About Brian Dumlao
After spending several years doing QA for games, I took the next logical step: critiquing them. Even though the Xbox One is my preferred weapon of choice, I'll play and review just about any game from any genre on any system.
PS3 Review - 'Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes'
by Brian Dumlao on Oct. 29, 2010 @ 3:30 a.m. PDT
Set during a tumultuous period of Japanese history, Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes follows players as they fight their way to the dramatic battle of Sekigahara. Players will take up the swords and spears of more than a dozen fierce samurai warriors in huge battles against hundreds of opponents in many exciting stages that lead up to the main event.
Like all successful games, Dynasty Warriors has its own set of copycat titles. Having one person with a melee weapon and facing off against hordes of soldiers has struck a chord with faithful gamers, and over the years and two console generations, publishers and developers have wanted to capture a piece of that audience. Back in the PlayStation 2 days, Capcom released its version of Japanese warriors with swords taking on battalions of enemies. Though they had better graphics and more flamboyant characters, the original Sengoku Basara (or Devil Kings as it was called in North America) never took off like Capcom had hoped, ensuring that the sequel stayed in Japan. With a new generation of consoles upon us, Capcom figured that the game was worthy of a second shot, and the result is the third game in the series, Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes. Whether the third time is the charm remains to be seen.
While the game has a large cast of characters, the story really focuses on two of them. It is the Sengoku era of feudal Japan after the defeat of Nobunaga Oda at the hands of Mitsuhide Akechi. Like Oda, Akechi sought to unify Japan, but once he succeeded, he set his sights on spreading Japanese rule to neighboring countries. Ieyasu Tokugawa, one of Akechi's allies, no longer supported the actions of Akechi and turned against him, defeating him in the process. With the land at war, Tokugawa wants to unify Japan once more under the banner of peace while Mitsunari Ishida, another follower of Akechi's, wants revenge on the man who killed his master.
Right off the bat, you can tell that this game doesn't take its history or universe too seriously. The garb for the main warriors is far from historically accurate, as it bleeds with style that would be ineffectual in the battlefield. You can expect plenty of ornate headdresses and armor that fails to cover everything — especially for some of the female fighters. You could also expect some modern styles being retrofitted for the time, such as Tokugawa's faux hoodie and ropes in place of dangling chains.
Some of the weaponry also borrows heavily from modern inventions. Rifles and pistols may be fine, but the shotguns, machine guns and rocket launchers that Magoichi Saica carries and Tadakatsu Honda's armor, which has a jetpack and drill spear, definitely ensure that the game is not historically accurate. Seeing Tokugawa ride away on Honda's back during a few cut scenes makes you feel like this is a manga-like approach to Japanese history. You'll also get a sense of how silly the characters can be; the cut scenes and dialogue refer to how charismatic a leader can be, how the clan leader has turned soldiers into food snobs, and how armies need to look proper before engaging in a fight. Intentional or not, it makes the situation more humorous than expected.
The gameplay is exactly what you'd expect from a game of its ilk. After selecting any one of your 16 warriors (10 of whom are unlockable through the course of the game), you select a battlefield and enter combat. From there, you take on hordes of soldiers, cutting them down as you march toward each enemy base, defeat the commander and take over the base. You then take on the warlord of the area, and the mission is complete. Your spoils can include new weapons, new accessories, items to forge new accessories to supplement your weapons and money. Depending on the level, you also get new allies for future battles, and all levels give you the chance to earn experience, which benefits your character with a larger health bar for the next fight. Between each level, you can change your equipment and accessories before choosing another level and starting the process again.
As far as gameplay is concerned, Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes does a few things right. The first is the use of multiple paths for each player's story. The small number of characters is a concern for players who are used to having a large cast of heroes. To remedy this, Capcom gave each warrior another battle path after the initial one has been completed. The different battle paths give players the opportunity to continue leveling their character along with the ability to obtain more items and weaponry for later, thus extending the experience of the overall game.
Another welcome change comes in the form of item sharing. The items and money collected during anyone's campaign is shared among all warriors; with the exception of your first level with the first chosen character, playing through the game becomes a much easier task. This also encourages you to create more items and collect more materials since you'll know that they'll be put to use after you finish a character's complete battle path.
Another change has to do with your kill count, which rewards you with a small health recovery boost for every 100 kills in battle. It's also important to take over bases, since doing so reduces the strength of the enemy warlord you're facing. It's a small bonus but encourages people to fight instead of simply making a beeline for the boss. Some stages not only ask you to take over the base but also force you to hit certain bases first to gain a tactical advantage later on. Other stages have you racing warlords from one spot to another to avoid difficult fights later on.
Along with the praise comes the scorn, and there are a few things that Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes does differently that aren't necessarily better than the competition. The most noticeable change is with the base commanders, who not only stay in their bases for the duration of the fight but also stand on a platform while being attacked. Once you figure out that this is how all of the base commanders are laid out, the levels devolve into races to reach the commander as quickly as possible to take over the base and get huge hit combos due to the explosion caused by the commander's defeat. Oddly enough, defeating the commander allows enemy soldiers to appear on the field, so you still have to clean up things at the base after you've overtaken it.
The overall difficulty isn't much of an issue since most fights are rarely difficult. The enemy foot soldiers run toward you and wait to be slaughtered, and a few of the higher-ranked officers do the same. Only the larger characters, like the ones throwing boulders and firing flaming arrows, seem ready to fight; even then, they miss their shots or take too long to attack, so they're only a little more problematic than the standard enemy. Warlords put up a decent fight but only because they are rarely surrounded by other attacking soldiers. Finally, while you may bring an ally to a battle, he isn't very effective during combat. You'll usually see him standing around and doing nothing while enemies rush you. It seems like the ally's sole duty is to be present so it looks like you aren't fighting entire armies on your own.
There is a multiplayer component, but it doesn't feel like the developers have pushed it as far as gamers would like to see it go. Split-screen co-op is available for every level, and every character is selectable. Stories don't change much when a second player is involved, but a few gameplay rules change. Both players gain items on the field, such as minerals and materials for item construction, but experience is solely based on the player's kill count. Sitting back and letting one player hog up all of the kills doesn't net you much experience for your fighter, if any. The experience is fun locally, but a lack of online play hurts this title, especially when you consider that the Wii-exclusive Samurai Warriors 3 boasts online play. This title feel like it's a little behind the curve in its genre.
The game's audio is well done and stays true to its slightly silly nature. As expected, the music consists of hard rock with guitar riffs, but it also branches into other genres. You'll hear sweeping orchestral scores in the menus and world map and, depending on which warlord you're fighting against, you'll hear the score change to Latin guitar, piano jazz, or something from a Looney Tunes cartoon short. Luckily, the score isn't overpowering, so you're never overwhelmed by it. The voices are rather well done, and the cast almost mirrors that of the voice cast used for the upcoming anime dub. What's interesting is the conversational banter that occurs during the boss fights. It feels odd to hear a warrior talk about his love for the forest or how both fighters agree to an alliance while still trying to tear each other to pieces, but it's strangely fitting when you think of the other odd things going on. The delivery of some lines falters every now and again with the foot soldiers, but it generally sounds good despite some of the cheesy lines. The effects emphasize punches and sword swipes while playing down others, such as your hero's footsteps.
Graphically, Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes fluctuates between doing some things better and some things worse than the competition. The character models look much more detailed, with some characters sporting actual stitching on their clothes. There are also better animations, especially with enemies, who try to crawl away when they're close to death instead of just fleeing. The environments look fine, and there's no sense of fog of war effects hiding the horizon. Particle effects, such as the trails left from special attacks and muzzle flash from gunfire, look good as well.
When compared to other games in the genre, it seems like the enemy count is reduced in this title. Most of the time, you'll be fighting against small platoons of enemies instead of large crowds. You'll only see large crowds appear when you take over a base, and even then, you can eliminate many before they become problematic. The issue of pop-up doesn't just occur with environmental details like the grass but also with enemies. You'll often see enemies fade into view when you're close to them, and while the fade-in doesn't give them a tactical advantage, it makes you wonder if these issues would have been mitigated if Capcom had used its full MT Framework engine instead of the "lite" version.
The controls remain easy to learn for anyone who's picking up the game for the first time. You have your basic weak and strong attacks, along with a special area-clearing move that requires a filled meter. You also gain charge attacks as you level up your character, but given the game's lower difficulty level, you'll rarely use the moves unless you merely want to see what they look like in action. While it looks like you can jump rather high, you can't jump very far. Your characters can run well and break out into a nice sprint for quite some time. The controls are responsive, and no one should have any trouble with them.
Most action fans who play Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes might feel the same way that they do about Dynasty Warriors, since the formula is practically the same. For people who have already distanced themselves from Koei's game series, this title will do nothing to change their minds about the genre. For fans of the formula, though, the decision of purchasing this game comes down to whether or not they can live with its trade-offs. For those who can live with the changes, the game provides a fun experience that will last for quite a while.

What is the most frequently asked question fielded by guitar teachers? Survey says... "What scale do I use?" There are hundreds of correct answers to that simple question. Some of those correct answers are also simple while some require a degree in higher math and rocket science to understand. Our mission as music students is to find the correct answers that click in our head and then proceed with our studies accordingly.
Ultimately though, a proficient improvisor is NEVER thinking about scales or modes when they are playing. An accomplished musician is playing by a creative intuition that is fueled by that knowledge but certainly not driven by that knowledge. Meanwhile, what scale do we use...?
Jon Finn will not only answer that question in a simple and very illuminating way, he'll also guide your own creative intuition skills with a technique he calls "Ear/Hand Coordination." It's all here in Modal Rock Soloing.
Jon organized his Modal Rock Soloing curriculum into two sections. In the first section, Modal Studies, Jon answers the 'what scales to play' question by presenting his modal system, which adapts beautifully to modern rock because the vast majority of modern rock progressions are based on modes.
Jon's presentation of modal harmony and how to apply modes in your soloing and improvisations is refreshingly clear and accessible. Jon will show you three ways to view modes: 1) a major scale starting and ending on any degree other than the first.; 2) a major scale with notes altered; and/or 3) a pentatonic scale with with notes added. One or all three of those approaches will indeed 'click' in your head.
As you explore the modes Jon will make a series of insightful observations about the mode's usage, color and characteristic notes. No greek. No rocket science. No nonsense. At last, you will know what scale to play in pretty much any musical situation.
In the second section, You'll play your way through six soloing studies during which Jon will demonstrate how to apply your newfound harmonic insight in a real-world musical context. It's here that you'll start to develop your Ear/Hand Coordination and creative intuition.
Each study features a rhythm track. Jon will first teach you how to analyze the track and its underlying progression to determine which scales and modes you can call on. Jon then demonstrates a solo based on that determination and harmonic approach. And then you'll playalong with Jon over that same track, trading measures and developing your ears.
All the rhythm parts are tabbed and notated and so you are certainly welcome to cop any of Jon's lines and add them to your own vocabulary. While there are certainly some sweet lines that might appeal to you, this course is more about developing your ability craft your own lines on the fly without thinking about it. You'll have all of the rhythm tracks to work with on your own to do just that.
So, what scales do you use? Survey says... jump on this course immediately!


Presence involves fully experiencing the moment. Being around nature always brings me back into the moment. This photo was taken in the Royal Victoria Park in Bath, England.
Are you struggling with mental chatter or struggling to keep focussed?
Do you feel like you are sitting in the passenger seat of your life and life is happening to you?
Do you feel like life keeps passing you by?
I know the feeling! Let's take back control of our lives now by being present!
Often the stress, anxiety, depression, sadness, anger or frustration (etc) that we feel is tied to our thoughts about our past or the plethora of possibilities for our future. We spend so much time agonising over these, distracting ourselves from our current circumstances. Other times we deal with these same thought patterns by simply not checking in at all with our bodies, our feelings and our thoughts and go about our lives like a pin ball mindlessly ricocheting from one experience to the next, without any charge over where we are heading and why.
As Eckhart Tolle explores in his book The Power of Now when we worry over past mistakes and what the future will hold, we forget to fully experience this very moment - we forget to BE PRESENT. Eckhart points out how... silly... this is when the only moment we ever have guaranteed is the very moment we are experiencing right now. Why wouldn't we direct all our attention and intention to this moment then?!
View from Villa Cimbrone in Ravello (Amalfi Coast, Italy).
You slow down, you become more aware and you act with more intention.
By becoming present, we are better able to listen to the cues our body gives us to let us know when something is right or wrong, when we need more or less of something and when something energises or drains us. We are able to align our body and mind with the intuitive, higher, peaceful, loving and intentional part of us.
Being present seems like a simple concept, however because of the speed of our lives, the amount of information & demands we have flying at us every second of the day and the years of programming our brains have had preoccupying our minds with thoughts about the future and past, being present is much harder than you might think.
So how do we 'be present'?
Practising presence is a great tool to connect you to your higher self, your purpose, your inspiration and to free you from years of unconscious programming and mental chatter. One of the most important aspects of being present, is building awareness.
One of the best known tools for practising presence is meditation. Meditation helps us improve our focus, build awareness and allows us to take back control of our minds from our mostly unconscious and automatic thought processes which as we discussed last week can easily take over our lives if we let them! We become more mindful and intentional through the practice of meditation.
There are many meditation techniques, but the most common ones will have you focus on either a movement, a mantra, the breath or a visualisation. Meditation techniques are not designed to distract you from your thoughts, in fact, it is a common misconception that you should not have any thoughts during meditation.
Meditation is all about driving a wedge of awareness between you and your thoughts. It is about becoming aware of and separating yourself from your thoughts. Your point of focus is simply an anchor to bring you back into the present moment should you lose your way.
Meditation you can do it anywhere, it doesn't just need to be at home. Just find somewhere where you can be quiet and won't be distracted. This photo was taken inside Kew Gardens, England.
Over the next week I want you to set aside 5 to 15 minutes every day where you can be in a quiet space, uninterrupted and relax. You can either do this on your own (instructions below) or feel free to use a meditation app such as Headspace (you get a free 10 day trial when you sign up), Insight Timer (which has hundreds of guided meditations available and you can connect with friends and strangers while you meditate) or by using youtube to watch a meditation video (there will be thousands of them).
For the exercise below, I have adopted a number of the techniques taught by Headspace which I highly recommend for people just starting out. Be warned however, finding a meditation practice that resonates with you, will be different for everyone. Please don't give up just because one practice does not resonate. Try as many as possible until you find one that works.
o Put on a timer for 5 to 15 minutes and either sit or lie in a position where you are comfortable to stay for the duration of the exercise without moving.
o Take 5 deep slow breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth, before closing your eyes.
o Continue breathing in and out, this time through your nose only and with your eyes shut.
o With your eyes closed and you continuing to breathe in and out through your nose, take a few moments to pay attention to the noises around you – what can you hear? Are there birds chirping, the sound of a lawn mower, the sound of your fridge vibrating or a clock ticking? Can you notice any smells? What is your mood today? How are you feeling? Do a full body scan from head to toe noticing any sensations in the body and notice where your body connects with the ground or chair.
o For the rest of the time you should simply sit, breathing in and out as you were through your nose, focusing on your breath with your eyes closed. During this time you will have thoughts come into your mind automatically. They will just "pop" in there. Instead of responding to a thought with more thoughts, I want you to simply notice the thought and watch as it passes by. Imagine the thought passing by and you placing it into the basket of a red hot air balloon and watch the thought as it sails away into the distance. Turn your attention back to your breathe, in and out.
o When your timer goes off, slowly open your eyes.
How do you feel now? My guess is you have a little more peace of mind than before the exercise.
The benefits of meditation have been demonstrated in plenty of studies, businesses have implemented mindfulness and meditation practices and spaces and even... the government (in some places like the UK) is now taking it seriously.
Meditation trains you to increase your awareness of all that is occurring in the present moment, including your thoughts and through that awareness allow your thoughts to pass without responding to them. You create distance and space from all the mental chatter by becoming aware of it. As Eckhart says, you become"the silent watcher of your thoughts". As you try meditation you will begin to see just how automatic our thinking is. Through meditating you build your muscle of awareness which further gives you the power to change your thoughts and feelings as we discussed last week in Action #2.
Many of the world's most successful people swear by a daily meditation practice. And in a world where everything is so instant, having a meditation practice which separates us from all of our automatic and mostly unconscious mental chatter is sooooo important! You do not need to be a victim to your thoughts!
Practising presence could be as simple as taking time to enjoy moments like these. Photo taken is of the island of Capri, Italy.
You can also try moving meditations, yoga, walking, running, Kundalini Yoga, sitting in nature or simply consciously taking time to be more mindful throughout your day-to-day activities. For example, by taking regular breaks to check in with your body, your thoughts, your surroundings and by being fully present in meetings or catch ups you have with friends, colleagues, family members or strangers. A wonderful book to read about your flow state is Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
do a 10-20 minute meditation practice every morning as soon as I wake up (right after I do my Five Minute JournalI).
for breathe work, I highly recommend Kundalini Yoga practices - check out some of these in Britt & Tara of High Vibe Livin's 7 day challenge or on Gabby Bernstein's website.
Need more help understanding awareness and presence? Take a look at this short video here.
Being present shifts your awareness to the now, rather than the past or future. Practising presence, through exercises like meditation, will increase your awareness and provide some separation between the mind and your thoughts. As we discussed last week, the benefits of becoming aware of your thoughts and emotions is that it gives you the power to completely change your reality.
This is the path to living a life of greater purpose and fulfillment and to bringing more love, peace, joy and inspiration into your life. Do yourself a favour and give yourself this time and love!
So lovely people, please join me this week in setting aside 5-15 minutes each day to incorporate a daily meditation (like the one I have set out above) so that you can start taking back control of your mind, your body and your beautiful life! Take this time and watch yourself reap the benefits!
If you have any friends who would resonate with this article or who might like to join you this week in trying meditation, please share this article with them.
Join me next week for Action #4 which is all about self-love. Make sure you don't miss out by subscribing to receive my weekly newsletter below.


(a) The new political frontiers of the Reich in the east will, generally speaking, comprise the former area of German settlement, and in addition those areas which have special value for military purposes, or for war economy, or for communications.

(b) The present demarcation line (Pisia-Narew-Vistula-San) will be constantly strengthened and built up as a line of military security towards the east. The garrisons necessary for this purpose will eventually be moved forward beyond the political frontier of the Reich.
I likewise request that proposals for the details of the defence line be submitted to me through the High Command Of The Armed Forces.
(c) The line laid down in our Treaty Of Frontier Regulation And Friendship with Russia, which will be defined in detail in an additional Protocol to the Treaty, is to be regarded as the limit of the German sphere of influence in relation to Russia.
(d) The political organisation of the area between this line and the new political frontier of the German Reich will be decided by me.
2. For the time being, the whole area of the former Polish State up to the line established by our Treaty Of Frontier Regulation And Friendship, including the Suwalki salient, will be an area of Military Government under Commander In Chief Army.
(a) The pacification of territory to be occupied. The time will be settled within the framework of the agreements reached in Moscow.

Merchant ships and troopships definitely established as being hostile may be attacked without warning.
This also applies to ships sailing without lights in waters round England.
Merchantmen which use their radio transmitters after being stopped will be fired upon.
Attacks on passenger ships, or large ships which obviously carry considerable numbers of passengers in addition to cargo, are still forbidden.

In the past I setup some new Pacemaker clustered nodes with a fresh Debian Stretch installation. I followed our standard installation guide, created also shared replicated DRBD storage, but whenever I tried to mount the ext4 storage DRBD detached the disks on both node sides with I/O errors. After recreating it, using other storage volumes and testing my ProLiant hardware (whop I thought it had got a defect..) it still occurs, but somewhere in the middle of testing, a quicker setup without LVM it worked fine, hum..
This means, if you use the combination of VMware-Product -> Debian Stretch -> local Storage -> DRBD -> LVM -> ext4 you will be affected by this bug. This happens, because VMware always publishs the information, that the guest is able to support the "WRITE SAME" feature, which is wrong. Since the DRBD version, which is also shipped with Stretch, DRBD now also supports WRITE SAME, so it tries to use this feature, but this fails then.

Spartans Tie North Dakota To Cap Incredible Road Weekend
Photo: Siobhan Findlay/Impact

Before Friday night, if you had told anyone that Michigan State (4-6-1) would walk away from Grand Forks with a win and a tie against the No. 5 team in America, you would have been admitted to the psychiatric ward.
Regardless, Michigan State achieved just that.
Following up on their 4-3 victory over North Dakota last night, the Spartans tied the Fighting Hawks 2-2 before scoring in the three-on-three overtime period.
Due to the nature of overtime in the NCAA, the Spartan goal doesn't count officially,but in the eyes of the Spartans and their fans you might as well chalk this one up as a win.
Unlike last night, MSU got on the board first in the opening period as senior Thomas Ebbing struck a shorthanded tally past UND goaltender Cam Johnson. The Fighting Hawks would respond though with freshman Zach Yon tying the score less than a minute later.
At the 12:25 mark of the period, junior Tucker Poolman notched his fourth goal of the season, this one on the power play, to make it 2-1 Fighting Hawks after one.
Michigan State responded well though as Spartan freshman Patrick Khodorenko evened the game up at two with his second of the season at the 5:41 mark of the second period.
The two teams went back and forth for the last 35 minutes of play. North Dakota launched over 22 shots towards Ed Minney in the final 40 minutes. But the junior netminder was up to the challenge, stopping all of them. MSU also had chances to break the deadlock but could not solve Johnson.
By the end of regulation, the score was tied 2-2 and MSU had been outshot 33-17.
In the first overtime the Spartans outshot North Dakota 2-1 but could not secure the win.
With the game ending in an official tie, the two teams opted to play a three-on-three overtime. North Dakota is a member of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference, who uses the three-on-three format.
Jerad Rosburg, whose two goals sparked MSU to a victory on Friday, netted the OT winner.
While the game goes into the record books as a tie, this weekend will go down as a huge momentum shift for the Spartans and perhaps a major turning point going into conference play.
To go on the road to the No. 5 team in the nation and come away with a win and a tie is a major accomplishment for this program under sixth-year head coach Tom Anastos. Ed Minney has now started the last four games and is 2-1-1 in that span, it is likely that he has solidified his starting role moving forward. While MSU may not be ranked next week, it would be criminal for them not to receive votes.
And on a day when Spartan fans breathe a sigh of relief that their football season is finally over, they can now get excited for hockey again as the Spartans appear to be on the rise.

Dining rooms can do a lot of things... blend in, serve as transitions, or have a personality all their own. And nothing sets the tone of a dining room like the right wall color!
Should you go bold with blue? Yes, blue—normally a relaxing color—is considered bold when it comes to dining rooms, as it is so rarely used. What about an earthy brown, like the designer paint Ralph Lauren Sisal? Reds and oranges are lively and promote sociability. Browse this gallery of colors of nationally available paints to find what might be the next new color for your dining space.
A blue dining room? Conventional wisdom doesn't exactly say, "No," but rather, "Be careful, if you do." It's often said that if you want to lose weight, put some blue food on your plate. The same might be true for a blue room that's too over the top—but when kept light and airy, blue can be an especially refreshing choice.
This color emphasizes the clean white of Ralph Lauren Home's classic Picket Fence White. Offsetting the wall brightness is the darker door (in the color Walnut) and the even darker trim (in Warwick Lodge).
Can there be too much brown in a dining room? Not so with these colors from Dutch Boy. These tones incorporate tints of bronze to make for a more lively color scheme. It doesn't hurt to have the lighter-colored crown molding to add a visual "stop" for the verticals.
Red is a stately, regal color. With Benjamin Moore's dustier muted red, Raisin Torte, the color is authoritative without being overbearing. Painting the wainscot in Jackson Tan with White Dove accents further lightens the mood.
The effect was muted and graceful in the red dining room from Benjamin Moore. Not so with this paint from Glidden! This is full-on red. It's called Red Delicious, and it's sure to stimulate appetites and conversation alike.
Note how everything in the room—chairs, table, lilies, and flooring—pop out in contrast to the vibrant red.
Tawny is the inspiration for this dining room color. Defined by Webster's Dictionary as "a dark yellowish or dull yellowish-brown color," tawny is a nice brown for your dining room that has just enough warmth to keep it lively and interesting.
How blue can you go? Apparently, very blue. Even though blue is a dicey proposition as a dining room paint color, Mosaic Tiles from Dutch Boy brings it down to its darkest level. The splash of Ultra White on the trim helps to freshen up the paint design.
Glidden whipped up a palatable pumpkin-y color that you can live with all throughout the year. It's a muted orange called Pumpkin Patch that injects instant cheer in your dining room.
Not a fan of yellow paint? Well, this is one you just might like: Dusty Gold from Glidden. It's yellow with rich gold touches added for a more classic look.
When you paint your dining room red, consider an option like this: a red that's not a lot of red. Red is so strong that even limited areas can carry the load. Here, the walls are mainly Valspar Craft White. Then, Calico's red in the upper third of the dining room wall—and topped by another line of Craft White, this time in the form of crown molding—completes the picture.
Who Says Ceilings Have to Be White?
While the default paint option of most dining room ceilings is white, why choose what everyone else has? This ceiling paint—Chestertown Bluff—is the true star of the room with the neutral Delaware Putty on the walls hanging back, both paints by Benjamin Moore.
Now, is this or is this not a vibrant and electric dining room paint color? Admittedly, it takes guts to put Dutch Boy's Eclectic Plum on your dining room walls—but who ever said that this room had to be a shrinking violet?
Devoe Paints: the Freshmaker? Well, minty-green is what we feel when we look at this paint scheme. It's called Elysian Fields, and while we don't find it the most appetizing color—it feels a bit medicinal—this might be the one for the homeowner looking for a green that isn't imposing.
The default coordinating color is white, and this one is called White on White.
It's funny the way a mere coat of latex just a fraction of a millimeter thick can entirely dress up a room. Yes, that's the power of room paint. The house here is a regular suburban home, but with the addition of this deep-tan color (Beacon Hill by Devoe) in the dining room, along with coordinating black furniture with white upholstery and the white marble table with the black base... well, now it's a lot more fancy.
Gray and white is certainly a popular road for dining room color designs, but you can hardly go wrong with it if you're looking to introduce a stately, elegant feeling to the room.
From California Paints, this is Wells Gray with Modern White. You may even notice a bit of orange peeking out from the adjoining room (Bronzed Plate)!
In contrast to our earlier (also California Paints) photo of a gray and white dining room, this one flips the colors around. Now, gray (Quincy Granite) is the dominant field color, with their Sensible White being used for ceiling and crown molding.
There's nothing shy about this paint scheme. The wall color (Highlight Gold from California Paints) first captures your attention, then your eye immediately zooms upward to the fantastically sock-you-in-the-face orange of the ceiling!

What is the mortality rate of heart disease in Australia?
Deaths. In 2018, CHD was the leading single cause of death in Australia, accounting for 17,500 deaths as the underlying cause of death. This represents 11% of all deaths, and 42% of cardiovascular deaths. Forty-two per cent (7,300) of CHD deaths resulted from a heart attack (AIHW 2019d).
Is heart disease considered high risk for Covid?
Having heart conditions such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies, and possibly high blood pressure (hypertension) can make you more likely to get very sick from COVID-19.
How does COVID affect heart failure?
The coronavirus may infect and damage the heart's muscle tissue directly, as is possible with other viral infections, including some strains of the flu. The heart may also become damaged and inflamed indirectly by the body's own immune system response.
Who is at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19?
People of any age can catch COVID-19 . But it most commonly affects middle-aged and older adults. The risk of developing dangerous symptoms increases with age, with those who are age 85 and older are at the highest risk of serious symptoms.
Does heart disease weaken the immune system?
Someone with an underlying heart issue also might have a less robust immune system. People's immune systems weaken as they age, Vardeny said. And "in those with chronic medical conditions, the body's immune response is not as strong a response when exposed to viruses."
What is meant by burden of disease?
Definition. The term burden of disease generally describes the total, cumulative consequences of a defined disease or a range of harmful diseases with respect to disabilities in a community. These consequences include health, social aspects, and costs to society.
What is a high mortality rate?
noun. the relative frequency of deaths in a specific population during a specified time, often cited as the percentage of human deaths during a public health crisis, or of wildlife deaths due to environmental perils: Patients over the age of 80 had the highest mortality rate during the last flu season.

In the event the experience is fine, individuals will probably return to that store to conduct company again. Short-term staffing encounters usually ask that you offer references, educational qualifications and information about your work history.
For many, it requires a lot of experience from the retail arena until you can perform at your best. Because you don't have work experience, you will have to demonstrate your capability to succeed in work via your performance at the meeting. From time to time, you may not really have the necessary work experiences which are related with the job that you're applying for. Contain a few related work experiences and the way you excelled in them.


A world leading integrated oil and gas company had issues with one of their motor-oil lines near Milano. The filled plastic containers, going from the labeler to the packaging machine, needed to be buffered as the packer suffered from the occasional micro stop, resulting in an overflow of products at the infeed.
As is usually the case when adding a buffering functionality to an existing line there was only a limited amount of space; essentially this meant that the solution had to go up vertically to get the needed accumulation capacity.
To solve this AmbaFlex created a unique solution by combining an AccuVeyor® AVs with a specially designed belt for pressure-type accumulation, essentially turning into an AccuVeyor® AVp from our CDS (Clever Designed Solutions) programme. The plastic containers run from the labeler into the accumulator's outer track, run upwards and spiral back down on the inner track before continuing to the packer.
To regulate the infeed of the packer the belt of the AVs is fitted with a mix of high and low friction slats, giving the belt enough friction to move the products smoothly and enough slip to accumulate without damaging them.
The broad scope of AmbaFlex solutions means they have an answer for every obstacle. In this particular case, a space-efficient accumulator combined with a smart pressure type belt resolved all the problems coming from the micro-stops, decreasing downtime and maximizing the overall output.
One more proof of AmbaFlex's leading position in Spiral Conveyor Solutions!

Tag: Trump Lafayette Square
Military Ranks Reject Trump's Authoritarian Vision
There's trouble in Bunkerville: It's becoming evident that not every military person in Donald Trump's sphere is willing to support Trump's attempts at authoritarianism. Some Trump allies, as well as active-duty troops, are denouncing Trump's attempts to use the military for partisan purposes, and are rejecting his use of military force against fellow Americans.
Since he became president, Trump has fantasized about big military parades and demonstrations in his honor, with tanks and weapons and armor. Despite never having served, Trump clearly imagines himself as a generalissimo.
On Monday, Trump's dreams came true. In Lafayette Square, a public park in front of the White House, demonstrators were peacefully protesting police brutality and racism, and the death in police custody of George Floyd, a black man. About 30 minutes before curfew, MPs moved in on the crowd, forcefully and violently removing them from the area. They were making way for Trump, so that he could walk to St. John's church and wield a Bible for a photo op.
MPs who were policing the area deployed tear gas, shot rubber bullets, hurled flash bang grenades, and shoved demonstrators to clear the area as if the demonstrators were causing an insurrection instead of being within their constitutional rights to peacefully assemble and demonstrate.
Later, standing in front of St. John's church, Trump gave some remarks in which he threatened to use the Insurrection Act of 1807 to deploy active-duty U.S. military to states if they refrained from calling out the National Guard to help manage crowds of demonstrators.
Since then, not only have a number of states said "No thanks" to using active-duty military troops against the people in their states, a number of military and former military officials have condemned Trump's misuse of force and active duty military troops to "dominate" (Trump's term) protesters.
Mark Esper Rejects Use of Insurrection Act
On Wednesday, Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper distanced himself from Trump's call for military action and his threat to invoke the Insurrection Act, saying that using active-duty forces to quell unrest in the country is not currently necessary.
"The option to use active-duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort, and only in the most urgent and dire of situations. We are not in one of those situations now," Esper told reporters at a Pentagon briefing. "I do not support invoking the Insurrection Act."
In response to the violent military actions in Lafayette Park on Monday, though he had then referred to American cities as a "battle space" at the time, Esper said, "I was not aware of law enforcement's plans for the park. I was not briefed on them, nor should I expect to be. But they had taken what action I assume they felt was necessary, given what they faced."
Esper also said that he had not known in advance that he would be accompanying Trump to St. John's church for Trump's photo op.
James Mattis Denounces Abuse of Power
Just hours later, Trump's former defense secretary, James Mattis, denounced Trump for "working to divide the country." In an essay published in The Atlantic, Mattis accuses Trump of abuse of power, and of ordering U.S. military forces to violate Americans' constitutional rights.
"We know that we are better than the abuse of executive authority that we witnessed in Lafayette Square," Mattis said. "We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution."
"Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us," Mattis wrote.
"We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children."
Mattis also wrote, "We must reject any thinking of our cities as a 'battle space' that our uniformed military is called upon to 'dominate.'"
Senator Lisa Murkowski Struggles with Supporting Trump
Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) praised Mattis' remarks, and said that she is "struggling with her support for her fellow Republican president" in November, according to The Washington Post.
"When I saw General Mattis' comments yesterday I felt like perhaps we are getting to a point where we can be more honest with the concerns that we might hold internally and have the courage of our own convictions to speak up," Murkowksi said.
General John Allen Accuses Trump of Projecting Abject Power
Four-star General John Allen, who led the fight against ISIS, accused Trump of pushing for the "end of American democracy."
In an op-ed in Foreign Policy, Allen wrote, "To even the casual observer, Monday was awful for the United States and its democracy. The president's speech was calculated to project his abject and arbitrary power, but he failed to project any of the higher emotions or leadership desperately needed in every quarter of this nation during this dire moment."
U.S. Army Addresses Army Community
The U.S. Army itself has made clear that it does not align with Trump's calls for the use of force. In a letter titled, "A Message to the Army Community about Civil Unrest," which was distributed to "Soldiers, Civilians, Family members and Soldiers for Life," Sgt. Major Michael A. Grinston, General James C. McConville, and Secretary of the Army Ryan D. McCarthy wrote, "Every Soldier and Department of the Army Civilian swears an oath to support and defend the Constitution. That includes the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. We will continue to support and defend those rights, and we will continue to protect Americans, whether from enemies of the United States overseas, from COVID-19 at home, or from violence in our communities that threatens to drown out the voices begging us to listen."
Active-Duty Soldiers Refuse or Plan to Refuse to Deploy
An increasing number of active-duty National Guard and GIs are refusing to deploy to American cities that are protesting police-perpetrated killings. According to veterans' and GI organizations, a number of GIs are saying that they don't want to comply or participate in the repression of their fellow Americans. They also point out that they have not been properly trained in de-escalation tactics or riot response on domestic soil.
According to Candice Bernd, senior editor and staff reporter at Truthout, "..It's not the legality of the president's and governors' deployment orders that is weighing on Guardspersons and active-duty soldiers; it's the potential moral injury of brutalizing their own communities."
An anonymous National Guardsman in a Pennsylvania infantry that has not yet been ordered to deploy, says he plans to refuse, if ordered, and is currently consulting an attorney about his options.
"I can't do it. Even looking at my uniform is making me feel sick that I'm associated with this, especially after (the National Guard unit) shot that man who owned that barbecue shop (in Louisville, Kentucky)," he said."
He also said that his fellow soldiers "really need to sit down and think about what they're willing to do for an oath that means trampling on their neighbors."
In response to these GIs' concerns, the GI Rights Network is organizing emergency conscientious objector packets.
"Once they have (the conscientious objector packet) in, they should have the right to say that they can turn up at their mobilization point, but they cannot carry a weapon," Says Siri Margerin, a counselor with the GI Rights Hotline.
It's not clear whether GIs who choose to conscientiously object would still face disciplinary action. "We don't know, because this hasn't happened in a very long time, and it has never happened with a president like we have right now," said Margerin.
Our current president seeks (and believes he has) executive powers that extend far beyond what the U.S. Constitution allows. Donald J. Trump is exactly the type of president our founding fathers wanted to protect Americans from when they drafted the Constitution.
As Trump continues to distort his interpretation of U.S. laws (or ignore them altogether) to further his authoritarian aspirations, our only hope is that more and more Americans follow the military's unprecedented actions and reject Trump's lawlessness.

Q: Notepad++ wild card use with find and replace I have a 12-digit MAC address such as 5C838F9FE398 which I need to replace with 5C83.8F9F.E398
Since I have to this for more than 200 MAC addresses I thought to use Notepad++ to save time. Is it possible to do it quickly with Notepad++?

A: Yes, this is possible.
Assuming the list of macaddresses look like this:
5C838F9FE398
5C838F9FE398
5C838F9FE398
5C838F9FE398

(where each is unique of course)
You can find/replace using regex.
Open the Find/Replace dialog by pressing CTRL+H.
In the Find What field, enter: ^(.{4})(.{4})(.{4})
In the Replace with field, enter: $1.$2.$3
At the bottom in the Search Mode group, select Regular Expression.
Now hit Replace All.

Explaining the Regex:

^          Only match if this happens at the beginning of a line
  (        Start of group 1 (to replace with $1)
    .{4}   Any character, 4 times
  )        End of group 1
  (        Same as above for group 2
    .{4}
  )
  (        Same as above for group 3
    .{4}
  )

Replacing is setup as:
 $1    These are the first 4 values found
 .     place a period next
 $2    These are the second 4 values found
 .     place a period next
 $3    These are the third 4 values found.

Anything after this string is completely ignored, and will remain present.
So  5C838F9FE398 test becomes 5C83.8F9F.E398 test

Five Best Pilots Watches Under 2K to Buy in 2019
Sam Kessler
© Oris
It seems like watchmakers hate to keep their feet on the ground as, other than diving watches, the most popular type of timepiece flooding the market is that dedicated to aviation: the pilots watch. While Cartier may have created the first and others have since hammered out a flight timing blueprint, there's nary a brand without a hand in the field.
However, while IWC, Bremont and now even Blancpain have their own aviation watches, you don't need to splash out to quite that extend to snag your own high-flying timepiece. Price does not have to clip your horological wings and here are the five watches to prove it.
Laco Pilot Watch Original Munster, £945
When these guys say 'original' they mean it; Laco is one of the progenitors of the modern pilots watch. The IWC Big Pilot has a hell of a lot to thank them for, as you can see clearly from the Munster. It has the same dial layout down to the iron sights at 12 o'clock; it has a similar, if more angular, oversized crown and even the tough, practical strap is pure heritage aviation. The difference? This piece is just $1,190 – or in decent money, roughly £945. If you're feeling really extravagant you can even upgrade the movement for another $150. Value for money doesn't even come into it. Available at: laco-watches.com
Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date Auto, £830
When it comes to good value military watches, Hamilton should always be your first port of call. Or airfield, when it comes to this piece. The Khaki Aviation is essentially the aeronautical division to the Khaki Field's infantry and is just as no-nonsense. Granted this one has the added frills of a day and date, but the core is the same. This is the kind of watch that can survive a plane crash, brush itself off and head to the nearest RAF clubhouse. Like all Hamiltons, it's also less than a yearly membership to said club. Available at: hamiltonwatch.com
Oris Big Crown Propilot 40th Squadron Limited Edition, £1,700
At 45mm this is a big piece of kit but, unlike many on this list, is a much more modern watch than your usual retro pilots. There's good reason for that; this version of Oris' Propilot was developed hand-in-hand with the Belgian Air Force's 40th Squadron Heli, their iconic rescue team. There are a few touches alluding to that relationship such as the flashes of red taken from the team's colours, but you don't need to know that. The watch's stealth style is cool enough to stand by itself. Available at: oris.ch
Sinn 856 S UTC, £1,860
A serious name for a serious watch, if the various Big Pilots of the world belong in WWII fighters, this is the watch for a stealth bomber. Hell, with its proprietary, ultra-hard black coating it could probably survive being on the receiving end of one. In fact it would take a lot to stop the 856 S UTC ticking; it even has resistance to magnetic forces up to 80,000 A/m (FYI that's a lot), as well as low pressure. That it's an intensely cool, stealthy piece is just a happy side-effect – as it the exceptional price tag. Available at: sinn.de
Stowa Flieger Classic 36, £930
There's a slight tendency for pilots pieces, like most tool watches, to favour sizes that you'd imagine make taking off hard. Not so STOWA. Despite their Flieger Classic 36 staying close to the tried and true blueprint of a military pilots, it's 36mm size is much the opposite. From the stainless steel case to the workhorse ETA movement, it's a solid, reliable watch. As a nice little touch, you can also choose if you want a logo or date window on the dial. In fact, STOWA offer a good range of customisation, all for a very attractive price tag. Available at: stowa.de

Roger Hiorns | Nekyia
in the main
January 19 – March 9, 2019
Opening January 19, 5 - 7 pm
Annet Gelink Gallery is proud to present a series of works by Roger Hiorns (1975, Birmingham, GB) in The Bakery.
On view are several 'wall works' made of various materials such as bronze, painted plaster, aluminium, wood and plastic.
Hiorns is never too pronounced about the origin of his work - often challenging the audience but also questioning himself. In ancient Greek culture and literature, a 'Nekyia' is a 'right by which ghosts were called up and questioned about the future' but it's also a concept used by philosopher C.G. Jung as part of his analytical psychology. For him the 'Nekyia' represents the introversion of the conscious mind into the deeper layers of the unconscious – or more simply put; a journey of restoration for the human psyche.
Throughout his practice Hiorns has been reconsidering the physical form and the attributes of 'Being'. He sees his human research as a constant and ongoing theme in his work. His unique figurative exploration is in illustrating or abstracting the body and with it, its de-ego-isation, subtly looking for new models of representation. By not rendering the body in the literal sense, within a figurative art tradition. The conditions of Being, its essence, the conditions of a life in the process of being lived, is of course, a complicated entity, there are no set conditions of analysis to successfully pin down Being.
In the works on view in The Bakery the ideas of sex and sexuality are also strongly present and for Hiorns, the process of Nekyia and the process of sex can be aligned.
As Hiorns says: "The body, it sets new challenges of how it it can be represented, a challenge that is moveable and porous. Within the progressive directions of sex, through a direct action of enacted upon sexuality, a new brand of idealism emerges, a movement forward towards the future."
Roger Hiorns studied at Goldsmiths College in London. Some of solo exhibitions include Ikon Gallery, Birmingham (2017), Annet Gelink Gallery, Amsterdam (2016), Kunsthaus Pasquart in collaboration with Rudolfinum Gallery, Prague (2015), Corvi-Mora, London, (2015), Corvi-Mora, London, (2015), Luhring Augustine, New York (2014), The Hepworth Wakefield, Wakefield, (2013), MIMA, Middlesbrough (2012), Aspen Art Museum, Aspen (2010), The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago (2010), the Tate Britain, London (2010), the Camden Arts Centre, London (2007) and the UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2003).
In 2009 he was nominated for the Turner Prize with his installation 'Seizure', commissioned by Artangel. Hiorns also participated in several group exhibitions amongst others at the Hayward Gallery, London (2015), Colombus Museum of Art in Ohio, Ohio (2014), Garage Center for Contemporary Culture, Moscow (2014), Taipei Biennial, Taipei (2014), The National Gallery, London (2014), 55th Venice Biennale, Venice (2013), Marrakech Biennale 4th Biennale, Marrakech (2012) CAPC Musée d'Art Contemporain, Bordeaux (2011) and many other.

'Strike 1' about to echo in empty ballparks
As the Monitor went to press, a baseball players' strike threatened to turn major league ballparks into ghost towns, beginning this weekend. Though the game's midseason walkout has loomed as a strong possibility for some time, a judge's decision brought the whole labor-management dispute to a head.
US District Court Judge Henry Werker dismissed a petition by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which sought an injunction delaying the owners' new compensation plan until next season.
Under an agreement reached last week, the players, whose original strike deadline was May 29, must now go on strike almost immediately or relinquish their right to do so.
The Major League Baseball Players Association succeeded in getting the original deadline extended when the owners refused to open their books. The NLRB sided with the players' contention that the free-agency issue could not be adequately sorted out without examining the owners' financial records.
The players argue that the owners have not bargained in good faith by keeping their books closed. Judge Werker, however, indicated the NLRB failed to show that the owners raised the issue at the bargaining table of their abi lity to pay higher salaries caused by free agency.
