The list also reveals the wealthiest teenager in the UK - Luke Portman who, at 16, stands in line to inherit £850m, including a 100-acre chunk of central London.
The Observer's list of the 30 richest heirs aged 16 to 30 has been trawled from an analysis of the top 100 inherited aristocratic fortunes in the UK. These valuations are based on the ownership of land and art treasures. On those occasions where we have evidence of money held in trusts we have included it in the valuation.
But the nature - and purpose - of the trusts means that they are kept from public scrutiny. Using the recently published Inland Revenue Valuation Office Property Market Report it has been possible to make a more accurate assessment of the value of the land owned by these people. In some cases this has lead to changes in valuations since last year.
Sources include: Inland Revenue Valuation Office Property Market Report autumn 1999, Great Landowners of Great Britain by Bateman, Vacher's Parliamentary Guide, The Treasure Houses of Great Britain, London Residential Research Ltd and Debrett's Peerage and Baronetage 2000.
1 Hon Luke Oliver Berkeley Portman, 16
Head of family: Viscount Portman
Will inherit £850 million
Luke Portman has now turned 16, and assumes his position at the head of our list. The Portmans, through their trust, Portman Settled Estates, own about 100 acres of land north of London's Oxford Street. Based on the latest research, by London Residential Research Ltd, the value of each square foot of this holding (at £400 per square foot it runs to 4.3m sq ft) is £1.7bn. Because of the mix of leases and tenancies, which make up the estate, local estate agents suggest we take 50 per cent off the valuation to arrive at a figure of £850m.
Luke Portman's father became head of the family after the death in May of his grandfather at his Caribbean hideaway on Antigua. It is likely that he too will become the main beneficiary of the estate at an early age since his father (Viscount Portman) inherited at the age of 11 for tax reasons.
2 Prince William Arthur Philip Louis of Wales, 18
Head of family: HRH The Queen
Will inherit up to £700 million
It is not just the hopes of the Royal Family resting on the shoulders of Prince William. There are several tabloid editors hoping that he will become as a big a circulation boost as his mother used to be. Tales of wild parties, friends linked to drugs and possible liaisons with everyone from Britney Spears to a string of debutantes, have kept the media happy.
In financial terms, come the day he inherits, Prince William will receive the Duchy of Cornwall - a huge estate of 147,000 acres, mostly in the west of England. It produces an annual income of about £6m for his father and is valued at £290m by the estate trustees. But the more accurate Inland Revenue Valuation Office figures for land in those counties, plus 30 or so acres in London, yields a figure closer to £700m.
He also inherits many millions from Princess Diana, as well as being likely to inherit from his grandmother and his great-grandmother. Highgrove, Prince Charles's country house and estate, will also go to his eldest son, although the organic farming activities probably won't add much in terms of cash income. The experience of his father suggests that the son could have a long wait.
3 Hon Nathaniel Philip Victor Rothschild, 29
Head of family: Lord Rothschild
Will inherit £500 million
Described by his PR man as a 'shrinking violet', Rothschild junior is the place where old money meets new media. The eldest son of Lord Rothschild has inherited the family's financial acumen and has been made responsible for the family's increasing investment in everything 'net'.
Along with the land and art trappings of most aristocrats, the Rothschilds are adding the internet and e-commerce to their empire. In the past four months the Rothschild family has bought an undisclosed stake in New Media Investors, a venture capital company which has pumped money into new media start-ups including lastminute.com.
When New Media Investors floated on the Alternative Investment Market in November - after the Rothschilds had bought their stake - the company was valued at £88m. There have been further investments: £3m into the natural health website Clickmango (in conjunction with another venture capitalist); and, with Lord Weinstock, £10m was poured into Star Technology. These investments have propelled Nathaniel Rothschild on to the boards of both New Media Investors and Star Technology to protect his family's interest. The link with New Media Investors came via a mutual friend - at a point when the company was expanding. 'He brings a wealth of contacts,' says a spokesman for NMI, who adds that the Rothschilds definitely 'intend to increase their exposure in this area'.
But this is where he displayed his shrinking violet tendencies by declining to discuss the family's e-business interests with The Observer. After schooling at Eton and a history degree at Wadham College - where he was fined £20 for driving a car without an MOT - he joined fund manager Lazard's, then went to work at Gleacher, the corporate finance firm now owned by NatWest. He currently occupies a variety of positions - and holds a 50 per cent stake - in NR Atticus, Atticus Management and Atticus Capital, a hedge fund, which controls funds approaching £312m.
During his period in the City he found the time to meet and secretly marry Annabelle Neilson in Las Vegas in a rare show of impetuousness which ended in divorce. His father now describes him as 'an eligible bachelor'. But not a 'shrinking violet'.
The Rothschild inheritance is difficult to quantify - not just because of the value of their internet interests. Nathaniel Rothschild will have to share his father's enormous wealth with his three older sisters. However his direct inheritance will include art, land, family companies and institutions plus his father's stake in Rothschild Continuation, the Swiss-based holding company for the Rothschild interests which has stakes in many of the family enterprises, including the bank NM Rothschild.
His father has further stakes in three quoted companies: RIT Capital Partners, Value Realisation Trust and St James Place Capital. But behind this wealth there is the actual Rothschild family fortune hidden in a series of trusts in Switzerland and rumoured to be worth £40bn. This will prove to be a conservative valuation of what Nathaniel Rothschild inherits, especially if some of the family's new media investments start to pay off.
4 Hon William Guy Vestey, 17
Head of family: Lord Vestey
Will inherit £340 million
It was once said of the Vesteys that they lived 'not on the interest built up by their estate but on the interest of the interest'. In those terms life has come unstuck for the family since the collapse of the Vestey empire and the liquidation of the Dewhurst butchers' chain in 1995. But don't shed too many tears - the Vesteys were still left with an estimated £650m, at least half of which belongs to the father of William Guy Vestey. Additionally, they own the 5,000 acres of Stowell Park in Gloucestershire, which, at £3,000 per acre, is valued at £15m.
In stark contrast to Vestey (who was Page of Honour to the Queen from 1995 to 1998 - which means he stood around and looked pretty), Mark Brown, his anarchist cousin, and the grandson of Sir Derek Vestey, was charged with masterminding the anti-capitalism march that turned violent in the City of London on June 18 last year.
5 Earl Compton, 27
Head of family: Marquess of Northampton
Will inherit £200 million
Daniel Bingham, as he is known, has had more stepmothers than most, his father having married five times so far. But that will have little effect on his inheritance.
Of more significance could be a legal judgment over ownership of the Sevso hoard of ancient Roman silver which is valued at £40m. When the collection was put up for sale in New York in 1990 the authorities impounded it, and while the family won the legal battle over ownership, buyers have been discouraged as they might be hit later with a further legal challenge.
The family owns 5,000 acres of Surrey, plus 25,000 acres in the Midlands, giving a total wealth of £100m in land alone. Aside from the Sevso hoard, Bingham's family has art treasures in both his stately homes, conservatively valued at £100m. But the huge legal costs in establishing ownership of the Sevso treasure - the Hungarian, Lebanese and Yugoslavian governments were among those contesting ownership - and the question over any future sale have lead us to reduce his valuation to £200m.
6 Hon Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 30
Head of family: Marquess of Salisbury
Will inherit £200 million
The Cecil family (pronounced like 'thistle', not 'vessel') has been a venerable Tory institution for centuries - during Queen Victoria's reign, one ancestor was three times a prime minister. Last year Robert Gascoyne-Cecil's father - Viscount Cranbourne, one of the more dynamic parents in this list - was sacked as Tory leader in the House of Lords after going over William Hague's head and negotiating the abolition of the hereditary peers directly with Tony Blair.
Cranbourne is also a member of a group of Premier Oil shareholders attempting to oust the current management team due to Premier's floundering share price. Their proposals acknowledge the ethical issue of Premier's business in Burma but they propose to sell off the Burmese assets (as well as interests in Pakistan and Indonesia) for financial reasons and because they fear retribution if the Burmese regime falls.
The family fortune consists of 3,000 acres in Dorset valued at £9m, 10,000 acres in Hertfordshire worth a further £28.6m plus an unknown quantity of land in London. Some of the Hertfordshire land is development land, worth, according to the Inland Revenue, £850,000 per acre. Treasures going back to Elizabethan times at Hatfield House, the family home, are valued at £100m and there are investments in various trusts. Cranbourne retains his seat in the House of Lords under the life peerage of Lord Gascoyne-Cecil.
7 Viscount Macmillan, 26
Head of family: Earl of Stockton
Will inherit £200 million
Dan Macmillan is the great-grandson of former Tory prime minister Harold Macmillan but is perhaps better known as Jade Jagger's intermittent boyfriend of two years. She last split up with him on New Year's Eve, citing his incessant nocturnal partying, which, for a Jagger to find excessive, must have been truly heroic.
He has had a stab at modelling, acting, art and fashion design, establishing a clothing label, and is now pursuing an interest in photography. But he will not be following his father Alexander Stockton into the family publishing business. Stockton was quietly removed from the chairmanship in 1990 and is currently president - the family sold its majority stake (71 per cent) to German publisher Holtzbrinck back in 1995.
Dan Macmillan grew up at Birch Grove, the family home in Sussex (house guests have included John F Kennedy and de Gaulle, but not in the younger Macmillan's memory). Rather, his global social life now revolves around Ibiza and Notting Hill. The family fortune comes in the form of cash from the remaining stake in the Macmillan Group plus a small estate in Devon and property in London.
8 Viscount Lymington, 19
Head of family: Earl of Portsmouth
Will inherit £190 million
Oliver Wallop's father is better known as one of those who bankrolled Neil Hamilton's failed libel action against Mohamed Al Fayed last December. In a move which suggests he enjoys giving away money to lawyers, Wallop senior also previously supported Count Nikolai Tolstoy's failed legal action in the Eighties.
But it will be comforting to his son Oliver Henry Rufus, whose mother is the author Candia McWilliam, that there is plenty of money where the Hamilton and Tolstoy funds came from. The Earl is now married to Annabel Fergusson. The 19-year-old Wallop stands to inherit the family mansion and 3,000 acres near Basingstoke, as well as a stake in the Grainger Trust, his father's property company, and some very valuable art treasures. Based on his previous sales for development, we calculate that five per cent of the estate has development potential, fetching £143m, while the remaining 2,850 acres are worth £8m. The family stake in the Grainger Trust is valued at £12m, while their art treasures are valued in excess of £30m.
9 Hon Jesse David Suenson-Taylor, 23
Head of family: Lord Grantchester
Will inherit £176 million
Suenson-Taylor's father is the third Lord Grantchester, a rare Labour peer who describes himself as a dairy farmer in Crewe, Cheshire, and is also chairman of a small milk producer, the South West Cheshire Dairy Association. His grandmother, the dowager Lady Grantchester, steered the Littlewoods organisation back on to an even keel after turbulence in the late Eighties and early Nineties.
Suenson-Taylor, who maintains a low profile, will inherit an 11 per cent share of the £1.6bn Littlewoods fortune - the basis for this year's valuation. His inheritance has not shrunk by £64m since last year; we have just cleared up confusion over his stake in the Littlewoods family pot.
10 Hon William Boscawen, 21
Head of family: Viscount Falmouth
Will inherit £150 million
The history of the Boscawens goes back to 1264 and reaches the present via a string of beheadings and rebellions. Now the family are the largest landowners in Cornwall with an estate almost twice the size of Prince Charles's Cornish holdings, with 40,000 acres worth £117m. If just one per cent of the estate is development land (fetching £175,000 in the region), the value shoots up by a further £70m - and the head of the family is well known for the number of planning applications he submits. There is also an estate in Kent. Grandfather, father and son are Etonians and live on, and manage, the estate. The Boscawens still appoint priests of the Church of England in five parishes around the family mansion near Truro.

Panthers nip Lions in rematch, 50-47 Monitor Staff Reports MABANK–A strong start enabled the hosting Mabank Panthers to hold off the Kaufman Lions long enough for a 50-47 victory Tuesday. The win in the second-round opener gave Mabank (4-2) a home-and-home split with the Lions in District 13-3A basketball play, and kept them in the running for a playoff spot behind unbeaten Ferris. Mabank's boys were scheduled to visit Eustace Friday. Tuesday, Feb. 5, the Panthers will host the league-leading Ferris Yellowjackets in a key second-round rematch, and Friday, Feb. 8, the Panthers will travel to Crandall to face the Pirates. Each evening opens with 4:30 p.m. sub-varsity games. In the first-round contest at Kaufman Jan. 11, the Lions edged the Panthers 58-57 in overtime. Tuesday, the Panthers got off to a quick start, posting an 8-0 lead before the Lions could break the ice over their basket. Mabank opened a 15-4 lead in the first quarter behind six points from Kolton Browning and four from Tray Phillips. The Lions began to come back strong in the second quarter, outscoring the Panthers 18-10 to pull within three at halftime, 25-22. David Miles (six points) and Nick Taylor (five points) keyed the run, as the Panthers' shooting cooled considerably, with Browning scoring six of Mabank's 10 points. The Panthers also started the second half strong, outscoring the Lions 12-7 in the third quarter to take an eight-point lead into the fourth quarter. In the final stanza, the Lions tried to make a run behind 3-point baskets from Kevin Dotie and Ayron Miles, but the Panthers held them off by again posting an outstanding effort at the free throw line. Mabank hit 9-of-11 attempts from the charity stripe in the fourth quarter, including 6-of-7 by Browning, to hold off the Lions, who hit just 2-of-7 from the free throw line in the period. Browning led all scorers with 20 points, including a stellar 10-of-11 from the free throw line, while Albin Gashi added 15 points (11 in the second half). The Panthers also got seven points from Haydon Blair, five points from Phillips, two points from Caleb McKee and a free throw from Oliver Wedemeyer. Deon Wells led the Lions with 12 points (nine in the second half), as both David Miles and Taylor finished with nine points.
Kemp girls bop Eustace Monitor Staff Reports EUSTACE–With strong runs in the second and fourth quarters, the Kemp Lady Yellowjackets posted a 65-39 win over the hosting Eustace Lady Bulldogs Tuesday. The win broke a four-game skid for the Lady 'Jackets and improved their District 13-3A basketball record to 3-5, while the Lady Bulldogs fell to 1-7 with the loss. Eustace was scheduled to host Mabank Friday, while Kemp hosted Crandall.

Both teams will wrap up the second round of district play and the regular season on the road Tuesday, Feb. 5, when Kemp travels to league-leading Kaufman and Eustace visits Crandall. Tuesday's slate opens with 4:30 p.m. sub-varsity games. In their first-round contest at Kemp, the hosting Lady 'Jackets won by 24 points, 55-31, and in Tuesday's second-round rematch on the Lady Bulldogs' home court, the Lady 'Jackets won by 26 points. The first quarter ended in a 10-10 tie, as both teams pressed hard on defense. Senior guard Sarah Smith led the Lady 'Jackets with four points, while the Bulldogs got some key free throws from Jaqlynn Bless, who hit 5-of-8 from the charity stripe in the opening period. In the second quarter, however, the Lady 'Jackets edge in quickness began to manifest itself, particularly on the defensive end. Guard Amanda Lawrence got a number of fast-break opportunities off Lady Bulldog turnovers, and scored 11 of her 13 points (including 5-of-6 from the charity stripe) during Kemp's 19-6 second-quarter run. In fact, the Lady 'Jackets hit 9-of-12 free throw attempts during the second quarter to help forge a 29-16 halftime lead. The Lady 'Jackets did not shoot a free throw in the second half, and the Lady Bulldogs shot only one, and missed. Very balanced scoring marked the Kemp effort in the third quarter, as six different players scored, led by seven points (including a 3-point basket) from Brandy Simmons. Eustace countered by going inside to senior Brisha Ward, who scored six of her eight points in the third quarter, and shooting from the outside, as Cassie Freeman hit two treys and Nicole McNeel a third. With a 17-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, the Lady 'Jackets continued to spread their scoring around, while the Lady Bulldogs continued to shoot from outside, as Jenny McConathy and Amber Perkins both hit 3-point baskets, but got nothing else. The result was a 17-8 scoring edge for the Lady 'Jackets, forging the final 26-point margin. "In the second half, we continued to shoot the ball well, and the girls continued to play tough defense throughout the game," Kemp coach Vincent Morgan said later. Smith led all scorers with 16 points, while Lawrence finished with 13 points. Kemp also got eight points from Michelle Ritterbach, seven each (including 3-point baskets) from Brittany and Brandy Simmons, four points each from Shelbie Wright, Shannon Shipp and Chelsey Mulvaney, and two points from Breanna Griffin. Jessica McConathy (two treys), Freeman (two treys) and Ward all scored eight points each to lead the Lady Bulldogs. Eustace also got five points each from Perkins and Bless (one trey), three points (one trey) from McNeel and two points from Jessica McConathy.

Post a new topic to the Roundtable Discussion discussion |
Subject: | RE: mathproblemsusingalloperation |
Author: | Aisyah |
Date: | Mar 26 2004 |
I want to know step by step how to do a math problem using all four operations
of math, please can you help me...
Dear Yari, if you mean the four basic operation is +,-,x and divisional
operations then the simple rule you have to follow is this:
solve the multiplication and divisional operation sign first which ever comes
first from left to right. then solve the additional and subtraction operation
sign, also which ever comes first from left to right. However if the additional
or the subtraction sign is in a bracket, then you have to solve that one first
regardless where it is place in the problem.( Any operation in a bracket has to
solve first) Solving the operation sign means that you use the two numbers which
are on the left and right of the operation sign. After getting an answer, the
answer will be use to solve the consecutive operation sign.
I hope, I did not confuse you further. If you can give one example of the
problem, it might be easier to explain.

LOVE FAILURE movie review: A treat to watch
Love Failure is a contemporary story that highlights the confusions among youth, their dreams, super sensitive nature and ego trips in a realistic manner
Actor Siddharth's maiden production venture made under the banner of Y Not Studios is a well-made movie with a good breezy narration and trendy presentation. Love Failure is a sincere attempt that has no room for a cinematic and melodramatic narration. The screenplay is tight and dialogues are contemporary and it makes the film connect with the audiences. The honesty of the producers and director is apparent in the film that's made with good quality content and without using the usual commercial elements in the script. Director Balaji Mohan's creativity shows as he narrates the story in an ultra cool fashion. The film is backed by tight and interesting script with no illogical sequences and the focus remains on a realistic presentation. One can relate the sequences with what's happening around us.

Mike McQueary told a friend from Penn State that he stopped an alleged assault by Jerry Sandusky on a 10-year-old boy in 2002 and went to the police about it.
In the email dated Nov. 8 from McQueary's Penn State account and made available to The Associated Press by his friend on Tuesday, the assistant coach writes that he stopped the sexual assault and discussed it with police afterward.
"I am getting hammered for handling this the right way ... or what I thought at the time was right,'' he says. "I had to make tough impacting quick decisions.''
An email seeking comment from McQueary was not immediately answered.
Sandusky, a retired Penn State assistant coach, is accused of sexually assaulting eight boys over a 15-year span.

The mayor of Lachine says he's prepared to take to the streets with pot and pans to save the Lachine Hospital.
Borough mayor Claude Dauphin said Monday he's prepared to demonstrate after Quebec's health minister announced plans to remove it from McGill University Health Centre's jurisdiction and run it as a French institution.
"All we know is it's a bad decision from the patients' point of view," said Dauphin, who said they're organizing protests to let their voices be heard, after the government did not consult with hospital management before announcing the plan.
Formerly run by the local health and social services network – the CSSS LaSalle-Dorval-Lachine, the intensive care unit was closed in 2005. In 2006 the emergency room closed.
The MUHC took over in 2008, and since then, the hospital has been thriving, said Marquette MNA Francois Ouimet, who said he would like to meet with Health Minister Rejean Hebert to discuss the history of the hospital.
"He will be penalizing patients and he will be punishing this hospital in ways which we tried to move away from 5-6 years ago by entering into a partnership with McGill university. He wants to bring us back into a situation that was a nightmare for the hospital," said Ouimet.
Hebert has stated he wants to reintegrate the hospital into the French-language CSSS, even though the hospital, though run by the bilingual MUHC, is actually mostly French.
For patients it all comes down to care, and some fear the move will cause problems
"We have 120 dialysis patients that were supposed to be transferred to Lachine," said Clarise Samuels of the MUHC Users' Committee. "Where are these stations going to go?"
The Montreal Health and Social Services Agency announced Monday it will soon appoint someone to analyze the move and proceed to consultations.
The agency plans to announce the fate of the hospital in May.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Princeton, NJ, United States, 2007/03/16 - EPAM wins as the No.1 of Top 10 ITO Offshore: Eastern/Central Europe and the No.1 of "Top 10 ITO: Portals & Enterprise Content Management" within Top 50 Best Managed Outsourcing Vendors survey. NYSE: EPAM
EPAM Systems, Inc., the leading global offshore software development services company with development centers in Central and Eastern Europe, has been honored with a series of awards from the "Top 50 Best Managed Outsourcing Vendors" initiative. The rank was based on a comprehensive survey and analysis of 872 outsourcing vendors in 63 countries conducted by Brown-Wilson Group, a not-for-profit outsourcing management consulting firm, the author of "The Black Book of Outsourcing". Following its inclusion in "50 Best Managed Outsourcing Vendors", EPAM has been selected the best-of-breed software engineering services provider in the sub-lists of "Top 10 ITO Offshore: Eastern/Central Europe" and "Top 10 ITO: Portals & Enterprise Content Management".

"We were impressed with the outcome of the survey that had yielded remarkable responses helping to screen the 50 global top performing vendors, with the alignment of forces sometimes significantly differing from that of the mainstream," said Doug Brown, the co-author of "The Black Book of Outsourcing". "The notable fact is that we stayed completely unbiased and only had to tally the satisfaction ratings. EPAM's clients had stated their choice by rating the company so highly. The admirable position within a number of sub-categories of the "Top 50 Best Managed Outsourcing Vendors" testifies to the company's outstanding capability to deliver offshore software development services and solutions to the client's best satisfaction. Congratulations!"

Synthetic pattern generation is one of the strategies to overcome the curse of dimensionality, but it has its own drawbacks. Most of the synthetic pattern generation techniques take more time than simple classification. In this paper, the authors propose a new strategy to reduce the time and memory requirements by applying prototyping as an intermediate step in the synthetic pattern generation technique. Results show that through the proposed strategy, classification can be done much faster without compromising much in terms of classification accuracy, in fact for some cases it gives better accuracy in lesser time. The classification time and accuracy can be balanced according to available memory and computing power of a system to get the best possible results.

Face of Yesterday: Lets Talk About Specs Baby & Face Routine Chatter!
Over the last couple of days I've settled into a nice little foundation routine & I get asked a lot to talk through all the slap I put on my face every day so this seems like the perfect opportunity.
The Vichy Aqualia Thermal Fortifying & Soothing 24hr Hydrating Care (wow that was a mouthful!) moisturiser is really beautiful. If you have super dry skin maybe you'd want to go for something a little heavier because although this is excellent at hydrating the skin without feeling heavy or greasy, it's sometimes not quite enough. For me it's perfect for the day time and makes a really perfect base for make up but I know I'm on the lookout for a slightly richer cream to use as a night cream.
I have also been popping the Witch Anti-Blemish Skin Clearing Primer on once my moisturiser has sunk in over any especially dry areas of my face such as my cheeks and my nose. Has this helped clear my skin of blemishes? No, but I've found that it does make any foundation apply much more easily and smoothly, which is good!
In terms of foundation I always end up going back to one, and that is MAC Face & Body. This is the only foundation I currently own that doesn't accentuate dry patches on my skin. Now this foundation isn't perfect for me, I could do with one shade lighter and it doesn't quite have the coverage that I would prefer. So if anyone knows of a foundation that doesn't accentuate dry patches on the face, caters for very fair skin and has a medium coverage finish then please let me know!! I think Face & Body can sometimes feel a little heavy on the skin but it wears beautifully throughout the day & even when it's super hot outside and you feel like you're going to melt, this foundation stays put and keeps the rest of your make up looking perfect. It's pretty magical!
I've started to fall back in love with Boi-ing concealer from Benefit which is not good for my purse! This little pot is expensive but because it's quite thick in texture, I feel it gives me slightly more coverage than my other favourite concealer, Lasting Perfection from Collection 2000. In the inner corners of my eyes I've started reaching for Erase Paste from Benefit again. This little pot of brightening goodness is really really lovely. It's very pricey but I've had this same pot for ages and I've still got lots left. It can be a little dry sometimes so make sure you really warm it up using your fingers and don't rub it in to the skin, gently tap it instead. It works wonders!
I always like to powder my foundations, I'm not sure why because I don't think I really need to but I do really like the Witch Pressed Powder in Translucent. I do prefer loose powders generally but this ensures my make up doesn't budge all day!
With eye make up I used to be a '3 coats of mascara and go' girl but lately I've learned how to create the illusion of actually having eyelids & a socket line & I say illusion because I don't really have either of those, darn those hooded eyelids of mine! Using the Urban Decay Naked Palette I've been popping a light dusting of Virgin in the inner corner and over the lid which works wonderfully at brightening the eyes and making me look more awake. Then I mix Naked and Buck on a fluffy brush and start shading in a socket line & building up the intensity. It's subtle but I really like it and it only takes a couple of minutes to do both eyes!
Mascara wise I switch it up all the time but I'm currently testing the new Collection 2000 Super Size Fat Lash. So far I think it's okay, but it's certainly nothing special and I think I prefer Collection 2000's Big Fake Mascara because it makes more of an impact which is good if you have rubbishy lashes like I do!
My favourite part of doing my make up is blusher and we all know by now that my blush collection is a little bit silly. This part of my routine changes all the time but I'm currently pretty obsessed with these two products. The Chocolate Bronzer from Bourjois is my favourite because it blends really easily, it's not shimmery and it looks really natural on the skin. I use this mainly to define my cheekbones but I do sometimes use it to give myself a tiny bit of overall colour and it works wonderfully for that too!
Blush wise, Semi-Precious Rose Quartz from MAC is my new love. It looks gorgeous in the pan and it looks equally as gorgeous on the skin. I squish my brush so it picks up the outer pink colour and dust it over my cheeks before using a slightly smaller brush to pick up some of the centre colour and I apply that to the tops of my cheekbones as a highlight. I adore it!
Finally another step that changes all the time is lips. My lips are always dry so Carmex is a must & then the colours I go for depend on my mood that day. I'm going through a pink phase at the moment so I've been reaching for my Collection 2000 Cream Puff Moisturising Lip Cream in the shade Cotton Candy & then popping a Natural Collection gloss in the shade Sherbet Fizz over the top. Both lip products smell like cake, and as we established the other day, I like cake! Yum.
So that may seem like a lot of products, it does to me, but it doesn't take that long to apply & I don't think I end up looking overdone at all. You can judge for yourself in the picture below!
Now, lets talk about specs...
The other day I discovered that I own a lot of glasses & I usually only ever wear one pair but we all like to have a bit of choice don't we! I'd forgotten that I owned these beauties and they've been getting a lot of love since I rediscovered them! Now I am well aware that these are not going to be to everyone's taste but I love love love them! Without my glasses I can't really see a lot, contact lenses aren't the most comfortable things in the world for me, and since I wear my glasses a lot I want to make a statement with them. There used to be a huge stigma attached to wearing specs and I think that's mostly gone away now which is great! They're not something to be embarrassed about at all and honestly, more people wear glasses than you'd imagine!
I've been lusting over a new pair of glasses so I'm going to give the home trial from Glasses Direct a go. I'm after something a little bit different and I've fallen in love with the frames from London Retro so I'm hoping one of those will suit me! I think I should also opt for a pair of prescription sunglasses because squinting all summer long isn't a sexy look!
Do you wear specs? Do you like to go for statement frames or do you prefer a more subtle look?
What's your current go to face routine?

Your make up looks gorgeous and youre right - It definitely doesnt look over done at all... You look fresh faced and natural! Looking orange is definitely not a good look! :D
I also love your glasses... I think I need some but they dont suit me so Ive been putting it off for a little while! xxI wear lenses mostly, but I love my glasses and go out of my way to find ones I love so wearing them isn't settling for second best. I love both subtle and statement. I have some dead simple but lovely Prada frames which are plain black and silver and kind of everyday and a couple of colour pairs and one Fendi pair with loads of diamante on them for statement, going out and events etc. So much fun to be able to switch around.
Loving your specs, great to have re-discovered them!having an almost identical day! my mum is not happy- but hey, atleast I'm dressed! love these kinds of post, any excuse to buy a heck of a lot of makeup haha. wear glasses sometimes, and I'm not gonna lie I actually like them a lot, but unfortunately my school doesn't share it.
your skin looks amazing!
http://ramzandtheflock.blogspot.com/Beautiful :) Your skin always looks so perfect! Lovely lip combo, I've been a huge fan of Carmex lately. I've not seen the Collection 2000 Cream Puffs, but they've definitely been added to my shopping list now! I use the same eye shadow combination for defining my eyes a bit more - failsafe! xx
Thank you so much for reading! I love when you leave your thoughts so I would love if you left me a little comment, I read every single one, they mean so much and I try my very best to reply to each one!
You are very welcome to leave a link to your blog in your comment, but please just leave one link and I ask you not to promote giveaways. Thank you for understanding. With love, Jennie May xo

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please see this "sticky" post for helpful information concerning your BBID situation:
Hopefully, this information will be of use to you. Given your situation, I suspect you cannot get past this without human intervention (which is discussed in that post)...all of the automated recovery methods require either the correct security question response or that the BBID already have been validated, which is the step you are actually now on. Hence, I doubt that the automated recovery methods will work for you.
Cheers, and Good Luck!

Madrid, Nov 12, 2008 / 09:21 pm (CNA).- The Spanish daily "La Razon" has published an article on the pro-life conversion of a former "champion of abortion." Stojan Adasevic, who performed 48,000 abortions, sometimes up to 35 per day, is now the most important pro-life leader in Serbia, after 26 years as the most renowned abortion doctor in the country."The medical textbooks of the Communist regime said abortion was simply the removal of a blob of tissue," the newspaper reported. "Ultrasounds allowing the fetus to be seen did not arrive until the 80s, but they did not change his opinion. Nevertheless, he began to have nightmares."In describing his conversion, Adasevic "dreamed about a beautiful field full of children and young people who were playing and laughing, from 4 to 24 years of age, but who ran away from him in fear. A man dressed in a black and white habit stared at him in silence. The dream was repeated each night and he would wake up in a cold sweat. One night he asked the man in black and white who he was. 'My name is Thomas Aquinas,' the man in his dream responded. Adasevic, educated in communist schools, had never heard of the Dominican genius saint. He didn't recognize the name""Why don't you ask me who these children are?" St. Thomas asked Adasevic in his dream."They are the ones you killed with your abortions,' St. Thomas told him."Adasevic awoke in amazement and decided not to perform any more abortions," the article stated."That same day a cousin came to the hospital with his four months-pregnant girlfriend, who wanted to get her ninth abortion—something quite frequent in the countries of the Soviet bloc. The doctor agreed. Instead of removing the fetus piece by piece, he decided to chop it up and remove it as a mass. However, the baby's heart came out still beating. Adasevic realized then that he had killed a human being" . . . (continue reading).

In 2012 there were three sprinters who each won three stages each: Mark Cavendish, Peter Sagan and André Greipel. All three of them won their respective national championships the weekend before the 100th Tour de France and, so far, two of them have claimed a stage victory in the opening week. Cavendish got his turn in Marseille and in Montpellier it was Greipel who was first to the line... Sagan wears yellow but admitted that it was impossible to beat the German in stage six.
"The whole day was a really nervous one; with the wind everybody seemed afraid that it might split. But for me the sprint a close one but the team was there for me and they supported me well for the lead-out and I think they were going pretty fast.
"It's nice to hear that [Peter] Sagan thinks it was impossible for him to win again me. Yesterday I hesitated a little bit in the sprint but today I really went for it and the team did too and of course I'm really proud to win again – the day couldn't have ended better.
"I don't know if Mark Cavendish was hindered by his fall, he was there at the finish. We are hard people: even when we crash, we are still there to do our job a lot of the time. Last year I also crashed two times near the end of a stage and I was still there for the sprint. I think he is okay because he is sprinting. He won yesterday and I won today and I think it's good because it's our objective to win stages."

Advertisement Okay, that's a bit dismissive of a fair amount of actual data analysis. McGill University computer science professor Derek Ruths mapped the similarities between the two movies by figuring out how many scenes each character had and how often they interacted with each other. As reported by Wired, the results were that the character groups and roles are nearly identical—droids, rebels, Force users, etc. Weirdly, though, an algorithm looking at who interacts with whom matched Kylo Ren to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Rey to, of all people, Darth Vader. Advertisement "The mapping isn't looking at attributes, it's looking at who interacts with who," Ruths told Wired, "so we get a different retelling of that story." The numbers tell us one thing, while our instincts about the qualities of the people involved tell us that Rey is obviously more Luke than Vader.So, on the one hand, the data tells us something we all already knew: The Force Awakens is very similar to A New Hope. On the other hand, it also tells us something we might reject: that the characters matches are different than we think. The question then is whether the themes and characterizations are more true than the numbers. Contact the author at firstname.lastname@example.com repliesLeave a reply

In the market for a new handbag? Bid on purses that once belonged to Eva Longoria, Elsa Zylberstein, Sarah Lavoine, Vahina Giocante, Pascale Arbillot, and Sonia Rolland at an online auction taking place from December 1 through 5.
The celebrities offered to donate their accessories for an online charity auction to be held on the French website instantluxe.com. All profits from the sale will benefit the non-profit organization Paris Tout P'tits, which provides food and hygenic products for disadvantaged babies. The Paris Tout P'tits/InstantLuxe charity auction is now in its second year. Last fall, French celebrities Claire Chazal and Laetitia Hallyday were among those who donated their jewelry, bags and other accessories for the initiative.
Auction bids for this year's event will start at 100 euros ($132 USD). To participate, Web users must first become a member of the site by registering basic information like their name, address, and email.
InstantLuxe, founded in 2009, is an online marketplace for certified authentic luxury goods and operates in the same manner as its direct competitor, the French site VestiairedeCopines.com. Both platforms allow individuals and professionals to buy and sell second-hand goods, including jewelry and handbags, from upscale brands. Recurring sales on InstantLuxe revolve around gently used Hermès, Chanel and Louis Vuitton bags and Rolex watches.
Aside from the Paris Tout P'tits event, InstantLuxe doesn't host any other charity auctions on its site. Conversely, there are several web platforms that specialize in selling celebrity memorabilia for a good cause. For example, The Clothes Off Our Back regularly hosts online auctions of clothing worn by celebrities like Julianne Moore, Rachel McAdams, and Lisa Loeb. Items are put up for bid to the public with proceeds going to benefit children's charities.

Bob Servant apparently owes his existence to email scammers. Like Henry Root, Willie Donaldson's imaginary letter writer, Servant was Neil Forsyth's alter ego in writing to online swindlers and con men, responding to them with a garrulous energy that drove even the most persistent of them to the point of distraction in the end.
Conceived as an act of subversive revenge against the tricksters, he's now been bodied forth by Brian Cox in Bob Servant Independent, a BBC Scotland comedy about Bob's attempt to be elected as MP for Broughty Ferry, a suburb of Dundee. Bob believes that he's one of nature's leaders, not a follower. "I'm not a punter. Never have been, never will be," he tells his gormless political assistant (formerly Director of Sauces for Bob's burger-van company). "I look at your Obamas and your Gandhis and your Burt Reynolds and I think, 'That's my mob, that's my mob right there'."
The opening sequence of Forsyth's comedy was very nicely done, a tour of Bob's smart conservatory looking out on the estuary of the Tay, which teasingly steered clear of Cox's face in favour of the trophies of Bob's business life and shots of his hands as he sketched out the path to power. His electoral strategy is simple. Talk to the young people and then "they'll phone the internet" and spread the word for him. He has boundless energy, limitless confidence in his own abilities and an election poster: "Vote for Bob Servant – because you know him and he's OK". But he does have one liability – his mouth. Every time Bob opens it he loses more votes. So eager is he to please the first caller to the radio show he appears on that he ends up pledging to shoot any dogs that enter a local park. When the police are called he's indignant: "That was a metaphor," he protests. "A metaphor for what?" asks the policeman. "Life," replies Bob after a brief pause.
There are rough edges here, but Cox speeds you past them by the ebullience of his performance, and quite often I found myself simultaneously thinking that it was all getting a bit silly and laughing at it at the same time. There's something joyfully inventive about Bob's foolishness too, a sideways skitter that keeps throwing up lines you couldn't quite have predicted. Trying to spin himself out of trouble with the enraged dog owners of Broughty Ferry, Bob goes back on the radio to insist that he's been taken out of context and is himself grieving for a lost dog called Dancer. "Do you have a description of Dancer?" asks the sceptical DJ. "Oh... he just loves life," replies Bob. Hard to categorise, but the fact that it is is one of its pleasures.
Life after War: Haunted by Helmand followed some of the surviving soldiers from one of the bloodier engagements of the war in Afghanistan – an ambush that left five soldiers from a patrol dead and several more seriously injured. Some of the wounds are physical – the group's commander, Alex, had lost a leg and a hand in an explosion – and others are mental, with recurrent nightmares, flashbacks and depression afflicting the survivors. One soldier found it hard to shake a fear of IEDs, even when walking through a west London shopping centre. A loose drain cover or a sudden noise would jolt him back to Helmand. Another hadn't had an unbroken night's sleep for three years.
Michael Price's film properly reminded you that the dangers don't stop when the troops get back, but it was a little marred by wishful thinking – or at least television's addiction to the upbeat conclusion. "The reunion has achieved everything that Alex hoped for," the voiceover said about the meeting that gave the film a climax. Everything? Really? With several of his men still struggling with mental- health problems? I somehow doubt that, however one might hope it was the truth.

UPDATE: Level 5 also mentioned a few more gameplay details for the game's DS version. It looks as if you stay at the Matatabi Inn in-game, you can access the 'World of Dreams,' where you're presented puzzles by the Dream Guide, and you'll need the Magic Master book to complete them. The book also helps you get info on magic and monsters as well. Ni No Kuni's monsters are called Imagine, and like Pok�mon and Shin Megami Tensei games, you can recruit them, level them and bring them into battle with you. You can also trade them with other players, or use them in multiplayer versus modes.
There is also a Traveling Egg system which makes use of your DS' wifi access, if enabled, where Tag Mode exchanges these eggs, which can contain items or Imagine, while your DS sleeps. You then choose whether to open the egg, or leave it as is so that it gets passed onto someone else when your DS is put to sleep again. By passing on eggs, you accumulate Egg Points, but if you want to break one open, you'll use up somne of these points. The eggs themselves also have a level of their own, so the higher its level, the more rare its contents are.
Level 5 will also offer downloadable items and events for the next year after release, much like what they had also done with Dragon Quest IX. There will also be a ship which will give you access to more areas, including Casino City where you'll find all sorts of minigames.
Ni No Kuni is out for the Nintendo DS on December 9th in Japan. Level 5 has alluded to a North American release, but there's no confirmation quite yet.

We stayed in the largest room (includes two twin beds and a queen sized bed). All around nice compared to other Croatian rooms, especially for a room for just sleeping before an early flight. Driver even rejected a tip when dropping us off with the shuttle and wanted to make sure we simply enjoyed our stay. Some faint smell of smoke the entire time even though it was a non-smoking room. Close to a bar that was up late Saturday night (heard them until closing time at 2AM).
Great staff who spoke great English. We only stayed one night and I had a stomach bug the entire time we were there and the staff did everything they could to help me feel comfortable.Very clean and nicely decorated. The shower was only warm, not hot.

Complementing the MultiMeleeMaster, the MultiRangedMaster is a character who wields at least two distinct types of ranged weapons, ones which would require distinctly different techniques.
Wielding a rifle is very different to aiming a pistol, and using heavy weapons like bazookas and grenade launchers even more radically different. And as for those protagonists who use bows... or [[InWorkingOrder alien weapons.]] Basically, if a character carries two distinct types of ranged weapon, both of which would require a lot of practice to use without necessarily giving competence with the other, you have this trope.
May be a WalkingArmory if the character doesn't have access to a HyperspaceArsenal.
Aside from being a signature of the CrazyPrepared, it marks a character as diligent, as well as well trained.
Sub-trope of ChoiceOfTwoWeapons.
[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
* Mana Tatsumiya, resident gunslinger of Manga/MahouSenseiNegima, changes between rifle, submachine gun and handcannons easily.
* [[{{Naruto}} Team Guy's]] Tenten is this, specifically for throwing weapons. If she can hurl it she will.
* Teana Lanster of the ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' franchise, who starts off trained on MagiTek pistols in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikerS'', learns Nanoha's {{Signature|Move}} WaveMotionGun technique in ''AudioPlay/StrikersSoundStageX'' and masters it by ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'', and later gains a non-magical assault rifle that could fire [[EnergyWeapons energy]] and [[KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter physical]] bolts for use against the {{Mage Killer}}s of ''Manga/MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce''.
* ''Anime/SenkiZesshouSymphogear'': Chris Yukine's Ichi-Val gear gives her AutomaticCrossbows by default, but can also produce anything from [[MacrossMissileMassacre missile packs]] to [[GatlingGood Gatling guns]] to ''[[NoKillLikeOverkill freaking ICBMs]]'', and she's very capable of kicking ass with all of them. Her DangerousForbiddenTechnique produces either a WaveMotionTuningFork {{BFG}} that looks like a combination between the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Double Buster Rifle]] and the [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Satellite Cannon]] (with a [[Anime/TurnAGundam Moonlight Butterfly]] thrown in for good measure), or an absolutely '''gigantic''' missile rack with literally hundreds of missiles.
* Gene Starwind of ''Manga/OutlawStar'' primarily wields a pistol most of the time, a short double barreled shotgun for tougher opponents, and his hand cannon sized magic Caster Gun for powerful magic using opponents. He has also used bazookas, rocket launchers, and a multi-missle launcher to various effect.
[[folder:Comic Books]]
* Creator/MarvelComics:
** Comicbook/{{Hawkeye}} of [[Comicbook/TheAvengers Avengers]] fame, especially in his Ultimates version, where he can shoot, throw, flick, spit, and otherwise glance at you with deadly results.
** [[Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} Bullseye]] is an equally extreme example, if not moreso. Pretty telling that Bullseye impersonated Hawkeye in the Comicbook/DarkAvengers.
* Miho in ''Comicbook/SinCity'' can use normal shuriken, her bladed manji, throwing knives, or arrows.
* One particular scene from ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'' features [[OneManArmy John Harrison]] curb-stomping a small army of Klingons, supported by couple of their airships. He's wielding two guns at the moment, one of them being [[{{BFG}} anti-tank weapon]] ''[[{{BFG}} roughly his own size]]''. Not only he uses them both single-handedly at once, [[ImprobableWeaponUser he even manages to use it as close-combat weapon]]. [[spoiler: A subtle hint of him actually being genetically-enhanced SuperSoldier.]] A few seconds later Harrison casually shows that he's no slouch with throwing knives either.
* In ''Literature/DancesWithWolves,'' Lt. Dunbar arms the bow-and-arrow/tomahawk-using Indians with ''Winchester rifles;'' despite having absolutely ''no'' training, they succeed in wiping out the enemy tribe in a one-sided victory.
[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Kamen Rider Zolda]] (and his [[Series/KamenRiderDragonKnight American counterpart Kamen Rider Torque]]) have, besides the handgun-sized machine gun Magna Visor, a pair of shoulder-mounted cannons and a handheld artillery gun.
[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* Usually averted in ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}'' unless your character has taken weapons training with the weapon type. Different kinds of weapons require different skills, and [[KillerGamemaster considering what the GM is likely to be like,]] achieving a level of mastery with two types of weapon is unlikely to happen.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'':
** {{Space Marine}}s are trained with both bolters (fully automatic anti-tank rifles) and bolt pistols. Quite useful in gameplay, as they can't charge the enemy in the same turn they fired the bolter in.
** Many ranged [[SwordAndGun (and melee)]] units have pistols to fire before charging in an assault. That is generally not a good idea since most ranged units will never go as much damage as any unit made for melee face-to-face, and most standard ranged weapons are rapid-fire meaning they fire two shots instead of one when in range to assault as opposed to firing one shot with their pistols and charging in. Utilizing rapid-fire is generally prefered for most units. It can work for the {{Space Marine}}s, being TheMario, though.
** Pistols -can- be fired and still allow a unit to charge in the 5th Edition of the game and earlier. Many weapons, including all pistols, are classed "Assault" weapons. This means anyone carrying that weapon can shoot normally and charge later in the turn. Since not every model in a unit must shoot, a unit which plans to close to close combat can choose to fire ''only'' its assault weapons, including ''all'' pistols. A player usually should try to shoot the enemy first to soften them up, unless the enemy is one who has no chance in close combat and might retreat out of range if shot up. For example, Khorne Berserkers are axe-crazy madmen who can decimate the RedShirtArmy Imperial Guardsmen in hand to hand; they may hold off shooting their pistols. If the Guardsmen fall back from shooting, they may escape the close combat, rally, turn around, and light up the Berserkers. An even more canny player may shoot only a few pistol shots, softening up the target as much as they can without actually risking the enemy retreating out of range. Consequently, units with mixed ranged weapons really fit this trope when considering whether or not they want to be able to fight close combat later in the turn and whether they want to curbstomp their enemies in one turn or draw out the combat (to avoid being shot on their opponent's turn). This really hits home when shooting/assaulting Space Marines; they can ''choose'' to fall back from your shooting if it's advantageous to, like, say, if it helps them avoid an assault they want no part of.
** Upgrades for squads generally allow the squad to have different ranged weapons from one another. Mixing anti-tank and anti-infantry weapons in the same squad is not advised though, since they can only attack one or the other in ([[HouseRules standard, mind you]]) rules.
** Tau Battlesuits fit this trope very frequently, as most carry at least two weapons, most carry upgrades letting them fire two weapons in a turn, and they have ranges from "terrifying close" to "across the damn table." Whether the competence in one is not competence in the other requirement is met is debatable, as the character is piloting a suit, and who knows whether these different weapon systems require different training.
** Ork weaponry, being ''extremely'' varied and downright nonsensical, is semi-powered by the owner thinking it works and holding down the trigger.
* Many a character in TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons 3.0 or later or TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}} is automatically proficient with a stunning array of ranged weapons and may carry two or three of them at will. A typical fighter may be roughly as competent with a thrown dagger, thrown hammer, javelin, longbow, crossbow, shortbow, sling, darts, a blowgun, and a chakram at first level. The list of melee weapons such a character knows how to use is far longer. When you realize human first level characters created by the rules are often about 16 years old, one can only wonder when they found time to learn it all. This is generally considered an AcceptableBreakFromReality. Earlier D&D characters also could fit this trope, but the player had very limited slots for characters to learn to use weapons and it would be based on player choice.
* Ranged combat abilities in ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' function like this. Archery skill governs the use of any ranged "weaponry apparatus," which includes bows & arrows, crossbows, [[KillItWithFire firewands and flame pieces]], [[StuffBlowingUp fuel-bolt launchers]], siege weaponry, and [[{{BFG}} First-Age Essence cannons]]; Thrown skill likewise includes knives, slings, hatchets, throwing batons, javelins, darts, [[EpicFlail chain daiklaives]] and boomerangs. Specialty points can increase a character's skill to extremes with a particular weapon of choice, but a flat Archery or Thrown rating implies proficiency or excellence with everything under that umbrella.
[[folder:Video Games]]
* Let's get the obvious out of the way first: 90+% of all {{FPS}} protagonists, ever.
** Franchise/JamesBond was likely the first to [[GunsAkimbo wield two very different weapons at the same time]], wielding an [[AKA47 AR33]] in one hand and a grenade launcher in the other in ''[[VideoGame/GoldenEye1997 GoldenEye 007]]''.
* Link (in his various incarnations) from ''Francise/TheLegendOfZelda'' has used a bow, a boomerang, a slingshot, a hookshot/clawshot (a hook or claw on a spring-powered chain), a grappling hook, various magical staves and wands, a whip, a wrecking ball on a chain, a sword that shoots laser beams, bombs that can be thrown or rolled, and a remote-controlled robotic beetle. Oh, and a fishing rod. Although no single game contains all of these, he definitely always has at least three of them.
* ''VideoGame/{{Fable}}'' allows the protagonist to operate both a longbow and crossbow with equal competence, despite the two weapons being very different in function and requiring a lifetime of practice with the longbow. (Crossbows are easier to pick up and learn to fire, and don't require the same insane levels of strength.) The sequel does away with the longbow but adds rifles, blunderbusses and pistols into the mix, which are different from crossbows again. The third game does away with crossbows altogether
* The Soldier class in ''VideoGame/MakaiKingdom'' excels at using rifle and another ranged weapon. Males favor [[GatlingGood gatling guns]] while females are proficient with [[VideogameFlamethrowersSuck flamethrowers]].
* In ''VideoGame/WorldInConflict'', Rifleman squads have a medic, a rifleman, an AT soldier, an AA soldier and a machinegunner, with the first two having grenade launchers mounted on their rifles. Anti-tank squads have mostly AT soldiers with a medic and some riflemen, lacking grenade launchers.
* Ezio Auditore from ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'' is this ''and'' MultiMeleeMaster. While his ancestor Altaïr only used throwing knives - the crossbow was CutscenePowerToTheMax and doesn't count - Ezio eventually gains a [[ArmCannon Hidden Gun]] and, in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedBrotherhood'', a crossbow.
* [[EgomaniacHunter Mordecai]] from ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' is both a skilled sharpshooter and an archetypical [[TheGunslinger gunslinger]].
** Taken [[UpToEleven a bit further]] in the [[{{VideoGame/Borderlands2}} sequel]] with Gunzerker character class, which is capable of [[GunsAkimbo dual-wielding]] ''any'' pair of weapons, no matter the type.
* Laguna in ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' doesn't need swords or sorcery, nor even significant athletic ability. While others are trading barrages of Holy and a lifetime's martial training with each other, Laguna just shoots things. With a machine gun, a sniper rifle, a shotgun, a bazooka, a multi-rocket launcher, grenades, sticky bombs and electro-shield bombs. Oh, and a laser cannon. Also, Vaan, to a lesser extent, as he can use a rifle and crossbow and Firion who can uses a longbow and throwing knives.
* Billy Lee Black from ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' wields pistols, two elemental-bullet firing guns and a shotgun. The game's combat system lets him swap between the weapons seamlessly, but his combos stand out: Launching an enemy into the air with a shotgun, then firing two pistols at them to juggle them in mid-air. And that's just the start!
* The Ranger job tree in ''{{Dragonica}}'' uses a different type of firearm (plus multiple types of grenades and a remote drone or two) for nearly every attack skill, with their actual equipped weapon being a crossbow.
* While ''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'' allows you to carry different types of ranged weapons (bows and crossbows), it was superfluous because ranged combat isn't too useful. Its SpiritualSuccessor ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' however, allows you to become a bona fide pure non-magic user ranged weapon fighter. At least three weapons are viable for this playstyle: The Dragonslayer Greatbow, Composite/Darkmoon Bow, and Avelyn. The first is a [[AbnormalAmmo spear-firing]] large bow that does tremendous damage and knockback with sluggish reload time, the second is a fast-firing medium range bow that can be used for harrassing players, and the last is a triple-shot crossbow that can kill other players scarily fast, but has a long vulnerability window and high end ammo costs can really break the Soul Bank. Switching between these three gives the most flexibility and advantage in a battle.
* This is pretty much a necessity in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'''s Multiplayer; the sheer usefulness of sniper rifles means that most any class that isn't Vanguard or Adept is carrying a sniper rifle as a primary weapon, and a short ranged weapon, typically a pistol or SMG, as a backup. As an example, a common loadout is Mantis sniper and Predator pistol, which is actually quite practical as the ''stock'' Mantis can dish out one hit kills with [[AbnormalAmmo ammo mods]] and [[BoomHeadshot headshots]], while the Predator, properly leveled and outfitted, is less like a pistol and more like a small semiauto rifle.
** This is the default for several player classes in the second game in the trilogy (not counting heavy weapons) and all squadmates can carry at most two different weapons.
** Even in the third game, while Shepard can use all weapon classes, the encumbrance system means that power reliant classes can as a general rule only carry two different weapons. Averted with the Soldier Class who can, with the right weapons and mods potentially carry up to four weapons at once and still have close to maximum cooldown bonus. And Soldiers are less reliant on power cooldowns to start with if you want to add more or use heavier weapons.
* In ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'', Warriors, Engineers, Rangers, and Thieves can all use at least 2 nonmagical ranged weapons. All except the engineer can switch between 2 weapon sets in combat as well, and the engineer gets skills that open up an array of other weapons.
* In ''VideoGame/MarvelAvengersAlliance'', ComicBook/ThePunisher is depicted with a number of guns on his person, and has a move which switches both his class and his gun.
* In ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', Archer [[spoiler:and Shirou]] can call down a StormOfBlades, or turn functional copies of magical swords into arrows and fire them from bows.
* The Tenno from ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'' switch effortlessly between assault rifles, bows, kunai, pistols, shotguns, sniper rifles, other heavy ordnance... Pretty much every weapon you can think of.
* Noel Vermillion of ''VideoGame/{{Blazblue}}'' uses Arcus Diabolus: Bolverk, which can become a pair of long pistols, a minigun, a rocket launcher, and as of ''Chronophantasma'', a shotgun. [[{{Magitek}} Bolverk is not a gun in the traditional "as-we-know-it" sense...]]
* Erron Black of ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'' carries both a lever-action rifle and paired revolvers in his Marksman variation, though he uses them at ranges so short as to almost make the differences academic at best.
* In ''Videogame/MechWarrior'', most [[HumongousMecha BattleMechs]] by default carry a mix of HitScan lasers, MissileLockOn, and ballistic weaponry, though players often minmax their loadouts in [[CharacterCustomization the Mechlab]] to a specific subtype. In ''[=MechWarrior Living Legends=]'', the popular Warhammer "Prime" variant carries a pair of particle projector cannons with travel time, quadruple hitscan pulse lasers, and a short-range dumbfire missile launcher, allowing it to engage at multiple ranges and unleash withering firepower at close range.
[[folder:Real Life]]
* Officers in the British armed forces will learn to shoot both their standard issue rifle and their signature handguns, though these are falling out of favour nowadays, and all soldiers are expected to know how to use crew-served machine guns and anti-armour weapons in an emergency even if they aren't specialists.
* It's also pretty common for infantry to have one or two members of a squad carry a light anti-tank weapon just in case they run into enemy armoured vehicles or -more likely these days- a heavily fortified MG nest that they can't silence with grenades.
* Armoured vehicle or helicopter crews usually have a carbine or sub-machine gun each, but since the only time they'll actually fire their small arms in combat is after getting forced to bail out of their vehicle they also wear sidearms in case they can't retrieve their bail-out bags.
* Police in America carry a handgun normally, but they do have a shotgun in the car if something heavier is needed. One would think they'd choose a more long-ranged weapon, such as a rifle, but policemen prefer shorter-range weapons because the longer range on rifles means they might go through a house or car or street and kill bystanders even if they ''don't'' miss their targets.
** This is not to say that they don't have rifles as well. But those are usually reserved for [[MoreDakka SWAT]] [[BigDamnHeroes teams]] and situations where they're dealing with shooters with body armor. In the aftermath of the 1997 North Hollywood shootout, it ''has' become more common for patrol cars to have a rifle stored in the trunk just in case, especially in larger cities that can afford to issue so many weapons to each officer.
** Also, the range limitation of shotguns is vastly exaggerated. They're actually quite effective up to 200-300 feet, far beyond the range that would mostly be called for. Rifles are simply more likely to ricochet or overpenetrate. Additionally, the penetration of shotguns is grotesquely exaggerated. For all a shotgun's ability to tear flesh, they really do a poor job of ripping through cover. This is a benefit for a cop. If a shot misses, a shotgun has a lower chance to punch through a wall or door and hit someone else.
* Scottish Highlanders often carried both a longbow and a Musket-so they'd have both a fast firing long ranged weapon for lightly armoured troops and a slower firing mid ranged one for heavy infantry.
* [[BornInTheSaddle Huns]] often carried both a set of darts and a composite bow.
* After lessons learned from Vietnam, modern fighter jets carry an autocannon, short ranged infrared missiles, and long range active radar missiles to remain effective from a few hundred yards to a hundred miles.
* USAF Security Forces maintain qualifications with the M9 handgun and M4 carbine at all times they can also become qualified on the M249, M240, M203, [=MK19=], and M2 and in a few rare cases the M24 and Barrett .50 cal.
