Bazim-Gorag is a slaad lord, in the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. He was once a high-ranking Batrachi, but when his people fled the material plane, he turned himself into a unique chaotic outsider.
Publication history
Bazim-Gorag first appeared in the adventure "Prison of the Firebringer" in Dungeon #101 (August 2003), by Richard Baker. Bazim-Gorag also appeared in Champions of Ruin (2005).
History
Bazim-Gorag claimed a massive empire on the supercontinent of Merrouroboros during the latter half of the Days of Thunder. The leader of the Batrachi empires, Zhoukoudien, who had led his people to the zenith of their power, entered into a wasteful conflict with the giants to the north which decimated the carefully built up Batrachi lands. Not long later, a severe ice age struck Toril and the Batrachi, on the advice of the god Ramenos, fled to Limbo where they created the Supreme Throne. Ramenos' influence eventually caused the Batrachi to turn into creatures most sages confuse with the slaadi.
He eventually became the most powerful member of his transformed species, but didn't openly offend the slaad lords Ygorl and Ssendam, therefore saving his own skin.
In -585 DR, Ar-magus Ilviroon summoned Bazim-Gorag to save the wizard school the Tower of the Star from a horde of trolls. Bazim-Gorag scatterd the horde but Ilviroon refused to pay him the high price he demanded. Bazim-Gorag destroyed the tower and slew several of the school's most powerful wizards as well but Ilviroon managed to imprison Bazim-Gorag underneath the tower. The next year, the horde returned, even greater in number. Ilviroon was forced to ask Bazim-Gorag to help once again but this time it was Bazim-Gorag who would refuse and Ilviroon was slain in the ensuing battle. Unfortunately, with Ilviroon, died the only knowledge of how to release Bazim-Gorag from his imprisonment.<ref name="Dungeon101"/>

Waterloo Engineering Endowment Fund (WEEF) is a semi-autonomous non-profit organization within the University of Waterloo which is funded by undergraduate students which funds lab equipment, student projects and other facilities. There are two governing bodies guiding WEEF: the Funding Council and the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors (which has 2/3 student membership) sets the policy and direction of the Fund. The Founding Council, which is made up of one student representative from each class, reviews the requests for funding and recommends its distribution.
History
The Waterloo Engineering Endowment Foundation was started in 1990 by Avi Belinsky and John Vellinga, two Waterloo Engineering students who saw an opportunity to not only improve the quality of their own education, but also to allow future generations to do the same. WEEF solicits donations from those who benefit most from an improved undergraduate program at Waterloo: undergraduates and recent graduates. These donations are added directly to the principal of the fund. This principal is never spent, allowing the interest each year to grow (hence coined “the gift that keeps on giving”).
How the money is spent
The interest is spent each term on undergraduate laboratory equipment, student projects, computer upgrades, academic tools and teaching facilities, aiming to create the most benefits possible for engineering undergraduates. The decision of where to spend the money is made each year by the student Funding Council, consisting of a representative from each undergraduate engineering class. Each term, the council meets to review the term’s proposals (any student or faculty member can submit a proposal) and decide where to spend the money. Since its inception almost 20 years ago, WEEF has given over $4 million to Engineering, and has a principal of over $8 million. This amounts to $85000 every term, and that number grows every year.
Benefits include the following:
*Student Design Center in Engineering 5, used by student teams to build, test and perfect their equipment
*Computers and Monitors for Undergraduate Labs, used by engineering student body for class, course work, research and design projects
*Mechanical, Technical, Electrical and Safety Equipment for teams such as Midnight Sun Solar Race Team, UWStart, UW Robotics, Formula SAE, Waterloo Rocketry and Clean Snowmobile Team
*Departmental Equipment, such as Distillation Column (Chem), 3-D Printers (Arch), Circuit Hardware (Elec), Linux Cluster Upgrades (Elec & Comp) and many more
The fee
The Student Endowment Fund contribution is one of the most significant sources of donations to WEEF. This is a voluntary, tax-deductible $75 donation made by the engineering undergraduates of Waterloo. Since it is voluntary, the fee is fully refundable upon request during the first three weeks of the term. As of March 2011, the principal of WEEF is just under $10 million, yielding about $60, 000 dollars per term in new equipment and funding for special projects.<ref name="uwaterloo1"/>
How to get WEEF funding
Proposals for WEEF funding are accepted from Engineering (including the School of Architecture) students, staff, and faculty. All proposals are considered, provided they benefit undergraduate engineering education at UW. Funding is allocated once every term by the Funding Council consisting entirely of students. WEEF funding is commonly used for equipment or supplies rather than services or expenses.<ref name="uwaterloo2"/>
The WEEF Lab
WEEF spends its millionth dollar upgrading the WEEF Lab, which was renamed in its honors. More recently, WEEF has donated $1 million to the student design center that houses the first two floors of Engineering 5. WEEF is proud to have funded equipment used in every engineering discipline such as magnetic stirrers for chemical, machines and tools for the architecture workshop, formability testers for mechanical and mechatronics, surveilling equipment for civil, environmental and geological, LABVIEW software for systems, and oscilloscopes for electrical, nanotechnology, and computer. WEEF has also put forward money so that every first year textbook can be kept at the DC library.
WEEF Director
The WEEF director is the leading figure for the Waterloo Engineering Endowment Fund. The Director’s role is to oversee the Funding Council and other representatives of WEEF, as well as managing the fund and day-to-day activities.
The WEEF staff
The WEEF staff are responsible for the day to day administration of the Foundation including processing refunds, promoting WEEF, distributing allocated funds and answering inquiries. The WEEF Director's responsibilities extend to chairing the Funding Council Meetings, the Board of Directors Meetings and the Annual General Meeting, and to managing and overseeing all work not directly under the Board or the Funding Council. The director is supported each term by a team of assistant directors and by Mary Bland, executive assistant to WEEF.

Coven of the Far Flung Net (CFFN), is a virtual school which was one of the earliest Internet covens. A wholly on-line teaching arm of the Church of Universal Eclectic Wicca (CUEW), it continues to offer free training in the first two degrees, or circles, of the UEW tradition. It has been described as the "best established" of the cybercovens.
History
CFFN was originally established in January 1998, by Kaatryn MacMorgan; with a syllabus based upon her book All One Wicca. This was initially available as a free download, and became widely plagiarised on the internet as Book One of Wicca.
Clan System
Initially applications to CFFN were submitted to, and screened by, MacMorgan personally: but by early 2001 CFFN had grown to the extent that this had become unwieldy, and the selection and mentoring of students was devolved to a system of clans. These were semi-autonomous sub-groups within CFFN, which accepted and reviewed applications from prospective students and provided support throughout their studies. Each clan had a distinctive character, and prospective students were directed to choose one to apply to.
The first four clans within CFFN, were: Athame's Edge; Clan Willow Branch; Clan Spectra; and Sacred Moon Clan. By August 2003, this had increased to a total of seven clans: Sacred Moon Clan; Clan Willow Branch; Athame's Edge; Clan Adamant; Clan Delphi; Holy Well & Sacred Flame; and Clan Omphalos.
However due to concerns about the extent to which the clans were becoming communities in their own right, MacMorgan dissolved all existing clans in December 2003.
Subsequently, CFFN was restructured in early 2004, with a single entrance committee. At this time Athame's Edge hived off to form its own independent Progressive Eclectic Wicca tradition.
Admissions Policy
Admission is by invitation, following submission of an admission essay in a stipulated e-mail format. The stated reason for this process is to ensure 'normative' standards of internet skills and English; and also to select applicants who are compatible with the ethos of the school.
In particular, applicants are required to state they are aged over Eighteen years, and that they accept the Affirmation of Acknowledgement. Prisoners are specifically disbarred from accessing any course CFFN offers.
Format of Study
On acceptance First Circle students are allocated a tutor, who will be their primary point of support and contact at CFFN; and who will give feedback as each lesson is submitted by email.
Each lesson is accessed from the CFFN website by entering a password, which is provided when the previous lesson has been completed to the tutor's satisfaction. Additional materials required are supplied with each lesson, but students are encouraged to read widely, both on and off line. A month is allowed for the completion of each lesson's required essay.
The First Circle co-ordinator is author and poet, Llysse Smith Wylle.
