The nuclear fallout from 'Brexatom': threat, opportunity, or plain bonkers?
Pete Roche
24th February 2017The UK's inability to import radio-isotopes for cancer therapy is just the latest outcome of the UK's decision to leave EURATOM to hit the headlines, writes Pete Roche. It may also put a brake on the UK's plans to build new nuclear plants, and import and export nuclear fuel and wastes. The UK's exit from the treaty, as a strongly pro-nuclear state, could also mark an EU-wide anti-nuclear swing. more...
The Hunting Act 12 years on - time to crack down on the fox-killing criminals!
Jordi Casamitjana / League Against Cruel Sports
21st February 2017Since February 18, 2005 roughly 200,000 illegal hunting events undertaken by registered hunts may have taken place in the UK, writes Jordi Casamitjana. By engaging in fictitious 'trail hunting', they can chase foxes as before, and when they are killed, well, it was all a shocking 'accident'. It's high time to strengthen the law to ensure the spirit in which it was passed is fulfilled. more...
Suppressed EPA toxicologist: 'it is essentially certain that glyphosate causes cancer'
Carey Gillam
14th February 2017Letters from an EPA toxicologist to the EPA official in charge of assessing whether glyphosate, the active ingredient of Monsanto's Roundup herbicide, causes cancer, reveal accusations of 'staff intimidation' and 'political conniving games with the science' to favour pesticide corporations, writes Carey Gillam. Could this be a game-changer for cancer-suffering plaintiffs? more...

On trial: Monsanto's 'alternative facts' about glyphosate
Carey Gillam / USRTK
1st February 2017Reeling from California's decision to ban glyphosate, fearful of 're-evaluation' by EU and US regulators, and facing ruinous cancer claims in federal courts, the US chemical industry are fighting back, writes Carey Gillam.

EPA's systemic bias in hearings over glyphosate and cancer
Carey Gillam
19th December 2016The US Environmental Protection Agency was on the defensive last week in its hearings to determine whether glyphosate, the word's number one herbicide, causes cancer, writes Carey Gillam, as it stood accused of giving preferential treatment to industry representatives, excluding evidence of cancer links, and refusing testimony from a world expert epidemiologist. more...

Ovillantas - used tyres make a new and affordable mosquito trap in rural Mexico
Forest Ray
2nd November, 2016The Mexican Government spends millions trying to stop the spread of mosquito-borne viruses like dengue, chikungunya and - more recently - zika. Could the solution be as simple as a kind of mosquito 'hatchery' made of old tyres to create an inviting breeding ground from which eggs and larvae can be destroyed? FOREST RAY reports. more...

Amelia Collins
1st November 2016People power was at the forefront of UN talks on an global treaty for transnational corporations and human rights last week in Geneva, writes Amelia Collins.

The future of our food depends on small farmers and well cared-for livestock
Philip Lymbery / CIWF
19th October 2016Abusive farming of animals in factory farms is one of the great cruelties of the modern age, writes Philip Lymbery. While some may justify it as necessary to 'feed the world', it is no such thing. The answer lies in supporting small scale traditional farmers, and respecting the livestock that are intrinsic to sustainable agriculture across the planet. more...
Vicky Tauli-Corpuz: 'The better protected areas are those where indigenous peoples live!'

19th October 2016Indigenous Peoples are often the victims of nature conservation, according to a new report by Vicky Tauli-Corpuz presented to the UN this week, as they are expelled from lands they have inhabited for millennia. One reason, she told Joe Eisen, is that indigenous territories are precisely the places where biodiversity is best preserved - thanks to the protective, nurturing presence of their traditional owners. more...

Nintendo had the Legend of Zelda series since the 8-Bit days. Sega kind of was lacking in the action game with light role playing elements category. Sure, Sega had the Phantasy Star series but that was more of an answer to Square's Final Fantasy series than Zelda. It took until June 1994 before there was an adequate competitor to the Legend of Zelda, aimed at A Link to the Past on Super Nintendo.
Atlus picked up Crusader of Centy after Sega passed on it so that they could focus on Beyond Oasis. Atlus took on the challenge of bringing the game over and the eventual lackluster press it would receive. Gamepro and Electronic Gaming Monthly both were critical of the quality of gaming fans would get out of Crusader of Centy.
The backstory to Crusader of Centy is pretty cliché- you play a young male who lives in a town with a weird rule. At the age of 14 the boys in the town must go out and prepare for battle. Honing their skills with weapons and understanding enemies are just part of the adventure. In the beginning your character cannot even talk with other humans in the game. He can only talk with animals and plants until he reaches the "right of passage" so to speak. That is when the second half of the game begins and you can speak to people again. Weird mechanic.
Crusader of Centy is pretty much as much a clone of Zelda as you can get. The action is viewed from the same angle, your character has a sword and a shield and is young and takes on a life changing quest. Sure, a lot of that is simply cliché to the genre but having your character cut grass and other foliage and obstacles in a very similar manner is not.

Video game players are always excited to get their hands on new consoles, and in November, two new game machines are scheduled to be introduced: Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PlayStation 4. But while new consoles usually lead to better games, often that happens only in the long run. Some of the final games made for aging consoles have been better than the first games that were released for brand-new systems. Neither the PlayStation 3 in 2006 nor the Xbox 360 a year earlier went on sale with a single memorable initial title.
Nice article from New York Times! Love that site! And yes, PS4 has to wait for Sony Santa Monica, Naughty Dog, Media Molecule and Sucker Punch to really shine.
And we can't forget about the countless free-to-play games coming to PS4 on day one!
But thank goodness there's Killzone: Shadow Fall, Drive Club and the multiplats to hold the fort until then.
Xbox One has to wait for Halo 5 from 343, whatever Black Tusk is forging, and Remedy with that thing they've been working on.
But again, Dead Rising 3, Forza 5 and the multiplats should keep Xbox One fans busy until then.
This is true for me. The first games I've seen to make me want next gen are mirrors edge 2 and destiny. And those won't release till 2015ish most likely.
True, but there are some very great games coming out for launch for both systems.
PS4: Killzone: Shadowfall, DriveClub, etc..
Xbox: Forza, Killer Instinct, etc..
Great times are ahead! ^_^

In Syria, an ancient game is being played - with people, countries
and strategic goals as pawns.
Mark Langfan, Chairman, Americans For a Safe Israel 13/04/17 14:25
When you boil Syria down to its principal players, there are only three: Russia, the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran. With Assad's chemical attack, people have been misdirected from the reality by blaming the powerless Assad. But Assad doesn't move without direct Iranian permission. So, the real question is why did Iran launch a chemical weapons attack?
The answer is simple: Iran desperately needs Russia and the United States to get into a hot war in Syria so as to enable Iran to pick up the shattered pieces. In contrast, the United States and Russia desperately need each other to defeat Iran's waxing neo-Safavidic Empire from stretching from Iran to the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
continue reading Arutz Sheva article
Russia and the United States urgently need each other to thwart Iran's scheme to control the Middle East. It is in both Russia's and United States' worst strategic interests to allow Iran to become the colossus of the Middle East. Syria is big enough for Russia and the United States to find a modus vivendi and live with each other, allowing each to achieve strategic goals. Russia and the United States have a mutually exact goal - both aim to defeat the ISIS Sunni Caliphate and the Iranian Shiite Imanate. To defeat both Islamic radical terror threats requires Russia and the United States to work together, and not fight each other. In the current war against both Sunni and Shiite radical Islamic terror, the United States and Russia are critically necessary for one another as allies, not inimical enemies.
DAWA - New Word for Enemy of Western Civilization
Although Donald Trump has said that US relations with Russia may be at "an all-time low", when we look at the overall picture, we must be influenced by the words of the "bravest woman in the world", Aayan Hirsi Ali. She admonishes us not to be distracted by acts of terror and other symptoms of the movement towards political Islam and implores us to see the overall picture - the Sunni Caliphate, Shiia Imanate - the movement towards Dawa!
Dawa, Ms. Hirsi Ali explains, is "conducted right under our noses in Europe, and in America. It aims to convert non-Muslims to political Islam and also to push existing Muslims in a more extreme direction." The ultimate goal is "to destroy the political institutions of a free society and replace them with Shariah." It is a "never-ending process," she says, and then checks herself: "It ends when an Islamic utopia is achieved. Shariah everywhere!"
As a solution, Ms. Hirsi Ali "proposes a right not to tolerate the intolerant". She maintains that "Congress must give the president - this year, because there's no time to lose-the tools he needs to dismantle the infrastructure of dawa in the U.S."
Dawa has become an existential menace to the West, she adds, because its practitioners are working overtime to prevent the assimilation of Muslims into Western societies. "It is assimilation versus dawa."
If Ms. Hirsi Ali is to be believed, and we lean in that direction, the West should be working together to identify and do battle with this most potent and dangerous of enemies. Our civilization depends on it.

Flashback a few decades to the days when this steel mill is getting an automation upgrade -- which means for the first time there will be real-time tracking of the manufacturing process, according to a pilot fish on the project.
"Terminals were added to the various control areas within the mill to track the metal as it moved from ingot to coil," says fish. "We also communicated with the corporate mainframe for key data, as well as certain process-control systems on the floor.
"We were running on MicroPDP-11 16-bit minicomputers where each process was limited to 64K, some of which was used for memory-mapped I/O or for sharing data between the individual programs in the system."
So even though each machine has a whopping 4MB of real memory, some programs must be written using overlays, with segments of memory getting swapped in and out of that 64K block.
Result: It can take between 30 and 60 minutes to compile and link a new version of a program when it's being developed. And of course it can take multiple 30-to-60-minute cycles to get the overlay structure right after a change to the code.
That doesn't sit well with the corporate manager responsible for the project, who's annoyed that the compile/link cycle takes so long.
"He was a mechanical engineer who may have had one computer course -- freshman Fortran, likely using punch cards," fish says. "He didn't believe that we could not just use the 4MB of memory in the system."
What's worse, he thinks he has evidence that he's right. The PDP-11 line is made by Digital Equipment Corp., which also offers pricier 32-bit computers under the name VAX (for "virtual address extension") -- and the VAXen can run programs that are hundreds of megabytes in size, which would cut out all that overlay overhead.
Fish soon gets very tired of hearing the manager repeat the VAX marketing slogan: "Anything you can do on a PDP-11, you can do on a VAX."
In the end, fish finally brings copies of the PDP-11 and VAX hardware manuals into the office for a long meeting with the manager.
"I spent the better part of the day showing him, from the documentation, how the architecture was different," says fish, "and that while a VAX would do anything a PDP-11 did -- you didn't even have to recompile executables -- a PDP-11 certainly could not do everything a VAX did. The key was in the virtual address extensions.
"He was also fond of saying 'Seems to me it's no big deal.' Sure -- all it takes is time or money. Your choice."

Before the season there didn't seem to be a coach, analyst or scout in America mentioning quarterbacks Andrew Luck and Matt Barkley in the same sentence. Three months later and the Barkley bandwagon is filling up fast.
Coach Rick Neuheisel, whose UCLA team has faced Luck in each of the past three seasons and will face Barkley for the third time Saturday, said he is on board with the USC quarterback.
"I think they're very, very comparable," Neuheisel said of Barkley and Luck. "The only thing Andrew has is he's more mobile. But (Barkley) is almost more dangerous because there's a play I'm watching against Colorado and he could run 10 or 15 yards and he stops, goes down the line and throws a touchdown instead."
Washington coach Steve Sarkisian recently said he'd draft Barkley over Luck, a Heisman favorite and the consensus top pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.
But most people wrote it off as Sarkisian, a former USC assistant who recruited the Mater Dei product, either supporting his own or trying to get in Barkley's head as his Huskies prepared for the Trojans.
Moments after Barkley led USC to an upset over Oregon, Ducks coach Chip Kelly called Barkley "the best quarterback we faced this year." Neuheisel said he's noticed a significant improvement in Barkley not just from last season but during the course of this one.
"There's no question," Neuheisel said. "He's playing at very, very high level right now."

The Path
The best seeing is the way of "nonseeing"
the radiance of the mind itself.
The best prize is what cannot be looked for
the priceless treasure of the mind itself.
The most nourishing food is "noneating"
the transcendent food of samadhi.
The most thirst-quenching drink is "nondrinking"
the nectar of heartfelt compassion.
Oh, this self-realizing awareness
is beyond words and description!
The mind is not the world of children,
nor is it that of logicians.
Attaining the truth of "nonattainment,"
you receive the highest initiation.
Perceiving the void of high and low,
you reach the sublime stage.
Approaching the truth of "nonmovement,"
you follow the supreme path.
Knowing the end of birth and death,
the ultimate purpose is fulfilled.
Seeing the emptiness of reason,
supreme logic is perfected.
When you know that great and small are groundless,
you have entered the highest gateway.
Comprehending beyond good and evil
opens the way to perfect skill.
Experiencing the dissolution of duality,
you embrace the highest view.
Observing the truth of "nonobservation"
opens the way to meditating.
Comprehending beyond "ought" and "oughtn't"
opens the way to perfect action.
When you realize the truth of "noneffort,"
you are approaching the highest fruition.
Ignorant are those who lack this truth:
arrogant teachers inflated by learning,
scholars bewitched by mere words,
and yogis seduced by prejudice.
For though they yearn for freedom,
they find only enslavement.
- Milarepa

A Little Query - Poem by Amitava Sur
Oh' my Lord, the ultimate - the creator of all
You remain at the center point - You are over all.
But I am in a dilemma to see You doing some things,
Why You allow us to increase - if it's undeserving.
You created this rare Earth with Your paints and brush
Blue sky, mountain, ocean with meadows green lush.
Made this earth so lively with nature and living beings
With plenty of water and air and so many eateries.
But why You destroy them with your will and wish
With quake, drought, flood, wood fire, -
Tornado, typhoon.
I fail to realize within.... why it is so
If You feel that we should be less
Then why You allow us to give birth so much?
Why You play so cruelly with thousands of innocents?
Why You put them in such a misery and distress?
Oh' my Lord, as the origin - the creator of all
You are at the center point - You are over all.
But I am in a dilemma to see you doing some things,
Why You allow us to increase - if it's undeserving.

Amitava, I keep reading your poems one after another. A mysterious desire keeps drawing me to them.
As I drink from your poetical wisdom, and feelings, more questions than answers keep coming forth. It's
like you have drilled a non-ending well within me, and thoughts being drawn from it create beautiful pictures
to write about. My Dad always used to say, what doesn't kill me, makes me stronger and this too shall pass.
Maybe that's God's intention, to make us stronger through contention and suffering, I don't know. He is the
heart of my being. RoseAnn (Report) Reply

why you allow us to increase if undeserving...who told you we are undeserving..the person who relief sadness of others deserves the person who gives deserves.
why you destroy them with earthquake...etc. earthquake is an exam sometimes it is a punishment. even the punishment is part of the mercy (pain purifies the souls) .he does not want us to be less the problem is qualitative not quantitative (Report) Reply

Nice write tinged with wisdom. Even me don't understand why creates and then destroys the beautiful world, HIS own. When I see misery, sufferings, pain of good, I feel like an atheist, simultaneously I see this wonderful nature, birds, flowers and little sweetheart newborns I get into dilemma and again start believing HIM.

A Wonderful poem from your pen. Though its A Little Query, but it make us think. There are many people still in earth who don't believe God, but there are many who believe in God. People with different thoughts and characters move on, but each life is unique in its own way. Pains and suffering for each one are different. Only we can tell its ones time and destiny plays the role. In fact our life's control is in hands of time and destiny. Many times we feel we can control it, but as the wound take its own time to heal, for each and everything there is some time. In fact we are ruled by time..We have to wait patiently for each and everything....
Really a wonderful poem, it kept me thinking as what can be the answer for this query. Though everyones opinion is different along with their experiences in life. Loved reading it. (Report) Reply

They have believed in Feet off the Ground Dance since our establishment!!!! Great people, great studios, great environment!!
Great venue
An amazing space for Artists to use and an interesting variety of classes. The staff are very friendly and there's always a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere! (As well as comfy sofas!)
New, experimental artists showcase their ideas here. A rare opportunity for them to test their ideas before going on tour. Gives them critical feedback necessary for success. Regular dance classes support the community and children in particular. Low prices make it very inclusive and that's what people in London need. Love this place and the people who work there. Also in a city oversubscribed with the same old exercise/dance classes this place offers something for those who let's say are a little more adventurous. If you're wondering why, perhaps check out their perinium workshop.
It's a rare gem just by Regent's Canal on the south side of Victoria Park. An open home to local artists and residents, it hosts the best of traditional movement and dance classes and as well as the development of avant-garde performance work. It has two beautiful light studios and a jaw-dropping history of dance makers who have worked in the building. The atmosphere is always welcoming, the staff incredibly friendly. The ethos of the artistic community at Chisenhale Dance Space is pretty much summed up as: DIY But Don't Do It Alone.
Chisenhale Dance Space offer artists and choreographers great rehearsal spaces and a home away from home. They give lots of great opportunities and support to independent artists!
Chisenhale Dance Space, with it's seductive red-brick wall and inviting old maple floor, radiating the 'spirit of the underground' and attracting an artistic community prepared to take risks, is the obvious choice for us!
Artist-led institution that builds on its life over 30 years being instrumental in the development of dance and its ecology which spreads out from London, across the UK and the world.
From open dance classes to way-out performances, from support for artists to projects in the local community, from kids' classes to older people's workshops, Chisenhale has something to offer everyone. It's been inspiring me to move, participate, investigate and watch for years, and still keeps fresh.
Lovely community space giving a home to dancers of all ages, and a stage for some unique performers in East London.
CDS has always allowed exciting ideas and artists to grow. It's an artistic community that's not swamped by ticking boxes, instead it continues what it originally set out to do so long ago, taking risks and being a hub for the things other venues are afraid of showing! Everyone should support places like this in an ever growing 'gentrified' London
great for kids and adults alike

Significant financing for Restoration St. Louis' $36 million Blackhawk Hotel redevelopment project was jeopardized by scathing criticism of downtown Davenport's investment climate that accompanied a commercial real estate appraisal of the nearly century-old building.
The appraisal — conducted by Mark Nelson of Roy R. Fisher Inc. — included a cover letter that warned against lending money for downtown projects, said Amy Gill, one of the Restoration St. Louis partners.
"When he wrote our appraisal, he wrote about how downtown Davenport will never be redeveloped, how our bank should not invest in Davenport and how awful the city government is," Amy Gill said.
Gill and her husband, Amrit, were notified about the letter late last week but did not see a copy until they met on Monday with Royal Banks of Missouri officials.
In addition to being a senior commercial real estate appraiser for Roy R. Fisher, Nelson is spokesman of the political action committee Opt4Better. The group formed to oppose passage of the Davenport Promise program, which goes before voters today.
The Gills were attempting to complete $1.5 million in interim financing and a $12 million construction loan from Royal Banks to help pay for the ambitious renovation. A development agreement between the city and Restoration calls for the Missouri company to invest more than $21 million in the vacant hotel, as well as $8.5 million in state historic preservation tax credits.
"It was horrible, just horrible," Amy Gill said, referring to the letter. "We had our financing lined up, and he basically screwed us."
Amy Gill said she was confused by the actual appraisal number being in line with what was expected, but the accompanying remarks focused on alleged negatives about the city.
"We've never had an appraisal like that, that comes along with a letter that says how the city is," she said.
A high-level Royal Banks of Missouri official said the content of the letter — which was received last week — was so negative the banks' chief credit officer said they would probably be doing the Gills a favor by turning down the loan.
On Monday, Nelson would not comment about the appraisal.
"I can't talk to you about any of that," he said. "I'm obligated by contract, and I can't acknowledge that I even did that appraisal."
Kevin Pollard, president of Roy R. Fisher, confirmed that Nelson conducted the Blackhawk appraisal but said he had not seen it.
City officials became concerned enough about the prospect of the Blackhawk project being jeopardized by the appraisal that they informed some aldermen late last week.
"I was speaking with Rick Palmer (executive director of the River Center and Adler Theater) and he informed me of a conversation he had with Sam Estep of Restoration St. Louis," Davenport Finance Director Alan Guard wrote to 6th Ward Alderman Jeff Justin in an e-mail sent last Thursday. "Sam told him that there was an appraiser doing an appraisal of the Blackhawk for one of RSL's banks. The appraiser spoke negatively about downtown Davenport, the city and the Blackhawk project, in essence stating that anyone involved in this project was an idiot. The appraiser was Mark Nelson."
Nelson's negative comments about the state of Davenport were markedly different from statements he made during public appearances leading up to the Promise referendum. Last Tuesday in a forum, Nelson said Davenport is prospering.
"We're doing pretty good," he said. "At a time when other communities around us are struggling, we're stable. This community has a very sustainable quality of life."
Amrit Gill of Restoration St. Louis said the appraisal problem has delayed the renovation project but will not derail it.
"This is just a completely unnecessary bump in the road," he said. "We are very bullish on Davenport, no matter what Mark Nelson says. We will bring (bankers) up and have them look downtown and see for themselves that it is not some abysmal downtown heading into the gutter, which is basically what he said."
Amrit Gill added that a market study conducted by IDM Group, a hotel and hospitality consulting firm out of Wisconsin, said downtown Davenport is ripe for the type of project the Gills have proposed.
"A new boutique hotel unique to Davenport and offering unparalleled regional quality and focused service should be highly competitive in the region and successful long term," IDM reported. "This hotel will be a great destination facility."
In addition, Amrit Gill noted, overall occupancy of downtown apartments stands at 99.4 percent.
Nelson got the appraisal job after Chuck Ruhl Jr., of NAI Ruhl & Ruhl Commercial, submitted the names of three qualified appraisal firms to Royal Banks of Missouri at the request of the Gills.
Although he hadn't seen the letter, Ruhl said he was concerned about any type of negative editorial content accompanying the appraisal.
"In all my 30-plus years of commercial real estate brokerage, I've never seen an appraiser come out with that kind of commentary," he said. "I don't think an editorial or political statement should ever accompany an appraisal. I would tell you that the Roy R. Fisher firm has been considered to be very well-qualified and professional. For this kind of editorial from Mark Nelson to come out is very inconsistent and confusing to me."
Ruhl said there are successful projects all over the downtown and the city and business climate for development there is favorable.
"I have a strong interest in seeing the Blackhawk development going forward," he said. "It's very important to help generate hotel rooms and banquet space."
Mitch Baden, chief operating officer for Royal Banks of Missouri, said the Gills' reputation in business and political circles in St. Louis is impeccable. Restoration St. Louis has completed more than 100 redevelopment projects costing more than $300 million.
"I hope people (in Davenport) realize they are real players and have done a great job," he said. "We're a very conservative lending group, and the Gills are very highly regarded by our organization. They have been the pillar to redeveloping entire neighborhoods in St. Louis. These guys have worked on very difficult transactions in the past and have done a great job."

Best way to perform arm lift, breast lift, back lift, tummy tuck, and Brazilian butt lift in 2 or 3 surgeries? (Photos)
Doctor Answers 4
Best combine procedures
Combining body contouring procedures
Thank you for including photographs from different angles! Grouping together certain body contouring procedures can minimize overall recovery time and maximize results, but it needs to be done in a safe manner. The arm lift (brachioplasty) along with the upper back lift and using this tissue to add volume to the breasts during the breast lift could be accomplished during a single procedure, while the tummy tuck and fat transfer to the buttocks could be done during a single procedure. A minimum of 6 weeks should elapse between the procedures to allow for healing and a return to baseline of the risk for blood clots (DVT). Best wishes for beautiful results!

I looked at CharConstantNode. The correct collation setting happens at bind time for this node and at the same time, we use that collation to see if we need to switch from SQLxxx to CollatorSQLxxx. This code is in CharConstantNode.bindExpression(). I guess this could be done at init time where you see the 2 calls to DataValueFactory.getCharDataValue(String), but I think it doesn't matter whether the correct witch from SQLxxx to CollatorSQLxxx happens at init time or bind time. As for the ResultColumn, I need to spend little more time on it. thanks, Mamta On 5/22/07, Daniel John Debrunner <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > > These two classes have direct calls to DataValueFactory methods that > return a CHAR/VARCHAR DataValueDescriptor with UCS_BASIC collation. > > CharConstantNode > Two calls to DataValueFactory.getCharDataValue(String) > > ResultColumn > Two calls to DataValueFactory.getVarcharDataValue(String) > > > I wonder if they should instead be obtaining a CHAR/VARCHAR value based > upon collation settings? > > Dan. > > > > > > >

Since its creation, the trombone has been an integral part of the music history. With the extension of an arm, you can emit extremely low or high vibrations that add texture to a band's overall sound. The slide, bell and tubing all work together to provide a sound that easily works with your playing style. Whether you prefer an alto, tenor or a bass tone, there is a trombone that suits your needs. The trombone has been around for centuries, first appearing during the renaissance period with its name literally meaning 'large trumpet'. Some versions like the valve trombone make this distinction partially true as its construction is similar, but the range the slide trombones allowed the musician to play with made it a unique instrument on its own. Nowadays, we hear trombone everywhere from big band configurations to jazz to ska to R&B. If you master the trombone there is no doubt that you'll be in demand. Tenor trombones are by far the most widely available and most common option. Models like the Allora AATB-202F Series or Jupiter 636L-0 are heard with most brass and jazz ensembles, offering a midrange tone that helps round out a band's overall sound. The bell size, bore and tubing are sized right between an alto and a bass trombone, making it the perfect standard option. If a trombone's tone is too high or low, it risks blending in with trumpets or tubas. Operating in the middle range is where it gets a chance to stand out. Bass trombones like the RS Berkeley TBB706 or the Conn 62H are equipped with a wider bore and bell which create a much richer and deeper tone due to their increased size. Lower pitches are attainable because of extra tubing and rotary triggers that are standard with this type of trombone construction. Larger jazz bands and orchestras will use bass trombones to enhance the low end further, usually pairing this model with the tubas. Valve and soprano/alto trombones are more specialized options but can still add a unique sound to your band's arrangements. Alto and soprano trombones offer higher octave options that are often useful for trombone choirs or orchestras and not very beneficial to solo musicians due to their being a lack of popular music that uses these specialized trombones. Valve trombones are simply without a slide and operate exactly like a trumpet. The openness of a typical slide trombone is lost as you don't have the ability to slowly move into notes. Jazz musicians tend to enjoy being able to hit the notes more quickly, so the valve option is perfect. Playing a trombone gives you the ability to create a totally unique sound that can easily enhance a recording or performance. Whatever your style of playing, there is a model that can give you the perfect tone from a shrill squeal to a deep blare.

Umbrella Corps: Been There, Done That
July 13, 2016

At one point in time, the Resident Evil name was synonymous with innovative gameplay, spine-tingling moments and most of all quality. It goes without saying that the first few entries in the series set a benchmark for the horror genre. As time progressed and genre contemporaries adapted to the growing trends in the market, Capcom followed suit and began to incorporate more modern mechanics into subsequent releases. Additions such as a behind the shoulder camera, quick time events and more variety in regards to combat were among the new additions. These changes resulted in more action heavy experiences, which was a far cry from the plotting, methodical pace that defined the series during its debut.
Fast-forward to 2016 and the Resident Evil name has markedly lost influence, resulting in a series name that means something entirely different then it did a decade prior. Largely due to a mix of poorly received spin-offs and the immensely underwhelming sixth entry in the series, Capcom lost what they had with their former genre leading franchise. Whilst the recently revealed Resident Evil 7 looks to bring the struggling series back to its roots, Umbrella Corps sets out to do the exact opposite.
Umbrella Corps, Capcom's team-based multiplayer shooter set within the Resident Evil universe takes inspiration from tactical combat heavyweights such as Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six but fails to add any nuance that sets its self apart from the aforementioned titles.
After a brief tutorial highlighting the game's basic mechanics, the ability to search for public matches becomes available. The multiplayer modes to choose from are Multi-Mission, a team mode in which objectives cycle at random, and One Life Match, a Counter-Strike-esque mode in which players are granted one life per round. Also, a single player wave-based mode entitled The Experiment is available for those who wish to warm up before heading online. The modes offer little in the way of variety but remain serviceable nonetheless. I often found myself alternating between game modes without ever gaining a preference for any one in particular.
Much like other tactical shooters, Umbrella Corps allows the ability to swap between both third and first-person views. Shooting in both modes is mostly responsive but can feel floaty at times due to how fast character movement is. Switching between the two views feels snappy and works as it should. However, the third-person camera is much too close to the character, which makes for an uncomfortable viewing angle.
During matches, the A.I. (mainly comprised of zombies and various B.O.W.'s from across the Resident Evil universe) will roam the environment acting as hazards to both opposing teams. While having a neutral threat present during a PVP mode is an interesting idea, the A.I.'s presence only ends up getting in the way of gameplay instead of adding to it. The A.I. that populates the field serves as nothing more than hobbling bullet sponges to either ignore or shoot at. Furthermore, since the majority of the maps are mostly small, their inclusion can often distract and cause congestion.
As I continued to reluctantly play Umbrella Corps, I found myself wondering why I wasn't able to at least extract some enjoyment out of the title. The gameplay, while nothing special, was serviceable enough and the modes were more or less standard multiplayer fare. After some (very) brief deliberation, I came to the realization that everything offered in Umbrella Corps has already been done significantly better in titles that have preceded it. If Capcom were to release Umbrella Corps ten years ago, it may have had a better chance at standing out.
Umbrella Corps is a drab, lifeless and forgetful shooter but its existence is emblematic of a larger problem. The problem being how Capcom is handling the Resident Evil brand itself. The beloved franchise is seemingly dragged along for the ride with each and every release and I can't help but lose some respect and interest in the series.
As a former Resident Evil fan, my time spent with Umbrella Corps left me disheartened. Hopefully in the future, maybe sometime after Resident Evil 7's arrival, Capcom will exercise some much-needed restraint when it comes to releasing Resident Evil related content.

John-Luke Busby of French Private Finance is based in the UK and specialises in sorting out mortgages on French homes for UK expats living there or elsewhere abroad – it has many clients in the Middle East who want to buy homes in France.
"The French mortgage market is one of the most active in the world with some of the best conditions for non-residents and also expats," he said.
"Those expats working for a large international firm on a permanent basis can expect the widest number of offers from different banks."
But he adds that those expats who are on short-term contracts, are self-employed, or are employed by local companies, will find it much harder to get a deal.
However, he says that the French property market for expats remains active. "The best terms will be up to 80pc loan to value while 70pc would be the norm. Rates do not change for expats, only the availability of the credit and the loan to value. Current offers can be found as low as 3pc tracker mortgage. This is available only to non-residents."
But he says that expats wanting to buy in France have had a similarly tough time to those wanting to buy in the UK.
"Over the last year a number of banks such as LCL (Le Crédit Lyonnais) and SocGen have closed their international platforms while others have ceased lending to those outside the European Union. It is true that it is harder to find good deals than it was a year ago, which makes an experienced broker who knows the banks' criteria all the more useful."
The French home-buying process is different from the UK, so homebuyers need ideally to get a mortgage agreed in principle before they make an offer, otherwise they might lose any deposit they put down if a mortgage cannot be obtained.
Tim Harvey of Offshoreonline says that French banks will also demand borrowers work for blue chip companies. "Another feature of French banks is that if they do not wish to take on a case, very often the applicant simply does not hear from them," he adds. "This 'Gallic shrug' needs to be borne in mind when considering time zones and distance if no feedback is forthcoming."
Italy is another popular spot for the would-be expat buyer – but it's a tough one to crack. Since the credit crunch bit, nearly all Italian banks stopped lending to expats, meaning the only way to get a mortgage on an Italian home was by going to a local Italian bank branch. Things are getting slightly better, but ideally you'll need to go local, which means speaking the language – and putting up with Italian bureaucracy.
Portugal is another expat hot spot, where your only chance of getting a mortgage is going to a local lender.
Spain is one of the biggest expat markets – but it's not without its problems. Property prices slumped, and some expats have homes worth much less than they paid for them. Mr Harvey says that for a while, you would get a mortgage in Spain only with a 50pc deposit. "The Spanish market is still a difficult place to negotiate," he adds. "But the larger international banks are now back in the market.
"However, lending terms are highly restrictive and the best loans with just a 20pc deposit are available only to borrowers residing in an EU country; others will have to contribute 40-50pc."

Catbert is a fictional character in the comic strip Dilbert by Scott Adams.
Catbert works as the "evil director of human resources" and often acts purely evil. Catbert once sent Wally home because he was wearing shorts, despite the fact that they only reach to his ankles. He often loves to claw his employees and once batted Dilbert's head off. Much like Brian Griffin from Family Guy who despite being anthropomorphic, he still has cat like instincts such as a love for catnip.
