Phi Sigma Sigma (), colloquially known as Phi Sig, was the first collegiate nonsectarian sorority to allow membership of women of all faiths and backgrounds.

The sorority was founded on November 26, 1913, and lists 60,000 initiated members, 115 collegiate chapters and more than 100 alumnae chapters, clubs and associations in the United States and Canada. Phi Sigma Sigma was founded to establish to the twin ideals of promoting the brotherhood of man and alleviation of the world's pain.

Since 1951, the sorority has been a member of the National Panhellenic Conference, the overarching organization of the 26 national sororities in the United States and Canada.

History
Phi Sigma Sigma was founded by ten women on November 26, 1913, at Hunter College, in Manhattan. The sorority's founders were:
Lillian Gordon Alpern
Josephine Ellison Breakstone
Fay Chertkoff
Estelle Melnick Cole
Jeanette Lipka Furst
Ethel Gordon Kraus
Shirley Cohen Laufer
Claire Wunder McArdle
Rose Sher Seidman
Gwen Zaliels Snyder.

The original name for the sorority was Phi Sigma Omega, but they later learned this name was already in use by another organization. In 1918, Phi Sigma Sigma expanded by founding its Beta chapter at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, and the Gamma chapter at New York University, although neither of those chapters are currently active. The sorority held its first national convention that year in New York City, where the constitution was adopted, and Fay Chertkoff, one of the founders, was elected Grand Archon.

The sorority first published its official publication, The Sphinx, in 1922.

Phi Sigma Sigma became an associate member of National Panhellenic Conference in 1947 and a full member in 1951.

In 1968, the separation of Hunter College's two campuses prompted the original Alpha chapter to divide. Alpha Alpha chapter was installed at the new Herbert Lehman College in the Bronx, while Alpha chapter remained on Hunter College's Park Avenue campus. Neither is still active.

In November 2009, the Delta chapter, at the State University of New York at Buffalo, was reinstalled; making it the oldest active chapter.  The second oldest active chapter is the Epsilon chapter at Adelphi University, in Garden City, New York, which was recolonized December 6, 2008. While other chapters were founded earlier and have been recolonized, the Xi chapter at Temple University is the oldest chapter in continuous existence, having been founded in 1926. The Upsilon chapter (1930) at the University of Manitoba was the first chapter established in Canada.

Symbols, Motto and Publications

The open motto is Diokete Hupsala (Aim High). The maxim is Once a Phi Sigma Sigma, always a Phi Sigma Sigma.

Phi Sigma Sigma's colors are king blue and gold. The official symbol is the Sphinx, while the official jewel is the sapphire. The American Beauty Rose is the official flower.

The original fraternity badge was a Sphinxhead with sapphire eyes on a gold base, bearing the Greek letters ΦΣΣ in blue enamel. Later, the fraternity developed a jeweled badge in the form of a gold pyramid with three sapphires in each corner, surmounted by the original Sphinxhead in the middle.

The pledge pin is a blue pyramid with a border of gold, on which is written Phi Sigma Sigma's motto.

The coat of arms is a Sphinxhead surmounting a ribbon bearing the Greek letters ΦΣΣ, set on a shield of seven bendlets of blue and white, the whole being superimposed on a pyramid with a rose at its apex and twin scrolls bearing the legend Diokete Hupsala and the year 1913 en plaque at the base below.

Phi Sigma Sigma's magazine is The Sphinx.  It publishes a biannual alumnae newsletter, The Rose.

The sorority's first song, "The Hymn," was written in 1921 by Pearl Lippman of the Alpha chapter and her husband, Arthur Lippman.

Philanthropy
To facilitate philanthropic activities, the Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation was created in 1969 by Jeanine Jacobs Goldberg, who was the foundation's first president. The Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation provides scholarships and educational grants, as well as leadership programming to collegiate and alumnae members. The National Kidney Foundation was Phi Sigma Sigma's primary philanthropic endeavor from 1971 until 2013. Since then, Phi Sigma Sigma has worked to educate people about kidney disease, as well as organ and tissue donation and transplantation. The Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation was a major sponsor of the National Kidney Foundation U.S. Transplant Games, a national Olympics-style event where organ-donor recipients competed in various athletic competitions.

Following the September 11 attacks, the Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation established the Twin Ideals Fund to provide assistance to disaster victims. Named for Phi Sigma Sigma's twin ideals to promote the brotherhood of man and alleviate the world's pain, the fund has contributed to aid organizations in the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami and Hurricane Katrina.

A three-year process began in 2011 to identify a new premier philanthropic partner. The first step was to define the organization's philanthropic focus. Through a member survey and focus groups, the committee settled on school/college readiness as its philanthropic focus. The next step was to create and disseminate an RFP (Request for Proposal) to philanthropic groups. Applications were submitted and the committee interviewed ideal candidates. The result was the adoption of two non-profits, Practice Makes Perfect and Kids in Need Foundation. Both aligned well with the Foundation's mission and the school/college readiness focus. It was decided by Practice Makes Perfect to become a for-profit organization in 2016. The Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation could no longer support Practice Makes Perfect according to regulations of a 501c3 organization. Phi Sigma Sigma is proud to grow its partnership with KINF and continues to support the efforts of KINF through its many backpack builds and work with local low income students and schools.

"There will be increased fuel consumption with Euro 6 technology" – so predicted many prophets of doom in the industry a few years ago when the new stringent emissions regulations were coming into being.
Today we have hindsight, and the reality was different. For example, Scania's new inline-six, 13-liter and 410 horsepower engine set new fuel records on two well-established test routes in the hands of German and French trade journalists.
Never before has a 40-tonne Euro-combination (tractor and trailer) covered the demanding test route north of Munich – which is used by "Verkehrsrundschau", among others – with a truly low fuel consumption of 23.29 litres/100 km. And mind you – it's not a record for a Euro-6 truck; this consumption is the lowest that has been measured for any emission standard. The difference from the previous record holder was about a decilitre of diesel per 10 kilometres.

The U.S. financial agencies do not plan to recommend a credit-sensitive element to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate or a credit-sensitive rate, agency heads said in a letter to a group of regional banks yesterday.
Agencies: No Plans to Recommend Credit-Sensitive Element to SOFR
on October 22, 2020 Commercial Lending, Newsbytes, Policy
The U.S. financial agencies do not plan to recommend a credit-sensitive element to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate or a credit-sensitive rate, agency heads said in a letter to a group of regional banks yesterday. Noting that the banks had participated in conversations with the agencies earlier this year, the agencies said that individual banks may seek different characteristics when selecting a reference rate for a commercial loan. "As a result, the official sector is not well-positioned to adjudicate the selection of a reference rate between banks and their commercial customers."
However, the agencies agreed to hold additional meetings to highlight "continued innovation" in alternative reference rates and address hurdles to transitioning commercial loans away from the London Interbank Offered Rate. The agencies also emphasized that "supervisors will not criticize firms solely for using a reference rate (or rates) other than SOFR."
Several market participants have urged authorities to include a credit-sensitive element in SOFR that would align it more closely to the funding costs of a broad range of banks. The letter—which was reported today by Politico—was signed by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and Vice Chairman Randal Quarles, Federal Reserve Bank of New York President and CEO John Williams, Acting Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton, FDIC Chairman Jelena McWilliams and Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Heath Tarbert.

It is very simple to adopt and use in any retail business regardless of the category and size.
Loyverse has been a great help. I first discovered it as a customer of another café in Nigeria, I'd receive their receipts and wonder what company that was. At the time I was using a different POS system developed by a company with no presence in Nigeria. It was always difficult whenever we encountered problems to reach someone in the company because of the time difference. With Loyverse, there's a team in Nigeria that has been extremely helpful and answered all my questions.

So You Want To Make A Winning Quilt? Best Domestic Machine Quilting Road 2018
Susan E. Stewart received $2,500 for Gilded Roses from Sponsor Baby Lock
When you ask Susan Stewart how long she has been sewing, her reply is, "All my life."
Susan spent many years doing heirloom sewing for a company in Alabama. She started her quilting path in 2004 and won a blue ribbon at Quilt Festival in Houston for her very first quilt. No wonder she exclaimed, "I was hooked!" Gilded Roses was inspired by the lacy, watercolor-y rose machine embroidery design from Urban Threads. Susan said she could picture the roses done in a rainbow of different shades, adding a touch of variety to an all-white and gold quilt. She added some lacy, scroll-y gold swirl designs from OESD to pick up on the lacy designs in the rose motifs and then added some large lace designs. The lace designs are John Deer Adorable Designs are stitched on the fabric and are also done as free-standing work along the edges. The quilting was done to add interest and to highlight the embroidery. It took Susan 2½ months to complete Gilded Roses, "the shortest time ever to finish a quilt!" She said that she had just finished another quilt and guessed that she "was on a roll!" What was Susan's biggest takeaway from making Gilded Roses? "I learned that it is very time-consuming to stitch the binding on entirely by hand!" Susan said she had forgotten that she had entered Gilded Roses in Road's 2018 quilt contest. When she received the notice that she had won, she was at home, recovering from some physical issues. Susan was thrilled and delighted to win Best Domestic Machine Quilting for Gilded Roses and exclaimed, "Woohoo! $2500!" What was Susan going to do with her prize money? "Honestly, it will go toward bills." Susan isn't sure what the next step will be in her quilting adventure. "I don't know. Recent events have thrown a big curve ball at me, and I don't know where I'll land. If I can continue making contest quilts, I will. If I can't, then I'll re-invent myself! Where will you see me next? Who knows!" Congratulations Susan for winning Best Domestic Machine Quilting for Gilded Roses and best wishes for your future endeavors.]]>

So You Want to Make A Winning Quilt: Best Applique
Thursday, August 2nd, 2018
Kathy K. Wylie won $1,500, from Sponsor, Pink Sand Beach, for Best Applique on her quilt, For Such a Time as This
Kathy K. Wylie started quilting in the spring of 1994. A friend asked Kathy if she would join her in taking a beginner sampler quilting class. Kathy had just resigned from her job at IBM to stay at home with her two young sons and thought she could use a few nights out. Kathy had sewn since she was a child and enjoyed all kinds of different needle arts, so she agreed to take the class. Little did Kathy know how that decision would change her life! For Such a Time as This is Kathy's original design focusing on "time." The first thing Kathy considered when embarking on this quilt was, "What does a quilt about time look like?" She brainstormed lots of ideas such as clocks, calendars, seasons, and celebrations. One shape that kept recurring in her mind was a circle. Kathy considered that "a clock is a circle divided in twelve. Twelve hours in a day; twelve months in a year. I began with a medallion divided into twelve equal sections. From there, I added birth flowers and birth stones around my "clock" to depict the months of the year." How did the circle clock idea evolve? Kathy said, "When a medallion is placed on a square background, it leaves a lot of blank space in the corners. I decided to use those areas to depict the seasons by the changing color of the leaves on the branches." Kathy incorporated several machine quilting motifs to complement the original time theme: "The hours on the clock; ogees, that form the shape of an hour glass; the phases of the moon; and the symbol for infinity. This shape is echoed around the outside edge by quilting half scallops and then hand tying them with black embroidery floss." It took Kathy three and a half years to make her Best Applique quilt, For Such a Time as This. She began the quilt in November 2013, working on the initial clock design. The hand appliqué was done from January 2014 to November 2016. Kathy then spent almost 200 hours of machine quilting her Best Applique design which she finished in April 2017. All the finishing steps were completed in May 2017. What techniques did Kathy learn along the way for her Best Applique quilt? "All the shapes on the quilt are turned-edge appliqué and sewn by hand. My favorite method is needle-turn appliqué and approximately 75% of the quilt was done this way. But the very small shapes, like the tiny circles that connect the birthstones, and the very detailed shapes, like the lily of the valley blossoms, were done with a new method I learned called Apliquick. Using stainless steel rods for surgical precision, these shapes were turned and prepared in advance before stitching. What is Kathy's next project? She is working on a series of block designs featuring the birth flowers from For Such a Time as This and hopes to release those patterns later in 2018. Kathy also will continue to teach workshops. Her next quilt is taking shape in her mind; she wants to get the blocks done before she starts in on it because "otherwise they won't get done." Congratulations Kathy on your Best Applique winning design. For more information about For Such a Time as This and other patterns developed by Kathy, please visit her website or Facebook Page.]]>

Best Piecing Winning Quilt – Road 2018
From The Inside Out won Best Piecing at Road to California 2018. It was made and quilted by Catherine Butterworth who received $1,500 from Sponsor, American Professional Quilting Systems.
Catherine Butterworth is "addicted to fussy cutting fabric motifs." She just knew that the Feathered Star block was the perfect way to showcase the centre cream design and surrounding pink floral of her original quilt design, From The Inside Out. Catherine comes from a family of seamstresses and quilt makers. She became interested in quilting over 30 years ago when patchwork fabrics were introduced into the family business. Up until then, the business only carried ladies' dress fabric. Born and raised in Ohio, Catherine has made her home in Sydney, Australia for the past 44 years. The fabric is what inspired Catherine to make From The Inside Out. Says Catherine, "It's all about the fabric! I fell in love with an Alexander Henry design and fussy cut the center cream motif just because 'I had to.' I rather like Feathered Stars so that seemed a logical plan for the beginning of this medallion quilt. As the quilt name suggests, I worked from the inside out. At every stage it was the fabric motifs that dictated the design." It took Catherine over 2 years to make this Best Piecing quilt which included 8 months of solid work. As each border was added, Catherine not only looked at her color choices but also critically analyzed the overall tonal balance within the quilt. Touches of machine couching, hand applique, Suffolk Puffs, 3 dimensional triangles and the odd French Knot were added for fun and extra interest. The quilt was machine pieced and machine quilted on a stationary machine. Catherine received the news that she had won Best Piecing while on her family's annual summer holiday on the mid central coast of New South Wales in Australia. Her reaction? "I let out a rather loud scream despite the fact that I was alone at the time catching up on email correspondence." What does Catherine plan to do with her prize money? The money will "cover my international postage bill" and "perhaps a plane ticket back to the United States for a visit." What is in Catherine's quilting future? "I would like to take my machine quilting up a notch or two." To learn more about Catherine and her patchwork expertise, please visit her website.]]>

Behind Road To California 2018's Outstanding Modern Quilt
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2018
Direction Optional was made by Stephanie Z. Ruyle and the 2016 members of Bee Sewcial. It was quilted by Christine Perrigo. They received $2,500 from Sponsor, Modern Quilts Unlimited.
Many quilters start out first as garment makers and Stephanie Ruyle is no exception. "I love it when I can use a garment making skill/technique in quilt making," shared Stephanie. The idea for Direction Optional was based around the concept of linear— using the line in piecing, whether straight or curved. Each Bee Sewcial Member was given this directive as they created their own improv block. The color palette was chosen to keep the composition cohesive. The pops of color help move the eye around the quilt top. Stephanie said that "curating the placement of each member's block and making the connecting pieces that brought all the varied pieces together into a pleasing whole was both challenging and thrilling."
Placing the blocks and the irregular pieces together took several months to complete. Stephanie felt "very lucky" to utilize the creative talents from nine of her "Bee-mates." Seeing their diverse interpretations of the prompt and then how they all came together proved to Stephanie that the "sum is really greater than its parts." The quilting was done by Colorado longer quilter, Christine Perrigo, and took another several weeks to finish. Stephanie was at home when she received the email saying that she had won. She had to read it several times before it sunk in. Winning in the Outstanding Modern Quilt category was really special because Stephanie had originally entered it in the Abstract Category. She used her prize money to update her "aging cell phone" and will save the rest for later. What is next with Stephanie's quilting? "There are definitely more modern quilts in my future, and hopefully more quilt shows as well." She loves spreading the word about modern quilts and its growing contributions to the greater quilting community by creating quilts that inspire ideas and start conversations. Congratulations to Stephanie and her Bee Sewcial friends for their Road 2018 winning entry.

So You Want To Make A Winning Quilt: Outstanding Wall Quilt
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2018
Robin Gausebeck received $5,000 from Sponsor, Janome, for Art of the Ancient World at Road to California 2018
Robin Gausebeck did not set out to be a quilter, let alone an award winning quilter.
A few years ago, when Robin moved in to a new house, there was a tall blank wall in the stairwell that needed some color. She thought she could find "a nice long piece of fabric, hang it up and be done." Only problem: she couldn't find anything that she and her husband liked. In her search, however, Robin DID find a book by Pamela Mostek called "Just Can't Cut It" which featured simple quilts that Robin figured she could attempt to make. After all, thought Robin, she did know how to use a sewing machine!! That first quilt, which she revised to measure 4′ x 8', was full of beautiful Asian fabrics but Robin felt that her "workmanship was atrocious since I really didn't know what I was doing." Consequently, her personal embarrassed kept her from letting anyone else see that quilt. However, the process of using a variety of fabrics and colors fascinated her and she knew she wanted to do more. What inspired Robin to make Art of the Ancient World? About 8 years ago, she and her husband were passing through Lincoln, Nebraska. They stopped at the International Quilt Study Center and viewed a collection of Baltimore album quilts. They weren't Robin's "thing" but her husband was fascinated with the style and began mentioning to Robin how much fun it would be for her to make an album quilt. After listening to his hints over the years, Robin decided that it would be "okay for me to do an album quilt but it was going to be on my terms." Although Robin didn't consider herself a "folk-art person," she always had been interested in art history and figured that she could pull design inspiration from the decorative arts of early civilizations from around the globe. Art of the Ancient World took over two years to complete. Some of that time, Robin spent researching in libraries, on the internet and with her own art books trying to design each of the 16 blocks. After she made the first two blocks, Robin hit a creative wall and put the quilt aside for about 6 months until she determined that she had to finish it. Robin shared that she learned a lot from making this quilt. She learned a lot about art history that she hadn't known before. She learned some new quilting techniques. And she learned that "I will probably never make another quilt like this as long as I live!!" When Robin received the email about winning, it was after a long day during which she and her husband realized that they would have to say goodbye to the last of the many loved cats they had owned over the years. Robin had actually forgotten about when Road would be sending the notifications out so she was totally blindsided when the email said that she had won. She said that she "actually screamed out loud" when she read the email and then "rushed to tell my husband since this really is 'his' quilt." While Robin would love to say that she spent her prize money on fabric, a new machine, or a quilt retreat, she actually applied it to some household maintenance. She hopes to also spend some of her winnings on "a nice dinner and bottle of wine, too." What does Robin plan to work on in the future? "I have more ideas for quilts than I will ever have time to do. I love color and form so I think I'd like to veer off in the direction of more abstract work but who knows? An interesting idea (actually a title since that's how most of my quilts start) may pop into my head and I'll go off in another direction entirely." Congratulations Robin Gausebeck for winning Road 2018's Outstanding Wall Quilt. ]]>

Beginner's Luck
Do you have it?
Beginner's Luck– Noun. The initial good fortune or success commonly supposed to come to a person who has recently taken up a new pursuit.
At Road 2018, Thalia Patricio had it.
She won 3rd Place-Fantasy for her quilt, The Witch.
The Henderson, Nevada resident had only been quilting "seriously" for the past four years thanks to classes she has enrolled in at her local quilt shop, Quiltique. One class she took, The Dress, a Laura Heine pattern. When Thalia saw the pattern, she immediately thought that it would make a perfect witch. So, she contacted Laura and asked if she would mind if she changed up The Dress to become The Witch. Laura's reply was, "It would be a compliment." So off Thalia went. The fabric used was the key to the Thalia's inspiration. Starting on the collage part first, she would put different fabrics up on her design wall and just let it take on a life of its own. The face of The Witch was based on Tula Pink's fabric line, Nightshade. Thalia had been to Road 5 times in the past and felt she could "never make a quilt good enough to be shown there." After she finished The Witch, Thalia began receiving lots of good comments on Instagram, Facebook and in the quilt shop. So many, that Thalia decided that maybe this quilt was the one "worthy" to enter in Road's Quilt Contest. When she received the letter saying that The Witch was accepted for judging at Road 2018, Thalia "cried." A couple months later, Thalia was in a casino at the slot machines when she got the email that she had won—and she cried again!! Going to Road 2018 and seeing her quilt on display was "the icing on the cake." Where does this beginner's luck recipient go from here? "I hope I'm not a one-hit wonder," said Thalia. "I will be taking more quilt classes at Quiltique and want to try machine embroidery. I think I have an original design in me." Congratulations Thalia Patricio for your first win on your first try at entering a quilt in a quilt show. We were glad you chose Road to California.]]>

Director's Choice Winner
Matt Reese. Because he has a Bachelor's Degree in Tuba Performance from California State University, Long Beach, in the past, he was partial to choosing quilts with a music theme like last year's, Yuja made by Linda C. Anderson. For 2018, Matt left his music roots behind and chose Marilyn Badger's Champagne SuperNova. Marilyn received $5,000 from Sponsor, Moore's Sewing Center. Marilyn is an accomplished, multi-award-winning quilter. She was Road's last Featured Artist, chosen for that honor in 2017. How did Marilyn start out in quilting? Reading the first edition of Quilter's Newsletter Magazine in the 1970's!! At the time, she and her husband were living on a boat and didn't have much room for sewing equipment so she hand pieced a design she saw in the magazine. As she finished the blocks, she would send them to her mother in Tennessee and her church group hand quilted them. Known for her unique quilt designs, Champagne SuperNova was another Marilyn Badger original. Star Quilts had always been a favorite of Marilyn's. This quilt evolved from her desire to make a hand embroidered, embellished, red and black quilt. The black gradated fabric was the first purchase for the quilt. Marilyn added the fireworks because as she explained, "What's an exploding star without a few fireworks in the background?!" After the quilting, when she added the paint, the quilt went from a silverier look to gold. Thus why she chose the name, Champagne SuperNova. Marilyn confided, "The gold theme sort of popped out unexpectedly." It took Marilyn 9 months to make the quilt. She finished it right before the entries were due to Road. In January, she was packing to come to the show when she decided to look at her emails one more time before going to bed. It was then that she saw Road's name in the sender box. What was her reaction when she won? "My heart was beating a little faster than normal when I read the part that said 'Congratulations.' Then I read on and saw where it had won Director's Choice and $5,000. I was totally thrilled and said a big silent thanks to Matt for choosing my quilt!!" Marilyn hasn't decided yet what she is going to do with her prize money. Maybe put it "towards my dream car." She is already ready to put her next quilt on the quilting machine and is hoping it will be ready by Road's next entry deadline. We will definitely be watching out for it!! Follow Marilyn on Facebook to learn more about her quilting adventures. ]]>

Road 2018 Outstanding Artistry Quilt Winner
Lenore Crawford is featured frequently on our blog. Why? Because she has a knack for making award winning quilts.
In 2013, Lenore won Outstanding Art Quilt for Capturing Brittany. She won again in the same category in 2017 for Emma in the Looking Glass. Lenore's latest winning quilt is Pinecones. It won for Outstanding Artistry at Road 2018. Lenore received a cash prize of $5,000 from Sponsor, Handi Quilter. Lenore's award winning quilt journey began around 1995. She had just learned about watercolor quilting with 2" squares and wanted to make impressionistic art quilts with fabric using this technique. Lenore developed her own style using those squares. After about 10 years of doing that technique, she felt she needed a change and tried fusing. A large winter project that took months to complete, Pinecones was inspired by a trip to a nursery that Lenore took with her mom and sister who love conifers. It was in spring and the beauty of the brand new pinecones growing on the trees captured Lenore's imagination. Lenore recalled, "They were bright colors against the dark greens of the branches." What was Lenore doing when she found out she had won? She was watching TV at about 11:00 at night and was just getting ready to go to bed. She quickly looked at her email and was very surprised to see the one from Road. Lenore was so excited to find out that she won that she immediately texted her husband (who was in California; they live in Michigan) to tell him. Next, she posted it on Facebook. Her husband answered the Facebook post before her text!! What does Lenore plan to do with her prize money? "My husband and I are planning to retire at the end of this year. I am going to save it for a trip to either Ireland and Scotland or a riverboat cruise in France." Congratulations Lenore Crawford for another outstanding winning quilt.]]>

Q: CPP: Overloaded nested operator not working I override the addition operation, so that I can add two vectors of my struct Vec3
// addition
Vec3 operator+(Vec3<T> &other) {
    return Vec3(this->x + other.x, this->y + other.y, this->z + other.z);
}
// product with one scalar
Vec3 operator*(float scalar) {
    return Vec3(this->x * scalar, this->y * scalar, this->z * scalar);
}

The Vec3 has just three attributes from type T.
When using it T is a float, and I execute this code:
vec temp = vecOne * skalarOne + vecTwo * scalarTwo;

I get this error:

Binary operator '+' can't be applied to the expressions of type
  'pray::Vec3' and 'pray::Vec3'

I don't get this error if calculationg the multiplication first and save the result in a vector and then doing the vector addition.
Anyone any idea? Thanks!

A: You need to change the function signatures to
Vec3 operator+(const Vec3<T> &other) const
&c., otherwise an anonymous temporary cannot bind to it.

A: You should return a reference to the vec3 like this:
// addition
Vec3 operator+(const Vec3& other) {
    return { x + other.x, y + other.y, z + other.z };
}
// product with one scalar
Vec3 operator*(float scalar) {
    return { x * scalar, y * scalar, z * scalar };
}

Edit: Here is my complete runable solution, if the fix above wont work for you.
template <typename T>
class Vec3 {
public:
    Vec3(T x, T y, T z) : x(x), y(y), z(z) {}
    T x;
    T y;
    T z;

    // addition
    Vec3 operator+(const Vec3<T>& other) {
        return { x + other.x, y + other.y, z + other.z };
    }
    // product with one scalar
    Vec3 operator*(float scalar) {
        return { x * scalar, y * scalar, z * scalar };
    }
};

int main() {
    Vec3<float> a(2, 2, 2);
    Vec3<float> b(1, 2, 3);
    float num = 3;
    Vec3<float> c = a + b;
    Vec3<float> d = a * num;
    Vec3<float> e = a * num + b * num;
}

What we know right now, what we are hoping for, and the way our tappings work….
COUNTDOWN TO GABF TAPPING PARTY!


So often we are inclined to think that the only answer God can give our prayers is "yes." We need to remember that "no" is an answer also. "No" is certainly an answer of love on the part of our Heavenly Father when we ask Him for things which are not really for our good or for His glory. God does not always give us what we want; He gives us what we need. Just as a good parent does not grant all the requests of his child, God does not answer every request in the way we desire.


In this project, I am going to take you step-by-step through the processes I use creating a part on my CNC. I will start with a idea take it from the drawing stage all the way thorough to the completed part. Even if you don't need this part, I recommend you follow along and actually create the part with me as I take you through the process.
If you just want to make the part for your KRMx02 CNC you can download the Gcode here.
Keep in mind the display shown below are based on the KRMx01 and KRMx02 screen sets. They may look slightly different than the Mach 3 screen sets you may be using. Regardless of the screen set, the operations are the same.
In this workflow I am using Vectric's software Cut2D. Cut2D has a big brother called VCarvePro. Its operation as far as this workflow is concerned, is the same. If you purchase Cut2D, you can later do an upgrade to VCarvePro.
First I try and visualize the part I want to make. In this case I am trying to solve a problem. When I raise my Z axis too far the bearings disengage the rails. Not a disaster, but puts undo wear on the upper bearings. The answer is to add a stop block to the bottom of the Z-beam as shown below.
As you can see we have two issues that need to be over come. The first, we need two holes in our stop block that mate with the two threaded holes in the bottom of the beam. Second, we need a small pocket in the block so that we can clear the router mount screws.
The illustration below shows the finished part we need to create.
In order to bring the idea for this part into reality I will use three pieces of software.
First, I will use Corel Draw to design the part. This is the CAD aspect of the workflow. Once I have a drawing file of the part, I will export it into Cut2D.
Cut2D is used to create the tool paths for the CNC controller software. With Cut-2D I will choose the router bit and paths I want to take on each object in the drawing. Once this process is complete Cut2D will export a Gcode file to Mach 3. This is the CAM aspect of my workflow.
Mach 3 uses the Gcode file to tell the CNC machine where to move each of its axis. This is the control aspect of my work flow. This where the part gets made.
Before moving on let me say there are many pieces of software that can be used for the CAD, CAM and control aspects of a work flow. Some software will even combine them. The prices for this software can range from zero to thousands. With free software you generally get what you pay for. What I have chosen is on the low end of the scale but, I have found them to be very productive.
I start with a blank page in Corel and begin designing my part. In most cases its simple geometric shape like rectangles that make up the parts design. In the case of this part I do the following.
I create a rectangle that represents the overall size of my stop block. In this case its 2" x 4.5".
At 1.5" from the edge and .75" from the bottom I add two 3/8" circles.
I then add two .75" x .75" rectangles to each of the corners.
The final part should look like one shown below. It consists of 5 shapes.
Select all 5 shapes and select export option in the File menu. Give the export a name and select the EPS type as shown below.
Once I have my part exported, I load up Cut2D and load the EPS file.
When you start a new Cut2D project you get the Material Setup pane shown below. This allows you to setup the material you will be cutting your part out of. The Width and Height fields will contain the extents of the part, in our case 4.5" x 2"
The first thing you need to change is the width and height of your stock. This is the material you will be cutting your part from. I want a lot of room around the edge so I will choose a piece of stock 6" by 4", as shown in the Width and Height fields.
Next I set the thickness of the stock. In this case it's 3/4" thick or .75".
I un-check "Use origin offset" and check "Center vectors in material". This will center you part in the stock.
Also important is to make sure the XY Origin Position is referenced in the lower left hand as shown below.
The main reason for using Cut2D is to create toolpaths for the CNC. To do this I first select the shapes I want to create a toolpath for. In this case I am going to start with the two holes. I select both holes, then hit the "Create Profile Toolpath" icon located on the right panel, as shown below.
I am then presented with the 2D Profile Toolpath pane shown below. The first thing I change is the depth I want the router bit to cut to. Keep in mind this is not what is cut in a single pass. The toolpath will make precise cuts, progressing deeper with each pass until this depth is reached. In this cas I want to go .02" beyond the stock so I choose .77"
The next thing I do is to select the tool I want to use. In this case I am going to use a .25" End Mill. I could devote a whole project in selecting, editing and using tools. For this project just choose the default .25" End Mill"
I want to cut the center out of the circles so I click on the Inside option for Machine Vectors.
The last thing I do here is name the toolpath. This is helpful when you have many and need to go back and edit one or more.
I then create the toolpath by hitting the "Calculate" button.
Once the holes are calculated I am presented with a preview pane. Here I can click the Preview Toolpath button and see the effect it has on my stock.
Also notice that we now have a toolpath listed in the top of the right pane called "Holes". This represents the actual toolpath I just created.
Once I am done with the preview pane I close it.
In order to create another toolpath I need to get back to the drawing. To do this I hit the Zstop.eps tab in the upper right of the display pane as shown below.
To create the two small pockets in the corner I select the two 3/4" rectangles and hit the "Create Pocket Toolpath" icon, as shown below.
I am then presented with the Pocket Toolpath pane shown below. Again the first thing I change is the depth of the pocket. Again the router will not do this in a single pass. I want my pocket to be 3/8" deep or .375.
The next thing I do is to select the tool I want to use. Again I am going to use a .25" End Mill.
There are a couple options in the way the pocket is created. For now I am going to choose offset.
I change the name of this toolpath to pockets and create the toolpath by hitting the "Calculate" button.
Again I am presented with the preview pane. I hit preview toolpath and the 3D display pain is updated showing the results of my latest tool path.
As before, I close out the preview pane and select my drawing tab.
The last toolpath I need to create is the outside profile of the part. I select the part outline as shown below and hit the "Create Profile Toolpath" icon.
The 2D Profile Toolpath pane is presented once again. I verify that the Cut Depth field is still set to .77", and that the Tool is still the .25" End Mill. I Select the Outside option for the Machine Vectors.
I need to add tabs to the toolpath or the part will become dislodged and be thrown when the part is nearing the end of its profile cut. To add tabs, I select the "Add tabs to toolpath" section and hit "Edit Tabs" button.
I am presented with my drawing, and can now add tabs by clicking on the red outline. I add four tabs to the part and hit the "Close" button.
Once I return to the profile pane, I change the name and hit the "Calculate" button.
When I am presented with the preview pane I hit the "Preview Toolpath" button.
I see what the final part will look like. Notice the small bit of waste left on the corner of the two pockets. There are three ways to remove these.
Leave them they way they are and cut them off once the part has been created.
To convert the toolpaths to Gcode and save them to a file, I click the "Save Toolpath" icon shown below.
This will present the Save Toolpaths pane. I check each of the toolpaths. I check the "Output all visible toolpaths to one file" option.
I ensure the Mach2/3 Arcs (inch) Post Processor is chosen, and hit the "Save Toolpaths to File" button.
I give my Gcode file a name of "Zstop.txt". I hit the "Save" button.
I also save a Cut2D project file. This way I can come back and modify the toolpaths later.
At this point all the CAD/CAM operations are complete. It's time to cut the part.
I will need a piece of 6" x 4" x 1/8" waster board for this project. Waster board is used to keep your bits from cutting your table surface. It is placed under your stock.
I place the 6" x 4" x 1/8" piece of waster board against the fences on my CNC machine. I then place my stock on top of the waster board. Here I am using a piece of 6" x 4" x 3/4" Poplar. Poplar is a good choice for the Z stop. Its firm enough to stop the Z axis, and soft enough to keep from damaging the bearings.
I clamp the stock in place. I like to use two clamps on each of the three exposed axes. Notice the third clamp in between the two clamps on the rear and side of the stock. These don't seem to be holding anything. They are in place to keep the waster board from sliding.
Please note that at the time I created this work flow I had homing switches and Z probes. However I will proceed as though my machine does not have them.
I need to manually reference my machine to the fences at which my stock has been placed. I move the center of my router bit to the tip of the stock as shown below.
With my router bit moved into the reference position, I hit the large button labeled "REF ALL HOME." Hit each of the Zero buttons. The DRO's should display zero and the outline on the buttons should glow green. At this point, my CNC will call this place home. All movements will be based on this position being at x=0, y=0, z=0.
In Mach 3, I load the Gcode file by selecting the "Load G-Code" option in the File menu, as shown below.
I click on the Zstop.txt file and hit the Open button.
Once the Gcode file has been loaded I see the instructions pane has been filled with Gcode instructions. I also see a graphical representation of the toolpaths in the display pane.
Note that if select the Tool Path tab, you will be presented with a screen (shown below) that provides more information about the Gcode you have loaded. The display pane is larger and the programs limits for each axis is displayed.
Please note that at the time I created this work flow I have a relay controlled router. With a relay controlled router, Mach 3 will automatically turn the router on and off. I will proceed as though my router is controlled manually.
I am ready to machine the part. I set the speed of the router to about 14,000 RPMs. Using the jog controls I raise the router off the work surface and power on the router.
I turn on the router.
I have Mach 3 start running the Gcode by hitting the "Cycle Start" button.
The CNC machine then proceeds to cut the part. I keep an eye on the stock, making sure the clamps are holding it secure.
Note that most of my past part failures have been due to the stock moving.
Depending on the material you are cutting you may have to clean the part. Poplar tends to leave little fibers attached to the upper edges. These are easily removed with a light sanding. You will also have to use a chisel to square up the outside edges. The cleaned up Z stop should look like the one shown below.
You may want to paint your Z stop. You can use a latex or a oil based paint. The latex will dry faster. The oil based will give a better finish. Be sure to sand between coats.
Take two 5/16-18 x 1-1/2" hex bolts, and add a 5/16 lock washer, 5/16 washer. Insert the bolts into the two holes of the Z stop and then into the tapped holes in the bottom of the Z beam, as shown below.
Your Z stop is now installed.
For those of you who want to try using Fusion 360 to make this part, here is a workflow sent in by a fellow KRMx02 builder.

Hartsfield-JacksonAirport
Father of Aviation in Atlanta!
Mayor William B. Hartsfield
Friday's Fabulous Flyer
Dale Hartsfield asked me when I was coming to his airport.
"Your airport?" I asked.
That's when he shared his history...
Dale Hartsfield writes:
"William B Hartsfield was a City Alderman in 1923, when he was given the job to go find some land for an airport in Atlanta. The problem was most people had not even seen an airplane up close if at all and asked what is an Airport and why do we need one?
What Atlanta's airport looked like in the mid 1920's.
Hartsfield, along with others ended up leasing and then purchasing 296 acres for Atlanta's airport. Hartsfield went on to become The longest serving Mayor in Atlanta serving 6 terms / 24 years. He is generally considered to be the Father of Aviation in Atlanta! The city named the airport for Hartsfield 8 days after his death in 1971.
In 2003, Atlanta's first African American Mayor died and the city decided to rename the airport. But, a fight began among many citizens including me.
Dale Hartsfield
I went on to become the Hartsfield family spokesperson. At first, the city wanted to drop the Hartsfield name altogether and and make it Jackson international. By then it was already the busiest airport in the world. My friends said if I had not stood up and fought today the Airport would be Jackson international. Although I am still not thrilled with the Hyphenated name, we did ok fighting City Hall.
Atlanta's airport-what
The Terminal looked like when it was
named Hartsfield in 1971.
Some said it was a racial thing.
To me it was a family thing.
After the renaming from Hartsfield Atlanta International to what had got to be the longest airport name in the world...Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, people said I should write a book on my experience and the history of the Airport. Right!!
But in 2008 I began to write it. I had never written a book. It took over 6 years to finish with 100's of hours of research. The book came out in November 2014.
You can see a preview on my website http://www.Hartsfieldspeakers.com It is an interesting story for anyone who likes, history, Aviation and/ or politics!"

The plaque was put up in 1971
and is still at airport terminal.
Next time I'm there...
I hope to be reading Dale's book!

I have been evading my responsibilities for most of this month, as I have resorted to what I have called "clipjoints" rather than much original text. It's been that kind of month, with much more interesting things going on outside than in.
Case in point, the explosion (well, for this lonely corner of the 'sphere) of interest enjoined by the last post, regarding Unity08. Sure did change the look of my WordPress statistics graph. Nerve struck, indeed.
Many thanks to ClapSo, whose thoughtful and passionate responses prompted me to take a look at his blog with which I am quite impressed. I don't think I'm quite ready to be as extreme as he is, but he certainly makes a strong case for the bankruptcy (except of cash!) of our existing political system.
Campaign politics is likely to become even more consuming of time and attention than ever this election season, and no better example exists than this column found in the always fascinating and incisive TechCrunch (–>). This article from yesterday is particularly telling.
ElectionVine is a new service being launched today by NewsVine that allows users to embed a US Presidential candidate poll on their sites.
He has included said widget — try it out if you like. On his site: I was bummed that our flavor-of-the-week, Michael Bloomberg is not listed. So, no way I'm putting that widget here, even if WordPress's technology would allow it or if I could figure it out if they did.
I'm still ready to join up, Mike!

Ah, thanks. But you give me too much credit for the upswing. It's the political dissatisfaction that made hits happen. Everywhere I go people are more and more unhappy. They want a different approach, and that different approach is an alternative to the best of two evils.
I'm sorry you find this extreme, but it really is the "mood" of the country. There's a storm abrewin' and I see this being at least 4, and 5 with unity08 included, viable ticket presidential race. With a whole host of other lesser known candidates besides.
This could be the election that blows the two party system asunder. I know you probably won't agree, but I think that would be a good thing.
You should continue to see "new faces" here about. My stats have shown no sign of going anywhere but up for the almost two months I've been writing it.
You hit it on the head with the title of this post. A nerve has been struck. Thanks for taking part, you get credit too (or is it blame?) 😉 for all this!

Notting Hill colour 1994
Thursday, October 22nd, 2020
In 1994 I set out to photograph carnival both in black and white and in colour, and while my colour images concentrate on the people in the procession and their costumes, it was a little more varied than in previous years, with more overlap with the black and white work.
So I took some pictures of the people watching the carnival in colour and perhaps rather more than in previous years where the carnival was the background rather than the main subject.
I was working with colour negative film, and exposures were a little more critical than with black and white, which has greater latitude. There are some I could not get good prints from in the darkroom, and although digitising makes it a little easier there are still some where the colour is not as good as I would like.
But despite these problems I was encouraged by the results , and the following year for various reasons photographed Notting Hill almost entirely in colour.
There are around 60 colour pictures from 1994 beginning some way down page 6 of my Notting Hill in the 90s album and continuing onto the next page. Clicking on any of the pictures above will also take you to larger versions in this album.

Panoramic Carnival 1992
Although I'd been making the occasional panoramic image over the years, taking a series of pictures and painstakingly cutting and pasting several prints to produce a seldom quite convincing join, it was only late in 1991 that I finally bought a camera capable of taking true panoramic images.
It's hard now to imagine how difficult it was to produce panoramic images back in those pre-digital days – unless you could afford an expensive panoramic camera. Nowadays many cheaper digital cameras come with a 'panoramic' mode (though I've never managed to use one to produce an image that survived close scrutiny) and both specialised "stitching" software and more general programs such as Photoshop make joining several frames just a matter of a few clicks.
It was the Soviet Union, and Krasnogorsky Mechanicheskiy Zavod (KMZ) that first introduced a reasonably priced panoramic camera to a wider audience, with the Horizont, available from 1966-73, but at the time I wasn't interested in panoramic photography. Like their Zenith SLR cameras which I started serious photography with this was pretty basic and had a possibly undeserved reputation as being something of a problem to use.
When I bought my first panoramic camera in 1991 it was a Japanese model, a Widelux F8, a similar swing lens camera to the Horizont but with a wider 140 degree angle of view and rather smoother operation. It was also considerably more expensive and I think cost me almost a month's salary.
Although the camera worked smoothly, its viewfinder was abysmal, and I made landscape pictures with the camera on a tripod and using two arrows showing the field of view on the top of the camera body, with a spirit level in the accessory shoe to level the camera. But for the carnival and similar images of events I used it handheld.
In later years I bought the revised version of the Russian camera, now with a similar mechanism encased in a plastic body and called Horizon (there were several slightly different models.) The viewfinder was so much better than than Widelux and thankfully incorporated a spirit bubble – and the cameras were less than a tenth of the price (I used at least two over the years, one ridiculously cheap from a clearly illegal operation in the Ukraine, evading any customs duties.)
The only colour images I can find from Notting Hill Carnival in 1992 were taken with the Widelux, and appear to have been taken in two relatively short periods, one on Ladbroke Grove and the other on Elkstone Rd. There are some more, some rather similar to those in this post, in my Flickr album Notting Hill Panoramas -1992.

Hull Colour – 9
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2020
Time for the last post on my series of colour pictures from Hull in my Flickr album which covers the period up to 1985. I didn't stop photographing Hull then, but I did stop using slide film around the middle of that year, and some of the pictures in the album from 1985 were made using colour negative film. Although this made it easier to get good prints and allowed me to work with a wider range of subjects, it does make the images harder to digitise. I'll write more about this at a later date. The first few images here are from slides and later ones from negatives.
Barge moored in River Hull, Hull 1983
As well as the colour I was attracted by the seemingly random numbers on the building and the ordered line of them on the prow of the barge, indicating the draught – the distance from the waterline to the lowest part of the hull. This barge, R38, is more or less empty and I think floating, its draught below the lowest mark of 4 (I think in feet), but when fully loaded would be at 9 or a little above. The slide mount crops the image rather more than I intended when making this picture.
Factory, River Hull, 1983
There are new industries on land adjoining the River Hull, particularly on the northern outskirts of the city, around Stockholm Rd, Malmo Rd and Bergen Way, names reflecting the traditional trade, still continuing across the North Sea into the port of Hull. I think this picture was probably made just to the north of Sutton Road bridge.
For me the bank of reeds expressed that these new industries have turned their backs to the river, while traditionally Hull's industries had been on wharves and dependent on the River Hull for the transport in of raw materials – whale oil, agricultural products and later petroleum products and sometimes the export of bulk products such as edible oils. Now everything moves by lorry.
It is just possible still to recognise this as the view looking upstream from Chapman St Bridge, as the low sheds at left are still standing (or at least were in 2019) but I think most of the rest of the buildings in this view have disappeared and ships such as the Lee Shore and the other vessel upstream on the left bank no longer moor here.
The cocoa works on the right bank was razed to the ground around 10 years ago, and is now Energy Works, a renewable energy site built with the aid of a grant of almost £20 million from the European Regional Development Fund which will power 43,000 homes from waste and develop innovative technologies together with the University of Hull.
S Low's laundry had long amused me as I regularly travelled along Spring Bank either on foot or more often on the top deck of a Hull Corporation Bus, and I photographed it a number of times. This was the first I had taken on colour negative film and I'm not sure that the colour is as accurate as on the two different versions on slide film you can also see in the album.
This building is still there on Spring Bank, now painted very drably grey and no longer a shop.
Humber Dock Side/Blanket Row, Hull 1985
I apologise for the green cast in this image which I should really correct, but it is perhaps appropriate given that this location, now the Humber Dock Bar and Grill overlooking the marina, describes itself as "Formerly the Green Bricks".
The picture shows that before becoming a pub and restaurant the area was home to Charles Batte and the Kingston Fruit Co and along the street a number of other businesses, and the green glazed bricks of the pub, opened in 1806 as the New Dock Tavern and around 1838 renamed as the Humber Dock Tavern, taller than the rest of the row, are only just visible above the parked blue van. The green bricks by the Leeds Fireclay Co. Ltd probably date from 1907 and the pub was locally listed in 2006.
This was the final picture from Hull in the album Hull Colour 1972-85 (though I may add more later) which ends with some pictures from Goole.

PS Lincoln Castle – Humber Ferry, 1972
Before the Humber Bridge was opened in 1981, ferries transported passengers and cars across the Humber from the pier in Hull to New Holland in Lincolnshire, where a train service took passengers on to Grimsby and other stations. For drivers it avoided the journey to Boothferry Bridge near Goole, 28 miles away up river – and a similar journey back on the opposite bank. By the mid-70s an alternative route for many journeys had been provided by the M62 viaduct a mile or so east of the Boothferry Bridge – which largely removed the necessity for the Humber Bridge.
The Lincoln Castle was a great improvement on the other paddle steamers when she came into service in 1941, and was much loved by the time she was replaced by a more economical diesel-powered ferry in 1978. For a short time she was grounded on the beach at Hessle as a restaurant – where I went for afternoon tea – and later in the same role in Grimsby. By 2009 her condition had deteriorated and after attempts to preserve the ship failed was scrapped in 2010.
I travelled across on the ferry a couple of times, took a few pictures in New Holland and took the ferry back. It was a good family outing, particularly for our two young boys as the ship had been constructed to give passengers a good view of the engine room and steam engine.
Old Harbour, Hull 1977
You can still walk beside the River Hull in the Old Town, and it remains an interesting walk, but back in the 1970s there was still some commercial activity, and at the right times of the tide vessels would pass up or down past these largely redundant barges, moored here three deep.
This was the original harbour of Hull, before the docks were built, though there were many wharves upstream both in Hull and further north to Beverley and beyond, and the river remains navigable. Although traffic had dropped markedly there were still a number of industrial sites still using the river in the 1970s and into the present century.
Old Town, Hull 1977
Wooden crates were being burnt in a bin down an alley and producing an almost comic book head of flame, a beacon in the shadow of the alley. Flames are always something of a challenge for photography, generally resulting in burned out highlights that have nothing to do with their temperature but simply their intensity. I was surprised that transparency film with its very limited exposure range handled this so well, more I think a matter of luck than expertise.
Terrace, Hull 1981
Widely publicised as a "fairytale wedding" and the "wedding of the century", the marriage Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer on Wednesday 29 July 1981 clearly caught the imagination of many in Hull, and I photographed some of the decorations painted on derelict buildings and here on a typical Hull "terrace', though I cannot remember its location.
Many of Hull's roads have these short pedestrian terraces at right angles to the main street to pack more houses into a small area. Not all have such neatly maintained fences and gardens, but almost all are too narrow for them to have been converted to take cars.
The black cat halfway down the street didn't bring the unhappy couple much luck.
Wincolmlee, Hull 1980
Wincolmlee runs roughly parallel to the River Hull, on the road side of the wharves along its west bank, from the north of the Old Town up to Air St, a little over a mile. Lime St, runs in the same way on the east side of the river a little less than half the distance.
Much of Hull's industry involved agricultural oils and there were storage tanks on both sides of the river. I think these colour-coded pipes probably linked some of them, but what attracted me as well as their colours were the clouds of steam.
Scott warehouse, Hull 1980
Hull's unlisted riverside properties have largely been demolished with some notable losses. But John A Scott's warehouse in Alfred Gelder St was converted to flats around 1980, the work going on while I took this picture involving making windows in what had been a largely or entirely blank wall.
It isn't in itself a very exciting building, but it's river frontage now fits better with the listed building immediately downstream than a new build.
Quite a few buildings in the industrial area around Wincolmlee which in areas of higher property values – such as London – would have been converted to luxury flats have simply been demolished or are still largely derelict. But the area has perhaps been given a boost by the 'Bankside Gallery' of graffiti which sprang up following the intervention by Banksy.
Mud, Hull 1980
I'm unsure as the the actual location or date of this picture – one of the great majority of my slides which lack any captioning. But it is certainly one of Hull's docks, almost certainly Humber Dock, Railway Dock or Humber Dock Basin. The reflections in the wet mud give some clues, but not enough for me to be sure.
These docks close to the centre of the city had been unused for some years and were all heavily silted with Humber mud. Considerable dredging was required to make Humber Dock usable as Hull Marina, which opened in 1983.
S Not W, Hull 1980
I deliberately cropped the message which I think was written on the wooden side of a dockside shed to give the rather enigmatic message 'S NOT W'. Unfortunately I can no longer remember the entire text, though the letter after W is clearly E, and not as I hoped A for an anti-war slogan.
The saturated red which attracted me, at least in part because it matched the colour of the painted letters, was the roof of a car.
British Extracting Co Ltd, Hull 1980
This former British Extracting Company silo on the side of the River Hull was built in 1919 and one of a number of similar buildings in Hull and elsewhere designed by Gelder & Kitchen of Hull. It has regularly been visited and photographed in recent years by urban explorers.
Sir Alfred Gelder (1855-1941) was born in North Cave and became a Hull councillor in 1895, serving five terms in a row as Mayor from 1898-1903 and overseeing the extensive redevelopment of the city after which he was knighted. He was Liberal MP for Brigg from 1910-1918. A Methodist, he founded his architectural practice in Hull in 1878 and designed a wide range of buildings including several Methodist chapels in the city and elsewhere as well as many flour and oilseed crushing mills, including the first roller mill for fellow Methodist Joseph Rank and other buildings for Ranks's son, J Arthur Rank.
Llewellyn Kitchen, (1869-1948) from Manchester joined Gelder as chief assistant in 1892 after having worked for a number of architects elsewhere and soon became the junior partner in the practice, although he appears to have been the more interesting architect of the pair. Kitchen was also a leading freemason in the area.
Gelder and Kitchen LLP is still in business, the second oldest firm of architects in the UK today.

Norwood to Brixton: TQ31
My pictures from TQ31, a 1km wide strip of London begin at Norwood Grove with a picture of the 'White House' there, a fine building dating from the early 19th century on the edge of Croydon. It's a total mystery to me what I was doing there in 1991, but I did photograph this house again in 1996 but on a dull, overcast day. Possibly I was on a family walk and we had gone to look at its gardens which are listed with the house.
Hairdressers are a good example of businesses that can be set up with relatively little capital expenditure, and are often quite individual in the furnishing of their shops and window displays. I don't think there are any real chains or franchises in the trade, either for barbers, unisex or ladies salons. And given the nature of the business the windows often include representations of heads – drawn and photographed (as in this case) or even three-dimensional, making them of great interest to me. Something that the differential fading of the colour image at the right only added to.
It was definitely the colour that attracted me to this cafe on the Dulwich Rd at Herne Hill, set off by the white porcelain ashtray. Getting the colour right in the darkroom (it wasn't on the enprint) proved a little difficult, but the ashtray and the CocaCola box were good reference points and this was one of the pictures I exhibited in the 1990s
Brixton was a place I loved to visit for its colour and vibrancy. Back in the early days I went there quite frequently to buy cheap outdated photographic paper from A.W.Young Photographic in Altantic Rd. Later I used to go to Photofusion in Electric Lane to go to exhibition openings and take in pictures for their photo-library. This was Sherlock Electrical Repairs in Railton Rd, and they seemed to specialise in vacuum cleaners.
I bought some pamphlets and magazines from the 121 Centre in Railton Rd, on the corner of Chaucer Rd. It was a squatted anarchist social centre, and later in 1999 I went to at least one party in the street outside when it was threatened with eviction.
The centre had been squatted in 1973 by Olive Morris and became and anarchist social centre around the time of the 1981 Brixton riots, when Railton Rd was the "front line!, later gaining an international reputation for the groups and events it hosted. Set on fire by right-wing thugs in 1993, it recovered but was evicted by Lambeth Council in 1999 despite a determined and well-organised campaign of resistance. Property values in the area had risen dramatically and Lambeth who perhaps hadn't been worried when Brixton property was almost worthless decided to take the property back.
More from Brixton in a later post. You can see these and other pictures in the Flickr album TQ31 London Cross-section. As I write there are still more pictures to add of TQ31 north of Stockwell.

Romeo & Heads etc – TQ30
The Grid reference TQ30 continues north of Kings Cross and Pentonville up through Lower Holloway, Holloway and Upper Holloway and on to Hornsey, taking in a few areas to the side on its way. You can see my colour pictures from this strip of North London on page 4 of TQ30 London Cross-section.
I think it was largely the name which attracted me to the rather run-down premises of the Romeo Trading Co Ltd which gave no indication of what their business had entailed, and I could only speculate. Perhaps its name was connected with its address which was on Roman Way. The company still exists, though now in Edmonton and has a web site which includes the following text:
"Since its establishment in 1941, forming strong roots in military surplus, Romeo Trading Co Ltd has developed into a company with a manufacturing facility for all military and casual wear, together with its related products."
Hornsey Rd had a number of interesting shops and provided some examples for various series of shops I was working on.
One of these was collecting heads, and this Hairdressers shop window had a couple of fine examples.
and there was another further north in Hornsey itself.
Fytos Fashion was another business that attracted me in part because of its name, which I read it as 'Photos' (but is really a Cypriot name.) But there was also the rather strangely bagged garments hanging in the window (no doubt to protect them from dust) and the large text below 'WE SELL RETAIL BRIDALS, BRIDESMAIDS, CHRISTENING, HOLY COMMUNION'. Unfortunately you can no longer buy a bridesmaid here as this is now a nail care shop.
Another series I was taking was of cafés, and there was another fine example further north on Hornsey Rd.
And some really odd reflections in a shop offering shoe repairs.
These are just a few of the pictures on the page, which also includes a number of factory and workshop premises – mainly in a block now occupied by new flats, shopfronts and shop windows, houses, a view of north London rooftops, and ends with a distant view of Alexandra Palace and a less distant view of a gasholder.

Dancing and Dereliction – TQ30
Saturday, June 6th, 2020
North of Covent Garden in the 1km wide strip of London in TQ30 we come into the areas of St Pancras in LB Camden (which includes Kings Cross) and Pentonville in Islington which were largely outside the tourist zone, apart from housing a number of hotels, none of which appear in my colour pictures from 1986-93.
Businesses here catered for London, and many were failing thanks to changes in technology and the de-industrialisation of our economy. A large swathe was blighted by plans for development of the railway lands, including much outside the actual rail areas that were threatened by demolition, though thanks to local opposition much has so far been saved.
North of Kings Cross there was to be wholesale demolition, and even listed buildings were not safe. The gasholders that were such a prominent landmark in the area were soon to be dismantled, with some being re-erected some distance away on the opposite side of the canal.
And the dancers on the side of Stanley Buildings were having their final dance before they and the other nearby buildings were demolished.
Perhaps surprisingly I took few pictures of the Regent's Canal in colour, though rather more in black and white, but I had photographed around here fairly extensively in the previous few years and perhaps felt I had little more to say.
But it was good to have a picture of the road side of Charles Bartlett, Export Packers & Shippers, whose chimney and works dominate this stretch of the canal.
But the road that fascinated me most was the Caledonian Road and its side streets, as a number of the pictures here show. You can see these and others on the third page of my album TQ30 London Cross-section.

TQ30 Covent Garden
Friday, June 5th, 2020
Continuing the one kilometre wide strip of London TQ30 north from Westminster leads to Covent Garden, which by the time I took these pictures around 1989 had already become a tourist Mecca. The market had closed and moved to Nine Elms a dozen years earlier in 1974 and many trendy businesses had moved into the area.
Among them were many clubs and eateries joining those that there already in an area of theatres and of course the Opera House. Opposite that was Bow Street Magistrate's Court, still in business (it closed in 2006), one of London's best-known legal landmarks, where many famous and infamous had come to trial.
Just to its north is a wide alley, Broad Court, with a fine row of red telephone boxes and a statue of a young dancer, though I'm not sure why facing the Opera House was thought to be an appropriate position for her.
Elvis was not far away, in Great Queen St. It was had to tell from many of the shop windows exactly what business they were in, but one of the strangest was in Betterton St – The Albanian Shop, where you could buy the thoughts and probably a bust of 'The Iron Fist of Albania' and which doubled as 'The Gramophone Exchange'. It is alas no longer with us.
Doubtless there is still much of interest in Covent Garden, if in normal times you can see any of it for the hordes of tourists. It's an area of London I now tend to avoid, but back then was always an interesting and often surreal experience.
More pictures mainly on the second page of TQ30 London Cross-section.

Scanning London
TQ1985
A few months back I was lying prone inside a giant metal tube on a flat bed which moved me slowly backwards as successive slices across my body were scanned for the purposes of research, and the CT scan reminded me of a project on London which I began in the 1980s.
Nowadays we are all familiar with the idea of geotagging and some cameras can add geotags to the Exif date as you photograph, while gadgets can be fixed onto other cameras to add the data. Smartphones do the same, as they always track you position. The web site https://www.geograph.org.uk Geograph was set up in 2005 to "collect geographically representative photographs and information for every square kilometre of Great Britain and Ireland" and so far 13,114 contributors have submitted 6,397,064 images covering 280,384 of the 1km grid squares, still leaving around 15% should you wish to strike new ground.
I've occasionally added geotags to my own landscape pictures in Lightroom, using a free little phone app by one of my sons, 'Easy GPS Logger' which records GPS location and time data to a file. You load this into LR along with the pictures, match up any one of them with a particular place on a map and LR then uses the file to add the information to the other pictures. There are only two problems – remembering to turn on the logger at the start of your walk, and secondly to turn it off when you finish!
Back in 1986, the only way to add location data to your photographs was by hand, using a map to find the grid reference. Of course you had to know where you were to do so. I had the idea of doing a series of South to North cross-sections of London based on the Eastings and Northings of the National Grid using colour negative film.
Rather than attempting a series of south-north walks, I simply took a camera with colour negative film on more normal walks while I was photographing London in black and white, then sent the films for processing and printing 6×4″ enprints. When these came back from processing I'd sort out those I wanted to keep and use a map to find the grid references and add these and the date with a technical pen along the lower edge of the print. The date meant (at least in theory) I could find the negatives in my files.
At first I glued the prints onto card sheets to file them under the grid reference in a set of A4 files, but this soon became tedious and I bought filing sheets which held 8 prints, four on each side. Each of the kilometre grid squares had its own filing sheet, and some soon had several, with the series expanding to fill around a dozen A4 files. Each file holds around 50 double-sided sheets and so could hold around 400 prints, though many sheets are not full, so the project probably has around 3,000 or 4,000 prints.
Of course what was more important were the scenes I chose to photograph. I carried in my wallet a reminder of things I was interested in photographing (an idea picked up from reading a list made by Walker Evans), in a small zipped pocket together with a folded £20 note for emergencies. Of course colour was important, not just for itself, but as an illustration of how and why colour was used, and I had a great interest in representations of people and things, in ethnic differences and in the evolution and fashion of colour.
I can't remember exactly when I ended the project, though it certainly continued well into the 1990s. But at some point I stopped sending colour negative film to be processed and began developing it myself, and producing enprints wasn't really an option. Instead I made 8×10″ contact prints and worked from these, producing very many fewer but larger prints.
Over the years I've probably published or shown only around a hundred of these pictures, the largest group from 1986-90 in the book dummy and web site 'Café Ideal, Cool Blondes, and Paradise'
As with my black and white images of London, this is a body of work which I think has a great deal of historical interest as well as some photographic interest and it would be good to see it in some permanent museum or similar collection rather than simply gathering dust on my shelves.
There are no adverts on this site and it receives no sponsorship, and I like to keep it that way. But it does take a considerable amount of my time and thought, and if you enjoy reading it, please share on social media.
And small donations via Paypal – perhaps the cost of a beer – would be appreciated.

This page contains statistics specifically concerning honor violence. For more general statistics covering domestic abuse or danger to women, see Marriage and Women. For physical and sexual abuse of children, see Children.
Helsingin Sanomat reported on Sunday that according to the Mannerheim League for Child Welfare, thousands of girls particularly in immigrant families with a Muslim background are afraid of their immediate relatives, while being subjected to physical or mental violence.
According to statistics provided by the Kurdistan Regional Government, 59 women were murdered in the first six months of this year. But local non-governmental organizations say the rate is much higher.
Nearly 1,000 women and girls in Pakistan were murdered in 2011 in honour killings, worrying figures have revealed.
A new report by Pakistan's leading human rights group has revealed at least 943 women were killed last year by their fathers, husbands or brothers for damaging their family name. Ninety-three of those killed were minors.
However, the true number of those killed is thought to be far higher. Many cases are thought to have been covered up by relatives and sympathetic police officers, the report revealed.
The figure of 943 was an increase of more than 100 the previous year in 2010.
Honor killings are considered part of Chechen tradition. No records are kept, but human rights activists estimate that dozens of women are killed [in Chechnya] every year.
A large number of young British Asians support violence against women who 'dishonour' their families, a Panorama investigation will claim today.
The hard-hitting BBC documentary reveals more than two thirds of Asians between the ages of 16 and 34 say communities should live according to 'honour' or 'izzat'.
Research carried out for the show found nearly one in five – 18 per cent – said certain acts thought to shame families were justification for violence.

For the last month I have been looking everywhere for a western/colonel tie. A simple accessory that I've been wanting to slip into a few looks but I did not want to settle for a crappy clip on from a costume shop.
Luckily when I was doing my weekly online window shop at ASOS I found exactly whats I was after!
Not a fan of white shirts well don't you worry ASOS have 3 more colours/designs for you to mix and match up with any colour shirt.
Thank you to the brilliant Tharaka for working with me on these images and another set (coming soon). Please check out his work and if you are local hire him for some amazing shots!
These two shots and another set to be featured very soon were shot at Eurotrash & Berlin Bar in the Melbourne CBD. I also used this location when I featured the Wheels & Dollbaby Cardigan earlier this year (read more here). If you are local get down there whenever you can for some amazing cocktails, funky tunes and brilliant decor!
love your style... great blog!!!

Stabbed in the head by Daniel Salazar. (Before Reanimation)
Miguel is shot to death by Luis. Later, he is put down by Daniel before reanimation.
Miguel is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's Fear The Walking Dead. He is an officer of the Mexican Navy and patrols the coast of Baja California.
Nothing is known about Miguel before the outbreak started aside from the fact that he was a Mexican Naval Officer. He also knew Luis before the apocalypse.
Miguel is among the Mexican Navy stationed in Baja California, patrolling the coast. He boards The Abigail alongside Vazquez. He & his fellow officer negotiate a trade with Luis and Strand. After seeing that the boat is too big for just two people, he demands to see the rest of the boat. After a disagreement, he and Vazquez shoot at Luis and Strand. While both officers are killed, one of them manage to mortally wound Luis.
Killed By
Luis Flores (Alive, Off-Screen)
After asking for more gold to allow the group to cross the boarder into Mexico, a small shoot out ensues and Luis manages to shot Miguel to death.
Daniel Salazar (Before Reanimation)
Daniel grabs a knife from one of the coast guards and proceeds to stab both Miguel and Vazquez in the brain in order to prevent them from reanimating.
This list shows the victims Miguel has killed:
Luis Flores (Alive, alongside Vazquez)
Possibly numerous counts of zombies and unnamed people
The casting call for this character used the name Colonel Gomez.
He is described as "a pompous military commander".[1]
This character was ultimately left uncredited.
In the sneek peak for the episode "Sicut Cervus" is called "McAllen" by Strand, although in the episode was called Miguel.
Judging by the rank insignia on his shoulder board, Miguel holds the rank of Ship Lieutenant.
