Application: Textile
The textile industry is undergoing major changes. This also applies to text printing. Conventional inks are
no longer opportune because of the enormous energy and water consumption.
Although the Longier textile printers allow to go for all kind of inks,
you will find the special advantages when using the newly designed
textile pigment inks.
These inks require only a simple type of impregnation, which can
be applied directly before printing and a subsequent fixing of the
pressure at about 160 °C for a few seconds.
Compared to traditional inks, the effort and the processing time are
drastically reduced, the environment is much less stressed. The use
of these inks improves the idea of fashion-on-demand and DTG
PhotoPrint by SAi offers a special function, which can be used to determine and compensate for the rapport
either through the ratio or by the size.
If you like to obtain a kind of
relief ( 2 1/2-D) surface structure
as a sample, you may use the UV-
printer and run the special White
layers for making the relief.
Worldwide there are different
suppliers of designs offering
entire packages or individual and
single licenses.
As examples, we will refer to a
small selection of the patterns of
Ravidesigns from India and
pattern designs from Austria.
On request, we can supply design
packages from different suppliers
together with our printers.
Please ask for special offers.
This print has been done
with fluorescent inks. Left
hand is normal light, right
hand with black light.
All samples displayed on this page have been printed using pigmented textile inks. The number of different colors
including fluorescent colors offer many new opportunities to creativity of textile designers.
Fluorescent inks or invisible inks which can be seen only when IR or UV light is applied are great for special visual
effects but even to place hidden markers on the textile.
For sure, if you like to use all the colors available your pinter
needs to be equipped with many print heads. Running
Longier TB2000 you will be well prepared.
Textildesign has to be repeatable like a wallpaper. Means, designers have to look very careful to their artwork.
Once the pattern and the repeat settings have been defined (see samples below), everything else is a
children's game using the special functions of the RIPs. In this way, patterns can be printed endlessly side by
side, roll to roll.
We are still working on our solution for direct printing on already finished garments (DTG).
The solution is already ready and available for sale, but we ask for your understanding that at this moment we would
like to offer it to interested parties only. However, since we are able to use both the pigment inks, including the
fluorescent inks and potentially expect other, ground-breaking inks, you may have a frequent close look.

When Wintertime comes, as well as bikes go inside the garage for just a couple of months, that is the ideal time and energy to pull out your patch selection and organize it a tad extra.
Patch collecting is undoubtedly an aged hobby although we generally visualize embroidered patches as a comparatively new phenomenon. Really, patches go back 1000s of yrs to the normal cultures of Asia, the center East, and Europe. Some of the earliest patches ever identified were being from historic Chinese dynasties that The majority of us haven't heard about. Patches similar to this were being useful for identification and were being stunning works of embroidery.
How Patches are Connected to the Military
Historians think It is really achievable that the idea of embroidered patches was originally developed for military identification. A warrior could be discovered by his team because of patch he wore. As armies became more subtle in the yrs, so did their embroidered patches. In the fashionable army now, persons might be identified by the patches they don which signify what their rank is and what division, brigade or Specific unit They are really a member of.
There've been men and women gathering patches for so long as they've been in existence. It is really doable to view how essential patches are from the collectors viewpoint when you consider that there have already been a few collections of armed service patches discovered from historical cultures. It is no surprise that lots of patch collectors as of late like to dedicate a person segment to navy patches.
Bicycle Rally Patches
Also essential to any sizable patch assortment could be the category of bike rally patches. As presently stated, the summertime months sees a variety of bike rallies going on everywhere in the states but will also in other parts of the earth including Europe, Canada and Australia. The way in which that patches have their own individual importance inside the navy, motor bicycle clubs also rely on them as a way of designation. The patches that motor cycle clubs use in recent times will denote not merely rank and placement within the club but also the club the biker belongs to.
You will discover many bikers who will buy a patch from every rally they drop by. They do so not simply to make identification with that rally, but in addition to gather and swap with other collectors. You could even notice that some museums will have sections on patches within their Screen much like the museum in Sturgis, SD. It could be exceptional to locate a patch assortment that didn't have a bit of bike rally patches Together with military services patches.
One of the good things about amassing patches is The point that You do not even must be a biker. Patch Baker Furnished You may have a passion for patches and some pounds to spend, then you will get begun. You could potentially start off swapping with Other individuals as soon as you have got several dozen patches as part of your collection.

Revealed: Plans for a MAJOR new development in Cork's South Docks
Huge news for Cork city.
O'Callaghan Properties announced this morning that it would be lodging plans with Cork City Council for a development that would transform Cork's South Docks.
According to proposals published today, the 4,162-acre site will stretch from Marina Walk onto the River Lee at Kennedy Quay to a boundary marked by Victoria Road and Mill Road to the east.
The first phase of this development, which is costed at €350 million and will cover 1 million square feet, promises massive changes to the area, including:
- 122,000 sq.ft. 130-bed rehabilitation hospital
- 450,000 sq. ft. of office and mixed use in 3 buildings ranging in height from 9 to 12 storeys
- 80,000 sq. ft. 11 storey building with 80 "build to sell" apartments
- The restoration and re-purposing of the derelict Odlums Mills to create two 7 and 9 storey buildings incorporating 84 one, two and three bed apartments, cinema, food hall, office space and a new 360-degree landmark rooftop destination in the city
- Creation of new public realm and amenity space facilitating a new connection to the river with net biodiversity, pedestrian and cycleway gains
The Rehabilitation Hospital will be operated by ORPEA Group, the French multinational healthcare company. The hospital will be the only such facility in Ireland outside of Dublin and is aimed at addressing a lack of regional healthcare infrastructure.
O'Callaghan have provided details on how they plan to preserve the history of the Odlums building, erected in 1933, saying: "It is proposed to retain all of the significant historic fabric to the front, rear and side facades of the original building along with the upper floor extension. Many of the structural elements to the interior are to be retained and restored.
"It is intended to remove the later, poor-quality construction to the south and the extension to the original western gable to reveal the original historic building gable.
"Significant features and fabric of architectural and/ or industrial heritage historic interest from areas of the building are proposed to be carefully removed and salvaged. It is intended to re-use and feature some equipment internally and externally where feasible."
The R&H silos will be demolished, however, with O'Callaghan Properties saying "from visual inspection it is… clear that there is a deterioration in elements of the buildings' fabric, in particular cracking and concrete spalling in the walls. In effect, these buildings and their materials have exceeded their design life intent."
The new project has been designed by architecture firm Henry J. Lyons, known for its work on buildings such as the Central Bank of Ireland and the Criminal Courts of Justice buildings in Dublin, as well as Navigation Square and Lancaster Quay in Cork.
Brian O'Callaghan, managing director of O'Callaghan Properties, said: "Cork city's population is projected to increase by 50% by 2040. Docklands will drive rapid economic development for Cork and already has shown itself capable of hosting large scale multinational and indigenous investment projects.
"It is largely under-utilised and presents a wonderful opportunity for the City to expand Eastwards. The development of Docklands is a major focus of Project Ireland 2040, the National Development Plan and is a key element of the current and proposed City Development Plan."

Visa and Mastercard have decided to pause their plans to categorize purchases made at gun shops. This move is considered a victory for conservative groups and Second Amendment advocates who feared that such categorization could discriminate against legal firearms purchases. However, this decision is seen as a loss for gun control groups who believed that the categorization of credit and debit card purchases could potentially help authorities identify red flags, such as significant ammunition purchases, before a mass shooting occurs.
Visa and Mastercard's plans to implement a separate merchant category code for gun shop purchases faced significant backlash from the gun lobby and conservative politicians. A group of 24 GOP state attorneys general wrote a letter threatening legal action against the payment networks if they went ahead with their plan.
"There is now significant confusion and legal uncertainty in the payments ecosystem, and the state actions disrupt the intent of global standards," said Visa.
Several state legislatures also have bills pending that would ban the tracking of purchases at gun shops, making it even more challenging for Visa and Mastercard to implement the categorization.
In a statement, Visa stated that the legal pushback was partly the reason they had paused their implementation. The company also cited the confusion and legal uncertainty in the payments ecosystem and the disruptive actions of the state.
Visa and Mastercard clarified that the decision to categorize purchases made at gun shops was outside their control. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which categorizes merchant codes, made the decision, and Visa and Mastercard were just following the standard. Gun control advocates lobbied for the change to ISO, not to Visa and Mastercard.

The Mysterious Loretto Chapel Miracle Staircase Has A Storied Past
Somewhere around 1878, the beautiful Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico was nearly complete.
Sadly, however, before it was done, the architect in charge of the design and implementation passed away. Normally this wouldn't be a huge problem. However in this case he died before telling anyone how he planned to get the choir up to the choir loft 20 feet above the ground floor.
A simple staircase would be the normal solution. Problem was, there wasn't any room for that. The nuns in charge were torn with what to do. They couldn't properly host their church service without a choir in their loft… so they scrambled around trying to find a solution.
Humble Beginnings Lead To Humble Visions
At first, they thought that a ladder would do the trick. This, however, didn't feel like an adequate solution to the nuns. Too dangerous, right? Legend has it that they prayed and prayed for a solution. Specifically, they prayed a novena to the Patron Saint of Carpenters, Saint Joseph.
Just when they thought that they'd have to figure out a different solution or perhaps place an unsafe ladder in a beautiful church, something strange happened.
A Mysterious Master Craftsman Who Never Claimed His Work
As the story goes, on the ninth day of prayer, a mysterious man came to the door of the church. Looking for work, he showed up with nothing but a box of rudimentary tools and a donkey.
The description that they gave of the man matches the biblical description of Saint Joseph himself. He's often shown with a set of tools, and of course the donkey is a familiar image in many nativity scenes.
The mysterious man didn't give his name, but he told the nuns to leave him be for awhile so he could build a solution for the choir loft dilemma. His only stipulation was that the nuns would keep the church clear of visitors while he was working.
The nuns agreed. From there, the story varies. Some people say they came back in just a couple days, and others say a few months. At some point, though, the nuns came back to the church to find the Loretto staircase: most beautiful staircase they'd ever seen.
And the man was gone.
The Construction & Materials Left Some Scratching Their Head
One of the puzzling parts of the story is that the materials he used for the staircase were not local. In fact, they were quite unusual, and were sourced from somewhere they couldn't identify, outside of Santa Fe. These days that wouldn't be a big deal, but back then it sure was. Especially considering the man had only a donkey.
Further, the staircase was built with a double helix shape, which included two 360 degree turns. This is both rare and extremely difficult.
To top it off, the miracle staircase has no visible supports. There was no centre pole to support the stairs, which means that the entire weight of the structure rested on the bottom step. The staircase is held together with wod pegs. No nails were used at all.
And the last puzzling and inspiring element: there are 33 stairs leading up to the choir loft; notably the age of Jesus when he was crucified.
What We Know About The Miracle Staircase Today
Today, master carpenters who've been consulted on the staircase consider it a work of art. Even using modern tools, building this structure would still be an incredible accomplishment.
To think that this mystery man built it with rudimentary tools, no electricity, and no one to help him is hard to fathom or understand.
An historian in the early 2000s claimed to have solved the mystery of the miracle staircase. Mary J. Straw Cook found evidence suggesting that a man named Francois-Jean Rochas had built the Loretto Chapel staircase. A local paper mentioned it in 1881, which does match up with the dates the nuns had recorded around construction and the staircase.
The religious implications remain, however. The church people think that Rochas was sent by St. Joseph to build the staircase. And it makes sense. Rochas was never paid, nor was he given any credit for his work. Sounds like the work of a saint to me.
Can I Visit The Loretto Chapel Staircase Today?
You can visit the Loretto Chapel staircase today! Or tomorrow, for that matter. The Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico is a really popular place to visit because of the amazing staircase.
The chapel is also super hot as a wedding venue. It's used as a museum as well, and is also featured in Unsolved Mysteries, as well as a documentary called "The Staircase" in 1998.
Here's the geo location if you want to go and check it out! The church looks absolutely stunning. Plus, it's not every day you get to see a true-blue miracle in real life.

Project: Coach Shop in Shop
Designed by Office for Metropolitan Architecture OMA
Location: New York, Tokyo
Website: oma.eu
Coach is ready to revolutionize your shopping experience, and on their way to achieving such goals they have enlisted the world renowned OMA studio to design the new Coach Shop. Discover more about the design after the jump:
From the Architects:
American fashion brand Coach has commissioned OMA to develop a new merchandizing system that accommodates Coach's wide diversity of products while returning to the clarity of Coach's heritage stores. The collaboration, led by OMA partner Shohei Shigematsu, will begin inside upcoming flagship stores in New York and Tokyo.
Since establishing its first workshop in 1941, Coach has diversified its range and style, while simultaneously broadening the spectrum of its retail environment: from factory stores to outlets, shop-in-shops, boutiques and flagships. Although this expansion transformed Coach from a specialist leather atelier to a global distributor of "democratized luxury goods", it also clouded the clarity of the brand's original, library-like stores which used a rigorous organizational system, categorically sorting products inside minimal wooden shelving at assisted counters.
Shigematsu commented: "We wanted a system that could tell the story of any of Coach's wide repertoire of products, whilst projecting the legibility of its original stores. We created a system of modular display units that can be assembled to respond to the specific needs of each locale. In typical instances they are used for display; in others, they come together as an interior fixture. These units can also enclose spaces for program or curation, and by creating enclosures, they can also act as façades. OMA's intention is to use combinations of this logical system to create magical spatial possibilities for Coach, in line with Coach's motto of 'logic and magic."
Set to open in September 2012, Coach's 1,930 square foot flagship shop-in-shop in New York's newly renovated Macy's Herald Square will mark the first manifestation of OMA's concept for Coach stores. OMA will also implement its concepts in the brand's upcoming new multi-level flagship in Omotesando, Tokyo, with expected completion in 2013.111 Both projects for Coach were designed by OMA's New York office, led by partner-in-charge Shohei Shigematsu with project architect Rami Abou-Khalil.

text: Scholastic Award Winner: Blonde Blonde Scholastic Gold Key Winner in Critical Essay By VSA Student, Grade 9 Inward: How will the song begin? Outward: Without an instrumental introduction or preview, Frank Ocean plunges into his musical masterpiece, the lyrics hitting listeners' ears first. His smooth, resonating voice blends with the quiet background instrumental, and creates a crisp, clear sound pleasant to listen to. Bad luck to talk on these rides. Mind on the road, your dilated eyes watch the clouds float. "Rides" and "road" indicate a drive, but "dilated eyes" insinuates a more provocative meaning. Frank drives with his lover, their heads in the clouds. Intoxicated with drugs or not, they are truly happy. Frank spent his life obsessed with cars. White Ferrari, had a good time… His obsession was his cliche, as he wrote in an essay for Boys Don't Cry magazine. Inward: I didn't really enjoy "White Ferrari" on first listen. Where was the melody? The beat? The rhythm? Frank song structure in "White Ferrari" was unlike anything I'd ever heard. It was raw and different. And what in the world was his deal with cars? What did a white Ferrari have to do with love or happiness or any of those other subjects songs are usually about? It felt like he was just saying "white Ferrari" to sound random and different, not because the words held any real meaning. I clicked off the song. Outward: Months later, I searched my Spotify recommended playlist for songs to listen to in the shower. As the water ran, I scrolled, uninterested in the repetitive nature of my playlist. There was nothing wrong with my playlist. My songs were great, all equipped with a catchy chorus, repetitive verses, and a memorable melody. But I was tired of them. My finger lingered on "White Ferrari." Should I give it another try? The song's familiar intro played, and I stepped under the running water. Inward: I noticed myself floating, as I closed my eyes, letting the water hit my head repeatedly. I felt light. Euphoric. Almost as if I was exactly where Frank was in the beginning of his song, high off of happiness with his beau, driving on the road in a white Ferrari. Outward: The song continues. The background music gets louder and other voices join in…until it quiets down again. He sings about his everlasting love for the mystery beau, even after a breakup. I care for you still and I will forever, that was part of my deal, honest. It's no secret that Frank loves cars. I mean, his song "Acura Integurl" was based on an actual Acura Integra. He even confessed his love for his BMW E30 via Tumblr. Yet "White Ferrari" in the song isn't about his love for a car so much as it is his love for a person. Inward: I think of objects in my life I feel attached to. Books? Clothes? Food? I wonder how Frank is able to use his love for cars to express his love for a person. I marvel at his ability to connect an inanimate object to such a broad, complicated, abstract topic such as love. The image of a white Ferrari, once so out of place, fits right into my mind. To him, a relationship means a promise of love and devotion, even after it ends. Love means a full-time job for Frank. A flaky, non-serious relationship clearly isn't the type he prefers. I, having never been in a relationship, debate what type of relationship I'd prefer. A loose, open relationship with no strings attached? Or one where I still have love for the other after it ends? It's difficult to imagine feelings remaining after a relationship ends. Perhaps after I experience the heartbreak he does in this song, I will. Outward: The last verse of the song comes…and with that, no chorus. In the entire song, there wasn't a single chorus to remember and sing. The only words that repeated were "White Ferrari" and "familiar." Another song on Blonde, "Godspeed," is similar; it does not contain a chorus. The exclusion of something so normal in pop culture seems to be Frank's songwriting forte. Inward: How could I remember a song with no chorus? With no melody to hum, surely this song would have left my head with a confused (negative) impression, right? I thought so. However, something about the song…perhaps it's the peaceful melody, the deep lyrics rich with meaning, or the unique setup that makes me want to press repeat. Instead of making it forgettable, the song structure helps the melody remain in the back of my mind. It makes me question everything I know about all the songs I have ever listened to. What makes a song a song? Does a song have to have a beat, a rhythm, a chorus, a bridge? Or can music be whatever the listener enjoys? Frank, I want to talk to you. There must be something in your songs that makes your fans keep coming back to your, needless to say, weirdly-structured songs. How did you do it? How did you sit down in your studio, pencil in hand, mind submerged in your lyrics, and think of this wild idea? Did you do it for fun? Did you do it knowing you would stretch the limits of music, overstep the borders, change the musical world? Or maybe it's more than the mechanical structure of your songs. Maybe it's the stories you tell, full of raw emotion, that enthrall listeners such as myself. I find myself empathizing with you, and my heart starts to ache, as if I'm the one in the toxic relationship. Were you aware your songs about heartbreak and relationships would captivate a young girl whose never even had her first kiss? Whatever it was, I think you're a damn genius for doing it. I want you to know you've changed the way I view music forever, and you did the same for millions, I presume. Your music made me more mature. I feel wiser, older, more capable of understanding the world around me. Thank you, Frank Ocean. Thank you for writing a strange song about cars and tying it to love and thus revolutionizing my views on the world. Outward: I'm sure we're taller in another dimension, you say we're small and not worth the mention. Frank whispers the last verse, singing lines of despair. He realizes that he and his partner do not work. While his mind wants to dream big and watch the world bloom, his partner's mind does not, and instead wants to stay within their relationship's walls. Frank, frustrated with the dynamic, is now able to find peace within himself rather than his failed relationship. He learns to leave the one causing his unhappiness, and find comfort, teaching listeners to never settle for a relationship that doesn't bring out the best in them. Inward: Hearing this song and listening to the lyrics thrusts me into a new reality, where I feel trapped in a relationship and desperately want to leave, yet I feel attached to this person. Many times, I have felt trapped inside of friendships. Despite the lack of romance, I still relate to Frank's lyrics about everlasting yet toxic love and newly found peace within myself. The lyrics are beautifully universal, such that any person, from a young girl with no romantic history, to an old woman with a bothersome husband, can place themself within the song and interpret it their own way. When I listen to this song, I am driving on the road with a mystery person, not necessarily a lover, head in the clouds, hands on the steering wheel of a White Ferrari.

There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the water. We need to go upstream and find out why they're falling in.

SIA's government security technology conference takes place May 16-17 in Washington, D.C.

Inngot CEO Martin Brassell is participating in a hybrid event, Intangible Asset Finance & Valuation, taking place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 27 July 2023.
The online and in person session has been co-organised by leading South East Asian IP firm, Adastra, and EUROCHAM Malaysia, an alliance of EU chambers of commerce which represents the EU business community in Malaysia.
Further details and booking information can be found here:
The event starts at 2.30pm Malaysian time (MYT) and runs until 5.30pm MYT (7.30 to 10.30 British Summer Time/BST).
Other speakers include: Neil Bellamy, national head of Technology, Media & Telecoms (TMT) at NatWest Bank in the UK; Dato Sri Mohan Kodivel, managing director of Adastra IP; Vincent Soh, co-founder and CEO of Malaysian finance group MoneySave; and representatives from leading Malaysian banks and finance companies, financial advisers, tech and healthcare companies and innovation agencies.
Areas to be covered will include IP-based finance trends and strategies, global case studies looking at companies which have successfully used IP valuations for funding purposes and the role of IP in peer to peer funding. There will also be a live interview with Neil Bellamy from NatWest UK around how the bank uses intangibles to inform funding decisions, and another with Soft Space, Malaysia's leading fintech, on its fundraising journey.
Inngot specialises in IP monetisation and IP-based finance and has worked in Malaysia since 2013. It was involved alongside UK innovation charity NESTA in advising on the creation of Malaysia's ground-breaking National Corporate Innovation Index (NCII), which concerned the development and calibration and launch of a tool to quantify the 'return on innovation' being achieved by participating Malaysian PLCs.
Martin Brassell is a world-recognised expert on IP and intangible assets and their use in securing business finance, particularly for SMEs.
His research and policy work includes co-writing two reports for the OECD – Secured lending for SMEs: making effective use of registries and intangibles (OECD, 2022) and Fostering the Use of Intangibles to Strengthen SME Access to Finance (OECD, 2019); co-writing the UK IPO's Banking on IP? and Hidden Value reports; and co-writing a book for Oxford University Press, Economic Approaches to Intellectual Property. In 2021, he was included in the IAM Strategy 300 list of the world's leading IP strategists.
In addition to research and policy projects, Martin also has real-world practical experience of running IP-rich businesses and of working as a high-level business coach and advisor on IP, IP valuation and strategic management.
Inngot and Adastra announced an alliance to help Malaysian companies better understand intellectual property and intangible asset value in January 2023. By providing access to Inngot's unique online IP tools, this new arrangement makes it easier for innovative Malaysian businesses to determine what their most valuable assets are worth, and explain that value to financiers, stakeholders, partners and potential licensees.

Resident Evil: How the game canon affects the Netflix series
The new series ties into the continuity of the games, so here's a refresher on all the context you need.
Video game adaptations don't have a great reputation, both in terms of general quality and respect to the source material, but Netflix's Resident Evil has devised a bold new strategy for dealing with the latter.
While on the surface, it appears to have very little to do with the popular franchise besides some shared monsters and the Umbrella logo, it is actually more closely connected than fans might expect.
Showrunner Andrew Dabb has confirmed that the events of the Resident Evil video games are canon to the Netflix series, with references to key events scattered throughout the eight-episode first season.
For those unfamiliar with the lore of the franchise, here are some key things you need to know.
Which games are canon in Netflix's Resident Evil?
Supposedly, all of them!
More like this
In an interview with ComicBook.com, showrunner Dabb explained: "The games are our backstory. Everything that happened in the games exists in this world. So like, the village is there. We might not get there 'til season 5, but it is in our world. We can play with those... as we're now moving ahead."
"Everything in the games is the backstory for the show. But again, we're doling it out in pieces. We're not being like, episode three, 'meet the Redfields', episode four, 'here's Leon'. And I'm sure there's a certain part of the fanbase that would be like, 'please do that version'.
"But for us, it was more important, [to] take you on this journey. And then as the journey goes on and on, we will touch on different quarters and aspects of the mythology."

What happened in the original Raccoon City?
Netflix's Resident Evil takes place primarily in New Raccoon City, which has the unfortunate honour of being named after a doomed locale from the early games.
In the first title, released on Playstation in 1996, a special operations squad from Raccoon City are sent to investigate a series of grisly murders in the vicinity of a seemingly abandoned mansion on the outskirts of town.
They get more than they bargained for when they discover all manner of gruesome monsters inside, from undead dogs to giant spiders, all of whom were horrifically transformed by a mutagen called the T-virus.
It was leaked to the world from a secret laboratory underneath the grounds of the mansion, which agents Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine and Barry Burton manage to destroy in the most optimistic of the game's multiple endings.
Nevertheless, the virus continues to spread and just two months later, the entirety of Raccoon City is infected, turning most of the residents into ravenous zombies (as depicted in Resident Evil 2).
A handful of survivors, including Leon Kennedy and Clare Redfield (sister to Chris), manage to escape before the US government destroys Raccoon City with an experimental vacuum bomb and covers up all evidence of the outbreak.
What is the Umbrella Corporation?
The Umbrella Corporation is an enormous pharmaceutical company with a wide array of subsidiaries, which allowed it to spread its tendrils into every facet of modern life.
Secretly, they were experimenting with biological weapons, which ultimately led to the creation of the T-virus and its resulting transmission through Raccoon City.
It would later emerge that the company wanted to harness the power of the virus to develop a new species of superhumans that would bring about huge societal change, with Umbrella execs serving as their hidden puppet masters.
A key driver in achieving this goal was one Albert Wesker.
Who is Albert Wesker?
Portrayed by Lance Reddick in the Netflix series, Albert Wesker was introduced in the first Resident Evil game as one of the Raccoon City operatives (or STARS) sent to investigate that eerie infested mansion.
Eventually, he is exposed as a double-agent working for the Umbrella Corporation and seemingly killed in an encounter with an organic bio-weapon known as Tyrant, in which he was impaled on the beast's gigantic claws.
However, what the STARS squad didn't know is that Wesker had previously participated in experiments with the T-virus, which had given him extraordinary healing capabilities.
From then, he was a recurring villain across the franchise until 2009's Resident Evil 5, when a dramatic showdown with Chris, Jill and new character Sheva Alomar led to his demise in a pit of lava.
This has caused some fans to question Dabb's claim that every Resident Evil game is canon to the show, as if that is the case, the writers have their work cut out for them to explain how Wesker is back – and why his personality has fundamentally changed.
On this point, Dabb told SFX Magazine: "In game five, Wesker was blown up by a rocket launcher inside of a volcano. It happens. We've all been there! But the Albert Wesker on our show is the Albert Wesker after that.
"I will say there will be a very good explanation of why he is back and why he is the way that he is. That explanation does not include that he happened to be wearing volcano and rocket launcher-proof clothes."
We'll see about that...

Android 5.0 might arrive at the end of the year, compatible for older devices
Those who were hoping to get an announcement for the Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie at Google I/O 2013 were a bit disappointed. However the company is following its own strategy for the releases of new updates of OS Android to assure enough time for manufacturers to catch up with the new versions. Fans of Android are eager to know more about the soon-to-be released Android 4.3 and the new devices Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition and the HTC One Nexus Experience.
Rumors say that we will see the update of Android later this month or in July. Does that mean that we can expect the introduction of Android 5.0 in the fall? The company will have at least several months for the developing and the optimizing of the update, if the rumors turn out to be true.
What we know so far about the Android 5.0 is that Google is focused on developing the update to be compatible to devices using 512MB RAM. If this happens, this will be a great gesture from Google for the owners of the older Android devices who will also be able to take advantage of the update. It is quite a challenge in front of manufacturers to develop the new software to be optimized to work well on older devices. We believe that Google will do a nice job in that matter. Some of the rivals of the company, like BlackBerry, Windows Phone and iOS also work to optimize their new software for the older models smartphones and tablets.
After the announcement of Galaxy S4 Google Edition and the HTC One Nexus Experience, it is time for the Sony Xperia Z that will run on stock Android to be introduced. Fans of Nexus are eagerly anticipating the launching of Nexus 5 in the summer as well.

Gregory Barker: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) what assessment her Department has made of the merits of supporting research into the costs and benefits of out-of-classroom learning; and if she will make a statement; [209284]
(2) what assessment she has made of the role of out-of-classroom learning in increasing (a) physical activity and (b) inclusivity among school children; and if she will make a statement; [209285]
(3) what practical steps will be taken to increase opportunities (a) within the curriculum and (b) outside the school day for trips and visits for school children as identified in her Department's five year strategy; and if she will make a statement; [209286]
(4) what guidance has been given to academies in relation to the promotion of outdoor learning; [209287]
(5) if her Department will asked Ofsted to conduct a special survey of outdoor education in all schools; [209539]
(6) what plans her Department has to commission further research into the contribution of (a) outdoor education and (b) biology fieldwork to the curriculum; and if she will make a statement; [209540]
24 Jan 2005 : Column 85W
(7) what steps she has taken to ensure that all students experience the benefits of outdoor education as identified in the recent Ofsted report; and if she will make a statement; [209541]
(8) what recent discussions she has had with the teaching unions regarding their position on educational visits; and if she will make a statement; [209542]
Mr. Stephen Twigg: Over the past few years the Department has both commissioned and jointly funded external studies to examine benefits and potential barriers for outdoor education; outdoor learning, including fieldwork; out-of-classroom learning, including museums and galleries and residential experiences; and out-of-hours learning. We may commission further research into specific aspects of some or all of these. We have no plans to ask Ofsted to survey outdoor education in all schools. We have not made an assessment of the role of out-of-classroom learning in increasing physical activity or inclusivity in schools. We have not sent any guidance to Academies on outdoor learning.
We are in talks with the NASUWT regarding their long-standing concerns about out of classroom safety. In particular, we are investigating with them what else we could do to help local authorities and schools ensure that investigations following pupil accidents are fair to school staff, as well as to pupils and their parents. The National Curriculum has statutory requirements in PE and geography for all pupils to experience learning outside the classroom. We are developing further practical steps to encourage schools to expand provision for all pupils, across and beyond the National Curriculum, including trips and visits.
Harry Cohen: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will set out (a) for the London borough of Redbridge and (b) for the London borough of Waltham Forest, for 1997 and 2004, (i) the pupil to teacher ratio and (ii) the pupil to teacher plus classroom assistant ratio. [209017]
Mr. Stephen Twigg: The data requested are shown in the table.
Miss McIntosh: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what representations she has received on the effect of pupil ratios on the allocation of funding to schools. [210130]
Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will publish regular information on the number of (a) schools and (b) children's centres that have been built, rebuilt or remodelled in each of the Department's programmes. [209448]
Mr. Stephen Twigg: We do not have this information across all of our programmes and have no plans to publish it. All local authorities and schools receive support for capital investment from us for their priority needs. In the main, we do not specify how they must invest it; they decide this on the basis of local asset management plans. We do not collect information about these local decisions, in order to keep administrative burdens to an acceptable level. Detailed information should be held locally.
Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will set intermediate targets for the number of secondary schools to be improved in the Building Schools for the Future programme. [209449]
Mr. Stephen Twigg: We aim to deliver Building Schools for the Future within 10 to 15 years from 200506, subject to future public spending decisions. The projects announced from the spending review 2004 will renew an estimated 380 secondary schools. We do not intend to set targets for schools to be included beyond each spending review period.
We will also support improvements to other secondary schools over the next three years through devolved formula capital allocations to every school, formulaic allocations to every local authority, the Academies programme, the Targeted Capital Fund, and the new joint 1619 capital budget.
Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what definition she uses of the term 21st century schools in the Building Schools for the Future programme. [209450]
Mr. Stephen Twigg:
Building Schools for the Future is the practical application of the Government's commitment to transform secondary education, and will help ensure that secondary pupils in every part of England learn in 21st century facilities.
24 Jan 2005 : Column 87W
To demonstrate what this could mean, we developed exemplar designs for schools fit for the 21st century. The exemplars show how to create high quality, modern school buildings with the latest integrated ICT systems. They show how to provide attractive, imaginative and stimulating environments, which are also safe and secure places for children to learn in. These are some of the requirements that are needed in a school for the future. They should also be inclusive, so that no child is left out and all can achieve their full potential, and be open to wider use, strengthening schools connection with their local communities. Overall, the transformation of the secondary school estate will help to raise standards and will play a crucial part in our ambitious programme of educational reform.
Mr. Dawson: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will list the local authority secure units which have closed since 2000; and what the bed capacity of each was at the time of closure. [209277]
Margaret Hodge: The local authority secure children's homes which have closed since 31 March 2000 are in the following table along with the approved number of residents at time of closure.
Secure children's homes | Number of residents |
Briars Hey | 8 |
Brunel | 8 |
Dales House | 8 |
Stamford House | 26 |
Stoke House | 14 |
Thornbury House | 7 |
Paul Holmes: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many claims of unlawful discrimination have been (a) received and (b) cleared in favour of the claimant by the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal in England in each year since 2002; and if she will make a statement. [208112]
Margaret Hodge: In the school year 2002/03 the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal (SENDIST) received 104 claims of discrimination and registered 78 of these. The other 26 fell outside the Tribunal's powers. In 2003/04 it received 108 claims and registered 81.
The SENDIST decided 14 cases in 2002/03 and upheld three of these. In 2003/04 it decided 69 claims and upheld 21.

Navigating the legal system can be a daunting process, especially when bail bonds come into play. While bail bonds offer a temporary reprieve for the accused by allowing them to stay out of jail until their court date, it's crucial to remember that this freedom comes with certain conditions. Here are some reasons why a bail bond might be revoked and what this implies for the accused.
Violating Bail Conditions
When a judge grants bail, it's often accompanied by specific conditions. These conditions can range from travel restrictions to mandatory drug tests or attending specific programs. If the defendant doesn't adhere to these stipulated terms, the court may see this as a direct violation and a reason to revoke the bail bond.
Committing New Crimes
While out on bail, the accused is expected to maintain lawful behavior. If the individual commits another crime during this period, the court can consider this a blatant disregard for the law and its boundaries. As a result, the initial bail bond can be revoked as the accused has proven to be a risk.
Failing to Appear in Court
One of the primary reasons for bail bond revocation is the defendant's failure to appear at scheduled court dates. This act is often referred to as "jumping bail." The court interprets this as a sign of evasion, leading to immediate revocation of the bond.
Interfering with Witnesses
If there's any indication that the defendant is trying to tamper with witnesses, either by threatening, influencing, or bribing them, it's seen as an obstruction of justice. Such actions jeopardize the integrity of the judicial process and often result in the immediate revocation of bail.
Change in Case Dynamics
Sometimes, the dynamics of the case itself can lead to bail bond revocation. For instance, if new evidence surfaces that strengthens the case against the defendant or if previous evidence is proven false, the court might re-evaluate the bail conditions. If the judge believes there's a higher risk now, the bail can be revoked.
What Happens After Revocation?
Once a bail bond is revoked, the accused is taken back into custody and remains there until the trial's completion or until bail is reinstated (which is rare). Additionally, any collateral or money put up for the bond is at risk of being forfeited.
A bail bond isn't a guaranteed ticket to freedom but rather a privilege offered to the accused based on several factors, including the nature of the crime, past records, and more. It's a system built on trust, and any violation of this trust can result in serious consequences. If someone you know is out on bail, it's essential they understand and respect the bond conditions to prevent revocation and the subsequent repercussions.

ROCK CITY FALLS, N.Y. — Summer is underway at The Mansion of Saratoga, where music-lovers are invited to enjoy big performers in an intimate venue for the 801 Concert Series, along with other weekly features such as Sunday brunch and Restaurant Mondays throughout the season.
The dinner concert series, which kicked off on Thursday with a performance by R&B recording artist Morgan James, has a packed lineup of top talent set to appear in the coming weeks and months.
The Mansion of Saratoga's 801 Concert Series is intimately arranged at tables, cabaret-style on the great tented rear deck of the historic George West Victorian mansion, overlooking the rose gardens. The name of the series is derived from the mansion's address, 801 Route 29 in Rock City Falls, outside of Saratoga Springs.
Nine other stars will follow James this summer completing what owner Jeff Wodicka says is the biggest and most exciting season yet at what has become known as the Saratoga region's most unique and intimate venue.
Wodicka is quick to note that the 801 Concert Series, which seats up to 130 guests, is similar in size and spirit to Feinstein's / 54 Below on W 54th St, New York City.
Tony Nominee Sharon McNight will become Sophie Tucker on July 21 as she brings her award-winning stage show to the 801. Finishing the month are the Tony Award-nominated Callaway Sisters, Liz and Ann Hampton Callaway, for two nights, July 29 and 30, with "Broadway the Calla-way."
August and September bring the music of nightclub and cabaret star Nicolas King, Broadway's Matthew Scott and the comedy of stage and TV star Judy Gold. Nicole Henry, who electrified The Mansion's 801 crowd in 2021 with her Whitney Houston tribute, returns to present a concert based on her new jazz album "Time to Love Again." The baritone voice of Broadway's Nathaniel Stampley ("The Color Purple," "Lion King," "Porgy & Bess," "Ragtime") promises to leave audiences in awe, and three-time Tony Nominee and Tony Winner for "Drowsy Chaperone," Beth Leavel closes out the season.
Tickets to 801 Concert Series events range from $60 to $75. The mansion doors open at 5:30 p.m. with executive chef Rick Bieber providing a bistro menu for those interested in dinner or snacking prior to or during the 8 p.m. performances. A full bar serves drink specials as well as beer and wine by the bottle or glass.
In addition to this concert series, the popular weekly Sunday brunch returns to The Mansion of Saratoga starting July 10, from 9 a.m .to 2 p.m., and will continue throughout racing season.
Restaurant Mondays, with seating alfresco in the gardens or on the great tented deck, will also continue from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. every Monday night, which restaurant and hospitality industry workers can receive a 10% discount.
More information and online ticket purchasing for upcoming 801 Concert Series performances are available online at https://www.themansionsaratoga.com.

CAITLYN Jenner is tipped to leave the jungle tonight and her partner Sophia Hutchins has hinted she's flying to Australia to meet her.
The 70-year-old reality star's odds have dropped to 33/1 and she's expected to be voted off in the double eviction.
But it seems she'll have a friendly face to greet her as Sophia shared a photo of herself at the international terminal at Los Angeles airport on Instagram stories.
The 23-year-old has been fiercely protective of Caitlyn while she's been in the jungle and launched a furious attack on GMB host Piers Morgan for asking "b*** ***t questions" about their relationship.
It's thought Sophie will meet Caitlyn on the bridge when she leaves after she was snubbed by her daughters Kylie and Kendall for a second time on I'm A Celeb last night when they failed to write her a letter from home.
Sophia previously said they are just partners and was shocked when Piers asked if there was any hanky panky between them.
Asked about Caitlyns relationship with the Kardashians after much mud-slinging since the stars transition in 2015, Esther added: You know, I think its pretty good [but] its rather slow moving.
Caitlyn hit out at her ex Kris in her Vanity Fair cover story which revealed her new look in 2015, accusing the momager of making her feel weak and inferior and claimed she knew all about her desire to be a woman.
She even blamed the family matriarch for the breakdown of their marriage, saying the cause was:
"Twenty per cent gender and 80 per cent [was] the way I was treated.
HOAR understands that ITV bosses forked out more forCaitlyn, the worlds most famous transgender woman, than anyone else this year topping 500,000.
