Russian Treasures
Borne of Nigel Short's enduring love of Russian Orthodox music, 'Russian Treasures' remains one of Tenebrae's most popular programmes.

Tenebrae is the current master of the Russian sound.

A few thoughts on this morning's Nintendo Direct
As any long-suffering Nintendo fan knows, the company's "Nintendo Direct" broadcasts tend to be hit-or-miss affairs. Although some of them have produced bonafide megatons (like when Bayonetta 2 was announced), just as many others have been utter snoozefests.
Given that, I wasn't at all sure what to expect from this morning's trio of Wii U-focused Nintendo Directs (one for Europe, one for Japan and one for North America). I had a feeling at least a few bombs would be dropped thanks to the rather ho-hum launch of company's latest console, but would they be "we're working on a sequel to Wii Party" bombs or would they be "Bayonetta 2 will hit store shelves in May" bombs?
Interestingly enough, Nintendo is working on a sequel (of sorts) to Wii Party. That was about the least interesting of all of the announcements that were part of this Nintendo Direct, though, so I think it's safe to say that this particular broadcast was far more "hit" than "miss."
Specifically, here are what I considered to be the high points of this morning's address:
* The look inside Platinum Games' office, where the company's staffers seem to be hard at work on Bayonetta 2, was all sorts of awesome. Sure, we didn't get to see any actual gameplay footage, but we were given enough glimpses of in-the-works enemies and environments to know the final product probably is going to rock our respective worlds.
* OK, so it wasn't all that surprising to hear that new 3D Mario and Mario Kart games are being prepped for Wii U. To hear that both games will be shown in playable form at E3 2013, though, was pretty shocking--as was Satoru Iwata's utterance that we'll finally get to see some screens of the next Smash Bros. title at the same event.
* Considering it's been rumored for a while now, I doubt many people fainted or felt heart palpitations after Iwata revealed that the Wii U will receive a Yoshi-focused platformer in the near future. My own heart certainly starting racing, though, when I heard that it's being developed by the geniuses at Good-Feel and saw that it's going to look more than a bit like that group's Kirby's Epic Yarn.
* So, let me make sure I'm understanding this correctly: Atlus is working with Nintendo to produce a Wii U game that brings together the characters and settings of the Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem series? If so, uh, I'm not sure what to think, to tell you the truth. I mean, it certainly sounds interesting, and I'm sure the resulting game will be stellar, but I can't quite picture it yet, you know?
* What I can picture: making my way through Monolith Soft's next game--which looks a lot like their last one (that being Xenoblade Chronicles), actually, but about a million times better--with a humungous grin on my face. You know, because of the gorgeous visuals. And the huge environments. Oh, and the transforming mechas.
As for the low points of this morning's Nintendo Direct:
* Although it was nice to hear that Nintendo will soon bring the Virtual Console to the Wii U, I can't help but feel a little ... bored by the whole thing. Don't get me wrong, it's great that the Wii U versions will feature save states and offer off-TV play, and it's even greater that people who purchased certain NES and SNES games via the Wii Virtual Console will be able to re-buy their Wii U equivalents for just $1 or $1.50, but my excitement is being tempered by the fact that it seems Nintendo will once again release them in a dribble rather than a deluge.
* A good part of me doesn't want to mention the Wii Party-like game that's being made for the Wii U. Not because it looks bad, mind you; it's just not a game that lights up my radar, if you know what I mean. That said, I thought the mini-games that require two players to use the Wii U GamePad at the same time (while holding it between them) looked kind of fun.
* I'm well aware that most Nintendo fans likely gasped with excitement when it was announced that a high-definition version of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker would make its way onto the Wii U later this year. I wasn't one of them. Don't get me wrong: I love (what I've played of) Wind Waker. I'm not feeling the same kind of love, though, for the graphics (of the Wii U version) that were shown this morning. Why does it seem like they're no longer cel-shaded? I'll definitely have to see more of this before I decide to pick it up or not, but at the moment I'm leaning toward the latter.
* The worst news of this broadcast by far, in my opinion: Iwata admitted that no first-party Wii U titles will be released in January or February. So, no Game & Wario, Pikmin 3, Wii Fit U or The Wonderful 101 (above) for you--until at least March, that is.
Now that I've had my say, what did all of you think of this Nintendo Direct? Did it wow you? Did it put you to sleep? Did it cause some other sort of reaction? Let me know in the comments section below.

I let out a fangirl squee when I saw Yoshi. It's YOSHI! How can you not smile when you see that lil' blob of adorableness run across the screen?
Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem: My head explodeded (extra 'ed' added for emphasis on how hardcore my head exploded). Of course, this happened when I was done squeeing. I kinda picture it being along the same vein as Project X Zone or Namco X Capcom in terms of gameplay...
Monolith Soft Xeno-game: The rest of my body collapsed leaving nothing but a stump as the rest of my body parts exploded off my body. BOOM. I can't wait to hear more about it!
While I'm happy that more people will have a chance to experience Wind Waker, I must agree with you Bryan; it doesn't quite look so cel-shaded, which was such a huge part of the original's charm, imo.
I've ranted enough, so I'll end it here. Meow :3
Zaphod65 said...
I'm excited for the new Wind Waker. It looks pretty and I'm curious to see what kind of tweaks they're making to the gameplay.
I don't have a Wii U yet, but I'm getting one soon for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and that Xenoblade game made me start drooling.
The Virtual Console announcement... blah. At least they're not going to charge us full price for the VC games we've bought for Wii. I'm hoping like crazy the tidbit about Game Boy Advance games is leading to an announcement that GBA is coming to the 3DS (other than the Ambassador titles we received).
Having said that... the idea of portable Super Metroid made me happy. Even if it's only portable to the next room in my apartment. lol
Lizzi said...
I'm so excited about Monolith's new game and the Zelda Wind Waker remake!
About the Shin Megami Tensei meets Fire Emblem thing: When characters of the Shin Megami Tensei games were shown I nearly had a heard attack (because of joy) because I thought Nintendo announces the EU release of Shin Megami Tensei IV.
But then the Fire Emblem characters showed up and I was just soooooooo disappointed...
To be honest, this disappointment was way worse then tha one about the Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101 and Game& Wario delay...
Just horrible :(
I was kinda happy to hear about the great Balloon Fight Virtual Console offer.
I never bought any Virtual Console games on the Wii and I guess I will start buying some of the classics on the Wii U.
As for Bayonetta 2: I told you before how much I disliked the first Bayonetta (mostly because of the Xbox 360 untypical bad graphics) game and I'm still skeptical but I guess I'll give the sequel a try.
Bryan I have to confess something:
I hated Kirby's Epic Yarn. I hated how it lookes and that Kirby can't swallow the enemies.
So I was not sooo happy to hear that the new Yoshi game will be an Epic Yarn rip off.
thegaygamer.com said...
Ha ha! I love your reactions, Sonji :) I also squealed (albeit internally) during the Yoshi reveal. I *really* can't wait to see how awesome it looks when it's done.
I also can't wait to see more of Monolith Soft's game. I have to say that I'm completely shocked that it already seems so ... complete. And not only that but GORGEOUS. I'm sure Wii U haters will find something to complain about, but from my perspective it looks PERFECT right now :)
As for SMT X FE: that one is going to be interesting, isn't it? I wonder how far along it is?
Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts--as always!
Yeah, I'm curious as to what Iwata meant when he said they'll be tweaking the gameplay of Wind Waker.
Also, I fully support and understand drooling over the Monolith Soft game. I want it now! Honestly, just seeing it (and Yoshi) made me think, "Yep, the Wii U's going to be OK."
And if Nintendo or SE can bring Dragon Quest X to our shores? All the better.
Honestly, if DQX somehow is released here before November, I'll pick up a Wii U earlier than I imagined I would just for that.
As for GBA games coming to the Wii U Virtual Console: if that doesn't also mean GBA games will be coming to the 3DS eShop, I'll eat my hat. It had better mean that!
BTW, I really hope NIntendo has a 3DS-focused Nintendo Direct planned for the next month or so. I want to hear about Miiverse on the 3DS and some new games, too.
So, you're not at all interested in the SMT x Fire Emblem cross-over, Lizzi? I can understand being disappointed about the lack of news of a localization of SMT IV, but don't give up hope. It's still a ways from a release in Japan, so it's not unusual that it hasn't been announced for release anywhere else yet.
Anyway, I'm still curious about the SMT x FE cross-over. I think it could be pretty interesting if handled correctly.
I'm kind of surprised you never bought any VC games via your Wii! I bought ... well, too many to mention here. That's partially why I'm not so happy about or interested in the Wii U VC announcement, as I'm not all that interested in re-buying the games I've already bought (even at a reduced price). So, for me, I'll probably just buy games that I didn't buy for the Wii, if that makes sense.
I'm also kind of shocked to hear you say you hated Kirby's Epic Yarn! I guess I can understand being upset that ol' Kirby couldn't inhale enemies like he usually can, but other than that I found the game to be absolutely top-notch.
Oh, well, you know what they say: different strokes for different folks!
diaglyph said...
It's certainly interesting!
Wind Waker - I hope they "finish" the game as intended! It felt incomplete to me (and I'm sure I read somewhere Nintendo rushed it). I also hope they tweak the ocean search section (this part made me give up on the game back then). Hopefully it will be reasonably priced when it comes out.
Bayonetta - still too much of a teaser LOL Though I think its probably going to have a release date later in the year (unless the footage they showed was from last year). But still looking forward to this!! I also hope they manage to port the first one to Wii U ;) I enjoyed the first one :)
SMT x Fire Emblem - this was surprise!! A full console crossover game! And since Ninty is involved it means us euro gamers will get the game within a reasonable amount of time (unlike just Atlus games which always take forever to reach euro regions, since doesn't believe euro regions exist).
Monolithsoft "X" game - this teaser just screamed Xenoblade to me! hahahaha The world, the action bar, the mech, the music. And I love the graphics! So beautiful!! Can't wait to get more info on this one!!
I'm not sure what to think about the VC stuff - I have to see it for myself.
Wonderful 101 - the game certainly looks interesting. I hope a demo comes out.
Yoshi - I'm neutral. yeah it looks cute etc but I can't say either way.
Wii U Party - I dunno. Might be fun.
Yeah, Igor, it'll be interesting to see what happens with Wind Waker. I'm not all that interested in it at the moment, but that may change if it looks better upon release and if Nintendo makes some interesting changes to it.
I think it'll be a wasted opportunity if Sega/Platinum/Nintendo don't release the first Bayonetta for Wii U. Of course, we all know Sega's and Nintendo's track record when it comes to wasted opportunities :|
As for SMT x Fire Emblem: I'm not sure what to think about this either. How on earth are these games' settings, etc., going to work together?
It's funny how clearly 'X' seems to be a Xenoblade sequel or prequel, yet it isn't yet being sold as such. I guess we'll see eventually?
Regardless, I'm looking forward to it as much as I'm looking forward to just about any Wii U game these days.
Josef Axner said...
I have basically zero interest in any Zelda game after Link's Awakening, so it wouldn't sway me to a purchasing decision either way, but BOY do those Wind Waker screens look atrocious. The original Wind Waker is not only a great looking game, it is pretty much THE example of a game using a strong, unique - and extremely well-executed - art direction, in order to create gorgeous, completely timeless visuals. Wind Waker came out 10 years ago, and still looks better than pretty much anything that comes out today!
More importantly, the Gamecube's power was perfectly sufficient in realizing that art direction. What they are doing with the Wii U version is absolutely baffling to me - using the newfound hardware capabilities to inject graphical features bells and whistles like rimlighting, bloom, and whatever else nonsense - art direction be damned! They are effectively replacing the original version's more or less flawless execution of a great concept, with completely generic shader effects and lighting. Wind Waker HD will not only age less graciously than the original game, it already looks uglier. This is the Star Wars Special Editions in video game form.
If they were dead set on making it look different from the original, why does it look like awful generic plastic, and not like this?
http://gameandgraphics.com/post/41293507193/the-legend-of-zelda-the-wind-waker-original-art
It truly saddens me to see people eating it up. It's as if a higher rendering resolutions and the letters "HD" will make people completely blind and ignorant.
As for Yoshi, the yarn look for Yoshi himself is a little peculiar, but aside from that I would say the denim-patchwork look of Yoshi's Story is much more of an influence than Kirby. It is kind of a funny coincidence, though. I guess someone at Nintendo really likes sewing or making quilts or something.
The rest of it, I don't really have much of an opinion on. My Xbox 360 and PS3 both get plenty of workout so I really have no desire to blow a bunch of money on a new console, though of course it doesn't really help that I haven't been able to muster any enthusiasm for anything Nintendo's done in, I dunno, ten years or so? The Wonderful 101 still looks awesome, Bayonetta will likely be a fantastic action game (never played the first one on account of strongly disliking the visual design, not being a fan of DMC, and not owning an Xbox at the time - but I hear great things and have the utmost confidence in Platinum) - but those two games really aren't enough to get me excited about the Wii U to the point of considering buying one.
Incidentally I kind of felt similarly with the Wii - there were (eventually) interesting looking games for the system, and some day I'd like to pick one up to play that handful of games that I missed, and when I do I'm sure I could find a dozen or two games that I like, that justify getting the console. But with how busy I've been with other games in the meantime, I can't honestly say I feel that I've been missing out, and I guess that sort of bleeds over to my feelings about the WiiU. If I got one I could have fun with it, no problem, but I feel completely fine with not getting to have those experiences.
retr0gamer said...
I think I need a WiiU.
You and me both, retr0gamer. That said, I don't mind waiting until a few of these games are released, or at least get release dates. Basically, I'm pretty sure at this point that I won't be getting a Wii U until at least this fall. You?
Hey there, Josef!
Well, I can't say I disagree with you when it comes to Wind Waker HD. To me, the way to do this would be to render the original's graphics in widescreen HD and to add back in the dungeons, etc., that were cut the first time around.
What they're doing here, on the other hand, doesn't appeal to me at all.
Who knows, though, maybe in the end they'll do what I suggested above? Or maybe they'll give folks options when it comes to the art style (a la Katamari Forever)? I wouldn't bet on it, of course, but you never know...
I've heard other people suggest the new Yoshi game may be more inspired by Yoshi's Story than Epic Yarn, and that's true. If anything, I have a feeling this new Yoshi game is inspire by both Yoshi's Story and Epic Yarn.
Regardless, I hope what was shown in the static screenshots is more indicative of how the game looks than the Epic Yarn-esque video that was shown.
As for not having any interest in Nintendo or the Wii U or even the Wii: well, I can't really argue against that. We all like what we like, and given the cost of today's systems and games, most of us can't own everything that's out there.
Interestingly, the way you feel about Nintendo and the Wii U/Wii is pretty much how I feel about Sony and the PS4/PS3. I know I would enjoy owning a PS3, and I know I could find a good number of games for it if I owned one, but at the moment I'm enjoying my DS and 3DS and Wii (and other systems) so much that I can't really be bothered to buy one.
I may still do so later this year or early next (although not until Sony drops the price again), but that's hardly written in stone at this point given my desire for a Wii U.
As for the PS4 and next Xbox? Well, they're pretty much not even on my radar at the moment, especially since I'm guessing they'll cost at least $399 each. I may get one or both of them eventually, though, assuming they offer enough of the kinds of games that I want to play.
Bryan- I think your ho-hum reaction to the Wii U VC will change once you get a Wii U and start immersing yourself in Miiverse. The potential for art and discussion of classic games in the communities is incredibly exciting to me! Miiverse is, like StreetPass on the 3DS, the system's secret killer feature and I think it will definitely enhance retro titles in innumerable ways. I can't wait!
Hey there, Justin :) Yeah, I was kind of excited when they first announced Wind Waker HD, too. And then they showed the screens. Ugh. Like others have said, though, this clearly is still early, so maybe in the end they'll just go with cel-shading? At least that's what I'm hoping.
So glad to hear you're excited about the Yoshi game, too. Personally, I'd buy it in a heartbeat even if it completely aped Epic Yarn, but I have a feeling it won't in the end (at least not completely).
I can't believe you're feeling 'meh' about 'X'! Hell, I'd buy it for the graphics and soundtrack alone, but of course I'm also attracted to the gameplay (esp. the mech stuff).
SMT/FE: Atlus has confirmed its an RPG :) So at least we know it will stick to RPG conventions!!
I'm hoping in battle it'll use grid system to move around (like Fire Emblem) and when you attack it switches to battle mode and perhaps it will work like SMT battles (tho I hope turn based haha)
Well, that sounds lovely to me, Igor! Really can't wait until we see some actual screens of this one. I wonder how far along it is at this point?
miruki said...
I still don't get why they would make the sequel to an PS3 & 360 game a WiiU exclusive... so if you played the first on PS3 and really liked it... you're suddenly forced to spend around 300 Euro plus another 60 for the game just so you can play the continuation? I don't get why any developer would agree to such sucktastic publishing deals - I mean, sure, Ninty probably gave them a whole lot of money for that, but in the end, how is it smart to piss off your fanbase? (This reminds me of Skulls of the Shogun, which Microsoft got a very exclusive deal for, which is really, really annoying.. only gets released on 360, Windows mobile and Win8... right. Release a game for just ONE version of your OS. orz...)
I like the look of that mysterious X game that is clearly tied to the Xenoverse in some way and looks just like Xenoblade in HD and all.. but I'll probably wait another 5 years until I consider getting a Wii U.
Oh, I'm definitely with you there. The 360 and PS3 don't really feel "old" at all as far as I'm concerned, if anything I feel like they're more in their prime than ever. So I have zero interest in buying a new, expensive piece of gaming hardware; especially if this generation of consoles have been any indication of where the industry is headed - evolving technical specs leading to exponentially more expensive development, in turn leading to dozens of development studios closing shop because they need to spend millions but can't get Activision/EA/Nintendo sales figures.
I'm also not excited for the next generation of consoles since I am fully expecting even more draconian DRM schemes, more DLC nonsense and less single-player/local multi focused games in general...
Modern gaming can be kind of depressing sometimes :(
I have to agree with Igor (diaglyph, below), miruki. The reason Bayonetta 2 is going to be exclusive to the Wii U is that Nintendo basically breathed life back into its development. It had been left for dead (i.e., it wasn't going to be published) by the time Nintendo decided it wanted the game. Also, at this point, Nintendo is going to publish the game worldwide. Given all of that, it seems pretty obvious why it's going to be a Wii U-only game.
I understand why people who enjoyed the 360 or PS3 versions of the game are upset by that, but there isn't much that can be done with it. They'll either have to buy a Wii U or not play the sequel.
BTW, as far as I'm aware, the first Bayonetta didn't exactly set the world on fire with its sales, so I think most of the anger about this game being Wii U-only is coming from folks who just don't want the Wii U to have such a game--or they want such a game to appear on PS3/4 or Xbox 360/720.
Finally, I have a feeling the first Bayonetta will be released for Wii U before Bayonetta 2 is released, so in a way Platinum and Nintendo will re-build the series on that platform.
If they'd do that, then I'd be a little more pleased. It's not the game exactly that's bothering me - but it's this trend of doing exclusives to secure more sales of a system or OS. I'm actually a lot more annoyed by the Skulls of the Shogun thing than I am about Bayonetta - I didn't really know the background story for that either, as it's not one of the games I'd play by myself (as I just suck too much for it ;D I've gotta admit, when I saw my bro play it I was drooling a little.. ;>) - just the whole thing seems so unfair to the fans and the fans are exactly who you'd want to keep as a developer / publisher, right? Exclusives are kinda like a double-edged sword to me - of course it's great from a marketing perspective to have a few exclusives for your system but on the other hand it's a lot better to have a much wider audience to sell the game to, right?
I don't blame Nintendo or Microsoft for making these deals, for them it's great. But as a developer I'd feel very bad about making such an exclusive deal, as it would keep a high percentage of gamers from playing my games. Especially if you suddenly jump to another system for a continuation - sure, it can't be helped in Bayonetta 2's case, I'd still feel ripped of if I were a fan of that series and would only own a 360 or PS3. ;_;
I understand how you feel, miruki, but in this case the game wouldn't be published at all--on any system--if Nintendo hadn't stepped in. And considering they did that, you can't really blame them for wanting to solely benefit from the game's sales, can you?
Regardless, I wouldn't worry about this kind of thing too much. Although I think it will happen here and there this next generation, I don't think it's going to happen too often, as it's going to be in a publisher's best interest to get each game onto every platform/system possible.
Now, certain games are always going to be Wii U-only or PS4-only, etc., but I'll bet many third-party games will be released for all systems.
That said, the Wii U's off to a pretty bad start in that regard, as many of the big third-party games aren't being released for it.
Oh, well, I say. Nintendo hasn't had great third-party support for ages, so why would it start now?
I'm a PC gamer, so yes, an upgrade of couple hundred $$ is required every couple of years (tho hardcore PC gamers would probably upgrade their PC as soon as new components come out!) haha :)
Nintendo needs these exclusives. I don't think Nintendo will win over the xbox/PS fans, but it could be enough to win over the gamers that are in the "middle".
It won't surprise me to see similar exclusives come to PS4 and the next xbox.

Making brighter cities
VolkerHighways selects Telensa for Medway Council smart streetlight deployment
Connecting and managing 21,000 LED streetlights provides Medway with improved control, reduces the Council's carbon footprint and provides support for a smart city platform
Telensa, the world leader in smart street lighting and smart city data applications, today announced that it has been selected by VolkerHighways to deliver wireless streetlight controls and a Central Management System (CMS) for Medway Council. The project will replace 24,000 streetlights with highly efficient Light Emitting Diodes (LED), which will be wirelessly connected and managed using Telensa's CMS – called PLANet.
Smart street lighting will enable the region to adapt their street lighting network remotely, provide a critical service even during potential lockdowns and save both energy and maintenance costs. The deployment is expected to complete in July 2022.
Cllr Phil Filmer, Medway Council's portfolio holder for Frontline Services, said: ""I am pleased that thousands of energy efficient lights will be installed across Medway over the next two years. The new management system will allow us to switch the lights on and off and dim them, where necessary. This will give us better control over power consumption and the system will automatically notify us of any faults and reduce the need for regular inspections. This project is just one of many ways that we are seeking to reduce our carbon footprint, improve the environment within Medway and start to lay the foundations for our Smart City ambitions. I look forward to seeing the works progress."
"We are excited to be working with Medway Council to deliver a flexible and resilient street & public lighting system, that will respond to the community's future needs," said Brent Hudson, CEO at Telensa. "The current pandemic, rising energy prices and tightening budgets mean that it is more important than ever to be able to offer deployment-proven solutions to local authorities,"
"Alistair Thompson, managing director for VolkerHighways, said: "It's great to be part of a project that will deliver real environmental change, with a highly efficient energy saving lighting solution that incorporates smart, future- proofed systems. We have a long-standing relationship with Medway Council, so it's great to be working on this additional street lighting contract. We will continue to provide a high-quality service, strengthening our existing relationship within the communities we serve."
Telensa PLANet is an end-to-end intelligent street lighting system, consisting of wireless nodes connecting individual lights, a dedicated wireless network, and a Central Management System. PLANet maximises the benefits of LEDs, pays for itself in reduced energy and maintenance costs, improves quality of service through automatic fault reporting, and turns streetlight poles into hubs for smart city sensors. With more than 2 million lights connected, Telensa PLANet is the world's most popular connected streetlight system.
About Telensa
Telensa makes wireless smart city applications, helping cities around the world save energy, work smarter and deliver more joined-up services for their citizens. Telensa PLANet is the world's most deployed smart streetlight solution, with a footprint of two million lights. Urban IQ builds on the compelling business case for smart street lighting to provide cities and utilities with an open, low-cost platform to add multiple sensor applications.

Edusites Media recommend a logical time to introduce the MS2 coursework is in week 11, the last week in November. By then students will have been exposed to a range of film genres as stimulus material, will have been taught target audiences and demographics (fundamental to MS2) and will fully understand the core concepts of the year one - Media Language, Genre, Narrative, Representation and Audience.
This brief is film genres - the coursework guide will focus on the science fiction genre as a filming option available to students, but can be mapped onto any other film genre from thrillers and documentary to horror, comedy and fantasy. For this particular guide the scheme of work is for an individual production although it must be stressed, group work is acceptable for MS2 (production only, maximum 4 group size - see film group breakdown under production).

Derby Exhibition (1839)
Interior of the Mechanics' Institute
Samuel Rayner
Hand coloured lithograph print
Derby Museum and Art Gallery, Derby
The Derby Exhibition of 1839 was the first exhibition in Derby. It was held at the town's Mechanics' Institute, which later became known as Albert Hall. The exhibition was in line with the founding values of the Institute, which were to extend the spread of knowledge among the people of Derby. The institute had organized a wide range of events since 1825, including lectures, concerts, and displays.[1] The exhibition followed the first such organised by Manchester Mechanics Institute in 1837 and Derby's was one of several that were organised that year in English industrial towns and cities.[2] Derby's exhibition had a profound impact and was one of the factors leading to the foundation of the Museum and Library in 1878. Derby Museum and Art Gallery, which is next door to what was the Mechanics Institute building, now holds many of the objects from the exhibition.
The exhibition was organised to pay for a lecture hall which had just been added in 1837 to the Derby Mechanic's institute premises in the Wardwick. Although these organisations were called Mechanic's Institutes they were funded and organised by dignitaries and not by mechanics. The exhibition attracted over 96,000 people and Derby's institute as a result was placed on a good financial basis.[3]
The exhibition is the subject matter of Interior of the Mechanics' Institute, a hand coloured lithograph print from a drawing by Samuel Rayner. This print shows the Lecture Hall, which was the main hall of the Institute. The hall was described at the time as "in the Grecian style... with a handsome chandelier ...and many valuable paintings". Around the top of the room is a frieze similar to work by John Henning. Over one thousand objects were displayed there including many that belonged to the philanthropist Joseph Strutt.[1] The exhibits to a variety of categories: paintings by Joseph Wright (Romeo and Juliet can be seen on display on the far wall, towards the left), scientific instruments, fossils, a coconut...[4]
The Derby exhibition was admired by the mechanics institutes in nearby Leicester and Nottingham and both organised similar exhibitions the following year. They also were able to charter a train on the newly opened railway to carry their members on a railway excursion.[5]

Okay, well, it might not really feel like fall yet but it will soon! We are not trying to rush summer but instead inspire you with a taste of fall in today's blog post. Yellows and whites look gorgeous any time of year but when accented with autumn branches the color really comes to life.


Over the weekend my wife and I took a one-night trip to West Palm Beach to take in a Green Day concert and get one night of uninterrupted sleep. As we were walking into the amphitheater, I couldn't help but notice that I was the only one who had printed my tickets on card stock. Pretty embarrassing for everyone else. As it turns out, though, while card stock is undeniably classy, it is a bit hard to fold up and store after entry. Luckily, my shirt had a handy breast pocket that was perfect for the job!

Lightweight and durable, this chair has easy-to-clean vinyl upholstery and swing-away foot rests so that patients and healthcare staff don't have to worry about damage to the chair, and ensures that patients stay comfortable while mobile.
The 2000 Series latex-free wheelchair is designed with a carbon steel frame covered with rust and chip-resistant chrome-plating. The armrests and upholstered and padded. Threaded seat screw inserts reduce stripping potential from upholstery changes, important in healthcare environments. A chart pocket located on the back frees up staff hands for safe transportation.
The arms are removable so that easily move in closer to a desk or table if needed. The 300 lb weight capacity accommodates most patients, and the seat measures 18"W x 16"D.


The two companies will co-exhibit at Viscom Italia 2018, Fiera Milano, 18-20 October where they will show a Kongsberg C64 table. B+B International provides system integration and customer support to converters, packaging designers, digital shops and printers. It will also showcase its Packway job costing and management system for carton printers.

Happy Thai, Laos and Cambodian New Year!
This week marks the coming of the New Year for many Southeast Asian countries who welcome in the New Year traditionally in April instead of January.
The celebrations take place around the 13-16th of April and sometimes last up to a week.
Each country has their own traditions and there are many spiritual and religious aspects, but water plays a significant part in the celebrations throughout.
It is traditional to pour water on another's shoulder to bring them these blessings. However, in a number of cities it has turned days of city-wide water fights!
Two years ago this week I spent New Year in Laos. From the moment of our arrival in the capital Vientiane we began to be dosed in water.
Within minutes we were welcomed on the back of a huge vehicle by strangers keen to share their celebrations with us, we were handed water pistols, buckets and became part of their team and soon friends.
As we meandered through the city they taught us New Year greetings in Lao and asked us about our lives; with water coming in all directions from those young and old.
Some stayed on vehicles and others found prime positions on the side of the road to strategically drench passers-by. The vastness of the water fight is impossible to describe and all in all it transpired to be one of the best days of my life.
Even days later when reaching Luang Prabang we were welcomed by the locals as we walked by to a street birthday party, where they proceeded to poor pond water over us and share their food and hospitality until the early hours.
It's not all about water though!
In Thailand New Year is named Songkran and in cities such as Chiang Mai it is celebrated for as long as six days or longer! In the north of Thailand many take handfuls of sand to their nearest monastery in order to make amends for the dirt they have carried away on their feet for the rest of the year.
Laos New Year is called Songkan or Pbeemai. The first day marks the last day of the old year, many take the opportunity to clean their houses and villages to prepare for the New Year. The second day is named the 'day of no day' as it falls neither in the New Year or the old year. And the last day of the festival marks the welcoming of the New Year.
In Cambodian New Year is Chaul Chnam Thmey and is a time to prepare special dishes to enjoy such as kralan which is a cake made from steamed rice mixed with beans or peas, grated coconut and coconut milk which is then stuffed inside a bamboo stick before being slowly roasted.
So remember if you ever visit, when someone throws water on you it is a sign of respect and a blessing and you should throw water on them too!

One of the most explicit philosophies Eliot explores is what constitutes a true Christian martyr. As Thomas explains in his Interlude sermon, a martyr is not merely one who dies for God, but rather one who allows himself to be "the instrument of God" (199). He argues that a martyr is not made by accident, but rather by God's will. Thomas's journey in Part I is marked by his acceptance that he wants to seek martyrdom for the sake of his pride and worldly glory, and his subsequent willingness to rid himself of those desires and to die solely for God's cause. Further, the play explores martyrdom in terms of how it impacts the true believers who come afterward. The chorus must come to terms with the fact that a martyr's death saddles them with a burden to validate the sacrifice through their own lives. In many ways, a true martyr must die as Christ did – because God wills it – and those Christians who follow are expected to subsume their own lives in service of God for that reason.

Note: The Half-Life SDK available on Github was built using Visual Studio 2010 so it will run out of the box with that version. Newer versions require that the Solutions be converted to work with these newer versions of the IDE. The IDE will tell you when it performs this conversion.
Download the Half-Life SDK from Valve's Github repository, You can place and extract the downloaded ZIP anywhere you like.
Note: For those using Visual Studio 2015 changes to the C Library have caused many warnings in Valves Half-Life SDK. Community member Malortie has created a fork which compiles for Visual Studio 2015. I would suggest using it until Valve makes changes to support Visual Studio 2015 in the official repository.
Note: You may see the following if you are using a version of Visual Studio newer than 2010 Simply click OK and let it work. This is the conversion process I noted earlier.
If it is not highlighted in bold simply right click on it an Select Set as StartUp Project.
We need to make some changes to hldll's properties. To access these simply right click and select Properties.
Firstly let's change Configuration in the top left corner to "All Configurations". This means that changes we make to the properties page will propagate through all project configurations in this case both Debug and Release.
If we want to be able to debug our code within Visual Studio we need to tell Visual Studio where hl.exe resides.
Under Debugging -> Command provide the path to hl.exe.
We should Unload the remaining Projects in the solution that we are currently not using. Right click on all unwanted projects (hl_cdll, dmcdll, etc..) and select Unload from the menu. hldll should be the only remaining "loaded" project.
If you unloaded all other projects you can simply click under Build "Build Solution", it will build the remaining loaded projects.
Let's disable these common warnings.
Apply these settings and compile again. The warnings should no longer be present in the log.
You should see that the build has succeeded, You can now double check the generated hl.dll file's timestamp to ensure that it created a fresh Library in the right location.
If all looks good we can now try and run the game from within Visual studio. Click on Local Windows Debugger to launch the game.
Start up Steam, Half-Life should then run and you should be able to play through the original game without issue.
Let's add a message for when the player jumps.
The \n is important because it adds a line break so that the next call to this method doesn't simply stick text to the end of your statement but rather creates its own newline.
The Server (aka hldll) contains all the code that is common between all players, These include AI, Monsters, Items, Weapons, gamerules, entities, etc..
The Client (aka hl_cdll) contains all the code that is specific to each player, Things such as the HUD, events system, input processing, VGUI (MOTD, TFC team/class selection, command menu) as well as some items for rendering.
You can learn more about this kind of game architecture here.
Build your binaries in release mode when you are making a final binary to distribute to friends or the community. To do this simply right click on the project, select Properties -> Configuration Manager (Top Right). In the window that appears select Release from the Top-Left drop down box. This sets the active configuration to Release as opposed to Debug which is the default setting. Close the window and compile the project again.
This will create a Release folder next to your Debug folder in the solution (code) directory. If you set your settings to affect all configurations as described earlier the newly compiled dll will have copied to the correct mod folder.
When compared to the Debug binaries the Release binaries are typically smaller in size and contain optimizations to improve performance at runtime.
I want to extend my thanks to Shepard62700FR who provided some very helpful advice which I added to the tutorial.
I want to thank Malortie for his Visual Studio 2015 compatible version of the Half-Life SDK which I am sure many of you will find useful.
And finally I want to thank you the reader who took the time to read this, I hope this short tutorial helps you in some small way. If you find any issues or if you know of anything this tutorial should include please feel free to send an e-mail onto me concerning it.
The support thread for this tutorial can be found over at the forums.


I don't have a picture of Ana Margarida yet, but I'll post one when I get one. She's my teacher and she's so awesome. One of the requirements of the scholarship from the Department of Education that I got was that I attend 140 hours of language classes this summer. The program I'm attending is only 80 hours long and begins in July. To complete the 140 hours requirement I arranged to take 60 hours of private lessons from the university. The university charges 27 euros an hour for the lessons which is far more than a normal person would ever want to pay, but the Department of Education agreed to pay it.
While I was worried about finding a place to live in Portugal and not being able to talk to people, the thing that worried me the most was spending 60 hours one on one with someone that I didn't like. When I first met Ana Margarida I was immediately put at ease. Not only is she kind and funny, but she is a fantastic language teacher. I know lots of language teachers and I would say that she's just as good as a Leigh Cherry or a Rob Martinsen which is really saying something. We do a lot of different activities to break up the day and it's a blast. We start out every class with me telling her what I did the previous day and asking questions about things that I didn't understand. Like, "Is it normal for my landlady's mom to do my laundry?" or, "My waiter didn't bring me my check for 40 minutes. What's up with that?" We usually end up chatting and laughing for the first 30 minutes of class before we get to any real work.
On the first day of class I was a little jetlagged and started to get really tired after three hours of class. She asked me if I wanted to end early and I did. I said, "I'm sorry, but five hours is just such a long time," and she said simply, "Yes it is." The next day I told her how relieved I was when I met her because she was so fun and such a good teacher. She confessed that she was relieved when she met me, too. You see, she didn't realize that I had a scholarship that was paying for the private lessons. She thought I was some uppity American that was willing to pay 27 euros an hour for private lessons and she was worried that I would complain if we didn't have five hours of perfect language instruction. She was incredibly relieved to learn that I didn't want to be there for five hours either and that I was just filling a requirement and we're both glad to have a laidback atmosphere. So since we have to be together for five hours a day, we're going to start sightseeing together next week and I'm super-pumped. I'm so glad she's my teacher.
I really enjoy how we just chat in Portuguese every day. I've shown her pictures of my family and she's shown me pictures of hers. On the second day of class we were talking about how I learned Spanish and I told her that I was a missionary in Mexico. She was surprised to learn I was Mormon because she thought Mormons lived in isolated communities without electricity and wore bonnets. She'd never met a Mormon before and didn't even know that there were Mormons in Portugal. She asked me what the Book of Mormon was and, in Portuguese, I explained how it was written during the same time as the Bible, but in the Americas, how it was written on gold paper, how Moroni buried it in the ground and Joseph Smith took it out of the ground and rewrote it in English (those are the actual words I used because I didn't know words like "plates" and "translate"). My vocabulary was really limited and it took so much effort to say it. Ana could tell that it had been difficult for me to explain everything in Portuguese and when I was finished we looked at each other and in unison we each took a deep breath and leaned back into our chairs.
Reflecting on this experience, I realized just how long it's been since I've told someone about the Book of Mormon and how much I miss doing that. And I left out so many important details like Christ's visit to the America's and the First Vision and just the fact that the Book of Mormon has changed my life. I've spent the last two years at BYU where I go most days without ever even seeing someone who isn't LDS. And now here I am, on the other side of the world, and my only friend is someone who's never met a Mormon before. I'm glad to be here and I'm glad to be in a place where I'm reminded that I don't live my religion just because everyone else is, but because I want to. I hope I get the opportunity to explain to Ana the important parts that I left out of the Book of Mormon because I didn't do the book justice. And I also want to explain the Joseph Smith story because if she's heard of Joseph Smith, she's probably just heard a lot of incorrect and negative information. As much as I love the safety of BYU, I love being able to teach people, too and I've missed that.
Here's a story that I had to write for class. I had to use some vocabulary words (try and guess which ones). And, of course, the original version is in Portuguese. As I read the story to Ana there were a few times that we were laughing so hard that I had to stop reading. That's how we spend most of class—laughing.
Once upon a time a girl wanted to be the Queen of Spain. The problem was that she was from Portugal so she couldn't be the Queen of Spain unless she married the Prince of Spain. She didn't like him very much because he was ugly and a bookworm. But she had a goal so it was all good. She went and talked with the Prince and he liked her and asked her to marry him. She thought and realized that he was so ugly that she couldn't marry him. But she didn't want to give up on her goal so she said to him, "Wait one minute," and she went outside. She went looking for a miracle. She found a beehive and asked, "Is there anyone there that can give me a miracle?" but no one responded. Then she ran into an anthill and asked the same question. An ant came out and said to her, "I can grant wishes." She replied, "Very good, magic ant. I want you to make me blind so that I never have to look at the Prince." And so it was and she never looked at the Prince again, but she married him and they lived happily ever after.
And lastly, here of some pictures of the places I studied today. Since it was Saturday I went all over the city and read for an hour and then went to a new place. The first picture is my failed attempt to stage a picture. I doubt I'm the first person to forget to set the timer on my camera.
is it normal for your landladys mother to do your laundry? you have me intrigued! love seeing your posts Ben keep them coming!
No, apparently it's pretty atypical. Ana thinks that she's probably just a nice old lady with nothing to do that wants to help out. I'm glad you like my posts, Anonymous.
Woo! Armpit shot! How racy of you! I love your blog posts too, Ben! Makes me miss having you around a little less.

Q: Mendix and Azure Ad B2C AuthRequest does not have assertion consumer service URL I try to get Azure AD B2C working on Mendix.
We have it working with the normal Azure AD this is quite easy because all is done in a gui.
For Azure AD B2C this is done in XML so a bit harder.
I have followed the next tutorials and this works all.
https://learn.microsoft.com/nl-nl/azure/active-directory-b2c/custom-policy-get-started
https://learn.microsoft.com/nl-nl/azure/active-directory-b2c/connect-with-saml-service-providers

Application registered corresponding to IssuerUri "https://xxxx.mendixcloud.com" in AuthRequest does not have assertion consumer service URL "https://xxx.mendixcloud.com/SSO/assertion" specified in its metadata.
In the SAMLApp1 Manifest, I put the Mendix Metadata URL. That is the only thing that I need to change so far I can find.
Can someone maybe help?

A: In the SAMLApp1 Manifest you must change the identifierURI to https://xxxx.mendixcloud.com (issuer in the SAML request from mendix).
The metadata at 'https://xxx.mendixcloud.com/SSO/assertion' must have an ACS URL within it.

Crazy Reasons People were Challenged to Duels
By Shane Cochrane
On a Saturday in 1899, in a place just outside of Paris, two duellists prepared to duel. This was a strange duel – for a number of reasons. The duellists were women. They were both stripped to the waist. And – stranger still – they were poised to fight to the death with scissors!
The women had discovered they were both 'seeing' the same local lothario, a man dubbed 'Handsome Polyt'. And they had met that day to fight for his hand – as it were. But just as his female suitors were about to fight, Polyt made an unsavoury comment. It was a comment that was so unsavoury that both of the women turned their scissors on him. He survived – but only just.
When we think of duels – sometimes referred to as "pistols for two and coffee for one" – we tend to think of 'gentlemen', armed with pistols or swords, prepared to die over a matter of honour. Fortunately, history is a lot stranger – and more interesting – than that.
For a start, it's a myth that only swords and pistols were used for duelling. In fact, duellists could be really creative when it came to devising ways to kill each other.
For example, in 1887, when two wealthy Mexican business men, Señor Victoria and Señor Pedrazo, fell out at a society ball, they chose to settle their dispute by being locked in a dark room with 100 tarantulas.
In this duel, they were to attack the spiders, not each other; and neither man could leave until all the spiders were dead. Some hours later, when the duelists still hadn't left the room, some of their friends smashed their way in. They found the two men lying on the floor, lifeless and surrounded by tarantulas.
A similar duel took place in Bengal in 1894, when two army officers fell out over an English girl. They were locked in a dark room with a vicious snake that had not been fed for several days. It wasn't long before one of the men felt the snake's fangs pierce the flesh of his thigh.
In 1904, just outside Paris, France, two elderly American gentlemen got into a heated debate about the upcoming American presidential election. One challenged the other to a duel, which was readily accepted.
However, as they were preparing to duel they rowed again, this time over the duelling weapons: one said they had agreed on pistols; the other that they had agreed on swords. They compromised by climbing into their cars and ramming each other!
Another myth is that duelling was about restoring a man's honour and reputation. In reality, those with too much money and too much time on their hands, duelled over all kinds of ridiculous things.
In 1847, a captain in the British Army challenged a general to a duel when the general refused to drink a toast with him. The general explained that he was under doctor's orders to avoid all stimulants, but the captain was having none of it and insisted that they duel.
On another occasion, at a British Army camp in India, an officer took the newspapers that had just arrived from England back to his private quarters. When a fellow officer reminded him that all of the men eagerly awaited the arrival of the newspapers from home and that the camp rules stated that they should be kept in the mess so that all the men could read them, it ended in a duel – and a death.
And if you think that it couldn't get more ridiculous than that, another man was killed in a duel triggered by an argument over the weight of a goose.
Possibly the biggest myth about duelling is that it was an exclusively male affair. Women duelled, too. And they often brought a little flair to duelling. For example, when the French actresses Marotte Beaupre and Catherine de Urlis duelled, they did so with swords on a Paris stage. And when two French society ladies, Melinte and Prelanie, fell out over a greyhound, they duelled with pistols on horseback.
Given just how crazy duelling was, it would be great to think that it was something that the Irish had avoided. Not so.
In fact, it was a duel in Ireland that ended in the most unexpected of legal consequences for a duellist.
In November 1898, Duncan McGregor, who was overseeing building work at Lough Swilly in Donegal, discovered that his 15-year-old daughter was seeing a soldier. He ordered her to end the relationship. She refused. And the fiery argument that ensued ended in a midnight duel between father and daughter.
By the time the police arrived, both were nursing gunshot wounds. And while both father and daughter were charged with shooting each other, McGregor was also charged with "keeping his daughter out in the cold all night."


An action research paper discusses actual research problems and practice out there. Like term papers and other types of research papers, it has the introduction, the background, the data collection methods, the importance for doing the research itself, and the reference section.
Action research paper is a categorization for research papers based on the function and the goal/nature of it. This is different from other categorizations such as the immigration research paper and holocaust research papers, just to mention a few.
In the case of immigration research papers and holocaust research papers, the classification is based on the subjects or matters being discussed. Notice, immigration research papers and holocaust research papers can be termed as action research papers if they discuss problems or issues related to immigration and holocaust.
As you may have noted, there are no much differences between term papers and research papers. In fact, term papers are types of research papers, just as dissertations and theses. Hence, you may hear immigration research papers and holocaust research papers being termed as term papers sometimes, if they discuss these issues (holocaust and immigration).
Sometimes, students with need for research papers submit requests or orders to online research or term paper writers for processing. For beginners, online research and term paper writers are those writing custom papers for clients, according to their instructions. Many students are already familiar with companies employing professional research and term paper writers, who can help them offload. In some cases, research and term paper writers are important when you are sick and the lecturer insists you must submit the paper.
Online writers process orders within deadline according to client's desire. However, it is important to emphasize getting a research and term paper writer who is a professional in the research field in question. This increases chances for getting a high quality paper.

How 2014 Became the Year I Returned to Gaming
So it turns out when your mother buys a new house that needs a lot of renovation, that you sort of lose track of time and every day turns into a mix between sleeping and painting. So. Much. Painting. What horrible person decided you had to paint stone 5,000 times to make sure it's mold and water proof?
So that's basically where I've been… covered in various types and colors of paint, and it's not even done yet. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy helping my mom out, but I think I will forever have claw hands.
To relax after days of hard(ish) labour, I've been playing a lot of video games. Be in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo 3DS or The Sims. At first I picked up my old Harvest Moon: Animal Parade game. Got hitched. Had a baby. Tended my crops. I love Harvest Moon to pieces because it's a farming simulations and it's charming and sweet and SO ADDICTIVE.
Arson is hilarious in Harmonica Town.
It's sort of been the theme this year actually. In March I moved flats in London with my flatmates and the first two or so weeks, we didn't have internet. So, what are three internet-obsessed gals to do? Turn on the XBox and pick a game. Occasionally we'd watch one play Skyrim or Grand Theft Auto and have a go at the latter ourselves. However, it wasn't until we decided to play Assassin's Creed II as a group that the gaming madness started. You can read about my accidental Assassin's Creed obsession here on Very Nerdy Curly, but I'm going to expand on that.
If you follow me on twitter, first, bless your heart, and secondly, you know I tweet a LOOOOT about Dragon Age. It's a fairly recent obsession, but it's completely taken over my life in the best way. But how did I fall heart-first into Thedas? Well…
See, I was really excited for Assassin's Creed Unity, so excited I bought myself a Playstation 4. That's excited. While the game was gorgeous and Arno was a stellar hero, the storyline was really… lame. I'm going to write out my thoughts in another post one of these days, but let's say I played a lot of Unity and then I just kinda stopped. I was annoyed because The French Revolution is my FAVORITE time period in history. It's fascinating, and Unisoft really wasted an amazing opportunity. The only real redeeming factor storyline wise was that you get to pair up with a young Napoleon Bonaparte at one point which made me happier than you can possibly image.
Napoleon and Arno
So yeah, that was exciting, but I found myself not really caring if I finished it, even using the crazy cool broadcast feature that allowed friends of mine to watch me play and comment as I accidentally ran up walls. The fact I wasn't head-over-heels in love with Unity was depressing in itself. It had the chance to be such a GREAT game, but it fell flat after how frankly majestic Assassin's Creed: Black Flag was. So what was I to do? A few of my friends had been excitedly anticipating Dragon Age: Inquisition, and despite not really knowing much about it, I bought it. I haven't been seen in polite society since.
Flatmates and I had started a Dragon Age: Origins game a few months back, but quickly realized it wasn't really a group activity game like Assassin's Creed could be. It was too personal. Each choice you made affected the story and get three indecisive people in a room together and you can imagine how much that failed. So, while I knew of Dragon Age, I wasn't that familiar with it. Turns out that was a good thing because I had no expectations and Inquisition stole my heart.
Again, I'm going to write a stupidly enthusiastic essay about why Dragon Age: Inquisition really is the best game of this year and why you NEED to play it, but I'll summarize here that it's an engaging, emotional story that is not only full of adventure and intrigue, but it's fun. Basically it starts with your character in chains because it turns out you're the sole survivor of an explosion at a meeting of 'the powers that be' that was meant to resolve the Mage-Templar war that's been raging since Dragon Age 2. You've got this crazy green glowing mark on your hand and it turns out you can close these Fade Rifts (the Fade is sort of like this limbo like spirit world that mages draw their power from and where demons hang out) that are sprouting up everywhere and overrunning the world with demons. Oh dearie me! After trying to close the big giant rift in the sky, you're labeled the Herald of Andraste (Thedas' answer to a Jesus-like figure if you will, except she was the wife of The Maker not the child, The Maker is God) and after a series of events then you're named The Inquisitor as you essentially rouse and craft an army, no, a froce, to go against big baddie Corypheus. That's a horribly simple summary, but there you go.
My first Inquisitor, Ottilie.
One of the joys I found in Inquisition was character customization and how you can really build a personality based on the answers you choose. What you choose directly affects the plot (ie side with Mages or Templars), and there's a LOT of really hard decisions, some involving lives of companions. You really build relationships with the other characters to, there's romance (Cullen and Dorian ftw btw), and it's so engaging that you cannot help but to continue to play long past your mind can comprehend what time of the night it is. Also, dragons. Lots of dragons.
All the Dragon Age games benefit from multiple playthroughs as well, and I'm well on my way to finishing my second. Instead of a freckly female mage Inquisitor, I've got a… freckly… male… mage… Inquisitor. Shusssh. I'm really original.
While Ottilie was good-hearted, Teo is a sarcastic little shit.
I've got a third playthrough already ready to go where I'll be going the Templar route instead of the Mage route. Which sort of goes against every fiber in my being, and that makes it particularly interesting. Inquisition really introduced me tot he world of Thedas and the massive amount of Dragon Age lore. I've since gone back and gotten the art book and all the novels and am really looking forward to diving in. I also grabbed Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 on Origins (getting use to playing on the computer was rough, ngl) and I'm pretty much, as Flatmate says, in "Dragon Age hell."
There's no getting out.
My Hawke from Dragon Age 2
These games are great. You get stupidly attached to the characters and there's such a world to explore (moreso in Origins and Inquisition than 2, but 2 takes place in a specific city so…). I can't recommend them enough and they've really just made gaming so incredibly enjoyable. I'm weird and going backwards. I'm playing the DLC for Dragon Age 2 now and once that's done I'll have finished the game. Then it's time for Origins, which I know will be a very enriching experience and I'll finally get all the references in 2 and Inquisition. I'd recommend going the opposite way of me, but I also understand if you can't wait to play Inquisition. I don't blame you at all.
But what'll be next? What happens when I've finished all the Dragon Age games and need something else? I'm taking suggestions, because I have no plans to stop gaming again any time soon.
And it turns out, after I tweeted the tweet at the top of this here post, that a lot of you have picked up the games I've rambled on about because I was having so much fun! And that's really the greatest thing. I'm glad to spread the wealth and watch you, too, descend into gaming madness. Welcome to the club.

Week in Focus – Week Commencing 16th July 2018
13 Jul 2018, 15:40 by Samuel Indyk
Monday: Chinese GDP, Trump/Putin Summit, US Retail Sales
Tuesday: NZ CPI, RBA Minutes, UK Labour Market, US Industrial Production, US TIC Flows, Fed Chair Powell's Semi-Annual Testimony
Wednesday: UK CPI, EZ CPI (Final), US Housing Starts & Building Permits
Thursday: Australian Labour Market, UK Retail Sales
Friday: Japanese CPI, Canadian CPI
Inflation, Inflation, Inflation
New Zealand, Japan, Canada, the Eurozone and the UK all release CPI reports throughout the week. Starting in New Zealand, CPI is expected to rebound to 1.6% Y/Y in Q2 from 1.1% in Q1 after the recent increase in oil prices and weaker currency lifts prices. "The near-term inflation outlook has firmed markedly as a result of higher oil prices, the recent fall in the NZD and incoming petrol taxes," writes ASB, "However, on the flip side, core inflation pressures remain relatively subdued and downside risks to the outlook have also increased over recent months."
Following Wednesday's Bank of Canada rate decision – where the central bank hiked rates by 25bps – markets will be keeping a close eye on Canadian CPI for clues on when the next rate move will come. BoC Governor Poloz refused to commit to any sort of guidance in his post decision press conference, saying that higher interest rates would be warranted but that they are not in a position to say by how much and at what pace. Headline CPI is expected to pick up to 2.5% Y/Y from 2.2% last month. "On a monthly basis, gasoline prices were actually down slightly (-2.0%), while some seasonal declines are also anticipated," said RBC. "On the other hand, a pick-up in food prices is expected, while meaningful reversals of May's declines for telephone services (-4.3% m/m) and auto prices (-1.5% m/m) would add some upside to our estimates," the bank adds.
Japanese CPI is expected to remain subdued at just 0.8% Y/Y, however, that would still be the highest rate in three months. The timelier Tokyo CPI rose to 0.7% Y/Y in June, better than the expected 0.6% and up from 0.5% in May, boding well for the national figure.
Eurozone CPI is expected to print at 2.0% Y/Y, unrevised from the flash estimate. The core figure is expected to be unrevised at 1.0% after easing from 1.1% the previous month. "Looking at the main components of euro area inflation, energy is expected to have the highest annual rate in June (8.0%, compared with 6.1% in May), followed by food, alcohol & tobacco (2.8%, compared with 2.5% in May), services (1.3%, compared with 1.6% in May) and non-energy industrial goods (0.4%, compared with 0.3% in May)," said Eurostat in the flash release.
The US-China trade spat took another step to becoming an all-out trade war last week when the Trump administration released a list of USD 200bln of Chinese imports that would face 10% tariffs, including fruit and vegetables, some white goods and clothing. The list should not have come as a surprise after Trump said they were preparing a list of goods should China respond, which they did. China said they were "shocked" by the latest escalation but China does not import enough from the US to match the tariffs. Sources suggested that countermeasures that China is taking include holding up licences for US companies, delaying approvals for M&A deals including US companies and ramping up checks and inspections of US goods. Markets will be hoping for signs of negotiations, however, Mnuchin said on Thursday that talks with China have broken down while China's Vice Commerce Minister said talks will be pointless if the US keeps chopping and changing all the time.
A theme that has lingered in the background amid the escalating trade tensions is what China might do with its large holdings of US treasuries. The research house SGH Macro Advisors have released reports suggesting that the PBoC and China will refrain from increasing their holdings of US treasuries, and on the contrary, will seek to reduce them "appropriately". Nevertheless, SGH say, that the PBoC has no intention of dumping large quantities of US treasuries suddenly. US TIC flow data is released on Tuesday and markets may be looking at the data for any signs that China has been reining in purchases amidst the trade tit-for-tat.
China publishes its Q2 GDP figures on Monday, with growth expected to slow slightly to 6.7% from 6.8% in Q1. The implementation of trade tariffs by the US and China is not expected to have had an impact on growth in Q2 but going forward, any escalation will likely weigh on GDP in the coming quarters. "The cumulative impact of the measures now on the table could potentially reduce China's overall economy by 0.5 percentage points," said Capital Economics, "but that the impact could deepen if the battle escalates."
Fed chair Powell will deliver his dual testimonies to the Senate Banking Committee (Tuesday) and House Financial Services Committee (Wednesday). Ahead of these appearances, Powell gave an interview this week where he sounded upbeat about the state of the economy, with unemployment low and inflation near target. Powell did, however, sound a note of caution with regards to the state of global trade, stating that there is a rising level of concern about the effects of changes in trade policy, any trade disputes or high tariffs will be a negative for the economy. Trade will likely be a key topic Powell will be grilled on, not only because of the economic implications, but also the political nature of the subject. On wages, Powell said that although the labour market is strong by any measure, low wage growth was a puzzle. There was another note of caution with regards to inflation/fiscal stimulus, warning that it would be challenging for the Fed to raise rates while the economy was weakening. Powell believes the fiscal stimulus will support the economy over the next three years. Powell, who has tended to avoid rocking the boat in his speeches since his appointment, will likely repeat these themes in his testimony, analysts believe, which will likely see him give a nod to the Fed's current forecast which look for two more rate hikes in 2018. His comments on the shape of the yield curve will be of note, given that the gap between 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields narrowed to just 25bps this week; the recent FOMC meeting saw staff present theories on the yield curve, apparently concerned that any inversion could be a signal of a recession.
RBA's meeting minutes from its July meeting will be released on Tuesday, and the minutes aren't expected to contain any significant new information. At the meeting, the Reserve Bank kept policy on hold, with the bank concerned about the state of international trade, subdued domestic wage growth, as well as tightening credit conditions within Australia. After the RBA remove the phrase that the next move is "likely up" in its June meeting minutes, some are now questioning the notion whether the next rate move is up. "For now, RBA comments suggest the hurdle to ease is still high, but if our 'credit tightening' deteriorates into a ' credit crunch' scenario then we think the RBA would likely cut," UBS opines.
UK Data
This week sees a data deluge from the UK with jobs, inflation and retail sales metrics all due for release. Starting off with the labour market report on Tuesday, as has been the case for a while now, focus will continue to fall on earnings metrics with headline average earnings excepted to remain at 2.5% with the ex-bonus reading set to slip to 2.7% from 2.8%. Interestingly, RBC highlight that given other reports such as the Bank of England's Agents Report, "the MPC appear to be looking at a wider range of information on wage developments than just the ONS earnings series". Wednesday will see the release of domestic inflation figures with headline Y/Y CPI expected to climb to 2.6% from 2.4% and core Y/Y to rise to 2.2% from 2.1%. Despite the weight placed on CPI figures in central bank policy formation, ING believe that any deviations will be unlikely to derail the BoE from lifting rates next month. ING back their view on a 25bps hike by the MPC by referencing recent solid economic data, something which could be emphasised by Thursday's retail sales numbers.
