Old Ford Motor Factory, Singapore
Jump to navigation Jump to search
English: The Old Ford Motor Factory in Singapore, built by Ford Motor Works in October 1941, was the first motor car assembly plant in Southeast Asia. However, Japanese forces invaded Singapore shortly thereafter, and the factory became the site of the historic surrender of the British to the Japanese on 15 February 1942, at the end of the Battle of Singapore in World War II. The remains of building were declared a national monument on the 64th anniversary of the surrender on 15 February 2006, and is presently managed by the National Archives of Singapore as an exhibition gallery and repository called Memories at Old Ford Factory.


BOXERgeom is an innovative product based on a revolutionary, next generation Digital Geometry modelling kernel.
Design optimization freed from the constraints of BREP NURBS.
Understand & mitigate in-service geometry degradation & wear, to better manage life & MRO costs.
Coupled in parallel to BOXERmesh which reliably delivers a solvable mesh whatever the geometry.
BOXERgeom uses Digital Geometry kernel capabilities to provide robust boolean operations, geometry editing and sculpting. All in an entirely topology-independent and unconstrained manner- and all coupled to the fast and automated meshing of BOXERmesh. This avoids the usual issues associated with mesh deformation, providing fast and robust enviroment for design edits coupled to physical modelling.
BOXERgeom can alter a geometric surface in response to an arbitrary surface scalar value such as temperature, pressure, x-location, particle impact frequency etc. The surface can be made to move outward (add material) or inward (remove material) to model particle build-up, icing, erosion or burn-out in response to the local scalar value.
- In-service part degradation
- Particulate Build Up
The unique capability of BOXERgeom allows the user to deform geometries using solver data.
- Import and mesh the new or manufactured part geometry.
- Obtain data such as corrosion rate, erosion rate, particulate flow from simulation software of your choice.
- Using BOXERgeom, apply data to deform geometry (predict erosion, corrosion and particulate build up).
- Mesh the generated geometry and simulate to understand in-service part performance.
- Use the updated data from simulation to further deform and update geometry through part life.
Boiler Tube Fouling
Choke Valve Erosion
Particle flow data was used on the choke valve geometry to model erosion. The eroded geometry can be meshed and exported for analysis to identify failure point for the part.
Level-set A-B shape morphing allows users to generate shape change for a geometry by smoothly morphing the entire geometry envelope from a source (Shape ‘A’) to a target (Shape ‘B’). All intermediate shapes which are an evolution of A-to-B are directly available for meshing and model creation. The morphing process runs in parallel and can therefore accommodate large and detailed models with large variations in length scale.
Understand Part Degradation
The A to B morph level set allows visualisation and analysis of components as they age. Import geometry of new and in-service/ failed component and use the morph tool to visualize how the component may have degraded over time.The morph level set tool will allow users to mesh and export geometry at intermediate stages of the morph for analysis.
Smoothly deform shapes based on the displacement of a lattice of control points which surround and enclose the geometry.
The user interface for setting up and moving the control points in BOXERgeom are based on direct interaction with the graphical scene using drag handles, and the geometry updates in near-real-time following a change in control point position.

Dom and I used to have a spending addiction; any money that came our way, would go straight back out again. This year however, we’re trying to make a conscious decision to swap the spending for saving. Today, we were put to the ultimate test by visiting our favourite garden centre. It’s a garden centre that not only offers a wide range of plants, it also sells home interiors, toys, the most incredible hand-carved wooden furniture, oh, and cake. Usually, we’d have been spent up and wondering how we were ever going to afford our next meal once we arrived home, but this time we stayed strong and only bought what we intended to buy, a plant. Hurray to us!
If you’re trying to save money this year too, Zeek is a great way to do it. Zeek is an online marketplace where you can not only buy gift vouchers at a discounted rate, but you can also sell any of your own unwanted gift vouchers too. It’s a great way to save money without even thinking about it if you use it on the weekly shop! There’s a link in my bio that will take you to 25% off Mothercare vouchers, you’ve got two hours, thank me later!

I had two days left to use my Seishin Juhachi Kippu ( Seishin 18 Ticket) for the summer. This is a special discount ticket which allows you unlimited train travel on all local JR lines in Japan for five days. This time decided to head back up to Niigata to a city called Ojiya, a town famous for making and using the largest fireworks shells in Japan and delicious southern grown koshihikari rice and bullfighting! The bulls here are more well-mannered than the bulls in Pomplona, Spain.
On the way there, I stopped over in Ikaho to stretch my legs in a nice onsen. From Yokohama to Gunma is over two and a half hours, so I needed to get the blood flowing again. After finishing up there, I headed to Shibukawa Station to continue my journey. I stopped over in Echigo Yuzawa to check-in to my hotel and drop off my bags. Wet my whistle with some delicious sake then headed back to the station to catch the 5pm train bound for Ojiya Station - 59 minutes.
This sake is called Birokuchou - Jazakari by Niigata Meijo. The reason I purchased it is because it is only brewed and sold in Niigata, and nowhere else. They do not sell it outside of Niigata. A truly wonderful sake with excellent flavor profiles. The guinom i is called "shiho-hai" and it's a must-have sake ware if you want to use it for drinking chilled sake.
Naturally of course the hot spring had to be enjoyed as well, and so I entered it and went straight to heaven. Hot with nice calcium aromatics in the nose.
On the way up to Ojiya, I cracked open the train window to let in the fresh air. It was so cool and fresh as the afternoon sun began to wane. I was thoroughly sauced with some great sake and freshly made soba. The trip to Ojiya was essential. There are many great fireworks shows in Japan, each with their own unique style. In some of my other posts on fireworks I mentioned about technical merits and sound composition being two of the most important steps in grading a good fireworks performance.
I often tell people the best time to come up this way, or anywhere in Hokuriku or Tohoku, is either in June or late September when the rice paddies change colors. Around July you can see water soaked rice fields, and in late September you can see golden rice field ready to be harvested.
|I arrived just at sunset. From Ojiya Station to Katakai is a 30 minute taxi ride. I paid 3000 yen. Buses are infrequent, as you would expect in the countryside.|
Video footage will be added shortly... The snippet with sake is a Monk's Sake, or holy sake you drink after offering up a prayer.

In a study analyzing data recorded from Stopspillet, the regulator revealed some interesting statistics.
Males make up 87% of callers, 35% of whom are between the ages of 18-25, with almost half reporting that they started gambling when they were under 18. Many of those who called in reported suffering from gambling problems for over two years.
These results work to back up previous studies that suggested gambling from a young age increases the risk of addiction.
Online gambling represented the most common type of gambling, with 62% of callers reporting using this method. Land and retail-based gambling made up 26%, with other forms of gambling 12%.
When looking at the differences between men and women, Danish men tend to spend more on gambling than women, $1799 per month compared to $1269 per month. Conversely, women typically spend more time gambling than men, 30 hours per week compared to 19 hours per week.
Women were found to be the most likely to call the helpline as a relative concerned about a family member’s gambling, with women aged 46-55 doing so most frequently.
In July, Spillemyndigheden announced plans to implement a nationwide crackdown on money laundering, identifying problem sectors including cryptocurrency, money transfer companies, and the gambling industry.

Ultra was an interesting album, in that it was their first in four years — an unprecedented timelapse for the band at the time, whose last stretch (between Violator and Songs of Faith… and not including the SoFaD Live set) was nearly three years. It was also their first without Alan Wilder, who’d provided all the unique industrial sound effects to their albums and singles since Construction Time Again. And it was also their first album after singer Dave Gahan’s recent health and emotional issues had become public. This was going to be a make or break album for them.
As if to state the point right off, pre-album single “Barrel of a Gun” was a track of jagged misery and anger that mirrored all the personal issues they’d been dealing with over the last few years. But it also proved that the more rock-oriented SoFaD wasn’t just a fluke. The keyboards were still there, but they had truly evolved from a synthetic post-punk quartet to a 90s alternative rock band. They had retained their dark moods and sounds, but they were now being delivered with a heavy punch.
The follow-up single, “It’s No Good” (released two weeks before the album itself) on the other hand, tripped up fans with its heavy sequencing and lighter melodic touch — hinting at their Some Great Reward era, come to think of it — but it was one of Martin Gore’s best and catchiest songs on the album and became a hit both in the US and the UK. [And as if to drive the point home that they hadn’t completely lost their sense of humor, the video shows the trio performing as a skeezy lounge act and totally hamming it up.]
Third single “Home” showed that Martin Gore could still write and sing their best ballads, even though it failed to hit the charts. Gore once again writes about the pleasures of a solid relationship and the reminders that things couldn’t get any better than this…even when things aren’t as good as they used to be.
Final single “Useless” brings the band full circle, sounding both strong and delicate at the same time. It’s a track that hints at Violator-era songwriting but with a modern production. The single itself was not a chart-topper, but it proved that they had persevered and remained an extremely popular and inspirational band.
The album itself dropped in mid-April 1997 alongside numerous other big-name alt.rock albums such as Supergrass’ In It for the Money, The Chemical Brothers’ Dig Your Own Hole, Third Eye Blind’s self-titled debut (and just a month after U2’s long-awaited and sadly much-maligned Pop). They couldn’t have timed it better, as that year was quite a turning point for the genre. Britpop was dying a long and painful death, commercial alt.rock was splintering between mainstream rock (such as U2 and 3EB) on one side and the alternative metal of Korn, Marilyn Manson and Limp Bizkit on the other. This gave them a unique chance to release an amazingly strong album — even as they chose not to tour for it due to health reasons. Numerous tracks would also pop up on American television shows — 90s TV was big on the popular sountracks back then — enabling them to stay in the spotlight.
They would finally return once more to touring for the next album — a second singles compilation — in late 1998, along with a new song, “Only When I Lose Myself”. A lovely midtempo song, it would be the bridge between their harder rock sound of Ultra and the more acoustic and mellow Exciter album in 2001. It’s a swan song in a way, a thank you to the fans that had seen them through an extremely turbulent but ultimately successful decade.

Algeria has embarked upon a hugely ambitious project to build five major new cities from scratch. Already 3 million people have benefitted from the distribution of 800,000 housing units and 2 major sports stadiums.
Algeria is embarking on ambitious housing and infrastructure projects and entire cities are rising from the ground and completely transforming the urban space.
170 kilometres south of Algiers the new city of Boughezoul is under construction and it is planned to accommodate some 400 inhabitants.
This futuristic 20,000-hectare urban development project, divided between housing, business districts, and agricultural areas, was launched in a strategic region at the crossroads of the North-South and East-West axes.
"We have built a modern city in order to attract the population and create a balance between the coast, the High Plains and the south. These are pilot new cities. We hope to extend this experience later to other cities." Explains Mourad Ghouati, the General Manager of, the Public Establishment Of The New City Of Boughezoul.
The future city will house the Algerian space agency, a new railway station, and a new international airport. The basic infrastructure is complete and 28 kilometres network of tunnels for electricity, fibre optics, drinking water, and irrigation networks for green spaces.
"The technical gallery is sustainable work. Because the new city of Boughezoul has a sustainable character." Says Abdelghani Zerrouki, Technical Manager of, the Public Establishment Of The New City Of Boughezoul. "So if we have to change a pipe, or some electric cable, it is very easy, efficient, and doesn't make a noise."
Boughezoul is one of five new cities being constructed in Algeria. Sidi Abdallah, in Algiers, is another, as Abdelhak Sedaoui, General Manager of, the Sidi Abdallah New City Development Committee explains. "Our project for the new city of Sidi Abdallah is to create an attractive city, a city with sustainable development indicators and we want to ensure comfort for our inhabitants. It is a smart, resilient, and connected city."
One of Algeria's priorities has been to eradicate slums and derelict housing. In the Saharan regions, new housing estates are being built to promote inter-regional balance. To relieve congestion in large cities, low-cost housing and interest-free loans are offered by the State in satellite neighbourhoods.
Another priority was to build numerous stadiums, including the Jeunesse Sportive de Kabylie a 50,000 seater for the country's most successful club, from Tizi Ouzou. The work is inspected in person by the Minister of Housing, Mohamed Tarek Belaribi.
"The realisation of all these stadiums is linked to the enthusiasm of the whole population in sport and competition. This youthful enthusiasm has been accompanied by the public authorities in the making of these buildings, starting with the sports complex of Oran, where we organized the Mediterranean Games which went perfectly. We are also in the process of completing two other stadiums in the capital Algiers, one in Baraki, with 40,000 seats, and another in Douera in order to organise competitions on an African scale."
In addition to this, the last two years have seen three million citizens benefit from 800,000 new housing units. "I would say that we are no longer managing a housing crisis, but rather we are responding to a demand. And that's why we started building these new cities in Algeria, following the instructions from his excellency Mister the president of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune." Says Tarek Belaribi.
"We are in the process of creating satellite cities. The new Algeria is being built. We are builders, in all fields relating to architecture, peace, humanity... Anyone who wants to predict our future needs only look at what we are achieving now. The new Algeria is now." Continues Belaribi.
A symbol of contemporary Algeria is the recently inaugurated Great Mosque of Algiers, whose minaret, the highest in the world at 265 metres, offers a clear view of the country's advances.

Arachnoid cysts are congenital anomalies that occur (usually) as focal expansions of the subarachnoid space, contained within separated layers of arachnoid membrane.
A common site is in the middle cranial fossa (the area of the skull that lies just ahead of the ear), and typically the adjacent temporal lobe is somewhat underdeveloped, or atrophic (this is not normally associated with any intellectual or neurological impairment because the brain develops alongside the developing cyst, adjustments in brain function occur, compensating for the underdeveloped area).
Cysts can occur throughout the intracranial space, and possible effects are varied.
Occasionally arachnoid cysts are associated with focal neurological signs and symptoms, or more general symptoms such as headaches. In infants, large cysts may lead to asymmetrical head shape. However, the majority of arachnoid cysts are incidental, asymptomatic findings, which are unlikely to require intervention, although a period of observation may be recommended, to ensure that the cyst is static in size.
If treatment is required, options include inserting a shunt tube (with valve) from the cyst to the peritoneal cavity, or by performing a mini craniotomy and creating pathways which communicate the cyst with the normal CSF cisterns at the base of the brain.

Tips For Successfully Dealing With Your Family Dog During A Move
One of the benefits of hiring a moving company (such as Wheaton World Wide Moving) for your upcoming household move is that the crew can take care of the labor-intensive tasks while you handle a broad assortment of other duties. Among these tasks is taking care of your family dog and ensuring that the moving day passes with as little stress as possible for your pet. While it's ideal to think about dropping off your dog at a family member's house for the day, this isn't always possible. If you're planning to have your dog at your home while it's being packed up, here are a number of tips for making this period as easy as possible for the animal.
Give The Pet A Safe Place
Your dog might be used to freely roaming the house and yard, but with a crew of movers carrying items throughout your space, it's important to prevent your dog from being underfoot and in the way. Many dogs will pace nervously at the obvious changes around them, but you can alleviate some of this anxiety by ensuring that your dog has a safe place to call its own, even as the house is being packed up. Set your dog's bed or crate with a few toys in a specific area that is as out of the way as possible; your dog will know this space belongs to it and retreat to the area for comfort.
Try To Incorporate A Walk
Taking the dog for a walk is one of the best ways to alleviate anxiety, so try to make this job a priority on moving day. If you don't think you'll have time to handle the task yourself, assign the job to one of your children. In some cases, you could opt to have a neighbor walk the dog, provided the dog knows the neighbor and will not experience an increase in anxiety with him or her.
Establish Some Familiarity In The New House
Try to unpack your dog's bed or crate as soon as possible upon arriving at your new house. When you let your dog inside, it will often want to investigate as many rooms as possible and spend a considerable amount of time sniffing the new surroundings. Despite the changes in these surroundings, you can establish a degree of familiarity by placing the dog's bed or crate, along with some toys and bowls of water and food, in a designated area, such as the family room. Even though the scene will look different, the dog can experience a reduction in anxiety upon realizing that its personal items are now in the new home.

Outdoors Guide: Hood Canal divers proud of giant Pacific octopus habitat
"If we'd kept taxes stable, kept sane banking and commodities regulation, and avoided needless wars, we probably could have sustained our current standard of living. After all, that's how it was designed to work."
"But GOP administrations unwound that plan."
Knowing this, why on Earth would ANYONE vote for the Republicans?
And why on Earth would their precious FOX never inform them? Aren't they aware they're being cheated, tricked and fooled? I wonder why they think it's called FOX?
Great post, Jane.
"The only complication [back to Economic stability] is that the GOP Congress can't see the scope of its tremendous failure to govern wisely. They want to play world police and have low taxes, but the only way they can afford to do that is to toss the poor, aging, sick, and disabled people under the bus."
And the wonderful job the letter-to-the-editor writter has done, of scapegoating the poor, the aging, the sick and the disabled is surely to be applauded by his fellow regressives. What was that slogan they coined during the last campaign? Oh, yes -- "Let 'em Die!" Loved that one....
Back to Jane...
"And they are shocked, shocked, that overwhelming majorities of Americans, both GOP and Dems, don't think that's the right way to go."
What WAS that score? Oh, that's right -- 332 to 206.
Pretty dang close, eh?

Sharp Practice: The Ritual Dagger in Bön Sorcery and Vajrayana Buddhism by Robert Fitzgerald is a quick yet deeply thoughtful study of the Phurba, a stylized dagger used by practitioners of the ancient Bön animist practice and Vajrayana Buddhism.
Bön originated from the pre-historical country of Zhang Zhung, a geographical area that once included Tibet and predates Buddhism by many millennia.
It is an instrument of both destruction and manifestation, division and unity. The ritual dagger is a very versatile tool in the Bön magicians took kit and one that could and perhaps should be considered by the modern magician in their own magical practice. It can be used equally as well in white or black magic. However, as with any powerful magic the magician should be warned against its haphazard use.
“…warnings are given repeatedly that the work of the dagger is fraught with danger and perils…”
We find that the Phurba has many qualities that western occultist will resonate with as it has similarities to the magicians wand, athame, witches coffin nail, the needle of the voodoo portioner and yes even the working tools of a Freemason. The Phurba is used in rites of exorcism, binding of demonic forces and the achievement of enlightenment from dualistic thought.
“The Phurba is a multiplicity unto itself: at its most sublime it is manifest nature of mind, or buddha-nature. It is also the nail of exorcism that frees a plot of land of noxious spirits and penetrates the vile body of the enemy…the maras Demonicentities that harass and cause illness in humans.”
Of particular interest to me in this unique book is the magical workings of Nail Sorcery, whereby nails or daggers are used to curse and pin down one’s enemies.
“Other rituals using human bone kila were very popular in India, in Vedic times, and no doubt in secret up to the present day, but especially ones in which the effigy (or in some cases an actual human victim) is pinned down and stabbed repeatedly in the groin and throat. The purpose of such barbarity is clear, for with these two physical locales are vital chakric centers of power without which the victim becomes powerless, and in the case of a living human being, inevitably dies of pain and blood loss.”
Although this book shines a scholarly light on the Phurba used in Bön and Vajrayana Buddhism there are golden nuggets to be found for practitioners of all magical disciplines and has a rightful place in any occult library.

Rites of Nullification by G. de Laval.
Rites of Nullification comprise a detailed exegesis and expansion of a passage, in the book Black Magic Evocation of the Shem ha Mephorash, under notes for the demon Lekabel, which enumerate the four Qliphothic worlds of negation set in antagonism against the four Kabbalistic worlds of creation.
Originally written and released in truncated form as the thematic and lyrical underpinning of, and accompaniment to, the four-song album,1557: Rites of Nullification, by Swedish black metal ensemble Mephorash, it quickly became clear that the material therein cried out to grow into a more complete initiation, which is exactly what Aeon Sophia Press will be releasing: a full-praxis version of these ceremonies.
The grimoire enumerates and constructs a carefully and mathematically rigorous gnostic ceremony of the wedding of the Bride of Chaos using as its base structure a four-dimensional contemplative manifold formulated from permutations of the sacred binary, over which are overlaid a set of commonly used occult symbols to create a ritual space for the transformation of consciousness. These tools allow for that primordial differentiation, which gives rise to the possibility of experience itself, to be methodically disassembled. Using the book, the witch is given the opportunity to use demonic energies arranged carefully to deconstruct her own personality as if it were a scripture, giving rise to the possibility of new consciousness beyond the horizon of her reality tunnel, as she perforates it by marrying it to chaos.
In short, Rites of Nullification is an extremely detailed and exhaustive self-initiation that takes the practitioner on a deep dive into ritual and mystical Satanism, beginning with a betrothal to the Devil and commencing in the ur-gnostic bridal chamber itself.

Published by Salamander & Sons, Brisbane / Chiang Mai, 2013
The ceremonial magic of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is among the most widely practiced of all magical systems today. Yet very few books on the Golden Dawn tradition pass beyond the basics into the more demanding and powerful magical practices the system has to offer. Circles of Power is the exception. It’s a comprehensive practical manual of Golden Dawn magic that proceeds step by step from basic principles and fundamental rituals to the heights and depths of magical attainment.
Circles of Power provides detailed instructions for such rarely discussed magical techniques as the creation of telesmatic images, the construction and use of flashing tablets, the Golden Dawn method of etheric shapeshifting, and the use of the Formula of the Equinox—one of the two fundamental ritual formulas of the Golden Dawn tradition—as a basis for rituals of evocation, consecration, spiritual development, and more. This new edition has been thoroughly revised by the author.

Hangaguð edition: Limited to 90 copies, this is a very special and unique piece of art, completely handcrafted from the moment the pages left the mechanical press. The leather spines are hand-sewn, and the covers are made of Ash wood, carefully crafted and prepared in an artisanal way in order to preserve its natural color and texture, and carved in the front with the Ginnfaxi bindrune.
Specifications: 135 pages, 135 g. cream color paper. Octodecimo size (110×180 mm), hard Ash wood cover with hand-sewn leather spine and cream color paper with red end-papers. 5 full-page illustrations and several other runes, bindrunes and photographies. 90 numbered copies.
After becoming the fastest selling Fall of Man Press title, Myrkþursablót: Nightside of The Old Norse Mythology is receiving a second extended and revised edition. With over 6,000 new words, as well as many new bindrunes and images (including new Serpent Soul Art work!), this new edition deepens into the mysteries of the Old Norse religion, and the duality contained in all of us that leads us to the Ginnungagap.
As a special feature to the second printing of Myrkþursablót: Nightside of The Old Norse Mythology, a download will be provided to obtain a newly composed soundtrack to accompany the text provided within the book. Spanning an hour long, this ambient piece, composed by author and musician Niðafjöll, will provide an atmosphere to further guide the reader into the world of Myrkþursablót as the energies within the text become more present.
Known by many names, the nightside of the Norse-Germanic spiritual path is a self-directed journey towards initiation into the secrets as embodied by the runes, transiting towards the harmonious silence of the void before creation was formed through the collision of fire and ice (the union of opposites to create the moving universe we as living creatures experience). In initiatory and devoted practice revering forces such as the þursar, the student seeks to initiate his or herself into the black arts of northern antiquity and meld into the eternal silence of Ginnungagap, shaking the chains of existence within the nine worlds. There are many parallels one could draw from other Left-Hand Path traditions to this one, such as the karmic cycle in the Puranic tradition. This system is designed to be an initiatory path using the rune rows and the shamanic gateways they represent, so that one may make a personal exit from this universe ruled by the poles of duality.
Myrkþursablót, or Dark Þursian Worship, is a look into the primordial gateway to learn its ethereal secrets of fire and ice in order to unchain one’s spirit from the restraints of the mortal world. A journey through the untamed wilderness of darkness as one wades through treacherous tests of inner conflict, as the spirit fights to unleash itself from the prison of flesh, and ascend into the true light to obtain the secrets of the runes from the oldest beings. The keepers of all hidden wisdom, knowledge, secrets and magic. The Þurs.
The dark tradition of Norse spirituality does not place acknowledgment on the Æsir as keepers of the truth, but instead on the Þursar, the oldest beings. It is through them that the hidden secrets of the runes and the ancient wisdom is obtained. They are not to be seen as gods, but as teachers the adept wishes to commune with in order to garner knowledge for their own use. They are the sons and daughters of Aurgelmir, who was born from the infinite void before time was time.
Throughout the pages of Myrkþursablót: Nightside of The Old Norse Mythology the authors introduce us to the dark world of the Þurs, analyzing their attributes and characteristics so that the reader may benefit from a deeper understanding of these primordial forces. It is through this understanding that the reader may make proper use of the runes and sigils presented and described in this book, with the ultimate goal of reaching true illumination.

“Gullveig is the Teutonic and Germanic highest feminine principle of darkness – the maid, the mother, and the crone: Gullveig’s traits are analogous to Lilith’s and Hecate’s. In the Old Norse Mythology she is the sinister arch- mother of the giants and the black arts; she’s also the divine feminine manifestation of the analogue thursian purpose.” The book is in effect a grimoire of Gullveig, drawing from old Norse Mythology and occult lore to establish a pathway of black magical practice.

From the Publisher:
The Game of Saturn is the first full length, scholarly study of the enigmatic Renaissance masterwork known as the Sola-Busca tarot. It reveals the existence of a pagan liturgical and ritual tradition active amongst members of the Renaissance elite and encoded within the deck. Beneath its beautifully decorated surface, its imagery ranges from the obscure to the grotesque; we encounter scenes of homoeroticism, wounding, immolation and decapitation redolent of hidden meanings, violent transformations and obscure rites. For the first time in over five hundred years, the clues embedded within the cards reveal a dark Gnostic grimoire replete with pagan theurgical and astral magical rites. Careful analysis demonstrates that the presiding deity of this ‘cult object’ is none other than the Gnostic demiurge in its most archaic and violent form: the Afro-Levantine serpent-dragon, Ba’al Hammon, also known as Kronos and Saturn, though more notoriously as the biblical Moloch, the devourer of children. Conveyed from Constantinople to Italy in the dying years of the Byzantine Empire, the pagan Platonist George Gemistos Plethon sought to ensure the survival of the living essence of Neoplatonic theurgy by transplanting it to the elite families of the Italian Renaissance. Within that violent and sorcerous milieu, Plethon’s vision of a theurgically enlightened elite mutated into its dark shadow – a Saturnian brotherhood, operating within a cosmology of predation, which sought to channel the draconian current to preserve elite wealth, power and control. This development marks the birth of an ‘illumined elite’ over three centuries before Adam Weishaupt’s ‘Illuminati.’ The deck captures the essence of this magical tradition and constitutes a Western terma whose talismanic properties may serve to establish an initiatory link with the current. This work fully explores the historical context for the deck’s creation against the background of tense Ferrarese-Venetian diplomatic intrigue and espionage. The recovery of the deck’s encoded narratives constitutes a significant contribution to Renaissance scholarship, art history, tarot studies and the history of Western esotericism.

When the Power 5 conferences passed a full cost of attendance measure during the NCAA's annual convention last month, it was viewed as a necessary benefit for collegiate athletes.After all, what's another few million bucks for 64 football programs that, according to a CNN Money analysis, combined to bring in $2.8 billion in 2013-14? But for the 12 universities in the Mid-American Conference, paying for the full cost of attendance — essentially a stipend for each athlete that is estimated to be worth $2,000 to $4,000 annually — is another sizable expense for athletic departments that already are relying on their universities for at least 70% of their budgets. “It's difficult for them to generate additional income on their own,” said Todd Turner, the president and founder of West End, N.C.-based Collegiate Sports Associates, which is doing an assessment of Kent State's athletic programs. “The television dollars aren't there for them, their stadiums are smaller. You don't have to be a math whiz to figure it out. They're all challenged.” Turner, a former director of athletics at four prominent NCAA institutions (the University of Connecticut, North Carolina State University, Vanderbilt University and the University of Washington), says only about “20 to 23” collegiate athletic departments in the nation generated more money than they spent last year.
Cost of attendance measure is expensive one for MAC
In the MAC, producing enough revenue to cover the increasing costs of salaries, scholarships and operating expenses is every bit as big of a challenge as competing with the likes of Alabama and Ohio State in football.At the IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum in December, University of Toledo vice president and athletic director Mike O'Brien said the presidents of every MAC school had agreed to provide athletes with the cost of attendance — a move schools outside the Power 5 conferences are not yet required to make. Kent State director of athletics Joel Nielsen told Crain's he anticipates the MAC's 12 members will enact cost of attendance for the 2015-16 school year, but each institution “will make their own decisions on the COA, and what sports they intend to cover.”Northern Illinois already has said it will provide the cost of attendance for all of its athletes. Nielsen said the remaining MAC universities, including Kent State, are reviewing their options. For Kent State, which has 18 athletic programs and a budget of $26.2 million, providing a stipend for all 425 of its athletes could cost the university more than $1 million. “There are challenges of resourcing our programs, and almost everything we see coming at us down the road, from two weeks ago to into the future, involves more cost,” Nielsen said. “That's difficult for us to handle when our tuition is going up, and salaries and other things are rising. To add another component on to that, especially with the unknown to it, most people will probably reply that it will result in more challenges.” Tom Wistrcill, the director of athletics at the University of Akron, said covering the cost of attendance “is much-needed for student athletes.” But Wistrcill estimated the measure would cost the Zips between $600,000 and $700,000 per year. That would represent an increase of as much as 2.7% for Akron's current athletic budget of almost $25.4 million. “That's still a very sizable amount,” Wistrcill said.
MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher told CBS Sports last fall that the cost of attendance would mean an extra $500,000 to $1 million for each member of the Cleveland-based conference.By big-time college football standards, that's less than the salaries of many assistant coaches. In the MAC, it's a more difficult adjustment. Akron's 2014-15 budget projections included $6,439,489 in revenues — a 7.2% increase from the year before, but a total that was almost $19 million short of the cost of its 19 athletic programs. Scholarships accounted for nearly 29% of the Zips' $25,355,121 budget. Kent State projected that its 2014-15 athletic revenues would be $5.7 million, which is $20.5 million below the Golden Flashes' budget and almost $2 million less than the $7,640,427 the school is spending on salaries and wages for the department. “There's always been a gap, let's be honest,” Wistrcill said of the difference between the Power 5 schools and midmajors such as Akron. “But it is growing. It's something we all have to account for and discuss as we look toward the future. “We also don't want to overreact now,” he added, “because 10 years ago, we could have never predicted it would look like what it does now.”
When USA Today ranked the athletic department revenues of 230 NCAA Division I schools in 2013, the data showed a common theme for the MAC.The conference's members fit into a pretty tight range — all 12 ranked between 77th and 112th, with revenues ranging from $21.3 million to $29 million. But referring to the dollar figures as revenues, at least when it comes to the MAC, was misleading, since the schools combined to receive 70% of that money from their respective universities. The USA Today data for the six MAC members from the Buckeye State — Akron, Kent, Bowling Green, Miami, Ohio and Toledo — showed an average athletic budget of almost $26.2 million, of which a combined 66.5% came from student fees (55.6%) and school funds (10.9%). As a whole, the MAC had an average budget of $26.5 million, with more than $18.5 million (70%) courtesy of student fees and school funds.“It's institutional support or student fees,” Nielsen said of the primary source of funding for MAC athletic programs. “That's the term we use in our industry.” The Kent State AD estimated that the percent of athletic department funding that comes from institutional support is “somewhere in the high 60s to the low 80s” for each MAC school. When the Akron Beacon Journal reported Jan. 19 that Kent State was assessing all of its athletic programs, Nielsen told the newspaper that “everything is on the table.” Otherwise, it wouldn't be a true evaluation, he said.That led to some speculation about the impact more expenses, such as the cost of attendance, would have on midmajor athletic departments. Steinbrecher, the MAC's commissioner, said he “would urge people to not overreact” to Collegiate Sports Associates' review of Kent State's athletic department. “I've not called the president or anything, but I think any time you have a new president (as Kent does in Beverly Warren), you're likely going to do a top-down review of the institution. “This is very consistent with that. It's just that sports is a segment (of a university) that receives significantly more media attention.” Turner, who is leading the assessment of Kent State, wouldn't comment on the Golden Flashes specifically, but he believes once schools implement the full cost of attendance, athletic programs likely will get cut. The most likely victims, he said, will be men's Olympic sports, since those aren't protected by Title IX. Schools that have 20 or 21 athletic programs might trim the total to 16, Turner said, and universities that have 17 or 18 programs might reduce the number by three. “They're studying it now,” he said. “Nobody in the MAC, for instance, would want to reduce their commitment to student athletes. No one wants to drop a sport, but the reality of it is without additional funding, in order to stay competitive, they'll have to make decisions. They can eliminate programs, reduce scholarship values or reduce the amount of scholarships they offer. They might not want to, but they might have to.” Kent's Nielsen said the MAC's revenue opportunities are limited, though the 13-year, $100 million media rights deal that the conference signed with ESPN last August provided a nice bump. “In another way, it's unlimited because we're not in a sold-out (stadium) capacity or have personal seat licenses that are sold out,” Nielsen said. “I guess you could say there's a lot of available inventory at MAC schools.” Bowling Green's 2014-15 athletic budget includes $7 million in revenues, an admirable number for the MAC, but a total that is $5 million short of the combined amount the school is paying in department salaries and scholarships. “Generating revenue is a challenge every day, regardless of if there is new legislation,” said BG director of athletics Chris Kingston. “We're trying to move the needle every day.”


Gotstyle has been known in Toronto for years as one of the go-to retailers for stylish men in the city, especially those who frequent the King West strip. What Gostyle is not as known for, is their newer Distillery District location that features curated womenswear alongside their hand-picked menswear. Why you ask? Well, you can imagine how many girlfriends and wives wanted to shop while the men did too.
It’s fantastic to see that already, the Gostyle Woman team has been putting in a huge effort to feature local and Canadian designers. Above, I’m wearing a jacket by my favourite sportswear designer, MICHI, and a clutch by Ela Handbags — both talented Toronto-based designers.
All of these looks — from office ready to party ready — show a different side of me, and a different side of the Gotstyle woman. It’s quite cool to shop in a place where you can get crazy, or conservative, or even laid back with your look. Most of the girls in the shop (myself included as you can see below) were sporting a striped t-shirt and pair of jeans (or leather leggings) on the lazy Saturday morning that we shot these looks right in-store with my photographer, Janick Laurent. We all like to refer to the look as our “Weekend Uniform”.

RockFeel is designed to detect changes in rock strength, material differences, chisel blockage and wear during operation, making mining, tunneling, civil engineering and demolition significantly more efficient, safer and environmentally friendly in the future.
“Several industrial partners were heavily involved in achieving this important interim project objective, which, through advice and action, ensured that, with a tight project budget, we could operate adrum cutting machine specifically adapted and equipped for our requirements on a medium-weight tracked excavator on a well-equipped site with all the necessary emissions permits,”
explains Dr. Jörg Bretschneider on behalf of the RockFeel team.
Erkat – drum cutter machine and extensive user training
Erkat adapted an ER 650 transverse drum cutter for the cutting test bench and intensively instructed the team in the optimal handling of the cutter on a tracked excavator. Next, excavators and drum cutter are equipped with various sensors and the wireless transmission of data is tested so that the actual data collection and analysis can begin.
Sensors live on the opening day
After a brief project presentation, visitors were able to experience the challenges for the sensor technology live when the drum cutter was used to make initial cuts to the concrete test specimen as preparations for the first measuring cuts. How the preliminary examinations were carried out was also demonstrated on the fixed test bench.
Safer, more efficient and good for the environment
“Reliable real-time analysis of the rock would bring a whole range of advantages for our customers,”
explains Erkat – Managing Director Martina Schierholz.
For example, the yield of a deposit would be improved and, according to RockFeel, waste material would be reduced by at least 10%. Mining safety would be increased by timely detection of the risk of caving. An extended pick life would result in fewer interruptions for the pick change – more time for extraction.
And the environment also benefits: significantly less water and energy consumption, fewer chemicals, no more explosive gases. By streamlining the process chain, RockFeel would enable so-called lean mining, a cheaper and greener mining.
“We save time, improve yield, increase safety and contribute to our environmental protection efforts. We couldn’t ignore these many good arguments,”
“We are following the progress of the RockFeel project with great interest and hope that this innovation will be a milestone for our customers.”

Free Birth Control? Planned Parenthood Wants to Be Sure We're Covered.KJ Dell'Antonia
Free preventative services coverage kicks in on many health plans this coming September. Sounds great–but it begs a follow up question:
There’s not likely to be an easy answer to that question. Over at Politico, Sarah Kliff reports that Planned Parenthood is working to ensure that the answer encompasses not only preventing cancer and heart disease, but preventing pregnancy as well. In other words, another battle over women’s reproductive health is quietly gearing up for a fight this summer, and no matter who provides your insurance, it’s one that probably affects you directly. Next fall, your preferred method of birth control could be available to you without a co-pay. Or it might not be covered at all.
Birth control is covered under 90% of private insurance plans, but co-pays ranging from $10 to $50 a month still leave it out of reach for many. Medicaid also offers coverage that ranges from state to state. Opponents of contraception coverage are already lobbying the Health Resources and Services Administration, arguing that preventative care is about preventing cancer, not “the birth of new recipients of health care.” Pregnancy, the rubric goes, is a joy, not a medical condition.
If the HRSA buys that argument, birth control coverage might remain unchanged. Co-pays will remain high, as will the abortion rate in the United States (one of the highest in any developed country, and Laurie Rubiner of Planned Parenthood reminded Politico that lack of affordable access to birth control is one of the biggest reasons why). Or contraception coverage might begin to slip away–it wasn’t long ago that few insurers covered birth control at all, and if the government rules it out of the preventative category, some insurers might see an excuse to move birth control into the optional category.
All of that is unlikely–a worst-case scenario. But what will happen if birth control is excluded from coverage as preventative care is that we will, as a country, have missed an opportunity to extend the right to prevent unwanted pregnancies to everyone, regardless of her economic circumstances. To lobby for the inclusion of contraceptive services under “Affordable Care,” Planned Parenthood plans to rely on scientific and medical evidence–but personal stories about how women (ahem–constituents) value the Pill and other forms of birth control may matter as much or more as facts and numbers. To contribute to the effort, visit The Pill is Personal and add your story.

Here are some frequently asked questions we get around Telehealth consultations!
What are Telehealth consultations?
Essentially Telehealth consultations are a form of online consultation that allows patients to receive essential health services without direct physical contact. Not only this, but Telehealth provides an alternative for people who are overseas, home-bound or unable to make it to the clinic for any reason.
Telehealth consultations can be done from the comfort of your own home at a time convenient for you. In the event you sustain an injury or are managing a condition previously treated with allied health consultations, Telehealth allows us to help you, so you may back to doing the things you love as soon as possible.
Are there any conditions/injuries you can’t treat though Telehealth?
In short, the answer is no. There is always something that can be done to carry out assessments and treatments via Telehealth. While we can’t apply “hands-on” techniques like massage, manipulations and dry needling, there is research that shows the effectiveness of Telehealth consultations.
As healthcare professionals, we are trained in exercise prescription, active (patient-involved) rehabilitation, lifestyle advice, workplace modifications and self-treatment techniques. Current research supports these “active” techniques in producing long-term health benefits. Not to mention it may help you become more involved in your care, and this can build self-confidence and self-efficacy.
For things like taping, bracing and measuring gait aids/devices: It’s true that we can’t apply or fit these for you ourselves, but what’s better than that is that we can teach YOU how to do it for yourself.
But how can you assess and treat through Telehealth?
We use multiple techniques to ensure we perform comprehensive, high-quality assessments and treatments through Telehealth. Here are just a few examples of how we do so:
- We will help you find tight muscles through flexibility assessments
- We will observe your posture and use clinical reasoning and our understanding of biomechanics
- We will ask targeted questions about your daily routine to assess if anything is possibly contributing to your symptoms.
- We will teach self-massage techniques (spikey balls, foam rollers)
- We will prescribe targeted clinical exercises to address asymmetries, poor technique and weakness.
What happens in a Telehealth consult?
Your practitioner will organise a time and date for your consult that is convenient. An email with instructions on setting up and preparing will be sent to you well in advance.
Aside from this, Telehealth consults are much like a regular consults! At the start of your consult, your practitioner will have a chat with you about how you’re tracking as well as specific clinical questions to help them form an assessment and treatment plan.
After this, your practitioner may ask you to perform movements and postures, stretches or exercises so they can assess your technique and explore any asymmetries. During and following this, your practitioner will give you feedback and monitor your symptoms. Based on the findings, your practitioner will formulate a personalised plan for you with exercises, self-treatment techniques and lifestyle modifications to best address your condition and symptoms.
Do I need any specific clothing equipment for a teleconsult?
For a phone consultation: you’ll just need a phone!
For a teleconsultation with video: you’ll need a computer or tablet with an internet connection and a webcam.
As your practitioner may ask you to perform exercises or movements for assessment, you’ll need to be wearing un-restrictive clothing and have a decluttered/safe space to move around in.
Can I get private health rebates on Telehealth consultations?
Currently for Physiotherapy, Psychology, Dietetics and Podiatry: yes private health rebates are available. As always check with your provider.


System integration is in our DNA at MarQuip and we recommend always starting each project by taking the overall picture into account. Here’s why…
The fact that many yards buys the engine, (TIER III) after-treatment system and exhaust separately causes challenges in its own right. Having three different companies involved, each with their own strategies and goals, can make it very hard to realise an optimised complete exhaust system. For instance, the maximum backpressure values of the engines will be reached too early if the after-treatment systems are not large enough. The resulting backpressure is insufficient to design a properly functioning exhaust system.
Things are very different when MarQuip is involved as a total supplier for both the after-treatment and exhaust systems. Our experts will optimise all components to reach the best total system possible, offering a one-stop-shop for yards. “Project managers at yards which use our services are delighted to no longer be drawn into discussions between three different parties,” explains Jeroen van der Matten, General Manager at MarQuip. “This offers valuable savings in time and money as well as an optimised exhaust system. Other benefits for the vessel itself include best use of the onboard real estate space, fewer foundations, less insulation and an improved ventilation performance.”
Having one party responsible for noise and vibration issues is also a major plus-point for those who opt to bring in MarQuip. We will also take care of all issues involved in the IMO TIER III certification trajectory. “The choice to partner with a system integrator who knows how everything works is being made by more yards,” adds Jeroen “And we can also offer advice to owners facing backpressure issues on an exhaust system where the engine, after-treatment and exhaust were purchased separately. Let us take the lead in these complex matters and the rewards in terms of efficiency will soon pay for themselves.”

Banned books throughout Chinese history
Books, music, social media posts, even memes: nothing is safe from China’s modern system of censorship, perhaps the most comprehensive ever known.
But long before censors began removing errant WeChat stickers (or memes that compare politicians to cartoon characters—we’re looking at you, Winnie) China already had a long history of banning written works deemed undesirable by officials. The English bard Shakespeare had his work banned, along with just about everything else foreign, during the Cultural Revolution, only to come roaring back into fashion in the decades since, while the works of Ming dynasty poet Qu You were considered far too lurid and scandalous to be acceptable during his time.
From alleged book burning during the Qin dynasty, to the banning of works in the (allegedly more open) 1980s, TWOC introduces five books banned throughout China’s history:
Lu Ban Shu《鲁班书》
This two-volume book was written during the Spring and Autumn period (771 — 476 BCE) by Gongsun Shu, a renowned architect of the time, under the name Lu Ban. In the first volume, Shu detailed his architectural theories, but in the second, much more controversial part, he delved into the world of gods, spirits, and rituals.
Shu outlined various incantations and curses which were considered black magic by the ancient censors, and the book’s circulation was restricted to prevent the public engaging in witchcraft, and perhaps even using the book’s spells to threaten rulers. The book also featured writings on Daoist “magic” and suggestions for medical treatment. It was said that whoever read through the entire second volume would be cursed to live alone, become widowed, or be made disabled. To date, the original manuscripts remain lost, probably hidden away or destroyed by successive rulers of past dynasties afraid of what might befall them should such witchcraft become common knowledge.
The ancient writer Wang Xu, a hermit who lived in what was known as the Ghost Valley more than 2,000 years ago, is credited with writing what became one of the most controversial works in the Chinese philosophical tradition during the Han dynasty (206 BCE — 220 CE). The book advocated the notion that humans are by nature wicked, in direct contrast with the orthodox Confucian view that people are all “kind at birth.” That suggestion was so anathema to official doctrine at the time that the book was banned during the western Han period (206 BCE — 24 CE) when Emperor Wu officially instituted Confucianism as the thought system of imperial rule.
The Guiguzi, which is likely to have been the work of several scholars over many years, discusses strategies for political lobbying, power brokering, and military conquest. The chapter on “opening and closing the gate (捭阖),” for example, speaks of the art of building political coalitions. Despite the ban, the book was influential, and students of the philosophical tradition it outlined continued to refer to and adapt many of its theories throughout histoy. Sun Bin, a well-known military strategist and perhaps a descendant of Sun Tzu, who is credited with writing The Art of War, was one alleged student of Wang Xu.
New Stories Told While Trimming the Wick 《剪灯新话》
Ming dynasty (1368 — 1644) poet Qu You has been credited with producing the first book to be officially banned by a Chinese government. Qu’s work, New Stories Told While Trimming the Wick, caused consternation at the imperial court with its sexual themes, and subtle criticisms of society under Ming rule. In the book, Qu described sexual encounters between humans and spirits, and the sex lives of the lower classes; both subjects were considered taboo. In one section, Qu wrote about the intimate relationship between a man and a female ghoul.
Copies of the book were burned and buried by the Ming imperial court. But despite the drastic measures at the time, the book became popular elsewhere in east Asia, particularly in Korea, where classical Chinese was still used and understood by scholars and officials. Qu’s New Stories inspired what is widely regarded as the first novel of Korean literature, Tales of Mount Geumo (金鳌新话), which was written in classical Chinese by Korean author Kim Si-Seup in the 15th century.
Tui Bei Tu 《推背图》
This book of prophecies earned its name from a story about the writers Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, two Chinese scholars who also claimed to be seers, in which Yuan pushed Li in the back to warn him that he had revealed too much about the future. Published during the Tang dynasty (618 — 906), the Tui Bei Tu includes 60 xiang (divinatory symbol) drawings that are meant to predict the future rise, fall, tranquility, and turbulence of China from the Tang up to the year 2043.
Of these 60 prophecies, perhaps 55 may have already come true, including the prediction of the ascendance of China’s first, and only, empress, Wu Zetian. Following the Tang, subsequent emperors prohibited the book’s publication for fear that it might disturb the minds of the people and lead them to revolt. Many other rulers simply changed the contents to reflect better on themselves; during the Song dynasty (960 — 1279), hundreds of versions were fabricated by Emperor Taizu. The version that remains today was composed by Jin Shengtan, a critic during the Qing dynasty, and the manuscript is currently on display at the National Palace Museum in Beijing.
The Ugly Chinese《丑陋的中国人》
“You are sick. You need help,” Bo Yang wrote in this collection published in 1986. The Ugly Chinese is a highly critical compilation of lectures and articles by Bo that offered a fierce attack on Chinese culture and the Chinese character during a period when space for critical works opened after the Cultural Revolution.
Bo, writing in Taiwan, and his critique had shades of Lu Xun, blaming the ills of society on the nature of Chinese culture, often using satire and acerbic wit. “Chinese people are highly reluctant to admit their errors, and can produce a myriad of reasons to cover their mistakes. There’s an old adage: ‘Contemplate your faults behind closed doors.’ Whose faults? The guy’s next door, of course!” he wrote.
The unflattering title and contents were understandably controversial and provoked huge debate on the Chinese mainland, with some seeing it as an unwarranted attack on Chinese cultural heritage. Together with the similarly critical TV documentary, River Elegy 《河殇》(itself eventually banned), The Ugly Chinese was symbolic of a deeply reflective and critical period for Chinese media during the 1980s. Bo’s works were banned by the Chinese government in 1987, but many bootleg copies of The Ugly Chinese continued to circulate. Only since 2004 has the Chinese government reissued selections of his writings.

The Sears company should just let it go
Sears receives a last minute reprieve from liquidation from chairman Edward Lampert and a hedge fund. Lampert submitted a revised bid of nearly $5 billion to prevent the eventual doom of the Sears company after the company itself rejects his initial $4.4 billion offer.
Because that would be $4.4 billion wasted. Six-hundred million more won’t make a difference.
Sales this holiday season were the best in six years. But as you might expect, department store sales actually declined 1.7% while online sales increased 19.1% compared to 2017.
Yet, Mr. Lampert, as well intentioned as he is, thinks it’s a good idea to spend money to save the Sears company.
“We have said for years. The Sears company is a dinosaur. A relic of the old way of thinking about retail.”
The Sears company is doomed
Look, I get the emotional attachment people have to causes of which they are invested. Lampert has been chairman of the Sears company since 2013, investing a significant amount of money in it. And now, in his latest money wasting idea, he’s willing to devote $5 billion to save it
Mr. Lampert, that ship has sailed. You couldn’t save Sears when you became CEO in 2013 and you won’t be able to save it now.
We have said for years. The Sears company is a dinosaur. A relic of the old way of thinking about retail.
Along the way, Sears lost the essence of what made it successful and has never made the hard decision of changing its model. Instead, Sears, like so many other retailers, behaves as if it just waits it out, customers will come back. But now, like Toys R Us, it is too late for yet another iconic brick and mortar brand.
If you follow retail at all, you know full well that Sears has been circling this drain for a long, long time. Too long in my estimation. Time to let all the water flow down the pipe.

Samsung’s latest Galaxy S6 Edge is a pretty expensive device. But, for buyers, it costs less than the iPhone 6 Plus. Now a teardown analysis of the S6 Edge by IHS has revealed that it is more expensive to build than the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus both. It means Samsung is giving up a lot of profits to make the S6 Edge affordable to buyers.
Galaxy S6 Edge costs $290 to build and assemble
Arik Hesseldahl of Re/code reports that the Galaxy S6 Edge is the most costly Samsung phone yet to build and assemble. According to IHS, the 64GB version of Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge costs Samsung $290 to build and assemble. By comparison, the Galaxy S5 costs $256 to build. The total bill of materials is $247 for 128GB iPhone 6 and $263 for 128GB iPhone 6 Plus.

The fund is down 14.25% for the first half of the year. Q2 2020 hedge fund letters, conferences and more Top five holdings Acacia's top five holdings accounted for Read More
IHS analyst Andrew Rassweiler told Re/code that the cost of components has been rising steadily in recent years. Buyers pay less for the Galaxy S6 Edge than iPhone 6, but it costs Samsung more to build the phone. Not surprisingly, the most expensive component in the S6 Edge is its dual-edge display, which costs a hefty $85 per unit.
Galaxy S6 Edge uses a Qualcomm-made baseband chip
The second-most expensive component is the Exynos 7420 processor. The chip is built on Samsung’s 14-nm FinFET technology. It costs Samsung $29.50 per unit. Both Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge sport 3GB DDR4 RAM, which adds $27 to the cost of materials. Another Samsung-made component, the 64GB flash memory, is estimated to cost $25 per unit. The teardown also revealed a Qualcomm-made baseband chip that costs $15.
The 64GB Galaxy S6 Edge retails for $699 without a contract. Samsung makes many of the major components used in the phone and it could easily negotiate better rates from suppliers. So, it’s hard to know the accurate cost of building and assembling the phone. And the $290 bill of materials doesn’t include R&D, patent licensing and other expenses. Anyway, Samsung has made it clear that it is willing to sacrifice margins to beat the rivals.
