Neural mechanisms underlying human consensus decision-making
Shinsuke Suzuki, Ryo Adachi, Simon Dunne, Peter Bossaerts, John P. O'Doherty
Consensus building in a group is a hallmark of animal societies, yet little is known about its underlying computational and neural mechanisms. Here, we applied a computational framework to behavioral and fMRI data from human participants performing a consensus decision-making task with up to fiveother participants. We found that participants reached consensus decisions through integrating their own preferences with information about the majority group members' prior choices, as well as inferences about how much each option was stuck to by the other people. These distinct decision variables were separately encoded in distinct brain areas-the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, posterior superior temporal sulcus/temporoparietal junction, and intraparietal sulcus-and were integrated in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex. Our findings provide support for a theoretical account in which collective decisions are made through integrating multiple types of inference about oneself, others, and environments, processed in distinct brain modules.

Phil Spector – "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling"
Posted by Olivier Long, Apr 14, 2009 • Blog
Phil Spector's conviction In Los Angeles on April 13, 2009 of murdering actress Lana Clarkson is a reminder to assess facts objectively at the outset of litigation. If Spector had compared obvious facts to his own hubris, he might have pled guilty and received less than the 18-year minimum sentence he now faces.
Here are the circumstances Spector should have realistically considered:
1. He was 68, wealthy and famous; while Clarkson was 40 and neither of those things. In what mediators call a "power imbalance", it is highly unlikely Clarkson would have gone home alone straight from work for the first time with a man that much older except for the attraction of his fortune and notoriety.
2. This was a first date; they had met hours earlier at the House of Blues, where Clarkson was working a waitress and Spector started a conversation.
3. According to trial testimony, Spector had for decades mixed alcohol with threats against women.
4. After Spector and Clarkson had been drinking for hours; Clarkson received a bullet from his gun.
5. Clarkson was shot in the mouth in the foyer of Spector's mansion.
6. Women who commit suicide usually do not use guns; do not kill themselves in front of someone they are going out with for the first time; do not shoot themselves in the mouth; and do not choose to die in the entryway of someone else's home. Suggesting that Clarkson was doing all these things – with no suicide note and in the presence of a virtual stranger – was inherently implausible.
7. Spector tried unsuccessfully to clean up the scene. People who are innocent spectators usually do not try to cover up evidence.
8. Spector's driver quoted him as emerging from his home and saying "I think I killed somebody". That does not sound like an outdoor fountain or the words "call somebody", as the defense tried to suggest.
9. A previous trial ended in a hung jury, 10-2. Hello, Phil? Are you paying attention? You narrowly escaped in the first go-round. How could you reasonably believe you would "dodge the bullet" a second time?

What an exciting year 2018 was! Action packed events and flashy product releases across the world. No, I am not quite referring to the release of the new Avengers movie and its links to other Marvel movies! That being said, Marvel enthusiasts among our readership may have worked out the role of quantum entanglement between the fictional characters which enable them to communicate across large distances. While you can probably hear physicists cringing at the ease with which matter seems entangled in the marvel multiverse (doesn't happen quite so easily in our universe), it is this very principle (with a couple of other lovely quantum features….read blog here to learn more) that a fast growing number of researchers and engineers use for quantum information processing.
Quantum technologies R&D has now attained critical mass which is reflected in waves of R&D funding being sanctioned by several countries across the world. 2018 was particularly a key year for quantum technology R&D in Europe with launch the billion Euro quantum flagship project in which Oxford Instruments are excited to participate. Just before the new year began, we also heard great news from the US Senate where they decided to invest $1.2 Billion in a national quantum technology initiative. If you are thinking all this research money will essentially go into writing a bunch of Hamiltonians on a board, think again because there are some bold and innovating moves being made by the giants of the semiconductor industry to reduce barrier to access quantum computers and in turn generate innovative ideas on how it could be used. We are looking forward to a great 2019 for Quantum technology and are ready to enable these efforts through our state-of-art instrumentation, characterization and fabrication tools!
Another highlight from 2018 was the launch of some incredibly powerful smart phones. Yes indeed I am referring to the likes of the apple Iphone X and Huawei who launched devices powered by 7 nm node chips! That's about 6.9 Billion transistors working in harmony processing data from all the sensors and performing machine learning in real time to give us an experience that we would have considered science fiction even 15-20 years ago. One particularly impressive sensor which has proliferated across smartphones offered by several companies now is the 3D facial recognition sensor array. The beautiful piece of engineering that evolved over the last 15 years consists of an array of vertically emitting lasers called VCSELS that bounce off facial features and "recognize" its owner. Fabrication of these lasers involve several layers of material processing and manufacturers across the globe are using our solutions for producing VCSELs. This market continues to grow in 2019 and we hope to see a good percentage of smart phones to hold VCSELs fabricated using Oxford Instruments technology.
A striking feature in such data comm. and telecom devices is the fact that they are already 5G ready. Reports from CES 2019 that concluded last week showed that 5G was one of the hottest topics and its arrival is imminent. One of the challenges of today's semiconductor-based technologies is the challenge of fabrication and limitation of performance at speeds beyond 5G. In 2018 Graphene emerged as potential contender to overcome these limitations in performance of key components for optical and radio communications. We are extremely proud to be supporting some of the key technology hubs for the scale up of these devices and hope to work with a lot more in 2019. Applications for these devices go beyond communications. They are expected to play a key role in sensors for several IOT based applications such as gas and bio sensing.
A rapidly growing application space for connected sensors is in healthcare. Advances in fabrication technology and its adaptation to biomedical devices has matured to the stage we start seeing some interesting devices breaking into the market. One such device is the continuous glucose monitoring technology that is being commercialised by companies such as Medtronic and a few others for diabetes care. There are a several such devices targeting a myriad of biological activity at different levels of readiness, some of which highlighted at the medical MEMS event in Santa Clara last year. 2019 is looking extremely promising in terms of the demand and activity of biomedical or lab on chip devices with some exciting technologies steadily reaching maturity such as nanopore DNA sequencing and integrated photonics-based biosensors. Over the last 2 years we have invested significant effort in developing our understanding and capability of solutions for a wide range of biomedical devices.
2018 has therefore delivered significant advancements towards a fully connected world that benefits from the data and communication of millions of sensors. As you can imagine this will lead to continuous increase in data traffic and storage. Increase in communications speeds and decrease in latencies will also further reduce barriers and spur innovation via network access to quantum computers and improving reliability of autonomous decision-making sensors in automotive, aviation, manufacturing and several other industries. We cannot wait to see what 2019 has in store for us. Here's wishing you an immensely successful new year and look forward to working with you through our highly innovative and reliable solutions for your R&D and production needs.

GFXZone - the ultimate demo scene graphics site!
GFXZone was founded by 3D Addict in late 1996 as a small section of a personal home page. The idea was to create a small demo scene graphics gallery, to show off some of the best scene art on the web. With time, GFXZone grew bigger and expanded from being a small gallery, to be the biggest demo scene graphics site of its time on the net. With the help of NDK, GFXZone blossomed until 2004.
Today, ArtCity has taken over this job and will continue the presentation of demoscene art and art by demosceners as long as possible. How ArtCity came to live and the process of creating it can be read here. No GFXZone graphics are lost. The complete picture archive is secure and will be added / has already been added to the ArtCity database and the GFXZone url will lead to ArtCity in the future. If you were a regular visitor, a suppoter or in any other way related to GFXZone in the past, we, the ArtCity Staff, invite you to continue the journey GFXZone started in 1996 at ArtCity today.

Q: How to tune the Red Bull X2010 to make easier to drive? I'm trying to do the Special Seasonal Event with the Red Bull X2010, that GT5 send for the win of Sebastian Vettel.
I've found that this car is very hard to drive for me, and after several laps, all the times are worse than the third time, and also are invalid (because I went out of the track).
What can I do to make this car easier to drive?
(Apart of practice a lot, of course)

A: If you increase the downforce front and rear this should make the car a lot more stable.
Adjusting the limited-slip differential can also make a significant difference to the car's handling. I found increasing the settings helped a lot, particularly accelerating out of low-speed corners.

A: You can set the simulation (TCS, ASM, skid recovery, controller sensitivity etc). You could set the power limiter to get a less peaky engine response and lower max power. Use the stickiest tires you can. The usual.
But there probably isn't any magic to be done. The fantasy X car already handles incredibly well. It's just insanely fast. You need to learn how it handles, what speed you can take through different corners, what kind of line lets you keep the sped (and df) high in this car etc. Never go off the track :)
Like with the Escudo, you can always shortshift massively to avoid being at top revs when you're not doing maximum straight-line acceleration. There's still a huge amount of power at lower rev range, but it'll be a little more tame and you won't have to time the shifts very carefully.
You might be able to save a B-spec lap and yours on the same track and compare your driving to Bob's. See if there's some spots where you lose a lot of time. Eventually the trick will be inhuman precision and zen driving rhythm.
Doing an endurance event with it will get you practice :)

Before the existence of online casino games, people prefer to try all the relevant interesting and adventurous games but now the scenario has been completely changed. Everybody wants to try real money games in order to earn money and enjoying their incredible features.
Online casino games or gambling is any form of game which is played using a computer or other electronic portable devices that can provide the opportunity of earning real money without visiting the club or other places for continuing the game. The person who plays such games or gambles with the sites are known as 'online gamblers', these games have been regulated in the same way as real ones and the odds are usually identical or similar.
The main reason behind the popularity of virtual casino is the convenience which the player gets for continuing the game using internet and technologies, sitting from the home or another comfortable place. They don't need to travel facing the crowd for reaching the club or casino spot.
Selecting a particular site allows the player to enjoy all the games available over the respective gaming site. For instance, if someone deals with Poker site then they get the advantage of enjoying all the games like a card game, slot game, roulette and other real money games with the single subscription.
A land-based casino would usually require the payments to be made through the limited mode of payments for the chips (mostly the cash), an online casino accepts all the modes like credit, debit card, and even the PayPal. There are also variables available for no deposit bonus games where one can start playing without making a prior deposit.
Now an interested candidate would have to wait no longer for a club or casino opened within their area of reaching, online casino games have removed all kinds of geographical borders for the players. They have the facility to continue from any corner of the world with simply signing up over the preferred site.
The casino industries are often referred to as 'the gaming industry' that covers the casino venues as well. Due to the incredible features and opportunity to earn money, people love to visit online sites and play well.


Could a scheme for licensing smokers work in Australia?
In this article, we evaluate the possible advantages and disadvantages of a licensing scheme that would require adult smokers to verify their right to purchase tobacco products at point of sale using a smart-card licence. A survey of Australian secondary school students conducted in 2011 found that half of 17-year-old smokers and one-fifth of 12-year-old smokers believed it was easy or very easy to purchase cigarettes themselves. Reducing tobacco use by adolescents now is central to the future course of the current epidemic of tobacco-caused disease, since most current adult smokers began to smoke as adolescents - at a time when they were unable to purchase tobacco lawfully. The requirement for cigarette retailers to reconcile all stock purchased from wholesalers against a digital record of retail sales to licensed smokers would create a robust incentive for retailers to comply with laws that prohibit tobacco sales to children. Foreseeable objections to introducing a smokers licence need to be taken into account, but once we move beyond the shock of the new, it is difficult to identify anything about a smokers licence that is particularly offensive or demeaning. A smoker licensing scheme deserves serious consideration for its potential to dramatically curtail retailers' violation of the law against selling tobacco to minors, to impose stricter accountability for sale of a uniquely harmful drug and to allow intelligent use of information about smokers' purchases to help smokers quit.

Q: Biased and fair coin in Hat flipped Two coins are in a hat. The coins look alike, but one coin is fair (with probability 1/2 of Heads), while the other coin is biased, with probability 1/4 of Heads. One of the coins is randomly pulled from the hat, without knowing which of the two it is. Call the chosen coin "Coin A".
Find the probability that in 10 flips of Coin A, there will be exactly 3 Heads.
PROPOSED SOLUTION:

P(H) = P(H|Fair)*P(Fair)  +  P(H|Biased)*P(Biased) = 1/2*1/2 + 1/8*1/2 =
  3/8
P(T) = 1 - P(H) = 1 - 3/8 = 5/8
Now, P(3H in 10 flips) = (10C3)((3/8)^3)((5/8)^7) = 0.236

However the answer is given as 0.184.
Can anybody help understand the error in above approach. Thanks

A: You calculated the probability for the experiment in which ten times a coin is drawn from the hat, tossed and replaced. The question is about the experiment in which a single coin is drawn from the hat and tossed ten times.
If the difference is still not clear, first consider the easier case of $2$ tosses instead of $10$.

A: $P( \texttt{3 Heads}) = P(\texttt{3 Heads|fair})P(\texttt{fair}) + P(\texttt{3 Heads|biased})P(\texttt{biased})$
$=1/2\cdot{10\choose 3}\cdot(1/2)^3\cdot(1/2)^7 + 1/2\cdot{10\choose 3}\cdot (1/4)^3\cdot (3/4)^7$
$=0.184$

The Nebraska Coalition for Ethical Research (NCER) opposes the use of human fetal tissue or cells derived from induced abortions. Such use involves complicity with the immoral act of abortion and violates the principle of informed consent. NCER supports the use of human fetal tissue derived from naturally occurring deaths such as miscarriages, stillbirths, or ectopic pregnancies.
The process of obtaining and processing fetal tissue from induced abortions for use in research begins at the abortion facility, which may be an abortion clinic, private physician's office, or hospital. Before or immediately after an abortion, the mother must sign a consent form for the use of tissue or cells from her fetus. The fetal tissue must then be immediately transported fresh to the research lab or processed so that the tissue or cells do not die. The processing of the tissue may differ depending on the intended use or experiment to be carried out. Some fetal tissue may be delivered directly to the research lab. Otherwise, it may be sent to a human fetal tissue supply organization, which then distributes the fetal tissue to researchers.
In basic and preclinical research to learn more about cellular differentiation and function.
In clinical research, such as implantation of fetal brain tissue or cells into the brain of a patient with Parkinson's disease.
In the laboratory as a culture medium, for example, to aid in the development of stem cell lines or to grow viruses for clinical and research purposes.
Researchers using fetal tissue hope that it will one day prove effective for the treatment of various diseases. However, alternative tissue sources for the treatment of disease are currently available, such as umbilical cord blood cells or adult cells. Furthermore, there is little compelling evidence that fetal or embryonic tissues are superior to these alternative sources.
Research using fetal tissue from induced abortions is wrong because it involves complicity with the immoral act of abortion and violates the principle of informed consent.
Every genetically human organism is a human being. Human embryos and fetuses are human beings in their earliest stages of development.
Every human being has a right to life. Abortion constitutes the deliberate destruction of a prenatal human being.
Every human being at each developmental stage is of equal value to every other human being and, therefore, is an end to be loved, not a means to be used for another's end. Fetal tissue research from induced abortions treats the fetus as an object valued only for its parts. The argument that the aborted fetus is "already dead" or that "some good should come from the abortion" is to rationalize the destruction of a fetal human being for the possible benefit of another human being.
Use of fetal tissue from induced abortion constitutes complicity with abortion. The nature of research requires that fetal tissue be available from abortions in an ongoing and prearranged manner. To assure a steady supply of living fetal tissue, the researcher must collaborate directly with the abortionist or indirectly through a fetal tissue supply organization. The researcher thereby supports, or at least accepts, the abortions necessary for his/her research.
Research involving human subjects requires that proxy consent can be given only if the research does not harm the subject. Research may not be performed on human subjects before or after death without valid consent. But who can consent to the research use of fetal tissue from an induced abortion? The prenatal human being who will be destroyed by the abortion cannot give consent. Nor can the mother of the fetus rightfully give consent: she cannot authorize the intentional destruction of an innocent human being and claim at the same time to represent the best interests of her fetus by then donating the tissue to research.
The goal of research involving human subjects is to serve humanity by relieving suffering and curing disease. Research using fetal tissue from induced abortions involves the deliberate destruction, dismemberment, and dissection of a prenatal human being. It is wrong to pursue research that benefits from the continued deliberate destruction of human beings, even to relieve the suffering of others.
Failure to protect embryonic and fetal human life, the most vulnerable of human beings, erodes the moral foundation of our society. Fetal tissue research from induced abortions does not accord prenatal human beings the protection that is their due as human subjects of research. Since respect for human life is a cornerstone of civilization, such fetal tissue research will weaken the moral foundation of our society.
In 1988, the Reagan Administration put a moratorium on federal funding of research involving the transplantation of fetal tissue obtained from induced abortions. This moratorium was continued by the Bush Administration and was in place until January of 1993 when President Clinton rescinded it with an executive order. That same year, Congress enacted a law allowing federal funding for the transplantation of fetal tissue from induced abortions under certain circumstances. For example, tissue may be harvested only after the embryo or fetus is dead, a woman's consent to the harvesting of tissue may be obtained only after she has decided on an abortion, and no change may be made in the timing and method of an abortion to meet researcher's needs. The 1993 law also explicitly removes the authority from the President and his appointees to block the funding of fetal tissue transplantation research.
Your position paper confirmed for me my decision to abstain from voting on a research protocol involving this last week in a committee meeting. Thank you.
Bill – thank you for your post and support of ethics in research.

Many people have heard of Sir Isaac Newton. He is famous for developing many scientific theories in mathematics and physics. Newton described how 'normal' liquids or fluids behave, and he observed that they have a constant viscosity (flow). This means that their flow behaviour or viscosity only changes with changes in temperature or pressure. For example, water freezes and turns into a solid at 0˚C and turns into a gas at 100˚C. Within this temperature range, water behaves like a 'normal' liquid with constant viscosity.
Typically, liquids take on the shape of the container they are poured into. We call these 'normal liquids' Newtonian fluids. But some fluids don't follow this rule. We call these 'strange liquids' non-Newtonian fluids.
The viscosity ( how "runny" a fluid is) of a non-Newtonian fluid depends on things such as the stress, or pressure applied to them. This means that a quick change in the pressure applied to such a fluid might change its viscosity.
This is the reason that explains the formation of these cornflour "creatures" . Corn starch is a shear thickening non-Newtonian fluid meaning that it becomes more viscous when it is disturbed. The changes in pressure created by the sound vibrations change the viscosity of the fluid, and the result is fantastic. Check it out here.
Another classic example is Mr. Tickle walking on custard.

In a recent Aussie survey, we found out that three in five (61%) home buyers think getting a home loan through a mortgage broker will cost them more because of the commission mortgage brokers get paid. No, no, no!
This is one myth that absolutely needs to be busted.
Most mortgage brokers don't charge you for their time. But like all businesses they need to make money somehow so they can continue to operate.
Mortgage brokers typically make their money through commissions which are paid by the lender you choose. The commission is normally a very small percentage of the loan you take out. It is not added to your loan or paid by you in any way, and it doesn't affect the interest rate or fees you pay for your mortgage.
In fact, a mortgage broker can save you money, and in several ways.
First, a mortgage broker can help you find a loan with a lower interest rate. Even a small difference in interest rate can save you thousands of dollars over the life of a home loan. Your mortgage broker can even ask your current lender to give you a better rate.
A mortgage broker can share with you basic strategies to help you pay off your home loan sooner, such as make fortnightly repayments instead of monthly repayments, or put savings in an offset or redraw account to reduce the interest charged on your home loan.
Mortgage brokers intimately know lenders and their products. This means they know which lenders have special offers and which lenders have no fees or low fees, which can also save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
While there may be a very small minority of brokers who try to charge an upfront fee for their service, this is the exception and not the rule. Your mortgage broker should explain their fee or commission structure to you upfront but if they don't, just ask them!
TIP! Visit your bank and find out what they will offer you. Then, make an appointment with an accredited mortgage broker to get a second opinion. By comparing the two you should be able to see for yourself that mortgage brokers are actually all about saving you money, not costing you money.
Don't forget to check out myth 1, myth 2,myth 3 and myth 4.

Album of the Week, Album Reviews
Horrendous : Anareta
Horrendous is a young band that echoes an old sound. That's the reductive way to look at it, but at least on the most basic level the Philadelphia band has fully embraced a style of music that was shaped a generation or two before they formed. Since the release of their debut album, 2012's The Chills, the "New Wave of Old-School Death Metal" tag has followed them, despite being something of a contradiction in terms. It's not an entirely unfounded description, however. Horrendous have studied the classics—Morbid Angel, Carcass, the Gothenburg scene—and they'd certainly ace the test were it administered today.
Here's the catch: Old-school death metal is more of an aesthetic choice for Horrendous than an all-encompassing statement of identity. At the 1:08 mark on "Sum of All Failures," the sixth track on the band's third album Anareta, the group explodes into a hyper-speed gallop worth of classic Entombed or At the Gates. It's a familiar rush of energy and abrasion, the forward rush of momentum headed toward what could only be imminent destruction. But just a minute later, it's less about the surge and the crash, and more about the gorgeous orchestration of guitars that Horrendous commands, their harmonies less like those of Swedish death hordes of yore and more like the melodic showmanship of New Wave of British Heavy Metal-era bands. The irony? The collision of two decades-old sounds ends up sounding all the more contemporary and invigorating.
Horrendous isn't the first band to build that bridge; Carcass did something similar with their landmark 1993 album Heartwork, and it's easy to hear the parallels between the two records. Where Horrendous diverts from the left hand path is in how naturally their style of death metal takes to gigantic hooks and a soaring tunefulness while maintaining an almost punk rock rawness. The crunch and wallop that each of these eight songs packs feels vintage in a way, though the songwriting itself doesn't. Leadoff track "The Nihilist" could, on a cursory listen, convince you that you were listening to something from death metal's heralded archives. But a closer examination reveals something with more complexity in the way it weaves together harshness with a surprisingly mellifluous sensibility.
There's a moment in almost every song on Anareta where Horrendous transitions from a familiar death metal sound to one that transcends it. On "Ozymandias," it arrives about halfway through, with an entrancing sequence of descending minor chords. The instrumental standout "Siderea" shifts back and forth between moments of roaring chug and flights of lightning fretwork that are as much a testament to metal's tendency toward musical extremes as they are to Horrendous' own embrace of traditional beauty in a genre that so frequently eschews it. And "Acolytes" pushes that idea even further, its speed and intensity growing in concert with the melody itself, cascading in a hellish psychedelic spiral at five minutes and climaxing with the sound of absolute triumph at six.
The fascinating thing about a band that so frequently punctuates their songs with moments of euphoria is that they tend to only happen once. "Stillborn Gods," for instance, is one song concise and direct enough to almost pass as a single in the conventional sense. But its labyrinthine structure of various movements, passages and diversions ensure that it never actually entirely resembles a standard pop song. Horrendous, despite a name that warrants too-easy puns, are operating on a level too sophisticated for mere nostalgia. Death metal's flirtations with ambiance or accessibility can sometimes come at the expense of the visceral, back-to-basics rawness that makes the old-school sounds hit with such a profound impact, but Horrendous makes the proper correction. Anareta hits the pleasure and catharsis centers simultaneously at full force.

Limited edition two track (double A side) single "Blind / Sister".
Back once again with another absolutely cracking AA single are The Brothers Movement. Blind / Sister is the 2nd single from the highly praised self titled debut album from late 2009. Both tracks highlight the more laidback side of the bands sound, but with lots of contrast between light and and dark, acoustic and electric, they burn with an energy and warmth missing from many of todays acts. Both tracks also sound and feel like top quality singles on their own let alone as a double A !!
Hailing from Dublin, The Brothers Movement formed in 2007 and in a short span of time have shared billing with established rock acts like The Jesus Mary Chain, MC5, Chemical Brothers, Doves and Sonic Youth. This double A-side single is a follow up to the band's debut 'Standing Still' which was single of the month in Ireland's Hot Press. The band were featured live on John Kennedy's Exposure on XFM, received an 8 / 10 in NME for their album and their fan base has rapidly been growing rapidly through sustained touring.
Upcoming Irish National TV appearances include Other Voices RTE 2 (airs March 10) & Coel ar an Imeall on TG4 (airs March 11th).
Mainline are now "The Brothers Movement".
"Having already opened for Black Rebel Motorcylce Club and Jesus And Mary Chain this year excitement is building as those psychedelic rockers TBM prepare for the release of their much anticipated debut album. As an appetiser for things to come the first single to be taken from the album will be released at the end of October 08."
SWEET JANE formed in Dublin last Autumn as a side-project involving members from Dublin's MAINLINE and Cherrybombs DJ Lydia Des Dolles. Their material cannot be purchased as yet, but a few tracks are available to download from their myspace page, which is one well worth the visit.
As a side-project which started out mainly as a bit of fun, they are currently not interested in selling any of the Sweet Jane material, though given all the positive feedback they are receiving at present, one would expect this to change. Meanwhile they are happily distributing EPs of their music free to those interested.
Mainline play Crawdaddy plus special guest Sickboy on December 23. 9PM, 10euro.
Kicking off in Belfast on the Friday night at David Holmes legendary club night, The New Left bank, we then take on ITC, Manchester for two shows, finishing off the short UK tour we headline a post ITC bash in the legendary Water rats venue, London on the Tuesday Oct 4th, Mainline will not be returning to the UK till early next year as they are studio bound, so check it out.. keep it lit...dates below:"

Run by former NME scribe James Oldum, the Polydor subsidiary has been delighted with the plays their double-A-sided 'Black Honey'/'Once More' single has been receiving on UK radio.
Among their most ardent supporters is BBC Radio 2's Bob Harris who, after giving 'Once More' its first spin, enthused: "From Dublin a really excellent dark and brooding band called Mainline. Of all the bands I've heard in the last few months these stand out the most. It's a really dynamic record – they sound terrific and I'm going to play this a lot."
At the moment it's only a one-off single deal, but with praise like that you can't imagine Loog wanting to let them go.
You can check Mainline out live on New Year's Eve when a DJ-ing David Holmes joins them for Auld Lang Syne duties in the Temple Bar Music Centre.
angloplugging.com: "BLACK HONEY / ONCE MORE"
Dublin's Mainline, release their debut single, Black Honey / Once More on Limited Edition 7" through Loog Records on Monday 31st January 2005.
In their hometown of Dublin, they're a cause celebre, a dark call to arms championed by public and press alike. Their gigs – a euphoric rush of lights, melody and white noise – are legendary, and have already seen them support such kindred spirits as Primal Scream and Death In Vegas. Before the end of the year, they're due to head out on tour with Ian Brown.
It hasn't always been so easy for them. Formed three years ago by a core of three brothers: Neil Paxton – voice/guitar, Daniel – drums and Conor – bass. They initially discovered that the way they look (like friends of Andy Warhols circa 1966) and the way they sound (a sweet mesh of Velvets, Spacemen 3 and Mary Chain riffs) didn't sit too well with their hometown scene.
Just confirmed to play support for the 22-20's, Mainline are enjoying some major label attention. Plus: Derry band Red Organ Serpent Sound sign to Universal.
Mainline continue to win friends and influence A&R people when they open for 22-20's at the Hub, Dublin (October 29) and The Limelight, Belfast (30).
Formed in early 2001, the band comprises Mr. & Mrs. Paxton's boys Neil, Conor and Daniel, Scott Glennon, Patrick McHugh and Jeff McDonald.
Having spent the last couple of month's in Grouse Lodge Studios with U2 and Elvis Costello man Leo Pearson, it's no surprise that their hypnotic Spiritualized meet The Velvet Undergound grooves have been the subject of much major label scrutiny.
"Sony, Polydor, BMG and EMI have all had a look at them recently, and there have been a few publishing companies over too so there's plenty of interest," a Dublin-based A&R source tells hotpress.com "I'd be very surprised if, come the end of the year, they're not a signed band."
Definitely signing on the dotted line this are psychedelic Derry combo Red Organ Serpent Sound who've pledged their future to Universal imprint Vertigo. Which is bad news for 679 and Rough Trade who'd also tried to snap up the northerners.
"What attracted us to Vertigo," reveals manager Nick Davis, "is that they've a small, enthusiastic team who've already broken Razorlight this year and look like doing the same with Thirteen Senses and the band they signed prior to us, The Black Velvets."
Currently working on demos in their hometown Blast Furnace Studios, the band plan to release their debut single in January or February 2005 with an album following in the spring.
"The songs are all written and arranged," Davis continues, "so once we decide on a producer it should be all pretty straightforward. We've also got a few gigs lined up, which is going to make for a busy few months." These include visits to the Nerve Centre, Derry (October 21) and the Town & Country Club, Magherafelt (November 26).
18th Sept, with guest DJ's Johnny Moy, Arveene, Nic and Eno AKA The Fade.
€10 before 22.00 and €12 after.
disappointment, doors open at 8pm.
Mainline play the Temple Bar Music Centre on Monday 5th July.
Admission is FREE ALL NIGHT!

It's the rare child who actually wants to eat fruits and vegetables. Kids are bombarded by television and radio ads for cereals, candy, and chips that contain huge amounts of sugar and large quantities of saturated fat. The sugar craving begins in childhood – kids quickly develop a taste for sweets. To a child's sugar-sensitized palette, the complex sugars contained in fruits and vegetables are a poor substitute.
In the 1950s and 1960s a well-known health-related slogan was "an apple a day makes the doctor away". This advice represented ancient folk wisdom. Today, decades of research has shown that apples – and all fruits and vegetables – have remarkable health-promoting and disease-fighting properties.
Most fruits and vegetables are packed with magical biochemicals called phytochemicals – "phyto" means plant. Phytochemicals give fruits and vegetables their color, so the more colorful a food, the more phytochemicals it contains.
Ongoing research studies show that phytochemicals – of which there are thousands of varieties – provide protection against the development of many chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, and arthritis.
Many phytochemicals are antioxidants and neutralize free radicals in human cells. Others have anti-inflammatory properties – these help slow the aging process.
Fruits and vegetables are so important for our health and well-being that many national organizations have promoted the "five to stay alive rule" – the recommendation is to eat at least five portions of fruits and vegetables each day.
Portions could include any of these – an apple, an orange, a banana, a cup of grapes, a cup of blueberries, a yam, a couple of carrots, a couple of tomatoes, and a couple of tablespoons of broccoli.
For many of us, "five to stay alive" would be a radical departure from our old habits. It might take a little effort to develop new shopping and eating habits, but once you're in the groove it's likely you'll be feeling so much better you'll wonder why you didn't start this healthy-eating plan sooner.

Q: Running jar file returns java.library.path error I've built a jar through netbeans, specifying my main class and libraries. In the properties section, I have the library in the Libraries section and I've set
-Djava.library.path=/path/to/lib

in the Run section. However, when I run the jar file through the command line using
java -jar

it returns the error
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no libName in java.library.path

There is a lib directory in the same directory as my jar file, with the library in it, and the manifest file in the jar contains
Class-Path: lib/libName.jar

What's wrong with my jar file?

A: java.library.path isn't used for loading jar-files but for loading native libraries used by e.g. JNI. From the error message it seems your application is calling System.loadLibrary("libName"), so your system is looking for libName.dll (on Windows) or libName.so (on Unix) which aren't there.
If you only have some classes in libName.jar you have no need for System.loadLibrary() nor for java.library.path - just include libName.jar in your classpath and java will find everything it needs.
If libName.jar contains native libraries you want to use: there's no straightforward way to load dlls or sos from inside a jar without unpacking them first, so the easiest way is to put the native library outside the jar as an extra file in your /lib-directory. There are also libraries out there that allow you to use the native lib from inside a jar - see this question for more info.


Review Summary: A sweet spot.
And The Kids possess a certain it factor that is lacking in so many modern indie bands. It seems that every week a new female-fronted indie-pop outfit sprouts out of the ground, all slick and sparkly; ready to dazzle us. And The Kids are extremely consistent, sure, but I don't think that alone is it. There's a sincerity to Hannah Mohan's voice that can't be manufactured, like the way she over-annunciates in order to stress emotion. It's not too different from something Jim Adkins might do, like when he drew out the chorus in "Heart is Hard to Find" on 2010's Invented. In fact, I'd go as far as to say And The Kids remind me a little bit of what a female-fronted indie-pop version of Jimmy Eat World might sound like. They know how to craft a hook, every song feels like it belongs exactly where they placed it, and there's just enough going on instrumentally to keep the experience interesting.
When This Life Is Over sort of melts together; it's less a collection of songs as it is a vibe. The production is lightweight and airy, but the guitars are pronounced – and the drumming grounded – so that it never approaches dream pop status. Besides, it doesn't float like Beach House so much as it does glide, almost like shoegaze, but favoring obviously defined vocal harmonies over atmospheric glaze. While gems like 'No Way Sit Back', 'Champagne Ladies', and 'Religion' climb on each other's shoulders to grip the attention of their listeners, most of When This Life Is Over settles back into a reserved groove. The subtle hooks and choruses could almost pass for pleasant background music, if only they didn't hold up so well under individual scrutiny too. Every song is uniquely defined by something, guaranteeing that And The Kids aren't just another glamorous, overproduced, glorified pop band. And The Kids' third LP never wows us: it never launches into a breakdown or solo, there's no life-altering lyrics, and few if any of these choruses will be able to latch onto mainstream radio. Maybe they need a little spark to be better than just enjoyable and reliably great. But as they keep searching for their next launching pad, this sweet spot they've settled into is undeniably satisfying.
Trying my hand at an Adam Thomas review!
Just needed to get something out there for this. A consistently enjoyable indie-pop album.
"Trying my hand at an Adam Thomas review!"
A lot of people would say that Hannah's voice is pretty reminiscent of Siouxie Sioux.
I'm so glad to see the album I had to add to sputnik on the front page too.
definitely. it's nothing incredible but it's all-around enjoyable with nary a poor track. kind of surprised more people didn't jump on it.
