"Ol' Red" Sang by George Jones and Blake Shelton
"Ol' Red" is a song that James "Bo" Bohan, Don Goodman and Mark Sherrill composed. Originally, George Jones included the track on his album You Oughta Be Here with Me in 1990. Three years after, Kenny Rogers covered the single on his 1993 album If Only My Heart Had a Voice. In August 1993, Warner Brothers Nashville released Rogers' version as a single. Lastly, Blake Shelton made his own version in 2002. It was the third and final single released from his self-titled debut album. In addition, "Ol' Red" became a top 20 hit.
Shelton's version of the song includes a backing vocal from Rachel Proctor. Although his cover did not reach the Top Ten, "Ol' Red" is one of Blake Shelton's most commonly requested songs. Also, Blake admitted that it is his signature song.
"Ol' Red" and his Caretaker
The character in the song is a prisoner serving a 99-year sentence for committing a crime of passion. He murdered the man with whom his wife was having an affair. Two years into his captivity, the warden offers him a job taking care of Ol' Red, a Bloodhound. The dog happens to be used by the prison guards to track escaping inmates. Having a great sense of smell, this watchdog has outwitted every breakout attempt on his watch. At times, to outsmart the prisoners with the creature's antics, the warden dares the inmates to make such attempts.
After some time, the narrator writes a letter to his cousin. To have the mail delivered, he bribed one of the guards. Not long enough, his cousin delivers an unnamed female Bluetick Coonhound and places her in a pen not too far from the prison. During Ol' Red's evening exercise runs, the inmate pairs him up with the Bluetick. After Ol' Red has become accustomed to these visits, the captive keeps him away from the female dog for several days. He intentionally does this in order to make him anxious to see her.
Soon enough, the prisoner escapes knowing that Ol' Red will lead the pursuing wardens to the Bluetick instead of following his trail. At the last part of the song, the lines reveal that the getaway was successful as the narrator heads north to Tennessee. Ol' Red and the Bluetick had a litter of puppies and they lived happily ever after.
The Chorus
And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes
Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the South
Love got me in here and love got me out

De Henri Dunant was een internationale TGV tussen Parijs en Genève. De trein is genoemd naar Henri Dunant, Zwitsers bankier en oprichter van het Rode Kruis.

TGV
Op 27 september 1981 werd de eerste hogesnelheidslijn in gebruik genomen tussen Parijs en Lyon, met een aftakking bij Mâcon richting Genève. De SNCF begonnen met twee slagen per dag naar Genève wat tot 1986 geleidelijk werd opgevoerd tot vijf slagen per dag. Deze TGV's werden in de dienstregeling als IC opgenomen en kregen, net als de TEE treinen ook allemaal een naam. De dienst werd uitgevoerd met TGV Sud-Est treinstellen.

EuroCity
Op 31 mei 1987 ging het EuroCity net van start en de Franse spoorwegen besloten de internationale TGV's, waaronder de Henri Dunant, als EuroCity te laten rijden. Op 17 mei 2003 zijn de namen van de EuroCity's tussen Frankrijk en Zwitserland vervallen en is de exploitatie als naamloze TGV voortgezet.

A leading provider of packaging machines was experiencing repeated motor failures with their pick-and-place robots, facing substantial replacement costs on a regular basis.
The company chose Maplesoft to develop a high-fidelity parameterized model of the robot. Using MapleSim, the company simulated the robot's operation and used Maple to understand the exact cause of failure in hopes of finding a cost-effective solution.
The results from MapleSim showed the company a solution they were unaware of - instead of replacing motors in every robot, they could modify the robot motion profiles to reduce the moments of greatest motor torque. The company was able to essentially apply a software update to what was previously expected to be costly, on-site hardware replacements for larger motors. Going forward, they are using their MapleSim models for other robots, minimizing the high costs of over-engineered components and unexpected on-site repairs.
Industrial automation is on the rise, with machines performing more complicated tasks every day. Designing these complex industrial machines is a challenging process. Engineers need to ensure that the machine they design meets many different performance objectives for productivity, workspace, maneuverability, payload, and so on. At the same time, they also need to develop a design that will minimize both production and maintenance costs, such as using the smallest possible motors and the shortest links for robot arms, and minimizing loading to reduce the wear and tear that leads to expensive repairs and downtime. In light of so many complexities, organizations will over-engineer products, investing in more costly components to reduce unforeseen failures. Others will try to minimize costs, but are more likely to face expensive on-site repairs when unexpected failures occur. System-level modeling offers a third option, providing analysis and deep insight into product performance long before physical prototypes.
What is the proper motor sizing for the robot in all operating conditions?
What lengths should the links be to achieve the desired workspace?
What effect will different combinations of link lengths have on the design?
What is the required performance from the motor and gearbox in different use cases?
The Maplesoft Engineering Solutions team created a set of analysis tools in Maple to provide the company with deep insight into their design, ensuring that their product is neither over-engineered nor prone to unexpected failure. Taking advantage of the fully parametric MapleSim model and Maple's symbolic computation engine, the tools enable the company to perform simulations across various operating conditions to determine the best combinations of design parameters.
The first design tool developed by Maplesoft enabled the company to perform kinematic analysis. The kinematic analysis allowed them to check the robot's workspace, visualize its motion, and determine any required path offsets. The robot motion is affected by whether the robot's elbow is configured to be on the right side or the left side. One of the features of the kinematic analysis tool was to perform the inverse kinematics calculations, and evaluate for both elbow positions. By observing its behavior in both cases, the company was able to make an informed decision about which side to place the elbow – a decision which was then carried forward and applied to all further analyses.
While the company naturally wanted to use the smallest motors possible, they also had to ensure that the motors they selected would still meet the robot's performance goals. The Maplesoft Engineering Solutions team developed an analysis tool to assist the company with motor sizing. The speed, torque, and energy of the motors were determined and plotted, then overlaid on the manufacturer's performance curves for the targeted motors. The motor performance curves were selected from a list of possible motor data imported into Maple. For each of the motors, the company could then compare simulated results with data for different motors from the manufacturer's specifications. Using the analysis tool, the company was able to consider different motor configurations capable of performing within the desired range. A similar approach of overlaying the manufacturer's data on simulated data was taken to explore the gearbox limits and the selection of different gear ratios.
Another analysis tool developed by Maplesoft was a parameter sweep to observe the effects of different link lengths on the operation of the robot. Simulating the model with different link length configurations within a pre-determined permissible range enabled the company to observe the corresponding effects on performance characteristics such as motor speed, torque, load requirements, and workspace variations. Maple automatically makes use of parallel processing, allowing the user's computer to simultaneously run multiple simulations using different parameter values, and then presents the results overlaid in a visualization window for quick and easy comparison.
The Maplesoft Engineering Solutions team developed a highly configurable solution that helped the company address challenges and unexpected costs they faced when designing industrial pick-and-place robots. Developing a fully parametric system model in MapleSim provided access to all the system parameters required to analyze and optimize the behavior of the system. Maple's symbolic computation engine enabled the development of a wealth of analysis tools that explored the relationships between system parameters, and their effects on the overall performance. This new approach shed light on solutions the company didn't know existed, with overall costs just a small fraction of their previous techniques for robot motor repairs. The parametric models are also being modified and used across various pick-and-place robot designs, reducing potential failures and over-engineered parts early in the design process.


2 dimensional barcodes are increasingly used across the supply chain in many different sectors including the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries in conjunction with the new Unique Device Identification (UDI) legislation, and the EU Falsified Medicine Directive (FMD). Weyfringe can help ensure your barcodes are always within specification with the Axicon 15000 verifier that is capable of verifying both Linear (1D) and 2D barcodes.
Effective barcode verification requires the correct equipment and properly trained operators. Weyfringe can supply Axicon 15000 barcode verifiers capable of decoding ECC200 and GS1 Datamatrix 2D barcodes (NHS UDI barcodes) alongside many more 1 and 2 dimensional barcodes. The verifiers are manufactured and certified to ISO/IEC 15415, ISO/IEC 15416, ISO/IEC 15426-1 and ISO/IEC 15426-2. Weyfringe also offer an operator training service to ensure you understand how to use the verification equipment correctly and make adjustments to your barcode print quality to address any issues you may encounter.
For Unique Device Identification (UDI) the Axicon Series 15000 software can check the correct Application Identifiers (AI) have been used. It will also show if it is suitable for retail, distribution, point of sale or bedside.
This is particularly important for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries due to the latest legislation from the International Medical Device Regulator Forum (IMDRF), the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Commission including the NHS. This aims for a globally harmonised and consistent approach to increase patient safety and help optimise patient care through legislation for Unique Device Identification (UDI) including device registration with the Global UDI Database (GUDID). If you supply medicines and medical equipment to the NHS, or export to mainland Europe or the U.S your products will be required to carry barcodes containing specific information.
GS1 has been accredited as a Device Identifier (DI) issuing agency and GS1 standards for identification and barcoding conform to all UDI requirements such as; the barcode symbols to use, the product data to be included in the barcode, the data that must be stored in the GUDID (such as Device Identifier, Device Characteristics and Device Status etc.) and the product identification at each level of the packaging hierarchy (e.g. single unit package, multiple unit package & case). Barcode symbols used throughout the healthcare and pharmaceutical supply chain are both Linear (1D) and 2D. Currently both ECC200 Datamatrix (containing no Application Identifiers (AI) and GS1 Datamatrix (containing Application Identifiers) 2D codes are used for UDI compliance. The NHS in the UK use GS1 Datamatrix barcodes, sometimes referred to as NHS UDI barcodes.
Weyfringe, as GS1 UK accredited solution partners, are ideally placed to help you conform with the latest regulations. Our Barcode Masters who have spent many years in the industry working in production, customer support and sales sectors are independently trained and assessed to GS1 international barcode and labelling standards. Our Barcode Masters will be happy to answer your questions and provide sensible advice.
Axicon 15000 verifiers are capable of verifying both linear (1 dimensional) and 2 dimensional barcodes (within maximum image size of 51mm x 31mm) including EAN-8 & 13, GS1 DataMatrix and GS1 QR Code. Larger size barcodes can be decoded with other Axicon verifiers up to a maximum width of 195mm (the largest GS1 specification barcode is a maximum of 165mm wide including light margins). Supplied with software capable of producing reports for each barcode verified including an image of the barcode that can be saved or printed. The software can also automatically save all of these files if this is required for ISO: 9001 traceability requirements and due diligence.

Trial Basics in Criminal Proceedings
How to Appeal Your Guilty Sentence
The Most Important Motions in Criminal Cases
After many weeks or months of preparation, the prosecutor is ready for the most important part of his job: the trial. The trial is a structured process where the facts of a case are presented to a jury, and they decide if the defendant is guilty or not guilty of the charge offered. During trial, the prosecutor uses witnesses and evidence to prove to the jury that the defendant committed the crime(s). The defendant, represented by an attorney, also tells his side of the story using witnesses and evidence.
In a trial, the judge — the impartial person in charge of the trial — decides what evidence can be shown to the jury. A judge is similar to a referee in a game, he's not there to play for one side or the other but to make sure the entire process is played fairly.
At trial, one of the first things a prosecutor and defense attorney must do is the selection of jurors for the case. Jurors are selected to listen to the facts of the case and to determine if the defendant committed the crime. Twelve jurors are selected randomly from the jury pool (also called the "venire"), a list of potential jurors compiled from voter registration records of people living in the Federal district.
When selecting the jury, the prosecutor and defense attorney may not discriminate against any group of people. For example, the judge will not allow them to select only men or only women. A jury should represent all types of people, races, and cultures. Both lawyers are allowed to ask questions about their potential biases and may excuse jurors from service. Each side is allowed to excuse certain potential jurors without providing a reason by using a limited number of "peremptory challenges."
Opening Statements
Opening statements allow the prosecutor and the defense attorney to briefly tell their account of the events. These statements usually are short like an outline and do not involve witnesses or evidence. The prosecutor makes an opening statement first because the Government has the burden of proving that the defendant committed the crime.
Presentment of Cases
Witness Examination
Following opening statements, the prosecutor begins direct examination of his first witness. This is the prosecutor's initial step in attempting to prove the case, and it can last from a few minutes to several days. During direct examination, the prosecutor can introduce evidence such as a weapon or something from the crime scene.
Following the prosecutor's examination of a witness, the defense attorney has an opportunity to cross examine or ask questions to the same witness. The purpose of cross examination is to create doubt as to the credibility of the witness.
After the defense attorney cross examines the witness, the prosecutor asks the witness final questions to clarify any confusing testimony for the jury. This is called redirect examination. Once the process of direct examination, cross examination, and redirect of all the witnesses is complete, the prosecutor rests his case. After the prosecutor rests, no more witnesses can be called to the stand or evidence introduced by the State.
After the State rests, the defense has the opportunity to present witnesses and evidence to the jury. The defense also has the option of not having the defendant testify. There is no burden upon the defendant to prove that he is innocent. It is the government's responsibility to prove the defendant committed the crime as detailed in the indictment. The fact that a defendant did not testify may not be considered by the jury as proof that the defendant committed the crime. The defense may also waive his case. If the defense does not put on any evidence, the jury cannot assume that the defendant is guilty simply because they did not put on a defense. The decision to put on a defense is solely up to the defendant and the defense attorney. However, the defense will usually present its own version of the case.
During direct or cross examination, either attorney can make an objection to a question or a piece of evidence to the judge. For example, a prosecutor or defense attorney may object to the wide range of the direct examination because it is beyond the knowledge of the witness, the attorney may be arguing with the witness rather than asking questions, or the witness may be talking about things irrelevant to the case.
Common objections include:
Statement by a witness who did not see or hear the incident in question but learned about it through secondhand information such as another's statement, a newspaper, or a document.
Testimony and evidence presented at trial must be relevant to the case.
The judge decides the outcome of an objection, sometimes after allowing attorneys on both sides to comment before making a ruling. The judge either "sustains" the objection so that the action stops, or he "overrules" the objection and allows the action to continue.
Closing Arguments
After the defense's direct testimony and cross examination by the prosecutor of all the witnesses, the defense rests, and the prosecutor and defense attorney prepare for closing arguments.
Closing arguments are the final opportunity for the prosecutor and the defense attorney to talk to the jury. These arguments allow both attorneys to summarize the testimony and evidence, and ask the jury to return a verdict of guilty or not guilty.
Jury Instructions
Following the closing arguments, the judge "charges the jury," or informs them of the appropriate law and of what they must do to reach a verdict.
Jury Deliberations & Announcement of the Verdict
After being charged, the jury goes into deliberation, the process of deciding whether a defendant is guilty or not guilty. During this process, no one associated with the trial can contact the jury without the judges and lawyers. If the jury has a question on the law, they must write a note to the judge, which the judge will read in court with all parties present. In federal criminal trials, the jury must reach a unanimous decision in order to convict the defendant.
After they reach an agreement on a verdict, they notify the judge, the lawyers, and the defendant in open court. Everyone is present in court for the reading of the verdict. The baliff is present during trial to protect the judge and prosecutors from potential harm. If the defendant is found not guilty, they are usually free to go home.

Are these logs about mobile cellular services start and stop? Any help would be appreciated.

A: Answering half part:
ContextImpl: Calling a method in the system process without a qualified user: android.app.ContextImpl.sendBroadcast:
This warning comes when some system process is using methods like sendBroadcast, startActivity etc. To avoid this system process need to use methods with user handle,
like startActivityAsUser, sendBroadcastAsUser.
Rationality behind this using AsUser variant method allows to have user specific restrictions.
These warning are harmless as of now.
For logs from motorola, not sure regarding them. One way to check them is trying airplane mode on off or data on off and see if they are coming.

Politicians rise up against monarchy
Two high-profile politicians representing the most staunchly monarchist parties in Norway have spoken out against the institution of royalty in a new book to be released on Tuesday. The outspoken deputy leader of the Progress Party (Fremskrittspartiet, FrP), Per Sandberg, said anyone concerned with democracy should be against the monarchy, while for the first time ever a Conservative (Høyre) politician, Trade Minister Monica Mæland, voiced support for a republic.

In a book to be released on Tuesday, Mæland became the first Conservative politician to reveal she is against the monarchy, and thinks Norway should have a democratically-elected head of state. PHOTO: Nærings- og Handelsdepartementet/Trond Viken
The revelations came during interviews for the book, The Republic of Norway (Republikken Norge) by respected political commentator Kjetil Bragli Alstadheim, who works for newspaper Dagens Næringsliv (DN). Both Sandberg and Mæland would rather have a democratically elected head of state, despite broad public support for the royals.
Mæland participates in the weekly Council of State at the royal palace nearly every Friday and often travels with members of the royal family on diplomatic missions, most recently to Vietnam and Turkey. Nevertheless, she holds a different view about the relevance of the monarchy than her Conservative colleagues.
In 2001 at a young Conservatives meeting, Mæland called the monarchy undemocratic and antiquated. In Alstadheim's book she stepped back somewhat from the strength of those statements, but said she still believed Norway should be a republic.
"The problem with the debate about the form of government in Norway is that it gets too personal, concentrating on the royals themselves rather than the system," she said. "It's challenging. I myself feel uncomfortable discussing it because it can be perceived as speaking against the royal family, and I'm really not doing that. I have such enormous respect for the efforts they make. And I know how important that job is."
"It is not something I dwell on, because I'm not actively promoting another form of government," she said. "A republic is not relevant now, and we're going to have this form of government into the foreseeable future. It is solemn and great to participate in the Council of State at the palace. I have great respect for the royal family and the wonderful professional job they do which is important for Norway."
Undemocratic monarchy
Per Sandberg, meanwhile, was much more forceful and told Alstadheim that anyone concerned with democracy should oppose the monarchy. "I was raised to think that you should choose your leaders," he said. "If you dig into people's consciousness, they will agree with me on that." Sandberg said the popularity of the royal family, particularly the late king Olav, meant the republican movement hadn't gained traction.
Sandberg added there was no question that he was very fond of the reigning monarch, King Harald. "For me it's about principles," he said. "The majority of voters would agree that people should choose their leaders."
Too political
Sandberg also argued that what he sees as the increasing political involvement of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit was cause for concern, especially because he claimed the royal couple was too left-leaning. "That just strengthens my position that we should not have a monarchy," he said. "It will lead to more and more people becoming republicans. In that sense it is okay for me that the crown prince and princess become stronger, more visible and clearer on their political standpoint, because that will strengthen the argument we do not need a royal house."
"The royal couple is on the left of Norwegian politics, especially on environmental, climate, immigration and some questions of values," Sandberg continued. "I note that Haakon and Mette-Marit act aggressively in public in these relationships." He referred to a trip the crown princess took to India in 2012, after a gay couple who were friends of Mette-Marit could not get visas in time to collect their twin children born by surrogacy, which is illegal in Norway. Mette-Marit used her diplomatic passport to enter India and take care of the twins.
"They are not elected, so they should be neutral," said Sandberg. "When the monarchy begins to get a certain bias, that becomes problematic, because they have influence."
Mæland did not back Sandberg's statements about political activity and potential bias by the crown couple, who she said should be allowed to live their lives according to their own personal principles.
The Progress Party's leader, Siv Jensen, told DN that Sandberg's position was news to her, and she personally supports the monarchy. The Conservatives' leader, Prime Minister Erna Solberg. would not comment on whether Mæland's republican leanings were discussed before she was chosen to sit at the King's council, but said through state secretary Sigbjørn Aanes that the government supports the monarchy. The royal palace itself declined to comment.

Campaign Concepts- Pathfinder: Outcasts Part 2- Player's Guide I: Character Creation and Traits
Continuing my exploration of an unofficial Adventure Path for Pathfinder RPG. The following is the first part of what would be a Player's Guide highlighting character creation and campaign traits in the proud Paizo tradition.
Character Tips
Your friends are all you have left.
Whatever you did that caused you to become a pariah in your hometown, you've come to realize that only your traveling companions can truly be relied on for allies, comrades, even friends. But that doesn't mean you've found a home. Far from it. You've left Cheliax behind, and the lot of you have had to keep running.
While pooling storylines that Paizo and 3rd party companies have written in the past, Outcasts doesn't resemble Paizo's brilliant adventure paths in structure nearly as much as it does in spirit. But Player's Guides have helped build PCs that fit with the themes and stories of past Adventure Paths. So, below are several things to keep in mind while designing characters for Outcasts.
Pariahs: For whatever reason, the PCs are pariahs and monsters, cast out of their various homelands and on the run for some reason or another. The characters are in search of a home, but could come from nearly any background. In addition to the following campaign
traits, resources like Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea World Guide and nearly any Pathfinder Player's Companion will be invaluable to help build your character.
Class Tips: This campaign will take you through a number of dungeons and cities. Knowledge (local) and racial low-light vision or darkvision might come in handy.
Classes that rely on animal companions or mounts might find Large creatures a liability in tight underground corridors or when interacting in some civilized environments, but that should not be the reason to avoid those classes. Social classes should also do well, if only to smooth over the common people's (read: mob) interaction with the party.
The Bad Guys: Outcasts features the gamut of monster types, so be ready for
anything! You'll face many different creature types— from vermin, humanoids, and fey at low levels to giants, undead, constructs, aberrations, and evil outsiders at higher levels. But more than anything, the most common enemy will always be the regular humans around you. They don't like you, will try to scare you off or hunt you down, so be prepared for them first.
In Outcasts, the players have been cast out of their respective societies- either through deed, choice, or birth. They've banded together to seek kinship, assistance, and a refuge from a world that doesn't allow for them to fit in. These aren't crusading knights, adventurous Pathfinders, or even hardened mercenaries. These are the heroes that Golarion forgot and never really cared for.
For whatever reason, you were forced to flee your homeland. Chance or fate has brought you here, and it's here that your money ran out. Now you can only rely on each other.
Forlorn (Elves and Half-elves only)
Having lived outside of traditional elf society for much or all of your life, you know the world can be cruel, dangerous, and unforgiving of the weak. No matter how hard you have tried, most elves shun your company.
Benefit: You take a -1 penalty on all Charisma-based skill checks made when dealing with elves but gain a +1 trait bonus on Fortitude saves as a result of your steadfast determination to survive. (The penalty aspect of this trait is removed if you ever manage to establish yourself among elven society.)
Monster (Featured and Uncommon Races only)
People fear what they don't understand. In the towns and countryside you grew up in, you and your family were the only ones of your kind. The public fear of your species was enough to run your family out of town with fire and pitchforks- or worse, adventurers. It only got worse after your parents passed on as a lone monster became oddly scarier than a family.
Benefit: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Intimidate checks, and Intimidate is a class skill for you. In addition, you gain a +1 trait bonus on Will saves against fear effects.
You've spent years at the wrong end of a closed fist. It might have been family, acquaintances, even those you trusted. In the end, you found you could trust relatively few souls and that has made you paranoid and quick to react to danger.
Benefit You gain a +2 trait bonus on Initiative checks.
Religious Pariah
In your homeland, your faith is at best frowned upon, but more likely is illegal (such as non-Asmodean faiths in Cheliax or worship of an evil god in most other regions). But your calling is true and you have no interest in seeking another god to follow.
Benefit: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (religion) checks, and Knowledge (religion) is a class skill for you. If you cast divine spells, pick three spells on your spell list. You are particularly adept at casting these spells, so they function at +1 caster level when you cast them, and their save DCs (if any) gain a +1 bonus.
Former Criminal
Life has been hard for you. Perhaps your parents and siblings were crooks and con artists, or maybe your rough, lonely life led you to fall in with thieves and worse. You know how to ambush travelers, bully traders, avoid the law, and camp where no one might find you. Recently, you've run into some trouble, either with the law or with other bandits, and you're looking to get away to somewhere no one would ever think to look for you.
Benefit: You begin the campaign with an extra 100 gp in ill-gotten gains. You also gain a +1 trait bonus on Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Sense Motive checks when dealing with brigands, thieves, bandits, and their ilk.
Political Liability (Humans or Half-humans only)
One of your parents was a member of one of the great families of the Inner Sea (likely from Taldor, Cheliax, or Ustalav). But ill tidings and intrigue has caused terrible tidings to befall your family, and you are likely the last of your line. Yet you have no substantive proof of your nobility, and you've learned that claiming nobility without evidence makes you as good as a liar. While you might own a piece of jewelry, a scrap of once-rich fabric, or an aged confession of love, none of this directly supports your claim.
Benefit: You take a -1 penalty on all Charisma-based skill checks made when dealing with members of nobility but gain a +1 trait bonus on Will saves as a result of your stubbornness and individuality. (The penalty aspect of this trait is removed if you ever manage to establish yourself as a true noble.)
There's something very wrong with the world. Spouses were not meant to huddle at their windows hoping and fearing day after day that their loved ones returned from work safely. Parents were not meant to hush their children when questioned about what happened to their neighbors. Citizens were not meant to avert their eyes and hurry by as guardsmen beat old friends in the street. The people of your country suffered long enough! Unfortunately, you were not the voice of change you could have hoped. Instead, your nation's guards and knights want your head on a spike. So you ran.
Benefit: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Initiative checks, and if you act in a surprise round, you gain a +1 trait bonus on all attack rolls.
Your mind works differently than others. You've considered that the voices might be some form of mental disorder, or they might be some kind of enlightenment. After all, they make you better able to see the truth of things. In any case, your situation marked you as different from those around you, and those that tried to get close to you were unnerved by your abnormal personality quirks and ability to see right through them. But as far as you are concerned, you are likely the only one that can see things clearly.
Benefit: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Sense Motive checks, and Sense Motive is a class skill for you. In addition, you gain a +1 trait bonus on all Will saves made to resist mind-affecting effects.

Campaign Concepts- Pathfinder: Outcasts Part 1- Laying the Groundwork
For the last few months, I've been running my fourth or fifth Pathfinder Adventure Path (I lose track after a while- especially after starting Rise of the Runelords three times), Curse of the Crimson Throne. I really enjoy the drama of Curse of the Crimson Throne. I like its bad guys, the personalities of the NPCs, and how everything is contained into one major city undergoing major political upheaval. I especially love how the theme feels like Masque of the Red Death and the depth of the antagonist's evil.
Soooo good.
I'd say it is currently third in my list of favorite Adventure Paths behind Ironfang Invasion (because I was sorely missing a good forest campaign and Ironfang gives us that in the middle of a war of LoTR proportions) and Skull & Shackles (because pirates, duh).
But I find myself missing the days when I would create as a GM. Paizo has such good writing that it's made me lazy. I can expect their adventures to be so well written (if sometimes unbalanced) that prep becomes just reading the adventure ahead of time. So, I really wanted to create something new.
Does that mean I want to write an Adventure Path?
Oh, hell no!
Unless I get lucky enough to end up in the Paizo bullpen at some point, I've got enough on my plate (shameless plugs follow) with Dime Stories, Superhuman RPG, my Cosa Nostra supplement for the upcoming Cortex Prime RPG, and my own Pathfinder fantasy/western campaign book, Boomtown (Currently in preliminary planning stages).
Instead, I'd like to use what is already there in modules and third party materials and tap my creative juices to string them together in a coherent storyline (adding my own flourishes and side quests along the way). There's a plethora of great material out there that Paizo published in the dark days of 3.5 that most players these days have never seen (like the Falcon's Hollow storylines) that would make a great starting point and takes place in Golarion.
So let's start with the helicopter view:
Campaign Outline:
Pathfinder Outcasts starts with the players already familiar with each other. They are pariahs and monsters, cast out of their various homelands and on the run for some reason or another. The only people they can trust and rely on are each other. Already, this is different than the normal hometown hero story, these are the people the hometown hero is hired to run out of town. Not necessarily evil, just unwelcome.
Players are encouraged to build deeply flawed characters full of story, hardship, and spirit. They could be of nearly any class, but should be monstrous, morally grey, crazy, untrustworthy, iconoclast, unconventionally devout, or just somehow different than a normal PC (the campaign traits will help flesh this out).
The PCs start out already on the run, having crossed the Cheliax/Andoran border in hopes for a place they could live out their years in relative peace. While leaps and bounds better than Cheliax, the players find that Andoran is hardly welcoming as they pass through Arthell forest in hopes that the oft-mentioned Falcon's Hollow will prove to be a respite.
Spoiler: it's not.
One of their few allies will mention a place much more egalitarian than Falcon's Hollow where our group might find a home: a small town in the River Kingdoms called Hordenheim. Problem is, they'll have to go through the war-torn Galt to get there- and unlike Andoran, galtans aren't exactly welcoming to outsiders.
So far this mini AP has two major arcs.The first is a search for a home which has the PCs trying to make a home for themselves in southwest Andoran to very limited success. This will use the modules Into the Haunted Forest, Hollow's Last Hope, Crown of the Kobold King.
Galt will act as a bridge between arcs with Flight of the Red Raven and Revenge of the Kobold King.
The second act brings them to Hordenheim where they begin to feel more at home. This will primarily follow Colin Stricklin's fantastic Adventure a Week modules in the city of Hordenheim.
All that brings the PCs to level 9 or so. That's where I fill in. Early in the series, they are introduced to the story of a druid king of ages past called Navren. They discovered some magic items of his that act in concert and have been scaling with the PCs as the campaign dragged on. Are they secretly the key to a greater darkness? Will our heroes become the beloved heroes they had always hoped to become?
Primarily I'm playing with the theme of family in a very X-men way. X-men always shined at showing those that society cast out could form true familial bonds by standing together to protect a world that hates them. That's the core theme here. But each arc should have it's own feel as well.
The first arc is a little bit Frankenstein and a little bit Willow. Early on, it becomes obvious that the PCs are the only competent adventurers for the jobs at hand, but they are still ignored, despised, or even chased out of town with fire and pitchforks. Despite the heavy theme,the execution will be a bit tongue-in-cheek with how the villains and other NPCs act (especially with the Kobold King as the early primary recurring villain). This is intentional so that the second arc isn't as jarring.
Hordenheim becoming home is very different. No longer on the run, we can abandon the Frankenstein feel for a more comedy/action feel in a Die Hard vain. This whole arc is more about becoming a part of their new society and should feel a bit like Edward Scissorhands or The Burbs. In fact, let's make that easier:
Required Viewing:
First Arc:
Mary Shelly's Frankenstein
Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Second Arc:
Die Hard with a Vengeance
The Witches of Eastwick
Special Rules:
Every Adventure Path introduces a bunch of special rules to make it stand out. Outcasts will be no different.
First, I plan to lift the relationship map from Cortex. Not only will this help to establish the interactions between the PCs, but it will allow each pair of players to agree on a teamwork feat they can use together as if both possessed the feat (think of Colossus and Wolverine with the Fastball Special). Every four levels, the players can agree to change their character's views on each other to add new tactics and feat to their partnering.
Second, the trope of their time in Andoran and Galt will be that they are being run out of town. So I'll be sightly modifying the Pathfinder chase rules from the Gamemastery Guide with serious story implications if the PCs are caught.
This as well as scaling items of power that the PCs get REALLY early on and some other goodies.
I'll expand on all these rules in a later article.
That's it for now. Come back next week as I lay out the campaign traits in a mini Player's Guide.

Tell Me About Your Character: Ep.4- Tell me lies. Tell me sweet little lies.
Box Text:
Following in the footsteps of Matt McFarland, my fellow Saturday Morning Gamers, Jonathan and Geoff, have begun to slog through their RPG collections and they are making a character for each game. My plan is to do the same, with a slight variant. A lot of my collection is made up of several editions of the same game or setting (D&D, Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, Shadowrun, etc.). So while I will document the characters and process for most games normally, for those with multiple editions I will be making one character and remaking the same character for each edition. Ideally, this should give some insight to some of the decisions the design teams made and how they differ even with the same subject matter.
Wherever possible, I am using randomized stats or whatever the most common methods were to build characters at the time and core books rather than entire game libraries to give the entry level experience. Oh sure, there will be some games that I'll pull out all the stops and use half a dozen game books to create a fleshed out character. But that will be a rare occurrence.
Also, I'm not going to be showing you optimized characters. First, that's not how I build characters, I'm a story guy. But more importantly,this column is about the process, not the result.
As usual, we'll start with the character and concept first:
Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash and I'm delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever.
I tire of explaining things in such a mundane fashion. So, I will allow my followers from Geek and Sundry to explain the good Baron's "Game" with their customary lack of ingenuity and class.
The rules are relatively minimal. The first player prompts the player on their left to regale them with a story of their choosing. This could be anything such as, "Tell us about the time you fended off that invading Mongolian horde with a banana" or "How precisely did you woo Catherine the Great and bring about the age of Russian Enlightenment?" From there, the challenged player begins telling the story with as much detail as possible. The other players may attempt to interrupt, distract, and prove the story false by wagering tokens. "But how could that be true if Genghis Khan had already seized all the bananas in eastern Asia?" The storyteller must then counter the argument with their own token, offering an explanation as to why their story is completely true or an excuse as to why that detail does not fit. Players can argue back and forth until one concedes. Once each player has told their story, all the players use their tokens to select their favorite tale.
I am Marquis Edmond Augustine Ignatious Wilfred Steven du Lac , Second Prince of West Asia, Defender of the Order of Free Peoples, Knight of The Righteous Rose, former Duke of East Carolina.
You've heard of me- or at least my story, you just do not know it yet. Your friend, the blogger, has asked me to fill in to tell you my story in his plain, uninteresting dialect.
I am the second son of the King of West Asia, born far from here in Tycho City, Luna in exile of my homelands. Most of my life was spent sailing the phlogston seas of space and time, having adventures and romantic interludes with the finest lovers and most gallant combatants the ages could have ever produced. Still none have been my equal at sword, treaty, dice, or love. And to this day, hundreds seek my counsel in nearly every matter.
Come to my table and I will merrily tell you a tale. It will only cost you the time and coin to refill my goblet and the pleasure of your company. I need not promise, for it remains fact, that my company is always a pleasure.
The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen
By Fantasy Flight Games 2017
I do not feel that I have a need to wax philosophical on how the Baron's game came to its Third Printing with the simple plebs of Fantasy Flight. I will say that it greatly improves on previous editions from the likes of Mongoose Publishing by simply adding more words.
Yes, those words highlight new ways to play the "game" with a dozen new variations. They are far from the thirty nine variations the Baron approached me to help him create, but it seems that books can only hold so much information and the publishers were afraid that if we kept my additions, the books would invariably break their bindings and the sheer knowledge that could have been gained would be lost forever. Ah, what a day it might have been to see those words etched forever in paper and ink...
It should be apparent to you that the good Baron consulted me time and again on the creation of his game. He claimed he wanted only to tell the most fantastical tales based on my own exploits, but I suggested he change the focus to others trying to keep up with the truths of my wondrous life.
Wait. Hold. I need to have my goblet refilled. This form of retelling makes one quite thirsty.
Ah, excellent. The Red Queen of the Martian Steppes personally supplied me with this vintage of helioberry wine from the stores of the Jeddak. There is no finer drink of the vine.
Back to the Baron's game. It was nearly thirty years ago that, hat in hand, the Baron approached me gentleman to gentleman and bade me tell him the tales of my exploits throughout the cosmos. As a nobleman, I could hardly dismiss the request of a fellow patrician. So it was surprising, even to me, to see the Baron's eyes wide in recognition of the tales he had heard- far more poorly- detailed before him.
Even from my boyhood adventures at the side of the King of Carolina, my claim to the Shah of Highsand's harem, and my third marriage to the current Queen of West Asia, my tales had spread from dance hall, to tavern; from pauper's pit to royal hall. However, it seems that my tales were so legendary, so influential that others- ne'erdowells and vagabonds, I expect- had dared to lay claim to my story as their own.
And thus, I explained to the good Baron, that he could find his game within. Oh sure, the publisher made the poor decision to not utilize my good name to sell more volumes, but I expect it was fear of my legal wrath if tempted that kept their hand from the affront.
No matter, it is a rare day that I cannot rule the day at the Baron's game, much like any other such idle pastime, simply by telling the amazing truths of the years that have preceded this one in my astonishing life story.
One day, you should see for yourself. But for now, I must call upon the maitre d' to refill my goblet once again.

General Gamery: Superhuman RPG
Yeah, you saw it. Superhuman RPG.
Does this mean that I'm not going to continue working on the Superhuman Miniatures Game that was promised forever ago?
No. Not at all. Actually, it's kind of the opposite.
Miniatures are expensive to make. I mean really, really expensive. Especially in the scope that Superhuman requires. But art for the game, I already have in abundance. Not to mention setting.
Oh sure, I'd been tossing around the idea of making a FATE Superhuman RPG... but then I realized something far better designers than me figured out a few years ago. SYNERGY!!!
For the last few years I've been loving the Iron Kingdoms RPG- partially because I adore Immoren as a world. But more than anything else it's that the wizards over at Privateer Press figured out that the same people that roleplay in Iron Kingdoms might also play Warmachine or Hordes. And that making the rules for one work with the others might benefit all three games.
And so that's what I'll do here.
The Superhuman RPG (oh, I should toss up the logo for it, huh?) will use the art I've compiled for the minis game over the years from the likes of Avery Liell-Kok, Bryan Bretz, and Matt Parmenter, build the world, and utilize the entire ruleset for Superhuman with some tweaks and add-ons to give it depth.
Then, whenever it is possible to fund a project like Superhuman Miniatures, we can broaden the scope to change the focus to small teams of supers, rather than individuals like in the RPG.
Sounds simple, right?
Well, it's not. Retooling Superhuman for RPG means digging deep and revisiting all the mistakes I made in the earlier versions of the game. In the decade or so since I first conceived of Superhuman, I've changed and grown as a game designer so much that earlier drafts are pretty much unreadable. Basically it's more difficult to retool than start over.
But no, starting over isn't really the right way. The core of Superhuman was pretty good and I can build from the basic mechanics to something grand on multiple levels.
And I'll want you to help me with it.
We start this summer with Gencon 50.
At Gencon, I will be running a single event for Superhuman on Saturday at 1pm. Players in this event will play the villains in a Bank Heist- the first in The Crew, a line of convention exclusive adventures that longtime readers will remember from my early steps in this blog.
If I do this right, every player will walk away with a copy of the introductory adventure complete with pregenerated PCs and all the rules you would need to run it. From there, we'll start playtests so that Gencon 2018 can see a full release of the book.
Fingers crossed,

Tell Me About Your Character: Ep.3- By Crom!
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Ah, Conan.
First an admission.
I do not like Conan stories written by the character's creator, Robert E. Howard. Nor do I particularly care for any of the books that followed from authors like Harry Turtledove, Sean A. Moore, and Robert Jordan. Most of my interest in Conan came directly from two sources: the fantastic Marvel Comics Savage Sword of Conan series and the Schwarzenegger films.
But Conan, while a suitable protagonist for his series, did little for me as the hero of the stories. He seemed to be simply a collection of tropes that would have seemed new and interesting in the pulp era, but lost something in the eighties and nineties of my youth.
What really drew me in was the world-building Robert E. Howard and subsequent creators put into the Hyborian Age where Conan's tales are set. Unlike many of the worlds in which sword and sorcery stories find themselves, the Hyborian Age melded historical (if somewhat anachronistic)times and places with an artificial mythology of magic, monsters, and brutality. While Howard himself created a world he placed between the fall of Atlantis and recorded history (around 10,000 BCE), the final creation felt more timeless as it blended in later european, eastern european, and north african influences.
Who is Petrucco?
Petrucco was born to sail.
The town of Tortage is called the gem of the Barachan Islands by the pirates that dwell there. When Petrucco began to quicken in his mother, Carisia's belly, she drydocked the ship she had captained for nearly a decade for exhaustive repairs while she reared and raised her only child.
When Petrucco was old enough to man a sloop of his own, Carisia and the captains of several allied Tortagian vessels took him under their wing to learn the Barachan ways of sword, sea, and piracy. For the next two decades, Petrucco sailed with any ship that would have him and earned a reputation as a fearsome pirate, canny gambler, savvy carouser, and brilliant sailor.
When Petrucco finally decided to captain a ship under his own flag, he had no shortage of able bodied sailors vying for a position on his crew. It was his mother, now years into a wasting disease that would finally take her life, that offered him the ship he would come to call home- her dry-docked barachan galley, Leviathan.
Conan: The Roleplaying Game
By Mongoose Publishing, 2003
So what the hell was that, right? Okay, again, Conan was far from my favorite character in the series. If I wanted to see Conan, there are plenty examples of him in the book. I wanted to play with other parts of the world.
I toyed with making someone close to Subotai, my favorite character from the first movie. But the Hyrkanian race are built to make pretty much only him (even though Red Sonja should also be Hyrkanian and is far from an archer), so that wasn't really what I wanted to do.
Instead, while I was mulling over the races (more on that in a minute), my wife was watching the most recent version of The Count of Monte Cristo. I got to thinking that Luigi Vampa would be a great Barachan pirate, and on I went. And as Barachans are essentially Italian pirates (related to Argossians which are Mediterranean seafaring merchants), I gave him an Italian sounding name in Petrucco.
Conan: The Roleplaying Game is standard d20 fair with very little deviation from the OGL. Other than a few specifics, no standard D&D 3.0 character would be too far out of place. This meant, for the most part, I already knew what I was getting myself into for character creation.
The bulk of the differences are as follows:
There's no alignment and characters are based on their code of honor (if any) and allegiances instead.
All characters are human, but a differentiated by their culture, conferring different skills and abilities by region. I love this idea and plan to make culture have as much significance as race in a Pathfinder based campaign world book called Boomtown that's been on the back burner a while.
Multiclassing is done differently,but I'm making a starting character. NEXT.
There are 2 stats, Dodge Bonus and Parry Bonus that reflect the defensive options a character can take instead of the normal Armor Class. Instead, armor gives a character damage reduction, but takes a greater toll on what a character can do than in vanilla OGL games.
On to character creation!
I started with Ability Scores as normal. Conan offers two options for standard or heroic character generation. I chose heroic, because duh. Basically, you roll a d10 and add 10 for each stat, then distribute the scores as you see fit. This makes pretty powerful characters, but is fitting with the setting.
I rolled 19, 17, 16, 15, 14, 14. Pretty swanky.
Next I chose Petrucco's race. As an Argossean/Barachan he got all of the "civilized" Hyborean bonuses too, so this was a lot to add in. These included greatswords as martial weapons, extra Fate (think Hero or Force points), and bonuses to all kinds of piraty skills.
The Pirate class is essentially a rogue/ranger mix with a seafaring theme. But it has some pretty cool abilities like Ferocious Attack, but I explain all these on the character sheet.
One of the things I like about Conan is that if you can use a weapon and it is a "finesse"weapon, you are treated as if you have the Weapon Finesse feat from D&D. So that saved me from wasting a feat on it. Two Weapon Fighting was included with the class, so I decided on Persuasive (because Luigi Vampa- remember him), and Combat Expertise. There's a great feat called Intricate Swordplay that eventually allows you to add your Charisma to attacks and Parry Defense. Combat Expertise was the first feat in that tree, so that's what I planned on.
Beyond that, I filled in skills for a swarthy, charismatic, and skilled pirate and gave him class based starting equipment. Nice and simple.
Overall, I'm happy with how Petrucco turned out. He's a little more like the most recent Sinbad that used to be on Syfy than Luigi Vampa, but that's not a bad thing.,
As always, the running list of characters can be found here. If you have any other ideas for games not on that list, or know what you'd like me to dive into next, drop me a line.

Andrew Johns is a "one man show" and NOT the "one man band" type of show that phrase conjures up. No cymbals pinned to his ears, no bass drum on his back. Just a few keyboards and a drum machine and a pile of talent with a huge repertoire and diversity. He has been compared to Victor Borge as his sometimes "goofy" nature and cerebral sense of humour can shine through... usually at the appropriate moments. He can also be described as a combination of Billy Joel and Elton John with fabulous renditions of both artists as well as many other popular pianists and soloists.
But, it doesn't stop there. Andrew's amazing vocal range allows him to tackle everything from light Opera including Les Mis and the Phantom all the way over to impersonating Louis Armstrong, Norah Jones, Macy Gray and Led Zeppelin.
One of the biggest plusses with Andrew Johns is that you have everything you need in one person. He can start your evening with reception music, move into dinner sets with classical and little bits of jazz and then take the evening into a full dance party. Yes, without computers or tapes Andrew can pump up the volume and have a full dance party going "all by himself"!!... Of course the hands and feet are flying to try to keep up but it sure sounds like you have a full band on stage. With a little vocal trickery, you even have some harmonies that you're not sure how where they are coming from. Just ask him though, he'll show you how it all works. Mostly it's thanks to his classical piano background and perfect pitch as a child that has led to the amazing ability to mimic and cover SO many genres and styles. Basically if he's heard it, he can play it.
So if you're looking for Elton, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Glenn Miller, Earth Wind and FIre, Michael Buble, Muse, Seal, John Mayer, Journey, Billy Joel, The Fray, Marvin Gaye, Jimmy Buffet, Van Morrison, Zac Brown Band, Sting, ABBA, Garth Brooks, Average White Band, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Lady Antebellum and many more then Andrew Johns is your obvious choice. Even Lady Gaga has been known to creep into the middle of a song.
Andrew can also write and/or tailor songs to suite your events and also does fully orchestrated awards shows including Stingers and Walk Ups as well as customized heart felt background pieces or pulsating grooves to keep and awards show moving and interesting. He has also done soundtracks for corporate video and played "live" to video at events as well.
Noteable Entertainment & Events is a Vancouver based booking agency, party rental, entertainment services and event production company. If you are interested in booking Andrew Johns please contact us.

Archbishop of York claims Sir Paul
The Archbishop of York enhances the mana of Sir Paul – by insisting that he, John Sentamu, possesses the best claims for where the bishop should be buried.
• Live updates from Holy Trinity Cathedral
• John Sentamu expands on Sir Paul
Lloyd Ashton | 17 Aug 2011 |
Never mind claims that Sir Paul Reeves ought to be going home to Taranaki.
Or maybe to Manawa o te Wheke, to lie beside Bishops Fred and Manu Bennett in Rotorua.
No: As far as the Archbishop of York was concerned this morning, the matter was settled.
Here Dr John Sentamu was, barely 90 minutes after he'd landed in the country, proclaiming to the hundreds of Maori gathered at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for Sir Paul Reeves' tangi that he'd be taking Sir Paul with him back to the UK.
Their claims to Sir Paul didn't stack up against his, he reckoned.
Archbishop John was jesting, of course, and the whanau loved his wit – and the fact that he had cottoned on to the fact that such claims for repatriation uphold the mana of the tupapaku being contested.
Archbishop John is a quick wit, and a quick study.
But when he laid out his claim, you could see his thinking. Because of Sir Paul's baptism – and because he was a deacon, priest and bishop, Sir Paul belongs to the whole church, he said.
Moreover, because he was a knight of the realm, and knighthoods are bestowed by the Queen… there was a strong case for packing him back to the UK.
As we've said, the archbishop relented. Said he was prepared to settle "for taking Sir Paul home with me in my heart."
Which was probably prudent. Because Bishop Kito Pikaahu said Archbishop John could indeed have Sir Paul – but only if he was prepared to fly a couple of thousand Maori back to the UK with him.
Archbishop John only spoke for a few minutes. But he was in top form – and he paid eloquent tribute to Sir Paul.
He told the house that Sir Paul and he had exchanged promises. They'd vowed that whoever died first, the survivor would go to the other one's wake.
And Archbishop John told the mourners that when Sir Paul finished up as Governor-General and became the Anglican Observer to the United Nations – he was, in fact, far more effective as an observer than many of the UN's permanent members.
Archbishop John finished his korero with a Ugandan hymn – one verse of which translates as:
God, you did not lose him when you gave him to us
And we do not lose him now when we give him back to you.
The tangi is drawing to a close, and final preparations are being made for tomorrow's 11am state funeral at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Parnell, which was Sir Paul's parish church.
The service will be according to the rites prescribed in He Karakia Mihinare of Aotearoa/the New Zealand Prayer Book.
The three archbishops will preside, and there will be eulogies from four speakers, including Archbishop David Moxon and Judge Sarah Reeves, one of Sir Paul and Lady Reeves' three daughters.
And the honour of preaching the sermon at Sir Paul's funeral service belongs to Bishop Philip Richardson, who was ordained a priest by Bishop Sir Paul 32 years ago, when he was Bishop of Auckland.
Understandably, Bishop Philip feels "quite daunted" and humbled by preaching at the funeral of such a leader.
"As a young man," says Bishop Philip, "Bishop Paul had encouraged me to see the wider canvas on which our ministry had to be painted.
"We were called into the whole world – and not to some club distinct from the world. The church is simply a vehicle for God's work of reconciliation."
Philip Richardson was barely out of his teens when he graduated from his theological studies – and he was too young to join the ordination stream.
So Bishop Paul had arranged for him to spend time at a theological seminary in South India – and his experience of Christians living out the gospel in the midst of utter poverty had shaken him, and turned his world upside down.
Tomorrow morning – the last morning of Sir Paul's stay at Holy Sepulchre – will begin as the two previous days have dawned, with a 7am Eucharist.
The funeral cortege, which will include busloads of Sir Paul's Taranaki whanau, will depart from Holy Sepulchre at 9.30am, and wend its way slowly through Auckland Domain.
When it reaches Parnell Rd, the hearse and the family will be met by a military escort – which will slow-march beside the cortege to the large forecourt of the cathedral, which will become a marae atea.
Sir Paul's casket will be borne by pallbearers to the Great West door of the cathedral, where it will be met by the three archbishops, who will solemnly lead the pallbearers to the sanctuary.
There, the casket will be draped in the Reeves whanau korowai – which has been uplifted from Te Papa for the funeral – and dressed also with Sir Paul's mitre and crosier, and various family taonga, including some placed by his mokopuna.
His mokopuna will be involved again during the committal, when they will join Archdeacon Tiki Raumati in asperging and censing the casket.
When the funeral is over, Sir Paul's casket will be taken from the church, out across the forecourt – no doubt accompanied by thunderous haka – to the waiting hearse, which will bear him to a private burial service in the grounds of his old seminary, St John's College in Meadowbank.
There is, perhaps, one other telling detail about the manner in which Sir Paul's casket will lie in the cathedral during his funeral service.
Sir Paul's casket will be brought into the service, feet first.
That's how most of us will stay throughout our funeral services.
But because he was a bishop, Sir Paul will then be rotated through 90 degrees in the sanctuary.
So one last time, in death as in life, he faces his people.
In Sir Paul's case, that's a symbol that seems particularly apt.
