Authorities have captured dozens of dogs near the scene of a fatal mauling of four people by feral dogs in Mexico City’s poor Iztapalapa district, which happened on Saturday, Jan. 5, 2013. Rather than calm residents, photos of the forlorn dogs brought a wave of sympathy for the animals, doubts about their involvement in the killings and debate about government handling of the stray dog problem.

text: Woodruff (1997) and Treacy, and Wiersema (1996) see value as the next source of competitive advantage and suggest that organisations should reinvent their companies. Moreover, to enable long-standing firms that produce value over time, it is crucial to continuously re-configure the opportunities. The objective of the paper is to illustrate through two case studies, from chemical and drink sectors, the application of the value cube. The paper starts by explaining the value cube and its six value propositions. Then, the methodology for the application of the case studies is discussed and it is followed by the identification of the value propositions of both organisations and the explanation of how these organisations create value. The paper concludes with a set of lessons learned and contributions.

报 告 人：杨雪 教授
Online platforms have been facilitating users for various types of communications, activities, and consumptions and create tremendous commercial values through online member participation. To achieve sustained participation, online platforms need to maintain an healthy environment with consistent rules for each participant. However, system loopholes often emerge due to the malfunctions of platforms and some participants may break the platform policy and benefit from the loopholes. As a result, when taking recovery measures, online platforms will face a dilemma between punishing the loophole exploiters and taking major responsibility with no punishment. Each direction of the decision may take the risk of offending a group of users, i.e., the system exploiters, other observing users, or both. According to just deserts theory and retributive vs. utilitarian theory of punishment, the choice of different directions of punishment decision (punish or not punish) depends on the justice intuition and underlying philosophy of punishment of the relevant parties. The question remains unclear about the effects of different punishment decisions which will be critical for sustained participation of platform users. In this study, we utilize the field data of an online gaming platform to examine the effects of gaming policy breach due to system loopholes (in the form of BUG incidents) and the platform’s different punishment decisions on player responses. By employing the methods of regression discontinuity and difference-in-differences models, we found that the occurrence of BUGs have negative impacts on the observing players’ in-game online duration, consumption amount and charge amount. Surprisingly, although the platform is responsible for the BUGs and the BUG users are a small group, the decision of not punishing them leads to even worse outcomes. In contrast, after punishing the BUG users, observing players' performance were significantly improved, especially those who are more likely to be influenced by BUG users. These findings enriched the literature and theories concerning the relationships between online platform system loophole exploitation management and sustained user participation. Practical guidance is offered for online platforms to design effective rules and recovery measures under the situation of a system loophole exploitation.

Michael Frenzel, a one-time chief executive of travel giant TUI, is one of the first people affected by a move in Germany to reserve 30 percent of corporate supervisory board seats for women.
The quota was proposed by Germany's family affairs minister, Manuela Schwesig, last year, and may be adopted by lawmakers on Friday.
Economics Minister Sigmar Gabriel had nominated Mr. Frenzel for the supervisory board of state-owned railway Deutsche Bahn.
But Mr. Gabriel, who is also Germany's vice chancellor, was overruled by other members of Chancellor Angela Merkel's cabinet, who wanted a woman on the board.
Brigitte Zypries, a state secretary in the economics ministry, eventually got the job instead.
Now there are at least three women on Deutsche Bahn's 20-member supervisory board, the non-executive panel that hires and fires the chief executive and sets major policy. German law already requires that at least two seats on corporate supervisory boards are held by employee representatives. The new rules would enforce gender quotas for the first time.
But even Ms. Zypries' appointment to the railroad's board won't meet the 30-percent quota the Bundestag will consider this week.
German companies above a certain size are required to have supervisory boards. If the Bundestag approves on Friday, companies will have to fill 30 percent of supervisory board seats with women starting in 2016, and half of all seats by 2018.
Companies that are state-owned must meet the quotas too.
A total commitment to parity would mean that equal numbers of men and women would have to be invited to attend interviews.
"The federal government must lead by example. Anything else would be difficult to explain to the public," said an official at the German finance ministry, which supervises the government's business holdings such as Deutsche Bahn, Deutsche Post and the government's 27-percent stake in Deutsche Telekom, the market-leading telecom company.
But leading by example, even for the German government, is easier said than done.
According to internal estimates, women currently make up 23.5 percent of supervisory bodies at government-owned companies.
Ministries have been trying for months to take the new expected female quota into account as they fill positions. Junior ministers and senior civil servants tend to represent the federal government on supervisory boards of state-owned firms.
"We can't expect our state secretaries and department heads to have sex changes," said one finance ministry official, who declined to be named.
The government could choose non-government workers as its appointees for these boards, but the finance ministry claims this only works on a case-by-case basis, and it has to be justified. The federal government wants to maintain influence over state-owned or partially state-owned companies, and outside candidates could theoretically reduce this influence.
The issue of female quotas on corporate boards has divided Germany’s right-left governing coalition.
The center-left Social Democrats, the junior partner in Ms. Merkel's coalition, has pushed hard for the the quota, while Ms. Merkel's center-right Christian Democrats have been cautious.
Many in industry complain the resulting legislative compromise before Bundestag lawmakers this week was "poorly done."
Some complain the laws will give supervisory boards power to dictate quotas to management.
Torsten von Roetteken, a presiding judge on the Frankfurt Administrative Court, warns that the goal of the package, to achieve full gender parity in public service positions, is "clearly unconstitutional" and "incompatible" with European law. He warned that the legislation would trigger a wave of lawsuits.
Marcus Weinberg of the CDU party told Handelsblatt that the aim of the legislation should be to reduce structural discrimination against women, not achieve complete parity, as the SPD had wanted.
Nadine Schön, the CDU deputy parliamentary leader, said that complete gender parity would have been impossible.
"The requirement to establish gender parity in public administration positions at all levels would have triggered too much bureaucracy," she said.
A total commitment to parity would mean that equal numbers of men and women would have to be invited to attend interviews. Gender equality would shape personnel policy in kindergartens and police stations alike.
Parity has now been downgraded from the top objective to being simply one of several goals.
When it comes to politically appointed positions, it is clear that parity is a problem.
Last year, when it was time to appoint lawmakers to the advisory council of the Federal Network Agency, the German regulatory office for electricity, gas, telecommunications, post and railway markets, Mr. Gabriel, who is chairman of the SPD, noticed that parliamentary groups had submitted lists dominated by men.
He demanded more women, and as a result, eight women were appointed to the body, making up 25 percent of the board.
One of them is the former family minister, Kristina Schröder.
The federal government will also increase the share of women at Deutsche Bahn soon.
Mr. Frenzel will get a seat on the railroad's supervisory board after all, but another two male members, Knut Löschke and Heinrich Weiss, will make way for two additional women. The federal government is currently represented on the board by SPD member of parliament Kirsten Lühmann as well as Ms. Zypries.
And in future, the federal government will simply have to make sure more women are promoted, so they can become department heads and state secretaries and fill the quotas on these supervisory boards.
After all, that was the point of the law.

A visitor walking deep into the headquarters of property developers Sala and Novaland could see several models of a future Ho Chi Minh City. As given form in plaster models and digitized 3D, a brand new city will arise in District 2 in the next five years, dense in high rises, expansive with wide lane highways, containing a new business and residential district as the new, modern face of Vietnam.
Take a motorbike ride down Ben Van Don street in District 4, and you’ll pass by some completed projects of this city’s rise towards verticality. Icon 56 and Galaxy 9, built in the last two years, have already changed the skyline with their transformers-like Novaland insignia, visible from far away in District 1. Next to Khanh Hoi and Calmette bridges, Novaland and Masteri Development are building competing apartment complexes, their jutting steel beams racing each other to scale the sky. While torrential rains lash the streets of HCMC during these rainy months and subjugates sections of the city under water, its buildings continuously stretch upwards and upwards.
Ho Chi Minh City. The next megacity of Asia?
While it’s a novelty to Vietnam, the rapid vertical construction of cities isn’t so new in Asia; after all, it has come to Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai, etc… The 60 stories high Woolworth Building in New York City, a behemoth at the time, was built more than a hundred years ago, in 1913. It brought with it decades of further growth, and the big apple never stopped getting bigger. If plucked from Manhattan and planted in Ho Chi Minh City today, the Woolworth building would be this city’s second tallest, topped only by the Bitexco Tower, itself finished in 2010.
When I was a kid living in Vietnam thirty years ago, elevators were a rarity. After all, you needed consistent electricity coursing through the wires to run them, and the city had daily rolling blackouts. The heights of Ho Chi Minh City’s tallest buildings were therefore partly limited to the human capacity for stair climbing. My family lived on the third floor of a four floors apartment by the river in Binh Thanh, in a complex that still exists relatively unchanged. It lives, however, in proximity to newly raised high rises, each of them altering the landscape and skyline of the city, each giving signs of boom times coming to the city.
Who is living in these new developments?
Touring some of the completed construction can give a sense of what kind of civic culture one can expect from the high rises to come. The pedestrian traffic and conversations in buildings like Icon 56, or the Lexington far out in District 2, or even old apartment complexes like the Somerset in District 1, differ from those encountered in horizontal alleys and lanes, the “hem” that exists in much of the city now. The city’s pace is quieted by the one motorbike-width alleys in the evening, families fit into upstairs rooms, small parking garages for bikes make up the lower garage/room. Layers of laundry can often be seen hanging on the sides of shops and mom and pop restaurants adorn the street sides.
Multi floored apartment complexes, in contrast, are often complete and sufficient to themselves, with a pool, gym, supermarket, restaurants, and occasionally a complete shopping centre or cinema on site, or in close proximity. Vincom’s Golden River project, for example, is a series of high rises built close together, four 50 something floors of apartment complexes for regular buyers and three luxury complexes nearby, an additional super tall hotel, all of them adding up to a substantial small city embedded within the larger metropolis of Saigon.
Such high living can sometimes be insular, with wealthy tenants and owners valuing compartmentalised, private existences. Their large lobby spaces and grand facades, with manned security points, can be unwelcoming, cold.
The future of urban life and community in Ho Chi Minh City
It’s a mistake, however, to assume a high rise can only be corporate, cold, homogenous. I’ve loved walking next to the beautiful facades of behemoths in New York, Chicago, and Shanghai’s classic structures bordering the Bund. The flatiron building in New York still conveys the muscle of the city, its gritty work ethic. The Magnificent Mile of Chicago gives vision of its industry but also views of the lake shore beyond, and nothing beats the pastel light of late afternoons filtering softly through glass reflections of Hong Kong, where I spent eight years of my life.
Nothing quite captures the magic of a city than the promise of a shimmering skyline. What’s more, the space created from land freed by the city growing upwards can be used creatively – consider the high line in Manhattan as one prime example. Such green sections can break up the homogenous sprawl of low rise and its stretches of cement. There are also new research and literature that argue the environmental benefits of high density urban living over suburban or rural living.
Today in Vietnam, architects like Vo Trong Nghia or the team at T3 architecture are examples of city planners mindful of designing sustainable buildings incorporating green spaces, that create distinct, unique angles towards living in this booming urban environment. Surely there can be room in high rise design for spaces that are communal, that turn outward and are inclusive of the public, that reminds us of the lush and varied greenery of Vietnam?
Just as Nguyen Hue’s walking street has made a space for all to roam and socialise after the heat of the day dies down, there should be hope for new spaces created for the public in these novel constructions. Such possibilities not only enrich the life blood of a community, they also jumpstart retail and tourism industries as well.
What will Ho Chi Minh city look like in five years?
What will be the state of its public transport, its overall infrastructure? Will the city be ready for the additional burden on traffic of a denser population? One looks at the Saigon Centre, a shimmering addition to business in District 1, for one example of how such a successful construction can often carry new problems, such as the daily deadlocked intersection of Pasteur and Ton That Thiep from the fleet of cars and taxis carrying customers to and from the popular shopping center.
Will there be public spaces, green areas created or preserved? Will there be natural communities where collaborations can happen, places where cultural or artistic events are made available and enjoyed by its citizens? These are all questions that Ho Chi Minh city asks of itself as its growth reaches a frenetic pace and looks ever beyond.
The next Shanghai and Pudong?
Whatever form Ho Chi Minh city takes in its future, my wish is that it won’t take for its model Shanghai’s Pudong, a resplendent lit up skyline seen from a distance, but one that is brutal in immensity seen up close. I have walked on Pudong’s sci fi raised walkways, and looked upwards, straining my neck and the limits of my vision as I did so. Homogenous glass, massive steel beams, endless concrete, stretch higher than the eye can observe, with towers designed to smite one visually, their looming mass dominating, yielding nothing in return.
The human form was insignificant next to their structures. The fragile silhouettes of other pedestrians, next to the massive mercantile machinery, the booming glass and steel beams, seem to show only worker ants walking to work. Pudong’s high rises serve no purpose but to display power, to brutally remind us of our subservience to it, while over on Shanghai’s Puxi side, one notices the gentle curve of the Bund’s glittering flow, the soft reflection of city lights on the populated boardwalk, the chiaroscuro of Shanghai’s architectural history. One sees how the palimpsestic constructions of such a city’s past can make a city breathe and live, be layered and gorgeous. I know which version of Shanghai I hope for HCMC.

When the public in Hong Kong is so much concerned about preserving and protecting our environment, an exhibition of Mrs. Beryl M. Walden’s original water-colour paintings of living specimens of the wild flowers of Hong Kong and Guangdong is a most timely event.
Mrs. Walden has spent nearly 30 years sketching living specimens of wild flowers in South China and Hong Kong. This solo exhibition marks the 30th anniversary of Mrs. Walden first exhibition. It features 100 original paintings of wild flowers in Hong Kong and South China.
The tradition of depicting botanical specimens combines science and art. Botanical artists seek to understand the structure of plants and to communicate this knowledge to their audience in a scientifically accurate and aesthetically pleasing manner. It is indeed an honour and pleasure for the University Library System to present Mrs. Walden’s botanical art to the University community and beyond.

In the dramatic trailer for House of Kardashian, an explosive documentary about at the lives about the Kardashian women, Caitlyn, 73, makes the bold statement that Kim's entry into the world of celebrity was no accident.
The three-part Sky Documentaries series is set to be released on Sunday, October 8, but the early trailer release is already causing waves.
Speaking from her Malibu home, Caitlyn tells the camera, "Kimberley calculated from the beginning 'how do I become famous?'."
Kim, 39, first became known in 2007 when a sex tape featuring her and her ex-boyfriend Ray J was leaked online, a few months before Keeping Up With The Kardashians first aired.
One of the other contributors to the new series can be heard in the trailer saying: "The sex tape was a means to an end. It was to create a controversy."
OK! has contacted Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian's reps for comment.
According to 72 Films, the producers of the documentary, the series will "explore their rise, reach and the cost that comes with being some of the most famous women on the planet".
Unlike in their previous reality hits, Keeping Up With The Kardashians and later The Kardashians on Hulu, Kim, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner have not been involved so don't have any say in what's shown.
Speaking about her involvement, Caitlyn said: “I was happy to participate in the interview process to share my side which points to the strength, influence, and prowess my family has in captivating the world’s attention and keeping it over the years. I am incredibly proud of all my children and stepchildren.”
Relations between Caitlyn and her ex-wife and stepchildren haven't been particularly smooth sailing since Caitlyn, then living as Bruce Jenner, separated in 2013. At the time they said they would remain "best friends" and the would "always have much love and respect for each other".
But following her transition, things became particularly rocky after the release of Caitlyn's autobiography, The Secrets Of My Life, which came out in 2017.
In it, Caitlyn claimed she'd told Kris about her gender issues early in their relationship - something with Kris has since denied.
"I told her I dressed as a woman, and she knew I did, because I did it several times in front of her after we were married," Caitlyn wrote.
Things were reportedly particularly acrimonious between Caitlyn and Khloe, 39, who publicly backed her mum during her disagreements with her ex.

I do a lot of foiling. My favorite products are from Thermo Web, Gina K Designs, and Creative Vision Stamps. And I do save my scraps – no matter how small (well, at least an inch or so). I put them all in a box to use later. One of my favorite ways to use it is on double sided tape strips – but I was playing the other day with some adhesive foam and came up with something new (at least I think so)
After peeling off one side of the release papers from the foam circle, I started wrapping pieces of the foil bits around the tip of my index finger. The ends were held with my thumb and middle finger, making sure the shiny color part is against my finger. I pressed bits into the sticky foam to get a marvelous colorful mix of foil. After a lot of it is down, you can just press the foil down in the open areas. *I did mess up a few areas and pulled up some sticky, so I just put some double sided tape in that area and tried again.
Once I had the colors all down, I ran the circle through my big shot with a piece of black foil to fill in any areas I may have missed. You could use about any color of foil here.
I cut out the Awesome using a Neat & Tangled die set, using white for the shadow to make the gold pop.
The finished card is below – the shine in the circle is amazing. I had not originally planned on the white cardbase, but had put it upside down originally. Yes, it happens. But this really is a cleaner look. The small “you are so” is from a Right At Home set called Color In Sentiments, along with the stitched edge called Sweet Stitched Die Set.
This was fun to do, and I plan to do more with my scraps. Have a great day — Mary Kay

Is Baking With Silicone Safe?
While you might know silicone more for its use in plastic surgery, there’s a good chance that you can also find it right in your own kitchen. If you have any muffin pans, Bundt pans, spatulas, cupcake liners or other items made from brightly colored rubbery material, you’re probably already cooking and baking with silicone in your own home.
Silicone’s durability in the kitchen has made preparing meals easier for Americans across the country. However, it’s also true that silicone is a relatively new material whose long-term effects still aren’t fully known. While silicone is safe by many metrics, there are some studies that suggest that silicone could have some issues under certain circumstances. Before deciding if silicone is right for you and your family, you should understand what silicone is good for in the kitchen — and where you might be better off cooking and baking with a different material.

The collection of stories in Tolstoy’s Divine and Human were picked for their connection and concern with political themes. Unfortunately, most of the stories are a bit stiff, obvious, and lack the fine touch of Tolstoy’s greatest short fiction.
“What for?” deals with the subjugation of the Polish aristocracy under Russian imperialism. The long story “Divine and Human” with the fate of failed revolutionaries and political disappointment The final story in this slim collection, “Berries” appears to not deal with politics at all, but through the subtle use of the image of under ripe berries, actually is all about the class conflict.
Without an obvious spiritual dimension, these stories don’t carry Tolstoy to the grand heights of his more fully realized fiction. In Divine and Human the stories are interesting, in that here we see Tolstoy the social reformer without any guise, but that is as far as the interest goes; these stories are good, but with consideration alongside the rest of Tolstoy’s oeuvre, this means they are not very good at all.

Britt was held out of the game against Chicago, as he was for previous contests against Minnesota and St. Louis, because of lingering concern over a hamstring injury that cost him four games during the 2010 season.
I think it's just good to have that whole situation behnd us now," coach Mike Muncahak said. "It's something we had to deal with as an organization when the lockout ended. ... We're just looking forward to getting him on the field."
Tennessee concludes the preseason Thursday at New Orleans and opens the regular season Sept. 11 at Jacksonville.
"I'm going to go out there Monday [for practice] and see what I've got," Britt said. "Hopefully I can go out there and play with my teammates [Thursday]."
Goodell’s decision, made four days after a face-to-face meeting between the two in New York, contained a caveat.
"The Commissioner restated his expectation that Britt will be responsible for his actions going forward and noted that future incidents will lead to appropriate discipline," league spokesman Greg Aiello said.
Britt was arrested three times during the offseason — twice in his home state of New Jersey and once in Tennessee.
“I hope I don’t get no letters, nothing — no calls or anything — from him again in my life, unless [it’s] ‘good job on the field,' ” Britt said. “There’s always doubt in your mind that things might happen to you. … It came out good on my behalf.”

NEW DISC: ZOJI released 1/1/21 (MoonJune MJR110)
ZOJI with Mark Wingfield - electric guitar and Adriano Adewale - percussion.
Dizzying constellations of notes netted within the soundboard of the harpsichord, quill-plucked and sent spinning in darting arcs and ascending steps. . . Harmonic fog adrift from which notes slip out in silvery streaks, gleaming with passion, while some, disconsolate, fall into dark silence snuffing out their glow. . .
Cymbals sizzle and resonate, ceding space to the crackle of shells shaken. Wood, skin, clay all brushed, touched and tamped, honed into accents and beats, breathing between the firefly flurries criss-crossing through their time. . .
Sid Smith - music journalist
'The Oriental Miscellany' released April 2015 (SIGD415)
Arranged and adapted by William Hamilton Bird, the Oriental Miscellany is the first published transcription of Indian vocal music in Western notation for harpsichord, taken from live performance. Published in Calcutta in 1789 it was considered an important historical source, reflecting Western fascination with the East, and the vogue for Hindustani Airs.
"This is an intriguing recording…. a fascinating and agreeable collection.
Jane Chapman uses the harpsichord's features - machine stop, lute stop - to full advantage.
Played with flair and panache by flautist Yu-Wei Hu."
Early Music Review ✭✭✭✭✭ (in all categories)
"(Jane Chapman) takes full advantage of the sonic effects and exotic possibilities of the restored 1722 Jacob Kirckman harpsichord she has chosen for the recording. The range of colours and textures is dazzling, and at sometimes wonderfully suggestive of an Indian sitar. She is free with repetitions and ornamentation, and occasionally adapts the simple bass-line for greater dramatic effect.
Delicious improvised additions … The playing is smart, clean, refined and inventive."
"Remarkably colourful performances…ornamental flourishes unlike anything found in European music of the time."
"It's a fascinating collection, and Jane Chapman uses the nasality available from her Kirckman harpsichord to suggest the drones of some of the original to great effect."
"The best CDs (The Oriental Miscellany) - hits for the summer."
"William Hamilton's rare book, which notated the beguiling melodies created by the nautch girls and camel drivers of the 18th century, finds its way home through a new British Album."

‘Peter Dickinson’s ‘Variations on a French Folk Song’ (1957) for harpsichord is the most challenging and in many ways the most important work on this CD. It is based on the well-loved folk song ‘Sur le pont d’Avignon’. The theme is followed by eight diverse variations that explore aspects of the deconstructed theme. There is humour, excitement and reflection present in these variations: the finale is a ‘warhorse’. It is possibly the best ‘contemporary’ work for harpsichord that I have heard.

PIECES DE CLAVECIN FROM THE BAUYN MANUSCRIPT
3 Volumes (Collins Classics)
Beau Genie (14202)
Divers Styles dans L'Eloquence (14212)
La Belle Maniere du Toucher (14222)
As a retrospective source of the rich repertoire of the 17th century French clavenistes, this collection is without equal. Although many of the pieces are also found in other manuscripts, as well as in some handsomely engraved printed editions produced in France at this time, quite a few exist in no other source known to date. Jane Chapman has purposely selected many of these rarely heard pieces by composers such as Dumont, Hardel, La Barre, Monnard, and Richard, as well as those by unsurpassed masters of the repertoire, ChambonniÃ¨res and his pupil Louis Couperin. The Manuscript contains transcriptions of lute pieces as well as works by Froberger who visited Paris, and his teacher Frescobaldi.
'...Jane Chapman playing a 1614 Ruckers harpsichord that sings gorgeously, proves an eloquent and stylish exponent of its contents' (The Times)
'...the overall standard is impressive and Jane Chapman has obviously identified closely with this repertoire. A fascinating disc' (Musical Opinion)
'...she brings a clear and direct approach towards ornamentation. She makes expressive use of rubato to good effect...and she strikes a balance between rhythmic freedom and harmonic direction' (CD Review)
'Jane Chapman is a stylish and persuasive exponent of the music..Two anonymous Pavannes stood up marvelously to the music by Couperin...points to make this for baroque fans and others' (The Northern Echo)
'Such is Jane Chapman's panache and affinity with this repertoire [Bauyn] that one almost feels the composer in person is improvising at the keyboard' (BBC Music Magazine)
'The music, the playing, the recording, everything is outstanding and very enjoyable. Ms Chapman translates 'Beau genie' as the "innate genius" of these compositions. Exactly' (Cork Examiner)
'An excellent harpsichordist to watch for.. Here she has uncovered a treasure-trove and readers are urged to explore its expressive beauties...' (Classic CD)
Her grasp of the French idiom...is eloquent and attractive' (Gramophone)
'La belle maniere du toucher' is a joyous group of dance suites by Chambonnieres and Dumont' (The Magazine/Classic FM - Critics' Choice)
(Radio 3 - Record Review Broadcast referring to "Belle maniere du toucher")
"Belle maniere du toucher" perfectly describes how she plays. It's beautifully played...it's a wonderful advocacy for this beautiful music'
'In Jane's hands the decoration is used very much to enhance the kind of piece that's being played. A contemporary of Chambonnieres described him as having two styles: a brilliant style and smooth style. I think she emphasizes that contrast brilliantly.'
Bauyn Manuscript No. II was selected in the Critics' Choice favourite recordings of 1995 by Gramophone Magazine.
THE LADY'S BANQUET
2 Volumes (Collins Classics)
'Aires from the Opera Curiously Set' - Harpsichord (14562)
Lessons for the Mistress - Spinet (14572)
The Lady"s Banquet is a published collection of keyboard works from early 18th century England. The first volume played on a Kirckman harpsichord of 1766 concentrates on operatic transcriptions, and the second volume played on a Hancock spinet dated 1732, provides an invaluable insight into the place of the woman keyboard player in English society.
The Lady's Banquet volume 1 was selected by the BBC Music Magazine in its top recordings of 1995.
'...Jane Chapman plays with brilliance and sensitivity' (Classic CD)
'...altogether admirable is the vitality with which Jane Chapman here sheds light on early 18th century domestic music making' (Gramophone)
'...her virtuosity commands attention' (BBC Music Magazine)
'...Jane Chapman gives an excellent performance within an appealing sound picture, heightening the aura of recollection intended by the genial editor, William Babell' (BBC Music Magazine)
'...the pieces are played with authority and conviction. With Jane Chapman one can count on technique to burn and faithful observance of stylistic conventions' (The Musical Times)
'...attractive tunes and Chapman's vivacious playing do indeed 'delight the ear' (BBC Music Magazine)
'...Jane Chapman plays delightfully without affectation and makes the small quiet voice of the spinet speak most eloquently' (Northern Echo)
'...this recording stands out for its variety and originality' (Diapason)
'Jane Chapman's greatest talent is her fluidity, as shown in her melodic lines...This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful spinets ever reproduced on CD' (Repertoire)


I am in a room with five adolescent boys who are making a right old racket on an array of drums, xylophones, maracas and castanets. They are an eclectic bunch: there is the shy one, the fidget, the brain box, the cool dude and the class clown. And yet when the fidgety one makes a joke about the cakes laid out ready for break time ("Let's start on them now!"), there are good-natured chuckles all round. There is a closeness between the boys because they all have one thing in common.
Winston's Wish, a charity for bereaved children based in Cheltenham, launched an initiative in December last year to help boys aged 11 to 13 to deal, through music, with the death of a parent. "It's about taking the pressure off being too verbal about their loss," says Brett Riches, a musician and youth worker who runs the group. "They might want to use music instead when they're feeling sad or need a boost."
The boys' fearlessly honest articulation of the bewildering experience they are living through is impressive and moving. "It feels as if you're taken to the edge ...and you can't hold it in," says Ben, 12. "It's like you're a train on a winding track," adds Reese, 11.
As they speak, Riches, 29, turns their words into lyrics then, guitar in hand, and with the boys playing percussion, he helps them to work out a melody. The atmosphere of defiant strength but deep vulnerability is enhanced by a poignant chart on the wall. On it, the boys have written why they are here. "Dad, Peter. Heart disease, nobody knew about it. He had a heart attack. 2012." "Mum, Alison. Died of cancer. Late May 2010." "Mum, Carrie. Died 2011. Breast cancer. She died at home." Observing the sixth of eight music therapy sessions, it is clear the boys have made good progress. A group for girls begins this week.
"Kids are often more honest about their feelings than adults," says psychotherapist Philippa Perry. "The important thing with childhood bereavement is that they can be in a sharing situation with people not embarrassed by grief and not paralysed by what to say."
Most psychologists will tell you that there is no standard method for dealing with bereavement, but psychoanalyst Anouchka Grose says that helping children to think healthily about death is crucial: "As an adult, you can learn something from each loss and carry that on to the next one. But death for a child is like an incredible fantasy space. For kids to be able to conceptualise it in any way is amazing."
Gaby Eirew, a Vancouver-based counsellor, believes that technology can help the grieving process. She created RecordMeNow.org for parents to make video memoirs about themselves for their children. "When a parent dies," she says, "children are often left with little emotionally."
Eirew spent five years interviewing 100 people between the ages of 21 and 86 who had lost one or both of their parents before they were 16, and asking them what they wished their parents had said to them before they died. She came across a lot of "weird guilt from people who hadn't been taught to grieve properly". At one point, she was phoned by someone who sounded about six, but who was actually a 30-year-old woman. "She'd got stuck when her mother died when she was six. She was praying for an hour every day because nobody had taught her how to grieve."
Darian Leader, the author of The New Black: Mourning, Melancholia and Depression, believes that adults are "just as bewildered by death as children". This, he says, is why: "Every evening people turn on the TV to watch shows that begin with a dead body and end with a revelation of how the person died." Bereavement is complex today, he says, because of "the erosion of public mourning rituals since the first world war". He adds: "Mourning was initially defined as a public duty, but it's become an individual work of grief, where you have to do the work yourself."
Back in Cheltenham, the music group is in full swing. "Sick!" Ben exclaims when they listen back to the recording of the final song, which is both catchy and heart-wrenching. It has a chorus of "hold on to your memories and don't let go," courtesy of Ben, and a passionately cathartic percussion climax.
All of the boys are excited about their achievement, even Liam. The oldest of the boys at 13, his father died of a brain haemorrhage two years ago. He hasn't appeared to participate much, although Riches praises him for occasionally rapping a drumstick against a small drum. He shrugs: "I'm just going with my beat."
And so he is, like a backbeat in a jazz tune – slightly out of synch with the rest of the band, but just as crucial. At the end of the session, he grins: "See you all next week."

Missouri inmates to get playing cards on 52 unsolved cases
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Police and a crime-fighting group will be giving out decks of playing cards to inmates in area jails and Missouri prisons, but they aren't promoting just fun and games.
The cards will contain information about 52 unsolved homicides or missing person cases. The theory is that inmates, who pass a lot of time playing cards, may hear some information or know something about the cases and tip-off police.
The program originated in Florida, where the Heartland Crimestoppers have distributed 35,000 decks of cards since September 2005. The cards have generated 88 tips and led to two arrests, with good leads in three or four other cases, said Wayne Cross, Heartland's executive director.
"We think it's a success," Cross said. "And the victims' families are happy that something is being done on their cases."
Kansas City families are hoping the cards will bring more attention to their loved ones.
"I'm all for it," said Jim Kelly, son of homicide victim James B. Kelly. "I applaud their efforts in continuing to try to solve the case."
Kansas City chose 52 unsolved homicides or missing person cases they thought could be solved with extra publicity. The Greater Kansas City Crimestoppers raised about $4,000, enough to buy 3,342 decks of cards from Blue Springs manufacturer Gemaco.
The cases range from one in 1983 to one from last year. Each case was randomly assigned to a card, although the 10 missing persons cases are together sequentially in the suit of hearts.
The cards contain pictures of victims, except for the oldest case, the 1983 murder of 16-year-old Terri Allen. Seven cards have two photos, representing double murders.
One card, the king of spades, shows the faces of Pierre Moreau, Viola Sawyer and Jamal Moore, victims of a May 2003 triple homicide in Kansas City.
Each card has a summary of the crime, including the date and address. Police hope the information will stir memories or prompt inmates to want to help. The cards also note that anyone reporting a crime to the TIPS Hotline could receive a cash reward.
Detective Ray Staley said many killings noted on the cards occurred in front of witnesses.
"We chose ones we thought could generate leads," he said. "We know people saw these things happen. Hopefully it will prompt someone to say something."

YES, it does!
Researchers in the School of Psychology at the University of East London performed cognitive tests on 23 children. Forty minutes later, half of the children were given a bottle of water to drink as desired, and the other half were not. The cognitive tests were repeated 45 minutes later. The water group had significantly higher scores on visual attention and visual search compared to the no-water group and they had higher ratings on a scale that measured happiness.
These results suggests that staying hydrated enhances cognitive function and general well-being. In fact, being dehydrated by just 2% impairs performance in tasks requiring attention and memory skills.
Children and the elderly are more vulnerable to dehydration, so if you notice your child is having trouble paying attention or your parent or grandparent is showing signs of memory loss, consider running to the kitchen for a large glass of water before running to the doctor for a prescription.

The New South Wales Government will soon begin drafting legislation aimed at criminalising coercive control.
The new laws will create a standalone criminal offence for coercive control, in an attempt to deter such conduct and make it clear that such abuse is not acceptable in our society.
The decision comes after a parliamentary inquiry which tested the calls to make coercive control a crime.
The inquiry made 17 recommendations to the NSW state government, including that education and training initiatives be rolled out across government organisations and the wider community so that everyone understands what coercive control is.
The inquiry has been underway for most of this year, and has heard evidence from victim-survivors, frontline domestic and family violence service workers as well as representatives from the criminal justice system.
What is coercive control?
Coercive control is often the precursor to more violent and abusive behaviour within these relationships.
In New South Wales, the law already recognises that domestic abuse extends beyond physical violence and can involve patterns of abuse, but the inquiry showed there are still gaps and more can be done to protect victims. The government believes more can be done.
Coercive control is a pattern of controlling behaviour, which can be physical, sexual, psychological, emotional or financial.
It includes such activities as monitoring a person’s movements and activities, stalking, denying a person their own freedom, restricting access to transport, money, phone or internet, or manipulative behaviour which creates dependency, excessive checking up on a partner or bullying, threatening-type behaviour, isolating a partner from family or friends or caregivers.
Some of these behaviours can be very subtle so it is unclear how the laws will deal with specific forms of coercive control. NSW Attorney-General Mark Speakman and Minister for Prevention of Domestic and Sexual Violence has acknowledged that the new laws will need to be drafted with a significant amount of consultation and will take some time to get right considering that criminal law is typically incident-based, rather than behaviour based.
The NSW government aims to introduce a bill to Parliament in the second half of next year, with laws potentially enacted by the end of 2023.
Those who work at the front line of domestic and family violence services say that it’s a major step forward in helping victims to take appropriate steps to protect themselves from a controlling and abusive partner.
They also believe that passing laws to criminalise such behaviour will create much broader social awareness of coercive control, particularly to educate victims who may already be suffering coercive control and don’t realise it.
Coercive control laws in Australia and around the world
Tasmania has had specific laws against economic and emotional abuse in relationships since 2004.
The Queensland government committed to legislate against coercive control last year, after the death of Hannah Clarke and her children, but those laws are yet to pass.
In February 2020, Hannah and her three young children Aaliyah, Laianah and Trey, were killed when Hannah’s estranged husband Rowan Baxter doused them in petrol and set them alight inside their car in Brisbane. The children died at the scene and Hannah died later in hospital. from her injuries. Mr Baxter also died shortly after from self-inflicted wounds.
Ms Clarke’s family say she was the victim of sexual and emotional abuse for years before she was killed. An Inquest into the family’s deaths is scheduled for early next year.
Similar coercive control laws have been passed in England and Wales in 2015, and Scotland in 2019. In these jurisdictions laws were passed at the same time as intensive training was provided to front line emergency services workers, in particular police, to help them better recognise coercive control.
Laws are only part of the solution
During the Covid pandemic lockdowns, domestic violence has been on the rise across Australia and the rest of the world.
It requires a much broader look at all the social factors which not only contribute to domestic and family violence, but also the factors which underpin the reasons why many women are not financially independent including the gender pay gap and the years many women spend out of the workforce, raising children.
A community conversation was started here in Australia this year by a number of women who have had the courage to speak out about abuse they’ve suffered, at work, at home, as children, or as adults. We mustn’t let this conversation end. Momentum is building for change, and most Australians definitely want it.

The Ministry of the Environment promotes programs for the improvement of agricultural practices that retain soil moisture and generate microclimates to diversify crops.
Ecuador is responsible for only 0.15% of the total carbon dioxide emissions; but since 1960, the maximum temperature of the country and the sea have increased, due to the climate change that the entire planet is facing.
This global problem is precisely addressed this week at the COP23 in Bonn (Germany).
The country, in the last years, presents a reduction of around 40% of the glaciers of the volcanoes Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, Carihuairazo and Antisana.
Therefore, since 2012, the country counts with the Climate Change Strategy, which was developed by the Ministry of the Environment (MAE) and socialized with the municipalities.
The plan includes three basic aspects: adaptation, mitigation and reduction of emissions due to deforestation.
Within the first one is the Strengthening of the resilience of the communities due to the adverse effects of climate change (Foreccsa); program that addresses food security.
To this end, communities are trained in water supply for their farms. Thus, 23 reservoirs that increased water storage by 120,732 m3 were built.
“The weather changed. Sunny days are frequent and the land looks dry”, said Mercedes Andrango, a member of the Pitana Bajo community in the Cayambe canton (Pichincha). (I)

Looking for Lady Death pencils
I'm hoping to find someone who happens to have lineart with Lady Death. I'm looking for covers, sequentials and pin-ups. I'd love to find a stash of Stephen Hughes pencils.
Thanx in advance!
If you're serious I can get you in touch with Steven's widow, Barbara. She has a large collection of his old work. I know she moves some of the pages from time to time. I got my cover I wanted.

The warm summers and cool winters are excellent for growing apple, pear, plum and other fruit trees in North Carolina. It usually takes a few years of growth before the fruit can be harvested. If the tree tries to bear fruit during the first few seasons, you should manually remove the flowers and small fruits to allow the tree to grow and gain strength. This will result in bountiful and larger fruit later. Here are some of the most popular fruit trees to grow in North Carolina.
Fig Fruit Trees
Fig trees are easy to grow with minimal maintenance, early fruit bearing, and are mostly self-pollinating. Damaged branches should be pruned in the spring. They are excellent container trees that should be brought indoors if temperatures approach 5°F. It is pest resistant and requires watering weekly.
Peach Fruit Trees
Peach trees are perfect for the hot and humid Carolina summers. The tree will grow 20 to 15 feet high and 20 to 30 feet wide. They cannot survive if temperatures stay below 10°F consistently. Blight and mold are common problems, especially during wet seasons. Spraying with a multipurpose fungicide/insecticide will protect the tree from diseases.
Pear Fruit Trees
Pear trees bloom and bear fruit early in the summer. They are drought resistant, and can handle high heat, and humidity. The trees are susceptible to insect and disease, occasionally needing organic fungicide/insecticide treatment. They require maintenance and pruning for a good fruit yield. If the ground stays wet for long periods, root rot can occur, harming or killing the tree.
Apple Fruit Trees
Apple trees grow in any soil, are cold hardy, and heat tolerant. Any branch dead, damaged, or diseased should be pruned in the winter. Compost and mulch need to be placed around the base of the tree in the spring. During the summer, the tree requires regular watering. Organic fungicide/insecticide are necessary to prevent insect infestation and disease.
Plum Fruit Trees
Plum trees love the heat and grow quickly. They produce more fruit in the summer after a warm winter and spring. The tree grows 8 to 10 feet high and 6 to 8 feet wide and requires good drainage. It is insect and disease resistant. Pruning is required and it can take 5 to 6 years before fruit is produced.
To have bountiful fruit, your tree will require some maintenance and care. All fruit trees need to have any diseased, damaged, or dead branches pruned. Call Integrity Tree Care today for your tree pruning needs.

Jan. 28, 2011 — -- For two frightening weeks, 17-year-old George lived in a tree because, he said, he had nowhere else to go.
The teen thought he was going to stay with family in California. In August 2009, the woman he called "Mom" -- an aunt who had raised George since he was a baby -- bought him a Greyhound bus ticket from Missouri and gave him what she said was an address for relatives in San Francisco.
CLICK HERE for information on how to help homeless youth. For more on George and how to help him, CLICK HERE.
But before he arrived, George said he received some shocking news: His aunt told him, over the phone, that the address she provided was not for relatives but for a McDonald's.
"My mom called me and told me that I didn't have any relatives in San Francisco and I was basically screwed," he said.
George's aunt denies this, telling "20/20" that George did, in fact, have relatives in San Francisco but that she did not know their names.
All of a sudden, George found himself homeless -- and he wasn't alone. There are nearly two million homeless youth in America. In San Francisco alone, social workers see some 6,000 cases of homeless teens a year.
Toby Eastman, a San Francisco social worker, sees many teens like George.
"We see a lot of young people that are just rejected from their family," she said.
For 14 months, "20/20" followed teens like George and watched how they struggled with problems no teenager should have to face.
There was Rebecca, who spent months couch-surfing with friends, including an older man, because she didn't get along with her mother's boyfriend.
There was Dakota, an honor student who fought for emancipation from her unreliable mother.
And there was June, who was biologically a boy but identified as a girl. He risked life on the streets to avoid bullying by his brothers at home.
Eastman says that teens like George who are rejected by their families face a trauma that results in a sort of emotional distance.
When we first met George, he said he didn't miss his family at all.
"If I think about them then I'll just bring back dumb memories I don't need to worry about," he said.
George arrived in San Francisco with $50 in his pocket. For his first two weeks there, he slept in a tree at a Golden Gate Park. It was safer, he said, than sleeping on the ground, where "a lot of people could tamper with you."
"The only bad thing that could happen in a tree is if you fell out," he said.
A Place to Stay
George washed himself with paper towels in public bathrooms and ate almost nothing to make his dollars last.
He tried calling his family but to no avail.
"I tried to call them twice and they didn't answer both times. Then I was like, 'What's the use?'" he said.
Exactly why he was sent away remains a mystery. George's aunt told "20/20" that he assaulted classmates, abused her children and was out of control. She said she had no choice but to get him away from her family at any cost.
George denied that. When "20/20" checked in with police, officials at schools George attended and his grandparents, it found no record of serious behavioral problems.
Eventually, without his family's help, George found a place to stay. At a library, he came upon the name of a shelter for teens run by Larkin Street Youth Services. He also reenrolled in school.
He kept trying to reach his aunt. One day last spring, days before his high school graduation, she answered the phone.
It was a halting conversation, full of long silences on her end. He told her about his upcoming graduation ceremony. He was hoping, he said, that she would tell him she wanted to come.
But George didn't celebrate his graduation alone. His friends at the shelter filled the void, throwing a surprise party in his honor.
Today, George is a freshman at a community college in San Francisco. He continues living in a shelter but has reconnected with some of his family -- his grandparents. He spent Christmas with them.
It was a time, he said, of "a lot of shopping, love, arms around me."
Not all the teens we followed have been as fortunate.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has been investigating an electric car company co-founded by Democratic Virginia gubernatorial hopeful Terry McAuliffe, the Washington Post reported Friday.
The SEC subpoenaed documents from the car company, GreenTech Automotive, as well as bank records from a sister company called Gulf Coast Funds Management, according to the Post. Gulf Coast is run by Anthony Rodham, the brother of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The report said that the full focus of the investigation was unknown but that documents show it is at least partly focused on allegations the company “guarantees returns” to its investors.
The Post also noted that GreenTech had used a federal program that grants special visas to overseas investors who contribute at least $500,000 toward creating U.S. jobs. The program has come under extra scrutiny by the SEC recently over concerns that investors of companies are being misled or defrauded.
A spokesman for McAuliffe’s campaign told the Post that the candidate “has no knowledge of any investigation.”
Representatives from both GreenTech and Gulf Coast confirmed to the Post on Thursday that they had received subpoenas from the SEC and planned to cooperate with the investigation.
McAuliffe resigned as GreenTech’s chairman last year as he ramped up his campaign for governor, although his exit was not publicly disclosed until April.

State v. Criss
|23 S.E.2d 613,125 W.Va. 225
|15 December 1942
|STATE v. CRISS.
|Supreme Court of West Virginia
John C. Southern, of Clarksburg, for plaintiff in error.
William S. Wysong, Atty. Gen., and Kenneth E. Hines, Asst. Atty Gen., for defendant in error.
Upon a conviction of grand larceny, accompanied by a finding that he had twice before been sentenced to the penitentiary in the United States, the Criminal Court of Harrison County sentenced George W. Criss to the penitentiary for life. The Circuit Court of that county declined to review the case, and we granted this writ of error.
The indictment charged that the defendant "George W. Criss alias George LeMarr, alias T. H. Mitchell, alias Joseph Harry Mitchell" had been theretofore, in the United States, indicted, arraigned, tried, convicted and sentenced on three prior felonies, following which he, on the -- day of February, 1941, in the County of Harrison "one reel of approximately three hundred feet of No. 2 parallel duplex wire cable wound on simplex wood reel of the approximate value of Fifty Dollars, ($50.00), of the goods chattels, effects and property of Consolidation Coal Company a corporation, unlawfully and feloniously did steal, take and carry away, ***."
To this indictment, the defendant interposed a demurrer based on eleven grounds, and at the same time filed a motion to quash the indictment, assigning the same grounds. Both the demurrer and motion to quash were overruled. After the denial of a motion for a continuance, a trial to a jury was had, resulting in a verdict of "guilty as charged in the within indictment". A motion to set aside the verdict, assigning eighteen grounds, and a motion in arrest of judgment based upon three grounds, were made and overruled, and the defendant was sentenced to the penitentiary for the term of his natural life.
An application made to the Circuit Court of Harrison County for a writ of error, assigning eleven grounds, was denied, after which, in a petition to this Court, based on fifteen alleged errors, the case was brought here on writ of error. Of this multitude of assigned errors strewn throughout the record, most appear to have been abandoned, some insisted upon seem without merit, but others require serious consideration.
It is at once apparent that there must be a reversal in this case. The record before us discloses that upon the trial, copies of the former indictments in Webster County and in New Mexico were read to the jury. This alone constitutes reversible error. State v. Stout, 116 W.Va. 398, 180 S.E. 443. Also, instruction No. 1, given on motion of the State was as follows:
"The Court instructs the jury that if you believe by all the evidence in this case, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defendant, George W. Criss, at the time and place mentioned in the evidence, either alone or with Claude R. Rice, stole, took and carried away the reel of wire and spool mentioned and described in the evidence and belonging to the Consolidation Coal Company, a corporation, and if you further believe, beyond a reasonable doubt, that said property was of a greater value than $20.00, then you should find the defendant, George W. Criss, guilty as charged in the indictment in this case."
This was equally erroneous, since it did not require a finding that the defendant had been previously sentenced to the penitentiary in the United States in order to return a verdict of "guilty as charged in the indictment in this case." State v. Cline, W.Va., 22 S.E.2d 871, decided November 17, 1942. But more fundamental questions are raised.
At the threshhold of the case stands the indictment, the sufficiency of which is duly challenged. It purports to charge, not only a present offense of grand larceny, but also to assert that the defendant had theretofore been convicted of three other felonies within the United States as follows: (1) In 1924, in the United States District Court of New Mexico for the transportation of a stolen motor vehicle in interstate commerce, to which he is alleged to have pleaded guilty, and on which he was sentenced to the penitentiary for two years; (2) in 1926, in the Circuit Court of Webster County, West Virginia, for bank robbery, on trial and conviction for which, he was sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty-five years; and (3), in the District Court of the County and City of Denver in the State of Colorado, for armed robbery, to which he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the penitentiary of that State for a period not exceeding life nor less than ten years.
The indictment contained a purported copy, in haec verba, of each of these three former indictments, together with the substance of the subsequent orders showing arraignment, trial, conviction and sentencing. The setting out in full in the present indictment of these former indictments is assigned as error.
This form of indictment has been subject to the strongest disapproval by this Court, but has never been definitely held to be bad. The statute on which it is based does not require this degree of elaboration and emphasis of the former convictions. The statute is as follows:
(19) Code 61-11-18, 19, as amended by Chapter...

Yay! So Doom 4 is a real thing now.
I honestly have mixed feelings about the gameplay, the video they’ve shown off does look a little too stage-managed for my liking; you don’t really get a sense that the player is really in any danger at any point in the video, even at the climax, but then I guess that’s to be expected in this sort of trailer. Hopefully as we get nearer to release we’ll see enough to build up a picture of how the game actually plays, and how much fun it’ll be.
[Trailer below, longer video of actual gameplay below that.]
The latest installment in the Alone in the Dark series released just two days ago, with seemingly very little announcement on the part of Atari. I’m not sure if this means they think the game will be so good word of mouth alone will make it sell in the millions or they’re maybe just not convinced that anyone will think it’s any good.
Judging by the Steam reviews so far I’m going to verge on the side of the latter.
So here it is, finally. There was rumour of a remaster around the time the HD version of REmake was released but now we have an official announcement trailer for it… so that’s almost definite proof it exists, right you guys? Right???
RE: 0 had it’s faults, I’ll admit but I’m definitely excited to see this get re-released cross-platform. My only question now is, does this mean the other RE games will be getting remastered too?
Platform: Steam (Coming soon to PS4 and PSVita)
Release date: Now
Notes: For the purpose of this review I played Not A Hero using a controller and while playing with a a keyboard and mouse isn’t that difficult, using a controller is highly recommended.
There’s a large bunny rabbit man, called BunnyLord who wants to become to Mayor of Vodkaville (CHECK IF RIGHT), but he needs the help of various crazy characters, from the geezer lad Steve to Cletus the Shotgun loving snapback fashionista, to take down his rivals and the corrupt goons of the city, to do so naturally you’re using violence and lasers to kill lots of enemies to get him his wishes, but still, it’s not corruption because well….he’s a bunny man so we’re the good guys right. Right?
Not a Hero is brought to us by Roll7 who also created the award winning OlliOlli series.The basic principle of this game is simple. You have to clear out a building of enemies and completed specific objectives, then escape. To commit the pixelated colourful mass murdering, you have one weapon that is specific to your character, but has the ability to change its firing function based on absorbing dropped upgrades. Most weapons have the ability to become lasers, ricochet ammo or fireball projectiles, for a limited amount of rounds. There’s quite a roster of playable characters to choose from, 9 in total, all unlocked as you progress through the levels, 20 in all. (CHECK LEVEL COUNT)
You are given optional objectives which serve as point boosters and what ranking you will get at the end of each level. Giving the accent of some of the characters and the titles of the ranking achievements, it is safe to say that the world of this game is in 8Bit England.
Taking cover is pretty important in Not A Hero and In the first couple of levels, you would be forgiven for assuming that you can go in guns blazing and succeed. But tapping A to take cover or to slide tackle an enemy allowing you an execution shit, is pretty much paramount to ensure you survive the perils of each level and believe me each level increases in difficulty. Difficulty is not the correct way to use though it is apt, contrariness would describe the progressing of how tough it is to reach the exit of each level. Sometimes you can get locked between two enemies, with no way out and you are furiously shot at from each side, which does create an amusing ping pong effect with your body until you die. Enemies like to cover too, but timing and planning can get you through the trickiest of levels. Or just say to heck with it and go guns blazing for glory!
It’s easy to find yourself wanting to replay levels to try with new characters, catch collectibles and try to get higher rankings. Not A Hero takes common addictive (in a good way) gaming factors and lays them out simply, yet stylistically and with a touch of British humor which is a welcome change. No offense America.
The music is fast, 8bit style that usually accompanies this style of game and the sound effects are boisterous,with the voice actors performing amusing character accents and colloquialisms.
For games with scrolling text, it would be e beneficial to either have a text speed option or the ability to hold A to make the text scroll faster or pressing A skips the current line, but not the entire scene. That’s the problem there, that the entire scene will be skipped, when all you wanted to do was quickly read the dialogue and dive into the game.
Not A Hero is a game that will not only appeal to people who enjoy Hotline Miami, but especially to those that like that style of game but don’t necessarily want to play Hotline Miami.
Though humour is entirely subjective, (apart from Irish potato jokes, they’re just lame), Not A Hero offers wacky and harmless dialogue that isn’t trying to evoke any allegorical thoughts on society. Don’t get me wrong there’s nothing at all unrewarding or bad about games that do, but games are meant to be fun and immersive and sometimes games should be easy to pick up and put down, whilst feeling full and offering replayable value to gamers. Not A Hero ticks those boxes and with a lot of AAA games coming out as a whole package or in episodic format, the yearning to play a game you feel you can finish simply by picking a controller and going for it, is sorely needed, at least for this gamer.
