished. Is it because I am a lesser to them? Simply an elf to be shut up? Or because I'm a woman, though I am still hardly one at this young age. Being young doesn't forbid me from having opinions. And you know that, don't you? Of course you do. For you want people to follow you, as mindless drones to listen to every word you speak from your wretched mouth. And echo in monotone, 'Oren is surely the best nation.' Alas, you have not made a drone out of me, have you? No, no you have not. Signed, Mirabella Violet Ave Sedan
A Young Elf's View on Oren
Oren. Lovely, lovely Oren. A shining Ruby of a city. A Ruby I wish were shattered. Oren is a place of beauty, misery, and corruption. It's a glimmering stone, with a tainted inside. Providence, how clean it is, how well mannered their people are. It is a sham. They know it. A place of lies and hidden harm to those who DARE try and expose its truth. A place. I would call home. For six years of the measly thirteen I have been around for. Where I would've been nearly killed, had it been for some kind dwarves. A haunted doll, a poltergeist, they killed for me. And what happened after. The ISA ran the dwarves out. I was young, seven then. I was disguised as a human for two years. I was treated better than then I am now, as an elf. My ears, clipped, by hazy and unknown faces, and a family I have no memory of. gone. I grew to have pride in the city of Providence, yet I've always known it was a terrible, terrible place. The ISA is seen as the greatest issue within the Empire, but it's so much more. The nobles, a cruel clique one is simply born into by chance. They're friendly, yet try to poison one another, for what? More gain? Wealth? To be able to say their enemy was rid of? It's all horrid to see, and hear of. I say this now, after going other places. The oh so scary Sedan. A refuge to those who need it, as I see it. Just before I finished writing this, an ISA soldier pulled his sword on me, for simply going in the direction of the city. I denounce Oren as my home it once was. If I would even call it a home. Consider me a traitor. Try to kill me. Ave Prince Louis of Sedan Ave Sedan Signed, Mirabella Violet

Because of the ease with which we perceive, many people see perception as something that "just happens." However, even seemingly simple perceptual experiences involve complex underlying mechanisms, which are often hidden from our conscious experience. These mechanisms are being investigated by researchers and theorists in fields such as psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, computer science, and philosophy. A few examples of the questions posed by these investigations are, What do infants perceive? How does perception develop? What do perceptual disorders reveal about normal functioning? How can information from one sense, such as hearing, be affected by information from another sense, such as vision? How is the information from all of our senses combined to result in our perception of a coherent environment? What are some practical outcomes of basic research in perception? These are just a few of the questions this encyclopedia will consider, as it presents a comprehensive overview of the field of perception for students, researchers, and professionals in psychology, the cognitive sciences, neuroscience, and related medical disciplines such as neurology and ophthalmology.
"....Written by experts in the field-academics, physicians, and researchers-and edited by Goldstein (psychology, Univ. of Pittsburgh), the approximately 375 articles in this two-volume set present exhaustive information and research about perception and the senses through which we perceive: visual, auditory, olfactory, taste, and touch.... BOTTOM LINE: Previous reference titles such as Irving B. Weiner's Handbook of Psychology or the Encyclopedia of Human Emotions give comparatively brief coverage of perception and limit the information to biological/sensory perception or physiology and perception. A valuable addition to reference collections and a necessity for psychology collections."

The front is dominated by commanding air inlets and the wide M double-bridge kidney grille, which indicate the vehicle's enormous potential.
Rounded off by striking headlights, the dynamic character is further emphasised by a coupé-like silhouette, M side skirts and a two-part crease line. The optional 21" M light alloy wheels in powerful wheel housings are simply raring to go. The muscular shoulder line culminates in an eye-catching rear spoiler. Directly below are the M rear apron and the diffuser, which are surrounded by a pair of gleaming double tailpipe finishers to bring things to a sporty end.

The optional M multifunctional seats with high side bolsters make you want to search for the next tight bend immediately.
The 3-spoke M leather steering wheel with integrated gearshift paddles offers ideal grip even when you change direction sharply. The M gearshift lever and the driving dynamics buttons are orientated towards the driver and located in the centre console, where they are flanked by knee-pads for increased comfort even when you take things to the limit. This is the motorsport facet of the BMW X6 M. An additional facet is characterised by exclusive materials, such as the full-leather Aragon Brown upholstery and the high-gloss trim finishers in carbon or fine-wood – just some of the details that reflect the luxurious qualities of the BMW X6 M.
Clear structures, top-quality ergonomics and an unbeatable view: In the cockpit of the BMW X6 M, the driver and front-seat passengers are transformed into pilots.
