DSM: Complete Plant Protein
DSM introduces Vertis™ CanolaPRO®, the complete plant protein free from major allergens
PHOTO COURTESY OF: DSM
Royal DSM introduces Vertis™ CanolaPRO®, a high-quality canola protein isolate. This milestone follows more than 10 years of research and development at DSM to unlock the healthy protein from the canola seed and produce it at scale for the food industry.
Canola seeds, also known as rapeseeds, are one of the world's few available plant sources of complete protein, meaning they contain all nine essential amino acids required for good health. Vertis™ CanolaPRO® will allow food and beverage producers to develop plant-based products that offer complete proteins and are free from major allergens.
An estimated 30% of consumers in major markets identify as flexitarian, however not all consumers of plant-based products are satisfied with the options on the market, which some perceive as falling short in terms of taste, texture, or health. [1] In particular, consumers are scrutinizing the labels of plant-based foods and beverages they buy, and looking for products which contain high-quality complete protein. "Good source of protein" is the number one attribute consumers in the U.S. look for when buying plant-based products. [2] At the same time, consumers are avoiding major allergens such as soy, gluten, and dairy, with 40% of U.S. consumers having purchased a food with an allergen- or intolerance-related label last year. [3]
Vertis™ CanolaPRO® increases protein levels in plant-based food and beverages and does not contain major allergens. When used as part of a protein blending strategy, Vertis™ CanolaPRO® is highly complementary to proteins from legumes and cereals and fills in gaps in essential amino acids. Vertis™ CanolaPRO® has a protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) of 1, on par with soy or whey, and a high digestibility score (DIAAS ≥ 100). The functional benefits of VertisTM CanolaPRO® improve the bite and texture of meat and fish alternatives, and create a smoother mouthfeel in dairy alternatives and performance nutrition products.
Sustainability is at the heart of the production of VertisTM CanolaPRO®. It is produced from canola meal, a co-product of canola/rapeseed oil production. The ingredient has a small carbon footprint[4] and requires no additional arable land for its production. VertisTM CanolaPRO® is produced in a proprietary process with minimal water use, low temperatures, and no solvents. VertisTM CanolaPRO® is produced in a joint venture with Avril Group, a leading processor and financer in the vegetable oils and proteins sector based in France, at a newly constructed facility in Dieppe.
"We are immensely proud to bring Vertis™ CanolaPRO® to the market to help address the need for nutritious, delicious, and sustainable plant-based food and beverages," says Patrick Niels, Executive Vice President of Food & Beverage at DSM. "At DSM, we're driven to partner with our customers in the food and beverage industry to produce great products that have benefits for both people and the planet. With the launch of Vertis™ CanolaPRO® alongside our legume-based offering, we are establishing a leading portfolio of healthy and sustainable plant proteins that even better positions us as a go-to innovation partner for the plant-based market."
DSM unveils new brand positioning for Vertis™ plant proteins
Along with the launch of VertisTM CanolaPRO®, DSM is unveiling a differentiating positioning and campaign for its Vertis™ plant protein portfolio. The portfolio includes plant protein concentrates and textured vegetable proteins based on peas and faba beans, which DSM acquired with Vestkorn Milling in 2021, with more innovative proteins and solutions in the pipeline.
VertisTM plant proteins offer an alternative on the market for high-quality, sustainably-produced plant proteins. Together with DSM's unrivaled scientific foundation, application expertise, and innovation, as well as a broad range of taste, texture, and health solutions for plant-based products, the Vertis™ plant protein portfolio enables DSM to lead the market as an end-to-end partner for the creation of plant-based food and beverages that create an impact for products, people and the planet.
Sales of Vertis™ plant proteins will contribute to DSM's commitment to reach 150 million people with its ingredients and solutions for nutritious, delicious, and sustainable plant-based food and beverages by 2030. Last year, DSM announced this and other quantifiable food system commitments, including commitments to support the sustainable production of animal protein, to address the societal and environmental challenges linked to food production and consumption.
Royal DSM is a global, purpose-led company in Health, Nutrition & Bioscience, applying science to improve the health of people, animals and the planet. DSM's purpose is to create brighter lives for all. DSM's products and solutions address some of the world's biggest challenges while simultaneously creating economic, environmental and societal value for all its stakeholders – customers, employees, shareholders, and society at large.

The New Atari "VCS" - Official Topic
By leolinden
March 19, 2018 in Modern Gaming

The name change smells familiar...
*cough* Coleco Chameleon *cough*
Also, the most confusing new console name since the Xbox One.
And again, no information AT ALL. There's no new developments other than "THE NAME IS NOT THE ATARI BOX NOW GUYZ!"
Sabertooth, TrekMD and RickR
young Atari lover
To be fair, they did update the website too. It looks like they might be fans of atari.io/7800 Ave.
Justin, Atari Creep, dgrubb and 2 others
Details, details. Where are the details? Just calling it VCS doesn't tell me enough.
🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...
The following is snippets from this article https://venturebeat.com/2018/03/19/atari-unveils-atari-vcs-its-first-home-game-console-in-9-years/
The company is showing off the Atari VCS, Classic Joystick, and Modern Controller prototypes to the press this week at GDC. And it is working with game developers, content creators, and other partners to finalize details. In April, Atari will announce a preorder date for the Atari VCS. Earlier, Atari canceled a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo because its development hit a snag.
"Every person at Atari and every partner involved with the new platform is just as fanatical about the brand and its heritage as our biggest fans are," said Atari Connected Devices chief operating officer Michael Arzt in a statement. "With the Atari VCS name, we know how important it is to get everything completely right, and that's why we briefly paused an imminent launch late last year. It was a difficult decision with the countdown underway, but we weren't willing to go forward with even one thing out of alignment. We hope that despite the delay, Atari's fans appreciate our extreme attention to detail and are as excited about the Atari VCS as we are."

I'm on board for new Atari stuff but I wish they had chosen any other name than "Atari VCS". I feel the same way about that as I did about "Xbox One". Things are going to get confusing. How about something like "Atari 2900" or something else completely new? I hope what they deliver is top quality. Until it ships and I have one in my hand I'm just gonna take a deep breath, kick back and relax, and be happy this isn't one of those things that was "announced" and sat in development hell for another 9 years. It has the Atari name on it and I wish them well.
I hope!
BTW, it's nice to have you back in the forums posting again Leo! Great to see you around
chas10e and leolinden
I might be in the minority, but I like the "modern meets Atari" look of both controllers.
Justin, Sabertooth and dgrubb
You're not. I dig both controllers.
Sabertooth, Justin and dgrubb
Yeah I love those too.
I may have gotten a little hot headed about this. The lack of info concerns me though.

I actually really love the design of the console and their branding artwork. I don't know why, but this opinion really offends some people (admittedly, on somewhat rowdier forums than this one).
leolinden, Justin and RickR
I agree that it looks really nice, design-wise. It's just hard not to be jaded after all the false promises from similar systems in the past.
Mcorleonep
Just when I thought this was going to go 'pie in the sky' here comes another 'small' update. We still have no idea what kind of console this is but here's what I'd like it to be. I'd say it's kind of like the retro consoles released by Nintendo and AtGames but taking it a step further. I would hope that it came with pre-loaded Atari classics spanning from the 2600, 5200 and on at least through the 7800. Maybe throw in some arcade games as well. Owners may have the option to purchase and download licensed games such as Space Invaders, and other games not created by Atari originally. In the past, only Atari 2600 games were available in retro collections so this does have potential appeal for many on this forum. We shall see...
From the looks of it, they are trying to make it have new games as well. If they are good retro style games, it might be worth it. Without physical media though, I feel like it wouldn't be as cool.
If it has old games and have new software for it, then it would be cool. It'd need a "killer app" though to justify the $200 cost that they seem to have been going for.
Atari 5200 Guy
They have already mentioned it being a Linux based console. I agree with others...it should not be named Atari VCS. We already have that. Name it something else. One name that never got used past a prototype stage is "Panther". So...name it that but not VCS. The VCS it is not even if it is a computer system. Then again all game consoles are computer systems. The market is already flooded with VCS clones and to add this on top of those will only add to the confusion.
I do like the controllers and in one photo on the website you see a person using an XBOX controller. But the whole idea behind Atari's new console was to make it easier for people (although kids was specifically mentioned in the past) to play games that are already available on other consoles and computers and portable communication devices (tablets, smartphones) which seems to me to not exactly be the way to do it. Being able to play Minecraft (a Microsoft owned property now) and Terraria on it does seem cool but these games are already on every modern console, tablet/smartphone, and computer download service available. Not to mention in physical format on some consoles.
Bottomline: If Atari is going to market this new system then I would want to see some new and fresh game ideas. It would be in their best interest to startup an Indie Game program since XBOX axed theirs. While it does open the door for quality-lacking games it can also bring about some new game ideas that could become hidden gems in their own right. Xenominer, Arcadecraft, and a few others got their start being Indie Games and have become very successful. Minecraft is a good example of this as is Terraria. But we already have those and many clones...the gaming community needs new and fresh game ideas.
I've said it before and I will say it again...I have no interest in this until I see more, what it can do, and what games are going to be on it. If I see repeats of games I already have I will pass. I also don't need a Linux Box as I can make those any time I want with computers here I'm not using.
MST3K Fan
AHEM
I been calling this one out since the first mention of the guy behind it. Other than the name and some renders and a lot of HYPE they got NOTHING. Just more whoring of the Atari brand name to nostalgic fans who will shell out money for anything "officially licensed" and of course the minute you question or call it out or ask questions those with dreams and wishes will quickly label you anti ATARI or call you hater etc. NO, my history and current collection verify I am a HUGE Atari fan and want only the best for the name and company except this "ATARIBOX / ATARI VCS" is has has never been anything more than a marketing train wreck created by Fergal MacConuladh who merely licensed the name for use on this project.

Don't have high hopes for that 'Atari whatever'. I think, the kid is dead in the cradle.
No games!
No price!
No specs!
Nothing really new!
We all know the same as one year ago. Nearly nothing.
E.G.: Daimler announces a new car. No chassis, no technical infos, no price to offer. Only the possibility to preorder. Who would catch that offer?
Edited March 20, 2018 by TeddyGermany
Seems like the FB Atari fans are having mixed feelings about the name change but all of them pretty much say the same thing that Teddy just mentioned. For the price they are asking for the AtariBox (that's the name I'm sticking with) I could think of a whole bunch of physical Atari games that have been here for decades I don't have that I would rather spend that money on. Hell, for the price they are going for these days, that would buy a whole bunch of Wii games. Am I alone thinking that way?

At this point I'd say the Retron 77 is more likely to materialize. Cautiously optimistic but this thing screams coleco chameleon
MaximumRD, dgrubb and Justin
I'm not entirely sure the comparisons to Coleco Chameleon are warranted. This may well end up being a flop or a complete waste of time, but unlike the Chameleon everything that's been announced (streaming, emulation and Minecraft-level games) is realistic for a small team to accomplish using off-the-shelf components (Linux on a low-end Intel device with an AMD GPU). There's no large scale custom FPGA work to do, for instance. I can at least see the path to actually building something.
Whether what they build will be desirable to Atari fans or a new customer base remains to be seen, but that's an entirely different issue than faked up prototypes obscured with electrical tape.

There is no doubt in my mind that this thing will never be made. Pie in the sky at best, scam at worst.
Edited March 21, 2018 by StormSurge
I'm not entirely sure the comparisons to Coleco Chameleon are warranted.
I am convinced, the signs are there, really nothing substantial has been shown to prove it isn't. Let's be honest here, if you have something to show you are going to show it and silence the doubters but Cnet even recently confirmed what was shown and on display was NOTHING BUT A MOCKUP and YET they are discussing a date for Pre-orders? When they have not shown a single thing actually running? Nope, it is definitely Coleco Chameleon-esque in my humble opinion. I guess we shall see but going by experience and history in these type of things I am going with the odds and calling it as I see it. So far though even with it's "appearance" this has gone from rendered images to a mockup and a name change and a lot of hype and promises. If they actually start taking money for Pre-orders BEFORE they actually show anything running on real hardware I recommend not backing.
Link to article - https://www.cnet.com/news/ataribox-atari-vcs-console-linux-hands-on-pc/
pasted from article : (OH COME ON ! )
Good news: We finally understand what the mysterious Ataribox is all about. We've touched its deliciously retro ribbed plastic frame, and given its classic-meets-modern joystick a wiggle. The Atari VCS looks like it could be a real product, one you might be proud to own and display.
Bad news: There's not much proof it's real yet. Atari didn't bring a working VCS to the 2018 Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco, only mockups. Though the company has an interesting vision for the box, we weren't able to try a single game.
"We'd all like to be BAM, there it is, it's awesome. That day will come," says Atari engineer Joe Moak. "Today is not that day."
Atari Creep
King of Kreep
Coming late to the party. I think it is a great looking package all around. I do not think it is a scam at all. 2 things I see wrong here. 1. maybe they should have held out a little longer to start building the hype, maybe have some set plans rather than a concept. Or 2 give real updates. I am almost ashamed to admit that I am excited for this and will support it to the very end, but with each fumble I get more nervous about it. All that said it seems like they are using feedback as part as their process and that is 1 huge step in the right direction. And if worse tomes to worse, at least I get some good traffic on my channel every time I post a video on the subject!!!!!
Don't just watch TV, PLAY IT!

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tradeshift, the fastest growing platform helping hundreds of thousands of businesses connect, collaborate and transact announced it has raised $75 million in its Series C funding from Singapore's Scentan Ventures - a team consisting of internet entrepreneurs, digital, and finance veterans. This round brings Tradeshift's funding to a total of $112 million, and will help drive its global expansion in the US, Europe and now Asia with investments made to fuel sales, marketing and applications development.
The funding will also jump start efforts in Japan, where the new partnership with Scentan Ventures will bring local expertise and build the applications ecosystem for the Tradeshift platform in Asia. Tradeshift will also open offices in Tokyo.
The partnership provides Scentan Ventures exclusive product development, sales, marketing and service rights to the Tradeshift platform throughout Japan. Scentan Ventures' Managing Director, Noriaki Okubo, will join Tradeshift's board. Tradeshift, which connects more than 500,000 companies around the world with their supply chains to facilitate business transactions, has previously secured funding from worldwide investors such as Notion Capital, Ru-net, Kite Ventures, Intuit and PayPal, and opened offices in Suzhou, China in 2013, to develop localized products for Chinese suppliers.
As global markets expand, and the need for cross border trade capabilities increases, enterprises are quickly looking to bring their suppliers online to create transparency and support collaboration in the trading process. As one of the world's strongest economies, Japan represents one of the largest opportunities for B2B in domestic and international supply chains. Tradeshift, which is free for suppliers, boasts high levels of adoption and promotes the free flow of information between parties. Its open application development platform supports any number of current business transaction processes and future proofs to ensure scalability.
Tradeshift has secured $75 million in Series C funding. The company counts DHL, CBRE, the NHS and the French government among its customers, and the money will see significant investment in the UK.

878 F. 2d 921 - United States v. Wilson
878 F2d 921 United States v. Wilson
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
Lawrence WILSON, Defendant-Appellant.
Sixth Circuit.
Submitted on Brief May 18, 1989.
Decided June 29, 1989.
W. Hickman Ewing, Jr., U.S. Atty., Timothy R. DiScenza, Asst. U.S. Atty., [COR NTC gvt] Memphis, Tenn., for plaintiff-appellee.
Leslie I. Ballin, Memphis, Tenn., for defendant-appellant.
Before MARTIN and BOGGS, Circuit Judges; and CONTIE, Senior Circuit Judge.
CONTIE, Senior Circuit Judge.
Defendant Lawrence Wilson appeals the sentence imposed by the district court pursuant to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines (the guidelines), which were promulgated pursuant to the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, as amended. 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3551 et seq. (1982 ed. Supp. IV) and 28 U.S.C. Secs. 991-998 (1982 ed. Supp. IV). For the following reasons, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
On March 11, 1988, government agents executed a search warrant at appellant's home. Appellant shared the home with his girlfriend and her seventeen year old son. When the agents initially confronted appellant he told them he had no guns in the house. While searching the house, however, the agents found a .357 Magnum revolver under a pillow. When confronted with this discovery, appellant admitted that the gun belonged to him. He stated that he took it in trade for some work he had done on a person's car.
On April 12, 1988, the federal grand jury for the Western District of Tennessee indicted appellant, a convicted felon, for unlawfully, knowingly, and intentionally possessing a firearm affecting commerce in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922(g). On June 9, 1988, appellant pleaded guilty to the offense charged. On June 15th, he filed a motion to preclude the application of the guidelines on constitutional grounds. After a hearing, appellant was sentenced to ten months' imprisonment. Appellant timely appeals.
Appellant argues that the sentencing court misapplied the guidelines by failing to give him a two-level reduction for his acceptance of responsibility and a four-level reduction because he possessed the firearm as collateral for a debt owed him by another party and not for offensive or defensive purposes. Appellant also argues that the guidelines are unconstitutional in the following ways: the composition of the Sentencing Commission violates the doctrine of separation of powers; the service of article III judges on the Commission compromises the judiciary; the President's power to remove the article III judges from the Commission violates the Constitution; Congress unconstitutionally delegated its authority to the Commission; and the guidelines violate due process.1
In the instant case, appellant argues that the district court incorrectly applied the guidelines. Appellate review of sentences under the guidelines is set forth in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3742, which provides in relevant part as follows:
(d) Consideration.--Upon review of the record, the court of appeals shall determine whether the sentence--
(1) was imposed in violation of law;
(2) was imposed as a result of an incorrect application of the sentencing guidelines;
The court of appeals shall give due regard to the opportunity of the district court to judge the credibility of the witnesses, and shall accept the findings of fact of the district court unless they are clearly erroneous.
(e) Decision and disposition.--If the court of appeals determines that the sentence--
(1) was imposed in violation of law or imposed as a result of an incorrect application of the sentencing guidelines, the court shall remand the case for further sentencing proceedings with such instructions as the court considers appropriate;
Section 3E1.1 of the guidelines allows for a two-level reduction "if the defendant clearly demonstrates a recognition and affirmative acceptance of personal responsibility for his criminal conduct." Sec. 3E1.1(a). Application Note Five to this guideline sets forth the standard of review for decisions made concerning this section: "The sentencing judge is in a unique position to evaluate a defendant's acceptance of responsibility. For this reason, the determination of the sentencing judge is entitled to great deference on review and should not be disturbed unless it is without foundation."
The Fifth Circuit has recently elaborated on the standard of review for a district court's "acceptance of responsibility" determination.
Whether or not a defendant has accepted responsibility for his crime is a factual question. The district court's determination of that question, like its findings with respect to manager status, and minimal participant status, enjoys the protection of the 'clearly erroneous' standard. Because the trial court's assessment of a defendant's contrition will depend heavily on credibility assessments, the 'clearly erroneous' standard will nearly always sustain the judgment of the district court in this area. Indeed, the guidelines specifically state that '[t]he sentencing judge is in a unique position to evaluate a defendant's acceptance of responsibility. For this reason, the determination of the sentencing judge is entitled to great deference on review and should not be disturbed unless it is without foundation.'
United States v. Thomas, 870 F.2d 174, 176 (5th Cir.1989) (citations omitted).
In his presentence report, the probation officer recommended the two-level reduction for acceptance of responsibility. After hearing the testimony of appellant concerning the circumstances of his arrest, the district court disallowed the two-level reduction.
Appellant argues that he should have been granted the reduction based on Application Note 1(c) to section 3E1.1 which states that the sentencing court in determining whether a defendant qualifies for this reduction should consider "voluntary and truthful admission to authorities of involvement in the offense or related conduct."
The court gave the following rationale for its determination:
In order that the Court might be in a position to resolve this concern, the defendant took the stand and was asked a series of questions by his attorney. From those questions, the Court learned that the firearm was discovered when officers went to the residence of the defendant where his girlfriend and a teenager were located in a search for contraband. When the officers made inquiry as to whether there were any firearms on the premises, the defendant said there were none. A subsequent search of the premises reflected that there was a .357 Magnum revolver under a pillow on the couch. The defendant then acknowledged that it was his. He entered a voluntary plea of guilty on June 9, 1988, after having been arraigned on May 4, 1988, at which time he plead not guilty. This Court is of the opinion that the defendant did no more than plead guilty to the offense, whereas the Guideline requires recognition and affirmative acceptance of personal responsibility for the criminal conduct.
The essence of the district court's ruling is that appellant's actions--admitting that the firearm was his after its discovery, when he originally denied that a firearm was on the premises and pleading not guilty at arraignment and then pleading guilty at a subsequent hearing--were nothing more than a guilty plea, which does not entitle him to a sentencing reduction as a matter of right.
Given the facts relied on by the district court, we believe its determination of the acceptance of responsibility issue is not clearly erroneous or without foundation and, therefore, it will not be disturbed.
Finally, appellant argues that he was entitled to a four-level reduction pursuant to section 2K2.1(b)(2) which allows for the reduction "if the defendant obtained or possessed the firearm solely for sport or recreation." Appellant argues that he had taken the gun in pawn for work he had done on another man's car. He notes further that he possessed no bullets for the gun.
The probation officer denied this reduction because the gun was not possessed "solely for sport or recreation." The district court agreed with the probation officer's recommendation, since the appellant asserted that the firearm was possessed as collateral for payment due him for an automotive repair job and not for "sport or recreation."
Appellant argues that section 2K2.1(b)(2) was meant to cover innocent possessions, and that only if the firearm was possessed for offensive or defensive purposes should the reduction not be applied. He argues that his possession was even less offensive than possession for sport or recreation since those activities involve discharging the weapon, while his purpose, use of the firearm as collateral, is not "use" of the firearm at all. He relies on the commentary to section 2K2.1 which reads in relevant part as follows:
1. Under Sec. 2K2.1(b)(2), intended lawful use, as determined by the surrounding circumstances, provides a decrease in offense level. Relevant circumstances include, among others, the number and type of firearms (sawed-off shotguns, for example, have few legitimate uses) and ammunition, the location and circumstances of possession, the nature of the defendant's criminal history (e.g., whether involving firearms), and the extent to which possession is restricted by local law.
Intended lawful use, as determined by the surrounding circumstances, is a mitigating factor.
Commentary to Guideline 2K2.1.
In reaching its decision, the district court gave section 2K2.1 a literal reading and determined that a defendant must possess a firearm for sport or recreation alone to qualify for an offense level reduction. We agree with the district court. Accordingly, we reject appellant's argument that section 2K2.1(b)(2) was written to allow a reduction for any innocent possession. We hold that under guideline section 2K2.1(b)(2) the only "intended lawful use" which would support a decrease in the offense level is sport or recreation.
We find support for our holding in the language of the guideline itself and in the language of guideline section 2K2.2, which sets the offense level for violations of the National Firearms Act.
Had the Sentencing Commission only used the term "intended lawful use" in defining the activity which would allow for a reduction, appellant's "any innocent use" argument may have had merit. However, the fact that the Commission chose to use the unambiguous language "solely for sport or recreation" in the guideline itself leads us to conclude that the Commission meant what it said, and that the only intended lawful use, which would allow a reduction when a felon possesses a firearm, would be sport or recreation. Furthermore, the language of guideline section 2K2.2(b)(3), which sets the offense level for receipt, possession or transportation of firearms in violation of the National Firearms Act, allows a reduction in the offense level "[i]f the defendant obtained or possessed the firearm solely for sport, recreation, or collection." The commentary to section 2K2.2 also uses the term "intended lawful use." The fact that the Commission extended the list of intended lawful uses which would allow a reduction to include "collection" under section 2K2.2, further convinces us that the Commission meant the language in the guideline to be an all-inclusive list. If the Commission had intended to allow for the reduction for any innocent possession, it would not have needed to add the use of "collecting" to the list of lawful uses in section 2K2.2.
For the foregoing reasons, the sentence imposed by the district court is AFFIRMED.
The guidelines have recently withstood these constitutional attacks. See Mistretta v. United States, --- U.S. ----, 109 S.Ct. 647, 102 L.Ed.2d 714 (1989) (separation of powers and delegation of authority issues); United States v. Allen, 873 F.2d 963 (6th Cir.1989) (due process issue)

A weekend of Medieval Fun and Revelry
September 7, 2011 angela 6 Comments
A couple of weeks ago, our town around the castle was transformed into a medieval village for la fête médiévale.
It happens every year during the third week-end of August and it helps that our town of Tarascon has a castle built in the early 1400's by René d'Anjou, or bon Roi René, Good King René, as he was known by his Provencal subjects and otherwise known as le Comte de Provence (he had many titles). The cars are diverted away from the castle, straw bales are delivered and scattered about, traffic signs are covered with camouflage netting and violà, you could be on a film set for Joan of Arc, whose story incidentally was the theme to this year's fête.
Jean of Arc maid of Orleans
And if you thought that the connection with Jeanne d'Arc, who never came to Provence, was a bit tenuous, you'd be mistaken. Jeanne d'Arc's mission, as I'm sure you all know, was to rid France of the English and put the Dauphin, later Charles VII on the throne. The Dauphin was married to Marie d'Anjou, who was the sister of René d'Anjou, (builder of our castle). It was René who introduced Jeanne d'Arc to the young Dauphin and rode beside her at the siege of Orleans (some say they may have been lovers, but that is probably medieval tittle tattle as it would suggest that she wasn't a virgin, which couldn't be right).
All this was re-enacted for us during the course of the festival in a medieval pageant, testing or adding to our knowledge of French history.
King Charles VII, his wife Marie d'Anjou, Le bon Roi Rene and various others
When not at war, or about the Court of Charles VII, Good King René was also a writer and a patron of the Arts. He wrote a detailed treatise on the rules and etiquette of the tournament called Forme et Devis d'un Tournay. He created an order of Chivalry called Ordre de Croissant, and in 1449 enacted Les Pas de Begères here in Tarascon, which involved tournaments between noblemen, dressed as shepherds, jousting for the honour of a noblewoman, dressed as a shepherdess (René's reputed lover at the time, seems he got about).
The winner got a kiss from the shepherdess, a gold stick and a diamond and after wards a huge banquet was laid on for the neighbouring noblemen and women who were served hedgehog, porcupine, stork and peacock prepared with exotic spices from the Orient. An enormous pâté in the shape of the castle was also served, which when cut, had rabbits, hares and birds leaping and flying from it to the sound of trumpets, fifes, horns and tambourines.
Well, I can't say that I have so far witnessed such a feast during the fête, but various tournaments did take place around the town with men demonstrating their jousting skils and dexterity on horseback.
le pas de begere
There was also a demonstration of falconry, a sport no doubt popular in René's time.

There were also manifestations of everyday medieval life provided by the traveling camp of medieval reenactors. They arrived on the Friday morning and set up their tents in the medieval village around the castle.
Cooking a medieval breakfast
They cooked with medieval implements and ate medieval food

There were medieval craft shops
Wooden swords for sale
In fact everything you might need to live a medieval life.
Medieval drinking vessels
A local restaurant provided a medieval roast.
Medieval spit
Everywhere you looked people were dressed in medieval clothing.
Medieval dandy, check out the boots
There was even a medieval executioner
There were medieval troubadours

Medieval bagpipes
A medieval goat

And sure enough, medieval line dancing

The festivities went on long into the night, with banquets, son et lumiere, celtic bands and fireworks and canon fire. It was quite a relief when it was all over and we could get back to normal life.
And if you think you recognise anyone from my photos of the fête de la tarasque,it is entirely possible.

Bunch of nutters if you ask me dressing up like that in 36 degrees. However each to their own!
Paul (GetMeCooking) says
Looks like a great event. I love things like this – especially the falconry
Bryde says
Brilliant, love the look of the medieval feast. Although the outfits are pretty hideous. . . . . .You could of had Medieval scotty dogs?
Julie Mautner says
That's it. I'm moving to Tarascon at once!
I am digging the dandy's very Vivienne Westwood-like boots. Angela, you are in Tarascon? I didn't know that you were so close! This was a fantastic post–but I hear you, we have the same shenanigans with Arelate and when it is over…whew.
This weekend is the Feria and the biggest party is taking place right below us. Au secours!

Un système de gestion des passagers (PSS :  en anglais), est un système informatique de nature critique utilisé par les compagnies aériennes. Le PSS est composé de plusieurs éléments qui gèrent la tarification, la réservation, la facturation et l'embarquement.

Description

Le module de réservation permet à une compagnie aérienne de vendre son inventaire (sièges). Il est composé principalement d'une base de données des horaires, des tarifs et des dossiers client (PNR, Passenger Name Record en anglais).

Le module d'inventaire est souvent intégré avec le module de réservation, mais peut aussi être indépendant. Il gère la mise en vente des sièges. La mise en vente est définie par des règles mathématiques de Yield management définis par la compagnie. Un siège peut être mis en vente en fonction du prix estimé par le système de gestion des revenus (RMS, Revenue Management System en anglais).

Le module de contrôle des départs (DCS, Departure Control System en anglais) est le système responsable de l'enregistrement, facturation et équilibrage du chargement de l'aéronef. Lors de l'enregistrement il communique avec le module de réservation ainsi qu'avec les systèmes informatiques des services de police et de l'immigration.

Do you have an active warrant for failure to appear (FTA) in court and now you think a bench warrant has been issued? Did someone file charges against you resulting in issuance of an Arrest Warrant?
Even minor offenses, like some traffic violations can result in the issuance of a bench warrant for your arrest. If you've moved and did not ever receive a notice for a court date, you will likely have a warrant issued for your arrest, even though you had no idea your appearance was required. In such cases, the defendant is unaware that a warrant exists and only learn of it when they are involved in a routine traffic stop or other routine contact with police. They are shocked when they learn they are under arrest and subsequently taken to jail. Bench warrants are also often issued if you fail to appear for any court proceeding, including those related to assault and battery, drug possession, probation violations or other crimes. Are you constantly looking over your shoulder or driving in another direction to avoid a police car? In most cases, Allan Rombro can quickly get your warrant recalled and get a new court date. Eliminating the warrant and obtaining a new court date puts you back in control of your case with no need to worry about dodging authorities.
Most people are surprised to learn that most criminal defense attorneys have little or no experience recalling bench warrants, arrest warrants or VOP warrants. The reason they won't share with you is simple. A warrant recall requires immediate action and for a relatively low fee. Most criminal defense lawyers will not prioritize the bench warrant client because it is not lucrative. This is a business decision and one that does not best serve the client in their most pressing time of need. Allan Rombro believes that when you are at risk of being arrested and put in jail, you deserve to have a lawyer act with the urgency necessary to eliminate your risk of arrest and imprisonment. As a result of this belief, Allan Rombro has very strong experience with the process required to get the documents completed precisely and have those documents on the judges desk immediately.
Q: Why do I have a bench warrant?
A: There are several reasons why there may be a bench warrant issued. If you were scheduled for a court date and missed your court date, the judge will issue a bench warrant. This is called Failure to Appear or FTA. An FTA almost always results in a bench warrant for your arrest.
Q: How do I get a bench warrant removed or a bench warrant quashed?
A: To have a bench warrant removed, you must take immediate action. You must hire a bench warrant attorney who knows exactly what to do to recall a bench warrant. Allan Rombro treats bench warrant cases as top priority. It is necessary to act immediately to prevent you from getting arrested at home, at school, at work or even during a routine traffic stop. Allan Rombro will act immediately to file a motion to have your bench warrant recalled. Only a bench warrant lawyer can properly and quickly take the steps to remove a bench warrant. A bench warrant in Maryland is serious. If you learn you have a Maryland bench warrant, call our office immediately. Your warrant becomes our top priority and we will prepare and file your motion the same day.
Q: How long does it take to remove a bench warrant?
A: The most important thing to having your Maryland bench warrant recalled is to act quickly. If you get arrested while you have an active bench warrant in Maryland, you will probably go to jail. Once this occurs, you can no longer try to remove the bench warrant. Do not wait to hire an experienced bench warrant lawyer in Maryland. Allan Rombro knows how to file a proper bench warrant and to ensure that the motion to quash the bench warrant is on the judges desk quickly. The process can take anywhere between one week and one month, but when you hire our office, you can expect your bench warrant will be processed very quickly.
An arrest for a serious crime creates a major challenge. It can threaten your lifestyle, your future and your freedom. To meet this challenge, representation by an experienced criminal defense lawyer is essential. Allan H. Rombro has represented clients accused of crimes since 1988. At the Law Offices of Allan H. Rombro, we believe that every person accused of a crime deserves experienced aggressive respresentation.

Q: Rank Mismatch error in TensorFlow concat I have been trying to make a simple 2 layered neural network. I studied the tensorflow api and official tutorials, I made the one layered model, but am having trouble in the neural network. Here is a section of my code that is causing the error:

I have used TensorFlow and Python 2.7. I am quite new to neural nets and machine learning so pardon me for any mistakes, thanks in advance.

A: In your example:

*

*tf_train_labels has shape [batch_size, num_labels]

*Therefore labels has shape [batch_size, 1, num_labels]

*indices has shape [batch_size, 1]
Therefore, when you write:
concated = tf.concat(1, [indices, tf.cast(labels,tf.int32)])

it throws an error, because the third dimension of labels and indices is different.  labels has a third dimension of size num_labels (presumably 10), and indices has no third dimension.

Tianjing-based vehicle onboard equipment and intelligent connected vehicle service provider Xintai Intelligent Automotive Technology (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (Xintai Intelligent, 蘑菇智行) has announced Friday the closure of the company's Series A round of funding led by Tencent, which raises USD 120 million, making the company another semi-unicorn in the automobile sector.
The funding, which is the company's only financing round since its foundation from November 2017, values the company at USD 480 million, making it a semi-unicorn. Other investors of the funding round include JD.com, Bertelsmann Asia Investments (BAI), Yixin Investments, and Heimazongheng.
Xintai Intelligent is a technology-driven and user-oriented intelligent connected vehicle service provider, the company's vision is to provide users with more convenient, faster, and more intelligent new driving lifestyle, according to its website.
Xintai Inteliigent has released its new intelligent connected vehicle equipment and onboard vehicle operating system, the Mogu Intelligent Driving. The system is shown as a wide onboard screen and in-vehicle cameras on the front and rear part of the car. The operating system features with artificial intelligence based voice control and precise mapping and navigating system.
The main investors, Tencent and JD.com, are both internet giants in China, the former has dominated the social media market and the latter is one of the biggest E-commerce company in China. And also JD.com is backed by Tencent by investment. It's clear that Tencent, and even JD.com, are trying to take a share of the spoils of China's emerging new energy vehicle and intelligent driving market.
"The trends of automobile and technology industries recent years show that people are trying to make cars smarter, that's the reason why we are here," says ZHU Lei (朱磊), the co-founder and CEO of Xintai Intelligent. "The core reason for the development of technology is to serve the customers and boost the industry. Xintai Intelligent will continue to provide more convenient and considerate service for every single user based on their needs."
Zhu Lei was once chairman of the Ethics Committee of Baidu, China's search engine giant, and worked as the vice president of Didi Chuxing and the chief technology officer of BitAuto, one of China's largest automotive e-commerce companies, according to public information.

Visit Sepia Scenes for Great Photography!
Sunflowers are native to North and Central America, domesticated maybe 4,000 years ago, commercialized in Russia, come as annuals and perennials, and range from a couple inches to around a dozen feet. The giant flower is actually many flowerettes comprising a 'head' or ' composite flower'. Amazing flowers!!

Sunflowers been particularly abundant this spring, never thought of them for a speia project. Very lovely.
Great photo as always, love the detail in it!
Thanks all! It did surprise me how well a sunflower worked out. Sepia is so neat!

Sensible approach to urban development bodes well for wider planning system
Urban development will be better enabled by the newly established Housing and Urban Development Authority, says the Employers and Manufacturers Association (EMA).
The EMA's chief executive Kim Campbell says, "The approach is a good one to speed up the brownfields development in cities where we need to keep up with population growth.
"Many of the powers of the new Authority, eg, compulsory acquisition of land, already exist in the planning system but this Authority has greater power and an approach that allows it to speed up decision-making on developments.
"This will better provide communities with good transport links and other infrastructure to create well-planned and liveable environments.
"The key to the success of the Authority will be in the quality of governors appointed to run it - expected to be operating in 2020.
"The Authority will be able to over-ride existing planning law and consent its own plans and complete developments in shortened time periods, which requires a genuine consultative approach with existing communities.
"If development is managed properly, people requiring 'affordable housing' will not be displaced from their communities so that fears of gentrification need not be a problem.
"Urban Development Authorities operate very successfully overseas to speed up the provision of housing and infrastructure, attract private investment and provide new design thinking that we need.
"We welcome this new model but its creation also highlights shortfalls in our wider resource management system, including urban planning. The re-write of that must continue while the Authority provides immediate relief to the urban housing crisis," Mr Campbell says.

Equipment doesn't last forever. Regular maintenance is one of the major factors that extend both the economic life of equipment and the time between failures of that equipment. The maintenance required for one piece of equipment in one situation can be quite different from another situation.
There is a well documented fault performance curve that lots of products follow. The bathtub curve is widely used in reliability engineering.
The bathtub curve is created by mapping the 3 curves together: the rate of early "infant mortality" failures when first introduced, the rate of random failures with constant failure rate during its "useful life", and finally the rate of "wear out" failures as the product exceeds its design lifetime.
Replacing flexible conduit and cables on a pivot which stock have chewed on during the winter.
All too often electrical failure brings with it a chance of fire damage.
Fires and unscheduled downtime can cost you hundreds to thousands per hour. Many of these electrical fires could be avoided by correcting poor design, workmanship, and faulty components long before they become a serious problem. Thermal Imaging takes a picture and shows you where the "hot spots" or loose connections are so they can be corrected. These "hot spots" are not visible to the human eye. Thermal Imaging detects hot spots as the temperature caused by these loose connections.

Q: Infinite sums - order of terms say we had an infinite sum $ \displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n $ where $ a_n  = \dfrac{1}{2}  +1 + \dfrac{1}{8} + \dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{1}{32} + ... $ this is obviously a rearrangment of $\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty \dfrac{1}{2^n} $ but does the order of the sum matter? I know by the general theorem that as $\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty \dfrac{1}{2^n} $ converges absolutely then any rearrangement also converges to the same sum - but how would I go to prove that $a_n$ converges WITHOUT using that theorem? e.g. using the root test
also, why is it for some sums - the order matters, while others it does not

A: If a series involves only positive (or at least non-negative) terms, then any rearrangement of the series has the same limit in the sum. One way to prove this is to note that if $a_n \ge 0$ for all $n$, then
$$\sum\limits_{n = 0}^{\infty} a_n = \sup_{A \text{ finite}} \sum_{n \in A} a_n$$

To prove that this series converges directly, however, note that we can just compute
\begin{align*}
1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{32} + \frac{1}{16} + \dots &= \frac{2}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{2}{8} + \frac{2}{32} + \frac{1}{32} + \dots \\
&= \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{8} + \frac{3}{32} + \dots \\
&= \frac{3}{2} \left(1 + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{16} + \dots \right) \\
&= \frac{3}{2} \frac{1}{1 - \frac{1}{4}} \\
&= 2
\end{align*}
where we've used a geometric series.


Located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Mount Rushmore is an enduring and timeless symbol of America. This popular tourist attraction contains massive sculptures of four of our greatest presidents. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum began work on the famous mountainside carvings in 1927, completing the project in 1941 after many delays and setbacks.
Mount Rushmore serves as a terrific spark for a discussion on American history. Borglum selected each president to represent a particular facet of the American story. Before you visit the monument, you can discuss with your child the role each of these presidents played in his time.
George Washington was chosen to represent the nation's birth. Thomas Jefferson, who oversaw the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, is a symbol of expansion. Abraham Lincoln was chosen as a preserver of the nation for his leadership during the Civil War. Finally, Theodore Roosevelt symbolizes the development of the United States, including his role in promoting the Panama Canal.
Aside from admiring the beautiful sculptures, there is a great deal your child can study and learn while on site at Mount Rushmore. There are numerous educational displays that show how the massive undertaking was completed. Up close and in person, it's fascinating to see how challenging of a task it was to carve the faces into the mountain.
In addition to the sculpture, Mount Rushmore provides scientific teaching moments related to the local area of the Black Hills. This region of South Dakota is at the intersection of mountains and plains, which results in a highly diverse environment. Your child can be on the lookout for local wildlife, including bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer and mountain lions.
The area has also been affected by the pine beetle infestation that plagues many regions in the country. Trees that have been attacked by pine beetles are easy to spot because they're quickly killed by the beetles, turning them brown amidst the green forest. This infestation provides a learning opportunity regarding the cycles forests endure and the far-reaching impact a small insect species can have on a massive area.
The ride home from Mount Rushmore may be a time to discuss the legacies of the four presidents carved into the mountain. You can talk about what each one did to deserve such an honor. You may also want to discuss how their roles in history differ from each other. For example, Lincoln focused internally on keeping the nation whole, while Jefferson took advantage of an opportunity to massively expand the nation beyond its borders.
There are myriad other discussion topics that can spring from a trip to Mount Rushmore. For example, there have been occasional rumors of a fifth president being added to the mountain. You may ask your child which president might be appropriate and why. Would your child recommend Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the longest serving president who led us during the Great Depression and World War II, or Barack Obama, our first African American president? This discussion can help your child see the sculpture as less of a relic of the past and more as a living object.


Dr. Bob McCauley's BLOG - 7 Components of Great Health!
My hero Dr. Bernard Jensen wrote a book called the chemistry of man. It is one of the best books explaining how minerals are used in the body. He tells us in there about the major minerals and how their use throughout the body. So I decided to come up with this mnemonic device so we could remember it more easily.
The five major minerals are sodium, calcium, iodine, magnesium, and potassium, sodium alkalizes the body. Calcium is for our bones. Iodine is for oxygen. Magnesium is for muscles. Potassium is for the brain. SCIMP and ABOMB.

How Can I Become A Vegetarian?
If you want to become a vegan then stop eating meat, fish, eggs and dairy.
Replace those with chlorella and spirulina, two types of algae and the most powerful foods in the world. They are 60% protein. Take a small handful ( 10 – 12 tabs) of spirulina and/or chlorella tablets with any meal and that's all the protein you need for that meal. Period. That's how to get started.
Coca-cola: Not an evil corporation, just misguided. McDonald's: Not an evil corporation, just misguided. Monsanto: Evil corporation. There are companies that do things that are harmful to people and they know not which they do. And then there are companies that invent things like glyphosate, Roundup, they know exactly what they have and they continue to produce it and poison the world. glyphosate, Roundup is one of the most insidious products ever invented in human history and should be avoided at all costs. The human body sees phosphate and thinks it is glycine. Instead, phosphate is being absorbed into the body as glycine and it is making untold numbers of people sick, ill, disease with every kind of ailment you can think of. Monsanto: evil Corporation.
Roundup kills. Roundup is killing people as we speak. Spray that one your dandelions.
It has long been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. This sounds to me quite a lot like the pharmaceutical industry which is really no more than around a hundred years old. They started out decades ago trying to cure diseases to science. Anybody who challenges that is accused of standing in the way of progress. The cure for all diseases is found in nature.
Why are we looking in the laboratory. Why are we creating Statin drugs? 20 years ago Stanton drugs were supposed to save the world and cure cancer. Now they have been shown to cause serious side effects, as all drugs do, and now we're being taken off the market one by one. There are lawsuits going against the manufacturers of Statin drugs. What is the definition of insanity? Take a good long look at the pharmaceutical industry and in there you will find your answers.
Acetic acid is the main ingredient in Apple Cider Vinegar that makes it so healthy. The pH of Acetic Acid and Hydrochloric Acid is exactly the same: 2.5. The pH of Apple Cider Vinegar is 5.0. Only consume ACV with the MOTHER.
Apple Cider Vinegar has been used for thousands of years as a digestive aid. Hippocrates – the father of medicine – prescribed it as a way to improve health. Acetic acid is the predominant nutrient that gives vinegar its many health benefits.
Dr. Bob's Apple Cider Vinegar improves skin and hair health. It can help relieve acid reflux, gas and bloating. It can even be used as a natural deodorant and relief from sun ravaged skin.
Suggested Use: Take 1 TBSP (15mL) pure or mixed with honey, maple syrup, stevia and tea.
The blood is NOT an accurate measure of body pH. Our blood's pH is always 7.25 – 7.45. Body pH can only be measured through the urine.
moving average and an accurate measurement of your body's pH.
Hydrochloric acid (gastic acid) helps digest proteins by activating digestive enzymes.
Are the benefits of fish oil a scam?
Why eat fish oil when you can get the essential fatty oil from algae they are getting it from. Fish are just a middleman when it comes to nutrients.
Hypertension, abnormally high blood pressure, results in hardening and thickening of the arteries, which can possibly lead to serious heart issues in the future. Long-term high blood pressure is a major risk factor for a plethora of diseases.
PRESSURE RELIEF is a collection of herbal extracts known to lower – or relieve – the pressure our blood can exert on our arteries, veins and capillaries.
Deep breathing exercises are also an important part in helping to relieve the pressure our blood exerts on the body.
Try this exercise: Breathe in as deeply as possible with your arms out and chest out. Do NOT hold your breath, but try not to release for a minute, then slowly release it. Do this for 5 minutes daily in order to lower your blood pressure.
Ingredients: Olive Leaf Extract, Celery Seed Extract, Hawthorn Extract, Schisandra Extract, Black Pepper Extract.
Now you see it oh, now you don't. The documentary, the root cause, was quietly taken down from Netflix, and other platforms. Quietly is the word that we use to see it go from Netflix, but I'm sure the American Dental Association, ADA, was not quiet in their condemnation in legal threats against Netflix and other platforms that were showing the documentary.
The American Dental Association, ADA, American Association of endodontist and American Dental research Association said take it down so they took it down immediately. If there was really something wrong with this documentary they should have refuted the facts. They should have ridiculed it. They should have shown where the documentary was wrong. Instead they just demanded it be taken down. Pretty fishy. The Ada is the same organization that gives us fluoride in our drinking water whether we want it or not and then tells us it's great for us. This is the same organization that tells us that mercury fillings are okay to put into are teeth in our mouths and yet it is listed as a hazard by the FDA so the Ada no longer endorse is it. The health information Nazis have reared their ugly heads and they won this time.
Netflix began carrying the film 1 January 2019, and it soon met opposition from the American Dental Association (ADA), American Association of Endodontists (AAE) and American Association of Dental Research (AADR).
In a letter dated 29 January, the ADA, AAE and AADR wrote that continuing to host the film on their platform could harm the viewing public by spreading misinformation about safe medical treatments like root canals.
hese associations also sent similar letters to Apple, Amazon and Vimeo, which also carried the film. As of this publication date, the film is still available for purchase or streaming on these three sites.
Joe Rogan had Dr. Shawn Baker on his podcast to discuss the carnivore diet. This is a diet where people only eat meat. People report losing weight and during their bodies of autoimmune disease. The question is weather this diet is healthy or not.
I do not believe it is if you have to listen to anything I have said or written. The two greatest foods in the world are chlorella and spirulina in the best diet is a vegan raw food diet. An all meat diet is like the Atkins diet, just a diet that removes carbohydrates completely. This is not healthy since it throws the body into ketosis. Ketosis is not healthy.
Joe Rogan is a former MMA announcer and Famous for his career in mixed martial arts. He now runs a podcast called the Joe Rogan Experience which is one of the most popular podcast in the world. He had Mikhaila Peterson on his show talking bout the Carnivore Diet.
Pharmaceutical drugs exist for one reason and that is not to make us healthier. That is the claim and that is the aim of the of the scientists that are hired to make drugs. But what is the real purpose of pharmaceuticals? Pharmaceuticals exist exclusively for one reason.
Yes they control the symptoms of disease such as high blood pressure, but at what cost? Pharmaceuticals exist solely so we can continue to eat the foods that make us sick. That's the bottom line. If you change your diet your body to heal itself of any disease.


Formerly of the Finnish power metal Show Me How To Die monster Battle Beast, lead guitarist Anton Kabanen founded Beast in Black in 2015. Gathering Greek vocalist Yannis Papadopoulos (Wardrum), Kasperi Heikkinen on rhythm guitar (Amberian Dawn, U.D.O), bassist Mate Molnar (Wisdom) and Sami Hänninen their 2017 debut Berserker raised more than a few ripples. Returning with 'that difficult second album' and Atte Palokangas on drums, they seem to have upped their 80's kitsch level exponentially! In so doing, creating quite possibly one of the most uplifting albums to be released this year. Growing their fanbase even further with their Nightwish support slot in late 2018, then dropping this beast of euphoric-euro-power-metal a matter of weeks later – 2019 may well be the year for Beast in Black.
Each and every track is epic in its delivery and I grinned for the entirety of the album. No one needs hear of my dancing on repeated listens. But I dare you, yes YOU to keep still while listening. There are synths, blistering guitar solos with majestic sweeps and dives, throbbing bass, solid melodies, disco beats and high pitched male vocals. We're talking Kiss's I Was Made For Loving You disco, rather than Jackson 5 or the Bee Gees. Seriously, this is marvelous, the best elements of 80's retro metal combined with modern rock sensibilities and production. Think Kenny Loggins meets Judas Priest!
Repentless is the most fast paced and brutal of the tracks and the vocal delivery is far more aggressive with a fantastic, staccato style of chorus delivery. Die By The Blade could have easily appeared on an early Bon Jovi album (melodically, certainly not lyrically), the keyboards are sublime with wailing vocals and guitars. Now every 80's rock album worth its salt has its power ballad, I used to often skip through or try to ignore this (skipping a track on a cassette used to be far harder, but I could be very dedicated to the cause.) Oceandeep, the midpoint song is the longest of tracks and should not be ignored. Opening with elegant and poignant flutes in an epic Highlander soundtrack style, accompanied by a the dulcet tones of a finger-picked acoustic guitar, synth swells and a hint of tubular bells. Softly sang, with a chorus of monumental proportions and a percussive heartbeat, the song builds to a captivating and staggering high before gently setting you back to earth. Then we're back to Survivor-style anthemic power rock with a four to the floor beat, for Unlimited Sin. True Believer has a Hot Butter, Popcorn vibe, which mutates into a bombastic rock track that would enhance any movie.
This Is War with its cheeky reference to Battle Beast rocks hard and solidly in a Manowar-esque style. The keyboards take a backseat for a flute based bridge and guitar orientated melody. Heart Of Steel feels as though there's a Rocky film just begging to be made to utilise the magnificence of this track. No Surrender closes the album on a speedy power metal high that left me wanting more. Lucky there is such a thing as autoplay these days!
