Kurt Cobain in Guitar Hero 5
While the Beatles dominated headlines this week by being the newest "members" of the music video game Rock Band, a rival game, Guitar Hero, is facing a barrage of criticism over its depiction of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
The game, which launched today, allows users to play along with Cobain and pick from the band's back catalogue, as well as other famous songs. Both games feature avatars (virtual characters) of dead rock stars but it is Guitar Hero's depiction of Cobain that has upset Nirvana fans.
At the centre of the furore is the singer's widow, Courtney Love, (right) who outraged fans by allowing his likeness to be used in the game. As the widow of Cobain, who killed himself in 1994, Love holds the rights to his estate. But shortly after clips of Cobain's avatar were posted online, Love, 45, wrote a number of angry messages on Twitter attempting to distance herself from the final product.
"It's disgusting and vile and is the result of a cabal of a few assholes' greed," she wrote in response to criticism from music critic Everett True, who accused her and the other Nirvana members of being "vacuous" and "spoiled" for sanctioning it.
"Not in twenty JILLION years would I EVER have allowed this," wrote Love, who says she will sue Activision, the company behind it. One of the features of the game that has most angered fans is the ability to play songs by other groups while in the guise of Cobain. The surviving members of Nirvana, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl put out a statement calling on Activision to alter the game.
"We are dismayed and very disappointed in the way a facsimile of Kurt is used in Guitar Hero. The name and likeness of Kurt Cobain are the sole property of his estate – we have no control whatsoever in that area.
"We didn't know players have the ability to unlock the character. This allows the character to be used with any kind of song the player wants. We urge Activision to do the right thing in 'relocking' Kurt's character," the pair said.
Activision is trying to rise above the criticism. The company's vice-president told journalists earlier this week that Love was "great to work with", and had contributed photos and videos for them to use.

Before proceeding to action, should be familiar with the contents of the section "Health and safety"!
Для грамотного связывания рук за спиной следует учитывать и использовать некоторые особенности человеческой анатомии. For the literate linking hands behind his back should be taken into account and use certain features of human anatomy. В частности, форму позвоночника и и положение суставов рук относительно него. In particular, the shape and position of the spine and joints of hands on him.
Как известно из анатомии, позвоночник человека не прямой, а имеет несколько изгибов, как это видно из следующей фотографии: As we know from anatomy, human spine is not straight, but has a few bends, as is evident from the following photos:
Уточню, что видны не непосредственно изгибы позвоночника, но та форма тела, которая присуща человеку благодаря этим изгибам. Stating that are not directly visible bending of the spine, but the form of the body, which is inherent to man through these bends. Заметно, что в районе грудной клетки позвоночник делает изгиб наружу в сторону спины, а в районе поясницы - прогибается в сторону живота. It is noticeable that in the thoracic spine does bend outward toward the back, and in the waist - is bending toward the abdomen. Также на этой фотографии видно, что при подобном положении рук локтевой сустав оказывается как раз на уровне поясничного изгиба. Also in this picture shows that when such a situation the hands of the elbow is just at the level of the lumbar curve. И еще одна заметная важная вещь - плечевой сустав и участок позвоночника в районе поясничного изгиба находятся почти на одной вертикали. And one more important thing noticeable - the shoulder joint and part of the spine in the lumbar region of the bending are almost the same column.
Перечисленные замеченные особенности позволяют разместить сложенные предплечьями за спиной руки так, чтобы предплечья расположились как раз в районе поясничного изгиба, горизонтально: These features allow us to accommodate noticed forearms folded hands behind his back so that the forearm is located right in the lumbar curvature, horizontal:
Такое положение рук физиологично и удобно: суставы рук находятся в положениях, предусмотренных их естественной подвижностью, нагрузки на них не производится, не пережимаются никакие кровеносные сосуды, для фиксации рук в таком положении достаточно буквально нескольких ограничивающих движения витков. Such a physiological position of the hands and convenient: the joints of hands are in regulations, provided their natural mobility, the burden on them is not compressed by any blood vessels, for fixing the hands in this position quite literally restricting the movement of several revolutions. Именно таким положением рекомендую ограничиться начинающим. That is the position recommended limiting beginners.
Возможны еще два (крайних) положения рук за спиной. Perhaps even two (extreme) position of his hands behind his back. Первое - когда руки в локтях максимально согнуты и ладони находятся в районе лопаток. The first - when the elbows bent and palms most are in the area of the blades. Второе - руки в локтях выпрямлены, ладони находятся на уровне ягодиц. Second - elbows straightened, his hands are on the level of the buttocks. Вот как это выглядит: Here's how it looks:

Эти положения уже создают нагрузку на локтевой и плечевой суставы, при выполнении обвязок необходимо большее количество фиксирующих витков. These provisions are already causing strain on the elbow and shoulder joints when performing studs need more fixing coils. Кроме того, не все люди способны разместить руки таким образом, у непривычного человека могут возникнуть болевые ощущения. In addition, not all people are able to place his hands in such a way, a person may experience unusual pain. На таких людях выполнять обвязки с этими положениями рук не стоит. In such people perform binding to these provisions, the hands are not worth it. А если все-таки хочется - сперва несколько недель позаниматься гимнастикой. And if you still want to - first few weeks go in gymnastics.
Все остальные симмтричные положения рук за спиной представляют собой прмежуточные стадии между этими двумя. All other provisions simmtrichnye hands behind their backs are prmezhutochnye stage between the two. Где-то посередине между ними находится наиболее анатомически предпочтительное положение. Somewhere in the middle between them is the most anatomically preferred position. Положения для связывания выбираются с учетом состояний суставов - чем они менее подвижны и натренированы, тем меньшее отклонение от среднего промежуточного положения допускается. Provisions for binding are selected taking into account the conditions of the joints - than they are less mobile and trained, the less deviation from the average intermediate position allowed.
