The juxtaposition of two editorials in a mainstream broadsheet makes interesting reading. The one argues that Gordon Brown's advocacy of a tax on global financial transactions, the so called Tobin tax, suggests that the British government has, at long last, given up its slavish adherence to 'the ideology that believes in deregulated, untaxed, ever-expanding global capital markets as an end in themselves'. The other argues that 'China must be held to account for its political repression'. The connection between these two lies deep within the aforementioned ideology.
When the Austrian school of twentieth century neo-classical economists came to prominence, the world appeared to be divided between two distinct ideologies, free market capitalism and centrally planned socialism. The free market theoreticians, most prominent of whom were Ludwig von Mises, F A Hayek and Milton Friedman, argued that this simple dichotomy, which could be expressed in various terms: free market forces or central planning, capitalism or communism, individualism or collectivism, freedom or serfdom, represented the only alternatives. For them, as discussed in 'The Rise and Fall of Management',there was no possibility of a third way. When Hayek was writing 'The Road to Serfdom' during the Second World War, he feared the world was moving towards a socialist totalitarian future. He argued that any step in that direction, no matter how small, could only end in a full blown centrally planned, socialist state. In a world which seemed to be dominated by Hitler and Stalin this may not have been unreasonable.
But things have changed since those days. Hitler was defeated, the erstwhile fascist regimes of Europe and South America disappeared and communism spectacularly failed. The immediate threat of totalitarian regimes in advanced economies has somewhat receded, to be replaced, some would argue, by the threat of being controlled and manipulated by privately owned global corporations, especially those City organisations concerned not with the creation of wealth but the manipulation of its ownership.
Despite these radical changes to the world, the free market ideology has remained largely intact. The prime source of this intransigence seems to lie in America, despite the euphoria in some quarters at Obama's election. His struggle for a universal health provision is denounced by the now mainstream Republican right as a sure sign of his communist intent. In Britain the government's fear of the nationalisation label is born of the same neurosis.
Even the ideology's practical failure, amply demonstrated by the current crisis, has not so far resulted in any serious challenge. Till now. The Tobin tax, which has widespread support in Europe, is the first significant sign that the City may not achieve its self-interested desire for a return to 'business as usual'.
The editorial on China highlights another flaw in the free market ideology. It has to be acknowledged that China is a highly successful competitor in today's deregulated markets. But the Chinese population does not enjoy the freedom of the West, nor rule by an independently administered legal system. But nor does China appear headed for the economic failure free marketers would predict. The traditional socialist model of a centrally planned economy has been long replaced by powers granted to individual, and in many cases privately owned, corporations that take economic decisions at their own level. The connection between economics and politics seems to be surprisingly loose and flexible. At the very least, the neo-classical mantra that there is no third way appears to be disproved.
A more likely analysis might be that the unregulated free market economy and the centrally planned communist alternative, are both examples of Weber's ideal types, neither fully realised in the real world in their pure forms. Moreover, it seems probable that there are a million or more different possible routes between these two over-simplified extremes, which might achieve different combinations of economic and social success.
For example, a step down the road to fairness in the imposition of taxes might not necessarily betoken an attempt to subvert a free market economy into one which would, in the end, have to be centrally planned. It was, after all, Adam Smith, who argued that 'It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion.' That was the more or less universally held view till the Austrian economists voiced their neurotic fear of totalitarian socialism and the destructive impact of any small steps in that direction.
It may seem extraordinary that the Labour party [albeit New Labour] has slavishly adhered to 'the ideology that believes in deregulated, untaxed, ever expanding global capital markets as an end in themselves.'Gordon Brown has been forced to consider something like the Tobin tax to placate his erstwhile supporters since the catastrophic collapse of the banking sector. The realisation that we seem to be 'controlled and manipulated by privately owned global organisations' is disturbing. We in the west seem to have gone too far in that direction. 'The Rise and Fall of Management' is clear that the either/or belief of the Friedman economists is no longer valid. Would a middle way promote greater stability both internally and internationally?


Formerly known as the Bat Licence Training Course (BLTC) which has run since 2008, new for 2019 is the evolution of BLTC into COMPLETE BAT TRAINING - a course based programme to consolidate skills and experience for those with a wide range of backgrounds in bat consultancy including those seeking bat survey licences and those wanting to update and consolidate their bat survey skills.
Places are strictly limited for this specialist training which is based around two compulsory residential field courses and a training diary of bat work experience. The course has been running successfully since 2008, with fantastic feedback, routinely visiting nine venues every year.
The course is co-written and taught by Dr Sandie Sowler, MCIEEM, FLS and Richard Crompton, CEnv, MCIEEM, FLS.
Two residential field courses – one during the colder months of the year and one during the bats' active season.
Sign-off for a licence is at the strict discretion of the trainers, both of whom hold training licences for Natural England and the Natural Resources Wales, and follows an assessment and a review of training diaries. The course has a tried and tested assessment process including a written test and one-on-one interview; to give the trainers confidence to sign off participants as competent bat surveyors. Participants of this course have been successfully signed-up for Natural England, Natural Resources Wales, and occasionally Scottish Natural Heritage (although you might also like to try our Scottish training partner Bat Ability) and Northern Irish licences.
The Bat License Training Course provides the range of experience and assessment needed by those who intend to use their licence in a professional capacity; you will undertake daytime summer visits, underground hibernation surveys, tree surveys and a whole host of other activities, making this the only course to cover all of the Bat Conservation Trust's professional training standards in an intensive training programme.
If you are interested in attending the Bat Licence Training Course but don't yet meet the entry requirements then our new course Introduction to Bat Licence Training may be a suitable starting point for you. Our other courses can help to gather supporting skills such as advanced techniques, mitigation and sound analysis.
Please note that BLTC does not attempt to be training to become a 'bat ecologist', but provides the training needed to successfully achieve a Natural England Class level 1 or 2 licence and the equivalent Bat Survey Licences (with handling) in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Dates throughout the year. More information on application.


Mechanical forces play an important role in tissue development and homeostasis. Our goal is to understand the response of cells to mechanical signals and to use this knowledge to predict tissue behaviour and development.
When compressing a tissue or a tissue engineering scaffold (A), the deformation will not be uniform throughout the structure. Using Finite Element Models, the local deformation can be determined (B). This information can then be combined with a mechanobiological algorithm (C) to predict local tissue development (D).
A mathematical model is only as good as the data and assumptions used in it. Therefore, we are actively developing and using in vitro model systems to determine the effect of mechanical signals on cells. These model systems are used both to generate input for the mechanobiological models and to validate the results of the models.
The application areas of this research line are diverse, including tissue engineering (A), bone remodelling (B) and orthopaedic implant integration (C).

Hit Videogames Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City are being remastered Using Unreal Engine 4 and being bundled Into One Package.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today announced Batman: Return to Arkham. The new title bundles Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, two of the most critically acclaimed videogames on the last generation of gaming consoles. Both are being remastered for PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One using Unreal Engine 4, a first for the award winning Batman: Arkham series. Remastered by Virtuos, this set offers fans a chance to play the first two Batman: Arkham titles including all Game of the Year edition bonus and downloadable content from both games, now with improved graphics, as well as upgraded models, environments, lighting, effects and shaders.

To watch the official Batman: Return to Arkham trailer, please visit the WB Games UK YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/pwViLw8ok1s.
Batman: Arkham Asylum is where it all began. Originally developed by Rocksteady Studios and released in 2009, the game pushed the envelope for action, adventure and super hero games and exposed players to a unique, dark and atmospheric adventure taking them to the depths of Arkham Asylum. Featuring an original story, gamers can move in the shadows, instill fear amongst their enemies and confront The Joker and Gotham City's most notorious villains, including Harley Quinn, Bane, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy and Scarecrow, who have taken over the asylum.
Batman: Arkham City is Rocksteady Studios' 2011 follow-up to Batman: Arkham Asylum. The game builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring through the expansive Arkham City – the maximum security "home" for all of Gotham City's thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds. Featuring an incredible Rogues Gallery of Gotham City's most dangerous criminals including Catwoman, The Joker, The Riddler, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze and many others, the game allows players to experience what it feels like to be The Dark Knight and deliver justice to those confined within Arkham City.
Batman: Return to Arkham is based on DC Comics' core Batman license and is rated PEGI 16. Fans can visit http://Facebook.com/batmanarkham for more information about the game.

Train2Game News Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate Review
Warner Brothers allowed me to review the Xbox 360 version of Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate: Deluxe Edition.
As some of you may know this was the game that was originally released for the PlayStation Vita alongside the main release of Batman Arkham Origins, developed by Warner Brothers. Instead of the 3D open world adventure it's big brother is this is what is known as 2.5d adventure.
This game started off feeling like a rail shooter Batman which wasn't a bad choice as the combat was simplified but engaging and the art style in the cut scenes was very apt with it's comic book feel. The problem came a bit further in to the game where the game tried to be open in a linear world.
It was the cause of much frustration having to go all the way to one area to discover you didn't have the right gadget or keycard to progress and having to then walk to a different part of the map to retrieve the needed item. A lot of the game just felt like I was walking around the different zones and getting lost through the map laid out in a confusing manner.
The boss fights and some of the puzzle rooms when you eventually get to them are fun and in a good Dark Knight style though and are almost worth the amount of confused wandering.
My overall conclusion for Arkham Origins Blackgate is that if you have a PSVita certainly give it a try but if you want to play a Batman game on a home console or PC stick with any of the current Arkham games in the series.

"Batman: Arkham Knight is the pinnacle game of our hugely successful franchise, and we are giving players the most expansive, impressive title in the series," said Martin Tremblay, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

Train2Game News: Mad Munchkin Reviews
Posted on August 16, 2013 by Train2Game Blogger Team
Train2Game student, Amy Methven from Elgin Scotland, has created her own YouTube channel talking about all sorts of different art and animation.
Amy's Mad Munchkin Reviews have covered media such as games, movies and TV Shows. She has spoken about the Batman Arkham games, My Little Pony and she has discussed subjects such as CGI compared to 2D animation.
It's a fascinating view on all the different aspects of animation.
I asked Amy why she decided to create her YouTube channel and she said "I started the Mad Munchkin reviews for lots of different reasons really. The first one being that I love Art and love talking about it, like most people on the Art and Animation Course with Train2Game.
The second reason is that I wanted to find other creative ways to expose my Art work outside of the video game industry. In a practical sense, it allowed me to develop my video editing skills as well as analytical skills when it comes to my writing. I wanted to teach myself how to construct my critiques so I can successfully back up my opinions on what I review.
The show primarily focuses on Animated Movies, tv shows and video games, looking at the creative process behind creating these pieces of Art from the perspective of theory rather than the practical technicalities of the process. As much as I love the practical side of creativity, it is the theory and reason behind it that I like talking about more. Asking why something looks a certain why is more interesting to me than finding out how it was constructed."

Train2Game News: Top 3 Game Engines
Across the past week Train2Game held a poll to see which is your favourite game engine. These are the results!
In descending order the Third most popular games engine for Train2Game Students is the CryEngine 3. It was originally developed by German studio, Crytek, as a technology demo for Nvidia and, when the company saw its potential, it was turned into a game. That first game developed using the engine was the first Far Cry.
The CryEngine 3 Free SDK, originally called Sandbox Editor, is the current version of the level editor used to create levels for the CryEngine line of game engines by Crytek. Tools are also provided within the software to facilitate scripting, animation, and object creation. It has been included with various Crytek games and is used extensively for modding purposes. The editing style is that of the sandbox concept, with the emphasis on large terrains and a free style of mission programming. The editor can also construct indoor settings.
Recently the engine has been used to create games such as Crysis 3, Monster Hunter Online and Ryse which will be released on the Xbox One.
Second in the poll was the Unity engine. Unity (also called Unity3D) is a cross-platform game engine with a built-in IDE developed by Unity Technologies. Unity is primarily used to create mobile and web games, but can also deploy games to consoles or the PC. The game engine was developed in C/C++, and is able to support code written in C#, JavaScript or Boo. It grew from an OS X supported game development tool in 2005 to the multi-platform game engine that it is today.
The Unity Engine is simple to use and as of this month free to publish to mobiles. It is clear why it is popular among Train2Game Students.
The Unity Engine has been used to create popular mobile games such as Bad Piggies, Slender: The Arrival and it was used to port Temple Run 2 to Android devices.
Finally the number one games engine according to Train2Game students is Epic's Unreal Engine. Although primarily developed for first-person shooters, it has been successfully used in a variety of other genres, including stealth, MMORPGs and other RPGs. With its code written in C++, the Unreal Engine features a high degree of portability and is a tool used by many game developers today. It was first developed in 1998 for Unreal.
The third and current generation of the Unreal Engine (UE3) is designed for DirectX (versions 9-11 for Windows and Xbox 360), as well as systems using OpenGL, including the PlayStation 3, OS X, iOS, Android, Stage 3D for Adobe Flash Player 11, JavaScript/WebGL, PlayStation Vita and Wii U. Its renderer supports many advanced techniques including HDRR, per-pixel lighting, and dynamic shadows. It also builds on the tools available in previous versions.
In October 2011, the engine was ported to support Adobe Flash Player 11 through the Stage 3D hardware-accelerated APIs. Epic has used this version of the engine for their in-house games. Aggressive licensing of this iteration has garnered a great deal of support from many prominent licensees. Epic has announced that Unreal Engine 3 runs on both Windows 8 and Windows RT.
The engine is free to download and has a small charge of $99 to publish from, as long as you don't make over $50,000 after which Epic will start to take a percentage.
The Unreal engine has been used in countless games including The Batman Arkham Games, BioShock Infinite, The Borderlands games, Dishonored, The Gears of War series and countless others.
It is quite clear why the Unreal Engine is the most popular engine among Train2Game Students.

You can resist giving up your favorite pair of bib shorts for a few weeks, or maybe a month or two of fall, but eventually, your legs are going to need some more protection. If you want a one-piece solution to keeping your lower half warm during cold-weather cycling, Castelli's Nanoflex Donna Tights represent a sleek, highly functional choice. They have a built-in KISS Air Chamois so you won't need to deal with layering, and they are constructed with Castelli's Nano Flex fabric, which wicks moisture quickly away from your skin to manage body temperature. Water beads up and rolls off immediately when it hits Nano Flex, so you won't need a shell with these tights if you're heading out on a day with threatening skies, and Castelli used as little seaming as possible to eliminate areas where water could get into the tights.
Castelli shows its continuous attention to the small details that contribute to a piece of clothing's functionality as well, using Giro3 ankle grippers to create seamless, sealed integration with your shoe covers, and including ankle zippers that make it easy to put the tights on or take them off. As a final touch, reflective accents on both the zippers and the sides of the legs help enhance your visibility as you try to pedal home before those early winter sunsets.
Wear a medium in Pearl Izumi and almost all other brands. The size large in the Donna tights was impossibly small. In fact, gave them to my 13 year old mountain bike racing daughter and they fit her perfectly.
I used them in winter weather for entire day riding. Perfect padding and comfort.
Love these tights. Great fit, ordered a size up from street size. Keeps me warm in 30 degree temps and is has good waterproof capabilities. Like the clingy ness of the ankles and the tight zipper. The waistline is a stylish 'v' and the padding is awesome. Loved this brand so much bought hubby same in men's.
The tights are warm and well made. The medium is a little tight in the waist...but I don't have a waist! I think a size large would have been too large elsewhere, though I am aware of the waistband when I ride.
I always wear a medium but these are very small - will exchange for the next size up.
I ordered a medium - I'm 5'6 130lbs and usually always a M. Nice pant but I will try to size up.
This pants keep me warm through the winter cycling. It's made with good quality of materials. I will shop it again.
I have two pairs of the Donna shorts and love them, and the tights are no different! The sizing is a bit tighter than the Donna shorts, but not so tight I needed to go up another size. They are the perfect combination of warm and breathable. I haven't worn them in the rain yet, but they are great for dry cold weather riding.
Medium fits great-a little long but that means they cover to the top of my shoes. Chamois is extremely comfortable on the bike and yes, it feels a little bulky off the bike but not so much I'd return them. Worn in slightly damp/cool conditions (40s) and warmer/dry conditions (high 50s) and kept me at the right temperature. Runs small compared to clothing, but so does most good bike wear. Nice details include crossover waistband, reflective fabric on (covered) zippers. Definitely recommended.
Castelli is my favorite and these tights are no exception. They are a comfortable, cozy weight, feel good on, and fit super. I'm 5'5", 115 lbs, with a 25" waist and 35" hips. The medium fit perfectly. I also wear a medium in Castelli shorts. I'm typically a size small but routinely size up for Castelli shorts or tights. Castelli chamois are always comfortable for me, and while a bit larger than some others, it isn't noticeable when riding.
Wore these a couple of days ago in colder weather (high 30s- low 40's) when the weather threatened to rain. Well it actually snowed, and then it rained (light to moderate- not a downpour) ....Water droplets beaded on the tights and rolled off. When I took the tights off, my legs were dry. The only place that was wet was right above the saddle where the constant wheelspray from the rear tire was a bit too much for them. Was glad I was wearing them or surely would have froze descending the canyon. I have also ridden in them in dry weather (temp 40's to low 50s). They kept my legs warm without being stifling, nice for the cold descents, but wouldn't wear them if much warmer. Perfect if the weather is cool and threatening to rain. Would still rely on a truly waterproof pant if downright raining hard.
They run small which is a bit of an ego bruiser--buy one size up.
I purchased these for winter riding in PA. They keep me very warm on high 30 degree days. I usually wear a small in Castelli and thought I would need a Med after receiving them. They were tight around my ankles. I kept the small and they have worked out great.
hi, my hip is 90cm. What size of bib legging should i buy?

(Oxford and Hong Kong, 19 April 2007) Courtesy of the generosity of the Li Ka-shing Foundation, Oxford University will develop new significant global health research networks with Asia, and, in particular, China.
Sir Ka-shing Li, through his Foundation established in 1980, has agreed to donate GBP 2 million towards the University's extensive global health programmes. The funding will be used for a variety of important purposes: to provide scholarships for students of Oxford's Global Health Sciences MSc; to set up collaborations between researchers in Asia and at Oxford; and to fund a global health teaching programme conducted by Oxford experts at Shantou University in Guangdong, China.
The programmes will be administered by a board of senior Oxford University health scientists led by Professor Jeremy Farrar, a world expert on infectious diseases.
Oxford University's MSc in Global Health Sciences is designed to equip leaders in global health science and practice with knowledge and skills, ranging from tropical and infectious medicine, epidemiology, and public health to development studies and health economics. The Li Ka-shing Foundation donation will fund four scholarships each year enabling exceptional students from Asia and Africa to gain skills and knowledge to combat diseases in their own countries.
The donation also provides fast access to seed-funding for research projects in global health, particularly new projects that have a significant impact on health issues important within Asia.
A teaching programme at Shantou University will see eminent Oxford University researchers in global health contribute to an annual teaching course for undergraduates and postgraduates studying medicine, epidemiology, health sciences and infectious diseases.
Welcoming Sir Ka-shing Li's donation, Professor Farrar said it was an incredibly exciting development for clinical research and education in international health.
"Oxford University has a long history of very successful international collaborative partnerships with China, Thailand, Vietnam and many other parts of Asia. This new and very generous donation will open up a number of important areas for future collaboration and educational opportunities and further strengthen the warm ties that already exist between Hong Kong, China and Oxford University.
"We anticipate that this will make a significant impact on health issues important throughout the region and very much look forward to many years of working with the Li Ka-shing Foundation," he said.
Speaking on his latest donation, Sir Ka-shing Li said: "The world becomes more interdependent every day; and we now know that the fate of all of us depends on the fate of each of us.
"Nowhere is this more true than in the field of global health, where diseases spread at least as fast as the knowledge to contain them.
"I am delighted that my Foundation is working with the University of Oxford to help develop new research in the fields of prevention and cure. It is in such global collaboration that our future lies." Sir Ka-shing added.
